1. Main Events in the Period

In 2Q20, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization reached R$1,793.3 million, 89.4% higher than the R$947.0 million recorded in 2Q19. This result is explained, basically, by the non-recurring items, referring to the favorable court decision to Copel Distribuição, which recognizes the right to exclude the full amount of Tax on Circulation of Goods and Services - “ICMS” from the Federal taxes PIS and COFINS calculation basis, which reflected in the record of R$809.1 million in the line “other operating revenues”, and the 4.6% increase in“use of the main distribution and transmission grid”, essentially due to the positive result of the periodic tariff review of the 060/2001 Main Transmission Concession Agreement.

Excluding non-recurring items, adjusted EBITDA is R$979.6 million, 1.2% higher than that recorded in 2Q19. More information in item 2.4.

Favorable Judicial Decision regarding the PIS and COFINS Calculation Basis

On June 16, 2020, the decision favorable to Copel Distribuição, which recognizes the right to exclude ICMS from the PIS and COFINS calculation basis, became final. This matter has retroactive effect to 2004, referring to 5 (five) years prior to the filing of the judicial measure. Considering the favorable decision, Copel recognized the tax credit of R$5,622.0 million in the asset that should be recovered by offsetting with taxes payable, within the 5-year statutory term, and with receipt of court orders from the Federal Government.

The table below shows the impacts of these records on Copel's balance sheet and income statement:

The difference, in the amount of R$1,152.1 million, was recorded in the balance sheet and with an effect on the income statement (R$809.1 million in the "net operating revenue" line, R$936.5 million in the "financial revenue, net of PIS and COFINS” line and negative R$593.5 million in (income tax and social contribution), equivalent to the impact on EBITDA. In addition, due to the exclusion of ICMS from the PIS and COFINS calculation basis, an average reduction of 3.8% in the value of consumers' energy bills is estimated. Copel Dis's PIS and COFINS amounts from March to June 2020, which have not yet been paid, were remeasured considering the effects of the court decision and reclassified to the liability account to be refunded to consumers, so that the balance total to be returned to consumers, as of June 30, 2020, is R$3.9 billion. More details in NE 13.2.1 of the Quarterly Information.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) - Contingency Commission

As of March 2020, Copel's Management issued rules aimed at ensuring compliance with measures to contain the spread of the disease in the Company and minimize its impacts and potential impacts in the administrative, operations and economic-financial areas.In this line, Copel established a Contingency Commission, with the objective of monitoring and mitigating the impacts and consequences in the main activities of the Company, based on the 4 defined pillars: (i) safety of people, (ii) continuity of essential activities, (iii) monitoring of the guidelines and requirements of the regulatory bodies, and (iv) preservation of adequate financial conditions to withstand the crisis. Among the main initiatives implemented by the Company, there are actions to prevent and mitigate the effects of contagion in the workplace, such as: adoption of work in the home office in areas where it is possible to adopt this format, travel restrictions, meetings by video conference, daily monitoring of the health and well-being of employees and contingency protocols in order to fully maintain the operations of the electricity, telecommunications and piped gas infrastructure, preserving the health of its professionals, their safe access to locations of work, an environment that preserves the distance between individuals, hygiene and access to personal protective equipment. Likewise, Copel adopted several actions in favor of its customers, maintaining the reliability and availability of its plants, of the electricity and gas transmission and distribution systems and of telecommunications, so that they can stay connected and take advantage of the Company services in this critical moment of pandemic and social distance. Copel and its employees go to great lengths to ensure that Copel customers and their families remain healthy and safe in their homes, maintaining all the services that contribute to providing comfort and connectivity to everyone.

Copel Distribuição receives resources from “Conta- Covid”

On July 31, 2020, Copel Distribuição received the amount of R$869.5 million, referring to the transfer of all funds destined to Copel Dis, from Conta-Covid, under the coordination of CCEE. It was created by Decree nº 10.350, which provided for its creation, destined to the electric sector to face the state of public calamity recognized by Legislative Decree No. 6, of March 20, 2020, and which regulated Provisional Measure No. 950. In 23 As of June 2020, Aneel issued Resolution No. 885, which provides for the Conta-covid, financial operations, the use of the CDE for these purposes and the corresponding procedures. These measures aim to balance the cash of electricity distribution companies and prevent the effects of default and reduced electricity consumption during the coronavirus pandemic from affecting the entire sector, as well as easing tariff pressure on consumers, in 2020, due to extraordinary costs inserted in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic.

UNITS – Hiring of Specialized Advisors

On July 15, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the beginning of the process of hiring financial and legal specialists, with the objective of advising the Company in all aspects that involve the implementation of a Deposit Certificate Program. Actions (“UNITs”), including the evaluation of opportunities for improvements in corporate governance and liquidity of its shares, such as migration initiatives from Level 1 to Level 2 of B3 - Brazil, Bolsa e Balcão and split of shares (“split "), among others. The approval of the UNITs Program, as well as the potential migration of the level of corporate and split governance, should be submitted to the shareholders' analysis and resolution at the Extraordinary General Meeting (“AGE”), in a date to be defined.

Fitch raises Copel's National Rating to ‘AA + (bra)’ and establishes a positive outlook

Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”) raised to 'AA + (bra)' the National Long-Term Rating of Copel, of its wholly owned subsidiaries Copel Geração e Transmissão (“Copel GeT”), Copel Distribuição (“Copel Dis”) and Copel Telecommunications and their respective debenture issues. At the same time, the corporate ratings outlook has been revised to “positive”. This assessment reflects the improvement of operational efficiency as an integrated energy company, as well as the strengthening of the group's operational and financial profile after the entry into operation of new assets, based on the following main fundamentals: (i) Copel Dis performance; (ii) mitigating the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic; (iii) robust cash generation; (iv) conservative financial leverage; (v) Copel GeT's performance; and (vi) manageable hydrological risk.

The respective credit note ‘AA + (bra)’, only lower than ‘AAA (bra)’, with a positive outlook, which indicates the possibility of an eventual increase in the future, is Copel’s highest credit note in the last 10 years.

Copel Telecomunicações - Divestment Approval

On July 15, 2020, Copel's Board of Directors approved the divestment of 100% (one hundred percent) of the Company's interest in its wholly-owned subsidiary Copel Telecomunicações SA (“Divestment”), based on the conclusion of studies that were validated by independent external advisors. Consequently, it was also approved (i) the opening of a Virtual Data-Room (“VDR”) with detailed information on the Divestment; and (ii) sending the complete file for analysis by the Paraná State Court of Auditors - TCE-PR.

The virtual public hearing on the Divestment, to be operated jointly with B3 S.A. - Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão, is scheduled for August 19, 2020, starting at 10:00 am (local time).

Annual Permited Revenue - APR 2020/2021

Through Homologatory Resolution Nº 2,725, of July 14, 2020, Aneel established the Permitted Annual Revenues (“APRs”) for the electricity transmission assets for the 2020-2021 cycle, effective from July 1 2020. According to the aforementioned resolution, the APRs for Copel GeT's transmission assets became R$777.2 million, of which R$703.4 million correspond to the revenue from assets in operation (R$582, 9 million in the previous cycle), representing an increase of R$194.3 million (+ 20.7%). The remaining APR, of R$73.8 million, referring to projects under construction, will only be received as of the beginning of the commercial operation of the projects.

Additionally, considering the APRs approved for Specific Purpose Companies (“SPCs”) in which Copel GeT has an equity interest, the total consolidated value for Copel GeT is now R$1,146.0 million (R$912.2 million in the previous cycle), representing an increase of R$233.8 million (+ 25.6%).

Financial results

The increase of R$1.0 billion in the financial result up to June 30, 2020, corresponding to 458.3% compared to the same period in 2019, is mainly due to the recognition of tax credit resulting from the exclusion of Tax on Circulation of Goods and Services - “ ICMS” from the Federal taxes PIS and COFINS calculation basis in the amount of R$936.5 million in June 2020, detailed in Note 13.2.1 and Note 34 of the ITR.

Copel Telecom - PIS and COFINS with suspended liability

On May 15, 2020, Copel Telecomunicações S.A. obtained the preliminary injunction favorable to the Company, suspending the requirement of a portion of the PIS and COFINS, recognizing that the ICMS should not be included in the basis for calculating these contributions. Accordingly, the Company has been suspending the payment of these complementary amounts and provisioning the amounts until the final decision on the merits of the action (Note 13.2.2 of the ITR)

The process was filed on May 13, 2020, with a retroactive term of 5 years. The retroactive value, conservatively estimated, is R$19 million, already considering the inflation adjustment by SELIC. So far, Copel Telecom has chosen not to pass on the benefit to the customer.

Tariff readjustment of Copel Distribuição

Aneel authorized on June 25, 2020 the average increase of 0.41% for consumers served by Copel Dis, composed of the following items:

Portion B, which includes operating costs, annual fees, remuneration and depreciation, represented 0.79% of the tariff adjustment composition, and reflects mainly the adjustment by the IPCA (Brazilian Consumer Price Index) for the period (1.88%) in addition to the positive effect of 1.26% of the "X Factor".

Portion A, which includes charges, transport and power costs, represented a 7.82% rise in the tariff adjustment composition, particularly due to increased costs of energy supplied by Itaipu, which were impacted by the dollar exchange rate rise.

The readjustment was fully applied to Copel Distribuição's tariffs on June 24, 2020 and has already considered the effects of the “Conta-Covid”, of which R$536.4 million, referring to the CVA established in the previous year, were assumed by the Conta-Covid and, therefore, were excluded from the calculation of the adjustment.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) - Expected credit losses

In the first half of 2020, there was an increase in the estimated credit losses expected at Copel, in the amount of R$42.3 million, mainly due to the application of macroeconomic projections in the preparation of the estimates due to the worsening of the economic context.

Copel Distribuição - 80.8% efficient

Copel Distribuição recorded an Ebitda of R$1,087.8 million in 2Q20, an amount 278.9% higher than the R$287.1 million recorded in 2Q19. In the last 12 months, the DisCo accumulated an Ebitda of R$2,058.6 million, an amount 80.8% above the regulatory Ebitda of R$1,138.4 million in the same period, equivalent to an efficiency of R$920.2 million.

Considering adjusted EBITDA in the last 12 months, the result was R$1,249.5 million, 9.8% above regulatory EBITDA, equivalent to an efficiency of R$111.0 million. More information in item 4

Investment Program Review

On August 7, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors approved the revision of the Annual Investment Budget (“OAI”) of Copel Geração e Transmissão (“Copel GeT”), which demonstrated a reduction in the order of R$234,544,774.48 (two hundred and thirty-four million, five hundred and forty-four thousand, seven hundred and seventy-four reais and forty-eight cents) in relation to the budget originally approved.

The reduction is due to the revision of the construction schedule due to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and initiatives to re-allocate contributions and renegotiate contracts.

2. Financial Performance

The analyzes below refer to the second quarter of 2020, compared to the same period of 2019.

2.1 Operating Revenues

Net operating revenue totaled R$4,667.3 million in 2Q20, an increase of 26.8% in relation to the R$3,682.1 million recorded in 2Q19. This result is mainly due to (i) the registration of R$897.7 million in the “other operating revenues” line, as a result of the positive effect of R$809.2 million due to the unappealable decision of the lawsuit that recognized the Copel Dis's right to exclude the full amount of Tax on Circulation of Goods and Services - “ ICMS” from the Federal taxes PIS and COFINS calculation basis; and (ii) the positive balance of R$80.7 million from the “result of sectorial financial assets and liabilities”, compared to the negative amount of R$18.7 million in 2Q19, as a result, mainly, of the unbilled supply revenue after the tariff readjustment of June 24, 2019 and for the greater variation of the balances constituted for the readjustment applied as of June 24, 2020. This result was partially offset by the 40.5% reduction in the "distribution of piped gas" line, mainly influenced by the reduction in the volume of gas supply, due to the closure of large customer activities at the beginning of 1Q20 and a reflection of the Covid-19 pandemic that reduced economic activity, mainly in the industrial, commercial and vehicular segments.

Also noteworthy are:

(i) the 4.6% increase in revenue from “use of the main distribution and transmission grid”, essentially due to the positive result of the periodic tariff review of 060/2001 main transmission concession agreement, offset by the reduction in the Distributor's grid market by 5,9%;

(ii) a 8.0% drop in the “revenues from telecommunications” line due to the cancellation of retail customers;

(iii) 1.1% increase in “electricity sales to distributers”, mainly explained by the record of R$51.1 million by Copel Dis with the sale of energy in the spot market, due to the higher volume of energy to be settled at CCEE resulting from the social isolation measures.

Considering the first half of 2020, net operating revenue reached R$8,821.3 million, an amount 16.7% higher than the R$7,561.7 million recorded in the same period of 2019, mainly due to the 4.6% increase in “electricity sales to final costumers”, due to the 1.0% increase in the volume of energy sold to final consumers, partially offset by Copel Distribuição's energy tariff readjustment (TE) of +3.53%, valid as of June 24, 2019.

Also noteworthy are:

(i) 17.0% increase in “electricity sales to distributors”, mainly explained by (a) the increase in the volume of energy traded in bilateral contracts by Copel Comercialização, (b) increase in contracts in the regulated environment due to the operations of new assets, and (c) dispatch from UEGA, which had not operated in 2019; and

(ii) increase of 1.9% in the “use of the main distribution and transmission grid”, essentially due to the positive result of the periodic tariff review of the 060/2001 main transmission concession agreement, offset by the reduction in the Distributor’s grid market by 2.6%.

2.2 Operating Costs and Expenses

In 2Q20, operating costs and expenses increased by 6.3%, totaling R$3,158.5 million, mainly as a result of the 18.2% increase in the “electricity purchased for resale” line, due to (i) the impact of the dollar variation on the energy contract with Itaipu Binacional; (ii) costs related to the Optimization Energy Tariff (TEO), linked to the Energy Reallocation Mechanism (MRE), which represents the transfer of energy from the system to Copel GeT, as a result of the weak hydrology observed in Paraná in the period; and (iii) the higher cost resulting from bilateral contracts to cover the higher volume of energy sold by Copel Comercialização in the free market in the quarter, partially offset by lower costs with the purchase of energy at CCEE, due to the lower average PLD (R$75.47/MWh in 2Q20 compared to R$131.37/MWh in 2Q19).

Also noteworthy is (i) the R$280.0 million recorded in the “depreciation and amortization” line, representing an increase of 7.5% compared to the same period of the previous year, mainly due to the start of commercial operation of generation assets throughout 2019, and (ii) the 11.2% increase in the “provisions and reversals” line, reaching the amount of R$111.8 million, basically reflecting the R$61,4 provision million in impairment UEGA and R$61.2 million for doubtful debts, of which R$ R$52.5 million were recorded at Copel Dis and R$3.7 million at Copel Telecom as a reflection of the effects of the crisis resulting from the pandemic of Covid-19.

This result was partially offset (i) by the 47.9% drop in the “natural gas and supplies for the gas business” line, reflecting the reduced demand for the input, caused by the departure of a large customer and the effects of the pandemic in the market Compagas; and (ii) the 23.2% drop in the “charge for the main distribution and transmission grid”, influenced by the reduction in system services charges (ESS) and transportation from Itaipu.

PMSO costs (except for estimated losses and the provisions and reversals line) grew by 2.0%, mainly due to the 14.1% increase in expenses with “personnel and management”, partially offset by the end of collection, in December 2019, of the Control, Monitoring and Inspection Rate for Exploration Activities and the Use of Water Resources (TCFRH), under the heading “other costs and expenses operating”.

Specifically on costs with “personnel and management”, the increase of 14.1% is related to the higher record of provision for Performance Incentive Program (“PPD”) and Profit Sharing Program (“PLR”), which are due to Company's results. Neutralizing the effects of the provision for PPD and PLR, the “P” line would

have reduced 9.5% in comparison with the same period of the previous year, despite the salary adjustment of 2.92%, according to a collective agreement in October 2019.

Year-to-date until June, total operating costs and expenses reached R$6,467.6 million, 7.5% higher than the R$6,013.6 million recorded in the same period in 2019, mainly due to the increase in 11.8% with electricity purchased for resale, due to the impact of the dollar variation on the energy contract with Itaipu and the higher cost of bilateral contracts to cover the higher volume of energy sold by Copel Comercialização.

The following variations also stand out:

(i) an increase of R$120.6 million in “material and supplies for power eletricity”, due to the UEGA dispatch in 2020;

(ii) a 36.8% reduction in expenses with “natural gas and suppliers for the gas business”, due to the lower volume of acquisition of the input for resale; and

(iii) a 20.7% increase in “provisions and reversals” due to impairment, mainly in UEGA and an increase in expected credit losses in the period, offset by the reversal of the provision for litigation.

2.3 Equity in the Earnings of Subsidiaries

Equity in the earnings of subsidiaries reflects gains and losses from investments in Copel’s investees and jointly-controlled company, are presented in the table below.

2.4 EBITDA

In 2Q20, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization reached R$1,793.3 million, 89.4% higher than the R$947.0 million recorded in 2Q19. This result is explained, basically, by the non-recurring items referring to (i) the favorable decision to Copel Distribuição, which recognizes the right to exclude the full amount of Tax on Circulation of Goods and Services - “ICMS” from the Federal taxes PIS and COFINS calculation basis, which reflected in the registration of R$809,1 million in the “other operating revenues”, due essentially due to the positive result of the periodic tariff review of the 060/2001 main transmission concession agreement.

Excluding non-recurring items, adjusted EBITDA is R979.6 million, 1.2% higher than that recorded in 2Q19, influenced by (i) a 1.2% increase in the “use of main distribuition and transmission grid” line and 1.1% in “electricity sales to distributors” revenue, e in “energy supply” revenue, essentially due to the higher volume of energy sold by Copel Mercado Livre (Copel Comercialização) to free customers and bilateral contracts, respectively, and by (ii) a 23.2% drop in the “charge of the main distribuition and transmission grid”, influenced by the reduction in system services charges ( ESS) and Itaipu transportation charges, partially offset by higher TEO costs due to the weak hydrology of the period.

The items considered non-recurring are shown in the following table:

In the first half, EBITDA grew 44.5% compared to the same period in 2019, while, excluding the non-recurring effects, adjusted EBITDA increased 5.9%. If we do not consider Equity, adjusted EBITDA in 2Q20 would be R$975.1 million, growth of 4.0% in relation to 2Q19, while adjusted EBITDA, without equity in 1H20 would be R$2,167.4 million, an increase of 5.0% in relation to the R$2,064.2 million recorded in 1H19.

2.5 Financial Result

In 2Q20, the financial result was positive by R$904.2 million, compared to a negative R$127.7 million in 2Q19. Financial revenues totaled R$1,109.2 million, an increase of 511.8% compared to the R$181.3 million recorded in the same period of the previous year, reflecting the increase of R$936.5 million in the “tax credit recognition” line, resulting from the exclusion of ICMS from the Federal taxes PIS and COFINS calculation basis, detailed in Note 13.2.1.

Financial expenses totaled R$205.0 million, a balance 33.7% lower than that recorded in 2Q19, as a result of the lower variation in “monetary variation, foreign exchanges and debt service charges” line, mainly the lower interest on loans and financing, partially offset by the increase in “exchange variation about purchase Itaipu eletric power”.

In 1H20, the financial result reached R$809.6 million, compared to a negative R$226.0 million in the same period last year.

2.6 Consolidated Net Income

In 2Q20, Copel recorded net income of R$1,594.9 million, an amount 338.9% higher than the R$363.4 million presented in the same period of 2019, explained, in large part, by the effects of the court decision that excluded the ICMS of the Federal taxes PIS and COFINS calculation basis. Disregarding the non-recurring effects that impacted the result, especially the court decision, adjusted net income for 2Q20 would have been R$514.6 million, an increase of 20.0% in relation to the amount recorded in 2Q19. In the first half, net income increased 146.9% compared to the same period in 2019, while, disregarding the , closing the period at R$2,105.9 million, while, disregarding the non-recurring effects, 1H20 adjusted net income increased 19.4%, to R$1,108.5 million.

The State of Paraná has been strictly meeting the payments under contracted conditions, 58 monthly installments remaining. The outstanding balance of the CRC Account, as of June 30, 2020, is R$1,299.3 million.

Sectorial Financial Assets and Liabilities

As of December 31, 2014, Copel Distribuição has recognized sectorial financial assets and/or liabilities in its financial statements as a result of an amendment to the concession agreement, that guarantees that the residual amounts of items of Portion A and other financial components not recovered or returned via tariffs will be included in, or discounted from, the calculation of the indemnification for non-amortized assets at the expiration of the concession. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had a net asset of R$365.7 million. More detail in our Quarterly Information (Note 9).

Accounts Receivable Related to the Concession

This line refers to accounts receivable related to the contracts for the concession of electric power generation, transmission and distribution, and distribution of natural gas activities. The amounts refer to (i) the concession fee paid as a result of the auction involving the Governador Parigot de Souza Power Plant – HPP GPS, won by Copel GeT on November 25, 2015 (R$646.4 million), (ii) its investments in infrastructure and financial remuneration that have not been or will not be recovered via tariffs until the expiration of the concession (R$868.6 million), (iii) the amounts receivable from energy transmission assets of the Existing System Basic Network – RBSE and connection facilities and other transmission facilities - RPC, as a result of the recognition of the effects of MME Ordinance No. 120 and the approval, by Aneel, of the result of the inspection of the appraisal report of these assets (R$721.5 million) and (iv) the gas distribution concession agreement - Compagas (R$324.3 million) and (v) to the electricity generation concession contract due to the expiration of the concessions of HPP GPS and HPP Mourão I (R$71.2 million).

Contract Assets

CPC 47/IFRS 15 came into effect on January 1, 2018 and brought the concept of “contract assets” referring to the right to consideration conditioned to the compliance with obligations to operate and maintain infrastructure, rather than passage of time only (concept of “financial asset”). Consequently, the Company changed the classification of assets related to the concession of electric power distribution and transmission, and distribution of piped gas services into contract assets. The construction works for the distribution of electric power and piped gas are now classified as contract assets during the construction period (reclassification from ongoing intangible assets into contract assets). The Company also changed the classification to contract assets of RBSE assets ratified for consideration after the first Permitted Annual Revenue - APR cycle, which started in July 2017. On June 30, 2020, the account balance totaled R$4,413.3 million. More details in our Quarterly Information (Note 11).

Investments, Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets

The balance in the “investments” account grew 7.17% in 2Q20, mainly reflecting the equity in earnings and the investments recorded in the period. The “fixed assets” account decreased 1.55%, mainly due to the depreciation of the period. The “intangible” account increased by 1.23% due to investments in new energy distribution assets made in the period.

Right-of-use assets

With the adoption of CPC 06 (R2) / IFRS 16, the company recognized the right-of-use asset. The pronouncement replaces CPC 06 (R1) / IAS 17 - Leases, as well as related interpretations (ICPC 03 / IFRIC 4, SIC 15 and SIC 27). The adoption of the new standard eliminates the accounting of operating lease for the lessee, presenting a single lease model consisting of initially recognizing all leases in assets and liabilities at present value and recognizing the depreciation of the right-of-use asset and the interest of the lease separately in the result. As of June 30, 2020, the balance of the account totaled R$129.1 million. More details in our Quarterly Information (Note 28).

3.4 Balance Sheet – Liabilities

4. Performance of the Main Companies

4.1 Copel Geração e Transmissão (Consolidated Result)

Copel GeT recorded an EBITDA of R$602.2 million in 2Q20, an increase of 9.0% in relation to the R$552.3 million recorded in 2Q19. This performance mainly reflects the 10.1% increase in net operating revenue recorded in 2Q20 (R$1,036.8 million in 2Q20 versus R$941.6 million in 2Q19), mainly due to (i) an increase of 52,7% under the “use of the main distribution and transmission grid”, basically due to the tariff review of 060/2001 main transmission concession agreement; and (ii) a 4.4% increase in revenue from "electricity sales to distributors", due to the higher volume of energy sold through bilateral contracts; partially offset by the 20.8% drop in revenue from “electricity sales to final customers”, reflecting the lower volume of energy sold to free consumers in the quarter compared to the same period last year.

Operating costs and expenses increased 13.2%, mainly due to the recording of R$62.4 million in the “provisions and reversals” account, mainly due to the provision of R$61.4 million related to impairment at UEGA . Also noteworthy is the positive effect of R$2.0 million in the result of “equity in earnings of subsidiaries” in the period, compared to the negative effect of R$9.3 million in 2Q19.

Manageable costs, excluding provisions and reversals, decreased by 10.2%, mainly due to (i) the 16.5% reduction in “third party services” and (ii) the 53.0% decrease in the line “other operating costs and expenses”, as a result of the revocation of the law that instituted the Control, Monitoring and Inspection Rate of Exploration Activities and the Use of Water Resources (TCFRH).

Excluding the effects of provisions for Performance Incentive Program – “PPD” and Profit Sharing Program – “PLR’ , the personal and management account registered a 4.5% growth in relation to the amounts recorded in 2Q19.

Excluding the extraordinary effects listed below, Copel GeT's adjusted EBITDA decreased by 2.7% in relation to 2Q19, mainly reflecting the higher costs with related to the Energy Optimization Tariff (TEO), linked to the Energy Reallocation Mechanism (MRE), which represents the energy transfer from the interconnected system to Copel GeT, as a consequence of the weak hydrology verified in Paraná in the period. In 2Q20, costs of R$43.5 million related to TEO were recorded, while in 2Q19 revenue of R$11.9 million was recorded, totaling a variation of R$55.4 million between the periods.

In the second quarter of 2020, Copel GeT had a net income of R$264.8 million, 56.3% higher than the R$169.4 million recorded in 2Q19.

4.2 Copel Distribuição

Copel Distribuição recorded EBITDA of R$1,087.8 million in 2Q20 compared to R$287.1 million recorded in 2Q19. This result reflects the positive effect of R$809.2 million in the results due to the unappealable decision of the lawsuit that recognized the company's right to exclude ICMS from the Federal taxes PIS and COFINS calculation basis. Adjusted EBITDA in 2Q20, excluding non-recurring items, was R$301.1 million, 4.9% higher than the R$287.1 million in 2Q19.

This result is mainly due to (i) the tariff readjustment applied as of June 24, 2019, which provided a 6.3% growth in Portion B revenue; (ii) the positive effect of R$31.0 million for the month of June 2020 due to the annual tariff adjustment cycle 2020/2021; (iii) the positive effect of R$80.7 million in the item “Result of sectorial financial assets and liabilities” in view of the negative impact of R$18.7 million in 2Q19; (iv) the 23.7% reduction in expenses with “charge for the main distribution and transmission grid”, mainly due to the reversal of the financial surplus of ESS (System Service Charges) in the amount of R$93.5 million, according to the Order Aneel nº 986/2020, partially offset by the 5.9% drop in the grid market as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic that reduced economic activity, essentially in the industrial and commercial class of consumers, impacting the reduction of 1.63% in “electricity sales to final customers” and 1.96% in “use of the main distribution and transmission grid” revenues.

Manageable costs, except for provisions and reversals and the extraordinary event related to PIS/COFINS, grew 5.6% compared to 2Q19, mainly due to (i) the 10.7% increase in expenses with “personnel and management", due to provisions for performance (PPD) and profit sharing (PLR) and the 2.92% salary adjustment applied in October 2019 and; (ii) costs with third-party services, which increased by 9.8% due to higher expenses with maintenance of the electrical system and customer service.

The “personnel and management” account, with the exception of the effects of provisions for performance and profit sharing, recorded a decrease of 16.9% in relation to the amounts recorded in 2Q19, mainly due to the reduction in the number of employees through the incentive dismissal program (PDI) held at the end of 2019.

4.3 Copel Telecomunicações

Copel Telecom recorded an EBITDA of R$52.6 million in 2Q20, compared to R$33.2 million recorded in 2Q19, mainly reflecting the reduction of 14.4% in manageable costs compared to the same period in 2019, due to (i) the 19.4% reduction in third-party services due to better conditions in the acquisition of services associated with the implementation of telecommunications networks and (ii) the reversal of the provision of R$18.3 million, due to the reversal of impairment in the period, as a result of depreciation, effecting write-offs and recovery of provisioned equipment, referring to assets with a loss record. This cost reduction was partially offset by the 8.0% reduction in net operating revenue, as a result of the decrease in the customer base.

The “third-party service” account totaled R$18.7 million in 2Q20, a 19.4% reduction compared to 2Q19, due to (i) a significant reduction in the monthly values of circuit maintenance services, as a result of a bid held in 12/2019; and (ii) the contractual review of the outsourced call center service, which provided an optimization of the service provided, with a 27% reduction in the cost of this service compared to 2019.

Except for asset write-offs related to customer infrastructure deactivations and the estimated losses by COVID-19, Copel Telecom's adjusted EBITDA was R$41.9 million compared to R$45.6 million recorded in 2Q19.

In 2Q20, Copel Telecom had a profit of R$9.2 million compared to R$0.8 million in the same period last year. The following table shows its main indicators:

4.4 Copel Comercialização (Copel Energia)

Copel Energia registered an EBITDA of R$28.9 million in 2Q20, an amount 50.3% higher than the R$19.2 million in 2Q19, mainly due to the effect of fair value (Mark-to Market) on the purchase and sale of energy, in the amounting to R$31.1 million, registered in the “other operating revenues” line, which makes up the operating income. The main reasons that justify such registration are the variation of the market price curve and the reduction of the discount rate used (NTN-B) due to the fall in the basic rate of the economy. Also noteworthy is the 56.7% growth in revenue from “electricity sales to final customers”, due to the increase in the volume of energy sold to free customers and bilateral contracts, partially offset by the 32.0% increase in “electricity purchased for resale”.

Except for the effect of fair value in the purchase and sale of energy and the estimated loss by COVID-19, EBITDA in 2Q20 would be negative R$1 million, compared to R$14.6 million in 2Q19.

5. Investment Program

The following chart shows the investment program carried out in 2Q20 and scheduled for 2020:

6. Power Market and Tariffs

6.1 Captive Market – Copel Distribuição

Copel Distribuição’s captive market energy sales totaled 4,554 GWh in 2Q20, a decrease of 5.8%, as a consequence of the reduction in the consumption of commercial and industrial customers, mainly reflecting the strong decrease in the level of economic activity, effect of Covid-19 pandemic, partially offset by the 5.2% growth in consumption in the residential segment, influenced by the social isolation measures implemented since the second half of March that motivated people to stay at their homes. The following table shows the behavior of the captive market by consumption class:

For further details, access the Notice to the Market - IR 20/20 (link).

6.2 Grid Market (TUSD)

Copel Distribuição’s grid market, comprising the captive market, concessionaires and licensees in the state of Paraná, and all free consumers in the Company’s concession area, adjusted by removing consumers connected at 230 kV from the basis of comparison^[1], decreed by 5.9% in terms of energy consumption in 2Q20, as illustrated in the following table:

^[1] According to Aneel’s Normative Resolution no. 722/2016, consumers connected at 230kV voltage level must be part of the Basic Grid. The migration of these customers does not imply a reduction in revenue for the remuneration of the Distributor.

This result is mainly due to the reduction in economic activity in several areas due to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, negatively impacting the free market consumption by 6.7% in 2Q20, which can be seen in the reduction of industrial production in the State of Paraná (decrease of 30.6% in April and 18.1% in May). The result was partially offset by the 5.2% increase in consumption by the residential class and 3.3% by the rural class.

6.3 Electricity Sales

Copel’s electricity supply —the volume of energy sold to final customers, which comprises sales in Copel Distribuição’s captive market and free market sales by Copel Geração e Transmissão and Copel Comercialização — decreased by 2.4% between April and June 2020.

The breakdown of energy sales by segment is illustrated below:
