Thank you, Operator. Good morning. First, I would like to thank everyone for being here for the presentation of the results for the third quarter of 2024. With me are our CFO and Director of Investor Relations, Maurício Botelho, Vice President of Regulation and Institutional Relations, Fernando Maia, Vice President of Networks, Gioreli de Sousa, Vice President of People, Management and Sustainability, Daniele Salomão, Vice President of Energy Solutions and Leader of Energisa, Roberta Godoi, Chief Executive Officer of Gas Businesses, Débora Olivieri, that just joined us, Chief Executive Officer of ES Gás, Fábio Bertollo, and the Investor Relations team. We kindly ask you guys to check on the disclaimer information before doing anything. Starting the presentation of the group's results, we'd like to highlight something related to the results on this third quarter.
In this quarter, we completed one year since the acquisition of ES Gás, our first investments in gas distribution, and delivered several records, which we will explore more in this presentation. Still within the gas business, on this last Wednesday, as disclosed in the material fact, we concluded the acquisition of 100% of shares of Infragás, which holds 51% of Norgás, a holding company that owns the corporate interest in natural gas from Sergipe, Alagoas, Rio Grande do Norte, Ceará and Pernambuco. Regarding the stake held by Norgás in Sergipe, we emphasize in the material fact that in the context of exercise of certain preemption rights providing for the shareholders' agreement, the State of Sergipe entering the share purchase and sale agreements to acquire the entire equity interest held by Norgás in Sergipe. After checking the information of the agreement and the state of Sergipe, Norgás would not be with Sergipe.
After verifying everything with the other four distributors, with the acquisition of Norgás, our goal is to contribute to the growth of this market with our century-old experience in asset management, customer relationships, and knowledge of the regulated and free environment. We have been operating in the Northeast for 27 years and have always believed in the region for its strong growth potential, and we want to position ourselves as a relevant player of the expansion of the natural gas demand and infrastructure. In the energy distribution segment, the market performance continues to show relevant growth, 5.9% compared to the third quarter of 2023, the highest rate in the last 11 years on this quarter. The PMSO of the group, excluding the non-recurring effect of the profit sharing and PLR, had a growth of 4.2% in the comparison between quarters.
That means that in line with the inflation for the period, demonstrating intention and efficiency in cost management, and lastly, I'd like to highlight the performance of Energisa and the distributed generation arm, which reached 420 MWp installed capacity. In the third quarter of this year, for another consecutive year, we have achieved a great place to work still in some of our companies, having reached the 19th place in the national ranking and the second place in the state ranking with Energisa Minas Rio. That is, we are once again one of the best companies to work for, reinforcing our commitment to the people value. I take this opportunity to thank the more than 17,000 people who contribute daily to the construction of this group.
I finish here the highlights and pass the word to Maurício Botelho, CFO and Investor Relations Director of the group, to continue with the presentation of the results for the third quarter of 2024.
Good morning. Good morning, everyone. Thank you all for being present here at the disclosure of another quarterly result for Energisa Group. I would like to start by drawing attention to the non-recurring and non-cash effects they would usually consider for better understanding the results they are. First, the provision for profit sharing and bonuses, BRL 61.5 million impact on the quarter, on the consolidated PMSO, due to the recognition of the PLR on a monthly basis. And not in the last quarter of the year, as we have always considered until the previous fiscal year. The PMSO was negatively affected on a comparative basis with the third quarter of 2023.
The second item is the provision for overcontracting in Energisa Acre, BRL 2.2 million, in effect in the quarter. On the regulatory assets and liabilities line of the concession, which in the same way for the PLR, we started provision to the estimated impact of the overcontracting monthly for the year 2024. In this quarter specifically, the EBITDA was positive due to the better outlook for the overcontracting to close for the year 2024. These two changes in the presentation, they are bringing less volatility between quarterly results, especially in the fourth quarter. We have the market-to-market of Energisa Comercializadora, BRL 14.1 million non-cash effect related to the market of the commercializations in the market-to-market of the EPM call and on the net profit line as recorded financial results, and we had a record of BRL 98.4 million in the quarter, positively due to the market-to-market, the EPM stock of the MtM.
We have made more details about this operation available in the interactive spreadsheet section in our website. The recurring EBITDA fell 13.5% and reached BRL 1.8 billion in the quarter. The most relevant effects that help explain the result were the tariff adjustments of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul and Sergipe, that were negative, mainly due to the IGPM. In the case, they had approximately 48% of the EBITDA of the group in the third quarter. On the recurring of Energisa Acre and Rondônia, they had a growth of approximately 28% due to the first post-acquisition tariff review, which took place by the end of last year. Paraíba and Tocantins grew more than 30% in the same indicator, explained by the great performance on the two concessions, especially in the housing.
With the positives in this quarter, highlighting the quarter, the EBITDA was at the contingency area reached and judicial and everything, and it affected about BRL 40 million with the EBITDA indicator. Talking about the adjusted debt, we closed the quarter at 2.8 times. The indicator remains well-behaved, reflecting the group's financial discipline and distance from the level of the current financial guidance. It is worth highlighting this quarter the excellent work of extending the debt profile, BRL 3.8 billion in debt rollover operations and BRL 1 billion exchange offer, where we offered the bondholders with positions maturing 2025 and 2026 the option to exchange for a longer-term security. Those improving the group's amortization schedule. Then on the next slide, we talked about PMSO, as Ricardo mentioned. It is highlighting the effect of inflation and highlights.
It presented an increment of 4.2% compared between quarters, below the inflation for the period. And talking about the trajectory of the distribution sector of Energisa, which went from adjustments on the Base from ANEEL from last year to allow for the adaptation of the quality of the level sets and become less set of regulatory penalties, and now has resumed the trajectory of moderate evolution, totaling BRL 746 million in expenses in the third quarter of the PRR. On the next slide, we talked about the net profit. It was about BRL 442 million, 2.3% more than on the same quarter of 2023. And this result is explained in part in the lesser financial expenses and BRL 152 million in 2024 in virtue of the reduction of the cost. And the debt of Energisa. And it's such a showing here on the slide.
Including such as the other effects on EBITDA that we mentioned. Next slide, please. We talked about investments of volume. Investments on the quarter was 28.2% bigger than 2023, highlighting the segment of the energy distribution that aggregated 44% more at the same quarter of the last year and surpassed the BRL 1.5 billion of the quarter, and it's almost BRL 4 billion total of the year. On the transmission, the investments, they had a moderate loss, also reflecting the inclusion of Tocantins Transmissora in Paraíba 1 and 2 and distributed generation, the conclusion of 37 power plants in 2023, the resultant reduction of investments compared to 2024. But even so, we have more than BRL 100 million investments on the quarter. Adding everything to September, the investments were BRL 4.7 billion.
We keep focus on doing the 6 billion BRL investments that we told people that was expected from 2024. Now we're going to be talking about the highlights of the group, mainly with the distribution that we started to show you guys since last year. In the third quarter of 2024, it was influenced by heat waves and high temperatures, as the indicator cooling degree days CDD growing exponentially in front of the average. As such, as we can check on the maps, the third quarter last year was also highlighted with an extreme weather. In this way, when we compared the quarters, the need of cooling was less. Once that in August 2023 was just when we started initiating the heat waves, these dynamics reflects on the graphics of seasonality and on the market, it shows on the left side.
It shows an expressive great growth on the second semester of 2023 and keeping on 2024. On this end of the year, the. As we can compare, it's like high. And we can show that besides the climate question, the good performance of the industry was also decisive for the growth of the market on the quarter. Talking about losses, Group Energisa closed the quarter with an index of total loss of 12.83%, representing a reduction of 0.11 percentage points related to the loss on the second quarter of 2024. The heat waves on the group concessions, they have provoked great variations on the checking indicator of electrical losses and the temporary breaking on the energy on the markets. And if we correct this seasonal effect, the losses index, it falls to 12.53% on the quarter and 12.74% on the last quarter. Next slide, please.
I'm going to be talking about debt management and talk about the. We reached 97.6%, the biggest performance since the last quarter or two, 2017. And we had the acquisition of Acre and Rondônia, even when the scenario with the indebtedness of the Brazilian family. In the quarter, highlight that indicator, it is talking about the indebtedness of the customers. And on this segment, on the energy with the customers, we closed the quarter with BRL 84.7 million. The second quarter, likewise with losses, although it's still superior to the third quarter of 2023. In this way, we close the highlights referring to the quarter. And now we're going to be starting the slide of the public meeting.
On Energisa Day last year, we shared with you guys the strategic lines that we have for the group Energisa, showing our history, success history, and intentions of investments and challenges of the group, as we show here on the slide. On energy distribution, the renewal, the concessions, and investments to make this demands on quality, and they show like a challenge for 2024. Talking about the energy transmission, we bought new lots on auctions via auctions with these assets, and they were within our planning, without counting the concessions on the lines that are still in construction. On Energisa, we predicted the development on the projects of distributed energy on an organic and inorganic way, besides the challenges on the opening of the market.
On the natural gas segment, the performance of the development of the ES Gás and Infrag ás, and just the acquired company and possible operations on the acquisition on the sector. We had the beginning of our new biomethane power plant. In 2024, we could show once more our disciplined allocation to capital, showing fulfilling our commitments in 2023. Talking about the distribution of energy, we are still in a public consultation to analyze the contract that talks about the extension of the concessions, whose main prerogative is providing the service in an adequate way for 19 companies in Brazil with contracts that are to expire 2021 for or with Group Energisa. We represent around 60% of our EBITDA. Talking about 2023, anticipating these discussions, Energisa recommends that it’s structured in a way to show efficiency and maintenance of the quality of our concessions.
The equation didn't impact only our PMSO, as we talked previously, but also elevated the volume of CapEx dedicated on reaching the goals and maintenance of the quality of the distributors. We believe that the process will keep being conducted, well conducted, with good communication with the regulatory organs and community, having a background safety. And the consumer, the guest, our customer, is the main area of our decisions. Talking about investments, historically, we made investments way above on the depreciation, which reflects in our robust profit, total 22.4 billion BRL in September. And with this, the system EBITDA was mainly superior to the regulatory EBITDA. We should highlight that the regulatory EBITDA in 2023 is positively being impacted by financials that had 161 million BRL. Taking this fact off, the variation would be of 70% to 25% compared to 2024.
I would like to highlight the companies acquired in 2018, Energisa Acre and Energisa Rondônia, that after an intense process of turnaround, they can already overcome with a good margin the regulatory EBITDA. As a result of the good allocation of capital and efficient execution, just two teams are slightly below the goal of groups within the regulatory limit indicator of 2024. Talking about that, there's a great margin to the limit. We are showing up, directing our resources to close the year with all our distributors within the scheduled goal for 2024, totaling the groups within the limit of DEC and FEC. Talking about energy transmission, the year 2024 was another period highlighted with the prudence of capital allocation and financial discipline on our auctions. On the first auction, the auction that we had, we had a lot of lots and relevant bids.
We got the lot 12 located in Maranhão and Piauí. The area has 395 km of extension and aggregated BRL 112.5 million at capex. Totaling BRL 963 million of consolidated RAP for the group and 13 assets in portfolio. The estimated capex from ANEEL was BRL 933 million. The deadline of the regulated to enter in the operation is June 2030. We have an average of anticipation of like 15 months on our transmission projects. We're dedicating our efforts to give up before the deadline. In September, on the auction of September, we opted not to participate because the opportunities wouldn't aggregate for us a good profit or portfolio. Moving now to the distributed generation. In 2023, we announced that our strategy was to grow on a scaled basis, including also some single M&As.
For the year 2024, we concluded the acquisition of 26 MW peak and installed more 58 MW p. We closed the quarter with 414 MW peak, adding up 421 MWp to the current date. This capacity is equivalent to the emission avoided of almost 85,000 tons of CO2 each year. Adding this up, we improved our capability for nine states, aggregating Ceará, Pernambuco, Piauí, Maranhão to our Energisa map. Talking about our newest NPS survey, our loyalty rate to the customers improved 14 percentage points compared to the last quarter. This reflects our demand with the customer.
Talking about the business and the gas distributions, as Ricardo talked in the beginning of the presentation, we announced this Wednesday the conclusion on the acquisition of 51% of Norgás, a holding that has the social participations and natural gas distributions located in some states in the Northeast area. Talking about Cegás, Sergas, the value, the amount of the, as we told on November 6, it already excludes Norgás on this situation, and with all the terms that we have in this to make it work with the payments on this participation and the installments, and one December and one the beginning of January, and concluding the transaction, Group Energisa announces as well the arrival of Débora Olivieri, as the Business and Gas Director President. That's going to be in charge of the maintenance of investments on natural gas segment, biogas, biomethane, and biofertilizers.
Débora has a recognized trajectory on the segment and will fill up the team from this new business unit. This conclusion on this acquisition, widening up the presence of Energisa Group on the natural gas distribution segment with a strategy of diversifying our portfolio and acknowledgment as a company, a complete solutions company with energy showing up to the fuels with less emission. And with the 2024 years, we highlighted some regulatory highlights on this year with gas and with our new growth avenue. The interest of our public agents and the performance development of this segment on the projects that we mentioned, and we are focused on making the gas, the transition fuel, energy fuel, its goals, it meets up the goals, the strategic goals that we showed up in 2023. We highlight that on the next slide, the success.
Example on the public policy that we have with the Espírito Santo that is showing up to implement on the next few years. ES Gás, mainly with other two entities, public entities and private entities of the state. They participated on the elaboration of the program, ES+, ES Mais initiative from the development secretary of Espírito Santo. They have between their goals, a dynamic hub of natural gas and biomethane, and to impel the competitiveness of the state on the scenario of national and international business, promoting economic development in a sustainable way and stimulating the green economy. The program is part of the public policies of the state, and it aims to offer more safety and comfortability on the supply of energy, besides more competitive for the consumers, and to promote the decarbonization of the energy matrix of the state.
For this, it proposes the elevation of the main consumption of natural gas from the actual 2.3 million to 2.8 million cubic meters in 2026, and from 7 to 15 million cubic meters in 2024. Another important advance possibility by ES+ is the production, the pioneer production of biomethane in the state of Espírito Santo. The expectation is that this production reaches daily about 50,000 cubic meters in 2026 and 300,000 cubic meters in 2034. With more than like one year of the Energisa group of ES+, we could deliver some important highlights for the distributor with some synergies and the beginning of our modus operandi of Group Energisa, showing success on the distribution of energy. The transaction activities were already absorbed by our service center. We made the migration of the main systems, and we have our marketing expertise and sales to accelerate the expansion of the segment.
We just got Norgás to complete our goal step on the evolution of business on gas and group energies. We have four new states at our portfolio and believe that we have a lot of opportunities of growth on the Northeast area. Energisa decided to keep the management of these companies, and because of this, it's going to be keeping the current executives in charge of those areas. On next slide, since October this year, Group Energisa is even more complete with biosolutions, and we have a mission to offer targeted solutions to the decarbonization energy transition. We have three business lines: the industrial residue treatment, biofertilizers, commercialization, and the production and sales of biomethane. Being this last one our biggest focus. In aggregate with the first project, we already offer treatments of the organic residues and fertilizers.
The production of biomethane is, we expect, to start on the second semester of 2025, and it's going to be definitive entrance of Energisa in the sector. With a business model that works with collecting and treating the residues, we are at an advanced stage, and we have an estimated production of 25,000 cubic meters a day. And with aggregate, we are going to be helping to decarbonize around 60,000 tons of CO2 a year. With this, 39,000 tons of redirecting residues that will be going to 20 tons of CO2, substituting the GLP for biomethane in industrial systems. Here we talk about the goals that we have in 2023 and the strategy since 2024. 40% of 2025. When moving on, we still have a lot of challenges in all segments.
Energy distribution, we estimate to conclude on the first semester, the renewal of the concessions and with the signing of some additives, as we have on our schedule that we showed up on the file. We believe the process will soon be well conducted with good interlocution with the community, having a background, law, safety, and the consumer center of the decisions. In parallel, we keep investing in a prudent way and well directed to guarantee excellence, reduction of losses, and endowment. With all of this, allocating capital in a safe way and efficient way. In energy transmission, we have challenges with the interest rates on the variations of the auctions that we have, and we're going to be analyzing opportunities with really cautious way in M&As, which may bring an upside for our portfolio. Always with discipline.
With Energisa, on distributed segments, we stay with the goal to attain 500 MW p, always with the customer at the center of our solutions and creating assets for the operation. We had a lot of opportunities, and we're getting ready for the more that are going to be showing up. By the acquisition of Clarke at the beginning of 2024 was another step in the direction of offering options to our customer that wishes to migrate to the free market in the gas business. In 2025, we had a great milestone, great highlight with Infragás. That will be the first revision of the concession. We are already working with the local regulator on the discussion of methodology, on the tariff review, and investments for the next cycle. With Norgás, we are in the first stages about conclusion of the acquisition.
We already have any shift plans lined up for the first months on the incoming partners for the plan of expansion on these distributors. We are sure that it's going to be a really successful journey, and we plan to support our experience on operating on these assets and demand. And about through BioSolutions, we conclude the construction of AgriQ, and we're going to be paying attention to any other opportunities that may aggregate to our portfolio. And on this challenging environment, since like 120 years, instigates us on thinking how to make differently and not lose the efforts, the will, all these conquests. I would like to thank everyone and start with the Q&A. Operator, please.
Thank you. Now we're going to be starting with the Q&A.
We kindly ask that you make them all at once, waiting for the reply from the company. Remembering that to make questions, we guide you that you send them via the Q&A located at the bottom area of your screen.

Please wait while we collect some questions. Vamos à nossa primeira pergunta. We are going to our first question. It comes from Daniel Travitzky, Sell-side Analyst from Safra. Daniel, we're going to be opening our audio so that you can ask your question live. Daniel, please go ahead.
Thank you for the opportunity.
I would like to ask you guys to comment a little bit more about the dynamics of costs on the distributor looking 2025 and thinking about the signing of the renewal of the concession contracts with the distributors, what we can expect if it's going to be a little bit higher with the contracts and everything, or if it's going to really be a little bit higher moving forward. Just for us to understand how you guys see this, and if you guys could give us a little bit of information about this, regarding this. Thank you.
Afternoon. De fato, como a gente falou aqui ao longo da apresentação, after during the biggest great adjustment in 2023. Just looking because of this, talking about the needs of new quality patterns that we already announced a long time ago.
A great part, a lot of the adjustments were already done, and we just need to keep in line with inflation.
Okay, thank you.
Lembrando que para fazer perguntas, that if you want to make some questions, send them via the Q&A icon located at the bottom area of your screen. By dynamics, your names will then be announced so that you can ask your question live. Please wait while we collect some questions. Vamos à nossa próxima pergunta. Let's go to our next question. It comes from Guilherme Lima, Santander Analyst from Santander. Guilherme, we're going to be opening your audio so that you can ask your question. Guilherme, please go ahead.
Bom dia, pessoal. Good morning, everyone. Thank you for your question. Just talking about only about costs. Can we talk about the recurring PMSO on the fourth quarter of 2024?
It makes sense for us to imagine any impact on leveling everything to reach the leveling of Mato Grosso do Sul and Tocantins on the regulatory debt with the inflation and everything. In all regards, we believe it's going to be like, it's already being drawn on the results. Talking about debt and fact. I'm talking about debt, sorry. And we can talk about the leveling of the company and the macro dynamics with the expectation of biggest rates, if it could impact our strategy of growth.
Okay, talking about the PMSO, we're about to answer Daniel. The teams, the structure is already done. We keep just following this flow and talking about the fourth quarter, and they're going to be having the effect of the PLR. And we had a provision of the whole quarter, and now it's going to be ongoing in a further way. The team's already set.
We have the expectation. We don't have any expectation of rate differences. So it's like a curve. The goal is 2026. Talking about the leveling, you're right, our perspective, the previous perspective on the last year. We have a loss on the rates, and it looks like it's not going to be showing up, not going to be happening. So it brings a little bit of pressure on the indicator. As we can check, we had a variation of 0.1 times on the second quarter to the third quarter. So it's a tendency to have an increase. Talking about the payments on the acquisition of the Norgás, the acquisition of Norgás. And this affects a little bit, like BRL 900 million, more or less, which affects on our cash.
Perfeito, obrigado, Maria. Thank you, thank you, perfect.
Lembrando that to make some questions, we advise you that send them via the Q&A icon located at the bottom area of your screen. And then by dynamics, your names will then be announced so that you can ask your question live. Please wait while we collect the questions. Vamos à nossa próxima pergunta. Let's go to our next question. It comes from Carolina Carneiro, Safra analyst from Banco Safra. Carolina, we're going to be opening your audio so that you can ask your question live.
Eu vou ler aqui a pergunta da Carolina. I'm going to be reading her question. Can you guys please comment about the loss dynamic and the PDD on this quarter and combat actions?
I'm going to be sending this up to Gioreli. And Vladimir asked something similar. So Gioreli, please, can you please answer for us?
Okay. Good afternoon, Gabriel. Good afternoon, Vladimir.
Talking about the losses, we already anticipated that it's in a seasonal way. It's in a positive way for us, and it's really good. We really had some good impacts on the weather and technical losses, and it's natural to impact on technical way. This shows analyzing this, we have a good trajectory. Talking related about our combat actions, we have the traditional doing the inspections, doing intelligence models to check the lists and everything. We have wound up this, getting the answers, trying to get the answer with the second question as well. We'll be using measurement systems, centralized ways with Mato Grosso and Rondônia as well, where the losses are a little bit more like rebel. We are seeing some good results. We have a good perspective about the evolution of the losses on these two companies.
Talking about PDD, we had our PDD since 2017. It was the biggest, greatest amount that we had, the results. This number is starting to impact in a positive way with PCLD. If we keep checking this with the year, we had the elevation, but the tendency was positive as well for us. Even with the pressure of the results, with the increase of the bills and everything, the plans that we have, they are working. They are having a positive repercussion on the indicators that reflect on these results, on external factors with the waves and consequently the impacting the amount of the bills, the values.
Lembrando that to make some questions, we advise that send them via the Q&A icon located at the bottom area of your screen.
And then by dynamics, your names will then be announced so that you can ask your question live. Marcelo, we're going to be reading your question. Can you please tell us a little bit more of the InfraGás's acquisition when the cash flow starts and we have the results? It's going to be with equity when it comes. Thank you.
We already made the payments. We have to wait for the process with the state to receive it, and it's going to be starting by the end of December. It was BRL 109 million, more or less. The second installment is going to be on the beginning of January, like first or second week, another BRL 121 million. Obviously, when the equity income is going to be starting in November.
Remember that to make some questions, we advise that you send them via the Q&A icon located at the bottom area of your screen. And then by dynamics, your names will then be announced so that you can ask your question live. Wait a couple of moments while we collect questions. Our next question comes from Gabriel Francisco, Buy-side Analyst.
We're going to be opening your audio so that you can ask your question live. Gabriel, please go ahead.
Oi, obrigado por te chamar. Thank you. Por escrito, mas não tem problema, eu leio aqui. No problem. I can read the question. I would like to understand, Maurício, guys, about on the last quarters, you had a dynamic on the Parcel A with MWh. Really strong, even bigger what the regulatory levels expect. I didn't have time to make a full analyzing of this on the distributors. On this quarter, it looks like this dynamics had a reversion. We have the biggest increase, the floats, and having a complicated comparison rates because of the heat waves last year. Our gross margins, it was flat. It looks like the megawatts had a big loss. Not only IGPM to talk about this.
Can you please talk a little bit and explain to us? I'm going to be giving the word to Fernando Maia to talk about this.
Good morning, Gabriel. You already mentioned on the first and second quarters, we had a fairly talking about 2023, we had a big difference and express great difference from these two times. Talking about the second quarter, we had the tax tariff readjustments talking about with IGPM, Mato Grosso do Sul, and all of this. It gave us negative results. It makes us, it makes we feel this strongly on the third quarter. This is one of the reasons. Talking about the average consumption for the customer, no, we didn't sense, we didn't notice any losses with this. The consumption on the third quarter was still strong, even comparing with 2023 and the fourth quarter.
We believe it's going to be a little bit more aligned because in 2023, we had a ramp that started in September. So we don't see anything abnormal in this relation.
Thank you, thank you for that.
Without further questions, we close here our Q&A session. We give the word to Ricardo Botelho for his final statements.
With this, we conclude our public session and results for the third quarter. We appreciate everyone for your attention, and we are going to be waiting for you guys for the next quarter. Thank you, everyone, and have a good afternoon. Good afternoon,
and we close here the public meeting and investor relations call with our third quarter of Energisa. The IR group is available to help you guys with any further questions. Thank you, everyone, and have a good afternoon.
