Net Operating Revenue grew 10.6% YoY led by Mobile Service Revenue which increased 13.8% on a yearly comparison, and by Handset Revenue, which in its turn, grew a robust +25.9% YoY due to higher demand for 5G compatible smartphones. Net Revenues in the period were not impacted by the time difference between the disclosure of the new ICMS rates and the reduction of prices on invoices.
Despite Vivo disconnecting 3 million mobile accesses, considered inactive by Vivo's criteria regarding the acquisition of Oi Mobile, Postpaid Revenue and Prepaid Revenue grew, on an annual comparison, +12.0% and +21.5% respectively. These increases were driven by the expansion of the customer base and annual price adjustments in postpaid.
Net Fixed Revenue rose +2.1% YoY due to a higher representativeness of Core Fixed Revenue, which is corresponding to 74.6% (+6.1 p.p.) of Net Fixed Revenue. FTTH Revenue grew +20.1% YoY as our FTTH network reached 71 new cities YoY, now present in 380 Brazilian cities, with 22.3 million homes passed and 5.3 million homes connected.
When not considering Depreciation and Amortization, Recurring Total Costs expanded +9.4% YoY, as Cost of Services reached 1.4 billion with higher revenues from the sale of licenses and services to companies, and with Costs of Products Sold growing +39.7% YoY, given a solid performance in the sale of handsets, accessories and IT equipment.
Recurring EBITDA totaled R$4,957 million (+12.3% YoY) in 3Q22, with a Recurring EBITDA margin of 40.6%.
In 3Q22, we bought back R$ 144 million in shares with the new Share Buyback Program that will last until Feb-23. In the last 12 months, the Company registered 113% in dividend payout, and an 9.2% dividend yield, considering the share buyback program.
