CURITIBA, Brazil, March 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Companhia
Paranaense de Energia - Copel (NYSE: ELPVY, ELP / Latibex: XCOP /
B3: CPLE3, CPLE5, CPLE6), a company that generates, transmits,
distributes and sells power, announces its results for the fourth
quarter of 2020 and would like to invite you all for its conference
call on Thursday to discuss its results.
In 4Q20, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization reached R$ 1,308.7
million, 26.5% higher than the R$
1,034.5 million recorded in 4Q19. This result is basically
due to the 82.5% growth in the "electricity sales to distributors"
line, mainly due to the commercialization of 564 GWh of energy
produced by UTE Araucária ("UEGA") in 4Q20 and the higher volume of
energy sold in bilateral contracts by Copel Mercado Livre; (ii) the
14.7% increase in the "use of the main distribution and
transmission grid" line, a consequence of the 3.3% growth in the
distributor's grid market and the periodic tariff review and tariff
readjustment in transmission contracts , and by the net record of
R$ 178.2 million in reversals in the
"provisions and reversals" line, partially offset by the 32.5%
increase in "electricity purchased for resale". Excluding
non-recurring items, adjusted EBITDA was R$
1,489.1 million, 50.6% higher than that recorded in
4Q19.
