OPERATIONAL RESULTS

Billed amount of energy

From Jan to Sept 2015 the quantity of electricity billed for services provided on the electricity market grew 3.4% compared to the billed amount in the same period of last year (38.90 MWh, increasing from 37.61 MWh in 2014).

In Q3 2015 compared with Q3 2014 the quantity of billed electricity grew 3.9%. 3.1% increase is also seen when comparing also the billed volume of Q3 with that of Q2 (from 12.25 MWh Q2 2015 to 12.63 MWh Q3 2015).

Operational revenues

January – September 2015

Revenues achieved in the first nine months of 2015 increased 13.4% compared to the similar period of last year (2,216 mill Lei in 2015 from 1,954 mill Lei in 2014), growth being recorded in both operational segments (profit allowed and zero-profit activities).

Profit allowed activities registered 1.3% revenue increase (1,064 mill Lei from 1,050 mill Lei in 2014), sustained by higher electricity volumes carried in the SEN, mainly against the background of increased electricity consumption. Given the higher energy exports in the first nine months of 2015, competition grew on the market allocating cross-border interconnection capacities and resulted in significant growth by 68.3% of revenues from the allocation of interconnection capacities compared to the similar period of last year.

Operational reveneus from profit allowed activities

Total revenues from zero-profit activities grew 27.4% (1,152 mill Lei from 904 mill Lei in 2014) determined by the 61.3% higher revenues from the balancing market administration compared to the similar period of 2014.

As regards revenues from technological system services, minor 0.6% drop is ascertained (approx. 3 mill Lei).

July – September 2015

Revenues achieved in Q3 2015 increased 24.4% compared to Q3 2014 (789 mill Lei in 2015 from 635 mill Lei in 2014), growth being recorded in the zero profit activities (+69.4%). Revenues grew 22.0% in comparison with Q2 2015.

Profit allowed activities registered 10.4% revenue decrease (321 mill Lei from 358 mill Lei in 2014), mainly because of the amended electricity transmission tariffs on 1 July 2015. The negative impact of tariff changes was compensated by higher revenues from the allocation of interconnection capacities (+21% compared to the similar period of 2014) as a result of higher energy exports.

Revenues from profit allowed activities showed decreasing trend in Q3 compared to the preceding quarter of 2015. Thus in July – September 2015 compared to April – June 2015 revenues achieved with profit allowed activities decreased 8.9% against the background of the negative change in the electricity transmission tariffs and reduced revenues from the allocation of interconnection capacities.

* includes the revenues from the transmission tariff and from the rates of functional system services

* includes the revenues from the transmission tariff and from the rates of functional system services

Total revenues from zero-profit activities grew 69.4% (468 mill Lei from 277 mill Lei in 2014) determined by significant 151.7% increase of revenues from balancing market administration and 3.7% growth of revenues from technological system services (about 5 mill Lei).

The same positive development is noticed when comparing with the previous quarter of 2015, with 58.9% growth (468 mill Lei from 295 mill Lei in Q2). In July – September revenues from the balancing market increased 151.7% compared to April – June.

Operational expenses

January – September 2015

Expenses (including amortisement) made in the first nine months of 2015 increased 16% compared to the similar period of last year (1,857 mill Lei from 1,599 mill Lei).

Expenses of profit allowed activities (excluding amortisement) decreased 1.2% (452 mill Lei from 458 mill Lei).

CPT: The total cost to procure electricity necessary to cover one's own technological consumption grew 7.9% in January - September 2015 compared to the similar period of 2014.

In quantitative terms technological losses increased (from 727 GWh in 2014 to 769 GWh in 2015 in absolute value, from 2.35% in 2014 to 2.41% in 2015 against the power input in the grid) mainly because of increased share of power transmitted within the RET and the import / export flows, less benefic in terms of technological losses.

In the first nine months of 2015 the average unit cost of procurement was 1% higher than the similar perid of 2014, namely 180 Lei/ MWh in 2015 compared to 178 Lei/ MWh.

Zero-profit activities recorded cost growth of about 31.1% (1165 mill Lei from 889 mill Lei in 2014), determined by higher expenses both on the balancing market and when procuring power reserves required to balance the national power system (the prices which Transelectrica procures the greatest part of power reserves with in order to provide technological system services are set by ANRE).

July – September 2015

Expenses (including amortisement) made in Q3 2015 increased 28.6% compared to the similar period of last year (681 mill Lei from 530 mill Lei). Expenses made increased 24.8% in comparison with the previous quarter of 2015.

Expenses of profit allowed activities (excluding amortisement) decreased 0.8% (152 mill Lei in Q3 2015 from 154 mill Lei in Q3 2014, while such drop is 3% compared to the second quarter).

CPT: The total cost to procure electricity necessary to cover one's own technological consumption grew 9.8% in July - September 2015 compared to the similar period of 2014 but dropped 0.8% compared to April – June 2015.

If in quantitative terms technological losses increased (from 236 GWh in Q3 2014 to 237 GWh in Q3 2015), in absolute value they decreased (from 2.21% in Q3 2014 to 2.08% in Q3 2015) mainly because of increased share of power transmitted within the RET and the import / export flows, less benefic in terms of technological losses.

In comparison with Q2 2015 technological losses significantly dropped 9% from 260 GWh in Q2 to 237 GWh in Q3 in absolute value and 63 pp from 2.72% in Q2 to 2.08% in Q3 compared to the power input in the grid due to slightly more benefic physical flows (higher share of hydrocarbon-fired power plants (Iernut, Brazi) found in deficit generation source areas).

In Q3 2015 the average unit cost was 7.8% higher than the similar period of 2014, namely 183.6 Lei / MWh in 2015 against 170.3 lei / MWh. Compared to the previous quarter, the average unit cost grew 8.7% from 169.0 Lei / MWh in Q2 2015 to 183.6 Lei / MWh in Q3 2015.

Zero-profit activities recorded cost increase of about 52.5% (450 mill Lei in Q3 2015 from 295 mill Lei in Q3 2014), determined by the 151.7% growth of balancing market expenses.

Operational expenses of zero-profit activities grew 45.9% in the third quarter compared to the second quarter of 2015 because of the significant increase of expenses for system balancing (+120.7%).

Operational profit

January – September 2015

EBITDA decreased about 1.5% compared to the similar period of 2014 (598 mill Lei in 2015 from 607 mill Lei in 2014), such development being mainly determined by the impact of zero profit activities segment.

Profit allowed activities have got positive result 3.2% higher than that achieved in the similar period of 2014 (611 mill Lei against 592 mill Lei in the previous year).

Zero-profit activities have got negative result of 13 mill Lei compared to 2014 (with pozitive result of 15 mill Lei).

The non-null (loss) result from zero-profit activities was determined by some temporary imbalance between the procurement cost of system reserves and revenues from the rates of technological system services.

Also the net result corresponding to technological system serivces has got positive impact from ANRE's adjustment in the tariff for such services (+0.3%, 12.58 Lei / MWh in July 2015 from 12.54

Lei / MWh in July 2014), the applicable tariff of the reporting period incorporates the positive correction set on 1 July 2015.

EBIT recorded slight 1% increase (358 mill Lei from 355 mill Lei), mainly due to the profit allowed activity segment where EBIT grew 9.4% (from 340 mill Lei in 2014 to 372 mill Lei in 2015) when the zero profit activity segment registered negative result of 13 mill Lei.

July – September 2015

EBITDA grew about 0.5% compared to the similar period of 2014 (187 mill Lei in 2015 from 186 mill Lei in 2014), such development being mainly determined by the positive impact of the zero profit activity segment.

Also in comparison with Q2 2015 the increase of EBITDA indicator was 3.1% (187 mill Lei in Q3 2015 from 181 mill Lei in Q2 2015)

Profit allowed activities have got 17.6% lower result than in the similar period of 2014 (169 mill Lei against 205 mill Lei in the previous year) and equally decreasing 13.6% compared to April – June 2015.

Zero-profit activities recorded positive result of 19 mill Lei compared to 2014 (negative result of 18 mill Lei). In Q2 2015 zero-profit activities have got similar negative result of 14 mill Lei.

Such positive result of the segment in Q3 was also due to the positive adjustment of ANRE in the tariff for technological system services (+0.3%, 12.58 Lei / MWh in July 2015 from 12.54 Lei / MWh in July 2014).

EBIT slightly grew by about 2.9% (108 mill Lei in Q3 2015 from 105 mill Lei in Q3 2014), mainly due to the zero profit activity segment. EBIT indicator recorded value decrease of 27.5% in the profit allowed activity segment in comparison with the similar period of last year (from 123 mill Lei to 89 mill Lei).

The operational result (EBIT) increased 6.6% from 101 mill Lei to 108 mill Lei in comparison with the previous quarter.

Gross profit

January – September 2015

Profit before tax recorded slight drop of about 0.8% compared to the similar period of 2014 (359 mill Lei from 362 mill Lei).

The difference between the profit of 2015 and that of 2014, broken down by component elements of profit, is provided below.

July – September 2015

Profit before tax recorded significant increase of about 19.5% compared to the similar period of 2014 (111 mill Lei Q3 2015 from 92 mill Lei Q3 2014).

In comparison with the previous quarter the gross profit increased 12.1% from 99 mill Lei to 111 mill Lei.

The difference between the profit of 2015 and that of 2014, broken down by component elements of profit, is provided below.

Financial result

Revenues from interest rates decreased 1.7 million Lei in the first nine months of 2015 compared to the similar period of 2014. Interest revenues dropped at a slower rate than interest-related expenses, which decreased about 5 mill Lei in comparison with the same period of 2014.

Net profit from differences of exchange rates developed under the main impact of the national currency's exchange rate against the foreign currencies Transelectrica contracted bank loans in to finance its investment plans (especially Euro). Thus at the end of the first nine months the Company recorded net profit of 6.8 mill Lei from differences of exchange rates.

The net financial result recorded in the first nine months of 2015 was positive (1 mill Lei).

In the third quarter the Company achieved positive financial result of 2.4 mill Lei as compared to the negative 12.5 mill Lei result recorded in the same period of last year or with the negative 2.9 mill Lei result registered in Q2 2015.

The positive development of the financial result was mainly determined by the positive trend of exchange rates (revenues from differences of exchange rates of +10.7 mill Lei Q3 2015 / Q3 2014 respectively +9.9 mill Lei Q3 2015 / Q2 2015).

Net profit

Profit after tax dropped about 0.6% compared to Jan - Sept 2014 (305 mill Lei from 303 mill Lei).

In the third quarter the Company recorded net profit of 94 mill Lei, 22.7% higher than in Q3 2014 and 12.2% higher than in the previous quarter.

FINANCIAL POSITION

Non-current assets

Non-current assets decreased 1.1% in the first nine months of 2015.

Current assets

Current assets decreased 14.5% in the first nine months of 2015 from 1,957 mill Lei to 1,673 mill Lei, because of the significant drop (32.1%) of receivables from 1,056 mill Lei to 717 mill Lei. Receivables decreased because from 1 January to 30 September 2015 the Company collected 150.2 mill Lei from the over-compensation for 2011 - 2013, mainly from SC Electrocentrale Bucharest SA, Electrocentrale Oradea and SC Termo Calor SA.

On 30 September 2015 the Company recorded collectable receivables under the overcompensation for 2011- 2013 amounting to 79.4 mill Lei from RAAN, 15.9 mill Lei from CET Govora SA and 17.4 mill Lei on account of 2014 (Electrocentrale Oradea 16.9 mill Lei and Termo Calor 0.5 mill Lei).

Liabilities

Non-current liabilities recorded significant 15.2% drop in January - September 2015, from 1,402 mill Lei to 1,190 mill Lei, mainly owing to principal reimbursements from 792 mill Lei on 31 December 2014 to 633 mill Lei on 30 September 2015.

Current liabilities recorded decrease of about 21.8% on 30 September 2015, from 1,226 mill Lei on 31 December 2014 to 958 mill Lei because of decreased liabilities to suppliers on the electricity market. Liabilities to suppliers on the electricity market diminished due to the reduced volume of transactions on the balancing market and reduced balance of payment obligations of 30 September

2015 on the electricity market, compared to 31 December 2014. Until 30.09.2015 the Company withheld from payment the bonus and the ex-ante over-compensation of 44.2 mill Lei owed to suppliers (qualified generators) by applying article 17 par 5 from Order 116/2013 of ANRE, since the same generators failed to pay the overcompensation of 96.8 mill Lei to the Company.

Shareholders' equities

Shareholders' equities increased 3.5% mainly due to the positive performance of the year, credited in the retained earnings.

EVOLUTION OF SHARES

(31-Dec-2014 to 30-Sept-2015)

In the first nine months of 2015 Transelectrica shares (BSE symbol: TEL) decreased 11.2% compared to 31 December 2014, mainly because the dividend was included in the share price; thus TEL shares recorded significant 9% drop since the ex dividend date expired. Also TEL share prices decreased because of the contagious effect of European capital markets resulting from the economic uncertainty of certain states in the European Union and from the uncertain worldwide geopolitical context (Asian exchanges).

2015 began with 28.85 Lei/share transaction price, stock exchange capitalisation being 2,115 mill Lei; the end of the interval (30 September 2015) found the share at 26.00 lei, stock exchange capitalisation being 1,906 mill Lei. The minimum transaction price 25.19 Lei/share was recorded on 24.06.2014, while the maximum 32.47 Lei/share was reached on 19.02.2015.

The liquidity of TEL shares in January – September was quite low in the average, 60,529 shares being transacted per transaction session, 44.8% less than in the same period of 2014 (109,654 shares/session).

DIVIDENDS

In 2014 gross dividend per share of 2.8033 Lei was approved and it began paying on 29 June 2015. The dividend was calculated while observing the profit distribution legislation for companies with majority state capital, using 75% distribution rate.

ENERGY BALANCE OF SEN

In the first 9 months of 2015 the net energy output increased about 3% in comparison with the same period of 2014, mainly due to the higher domestic consumption.

The net internal1 consumption grew 4% in comparison with the same period of last year.

Physical cross-border export flows decreased 5% in the first nine months of 2015 compared to 2014 and similarly the import flows dropped about 2%.

As regards the energy balance development in Q3 2015, net output increased 2% compared to the same period of 2014 and 7% compared to the second quarter of 2015.

The net internal1 consumption grew 7% in the third quarter compared to the same period of last year and 4% compared to April – June this year.

Exporter cross-border physical exchanges were 17% smaller in the third quarter than in the same period of 2014, but 25% higher in comparison with the second quarter of 2015.

Importer cross-border physical exchanges increased 50% in the third quarter compared to the same period of 2014. The quarterly increase (Q3 2015 compared to Q2 2015) was only 7%.

GENERATION MIX

The generation mix of the first 9 months of 2015 provided 3% higher share of renewable sources (wind, biomass, PV) and about 1% greater thermal generation to the detriment of hydropower, which dropped about 3.4% compared to the same interval of 2014. In comparison with the first 9 months of 2014, the energy generated from renewable sources increased 1.5 TWh due to extended generating capacities.

1 values do not include the consumption of auxiliary services from electric power generating plants; the net consumption includes the losses from the transmission and distribution networks as well as the consumption of pumps from pumping storage hydropower substations;

In July – September 2015 the share of thermal generation increased significantly in the generation mix (15.6% compared to Q3 2014, 17.4% compared to Q2 2015) to the detriment of hydropower and compared to the same period of 2014 and to the second quarter of 2015; thus hydropower dropped 14.4% compared to Q3 2014, and 15.4% compared to Q2 2015.

Such decrease of the hydropower component was determined by bad meteorological conditions in hydrologic terms, precipitation being low in July – August.

This hydrologic deficit was covered mainly by the operation of gas-fired power plants.

Q3 2015 Q2 2015 Q3 2014

NATIONAL GENERATION PARK

In the first nine months of 2015 the gross installed capacity in power plants slightly increased 0.3%, in comparison with the same period of last year.

The installed capacity in renewable source power parks increased by about 2.4% (104 MW) in January – September 2015 compared to the same period of last year, from 4,265 MW installed at the end of the first 9 of 2014 to 4,369 MW installed on 01 October 2015.

The dynamic of installed capacity in the first nine months of 2015, respectively 2014, is provided below:

Installed capacity 9M 2015 (24,513 MW, gross value)

Installed capacity 9M 2014 (24,433 MW, gross value) 27,5% 17,8% 5,8% 48,9% Wind Biomass Photovoltaic 4,369 68.1% 2.4% 29.5% Hydro Renewables Nuclear Thermal

CROSS-BORDER FLOWS

Cross-border flows recorded significantly higher exports with Hungary, Serbia and Bulgaria, mainly because of the reduced electricity prices on the Romanian market and enhanced exports to the more expensive markets from Hungary or the Balkans. Import / export operatios were not recorded with Republic of Moldova in the first nine months of 2015 nor in the same period of 2014.

Physical flows of both import and export on each border are provided below.

The amount of exported energy decreased in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the same period of last year. Thus energy exported to Hungary dropped 3.1%, to Bulgaria – 27.2% and to Serbia – 11.3%.

In comparison with the second quarter of 2015, the amount of transmitted energy on the interconnection lines with Bulgaria and Serbia got positive development (+36.5% Bulgaria, +119.5% Serbia) but the energy exported to Hungary got negative development (-31.2%).

TECHNOLOGICAL LOSSES

In the first nine months of 2015, the amount of technological losses increased 5.7% compared to the same period of last year. Such increase resulted from elements occurring in the first quarter, such as- worse meteorological conditions, which led to higher corona losses; the domestic generation structure (the share of generation directly introduced in the RET grew 4% in the first 6 months); worse import/export flows compared to the same period of last year.

In the third quarter of 2015 technical losses grew about 0.5% within RET compared to the same period of 2014, because of bad meteorological conditions, slightly worse physical flows and output structure.

In comparison with the energy input into the grid, losses slightly grew from 2.35% in the first 9 months of 2014 to 2.41% in the same period of 2015.

The percentage growth of technical losses resulted from the higher amounts of energy circulated within RET.

DISPUTES

The most important disputes which the Company is involved in are provided below:

ANAF

The Company is in litigation with ANAF1 , which on 20 September 2011 issued a fiscal audit report on VAT return in September 2005 – November 2006, for a number of 123 unused invoices detected as missing, these being documents of special regime for which it estimated value added tax collected in amount of 16,303,174 Lei plus accessories amounting to 27,195,557 Lei.

The amount of such obligations of 43,498,731 Lei was retained from the VAT that the Company paid in November 2014. Later on the Company found out the sums transferred as current VAT were considered for payment of the amounts from the fore-mentioned fiscal audit report.

Thus the Company was compelled to pay additional penalties of 944,423 Lei for the VAT that should have been paid in November 2011, lest outstanding debts are registered to the State budget. In total in 2011 the Company paid 44,442,936 Lei.

The Company filed complaint to ANAF against the taxation decision and requested suspending the enforcement of the decision until the complaint submitted to ANAF is solved by administrative means. The law court denied the request to suspend enforcing the fiscal report.

La termenul din data de 30.04.2014, soluția pronunțată de instanța de fond – Curtea de Apel București, Sectia a VIII-a Contencios Administrativ si Fiscal (Hotărâre nr. 1356/2014) în Dosarul nr. 6657/2/2012 a fost următoarea: "Respinge cererea reclamantei CNTEE Transelectrica SA (Contestație împotriva Actului administrativ fiscal ANAF)". Compania urmează să atace cu recurs Hotărârea nr. 1356/2014.

ANRE

CNTEE Transelectrica SA filed complaint against Order 51 / 26.06.2014 of ANRE president1 registered under no. 47714 / 04.08.2014 with ANRE and contestation to the Appeal Court Bucharest requesting either amending the forementioned order or issuing a new order to recalculate the RRR at 9.87% (recalculated with (β) coefficient of 1.0359, according to Transelectrica's specialists) or, in case such complaint is denied, it requested using the same 8.52% percentage that ANRE established for 2013 and semester I of 2014.

On 26.06.2014 Order 51 of ANRE was issued and published in the Official Gazette no. 474/27.06.2014, which approved the average tariff for transmission services, the rate of system services and the zone tariffs of transmission services charged by the National Power Grid Company Transelectrica SA and cancelled annex 1 to Order 96 / 2013 of ANRE president approving the rate for transmission services, the rate of system services, the zone tariffs for transmission services and the tariffs for reactive electricity charged by the economic operators of the electricity sector.

The values used in the calculation of the regulated rate of return (RRR2 ) by ANRE according to the Methodology establishing the rates for electricity transmission services approved under Order 53 / 2013 of ANRE ("Methodology"), have determined the RRR value of 7.7%.

CNTEE Transelectrica SA considers that applying the provisions of article 51 from the Methodology by determining the Beta (β) parameter at 0.433 will prejudice the company's finance by decreasing the profitability of electricity transmission with an estimated 138.4 mill Lei4 , with significant impact over the company's financial interests which might lead to financial instability of the Company in the

third regulatory period (01.07.2014 - 30.06.2019), thus prejudicing the company's shareholders and their interests as well.

At a hearing on 27 October 2015, the court warned the company that, within 5 days from the date of the meeting, to add to the file and to communicate them to the defendant, the objectives broken down to each of the surveys required by the application submitted on 25.02 .2015 respectively the specialty of investment securities and other entities and specialized electrical energy to discuss these objectives and delivery expertise to the court on next hearing.

The court adjourned the proceedings and granted the hearing on 11/24/2015.

SC CONAID COMPANY SRL

The Company is involved as defendant under administrative dispute initiated by Conaid Company SRL5 as claimant, which is under insolvency procedures. File 5302/ 2/ 2013, on the docket of the Appeal Court Bucharest pertains first to the complaint of Conaid Company SRL about Transelectrica's unjustified refusal to conclude addendum to the RET connecting contract, which actually ended because the claimant failed to meet the suspensive terms. Another claim in the case, also rejected by the first instance, ascertains the unjustified refusal of Transelectrica (after expiry of the first contract) to conclude a new RET connection contract with the claimant company within the validity period of the connection permits.

On the 20.05.2014 hearing date the Appeal Court Bucharest decided separating the two issues, thus constituting a new claim file for 24.06.2014, then the court suspended setting the separated case.

On the 11.06.2014 hearing date the Appeal Court Bucharest rejected the case and the claimant's request for additional intervention as groundless, with appeal within 15 days from judgment notification.
