1) SHAREHOLDING STRUCTURE1

CPFL Energia is a publicly-held holding company whose results depend directly upon the results of the controlled companies, the foremost of which are: CPFL Paulista (100%), CPFL Piratininga (100%), CPFL Geração (100%) and CPFL Brasil (100%)

Notes: (1) The stock acquisition of 99.99% of Companhia Luz e Força Santa Cruz and the additional stock acquisition of 11% in Consórcio Energético Foz do Chapecó are still awaiting approval from the pertinent regulatory authorities; (2) Market includes 0.01% of others; (3) Considering combined stakes in Foz do Chapecó Energia S.A (85%) and Consórcio Energético Foz do Chapecó (60%).

1.1) Changes in Stockholding Structure

Acquisition of Companhia Luz e Força Santa Cruz

On October 2nd 2006, CPFL Energia formalized the purchase contract, expediting the direct acquisition of 99.99% of the Companhia Luz e Força Santa Cruz.

Santa Cruz is an electric power distribution, public service concessionaire, active in 24 municipalities in São Paulo State and 3 in the State of Paraná, covering an area of 11,849.5 km2, and serving more than 161 thousand consumers. Its domestic market share is 0.3% . This transaction will boost CPFL Energia’s domestic market share to12.7% .

In 2005, Santa Cruz sold 746 GWh of power, which generated net revenue of R$ 154 million, EBITDA of R$ 30 million and net income of R$ 14 million. During the first half-year of 2006 net revenue reached R$ 91 million, EBITDA was R$ 18 million and net income were R$ 10 million.

This R$ 203 million business acquisition is in line with the CPFL Energia strategy which foresees successive consolidation activity in energy distribution, with a view to optimize returns from the current portfolio of the CPFL Group. The following are the financial indicators implicit in this acquisition: considering 2005 indicators for the 2 companies, we obtain an EV/EBITDA index and P/VPA of 7.1x and 2.4x for Santa Cruz, against 8.7x and 2.8x for CPFL Energia respectively.

The stock acquisition of 99,99% of Companhia Luz e Força Santa Cruz is still awaiting approval from the pertinent regulatory authorities.

Sale of Stockholding in Companhia de Gás de São Paulo

On September 4th 2006, CPFL Energia sold 369,121,217 ordinary nominal shares, corresponding to 3.08% of Companhia de Gás de São Paulo stock (Comgás). The net value of the sale was R$ 89.9 million.

The shares had a book value of R$ 27.2 million. The operation generated gross income of R$ 62.7 million (difference between net value of the sale and book value) and net income of R$ 41.4 million, as registered in the 3rd quarter 2006.

2) STOCK MARKET PERFORMANCE – 3Q06

CPFL Energia, currently with 17.75% free float, trades shares in Brazil (Bovespa) and on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

In the 3Q06, CPFL shares displayed variations of 10.0% on Bovespa and 10.1% on NYSE, closing the quarter quoted at R$ 27.80 and US$ 38.43 respectively. Since the IPO, share appreciation has been 84.7% on Bovespa and 144.3% on NYSE.

The average daily trading volume during the quarter was R$ 16.0 million, of which, R$ 8.1 million was on Bovespa and R$ 7.9 million was on the NYSE. This represents a 132.6% increase over the average daily trading volume over 2005.

4) ENERGY SALES

4.1) Energy Sales to End Consumers

 
Energy Sales - GWh

Captive Market    8,166    7,692    6.2% 
Free Market    2,322    1,713    35.6% 
 
Total    10,488    9,405    11.5% 
 

During the 3Q06, CPFL Group energy sales to end consumers through the distribution and commercialization segments totaled 10,488 GWh, an increase of 11.5% in relation to the same period the previous year. This increase is mainly due to the acquisition of 32.7% of RGE. Deducting this effect, growth would have been 6.7% .

Sales to the captive market totaled 8,166 GWh, which represents an increase of 6.2%, compared to 3Q05. This increase is also due to the purchase of RGE. Without this effect there would have been a reduction of 0.9% .

In the free market, sales reached 2,322 GWh, increasing 35.6% in relation to the same period the previous year. This increase is owed to the success of the group’s commercializing arm in winning captive clients which had migrated to the free market, and also to the increase in consumption from clients’ base of CPFL Brasil.

4.2) Captive Market

 
Captive Market - GWh

Others    962    865    11.1% 
 
Total    8,166    7,692    6.2% 
 

In the captive market we have commented the evolution of the following classes: industrial, residential, commercial and rural. It should be emphasized that these evolutions are also influenced by the acquisition of 32.7% of RGE:

Deducting the effect of the purchase of RGE, the industrial class would show a reduction of 12.5% and the residential, commercial and rural classes would show an increase of 6.2%, 6.1% and 15.7%, respectively.

5.1) Operating Revenue

Gross operating revenue in the 3Q06 reached R$ 3,220 million, representing growth of 16.5% in relation to the same period the previous year. Net operating revenue showed an increase of 19.8% (R$ 387 million), compared to 3Q05.

6


The main contributing factors for this evolution of net revenue were:

(i) Increase in energy sales to end consumers by 11.5%, coupled with distributors tariff adjustments (R$ 350 million)
(ii) Increase of 41.3% (R$ 53 million) in TUSD revenue.
(iii) Cessation of emergency charges levied by ANEEL (R$ 49 million)

The evolution of net revenue was partially offset by the increase of 15.8% (R$ 118 million) in ICMS and PIS/COFINS.

5.2) Electric Energy Costs

Electric energy costs, which consists of the cost of purchased energy and charges for the use of the system, totaled R$ 1,106 million in the 3Q06, representing an increase of 11.0% (R$ 110 million) in relation to the same period the previous year.

5.3) Operating Costs

Operating costs reached R$ 592 million in the 3Q06, registering an increase of 23.3% (R$ 112 million) in relation to the same period in 2005. The main contributing factors for this increase are:

(i) PMSO: the main variations on this item occurred due to the following factors:

7


    Note: PMSO considers Personnel, Material, Outsourced Services and Others

(ii) Fuel Consumption Account (CCC) and Energy Development Account (CDE): spending on CCC and CDE increased 41.7% and 46.7% respectively (R$ 76 million). It should be noted that the company has no management control over these expenses, as they are defined by ANEEL      

The increase of operating costs was partially offset by the Private Pension Fund item, which showed a reduction of 108.9% (R$ 24 million). This expense represented a cost of R$ 22 million in 3Q05 but in 3Q06 has turned into revenue of R$ 2 million. This variation is due mainly to the increase in expected rate of return on plan assets, as defined in the last Actuary Report.

5.4) EBITDA

Based on the factors described above, EBITDA of CPFL Energia during the 3Q06, was R$ 792 million, registering an increase of 38.8% (R$ 221 million) in relation to 3Q05.

The sale of stock in Comgas also contributed to this increase, with CPFL obtaining gross income of R$ 62.7 million (detailed in item 1.1, page 3). When taking into account this operation, the non-operating result was transformed from R$ 0.5 million in 3Q05 to R$ 61 million in 3Q06.

5.5) Financial Result

During 3Q06, the financial result showed an improvement of 101.5% (R$ 72 million). The result was negative by R$ 71 million in 3Q05 but turned positive by R$ 1 million in 3Q06, due basically to the increase of 76.3% in financial revenues (R$ 94 million), up from R$ 124 million in 3Q05 to R$ 218 million in 3Q06, due mainly to the favorable decision for the company regarding the legality of the broader base for the calculation of PIS/Cofins.

The financial result was partially offset by the increase of 11.3% in financial expenses (R$ 22 million), up from R$ 195 million in 3Q05 to R$ 217 million in 3Q06, which can be explained by the increase in the group’s indebtedness, up from R$ 4.6 billion in 3Q05 to R$ 5.1 billion in 3Q06, and from the maintenance of the nominal cost of the debt.

5.6) Net Income

Net Income in the 3Q06, was R$ 447 million, gaining 86.2% (R$ 207 million) over the same period of 2005.

6) INDEBTEDNESS

CPFL Energia indebtedness totaled R$ 5,098 million in 3Q06, an increase of 9.7%, compared to the same period the previous year. Although the debt has risen in nominal terms, its cost has remained practically unaltered.

The increase of indebtedness is mainly due to the net effect of incorporation of the portion of RGE’s debt, after the acquisition of 32.7% of RGE. Also contributed to debt balance variation, the following factors:

(i) Liquidation of Floating Rate Notes; and of CPFL Paulista debentures
(ii) Emission of debentures by CPFL Piratininga; RGE debt contracts indexed to CDI; and BNDES funds for CPFL Paulista, CPFL Piratininga and generation projects

The cost of debt remained practically unaltered when compared to 3Q05, as the fall in the CDI and TJLP indexes during the period were compensated by the rise in the IGP-M/IGP-DI

It should be emphasized that R$ 3.8 billion of CPFL Energia’s financial debt, or 74.4% of the total, is considered long term.

A consequence of the increase in financial debt, was a marked increase in adjusted net debt, based on total debt (loans and financing and derivatives summed to private pension fund debt), excluding regulatory assets / CVA and cash availabilities, showing an increase of 15.0% in 3Q06 in relation to 3Q05, attaining a total of R$ 4,443 million. It should be emphasized that the Debt/EBITDA index of 1.7x remained unaltered.

(i)      PMSO: The main variations in this item were caused owing to the following factors:
 
 
Personnel expenses registered an increase of 14.1% (R$ 11 million) in 3Q06, due, among other factors, to an increase in payroll, as a result of salary readjustment occurred in June 2006, and from the advance payment made by the company in lieu of the profit sharing scheme (PLR) of 2006
 
 
Expenses stemming from other operating costs increased 44.5% (R$ 19 million) during the period due to the change in bookkeeping criteria on research and development and energy efficiency, decreed by ANEEL through Resolution number 176 in December 2005

Fuel Consumption Account (CCC) and Energy Development Account (CDE): expenses incurred with CCC and CDE increased 41.7% and 46.7% respectively (R$ 76 million). It is worth mentioning that the company has no management control over these expenses, as they are defined by ANEEL
 

The increase of operating costs was partially offset by the Private Pension Fund item, which showed a reduction of 108.8% (R$ 24 million). This variation is due mainly to the increase in expected rate of return on plan assets, as defined in the last Actuary Report.

14


The financial result was partially offset by the increase of 4.5% in financial expenses (R$ 6 million), up from R$ 142 million in 3Q05 to R$ 148 million in 3Q06, explained mainly by the variation of the IGP-M during the period.
