To the Shareholders of Endesa, S.A.
We have audited the annual accounts of Endesa, S.A. (the "Company"), which comprise the statement of financial position at 31 December 2022, 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 2022, 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 2.2 to the annual accounts) and, in particular, with the accounting principles and criteria set forth therein.
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 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.
| Impairment of non-current investments in Group companies and associates See notes 4.d.1.2 and 8.1 to the annual accounts |
|||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Key audit matter | How the matter was addressed in our audit | ||||
| At 31 December 2022 the Company has recognised non-current investments in Group companies and associates amounting to Euros 18,926 million. At each year end, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of investments for which there are indications of impairment. The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and the present value of future cash flows from the investment, estimated as its share in the cash flows expected to be generated from both its ordinary activities and its disposal. To estimate the recoverable amount, the Company uses valuation techniques that require management to exercise judgement and make assumptions and estimates. Due to the judgement required and uncertainty associated with these estimates, this has been considered a key audit matter. |
– Analysis of the design and implementation of the key controls related to the process of determining recoverable amount. – Analysis of indicators of impairment of non current investments in Group companies and associates identified by the Company. – Analysis of the consistency of the future cash flows included in the pricing model with the business plans approved by the governing bodies. – Evaluation of the reasonableness of the methodology used to calculate the recoverable amount of investments in Group companies and associates, and the main assumptions considered, with the involvement of our financial valuation specialists. – Evaluation of the sensitivity of the recoverable amount to changes in certain assumptions that can be considered reasonable. – Assessment of whether the disclosures in the annual accounts comply with the requirements of the applicable financial reporting framework. |
Other information solely comprises the 2022 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:
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 2022, and that the content and presentation of the report are in accordance with applicable legislation.
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 and Compliance Committee is responsible for overseeing the preparation and presentation 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:
We communicate with Endesa, S.A.'s Audit and Compliance 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 and Compliance Committee with a statement that we have complied with the applicable ethical requirements, including those regarding independence, and to communicate with them all matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated to the entity's Audit and Compliance Committee, 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.
We have examined the digital file of Endesa, S.A. for 2022 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 Endesa, S.A. are responsible for the presentation of the 2022 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.
The opinion expressed in this report is consistent with our additional report to the Company's Audit and Compliance Committee dated 22 February 2023.

We were appointed as auditor by the shareholders at the ordinary general meeting on 12 April 2019 for a period of three years, from the year ended 31 December 2020.
We were appointed as auditor by the shareholders at the ordinary general meeting on 29 April 2022 for an additional period of three years up until and including the year ended 31 December 2025.

Notes 1 to 22 to the accompanying financial statements are an integral part of the statements of cash flows the years ended 31 December 2022 and 2021.
Endesa, S.A. (hereinafter "the Company") was incorporated with limited liability under Spanish law on 18 November 1944 under the name Empresa Nacional de Electricidad, S.A. and changed its name to Endesa, S.A. pursuant to a resolution adopted by the General Shareholders' Meeting on 25 June 1997. Its registered offices and headquarters are at Calle Ribera del Loira 60, Madrid.
Its corporate purpose is the electricity business in all its various industrial and commercial areas; the exploitation of primary energy resources of all types; the provision of industrial services, particularly in the areas of telecommunications, water and gas and those preliminary or supplementary to the Group's corporate purpose, and the management of the corporate Group, comprising investments in other companies.
The Company carries out its corporate objects in Spain and abroad directly or through its investments in other companies.
To comply with Electricity Sector Law 24/2013, of 26 December, which repealed the previous prevailing Law 54/1997, of 27 November, on the electricity sector, Endesa, S.A. underwent a corporate restructuring to separate its various electricity activities. Since then, Endesa, S.A.'s activity has focused primarily on administration and services for its business group, comprising the investments detailed in these financial statements.
The Company's shares are officially admitted to trading on the Spanish Stock Exchanges.
The Company's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022 were drawn up by the Company's Board of Directors on 22 February 2023 and will be submitted for approval by the General Shareholders' Meeting. They are expected to be approved with no changes. The financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 21 February 2022 and were approved by the General Shareholders' Meeting on 29 April 2022 and filed at the Madrid Mercantile Registry.
The Company holds interests in Group companies, jointlycontrolled entities and associates. Consequently, in accordance with prevailing legislation, the Company is the parent of a group of companies. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Spain, consolidated financial statements must be prepared to present truly and fairly the financial position of the Group, the results of operations and changes in its equity and cash flows. Details of investments in Group companies, jointly-controlled entities and associated companies are included in Note 8.1.1.
On 22 February 2023, the Directors authorised for issue the consolidated financial statements of Endesa, S.A. and Subsidiaries for the year ended 31 December 2022, in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards adopted by the European Union (IFRS-EU). The consolidated financial statements of Endesa, S.A. and Subsidiaries for the year ended 31 December 2021 were prepared by the Board of Directors on 21 February 2022, and they were approved by the General Shareholders' Meeting on 29 April 2022, and are filed at the Madrid Mercantile Registry.
The key figures from the consolidated financial statements of Endesa, S.A. and Subsidiaries for 2022 and 2021 were as follows:
| 31 December 2022 | 31 December 2021 | |
|---|---|---|
| Total assets | 49,960 | 39,968 |

At 31 December 2022 and 2021, the ENEL Group controlled 70.1% of Endesa, S.A. through Enel Iberia, S.L.U., thereby granting it control of the company (see Note 10.1).
The registered offices of the companies Enel Iberia, S.L.U. and Enel, S.p.A. are located at Calle Ribera del Loira, 60, E-28042 Madrid (Spain) and Viale Regina Margherita, 137, I-00198 Rome (Italy), respectively.
The financial statements of Enel Iberia, S.L.U. for the year ended 31 December 2021, prepared on 17 March 2022 and approved by the sole shareholder on 18 May 2022, are filed with the Madrid Mercantile Registry.
The Consolidated Financial Statements of ENEL, S.p.A. and Subsidiaries for the year ended 31 December 2021, ultimate Parent of Endesa, S.A., were approved by the General Shareholders' Meeting held on 19 May 2022 and are filed at the Rome and Madrid Mercantile Registries.
The financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022 are presented in accordance with Law 16/2007 of 4 July, on the reform and adaptation of accounting legislation for harmonisation with EU Law and the Spanish General Chart of Accounts approved by Royal Decree 1514/2007, of 16 November, and the amendments thereto established by Royal Decree 1159/2010, of 17 September, Royal Decree 602/2016 of 2 December and by Royal Decree 1/2021, of 12 January.
The financial statements present fairly the equity and financial position of the Company at 31 December 2022 and the results of its operations, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and have been prepared on the basis of the Company's accounting records.
The accounting principles and policies applied in preparing these financial statements are those set forth in the Spanish General Chart of Accounts and are summarised in Note 4. All mandatory accounting principles with an effect on equity, the financial position and profit or loss were applied in preparing these financial statements.
The Company's Directors are responsible for the information included in the financial statements. In preparing the financial statements, the Company's Directors made estimates to measure certain assets, liabilities, income, expenses and commitments included therein. These estimates were essentially as follows:
collective redundancy procedures and agreements to suspend contracts (see Notes 4f and 11).
● The likelihood and amount of undetermined or contingent liabilities (see Notes 4f and 11).
Although these estimates have been based on the best information available at the date of authorisation for issue of these financial statements regarding the facts analysed, future events could require the estimates to be increased or decreased in subsequent years. Changes in accounting estimates would be applied prospectively, recognising the effects of the change in estimates in the related financial statements.
At 31 December 2022, the Company had negative working capital of Euro 600 million as a result of its financial and cash management policy. In this regard, the Company's estimated statements of liquidity for the coming year, together with the undrawn amount on the Company's non-current lines of credit (see Note 13.3), provide assurance that the Company has available sufficient financial resources to continue to operate, realise its assets and settle its liabilities for the amounts shown in the accompanying statement of financial position.
The Company's Directors therefore prepared the accompanying financial statements on a going-concern basis.
The financial statements at 31 December 2022 2022 are presented in Euro million. The Company's functional and presentation currency is the Euro.
For comparison purposes, the financial statements present, aside from the figures in the statement of financial position, income statement, statement of changes in equity, statement of cash flows and the notes thereto for the year ended 31 December 2022, the figures for the previous year that formed part of the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021, which were approved by the General Shareholders' Meeting on 29 April 2022.
Certain items on the statement of financial position, income statement, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows are presented in groups for easier understanding, though significant data are broken down in the notes to the financial statements.

The distribution of profit for 2022, prepared by the Company's Board of Directors, to be submitted to the General Shareholders' Meeting for approval, is as follows:
| Basis of distribution for 2022 | Euro |
|---|---|
| Profit and loss: Profit | 697,199,582.31 |

(1) Maximum amount to be distributed based on Euro 1.4372 gross per share for all shares (1,058,752,117 shares).
The main recognition and measurement criteria used in preparing the accompanying financial statements, in accordance with the Spanish General Chart of Accounts, were as follows.
Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost of acquisition or production, following the same principles for determining the production cost of inventories. They are subsequently carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible assets are amortised over their useful lives which, in most cases, have been estimated at five years. The residual value, useful life and amortisation method of intangible assets are reviewed at each year end. Any changes in initially established criteria are recognised as changes in estimates.
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost of acquisition or production, using the same general criteria to calculate the production cost of inventories. Property, plant and equipment is subsequently carried at cost net of any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Property, plant and equipment, less residual value where appropriate, are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which are the periods of expected use.
Useful lives, residual value and depreciation methods are reviewed at least at the closing date of each year and adjusted prospectively, as appropriate.
The useful life of assets for the purposes of calculating depreciation in 2022 and 2021 was as follows:
| Property, Plant and | Years of estimated useful life | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Equipment | 2022 | 2021 | ||
| Furniture | 10 | 10 | ||
| Other property, plant and equipment |
5-14 | 5-14 |
Costs of expansion, improvements that increase production capacity, improvements that substantially increase productivity or lengthen the estimated useful life of the asset are recognised as increases in the value of the asset.
Renewals may be capitalised if they meet the conditions to be recognised as an asset, i.e. they arise as a result of past events, from which the Company expects to obtain economic benefits or returns in the future.
Regular maintenance, upkeep and repair expenses are recognised in the income statement and are expensed when incurred.
Leases that transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased item are classified as finance leases. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Finance leases in which the Company is the lessee are recognised at the commencement of the lease term. The Company recognises an asset according to its nature and a liability for the same amount, equal to the lower of the

fair value of the leased asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequently, the minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance charge is recognised as an expense and allocated to income over the lease term so as to obtain a constant interest rate each year applicable to the remaining balance of the liability. The asset is depreciated in the same way as the other similar depreciable assets if there is reasonable certainty that the lessee will acquire title to the asset at the end of the lease term. If no such certainty exists, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.
Costs and income deriving from operating leases are taken to profit and loss when incurred.
Any collections or payments made on inception of an operating lease are treated as an advance collection or payment and recognised over the lease term as the benefits of the leased asset are transferred or received.
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
Financial instruments are classified on initial recognition as a financial asset, a financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the economic substance of the contractual arrangement and the definitions of a financial asset, financial liability or equity instrument.
A financial asset and a financial liability will only be offset when the Company has a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and it has the intention to pay the net amount or to simultaneously realise the asset and settle the liability.
For the purposes of measurement, the Company classifies its financial assets under the following categories:
● Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: This category includes financial assets that cannot be classified under any of the other defined categories. This must include financial assets held for trading.
A financial asset is considered to be held for trading when:
This category also includes financial assets that are recognised at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition, provided that they eliminate or significantly reduce valuation inconsistencies and accounting mismatches.
The financial assets included in this category are initially measured at fair value, which, unless there is evidence to the contrary, shall be the transaction price, which shall be the fair value of the consideration given. Directlyattributable transaction costs shall be recognised in the income statement for the year.
After initial recognition, the Company shall measure the financial assets in this category at fair value through profit or loss.
● Financial assets at amortised cost: financial assets are recorded at amortised cost if they are held by the company with the objective of receiving contractual cash flows and the contractual conditions of the financial assets give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are only collections of principal and interests on the outstanding principal amount.
In general, this category includes trade and non-trade receivables:
– Trade receivables: financial assets incurred on the sale of goods and the provision of services in the course of the company's business, with deferred payment, and
– Non-trade receivables: are financial assets that are neither equity instruments nor derivatives, not arising on trade transactions, with fixed or determinable payments, and derive from loans or credits granted by the company.
The financial assets included in this category are initially measured at fair value, which, unless there is evidence to the contrary, shall be the transaction price, which shall be the fair value of the consideration given plus the directly attributable transaction costs. However, trade receivables which have no explicit contractual interest rate and are recoverable in the short term, and advances and loans to personnel, dividends receivable and capital calls on equity instruments, which are expected to be settled in the short term, may be measured at their nominal amount, when the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Financial assets in this category are measured at amortised cost. Interest accrued is recognised in the income statement applying the effective interest method. Nevertheless, trade receivables which mature within less than one year which, in accordance with the provisions of the paragraph above, are measured initially at nominal value, shall continue to be measured at that amount unless there is any impairment.
At least at the end of the reporting period, the company shall recognise any necessary valuation adjustments when there is objective evidence that the value of a financial asset, or group of financial assets with similar risk exposure measured together, is impaired as a result of one or more events occurring after initial recognition and leading to a reduction or delay in estimated future cash flows, which could be due to debtor insolvency.
The amount of the impairment loss on these financial assets shall be measured as the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, including where applicable those deriving from the execution of secured loans or personal guarantees, discounted at the effective interest rate calculated upon initial recognition. For financial assets at floating interest rates, the effective interest rate used is that prevailing at the reporting date as per the instrument's contractual terms.
Impairment losses and, where applicable, their reversal, when the loss is reduced due to a subsequent event, are recognised as an expense or income, respectively, in the income statement. The loss can only be reversed up to the limit of the carrying amount of the asset that would have been recorded at the reversal date had the impairment loss not been recognised.
However, the market value of the instrument may be used instead of the present value of estimated future cash flows, provided that this is sufficiently reliable to be considered representative of the value recoverable by the company.
Interest on impaired financial assets shall be recognised following the general rules, although the company may also assess whether this amount is recoverable, and if so, account for the corresponding impairment loss.
● Financial assets measured at fair value with changes in equity: this category includes financial assets with contractual conditions that give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are only collections of principal and interest on the outstanding principal amount, which are not held for trading and may not be classified as financial assets at amortised cost. This category also includes investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, and should not be measured at cost, for which the irrevocable option has been exercised on initial recognition to recognise subsequent changes in fair value directly in equity.
The financial assets included in this category are initially measured at fair value, which, unless there is evidence to the contrary, shall be the transaction price, which shall be the fair value of the consideration given plus the directly attributable transaction costs.
Subsequently, the financial assets included in this category will be measured at fair value, without deducting any transaction costs that may arise from their disposal. Any changes in fair value shall be recognised directly in equity, until the financial asset is derecognised from the balance sheet or becomes impaired, when the amount recognised shall be taken to profit or loss.
The interest, calculated using the effective interest method, and dividends accrued shall also be recognised in the income statement. When a value must be assigned to these assets due to derecognition from the balance sheet or any other reason, the weighted average cost method shall be used.
At least at the end of the reporting period, the company shall recognise any necessary valuation allowances when there is objective evidence that the value of a financial asset, or group of financial assets included in this category with similar risk exposure measured together, is impaired as a result of one or more events occurring after initial recognition.
The impairment for these financial assets shall be measured as the difference between the cost or amortised cost, less any impairment previously recognised in the income statement, and the fair value at the measurement date.
Where there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, accumulated losses recognised in equity for a decrease in fair value shall be recorded in the income statement.
Were fair value to increase in subsequent years, the previously recognised impairment loss would be reversed in the income statement for that year. However, where the fair value of an equity instrument increases, the impairment recognised in prior periods shall not be reversed with a credit to the income statement; rather, the increase in fair value shall be accounted for directly in equity.
● Financial assets at cost: this measurement category includes equity investments in Group companies, jointly controlled entities and associates, and any other financial asset initially classified in the fair value portfolio through profit or loss when a reliable estimate of its fair value cannot be obtained.
Investments in this category shall initially be measured at cost, which shall be the fair value of the consideration given plus any directly attributable transaction costs. The criterion described in section 2 of the standard on transactions between Group companies and the criteria for determining the cost of the combination set out in the standard on business combinations shall be applied to Group companies, where applicable. However, in the case of investments existing prior to classification as a Group company, jointly controlled entity or associate, the cost of the investment shall be the carrying amount immediately before classification by the company.
Subsequently, equity instruments included in this category are measured at cost net, where appropriate, of any accumulated impairment losses.
At least at the end of the reporting period, the necessary valuation allowances must be made when there is objective evidence that the carrying amount of an investment will not be recovered. The impairment loss shall be measured as the difference between the carrying amount and the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and the present value of future cash flows from the investment, estimated in the case of equity instruments as either those from dividends expected to be received from the investee and the disposal or derecognition of the investment, or from the share in the cash flows expected to be generated by the investee in the ordinary course of business and from disposal or derecognition. When estimating impairment of these types of assets, the investee's equity shall be taken into consideration, corrected for any unrealised gains existing at the measurement date, net of taxes, unless better evidence of the recoverable amount of the equity investment is available. Where the investee in turn holds an interest in another company, its equity shall be measured taking into account the equity disclosed in the consolidated financial statements prepared using the criteria contained in the Code of Commerce and its implementing standards.
Impairment and reversals of impairment are recognised as income or expense, respectively, in profit or loss. The loss can only be reversed up to the limit of the carrying amount of the investment that would have been recognised at the reversal date had the impairment loss not been recognised. However, when an investment was made in a Group company, jointly controlled entity or associate before it was classified as such, and valuation adjustments for the investment were recognised directly in equity prior to this classification, these adjustments shall be maintained after classification, either until disposal or derecognition of the investment, at which point they shall be recognised in the income statement, or until the following circumstances occur:
– Where prior valuation adjustments have been made for an increase in value, impairment losses shall be recognised in the equity line item that reflects prior valuation adjustments, up to the value of those adjustments, and any excess shall be recognised in the income statement. Impairment recognised directly in equity shall not be reversed.
– Where prior valuation adjustments have been made for a decrease in value and the recoverable amount will subsequently exceed the carrying amount of the investment, the latter shall be increased up to the limit of the reduction in value, and recognised in the line item that reflected the prior valuation adjustments. The resulting amount shall be considered as the cost of the investment. However, when there is objective evidence that the investment is impaired, losses accumulated directly in equity shall be recognised in the income statement.
Group companies are those over which the Company exercises direct or indirect control. Associates are those over which the Company has a significant influence (considered to be ownership of at least 20% of another company's voting stock). Jointly-controlled entities include companies run jointly by agreement with one or more partners.
To test the investment in Endesa, S.A. for impairment, the Company uses pre-tax cash flow projections for Endesa S.A. and its subsidiaries based on the latest budgets available. These budgets include Endesa S.A.'s management's best estimates of its income and expenses according to industry projections, past experience and future expectations.
These projections cover the next three years and future cash flows, applying reasonable growth rates based on assumptions regarding average long-term growth and forecast inflation rates for the sector and geographical area. The discount rate before tax and growth rate applied in 2022 and 2021 were as follows:
%
| 2022 | 2021 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Discount rate | 0-7.7 | 3.2-6.4 | |
| Weighted Average Growth Rate | 2.4 | 1.6 |
Values were allocated to the key assumptions based on:
introduction of new laws, by amendments to existing laws in such a way that forecasts contemplate proper application of current regulations, and any other laws now in process that may come into force during the projected period.

costs, forecast inflation and long-term maintenance contracts or other types of contracts.
● External sources are always used to compare macroeconomic assumptions, such as price trends, growth in gross domestic product (GDP), demand and inflation, among others.
Based on these assumptions, the investments of Endesa, S.A. were tested for impairment, and it was not necessary to recognise any significant impairment losses on its holdings in 2022 (an impairment loss of Euro 1 thousand was recognised on its investment in Endesa Capital, S.A.U. in 2021) (see Note 8.1.1).
Interest and dividends from financial assets accrued after the acquisition date are recognised as income in the income statement.
To this end, on initial measurement of the financial assets, accrued explicit interest pending maturity at that time and dividends authorised by the competent office prior to the acquisition are recognised separately according to their maturity. Explicit interest is that obtained on applying the contractual interest rate of the financial instrument.
Furthermore, distributed dividends are not recognised as income when they are clearly derived from profits generated prior to the acquisition date because amounts higher than the profits generated by the investee (or any Group company in which the latter has an ownership interest) have been distributed since the acquisition and, instead, they are recognised as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment.
The analysis of whether profits have been generated by the investee will be exclusively performed on the profits recognised in the individual income statement from the acquisition data, unless the distribution with a charge to this profit must be categorically classified as a recovery of the investment from the perspective of the company that receives the dividend.
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method and dividend income is recognised when the right to receive the payment is established.
The Company derecognises financial assets when they expire or when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset have been transferred and the risks and rewards of ownership have been substantially transferred. However, for transfers of financial assets in which the risks and rewards of ownership are substantially retained, the Company does not derecognise the financial assets but instead recognises a financial liability for the same amount as the consideration received.
If the Company has not substantially transferred or retained the risks and rewards of the financial asset, the asset is derecognised when control is not retained. If the Company retains control of the asset, it continues recognising it for the amount to which it is exposed through changes in the fair value of the asset transferred, i.e. for its continuing involvement, recognising the associated liability.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received, net of transaction costs, including any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed and any cumulative gain or loss deferred in recognised income and expense, is recorded as profit.
For the purposes of measurement, the Company classifies its financial liabilities under the following categories:
● Financial liabilities at amortised cost: the company classifies financial liabilities in this category unless they must be measured at fair value through profit or loss or they are one of the exceptions to the rule.
In general, this category includes trade and non-trade payables:
Participating loans with the characteristics of an ordinary loan are also included in this category.
The financial liabilities included in this category are initially measured at fair value, which, unless there is evidence to the contrary, shall be the transaction price, which shall be the fair value of the consideration received adjusted for any directly attributable transaction costs.
However, trade payables maturing within one year that have no contractual interest rate, and capital called up by third parties, which is expected to be paid in the short term, may be measured at their nominal amount, when the effect of discounting the cash flows is immaterial.
Financial liabilities in this category are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Interest accrued is recognised in the income statement applying the effective interest method. Nevertheless, trade payables which mature within less than one year which, in accordance with the provisions of the paragraph above, are measured initially at nominal value, shall continue to be measured at that amount.
The financial liabilities included in this category are initially measured at fair value, which, unless there is evidence to the contrary, shall be the transaction price, which shall be the fair value of the consideration received. Directly-attributable transaction costs shall be recognised in the income statement for the year.
After initial recognition, the company shall measure the financial liabilities in this category at fair value through profit or loss.
The Company has reverse factoring arrangements with a number of financial entities, and a portion of such arrangements include sustainability criteria. Trade payables whose payment is managed by financial entities are recognised under "Trade and other payables" in the statement of financial position to the degree that the Company has only granted the management of payment to financial entities, does not receive any financing from
financial institutions and is maintained as the primary principal regarding the payment of debts with respect to the trade creditors.
At 31 December 2022, the amount of commercial debt discounted with financing entities to manage payments to suppliers (reverse factoring), recognised under "Trade and other payables" in the statement of financial position was less than Euro 1 million (31 December 2021: Euro 1 million).
The derivatives held by the Company relate mainly to transactions arranged to hedge interest rate and foreign currency risk, the purpose of which is to eliminate or significantly reduce these risks in the underlying hedged transactions.
Derivatives are recognised at their fair value in the statement of financial position at the end of the reporting period. Derivatives are recognised as current or noncurrent financial investments where the value is positive and as current or non-current debts where the value is negative. Derivatives arranged with Group companies have been recognised as current or non-current investments in Group companies and associates where the value is positive and as current or non-current debts to Group companies and associates where the value is negative.
Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised in the consolidated income statement as financial profit or loss, except where the derivative has been designated as a hedging instrument and the requirements for hedge accounting have been met; for example, the hedge must be highly effective. In this case, recognition depends on the type of hedge as follows.
In 2022 and 2021, the accrued income on reverse factoring contracts was less than Euro 1 million, respectively.
The Company derecognises financial liabilities when the obligations that generated them have been extinguished.
recognised directly in the income statement as financial income or expense.
A hedge is only applicable when there is a financial relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, the credit risk of the hedged item does not have a dominant effect on the changes in value resulting from that financial relationship, and the hedging ratio of the hedging relationship is the same as that resulting from the amount of the hedged item that Endesa actually uses to cover said amount of the hedged item.
Endesa, S.A., at inception and over the term of the hedge, assesses whether hedging relationship meets effectiveness requirements prospectively. The Company also assesses effectiveness at every reporting date or when there are significant changes that affect effectiveness requirements. The Company carries out a qualitative assessment of effectiveness when the fundamental terms of the instrument and the hedged item match. When the essential terms do not match, Endesa, S.A. uses a hypothetical derivative with vital terms that match the terms of the hedged item to assess and measure ineffectiveness.
Endesa, S.A. will discontinue hedge accounting prospectively only when the hedging relationship (or a part of it) no longer meets the required criteria, having factored in any rebalancing of the hedging relationship; for example, when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, resolved or exercised. However, the hedge continues to be recognised and measured in cases where the Company revokes the hedge designation if the remaining requirements are still met.
When hedge accounting is discontinued in a cash flow hedge, the amounts accumulated in equity are not recognised in the income statement until the future cash flows on the hedged item materialise. In contrast, the amounts accumulated in equity are recognised in the income statement when future cash flows on the hedge item are no longer expected.
Endesa, S.A. assesses whether embedded derivatives are present in contracts and financial instruments. Financial instruments that combine a non-derivative host contract and a financial derivative (embedded derivative) are known as hybrid financial instruments. When the host contract is a financial asset of the Company it must be measured as a whole in accordance with the general criteria for the recognition and measurement of financial assets. If the host contract is not a financial asset, the Company accounts for the embedded derivative and the host contract separately, if, and only if:
The embedded derivative is accounted for in the same way as the host contract in accordance with the corresponding recognition and measurement standards. If the requirements stated above are not met for the separate recognition and measurement of the embedded derivative and host contract, the Company will apply the general recognition and measurement standards to the hybrid contract as a whole. The fair value of the different derivative financial instruments is calculated as follows:
● For derivatives quoted on an organised market, their quoted value at year-end.
● In the case of derivatives not quoted on an organised market, Endesa, S.A. carries out valuations using internal tools and calculates the fair value of financial derivatives in due consideration of observable market variables, by estimating discounted future cash flows using zerocoupon yield curves for each currency on the last working day of each close, translated to Euro at the exchange rate prevailing on the last working day of each close. When the gross market value has been obtained, a "Debt Valuation Adjustment (DVA)" is made in respect of credit risk, or a "Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA)" in respect of counterparty risk. The measurement of CVA/ DVA is based on potential future exposure of the instrument (creditor or debtor position) and the risk profile of the counterparties and of Endesa's own risk profile.
The Company has entered into commodities forward sale and purchase contracts, mainly for liquefied natural gas. In general, these contracts are measured in the statement of financial position at fair value at the reporting date, with differences recognised on the income statement, except for supply contracts that are fully transferred under the same terms and conferring the same rights and obligations to other Endesa Group companies in which the Company has acted as the contracting party, solely for reasons associated with the Group's organisation or in order to boost efficiency when entering into or handling these contracts. In such cases, the Company acts as the agent and does not recognise expenses on these purchases or revenue on the sales, as it does not take control of the goods supplied by the third party.
Own shares acquired by the Company in the year are recognised at the value of the consideration delivered in exchange, directly as a reduction of Equity under "Shares and investments in equity".
The results arising from the purchase and sale of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity, and no circumstances. Expenses arising from a transaction involving equity
results are recognised in the income statement under any
instruments, which was discontinued or abandoned, shall be recognised in the income statement.
Financial guarantee contracts, which are the guarantee deposits extended to third parties by the Company, are initially recognised at fair value. Except where there is evidence to the contrary, fair value is the premium received plus the present value of any cash flows to be received.
Subsequently, financial guarantee contracts are measured as the difference between:
● The amount of the liability determined according to the accounting principles for provisions in Note 4f.
● The amount of the initially recognised asset, less the portion taken to the income statement on an accruals basis.
When the Company receives the guarantee (secured company), it will recognise the cost of the guarantee in the
In guarantees extended and received for operating leases or to render services, the difference between the fair value and the amount disbursed is recognised as a prepayment
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and demand deposits in financial institutions. They also include other current, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are income statement as an operating expense. However, when the guarantee is directly related with a financial transaction, the payment arising from the guarantee will be included in the calculation of the effective interest rate.
or as revenue received in advance, and is recognised in the income statement over the period during which the service is rendered or the lease period lasts.
subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. An investment normally qualifies as a cash equivalent when it matures at less than 3 months from the date of acquisition.
Liabilities existing at the statement of financial position date that arise as a result of past events that could have a negative impact on the Company's equity, whose amount and settlement date are uncertain, are recognised as provisions in the statement of financial position at the present value of the most probable amount considered to be needed by the Company to settle the liability.
Provisions are made based on the best information available at the reporting date on the most likely outcome of the event for which the provision is required and are reestimated at the end of each reporting period.
Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the financial statements, but rather are disclosed in the corresponding Notes, when they are not considered to be remote. The financial effect of provisions is recognised as a financial expense in the income statement. Current provisions, the financial effect of which is immaterial, are not discounted. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic resources will be required to settle an obligation, the provision is reversed.
For defined benefit plans, the Company recognises the expenditure relating to these obligations on an accrual basis over the working life of the employees by performing actuarial studies at the reporting date, calculated using the projected unit credit method. The past service costs relating to changes in benefits are recognised immediately with a charge to the income statement as the benefits vest insofar as the rights are irrevocable.
Defined benefit plan provisions represent the present value of the accrued benefits, after deducting the fair value of the qualifying plan assets and any unrecognised past service cost. The actuarial losses and gains arising on the measurement of plan liabilities and assets are recognised directly under "Equity: Other reserves" (see Note 10.3.5).
For each of the plans, any positive difference between the actuarial liability for past services and the plan assets is recognised under non-current provisions on the liability side of the statement of financial position. Any negative difference is recognised under non-current financial investments - loans to third parties on the asset side of the statement of financial position, provided that this negative difference is recoverable by the Company, usually through a reduction in future contributions.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the income statement as the employees provide their services.
Defined benefit plan assets and liabilities are recognised as current or non-current depending on when the associated benefits are realised or fall due.
The post-employment plans that have been fully insured and for which the Company has therefore transferred all the risk are considered to be defined contribution plans. Consequently, in the same case as the latter, no assets or liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position.
The Company recognises termination or temporary lay-off benefits when there is an individual or group agreement with the employees that will enable them, unilaterally or by mutual agreement with the Company, to cease working for Endesa, S.A. or to temporarily suspend their employment contract in exchange for termination benefits or consideration. If a mutual agreement is required, a provision is only recorded in situations in which Endesa, S.A. has decided to give its consent to the termination of employment, and consent has been notified to the employee either individually or collectively to employee representatives. In all cases in which these provisions are recognised, the employees expect that these early retirements will proceed, and that there will be official notification by the Company to the employee or to the employee's representatives.
The Company recognises the expected cost of profitsharing and bonus plans when it has a present legal or constructive obligation to make such payments as a result of past events and a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made.
Transactions in currencies other than the Euro, the Company's functional currency, are translated to Euro at the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date. During the year, differences arising between the balances translated at the exchange rate at the transaction date and those translated at the exchange rate at the date of collection or payment are recorded as financial profit or loss in the income statement (see Note 9).
Balances receivable or payable at 31 December each year denominated in currencies other than the Euro are translated using the year-end exchange rate. Any translation differences arising are recognised as financial profit or loss in the income statement.
In the accompanying statement of financial position, assets and liabilities maturing within 12 months are classified as current and those maturing within more than 12 months are classified as non-current.

The income tax expense or income for the year is calculated as the sum of the current tax of the Company resulting from applying the tax rate to the taxable income for the year, after consideration of any available tax deductions, plus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities, and tax credits for tax loss carryforwards and deductions.
The differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their tax base give rise to deferred tax assets or liabilities, which are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the years when the assets are realised and the liabilities settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, except where those arising from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable income.
In accordance with the principle of prudence, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deferred tax assets can be utilised. In any case, this condition will be considered to exist, when the applicable tax legislation provides for the possibility of future conversion of deferred tax assets in an enforceable claim against the tax authorities with respect to the assets subject to conversion.
Unless there is evidence to the contrary, it is not considered probable that the company will have future taxable profits in the following cases:
It is also probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available against which the deferred tax assets can be recovered when there are sufficient taxable temporary differences relating to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity which are expected to reverse:
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences, except where 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, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable income.
Tax credits arising from economic events occurring in the year are deducted from the corporation tax expense, unless there are doubts as to whether they can be realised, in which case, they are not recognised until they have effectively been realised.
The deferred tax assets and liabilities recognised are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, in order to ascertain whether they still exist, and the appropriate adjustments are made in line with the outcome of the aforementioned examination.
The Company also evaluates any deferred tax assets that were not previously recognised. Based on this evaluation, the Company recognises deferred tax assets not previously recognised provided it is probable that the Company will report taxable profits in the future enabling these assets to be capitalised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted and are classified as non-current assets and non-current liabilities, respectively in the statement of financial position, regardless of the estimated realisation or settlement date. The Company forms part of the consolidated tax group headed by Enel, S.p.A. (the Italian company which is the parent of the Enel Group), represented in Spain by ENEL Iberia, S.L.U.
The accrued corporation tax expense for the companies forming the consolidated tax group is determined taking into account, in addition to the factors to be considered in the case of individual taxation set out previously, the following:
A reciprocal credit and debit arises between the companies that contribute tax losses to the consolidated tax group and the rest of the companies that offset those losses. Where a tax loss cannot be offset by the other companies of the tax group, these tax loss carryforwards are recognised as deferred tax assets under respective recognition criteria, considering the tax group as a taxable entity.
Income tax credits and rebates affect the calculation of the tax accruing at each company by the effective amount applicable in the consolidated system.
Dividend income from investments in equity instruments is recognised when the Company is entitled to receive it. Likewise, given that the Company's ordinary activities involve the ownership of investments in the capital of subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities or associates, dividend income is recognised under "Revenue" in the income statement, while an account is included under the operating margin for impairment losses on equity instruments associated with its activity.
As general criteria, Endesa, S.A. recognises the income from its ordinary activities as the delivery of the goods or the rendering of the services contractually agreed to with its customers occurs during the life of the contract and for the amount of the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for said goods or services.
In particular, the Company follows the following stages for the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers:
Fair value is defined as the price that would be collected for the sale of an asset or that would be paid for the transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market players at the valuation date.
The valuation is calculated on the premise that the transaction is carried out on the main market, i.e. the market with the largest volume or activity of the asset or liability. In the absence of a main market, it is assumed that the transaction is carried out on the most advantageous market, i.e. that which maximises the amount received from selling the asset or that which minimises the amount paid to transfer the liability.
The fair value of the asset or the liability is determined by applying the assumptions that would be made by the market players at the time the price of the asset or liability is set, on the understanding that the market players are acting in their best economic interests. The market players are independent of each other, they are well informed, they The amount of the debt (credit) owed to the entity representing the tax group in Spain, Enel Iberia, S.L.U., is recognised with a credit (debit) to current debts (investments) with (in) Group companies and associates in the accompanying statement of financial position.
The Company excludes from income gross inflows of profits received when acting as an agent or commission agent on behalf of third parties, and only recognises revenue from its own activity.
Interest income and expenses are recognised by reference to the effective interest rate applicable to the outstanding principal over the related repayment period.
Expenses are recognised on an accrual basis.
can carry out a transaction with the asset or liability, and are motivated to carry out the transaction but are not in any way obliged or forced to do so.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value may be classified on the following levels (see Notes 8.7 and 12.7):

each closing. All these measurements are made using internal tools.
● Level 3: The fair value is calculated from inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data.
Endesa, S.A. uses valuation tools to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities that are suited to the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to appraise fair value, making maximum use of major observable variables and minimum use of non-observable variables.
Environmental expenses are those incurred by the Company to minimise the environmental impact of its activity.
The environmental expenses of these activities and any incurred as a result of events outside the Company's normal business that are not expected to arise frequently (including fines, sanctions and compensation payable to third parties for environmental damage) are classified as operating expenses under other "Operating expenses external services" in the period in which they are incurred. Non-current assets acquired by the Company to minimise the environmental impact of its activity and to protect the environment are recognised – depending on their nature – as property, plant and equipment or intangible assets, at their cost of acquisition or production, and are depreciated or amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful life.
All Company transactions with related parties are performed on an arm's length basis. Transfer prices are adequately supported, and consequently, the Company's Directors consider that no significant risks exist in this respect from which significant liabilities could arise in the future.
Endesa, S.A. has granted certain of its employees and employees of its business group, who occupy positions of greater responsibility, remuneration plans based on equity instruments, in which, in exchange for the services they provide, the Company settles them with equity instruments (shares of Endesa, S.A.). These plans are also combined with cash settlements, whose amount is based on the value of equity instruments (see Note 18.3.5).
The Company recognises the services received from inhouse employees as "Personnel Expenses" in the income statement, at the time of obtaining them and, by contrast, it posts the corresponding increase in Equity under the heading "Other equity instruments" when the transaction is settled with equity instruments or the corresponding liability under the heading "Long-term provisions" if the transaction is settled in cash with an amount that is based on the value of equity instruments.
In the event of payments to employees of its business group, which are settled with equity instruments of the parent, Endesa, S.A. recognises the cost of the Plan as an addition to its investment in the subsidiary.
Transactions in which it is necessary to complete a certain period of services are recognised to the extent that such services are provided throughout that period.
In transactions with employees settled with equity instruments, both the services provided and the increase in the Equity to be recognised shall be measured at the fair value of the equity instruments transferred, referred to the date of the concession agreement.
Once the goods and services received have been recognised, in accordance with the provisions of the preceding paragraphs, as well as the corresponding increase in Equity, no additional adjustments will be made to the Equity after the date of irrevocability.
In transactions settled in cash, the goods or services received and the liability to be recognised shall be measured at the fair value of the liability, referring to the date on which the requirements for recognition are met. Subsequently, and until settlement, the corresponding liability shall be measured at fair value at the closing date of each financial year, with any valuation changes that occurred during the financial year being charged to the income statement.
The statement of cash flows reflects the changes in cash occurring during the year, calculated using the indirect method. The following terms are used in the statements of cash flows with the meanings specified:

On 29 November 2022, the Company made a monetary contribution to its investee Endesa Capital, S.A.U., respectively, to strengthen its financial position. This contribution, which was not made for any consideration and does not have to be repaid, was recognised as an increased ownership interest and amounted to Euro 2 million.
On 10 March 2021 and 15 December 2021, the Company made monetary contributions to its investees, Endesa X Servicios, S.L.U. and Endesa Capital, S.A.U., respectively, to strengthen their financial position.

At 31 December 2022 the heading "Current loans to Group companies and associates" mainly includes the debit balance of Euro 4,696 million from the intercompany current account agreement with Endesa Financiación Filiales, S.A.U. (credit balance of Euro 1,835 million classified under "Non-current debts to Group companies and associates" at 31 December 2021). The Company has a cash pooling agreement with Endesa Financiación Filiales, S.A.U. that is automatically renewable for five-year periods at maturity unless either party notifies the other of its decision not to renew the agreement at least 13 months before the end of the period. The interest rate applicable to the current account will be determined by Endesa Financiación Filiales, S.A., and will be equal to the average cost of gross debt for the Endesa Group (or any other that may replace it in the future), as published by the Finance Department during the month immediately prior to the interest period concerned, and may be reviewed, where appropriate, depending on the actual rate at the end of the interest period. This contract stipulates that the Company may draw down the amounts required to cover its financial needs and invest its surpluses to regulate its cash flows. There is no limit on the cash drawdowns that can be made between the parties. At 31 December 2022 accrued and uncollected interest on this credit line amounts to Euro 31 million (Euro 13 million corresponding to accrued and unpaid interest classified under "Current debts to Group companies and associates" at 31 December 2021) (see Notes 12.1, 12.2 and 18.2).
Likewise, at 31 December 2022, "Current loans to Group companies and associates" includes mainly the amounts receivable from Enel Iberia, S.L.U. for an income tax expense of Euro 9 million (Euro 56 million at December 2021). The receivable for 2022 income tax expense is an estimate and therefore interest-free, as it will be settled in 2023 when the income tax return is filed (see Notes 15.9 and 18.2).
Lastly, at 31 December 2022, the Company had granted a loan to Elcogas, S.A. (In Liquidation) recorded under current loans to Group companies and associates (Non-current loans to Group companies and associates as at 31 December 2021) in the amount of Euro 54 million and is fully impaired.

Investments in equity instruments held at 31 December 2022 totalled Euro 3 million (Euro 3 million at 31 December 2021).
At 31 December 2022 and 2021, loans to third parties included the balance relating to non-current loans to staff amounting to Euro 7 million and Euro 6 million, respectively.
Likewise, at 31 December 2022 and 2021, no impairment loss allowances were recognised for non-current "Loans to third parties".
In Ruling 202/2022, dated February 21, the Supreme Court recognized Endesa, S.A.'s right to be compensated for the amounts paid for the financing and co-financing of the "Bono Social" or Social Bonus with the Public Administrations during the entire period of validity of the third financing scheme of the "Bono Social" or Social Bonus, so that the plaintiff is reimbursed for all amounts paid, discounting those which, if any, would have been passed on to customers. Endesa, S.A. has not passed on, either directly or indirectly, this cost to customers and should, therefore, be entitled to full recovery of the amounts paid.
In particular, in the case of the regulated segment, the recovery of the amounts owed should be automatic since the Reference Suppliers cannot pass this cost on to the customers since their remuneration system does not allow it. For this reason, at 31 December 2022, Endesa S.A. has recorded under the heading "Short-term loans to third parties", an account receivable in this connection, amounting to Euro 152 million of principal and Euro 16 million of late-payment interest (see Notes 11.3, 16.3, 16.4 and 16.5).
At 31 December 2022 and 2021, this heading included Euro 10 million and Euro 12 million, respectively, for the deposit provided to guarantee the payment of future services of employees who have availed themselves of Endesa, S.A.'s defined benefit pension plan. (see Note 11.1).

In 2022 and 2021, no foreign currency transactions of any significant amount were carried out.
The Company has signed with Endesa Energía, S.A.U. and Enel Global Trading, S.p.A. contracts for the sale of liquefied natural gas (LNG) through which it transfers, under the same conditions, the purchases made by the Company from Christi Liquefaction, LLC to execute the aforementioned contracts (see Note 17.2). The transactions involved in these operations are denominated in US dollars (USD), are deemed to be brokerage and are netted off in the accompanying income statement under "Procurements".
The foreign exchange differences arising on transactions settled in 2022 and 2021 related mainly to measurements of cash accounts denominated in foreign currency.
At 31 December 2022 and 2021, the breakdown of equity and movement during the year are shown in the statement of changes in equity that form part of the Company's financial statements.
At 31 December 2022, Endesa, S.A. had share capital of Euro 1,270,502,540.40, represented by 1,058,752,117 bearer shares with a par value of Euro 1.20 each, subscribed and fully paid up and all admitted for trading on the Spanish Stock Exchanges. There were no changes in share capital in 2022 and 2021. All the shares have the same voting and profit-sharing rights. At 31 December 2022 and 2021, the Enel Group, through Enel Iberia, S.L.U., held 70.1% of Endesa, S.A.'s share capital (see Note 1). At that date, no other shareholder held more than 10% of the share capital of Endesa, S.A.
The share premium arises from the Company's corporate restructuring. Article 303 of the Consolidated text of the Spanish Corporate Enterprises Act expressly permits the use of the share premium to increase capital and does not establish any specific restrictions as to its use. Nonetheless, at 31 December 2022, Euro 33 million of the share premium are restricted to the extent that they are subject to tax assets capitalised in prior years (Euro 35 million at 31 December 2021).
At 31 December 2022 and 2021, the details of the Company's reserves were as follows:
| Note | 31 December 2022 | 31 December 2021 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Legal reserve | 10.3.1 | 254 | 254 |
| Revaluation reserve | 10.3.2 | 404 | 404 |
| Redeemed capital reserve | 10.3.3 | 102 | 102 |
| Reserve for redenomination of capital to Euro | 10.3.4 | 2 | 2 |
| Reserve for actuarial gains and losses and other adjustments | 10.3.5 | — | (17) |
| Other reserves | 693 | 693 | |
| Merger reserve | 10.3.6 | 667 | 667 |
| Other unrestricted reserves | 10.3.7 | 26 | 26 |
| Voluntary and other reserves | 26 | 26 | |
| TOTAL | 1,455 | 1,438 |
In accordance with section 274 of the Consolidated text of the Corporate Enterprises Act, an amount equal to ten per cent of the profit for the year shall be earmarked for the legal reserve until such reserve represents at least twenty per cent of the share capital. The legal reserve can be used to increase share capital provided that the balance left on the reserve is at least equal to 10% of the nominal value of the total share capital after the increase. Except for the aforementioned purpose, the legal reserve may not be used to offset losses unless it exceeds twenty per cent of the share capital and no other sufficient reserves are available for such purpose.
At 31 December 2022 and 2021, the Company had allocated the minimum amount required by said law to this reserve.
The revaluation reserve is a result of the revaluation of assets made pursuant to Royal Decree-Law 7/1996, of 7 June. On 1 January 2000, the revalued assets were contributed to the corresponding companies following the corporate restructuring carried out by Endesa, S.A.
This balance can be used, tax-free, to offset the accounting loss for the year or accounting losses accumulated from prior years or that could arise in the future, and to increase share capital or unrestricted reserves. It can also be transferred to unrestricted reserves provided that the monetary gain has been realised. The gain will be deemed to have been realised when the related revalued assets have been depreciated, transferred or derecognised. This balance would be taxed if used for any purpose other than that foreseen in Royal Decree Law 7/1996 of 7 June. Nonetheless, at 31 December 2022, Euro 207 million of the share premium are restricted to the extent that they are subject to tax assets capitalised in prior years (Euro 221 million at 31 December 2021).
The redeemed capital reserve has been appropriated in compliance with Article 335 of the Corporate Enterprises Act, which requires companies to post to this reserve an amount equal to the par value of the redeemed shares or of the reduction in their par value, when the reduction is charged to unrestricted profits or reserves by redeeming shares acquired free of charge by the Company. The drawdown on this reserve shall be subject to the same requirements as set forth for reducing share capital.
This reserve is not distributable.
This reserve derives from actuarial gains and losses recognised in equity (see Note 11.1).
This reserve stems from the restructuring of the Company, and its balance at 31 December 2022 and 2021 amounts to Euro 667 million, of which Euro 78 million and Euro 81 million, respectively, are undistributable because they are subject to certain tax benefits.
Voluntary reserves are freely distributable.
On 14 October 2022, the Board of Directors of Endesa, S.A. resolved to implement a temporary share buy-back programme to cover its long-term variable remuneration plan called the "Strategic Incentive Plan 2022-2024", under which the delivery of shares forms part of the "strategic incentive" payment (see Note 18.3.5).
The Repurchasing Programme, managed and implemented by Exane, S.A. ("Exane BNP Paribas"), is subject to that envisaged in the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052, of 8 March, completing Regulation (EU) 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council, of 16 April.
With the execution of the Programme, Endesa, SA has acquired 91,362 treasury shares, which are added to the 162,458 treasury shares that it acquired in previous years through the execution of similar programmes.

No disposals or cancellations have been made since acquisition.
Likewise, the Board of Directors of Endesa, S.A., at its meeting held on 10 May 2022, resolved to carry out another Temporary Share Buy-back Programme, in accordance with the authorisation granted by the Company's General Shareholders' Meeting held on 5 May 2020, and also in conformity with the approval of the Company's Board of Directors held on 22 March in relation to the plan to award shares to employees ("Flexible Share Remuneration Programme"). This Temporary Share Buy-back Programme aims to acquire shares to comply with the obligations of the Flexible Share Remuneration Programme for serving employees of the Endesa Group in Spain that opt in 2022 to receive a portion of their salary in shares of Endesa, S.A. within the Group's general remuneration policy framework. The Temporary Share Buyback Programme includes the volume of shares required to cover the monetary amount requested by the employees.
Under the aforementioned Programme, Endesa, S.A. acquired 509,982 treasury shares of the Company, of which 790 shares remained in the Company's possession at 31 December 2022.
Therefore, at 31 December 2022 and 2021 Endesa, S.A. held treasury shares as reflected in the table below:

(1) Includes post-employment benefits other than pension plans for Euro 9 million at 31 December 2022
(Euro 17 million at 31 December 2021).
Provisions for pensions and similar obligations in the accompanying statement of financial position are the result of obligations set forth in collective or individual agreements with the Company's employees, whereby the Company undertakes to supplement the public social security system benefits in the event of retirement, permanent disability and death.
Pension commitments, both defined benefits and defined contributions, are basically arranged through pension plans or insurance policies, except as regards certain benefits in kind, which due to their nature have not been outsourced and are covered by in-house provisions. The amounts recognised in the statement of financial position at 31 December 2022 for post-employment benefits include Euro 12 million recognised in "Non-current provisions" (Euro 36 million at 31 December 2021).
At 31 December 2022 and 2021, the details of the present value of the provisions assumed by the Company in relation to post-employment remuneration and other long-term employee benefits and associated plan assets were as follows:
| 31 December 2022 | 31 December 2021 | |
|---|---|---|
| Present value of defined benefit provisions | 31 | 85 |

Millions of Euro

At 31 December 2022 and 2021, the movement in actuarial liabilities for defined benefit provisions was as follows:
Millions of Euro
| Note | 2022 | 2021 |

(1) Includes post-employment benefits other than pension plans for Euro 9 million at 31 December 2022
(Euro 17 million at 31 December 2021).
The amount recognised under insurance for benefits payable in 2022, of Euro 21 million, relates to the payment of premiums on the insurance policies taken out to cover the defined benefit obligations in that year in a move to eliminate all the risks assumed by Endesa in relation to the obligations insured. The amounts paid led to a reduction in the same amount of plan assets.
The cost of the policy is Euro 0.4 million lower than the actuarial liability corresponding to these obligations and, therefore, a positive effect has been recognised for this amount under "Personnel expenses" in the Income Statement.
At 31 December 2022 and 2021, the changes in the market value of defined benefit plan assets were as follows:
| Millions of Euro | ||

| Note | 2022 | 2021 |

(1) Post-employment benefits other than pension schemes are not included.
The Company has the above provisions covered by the amounts shown in the statements of financial position at 31 December 2022 and 2021.
At 31 December 2022 and 2021, the main characteristics of defined benefit plan assets as a percentage of total assets, were as follows:
| Percentage (%) | ||

| 31 December 2022 | 31 December 2021 | |
| Shares | 30 | 39 |
| Fixed income assets | 45 | 45 |

| TOTAL | 100 | 100 |
At 31 December 2022 and 2021, the following were the most significant actuarial assumptions considered in the calculations:
| 31 December 2022 | 31 December 2021 | |
|---|---|---|
| Mortality tables | PERM FCOL2020 | PERM FCOL2020 |

(1) Benchmark percentage for estimating salary increases.
The interest rate applied to discount the provisions in Spain is obtained from a curve constructed using the yields on corporate bond issues by companies with an "AA" credit rating, based on the estimated term of the provisions arising from each commitment.
The projected unit credit method is used, where each year of service generates a unit of rights to the benefits, with each unit determined separately.
Contributions by the Company to defined contribution and benefit pension plans amounted to Euro 9 million in 2022 (Euro 10 million in 2021) and are recognised under "Personnel expenses" in the income statement.
Provisions for the various workforce restructuring plans included in the statement of financial position are the result of individual or collective agreements with the Company's employees, whereby the Company undertakes to supplement state benefits in the event of termination or suspension of employment by agreement between the parties.

At 31 December 2022, under the "Agreement on voluntary suspension or termination of employment contracts of the Agreement on Guarantees for Endesa, S.A. and its Electricity Subsidiaries", Endesa recognised a provision amounting to Euro 164 million, covering the entire cost to be borne by the Company during the period for which, in accordance with the commitments made at that date, of which Euro 124 million were recognised as non-current
(Euro 184 million and 140 million, respectively, at 31 December 2021). This provision affects a maximum of 439 employees for whom Endesa has undertaken not to exercise the power to apply to return to the Company (438 employees at 31 December 2021).
At 31 December 2022 and 2021, the movements in this non-current provision were as follows:

At the date of preparation of these financial statements, the main lawsuits or arbitration proceedings involving the Company are as follows.
● The Supreme Court handed down Ruling 212/2022, of 21 February, in the Appeal brought by Endesa, S.A., Endesa Energía, S.A.U. and Energía XXI Comercializadora de Referencia, S.L.U., as well as in the appeals brought by other companies in the electricity sector against the obligation under article 45.4 of Law 24/2013, of 26 December, on the Electricity Sector, Royal Decree Law 7/2016, of 23 December, and Royal Decree 897/2017, of 6 October, to finance the cost of the Social Bonus, as well as to co-finance with the public administrations the supply of severely vulnerable consumers covered by Last Resort Tariffs (LRT) and at risk of social exclusion. It is an appeal filed against the third system to finance the Social Bonus, whereby the obligation was imposed to finance the parents of company groups that carry out electricity supply activities, or the companies themselves that do so if they do not form part of a corporate group. In particular, the Supreme Court partially upheld the appeal declaring (i) inapplicable the Social Bonus financing system and the cofinancing system with the administrations for the supply of severely vulnerable consumers that avail themselves of the Last Resort Tariff (LRT) and that are at risk of social exclusion; (ii) articles 12 to 17 of Royal Decree 897/2017, of 6 October, to be inapplicable and null and void. In turn, the following is acknowledged, (iii) the right of the claimant to be compensated for the amounts paid to finance the Social Bonus and to co-finance with the public administrations, so that all amounts paid in this regard are refunded by discounting the amounts that, where appropriate, had been passed on to customers. Lastly, the following is declared: (iv) the right of the complainant to be compensated for the amounts invested to implement the procedure to request, check and manage the Social Bonus, together with the amounts paid to apply this procedure, discounting those amounts that, where appropriate, would have been passed on to the customers. The Supreme Court issued a ruling on 24 March 2022 dismissing the request to rectify or complement the judgment proposed by the State Legal Service, so that the government can continue to charge the relevant parties for the corresponding financing cost, as the financing system has been removed from the system. However, the Supreme Court confirms that: "despite the declaration of inapplicability and annulment of the legal rules and regulations governing the system to finance the Social Bonus, the prevalence of the discount obligation in the price of electricity supplied to the vulnerable consumers will continue to generate for certain companies, even after the ruling, payments whose processing and compensation must be addressed in the new legal system to finance the Social Bonus which is established, to substitute that currently declared inapplicable, or a specific rule approved for this purpose". By Order of 24 May 2022, the judgment was deemed to have been received by the responsible body, indicating that the ruling must be honoured by the Subdirectorate General for Electricity. In view of the inactivity of the administration, on 10 November 2022, a writ of enforcement was filed. Subsequently, via an Order of 9 January 2023, a report was received from the Ministry of Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge ("MITECO") on the state of enforcement of the Ruling, and Endesa was given

notice to state, within ten days, whether the Administration has set the amounts to be paid in compensation. On 24 January 2022, Endesa submitted a written statement of pleadings, together with the corresponding reports, and requested access to the report prepared by the Spanish Markets and Competition Commission ("CNMC") on which the Ministry of Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge ("MITECO") based its report on the state of enforcement of the ruling, while reserving the right to make further pleadings in view of the aforementioned report (see Notes 8.2.2, 16.3, 16.4 and 16.5).
● Following a substantial number of meetings of the Committee responsible for negotiating the "V Endesa Framework Collective Agreement", which commenced in October 2017 and progressed throughout 2018, and given that no agreement was reached, the Company's Directors informed its workers and their representatives that, with effect from 1 January 2019, the "IV Endesa Framework Collective Agreement" would be considered to have ended, in addition to the "Guarantee Framework Agreements" and the "Agreement on Voluntary Suspension or Termination of Employment Contracts for 2013-2018", from which date the general employment regulations would apply, in addition to all case law in this regard.
The different interpretation of Endesa and the union representation of workers on the effects of the termination of the implementation of the "IV Endesa Framework Collective Agreement", particularly as regards the social benefits of retired staff, led to the presentation by trade unions with representation at Endesa companies of a collective dispute lawsuit before the National High Court at the beginning of 2019. On 26 March 2019, a judgment was issued in which the National High Court, considering Endesa to be in the right, declaring valid the interpretation of the Company that recognises the legality of the completion of the application of certain social benefits to the retired employees as a result of the termination of the "IV Endesa Framework Collective Agreement".
Although said Ruling was fully enforceable, trade union representatives at Endesa's companies filed a cassation Appeal against it before the Supreme Court in April 2019. In December 2019, the majority union at Endesa, the General Workers' Union (UGT) agreed to withdraw this Appeal as a result of voluntarily having submitted itself to fair arbitration to resolve certain aspects relating to the "V Endesa Framework Collective Agreement". Therefore, the appeal before the Supreme Court continued to be processed at the request of the 3 requesting minority trade unions: Workers' Commissions (CCOO), Independent Energy Union (SIE) and Galega Intersindical Confederation (IGC).
On 7 July 2021 (notified on 22 July), the Supreme Court handed down Ruling (no. 761/2021), dismissing in full the appeals filed by the aforementioned trade unions, confirming the Spanish High Court Industrial Tribunal Ruling, of 26 March 2019, in its collective conflict procedure, order no. 32/2019.
The Ruling mainly argues that the social benefits (among them, those relating to the electricity rate) exclusively arise from the collective agreements, both for serving and retired employees and their family members, so their extinguishment, as occurred in the case of the "IV Endesa Framework Collective Agreement", generally determines the contractualisation of the conditions established therein for serving employees and, in the case of non-active employees and their family members, led to the definitive extinguishment of all their rights, until they are regulated under the "V Endesa Framework Collective Agreement".
In addition to the aforementioned collective dispute claim, more than a thousand individual claims have been filed at the date of authorisation for issue of these financial statements by retired employees or employees that have availed themselves of the voluntary departure plan, since they considered that the termination of the "IV Endesa Framework Collective Bargaining Agreement" did not affect them in the terms reported by the Company. Following the Supreme Court Ruling of 7 July 2021 (notified on 22 July 2021), the suspension on many of these claims was lifted, with most courts involved applying the "res judicata effect" on the individual processes on the same object, so the individual claims filed are being rejected.
● Also, on 30 December 2020, notification was received from the National High Court of the collective conflict claim filed by the Workers' Commissions Unions (CCOO), Independent Energy Union (SIE) and Galega Intersindical Confederation (CIG) on 16 December 2020, requesting the annulment of certain repealing provisions of the "V Endesa Framework Collective Agreement". In the applicants' view, the repealing provisions under attack entail the unlawful elimination of social benefits and economic rights. Endesa maintains a contrary position, defending its absolute legality in line with that argued in the challenge of the modification of social benefits to retired staff (favourable judgment of the National High Court of 26 March 2019 and the Supreme Court of 7 July 2021). The hearing was held on 4 November 2021, handing down a Ruling on 15 November 2021 (notified on 23 November 2021). In this Ruling, the claims of the appellant trade unions were dismissed and the legality of the "V Endesa Framework Collective Agreement" was declared. This Ruling was appealed against before the Supreme Court by the (Workers' Commissions (CCOO), Independent Energy Union (SIE) and Galega Intersindical Confederation (IGC) and is pending resolution.
● In January 2020, Endesa commenced a "Substantial Modification of Employment Conditions" (SMEC) process to establish the new organisation of the social benefits for personnel not included in the "V Endesa Framework Collective Agreement". Following the appropriate procedure, on 24 March 2021, the consultation period ended with the agreement between Endesa and the majority trade union the General Workers' Union (UGT) and the opposition of the Workers' Commissions Unions (CCOO) and the Independent Energy Union (SIE), which did not consider that any of the causes envisaged in article 41 of the Workers' Statute materialised to carry out the substantial modification intended by the Company.
On 24 April 2020, a collective conflict claim was filed before the Spanish High Court by the Workers' Commissions Unions (CCOO) and the Independent Energy Union (SIE), a procedure which was suspended until the Supreme Court Ruling of 7 July 2021, relating to the "IV Endesa Framework Collective Agreement", described previously. On 4 November 2021, the trial took place, and a Ruling was handed down by the Spanish High Court on 11 November 2021 (notified on 23 November 2021), in which the claim was partially upheld filed by the trade unions declaring the nullity of the Substantial Modification of Employment Conditions agreements reached by Endesa and the General Workers' Union (UGT), also observing the "res judicata effect" in relation to the pension rights of employees outside the agreement, since it involves a dispute already resolved by the Supreme Court Ruling on 7 July 2021. Both Endesa and the Workers' Commissions Unions (CCOO) and the Independent Energy Union (SIE) filed a cassation appeal before the Supreme Court against the aspects of the Ruling contrary to its interests, which is currently pending resolution.
● On 9 July 2018, Endesa, S.A. was notified of the definitive income tax and VAT settlement agreements of the income tax and VAT tax consolidation groups to which Endesa, S.A. belongs, relating to the inspection process for 2011–2014, which were appealed against on 27 July 2018 before the Central Tax Appeals Board. On 28 January 2022, a partial settlement was upheld for Value Added Tax (VAT), which has been appealed against before the Spanish National Court.
Lastly, on 4 April 2022, Income Tax resolutions were received, which has also been appealed against before the Spanish High Court
The items under discussion originate mainly from the differing criteria regarding the deductibility of certain financial expenses during the inspected period and the deductibility of Value Added Tax (VAT) under the pro rata rule. The contingency associated with the process is Euro 38 million. A guarantee is available to ensure debt suspension.
The Company's Directors do not expect any significant liabilities in addition to those already recognised in the accompanying statement of financial position to arise as a result of the aforementioned lawsuits and arbitration proceedings.

The fair value of financial liabilities is measured taking into account observable market variables, specifically by estimating discounted future cash flows using zerocoupon yield curves for each currency on the last working day of each close, translated to Euro at the exchange rate prevailing on the last working day of each close. All these measurements are made using internal tools.
At 31 December 2022 and 2021, the fair value of the Company's non-current financial assets classified under "Financial liabilities at amortised cost" did not differ from their carrying amount, except those that are the hedged item in a fair value hedge and have recognized in their carrying amount the changes in value attributable to the hedged risk.

Endesa, S.A. is exposed to certain risks which it manages by applying risk identification, measurement, control and supervision systems, all of which are implemented throughout the Group of which it is the parent company. The General Risk Control and Management Policy lays down the basic principles and the general framework to control and manage risks of any kind that could affect the attainment of targets, ensuring that they are systematically identified, analysed, assessed, managed and controlled within the risk levels set. The General Risk Control and Management Policy identifies the different types of risk, financial and non-financial (including operational, technological, legal, social, environmental, political and reputational, including those related to corruption) faced by the Company, including among the financial or economic risks, any contingent liabilities and other risks not included in the statement of financial position.
The aim of the General Risk Control and Management Policy is to guide and direct the series of strategic, organisational and operational actions that allow the Board of Directors at Endesa, S.A. to accurately define the acceptable level of risk, permitting managers in the different lines of business, staff and service functions to maximise the Company's profitability, preserve or increase its equity and guarantee that this is achieved above certain levels, preventing uncertain and future events from adversely affecting the achievement of the profitability targets defined, or the corresponding operations, sustainability, resilience or reputation in a sustained way over time, providing shareholders with adequate guarantees and safeguarding their interests, in addition to the interests of customers and other stakeholders.
The principles of Endesa S.A.'s Risk Control and Management Policy, aimed at controlling and mitigating the possible risks identified, were as follows:
| Principia | |
|---|---|
| Endesa's General Risk Control and Management Policy. |
Existence of a regulatory system, people, means and systems to be able to develop a continuous process of identification, quantification, mitigation and information regarding all relevant risks that might affect the Company. |
| Ensure the adequate unbundling of functions, together with the coordination mechanisms between the different risk control areas and systems. |
|
| The risks must be in line with the strategy, objectives and critical values of Endesa, S.A., ensuring the adaptation of the risk levels to the objectives and limits set by the Board of Directors. |
|
| Optimisation of risk control and management from a consolidated perspective, giving the latter priority over the individual management of each of the risk. |
|
| Continual assessment of hedging, transference and mitigation mechanisms to guarantee their suitability and the adoption of the best market practices. |
|
| On-going monitoring of the prevailing legislation, including tax provisions, to guarantee that transactions are performed in accordance with the rules governing the business. |
|
| Respect for and compliance with internal regulations, with a special focus on Regulatory Compliance, Corporate Governance and provisions for the Prevention of Criminal and Anti-Bribery Risks, in particular, the Code of Ethics and the Zero Tolerance Plan Against Corruption. |
|
| Security is the number one value of Endesa in all the actions that must preserve the health and safety of the people who work for and at Endesa, S.A. |
|
| Commitment to sustainable development, efficiency and respect for the environment and human rights. | |
| Responsible optimisation of the use of available resources, in order to provide profitability for our shareholders as part of a relationship based on the principles of loyalty and transparency. |
The General Risk Control and Management Policy is implemented and supplemented with other specific risk policies of business lines, staff and service functions, as well as with the limits established for optimum risk management in each one of them.
The Internal Risk Control and Management System follows a model that is based, firstly, on the ongoing study of the risk profile, applying current best practices in the energy or reference sector in relation to risk management, based on the criteria of the uniformity of measurements for the same type of risk, on the separation of risk controllers and managers, and, secondly, ensuring the connection between risks assumed and the resources required to operate the business while ensuring respect for an adequate balance between the risk assumed and the targets defined by the Board of Directors at Endesa, S.A. The risk control and management process consists of identifying, assessing, monitoring and managing the different risks over time, and envisages the main risks to which the Company is exposed, both endogenous (due to internal factors) and exogenous (due to external factors). The purpose of risk management is to implement actions aimed at adjusting risk levels to optimum levels and respecting the limits set in all cases.
The risk control and management mechanisms are set out in the following notes.
Interest rate fluctuations change the fair value of assets and liabilities bearing interest at fixed rates and the future flows from assets and liabilities indexed to floating interest rates. The objective of interest rate risk management is to achieve a balanced debt structure that makes it possible to minimise the cost of the debt over several years with reduced income statement volatility, through diversification of types of financial assets and liabilities and modifications to the risk exposure profile by arranging derivatives.
The goal to reduce the amount of borrowings subject to interest rate fluctuations is obtained through the arrangement of specific hedging transactions, generally through the use of interest rate derivatives. In any case, the structure of the contracts adapts to that of the underlying financial instrument, and never exceeds the maturity of the underlying financial instrument, so that any changes in the fair value or cash flows of these contracts are offset by changes in the fair value or cash flows of the underlying position. At 31 December 2022, the Company had arranged interest rate hedges amounting to Euro 2,366 million (Euro 1,497 million at 31 December 2021).
The Company set up a current account loan agreements with Endesa Financiación Filiales, S.A.U. in Euro, applying an interest rate that is applicable to the balances receivable and payable on the current account equal to the average cost of gross debt to Endesa in Spain (or any other that may replace it in the future), as determined in the month immediately prior to the interest period concerned, which may be reviewed, as appropriate, depending on the real rate at the end of the interest period.
Endesa, S.A.'s interest rate risk structure, taking into account the derivatives arranged, at 31 December 2022 and 2021, is as follows.
| Net position | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 31 December 2022 | 31 December 2021 | ||
| Fixed interest rate | 6,221 | 4,498 | |
| Floating interest rate | 5,258 | 6,242 | |
| TOTAL | 11,479 | 10,740 |
The reference interest rate for the borrowings arranged is mainly Euribor.
Details of hedged financial assets and liabilities and the derivative financial instruments obtained to hedge them are provided in Notes 8, 12 and 14.
In 2022 and 2021, the impact of interest-rate fluctuations on the income statement and statement of recognised income and expense, all other variables remaining constant, was as follows:
| 2022 | 2021 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

The currency risks correspond, primarily, to debt contracted in foreign currency and payments to be made and received in international markets for the acquisition or sale of energy stocks or for investments in property, plant and equipment. Endesa, S.A. has arranged futures to mitigate its currency risk. The Company also strives to balance cash collections and payments for its assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency.
In 2022 and 2021, the impact on the income statement and statement of recognised income and expense of a 10% fluctuation of the Euro against all other currencies, other variables remaining constant, was not significant.
Assets and liabilities in foreign currency are disclosed in Note 9.
Liquidity risk is the risk of difficulties in meeting the Company's payment obligations in the ordinary course of business. Risk management ensures at all times a sufficient level of liquid resources, available lines of credit with first level counterparties and mitigation of refinancing risk with diversified maturity schedules. Additionally, Endesa's debt and liquidity structure allows it to have an investment grade credit rating, which allows efficient access to new financial resources. In the short term, liquidity risk is mitigated by maintaining an adequate level of unconditionally available resources, including cash and short-term deposits, available lines of credit and a portfolio of liquid assets.
Endesa maintains a liquidity policy consisting of unconditional and irrevocable long-term credit lines, both with first level banks and with Enel Group companies, cash and temporary financial investments for an aggregate amount sufficient to cover expected needs for a period that depends on the company's situation and expectations and on the debt and capital markets.
The aforementioned forecasted needs include gross financial debt maturities. For further details regarding the characteristics and conditions of the debt and derivative financial instruments, see Note 12.
The financial function is centralized in the Company and in Endesa Financiación Filiales, S.A.U., and cash forecasts are made to ensure that sufficient cash is available to meet operating needs, maintaining sufficient levels of availability in its loans and credit lines.
At 31 December 2022, Endesa, S.A.'s liquidity rose to Euro 8,340 million (Euro 5,195 million at 31 December 2021) as detailed below:
| Liquidity | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 31 December 2022 | 31 December 2021 | ||
| Cash and cash equivalents | 26 | 378 | |
| Unconditional availability in credit lines (1) | 8,314 | 4,817 | |
| TOTAL | 8,340 | 5,195 |
(1) At 31 December 2022 and 2021, Euro 4,950 and 1,700, respectively, relate to committed and irrevocable lines of credit arranged with Enel Finance International, N.V. (see Note 12.2).
At 31 December 2022, the Company has a negative working capital of Euro 600 million. The amount available in liquidity and long-term credit lines, as well as the Company's preferential access to financial markets, ensure that the Company has sufficient financial resources to continue its operations, realize its assets and settle its liabilities for the amounts shown in the Balance Sheet (see Note 2.4).
The Company has a solid financial position and unconditional and irrevocable credit lines contracted with first level entities available for significant amounts.
However, in order to strengthen its liquidity position and ensure business continuity, the Company has entered into a number of financial transactions (see Notes 12.2 and 21). The classification of financial liabilities by contractual maturities is shown in Note 12.4.
Credit risk is generated when a counterparty does not meet its obligations set out in a financial or commercial contract, giving rise to financial losses. Endesa S.A. is exposed to credit risk from its operational and financial activities, including derivatives, deposits with banks, transactions in foreign currency and other financial instruments.
Unexpected changes to the credit rating of a counterparty have an impact on the creditor's position in terms of solvency (non-compliance risk) or changes to market value (spread risk).
The Company mainly trades with counterparties in the Endesa Group and therefore, it is exposed to limited credit risk.
Despite this, the Company monitors credit risk very closely, and takes measures including the following:
● Risk analysis, assessment and monitoring of counterparty credit quality
As regards credit risk in relation to financial instruments, the risk policies followed by Endesa, S.A. consist in placing its cash surpluses as set forth in the risk management policy defined, which requires top-tier counterparties in the markets it operates in.
At 31 December 2022, the greatest exposure to cash positions held with a counterparty was Euro 7 million, of a total of Euro 26 million, with this counterparty having a rating of BBB- (Euro 252 million of a total of Euro 378 million at 31 December 2021, with this counterparty having a rating of BBB+).
Details of financial assets exposed to credit risk are provided in Note 8.

Applying the risk management policy described above, the Company mainly uses interest rate and foreign currency hedging derivatives.
The Company classifies its coverage in the cash flow hedges category, which are those that enable the cash flows of the hedged underlying to be covered in the category of fair value hedges, which are those that cover exposure to the changes in the fair value of recognised assets and liabilities.
At 31 December 2022 and 2021, the details of the breakdown of the balances including the valuation of derivative financial instruments at those dates were as follows:

Permanent difference increases in 2022 originated from differences in valuation rules amounting to Euro 15 million, donations and gifts amounting to Euro 7 million and provisions for liabilities amounting to Euro 2 million and impairment on the value of an investee amounting to Euro 1 million. The decreases mainly relate to the application of the exemption of 95% to avoid double taxation on dividends received from Group companies and associates, in the amount of Euro 677 million (see Note 16.1).
The increases in permanent differences in 2021 related to differences in valuation rules amounting to Euro 15 million, to donations and gifts totalling Euro 7 million and to the loss arising as a result of the impairment on the value of the investees in the amount of Euro 1 million. The decreases were due to the application of the exemption of 95% to avoid double taxation on dividends received from Group companies and associates, in the amount of Euro 701 million (see Note 16.1).
The increases due to temporary differences reflect noncurrent employee provisions and workforce restructuring plans for Euro 29 million, and other provisions that are not deductible for tax purposes, in the amount of Euro 2 million. Decreases relate non-current employee provisions in the amount of Euro 57 million and reversal of expenses that have not been tax-deductible in prior years in the amount of Euro 1 million.
The increases were due to temporary differences reflected non-current employee provisions and workforce restructuring plans for Euro 12 million and other provisions that are not deductible for tax purposes, in the amount of Euro 2 million.

Likewise, in 2022, "Other current operating expenses" in the accompanying income statement includes Euro 18 million of income relating to the reversal of the amounts accrued and not paid corresponding to Settlement 12 of financial year 2021, ultimately not issued by the Spanish Markets and Competition Commission ("CNMC") in relation to the financing and co-financing with the public administrations of the Social Bonus as a result of Supreme Court Ruling 202/2022 handed down in Appeal No. 687/2017 declaring the inapplicability of the system for financing the Social Bonus and the cost of electricity supply for consumers at risk of social exclusion established in article 45.4 of Law 24/2013, of 26 December, as being incompatible with Directive 2009/72/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 concerning common rules for the internal market in electricity (see Notes 8.2.2, 11.3, 16.4 and 16.5).
In 2022 and 2021, the details of financial income and expenses in the accompanying income statement are as follows:

Ruling 202/2022 of 21 February 2022, handed down by the Supreme Court in Appeal No. 687/2017, acknowledges the right of Endesa, S.A. to be compensated for the amounts borne to finance and co-finance the Social Bonus with the public administrations during the whole term that the third financing system of the Social Bonus is in force, so that all amounts paid in this regard are refunded to the complainant by discounting the amounts that, where appropriate, had been passed on to customers. Endesa, S.A. has not passed on, either directly or indirectly, the cost of financing to customers, hence founded arguments exist to justify its entitlement to a full refund of all the amounts borne in this regard. In particular, with regard to the regulated segment of the supply activity, the reference suppliers cannot pass on that cost to customers since their remuneration system does not allow it, hence the recovery of such amounts must be automatic.
For this reason, Euro 152 million was recognised in this item in 2022. In addition, Euro 16 million was recognised for late-payment interest under "Financial income" in the accompanying income statement (see Notes 8.2.2, 11.3, 16.3 and 16.4).
At 31 December 2022 and 2021, the guarantees and collaterals provided by Endesa, S.A. to the companies of its Business Group are as follows (see Note 18.2):

Article 40 of the corporate bylaws states that "the remuneration of the Directors will comprise the following items: a monthly fixed salary and subsistence allowances for each meeting of the governing bodies of the Company and its committees.
Maximum global and annual compensation, for the Board as a whole and including all aforementioned items, shall be established by the General Shareholders' Meeting and will remain in effect until it resolves upon an amendment thereof.
The Board itself shall be in charge of determining the exact amount to be paid in each accounting year, subject to the limits set forth by the General Shareholders' Meeting, as well as distributing such amount between the aforementioned items and between the Directors in the manner, time and proportion as freely determined, taking into account the functions and responsibilities entrusted to each Director, whether they belong to any of the Board's Committees and all other relevant objective circumstances.
The amount of said per diem shall be, at the most, the amount which, in accordance with the above paragraphs, is determined to be the fixed monthly allocation. The Board of Directors may, within this limit, establish the amount of the per diems.
The remuneration contemplated in the preceding sections, deriving from membership on the Board of Directors, shall be compatible with other remuneration, indemnity payments, contributions to insurance schemes or any other professional or labour earnings pertaining to the Directors for any other Executive duties of advisory and representation which, as the case may be, they perform for the Company other than those of collegiate supervision and decision-making characteristic of their status as Directors, which shall be subject to the appropriate applicable legal scheme.
Without prejudice to the above-mentioned remunerations, the Executive Directors remuneration may also consist of the transfer of Company shares, options over them or remuneration based on the value of the shares. The application of this remuneration model requires the agreement of the General Shareholders' Meeting, expressing, where appropriate, the maximum number of shares to be assigned during each financial year as part of this remuneration system, the strike price and the system used to calculate the strike price of share options, the value of the shares taken as a reference, when appropriate, the term of the remuneration plan and any other conditions deemed appropriate.
Members of the Board of Directors of Endesa, S.A. therefore received remuneration in their capacity as Directors of the Company.
— Chairman of the Audit and Compliance Committee: shall receive a monthly fixed remuneration of Euro 3,000 (gross) (in addition to the monthly fixed remuneration as member).

At 31 December 2022 and 2021, in terms of remuneration, the Company had not issued any guarantees to Senior Managers who are not also Executive Directors.
These types of clauses were approved by the Board of Directors after a report from the Appointments and Remuneration Committee ("CNR") and include cases of compensation for termination of the employment relationship and post-contractual non-competition covenant.
The contract signed with the Chief Executive Officer does not envisage compensation for termination in his position. Notwithstanding the above, when the Chief Executive Officer ceases in his position, his previous relationship will be automatically terminated, that is, his Senior Management contract, suspended since his appointment as Chief Executive Officer, in which case, due to the termination of his Senior Management employment relationship, Mr José Bogas Gálvez will be entitled to receive a net amount of Euro 6,951 thousand, this amount being the result of reducing the gross consolidated compensation in the amount for withholdings on account of personal income tax and, where appropriate, the Social Security contributions applicable on the date of their payment. This amount will be increased in accordance with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the previous year.
This remuneration is incompatible with the receipt of any other remuneration originating in the termination of the director's relationship. This net amount of Euro 6,951 thousand includes 2-year post-contractual agreement not to work for any competitors, included in the Chief Executive Officer's Senior Management contract.
This indemnification or guaranteed compensation is compatible with the Chief Executive Officer's defined benefit savings system. Termination in the event of death or retirement recognises the right of the Chief Executive Officer or his successors in title to the guaranteed compensation
With regard to Senior Management and Executive personnel, although this type of termination clause is not the norm, the contents of cases in which it arises are similar to the scenarios of general employment relationships.
The regime for these clauses is as follows:
| Clauses | Regime |
|---|---|
| Dissolution. | • By mutual agreement: termination benefit equal to an amount from 1 to 3 times the annual remuneration, on a case-by-case basis. Endesa's 2022-2024 Remuneration policy establishes that when there are new recruits to the Company or its Group in Senior Management, a maximum limit of two years of total and annual remunera tion accrued will be established for payments for termination of the contract, including amounts not previously consolidated from long-term savings systems and amounts paid under agreements for non-post-contractual competition, applicable in any case, and in the same terms, to contracts with Executive Directors. |
| • Upon the unilateral decision of the Executive: no entitlement to termination benefit, unless the decision to terminate the employment relationship is based on the serious and culpable breach by the Company of its obligations, the position is eliminated, or in the event of a change of control or any of the other causes for compensation for termination foreseen in Royal Decree 1382/1985 of 1 August. |
|
| • As a result of termination by the Company: termination benefit equal to that described in the first point. | |
| • At the decision of the Company based on the serious wilful misconduct or negligence of the Executive in dis charging his duties: no entitlement to termination benefit. |
|
| These conditions are alternatives to those arising from changes to the pre-existing employment relationship or its termination due to early retirement for Senior Managers. |
|
| Post-contractual non competition clause: |
• In the vast majority of contracts, Senior Managers are required not to engage in a business activity in competi tion with Endesa for a period of 2 years; as consideration, the Executive is entitled to an amount equal to up to one hundred per cent of the annual fixed remuneration. |
At 31 December 2022 and 2021, Endesa had 10 Executive Directors and Senior Managers with guarantee clauses in their employment contracts.

To increase the transparency of listed companies, the members of the Board of Directors have disclosed, to the best of their knowledge, the direct or indirect stakes they and their related parties hold in companies with the same, analogous or similar corporate purpose as that of Endesa, S.A., and the positions or duties they perform therein.

In accordance with Article 229 of the Corporate Enterprises Act, members of the Board of Directors reported no situations of direct or indirect conflict with the interest of the Company in 2022.
Distribution by gender: At 31 December 2022, the Board of Directors of Endesa, S.A. comprised 12 Directors, five of which were female (11 Directors, four of which were female at 31 December 2021).
In 2022 and 2021, the Company had arranged third-party liability insurance policies for Directors and Senior Managers for a gross amount of Euro 1,772 thousand and Euro 1,550 thousand, respectively. This insures both the Company's Directors and employees with management responsibilities.
In 2022 and 2021 there were no damages caused by acts or omissions of the Directors that would have required use to be made of the third-party liability insurance premium held through the Company.
Endesa's long-term variable remuneration is based on long-term remuneration schemes, known as "Loyalty and Strategic Incentive Plans", aimed primarily at strengthening the commitment of employees, who occupy positions of greater responsibility in the attainment of the Group's strategic targets. The Plan is structured through successive triennial programs, which start every year from 1 January 2010. Long-term remuneration accrued in 2022 (2020- 2022 Loyalty Plan) carries a deferral of the payment. Specifically, in 2023 30% of the incentive will be paid and the remaining 70% in 2024. In order for payment to be made, the Executive Director will need to be in active service (only in case of retirement or termination of a fixedterm contract is payment envisaged for completed incentives for which payment is pending and will be made on the corresponding date).
On 5 May 2020, the Ordinary General Shareholders' Meeting of Endesa, S.A. approved a long-term variable remuneration plan called "Strategic Incentive Plan 2020- 2022" that aims primarily to reward the contribution to the sustainable compliance of the Strategic Plan of the people who hold the greatest responsibility, including the Company's Executive Directors. The main features of this plan are as follows:
| Main features | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| • The performance period will be 3 years, starting from 1 January 2020. | ||||
| Strategic Incentive Plan 2020-2022. |
• The Plan provides for the allocation of an incentive comprising the right to receive: (i) a number of ordinary shares of Endesa, S.A. and (ii) a cash amount, referenced to a base incentive target, subject to the conditions and possible variations under the Plan mechanism. |
|||
| • The Plan envisages a deferred payment: 30% of the incentive will be paid in the year following the end of the Plan, and the remaining 70%, where applicable, will be paid 2 years after the end of the Plan. |
With respect to the total incentive accrued, the Plan envisages up to 50% of the target incentive to be disbursed entirely in shares.
The amount of money to be paid is calculated as the difference between the total amount of the accrued incentive and the share payable in shares.
The accrual of the "2020-2022 Strategic Incentive" is linked to the fulfilment of 3 objectives during the performance period:
| Targets | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Performance of the average Total Shareholder Return (TSR) of Endesa, S.A. in relation to the performance of the average TSR of the Eurostoxx Utilities index, selected as the benchmark for the peer group. This parameter will be weighted at 50% of the total incentive. |
|||
| Accrual of 2020-2022 Strategic Incentive. |
2. Target for the cumulative Return on Average Capital Employed (ROACE)(1) during the accrual period. Endesa's cumulative ROACE(2) target represents the relationship between cumulative Ordinary Profit from Operations (Ordinary EBIT) and the cumulative average Net Capital Invested (Average NCI)(3), during the 2020-2022 period. This parameter will be weighted at 40% of the total incentive. |
||
| 3. Reduction of Endesa's carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. This parameter will be weighted at 10% of the incentive. |
(1) Return On Average Capital Employed" (ROACE) (%) - Ordinary Operating Income (Ordinary EBIT) / Average Net Capital Invested (Average NCI).
(2) Ordinary Operating Income (Ordinary EBIT) (Millions of Euro) - Operating Income (EBIT) corrected for extraordinary unbudgeted purposes.
(3) Average Net Capital Invested (Average NCI) (Millions of Euro) = ((Equity + Net Financial Debt - Cash and Cash Equivalents) n + (Equity + Net Financial Debt - Cash and Cash Equivalents) n-1 ) / 2.
A threshold level beyond which the target is considered to have been met and 2 performance levels for targets that have been overachieved is established for each target: performance above the first level equals 150%; and performance beyond the second constitutes maximum achievement of 180%. Therefore, the level of variable remuneration would be between 0% and 180% of the base incentive.

On 30 April 2021, the General Shareholders' Meeting of Endesa, S.A. approved a long-term variable remuneration scheme known as the Strategic Incentive Plan 2021- 2023:
The purpose and characteristics of this plan are the same as those set forth in the "Strategic Incentive Plan 2020-2022" described in the previous section, while the performance period and objectives to which its accrual is tied differ.
Therefore, the accrual of the "Strategic Incentive 2021- 2023" is linked to the fulfilment of 4 objectives during the performance period, which shall be 3 years starting on 1 January 2021:
| Targets | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|

|||
| 2. Target for the cumulative Return on Average Capital Employed (ROACE)(1) during the accrual period. Endesa's cumulative ROACE target represents the relationship between cumulative Ordinary Profit from Operations (Ordinary EBIT)(2) and the cumulative average Net Capital Invested (Average NCI)(3), during the 2021-2023 period. This parameter will be weighted at 25% of the total incentive. |
||||
| 3. Net installed capacity for renewable sources, represented by the relationship between the net installed capacity for renewable sources and Endesa's total accumulated net installed capacity in 2023. This parameter will be weighted at 15% of the total incentive. |
||||
| 4. Reduction of Endesa's carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. This parameter will be weighted at 10% of the incentive. |
(1) Return On Average Capital Employed" (ROACE) (%) - Ordinary Operating Income (Ordinary EBIT) / Average Net Capital Invested (Average NCI).
(2) Ordinary Operating Income (Ordinary EBIT) (Millions of Euro) - Operating Income (EBIT) corrected for extraordinary unbudgeted purposes.
(3) Average Net Capital Invested (Average NCI) (Millions of Euro) = ((Equity + Net Financial Debt - Cash and Cash Equivalents) n + (Equity + Net Financial Debt - Cash and Cash Equivalents) n-1 ) / 2.
On 29 April 2022, the General Shareholders' Meeting of Endesa, S.A. approved a long-term variable remuneration scheme known as the Strategic Incentive Plan 2022-2024: The purpose and characteristics of this plan are the same as those set forth in the "Strategic Incentive Plan 2020- 2022" and the Strategic Incentive Plan 2021-2023 described in the previous section, while the performance period and objectives to which its accrual is tied differ.
Therefore, the accrual of the Strategic Incentive 2022- 2024 is linked to the fulfilment of 5 objectives during the performance period, which shall be 3 years starting on 1 January 2022:

||
| Accrual of 2022-2024 Strategic | 2. Target for the cumulative Return on Average Capital Employed (ROACE)(1) during the accrual period. Endesa's cumulative ROACE target represents the relationship between cumulative Ordinary Profit from Operations (ordinary EBIT)(2) and Net Capital Invested (NCI)(3) during the 2022–2024 period. This parameter will be weighted at 25% of the total incentive. |
|

On 24 February 2022, the Russian president announced "a special military operation" in Ukrainian territory, which led a conflict to break out between the two countries.
The invasion of Ukraine and the response of the international community has been felt in numerous areas, including raw materials markets, financial markets, the system of international sanctions for individuals and legal entities and the security of infrastructure and essential services.
Not only has the conflict persisted and its effects deepened, but there is also the risk of further escalation or expansion beyond the warring countries. Everything appears to suggest that the situation will continue and there is as yet no prospect of negotiations between the parties. Thus, the effects of the conflict, as well as the consequences of the embargoes imposed on Russia, continue to impact the world economy, and particularly Europe's own.
With regard to gas, Endesa's subsidiaries have no counterparties that might be affected by the sanctions, nor has it taken out gas supply contracts with Russia; hence, the Company's gas supply is secured. However, the gradual reduction of Russian gas export volumes towards Europe led to an ongoing rise in gas prices on European markets, particularly the Title Transfer Facility (TTF). In this regard, Endesa's subsidiaries have arranged positions on this index as a result of its strategy of hedging expected revenue from the sale of gas, as well as the costs of its long-term supply contracts, and the upward trend in the commodities markets has pushed up Endesa's greater liquidity needs arising from the net position subject to the margination of financial instruments on organised markets.
With respect to uranium (UF6), Endesa's subsidiaries have concluded contracts with various uranium suppliers to compensate the possible cessation of supply from a Russian supplier, having now secured its refuelling requirements for 2023 and 2024. Moreover, through Enusa Industrias Avanzadas, S.A., S.M.E., it analysed the impacts on orders for the supply of nuclear fuel from Russia from 2024, although this company is passing on the manufacturing orders to other suppliers.
Also as a result of the rise in raw material prices and the increase in inflation expectations, long-term Euro interest rates have risen sharply, which has therefore pushed up the cost of financing public and corporate debt.
Amid this unfortunate situation in the energy market, on 28 December 2022, Spanish Law 38/2022 of 27 December was published in the Official State Gazette, ushering in temporary energy taxes and taxes on credit institutions and lending institutions, creating a temporary solidarity tax on large fortunes, and amending certain tax regulations. Furthermore, on 28 December 2022, Royal Decree Law 20/2022, of 27 December was published, on measures in response to the economic and social consequences of the war in Ukraine and to support the reconstruction of the island of La Palma and other situations of vulnerability.
These difficulties have also increased with a higher level of technological risks, to which companies and authorities are exposed, which has likewise led to the adoption of adequate defence measures and maximum internal controls to protect digital infrastructures.
Lastly, a worsening of the crisis caused by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine may cause possible delays in supplies and the breach of contracts at supply chain level. Considering this scenario, and in line with the recent recommendations of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) of 14 March, 13 May, and 28 October 2022, Endesa and its subsidiaries have been keeping close track of the situation and ensuing crisis to manage the potential risks.
To this end, the analyses carried out are aimed at assessing the indirect impacts of the conflict on business activity, financial situation and economic performance, with particular reference to the generalized increase in raw material prices and, if applicable, the reduced availability of material supplies from conflict-affected areas:
The current macroeconomic environment is the result of a combination of pandemic-related effects, a sharp increase in inflation, rising interest rates, geopolitical risks, including those arising from the Russia-Ukraine conflict described in the previous section, and market and regulatory uncertainty.
In accordance with the above, and in line with the recommendations of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) dated 28 October 2022, Endesa monitors changes in macroeconomic, financial and commercial variables in the current environment, as well as regulatory measures in force, in order to update the estimate of possible impacts on the Financial Statements.
The analysis and impacts indicated in the preceding paragraphs are detailed in the following Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2022:

In relation to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, in fiscal year 2022 the effects of the conflict did not have a significant impact on EBITDA or EBIT of Endesa's subsidiaries, although the net position subject to margining in the organised markets in which Endesa and its subsidiaries arrange their financial instruments did have an impact on their liquidity position due to the upward trend in the gas market, with collateralisation requirements of Endesa's subsidiaries amounting to Euro 6,724 million at 31 December 2022.
In a scenario of constant change, also characterised by high regulatory uncertainty and a context of high volatile prices, Endesa and its subsidiaries constantly monitor the macroeconomic and business variables to obtain the best estimate of the potential impacts in real time, also taking into account the various recommendations of the national and supranational supervision bodies.

Endesa, S.A.'s future profits will essentially depend on the dividends from its subsidiaries, which are determined by the profits made by those companies.
The Company's Directors believe that the dividend policy to be established for the subsidiaries will be sufficient to cover Endesa S.A.'s operating and financial costs.
As a result of this economic-financial strategy, unless any exceptional circumstances arise, which will be duly announced, at a meeting on 22 November 2022 the Board of Directors of Endesa, S.A. approved the following shareholder remuneration policy for 2022-2025:
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Endesa's ability to distribute dividends to its shareholders depends on numerous factors, including the generation of profits and the availability of distributable reserves and its liquidity situation, and there can be no assurance as to what dividends, if any, will be paid in future years or what the amount of such dividends will be.

second is that the probability of a supply crisis in the countries most dependent on Russia will remain, and the third is that during the year many extraordinary energy policy measures will be taken at European and national level to address both crises.
In this context, during 2022 progress has been made in the processing of the legislative proposals of the "Fit for 55" package and adopted the "RePower EU Plan" that seeks to eliminate dependence on Russian gas as soon as possible. As the best summary of the implications of the advances in climate regulation, during COP27 the European Commission announced that the climate ambition would be raised above the 55% initially planned, to reach 57%.
With respect to Spain, the transposition of the objectives to combat Climate Change is developed in the following Plans:
| Plan | Description |
|---|---|
| National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan 2021-2030 (PNIEC). |
• This Plan, which is currently being reviewed, sets an ambitious target for renewable penetration, ex pecting 74% of total electricity generation to be renewable in 2030, consistent with a path towards a 100% renewable electricity sector by 2050, complemented by increasing storage capacity. One of the pillars of the Plan is improvement of energy efficiency, with a target improvement of 39.5% by 2030. |
| National Climate Change Adaptation Plan ("PNACC") 2021-2030. |
• It is the basic planning instrument to promote coordinated action against the effects of Climate Change in Spain. • Endesa has been working for more than a decade on various projects to advance in generating knowl edge and reducing vulnerability to Climate Change in all its facilities, sharing and exchanging impres sions on the results obtained and promoting continuous learning and climate resilience to optimize the management of its businesses. |
In In recent years, Endesa has oriented its strategy in line with the context of climate urgency and the call for increased ambition, setting ambitious targets through the successive Strategic Plans drawn up since the Paris Agreement was adopted. The results obtained by the Company and the decarbonization path it has been following in recent years demonstrate its ambition in terms of decarbonization, and its efforts to exceed its committed targets year after year. In 2021, through its Strategic Plan, Endesa committed itself to being a company with fully decarbonized generation by 2040, thus bringing the previous target forward by ten years. Endesa thus contributed to the goal set at group level by its parent company, Enel. The company thus accelerated the exit of its fossil fuel generation business, as well as the sale of gas, to become a 100% renewable electricity company that is not linked to emitting production technologies or fossil fuels.
In 2022 Endesa has adopted additional, more ambitious commitments, also motivated by the need for energy independence from fossil fuels, maintaining the path towards a completely decarbonized mix, extending the zero emissions target to all its marketed electricity, which includes both its own generation and that acquired from third parties.
Endesa, through the update of its Strategic Plan for the period 2023-2025, reaffirms its energy transition strategy, which is based on increasing the installed capacity of renewable sources, to reach a volume of renewable capacity of 13,900 MW in 2025 (this figure includes 241 MW of BESS and H2), 50% more than at the end of 2022. This will mean that 91% of electricity production on the Iberian Peninsula will be emission-free, up from 60% at the end of this year. The new renewable capacity that will be added to Endesa's energy mix during this period will amount to 4,400 MW, which will enable growth of 1,500 MW per year on average. Endesa in 7 years since the adoption of the Paris Agreement has reduced its emissions by 60% since 2015 (76% since 2005, when the Kyoto Protocol came into force).
As a consequence of the work and ongoing dialogue with stakeholders, and aware of the economic, social and environmental repercussions of its activities, Endesa has put in place a sustainable development strategy aligned with implementation its Strategic Plan that aims to generate sustainable value, based on the sustainability, environmental, biodiversity and human rights policies approved by its Board of Directors. It promotes initiatives that contribute to a fairer, healthier and more equal society and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), particularly Goals 7 (Affordable and clean energy) and 13 (Climate action). Endesa believes that the transition to a carbon-neutral economy by 2050 is technologically possible, economically viable and socially necessary.
Endesa promotes the transparency of its disclosures on Climate Change and works to make visible to its stakeholders that it is addressing Climate Change with
Endesa is aware of the effects that Climate Change has on its business and integrates this vision not only as an element in its environmental and climate management policy, but as a major component in decision-making at business level, and the determination of its strategic plans. To address this, Endesa integrates its Climate Change action plan into its Strategic Plan. In this regard, Endesa's Strategic Plan is oriented and prepared based on the fight against Climate Change, and is approved each year by the Board of Directors, and developed and implemented by the Company's Senior Management. Specifically, the Chief Executive Officer is the most responsible for the execution of the Company's Strategic Plan and therefore for the Company's climate strategy.
Endesa establishes its strategic plans taking into account geopolitical, regulatory and technological macro tendencies, with particular emphasis on the markets in which it operates, and considering the risks and opportunities it faces (taking into account operational, technological, market and transition aspects, and physical risks, among others).
The Board of Directors, in addition to its competencies in the approval of the Strategic Plan that integrates the Climate Change Action Plan, has the competencies to determine the risk control and management policy, including Climate Change risks. However, as a further demonstration of its firm and unavoidable commitment in this area, in February 2022 a modification of the Board of Directors Regulations was approved to expressly include the competencies of the governing body in the area of Climate Change.
The Appointments and Remuneration Committee ("CNR") is responsible, inter alia, for informing and/or proposing the appointments of Directors and the Remuneration Policy to the Board of Directors for submission to the General Shareholders' Meeting. This Committee proposes to the Board of Directors of Endesa, S.A. and monitors carbon dioxide (CO2) emission reduction targets linked to the variable remuneration of the Executive Directors. Endesa has an incentive system in place for its Executives related to the Company's performance in Climate Change management. To date, the Long-Term Incentive Plan, whose participants are Endesa's Executive Directors, as well as Executives whose participation is considered essential in the achievement of the Strategic Plan, establishes for them the following objectives directly related to the management of Climate Change:
| Targets | Description |
|---|---|
| Net installed renewable energy capacity. |
• The relationship between Endesa's net installed renewable capacity and its total net cumulative installed capacity for a particular period. This parameter is weighted as 15% of the total incentive. |
| Carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction targets. | • CO2 emission reductions, calculated as the reduction in specific CO2 (gCO2/kWh) of Endesa for a specific period. This is defined as the ratio between the absolute carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Endesa's electricity generation and its net total production for that year. This parameter is weighted as 10% of the total incentive. |
These objectives are reviewed annually, with each longterm incentive plan, with the latest objective set at the end of this Management Report being that of the 2022- 2024 Plan (see Note 18.3.5. Share-based payment schemes tied to the Endesa, S.A. share price, in the Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2022).
The Nomination and Compensation Committee also has among its functions to establish a welcome program for the orientation of new Board Members, as well as programs to update knowledge when circumstances make it advisable. In this regard, it is worth mentioning the session organized during 2022 for the Sustainability and Corporate Governance Committee for an update on Climate Change.
The Audit and Compliance Committee ("CAC") is responsible for overseeing and monitoring the preparation and presentation of financial and non-financial information, auditor independence and the effectiveness of the internal control and risk management systems. In the area of risk management, the risk control and management model implemented at the Company, which expressly includes the risks associated with Climate Change, is aligned with international standards, following a methodology based on the three-line model.
The Company has established a Sustainability and Corporate Governance Committee with responsibility for ensuring the strictest compliance with, and implementation of, actions and strategies to combat Climate Change. The main duty of this Committee is to advise the Board of Directors of Endesa, S.A. on supervision and monitoring of issues related to the environment, including Climate Change. Its competencies include reviewing the Company's environmental policies, supervising the objectives included in the Sustainability Plan, periodically evaluating the degree of compliance therewith and reviewing and reporting the Statement of Non-financial Information Statement to verify that its content is in line with Endesa's Sustainability Plan, and that it includes information on the Company's risks and objectives regarding Climate Change, prior to its review and report by the Audit and Compliance Committee and its subsequent formulation by the Board of Directors of Endesa, S.A.
In the modification of the Regulations of the Sustainability and Corporate Governance Committee in February 2022, the Committee's competencies in the area of Climate Change have been reinforced, expressly including its responsibility in the periodic review of Climate Change policies, as well as in verifying that the Statement of Nonfinancial Information includes information on the Company's risks and objectives in the area of Climate Change. During the year 2022, issues related to Climate Change have been discussed in 4 of the 5 meetings of the Sustainability and Corporate Governance Committee.
Endesa promotes a model based on the use of renewable energies, smart grids, efficient energy storage and the promotion of demand electrification as vectors for competitive and efficient decarbonization.
To ensure the success of the company's commitment to conduct its business in harmony with nature, Endesa works on four fronts that together address its main impacts:
| Action fronts | Description |
|---|---|
| Climate Action. | • Climate action: establishes the strategy, work plans and objectives for the reduction of emissions and the fight against Climate Change, based on solid growth in renewable gener ation, a broad portfolio of energy products and services of value for our customers, and the digitalization of distribution networks. |
| Just Transition. | • A just and inclusive transition of shared value with society and aligned with the objectives of the Paris Agreement. |
| Protection of Biodiversity and Natural Capital. | • To integrate biodiversity conservation and the preservation of natural capital into decision making. |
| Circular Economy. | • To integrate the sustainable use of resources by increasing the life of its assets and reducing the use of raw materials and waste generation. |
One of Endesa's fundamental strategic pillars is the energy transition towards the total decarbonization of electricity generation, foreseeing the complete cessation of coalfired power generation in 2027. After the closure in 2020 of the coal-fired power plants of Compostilla (1,052 MW of installed capacity), Teruel (1,098 MW), and Litoral de Almería (1,120 MW) in 2021, in September 2022 Endesa will close the coal-fired power plants in September 2022. 120 MW, in September 2022 a proposal has been received for a resolution to close two of the four groups of the As Pontes thermal power plant, which represent a total of 702 MW, conditioning the closure of the other two groups to power availability variables of the electricity system, and also leaving groups 3 and 4 of the Alcudia thermal power plant, which would operate a maximum of 500 h/year from 17 August 2021 as a back-up element of the island of Mallorca's electricity system.
Along with the closure of the main greenhouse gases emitting centers, an important growth in renewable generation is being undertaken. Endesa's development and management of renewable energies in Spain is carried out through Enel Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE) (100% owned by Endesa).
In 2022 In 2022, Endesa has increased its renewable power capacity by 904 MW to 9,293 MW, of which 4,746 MW correspond to large hydro, 2,882 MW correspond to wind power and 1,665 MW to solar photovoltaic.
Endesa, through the Enel Group to which it belongs, participated in a working group to develop specific recommendations to support the implementation of the "Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures" (TCFD) guidelines regarding the use of scenarios for conducting analyses. The company has been involved in several scenario analysis initiatives, sharing its expertise to support an increasingly widespread and transparent implementation of these practices in a growing number of companies.
As part of the scenario definition process, medium and longterm trends were identified and analyzed in depth, providing an overview of the current context and macro trends, scenario drivers and expected impacts on the energy sector. The work carried out is considered a reference for defining actions aimed at orienting, preventing and adapting to changes and evolutions in the main businesses, as well as taking advantage of the opportunities associated with them.

Benchmarking external scenarios is a useful starting point for building robust internal scenarios. There are many global, national and regional energy transition scenarios published by different agencies and designed for multiple purposes, from government planning to supporting business decisionmaking processes. The benchmarking activity consists of the analysis of scenarios prepared by organizations in order to compare the results in terms of energy mix, emission levels and technology options, and to identify for each of them the main drivers of the energy transition.
The activity of comparative analysis of energy transition scenarios is carried out in 3 steps:
The scenario analysis, beyond the analysis of reports and databases, is reinforced by a constant dialogue with the analysts of the main agencies that design the scenarios.
The global energy scenarios are classified by scenario categories, depending on the level of climate ambition:
| Scenario Families | Description |
|---|---|
| Current "Business as Usual" policies. |
• Energy scenarios based on current policies. They provide a conservative benchmark for the future, representing the evolution of the Energy System without additional climate and energy policies. These scenarios fall short of meeting the Paris Agreement targets. |
| Aligned with the Paris Agreement "Paris Aligned". |
• Energy scenarios aligned with the Paris Agreement, i.e. including an objective of limiting the overall increase in global average temperature to well below 2°C compared to pre-industrial levels. To achieve this objective, the scenarios in this category consider new and ambitious policies to boost the electrification of energy end uses, as well as the development of renewables. |
| More ambitious goal of the Paris Agreement "Paris Ambitious". |
• Global energy scenarios that establish a transition to 0 net Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions in 2050, consistent with the most ambitious objective of the Paris Agreement, i.e. achieving a global average temperature increase of no more than 1.5°C, considering various probability ranges. |
This classification of scenario categories is the result of work developed over the years and enriched in 2021 through collaboration with a working group coordinated by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), in which the Company participated. The project aimed to develop a common and transparent approach for the use of public scenarios by energy system companies and to support them in their use for the assessment of risks and opportunities related to Climate Change, as required by the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). The final output of this work, completed in August 2022, consists of a report that contextualizes the energy scenarios and describes the agreed definition of the different scenario categories, and an online platform that collects the variables of a broad set of scenarios.

Data collection covers all key metrics of the energy system, including but not limited to: primary energy, total and sectoral final energy, total and by technology electricity capacity, total and by technology electricity generation, hydrogen production, electric vehicle fleet, etc. The data analysis has enabled the agencies designing the scenarios of the key elements of the Business as usual scenarios to identify the drivers enabling an acceleration of the energy transition in the "Paris Aligned" and "Paris Ambitious" scenarios. By way of example, comparing the level of electrification of demand and the share of renewables in the different scenarios, there is a unanimous consensus among energy analysts that the main drivers for achieving more ambitious climate targets are precisely these variables, both in the medium and long term. Specifically, in scenarios compatible with a global average temperature increase of no more than 1.5°C, the level of electrification of demand rises above 50% in 2050, compared to 20% in 20211 ; and additionally, the share of renewable generation should reach at least 88% of the global electricity mix, compared to 28% in 20212 .
3. Preparation of a summary document of the analysis carried out, which serves as a support to Senior Management for the selection of the scenario framework.

1 IEA, 2022, WEO: 52%; IRENA, 2022, World Energy Transition Outlook: 51%.
2 IEA, 2022, WEO, Net Zero Scenario: 52%; IRENA, 2022, World Energy Transition Outlook: 51%.
An energy transition scenario represents how the contribution of various energy sources could evolve within a specific economic, social, regulatory and political context and depending on the technological options available. Social and macroeconomic assumptions determine demand, while regulatory and cost constraints define the optimal mix of technologies needed to meet that demand. Each scenario is associated with an evolution of greenhouse gases emissions.
Each energy scenario represents, approximately, a specific climate trajectory defined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and, consequently, a range of temperature increases estimated with a certain degree of probability over a given period of time.
In turn, various increases in global temperatures by the year 2100 (and thus various future global warming scenarios) also modify the trends of other climate variables (e.g., precipitation, wind, etc.), leading to changes in the intensity and frequency of physical manifestations (e.g., heat waves, extreme precipitation, etc.). It should be noted that these changes affect the entire planet, but the physical manifestations vary regionally and locally.
A global energy transition scenario is aligned with the Paris Agreement when the global outcome, in terms of greenhouse gases emission trends, can be associated with an increase in global average temperature in line with the objective of keeping the increase in global average temperature well below 2°C compared to pre-industrial levels" and continuing action aimed at limiting this increase to 1.5°C.
Endesa's scenarios are built with the objective of having a general framework to ensure consistency between the Energy Transition Scenarios and the Physical Scenario:
| Scenarios | Defining Aspects |
|---|---|
| Physical Scenarios. | • Issues related to future trends in climate variables (in terms of frequency and intensity of acute and chronic events) define the so-called "Physical Scenario". |
| Transition Scenarios. | • This scenario describes how energy production and consumption in the various sectors evolve in a specific economic, social, political and regulatory context. |
Endesa's scenarios are built within a general framework that ensures consistency between transition assumptions and climate projections. These scenarios allow analysing the impact of the modification of climate variables and the evolution of technological and regulatory aspects, in terms of:
| Description | ||
|---|---|---|
| Physical Phenomena. | • Acute Phenomena (Extreme Events) | • These are events of short duration but high intensity, such as torrential rains, hurricanes, etc. with a potential impact on facilities (e.g. damage and interruption of service). |
| • Chronic Phenomena | • Gradual changes in climatic conditions, such as increase in average temperature, sea level rise, etc. affecting the production of power generation plants, and consumption profiles. |
|
| Transition Aspects. | • Market, regulatory, technological and reputational aspects of the different sectors towards a green, decarbonized economy. |
Aspects related to the projections of climate variables, in terms of chronic phenomena and extreme events, define the physical scenarios, and aspects related to the industrial and economic transition to decarbonized solutions define the transition scenarios. These scenarios are constructed to provide a reference framework to ensure consistency between climate projections and transition scenarios.
Strategic planning based on the use of scenarios is based on the definition of alternative futures, defined on the basis of certain key variables, such as, for example, compliance with the objectives defined in the Paris Agreement, or technological development. Compared to a forecasting approach, scenarios offer greater flexibility and make it possible to prepare for risks and take advantage of opportunities.

The adoption of the aforementioned scenarios and their integration into the Company's day-to-day management, as recommended by the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), allow the risks and opportunities associated with Climate Change to be assessed.
The process that translates the conclusions from the application of the scenarios into useful information for industrial and strategic decisions can be summarized in 5 steps:

A Transition Scenario represents the possible evolution of the energy mix in a given economic, social and regulatory context, and according to the different technological options available. This corresponds to an evolution of Greenhouse Gases (GHG) emissions, and therefore to a certain temperature increase at the end of the century with respect to pre-industrial values. It should be noted that according to carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, the scenario that will materialize is not deterministic. "The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) always specifies for each climate scenario both the average values of global warming in 2100 and the very likely range (i.e. the interval formed by the 5-95 percentiles).
The main assumptions used to define the Transition Scenarios are as follows:
| Assumption | Description |
|---|---|
| Related to the Regulatory Context in terms of Climate Change, Energy Security and Sustainable Development. |
• Measures to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and fossil fuel consumption to increase energy efficiency, electrification of demand, and penetration of renewable electricity generation. |
| Related to the Macroeconomic and Energy Context (e.g., in terms of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Population and Commodity Prices). |
• They consider international references, such as the International Energy Agency (IEA), Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF), International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) (1), etc. |
| Related to the Technological Context. | • The evolution of energy production, transformation and consumption technologies, in terms of technical operating and cost parameters. |
| (1) IIASA data was used as a reference in relation to the demand for raw materials and the underlying population in the "Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs)", |
in which different scenarios are projected that describe the socio-economic changes and the changes in the regulatory framework, in line with the climate scenarios. The data taken from the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways are used, together with the internal modelling, to support long-term forecasts such as, for example, those related to electricity demand and raw materials prices.
During 2022 Endesa has revised the reference framework of the medium-long term Energy Transition Scenarios, based on the 3 main factors of uncertainty regarding macroeconomic and energy evolution: the achievement of the Paris Agreement objectives, the evolution of geopolitical tensions in relation to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and the management of the COVID pandemic. The reference scenario for long-term planning is a scenario that considers:
| Factors Uncertainty | |
|---|---|
| 1. Alignment with Paris. | • It envisages achieving the objectives of the Paris Agreement, i.e. that the global average temperature increase remains below 2°C compared to pre-industrial levels, which provides a higher level of climate ambition than "Business as usual",, but without considering that the global "Net Zero" target will necessarily be achieved in 2050, given the current level of ambition at the global level • Based on the Integrated Energy and Climate Plan 2021-2030 (PNIEC), which is currently under review, the reference scenario built considers a level of electrification of final energy consumption of 32% (compared to 24% in 2021), and a development of renewable capacity to achieve 80% coverage of electricity demand with renewable sources (compared to 53% in 2021). |
| 2. Local and Long-Term Conflict. | • It assumes that the geopolitical tensions exacerbated by the Russia-Ukraine conflict will have prolonged effects, resulting in an acceleration of electrification and the penetration of renewables, and an increased use of liquefied natural gas to increase the level of security of supply in the new context, especially at the European level. |
| 3. Coexistence with COVID. | • With low or endemic COVID, high vaccination rate and no need for mass confinement. |
As for the climate ambition that characterizes the reference scenario, it assumes an increasing electrification of demand and a higher penetration of renewables, following the policies implemented for energy security (e.g. "REPowerEU", "Inflation Reduction Act"). In this scenario, at a global level, governments, companies, organizations and citizens are effectively participating in the common effort to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions.
With respect to the possibility of assuming as a reference scenario for long-term planning that the most ambitious objective of the Paris Agreement is achieved, i.e., that the global average temperature is kept below 1.5 °C, there is some uncertainty that some countries will maintain inertial trajectories, delaying the decarbonization process to reach net zero emissions in 2050.
Taking into account the aforementioned premises in terms of the external context, Endesa has established a strategic approach aligned with the maximum ambition of the Paris Agreement targets, i.e. consistent with a global average temperature increase of 1.5 °C in 2100, as certified by the Science-Based Targets (SBTi) initiative for the targets set at Enel Group level, to which Endesa contributes. Endesa has set targets for 2040 for all of its electricity generation to be renewable, and for all of its electricity trading to be of renewable origin.
The assumptions on the evolution of raw material prices used in the reference scenario are consistent with external scenarios that achieve the objectives of the Paris Agreement. A maintained growth in the price of carbon dioxide (CO2) is considered until 2030, due to the progressive reduction in the supply of permits in the face of a growing demand, and a progressive decrease in the price of coal, due to a decrease in demand. As for gas, price tensions are expected to ease in the coming years as a result of a realignment between supply and demand at the global level. Finally, oil prices are expected to gradually stabilize, with peak demand expected around 2030.
The key assumptions concerning energy commodity prices and their evolution in 2022 and 2030 (long-term planning) are detailed below:

Shared Socioeconomic Pathways Scenario 5 (SSP 5) - Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 (RCP 8.5) is considered the worst-case scenario, having been used to assess the consequences of climate impacts in an extreme scenario. The Shared Socioeconomic Pathways Scenario 1 (SSP 1) - Representative Concentration Pathway 2.6 (RCP 2.6) is used to assess the consequences of climate impacts associated with an Energy Transition that achieves ambitious mitigation targets.
The work done with the Climate Scenarios considers both chronic phenomena and extreme events. For the description of specific complex phenomena, data and analyses carried out by private, public and academic entities are taken into account.
The scenarios used are global, but in order to define the effects at the level of the specific areas in which Endesa operates, they must be analysed at the local level.
Collaboration with the Department of Earth Sciences of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste (Italy) has made it possible to provide projections of the most important climatic variables with a grid resolution of between 12 and 100 km2 in length, for a time horizon between 2020 and 2050. The main variables considered are temperature, snow and rain precipitation and solar radiation. In order to achieve a more robust analysis, we are currently working on the basis of the regional climate model defined by the "Centre for Theoretical Physics" (ICTP) together with 5 other models selected from among the most representative of the reference climate models. Working with several models allows for more robust analyses based on average assumptions of the individual models. For some specific climate variables, such as wind gusts, we work with specialized entities in the field. In 2022, the analysis of projections for Spain has continued on the basis of the aforementioned set of models, which has provided a better defined representation of the physical scenarios.
The "Centre for Theoretical Physics" (ICTP) also acts as scientific support in the interpretation of any climate data considered.
The analysis of certain aspects depends not only on climate projections, but also on the characteristics of the territory, making more specific modeling necessary to achieve a high-resolution representation. To achieve this, in addition to the climate scenarios developed by the Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), "Natural Hazard" maps are used. Thanks to the use of these maps, it is possible to obtain, with a high spatial resolution, the expected frequencies for a series of climatic events such as storms, hurricanes or floods. The conclusions of this type of analysis using historical series are being used to optimize the strategy in the field of insurance. Work is currently underway to integrate these conclusions with the Climate Scenario projections.
Endesa has equipped itself with the tools and acquired sufficient knowledge to work independently with the raw data published by the scientific community, which provides a global and high-level view of the long-term evolution of the climatic variables of interest. The sources used are the outputs of the CMIP6 (https://www.wcrp-climate.org/ wgcm-cmip/wgcm-cmip6) and CORDEX (https://cordex. org/) climate and regional models. CMIP6 is the sixth assessment of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP), a project of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) and the Working Group of Coupled Modelling (WGCM) that provides raw climate data from global climate models, which are used to assess standard metrics on a global scale, with a resolution of about 100 km x 100 km. "Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment" (CORDEX) also falls under the scope of the "World Climate Research Programme" (WCRP), and provides regional climate projections with higher resolution.
The work carried out has led to the following conclusions regarding the territories in which Endesa operates:
● The phenomenon of torrential rains has been analysed, calculated as the average annual millimeters in a certain reference period 5. As can be seen in the image, which compares the period 2030-2050 with respect to the historical period 1990-2020, this extreme event will undergo variations throughout the territory even in the scenario "Shared Socioeconomic Pathways" 1 (SSP 1) - "Representative Concentration Pathway" 2.6 (RCP 2.6). Specifically, torrential rainfall will increase in the north,
5 Torrential rains are considered when the sum of daily rainfall is above the ninety-fifth percentile of the historical series in a given period.

and decrease in the southeast. In the other scenarios, torrential rainfall will decrease throughout the country (in the scenario "Shared Socioeconomic Pathways" 5 (SSP 5) - "Representative Concentration Pathway" 8.5 (RCP 8.5) the reduction also affects the northwest).
Percentage variation of torrential rainfall in the different scenarios - "Representative Concentration Pathway" (RCP) for the period 2030-2050 with respect to the historical series 1990-2020.

● In reference to fire risk, in all the scenarios studied, the area of Spain that will suffer the greatest increase, with respect to the historical period, in the number of days per year with a "Fire Weather Index" (FWI) 6 higher than 45, i.e., with extreme risk, is the central-southern area. This increase will be more pronounced in the most unfavorable scenarios "Representative Concentration Pathway" 8.5 (RCP 8.5) than in the scenario "Representative Concentration Pathway" 2.6 (RCP 2.6).
Percentage change in the number of days per year with FWI>45 for the different scenarios - "Representative Concentration Pathway" (RCP) (2030-2050) and with respect to the historical series (1990-2010).

6 Fire Weather Index: Meteorological index of fire risk, an indicator widely used internationally that takes into account aspects such as temperature, humidity, rainfall and wind to estimate fire risk.
With regard to heat waves, as already indicated in previously published analyses, they are expected to occur more generally and frequently in the 2030-2050 period, especially in the southern part of the country.
● The analysis of potential cooling and heating needs has been updated and refined, leading to the conclusion that in the period 2030-2050, compared to the period 1990-2020, Heating Degree Days (HDD)7 will be reduced in all scenarios, from -8% in the "Representative Concentration Pathway" scenario 2.6 (RCP 2.6) to -19% in the "Representative Concentration Pathway" scenario 8.5 (RCP 8.5). The results obtained also predict an increase in Cooling Degree Days (CDD)8 in all scenarios, from +34% in the "Representative Concentration Pathway" 2.6 (RCP 2.6) scenario to +61% in the "Representative Concentration Pathway" 4.5 (RCP 4.5) and +87% in the "Representative Concentration Pathway" 8.5 (RCP 8.5) scenario.

(1) The image on the right represents the distribution of the population in the same period (1990-2020) and in the same grid as the climate models, and shows the most populated areas that have the greatest weight in the calculation of the indicator at the country level.
With respect to rainfall, its variation in the basins of interest for Endesa's hydroelectric production has been analyzed and, after a preliminary analysis, the conclusions do not show significant variations when comparing the "Representative Concentration Pathway" 2.6 (RCP 2.6) scenario (2030-2050) with respect to the 1990-2009 period, presenting a general trend of a slight decrease.
It should be noted that Endesa has been a pioneer in the use of Climate Scenarios. In 2009 it launched its first project to analyze and assess the vulnerability of all its businesses and facilities at a global level, for which it was chosen by the former Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, Food and the Environment (now the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge ("MITECO")) as the representative of the Energy Sector for the ADAPTA I and II initiative.
After that, Endesa has continued to deepen in the subject, participating in multiple international initiatives and developing projects related to different areas.
8 Cooling Degree Days (CDD): annual sum of the difference between the indoor temperature (estimated at 21 ºC) and the outdoor temperature, considering all the days of the year that have an outdoor temperature greater than or equal to 24 ºC.

7 Heating Degree Days (HDD): annual sum of the difference between the indoor temperature (estimated at 18 ºC) and the outdoor temperature, considering all the days of the year that have an outdoor temperature less than or equal to 15 ºC.
By using integrated Energy System models, it is possible to quantify the country's demand. This level of detail makes it possible to discriminate the specific effects that a change in temperatures can have on energy needs.

• Quantified through Heating De gree Days (HDD) and Cooling De gree Days (CDD). • Impact on total energy demand, not just electricity, for cooling and heating needs in the resi dential and commercial sectors. |
• Associate Heating Degree Days (HDD) and Cooling Degree Days (CDD) consistent with Representative Concentration Pathway Scenario 2.6 (RCP 2.6) to the Paris and Accelerated Transition scenarios. • Associate the "Heating Degree Days" (HDD) and "Cooling Degree Days" (CDD) consistent with the "Representative Concentration Pathway" Scenario 4.5 (RCP 4.5) to the "Slower Transition" Scenario. • To further stress the analysis, the latter scenario has also been associated with a Representative Concentration Pathway Scenario 8.5 (RCP 8.5). |
(8) Strategic base scenario aligned with compliance with the Paris Agreement and with the emission reduction commitments assumed at the European level.
In line with current policies and the significant commitment of the European Union (EU) to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050:
"Accelerated Transition" scenario is 2.6% higher than in the "Paris" baseline scenario. If electricity demand for hydrogen production is not considered, the total electricity demand differential is -1.6% in the Slower Transition scenario and remains unchanged in the Accelerated Transition scenario, because the electricity demand for green hydrogen in both scenarios is equivalent to that considered in the Paris scenario, changing only the speed of technology penetration.
Average effect on electricity demand (2031-2050) of the 3 Transition Scenarios together with the Physical Scenarios "Representative Concentration Pathway" 2.6 (RCP 2.6) and "Representative Concentration Pathway" 4.5 (RCP 4.5).
Transition Scenario "Paris" and Physical Scenario "Representative Concentration Pathway" 2.6 (RCP 2.6) to "Slower Transition" Transition Scenario and "Representative Transition Scenario "Slow Transition" and Physical Scenario "Representative Concentration Pathway" 4.5 (RCP 4.5)

Transition Scenario "Paris" and Physical Scenario "Representative Concentration Pathway" 2.6 (RCP 2.6) to "Accelerated Transition" Transition Scenario and "Representative Concentration Pathway" Physical Scenario 2.6

In order to determine the impact of temperature on the Transition Scenarios and, at the same time, to widen the range of hypotheses related to Climate Change, a sensitivity analysis has been carried out associating the "Slower Transition" Scenario to the "Representative Concentration Pathway" Scenario 8.5 (RCP 8.5) instead of the "Representative Concentration Pathway" 4.5 (RCP 4.5). Assuming an additional temperature increase, under equal Energy Transition conditions, leads to a lower demand variation of about 0.4% for temperature effect, and -2.4% in total.
Endesa promotes a reporting model based on transparency, with the aim of making it clear to stakeholders that its commitment and ambition in the fight against Climate Change is firm, decisive and realistic.

The current scenario of energy crisis, coupled with the scientific evidence that annually reminds us that the window of opportunity to keep the temperature increase below 1.5 ºC is closing, puts the implementation of climate action to the test. A context that evidences the need to accelerate decarbonization, and in which companies must rise to the occasion and make significant changes in their operations, promoting sustainable transformation plans.
Endesa, as an electric utility, plays a crucial role in the energy transformation and is prepared to address the climate challenges that lie ahead. To this end, it has launched the 2023-2025 Strategic Plan, which updates its commitment to the Energy Transition to become a totally
Endesa's ETS emissions under the EU ETS
(European Union Emissions Trading Scheme) (Millions of tCO2)
emission-free company in its electricity generation and energy trading (electricity and gas) by 2040. The Plan places decarbonization at the center of Endesa's strategy, and confirms an ambitious emissions reduction pathway, thus enabling its alignment with the 1.5 ºC Scenario of the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) for the Electricity Sector.
Again, Endesa closes 2022 consolidating the cumulative reduction of emissions, in 6 years since the adoption of the Paris Agreement it has reduced its emissions by 60% since 2015 (76% since 2005, when the Kyoto Protocol came into force) as shown in the graph below:

Endesa has been calculating and verifying its Carbon Footprint voluntarily since 2009. This process includes:
Endesa has had its Carbon Footprint registered since 2013 and has demonstrated a reduction path of its emissions, according to the criteria established by the Spanish Climate Change Office.
During 2022, Endesa has verified its Carbon Footprint for 2021 and has published the corresponding report https:// www.endesa.com/content/dam/endesa-com/home/ prensa/publicaciones/otraspublicaciones/documentos/ huella-de-carbono-2021-es.pdf.
The Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge (MITECO) has once again recognized the efforts and results already obtained by Endesa in its 2021 Carbon Footprint, awarding for another year the triple seal of the Carbon Footprint Registry granted by the Spanish Climate Change Office to those organizations committed to calculating, reducing and offsetting their emissions..

Endesa is constantly working to advance along the path defined to become a company with completely decarbonized generation and commercialization activities by 2040, progressively increasing its ambition to reach the defined objective. Proof of this is the reduction in Endesa's Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions in recent years (49% reduction compared to 2017), even exceeding the targets committed to in the different Strategic Plans.

Endesa's short, medium and long-term greenhouse gases (GHG) emission reduction targets are as follows:
| Time horizon | Year | Targets |
|---|---|---|
| Short Term | 2025 | • Scope 1 specific greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the electricity generation process: 145 (gCO2e/kWh) (~-67% compared to 2017). • Scope 1 and 3 specific GHG emissions from electricity trading (electricity generation process plus electricity purchases from the market): 140 gCO2eq/kWh). |
| Medium Term | 2030 | • Scope 1 specific greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from electricity generation process: <95 gCO2eq/kWh) (~-80 % compared to 2017). • Scope 1 and 3 specific GHG emissions from electricity trading (electricity generation process plus electricity purchases from the market): <90 gCO2eq/kWh). |
| Long Term | 2040 | • Total decarbonisation of electricity generation without using carbon dioxide (CO2) offsetting instruments. |
In 2021, Endesa made a commitment to become a company with a totally emission-free generation mix by 2040. With the definition of the 2023-2025 Strategic Plan, it increased its ambition by additionally establishing an integrated target for electricity generation and marketing, so that by 2040 all electricity marketed will also be emission-free. Ninety percent of the investment envisaged in the Plan is directly related to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and more than 80 percent is aligned with the European Union's Taxonomy.
Endesa's strategy, which has been implemented through its 2023-2025 Strategic Plan, responds to the current climate urgency and defines a decarbonization pathway aligned with the 1.5 ºC target that covers the main direct and indirect emissions. Endesa thus contributes to the goal certified by the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) at Group level by its parent company, Enel. The company thus accelerates the exit of its fossil fuel generation business, as well as the sale of gas, to become a 100% renewable electricity company and without being linked to emitting production technologies or fossil fuels, additionally setting intermediate emissions targets for the years 2025 and 2030.
It should also be noted that, following the "Science Based Target initiative" (SBTi) methodology for setting emission reduction targets and assuming Scope 2 accounts for less than 5% of emissions (Scope 1 + 2), no reduction target has been set for Scope 2 emissions as they are not considered material.
Regarding the rest of the emissions, as part of the "Science Based Target initiative" (SBTi) certified at Enel Group level, Endesa aims to become "NET Zero" in 2040. In keeping with the aspiration to reach 0 emissions, the use of neutralization instruments will eventually be considered for those emissions for which there is no emission-free technological solution.
In fiscal year 2022, more than 680 institutional investors with assets worth USD 130 billion, and more than 280 large clients with USD 6.4 trillion in purchasing volume have urged companies to disclose their performance on environmental impacts, risks and opportunities through the CDP platform on Climate Change, water security and forests. This year, more than 19,000 companies and 1,100 companies from cities, states and regions have responded to the proposed questionnaires disclosing their environmental impacts.
Endesa has participated since 2006 in the "CDP Climate Change" initiative, the most prestigious index on Climate Change, which provides global information on the management of risks and opportunities identified by the world's largest companies.
Endesa, in the year 2022, has renewed its "Leadership" rating for the sixth consecutive year.

Information on Endesa, S.A.'s General Risk Control and Management Policy is included in Note 13 to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.
The General Risk Control and Management Policy lays down the basic principles and the general framework to control and manage risks of any kind that could affect the attainment of targets, ensuring that they are systematically identified, analysed, assessed, managed and controlled within the risk levels set. The General Risk Control and Management Policy identifies the different types of risk, financial and non-financial (including operational, technological, legal, social, environmental, political and reputational, including those related to corruption) faced by the Company, including among the financial or economic risks, any contingent liabilities and other risks not included in the statement of financial position.
The aim of the General Risk Control and Management Policy is to guide and direct the series of strategic, organisational and operational actions that allow the Board of Directors at Endesa, S.A. to accurately define the acceptable level of risk, permitting managers in the different lines of business, staff and service functions to maximise the Company's profitability, preserve or increase its equity and guarantee that this is achieved above certain levels, preventing uncertain and future events from adversely affecting the achievement of the profitability targets defined, or the corresponding operations, sustainability, resilience or reputation in a sustained way over time, providing shareholders with adequate guarantees and safeguarding their interests, in addition to the interests of customers and other stakeholders.
The General Risk Control and Management Policy is implemented and supplemented with other specific risk policies of business lines, staff and service functions, as well as with the limits established for optimum risk management in each one of them.
The General Risk Control and Management Policy materialises through an Internal Control and Risk Management System, which comprises an organisation, principles, a regulatory system and a risk control and management process.
The Internal Control and Risk Management System (SCIGR) follows a model that is based: firstly, on the ongoing study of the risk profile, applying current best practices in the energy or reference sector in relation to risk management, based on the criteria of uniform measurement for the same type of risk, and separation of risk controllers and managers; and, secondly, on ensuring the connection between risks assumed and the resources required to operate the business while ensuring an adequate balance between the risk assumed and the targets defined by the Board of Directors at Endesa, S.A.
The risk control and management model implemented at the Company is aligned with international standards, following a methodology based on the three-line model.
The Internal Control and Risk Management System is organised through independent risk control and management functions, which ensure an adequate separation of functions. The main governing bodies in the risk control process are as follows:

2 Financial Statements 3 Management Report
| Main Governing Bodies | Description |
|---|---|
| Risk Committee. | 1. Oversees the management and monitoring of all risks, specifically including tax risks, and excluding those of a criminal nature and those related to the Internal Control Information System (SCII), transferring the results of its deliberations and conclusions to the Audit and Compliance Committee (ACC). |
| Transparency Committee. | 2. It is chaired by the Chief Executive Officer and made up of Endesa's main Executives, including all the members of the Executive Management Committee together with other members of Endesa's management directly related to the preparation, verification and disclosure of financial and non-financial information. Its main objective is to ensure compliance and correct application of the general principles of financial and non-financial information (confidentiality, transparency, consistency and responsibility), to evaluate the facts, transactions, reports or other relevant aspects that are communicated to the outside world, as well as to determine the form and deadlines for presenting public information. Likewise, the Transparency Committee is the Endesa Management body that evaluates the conclusions on the compliance and effectiveness of the controls of the Internal Information Control System (SCII) and the internal controls and procedures for disclosure of information to the outside, formulating corrective and/or preventive actions in this regard. The conclusions of the Transparency Committee are transferred to the Audit and Compliance Committee (ACC). |
| Oversight Committee of the Criminal Risk Prevention and Anti-Bribery Model. |
3. This is the collegiate body with autonomous powers of initiative and control with regard to criminal risks, which is directly supervised by the Audit and Compliance Committee (ACC). It supervises the compliance and updating of the Model to prevent criminal risks from which Endesa, S.A. may derive criminal liability. |
The General Risk Control and Management Policy defines the Internal Control and Risk Management System as an inter-linked network of legislation, processes, controls and IT systems, in which global risk is defined as the risk resulting from the complete vision of all risks to which it is exposed, taking into account the mitigating effects between the various risk exposures and risk categories, enabling the risk exposure of the Company´s different units to be consolidated and evaluated, and the
corresponding management information to be drawn up for decision-making on risk and the appropriate use of capital.
The risk control and management process consists of identifying, assessing, monitoring and managing the different risks over time, and envisages the main risks to which the Company is exposed, both endogenous (due to internal factors) and exogenous (due to external factors):
| Risk Control and Management Process |
Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Identification. | • Its purpose is to generate the risk inventory based on the events that could prevent, degrade or delay the achievement of the objectives. The identification should include risks whether their origin is under the control of the organization or whether they are due to unmanageable external causes. |
|
| Evaluation. | • The objective is to obtain the parameters that allow the measurement of the economic and reputational impact of all risks for their subsequent prioritization. The evaluation includes different methodologies adjusted to the characteristics of the risk, such as, for example, the assessment of scenarios and the estimation of the potential loss based on the evaluation of the distributions of impact and probability. |
|
| Monitoring. | • The objective is the monitoring of risks and the establishment of management mechanisms to keep risks within the established limits, as well as to take the appropriate management actions. |
|
| Management. | • The objective is the execution of actions aimed at adjusting risk levels to optimal levels and respecting, in any case, the limits set. |
Endesa, S.A. constitutes the central element of the system, from which other documents and specific policies arise, for example, the Tax Risk Management and Control Policy or the Criminal Regulatory and Anti-Bribery Compliance Policy, which are approved by Endesa, S.A.'s Board of Directors, in which the risk and control catalogues are defined.
In addition, in view of the growing interest in the management and control of the risks to which companies are exposed, and given the complexity of their identification from a comprehensive point of view, it is important for employees to take part at all levels of this process. A risk mailbox has now been created for employees to help identify market risks and come up with suggestions for measures to mitigate them, thereby complementing the existing top-down risk management and control systems and mailboxes and specific procedures to send communications in connection with breaches of ethical conduct and criminal, tax and employment risks.
The information regarding Endesa's risk management and the use of derivative financial instruments is provided in Notes 13.1 and 14 to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.
The Annual Corporate Governance Report describes in Section E. "Risk Control and Management System" the risk control and management systems of Endesa, S.A., and forms an integral part of this Management Report (see Section 14 Annual Corporate Governance Report of this Management Report).
For further information on risk management, see the General Risk Control and Management Policy published on the Company's website (https://www.endesa.com/es/ accionistas-e-inversores/gobierno-corporativo/politicascorporativas.html).
Endesa classifies the risks to which it is exposed into 6 categories: Strategic, Financial, Operational, Compliance, Corporate Governance and Culture and Digital Technology related.

The risk catalog serves as a reference for all areas of the Company involved in management processes. The adoption of a common language facilitates the mapping and organic representation of risks within Endesa, thus allowing the identification of those that impact the Company's processes and the functions of the organizational units involved in their management. Section 7.5 of this Management Report sets out the risks that may affect the Company's activity..
EEndesa, S.A. is aware that sustainable compliance with its corporate responsibilities should also include constantly striving for excellence in terms of business ethics in all decision-making processes. This must be understood in a corporate environment that strictly complies with the most-advanced national and international standards, practices and principles in this area, as a basic pillar of company operations.
Organic Law 5/2010, of 22 June, amending Organic Law 10/1995, of 23 November, of the Criminal Code not only included offences applicable to legal persons, but also referred to the need to establish surveillance and control measures to prevent and detect them. This legal system was reformed by Organic Law 1/2015, of 30 March, detailing the requirements for management and control systems that allow legal persons to prove their diligence in the field of criminal prevention and detection. Organic Law 1/2019, of 20 February, newly amended Organic Law 10/1995, of 23 November, on the Criminal Code, to transpose European Union Directives in the areas of finance and terrorism and to address international matters. More recently, Organic Law 10/2022, of 6 September, on

the comprehensive guarantee of sexual freedom, has further modified certain aspects of the criminal liability of legal persons.
In line with these legal requirements, Endesa, S.A. has internal regulations that meet the need for adequate control and management systems for the detection and prevention of criminal behaviour.
This system comprises, mainly, the following standards applicable to Endesa, S.A.:
| Standards | Description |
|---|---|
| Criminal and Anti-Bribery Risk Prevention Model |
• Document that provides Endesa with a control system that prevents the commission of crimes within the company, in compliance with the provisions of the applicable regulations on criminal liability of legal entities. |
| Protocol in case of Authority Action under Article 31 Bis of the Penal Code. |
• Procedure for an adequate response in case of risk of criminal liability of any Endesa Company. |
| Code of Ethics. | • Document that sets out the commitments and ethical responsibilities, in the management of business and corporate activities, assumed by Endesa's collaborators, whether Directors or employees, of any kind, in these companies. |
| Zero Tolerance to Corruption Plan. |
• This document represents Endesa's firm commitment to the fight against corruption, and is the result of its adherence to the United Nations Global Compact. |
| Corporate Integrity Protocols. | • Protocol for conflicts of interest, exclusive dedication and commercial concurrence. • Protocol for accepting and offering gifts, presents and favors. • Protocol for dealing with public officials and authorities. |
These internal rules are supplemented, among others, by the Criminal Risk and Anti-Bribery Compliance Policy, which, together with those we have already mentioned, make up Endesa's Criminal and Anti-Bribery Compliance Management System. This is an integrated body of provisions that not only respects Spanish legal requirements in this area, but is also sufficient to meet the expectations reasonably placed on organisations that operate with the highest levels of commitment in advanced markets, such as Endesa, S.A.
At 31 December 2022, 720 employees had received training in anti-bribery policies and procedures (58%), compared to 540 employees (43%) at 31 December 2021. Since October 2017, Endesa, S.A.'s Criminal and Antibribery Compliance Management System has been accredited by AENOR, in accordance with UNE 19601 (Compliance Management) and UNE-ISO 37001 (Antibribery Management) Standards, which were successfully renewed on a periodic basis from that date, and which were in force at the date of preparation of the management report.
The Audit and Compliance Committee is responsible for checking the correct application of the "Criminal Regulatory and Anti-Bribery Compliance System", for which purposes it has the backing of the Supervision Committee, which is a collegiate body endowed with autonomous powers of initiative and control and independence in the exercise of its functions and whose powers and principles of action are established in its Regulations. The Supervision Committee reports solely and exclusively to the Audit and Compliance Committee ("CAC"), which has specific functions including for the prevention of criminal risks according to its Rules of Procedure.
Endesa has a Whistleblowing Channel as part of its Criminal Risk Prevention and Anti-Bribery System, through which it receives reports of breaches in relation to the prevention of criminal risks and bribery, among other issues. In 2022, the Company fully complied with all of the processes put in place to apply the Code of Ethics correctly.
Below are details of the number of reports of different types of breaches received by the Whistleblowing Channel, and the number of violations found to have occurred, indicating which of them related to corruption or fraud:

The quality and reliability of the financial and non-financial information that listed companies publish on the market is a critical element for the Company's credibility, which significantly affects the value that the market assigns it. Any dissemination of incorrect or low-quality financial or non-financial information could provoke a significant decrease in the Company's value, with the consequential detriment to shareholders.
The Internal Control Over Reporting System (ICRS) for financial and non-financial information is a part of the Company's internal control, comprising a comprehensive set of processes through which the company provides reasonable assurance with respect to the reliability of its internal and external financial and non-financial information. The Internal Control Unit of Endesa, S.A. is the area responsible for identifying the most relevant processes, activities, risks and controls of the Internal Control Over Reporting System considered material to provide reasonable assurance that the financial and nonfinancial information disclosed by Endesa, S.A. to the market is reliable and adequate.
The documentation of the processes that form part of Endesa's Internal Control Over Reporting System (ICRS) includes detailed descriptions of the activities relating to the financial and non-financial reporting process and their subsequent disclosure, including authorisation and processing, with the following basic objectives:
(typically related to completeness, validity, recognition, cut-off, measurement and presentation) or significant errors in non-financial information.
● Identification and categorisation of the controls in place to mitigate these risks.
Every six months, the Internal Control Over Reporting System (ICRS) is subject to an assessment process at Endesa, S.A., as part of which each control manager assesses both its design and its effectiveness. Within the model, an on-going verification process is additionally performed of the Internal Control Over Reporting System (ICRS) by an independent expert. The findings of both processes are reported to:
Endesa has been developing its Internal Control Over Financial Reporting System (ICFRS) methodology since 2020 to include sustainability and non-financial information, to have a single Internal Control Over Reporting System (ICRS). This ensures supervision of all processes and systems, risk identification and the design and implementation of adequate controls for Endesa, S.A.'s financial and non-financial information.
Endesa, S.A. has established a risk control and management process that enables it to obtain a complete vision of all the risks to which it is exposed, taking into account the mitigating effects between the various risk exposures and risk categories, and the corresponding management information to be drawn up for decision-making on risk and appropriate use of capital.
The Risk Committee supervises the management and monitoring of all the risks, specifically including tax risks, and excluding criminal risks and those relating to the Internal Control Over Reporting System. The mission of the Risk Committee is as follows:
| Committee | Mission | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| • Actively participating in drawing up the risk strategy and in important decisions regarding management of the same. |
|||
| • Ensure the proper functioning of the risk control and management systems and that all important risks that affect the Company are appropriately identified, managed and quantified. |
|||
| • Ensure that the Internal Control and Risk Management System appropriately mitigates the risks; | |||
| Risk Committee | • Ensure that Senior Management participates in strategic risk management and control decisions. | ||
| • Regularly provide the Board of Directors with a comprehensive view of current and foreseeable risk exposure. |
|||
| • Ensure coordination between the risk management units and the units responsible for its control. | |||
| • Encourage a culture in which risk is a factor to take into account in all decisions and at all Company levels. |
The Risk Committee supervises is convened at least quarterly and meets to analyse the main results and conclusions related to risk exposure in Endesa, overseeing the management and monitoring of all risks. It reports its deliberations and conclusions to the Audit and Compliance Committee of Endesa, S.A.
The Risk Committee receives information regularly on the key risk-monitoring indicators and events relevant to risk management and control. The members of the Committee may convene meetings at any time to authorise or propose risk management strategies in the event of extraordinary or significant business.
The Risk Control Area is the area delegated by the Risk Committee to define the procedures and rules of the Internal Control and Risk Management System to ensure the adequate identification, definition, management and quantification of all risks that affect the Company in a homogenous and periodic manner and to monitor risk exposure and the control activities implemented.
In line with that stipulated in the procedures and internal operating instructions, the Risk Control area is tasked with preparing the following documents for the risks in their scope of application:
| Reports | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Risk Appetite Framework. | • Determines the main risk indicators, the levels of risk considered acceptable and the management and mitigation mechanisms. It is approved by the Board of Directors of Endesa, S.A. |
|
| Risk Map. • Provides a prioritised view of significant risks. It is approved by the Board of Directors of Endesa, S.A. |
||
| Monitoring reports. | • Ensure compliance with the limits set and the effectiveness of the mitigation measures to provide a response to the risks, the conclusions of which are reported regularly to the Audit and Compliance Committee. |
To carry out its functions, the Risk Control area is supported by other areas and committees that have specific and complementary risk control and management models and policies. Accordingly, for example, in the tax area, Endesa, S.A.'s Board of Directors has also approved a Tax Risk Management and Control Policy to guide and direct strategic, organisational and operating activities to enable Tax Affairs employees and the different departments at the organisation whose work involves the company's taxation, to attain the objectives set as part of the Company's Tax Strategy in terms of tax risk management and control.
Endesa is one of the listed companies and companies in the electricity sector most closely aligned with applicable best practices, according to a report by PWC following assessment of the performance of its internal risk control and management function at the end of 2021, thus complying with the regulation of the Audit and Compliance Committee ("CAC"), which indicates that a periodic assessment is to be carried out of the internal function of risk control and management by an independent external auditor to be selected by the Audit and Compliance Committee.
As the Parent of a group of companies, Endesa, S.A. is exposed to the same risks as the Endesa Group, as any risk occurring at a subsidiary will affect the value of Endesa, S.A.'s portfolio of investments and associated dividend payments. Endesa, S.A.'s activities are carried out against a backdrop in which outside factors may affect the performance of its operations and its earnings.
As a result of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the path of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has yet to run its full course, Endesa must contend with greater uncertainty and its business could be affected by adverse economic conditions in Spain, Portugal, the Eurozone and international markets, as well as by the regulatory environment.
In this environment of spiralling energy prices, high inflation and interest rate hikes, there are certain risks that are hard to predict or control, including regulatory changes in the electricity sector, fiscal impacts due to the introduction of temporary measures in the energy sector, cybersecurity, delays in delivering supplies and in honouring contracts, and greater restrictions on access to credit. These issues could add further pressure to the challenge of meeting the objectives in the Strategic Plan.
Prioritization of the main risks that may affect Endesa's operations, including those arising from the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, are summarised below:

(4) They relate to risks whose impact may be difficult to quantify economically (in general, high impact and probability, following the mitigation mechanisms implemented, very low or very difficult to determine).
Endesa's subsidiaries are subject to wide-ranging regulations on their tariffs and other aspects of their activities in Spain and Portugal. These regulations in many ways determine the manner in which Endesa performs its business and the revenues it receives from its products and services.
Endesa is subject to a complex set of laws and other regulations applied by both public and private bodies, including the Spanish Markets and Competition Commission ("CNMC"). The introduction of new standards and modifications to those already in effect could have a negative impact on Endesa's business, results, financial position and cash flows.
The European Union also establishes an action framework for member states which includes, among other things, objectives for emissions, efficiency and renewable energies.

The introduction of new requirements, or amendments to existing ones, could adversely affect Endesa's business activities, results, financial positions and cash flows if it cannot adapt and manage the resulting environment correctly.
Endesa has made a decisive commitment to the fight against Climate Change and decisions are, therefore, taken at the highest level of management. One of the main pillars of the Company's strategy is Climate Change, and Endesa, S.A.'s Board of Directors is responsible for its approval, and Senior Management of its development and implementation. In demonstration of this commitment, Endesa has updated its strategic plan for 2023-2025, in which it goes further along the path towards the decarbonisation of its generation mix and develops its offering of value-added services for deregulated customers, developing its distribution network as an integrating element for its other approaches.
The process of identifying risks and opportunities includes those related to Climate Change: transition risks, related to regulation, new technologies, changes in the market and reputation, and those related to potential physical impacts related to Climate Change.
In relation to Climate Change, risks are assessed based on established risk tolerance levels, considering: exposure (climate impacts that may affect facilities), sensitivity (potential effects and their consequences for businesses or facilities), and vulnerability (adaptive capacity to overcome Climate Change impacts considering financial, technological and knowledge requirements).
Climate Change and the energy transition will affect Endesa's activities. As recommended by the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), to identify the different types of risks and opportunities and their impact on the company's various businesses, Endesa has defined a reference framework. Risks are classified into physical and transitional risks as follows:
| Risks and opportunities related to Climate Change | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Transition risks. | • In reference to the energy transition to a more sustainable model, characterised by a progressive reduction in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, risks and opportunities have been identified linked to both the regulatory context and to trends in technological development, electrification and related market developments |
|||||
| Physical risks. | They are classified as acute (extreme events) and chronic. • Acute (extreme events): they occur as a result of extreme weather conditions. - These events expose Endesa to potential unavailability, of variable duration, in facilities and infrastructures, repair costs, impact on customers, etc. • Chronic: these are related to gradual and structural changes in weather conditions. The chronic change in weather conditions exposes Endesa to other risks and opportunities such as, for example, changes in the production regime of the different technologies, as well as changes in electricity demand. |
In line with the climate and transition scenarios adopted, changes in customer behaviour, industry strategies in different economic sectors and regulatory changes are beginning to be identified to define risks and opportunities. Endesa is committed to playing an active role in the transition. It therefore defines facilitating measures in its 2023-2025 Strategic Plan to make the most of the opportunities that arise, which are identified through scenario analysis. As a result, approximately 90% of the investments foreseen in the 2023-2025 Strategic Plan are aligned with one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The following is the reference framework defined for risks and opportunities that highlights the relationships between the physical and transition scenarios and the factors that influence Endesa's business:
| Reference framework | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scenario | Classification | Category | Time horizon | Risks and opportunities |
Management mode | |
| Physical. | Acute. | Extreme events |
From Short term (2023-2025)(1). |
Risk: Weather events that are extreme because of their intensity. |
Endesa adopts best practices to manage the recovery of the activity in the shortest possible time. With regard to risk management from the insurance point of view, the Company manages a "Loss Prevention" program for property risks, also aimed at assessing the main exposure factors associated with natural events. In the future, changes in climatic evolution that are expected to manifest themselves in the long term will also be considered in the evaluation. |
|
| Chronic. | Market. | From Non-current (2031-2050)(3). |
RRisk / Opportunity: Increase or decrease in electricity production and demand. |
Geographical and technological diversity makes it possible to mitigate the impact of variations (positive or negative) of a single variable. In order to adequately manage the impact of meteorological phenomena, Endesa implements weather forecasting activities, real-time monitoring and control of its facilities, and long-term climate scenarios to evaluate possible chronic variations in the availability of renewable resources. |
||
| Transition | Policies and regulation. |
From Short term (2023-2025)(2). |
Risk / Opportunity: Carbon dioxide (CO2) pricing and emissions policies; Energy Transition incentives; review of market design and permitting procedures and resilience regulation. |
Endesa minimizes its exposure to risks through the progressive decarbonization of its production facilities. Endesa's strategic actions allow it to mitigate potential risks and take advantage of the opportunities associated with the Energy Transition. Additionally, Endesa participates in the public processes of policy and regulation definition and in dialogue platforms with the different stakeholders. |
||
| Market | From Medium term (2026-2030)(2). |
Risk / Opportunity: Changes in the price of raw materials and energy; evolution of the energy mix; change in residential sector consumption, changes in the competitive situation in the market. |
Endesa maximizes opportunities thanks to a strategy oriented to the Energy Transition, a strong development of renewable production, and a clear commitment to the electrification of demand. Considering two alternative transition scenarios, Endesa evaluates the effects of the evolution of raw material prices, the penetration of renewables in the energy mix, and the electrification of demand. |
|||
| Products and services. |
From Medium term (2026-2030) (2). |
Higher margins and greater investment capacity as a result of the transition, considering the penetration of new technologies for the electrification of demand, and electric transportation, and distributed generation. |
Endesa maximizes opportunities thanks to a strong strategic positioning on new business and services. Additionally, and considering alternative transition opportunities scenarios, Endesa evaluates the impact of the different trends in terms of demand electrification. |
|||

Endesa maximizes opportunities thanks to a strong strategic positioning on electricity infrastructure. Considering alternative transition scenarios, and taking into account the trend in the penetration of electrification technologies, Endesa evaluates opportunities to scale solutions related to digitalization and grid resilience. |
(1) Short term (to 2025, corresponding to the Strategic Plan), in which sensitivity analyses can be performed based on the Strategic Plan presented to the markets
on 23 November 2022. (2) Medium term (to 2030, corresponding to the coverage deadlines of the National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan ("PNIEC")), in which it is possible to appreciate the effect of the Energy Transition.
(3) Long term (to 2050, the deadline for achieving climate neutrality), in which chronic structural changes at the climate level should begin to manifest themselves.
In reference to the risks and opportunities associated with the physical variables, and taking as a reference the scenarios defined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and based on the reference framework described in the previous section, the impact on electricity demand and on the different generation technologies is evaluated for the different categories of physical risks identified.

Chronic physical changes manifest themselves in the long term, without the scenarios used for the analysis showing evidence of significant changes before 2030, which could begin to be seen in the period from 2031 to 2050.
The main impacts as a consequence of chronic physical changes would be seen in the following variables:
| Variables | |
|---|---|
| Electricity demand. | • Variation of the average temperature level with potential effect (increase/decrease) on the electricity demand, when the demand for air conditioning changes. |
| Thermoelectric | • Variation of the average temperature level of water bodies with effect on thermoelectric production when cooling |
| production. | conditions change. |
| Hydroelectric | • Variation in the average level of rain and snow and of temperatures, with a potential increase and/or reduction of |
| production. | hydroelectric production. |
| Photovoltaic | • Changes in the average levels of solar radiation, temperature and rainfall with a potential increase and/or reduction in |
| production. | photovoltaic production. |
| Wind Power Production |
• Variation of the average wind regime level with potential increase and/or reduction of wind production. |
The impacts of the most significant chronic physical changes have been identified for each generation technology. Analysis has begun to ascertain the impact on their productivity, considering the facilities individually.
The table below shows the importance of the impact associated with the main chronic Climate Changes for Endesa's facilities and their corresponding priority in the analysis:

The intensity and frequency of acute physical phenomena and extreme events can cause significant unexpected damage to installations and potential consequences arising from service interruptions.
Extreme events (gales, floods, heat waves, cold waves, etc.) are characterised by their high intensity and infrequent occurrence in the short term, which increases in the longterm climate scenarios.
Accordingly, the risk associated with the occurrence of extreme events is currently being managed in the short term, while the methodology is being extended to longer time horizons (until 2050), in accordance with the climate scenarios selected (Representative Concentration Pathways 8.5, 4.5 and 2.6).

Endesa uses an established methodology for analysis of catastrophic risk to quantify the risk from extreme events. This methodology is used in the insurance area and in the reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)9 . This methodology can be applied to all analysable extreme events, such as gales, heat waves and floods. The following are considered for all types of natural disasters:

| Probability of the event (Hazard). |
• The theoretical frequency in a given period of time: the return period. • Risk maps are prepared that associate the estimated frequency of the various types of extreme events with each geographical point on the map. |
| Vulnerability. | • This indicates the value lost or affected as a result of the extreme event, in percentage terms. This enables consideration of the impacts on facilities and continuity of production and distribution services. • Endesa analyses the vulnerability of its facilities, enabling it to prepare a matrix relating the type of installation to the extreme events that might significantly affect them. |
| Exposure. | • This is the set of economic values in Endesa's portfolio that could be impacted significantly in the event of catastrophic natural events. • Specific analyses are carried out for this parameter for the various production technologies, the distribution infrastructures and the services provided to customers. |
The combination of these three factors (probability of an event, vulnerability and exposure) provides the key to assessing the seriousness of the risk of extreme events. Endesa differentiates the risk analysis of the climate scenarios over the different time horizons.
The following table summarises the impact assessment of extreme events:

Trend in Endesa's values over the long term. |
Endesa defines annual insurance coverage programmes for its businesses, with the two main programmes being:
| Programmes | |
|---|---|
| Global Property programme. |
• The conditions of this policy cover the costs of rebuilding the affected facility and the economic loss from the facility not working. |
| Global Liability programme. | • The conditions of this policy cover damage to third parties for whose activity Endesa has civil liability due to the activity performed, including damage to the environment. |
The policy conditions are defined on the basis of risk assessment, including extreme events associated with Climate Change. As seen in past events, the impact on Endesa's activity of extreme events can be relevant.
Endesa's preventive maintenance actions for its generation and distribution facilities are also important and essential. These actions allow, on the one hand, the mitigation of the impact as a result of extreme events, and, on the other hand, the optimisation of the costs of global insurance programmes.
Endesa implements actions to effectively manage extreme events and chronic physical changes to reduce the impact on its business.
Adaptation solutions can include both actions implemented in the short term and long-term decisions, for example, investment planning in response to climatic phenomena. Adaptation activities also include procedures, policies and best practices.
For new investments, action can be taken as early as the design and construction phase to reduce the impact of climate risks, for example, by assessing risks and vulnerability in the design phase, and to take into account possible chronic effects, for example, by including climate scenarios in long-term renewable resource estimates.
Once the relevant weather and climate phenomena have been identified, the activities to be carried out to maximize adaptive capacity can be classified into:
| Activities | ||
|---|---|---|
| Management of Adverse Events. |
• Procedures to prepare in advance for extreme events (e.g., acquisition of short-term weather forecasts, and training), and procedures for the restoration of activity in the shortest possible time (e.g., definition of operational and organizational procedures to be implemented in case of critical events). |
|
| • Improving the resilience of facilities. Interventions aimed at increasing the resilience of facilities, such as, for Risck Prevention. example, quantitative assessment of potential acute and chronic risks to better define both the requirements at the design stage and the actions to be carried out on existing facilities. |
The following table shows a high-level summary that represents the typology of actions that Endesa implements to properly manage adverse events and increase resilience to weather phenomena and their evolution due to Climate Change. Following the table, details of some of the activities listed in the table are provided:
| Business | Adverse Event Management | Risk Prevention |
|---|---|---|
| Generation | Existing Facilities: • Incident and critical event management • Site-specific emergency management plans and procedures. • Specific tools for forecasting impending extreme events. |
Existing Facilities: • Risk assessment and design guidelines for hydraulic technology. Feedback processes based on lessons learned from operation and maintenance to the development, design and construction phase. • New Facilities: • In addition to what is planned for existing facilities: • Climate Change related risk assessment included in the environmental impact assessment study (pilot). |
| Distribution | Existing Facilities: • Strategies and guidelines on risk prevention, preparedness, response and recovery activities for the distribution network. • Emergency and critical event management guidelines. • Risk prevention and preparedness measures in case of fires in electrical installations (lines, transformers, etc.). |

| Supply | Existing Facilities: • Critical Event Management |
Existing Facilities: • Preliminary analysis of the impacts derived from Climate Change in the medium and long term. |
Endesa develops actions for the effective management of extreme events and chronic physical changes in all its business lines. The areas of action, best management practices and policies adopted in each business are detailed below:
Actions
The main actions in relation to the management of the risks associated with Climate Change in the generation business are as follows:
| Main actions | |
|---|---|
| • Improved management systems for cooling water to compensate for possible reductions in river flows. | |
| • Fogging systems to improve airflow and offset power reduction as a result of increased ambient temperatures at combined cycle generation facilities. |
• Installation of drainage pumps, regular cleaning of canals and other actions to eliminate risks of landslides as a result of torrential rains and floods.
• Periodic reassessment of hydroelectric facilities in torrential rain and flooding scenarios. The scenarios are managed through mitigation actions and interventions at facilities.
In the Generation Business Line, a series of good practices have been adopted for the adequate management of adverse meteorological phenomena:
| Good practices | |
|---|---|
| Weather forecasting. | • Monitoring of the availability of renewable resources and the occurrence of extreme events, with alert systems that guarantee the protection of people and facilities. |
| Digital Geographic Information System (GIS). | • Hydrological simulations, surveying (including the use of drones) and monitoring of possible vulnerabilities using the digital Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and satellite data. |
| Monitoring of dams and hydraulic infrastructure. |
• Advanced monitoring of more than 100,000 parameters (with more than 160 million historical measures) at dams and hydraulic infrastructure. |
| Supervision of facilities | • Remote real-time monitoring of electrical production facilities. |
| Hydrological and hydraulic studies. | • Adoption of specific guidelines for hydrological and hydraulic studies in the initial stages of development, to assess risks in both the area of the facility and the surrounding area. |
| Monitoring of the effects of climate parameters on project design. |
• Monitoring of changes in climate parameters because of their potential effects on project design, such as assessment of the rainfall patterns for the design of drainage systems for photovoltaic facilities. |
| Estimation of extreme wind speeds. | • Estimation of extreme wind speeds using up-to-date databases containing historical records of gales, in order to choose the most suitable wind-turbine technology for the site. |
Endesa also applies specific procedures for emergency management with real-time communication protocols, the planning and management of all activities to resume activity under safe conditions in the shortest possible time, and predefined lists for damage assessment, so that it can act immediately against extreme events. One solution implemented to minimize the impact of climate events is the "Lesson Learned Feedback" process, through which information is transferred from the technical operation and maintenance units to the units that design new projects.
An analysis of risks associated with acute and chronic climate phenomena is being carried out based on the mapping of relevant climate events, with the aim of estimating the impact they may have in the medium to long term on the generation plants. The analysis of acute phenomena has been carried out in two phases:

The detailed analysis was carried out to determine the possible increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme events and to identify the exposed facilities. This analysis has shown that, for the whole set of meteorological phenomena considered, there are few facilities exposed to high risk in the long term. The meteorological phenomena analysed are:
| Meteorological Phenomena | |
|---|---|
| Torrential Rains. | • During 2022, an analysis of a significant number of plants led to the conclusion that there is a high correlation between the geomorphology of the site and the impact of the meteorological phenomenon on the facility, and confirmed the need for a site-specific analysis, especially for those facilities most exposed to the phenomenon. • More detailed analyses have identified possible structural adaptation measures useful to reduce the level of flood risk to an acceptable threshold, and whose implementation will require a cost-benefit analysis. Such structural adaptation interventions would be, for example, the construction of hydraulic mitigation works (mainly embankments, channel reprofiling, adequacy of drainage channels, expansion and lamination basins) and elevation of components at risk through earthworks and increasing the length of support structures in the case of photovoltaic panels. |
| Heat Waves. | • In 2022, the impact of heat waves on photovoltaic installations was analysed, a critical event characterized by persistent high temperatures for several days in the absence of precipitation. • Despite the increase in the frequency and intensity of this climatic phenomenon, the conclusion was that there is no significant impact on the installation, but only a reduction in inverter performance at certain times of the year and in specific locations. |
| Windstorms | • Regarding the risk of wind storms, despite the fact that the scenarios show an increase in the incidence of the phenomenon, the impact analysis shows a high resilience by design especially of the wind farms analysed. • The implementation of any adaptation measures will require specific assessments of the affected sites based on a cost-benefit analysis, considering the limited impact of the phenomenon |
| Fires | • In relation to fire risk, a study has been carried out to identify the areas of highest risk, and aiming at the prevention and/or reduction of intervention times, some possible adaptation measures to be adopted in the design and/or operation phase of the facilities have been identified, such as the removal of vegetation around the project area, the implementation of firebreaks, and additional coordination with local authorities on how to respond in case of fires. |
The methodologies developed will be further refined in order to apply them also to the design and development of new facilities.
These analyses will make it possible to quantify the need for adaptation in terms of risk prevention (e.g. adoption of an adaptive design), and in terms of event management and residual risk management.
In the Distribution Business Line, a specific policy (Climate Change Risk Assessment) has been prepared for the electricity distribution activity, in order to establish the general criteria, methodology and requirements for the identification, analysis and assessment of the risks inherent to Climate Change, both of the facilities and of the activities carried out, with the aim of monitoring the risk and the actions to be implemented to mitigate its impact.
To manage extreme climate events, Endesa has adopted a 4R approach, which defines the measures to be taken, both in preparation for an emergency and in the subsequent commissioning phase after having suffered damage to the facilities due to an extreme event.
This is set out in 4 stages of action:
| Policies and action | |
|---|---|
| "Risk Prevention". | • Includes actions that reduce the likelihood of losing network elements and/or minimise the impact of events, and actions aimed at increasing the robustness of infrastructure, as well as maintenance actions. The choice of technical solutions is made through a catalog that allows to choose the solution to be implemented according to the climatic event and the geographical location of the installation. |
| "Readiness". | • Includes all actions aimed at improving the immediacy with which a potentially critical event is identified, ensuring coordination with civil protection services and the local administration, as well as organising resources once the service failure has occurred. |
| "Response". | • The assessment phase of the operational capacity to deal with an emergency once the extreme event occurs, considering both the ability to mobilise operational resources on the ground, and the possibility of performing remote-controlled feedback manoeuvres over back-up connections. |
| "Recovery". | • The final phase, which aims to re-establish the network service under normal operating conditions, as quickly as possible, in cases where extreme events cause service interruptions despite the preventive measures. |
The distribution business has adopted various specific procedure and policies to integrate the different aspects and risks related to Climate Change:

|
| Support actions. | • Implementation of weather forecasting systems, monitoring the state of the network and assessing the impact of extreme events on the network, preparing operational plans and carrying out drills. It is worth highlighting the agreements reached to mobilize extraordinary resources (internal and from contractors) to deal with emergency situations. |
In addition to the protocols foreseen for situations arising in the short and medium term, an analysis of relevant climate risks is being carried out to prioritize actions in the most exposed areas.
Analysis of future climate impacts to identify adaptation needs
The Distribution Business Line is analysing the trend of extreme events to estimate the impact on the network in the medium / long term. Some examples are included below:
| Extreme events | Extrem Impact on the network in the short and long term |
|---|---|
| Heat waves. | • The impact of these has been analysed. They are caused by too many days of high temperatures with no rainfall, which makes it difficult to evacuate heat from underground lines and could cause abnormal increases in the risk of network faults, especially in urban and tourist areas. • There are few underground lines in the distribution grid in Spain. Initial analysis of the operating history of the distribution grid has found no significant correlation between heat waves and grid faults. |
| Fires. | • Detailed analysis is being carried out in relation to the risk of fires in the scenarios to 2050, together with mapping of the most significant risks in accordance with Policy 439. • A study has been conducted to identify the areas at the greatest risk of forest fires, identifying the networks and environmental areas in which they are located, so that the necessary action can be implemented taking a risk-prevention approach to fire. |
| Explosive cyclogenesis. |
• During 2022, an analysis has been carried out to have more details on explosive cyclogenesis (combination of wind and torrential rain), projecting the events to 2050, and assessing the possible future impacts on the facilities. The first results indicate a trend quite aligned with the historical one, with the exception of the Catalan coast, where a possible intensification of the events is foreseen. |
For the commercialization activity, work has begun on estimating the potential impacts of extreme weather events, through the identification of risks and opportunities, with the aim of defining the necessary actions for adaptation to Climate Change.
For own facilities, which constitute a small part, an impact analysis has been carried out; while for Business to Business (B2B) and Business to Government (B2G) customer facilities, potential risks and possible resilience solutions are being assessed.
The adaptation work has focused on defining the methodology to assess the vulnerability of photovoltaic (distributed energy) and public lighting facilities, based on the studies developed in generation and distribution facilities for the assessment and management of extreme events.
In the case of photovoltaic installations, a preliminary climate risk assessment has been carried out for certain extreme events such as: high winds, torrential rains, floods, and fire risk. The conclusions of the work carried out to date is that for photovoltaic installations, no significant consequences due to climate impact are expected for the installations analyzed. It is planned to extend the analysis to sites where new installations are planned. For public lighting installations, the correlation analysis between damage history and extreme events is being refined.
The National Climate Change Adaptation Plan (PNACC) 2021- 2030, which is the basic planning tool to promote coordinated action against the effects of Climate Change in Spain. Its main objective is to avoid or reduce the present and future damage arising from Climate Change and to build a more resilient economy and society, incorporating new international commitments and contemplating the latest knowledge about the risks arising from Climate Change, drawing on the experience gained in the development of the 2013-2020 National Climate Change Adaptation Plan ("PNACCP").
Taking the same approach and complementing its analysis of the physical risks associated with Climate Change and the management of such risks, Endesa has been working for over a decade to: enhance its knowledge of Climate Change and minimise the vulnerability of its facilities to it; share and exchange impressions of the results obtained; and foster ongoing learning and resilience to climate conditions, enabling it to optimise the management of its businesses.
Below is a summary of Endesa's most significant activities in the area to date:

Drivers of potential risks and opportunities can be identified in relation to the variables in the energy transition by analysing the reference scenarios in combination with the elements in the risk identification process (such as the competitive context, the long-term vision of the industry, materiality analysis and technological performance, etc.), enabling us to prioritise the most significant phenomena.
The main risks and opportunities of variables related to the energy transition are outlined below.
● Carbon dioxide emissions cap and carbon dioxide pricing (CO2): introduction of regulations that require stricter emission limits, through both regulation and a market mechanism.
| Risks and opportunities | ||
|---|---|---|
| Opportunities. | • Mechanisms regulatory mechanisms involving control and command measures, and market mechanisms that strengthen pricing signals for carbon dioxide (CO2) favoring investments in carbon-free technologies. |
|
| Risks. | • Lack of a coordinated approach between the different actors and regulators resulting in a low efficiency of the regulatory instruments with consequences on the evolution of electrification and decarbonization of the different sectors, with respect to Endesa's strategy, which is strongly oriented towards the Energy Transition. |
|
● Policies and regulation to accelerate the transition and energy security: introduction of policies, regulatory frameworks or market rules to encourage the Energy Transition by promoting a transition to an energy system based on the use of renewable energy sources, greater electrification of demand, energy efficiency, flexibility of the electricity system and strengthening of infrastructures.
| Risks and opportunities | |
|---|---|
| Opportunities. | • Creation of a more favorable framework for investments in renewable energies, electrical technologies and distribution networks, in line with Endesa's strategy. • The National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan 2021-2030 (PNIEC) sets an ambitious target for the penetration of renewables, specifically foreseeing that by 2030 42% of energy consumption will be of renewable origin and 74% of total electricity generation will be of renewable origin, consistent with a path towards a 100% renewable electricity sector by 2050, and complemented by increasing additional storage capacity. Likewise, in terms of energy efficiency, which is one of the pillars of the PNIEC, an improvement target of 39.5% is set for 2030. • Likewise, in terms of energy efficiency, which is one of the pillars of the National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan 2021-2030 (PNIEC), an improvement target of 39.5% is set for 2030. |
| Risks. | • Obstacles to achieving the objectives of the Energy Transition due to a regulatory framework that is not effective in facilitating the transition, slow processes to obtain administrative authorizations, difficulties in developing projects due to situations such as lack of access to the grid, etc. |
● Regulations on resilience to improve standards, or introduction of ad-hoc mechanisms to regulate investment in resilience, in a context of ongoing Climate Changes.
| Risks and opportunities | |
|---|---|
| Opportunities. | • Profits from allocation of investment to reduce risks to quality and service continuity for customers. |
| Risks. | • Reputational impact due to damage and service restoration times in the face of extreme events. Potential penalties in the event of failure to restore services adequately after an extreme event. |
● Financial policies to encourage the energy transition: incentives for energy transition through appropriate financial instruments and polices to support a longterm, credible and stable investment framework, and positioning as a policy maker. Introduction of public and private rules and/or financial instruments (such as funds, mechanisms, Taxonomy and benchmarks) focused on integrating sustainability into financial markets and public financing instruments.
| Risks and opportunities | |
|---|---|
| Opportunities. | • Creation of new markets and sustainable financing products, in line with the investment framework, facilitating increased public resources for decarbonisation, access to financial resources in accordance with the energy transition objectives, and the resulting impact on financing costs and availability of aid for the transition. |
| Risks. | • Insufficient instruments and actions to provide incentives for the energy transition, uncertainty or delay in the introduction of new instruments and regulations due to the effect of worsening conditions for public financing. |
● Commodity price dynamics: changes in market dynamics, such as those related to the variability of commodity prices, can influence the behaviour of operators, the regulator and customers.
| Risks and opportunities | |
|---|---|
| Opportunities. | • Acceleration of electrification as a solution to reduce energy costs and exposure to commodity price volatility. Greater predisposition on the part of customers to change from conventional technologies that use fossil fuels to more efficient electric technologies. |
| Risks. | • Disorderly energy transition due to the effect of the introduction of potentially distorting |
● Market dynamics: predisposition of customers towards more sustainable technologies, thanks to a greater awareness of the risks associated with Climate Change and increased regulatory pressure.
| Risks and opportunities | |
|---|---|
| Oportunidades. | • Positive effect associated with the increase in electricity demand, a greater gap for renewable energy thanks to a greater demand for long-term contracts (PPAs). |
● Progressive penetration of new technologies to drive the energy transition, such as electric vehicles, storage, demand response and electrolysers for green hydrogen production; large-scale adoption of digital technologies to transform operating and business models based on platformization.
| Risks and opportunities | |
|---|---|
| Opportunities. | • Investments in the development of technological solutions, as well as positive effects that facilitate the flexibility of increased electricity demand and the greater electricity system. More room for renewables through the production of green hydrogen. • Electricity grids play a leading role in the 2021-2030 National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan (PNIEC), as facilitators for integrating new renewable capacity into the system, while fostering flexibility and demand management. The 2021-2030 National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan allocates 24% of its estimated investment to their development, a total of Euro 58,579 million. |
| Risks. | • Slowdown and interruption of supplies of raw materials, such as metals for batteries (e.g. lithium, nickel and cobalt) and semi-conductors, could cause delays in procurement and higher costs. This could slow the penetration of renewable energies, storage and electric vehicles. |
● Electrification of residential consumption and industrial processes: the progressive electrification of end uses increases the penetration of products capable of guaranteeing lower costs, lower impact in terms of emissions and greater efficiency in the residential and industrial sectors (for example, heat pumps).
| Risks and opportunities | |
|---|---|
| Opportunities. | • Increased electricity demand in a context of decreasing energy demand, thanks to the greater efficiency and environmental sustainability of the electricity vector. Increased opportunities to offer value-added services to customers that will enable them to reduce their energy expenditure and Carbon Footprint. Increased investments in the electricity grid to enable demand electrification. |
| Risks. | • Increased competition in this market segment. High dependence on an adequate development |
● Electric mobility: use of modes of transport that are more efficient in terms of Climate Change, particularly with regard to the development of electric mobility and
charging infrastructure, and the electrification of industrial consumption.
| Risks and opportunities | |
|---|---|
| Opportunities. | • Positive effects of increased demand for electricity and higher margins related to the penetration of electric transport and associated services. |
| Risks. | • Entry of new players into the market. |
In general, and in the area of products and services, the opportunity offered by the National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan 2021-2030 (PNIEC), which is materialized through 3 ways, one of which is the electrification of the economy, which will help to achieve, among others, the objective established for 2030 of reaching 42% of renewable energies in the total final energy consumption, as well as a reduction of 39% of diffuse greenhouse gases emissions in that same year with respect to 2005.

More specifically, and in parallel with the development of renewable energies, the electrification of demand must include a strong development of electric mobility and the use of electricity in residential heating. The National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan (PNIEC) foresees that the presence of renewables in the mobility-transport sector will be a driving force to promote its decarbonization, with the aim of reaching 5 million electric vehicles by 2030. Likewise, the National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan (PNIEC) incorporates ambitious plans for the renovation of residential equipment..
Endesa has already implemented strategic actions to mitigate potential risks and to take advantage of the opportunities associated with the energy variables. Shared value can be created in the long term through an industrial and financial strategy that includes environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) factors, with an integrated approach based on sustainability and innovation.
Endesa's strategy for total decarbonisation and the energy transition provides it with resilience in the face of the risks that might arise from the implementation of more ambitious emission-reduction policies, maximising the opportunities to develop renewable generation, infrastructure and enabling technologies. Unlike the chronic climate impacts, we can say that we are already seeing impacts from the transition scenario for the short term and the medium-long term (to 2030).
The energy transition scenarios described in section 5.3 of this Consolidated Management Report have been used to quantify the risks and opportunities deriving from the energy transition.
The effects of the "Slower Transition" and "Accelerated Transition" scenarios on the variables that could have the greatest impact on the business have been identified below, in particular electricity demand, influenced by the dynamics of electrification of demand and, therefore, the penetration of electricity technologies, and the generation energy mix. These considerations offer ideas for determining what Endesa's strategic positioning might be in terms of resource allocation.
The reference scenario chosen - the "Paris" scenario expects increasing ambition for decarbonisation and energy efficiency, backed by increased electrification of demand and development of renewable generation. The dynamics of the energy transition may provide growth opportunities for Endesa, particularly.
Retail electricity market. • The progressive electrification of demand, particularly in the transport and residential sectors, will result in a significant increase in electricity consumption, to the detriment of the consumption of other renewable fuels with higher emissions.
In terms of the economic impact of the change in transition scenarios, the impact in terms of gross operating income (EBITDA) that the "Slower transition" and "Accelerated Transition" scenarios would have on 2030 earnings has been analysed compared to the benchmark "Paris" scenario.
| "Paris" scenario | "Slower Transition" scenario | Accelerated Transition scenario |
|---|---|---|
| • Downward trend in emissions in line with the European "Fit for 55" package, through increased electrification of demand supported by an increasing contribution from renewables to the generating mix. |
• In reference to the electrification of demand, it foresees lower penetration rates of the most efficient electric technologies, in particular electric vehicles, leading to a decrease in electricity demand compared to the "Paris" Scenario. |
• Faster cost reduction of green hydrogen production technologies. This translates into a higher penetration of this energy vector, to the detriment of blue and gray hydrogen (hydrogen produced from gas, respectively with and without the use of CCS technologies), with the consequent additive effect on national electricity demand and on renewable installations compared to the "Paris" Scenario. |
• All of the scenarios - but to a greater extent the "Paris" and "Accelerated Transition" scenarios - will involve a considerable increase in the complexity of electricity grid management. A significant increase is expected in distributed generation and other resources, such as storage systems, with increased penetration of electric mobility and its associated charging infrastructures, with an increasing pace of electrification of demand and the appearance of new players with new forms of consumption.
• This will result in decentralisation of consumption and injection points, increases in demand for electricity and average power requirements, and significant variability in energy flows. These developments will require dynamic and flexible management of the grid.
• Endesa expects that additional investment will be needed to ensure the connections and adequate levels of quality and resilience, fostering the adoption of innovative operating models.

a.3. Endesa is making decisions that will affect the future of the company and is sustainability. These decisions are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, and changes in circumstances and other factors that may be beyond Endesa's control or that may be difficult to predict
Every year, Endesa presents its Strategic Plan, which includes the Company's strategic guidelines and its economic, financial and capital objectives, and their contribution to the Company.
The main assumptions on which the forecasts and objectives of the Strategic Plan are based are related to:

raw materials and carbon dioxide (CO2) emission rights necessary to operate the business at the desired levels; and the general performance of social, environmental and ethical trends of the area in which it operates, including the factors relating to the loss of biodiversity, terrorism, hydraulic stress, cybersecurity, inequality and social instability, structural unemployment, infectious diseases, external political conflicts, extreme climatic phenomena and environmental catastrophes and Climate Change.
Endesa cannot guarantee that its perspectives will be complied with in the terms notified, since they are based, among others, on the following matters:
Endesa's Strategic Plan foresees a significant investment effort in electricity production and distribution systems and facilities. The execution of these investments is dependent on market and regulatory conditions. If the necessary conditions enabling the viability of the plants do not arise, Endesa may have to cease production at the facilities and, where appropriate, begin the task of dismantling them. Any such closures would involve a reduction in installed capacity and the output that support energy sales to customers. This could, therefore, adversely affect Endesa's business activities, results, financial position and cash flows.
Consequently, and in line with accounting regulations, Endesa assesses, throughout the year and, in any case, at each reporting date, whether there is any indication that a non-financial asset may be impaired.
Adverse economic conditions could have a negative impact on energy demand and the ability of Endesa's consumers to fulfil their payment obligations. In periods of economic recession, electricity demand tends to contract, which adversely affects companies' results.
If the economic situation in Spain, Portugal or other Eurozone economies deteriorates, it could adversely affect energy consumption and, consequently, Endesa's business activities, financial position, operating results and cash flows would be negatively affected.
In addition, the financial conditions in the international markets represent a challenge for Endesa's economic situation due to the potential impact on its business of, on the one hand, the government debt level, declining growth rates and possible downgrading of government bond ratings at the international level – and, in particular, in Eurozone countries – and, on the other hand, the new monetary expansion measures expected in the credit market. Changes in any of these factors could condition Endesa's access to capital markets and the conditions under which it obtains financing, consequently affecting its business activities, results, financial position and cash flows.
In addition to any economic problems that could arise at the international level, Endesa faces uncertainty at the political level in Spain and abroad, which could adversely affect Endesa's economic and financial position. The invasion of Ukraine and the response of the international community to it is having effects in numerous areas, including raw materials markets, financial markets, the system of international sanctions for individuals and legal entities and the security of infrastructures and essential services (see Section 4 of this Management Report).
No guarantee can be given that the international or eurozone economic situation will not deteriorate, or that an event of a political nature will not have a significant impact on the markets, thus affecting Endesa's business, economic situation, financial position, result of operations and cash flows.
Endesa maintains relationships with a high number of customers, 10.5 million electricity customers and 1.8 million gas customers at 31 December 2022.
Endesa's business activities are carried out in a highly competitive environment. Even if Endesa were to lose individual customers, it would not have a significant impact on its business as a whole, and the inability to maintain stable relationships with customers could adversely affect Endesa's business activities, results, financial position and cash flows.
b.1. Endesa's business is largely dependent on: the constant supply of large amounts of fuel to generate electricity; the supply of electricity and natural gas used for its own consumption and supply; and the supply of other raw materials, the prices of which are subject to market forces which may affect the price and the amount of energy sold by Endesa
The contribution margin of Endesa's generation and supply segment in 2022 was Euro 4,940 million, most of which correspond to deregulated activities, subject to the effects of competition and volatility on the markets. These activities require gas, electricity and raw material purchases, hence:
| Materials consumed | Commitments |
|---|---|
| • In 2022, 537,781 tonnes of coal and 3,239 million m3 of natural gas were consumed to generate electricity. |
• At 31 December 2022, the amount of the electricity and raw material purchase commitments amounted to Euro 22,879 million, of which a portion corresponds to agreements that have take or pay clauses. |
Endesa is exposed to market price risks in relation to fuel purchases (including gas and coal) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emission rights prices, used to generate electricity, to procure gas and for supply activities. In this connection, the fluctuations in the price of these products in international markets may affect the contribution margin. To mitigate this impact, Endesa hedges commodity price risk through European financial instruments arranged in organised markets and Over the Counter (OTC). Trades carried out on organised markets, with clearing houses and daily cash collateral requirements associated with changes in fair value (mark-to-market) could have a direct impact on Endesa's liquidity risk.
Endesa has entered into electricity and natural gas supply contracts based on certain assumptions regarding future market prices for electricity and natural gas. Any deviation with respect to the assumptions when the aforementioned supply contracts are signed could give rise to an obligation to purchase electricity or natural gas at prices that are higher than those included in these contracts. In the event there is a market price adjustment with respect to the estimates made, a deviation in Endesa's obligations with regard to its fuel needs, or a regulatory change which affects prices as a whole and how they have been established, and if its risk management strategies are inadequate in the face of such changes, Endesa's business activities, results, financial position and cash flows could be affected adversely.
Endesa has signed certain natural gas supply contracts which include binding take or pay clauses which compel it to either acquire the fuel it has agreed to contractually or to pay if it does not acquire such fuel. The terms of these contracts have been established based on certain assumptions regarding future electricity and gas demand. Any deviation from the assumptions used could give rise to an obligation to purchase more fuel than necessary or to sell excess fuel on the market at current prices.
Endesa is exposed to foreign currency risk, mainly in relation to the payments it must make in international markets to acquire energy-related commodities, especially international coal and natural gas, where the prices of these commodities are usually denominated in US dollars (USD).
Therefore, this means that the fluctuations in the foreign exchange rate could adversely affect Endesa's business activities, results, financial position and cash flows.
Information relating to foreign currency risk and the foreign currency sensitivity analysis is provided in Note 13.2 to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.
Endesa's electricity production depends on the levels of natural resources, plant availability and market conditions. The output of renewable plants depends on levels of rainfall and on the levels of sun radiation and wind, which exist in the geographic areas in which the Company's hydroelectric, wind power and photovoltaic generation facilities are located. In the event of a low level of hydric, wind or solar resources or other circumstances that adversely affect renewable energy generation, Endesa's business, results, financial position and cash flows could be adversely affected.
The demand not covered by renewable energy is caused by thermal plants, whose production, together with their margin, depends on competitivity among the different technologies. A year with low rainfall, scant sunshine or less wind leads to a decline in hydroelectric, solar or wind power production, in turn, increasing the output of thermal power plants (with a greater cost) and, therefore,

the price of electricity and the costs of buying energy. In a wet year, with more sunshine or wind, the opposite effects occur. For example, in the event conditions are unfavourable, due to scant resources, electricity generation will, to a large extent, come from thermal plants and Endesa's operating expenses arising from these activities will increase. Endesa's inability to manage changes in natural resource conditions could adversely affect its business activities, results, financial position and cash flows.
In an average year, it was estimated that hydroelectric production could vary by ±35%, wind power by ±6,5% and photovoltaic power by ±4%. In 2022, Endesa's generation from hydroelectric plants amounted to 4,477 GWh.
Climate-related conditions and, in particular, seasons, have a significant impact on electricity demand. Electricity consumption levels reach their peak in summer and winter. Seasonal changes in demand are attributed to the impact of several climate factors, such as climate and the amount of natural light, the use of light, heating and air conditioning. Changes in demand due to weather conditions can have a major effect on the business's profitability. Additionally, Endesa must make certain projections and estimates regarding climate conditions when negotiating its contracts, and a significant divergence in the precipitation levels and other weather conditions envisaged could adversely affect Endesa's business activities, results, financial position and cash flows.
Likewise, adverse weather conditions could impact the regular supply of energy due to damages to the network, with the resulting interruption to services, which could compel Endesa to compensate its customers due to delays or disruptions in the supply of energy.
The occurrence of any of the foregoing circumstances could adversely affect its business activities, results, financial position and cash flows.
Interest rate fluctuations change the fair value of assets and liabilities bearing interest at fixed rates and the future flows from assets and liabilities indexed to floating interest rates. The interest rate fluctuations could adversely affect Endesa's business activities, results, financial position and cash flows.
Gross financial debt totalled Euro 16,223 million at 31 December 2022. 39% of gross financial debt before cash flow and fair value hedging accrued fixed rate interest, mainly Euribor, while the remaining 61% is tied to floating rate interest.
At 31 December 2022, taking into account cash flow hedges that are considered to be effective, 38% of gross financial debt was hedged against interest rate risk. Also taking fair value hedges into consideration, at 31 December 2022, this percentage is 62%.
Information relating to interest rate risk and the interest rate sensitivity analysis is provided in Note 13.1 to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.
Price increases have led to a considerable increase in longterm interest rates for the Euro. To mitigate this impact, Endesa hedges interest rate risk using derivatives.
Endesa is confident that it will be able to generate funds internally (self-financing), access bank financing through long-term credit lines, access short-term capital markets as a source of liquidity and access the long-term debt market in order to finance its organic growth programme and other capital requirements, including its commitments arising from the on-going maintenance of its current facilities. This debt includes long-term credit lines with banks and Enel Group companies, and financial investments.
If Endesa is unable to access capital under reasonable conditions, refinance its debt, settle its capital expenses and implement its strategy, the Company could be adversely affected. The capital and turmoil in the capital market, a possible reduction in Endesa's creditworthiness or possible restrictions on financing conditions imposed on the credit lines in the event financial ratios deteriorate, could increase the Company's financial expenses or adversely affect its ability to access the capital markets.
A lack of financing could force Endesa to dispose of or sell its assets to offset the liquidity shortfall in order to pay amounts owed, and such sales could occur under circumstances that prevent Endesa from obtaining the best price for the assets. Therefore, if Endesa is unable to access financing under acceptable conditions, Endesa's business activities, results, financial position and cash flows could be adversely affected.
At 31 December 2022, the Company had negative working capital of Euro 600 million. The undrawn amount on Endesa's long-term credit lines provide assurance that the Endesa can obtain sufficient financial resources to continue to operate and to realise its assets and settle its liabilities for the amounts shown in the statement of financial position.
The general uncertainty is also affecting the credit markets by pushing up risk premiums, for both sovereign and corporate debt. Additionally, the hedging strategies for volatility risks in the market to ensure results remain stable could result in a considerable increase in requirements to provide cash collateral to continue operating in organised markets in the event of significant changes in commodity prices. Funding using short-term instruments would be a drain on the company's liquidity.
In the short term, liquidity risk is mitigated by Endesa by maintaining sufficient resources available unconditionally, including cash and short-term deposits, drawable lines of credit and a portfolio of highly liquid assets. Endesa's liquidity policy consists of arranging committed long-term credit lines with banks and Enel Group companies and financial investments in an amount sufficient to cover projected needs over a given period based on the situation in and expectations about the debt and capital markets.
Information regarding liquidity risk is included in Note 13.3. to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.
In addition, the conditions in which Endesa accesses capital markets or other means of financing, whether within the Company or on the credit market, are highly dependent upon its credit rating which, in turn, is conditioned by that of its Parent Enel. Endesa's capacity to access the markets and financing could therefore be adversely affected, in part, by the credit and financial position of ENEL, to the extent that it could determine the availability of intercompany financing for Endesa or the conditions under which the Company accesses the capital market.
Any deterioration of ENEL's credit rating and, consequently, that of Endesa, could limit Endesa's ability to access the capital markets or any other means of financing (or refinancing) from third parties or increase the cost of these transactions. This could adversely affect Endesa's business activities, results, financial position and cash flows.
Endesa has set the following tolerance levels in its Risk Appetite Framework for its regulated distribution activity, in line with the Spanish Markets and Competition Commission ("CNMC") communication on the definition of ratios to assess the level of indebtedness and economic and financial capacity of companies involved in regulated activities, and the recommended ranges for such levels:
| Maximum 70% |
|---|
| Maximum 70% |
(1) Indicators for regulated distribution activity as defined in Spanish Markets and Competition Commission ("CNMC") Communication 1/2019, of 23 October.
In its commercial and financial activities, Endesa is exposed to the risk that the counterparty may be unable to meet all or some of its obligations, both payment obligations arising from goods already delivered and services already rendered, as well as payment obligations related to expected cash flows, in accordance with the financial derivative contracts entered into, cash deposits or financial assets. In particular, Endesa assumes the risk that the consumer may not be able to fulfil its payment obligations for the supply of energy, including all transmission and distribution costs.
Endesa closely monitors the credit risk of its commodity, financial and commercial counterparties. In a context of sharply rising commodity prices and interest rates, exposure to default has risen considerably with counterparties, although the Company's collection management has made it possible to temper the growth of overdue debt.

Endesa cannot guarantee that it will not incur losses as a result of the non-payment of commercial or financial receivables and, therefore, the failure of one or various significant counterparties to fulfil their obligations could adversely affect Endesa's business activities, results, financial position and cash flows.
Information relating to credit risk is provided in Note 13.4 to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.
Endesa's digital transformation involves greater exposure to potential cyber-attacks, which may endanger the security of IT systems and databases with sensitive information.
The potential impact on Endesa would cause economic losses and reputational impacts (loss of trust by the Company) arising in the event Endesa's information systems are affected by a cyber-attack. The Company's critical infrastructure may also be exposed to this type of attack, which could have a serious impact on the essential services provided (for example, nuclear plants). Increase in the danger of the fraudulent implantation of commercial activity and it is necessary to adopt security measures and protect customer data.
With respect to the risk management and mitigation measures, Endesa has a cybersecurity strategy, in keeping with international standards and government initiatives. As part of this strategy, Endesa performs an assessment of the main risks and identifies vulnerabilities, and also conducts an exhaustive digital monitoring through which the information is analysed and remedial measures are implemented to mitigate risks. It also conducts training and awareness-raising programmes in the use of digital technologies for its employees, at both the professional and individual level, to change the conduct of people and reduce risks.
The Cybersecurity Unit is keeping close track of the situation to identify any cyber events or anomalies at Endesa.
In its assets, Endesa executes cybersecurity exercises that involve plant or industrial facilities..
The use of information technology at Endesa is essential to manage its activity. Endesa's systems represent a strategic distinguishing element with respect to sector companies, given the business aggregates used with regard to technical complexity, volume, granularity, functionality and case-based diversity. Specifically, Endesa's main computer systems handle the following business processes:
| Systems | Business processes supported |
|---|---|
| Commercial. | • Marketing processes, demand forecasts, profitability, sales, customer service, claim management, hiring and the basic revenue cycle (validation of meter reading, invoicing, collection management and debt processing). |
| Technical distribution. | • Processes for managing the grid, meter-reading management, handling of new supplies, network planning, field work management, management of meter-reading equipment with advanced remote management and energy management capabilities. |
| Generation systems, energy management and renewables. |
• Fuel management processes, meter-reading management, trading risk management, etc. |
| Economic and financial. | • Economic management, accounting, financial consolidation and balance sheet processes. |
Management of Endesa's business activity through these systems is essential for performing its activity efficiently and achieving its corporate objectives.
The construction of generation facilities and energy distribution is time-consuming and can be highly complex. This means that investment needs to be planned well in advance of the estimated start-up date of the facility and, therefore, it could be necessary to adapt such decisions to changes in the market conditions. This may entail significant additional costs not originally planned that may affect the return on these types of projects.
Generally, in connection with the development of such facilities, Endesa has to obtain the related administrative authorisations and permits, acquire land purchase or lease agreements, sign equipment procurement and construction contracts, operation and maintenance agreements, fuel supply and transport agreements and off-take arrangements, and obtain sufficient financing to meet its capital and debt requirements.
The 2023-2025 Strategic Plan approved by the Board of Directors of Endesa, S.A. on 23 November 2022 and presented to the market includes an investment target, net of grants and assets assigned by customers, of Euro 7,700 million between 2023 and 2025.
Factors that may affect Endesa's ability to construct new facilities include:
| Risk | Factors | |
|---|---|---|
| • Delays in obtaining regulatory approvals, including environmental permits. | ||
| • Shortages or changes in the price of equipment, supplies or labour. | ||
| • Opposition from local groups, political groups or other stakeholders. | ||
| Risks associated with the construction of new | • Adverse changes in the political environment and environmental regulations. | |
| electricity generation and distribution facilities. | • Adverse weather conditions, natural catastrophes, accidents and other unforeseen events that could delay the completion of power plants or substations. |
|
| • Non-compliance by suppliers with agreed contract conditions. | ||
| • Inability to obtain financing under conditions that are satisfactory to Endesa. |
Any of these factors may cause delays in completion or commencement of the Group's construction projects and may increase the cost of planned projects. In addition, if Endesa is unable to complete these projects, any costs incurred in connection with such projects may not be recoverable.
If Endesa faces problems related to the development and construction of new facilities and, therefore, of its business, results, financial position and cash flows may be adversely affected.
To carry on its activities, Endesa has a huge volume of assets related with its activities, which comprise, among others:
| Activity | Impacts |
|---|---|
| Electricity generation. | • At 31 December 2022, Endesa's total net installed capacity in Spain amounted to 22,044 MW, of which 17,684 MW are in the Mainland Electricity System and 4,360 MW in Non-mainland Territories ("TNP") in the Balearic Islands, Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla. |
| Energy distribution. | • At 31 December 2022, Endesa distributed electricity in 24 Spanish provinces in 8 Autonomous Communities and in the Autonomous City of Ceuta, covering 195,881 km2 and more than 21 million people. The total energy distributed by Endesa's grid totalled 131,813 GWh in 2022. |
| Energy supply. | • At 31 December 2022, Endesa had over 12 million electricity and gas customers. |
Endesa is exposed to risks of breakdown and accidents that can temporarily interrupt the operation of its plants and services to its customers. Prevention and protection strategies exist to mitigate these risks, including predictive and preventive maintenance techniques in line with the best international practices. The company has set a tolerance level for this risk of at least 85% availability for its generation assets.
Endesa cannot ensure that during the performance of its business activities, direct or indirect losses will not arise from inadequate internal processes, technological failures, human error or certain external events, such as accidents at facilities, workplace conflicts and natural disasters. These risks and dangers could cause explosions, floods or other circumstances that could cause the total loss of

energy generation and distribution facilities; damage to or the deterioration or destruction of Endesa's facilities or those of third parties, or even environmental damage; delays in electricity generation and the partial or total interruption of activities. The occurrence of any of these circumstances could adversely affect its business activities, results, financial position and cash flows.
Despite the fact that Endesa attempts to obtain adequate insurance cover in relation to the main risks associated with its business – including damage to the Company itself, general third-party liability, and environmental and nuclear power plant liability – it is possible that insurance cover may not be available on the market in commercially reasonable terms. Likewise, the amounts for which Endesa is insured may not be sufficient to cover the incurred losses in their entirety.
In the event of a partial or total loss of Endesa's facilities or other assets, or a disruption to its activities, the funds Endesa receives from its insurance may not be sufficient to cover the complete repair or replacement of the assets or losses incurred. Furthermore, in the event of a total or partial loss of Endesa's facilities or other assets, part of the equipment may not be easily replaced, given its high value or its specific nature, or may not be easily or immediately available.
Similarly, the cover of guarantees in relation to the aforementioned equipment or the limits to Endesa's ability to replace the equipment could disrupt or hinder its operations or significantly delay the course of its ordinary operations. Consequently, all of the above could adversely affect Endesa's business activities, results, financial position and cash flows.
Likewise, Endesa's insurance contracts are subject to constant review by its insurers. It is therefore possible that Endesa may be unable to maintain its insurance contracts under conditions similar to those currently in place in order to meet possible increases to premiums or to covers which become inaccessible. If Endesa is unable to transfer a possible premium increase to its customers, these additional costs may adversely affect its business activities, results, financial position and cash flows.
To carry on its activities, at 31 December 2022, Endesa, S.A. had a workforce of 1,241 employees (see Note 19.1 to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022). So that Endesa can continue to maintain its position in the sector, it needs to guarantee talent management, especially with regard to digital competences.
The market in qualified labour is highly competitive and Endesa must be able to successfully hire additional qualified staff or to replace outgoing staff with sufficiently qualified and effective employees. Endesa's inability to retain or recruit essential staff could adversely affect its business activities, results, financial position and cash flows.
Information on Endesa's Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) is provided in Section 7 of this Management Report and in Section 4.7.3. Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) of the Statement of Non-financial Information and Sustainability 2022 (see section 15 of this Management Report).
Information on Endesa's Social Dialogue is provided in Section 4.6.1.4. Social dialogue of the Statement of Nonfinancial Information and Sustainability 2022 (see section 15 of this Management Report).
d.6. Endesa's business could be adversely affected by a possible inability to maintain its relations with suppliers or because the available supplier offering is insufficient in terms of quantity and/or quality, as well as supplier failures to maintain the conditions of the service provided, limiting the possibilities of operability and business continuity
The relationships Endesa currently maintains with the main industry service suppliers and providers are essential for the development and growth of its business, and will continue to be so in the future.
Endesa's dependence on these relationships could affect its ability to negotiate contracts with these parties under favourable conditions. Although Endesa's supplier portfolio is sufficiently diverse, if any of these relationships is severed or terminated, Endesa cannot guarantee the replacement of any significant service supplier or provider within an appropriate time frame or with similar conditions.
Endesa makes significant purchases of fuels, materials and services. In this area, it must be mentioned that:
In the construction and operation of Endesa's information systems, the Company includes the highest security and contingency standards so that it guarantees operating efficiencies, as well as the continuity of businesses and processes that contribute to attaining its corporate objectives.
These standards acquire a particularly significant role faced with the digital transformation process in which Endesa is immersed, which involves a growing exposure to potential cyberattacks, which are increasingly numerous and complex, and which may compromise the security of its systems, its data, including personal data, the continuity of its operations and, consequently, the quality of its customer relations and its results, financial position and cash flows.
Security has therefore become a global strategic matter. In this regard, Endesa has put in place policies, processes, methodologies, tools and protocols based on international standards and duly audited governance initiatives. In particular, Endesa has a cybersecurity action and management model promoted by Senior Management, which covers all business areas and the area responsible
If Endesa is unable to negotiate contracts with its suppliers under favourable terms, if such suppliers are unable to comply with their obligations or if their relationship with Endesa is severed, and Endesa is unable to find an appropriate replacement, its business activities, results, financial position and cash flows could be affected adversely.
A worsening of the crisis situation caused by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine could lead to possible delays in supplies and non-compliance with contracts at the supply chain level. The materialization of this event could negatively affect Endesa's business, results, financial position and cash flows (see Section 4 of this Management Report).
for the management of IT systems. This model is based on the identification, prioritisation and quantification of existing security risks, taking into account the impact of each system on Endesa's business, to adopt security actions to minimise and mitigate such risks.
Endesa is subject to environmental regulations which affect both the normal course of its operations, as well as the development of its projects, leading to increased risks and costs. This regulatory framework requires licences, permits and other administrative authorisations be obtained in advance, as well as fulfilment of all the requirements provided for in such licences, permits and authorisations. As in any regulated company, Endesa cannot guarantee that:

In addition, Endesa is exposed to environmental risks inherent to its business, including those risks relating to management of the waste, spills and emissions of the electricity production facilities, particularly nuclear power plants. Endesa may be held responsible for environmental damage, for harm to employees or third parties, or for other types of damage associated with its energy generation, supply and distribution facilities, as well as port terminal activities.
Although the plants are prepared to comply with the prevailing environmental requirements, Endesa cannot guarantee that it will be able to comply with the requirements imposed or that it will be able to avoid fines, administrative or other sanctions, or any other penalties and expenses related to compliance matters, including those related to the management of waste, spills and emissions from electricity production units. Failure to comply with this regulation may give rise to liabilities, as well as fines, damages, sanctions and expenses, including, where applicable, facility closures. Government authorities may also impose charges or taxes on the parties responsible in order to guarantee obligations are repaid. In the event Endesa were accused of failing to comply with environmental regulations, its business activities, results, financial position and cash flows could be affected adversely.
In this connection, Endesa has taken out the following insurance policies:
| Insurance | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Environmental liability | • Cover up to a maximum of Euro 150 million for claims arising from pollution. | ||
| General civil liability | • Cover for claims relating to damage to third parties or their property up to a maximum of Euro 250 million, with this coverage increasing to Euro 950 million for hydroelectric plants. |
||
| Third-party liability for nuclear accidents |
• Under current legislation in Spain and pursuant to Law 24/2013 of 26 December on the electricity sector, Endesa is insured for up to Euro 1,200 million against third-party liability claims for possible nuclear accidents at its plants. Any loss or damage in excess of this amount would be governed by the international conventions to which Spain is a signatory. The nuclear power plants are also insured against damage to their facilities (including stocks of nuclear fuel) and machinery breakdowns, with maximum coverage of Euro 1,500 million for each plant. On 28 May 2011, the Spanish government published Law 12/2011, of 27 May, on third-party liability due to nuclear damage or damage caused by radioactive materials, which raises operator liability to Euro 1,200 million, while also allowing operators to cover this liability in several ways. This Regulation will enter into force on 1 January 2022, following the joint ratification by the Member States of the Protocols of 12 February 2004, amending the Nuclear Civil Liability Convention (Paris Convention) and the Brussels Convention, complementing the foregoing. The civil nuclear liability coverage arranged by Endesa has a limit of Euro 1,200 million from 1 January 2022. |
However, it is possible Endesa may face third-party damage claims. If Endesa were to be held liable for damages generated by its facilities for amounts greater than its insurance policy cover or for damages that exceed the scope of the insurance policy's coverage, its business activities, financial position, results and cash flows could be adversely affected.
Endesa is subject to compliance with the legislation and regulations on emissions of pollutants and on the storage and treatment of waste from fuel from nuclear power plants. It is possible that the Company will be subject to even stricter environmental regulations in the future. In the past, the approval of new regulations has required, and could require in the future, significant capital investment expenditures in order to comply with legal requirements. Endesa cannot foresee the increase in capital investment or the increase in operating costs or other expenses it may have to incur in order to comply with all environmental requirements and regulations. Nor can it predict if the aforementioned costs may be transferred to third parties. Thus, the costs associated with compliance with the regulations applicable could adversely affect Endesa's business activities, results, financial position and cash flows.
Endesa is subject to competition and antitrust laws in the markets in which it operates. Infringements, especially in Spain, Endesa's main market, could give rise to legal actions against Endesa.
Endesa has been, is and could be the object of legal investigations and proceedings regarding competition and antitrust matters. Investigations regarding the infringement of competition and antitrust laws usually last several years and may be subject to rules that prevent the disclosure of information. Infringements of these regulations may give rise to fines and other types of sanctions which could adversely affect Endesa's business activities, results, financial position and cash flows.
Information on litigation and arbitration proceedings is set out in Note 11.3 to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.
Endesa's growth strategy has always included, and continues to include, acquisitions that are subject to various competition laws. These regulations may affect Endesa's ability to carry out strategic transactions.
Endesa is party to various ongoing legal proceedings related to its business activities, including tax, regulatory and antitrust disputes. It is also subject to ongoing or possible tax audits. In general, Endesa is exposed to thirdparty claims from all jurisdictions (criminal, civil, commercial, labour and economic-administrative) and in national and international arbitration proceedings.
Endesa performs its best estimate to recognise its provisions for legal contingencies, provided that the need to meet this obligation is probable and its amount can be reasonably quantified.
However, Endesa cannot guarantee that it will be successful in all the proceedings in which it expects a positive outcome, or that an unfavourable decision will not adversely affect Endesa's business activities, results, financial position and cash flows. Likewise, the Company cannot ensure that it will not be the object of new legal proceedings in the future which, if the outcome were unfavourable, would not have an adverse effect on its business activities, operating results, financial position or cash flows.
Information on litigation and arbitration proceedings is set out in Note 11.3 to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.
Currently, the tax risks to be managed and controlled are those arising from the uncertainties arising either due to the possibility that the tax authorities may demand additional contributions from Endesa than those considered due (either as a result of the failure to file returns or of a different interpretation of the applicable regulations) or of the risk of an incorrect perception or valuation by third parties of tax events that are erroneously of unjustly attributed to the Company.
In 2022, Endesa's total tax contribution amounted to Euro 3,843 million, of which 43% corresponded to taxes borne that represent a cost for Endesa and 57% relate to taxes collected by Endesa as a result of its business activities. Most of the tax paid by Endesa has been paid in Spain, representing over 85% of the total taxes paid and collected in 2022.
Information on Endesa's tax contribution is provided in Section 4.7.4.4. Tax Contribution of the Statement of Nonfinancial Information and Sustainability Statement 2022 (see section 15 of this Management Report).
The following was of note with respect to Endesa's tax risk situation:

(1) Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.
Despite this firm commitment, any change in the interpretation of the tax regulations by the tax authorities or the Administrative or Justice Tribunals could affect Endesa's compliance with its tax obligations, and its business, results, financial position and cash flows.
Since 2010, Endesa has filed consolidated tax returns for income tax purposes as part of consolidated tax group no. 572/10, of which Enel, S.p.A. is the parent and Enel Iberia, S.L.U. the representative in Spain. Likewise, since January 2010, Endesa has formed part of Spanish consolidated VAT group no. 45/10, the parent of which is Enel Iberia, S.L.U. Until 2009, Endesa filed consolidated tax returns as the Parent under group no. 42/1998 for income tax and under group no. 145/08 for Value Added Tax (VAT).
Additionally, Enel Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE), a wholly-owned Endesa subsidiary, was fully consolidated between 2010 and 2016 as part of the Group number 574/10 of which Enel Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE) was the Parent. From 1 January 2017, Enel Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE) paid taxes as part of tax group number 572/10 of which Enel, S.p.A. is the Parent and Enel Iberia, S.L.U. is the representative in Spain.
Likewise, following the taking of control by Endesa of Empresa de Alumbrado Eléctrico de Ceuta, S.A., with respect to which, at 31 December 2022, it held a stake of 96.42% of the share capital, the Consolidated Tax Group no. 21/02 was incorporated, comprising the following three companies: Empresa de Alumbrado Eléctrico de Ceuta, S.A. (as the parent and representative of the consolidated tax group), Energía Ceuta XXI Comercializadora de Referencia, S.A.U. and Empresa de Alumbrado Eléctrico de Ceuta Distribución, S.A.U.
In accordance with the regime for filing consolidated tax returns for purposes of income tax and VAT for company groups, all of the Group companies which file consolidated tax returns are jointly responsible for paying the Group's tax charge. This includes certain sanctions arising from failure to comply with specific obligations imposed under the VAT regime for company groups.
As a result of this, Endesa is jointly responsible for paying the tax charge of the other members of the consolidated tax groups to which it belongs or has belonged for all tax periods still open for review. Likewise, Enel Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE) is also jointly and severally responsible with respect to the other members of the Consolidated Tax Group of which it has formed part and Empresa de Alumbrado Eléctrico de Ceuta, S.A. is also jointly and severally liable with respect to its members.
Even though Endesa or, where applicable, Enel Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE) or Empresa de Alumbrado Eléctrico de Ceuta, S.A. has the right to recourse against the other members of the corresponding consolidated tax group, any of them could be held jointly and severally liable if any outstanding tax charge were to arise that had not been duly settled by another member of the consolidated tax groups to which Endesa or, where applicable, Enel Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE) or Empresa de Alumbrado Eléctrico de Ceuta, S.A. belong or have belonged. Any material tax liability could adversely affect Endesa's business activities, results, financial position and cash flows.
At 31 December 2022, the Enel Group, through Enel Iberia, S.L.U., held 70.1% of Endesa, S.A.'s share capital and voting rights, enabling it to appoint the majority of Endesa, S.A.'s board members and, therefore, to control management of the business and its management policies.
The Enel Group's interests may differ from the interests of Endesa or those of its shareholders. Furthermore, both the Enel Group and Endesa compete in the European electricity market. It not possible to ensure that the interests of the Enel Group will coincide with the interests of Endesa's other shareholders or that the Enel Group will act in support of Endesa's interests.
Information on balances and transactions with related parties is provided in Note 18 to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.
Endesa is exposed to the opinion and perception projected to different stakeholders. This perception could deteriorate as a result of events produced by the Company or third parties over which it has little or no control. Should this occur, this could lead to economic detriment for the Company due, among other factors, to increased requirements on the part of regulators, higher borrowing costs or increased efforts to attract customers.
Although Endesa actively work to identify and monitor potential reputational events and stakeholders affected, and transparency forms part of its communications policy, there is no guarantee that it will not have its image or reputation impaired which, since the outcome would be unfavourable, will have an adverse effect on its business, operating results, financial position or cash flows.
Furthermore, Endesa cannot guarantee that it will maintain solid relationships and ongoing communication with suppliers, consumers and users and with the associations that represent them and, therefore, any change in these relationships could entail negative publicity and a significant loss of customers, which could adversely affect Endesa's business activities, results, financial position and cash flows.
