Changes Versus Prior Disclosure
The announcement supplements the February 6, 2024 strategic plan disclosure by adding estimates for shareholder remuneration. TIM states that the other previously released indicators and projections remain unchanged.
Outlook, Conditions, and Risks
- Shareholder remuneration includes interest on equity, dividends, share repurchases, or other applicable instruments and remains subject to business performance and Board approval.
- Guidance figures normalize non-recurring effects.
- Capex guidance excludes potential third-license renewals and new frequency auctions.
- Projections assume no major change to the current regulatory and tax framework.
- Management’s outlook depends on continued market rationalization, sustained demand for data, technology efficiencies, and favorable macroeconomic and business conditions.
Investor Verification Items
- Verify the basis and calculation of the R$11.8–R$12.2 billion shareholder remuneration target, including the timing and form of distributions.
- Monitor actual service revenue, EBITDA, EBITDA margin, capex, and EBITDA after leases less capex against the stated ranges.
- Assess whether regulatory changes, tax changes, spectrum auctions, or license renewals could affect capex and guidance.
- Confirm that Board approvals and operating performance support the planned shareholder remuneration.
