OPERATIONAL RESULTS

Charged energy volume

In the first semester of 2016, the amount of charged energy for the services provided on the energy market has recorded a minor increase of 0.8% as to the first semester of 2015 (the difference between the two periods of time is of +0.2 TWh).

Operational incomes

The incomes obtained during January – June 2016 decreased by 5.4% compared to the same period of the previous year (1,350 mil lei in the 1st S 2016 from 1,426 mil lei in 1st S 2015).

Functionally, the allowed profit activities recorded an income decrease by 12.7% (648 mil lei from 743 mil lei in 1st S 2015), caused by the decrease of the average taxes approved by Regulatory Authority for Energy (ANRE) for the transmission service, starting Jully 1 2015, given the fact that the energy consumption recorded a minor increase.

Incomes resulted from the interconnection capacity allocation decreased by 21.5% as to the value achieved in the 1st semester 2015 (40 mil lei in S1 2016 from 50 mil lei in S1 2015).

Starting with 2016, on the borders with Hungary and Bulgaria, the UIOSI principle has come into effect and according to it, the participants who do not use the capacity obtained at monthly and annual auctions on are paid for unused capacity through market mechanisms..

The interconnection capacity allocation market is changing, the prices are evolving according to the needs and demands of the energy market participants to purchase interconnection capacity.

In the first semester of 2016 within the auction sessions the prices on the Bulgarian, Hungarian and Serbian borders have been lower comparing to first semester 2015, which led to a decrease of the incomes resulted from interconnection capacity allocation by the amount of 10.9 mil lei.

The use of net incomes resulted from interconnection capacity allocation is achieved in accordance with the provisions of ANRE Order no.53/2013, art. 22 line (4) and of Regulation (CE) no. 714/2009 art. 16, line (6) as financing source of investments for the updating and development of the interconnection capacity with neighboring systems.

*includes the incomes resulted from the transmission fee and from functional system services.

The total incomes from zero-profit activities have increased by 2.6% (701 mil lei from 684 mil lei in S1 2015) because of the income increase on balancing market by 4.1 %, the imbalances are being higher in 1st semester 2016 due to adverse weather conditions.

Revenue from technological system services registered a minor increase of 0.9% (approx. 4 mn). Profit 2 mn was achieved due to favorable market conditions and good management of the procurement process by auction of the necessary power reserves from electricity producers, materialized in obtaining auctions of average unit prices lower than the projected unit prices that were the basis for calculating the tariff for technological system services.

Operational expenses

The total operational expenses (including amortization) achieved during January – June 2016 have decreased by 0.5% compared to the same time of the previous year (1,169 mil lei from 1,176 mil lei).

The expenses for allowed profit activities (without amortization) have increased by 2.4% (307 mil lei from 300 mil lei).

OTC: The total cost to purchase the energy necessary to cover the own technological consumption has decreased by 5.5% during January – June 2016 compared to the same time in 2015.

The decrease from 532 GWh to 508 GWh was due to both a lower consumption, as well as a result of purchasing energy for OTC from the free energy market at lower prices compared to those recorded in the 1st semester 2015.

The decrese of technological losses in terms of quantity was due mainly to import/export flows which had been more advantageous in term of OTC to more favorable weather conditions which led to the decrease of the Corona type losses and more favorable distribution of production.

In the 1st semester 2016 the average unitary cost for purchase was lower by 1.1% compared to the same time in 2015, respectively 175.8 lei/ MWh in 2016 compared to 177.7 lei/ MWh.

Congestions: the Congestions (network restrictions) represents the requests for energy transmission over the limits of the network technical capacity, for which the transmission and system operator has to perform corrective actions and they occur when programming the operation or during the operation in real time, the power circulation between two joints or system areas leads to failure to comply with the safety parametres during the electricity system operation.

Thus, in order to comply with the safety criteria in Dobrogea, there has been a decrease of the values notified by certain participants on the balancing market which deliver in the 110 kV Dobrogea electricity network and Tariverde 400 kV Station. This led to congestions expenses in January 2016 in the amount of 2.6 mil lei.

The costs for zero-profit activities decreased by approximately 2.3% (700 mil lei from 716 mil lei in S1 2015).

In the first semester of 2016 the expenses for technological system services decreased by 8.4% compared to the same time in 2015 due to:

  • The reduction of the technological system services acquisition in regulated conditions, fully technological system services acquisitions;
  • The prices for the technological system services acquisition on competitive market have been lower than regulated prices;
  • The increase of competitivity on technological system services market, the average prices for purchasing secondary reserves and slow tertiary reserves have been lower.

The National Power Grid Co. Transelectrica reinvoices the value of the technological system services purchased from producers to the energy suppliers licensed by ANRE who profit in the end of these services.

Operational Profit

EBITDA decreased by 16.5% compared to same time in 2015 (343 mil lei in S1 2016 from 410 mil lei in S1 2015), this evolution being caused mainly by the reduction of average tariffs approved by ANRE for transmission service.

The allowed profit activities recorded a positive result (EBIT) but 36.8% lower than the one in S1 2015 (179 mil lei compared to 282 mil lei the previous year) due to the significant decrease of incomes.

The EBIT resulted from zero-profit activities recorded a positive result of 2 mil lei, increased compared to the negative result recorded in the first semester of 2015 (- 32 mil lei).

For the entire activity, EBIT decreased by approximately 28.0% (180 mil lei from 250 mil lei in S1 2016).

Gross Profit (EBT)

The gross profit decreased by 29.8%, to 175 mil lei in S1 2016 from 249 mil lei in S1 2015.

The difference between the S1 2016 and the S1 2015 profit split in profit constitutive elements is shown below.

Financial result

The net financial result in the first half of 2016 was negative (5.5 mn), up from a negative net result of 1.7 million lei registered 30 June 2015.

The financial result recorded this decrease mainly due to the lower dividends received from subsidiaries TELETRANS and OPCOM.

Interest income decreased in the first half of 2016 of 49.8% compared to first half 2015 mainly due to lower interest rates on cash reserves on accounts / bank deposits.

Evolution ROBOR (3M and 6M)

The evolution of net exchange differences was driven mainly by developments in the exchange rate of national currency against foreign currencies in witch Transelectrica has contracted bank loans to finance investment programs (mainly the Euro). Thus, the net gain recorded in the first six months was 0.4 million.

Exchange rate evolution

Net profit

Net profit recorded a decrease of approx. 32.6% compared to the one recorded in S1 2015 (142 mil lei from 210 mil lei).

Operational data

ENERGY BALANCE IN THE NPS

The net internal consumtion1 increased by 0.6% compared to the same period last year.

The net power output decreased about 4.3% compared to the same period of 2015 mainly because of minor increase of domestic consumption counterbalanced by the significant decrease of the exported energy.

The cross-border physical exchanges for export decreased 15.5% compared to 2015 while the import cross-border flows increased about 136.0%.

Decreased energy from nuclear sources was due to the planned shutdown of Unit 1 of Cernavoda NPP during May 6, 2016 - June 25, 2016 (in 2015 Unit 2 was stopped planned period 06.05 - 06.02.2015).

MIX OF PRODUCTION

During the first semester of 2016 compared to the first semester 2015, the thermal component share had increased by 2.5% (+275 GWh) to the detriment of renewable energy component that decreased by 1.9% (-771 GWh).

Decreases were also recorded in the hydropower (-527 GWh) by approx. 0.3% and in the energy producted from nuclear sources (-298 GWh).

NATIONAL PRODUCTION PARK

During the first semester of 2016, the gross power installed within the electrical stations recorded a minor increase of 0.4% compared to the first semester of 2015.

The power installed within the station on renewable source increased during January – June 2016 comparing to the last year similar period by approximately 3.1% (133 MW) from 4,345 MW installed on June 30, 2015, to 4,477 MW installed on the June 30, 2016.

The installed power dynamics corresponding to S1 2016, respectively 2015, is presented below:

1 Values do not include the consumtion corresponding to own services within the electricity production stations; the net consumtion value includes losses from the distribution and transmission networks as well as the pumps consumtion within the hydro stations with pumpingaccumulation.

2016 Installed power (24.672 MW, gross value)

2015 Installed power (24.582 MW, gross value)

CROSS-BORDER FLOWS

The cross-border flows increased with Bulgaria and decreased with Hungary, Serbia and Ukraine but the values recorded are lower than the same period of the previous year.

Thus, compared to S1 2015, the export physical flow with Hungary (-60.0%, -496.9 GWh) and Serbia (- 33.0%, -297.8 GWh) decreased while a greater quantity of energy was exported to Bulgaria (+15.4%, +283.8 GWh).

The import physical flow increased especially with Serbia (+458.5%, +216.6 GWh), Hungary (+429.1%, +293.7 GWh) and Ukraine (+88.0%, +408.2 GWh)

In conclusion the usage degree of the total allocated capacity on the interconnection lines for export decreased compared to the same time of 2015, significant decreases being recorded with Serbia and Hungary.

There were no import/export operations recorded with the Republic of Moldova in the first six months of 2016 and 2015.

Both the import and export physical flows on each border are presented below.

The import and export commercial flows for each border are presented below.

OWN TECHNOLOGICAL CONSUMPTION

The necessary amount to cover the OTC in TPN (-0.5 TWh) decreased in S1 2016 by approx. 4.6%compared to the same time in 2015, due to more favorable weather conditions, import/export physical flows and more advantageous prodution structure. Reported to the energy contour input, the losses dropped slightly from 2.59% to 2.45%.

Minimum/maximum monthly value

The absolute value OTC in January 2016 decreased comparing to January 2015 by approximately 7.77% due to the favorable import/export flows and more advantageous production repartition, especially hydrocarbon production growth, which led to the reduction of energy transport away from the production sources.

The losses percentage reported at the TPN input energy decreased from 2.5% in January 2015 to 2.22% in January 2016. The net internal energy consumption was higher than in January 2015 by 3.79%. The contour input energy also increased by 4.18% in January 2016, comparing to the similar period of 2015.

In March 2016 the absolute value OTC dropped compared to March 2015 by approx. 2.43% due to more favorable weather conditions which led to a decrease in Corona losses and in more advantageous production mix which led to the reduction of energy transmission away from the sources.

The contour input energy also dropped by 3.37% in March 2016 compared to the same time in 2015. The losses percentage reported to the TPN energy input increased from 2.60% in 2015 to 2.63% in 2016.

Investments

The transmission tariff

DIRECTORATE MEMBERSHIP

On 30.06.2016, the Directorate Membership was as follows:

Ion - Toni TEAU Chairman of Directorate
Octavian LOHAN Directorate Member
Constantin VĂDUVA Directorate Member
Luca-Nicolae IACOBICI Directorate Member

The tariff decrease by 10.8% shows mainly the negative corrections applied to compensate the difference between the forecasted values used in calculating the tariff in the previous years and the values recorded (final corrections for the year 01.07.2014-30.06.2015, preliminary corrections for the year 01.07.2015 – 30.06.2016) according to the methodology in force.

The ex-post corrections added to the decrease of the tariff by 7.2%. The most important elements of the expost corrections applied in calculating the new approved tariff are: (i) the price of energy purchased to cover the own technological consumption; (ii) inflation index; (iii) using a part of the incomes resulted from interconnection capacity allocation as a complementary source for regulated tariff in order to cover the regulated costs; (iv) the increase of consumption and energy export above the level forecasted by ANRE when planning the tariff.

There were also other elements besides the negative corrections that led to the decrease of the tariff:

  • The inflation index rate added when calculating the new approved tariff (lower than the inflation index used when calculating the tariff the previous year) decreased the tariff by 2.8%.
  • Both, the basic income calculated as sum of the regulated costs (lower than the one on the previous year due to efficiency requirements

applied to the acknowledged operational costs) and the lining up of incomes within the regulation period had decreased the tariff by 0.8%.

Functional system services tariff

The increase by 11.1% of the tariff was due to high level of negative corrections applied to the previous year tariff compared to the minor negative correction applied to the new approved tariff, the corrections increasing the tariff by 16.2%. The acknowledged cost base in the new approved tariff is slightly lower than the previous year cost base, the acknowledged costs having a share of -5.1% in the tariff evolution.

Technological system services tariff

The decrease of the tariff by 7.9% was due to:

  • The negative correction applied in the new approved tariff to compensate the estimated profit to be recorded in the year 01.07.2015- 30.06.2016 determined by the significant drop of the acquisition auction prices for the power reserves, as compared to the positive corrections included in the tariff for 01.07.2015-30.06.2016 for recovering a historical loss. The corrections have a share of -4.8% in the tariff decrease.
  • The acknowledged costs base in the new approved tariff for the acquisition of power reserves in the year 01.07.2016 – 30.06.2017 is lower than the acknowledged costs base in the year 01.07.2015-30.06.2016, because the auction acquisition prices for power reserves were lower the last year. The decrease of acknowledged costs leads to a decrease in tariff by -3.2%.

LITIGATIONS

The most significant litigations involving the Company are presented below:

ANAF

The company is in dispute with ANAF, which issued a tax audit report on September 20, 2011 regarding the VAT reimbursement for September 2005 – November 2006, for 123 unused invoices identified as missing, special regime documents and for which it was estimated a collected VAT of 16,303,174 lei plus the accessories in the amount of 27,195,557 lei. The counter value of these obligations in the total amount of 43,498,731 lei, was deducted from the VAT paid by the Company in November. Subsequently, the Company has found that the current VAT amounts paid were taken into consideration for the amounts settlement within the tax audit report above mentioned.

Thus, the Company was forced to pay penalties of 944,423 lei, corresponding to the VAT which should have been paid in November 2011, in order not to register overdue debts to the state budget. Altogether, in 2011, the Company paid the amount of 44,442,936 lei.

The company submitted an appeal to ANAF against the notice of assessment and requested its suspension until the administrative settlement of the complaint submitted to ANAF. The Court rejected the request for the notice of assessment's suspension of the tax audit report execution.

At the hearing set on April 30, 2014, the resolution issued by the trial court – Bucharest Appellate Court, Section VIII Administrative and Fiscal Legal Department (Decision no. 1356/2014) in the case File no. 6657/2/2012 was the following: "Rejects the request of NPG Transelectrica SA complainant (Complaint against ANAF Fiscal administrative Document)". The Company appealed against the Decision no. 1356/2014, the following hearing being established for April 7, 2016. On April 7, 2016, due to a lack of procedure, a new hearing has been established for 02.06.2016.

On 06/02/2016 the court adjourned for the day 06/16/2016 when it dismissed the appeal made by the National Power Grid Company "Transelectrica" against Sentence no.1365 from 30 April 2014 of the Court of Appeal - Section VIII administrative and fiscal, as unfounded. The sentence is final.

ANRE

NPG Transelectrica SA issued a complaint against the ANRE President's Order no. 51 / 26.06.2014 ANRE registration no. 47714 / 04.08.2014 and an appeal to the Bucharest Appellate Court which is the subject of the case file no. 4921/2/2014, requesting either the above mentioned Order's modification or issuing a new order, for the recalculation of the RRR value to the 9.87% level (recalculated with a coefficient (β) of 1.0359, according to the internal Transelectrica verifications) or, to the extent that this request will be rejected, using the same percentage of 8.52% established by ANRE for 2013 and the first semester of 2014.

On June 26, 2014, the ANRE Order no. 51 was issued, published in the Official Gazette no. 474/27.06.2014, regarding the approval of the average transport tax, system service tax and local taxes corresponding to the transport service performed by National Power Grid Company Transelectrica S.A., and abrogation of the Annex no. 1 of the ANRE President's Order no. 96 / 2013 regarding the approval of the transmission service average tax, system service tax, local taxes corresponding to the transport service and the taxes for reactive electricity, practiced by the operators in the electricity sector.

The values considered when calculating the regulated return rate (RRR1 ) by ANRE according to the Methodology of establishing the taxes for electricity transport service approved by the ANRE Order no. 53/ 2013 ("Methodology"), determined a RRR value of 7.7%.

NPG Transelectrica SA considers that applying the provisions of Art. 51 from the Methodology by establishing the Beta parameter (β) value of 0.432 will determine the company's financial prejudicing, by decreasing the return rate with an estimated value of 138.4 mil lei³ having a significant impact on the financial interests of the society.

At the hearing on 09.02.2016, the law court accepted the evidence with accounting expertise – financial investments specialty and other securities entities, prorogued the evidence deliberation with technical expertise – electro-energetic specialty, after submitting the evidence with accounting expertise – financial investments specialty and other securities entities.

COURT OF ACCOUNT

Following an inspection performed in 2013, The Court of Accounts decided that the Company should implement certain measures as a result of deficiencies found during this inspection. The decision and conclusion issued by the Court of Accounts were appealed to the Bucharest Appellate Court, case file no. 1658/2/2014.

In the hearing held on January 20, 2016, the law court postponed the case so as the accountant can state his own opinion regarding the complainant's objections on the performed expertise report and so as the technical expert can perform the expertise paper.

On 29.06.2016 the court postponed the case in order to complete the technical expertise report. The next hearing was set on 26.10.2016.
