    Felipe Cheng's questions to TIM (TIMB) leadership • Q1 2025

    Question

    Felipe Cheng asked about TIMB's schedule for implementing front-book price increases to align with competitors. He also sought to understand the drivers behind the revenue decline in the TIM Live broadband business and whether the company is considering M&A options for it.

    Answer

    CEO Alberto Griselli confirmed that TIMB is committed to market rationality and plans to implement front-book price upgrades in the coming months. For TIM Live, he attributed the performance to a highly competitive market and the drag from its declining copper customer base. He mentioned that while the fiber base is growing again, the business is dilutive to overall margins, so they are moving cautiously and assessing all inorganic options.
