PRESENTATION OF INFORMATION

In this annual report, TIM Participações S.A., a publicly-held company (sociedade anônima) organized under the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil, is referred to as “TIM,” “TIM Participações,” the “Company” or the “Holding Company.” References to “we,” “us” and “our” are to TIM together with, where the context so requires and as explained more fully below, one or more of TIM Sul S.A. (“TIM Sul”), TIM Nordeste Telecomunicações S.A. (“TIM Nordeste”), TIM Celular S.A. (“TIM Celular”), and Intelig Telecomunicações Ltda. (“Intelig”), each a directly or indirectly wholly owned operating subsidiary of the Holding Company and a corporation organized under the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil.

References in this annual report to the “common shares” are to the common shares of TIM. References to the “American Depositary Shares” or “ADSs” are to TIM’s American Depositary Shares, each representing five common shares. The ADSs are evidenced by American Depositary Receipts, or “ADRs,” which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, or the NYSE, under the symbol “TSU.”

Prior to August 2, 2011, we had common shares and preferred shares listed on the São Paulo Stock Exchange ( BM&FBOVESPA S.A. - Bolsa de Valores Mercadorias e Futuros ), or the BM&FBOVESPA, under the symbols “TCSL3” and “TCSL4,” respectively, and our ADSs each represented ten preferred shares. As part of our migration to the Novo Mercado listing segment of the BM&FBOVESPA, our preferred shares ceased to trade on August 2, 2011. On August 4, 2011, our ADSs representing preferred shares ceased to trade on the NYSE. From August 3, 2011, we only had common shares traded on the Novo Mercado listing segment of BM&FBOVESPA, under the symbol “TIMP3” and as from August 5, 2011, our ADSs representing five common shares instead of ten preferred shares commenced trading on the NYSE.

Market Share Data

We calculate market share information based on information provided by Brazil’s National Telecommunications Agency ( Agência Nacional de Telecomunicações ), or Anatel. We calculate penetration data based on information provided by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics ( Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística ), or IBGE.

Presentation of Financial Information

We maintain our books and records in reais . The consolidated financial statements included in this annual report were prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil as issued by the Brazilian Accounting Pronouncements Committee ( Comitê de Pronunciamentos Contábeis ), or CPC, and with the International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, or IASB. As a complement to the CPC and IFRS principles, the Company also applies accounting practices established under Brazilian corporate law and rules issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission ( Comissão de Valores Mobiliários ), or CVM, and Anatel. The selected financial information for the Company included in “Item 3A. Key Information—Selected Financial Data” should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the IFRS financial statements of the Company and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” appearing elsewhere in this annual report.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying our accounting policies. Those areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements, are disclosed in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements.

All references herein to the “ real ,” “ reais ” or “R$” are to the Brazilian real , the official currency of Brazil. All references to “U.S. dollars,” “dollars” or “U.S.$” are to United States dollars.

Solely for the convenience of the reader, we have translated some amounts included in “Item 3A. Key Information—Selected Financial Data” and elsewhere in this annual report from reais into U.S. dollars using the commercial selling exchange rate as reported by the Central Bank of Brazil ( Banco Central do Brasil ), or Central Bank, at December 31, 2014 of R$2.66 to U.S.$1.00. These translations should not be considered representations that any such amounts have been, could have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars at that or at any other exchange rate. Such translations should not be construed as representations that the real amounts represent or have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars as of that or any other date. See “Item 3. Key Information—A. Selected Financial Data—Exchange Rates” for information regarding exchange rates for the Brazilian currency.

Table of Contents

Certain figures included in this annual report have been subject to rounding adjustments. Accordingly, figures shown as totals in certain tables may not be an arithmetic aggregation of the figures that precede them.

The “Technical Glossary” at the end of this annual report provides definitions of certain technical terms used in this annual report and in the documents incorporated in this annual report by reference.

FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION

This annual report contains statements in relation to our plans, forecasts, expectations regarding future events, strategies and projections, which are forward-looking statements and involve risks and uncertainties and are therefore, not guarantees of future results. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they were made, and we undertake no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements after we file this annual report because of new information, future events and other factors. We and our representatives may also make forward-looking statements in press releases and oral statements. Statements that are not statements of historical fact, including statements about the beliefs and expectations of our management, are forward-looking statements. Words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intend,” “plan,” “predict,” “project” and “target” and similar words are intended to identify forward-looking statements, which necessarily involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Our actual results and performance could differ substantially from those anticipated in our forward-looking statements. These statements appear in a number of places in this annual report, principally in “Item 4. Information on the Company” and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects,” and include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our intent, belief or current expectations with respect to:

Brazilian wireless industry conditions, size and trends;

characteristics of competing networks’ products and services;

estimated demand forecasts;

growing our subscriber base and especially our postpaid subscribers;

development of additional sources of revenue;

strategy for marketing and operational expansion;

achieving and maintaining customer satisfaction;

development of higher profit margin activities, attaining higher margins, and controlling customer acquisition and other costs; and

capital expenditures forecasts, funding needs and financing resources.

Because forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, our actual results and performance could differ significantly from those anticipated in such statements and the anticipated events or circumstances might not occur. The risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:

an increase in the number of competitors in the telecommunications industry that could affect our market share;

increased competition from global and local Over The Top, or OTT, players (operators such as mobile virtual network operators or branded resellers offering content and services on the Internet without owning their own proprietary telecommunications network infrastructure);

increased competition in our principal markets that could affect the prices we charge for our services;

our ability to strengthen our competitive position in the Brazilian mobile telecommunications market;

Table of Contents

our ability to develop and introduce new and innovative technologies that are received favorably by the market, and to provide value-added services to encourage the use of our network;

system technology failures, which could negatively affect our revenues and reputation;

the introduction of transformative technologies that could be difficult for us to keep pace with and which could cause a significant decrease in our revenues and/or revenues for all mobile telephone carriers;

our ability to operate efficiently and to refinance our debt as it comes due, particularly in consideration of political and economic conditions in Brazil and uncertainties in credit and capital markets;

our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel;

performance of third party service providers and key suppliers on which we depend;

government policy and changes in the regulatory environment in Brazil;

the effect of exchange rate fluctuations;

the effect of inflation;

the outcome of litigation, disputes and investigations in which we are involved or may become involved; and

other factors identified or discussed under “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this annual report.
