Oi's loss has caused consternation among the company's executives and its shareholders.
In 2022, the company registered a net loss of R$ 17,6 billion in the fourth quarter, a result much lower than expected for the last quarter of the year. These worrying numbers have raised many doubts about the company's future and significantly impacted the stock market.
To understand the reasons for Oi's loss, it is important to analyze each financial indicator individually. The company's routine Ebitda (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) totaled R$ 396 million in the last quarter, which represents a reduction of 75,4% in relation to the same period of the previous year.
This result is mainly due to the decline in revenue from the company's discontinued operations, after the total sale of UPI Ativos Móveis and part of UPI InfraCo. With this, the consolidated net revenue of the Brazilian operations also presented a decrease of 42,1% when compared to the previous year. Compared to the third quarter of 2022, there was a 4,7% drop in net revenue. In the whole year, the decline was 29,5%. Finally, the Ebitda margin also dropped by 19,7 percentage points in the annual comparison.

What are the impacts of Oi's loss?
As is to be expected, the loss of Oi had significant impacts on the stock market, directly affecting the company's shareholders. The drop in financial indicators also poses a threat to the company's future and could harm its relations with investors and creditors.
At the same time, Oi's losses have boosted the market for acquisitions of the company's assets, as the company seeks to dispose of its capital to settle its debts. This can open space for new players in the telecommunications market and offer more choices to consumers.
To avoid losses in companies, it is essential to have good financial management and constantly analyze the company's performance indicators. An efficient controllership and financial planning team can help to avoid problems and identify growth opportunities for the company.
