"The solid results in the first quarter of 2024 confirm the effectiveness of the managerial actions we have undertaken with the 2024-2026 Strategic Plan, as well as the resilience of our business model in all the countries in which we operate," said Enel CFO Stefano De Angelis. "In the coming months, Enel will continue to stringently pursue selective capital allocation, maximizing operational efficiency and effectiveness, as well as financial and environmental sustainability. We are therefore confident of our ability to reach all our objectives for 2024, including the reduction of Group net debt, which has already declined to 54 billion euros as of today, also considering disposals currently under completion. The excellent performance registered in the first quarter provides us with clear visibility including on the confirmation of the shareholders' remuneration policy presented during our Capital Markets Day in November 2023."
Roma, May 9th, 2024 – The Board of Directors of Enel S.p.A. ("Enel" or the "Company"), chaired by Paolo Scaroni, examined and approved the interim financial report at March 31st , 2024.
The following table reports revenues by Business Segment:
| Revenues (millions of euros) | Q1 2024 | Q1 2023 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thermal Generation and Trading | 5,881 | 12,178 | -51.7% |
| Enel Green Power | 2,998 | 2,563 | 17.0% |
| Enel Grids | 5,189 | 5,128 | 1.2% |
| End-user Markets | 11,907 | 15,116 | -21.2% |
| Holding and Services | 466 | 482 | -3.3% |
| Eliminations and adjustments | (7,009) | (9,053) | 22.6% |
| TOTAL | 19,432 | 26,414 | -26.4% |
The following table shows detailed information from Thermal Generation relating solely to revenues from thermal and nuclear generation:
| Revenues (millions of euros) | Q1 2024 | Q1 2023 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenues from thermal generation | 1,790 | 4,264 | -58.0% |
| - of which: from coal-fired generation | 191 | 1,312 | -85.4% |
| Revenues from nuclear generation | 480 | 367 | 30.8% |
| Percentage of revenues from thermal generation within total revenues |
9.2% | 16.1% | |
| - of which: revenues from coal-fired generation as a percentage of total revenues |
1.0% | 5.0% | |
| Percentage of revenues from nuclear generation within total revenues |
2.5% | 1.4% |

Revenues in the first quarter of 2024 amounted to 19,432 million euros, a decrease of 6,982 million euros (-26.4%) compared with the first quarter of 2023. The decrease is mainly attributable to lower revenues from Thermal Generation due to the progressive decline in prices between the two periods under consideration as well as to a reduction in the volumes of electricity generated from thermal sources, mainly in Italy and Spain, alongside the decrease in revenues from End-user Markets due to a reduction in the quantities of electricity and gas sold in a scenario of declining average prices, mainly in Italy and Spain. These effects were partially offset by an increase in revenues from the sale of electricity in Latin America, mainly in Colombia, Peru and Brazil.
An increase in revenues was registered by Enel Green Power (435 million euros), reflecting an increase in the quantities generated and sold from hydro and solar sources, mainly in Italy, Spain and Chile, and by Enel Grids, primarily due to the positive effects of tariff adjustments in Italy and Spain, only partially offset by the recognition in 2023 in Brazil of a concession termination fee related to the transmission company Enel CIEN.
Revenues in the first quarter of 2024 from thermal generation alone included in the results of Thermal Generation, amounted to 1,790 million euros, with a decrease of 2,474 million euros (-58%) compared with the same period of 2023. More specifically, revenues attributable to coal-fired generation in the first quarter of 2024 amounted to 1% of total revenues, compared with 5% in the first quarter of 2023.
Revenues in the first quarter of 2024 and the same period of 2023 do not include non-ordinary items.

Ordinary EBITDA in the first quarter of 2024 amounted to 6,094 million euros, an increase of 631 million euros compared with the first quarter of 2023 (+11.6%) due to the positive contribution of the different business units and geographies. Specifically, it is worth mentioning the positive results of the integrated businesses (Enel Green Power, Thermal Generation as well as End-user Markets), equal to 776 million euros, and the improvement in the margin on Enel Grids operations, net of the effects of the changes in the scope of consolidation compared with the same period of 2023.
Specifically, the ordinary EBITDA of the integrated businesses in the first quarter of 2024 amounted to 4,074 million euros, with the increase mainly attributable to an increase in renewable generation (+2.8 TWh), primarily reflecting the increase in hydro generation in Italy, Spain and Chile, as well as to the optimization of costs of supply which also contributed to the improvement of margins achieved by End-user Markets, especially in Italy and Spain. These effects more than offset the lower margins from thermal generation due to the reduction in quantities generated and to the decreasing prices of energy commodities.
The ordinary EBITDA of Enel Grids amounted to 2,060 million euros, a decrease of 151 million euros compared with the first quarter of 2023, essentially reflecting the change in the scope of consolidation between the two periods under comparison resulting from the sale of the distribution activities in Romania and the concession termination indemnity received in the first quarter of 2023 by Enel CIEN, a transmission

company in Latin America. Net of these items, Enel Grids' ordinary EBITDA increased by 163 million euros, mainly due to tariff adjustments in Italy, Latin America and Spain.
The following table reports EBIT by Business Segment:
| EBIT (millions of euros) | Q1 2024 | Q1 2023 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thermal Generation and Trading | 766 | 783 | -2.2% |
| Enel Green Power | 1,271 | 611 | - |
| Enel Grids | 1,298 | 1,257 | 3.3% |
| End-user Markets | 960 | 614 | 56.4% |
| Holding and Services | (294) | (314) | 6.4% |
| TOTAL | 4,001 | 2,951 | 35.6% |
EBIT in the first quarter of 2024 amounted to 4,001 million euros, an increase of 1,050 million euros (+35.6%) on the same period in 2023.
The change is mainly attributable to the positive performance of operations, which more than offset the increase in depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible assets recognized during the first quarter of 2024 as a result of capital expenditure in the previous year.

In the first three months of 2024, Group net ordinary income amounted to 2,180 million euros, an increase of 668 million euros compared with the same period of 2023 (+44.2%). The positive performance of ordinary operations, the optimization of financial management and the lower incidence of non-controlling interests on net ordinary income more than offset the higher tax charges attributable to the improvement of financial results.

The financial position shows net capital employed at March 31st, 2024, including net assets held for sale of 3,821 million euros (3,603 million euros at December 31st, 2023), of 108,881 million euros (105,272 million euros at December 31st, 2023).
This amount is funded by:
At March 31st, 2024, the debt/equity ratio came to 1.26 (an improvement on 1.33 at December 31st, 2023).

The following table reports capital expenditure by Business Segment:
* The figure for the first quarter of 2024 does not include 103 million euros regarding units classified as "held for sale" (145 million euros in the first quarter of 2023).
Capital expenditure amounted to 2,587 million euros in the first quarter of 2024, a decrease of 286 million euros compared with the same period of 2023 (-10%). Capital expenditure in the period was focused on Enel Grids in particular (1,319 million euros, 51% of total capital expenditure) and Enel Green Power (907 million euros, 35% of total capital expenditure). The reduction compared with the first quarter of 2023 is mainly attributable to the improved focus of capital expenditure, in line with the priorities set out in the Strategic Plan 2024-2026, and to the substantial completion of battery storage system activities in Italy. An increase was registered in capital expenditure in Enel Grids in Italy, Chile, Colombia, Spain and Argentina as well as in End-user Markets, mainly in the mobility business in Italy and in retail operations in Italy and Spain.

* At December 31st, 2023.
In the first quarter of 2024, Enel's total net efficient installed capacity amounted to 81.3 GW (-0.1 GW compared with December 31st, 2023). The decline is attributable to thermal generation (-0.3 GW in Italy) and geothermal generation (-0.1 GW in the United States), partially offset by an increase in net solar capacity (+0.3 GW in Spain, Brazil and Colombia).
The net electricity generated by the Enel Group in the first quarter of 2024 amounted to 48.7 TWh2 , a decrease of 5.1 TWh on the same period of 2023 (-9.5%; -5.2% on a like-for-like basis). More specifically, this reflects:
2 52.7 TWh including the output from around 4 GW of managed capacity.

Electricity generation from renewable sources, including volumes produced by managed capacity3 , far exceeded that from thermal generation, reaching 36.7 TWh (33.1 TWh in the same period of 2023, +10.9%), compared with thermal generation of 9.4 TWh (17 TWh in the same period of 2023, -44.7%).
Considering only the production from consolidated capacity, zero-emission generation comes to 80.7% of the total generation of the Enel Group, while it is equal to 82.2% if managed generation capacity is also included. The Enel Group's long-term ambition is to achieve zero direct and indirect emissions by 2040.

Generation mix of Enel Group plants
Electricity transported on Enel Group distribution grids in the first quarter of 2024 amounted to 120.2 TWh, of which 53.7 TWh in Italy and 66.5 TWh abroad.
The volume of electricity distributed in Italy increased by 0.5 TWh (+0.9%) on the first quarter of 2023. The percentage change in demand on the national market amounted to +0.3% in the North, +2% in the Center, -0.1% in the South and +0.1% in the Islands. The South and the Islands are mainly served by edistribuzione; in the Center and the North, other major operators account for a total of about 15% of electricity volumes distributed.
Electricity distributed outside of Italy amounted to 66.5 TWh, down 2.5 TWh (-3.6%) on the same period of 2023.
3 Capacity not consolidated by the Enel Group but operated under the "Stewardship" model.


At March 31st, 2024, Group employees numbered 60,905 (61,055 at December 31st, 2023). The slight change in the period is attributable to the balance between hirings and terminations.
*****
In November 2023, the Group presented its new Strategic Plan for the 2024-2026 period, based on three pillars:
Between 2024 and 2026, the Group has planned a total gross capex of approximately 35.8 billion euros:
As a result of the abovementioned strategic actions, in 2026 Group ordinary EBITDA is expected to grow to between 23.6 and 24.3 billion euros, and Group net ordinary income is expected to increase to between 7.1 and 7.3 billion euros.
The dividend policy foresees a fixed minimum DPS ("Dividend Per Share") of 0.43 euros for the 2024- 2026 period with a potential increase up to a 70% payout on Net Ordinary Income, if cash flow neutrality is achieved4 .
In 2024 Enel plans:
4 Cash flow neutrality is reached if Funds From Operations (FFO) fully cover Group net capex and dividends on top of the fixed minimum DPS.


In light of the solid performance in the first quarter, the guidance provided to the financial markets during the presentation of the 2024-2026 Strategic Plan in November 2023 is confirmed: in 2024, the Group expects an ordinary EBITDA between 22.1 billion and 22.8 billion euros and a net ordinary income between 6.6 billion and 6.8 billion euros.

This press release uses some "alternative performance indicators" that are not envisaged by the international accounting standards adopted by the European Union – IFRS-EU, but which management deems useful for the better evaluation and monitoring of the Group's economic and financial performance. With regard to these indicators, on April 29th, 2021, CONSOB issued Warning Notice no. 5/21 making applicable the Guidelines issued on March 4th, 2021 by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) on disclosure requirements pursuant to EU Regulation 2017/1129 (the so-called "Prospectus Regulation"), which are applicable from May 5th, 2021 and replace the references to the CESR recommendations and those in Communication no.

These 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 abovementioned communications, the criteria used for the construction of these indicators for the Enel Group are provided below:
