(2) Market position: 27.08% free float + 0.01% others | ||
(3) Indirect participation of 99.76% in RGE, through CPFL Serra Ltda. |
CPFL Energia acquired on April 12th 2007, 100% stock of CMS Energy Brasil S.A. CMS is a holding company which operated through its controlled companies in the distribution, generation, commercialization and specialized electric power service segments. The distribution segment operated through four distributors Companhia Paulista de Energia Elétrica, Companhia Sul Paulista de Energia, Companhia Jaguari de Energia and Companhia Luz e Força Mococa which together distribute energy to approximately 180 thousand customers, in 18 municipalities of which 15 are located in the State of São Paulo and another three are in the State of Minas Gerais.

Captive Market | 8,552 | 7,542 | 13.4% | |||
Free Market | 1,817 | 2,419 | -24.9% | |||
Total | 10,368 | 9,961 | 4.1% |
During 1Q07, total sales of CPFL Group electric power, through the distribution and commercialization segments, amounted to 10,368 GWh, representing an increase of 4.1% . This result is due to the growth of 13.4% in sales to the captive market which partially compensates for the reduction in sales to the free market.
Sales to the captive market totaled 8,552 GWh, which represents an increase of 13.4%, due to natural growth within the CPFL Energia concession area, as well as the 32.7% acquisition of RGE and Santa Cruz. When considering only the natural growth, the increase in sales would have been only 3.3% .
Sales to the free market during 1Q07 reached 1,817 GWh, a reduction of 24.9%, due mainly to the reduction in the volume sold to CPFL Energia free customers.
4.1.1) Captive Market
Captive Market - GWh | ||||||
1Q07 | 1Q06 | Var. | ||||
Residential | 2,687 | 2,269 | 18.5% | |||
Industrial | 2,681 | 2,554 | 5.0% | |||
Commercial | 1,645 | 1,440 | 14.2% | |||

Others | 993 | 870 | 14.1% | |||
Total | 8,552 | 7,542 | 13.4% |
On the captive market the following classes registered growth: residential (18.5%), industrial (5.0%) and commercial (14.2%), although these increases were greatly influenced by the acquisitions of Santa Cruz and the 32.7% acquisition of RGE.
When discounting the effect of the acquisitions of RGE and Santa Cruz, we have the following evolution:
Page 6 of 26
The reduction in sales to the free market is basically due to the reduction in volume of power sold to CPFL Energia free and bilateral customers, bearing in mind the maintenance of the customer base (83).
4.2) Sales in the Concession AreaSales within the concession area totaled 11,152 GWh, an increase of 14.6%, mainly due to the acquisitions of RGE and Santa Cruz. Another contributing factor was the increase of 18.9% (413 GWh) in power transmitted to free customers located within the CPFL Energies concession area. Discounting the effect of the purchase of RGE and Santa Cruz the increase would have been 6.1% .
4.3) Sales by Consumer Class(1)
As a consequence of the above data, a change in the profile of sales to the captive market can be observed, demonstrated by the reduction in the industrial class percentage, which decreased from 33.9% to 31.4%, caused by lower growth than the average growth of the captive market. On the other hand the residential class participation increased from 30.1% to 31.4%, due to higher growth than the average growth of the captive market.

Gross operating revenues in 1Q07 was R$ 3,342 million, representing growth of 19.8% (R$ 552 million). Net operating revenue stood at R$ 2,153 million, the equivalent of 18.2% growth (R$ 331 million).
The principal contributing factors towards this evolution in net revenue were:
(i) Increase of 4.1% in total energy sales, due mainly to the growth of 13.4% in sales to the captive market, attributed to the acquisitions of RGE and Santa Cruz, and to the natural growth of 3.3% in sales in the concession area. This increase was partially offset by the reduction of 24.9% in sales to the free market
(ii) Distributor tariff readjustments: CPFL Paulista (April 2006: 10.83%), CPFL Piratininga (October 2006: 10.79%) and RGE (April 2006: 10.19%)
(iii) Increase of 29.0% (R$ 45 million) in TUSD revenue
5.2) Cost of Electric EnergyThe cost of electric energy comprised of the purchase of energy for resale and charges for the use of the distribution and transmission systems totaled R$ 1,051 million in 1Q07, representing an increase of 12.5% (R$ 117 million):
The cost of energy purchased for resale in 1Q07 was R$ 871 million, which represents an increase of 16.3% (R$ 122 million). The main contributing factors to this variation are:
(i) Increase of 16.1% (R$ 142 million) in the cost of purchased power in both the regulated and free contracting ambient
(ii) Non-occurrence in 1Q06 of the ratification relating to the recalculation of the energy cost of 2005/2006 IRT, applied in 1Q07, which represented a cost increase of R$ 99 million.
Page 8 of 26
(iii) Non-occurrence in 1Q07 of the Pis/Cofins tax rebate to the generators which occurred in 1Q06, representing a cost increase of R$ 31 million
The increase in the cost of energy purchased for resale was partially offset by the following factors:
(i) Increase of 348.6% in the amount relating to the net effect of the amortization and deferral of CVA which implies a cost reduction of R$ 111 million. This impact is due mainly to the recalculation of 2005/2006 IRT, as commented previously
(ii) Reduction in the item, Power Surplus and Shortage, which represented a cost of R$ 7 million in 1Q06, but in 1Q07 has turned into a revenue of R$ 20 million
Charges for the use of the distribution and transmission systems were R$ 180 million in 1Q07, a reduction of 2.9% (R$ 5 million), basically due to the reduction of R$ 42 million in the amount relating to the net effect of the amortization and deferral of CVA. This impact is also due mainly to the recalculation of 2005/2006 IRT
Operating costs were R$ 315 million in 1Q07, registering an increase of 2.0% (R$ 6 million). This growth was mainly attributed to the following factors:
(i) PMSO item, which registered a reduction of 0.7% (R$ 2 million), due to the following factors:
Personnel costs which registered a reduction of 9.5% (R$ 10 million), due mainly to the non-occurrence in 1Q07 of spending on the Retirement Incentive Program, registered in February 2006, in the amount of R$ 17 million
Outsourced service expenses which registered an increase of 8.0% (R$ 6 million), mainly due to the acquisitions of 32.7% of RGE and Santa Cruz
Expenses with other operating costs which increased 6.9% (R$ 3 million), due mainly to the operational start-up of the Campos Novos Hydroelectric plant (Enercan) and the acquisition of 32.7% of RGE
Note: PMSO considers Personnel, Material, Outsourced Services and Others
(ii) Depreciation and Amortization item, which registered an increase of 16.7% (R$ 13 million), due mainly to the acquisition of 32.7% of RGE and the incorporation of Semesa and CPFL Centrais Elétricas by CPFL Geração
(iii) Private Pension Fund item, which represented revenue of R$ 2 million in 1Q06, in 1Q07 represented revenue of R$ 13 million, due basically to the impacts in the expected real returns over the plan assets, as defined in the Actuarial Report from December 2006
5.4) EBITDA
Based on the factors described above, CPFL Energia EBITDA in 1Q07, was R$ 869 million, registering an increase of 32.8% (R$ 215 million).
Page 9 of 26
In 1Q07, the financial result, or as in this case the net financial expense, was R$ 107 million, representing an increase of 30.6% (R$ 25 million) compared to the result of R$ 82 million in 1Q06. The items that can explain this variation are:
(i) Financial Revenues: a reduction of 29.2% (R$ 42 million), falling from R$ 144 million in 1Q06 to R$ 102 million in 1Q07, due mainly to:
Reduction in earnings from financial investments (R$ 23 million), due to the lowers in cash availabilities and interest rate (Selic)
Reduction in RTE remuneration (R$ 15 million) and also in remuneration from CVA and Parcel A (R$ 5 million)
(ii) Financial Expenses: a decrease of 7.5% (R$ 17 million), falling from R$ 226 million in 1Q06 to R$ 209 million in 1Q07, due mainly to:
Reduction in debt charges (R$ 16 million), justified by the change in debt profile together with the reduction in CDI and TJLP interest rates
Taxes on income in 1Q07 presented an increase of 13.1% (R$ 24 million), being this lower than the increase of the Income before Taxes on Income, due the acknowledgement of the fiscal credit by CPFL Geração, in the amount of R$ 40 million (as detailed in the item 9.3, Generation Segment).
Net income in 1Q07 was R$ 473 million, representing an increase of 54.3% (R$ 166 million).
Page 10 of 26
6) INDEBTEDNESS
CPFL Energia total indebtedness was R$ 5,190 million in 1Q07, an increase of 2.9% compared to 1Q06. Although the debt has increased in nominal terms its cost has decreased from 13.8% p.a. in 1Q06 to 12.0% p.a. in 1Q07, due to the reduction in the interest rate (Selic) (from 17.2% p.a. to 12.9% p.a.) and in the TJLP (from 9.0% p.a. to 6.5% p.a.) during the period.
The increase in debt is mainly due to the net effect of the incorporation of the RGE debt installment, resulting from the acquisition of 32.7% holding, equivalent to the amount of R$ 222 million.
The following factors also contributed to the variation in the debt balance:
(i) Liquidation of Floating Rate Notes (R$ 232 million) and the 1st emission of CPFL Paulista debentures (R$ 805 million)
(ii) Funding carried out in compliance with the BACEN Resolution nº 2770 by CPFL Energia, Nova 4 (holding company 100% controlled by CPFL Energia, vehicle used in Santa Cruz acquisition), CPFL Paulista, CPFL Piratininga and CPFL Geração (R$ 816 million); emission of debentures by CPFL Paulista (R$ 640 million); and release of funds by BNDES for CPFL Paulista, CPFL Piratininga, RGE and generation projects (R$ 345 million)
Page 11 of 26
As a consequence of funding operations and realized amortizations, a change in financial debt profile can be observed, demonstrated by the increase in debts linked to CDI (from 27% to 43%) and to TJLP (from 29% to 30%), and by the reduction in debt linked to IGP-M/IGP-DI (from 38% to 21%).

The main contributing factors toward this evolution of net revenue were:
(i) Increase in energy sales to captive costumers of 13.4%, due to the acquisitions of RGE and Santa Cruz and to the natural growth of 3.3% in sales in the concession area
(ii) Readjustment of distributor tariffs: CPFL Paulista (April 2006: 10.83%), CPFL Piratininga (October 2006: 10.79%) and RGE (April 2006: 10.19%)
(iii) Increase in TUSD revenue of 29.0% (R$ 45 million)
Cost of Electric EnergyThe cost of electric energy consisting of the purchase of energy for resale and charges for the use of distribution and transmission systems totaled R$ 1,120 million in 1Q07, an increase of 18.4% (R$ 174 million):
The cost of purchased energy for resale in 1Q07 was R$ 944 million, an increase of 23.9% (R$ 182 million). The main explanatory factors for this variation are:
(i) Increase of 22.8% (R$ 205 million) in the cost of purchased energy in both the regulated and free contracting ambient
(ii) Non-occurrence in 1Q06 of the ratification relating to the recalculation of the energy cost of 2005/2006 IRT, which occurred in 1Q07, which signified a cost increase of R$ 99 million
Page 15 of 26
(iii) Non-occurrence in 1Q07 of the Pis/Cofins tax rebate to the generators, which did occur in 1Q06, resulting in a cost increase of R$ 33 million
The increase in the cost of purchased energy for resale was partially offset by the following factors:
(i) Increase of 348.6% in the amount relating to the net effect of the amortization and deferral of the CVA which implies a cost reduction of R$ 111 million. This impact is due mainly to the recalculation of 2005/2006 IRT, as commented previously
(ii) Reduction in the item, Power Surplus and Shortage, which represented a cost of R$ 7 million in 1Q06, but in 1Q07 has turned into a revenue of R$ 20 million
Charges for the use of the distribution and transmission systems were R$ 176 million in 1Q07, a decrease of 4.2% (R$ 8 million), due basically to the reduction of R$ 42 million in the amount relating to the net effect of the amortization and deferral of CVA. This impact is also due mainly to the recalculation of 2005/2006 IRT
Operating costs were R$ 269 million in 1Q07, registering a reduction of 2.2% (R$ 6 million). This decrease was mainly attributed to the following factors:
(i) PMSO item, which registered a reduction of 3.7% (R$ 8 million), due to the following factors:
Personnel costs which registered a reduction of 11.7% (R$ 12 million), due mainly to the non-occurrence in 1Q07 of spending on the Retirement Incentive Program, registered in February 2006, in the amount of R$ 17 million
Outsourced service expenses which registered an increase of 6.1% (R$ 3 million), mainly due to the acquisition of 32.7% of RGE
Note: PMSO considers Personnel, Material, Outsourced Services and Others
(ii) Depreciation and Amortization item, which registered an increase of 15.5% (R$ 10 million), due mainly to the acquisitions of 32.7% of RGE and Santa Cruz
(iii) Private Pension Fund item, which represented revenue of R$ 2 million in 1Q06, in 1Q07 represents revenue of R$ 12 million, due basically to the impacts in the expected real returns over the plan assets, as defined in the Actuarial Report from December 2006
EBITDABased on the above factors, EBITDA, in 1Q07, was R$ 635 million, registering an increase of 42.3% (R$ 189 million).

In 1Q07, the financial result, or as in this case the net financial expense, was R$ 39 million, showing a reduction of 25.5% (R$ 13 million) compared to R$ 52 million in 1Q06. Contributing factors to this variation are:
(i) Financial Revenues: decrease of 20.0% (R$ 22 million), dropping from R$ 108 million in 1Q06 to R$ 86 million in 1Q07, due mainly to:
| Drop in earnings from financial investments (R$ 7 million), due mainly to the reductions in cash availabilities and interest rate (Selic) |
| Decrease in RTE remuneration (R$ 15 million) and also in remuneration from CVA and Parcel A (R$ 5 million) |
(ii) Financial Expenses: a reduction of 21.8% (R$ 35 million), dropping from R$ 160 million in 1Q06 to R$ 125 million in 1Q07, due mainly to:
| Decrease in debt charges (R$ 21 million), resulting from the change in debt profile, combined with the fall in CDI and TJLP interest rates over the period |
| Reductions from monetary and exchange rate revisions (R$ 6 million) |
Net Income
Net income in 1Q07 was R$ 348 million representing an increase of 71.4% (R$ 145 million).
