It should be noted that the balance sheet takes into account the SPEs consolidated by Furnas: Santo Antônio HPP (as of 3Q22), Baguari and Retiro Baixo HPPs (as of 4Q23), whether in terms of resources, sales or average prices. The SPE consolidated by Eletronorte, Teles Pires HPP (from 4Q23) is being considered in the same way.

1. Independent Energy Producers (IEP) contracts resulting from the Amazonas Distribuidora de-verticalization process, the thermal plant availability contracts and the Assured Capacity Quotas are not included in the balance sheet, whether in resources, requirements (sales) or average prices. These resources are presented in order to make up the total resources considered.

2. Own Resources include the Decotization plants (new IEPs) and the New Grants (Sobradinho, Itumbiara, Tucuruí, Curuá-Una and Mascarenhas de Moraes). For the hydroelectric projects, an estimate of GFIS2 was considered, i.e. the Assured Capacity taking into account the Adjustment Factors due to Internal Losses, Losses in the Basic Grid and Availability as well as adjustments due to the particularities of the portfolio.

3. The revised Assured Capacity values as defined in Ministerial Order No. 709/GM/MME of November 30, 2022 are taken into account.

4. With the decotization process, the plants currently under the quota regime are granted a new concession under the Independent Energy Producer (IEP) regime, which will take place gradually over a 5-year period starting in 2023. The Assured Capacity values were defined in Ministerial Order GM/MME No. 544/21.

5. Considering the new concession grants from 2023 onwards for the Sobradinho, Itumbiara, Tucuruí, Curuá-Una and Mascarenhas de Moraes plants, whose Assured Capacity values were defined in Ministerial Order GM/MME No. 544/21.

7. Decotization takes place gradually over a 5-year period starting in 2023. The Assured Capacity values considered from 2023 onwards were those defined in Ministerial Order GM/MME No. 544/21.

 

8. The figures show an estimate of decontracted energy. For 2023, the value used was 87.1%. For the other years, an average historical GSF value from 2018 to 2023 was used, of 81.8%. Source: CCEE, obtained from the CCEE website, at the following link: https://www.ccee.org.br/dados-e-analises/dados-geracao (in Portuguese), under the MRE option in the panel. It should be noted that this is only an estimate, based on facts that occurred in the past. The graph with the historical GSF values is shown on the page 7 of this report.

(1)

In 1Q24, the difference between the regulatory and IFRS generation revenue consists of the different treatment of Amazonas Energia's customer billing of R$432 million, which does not cause a difference between IFRS and regulatory EBITDA.

 

2.1.

Operating Revenues

2.1.1.

Generation

Recurring IFRS generation revenue was R$5.933 billion in 1Q24, down R$683 million on 1Q23, due to the non-recognition of revenue related to Amazonas Energia of R$432 million and a decline of R$149 million due to the sale of Candiota TPP.

Recurring regulatory revenue was R$6.365 billion, R$432 million higher than recurring IFRS generation revenue, since the revenue related to Amazonas Energia is recognized and then fully provisioned.

Earnings Release 1Q24     13

 

Power supply for distribution companies

Revenue from power supply for distribution companies is obtained from customers who are not end consumers, such as distributors, traders and generators. In 1Q24, revenue from power supply was R$3,683 million, down R$338 million YoY, mainly due to: (a) the sale of the Candiota plant with a reduction of 226 aMW and R$149 million at CGT Eletrosul, in line with Eletrobras' decarbonization strategy to be Net Zero by 2030; (b) write-off of Amazonas Energia S.A.'s revenues, amounting to
R$432 million, due to the fact that Eletronorte began not to recognize the effects of the invoiced electricity supply contract as the customer defaulted; and (c) reduction in the ACL price, with effects partially offset by the revenue increase of R$256 million related to the consolidation of Teles Pires, which took place in 4Q23.

Power supply for end consumers

Revenue from power supply for end consumers, in turn, is obtained directly from the end consumer, for example industries and retail. In 1Q24, supply revenues amounted to R$761 million, down R$313 million YoY. This reduction is mainly related to the lower volume of energy sold to industrial consumers covered by Law 13,182/15, particularly energy from the Itumbiara HPP in Furnas, and was caused by unilateral cancellations by customers of part of the contracted supply volumes. The reductions amounted to R$160 million, R$124 million and R$37 million at Furnas, Chesf and Eletronorte, respectively.

CCEE Revenue

Revenues from the CCEE (short term market) were R$701 million, up R$266 million YoY, due to the increase in energy settled (more decontracted energy available, due to the gradual decotization of the plants).

Operation and Maintenance Revenue - Plants Renewed by Law 12,783/2013

Operation and maintenance revenues were R$787 million, down R$242 million YoY, mainly reflecting the gradual decotization process of quota-holding plants (20% each year), mitigated by the effects of the annual adjustment of the Annual Generation Revenue - RAG, according to Homologatory Resolutions No. 3,068/2022 (2022-2023 cycle) and No. 3,225/2023 (2023-2024 cycle), impacting Eletronorte, Chesf and Furnas.

2.1.2.

Transmission

Transmission revenue was R$4,559 million in 1Q24, up 8% YoY, with an increase of R$302 million in construction revenue and R$265 million in O&M, offset by a reduction of R$225 million in contractual transmission revenue.

O&M Revenue

O&M revenue increased by R$265 million YoY, mainly due to the publication of ANEEL;s Homologatory Resolution No. 3,216/2023, effective as of July/2023, which mainly includes the tariff readjustment for the 23/24 cycle, as well as the partial recognition of the Periodic Tariff Review of some tendered contracts. Eletronorte's O&M revenue from Contract 058/2001 increased by R$135 million. The increases at the other companies were as follows: Furnas R$83 million, CGT Eletrosul R$32 million and Chesf R$13 million.

Construction Revenue

Construction revenue for the periods is directly related to the investments made (appropriated and allocated) in transmission projects in progress. Construction revenue totaled R$586 million, up by R$302 million YoY, mainly reflecting works at (a) Furnas, with an invested amount of R$158 million in the renewed contract 062/2001; and (b) Eletronorte, in the amount of R$152 million in the 058/2001 contract.

Contractual Revenue

The contractual (financial) revenue is associated with the application of inflationary indices to the balances of the contract assets of each concession. The accumulated IPCA from Jan- Mar/2023 was 2.0%, and from Jan-Mar/2024 was 1.82 %. As for the IGP-M, the percentage changed from 0.60% to 0.29% in the same periods.

The impact on the Eletrobras companies was: (a) Furnas: -R$ 100 million, particularly contract 062 (RBNI R$13 million and RBSE -R$ 133million); (b) Chesf: -R$ 72 million; (c) Eletronorte: -R$ 42 million; and (d) CGT Eletrosul: -R$ 11 million. The negative variation observed in the RBSE values is due to the lower inflation in the period compared and the reduction of its average base due to the amortization of the existing balance.

It should be noted that the IPCA in 4Q23 was 0.78% compared to 1.82% in 1Q24, which had a positive impact of R$211 million at Furnas, R$155 million at Chesf, R$95 million at Eletronorte and R$52 million at CGT Eletrosul.

Such effect is due to the application of IFRS rules and differs from regulatory revenue, which was adjusted in July 2023, according to Homologatory Resolution No. 3.216/23.

To check revenue by company, check the financial statements on the IR website.

 

Regulatory Revenue

The YoY variation in the regulatory transmission revenue was due to: (i) the RBSE re-profiling of approximately R$915 million, due to the entry of the new 23-24 cycle; (ii) the monetary restatement by the IPCA (most contracts) or IGP-M, of around R$120 million; and (iii) the new investments, tariff revisions, adjustment portions and others, of around R$191 million. It should be noted that ANEEL has extended the approval of the full RAP resulting from the Period Tariff Review for concession contracts 057/2001, 058/2001, 061/2001 and 062/2001 to 2024.

It should also be noted that the main difference between regulatory and IFRS revenues in 1Q24 is related to the increase in RBSE's RAP as a result of the re-profiling reported above. Under IFRS, the increase in RAP due to the re-profiling did not result in revenue recognition, since the balance of the contractual asset already provides for the increases in RAP, while under the regulatory method revenue is only recognized when the RAP is invoiced.

Approved RAP x Regulatory Revenue 1Q24

The graph below shows the reconciliation between Approved RAP and regulatory revenue in 1Q24. Approved RAP corresponds to the RAP defined by Aneel for the availability of the facilities under Eletrobras' responsibility for the 2023/2024 cycle, as well as the Approved Adjustment Portion (AP) established by Aneel through Homologatory Resolution 3,216/2023, both proportioned for the quarter.

Earnings Release 1Q24     17

 

 

The discount on the variable portion is associated with the unavailability of transmission facilities, as regulated by Module 4 of the transmission rules. The Anticipation Apportionment is related to the difference arising from the collection deficit or surplus that occurs in the calculation carried out by the ONS, considered in the Credit Notice issued by the ONS, being offset through the Adjustment Portion, and should be treated as a pass through.

The CDE/Proinfa amounts refer to the energy development account and the incentive program for alternative sources of electricity, considered in the Credit Notices issued by the ONS. The CDE Fund with PIS/Cofins taxes refers to the amounts not collected as a result of the discounts on tariffs, which are compensated through the Adjustment Portion. It should be noted that these revenues should be treated as pass throughs, given that the transmission companies have the role of collecting these sector charges.

1 Effect of voluntary dismissal plans (PDVs) totaling R$33 million in the period; 2 The amounts of non-recurring provisions include: (a) reversal of ECE of R$355 million; (b) provision for onerous contracts of R$39 million; (c) reversal of estimated losses on investments of R$15 million; and (d) other provisions of R$474 million.

2.3.1.

Energy Purchased for Resale

Energy purchased for resale totaled R$737 million in 1Q24, up by R$ 98 million YoY, mainly due to: (a) an update by the IPCA in the contract prices by subsidiaries in the amount of around R$26 million; (b) Eletronorte, up R$28 million, of which R$20 million refers to the consolidation of Teles Pires, with no counterpart in 1Q23; and (c) Chesf, up R$17 million, as a result of additional 18 aMW in electricity purchased for resale compared to the previous period.

2.3.2.

Charges on Use of Electricity Grid

Charges on use of electricity grid totaled R$972 million in 1Q24, up R$162 million YoY. The variation in the Transmission System Usage Charge is justified by ANEEL Homologatory Resolutions No. 3066/2022 (2022-2023 cycle) and No. 3217/2023 (2023-2024 cycle). The impacts were: Eletronorte, +R$115 million, of which R$96 million refers to the consolidation of the Teles Pires plant, Chesf +R$33 million, Furnas +R$30 million and CGT Eletrosul -R$7 million reflecting the sale of Candiota.

2.3.3.

Fuel for electricity production

Costs associated with the use of fuel to produce electricity totaled R$506 million in 1Q24, up R$64 million YoY, with the key drivers being : (a) Eletronorte with R$136 million net of recovery of expenses, referring to the increase in cost and volume of natural gas of R$105 million due to dispatches Outside the Order of Merit and Price (FOMP) requested by the National System Operator (ONS), an increase of R$23 million in ICMS tax reversal on sales of Mauá 3 TPP due to ICMS exemption outside the state of Amazonas, and a reduction of R$63 million due to a 36.45% decrease in the collection of ancillary natural gas expenses (ship or pay of transportation and margin) with a consequent reduction of R$70 million in the recovery of CCC expenses; (b) CGT Eletrosul saw a reduction of R$33 million reflecting the sale of the Candiota TPP and (c) Furnas saw a reduction of R$40 million due to the lower dispatch of the Santa Cruz TPP in 1Q24.

2.3.4.

Construction

Costs related to construction totaled R$642 million in 1Q24, up R$244 million YoY, with the following standing out: (a) Furnas, up R$157 million due to contract 062-2001-RBNIs; (b) Eletronorte, up R$152 million, primarily due to the renewed contract 058/2001; (c) CGT Eletrosul, R$25 million more investments in transmission, specifically in reinforcements and improvements to meet ANEEL's regulatory demands. This was partially offset by (d) Chesf, with a R$ 90 million reduction.

2.3.5.

PMSO – Personnel, Material, Services and Other

Personnel

Recurring personnel costs totaled R$945 million in 1Q24, down 7% on the R$1,020 million of 1Q23, mainly reflecting the savings generated by the Voluntary Dismissal Plans (VDPs) totaling R$284 million partially offset by the effects of the 2023-24 Collective Bargaining Agreement of 4.18% (R$35 million), new hires (R$44 million), R$82 million pro rata profit sharing, which in 2023 was not recognized in 1Q23, and miscellaneous increases (R$37 million). It should be noted that the Personnel figure includes R$16 million related to compensatory bonuses for salary readjustment to align the Company's practices with market standards.

Non-recurring effects: Voluntary Dismissal Plans (VDPs) totaling R$ 33 million in the period.

Material

Material costs totaled R$46 million, up by R$1 million YoY, with no significant variations and no non-recurring effects in the quarter.

Services

Recurring service costs totaled R$439 million, down R$28 million YoY, mainly reflecting: (a) R$58 million cost reduction at Furnas due to the reclassification of some benefits to the Personnel account and a reduction in consultancy services; (b) R$12 million decrease at CGT reflecting the sale of Candiota; (c) R$8 million decrease at Chesf; (d) R$11 million reduction at Eletronorte. This decline was partially offset by a R$32 million increase at the holding company, with the emphasis on expenses of R$20 million for legal services, as well as R$13 million for auditing, consulting and IT services. The services account had no non-recurring effects in the quarter.

Other

Other recurring costs and expenses totaled R$165 million in 1Q24, down R$158 million YoY, mainly reflecting: (a) a 94% reduction in retiree benefits, especially at Chesf, which were reclassified as of 3Q23; (b) a 70% reduction in indemnities, losses and fines due to events that occurred in 1Q23 and did not occur in 1Q24, such as a R$13 million loss on the write-off of receivables at the Holding Company, R$24 million in losses on the deactivation of non-reversible assets at Furnas and miscellaneous convictions of R$10 million; (c) in insurance there was a 24% reduction related to the optimization of the corporate insurance structure with unified contracts for transportation insurance, D&O, operational risk, among others, for the total amount of R$9 million.

§

Provision for Litigation: went from a provision of R$550 million in 1Q23 to a reversal of R$139 million in 1Q24, with the main factors being: (a) reversal at the Parent Company of R$338 million in compulsory loan contingencies, due to an economically favorable result in the agreements, in the amount of R$357 million; (b) reversal at Chesf of two civil lawsuits for R$131 million in dispute over land expropriated for the formation of the Sobradinho HPP lake; and (c) a variation of R$141 million at Furnas, with emphasis on labor constitutions of R$23 million, civil constitutions of R$35 million, regulatory constitutions of R$15 million and land constitutions of R$10 million.

§

Onerous contracts: R$39 million due to the reversal of onerousness in the Jirau Energia contract by R$ 13 million and the revision of the calculations of onerous contracts at CGT Eletrosul by R$ 24 million.

§

Estimated allowance for doubtful accounts (ADA) - consumers and resellers: rose from a provision of R$57 million in 1Q23 to R$132 million in 1Q24, particularly Chesf's provision of R$66 million on consumers and concessionaires in transmission and Eletronorte's provision of R$78 million related to the warranties from Amazonas Energia to Breitner Energética. This amount includes guarantees for the months of Sep-Dec/23 and Jan-Mar/24 of around R$11 million per month.

§

Result of actuarial reports: provision of R$128 million relating to the cost of interest and the cost of current services defined in the reports for the 2024 financial year, which are now recorded on an accrual basis when compared to the entries made previously at the end of the year.

EBITDA

2.5.1.

Adjusted IFRS EBITDA

Adjusted IFRS EBITDA reached R$4,505 million, down 19% YoY. The drop in generation revenues, added to the increase in operating costs, was partially offset by the positive effects of the increase in transmission revenues and PMSO reduction.

Adjusted Regulatory EBITDA

In addition, for a more thorough analysis of the Company's cash dynamics, it is recommended to evaluate the performance of the Adjusted Regulatory EBITDA.

In this case, the 3% increase in net revenue was leveraged by a reduction in costs and expenses and an improvement in the result from equity holdings, which led to a 5% increase in EBITDA when comparing 1Q23 with 1Q24.

In 1Q24, the adjusted financial result was negative R$2,988 million, compared to negative R$2,466 million in 1Q23. The main YoY variations were:

§

Lower debt charges, which went down from R$1,852 million in 1Q23 to R$ 1,619 million in 1Q24 due to the IPCA variation of 2.1% 1Q24 x 1.4% 1Q23 coupled with CDI reduction.

§

Monetary restatement (Selic) on the contingency provision for compulsory loans declined from R$377 million in 1Q23 to R$ 207 million in 1Q24, due to the reduction in the provision inventory and the variation of the Selic rate.

§

CDE obligation charges and CDE monetary updates (IPCA financial expenses + charges on the outstanding balance of CDE obligations, the charge being 7.6% per year) amounted to R$ 1.1 billion in 1Q24. These obligations were established by Law 14,182/21 (Privatization of Eletrobras), as one of the conditions for obtaining the new concession grants for power generation for another 30 years. The charges were calculated based on the data published in CNPE Resolution 015/2021: (a) the present value of the obligation; (b) the future flow of payments; and (c) the payment term.

Earnings Release 1Q24     25

 

§

Hydrographic basin revitalization charges (5.67% charge), of R$85 million in 1Q24, and Monetary updates - river basins of R$87 million. These obligations were established by Law 14,182/21 (Privatization of Eletrobras), as one of the conditions for obtaining the new concession grants for power generation, for another 30 years. The charges were calculated based on the data published in CNPE Resolution 015/2021: (a) the present value of the obligation; (b) the future flow of payments; and (c) the payment term.

§

Variations in derivatives: positive variation in derivatives in the amount of R$ 161 million mainly due to gains of R$ 72 million with derivatives at Eletronorte in 1Q24, influenced by the variation in the quantity of energy, macroeconomic indices (dollar and Selic) and the aluminum price projection on the London Metal Exchange - LME, which is used as a benchmark for payment of the premium provided for in the contract with Albras.

§

Other financial expenses: effect of R$ 27 million, mainly due to the increase in the items at Furnas for interest on arrears without the payment of COFINS in the amount of approximately R$ 18 million and bank guarantees in the amount of approximately R$ 5 million.

§

Variation in the fair value of protected debt (hedge) net of derivative: In 2Q23, Eletrobras entered into a derivative transaction called Cross Currency Swap, aiming at hedging the issued bonds against exchange rate fluctuations, assuming a liability position in Reais and the change in value of the liability linked to the variable interest curve in Reais (CDI). In 1Q24, there was a negative effect of R$191 million as a result of the variation in the nominal value of the asset during the period, as well as a depreciation of the notional dollar against the real, which did not occur in 1Q23.

Debt and receivables

 

Gross debt reached R$60.8 billion in 1Q24, in line with 4Q23 and an increase of R$2.7 billion vs 1Q23. In 1Q24 we raised R$493 million in bank debt.

In 1Q24, considering the new funding/amortizations and the 100 bps reduction in the basic interest rate (SELIC), the average term of the debt was reduced by 1.5 months and cost decreased 58 bps, resulting in an average cost of CDI + 0.9288% p.a. at the end of the period.

The net debt/adjusted regulatory EBITDA ratio reached 2.0x in 1Q24. For covenant purposes the net debt/ EBITDA ratio is 2.06x in 1Q24 and 1.95x in 1Q23.

In April, we carried out Eletrobras’ first joint and coordinated issuance with standardized instruments, which resulted in lower costs. We issued R$5.5 billion in debentures: R$3 billion in Eletrobras, R$1 billion in Chesf, R$1 billion in Eletronorte and R$500 million in CGT Eletrosul with rates of CDI +0.85% for 5 years, CDI + 1% for 7 years and IPCA +6.3423% for 7 years for CGT and Eletronorte. Of the total R$5.5 billion raised in Apr/24, around R$3.4 billion was used to repay debts in 2024.

RBSE

The RBSE RAP estimate of the Economic Component for the 2023-2028 tariff cycle presented in the 4Q23 earnings release was defined based on the information published by ANEEL in the 2018 Periodic RAP Review. It should be noted that this portion of the revenue is under Public Consultation in CP ANEEL 12/2024, which aims to obtain subsidies regarding the RAP Review of the Extended Transmission Concession Contracts under the terms of Law No. 12,783/2013, with a review date of July 1, 2023.

Based on the preliminary data published in CP 12/2024, the preliminary net remuneration base (BRL) forecast for July/2027 is around R$ 6.8 billion, which may change after the conclusion of the Public Consultation.

Once the result of the 2023 Periodic RAP Review is approved, we will present a new table with updated values.

It is worth noting that, in accordance with MME Ordinance No. 120/2016, the undepreciated values of the assets that make up the RBSE economic component must constitute the companies' remuneration base, so the revenue from this portion does not have a pre-defined closing date. Revenue will be recognized as long as there is an undepreciated asset base. It is worth noting that land and easements do not depreciate.

RBSE Financial Component

In April 2023, ANEEL issued Technical Note 085/2023, which addresses the comments on the calculations presented as part of the payment of RBSE's financial component in Technical Note 085/2022-SGT/ANEEL of June 2022, which in turn revisited the requests for reconsideration filed as part of payment of RBSE's financial component and re-profiling. The document does not constitute a decision by ANEEL, and therefore has no practical effect as of the date of publication of this document, since it depends on a decision by the ANEEL board, and therefore had no impact on Homologatory Resolution 3,216/23, which established the RAPs for the 2023-2024 cycle. The Company continues to monitor and act on the issue so that the assumptions, methodologies and calculations considered so far remain in force.

8.2.       Appendix 2 – Compulsory Loan

In the context of the compulsory loan on electricity (ECE) lawsuits, which discuss the monetary update of book credits, the Company has been taking steps to mitigate the risks involved and has created the Compulsory Loan Department, with the aim of strengthening strategic action in legal defenses and seeking court settlements with discounts and full settlement of the respective lawsuits.

As a result of these negotiations, Eletrobras reduced its inventory of such loans by R$1.137 billion to R$16.027 billion in 1Q24, mainly as a result of the agreements reached, which resulted in a R$441 million reduction in the provision, with a direct positive effect on the bottom line, offset by the net constitution of provision in the amount of R$85 million as a result of unfavorable decisions in specific lawsuits. Eletrobras is taking legal action to reverse these unfavorable decisions.

In the financial results, monetary update declined to R$207 million in 1Q24 from R$377 million in 1Q23 due to the reduction in the provision inventory, as mentioned above.

Since 3Q22, when negotiations on the compulsory loan began, and the inventory of provisions for lawsuits involving book-credits for the compulsory loans was R$25.8 billion, there has been a reduction of R$9.8 billion in this inventory, despite the accumulated monetary update of
R$1.7 billion between the periods, which is in line with the Company's strategy of reducing legal liabilities. The legal agreements reached led to the elimination of off-balance sheet risk of
R$6.5 billion, of which R$698 million in possible and R$3.8 billion in remote.

Graph 12 – Total Inventory Compulsory Loan Provision (R$ bn)

 

 

 

 

 

* Considering that Eletrobras has already entered into legal agreements with Creditors that are only awaiting ratification for due payment, the amounts have been reclassified to liabilities.
