By Brazil Stock Guide – Neoenergia posted a 73% jump in fourth-quarter net income to R$1.5 billion, as stronger operating performance and strict cost control lifted margins despite elevated interest rates.

EBITDA rose 29% year over year in the quarter to R$4.0 billion, while cash EBITDA reached R$3.3 billion, up 14% versus 4Q24. The expansion was fueled by positive adjustments in the “Parcela B” component of distribution tariffs and a 6.9% drop in operating expenses, largely reflecting non-recurring items booked a year earlier.
Energy injected into the grid, including distributed generation, increased 2.2% in the quarter to 23,128 GWh, supported by a growing customer base. Energy distributed reached 19,838 GWh, up 2.5%, even as milder temperatures tempered demand in some regions.
Financial expenses remained broadly stable, and net debt to EBITDA stood at 3.41x at the end of December, slightly below 3.45x a year earlier, signaling balance-sheet stability amid a heavy investment cycle.
Operationally, all five distribution companies remained within regulatory quality limits for service continuity, reinforcing a quarter marked not only by earnings acceleration but by execution consistency.
