1) Company Structure

CPFL Energia is a holding company with stock participations, whose results depend directly on the results of the controlled companies, the principal of which are: CPFL Paulista (100%), CPFL Piratininga (100%), CPFL Geração (100%) e CPFL Brasil (100%).

Note: (1) market included 0.01% of others.

1.1) Stockholding Alteration

Acquisition of Companhia Luz e Força Santa Cruz

On October 2nd 2006, CPFL Energia acquired 99.99% of the Companhia Luz e Força Santa Cruz. Santa Cruz is a public service concessionaire for the distribution of electric power operating in 24 municipalities in São Paulo State and 3 in the State of Paraná. The concession occupies an area of 11,849.5 km2, serving more than 161 thousand consumers, with a national market share of 0.3% . This acquisition raises CPFL Energia’s market share to 12.7% ..

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

Page 2 of 22


This R$ 203 million acquisition is aligned with the CPFL Energia strategy which foresees successive steps towards the consolidation of the power distribution sector in the country and will permit an adequate return on the current business portfolio for the CPFL Group. The following are the financial indicators implicit in this acquisition: considering indicators for 2005 for the two companies, we obtain indexes EV/EBITDA and P/VPA of 7.1x and 2.4x for Santa Cruz, against 8.7x and 2.8x for CPFL Energia, respectively.

Besides the acquisition of Santa Cruz, in 2006 CPFL Energia also acquired 32.7% of RGE (R$ 383 million) and 11% of the Foz do Chapecó hydroelectric facility (R$ 9 million), which commits CPFL to an additional investment of R$ 230 million. With these acquisitions CPFL will have invested R$ 825 million.

2) STOCK MARKET PERFORMANCE – 2006

With the conclusion of the shareholding reorganization of VBC Energia S.A. in December 2006 and the resultant exit of Bradespar from the controlling block, CPFL Energia attained 27.08% “free float”.

In 2006, CPFL shares appreciated 16.0% on BOVESPA and 28.6% on the NYSE, closing the year quoted at R$ 30.00 and US$ 41.38, respectively

Since the IPO, the return on investment was 99.3% on BOVESPA and 127.7% on the NYSE.

The daily average trading volume in 2006 was R$ 17.3 million; R$ 9.1 million on BOVESPA and R$ 8.1 million on the NYSE. Compared to the daily average in 2005, this represents an increase of 145.8% .

3) DIVIDENDS AND INTEREST ON CAPITAL INVESTED

The board proposed the distribution of R$ 1,334 million, or R$ 2.78 per share, in dividends, the equivalent of the net income balance for the year, less the legal reserve of 5%.

Taking into account the R$ 612 million paid in 1H06, the amount to be paid will be R$ 722 million, or R$ 1.50 per share.

The annual dividend yield for 2006, calculated from the median price of the shares over the period (R$ 29.15) is 9.6% . When calculated from the closing price (R$ 30.00), the annual dividend yield is 9.8% .

This amount is well above the CPFL Energia “dividend policy” which states that income distribution in the form of dividends and/or interest on own capital (JCP), should be at minimum 50% of adjusted net income distributed half-yearly.

4) ENERGY SALES

4.1) Total Energy Sales

Energy Sales - GWh             
    4Q06    4Q05    Var. 
Captive Market    8,326    7,863       5.9% 
Free Market    2,397    2,288       4.8% 
Total    10,723    10,151       5.6% 

In 4Q06, sales of energy from the CPFL Group through the distribution and commercialization segments totaled 10,723 GWh, an increase of 5.6% . This increase is largely due to the acquisition of 32.7% of RGE, without which, the growth would have been 0.2% .

Page 4 of 22


Sales to the captive market totaled 8,326 GWh, equivalent to a 5.9% increase. This increase is also due to a large extent to the purchase of RGE, without which there would have been a reduction of 1.1% .

In 4Q06 sales to the free market were 2,397 GWh, an increase of 4.8% . This increase can be attributed to the winning over of captive customers by the group commercializing sector that migrated to the free market and also to the increase in consumption from CPFL Brasil base customers.

4.2) Captive Market

Captive Market - GWh             
    4Q06    4Q05    Var. 
Residential    2,470    2,243    10.1%

Others    976    880    11.0% 
Total    8,326    7,863    5.9% 

The captive market saw the evolution of the following classes: industrial, residential and commercial, although this evolution was also influenced by the acquisition of 32.7% of RGE:

Discounting the effect of the RGE purchase, the industrial class suffered a reduction of 9.5% and the residential and commercial classes showed gains of 4.5% and 5.5%, respectively.

5.1) Operating revenue

Gross operating revenue in 4Q06 reached R$ 3,280 million, representing growth of 13.4%, while net operating revenue showed growth of 16.2% (R$ 334 million).

The main contributing factors to this growth in net revenue were:

  (i)
Increase in total energy sales by 5.6% together with the distributor tariff readjustment (R$ 354 million)
 
  (ii)
Increase of 37.6% (R$ 52 million) in TUSD revenue
 
    (iii)

  (i)
Increase of 9.2% (R$ 85 million) in the cost of purchased energy due mainly to higher volume.
 
  (ii)
Increase of R$ 41 million owing to the accounting costs of surplus energy.
 
    (iii)
Increase of R$ 40 million in the amount relating to the net effect of the amortization and deferment of CVA.

  (iv)
Increase of R$ 14 million in Pis and Cofins credits due to higher volume.

5.3) Operating Costs

Operating costs in 4Q06 were R$ 641 million registering a reduction of 5.0% (R$ 34 million). The main causes for this decrease are:

(i) PMSO: The main variations in this item were caused by the following factors:

  -
Expenditure on personnel which registered an increase of 25.6% (R$ 21 million) in 4Q06, due to, among other factors, the operational start-up of the Barra Grande Hydroelectric Plant, the 32.7% acquisition of RGE and the annual payroll increase.
 
  -
Expenditure on outsourced services which increased 16.1% (R$ 12 million) during the period, due mainly to the start-up of the Barra Grande hydroelectric facility (BAESA) and the 32.7% acquisition of RGE
 
    -
Expenditure on other operating costs which decreased by 52.3% (R$ 108 million) over the period due to non-occurrence in 4Q06 of RTE adjustment (R$ 92 million) in 4Q05.

Note: PMSO – consider personnel, materials, outsourced services and others.

(ii) Fuel Consumption Account (CCC) and Energy Development Account (CDE): expenses incurred with CCC and CDE increased 28.4% and 22.5% respectively (R$ 50 million). It should be emphasized that these costs are non-manageable, as they are charges defined by ANEEL.

Private Pension Fund expenditure which fell by 108.9% (R$ 24 million) also contributed to the reduction in operating costs. This item, which represented an expense R$ 22 million in 4Q05 turned into a R$ 2 million revenue in 4Q06. This variation is basically due to the Actuarial Report Revision.

5.4) EBITDA

Based on the factors described above, CPFL Energia EBITDA in 4Q06 was R$ 684 million, registering an increase of 40.0% (R$ 195 million).

For the year 2006, EBITDA was R$ 2,789 million, registering an increase of 31.6% (R$ 669 million).

5.5) Financial Result

Although the financial result in 4Q06 was negative by R$ 119 million, it was an improvement of 16.1% on the negative result of R$ 141 million of 4Q05. An explanation for this lies in the following:

  (i)
Financial Revenue: A reduction of 45.6% (R$ 95 million), falling from R$ 208 million in 4Q05 to R$ 113 million in 4Q06, mainly as a result of:

 

Page 7 of 22


  -
The non-occurrence in 4Q06 of the change in asset remuneration methodology of “RTE and Energia Livre” (R$ 62 million) occurred in 4Q05
 
  -
Other effects, including monetary and foreign exchange adjustment (R$ 19 million) and remuneration of “CVA and Parcela A” (R$ 13 million)

(ii) Financial Expenses: reduction of 33.7% (R$ 118 million), falling from R$ 350 million in 4Q05 to R$ 232 million in 4Q06, due mainly to:

  -
The non-payment in 4Q06 of interest on own capital (JCP) paid in 4Q05 (R$ 109 million)
 
  -
Reduction in the cost of debt (R$ 34 million), mainly as a result of the change in debt profile, combined with falls in the interest rate (“CDI and TJLP”) in the period

5.6) Net Income

Net Income in 4Q06, was R$ 345 million, a reduction of 9.3% (R$ 35 million).

For the year 2006, net income was R$ 1,404 million, an increase of 37.5% (R$ 383 million).

6) Debt

CPFL Energia debt stood at R$ 5,168 million in 4Q06, an increase of 3.8%, compared to the previous year. Although the debt has increased in nominal terms, its cost has fallen from 13.9% p.a. in 4Q05 to 13.4% p.a. in 4Q06, due to the fall in the CDI (18.2% to 15.2%) and the TJLP (9.8% to 7.9%) during the period, partially offset by the rise of the IGP-M/IGP-DI (1.2% to 3.8%) .

The debt increase stems mainly from the net effect of the incorporation of the debt installment of RGE after the stock acquisition of 32.7%, in the amount of R$ 224 million.

The following factors also contributed to the fluctuation of debt:

  (i)
Liquidation of Floating Rate Notes (R$ 232 million) and 1st emission of CPFL Paulista debentures (R$ 805 million)
 
  (ii)
Emission of debentures by CPFL Piratininga (R$ 400 million) and CPFL Paulista (R$ 640 million); contracting of debt linked to CDI by RGE (R$ 140 million); and BNDES loans for CPFL Paulista, CPFL Piratininga and generation projects (R$ 334 million)

Page 8 of 22


In summary of the above, one can observe the change in profile of financial debt, demonstrated by the increase in debt linked to CDI (27% to 41%) and TJLP (28% to 31%), and by the reduction in debt linked to IGP-M/IGP-DI (39% to 22%).

It should be emphasized that R$ 4,252 million, or 82.3% of the CPFL Energia debt is considered long term and R$ 916 million, or 17.7% of the total is considered short term.

In 4Q06, the adjusted net debt increased 19.4% as calculated from the total debt (the sum of loans, financing, derivatives and pension fund debt), excluding regulatory assets / CVA and cash receivables, reaching a total of R$ 4.416 million. This variation is a result of the increase of R$ 141 million in total debt and the reduction of R$ 178 million and R$ 399 million in the items, regulatory assets/liabilities and receivables respectively. Importantly, the ratio debt//EBITDA fell to 1.6x.

Besides the cash generated by company activities, highlighted below are other factors which contributed to the cash flow variation:

  (i)
Acquisitions of stockholdings in the amount of R$ 593 million, such as the purchase of 32.7% of RGE, 11% of Foz do Chapecó Hydroelectric Facility and 99.99% of Santa Cruz.
 
  (ii)
Asset acquisitions in the amount of R$ 793 million (already presented in “Investment” item)

Page 12 of 22


Operating Costs

Operating costs in 4Q06 were R$ 593 million, a reduction of 7.3% (R$ 46 million). The principal causes of this reduction were:

(i) PMSO: The main variations in this item were due to the following factors:

  - Expenditure on personnel, which increased 21.5% (R$ 17 million) in 4Q06, mainly due to the 32.7% acquisition of RGE and the annual payroll increase.
 
  - Expenditure on other operating costs which decreased 54.3% (R$ 109 million) over the period, due to non-occurrence in 4Q06 of RTE adjustment (R$ 88 million) in 4Q05

(ii) Fuel Consumption Account (CCC) and Energy Development Account (CDE): expenses incurred with CCC and CDE increased 28.4% and 22.5% respectively (R$ 50 million). It should be emphasized that these costs are non-manageable, as they are charges defined by ANEEL.

Private Pension Fund expenditure which fell by 108.8% (R$ 24 million) also contributed to the reduction in operating costs. This item, which in 4Q05 represented an expenditure of R$ 22 million, in 4Q06 turned into R$ 2 million revenue. This variation is basically due to the Actuarial Report Revision.

EBITDA

Other effects, including monetary and foreign exchange adjustment (R$ 13 million) and remuneration of “CVA and Parcela A” (R$ 13 million).

(ii) Financial Costs: reduction of 16.3% (R$ 44 million), dropping from R$ 267 million in 4Q05 to R$ 224 million in 4Q06, mainly due to:
