COVID 19 - Macroeconomic, Operational and Accounting Impact

In late 2019, in the Chinese city of Wuhan, a virus, SARS-COV-2, that can cause a serious respiratory infection like pneumonia was first identified in humans. During the year 2020, the disease caused by the virus, the COVID-19, was classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a pandemic. COVID-19 has forced the world to change its habits and is having several social, economic, regulatory, operational, accounting and public health impacts.

Macroeconomic Impact

The current global crisis with the COVID-19 pandemic incorporates significant risks to the economy and society, remaining an uncertainty regarding the duration of the epidemic crisis and its long term economic impacts.

In global macroeconomic terms, COVID-19 has impacted the EDP Group's activity in its various geographies and across the value chain. However, a prudent strategy to hedge energy and financial market risks, the maintenance of robust liquidity levels as well as an active management of suppliers and critical supplies, have allowed to significantly mitigate the impacts of this crisis.

Operational Impact

The rapid and effective implementation of EDP's business continuity plans in its various Business Units allowed the continuity of operations during the period of confinement, without significant interruptions in the supply of energy or services to customers.

EDP's operational and investment activities are dependent on local and global supply chains, with active management of critical supplies being carried out to minimize potential impacts of breakages in these chains.

Accounting Impact

EDP Group has not applied any different classifications from those normally used in its condensed income statement, as a result of COVID-19. To assess possible accounting impacts arising from COVID-19, the Group reassessed the estimates it considers relevant and which may have been impacted by this fact. Thus, on 31 March 2021, the Group carried out a series of analyses of the relevant estimates and has not determined any materially relevant impacts compared to 31 December 2020.

The condensed consolidated and company financial statements of EDP SA, for the period ended 31 March 2021, were prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU up to 1 January 2021 and considering the International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 - "Interim Financial Report", so they do not include all the information required for the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's consolidated financial statements for the period ended on 31 December 2020.

1. Economic Activity of EDP Group

EDP - Energias de Portugal, S.A. (hereinafter referred to as EDP), currently with head office in Lisbon, Avenida 24 de Julho 12 and with its shares listed on the Euronext Lisbon stock exchange, results from the transformation of Electricidade de Portugal, E.P., incorporated in 1976 following the nationalization and consequent merger of the main companies in the electricity sector in Portugal. During 1994, as established by Decreelaws 7/91 and 131/94, the EDP Group (EDP Group or Group) was set up following the split of EDP, which led to a number of directly or indirectly wholly owned subsidiaries of EDP.

The Group's businesses are currently focused on the generation, transmission, distribution and supply of electricity and supply of gas. Additionally, the Group also operates in related areas such as engineering, laboratory tests, professional training, energy services and property management.

EDP Group operates essentially in the European (Portugal, Spain, France, Poland and Romania) and American (Brazil and North America) energy sectors.

2. Accounting Policies

a) Basis of presentation

The accompanying consolidated and company financial statements of EDP - Energias de Portugal, S.A. reflect the results of the company's operations and its subsidiaries (EDP Group or Group) and the Group's interest in its joint ventures and associated companies, for the periods ended on 31 March 2021 and 2020 and EDP S.A.'s Executive Board of Directors approved them on 13 May 2021, after that they are subject to General Meeting approval. The financial statements are presented in thousand Euros, rounded to the nearest thousand.

In accordance with Regulation (EC) 1606/2002 of the European Council and Parliament, of 19 July 2002, as transposed into Portuguese legislation through Decree-law 158/2009 of 13 July and the changes introduced through Decree-law 98/2015 of 2 June, the condensed company's financial statements and the condensed Group's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as endorsed by the European Union (E.U). IFRS comprise accounting standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as well as interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) and their predecessor bodies. The EDP Group's condensed consolidated and company financial statements for the period ended at 31 March 2021 were prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the E.U. until 1 January 2021 and considering the International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting. These financial statements do not include all the information required to be published on the annual financial statements, and should, therefore, be read together with the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2020.

EDP Group's activity does not have, at a quarterly basis, any significant seasonality.

Selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to understand the changes in the EDP Group's financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements.

3. Recent Accounting Standards and Interpretations Issued

Standards, amendments and interpretations issued effective for the Group

The amendments that have been issued and that are already effective and that the Group has applied on its financial statements, with no significant impacts, are the following:

  • IFRS 4 (Amended) - Deferral of effective dates to apply two optional solutions (temporary exemption from IFRS 9 and overlay approach); and
  • Amendments to IFRS 9, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 - Interest Rate Benchmark Reform (Phase 2).

Standards, amendments and interpretations issued but not yet effective for the Group

The standards, amendments and interpretations issued but not yet effective for the Group (whose effective application date has not yet occurred or, despite their effective dates of application, they have not yet been endorsed by the EU) for which no signifcant impact is expected, are the following:

  • IFRS 17 - Insurance Contracts;
  • IAS 1 (Amended) - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current;
  • IFRS 3 (Amended) - Reference to the Conceptual Framework;
  • IAS 16 (Amended) - Proceeds before Intended Use;
  • IAS 37 (Amended) - Onerous Contracts – Cost of Fulfilling a Contract;
  • Annual Improvement Project (2018-2020);
  • IA1 (Amended) - Disclosure of Accounting Policies;
  • IAS 8 (Amended) - Disclosure of Accounting Estimates; and
  • IFRS 16 (Amended) - Covid-19 Related Rents Concessions beyond 30 June 2021.

4. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements in Preparing the Financial Statements

IFRS requires the use of judgement and the making of estimates in the decision process regarding certain accounting treatments, with impact in total assets, liabilities, equity, costs and income. The actual effects may differ from these estimates and judgements, namely in relation to the effect of actual costs and income.

The critical accounting estimates and judgements made by management in applying EDP Group's accounting policies were the same as those applied to the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2020, with a special note for the following items.

Considering that in many cases there are alternatives to the accounting treatment adopted by EDP Group, the reported results could differ if a different treatment was chosen. The Executive Board of Directors believes that the choices made are appropriate and that the financial statements present fairly the Group operations in all material respects.

Ancillary Services

On 3 September 2018 the Autoridade da Concorrência (AdC) adopted a Note of Illegality, under which it intended to attribute to EDP Produção a behavior of abuse of a dominant position in the secondary regulation band market. AdC claimed that EDP Produção restricted the offer of a segment of the Electricity System (the secondary regulation band or teleregulation service) between 2009 and the first quarter of 2014, limiting the capacity offer of its plants under CMEC regime to benefit market power plants, in order to benefit twice, to the detriment of consumers. The same authority stressed that the adoption of a Note of Illegality does not determine the final result of this investigation, which began in September 2016. On 28 November 2018, EDP Produção exercised its right to be heard and to defend itself in relation to the wrongful act was imputed and the sanctions it could incur, that is, it responded to the Note of Illegality.

On 18 September 2019, AdC informed EDP Produção of its decision to condemn, imposing a fine of 48 million Euros, for alleged abuse of dominant position in the secondary regulation band market in mainland Portugal between 2009 and the first quarter of 2014.

According to AdC, EDP Produção would have manipulated its offer of tele-regulation service or secondary regulation band, limiting the capacity offer of its CMEC power plants to offer it through its market power plants, benefiting in two ways:

  • Highest compensation paid to CMEC plants (annual revisability), as their lower participation in the provision of secondary regulation band service would be below what would be expected (according to competitive market criteria); and
  • The increase of the market price of the secondary bandwidth service, as a result of the limited supply by CMEC plants, favoring market-based power plants.

On 30 October 2019, EDP Produção filed an appeal against this decision before the Competition, Regulation and Supervision Court (TCRS), awaiting the AdC's counter-allegations. On 20 May 2020, EDP Produção was notified of an order from TCRS, which, among other things, admitted its Appeal of Judicial Contestation, establishing a purely return effect and determining the payment of the fine imposed within 20 days. In this context, EDP Produção submitted requests, invoking supervening facts to demonstrate the considerable damage associated with a putative payment of the fine, and arguing defects in the decision that determined the attribution of a merely devolutive effect to the Judicial Challenge Appeal, and is waiting for a court decision on whether the fine can be replaced by some form of collateral, until there is a decision of the Court. On 16 July 2020, EDP Produção was notified of the TCRS's order which, in particular, suspended the advance payment of the fine. On 18 November 2020, EDP Produção was notified of the judgment of the Lisbon Court of Appeal that upheld the appeal filed by the Public Prosecutor's Office and revoked the referred TCRS order. EDP Produção appealed to the Constitutional Court on 30 November 2020, regarding the constitutionality of the interpretation given by the Lisbon Court of Appeal to the rule that defines the regime applicable to the decision that determines the effect of the judicial challenge of the AdC's condemnatory decisions, and on 22 February 2021, EDP Produção was notified that the Constitutional Court dismissed the appeal. In this context, EDP Produção, on 15 April 2021, filed a complaint to the Conference of the Constitutional Court to challenge the Summary Decision of non-admission rendered and strive for the admission of its constitutionality appeal, pending decision. It is also awaiting the appointment by the TCRS of the hearing of the appeal filed.

The EDP Group considers that EDP Produção did not abuse any dominant position, having acted strictly in accordance with the legal framework in force.

On 20 October 2020, EDP Produção became aware, by letter sent by DGEG, of the dispatch of the SEE regarding the approval of the revisibility for the year 2015, which is deducted in the amount of 72.9 million Euros, relating to the alleged overcompensation. In this respect, the EDP Group has registered a provision in the amount of 72.9 million Euros (see note 29), and carried out, on 19 January 2021, an administrative appeal against the order of SEE.

Hydro power plants of Fridão and Alvito

On 17 December 2008, EDP Produção and the Portuguese State signed the Contract for the Implementation of the National Program for High Hydroelectric Potential Power Plants (PNBEPH) regarding the Hydro Power Plants of Fridão (AHF) and Alvito (AHA), with the payment, by EDP Produção of 231.700 thousand Euros. Of this amount, 217,798 thousand Euros relates to the right to implement and exploit the AHF.

EDP Produção followed up on the procedures for the implementation of these projects, having, in the case of the AHF, obtained a Favorable Environmental Impact Declaration and an Environmental Compliance Report of the Execution Project (RECAPE).

On 22 October 2013, EDP Produção requested to the Minister of the Environment, Land Management and Energy, based on a change of circumstances, to postpone the signing of the concession contract for the AHF. This request was formally rejected on 2 May 2014, and the terms of the concession contract, were subsequently negotiated between EDP Produção and the Portuguese Environmental Agency (APA) and a specific date for the respective signature for 30 September 2015, which was revoked by the Government without rescheduling a new date.

In 2016, following the beginning of the XXI Constitutional Government, the Government Program provided the reassessment of the PNBEPH. In this context, it was agreed to suspend for three years the execution of the Contract for the implementation of the AHF, as well as the annulment of the implementation Contract regarding AHA, through a Memorandum of Understanding signed on 5 December 2016, concluded by an agreement between the Portuguese State and EDP Produção on 11 April 2017.

This deferral decision was taken based on public interest reasons, considering the evolution of installed power and energy demand since 2008 (conclusion date of the Implementation Contract) until 2016. It is not clear that the AHF would be an energy surplus that would offset the environmental impacts resulting from its implementation.

On 16 April 2019 EDP Produção received, by email, an official letter from the Ministry of the Environment and Energy Transition, dated 11 April 2019, informing the State's conclusion that there is no need for implementation of AHF to meet national targets for Renewable Energy Source and Greenhouse Gas Reduction, as well as "that the State does not find any reason to inhibit the construction of the Fridão Hydro Power Plant".

Simultaneously, the Minister of the Environment and Energy Transition (MATE) announced at the National Assembly, in a hearing at the Environment, Land-use Planning, Decentralization, Local Power and Housing Committee, that the State's decision was not to build the AHF and that "the State will always comply with the contract but believes there are no reasons for any repayment of the amount that was given to the State ten years ago". It acknowledged, however, that there was no agreement with EDP on this matter.

EDP Produção notified the Portuguese State to clarify that at no time did EDP express its intention to not proceed with the construction of power plant and to return all the investment already made, including the consideration paid on the provisional award, and, as well, to compensate it for other losses and damages resulting from the non-compliance, to be settled in a timely manner. As at 31 December 2019 the Group reclassified these Assets under construction to Other debtors and other assets and valued in accordance with the principles defined in IFRS 9 (see note 22).

Currently, the arbitral proceedings, initiated by EDP Produção in 24 January 2020 are in progress, having the Portuguese State submitted a rejoinder on 20 November 2020. A preliminary hearing was held in the first quarter of 2021 and the trial hearing during April 2021, with only a final decision expected for the second half of 2021.

Sale of the portfolio of Hydroelectric Projects

The project for the sale of the portfolio of Hydroelectric Projects ("AH") located in the Douro basin falls within the scope of EDP's strategic plan for 2019-2022, as presented to the market in March 2019 and reinforced with EDP's Strategic Plan 2021-2025 presented in February 2021, in particular within the scope of the balancing strategy of portfolio and capital reallocation, as a way to finance new investments, particularly in renewable energy, including in Portugal.

The transaction was concluded on 16 December 2020, through the sale of the entire share capital of the company Camirengia Hidroelétricos S.A. ("Camirengia"), by its sole shareholder, EDP - Energias de Portugal, S.A. ("EDP"), to the company Movhera - Hidroeléctricas do Norte, S.A. (previously known as Águas profundas, S.A., company incorporated in Portugal and therefore resident for tax purposes in Portugal, owned by the consortium formed by GDF International SAS, from ENGIE Group, by 40%, Mirova S.A. by 35% and Predica Prevoyance Dialogue du Credit Agricole, S.A. in 25%). The company Camirengia was incorporated under the simple demerger of EDP - Gestão da Produção de Energia, S.A. ("EDP Produção"), and for which complex net assets were detached from EDP Produção, comprised not only by the titles of use of the hydric resources related to the AH portfolio mentioned above, but also by a multiplicity of assets, liabilities, resources and contractual positions associated and necessary for the development of the exploration activity.

From a strictly operational, regulatory, technical and legal point of view, the demerger was the only viable and feasible option to proceed with the detachment of the AH portfolio, considering its size and complexity. In this sense, EDP followed the only model, the demerger and the subsequent sale of shares, that guaranteed the continuity of operations and the maintenance of all the commitments (including environmental commitments and commitments to municipalities) necessary for the AH normal operation in question and also to responded to the need of the buyer of acquiring a functional and autonomous company that would ensure the operation of all activity, without disruption, immediately after the sale -concerns that were also concerns of the regulator. On the other hand, the contractual model used in the implementation of the transaction is fully in line with market standards.

After its conclusion, the transaction was subject to media attention, based on the assumption that it constitutes a transfer of concessions and that, therefore, would be subject to the rate foreseen in paragraph 27.2 of General Table attached to the Stamp Duty Code. In EDP's view, that assumption is not at all applicable, and Stamp Duty Tax is not due,as the transation did not entail a transfer of concessions, but rather a demerge followed by the sale of the entire share capital of a company (Camirengia) holder of the patrimonial assets assigned to AH, in no case dealing with transactions subject to taxation under the Stamp Duty Tax.

In this context, on 16 March 2021, the President of the EDP Executive Board of Directors was requested to attend the National Assembly for the Environment, Energy and Spatial Planning Commission, in order to address the abovementioned transaction, where EDP had the opportunity to clarify all questions addressed by the Members present. In addition, on 1 April 2021, that Commission sent EDP a request for information and questions about the transaction. On 15 April, EDP, committed to contributing to the swift, full and definitive clarification of the questions that were presented, sent the National Assembly an answer to all the questions raised, and made available all the requested documentation, despite its private and confidential nature, as a testament to the collaborative, transparent and good faith attitude with which EDP has guided its relationship with the State and its institutions.

EDP scrupulously fulfills all of its obligations, including tax obligations, adopting very strict practices in the technical framework of all issues, having made this transaction under the tax framework applicable, assessing the tax rules in force on the date of the transaction, a framework that was also subject to validation by Opinions requested from reputable tax experts.

5. Financial Risk Management Policies

The Group monitors regularly the financial risks to which it has exposure to. During the first quarter of 2021, considering the COVID-19 pandemic and the impacts on the markets, namely on interest and foreign exchange rates to which the Group has exposure to, once again it concluded that the current Financial Risk Management Policies already incorporate worst case scenarios sufficiently conservative and therefore adequate to the Group profile, not being necessary its revision. However, given that the pandemic duration and global impacts are still unknown, the EDP Group continues to monitor the risks, seeking to anticipate and manage possible impacts not currently contemplated.

Exchange-rate and interest rate risk management

Sensitivity analysis - exchange rate

Regarding the financial instruments that result in an exchange rate risk exposure, a fluctuation of 10% in the EUR/USD exchange rate, as at 31 March 2021 and 2020, would lead to an increase/(decrease) in the EDP Group results and/or equity as follows:

Mar 2021
Profit or loss Equity
Thousand Euros +10% -10% +10% -10%
USD -28,906 35,329 -64,518 78,855
Mar 2020
Profit or loss Equity
Thousand Euros +10% -10% +10% -10%
USD 1,106 -1,351 -168,187 205,562

This analysis assumes that all other variables, namely interest rates, remain unchanged.

Sensitivity analysis - Interest rates (excluding the Brazilian operations)

Based on the Group's debt portfolio, except for Brazil, and the related derivative financial instruments used to hedge the related interest rate risk, a 50 basis points change in the reference interest rates at 31 March 2021 and 2020 would lead to an increase/(decrease) in the EDP Group results and/or equity as follows:

50 bp 50 bp 50 bp 50 bp

Trading derivatives (accounting perspective) -1,298 1,307 - -
-18,073 18,082 6,606 -6,606

This analysis assumes that all other variables, namely exchange rates, remain unchanged.

Brazil - Sensitivity analysis - Interest rates

Based on the portfolio of operations, a 25% change in the interest rates, to which the Brazilian subsidiaries are exposed to, would have an impact to EDP Energias do Brasil Group, at 31 March 2021 and 2020, in the amount of:

Mar 2021
Thousand Euros + 25% - 25%
Financial instruments - assets 5,245 -4,916

Liquidity risk management

The EDP Group undertakes management of liquidity risk through the engagement and maintenance of credit lines and financing facilities, with a firm underwriting commitment with international reliable financial institutions, as well as term deposits, allowing immediate access to funds. These credit lines are used to complement and backup national and international commercial paper programmes, allowing the EDP Group's shortterm financing sources to be diversified (see note 27). Considering the COVID-19 pandemic, the Group assessed the potential impacts on additional liquidity needs, having concluded that the current Liquidity Risk Management Policy remains adequate.

The table below shows the contractual undiscounted cash flows and the estimated interests due, computed using the rates available at 31 March 2021:

(i) The coupons of the hybrid bonds were included taking into consideration the earliest possible call date.

Energy market risk management

The main price and volume risk indicator used is the margin at risk (P@R), which estimates the impact of the variation of the different risk factors (price of electricity and hydrological) on the next 24 month's margin, P@R corresponding to the difference between an expected margin and a margin of a pessimistic scenario with a probability to occur of 5% (confidence interval of 95%) considering a time frame of 2 years. Both the volumes which are certain and those, which although uncertain, are expected, namely production of the plants and the corresponding consumption of fuel, are considered. The P@R distribution by business segment is as follows:

P@R Distribution
by business segment
Thousand Euros Mar 2021 Dec 2020
Business Portfolio
Electricity Trading 4,849 5,000
Electricity Trading + Hedging 128,855 80,412
Gas Hedging 21,224 38,725
Diversification effect -20,161 -26,668
134,767 97,469

Regarding credit risk, the quantification of exposure considers the amount and type of transaction (e.g. swap or forward), the rating of the counterparty risk that depends on the probability of default and the expected value of credit to recover, which varies depending on the guarantees received or the existence of netting agreements. The EDP Group's exposure to credit risk rating is as follows:

Mar 2021 Dec 2020
Credit risk rating (S&P)
AAA to AA- 0,00% 4.44%

Additionally, it also includes the revenue related to the asset to be received by EDP Group under the transmission concessions in Brazil (see note 21).

On a consolidated basis, the variation of the caption Revenues and cost of Energy Sales and Services and Other is essentially explained by the changes in consolidation perimeter that occurred in 2020 and by the devaluation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro.

Capitalised borrowing costs includes the interest capitalised in assets under construction according to Group accounting policy. Regarding the rate applicable to borrowing costs related with tangible/intangible assets under construction that is used in the determination of the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation (see notes 14 and 16), it varies depending on business unit, the country and currency, since EDP Group incorporates in its scope of consolidation a significant number of subsidiaries in several geographies with different currencies.

The Unwinding of discounted liabilities refers essentially to: (i) the unwinding of the dismantling and decommissioning provision for wind generation assets of 1,237 thousand Euros (31 March 2020: 2,190 thousand Euros) (see note 29); (ii) the implied financial return in institutional partnerships of 18,914 thousand Euros (31 March 2020: 22,257 thousand Euros) (see note 30); and (iii) the financial expenses related to the discount of the liability associated to the concessions of Alqueva/Pedrógão, Investco and Enerpeixe of 8,945 thousand Euros (31 March 2020: 4,596 thousand Euros).

The Derivative financial instruments caption includes income and expenses related with financial assets and liabilities measured and fair value through profit and loss, while the remaining captions of financial income and expenses are registered at amortised cost, based on the effective interest rate method.

Financial income and expenses, for the Company, are as follows:

The caption Other financial income includes 1,695 thousand Euros related to nominal interests from bonds issued by EDP Finance B.V., repurchased by EDP S.A. (see notes 22 and 37). The effective interest of these instruments amounts to 157 thousand Euros (includes the recognition of premium and transaction costs associated with the buyback transaction by the effective interest rate method).

The fluctuation of Financial Costs and Profit in EDP Group is mainly explained by the reduction of the cost of debt, both by a reduction of the average cost of debt and by the debt buyback occurred in 2020, with an impact of 56,897 thousand Euros.

The fluctuation on Financial Results, on an individual basis, is mainly explained by the above-mentioned point for EDP Group, but as well as by significant gains in derivative financial instruments related to debt.

13. Income Tax

The following note includes an analysis on the reconciliation between the theoretical and the effective income tax rate applicable at the level of the EDP Group, on a consolidated basis. In general terms, this analysis aims to quantify the impact of the income tax, recognised in the income statement, which includes both current and deferred tax.

Relevant events for EDP Group with impact in 2021

EDP is monitoring, in the countries where it is present, tax measures designed to help mitigate the economic effects of the COVID-19 outbreak. To date, these measures have not constitute material impacts in the geographies where the EDP Group is present.

The Spanish state budget for 2021 introduced amendments to the participation exemption regime, under which the exemption for dividends and capital gains from domestic and foreign subsidiaries would be limited to 95% of the income. Given the standard Corporate Income Tax (CIT) rate in Spain, the effective tax rate on dividends and capital gains derived by Spanish companies would be 1.25%, not susceptible of elimination under Spanish CIT group taxation.

The statutory corporate income tax rates applicable in the main countries in which EDP Group operates which were updated are as follows:

Mar 2021 Mar 2020
Europe:
France 26,5% - 27,5% 28% - 32.02%
Spain 24% - 25% 25% - 26%

Corporate income tax provision

Income tax expense is as follows:

Group Company
Thousand Euros Mar 2021 Mar 2020 Mar 2021 Mar 2020
Current tax 26,898 -210,847 10,293 20,095
Deferred tax -89,688 118,421 7,710 -89
-62,790 -92,426 18,003 20,006

Reconciliation between the theoretical and the effective income tax expense

The effective income tax rate is as follows:

Group Company
Thousand Euros Mar 2021 Mar 2020 Mar 2021 Mar 2020
Profit before tax and CESE 372,688 391,172 -42,593 -96,059
Income tax expense -62,790 -92,426 18,003 20,006
Effective income tax rate 16.8% 23.6% 42.3% 20.8%

The difference between the theoretical and the effective income tax expense results from the application of the law provisions, in the various countries where EDP operates, in the determination of the taxable base, as demonstrated below.

The reconciliation between the theoretical and the effective income tax expense for the Group, in March 2021 and 2020, is as follows:

Thousand Euros Mar 2021 Mar 2020
Profit before income tax and CESE 372,688 391,172
Theoretical income tax rate * 29.5% 29.5%

The negative net movement in Spain is mainly due to payments made in the period.

EDP and its subsidiaries' Board of Directors, based on the information provided by its legal advisors and on the analysis of pending law suits, have recognised provisions to cover the losses estimated as probable, related with litigations in progress.

In their ordinary course of business, EDP Group subsidiaries are involved in several litigations and contingencies (of possible risk) of administrative, civil, tax, labour and other natures. These legal, arbitration or other actions, involve customers, suppliers, employees and administrative. In EDP Group and its legal advisors' opinion, the risk of a loss in these actions is not probable, and the outcome will not affect on a material way its consolidated financial position.

The processes whose losses were considered as possible, do not require the recognition of provisions and are periodically reassessed. As at 31 March 2021, there were no significant changes in the losses considered as possible as of 31 December 2020, with the following exception:

i) Within E-Redes – Distribuição de Eletricidade, S.A. there is a contingency established by Gás Natural Comercializador, S.A. (GNC), for the undue payment of tariffs for access to networks charged by E-Redes – Distribuição de Eletricidade, S.A. and surplus consumption by Repsol Polimeros, S.A. The situation is related with the attribution of a proper consumption producer status to Repsol Polimeros, S.A. in June 2014, being this energy invoiced only from October 2015 onwards. Regarding the year 2015, GNC was reimbursed for the over paid amounts, therefore the claim is only on payments about the second half of 2014, in the amount of 5,724 thousand Euros. As at 31 December 2020, the value of this contingency is divided between a probable risk of loss in the amount of 2,308 thousand Euros and the remain value with a classification of risk as possible. According to the expert report issued in the meantime, it came to recognize that, with regard to the Network Access Tariffs ("TAR"), despite the fact that at the time of the facts, the self-consumption statute has not yet been approved and that, therefore, E-Redes – Distribuição de Eletricidade, S.A. situation was not clear, the amount of TAR charged by the company would have been higher than the amount actually due by GNC. With regard to the amount claimed by GNC as "excess consumption", the consolidated expert report concluded that "the reliquidation taking into account the adjustments between 13 June 2014 and 31 December 2014, according to the hourly values presented by GNC for that period, would generate a return to GNC whose approximate value estimates that it could be in the range between 3,192 thousand Euros and 3,271 thousand Euros ". Consequently, and with reference to 31 December 2020, the probable contingency amount of 2,308 thousand Euros (referring to the value of TAR) was updated to 5,579 thousand Euros; the difference refers to the higher amount indicated in the expert report as the amount allegedly owed by GNC to excess consumption securities. The provision amount was also updated accordingly, with the remainder remaining as possible, 144 thousand Euros. In October 2020, the experts presented the clarifications requested by the Court, and the judgment hearing was scheduled for January 2021. The parties entered into negotiations in order to reach agreement, which led to the suspension of the proceedings and consequently the non-operation of such a hearing. On 10 March 2021, E-Redes submitted an agreement proposal to GNC, which was accepted, pending the approval of the agreement by the Court.

ii) On 3 September 2018, the Portuguese Competition Authority (AdC) notified EDP Produção with Statement of Objections, under which EDP Produção is accused of abuse of a dominant position in the secondary regulation band market (a part of the ancillary services market). AdC claims that EDP Produção has deliberately limited the participation of CMEC plants in the secondary regulation market between 2009 and 2014, benefitting its non-CMEC power plants. The alleged benefit, in detriment of consumers, would be twofold: receiving higher compensation under CMEC annual adjustment regime; profiting from higher market prices in said market. AdC has estimated that the alleged practice of EDP Produção has generated damages to the national electricity system and to consumers of around 140 million Euros. AdC pointed out that the adoption of a Statement of Objections did not determine the result of the investigation, which began in September 2016 and is still in course. On 28 November 2018, EDP Produção presented to AdC its facts about the accusation. On 18 September 2019, AdC has notified EDP Produção for an alleged infraction to competition rules. This contingency was estimated with a value of 48 million Euros and it graduation was assessed as possible. On 30 October 2019, EDP Produção presented an appeal against this decision to the TCRS. On 20 May 2020, EDP Produção was notified of a decision by the TCRS, which, among other things, admitted its Judicial Challenge Appeal, establishing a purely return effect and determining the payment of the fine imposed within 20 days. In this regard, EDP Produção submitted requests, invoking supervening facts for the demonstration of considerable damage, and arguing defects in the decision that determined the attribution of a merely devolution effect to the Judicial Challenge Appeal. On 16 July 2020, EDP was notified of an order which implied the existence of substantial losses if the fine was paid in advance. Thus, the payment order was therefore suspended. On 18 November 2020, EDP Produção was notified of a decision by the Lisbon Court of Appeal, granting the appeal presented by the Public Prosecutor and, consequently, revoking the order of TCRS of 16 July 2020. EDP Produção appealed of this judgment to the Constitutional Court on 30 November 2020. On 22 February 2021, EDP Produção was notified of the decision of the Constitutional Court in the sense of not knowing the object of the appeal, on 15 April 2021, EDP Produção submitted a complaint to the Constitutional Court conference to contest the Summary Decision of non-admission rendered and to fight for the admission of its constitutionality appeal, pending a decision on this complaint. On 4 and 5 January 2021, the TCRS issued an order to definitively set out the evidence issues to be discussed at the hearing and to designate the trial dates (between March and May 2021), which have since been cleared, pending the appointment of new dates for this purpose.

iii) On 9 September 2020, Portsines - Terminal Multipurpose de Sines, SA (Portsines) filed an arbitration lawsuit against EDP Produção, to obtain its condemnation in the payment of the amounts relating to port fees, allegedly provided for in the Contract for Provision of Services celebrated between both. In summary, Portsines intends to obtain the condemnation of EDP Produção to the payment of the so-called fixed rate provided for in the Contract, even concerning periods in which there is no unloading of coal destined for the Sines Thermoelectric Power Station, claiming in particular that the referred fee remunerates the investment made by you in said infrastructure and makes its actual use by EDP Produção irrelevant. On 2 November 2020, a decision was handed down that ordered EDP Produção to pay (i) the amount invoiced and overdue of 590 thousand Euros related to the fixed rate of the first quarter of 2020; (ii) the amount invoiced and falling due of 590 thousand Euros related to the fixed rate of the second quarter of 2020; (iii) conditionally, until the end of the Concession Contract or until the end of the Contract, whichever occurs first, the amount of 599 thousand Euros for the third and fourth quarters of 2020 and each of the four quarters of the year 2021 and first two quarters of the year 2022; and (iv) conditionally, alternatively, full payment of the current fixed fee amount of 3,074 thousand Euros, divided quarterly, during the period between the date of the eventual termination of the Contract between Tejo Energia and Portsines and the end of the Contract Concession or Contract between EDP Produção and Portsines, whichever comes first; (v) interest due and falling due at the applicable rate. On 2 December 2020, EDP Produção filed an Appeal against the aforementioned Arbitral Award, to the Lisbon Court of Appeal, within which a request for annulment of the final decision was also deducted. The amount of the contingency amounts to 5,896 thousand Euros, with the risk being classified as possible. In January 2021, executions were initiated by Portsines to comply with the decision handed down by the Arbitral Tribunal, under which EDP Produção provided a guarantee. However, in April the parties entered into an agreement that provides for the termination of the contract between both parties and that ended the pending cases, that is to say, the Appeal filed by EDP Produção at the Lisbon Court of Appeal, as well as the executions brought by Portsines against the company.

Finally, even if EDP Group classifies its risk as remote, it is important to identify the following litigation:

i) On 27 October 2009 and 5 January 2010, the EDP Group received two tax settlements regarding 2005 and 2006 taxable income for the EDP tax Group, which included an adjustment of 591 million Euros regarding its subsidiary, EDP Internacional SGPS, related to the tax treatment considered by the EDP Group in relation to a capital loss generated with the liquidation of a subsidiary, whose main assets consisted of investments in operating subsidiaries in Brazil, namely EDP Espírito Santo and Enersul. As at 31 March 2021, the amount of this tax contingency amounts to 301 million euros (31 December 2020: 299 million euros).

Considering the analysis made, the technical advice received and a favourable binding opinion obtained from the tax authorities in relation to the nature of the transaction occurred in the year of the assessment, the EDP Group considers as remote the risk associated with this matter. Under this analysis, the capital loss is tax deductible for income tax purposes as established in article 75 no. 2 of the Corporate Income Tax Code ("Código do IRC") based on the wording of the law in force at that date (existing article 81).

Given the above, and considering that the EDP Group's tax procedures comply with applicable Portuguese tax legislation at the date of the events, the Group is currently using all available legal means to contest these additional settlements. Thus, following the implied rejection of the hierarchical appeal, EDP presented a judicial claim, on 6 June 2012. In November 2018, EDP Group was notified with a decision in favour. The Treasuary filed an appeal on that decision.

The assets and liabilities associated with Moray West Holdings Limited remain classified as non-current assets and liabilities held for sale under the sale plan that the EDPR Group has entered into in the past.

In the second quarter of 2020, the EDP Group agreed to sell a portfolio of two CCGTs power plants (Castejón I & III), with 843 MW of installed capacity located in Navarra, North of Spain and the B2C energy supply business in Spain, which includes 1.2 million clients in free market, and the 50% stake in our joint venture with CIDE for electricity supply in this segment (CHC Energia). This transaction was partially completed in December 2020. Furthermore, following CIDE's exercise of its preferential right for the acquisition of EDP's 50% shareholding in CHC Energia, EDP and CIDE have reached an agreement for the acquisition by CIDE which was completed in the first quarter of 2021 (see note 6).

On 1 April 2021, EDP Real Estate Global Solutions - Imobiliária e Gestão Participações S.A. agreed to sell the entire stake it held in Portsines - Terminal Multipurpose de Sines, S.A. to the other shareholder of the Company, Empresa de Trânsito e Estiva, S.A. At 31 March 2021, this asset was presented as a non-current asset held for sale.

On 8 April 2021, EDPR Group signed a sale and purchase agreement with a funds managed by Greencoat Capital to sell an 55% equity shareholding in a onshore wind portfolio located in the United States with 405 MW. Assets and liabilities associated with this transaction that met all the conditions for its sale were presented in non-current assets and liabilities held for sale.
