ELETROBRAS RELEASES RESULTS FOR
THE 3rd QUARTER OF 2024

 

Eletrobras' operating and financial results in 3Q24 reinforce its solid financial position, enabling the Company to accelerate investments in asset modernization, expansion through transmission or generation auctions, operational streamlining and the effective reduction of legacy liabilities and contingencies.

 

Regulatory net operating revenue grew by 8.2% to R$10.6 billion YoY, mainly reflecting the increase in generation revenue due to the renegotiation of the hydrological risk of the Tucuruí Plant which had a R$1.3 billion impact. This increase was partially offset by the drop in transmission revenue, reflecting the effect of the Annual Permitted Revenue (RAP) revision. It is also worth highlighting the net reversal of provision for the sale of energy to Amazonas Energia, in the amount of R$347 million.

 

Adjusted regulatory EBITDA reached R$6.8 billion, up R$544 million compared to 3Q23.

MAIN HIGHLIGHTS OF 3Q24 RESULTS


Regulatory Net Operating Revenue: up 8.2% to R$10.6 billion YoY:

 

+ R$1.3 billion impact from renegotiation of Tucuruí plant's hydrological risk

 

R$ 695 million YoY reduction in RAP due to the 2024 RTP, of which R$ 328 million refers to PA Postponement

 

Adjusted regulatory PMSO: R$1,702 million (up 1% YoY), impacted by the following adjustments: (a) R$2 million VDP adjustment in Personnel, (b) R$221 million write-off of court deposits in Others, and (c) R$89 million payment of court sentences for cases prior to 2022, in Others.

 

Provisions: net reversal of R$405 million, positively impacted by R$376 million related to Amazonas Energia from previous months and constitution of a R$29 million provision related to the unpaid portion of the R$58 million of energy billed by Balbina plant in 3Q24.

 

Adjusted regulatory EBITDA: R$6,775 million (up 8.7% YoY) reflecting the effects above and including R$610 million from equity income.

 

Adjusted IFRS net income: R$7,563 million (up 588% YoY) due to higher EBITDA coupled with the recognition of remeasurement of transmission assets after the 2024 RTP for a net amount of R$5,417 million (which had a positive impact on IFRS EBITDA but was neutral on regulatory EBITDA).

1.1.Generation Segments

Generation Assets

In 3Q24, we operated 86 plants, of which 47 were hydroelectric, 7 thermal, 31 wind and 1 solar, taking into account corporate ventures, shared ownership and holdings via SPEs. Compared to 2Q24, there was a reduction of 13 wind farms, due to the sale of the Chapada do Piauí I and II wind farms (in which the Holding had a stake) and an increase of 1 wind farm due to the entry into commercial operation of CGT Eletrosul's Coxilha Negra 2 wind farm. As a result, at quarter’s end wind farms totaled 31, down from 43.

Our total installed capacity was 44,191 MW in 3Q24, which represents 22% of the total installed in Brazil. Of this total, 97% is derived from clean sources, with low greenhouse gas emissions.

It should be noted that the balance sheet considers the SPEs consolidated by Eletrobras: Santo Antônio HPP (as of 3Q22), Baguari HPP and Retiro Baixo HPP (as of 4Q23), whether in terms of resources, sales or average prices. In the same way, it considers the SPE consolidated by Eletronorte: Teles Pires HPPs (as from 4Q23).

1. The 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 this energy balance, whether in resources, requirements (sales) or average prices. These resources are presented only for 2024 and are not considered for the following years due to divestments.

2. Own Resources include the plants migrating from the quota regime to the independent production regime (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. The plants currently under the quota regime will be granted a new concession under the Independent Energy Producer (IEP) regime, gradually over a 5-year period starting in 2023 (“Decotization”). The Assured Capacity values were defined in Ministerial Order GM/MME No. 544/21.

5. Taking into account 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.

6. The balances from 2025 to 2027 consider around 200 aMW of intercompany transactions, impacting the energy purchase and sales lines on the ACL.

2.1.Operating Income

IFRS Generation Revenue

In 3Q24, recurring IFRS generation revenue was R$8.348 billion, an increase of R$1,930 million over 3Q23. The main reasons for the increase were: (a) the renegotiation of Tucuruí's hydrological risk, with an impact of R$1,327 million; and ( b) the incorporation of Teles Pires, contributing R$251 million. These increases were partially offset by the reduction of R$ 158 million due to the sale of TPP Candiota in January 2024.

Sequentially, the increase was of R$ 2,520 million. In addition to the contribution from Tucuruí, there was also the recognition in September of R$606 million in revenue related to energy sold to Amazonas Energia from April to August, including R$376 million related to billing from April to June, unrecognized in 2Q24.

Note on the sale of thermal power plants

On June 10, 2024, a contract was signed with Âmbar for the sale of Eletrobras' thermoelectric portfolio for R$4.7 billion, of which R$1.2 billion consists of earn-out. In addition, Âmbar immediately assumed the credit risk of the energy contracts in this portfolio.

On June 12, 2024, Provisional Measure 1,232 was published, amending the legislation on isolated systems. The text established that, if ANEEL recognizes the loss of service conditions, a corporate transfer plan can be approved as an alternative to terminating the concession. The Provisional Measure also changes the rules on energy purchase and sale contracts, which are currently reimbursable by the Fuel Consumption Account (CCC). As a result, Eletronorte signed Reserve Energy Contracts (CERs) with the Brazilian Electric Energy Trading Chamber (CCEE), backed by the Aparecida, Jaraqui, Tambaqui, Cristiano Rocha, Manauara and Ponta Negra TPPs.

In addition, the following were signed with Amazonas Distribuidora de Energia S/A: (i) Terms of Termination of the Power Purchase Agreements (CCVEEs) backed by the aforementioned plants; and (ii) Term of Waiver and Renunciation of pre-existing rights against the Federal Government relating to the purchase and sale of electricity arising from events prior to the "exchange of contracts for CERs".

The drafts of the CERs, the Terms of Termination and the Term of Waiver and Resignation were approved on a sub judice basis, under the terms of ANEEL Order No. 3.025, of July 10, 2024.

The Company has been in negotiations with the CCEE to start receiving the payments for the CERs since June 13, 2024, the date on which the energy provided for in the CERs began to be supplied.

Regulatory Generation Revenue

Recurring regulatory revenue was R$8,001 million in 3Q24, R$347 million lower than recurring IFRS generation revenue, reflecting the different treatment of Balbina and thermal power plant billing.

In the regulatory result, the methodology of previous quarters is maintained. All billing is recognized in revenue, whether or not it has been paid, followed by any provisions or reversals.

In the IFRS result, bad debts with no prospect of being collected are not recognized either in revenue or in provisions. If the prospect of collection returns, billing that was previously in default is recognized. The situation of default, and the respective accounting treatment, depends on each plant.

With respect to Balbina, the billing recognized in regulatory revenue was R$58 million in 3Q24, of which R$29 million was defaulted on, and consequently provisioned. In IFRS results, only the R$29 million effectively paid was recognized.

Regulatory revenue therefore differs from IFRS revenue in two ways: the recognition of Balbina's defaulted billing of R$29 million and the billing for the months prior to 3Q24 of R$376 million. This difference between the two views, IFRS and regulatory, also occurs in the same amount in the provision line.

In in regulatory revenue, both Balbina's unpaid billing for 3Q24 (R$ 29 million) and the thermal power plants' billing for months prior to 3Q24 (R$ 376 million) were recognized. This difference also occurs, in the same amount, in the provision line.

Below we present the difference between regulatory and IFRS operating result (EBITDA):

Consistent throughout the first half of 2024, there was no difference between IFRS and regulatory EBITDA.

In 3Q24, revenue of R$376 million was recognized in IFRS results for the months prior to 3Q24, with no corresponding provision. On the regulatory results, all of the 3Q24 revenue from the sale to Amazonas Energia was recognized in revenue, including the R$29 million default on Balbina. As for the regulatory provisions, there was an expense of the same R$29 million and also a reversal of R$376 million that had been provisioned in previous months.

Generation Revenue - by type of Contracting Environment

If we exclude from the recurring regulatory revenue the construction portion, and, especially, the effect of eliminations, we arrive at revenues from the sale of energy in all contracting environments of R$ 8,078 million in 3Q24, 25% and 28% higher than in 3Q23 and 2Q24, respectively.

The increase in revenue is mainly explained by volume of 1,872 aMW in 3Q24, being 3,445 aMW during the 50-day period from July 12 to August 30, when the contract extensions were valid and settled in the ACR, relating to the additional sale in the ACR from Tucuruí[1] totaling R$1,327 million in the quarter. In addition, revenue was impacted by the effects of the sale or purchase of equity holdings (M&A), full or partial, in generating plants, primarily from: (a) the sale of TPP Candiota, which contributed R$158 million in 3Q24; (b) an increase in the stake in Baguari and Retiro Baixo, which contributed R$87 million in 3Q24, up from R$22 million in 3Q23; and (c) an increase in the stake in Teles Pires, which contributed R$251 million in 3Q24.

Excluding the effects mentioned above, regulatory revenue totaled R$6,422 million, up 1.9% YoY, as a result of an average sales price 2.2% higher than the previous year coupled with a 0.4% decline in volume.

(2) Construction Revenues, Financial Effect of Itaipu and Elimination (accounting adjustments - internal sales). The sale of energy from Candiota took place on the ACR market, and 48% of the volume sold (227 aMW) was obtained via the purchase of energy from Eletronorte on the free market. In 3Q23, Eletronorte's revenue from the sale of energy to Candiota was R$ 67 million, in the form of eliminations. Between 3Q23 and 3Q24, the volume sold by Eletronorte, excluding the effect of consolidating Teles Pires, rose by 1 .274 aMW.

(3) Amazonas' revenue of R$482 million in 2Q24 was not recognized as accounting revenue. In 3Q24, the difference of R$347 million between regulatory and IFRS revenue represents: (a) recognition on regulatory revenue of R$ 58 million related to the defaulted billing from Balbina for 3Q24, while on the IFRS revenue only the defaulted R$29 million was recognized, and (b) R$ 376 million recognized in IFRS revenue, referring to previously unrecognized billing prior to 3Q24.

(4) M&A: involves revenue from assets in which Eletrobras' stake has changed over the last 12 months.

 

Regulated Market (ACR)

Regulatory revenue from generation in the Regulated Contracting Environment (ACR) totaled R$2,784 million in 3Q24, up R$1,709 million YoY, primarily due to R$1,327 million from Eletronorte, arising from the renegotiation of Tucuruí’s hydrological risk, and the effect of R$162 million due to the incorporation of Teles Pires.

Free Market (ACL)

Regulatory revenue from generation in the Free Contracting Environment (ACL) totaled R$2,593 million in 3Q24, down R$87 million YoY, primarily due to the R$144 million reduction in Eletronorte's revenue, reflecting the 29% decline in average sales prices and the R$114 million reduction at Chesf due to the lower volume of energy contracted in the period. This was partially offset by the increase in the volume contracted at Eletrobras, with a positive impact of R$136 million.

CCEE Revenue

CCEE (short-term market) revenue was R$695 million in 3Q24, up R$353 million YoY.

Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Revenue - Plants Renewed by Law 12,783/2013

O&M Revenues were R$734 million, down R$228 million YoY, mainly reflecting the decotization process, mitigated by the effects of the yearly 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.

O&M revenue

O&M revenue was R$1.906 billion in 3Q24, down R$76 million YoY, mainly reflecting the R$57 million reduction in invoiced RAP, already deducted from the variation in amortizations of contractual assets.

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$1,044 million, up R$239 million over 3Q23, mainly reflecting an increase of R$92 million related to construction revenue from the SPEs Nova Era Teresina (R$58 million), Nova Era Integração (R$27 million) and Nova Era Ceará (R$6 million). In addition, the increase of R$82 million associated with greater investments in reinforcements and improvements added to the respective construction margins at Chesf, associated with contract 061/2001.

Contractual Revenue

Contractual (financial) revenue is associated with the application of inflationary indices to the balances of the contract assets of each concession. The accumulated IPCA index for July-Sept/2024 was 0.57%, while for July-Sept/2023 it was 0.27%. The IGP-M index varied by 1.72% and -2.77%, respectively, in the same periods. These effects are due to the application of IFRS rules and differ from the regulatory revenue, which applied the readjustment in July 2024, according to Homologatory Resolution No. 3,348/24, repositioning the RAPs for the 2024/2025 cycle.

Thus, contractual revenue in 3Q24 was R$1,616 million, R$336 million higher than in 3Q23. The impact on Eletrobras companies was:

(a) Chesf: up R$107 million, mainly due to the R$76 million increase in monetary restatement and of R$28 million in financial revenue from the renewed contract, due to the variation in the asset base;

(b) Eletrobras: R$105 million, mainly due to the increase of R$76 million in monetary restatement;

(c) CGT Eletrosul: R$50 million, mainly due to the increase of R$42 million in monetary restatement;

(d) Eletronorte: R$45 million, mainly due to the R$36 million increase in monetary restatement and R$14 million in RBNI financial revenue, and a decrease of R$5 million in RBSE financial revenue.

Regulatory Transmission Revenue

Regulatory transmission revenue was R$4.467 billion, down 13.5% and 15% compared to 3Q23 and 2Q24, respectively, reflecting the approval of the 2023 and 2024 periodic tariff review (RTP) processes, with emphasis on the review of revenue from concession contracts 057/2001, 058/2001, 061/2001 and 062/2001, extended by Law 12.783/2013.

It is important to note that, in transmission, the drop in gross revenue mainly reflects two negative effects: a R$385 million drop in the Annual Permitted Revenue (RAP) and R$328 million in the form of the Adjustment Portion (PA) due to the postponement to 2024 of the Periodic Tariff Review (RTP) process for renewed contracts, originally scheduled to take place in 2023.

Energy purchased for resale

Energy purchased for resale totaled R$1,452 million in 3Q24, representing an increase of R$ 645 million compared to 3Q23, of which R$363 million at Eletrobras Holding, if which R$138 million from SAESA, due to the increase in CCEE costs, due to the low GSF in the period related to a scenario of low hydrology. In addition, there was a R$93 million increase due to the entry of incentivized energy PPA contracts, also at Eletrobras.

Charges on use of the electricity grid

Charges on the use of the network totaled R$1,016 million in 3Q24, up R$139 million YoY, explained mainly by the incorporation of Teles Pires into Eletronorte, adding R$111 million in charges for the use of the network, and by the TUST readjustment by the IPCA inflation index, which resulted in an increase of R$7 million in SAESA.

Fuel for electricity production

The costs associated with the use of fuel to produce electricity amounted to R$491 million in 3Q24, down R$19 million YoY, mainly reflecting the R$94 million drop at CGT Eletrosul due to the TPP Candiota sale. This effect was partially offset by a R$47 million increase at Eletronorte, due to the annual adjustment of the natural gas price and the dispatches Outside the Order of Merit and Price (FOMP), which are not eligible for reimbursement from the Fuel Consumption Account (CCC). In addition, there was a R$27 million increase at Eletrobras, also due to the natural gas price adjustment.

 

Earnings Release 3Q24       23

 
 

 

Construction

Construction-related costs totaled R$1,055 million in 3Q24, up R$189 million YoY, mainly due to the increase in costs related to new concessions, with R$96 million at Nova Era Janapu.

 

PMSO - Personnel, Material, Services and Other

Personnel

Recurring personnel costs and expenses totaled R$902 million in 3Q24, down 3.4% from R$934 million in 3Q23. There was a reduction of 192 employees from the sale of Candiota, totaling savings of R$11 million in 2024.

It is important to highlight that Personnel costs and expenses include R$10 million related to indemnity allowances for the readjustment of managers' salaries, bringing Eletrobras' practices in line with those of the market.

Additionally, the following were noted in the quarter: (a) pro rata recognition of R$75 million as Profit Sharing (PLR) and Short-Term Incentive (ICP), which in 2023 were fully booked in 4Q23; (b) greater recognition of hours worked as investments, with an increase of R$37 million in personnel costs in 3Q24.

Non-recurring effects: VDP totaling R$2 million in the period.

Material

Recurring material costs and expenses totaled R$64 million in 3Q24, up 27% compared to R$51 million in 3Q23. The rise in material costs was mainly explained by the R$10 million increase at Eletrobras as a result of higher direct purchases of materials for maintenance, health and safety.

There were no non-recurring effects in the quarter.

Services

Recurring costs and expenses with services totaled R$569 million in 3Q24, in line with R$574 million in 3Q23. The main highlights of the quarter were: (a) a reduction in personnel services of approximately R$37 million, reflecting, among other things, the reclassification of benefits to the Personnel account; and (b) an increase in the cost of operational maintenance services of approximately R$12 million.

There were no non-recurring effects in the quarter.

Others

Other recurring costs and expenses totaled R$157 million in 3Q24, up by R$97 million YoY, due to, among other effects, the R$65 million increase in consulting, legal and financial services.

It is worth noting that the expense with the premium paid for GSF insurance rose from R$15 million in 3Q23 to R$91 million in 3Q24, of which R$74 million from the extension of Tucuruí plant's ACR contracts recognized in July and August, with no counterpart in 3Q23. In return for this contracted protection, which is a product of the SP100 type, a revenue of R$126 million was recognized.

Non-recurring effects 3Q24: R$221 million, related to the write-off of court deposits and R$89 million, related to litigation prior to 2022.

nProvision for litigation: reversal of R$418 million in 3Q23 from R$515 million in 3Q23 with emphasis on: (a) constitutions of R$233 million and reversals of R$211 million, in addition to discounts of R$300 million for agreements signed regarding compulsory loans; (b) reversal of R$100 million related to the change in the likely outcome of a lawsuit; and (c) reversal of R$96 million at Eletrosul after rectification of the calculation by the expert in the labor lawsuit.

 

 

Earnings Release 3Q24       26

 
 

 

nMeasurement at fair value of assets held for sale: primarily reflects the process of divesting the stake in non-operating wind farms of the former direct investee Livramento Holding S.A., resulting in full control of the only operating company, Eólica Ibirapuitã S.A., with a R$92 million effect on Eletrosul in 3Q23. In 3Q24, the effects were R$18 million from the provision for devaluation of the equity stake in Lagoa Azul Transmissora and R$12 million from the adjustment of the asset held for sale of Santa Cruz, considering the updating of fixed assets through the new capital contributions.
nEstimated losses on investments: primarily due to the R$80 million increase at Eletrobras, mainly due to the recovery of the investment in SPE MESA in 3Q23, with no counterpart in 3Q24.
nEstimated losses on doubtful accounts (ECL) - consumers and resellers: in 3Q24, a provision of R$59 million was recorded, mainly due to the constitution of provision related to energy transmission defaults in the amount of R$56 million.
nResult of actuarial reports: provision of R$133 million relating to the interest cost and current service cost defined in the 2024actuarial reports.

(1)Recognizes the amounts of R$482 million in 2Q24 and R$432 million in 1Q24 relating to revenue from Amazonas Energia. Due to default, these balances are also fully recognized in operating provisions. As far as 3Q24 is concerned, billing from Amazonas continued to be recognized in revenue. As part of Balbina's billing is still in default, a provision of R$29 million was constituted in 3Q24. Thermal power plant billings for 3Q24 were not provisioned, while part of the defaulted amount prior to 3Q24, of R$376 million, was reversed from the provision.

In 3Q24, Adjusted IFRS EBITDA was R$6,775 million, up R$544 million YoY.

Regulatory net revenue added R$801 million to the result, especially revenue from the Tucuruí contract extensions of R$1,327 million in July and August, which was partially offset by a R$695 million reduction in transmission revenue[2]. In terms of costs and expenses, there was a R$801 million increase in spending on energy purchased for resale, charges in the use of grid and fuel purchases, costs related to generation and over which there is less management autonomy. PMSO expenses increased by R$17 million, or 1.0% compared to 3Q23, an increase lower than the accumulated inflation over 12 months of 4.42% as measured by the IPCA (Brazilian Consumer Price Index).

In the provisions line there was once again an inversion, with a net reversal of R$405 million in 3Q24 compared to net provisions of R$144 million in 3Q23, resulting in a positive variation of R$549 million. Of particular note was the reversal of the provision set up in months prior to 3Q24, relating to previously defaulted billing linked to the energy sale to Amazonas Energia, totaling R$376 million.

Finally equity income increased by R$12 million. 

It is worth highlighting two important events in 3Q24: the contractual extension relating to the energy sold from Tucuruí and the recognition of revenue from the sale of energy to Amazonas Energia.

1)Tucuruí contract extension - same effect on regulatory and IFRS results
a.Gross revenue of R$1,327 million from the sale of energy in the ACR, as well as R$55 million and R$18 million from the sale of available energy from the Surplus and Deficit Compensation Mechanism (MCSD), respectively, in the ACL and short-term markets.
b.Net income of around R$53 million due to the GSF insurance specifically related to this sale, through an SP100-type product, with a benefit of R$126 million compared to the premium paid of R$74 million for the insurance. The benefit, calculated on the basis of the insured volume and the difference between the guaranteed GSF and the actual GSF, and valued at the PLD, is recognized in the revenue from the CCEE's contracting environment, while the premium paid is recognized in other costs at PMSO.

 

 

2 Reflecting the tariff review process consolidated by Homologatory Resolution 3.348/2024 published by ANEEL and which defined the RAP and PAs for the 2024/2025 regulatory cycle that began in 3Q24.

 

Earnings Release 3Q24       28

 
 
2)Sale of Energy to Amazonas Energia - difference between regulatory and IFRS in 3Q24
a.In the regulatory result, revenue of R$58 million from energy sold by Balbina was recognized, with a provision of R$29 million for defaults. A provision of R$376 million was reversed for part of the energy billed in 1H24, due to the resumption of the prospect of receiving it.
b.In the IFRS result, R$376 million was recognized in revenue, referring to part of the energy billed in 1H24, due to the likelihood of receiving the amounts. The paid amount of R$29 million for energy sold by Balbina was recognized in revenue.

Adjusted IFRS EBITDA

Adjusted IFRS EBITDA totaled R$11,964 million, up 164.1% YoY, mainly reflecting the positive effect of the Regulatory Remeasurement of transmission contracts, of around R$6,130 million. Also noteworthy was the revenue increase which more than offset the increase in generation costs, combined with a small advance in PMSO expenses and provisions. Finally, there was an increase in equity income.

In 3Q24, the adjusted financial result was negative R$2,225 million, compared to a negative result of R$2,022 million in 3Q23. The main variations in 3Q24 were:

nLower debt charges, from R$1,653 million in 3Q23 to R$1,437 million in 3Q24 mainly due to the positive R$215 million impact from the reduction in Selic/CDI rates between the periods compared.
nMonetary restatement (Selic) on the contingency provision for compulsory loans was R$214 million in 3Q24, down from the R$315 million recorded in 3Q23 , due to the reduction in the provision inventory and the variation in the Selic rate.
nTaxes on financial income, which decreased by R$337 million when compared to 3Q23, due to an impact of R$327 million of PIS/COFINS on IOE received intercompany, with no counterpart in 3Q24.
nCDE 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$857 million in 3Q24. The R$192 million variation vs. 3Q23 is due to the monetary variation of the IPCA. 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 3Q24       30

 
 
nRiver basin revitalization charges (5.67% charge), of R$85 million in 3Q24, and Monetary updates – River basins of R$43 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 a further 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.
nVariation in derivative financial instrument not linked to debt protection: positive increase in the amount of R$44 million due to gains on derivatives at Eletronorte in 3Q24, influenced by the variation in the quantity of energy, macroeconomic indices (dollar and Selic) and projection of the price of aluminum on the London Metal Exchange - LME, used as a reference for payment of the premium provided for in certain contracts. The result considered the average projection for aluminum on the LME for the next 3 months, which was lower than the ceiling price stipulated in the contract and the previous projections.
nOther financial expenses: an increase of R$254 million, mainly due to the write-off of court deposits, resulting in an R$100 million impact on Eletrobras (considering monetary update) and an adjustment of the monetary update rate of court deposits with a R$249 million effect. This was partially offset by events that occurred in 3Q23 and had no counterpart in 3Q24, including the reclassification of expenses in the balance of R$ 47 million and the transfer of amounts made by Eletrobras to the Itaipu’s Electricity Commercialization account of R$ 22 million.
nVariation in the fair value of the hedged debt net of the derivative: we highlight the effect of the hedge contracted through a Swap Cross-Currency Fixed Float, aimed at protecting the bonds issued in September against exchange rate and interest rate variations, assuming a liability position in Reais, and the change in value of the liability linked to the variable interest rate curve in Reais. However, the fair value of the debt deviated from the issue value, generating an adjustment in the value of the liability and, consequently, a negative impact of R$146 million in 3Q24.

3.Debt and receivables

Gross debt was R$ 69,9 billion in 3Q24, down R$2, 0 billion compared to 2Q24 and in line with 3Q23.

In 3Q24, we issued bonds totaling US$750 million on the international market (R$4,2 billion) to refinance debts. This was the first issue in US$ by Eletrobras post privatization.

As a result of liability management and the 200 bps reduction in the basic interest rate (Selic), the average debt maturity was reduced by around 0.2 months and the average total cost declined from CDI + 1.08% p.a. to CDI + 0.59% p.a. compared to 3Q23.

The net debt/adjusted regulatory EBITDA ratio reached 1.7x in 3Q24 from 1.9x in 2Q24 and 1.8x in 3Q23.

Over the course of 2024, the Eletrobras Group companies raised R$22.1 billion in funds. In April, Eletrobras' first joint and coordinated issue marked the beginning of the use of standardized instruments, resulting in a shorter issuance period and lower costs for the Company. Approximately R$5.5 billion in debentures were issued, of which approximately R$3.4 billion were used to repay debts in 2024.

In June, the second joint issue was concluded, being: a) R$ 4.9 billion in debentures at Chesf, at a cost of IPCA + 6.77% p.a. and a term of 7 years; and b) R$ 2 billion in Commercial Notes and R$ 4 billion in bank debt at the Holding level at a cost of CDI + 0.75% p.a. and ranging from CDI + 0.69% to 1.84% p.a., respectively, both maturing in 2 years.

In September, bonds were issued at a cost of 6.50% per year, maturing in 10 years. At the same time, the following funds were raised: i) Chesf's 4th issue of debentures and Eletronorte's 6th issue of debentures, in the amount of R$1.9 billion each, at a cost ranging from CDI + 0.85% to 1.05% p.a. and with terms of 7 and 10 years; and ii) Eletrobras' 6th issue of debentures, in the amount of R$1.63 billion, at a cost of IPCA + 6.88% p.a. and with a term of 10 years. The debentures were settled at the beginning of October.

8.2.       Annex 2 – Annual RAP Adjustment – 2024/2025 cycle

 

Approved RAP

In general, the variations in transmission revenue observed in 3Q24 compared to 3Q23 and 2Q24 are explained by events detailed in the 2Q24 results report, in item 8.2, Annex 2 - Annual RAP Readjustment - 2024/2025 cycle.

The changes are mainly explained by the approval of the 2023 and 2024 periodic tariff review (RTP) processes, with emphasis on the review of revenue from concession contracts 057/2001, 058/2001, 061/2001 and 062/2001, extended by Law 12.783/2013.

These aspects, as well as others, such as the RAP revision of tendered contracts, are consolidated in Homologatory Resolution 3,348, published on July 18, 2024, which established the result of the Annual Adjustment of the Annual Permitted Revenue - RAP for the 2024/2025 cycle.

For the Eletrobras companies, RAP was set at R$16.9 billion, at June 2024 prices, net of PIS/COFINS taxes, from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025. Considering the RAP including the consolidated SPEs (TMT and VSB), the total value of the RAP reaches around R$17 billion.

The RAP for the 2024/2025 cycle approved for the Eletrobras companies represents around 35% of the SIN's total RAP.

 

Chart 12 – RAP Eletrobras and Total RAP - SIN

 

 

Additionally, for the 2024/2025 cycle, the aforementioned Resolution defined a total negative Adjustment Portion (PA) for Eletrobras companies of approximately R$ 1.5 billion, at Jun/24 prices, which includes, among other, the retroactive effects, negative and positive, of the Periodic Tariff Review - RTP for 2023 and 2024 of extended and tendered contracts, as well as the annuity for investments in improvements of the extended contracts.

As a result, the total amount of revenue (RAP + PA) approved for Eletrobras companies' transmission concession contracts for the 2024/2025 cycle is R$15.4 billion, at Jun/24 prices.

It should be noted that the revenue variation in the 2024/2025 tariff cycle when compared to the previous cycle was mainly due to the Periodic Tariff Review result of the RAP of extended contracts, in the total amount of R$-2.4 billion. In addition to the RAP reduction of around R$-1.45 billion, the Adjustment Portion exclusively associated with the review of these contracts was approximately R$-940 million, of which (i) R$-1.32 billion was related to the postponement of the periodic review (retroactive effects from 2023 to 2024), (ii) R$350 million was related to the retroactive effect of the repositioning of revenue from Reinforcements and Improvements over the 2018-2023 cycle; and (iii) R$26 million was related to other adjustments from the Tariff Review.

8.3.       Annex 3 - Regulatory Remeasurement - Concession Contracts

Total 4,288 1,159 277 207 -15 214 6,130

 

As part of the IFRS results, in 3Q24, there was recognition of the regulatory remeasurement relating to concession contracts, both renewed and tendered, in the amount of R$6.130 billion, with no cash effects.

It is worth noting that IFRS accounting recognizes the present value of transmission concession contracts. Therefore, the effect observed in 3Q24 is reflective of this calculation, of the result of the 2023 and 2024 RTP processes of renewed and tendered contracts, and of the annual adjustment process. These events have previously been detailed in the 2Q24 results report, in item 8.2, Annex 2 - Annual RAP readjustment - 2024/2025 cycle.

Approximately 97% of the recognition in the corporate result, R$5.931 billion, was explained by the repositioning of the value of the remuneration base of RBSE assets, as a result of the real movements in this base between the 2018 RTP and the 2023 RTP, in the wake of the ratification of the tariff review of concession contracts No. 057/2001, 058/2001, 061/2001 and 062/2001, extended by Law No. 12.783/2013.

There is no such recognition in the regulatory result.

8.4.       Annex 4 - Compulsory Loan

In the context of the compulsory loan on electricity (ECE) lawsuits, which discuss the monetary restatement of book credits, the Company has been taking steps to mitigate the risks involved. These include strengthening strategic action in the legal defenses, seeking agreements with discounts, and pursuing full settlement of the respective lawsuits. 

As a result of these negotiations, Eletrobras was able to reduce its provision inventory by R$945 million sequentially, to R$14.4 billion. This result is mainly due to the agreements reached, which enabled us to record a discount to the provision of R$300 million, with a positive effect directly on the P&L. We had a net reversal of R$65 million in provisions due to favorable decisions.

In the financial result, monetary restatement declined from R$321 million in 3Q23 to R$214 million in 3Q24, due to the reduction in the provision inventory, as mentioned above.

Since 3Q22, when negotiations began and the inventory of provisions for lawsuits involving book-entry compulsory loan credits was R$25.8 billion, the provisions inventory was reduced by R$11.4 billion, despite the accrued monetary restatement of R$2.1 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 amounting to R$7.5 billion, of which R$760 million is classified as possible while R$6.9 billion is classified as remote.

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