Important event to report: Abstract of preliminary financial results of 2019

Reporting includes:

  • Preliminary Report about the activities of NPG "Transelectrica" S.A. in January-December 2019

  • Stand-alone Preliminary Financial Statements, non-audited, on 31 December 2019

In 2019 the Company achieved 25% higher operational profit compared to 2018, against the 13% diminution of total operational costs (amortisement included) compensating the 12% drop of operational revenues.

Segment of profit allowed activities: In the main area of basic activities (transmission and SEN dispatching) in 2019 compared to 2018 the increase of total revenues and of the average transmission service tariff did not lessened the effect of 2% EBITDA decrease, mainly owed to the increased average prices of electricity procurement to cover one's own technological consumption in the transmission grid and to the impact of OUG 114/2014, thus EBITDA being negatively influenced in 2019.

Transmission revenues and other activities on the energy market increased (+1%) due to a (+2%) rise in the average transmission tariff charged in 2019 compared to 2018 and to the RON 2.5 mn growth of interconnection revenues, such increases being mainly determined by higher regulated tariff applicable in the reporting period.

2019 was a difficult year characterised by high costs of transmission system operation, especially the costs for electricity procurement to compensate technical grid losses (OTC) significantly higher by 12%, when in physical terms technical losses were smaller compared to last year (2.27% technical losses in 2019 against 2.47% in 2018).

Segment of zero profit activities: In 2019 a negative result was registered however of positive development compared to 2018 (RON -22 mn in 2019 against RON -40 mn in 2018) determined by slightly 3% higher revenues from technological system services and increased regulated average tariffs as approved by ANRE. Beginning with 01.07.2019 the Company-charged tariffs changed as per ANRE Order 81/24.06.2019 (13.05 RON/MWh compared to 10.44 RON/MWh tariff provided in ANRE Order 108/2018).

OPERATIONAL RESULTS

Charged volume of energy

In January – December 2019 the total quantity of electricity charged for services provided on the electricity market (55.34 TWh) registered slight decrease of 0.8% compared to the same period of 2018 (a -0.43 TWh difference is found between the two time intervals).

Operational revenues

Total operational revenues achieved in 2019 decreased 12% compared to the similar interval of last year (RON 2,398 mn at 2019 compared to RON 2,722 mn 2018), mainly determined by operational revenues associated to the zero profit activities (balancing market).

The segment of profit allowed activities registered slight 3% revenues increase (RON 1,220 mn in 2019 compared to RON 1,180 mn in 2018), determined by the growth of the tariff valid in the reporting period. On 01.07.2019 the tariffs approved by ANRE under Order 81/24.06.2019 came into force.

In 2019 revenues from the allocation of interconnection capacity registered 3% increase amounting to RON 2.5 mn compared to 2018, corresponding to the usage degree of available interconnection capacities by traders on the electricity market.

The allocation mechanism of interconnection capacities consists in organising annual, monthly, daily and intraday bids. The annual, monthly and intraday bids are explicit – bidding only the transmission capacity, and the daily one with Hungary are implicit – the capacity is allocated simultaneously with the energy through the coupling mechanism.

Beginning with 19 November 2014 the regional power exchange established by Romania, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia means these four countries should reach to a single electricity price transacted on spot markets. The capacity allocation between Romania and Hungary, the only country of these three Romania has got frontier with, is performed by the transmission operators: Transelectrica and MAVIR, by means of a common mechanism under a bilateral agreement.

Beginning with 2016 the UIOSI principle was applied on the Bulgarian border, and beginning with 2017 on the Serbian frontier as well. In accordance with such principle participants that do not use the capacities they win at annual and monthly bids are remunerated (by Transelectrica) for such capacity. The unused capacity is later sold under daily bids. There is reverse sense on the Hungarian border, namely MAVIR remunerates the participants for unused capacities.

The market allocating the interconnection capacities is fluctuating as prices evolve depending on the demand and need of market participants to procure interconnection capacity.

Net revenues from the allocation of interconnection capacity are used according to the provisions of ANRE Order 171/2019 and Regulation (EC) 2019/943 from June 5 th 2019, as financing source for investments aimed at upgrading and developing the interconnection capacity with neighbouring systems.

Revenues from reactive power registered decrease in January - December 2018 amounting to RON 4.3 mn, because of consumption drop in reactive electricity taken out of RET by Arcelor Mittal Hunedoara, against the background of their commissioning (in the steel works) of a piece of equipment compensating the SVC (Static Var Compensator) reactive power. Thus lower revenues from reactive power are owed to Arcelor Mittal Hunedoara that took local measures to improve its power factor, reduce reactive power taken from the RET and implicitly reduce reactive power invoices.

Revenues from energy transactions for OTC were mainly obtained by selling the excess energy on the Intraday Market managed by OPCOM and under the BRP CIGA Energy, on the Balancing Market.

At the end of November 2019 the European day-ahead market coupling went live under the XBID/SIDC project, which provided higher market liquidity and diversified the transacted products.

OTC revenues were higher by ROB 2.1 mn in the studied period of 2019 compared to the same in 2018 because the imbalances of Transelectrica were opposite the imbalances of BRP CIGA ENERGY and thus it was more beneficial to sell the excess energy with the BRP than on the Balancing Market.

Operating revenues from allowed profit activities

Revenues from zero-profit activities decreased 24% (RON 1,177 mn in 2019 against RON 1,541 mn in 2018), mainly determined by 42% drop of revenues on the balancing market (from RON 904 mn in 2018 to RON 523 mn in 2019)

During the 2019 revenues from technologic system services registered a slight increase by RON 17 mn compared to the same interval of 2018, determined by higher regulated tariffs approved by ANRE when the amount of electricity delivered to consumers decreased 0.8%.

Balancing market revenues decreased by RON 381 mn compared to the same period of last year as a consequence of:

  • reduced negative imbalance registered for electricity suppliers on the balancing market as a result of their providing better balancing in 2019 compared 2018;
  • the manner in which contracting is achieved on the markets before the balancing one and little participation of electricity generators on the dayahead and intraday electricity market;
  • the development of hydraulicity;
  • highly unpredictable and volatile output from renewable sources (especially wind);
  • the development of the average deficit price registered on the balancing market;
  • the development of the electricity demand as winter was milder than in 2018.

In 2020 an increase of electricity procurement price is estimated taken into account the legislative changes notified by ANRE for the electricity balancing market. Thus beginning with 1 April 2020 the balancing market will no longer be compulsory becoming optional and all price limits will be removed (meaning the electricity price on this market can fluctuate from minus 99,999 Euro to 99,000 Euro/MWh); transactions on the balancing market will be settled against the marginal price, with possible aggregation on this market including consumption points, and generators from renewable sources will further benefit of priority dispatch.

Operational expenses

Total operational expenses (amortisement included) achieved in 2019 registered a decrease (13%) compared to the same period of last year (RON 2,271 mn against RON 2,620 mn in 2018).

As regards the profit allowed activities segment, expenses (amortisement included) registered 3% increase (RON 1,072 mn in 2019 compared to RON 1,039 mn in 2018).

Operating expenses from allowed profit activities

OTC: In 2019 expenses regarding one"s own technological consumption were greater by RON 31 mn compared to the same period of 2018, because the average procurement price for electricity necessary to cover OTC within RET increased.

Such expenses are electricity procurement on the free electricity market, namely the Centralised Market of Bilateral Contracts (PCCB), the Day-Ahead Market (PZU), the Balancing Market (PE) and the Intraday Market (PI) in order to cover one"s own technological consumption (OTC / losses) within RET.

The differences between the hourly quantities actually achieved and those procured after transacting on the PCCB, PZU and PI are compensated on the Balancing Market (PE) during the operational day.

Beginning with 18.01.2018 the Contract of "Electricity procurement to cover imbalances from notified quantities associated to technological electricity losses in electricity transmission networks by transferring the balancing responsibility" C380/06.10.2014 became effective, concluded between NPG Transelectrica SA and CIGA ENERGY SA, which reduced the procurement prices of energy on the balancing market.

Average acquisition prices

*Preliminary values, the average price was calculated at the net value (purchases-sales) and does not take into account the PRE services.

Analysing the average price development of forward contracts in 2018 – 2019 one can notice a clearly rising trend with positive slope, no oscillations, of the price registered in 2018. Moreover the energy selling offers on the PCCB were much more reduced in quantitative terms against the existing purchase offers, which makes demand exceed neatly the offer and the concluding bid price - higher.

In January 2019 OTC expenses were higher because the average price of contracts concluded on the PCCB with delivery in January 2019 was of 287.44 RON, 36% higher than the price of January 2018. This price trend was justified by 120% higher prices of certificates for greenhouse gas effects (ETS) at the beginning of 2018. As of 1 January 2019 the "Market stability reserve" (MSR) became effective, which imposes a limited number of certificates for greenhouse gas effects. Such measure impacted mainly the coal-fired generating power plants, which determine the market marginal price in many cases.

This was mirrored in the average price of contracts concluded on this market with delivery in January - December 2019, which was 273 RON, 31% higher than the price of January -December 2018.

At European level prices are impacted by the separation of the bidding zone Germany – Austria into two distinct zones beginning with 1 October 2018. The average procurement price of electricity on the PZU was higher in 2019 than in the similar period of last year, against a background of demand exceeding the electricity offer all over Europe.

In January 2019 Romania was predominantly importer of electricity, because certain generating power plants were unavailable, which has led to significant price increase on the Day-Ahead Market (PZU). Thus in January 2019 the average price on the PZU was two times higher than the price recorded in January 2018.

In the following months there was a decreasing trend in the average price of electricity procured on the PZU and on the bilateral contracts market as compared to the price of January 2019. Nevertheless, given the other factors influencing electricity procurement, OTC costs remained higher than in the similar period of 2018.

The difference between the electricity actually consumed to cover the OTC and the electricity procured represents imbalances, which are automatically covered by the Balancing Market.

In 2018 the thresholds limiting the minimum and maximum price of deficit electricity were removed, which led to significant increase of the average procurement price of deficit energy.

Thus taking into consideration the total average price on all markets, a medium price of 279 RON/MWh follows in 2019, compared to the average procurement price of 224 RON/MWh at 2018.

Mention should be made that values of December 2019 are preliminary.

Congestions: Congestions (network restrictions) are demands of electricity transmission beyond the technical capacity limits of the grid, and corrective activities are required from the transmission and system operator; they occur whenever during operational scheduling or during real time operation the power flow between two system nodes or zones leads to trespassing the operational safety parameters of an electric power system.

In January – December 2019 congestion expenses amounting to RON 1.7 mn were registered, decreasing RON 6.6 mn (79.8%) compared to 2018, determined by the safety principle N–1 being provided when the 220 kV OHL Fantanele - Gheorgheni was unavailable because of bad meteorological conditions and by providing the N–1 safety principle in section 4, when the 400 kV OHL Iernut – Sibiu Sud was outaged according to schedule.

Expenses with electricity consumption within RET substations: they increased RON 3.2 mn in January - December 2019 compared to the same period of 2018, determined by the growing trend of electricity prices and especially by the higher firm prices than last year to conclude contracts on the competitive electricity market in 2019.

Functional system services: The associated expenses grew RON 17.3 mn in 2019 compared to 2018, mainly determined by higher expenses on the balancing market and on the day-ahead market with respect to unplanned electricity exchanges with the neighbouring countries that are interconnected to the SEN.

Inter TSO Compensation (ITC) expenses:

The monthly payment obligations / collection rights for each transmission and system operator (TSO) are established under the compensation / settlement mechanism for the effects of the electricity transmission grid (RET) being used for electricity transits in-between the TSO-s of the 35 countries that adopted this ENTSO-E mechanism.

In 01 January 2019 – 30 December 2019 these expenses were RON 2.3 mn lower than in the similar period of last year.

The zero-profit activities segment recorded 24% lower costs (RON 1,199 mn at 2019 compared to RON 1,582 mn 2018), mainly determined by the lower expenses on the balancing market.

The Company procures technological system services from generators SEN in view of maintaining operational safety within SEN as well as the quality of transmitted electricity at parameter values provided in applicable technical norms.

Such services are contracted as follows:

  • under regulated regime according to Governmental Decisions and the Decisions of the National Regulatory Authority in the Energy Domain (ANRE);

  • by means of competitive mechanisms.

The cumulated value of expenses for technological system services in 2019 is almost equal to the cumulated value of STS expenses made in 2018 (RON 676 mn in 2019 compared to RON 678 mn in 2018: 0.2% decrease).

The value of costs for STS procurement in January - December 2019 was mainly determined by the following factors:

  • procurement prices for technological system services on the competitive market were higher in comparison with the procurement prices of 2018 for RS (frequency restoration reserve) and RTR (electricity high wave).

  • procurement prices of technological system services for RTL (replacement reserve) on the competitive market were lower in comparison with the procurement prices of 2018, because a higher competition occurred for this kind of reserve.

An important influence for the higher procurement Price of STS on the competitive market was also determined by a very high concentration of the market for technological system services for the frequency restoration reserve and electricity high wave during the studied interval, as well as by higher prices registered on the electricity market.

During the reported period the Company procured technological system services under regulated regime according to ANRE decisions and to applicable legal regulations.

The Company is re-invoicing the technological system services procured from generators to ANRE-licensed electricity suppliers, which eventually benefit of such services.

Estimations for 2020 are that regulations wich will be implemented in the national legislation in accordance with the provisions of Regulation EU 2019/943 of the European Parliament and the Council of 5 June 2019 on the electricity market will have significant impact over the costs for system services, Company-wide.

Operational result

Profit allowed activities registered positive result of RON 149 mn in compared to RON 142 mn in 2018 due to revenue increase by 3% in the studied period, growth coming mainly from functional system services and unplanned exchanges, however uncompensated by the cost 8% increase on the electricity market, and the impact of OUG 114/2018.

Allowed profit activities EBIT structure

EBIT generated by zero-profit activities registered negative RON 22 mn result compared to the RON 40 mn loss recorded in the same period of last year.

In January - Decembrie 2019 revenues from technological system services dropped RON 22.4 mn compared to the expenses made to procure technological system services.

Gross result (EBT)

Gross profit increased 28% from RON 93 mn in 2018 to RON 119 mn in 2019.

The profit dynamics between the registrations of 2018 compared to 2019, broken down into the constitutive components of profit, is provided in the graph below:

Financial result

The net financial result registered in 2019 is negative and amounted to RON 7 mn. This was mainly influenced by the development of the national currency"s exchange rate against the foreign currencies the Company has contracted bank loans in (Euro) to finance its investment plans.

The development of the RON/EURO and RON/USD exchange rates in January - December 2019 is provided in the graph below:

Net result

Net profit increased reaching to RON 104 mn in 2019 compared to RON 81 mn in 2018.

FINANCIAL POSITION

Non-current assets

Non-current assets decreased about 2% in January - December 2019 against a background of tangible assets decrease, as determined by registered amortisement.

Intangible assets increased during the studied period, mainly because the utilisation right was recognised for the Company-leased spaces in the Platinum office building.

Current assets

They diminished 27% on 31 December 2019 (RON 1,149 mn) compared to the value recorded on 31 December 2018 (RON 1,581 mn), mainly determined by decreased receivables.

Trade receivables diminished 34% (RON 706 mn on 31 Decemberr 2019 from RON 1,064 mn at the end of 2018), mainly because the following decreased:

  • Receivables on balance on 31 December 2019 amounted to RON 134 mn and related to the balancing market, which registered value drop compared to 31 December 2018 (RON 400.6 mn), as a consequence of reduced transactions on this market.
  • Clients on balance from operational activities on 31 December 2019 recorded growth against 31 Decembrie 2018, mainly determined by collecting the trade receivables under invoices issued on the electricity market relating to December 2019 under 2020 financial year in January.
  • The main clients on balance on the electricity market are represented by: RAAN, OPCOM, Electrocentrale Bucharest SA, Electrica Furnizare SA, Enel Energie Muntenia SA, E.ON Energie Romania SA, EnelEnergie SA, CEZ , CEZ Vanzare, ALRO, and Petprod SRL.

The main clients on the electricity market cover 50%

share in the total trade receivables.

Collectable receivables from the bonus type support scheme to promote high efficiency cogeneration amounted to 23% on 31 December 2019 (19% 31 December 2018) of the total trade receivables.

The Company carries out activities associated to the bonus type support scheme to promote high efficiency cogeneration as administrator of such support scheme in accordance with the provisions of HGR 1215/2009, "the main attributions being to collect monthly the cogeneration contribution and to pay bonuses every month".

Clients from the bonus type support scheme to promote high efficiency cogeneration registered decrease on 31 December 2019 mainly determined by collecting the trade receivable related to ANRE decision to overcompensate cogeneration activities for 2016 in sum of RON 57 mn, issued in March 2017 for Electrocentrale Bucuresti SA, by ascertaining intervention of lawful compensation validated by the judiciary administrator of Electrocentrale Bucuresti SA (BPI 20461/ 29.10.2019).

On 31 December 2019 the Company registered receivables amounting to RON 175 mn, represented by invoices issued under the bonus type support scheme to promote high efficiency cogeneration, of which:

  • 2011-2013 overcompensation amounting to RON 76.7 mn, namely from RAAN – RON 63.46 mn and CET Govora SA – RON 13.23 mn;

  • 2014 undue bonus amounting to RON 3.91 mn from RAAN – RON 1.98 mn and CET Govora – RON 1.93 mn;

  • 2015 undue bonus amounting to RON 0.56 mn, namely from CET Govora – RON 0.53 mn, Interagro – RON 0.03 mn;

  • cogeneration contribution not collected from the suppliers of electricity consumers in sum of RON 21.25 mn, namely from: Transenergo Com – RON 5.88 mn, PetProd – RON 4.39 mn, Romenergy Industry – RON 2.68 mn, RAAN – RON 2.38 mn, UGM Energy – RON 1.50 mn, CET Govora – RON 0.90 mn, KDF Energy – RON 0.88 mn and others.

To liquidate receivables generated by overcompensation and undue bonus the Company requested the generators qualified under the support scheme to make mutual compensations. In case of generators (RAAN, Electrocentrale Bucharest, and CET Govora) that did not agree with this manner to quench mutual receivables and liabilities the Company has applied and further applies the provisions of article 17 para 5 of Order 116/2013 of ANRE president approving the Regulation on establishing the collection mode of the contribution for high efficiency cogeneration and the payment mode of the bonus for electricity generated under high efficiency cogeneration.

Other receivables on 31 December 2019 amounting to RON 115.3 mn mainly include:

Sundry debtors (RON 108 mn), of which:

  • delay penalties amounting to RON 72.1 mn calculated for payment defaulting clients (of which RON 35.3 mn represent penalties under the support scheme). The greatest delay penalties were registered by the following clients: RAAN (RON 16.9 mn), CET Govora (RON 9.6 mn), Electrocentrale Bucharest (RON 9.4 mn), Eco Energy SRL (RON 8.9 mn), Petprod SRL (RON 8.9 mn), Total Electric Oltenia (RON 3.2 mn), Enol Grup (RON 2.5 mn), Also Energ (RON 2.1 mn). Allowances were registered for the penalties calculated for late payment of receivables from operational activities;

  • compensations amounting to RON 3.5 mn owed by suppliers for their non-delivery of electricity (Arelco Power – RON 1 mn and Enol Grup – RON 2.5 mn). Allowances were registered for the compensations owed by suppliers from operational activities;

  • receivable amounting to RON 5.8 mn recoverable from OPCOM, of which RON 4.5 mn are VAT for the contribution in kind to the subsidiary"s share capital, and RON 1.3 mn represent penalties;

  • Other non-current receivables amounting to RON 4.6 mn, of which RON 4.2 mn represent securities for temporary land occupation, calculated and withheld according to article 39 para (1), para (2) and para (5) of Law 46/2008 on the Forestry Code in order to carry out the investment project for the 400 kV OHL Resita – Pancevo (Serbia).

Liabilities

Non-current liabilities amounting to RON 588 mn on 31 December 2019 registered 11% decrease as a result of repayments made in accordance with existing loan agreements and of diminished deferred revenues.

At the same time current liabilities also recorded 39% decrease (from RON 1,199 mn on 31 December 2018 to RON 734 mn on 31 December 2019), mainly against a background of diminished trade receivables and other receivables as follows:

On 31 December 2019 compared to 31 December 2018, liabilities on balance on the electricity

market amounted to RON 390.1 mn, namely to RON 780.3 mn and were impacted by:

  • reduced balance of balancing market liabilities which was determined by paying the payment obligations found on balance on the electricity market on 31 December 2018 (RON 383 mn) and by the reduced transaction volume on the balancing market in Q IV 2019 compared to Q IV 2018, which impacted the liability volume of the balancing market on balance on 31 December 2019 (RON 77.5 mn).

Suppliers on the electricity market are mainly represented by: Hidroelectrica, MAVIR, Energy Complex Oltenia, Electrocentrale Bucharest, OPCOM, Romgaz, Electrocentrale Galati, Energy Complex Hunedoara, Veolia Energie Prahova, and Ciga Energy. On 31 December 2019 their share was about 85% in the total electricity suppliers.

  • reduced balance of liabilities relating to operational activities was mainly determined by paying the payment obligations found on balance on the electricity market on 31 December 2018;

  • decrease of liabilities under the support scheme to suppliers (generators) was mainly determined by payment of the liability related to the monthly bonus withheld, RON 57 mn for Electrocentrale Bucuresti SA, by ascertaining intervention of lawful compensation validated by the judiciary administrator of Electrocentrale Bucuresti SA (BPI 20461/ 29.10.2019). On 31 December 2019 pay obligations to suppliers (generators) were recorded amounting to RON 54.6 mn (RAAN – RON 51.2 mn and CET Govora SA – RON 3.4 mn, representing the monthly cogeneration bonus, exante overcompensation for 2014 and 2015, unpaid bonus in 2015 and 2016.

The amounts representing Company liabilities associated to the support scheme to Electrocentrale Bucharest, RAAN, and CET Govora were withheld for payment in accordance with article 17 para 5 from Order 116/2013 of ANRE president because the suppliers (generators) register payment obligations to the Company under the bonus type support scheme.

Other liabilities significantly dropped from RON 159.9 mn in December 2018 to RON 68.7 mn on 31 December 2019 against the background of dividends paid in the first part of 2019 and decrease of sundry creditors (on 31 December 2019 they amounted to RON 1.5 mn compared to RON 24.9 mn in December 2018)

Dividends owed to Company shareholders on 31 December 2019 and unpaid amount to RON 0.7 mn, being associated to 2016 and 2017.

Such amounts are at the shareholders" disposal by means of the payment agent.

Provisions registered decrease from RON 95.6 mn on 31 December 2018 to RON 67.9 mn on 31 December 2019, mainly determined by reversing the RON 31.18 mn provision constituted for the dispute with ASITO KAPITAL SA under file 35865/3/2018 (old file 24552/3/2017), on the docket of Bucharest Tribunal, Section VI Civil.

On the hearing term of 19.02.2019 when judiciary investigation has ended and the floor was granted to the parties for exceptions, evidence and substance matter the instance deferred pronouncement twice until 20.03.2019. After deliberation Bucharest Tribunal pronounced the following settlement in brief:

  • It denies the request with respect to reversing the enforcement as inadmissible.
  • It denies as groundless the request to return the stamp tax related to the request with resepect to reversing the enforcement.
  • It denies as groundless the request filed by contester-debtor ASITO KAPITAL SA against Civil ruling 4067/07.11.2017 pronounced by Bucharest Tribunal, Section VI Civil under file 24552/3/2017, in contradiction with the recurrent-creditor the National Power Grid Company TRANSELECTRICA SA; final.

It was pronounced at public hearing on 20.03.2019. Document: Ruling 743/20.03.2019.

The court clerk office certificate issued on 18.04.2019 by Bucharest Tribunal, Section VI Civil certified Ruling 743/20.03.2019.

On 04.10.2019 Asito Kapital filed appeal against Civil ruling 3840/19.12.2018, and the file was referred to the Appeal Court Bucharest for settlment, with no hearing term set for the time being. Transelectrica filed defence within the legal time interval, and now the hearing term is pending.

On 06.11.2018 ASITO KAPITAL SA paid the Company RON 31.2 mn as follows:

  • RON 21.2 mn - according to Civil Ruling 4067/2017 (4,821,022.53 Euro at 4.4041 RON/euro exchange rate); - RON 9.9 mn - according to Civil Ruling 4067/2017 (2,237,750.83 Euro at 4.4458 RON/euro exchange rate).

The cause was adjourned on the hearing date 11.11.2019. Settlement in brief: The court admitted the request. It spread out the stamp judiciary charge owed by the applicants in quantum of RON 185.8 mn into 3 equal monthly instalments due on the 20th day of each month beginning with November 2019, in quantum of

RON 61.9 mn each. They are entitled to reexamination request within 15 days from notification.

The next term was set on 17.02.2020.

Interest-bearing liabilities

On 31 December 2019 the non-current borrowing value diminished in comparison with 31 December 2018, mainly due to repayments made in accordance with existing loan agreements.

Structure per currency

Shareholders' equities

Shareholders" equities registered 2% increase, mainly determined by registering the distribution of the profit achieved on 31 December 2019 in the retained result.

DEVELOPMENT OF SHARES

(01-Jan-2019 to 31-December-2019)

2019 began with 21 RON/share transaction price. At the end of this period (30 December 2019) stock exchange capitalisation was of RON 1,448 mn, finding the share at 19.75 RON/share price. The minimum transaction price of 19.48 RON/share was registered on 31.01.2019, while the maximum price of 22.15 RON/share occurred on 14.02.2019.

In the last quarter of 2019 TEL shares transacted on Romania"s capital market registered 3,072 transactions, with average number of 48.76 transactions/day and 1,083,641 transacted shares, in total value of RON 21,583 mn.

Transelectrica shares are part in the structure of the following stock exchange indexes: BET, BET-BK, BET-NG, BET-TR, BET-XT, BET-XT-TR, BET Plus.

From among these, the most representative for the Company are:

  • BET index (Bucharest Exchange Trading reference index of the capital market showing the development of the most liquid 16 companies listed on the regulated market of the BVB)
  • BET-NG index (Bucharest Exchange Trading Energy & Related Utilities - sectorial index showing the development of companies in the energy sector and the associated utilities listed on the regulated market of the BVB).

In accordance with the latest adjustment date registered on 13.12.2019, TEL shares account for 1.42% in the BET index and for 4.06% in the BET-NG index.

The development of TEL shares under the forementioned two indexes is provided in the graph below:

MAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The environment the Company operates in provides uncertainty such as threats for objective achievement or opportunities.

Obviously, knowing such threats enables their hierarchical classification depending on their occurrence, on the magnitude of their impact over objectives and on the costs associated to the measures meant to reduce occurrence hazards or to limit unwanted consequences.

In Transelectrica risks are periodically and systematically analysed in relation to the performance of Company activities; a Register of detected risks is elaborated as well as an Action plan with measures meant to limit possible consequences of such risks, in accordance with legal provisions.

The items which might impact the Company"s liquidity comprise among others:

  • Interest rate fluctuation,
  • Exchange rate variation,
  • The financing agreement provisions: funding contracts include clauses with respect to complying with certain financial indicators, the change of control over the Company and pari passu type clauses.
  • Breaching such clauses can entail preliminary notification providing reasonable time interval, followed by anticipated credit payment; certain credits include penalising clauses in case of anticipated repayment. To date the Company has received no such notification of anticipated repayment for its failure to comply with assumed obligation,
  • The credit risk: the Company bears financial loss because of a contractual partner"s incapacity or refusal to perform contractual obligations. Such risk results mainly from trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents,
  • Risk of not collecting securities under investment projects: the main cause of such risk results from bank or insurance companies that provide security services without the financial capacity to comply with the obligations assumed under the issued security instruments,
  • The fiscalism level, inclusive of introducing new taxes and charges.

Transelectrica benefits of very good liquidity for the time being, which is also mirrored by financial indicators.

The Company does not stop at treating the consequences of likely occurring events but it also performs reactive management, implementing measures meant to mitigate risk occurrence.

As provided by standards, periodical review of risks leads to re-allocation of resources in compliance with changed hierarchical classifications and implicitly – changed priorities.

Transelectrica pays proper attention to analysing the risk environment and to timely detecting possible risks that are likely to occur in the future, which should be approached in due time.

In January-December 2019 the Company did not meet impossible situations preventing it to comply with financial obligations.

Therefore there are no risks and uncertainties for the next months of 2020 to impact Company liquidity, others than what has been provided above.

Operational data

ENERGY BALANCE WITHIN SEN

Analysing the January – December 2019 development of the energy balance components in comparison with the same period of last year the net internal consumption1 decreased 1.1% and the net electricity output dropped 7.8%.

Cross-border exporter physical exchanges dropped 25% in comparison with the similar period of 2018, and crossborder importer flows increased 95%.

Energy balance

GENERATION MIX

In January – December 2019 compared to the similar period of 2018 the generating mix structure registered about 12.9% decrease of the thermal component, a 0.9% drop of the nuclear output and a 11.4% decrease in the hydro component. The contribution of renewable sources recorded 6.2% increase.

Analysing the shares of the net generation mix components in January - December 2019 one can notice the greatest share (37.7%) is represented by the thermal component, followed by the hydro component (28%), while the electricity generated from renewable and nuclear sources cover 15.8% and 18.5%.

NATIONAL GENERATION FLEET

The installed capacity of renewable power parks grew about 0.2%, from 4,546 MW installed on 31 December 2018 to 4,553 MW installed on 31 December 2019.

The installed capacity of the National Power System of about 24,600* MW does not mirror reality because there were many unavailable units in electric power plants and could not operate for reasons such as: high technical wear, incompliance with environmental requirements, low efficiency, high production costs, as well as financial difficulties of the entities holding them.

The dynamics of installed capacity in January – December 2019 versus 2018 is provided below:

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

18.5% 48.3% 5.7% 27.5% 66.7% Wind Photovoltaic 2.9% 30.4% Biomass 4,546 Thermal Renewable

Installed capacity in 2018 (24.606* MW, gross)

Hydro

Nuclear

The distribution of import / export physical flows on interconnection lines in January - December 2019 compared to the same period of 2018 is the following:

  • export decreased on the Serbian, Hungarian and Ukrainian borders and increased on the Bulgarian frontier, while import decreased on the Bulgarian border and significantly increased on the interconnection lines found in deficit areas of electricity generation (on the Hungarian and Ukrainian borders), but also a 143% increase was recorded on the interconnection line found in the excess area of electricity generation, namely the Serbian frontier).

In concrete terms, compared to the time interval January - December 2018, exporter physical flows decreased with Serbia (43.9%, -788 GWh), Hungary (78.2%, -815 GWh) and Ukraine (91.3%, -409 GWh) and increased with Bulgaria (31.2%, +650 GWh) at the same time with the significant increase of importer physical flows on the interconnection lines with Serbia (142.8%, +316 GWh), Hungary (235%, +1.382 GWh) and Ukraine (150.2%, +1.213 GWh), while with respect to Bulgaria they decreased (18.1%, -219 GWh).

ONE'S OWN TECHNOLOGICAL CONSUMPTION

In comparison with the time interval January - December 2018, in January - December 2019 OTC within RET dropped about 10.4%, while in percentage terms OTC decreased from 2.47% to 2.27%.

The factors that significantly influenced the OTC in January – December 2019, for instance precipitation and the distribution of cross-border physical flows are beyond Transelectrica"s control.

OTC DEVELOPMENT FACTORS

In January 2019 OTC as absolute value decreased 6.7% compared to January 2018 due to favourable import/export physical flows that led to reducing the electricity transmission to long distance from sources. The loss percentage against the RET injected electricity dropped from 2.44% in 2018 to 2.31% in 2019. The electricity injected in the outline dropped 1.6% in January 2019 (69.4 GWh) compared to the similar period of 2018, against the 13.7% lower quantity of electricity received from generators that are directly connected to RET (511.7 GWh), while import grew 173.3% (433.9 GWh) as well as the electricity received from RED by 3.4% (8.3 GWh). Meteorological conditions were bad, the amount of precipitation being greater than last year, contributing to corona losses.

In February 2019 OTC as absolute value dropped 27.1% compared to February 2018 due to favourable import/export physical flows that led to reduced electricity transmission at long distance from sources and to good meteorological conditions that determined reduced corona losses. The loss percentage against the RET injected electricity dropped from 2.81% in 2018 to 2.34% in 2019. The electricity injected into the outline decreased 12.2% (480.4 GWh) in February 2019 compared to the similar period of 2018, against the 19.3% reduced quantity of electricity received from generators that are directly connected to RET (687.9

GWh) and 1.7% less electricity received from the RED (4.8 GWh), while import increased 220.9% (212.3 GWh).

In March 2019 OTC as absolute value decreased about 32.9% compared to March 2018 due to favourable import/export physical flows that led to reducing the electricity transmission to long distance from sources and to good meteorological conditions that determined little corona losses. The loss percentage against the RET injected electricity dropped from 3.26% in 2018 to 2.40% in 2019. The electricity injected into the outline decreased 8.8% (347.4 GWh) in March 2019, compared to the similar period of 2018, against the 12.8% reduced amount of electricity received from generators directly connected to RET (431 GWh) and 15.2% less electricity from RED (54.8 GWh), while imports grew 77.1% (147.4 GWh).

In April 2019 OTC as absolute value decreased 16.1% compared to April 2018 due to favourable import/export physical flows that led to reducing the electricity transmission to long distance from sources. The loss percentage against the RET injected electricity dropped from 3.01% in 2018 to 2.39% in 2019. The electricity injected into the outline grew 5.6% in April 2019 (about 177.5 GWh) compared to the similar period of 2018, against 2.95% greater quantity of electricity received from generators directly connected to RET (about 78 GWh) and 137% higher import (195.2 GWh), while the electricity received from RED dropped 25.7% (about 96 GWh). The meteorological conditions were bad as the registered amount of precipitation was higher than last year and contributed to more corona losses.

In May 2019 OTC as absolute value decreased 0.7% compared to May 2018 because of bad meteorological conditions with abundant precipitation, which facilitated corona losses and cancelled the effect of beneficial import/export physical flows. The loss percentage against the RET injected electricity grew from 2.48% in 2018 to 2.49% in 2019. The electricity injected into the outline increased only 0.07% (about 2.2 GWh) in May 2019 compared to the similar period of 2018, against 4.76% reduced amount of electricity received from generators directly connected to RET (about 125 GWh) and 16.5% smaller import (about 47.7 GWh), while the electricity received from RED grew 60% (about 175 GWh).

In June 2019 OTC as absolute value decreased about 9.4% compared to June 2018 because of beneficial import/export physical flows that led to reduced electricity transmission to long distance and to good meteorological conditions that determined little corona losses. The loss percentage against the RET injected electricity dropped from 2.53% in 2018 to 2.38% in 2019. The electricity injected in the outline dropped 3.9% (about 134.2 GWh) in June 2019 compared to the similar period of 2018, against the 6.9% reduced quantity of electricity received from generators directly connected to RET (about 203 GWh) and 44.5% less import (about 110.8 GWh), while the electricity received from RED grew 77.98% (about 180GWh).

In July 2019 OTC as absolute value decreased about 13.2% compared to July 2018 due to favourable import/export physical flows that led to reducing the electricity transmission to long distance from sources and due to good meteorological conditions determining reduced corona losses. The loss percentage against the RET injected electricity dropped from 2.29% in 2018 to 1.93% in 2019. The electricity injected in the outline grew 2.8% (97 GWh) in July 2019 compared to the similar period of 2018, against a background of 525% higher import (397 GWh), of 2.3% (69 GWh) less electricity received from generators connected to RET and about 60% (231 GWh) less electricity received from RED.

In August 2019 OTC as absolute value increased about 9% compared to August 2018, especially because of more disadvantageous generation structure and of bad meteorological conditions determining higher corona losses. The loss percentage against the RET injected electricity increased from 2.04% in 2018 to 2.26% in 2019. The electricity injected into the outline dropped about 1.6% (58 GWh) in August 2019 compared to the similar period of 2018, as a result of about 14% (441 GWh) less electricity received from generators connected to RET and about 34% (84 GWh) less electricity received from RED, while import grew 252% (467 GWh).

In September 2019 OTC as absolute value increased about 2.4% compared to September 2018 because of unfavourable generation structure. The percentage of losses compared to the electricity injected into RET grew from 2.07% in 2018 to 2.11% in 2019. The electricity injected in the outline increased about 0.5% (16 GWh) in September 2019 compared to the similar period of 2018, since import grew 211% (429 GWh) while the electricity received from generators connected to RET dropped 12% (370 GWh) and 21% (42 GWh) less electricity was received from RED. The meteorological conditions were similar to those of last year.

In October 2019 OTC as absolute value decreased about 1.5% in October 2018 because of better import / export physical flows leading to reduced electricity transmission at long distance from source. The loss percentage against the RET injected electricity dropped from 2.07% in 2018 to 2.04% in 2019. The electricity injected in the outline dropped about 0.02% (0.7 GWh) in October 2019 compared to the similar interval of 2018 because the output received from RET-connected generators decreased 11.2% (371GWh) and about 25.1% (49 GWh) decrease of electricity amounts received from RED, against the background of 175.3% growth (419 GWh) of imported electricity. Meteorological conditions were bad and abundant precipitation of October 2019 determined higher corona losses compared to October 2018.

In November 2019 OTC as absolute value increased about 0.3% compared to November 2018 especially because of disadvantageous structure of output and bad meteorological conditions determining higher corona losses, physical flows being better in 2019 compared to last year. The loss percentage against the RET-injected electricity grew from 2.35% in 2018 to 2.45% in 2019. The electricity injected in the outline decreased about 3.6% (144 GWh) in November 2019 compared to the similar time of 2018 because the output received from RET-connected generators dropped about 7.5% (252 GWh) and about 1% (2 GWh) decrease of electricity amounts received from the RED, while import grew 30% (110 GWh).

In December 2019 OTC as absolute value dropped about 9.8% compared to December 2018 because of better physical flows on interconnection lines and meteorological conditions characterized by little precipitation. The loss percentage against the RETinjected electricity dropped from 2.34% in 2018 to 2.20% in 2019. The electricity injected in the outline dropped about 4% (169 GWh) in December 2019 compared to the similar interval of 2018, since the output received from RET-connected generators dropped about 6.5% (222 GWh) while import grew 7.5% (40 GWh) and about 5.6% (13 GWh) the electricity from RED. Meteorological conditions were better than last year.

In conclusion, in the first quarter of 2019 OTC within RET decreased about 23.2% compared to the similar period of 2018, especially because of beneficial import/export physical flows that led to reduced electricity transmission to long distance from sources and due to good meteorological conditions that determined reduced corona losses.

In the second quarter 2019 the OTC within RET decreased about 8.8% compared to the same period of 2018, especially due to beneficial import/export physical flows that led to reduced electricity transmission to long distance from sources.

In the third quarter of 2019 OTC within RET was only about 1% smaller than in 2018, when the three months" cumulated positive effect of physical flows was to a great extent cancelled by the negative impact of disadvantageous generation structure, while the precipitation quantities cumulated in the respective time intervals were comparable. Losses decreased from 2.13% to 2.1% in terms to electricity injected into the outline. Thus in terms of electricity injected into the outline losses dropped from 2.55% at 9M 2018 to 2.29% at 9M 2019.

In the fourth quarter of 2019 OTC within RET was about 3.9% lower than in the similar period of 2018, because of favourable structure of physical flows on interconnection lines. Losses decreased from 2.26% to 2.23% as compared to the electricity injected in the outline.

Mention should be made the December 2019 values are preliminary.

Mandate giving up by provisional Supervisory Board member

Mr. Jean BADEA gave up his mandate of provisional Supervisory Board member in the Company beginning with 04 February 2020.

Regular tariff – a new regulatory cycle 2020 - 2025

In 2019 ended the five years regulatory period for transmission tariffs, lasting from 01.07.2014 to 30.06.2019.

The second semester of 2019, namely the six months" interval from 01.07.2019 to 31.12.2019 constituted a transition interval until beginning a new multi-annual regulatory period.

For this transition interval ANRE approved transmission tariffs based on dedicated methodology including the tariff establishing rules for such time interval, rules situated in line with the general tariff-setting principles applicable in the 1.07.2014 - 30.06.2019 regulatory period.

On 01.01.2020 a new regulatory period began for electricity transmission lasting five years, from 1.01.2020 to 31.12.2024. The parameters of this period were set in accordance with the tariff-setting methodology, which was reviewed in 2019.

The fundamental tariff principles remained unchanged (cost base structure recognised in the tariff, limitations and efficiency requirements associated to certain cost categories deemed controllable, approving an investment with commissioning dates within the regulatory period, recovery of capital invested into regulated assets based on regulated rate of return etc.) while the application mode was slightly amended.

The accepted level of one"s own technological consumption in the electricity transmission grid was established using annual percentage ceilings ranging from 2.34% in the first year to 2.19% in the last year of the regulatory period.

The regulated asset base has been established at about 2.6 billion RON at the beginning of the 1.01.2020- 31.12.2024 regulatory period.

The ANRE-approved investment plan for this regulatory period totals about 1.7 billion RON (refurbishment / upgrade of existing infrastructure and investments into new capacities), of which about 44% are estimated to be financed from European grants and by revenues that Transelectrica obtained from the allocation of crossborder transmission capacities.

In addition to the approved investment plan ANRE accepted including about 129 mn RON in the RAB during the first year of the regulatory period, representing revaluation of regulated assets. Beginning with the second quarter of 2019 the regulated rate of return (RRR) was at 6.9% per year, level established by OUG 19/2019 amending the Electricity and natural gas law 123/2012. In accordance with OUG 1/2020 the current RRR level is valid until 30 April 2020. The RRR applicable beginning with 1 May 2020 will be establishd by ANRE.

The factors of significant contribution to tariffs changing in the last review made by ANRE are provided further (*tariffs becoming effective on 01.07.2019 and applicable until 31.12.2019, this being called the transitory interval from the third to the fourth regulatory period according to ANRE Order 57/08.05.2019).

Electricity transmission services

The tariff decrease (-2.5%) is mainly explained by two factors:

  1. Ex-post corrections - as applied to compensate the differences between the forecasted values used in the tariff calculation during previous tariff years and the actual values recorded (final corrections associated to the difference between the estimated costs & revenues and those achieved in 1 July 2017 - 30 June 2018; the inflation correction used in establishing the tariff of 1 July 2017 - 30 June 2018 and the correction related to the recovery difference between the inflation used in setting the tariff for 1 July 2016 - 30 June 2017 and the recorded one) they were positive. Ex-post corrections contributed +1.9% to increasing the newly-approved tariff compared to the applicable tariff;

Calculation items were submitted to ex-post corrections applied in the calculation of the newly-approved tariff and the most important are: (i) the electricity procurement price to cover one"s own technological consumption, (ii) uncontrollable operation and maintenance costs, (iii) costs associated to electricity transmission in-between OTS-s, (iv) costs necessary to remove congestions, (v) revenues obtained from other activites using resources recognised for transmission activities (revenues from the allocation of

interconnection capacities, revenues from other provisions, revenues from reactive electricity and revenues from transits in peripheral countries);

  1. Ex-post corrections - they relate to the investment programme and the efficiency gain for controllable operation and maintenance costs. By applying the provisions of ANRE Order 57/08.05.2019 the correction taken into consideration to calculate tariffs valid as of 1 July 2019 was 1/10 for the correction resulting as difference between the value of the approved investment programme and the value achieved in 01.07.2014-30.06.2018, and of 1/8 from the total value of the correction applied to the efficiency gain for controllable operation and maintenance costs. Ex-post corrections contributed -6.6% to changing the newlyapproved tariff compared to the applied one;

DISPUTES

The most important disputes impacting the Company are provided below:

Note: For reading facility and understanding all amounts in this chapter are expressed in RON/Euro

RAAN

File 3616/101/2014 was registered on the docket of Mehedinti Tribunal, Section II Civil, Administrative and Fiscal Disputes pertaining to "claims amounting to 1,090,831.70 RON, value of invoice 1300215/31.12.2013", file in which the Company is defendant, the claimant being the Autonomous Authority for Nuclear Activities – RAAN.

Civil ruling 127 pronounced on 10.10.2014 by Mehedinti Tribunal decided admitting the request filed by claimant RAAN and compelling the Company to pay 1,090,831.70 RON, the amount under invoice 1300215/31.12.2013.

The Company filed appeal requesting the court to admit it as filed, cancel the decision and rulings appealed against and refer the case to the territorial competent court for judgment, ascertain the compliance with the requirements in articles 1616-1617, Civil Code, for which reason it requested ascertaining the lawful compensation of mutual liabilities and their quenching up to the concurrence of the least amount thereof, namely the total sum the claimant asked in the suing deed, and compel the recurrent - claimant to pay the expenses incurred with this appeal.

The appeal was registered on the docket of the High Court of Cassation and Justice that decided cancelling decision 843/2015 and refer the case for re-judgment to the same instance, the Appeal Court Craiova.

Ruling 124/2017 of the Appeal Court Craiova admitted the appeal filed by Transelectrica and cancelled decision 127/2014 pronounced by Mehedinti Tribunal, and the case was referred to Bucharest Tribunal, Section VI Civil for re-judgment. On the docket of Bucharest Tribunal the case was registered under no. 40444/3/2017, which by civil ruling 4406/04.12.2017 decided admitting the request filed by RAAN and obliged Transelectrica to pay 1,090,831.70 RON. This sentence was contested by appeal. The hearing term was set on 13.12.2018.

In 2014-2015 the Company withheld the bonus owed to RAAN under the support scheme based on the provisions of ANRE regulations, namely article 17 para 5 of Order 116/2013 of ANRE president.

Under such circumstances RAAN calculated penalties for it"s not collecting the due cogeneration bonus amounting to 3,496,914 RON, withheld by the Company on behalf of uncashed receivables. The Company refused paying the amount of 3,496,914 RON, which was not registered as liability under the support scheme.

File 9089/101/2013/a152 related to contestation against the additional Receivables Table and against debtor RAAN, the disputed amount being 89,360,986 RON.

Transelectrica SA was recorded with 11,264,777 RON in the table of debtor RAAN, in the category of receivables resulting from the debtors" continued activities, although the Company requested the amount of 89,360,986 RON. But the remaining 78,096,209 RON were not registered in the preliminary receivables table on reason that "they are not found as payable liability in the accounting books of RAAN." Moreover the judiciary liquidator considered the request to record the amount of 78,096,209 RON as being late since it related to 2011 – 2013, for which reason the receivable statement should have been expressed when the insolvency procedure was opened, namely on 18.09.2013. Contestation was submitted against the preliminary receivables table within the legal term and Mehedinti Tribunal admitted the accounting expertise evidence.

On the 14.06.2018 hearing term the case judgment was suspended until settlement of file 3014/2/2014 found on the docket of the High Court of Cassation and Justice, and on 14.02.2019 Mehedinti Tribunal decided connecting the fore-mentioned file to the one marked 9089/101/2013/a140 (about claims – payment demand). Thus case judgment was postponed since the instance considered it useful for case settlement to present Civil ruling 2969/26.09.2018, pronounced by the High Court of Cassation and Justice under file 3014/2/2014, on cancelling Decision 743/2014 of ANRE president.

The settlement of Mehedinti Tribunal by Decision 163 / 20.06.2019 is the following: It admits the exception of decline. It partly admits the main matter as well as the connected contestation. It compels the defendant to pay 16,950,117.14 RON to the claimant, receivable occurred during the procedure and decided registering this amount in the creditors" table constituted against debtor RAAN.
