Update Fine Tuning 2009


Despite a harsh economic environment, discos resilient sales to residential and commercial customers should continue to cushion the downturn. Gencos should benefit from an upward trend in long-term prices and low impact on earnings due to take-or-pay contracts. Discos should have mixed results in 2009 as a result of a deteriorated economic environment. Those having low operating leverage on industrial consumption should post the best results in a peer comparison. Low leverage, falling interest rates and negligible exposure to FX should add to bottom lines. Gencos are almost fully contracted for 2009-2011, providing a fantastic opportunity to play ramping-up energy prices in the long term. We see diminished risks of oversupply down the road, and price dynamics point to long-term energy prices stabilizing only around 2013. Juicy dividend yields are one of the main pillars, with low risks ahead. Above all, utilities results should prove the gentle impact on earnings from adversities the Brazilian economy faces. Discos. Light (LIGT3; Outperform), having implemented a successful turnaround, features a resilient sales mix and negligible exposure to the USD, and should deliver steady results going forward. Light has the smallest exposure to industrial consumption in our coverage. Celesc (CLSC6; Underperform) should continue to face challenges as a result of its heavy cost structure and aboveaverage exposure to industrial consumption. Gencos. Tractebel (TBLE3; Outperform) has designed a suitable strategy to protect short-term cash flows and take advantage of supply bottlenecks expected for 2011-2012. Cesp (CESP6; Outperform) should be driven by a likely solution for concession renewal surfacing in 2H09. Holding cos. Copel (CPLE6; Outperform), thanks to its long-term EBITDA growth already secured by forward generation sales, is the valuation play for 2H09. Energias do Brasil (ENBR3; Outperform) is a nice bet for growth coupled with a huge medium-term dividend component, although impacted in the short term by slowing industrial consumption. CPFL (CPFE3; Market Perform) should continue delivering the industrys top returns and dividends. Cemig (CMIG4; Market Perform) should be leveraged by positive results and sentiment on the generation segment, but continue to face challenges in distribution due to above-average exposure to industrial consumption and concerns over its M&A spree.

New target prices and ratings. We incorporated into our estimates 1Q09 results, adjusted volume growth for discos, long-term energy prices, and new inputs from our economic research team for macro indicators (inflation, FX, interest rates), generally resulting in a mild downward revision of YE09 target prices with few notable exceptions. We have attributed Outperform ratings for Light (LIGT3, TP R$34.20 YE09, 39% upside), Copel (CPLE6, TP R$47.80 YE09, 75% upside; ELP, TP US$20.00 YE09, 46% upside), Tractebel (TBLE3; TP R$26.50 YE09; 43% upside), Cesp (CESP6; TP R$30.80 YE09; 79% upside) and Energias do Brasil (ENBR3; TP R$40.00 YE09; 46% upside). For CPFL (CPFE3, TP R$42.20 YE09, 33% upside; CPL, TP US$52.70 YE09, 10% upside) and Cemig (CMIG4, TP R$33.50 YE09, 29% upside; CIG, TP US$14.00, 7.4% upside) we have attributed a Market Perform rating. Our rating for Celesc (CLSC6; TP R$38.00 YE09; 16% upside) remains Underperform. Changes to main valuation assumptions. We assume: (i) long-term sovereign risk of 300 bps; (ii) equity premium of 600bps; (iii) liquidity risk premium of 100bps for utilities; (iv) long-term regulatory risk of 147bps to reflect differences in Brazils regulatory framework compared to other countries, thus adjusting the cost of equity for local utilities operating under incentive and benchmark regulation; (v) long-term regulatory WACC for discos of 8.81% (as opposed to the current 9.95%); (vi) marginal cost of debt in USD of 10% for privately-controlled companies and 12% for state-owned companies. On average, our changes resulted in WACC ranging from 12.9% to 15.4% in nominal BRL, on average 200bps lower than our previous mean. Changes to macroeconomic assumptions. Data provided by our macroeconomic research team: (i) GDP growth of -2.0% in 2009, from a previous forecast of +2.2%, and (ii) FX rate of R$2.40/US$ for YE09 and R$2.50/US$ for YE10 (R$2.10/US$ and R$2.10/US$, respectively, in the previous forecasts).

Investment thesis: What is ahead for utilities in 2009? In spite of current economic conditions, the fundamentals for Brazilian utilities remain solid and practically unchanged since our main October 08 report in which we discussed the 2009 outlook. Utilities stand as the most reliable source of cash, revenues, dividends and returns in an environment of depressed economic activity. Despite the harsh environment and the uncertainties surrounding economic recovery, we maintain a positive view on utilities due to attractive valuations, high yields and resilience of earnings to economic weakening. The rationale for Brazilian utilities is based on: (i) sale of an item of first necessity, with superior resilience to GDP fluctuations; (ii) very low or no debt exposure to the USD, as a result of business revenues being linked to local fundamentals and a consistent process of reducing USD-denominated debt since the 2001-2002 rationing; (iii) domestically-driven cashflows; (iv) conservative, low and suboptimal

leverage to deal with capital spending and dividends, which should result in no need for major cuts in payouts in coming years; (v) long-term debt profile, with strong cash generation and short-term cash holdings to match short-term debt service; (vi) access to earmarked funds at the Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES) for its capex commitments; (vii) high dividend yields and regular payouts due to stability in cash flows; (viii) predictable regulatory framework that has been constantly improved to provide for a stable business environment and capital attraction. (i) Consolidation. Since the crisis broke out in full force in 2H08, we have seen M&A activity regain momentum in the last months. Cemigs acquisition of Terna is the most compelling deal (R$3.3bn in total equity value). With the re-opening of debt capital markets, consolidators took a deep breath and went out on the street to find opportunities. However, most of the acquisitions are opportunistic and do not necessarily represent a consistent trend in the industry. We still believe the financial situation of most of the utilities listed on Bovespa is strong, with little willingness to dispose of assets at a time of depressed valuation. Except for Cemig, which continues to move ahead with acquisitions, other players appear to have put aside deals and wait for better days. In spite of the end of the tariff review process, we believe consolidation among distribution should recede for a while due to low visibility on an economic recovery process that could justify acquisitions. On the flip side, we understand another rationale applies for gencos. We expect the announcement of long-term energy sales in the free market to confirm our call of rising and resilient long-term prices, reflecting a tight but adjusted balance of supply and demand going forward. (ii) Expansion. We foresee no major concerns for greenfield projects in generation and ongoing capex for discos. The federal government continues to give ample support to the sector through BNDES. The only positive issue that should surface in 2009 is the governments efforts to auction more hydropower plants, in order to curb the long-term trend for prices. We expect the HPP Belo Monte (11 GW) auction to take place in November as scheduled, representing another landmark for capacity expansion. Given the size of this venture, players should gather in consortiums to bid on the asset. From the governments standpoint, risk lies in low competition given the capex commitment and environmental constraints that push players towards an association (Cemig and CPFL have declared their interest in taking part in the auction, but only in joint ventures). (iii) Prices. Gencos have a very tranquil situation for 2009, as most of its assured energy has already been sold in the regulated market and in take-or-pay contracts in the free market. The exercise of flexibility provisions in PPAs by free customers seen in 4Q08 and 1Q09 has given gencos an opportunity to resell this energy at higher prices in the regulated market (R$145/MWh on average), thus implying an improvement in earnings. We see pressure on prices in the free market in 2010-2012 on the back of low availability of assured energy to be sold and few hydropower plants starting up generation. The riskiest period is 2011-2012, as prices approach and even overshoot the long-term trend seen recently in contracts in the free market. 2012 prices are being negotiated at around R$150/MWh, as opposed to R$140/MWh for delivery in

2013 and thereafter. With more hydropower plants starting up from 2013 onwards, long-term prices should recede, although not substantially, as Brazil should marginally continue to increase its thermal capacity over time. The country has not been constructing large-reservoir hydropower plants since last decade (3.1-GW HPP Xingo and 1.3-GW HPP Serra da Mesa were the latest examples, having started up in the late 90s), opting for run-of-river plants. As consequence, management of reservoirs have become more volatile, resulting in the need to marginally continue to build thermals and thus pressuring long-term energy prices, preventing them from being substantially curbed.

As short-term catalysts, we expect the announcement of long-term supply deals in the free market to confirm the upward trend in energy prices, fueled by a structurally tight balance of supply and demand, addition of thermal plants, environmental constraints and transmission costs. Current long-term prices in the free market are reflecting the tight balance of supply and demand going forward and the pressure from escalating prices in the regulated market.

(iv) Concession renewal. In generation, the lack of a clear definition on the model used to renew concessions in Brazil is also behind the current price trend. Gencos with concessions expiring in the next 6 to 7 years cannot sign long-term contracts, adding further pressure to long-term prices in the free market. The current regulatory framework established that concessions have to be reauctioned upon expiry of contracts. In this scenario, the government could require payment for the concessions and/or lower prices. Retiring concessionaires have the legal right to receive the value of its non-depreciated assets, although the auction format could establish that the proceeds be used to reimburse the retiring concessionaire as the federal government clearly would not bear the load of paying back billions simply to have the concessions back. Therefore, we believe the current regulatory framework and the need to reimburse retiring concessionaires prevent any dramatic change in prices, as a consequence of the residual value of concessions to be repaid. Consequently, our bet is that the government should choose the price cap / fixed percentage charge model for concession renewal. The price cap model would imply a maximum fixed price for energy to be sold by hydroplants whose concession would be renewed. We understand that the price cap model should offer current concessionaires an opportunity to renew concessions under lower prices. In our view, the cap price should disregard the contribution of return of capital (depreciation), as most of those hydropower plants estimated useful lives (on the books) should have substantially lapsed. In other words, concessionaires should return to prices the benefit of holding depreciated plants (although not fully depreciated). On average, our calculations based on the current effects of depreciation yielded a decrease of 20%-25% in prices for greenfield assets. As long-term energy prices will be marginally and gradually reflecting the energy price delivered by newly-built assets, we assumed renewed-concession plants should offer a 20%-25% discount on the marginal-cost-of-expansion price target (i.e. a discount on long-term energy prices, currently standing at ~R$140/MWh). This model would provide for preservation of cash flows in the sector and ensure financial strength of gencos to compete for new greenfield assets in auctions, while maintaining energy at market prices and transferring the benefits of diminished depreciation to final consumers. We opted for this top-down approach in our financial models, pricing in energy sold by plants with concession renewed at R$105/MWh (Cesp is the most material case, with 67% of its capacity contingent upon renewal). We believe a solution for concession renewal has to surface soon, most likely in 2H09. We understand there is an economic reason behind it: the pool mechanism for discos to buy energy. Discos have to buy in 2010 energy to be delivered in 2013 onwards (A-3 auction) and 2015 onwards (A-5 auction). The largest chunks of energy sold in existing energy auctions were in 8-year contracts back in 2004/2005 (~17 GWa) and cannot be resold unless concessions maturing in 2015 are renewed. In that sense, discos could be forced to buy expensive energy in 2010 (A-3 auctions are meant for thermal plants due to the construction schedule) simply because they should have no visibility on concession renewal of gencos. Since penalties apply heavily to discos that are caught short on supply, their decision would likely be to disregard any concession renewal and buy energy in the A-3 and A-5 auctions.

Equity Research Brazil: Thursday, May 28, 2009

Although this the legal path to follow, this potential decision by discos lacks grounds from an economic standpoint. There are surely alternatives for this environment, as the government can waive the requirement to buy energy in the A-3 and A-5 auctions until a solution for renewal comes out. However, if the government targets lower prices and no uncertainty in the sector, it should encourage a solution for concession renewal in the short term.

Light (LIGT3)
Outperform. We are upgrading LIGT3 to Outperform and raising our YE09 TP to R$34.20 for LIGT3 (which includes an estimated R$1.69 09 DPS). Total return expected for LIGT3 is 39%, composed of 32% in capital appreciation and 7% in dividends (2009). Main fundamentals. Light is a successful turnaround story, with impressive shortterm results. Since management took the helm in mid-2006, Light has been implementing cost cuts, cracking down on delinquency, reducing leverage, and had a realistic tariff review in late 2008. Growth is the next step, with capacity addition in its generation business. In our view Light features strong defensive fundamentals that outshine in the current scenario of falling industrial consumption. The distribution business has one of the smallest exposures to industrial consumption among listed stocks (8.7% in the captive market; 18.3% in total electricity distributed). Its tariffs do price in the potential loss of two large industrial customers migrating their connection points to the national grid, being thus neutral for Light for valuation purposes. Improving the distribution business profitability should be the main goal in this tariff review cycle. Aneel priced in a higher level of energy losses in Lights tariffs, allowing the company to get better cost coverage. In that sense, initiatives to reduce losses add value in this review cycle. The company plans to commit R$850mn in capex through 2013 to push the loss rate to at least 19.15% from the current 20.79%, leading to an additional estimated R$95mn in EBITDA per year. We conservatively assumed no additional gain from loss reduction in our estimates, leaving this as an upside to our target price. We see no risks for 2009 dividends, with upside in the company increasing its payout going forward (Light currently distributes 50% of its earnings as dividends). Regarding debt, Light is one of the largest beneficiaries of falling interest rates, as the company carries the largest portion of debt linked to the CDI (71%) among utilities in our coverage. Leverage stands slightly above peers (1.8x Net-Debt-toEBITDA, assuming pension fund obligations) and provides room for regular and steady dividends. As for corporate ownership, we expect the BNDES and EDF share blocks, worth R$2bn at market prices, to be put up for sale as soon as capital market conditions improve. This may be the main source of overhang on the stock, although the strong fundamentals that back our rating should prevail, in our view. Valuation and stock performance. Our valuation for Light entails a 13.6% WACC (vs. 15.1% previously), leading to implicit EV/EBITDA multiples of 6.9x for 2009 and 6.3x for 2010. Light is trading at 7.3x P/E 09 and 6.3x P/E 10. In terms of EV/EBITDA, LIGT3 stands at 5.5x for 09 and 5.0x for 10, vs. 5.0x 09 and 4.9x 10 for its main peer Eletropaulo. The stock underperformed the Ibovespa YTD (24.2% vs.

Copel (CPLE6)
Outperform. We are maintaining our Outperform rating for Copel and cutting our
YE09 TP to R$47.80 for CPLE6 (which includes an estimated R$0.95 09 DPS) and US$20.00 for ELP (46% upside). Total return expected for CPLE6 is 74.5%, composed of 71.2% in capital appreciation and 3.3% in dividends (2009). Main fundamentals. Copels investment thesis is intrinsically based on generation, on the back of forward energy price dynamics and re-contracting of its assured energy in long-term contracts (from 2013 onwards). Copel has the most discounted NAV valuation among Brazilian utilities, despite the natural repricing of its generation contracts, which more than counterbalance the impacts of a higher WACC resulting from its low leverage and restrictive dividend distribution policy. In a peer comparison, assuming distribution and transmission assets are valued at an average of multiples (1.7x EV/RAB for pure discos and 4.8x EV/AAR for pure transcos), its generation assets are implicitly traded at a 66% discount.

The generation business should give 3-year EBITDA a boost. Copel will have almost 100% of its assured energy to resell in the free market at higher prices (R$135/MWh vs. current R$81/MWh). The company has been selling forward most of this energy to be freed up, locking in 65% of the amount available from 2013 onwards. Natural repricing of generation contracts should progressively change the risk of the business, as the company should collect 60% of its EBITDA from the generation segment in the long run. Growth in greenfield projects (medium-sized and small hydros, co-generation) could also add to this view, although the company has to loosen constraints of state laws

that force it to hold control of new ventures. Our target price assumes no additional value from this new frontier. We also expect Copel to maintain its capital discipline, as seen when the company walked away from the HPP Baixo Iguau auction. However, we understand the high level of cash could raise concerns about decretive or non-core investments. In spite of this risk, in our view the depressed valuation offers enough room even for unpleasant surprises. Copel renewed the TPP Araucaria tolling agreement with Petrobras for 2009, securing cost coverage while the company awaits better market conditions to sell the thermal plants assured energy in long-term regulated market auctions. Our conservative assumption is that gas-fired TPP Araucaria should deliver power in regulated market contracts by 2015, as Petrobras should have increased its gas production in the country from 2011 onwards. We continue not to see much upside in the distribution and transmission businesses. In Copels disco, we expect healthy volumes but aligned with Aneels estimates embedded in the X Factor (3.2% YoY). In transmission, we assume revenues growing in line with EPE estimates for capacity addition in the grid for 2008-2017, leading to an average R$200mn per year on the top line (3.2% of consolidated revenues). The company almost fully deleveraged in 1Q09 (0.06x Net-Debt-to-EBITDA; cash of R$1.6bn). Given growth in past years and a restrictive dividend policy, the overall outlook is negative for cost of capital, which should remain high. In a scenario of falling interest rates, EPS growth also is held back due to lower financial revenues. The main catalysts would comprise (i) solutions for the company to re-leverage, such as extraordinary dividends and/or higher payouts going forward (the company currently pays out the minimum 25% of its earnings) and/or acquisitions fully financed through equity, and (ii) higher-than-expected long-term energy prices. With all the upside on the operating side, mainly in generation, we view Copel as the top deep value choice for 2009, as we expect corporate governance risks to diminish over time with the proximity of the 2010 elections. Valuation and stock performance. Our valuation for Copel entails a 15.4% WACC (vs. 16.6% previously), leading to implicit EV/EBITDA multiples of 7.1x for 2009 and 6.7x for 2010. Copel trades at 7.6x P/E 09 and 7.5x P/E 10. On an EV/EBITDA basis, CPLE6 stands at 4.1x for 09 and 3.9x for 10. The stock has underperformed the Ibovespa YTD (18.0% vs. 41.3%), as well as its peers when compared to the IEE (Bovespas Electricity Energy Index), 18.0% vs. 28.3% for the IEE.

Cesp (CESP6)
Outperform. We are maintaining our Outperform rating for CESP6 and raising our YE09 TP to R$30.80 (which includes an estimated R$0.40 09 DPS). Total return expected for CESP6 is 79%, composed of 76.6% in capital appreciation and 2.4% in dividends (2009). Main fundamentals. We used a top-down approach to price in concession renewal. In our view, the model to be presented by the federal government should allow current concessionaires to renew concession contracts under the restriction of price caps for energy sold. Our estimates price in the price cap and/or fixed percentage charge model. In these models, hydroplants undergoing concession renewal should be charged a fixed percentage of their revenues to contribute to lower tariffs or be allowed to sell energy under a cap. In both scenarios, the economics for gencos should be equivalent. In order to price the cap, our top-down approach assumes the cap price disregarding the effect of return of capital on long-term energy prices. In other words, we assume the maximum price at which gencos should sell energy should reflect the fact that those plants are fully depreciated or have diminished residual value, i.e. entrepreneurs have already had a substantial portion of their capital returned. In that sense, we targeted the average contribution of depreciation to the formation of energy prices. For newly-built plants arising from the latest New Energy auctions, depreciation amounts to 20%-25% of the marginal cost of expansion in Brazil (~R$140/MWh). Consequently, our model factors in Cesps Jupi and Ilha Solteira concessions being renewed, but a price 25% below the current marginal cost of expansion, or ~R$105/MWh. In order to analyze the reasonability of this assumption, we looked into the most recent (i) Existing Energy auctions, and (ii) New Energy auctions. As for (i), our R$105/MWh assumption stands below the most recent price cap of R$120/MWh for A-1 (delivery next year) auctions in 2007 and 2008 (both adjusted for inflation) and the R$145/MWh outcome from the January auction. As for (ii), the average price of the Madeira plants (70% sold in the regulated market and 30% in the free market) stands between R$105/MWh and R$110/MWh. Given that our assumption is aligned with those energy prices and we think the concession renewal solution should also provide sound cash flows for state-owned companies, we estimated Cesp selling energy at R$105/MWh for plants with concessions expiring by 2015 (67% of Cesps capacity). We assume no gains from potential privatization after concession renewal. We understand the State of So Paulo would highly consider selling its controlling stake in the company (R$3.6bn at our target price) shortly after a solution for concession renewal, although this potential upside is linked to the terms and conditions of renewal to be unveiled by the federal government. Cesp is highly exposed to the USD due to its US$1.0bn long-term debt. Although most expenses are non-cash through 2011, potential financial losses may slash the bottom line should the BRL depreciate substantially like in 2H08. Despite having the

Equity Research Brazil: Thursday, May 28, 2009

highest leverage among utilities (3.6x Net-Debt-to-EBITDA), the debt amortization schedule is aligned with the current cash flow and leads to no refinancing needs in our estimates (which prices in mild USD behavior in the foreseeable future). Valuation and stock performance. Our valuation for Cesp entails a 14.3% WACC (vs. 15.9% previously), leading to implicit EV/EBITDA multiples of 8.2x for 2009 and 7.6x for 2010. Cesp is trading at 10.8x P/E 09 and 8.4x P/E 10. Looking at EV/EBITDA, CESP6 stands at 5.9x for 09 and 5.5x for 10. In both cases, Cesp is trading in line with its peers. The stock has underperformed the Ibovespa YTD (14.3% vs. 41.3%), as well as its peers when based on the IEE (Bovespas Electricity Energy Index), up 14.3% vs. 28.3% for the IEE.

Energias do Brasil (ENBR3)


Outperform. We are maintaining our rating as Outperform and cutting our YE09 TP to R$40.00 for ENBR3 (which prices in an estimated R$1.48 09 DPS). Total return expected for ENBR3 is 46%, composed of 40.6% in capital appreciation and 5.4% in dividends (2009). Main fundamentals. Our investment thesis for Energias do Brasil is based on growth in generation, mainly in greenfield projects. The company is adding 414 MW (+24%) to its generation installed capacity in the next five years, which should be responsible EDB posting one of the highest EBITDA growth rates in this time span (15% 3-year EBITDA growth). ENBR3 is also a deep value call, although stock liquidity is the main issue. The company should completely change the nature of its business over time, through greenfield assets in generation but also collecting a sound stream of cash flows from its distribution business. After an asset swap transaction with Grupo Rede in 2008 that resulted in the disposal of disco Enersul and consolidation of HPP Lajeado, the company increased the generation business total contribution to EBITDA (52% vs. 39% prior to the deal). In our view, the deal provided greater stability in cash flows and reduced recurring capital spending by R$100mn on average. As for capex plans, the company should have HPP Santa Fe (29MW) and revamping of HPP Mascarenhas and Suia (25MW) delivering power to the grid in 2009. The construction of 720-MW TPP Pecem I (EDBs stake: 50%) remains on schedule, with start-up slated for 2012. New investments in small hydro plants (601 MW in portfolio, of which we estimate 372 MW being constructed in the next three years) should consume R$697mn in 2009 and R$726mn in 2010, financed by BNDES. We understand the 9.9% of the companys shares (R$312mn) held in treasury causes overhang on the stock, although it could be seen as a means to manage cash dividends in times of higher-cost debt. The company could (i) cancel shares over time, while eliminating any threat of earnings dilution but with negative impacts on liquidity, (ii) implement a share bonus with existing shares in treasury, and (iii) resell shares in treasury in a block trade on Bovespa, like the procedure followed by Bradespar in disposing of a substantial portion of its CPFL shares in May 09. In terms of funding, we understand Energias do Brasil has secured all its needs for planned ongoing capex in distribution and revamping of SHPPs in the coming five years through the BNDES CALC stand-by credit line (R$900mn, 10-year tenor). The remaining hydro and thermal generation projects should be funded through project finance. SHPP Santa F recently received takeout loans from BNDES (R$76mn) and TPP Pecm secured financing with the IDB and BNDES for construction of the plant (~R$1.8bn). Although the company has 69% of its debt in debentures maturing by 2011 (R$548mn), we see little chance of it not being rolled over, as capital markets have reopened for local issues, not to mention the fact that cash generation can fully match obligations at maturity. We estimate dividends remaining at a 50% payout ratio as per the by-laws, although there is the possibility of the company starting to pay higher dividends after huge

capital commitments are over by 2011. In our view, ENBR3 is a nice bet for portfolios targeting growth with a strong medium-term yield component. Valuation and stock performance. Our valuation for Energias do Brasil entails a 13.6% WACC (vs. 15.1% previously), leading to implicit EV/adj.EBITDA multiples of 6.3x for 2009 and 5.7x for 2010. EDB is trading at 9.3x P/E 09 and 7.8x P/E 10. Looking at EV/adj.EBITDA, ENBR3 stands at 4.7x for 09 and 4.2x for 10. In both cases, ENBR is trading at the low end of its peers. The stock has underperformed the Ibovespa YTD (29.3% vs. 41.3%) and outperformed the IEE (Bovespas Electricity Energy Index), 29.3% vs. 28.3% for the IEE.

Tractebel (TBLE3)
Outperform. We are maintaining our Outperform rating and cutting our YE09 TP to R$26.50 for TBLE3 (upside of 43.3%, which prices in an estimated R$0.54 2H09 DPS). Total return expected for TBLE3 is 45.9%, composed of 40.4% in capital appreciation and 5.5% in dividends (1H09 and 2H09). Main fundamentals. Tractebel has one of the highest EBITDA growth in our coverage (12.7%). The reasons behind this lie in solid fundamentals: (i) greenfield projects (33-MW biomass cogeneration plant 55% Tractebels and 1,087-MW HPP Estreito 40% Tractebels), (ii) consolidation of most recent acquisitions (3 small hydros, 2 wind farms, comprising 114 MW), (iii) start-up of 243-MW HPP So Salvador in 2009, (iv) escalating forward energy prices that provide for revenue growth in real terms, (v) wise energy allocation proven over time (2008 and 1Q09 are living proof), to protect short-term cash flows, and (vi) almost 100% of its assured energy sold for the next three years at enticing step-up prices (see graph on page 5). The company has been able to resell energy in the regulated market at higher prices (45 MWa; R$145/MWh) after some free customers adjusted their intake through flexibility provisions in PPAs, making money out of the harsh economic environment and falling industrial activity. For 2010 and subsequent years there has been no request by free customers to lower amounts in PPAs, as industrials also fear the tight balance of supply and demand ahead. Flexible contracts account for 35% of Tractebels total assured energy, with maximum flexibility of 20% in take-or-pay contracts. The amount of assured energy that the company is at risk to clear at the spot price is thus ~7%. For an average spot price expected to stay around R$80R$115/MWh in 2009 and average contract price of R$110/MWh, the risk for revenues is less than 3% of the top line. We understand the situation is quite comfortable due to the low impact on earnings. Tractebels leverage is increasing over time as a result of its heavy capex program, but still standing below the average for utilities (1.7x Net-Debt-to-EBITDA). However, the current level easily accommodates its high and regular dividend payouts, also thanks to growth. Leverage should show some inflection by 2011 with the start-up of the main greenfield projects (Estreito, Andrade), which should make total capacity also jump, by 13% between 2008 and 2010. Tractebel acquired five different brownfield assets in 2008. Despite the small size, it reinforces the companys consolidation mood. Should credit conditions in capital markets improve, we expect Tractebel to take part in other accretive deals. In our view, Tractebel offers the best combination of dividends and growth, with its strong defensive features coupled with steady growth (11% EBITDA CAGR 20092012). Dividends should remain at 55% payout in 2009, as the company should avoid higher financing costs to manage its cost of capital and keep capacity addition on track. Tractebel already has earmarked funding from BNDES for its greenfield projects, easing pressures on cash. We expect Tractebel to return to 95% payout in 2010, with expected low capital spending.

CPFL (CPFE3)
Market Perform. We are maintaining our Market Perform rating for CPFL and cutting our YE09 TP to R$42.20 for CPFE3 (32.7% upside, which includes a R$1.76 2H09 DPS) and US$52.70 for CPL (10% upside, which includes a US$2.20 2H09 dividend per ADR). Total return expected for CPFE3 is 37.8%, composed of 25.6% in capital appreciation and 10.2% in dividends (1H09 and 2H09). Main fundamentals. We regard CPFL as one of the steadiest and most reliable companies in our coverage, with solid results popping up on a quarterly basis. Tariff reviews ended in 2008 (Paulista, RGE, Jaguarina, Santa Cruz) and should release companies to collect better returns going forward. Above all, the 2008 tariff reviews proved that companies deeply concerned about cost management can preserve gains in tariff resets despite the regulator Aneel raising the bar on target costs. Generation start-ups helped cushion the downward impact of tariff reviews in discos and should also add to growth in coming years (HPP Foz do Chapec, TPP Baldin, small hydropower plants). Superior performance in costs the cornerstone of our investment case for CPFL. The company should continue to beat its regulatory targets and capture additional returns due to integration of activities among its controlled companies. Controlling a corporate structure composed of several discos with tight geographical fit contributes to cashing in synergic gains from SG&A and operating costs resulting from downsizing. Scale plays an important role in cost performance and CPFL is the company featuring the largest array of discos under the same ownership structure (8 discos). The company posts cash operating costs (personnel, material, third-party services and others) of around R$140 per customer in its distribution business, at the very low end of the industry (Cemig R$228/customer, Eletropaulo R$163/customer) despite a larger concession area. Due to its diligent and synergic-focused consolidation strategy, we do not expect CPFL to venture into expensive transactions in the distribution business. The Santa Cruz and Jaguarina acquisitions in 2007 and 2008, respectively, are proof of one of the pillars of the investment case. Given the number of discos located in So Paulo state likely to undergo M&A processes in coming years, we expect CPFL to corner some of those potential transactions. Growth in greenfield generation (HPP Foz do Chapec, TPP Baldin, small hydros) should be the main driver for EBITDA growth in coming years. In the absence of accretive opportunities for acquisition of distribution companies, CPFL should continue developing efforts to increase the share of generation in its consolidated figures. HPP Foz do Chapec (51%; 220MWa) should add R$130mn to EBITDA by 2010 and TPP Baldin (24MWa), R$41mn and small hydropower plants (38 MWa), R$64mn by 2011. In three years, the generation business should account for 27% of consolidated EBITDA, adding resilience to earnings and lowering the intrinsic risks of the distribution activities. CPFL manages leverage to deliver regular dividends at high payouts. We see no risks for dividends going forward. The current net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio (1.98x) is

Equity Research Brazil: Thursday, May 28, 2009

polluted by non-EBITDA-generating debt from the project finance of its greenfield projects. With the start-up of these gencos, leverage should fall to 1.61x by 2011. In order to manage cost of capital, dividends are the best alternative in the absence of synergic acquisitions. It is worth noting that CPFL is the company whose debt-tototal-capitalization ratio is closest to Aneels target (57.2% D/D+E), which proves managements concern and efforts in targeting the regulatory cost of capital to achieve the best return possible. Valuation and stock performance. Our valuation for CPFL entails a 12.9% WACC (vs. 15.1% previously), leading to implicit EV/EBITDA multiples of 8.1x for 2009 and 7.8x for 2010. CPFL trades above its peers at 9.3x P/E 09 and 9.0x P/E 10. On an EV/EBITDA basis, CPFE3 stands at 6.6x for 09 and 6.4x for 10, above its peers. The company also posts the third-highest ROE in the sector (31% for 09 and 32% for 10), standing only below AES Tiet and Tractebel. Year to date, the stock has underperformed the Ibovespa (10% vs. 41.3%), and its peers when compared to the IEE (Bovespas Electricity Energy Index), 28.3% YTD.

Cemig (CMIG4)
Market Perform. We are upgrading our rating to Market Perform and cutting our YE09 TP to R$33.50 for CMIG4 (29% upside, which includes a R$2.22 09 DPS) and US$14.00 for CIG (7.4% upside, which includes a US$0.93 09 dividend per ADR). Total return expected for CMIG4 is composed of 20.5% in capital appreciation and 8.5% in expected 2009 dividends. Main fundamentals. The stock has significantly underperformed the Ibovespa since we downgraded it in October (4.9% vs. 58.9% for the Ibovespa), opening an interesting valuation gap. We still understand the challenges for Cemig are not negligible (exposure to industrial consumption, leverage) and have concerns about pricing of M&A transactions. However, current upside to our TP justifies increasing the weight of CMIG/CIG in portfolios. In our view Cemig is a fairly-priced option to play Brazilian utilities after the valuation gap widened due to recent stock performance. We consolidated Terna (TRNA11) in our estimates for Cemig, which adds to medium-term EBITDA given the stability in revenues of the transmission company acquired in May (full consolidation in 4Q09 in our estimates). With Terna, the transmission segments contribution to 10 EBITDA should reach 15.3% (R$658mn; contribution to 09 EBITDA should be R$161mn). We view the premium paid (35% in our estimates) as high, encouraging minority shareholders to tag along in the mandatory buyback offer to take place by year-end, which should increase total consideration involved in the acquisition of Terna from R$2.3bn to R$3.5bn. The transaction should be responsible for leveraging Cemig to 2.1x Net-Debt-to-EBITDA, on top of its peers and pressuring net financial expenses going forward. The main value driver for Cemig by far is its generation business. Long-term energy prices upward trend hugely benefits the company due to uncontracted capacity from 2012 onwards. The company has already signed highly-priced long-term contracts with free customers (Votorantim, Arcelor, Usiminas) and others should surface soon, although in line with our long-term estimates and the marginal cost of expansion of Brazilian generation. Through long-term sales in the free market, Cemig should secure a safe stream of revenues (contracts at ~R$140/MWh for 2013 onwards). Investment in Light adds to consolidated EBITDA given the Rio de Janeiro discos solid performance. As aforementioned, we see Light as one of the top choices in terms of security in the current environment. Light should contribute 8.7% of consolidated EBITDA in 2010 (currently 10.2%) after completion of the acquisition of Terna. We believe Cemig has plans to cut costs by R$200mn from year-end 2010 onwards. The main focus seems to be the distribution company, which left the April 08 tariff review underperforming its regulatory targets (R$237/customer vs. Aneels target of R$196/customer). We do not price in any benefit from cost cuts due to the natural hurdles for state-owned companies to downsize, leaving this as upside beyond our target price.

Equity Research Brazil: Thursday, May 28, 2009

With the re-opening of debt capital markets in 2009 for new debt issues, growth plans through acquisitions may gain momentum. Federal District disco CEB (Cia Energtica de Braslia) should likely be the next target, as both companies revealed that they are in preliminary talks. Although the price and premium are uncertain, we estimate CEBs EV at ~R$700mn (R$412mn in shareholder value) with a potential R$120mn contribution to Cemigs consolidated EBITDA (for 100% of total capital). Given the stage of negotiations and absence of more detailed data on CEB, we did not incorporate the Braslia disco in our estimates. The main threats for Cemig remain its distribution companys performance and above-average exposure to industrial consumption. In our estimates, the disco should contribute 38% of consolidated EBITDA 09 due to (i) a worse-than-expected tariff readjustment (6.2%) on the back of loss of past-period deferrals (22.1% EBITDA margin for Cemigs disco in 2009, vs. 26.1% in 2008) and (ii) slowing industrial consumption. We expect Cemigs total volume in the captive market to grow by 3.8% in 2009 (vs. 7.6% in 2008), in spite of the deceleration in industrial consumption. Valuation and stock performance. Our valuation for Cemig entails a 13.7% WACC (vs. 15.6% previously), leading to implicit EV/Adj EBITDA multiples of 8.7x for 2009 and 7.6x for 2010. Cemig trades at 9.5x P/E 09 and 9.0x P/E 10. On an EV/Adj EBITDA basis, CMIG4 stands at 6.4x for 09 and 5.4x for 10. In both cases, CMIG trades in the second quartile of its peers. Year to date, the stock has underperformed the Ibovespa (8.3% vs. 41.3%), as well as its peers when compared to the IEE (Bovespas Electricity Energy Index), 8.3% vs. 28.3% for the IEE.

Celesc (CLSC6)
Underperform. We are maintaining our Underperform rating for Celesc and cutting our YE09 TP to R$38.00 for CLSC6 (which includes an expected R$0.96 09 DPS). Total return expected for CLSC6 is 16%, composed of 12.6% in capital appreciation and 2.9% in dividends (2009). Main fundamentals. Given weak margins (16.4% EBITDA margin in 08 and 8.9% estimated for 09), Celesc is suffering additional pain from the 2008 tariff review. The regulator raised the bar for the company, pricing in manageable costs of R$116mn in its tariffs. However, the company posted R$160mn in 1Q09, 27% above its target for manageable costs. The company also maintains one of the highest levels of SG&A expenses in the industry (8% of Net Revenues). With challenges posed by the heavy cost structure, we understand margins should remain low, with little likelihood of substantial improvements in the near future. Additionally, above-average exposure to industrial consumption (33.3% of energy sales to captive customers; 41.3% of total energy distributed) is a major risk factor in the current environment. Its concession area has large exposure to agricultural GDP, and should our estimates for agricultural GDP materialize in 2009 (flat YoY), Celesc should face additional challenges. Full consolidation of SC Gs strengthened the P&L and its balance sheet, although growth is linked to local industry and uncertain expansion of gas pipelines. We estimate volume growth to be aligned with GDP, i.e. 4% in the long run. Despite rumors of potential cuts in personnel through a voluntary termination program, little changes in its cost structure have kicked in recently (first signs seen 1Q09). No leverage (the company has net cash of R$104mn) is the natural consequence of small margins. Consequently, the company lacks strength in its financial statements to cope with higher dividend payments. We note that low leverage combined with high capex (R$260mn for 2009 in Aneels target for the distribution business; total budget of R$306mn announced) add to the high cost of capital, thus being reflected in stock performance. In our view Celesc is clearly the company facing the toughest challenges in 2009 in our coverage, leading us to maintain our rating. Valuation and stock performance. Our valuation for Celesc entails a 14.8% WACC (vs. 17.2% previously), leading to implicit EV/EBITDA multiples of 4.4x for 2009 and 3.0x for 2010. Celesc trades above its peers at 8.9x P/E 09 and 5.4x P/E 10. On an EV/EBITDA basis, CLSC6 stands at 3.9x for 09 and 2.6x for 10, below its peers. The stock has underperformed the Ibovespa YTD (0.3% vs. 41.3%) and its peers when compared to the IEE (Bovespas Electricity Energy Index), 28.3% YTD for the IEE.
