2Q23 CPFL Results

MESSAGE FROM THE CEO

We ended another semester with consistent and solid results, reflecting the materialization of all our strategic pillars. In the quarter, we posted EBITDA of R$3.1 billion, an increase of 7.2%, and Net Income of R$1.2 billion.

The Generation segment was the biggest contributor to this result. Apart from the effects of the consolidation of Enercan, we had one more quarter with better winds than in the same prior-year period. As a result, power generation by our wind farms increased 12.3%.

In the Transmission segment, we significantly improved our results, capturing synergies while reducing our corporate and operating costs. Revenue also contributed to the results, with the 2022 tariff adjustment increasing the Permitted Annual Revenue (RAP) by 10.1%.

Highlights in the Distribution segment include the benefits brought by tariff reviews at our three largest distributors, with the recognition of assets in the new Regulatory Remuneration Base (BRR) and the maintenance of portion B at CPFL Paulista and RGE, whose processes have already been concluded. In the most recent case - RGE, concluded in June - Net BRR approved by Aneel was R$11 billion, with an adjustment to portion B of 1.20%.

Still on distributors, I wish to underline the reduction in defaults to close to our historic levels, thanks to lower tariffs and the improvement in real household income. It must also be highlighted that our teams continue to employ all efforts to control default levels. In energy sales, the residential and commercial segments registered remarkable growth of 2.2% and 1.6%, respectively, and remain strong despite the impacts of distributed generation, benefiting mainly from the macroeconomic scenario.

Our investments remain high across all segments. This quarter, we invested a total of R$1.2 billion, including R$928 million in the Distribution segment and R$184 million in the Transmission segment. We have already invested R$2.3 billion in the first half of the year and our estimated Capex across all businesses of the group is R$5.2 billion in 2023.

As regards our financial discipline, cash management and optimization of the capital structure, we ended the quarter with leverage of 1.72 times the EBITDA, based on the measurement criterion used in financial covenants, and cash balance of R$5.3 billion. Another highlight was the approval by the Board of Directors Meeting held today (August 10) of complementary dividends (related to 2022 results) amounting to R$903 million, or R$0.78/share, which will be paid by December 31, 2023.

I end this message celebrating our most recent achievements. CPFL Santa Cruz and RGE made us doubly proud at the Aneel Consumer Satisfaction Awards by coming 1st and 2nd, respectively. Such honors motivate us further to constantly seek excellence in the operational
