Independent Auditor's Report on the Annual Accounts

(Translation from the original in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish-language version prevails.)

To the Shareholders of Iberdrola, S.A.

REPORT ON THE ANNUAL ACCOUNTS

Opinion __________________________________________________________________

We have audited the annual accounts of Iberdrola, S.A. (the "Company"), which comprise the balance sheet at 31 December 2024, and the income statement, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes.

In our opinion, the accompanying annual accounts give a true and fair view, in all material respects, of the equity and financial position of the Company at 31 December 2024, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework (specified in note 2 to the annual accounts) and, in particular, with the accounting principles and criteria set forth therein.

Basis for Opinion _________________________________________________________

We conducted our audit in accordance with prevailing legislation regulating the audit of accounts in Spain. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Annual Accounts section of our report.

We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements, including those regarding independence, that are relevant to our audit of the annual accounts pursuant to the legislation regulating the audit of accounts in Spain. We have not provided any non-audit services, nor have any situations or circumstances arisen which, under the aforementioned regulations, have affected the required independence such that this has been compromised.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters ________________________________________________________

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in the audit of the annual accounts of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the annual accounts as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Investments in Group companies and associates See note 10 to the annual accounts
Key audit matter	How the matter was addressed in our audit
The recoverable amount of investments in Group companies and associates is determined, for those companies in which there is objective evidence of impairment, by applying valuation techniques which often require the exercising of judgement by the Directors and the use of assumptions and estimates. Due to the uncertainty associated with the establishment of these estimates, it has been considered a relevant aspect of the audit.	Our audit procedures included the following: Evaluating the design and implementation • of the key controls related to the process of identifying and calculating the recoverable amount. Analysing the Company's evaluation of the • existence of indications of impairment. Evaluating the reasonableness of the • methodology used to calculate value in use and the main assumptions considered, with the involvement of our valuation specialists. Analysing the consistency of the estimated • growth in future cash flows with the business plans approved by the Company's governing bodies. Performing a comparative analysis of the • cash flow forecasts estimated in the prior year with the actual cash flows obtained (retrospective analysis). Assessing whether the disclosures in the • annual accounts comply with the requirements of the applicable financial reporting framework.

Other Information: Directors' Report _______________________________________

Other information solely comprises the 2024 directors' report, the preparation of which is the responsibility of the Company's Directors and which does not form an integral part of the annual accounts.

Our audit opinion on the annual accounts does not encompass the directors' report. Our responsibility regarding the information contained in the directors' report is defined in the legislation regulating the audit of accounts, as follows:

• a) Determine, solely, whether the non-financial information statement and certain information included in the Annual Corporate Governance Report and the Annual Report on Directors' Remuneration, as specified in the Spanish Audit Law, have been provided in the manner stipulated in the applicable legislation, and if not, to report on this matter.
• b) Assess and report on the consistency of the rest of the information included in the directors' report with the annual accounts, based on knowledge of the entity obtained during the audit of the aforementioned annual accounts. Also, assess and report on whether the content and presentation of this part of the directors' report are in accordance with applicable legislation. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there are material misstatements, we are required to report them.

Based on the work carried out, as described above, we have observed that the information mentioned in section a) above has been provided in the manner stipulated in the applicable legislation, that the rest of the information contained in the directors' report is consistent with that disclosed in the annual accounts for 2024, and that the content and presentation of the report are in accordance with applicable legislation.

Directors' and Audit Committee's Responsibility for the Annual Accounts ____

The Directors are responsible for the preparation of the accompanying annual accounts in such a way that they give a true and fair view of the equity, financial position and financial performance of the Company in accordance with the financial reporting framework applicable to the entity in Spain, and for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of annual accounts that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the annual accounts, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

The audit committee is responsible for overseeing the preparation and presentation of the annual accounts.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Annual Accounts______________

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the annual accounts as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with prevailing legislation regulating the audit of accounts in Spain will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these annual accounts.

As part of an audit in accordance with prevailing legislation regulating the audit of accounts in Spain, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the annual accounts, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the annual accounts or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the annual accounts, including the disclosures, and whether the annual accounts represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves a true and fair view.

We communicate with Iberdrola, S.A.'s audit committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the entity's audit committee with a statement that we have complied with the ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, safeguarding measures adopted to eliminate or reduce the threat.

From the matters communicated to the audit committee of the entity, we determine those that were of most significance in the audit of the annual accounts of the current period and which are therefore the key audit matters.

We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter.

REPORT ON OTHER LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

European Single Electronic Format ________________________________________

We have examined the digital file of Iberdrola, S.A. for 2024 in European Single Electronic Format (ESEF) comprising an XHTML file with the annual accounts for the aforementioned year, which will form part of the annual financial report.

The Directors of Iberdrola, S.A. are responsible for the presentation of the 2024 annual financial report in accordance with the format requirements stipulated in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 of 17 December 2018 (hereinafter the "ESEF Regulation"). In this regard, they have incorporated the Annual Corporate Governance Report and the Annual Report on Directors' Remuneration by means of a reference thereto in the directors' report.

Our responsibility consists of examining the digital file prepared by the Company's Directors, in accordance with prevailing legislation regulating the audit of accounts in Spain. This legislation requires that we plan and perform our audit procedures to determine whether the content of the annual accounts included in the aforementioned digital file fully corresponds to the annual accounts we have audited, and whether the annual accounts have been formatted, in all material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the ESEF Regulation.

In our opinion, the digital file examined fully corresponds to the audited annual accounts, and these are presented, in all material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the ESEF Regulation.

Additional Report to the Audit Committee _________________________________

The opinion expressed in this report is consistent with our additional report to the Company's audit committee dated 28 February 2025.

Contract Period __________________________________________________________

• To carry out all manner of activities, works and services inherent in or related to the business of production, transmission, switching and distribution or supply of electric power or electricity by-products and applications thereof and the raw material or energy needed for the generation thereof; energy, engineering, informationtechnology, telecommunications and internet-related services; water treatment and distribution; the integral provision of urban and gas supply services, as well as other gas storage, regasification, transportation or distribution activities, which will be carried out indirectly through the ownership of shares or equity interests in other companies that will not engage in the supply of gas.
• The distribution, representation and marketing of all manner of goods and services, products, articles, merchandise, software programs, industrial equipment and machinery, tools, utensils, spare parts and accessories.
• The investigation, study and planning of investment and corporate organisation projects, as well as the promotion, creation and development of industrial, commercial or service companies.
• The provision of services assisting or supporting companies and businesses in which it has an interest or which are within its corporate group, for which purpose it may provide appropriate guarantees and bonds in favour thereof.

The aforementioned activities may be carried out in Spain as well as abroad, and may be carried out, in whole or in part, either directly by IBERDROLA or through the ownership of shares or equity interests in other companies, subject in all cases and at all times to applicable legal provisions for each industry, especially the electricity industry.

IBERDROLA also provides various services to other group companies, mainly including the provision of IT services and other non-operating, structural and support services. IBERDROLA, individually considered, has no environmental liabilities, expenses, assets, provisions or contingencies that could have a significant impact on its equity, financial position or results. Therefore, no specific environmental disclosures have been included in these Notes to the financial statements.

IBERDROLA has its registered office at Plaza Euskadi 5, in Bilbao.

2. Basis of presentation of the financial statements

2.1. Accounting legislation applied

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Spanish General Chart of Accounts (Plan General de Contabilidad) (PGC) approved by Royal Decree 1514/2007 of 16 November, which was amended in 2016 by Royal Decree 602/2016 of 2 December, and Royal Decree 1/2021 of 12 January and prevailing commercial legislation.

The accounting principles and measurement methods used to draw up IBERDROLA's 2024 financial statements are fully consistent with those used to draw up IBERDROLA's 2023 financial statements.

IBERDROLA has drawn up its consolidated financial statements in accordance with current law, pursuant to the provisions of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as approved by the European Union. The main figures shown in the IBERDROLA Group's 2024 and 2023 consolidated financial statements are as follows (in millions of euros):

sin dato	2024	2023
Total assets	158,293	150,033
Equity:	sin dato	sin dato
Parent	47,125	43,111
Non-controlling interests	13,926	17,181
sin dato	sin dato	sin dato
Revenue	44,739	49,335
Profit/(loss) for the year:	sin dato	sin dato
Parent	5,612	4,803
Non-controlling interests	336	591

2.2. True and fair view

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of IBERDROLA's auxiliary accounting records, in accordance with prevailing accounting legislation and the electronic reporting format requirements set out in Commission Delegated Regulation EU 2018/815, in order to give a true and fair view of the equity, financial position and results of IBERDROLA.

The statement of cash flows has been drawn up to present fairly the source and application of IBERDROLA's cash and cash equivalents.

At 31 December 2024, IBERDROLA's statement of financial position showed a working capital deficit (current liabilities exceeding current assets) in the amount of EUR 2,656 million. This deficit is largely due to the existence of current debt with group companies and associates amounting to EUR 1,700 million, and bank borrowings amounting to EUR 1,221 thousand. According to IBERDROLA's directors, this will be offset by the generation of funds from the IBERDROLA Group's businesses and the dividends received from its subsidiaries. In addition, the IBERDROLA Group has committed but undrawn credit facilities in the amount of EUR 15,206 million (Note 5).

2.3. Comparative information

In accordance with commercial legislation, figures for the previous year have been provided along with the figures for 2024 for comparative purposes in relation to each item on the statement of financial position, income statement, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows. Quantitative information from the previous year is also included in the Notes.

3. Distribution of earnings

IBERDROLA's Board of Directors has agreed to submit for the approval of the shareholders at the General Shareholders' Meeting the following distribution of 2024 profit and prior years' profit and loss, all expressed in millions of euros:

sin dato	2024
Basis for distribution:	sin dato
Prior years' profit and loss	11,962
Profit for financial year 2024	5,652
Total	17,614
Distribution:	sin dato
To legal reserve	0
To dividends	Amount to be determined by adding: (a) the Total Interim Dividend; and (b) the result of multiplying the Final Dividend by the total number of shares in respect of which the holders have decided to receive the Final Dividend under the framework of the first-time application of the Iberdrola Retribución Flexible optional dividend system for 2025.
To retained earnings	Amount to be determined by deducting the amounts set aside for the dividend from the total amount for distribution.
Total	17,614

The Board of Directors of IBERDROLA has agreed to propose to the General Shareholders' Meeting the payment, out of earnings for 2024 and retained earnings from previous years, a dividend the aggregate gross amount of which will be equal to the sum of the following amounts:

• (a) the EUR 448 million that was paid out as an interim dividend for 2024 on 31 January 2025 to the holders of 1,938,270,918 IBERDROLA shares who chose to receive their remuneration in cash under the second application of the optional Iberdrola Retribución Flexible optional dividend system for 2024 and therefore received EUR 0.231, gross, per share (the Total Interim Dividend); and
• (b) the amount to be determined by multiplying:
  • (i) the gross amount per share that the Company will pay as a final dividend for 2024, as part of the first-time application of the Iberdrola Retribución Flexible optional dividend system for 2025 (Final Dividend); by
  • (ii) the total number of shares upon which the holders have opted to receive the Final Dividend within the framework of the first application of the Iberdrola Retribución Flexible optional dividend system for 2025.

On the date of authorisation for issue of these financial statements, it is not possible to determine the amount of the Final Dividend or, consequently, the amount of the dividend charged to 2024 profit.

The Final Dividend will be paid together with the implementation of the bonus issue that the Board of Directors will propose to the General Shareholders' Meeting, to offer the shareholders the possibility of receiving their remuneration in cash (through the payment of the Final Dividend) or in the newly-issued scrip shares of the Company (through the aforementioned bonus issue).

Payment of the Final Dividend will be one of the alternatives that a shareholder may choose when receiving their remuneration under the first-time application of the Iberdrola Retribución Flexible optional dividend system for 2025, which will be carried out through the aforementioned scrip issue.

4. Accounting policies

4.1. Intangible assets

Intangible assets are measured at acquisition cost or production cost, less any accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses. An intangible asset is recognised only if it is probable that it will generate future economic benefits that will flow to IBERDROLA and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. The recoverability of intangible assets is analysed when events or changes in circumstances take place that indicate that their carrying amount may not be recovered.

The acquisition price or production cost includes specific and generic finance expenses, incurred prior to putting the asset to use for those intangible assets that take more than one year to be ready for use.

Intangible assets are amortised using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life. If the useful life cannot be reliably estimated, the intangible assets will be amortised on a 10 year basis, unless another legal or regulatory provision establishes a different time limit. The amortisation periods and methods are revised annually at year end and, where appropriate, adjusted prospectively.

Computer software

The costs incurred in connection with the basic computer systems used in the management of IBERDROLA and developed in-house, and the amounts paid for ownership of or the right to use programs, are also recorded under the "Intangible assets" heading of the statement of financial position. These items are amortised on a straight-line basis over a maximum period of five years from the date on which each application comes into service. Personnel expenses for employees who have worked on IT projects are recognised as an increase in the cost of the projects and recorded with a credit to "Own work capitalised" in the income statement.

4.2. Property, plant and equipment

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at acquisition or production cost, including the legally permitted revaluations undertaken by IBERDROLA under Royal Decreelaw 7/1996, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any.

The acquisition price or production cost includes specific and generic financial costs incurred prior to putting the asset into use for assets that take more than one year to be ready for use. Also, personnel expenses related directly or indirectly to facilities under construction are recognised as an increase in the cost of the projects and recorded with a credit to "Own work capitalised" in the income statement.

Repairs that do not prolong the useful life of the assets and maintenance expenses are charged directly to the income statement as accrued. Expenses incurred for expansion or improvements that increase the productivity or prolong the useful life of the asset are capitalised as an increase in the value of the assets.

Replacements or renewals of complete units are recorded as an increase in property, plant and equipment, and the units replaced or renewed are derecognised.

IBERDROLA transfers work under construction to property, plant and equipment in use upon startup of the plant.

Leases are classified as finance leases when an analysis of the nature of the agreement and its terms and conditions reveals that all risks and rewards of ownership of the asset have been substantially transferred to IBERDROLA. Therefore, the property acquired under these leases is accounted for by its nature in property, plant and equipment for an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of minimum payments set at the beginning of the lease.

The amortisation and depreciation of the fixed assets shown on the statement of financial position at 31 December 2024 is based on cost using the straight-line method over the following estimated years of useful life:

sin dato	Average years of estimated useful life
Buildings	50
Equipment for IT processes	4 – 8
Other fixed assets	7 – 40

At each financial year end, IBERDROLA reviews and adjusts, where necessary, the assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation method, prospectively adjusting them, as appropriate.

4.3. Impairment of non-current non-financial assets

IBERDROLA assesses, at least annually, whether there is any indication that its non-current non-financial assets may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.

An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less cost to sell, or value in use. In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the specific risk to the asset. For assets that do not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other financial assets or groups of assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating units to which the asset belongs.

Impairment losses are recognised for all assets or, where appropriate, their cash-generating units, when the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement and, except in the case of goodwill, reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount. Reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income in the income statement and only to the extent that the increased carrying amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset.

4.4. Financial instruments

4.4.1 Classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities

IBERDROLA determines the most appropriate classification for each financial asset on acquisition and reviews the classification at each year end date.

The financial assets and liabilities of IBERDROLA are classified as follows:

a) Financial assets at cost

This category includes investments in companies in which the entity exercises control (group companies) or joint control via by-law resolutions or contractual arrangements with one or more partners (jointly controlled entities), or has significant influence (associates) and investments in equity instruments the fair value of which cannot be reliably determined.

In the statement of financial position, these investments are initially recognised at fair value which, barring evidence to the contrary, is the transaction price. The transaction price is equivalent to the fair value of the consideration given. The initial value includes preferential subscription and similar rights acquired. After initial measurement, these financial assets are stated at cost, less any accumulated impairment loss.

In the case of non-monetary contributions to a group company for the purpose of a business, the investment is measured at the carrying amount of the delivered assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements on the date the transaction was performed. The consolidated financial statements used are those of the higher group or subgroup, whose parent is Spanish, in which the assets and liabilities are included.

When these assets must be valued, for derecognition from the statement of financial position or other purposes, they are measured using the weighted average cost method by standard groups, understanding that these values have the same rights. When pre-emptive subscription rights or similar are sold or transferred for exercise, the cost of the rights is deducted from the carrying amount of the related assets.

b) Financial assets at amortised cost

Financial assets that meet the following conditions are included in this category:

• The assets are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the assets to obtain the contractual cash flows, and
• The contractual terms give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

These assets are initially recognised at fair value plus transactions costs and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Interest accrued is recognised in the income statement applying the effective interest method. However, financial assets maturing in less than a year that do not have a contractual interest rate are measured both initially and subsequently at their nominal amount when the impact of not discounting cash flows is immaterial.

c) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

This category includes all other financial assets, including derivative financial instruments, that do not qualify for hedge accounting in accordance with applicable accounting regulations (Note 15).

Assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value. Transaction costs directly attributable to the purchase or issue are recognised as an expense in the Income statement. Changes in fair value are recognised in the income statement for the year under "Changes in fair value of financial instruments".

d) Financial liabilities

IBERDROLA classifies all financial liabilities measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, except for derivative financial instruments, which are recognised at fair value.

Financial liabilities at amortised cost are initially recognised at fair value which, barring evidence to the contrary, is the transaction price. The transaction price is equivalent to the fair value of the consideration received. Directly attributable transaction costs are included in the initial measurement of financial liabilities. After initial recognition, financial liabilities included in this category are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Interest accrued is recognised in the income statement applying the effective interest method.

However, trade payables maturing within one year that do not have a contractual interest rate are measured at nominal value when the impact of not discounting cash flows is not significant.

4.4.2. Interest and dividends received on financial assets

Dividends are recognised as income in the income statement when the investee or any group company in which the investee holds an interest generates profits in excess of the equity to be distributed.

When the dividends paid come explicitly from profits obtained prior to the acquisition date, these dividends are not recognised as income, but are rather deducted from the carrying amount of the investment.

The judgement as to whether the investee has generated profits will be made solely on the basis of the profits recognised in the separate income statement since the date on which the investee was acquired, unless it is clear that the dividend payment out of those profits should be treated as a recovery of the investment in the eyes of the entity receiving the dividend.

Interest is recognised using the effective interest rate method and dividends when the right to receive the payment is established.

4.4.3. Impairment of financial assets

IBERDROLA regularly assesses whether its financial assets or groups of financial assets are impaired.

a) Financial assets at amortised cost

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on an asset or group of assets carried at amortised cost has been incurred, due to an event or series of events that have occurred after initial recognition and that lead to a reduction or delay in the estimated future cash flows, the carrying amount of the asset or group of assets is corrected.

The amount of the impairment loss on these financial assets is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate. For variable-rate financial assets, the effective interest rate at the year-end financial statements date based on the contractual terms is used. Impairment losses on a group of financial assets are calculated using models based on statistical formulas or methods.

Impairment adjustments and their reversal, when the amount of such loss decreases due to causes related to a subsequent event, are recognised as an expense or income, respectively, in the income statement. The loss can only be reversed to the limit of the carrying amount of the asset had the impairment loss not been recognised.

b) Equity investments in group companies and associates

When there is objective evidence that the carrying amount of an investment cannot be recovered, it is adjusted accordingly.

The amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the investment and its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and the present value of the estimated future cash flows. In estimating impairment on investments, the investee's equity (or consolidated equity, as the case may be) is taken into consideration, corrected for any unrealised gains at the measurement date, unless better evidence of the recoverable amount of the investment is available.

The impairment losses and, where appropriate, their reversals are recognised as an expense or income, respectively, in the income statement. An impairment loss may be reversed up to the carrying amount of the asset recognised at the date of reversal had no impairment loss been recognised previously.

4.4.4. Derecognition of financial assets

IBERDROLA derecognises a financial asset, or part of a financial asset, when the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or are transferred, and it has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to its ownership. This is assessed by comparing IBERDROLA's exposure to the change in the amounts and schedule of net cash flows from the transferred asset before and after the transfer.

If IBERDROLA has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognised when it has not retained control of the asset, which is determined based on the transferee's ability to transfer the asset. If IBERDROLA retains control of the asset, it continues to recognise the asset at the amount of the company's exposure to changes in the fair value of the transferred asset; that is, to the extent of its continuing involvement, and recognises the related liability.

When the financial asset is derecognised, the difference between the net consideration received less directly attributable transaction costs, taking into account any new asset acquired less any liability assumed, and the carrying amount of the financial asset plus any cumulative amounts recognised directly in equity determines the related gain or loss and is recognised in the income statement in the year.

IBERDROLA does not derecognise financial assets and recognises a financial liability at the amount received in return in transfers of financial assets where it has retained substantially all the risks and rewards inherent to ownership.

4.4.5. Derecognition of financial liabilities

IBERDROLA derecognises a financial liability when the obligation has been extinguished.

When a debt instrument between IBERDROLA and the counterparty is replaced by another on substantially different terms, the original financial liability is derecognised and the new liability is recognised. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability or part of the financial liability and the amount paid to extinguish the liability, including attributable transaction costs and any asset transferred other than cash or liability assumed, is recognised in the income statement for the period.

IBERDROLA considers that the conditions are substantially different if the present value of the discounted cash flows under the new conditions, including any fee paid net of any fee received, and using the original effective interest rate for the discount, differs at least 10 per cent from the current discounted value of the remaining cash flows from the original financial liability.

When the debt instrument is replaced by another on terms that are not substantially different, the original financial liability is not derecognised in the statement of financial position, and the carrying amount is adjusted for the fees paid. The amortised cost of the financial liability is determined using the effective interest rate, which is the rate used to discount the carrying amount of the financial liability at the date of modification to the cash flows payable under the new terms.

4.4.6. Derivative financial instruments and hedging arrangements

Derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value in the statement of financial position, and subsequently remeasured at fair value as necessary. Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value on derivatives are recognised directly in the income statement except for those designated as cash flow hedges, in which case the changes in fair value are temporarily recognised in equity.

At the beginning of each hedging relationship, IBERDROLA formally designates and documents the relationship. This documentation includes the beginning and end date of the hedge, the identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item, the nature of the risk being hedged and how it assesses the instrument's effectiveness. In addition, hedges are assessed periodically to determine that they are highly effective both prospectively and retrospectively.

Hedges that meet the criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for as follows:

a) Fair value hedges

Hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognised asset or liability or firm commitment.

Changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments designated as a hedge, or the exchange rate component of a monetary item in the case of hedging instruments that are not derivatives, as well as changes in the fair value of the hedged item due to the hedged risk, are recognised in the income statement.

b) Cash flow hedges

Used to hedge exposure to fluctuations in cash flows that are either attributable to a specific risk associated with an asset or liability or a highly probable planned transaction, or fluctuations in foreign currency risk under a firm commitment.

Amounts taken to equity are transferred to the income statement when the hedged transaction affects profit or loss. When the hedged relates to a forecast transaction that leads to the recognition of a non-financial asset or liability, the amounts taken to equity are transferred to the cost of the asset acquired or liability assumed. The part of the hedge considered ineffective is recorded in the income statement.

c) Hedges of net investment in foreign operations

Hedges of investments in foreign operations are treated as fair value hedges for the foreign currency component.

Changes in value of the hedging instrument or exchange rate differences associated with the monetary item used as the hedging instrument are recognised in the income statement. Changes in value of the investments associated with the underlying amount in foreign currency are recognised in the income statement.

Discontinuation of hedge accounting

The IBERDROLA Group prospectively discontinues fair value hedge accounting where the hedging instrument expires, is sold, released or exercised, the hedge no longer fulfils the hedge accounting conditions or the designation is revoked.

When hedge accounting is discontinued, the cumulative amount at that date recognised under "Adjustments for changes in value" in the statement of financial position is maintained in said heading until the hedged transaction occurs, whereupon the gain or loss on the transaction will be adjusted. If a hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, the amount accumulated under the aforementioned heading is transferred to the income statement.

Fair value of derivative financial instruments

The fair value of derivative financial instruments is calculated as follows (Note 15):

• The fair value of derivatives quoted on an organised market corresponds to their quoted price at year end.
• For derivatives not traded in organised financial markets, IBERDROLA uses assumptions based on market conditions at the date of the statement of financial position. In particular:
  • the fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the value discounted at market interest rates of the interest rate swap contract spread;
  • currency futures are measured by discounting the future cash flows calculated using the forward exchange rates at year end.

These measurement models take into account the risks of the asset or liability, including the credit risk of both the counterparty (Credit Value Adjustment) and the entity itself (Debit Value Adjustment). The credit risk is calculated according to the following parameters:

• Exposure at default: the amount of the risk arising at the time of non-payment by a counterparty, taking into account any collateral or compensation arrangements connected to the transaction.
• Probability of default: the probability that a counterparty will breach its obligations to pay the principal and/or interest, depending mainly on the features of the counterparty and its credit rating.

• Loss given default: the estimated loss in the event of default.

4.5. Cash and cash equivalents

This heading includes cash, bank current accounts, short-term deposits and purchases of assets under repurchase agreements that meet the following requirements:

• They are readily convertible to cash.
• They mature within less than three months from the acquisition date.
• The risk of change in value is insignificant.
• They are part of the IBERDROLA's standard cash management policy.

For the statement of cash flows, occasional bank overdrafts used as part of IBERDROLA's cash management strategy are recognised as a decrease in cash and cash equivalents. There are no significant restrictions on the availability of cash.

4.6. Treasury shares

Treasury shares held by IBERDROLA at the date of the statement of financial position under the "Equity – Treasury shares and own equity investments" heading are measured at acquisition cost.

Gains and losses arising from the sale of treasury shares by IBERDROLA Group companies are recognised under "Reserves – Other reserves" in the statement of financial position.

4.7. Post-employment and other employee benefits

Contributions to defined contribution post-employment benefit plans are recognised as an expense under the "Personnel expenses" heading in the income statement on an accrual basis.

In the case of defined benefit plans, IBERDROLA's policy is to recognise the related expense on an accrual basis over the working lives of the employees based on actuarial studies by independent experts using the projected unit credit method to measure the obligation accrued at the end of the period. Any actuarial gains and losses are recognised under the "Reserves – Other reserves" heading when they arise. The provision recognised for this item represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation reduced by the fair value of the plan assets.

When the fair value of the assets exceeds the present value of the obligation, the net asset is not recognised in the statement of financial position unless it is virtually certain that it will be recovered by IBERDROLA.

4.8. Early retirement plans

IBERDROLA recognises termination benefits when there is an agreement with the employees or a certain expectation that such an agreement will be reached that will enable the employees to be terminated in exchange for a severance payment.

IBERDROLA has labour force reduction plans in progress which guarantee those benefits will be received throughout the pre-retirement period.

IBERDROLA recognises the full amount of the expenditure relating to these plans when the obligation is incurred by performing the appropriate actuarial studies to calculate the present value of the actuarial obligation at year end. The actuarial gains and losses disclosed each year are recognised in the income statement for that year.

4.9. Termination benefits

Under current labour regulations, IBERDROLA is required to make severance payments to terminated employees under certain conditions.

4.10. Share-based employee compensation

The delivery of IBERDROLA shares to employees as consideration for their services is recognised under the "Personnel expenses" heading in the income statement as the employees perform the services, with a credit to equity under the "Reserves – Other reserves" heading in the statement of financial position at the fair value of the equity instruments on the grant date, defined as the date when IBERDROLA and its employees reach an agreement establishing the terms of the compensation.

If share-based remuneration is paid in cash, the amount booked as "Personnel expenses" in the income statement is credited to "Non-current payables – Other financial liabilities" on the liabilities side of the statement of financial position, and the fair value of the cash consideration is remeasured at each reporting date.

4.11. Provisions, contingent assets and liabilities

IBERDROLA relies on its best estimates to recognise provisions for contingencies and expenses to cover probable or certain quantifiable liabilities arising from litigation in progress or from indemnity payments, obligations or unpaid expenses of an undetermined amount, and collateral and other similar guarantees provided by the company.

Provisions are recognised in the statement of financial position when IBERDROLA has a present obligation (legal, contractual, constructive or tacit) as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.

A provision is recognised when the liability or obligation arises, with a charge to the heading in the income statement in accordance with the nature of the obligation, for the present value of the provision when the effect of discounting the value of the obligation to present value is material. The change in the provision due to its discounting each year is recognised under "Finance expenses" in the income statement.

In addition, contingent liabilities are understood as possible obligations resulting from past events, the occurrence of which is subject to future events that are not entirely under the control of IBERDROLA, as well as current obligations resulting from past events, for which it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or that they cannot be measured reliably. These contingent liabilities are not recognised, but are detailed in the Notes when an outflow of resources is possible.

Contingent assets are only recognised when their realisation is deemed virtually certain.

4.12. Transactions in foreign currency

Transactions in foreign currency are initially recognised at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the date of the statement of financial position. All translation differences, both gains and losses, originated in this process, including those arising from the settlement of items on the statement of financial position, are taken to the income statement for the year in which they arise.

4.13. Income tax

IBERDROLA files consolidated tax returns with certain group companies.

Income tax expense for the year is calculated as the sum of the current tax expense derived by applying the corresponding tax rate to the tax base for the year, after taking into account all applicable tax relief and deductions, and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities recognised. Tax deductions and credits are recognised in the companies that generated them.

Income tax expense is recognised in the income statement except when it relates directly to items recognised in equity, in which case it is also recognised in this heading.

Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from/paid to the tax authorities. The tax rates used are those in force at the date of the statement of financial position, including any tax adjustments from previous years.

Meanwhile, temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements generate deferred income tax balances.

IBERDROLA recognises deferred tax liabilities for all taxable temporary differences unless the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affected neither accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.

IBERDROLA recognises deferred tax assets for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that IBERDROLA will have taxable profit available against which these can be utilised, except when the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profit or loss.

At the end of each year, IBERDROLA reviews the deferred tax assets recognised at the date of the statement of financial position and those that have not been recognised previously. Based on this review, IBERDROLA derecognises a previously recognised asset if it is no longer probable that it will be recovered or recognises a deferred tax asset not previously recorded only if it is probable that IBERDROLA will have sufficient taxable profit available for it to be utilised.

Unless there is evidence to the contrary, it is not considered likely that the tax group will have future tax gains if future recovery is expected in more than 10 years from the reporting date. However, it is considered likely that the tax group will have sufficient tax gains to recover deferred tax assets where there are taxable temporary differences that may be reversed in the same year as the expected reversal of deductible temporary differences or in years in which a tax loss, due to a deductible temporary difference, can be netted against previous or subsequent gains.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply at the time of the reversal based on tax laws in effect and on how it is reasonably expected to recover the deferred tax asset or settle the deferred tax liability. Changes to the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised in the income statement, except where the related deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised directly in equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured without taking into account the impact of the time value of money.

4.14. Current/non-current classification of assets and liabilities

Assets and liabilities are classified in the statement of financial position as current or noncurrent. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are classified as current when they are associated with IBERDROLA's operating cycle and are expected to be sold, consumed, realised or settled within one year.

4.15. Income and expenses

Income and expenses are recognised at the time the goods or services they represent are delivered or rendered, regardless of when actual payment or collection occurs.

Income from the sale of goods and rendering of services is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or to be received, derived from them, less the amount of any discount, price reduction or similar granted by the company, as well as the indirect taxes levied on the transactions which can be passed on to third parties.

Income is recognised based on the economic substance of the transaction and is recognised when all of the following conditions are met:

• IBERDROLA has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods to the buyer, regardless of when legal title is transferred.
• IBERDROLA does not maintain managerial involvement to the extent usually associated with ownership and effective control over the goods.
• The amount of the income can be measured reliably.

• It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to IBERDROLA.
• The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

In addition, income from the rendering of services is recognised when the outcome of the transaction can be estimated reliably, taking into account the stage of completion at the reporting date. When the outcome of the transaction involving the rendering of services cannot be estimated reliably, income should be recognised to the extent of the expenses recognised that are deemed recoverable.

As a holding company of the IBERDROLA Group, IBERDROLA includes dividends and accrued income from financing granted to subsidiaries, as well as services rendered to group companies, under the heading "Revenue" in the income statement.

Related-party transactions are accounted for pursuant to the aforementioned valuation standards

5. Financial risk management

The IBERDROLA Group, of which Iberdrola, S.A. is the parent, is exposed to various financial risks inherent in the countries, industries and markets in which it operates and the businesses it carries out, which could prevent it from achieving its objectives and successfully pursuing its strategies.

In particular, the Financing and Financial Risk Policy and the Corporate Risk Credit Policy of the IBERDROLA Group, both approved by the Board of Directors, identify the risk factors described below that could affect the Company. The IBERDROLA Group has an organisation and systems that enable it to identify, measure and control the financial risks to which it is exposed.

The Company performs its corporate business activities indirectly through the ownership of shares or other equity investments in other companies (country subholding companies, which in turn operate through the parent companies of their respective businesses). The corporate and governance organisation is based on the recognition of the multinational nature of the Group.

Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to the risk of fluctuations in interest rates affecting cash flows and fair value in respect of items in the statement of financial position (debt and derivatives).

In order to adequately manage and limit this risk, each year the Company determines the desired structure of the debt between fixed and floating interest rate. The actions to be carried out throughout the year are regularly planned: new sources of financing (at a fixed, floating or indexed rate) and/or the use of interest rate derivatives.

IBERDROLA's debt structure, comprising bank borrowings and financial lease payables, at 31 December 2024 and 2023, after taking into account hedging via derivatives, is as follows (in millions of euros):

sin dato	2024	2023
Fixed interest rate	271	309
Floating interest rate	1,181	246
Total	1,452	555

The debt structure with IBERDROLA group companies and associates at 31 December 2024 and 2023, after taking into account hedges via derivatives, is as follows (in millions of euros):

sin dato	2024	2023
Fixed interest rate	11,244	9,919
Floating interest rate	1,802	4,857
Total (1)	13,046	14,776

(1) Does not include derivatives with group companies and associates.

Floating rate debt is referenced to Euribor.

Currency risk

As IBERDROLA's functional currency is the euro, fluctuations in the value of the currencies of borrowings and transactions (mainly pound sterling, US dollar and Brazilian real) with respect to the euro may have an impact on the Group's finance expenses, earnings for the year and equity.

IBERDROLA mitigates this risk by ensuring that all of its economic flows are in euros, provided that this is possible, economically viable and efficient, or otherwise through the use of derivatives.

The impact of exchange rate variations on investments in foreign subsidiaries is mitigated by holding debt in foreign currency, as well as through financial derivatives.

Liquidity risk

Exposure to adverse situations in the debt or capital markets or Iberdrola, S.A.'s economic and financial situation can hinder or prevent it from obtaining the financing required to properly carry out its business activities.

The IBERDROLA Group's liquidity policy, which has a global focus, is designed to ensure that it can meet its payment obligations without having to rely on financing under unfavourable terms. For this purpose, various management metrics are used, such as the arrangement of committed credit facilities of sufficient amount, term and flexibility, diversification of the hedging of financing needs through access to different markets and geographical areas, and diversification of the maturities of the debt issued.

Figures showing IBERDROLA's debt performance are included in Note 14 to the financial statements.

At 31 December 2024 and 2023, IBERDROLA had no undrawn loans or other borrowings. At 31 December 2024, the IBERDROLA Group had undrawn loans and other borrowings amounting to EUR 15,206 million (Note 2.2).

Credit risk

IBERDROLA Group companies are exposed to the credit risk arising from the possibility that their counterparties (customers, financial institutions, partners, insurers, insurance firms, etc.) might fail to honour their contractual obligations.

Risk is properly managed and limited, depending on the type of transaction and the creditworthiness of counterparties. Notably, there is a Corporate Credit Risk Policy setting the framework and principles of conduct for proper risk management.

Receivables do not carry a material credit risk for IBERDROLA since its activity as a holding company for the Group is centred on services provided to other group companies. There were no material non-payments or losses in 2024 or 2023 in relation to other exposures (counterparties in transactions with derivatives, placement of cash surpluses, etc.).

Sensitivity analysis

The following sensitivity analyses show, for each type of risk (without reflecting the interdependence among risk variables), how income for the year and equity might be affected by reasonably possible changes in each risk variable at 31 December 2024 and 2023.

• Interest rates:

To calculate the sensitivity of profit or loss to changes in interest rates, an increase or decrease of 50 basis points (equally across all currencies) is applied to the closing balance of financial assets and liabilities referenced to a floating interest rate, after taking into account hedges with derivatives. To calculate the sensitivity of equity, an increase or decrease of 50 basis points (equally across all currencies) is applied to the fair value of the outstanding cash flow hedges at year-end, the change in fair value of which is recognised in equity.

The sensitivity of consolidated profit or loss and equity to interest rate fluctuations is as follows (in millions of euros):

sin dato	Increase/decrease in interest rate (basis points)	Impact on profit before tax Income/(Expense)	Direct impact on equity before tax	Impact on equity before tax
	Increase of 50 bp	(9)	0	(9)
2024	Reduction of 50 bp	9	0	9
2023	Increase of 50 bp	(24)	0	(24)
	Reduction of 50 bp	24	0	24

• Exchange rates:

To calculate the sensitivity of profit or loss to changes in exchange rates, a decrease or increase of 5% is applied mainly to balance sheet items denominated in non-euro currencies (net of economic hedges arranged). The sensitivity of equity to exchange rates is calculated by applying an appreciation or depreciation of 5% on the cash flow hedge derivatives whose variation in fair value is recognised in equity.

The sensitivity of consolidated profit or loss and equity to changes in the dollar/euro exchange rate is as follows (in millions of euros):

sin dato	Change	Impact on profit before tax Income/(Expense)	Direct impact on equity before tax	Impact on equity before tax
2024	Depreciation of 5%	4	0	4
	Appreciation of 5%	(4)	0	(4)
2023	Depreciation of 5%	4	0	4
	Appreciation of 5%	(4)	0	(4)

The sensitivity of consolidated profit or loss and equity to changes in the pound/euro exchange rate is as follows (in millions of euros):

sin dato	Change	Impact on profit before tax Income/(Expense)	Direct impact on equity before tax	Impact on equity before tax
	Depreciation of 5%	0	0	0
2024	Appreciation of 5%	0	0	0
2023	Depreciation of 5%	10	0	10
	Appreciation of 5%	(11)	0	(11)

6. Use of accounting estimates

IBERDROLA relied on certain assumptions and estimates in drawing up these financial statements. The main matters subject to estimate in the preparation of these financial statements are as follows:

• Provision for pensions and similar obligations:

At each year end, IBERDROLA estimates the current actuarial provision required to cover obligations relating to pensions plans and other similar commitments with its employees. In preparing these estimates, IBERDROLA receives advice from independent actuaries (Notes 4.7 and 4.8).

• Impairment of investments in group companies and associates:

As described in Note 4.3, IBERDROLA, in accordance with applicable accounting regulations, conducts an annual impairment test for those investments that require such a test. Specific tests are also conducted if indications of impairment are detected. These impairment tests require the estimate of the future business performance and the most appropriate discount rate in each case. IBERDROLA believes these estimates are appropriate and consistent with the current market situation.

• Provisions for contingencies and expenses:

As described in Note 4.11, IBERDROLA recognises provisions to cover present obligations arising from past events. For this purpose, it must assess the outcome of certain procedures of a legal or other nature that are ongoing at the date of authorisation for issue of these financial statements, based on the best information available.

Although these estimates were made on the basis of the best information available at the date of authorisation for issue of these financial statements, future events may require adjustments (upwards or downwards) in coming years. Any such changes would be applied prospectively, recognising the effects of the change in estimates for future periods.

(1) Includes derivatives with third parties and with group companies and associates.

The fair value of "Bank borrowings", "Finance lease payables" and "Borrowings with group companies and associates" (except derivative financial instruments with group companies and associates) under current and non-current liabilities in the statement of financial position at 31 December 2024 and 2023 amounted to EUR 14,448 million and EUR 14,995 million, respectively. Their carrying amount was EUR 14,499 million and EUR 15,331 million, respectively. This valuation belongs to Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. The fair value of the remaining financial instruments does not differ significantly from their carrying amount.

Fair value is determined by discounting future cash flow payments using the applicable market rates at the valuation date.

IBERDROLA recognises derivative financial instruments at their fair value provided such value can be reliably measured and classifies them at three levels:

• Level 1: assets and liabilities listed in liquid markets.
• Level 2: assets and liabilities whose fair value has been determined by employing valuation techniques that use assumptions observable in the market.
• Level 3: assets and liabilities whose fair value has been determined by employing valuation techniques that do not use assumptions observable in the market.

The levels of derivative financial instruments recognised at their fair value are as follows, expressed in millions of euros:

Significant transactions in 2024 and 2023

The most noteworthy transactions in 2024 and 2023 in relation to the holdings owned by IBERDROLA are as follows:

• In March 2024, IBERDROLA submitted to the Board of Directors of Avangrid, Inc. (AVANGRID) a non-binding preliminary expression of interest whereby IBERDROLA proposed to acquire, through a merger or as otherwise agreed between the parties, all of the ordinary shares of AVANGRID not already owned by IBERDROLA.

In May 2024, IBERDROLA entered into a merger agreement with AVANGRID and IBERDROLA's investee Arizona Merger Sub, Inc. ("Merger Sub"), pursuant to which IBERDROLA would acquire all of the AVANGRID ordinary shares not already owned by IBERDROLA for USD 35.75 per share in cash. Following completion of the merger of Merger Sub into AVANGRID, IBERDROLA would hold 100% of AVANGRID's share capital.

AVANGRID's General Shareholders' Meeting was held on 26 September 2024, at which the merger resolution was passed. The transaction had been previously approved by AVANGRID's Board of Directors.

After receiving the necessary clearance, the merger between AVANGRID and Merger Sub was completed on 23 December 2024, whereupon IBERDROLA became the holder of 100% of AVANGRID's share capital.

The total consideration payable by Iberdrola to the current holders of AVANGRID shares other than IBERDROLA under the transaction amounted to USD 2,551 million, equivalent to EUR 2,454 million. In addition, the costs associated with the transaction amounting to EUR 18 million were included as a higher cost of the investment.

• In 2024 Iberdrola España, S.A. approved the distribution of reserves and an interim dividend amounting to EUR 7,700 million, of which EUR 5,666 million was recognised with a charge to "Revenue" and EUR 2,034 million as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment, as it related to the recovery of part of the investment.
• On 2 August 2024, IBERDROLA entered into certain agreements with all the shareholders of North West Electricity Networks (Jersey) Limited (NWEN), a company that indirectly holds 100% of the share capital of Electricity North West Limited (ENW), a British electricity distribution company operating in the United Kingdom, for the acquisition of 88% of the share capital of ENW Holding and, indirectly, of ENW.

Under the terms of the agreement, IBERDROLA was entitled to pass its contractual position under the purchase agreement to a wholly-owned subsidiary (directly or indirectly) up to 10 business days prior to the execution date, whereupon that subsidiary would assume the role of the purchaser under the agreement. The novation took place on 30 September 2024, with Scottish Power Energy Networks Holdings Limited (SPENH) becoming the new purchaser.

The acquisition by the IBERDROLA Group, through its subsidiary SPENH, of NWEN took place on 22 October 2024. The signing of the contract had no effect on IBERDROLA's separate annual financial statements at 31 December 2024.

• In 2023, IBERDROLA contributed a total of EUR 335 million in funds to Iberdrola Energía Internacional, S.A.

Impairment

• In 2024, Iberdrola Participaciones, S.AU. recognised an impairment loss of EUR 54 million in respect of the same company to reflect the difference between its carrying amount and recoverable amount (EUR 184 million in 2023).
• At 31 December 2023, IBERDROLA's separate financial statements included a valuation adjustment in respect of the investment held in Iberdrola Financiación, S.A.U. amounting to EUR 24 million, which was subsequently reversed in 2024 (reversal of EUR 157 million in 2023). Valuation adjustments have been calculated as the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of all assets and liabilities of the investment.
• In 2024, the Company reversed the impairment loss on Scottish Power Overseas Holdings, Ltd. for the difference between its carrying amount and recoverable amount. The resulting reversal of the impairment charge amounted to EUR 15 million (EUR 8 million in 2023).

Analysis of impairment

The balance of group companies and associates at 31 December 2024 included the following items:

• EUR 2,400 million corresponding to the stake held in NEOENERGIA (EUR 137 million relating to the direct stake and EUR 2,263 million to the stake in Iberdrola Energía, S.A.U.). The value of IBERDROLA's stake on the stock exchange at yearend 2024 was EUR 1,898 million.
• EUR 16,600 million corresponding to IBERDROLA's direct stake in AVANGRID. The acquisition of 18.5% of the company at a price of USD 35.75 per share would result in a valuation of the 100% stake in IBERDROLA of EUR 13,255 million, without other considerations such as a possible control premium.

The directors ran an impairment analysis on the stake held in NEOENERGIA and AVANGRID at 31 December 2024 on the understanding that there was evidence of impairment, given that the quoted market value was lower than the carrying amount of the stake in the case of NEOENERGIA and lower than the purchase price in the case of AVANGRID.

The key assumptions for these tests were as follows, according to the businesses grouped in those interests:

• a) Assumptions used in the Networks business:
• Regulated remuneration: the Company has used the remuneration approved for the years in which that remuneration was available, while for subsequent years it has used the appropriate legal mechanisms for updating this remuneration. This process has been applied in a manner consistent with the estimated costs of the corresponding cash-generating units.

• Investment: based on investment plans that reflect the expected growth in demand and commitments set out in the concession agreements, subject to the minimum values required by the various regulatory bodies and including an estimation of future remuneration to be used.
• Operating and maintenance costs: the best available estimate of likely changes in these costs has been considered, on the understanding that they are to be consistent with the remuneration assumed to be received in each year.
• b) Assumptions used at the Renewable energies business:
• Facility output: the operating hours of each wind farm are consistent with their historical output. For this purpose, it is important to take into account the long-term predictability of farm power output, which is also subject to regulatory mechanisms so that the farms are able to generate power, prevailing weather and grid conditions permitting.
• Electricity sales prices: the prices stipulated in the purchase and sales agreements signed have been used, where applicable. For unsold production, futures prices of the markets in which the IBERDROLA Group operates have been used. Existing support mechanisms have been taken into consideration in all cases.
• Investment: the Company has relied on the best information available on the facilities expected to be commissioned in the coming years, based on the price stipulated in the wind turbine purchase agreements signed with different suppliers, as well as the technical and financial capacity of the IBERDROLA Group to successfully complete the projects concerned.
• Operating and maintenance costs: the prices set in land leases and maintenance agreements for the useful life of the facilities were used.
• c) Forecast period and nominal growth rate:

The table below summarises the forecast period of future cash flows and the nominal growth rate (g) used to extrapolate these projections beyond the forecast period for the different groups of cash-generating units.

Transmission and distribution of	Life	-	Life	-
electricity	concession		concession
Renewable energies	Useful life	-	Useful life	-

d) Discount rate:

The discount rate calculation methodology used by IBERDROLA was to take the time value of money or risk-free rate of each market and add to that the specific risks of the asset or risk premium of the asset or business in question.

The risk-free rate is effectively that of the 10-year Treasury bond in the market in question, which must have sufficient depth and solvency. For countries whose economies or currencies have insufficient depth and solvency, country risk and currency risk are estimated and the total of all these components is assimilated to the cost of funding without the risk spread of the asset.

The asset risk premium is a product of the specific risks of the asset. Estimated betas are used to calculate the risk premium, based on comparable peer companies engaged in the same core activity.

The following pre-tax discount rates are used in the impairment tests for the different groups of cash-generating units:

sin dato	Rates – 2024	Rates – 2023
United States	sin dato	sin dato
Transmission and distribution of electricity and gas	5.94 %	5.46 %
Onshore/offshore renewable energies	6.67% / 7.60%	6.19% / 7.17%
Brazil	sin dato	sin dato
Generation and retail supply of electricity	15.67 %	15.21 %
Transmission and distribution of electricity	13.74 %	13.64 %
Renewable energies	14.48 %	14.34 %

After analysing the recoverability of the stake held in NEOENERGIA and the investment in the direct stake held in Avangrid, IBERDROLA concluded that no write-down was necessary at 31 December 2024. In the case of AVANGRID, and following the change made to its future business plans (focusing more heavily on grids and slowing the pace in renewables), the lower value of its renewable assets was cushioned by the higher value of grid assets.

11. Equity

11.1. Registered capital

Changes in 2024 and 2023 in the different items of share capital of IBERDROLA are as follows:

sin dato	Date of filing at the Commercial Registry	% Capital	Number of shares	Face value	Euros

Balance at 31.12.2024		sin dato	6,364,251,000	0.75	4,773,188,250

The scrip issues carried out in 2024 and 2023 correspond to the different runs of the Iberdrola Retribución Flexible optional dividend system approved by the shareholders at the General Shareholders' Meeting. Accordingly, shareholders were free to choose between:

• receiving their remuneration in newly-issued scrip shares;
• transferring some or all of their free-of-charge allocation rights on the market; or
• receiving their remuneration in cash, through delivery of an amount on account of the dividend for the year.

The same characteristics have been maintained for the second application of the Iberdrola Retribución Flexible optional dividend system which IBERDROLA's Board of Directors will submit to the shareholders at the General Shareholders' Meeting for approval (Note 3).

Additionally, on 3 July 2023 and 1 July 2024, it was resolved to reduce capital through the redemption of treasury shares. These resolutions were approved by the shareholders at their General Meetings held on 28 April 2023 and 17 May 2024, respectively.

The shareholders acting at the General Shareholders' Meeting held on 17 May 2024 approved, under item 10 of the agenda, the engagement dividend in the general meeting and its payment to all shareholders entitled to participate in the meeting (i.e. with shares registered in their name on 10 May), having fulfilled all conditions to which payment of the dividend was subject, i.e. the approval of the dividend itself (under item 10 of the agenda), and that a quorum of 70% of share capital was reached. The dividend amounted to EUR 31 million (EUR 0.005 gross per share) and was paid on 21 May 2024.

There were no changes to IBERDROLA's share capital other than those resulting from the transactions described above. There are no claims on IBERDROLA's share capital other than those established by the Spanish Companies Act (Ley de Sociedades de Capital).

IBERDROLA shares are listed on the four Spanish stock exchanges and traded on the Continuous Market. The company also has an American Depositary Receipt (ADR) programme whose depositary is Bank of New York Mellon. The subsidiary Neoenergia is listed in the Brazilian stock exchange. IBERDROLA is also on more than 65 international stock exchanges, such as the Dow Jones EuroStoxx 50, which is made up of the 50 most significant equities in the eurozone, or the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, which features companies with the best sustainability profile.

Major shareholders

Since IBERDROLA's shares are represented by the book-entry system, the exact stakes held by its shareholders are not known. The table below summarises major direct and indirect shareholdings in the share capital of IBERDROLA at 31 December 2024 and 2023, as well as the holdings of financial instruments disclosed by the owners of these stakes in compliance with Royal Decree 1362/2007 of 19 October. This information is based on filings by the owners of the shares in the official registers of the Spanish National Securities Market Commission or on the company's financial statements or press releases, and it is presented in the 2024 IBERDROLA Group's Annual Corporate Governance Report.

In accordance with Section 23.1 of Royal Decree 1362/2007 of 19 October, enacting the Securities Market Act 24/1988 of 28 July, in relation to transparency requirements regarding information on issuers whose securities are admitted to trading on an official secondary market or other regulated market in the European Union, a shareholder who holds at least 3% of the voting rights is considered to hold a significant holding.

The direct or indirect holders of voting rights exceeding 3% of share capital as at 31 December 2024 and 2023 are as follows:

	% of voting rights 2024
Holder	% of voting rights attributable to shares			% of voting rights through	% of total

The information provided on significant shareholdings is based on the disclosures made by their holders to the Spanish National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) and/or to the Company itself. Specifically, the percentages held by BlackRock, Inc. have been calculated on the basis of the voting rights reported in its last notification to the CNMV and the total number of voting rights of IBERDROLA at year-end 2024.

On 4 December 2024, Norges Bank announced that its stake had fallen below 3% to reach 2.934% of share capital. According to communications made since then, its stake did not reach the 3% threshold at year-end either.

Powers delegated by the General Shareholders' Meeting

At the General Shareholders' Meeting held on 2 April 2020, the shareholders resolved under items twenty-two and twenty-three on the agenda to delegate powers to the Board of Directors, with express authority to sub-delegate, for a period of five years, to:

• increase share capital in the terms and to the limits stipulated in Article 297.1 b) of the Spanish Companies Act (Ley de Sociedades de Capital), with authorisation to exclude preferential subscription rights, and
• issue debentures and bonds exchangeable for shares in the Company or in any other company and/or convertible into shares of the Company, as well as warrants (options to subscribe for new shares in the Company or to acquire existing shares in the Company or in any other company), subject to a maximum limit of EUR 5,000 million. This authorisation includes further powers to: (i) set the terms and conditions and forms of the conversion, exchange or exercise; (ii) increase capital to the extent necessary to meet the conversion requests; and (iii) exclude limited pre-emptive rights in relation to the issues.

Both authorisations have an aggregate limit equal to a maximum nominal amount of 20% of the share capital.

11.2. Share premium

The share premium amounted to EUR 13,777 million at 31 December 2024. The Consolidated Text of the Spanish Companies Act expressly permits the use of the share premium balance to increase capital and establishes no specific restrictions as to its use.

11.3. Legal reserve

Under the Consolidated Text of the Spanish Companies Act, 10% of profit for each year must be transferred to the legal reserve until the balance of this reserve reaches at least 20% of the share capital.

The legal reserve, amounting to EUR 969 million, may be used to increase capital provided that the remaining reserve balance does not fall below 10% of the increased amount of capital. Otherwise, until the legal reserve exceeds 20% of share capital, it can only be used to offset losses, provided that sufficient other reserves are not available for this purpose.

11.4. Redeemed capital reserve

In 2024, a capital reduction was effected through the cancellation of treasury shares, thus lowering share capital by EUR 137 million and voluntary reserves and retained earnings by EUR 2,072 million, further to the resolution approved by shareholders at the General Shareholders' Meeting held on 17 May 2024.

In accordance with Section 335.c of the Consolidated Text of the Spanish Companies Act, IBERDROLA has a restricted "Redeemed capital reserve" of EUR 1,782 million, equivalent to the par value of the reduced share capital.

11.5. Treasury shares

The Company buys and sells treasury shares in accordance with the prevailing law and the resolutions of the General Shareholders' Meeting. Such transactions include purchases and sales of IBERDROLA shares and derivatives thereon.

At 31 December 2024 and 2023 the balances of the various instruments are as follows (in millions of euros):

Total	179	184

a) Defined benefit plans and other non-current employee benefits

The IBERDROLA Group's main commitments to providing defined benefits for its employees, in addition to their Social Security benefits, are as follows:

• Employees subject to IBERDROLA's Collective Labour Agreement who retired before 9 October 1996 are covered by a defined benefit retirement pension scheme, the actuarial value of which was fully externalised at 31 December 2024 and 2023.

IBERDROLA has no liability of any kind for this segment of employees and has no claim on any potential excess generated in the assets of this plan above and beyond the defined benefits.

• Also, in relation to serving employees and employees who have retired after 1996 and are subject to IBERDROLA's Collective Bargaining Agreement and members/beneficiaries of the IBERDROLA Pension Plan, risk benefits (e.g. widowhood, permanent disability or orphanhood) which guarantee a defined benefit at the time the event giving rise to such benefits occurs, are instrumented through a multi-year insurance policy. The guaranteed benefit consists of the difference between the present actuarial value of the above mentioned defined benefit at the time of the event and the member's vested rights at the time of the event, if the latter were lower. The premiums on the aforementioned insurance policy for 2024 and 2023 are recognised under "Personnel expenses" in the income statement and came to less than one million euros in 2024 and to EUR 1 million in 2023 (Note 18.2).
• IBERDROLA also maintains a provision to cover certain commitments with its employees beyond those indicated above. These further commitments are covered by internal funds linked to social benefits, consisting mainly of free electricity supply, with an annual consumption limit, for retired employees and other long-term benefits, primarily consisting of a long-service bonus for active employees at 10, 20 and 30 years of service.

Changes in provisions for the commitments described in the preceding section in 2024 and 2023 are as follows (in millions of euros):

sin dato	Electricity tariff	Length of service bonus
Balance at 01.01.2023	130	6

	3.04 %	1.00 %	segment

b) Defined contribution plans

Serving employees of IBERDROLA and employees who retired after 9 October 1996, who are beneficiaries under the IBERDROLA pension plan with joint sponsors, are covered by an occupational, defined-contribution retirement pension system independent of the Social Security system.

In accordance with this system and IBERDROLA's Collective Bargaining Agreement, the periodic contribution to be made is calculated as a percentage of the annual pensionable salary of each employee, except for employees joining the Company after 9 October 1996, who are subject from 1 January 2024 to a contributory system whereby the Company pays 75% and the employee 25% (from 1 January 2023, 72.5% paid by the Company and 27.5% by the employee). For those hired after 20 July 2015, the company pays 1/3 and the employee 2/3 of the total contribution, until the date on which the employee joins the Base Assessment Salary (BAS), whereupon the same criterion as for employees joining after 9 October 1996 will apply. The Company finances these contributions for all of its current employees.

IBERDROLA's contributions in 2024 and 2023 were EUR 4 million and EUR 3 million, respectively, and are recognised under "Personnel expenses" in the income statement (Note 18.2).

c) Restructuring plans

Given the interest shown by some employees in requesting early retirement, IBERDROLA has offered them mutually agreed termination of the employment relationship through individual contract termination agreements.

At 31 December 2024 and 2023, provisions in this regard pertain to the following restructuring plans (in millions of euros):

	31.12.2024		31.12.2023
sin dato	Provisions	No. of contracts	Provisions	No. of contracts

The discount to present value of the provisions is charged to the "Finance expense" heading in the income statement (Note 18.5).

Changes in provisions for the commitments described in the preceding section in 2024 and 2023 are as follows (in millions of euros):

The breakdown by maturity of future unaccrued interest payment commitments (excluding financial leases, see Note 8) at 31 December 2024 and 2023, after factoring in the effect of exchange rate and interest rate hedges and considering that the prevailing interest rates and exchange rates remain constant through to maturity, is as follows:

sin dato	2025	2026	2027	2028	2029	2030 and beyond	Total
Pounds sterling	2	1	0	0	0	0	3
Total	2	1	0	0	0	0	3

Pounds sterling	3	2	1	0	0	0	6
Total	3	2	1	0	0	0	6

The loans outstanding at 31 December 2024 and 2023 accrue a weighted average annual interest rate of 1.77% and 1.79%, respectively, once adjusted for the corresponding hedges.

At 31 December 2024 and 2023, IBERDROLA was fully current on all its financial debt payments. None of the amounts in the table above matured prior to 31 December 2024. The terms of the IBERDROLA's borrowings include the usual covenants applied to such agreements.

In relation to covenants regarding credit ratings, IBERDROLA's funding from the European Investment Bank (EIB) amounted to EUR 96 million and EUR 131 million at 31 December 2024 and 2023, respectively. This funding may need to be renegotiated in the event of a significant rating downgrade, possibly to bring the price in line with other financing arranged with the EIB that does not include such covenants. Moreover, these transactions, together with the existing syndicated loan of EUR 127 million, are likely to be declared due and payable in advance or require additional guarantees in the event of a change of control, unless the EIB or lender in question does not consider the change to be detrimental to its interests.

At the date of authorisation for issue of these financial statements, IBERDROLA was not in breach of its financial obligations or any kind of obligation that could trigger early repayment of its financial commitments. IBERDROLA considers that the covenant clauses will have no effect on the classification of borrowings as current or non-current in the statement of financial position.

15. Derivatives

The maturity schedule of the notional amounts of derivative instruments arranged by IBERDROLA and outstanding at 31 December 2024 is as follows (in millions of euros):

The information presented in the table above includes notional amounts of derivative financial instruments arranged in absolute terms (without offsetting assets and liabilities or purchase and sale positions) and, therefore, which do not involve a risk assumed by IBERDROLA since this amount only records the basis on which the calculations to settle the derivative are made.

The nominal value of the liabilities for which foreign exchange hedges have been arranged is as follows:

	2024
Millions of	US dollars	Pounds sterling
Type of hedge	sin dato	sin dato
Fair value	600	0
Cash flows	364	0

sin dato	2023
Millions of	US dollars	Pounds sterling
Type of hedge	sin dato	sin dato
Fair value	600	325
Cash flows	364	0

IBERDROLA also engages in interest rate hedging transactions as part of its risk management policy. The purpose of these transactions is to offset the effect that fluctuations in interest rates could have on future cash flows from loans and borrowings with floating rates of interest and on the fair value of fixed-rate loans and borrowings.

At 31 December 2024 and 2023, there were no financial liabilities subject to interest rate hedging.

16. Information on average payment period to suppliers. Third Additional Provision – "Reporting Requirement" of Law 15/2010 of 5 July

The required information for 2024 and 2023 breaks down as follows (in millions of euros):

Number of days	2024	2023
Average payment period to suppliers	20	21
Paid transactions ratio	19	21
Outstanding transactions ratio	34	22

sin dato	2024	2023
Total payments made	426	345
Total payments due	21	23

Information on invoices paid in a period shorter than the maximum period set out in Law 15/2010 is as follows:

sin dato	2024	2023
Monetary volume in thousands of euros and millions of euros paid within the maximum period established	412	337
Percentage of total monetary amount of payments to suppliers	96.6 %	97.7 %
Number of invoices paid within the maximum period established	34,751	21,678
Percentage of total number of invoices paid to suppliers	98.5 %	97.0 %

The information shown in the above tables has been prepared in accordance with Law 15/2010 of 5 July, amending Law 3/2004 of 29 December, establishing measures to combat late payments in commercial operations; in accordance with Law 18/2022 of 28 September, on the creation and growth of companies; and in accordance with the Resolution of 29 January 2016 of the Instituto de Contabilidad y Auditoría de Cuentas (Spanish Institute of Accounting and Auditing) on the information to be included in the Notes to the financial statements in relation to late payments to suppliers in commercial transactions.

This information has been drawn up on the basis of the following specifications:

• Ratio of paid operations: amount in days of the ratio between the sum of the products of each of the transactions paid by the number of payment days, and the total amount of payments made during the year.
• Ratio of outstanding payment operations: amount in days of the ratio between the sum of the products of each of the outstanding payment transactions by the number of unpaid days, and the total amount of outstanding payments.
• Suppliers: trade payables generated from debts with suppliers of goods or services included in the current liabilities heading of the statement of financial position.
• Property, plant and equipment and finance lease suppliers are excluded from this information.

• Taxes, levies, indemnifications and certain other headings are likewise excluded from this information since they do not qualify as trade transactions.

17. Taxes

17.1. Public entities

The breakdown of taxes receivable and payable in the statement of financial position at 31 December 2024 and 2023 is as follows (in millions of euros):

17.2. Income tax

IBERDROLA is the parent company of two tax consolidation groups in Spain: group 2/86 for the whole of Spain and group 02415BSC in Biscay. IBERDROLA falls within the second of these groups.

Group 2/86 consists of 95 companies, while group 02415BSC consists of 27 companies.

In previous years, IBERDROLA was involved in a series of corporate restructuring arrangements under the special tax neutrality regime provided for in Chapter VII, Title VII of Spanish Income Tax Law 27/2014 of 27 November. The disclosures required under this law are provided in the Notes to the financial statements for the years when those transactions were carried out.

Taxation in other countries

Other Group companies whose tax residence is outside Spain are taxed based on the income tax rate applicable in their resident jurisdiction. In the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Australia, Italy, Romania and Portugal, eligible companies apply a joint taxation regime. In other jurisdictions, Group companies operating there pay taxes on an individual basis.

Nominal tax rates applicable in the jurisdictions in which the IBERDROLA Group is present are as follows (OECD figures, including the federal/general rate and, as applicable, the state/local rate):

Country	2024	2023	Domestic Top-Up Tax (a)

(a) Jurisdictions with an approved Domestic Top-Up Tax (see section "Minimum Global Taxation – Top-Up Tax" of this note). Those jurisdictions that have an approved Domestic Top-Up Tax but that are not yet included in the OECD's "Qualified Domestic Top-Up Tax" list (published on 13 January 2025) are marked with an asterisk (*).

The reconciliation between the Company's accounting profit and its taxable profit for income tax purposes in 2024 and 2023 is as follows (in millions of euros):

sin dato	2024
sin dato	Income statement Increases/(decreases)	Income and expense recognised directly in equity Increases/(decreases)
Income and expenses for the	5,652	5
year
Income tax	(180)	2
Permanent differences	(6,291)	0
Temporary differences:

Arising in prior years	(26)	(6)
Taxable base (tax result)	(828)	0

sin dato	2023
sin dato	Income statement Increases/(decreases)	Income and expense recognised directly in equity Increases/(decreases)
Income and expenses for the	5,066	(9)

Temporary differences:	sin dato	sin dato
Arising in the year	52	42
Arising in prior years	(31)	(37)
Taxable base (tax result)	(898)	(6)

Permanent differences are due to dividends received (Note 18.1), to changes in valuation adjustments on holdings in group companies and associates for which no deferred tax asset was recognised (Note 10), and to other expenses that do not qualify as tax-deductible.

The most significant temporary differences derive from the tax effect of expenses recognised for pension commitments, and the cost of restructuring plans and other provisions.

17.3. Income tax expense

The breakdown between current and deferred income tax is as follows (in millions of euros):

sin dato	2024
sin dato	Income statement	Income and expense recognised directly in equity

Others (b)	2	4
(Income)/Expense accrued for corporate income taxes	(180)	(180)
Effective tax rate (b+c)/a	24.79 %	24.81 %

(d) In 2023 it relates mainly to the re-assessment of the tax effect of certain intra-group transactions, with no impact on the consolidated Group.

(e) In 2024 and 2023, this item related mainly to income tax paid abroad.

Permanent differences are due to dividends received (Note 18.1), to changes in valuation adjustments on holdings in group companies and associates for which no deferred tax asset was recognised (Note 10), and to other expenses that do not qualify as tax-deductible.

17.5. Minimum Global Tax – Supplementary Tax

As a large multinational group, the IBERDROLA Group is subject to the Global Anti-Base Erosion (GloBE) Model Rules (Pillar Two). These were approved by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)/G20 in the context of the Inclusive Framework on BEPS (Base Erosion and Profit Shifting) on 14 December 2021. The plan was endorsed by, among many others, the EU Member States.

Under these model rules, the Group is required to pay a top-up tax on profits earned in any tax jurisdiction where its effective tax rate, calculated at the jurisdictional level and in accordance with the rules, is lower than a minimum of 15%.

Legislation implementing the model rules has been approved, or has reached an advanced stage of approval, in many jurisdictions in which IBERDROLA is present.

In Spain, the home country of the group's ultimate parent company, Council Directive (EU) 2022/2523 of 15 December 2022 has now been transposed into Spanish law, mainly —and as far as IBERDROLA is concerned— through Law 7/2024 of 20 December and the Provincial Law of the Historical Territory of Bizkaia 4/2004 of 27 December.

According to these regulations, the first year of effectiveness of the new minimum global taxation obligations for the IBERDROLA Group is 2024 and it is subject to the provincial legislation of Bizkaia, although the provisions of Law 7/2024 will apply on an interim basis until the final terms of the tax are agreed. The tax self-assessment for this first period must be filed in July 2026.

The Group has made an assessment of the potential impact of the global minimum tax based on its most recent tax returns, its country-by-country report and the financial statements of Group entities. As a result of this valuation, IBERDROLA does not expect a significant economic impact from the application of the model rules. This results from the alternative or simultaneous existence of the following circumstances in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates: an effective tax rate of 15%, either very similar or higher; substantial presence of personnel and property, plant and equipment implying the exclusion of income subject to minimum taxation; or insignificant amounts of income and profits. As a result, the 2024 income statement includes no current tax expense related to this regulation.

The "Income tax" section of this note includes a list of the jurisdictions in which IBERDROLA has a presence, indicating in each case whether they have an approved Domestic Top-Up Tax.

There is currently widespread uncertainty about the impact of the GloBE rules on the deferred tax assets and liabilities of the entities subject to them. Therefore, the First Consultation of BOICAC 136 of the Spanish Institute of Accounting and Auditing (ICAC) to accommodate it to the model rules contemplates a temporary exception to the new requirements in this respect. IBERDROLA is applying this temporary exception to the 2024 financial statements.

17.6. Administrative proceedings

IBERDROLA includes among its principles the strengthening of the relationship with the tax authorities, based on respect for the law, loyalty, trust, professionalism, collaboration, reciprocity and good faith. However, legitimate disputes may arise in relation to the interpretation of tax regulations. Therefore, when such disputes do arise, IBERDROLA conducts its actions before the authorities based on a cooperative relationship, in accordance with the principles of transparency and mutual trust.

All of IBERDROLA's actions have been analysed by its internal and external advisers, both for this year and for preceding years, and they have found that these actions have been carried out in accordance with the law and are based on a reasonable interpretation of tax law. The occurrence of contingent liabilities has also been subject to analysis. IBERDROLA generally posts provisions for tax litigation when the risk of it being detrimental to its interests is probable, and posts no provisions when the risk is possible or remote.

On 25 January 2024, the Tax and Customs Control Unit of the Central Office for Large Taxpayers attached to the Spanish State Tax Agency (AEAT) notified IBERDROLA, S.A. of the initiation of inspection and investigation proceedings in respect of the Temporary Energy Levy for 2023, in the company's capacity as principal operator in the energy sector in accordance with the resolutions of the National Commission for Markets and Competition of 10 December 2020, 16 December 2021 and 9 June 2020, as referred to in Article 1(1) of Spanish Law 38/2022.

In the course of this inspection, IBERDROLA requested that certain income be excluded from the tax base, mainly expenses incurred by the distribution companies' retail suppliers to be passed on to the end customer, equivalent to those arising from the regulated activities exempt from the tax. It also asked that the self-assessments filed in relation to this tax be rectified, considering that the rule that created and that regulates the levy is unconstitutional and also happens to infringe EU Law, leading to a refund of all amounts paid and the corresponding late payment interest.

In January 2025, the Company was notified of the settlement agreement confirming the company's non-conformity document filed in July 2024, accepting the request for exclusion of the aforementioned income from the tax base, and instructing the refund of the amounts paid, along with the corresponding interest. However, it rejected the request for total rectification, on the grounds that the AEAT has no jurisdiction to assess whether the regulation creating the levy infringes domestic and/or EU law, or to submit a motion of unconstitutionality before the Constitutional Court or obtain a preliminary ruling from the High Court of Justice in this regard.

IBERDROLA has submitted a request for rectification of the self-assessments filed and paid in relation to the levy for financial year 2024 (analogous to the one filed for 2023), and is currently awaiting a response.

Meanwhile, in early May 2024, Iberdrola Energía España S.A. was notified of the commencement of general inspection and investigation proceedings for corporate income tax for the years 2018 to 2020 in respect of Tax Group 2/86, of which the company is the representative and Iberdrola, S.A. the parent.

On that same date, Iberdrola, S.A. was also notified of the initiation of general inspection and investigation proceedings for Value Added Tax for the years 2018 to 2020 in respect of Business Group 0220/08 for VAT purposes 0220/08, in its capacity as the representative and parent company of that tax group.

At the end of 2024, both procedures were still ongoing.

The IBERDROLA Group's directors and their tax consultants consider that the current inspection process will not give rise to further material liabilities for the IBERDROLA Group beyond those already recognised at 31 December 2024.

17.7. Tax litigation

In June 2020, IBERDROLA was notified of the decisions made by the Central Tax Appeals Board (TEAC) concerning the claims related to the assessments that were signed in protest by IBERDROLA in 2016. These claims pertain to the general inspection proceeding carried out on the tax consolidation group in the common territory (no. 2/86) for financial years 2008 to 2011.

As regards VAT, the TEAC ruling was favourable to the interests of IBERDROLA (thus annulling the assessments and settlements carried out by the inspectors), while the decisions on income tax were unfavourable.

On 7 July 2020 IBERDROLA appealed these rulings to the Spanish National High Court (Audiencia Nacional).

The main adjustments included in the settlement agreements resulting from contested tax assessments relate to the quantification of goodwill, subject to tax amortisation and depreciation, for the acquisition of SCOTTISH POWER, the elimination of the exemption applicable to SCOTTISH POWER's dividends received, as the tax office considers that this exemption is incompatible with valuation adjustments for net investment hedges, differences in tax consolidation criteria and the possible existence of the circumstances set out in Section 15.1 of Spain's General Tax Law in relation to a debtor-swap operation in a number of debt issues.

In relation to the latter case, on 28 November 2024 the National Court (Audiencia Nacional) handed down a judgment favourable to Iberdrola's interests, annulling the AEAT's referral to the dispute procedure and related settlements and upholding the company's appeal in its entirety. The AEAT has appealed the ruling before the Supreme Court.

The other proceedings being pursued before the Audiencia Nacional have been suspended until a final decision has been delivered in the proceedings currently being heard by the Court of Justice of the European Union in relation to the amortisation of financial goodwill, as the Spanish Audiencia Nacional believes that these proceedings could have a pre-trial effect in relation to certain matters under discussion.

Additionally, in December 2020 IBERDROLA was notified of the rulings of the TEAC on the appeals lodged in relation to the income tax assessments signed in protest arising from the limited tax inspection of the years 2012 to 2014. The dispute with the public administration related to the applicability of the temporary allocation criteria established in numerous Supreme Court decisions regarding income received by the Group as a result of payments made pursuant to rules that are contrary to law.

The December 2020 ruling partially upheld IBERDROLA's claims, accepting its criteria insofar as the taxes declared to be unconstitutional are concerned. On 25 January 2021, IBERDROLA filed an appeal for judicial review before the Audiencia Nacional on the other matters in dispute. All claims and arguments were submitted in due course during 2021 and the case is now awaiting a hearing date ahead of a final ruling on the matter.

In relation to the same issue, on 6 September 2021 IBERDROLA filed a claim with the TEAC against the enforcement by the technical department of the central large taxpayers' office of the decision of that court partially upholding the aforementioned assessment. That body did not limit itself to acknowledging the effects of that assessment in the years affected (2012 to 2014), but extended its effects to other prior years. These years had already been the subject of a general audit. Moreover, in some of the cases there was a final judgment and therefore the effect of res judicata. On 3 January 2024, IBERDROLA was notified of the TEAC's decision rejecting the claims of the Company, which then lodged a contentious-administrative appeal with the Audiencia Nacional and filed the lawsuit in June 2024.

Meanwhile, in December 2021 and July 2022, tax appeals were filed with the Central Tax Appeals Board (TEAC) against the settlement agreements upholding the certificate signed in protest in relation to corporate income tax for Tax Group 2/86, in relation to the financial years 2012 to 2014 and 2015 to 2020, respectively. The adjustments in dispute are substantially similar to those disputed in relation to the years 2008 to 2011. On 5 June 2024, the TEAC's served notice of its decision in relation to the claim filed in relation to financial years 2012 to 2014, partially upholding the group's claims, accepting the deductibility of the directors' remuneration but rejecting the other issues. The company has since lodged a tax appeal before the Audiencia Nacional, and the lawsuit was filed in November 2024. The claim relating to the financial years 2015 to 2020 is still awaiting a decision by the court, with the relevant submissions having been presented in the second quarter of 2023.

With regard to Value Added Tax, in July 2022 tax appeals were filed with the TEAC against the settlement agreement confirming the report signed in protest initiated against Iberdrola, S.A, as representative of the Tax Group 0220/08BVA, in relation to the financial years 2015 to 2017, following certain adjustments made by the AEAT arising from the inclusion in the denominator of the pro-rata amount of the capital gains arising on portfolio transfers or on corporate restructurings. The case is currently awaiting a decision, with the corresponding submissions having been presented in the last quarter of 2022 and further submissions made in the first quarter of 2023.

In January 2024, Iberdrola S.A., as the representative and parent of Tax Group 0220/08BVA for VAT purposes, was notified of the settlement agreement initiated by the Tax and Customs Control Unit attached to the Central Delegation of Large Taxpayers of the AEAT, marking an end to the partial inspection proceedings for 2018 and 2019, and confirming, in all its terms, the report signed in protest initiated against the group in March 2023. The matters in dispute are substantially similar to those disputed in relation to VAT for the years 2015 to 2017. Settlement agreements have also been initiated in relation to corporate income tax for those years, given the effect that the proposed VAT adjustments had on this tax. Tax appeals have been lodged against all of them before the TEAC. They were still awaiting a decision at yearend 2024.

Lastly, and with respect to significant tax litigation for IBERDROLA, on 21 February 2023, the Association of Electrical Energy Companies (AELEC) lodged an appeal against Ministry Order HFP/94/2023, approving self-assessment forms of the new temporary energy tax created by Law 38/2022. On 23 February 2023, IBERDROLA also filed a judicial review appeal against the same Ministerial Order, in similar terms to the one filed by AELEC.

This law imposes a temporary energy levy for the years 2023 and 2024 on those entities qualifying as the main operator in the energy sectors, with the legal status of a non-tax public levy.

The amount payable is calculated by applying a percentage of 1.2% to the net turnover generated by the activity in Spain in the calendar year preceding the year in which the obligation arises. The amount of the levy paid by IBERDROLA in 2023 amounted to EUR 213 million (Note 18.4), although, as a result of the inspection proceedings disclosed in Note 17.6, a rebate of EUR 33 million plus the corresponding late payment interest has been instructed. The income arising from this rebate reduces the actual expense for this tax in financial year 2024.

The amount of the levy paid by IBERDROLA in 2024 came to EUR 132 million (Note 18.4), having excluded from the tax base for that year the income for 2023 acknowledged to be non-eligible for such purposes during the inspection proceedings referred to in the preceding paragraph.

The appeal for judicial review filed by AELEC and by IBERDROLA and which are currently pending resolution are based on defects in the ordinary legality of the Ministerial Order under appeal as well as on defects of unconstitutionality and infringement of Council Regulation (EU) 2022/1854 of 6 October 2022, found in Law 38/2022, which creates the levy.

The IBERDROLA Group's directors and their tax consultants consider that the current inspection process will not give rise to further material liabilities for the IBERDROLA Group beyond those already recognised at 31 December 2024.

17.8. Other

Update of the financial goodwill situation (Section 12.5 of the Consolidated Text of the Corporate Income Tax Act (Texto Refundido de la Ley del Impuesto sobre Sociedades) (TRLIS)):

In 2017, the Spanish authorities applied the aid and grants recoupment procedure established in the General Tax Act, thus recouping from the IBERDROLA Group, in accordance with Section 12.5 of the TRLIS, the sum of EUR 665 million (EUR 576 million in principal and EUR 89 million in late payment interest) relating to the years 2002 to 2015. IBERDROLA settled the required amount by (i) offsetting part of it against the EUR 363 million received under the 2016 income tax rebate, and (ii) paying EUR 302 million in February 2018. All of the foregoing by virtue of Decision Three of the European Commission.

In May 2021, IBERDROLA was notified of a settlement decision under the aid and grants reimbursement procedure for the years 2016 to 2018 in the amount of EUR 13 million, which the Company paid on 2 July 2021.

These amounts, along with additional default interest, in the proportion corresponding to Iberdrola, S.A., are shown under "Non-current trade and other receivables" in the statement of financial position.

Moreover, the application of the incentive provided for in Section 12.5 of the TRLIS generated a taxable temporary difference, resulting in the subsequent recognition of the deferred tax liability. Therefore, if the outcome is ultimately contrary to the Company's interests (which we consider unlikely based on the information currently available), the financial impact would be substantially mitigated.

The Judgment of the General Court of the European Union (GCEU) of 27 September 2023 (joined cases T-256/15 and T-260/15) rendered null and void Commission Decision (EU) 2015/314 of the European Commission of 15 October 2014 (Third Decision) by upholding all the arguments submitted by the entities concerned, among them the Iberdrola Group.

Although this judgment of the GCEU has been appealed by the European Commission, it is enforceable and binding from the date of its pronouncement. The recovery order contained in the Third Decision is without effect, with no amount having been recovered to date. In any event, the Iberdrola Group and its internal and external advisors consider that no further risks should arise in relation to the application of the financial goodwill, and that the sums recovered by the tax agency should be refunded, as the payment made by the Group was undue.

Temporary energy levy (Note 17.7)

On 28 December, Law 38/2022 of 27 December was published, establishing temporary energy levies payable by credit institutions and financial credit establishments, creating the temporary solidarity tax on large fortunes, and amending certain tax rules.

This law imposes a temporary energy levy on entities that qualify as main operator in the energy sectors during the years 2023 and 2024. The new levy is legally classified as a nontax public levy on revenue.

The obligation to pay runs from the first day of the calendar year, with full payment to be made within the first 20 calendar days of September of that same year, although an advance payment of 50% must be made in February.

The amount payable is calculated by applying a percentage of 1.2% to the net turnover generated from the activity carried out in Spain in the calendar year preceding the year in which the obligation arose.

Royal Decree-Law 10/2024, of 23 December, created a new temporary energy levy for the year 2025 that had the same nature and structure as that in force for 2023 and 2024 (although it also included a tax incentive that allowed the amount of the temporary levy to be reduced on condition that an unavailable reserve was set aside for certain strategic investments). However, this Royal Decree-Law was recently repealed by Congress of Deputies on 22 January 2025, meaning that the Royal Decree-Law is no longer in force.

In 2024, there were 6 IBERDROLA employees with a disability greater than or equal to 33 per cent (5 employees in 2023).

Legislative Royal Decree 1/2013 of 29 November, enacting the Revised Text of the General Law on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and their Social Inclusion, requires public and private companies employing 50 or more workers to have jobs reserved for people with disabilities for at least 2% of their workforce.

As IBERDROLA does not meet this reserve, it has opted for a number of alternative measures established by the Royal Decree 364/2005 of 8 April which, on an exceptional basis, governs alternative compliance with the reserve in favour of employees with disabilities. The alternative measures that may be applied by corporations to meet the obligation of an employment reserve in favour of employees with disabilities are as follows:

• A corporate or civil contract with a special employment centre, or with a freelancer with a disability, to supply raw materials, machinery, equipment goods or any other kind of merchandise required for normal operation of the business of companies taking up this measure.
• Donations and sponsorships, always in a monetary format, to enable employment insertion activities to be carried out and jobs to be created for people with disabilities, when the organisation benefiting from these actions is a foundation or a publicinterest association the purpose of which is, among other aspects, professional training, employment insertion or the creation of jobs for people with disabilities.
• Creation of a work enclave, after signing the corresponding contract with a special employment centre, in accordance with Royal Decree 290/2004 of 20 February, regulating work enclaves as a means of fostering employment opportunities for people with disabilities.

To fulfil the reserve requirement, IBERDROLA signed contracts with special employment centres to provide services that are ancillary to its usual business in 2024 and 2025. It also made donations to foundations dedicated to vocational training, job placement and job creation for people with disabilities, to help them carry out job placement and job creation activities for the benefit of such individuals.

19. Guarantee commitments with third parties

IBERDROLA and its subsidiaries are required to provide the bank or corporate guarantees associated with the normal management of the company's activities.

IBERDROLA extends guarantees to secure the obligations of subsidiaries of sub-holding company Iberdrola Energía Internacional vis-à-vis third parties, thus covering some of their commitments relating to the construction and commissioning of their offshore renewable facilities. It likewise extends guarantees to subsidiaries of sub-holding company Iberdrola España to secure their obligations under gas purchase and sale agreements at the Generation business.

IBERDROLA also secures the obligations of Group companies Iberdrola Finanzas, S.A.U., Iberdrola Finance Ireland, DAC, Iberdrola International, B.V. and Iberdrola Financiación, S.A.U., for their various bond issues and commercial paper, and bank financing and the arrangement of derivatives (ISDA).

IBERDROLA considers that any additional liability beyond those provisioned at 31 December 2024 and 2023 and arising from the guarantees posted at 31 December 2024 and 2023 would not be significant.

In 2016, IBERDROLA disputed tax assessments in relation to income tax for the years 2008 to 2011. IBERDROLA filed the corresponding appeals with the Central Tax Appeals Board, seeking the automatic suspension of the enforcement of the disputed tax settlements by furnishing the necessary bank guarantees.

In June 2020, IBERDROLA was notified of the court's decisions dismissing its claims. Contentious-administrative appeals were subsequently lodged against those decisions before the National Court (filed on 7 July 2020), and which remain in progress to this date, and suspension of enforcement of the settlements and the guarantees posted for that purpose remains in effect for the time being (Note 17.6). In 2022, the audits carried out by the State Tax Agency in relation to the Tax Group's corporate income tax were completed in general for the years 2015 to 2017 and partially in relation to the years 2012 to 2014 and 2018 to 2020. As a result of these audits, IBERDROLA was notified of the settlement agreements confirming the disputed tax decisions lodged in relation to each and every one of the fiscal years, thus adjusting and putting right the same substantive issues as in financial years 2008 to 2011, although, as regards these periods, the settlements resulted in amounts to be returned to the company. IBERDROLA requested, and the authorities agreed, to partially net the refunds recognised in its favour in relation to the years 2012 to 2020 against the debts suspended due to the posting of a bank guarantee relating to fiscal years 2008 to 2011, thus reducing the amount of such debts and reducing the purpose of the guarantees posted as collateral, which continue to be held by the tax authorities.

In June 2024, the Central Tax Appeal Board's served notice of its decision on the claim filed by IBERDROLA in connection with the settlement relating to financial years 2012 to 2014, partially upholding the company's claims. To enforce this decision, further refunds have been recognised in the Company's favour, and the partial offsetting of the debts suspended due to the posting of a bank guarantee relating to financial years 2008 to 2011 has also been requested and agreed, once again reducing the amount of the debts owed and therefore reducing the amount covered by the collateral already posted as security, which remains in the hands of the tax office.

20. Remuneration of the Board of Directors

At the proposal of the Remuneration Committee, the Board of Directors agreed that the bylaw mandated allocation for 2024 would be EUR 49.1 million, which has been recognised under "Personnel expenses" in the income statement (Note 18.2); the same amount as in the previous eight financial years.

In addition, the aforementioned allocation has covered other expenses related to the Board of Directors:

The unused portion of the bylaw allocation for the 2024 financial year is EUR 0.495 million.

21. Remuneration payable to executive officers

Executive officers who are also directors

The Board of Directors resolved not to change the amount of the annual fixed remuneration of the executive Chairman for 2024, which therefore remains at €2.25 million. It also decided to maintain in 2024 the existing cap on annual variable remuneration at EUR 3.250 million. Fixed and variable annual remuneration have not changed at all over the past 14 years.

The Board of Directors agreed that the fixed annual remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer would be EUR 1 million in 2024, and it set a cap on his annual variable remuneration of EUR 1.5 million.

In both cases, the annual variable remuneration will be paid, if and to the extent agreed, in 2025, based on the targets set.

The remuneration paid to and accrued by the Executive Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer during financial years 2024 and 2023 are as follows (in millions of euros):

Millions of euros	Salaries	Short-term variable remuneration (1)	Remuneration in kind	Total 2024	Total 2023
José Ignacio Sánchez Galán	2.250	3.250	0.169	5.669	5.674
Armando Martínez Martínez (2)	1.000	1.496	0.373	2.869	1.545
Total	3.250	4.746	0.542	8.538	7.219

(1) Dividends received in 2024.

(2) The amount shown for financial year 2023 relates to the amount accrued since his appointment on 25 October 2022.

Article 49.4 of the By-Laws states that the remuneration of the executive Chairman and of the Chief Executive Officer may also consist of the delivery of shares.

At the General Shareholders' Meeting held on 2 April 2020, shareholders approved the 2020- 2022 Strategic Bonus for executive directors, executive personnel and other Group employees, subject to a maximum of 300 beneficiaries, as a long-term incentive pegged to the Company's performance in relation to certain key parameters (Note 12).

The second of the three annual settlements was made in the first quarter of 2024. The executive Chairman received 633,333 shares in Iberdrola and the Chief Executive Officer 80,000 shares, which were allocated to him in 2020 when he was a member of senior management.

The 2023-2025 Strategic Bonus was approved at the General Shareholders' Meeting held on 28 April 2023, as disclosed in Note 12.

The executive Chairman has sat on the boards of directors of companies that are not wholly owned by IBERDROLA, either directly or indirectly, receiving EUR 0.566 million and EUR 0.582 million, respectively, from such companies in 2024 and 2023.

Other executive officers

Under the Group's governance structure, the businesses are effectively run in the different countries or territories by the country or territory subholding and head of business companies, or by their subsidiaries. At 31 December 2024, senior management consisted of four members (same number as in 2023), in addition to the executive Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer.

Senior management comprises those members of the Company's management who perform global functions —though not support, advisory or staffing functions— and who report directly to the Board of Directors, its Chairman or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, as well as any other person recognised as such by the Board of Directors, at the proposal of its Chairman, and, invariably, the head of Internal Audit and Risks.

Senior management costs amounted to EUR 5.013 million and EUR 5.242 million in financial years 2024 and 2023, respectively, and are recognised under "Personnel expenses" in the income statement.

The following is a breakdown, in millions of euros, of remuneration and other benefits for financial years 2024 and 2023:

22. Information regarding compliance with Section 229 of the Spanish Companies Act

As established in Section 229 of the Spanish Companies Act (Ley de Sociedades de Capital), as introduced by Royal Decree-Law 1/2010 of 2 July 2010, and in Law 31/2014 of 3 December 2014, amending the Spanish Companies Act to improve corporate governance, set forth below are the conflicts of interest that the directors encountered during the period.

The Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer left the room during discussions on all resolutions relating to their contracts, including their respective compensation.

Mr Sagredo Ormaza did not take part in the deliberations on the resolutions concerning Kutxabank, S.A., specifically as regards the hiring of Norbolsa Sociedad de Valores, S.A. as agent in relation to the Iberdrola Retribución Flexible optional dividend system. Ms. García Tejerina did not partake in the discussions concerning the sale of a joint venture by an Iberdrola Group company to a company in which she holds a non-controlling interest.

Iberdrola Retribución Flexible

On 8 January 2025, the following terms governing the second scrip issue (Iberdrola Retribución Flexible) were approved by shareholders at the General Shareholders' Meeting of IBERDROLA held on 17 May 2024, under item 13 on the agenda:

• The maximum number of shares to be issued under the capital increase is 109,728,465.
• The number of free-of-charge allocation rights required to receive one new share is 58.
• The maximum nominal value of the capital increase is EUR 82,296,349.
• The gross Interim Dividend per share amounts to EUR 0.231.

At the end of the trading period for the free-of-charge allocation rights:

• During the period established for this purpose, the holders of 1,938,270,918 shares in the Company opted to receive the Interim Dividend. Thus, the gross amount paid out under the Interim Dividend was EUR 448 million. As a result, those shareholders expressly waived 1,938,270,918 free-of-charge allocation rights and, therefore, the right to receive 33,418,464 new shares.
• Furthermore, the final number of new common shares each with a par value of EUR 0.75 issued was 76,310.000, yielding a nominal capital increase (under this issue) of EUR 57 million and thus raising IBERDROLA's pre-issue share capital by 1.199%.
• Following this share capital increase, IBERDROLA's share capital amounts to EUR 4,830,420,750, represented by 6,440,561,000 common shares, each with a par value of EUR 0.75 and all fully subscribed for and paid up.
• Following fulfilment of the pertinent legal requirements (especially verification of those requirements by the Spanish National Securities Market Commission), the new shares were admitted for trading on the continuous market of the Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao and Valencia Stock Exchanges, through the Automated Quotation System (Continuous Market), on 1 February 2025. Regular trading of the new shares commenced on 5 February 2025.

Capital increase at Avangrid Inc.

On 14 January 2025, IBERDROLA, as the company's sole shareholder, authorised a capital increase at Avangrid amounting to USD 1,900 million (approximately EUR 1,822 million). The funds needed for the capital contribution were obtained through Iberdrola Financiación. The relevant funds were disbursed on 30 July 2025.

26. Explanation added for the translation to English

Management report – 2024

1. Business performance

IBERDROLA is a holding company and therefore its earnings are chiefly produced by dividends and income from financing granted and services rendered to investees.

2. Significant events in 2024

The most significant transaction of the year was IBERDROLA's acquisition of the remaining 18.5% in AVANGRID. The transaction went ahead after securing the necessary clearance on 23 December 2024, whereupon IBERDROLA became the owner of 100% of AVANGRID's share capital.

2.1 Key figures from the IBERDROLA income statement

In 2024, revenue amounted to EUR 6,794 million, of which EUR 6,302 million related to dividends received from group companies and associates, EUR 23 million to finance income from financing subsidiaries and EUR 469 million to income from services provided to group companies.

Other operating income amounted to EUR 4 million, EUR 2 million more than in the previous year, due to the inclusion of an insurance indemnity amounting to EUR 2 million. Operating expenses amounted to EUR 436 million, EUR 59 million lower than in 2023. Personnel expenses stood at EUR 218 million. Depreciation and amortisation amounted to EUR 62 million. Impairment and disposal of non-current assets was a negative EUR 15 million, due to the valuation adjustments made in respect of investments, as well as an impairment allowance of EUR 54 million at Iberdrola Financiación, S.A.U. and reversal of impairment of EUR 24 million at Iberdrola Financiación, S.A.U. and of EUR 15 million at Scottish Power Overseas Holdings Ltd. All of these items yielded operating profit for the year of EUR 6,077 million.

Net finance expense amounted to EUR 605 million, largely due to debts held with group companies and associates.

Profit/(loss) for the year before tax amounted to EUR 5,472 million, while income tax generated income of EUR 180 million, yielding net profit/(loss) for the year of EUR 5,652 million, versus EUR 5,066 million in 2023.

Notably, two events had a significant impact on the income statement for the period:

• Dividends received from subsidiaries in 2024 were up EUR 473 million on the amount received in 2023, amounting to EUR 6,302 million, compared to EUR 5,829 million received in 2023. A breakdown of dividends received from group companies and associates is provided in Note 10. Changes in dividends received from the country subholding companies compared to the previous year are as follows (in millions of euros):

sin dato	2024	2023	Change
Iberdrola España, S.A.U.	5,666	5,000	666
Avangrid, Inc.	497	512	(15)
Neoenergia, S.A.	5	10	(5)
Iberdrola International, B.V.	0	15	(15)
Iberdrola Energía, S.A.U.	80	0	80
Hidrola I, S.L.U.	54	292	(238)
Total	6,302	5,829	473

• Finance income for 2024 was up EUR 8 million on the previous year, largely due to the following factors: an increase in financial income of EUR 16 million as, together with an improvement in "Change in the fair value of financial instruments" of EUR 19 million, despite an increase in financial expenses of EUR 19 million and the worsening of exchange rate differences of EUR 8 million.

2.2 Statement of financial position

At 31 December 2024, IBERDROLA's statement of financial position showed a working capital deficit (current liabilities exceeding current assets) in the amount of EUR 2,656 million. This deficit is largely due to the existence of current debt with group companies and associates amounting to EUR 1,700 million, and bank borrowings amounting to EUR 1,221 thousand. According to IBERDROLA's directors, this will be offset by the generation of funds from the IBERDROLA Group's businesses and the dividends received from its subsidiaries. In addition, the IBERDROLA Group has committed but undrawn credit facilities in the amount of EUR 15,206 million.

2.3 Compliance with Section 262.1 of the Spanish Companies Act (Ley de Sociedades de Capital) in relation to the average period for payment to suppliers

As set forth in Note 16, the Company's average period for payment to suppliers in financial year 2024 was 20 days, well below the maximum 60-day period prescribed by law.

3. Main risk factors associated with the activities of the company

The companies belonging to the IBERDROLA Group, of which the Company is the parent, are exposed to various inherent risks in the countries, industries and markets in which they operate and the businesses they carry out, which could prevent them from achieving their objectives and successfully pursuing their strategies.

The Company performs its corporate purpose indirectly through the ownership of shares or other equity investments in other companies (country subholding companies, which in turn operate through the parent companies of their respective businesses). Therefore, the Company's main risk factors relate to its investees, as described in the section Main risks and uncertainties of the Management Report attached to the consolidated financial statements of the IBERDROLA Group for 2024. Moreover, Note 5 to the annual financial statements explains financial risks.

The Company has a well-established comprehensive risk management and control system, designed in accordance with international best practices. Detailed information thereon (component parts, taxonomy and agents, among other details) can be found in section 8.1 of the 2024 Annual Corporate Governance Report of Iberdrola, S.A.

4. Research and development activities

Iberdrola is currently a global energy leader thanks to its innovative strategy, which permeates all its business units and areas of activity. It is 20 years ahead of the curve in pursuing the energy transition. Thanks to its ongoing commitment to innovation, Iberdrola has been recognised for the fourth year running as the private utility that invests the most in R&D worldwide, according to the table drawn up by European Commission. This feat has been achieved thanks to the talent, experience and hard work of more than 40,000 people across more than 40 countries.

Innovation is a strategic variable for the Group, as it is through innovation that we guarantee the company's sustainability, efficiency and competitiveness. It also happens to be one of the biggest supporters of start-ups in Europe.

Our vision for R&D is to champion the development of innovative and sustainable technologies that are aligned with the main drivers of transformation within the energy sector: the decarbonisation of generation through the mass integration of renewable energies, the promotion of smart grids and the electrification of demand, mainly in transportation (through electric vehicles), building (through electric heat pumps) and industry. We have also pledged to promote new uses of electricity, such as the production of green hydrogen, which is essential for reducing emissions from high-temperature industrial processes and sectors that are difficult to decarbonise, notably heavy transport, shipping and aviation. This will allow us to achieve an improvement in our processes, operating conditions and the safety of our facilities, all while reducing the environmental impact of our operations.

In 2024, IBERDROLA allocated EUR 39 million into R&D activities.

5. Treasury shares and reduction in share capital

At the General Shareholders' Meeting held on 17 May 2024, the shareholders resolved to expressly authorise the Board of Directors, with powers to sub-delegate pursuant to the provisions of Section 146 of the Spanish Companies Act, to carry out the derivative acquisition of shares of Iberdrola, S.A. on the following terms (the same terms as for the authorisation that was in effect from 13 April 2018 until that date):

• Acquisitions may be carried out directly by the Company, or indirectly through subsidiaries, though not by those that carry out regulated activities pursuant to the provisions of the Spanish Law on the Electricity Sector and the Law on the Hydrocarbon Sector.
• Acquisitions may be made by means of purchase and sale transactions, swaps or any other transaction permitted by law.
• Acquisitions may be made up to the maximum threshold allowed by law (10% of share capital).
• Such acquisitions may not be made at a price higher than the market price or lower than the par value of the shares.
• The authorisation was granted for a period of five years running from approval of the resolution.
• As a result of the acquisition of shares, including those that the Company or the person acting in their own name but on the Company's behalf had previously acquired and held in treasury, the resulting shareholders' equity cannot fall below the amount of the share capital plus the restricted reserves required by law or under the By-Laws.

Shares acquired under the aforementioned authorisation may be disposed of, redeemed, or used for the remuneration systems provided for in the Spanish Companies Act. They may also be used to carry out programmes to promote participation in the Company's capital, such as dividend reinvestment plans, loyalty bonuses or other similar instruments.

Transactions relating to the treasury shares of IBERDROLA in 2024 and 2023 mainly involved the redemption of said shares and their application to employee remuneration systems, as follows:
