Eletrobras releases results for the 3rd quarter of 2023

 

Eletrobras posted a solid operational and financial performance in 3Q23, marked by the acceleration of its strategic agenda aimed at creating value.

 

Operational

·In the generation segment, we had an increase of 928 MW in our installed capacity, mainly reflecting the incorporation of the Teles Pires hydroelectric plant.
·In the transmission segment, we are implementing 194 large-scale projects, with associated annual permitted revenue (RAP) of R$ 958 million per year.

Structuring of the commercialization area

·In July, Eletrobras received authorization to act as an electricity trading agent within the scope of the Electricity Trading Chamber - CCEE.
·In September, Mr. Ítalo Tadeu de Carvalho Freitas Filho was elected as the Company's Vice President of Commercialization.

1.Operating Result
1.1.Generation Segment
1.1.1.Generation Assets

In 3Q23, we had 100 power plants, of which 47 were hydroelectric, 43 wind, 9 thermal and 1 solar, including Corporate enterprises, companies subject to Shared Ownership and ownership interests via SPEs (Special Purpose Companies).

 

Our installed capacity reached 43,816 MW in the quarter, considering Corporate enterprises, Shared Ownership and ownership via SPEs, which represents 22% of the total installed capacity in Brazil. Our installed capacity increased by around 928 MW in the period due to the incorporation of Teles Pires, partially offset by the reduction of 127 MW from the swap of HPP Dardanelos with Neoenergia. Of our total installed capacity, around 96% comes from clean sources, with low greenhouse gas emissions.

1.1.3.Power Generation

Net generation in 9M23 was 22% lower than in 9M22, mainly reflecting the privatization effects with the deconsolidation of Eletronuclear and the sale of Itaipu, unscheduled maintenance to improve performance at the Aparecida and Mauá 3 TPPs, an increase in scheduled annual overhauls over the years at the Santa Cruz TPP and unscheduled unavailability at the Tucuruí HPP in 3Q23.

Three projects that will add almost 330.45 MW to Eletrobras' installed capacity between 2023 and 2024 are still under construction. These include the 302.4 MW Coxilha Negra wind farm in Rio Grande do Sul and the 27 MW Casa Nova B wind farm in Bahia.

 

Regarding the Coxilha Negra Wind Farm, we can highlight the progress made on the Transmission Lines, which are in the commissioning and demobilization phase.

 

With regard to the Casa Nova B wind farm, it is estimated that work on the 34.5kV medium-voltage network, which will connect the wind turbines to the Casa Nova II substation, will begin in November 2023.

1.2.Commercialization Segment
1.2.1.Energy sold in 3Q23

 

In terms of the evolution of the energy market, Eletrobras Companies sold 32.8 TWh of energy in 3Q23, down 16.1% compared to 39.1 TWh traded in 3Q22, especially in the O&M regime, due to the quota decoupling process that is taking place gradually over a 5-year period starting in 2023, as well as the decontracting.

1. Not included in the balance sheet, whether in resources, requirements (sales) or average prices, are the PIE contracts (gas-fired thermal plants) resulting from the Amazonas Distribuidora de-verticalization process, the thermal availability contracts and the Physical Guarantee Quotas. These resources are presented in order to make up the total resources considered.

2. Company Resources include plants involved in the decoupling of quotas (in the percentage that corresponds to the annual decoupling of quotas) and the total Additional Grants (Sobradinho, Itumbiara, Tucuruí, Curuá-Una and Mascarenhas de Moraes). For the hydroelectric projects, an estimate of GFIS2 was considered, i.e. the Physical Guarantee taking into account the Adjustment Factors due to Internal Losses, Losses in the Basic Grid and Availability and adjustments due to the particularities of the portfolio.

3. The revised Physical Guarantee amounts, as defined in Ordinance No. 709/GM/MME, of November 30, 2022, are taken into account.

4. With the Quota Decoupling process, the plants currently under the quota regime will be granted a new concession under the Independent Energy Producer (PIE) regime, which is being implemented gradually over a 5-year period starting in 2023. The Physical Guarantee amounts were defined in Ordinance GM/MME No. 544/21.

5. This takes into account the new concession grants from 2023 onwards for the Sobradinho, Itumbiara, Tucuruí, Curuá-Una and Mascarenhas de Moraes plants, whose Physical Guarantee amounts were defined in Ordinance GM/MME No. 544/21.

6. It should be noted that, for the contracts in the ACL, there have been reductions in the contracted amounts agreed under the aegis of Law 13182/2015 (HPP Itumbiara), under the terms of §§ 12, 12-A and 12-B of art. 10 of the aforementioned ordinance, transcribed in Clause 6 of the contracts, which take effect from the years 2023 and 2024. The amounts presented take these reductions into account, but also include the volumes of the new contracts already signed.

7. The figures show an estimate of decontracted energy. For the year 2023, CCEE's GSF estimate, from the CCEE Informa of April 25, 2023, of 86.1%, was considered. For the other years, a historical average GSF value from 2017 to 2022 of 80.1% was considered. Source: CCEE, obtained from the CCEE website, at the following link: https://www.ccee.org.br/dados-e-analises/dados-geracao, under the MRE option in the panel. It should be noted that this is only an estimate, based on facts that occurred in the past.

2.1.Operating Revenues
2.1.1.Generation

 

In 3Q23, generation revenue was R$6,417 million, down R$337 million compared to 3Q22, mainly reflecting lower revenues from: (a) operation and maintenance of R$293 million, (b) supply of R$141 million, and (c) procurement of R$38 million, partially offset by higher revenues from CCEE of R$140 million.

Revenue from Procurement

Revenue from procurement is obtained from customers who are not end consumers, such as distributors, traders and generators. In 3Q23, revenue from procurement amounted to R$4,214 million, a reduction of R$38 million compared to 3Q22.

 

In the Regulated contracting environment (ACR), Eletronorte stood out with (i) an increase of R$53 million in ACR sales revenue, due to higher contract prices (3Q22 R$695.65/MWh X 3Q23 R$710.64/MWh) related to the 19.14% readjustments in the fixed revenue of the inflexible portion (90% - IPCA and 10% sale price of natural gas on the futures market (NYMEX- NG1); (ii) an increase of R$9 million due to the increase in the average MW sold in 3Q23 (19% higher than 3Q22).

 

Earnings Release | 3Q23

In the Free Contracting Environment (ACL), CGT Eletrosul had the biggest impact, with a reduction in revenue of R$117.0 million due to the seasonal changes of purchase contracts and physical guarantees, from 398 MWavg to 340 MWavg. Eletronorte also saw a reduction in revenues of R$138.4 million, mainly due to a 39% reduction in the MWavg sold (3Q22 1,920.7 MWavg vs. 3Q23 1,172.64 MWavg), caused by decontracting due to breach of contract.

 

These results were offset, in part, by the increase of 360 MWavg sold by Chesf in the ACL in 3Q22, for a total amount of R$127 million. This was influenced by the increase in energy available for sale on the ACL, due to the gradual quota decoupling process of the Quota Plants (20% per year). In addition, Furnas increased its revenues in the ACL by R$25 million due to the greater amount of energy contracted in the ACL (from 1,835 GWh in 3Q22 to 2,104 GWh in 3Q23).

Revenue from supply

Unlike procurement, revenue from supply is obtained directly from the end consumer, which can be distributors, traders and generators, as well as various industrial and commercial parks. In 3Q23, revenue from supply was around R$900 million, down R$141 million compared to 3Q22.

 

The reduction in supply is mainly explained by the lower volume of energy sold from the Itumbiara and Sobradinho HPPs to industrial consumers covered by Law 13182 at Furnas and Chesf, respectively. This reduction was caused by unilateral cancellations by customers of part of the contracted supply volumes. The impact of the reduction on Chesf and Furnas was R$27 million and R$79 million, respectively, partially offset by the entry of new supply contracts in the ACL, representing an increase of R$17 million.

 

In turn, Eletronorte also showed a reduction of R$55 million in supply revenues in 3Q23, of which R$50.8 million was related to the decrease in Albrás' revenues (3Q22 R$379.3 million X 3Q23 R$328.5 million), due to variations in the parameters defined in the contract and used to calculate the final sale price, which are: (a) the U.S. dollar; (b) sector charges; (c) an 11% drop in average aluminum prices (US$2.471.84 3Q22 X US$2.199.65 3Q23); and (d) a 2% drop in the contract price (3Q22 R$204.00/MWh x 3Q23 R$199.58/MWh) due to the negative 2.165% oscillation in the accumulated IGP-M over the last 12 months, influencing the readjustment of the contract price in 2023. Taken together, these effects led to a reduction of 13% in the average price (3Q22 R$214.73/MWh X 3Q23 R$186/MWh).

CCEE Revenue

CCEE revenue was R$343 million, up by R$140 million compared to 3Q22, reflecting in particular the higher CCEE revenue from Eletronorte of R$127 million and R$34 million from Chesf, partially offset by the reduction of R$25 million from Furnas due to the receipt of various reaccountings that occurred in 3Q22, which led to a difference in the receipt of charges, leading to a higher result from the Short-Term Market for the period in 2022.

Operation and Maintenance Revenue - Plants Renewed by Law 12,783/2013

Revenues from operation and maintenance were R$961 million, a drop of R$293 million compared to 3Q22. The negative variation was mainly due to the start of the gradual quota decoupling process of the Quota Power Plants (20% each year), mitigated by the effects of the RAG annual adjustment of around 16%, according to ANEEL Resolution No. 3068/2022 (2022-2023 cycle) and ANEEL Resolution No. 3225/2023 (2023-2024 cycle), impacting Eletronorte, Chesf and Furnas.

2.1.3.Transmission

 

Transmission revenue was R$4,067 million in 3Q23, an increase of 39% from 3Q22, with an increase of R$637 million in contractual transmission revenue, of R$328 million in O&M and R$179 million in construction revenue.

O&M Revenue

 

O&M revenue increased by R$328 million, mainly due to the publication of ANEEL Resolution 3216/2023, effective as of July/2023, which mainly 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.

 

The highlights of O&M revenue were the increase in revenue from: (a) Furnas of R$135 million, especially the increase of R$107 million in O&M revenue from a renewed contract (062/2001), (b) Chesf of R$48 million, (c) CGT Eletrosul of R$35 million. At Eletronorte, there was a net increase of R$82 million as a result of an increase of R$62.6 million in revenue from the renewed 058/2001 contract, an increase of R$18.4 million from tendered contracts, an increase of R$118.6 million relating to CDE and PROINFA, which made up the Other Revenues account in 2022 and were now allocated to O&M Revenues in 2023, and a negative effect of R$80.2 million relating to Variable Portion and Adjustment Portion.

Construction Revenue

The construction revenue for the periods is directly related to the investments made (appropriated and allocated) in the transmission projects in progress. Construction revenue totaled R$805 million, an increase of R$179 million, due to the following increases: (a) Eletronorte of R$159 million, of which R$155 million was investment in works under the renewed contract 058/2001, (b) Furnas of R$145 million: CT 062-2001, in the amount of R$123 million (reflecting investments in fixed assets) and (c) CGT Eletrosul with R$102 million. The volume of construction revenue at Chesf, in turn, was R$134 million lower than in 3Q22.

It should be noted that there is an annual adjustment to the balance of the contractual asset arising from the tariff readjustment for the cycle that has just started, i.e. the 2023/2024 cycle, which impacts on 'Transmission Construction Revenues' in the third quarter of each year; the readjustment in 3Q23 was lower than in 3Q22. As such, although Eletronorte recorded the revenue reported above, there was also a reduction in revenue of R$89.6 million due to the difference in accounting for the quarters compared (-R$22.4 million in 3Q23 x +R$67.2 million in 3Q22).

 

Contractual Revenue

Contractual (financial) revenue is associated with the application of inflationary indices to the balances of the contract assets of each concession. The accumulated IPCA from July-September/2022 was -0.37%, and July-September/2023 was 0.27% (an increase of 0.64 p.p.). As for the IGP-M, the percentage varied from 0.10% to -2.77% (a reduction of 2.87 p.p.).

 

Earnings Release | 3Q23

The impact on Eletrobras companies was: (a) Furnas: +R$278 million, especially contract 062 (RBNI R$44.43 million and RBSE R$247.41 million); (b) Chesf: +R$200 million; (c) Eletronorte: +R$108 million (RBNI R$42 million and RBSE R$66 million) and (d) CGT Eletrosul: +R$ 51 million.

This effect results from the application of IFRS rules and differs from the regulatory revenue, which was adjusted in July 2023, according to ANNEL Resolution no. 3216/23.

To view revenue by company, please access the financial statements on the IR website. 

Regulatory Revenue

 

Regulatory transmission revenue between quarters varied due to: (i) re-profiling of the RBSE of around R$913 million, (ii) monetary restatement by the IPCA (most contracts) or IGP-M, of around R$147 million; and (ii) new investments, tariff revisions and adjustment installments of around R$52 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. For more details, see Note 15 to the September 2023 financial statements.

 

It should be noted that the main difference between regulatory and IFRS revenue in 3Q23 is related 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 does not result in revenue recognition, since 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.

Other revenues were R$114 million in 3Q23, a reduction of R$109 million compared to 3Q22. The main reasons were: (a) Eletronorte's reduction of R$127 million, reflecting R$120 million from CDE + PROINFA which made up the Other Revenues account in 3Q22 and were allocated to O&M Revenues in 3Q23, and (b) Holding with a reduction of R$25 million, R$13.8 million of which being Procel revenues.

2.3.1.Energy Purchased for Resale

 

In 3Q23, energy purchased for resale amounted to R$807 million, representing a reduction of R$295 million when compared to 3Q22, with the highlights being: (a) Furnas' reduction of R$250 million, due to a drop in the average contracted price (from R$298.00 to R$258.82) and a reduction in volume from 2,263 GWh in 3Q22 to 1,556 GWh in 3Q23; (b) Eletronorte recorded a decrease of R$24 million, mainly attributable to the R$25.9 million reduction in energy purchase expenses in the short-term market, caused by the increase in surplus energy compared to the same period in 2022.

2.3.2.Grid Access Charges

 

In 3Q23, the grid access charge was R$876 million, an increase of R$44 million compared to 3Q22, mainly due to the publication of ANEEL Resolutions No. 3066/2022 (2022-2023 cycle) and ANEEL Resolution No. 3217/2023 (2023-2024 cycle). These resolutions had an impact on the operations of Chesf, Eletronorte and Furnas which, respectively, recorded increases of R$31 million, R$26 million and R$25 million.

2.3.3.Fuel for Electricity Production

 

In 3Q23, the costs associated with the use of fuels to produce electricity totaled R$510 million, up R$66 million compared to 3Q22, driven particularly by Eletronorte's increase of R$74 million, due to the annual readjustment in the price of natural gas of around 6.5%, a 2% increase in the ICMS tax rate and in the natural gas consumption of 15.08% at the Mauá 3 TPP, because it operates in an open cycle due to the maintenance stoppage. This increase was partially offset by Furnas' reduction of R$23 million, reflecting the differences in the monthly parameters that make up the price of gas and readjustments.

 

2.3.4.Construction

 

In 3Q23, costs related to construction totaled R$866 million, an increase of R$444 million compared to 3Q22, with emphasis on: (a) Furnas with an increase of R$282 million, reflecting investments linked to CT062; (b) Eletronorte with a positive impact of R$155 million, mainly due to the increase of R$154.4 million in the renewed contract 058/2001; (c) CGT Eletrosul, a positive R$40 million due to investments in transmission totaling R$122 million; and (d) Chesf, a reduction of R$34 million mainly reflecting investments made in the transmission projects in progress.

2.3.5.PMSO - Personnel, Material, Services and Other

Staff

 

Personnel costs totaled R$972 million in 3Q23, a reduction of R$168 million compared to R$1,139 million in 3Q22, mainly reflecting savings of R$253 million related to the dismissal of 2,348 employees from the two Voluntary Dismissal Plans (PDV) implemented and an increase of R$47 million related to the 4.18% salary readjustment under the current Collective Bargaining Agreement. The number of employees fell from 10,476 in 3Q22 to 8,209 in 3Q23, not including SAESA employees.

 

Non-recurring: Additional costs of R$22 million related to PDV in Chesf.

Material

Material costs totaled R$51 million, representing a reduction of R$22 million compared to 3Q22, due to reductions for operational maintenance at Eletronorte and Chesf.

Services

 

Costs of services totaled R$601 million, an increase of R$107 million compared to 3Q22, mainly reflecting costs across: (a) Holding, an increase of R$97 million, mainly due to advisory and auditing service costs of R$44 million, R$34 million in IT services - Software and R$20 million in institutional advertising; and (b) Eletronorte with an increase of R$8 million, of which R$5.6 million and R$4.9 million refer, respectively, to advisory and the maintenance of operational assets.

Non-recurring: R$ 27 million related to consulting from Transformation Office.

Others

 

Other costs and expenses totaled R$754 million in 3Q23, up by R$225 million compared to 3Q22, reflecting: (a) higher costs at the Holding, of R$660 million, resulting from non-recurring adjustments to litigation relates deposits in the amount of R$846 million; (b) lower costs at Furnas, a reduction of R$220 million, largely due to the transfer of the balance of contributions to CEPEL for P&D non-recurring effect of R$42 million and the reclassification of judicial indemnities, which are now allocated to Operating provisions; and (c) Eletronorte, with a reduction of R$68 million, mainly due to the decrease of R$19 million in CEPEL contributions.

 

PMSO: On a recurring basis, PMSO went down by R$271 million.

§Provision for Litigation went from a provision of R$874 million in 3Q22 to a reversal of provision of R$515 million in 3Q23, mainly due to the conclusion of legal settlements relating to compulsory loan lawsuits, which went from a provision of R$109 million in 3Q22 to a reversal of R$418 million in 3Q23 relating to lawsuits regarding monetary restatement of book-entry credits (2nd phase), especially due to the discounts obtained from the negotiations.
§Losses on investments totaled R$167 million in 3Q23, with Furnas increasing by R$80 million, mainly due to the recovery of the value of the investment in SPE MESA, as a result of the recording of the fair values of the investee's assets and liabilities.
§Estimated losses on doubtful accounts (PECLD) in the amount of R$94 million in 3Q23, with emphasis on (a) Eletronorte, with a provision of R$18 million referring to the energy supply to clients due to an increase in invoices overdue by more than 180 days and a provision of R$9.6 million for the supply to Roraima Energia and; (b) Furnas, with the addition of PECLD in the amount of R$ 16 million relating to Geradora de Energia Quinturare SPE and the constitution of R$ 12 million, referring to the provision for contractual fines;

§Restitution of the global reversion reserve (RGR): the amount expected to be refunded to the Global Reversion Reserve (RGR) fund as a result of ANEEL's inspection related to the RGR contracts management from January 2012 to December 2022, under Eletrobras' obligations. This amount takes into account the preliminary net result of the inspection minus the payment of PIS/COFINS on the financial income that was carried forward in the financial result. There is no estimated date set for ANEEL's final decision.

In 3Q23, the financial result was negative by R$3,119 million, compared to a negative result of R$1,819 million in 3Q22. The main variations in 3Q23 were:

§Higher debt charges, which went from R$1,362 million in 3Q22 to R$1,653 million in 3Q23. This variation was mainly due to the increase in the amount of gross debt, which rose from R$54.5 billion in 3Q22 to R$70.5 billion in 3Q23 (detailed in item 4), in line with the Company’s liability management strategy which sought to lengthen maturities and reduce costs.
§In contrast to the increase in gross debt, there was also an increase in the company's cash balance (Cash and Cash Equivalents + Bonds and Securities) from R$16.7 billion in 3Q22 to R$31.3 billion in 3Q23, with emphasis on funding: at the Holding with a debenture issue of R$ 7 billion, at Furnas with commercial notes of R$ 3.5 billion and at CGT with a debenture issue of R$ 250 million, impacting the variation in the Income from Financial Applications account, which went from R$688 million in 3Q22 to R$800 million in 3Q23.

§Monetary restatement (Selic) on the contingency provision for compulsory loans fell from R$495 million in 3Q22 to R$323 million in 3Q23, due to the reduction in the provision inventory and the variation in the Selic rate.
§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$665 million in 3Q23. These obligations were established by Law 14182/21 (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 from data published in CNPE Resolution 015/2021: (i) the present value of the obligation; (ii) the future flow of payments; and (iii) the payment term.
§Hydrographic basin revitalization charges (5.67% charge), of R$89 million in 3Q23, and Monetary updates - hydrographic basins of R$18 million, with no counterpart in 2Q22. These obligations were established by Law 14182/21 (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 from data published in CNPE Resolution 015/2021: (i) the present value of the obligation; (ii) the future flow of payments; and (iii) the payment term.
§Monetary variations: negative monetary restatement of R$451 million referring to the balance of litigation related deposits that recorded under "Other" account.
§Taxes on financial income: PIS/Cofins on the Interest on Equity issued by Furnas in the amount of R$323 million.

3.Debt and receivables

 

Gross debt reached R$70.5 billion, an increase of R$13.8 billion compared to 2Q23, mainly impacted by the fundraising operations carried out in 3Q23 by Eletrobras, Furnas and CGT Eletrosul, as well as the consolidation of SPE Teles Pires' indebtedness, effects which compounded an increase in the debt balance of approximately R$13.7 billion compared to the previous quarter. It should be noted that this position at the end of 3Q23 does not take into account the repayment made in the first half of October of Eletrobras' Commercial Note, amounting to approximately R$6.2 billion, which led to a subsequent reduction in Eletrobras' consolidated indebtedness.

Considering the repayment, the average term of the debt was lengthened by around six months and its cost was reduced by 21 bps, resulting in an average cost of CDI + 1.0845% p.a. at the end of the period. The net debt/adjusted EBITDA ratio reached 2.0x in 3Q23.

4.2.RBSE

 

In April 2023, ANEEL issued Technical Note 085/2023, which deals with the comments on the calculations presented as part of the payment of the RBSE financial component in Technical Note 085/2022-SGT/ANEEL of June 2022, which revisited the requests for reconsideration filed as part of the payment of the financial component and re-profiling of the RBSE. The above-mentioned document does not constitute a decision by ANEEL and therefore has no practical effect up to the date of publication of this document, since it depends on a decision by ANEEL's collegiate body. Therefore, it had no impact on ANEEL Resolution 3216, which established the RAPs for the 2023-2024 cycle.

3Q23: 29 accidents.
The reduction in the "Accident Frequency Rate - own employees (with time off)" is due to actions arising from the occupational health and safety (OHS) culture program, launched in 2020 with the support of external consultants, which focused on company employees. As a follow-up, a new OHS culture project was launched this year through the "Tá Ligado" and "Manifesta pela Vida" campaigns, which are being rolled out in initiatives for the entire workforce.
Women in the workforce (%) 17.9% 19.0% -5.4%

7.3.Annex 3 - Compulsory Loan

 

Within the scope of the compulsory loan on electricity (ECE) lawsuits, which discuss the monetary restatement of book-entry 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 the full settlement of the respective lawsuits.

As a result of these negotiations, in 3Q23 Eletrobras reduced its inventory by R$3,085 million to R$19,055 million, mainly as a result of the agreements reached and the transfer of R$2,088 million to a specific current liability item after signing the legal agreements whose payments have not yet been made. In the same period, the provision was reversed by R$418 million, especially due to the discounts obtained from the negotiations, which had a positive impact on the result.

In the financial income, monetary adjustment fell from R$495 million in 3Q22 to R$323 million in 3Q23 due to the reduction in the provisioned inventory, as mentioned above.

Since 3Q22, when negotiations on the compulsory loan began and the inventory was R$25.8 billion, there has been a net reduction in the provisioned inventory of R$6.8 billion, despite the accumulated monetary restatement of R$1,319 million between the periods, which is in line with the company's strategy of reducing legal liabilities. In the same compared period, there was also an elimination of off-balance risk of R$2.8 billion, of which R$510 million in possible and R$2.3 billion in remote risks. Finally, with the settlement negotiations carried out under the project, judicial deposits and other guarantees offered in court, such as shares in affiliates, amounting to around R$1.3 billion, were released.

 

* Taking into consideration that Eletrobras has already entered into legal agreements with Creditors, which are only awaiting ratification for due payment, the amounts have been reclassified to liabilities.
