The following chart provides an overview of stakes held by CPFL Energia in its subsidiaries:


Shares performance in 1Q05

In 1Q05, CPFL Energia shares traded on BOVESPA (“CPFE3”) rose 0.7%, compared to a 1.6% rise of BOVESPA Index (IBOVESPA) and a 2.8% rise of Electricity Index (IEE). The ADRs (CPL) rose 2.7% in the same period, compared to a 2.8% fall in DJIA.

It is also important to highlight that CPFL Energia’s was included in “Dow Jones Brazil Titan 20 ADR”, a remarkable reference index for Brazilian stocks traded in the international market and the expectation to join IBX 100 Index in September, what will contribute to increase liquidity.

IFC Loan conversion to stocks

In June 2003, CPFL Energia got hold of a US$ 40 million funding from IFC - International Finance Corporation, with conversion to stock rights (full or not, according to IFC’s option), through a Subscription Bond, given to IFC on the Investment Agreement.

In April 2005, IFC declared to CPFL the exercise of its right to convert a US$10 million installment. Conversion will be set at a price per share of R$ 17.57, equivalent to R$ 17.22 (IPO price in September, 29 2004) capitalized at the TJLP rate in excess of 6%. This conversion will result in a 0.32% stake in the Company’s total capital held by IFC.

Moreover, IFC also informed the Company that it intends to exercise its remaining subscription rights in three additional installments over the next twelve months.

In case IFC decides to exercise its remaining subscription rights, free float may reach approximately 16.7% (1), totaling a 1.26% (1) stake in CPFL Energia’s capital held by IFC.

MARKET

Energy sold by CPFL Group through its distribution and commercialization activities to final costumers totaled 9,070 GWh, representing a 3.5% increase (excluding calendar adjustments). This growth reflects basically the increase in the residential, commercial and rural segments due to, mainly, increased income and higher temperatures for the period.

CPFL Brasil played a relevant role in energy sales growth of Group CPFL, mainly by servicing industrial clients which were captive customers from distributors and migrated to the free market.

 BUSINESS OUTLOOK


Gross Revenue

In 1Q05, gross revenue from the energy sales and/or from the distribution business totaled R$ 2.3 billion, corresponding to an 11.5% increase mainly due to the combined effect from the growth in residential, commercial and rural segments, to tax readjustments in the subsidiaries and to TUSD revenue.

Gross Revenue (R$ million)

Increase in revenue would be higher, if captive customers’ migration to the free market were lower. This migration impacted to the loss of 18.8% and 5.9% in industrial and total sales volumes, respectively. In the comparison excluding this effect, CPFL would have a sales increase of 8.4% in industrial segment, totalizing a 6.3% growth in the distributors.

It’s important to point out the reduction on sales in consequence of captive customers migration to free market has an offset impact in distributors results due to counterpart effect in growth of TUSD revenues. These revenues achieved R$ 95.3 million in 1Q05 from R$ 35.2 million in 1Q04, corresponding to a 170.9% increase.

EBITDA

EBITDA of distribution business was R$ 376.3 million in 1Q05, 23.7% above the R$ 304.2 million reported in 1Q04. This growth was basically from the increase in revenues from the supplied electricity and from TUSD revenues.

Net Income

Consolidated net income from the distributors reached R$ 121.5 million in 1Q05, representing a 613% growth from a R$ 23.7 million loss in 1Q04. This increment was mainly as consequence of the 34.8% reduction in net financial expenses – resulted from the new indebtedness profile - and from the goodwill amortization criterion change which reduced 97.8% in this account.

Tariff Adjustment in CPFL Paulista

In April 2005, ANEEL (Brazilian Electricity Energy Agency) approved the tariff adjustment for CPFL Paulista establishing a 20.29% increase in supply tariffs. The main alteration from 2005’s final version from the temporarily adjustment settled in 2004 was the reduction in Gross Revenue Basis, partially offset by the increase in Reintegration Quota and in the limit of operating costs and provisions for doubtful accounts.

Additionally, CPFL is requiring revision about depreciation rate (from 4.64% to 4.85%) and energy loss rates considered by ANEEL. Financial statements already reflect this revision, once, due to the nature and transparency through which the information to be used by ANEEL when revising this rate may be proved, controlling Company’s management expects to be successful in these discussions.

  Main impacts of this revision were:

CPFL seeks to add value through the right positioning in different segments of the electricity industry

CPFL Group has consolidated position in this segment and plans to capitalize on its experience in integration and operating efficiency in the energy distribution to make new acquisitions, using the many resources available to CPFL Group, including new stock issues and access to the equities market, reaching a 25% free-float, in accordance with the Novo Mercado - Bovespa regulations.

CPFL is involved in four generation projects, composed by 6 hydroelectric power plants. The first one, Monte Claro Power Plant, part of the Ceran Complex, was concluded in December 2004. At the conclusion of these projects, part of the business strategy of the group, CPFL shall increase installed power capacity from 897 MW to 1990 MW up to 2008. In this period, CPFL Energia will be responsible for 35% of all added energy in the electric sector.

Moreover, CPFL may seek investment opportunities in new PCHs – Small Hydroelectric Plants, in the purchase of existing assets and greenfields generation investments.

CPFL’s market has shown outstanding growth and registered in 1Q05 a larger growth rate than the rates of Southeast Region and Brazil, reaching a higher level than the pre-rationing period (2000). CPFL Brasil had an important role in this market growth, keeping the free customers within CPFL Group.
