1. Main Events in the Period
Copel reported an EBITDA of R$1,006.1 million in the 1Q17, 87.2% higher than the R$537.4 million recorded in the 1Q16, mainly due (a) the recognition of R$224.6 million concerning the remeasurement of transmission assets (RBSE), (b) the result of the distributor's 4th tariff review cycle, in June 2016, plus the 3.5% increase in the grid market, (c) the reduction in the cost of electricity purchase from Itaipu, as a result of the dollar’s lower exchange rate, and (d) the 36.1% decrease in charges of the mains transmission and distribution grid, due to the smaller dispatch outside the order of merit. In the 1Q17, Copel reported a net income of R$417.3 million vs. R$136.1 million in the 1Q16. More details in theitem 2.
RBSE Indemnification
On May 9, 2017, Aneel approved the result of the inspection of the appraisal report of the transmission assets existing on May 31, 2000 (Existing Basic Network System - RBSE and Other Transmission Facilities - RPC) related to the concession agreement No. 060/2001. The Agency recognized the amount of R$667.6 million as the net value of the assets for the purposes of indemnification as of December 31, 2012.
Until December 31, 2016, based on the information available in Decree No. 120/2016 and in the Tariff Adjustment Procedure (PRORET), the Company, based in its the best estimate, this had already recognized in its financial statements the amount of R$580.7 million at the base-date of December 31, 2012 and the respective reevaluation of the estimated cash flow, which represented a balance of the financial asset of R$1,187.0 million, of which R$809.7 million had as counterpart the operating revenue and affected the result of 2016.
In the 1Q17, the Company remeasured the asset based on the amount approved by Aneel, which resulted in the recognition of R$224.6 million in operating revenue, totaling R$1,411.6 million in financial asset.
In addition, on April 11, 2017, a court order was issued concerning the lawsuit filed by three business associations, which provisionally establishes the exclusion of the "compensation" portion, provided for in Article 15, Paragraph 2, of Law No. 12,783/2013 and the subsequent recalculation of fares by Aneel. The Copel, based on the opinion of its legal advisors, understands that this is an interim decision that does not go against the right of the Company to receive the due amounts related to RBSE assets and that these rights are assured by the Law.
Reduction in the recoverable value of assets of the generation segment - Impairment
In the first quarter of 2017, a complement was added to the estimate in order to reduce the recoverable value of the wind power assets of the Cutia Wind Complex, whose impact on the result was of R$30.0 million. The calculation of the value took into account the assumptions used in the impairment tests carried out in the 4Q16, with the most relevant being: updating the discount rate and increasing the CAPEX of the projects.

It should be noted that due to the preliminary protection issued by the TRF of the 1st Region, in October 2015, Copel GeT was already relieved to deliver the energy of the CCEARs in that period.
The schedule of the Colíder HPP, which is being built in the Teles Pires river, in the state of Mato Grosso, was impacted by suppliers who failed to comply with the expected schedule for the delivery of equipment related to electromechanical assembly services. The first generating unit’s startup is scheduled for February 2018, while the third and final generating unit is scheduled to go into operation in July 2018.
Revised Assured Power
On May 4, 2017, Decree No. 178 of the Ministry of Mines and Energy was published, which disclosed the revised amounts of the Assured Power of Hydroelectric Power Plants - HPPs centrally dispatched in the National Interconnected System (SIN) obtained through the application of the methodology presented in the Report of the Ordinary Review of the Assured Power of the Electric Energy of HPPs, dated from April 25, 2017, prepared by the Working Group established by Decree MME No. 681, of December 30, 2014, composed of representatives of the Ministry of Mines and Energy, of the Electric Energy Research Center - CEPEL and of the Energy Research Company - EPE.
With this review, three Copel GeT’ power plants had the revised assured power, which resulted in an increase of 3.4 average MW, equivalent to 0.2% of the total of this subsidiary. The amounts of assured power of the plants will be valid as of January 1, 2018 and are detailed below.

2. Financial Performance
The analyzes refer to the first quarter of 2017 compared to the same period of 2016.
2.1 Operating Revenues
Net operating revenue came to R$3,297.0 million, 7.0% up on 1Q17, chiefly due to (a) the 32.9% increase in the "use of the main distribution and transmission grid" line, composed by the TUSD and TUST revenues, mainly reflecting (i) the recognition of R$224.6 million arising from the remeasurement of transmission assets concerning the RBSE, (ii) the result of the 4th tariff review cycle of Copel Distribuição, (iii) the 3.5% growth in the grid market, and (iv) the expansion and updating of the transmission assets base of Copel GeT; and (b) the 6.2% growth in the "electricity sales to distributors", result of higher revenues in CCEE, due to the higher average GSF (107.0% in the 1Q17 over the 87.8% of the 1Q16) and the higher average spot price (PLD) in the period (R$155.37/MWh in the 1Q17 over the R$34.59/MWh of the 1Q16).
The variation in the operating revenue was negatively impacted by the 28.2% reduction in the "electricity sales to final customers" line, due to the 11.3% decrease in the captive market of Copel Distribuição and the 12.9% average reduction applied to the tariffs from June 24, 2016.
The following variations are also highlights:
(i) the 11.9% increase in “revenues from telecommunications”, due to the expansion of the service to new customers; (ii) the 35.0% increase in “other operating revenues”, mainly due to fines paid by captive consumers who migrated to the free market, revenues from leases and rentals, and provision of maintenance and operation services; (iii) a negative result of R$148.0 million in sectorial financial assets and liabilities, resulting from the lower purchase cost of Itaipu's electric energy, due negative dollar exchange variation when compared to the previous tariff readjustment, and to the receipt of a higher amount of the recoverable portion of the charges of the sector within the current tariff; and (iv) decrease of 4.5% in “distribution of piped gas”, reflecting the reduction in consumption of natural gas, mainly in the industrial and cogeneration sector, partially offset by the reajustment in gas prices.

2.2 Operating Costs and Expenses
In 1Q17, operating costs and expenses totaled R$2,507.7 million, 9.5% down, reflecting the (a) reduction of 10.3% in "electricity purchased for resale", mainly due Itaipu, due to the lower dollar exchange in the period (R$3.15/US$1.00 in the 1Q17 versus R$3.90/US$1.00 in the 1Q16), partially offset by the readjustment applied to the power transfer rate of the plant, which was of US$28.73/KW in 2017 over the US$25.78/KW in 2016; (b) the reduction of 36.1% in "charges of the main distribution and transmission grid" due to the lower costs with system service charges (ESS), given the lower thermal dispatch outside the merit order; and (c) a 28.2% decrease in "natural gas and supplies for the gas business" costs, due to the non-activation of TTP Araucária (over a generation of 78 GWh in the 1Q16).

The reduction in operating costs and expenses was partially offset by the 11.3% growth in the "personnel and management" line, mainly reflecting the salary adjustment applied from October 2016 and the recognition of an additional cost of R$55.0 million in the construction cost line, mainly due to the increase in capex and higher expropriation costs related to the Araraquara II - Taubaté transmission line.
The following are also noteworthy:
(i) recording R$98.7 million in "provisions and reversals", of which R$30.0 million refers to impairment of the assets of the Cutia Wind Complex, R$26.3 million to net provisions with labor lawsuits, R$24.7 million to allowance for doubtful accounts (PECLD), R$15.8 million to net provisions for civil and administrative lawsuits, and R$1.9 million to losses of tax credits, regulatory lawsuits, passage, environmental and expropriation easement; (ii) a 14.1% decrease in "other costs and expenses", mainly due to the reduction of R$18.3 million in costs related to financial compensation for the use of water resources, reflecting the lower generation of hydraulic energy in the period (6,181 GWh in 1Q17 versus 7,471 GWh in 1Q16); and (iii) a 7.2% decrease in "third-party services" due to lower expenses with maintenance of the electric system and authorized and accredited agents;

Due to the conversion of common shares into preferred shares issued by Sanepar and held by Dominó Holdings, the Shareholders' Agreement, signed between the state of Paraná and Dominó Holdings, was automatically terminated. As a result, Copel no longer classifies its investment in Sanepar as an affiliate, but as a financial asset available for sale. Accordingly, it stopped being recorded under the equity method and is now recorded at fair value. More details in theitem 3.1.

2.4 EBITDA
In the 1Q17, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization reached R$1,006.1 million, an increase of 87.2% over the R$537.3 million recorded in the 1Q16, mainly reflecting the re-measurement of the cash flow of the transmission assets related to the RBSE, and the result of the 4th Tariff Review Cycle of Copel Distribuição valid as of June 24, 2016.
Excluding the non-recurring effects of the period, adjusted EBITDA would have been R$811.5 million in 1Q17, 51% higher the same period in 2016. The following table shows the items considered in the calculation of adjusted EBITDA.

2.5 Financial Result
In the 1Q17, the financial income totaled R$163.6 million over the R$204.9 million in the 1Q16, mainly reflecting the lower income from financial investments, resulting from the drop in the Selic rate (average of 12.7% in the 1Q17 vs. 14.15% in the 1Q16), the lower income and monetary variation on CRC transferred, due to the lower IGP-DI in the period (0.73% in the 1Q17 vs. 2.97% in the 1Q16), and the lower balance related to interest rate on bills paid in arrears on energy bills.
The financial expenses recorded in the 1Q17 totaled R$319.6 million, a balance 14.0% lower than the one recorded in the 1Q16, mostly due the lower exchange variation on the purchase of electricity from Itaipu and the higher balance of financing and debentures, partially offset by the drop in interest and the dollar exchange rate.

3. Main Account and Changes Balance Sheet
The main accounts and changes in the Balance Sheet in relation to December 2016 are described below. Additional information can be found in the Notes to our Quarterly Financial Information.
3.1 Main Accounts
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Bonds and Securities
On March 31, 2017, the cash and cash equivalents, bonds and securities of Copel’s wholly owned subsidiaries and controlled companies totaled R$1,400.5 million, 5.3% lower than the R$1,479.6 million recorded on March 2016. These funds were invested, mostly in Bank Deposit Certificates (CDBs) and repo transactions. The investments earned an average yield of the period variation in the Interbank Deposit Certificate (CDI) rate.
CRC Transferred to the State of Paraná
Through the fourth addendum signed on January 21, 2005, the Company renegotiated the CRC balance on December 31, 2004 with the State of Paraná at R$1,197.4 million, in 244 monthly installments recalculated by the price amortization system, restated by the IGP-DI inflation index plus annual interest of 6.65%. The first installment was due on January 30, 2005, with subsequent and consecutive maturities until April 2025.
In accordance with the request by the State of Paraná, approved by the Company's Board of Directors subject to the consent of the Department of the Treasury, the Novation of the CRC Adjustment Agreement is underway, which grants, in the period from April to December 2016, a total grace period for payments and, from January to December 2017, only of the main amount, without any real loss of the total amount of the agreement, maintaining its net present value. The other clauses in the agreement will remain unchanged. The current balance of the CRC is R $ 1,524.5 million.
Other temporary investments
The Shareholders' Agreement, signed between the state of Paraná and Dominó Holdings, was terminated, removing from Dominó Holdings the significant influence over its investment in Sanepar. This occurred due to the conversion of common shares into preferred shares issued by Sanepar and held by Dominó Holdings. Given this fact, the investment of Sanepar which ceased to be classified as an affiliate and is now considered a financial asset available for sale.
With the termination of this agreement, Copel also no longer classifies its investment in Sanepar as an affiliate, but as a financial asset available for sale. On March 31, 2017, the balance of this account amounted to R$490.9 million, R$473.1 million of which is related to Copel’s investment in Sanepar.

4. Performance of the Main Companies
4.1 Copel Geração e Transmissão
In the 1Q17, Copel GeT's operating income increased 42.8% to R$1,073.5 million and mainly reflects the recognition of R$224.6 million in the revenue "use of the main transmission grid (TUST)" as a result of Aneel's approval of the amount corresponding to the portion of the not-amortized reversible assets related to the RBSE (as described in item 2.1) and the 28.7% growth in "electricity sales to distributors" due to the higher GSF
21
* Amounts subject to rounding.

that resulted in secondary energy in the 1Q17 (average GSF of 107.0% in the 1Q17 vs. 87.8% in the 1Q16) and the higher average spot price (PLD) in the period (R$155.37/MWh in the 1Q17 vs. R$34.59/MWh in the 1Q16). Operating costs and expenses reached R$433.2 million, 10.9% higher than the R$390.8 million reported in the 1Q16, and mainly resulting from (a) the increase in construction costs, mainly due to recognition of R$50.0 million in losses related to the Araraquara II - Taubaté Transmission Line; (b) the 14.3% increase in the "charge of the main transmission grid" due to the start-up of new transmission assets and the RAP adjustment applied in July 2016; and (c) the 11.6% increase in personnel and administrative costs, resulting from the adjustment applied to salaries as of October 2016. These increases were partially offset by the 31.8% decrease in "other costs and expenses", reflecting the reduction of R$18.3 million in costs with financial compensation for the use of water resources, reflecting the lower generation of hydraulic energy in the period (6,168 GWh in the 1Q17 vs. 7,460 GWh in the 1Q16).
The equity result was positive, reaching R$4.3 million, 79.0% lower than the 1Q16. This result was impacted, in particular, by the negative result of R$24.0 million of the UEG Araucária and by the impairment of R$30.0 million from the Cutia Wind Complex.
In 1Q17, Copel GeT posted net income of R$343.0 million and EBITDA of R$713.9 million.

4.2 Copel Distribuição
In the first quarter of 2017, the operating revenue of Copel Distribuição decreased by 3.9%, reaching R$2,004.3 million. This result was mostly due to the 31.8% decrease in the electricity sales to final customers, from the 11.3% drop in Copel Distribuição's captive market in the 1Q17, together with the average 12.9% reduction in the applied to the tariff from June 24, 2016, and the 28.3% reduction in the electricity sales to distributors, from 22.2% drop in the volume of energy sold to the 3 concessionaires and 1 permissionary that are part of Copel Dis' portfolio.
These reductions were partially offset by the 7.7% increase in the use of the main distribution grid revenue, reflecting the result of the 4th tariff review cycle and the 3.5% growth in the grid market, and 29.4% in other operating revenues, mainly from higher revenues with fines paid by captive customers that migrated to the free market. It is also noteworthy the negative result of R$148.0 million in the result of sectorial financial assets and liabilities (already explained in item 2.1), when compared to the negative R$527.2 millions recorded in the 1Q16.
Operating costs and expenses decreased by 13.4%, to R$1,882.1 million in the 1Q17, mainly reflecting (a) the 10.7% decrease with electricity purchased for resale, mainly due to the (i) lower energy costs of Itaipu - from the lower dollar exchange rate in the period (R$3.15/US$1.00 in the 1Q17 vs. R$3.90/US$1.00 in the 1Q16), partially offset by the adjustment applied to the transferred tariff of the plant power (US$28.73/ KW in 2017 vs. US$25.78/KW in 2016) - and (ii) the termination of existing energy agreements; (b) the 49.0% reduction of the charges of the main distribution and transmission grid, due to lower costs of the system's service (ESS) from the lower thermal dispatch outside the merit order; and (c) the recording of R$58.7 million in provisions and reversals (vs. R$112.1 million in the 1Q16), being R$24.8 million related to allowance doubtful accounts (PECLD), R$22.0 million to labor lawsuits, and R$11.9 million to civil and administrative lawsuits.
The reduction in operating costs and expenses was partially offset by the 10.8% increase in personnel and management costs, reflecting the salary adjustments in October 2016, and the 20.9% increase in other costs and operating expenses, mainly due to the increase in expenses with the authorized agent and losses for the deactivation and sale of assets and rights, partially offset by the recovery of invoices.
The financial result at the end of the quarter was a positive of R$15.7 million, vs. the R$29.1 million of the 1Q16. As a result, Copel Distribuição recorded a net income of R$71.3 million and an EBITDA of R$193.2 million in the 1Q17.

The operating revenue of Copel Telecomunicações reached R$87.7 million in the 1Q17, a 12.3% growth, and mainly reflects the expansion of the area of operation and the service to new customers. The operating costs and expenses increased 14.1%, reaching R$65.5 million. This increase was influenced by the increase of 45.9% in costs with third-party services, which are necessary for the expansion of the area of operation; 22.0% in personnel and management, as a result of the salary adjustment applied in October 2016, plus the 7.3% increase in the number of employees, and the provision of R$1.1 million for compensation with voluntary resignations and retirements. The net income for the period grew 3.1%, totaling R$11.5 million, whereas the EBITDA advanced 8.4%, resulting in R$31.5 million.

With respect to the Rio dos Patos facility, we are currently in charge of the facility on a temporary basis awaiting the decision of the MME on Aneel's recommendation for the extinction of the Rio dos Patos. The operation has been suspended since September 2014 as a result of a flood damage occured in July of that same year. The process will be done without the reversion of the assets of the company to the granting authority. With the extinction of Rio dos Patos, part of its structure will be reused during the construction of the Bela Vista SHP project, in which Copel will have a 36.0% interest.
In February 2017, Aneel recommended to the MME the shut down of the facility without reverting the assets to the granting authority. We are currently awaiting MME´s decision with respect to this facility.

Colíder Hydroelectric Power Plant
In July 2010, Copel won the Aneel auction for the 35-year concession to build and operate the Colíder Hydroelectric Power Plant, in the Teles Pires river, in the state of Mato Grosso. The Colíder HPP will have an installed capacity of 300.0 MW and is located between the cities of Nova Canaã do Norte and Itaúba, with the cities of Colíder and Cláudia also being served by the future unit. The construction of the plant began in 2011 and around 93% of the works are complete. The dam is concluded and the spillway is being finalized. The manufacturing of equipment and electromechanical assemblies are underway, and Generating Unit 01 will reach its final assembly phase in 2017. In February 2016, we began building the 64-km transmission line, which will connect the plant to the Cláudia substation.
As a result of force majeure and government acts during the implementation of the Colíder HPP, Copel Geração e Transmissão requested with Aneel a waiver of responsibility, totaling 644 days, related to the delay in the plant’s startup, initially scheduled for December 30, 2014. Copel GeT honored the Colíder HPP’s CCEAR commitments, totaling 125 average-MW, using uncontracted energy surplus from its other plants.
In October 2015, the Regional Federal Appellate Court of the 1st Region granted Copel GeT a preliminary relief exempting it from fines, penalties, charges and other burdens until the waiver of responsibility request is settled with ANEEL. The request was denied in June 2016, so Copel GeT filed an administrative appeal at Aneel, requesting the reconsideration of the ruling.
In March 2017, Aneel denied Copel GeT's administrative appeal. However, considering the reasons that impacted the plant’s scheduled startup - force majeure and government acts during the implementation of the project - Copel will forward the matter to the Judiciary.
The first generating unit’s startup is scheduled for February 2018, while the third and final generating unit is scheduled to go into operation in July 2018.

From a total assured power of 177.9 average-MW, established by MME (Ministry of Mines and Energy) Ordinance 258 of December 21, 2016, 125.0 average-MW are committed under a 30-year agreement, for the price of R$103.40/MWh, as of July 1, 2010 (annually adjusted by the IPCA consumer price index). The remaining 52.9 average-MW not sold under this agreement have not yet been contracted and are available for sale to large consumers in the free market.
On January 26, 2017, the Brazilian Energy Trading Chamber (CCEE) announced the results of the annual processing of the Compensation Mechanism of Surplus and Deficit (MCSD) of New Energy for the product from January 1 to December 31, 2017. Copel GeT participated in the reduction offer for the Colíder HPP’s Energy Commercialization Agreements in the Regulated Environment (CCEARs), obtaining a full reduction of the agreements (125 average-MW).
In addition, on February, 2017, the Energy Trading Chamber - CCEE (Câmara de Comercialização de Energia) announced the result of the processing of the new statements, backdating to 2016, for the Mechanism for the Compensation of Surplus and Deficits - MCSD of New Energy from July to December 2016. Copel GeT participated in the reduction offer of the Electric Power Trading Agreements in the Regulated Environment -CCEARs (Contratos de Comercialização de Energia no Ambiente Regulado) of the HPP Colíder, obtaining the reduction of the agreements in its entirety (average of 125 MW) from July 2016.
It should be noted that due to the preliminary protection issued by the TRF of the 1st Region, in October 2015, Copel GeT was already relieved to deliver the energy of the CCEARs in that period.
Baixo Iguaçu Hydroelectric Power Plant
As a result of act of government, fortuitous event and force majeure, the commercial start-up of generation unit 1 is scheduled for November 27, 2018, while units 2 and 3 should begin operations in December 2018 and January 2019. The construction works are on schedule and the wall for the rerouting of their river has been concluded, while the powerhouses and spillway assembly works are moving ahead.

8.3 Distribution
Concession agreement
In December 2015, the Company signed the fifth amendment to the Public Electricity Distribution Concession Agreement no. 46/1999 of Copel Distribuição S.A., extending the concession term to July 7, 2045.
The concession agreement imposes economic and financial efficiency and quality conditions. Failure to comply with the conditions for two consecutive years or any of the limits at the end of the first five years will result in the termination of the concession. From the sixth year following execution of the agreement, any breach of quality criteria for three consecutive years or economic and financial management criteria for two consecutive years will result in the opening of a forfeiture process. In addition, noncompliance with the overall goals of collective continuity indicators for two consecutive years or three times in five years may limit the payment of dividends or interest on equity, while failure to meet the economic and financial sustainability indicators will reflect the need for a capital contribution from the controlling shareholders. The following chart shows the goals set for Copel Distribuição in the first 5 years of renovation:

Compact-Design Distribution Lines
Copel Distribuição has continued to implement compact-design distribution lines in urban areas with a high concentration of trees surrounding the distribution grids. This technology reduces the number of trees cut down or trimmed, and improves the quality of power supply by reducing the number of unplanned outages. The total length of compact-design distribution lines in operation in March 2017 was 9,052 km.
Secondary Isolated Lines
Copel Distribuição has also invested in low-voltage (127/220V) secondary isolated lines, which offer substantial advantages over regular overhead lines, including: improvement in DEC and FEC distribution performance indicators, defense against illegal connections, improved environmental conditions, reduced areas subject to tree trimming, improved safety, reduced voltage drops throughout the grid, and increased transformer useful life, due to the reduction of short-circuits, among other advantages. The total length of installed secondary isolated lines closed March 2017 at 16,507 km.

8.4 Telecommunications
Copel Telecomunicações has an optical backbone, a high capacity intermunicipal transmission network, and the access, a customer service network. The access network can be multi-point (GPON) or point-to-point (conventional), thus connecting the customer to the network's transmission Copel Telecom and providing the contracted services.
In March 2017, the backbone cable network extended for 10,140 km and the access network extended for 20,977 km. Currently, we serve the 399 municipalities in the State of Paraná and another 2 in the State of Santa Catarina.

Copel, in partnership with the companies Brennand, Minas PCH and Silea, is also developing studies in the lower reaches of the Rio Chopim that will lead to the feasibility of another four (4) hydroelectric projects. As for wind power generation, there are studies for the feasibility of new wind farms in the State of Rio Grande do Norte, where Copel already has wind assets. The short-term objective is to register such projects in the EPE to enable participation in the upcoming auctions to be organized by the Federal Government. The technical characteristics may be adjusted until the effective energy commercialization of the projects, since Copel's engineering is conducting optimization studies, in order to make the projects more competitive.
