Volume traded in the common shares was R$ 1.59 billion in the quarter, with average daily volume of R$ 25.68 million – practically the same as in 1Q19. Cemig’s shares, by volume (aggregate of common (ON) and preferred (PN) shares), were the second most liquid in Brazil’s electricity sector in the period, and among the most traded in the whole Brazilian equity market.

On the New York Stock Exchange the volume traded in ADRs for Cemig’s preferred shares (CIG) in 1Q20 was US$ 812.24 million. We see this as reflecting recognition by the investor market of Cemig as a global investment option.

The Bovespa index, benchmark for the São Paulo stock exchange, fell strongly, by 36.86%, in the quarter, as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. Cemig’s preferred shares fell by a similar percentage, 35.39%; and the common shares fell 41.95%. In New York the ADRs for Cemig’s preferred shares were down 49.15% in the quarter, and the ADRs for the common shares were down 53.86% – these figures also reflect the strong change in the USD/BRL exchange rate in the quarter.

Covid-19

 

Company’s initiatives

 

On March 23, 2020, the Company established the Coronavirus Crisis Management Committee (‘Comitê Diretor de Gestão da Crise do Coronavírus’) to ensure its readiness to making decisions and responding to the impact of Covid-19, because of the fast-changing situation, which became more widespread, complex and systemic.

 

Also, in line with recommendations to maintain social-distancing measures, the Company has implemented an operational contingency plan and several precautionary measures to keep its employees healthy and safe, including: security and health technicians contacting operational staff on a daily basis; interacting daily with subcontractors Social Service department to monitor the evolution of suspicious cases; changing the schedule to prevent gatherings; restricting national and international travel; suspending technical visits and events at Company’s facilities; using remote means of communication; adopting work-from-home policies for a substantial number of employees, providing face masks for employees in external service or in service into its facilities, and requiring outsourcings providers to put the same procedures in place. In addition, the Company has suspended in-store assistance to the general public temporarily.

Government measures aimed at Brazilian energy sector

 

Several measures were implemented by the Brazilian government, specifically aimed at energy sector, which include:

 

§The provisional normative act. 950/2020 issued in April 8, 2020, which provides for 100% discount in the calculation of social energy tariff (‘Tarifa Social de Energia Elétrica’), from April 1, 2020 to June 20, 2020, applicable to customers included in low-income residential subclass, with energy consumption less than or equal to 220 kWh/month. The act also authorizes the Federal Government to allocate resources to Energy Development Account (CDE), limited to R$900, to cover the tariff discounts established.

 

§Provision of financial resources available in the reserve fund, by CCEE, dedicated to reduce future regulatory fees. Cemig D was granted with R$122 million.

 

§Under Resolution 878/2020, issued on March 24, 2020, the regulator has implemented some measures in an attempt to maintain the public service of energy supply, which include: prohibiting energy supply suspension due to default of certain categories of customers (residentials), for 90 days, prioritizing emergency assistance and energy supply to services and activities regarded as essential, drawing up specific contingency plans to assist health care units and hospital services, among others.

 

§The regulator have been discussing other measures to support the energy sector, especially towards energy distribution, by providing short-term resources in order to offset the liquidity reduction due to decrease in revenue and collection.

(i)captive consumers in Cemig’s concession area in the State of Minas Gerais;
(ii)Free Consumers in both the State of Minas Gerais and other States of Brazil, in the Free Market (Ambiente de Contratação Livre, or ACL);
(iii)other agents of the electricity sector – traders, generators and independent power producers, also in the ACL; and
(iv)Distributors, in the Regulated Market (Ambiente de Contratação Regulada, or ACR).

 

The Cemig group traded a total of 13,673,162 MWh on the CCEE in 1Q20, 0.6% less than in 1Q19. Sales of electricity to final consumers, plus Cemig’s own consumption, totaled 10,448,608 MWh, or 2.2% less than in 1Q19. Sales to distributors, traders, other generating companies and independent power producers in 1Q20 were 3,224,555 MWh – or 4.8% more than in 1Q19.

 

In March 2020 the Cemig group invoiced 8,565,973 clients – an increase of 1.6% in the consumer base in the year since March 2019. Of these, 8,565,588 were in the group comprising final consumers and Cemig’s own consumption; and 385 were other agents in the Brazilian power industry.

 

The chart below itemizes the Cemig Group’s sales to final consumers in the year, by consumer category:

The electricity market of Cemig D

 

Electricity billed to captive clients and electricity transported for Free Clients and distributors with access to Cemig D’s networks in 2020 totaled 11,063,258 MWh, or 2.0% less than in 1Q19. This result is a composition of higher use of the network by Free Clients – an increase of 1.0%; and a year-on-year reduction, of 4.2%, in consumption by the captive market.

Residential

 

Consumption by Residential clients, which was 25.2% of the energy distributed by Cemig D in 1Q20, was 1.5% higher than in 1Q19. This increase is mainly related to the inclusion (new connections to the network) of a total of 133,357 new consumer units.

Average monthly consumption per consumer in 1Q20 was 133.0 kWh/month, or 0.4% less than in 1Q19 (133.6 kWh/month).

 

Industrial

 

Consumption by the Industrial consumer category was 43.8% of the total volume of electricity distributed by Cemig, and totaled 4,844,386 MWh in 1Q20, or 3.0% less than in 1Q19. One of the principal factors in lower consumption by industrial clients was the fall in consumption by the ferro-alloys sector (down 6.1% year-on-year).

Energy consumed by captive clients in 1Q20 totaled 472,440 MWh in 1Q20, 26.3% less than in 1Q19. The figure for the captive market was affected by the strong reduction in the number of consumers – down 58.4% year-on-year – with a total of 41,978 consumer units less than in March 2019, mainly due to a reclassification of clients to other categories in an overall process of review of clients’ registration details. Another factor in lower consumption was migration of consumers to the free market.

The volume of energy transported for industrial Free Clients was 39.5% of the total of energy distributed, totaling 4,371,946 MWh in 1Q20, 0.5% more than in 1Q19.

 

Commercial and Services

 

Energy distributed to the Commercial client category was 0.4% lower than in 1Q19, reflecting migration of clients from the captive market and a significant increase in consumption by the Free Market. Volume was down 2.7% year-on-year in the captive market, but up 9.2% YoY in the Free Market. The total energy used by captive clients, plus energy transported for Free Clients, in the Commercial category, was 15.2% of the total of energy distributed by Cemig D in 1Q20.

13 

 

       

Rural

Consumption by clients in the Rural category in 1Q20 was down 10.0% year-on-year, mainly due to revision of consumers’ registration details (in compliance with Aneel Resolution 800), resulting in a reduction of 15,309 consumer units (–2.2%); and a reduction of 32.0% in consumption by Irrigation clients, reflecting higher rainfall in the quarter.

 

Number of clients

A total of 8,565,258 consumers were billed in March 2020, or 130,777 more than in March 2019. Of this total, 1,487 were Free Consumers using the distribution network of Cemig D.

The electricity market of Cemig GT

 

Cemig GT billed a total of 7,450,859 MWh in 1Q20, 2.6% more than in 1Q19.

Consumption by industrial clients was 225,998 MWh lower in 1Q20 than 1Q19. This was more than offset by the increase of 266,360 MWh in the commercial client category, resulting from the increase in migration of clients from the capital market to the Free Market. From March 2019 to the end of March 2020, Cemig GT added 241 new commercial clients. Sales of energy in the Regulated Market were lower than in 1Q19, due to the differences in the seasonalization profiles of the distributors.

The higher sales in the Free Market were due largely to higher volume of sales in the spot market to traders in the early months of 2020, and allocation of a lower volume for settlement in the CCEE.

SUPPLY QUALITY INDICATORS – DECi and FECi

 

Cemig is continuously taking action to improve operational management, organization of the logistics of its emergency services, and its permanent routine of preventive inspection and maintenance of substations, and distribution lines and networks. It also invests in training of its staff for improved qualifications, state-of-the-art technologies, and standardization of work processes, aiming to maintain the quality of electricity supply, and as a result maintain satisfaction of clients and consumers.

 

The charts below show Cemig’s indicators for duration and frequency of outages – DECi (Average Outage Duration per Consumer, in hours), and FECi (Average Outage Frequency per Consumer, in number of outages), since January 2016. Quality indicators linked to the current concession contract of Cemig D (distribution), signed in 2015

Note: Figures for 2016 and 2017 are according to recalculation presented by the Company to Aneel.

 

 

Consolidated operational revenue

 

Revenue from supply of electricity:

 

Total revenue from supply of electricity in 1Q20 was R$ 6,767,438, 2.51% higher than in 1Q19 (R$ 6,601,417).

 

16 

 

 

 


(1) Includes Regulated Market Electricity Sale Contracts (CCEARs) and ‘bilateral contracts’ with other agents.

 

 

Final consumers

Revenue from energy sold to final consumers was R$ 5,855,898 in 1Q20, compared to R$ 5,841,016 in 1Q19, or 0.25% lower year-on-year.

 

The main factors in this revenue were:

 

§The Annual Tariff Adjustment for Cemig D, with average effect on consumer tariffs of an increase of 8.73%, effective from May 28, 2019.

 

§Volume of electricity sold to final consumers 2.17% lower.

 

 

Revenue from Use of Distribution Systems (the TUSD charge)

In 1Q20 this revenue was R$ 724,371, or 14.97% more than in 1Q19 (R$ 630,044). The higher revenue mainly reflects the Company’s annual tariff adjustment in effect from May 28, 2019 (full effect in 2020), which for Free Clients resulted in an increase of approximately 17.28%.

17 

 

 

CVA and Other financial components in tariff adjustment

 

In its financial statements Cemig recognizes the difference between actual non-controllable costs (in which the CDE, and electricity bought for resale, are significant components) and the costs that were used as the basis for decision on the rates charged to consumers. In 1Q20 this item comprised a reduction of revenue by R$ 54,602, compared with an addition to revenue of R$120,350 in 1Q19. This variation is mainly due to lower costs of electricity acquired in auctions than assumed in the tariff calculation. Although this item represents realization of an asset in 1Q20, the Company has a CVA balance receivable of R$ 775,885.

Transmission concession revenue

 

This revenue was R$ 123,269 in 1Q20, compared to R$ 117,179 in 1Q19 – a year-on-year increase of 5.20%. The higher figure arises basically from the inflation adjustment of the annual RAP, which was applied in July 2019, plus the new revenues related to the investments authorized to be included. The percentages and indices applied for the adjustment are different for different concessions: the IPCA index is applied to the contract of Cemig GT, and the IGP–M index to the contract of Cemig Itajubá.

 

Revenue from transactions on the Wholesale Trading Exchange (CCEE)

 

Revenue from transactions in electricity on the CCEE in 1Q20 was R$ 87,824, compared to R$ 252,616 in 1Q19 – a reduction of 65.23% year-on-year. The lower figure reflects lower allocation of the Group’s own energy, and lower GSFs in the period, and also higher allocation of supply to bilateral spot sales in 1Q20.

Revenue from supply of gas

 

Cemig reports revenue from supply of gas 6.14% lower YoY in 1Q20, at R$ 559,660, compared to R$ 596,278 in 1Q19. This difference basically reflects volume of gas sold 20.65% lower, at 250,136 m3 in 1Q20, mainly due to consumption by the thermoelectric power generation sector 59.51% lower in 1Q20. The effect of lower volume of gas sold was partially offset by the increase from application of the IGP-M inflation index to distribution costs, which occurs annually in February: the resulting increases were: 7.26% in 2019, and 7.81% in 2020. In May 2019, the tariffs for five user categories – Industrial, General use, Co-generation, VNG and CNG – were increased due to the increases in average cost of gas, and variation at the margin – for the latter the effective variation of 6.74% in the IGP-M inflation index was applied.

Taxes and charges reported as Deductions from revenue

 

The total of these taxes and charges reported as deductions from revenue in 1Q20 was R$ 3,012,440 – an increase of 4.11% in relation to their total of R$ 3,141,524 in 1Q19.

The Energy Development Account – CDE

The amounts of payments to the Energy Development Account (CDE) are decided by an Aneel Resolution. The purpose of the CDE is to cover costs of concession indemnities (reimbursements of costs of assets), tariff subsidies, the subsidy for balanced tariff reduction, the low-income-consumer subsidy, the coal consumption subsidy, and the Fuels Consumption Account (CCC). The budget of the CDE was increased by 8% for the year 2020, basically due to increase in the costs of the Fuel Consumption Account (CCC), due to the need to serve the state of Roraima with thermoelectric generation plants after it ceased to be served by power supply coming from Venezuela.

In spite of the increase in its budget, the charges for contribution to the CDE were R$ 609,710 in 1Q20, compared to R$ 652,349 in 1Q19, or 6.54% lower, mainly due to the termination of the ACR Account in August 2019.

This is a non-manageable cost: the difference between the amounts used as a reference for setting of tariffs and the costs actually incurred is compensated for in the subsequent tariff adjustment.

Consumer charges – the ‘Flag’ Tariff system

 

The ‘Flag’ Tariff bands are activated as a result of low levels of water in the system’s reservoirs – tariffs are temporarily increased due to scarcity of rain. Charges to the consumer arising from the ‘Flag Tariff’ system in 1Q20 were 434.09% higher year-on-year – at R$ 59,583 in 1Q20, vs. R$ 11,156 in 1Q19.

This higher figure reflects application of the ‘yellow’ tariff flag in December 2019 (affecting billing of January 2020), and January 2020; the ‘green’ flag was in force only as from February 2020 (with effect on the billing in the month of March 2020).

Operational costs and expenses

 

Operational costs and expenses in 1Q20 were R$ 5,018,263, 5.65% more than in 1Q19 (R$ 4,750,116), a significant component being the higher cost of energy bought for resale.

 

 

 

21 

 

 

 

The following paragraphs comment on the main variations:

People

 

The expense on personnel in 1Q20 was R$ 311,606, or 14.64% lower than in 1Q19 (R$ 365,041). This mainly reflects the average number of employees in 1Q20 being 6.93% lower than in 1Q19, and the expense on the PDVP Voluntary Retirement Program, in 1Q19, of R$ 21,491. At the same time, the 1Q20 result includes a salary increase of 2.55% as from November 2019, under the Collective Work Agreement.

 

Number of employees – by company

 

 

Employees’ and managers’ profit shares

 

The expense on employees’ and managers’ profit share in 1Q20 was R$ 25,840, compared to R$ 66,037 in 1Q19, reflecting the lower profit in the period and the change in the criteria for profit shares.

 

Electricity purchased for resale

 

The expense on electricity bought for resale in 1Q20 was R$ 2,814,495, or 8.49% more than in 1Q19 (R$ 2,594,181). This arises mainly from the following items:

§Expenses on supply from Itaipu 28.41% higher, at R$ 427,812 in 1Q20, than in 1Q19 (R$ 333,156). This mainly reflects the average exchange rate for the dollar being 22% higher in 1Q20 – at US$1=R$ 4.63 – than in 1Q19 (R$ 3.80).

 

22 

 

 

 

§Expenses on supply acquired at auction 15.29% higher year on year in 1Q20, at R$ 819,439, compared to R$ 710,792 in 1Q19. The increase reflects volume of energy acquired approximately 11% higher year-on-year, added to the effect of upward adjustment in power purchasing agreements on the Regulated Market (CCEARs), taking place at the moment of the distributor’s tariff adjustment.

 

For Cemig D, purchased energy is a non-manageable cost: the difference between the amounts used as a reference for calculation of tariffs and the costs actually incurred is compensated for in the subsequent tariff adjustment.

Gas bought for resale

 

The expense on acquisition of gas was 21.03% lower in 1Q20, at R$ 311,925, compared to R$ 394,982 in 1Q19. This reflects the volume of gas sold 20.65% lower, at 250,135m3 in 1Q20, compared to 315,240m3 in 1Q19, which was mainly caused by a strong reduction, of 59.51%, year-on-year, in consumption of gas by the thermoelectric power plant sector of clients.

 

Post-retirement obligations

 

The impact on operational profit of the Company’s post-retirement obligation was an expense of R$ 105,405 in 1Q20, compared to an expense of R$ 100,909 in 1Q19. This is mainly the result of reduction in the discount rate used in the actuarial calculation – which increased the amount of the actuarial liabilities, and consequently the scale of the expense reported.

 

Charges for use of the transmission network

 

Charges for use of the national grid in 1Q20 were R$ 365,012, or 9.35% more than in 1Q19 (R$ 333,796).

This is a non-manageable cost in the distribution activity: the difference between the amounts used as a reference for calculation of tariffs and the costs actually incurred is compensated for in the subsequent tariff adjustment.

 

Operating provisions

 

Operational provisions in 1Q20 were R$ 159,116, or 45.97% higher than in 1Q19 (R$ 109,006). This arises mainly from the following items:

§Higher provisions for civil contingencies – provisions of R$ 16,311 were made in 1Q20, which compares to a net reversal of provisions of R$ 2,495 in 1Q19. The difference mainly arises from provisions made for legal actions for third party liability, claiming payment of indemnity for pain and suffering, material and aesthetic damage caused by accidents involving the electricity network.
§Losses expected on doubtful receivables from clients 25% higher, at R$ 99,740 in 1Q20 (R$ 96,145 in Cemig D), compared to R$ 79,351 in 1Q19. This difference mainly reflects higher default by clients in the Public Authorities category, and, especially, worsening of performance in the Commercial category.
§The provisions for the SAAG put option were 89.06% higher in 1Q19, with new provisions made in the quarter totaling R$ 20,812, compared to R$ 11,008 in 1Q19.

Default

 

 

The start of 2020 was marked by a high degree of uncertainty in the social and economic spheres both in Brazil and worldwide, with the proliferation of the public health crisis caused by the Covid-19 coronavirus, and its arrival in Brazil.

 

The percentage of customer default at the end of March was at 5.29%, approximately 4% higher in absolute numbers than at the end of 2019 – this was one of the results of the measures to combat dissemination of Covid-19 adopted in the great majority of the towns and cities of Minas Gerais as from the second half of March.

 

To try to mitigate the impacts of the pandemic and help sustain its clients’ payment capacity, Cemig is launching special payment conditions to help, principally, low-income clients, hospitals and micro-companies. New channels of payment, such as new debit and credit cards, are also expected to be put in place in the coming months, which we expect to expand consumers’ payment options, and facilitate future negotiations.

 

The company will be operating new means of getting closer to its clients in the coming months. New channels of communication, such as WhatsApp, have been put in place, as well as campaigns to enrich the client registry information. These were being adopted in April. These measures aim to expand the scope and efficiency of the tools for approaching consumers, including approach for negotiations.

 

Cemig is confident that conscious and efficient use of its resources for negotiation and collection will be of great importance in succeeding to overcome the adverse impacts that we expect to affect the whole of the market as a consequence of this serious health crisis which the Brazilian public is undergoing.

Share of profit (loss) in associates and joint ventures

For its interests in non-consolidated investees the Company posted a gain of R$ 81,942 by the equity method of accounting in the quarter. This figure was 21.89% higher than in 1Q19, mainly reflecting a higher negative item from Taesa, of R$ 77,152 in 1Q20, compared to R$ 32,081 in 1Q19.

Financial revenue and expenses

 

The net result of financial revenues and expenses in 1Q20 was an expense of R$ 726,746. This figure was 616% higher than in 1Q19, when the result was a net expense of R$ 101,560. This mainly reflects a net negative effect in the Eurobonds transaction and its corresponding hedge instrument, of R$ 437,760 in 1Q20, which compares to a net gain of R$ 119,460 in 1Q19 on the same basis. This arises mainly from the following factors:

 

§The dollar appreciated by 28.98% against the Real in 1Q20, compared to an appreciation of 0.57% in 1Q19. This resulted in negative effects on the principal of the debt of Eurobonds, totaling R$ 1,752,000 and R$ 32,847 respectively.
§The fair value of the hedge for the Eurobond transactions increased by R$ 1,314,240 in 1Q20. In 1Q19 the variation in the fair value of the hedge instrument, of R$ 152,311, was enough to offset the FX liability variation, of R$ 32,847, resulting in a gain of R$ 119,464. The higher value of the hedge instrument in 1Q20 arises from the increase in the value of dollar futures, which resulted in an increase in the value of the options (call spread) and the asset component of the swap for protection of interest.

Ebitda

 

Cemig’s consolidated Ebitda in 1Q20 was 44.7% lower than in 1Q19, adjusted Ebitda was 6.5% lower than in 1Q19. Ebitda margin in 1Q20 was 13.34%, compared to 24.71% in 1Q19.

DEBT

 

 

The Company’s total consolidated debt at March 31, 2020 was R$ 15,762,574, or R$ 986,543 more than its balance of R$ 14,776,031 at the end of 2019. It is important to note that the Company also records a net positive balance on hedge transactions for the Eurobond issue, in the total amount of R$ 3,005,184: R$ 1,530,896 for the principal of the debt, and R$ 1,474,288 for the interest. The total net asset value of the hedge is R$ 1,314,240 greater than at the end of 2019.

 

In first quarter 2020, debt totaling R$ 972,447 was amortized: R$ 416,745 in Cemig GT, and R$ 533,682 in Cemig D. No new loans were raised. The increase in gross debt was due to capitalization of borrowing costs in the period, and especially the increase in the exchange rate for the dollar in the quarter, which added R$ 1.75 billion to the value of the principal debt under the Eurobond issue.

In accordance with CVM Instruction 358/2002 as amended, Cemig (Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais, listed and traded in São Paulo, New York and Madrid), hereby reports to the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM), the São Paulo Stock Exchange (B3) and the market as follows:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In a meeting held on today’s date, the Board of Directors approved alteration of the date of payment to stockholders of the first installment of Interest on Equity.

 

At its meeting of December 18, 2019, the Board had originally scheduled this first payment, in the amount of R$ 200 million (two hundred million Reais) to take place on June 30, 2020.

 

In view of the uncertainty and volatility caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, management has concluded that it would be prudent to postpone the date of this payment, as a preventive measure, to provide the Company with an additional reserve of cash to meet any needs that might arise in this period.

 

The date of this payment has been rescheduled to December 30, 2020. All other conditions of this distribution of Interest on Equity to stockholders remain unchanged, in accordance with the Notice to Stockholders of December 18, 2019.

 

We re-emphasize our commitment to transparency, and will keep the market fully updated.

Cemig files statement of interest in extending concessions of

two hydroelectric plants

 

 

 

 

Cemig (Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais – listed and traded on the exchanges of São Paulo, New York and Madrid), informs the CVM (Brazilian Securities Commission), the São Paulo stock exchange (B3) and the market as follows:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On July 17, 2020, as per Article 11 of Law 12783/2013, Cemig’s wholly-owned subsidiary Cemig Geração e Transmissão S.A. (‘Cemig GT’), to guarantee its right of option under the changes in legislation currently under discussion relating to the group of measures known as “modernization of the electricity sector”, filed a statement of its interest in extending two of its concessions – for the Emborcação and Nova Ponte Hydroelectric Plants – under the independent power producer regime, outside the regime of quotas.

 

Under Generation Concession Contract 007/97 of July 10, 1997 and its Second Amendment, signed on October 22, 2008, Cemig GT holds the concessions for:

· the Emborcação Hydroelectric Plant, on the Paranaíba River, with installed capacity of 1,192 MW;

  and  
  · the Nova Ponte Hydroelectric Plant, on the Araguari River, with installed capacity of 510 MW.

 

 

Currently, these concessions expire on July 23, 2025.

It should be noted that this formal statement of interest aims solely to guarantee the right of Cemig GT to any extension of these concession contracts under the new conditions, which are still pending finalization and to be decided. Any actual decision will only be made after publication by the Mining and Energy Ministry and Aneel, the electricity regulator, of the conditions for extension, which will be submitted to decision by Cemig’s governance bodies at the due time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We also point out that this statement of interest will not suspend or exclude analysis of other legal alternatives for extension of the concessions, which are under assessment by the Company.
