The Interim Financial Report at March 31, 2022 has been prepared in compliance with Article 154-ter, paragraph 5, of Legislative Decree 58 of February 24, 1998, with the clarification indicated in the following section, and in conformity with the recognition and measurement criteria set out in the international accounting standards (International Accounting Standards - IAS and International Financial Reporting Standards - IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as well as the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) and the Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC), recognized in the European Union pursuant to Regulation (EC) no. 1606/2002 and in effect as of the close of the period.
Article 154-ter, paragraph 5, of the Consolidated Financial Intermediation Act, as amended by Legislative Decree 25/2016, no longer requires issuers to publish an interim financial report at the close of the 1st and 3rd Quarters of the year. The new rules give CONSOB the power to issue a regulation requiring issuers, following an impact analysis, to publish periodic financial information in addition to the annual and semi-annual financial reports. In view of the foregoing, Enel intends to continue voluntarily publishing an interim financial report at the close of the 1st and 3rd Quarters of each year in order to satisfy investor expectations and conform to consolidated best practice in the main financial markets, while also taking due account of the quarterly reporting requirements of a number of major listed subsidiaries.
The Enel Group structure is organized into a matrix that comprises:
| Global Business Lines |
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 environmen tal 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 cen tralized 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 compe tence. The Grid Blue Sky project is being implemented. Its objective is to innovate and digitalize in frastructures and networks in order to make them an enabling factor for the achievement of the "Climate Action" objectives, thanks to the progressive transformation of Enel into a pla tform-based Group. |
|
| Regions and countries |
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 Li nes. 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: | |
| Global Service Functions |
The Global Service Functions are responsible for managing information and communication technology activities and procurement at the Group level and managing global customer-rela ted actions. The Global Service Functions are also focused on the responsible adoption of measures that allow the achievement of sustainable development objectives, in particular in managing the supply chain and developing digital solutions to support the development of enabling techno logies for the energy transition and the fight against climate change. |
| Holding Company Functions |
The Holding Company Functions are responsible for managing governance processes at the Group level. The Administration, Finance and Control Function is also responsible for consoli dating 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.

At the beginning of 2022, the global economic outlook was characterized by improved growth expectations, prompted by a 2021 in which economies began to recover well with the gradual easing of the restrictions imposed to combat COVID-19, which enabled greater mobility between countries. However, the outbreak of war between Russia and Ukraine in the middle of the 1st Quarter of the year triggered a global shock in the supply of a wide range of commodities, especially agricultural and energy products, adversely impacting the world economy, lowering expectations for growth in many countries and potentially adding to the growing inflationary pressures inherited from previous quarters. Considering these factors, yearon-year global GDP growth came to around 4% in the 1st Quarter of 2022.
The United States posted strong economic growth in the 1st Quarter, with GDP expanding growing by 4.1% year-onyear. The US economy was characterized by a resilient labor market, with an unemployment rate of 3.8%. However, various obstacles such as the sharp roll-back of fiscal stimulus measures and the Federal Reserve's restrictive turn in its monetary policy in order to control rising inflation have prevented a stronger recovery in the real economy, and remain risks for performance of the coming quarters. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has added greater uncertainty to inflation dynamics, which are being driven by rising energy prices that could consequently require an even more restrictive policy stance.
The progressive easing of COVID-19 restrictions in the euro area sustained a significant increase in household consumption, with the economy recovering strongly in the 1st Quarter of 2022, posting GDP growth of 4.9% yearon-year, compared with 4.6% in the last quarter of 2021. However, given the area's heavy dependence on gas imported from Russia, the recovery slowed in the second half of the quarter in the wake of the abrupt jump in the prices of energy and food products engendered by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. These price increases are adversely impacting both industrial and private consumption, with inflation reaching 6.2% year-on-year in the 1st Quarter of 2022, up from 4.7% in the previous quarter. To contain these inflationary pressures, the European Central Bank modified its monetary policy in its last meeting in March, anticipating future gradual increases in its official rates, a reduction in monthly net purchases of government and private-sector securities in the coming quarters and the suspension of net asset purchases under the pandemic emergency purchase program at the end of March 2022. In Italy, macroeconomic conditions in the 1st Quarter of 2022 were significantly influenced by the Russia-Ukraine conflict, given the country's considerable dependence on Russian energy resources. The sanctions imposed on Russia by the euro-area countries and the United States, and the increase in commodity prices slowed year-on-year GDP growth to 5.3 in the 1st Quarter (6.2% in the previous period), accompanied by an increase in inflation to 6.1% year-on-year. Similarly, the Spain economy was adversely impacted by the conflict, with prices rising by 7.9% yearon-year in the 1st Quarter of the year.
In Brazil, economic performance in the 1st Quarter was not encouraging, with a year-on-year GDP growth rate of 0.3% in the 1st Quarter, compared with 1.6% in the previous period. Inflation continued to increase, rising to 10.7% year-on-year, inheriting the inflation dynamics of previous quarters. In response, the central bank raised its official rate to its current 11.75%, but this has dampened domestic consumption and, consequently, worsened the macroeconomic outlook.
In Chile, the economy was supported in the 1st Quarter by the recovery in consumption and private investment, albeit at a slower pace, with GDP growing by 7.0% year-on-year. However, inflation in the 1st Quarter remained above the central bank's target of 3%, reaching an 8.3% year-on-year, fueled by a general rise in food and energy prices.
In Colombia, economic growth, with GDP growing by a 5.7% year-on-year in the 1st Quarter, and the balance-of-payment deficit were accentuated by the high prices of energy commodities such as oil and coal, which account for around 40% of the country's exports.
The economy of Peru also registered a moderate recovery, with year-on-year GDP growth of 2.8%, thanks to a gradual normalization of operations in the mining sector, which represents about 1% of GDP. However, the country has been hit by high inflationary pressures, with inflation rising to 6.2% under the impetus of food and energy prices.

The prices of commodities rose sharply in the 1st Quarter of 2022, primarily due to the tensions in gas markets caused by the escalation of strains between Russia and Ukraine, which led to armed conflict at the end of February. The outbreak of the conflict has worsened expectations for Russian supplies of coal, gas and oil, triggering a sharp rise in the prices of these commodities.
The commodity most affected by this shock was gas, a raw material that Europe largely imports from Russia. Russian gas flows had already slowed in the 2nd Half of 2021, a trend that did not change with the outbreak of the conflict except for the addition of a strong element of uncertainty. The TTF, the European benchmark for gas prices, rose to an average of €95.6/MWh in the quarter, reaching a record high and increasing by 400% compared with the same period of the previous year.
Sharp increases were also recorded in the prices of coal and oil, Russia being one of the main producers of the latter. The increase in coal prices obviously reflects forecasts of additional demand as it can substitute gas, while oil has risen more moderately, thanks to the high degree of globalization of the oil market.
CO2 prices posted robust growth compared with the 1st Quarter of 2021, reflecting expectations of a large supply deficit in the coming years following the reforms envisaged in Europe. Nevertheless, the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine crisis momentarily halted the rising trend in the prices of this commodity as it prompted the selloff of certain long positions by a number of hedge funds.
Metal prices experienced considerable increases in the 1st Quarter of 2022. Materials directly linked to the energy transition were especially impacted. Compared with the same period of the previous year, the price of aluminum rose by 55.2%, while nickel recorded an increase of 60.3%. The strong global tensions in metals markets, characterized by low stocks and the inability of supply to meet demand, together with supply chain and international transport issues, underpinned the increase.
The outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict has increased already considerable market tensions and prompted speculative activity by investors, which has led to spikes of extreme volatility. A significant example of this was the suspension of nickel trading on the LME exchange at the beginning of March 2022, following a price jump of 250% in just two trading days.

In the first three months of 2022, electricity demand in Italy grew by 2.3% compared with the same period of 2021, thanks to a recovery in the services sector, which in the 1st Quarter of 2021 was still impacted by the imposition of lockdowns in various regions of the country. By contrast, demand in Spain was unchanged compared with 2021. As for Latin America, electricity demand is growing strongly in all the countries in which the Group operates. Brazil is an exception, where demand expanded by less than 1%.

The strong rise in gas and coal prices pushed electricity prices to new all-time highs, with increases over the 1st Quarter of 2021 of over 300% in Italy and over 400% in Spain. This effect was amplified by low output in the renewables sector, with hydroelectric generation particularly affected due to persistent drought, which caused water levels to decline in both countries.

Demand for natural gas in Italy in the first three months of 2022 amounted to 25.2 billion cubic meters, substantially in line with the same period of 2021. At the segment level, industrial consumption fell sharply due to the significant increase in price, which was balanced by the increase in consumption for thermal generation. Distribution neworks consumption declined slightly.
In Spain, consumption increased compared with that recorded in the same period of 2021, despite the sharp increase in gas prices.
On January 3, 2022, Enel Produzione SpA finalized the acquisition of the entire share capital of ERG Hydro Srl (now Enel Hydro Appennino Centrale Srl) from ERG Power Generation SpA for a total of about €1,265 million. Under the terms of the sale agreement, the price could undergo an adjustment, which will be calculated mainly on the basis of the changes in Enel Hydro Appennino Centrale Srl's net working capital and net financial position, and the level of water reserves in certain basins included in the sale. The plants owned by Enel Hydro Appennino Centrale Srl, which are located in the Umbria, Lazio, and Marche regions, have an installed capacity of 527 MW and an average annual output of around 1.5 TWh.
On January 10, 2022, Enel Finance International NV, the Dutch-registered finance company controlled by Enel SpA, placed a €2.75 billion "sustainability-linked bond" in three tranches, linked to the achievement of Enel's sustainability objective for the reduction of direct greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1), contributing to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13 "Climate Action" and in line with the Group's Sustainability-Linked Financing Framework.
On February 4, 2022, Fitch Ratings announced that it has revised Enel SpA's long-term rating to "BBB+" from the previous "A-". The agency also confirmed Enel's shortterm rating at "F-2". The outlook remains stable. According to the agency, the change in Enel's rating
mainly reflects the expected increase in financial leverage in the medium term due to the investment opportunities that have prompted Enel to gradually expand its capital expenditure plans in response to the energy transition.
On February 24, 2022, the Russian President announced "a special military operation" in Ukrainian territory, which caused the outbreak of conflict between the two countries and triggered prompt reactions from various countries and international organizations.
In particular, the European Commission took action to address the humanitarian crisis engendered by the conflict in Ukraine, with the deployment of humanitarian aid and emergency aid programs, including increased financial support to Ukraine.
During the quarter, negotiations continued between the parties involved to seek a diplomatic solution that will prevent the situation from becoming a threat to international peace and security.
The European Union and other countries (e.g., the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Japan, Switzerland, Sweden, Finland and others) have imposed severe sanctions on Russia, which, although of varying effectiveness, have impacted strategic sectors of the Russian economy and the financial sector and imposed personal restrictions on the Russian President and other political and business figures.
Financial difficulties have also been associated with an increased level of IT risk, to which businesses and governments are exposed, making it necessary to adopt adequate defense measures and stringent internal controls to safeguard their digital infrastructure.
Considering this background, the Enel Group has activated a task force to carefully monitor the status and evolution of current developments and manage potential risks.
During the quarter, the Enel Group constantly monitored the impact of the international crisis on its operations in Russia (with particular regard to the procurement of materials, services and labor) and evaluating developments in market variables (exchange rates, interest rates), first and foremost taking consideration of the potential effects on performance and financial position of the depreciation of the ruble against the euro. Furthermore, the Enel Group is also assessing developments associated with the counter-sanctions being deployed by Russia against investments in the country.
During the period, the Enel Group also conducted analyses to assess the indirect impacts of the war in Ukraine on operations, the financial situation and performance in the main euro-area countries in which it operates, with particular regard to shortages of raw materials from the areas affected by the conflict and the generalized increase in commodity prices.
In consideration of the recommendations of national and supranational supervisory authorities(2) concerning the issue and in a highly fluid situation, characterized by considerable regulatory uncertainty and high and volatile prices, the Enel Group is carefully monitoring macroeconomic and business variables in order to develop the most accurate estimates of impacts connected with regulatory changes, sanctions and restrictions on assets, as well as on suppliers and contracts applicable to the Enel Group.
On March 24, 2022, Enel X International Srl, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Enel X Srl, closed the agreement signed on December 21, 2021 with a holding company controlled by Sixth Cinven Fund and a holding company controlled by Seventh Cinven Fund. Under the agreement, Enel X International acquired 79.4% of the share capital of Ufinet Latam SLU (Ufinet) from Sixth Cinven Fund and simultaneously sold 80.5% of the company's share capital to Seventh Cinven Fund. Following the transaction, Enel X International therefore indirectly retains a stake equal to 19.5% of Ufinet, renewing the partnership in the company with Cinven. More specifically, Enel X International, which previously indirectly owned a stake of 20.6% in Ufinet, exercised the call option to acquire the remaining 79.4% of the share capital of Ufinet for €1,320 million. At the same time, Enel X International received €207 million as a distribution of available reserves from Ufinet and simultaneously sold 80.5% of the Company's share capital to Seventh Cinven Fund for €1,186 million.
Under the agreement, Enel X International, in addition to indirectly retaining 19.5% of the share capital of Ufinet, keeps representation on the latter and its holding company's boards of directors, retaining standard minority shareholder protection rights.

With regard to Italian regulations governing large-scale hydroelectric concessions, most recently modified by the "Simplifications Decree" (Decree Law 135 of 2018 ratified with Law 12 of February 11, 2019), which introduced a series of innovations regarding the granting of such concessions upon their expiry and the valuation of the assets and works connected to them to be transferred to the new concession holder, as well as a number of changes in the matter of concession fees, establishing a fixed and variable component of fees and an obligation to provide free power to public bodies (220 kWh of power for each kW of average nominal capacity of the facilities covered by the concession), the following developments have occurred. Enel Green Power Italia and Enel Produzione have filed suit seeking to void the individual regional laws implementing these provisions and the subsequent payment notices for the dual-component fees and the monetization of free electricity supplies before the competent judicial authorities (Regional Administrative Court and Regional Water Resources Court of Lombardy, Piedmont and Emilia Romagna). Between the end of 2021 and the 1st Quarter of 2022 a number of the courts petitioned (the Piedmont Regional Administrative Court and the Lombardy Regional Administrative Court) issued rulings deferring their jurisdiction in favor of the Superior Water Resources Court, before which the proceedings must be reallowed. Challenges of those rulings have also been filed with the Council of State.

Net electricity generated by Enel in the 1st Quarter of 2022 increased by 5.5 TWh compared with the same period of 2021 (+10.2%), attributable to greater thermal generation (+6.3 TWh), mainly as a result of greater combined-cycle (+3.2 TWh) and coal (+2.1 TWh) generation, mainly in Italy and Spain. The increase in coal-fired output mainly reflected from the need to offset a decline in hydroelectric generation (-3.2 TWh) due to poor water availability in the period.
Generation from the remaining renewable sources increased by 2.4 TWh compared with the same period of 2021, notably wind generation (+1.6 TWh), mainly in Brazil and North America.
The Group's total net efficient installed capacity increased by 1 GW in the 1st Quarter of 2022, mainly as a result of the installation of 0.5 GW of new solar capacity and 0.08 GW
of new wind capacity. In addition, 0.5 GW of new hydroelectric plants were acquired in Italy, while a fuel-oil plant of 0.03 GW in Chile was decommissioned. 51.4% in the 1st Quaer of 2021 48.6% in the 1st Quaer of 2021
At the end of March 2022, the Group's net efficient installed renewables capacity reached 51.1 GW, 58% of total net efficient installed capacity.
Electricity transported on the Enel distribution network in the 1st Quarter of 2022 amounted to 126.7 TWh, up 0.1 TWh (+0.1%) compared with the same period of 2021, mainly in Latin America (+0.3 TWh), partly offset by a decrease in volumes transported in Spain (-0.2 TWh).
Electricity sold by Enel in the 1st Quarter of 2022 amounted to 79.9 TWh, an increase of di 1.1 TWh (+1.4%) compared with the year-earlier period.
Quantities sold increased in Latin America (+1.4 TWh), mainly in Chile (+1.1 TWh), as well as in Italy (+0.5 TWh) and Romania (+0.3 TWh), partly offset by a decline in volumes in Spain (-1.1 TWh).
Gas sold by Enel in the 1st Quarter of 2022 amounted to 4 billion cubic meters, an increase of 0.3 billion cubic meters on the same period of 2021.
Enel charging points increased by 61,283 the 1st Quarter of 2022 compared with 2021.
Charging points installed for private citizens posted an increase of 57,719, mainly in North America and Italy, while public charging points increased by 3,564, mainly in Italy and Spain.
The Enel Group workforce at March 31, 2022 numbered 66,867, of whom about 54% were employed in companies outside of Italy. The increase of 588 reflects the balance between new hires and terminations (+475) and the change in the consolidation scope (+113), reflecting the acquisition of Enel Hydro Appennino Centrale Srl in Italy.

As with revenue, costs in the 1st Quarter of 2022 also increased significantly, mainly as a result of the increase in commodity prices.
Net results from commodity contracts entered into primarily for hedging purposes in the 1st Quarter of 2022 improved by €1,237 million, due mainly to fluctuations in market prices.

The latter classification had an impact of the same amount on margins. For more details, please see note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2022.
The increase in ordinary gross operating profit is mainly attributable to the partial sale of the investment in Ufinet (€220 million) and the integrated management of energy resources. The positive effects deriving from the higher volumes sold at increasing average prices and the optimal management of instruments hedging energy commodities were offset by higher purchase costs for commodities, attributable in part to a decline in output from hydroelectric plants in Italy and Spain.
Gross operating profit amounted to €4,446 million (€4,131 million in the 1st Quarter of 2021). Extraordinary items amounted to a total of €40 million and regarded costs connected with digitalization and the energy transition and with COVID-19.

Group ordinary profit in the first three months of 2022 amounted to €1,443 million, compared with €1,214 million in the same period of the previous year. More specifically, the increase in operating profit described above was compounded by the net positive effects of finance operations, the results of equity-accounted companies and the reduction in non-controlling interests, including that attributable to the reorganization implemented in Latin America.

| Net financial debt | 59,130 | 51,952 | 7,178 | 13.8% |
Net capital employed at March 31, 2022 amounted to €105,042 million and was funded by shareholders' equity attributable to the owners of the Parent and non-controlling interests in the amount of €45,912 million and net financial debt of €59,130 million. At March 31, 2022 the debt/equity ratio was 1.29 (1.23 at December 31, 2021). The increase in net capital employed mainly reflected:
measures, the payment of dividends and the macroeconomic environment in the energy market.
In addition, "provisions for risks and charges and net deferred taxes" increased primarily in reflection of greater provisions for environmental compliance costs (€578 million) and an increase in risk provisions for equity investments (€198 million) connected with the decrease in the OCI reserves of Slovenské elektrárne, an equity-accounted company.
Total equity at March 31, 2022 increased by €3,570 million, primarily due to the strengthening of foreign currencies against the euro, which led to a positive change in the translation reserve of €2,422 million (of which the share
attributable to owners of the Parent amounted to €1,719 million) and profit for the period of €1,650 million (of which the share attributable to owners of the Parent amounted to €1,430 million). Finally, transactions in non-controlling interests following the corporate reorganization in Colombia, and more generally in Latin America, led to the recognition of a negative reserve, attributable to owners of the Parent, amounting to €261 million.
The Enel Group's net financial debt and changes in the period are detailed in the table below.

Capital expenditure amounted to €2,533 million in the first three months of 2022, with nearly all Business Lines posting increases. "Capital expenditure on low-carbon products, services and technology" amounted to 95.3% on the total.
The Enel Group, guided by energy efficiency and energy transition objectives, continued to invest above all in renewables. In particular, the increase mainly involved the United States (€139 million), Italy (€90 million), Canada (€90 million), Iberia (€54 million), India (€27 million) and Australia (€14 million). These increases were only partially offset by lower investments in Chile (€79 million), Russia (€36 million), Brazil (€26 million), Colombia (€10 million) and Panama (€8 million).
Investment in distribution assets also increased in order to
enhance grid resilience in response to increasingly volatile weather events.
Capital expenditure increased in Iberia to improve grid quality and customer connections to the grid and in Brazil and Argentina in reflection of greater investment in quality, recovery of grid losses and customer connections.
Capital expenditure also increased in the retail segment, especially in Italy and Iberia for the digitalization of customer management processes.
Enel X's investments increased in Italy in the e-City business and in developing global technology platforms for the digital management, in Iberia in the e-Home business following the increase in volumes compared with 2021 and in Latin America in the e-City, e-Home and e-Industries businesses.
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 sector, 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 increase in thermal generation is essentially attributable to an increase in generation both from combined-cycle plants (3,218 million kWh) and from coal-fired plants (2,128 million kWh), the latter mainly reflecting the need to offset a decline in hydroelectric output as a result of poor water availability during the period. The increase in combined-cycle generation was largely accounted for by Italy (1,049 million kWh) and Iberia (1,720 million kWh).

Revenue in the first three months of 2022 amounted to €17,437 million, an increase of €10,389 million compared with the same period of 2021. The change mainly regarded:
• Italy, largely attributable to an increase in gas and electricity sales, which reflected the increase in commodity prices, especially gas, and the increase in thermal generation;
• Iberia, due to an increase in revenue from the sale of electricity, mainly reflecting an increase in average prices.

The increase of €1,173 million in ordinary gross operating profit is mainly attributable to greater electricity generation, prices applied and the net result from hedging the price risk on commodities in Italy and Spain. Gross operating profit of €1,595 million (€425 million in
the first three months of 2021) was mainly affected by the
factors discussed in the comments on ordinary gross operating profit, as well as the change in extraordinary items (€3 million).
Extraordinary items in the 1st Quarter of 2022 include impairment losses on the fuel inventories of the Bocamina II coal plant as a result of the energy transition process (€19 million) and costs incurred for sanitizing workplaces, purchasing personal protective equipment and donations in response to the COVID-19 pandemic (€1 million).

Net electricity generation declined in the 1st Quarter of 2022, reflecting a decrease in hydroelectric output, only partially offset by an increase in generation from other renewable sources.
Poor water supply has resulted in lower hydroelectric generation, mainly accounted for by Italy (-1,727 million kWh), Iberia (-1,219 million kWh) and Chile (-232 million kWh). Wind generation recorded its most significant increases in North America (+930 million kWh, notably in the United States, with an increase of 872 million kWh), Brazil (+670 million kWh) and South Africa (+182 million kWh), partially offset by a reduction in Iberia (-303 million kWh).
Solar generation expanded, mainly in the United States (+263 million kWh), Chile (+175 million kWh), Brazil (+153 million kWh) and Iberia (+143 million kWh).

The change in ordinary gross operating profit in the 1st Quarter of 2022 is essentially attributable to the gross operating loss registered in Italy as a result of a decline in hydro generation – despite the acquisition of ERG Hydro Srl (now Enel Hydro Appennino Centrale Srl) – due to a reduction in the availability of water resources.
This effect was partially offset by an increase in gross operating profit in Latin America, especially in Brazil and Colombia, as a result of an increase in quantities generated and sold at increasing average prices and in North America as a result of new plants entering services, as well as the net negative settlement in the 1st Quarter of 2021 of a proxy revenue swap contract amounting to about €44 million following an extreme weather event in Texas.
Gross operating profit amounted to €726 million (€1,052 million in the 1st Quarter of 2021), reflecting €1 million in costs incurred for sanitizing workplaces, purchasing personal protective equipment and donations in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The increase in revenue is mainly attributable to Latin America, notably Brazil, reflecting rate adjustments for inflation and the positive effect of exchange rate developments.
This increase was partially mitigated by lower revenue in:
• Italy, due essentially to the decrease in revenue from
electricity transport as a result of the reduction in rates for 2022 provided for in Regulatory Authority for Energy, Networks and the Environment (ARERA) Resolution no. 621/21 published in December 2021;
• Iberia, essentially due to a decrease in volumes transported.

The reduction in the ordinary gross operating loss in the first three months of 2022 is attributable to the increase in gross operating profit registered in Italy, reflecting a reduction in costs for IT services, which more than offset a decline in revenue for the provision of services to other Group companies.
The gross operating loss improved by €10 million compared with the 1st Quarter of 2021. Non-recurring items include charges provisioned for restructuring plans for the energy transition and digitalization in the amount of €5 million and costs of €3 million incurred, mainly in Italy, for sanitizing workplaces, purchases of personal protective equipment and donations in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The decrease of €10 million in capital expenditure in the first three months of 2022 is attributable to a decline in expenditure in Latin America and Italy.
In order to present the results of the Group and analyze its financial structure, in the Interim Financial Report at March 31, 2022 Enel has prepared separate reclassified schedules that differ from the schedules envisaged under the IFRS-EU adopted by the Group and contained in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements. These reclassified schedules contain different performance indicators from those obtained directly from the condensed interim consolidated financial statements, 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, CON-SOB 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.
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. It does not include costs connected with corporate restructurings and costs directly attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ordinary operating profit: defined as "Operating profit" from core business connected with the Ownership and Stewardship business models.
It is calculated by adjusting "Operating profit" for the effects of transactions not connected with core operations referred to with regard to 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 for 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:
Net working capital: calculated as the difference between "Current assets" and "Current liabilities" with the exception of:
Net assets held for sale: calculated as the algebraic sum of "Assets held for sale" and "Liabilities 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", "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 financial liabilities" and "Other current financial liabilities";
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. 5/21 issued by CONSOB on April 29, 2021
In the two periods under review, the consolidation scope changed as a result of a number of transactions. For more information, please see note 3 of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2022.
In the 1st Quarter of 2022 macroeconomic conditions were severely impacted by the geopolitical crisis still under way, with an increase in uncertainty about the continuation of the global recovery made possible by the roll-out of COV-ID-19 vaccines. As experienced in the final part of 2021, the early months of this year were characterized by the sharp rise in the prices of commodities, such as gas and coal, with a direct impact on the price of electricity. This prompted the authorities of some European countries to retain policies to limit electricity prices for consumers, with measures that in some cases penalized companies operating in electricity generation and sales.
In this context, the geographical diversification of the Group, its integrated business model along the entire value chain, a sound financial structure and a high degree of digitalization have enabled Enel to display considerable resilience, which is reflected in our performance and financial position in the 1st Quarter.
The Group's strategic action is continuing along the lines delineated in the Strategic Plan presented in November 2021.
delivering services to end users.
• Achieve sustainable Net-Zero objectives in advance: the Group has moved its Net-Zero commitment forward by 10 years, from 2050 to 2040, for all emissions along the value chain.
As a result of the strategic lines of action described above, between 2020 and 2030 the Group's ordinary EBITDA is expected to increase at a compound annual growth rate of 5-6%, with the ordinary profit of the Group expected to increase at a compound annual rate of 6-7%.
With regard to the period covered by the 2022-2024 Plan, in 2024 the Group's ordinary EBITDA is forecast to reach €21.0-21.6 billion, compared with €19.2 billion in 2021.
The Group's ordinary profit is expected to rise to €6.7-6.9 billion in 2024, compared with €5.6 billion in 2021.
Enel's dividend policy for the 2022-2024 period remains simple, predictable and attractive. Shareholders should receive a fixed dividend per share (DPS) that is expected to increase by 13% between 2021 and 2024, reaching €0.43 per share.
The following developments are expected in 2022:
The guidance provided to investors on the occasion of the presentation of the 2022-2024 Strategic Plan in November 2021 has not changed: in 2022 the Group expects to generate ordinary EBITDA of €19.0-19.6 billion.

The accounting standards adopted, the recognition and measurement criteria and the consolidation criteria and methods used for the condensed consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2022 are the same as those adopted for the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2021 (please see the related report for more information). In addition, as from January 1, 2022 the following amendments of accounting standards have become applicable to the Enel Group.
• "Amendments to IFRS 3 - Reference to the Conceptual Framework", issued in May 2020. The amendments are intended to update the definitions of assets and liabilities in the standard to those set out in the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting issued in March 2018 (Conceptual Framework(3)).
Nevertheless, as an exception an acquirer shall not apply the definitions of assets and liabilities given in the Conceptual Framework but rather those in the relevant standard in the following cases:
Finally, the amendments clarify that the acquirer shall not recognize a contingent asset acquired in a business combination at the acquisition date.
Entities shall apply these amendments to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2022.
• "Amendments to IAS 16 - Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use", issued in May 2020. The amendments prohibit an entity from deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced before bringing such items into use, i.e. while the entity is bringing the item of PPE to the location or the condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management: the proceeds of the sale of each such item and the related cost determined in accordance with "IAS 2 - Inventories" shall be recognized through profit or loss.
In order to clarify the guidelines for determining when an asset can be considered available for use, the amendments specify that, when testing whether an asset is functioning properly, an entity assesses whether the technical and physical performance of the asset is such that it is capable of being used in the production or supply of goods or services, for rental to others, or for administrative purposes. For this reason, the assessment of functioning properly is not an assessment of the financial performance of an asset, such as assessing whether the asset has achieved the level of operating margin initially anticipated by management.
The amendments shall take effect from annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. An entity shall apply the amendments retrospectively, but only to items of property, plant and equipment that are brought to the location and condition necessary for them to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management on or after the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements in which the entity first applies the amendments.
(3) The Conceptual Framework adopts the following definitions: a) an asset is a present economic resource controlled by the entity as a result of past events. An economic resource is a right that has the potential to produce economic benefits; b) a liability is a present obligation of the entity to transfer an economic resource as a result of past events. An obligation is a duty or responsibility that an entity has no practical ability to avoid.
The amendments shall be applied for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022. An entity shall apply the amendments to contracts for which it has not yet fulfilled all its obligations at the beginning of the annual reporting period in which it first applies the amendments (the date of initial application). The entity shall recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the amendments as an adjustment to equity at the date of initial application, without restating comparative information.
ifies which fees to be included in the "10 per cent" test for derecognition of a financial liability that has been modified or exchanged, i.e. when assessing whether the terms of a new or modified financial liability are substantially different from the terms of the original financial liability.(4) The amendment specifies that determining fees paid net of fees received, the borrower shall include only fees paid or received between the borrower and the lender, including fees paid or received by either the borrower or lender on the other party's behalf.

The turnover and performance of the Group could be impacted, albeit slightly, by developments in weather conditions. More specifically, in warmer periods of the year, gas sales decline, while during periods in which factories are closed for holidays, electricity sales decline. In view of the slight financial impact of these variations, considering that the Group's operations are spread across both hemispheres, no additional disclosure (required under IAS 34.21) for developments in the three months ended March 31, 2022 is provided.
(4) Pursuant to IFRS 9, those terms are substantially different if the discounted present value of the cash flows under the new terms, including any fees paid net of any fees received and discounted using the original effective interest rate, is at least 10 per cent different from the discounted present value of the remaining cash flows of the original financial liability.
In order to improve the representation of contracts entered into for the purchase or sale of commodities with physical settlement (that do not qualify for the own use exemption) measured at fair value through profit or loss (within the scope of IFRS 9), the Group modified their presentation in the consolidated financial statements in the 3rd Quarter of 2021.
More specifically, in the 1st Quarter of 2021:
ing date were presented under "Electricity, gas and fuel" and "Services and other materials".
Under the new presentation method, in the 1st Quarter of 2022 the unrealized fair value gain or loss on contracts for the purchase or sale of energy commodities outstanding at the reporting date are recognized on a net basis under the item "Net results from commodity contracts".
The new presentation method constitutes a change in accounting policy, in accordance with "IAS 8 - Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors". Accordingly, it was necessary to restate the income statement balances for the 1st Quarter of 2021 for comparative purposes only, with no impact on either net profit or equity.
In order to improve the representation of the remeasurement at fair value of financial assets in respect of concession arrangements within the scope of application of IFRIC 12 in Brazil in profit or loss, as from the 4th Quarter of 2021 the item was reclassified from financial income to revenue from contracts with customers (IFRS 15) since it refers to the remeasurement at fair value of contract assets. In order to ensure the comparability of the figures, it was necessary to carry out the reclassification for comparative purposes only for the income statement items for the 1st Quarter of 2021.
That said, the following table reports the reclassifications made to costs, revenue, net results from commodity contracts and financial income in order to restate the comparative figures for the 1st Quarter of 2021.

The figures presented in the comments and the tables of the notes to these condensed consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2022 are uniform and comparable with each other.
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 conso-
lidated financial statements and in accordance with IAS 29, certain items of the balance sheets of the investees in Argentina have been remeasured by applying the general consumer price index to historical data in order to reflect changes in the purchasing power of the Argentine peso at the reporting date for those companies.
Bearing in mind that the Enel Group acquired control of the Argentine companies on June 25, 2009, the remeasurement of the non-monetary balance sheet figures
was conducted by applying the inflation indices starting from that date. In addition to being already reflected in the opening balance sheet, the accounting effects of that remeasurement also include changes during the period. More specifically, the effect of the remeasurement of non-monetary items, the components of equity and the components of the income statement recognized in the first three months of 2022 was recognized in a specific line of the income statement under financial income and expense. The associated tax effect was recognized in taxes for the period.
In order to also take account of the impact of hyperinflation on the exchange rate of the local currency, the income statement balances expressed in the hyperinflationary currency have been translated into the Group's presentation currency (euro) applying, in accordance with IAS 21, the closing exchange rate rather than the average rate for the period in order to adjust these amounts to current values.
The cumulative changes in the general price indices from December 31, 2018 to March 31, 2022 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 March 31, 2022 | 15.23% |
In the 1st Quarter of 2022, the application of IAS 29 generated net financial income from hyperinflation adjustments (gross of tax) of €31 million.
The following tables report the effects of IAS 29 on the balance at March 31, 2022 and the impact of hyperinflation on the main income statement items for the 1st Quarter of 2022, 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.

At March 31, 2022, the scope of consolidation had changed with respect to March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2021, as a result of the following main transactions.
acquired on September 17, 2020 by Enel X International, was completed in September, following which the carrying amounts recognized at the acquisition date were confirmed.
In addition to the above changes in the consolidation scope, in 2021 the following transactions, although they do not represent transactions involving the acquisition or loss of control, gave rise to a change in the interest held by the Group in the investees:
€14 million, representing the licenses acquired for the development and construction of photovoltaic systems. The acquisition had no impact on profit or loss.
• On March 3, 2022, Enel X Germany sold its entire stake in Cremzow KG and Cremzow Verwaltungs for about €12 million.
In addition to the above changes in the consolidation scope, the following transactions, although they do not represent transactions involving the acquisition or loss of control, gave rise to a change in the interest held by the Group in the investees:
Acquisition of ERG Hydro Srl
On January 3, 2022, Enel Produzione SpA acquired 100% of ERG Hydro Srl (now Enel Hydro Appennino Centrale Srl), owner of generation plants with an installed capacity of about 527 MW and an annual output of approximately 1.5 agreement with a holding company controlled by Sixth Cinven Fund and a holding company controlled by Seventh Cinven Fund to indirectly acquire about 79.4% of the share capital of Ufinet Latam SLU (for €1,320 million) and at the same time sold 80.5% of the share capital of that company to Seventh Cinven Fund (for €1,186 million). Enel X International also received about €207 million from Ufinet as a distribution of available reserves. Consequently, Enel X International now holds an indirect stake of 19.5% in Ufinet, of which it had previously held 20.6%. The transaction generated a positive net cash flow of about €73 million and had a positive impact on operating performance of about €220 million.
TWh, for around €1,265 million.
The Group will determine the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed within 12 months of the acquisition date.

Following the transaction, the residual investment in Ufinet was classified under other investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Previously it had been accounted for using the equity method.
In line with the recommendations of ESMA, contained in the public statements(5) published in March, May, July and October 2020, and of CONSOB, contained in warning notices no. 6/20 of April 9, 2020, no. 8/20 of July 16, 2020 and no. 1/21 of February 16, 2021, the Group has continued to carefully monitor the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic with regard to the main areas affected by it and in the main countries in which it operates, as already discussed in the Integrated Annual Report at December 31, 2021, in order to assess, based on our specific corporate circumstances and the availability of reliable information, the scale of the impact of COVID-19 on operations, performance and financial position of the Group at March 31, 2022. In this regard, note that the figures registered in the 1st Quarter of 2022 were not significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, the changes in revenue and receivables in the period compared with the year-earlier period did not display any anomalous developments attributable to the direct and/or indirect effects of the pandemic. Nor did non-financial assets and any impairment losses recognized (IAS 36) as well as the measurement of trade receivables (IFRS 9) experience any significant changes compared with December 31, 2021 as a result of the CO-VID-19 pandemic that would require further discussion.
The presentation of performance and financial position by Business Line and Geographical Area presented here is based on the approach used by management in monitoring Group performance for the two periods being compared.

(1) For comparative purposes only, €40 million in the 1st Quarter of 2021 in respect of the component recognized through profit or loss deriving from the remeasurement at fair value of the financial assets connected with service concession arrangements involving distribution operations in Brazil falling within the scope of IFRIC 12 have been reclassified from financial income to revenue. The latter classification had an impact of the same amount on operating profit. For more details, please see note 2 to these condensed consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2022.
(2) The figures for the first three months of 2021 have been adjusted, for comparative purposes only, to take account of the effects associated with the change in classification connected with the fair value measurement of outstanding contracts at the end of the period for the purchase and sale of commodities with physical settlement. The change in classification had no impact on operating profit. For more details, please see note 2 to these condensed consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2022.
In the 1st Quarter of 2022 revenue from the "sale of electricity" amounted to €16,990 million, up €7,895 million on the same period of the previous year (+86.8%). The increase, which was largely accounted for by Italy (€4,810 million) and Spain (€2,247 million) mainly reflected an increase in volumes and the rise in electricity prices.
"Transfers from institutional market operators" decreased by €335 million on the 1st Quarter of 2021, mainly due to a decrease in transfers for extra-peninsular generation in Spain as a result of the increase in sales prices and the associated margins.
The increase in revenue from the "sale of gas" of €1,626 million on the 1st Quarter of 2021 was mainly attributable to an increase in volume sold and rising average prices, primarily in Spain (€975 million) and Italy (€575 million).
Revenue from the "sale of fuels" increased by €999 million, with the rise primarily being registered by Enel Global Trading as a result of the increase in gas prices.
The increase in revenue from the "sale of commodities under contracts with physical settlement", measured at fair value through profit or loss within the scope of IFRS 9 (€6,350 million), mainly regarded the sale of gas. This positive effect was partly offset by a decline in revenue from the fair value measurement of closed contracts compared with the 1st Quarter of 2021 (-€717 million), mainly regarding gas.

The gain on sale of entities in the 1st Quarter of 2022 amounted to €228 million, mainly accounted for by the gain on the sale by Enel X International of 1.1% of the investment in Ufinet (€220 million).
"Other revenue" showed an increase of €30 million, primarily attributable to Enel Green Power North America as a result of an increase in income from tax partnerships (€17 million) and reimbursements for damages connected with the Whitney Hill and Aurora Wind projects (€12 million).

(1) The figures for the first three months of 2021 have been adjusted, for comparative purposes only, to take account of the effects associated with the change in classification connected with the fair value measurement of outstanding contracts at the end of the period for the purchase and sale of commodities with physical settlement. The change in classification had no impact on operating profit. For more details, please see note 2 to these condensed consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2022.
Costs for "electricity purchases" increased as a result of greater volumes purchased at increasing average prices compared with the first three months of 2021, with the increases coming mainly in Italy (€5,670 million) and Spain (€1,707 million). The item includes the results from the fair value measurement of electricity purchase contracts with physical settlement closed in the first three months of 2022, which posted an increase of €249 million compared with the corresponding period of 2021.
The increase in costs for "consumption of fuel for electricity generation" mainly reflects an increase in average prices, mainly in Italy and Spain.
The increase in costs for the purchase of "fuels for trading and gas for sale to end users" essentially reflects the price effect of commodities, especially gas.
That increase was offset by the results from the fair value measurement of gas purchase contracts with physical settlement closed in the first three months of 2022, which decreased by €928 million compared with the corresponding period of 2021.
The costs for "materials" essentially increased due to the higher purchase costs for CO2, mainly regarding the results of the fair value measurement of outstanding contracts with physical settlement (IFRS 9).
In the first three months of 2022, the increase of €22 million in costs for "personnel" mainly reflects the increase in costs for wages, salaries and other personnel remuneration as a result of new hiring.
The Enel Group workforce at March 31, 2022 numbered 66,867, of whom 36,150 employed abroad. In the first three months of 2022, the workforce increased by 588, reflecting the balance between new hires and terminations (+475) and the change in the consolidation scope (+113), mainly reflecting the acquisition of ERG Hydro Srl (now Enel Hydro Appennino Centrale Srl) in Italy.
The overall change compared with December 31, 2021 breaks down as follows:
| Balance at December 31, 2021 | 66,279 |
|---|---|
| Hirings | 1,387 |
| Terminations | (912) |
| Change in consolidation scope | 113 |
| Balance at March 31, 2022 | 66,867 |
The increase in costs for "services, leases and rentals" is mainly due to an increase in costs for service concession arrangements in Brazil, greater costs for value-added services and an increase in spending on professional and technical services.
The rise in "depreciation, amortization and impairment losses" mainly reflects an increase in impairment losses recognized in the 1st Quarter of 2022 on trade receivables, an increase in depreciation due to the reduction of the useful life of first-generation digital meters and depreciation on property, plant and equipment as a result of new capital expenditure in recent years in the renewable energy sector.
"Costs of environmental certificates" increased by €479 million, due in particular to the significant increase in the prices of CO2 commodity and the increase in the output of thermal generation plants.
"Other operating expenses" decreased by €38 million, mainly due to the effect of the decrease in costs associated with the suspension of payment of the tax on the value of electricity generation (IVPEE) starting from the second half of 2021, partially offset by an increase in costs connected with the increase in fees for the occupation of public roads, both recorded in Spain.
"Capitalized costs" increased by €126 million, mainly reflecting the greater investments in distribution plants in Latin America, greater investments connected with the installation of new-generation meters and a rise in the capitalization of the costs of personnel involved in work on renewables plants in Italy.
Net results from commodity contracts showed net income of €1,156 million in the first three months of 2022 (net expense of €81 million in the same period of 2021) and break down as follows:
• net income on commodity derivatives totaling €1,133 million (net income of €282 million in the 1st Quarter of 2021), including derivatives designated as cash flow hedges and derivatives measured at fair value through profit or loss. More specifically, net income from deriv-
Net financial expense decreased by €50 million on the same period of 2021.
More specifically, financial income in the first three months of 2022 amounted to €1,662 million, a decrease of €345 million on the same period of 2021 (€2,007 million). The change mainly reflected a decrease of €724 million in income from derivative instruments, essentially in respect of designated cash flow hedge derivatives to hedge the risk of fluctuations in exchange rates for loans denominated in foreign currencies.
atives settled in the period amounted to €987 million (net expense of €49 million the 1st Quarter of 2021) and the net fair value gain from measurement of outstanding derivatives came to €146 million (net gain of €331 million the 1st Quarter of 2021);
• net fair value gain through profit or loss on outstanding energy commodity contracts with physical settlement amounting to €23 million (net loss of €363 million the 1st Quarter of 2021).
This was partially offset by:
Financial expense in the first three months of 2022 amounted to €2,104 million, a decrease of €379 million compared with the first three months of 2021. The change is mainly attributable to the following factors:
• a decrease of €871 million in exchange losses;
• a decrease of €27 million in interest expense, mainly in respect of bonds.
This was partially offset by an increase of €469 million in expense on derivative instruments, mainly attributable to the measurement of outstanding contracts to hedge the risk of fluctuations in exchange rates for loans denominated in foreign currencies.
Finally, income from hyperinflation adjustments recognized by the Argentine companies in application of IAS 29 concerning accounting for hyperinflationary economies amounted to €31 million in the first three months of 2022, an increase of €16 million on the same period of 2021 (€15 million).
The share of net profit of equity-accounted investments in the first three months of 2022 amounted to €43 million. The change of €9 million mainly reflected the loss posted in the first three months of 2021 on the investment in Open Fiber, which was subsequently sold in 2021.
Income taxes for the 1st Quarter of 2022 amounted to €661 million, equal to 28.6% of pre-tax profit (compared with 30.1% for the first three months of 2021). The decrease in the tax rate essentially reflected:
These positive factors were partly offset by the tax effect of the application of hyperinflation accounting in Argentina (€17 million) and the higher costs incurred in Italy in respect of the windfall profits tax to fund programs to reduce utility bills provided for in Decree Law 21/2022 (€41 million).
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, including investment property, amounted to €107,476 million at March 31, 2022, an increase of €4,743 million. The change is mainly attributable to investments in the period (€2,265 million), exchange gains, primarily in Latin America (€2,951 million), and changes in the consolidation scope (€621 million). The latter are mainly attributable to the acquisition of ERG Hydro Srl (now Enel Hydro Appennino Centrale Srl) in Italy.
These positive impacts were partially offset by depreciation, amortization and impairment losses of €1,477 million.
Goodwill amounted to €14,566 million, an increase of €745 million, of which €585 million attributable to the acquisition by Enel Produzione SpA of 100% of ERG Hydro Srl (now Enel Hydro Appennino Centrale Srl) on January 3, 2022 and the remainder to exchange gains, mainly in Brazil.
Equity-accounted investments amounted to €590 million, a decrease of €114 million compared with the end of the previous year, mainly reflecting:

(1) The item includes investments in contract assets of €268 million at March 31, 2022 and €907 million at December 31, 2021.
The increase of €3,982 million in the period is essentially due to:
Inventories amounted to €3,414 million, an increase of €305 million, most of which was recognized in Latin America, Spain and Italy, essentially reflecting the increase in inventories of fuel and CO2 emissions allowances.
• an increase in "deferred tax assets", mainly due to the increase in deferred tax assets linked to developments in the fair value of cash flow hedge derivatives, partially offset by the reversal of deferred tax assets on differences in the value of non-current assets, mainly in Italy, and the reversal of deferred tax assets by Enel Iberia, the parent of the consolidated tax group in Spain;
• an increase in "non-current financial assets and securities included in net financial debt", mainly due to an increase of €144 million in long-term loan assets.
Trade receivables amounted to €18,959 million, an increase of €2,883 million, mainly accounted for by Spain (€1,192 million), Latin America (€1,142 million) and Italy (€453 million).

| Total | 50,138 | 37,089 | 13,049 | 35.2% |
The increase in the period of €13,049 million is due to:
Italian electrical system of €2,040 million (€1,519 million at December 31, 2021) and the Spanish electrical system of €723 million (€667 million at December 31, 2021). More specifically, in Italy the increase is mainly attributable to an increase in amounts due from the Energy and Environmental Services Fund, mainly claimed by Servizio Elettrico Nazionale and essentially connected with purchase equalization mechanisms;
• an increase in "other short-term amounts due" mainly
regarding an increase in prepaid expenses, essentially in respect of fees for water diversion for industrial use, insurance premiums, advances paid to third parties and amounts due in respect of settled commodity derivatives (€503 million), primarily in Italy and Spain.
The increase in the period was partially offset by a decrease in "current financial assets and securities included in net financial debt", essentially reflecting a reduction in financial assets in respect of cash collateral paid to counterparties for derivatives transactions (€908 million), partially offset by an increase in the short-term portion of non-current financial assets.
The item essentially includes assets measured at their 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 for classification under this item.
The balance at March 31, 2022 mainly regards a number of renewable energy companies in Africa held for sale (€1,194 million), a number of Enel X companies in Italy (€214 million) and the Spanish company Tecnatom (€27 million).
The increase of €2,995 million in the first three months of 2022 in equity attributable to the owners of the Parent mainly reflects profit recognized through profit or loss for the period (€1,430 million) and the recognition of the profit recognized through other comprehensive income (€1,784 million).
Long-term borrowings amounted to €57,571 million (€54,500 million at December 31, 2021). They consist of bonds totaling €42,065 million (€39,099 million at December 31, 2021), bank borrowings of €12,697 million (€12,579 million at December 31, 2021) and other borrowings of €2,809 million (€2,822 million at December 31, 2021). The item increased by €3,071 million, mainly due to the increase in bonds (€2,966 million), essentially attributable to new issues, and the rise in bank borrowings (€118 million).
Provisions and deferred tax liabilities amounted to €20,598 million at March 31, 2022 (€19,180 million at December 31, 2021) and include:
the nuclear decommissioning provision of €665 million (€666 million at December 31, 2021);
the plant dismantling and site restoration provision of €3,052 million (€3,066 million at December 31, 2021):
Other non-current liabilities amounted to €16,665 million (€14,198 million at December 31, 2021), an increase of €2,467 million, largely reflecting the change in the fair value of financial derivatives (€2,177 million), mainly in respect of derivatives used to hedge commodity price risk.
Short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term borrowings amounted to €18,452 million (€17,337 million at December 31, 2021) and included short-term borrowings of €14,295 million (€13,306 million at December 31, 2021) and the current portion of long-term borrowings of €4,157 million (€4,031 million at December 31, 2021). The item increased by €1,115 million, primarily reflecting the rise in short-term borrowings (€989 million).
Trade payables amounted to €17,480 million (€16,959 million at December 31, 2021), up €521 million, mainly reflecting normal developments in the supply chain, accentuated by an increase in costs for fuel provisioning and the appreciation of the currencies of the Latin American countries against the euro.

The change in the period is essentially due to:
ties for value-added tax (€779 million), as well as the estimated income tax liability for the period (€250 million). These factors were partially offset by:
The balance at March 31, 2022 primarily includes the liabilities connected with a number of companies held for sale that operate in the renewable generation sector in Africa and a number of Enel X companies in Italy.
The net financial position at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is reported below 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 CON-SOB on April 29, 2021, reconciled with net financial debt as provided for in the presentation methods of the Enel Group.

With Law 20416 of February 5, 2019, the state of Goiás shortened from January 27, 2015 to April 24, 2012 the period of operation of the Funac fund (established with Law 17555 of January 20, 2012) and the tax benefit system (established with Law 19473 of November 3, 2016) that allowed Enel Distribuição Goiás to obtain reimbursement of payments of certain amounts by offsetting against payment obligations in respect of the ICMS.
On February 25, 2019, Enel Distribuição Goiás appealed the provisions of Law 20416 before the Court of the state of Goiás, filing a writ of mandamus and an accompanying petition for a precautionary suspension, which after initially being denied on a preliminary basis and subsequently allowed, was then again denied on October 1, 2019 by the Court of the state of Goiás with an order revoking the precautionary measure previously granted. Accordingly, the effects of the law were restored as from that date. Enel Distribuição Goiás filed an appeal against this decision, claiming that the right to guaranteed tax credits has both a legal and contractual basis and that, therefore, the actions that the state of Goiás has taken to fully suspend the application of these laws are patently unfounded. On October 2, 2019, the appeal filed by Enel Distribuição Goiás was denied. On November 21, 2019 and then on May 5, 2020, Enel Distribuição Goiás challenged before the Superior Tribunal de Justiça (STJ) this decision and a subsequent decision of February 27, 2020, with which the Tribunal de Justiça (TJ) declared the appeal inadmissible. These proceedings are continuing.

With measure issued at the hearing of July 20, 2021, and subsequently confirmed on September 17, 2021, the Court of the state of Goiás denied the precautionary relief requested by Enel Distribuição Goiás.
