Bullish Statements during Earnings call

Statement
We understand that the company in the electricity sector, more than that, in the environment of listed companies in Brazil is a company that is among the most attractive companies in terms of dividend payout
That's another strength of the company
And we reduce the number of financial guarantees, which helped improve the credit rating of the company
We believe that this is a sustainable strategy, investing in the regulated sector where we have the highest guarantee of a return to our shareholders maintaining our credit quality even going resorting more frequently to the capital market, maintaining an adequate net debt over EBITDA and at the same time ensuring a dividend yield that is very attractive to our shareholders
But we understand that our leverage is low, we have a very positive credit rating
And this was a very successful move
As mentioned by our CEO, the company is a strong cash count
In Q4 ‘23, results we see epitope growing 30.5% recurring are better, in other words, net of the Baguari and Retiro Baixo sale, which were events that happened in q4, which helped grow our accounting EBITDA and net income growing 39.8% in Q4 ‘23, over Q4 ‘22, partly impacted by the adjustment of the tariff review of the Disco [ph] in effect as of May ‘23
This is investments to be made in regulated sectors and it also brings important gains for the company
This brings us consistent and solid results, which we believe are very important for our investors
As the CEO said the results for the year were excellent
In considering our strategy and regulated sectors ability to execute our operation, we believe that these results are solid and healthy
This is exactly what enabled the delivery of these results, a strong cash generation, a record adjusted EBITDA of BRL8.1 billion
Today, the company is very efficient, and we deliver value to our shareholders in a very clear and positive way, considering these indicators
As we communicate it to the market, our dividends proposed for 2023 are very attractive
I truly believe that these results given the execution of our strategy allowed us to get this far, and will allow us to continue to post even greater results in the future
We understand that CEMIG today more than in the electricity sector in Brazil has one of the highest and most attractive dividends considering the dividends for 2023 that represents a remuneration a dividend yield of 12.4%
But that's the remuneration for shareholders the very attractive dividend yield considering declining interest rates
This boosts our cash
So, in addition to the energy, legal energy program, which brings a great benefit not only for the company reducing losses, but also bringing technology and security for low income communities
Also, when we sell an asset, at the same time, resources kept in the company being reinvested creating even more value to shareholders and more results in terms of improved services to clients
We are working businesses usual seeking the best earnings and results for the company
And we sold them at a very good premium, which shows that a third party can use these assets better than we can
They bring us optimism that CEMIG will continue to be a company that can ensure attractive remuneration for our shareholders in the future
So, if we have future additional capital gains with futures sale of assets, this will mean an additional payout which will continue to make the company, now decide one of the best companies in Brazil in terms of dividend payout, a company with consistent results concessions which are very profitable
And are also enable better levels of service to my end customers
So this is kind of the general strategy that led to these results that you see on the screen of record EBITDA of BRL8 billion record investments of BRL4.8 billion and a record net income of BRL5.4 billion, which is also bringing to you shareholders a spectacular yield, dividend yield of 12.4%
And this investment program ends up helping us with market growth
We understand we had an EBITDA greater than BRL8 billion and net income greater than BRL5 billion a result that we believe are delivering we're delivering to the shareholders, while we promised in our strategic planning
And today, we are proud to say that we have within those regulatory targets or thresholds
       

Bearish Statements during earnings call

Statement
While we have achieved what is in progress, and the challenges and opportunities, I'd like to draw your attention to challenges and opportunities investments in floating distributed generation
And I'd like to remind you that our concession was very much impacted and continues to be impacted by the migration of clients to distributed generation
But in Q4, there was no balance of this offsetting portion and that's why we see a negative reduction of 25.3
We believe that this ratio is low
Indeed, DEC did increase last year, more specifically in Q4, where we had a considerable increase of extreme weather events
And of course it impacted Minas state
And we see the consequences of this strategy
But I can assure you that in the month of February already, DEC is back within the regulatory threshold in March, again, an expectation to remain below regulatory threshold
Regarding OpEx which is my coverage in my tariff compared to what was realized we are below the coverage in 0.7% and EBITDA 3.8%, showing our commitment, our investment in our capital allocation
And when they are not regulated, this is business that we invested because there is a guarantee of profitability
