4Q17/2017 Results | March 27, 2018

 

1) MESSAGE FROM THE CEO

We embarked on yet another important cycle for the CPFL Energia Group in 2017, which was marked by various events and transformations.

After three years of crisis, Brazil’s economic and business environment showed signs of improvement with inflation slowing, interest rates declining and various sectors of the economy staging a recovery. Even so, challenges remain related to the country’s fiscal situation and high unemployment rate.

In the Energy sector, the year was guided by a constructive agenda. In addition to consolidation and expansion moves, innumerous discussions have been held on the proposal to reform the regulatory framework (Public Consultation 33), which, besides correcting imbalances in our industry, modernizes regulations in aspects to which society is sensitive, including incentives for adopting new technologies, new business models, incorporating distributed microgeneration, smart grids, expanding renewable energies and other topics.

Aside from changes in the economy and the energy sector, we are undergoing an important transition at the Company, following the conclusion of the transfer of the CPFL Group's controlling interest to China's State Grid. The world’s largest power company, our new controlling shareholder has profound knowledge of the energy sector, develops and adopts cutting-edge technologies and has a corporate DNA marked by a long-term strategic vision. These traits, coupled with our teams’ efforts and dedication, facilitated the integration of the two cultures, which kept our teams engaged and focused on managing the operations and the investments made over the year.

In 2017, we continued our pursuit of excellence in offering services and new solutions to our customers. We were one of the industry’s companies that most invested in Brazil, with around R$2.6 billion allocated to the Group’s various businesses: we made the Company’s largest investment ever in the Distribution asset base, delivered the Morro Agudo Substation, started up the wind power generation complex Pedra Cheirosa (Ceará state) and built 42 kilometers of transmission lines for Sabesp in the São Lourenço Production System, which assures an extra source of water for the entire São Paulo metropolitan area.

At the same time, we concluded the integration of RGE Sul in the state of Rio Grande do Sul and launched ENVO, a company dedicated to solar power distributed generation systems, and the CPFL Inova project which, through partnerships with startups and scaleups, will help us develop new solutions for our businesses and customers.

No less important were our efforts to promote a culture of Safety, which to us is a nonnegotiable issue. We launched the campaign "Chega de Choque” to raise aware among the public on the risks of improperly coexisting with the power grid to help prevent accidents.

Another highlight was the consolidation of CPFL Institute as our social investment platform, with initiatives structured on five fronts: culture, sports, education, public administration and community development. We executed projects that directly benefitted over 100,000 people, in 96 municipalities.

Despite all these challenges and transformations, we focused intently on the operating performance of our businesses, on managing our assets and investments and on the Group’s financial discipline. We delivered EBITDA growth of 17.9%, to R$4.9 billion, and net income of R$1.2 billion, which represents growth of 41.4% on the prior year. We also succeeded in reducing our debt cost and leverage ratio. This scenario warranted an upgrade in our credit rating to “AAA (bra)” by rating agency Fitch.

We also dedicated special attention to our employees during this period. We launched a process to reformulate our Corporate University, with the goal of developing our more than 12,000 professionals so that they can follow an even more prosperous career at CPFL and play a lead role in this new era, marked by technological revolution and new business and consumption models. Reaping the rewards of the care we dedicated to our people, we obtained excellent results in the survey of organizational climate conducted by Great Place to Work, which attests to our employees’ motivation and sense of pride.

4Q17/2017 Results | March 27, 2018

 

Critical to the management and processes of our business, we improved our Sustainability Platform for the 2018-2022 cycle, which was born already integrated with the principles of the Global Compact and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) of the United Nations. All of this so that we can strengthen our long-term vision and our asset and business portfolio, both connected to the new economy.

These are some of the initiatives and achievements that give us a great sense of pride. I believe that we are now better prepared to continue building our future and playing a lead role in the development of Brazil’s energy sector.

Note: an analysis of the economic-financial performance by business segment is presented in chapter 11.

 

4.2) Reclassification of the Concession Financial Asset

The Company and its electric energy distribution subsidiaries, aiming at the better presentation of their operational and financial performance, concluded that the adjustment of expectation of the cash flow of the indemnable financial asset of the concession of each distributor, originally presented under financial revenue item, in financial result, should be more adequately classified in the operating revenues group, together with other revenues related to its activity. This allocation reflects more accurately the business model of electric energy distribution and provides a better presentation regarding its performance.

Pursuant to CPC 23 / IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Estimates and Error Rectification, the CPFL Energia and its Subsidiaries changed their accounting policy previously adopted by an accounting policy that better reflects the performance of the Company's and its subsidiaries' businesses and, therefore, reclassified retrospectively into their income statements for 2016.

1 In 2015, subsidiary CPFL Geração contracted US$ denominated put and call options, involving the same financial institution as counterpart, and which on a combined basis are characterized as an operation usually known as zero-cost collar. The contracting of this operation does not involve any kind of speculation, inasmuch as it is aimed at minimizing any negative impacts on future revenues of the joint venture ENERCAN, which has electric energy sale agreements with annual restatement of part of the tariff based on the variation in the US$. In addition, according to Management’s view, the scenario was favorable for contracting this type of financial instrument, considering the high volatility implicit in dollar options and the fact that there was no initial cost for same.

11.1.1.1) Reclassification of the Adjustments to the Concession´s Financial Asset

The distribution subsidiaries, aiming at the better presentation of their operational and financial performance, concluded that the adjustment of expectation of the cash flow of the indemnable financial asset of the concession of each distributor, originally presented under financial revenue item, in financial result, should be more adequately classified in the operating revenues group, together with other revenues related to its activity. This allocation reflects more accurately the business model of electric energy distribution and provides a better presentation regarding its performance.

Pursuant to CPC 23 / IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Estimates and Error Rectification, by the end of 2016, the CPFL Energia and its Subsidiaries changed their accounting policy previously adopted by an accounting policy that better reflects the performance of the Company's and its subsidiaries' businesses and, therefore, accounting the adjustments to the concession financial asset in Operating Revenues.

 

11.1.1.2) Sectoral Financial Assets and Liabilities

In 4Q17, total sectoral financial assets accounted for R$ 852 million, a variation of R$ 1,194 million if compared to 4Q16, when sectoral financial liabilities amounted to R$ 342 million. In 2017, total sectoral financial assets accounted for R$ 1,901 million, a variation of R$ 3,996 million if compared to 2016, when sectoral financial liabilities amounted to R$ 2,095 million.

11.1.3) Operating Performance of Distribution

SAIDI and SAIFI

Below we are presenting the results achieved by the distribution companies with regard to the main indicators that measure the quality and reliability of their supply of electric energy. The SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index) measures the average duration, in hours, of interruption per consumer per year. The SAIFI (System Average Interruption Frequency Index) measures the average number of interruptions per consumer per year.

1)     Regulatory Agency (ANEEL) Limit – 2017.

2)     In past releases we published SAIFI of 3.80 and SAIDI of 6.97 for CPFL Piratininga, which statistics excluded the effect of a failure in transmission provided by CTEEP due to a storm.  A decision by ANEEL required us to include the effect of this outage in the statistics for CPFL Piratininga

 

In 2016, CPFL Piratininga and CPFL Mococa were impacted by energy disconnections originated from the Transmission company (External Supply), in a volume higher than the historical, but in recent periods the SAIDI indicator is showing an improving trend of results.

RGE Sul’s and CPFL Sul Paulista’s SAIDIs registered an improvement  in 4Q17 indicators, when compared to 2016 demonstrating the effectiveness of maintenance and improvement works, and also because,in 2017, we have more favorable weather conditions than in 2016, when we were still suffering the effects of what was considered the strongest El Niño of the last 15 years.

The SAIFI indicator was kept below regulatory limits in all companies, reflecting the effectiveness of the maintenance performed and the constant investments in improvements and modernization carried out by CPFL.

Notes:

(1)  The figures above were adequate to a better comparison with the regulatory losses trajectory defined by the Regulatory Agency (ANEEL). In CPFL Piratininga, RGE and RGE Sul, high-voltage customers were disregarded;

(2)  Regulatory targets for losses are defined in the periodic tariff revision (RTP) process. CPFL Paulista, RGE and RGE Sul are on the 3rd PTRC and other distributors are in 4th PTRC.

 

The consolidated losses index of CPFL Energia, already considering RGE Sul in the historical series, was of 9.01% in 4Q17, compared to 9.31% in 4Q16, an increase of 0.30 p.p. Disregarding RGE Sul, the consolidated losses index of CPFL Energia would be of 8.81% in 4Q17, compared to 9.09% in 4Q16, an increase of 0.27 p.p.

2 In 2015, subsidiary CPFL Geração contracted US$ denominated put and call options, involving the same financial institution as counterpart, and which on a combined basis are characterized as an operation usually known as zero-cost collar. The contracting of this operation does not involve any kind of speculation, inasmuch as it is aimed at minimizing any negative impacts on future revenues of the joint venture ENERCAN, which has electric energy sale agreements with annual restatement of part of the tariff based on the variation in the US$. In addition, according to Management’s view, the scenario was favorable for contracting this type of financial instrument, considering the high volatility implicit in dollar options and the fact that there was no initial cost for same.

11.4.1.1) Variations in the Income Statement of CPFL Renováveis

In 4Q17, CPFL registered an EBITDA of R$ 354 million, 31.5% higher than the amount registered in 4Q16.

In 2017, EBITDA was R$1,222 million, 23.0% (R$ 229 million) higher than the amount registered in 2016. The variations in results over the years were mainly influenced by the increase in net revenue as a result of the new capacity coming into operation and by the lower amount of provision and write-off of non-current assets in 2017, which were partially offset by the higher energy generation costs due basically to GSF and portfolio growth.

 

11.4.1.2) Operating Revenue

Gross Operating Revenue reached R$ 563 million in 4Q17, representing an increase of 4.1% (R$ 22 million). Net Operating Revenue reached R$ 543 million in 4Q17, representing an increase of 6.8% (R$ 34 million). This increase is mainly due to the following factors:

     Wind Source:

(i)    Commercial start-up of the Campo dos Ventos, São Benedito and Pedra Cheirosa wind complexes, partially offset by the lower volume of energy generated, mainly in the farms of Ceará;

(ii)   Positive effect of the new energy auction through MCSD, since the free market contract price was higher than the contract price in the regulated market for the eight wind farms that participated in this auction. In addition, the energy surplus of some of these farms was settled at the spot price (PLD);

(iii)  Contracts price readjustments. These items were partially offset by a lower generation on the wind complexes in Ceará (complexes that were operated by Suzlon);

SHPPs Source:

(iv) Due basically to hedge and swap operations settled at the spot price (PLD) at the Holding, with counterpart in energy purchase. These effects were partially offset by the difference of the seasonalization of the physical guarantees of the SHPPs and the higher GSF in Proinfa plants;

4Q17/2017 Results | March 27, 2018

 

Biomass Source:

(v)  Reduction in the revenue from the biomass thermoelectric power plants due mainly to the positive effect on Bio Formosa (generation indemnity at spot price - PLD) in 4Q16, partially offset by the positive effect of the plants seasonalization strategy.

 

Gross Operating Revenue reached R$ 2,067 million in 2017, representing an increase of 16.5% (R$ 293 million). Net Operating Revenue reached R$ 1,959 million in 4Q17, representing an increase of 17.1% (R$ 286 million). This increase is mainly due to the following factors:

     Wind Source:

(i)    Commercial start-up of the Campo dos Ventos, São Benedito and Pedra Cheirosa wind complexes, partially offset by the lower volume of energy generated, mainly in the farms of Ceará;

(ii)   Positive effect of the new energy auction through MCSD, since the free market contract price was higher than the contract price in the regulated market for the eight wind farms that participated in this auction. In addition, the energy surplus of some of these farms was settled at the spot price (PLD);

(iii)  Contracts price readjustments. These items were partially offset by a lower generation on the wind complexes in Ceará (complexes that were operated by Suzlon);

SHPPs Source:

(iv) Higher revenues from the SHPPs due the difference of the seasonalization of the physical guarantee, start-up of Mata Velha SHPP and the contracts price readjustment.

Biomass Source:

(v)  Higher revenue from the biomass thermoelectric power plants due to the strategy of seasonalization of the physical guarantee and price readjustments.

 

 

11.4.1.3) Cost of Electric Power

In 4Q17, Cost of Electric Power was of R$ 129 million, the same amount registered in 4Q16.

In 2017, Cost of Eletric Power was of R$ 348 million, representing an increase of 27.9% (R$ 76 million) in relation to 2016, due to the following factors:

·         Higher GSF in SHPPs;

·         Purchase of energy to meet the exposure in the spot market, hedge and coverage recomposition in 2017.

The reduction in operating costs and expenses é explained mainly due to:

     (i)       Other operating Costs/ Expenses: lower amount provisioned and write-off of non-current assets in 2017 compared to 2016, as shown in the table below. The write-off of project assets is due to investment uncertainty. In addition, there were write-offs of accounts receivable, as a result of a supplier's auto-default decree (Suzlon) and provisions for asset losses.

In 2017, Operating Costs and Expenses reached R$ 1.006 million, representing an increase of 4.7% (R$ 46 million). The main factors that explain this increase are:

     (i)       Personnel: increase due mainly to the higher number of employees and also by the collective bargaining agreement. In addition, 45 former employees from the Suzlon supplier were hired to continue O&M operations of the wind turbines of Ceará’s wind farms;

    (ii)       Material: increase due mainly to the maintenance as a result of O&M services in Ceará’s farms occurred in 4Q17 and the purchase of wood chips for the biomass thermoelectric power plants (baldin, Coopcana and Alvorada);

   (iii)       Depreciation: increase due basically to the start-up of new assets during the last 12 months.

 

11.4.1.5) EBITDA

In 4Q17, EBITDA was of R$ 354 million, compared to R$ 270 million in 4Q16, an increase of 31.5% (R$ 85 million). These results are basically due to the higher net revenue resulting mainly from the start-up of new assets, the energy sales strategy in the MCSD and the lower amount of provisions and write-offs of assets occurred in the period.

In 2017, EBITDA was of R$1.222 million, compared to R$993 million, an increase of 23.0% (R$ 228 million). This result reflects the reversal of the result, from a net loss of R$ 141 million to a net income of R$ 20 million.

In 4Q17, net Financial Result was an expense of R$ 135 million, representing a reduction of 3.6% (R$ 5 million) compared to 4Q16.

In 2017, net Financial Result was an expense of R$ 511 million, representing a reduction of 4.2% (R$ 22 million) compared to 2016.

The main factors that affected the financial result, not only in the quarter but also in the year, were:

     (i)       Fall in the CDI Interbank Rate and TJLP;

    (ii)       The accelerated growth in the Company's assets portfolio is naturally associated with long-term debt, which, as new capacity comes into operation or the acquisitions are consolidated in CPFL Renováveis, increase its financial expenses, affecting its net results. On the other hand, the growth of the portfolio also provides an increase in the generation of operational cash and value for the Companies.

 

11.4.1.7) Net Income

In 4Q17, Net Income was of R$ 40 million, compared to a Net Loss of R$ 24 million in 4Q16, a variation of R$ 65 million.

In 2017, Net Income was of R$ 20 million, compared to a Net Loss of R$ 141 million in 2016, a variation of R$ 161 million.

4Q17/2017 Results | March 27, 2018

 

These results are mainly due to the increase in net revenue and the lower provisions and write-offs of assets in 2017 (in relation to 2016), which were partially offset by higher energy generation costs due basically to GSF and portfolio growth. In addition, there was lower net financial expense – a consequence of the current macroeconomic scenario.

 

11.4.2) Status of Generation Projects – 100% Participation

On the date of this report, the portfolio of projects of CPFL Renováveis (100% participation) totaled 2,103 MW of operating installed capacity and 30 MW of capacity under construction. The operational power plants comprises 39 Small Hydroelectric Power Plants – SHPPs (423 MW), 45 wind farms (1,309 MW), 8 biomass thermoelectric power plants (370 MW) and 1 solar power plant (1 MW).
