FOREWORD

The Interim Financial Report at March 31, 2024 has been prepared in compliance with Article 154-ter, paragraph 5, of Legislative Decree 58 of February 24, 1998, with the clarification indicated in the following section, and in conformity with the recognition and measurement criteria set out in the international accounting standards (International Accounting Standards - IAS and International Financial Reporting Standards - IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as well as the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) and the Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC), recognized in the European Union pursuant to Regulation (EC) no. 1606/2002 and in effect as of the close of the period.

Article 154-ter, paragraph 5, of the Consolidated Financial Intermediation Act, as amended by Legislative Decree 25/2016, no longer requires issuers to publish an interim financial report at the close of the 1st and 3rd Quarters of the year. The new rules give CONSOB the power to issue a regulation requiring issuers, following an impact analysis, to publish periodic financial information in addition to the annual and semi-annual financial reports. In view of the foregoing, Enel intends to continue voluntarily publishing an interim financial report at the close of the 1st and 3rd Quarters of each year in order to satisfy investor expectations and conform to consolidated best practice in the main financial markets, while also taking due account of the quarterly reporting requirements of a number of major listed subsidiaries.

The Enel Group structure is organized into a matrix that comprises:

Global Business Lines

Global Business Lines, which are responsible for managing and developing assets, optimizing their performance and the return on capital employed in the various geographical areas in which the Group operates. In compliance with safety, protection and environmental policies and regulations, they are tasked with maximizing the efficiency of the processes they manage and applying best international practices, sharing responsibility for EBITDA, cash flows and revenue with the countries. The Group, which also draws on the work of an Investment Committee,(1) benefits from a centralized industrial vision of projects in the various business lines. Each project is assessed not only on the basis of its financial return but also in relation to the best technologies available at the Group level. Furthermore, each business line contributes to guiding Enel's leadership in the energy transition and in the fight against climate change, managing the associated risks and opportunities in its area of competence.

The following provides a brief summary of the primary objectives of each Global Business Line:

  • Enel Grids and Innovability: ensures the reliability and quality of electricity supply services through efficient, resilient and digital grids; promotes, harmonizes and coordinates innovation and sustainability processes, supporting activities in the Global Business Lines and the Countries.
  • Global Energy and Commodity Management and Chief Pricing Officer: optimizes the Group's margin through the active management of its hedging strategy and exposure to commodity risk, taking account of all commercial/market factors in order to maximize the integrated margin in the markets in which we operate through the optimization of gas and fuel provisioning, and local dispatching of thermal and renewable generation, while supporting Enel X Global Retail in defining the commercial strategy.
  • Enel Green Power and Thermal Generation: provides guidance for a rapid and effective energy transition, growing the portfolio of renewable generation facilities, and manages the corresponding evolution of thermal generation and storage assets with a view to decarbonizing our energy mix in order to meet the needs of customers in all the countries in which we operate.

fight against climate change.

REFERENCE SCENARIO

The macroeconomic environment

In the 1st Quarter of 2024, despite restrictive financial conditions and geopolitical tensions in the Red Sea, which have increased shipping costs and lengthened delivery times, the macroeconomic environment continued to enjoy moderate global growth, sustained by a steeper than expected decline in inflation. However, some of the factors that contributed to the disinflation process over the past year, such as improvements in supply chains and falling commodity prices, have begun to dissipate, causing the pace of the price deceleration to slow. Given these factors, market consensus expects a global GDP growth rate of around 2.4% on an annualized basis in the 1st Quarter.

The United States continued its strong economic recovery in the first three months of the year, with GDP expected to increase by an annualized 2.0%, supported by the resilience of the labor market and the continued expansionary stance of fiscal policy. Moreover, sound household finances supported the recovery in private consumption after a negative start to the year. However, inflation was stronger than expected this quarter, rising by an estimated 3.2% on an annualized basis. Nevertheless, the rebalancing of labor supply and demand has exerted downward pressure on nominal wage growth, thus reducing inflationary pressures in the services sector.

After near-zero growth in the second half of last year, the euro-area economy recorded a weak recovery in the first three months of 2024, with GDP estimated to have increased by an annualized 0.2%. Specifically, the slow recovery of economic activity has reflected the still restrictive stance of monetary policy, the erosion of consumer purchasing power, weak foreign demand and an industrial sector still struggling to get restarted. However, the latest data show that industrial sector confidence is improving, suggesting a more optimistic outlook for the rest of the year. The disinflation process in the euro-area continued its slow progression, with inflation estimated to have declined to 2.6% on an annualized basis in the 1st Quarter of the year. It is encouraging, however, that the impact of the Red Sea turbulence on prices in the euro-area remains limited. On the monetary policy front, the March meeting of the European Central Bank did not provide a specific indication of the timing and extent of any reduction in official interest rates, postponing any such decision to the upcoming meetings in April or June, with any modifications to be based on developments in the most persistent inflation categories and nominal wages.

The economies of Latin America recorded faster-than-expected growth in the 1st Quarter of the year, accompanied by less rapid disinflation compared with the previous three months. The increase in seasonal prices at the beginning of the year and wage adjustments contributed to increasing inflationary pressures in the services sector, prompting central banks to be more cautious in the pace of reduction of key interest rates.

In Brazil, economic activity in the early months of the year was stronger than expected, with an estimated annualized GDP growth rate of 1.7%. However, this represented a sharp deceleration compared with the 1st Quarter of 2023, when the figure was 3.8% on an annualized basis, driven by the extraordinary performance of the agricultural sector. On the inflation front, the average expected inflation rate in the 1st Quarter was an annualized 4.3%, a decrease compared with the dynamics seen the previous year.

In Chile, the economy is expected to have grown at an average rate of 1.7% on an annualized basis in the 1st Quarter of 2024, a sharp recovery from the contraction of 0.8% registered in the same period in 2023. This reflected the strong acceleration of economic activity at the beginning of the year driven by the mining and services sectors. The slowdown in inflation has been faster than in other South American economies, although core inflation has been under upward pressure. The inflation rate is expected to come in at 3.6% on an annualized basis in the 1st Quarter of 2024.

In Colombia, the real economy is expected to contract by an annualized 0.4% in the first three months of the year, reflecting the marked contraction in investment and the continuing high level of inflation, which have penalized private consumption and savings. Although disinflation has been slower than in other Latin American countries, in the 1st Quarter of 2024 the normalization of prices continued at a more rapid pace, with inflation at 7.8% on an annualized basis, compared with the 10.0% recorded in the previous three months.

In Argentina, the economy is expected to have contracted by an annualized 3.8% in the 1st Quarter of the year due to the austerity measures implemented by the government and to hyperinflation, which have eroded the purchasing

power of households and firms. Although the most recent data has shown signs of a deceleration in the early months of 2024, inflation remains at its highest level since 1990 and is expected to reach 277.4% on an annualized basis in the 1st Quarter of the year, compared with 172.0% in the previous period.

Energy conditions

The commodity market

In the 1st Quarter of 2024, the energy commodity markets confirmed the downward tendency observed in 2023, although the dynamics of the decline varied depending on the commodity. These developments can be attributed to weak demand, only partially offset by supply shocks, including those of a geopolitical nature.

Compared with the 1st Quarter of last year, the TTF price decreased by 49.3% to below €30/MWh. The causes of the decline are to be found in the high level of stocks, reflecting a generalized contraction in demand that has struggled to return to pre-crisis levels.

Tracking the developments in gas prices, the benchmark price for coal also has fallen steeply, albeit by somewhat less (API2 has fallen by 28.9%). The decline in demand for coal, which has become less attractive than gas, is driving the downward slide, although a reversal of the trend was registered in March, mainly due to the sanctions imposed by the United States on certain Russian producers.

On the other hand, oil prices are stable (the Brent price has slipped by 0.5% compared with the same period of the previous year), a strong recovery compared with the dynamics recorded in the 4th Quarter of 2023. This has reflected geopolitical factors linked to the tensions in Middle East, which have increased supply risks. Further supporting prices was the confirmation of production cuts by OPEC+.

The price of CO2 fell sharply compared with the 1st Quarter of 2023 (-30.5%), due to low industrial demand and low gas prices. This trend encouraged speculators to establish short positions, which pushed the price down further.

During the first three months of 2024, base metal prices remained stable on average compared with 2023, although an increase was registered in the last few weeks of the year. Prices were boosted by the expectation of an acceleration in economic activity and a recovery in demand following the interest rate cuts expected this year in Europe and the United States. Of note in recent weeks is the performance of copper, which is benefiting from expectations of rising demand and strained fundamentals over the course of the year.

In the first three months of 2024, electricity demand in Italy increased slightly compared with the same period of 2023 (+0.9%), reflecting a gradual increase in industrial consumption. Electricity demand edged downwards in Spain (-0.2%) as macroeconomic conditions remained weak. In Latin America, electricity demand is growing in all the countries in which the Group operates, especially in Brazil (+12.9%) and Colombia (+8.4%).

The decrease in gas and coal prices, together with strong renewables generation, led to a contraction in electricity prices compared with 2023. In particular, prices in Italy have decreased by an average of 41.6%, a decline consistent with developments in the prices of commodities relevant for generation and the recovery in renewables generation. In Spain, the contraction was more than 50%, thanks to the abundant availability of renewables, which pushed prices below €10/MWh on certain days during the quarter.

Demand for natural gas in Italy in the first three months of 2024 came to 19.8 billion cubic meters, down 2.9% on 2023. At the sectoral level, sharp decreases were recorded in demand for thermal generation and heating, while industrial consumption remained unchanged.

In Spain, consumption decreased more sharply, falling by 11.4%. The main declines were registered in residential demand and that for power generation, while industrial demand recovered slightly.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS IN THE 1ST QUARTER OF 2024

Agreement finalized to sell a geothermal and solar portfolio in the United States to Ormat

On January 4, 2024, Enel SpA, acting through its wholly-owned subsidiary Enel Green Power North America Inc. (EGPNA), closed an agreement with Ormat Technologies Inc. on the sale of a renewable asset portfolio in the United States for a total of €253 million, including a positive post-closing price adjustment. The assets sold include EGPNA's entire geothermal portfolio as well as a number of small solar plants, with a total capacity of about 150 MW. The overall transaction, which was closed following the fulfillment of a number of conditions, had a negative overall impact of €26 million following impairment adjustments for IFRS 5 purposes.

Enel issues a dual-tranche €1.75 billion sustainability-linked bond in the Eurobond market

On January 16, 2024, Enel Finance International NV, a finance company controlled by Enel SpA, issued a dual-tranche sustainability-linked bond for institutional investors in the Eurobond market in the total amount of €1.75 billion.

The new issue envisages the use of two sustainability Key Performance Indicators for each tranche, illustrated in the Sustainability-Linked Financing Framework, last updated in January 2024.

The issue is structured in the following two tranches:

  • €750 million at a fixed rate of 3.375%, with settlement date set at January 23, 2024, maturing July 23, 2028;
  • €1,000 million at a fixed rate of 3.875%, with settlement date set at January 23, 2024, maturing January 23, 2035.

Enel issues a new €900 million perpetual hybrid bond with coupon at 4.75%

On February 20, 2024, Enel SpA issued a non-convertible, subordinated perpetual hybrid bond for institutional investors on the European market, denominated in euros, with an aggregate principal amount of €900 million. The transaction refinanced the €900 million equity-accounted perpetual hybrid bond with first call date in February 2025 and a 3.5% coupon. The bond has no fixed maturity, and is due and payable only in the event of the winding up or liquidation of the Company. An annual fixed coupon of 4.75% will be paid until (but excluding) the first reset date of May 27, 2029, which is the last day for the first optional redemption.

Partnership with Sosteneo to develop battery and opencycle plant projects in Italy

On March 1, 2024, Enel SpA, acting through its subsidiary Enel Italia SpA, signed an agreement with Sosteneo Fund 1 HoldCo Sàrl, for the acquisition by the latter of 49% of the share capital of Enel Libra Flexsys Srl, a company wholly-owned by Enel Italia and established for the implementation and operation of a portfolio of battery energy storage systems (BESS) and open-cycle gas turbines (OCGT). The agreement provides for payment by Sosteneo HoldCo of approximately €1.1 billion for the purchase of 49% of Enel Libra Flexsys. The price is also subject to an adjustment mechanism customary for this type of transaction. The enterprise value on a 100% basis of Enel Libra Flexsys recognized in the agreement is equal to around €2.5 billion once the investment cycle foreseen by the project is completed. Upon closing, the transaction is expected to generate a positive impact of about €1.1 billion on the Enel Group's consolidated net debt, while it will have no impact on the Group's performance, as Enel will continue to maintain control and fully consolidate Enel Libra Flexsys upon the closing of the transaction.

Agreement with A2A on electricity distribution operations in a number of municipalities in Lombardy

On March 9, 2024, the Enel subsidiary e-distribuzione SpA signed an agreement with A2A SpA for the sale to the latter of 90% of the capital of a newly incorporated vehicle to which electricity distribution operations in a number of municipalities of the provinces of Milan and Brescia will be transferred.

The agreement provides for A2A to pay about €1.2 billion, based on an enterprise value (for 100% of the company) of around €1.35 billion. The price, which will be paid at closing, is subject to an adjustment mechanism customary for these kinds of transactions.

Upon completion of the transaction, e-distribuzione will retain a 10% stake in NewCo's capital to support the startup phase of the company, and which will be subject to a put and call option mechanism that can be triggered starting from the first year from completion of the transaction. Furthermore, specific agreements between the parties provide for e-distribuzione to guarantee supporting activities to ensure continuity of service.

The transaction is expected to generate a positive effect on the Enel Group's consolidated net debt in 2024 of about €1.2 billion and a positive impact on the Group's reported profit for 2024 of about €1 billion.

If, before the closing of the transaction, a precise specification of further activities that e-distribuzione may carry out for NewCo is reached and such activities are reflected in specific agreements, thereby forming an industrial Stewardship relationship, the aforementioned performance effects could also be recognized on the Group's ordinary results.

The closing of the transaction, which is expected to occur by December 31, 2024, is subject to a number of conditions, including receipt of antitrust clearance, the successful completion of the golden power procedure by the Presidency of Italy's Council of Ministers and receipt of authorization to transfer the electricity distribution service concessions to NewCo.

(4) Of which 29.3 million second-generation smart meters in the 1st Quarter of 2024 and 26.0 million in the 1st Quarter of 2023. The overall decrease reflects the sale of assets held in Romania (1.3 million smart meters at March 31, 2023).

(5) If the figures also included charging points operated through joint ventures, they would amount to 26,188 at March 31, 2024 and 25,337 at December 31, 2023.

Net electricity generated by Enel in the 1st Quarter of 2024 decreased by 5.11 TWh compared with the same period in 2023 (-9.5%), attributable to lower generation from traditional sources (-7.86 TWh), mainly in Italy where the decrease in generation was primarily associated with coal-fired output (-4.50 TWh).

Generation from renewable sources increased by 2.75 TWh compared with the same period of 2023, notably hydroelectric power (+2.79 TWh), mainly in Italy, Spain and Chile, and solar output (+0.68 TWh), above all in the United States, Spain and Chile, offsetting a decrease in generation from other renewable sources.

NET ELECTRICITY GENERATION BY SOURCE (1ST QUARTER OF 2024)

The Group's total net efficient installed capacity came to 81.3 GW, essentially in line with the figure at the end of 2023 (81.4 GW).

NET EFFICIENT INSTALLED CAPACITY BY SOURCE (AT MARCH 31, 2024)

At the end of March 2024, the Group's net efficient installed renewables capacity reached 55.8 GW, equal to 68.6% of total net efficient installed capacity.

Electricity transported on Enel's distribution grid in the 1st Quarter of 2024 came to 120.2 TWh, down 2.0 TWh (-1.6%) compared with the same period of 2023, mainly reflecting the deconsolidation of Romania (-3.8 TWh). This effect was partly offset by an increase in volumes transported in Brazil (+1.3 TWh) and Italy (+0.5 TWh).

Electricity sold by Enel in the 1st Quarter of 2024 amounted to 72.9 TWh, a decrease of 5.3 TWh (-6.8%) compared with the year-earlier period.

Quantities sold decreased in Italy (-3.6 TWh), Spain (-0.5 TWh) and Romania (-2.3 TWh), with the latter reflecting its deconsolidation, partly offset by an increase in volumes sold in Latin America (+1.1 TWh).

Gas sold by Enel in the 1st Quarter of 2024 amounted to 2.9 billion cubic meters, down 0.7 billion cubic meters on the same period of 2023.

Enel public charging points increased by 763 in the 1st Quarter of 2024, with the new sites primarily located in Italy, Spain and Latin America.

The Enel Group workforce at March 31, 2024 numbered 60,905, of whom about 48% were employed in companies outside of Italy. The decrease of 150 reflects the negative balance between new hires and terminations.

Total 19,432 26,414 (6,982) -26.4%

In the 1st Quarter of 2024, revenue decreased by €6,982 million (-26.4%), reflecting both a decrease in quantities generated (mainly thermal generation) and sold on wholesale and retail markets, and the decrease in average sale prices of commodities compared with the previous period, which also impacted the effect of contracts with physical settlement.

The decrease in revenue also reflects the impact of the concession termination indemnity received in the 1st Quarter of 2023 by Enel CIEN (€99 million).

These impacts are partly offset by the increase in revenue from renewables, reflecting the increase in quantities generated, in particular by hydroelectric plants in Italy, Spain and Chile.

As with revenue, costs in the 1st Quarter of 2024 also decreased significantly, mainly due to the decrease in commodity prices and the reduction in volumes.

tion and the generalized decrease in the prices of environmental certificates.

Charges for environmental certificates decreased by €492 million as a result of the decline in conventional generaMoreover, in the 1st Quarter of 2023 charges of €154 million had been recognized in connection with the sale of Enel Generación Costanera in Argentina.

Net results from commodity contracts

Net results from commodity contracts entered into primarily for hedging purposes in the 1st Quarter of 2024 posted an increase of €233 million, due mainly to fluctuations in market prices.

(1) The figures for the 1st Quarter of 2023 for the End-user Markets Business Line have been adjusted to take account of the values for Enel X and Enel X Way. The latter had previously been reported under Holding, Services and Other.

Ordinary gross operating profit increased by €631 million on the same period of 2023. In particular, the Integrated Businesses of Global Power Generation, Trading and Global Retail posted an overall increase of €776 million. The increase in renewable generation, the optimization of provisioning costs, the decline in the impact of measures to limit the extra profits of renewable generation companies (clawback measures, for a total of €97 million in the 1st Quarter of 2023 in Italy) and an increase in the operating profit achieved by End-user Markets, especially in Italy and Spain on the free electricity market, more than offset the decrease in margins on thermal generation.

In particular, the increase in the ordinary gross operating profit of Enel Green Power is attributable to higher generated volumes in Italy, Spain and Chile, primarily from hydroelectric plants.

These effects were partly offset by the decrease in the volume of conventional generation at decreasing average prices, especially in Italy and Spain, and by the change in the consolidation scope following the sale of the Group's assets in Romania and Greece in the 4th Quarter of 2023 (these assets had contributed €115 million to the integrated margin in the 1st Quarter of 2023).

Ordinary gross operating profit from distribution operations decreased by €151 million compared with the 1st Quarter of 2023. The decline is attributable to the change in the consolidation scope associated with the sale of the distribution activities in Romania and the concession termination indemnity received by Enel CIEN in the 1st Quarter of 2023. Net of these items, distribution operations would have seen ordinary gross operating profit increase by €163 million, mainly due to rate adjustments recorded in Latin America, Italy and Spain.

Gross operating profit/(loss)

Gross operating profit amounted to €5,892 million (€4,765 million in the 1st Quarter of 2023). This change essentially reflects the effects mentioned in relation to ordinary gross operating profit, excluding the effects attributable to discontinued operations for 2023 only (€336 million).

Note that the gross operating profit for the 1st Quarter of 2023 included the impact of charges associated with the sale of Enel Generación Costanera (a total of €154 million).

Group ordinary profit for the first three months of 2024 amounted to €2,180 million, compared with €1,512 million in the same period of the previous year. As already noted for ordinary operating profit, the increase of €668 million reflected the improvement in finance operations, including the net positive effects of hyperinflation in Argentina, and the reduced incidence of non-controlling interests, the latter attributable to the improvement in performance achieved above all in Italy.

These positive factors were only partially offset by the increase in taxes attributable to the increase in taxable income achieved in the 1st Quarter of 2024.

Net capital employed at March 31, 2024 came to €108,881 million and was funded by shareholders' equity attributable to owners of the Parent and non-controlling interests in the amount of €48,185 million and net financial debt of €60,696 million. At March 31, 2024 the debt/equity ratio was 1.26 (1.33 at December 31, 2023). The increase in net capital employed mainly reflected an increase in net non-current assets (primarily as a result of capital expenditure in the period) and net working capital, mainly related to the payment of interim dividends and the reduction in trade receivables and payables as a result of the decrease in commodity prices.

Total equity at March 31, 2024 increased by €3,076 million, primarily due to comprehensive income for the period of €2,274 million (of which €2,244 million recognized through profit or loss and €30 million in equity) and the issue of new subordinated non-convertible perpetual hybrid bonds, net of instruments redeemed (with a total net impact of €593 million).

(1) The figures for the 1st Quarter of 2023 for the End-user Markets Business Line have been adjusted to take account of the values for Enel X and Enel X Way. The latter had previously been reported under Holding, Services and Other.

(2) The figure for the 1st Quarter of 2024 does not include €103 million regarding units classified as held for sale (€145 million in 2023).

Capital expenditure amounted to €2,587 million in the first three months of 2024, a decrease on the 1st Quarter of 2023.

The Group's capital expenditure is focused above all in grids (€1,319 million, 51% of the total) and renewable energy (€907 million, 35% of the total), in line with the Group's Strategic Plan.

More specifically, the change with regard to renewable energy mainly concerned activities in North America (€98 million), Chile (€39 million) and Brazil (€25 million), and was more than offset by the decrease in expenditure in Italy (€488 million), mainly in battery energy storage systems (BESS), considering the completion in 2023 of development activities begun earlier.

In addition, capital expenditure in distribution activities is increasing (€120 million), with a view to ensuring greater resilience for grids in responding to increasingly variable external climate events, thereby guaranteeing the reliability and quality of distribution services. More specifically, capital expenditure in distribution grids is increasing in Italy, Chile, Colombia, Spain and Argentina.

Capital expenditure in the End-user Markets Business Line increased by €9 million, with the rise concerning the mobility business in Italy and the retail business in Italy and Spain.

Capital expenditure by the Thermal Generation and Trading segment decreased by €26 million, especially in Italy and Latin America.

PERFORMANCE BY PRIMARY SEGMENT (BUSINESS LINE) AND SECONDARY SEGMENT (GEOGRAPHICAL AREA)

The representation of performance by business line presented here is based on the approach used by management in monitoring Group performance for the two periods under review, taking account of the operational model adopted as described above.

With regard to disclosures for operating segments, as management reports on performance by business line, the Group has therefore adopted the following reporting sectors:

  • primary segment: Business Line;
  • secondary segment: Geographical Area.

The business line is therefore the main discriminant in the analyses performed and decisions taken by the management of the Enel Group, and is fully consistent with the internal reporting prepared for these purposes since the results are measured and evaluated first and foremost for each business line and only thereafter are they broken down by geographical area.

In this regard, note that the organizational simplification process begun in 2023 led to a restructuring of the business lines and geographical areas, with a consequent need to redefine the segments subject to disclosure in order to present the results of the segments based on the approach used by management to monitor and present the Group's performance to investors.

In particular, in the presentation of figures by primary segment (Business Line):

  • the figures for Enel X, which in the 1st Quarter of 2023 had been presented separately, are now reported under End-user Markets;
  • the figures for Enel X Way, which in the 1st Quarter of 2023 had been presented under Holding, Services and Other, are now reported under End-user Markets.

In the presentation of figures by secondary segment (Geographical Area), the figures for Latin America, Europe, North America, and Africa, Asia and Oceania have merged into the "Rest of the World" area.

The organization continues to be based on a matrix of business lines (Thermal Generation and Trading, Enel Green Power, Enel Grids, End-user Markets, Enel X, Holding and Services) and geographical areas (Italy, Iberia, Rest of the World, Central/Holding).

In the 1st Quarter of 2024 thermal generation decreased by 7,853 million kWh compared with the same period of 2023. The decrease in coal-fired generation of 4,504 million kWh is mainly attributable to Italy, which had used this technology between 2022 and the 1st Quarter of 2023 to comply with the preventive measures established by the government to reduce gas consumption. The decrease in generation from fuel-oil and turbo-gas plants and from combined-cycle plants, equal respectively to 510 million kWh and 2,595 million kWh, is mainly attributable to the sale of Enel Generación Costanera (1,069 million kWh) and Central Dock Sud (640 million kWh) in Argentina as well as operations in Iberia (895 million kWh).

Revenue for the first three months of 2024 amounted to €5,881 million, a decrease of €6,297 million compared with the same period of 2023. The decrease is mainly attributable to the decline in thermal generation, particularly in Italy following the lifting of preventive measures to reduce gas consumption, an increase in water availability in the first three months of 2024 in Italy, Spain and Chile and decreasing average prices, especially in wholesale sales, compared with those in the first three months of 2023.

The decrease of €185 million in ordinary gross operating profit is mainly attributable to the decline in thermal generation, together with lower average prices applied in the first three months of 2024 compared with the same period of 2023. In Italy, these effects were more than offset by the positive results generated by the management hedging carried out by Enel Global Trading.

Gross operating profit amounted to €958 million (€980 million in the first three months of 2023), a decrease of €22 million that reflected the reduction in thermal generation, only partly offset by the effect of the recognition in the 1st Quarter of 2023 of the charge of €154 million associated with the disposal of Enel Generación Costanera in Argentina.

In the 1st Quarter of 2024, net power generation increased as a result of the rise in hydroelectric and solar generation. The increase in recourse to hydroelectric generation was mainly registered in Italy (+1,406 million kWh), Chile (+935 million kWh), Iberia (+625 million kWh), Brazil (+355 million kWh), Argentina (+259 million kWh), Peru (+143 million kWh) and Panama (+94 million kWh) thanks to the increase in water availability in the period compared with the 1st Quarter of 2023. These increases were partly offset by the reduction posted primarily in Colombia (-975 million kWh) at the El Quimbo plant, reflecting poor water availability.

Solar generation posted the largest gains mainly in the United States (+280 million kWh), Iberia (+229 million kWh), Chile (+200 million kWh) and Colombia (+187 million kWh), partly offset by declines in output in Australia (-172 million kWh) and Brazil (-141 million kWh).

Wind generation contracted mainly in Europe (-615 million kWh) following the change in the consolidation scope as a result of the sales of assets in Romania and Greece in the 4th Quarter of 2023.

The increase of €626 million in ordinary gross operating profit during the 1st Quarter of 2024 is substantially attributable to the effects of greater renewables generation, in particular hydroelectric output in Italy, Spain and Chile, as well as to the effects of the recognition in the 1st Quarter of 2023 of the negative impact of clawback mechanisms (€97 million).

These positive effects were partly offset by changes in the

consolidation scope linked to the disposals of assets in Romania and Greece in the 4th Quarter of 2023.

Gross operating profit amounted to €1,685 million (€983 million in the 1st Quarter of 2023), rising essentially due to the factors noted for ordinary gross operating profit.

The increase of €598 million in ordinary operating profit compared with the 1st Quarter of 2023 reflects the factors noted above for ordinary gross operating profit, only partly offset by an increase of €36 million in depreciation and amortization, which mainly reflected the entry into service of new plants during the previous year.

Operating profit in the 1st Quarter of 2024 amounted to €1,271 million, an increase of €660 million on the 1st Quarter of 2023, essentially due to the factors already noted for gross operating profit, partly offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization for the period.

Capital expenditure in the 1st Quarter of 2024 declined by €383 million on the same period of the previous year. The decrease was mainly attributable to Italy (€488 million), primarily due to the substantive completion in 2023 of the development of battery energy storage systems (BESS). This reduction was partly offset by an increase in capital expenditure in solar plants under construction in North America (€98 million).

Ordinary gross operating profit increased by €335 million in the 1st Quarter of 2024 compared with the same period of 2023, mainly in Italy and Spain as a result of the decline in provisioning costs connected with the stabilization of energy commodity prices. The increase also reflected an improvement in performance in Latin America, especially in Colombia, mainly due to an increase in the quantity of electricity sold.

These positive factors were only partly offset by the impact of the change in the consolidation scope connected with the sale of assets in Romania in the 4th Quarter of 2023.

Gross operating profit amounted to €1,431 million, an increase of €367 million (€1,064 million in the 1st Quarter of 2023). The rise was essentially attributable to the factors noted for ordinary gross operating profit, excluding the impact of the change in the classification of discontinued operations in Romania, which were sold at end-2023 (€32 million).

The increase in capital expenditure is mainly attributable to the mobility business in Italy as a result of the installation of new charging stations and to retail operations in Italy and Spain, reflecting customer acquisition costs, only partially offset by the decrease recorded by Enel X in Italy, Latin America and North America.

DEFINITION OF PERFORMANCE MEASURES

In order to present the performance of the Group and analyze its financial structure, in the Interim Financial Report at March 31, 2024, Enel has prepared separate reclassified schedules that differ from the schedules envisaged under the IFRS-EU adopted by the Group and contained in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements, in line with the ESMA Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures (ESMA/2015/1415) published on October 5, 2015. Management believes that these measures are useful in monitoring the performance of the Group and representative of the financial performance and position of our business, ensuring greater comparability over time.

With regard to those measures, on April 29, 2021, CON-SOB issued warning notice no. 5/2021, which gives force to the Guidelines issued on March 4, 2021, by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) on disclosure requirements under Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the Prospectus Regulation), which took effect on May 5, 2021 and replace the references to the CESR Recommendations and those contained in Communication no. DEM/6064293 of July 28, 2006 regarding the net financial position.

The Guidelines update the previous CESR Recommendations (ESMA/2013/319, in the revised version of March 20, 2013) with the exception of those concerning the special issuers referred to in Annex no. 29 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/980, which were not converted into Guidelines and remain applicable.

The Guidelines are intended to promote the usefulness and transparency of alternative performance measures included in regulated information or prospectuses within the scope of application of Directive 2003/71/EC in order to improve their comparability, reliability and comprehensibility.

In line with the regulations cited above, the criteria used to construct these measures for the Enel Group are the following.

Gross operating profit (EBITDA): an operating performance indicator, calculated as the sum of "Operating profit" and "Depreciation, amortization and other impairment" included in "Costs".

Ordinary gross operating profit (ordinary EBITDA): defined as "Gross operating profit" from core businesses connected with the Ownership, Partnership and Stewardship business models with which the Group operates plus the ordinary gross operating profit of discontinued operations where present. It does not include costs connected with corporate restructurings and "extraordinary solidarity levies" imposed by local foreign governments on energy companies.

Ordinary operating profit: defined as "Operating profit" plus the ordinary operating profit of discontinued operations, excluding the effects of transactions not connected with core operations referred to with regard to ordinary gross operating profit. It also excludes significant impairment losses (including reversals of impairment losses) on assets and/or groups of assets following an assessment of the recoverability of their carrying amount under the provisions of "IAS 36 - Impairment of assets" or "IFRS 5 - Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations".

Group ordinary profit: it is determined by adjusting "Group profit" for the items discussed under "Ordinary operating profit", taking account of any tax effects and non-controlling interests. Also excluded are a number of financial components not strictly attributable to the Group's core business operations.

Net non-current assets: calculated as the difference between "Non-current assets" and "Non-current liabilities" with the exception of:

• "Deferred tax assets" included in "Other non-current assets";

  • "Other non-current financial assets included in net financial debt" included in "Other non-current assets";
  • "Long-term borrowings";
  • "Employee benefits" included in "Sundry provisions and deferred tax liabilities";
  • "Provisions for risks and charges (non-current portion)" included in "Sundry provisions and deferred tax liabilities";
  • "Deferred tax liabilities" included in "Sundry provisions and deferred tax liabilities";
  • "Other non-current financial liabilities" included in "Other non-current liabilities".

Net working capital: calculated as the difference between "Current assets" and "Current liabilities" with the exception of:

  • "Current financial assets included in net financial debt" included in "Other current assets";
  • "Cash and cash equivalents";
  • "Short-term borrowings and current portion of longterm borrowings";
  • "Provisions for risks and charges (current portion)" included in "Other current liabilities";
  • "Other current financial liabilities included in net financial debt" included in "Other current liabilities".

Net assets held for sale: calculated as the algebraic sum of "Assets classified as held for sale" and "Liabilities included in disposal groups classified as held for sale".

Net capital employed: calculated as the algebraic sum of "Net non-current assets" and "Net working capital", "Provisions for risks and charges (non-current and current portion)", "Employee benefits", "Deferred tax liabilities" and "Deferred tax assets", as well as "Net assets held for sale".

Net financial debt: a financial structure indicator, determined by:

  • "Long-term borrowings", "Short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term borrowings", "Other non-current financial liabilities" and "Other current financial liabilities included in net financial debt";
  • net of "Cash and cash equivalents";
  • net of "Current financial assets included in net financial debt", which includes: (i) the current portion of long-term loan assets, (ii) securities and (iii) current loan assets;
  • net of "Other non-current financial assets included in net financial debt", which includes: (i) securities and (ii) loan assets.

More generally, the net financial debt of the Enel Group is reported in accordance with Guideline 39, issued on March 4, 2021 by ESMA, applicable as from May 5, 2021, and with the above warning notice no. 5/2021 issued by CONSOB on April 29, 2021.

A reconciliation of the Group's financial debt as determined with the criteria indicated above and the financial debt determined in accordance with the criteria of CON-SOB Communication no. DEM/6064293 of July 28, 2006 is reported in note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2024.

Main changes in the consolidation scope

In the two periods under comparison, the consolidation scope changed as a result of a number of transactions. For more information, please see note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2024.

OUTLOOK

In November 2023, the Group presented its new Strategic Plan for 2024-2026, based on three pillars:

  • profitability, flexibility and resilience with selective capital allocation to optimize the Enel Group's risk/return profile;
  • effectiveness and efficiency as drivers of the Group's operations, based on simplification of processes, a leaner organization focused on core countries, and streamlined costs;
  • financial and environmental sustainability pursuing value creation while contributing to the fight against climate change.

For the three-year period 2024-2026, the Group mapped out a total gross investment plan of €35.8 billion:

  • around €18.6 billion in Grids, focusing on improving quality, resilience and digitalization, and expanding new connections;
  • around €12.1 billion in Renewables, particularly on onshore wind, solar and battery storage, also leveraging on practices as repowering plants;
  • around €3 billion in Customers, with active management of the customer base through multi-play bundled offers, including goods and services in an integrated portfolio available through a single touchpoint for the customer.

As a result of the strategic actions described above, the Enel Group's ordinary EBITDA is expected to increase to between €23.6 billion and €24.3 billion in 2026, while Group net ordinary income is expected to increase to between €7.1 billion and €7.3 billion.

The dividend policy provides for a minimum fixed dividend per share (DPS) of €0.43 for the 2024-2026 period, with a potential increase up to a 70% payout on net ordinary income if cash neutrality is achieved.

The following are planned for 2024:

  • investment in distribution grids focusing on geographical areas that have fair and transparent regulatory frameworks in place, in particular in Italy;
  • selective investment in renewables, aimed at maximizing visibility of returns while reducing risks;
  • active management of the customer base through bundled multi-play offers.

In light of the solid performance registered in the 1st Quarter, we can confirm the guidance provided to the financial markets on the occasion of the presentation of the 2024- 2026 Strategic Plan: in 2024, the Group expects ordinary EBITDA of between €22.1 billion and €22.8 billion and net ordinary income of between €6.6 billion and €6.8 billion.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT MARCH 31, 2024

1. Accounting policies and measurement criteria

The accounting standards adopted, the recognition and measurement criteria and the consolidation criteria and methods used for these condensed consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2024 are the same as those adopted for the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2023 (please see the related report for more information). In addition, as from January 1, 2024 the following amendments of accounting standards have become applicable to the Enel Group.

  • "Amendments to IAS 1 Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current", issued in January 2020. The amendments regard the provisions of IAS 1 concerning the presentation of liabilities. More specifically, the amendments eliminate the requirement that the right to defer settlement must be unconditional and clarify:
    • the criteria to adopt in classifying a liability as current or non-current, specifying the meaning of right to defer settlement;
    • that the classification is unaffected by the intentions or expectations of management about the exercise of the right to defer settlement of a liability;
    • that the right to defer exists if and only if the entity satisfies the terms of the liability at the end of the reporting period, even if the creditor does not verify compliance with those terms until later; and
    • that settlement regards the transfer to the counterparty of cash, equity instruments or other economic resources (e.g. assets or services). In this regard, the terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the transfer of the entity's own equity instruments (e.g. conversion options) do not affect its classification as current or non-current if, applying "IAS 32 - Financial Instruments: Presentation", the entity classifies the option as an equity instrument, recognizing it separately from the liability.

The application of the amendments has not had a material impact in this Interim Financial Report.

  • "Amendments to IAS 1 Non-current Liabilities with Covenants", issued in October 2022. The amendments are intended to:
    • clarify that the classification of the liability as current or non-current at the reporting date is subject to any covenants in the contract that must be complied with on or before the end of the reporting period; and
    • improve disclosure when the right to defer settlement of a liability for at least 12 months is subject to compliance with covenants. Specifically, the amendments require the disclosure of information in the notes that enables users of financial statements to understand the risk that the liabilities could become repayable within 12 months after the reporting period, including: (i) information about the covenants (including the nature of the covenants and when the entity is required to comply with them) and the carrying amount of related liabilities; and (ii) facts and circumstances, if any, that indicate the entity may have difficulty complying with the covenants.

The application of the amendments has not had a material impact in this Interim Financial Report.

"Amendments to IFRS 16 - Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback", issued in September 2022. The amendments specify the criteria that a seller-lessee shall use to measure lease liabilities arising from a sale and leaseback in a way that it does not recognize any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it retains.

IFRS 16 requires the seller-lessee to measure the right-ofuse asset arising from a sale and leaseback transaction in proportion to the previous carrying amount of the asset that relates to the right of use retained and, consequently, to recognize only the amount of any capital gain or loss relating to the rights transferred to the buyer-lessor.

The amendments include examples that illustrate the initial and subsequent measurement of the liability by including variable payments that do not depend on an index or a rate. This representation is a departure from the general accounting model required by IFRS 16, in which variable payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized through profit or loss in the period in which the event or condition that determines these payments occurs.

The application of the amendments has not had a material impact in this Interim Financial Report.

2. Argentina – Hyperinflationary economy: impact of the application of IAS 29

As from July 1, 2018, the Argentine economy has been considered hyperinflationary based on the criteria established by "IAS 29 - Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies". This designation is determined following an assessment of a series of qualitative and quantitative circumstances, including the presence of a cumulative inflation rate of more than 100% over the previous three years. For the purposes of preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements and in accordance with IAS 29, certain items of the balance sheets of the investees in Argentina have been remeasured by applying the general consumer price index to historical data in order to reflect changes in the purchasing power of the Argentine peso at the reporting date for those companies.

Bearing in mind that the Enel Group acquired control of the Argentine companies on June 25, 2009, the remeasurement of the non-monetary balance sheet figures was conducted by applying the inflation indices starting from that date. In addition to being already reflected in the opening balance sheet, the accounting effects of that remeasurement also include changes during the period. More specifically, the effect of the remeasurement of non-monetary items, the components of equity and the components of the income statement recognized in the first three months of 2024 was recognized in a specific line of the income statement under financial income and expense. The associated tax effect was recognized in taxes for the period.

In order to also take account of the impact of hyperinflation on the exchange rate of the local currency, the income statement balances expressed in the hyperinflationary currency have been translated into the Group's presentation currency (euro) applying, in accordance with IAS 21, the closing exchange rate rather than the average rate for the period in order to adjust these amounts to current values.

The cumulative changes in the general price indices from December 31, 2018 to March 31, 2024 are shown in the following table:

Periods Cumulative change in general consumer price index
From July 1, 2009 to December 31, 2018 346.30%
From January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019 54.46%
From January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020 35.41%
From January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 49.73%
From January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 97.08%
From January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 222.01%
From January 1, 2024 to March 31, 2024 50.04%

In the 1st Quarter of 2024, the application of IAS 29 generated net financial income from hyperinflation adjustments (gross of tax) of €116 million.

The following tables report the effects of IAS 29 on the balance at March 31, 2024 and the impact of hyperinflation on the main income statement items for the 1st Quarter of 2024, differentiating between that concerning the revaluation on the basis of the general consumer price index and that due to the application of the closing exchange rate rather than the average exchange rate for the period in accordance with the provisions of IAS 21 for hyperinflationary economies.

4. Performance and financial position by primary segment (Business Line) and secondary segment (Geographical Area)

The presentation of performance and financial position by business line is based on the approach used by management in monitoring Group performance for the two periods being compared, taking account of the operating model adopted and described previously.

In particular, management monitors and reports on performance by business line. Accordingly, the Group has adopted the following reporting sectors:

  • primary segment: Business Line;
  • secondary segment: Geographical Area.

The business line is therefore the main discriminant in the analyses performed and decisions taken by the management of the Enel Group, and is fully consistent with the internal reporting prepared for these purposes since the results are measured and evaluated first and foremost for each business line and only thereafter are they broken down by geographical area.

In this regard, note that the organizational simplification process begun in 2023 led to a restructuring of the business lines and geographical areas, with a consequent need to redefine the segments subject to disclosure in order to present the results of the segments based on the approach used by management to monitor and present the Group's performance to investors.

In particular, in the presentation of figures by primary segment (Business Line):

  • the figures for Enel X, which in the 1st Quarter of 2023 had been presented separately, are now reported under End-user Markets;
  • the figures for Enel X Way, which in the 1st Quarter of 2023 had been presented under Holding, Services and Other, are now reported under End-user Markets.

In the presentation of figures by secondary segment (Geographical Area), the figures for Latin America, Europe, North America, and Africa, Asia and Oceania have merged into the "Rest of the World" area.

The organization continues to be based on a matrix of business lines (Thermal Generation and Trading, Enel Green Power, Enel Grids, End-user Markets, Enel X, Holding and Services) and geographical areas (Italy, Iberia, Rest of the World, Central/Holding).

In the 1st Quarter of 2024 revenue from the "sale of electricity" amounted to €11,293 million, down €2,670 million on the same period of the previous year (-19.1%). The decrease, which was largely accounted for by Italy (€1,908 million) and Spain (€850 million), mainly reflected a decrease in electricity sale prices and is only partly offset by the increase in revenue in Latin America.

"Transfers from institutional market operators" decreased by €246 million on the 1st Quarter of 2023, mainly in Italy (€223 million), attributable mainly to a decrease in revenue from the reimbursement system for the maximization of coal-fired generation.

The decrease in revenue from the "sale and transport of gas" of €618 million on the 1st Quarter of 2023 reflects a decrease in the sales of gas (€1,131 million) attributable to both a decrease in quantities sold, and a decrease in average sale prices, partly offset by an increase in revenue from the transport of gas in Italy (€513 million) connected with the restoration of system charges.

Revenue from the "sale of fuels" decreased by €501 million with the decrease primarily being registered by Enel Global Trading and Endesa Energía as a result of a general decrease in gas prices in spot sales.

The decrease in revenue from the "sale of commodities under contracts with physical settlement", measured at fair value through profit or loss within the scope of IFRS 9 (-€979 million), mainly regarded the sale of gas. This effect was amplified by the negative performance from the fair value measurement of closed contracts compared with the 1st Quarter of 2023 (-€1,947 million) mainly regarding gas.

The following table shows the net gain or loss on contracts for the sale or purchase of commodities with physical settlement measured at fair value through profit or loss within the scope of IFRS 9.

Capitalized costs (756) (726) (30) -4.1%
Total 15,024 22,823 (7,799) -34.2%

Costs for "electricity purchases" decreased as a result of a decline in average purchase prices and a reduction in volumes purchased in the first three months of 2024 compared with the same period of 2023, mainly in Italy (€1,856 million) and Spain (€539 million). The item includes the results from the fair value measurement of electricity purchase contracts with physical settlement closed in the first three months of 2024, which posted a decrease of €200 million compared with the corresponding period of 2023.

The decrease in costs for "consumption of fuel for electricity generation" mainly reflects the decrease in average purchase prices compared with the corresponding period of 2023, mainly in Italy and Spain.

The decrease in costs for the purchase of "fuels for trading and gas for sale to end users" essentially reflects the price effect of commodities, especially gas, and developments in volumes handled.

The item includes the results from the fair value measurement of gas purchase contracts with physical settlement closed in the first three months of 2024, which posted a decrease of €1,758 million compared with the corresponding period of 2023.

The costs for "materials" decreased by €93 million essentially reflecting a decrease in commodity purchases, a decrease in the consumption of materials in inventories as well as in costs of environmental certificates, including the change in inventories, related to lower purchases of CO2 allowances, mainly in Italy and Spain.

In the first three months of 2024, the decrease of €53 million in costs for "personnel expenses" mainly reflects the decrease in costs for wages, salaries and other personnel remuneration (in the amount of €38 million) and social contributions (€12 million), mainly due to a decline in the average workforce compared with the 1st Quarter of 2023.

The Enel Group workforce at March 31, 2024 numbered 60,905, of which 29,335 employed abroad. In the first three months of 2024, the workforce decreased by 150, reflecting the balance between new hires and terminations.

The overall change compared with December 31, 2023 breaks down as follows:

Balance at December 31, 2023 61,055
Hirings 758
Terminations (908)
Change in the consolidation scope -
Balance at March 31, 2024 60,905

The increase in costs for "services, leases and rentals" is mainly due to the increase in costs for wheeling in Italy connected with effect of the application in the 1st Quarter of 2023 of the cost component in favor of end users provided for in the Regulatory Authority for Energy, Networks and Environment (ARERA) Resolution no. 148/2022/R/gas and the

1 Report on Operations 2 Condensed consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2024

increase in the 1st Quarter of 2024 of rates as provided for in ARERA Resolution no. 632/2023.

The rise in "depreciation, amortization and impairment losses" mainly reflects an increase in depreciation and amortization as a result of new capital expenditure in the renewable energy and distribution sectors.

Costs of "environmental certificates" decreased by €492 million, due in particular to the decrease in conventional generation and a reduction in the prices of emissions certificates.

The decrease in "capital losses and other costs on the disposal of equity investments" essentially regards the capital loss on the disposal of Enel Generación Costanera SA recognized in the 1st Quarter of 2023 (€132 million) and related charges (€22 million).

"Extraordinary solidarity levies" regard the tax recognized in 2024 in Spain in the amount of €202 million (€208 million in the first three months of 2023) following the enactment of Law 38 of December 27, 2022.

5.c Net results from commodity contracts – €(407) million

Net results from commodity contracts showed net expense of €407 million in the first three months of 2024 (net expense of €640 million in the corresponding period of 2023) and break down as follows:

• net expense on commodity derivatives totaling €408 million (net expense of €401 million in the first three months of 2023) including derivatives designated as cash flow hedges and derivatives measured at fair value through profit or loss. More specifically, net expense from derivatives settled in the period amounted to €432 million (net expense of €604 million in the 1st Quarter of 2023) and the net fair value gain from measurement of outstanding derivatives came to €24 million (net gain of €203 million in the 1st Quarter of 2023);

• net gain from measurement at fair value through profit or loss of outstanding energy commodity contracts with physical settlement amounting to €1 million (net expense of €239 million in the 1st Quarter of 2023).

5.d Net financial income/(expense) – €(734) million

Net financial expense came to €734 million, down by €131 million on the same period in 2023. The change is mainly attributable to the following factors:

• an increase of €49 million in income from hyperinflation adjustments recognized by the Argentine companies in application of IAS 29;

• an increase in net gains from the recognition of exchange differences and the results of the associated hedging transactions with derivatives in the amount of €41 million.

5.e Share of profit/(loss) of equity-accounted investments – €1 million

The share of profit of equity-accounted investments in the first three months of 2024 is a positive total of €1 million, down by €11 million on the same period of 2023. The change mainly reflected the sale of the equity interest in Rusenergosbyt in 2023 (€19 million), partly offset by the increase in the share of profit of the Kino project companies (€6 million).

5.f Income taxes – €1,024 million

Income taxes for the first three months of 2024 amounted to €1,024 million, up by €320 million on the same period of 2023 reflecting the increase in taxable income for the period, equal to 31.3% of pre-tax profit (from 33.6% in the corresponding period of 2023).

The decrease in the tax rate essentially reflected the impact on the 1st Quarter of 2023 of the non-recognition of deferred tax assets on the capital loss from the sale of Enel Generación Costanera in Argentina and the reversal of deferred tax assets no longer considered recoverable in Peru.

Assets

6.a Non-current assets – €146,429 million

Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, including investment property, amounted to €108,300 million at March 31, 2024, an overall increase of €1,347 million. The change is mainly attributable to investments in the period in the amount of €2,405 million, the value adjustment of tangible assets of Argentine companies as they operate in a hyperinflationary economy (€687 million), the effect of capitalizing interest on loans specifically dedicated to capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment (€50 million) and new leases (€85 million), only partly offset by depreciation and amortization in the amount of €1,574 million and the classification as assets held for sale (€344 million), mainly of assets held by e-distribuzione SpA related to electricity distribution in certain municipalities in the region of Lombardy in Italy.

Goodwill amounted to €13,038 million, a decrease of €4 million mainly attributable to exchange rate differences in Brazil.

Equity-accounted investments amounted to €1,685 million, an increase of €35 million on the end of the previous year, mainly attributable to the capital increase in Mooney (€25 million) which increased the value of the equity investment.

Other non-current assets include:

Other long-term amounts due 2,124 1,918 206 10.7%
Total 23,406 23,044 362 1.6%

(1) The item includes investments of the period in contract assets of €182 million at March 31, 2024 and €795 million at December 31, 2023.

The increase of €362 million in the period is essentially due to:

  • an increase in "other long-term amounts due" mainly due to an increase in tax credits (€190 million), primarily recognized in Italy in respect of the "Ecosismabonus" building renovation program and in Brazil in respect of the dispute regarding the application of the PIS/COFIN taxes in that country;
  • an increase in "contract assets" (€114 million) mainly referring to assets under development within the scope of public-to-private "service concession arrangements" recognized in accordance with IFRIC 12;
  • an increase in financial assets in respect of service concession arrangements (€81 million), mainly in Brazil.

These effects were only partly offset by a decrease in "deferred tax assets" (€61 million), mainly due to the decrease in

and securities.

deferred tax assets linked to developments in the fair value of cash flow hedge derivatives, partly offset by the effect of hyperinflation in Argentina.

Finally, the item "other non-current financial assets included

6.b Current assets – €41,737 million

Inventories amounted to €3,598 million, a decrease of €692 million, most of which was recognized in Italy and Spain, essentially reflecting a decrease in inventories of fuel, mainly gas, CO2 allowances and guarantees of origin.

Trade receivables amounted to €15,574 million, a decrease of €2,199 million, mainly recognized by Italian companies.

in net financial debt" includes non-current financial assets

Other current assets break down as follows:

Other short-term amounts due 2,339 1,839 500 27.2%
Total 15,869 15,752 117 0.7%

The increase in the period of €117 million is mainly due to:

  • an increase in "tax assets" relating essentially to VAT credits (€321 million);
  • an increase in "other short-term amounts due" mainly regarding an increase in prepaid expenses, essentially in respect of fees for water diversion for industrial use (€124 million) and insurance premiums (€110 million), as well as an increase in assets in respect of settled commodity derivatives (€120 million), primarily in Italy and Spain;
  • an increase in "amounts due from institutional market operators" (€114 million), mainly recognized by the Italian and Spanish companies.

The change in the period was partly offset by:

• a decrease in the fair value of "current derivative assets" (€695 million) essentially attributable to derivatives at fair value through profit or loss entered into to hedge the price risk on commodities which are affected by the fall in commodity prices;

• a decrease in "other current financial assets included in net financial debt", which include the current portion of long-term financial assets, securities and current financial assets. The decrease (€235 million) is mainly due to the decrease in assets in respect of cash collateral paid to counterparties in derivatives transactions (€438 million), partly offset by an increase in the current portion of long-term financial assets (€244 million), due essentially to the increase in the receivable in respect of system for financing the deficit of the Spanish electrical system (€187 million).

6.c Assets classified as held for sale – €6,134 million

The item essentially includes assets measured at the lower of cost, understood as their net carrying amount, and their estimated realizable value, which, due to management decisions, meet the requirements of "IFRS 5 - Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations" for their classification in this item.

Liabilities and equity

6.d Equity attributable to owners of the Parent – €34,549 million

The increase of €2,794 million in the first three months of 2024 in equity attributable to owners of the Parent mainly reflects profit recognized through profit or loss for the period (€1,931 million), the recognition of the profit recognized through other comprehensive income (€50 million) and the change in perpetual hybrid bonds (€593 million) resulting from the issue in February 2024 in the amount of €890 million, net of transaction costs, and a repurchase in January 2024 in the amount of €297 million. These effects were partly offset by the payment of €30 million in coupons to holders of hybrid bonds.

In addition, the Group's equity increased by €256 million as a result of the hyperinflation adjustment of the value of the net assets held in Argentina.

6.e Non-current liabilities – €92,011 million

Long-term borrowings amounted to €62,351 million (€61,085 million at December 31, 2023). They consist of bonds, totaling €44,812 million (€43,579 million at December 31, 2023), bank borrowings of €14,524 million (€14,500 million at December 31, 2023) and other borrowings of €3,015 million (€3,006 million at December 31, 2023).

The item increased by €1,266 million mainly due to the increase in bonds (€1,233 million) essentially attributable to new issues.

Provisions and deferred tax liabilities amounted to €16,552 million at March 31, 2024 (€16,555 million at December 31, 2023) and include:

  • employee benefit liabilities totaling €2,201 million (€2,320 million at December 31, 2023);
  • the non-current portion of provisions for risks and charges, amounting to €5,959 million (€6,018 million at December 31, 2023). The item did not significantly change compared to December 31, 2023;
  • deferred tax liabilities amounting to €8,392 million (€8,217 million at December 31, 2023), with the increase of €175 million mainly attributable to the effect of hyperinflation in Argentina, partly offset by a decrease in deferred tax on changes in the fair value of cash flow hedge derivatives.

Other non-current liabilities amounted to €13,108 million (€13,360 million at December 31, 2023), a decrease of €252 million, substantially reflecting the change in the fair value of non-current derivative liabilities (€289 million), mainly in respect of derivatives used to hedge commodity price risk and exchange risk. This effect was partly offset by the increase in deferred income in respect of grants from EU organizations and/or public entities for e-distribuzione plants.

Finally, other non-current liabilities include "other non-current financial liabilities" in the amount of €8 million (€8 million at December 31, 2023), included in net financial debt, for financial liabilities in respect of the Spanish electrical system deficit.

6.f Current liabilities – €51,791 million

Short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term borrowings amounted to €12,782 million (€13,855 million at December 31, 2023), and included short-term borrowings of €2,851 million (€4,769 million at December 31, 2023) and the current portion of long-term borrowings of €9,931 million (€9,086 million at December 31, 2023). The item decreased by €1,073 million primarily reflecting the decrease in short-term borrowing (€1,918 million) mainly due to a reduction in commercial paper.

Trade payables amounted to €12,918 million (€15,821 million at December 31, 2023), down by €2,903 million, mainly reflecting the decrease in commodity prices and normal developments in the fuel provisioning cycle.

Other current liabilities break down as follows:

Millions of euro
at Mar. 31, 2024 at Dec. 31, 2023 Change
Current derivative liabilities 5,229 6,461 (1,232) -19.1%

Other current liabilities 3,249 3,159 90 2.8%
Total 26,091 27,123 (1,032) -3.8%

The change in the period is essentially due to:

  • a decrease in the fair value of "current derivative liabilities" (€1,232 million), mainly regarding derivatives at fair value through profit or loss and cash flow hedge derivatives hedging commodity price risk;
  • a decrease in amounts due for "dividends" (€2,197 million) reflecting dividends paid in the 1st Quarter of 2024.

These factors were partially offset by:

• an increase in "tax liabilities" (€2,089 million), primari-

ly regarding liabilities income taxes (€861 million), value-added tax (€930 million) and taxes on electricity and gas consumption (€95 million);

  • an increase in "other current financial liabilities" (€ 207 million), mainly associated with deferred income;
  • an increase in "amounts due to institutional market operators" (€46 million), mainly in Italy.

Finally, the item "other current financial liabilities included in net financial debt" includes current financial liabilities in respect of the Spanish electrical system deficit.

6.g Liabilities included in disposal groups classified as held for sale – €2,313 million

The item includes liabilities included in disposal groups classified as held for sale, that, in view of the decisions taken by management, meet the requirements of "IFRS 5 - Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations" for classification under this item.

Total 123,616 127,570 (3,954)
TOTAL 126,866 130,977 (4,111)

Commitments for electricity at March 31, 2024 amounted to €61,656 million, of which €20,161 million refer to the period April 1, 2024-2028, €16,209 million to the period 2029-2033, €8,409 million to the period 2034-2038 and the remaining €16,877 million beyond 2038.

Commitments for the purchase of fuels are determined with reference to the contractual parameters and exchange rates applicable at the end of the period (as prices are variable and mainly denominated in foreign currency). At March 31, 2024 they amount to €45,216 million, of which €11,963 million refer to the period April 1, 2024- 2028, €20,987 million to the period 2029-2033, €8,939 million to the period 2034-2038 and the remaining €3,327 million beyond 2038.

The decrease in commitments for the purchase of electricity and fuels mainly reflects the contraction in commodity prices compared with the 1st Quarter of 2023.

"Other" guarantees mainly include commitments for environmental compliance and increased volumes envisaged in the new investment plan.

Tax litigation in Brazil

Withholding Tax – Ampla

In 1998, Ampla Energia e Serviços SA (Ampla) financed the acquisition of Coelce with the issue of bonds in the amount of \$350 million ("Fixed Rate Notes" - FRN) subscribed by its Panamanian subsidiary, which had been established to raise funds abroad. Under the special rules then in force, subject to maintaining the bond until 2008, the interest paid by Ampla to its subsidiary was not subject to withholding tax in Brazil.

However, the financial crisis of 1998 forced the Panamanian company to refinance itself with its Brazilian parent, which for that purpose obtained loans from local banks. The tax Parque Solar Don José SA de Cv, Villanueva Solar SA de Cv and Parque Solar Villanueva Tres SA de Cv have requested the recognition and enforcement of the arbitration award. The proceeding is pending.

of the Court of Bratislava of October 10, 2023 rejecting the main claim of VV on procedural grounds and consequently, also SE's counterclaim;

ii. in respect of the proceeding relating to 2015, on February 25, 2024 hearings before the court of first instance were held.

authorities considered this financing to be the equivalent of the early extinguishment of the bond, with the consequent loss of entitlement to the exemption from withholding tax. In December 2005, Ampla carried out a spin-off that involved the transfer of the residual FRN debt and the associated rights and obligations to Ampla Investimentos e Serviços SA.

On November 6, 2012, the Câmara Superior de Recursos Fiscais (the highest level of administrative courts) issued a ruling against Ampla, for which the company promptly asked that body for clarifications. On October 15, 2013, Ampla was notified of the denial of the request for clarification (embargo de declaração), thereby upholding the previous

adverse decision. The company provided security for the debt and on June 27, 2014 continued litigation before the ordinary courts (Tribunal de Justiça).

In December 2017, the court appointed an expert to examine the issue in greater detail in support of the future ruling. In September 2018, the expert submitted a report, requesting additional documentation.

In December 2018, the company, now Enel Distribuição Rio de Janeiro, provided the additional documentation and, in view of the conclusions presented by the expert, requested a further expert opinion. The case has been referred to the expert for clarifications regarding the position expressed by the company.

In July 2021, the supplementary report was filed by the expert in which the existence of the loan agreements was acknowledged and the bond loan was terminated, both for the principal amount and for interest, mainly through a capital increase. The company, called to pronounce on the report filed, requested the full cancellation of the tax debt.

In March 2024, the company filed a request for review of the value involved in the litigation following the approval of a new law which requires, in federal administrative proceedings, the cancellation of penalties (and related interest) for disputes with outcomes unfavorable to taxpayers as a result of the application of the rule that gives the decisive vote to the tax authority in the event of a tie. Following the grant of the petition, the company obtained a reduction of penalties and interest and will also request a reduction of the corresponding guarantees. The amount involved in the dispute at March 31, 2024 is about €119 million.

ICMS – Coelce

The State of Ceará has filed various tax assessments against Companhia Energética do Ceará SA over the years (for tax periods 2015-2019), as well as against all other energy distributors in Brazil, demanding the ICMS (Imposto sobre Circulação de Mercadorias e Serviços, tax on the circulation of goods and services) on the subsidies paid by the Federal government against the regulatory discounts granted to certain consumers.

The company has appealed the individual assessments, defending its actions at the various levels of jurisdiction. The amount involved in the dispute at March 31, 2024 is about €100 million.

PIS/COFINS – Enel Green Power Cachoeira Dourada SA

In March 2024, the Brazilian tax authorities served a tax assessment notice, for the 2020 tax period, against Enel Green Power Cachoeira Dourada SA, in respect of the PIS and COFINS taxes. More specifically, the company offset PIC and COFINS tax credits for the purchase of electricity imported from Argentina with similar liabilities connected with the sale of electricity on the market.

The tax authorities argue that this offsetting was unwarranted, since the credit to be offset is that resulting from the import declaration.

For physical goods, this import declaration is concurrent with customs clearance and entry of the goods into the country, while for electricity it is made approximately two months after receipt of the invoice and registration of the purchase in the accounts.

However, the regulations do not include a specific exception for energy purchases and the company has taken steps to offset the credit in the first month of payment of PIS and COFINS (due on the proceeds of the sale).

The company has appealed the tax assessment, arguing the validity of the offsets claimed.

The overall amount involved in the proceeding at March 31, 2024 is about €78 million.
