SUMMARY OF RESULTS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER 2021

Edenor has managed to sustain the improvement in its service quality levels together with an improvement in the efficiency of the use of its resources.

| In million of Pesos — in constant purchising power | 9 Months — 2021 | 2020 | Δ% | 3Q — 2021 | 2020 | Δ% | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Revenue from sales | 80,802 | 100,050 | (19%) | 29,236 | 34,961 | (16%) | | EBITDA | 6,129 | 7,830 | (22%) | 3,496 | 3,378 | 3% | | Adjusted EBITDA | 6,129 | 7,830 | (22%) | 3,496 | 3,378 | 3% | | Net income | (13,341) | (2,791) | 378% | (618) | 153 | (504%) | | Capital expenditures | 10,347 | 10,722 | (3%) | 3,599 | 4,253 | (15%) |

Revenue from sales decreased by 16%, reaching ARS 29,236 million in 3Q21, due to the fact that the company is renegotiating the tariff of the Distribution Value Added (VAD) and a decrease in revenues in real terms due to the effect of energy seasonal price purposes in an inflationary context. This effect was partially offset by an increase in demand driven by a recovery in commercial and industrial activity between the comparison periods, and the tariff adjustment applied as from May 1 st .

It should be taken into account that, during the same period in 2020, the Executive Branch maintained the Preventive and Mandatory Social Isolation (“ASPO”, in Spanish), so the inter-annual comparison base is unusually low.

Adjusted EBITDA had a positive increase of 3% in 3Q21, however, in the first nine months of 2021 it decreased 22% compared to the same period in 2020. The difference can be explained by a decrease in revenue from sales, which was offset by a decrease in operating costs; an improvement in energy losses; recognized income under the Framework Agreement for investments, and a 9% increase on average in the tariff for users since May 1 st , 2021.

Net results accumulated losses for ARS 618 million in 3Q21, increasing losses by ARS 771 million compared to the same period of last year.

During the last quarter, there was a higher gain in the operating income, higher financial losses mainly due to the deferral of the payment of obligations with the Wholesale Electricity Market and a higher result for exposure to changes in purchasing power (RECPAM).

During the first 9 months of 2021, investments reached ARS 10,347 million with no material changes in real terms compared to the same period of the previous year (-3%).

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK

Reopening of Commercial Offices

By means of Notes NO-2021-84330919-APN-ENRE#MEC and NO-2021-84786820-APN-ENRE#MEC notified on September 9, 2021, the National Electricity Regulatory Entity (ENRE in Spanish) instructed the Company to reopen the commercial offices that had been closed under ENRE´s instruction due to the Preventive and Mandatory Social Isolation (“ASPO” in Spanish) and the Preventive and Compulsory Social Distancing (“DISPO” in Spanish) stipulated by the Argentine government.

Liquidation - Discontinuance of Service and/or Cancellation of Title

The ENRE established the procedure through which the Company must demand the debt at the time of discontinuance of service or cancellation of title.

Framework Agreement

As of September 30, 2021, the Company received, under the Agreement described in Note 2.f) to the Financial Statements as of December 31, 2020, a first disbursement for $ 1,500, which, as indicated in such agreement, must be used specifically to comply with the Preventive and Corrective Work Plan of the Electric Distribution Network.

Revenues from sales

Revenue from sales decreased by 16% reaching ARS 29,236 million in 3Q21, against ARD 34,961 million in 3Q20. This due to the fact that the company is renegotiating the tariff of the Distribution Value Added (VAD) and the effect of energy seasonal price purposes in an inflationary context. This effect was partially offset by an increase in demand driven by a recovery in commercial and industrial activity between the comparison periods, and the tariff adjustment applied as from May 1 st .

Energy purchases

Energy purchases decreased by 22%, to ARS 17,039 million, in 3Q21, against ARS 21,715 million for the same period in 2020. In turn, the reference seasonal price for customers is still subsidized by the Federal Government, especially in the case of residential customers, where the subsidy reached 78% of the system’s actual generation cost in the third quarter of 2021, while the same was 17% for large users. Additionally, the energy loss rate decreased from 23% in 3Q20 to 19% in 3Q21.

Gross Margin

The gross margin corresponding to 3Q21 was ARS 12,197, which represents a fall of 8% compared to the same period of the previous year. In addition, a fall of 14% can be observed in the accumulated of the nine months closed as of September 30, 2021.

By means of Resolution No. 107/2021, the ENRE established new transitory tariffs schemes which are effective as of May and include a partial adjustment of tariffs of 9% on average for users. This increase entails a 20.9% increase in CPD for Edenor, which was not enough to offset the effects of inflation.

As regards the seasonal price, effective as of April, by means of Resolution No. 78/2021, the ENRE issued new tariffs schemes increasing the price of energy for large distribution users (GUDIS), making them equal to the large users of the wholesale electricity market (MEM). Such Resolution also included a 5% increase in the tariff (with the exception for residential users) pending as from August 2019, pursuant to Resolution No. 14/2019 by the Secretariat of Renewable Resources and Electricity Market, which had not been passed to tariff and was being burdened by Edenor. These increases in the seasonal price of energy are passed to final tariff without affecting Edenor's income.

Volume of Energy Sales

The volume of energy sales increased by 7%, reaching 5,795 GWh in 3Q21, against 5,434 GWh for the same period of 2020. As regards the accumulated of 9 months, it also meant an increase of 7%, reaching 16,469 GWh.

Furthermore, edenor ’s customer base rose by 2%, reaching 3.2 million of customers, mainly on account of the increase in residential customers and small commercials as a result of the market discipline actions and the installation over the last year of more than 34,958 integrated energy meters that were mainly intended for the regularization of clandestine connections.

The outbreak of the global pandemic has brought several consequences in economic activities worldwide that directly affected the Company’s activities, generating reduced collections, especially at the beginning of the lockdown. In addition, given the tariff delay, our income was highly committed. For these reasons, we have seen the need to partially defer payments to CAMMESA for the energy acquired in the Wholesale Electricity Market as from maturities taking place in March 2020. These obligations were partially regularized; even so, as of September 30, 2021 there is a debt of ARS 21,460 million before interest.

As regards the treatment of the debt accumulated, pursuant to Resolution No. 371/21 the Secretariat of Energy moved forward with the regulation of the “Special Liabilities Regularization Regime” and requested information to CAMMESA for their determination. As of the date of this report, the company has provided all the required information and is awaiting a definition by the Secretariat of Energy.

Operating expenses decreased by 11%, reaching ARS 10,732 million in 3Q21, against ARS 12,082 million in 3Q20. This is mainly explained by a lower impairment of trade receivables in the amount of ARS 1,346 million as a result of a normalization of receivables compared to the ASPO in force during the same period of the previous year. In turn, there was a lower consumption of supplies in the amount of ARS 161 million, and a lower depreciation of property, plant and equipment in the amount of ARS 217 million.

Financial results

Financial results experienced a 33% increase in losses, reaching ARS 4,914 million in 3Q21, against losses for ARS 3,697 million in 3Q20. This difference is mainly due to higher interest accrued on the debt incurred with CAMMESA, which to date accumulates interest for ARS 11,890 million. These results were partially offset by changes in the fair value of financial assets in the amount of ARS 784 million and lower losses from exchange differences in the amount of ARS 777 million due to a lower devaluation of the peso in the quarter and lower debt in foreign currency.

Net Income

Net income decreased by ARS 771 million, recording losses for ARS 618 million in 3Q21, against a gain of ARS 153 million for the same period in 2020. This can be explained by the impact of the decrease in income from the sale of services and the increase in financial expenses. In addition, the cumulative fall as of September 2021 is not only explained with the previous metrics, but also as a consequence of the income tax that generated a loss of ARS 1,405 million due to the higher income tax charge registered in the current period due to the adjustment generated by the deferred liability of the property, plant and equipment, which implies bringing the liabilities to an average rate of between 25% and 27% to a rate of 35%, which meant an additional loss of $ 7,473 million.

In addition, there was a higher gain in the operating income, higher financial charges due to the deferral of the payment of obligations with the Wholesale Electricity Market and a higher result for exposure to changes in purchasing power (RECPAM).

EBITDA

| In millon of Pesos — in constant purchising power | 9 Months — 2021 | 2020 | Δ% | 3Q — 2021 | 2020 | Δ% | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Net operating income | (515) | 783 | (166%) | 1,279 | 1,024 | 25% | | Depreciation of property, plant and equipment | 6,644 | 7,047 | (6%) | 2,217 | 2,354 | -6% | | EBITDA | 6,129 | 7,830 | (22%) | 3,496 | 3,378 | 3% |

EBITDA has a 3% increase in 3Q21, however, in the first nine months of the year, it decreased 22%, compared to the same period of the previous year. The difference can be explained by a decrease in revenue from sales, which was offset by a decrease in operating costs, an improvement in energy losses, and recognized income under the Framework Agreement for investments and an increase in the tariff since May 1 st , 2021.

There have been no EBITDA adjustments between the comparison periods.

Capital Expenditures

During the first 9 months of 2021, edenor ´s capital expenditures totaled ARS 10,347 million, a decrease of 3% in real terms compared to the same period of the previous year, against ARS 10,722 million in the same period of the last year. Investments for the period were as follows:

· ARS 1,235 million in new connections;

· ARS 3,799 million in grid enhancements;

· ARS 2,816 million in maintenance;

· ARS 109 million in legal requirements;

· ARS 797 million in communications and telecontrol;

· ARS 1,038 million in other investment projects

The difference in investments during the first nine months of 2021, compared to the same period of 2020, is mainly due to the impact of the extraordinary activation of $1,385 million of the 500/220 Kw 800 MVA transformer bank at General Rodriguez transformer station registered in the second quarter of last year which affects our 9-month comparison. Without this activation, investments would have shown more favorable numbers compared to 2020.

Then, the most outstanding investment in the third quarter of this year was the construction of 0.6 km of high voltage network that allowed high voltage in José C. Paz substation.

Service Quality Standards

The investment plan executed in recent years continues to show results that are reflected in a continuous improvement in the quality of service, by reducing the duration and frequency of outages since 2014, and thus exceeding the regulatory requirements set forth in the last comprehensive tariff review, and even exceeding this year the quality indicators required by the regulator for the end of the tariff period in February 2022.

Quality standards are measured based on the duration and frequency of service outages using SAIDI and SAIFI indicators. SAIDI refers to the duration of outages, and measures the number of outage hours a user experiences per year. SAIFI refers to the frequency of outages, and measures the number of times a user experiences an outage during a year.

At the closing of the third quarter of 2021, SAIDI and SAIFI indicators were 11.2 hours and 4.3 outages per year over the last 12 months, evidencing a 14% and 16% improvement, respectively, compared to the same period of the previous year. In turn, these indicators are 18% and 29% lower than target values required by the RTI for the end of 2021. This recovery in service levels is mainly due to the investment plan devised by the Company since 2014, the different improvements implemented in the operating processes, and the adoption of technology applied to the grid´s operation and management.

Energy Losses

In 3Q21, energy losses experienced a 19% decrease, against 23% for the same period of the previous year. Costs associated with these losses remained stable, experiencing a 53% decrease in real terms. This results in a ARS 1,390 million improvement in real terms.

The works of multidisciplinary teams to develop new solutions to energy losses continued, as well as Market Discipline (DIME) actions aiming to reduce them. Analytical and artificial intelligence tools were used to enhance effectiveness in the routing of inspections, and DIME actions continued with the objective of detecting and normalizing irregular connections, fraud and energy theft.

In addition, over the first nine months of 2021, 301,137 inspections of Tariff 1 (Residential users) were conducted with a 53% efficiency, while for the same period of the previous year 345,364 inspections were conducted with a 57 % efficiency. This means a 13% fall in inspections and a 4% fall in efficiency. Moreover, 34,958 Integrated Energy Meters (MIDE) were installed.

Regarding the recovery of energy, besides the normalization of customers with MIDE meters, clandestine customers with conventional meters were also put back to normal. Moreover, a new energy balance system was implemented, as well as the development of micro-balances in private neighborhoods. In all cases, a striking rate of recidivism in fraud has been observed.

Indebtedness

As of September 30, 2021, the outstanding principal of our dollar-denominated financial debt amounts to USD 98.1 million, whereas the cash position net of financial debt amounts to USD -80 million. Financial debt consists exclusively of Senior Notes maturing in 2022.

Sustainability

At Edenor we are committed to the sustainable development goals. Specifically, we made concrete and measurable contributions in 5 of these objectives: Good health and well being, quality education, affordable and clean energy, responsible consumption, production and partnerships to achieve the goals.
