Earnings Release | 4Q23 | 7 |
1.1.3. | Power Generation |
The reduction of approximately 14% in net generation in 2023 when compared to 2022 was mainly due to the levels of Affluent Natural Energies (ENA) in the river basins of the North and Northeast regions, which registered a reduction, and the Southeast, Midwest and South regions, which registered an increase, both influenced by the El Niño climate phenomenon. In addition, in 2022 the Eletrobras System accounted for energy generated by Itaipu and Eletronuclear until the privatization.

2.1. | Operating Revenues |
2.1.1. | Generation |
In 4Q23, generation revenue was R$7,221 million, up R$416 million compared to 4Q22, mainly reflecting higher revenues from: (a) supply of R$690 million and (b) the short-term market (CCEE) of R$246 million, partially offset by lower revenues from: (c) operation and maintenance of R$202 million and (d) supply of R$43 million.
Earnings Release | 4Q23 | 12 |
Power supply for distribution companies
Revenue from power supply for distribution companies is obtained from customers who are not end consumers, such as distributors, traders and generators. In 4Q23, this revenue was R$4,860 million, up R$690 million compared to 4Q22, mainly reflecting the consolidation of the SPEs in the amount of R$341 million: Teles Pires (R$272 million in Eletronorte), Baguari (R$53 million in Furnas) and Retiro Baixo (R$16 million in Furnas).
In addition, the following effects at Furnas stand out: (a) R$131 million increase in revenue from ACR contracts, extended as a result of renegotiation of hydrological risk of Mascarenhas de Moraes plant and (b) a greater quantity of energy contracted in the ACL, from 1,823 GWh in 4Q22 to 2,410 GWh in 4Q23, representing increase of R$91 million. At Chesf, revenues from supply increased by R$132 million as a result of the 374 MW increase in aMW sold on the ACL compared to the same period last year.
Power supply for end consumers
Revenue from power supply for end consumers, in turn, is obtained directly from the end consumer, such as industries or retailers. In 4Q23, revenues from procurement this kind of supply were R$934 million, down R$43 million compared to 4Q22.
The reduction in revenue from power supply for end consumers is primarily due to the lower volume of energy sold to industrial consumers covered by Law 13.182/15, specifically energy from the Itumbiara HPP in Furnas. This reduction was caused by unilateral cancellations by customers of part of the contracted procurement volumes. The impact of the reduction at Furnas was R$53 million, which was offset by: (a) the entry of new contracts in the ACL (R$19 million); and (b) the use of surplus energy for resale activities at SAESA (R$33 million). In turn, Eletronorte reported a reduction of R$24 million in revenues from procurement in 4Q23, of which R$19 million was related to a reduction in Albrás' revenues, due to an 8% reduction in the client’s average price reflecting variations in the parameters used to calculate the sale price (dollar, sector charges, average aluminum prices).
CCEE Revenue
CCEE (short-term market) revenue was R$387 million, up R$246 million compared to 4Q22, due to the increase in energy settled (higher GSF %) and in the PLD in 4Q23 compared to the same period in 2022. Of note were the following increases: Eletronorte of R$103 million, Chesf R$69 million and Furnas R$65 million.
Operation and Maintenance Revenue - Plants Renewed by Law 12.783/2013
Revenues from operation and maintenance were R$1,040 million, down R$202 million from 4Q22, mainly reflecting the start of the gradual decotization process of the quota-holding plants (20% each year), mitigated by the effects of the annual readjustment of the Annual Generation Revenue - RAG, in accordance with Homologation Resolution No. 3,068/2022 (2022-2023 cycle) and Homologation Resolution No. 3,225/2023 (2023-2024 cycle), impacting Eletronorte, Chesf and Furnas.

2.1.3. | Transmission |
Transmission revenue was R$4,558 million in 4Q23, a 26% increase over 4Q22, mainly from construction revenue which went up R$813 million, O&M up R$109 million and contractual transmission revenue up R$4 million.
Operation & Maintenance (O&M) revenue
O&M revenue increased by R$109 million, mainly due to the publication of Aneel Homologation Resolution 3216/2023, effective as of July/2023, which primarily includes the tariff readjustment for the 23/24 cycle, as well as the partial recognition of the Periodic Tariff Review (RTP) of some tendered contracts.
Eletronorte's O&M revenue increased by R$62 million, mainly reflecting the R$54 million increase related to renewed contract 058/2001. The results for the other companies were: Furnas with
+R$31 million, CGT Eletrosul with +R$22 million and Chesf with -R$10 million.
Construction Revenue
The construction revenue for the period is directly related to the investments made (appropriated and allocated) in the transmission projects in progress. Construction revenue totaled R$1,272 million, up R$813 million, mainly reflecting the R$372 million investment in Furnas' renewed contract 062/2001, Eletronorte's contract 058/2001 for R$273 million and Chesf's contract for R$122 million (CT 061/2001).
Contractual Finance Revenue
The contractual finance revenue is associated with the application of inflationary indices to the balances of the contract assets of each concession. The accumulated IPCA for October-December/2022 was 0.71%, while for October-December/2023 it was 0.78%. As for the IGP-M, the percentage varied from-2.46% to 1.46%.
Earnings Release | 4Q23 | 15 |
The impact on the Eletrobras companies was: (a) CGT Eletrosul: +R$16 million; (b) Chesf: +R$1.4 million; (c) Furnas: -R$6 million, specifically contract 062 (RBNI R$19.2 million and RBSE -R$47.6 million) and (d) Eletronorte: -R$7.6 million (RBNI R$11.1 million and RBSE -R$18.7 million). The negative variation in RBSE amounts was due to the reduction in the average base as a result of the amortization of the existing balance.
This effect is due to the application of IFRS rules and differs from the regulatory revenue, which was adjusted in July 2023, according to Homologation Resolution No. 3.216/23.

Regulatory Revenue
Regulatory transmission revenue varied between quarters due to: (i) re-profiling of RBSE of around R$915 million, (ii) monetary restatement by IPCA (most contracts) or IGP-M, of around R$120 million; and (ii) new investments, tariff revisions and adjustment portions and others, of around R$196 million. It should be noted that Aneel has extended the approval of the full RAP, resulting from the RTP, for concession contracts 057/2001, 058/2001, 061/2001 and 062/2001 to 2024.
It should also be noted that the main difference between regulatory and IFRS revenue in 4Q23 was due to the increase in RBSE's RAP as a result of the re-profiling reported above. Under IFRS, the increase in RAP due to the re-profiling did not result in the recognition of revenue, given that the balance of the contractual asset already provides for the increases in RAP, while under the regulatory method revenue is only recognized when the RAP is invoiced.

Approved RAP x Regulatory Revenue 4Q23
The graph below shows the reconciliation between Approved RAP and regulatory revenue in 4Q23. Approved RAP corresponds to 3/12 of the RAP defined by Aneel. The Approved Adjustment Portion (AP) consists of 3/12 of the adjustment portion defined by Aneel for the availability of the facilities under Eletrobras' responsibility for the 2023/2024 cycle by means of Homologation Resolution 3216/2023. The discount on the variable portion is associated with the unavailability of transmission facilities, as regulated by Module 4 of the transmission rules.
The CDE/Proinfa amounts refer to the energy development account and the incentive program for alternative sources of power, considered in the credit notices (AVC) issued by the ONS as pass through. CDE Fund refers to the amounts relating to the CDE Fund (pass through) with PIS/Cofins. These amounts are not collected due to tariff discounts. It should be noted that these revenues should be treated as pass-through, since the transmission companies have the role of collecting this sector charge.

Other revenues were R$79 million in 4Q23, down R$287 million compared to 4Q22. This was attributable to: (a) Eletronorte down R$164 million, due to the reclassification of R$117 million from CDE + PROINFA, which was accounted for in other revenues in 4Q22 and were allocated to O&M Revenues in 4Q23; and (b) Furnas down R$86 million, mainly due to actuarial gains (R$77 million) that occurred in 4Q22 and had no counterpart in 4Q23.

In 4Q23, energy purchased for resale totaled R$942 million, down R$34 million compared to 4Q22, primarily from (i) Furnas which was down R$111 million, due to the lower average price and quantity contracted, partially offset by (ii) Eletronorte which was up R$32 million due to the increase in energy purchased for resale from Teles Pires and (iii) CGT Eletrosul which was up R$37 million influenced by the expense of R$30 million relating to GSF insurance.
Earnings Release | 4Q23 | 18 |
2.3.2. | Charges on use of the electricity grid |
In 4Q23, the charges on use of the electricity grid were R$984 million, up R$220 million compared to 4Q22, reflecting the adjustments in Aneel Homologation Resolution 3,217/2023, as well as the increase of approximately R$167 million in Eletronorte from the consolidation of Teles Pires.
2.3.3. | Fuel for Electricity Production |
In 4Q23, the costs associated with the use of fuels to produce electricity totaled R$602 million, up R$58 million YoY, primarily due to the R$46 million impact at Eletronorte due to the readjustment of contractual gas price and increase in gas consumption at the Mauá 3 and Aparecida TPPs, to serve the Out of the Merit and Price Order (FOMP) dispatches.
2.3.4. | Construction |
In 4Q23, construction costs totaled R$1,371 million, up R$628 million YoY due to Furnas’ R$381 million investments linked to the renewed 062/2001 contract; and (b) Eletronorte costs of R$284 million, mainly reflecting the R$272 million increase in the renewed 058/2001 contract.
2.3.5. | PMSO - Personnel, Material, Services and Other |
Staff
Recurring personnel costs were R$1,005 million in 4Q23, a 14% reduction compared to R$1,170 million in 4Q22, mainly reflecting the savings related to the dismissal of 2,811 employees at Eletrobras companies from the two Voluntary Dismissal Plans (VDPs), and the R$53 million increase from the 4.18% salary readjustment under the current Collective Bargaining Agreement. The number of employees was reduced by 14%, from 9,670 in 2022 to 8,328 in 2023.
Non-recurring items: VDP Incentive Plans totaling R$25 million and retroactive impact of profit sharing based on the 2023 results of R$208 million in December/2023.
Material
Material costs totaled R$99 million, up R$7 million compared to 4Q22, with no significant variations and no non-recurring effects in the quarter.
Services
Recurring services costs totaled R$576 million, down R$212 million from 4Q22, mainly reflecting costs at Furnas, down R$104 million and Eletronorte, down R$86 million. This decrease was partially offset by the R$69 million increase at the holding company, including R$46 million spent on consultancy and auditing as well as R$17 million on Legal Services.
Earnings Release | 4Q23 | 19 |
Non-recurring items: R$80 million in the holding company related to consultancies for the Transformation Office.
Others
Other recurring costs and expenses totaled R$135 million in 4Q23, down R$303 million compared to 4Q22, reflecting: (a) R$156 million reduction at Furnas due to reclassifications under Indemnities and Condemnations, which is now allocated to Operating Provisions; and (b) the holding company, with a total reduction of R$97 million, resulting from operating losses due to the transfer of the energy trading activity from Itaipu to ENBPar of R$62 million, besides the R$21 million reduction in Legal Costs.

§ | Provision for Litigation: went from a reversal of R$379 million in 4Q22 to a provision of R$380 million in 4Q23, highlighting R$191 million at Chesf, due to tax provisions, primarily the ICMS-AL process of around R$203 million, R$108 million at Furnas in civil, tax and environmental contingencies. Finally, in the Parent Company, there was a reversal of R$24 million in compulsory loan contingencies, due to savings resulting from discounts on agreements of R$497 million, which was negatively offset, in part, by the constitution of a provision of R$473 million due to unfavorable decisions in specific lawsuits. These lawsuits are being dealt with in court and are also being negotiated, with the possibility of reversal in future quarters. |
§ | Onerous contracts: R$862 million in 4Q23, influenced by onerousness provisions on trading contracts attributed, in particular, to Jirau and Hermenegildo. Noteworthy also was Chesf with R$389 million and CGT Eletrosul with R$357 million. |
Earnings Release | 4Q23 | 22 |
§ | Measurement of Assets for sale: amounted to a reversal of R$742 million in 4Q23, driven by Furnas' increase of R$632 million , mainly due to the difference between the book value and the appraised value of HPP Santa Cruz, which was reclassified to "Asset held for Sale". |
§ | Impairment: In 4Q23, the Eletrobras companies applied the impairment test to long-term assets, recording a provision of R$956 million in the period. Highlights include (i) CGT Eletrosul with R$764 million provisioned for the valuation of its generating units, in particular, WPP Coxilha Negra at R$592 million and SHPP João Borges at R$57 million; and (ii) Eletronorte with R$262 million from HPP Samuel. |

Earnings Release | 4Q23 | 25 |
In 4Q23, the adjusted financial result was negative R$2,123 million, compared to negative R$1,643 million in 4Q22. The main variations in 4Q23 were:
§ | Lower debt charges, of R$1,269 million in 4Q23 down from R$1,542 million in 4Q22. This improvement was mainly due to the reduction in charges incurred at SAESA in the amount of R$128.8 million with the restructuring of the Company's debt with the BNDES in November/2023, comprising: (i) prepayment of the estimated portion of R$2 billion; and (ii) assumption of approximately R$11.5 billion by Eletrobras. There was also a reduction of R$68 million in the charges related to the issuance of debentures’ commercial notes due to the deferral of the cost of structuring the 2023 debentures (R$225 million) recognized in Eletrobras' results in 3Q23. |
§ | Monetary restatement (Selic rate) on the provision for contingency for compulsory loans declined from R$286 million in 4Q22 to R$238 million in 4Q23, due to the reduction in the provision inventory and the Selic rate variation in the period. |
§ | CDE obligation charges and CDE monetary updates (IPCA financial expenses + charges on the outstanding balance of CDE obligations, the charge being 7.6% per year) amounted to R$810 million in 4Q23. These obligations were established by Law 14.182/21 (Privatization of Eletrobras), as one of the conditions for obtaining new electricity generation concession grants 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. |
§ | River basin revitalization charges (5.67% charge), of R$91 million in 4Q23, and Monetary updates - river basins of R$89 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 electricity 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. |
§ | Exchange rate variations: negative variation in the exchange rate update in the amount of R$239 million, due to the 2.4% depreciation of the dollar against the real observed in 4Q22 in foreign currency financing, contributing to a positive result of R$215 million in that quarter. 4Q23 was influenced by the Cross Currency Swap, as described below. |
§ | Variations in derivatives: negative variation in derivatives in the amount of R$498 million due to: (a) losses with derivatives at Eletronorte of R$317 million in 4Q23, influenced by the variation in the quantity of energy, macroeconomic indices (dollar and Selic) and the projection of the price of aluminum on the London Metal Exchange - LME for 12 months, which is used as a benchmark for payment of the premium provided for in the contract with Albras; and (b) variation in the fair value of the debt linked to the CDI resulting from the Cross Currency Swap operation in the notional amount of R$6,325 million, with the objective of protecting the bonds issued against exchange variation. An expense of R$147 million was recorded at the holding company in 4Q23 and R$33 million was recorded at CGT Eletrosul, with no counterpart in 4Q22. |
§ | Other financial expenses: non recurrent PIS/Cofins on the IOE issued by Furnas and Eletronorte in the amount of R$146 million. |

In 4Q23, current and deferred taxes were a debt balance of R$358 million, down 46% YoY, mainly due to the Interest on Equity from subsidiaries Furnas and Eletronorte in the total amount of R$1,580 million which generated tax savings of R$453 million, and the constitution of deferred tax assets of R$2,454 million relating to SAESA.

3. | Debt and receivables |
Gross debt was R$60.8 billion, down R$9.7 billion QoQ and up R$1.7 billion YoY. The increase in gross debt compared to the same period last year was due to the conclusion of the consolidation process of SPE Teles Pires, which added R$2.7 billion to debt, as well as significant issues of capital market instruments in August and September, through Furnas, CGT Eletrosul e Eletrobras holding company, for a total of R$10.7 billion.
The QoQ reduction was mainly due to the settlement of the Eletrobras Commercial Note in the first half of October, in the amount of approximately R$6.2 billion, and the prepayment of R$2.1 billion relating to the debts of Santo Antônio Energia S.A. (SAESA), which led to a subsequent reduction in the holding company's consolidated indebtedness.
The early repayments and funding reduced the average term of the debt by around 5.5 months and cost was reduced by 92 bps, resulting in an average cost of CDI + 1.5091% p.a. at the end of the period.
The net debt/adjusted EBITDA ratio reached 2.2x in 4Q23.

4.2. | RBSE |
In April 2023, ANEEL issued Technical Note 085/2023, which addresses the comments on the calculations presented as part of the payment of RBSE's financial component in Technical Note 085/2022-SGT/ANEEL of June 2022, which in turn revisited the requests for reconsideration filed as part of payment of RBSE's financial component and re-profiling. The document does not constitute a decision by ANEEL, and therefore has no practical effect as of the date of publication of this document, since it depends on a decision by the ANEEL board, and therefore had no impact on Homologation Resolution 3216/23, which established the RAPs for the 2023-2024 cycle. The Company continues to monitor and act on the issue so that the assumptions, methodologies and calculations considered so far remain in force.

Prosperity | Investment in Technology and Innovation | R$534.2 MN | R$512.3 MN | 4,3% | Target of investing 1.4% of Net Operating Revenue in Technology and Innovation for 2022 achieved. |
Planet | GHG Emissions (Scopes 1, 2 and 3) (tCO2e) | R$5.6 MN | R$5.6 MN | 0,5% | Increased emissions by TPPs and IEPs (Independent Energy Producers), due to the drought in the North of the country throughout 2023 and, consequently, a greater use of thermal power plants. |
People | Accident Frequency Rate - own employees (with time off) | 2.10 | 2.65 | -20.8% | 4Q23: 38 accidents |
4Q22: 58 accidents | |||||
The reduction in the "Accident Frequency Rate with lost time - own employees" is due to actions arising from the Occupational Health and Safety Culture Program started in 2020, with the support of an external consultancy, which focused on own employees. As a follow-up, the new OHS culture project was launched in 2023 through the "Tá Ligado" and "Manifesta pela Vida" campaigns, which are being rolled out in initiatives for the entire workforce. | |||||
Women in the workforce (%) | 17.7% | 19.0% | -6.8% | Movements in the workforce are the result of Voluntary Dismissal Plans and organizational restructuring, with fewer managerial positions. | |
Management positions held by women (%) | 23.0% | 24.0% | -4.1% | ||
Governance | Risk Management Maturity Level | 3.8 | 3 | 26.7% | 95% of the target was achieved. Result determined by external assessment, based on the IBGC framework. Of the seven pillars assessed, the Company achieved/exceeded the target in two: Risk Management Governance and Risk Management Policy. |
Investigation of complaints dealt within the term (%) | 98% | 96% | 2.1% | The better-than-target result is due to the consolidation of the calculation process in a centralized manner, optimizing the activity. |
Note: The figures presented are partial, preliminary and not assured, and may be adjusted in line with the processes of calculating, verifying and updating the data.

7.3. | Appendix 3 - Compulsory Loan |
In the context of the compulsory loan on electricity (ECE) lawsuits, which discuss the monetary update of book credits, the Company has been taking steps to mitigate the risks involved and has created the Compulsory Loan Department, with the aim of strengthening strategic action in legal defenses and seeking court settlements with discounts and full settlement of the respective lawsuits.
As a result of these negotiations, Eletrobras reduced its inventory of such loans by R$1.890 billion to R$17.263 billion in 4Q23, mainly as a result of the agreements reached, which resulted in a R$497 million reduction in the provision, with a direct positive effect on the bottom line, offset by the net constitution of provision in the amount of R$485 million as a result of unfavorable decisions in specific lawsuits. Eletrobras is taking legal action to reverse these unfavorable decisions.
In the financial results, monetary update declined to R$236 million in 4Q23 from R$284 million in 4Q22 due to the reduction in the provision inventory, as mentioned above.
Since 3Q22, when negotiations on the compulsory loan began, and the inventory of provisions for lawsuits involving book-credits for the compulsory loans was R$25.8 billion, there has been a reduction of R$8.6 billion in this inventory, despite the accumulated monetary update of R$1.6 billion between the periods, which is in line with the Company's strategy of reducing legal liabilities. The legal agreements reached led to the elimination of off-balance sheet risk of R$4.4 billion, of which R$578 million in possible and R$3.8 billion in remote. When compared to 4Q22, provisioned inventory decreased by R$7.1 billion, despite the R$1.3 billion monetary update. The legal agreements reached led to the elimination of off-balance sheet risk of R$3.7 billion, of which R$505 million in possible and R$3.2 billion in remote.
* Considering that Eletrobras has already signed legal agreements with Creditors, which are only awaiting ratification for due payment, the amounts have been reclassified to liabilities.
