Management Report

 

 

Management Report

 

Dear Shareholders,

In compliance with the law and the Bylaws of CPFL Energia S.A. (“CPFL Energia” or “Company”), the Management of the Company hereby submits to you the Management Report and financial statements of the Company, along with the reports of the independent auditor and fiscal council for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. All comparisons herein are made with consolidated figures for fiscal year 2016, except when specified otherwise.

 

 

1.        Opening remarks

 

 

The year 2017 was marked by new prospects and possibilities for the CPFL group, after the conclusion of the acquisition of the controlling interest in the Company by the Chinese State Grid, the largest global player in the electricity sector. Its long-term strategic vision and technological development make a great contribution to CPFL’s next steps. The CPFL group also continued to be very active in this year, promoting improvements in its operations and management, actively participating in the discussions on improving the regulatory framework of the electricity sector and following the unfolding of the political and economic scenarios of Brazil in its markets.

The 2017 results reflected such gains and market conditions in the period. Electricity sales to final consumers (quantity of electricity billed to final consumers) totaled 53,376 GWh, an increase of 14.6%. Disregarding the positive effect of the acquisition of RGE Sul, the increase is of 2.7%. Residential and industrial classes registered growths of 2.6% and 7.1%, respectively, reflecting the low comparison base of 2016 and the resumption of economy activity, while commercial class decreased by 4.5%. Electricity sales to wholesaler’s, through other concessionaires, licensees and authorized reached 16,337 GWh, an increase of 33.3%.

In the financial sphere, CPFL group’s operating cash generation, measured by EBITDA, reached R$ 4,864 million in 2017, an increase of 17.9%, mainly reflecting the contribution from the full consolidation of RGE Sul and improved results from the Conventional Generation, Renewable Generation, Commercialization and Services segments. Consolidated leverage of CPFL Energia, as measured by the ratio of net debt to EBITDA under the criteria to measure our financial covenants, stood at 3.20 at the end of the year, remaining stable in relation to previous year. It is also important to note that the continuous decline in interest rates throughout the year are benefiting the Company, which has around three-fourths of its debt pegged to the CDI interbank rate.

In addition to the corporate movements, the Company presented numerous advances and achievements throughout the year. We promote organizational reviews in order to simplify our processes and structure, aiming at greater focus on business. It is also worth highlighting the creation of Envo, focused on the solar distributed generation market for households, and small commercial clients, the delivery of the Morro Agudo project (transmission), the inauguration of the Pedra Cheirosa wind complex (installed capacity

of 48 MW), the heavy investment in the asset base of CPFL Paulista, RGE and RGE Sul distributors, which will undergo the tariff review process in 2018, the ABRADEE award won by CPFL Santa Cruz as the best domestic distributor in its category and by RGE as the best distributor in the Southern region, the integration of RGE Sul, the launch of "CPFL Inova", an open innovation program created by CPFL in partnership with Endeavor Brasil, among others.

It should also be noted that CPFL promoted the merger of the distribution companies CPFL Santa Cruz, CPFL Leste Paulista, CPFL Sul Paulista and CPFL Mococa (together, the “Merged Companies”) into CPFL Jaguari (“Mergee Company”). The grouping of the concessions of the five companies was carried out through the merger of the assets held by the Merged Companies by the Mergee Company on December 31, 2017.

The disposal of the Company's control was completed on January 23, 2017, when State Grid became the controlling shareholder of CPFL Energia, with a 54.64% stake. As a result of the closing of the transaction that resulted in the direct change of control of CPFL Energia and in accordance with applicable regulation, State Grid performed a tender offer for the remaining outstanding common shares of CPFL Energia on November 30, 2017. According to the Material Fact and the Announcement to the Market released on November 30 and December 5, 2017, respectively, as a result of the auction, State Grid acquired 408,357,085 common shares issued by the Company, representing 88.44% of all the shares subject to the Tender Offer and 40.12% of the capital stock of the Company. The common shares were acquired at the price of R$ 27.69, totaling the amount of R$ 11,307,407,683.65. State Grid holds, jointly with ESC Energia, 964,521,902 common shares issued by the Company, raising its jointly interest from 54.64% to 94.75% of the total share capital of the Company.

We continue working on value initiatives for our shareholders and our investment plan (around R$ 10.4 billion for the next 5 years, being R$ 2.1 billion for 2018), with financial discipline, efforts and commitment of our teams and the trust of our new controlling shareholders, reinforcing CPFL's commitment to its long-term development strategy.

Finally, CPFL’s management remains optimistic about the advances of the Brazilian electricity sector and remains confident in its business platform, being more prepared and well positioned to face the challenges of the country.

2.        Comments on the macroeconomic and regulatory scenario

 

Macroeconomic Scenario

The year 2017 was marked by a favorable external environment, with positive influence for emerging economies, which contributed to improved expectations in our internal environment.  Among the highlights are the healthy performance of the U.S. economy, which registered positive results in key activity indicators, with GDP growth of 2.3%(1) in 2017. Stronger performance came from the Eurozone and China – whose 2017 GDP were  2.5%(2) and 6.9%(2), respectively, support the views that the world economy will continue to grow – had positive impacts on the domestic scenario.   According to the IMF, the global economy should grow 3.8%(2) in 2018-2019.

After two years of recession and a significant worsening of key economic indicators, 2017 marked the start of the resumption of domestic activity.  Driven by strong performance by the automotive, mining and the electronic and IT goods sectors, industrial production grew 2.5%(3) in 2017, surpassing the estimates made at the start of the year.   Other highlights include the reduction of excessive inventories and the gradual improvement in the business environment, which was evident from the rebound in business confidence to pre-crisis levels.  According to market estimates, industrial production should grow 4.0%(3) in 2018, recovering some of the losses accumulated during the recession.

The recovery in industrial activity during 2017 was accompanied by the recovery in the labor market and in domestic consumption.  Despite the contribution from the informal sector, employment rate has though 2017 (increase of 2.1%), accompanied by an increase in real wage, which grew 3.2%(4) in 2017. The easing of prices, better unemployment rate (11.8%(5) in December,2017), nonrecurring factors that stimulate economic activity, such as withdrawals from inactive FGTS accounts, which injected R$44 million in the domestic market, positively contributed to the rebound in consumption conditions, which is a fundamental driver of growth of the Brazilian economy.

The positive shock from food supply is another positive highlight as it ensured a sharp decline in the major price indices.  In 2017, IPCA and IGP-M stood at 2.9%(5) and -0.5%(6), respectively, below the floor of inflation targets.  For 2018, the market projects both indices to remain at the center of the target range, at 3.7% and 4.2%, respectively(5)

In light of the very low inflation, Brazil’s central bank defined a clearly expansionist monetary policy, announcing a series of adjustments to the interest rate during the year.  The benchmark Selic rate ended 2017 at 7.0%7. In February/2018 meeting, Copom approved an additional reduction of Selic Rate to 6.75%.It is worth noting that some financial institutions point to the probability of an additional reduction of 25 bps (6.5% during the course of 2018), as a clear signal from the central bank regarding stimulus to the economy.

Lastly, it is worth highlighting that some structural challenges still remain for the coming years, such as the level of idle capacity across industry, the need for productive investments and the push for reforms to make sure that public accounts remain sustainable.  The elections in 2018 place on standby some of these issues, such as the debate on structural reforms, and also bring some volatility to economic projections.  To sum up, the market is projecting a gradual resumption of growth for the Brazilian economy of 2.9% in 2018(3).

 

REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT

 

The main changes to the sector regulations in 2017 in the distribution segment are outlined below:

 

1)    Update of sub-modules 4.4 and 4.4A of the Tariff Regulation Procedures (PRORET) through Normative Resolution 796 of December 12, 2017, which regulates the financial component, among others, of the estimated hydrological risk in tariff processes (adjustment or review) and the monthly determination of the Centralization Account of Dynamic Pricing Funds (CCRBT), which enables the mitigation of cash mismatch for distributors;

2)    Order 2,705, of August 29, 2017, which determines the recalculation of CVA balance and  transfer of Overcontracted Energy, for the accrual period from January 2012 to December 2014, due to the recalculation of the load made by CCEE, which allows for the compensation of variations in the cost of energy purchase incurred by distributors in this period;

 

3)    Creation of sub-module 2.9 of PRORET through Normative Resolution 791 of November 14, 2017, which regulates and establishes eligibility criteria for requests from distribution concessionaires for Extraordinary Tariff Review, which enables greater predictability, transparency and fairness, on the part of ANEEL, in analyzing any claims from this tariff process;

 

4)    Improvement of the Organization Standard 040/2013-ANEEL through Normative Resolution 798 of December 12, 2017, effective from July 2018, which governs the execution, by ANEEL, of Regulatory Impact Analysis (AIR) and its accompanying AIR Report as a way of promoting greater transparency and enhancing the coherence of regulatory acts issued by the regulatory agency;

 

5)    Creation of sub-module 5.1 through Normative Resolution 800 of December 19, 2017, which establishes CDE procedures for preparing the annual budget, procedures for fixing annual quotas, definition of fund transfers from the sector fund to cover the costs of tax benefits on tariffs applicable to users of electricity distribution and transmission services, economic and financial management of the sector fund, as well as reporting and disclosure of information. These procedures provide greater transparency and predictability to distributors regarding the funds to be paid into or received from the CDE sector fund;

The following distribution companies had tariffs adjusted in April, June and October 2017

 

Generation Segment

Electricity sale contracts of generators contain specific adjustment clauses, whose main index is the average annual variation measured by the IGP-M. Contracts signed in the Regulated Contracting Environment (ACR) are indexed to the IPCA, and bilateral contracts signed by the indirect subsidiary Campos Novos Energia (Enercan) use a combination of dollar and IGP-M indexes.

 

3.        Operating Performance

 

ENERGY SALES

In 2017, electricity sales to final consumers (quantity of electricity billed to final consumers) totaled 53,376 GWh, an increase of 14.6% (6,798 GWh) compared to 2016, a reflect of the acquisition of RGE Sul, in October 2016. Disregarding the effect of this acquisition (in November and December 2016, and in 2017), the increase would be of 2.7% (1,219 GWh).

33


 
 

 

It is noteworthy the performance of the residential and industrial segments, which together accounted 63.3% of the electricity sales to final consumers:

·       Residential Class: increase of 16.1%, if we consider the acquisition of RGE Sul. Disregarding the effect of this acquisition, we would have an increase of 2.6%, reflecting the low comparison base of 2016 and the resumption of economy activity.

·       Commercial Class: increase of 5.2%, if we consider the acquisition of RGE Sul. Disregarding the effect of this acquisition, we would have a reduction of 4.5%, reflecting the lower sales of the distribution companies to the captive market, due to the migration of customers to the free market. This effect was partially offset by the higher sales made by the commercialization companies to free customers.

·       Industrial Class: increase of 12.6%, if we consider the acquisition of RGE Sul. Disregarding the effect of this acquisition, we would have an increase of 7.1%, reflecting the higher sales made by the commercialization companies and by the assets of renewable generation (controlled by CPFL Renováveis) to free customers. This effect was partially offset by the lower sales of the distribution companies to the captive market, due to the migration of customers to the free market.

Electricity sales to wholesaler’s, through other concessionaires, licensees and authorized reached 16,337 GWh, which represented an increase of 33.3% (4.085 GWh), mainy due to the increases in sales by the commercialization companies (through bilateral contracts) and licensees, which serve residential consumers.

 

PERFORMANCE IN THE ELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTION SEGMENT

The Group maintained its strategy of encouraging the dissemination and sharing of best management and operational practices at its distributors in an effort to increase operational efficiency and improve the quality of services provided to clients.

Find below the results posted by distributors in the main indicators that measure quality and reliability of power supply. The Equivalent Duration of Interruptions (SAIDI) measures the average duration, in hours, of interruptions suffered by consumers in the year, while the SAIFI (Equivalent Frequency of Interruptions) measures the average number of interruptions suffered per consumer per year.

Note: considering the merger of the distribution companies considerando, SAIDI would be 6.13 and SAIFI would be 5.04, in 2017.

 

PERFORMANCE IN THE ELECTRICITY GENERATION SEGMENT

In 2017, CPFL Energia continued its expansion in the Generation segment, with a 0.8% increase in its installed capacity, from 3,259 MW to 3,283 MW, considering its 51.60% interest in CPFL Renováveis. This increase was driven by the expansion of CPFL Renováveis.

On December 31, 2017, the portfolio of CPFL Renováveis totaled 2,103 MW of installed capacity in operation, comprising 39 SHPPs (423 MW), 45 wind farms (1,309 MW), 8 biomass-powered thermal power plants (370 MW) and 1 solar plant (1 MW). Still under construction is 1 SHPP (29.9 MW), which startup schedule is in 2020.

Operating cash flow, as measured by EBITDA, reached R$ 4,864 million, an increase of 17.9% (R$ 738 million), mainly due to the increase of 39.9% (R$ 7,633 million) in net operating revenue. This effect was partially offset by the increases of 50.9% (R$ 5,701 million) in costs with energy purchase and sector charges and of 29.1% (R$ 1,194 million) in operating costs and expenses, including expenses with private pension fund and costs with construction of concession infrastructure.

 

Net Income

In 2017, net income reached R$ 1,243 million, an increase of 41.4% (R$ 364 million), mainly due to the increase of 17.9% (R$ 738 million) in EBITDA. This effect was partially offset by the increases of 18.4% (R$ 238 million) in depreciation and amortization, of R$ 102 million in Income Tax and Social Contribution and of 2.3% (R$ 34 million) in net financial expenses.

 

Allocation of Net Income from the Fiscal Year

The Company’s Bylaws require the distribution of at least 25% of net income adjusted according to law, as dividends to its shareholders. The proposal for allocation of net income from the fiscal year is shown below:

Minimum Mandatory Dividend (25%)

The Board of Directors propose the payment of R$ 280 million in dividends to holders of common shares traded on B3 S.A. - Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão (B3). This proposed amount corresponds to R$ 0.275259517 per share, related to the fiscal year of 2017.

Statutory Reserve – Working Capital Reinforcement

For this fiscal year, considering the current macro scenario with an incipient economic recovery, and also considering the uncertainties regarding hydrology, the Company's Management is proposing the allocation of R$ 747 million to the statutory reserve - working capital reinforcement.

 

Debt

At the close of 2017, gross financial debt (including derivatives) of the Company reached R$ 19,615 million, presenting a decrease of 8.2%. Cash and cash equivalents totaled R$ 3,250 million, a decrease of 47.3%. As such, net financial debt increased 7.7% to R$ 16,366 million.

The increase in financial debt was to support the strategic expansion of the Group’s business, such as financing for greenfield projects conducted by CPFL Renováveis. Furthermore, however, CPFL Energia adopts a pre-funding strategy whereby it anticipates funding of debt that matures in 18 to 24 months.

Energy Generation – Foz do Chapecó HEP – Integrated Management System (SGI)

In November 2017, FCE received from the British Standards Institution (BSI), the certifying authority, an upgrade recommendation for the company’s ISO 9001 and 14001 certifications. The recommendation came after an audit conducted between November 6 and 16. In the same audit, the maintenance of the company’s OHSAS 18001 certification was recommended.  Social and Environmental Management: Some of the 2017 highlights, in the social and environmental domain, were:  (i) the release of more than 270,000 fingerlings into the plant reservoir as part of initiatives to repopulate the lake. The environmental license establishes the commitment to release 200,000 fingerlings/year during the period of the Operating License; (ii) the signing of the terms of the agreement with fishermen associations to transfer funds that are being used in the construction of three Fishing Support Points upstream to the plant, in the state of Santa Catarina; (iii) transfer of R$4.5 million through Tax Incentive Laws to sponsor projects that directly serve municipalities affected by the project.  Notable among the projects are the construction of Museu dos Balseiros in Chapecó/SC; the maintenance of social inclusion centers for children and youth in Alpestre/RS, with free soccer and martial arts workshops; the sponsorship of theater tours and circus shows to be performed in 2018 at public schools; the project for the construction of an athletics track at the Community University of Chapecó Region (Unochapecó); support to the Brazilian Association of Cancer Patients for the purchase of electrolarynx devices for patients who lost their ability to speak after this type of neoplasm; as well as projects that value traditional dance and music groups from the region and the staging of operas and other cultural shows, all free of charge, promoting the universalization of culture around the plant. Research & Development: In 2017, FCE invested R$8.0 million in its Research & Development Program, with R$3.2 million allocated to the National Scientific and Technological Development Fund (FNDCT) and R$1.6 million allocated to the Ministry of Mines and Energy.  Another R$3.2 million were directly invested in projects involving universities, research centers and technology companies.  CERAN – throughout 2017 it launched and consolidated its Sustainability and External Social Investments Policy, wherein it sponsored 90 social projects and selected 34 that received investments of R$11.5 million, of which R$1.7 million came from CERAN's project incentive through its own cash and tax incentive laws, and the balance funded by partners and offsets from proponents.  It launched the Ethics and Integrity in Business Conduct Program pursuant to Federal Law 12,846/2013. The Company has a certified Integrated Management System at its headquarters and in its plants (Monte Claro, Castro Alves and 14 de Julho), according to ISO standards 9001:2008, ISO 14001:2004 and OHSAS 18001:2007, which at the end of 2017, after third-party audit, were recommended for recertification; in 2017, the Ceran complex was awarded the Eloy Chaves medal for its indicators and its Workplace Safety Policy; Campos Novos HEP (Enercan) - (i) in 2017, it launched the Ethics and Integrity in Business Conduct Program pursuant to Federal Law 12,846/2013, with the target of implementing a hotline for complaints in 2018;  (ii) the initiatives supported for regional development in the cultural, social and environmental and economic areas received applications from 78 projects, from which 45 were selected and received R$7.9 million in financial aid, and of that amount R$3.5 million came from ENERCAN through tax incentive laws and own cash, while the balance was funded by partnerships and offsets from proponents;  (iii) for the sixth straight year, ENERCAN organized the Conservation Project for Permanent Preservation Areas (PPA) in partnership with residents along the reservoir of the Campos Novos HEP, rewarding the five best initiatives. Currently the program has approximately 45% of the lake’s neighboring residents participating in it. (iv) 2017 was marked by the celebrations of 10 years of commercial operation of the Campos Novos HEP, with the positive results earning the company, for the second time, the title as the best company in Brazil's electricity sector in Valor’s 1000 ranking – the first time was in 2013; (v) in 2017, it published its Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory through FGV’s GHG Protocol platform, earning the silver seal; (vi) it released 22,000 fingerlings of native fish species into Campos Novos HEP’s reservoirs, a program that has an in vivo gene bank of migrating species from the Uruguay River basin, where the fingerlings are nurtured for release; Barra Grande HEP (BAESA) - (i) In 2017, the Social and Environmental Responsibility Program received applications from 39 projects, selecting 21 projects, which received financial aid of R$5.4 million, of which 83.7% were funded by partnerships and offsets and are focused on income generation, environment, culture, sports, public safety and social development; (ii) it held the sixth edition of the Program to Encourage Conservation of the Permanent Preservation Area of the Reservoir, which rewards ten (10) residents from the region who developed the best environmental conservation and preservation practices; (iii) BAESA's transparency and correct declaration of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) earned it the Gold Seal from the GHG Protocol. The Gold Seal is the highest honor conferred by the Program and attests to the transparency of the information provided in BAESA’s 2016 Inventory. In 2017 BAESA also received the renovation of its Carbon Credit Project for another 10 years after an audit and registration with the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS); (iv) published its Sustainability Report in the GRI G4 standard in the essential version through an audit carried out by KPMG; (v) in the environmental area, 2017 marked the end of the three (3) year cycle of the Experimental Program of the release of fingerlings of native species into the reservoir of Barra Grande HEP, with a total of 141,500 fingerlings released into the lake.  The program has an in vivo gene bank of migrating species from the Uruguay River basin from where the fingerlings originate.

Energy distribution - (i) its Advanced Stations are periodically assessed for environmental risks and legal requirements, and a ranking system and action plan for improvements are prepared; (ii) for environmental emergencies, the distributors have agreements with a specialized company and an environmental insurance.  For minor incidents, the Advanced Stations and vehicles equipped with hydraulic devices carry environmental emergency kits for immediate use; (iii) CPFL Paulista, RGE and CPFL Santa Cruz, in partnership with the municipal governments of fifteen cities in their concession areas, expanded the Arborização + Segura Project, which seeks to revitalize urban forestry by replacing trees that pose risks to residents and the power grid with species that require less pruning and coexist better with the grid.

( 2 ) PRESENTATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2.1 Basis of preparation

The individual (Parent Company) and consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards – IFRS,  issued by the International Accounting Standard Board – IASB, and accounting practices adopted in Brazil.

Accounting practices adopted in Brazil encompass those included in Brazilian corporate law and the technical pronouncements, guidelines and interpretations issued by the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (Comitê de Pronunciamentos Contábeis - CPC) and approved by the Brazilian Securities Commission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários – CVM).

The Company and the subsidiaries (“Group”) also follows the guidelines of the Accounting Manual of the Brazilian Electricity Sector and the standards laid down by the Brazilian Electricity Regulatory Agency (Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica – ANEEL), when these do not conflict with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil and/or International Financial Reporting Standards.

Management states that all material information of the financial statements is disclosed and corresponds to what is used in the Group's management.

The financial statements were approved by Management and authorized for issue on March 12, 2018.

 

2.2 Basis of measurement

The financial statements has been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following items recorded in the statements of financial position: i) derivative financial instruments measured at fair value, ii) financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss, and iii) available-for-sale financial assets measured at fair value. The classification of the fair value measurement in the level 1, 2 or 3 categories (depending on the degree of observance of the variables used) is presented in note 33 – Financial Instruments.

 

2.3 Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of the financial statements requires the Group’s management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.

 

By definition, the accounting estimates are rarely the same as the actual results. Accordingly, the Group’s management review the estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis, based on previous experience and other relevant factors. Adjustments resulting from revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and applied on a prospective basis.

 

The main accounts that require the adoption of estimates and assumptions, which are subject to a greater degree of uncertainty and may result in a material adjustment if these estimates and assumptions suffer significant changes in subsequent periods, are:

 

·         Note 6 – Consumers, concessionaires and licensees (Allowance for doubtful accounts: key assumptions regarding recoverable amounts);

·         Note 8 – Sector financial asset and liability (certain financial components that can start without prior methodology);

·         Note 9 – Deferred tax assets and liabilities (recognition of assets: availability of future taxable profit against which the tax losses can be utilized);

·         Note 10 – Concession financial asset (assumptions for fair value measurement, based on significant unobservable inputs);

2.4 Functional currency and presentation currency

The Group’s functional currency is the Brazilian Real, and the individual and consolidated financial statements is being presented in thousands of reais. Figures are rounded only after sum-up of the amounts. Consequently, when summed up, the amounts stated in thousands of reais may not tally with the rounded totals.

 

2.5 Segment information

An operating segment is a component of the Company (i) that engages in operating activities from which it earns revenues and incurs expenses, (ii) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by Management to make decisions about resources to be allocated and assess the segment's performance, and (iii) for which individual financial information is available.

The Group’s officers use reports to make strategic decisions, segmenting the business into: (i) electric energy distribution activities (“Distribution”); (ii) electric energy generation from conventional sources activities (“Generation”); (iii) electric energy generation activities from renewable sources (“Renewables”); (iv) energy commercialization activities (“Commercialization”); (v) service activities (“Services”); and (vi) other activities not listed in the previous items.

The presentation of the operating segments includes items directly attributable to them, as well as any allocations required, including intangible assets, see note 29 for further details.

2.6 Information on equity interests

The Company's equity interests in direct and indirect subsidiaries and joint ventures are described in note 1. Except for (i) the companies ENERCAN, BAESA, Chapecoense and EPASA, which use the equity method of accounting, and (ii) the investment measured at cost by the subsidiary Paulista Lajeado in Investco S.A., all other entities are fully consolidated.

 

At December 31, 2017 and 2016 the noncontrolling interests in the consolidated balances refer to interests held by third parties in subsidiaries CERAN, Paulista Lajeado and CPFL Renováveis.

2.7 Statement of value added

The Company has prepared the individual and consolidated statements of value added (“DVA”) in conformity with technical pronouncement CPC 09 - Statement of Value Added, which are presented as an integral part of the financial statements in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil and as supplementary information to the financial statements in accordance with IFRS, as this statement is neither provided for nor required by IFRS.

( 3 )  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies used in preparing the Company’s individual and consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all periods presented.

 

3.1  Cash and cash equivalents

In the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include negative balances of overdraft accounts that are immediately payable and are an integral part of the Group’s cash management.

Cash and cash equivalents comprise the balances of cash and financial investments with original maturities of three months or less from the contract date, which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value and are used by the Company in the management of short-term obligations.

 

3.2   Concession agreements

ICPC 01 (R1) and IFRIC 12 – Service Concession Arrangements establish general guidelines for the recognition and measurement of obligations and rights related to concession agreements and apply to situations in which the granting authority controls or regulates which services the concessionaire should provide with the infrastructure, to whom the services should be provided and at what price, and controls any significant residual interest in the infrastructure at the end of the concession period.

When these definitions are met, the infrastructure of distribution concessionaires is segregated at the time of construction in accordance with the CPC and IFRS requirements, so that the following are recognized in the financial statements (i) an intangible asset corresponding to the right to operate the concession and collect from the users of public utilities, and (ii) a financial asset corresponding to the unconditional contractual right to receive cash (indemnity) by transferring control of the assets at the end of the concession.

The concession financial asset of distribution is measured based on its fair value, determined in accordance with the remuneration base for the concession assets, pursuant to the legislation in force established by the regulatory authority (ANEEL), and takes into consideration changes in the estimated cash flow, mainly based on factors such as new replacement price, and adjustment for IPCA (Extended Consumer Price Index) to the subsidiaries of the distribution segment. The financial asset of distribution is classified as available-for-sale, with the corresponding cash flow changes entry in an operating income/expense account in the statement of profit or loss for the year (notes 4 and 25).

The financial asset of the transmission companies is classified as loans and receivables, initially measured at its fair value and subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

The remaining amount is recognized as intangible asset and relates to the right to charge consumers for electric energy distribution services, and is amortized in accordance with the consumption pattern that reflects the estimated economic benefit to the end of the concession.

Services related to the construction of infrastructure are recognized in accordance with CPC 17 (R1) and IAS 11 – Construction Contracts, against a financial asset corresponding to the amount subject to right to receive cash (indemnity). Residual amounts classified as intangible assets are amortized over the concession period in proportion to a curve that reflects the consumption pattern in relation to the economic benefits.

Considering that (i) the tariff model that does not provide for a profit margin for the infrastructure construction services, (ii) the way in which the subsidiaries manage the constructions by using a high level of outsourcing, and (iii) the fact that there is no provision for profit margin on construction in the Company‘s business plans, Management is of the opinion that the margins on this operation are irrelevant, and therefore no mark-up to the cost is considered in revenue. The construction revenues and costs are therefore presented in the statement of profit or loss for the year in the same amounts.

 

3.3  Financial instruments

- Financial assets

Financial assets are recognized initially on the date that they are originated or on the trade date at which the Company or its subsidiaries become parties to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Derecognition of a financial asset occurs when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or when the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. The Group holds the following main financial assets:

 

57


 
 

(Free Translation of the original in Portuguese)

Standard Financial Statements –DFP –  Date: December 31, 2017 - CPFL Energia S.A.

 

(i)             Fair value through profit or loss: these are assets held for trading or designated as such upon initial recognition. The Group manages such assets and make purchase and sale decisions based on their fair value in accordance with their documented risk management and investment strategy. These financial assets are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognized in profit or loss for the year.

(ii)            Held-to-maturity: these are assets that the Group have the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. Held-to-maturity financial assets are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.

(iii)           Loans and receivables: these are assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.

(iv)          Available-for-sale: these are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale or that are not classified into any of the previous categories. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest calculated using the effective interest method is recognized in the statement of profit or loss as part of the operating revenue for changes in the expectation of cash flow for the concession financial assets from the distribution subsidiaries, while changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income. The accumulated result in other comprehensive income is transferred to profit or loss when the asset is realized.

 

-       Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are initially recognized on the date that they are originated or on the trade date at which the Company or its subsidiaries become a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Group have the following main financial liabilities:

(i)             Measured at fair value through profit or loss: these are financial liabilities that are: (i) held for short-term trading, (ii) designated at fair value in order to match the effects of recognition of income and expenses to obtain more relevant and consistent accounting information, or (iii) derivatives. These liabilities are measured at fair value and any changes in fair value are subsequently recognized in profit or loss.

(ii)            Other financial liabilities (not measured at fair value through profit or loss): these are other financial liabilities not classified into the previous category. They are measured initially at fair value net of any cost attributable to the transaction and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

 

The Company recognizes financial guarantees when these are granted to non-controlled entities or when the financial guarantee is granted at a percentage higher than the Company's interest to cover commitments of joint ventures. Such guarantees are initially measured at fair value, by recognizing (i) a liability corresponding to the risk of non-payment of the debt, which is amortized against finance income simultaneously and in proportion to amortization of the debt, and (ii) an asset equivalent to the right to compensation by the guaranteed party or a prepaid expense under the guarantees, which is amortized by receipt of cash from other shareholders or at the effective interest rate over the term of the guarantee. After initial recognition, guarantees are measured periodically at the higher of the amount determined in accordance with CPC 25 and IAS 37 and the amount initially recognized less accumulated amortization.

 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and presented at their net amount when there is a legal right to offset the amounts and the intent to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

The classifications of financial instruments (assets and liabilities) are described in Note 33.

 

- Issued Capital

Common shares are classified as equity. Additional costs directly attributable to share issues and share options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

3.4  Property, plant and equipment

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at acquisition, construction or formation cost less accumulated depreciation and, if applicable, accumulated impairment losses. Cost also includes any other costs attributable to bringing the assets to the place and in a condition to operate as intended by Management, the cost of dismantling the items and restoring the site on which they are located and capitalized borrowing costs on qualifying assets.

The replacement cost of items of property, plant and equipment is recognized if it is probable that it will involve economic benefits for the subsidiaries and if the cost can be reliably measured, and the value of the replaced item is written off. Maintenance costs are recognized in profit or loss as they are incurred.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis, at annual rates of 2% to 20%, taking into consideration the estimated useful life of the assets, as instructed and defined by the Granting Authority.

Gains and losses on disposal/write-off of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of the asset, and are recognized net within other operating income/expenses.

Assets and facilities used in the regulated activities are tied to these services and may not be removed, disposed of, assigned or pledged in mortgage without the prior and express authorization of the ANEEL. The ANEEL, through Resolution No. 20 of February 3, 1999, amended by Normative Resolution No. 691 of December 8, 2015, releases Public Electric Energy Utility concessionaires from prior authorization for release of assets of no use to the concession, but determines that the proceeds from the disposal be deposited in a restricted bank account for use in the concession.

 

3.5  Intangible assets

Includes rights related to non-physical assets such as goodwill and concession exploitation rights, software and rights-of-way.

Goodwill that arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries is measured based on the difference between the fair value of the consideration transferred for acquisition of a business and the net fair value of the assets, adding the portion of noncontrolling interests and liabilities of the subsidiary acquired.

Goodwill is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, if any, are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment.

Negative goodwill is recognized as a gain in the statement of profit or loss in the year of the business acquisition.

In the individual financial statements, fair value adjustments (value added) of net assets acquired in business combinations are included in the carrying amount of the investment and the amortization is classified in the individual statement of income as “equity interest in associates and joint ventures” in accordance with ICPC 09 (R2). In the consolidated financial statements, the amount is stated as intangible asset and its amortization is classified in the consolidated statement of profit and loss as “amortization of concession intangible asset” in other operating expense.

Intangible assets corresponding to the right to operate concessions may have three origins, as follows:

(i)             Acquisitions through business combinations: the portion arising from business combinations that corresponds to the right to operate the concession is amortized in straight-line method.

(ii)            Investments in infrastructure (application of ICPC01 (R1) and IFRIC 12 – Service Concession Arrangements): under the electric energy distribution concession agreements with the subsidiaries, the recognized intangible asset corresponds to the concessionaires' right to charge the consumers for use of the concession infrastructure. Since the exploration term is defined in the agreement, intangible assets with defined useful lives are amortized over the concession period in proportion to a curve that reflects the consumption pattern in relation to the expected economic benefits. For further information, see note 3.2.

Items comprised in the infrastructure are directly tied to the Company’s electric energy distribution operation and cannot be removed, disposed of, assigned or pledged in mortgage without the prior and express authorization of the ANEEL. The ANEEL, through Resolution No. 20 of February 3, 1999, amended by Normative Resolution No. 691 of December 8, 2015, releases Public Electric Energy Utility concessionaires from prior authorization for release of assets of no use to the concession, but determines that the proceeds from the disposal be deposited in a restricted bank account for use in the concession.

(iii)           Use of public asset: certain generation concessions were granted with the condition of payments to the federal government for use of public asset. On the signing date of the respective agreements, the Company’s subsidiaries recognized intangible assets and the corresponding liabilities, at present value. The intangible assets, capitalized by interest incurred on the obligation until the start-up date, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining period of each concession. 

 

3.6  Impairment

- Financial assets

A financial asset not measured at fair value through profit or loss is reassessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence that it is impaired. Impairment can occur after the initial recognition of the asset and have a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows.

The Group consider evidence of impairment of receivables and held-to-maturity securities for both specific asset and at a collective level for all significant securities. Receivables and held-to-maturity securities that are not individually significant are collectively assessed for impairment by grouping together the securities with similar risk characteristics.

In assessing collective impairment the Company uses historical trends of the probability of default, timing of recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, adjusted for Management's judgment as to whether the assumptions and current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be higher or lower than suggested by historical trends.

An impairment loss of a financial asset is recognized as follows:

(i)             Amortized cost: as the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. Losses are recognized in profit or loss and shown in an allowance account against receivables. When a subsequent event indicates that the amount of impairment loss has decreased, this reduction is reversed as a credit through profit or loss.

(ii)            Available-for-sale: as the difference between the acquisition cost, net of any reimbursement and principal repayment and the current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognized in profit or loss.

In the case of financial assets carried at amortized cost and/or debt instruments classified as available-for-sale, if an increase (gain) is identified in subsequent periods, the impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. However, any subsequent recovery in the fair value of an impaired equity instrument classified as available-for-sale is recognized in other comprehensive income.

 

- Non-financial assets

Non-financial assets that have indefinite useful lives, such as goodwill, are tested annually for impairment to assess whether the asset's carrying amount does not exceed its recoverable amount. Other assets subject to amortization are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired.

An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated recoverable amount, which is the greater of (i) its fair value less costs to sell or (ii) its value in use.

The assets (e.g. goodwill, concession intangible asset) are segregated and grouped together at the lowest level that generates identifiable cash inflows (the "cash generating unit", or CGU). If there is an indication of impairment, the loss is recognized in profit or loss. Except in the case of goodwill impairment, which cannot be reversed in the subsequent period, impairment losses are reassessed annually for any possibility of reversals.

3.7  Provisions

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, there is a legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable (more likely than not)  that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. When applicable, provisions are determined by discounting the expected

 

60

Standard Financial Statements –DFP –  Date: December 31, 2017 - CPFL Energia S.A.

 

future cash outflows at a rate that reflects current market assessment and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognized as finance cost

 

3.8  Employee benefits

Certain subsidiaries have post-employment benefits and pension plans, recognized under the accrual method in accordance with CPC 33 (R1) / IAS 19 (as revised 2011) “Employee benefits”, and are regarded as Sponsors of these plans. Although the plans have particularities, they have the following characteristics:

(i)             Defined contribution plan: a post-employment benefit plan under which the Sponsor pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no liability for the actuarial deficits of the plan. The obligations are recognized as an expense in the statement of profit or loss in the periods during which the services are rendered.

(ii)            Defined benefit plan: The net obligation is calculated as the difference between the present value of the actuarial obligation based on assumptions, biometric studies and interest rates in line with market rates, and the fair value of the plan assets as of the reporting date. The actuarial liability is calculated annually by independent actuaries, under the responsibility of Management, using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income when they occur. Net interest (income or expense) is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net amount of the defined benefit asset or liability. When applicable, the cost of past services is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

If the plan records a surplus and it becomes necessary to recognize an asset, the recognition is limited to the present value of future economic benefits available in the form of reimbursements or future reductions in contributions to the plan.

 

3.9  Dividend and Interest on capital

Under Brazilian law, the Company is required to distribute a mandatory minimum annual dividend of 25% of profit adjusted in accordance with the Company´s bylaws. In conformity with Brazilian and international accounting standards, CPC 24, IAS 10 and ICPC 08 (R1) a provision may only be made for the minimum mandatory dividend, and dividends declared but not yet approved are only recognized as a liability in the financial statements after approval by the competent body. According to Law 6.404/76, the amounts paid out to shareholders in excess of the mandatory minimum dividend, will therefore be held in equity, in the “additional dividend proposed” account, as they do not meet the present obligation criteria at the reporting date.

As established in the Company's bylaws and in accordance with current Corporate law, the Board of Directors is responsible for declaring an interim dividend and interest on capital determined in a half-yearly statement of income. An interim dividend and interest on capital declared at the base date of June 30, if any, is only recognized as a liability in the Company's financial statement after the date of the Board of Directors’ decision.

Interest on capital receives the same treatment as dividend and is also stated in changes in equity. The withholding income tax on interest on capital is always recognized as a charge to equity with a balancing item in liabilities upon the proposal for its payment, even if not yet approved, since it meets the criterion of obligation at the time of Management’s proposal.

3.10        Revenue recognition

The operating revenue in the normal course of the subsidiaries’ activities is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. The operating revenue is recognized when there is convincing evidence that all significant risks and rewards were transferred to the buyer, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity, the associated costs can be reliably measured, and the amount of the operating revenue can be reliably measured.

The revenue from electric energy distribution is recognized when the energy is supplied. The energy distribution subsidiaries perform the reading of their customers based on a reading routine (calendar and reading route) and invoice monthly the consumption of MWh based on the reading performed for each consumer. As a result, part of the energy distributed during the month is not billed at the end of the month and, consequently, an estimate is developed by Management and recorded as “Unbilled”. This unbilled revenue estimate is calculated using as a base the total volume of energy of each distributor made available in the month and the annualized rate of technical and commercial losses. The revenue from energy generation sales is recognized based on the assured energy and at tariffs specified in the terms of the supply contracts or the current market price, as appropriate. The revenue from energy commercialization is recognized based on bilateral contracts with market agents and properly registered with the Electric Energy Commercialization Chamber – CCEE. No single consumer accounts for 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue.

The revenue from services provided is recognized when the service is provided, under a service agreement between the parties.

The revenue from construction contracts is recognized based on the percentage of completion method, and losses, if any, are recognized the statement of profit or loss as incurred.

 

3.11        Income tax and social contribution

Income tax and social contribution expenses are calculated and recognized in accordance with the legislation in force and comprise current and deferred taxes. Income tax and social contribution are recognized in the statement of profit or loss except to the extent that they relate to items recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, when the net amounts of these tax effects are already recognized, and those arising from the initial recognition in business combinations.

Current taxes are the expected taxes payable or receivable/recoverable on the taxable profit or loss. Deferred taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for accounting purposes and the equivalent amounts used for tax purposes and for tax loss carryforwards. 

The Company and certain subsidiaries recognize in their financial statements the effects of tax loss carryforwards and temporarily nondeductible differences, based on projections of future taxable profits, approved annually by the Boards of Directors and examined by the Fiscal Council. The subsidiaries also recognized tax credits relating to the benefit of merged intangible, which are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining period of each concession agreement.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity.

Deferred income tax and social contribution assets are reviewed at each annual reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related taxes benefit will be realized.

 

3.12        Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit or loss for the year attributable to the controlling shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit or loss for the year attributable to the controlling shareholders, adjusted by the effects of instruments that potentially would have impacted the profit or loss for the year by the weighted average of the number of shares outstanding, adjusted by the effects of all dilutive potential convertible notes for the reporting periods, in accordance with CPC 41 / IAS 33.

 

3.13        Government grants – CDE

Government grants are only recognized when it is reasonably certain that these amounts will be received by the Group. They are recognized in profit or loss for the periods in which the Company recognizes as income the discounts granted in relation to the low-income subsidy and other tariff discounts.

The subsidies received through funds from the Energy Development Account - CDE (notes 25) have the main purpose of offsetting discounts granted and expenses already incurred in order to provide immediate financial support to the distribution companies, in accordance with CPC 07 / IAS 20.

 

3.14        Sector financial asset and liability

According to the tariff pricing mechanism applicable to the distribution companies, the energy tariffs should be set at a price level (price cap) that ensures the economic and financial equilibrium of the concession. Therefore, the concessionaires and licensees are authorized to charge from their consumers (after review and ratification by ANEEL) for: (i) the annual tariff increase; and (ii) every four or five years, according to each concession agreement, the periodic review for purposes of reconciliation of part of Parcel B (controllable costs) and adjustment of Parcel A (non-controllable costs).

The distributors' revenue is mainly comprised of the sale of electric energy and for the delivery (transmission) of the electric energy via the distribution infrastructure (network). The distribution concessionaires' revenue is affected by the volume of energy delivered and the tariff. The electric energy tariff is comprised of two parcels which reflect a breakdown of the revenue:

·         Parcel A (non-controllable costs): this parcel should be neutral in relation to the entity's performance, i.e., the costs incurred by the distributors, classifiable as Parcel A, is fully passed through the consumer or borne by the Granting Authority; and

·         Parcel B (controllable costs): comprised of capital expenditure on investments in infrastructure, operational costs and maintenance and remuneration to the providers of capital. It is this parcel that actually affects the entity's performance, since it has no guarantee of tariff neutrality and thus involves an intrinsic business risk.

 

This tariff pricing mechanism can cause temporal differences arising from the difference between the budgeted costs (Parcel A and other financial components) included in the tariff at the beginning of the tariff period and those actually incurred while it is in effect. This difference constitutes a right of the concessionaire to receive cash when the budgeted costs included in the tariff are lower than those actually incurred, or an obligation to pay if the budgeted costs are higher than those actually incurred.

3.15        Business combination

Business combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, calculated as the sum of the fair values of the assets transferred by the acquirer, the liabilities incurred at the acquisition date to the former owner of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Company and subsidiaries in exchange for control of the acquiree. Costs related to the acquisition are generally recognized in profit or loss, when incurred.

At the acquisition date, other liabilities are recognized at fair value, except for: (i) deferred taxes, (ii) employee benefits, and (iii) equity instruments.

The noncontrolling interests are initially measured either at fair value or at the noncontrolling interests’ proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The measurement method is chosen on a transaction-by-transaction basis.

The excess of the consideration transferred, added to the portion of noncontrolling interests, over the fair value of the identifiable assets (including the concession intangible asset) and net liabilities assumed at the acquisition date are recognized as goodwill. In the event that the fair value of the identifiable assets and net liabilities assumed exceeds the consideration transferred, a bargain purchase is identified and the gain is recognized in the statement of profit or loss at the acquisition date.

 

3.16        Basis of consolidation

(i) Business combinations

The Company measures goodwill as the fair value of the consideration transferred including the recognized amount of any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, less the recognized fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, all measured at the acquisition date.

 

(ii) Subsidiaries and joint ventures

The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method of accounting from the moment joint control is established.

The accounting policies of subsidiaries and joint ventures taken into consideration for purposes of consolidation and/or equity method of accounting, as applicable, are aligned with the Company's accounting policies.

Standard Financial Statements –DFP –  Date: December 31, 2017 - CPFL Energia S.A.

 

In the individual (parent company) financial statements, the financial information on subsidiaries and joint ventures is accounted for under the equity method. In the consolidated financial statements, the information on joint ventures is accounted for under the equity method.

The consolidated financial statements include the balances and transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries. The balances and transactions of assets, liabilities, income and expenses have been fully consolidated for the subsidiaries. Prior to consolidation into the Company's financial statements, the financial statements of subsidiaries CPFL Geração, CPFL Brasil, CPFL Jaguari Geração, CPFL Eficiência Energética and CPFL Renováveis are fully consolidated into those of their subsidiaries.

Intragroup balances and transactions, and any income and expenses derived from these transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.  Unrealized gains arising from transactions with equity accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the CPFL Energia interest in the investee. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

In the case of subsidiaries, the portion related to noncontrolling interests is stated in equity and in the statements of profit or loss and comprehensive income in each period presented. 

The balances of joint ventures, as well as the Company’s interest in each of them are described in note 12.4.

 

(iii) Acquisition of noncontrolling interests

Accounted for as transaction among shareholders. Consequently, no gain or goodwill is recognized as a result of such transaction.

3.17        New standards and interpretations

A number of standards and interpretations have been issued and/or revised by the IASB and the CPC and are effective for accounting periods beginning January 1, 2017.

a)   Amendments to IAS 12 / CPC 32 – Recognition of deferred tax assets for unrealized losses

Issued on January 19, 2016, the amendments to IAS 12 / CPC 32 clarify the requirements of recognition of deferred tax assets for unrealized losses on debt instruments and the method to assess whether taxable profits will be available against which the entity can utilize a deductible temporary difference, to address the diversity in practice.

The application of the amendments to IAS 12 / CPC 32 did not have material impacts on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.

b)   Amendments to IAS 7 / CPC 03 (R2) – Statement of Cash Flows

Issued on January 29, 2016, the amendments to IAS 7 Disclosure Initiative require an entity to provide disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities.

The application of the amendments to IAS 7 / CPC 03 (R2) resulted in changes in the disclosure of the movement of financial assets and liabilities the cash flows of which are classified as financing activity. The changes of these amendments to IAS 7 generated additional disclosure reflected in notes 17 – Borrowings, 18 – Debentures and 33 – Financial Instruments.

c)   Annual Improvements to IFRS / 2014 – 2016 Cycle

Annually, the IASB discusses and decides on the proposed improvements to IFRS, as they are raised during the year. On December 8, 2016, the amendments relating to the 2014-2016 Cycle were issued, one of which is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017.

Amendments to IFRS 12 – Disclosure of interests in other entities: clarifies the scope of the standard regarding the interest of entities in other entities that are classified as held for sale or discontinued operations in accordance with IFRS 5. 

Considering that the Company does not have interest in other entities that are classified as held for sale or discontinued operations, these amendments did not have effects on the disclosures and amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.

3.18        New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

Standard Financial Statements –DFP –  Date: December 31, 2017 - CPFL Energia S.A.

 

A number of new standards and amendments to IFRS standards and interpretations have been issued by the IASB but are not yet effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 31, 2017. The Company has not adopted the following new or revised standards:

a)     IFRS 9 / CPC 48 – Financial instruments

IFRS 9 / CPC 48 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

This standard establishes new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. Financial assets will be classified into three categories: (i) measured at fair value through profit or loss; (ii) measured at amortized cost based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics; and (iii) measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

For financial liabilities, the main change relates to the requirements already established by IAS 39/ CPC 38 that changes in the fair value of a financial liability designated as at fair value through profit or loss attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability be presented in other comprehensive income and not in the statement of profit or loss, unless such recognition results in an accounting mismatch in the statement of profit or loss.

Regarding the impairment of financial assets, IFRS 9 requires the expected credit loss model, as opposed to the incurred credit loss model mentioned in IAS 39 / CPC 38. The expected credit loss model requires that the company accounts for expected credit losses and changes in those expected credit losses at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition. That is, it is no longer necessary for a credit event to have occurred before credit losses are recognized.

With respect to the changes relating to hedge accounting, IFRS 9 retains the three types of hedge accounting mechanisms in IAS 39, but brings greater flexibility regarding the types of instruments eligible for hedge accounting, specifically broadening the types of instruments that qualify as hedging instruments and the types of risk components of non-financial items that are eligible for hedge accounting. In addition, the effectiveness test has been renewed and replaced with the principle of an “economic relationship”. Also, the retrospective assessment of hedge effectiveness is no longer required and additional disclosure requirements relating to an entity’s risk management activities have been introduced.

The Company’s distribution subsidiaries have material assets classified as “available for sale”, according to the current requirements of IAS 39 / CPC 38. These assets represent the right to indemnity at the end of the concession period of the distribution subsidiaries. The designation of these instruments as available for sale occurs due to non-classification into the other three categories described in IAS 39 / CPC 38 (loans and receivables, fair value through profit or loss and held to maturity). Management believes that these assets will be classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss according to the new standard and the effects of the subsequent measurement of these assets would be recognized in profit or loss, with no material impacts on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The transmission subsidiaries have assets classified as “loans and receivables”, in accordance with the current requirements of IAS 39 / CPC 38. These assets have two components: the right to receive the “Allowed Annual Revenue - RAP” to be received over the concession period and the indemnity at the end of the concession. These instruments are designated as loans and receivables because they are non-derivative financial assets, with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Management’s opinion is that the asset arising from the receipt of RAP will be classified and measured at amortized cost with the new standard, not causing impacts on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Regarding the indemnity receivable at the end of the concession, this will correspond to the portion of assets not depreciated over the concession at their new replacement value. Considering that the calculation of the amount to be received will not change during the concession, Management analyzes the possibility of measuring and classifying this portion of the financial asset as at fair value through profit or loss. Currently, Management’s opinion is that the effects of this possible change would be immaterial.

Moreover, as the Group does not apply hedge accounting, Management concluded that there will be no material impact on the information disclosed or amounts recognized in its consolidated financial statements as a result of the amendments to the standard about this topic.

As regards the changes in the calculation of impairment of financial assets, the Company estimates that the impact on the equity for January 1st 2018 will be a decrease in line item “Consumers, concessionaires and licensees” by R$ 70 and R$ 80 million.

Standard Financial Statements –DFP –  Date: December 31, 2017 - CPFL Energia S.A.

 

Considering that the Group holds certain financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss, Management believes that there will be impacts on its consolidated financial statements since the changes in credit risk currently recognized directly in profit or loss will be recognized in other comprehensive income. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the changes in credit risk recognized in profit or loss represented an expense of R$ 92,138.

 

b)    IFRS 15 / CPC 47 and Clarifications to IFRS 15 – Revenue from contracts with customers

IFRS 15 / CPC 47 establishes a simple model for entities to use in accounting for revenue from contracts with customers and will supersede the current guidance on revenue recognition in IAS 18/CPC 30 (R1) - Revenue, IAS 11/CPC 17 (R1) – Construction Contracts and related interpretations.

This standard establishes that an entity shall recognize revenue to depict the transfer (or promise) of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard introduces a 5-step approach to revenue recognition: (i) identify the contract with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue if and when the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

According to the new requirements in IFRS 15, the entity recognizes revenue only when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied, that is, when the “control” over the goods or services of a certain operation is transferred to the customer. In addition, this standard will establish further details in the disclosures related to contracts with customers.

IFRS 15 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. Contracts that begin and end in the same period of comparative presentation, as well as contracts that are completed at the beginning of the oldest period presented will not be restated. The Company analyzed the 5-step approach to the various types of the Group’ revenue and has not identified any material impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. Therefore, after the appropriate analyses, the conclusion is that the current revenue recognition is in accordance with CPC 47/IFRS 15.

 

c)     IFRS 16 / CPC 06 (R2) - Leases

Issued on January 13, 2016, establishes, in the lessee’s view, a new way to account for leases currently classified as operating leases, which will be accounted for similarly as finance leases. With regard to lessors, it virtually retains the requirements of IAS 17 / CPC 06 (R1), including only some additional disclosure aspects.

IFRS 16 / CPC 06 (R2) will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. The Company is assessing the standard and its adoption and preliminarily believes that the main impact will be the recording of lease of properties (under the lessee’s view), but no material impacts from the adoption of this standard are expected.

 

d)    IFRIC 22 – Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration

Issued on December 8, 2016, IFRIC 22 addresses the exchange rate to be used in transactions that involve the consideration paid or received in advance in foreign currency transactions, IFRIC will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

The Group’s foreign currency transactions are currently restricted to debt instruments with international financial institutions, measured at fair value, and to the purchase of electricity from Itaipu. As assets and liabilities measured at fair value are outside the scope of IFRIC and there are no advance payments on operations with Itaipu, Groups’ Management believes that IFRIC 22 will not have material impacts on its consolidated financial statements.

e)     Annual Improvements to IFRS / 2014 – 2016 Cycle

Annually, the IASB discusses and decides on the proposed improvements to IFRS, as they are raised during the year. On December 8, 2016, new amendments were issued relating to the 2014-2016 cycle, effective as of January 1, 2018.

Amendments to IFRS 1 – First-time adoption of IFRS: excludes from the standard some exceptions existing for application in the transition period of entities that are first-time adopters of IFRS.  

As the Company is not a first-time adopter of IFRS, Management believes that the application of these amendments will not have effect on the disclosures and amounts recognized in its consolidated financial statements. Based on a preliminary assessment, Management believes that the application of these amendments will not have a material impact on the disclosures and amounts recognized in its consolidated financial statements.

 

( 4 ) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the fair value measurement, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and / or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, additional information on the assumptions made in the fair value measurement is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.

Accordingly, the Group measures fair value in accordance with IFRS 13 / CPC 46, which defines the fair value as the price estimate for which an unforced transaction for the sale of the asset or transfer of the liability would occur between market participants under current market conditions at the measurement date.

 

- Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets

The fair value of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets recognized as a result of a business combination is based on market values. The fair value of these assets is the estimated value for which an asset could be exchanged on the valuation date between knowledgeable interested parties in an unforced transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value of items of property, plant and equipment is based on the market approach and cost approaches using quoted market prices for similar items when available and replacement cost when appropriate.

 

- Financial instruments

Financial instruments measured at fair value are valued based on quoted prices in an active market, or, if such prices are not available, they are assessed using pricing models, applied individually to each transaction, taking into consideration future payment flows, based on the contractual conditions, discounted to present value at rates obtained from market interest curves, having as a basis, whenever available, information obtained from the websites of B3 S.A. - Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão (“B3”) and “Associação Brasileira das Entidades dos Mercados Financeiro e de Capitais – ANBIMA” (note 33) and also includes the debtor's credit risk rate. The assumptions for fair value calculation are described in note 33.

Financial assets classified as available-for-sale refer to the right to compensation, to be paid by the Federal Government when the distribution concessionaires’ assets are handed over at the end of the concession period. The methodology adopted for fair value measurement of these assets is based on the tariff review process for distributors. This process, conducted every four or five years according to each concessionaire, involves assessing the replacement price of the distribution infrastructure, in accordance with criteria established by the granting authority (“ANEEL”). This valuation basis is used for pricing the tariff, which is adjusted annually up to the next tariff review, based on the parameter of the main inflation indices.

Accordingly, at the time of the tariff review, each distribution concessionaire adjusts the position of the financial asset base for compensation at the amounts ratified by the granting authority and uses the Extended Consumer Price Index (“IPCA”) as the best estimate to adjust the original base to the adjusted value at subsequent dates, in accordance with the tariff review process.

Financing of Consumers' Debts - Refers to the negotiation of overdue receivables from consumers, principally public administration. Payment of some of these receivables is guaranteed by the debtors, in the case of public entities, by pledging the bank accounts through which their ICMS (VAT) revenue is received. Allowances for doubtful debts are recognized based on the best estimates of the subsidiaries’ Management for unsecured amounts or amounts that are not expected to be collected.

Electric Energy Commercialization Chamber (CCEE) transactions - The amounts refer to the sale of electric energy on the spot market. The noncurrent amounts mainly comprise: (i) adjustments of entries made by the CCEE in response to certain legal decisions (preliminary orders) in the accounting processes for the period from September 2000 to December 2002; and (ii) provisional accounting entries established by the CCEE. The subsidiaries consider that there is no significant risk on the realization of these assets and consequently no allowance was recognized for these transactions.

 

Concessionaires and licensees - Refer basically to receivables for the supply of electric energy to other concessionaires and licensees, mainly by the subsidiaries CPFL Geração, CPFL Brasil and CPFL Renováveis.

(*)            Deferred tariff costs and gains variations from Parcel “A” items
(**)          Energy Development Account – CDE
(***)         System Service Charge (ESS) and Reserve Energy Charge (EER)

 

a) CVA

Refers to the variations of the Parcel A account, in accordance with note 3.14. These amounts are adjusted for inflation based on the SELIC rate and are compensated in the subsequent tariff processes.

b) Neutrality of sector charges

This refers to the neutrality of the sector charges contained in the electric energy tariffs, calculating the monthly differences between the amounts billed relating to such charges and the respective amounts considered at the time the distributors’ tariff was set.

c) Overcontracting

Electric energy distribution concessionaires are required to guarantee 100% of their energy market through contracts approved, registered and ratified by ANEEL. It is also assured to the distribution concessionaires that costs or revenues derived from energy surplus will be passed through the tariffs, limited to 5% of the energy load requirement. These amounts are adjusted for inflation based on SELIC rate and are compensated in the subsequent tariff processes.

d) Other financial components

Refers mainly to: (i) excess demand and excess reactive power that, since the 4th periodic tariff review cycle, became a financial component that will only be amortized upon the approval of the 5th periodic tariff review cycle, for the subsidiaries CPFL Piratininga, and Companhia Luz e Força Santa Cruz, Companhia Leste Paulista de Energia, Companhia Jaguari de Energia, Companhia Sul Paulista de Energia e Companhia Luz e Força de Mococa (grouped in 2017 under the trade name “CPFL Santa Cruz” as mentioned in note 12.6.2); (ii) financial guarantees related to the compensation of the cost of the previous offering of guarantees required from distributors for carrying out commercial transactions among the sector agents, (iii) financial components related to the recalculations of the tariff processes, to neutralize the effects to consumers, and (iv) ABRACE judicial injunction in accordance with Order No. 1.576/2016.

9.7    Unrecognized tax credits

As of December 31, 2017, the parent company has tax credits on tax loss carryforwards that were not recognized amounting to R$ 86,977 since at present there is no reasonable assurance of the generation of future taxable profits. This amount can be recognized in the future, according to the annual reviews of taxable profit projections.

Some subsidiaries have also income tax and social contribution credits on tax loss carryforwards that were not recognized because currently there is no reasonable assurance that sufficient future taxable profits will be generated to absorb them. At December 31, 2017, the main subsidiaries that have such income tax and social contribution credits are CPFL Renováveis (R$ 952,402), RGE Sul (R$ 248,705), Sul Geradora (R$ 72,645), CPFL Telecom (R$ 33,321) and CPFL Jaguari Geração (R$ 2,486). These tax losses can be carried forward indefinitely.

The balance refers to the financial asset corresponding to the right established in the concession agreements of the energy distribution (measured at fair value) and transmission (measured at amortized cost) companies to receive cash (i) through compensation at the time assets are handed over to the granting authority at the end of the concession, and (ii) the transmission companies’ right to receive cash over the concession period through allowed annual revenue ("RAP").

For energy distribution companies, according to the current tariff model, the remuneration for this asset is recognized in profit or loss upon billing to consumers and the realization occurs upon receipt of the electric energy bills. Moreover, the difference to adjust the balance to the expected cash flow receipts (new replacement value - “VNR” - note 4) is recognized as a balancing item to the operating income account (note 25) in the statement of profit or loss for the year.

For energy transmission companies, the remuneration for this asset is recognized according to the internal rate of return, which takes into account the investment made, the allowed annual revenue (“RAP”) to be received over the concession period, and the compensation to be received at the time assets are handed over to the granting authority. The adjustment of R$ 27,807 is recognized against other operating revenues and income (R$ 16.088 in 2016).

The balances disclosed in the "Business Combinations" line refer to the complementary amounts related to the acquisition of RGE Sul, which final recognition occurred on September 30, 2017, according to note 12.5.

Even holding more than 50% of the equity interest in Epasa and Chapecoense, the subsidiary CPFL Geração controls these investments jointly with other shareholders. The analysis of the classification of the type of investment is based on the Shareholders' Agreement of each joint venture.

The borrowings from the BNDES obtained by the joint ventures BAESA and Chapecoense establish restrictions on the payment of dividend to subsidiary CPFL Geração above the minimum mandatory dividend of 25% without the prior consent of the BNDES.

 

12.4.4    Joint operation

Through its wholly-owned subsidiary CPFL Geração, the Company holds part of the assets of the Serra da Mesa hydropower plant, located on the Tocantins River, in Goias State. The concession and the right to operate the hydropower plant are held by Furnas Centrais Elétricas S.A. In order to maintain these assets operating jointly with Furnas (jointly operation), CPFL Geração was assured 51.54% of the installed power of 1,275 MW (657 MW) and the assured energy of mean 671 MW (mean 345.4 MW) until 2028.

 

12.5     Business combination - Acquisition of AES Sul Distribuidora Gaúcha de Energia S.A.  (“AES Sul”)

On June 16, 2016, the Company disclosed in a Material Fact that it had entered into an agreement for the acquisition of 100% of the shares of AES Sul Distribuidora Gaúcha de Energia S.A. (“AES Sul”), currently RGE Sul, through its wholly-owned subsidiary CPFL Jaguariúna Participações Ltda., shares until then held by AES Guaíba II Empreendimentos Ltda. (“seller”), indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of The AES Corporation.

On August 5, 2016, the transaction was approved by CADE (Brazilian antitrust agency) and, on September 9, 2016, authorized by ANEEL (Brazilian Electricity Regulatory Agency).

The acquisition was completed on October 31, 2016 (“acquisition date”), after all the conditions precedent of the transaction were met, date in which the control of RGE Sul was taken over by CPFL Jaguariúna, the ownership of the shares was transferred and the payment was made.  This acquisition resulted in a business combination in accordance with CPC 15 (R1) – “Combinação de Negócios” and IFRS 3 (R) – Business Combination since CPFL Jaguariúna started holding the control of RGE Sul.

The consideration initially transferred was R$ 1,698,455, paid in cash, in a lump sum, at the acquisition date. This consideration was subsequently adjusted for changes in working capital and net debt of RGE Sul, occurred in the period between December 31, 2015 and the acquisition date, as per the amendment to the agreement. The final value of the consideration, considering the price adjustment, was R$1,591,839.

RGE Sul is a publicly traded company engaged in providing public electricity distribution services in any forms, and these activities are regulated by ANEEL, linked to the Ministry of Mines and Energy. Additionally, RGE Sul is authorized to participate in programs that aim at other forms of energy, technologies and services, including operation of activities derived directly or indirectly from the use of assets, rights and technologies owned by it.

b)    Assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date

 

The total amount paid on the transaction was allocated at the acquisition date to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair values, including intangible assets relating to the concession right. Accordingly, as the total amount paid was allocated to assets identified and liabilities assumed, no residual value was allocated as goodwill on this transaction.

The allocation of the amount paid for assets and liabilities acquired was made with amounts provisionally calculated for the financial statements as at December 31, 2016, based on analyses conducted by Management itself at the time these financial statements were prepared. The final fair values presented were pending confirmation until the completion of the economic and financial appraisal report prepared by independent appraiser, completed on October 30, 2017.

As a consequence, certain reclassifications were made to the amounts as at December 31, 2016, relating to the (i) decrease in the fair value of the concession infrastructure’s intangible asset; (ii) completion of the fair value allocation and alignment of the criteria on the provision for tax, civil and labor risks; (iii) increase in the amount of trade receivables; (iv) decrease in the concession’s financial asset; (v) decrease in the intangible asset relating to the operation right, as a consequence of the revision of the assumptions used to determine the value of tangible and intangible assets; and (vi) recording of deferred income tax and social contribution balances on certain adjustments. These reclassifications are within the measurement period, pursuant to CPC 15 / IFRS 3, and were considered immaterial for purposes of restatement of the 2016 financial statements.

The fair values presented above were finalized are in accordance with the economic and financial appraisal report prepared by the independent expert.

The fair values of the concession’s financial asset and the distribution infrastructure’s intangible asset were calculated based on the independent appraiser’s report, considering the same assumptions adopted at the time of preparation of the report for Periodic Tariff Review purposes (Regulatory Remuneration Basis - “BRR”).

c) Contingent consideration

The share purchase agreement does not contain any clauses relating to the contingent consideration to be paid to the seller.

 

d) Indemnification assets

The agreement for purchase of 100% of the shares of RGE Sul establishes that CPFL Jaguariúna may be indemnified, up to the limit of 15% of the total amount paid, if any losses are incurred in the future, contingent

upon the compliance with specific clauses, derived from matters originated in the seller or in any of its subsidiaries established in the share purchase agreement. There are also specific clauses for two lawsuits (regulatory and environmental) in which the seller undertakes to indemnify fully CPFL Jaguariúna in the event of cash outflows relating to these lawsuits, and CPFL Jaguariúna undertakes to pass on to the seller any cash flows relating to these lawsuits that may be received in the future, in order to neutralize any effect on these two matters in particular.

The recognized final fair value of the indemnification asset is R$ 41,974, relating to the environmental lawsuit (see item “e” below). This indemnification asset was recognized in the same amount of the fair value attributed to this contingent liability.

No indemnification asset was recognized for the regulatory lawsuit for which there is a specific indemnification clause since no contingent liability relating to this lawsuit was recognized at the acquisition date.

 

e) Contingent liabilities recognized

We present below the final contingent liabilities recognized in the amount of R$150,065:

 

 

 

RGE Sul

 

 

October 31, 2016

Labor lawsuits (i)

 

                 11,429

Civil lawsuits (i)

 

                 83,575

Environmental lawsuits (ii)

 

                 41,974

               150,065

Provisions recognized in the subsidiary

 

               173,530

Provisions for tax, civil and labor risks

 

               323,595

 

i.    These amounts represent the fair values of the labor, civil, regulatory and tax lawsuits for which the likelihood of loss attributed at the acquisition date is “possible” or “remote”. Considering that the settlement of these lawsuits depends on third parties, either at the judicial or administrative level, it is not possible to estimate a schedule for the occurrence of any cash outflows associated with these contingent liabilities. No indemnification asset was recognized for these contingent liabilities.

 

ii.   Refers to the fair value attributed to a class action lawsuit for which the likelihood of loss attributed by Management, together with its legal counsel, is “possible” at the acquisition date. This class action lawsuit seeks compensation for environmental damages occurred in a woodworking and pole manufacture unit that was operated, between 1997 and 2005, by RGE Sul together with its associate at that time AES Florestal. Until 1997, this unit was operated by the former concessionaire, Companhia Estadual de Energia Elétrica (CEEE). An indemnification asset in the same amount was recognized at the acquisition date.

 

f) Receivables acquired

The fair value of the receivables acquired is R$ 660,446. The gross contractual amount of the receivables is R$ 703,672 and based on the independent expert best estimates R$ 43,226 are not expected to be received and represent therefore the portion that is expected to represent an impairment loss.

 

g) Net cash outflow on the acquisition

(*) The pro forma adjustments in the net operating revenue consider the addition of the subsidiary’s net operating revenue for the period in which it was not a subsidiary and, consequently, was not consolidated by the Company. The pro forma adjustments to profit for the period consider: (i) addition of the subsidiary’s result for the period in which it was not consolidated by the Company; (ii) inclusion of the amortization of the intangible asset acquired on the business combination and the amortization and disposal of the fair value of the distribution infrastructure’s intangible asset, had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2016.

 

12.6 Corporate restructurings

12.6.1    Merger of CPFL Jaguariúna

At the EGM held on December 15, 2017, approval was given for the merger of CPFL Jaguariúna  into RGE Sul. Accordingly, the merged company was wound up and RGE Sul became the successor to its assets, rights and obligations.

At the time of the merger, the concepts of CVM Instructions No. 319/99 and 349/01 were applied, which resulted in the recognition of a goodwill rectifying account, generating a tax credit of R$ 99,981 (note 9). To reassess its investments, the Company and CPFL Brasil recognized, proportionally to its investments in RGE Sul, (i) a reassessed concession intangible asset of R$ 148,487 and R$ 45,594 respectively, totaling R$ 194,081, corresponding to the fair value adjustment (value added) of the intangible assets relating to the distribution infrastructure and the right to operate the concession; and (ii) a net adjustment corresponding to the surplus value and decrease in  value in the amounts of R$ 66,607 and R$ 20,452, respectively, corresponding  to the fair value of the provision for tax, civil and labor risks, decrease in value of consumers, and surplus value of indemnification asset. Both amounts are non-deductible for tax purposes for the Company and for CPFL Brasil.

Standard Financial Statements –DFP –  Date: December 31, 2017 - CPFL Energia S.A.

 

The balance of construction in progress, in the consolidated balances, refers mainly to works in progress of operating and/or under development subsidiaries, especially for the projects of CPFL Renováveis, which has construction in progress of R$ 197,305 at December 31, 2017 (R$ 182,181 at December 31, 2016).

In conformity with CPC 20 (R1) and IAS 23, the interest on borrowings taken by subsidiaries to finance the works is capitalized during the construction phase. In the consolidated balances, in the year of 2017 R$ 29,817 were capitalized at the rate of 8.80% p.a. (R$ 54.733, at the rate of 11.70% p.a., in 2016).

In the consolidated balances, the depreciation amounts are recognized in the statement of profit or loss in line item “Depreciation and amortization” (note 27).

At December 31, 2017, the total amount of property, plant and equipment pledged as collateral for borrowings, as mentioned in note 16, is approximately R$ 3,903,380, mainly relating to the subsidiary CPFL Renováveis (R$ 3,841,016).

 

13.1 Impairment testing

For all the reporting years the Company assesses whether there are indicators of impairment of its assets that would require an impairment test. The assessment was based on external and internal information sources, taking into account fluctuations in interest rates, changes in market conditions and other factors.

In 2016, a provision of R$ 5,221 was recognized in subsidiary CPFL Telecom for the impairment of cash-generating units, for 2017 the recognition of an additional provision was not necessary. In 2017, due to the changes in the Brazilian political, economic and energy scenario, the subsidiary CPFL Renováveis recognized a loss of R$ 15,261 relating to property, plant and equipment of the Bio Baia Formosa and Solar Tanquinho projects. This loss was recognized in the statement of profit or loss in line item “Other operating expenses” (note 27).

Such provisions for impairment were based on the assessment of the cash-generating units comprising fixed assets of those subsidiaries which, separately, are not featured as an operating segment (note 29). Additionally, during 2017 and 2016 the Company did not change the form of aggregation of the assets for identification of these cash-generating units.

Fair value was measured by using the cost approach, a valuation technique that reflects the amount that would be required at present to replace the service capacity of an asset (normally referred to as the cost of substitution or replacement). A provision for impairment of assets was recognized owing to the unfavorable scenario for the business of these subsidiaries and it was calculated based on their fair values, net of selling expenses.

The balances disclosed in the "Business Combinations" line refer to the complementary amounts related to the acquisition of RGE Sul, which final recognition occurred on September 30, 2017, according to note 12.5.

infrastructure intangible assets, use of public asset and other intangible assets; and (ii) “amortization of concession intangible asset” for amortization of the intangible asset acquired in business combination (note 27).

In conformity with CPC 20 (R1) and IAS 23, the interest on borrowings taken by subsidiaries is capitalized for qualifying intangible assets. In the consolidated, for the year of 2017, R$ 20,726 were capitalized at a rate of 8.17% p.a. (R$ 13,349 at a rate of 7.74% p.a. in 2016).

The balances disclosed in the "Business Combinations" line refer to the complementary amounts related to the acquisition of RGE Sul, which final recognition occurred on September 30, 2017, according to note 12.5.

The intangible asset acquired in business combinations is associated to the right to operate the concessions and comprises:

- Intangible asset acquired, not merged

  Refers basically to the intangible asset from acquisition of the shares held by noncontrolling interests prior to adoption of CPC 15 and IFRS 3.

- Intangible asset acquired and merged - Deductible

Refers to the intangible asset from the acquisition of subsidiaries that were merged into the respective equity, without application of CVM Instructions No. 319/1999 and No. 349/2001, that is, without segregation of the amount of the tax benefit.

- Intangible asset acquired and merged – Reassessed

In order to comply with ANEEL requirements and avoid the amortization of the intangible asset resulting from the merger of parent company causing a negative impact on dividend paid to noncontrolling interests, the subsidiaries applied the concepts of CVM Instructions No. 319/1999 and No. 349/2001 to the intangible asset. A reserve was therefore recognized to adjust the intangible, against a special goodwill reserve on the merger of equity in each subsidiary, so that the effect of the transaction on the equity

reflects the tax benefit of the merged intangible asset. These changes affected the Company's investment in subsidiaries, and in order to adjust this, a nondeductible intangible asset was recognized for tax purposes.

Effective January 1, 2016, in compliance with the amendments to IAS 16/CPC 27 and IAS 38/CPC 04 (R1), the Group started to adopt prospectively, for all cases, the straight-line method of amortization over the remaining concession period.

 

14.2 Impairment test

For all the reporting years, the Company assesses whether there are indicators of impairment of its assets that would require an impairment test. The assessment was based on external and internal information sources, taking into account fluctuations in interest rates, changes in market conditions and other factors.

In 2016, a provision of R$ 2,637 was recognized in subsidiary CPFL Telecom for the impairment of cash-generating units, in the statement of profit or loss in line item “Other operating expenses” (note 27). In 2017, the subsidiary CPFL Renováveis recognized a loss of R$ 5,176 (R$ 40,433 in 2016), relating to intangible assets acquired in the business combination of the Pedra Cheirosa I and Bio Formosa projects.

Such provisions for impairment were based on the assessment of these cash-generating units formed by the intangible assets of those subsidiaries, which, separately, do not feature an operating segment (note 29). Additionally, during 2017 and 2016 the Company did not change the form of aggregation of the assets for identification of these cash-generating units.

For fair value measurement the cost approach was used, this is a valuation technique that reflects the amount that would be currently required to replace the service capacity of an asset (normally referred to as cost of substitution or replacement). The recognition of the provision for impairment of assets was due to the unfavorable scenario for the businesses of these subsidiaries and was calculated based on their fair values net of selling expenses.

(*) In accordance with CPC 08/IAS 39, this refers to borrowing costs directly attributable to the issuance of the respective debts, measured at cost.

(**) Syndicated transaction – borrowings in foreign currency, having as counterpart a group of financial institutions.

 

As segregated in the tables above, in conformity with CPCs 38 and 39 and IASs 32 and 39, the Group classified their debts as (i) other financial liabilities (or measured at amortized cost), and (ii) financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss.

The objective of the classification as financial liabilities of borrowings measured at fair value is to compare the effects of the recognition of income and expenses derived from marking to market of derivatives, debt-related derivatives, in order to obtain more relevant and consistent accounting information. At December 31, 2017, the balance of the borrowings measured at fair value was R$ 4,858,445 (R$ 5,502,211 at December 31, 2016).

Changes in the fair values of these borrowings are recognized in the finance income/cost of the Group. At December 31, 2017, the accumulated gains of R$ 58,552 (R$ 37,415 at December 31, 2016) on marking the

 (ii) Foreign currency borrowings - Bank of America Merrill Lynch, J.P Morgan, Citibank, Scotiabank, Banco de Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Santander, Sumitomo, Mizuho, HSBC, BNP Paribas and syndicated transaction (Law 4,131)

 

The foreign currency borrowings obtained under Law 4,131 are subject to certain covenants, including clauses that require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios within pre-established parameters, calculated semiannually.

The ratios required are as follows: (i) Net Indebtedness divided by EBITDA – maximum of 3.75 and (ii) EBITDA divided by Finance Income (Costs) – minimum of 2.25.

 

The definition of EBITDA for the Company, for covenant calculation purposes, takes into consideration mainly the consolidation of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures based on the direct or indirect interest held by the Company in those companies (for both EBITDA and assets and liabilities).

Various borrowings of the direct and indirect subsidiaries were subject to early maturity in the event of changes in the Company’s shareholding structure, except if at least one of the following shareholders, Camargo Corrêa and Previ, remained directly or indirectly in the Company’s control block. In view of the change of the Company’s shareholding control in January 2017, the Company negotiated previously with the Group’s creditors that they would not declare the early maturity of such borrowings, which started including State Grid International Development Limited or any entity directly or indirectly controlled by State Grid Corporation of China as exception for not declaring the early maturity of the debt.

Furthermore, failure to comply with the obligations or restrictions mentioned may result in default in relation to other contractual obligations (cross default), depending on each borrowing agreement.

The Group’s management monitors these ratios on a systematic and continuous basis to ensure that the conditions are complied with. In the opinion of the Group’s management, all covenants and financial and non-financial clauses are properly complied, except as mentioned previously in relation to the indirectly-controlled entity CPFL Renováveis, at December 31, 2017.

·         Net indebtedness divided by EBITDA – maximum of 3.75;

·         EBITDA divided by finance income (costs) - minimum of 2.25;

Various borrowings of the direct and indirect subsidiaries and joint ventures were subject to early maturity in the event of changes in the Company’s shareholding structure, except if at least one of the following shareholders, Camargo Corrêa and Previ, remained directly or indirectly in the Company’s control block.

In view of the change of the Company’s shareholding control in January 2017, the Company negotiated previously with the Group’s creditors that they would not declare the early maturity of such debentures, which started including State Grid International Development Limited or any entity directly or indirectly controlled by State Grid Corporation of China as exception for not declaring the early maturity of the debt.

Failure to comply with the restrictions mentioned may result in default in relation to other contractual obligations (cross default), depending on each agreement.

The Group’s management monitors these ratios on a systematic and continuous basis to ensure that the conditions are complied with. In the opinion of the Group’s management, all covenants and clauses are properly complied at December 31, 2017.

 

(18 ) PRIVATE PENSION PLAN

 

The subsidiaries sponsor supplementary retirement and pension plans for their employees. The main characteristics of these plans are as follows:

18.1 Characteristics

CPFL Paulista

 

105


 
 

(Free Translation of the original in Portuguese)

Standard Financial Statements –DFP –  Date: December 31, 2017 - CPFL Energia S.A.

 

The plan currently in force for the employees of the subsidiary CPFL Paulista through Fundação CESP is a Mixed Benefit Plan, with the following characteristics:

(i)      Defined Benefit Plan (“BD”) – in force until October 31, 1997 – a defined benefit plan, which grants a Proportional Supplementary Defined Benefit (“BSPS”), in the form of a lifetime income convertible into a pension, to participants enrolled prior to October 31, 1997, the amount being defined in proportion to the accumulated past service time up to that date, based on compliance with the regulatory requirements for granting. The total responsibility for coverage of actuarial deficits of this plan falls to the subsidiary.

 

(ii)     Mixed model, as from November 1, 1997, which covers:

·         scheduled retirement, under a variable contribution plan, consisting of a benefit plan, which is a defined contribution plan up to the granting of the income, and does not generate any actuarial liability for the subsidiary. The benefit plan only becomes a defined benefit plan, consequently generating actuarial responsibility for the subsidiary, after the granting of a lifetime income, convertible or not into a pension.

Additionally, the subsidiary’s Managers may opt for a Free Benefit Generator Plan – PGBL (defined contribution), operated by either Banco do Brasil or Bradesco.

 

CPFL Piratininga

As a result of the spin-off of Bandeirante Energia S.A. (subsidiary’s predecessor), the subsidiary CPFL Piratininga assumed the responsibility for the actuarial liabilities of that company’s employees retired and terminated until the date of spin-off, as well as for the obligations relating to the active employees transferred to the subsidiary.

On April 2, 1998, the Secretariat of Pension Plans – “SPC” approved the restructuring of the retirement plan previously maintained by Bandeirante, creating a "Proportional Supplementary Defined Benefit Plan – BSPS”, and a "Mixed Benefit Plan", with the following characteristics:

(i)      Defined Benefit Plan (“BD”) - in force until March 31, 1998 – a defined benefit plan, which grants a Proportional Supplementary Defined Benefit (BSPS), in the form of a lifetime income convertible into a pension to participants enrolled until March 31, 1998, in an amount calculated in proportion to the accumulated past service time up to that date, based on compliance with the regulatory requirements for granting. In the event of death while working or the onset of a disability, the benefits incorporate the entire past service time. The subsidiary has full responsibility for covering the actuarial deficits of this Plan.

 

(ii)     Defined Benefit Plan - in force after March 31, 1998 – defined-benefit type plan, which grants a lifetime income convertible into a pension based on the past service time accumulated after March 31, 1998, based on 70% of the average actual monthly salary for the last 36 months of active service. In the event of death while working or the onset of a disability, the benefits incorporate the entire past service time. The responsibility for covering the actuarial deficits of this Plan is equally divided between the subsidiary and the participants.

 

(iii)    Variable Contribution Plan – implemented together with the Defined Benefit plan effective after March 31, 1998. This is a defined-benefit type pension plan up to the granting of the income, and generates no actuarial liability for the subsidiary. The pension plan only becomes a Defined Benefit type plan after the granting of the lifetime income, convertible (or not) into a pension, and accordingly starts to generate actuarial liabilities for the subsidiary.

Additionally, the subsidiary’s Managers may opt for a Free Benefit Generator Plan – PGBL (defined contribution), operated by either Banco do Brasil or Bradesco.

 

RGE

A defined benefit type plan, with a benefit level equal to 100% of the adjusted average of the most recent salaries, less the presumed Social Security benefit, with a Segregated Net Asset managed by Fundação CEEE. Only those whose employment contracts were transferred from CEEE to RGE are entitled to this benefit. A defined benefit private pension plan was set up in January 2006 with Bradesco Vida e Previdência for employees hired from 1997.

Standard Financial Statements –DFP –  Date: December 31, 2017 - CPFL Energia S.A.

 

Supplementary pension plans for its employees, former employees and related beneficiaries, managed by CEEE. The Single Plan is of the “defined benefit” type and is closed to new participants since February 2011. The Company’s contribution equates the contribution of the benefitted employees, in the proportion of one for one, including regarding the Fundação’s administrative costing plan. Currently the Itauprev plan is in effect, structured in the modality of defined contribution.

 

Companhia Jaguari de Energia (“CPFL Santa Cruz”)

Until December 31, 2017, the subsidiaries Companhia Leste Paulista de Energia, Companhia Jaguari de Energia, Companhia Sul Paulista de Energia and Companhia Luz e Força de Mococa  had a private pension plan named CMSPREV, managed by IHPREV Fundo de Pensão, and subsidiary Companhia Luz e Força Santa Cruz had a benefits plan managed by BB Previdência - Fundo de Pensão from Banco do Brasil, both mostly structured as a defined contribution plan.

After December 31, 2017, with the grouping event mentioned in note 12.6.2, the company’s official plan is the CMSPREV, managed by IHPREV Fundo de Pensão. The same plan was maintained for employees that had the benefits plan managed by BB Previdência - Fundo de Pensão from Banco do Brasil.

 

CPFL Geração

The employees of the subsidiary CPFL Geração participate in the same pension plan as CPFL Paulista.

In addition, managers may opt for a Free Benefit Generator Plan – PGBL (defined contribution), operated by either Banco do Brasil or Bradesco.

The allocation target for 2018 was based on the recommendations for allocation of assets made at the end of 2017 by Fundação CESP and Fundação CEEE, in their Investment Policy. This target may change at any time during 2018, in light of changes in the macroeconomic situation or in the return on assets, among other factors.

The asset management aims to maximize the return on investments, while seeking to minimize the risks of an actuarial deficit. Investments are therefore always made bearing in mind the liabilities that have to be honored. Fundação CESP and Fundação CEEE conduct studies of Asset Liability Management at least once

a year, for a horizon longer than ten years. The ALM study also represents an important tool for the liquidity risk management of the pension plans since it considers the payment flow of benefits versus the assets considered liquid.

The basis for determining the assumptions of estimated general return on the assets is supported by ALM. The main assumptions are macroeconomic projections for calculating the anticipated long-term profitability, taking into account the current benefit plan portfolios. ALM processes the ideal average long-term allocation of the plans’ assets and the estimated long-term profitability is based on this allocation and on the assumptions of the assets’ profitability.

 

18.7 Sensitivity analysis

The significant actuarial assumptions for determining the defined benefit obligation are discount rate and mortality. The following sensitivity analyses were based on reasonably possible changes in the assumptions at the end of the reporting period, with the other assumptions remaining constant.

In the presentation of the sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligation was calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, the same method used to calculate the defined benefit obligation recognized in the statement of income, according to CPC 33 / IFRS 19.

See below the effects on the defined benefit obligation if the discount rate were 0.25 percentage points lower (higher) and if general biometric mortality table were to be softened (aggravated) in one year:

18.8 Investment risk

The major part of the resources of the Company’s benefit plans is invested in the fixed income segment and, within this segment, the greater part of the funds is invested in federal government bonds, indexed to the IGP-M, IPCA and SELIC, which are the indexes for adjustment of the actuarial liabilities of the Company’s plans (defined benefit plans), representing the matching between assets and liabilities.

Management of the Company’s benefit plans is monitored by the Investment and Pension Plan Management Committee, which includes representatives of active and retired employees, as well as members appointed by the Company. Among the duties of the Committee are the analysis and approval of investment recommendations made by Fundação CESP investment managers, which occurs at least quarterly.

In addition to controlling market risks by the unplanned divergence methodology, as required by law, Fundação CESP and Fundação CEEE uses the following tools to control market risks in the fixed income and variable income segments: VaR, Tracking Risk, Tracking Error and Stress Test.

Fundação CESP's and Fundação CEEE’s Investment Policy imposes additional restrictions that, along those established by law, define the percentage of diversification for investments in assets issued or underwritten by the same legal entity.

The Group is part to other lawsuits in which Management, supported by its external legal counselors, believes that the chances of a successful outcome are possible, that is, it is more likely than not that there will be no disbursement for these cases due to a solid defensive position in these cases. It is not yet possible to predict the outcome of the courts’ decisions or any other decisions in similar proceedings considered probable or remote.

Tax – there is a discussion about the deductibility for income tax of the expense recognized in 1997 relating to the commitment assumed in regard to the pension plan of employees of the subsidiary CPFL Paulista with Fundação CESP in the estimated amount of R$ 1,224,660. In January 2016, the subsidiary obtained court decisions that authorized the replacement of the escrow deposits related to these lawsuits with financial guarantees (letter of guarantee and performance bond), for which the withdrawals on behalf of the subsidiary occurred in 2016. There is an appeal by the Office of Attorney-General of the National Treasury in both cases, without suspensive effect, which is pending a decision of the Federal Regional Court. Concurrently, in February 2017, there was a decision for the refund of the amount related to interest incurred on one of the deposits withdrawn. Therefore, the subsidiary made an escrow deposit of R$ 206,874.

Additionally, in August 2016, the subsidiary CPFL Renováveis received a tax infringement notice in the amount of R$ 285,537 relating to the collection of Withholding Income Tax - IRRF on remuneration of capital gain incurred by parties resident and/or domiciled abroad, arising from the transaction of sale of Jantus SL, in December 2011, which the Company’s management, supported by the opinion of its outside legal counselors, classified the likelihood of a favorable outcome as possible.

The subsidiary CPFL Geração, in December 2016, received two tax infringement notices that, summed up, total R$ 316,372 relating to the collection of Corporate Income Tax - IRPJ and Social Contribution on Profit – CSLL relating to calendar year 2011, calculated on the alleged capital gain identified on the acquisition of ERSA Energias Renováveis S.A. and recording of differences from the fair value remeasurement of SMITA Empreendimentos e Participações S.A., company acquired in a downstream merger, which the Company’s management, supported by its outside legal counselors, classified the likelihood of a favorable outcome as possible.

As regards labor contingencies, the Group informs that there is discussion about the possibility of changing the inflation adjustment index adopted by the Labor Court. Currently there is a decision of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) that suspends the change taken into effect by the Superior Labor Court (TST), which intended to change the index currently adopted by the Labor Court (“TR”), the IPCA-E. The Supreme Court considered that the TST’s decision entailed an unlawful interpretation and was not compliant with the determination of the effects of prior court decisions, violating its competence to decide on a constitutional matter. In view of such decision, and until there is a final decision  by the STF, the index currently adopted by the Labor Court (“TR”) remains valid, which has been acknowledged by the TST (Superior Labor Court) in recent decisions. Accordingly, the management of the Group considers the risk of loss as possible and, as this matter still requires definition by the Courts, it is not possible to reliably estimate the amounts involved. Furthermore, in accordance with Law 13,467, of November 11, 2017, TR is the index for inflation adjustment used by the Labor Court since the date the law became effective.

Based on the opinion of their outside legal counselors, the Group’s management believes that the amounts provided for reflect the current best estimate.

(*)Considers the event that occurred on April 29, 2016, related to the capital increase through issue of 24,900,531 shares as bonus. In accordance with CPC 41/IAS 33, when there is an increase in the number of shares without an increase in resources, the number of shares is adjusted as if the event had occurred at the beginning of the oldest period presented

The dilutive effect of the numerator in the calculation of diluted earnings per share considers the dilutive effects of the debentures convertible into shares issued by subsidiaries of the indirect subsidiary CPFL Renováveis. The effects were calculated based on the assumption that these debentures would be converted into common shares of the subsidiaries at the beginning of each year.

25.1 Adjustment of revenues from excess demand and excess reactive power

The tariff regulation procedure (Proret), sub item 2.7 Other revenues, approved by ANEEL Normative Resolution No. 463 of November 22, 2011, determined that revenues of the distribution subsidiaries received as a result of excess demand and excess reactive power, from the contractual tariff review date for the 3rd periodic tariff review, must be accounted for as special obligations, in specific sub-accounts, and will be amortized from the next tariff review. Beginning May 2015 for subsidiary CPFL Piratininga, September 2015 for subsidiary Companhia Jaguari de Energia (CPFL Santa Cruz) and November 2017 for subsidiaries CPFL Paulista and RGE Sul due to the 4th cycle of periodic tariff review, this special obligation started being amortized and the new values from the excess demand and excess reagents started being recognized in sector financial assets and liabilities and will only be amortized when the 5th cycle of periodic tariff review is approved.

On February 7, 2012, the Brazilian Association of Electric Energy Distributors (Associação Brasileira de Distribuidores de Energia Elétrica - ABRADEE) succeeded in suspending the effects of Resolution No. 463, whereby the request for preliminary judicial injunction relief was granted and the order to account for revenues from excess demand and excess reactive power as special obligations was suspended. The suspensive effect required by ANEEL in its interlocutory appeal was granted in June 2012 and the preliminary judicial injunction relief originally granted in favor of ABRADEE was suspended. The distribution subsidiaries are awaiting the court’s decision on the final treatment of these revenues. These amounts are accrued as sector financial liability, under special obligations which are being amortized, presented net in concession intangible asset, in compliance with CPC 25.

As mentioned in note 12.6.2, at December 31, 2017, the EGM approved the grouping of subsidiaries Companhia Luz e Força Santa Cruz, Companhia Leste Paulista de Energia, Companhia Jaguari de Energia, Companhia Sul Paulista de Energia e Companhia Luz and Força de Mococa In accordance with Normative Resolution 716, of May 3, 2016, until the first tariff review of the grouped concessionaire, which will take place in March 2021, ANEEL may apply the procedure that divides over time the variation in the tariffs of the former concessions and the unified tariff. This will occur in the tariff adjustment of March 2018.

 

25.3  Energy Development Account (CDE) – Low income, other tariff subsidies and tariff discounts - injunctions

Law 12,783 of January 11, 2013 determined that the amounts related to the low-income subsidy, as well as other tariff discounts shall be fully subsidized by amount from the CDE.

Income of R$ 1,419,128 was recognized in 2017 (R$ 1,266,027 in 2016), of which R$ 96,882 for the low-income subsidy (R$ 93,879 in 2016), R$ 1.226.777 for other tariff discounts (R$ 944,742 in 2016) and R$ 95,469 for tariff discounts – injunctions (R$ 227,406 in 2016), against other receivables in line item “Account Receivable – CDE” (note 11) and other payables in line item “Tariff discounts – CDE” (note 22).

 

25.4 Tariff flags

The system for application of Tariff Flags was created by means of Normative Resolution No. 547/2013, in effect as from January 1, 2015. Such mechanism can reflect the actual cost of the conditions for generation of electric energy in Brazil, mainly related to thermoelectric generation, energy security ESS, hydrologic risk and involuntary exposure of electric energy distributors. A green flag indicates favorable conditions and the tariff does not rise. A yellow flag indicates less favorable conditions, and the red flag, segregated at two levels, is set off in costlier conditions. In the latter cases, the tariff increases R$ 1.00, R$ 3.00 and R$ 5.00 (before tax effects), respectively, for each 100 KWh consumed, readjusted by due to a decision issued by the Collegiate Board regarding Public Hearing No. 61/2017, as of November 1, 2017.

In 2017, ANEEL approved the Tariff Flags billed from December 2016 to October 2017. The amount approved in this period was R$ 610,584 (R$ 430,065 in 2016), recognized in line item “Tariff flags and others”. From this amount, R$ 386,242 were used to offset part of the sector financial asset and liability (note 8) and R$ 224,395 were transferred to the centralizing account for tariff flag resources (“CCRBT”).   The amount of R$ 298,507, relating to the tariff flag billed in November and December 2017 and not approved, is recognized in regulatory charges (note 19).

 

25.5  Energy development account (“CDE”)

ANEEL, by means of Ratifying Resolution (“REH”) No. 2,202 of February 7, 2017, amended by REH No. 2,204 of March 7, 2017, established the definitive annual quotas of CDE for the year 2017. These quotas comprise: (i) annual quota of the CDE – USAGE account; and (ii) quota of the CDE – Energy account, related to part of the CDE contributions received by the electric energy distribution concessionaires in the period from January 2013 to January 2014, which should be charged from consumers and passed on to the CDE Account in up to five years from the RTE of 2015. Furthermore, by means of REH No. 2.004 of

(Free Translation of the original in Portuguese)

Standard Financial Statements –DFP –  Date: December 31, 2017 - CPFL Energia S.A.

 

December 15, 2015, ANEEL established another quota intended for the amortization of the ACR Account, whose amount were updated by REH No. 2.231, of April 25, 2017, with payment and transfer to the CDE Account for the tariff period of each subsidiary.

 

25.6 Adjustment for refunding the Reserve Energy Charge ("EER") of Angra III

ANEEL approved through REH No. 2,214 of March 28, 2017 the republication of the energy tariff – TE and Distribution System Usage Tariff - TUSD for the distribution subsidiaries, with the purpose of refunding the amount forecast for the Reserve Energy Charge (EER) of the energy generation company UTN Almirante Alvaro Alberto - Unit III (Angra III).

The tariffs resulting from this decision were effective in April 2017, however, as the reading period of each consuming unit does not coincide with the calendar month, this reduction occurred in the revenue amounts of April and May 2017, with its impact diluted between the two periods.

The average effect perceived by the consumers was: -15.28% at CPFL Paulista, -6.8% at CPFL Piratininga, -10.89% at RGE, -13.76% at RGE Sul, -13.76% at Companhia Luz e Força Santa Cruz, -14.81% at Companhia Leste Paulista de Energia, -14.71% at Companhia Luz e Força de Mococa, -14.29% at Companhia Sul Paulista de Energia (as mentioned in note 12.6.2, in 2017 the subsidiaries CPFL Santa Cruz, CPFL Jaguari, CPFL Leste Paulista, CPFL Sul Paulista and CPFL Mococa were grouped, and they adopted the name CPFL Santa Cruz), and -16.49% at Companhia Jaguari de Energia (“CPFL Santa Cruz”).

The estimated impact of this adjustment is an average reduction of -12.85% in revenues of distribution subsidiaries in April 2017.

( 32 ) RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group’s businesses comprise mainly the generation, trading and distribution of electricity. As concessionaire of public services, the activities and/or tariffs of its major subsidiaries are regulated by ANEEL.

Risk management structure

At CPFL Group, the risk management is conducted through a structure that involves the Board of Directors and Supervisory Board, Advisory Committees, Executive Board, Internal Audit and Corporate Risks Management and business areas. This management is regulated by the Corporate Risk Management Policy, which describes the risk management model as well as the attributions of each agent.

The Board of Directors of CPFL Energia is responsible for deciding on the risk limit methodologies recommended by the Executive Board, and for being aware of the exposures and mitigation plans presented in the event these limits are exceeded. This forum is also responsible for being aware of and monitoring any important weaknesses in controls and/or processes, as well as relevant regulatory compliance failures, following up on the plans proposed by the Executive Board to correct them.

The Advisory Committee(s) of the Board of Directors, in its role(s) of technical body(ies), is responsible for becoming aware of (i) the risk monitoring models, (ii) the exposures to risks, and (iii) the control levels (including their effectiveness), supporting the Board of Directors in the performance of its statutory role related to risk management.

The Fiscal Council of CPFL Energia is responsible for, among other things, certifying that Management has means to identify the risks on the preparation and disclosure of the financial statements to which the CPFL Group is exposed as well as for monitoring the effectiveness of the control environment.

The Executive Board of CPFL Energia is responsible for conducting businesses within the risk limits defined, and should take the required measures to avoid that the exposure to risks exceeds such limits and report any excess of the limit to the Board of Directors of CPFL Energia, presenting mitigation actions.

The Internal Audit and Corporate Risks Management is responsible for coordinating the risk management process at CPFL Group, developing and keeping up-to-date Corporate Risk Management methodologies that involve the identification, measurement, monitoring and reporting of risks to which the CPFL Group is exposed.

The business areas have the primary responsibility for the management of the risks inherent to its processes, and should conduct them within the exposure limits defined and implementing mitigation plans for the main exposures.

The main market risk factors that affect the businesses are as follows:

(Free Translation of the original in Portuguese)

Standard Financial Statements –DFP –  Date: December 31, 2017 - CPFL Energia S.A.

 

Foreign exchange risk: This risk derives from the possibility of the Group incurring losses and cash constraints due to fluctuations in exchange rates, increasing the balances of liabilities denominated in foreign currency or decreasing the portion of revenue arising from annual adjustment of part of the tariff based on the fluctuation of the dollar, in power sale agreements of the joint venture ENERCAN. The exposure related to funding in foreign currency is hedged by swap transactions. The exposure related to ENERCAN revenue, proportional to the interest held by the Company, is hedged by financial instruments such as the zero cost collar described in note 33.b.1. The quantification of these risks is presented in note 33. In addition, the subsidiaries are exposed in their operating activities to fluctuations in exchange rates on purchase of electricity from Itaipu. The compensation mechanism - CVA protects the distribution subsidiaries against any economic losses.

Interest rate risk and inflation indexes: This risk arises due to the possibility of the Group incurring losses due to fluctuations in interest rates and in inflation indexes, which would increase the finance costs related to borrowings and debentures. The quantification of this risk is presented in note 33.

Credit risk: this risk arises from the possibility of the subsidiaries incurring losses resulting from difficulties in collecting amounts billed to customers. This risk is managed by the sales and services segments through norms and guidelines applied in terms of the approval, guarantees required and monitoring of the operations. In the distribution segment, even though it is highly pulverized, the risk is managed through monitoring of defaults, collection measures and cutting off supply. In the generation segment there are contracts under the regulated environment (ACR) and bilateral agreements that call for the posting of guarantees.

Risk of under/overcontracting from distributors: risk inherent to the energy distribution business in the Brazilian market to which the distributors of the CPFL Group and all distributors in the market are exposed. Distributors are prevented from fully passing through the costs of their electric energy purchases in two situations: (i) volume of energy contracted above 105% of the energy demanded by consumers and (ii) level of contracts lower than 100% of such demanded energy. In the first case, the energy contracted above 105% is sold in the CCEE and is not passed through to consumers, that is, in PLD scenarios lower than the purchase price of these contracts, there is a loss for the concession. In the second case, the distributors are required to purchase energy at the PLD amount at the CCEE and do not have guarantees of full pass-through to the consumer tariffs, there is a penalty for insufficiency of contractual guarantee. These situations may be mitigated if the distributors are entitled to exposures or involuntary surpluses.

Market risk of commercialization companies: this risk arises from the possibility of commercialization companies incurring losses due to variations in the prices that will value the positions of energy surplus or deficit of its portfolio in the free market, marked against the market price of electricity.

Risk of energy shortages: the energy sold by subsidiaries is primarily generated by hydropower plants. A prolonged period of low rainfall could result in a reduction in the volume of water in the power plants’ reservoirs, compromising the recovery of their volume, and resulting in losses due to the increase in the cost of purchasing energy or a reduction in revenue due to the introduction of comprehensive electric energy saving programs or other rationing programs, as in 2001.

The storage conditions of the National Interconnected System (“SIN”) permitted the generation of electricity during 2017 without risks of shortage, despite the low storage level in the Northeast subsystem. The improvement of the SIN storage condition, associated to the entry in operation of new hydropower generating units in the North region and the availability of thermopower generation, reduce significantly the probability of load cut load for energy reasons.

Risk of acceleration of debts: the Company has borrowing agreements and debentures with restrictive covenants normally applicable to these types of transactions. These covenants are monitored and do not restrict the capacity to operate normally, if met at the contractual intervals or if prior agreement is obtained from the creditors for failure to meet.

Regulatory risk: The electric energy supplied tariffs charged to captive consumers by the distribution subsidiaries are set by ANEEL, at intervals established in the concession agreements entered into with the Federal Government and in accordance with the periodic tariff review methodology established for the tariff cycle. Once the methodology has been ratified, ANEEL establishes tariffs to be charged by the distributor to the final consumers. In accordance with Law 8,987/1995, the tariffs set shall ensure the economic and financial equilibrium of the concession agreement at the time of the tariff review, but could result in lower adjustments than expected by the electric energy distributors.

 

Financial instruments risk management

The Group maintains operating and financial policies and strategies to protect the liquidity, safety and profitability of their assets. Accordingly, control and follow-up procedures are in place as regards the transactions and balances of financial instruments, for the purpose of monitoring the risks and current rates in relation to market conditions.

Risk management controls: In order to manage the risks inherent to the financial instruments and to monitor the procedures established by Management, the Group uses Luna and Bloomberg software systems to calculate the mark to market, stress testing and duration of the instruments, and assess the risks to which

the Group is exposed. Historically, the financial instruments contracted by the Group supported by these tools have produced adequate risk mitigation results. It must be stressed that the Company and its subsidiaries routinely contract derivatives, always with the appropriate levels of approval, only in the event of exposure that Management regards as a risk. The Group does not enter into transactions involving speculative derivatives.

The financial instruments for which the carrying amounts approximate the fair values, due to their nature, at the end of the reporting year are:

·       Financial assets: (i) consumers, concessionaires and licensees, (ii) leases, (iii) intercompany loans between associates, subsidiaries and parent company, (iv) receivables – CDE, (v) concession financial asset – transmission companies, (vi) pledges, funds and restricted deposits, (vii) services rendered to third parties, (viii) collection agreements and (ix) sector financial asset;

·       Financial liabilities: (i) trade payables, (ii) regulatory charges, (iii) use of public asset, (iv) consumers and concessionaires, (v) FNDCT/EPE/PROCEL, (vi) collection agreement, (vii) reversal fund, (viii) payables for business combination, (ix) tariff discounts – CDE and (x) sector financial liability.

In addition, in 2017 there were no transfers between the fair value hierarchy levels.

 

a)     Measurement of financial instruments

As mentioned in note 4, the fair value of a security corresponds to its maturity value (redemption value) adjusted to present value by the discount factor (relating to the maturity date of the security) obtained from the market interest curve, in Brazilian reais.

CPC 40 (R1) and IFRS 7 require the classification into a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurement of financial instruments, based on observable and unobservable inputs related to the measurement of a financial instrument at the measurement date.

CPC 40 (R1) and IFRS 7 also define observable inputs as market data obtained from independent sources and unobservable inputs as those that reflect market assumptions.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

Level 1: Quoted prices in an active market for identical instruments;

Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted prices in an active market that are observable for the asset or liability, directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices);

Level 3: Instruments whose relevant factors are not observable market inputs.

 

As the distribution concessionaries classified the respective concession financial assets as available-for-sale, the relevant factors for fair value measurement are not publicly observable. Therefore, the fair value hierarchy classification is level 3. The movements and respective gains (losses) in profit for or loss are R$

Standard Financial Statements –DFP –  Date: December 31, 2017 - CPFL Energia S.A.

 

204,443 (R$ 186,148 in 2016) and the main assumptions are described in note 10 and 25.

Additionally, the main assumptions used in the fair value measurement of the zero-cost collar derivative, the fair value hierarchy of which is Level 3, are disclosed in note 33 b.1.

The Company recognizes in “Investments at cost” in the financial statements the 5.94% interest held by the indirect subsidiary Paulista Lajeado Energia S.A. in the total capital of Investco S.A. (“Investco”), in the form of 28,154,140 common shares and 18,593,070 preferred shares. As Investco’s shares are not traded on the stock exchange and the main objective of its operations is to generate electric energy for commercialization by the shareholders holding the concession, the Company opted to recognize the investment at cost.

 

b)    Derivatives

The Group has the policy of using derivatives to hedge against the risks of fluctuations in exchange and interest rates, without any speculative purposes. The Group has currency hedges in a volume compatible with the net exchange exposure, including all assets and liabilities tied to exchange rate changes.

The hedging instruments entered into by the Group are currency or interest rate swaps with no leverage component, margin call requirements or daily or periodic adjustments. Furthermore, in 2015 the subsidiary CPFL Geração contracted a zero-cost collar derivative (see item b.1 below).

As a large part of the derivatives entered into by the subsidiaries have their terms fully aligned with the hedged debts, and in order to obtain more relevant and consistent accounting information through the recognition of income and expenses, these debts were designated for the accounting recognition at fair value (note 16). Other debts that have terms different from the derivatives contracted as a hedge continue to be recognized at amortized cost. Furthermore, the Group did not adopt hedge accounting for transactions with derivative instruments.

At 2017, the Group had the following swap transactions, all traded on the over-the-counter market:

(1) The interest rate hedge swaps have half-yearly validity, so the notional value reduces according to the amortization of the debt.

(2) Due to the characteristics of this derivative (zero-cost collar), the notional amount is presented in U.S. dollar.

(3)The values at cost are the derivative amount without the respective mark to market, while the notional refers to the contracted accrual.

(*) The effects in profit or loss of 2017 of mark to market adjustments of derivatives are: (i) loss of R$ 75,649 to debts designated at fair value, (ii) gain of R$ 13,722 to debts not  designated at fair value and (iii) loss of R$ 5,657 to other derivatives  (zero cost collar)

                 

As mentioned above, certain subsidiaries elected to mark to market debts for which they have fully debt-related derivatives instruments (note 16).

The Group has recognized gains and losses on their derivatives. However, as these derivatives are used as a hedging instrument, these gains and losses minimized the impacts of fluctuations in exchange and interest rates on the hedged debts. For the years of 2017 and 2016, the derivatives generated the following impacts on the consolidated profit or loss, recognized in the line item of Finance costs on adjustment for inflation and exchange rate changes:

b.1) Zero-cost collar derivative transactions entered into by CPFL Geração

Standard Financial Statements –DFP –  Date: December 31, 2017 - CPFL Energia S.A.

 

In 2015, the subsidiary CPFL Geração entered into a transaction involving put options and call options in US$, both having the same institution as counterpart, and that combined are featured as a transaction usually known as zero-cost collar. Entering into this transaction does not have any speculative purpose, inasmuch as it is aimed at minimizing any negative impacts on future revenue of the joint venture ENERCAN, which has electric energy sale agreements with annual adjustment of part of the tariff based on the dollar variation. In addition, according to Management’s view, the scenario in 2015 was favorable to enter into this type of financial instrument, considering the high volatility implicit in dollar options and the fact that there is no initial cost for this type of transaction.

The total amount contracted was US$ 111,817, with due dates between October 1, 2015 and September 30, 2020. At December 31, 2017, the total amount contracted was US$ 65,197, considering the options already settled until this date. The strike prices of the dollar options vary from R$ 4.20 to R$ 4.40 for put options and from R$ 5.40 to R$7.50 for call options.

These options were measured at fair value in a recurring manner, as required by IAS 39/CPC 38. The fair value of the options that are part of this transaction was calculated based on the following assumptions:

 

Valuation technique(s) and key information

We used the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model, which aims to obtain the fair price of the options involving the following variables: value of the asset, strike price of the option, interest rate, term and volatility.

Significant unobservable inputs

Volatility determined based on the average market pricing calculations, future dollar and other variables applicable to this specific transaction, with average variation of 19.65%.

Relationship between unobservable inputs and fair value (sensitivity)

A slight rise in long-term volatility, analyzed separately, would result in an insignificant increase in fair value. If the volatility were 10% higher and all the other variables remained constant, the net carrying amount (asset) would decrease by R$ 477, resulting in a net asset of R$ 51,581.

 

The following table reconciles the opening and closing balances of the call and put options for the year ended by December 31,2017, as required by IFRS 13/CPC 46:

 The fair value measurement of these financial instruments was recognized as finance income in the statement of profit or loss for the period, and no effects were recognized in other comprehensive income.

c)     Sensitivity analysis

In compliance with CVM Instruction No. 475/2008, the Group performed sensitivity analyses of the main risks to which their financial instruments (including derivatives) are exposed, mainly comprising changes in exchange and interest rates.

When the risk exposure is considered asset, the risk to be taken into account is a reduction in the pegged indexes, due to a consequent negative impact on the Group’s profit or loss. Similarly, if the risk exposure is considered liability, the risk is of an increase in the pegged indexes and the consequent negative effect on the profit or loss. The Group therefore quantify the risks in terms of the net exposure of the variables (dollar, euro, CDI, IGP-M, IPCA, TJLP and SELIC), as shown below:

c.1)  Changes in exchange rates

Considering that the net exchange rate exposure at December 31, 2017 is maintained, the simulation of the effects by type of financial instrument for three different scenarios would be:

(a) The exchange rate considered at 12/31/2017 was R$ 3.31 per US$ 1.00 and R$ 3.97 per € 1.00.
(b) As per the exchange rate curves obtained from information made available by B3 S.A., with the exchange rate being considered at R$ 3.46 and R$ 4.24, and the currency depreciation at 4.52% and 6.85%, for US$ and €, respectively.
(c) As required by CVM Instruction No. 475/2008, the percentage increases in the ratios applied refer to the information made available by the B3 S.A..
(d) Owing to the characteristics of this derivative (zero-cost collar), the notional amount is presented in US$.

 

Except for the zero-cost collar, as the net exchange exposure of the dollar and euro for the other derivative instruments is an asset, the risk is a drop in the dollar and euro, therefore, the exchange rate is appreciated by 25% and 50% in relation to the probable exchange rate.

 

c.2) Changes in interest rates

Assuming that: (i) the scenario of net exposure of the financial instruments indexed to floating interest rates at December 31, 2017 is maintained, and (ii) the respective annual indexes accumulated in the last 12 months, for this base date, remain stable (CDI 6.89% p.a.; IGP-M -0.52% p.a.; TJLP 7.00% p.a.; IPCA 2.76% p.a. and SELIC 9.7% p.a.), the effects that would be recognized in the consolidated financial statements for the next 12 months would be a net finance cost of R$ 764,150 (costs of CDI R$ 669,661, TJLP R$ 276,141 and SELIC R$ 36,609, and finance income of IGP-M R$ 298 and IPCA R$ 141,152).

Independent auditors’ report on the individual and consolidated financial statements

 

 

To the Directors and Shareholders of CPFL Energia S.A.

Campinas - SP

 

 

Opinion

We have audited the individual and consolidated financial statements of CPFL Energia S.A. (the “Company”), identified as the parent company and consolidated, respectively, which comprise the statement of financial position as of December 31, 2017 and the respective statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholder´s equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and the corresponding notes comprising significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

 

In our opinion, the aforementioned financial statements present fairly, in all material aspects, the individual and consolidated financial position of CPFL Energia S.A. as of December 31, 2017, and of its operations and cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil and in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

 

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the “Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the individual and consolidated financial statements” section of our report. We are independent of the Company and its subsidiaries in accordance with the ethical requirements of Ethics Standards Boards for Accountants and Professional Standard issued by Federal Accounting Council, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

 

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the individual and consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

 

 

a) Revenue recognition from energy distributed, but not billed

(See notes 3.10 and 25 to the individual and consolidated financial statements)

 

Not billed revenue recognized by the Company corresponds to the electricity distributed, but not billed to the consumers, and its  billing is measured based on the reading cycles that, in some cases, exceed the period of accounting closing. The recognition of the not billed revenue involves specificities that are related to the process, which take into consideration all of the historical data, the systems configuration, as well as Company´s judgments in order to estimate the consumption by consumers. Due to the relevance of the amounts and the judgments involved that can affect the amount of the revenues in the consolidated financial statements and in the amount of the investment recorded under the equity method in the individual financial statements, we considered this matter as significant for our audit.

 

 

139


 
 

 

How this matter has been conducted in our audit

We evaluated the design, implementation, and effectiveness of key internal controls related to the determination of the amount of the revenue recognized from energy distributed, but not billed. We involved our information technology specialists to evaluate the systems and the technology environment used in the determination of the balances recorded. We analyzed the key assumptions used by the Company in the development of such estimates, such as the technical and commercial losses index. In addition, we tested the integrity and accuracy of the data used in the calculation of the estimate made by the Company and performed a valuation test of the revenue recognized from energy distributed, but not invoiced, by comparing the amounts recognized by the Company with the  the assumptions resulting from our independent auditing tests. We also assessed whether the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements were in accordance with the applicable standards.

 

Based on the evidence obtained from the procedures summarized above, we consider acceptable the revenue recognition from energy distributed, but not billed, in the context of the consolidated financial statements for year ended December 31, 2017, taken as a whole.

 

 

b) Impairment of the non-financial assets

(See notes 3.6, 13 and 14 to the individual and consolidated financial statements)

 

The Company has amounts of R$ 9,787,125 thousand and R$ 10,589,824 thousand in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2017, related to fixed assets and intangible assets, respectively. The Company analyzes the existence of triggers of loss due to impairment of its cash generating units (“UGCs”) and carries out tests of recoverability of the assets for which indicators have been identified, using the discounted cash flow method, based on certain assumptions. Due to the degree of judgments involved and the impact that any changes in the assumptions might have on the value of such assets in the consolidated financial statements and in the amount of investment recorded under the equity method in the individual financial statements, we considered this matter as significant for our audit work.

 

How this matter has been conducted in our audit

We evaluated the design, implementation, and effectiveness of the key internal controls related to the preparation and review of the business plan, estimates and tests of impairment made available by the Company. We evaluated the adequacy of the estimate prepared by the Company, the determination of the UGCs and the methodology used to perform the test of impairment. With the assistance of our corporate finance specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the key assumptions and technical data used by the Company for conduction of the recoverability test of its assets, such as the discount rate, the energy sales volume and price, the continuity periods of the operation and expenditures for repair of equipment, and compared the sum of the discounted cash flows (value in use) and of the fair value net of selling expenses with the amount recorded in the fixed assets and intangible assets of the Company for determination of the impairment. In addition, we also considered the adequacy of the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, related to the assumptions and judgments used in the test of the impairment of its assets.

 

During the course of our audit, we have identified misstatements that would affect the measurement and disclosure of the net realizable value of non-financial assets, which we not recorded by Management, as they were concluded as immaterial. Based on the evidence obtained from the procedures summarized above, we consider that the net realizable value of non- financial assets, as well as the related disclosures, is acceptable in the context of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, taken as a whole.

 

140


 
 

 

 

c) Impairment of the deferred tax assets                                

(See notes 3.11 and 9 to the individual and consolidated financial statements)

 

The individual and consolidated financial statements include the amounts of R$ 145,779 thousand and R$ 943,199 thousand, respectively, related to tax credits over tax loss carryforwards and temporary differences, for which the realization is supported by estimates of future profitability prepared by the Company based on its judgments and supported in its business plan. Due to the uncertainties that are inherent to the process of determining the future taxable income estimates, which support the recognition of the impairment of the tax credits, and the fact that any change in methodologies and assumptions for the determination of estimates that may  have a material impact the value of such assets and, consequently, the individual and consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, we considered this matter as significant for our audit.

 

How this matter has been conducted in our audit  

We evaluated the design, implementation and operational effectiveness of the key internal controls related to the preparation and review of the business plan, budget, technical studies and analyses as to the probability of existence of future taxable income. In addition, with the support of our corporate finance specialists, we analyzed the reasonableness and consistency of the data and assumptions and of the methodologies used by the Company, particularly those relative to the projection of future taxable income. This includes the comparison of such assumptions with the data obtained from external sources, as well as the projected economic growth, volume, and price of sales of energy, the continuity of the operations, expenditures with repair of the equipment, the inflation of costs and the discount rates. With the support of our tax specialists, we evaluated the deferred tax calculation in which the current tax rates are applied, as well as the study of the recoverability of the deferred tax assets. We also assessed whether the disclosures made in the individual and consolidated financial statements were in accordance with the applicable standards.

 

Based on the evidence obtained from the procedures summarized above, we consider that the net realizable value of deferred tax assets is acceptable in the context of the individual and consolidated financial statements related to the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2017, taken as a whole.

 

 

d) Acquisition of AES Sul

(See our notes 3.15 and 12.5 to the consolidated financial statements)

 

During fiscal year of 2016, the Company acquired AES Sul Distribuidora Gaúcha de Energia S.A. for the amount of R$ 1,591 million and reported the preliminary amounts of the fair value allocations of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2016. In 2017, the Company retrospectively adjusted the preliminary amounts recognized on the date of acquisition to reflect the new information obtained in relation to facts and circumstances existing on the date of acquisition. The accounting of such acquisition required the use of estimates and judgments by the Company in relation to the accounting treatment, to the determination of the fair value of assets acquired and of the liabilities assumed, to the disclosures of the information related to such transactions, as well as the adequacy of the relevant accounting policies of the acquired company. Consequently, we consider the measurement, accounting, and disclosure of the effects of the mentioned acquisition as main auditing matter.

 

141


 
 

 

How this matter has been conducted in our audit

We evaluated the design, implementation and operational effectiveness of the key internal controls relative to the identification of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the final of the purchase price allocation and accounting record of the allocation of the price and disclosure. We evaluated, with the technical support of our specialists in corporate finance, the integrity and accuracy of the calculation models prepared by the Company in the process of identification and final valuation of the assets and liabilities. In addition, with the support of our specialists, we evaluated the final fair value allocations of the fixed assets. We also assessed the adequacy of the disclosures related to the acquisition and to the adjustments of the preliminary amounts recognized on the date of acquisition in the consolidated financial statements.

 

Based on the audit procedures performed to test the measurement adjustments related to the acquisition of AES Sul prepared by the entity, and on the audit evidence obtained, we considered acceptable the recognition and disclosure of the business combination in the context of the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2017, taken as a whole.

 

 

Other matters

 

Statements of Value Added

The individual and consolidated statements of value added (DVA) for the year ended December 31, 2017, prepared under the responsibility of the Company's management, and presented as supplementary information for IFRS purposes, were submitted for the auditing procedures jointly with audit of the Company's financial statements. For the purposes of forming our opinion, we evaluate whether these statements are reconciled with the financial statements and accounting records, as applicable, and if their form and content are in accordance with the criteria as defined in Technical Pronouncement CPC 09 - Statement of Added Value. In our opinion, this statement of value added have been properly prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the criteria defined in this Technical Pronouncement and is consistent with the individual and consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

 

Audit of the corresponding balances related to the comparative year

The corresponding amounts related to the statement of financial position as of December 31, 2016, the statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholder´s equity, cash flows and  value added (supplementary information), related to the year then ended, presented for comparative purposes, were audited by other independent auditors who issued an unqualified report dated March 13, 2017.

 

 

Other information that accompanies the individual and consolidated financial statements and the auditor’s report

Management is responsible for the other information, which comprises the Management report.

 

Our opinion on the individual and consolidated financial statements does not cover the Management report and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

 

In connection with our audit of the individual and consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the Management Report and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this Management Report, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

 

142


 
 

 

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the individual and consolidated financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the individual and consolidated financial statements in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil and in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial statements are free from material misstatement, due to fraud or error.

 

In preparing the individual and consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

 

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

 

Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the individual and consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the individual and consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these individual and consolidated financial statements.

 

As part of an audit in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

·            Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the individual and consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

 

·            Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.

 

·            Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

 

143


 
 

 

·            Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the individual and consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

 

·            Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the individual and consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

 

·            Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the group entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the individual and consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit, and therefore, responsible for our audit opinion.

 

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

 

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

 

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter, or, when in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
