Foreword

The Interim Financial Report at September 30, 2023 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.

Enel organizational model Modello organizzativo di Enel

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

Global Business Lines

The Global Business Lines 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 addition, 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, which reflect the new strategic line adopted, explicitly integrating the SDGs within our financial strategy and promoting a low-carbon business model. 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 are the primary objectives of each Global Business Line:

  • Enel Grids and Innovability: ensures the reliability and quality of supply service through efficient, resilient and digital grids; promotes, harmonizes and supports the Global Business Lines in the areas of innovation and sustainability;
  • Global Energy & Commodity Management and Chief Pricing Officer: optimizes the Group's margin by managing it as a single portfolio, seeking the best balance;
  • Enel Green Power & Thermal Generation: accelerates the energy transition, expanding installed renewable capacity;
  • Enel X Global Retail: optimizes the integrated margin by managing the supply of energy, services, electric mobility and innovative solutions.

Regions and Countries are responsible for managing relationships with institutional bodies and regulatory authorities, as well as selling electricity and gas, in each of the countries in which the Group is present, while also providing staff and other service support to the business lines. They are also charged with promoting decarbonization and guiding the energy transition towards a low-carbon business model within their areas of responsibility.

The following functions provide support to Enel's business operations:

The Global Service Functions are responsible for managing information and communication technology activities, procurement at the Group level and managing global customer relationship activities.

The Global Service Functions are also focused on the responsible adoption of measures that allow the achievement of sustainable development objectives, in the specific in managing the supply chain and developing digital solutions to support the development of enabling technologies for the energy transition and the fight against climate change.

Staff Functions (Holding)

Global Service Functions

Regions and Countries

The Staff Functions (Holding) are responsible for managing governance processes at the Group level. The Administration, Finance and Control Function is also responsible for consolidating scenario analysis and managing the strategic and financial planning process aimed at promoting the decarbonization of the energy mix and the electrification of energy demand, key actions in the fight against climate change.

(1) The Group Investment Committee is made up of the heads of Administration, Finance and Control, Innovability, Legal and Corporate Affairs, Global Procurement, and the heads of the Regions and the Business Lines.

Reference scenario

The macroeconomic environment

After exceeding expectations for global macroeconomic conditions in the early part of 2023, supported by a broad decline in energy prices and the continuing resilience of private demand for goods and services, the 3rd Quarter of the year saw the continuation of the reversal of conditions already seen in the previous period. The impact of the tighter monetary policy implemented by central banks has begun to slow private consumption and dampen the confidence of the industrial sector and the financial markets. The persistence of inflation driven by the core component (which excludes the more volatile components of the index such as energy and food) has also continued to erode real incomes and prolong expectations for restrictive monetary policy conditions in the coming quarters.

After performing reasonably well in the 1st Quarter (1.2% on an annual basis), driven by a resilient labor market and robust demand for services, the euro area then experienced two quarters of stagnation followed, with growth in the 3rd Quarter expected to be 0.2%. Faced with the persistence of greater-than-expected core inflation, during the year the European Central Bank rapidly raised its key interest rates (at its last meeting in September, the rates on main refinancing operations, the marginal lending facility and the deposit facility at the central bank reached 4.00%, 4.50% and 4.75% respectively), the impact of which severely affected the industrial sector and, with a lag, private consumption.

In Italy, the GDP growth rate is expected to be 0.2% on an annual basis in the 3rd Quarter, confirming the sharp slowdown in Italian economic growth after a 2.0% jump in the 2nd Quarter. The prolonged tightening of monetary policy has eroded domestic demand, especially for private investment. In addition, the persistent inflationary pressures driven by the core component and the increases in energy prices in recent months continue to act as a brake on the pace of growth in economic activity.

In Spain, the 3rd Quarter is expected to see a slight decline in GDP growth, easing to 1.6% on an annual basis from the 4.2% and 1.8% posted in the previous two quarters respectively, when growth was initially supported by the steep fall in energy prices. In the 3rd Quarter, inflationary pressures (2.6% year-on-year) generated by the recent increase in energy prices once again put pressure on domestic demand. In addition, weak external growth and the prolonged period of restrictive financial conditions have further slowed the industrial sector, which has been struggling since the 2nd Quarter of the year.

In the United States, GDP growth is forecast to exceed expectations in the 3rd Quarter (2.4% year-on-year), confirming the positive trend since the beginning of the year. Despite the Federal Reserve continuing to raise the federal funds rate (in its latest decision in September, the Fed confirmed its target range of between 5.25% and 5.50%) and inflation displaying weak signs of slowing (3.5% on an annual basis expected in the 3rd Quarter), both the labor market and private consumption still showed strong signs of resilience, sustaining the performance of the real economy.

In Brazil, growth is expected to slow in the 3rd Quarter to 2.9% on an annual basis, compared with 3.3% between April and June. Brazilian inflation is expected to accelerate in the 3rd Quarter, rising to 4.7% on an annual basis from 3.8% in the previous three months, reflecting the dissipation of the base effects of fuel tax exemptions. However, the gradual disinflation under way since the beginning of the year prompted the central bank to reduce its benchmark rate to 12.75% in September following two consecutive cuts of 50 basis points.

The Chilean economy is expected to post a slight recovery in the 3rd Quarter, with expected GDP rate of 0.4% on an annual basis, after recording a sharp contraction (-1.1%) in the previous quarter. In the 3rd Quarter, inflation is expected to decline significantly (to 5.7% on an annual basis, from 8.7% in the previous period). The marked slowdown, which reflects a broad decline in activity across all sectors of the economy, enabled the central bank to ease its monetary policy stance with a larger than expected interest rate cut in July (100 basis points), followed by a further reduction of 75 basis points in September.

After recording GDP growth of 0.3% on an annual basis in the 2nd Quarter, the Colombian economy is expected to decelerate in the 3rd Quarter due to a general decline in all sectors. The disinflation process is proving to be less rapid than expected due to the persistence of high food and energy prices, with headline inflation expected to be 11.3% in the 3rd Quarter, compared with the 12.4% recorded in the previous period.

Energy conditions

The commodity market

The 3rd Quarter of 2023 saw commodity markets post strong rises compared with the first six months of the year, although they were still sharply down compared with the same period of 2022.

Focusing attention on the oil market, oil prices rose in the 3rd Quarter, with Brent rising from below \$75 a barrel in June to over \$95 a barrel in September. This dynamic was largely driven by the action of OPEC+ to keep supply under control through production cuts, with a consequent decline in inventory levels globally.

During the first nine months of 2023, the gas market experienced a sharp decline, with the TTF benchmark price falling from almost €75/MWh in January to close to €23/MWh in June, thanks to the combination of low demand and high levels of gas in storage. In the 3rd Quarter, gas prices began to rise again, exceeding €40/MWh on some days. This rebound is mainly due to a number of disruptions along the supply chain, such as extraordinary maintenance in Norway and the threat of strikes in Australia. On average, the TTF price decreased by almost 70% compared with the first nine months of 2022.

Coal prices remained fairly stable in the 3rd Quarter, fluctuating between \$100 and \$120/ton, but were down more than 55% compared with the same period of the previous year. Underpinning these developments is the progressive return to gas-fired generation in Europe, which has impacted demand for coal.

After edging close to €100/ton at the beginning of the year, the CO2 market experienced substantial volatility, falling to €77/ton in June before settling at between €80 and €90/ton. Driving this behavior is the low demand for allowances, balanced in some periods of the year by a lack of auctions.

Metal prices slowed in the first nine months of 2023. The prices of copper, iron and steel declined, reflecting fears of a slowdown in the global economy, the crisis in the Chinese property market and the consequent erosion of demand. Aluminum was partly buoyed by the energy crisis, geopolitical tensions and low levels of storage. However, these factors were insufficient to offset the loss of demand, keeping prices at low levels. Lithium and polysilicon prices also continue to experience strong downward pressure due to the entry of substantial new supply in the market. The expected demand for these materials remains strong, however, reflecting the impact of policies to stimulate the green economy. The pace of recovery in the global economy will be crucial in determining the timing of the energy transition and the consequent acceleration of demand for the necessary materials.

In the 3rd Quarter of 2023, electricity demand decreased slightly in Italy compared with the same period of the previous year (-1.0%). The decline recorded in Spain was more marked (-2.7%). Demand in both countries is still depressed due to the high prices recorded last year, which still weigh on demand growth. The decrease in both countries is more evident when comparing the final figures for the first nine months of the two years, which came to -3.4% and -4.0% respectively.

By contrast, demand in Brazil and Colombia is growing, with increases of 4.0% and 3.1% respectively compared with the first nine months of 2022. At the same time, however, Chile and the United States recorded small declines of 1.0% and 1.9% respectively.

Electricity prices fell steeply in the 3rd Quarter of 2023, driven by sharp declines in gas and coal prices, combined with strong renewables generation. This dynamic was very marked in Italy, where prices decreased by over 70% compared with last year. The decline in Spain was smaller (around 30% compared with the 3rd Quarter of 2022), thanks to the regulatory measures introduced in 2022 which had limited price growth.

In Italy, demand for natural gas in the 3rd Quarter of 2023 declined by 5.0% compared with the same period of the previous year, while the reduction for the first nine months is more marked, at 13.5%. In Spain, demand fell by 10.7% compared with the 3rd Quarter of 2022, in line with the contraction of 10.8% for the first nine months of the year. The decreases trend recorded in these two countries since the beginning of the year was mainly caused by the decline in industrial output, which is struggling to revive, lower demand for heating due to the mild winter and a decrease in gas-fired generation as new renewables capacity has entered service.

The demand for natural gas in Italy in the 3rd Quarter of 2023 stood at 11.4 billion cubic meters, a decline compared with the same period of 2022. The quarter experienced an increase in demand in the industrial sector (+3.8%), offset by a decline in demand for distribution networks (-3.7%) and for thermal generation (-9.2%). The balance for the first nine months showed a contraction compared with 2022 (-13.5%), with the demand for gas down markedly in all sectors.

Significant events in the 3rd Quarter of 2023

Enel Group signs deal for the sale of a photovoltaic generation portfolio in Chile to Sonnedix

On July 12, 2023, Enel SpA and its subsidiary Enel Chile SA signed a share purchase agreement with Sonnedix Chile Arcadia SpA and Sonnedix Chile Arcadia Generación SpA, both of which are controlled by the international renewable energy producer Sonnedix, for the sale of the entire equity interests held by Enel (about 0.009%) and Enel Chile (about 99.991%) in the share capital of Arcadia Generación Solar SpA, a Chilean company which owns a portfolio of four operating photovoltaic (PV) plants with a total installed capacity of approximately 416 MW.

On October 25, 2023, following the fulfillment of all conditions set out in the share purchase agreement signed on July 12, 2023, including clearance from the Chilean antitrust authority Fiscalía Nacional Económica (FNE), Enel SpA and Enel Chile SA closed the sale of their entire holdings in the share capital of Arcadia Generación Solar SA. Pursuant to the above agreement, the purchaser paid a total of \$556 million (equivalent to about €525 million), corresponding to 100% of the enterprise value agreed by the parties.

Enel finalizes joint venture deal with INPEX Corporation by selling 50% of Enel Green Power Australia

On September 29, 2023, Enel SpA, acting through its wholly-owned subsidiary Enel Green Power SpA, closed the sale to INPEX Corporation (INPEX) of 50% of two entities that own all of the Group's renewables operations in Australia, namely Enel Green Power Australia (Pty) Ltd and Enel Green Power Australia Trust. The sale was closed following the fulfillment of all conditions set out in the sale agreement signed on July 13, 2023.

In line with the above agreement, INPEX paid a total of about €142 million, equivalent to an enterprise value of €426 million on a 100% basis.

Upon the transaction's closing, Enel Green Power SpA and INPEX will jointly control Enel Green Power Australia, overseeing the company's current renewable generation portfolio and continuing to develop its project pipeline, seeking to increase its installed capacity.

(3) The figure reflects a more accurate calculation of the aggregate.

(4) Of which 27.9 million second-generation meters in the first nine months of 2023 and 24.9 million in the first nine months of 2022.

(5) If the figures also included charging points of joint ventures, they would amount to 25,797 at September 30, 2023 and 22,617 at December 31, 2022.

Net electricity generated by Enel in the first nine months of 2023 decreased by 16.0 TWh compared with the same period of 2022 (-9.2%), reflecting a decline in thermal generation (-25.4 TWh), mainly in Europe, Argentina, Spain, Italy, Chile and Russia. For the latter, this reflected the full deconsolidation of the companies present in that country, which produced a decrease in electricity generation of 10.2 TWh and a reduction in nuclear generation of 1.1

TWh. Net of changes attributable to the disposal of assets connected with the disposal plan announced previously, generation was virtually unchanged (+0.9%). Remaining renewables generation increased by 10.5 TWh compared with the same period of 2022, notably hydroelectric output (+7.2 TWh), mainly in Italy, Colombia and Chile, and solar generation (+2.9 TWh), mainly in Spain, Chile and the United States.

Electricity transported on Enel's distribution grid in the first nine months of 2023 Totald 369.1 TWh, down 18.1 TWh (-4.7%) compared with the same period of 2022, mainly in Brazil (-9.7 TWh), Italy (-8.7 TWh) and Chile (-2.3 TWh), only partially offset by an increase in electricity transported in Spain (+1.9 TWh) and Argentina (+0.7 TWh).

Electricity sold by Enel in the first nine months of 2023 amounted to 228.8 TWh, a decrease of 13.5 TWh (-6%) on the same period of 2022. More specifically, quantities mainly decreased on the regulated market in Italy (-5.7 TWh), in Brazil (-7.3 TWh) due to the sale of Celg Distribuição SA - Celg-D (Enel Goiás) in 2022 and in Spain

(-0.7 TWh). This change was only partially offset by the increases recorded in Argentina (+0.6 TWh), Chile (+0.1 TWh) and Peru (+0.2 TWh).

Gas sold by Enel in the first nine months of 2023 Totald 6 billion cubic meters, a decrease of 1.5 billion cubic meters on the year-earlier period (-20%).

The Enel Group workforce at September 30, 2023 numbered 65,212, of whom 33,358 were employed in companies outside of Italy. The increase of 88 in the first nine months of 2023 reflects the balance between new hires and terminations (+633) and the change in the consolidation scope (-545), essentially connected with the sale of assets in Argentina, India and Australia.

(1) The ordinary income statement does not include non-recurring items. The summary of results presents a reconciliation of reported figures with ordinary figures for the following aggregates: gross operating profit, operating profit, and profit for the period (attributable to owners of the Parent).

(2) The figures for the first nine months of 2022 have been adjusted, for comparative purposes only, to take account of the classification under the item "Profit/ (Loss) from discontinued operations" of revenue connected with the assets held in Russia (which were sold in 2022), Romania and Greece as the requirements of IFRS 5 for their classification as discontinued operations have been met. For more details, please see note 5 to the condensed consolidated quarterly financial statements at September 30, 2023.

(3) For a more accurate representation, the taxes relating to ordinary items in the first nine months of 2022 have been adjusted to take account of the extraordinary nature of the solidarity levy recognized during the first nine months of 2022 in the total amount of €69 million. This adjustment also involved the recalculation of "Profit attributable to owners of the Parent" and the amount "attributable to owners of the Parent" for the same period.

(4) The figures for the first nine months of 2022 have been adjusted to take account of the effects of the amendment of IAS 12, which entered force as from January 1, 2023.

(1) The figures for the first nine months of 2022 have been adjusted, for comparative purposes only, to take account of the classification under the item "Profit/ (Loss) from discontinued operations" of revenue connected with the assets held in Russia (which were sold in 2022), Romania and Greece as the requirements of IFRS 5 for their classification as discontinued operations have been met.

Revenue decreased in the first nine months of 2023, reflecting both a decline in the quantity of electricity sold on the wholesale and retail markets and a decrease in the average sales prices of commodities, which also significantly impacted the valuation of sales contracts with physical settlement.

The reduction in revenue also reflected the effects of the deconsolidation of a number of companies sold during the 2nd Half of 2022 (specifically, Enel Transmisión Chile, Celg Distribuição SA - Celg-D (Enel Goiás) and CGT Fortaleza in Brazil), the effect of which was only partially offset by an increase in revenue from renewables operations, especially in Colombia and Italy from hydro plants and in Latin America from wind and solar plants.

During the first nine months of 2023, the Group also recognized income of €103 million from the partial sale with loss of control of assets in Australia and end-of-concession income recognized by Enel CIEN of €99 million. These effects were more than offset by the impact of the recognition in the first nine months of 2022 of the proceeds on the sale of UFINET (€220 million) and the sale by Enel X Srl of companies in the financial sector to Mooney (€67 million).

Developments in costs during the period essentially reflected the same factors addressed in the comments on revenue item concerning the decrease in quantities generated and purchased as well as the decline in the prices of commodities used for generation and/or sales activities. Note also that the item "Capital losses and other costs on the disposal of equity investments" for the first nine months of 2023 essentially reports charges recognized following the disposals of Enel Generación Costanera (€132 million) and Central Dock Sud (€194 million), while in 2022 the figure mainly regarded the capital loss recognized on the sale of CGT Fortaleza in Brazil (€134 million).

Finally, "Extraordinary solidarity levies" regard to the levy recognized in the 1st Quarter of 2023 in Spain following its introduction with Law 38 of December 27, 2022.

Net results from commodity contracts

Net results from commodity contracts connected with hedging operations in the first nine months of 2023 declined by €4,433 million, mainly due to fluctuations in market prices.

Ordinary gross operating profit increased by €3,715 million on the same period of the previous year despite the negative effects of the change in the consolidation scope connected with the sale of certain assets during the first nine months of 2023. The increase mainly reflected the performance of the integrated business (the combination of Thermal Generation and Trading, Enel Green Power, End-user Markets, Enel X and Enel X Way), which benefitted from the gradual stabilization of the commodity markets, posting an improvement in ordinary gross operating profit of about €3,301 million, essentially attributable to the improvement in the performance of sales on End-user Markets, mainly in Italy and Spain, which reflected the normalization of margins compared with the first nine months of 2022, a period characterized by significant price instability. With regard to generation, the increase in renewables output (+10.5 TWh), in particular from hydro sources, together with the change in the trend in sales prices in trading activities, substantially offset the effects of the decrease in quantities of electricity produced from conventional sources and the recognition of the clawback in Italy (€357 million).

These effects do not include the recognition in the first nine months of 2023 of the proceeds from the partial sale of the net assets of companies in Australia, India and South Africa for a total of €92 million and, in the first nine months of 2022, of the proceeds from the partial sale of the equity investments referred to earlier (Ufinet and a number of Enel X financial companies to Mooney Group SpA).

The ordinary gross operating profit of Enel Grids rose by €751 million, essentially reflecting rate adjustments in Brazil and Italy, the end-of-concession payment of €99 million received by Enel CIEN and the recognition in Romania of price differences on quantities connected with grid losses, as well as the positive effect of a decline in costs connected with the repurchase of electricity for grid losses, since average prices in 2023 were lower than those in the same period of 2022 (€304 million). The increase already does not include the effects of the change in scope connected with the sales at the end of 2022 of Celg Distribuição SA - Celg-D (Enel Goiás) and Enel Transmisión Chile (a total of €200 million).

Gross operating profit/(loss)

Gross operating profit amounted to €15,220 million in the first nine months of 2023 (€12,327 million in the first nine months of 2022).

Non-recurring items included in gross operating profit at September 30, 2023 mainly regarded the capital losses on the disposals of Central Dock Sud (€194 million) and Enel Generación Costanera (€132 million), the sale of the El Chocón generators (€14 million) and the extraordinary solidarity levies recognized in Spain (€208 million). Gross operating profit does not include the operating results of discontinued operations, which are recognized in a separate income statement item as required by IFRS 5 for net assets classified as discontinued operations.

Ordinary operating profit in the first nine months of 2023 increased by €3,644 million, substantially in line with ordinary gross operating profit, taking account of the fact that the increase in amortization and depreciation in the period associated with the entry into service of new plants built in the last 12 months was essentially offset by a decline in writedowns of trade receivables.

Operating profit/(loss)

Non-recurring items included in operating profit and not reported in the table for gross operating profit also include the recognition of impairment on the net assets of US geothermal companies reclassified as held for sale (€33 million), partly offset by the writeback of the Cartagena plant in Colombia (€29 million). In addition, in the first nine months of 2022 net writedowns regarded Celg Distribuição SA - Celg-D (Enel Goiás) (distribution company in the Brazilian state of Goiás) and CGT Fortaleza in Brazil in the respective amounts of €824 million and €73 million.

Profit/(Loss) from discontinued operations

In the first nine months of 2023, profit/(loss) from discontinued operations includes the performance figures for the discontinued operations of the companies in Romania and Greece that meet the requirements of "IFRS 5 - Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations". More specifically, the reported values include the effects of the recognition of an additional value adjustment on the Romanian companies (€177 million net of taxation) in order to align their carrying amount at September 30, 2023 with the estimated realizable value determined on the basis of the agreements reached with the counterparty in the disposal. For more information on the reclassification of the income statement items to enhance their comparability with the figures for the first nine months of 2022, please see note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2023.

Group ordinary profit/(loss)

Group ordinary profit for the first nine months of 2023 amounted to €5,033 million, an increase of €1,987 million compared with the €3,046 million registered in the same period of the previous year (+65.2%).

In particular, the increase in ordinary operating profit was only partially offset by an increase in net financial expense connected with both the rise in interest rates and the increase in average financial debt in the two periods under comparison. In absolute terms, tax liabilities also increased as a result of the improvement in pre-tax profit, while the tax rate was broadly in line with that recorded in the first nine months of 2022.

Finally, ordinary profit achieved in the first nine months of 2023 benefitted from a larger contribution to the Group compared with that recorded in the first nine months of 2022 from the improved performance recorded in Italy and Latin America in particular.

Group profit/(loss)

Group profit in the first nine months of 2023 came to €4,253 million (€1,758 million in the same period of 2022), an increase of €2,495 million on the year-earlier period. The following table provides a reconciliation of Group profit with Group ordinary profit for the first nine months of 2023, indicating the non-recurring items and their respective impact on performance, net of the associated tax effects and non-controlling interests.

(1) For a more accurate representation, the taxes relating to ordinary items in the first nine months of 2022 have been adjusted to take account of the extraordinary nature of the solidarity levy recognized during the first nine months of 2022 in the total amount of €69 million. This adjustment also involved the recalculation of "Ordinary profit attributable to owners of the Parent" and the amount "attributable to owners of the Parent" for the same period.

(2) The figures for the first nine months of 2022 have been adjusted to take account of the effects of the amendment of IAS 12, which entered force as from January 1, 2023.

Total equity 48,548 42,080(1) 6,468 15.4%
Net financial debt 63,312 60,068 3,244 5.4%

(1) The figures at December 31, 2022 have been adjusted to take account of the effects of the amendment of IAS 12, which entered force as from January 1, 2023.

Net capital employed at September 30, 2023 amounted to €111,860 million and was funded by equity attributable to the owners of the Parent and non-controlling interests in the amount of €48,548 million and net financial debt of €63,312 million. At September 30, 2023, the debt/equity ratio was 1.30 (1.43 at December 31, 2022). The increase in net capital employed mainly reflected:

• an increase in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (€1,512 million), mainly due to capital expenditure in the period (€8,166 million) and the hyperinflation adjustment in Argentina (€1,083 million), offset in part by amortization and depreciation in the first nine months of 2023 (€4,568 million) and the reclassification under assets held for sale (a total of €4,205 million) of the property, plant and equipment and intangible assets mainly held by the Peruvian companies and the geothermal companies operating in the United States;

• an increase in net working capital as a result of the reduction of trade payables, primarily reflecting the decline in commodity prices and a larger liability at December 2022 for dividends to be paid (reported under "other net current assets/(liabilities)"). These factors were partially offset by the effects of the restoration in 2023 of system charges in Italy (reported under "net receivables due from institutional market operators").

The reclassification of the net assets – mainly regarding property, plant and equipment and intangible assets – of the Peruvian and US companies operating in the geothermal sector among net assets held for sale increased the item "Net assets held for sale" by €3,611 million.

Total equity at September 30, 2023 increased by €6,468 million. More specifically, equity attributable to owners of the Parent increased by €5,749 million, mainly reflecting profit for the period (€4,253 million), the positive impact of OCI reserves (€1,746 million), notably the cash flow hedge reserves, the change in the reserve for perpetual hybrid bonds (€986 million), the monetary revaluation of €350 million in Argentina connected with its status as a hyperinflationary economy and the increase in the translation reserve (€622 million) in reflection of the appreciation of foreign currencies against the euro. These positive factors were partly offset by dividends distributed in the first nine months of 2023 in the amount of €2,188 million (including coupons paid to holders of hybrid bonds totaling €156 million).

Equity attributable to non-controlling interests increased by €719 million, primarily reflecting profit for the period (€835 million), the increase in OCI reserves (€586 million) and the monetary revaluation recognized in Argentina for hyperinflation (€248 million). These factors were partly offset by dividends distributed in the period (€876 million).

Net financial debt at September 30, 2023 amounted to €63,312 million (not including the position in respect of assets classified as available for sale in the total amount of €1,260 million), while at December 31, 2022 net financial debt Totald €60,068 million (not including the position in respect of assets classified as available for sale in the amount of €892 million), an increase of €3,244 million (+5.4%). More specifically, the positive cash flow generated by operations and the sale of a number of investments no longer considered strategic (in particular, Central Dock Sud, Enel Generación Costanera and the Australian companies), the issue of new perpetual hybrid bonds in the total amount of €986 million and the effects of net costs associated with the reclassification of certain assets as available for sale partially offset the funding requirements of investments in the period (€9,016 million(2)), the payment of dividends totaling €5,148 million(3) and adverse exchange rate developments (€1,036 million).

At September 30, 2023, gross financial debt amounted to €77,369 million, a decrease of €12,049 million compared with December 31, 2022.

Sustainable financing/Total gross debt (%) 62% 63%

More specifically, gross long-term financial debt (including the short-term portion) amounted to €70,448 million, of which €44,813 million in respect of sustainability-linked financing. It breaks down as follows:

  • bonds in the amount of €51,253 million, of which €31,286 million in sustainable bonds, a decrease of €438 million on December 31, 2022, reflecting repayments and the bonds of the Peruvian companies classified as held for sale during 2023. The decline was partially offset by negative exchange rate developments and new issues, mainly represented by a sustainability-linked bond of €1,500 million issued by Enel Finance International in February 2023;
  • bank borrowings in the amount of €16,094 million, of which €13,527 million in sustainability-linked financing, a decrease of €57 million on December 31, 2022;
  • other borrowings in the amount of €3,101 million, a decrease of €83 million on December 31, 2022.

Gross short-term financial debt amounted to €6,921 million, a decrease of €11,471 million on December 31, 2022. The change mainly reflects a contraction in commercial paper from €13,838 million to €2,958 million and in other short-term financing from €1,721 million to €467 million.

Cash and cash equivalents and long and short-term financial assets amounted to €13,931 million, a decrease of €14,824 million on December 31, 2022, mainly reflecting a decline of €7,272 million in current account balances and short-term securities and €4,894 million in cash collateral paid.

Net exchange rate derivatives connected with borrowings regard the fair value of hedging instruments on loans denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. The item showed a positive balance of €126 million at September 30, 2023 and €595 million at December 31, 2022.

(2) Includes €605 million regarding units classified as "held for sale" or "discontinued operations" and adjusted by the NRRP grant of €348 million, which will be used to support future investments in the distribution grid.

(3) Includes €156 million in coupon payments to holder of perpetual hybrid bonds.

(1) The figure does not include €605 million regarding units classified as "held for sale" or "discontinued operations" in the first nine months of 2023 (€47 million in the first nine months of 2022).

Capital expenditure amounted to €8,759 million in the first nine months of 2023, a decrease of €550 million on the same period of the previous year. Capital expenditure on the distribution grid decreased in Brazil (€264 million), Romania (€85 million), Peru (€56 million), Argentina (€24 million) and Chile (€18 million), only partly offset by increases in Italy (€322 million) and Spain (€38 million), mainly for upgrades, maintenance, quality remote control activities and smart grids. In addition, the Enel Group, guided by efficiency and energy transition objectives, continued to invest above all in renewable energy systems. Specifically, increased spending was recorded in Italy (€611 million) for BESS technologies and solar plants, in Brazil (€283 million), in Colombia (€108 million) and in Spain (€53 million). These increases were offset by a decrease in spending in the United States (€770 million), in Canada (€163 million), in Chile (€134 million) and in India (€55 million). The increase in capital expenditure by Enel X was primarily registered in Italy, with €35 million for the e-City business, and in Latin America, with €26 million for the Distributed Energy, e-City and e-Home businesses. Capital expenditure declined in the End-user Markets segment, especially in Italy (€114 million) and Spain (€45 million) as a result of a decline in the activation of customer connections.

In 2023, the Group in Italy received a grant of €348 million under the NRRP, which will be used for future investments in distribution grids.

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.

The following chart outlines these organizational arrangements.

Thermal generation decreased by 26,475 million kWh in the first nine months of 2023 compared with the same period of 2022, due in part to the increase in renewable generation, particularly from hydroelectric sources.

The decreases of 6,142 kWh in fuel-oil and turbo-gas generation and 13,831 million kWh in combined-cycle generation are mainly attributable to Russia following the sale of the entire equity interest held in PJSC Enel Russia, as well as to the deconsolidation of the Argentine companies Enel Generación Costanera and Central Dock Sud.

The decrease of 5,435 million kWh in coal-fired generation is attributable to Italy (4,357 million kWh), Latin America (1,028 million kWh) and Iberia (51 million kWh), while the decrease of 1,067 million kWh in nuclear generation is attributable to Spain.

The decrease of €1,691 million in ordinary gross operating profit is mainly attributable to the decrease in thermal power generation, combined with a reduction in the average prices applied in the first nine months of 2023 compared with the same period of the previous year. The decline also reflects the change in the consolidation scope with the sales of Enel Generación Costanera and Central Dock Sud in Argentina.

Gross operating profit amounted to €2,439 million (€4,227 million in the first nine months of 2022). In addition to the factors mentioned in relation to ordinary gross operating profit, the decrease also reflects the different impact of extraordinary items (97 million).

In particular, in the first nine months of 2023 they amounted to €349 million and regarded the charges connected with the sale of Enel Generación Costanera and Central Dock Sud in Argentina, while in the first nine months of 2022 the extraordinary items amounted to €252 million, mainly regarding the charges associated with the sale of CGT Fortaleza in Brazil and the closure of the Bocamina II power plant in Chile.

The increase in revenue is mainly attributable to the increase in the volume of electricity generated by hydroelectric plants, especially in Italy and Colombia, in addition to an increase in quantities generated by wind and solar plants that entered service during the period, mainly in Latin America. Note that during the first nine months of 2023 the Group recognized income of €103 million from the partial sale with loss of control of assets in Australia.

The increase in ordinary gross operating profit in the first nine months of 2023, recorded primarily in Italy, Chile, Iberia and Colombia, essentially reflects an increase in renewable generation, notably from hydro power, and the normalization of margins compared with the first nine months of 2022, which had experienced considerable price instability. Another factor was the positive impact of the income of €103 million from the partial sale with loss of control of assets in Australia.

These factors were partially offset by the greater impact of the clawback in Italy (357 million).

Gross operating profit came to €3,426 million (€1,968 million in the first nine months of 2022) and includes the loss on the sale of the El Chocón generators in Argentina (€14 million) and excludes the ordinary earnings of discontinued operations in the two periods analyzed.

The increase in ordinary operating profit reflects the factors described above in relation to ordinary gross operating profit. Compared with the same period of the previous year, we report an increase of €109 million in depreciation as a result of bringing new plants online during the period.

Operating profit amounted to €2,205 million, a rise of €1,325 million on the first nine months of 2022, essentially reflecting the factors described above in relation to gross operating profit and ordinary operating profit, as well as the impairment losses recognized on a number of geothermal and solar plants in the United States that were reclassified as held for sale in the 3rd Quarter of 2023.

Capital expenditure in the first nine months of 2023 decreased by €249 million compared with the same period of the previous year. In particular, the change was essentially attributable to:

  • a decrease of €942 million in North America, mainly in wind and solar plants;
  • a decrease of €85 million in Africa, Asia and Oceania, related mainly to the reduction in spending on solar plants in India and wind and solar plants in Australia;
  • a decrease in capital expenditure on wind and solar plants in Europe;
  • an increase of €611 million in Italy, mainly in the battery and solar plant segments;
  • an increase of €147 million in Latin America, primarily in solar plants in Brazil and Colombia and wind plants in Brazil and Chile;
  • an increase of €87 million in Iberia, attributable mainly to solar plants.

The decrease in revenue is attributable mainly to Brazil and Chile for, respectively, the sale in December 2022 of Celg Distribuição SA - Celg-D (Enel Goiás) and Enel Transmisión Chile SA, the effects of which were only partly offset by an increase in revenue:

• in Italy, as a result of the adjustment of rates for electricity distribution and metering services for non-residential customers and for rates on grid service provision for residential customers for 2023, in accordance with the Regulatory Authority for Energy, Networks and the Environment (ARERA) Resolutions no. 720/2022 and no. 721/2022 published in December 2022;

• in Iberia, as a result of the registration in 2022 of the update of the remuneration for distribution activities with ministerial decree no. TED/749/2022 of July 27, 2022, with which the rates for the years 2017, 2018 and 2019 were retroactively modified (-€180 million).

1,851 1,657 194 11.7% Total 6,058 5,307 751 14.2%

Ordinary gross operating profit increased:

  • in Europe due mainly to recognition of the price differentials on quantities related to grid losses in Romania for 2022 and 2023 (€182 million) and a decrease in costs for grid losses as a result of the decline in average prices applied compared with the same period of the previous year;
  • in Iberia as a result of a number of adverse rate developments recognized in 2022, as discussed under revenue;
  • in Latin America, in Brazil in particular reflecting the recognition of income by Enel CIEN in the amount of €99 million following the transfer, upon contract expiration, of the transmission activities managed under concession to the new concession holder, as well as to inflation-related rate adjustments and positive exchange

rate effects. These factors were partly offset by a decline in ordinary gross operating profit associated with the sale of Celg Distribuição SA - Celg-D (Enel Goiás) and Enel Transmisión Chile in the total amount of €200 million;

• in Italy, mainly as a result of rate adjustments in application of the ARERA Resolutions no. 720/2022 and no. 721/2022 as mentioned above.

Gross operating profit came to €5,745 million (€5,287 million in the first nine months of 2022), and reflects the factors described in relation to ordinary gross operating margin and the recognition under discontinued operations of the profit or loss of the net assets held in Romania (€313 million).

Ordinary operating profit/(loss)

The increase in ordinary operating profit essentially reflects the factors described in relation to ordinary gross operating profit for the period and an increase in depreciation and amortization as a result of new capital expenditure in Italy on the distribution grid.

Operating profit amounted to €3,558 million (€2,281 million in the first nine months of 2022), reflecting the factors described in relation to ordinary operating profit and the recognition under discontinued operations of the profit or loss of the assets held in Romania (€248 million).

The decrease in the volume of electricity sold in the first nine months of 2023 compared with the same period of 2022 was mainly concentrated in the regulated market in Italy, reflecting the shift of customers to the free market, and in Latin America, due to the sale at the end of 2022 of Celg Distribuição SA - Celg-D (Enel Goiás) in Brazil. The reduction in the free market, essentially attributable to the business-to-business (B2B) customer segment, was partially offset by an increase in the business-to-consumer (B2C) customer segment, mainly in Italy and Spain.

Revenue in the first nine months of 2023 decreased by 23.1%, mainly as a result of the lower quantities of electricity and gas sold and of lower average prices, primarily in Italy and Spain. In Brazil, the decline in revenue is primarily attributable to the sale of Celg Distribuição SA - Celg-D (Enel Goiás) in December 2022, partly offset by rate increases in the period.

Revenue in the first nine months of 2023 decreased by €379 million compared with the same period of 2022, mainly reflecting the impact of the recognition last year of the gain on the sale by Enel X International of a 1.1% interest in Ufinet (€220 million) and the sale by Enel X Srl of certain assets to Mooney (€67 million). In addition, 2023 saw a decrease in revenue in Colombia in respect of the e-Bus project and in Italy for activities connected with the Vivi Meglio commercial campaign and the Demand Respone business. These effects were only partially offset by an increase in revenue in Spain, mainly in the Demand Response and Distributed Energy segments.

Ordinary gross operating profit/(loss)

Ordinary gross operating profit decreased by €282 million, mainly due to the income posted in the first nine months of 2022 from the sale of the investment in Ufinet and of a number of investments to Mooney, as well as activities connected with the Vivi Meglio commercial campaign. These factors were only partially offset by the results of e-Home, e-City and Demand Response activities.

Gross operating profit came to €255 million, down €282 million. The decline reflected the factors discussed for ordinary gross operating profit and the classification of the profit or loss of the assets held in Romania under discontinued operations.

The deterioration in the ordinary gross operating loss in the first nine months of 2023 mainly reflects an increase in Italy in costs for services and in provisions for risks and charges recognized by Enel Insurance (€99 million).

The gross operating loss increased compared with the first nine months of 2022 mainly due to the extraordinary solidarity levy in Spain of €208 million, which was recognized as non-recurring, and to the factors described above in relation to ordinary gross operating profit.

Definition of performance indicators

In order to present the results of the Group and analyze its financial structure, in this Interim Financial Report at September 30, 2023, 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 consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2023. These reclassified schedules contain different performance indicators from those obtained directly from the condensed consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2023, which management believes are useful in monitoring the performance of the Group and representative of the financial performance and position of our business.

With regard to those indicators, on April 29, 2021, CONSOB issued warning notice no. 5/21, 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 indicators 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 indicators are the following.

Gross operating profit: an operating performance indicator, calculated as "Operating profit" plus "Depreciation, amortization and impairment losses".

Ordinary gross operating profit: defined as "Gross operating profit" from core business connected with the Ownership and Stewardship business models, plus the ordinary gross operating profit of discontinued operations. It does not include costs connected with corporate restructurings and any extraordinary solidarity levies charged to companies operating in the energy industry.

Ordinary operating profit: defined as "Operating profit" from core business connected with the Ownership and Stewardship business models, plus the ordinary operating profit of discontinued operations.

It is calculated by adjusting "Operating profit" for the effects of transactions not connected with core operations referred to with regard to ordinary gross operating profit and excluding significant impairment losses on assets and/ or groups of assets following impairment testing (including reversals of impairment losses) or classification under "Assets held for sale".

Group ordinary profit: it is defined as "Group profit" generated by Enel's core business connected with the Ownership and Stewardship business models.

It is equal to "Group profit" adjusted primarily by the solidarity tax on energy companies for 2022, as well as the items discussed under "Ordinary operating profit", net of any tax effects and non-controlling interests.

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

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

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

  • "Other current financial assets included in net financial debt", which include the current portion of non-current financial receivables, securities, cash collateral and other current financial receivables 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)" and "Other current financial liabilities" included in "Other current liabilities".

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

Net capital employed: calculated as the algebraic sum of "Net non-current assets" and "Net current assets", "Provisions for risks and charges", "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" and "Short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term borrowings", taking account of "Long- and short-term financial borrowings" included respectively in "Other non-current liabilities" and "Other current liabilities";
  • net of "Cash and cash equivalents";

Main changes in the scope of consolidation

In the two periods under review, the scope of consolidation changed as a result of a number of transactions. For more information, please see note 4 of the notes to the condensed consolidated quarterly financial statements at September 30, 2023.

  • net of the "Current portion of long-term loan assets", "Current securities" and "Other financial assets" included in "Other current assets";
  • net of "Non-current securities" and "Non-current financial assets" included in "Other non-current assets";
  • net of "Cash flow hedge derivative assets on exchange rates connected to loans" and ""Fair value hedge derivative assets on exchange rates connected to loans";
  • "Cash flow hedge derivative liabilities on exchange rates connected to loans" and "Fair value hedge derivative liabilities on exchange rates connected to loans".

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

Outlook

The first nine months of this year were characterized by the continuation of the restrictive policy stances adopted by central banks to counter inflationary pressures largely generated by the increase in energy prices in 2022. This environment, together with the continuing deterioration in geopolitical conditions associated with the situation in the Middle East, increases the uncertainty surrounding the outlook for global growth and the near-term normalization of commodity prices.

In this context, the top management appointed in May this year have defined the priorities of the Enel Group for the near future:

  • allocation of capital with a focus on value creation and on the optimization of the risk/return profile of investments to support future growth;
  • efficiency improvements across all activities and countries in which the Group operates through cost efficiency and optimization measures;
  • simplification of the Group structure to be pursued through the adoption of a leaner organization and a geographical focus on the six core countries identified in the 2023-2025 Strategic Plan.

The focus on financial discipline and on the improvement of cash flow generation will allow the Enel Group to optimize its integrated and sustainable development model, which is designed to effectively promote the energy transition and the fight against climate change.

In light of the solid operating performance recorded in the first nine months of 2023, the guidance for 2023 provided to the financial markets during the presentation of the 2023-2025 Strategic Plan has been revised upwards.

More specifically, ordinary EBITDA is expected to amount to between €21.5 and 22.5 billion, an increase on the previous target of €20.4-21.0 billion. Ordinary profit attributable to owners of the Parent is forecast at between €6.4 and 6.7 billion, greater than the earlier target of €6.1-6.3 billion.

The net financial debt/EBITDA ratio target of 2.4-2.5x is confirmed, considering a pro forma net financial debt adjusted to take account of planned asset disposals, whose financial impact will only be felt following completion of the ordinary authorization procedures by the competent authorities.

Accordingly, any differences with the net financial debt target for 2023 will be attributable solely to differences in the timing of completion of the asset sales compared with the schedule set out in the 2023-2025 Strategic Plan. An update of the target for net financial debt at the end of 2023 will be provided at the presentation of the new Strategic Plan on November 22.

A dividend of €0.43 per share is also confirmed for 2023, in line with the announcement in the 2023-2025 Strategic Plan.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2023

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 September 30, 2023 are the same as those adopted for the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2022 (please see the related report for more information) with the exception of new standards and a number of amendments to certain accounting standards. In particular, as from January 1, 2023 the following new standards and amendments of accounting standards have become applicable to the Enel Group.

"Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 - Disclosure of Accounting Policies", issued in February 2021. The amendments are intended to support entities in deciding which accounting policies to disclose in the financial statements.

In this respect:

  • the amendments to "IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements" require companies to disclose their material accounting policy information rather than their significant accounting policies;
  • the amendments to "IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgements" seek to provide a guide on how to apply the concept of materiality to disclosures of accounting policies.

In the absence of a definition of "significant" in the IFRSs, in the context of disclosures of accounting policies, the term has been replaced with "material". In this regard, the definition of material was changed in October 2018, and aligned with the IFRSs and the Conceptual Framework and, therefore, was largely understood by primary users of the financial statements. Disclosure of accounting policies in accordance with IAS 1 is material if, taken together with other information included in the financial statements, it can reasonably be expected to influence the decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements.

In assessing the materiality of disclosures of accounting policies, it is appropriate to consider both the amount of the transactions, other events or conditions, and their nature. However, although a transaction, other event or condition – to which the disclosure of accounting policies refers – may be material, this does not imply that the corresponding disclosure is material for the purposes of the financial statements.

The amendments to IFRS Practice Statement 2 seek to illustrate how to assess whether the disclosure of an accounting policy is material for the purposes of the financial statements, providing guidance. These amendments aim to: (i) clarify that the assessment of the materiality of disclosures of accounting policies should follow the same guide applicable in the assessment of the materiality of other disclosures, thus considering both qualitative and quantitative factors; (ii) emphasize the importance of providing disclosures of accounting policies that are specific to the Group; (iii) provide examples of situations where generic or standardized information, which summarizes or duplicates the requirements of IFRSs, can be considered disclosures of material accounting policies.

The application of the amendments has not had a material impact in these condensed consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2023, but could influence disclosures on accounting policies in the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2023.

"Amendments to IAS 8 - Definition of Accounting Estimates", issued in February 2021. The amendments clarify how companies should distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. The definition of changes in accounting estimates has been replaced with a definition of accounting estimates as "monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty". In order to clarify the interaction between an accounting policy and an accounting estimate, IAS 8 was amended to state that an accounting policy could require the measurement of items in financial statements at monetary amounts that cannot be directly observed, and therefore must be estimated (since they involve uncertainty in the measurement).

In these circumstances, accounting estimates are made to achieve the objective established by the accounting policy, including the use of judgments and assumptions

based on the most recent reliable information available. The amendments explain how valuation techniques and inputs should be used to develop accounting estimates and establish that such techniques include both measurement and estimation techniques.

To provide greater guidance, the amendments clarify that the effects on an accounting estimate of a change in an input or valuation technique are changes in accounting estimates, unless they result from the correction of prior period errors. Furthermore, changes in accounting estimates resulting from new information are not corrections of errors.

The application of the amendments has not had a material impact in these condensed consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2023.

"Amendments to IAS 12 - Income Taxes: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction", issued in May 2021. The amendments clarify that the exemption from initial recognition envisaged by the standard no longer applies to transactions that give rise to taxable and deductible temporary differences of the same amount.

The exemption from initial recognition under IAS 12 prohibits the recognition of deferred assets and liabilities relating to the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that does not constitute a business combination, and does not affect either accounting or taxable income. The changes, as illustrated, have narrowed the scope of the exception.

For transactions (e.g., leases and decommissioning provisions) subject to the amendments, the associated deferred assets and liabilities shall be recognized from the beginning of the first comparative period presented, with any cumulative effect recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings (or other component of equity) at that date. In this regard, the application of the amendments did not have a significant impact on "Retained earnings" in the opening shareholders' equity of the Enel Group at January 1, 2022.

For more information, please see section 2.

  • "IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts", issued in May 2017 in replacement of IFRS 4, essentially defines the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure criteria for insurance contracts, including reinsurance contracts issued and held. The new standard:
    • requires the provision of updated information on the obligations, risks and performance of insurance contracts;
    • improves the transparency of financial information, providing greater confidence to investors and analysts in understanding the insurance sector;
    • introduces a single accounting model for all insurance contracts.

The application of the amendments, as currently stands and in the light of the findings of the analyses performed so far, has not had a material impact in these condensed consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2023.

2. Restatement of comparative disclosures "IFRS 5 - Discontinued operations" and "IAS 12 - Income taxes"

The consolidated income statement and statement of consolidated comprehensive income in the condensed consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2023 have been adjusted to take account of:

• the presentation of discontinued operations as required by the "IFRS 5 - Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations". For more information, please refer to the note "Discontinued operations";

• the effects of the amendment to IAS 12, which entered

force as from January 1, 2023. It clarifies that the exemption from initial recognition envisaged by the standard no longer applies to transactions that give rise to taxable and deductible temporary differences of the same amount on lease and decommissioning transactions.

In addition, the amendment to IAS 12 also led to the adjustment of the consolidated statement of financial position at December 31, 2022.

3. 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 nine months of 2023 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 September 30, 2023 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 September 30, 2023 103.15%

In the first nine months of 2023, the application of IAS 29 generated net financial income from hyperinflation adjustments (gross of tax) of €289 million.

The following tables report the effects of IAS 29 on the balance at September 30, 2023 and the impact of hyperinflation on the main income statement items for the first nine months of 2023, 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.

(1) The figures for the first nine months of 2022 have been adjusted, for comparative purposes only, to take account of the classification under the item "Profit/ (Loss) from discontinued operations" of profit/(loss) connected with the assets held in Russia (which were sold in 2022), Romania and Greece as the requirements of IFRS 5 for their classification as discontinued operations have been met.

In the first nine months of 2023, revenue from the "sale of electricity" amounted to €39,537 million, a decrease of €14,623 million compared with the same period of the previous year (-27.0%). The decrease mainly reflects lower sales volumes against a background of decreasing electricity sales prices, mainly in Italy (€8,963 million) and Spain (€5,775 million), reflecting the stabilization of markets.

The decrease in revenue from the "sale and transport of gas" (-€515 million compared with the first nine months of 2022) is mainly attributable to a decrease in quantities mainly in Spain (€609 million) and a decline in wheeling revenue, mainly as a result of the application of the rate component in favor of end users provided for in the Regulatory Authority for Energy, Networks and the Environment (ARERA) Resolution no. 148/2022/R/gas in Italy. These factors were partly offset by the adjustment of offers to market prices (through indexing or amendment of contract terms).

Revenue from the "sale of fuel" decreased by €2,370 million, reflecting the decline in gas sales prices. This factor was partly offset by an increase in sales in Spain.

The decrease in the "sale of commodities under contracts with physical settlement" measured at fair value through profit or loss within the scope of IFRS 9 (€24,961 million), partly offset by the positive movement in the results from the measurement of contracts settled compared with the first nine months of 2022 (+€6,211 million), mainly regards the sale of 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.

The gain on sale of entities in the first nine months of 2023 amounted to €210 million, mainly accounted for by the income recognized by Enel CIEN (in Brazil) of €99 million for the end-of-concession indemnity received for the takeover of the concession by another entity and the overall income of €104 million from the partial sale with loss of control of assets held in Australia. At September 30, 2022 the item reported the gain of €220 million from the sale of Ufinet and the sale by Enel X Srl of companies operating in the financial industry to Mooney (€67 million).

(1) The figures for the first nine months of 2022 have been adjusted, for comparative purposes only, to take account of the classification under the item "Profit/ (Loss) from discontinued operations" of profit/(loss) connected with the assets held in Russia (which were sold in 2022), Romania and Greece as the requirements of IFRS 5 for their classification as discontinued operations have been met.

"Electricity purchases" decreased due to a decrease in volumes purchased and a decline in average prices compared with the first nine months of 2022, mainly in Italy (€15,299 million) and Spain (€4,223 million). The item includes the result of the fair value measurement of contracts for the purchase of electricity with physical settlement closed in the first nine months of 2023, which registered an increase of €738 million on the same period of 2022.

The decrease in "consumption of fuel for electricity generation" mainly reflects a decrease in average provisioning prices on the same period of 2022, notably in Italy and Spain.

The decrease in costs for "fuel for trading and gas for sale to end users" essentially reflects commodity price effects, gas in particular, and developments in volumes handled, mainly in Italy and Spain. This decrease also reflected the impact (€845 million) of the renegotiation of natural gas supply contracts with the Algerian state oil company Sonatrach.

The item includes the results from the fair value measurement of gas purchase contracts with physical settlement closed in the first nine months of 2023, which increased by €3,766 million compared with the corresponding period of 2022.

The decrease in costs for "materials" was mainly due to a decline in purchases of CO2 allowances as a result of a decrease in thermal generation.

In the first nine months of 2023, "personnel" costs amounted to €3,719 million, an increase of €260 million (+7.5%).

The change mainly reflects an increase in costs for salaries, wages and other remuneration personnel (€131 million), mainly due to new hiring in Italy and Spain, and an increase in costs linked to the adjustment of provisions for early retirement incentives in Italy (€106 million).

The Enel Group workforce at September 30, 2023 numbered 65,212, of whom 33,358 were employed outside

Italy. In the first nine months of 2023, the Group workforce increased by 88, reflecting the positive balance between new hires and terminations (+633) and the change in the consolidation scope (-545), mainly connected with:

  • the sale of Enel Generación Costanera in Argentina;
  • the sale of Central Dock Sud SA in Argentina;
  • the sale of USME ZE SAS and Fontibón ZE SAS in Colombia;
  • the sale of Avikiran Solar India Private Limited in India;
  • the sale of Enel Green Power Australia in Australia.

The overall change compared with December 31, 2022 breaks down as follows:

Balance at December 31, 2022 65,124
Hirings 3,383
Terminations (2,750)
Change in consolidation scope (545)
Balance at September 30, 2023 65,212

The decrease of €981 million in costs for "services, leases and rentals" compared with the first nine months of 2022 mainly reflected:

  • a decrease of €653 million in costs for wheeling, mainly in Italy as a result the application of the rate component in favor of end users provided for in ARERA Resolution no. 148/2022/R/gas, and in Spain as a reduction in rates;
  • a decrease in costs for service concessions in Brazil (€195 million);
  • a decrease in costs for services connected with the electricity and gas business.

The decrease in "depreciation, amortization and impairment losses" in the first nine months of 2023 essentially reflects:

  • a decrease in impairment losses on trade receivables, mainly in Italy;
  • impairment losses recognized on the net assets of Celg Distribuição SA - Celg-D (Enel Goiás) (€824 million) and impairment losses recognized on CGT Fortaleza in Brazil (€73 million) in 2022.

These effects were partly offset:

• by an increase in greater depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets as a result of new investment, especially in the renewable energy and distribution sectors;

• by impairment losses recognized on certain geothermal and solar companies in North America (€33 million).

"Other costs connected with electrical and gas system" increased by €257 million, essentially due to an increase in the impact of the Bono Social subsidy scheme in Spain (€246 million), primarily reflecting the effect of the grant in 2022 on compensation of €152 million following ruling no. 202/2022 of the Supreme Court.

"Capital losses and other charges on the sale of equity investments" in the first nine months of 2023 essentially include the capital losses on the sale of Enel Generación Costanera (€132 million) and Central Dock Sud (€194 million). The figure for the first nine months of 2022 mainly reflected the loss on the sale of CGT Fortaleza in Brazil (€134 million).

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

The increase in "other operating expenses" essentially reflects the rise in provisions for risks and charges recognized by Enel Insurance (€99 million).

7.c Net results from commodity contracts – €(2,339) million

Net results from commodity contracts showed net expense of €2,339 million in the first nine months of 2023 (net income of €2,094 in the same period of 2022) and break down as follows:

• net expense from commodity derivatives in the amount of €1,768 million (net income of €1,424 million in the first nine months of 2022), relating to derivatives designated as cash flow hedges and derivatives measured at fair value through profit or loss. In particular, net expense from derivatives settled in the period amounted to €2,281 million (net income of €3,034 million in the first nine months of 2022) and the net fair value gain on outstanding derivatives came to €513 million (net expense of €1,610 million in the first nine months of 2022);

• a net fair value loss on energy commodity sale and purchase contracts with physical settlement still outstanding at the reporting date amounting to €571 million (net gain of €670 million in the first nine months of 2022).

7.d Net financial income/(expense) – €(2,496) million

Net financial expense increased by €800 million on the same period of 2022. The change mainly reflects the following factors:

• an increase of €850 million in interest and other expense on financial debt, reflecting the combined impact of the increase in interest rates and that in average debt in the period;

• an increase of €1,372 million in net exchange gains, almost entirely offset by an increase in net financial expense on derivatives.

7.e Share of profit/(loss) of equity-accounted investments – €30 million

The pro-rata share of the profit/(loss) pertaining to owners of the Parent Company of equity-accounted investments in the first nine months of 2023 was a positive €30 million. It mainly regarded Rusenergosbyt (€47 million), GNL Chile SA (€8 million) and the Spanish companies (€14 million), partially offset by the losses posted by Mooney (€24 million) and the Kino project companies (€13 million).

This item decreased by €25 million compared with the first nine months of 2022, essentially reflecting the reduction in the pro-rata share of the results of Mooney (€16 million), PowerCrop (€6 million) and the North American companies (€6 million). These effects were partially offset by the increase in the pro-rata results of Gridspertise Srl (€4 million) and GNL Chile (€4 million).

7.f Income taxes – €2,431 million

Income taxes in the first nine months of 2023 came to €2,431 million, up €860 million compared with the same period of 2022.

The effective income tax rate for the first nine months of 2023 was 33%, compared with 35.5% in the first nine months of 2022.

The decrease in the effective rate in the first nine months of 2023 on the same period of 2022 essentially reflects the following items:

  • the effect of the impact of impairment losses in the first nine months of 2022 (essentially regarding Celg Distribuição SA - Celg-D (Enel Goiás));
  • the tax effect of hyperinflation in Argentina;

• an increase in costs incurred in the first nine months of 2022 in Italy in respect of the extraordinary tax imposed to fund measures countering high energy costs for consumers.

These factors were partially offset by:

  • the change in the impact of mergers and acquisitions in the first nine months of 2023 compared with the same period of 2022;
  • the non-deductibility of the extraordinary solidarity levy in Spain;
  • deferred tax assets recognized in 2022 on the carve-out of the e-Mobility business in North America.

Assets

8.a Non-current assets – €146,929 million

Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, including investment property, amounted to €107,647 million at September 30, 2023, an increase of €1,512 million. The rise mainly reflects investments in the period (€8,166 million), exchange gains (€401 million), hyperinflation effects in Argentina (€1,083 million gross of the impact on depreciation and amortization), new lease contracts (€267 million) and the capitalization of interest on loans obtained specifically for investments in property, plant and equipment (€173 million). These impacts were partially offset by depreciation, amortization and impairment losses on those assets (€4,548 million) and assets reclassified as held for sale (€4,205 million), mainly the companies in Peru.

Goodwill amounted to €13,196 million, a decrease of €546 million that mainly reflected the reclassification of the generation and distribution assets in Peru and the associated liabilities to assets held for sale (€570 million) and the reclassification of Arcadia Generación Solar in Chile to assets held for sale (€46 million). This reduction is partially offset by exchange gains recorded in Brazil.

Equity-accounted investments amounted to €1,548 million, an increase of €267 million on the end of 2022. The rise is mainly attributable to:

  • the positive impact of the change in the consolidation scope (€176 million), which mainly reflected:
    • the recognition of investments in the joint ventures of Enel Green Power Australia (€142 million), following the sale to INPEX Corporation of 50% of these companies, which were previously held as subsidiaries and classified as held for sale;
    • the recognition of the investment in the associate Avikiran Solar India Private Limited (€29 million) following the sale to Norfund of 49% of the company previously held, which led to the loss of control;
  • the change in OCI reserves for cash flow hedge derivatives (€98 million), relating mainly to Slovak Power Holding, parent company of Slovenské elektrárne;
  • profit pertaining to owners of the Parent Company (€30 million), mainly regarding Rusenergosbyt, GNL Chile SA and the Spanish companies, partially offset by the loss posted by Mooney and the Kino project companies.

These positive factors were partly offset by the distribution of dividends (€24 million), especially by the Spanish companies, and adverse exchange rate developments.

Other non-current assets include:

Deferred tax assets(1) 9,505 11,175 (1,670) -14.9%
Non-current receivables and securities included in net financial debt 3,889 4,213 (324) -7.7%
Other non-current financial assets 8,370 8,116 254 3.1%
Receivables due from institutional market operators 379 282 97 34.4%
Other long-term receivables 2,395(2) 2,712(3) (317) -11.7%
Total 24,538 26,498 (1,960) -7.4%

(1) The figure at December 31, 2022 for deferred tax assets have been adjusted €250 million to take account of the amendment of IAS 12, which took effect as from January 1, 2023.

(2) The item includes investments in contract assets of €593 million.

(3) The item includes investments in contract assets of €1,174 million.

The decline in the period is attributable to:

• a decrease in "deferred tax assets", essentially due to the decline in deferred tax assets connected with developments in the fair value of cash flow hedge derivatives, as well as the reclassification of the generation and distribution assets in Peru under assets held for sale;

• a decrease in "non-current receivables and securities included in net financial debt", mainly reflecting a decrease

in financial assets in respect of cash deposits (€588 million), largely attributable to the Endesa Group. This factor was partially offset by:

  • an increase in financial assets in respect of the deficit of the Spanish electric system (€93 million);
  • an increase in medium/long-term financial assets (€95 million), mainly connected with EFI, the Latin American companies and Enel X;
  • an increase in securities measured at FVTOCI (€53 million), in which the Dutch insurance companies invest part of their liquidity;
  • an increase in receivables due from employees (€22 million);
  • a decline in "other long-term receivables", primarily in Brazil due to the reclassification of assets in respect of service concession arrangements within the scope of IFRIC 12 to intangible assets and non-current financial assets, following the completion of the implementation

phase of the infrastructure works envisaged in the arrangements, as well as the outcome of the PIS/COFINS dispute, which resulted in the recognition of a decrease of €263 million in tax credits.

These factors were partly offset by:

  • an increase in "other non-current financial assets", due to the rise in financial assets in respect of service concession arrangements in Latin America (€601 million). This rise was partly offset by:
    • a reduction in the fair value of derivatives (€320 million), including derivatives at FVTPL (€269 million) and those designated as being in a cash flow hedge (€92 million);
    • a reduction in investments in other entities at FVOCI (€17 million);
  • an increase in "receivables due from institutional market operators" in Italy and Spain in respect of distribution activities.

8.b Current assets – €43,056 million

Inventories amounted to €4,537 million, a decrease of €316 million, mainly in Italy and Spain, essentially reflecting the decrease in inventories of fuels.

Trade receivables amounted to €15,782 million, a decrease of €823 million, mainly in Latin America, Italy and Spain, reflecting a decline in receivables for the sale and transport of gas as a result of the decrease in commodity prices.

Other current assets break down as follows:

Millions of euro
at Sept. 30,
2023
at Dec. 31,
2022
Change
Other current financial assets included in net financial debt 6,286 13,501 (7,215) -53.4%
Other current financial assets 6,293 15,082 (8,789) -58.3%
Tax assets 2,985 2,159 826 38.3%
Amounts due from institutional market operators 1,224 1,033 191 18.5%
Other short-term assets 2,193 1,789 404 22.6%
Total 18,981 33,564 (14,583) -43.4%

The decrease in the period of €14,583 million is due to:

  • a decrease in "other current financial assets included in net financial debt", attributable to the decrease in shortterm financial assets (€6,775 million), mainly reflecting the decline in cash collateral paid to counterparties in derivatives transactions, and in the current portion of long-term financial assets;
  • a decrease in "other current financial assets", mainly attributable to the decline in the fair value of derivatives in the amount of €8,841 million, in respect of derivatives at FVTPL (€7,150 million) and derivatives designated as cash flow hedges (€1,690 million).

These negative factors were partially offset by:

• an increase in "amounts due from institutional market operators", primarily attributable in Italy to amounts due from the Energy and Environmental Services Fund, mainly claimed by Servizio Elettrico Nazionale and e-distribuzione in connection with equalization mechanisms;

  • an increase in "tax assets", primarily in Italy, relating to liabilities in respect of value added tax and the estimated income tax liability for the period, taking account of periodic settlement procedures;
  • an increase in "other short-term assets", mainly regarding an increase in amounts due in respect of expired derivatives contracts and an increase in prepaid expenses, largely in respect of fees for water diversion for industrial use and items connected with personnel.

8.c Assets classified as held for sale – €10,472 million

The item reports assets measured at the lower of cost (net carrying amount) and estimated realizable value based on the current state of negotiations 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.

In the first nine months of 2023, assets classified as held for sale changed as follows with respect to December 31, 2022:

  • net assets classified as held for sale in the first nine months of 2023 included:
    • in Peru: the electricity distribution and supply activities held by Enel Distribución Perú SAA, the advanced energy services activities of Enel X Perú SAC and the generation activities held by Enel Generación Perú, Enel Green Power Peru and Enel Generación Piura as, on the basis of the negotiations in progress in the first nine months of 2023, the requirements of IFRS 5 have been met;
    • in Chile: the assets relating to Arcadia Generación Solar SA, a subsidiary of Enel Chile SA, were classified as held for sale following the signing of the share purchase agreement with Sonnedix Chile Arcadia SpA and Sonnedix Chile Arcadia Generación SpA; note that on October 25, 2023 the sale was completed at a price of about €525 million.

  • net assets classified as held for sale whose sale was finalized in the first nine months of 2023:
  • in Argentina, the generation companies Enel Generación Costanera and Central Dock Sud were sold. For more information on the financial effects of these sales, please see the section "Main changes in the consolidation scope";
  • Enel Green Power India relinquished control, in May 2023, over the net assets held through Avikiran Solar India Private Limited while maintaining a residual interest in the same company equal to 51% of its paidup share capital;

On October 25, 2023, Enel SpA completed the sale to the Greek company Public Power Corporation SA (PPC) of all the equity investments held by the Enel Group in Romania. Accordingly, the value of the net assets held in Romania was adjusted to the sale price with the recognition, in the first nine months of 2023, of an additional value adjustment of €177 million net of tax effects, which is reported in the income statement under "Profit/(Loss) result from discontinued operations".

For more information, please see the section "Subsequent events".

Equity and liabilities

8.d Equity attributable to the owners of the Parent – €34,404 million

The increase of €5,749 million in the first nine months of 2023 in equity attributable to the owners of the Parent mainly reflects profit for the period (€4,253 million), the positive impact of OCI reserves (€1,746 million), notably the cash flow hedge reserves, the change in the reserve for perpetual hybrid bonds (€986 million) and an increase of €622 million in the translation reserve due to the strengthening of foreign currencies against the euro. These positive factors were partly offset by dividends paid in the first nine months of 2023 in the amount of €2,188 million (including coupons paid to holders of perpetual hybrid bonds in the amount of €156 million).

8.e Non-current liabilities – €91,494 million

Long-term borrowings amounted to €60,941 million (€68,191 million at December 31, 2022). They consist of bonds totaling €44,380 million (€50,079 million at December 31, 2022), and bank and other borrowings of €16,561 million (€18,112 million at December 31, 2022). The item decreased by €7,250 million, largely due to:

  • a decrease of €5,699 million in bonds, mainly reflecting the reclassification of the short-term portion (€6,357 million), repayments by Enel SpA and the reclassification of the bonds of the Peruvian companies to "liabilities included in disposal groups classified as held for sale". These effects were partially offset by new issues, essentially the sustainability-linked bond issued by Enel Finance International, and adverse exchange rate developments;
  • a reduction of €1,464 million in bank borrowings, mainly reflecting the reclassification of the short-term portion (€2,309 million), repayments, especially by the Endesa Group, and the reclassification of the bank borrowings of Peruvian companies to "liabilities included in disposal groups classified as held for sale". These effects were partially offset by new borrowing, mainly by Enel Finance International and the Latin American companies, and adverse exchange rate developments.

Provisions and deferred tax liabilities amounted to €17,097 million at September 30, 2023 (€18,052 million at December 31, 2022) and include:

  • post-employment and other employee benefits totaling €2,410 million, up €208 million on December 31, 2022. The change is largely associated with the updating of actuarial assumptions by the Group at June 30, 2023 for the benefit plans of the Italian, Spanish and Latin American companies and adverse exchange rate developments;
  • provisions for risks and charges amounting to €8,246 million (of which €2,402 million at short term). The item includes, among others, the litigation provision in the amount of €700 million (€703 million at December 31, 2022), the nuclear decommissioning provision in the

amount of €549 million (€581 million at December 31, 2022) and the plant retirement and site restoration provision in the amount of €2,698 million (€2,933 million at December 31, 2022), the provision for taxes and duties in the amount of €299 million (€339 million at December 31, 2022), the provision for environmental certificates of €1,625 million (€292 million at December 31, 2022), the provision for early retirement incentives and other restructuring plans of €294 million (€423 million at December 31, 2022), which is mainly attributable to Spain and Italy, and the provision for restructuring programs connected with the energy transition of €897 million (€990 million at December 31, 2022), which represents the estimated costs that the Group has provisioned to accelerate the energy transition process for all direct and indirect activities related to the review of processes and operating models and the roles and skills of employees.

The main change in provisions for risks and charges in the first nine months of 2023 is mainly attributable to provisions accrued in the period for environmental compliance, mainly in Italy and Spain in respect of the provision for CO2 allowances, which as usual will be delivered at the end of the year;

• deferred tax liabilities amounting to €8,843 million (€9,794 million at December 31, 2022), with the decrease of €951 million mainly attributable to deferred taxation on cash flow hedge derivatives, the impact of exchange differences in Latin America and the reclassification of the deferred tax liabilities of the companies classified as held for sale or discontinued operations.

Other non-current liabilities amounted to €13,456 million (€15,887 million at December 31, 2022), a decrease of €2,431 million. The decrease essentially reflects the decline of €2,415 million in non-current financial liabilities, connected largely with the decrease in the fair value of derivatives (€2,403 million), mainly in respect of cash flow hedge derivatives (€2,084 million) and derivatives at FVTPL (€314 million).

8.f Current liabilities – €56,343 million

Short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term borrowings amounted to €16,428 million (€21,227 million at December 31, 2022). The item included short-term borrowings of €6,921 million (€18,392 million at December 31, 2022) and the current portion of long-term borrowings in the amount of €9,507 million (€2,835 million at December 31, 2022). The decrease of €4,799 million in the item compared with December 31, 2022 reflects:

• a reduction in short-term borrowings of €11,471 million, mainly due to a decrease in commercial paper issues (€10,880 million) by Enel Finance International, the Endesa Group and Enel Finance America and a decrease in the short-term financial payables of Italian companies for collections to be paid to factoring companies (€1,253 million). These effects were partially offset by an increase in cash collateral received for derivatives transactions (€466 million) and short-term bank borrowings (€197 million);

• an increase in the current portion of long-term borrowings of €6,672 million, mainly bonds (€5,261 million) and bank borrowings (€1,407 million).

Other current liabilities break down as follows:

Other 8,449 8,825 (376) -4.3%
Total 28,714 33,430 (4,716) -14.1%

The change in the period is essentially due to:

  • a decrease in "current financial liabilities", largely attributable the decline in the fair value of derivatives (€9,137 million), mainly regarding derivatives at FVTPL (€6,880 million) and cash flow hedge derivatives (€2,270 million). This was slightly offset by an increase in accrued financial liabilities (€127 million) and liabilities in respect of accrued interest to be paid (€79 million);
  • an increase in "amounts due to institutional market operators", mainly regarding Italy, specifically e-distribuzione for the progressive restoration in 2023 of charges to support renewable energy and cogeneration as well

as other charges (the Asos and Arim rate components) determined in ARERA Resolutions nos. 735/2022 and 134/23;

  • an increase in "tax liabilities", primarily regarding Italy and attributable to liabilities for value-added tax as well as estimated income taxes for the period, taking account of periodic settlement procedures;
  • a reduction in "other" liabilities, mainly attributable to the payment of dividends during the first nine months of 2023, partially offset by the increase in the current portion of provisions for environmental certificates recorded in Italy and Spain.

8.g Liabilities included in disposal groups classified as held for sale – €4,072 million

The item reports 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.

Information on the consolidated statement of cash flows

9. Cash flows

Cash flows from operating activities in the first nine months of 2023 were a positive €10,015 million, up €9,014 million on the same period in 2022, mainly attributable to decreased cash requirements connected with changes in net working capital.

Cash flows used in investing activities in the first nine months of 2023 absorbed cash in the amount of €8,642 million, compared with €10,455 million in the same period in 2022.

Investments in property, plant and equipment, intangibles and non-current contract assets came to €9,364 million in the first nine months of 2023, of which €605 million regarding units reclassified as held for sale, were recognized net of grants received (€348 million).

Tax litigation in Brazil

Withholding Tax - Ampla

In 1998, Ampla Energía 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 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 Energia e Serviços SA 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 (Enel Rio), 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 was terminated, both for the principal amount and for interest, mainly through a capital increase. The company, called to pronounce on the report filed, requests the full cancellation of the tax debt. The amount involved in the dispute at September 30, 2023 was about €271 million.

ICMS - Ampla, Coelce and Eletropaulo

The States of Rio de Janeiro, Ceará and São Paulo issued a number of tax assessments against Ampla Energía e Serviços SA (for the years 1996-1999 and 2007-2017), Companhia Energética do Ceará SA (for the years 2003, 2004, 2006-2012, 2015, 2016 and 2018) and Eletropaulo (for the years 2008-2021), challenging the deduction of ICMS (Imposto sobre Circulação de Mercadorias e Serviços, tax on the circular of goods and services) in relation to the purchase of certain non-current assets. The companies challenged the assessments, arguing that they correctly deducted the tax and asserting that the assets, the purchase of which generated the ICMS, are intended for use in their electricity distribution activities. The companies are continuing to defend their actions at the various levels of adjudication.

The estimated amount involved in the proceeding at September 30, 2023 was about €111 million.

ICMS - Coelce

The State of Ceará has filed various tax assessments (for the years 2015-2018) against Companhia Energética do Ceará SA, as well as against all other energy distributors in Brazil, demanding the ICMS (Imposto sobre Circulação de Mercadorias e Serviços, tax on the circular 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 estimated amount involved in the proceeding at September 30, 2023 was about €68 million.

PIS/COFINS - Eletropaulo

Starting from June 2017, the Federal Tax Authority served a number of tax assessment notices against Eletropaulo (for the 2013-2018 tax periods) contesting the offsetting of tax credits relating to social security contributions (PIS and COFINS), requesting the payment of those contributions.

The tax authorities argue that the company has claimed PIS and COFINS credits for the purchase of goods and services that cannot be considered fiscally relevant since they are not essential for the distribution of electricity. Furthermore, it disputes the claim of a tax credit associated with "non-technical" losses on the electricity purchased.

The company has promptly defended the accuracy of its

calculations in the various levels of jurisdiction and argued the validity of the offsets claimed.

The estimated amount involved in the proceeding at September 30, 2023 was about €56 million.
