These Financial Statements are presented in thousands of euros (unless otherwise stated).
The accompanying Financial Statements do not include the information or disclosures which the Group did not consider of material significance or important relative to the concept of materiality as defined in the conceptual framework of the National Charts of Accounts, taking into account the Financial Statements as a whole.

The accompanying Financial Statements, which were obtained from the Company's accounting records, are presented in accordance with the regulatory financial reporting framework applicable to the Company and, in particular, with the accounting principles and criteria set out therein and, accordingly, provide a true and fair view of the Company's equity, financial position, results of operations, the statement of changes in equity and cash flows during the year. These Financial Statements have been prepared by the Directors of the Company and will be submitted for approval by the General Shareholders Meeting. It is expected that they will be approved without modification.
The information included in these Notes relating to 2017 is presented solely and exclusively for purposes of comparison with the information relating to 2018.
The results and determination of assets and liabilities disclosed in the Financial Statements are sensitive to the accounting principles and policies, measurement bases and estimates used by the Company's Directors.
In the 2018 Financial Statements, the Company's Directors have occasionally used estimates, subsequently ratified by the Directors, in order to quantify certain assets, liabilities, income, expenses and commitments recognized therein. These estimates related basically to the following:
Certain items on the Balance Sheet, the Income Statement and the Statement of Changes in Equity and Cash Flow Statement are grouped together to make them easier to understand, although when individual data is significant, specific information has been included in the respective Notes to these Financial Statements.
In 2018 there were no significant changes in accounting policies with respect to those applied in 2017.
• The fair value of equity instruments granted under the Long-Term Incentive Plan ("ILP") (Note 4.4).
Although these estimates were made on the basis of the best information available at December 31, 2018 regarding the facts analysed, it is possible that future events may require these to be modified (upwards or downwards) in the years ahead. This would be carried out prospectively, recognizing the effects of the changes to accounting estimates in the Financial Statements.
During the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2018, there were no significant changes to the estimates made at 2017 yearend, and thus future periods are also not expected to be affected.
1.4 Investments in group and multigroup companies
• Investments in equity of group and multigroup companies are measured at cost, less, where applicable, any accumulated impairment losses. Said impairment losses are calculated as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and its recoverable amount, understood as being either fair value less cost of sale or the present value of future cash flows arising from the investment, whichever is greater.
In the absence of better evidence of a recoverable amount, the equity of the affiliate is taken into account, after adjusting for any unreleased gains at the date of measurement (including any goodwill).

• This heading comprises financial assets arising from the sale of goods or the rendering of services in the course of the Company's business, or financial assets which,
not having commercial substance, are not equity instruments or derivatives with fixed or determinable payments and are not traded in an active market.
The breakdown of accounts under the heading "Investments in Group and multigroup companies", both short- and long-term at year-end 2018 and 2017 is as follows:
| 2018 | 2017 | |
|---|---|---|

The "Other financial assets" heading includes the different accounts receivable from the investment in Gasoducto del Sur Peruano (hereinafter "GSP"), a company directly owned by Enagás Internacional, S.L.U. In relation to this investment, on January 24, 2017, the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons of the Peruvian Government's Ministry of Energy and Mines (hereinafter the 'State of Peru') sent an official letter to GSP stating 'the termination of the concession agreement owing to causes attributable to the concession holder', in accordance with the terms of Clause 6.7 of the 'Improvements to the Energy Security of the Country and the Development of the Gasoducto Sur Peruano' (hereinafter "the Project") concession agreement, because the financial close had not been evidenced within the period established in the agreement (January 23, 2017), and proceeded to the immediate enforcement of the totality of the guarantee for full compliance given by GSP (262.5 million dollars), to ensure fulfilment of the obligations relating to the concession, which in the case of Enagás generated a payment of 65.6 million dollars. Also in January 2017, they paid bank financing sureties to Enagás amounting to 162 million dollars, including both principal and interest pending payment. In
December 2017, the process for delivering the Concession Assets held by GSP was substantially completed with the Peruvian State assuming control over them.
As a result of the termination of the concession contract, the Peruvian State had the obligation to apply clause 20 of the Concession Contract, calculating the Net Carrying Amount (hereinafter NCA) of the Concession Assets, calling three auctions to award the Concession, with the auction result being to pay GSP the NCA, based on the opinion of the external and internal legal advisors of Enagás. With the amount that GSP would have received for the NCA of the Concession Assets, it would have been able to settle its obligations to third parties and, if possible, reimburse the capital contributions made by its shareholders, as explained in the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Enagás Group for 2016 and 2017.
As a result of inaction by the State of Peru in relation to the aforementioned procedure, on December 19, 2017, Enagás notified the Peruvian State about the existence of a dispute relating to the investment in GSP with a view to reaching an

amicable agreement on the terms of article 9.1 of the Agreement for the Reciprocal Promotion and Protection of APPRI in Spanish signed by the Republic of Peru and the Kingdom of Spain. This notification represented the beginning of the six-month period for direct contact prior to initiating international arbitration in which the APPRI acts as the mechanism for recovering the investment in GSP.
Once the six months permitted for the direct dealing between Enagás and the State of Peru has elapsed without it being possible to reach an amicable arrangement over the foregoing controversy, on July 2, 2018 an application for arbitration proceedings was submitted to the ICSID against the Peruvian State with regard to the investment in GSP.
Through this arbitration procedure, it is expected that the State of Peru will reimburse Enagás for its investment in GSP, as this is the mechanism used to recover the financial assets registered on the accompanying Balance Sheet. Accordingly, the Arbitration Court that rules on the arbitration procedure at the ICSID will deal with the arguments of Enagás, and hand down an award recognising that the State of Peru has failed to protect the investment of Enagás in accordance with the APPRI and, therefore, must compensate it by paying the value of this investment.
The ICSID procedure is currently at the stage of being constituted at the Arbitration Court. Once it has been constituted, the stage for written and verbal actions will commence, which is scheduled for the second quarter of 2019.
Enagás' core argument is that, if the State of Peru had complied with its obligation under the Concession Agreement, it would have calculated the NCA and would have announced the three auctions to which it was obliged in order to award the Concession, the results of the auction would have been handed to GSP, who would have applied the amount surrendered to paying off its creditors and reimbursing the capital to its shareholders. The source of the payments waterfall is 100% as a consequence of the NCA, given that on January 24, 2018 one year had elapsed without the auctions being announced. The absence of the auction means that the legal advisers of Enagás believe that GSP should be considered to have received 100% of the NCA, as it was deprived of the possibility of receiving it as a consequence of not calling the auctions. Therefore, based on the NCA considered, a certain payments waterfall would have applied.
Enagás considers that, taking into account the NCA of the Concession Assets determined by an independent expert, and also taking into account the payment waterfall as per the terms of the insolvency legislation, as well as the contracts between Enagás and the members of GSP relating to subordination and credit agreements, if the State had satisfied their obligations, and thus paid GSP, Enagás would have recovered its investment.
With regard to the amount of the NCA, on December 12, 2018 GSP and the Consorcio Constructor Ductos del Sur (hereinafter CCDS), in charge of construction of the GSP project, signed the termination of the lump-sum EPC-Turnkey contract for the engineering, procurement and construction of the Project's transmission system signed by both parties. By virtue of this termination, and also considering the value of the assets that have not been delivered to date to the State of Peru, in December 2018 a new appraisal was carried out by firm of independent experts contracted by Enagás, determining an updated NCA value of 1,977 million dollars.
Taking into account this updated NCA, if the payment waterfall were to be applied to it as per the terms of the insolvency laws, the subordination and the assignment of credit agreements entered into by Enagás and its aforementioned partners in GSP, Enagás would recover the total value of its investment.
With regard to the aforementioned subordination and the assignment of credit agreements, their efficacy and method of application has been questioned successively by the partners of Enagás at GSP through different arbitration procedures. In this regard, the arbitration applications filed by Odebrecht have been the object of withdrawal in December 2018, although Graña y Montero has filed new claims and a new application for arbitration also in December 2018. With respect to these arbitration proceedings, the Peruvian legal advisors consider that, according to the arguments raised to date, the possibility of their effectiveness and application being different from that envisaged by Enagás is remote, considering that the aforementioned agreements are fully valid and applicable.
As regards the arbitration proceedings against the State of Peru, based on the conclusions determined by the external and internal legal advisers, the recoverability of the totality of the Enagás investment in GSP, consisting of receivables in relation to the aforementioned enforced guarantees to the total of 226.8 million dollars, interests of 1.8 million dollars, various invoices for professional services provided to the amount of 7.6 million dollars and the share capital contributed to GSP for the amount of 275.3 million dollars, is considered likely.
With regard to the recovery period, considering the time it takes to resolve a dispute of this complexity in international arbitration proceedings, the estimated date for the recovery of the investment made by Enagás in GSP is thought to be December 31, 2021 from the lodging of the request to the commencement of arbitration proceedings. Based on this, the amounts outlined in the preceding paragraph are recorded at their updated value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet dated December 31, 2018 for a total amount of 402,635 thousands of euros (382,013 thousands of euros at December 31, 2017).
On March 12, 2018, Law No. 30737 was published guaranteeing immediate payment to the Peruvian government to repair civil damage caused by corruption and related crimes. On May 9, 2018, Supreme Decree 096-2018-EF was published, enacting the regulations of the aforementioned law.
In accordance with Article 9 of Law no. 30737, legal persons and legal entities in the form of partnerships, consortiums and joint ventures who may have benefited from the awarding of contracts, or subsequent to it, jointly with persons who have been convicted or who may have acknowledged having committed crimes against the public administration, asset laundering or related crimes, or their equivalents against the State of Peru, in Peru or abroad are classified as Category 2, and therefore fall within its scope of application.
Even without evidence of a criminal conviction or a confession of the commission of crimes, as required under Article 9 of Law No. 30737, on June 28, 2018, the State of Peru classified Enagás Internacional on the "List of Contracts and Subjects of Category 2 indicating the legal person or legal entity included under Section II of Law No.30737" in relation to the concession contract awarded to GSP. The application of the mentioned standard involves different measures such as setting up an escrow account, reporting information, the limitation of transfers to other countries or the preparation of a compliance programme.
According to different communications media in Peru and news items that have arisen during December 2018, the Odebrecht Group would have signed, in February 2019, a collaboration agreement with the Attorney General's Office of Peru in which the GSP project would not be included as one of the projects affected. There is currently nothing that exists or is known that in any consistent or evidential way that suggests that GSP is involved in

corruption and there should therefore be no reasons to enforce that Trust.
The total amount of the Trust, estimated at 50% of the total average net equity, corresponding to its participation in GSP, will be communicated by the Ministry of Justice, given that the amount is estimated to be less than 65 million dollars. The Ministry of Justice has recently been notified of necessary information for the estimation of the amount, and the company is presently awaiting confirmation to implement the Trust at a later date.
Moreover, Law no. 30737 also imposes a ban on companies included on the list from making transfers to outside of Peru, which, based on of the conclusions of the external and internal legal advisers, would only be application to investment in GSP, notwithstanding a restriction on dividends to pay for the COGA and TGP societies, also considering that investment in the latter is protected by the Legal Stability Agreement in Peru. It should be noted that Enagás, S.A. holds an indirect stake in these companies through its holding in Enagás Internacional, S.L.U.
In light of the above, is still maintained at the present date that these regulations do not have a negative effect on the recovery of accounts receivable through the arbitration process indicated above.
Notwithstanding the foregoing regarding the signing of the Effective Collaboration Agreement between Odebrecht and the Public Prosecutor's Office of Peru, there have been no new developments to date regarding the actions of the Peruvian Public Prosecutor's Office regarding the investigation of Odebrecht's activities in Peru and other investigations carried out by various organs of the Peruvian Public Prosecutor's Office for alleged crimes that could in any way be related to the awarding of the project "Improvements to the country's energy security and development of the South Peruvian Gas Pipeline", and the situation described in
Note 1.4.c of the Financial Statements of Enagás, S.A. for fiscal year 2017, has been maintained. The above-mentioned note states that two investigations are ongoing: (i) the first, File 321- 2014, related to aggravated collusion between a former Odebrecht employee and a public official, whose stage of control and disencumbrance was left without effect until the Supreme Court ruling on the appeal filed by the Peruvian Ad Hoc Prosecutor's Office in order to include one of Odebrecht's subsidiaries as a civil third party. At this stage it is expected that a decision on the opening of oral proceedings will be made, foreseeable during the second half of 2019.
Based on the opinions of Enagás external legal advisors for the Peruvian criminal code, the possibility of sentencing Odebrecht's former employee is considered to be remote. In this same case, the preparatory investigative court has declared the incorporation of GSP as a liable third party as wrongful. The second investigation underway, identified by File 12-2017, is in its preliminary stage at the level of the Attorney General's office and involves the investigation of an Enagás employee. Based on the opinions of our external legal advisors for the Peruvian criminal code, there are no indications that these investigations may conclude negatively for Enagás.
Based on all the above, the directors of Enagás, in accordance with the opinions of its external and internal legal advisors, as well as an independent expert and an independent expert accountant, consider that these circumstances will not have an impact on the estimated recoverable amount of the investment in GSP and the aforementioned receivable balances totalling 402,635 thousands of euros.

The appropriation of 2018 profit corresponding to the Company proposed by the Board of Directors and which will be submitted for approval by the General Shareholders' Meeting is as follows:

| TOTAL | 371,222 | 349,454 |
At a meeting held on November 19, 2018, the Board of Directors of Enagás, S.A. agreed to distribute an interim dividend charged against 2018 profit, based on the necessary liquidity statement, expressed in thousands of euros, amounting to 145,917 thousands of euros (0.612 euros gross per share), in accordance with article 277 of the Spanish Corporate Enterprises Act.

| Guarantee on the TAP debt | 452,589 | - | |
| Total | 3,823,466 | 3,473,179 |
The guarantees outlined above mainly correspond to:
The corporate guarantee was granted by Enagás, S.A. jointly with TAP's other partners, so Enagás will only be liable, hypothetically, for the amount corresponding to its holding the share capital of TAP.
At December 31, 2018 the amount guaranteed by Enagás to the creditors of TAP amounts to 452,589 thousands of euros.
This guarantee will be released subject to compliance with certain conditions agreed with TAP's creditors, essentially related to the commissioning of the project.
Following commissioning and until the maturity of the loan, there will also be a shareholders' support mechanism, which in the case of the Enagás Group is Enagás Internacional S.L.U, for the repayment of the TAP loan through capital contributions or direct payments to the creditors (Debt Payment Undertaking), to be activated under certain extraordinary circumstances.
Both the guarantee during the construction period and this support mechanism during the operating period are contractually limited by a cap in force throughout the life of the financing arrangement, so that the amounts claimed from Enagás may never exceed a total amount of 903,322 thousands of euros, regardless of the market value of the derivative or any other contingency.
• At December 31, 2017, the commitment acquired in the existing Financing Agreement with the company Knubbsäl Topholding AB (Swedegas Group) in the amount of 24,131 thousands of euros was included, through which the Enagás Group undertook to grant a corporate guarantee in favour of the financing entities if the Financing Agreement currently existing has not been cancelled or refinanced six months before its expiration, which is established for the month of July 2022.
In this respect, at November 21, 2018, the entire stake of Enagás Internacional S.L.U in the Swedegas Group was sold to FS Gas Transport AB, so that, at December 31, 2018, Enagás, S.A. did not have this guarantee.
Furthermore, Enagás, S.A. guarantees the amount drawn down by Enagás Financiaciones, S.A.U. in the Euro Commercial Paper Programme (ECP) (Note 3.2.b). At December 31, 2018, Enagás Financiaciones, S.A.U. had not drawn down any amounts.
This caption records the guarantee agreed by Enagás, S.A. regarding the obligations of Enagás Internacional, S.L.U. towards Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund S.A. for its participation in the sale of 66% of Hellenic Gas Transmission System Operator, S.A. (hereinafter 'DESFA'), for the amount of 21,400 thousands of euros. Said guarantee was cancelled on January 9, 2019 when the transaction was closed on December 20, 2018.
At December 31, 2017, guarantees for full compliance granted to Group entities in connection with obligations acquired under concessions, counter-guaranteed by Enagás, S.A. in the amount of 8,376 thousands of euros; cancelled during 2018.

Lastly, the guarantees and sureties granted to group companies at December 31, 2018 include the technical sureties granted to third parties by Enagás Transporte, S.A.U. in the amount of 5,123 thousands of euros (5,123 thousands of euros at December 31, 2017) and Gas to Move Transport Solutions S.L., in the amount of 1,469 thousands of euros, both counter-guaranteed by Enagás, S.A.
of euros in financial year 2017), of which 6,411 thousands of euros correspond to guarantees formalized with Banco Santander (6,411 thousands of euros at December 31, 2017), an entity that, as defined in (Note 4.3) meets the definition of a related party.
Also, Enagás, S.A. guarantees the hedging transactions arranged by Enagás Financiaciones, S.A.U. and Enagás Internacional, S.L.U., the fair value of which amounted to 61,299 thousands of euros at 31 December 2018 (41,946 thousands of euros at 31 December 2017).
• "Trade debtors and other current accounts receivable" mainly includes accounts receivable from the different Group companies to which the Company provides holding services. (Note 2.2).
• The net carrying amount of the tangible fixed assets at December 31, 2018, is as follows:


• Interest income from financial assets is recognized using the effective interest method and dividend income is recognized when the shareholder's right to receive payment is established. Interest and dividends from financial assets accrued after the date of acquisition are in any case recognized as income in the Income Statement.
The breakdown of revenue by activity is the following:

The additions to "IT applications" in 2018 refer mainly to the following projects:
At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had recorded fully amortised intangible assets that remained in use, based on the following detail:


• At each year end, or when there are indications of impairment, the Group analyses the recoverable amounts to determine the possibility of impairment. This recoverable amount is the greater of the market value minus the cost necessary for its sale and the value in use, understood as the current value of the estimated future cash flows. For the calculation of the recovery value of the tangible fixed assets, the value in
use is the criterion used by the Company in most cases.
During the twelve months of financial year 2018, there were no movements with respect to the provisions for impairment losses of assets held by the Company in addition to those mentioned in each note of these Financial Statements.
• Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
• At December 31, 2018 and 2017 the Company had no finance leases.
At year-end 2018 and 2017, the Company was committed to the following minimum lease payments, pursuant to ongoing contracts, with no consideration taken of the effects of shared service charges, future CPI increases or future adjustments of contractually agreed rents:
| Operating leases | Nominal value | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum fees to pay | 2018 | 2017 | |
| Less than a year | 2,866 | 2,321 | |
| Between one and five years | 9,827 | 7,647 | |
| More than five years | 3,515 | 5,735 | |
| Total | 16,208 | 15,703 |
The amount of operating lease payments recognized as an expense in 2018 was 3,139 miles thousands of euros (3,449 thousands of euros in 2017).
In its position as a tenant, the Company's most significant operating lease agreement at year-end 2018 and 2017 was the lease for the office building where the Company maintains its registered office located in Madrid. In 2018, certain lease contracts maturing in 2018 were renewed until 2022 for an annual amount of 932 thousands of euros. In relation to contingent rents, the contract is referenced to annual increases based on CPI.

legal relationship whereby a portion of risk has been externalized as a result of which the Company is not liable, in which case, reimbursement will be taken into consideration in estimating the amount of any provisions. The policy followed with respect to the recognition of provisions for risks and expenses is to recognize the estimated amount required to settle probable or certain liabilities arising from litigation underway, pending indemnities or liabilities, sureties and similar guarantees. They are recognized upon emergence of the liability or obligation determining the indemnity or payment.
• At year-end 2018, there were various ongoing legal proceedings and claims against the Company that originated in the normal course of its activities. Both the legal advisors of the Company and its Directors judge that the conclusion of these procedures and claims will not have a significant effect on the Financial Statements of the financial years in which they are finalized that have not been recorded or indicated in these Financial Statements.
The movements under the heading "Non-current provisions" during 2018 and 2017, are as follows:
| Non-current provisions | Opening balance |

The heading "Personnel remuneration" included the cash portion of the Long-Term Incentive Plan to be settled (Note 4.4) as well as the three-year bonus plan for contribution to results aimed at the remaining personnel of the Company, which will be paid in 2019.

In January 2018, a provision was applied in the "Other liabilities" caption amounting to 534 thousands of euros corresponding to obligations derived mainly from claims and litigation.
The Directors of the Company consider that the provisions recognized in the accompanying Balance Sheet for litigation and arbitration risk as well as other risks described in this note are adequate and, in this respect, they do not expect any additional liabilities to arise other than those already recorded. Given the nature of the risks covered by these provisions, it is not possible to determine a reasonably reliable schedule of payment dates, if any.
At December 31, 2018, there are no significant contingencies that need to be disclosed in the Company's Financial Statements.
• The credit rating agency Standard & Poor's maintained the long-term "A-" rating it issued for Enagás, S.A. with a negative outlook at December 31, 2018. In contrast, another credit rating agency, Fitch Ratings, continued to issue an "A-" rating at December 31, 2018 with a stable outlook.

In 2018, there were no acquisitions of treasury shares.

At December 31, 2018, the Company had credit lines granted up to a limit of 1,705,337 thousands of euros, partially arranged in the amount of 199,965 thousands of euros (in 2017 there were credit lines granted up to a limit of 1,696,826 thousands of euros, partially provided in the amount of 190,435 thousands of euros) (Note 3.6).
In the opinion of the Directors, this situation allows for sufficient funding to meet possible liquidity requirements in the short term considering its current obligations.
The average rate of net debt in euros (considering debt with credit institutions and group companies) in 2018 was 2.3% (2.1% in 2017).
The Directors of the Company estimate that the fair value of the bank debts contracted at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 does not differ significantly from their carrying amounts.
The following are among the most significant events of financial year 2018:
The change in 2018 in the "Bank Borrowings" caption is mainly due to the assignment of the contractual position of the ICO and BEI loans by Enagás, S.A. to Enagás Financiaciones, S.A.U. explained in the previous note.
In relation to debentures and other marketable securities, although at December 31, 2017, Enagás, S.A. had no balances under these items, under this heading, the Company records the Euro Commercial Paper (ECP) programme, in a maximum amount of 1,000,000 thousands of euros, registered on the Irish Stock Exchange in 2011 and renewed on May 12, 2016. Banco Santander, S.A. is the arranger (coordinator of the operation) of the programme, an entity that together with 9 other banks, acts as a designated dealer (broker). In 2017 issues were made for a nominal value of 88,921 thousands of euros and maturities for a nominal value of 89,686 thousands of euros. At year-end 2017, this programme was not renewed at Enagás, S.A.
On May 10, 2018, Enagás Financiaciones S.A.U. registered the Euro Commercial Paper (ECP) programme on the Irish Stock Exchange in a maximum amount of 1,000,000 thousands of euros, with the company Enagás, S.A. as guarantor, as disclosed in Note 1.6.a.

It should be noted that expenses for interest on loans were calculated by using the effective interest method.
Likewise, the financial income includes the financial update of the loan for the three-year recovery of the guarantees provided by the Company for GSP and the investment itself and the account payable to Enagás Internacional, SLU, the net effect being an expense amounting to 1,518 thousands of euros. The breakdown of this effect is as follows:
• The financial update of the loan for the execution of the guarantees provided and the update of the investment involved a total expense of 3,296 thousands of euros (16,451 thousands of euros in 2017).
• The financial update of the account payable Enagás Internacional, S.L.U. for the assignment of the accounts receivable with GSP involved an expense in the amount of 1,778 thousands of euros (8,200 thousands of euros in 2017).
During financial years 2018 and 2017, there were no financial asset impairments.
• The Company uses cash flow hedges so that changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recorded, in the part in which these hedges are effective and net of their tax effect, under "Net Equity - Adjustments for changes in value - hedging operations".
The accumulated gain or loss under this heading is transferred to the Income Statement in the same period in which the item being hedged affects the result when settled. The results corresponding for the ineffective part of the hedges are recorded directly in profit and loss as financial income.
• Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires, or when it is sold, terminated or exercised, or when it no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. Any cumulative gain or loss relating to the hedging instrument recognized under equity at that time remains in equity until the forecast hedged transaction takes place. If a hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognized in equity is transferred to net profit or loss for the year.
the use of relevant observable variables, the most appropriate reference rates quoted on the market depending on each case were used (quoted credit spread indices). For counterparties with available credit information, the credit spreads used are obtained from the CDS (Credit Default Swaps) quoted on the market.
• To adjust the fair value to the credit risk enhancements relating to guarantees or collateral have also been used when determining the severity rate to be applied to each of the positions. A single severity rate is taken into consideration over time. If there are no credit enhancements relating to guarantees or collateral the minimum recovery rate has been set at 40%.

During financial year 2018, no new hedging transactions were contracted.
On February 9, 2018 and November 7, 2018, the Company signed a contract to novate its contractual position whereby Enagás Financiaciones, S.A.U. took over its position vis-à-vis Santander, BBVA and Societe Generale in relation to the cash flow hedging transactions arranged to hedge the risks of the ICO and EIB loans, which were transferred on the same date as indicated above in this Note 3.
Based on the above, at the close of financial year 2018, the Company holds no cash flow hedges. However, the detail of the cash flows based on the financial year in which they are generated, at December 31, 2017, was as follows:
| Contracted amount | Currency | Maturity | Total | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 and later years |

The Company Enagás, S.A. is exposed to certain risks which it manages with a risk control and management model, established at group level, which is directed towards guaranteeing achievement of the Company's objectives in a predictable manner with a medium-low risk profile.
This model can adapt itself to the complexity of the Company's corporate activity in a competitive global environment and a complex economic context in which risk can materialize more quickly and the danger of contagion is evident.
The model is based on the following:
Comprehensive analysis of all risks allows for their appropriate control and management, by understanding how the risks are interrelated and facilitating an assessment of the risk as a whole. Enagás has established a regulatory framework through its "Risk control and management policy" and "General risk control and management standards," which define the basic principles to be applied and identify the responsibilities of the different departments of the Company.
The control and risk management function is articulated around three lines of defence, each presenting different responsibilities:
The governing bodies responsible for risk control and management are the following:
• Risk Committee: the main functions include establishment of global risk strategies, establishing the global risk limits, revising the level of risk exposure, and acting to correct any instances of non-compliance.
The main risks of a financial and tax nature to which the Company is exposed are as follows:
Credit risk relates to the possible losses arising from the nonpayment of monetary or quantifiable obligations of a counterparty to which the Company has granted net credit which is pending settlement or collection.
The credit risk associated with receivables from its business activity is historically very limited since the Company operates mainly with Group companies (Note 3.2.c).
The Company is also exposed to the risk of its counterparties not complying with obligations in connection with financial derivatives and placement of surplus cash balances. In order to mitigate this risk, cash placements or contracting of derivatives are carried out in a diversified manner with highly solvent entities.
Interest rate fluctuations affect the fair value of those assets and liabilities that accrue interest at fixed rates and the future cash flows from assets and liabilities that accrue interest at floating rates.
The objective of interest rate risk management is to create a balanced debt structure that minimizes finance costs over a multiyear period while also reducing volatility in the Income Statement.
Based on the Enagás, S.A. estimates and debt structure targets, hedges are put in place using derivatives that reduce these risks (Note 3.4).
Changes in exchange rates may affect credit positions denominated in foreign currency. The Company manages exchange rate risk through natural hedges, which consist of contracting financial instruments in the same currency in which the investment is made (Note 4.1) and appointing natural hedges or net investments abroad.
Liquidity risk arises as a consequence of differences in the amounts or payment and collection dates relating to the different assets and liabilities of the Company.
The liquidity policy followed by the Company oriented towards ensuring that all short-term payment commitments acquired are fully met without having to secure funds under burdensome terms. For this purpose, different management measures are taken such as maintenance of credit facilities ensuring flexibility, sufficient amounts and sufficient maturities, diversified sourcing for financing needs via access to different markets and geographical areas, as well as the diversification of maturities in debt issued.
The Company is exposed to possible modifications in tax regulatory frameworks and uncertainty relating to different possible interpretations of prevailing tax legislation, potentially leading to negative effects on results.
Given the dynamic nature of the business and its risks, and despite having a risk management and control system that responds to the best international recommendations and practices, it is not possible to guarantee that some risk is not identified in the risk inventory of the Company.

|---|---|---|
| Percentage of financial debt tracking protected rates |
57% | 66% |
Taking into account these percentages of net financial debt at fixed rates, and after performing a sensitivity analysis using a range of +0.25/-0.10% percentage points changes in market interest rates, the Company considers that, according to its estimates, the impact on results of such variations on finance costs relating to variable rate debt could change as follows:
| Interest rate change | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2018 | 2017 | ||||
| 25 bps -10 bps |
25 bps | -10 bps | |||
| Change in finance costs | 4,635 | (1,854) | 2,441 | (976) |
In addition, the aforementioned changes would not produce any significant changes in the Company's equity position in connection with contracted derivatives.
The Company carries out capital management at corporate level and its objectives are to ensure financial stability and obtain sufficient financing for investments, optimizing the cost of capital in order to maximize the value created for the shareholder while maintaining its commitment to solvency.
The Company uses as an indicator for monitoring its financial position and managing capital, the level of consolidated leverage, which is defined as the quotient resulting from dividing net consolidated assets (understood to be the sum of net financial debt and consolidated equity) by net consolidated financial debt.
Financial net debt and leveraging of the Enagás Group at December 31, 2018 and 2017 was as follows (consolidated figures):
| 2018 | 2017 | |
|---|---|---|
| Debts with credit institutions | 1,363,035 | 1,582,119 |
| Debentures and other marketable securities |

| Cash and cash equivalents | (1,171,543) | (627,864) |
| Net financial debt | 4,274,653 | 5,007,703 |
(*)Includes the adjustment to record the yen bond of the Enagás Group at amortized cost as well as the adjustment made on the GNL Quintero bond to show its fair value at the date of the business combination (January 1, 2017). As of the date of said business combination, the GNL Quintero bond is recorded at amortized cost.
| 2018 | 2017 | |
|---|---|---|
| Net financial debt | 4,274,653 | 5,007,703 |
| Shareholders' equity | 2,658,758 | 2,585,639 |
| Financial leverage | 61.7% | 65.9% |
In this way, Enagás, S.A. has shown its financial robustness as confirmed by different rating agencies. The credit rating agency Standard & Poor's maintained the long-term "A-" rating it issued for the Company with a negative outlook at December 31, 2018. In contrast, another credit rating agency, Fitch Ratings, continued to issue an "A-", rating at December 31, 2018 with a stable outlook.
3.6 Cash flows
• Liquid financial assets, deposits and liquid financial investments that may be transformed into a determinable amount of cash within less than three months, and whose risk of changes in value is immaterial, are considered cash equivalents.

| 2018 | 2017 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Treasury | 457,160 | 53,129 | |
| Total | 457,160 | 53,129 |
Generally, the banked cash accrues interest at rates similar to daily market rates. The deposits maturing in the short term are easily convertible into cash, and accrue interest at the going market rates. There are no significant restrictions on the availability of cash and bank balances.
In order to guarantee liquidity, Enagás, S.A. has arranged loans and credit lines which it has not drawn down. Thus, liquidity available to the Company is broken down as follows:
| 2018 | 2017 | |
|---|---|---|
| Cash and cash equivalents | 457,160 | 53,129 |
| Other funds available | 1,505,372 | 1,506,391 |
| Total | 1,962,532 | 1,559,520 |
In the opinion of the Directors of the Company, this situation allows for sufficient funding to meet possible liquidity requirements in the short term considering its current obligations.
• The cost model is applied for measuring investment property, that is, the corresponding assets are measured at acquisition cost less the corresponding accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. However, since only a plot of land that currently has no specific use is included in this heading, it was valued at its recoverable value, calculated as fair value minus the costs necessary for its sale.
• The market valuation of the independent expert was performed in accordance with the Regulations of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), included in the socalled "Red Book" - Manual of Valuations (RICS Valuation -
Professional Standards, January 2014). Said market valuations defined by RICS are internationally recognized by advisors and accountants providing services for investors and corporations that own investment properties, as well as by The European Group of Valuers (TEGoVA) and The International Valuation Standards Committee (IVSC).

These amounts are measured by applying the tax rate to the corresponding temporary differences or tax credits at which they are expected to be realized or settled.
• Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, with the exception of those arising from initial
recognition of goodwill or from other assets and liabilities in a transaction that do not affect taxable profit or accounting profit and is not a business combination.

In conformity with current legislation, tax returns cannot be considered final until they have been inspected by the tax authorities or until the four-year inspection period has elapsed.
In March 2017, a tax inspection was initiated by the Spanish Tax Authorities for general verification of Enagás, S.A. The years and taxes subject to this process correspond to the corporate income tax for the years 2012 to 2015, VAT for the years 2013 to 2015, withholdings/payments on account with respect to tax on income from professional work, property taxes, and taxes levied on nonresidents for the years 2013 to 2015.
At 2018 year-end the verification and inspection processes were still ongoing. At any rate, the Company does not expect any liabilities in addition to those already entered under "Short-term provisions" on the Balance Sheet at December 31, 2018 which may significantly affect its equity statement as a consequence of said verification and inspection processes.
Likewise, at 2018 year end, the inspections for 2016 to 2018 are pending with respect to applicable taxes.

(1) These temporary differences include personnel expenses resulting from the Long-Term Incentive Plan, recorded in these financial years which, pursuant to Article 14 of the Corporate Tax Law, will be deductible at the time of their delivery or payment, so in 2018 they gave rise to a deferred tax asset.

This amortisation is deductible from financial year 2015 following the straight method over a period of 10 years or optionally during the useful life of the asset. To this end, the Company decided to apply the deferred tax asset using the straight line method over a period of 10 years.

(4) In addition, it includes the deduction to be applied from 2015 in accordance with the thirty-seventh transitory provision of Law 27/2014, by virtue of which those contributors for whom limited amortisation was applicable in 2013 and 2014 will have the right to a 5% deduction of the tax base with respect to the amounts included in the taxable income for the corresponding period.

• The Company estimates fair value of the equity instruments granted on an accrual basis over the corresponding plan period (from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2018) plus the loyalty period of approximately four months for full disbursement.
For the part of the plan settled in shares, the Company prepares the estimate of the fair value of the amount settled in cash during its period of validity
that they will be settled within less than one year, at which time the associated provision is reclassified to the Personnel line under "Trade and other payables" on the liability side of the accompanying Balance Sheet. The liability is subsequently measured at fair value at each Balance Sheet date, up to and including the settlement date, with changes in fair value recognized in the Income Statement.
The Company used the Monte-Carlo model to evaluate this program. The fair value of the equity instruments at the granting date is adjusted to include the market conditions relating to this plan. Likewise, the Company takes into account the fact that the dividends accrued during the plan period are not paid to the beneficiaries as they do not become shareholders of the Company until the plan has effectively been settled.
(from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2018) plus the period of approximately four months for full payment.
• At December 31, 2018, the estimate is made assuming that all the objectives relating to the plan have been 98.03% achieved, subject to the approval of delivering the shares assigned to said plan.

The Plan consists of an extraordinary, multi-year, mixed incentive, enabling its beneficiaries to receive, after a certain period, an incentive payable (i) in shares in Enagás, S.A. and (ii) in cash, provided that certain strategic objectives of the Enagás Group are fulfilled.
With respect to the portion payable in shares, the total number to be delivered will be 307,643 shares. The cash part of the plan is limited to an estimated maximum payment of approximately 2.5 million euros should all the objectives be fully met.
This pan is aimed at persons who, due to their level of responsibility on their position in the Enagás Group, contribute decisively to achieving the Company's objectives.

the loyalty period of approximately four months for full disbursement.
The breakdown and fair value of the shares at the grant date of the long-term incentive plan are as follows:
| ILP | |
|---|---|
| Total shares at the grant date | 307,643 |
| Fair value of the equity instruments at the granting date (EUR) |

| Expected volatility | 19% |
| Discount rate | 0.186% |

These Financial Statements are presented on the basis of the regulatory financial reporting framework applicable to the Company in Spain (see Note 1.2). Certain accounting practices applied by the Company that conform to that regulatory framework may not conform to other generally accepted accounting principles and rules.

The wording provided by Law 11/2018, of December 28, to article 262.5 of the consolidated text of the Capital Companies Act, relating to the management report, indicates that a company subsidiary on a group will be exempt from the obligation established in this section if the company and its subsidiaries, if any, are included in the consolidated management report of another company, prepared in accordance with the content established in this article.
Based on the above, Enagás, S.A. makes use of this exemption, including non-financial information in the consolidated management report of Enagás, S.A. and Subsidiaries Companies prepared in accordance with said regulations and which will be filed with Commercial Registry of Madrid.
Enagás, S.A., a midstream company with almost 50 years of experience and independent European TSO (Transmission System Operator) through Enagás GTS, is an international reference in the development and maintenance of gas infrastructure and in the operation and management of gas networks.
The company has built the main infrastructure for the Spanish Gas System, turning it into a model of security and diversification of supply.
Through our activities we strengthen and guarantee the security of energy supply, promoting the use of natural gas in preference to other more polluting alternative fuels such as oil or coal. In addition, natural gas is of great importance for improving competitiveness, as it allows for the introduction of efficient industrial technologies which improve the intensity of energy usage and competitiveness in the industry, generating direct and indirect employment.
The General Shareholders' Meeting is the highest body representing shareholders.
Enagás, S.A. has a free float of 95%, one of the highest on the Spanish continuous market. More than 70% of our share ownership is international, including the USA-Canada and the United Kingdom (27% and 12% respectively).
Enagás, S.A. applies a proprietary separation model, which establishes the maximum limit of ownership by any shareholder at 5%, with a limitation on the voting rights of 1% for agents in the gas sector and 3% for the rest of shareholders. These limitations do not apply to direct or indirect interest held by the public corporate sector.
Enagás, S.A. has a percentage of independence (54%) higher than the average of the Spanish market and has been reducing the number of members of the Board of Directors that now stands at 13 members.
In addition, Enagás, S.A.'s commitment to promoting gender diversity in the Board is reflected in the significant increase in the percentage of women, from 6% in 2007 to 23% in 2018, with a commitment to reach 30% by 2020 established in director selection policy.
Enagás, S.A., as head of the Enagás Group, will guarantee the proper functioning of the Spanish Gas System, and will ensure security of supply by facilitating competition in a transparent and non-discriminatory manner. Likewise, it will optimize the operation of the Spanish Gas System by coordinating the different agents and proposing measures to improve its operation. It will continue to develop the transmission network and manage its infrastructures in a safe, efficient, profitable way with a commitment to protecting the environment. All this will be achieved in collaboration with the regulators, thus providing service quality to its customers, creating value for its shareholders and contributing to the sustainable development of the Company.
Natural gas is a key element to achieve a sustainable, safe and efficient energy in a low carbon economy. It is the most efficient technical-economic solution compared to other conventional fuels, with the lowest cost for citizens and companies. Natural gas helps to make the industry more competitive and reduces the environmental impact. It is an essential energy source for many sectors because of its versatility and high calorific value.
In 2018, Enagás operated against a backdrop of relatively stagnant energy demand, where consumption of electricity, natural gas and petroleum products was similar to the previous year. However, broken down by sector, conventional demand for natural gas in Spain grew by more than 4% in 2018 compared to the previous year. This increase is a consequence of the good performance shown by industrial demand and the positive evolution in domestic/commercial demand that ended the year with a growth greater than 6%. Demand for natural gas for electricity generation has decreased due to increased hydropower generation compared to 2017, which was a particularly dry year. With these statistics, total demand for natural gas in Spain in 2018 has reached values similar to those registered the previous year, in which consumption grew by 9%.
Economic dimension
Enagás, S.A. has a Sustainability and Good Governance Policy which reflects the importance of good governance for the generation of value by the company. In 2016, a Long-Term Incentive Plan for 2016-2018 was approved, based on various objectives aligned with the Enagás, S.A. Strategic

Plan and with the expectations expressed by institutional investors and proxy advisors.
The net profit amounted to 371.2 million euros, 6.23% over 2017. In 2018, investments worth 7.5 million euros were made.
The dividend per share in 2018 increased by 5% over the previous year, reaching 1.53 euros per share. Enagás, S.A. concluded the year 2018 at 23.61 euros per share. The share capital of Enagás, S.A. at December 31, 2018 was 358.1 million euros, with 238.7 million shares.
In 2018 the rating agencies Standard & Poor's and Fitch Ratings in its annual review report has reaffirmed Enagás S.A.'s long-term "A-" rating.

The global security approach of Enagás, S.A. is based on the integration of the safety and health culture into the environment, people, facilities and information, through the involvement of leaders and the development of a model of health and security behaviours.
The Enagás Occupational Risk Prevention Management System, certified according to OHSAS 18001 (100% of activities), has procedures and standards for the identification and evaluation of risks, as well as for the notification of accidents.
In addition, Enagás, S.A. is certified as a Healthy Company.
Enagás, S.A. has a framework of policies, procedures and regulations that consists of: the Code of Ethics, corporate policies and guidelines, and the management and regulatory procedures necessary to ensure due diligence in related matters.
The Enagás, S.A. Ethics Channel is a platform for consulting doubts and notifying irregularities or breaches of the Code of Ethics and is managed by the company's Ethics Compliance Committee. In 2018, five communications were received via the Ethics Channel:
The Enagás, S.A. Compliance Model is the main tool for ensuring ethics and integrity in the performance of the company's activities. This Model is being coordinated around the Compliance Policy and its associated standard. Furthermore, under the Compliance Model, Enagás, S.A. has a Crime Prevention Model that is the essential core of the company's criminal compliance.
The objective of Enagás, S.A. social investment, is to contribute to the socio-economic development of local communities, giving priority to those areas in which the company operates, through sustainable social action models. Through dialogue and collaboration with stakeholders, the positive social impact of the company's initiatives, whether in the form of volunteering, sponsorship, patronage or donation (1.7 million euros in 2018).
Management of the supply chain is one of our key material issues. Adequate management of the supply chain allows us to identify and manage regulatory, operational, and reputational risks, as well as taking advantage of opportunities for collaboration and the creation of shared value.
In order to work with Enagás, the suppliers must go through a rigorous approval process. They must meet the following approval requirements:

The Company's average payment period for its suppliers is 41 days.
Activities for protection of the environment and biodiversity, energy efficiency, reduction in emissions, and the responsible consumption of resources are essential elements in the Enagás, S.A. environmental management to mitigate the impact of its activities.
Enagás, S.A. undertakes its environmental commitments (as reflected in the Health & Safety, Environment and Quality Policy) through the Environmental Management System and 100% of its activity is certified in accordance with ISO 14001.
Enagás, S.A. increases its commitment to fighting against climate change every year through its management and continuous improvement model, based on public commitment, emission reduction measures and the reporting of our performance and results, as well as the extending of our commitment to our supply chain.
Enagá,s S.A. is also committed to the use of gas as the least polluting fossil fuel and, therefore, key to the power generation mix for meeting emission reduction targets and allowing the development of more efficient renewable energies; as well as replacing other fossil fuels as we move towards more sustainable mobility in sea, rail and road transport.
The Company sets itself improvement challenges by establishing objectives for reducing annual emissions in the medium term, as well as via the definition of an emissions compensation strategy. In order to achieve said objectives, the Company implemented an Energy Efficiency and Emissions Reduction Plan some years ago, through which different energy saving measures are identified, developed, and quantified.
In 2018 it has adopted the reporting recommendations prepared by the Task Force on Climate related Financial Disclosures (TFCD) and has continued with the voluntary offsetting programme for greenhouse gas emissions.
Enagás, S.A. has adapted to the new circumstances arising out of the crisis, reducing its external financing through banks and resorting to other types of financing, such as bond issues, which has permitted the Company to achieve a more diversified structure. Net debt in 2018 decreased by 878,190 thousands of euros with respect to 2017.
The Company Enagás, S.A. is exposed to various risks intrinsic to the sector, markets in which it operates and the activities it performs, which, should they materialise, could prevent it from achieving its objectives and executing its strategies successfully.
The Company Enagás, S.A. has established a risk management and control model aimed at ensuring the continuity of the business and the achievement of the objectives of the company in a predictable manner and with a medium-low profile for all of its risks. This model can adapt itself to the complexity of the Company's corporate activity in a competitive global environment and a complex
economic context in which risk can materialize more quickly and the danger of contagion is evident.
This model is based on the following features:
Comprehensive analysis of all risks allows for their appropriate control and management, by understanding how the risks are interrelated and facilitating an assessment of the risk as a whole. This is accomplished by taking into account the differences of each type of risk in terms of its nature, handling capacity, risk measurement tools, etc.
The main risks associated with the business activities of Enagás, S.A. are classified as follows:
These are risks which are inherent to the gas sector and are linked to potential losses of value or results derived from external factors, strategic uncertainties, economic cycles, changes to the environment, changes to patterns of demand, competition and market structure or changes to the regulatory framework, as well as those derived from taking the incorrect decisions in relation to business plans and company strategies.
The activities carried out by the Company are notably affected by current regulations (local, regional, national and supranational). Any change in the legislation could negatively affect profits and the value of the company. Within this type of risk, regulatory risk is of special relevance, and is associated with the remuneration framework and, therefore, the regulated income from business activities.
Similarly, the new developments of infrastructures are subject to obtaining licences, permits and authorisation from governments, as well as legislation of various types, notably environmental regulations. These long-term and complex processes may give rise to delays or modifications to the designs initially projected due to: i) obtaining authorisation, ii) the processes relating to environmental impact studies, iii) public opposition in the affected communities, and iv) changes in the political environment. All of these risks may increase costs or delay projected income.
The growth in demand may also bring negative effects that will have a different impact in the short-, medium- and long-term. Growth may also depend on meteorological conditions or the competitiveness of natural gas compared to other energy sources, performance of the economy, etc.
In the short term, the variation in the demand for the transmission, regasification and underground storage of

natural gas in Spain has a direct impact on a component of the regulated remuneration received by these activities. The degree to which regasification plants are used may have a negative impact on the forecasted operating costs, through greater internal consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
In the medium-to-long term, the increase in the demand is a factor that creates opportunities for building new projects in transport, regasification and underground storage infrastructure for natural gas and its development may alter or delay decisions taken in dealing with these projects.
The results of the Company may also be affected by the legal risk arising from the uncertainties related with the different interpretation of contracts, laws or regulations which the company and third parties may have, as well as the results of any law suits undertaken.
The Company Enagás, S.A. has implemented measures to control and manage its strategic and business risk within acceptable risk levels, consisting in the continuous supervision of risks in connection with regulatory changes, market conditions, competition, business plans, strategic decision-making, etc. as well as management measures to contain risk at acceptable levels.
Operation of the Enagás, S.A. infrastructures may give rise to losses of value or earnings resulting from inadequate processes, failures of physical equipment and computer systems, human error or other external factors. This type of risk can in turn be classified as an industrial infrastructure risk (related to the nature of the fluids under management), risks associated with infrastructure maintenance, logistical and commercial processes, as well as other risks associated with corporate processes.
The main operational and technological risks to which Company is exposed are:
The Company Enagás, S.A. identifies the activities relating to management and control which can provide an adequate and appropriate response to these risks. Amongst the control activities thus defined there are emergency plans, maintenance plans, control and alerting systems, training and skill upgrading for staff, application of certain internal policies and procedures, defining quality indicators, establishing limits, and quality certifications and audits, prevention and environment, etc. which allow the Group to minimise the probability of these risks occurring. To mitigate the negative economic impact that the materialisation of any of these risks may have on Enagás S.A., a series of insurance policies have been arranged.
Some of these risks could affect the reliability of the financial information prepared and reported by Enagás, S.A. An Internal Control over Financial Reporting (ICFR) system was implemented to control these types of risk, the details of which can be consulted in the Corporate Governance Report.
Credit and counterparty risk relate to the possible losses arising from the non-compliance of monetary or quantifiable obligations of a counterparty to which the Company has granted net credit which is pending settlement or collection.
The counterparty risk includes the potential breach of obligations acquired by a counterparty in commercial agreements that are generally established in the long-term.
Enagás, S.A. monitors in detail this type of risk for its commercial activity, which is particularly relevant in the current economic context among the activities. The activities carried out include analysing the risk level and monitoring the credit quality of counterparties, regulatory proposals to compensate Enagás, S.A. for any possible failure to comply with payment obligations on the part of marketers (an activity that takes place in a regulated environment), request for guarantees, etc.
However, regulations have been developed establishing standards for managing guarantees in the Spanish gas system and which oblige gas supply companies to provide guarantees for: (i) contracting capacity in infrastructure with regulated third-party access and international connections, and international connections, (ii) settlement of imbalances; and (iii) participation in the organized gas market.
The measures for managing credit risk involving financial assets include the placement of cash at highly-solvent entities, based on the credit ratings provided by the agencies with the highest international prestige. Interest rate and exchange rate derivatives are contracted with financial entities with the same credit profile..
The regulated nature of Enagás, S.A. business activity does not allow an active customer concentration risk management policy to be established.
Information concerning counterparty risk management is disclosed in Note 3.5 to the Financial Statements.
Enagás, S.A. is subject to the risks deriving from the volatility of interest and exchange rates, as well as movements in other financial variables that could affect the Company's liquidity.
Interest rate fluctuations affect the fair value of assets and liabilities that accrue interest at fixed rates, and the future cash flows from assets and liabilities that accrue interest at floating rates. The objective of interest rate risk management is to create a balanced debt structure that minimizes finance costs over a multi-year period while also reducing volatility in the Income Statement. The Company maintains a fixed or protected debt structure of more than 70% to limit this risk. Changes in exchange rates may affect debt positions denominated in foreign currency. The Enagás, S.A.'s exchange rate risk management is designed to balance the cash flows of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency in each of its subsidiaries.
Enagás, S.A. maintains a liquidity policy that is consistent in terms of contracting credit facilities that are unconditionally available and temporary financial investments in an amount sufficient to cover the projected needs over a given period of time.
With respect to tax risk, the Company is exposed to possible modifications in tax regulatory frameworks and

uncertainty relating to different possible interpretations of prevailing tax legislation, potentially leading to negative effects on results.
The financial risk management policy is described in Note 3.5 of the Financial Statements.
Reputational risk refers to any action, event or circumstance that could have a harmful effect on the Company's reputation among its stakeholders.
Enagás, S.A. has implemented a self-assessment reputational risk procedure which uses qualitative measurement techniques. This process considers the potential reputational impact of any of the risks listed in the current inventory as a result of strictly reputational events arising from the action or opinion of a third party.
The Company is exposed to compliance risks, which includes the cost associated with potential penalties for breach of laws and legislation, or penalties resulting from the materialisation of operational events, the use of improper business practices or the breach of internal company policies and procedures.
Also, the Company may be affected by risks associated with the improper use of assessment models and/or risk measurement, and hypotheses that are outdated or do not have the necessary precisions to be able to correctly evaluate their results.
The amendments made to Article 31 of the Criminal Code in 2010 and 2015 establish criminal liability on the part of legal entities. In this context, Enagás, S.A., could be held liable in Spain for certain crimes committed by its directors, executives and employees in the course of their work and in the interest of the Company.
To prevent this risk from materialising, Enagás, S.A. has approved a Crime Prevention Model and has implemented the measures needed to prevent corporate crime and to avoid liability for the Company.
Given the dynamic nature of the business and its risks, and despite having a risk management and control system that responds to the best international recommendations and practices, it is not possible to guarantee that some risk is not identified in the risk inventory of the Company.
Subsequent to the close of the financial year, on 22 February 2019, the Board of Directors, following a report from the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, resolved to propose a Long-Term Incentive Plan, for the period 2019-2021, for approval at the General Shareholders' Meeting, scheduled for 29 March 2019. The proposed Plan consists of an extraordinary, multi-annual and mixed incentive, payable in cash and shares of Enagás S.A., linked to the achievement of a series of objectives considered strategic, aligning the interests of the Plan's beneficiaries with the achievement of long-term shareholder value. The Plan may not exceed the delivery of a total of 501,946 shares for all beneficiaries at Group level.
In the event that the Incentive Plan is finally approved by the General Shareholders' Meeting, its basic characteristics will be developed in its corresponding regulations, which must also be approved by the Board of Directors.
No events have occurred that significantly affect the results of Enagás, S.A. or its equity statement.
In the field of technological innovation developed by Enagás S.A. during 2018, the main actions have been to improve various aspects of its present activity and to analyse and deepen the knowledge of other possible technologies that may be in the future supported and put into value the infrastructures and/or the know-how of the Company.
Among the first highlighted is efficiency in a broad sense; gas measurement and analysis of its components; operational safety; the materials and equipment necessary for their activity. The latter include the production, analysis, certification and transport of synthetic natural gas, biogas, biomethane and hydrogen.
To this end, at the end of 2017, a new Transformation Department was introduced in the company's organisation, covering the company's internal innovation activities, the development of new energies, and other new initiatives.
A description of each of the following performance is provided below:
This section includes two distinct sections: energy efficiency and technical efficiency.
During 2018 Enagás , S.A. has continued its efforts, on the one hand, to reduce the energy consumption of its facilities and, on the other hand, to raise the level of energy it produces for self-consumption or export.
The consumption reduction in its facilities is mainly focused on the optimization of its processes, to minimize the energy needs of these processes, and in the modification or replacement of their equipment, to improve their unit performance.
The production of energy is based on the use of the residual energies of its processes to, in turn, produce electrical energy. The residual energy used is the heat that is lost through the exhaust gases of the gas turbines, the cold that is wasted during the vaporization process of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) and the pressure that dissipates in the points regulated by needs of the gas transportation system or for the delivery of gas to other carriers or distributors. Currently, Enagás has facilities for each of these three types. During 2018, projects have been started up or developed, such as the following: Measuring fugitive methane emissions, Barcelona Desalination Plant, Cathodic Protection Training Camp, Odour Neutralisation Pilot, Water with Methanol in USF, 3D Laser Scanner Pilot for the detection of corrosion and mechanical defects in piping or Electrical Phases Monitoring for the detection of mechanical failures in cryogenic pumps.
As a result of the experience acquired in previous years, during 2018, the possible technical and economic convenience of self-producing certain inputs necessary for

Management Report at December 31, 2018
the operation of the facilities was continued. In this sense, the most noteworthy production is that of expanding the autonomous generation of nitrogen at the Huelva plant or a introducing a chlorine dioxide reactor at the Barcelona Plant.
Enagás, S.A. continues to equip itself with the best available techniques to reduce the level of uncertainty in the measurement of the energy contained in natural gas, both in the liquid state (LNG) and in the gaseous state (NG), at the points at which it is received or delivered to third parties. This innovative effort has been translated into different studies and actions during 2018, among which we highlight the following: RAMAN technology for the determination of LNG quality and its properties during loading and unloading from ship to plant, in liquid state and GASPROP II Project for the development of a computer tool for the calculation of natural gas properties.
Throughout 2018, the Company continued with the research line on pipeline safety and other Enagás, S.A. facilities. The work has focused on improving the mathematical models used. To this end, participation in different international joint projects has been maintained, which has also confirmed that the level of security of the Enagás, S.A. facilities is adequate and is in line with that of other foreign companies with similar characteristics.
It has also continued to update the tools developed to meet the needs of different areas of the Company both in the design of new facilities and in the operation of existing ones. Work began on the creation of a unique and more complete simulation Hub for the creation of a collaborative environment, in the field of simulations, which includes the development of ad-hoc simulation tools to support decisionmaking,
All of the above has been carried out in accordance with the legislation in force in the matter.
During 2018, Enagás, S.A. has continued its activities to keep up to date a set of specifications and technical requirements, applicable to the materials and equipment with which it designs, builds and operates its facilities, which collects the state of the art at all times and ensures that the best alternatives are adopted in order to optimize the total cost (CAPEX + OPEX) of these facilities for the Company, without undermining security levels. For this purpose, the Company works actively with different national and international organizations and technological entities. Participation in normative organizations (ISO, AENOR, BEQUINOR) and in groups and associations of research and development (GERG, EPRG) stands out.
Enagás, S.A. is aware of the wide diversity of scenarios and solutions that the energy sector could develop in the future in a broad sense. As a consequence and independently of other actions that are carried out in various areas of the company to anticipate events and adapt to the profound changes that will arrive, the area of R&D remains in contact with technologies complementary and/or alternative to natural gas and which can also use part or all of the gas infrastructure in its hypothetical future development and
implementation. In this sense, the following are considered as more plausible technologies: mixtures of hydrogen with natural gas in certain percentages; pure hydrogen; biogas and biomethane. In addition, the possibility of the future development of CO2 capture, transmission and storage technologies is also contemplated. In this way, the experience and know-how of Enagás, S.A. would be fully applied, due to its similarity, in the deployment of the different infrastructures linked to this technology (pipeline transmission and underground storage of CO2).
Enagás is committed to developing non-electric renewable energies, such as green hydrogen and biogas/biomethane, as new key energy solutions for the decarbonisation process, and in order to bring about a circular economy.
Renewable gases play a key role in the decarbonisation process, and accordingly it is necessary to provide new alternatives that allow a sustainable mobility, with the options of synthetic natural gas and hydrogen of renewable origin.
These are some of the biogas, biomethane and hydrogen projects on which the company worked during 2018, proving its ability to anticipate and adapt:

addressing the feasibility of injecting hydrogen, in certain percentages, into gas networks.

During financial year 2018, there were no transactions involving treasury shares.
Furthermore, on May 25, 2016, Enagás, S.A. finalized the process for acquiring 307,643 treasury shares for an amount of 8,219 thousands of euros (including related expenses amounting to 8 thousands of euros) and representing 0.13% of the entire Company share capital. This acquisition took place within the framework of the Temporary Share Buy-Back Scheme, whose exclusive aim was to meet the obligations of delivering shares to the
Executive Directors and members of the Company management team under the current remuneration scheme according to the terms and conditions of the 2016–2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan and Remuneration Policy approved at the General Shareholders' Meeting on March 18, 2016. The shares were purchased in compliance with the conditions set out in Article 5 of Regulation EC/2273/2003 and subject to the terms authorised at the General Shareholders' Meeting held on March 18, 2016. Management of the Temporary Share Buy-Back Scheme was entrusted to Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (BBVA), which carried out the transaction on behalf of Enagás, S.A. independently and without exercising influence on the process.

On February 22, 2019, the Board of Directors of Enagás, S.A. authorised the Consolidated Financial Statements and Management Report for the year ended December 31, 2018, consisting of the accompanying documents, signed and sealed by the Secretary with the Company's stamp, for issue, in accordance with article 253 of the Spanish Corporate Enterprises Act and article 37 of the Code of Commerce, and remaining applicable standards.

| MR MARTÍ PARELLADA SABATA |
For having been a Director of the Company for a continuous period of more than 12 years. It is the practice of the Board of Directors of Enagás not to propose to the General Shareholders' Meeting the re election of those Independent Directors who, because they were directors for a continuous period of more than 12 years, would lose with a new re-election the category of Independent Members pursuant to article 529 duodecies 4 i) of the Consolidated Text of the Corporate Enterprises Act. Nevertheless, according to applicable laws, the Articles of Association and the Rules of the Organisation and Functioning of the Board of Directors of Enagás, S.A., there is nothing to stop an Independent Director from being re-elected even if he or she has been a Director continuously for over 12 years, if there are sufficient grounds to justify that course of action and the overall structure of the Board continues to fulfil the company's good governance policy whereby most of the members of the Board of Directors have to be Independent Directors. In such case and in accordance with Article 529 duodecies of the Consolidated Text of the Capital Companies Act and Article 9 of the Regulations |
ENAGÁS, S.A. | • Professor at the University of Barcelona. • Member of the Governing Council and Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Hospital Clínico de Barcelona. • Chairman of the Barcelona Institute of Economics Foundation. • Trustee of the Energy and Environmental Sustainability Foundation. |

for the Organization and Functioning of the Board of Directors of Enagás, the Director may not be classified as Independent and will become part of the Board of Directors. to the category of "other external directors" in accordance with article 3.2 b3 of the Regulations for the Organization and Functioning of the Board of Directors. In the specific case of the Director Mr Martí Parellada Sabata, the Board, with the favourable report of the Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate Social Responsibility Committee, appreciated the concurrence of reasons that justify, in the interest of the Company, its permanence in the Board. of Administration of Enagás. His occupation as a Professor of Applied Economy provides the Board of Directors with a view of the general background in which the company operates, thereby completing the general skills map of the Board of Directors in different areas of expertise, and from a perspective which for the time being is not covered by other Board members. His professional experience is coupled with his deep knowledge of the business and activities of the Company, to which he adds rigour in the exercise of the position of Director

If the answer is yes, describe these diversity policies, their objectives, the measures and the way in which they have been applied and their results in the financial year. The specific measures adopted by the board of directors and the appointments and remuneration committee to achieve a balanced and diverse mix of directors must also be indicated.
If the company does not apply a diversity policy, explain the reasons why it does not do so.
Description of the policies, objectives, measures and manner in which they have been applied, as well as the results obtained
The Policy for the Selection of Directors, approved by the Board of Directors on September 19, 2016, establishes that in the procedure for the selection of new Directors it should be ensured that the proposals for appointment or re‐election promote diversity in the Board, so they should be oriented to a preferential incorporation of women into Board and of persons who, because of their nationality or experience, have an international professional projection, in accordance with the strategy of the Society. The Director appointment or re‐election proposals should pursue the goal of having at least 30% of total Board places occupied by women directors by the year 2020.
In addition, the Regulations of the Organisation and Functioning of the Board of Directors of Enagás, S.A. establishes that the Board is responsible for evaluating the report submitted by the Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate Social Responsibility Committee, the quality and efficiency of the Board's operation, in addition to the diversity in its composition and competences.
In turn, in relation to the appointment of the Board, the rules established that the Board of Directors must ensure that the procedures for selecting its members promote diversity of gender, experience and knowledge, that do not suffer from implicit biases that entail any discrimination and, in particular, that facilitate the selection of female directors.
After the proposed appointments to the 2019 General Shareholders Meeting, most of the Board members are Independent Directors. Of its thirteen members, eight will have the status of Independent Directors and, with the presence of four women, Enagás has already reached the diversity target of at least 30% of the members of its Board of Directors being women by 2020 in 2019. Also, women Directors exercise important functions within the Board: Ms Ana Palacio Vallelersundi is Lead Independent Director and Chairwoman of the Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate Social Responsibility Committee, Ms Isabel Tocino Biscarolasaga is Chairwoman of the Audit and Compliance Committee and Ms Rosa Rodriguez Díaz is a Member of the Audit and Compliance Committee.

Finally, during 2018, the Internal Audit Department conducted a review of the application of diversity and non‐discrimination principles in the human management process, which confirmed that an appropriate internal control framework exists.
C.1.6 Explain the measures taken, if applicable, by the appointments committee to ensure that the selection processes are not subject to implicit bias that would make it difficult to select female directors, and whether the company makes a conscious effort to search for female candidates who have the required profile to guarantee an even balance between men and women.
In order to select Directors, the Appointments, Remuneration and CSR Committee adheres to the provisions of the Director Selection Policy, approved by the Board of Directors at the request of this Committee on September 19, 2016. In application of this policy, the selection of a new Director takes into account at least the following criteria: Suitable professional knowledge and experience. Appointments are limited to persons of recognised prestige and who possess knowledge and experience suited to the exercise of their functions.
Requirements derived from the Hydrocarbons Sector Law. Candidates must be able to satisfy the independence requirements demanded by Enagás' appointment as independent gas transmission network manager.
Requirements for Independent Directors. In addition to the previous criteria, which shall be applied to all Directors, regardless of their category, the persons selected in the category of Independent Directors must meet the requirements for independence under the provisions of the applicable law at all times, and the additional conditions for independence, as the case may be, stipulated in the company's internal regulations.
Commitment to fulfilling the duties and obligations of Directors. Proposals for re-election of current members of the Board of Directors shall take into account the commitment demonstrated by the Directors during the year in which they held office, in fulfilling the duty of diligence and the duty of loyalty, and all the regulations to which, in their condition of Directors and, where applicable, as shareholders or high-ranking member of the company, they are subject under the Internal Code of Conduct in Matters Relating to Securities Markets, the Enagás Group Code of Ethics, the Code of Conduct of the Technical Manager of the Spanish Gas System and other laws or procedures derived from their application. Likewise, it will be judged whether their actions in the exercising of their office has been in good faith and in the best company's interest.
The Board of Directors shall ensure that the nominations encourage diversity within the Board, whereby they must focus on preferably incorporating women and people who due to their nationality or experience have an international professional profile, in accordance with the company's new strategy. The Director appointment or re-election proposals should pursue the goal of having at least 30% of total Board places occupied by women directors by the year 2020.
Enagás Directors selection processes shall at all times take into account any other conditions, where applicable, determined by the company's Appointments, Remuneration and CSR Committee and the applicable laws. In addition, for the presentation of the proposed candidates, the Appointments, Remuneration and CSR Committee receives support from executive recruitment and development firms of recognised renown.
When, despite the measures taken, there are few or no female Directors, explain the reasons:
Enagás is aware that it must continue to encourage and facilitate the presence of women in the event of any vacancy arising on the Board, particularly for Independent Directors. In this regard, Enagás complies with article 8 of the Regulations of the Organisation and Functioning of the Board of Directors, which prescribes that selection procedures must be free of any implied bias against women candidates, and that the company shall seek out and include women with the target profile among the candidates for Board places.
At present, THREE (3) of the THIRTEEN (13) members of the Board of Directors of Enagás are women: MS ROSA RODRÍGUEZ DÍAZ, MS ANA PALACIO VALLELERSUNDI and MS ISABEL TOCINO BISCAROLASAGA. In addition,
MS ROSA RODRÍGUEZ DÍAZ is a member of the Audit and Compliance Committee, MS ISABEL TOCINO BISCAROLASAGA chairs the Audit and Compliance Committee and MS ANA PALACIO VALLELERSUNDI is Lead Independent Director and chairs the Appointments, Remuneration and CSR Committee.

C.1.7 Explain the appointments committee's conclusions on the checks carried out to ensure that the director selection policy is being complied with. Particularly whether the policy pursues the goal of having at least 30% of total board places occupied by women directors before the year 2020.
The report by the Appointments, Remuneration and CSR Committee of February 22, 2018, justifying the proposed re‐ election of a Director for the 2019 General Shareholders' Meeting includes the following:
"After the proposed appointments. most of the Board members are Independent Directors. Of its thirteen members, eight will have the status of Independent Directors and, with the presence of four women, Enagás has already reached the diversity target of at least 30% of the members of its Board of Directors being women by 2020 in 2019. Also, women Directors exercise important functions within the Board: Ms Ana Palacio Vallelersundi is Lead Independent Director and Chairwoman of the Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate Social Responsibility Committee, Ms Isabel Tocino Biscarolasaga is Chairwoman of the Audit and Compliance Committee and Ms Rosa Rodriguez Díaz is a Member of the Audit and Compliance Committee.
Separation of posts.
Since 2012, the company has separated the posts of Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, and since 2010, it has had a Lead Independent Director, the post held by Ms Ana Palacio Vallelersundi, providing an additional guarantee that the Board is functioning properly. The internal structure guarantees that all the functions promoting the control that must be exercised by the Board of Directors in relation to the executive and business functions that fall to the Chief Executive Officer (Internal Audit, Legal Counsel and Compliance) maintain the necessary independence, and are organically and functionally assigned to the Chairman of the Board of Directors and to
the Board itself through the Secretary to the Board.

The Board is subject to an annual evaluation process by an independent expert. The 2018 evaluation has been carried out by the firm SODALI.

(Continues in section H) OTHER INFORMATION OF INTEREST.- EXPLANATORY NOTE ON SECTION C.1.16).
C.1.17 Explain, if applicable, to what extent this annual evaluation has prompted significant changes in its internal organisation and the procedures applicable to its activities:
Description of amendments
The annual evaluation of the Board has consisted of a self‐evaluation through questionnaires and interviews. Board members were asked 23 questions and one open question with the aim of giving the director the opportunity to provide more direct and subjective feedback.

.
The areas analysed in the evaluation process were as follows: i) composition and structure of the Board and its Committees, ii) functioning and debate within the Board and its Committees, iii) leadership and performance, iv) personal contribution and alignment of the Board, iv) overall assessment and v) freedom of opinion.
The evaluation resulted in a number of strengths and possible areas for improvement. Among other issues, the directors considered the composition and structure of the Board and Committees very positively, taking into account the circumstances of Enagás and considering that the challenges they face tend to be extremely diverse. They stressed the level of debate and transparency, inviting members to express their opinion independently. They also noted that the increase in the number of committee meetings has provided more time for debate and open and effective communication between the Board (usually through the committee chairs) and Management. The time devoted to dealing with the main issues (regulatory, internationalisation, risk) is also positively valued.
The possibility of holding meetings by video conference to facilitate the participation of those councillors with greater logistical difficulties was seen as one of the possible areas for improvement. The functioning of the Committees is highly valued, although some opinions with a view to improving certain aspects are recognised. The Council's refreshment process is valued, adapting to Enagás' change of context, although some areas for strengthening are detected:
Every year, the company takes into account the result of the board's evaluation in order to improve its internal functioning, deliberation and decisionmaking.
Describe the evaluation process and the areas evaluated by the board of directors assisted, where applicable, by an external consultant, regarding the operation and membership of the board and its committees and any other area or aspect that has been subject to evaluation.
The Board evaluation process began via a resolution by the Appointments, Remuneration and CSR Committee appointing Morrow Sodali as an independent expert, based on its renowned solvency and prestige among international investors, particularly those with shareholdings in Enagás.
Morrow Sodali sent a questionnaire to each Director and conducted interviews with several key Directors. The Directors questioned gave their opinions on a series of questions related to the composition and structure, functioning and debate, leadership and performance, personal contribution and the alignment of the Board and its committees, in addition to questions on their overall valuation and their personal opinion
C.1.18 Explain, for those financial years in which the evaluation has been assisted by an external adviser, the business relationship that the adviser or any group company maintains with the company or any group company.
Enagás does not have any direct contractual relationship (nor has had it in recent years) with SODALI other than the independent evaluation of the Board. However, Enagás engages Santander Global Corporate Banking for a variety of services related to its General Shareholders' Meeting which, in turn, includes certain services that this firm contracts with SODALI regarding advisory on the relations with international investors and proxy advisers.
C.1.19 Indicate the cases in which directors must resign.
In accordance with the Good Governance recommendations, articles 12.2 and 12.4 of the Regulations of the Organisation and Functioning of the Board of Directors of Enagás stipulate that:
12.2.- Directors must place their offices at the Board of Directors' disposal, and tender their resignation, if the Board deems fit, in the following cases:
a) When they are affected by instances of incompatibility or prohibitions laid down in Law, the Articles of Association, and in these Regulations.
b) When they are in serious breach of their obligations as Directors.
c) When they may put the interests of the company at risk or damage its credibility and reputation. If a Director is indicted or tried for any of the crimes stated in article 213 of the Corporate Enterprises Act, the Board shall


examine the matter and, in view of the particular circumstances, decide whether or not the Director shall be called on to resign.
Should the Board of Directors not deem it advisable to have a Director tender their resignation in the cases specified under letters d), e) and f), the Director must be included in the category that, in accordance with these Regulations, is most appropriate based on their new circumstances.
When a Director gives up his place before his tenure expires, through resignation or otherwise, he shall state his reasons in a letter to be sent to all members of the Board of Directors. Irrespective of whether such resignation is filed as a significant event, the motive for the same must be explained in the Annual Corporate Governance Report. 12.4 - After a Director has been removed from their post, they may not work for a competitor company for a period of two years, unless the Board of Directors exempts them from this obligation or shortens its duration.

According to article 39 of the Articles of Association, the Board of Directors' meeting shall be validly constituted when one half of the membership plus one member are in attendance or represented at it. The Directors must

attend the meetings of the Board in person. Without prejudice to the foregoing, Directors may grant a proxy to another Director.

In addition, according to article 7.3 of the Board Regulations, Directors must attend the meetings of the Board in person.

The Board of Directors shall see to it that the Annual Accounts and the Management Report provide a true and fair view of the Company's equity, financial position and results of operations, in accordance with the law. The Board of Directors shall ensure that the accounts are presented in such a way that there are no grounds for qualifications by the company's Accounts Auditor, by taking into account all comments or recommendations that the
Audit and Compliance Committee may have made previously in its report. As a committee delegated by the Board, the Audit and Compliance Committee is assigned certain competences that are effective mechanisms to prevent the annual accounts compiled by the Auditor from being presented with qualifications in the audit report, according to Article 7 of the regulations:
a) Overseeing the preparation and presentation of financial information on the company and the Group, and checking compliance with regulatory requirements, the due definition of the scope of consolidation and correct application of accounting principles.
b) Examining the information on activities and results of the Company which is prepared and published periodically in accordance with the prevailing regulations relating to the securities market, seeking to ensure transparency and exactness in the information.
c) Reporting to the Board of Directors on recommendations or comments it deems necessary on the application of accounting criteria, internal control systems and any other relevant matter, and in particular, to present recommendations or proposals to the Board of Directors to safeguard the integrity of such financial information.
d) Informing the Board of Directors on the annual accounts prior to their preparation, as well as on financial information which the Company must periodically disclose publicly.
e) Ensuring that the Board of Directors endeavours to present the accounts in such a way that there are no grounds for limitations or qualifications by the company's Accounts Auditor.
f) Assessing any proposals made by senior managers regarding changes in accounting practices.
g) Establish an appropriate relationship with the External Auditors in order to receive information on those questions which may represent a threat to their independence. Specifically, any discrepancies relating to the audit process, as well as the possible safeguard measures to be adopted, discussing the significant weaknesses detected in internal control with the auditor of accounts, and never jeopardizing the independence of the audit.
h) Reviewing the content of audits, limited review reports of interim financial statements and other required reports of statutory auditors prior to their issue in order to prevent qualifications.
During the financial year, the Audit and Compliance Committee shall meet with the Auditor quarterly in order to obtain their conclusions regarding the quarterly revision prior to the publication of results. Likewise, interim condensed consolidated financial statements are subject to a limited revision by the Accounts Auditor with the issuance of the corresponding report.

The competences of the Audit and Compliance Committee are designed to minimise the impact of any accounting aspect that becomes evident throughout the financial year, and allows the members of the Board of Directors and the Audit and Compliance Committee to be kept up to date on the most relevant aspects of the audit throughout the year.

C.1.30 Indicate the specific mechanisms established by the company to safeguard the independence of the external auditors, as well as any mechanisms to safeguard the independence of financial analysts, investment banks and rating agencies, including how the legal provisions have been implemented in practice.
The Enagás Code of Ethics serves as a code of conduct for all employees in their professional activities and in relation to all the company's stakeholders. Enagás has the necessary procedures to ensure due diligence in the issues related to this area, as well as an Ethical Compliance Committee, which is a collegiate body to which the Audit and Control Committee delegates management of the notifications and consultations concerning this matter.
Compliance with the Code of Ethics is mandatory for all employees, managers and directors of Enagás, as well as its suppliers, contractors and collaborators or business partners in their spheres of the company. Affiliates have an ethics and compliance model that is appropriate for the environment they operate in.
The Enagás Audit and Compliance Committee, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 of the applicable regulation, shall safeguard the independence of the External Accounts Auditor:
a) Establish an appropriate relationship with the External Auditors in order to receive information on those questions which may represent a threat to their independence. Specifically, any discrepancies relating to the audit process, as well as the possible safeguard measures to be adopted, discussing the significant weaknesses detected in internal control with the auditor of accounts, and never jeopardizing the independence of the audit.
b) Receive those other communications provided for in audit legislation and audit standards. c) Proceed with the authorization of services other than those prohibited, in accordance with prevailing regulations.
d) Ensure that the Company and the external auditor adhere to current regulations on the provision of non-audit services, limits on the concentration of the auditor's business and other requirements concerning auditor independence.
e) Ensure that the fees of the External Auditor do not threaten their quality and independence, and are not based on any form of contingency.
f) In the event of resignation of the Accounts Auditor, the Committee should investigate the issues giving rise to the resignation.
g) Receiving the annual statement from the External Auditor on their independence with respect to the Enagás Group (included in the delivery of the supplementary report) or entities directly or indirectly related to it, in addition to detailed and individual information on additional services of any kind rendered to these entities by the External Auditor or by persons or entities related to it, in conformity with audit regulations.
h) Issuing an annual report, prior to the issue of the audit report, giving an opinion on whether the independence of the auditors is compromised. This report shall in all cases include a reasoned assessment of each additional service rendered contained in it that could comprise the independence of the Accounts Auditor, and it shall be published on the Corporate website sufficiently in advance of the date of the Ordinary General Shareholders' Meeting.
i) Establish a maximum term of the role of auditor, ensuring a gradual rotation with the main audit partners.
Likewise, the Internal Audit Code of Ethics includes the principles and rules of conduct relevant to the profession and practice of internal audit; they are mandatory for internal auditors and for those professionals performing internal audit, consulting and/or services, consulting and/or advisory services (outsourcing) to the Internal Audit function, through the annual signing of a declaration confirming that they have read, understand and comply with the Code.
During 2018, the Audit and Compliance Committee approved the Hiring and Relationship Procedure with the external auditor. Its purpose is to regulate the process of appointment, renewal and termination of the auditor and the process

of approval of the services provided by the external auditor by the Committee, in accordance with the applicable regulations.
In addition, during 2018 the Committee reviewed and approved all the services provided by the external auditor, to check that they complied with the requirements established in the Regulations of the Audit and Compliance Committee and the Accounts Auditing Law 22/2015. In relation to the mechanisms set out to safeguard the independence of financial analysts, investment banks and rating agencies. Communication and Contact Policy with Shareholders, Institutional Investors and Proxy Advisers, approved by the Board in 2015, sets out the framework of action for the company's relationship with shareholders, analysts, investors and proxy advisers, with the application of the principles of good governance and corporate values, such as transparent reporting, continuity, accessibility and immediacy, the fostering of shareholder trust, protection of their rights and encouraging their participation, equal treatment and non-discrimination, and compliance with the laws in force, etc.
In line with Enagás' Corporate Governance System, the Board of Directors has put in place systems allowing for regular information exchange with shareholders on topics such as investment strategy, assessment of performance figures, the composition of the Board of Directors and management efficiency. Under no circumstances can this information create situations of privilege or attribute special advantages with regard to the other shareholders. In addition, within the scope of its activities the Finance Department provides investment banks with the information they need.
To this end, Enagás has an Investor Relations Area, to permanently deal with enquiries or suggestions from analysts and institutional investors, professionals or qualified persons, rating agencies, bondholders, as well as those from socially responsible investors (SRI), by providing a telephone number and email address for this purpose. Shareholders, investors and analysts can avail themselves of full and updated information via the following channels: the Investor Relations Department and the Shareholder Information Office.
As stipulated in article 5 of the Regulations of the Organisation and Functioning of the Board of Directors of Enagás, the Board shall adopt and execute all acts and measures required to ensure transparency of the company with regard to the financial markets, uphold the proper formation of prices for the company's and its subsidiaries' shares, and perform all functions attending the company's status as a listed company pursuant to current laws and regulations.
Finally, article 7 of the Regulations of the Audit and Compliance Committee of Enagás, establishes that this Committee is responsible for assessing compliance with the Internal Code of Conduct in matters relating to securities markets, the company's governance regulations in general, and making the proposals necessary for their improvement. In fulfilling this duty, the Audit and Compliance Committee liaises with the Appointments, Remuneration and CSR Committee in considering company Directors' and managers' compliance with the Code.
It also assists with drafting the Annual Corporate Governance Report, especially in areas concerning transparency of information and conflicts of interests.

A call must be issued when so requested by a majority of the Directors, as set forth in article 39 of the Articles of Association. Directors who represent at least one third of the members of the Board of Directors may call the meeting, stating its agenda, to be held in the locality where the registered office is located, if they have requested the Chairman to convene the meeting, and the meeting has not been called within one month without reasonable cause.
Except in cases of where the Board has been constituted or has been convened exceptionally on account of urgent circumstances, the Directors must have the requisite information at their disposal sufficiently in advance to be able to deliberate and adopt resolutions on the business to be transacted. To this end, the Agenda of the meetings shall clearly indicate those points on which the Board of Directors must take a decision or resolution. The Chairman of the Board of Directors, in collaboration with the Secretary, must ensure that this obligation to provide information is fulfilled.
In those cases in which, exceptionally, for reasons of urgency, the Chairman wishes to submit to the approval of the Board decisions or resolutions not appearing in the Agenda, this shall require the express prior consent of the majority of the Directors present at the meeting, which will be duly recorded in the minutes.
Ordinary meetings of the Board shall transact general business relating to the Group's performance, earnings, balance sheet, investments, the company's cash position and how it compares to the adopted budget, the business referred to in article 5, if applicable, and the business listed on the agenda, to be drawn up pursuant to these Board Regulations. At these regular meetings the Board shall receive timely information on the movements of the shareholders and of the opinion that significant shareholders, investors and rating agencies hold regarding the company and its Group. Similarly, the Board of Directors shall receive timely information on the main operational achievements and

difficulties and any foreseeable circumstances which may prove critical for the company's affairs, and shall consider the course of action proposed by company management in response.
2.- Notices convening ordinary sessions shall be issued by the Chairman or the Secretary, or by the Deputy Chairman on order of the Chairman, may be effected by any channel, and shall specify the meeting venue and agenda. The Chairman shall call the Board to meet when so requested by the Independent Leading Director in accordance with article 18 of these Board Regulations. The notice of meeting, which other than in exceptional circumstances shall be issued at least three days in advance of the intended date of the meeting, shall contain all information and documents thought appropriate or relevant for Directors to be properly informed. Directors shall further be furnished with the minutes of the previous meeting, whether or not such minutes have been adopted. The power to set the agenda of a meeting rests with the Chairman, but any Director may request in advance of the calling of such meeting that there be added to the agenda any items which in his/her view ought to be addressed by the Board. The Board shall be properly constituted without need of prior notice if, all Directors being present in person or by proxy, the Directors unanimously consent to the holding of the meeting.
3.- Board Meetings shall ordinarily be held at the registered office, but may also be held at any other venue determined by the Chairman of the Board and specified in the notice of meeting.
Pursuant to Good Corporate Governance recommendations, article 12 of the Board Regulations, establishes that Directors must place their offices at the Board's disposal, and tender their resignation, if the Board deems fit, when, inter alia, they may put the interests of the company at risk or damage its credibility and reputation. If a Director is indicted or tried for any of the crimes stated in article 213 of the Corporate Enterprises Act, the Board shall examine the matter and, in view of the particular circumstances, decide whether or not the Director shall be called on to resign.
When a Director gives up his place before his tenure expires, through resignation or otherwise, he shall state his reasons in a letter to be sent to all members of the Board of Directors. Irrespective of whether such resignation is filed as a significant event, the motive for the same must be explained in the Annual Corporate Governance Report.

E.1. Describe the scope of the Company's Risk Control and Management system, including fiscal:
The Enagás Group has established a risk management and control model aimed at ensuring the continuity of the business and the achievement of the objectives of the company in a predictable manner and with a medium-low profile for all of its risks.
This model allows you to adapt to the complexity of your business activity in a competitive environment globalised, in a complex economic context, where the materialization of risks is faster and with a contagious effect evident. The model is based on the following aspects:
The establishment of a risk appetite framework that is consistent with the stated business targets and the market context within which the company carries out its activities (see details in section E.4);
The consideration of standard risk typologies to which the company is exposed (see details in section E.3); - The existence of Governance Bodies with responsibilities for overseeing the company's level of risk (see section E.2);
The segregation and independence of risk control and management functions articulated by the Company in three lines of "defence": transparency of the information provided to third parties, guaranteeing their reliability and rigour.
The risk control and management function is articulated around three lines of defence, with differentiated roles and responsibilities.
These lines are the following:
First line of defence: made up from the organisational units which assume the risks in the ordinary course of their activities. They own and are responsible for identifying the risks.
Second line of defence: the Sustainability and Risk Department, in charge mainly of ensuring that the risk control and management system works correctly, defining the regulatory framework and approach, and performing periodic monitoring and overall control of the company's risks.

-Third line of defence: consists of the Internal Auditing Department in charge of monitoring the efficiency of the established risk controls.
The integral analysis of all risk allows the appropriate control and management thereof, an understanding of the relationships between them and facilitates their joint assessment. This is accomplished by taking into account the differences of each type of risk in terms of its nature, handling capacity, risk measurement tools, etc. Enagás has established a regulatory framework for risk through the "Risk Control and Management Policy" and the "General Regulations for Risk Control and Management" setting out the basic principles governing the risk function and identifying the roles of the various decision-making bodies and the constituent parts of the risk management system. According to the nature of the events and the triggers, monitored risks are classified as: strategic and business risks, operational and technological risks, credit and counterparty risks, financial and fiscal risks, criminal liability risks, reputational risks and compliance and model risks.
The main bodies responsible for the Risk Management System and their main functions are: Board of Directors
The Enagás Group Board of Directors is responsible for approving the risk control and management policy. Other responsibilities with respect to risks are delegated in the Audit and Compliance Committee.
Audit and Compliance Committee
The mission of the Audit and Compliance Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in all matters related to the company's risks.
Its functions related to risk control and management are:
Oversee the effectiveness of risk control and management systems in order to mitigate risks adequately, in the framework of the Company's internal policy. Submit recommendations or proposals to the Board of Directors to improve these systems along with the corresponding deadline with dealing with them.
Assess the company's risks and examine the analyses of risks, the types of which are set out in the internal risk policies, that affect the business. This periodic information is prepared in accordance with internal rules, including the identification, measurement and establishment of management measures for the key risks affecting the company. - Disclose to the Board of Directors any risks uncovered, with an assessment thereof, and any key issues concerning risks.
The Enagás Group's Risk Committee is an executive governance body that assists the Steering Committee on all matters related to the company's risks. It coordinates the set of strategic and operational activities to maximise the profitability of the business with certain degrees of uncertainty. Part of the duties of this committee are:
at all levels and areas of Enagás' business through a common risk culture aligned with the company's objectives. - Approve risk-measurement approaches, ensuring consistent metrics in order to consolidate the overall risk level.
Approve the company's overall risk limits and/or thresholds, and, where appropriate, those of the business units and/or corporate departments. - Ensure that risk remains within acceptable levels and aligned with the company's strategy and objectives.- To regularly review the level of exposure to risk: i) analyse overall risk exposure and exposure of the various businesses and departments, and verify, by risk typology, that the level of risk exposure is below the level of acceptable risk; ii) review the corrective actions proposed by the business units and/or corporate departments to address potential breaches of the established limits.
Report to and advise the Management Committee on matters related to the company's risks.
Risks Department
The corporate Risk Department is in charge of the overall management of all regulations related to risk, supervising that risk management is applied correctly, disclosed, monitored and improved continuously so that it is aligned with the business needs at all times.
Part of their duties are:
Ensure that the risk control and management systems are functioning correctly. Define the framework of rules and methodologies for the identification, measurement and management of the main risks affecting the company.
Participate actively in the preparation of risk strategies and in key decisions about their management. Analyse, from a risk perspective, the main risks and participate in the decisions that affect them.
Ensure that the risk control and management actions proposed by the business units are mitigating risks effectively in the framework of the policy and strategy drawn up.
Propose to the Risk Committee the company's risk appetite and tolerance, and the structure of the related limits.
Monitor and control all the company's risks, validating the measurements made by the business units and/or departments.
Advise the company's departments in risk assessment.
Propose a global and consistent view of the company's risk through an internal information and control system.
Disclose the Group's risks and report on the key matters relating to risks to the Senior Management and
Governing Bodies.
Business and corporate units
These are the various business and corporate units that assume risk in the ordinary course of their activities.

Part of their duties are: -Identify risks in their activity on a regular and systematic basis through the year. -Assess and measure risks following the established identification and assessment methodologies. -Define risk-management and risk-mitigation and impact control actions in accordance with the defined strategy and the nature of the risks. -Pass down risk limits and thresholds to lower levels. E.3. Indicate the main risks, including fiscal risks and, to the extent that they are significant, those derived from corruption (the latter being interpreted under the scope of Royal Decree Law 18/2017), which may affect the achievement of business objectives: The main risks affecting the Enagás Group in the development of its business can be classified as follows: Strategic and Business Risks These are risks which are inherent to the gas sector and are linked to potential losses of value or results derived from external factors, strategic uncertainties, economic cycles, changes to the environment, changes to patterns of demand, competition and market structure or changes to the regulatory framework, as well as those derived from taking the incorrect decisions in relation to business plans and company strategies. The Enagás Group's activities are mainly exposed to the following risks: - Changes in the regulatory framework. - Evolution of demand, with short, medium and long-term effects, associated with weather conditions, the competitiveness of natural gas with other energy sources, evolution of the economy, etc. - Permits and administrative approvals. - Delays and cost overruns in the execution of infrastructure projects. - Impairment of fixed assets associated with projects. - etc. Operational and Technological Risks During the operation of the infrastructures of the Enagás group, losses of value or deterioration of results can occur due to the inadequacy, failures of physical equipment and computer systems, errors of human resources or derived from certain external factors. The main operational and technological risks to which the Enagás Group is exposed are: - Industrial risks (conditioned by the nature of the fluid being handled), those related to incidents during the operation of transmission infrastructures, regasification plants and underground storage facilities, which may involve large-scale damage. - Internal and/or external fraud. - Cybersecurity (economic fraud, espionage, activism and terrorism). Financial and Fiscal Risks The Enagás Group is subject to the risks deriving from the volatility of interest and exchange rates, as well as movements in other financial variables that could negatively affect the company's liquidity. Interest rate fluctuations affect the fair value of assets and liabilities that accrue interest at fixed rates, and the future cash flows from assets and liabilities that accrue interest at floating rates. Exchange rate fluctuations may affect positions held with regard to debt denominated in foreign currency, certain payments for services and the purchase of capital goods in foreign currency, income and expenses relating to companies whose functional currency is not the euro and the effect of converting the financial statements of those companies whose currency is not the euro during the consolidation process. This risk affects the Enagás Group, both owing to its international operations, fundamentally in Latin America, and intragroup loans in currencies other than the euro, mainly the US dollar. The Enagás Group maintains a liquidity policy that is consistent in terms of contracting credit facilities that are unconditionally available and temporary financial investments in an amount sufficient to cover the projected needs over a given period of time. As regards the execution of large projects, Enagás Group is exposed to uncertainties owing to the effective procurement of finance in conditions similar to those forecast in its business plans. On certain occasions this financial risk may be associated with other risks arising from the agreement terms that set out the conditions of service (which may even lead to the cancellation of the concession agreement). It is also exposed to potential changes in legal frameworks for taxation and uncertainty arising from the possible different interpretations of prevailing tax laws, which could have a negative impact on results. Credit and Counterparty Risks Credit risk relates to the possible losses arising from the non-payment of monetary or quantifiable obligations of a counterparty to which the Enagás Group has granted net credit which is pending settlement or collection. The counterparty risk includes the potential breach of obligations acquired by a counterparty in commercial agreements that are generally established in the long-term. Reputational Risks Reputational risk refers to any action, event or circumstance that could have a harmful effect on the company's reputation among its stakeholders. Criminal Liability Risks The amendments made to the Criminal Code in 2010 and 2015 establish criminal liability on the part of legal entities. In this regard, Enagás could be held liable in Spain for certain crimes committed by its directors, officers
and staff in the interest of the company. To prevent this risk from materialising, Enagás has approved a Crime

Prevention Model and has implemented the measures needed to prevent corporate crime and the avoid liability for the company.
Likewise, as a result of the company's international activity, the Model has been broadened to cover the requirements of Mexican criminal law and US anti-corruption measures.
Compliance Risks and Model
The Enagás Group is exposed to compliance risks, which comprises the costs associated with possible sanctions owing to infringement of laws or sanctions derived from the materialisation of operational events, conducting of improper business practices, non-compliance with internal policies and procedures and/or the incorrect use of models.
The Enagás Group Risk Management and Control Model defines the risk appetite framework, which corresponds to the maximum level of risk the company is willing to take on in order to meet its objectives, and which is expressed by means of risk limits. The level of risk tolerance is the result of the deviation in the level of risk the company takes on at a specific moment in relation to the defined risk appetite.
The Enagás Group has defined a set of limits for the main types of risk that the company may present (strategic risks and business, operational, technological, financial and tax-related, credit and counterparty, and criminal liability risks), with the establishment of the maximum acceptable level of risk, which is updated yearly by the Risk Committee. These limits are specified by a set of indicators that are regularly monitored throughout the year.
The company had a medium-low risk profile over the course of 2018, similar to that of 2017, partly due to the existence of corporate risk control and management systems. This allowed certain risks to be eliminated from the company's inventory, without their having any negative impact.
In relation to the risks that materialized with a negative effect on the company in 2018, certain risks materialized, such as an incident in international infrastructure, caused by adverse weather conditions and/or geographical conditions in the location of the infrastructure. However, the negative impact associated with the incident was significantly reduced by insurance policy cover. Likewise, there was a negative impact limited by the impairment of fixed assets associated with projects paralysed in Spain.
A series of control activities defined by each of the business units and corporate departments are associated with the main risks identified by the company to ensure that it can respond adequately and in a timely manner. The Audit and Compliance Committee and the Risk Committee oversee the implementation of these control activities and monitor the action plans.
The type of controls in place vary considerably depending on the nature of the risk. For instance:
Regulatory risks, controls and mitigating actions include, inter alia, ongoing cooperation with (domestic and European) regulators and public administrations.
Regarding infrastructure operation (e.g. damage, incidents), risks are mitigated through the design of maintenance and continuous improvement plans, the definition and monitoring of quality indicators, and control systems and alerts, which ensure service continuity and quality, among others. Likewise, there is an insurance schedule in place for transferring these risks to a third party.
Regarding strategic and business risks related to international asset management, controls include monthly monitoring of planning for international assets and returns on investments, etc.
Credit and counterparty risks are mitigated via establishment of guarantee mechanisms, in accordance with specific regulatory requirements, such as continuous monitoring of the main counterparties' credit profiles. - To prevent criminal liability risk from materialising, the Enagás Group has approved a Crime Prevention Model (reviewed in 2016) and has implemented the measures needed to prevent corporate crime and to avoid liability for the company.

ꞏ The process exists and is documented:
Identifying risk is one of the core fundamentals in risk analysis with regards to the preparation of financial information. The process follows the COSO 2013 (Committee of Sponsoring Organisations of the Treadway Commission) framework. One of the objects is to help ensure that transactions are recorded faithfully in accordance with the related accounting framework so it can provide reasonable assurance regarding the prevention or detection of errors that could have a material impact on the information contained in the consolidated annual accounts.
The "Enagás Risk Control and Management Policy" provides a reference in the area of risk identification, as it states the company's policies on how to deal effectively with uncertainty, risks and the associated opportunities, thereby improving its capacity to generate value in order to achieve the aims of the Organisation, which include reliable financial reporting.
The principles and criteria included in the policy were issued by the Enagás Risk Committee. This Committee is charged with defining, approving and updating the basic criteria and principles guiding actions in relation to risk, as set out in "Functioning of the Enagás Risk Committee" procedure.
The principles set out in the "Enagás Risk Control and Management Policy" are articulated in the "General Regulations for Risk Control and Management", providing an organisational and methodological framework that ensures the risk control and management process is implemented appropriately and effectively.
Specific risks related to the company's Internal Control over Financial Reporting System are classified in this framework under the Group's operational risk category. The identification and measurement of these risks are performed as set out in the Internal Control over Financial Reporting System Manual.
ꞏ The process covers all financial reporting objectives, (existence and occurrence; completeness; valuation; presentation, disclosure and comparability; and rights and obligations), is updated and with what frequency:

Pursuant to the "Enagás Group ICFR Manual", the risk identification process covers all financial reporting objectives to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the same. The manual describes the risks related to the financial reporting process as follows:
Completeness: the risk that all transactions, and other circumstances and events are not recorded. Rights and obligations: the risk that all financial information at any given date does not reflect the rights and obligations through the corresponding assets and liabilities in accordance with applicable standards.
Existence and occurrence: the risk that not all transactions, circumstances and events exist and are not all recorded at the appropriate time.
Valuation: the risk that not all transactions, circumstances and events are recorded and valued in conformity with applicable standards.
Presentation, disclosure and comparability: the risk that not all transactions, circumstances and events are classified, presented and disclosed in the financial information in accordance with applicable standards. Internal fraud: includes the risk of manipulation of files, software and information, and the risk of unauthorised
activities (involving employees) leading to intentional financial statement misstatements and misappropriation of funds and assets due to inappropriate use of corporate assets.
Periodically, the ICFR Unit fully evaluates all control processes and corresponding specific risks mitigation measures in place, and at the same time, assesses whether new risks need to be added.
The Finance Department operates a management and updating process to identify those companies which should be included in the scope of consolidation. This process is detailed in the "Period-End Procedures for Consolidated Financial Statements and Annual Accounts".
In compliance with article 7 of the Regulations of the Audit and Compliance Committee, the Committee's duties and competencies include "Overseeing the preparation and presentation of financial information on the company and the Group, checking compliance with regulatory requirements, the due definition of the scope of consolidation and the correct application of accounting principles".
In determining the companies covered by the ICFR scope, the Group considers those in which it has direct or indirect control, and so for all other consolidated companies, the Group includes controls to ensure consistency, validity and reliability of the financial information provided for inclusion in the consolidated financial statements.
ꞏ The process addresses other types of risk (operational, technological, financial, legal, fiscal, reputational, environmental, etc.) insofar as they may affect the financial statements:
The process of identifying risks associated with achieving the financial reporting objectives takes into account the possible effects derived from the materialisation of other types of risks contained in the risk control and management model described in section e) of this document. These effects would arise, as the case may be, through strategic and business risks, operational and technological risks, fianancial and fiscal risks, credit and counterparty risks, criminal liability risks, reputational risks and compliance and model risks.
· Which of the company's governing body oversees the process:
The Audit and Compliance Committee is responsible for overseeing the preparation and presentation of financial information on the company, and to present recommendations or proposals to the Board of Directors to safeguard the integrity of such financial information. It also sees to the proper operation of the company's, and its Group´s, internal control, internal audit function, if applicable, and risk management systems, including risks related to the treatment of financial information, according to article 44 of the Consolidated Articles of Association and article 7 of the Regulations of the Audit and Compliance Committee of Enagás S.A. and Subsidiaries.

Indicate the existence of at least the following components, and specify their main characteristics:
F.3.1 Procedures for reviewing and authorising the financial information and description of ICFR to be disclosed to the markets, stating who is responsible in each case and documentation and flow charts of activities and controls (including those addressing the risk of fraud) for each type of transaction that may materially affect the financial statements, including procedures for the closing of accounts and for the separate review of critical judgements, estimates, valuations and projections.
Procedures for reviewing and authorising financial information to be disclosed to the markets
The Organisation has the following documents to ensure the reliability of the financial information to be disclosed to the securities markets:
• "Manual of Accounting Policies (PGC)" and the "Manual of Accounting Policies (IFRS)", which establish and provide clear information on the accounting policies required for performing accounting estimates and preparing the company's Financial Statements and individual and consolidated Annual Accounts, to ensure that these provide a true and fair view of its equity, financial position, results of operations, changes in net equity and changes in cash flows.
• "Period-end procedures for the Separate Financial Statements and Annual Accounts" and "Period-end procedures for the Consolidated Financial Statements and Annual Accounts" approved by the Chief Financial Officer establishing the process of preparing, processing, reviewing and authorising the financial information at the closing of accounts by the persons in charge. These also establish the controls of judgements, estimates and evaluations which may materially affect the financial statements.
• "Procedure on the provision of Regular Reports to Securities Market Regulators" which establishes the process to be followed when preparing periodic financial information to be disclosed to the regulated markets regarding interim financial reports, interim management reports and, if applicable, quarterly financial reports, and defines the persons responsible of approval of said financial information.
With regard to the preparation and subsequent disclosure of financial reporting, the Investor Relations Department, the Finance Department, the General Secretariat, the Board of Directors and the Chairman of the Board all play a key role at the various levels within the Organisation in the validation and approval of all financial information.
The Group's ICFR control structure is based on the five components of the COSO Model (The Committee of Sponsoring Organisations of the Treadway Commission) included in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework report (2013):
Likewise, the recommendations of the report on "Internal Control over Financial Reporting at Listed Companies" prepared by the CNMV's Internal Control Working Group (ICWG) (2010) are taken into consideration.
In this regard, the ICFR model states a number of key control objectives which, if fully implemented, allow reliability and transparency in preparing financial reporting. Implementation of these objectives is intrinsically tied to the effectiveness of "Control activities" at each stage of their execution.
In this context, the control structure defined is based on two classes of control:
The General Controls form the basis of the ICFR model. These are interlinked controls that directly affect the Enagás organisational structure and procedures. These are known as the "control environment" in the CNMV and COSO recommendations.
At the end of 2018, there were 44 ICFR general controls in operation. Senior Management is responsible for overseeing these controls, which are split between the following divisions: • Secretary to the Board of Directors

These controls are assessed once a year to incorporate any updates and to identify new control components.
Process controls
Process Controls (control activities) are controls over an organisation's operating processes that are more specific than general controls. These are part of each of the main cycles and sub-cycles comprising the ICFR procedures, guaranteeing the reliability and transparency of Enagás financial reporting. These are factors which mitigate the risks inherent in the financial reporting procedure mentioned above to ensure the established control objectives are met.
These control activities are used throughout all the ICFR model and the eight Areas which affect financial reporting: • Acquisitions
These Areas in turn affect a further 28 cycles and 61 subcycles and are formally documented in a corporate IT tool. These process controls can be classified with the following different characteristic attributes:
• According to their nature:
• Preventive: Preventing errors or any irregularities which may affect the information, i.e. preventing the impact of financial risks.
• Detective: Identifying errors or irregularities which may affect the financial information, i.e. identifying errors when they arise.
• Corrective: Correcting errors or irregularities which may affect the financial information, i.e. rectifying errors when they arise.
The quarterly self-assessment process carried out by the ICFR unit allows the Organisation to confirm the validity of the description of these controls by the people responsible, identifying any updates (new process controls, elimination, automation, etc.).
At year-end 2018, there were 216 ICFR process controls, approximately 19% of which were automated.
Operating activities
In addition to the controls we have mentioned above, when designing the ICFR subcycles a series of operating activities are defined to establish a flow chart showing how these impact financial reporting. Likewise, these activities are included in a corporate IT tool which establishes the models for the ICFR subcycles.
At year-end 2018, there were 769 operating activities, approximately 12% of which were automated.
F.3.2 Internal control policies and procedures for IT systems (including secure access, control of changes, system operation, continuity and segregation of duties) giving support to key company processes regarding the preparation and publication of financial information.
IT systems play an important role and are configured to support the preparation, processing and extraction of the financial information to be disclosed. This is why they are included in the ICFR actions and configuration.


All actions concerning information systems are regulated in the Cybersecurity Policy which defines the principles to effectively manage information security in the IT systems, as well as the assets involved in the processes.
Based on the principles of this policy, Enagás has designed the General Rules for Management of IT Systems establishing the responsibilities and the relationship between the requesting units and the IT Systems Department.
We also have General Computer Controls (GCCs). These provide a control framework designed to offer a reasonable level of security in IT systems used for financial reports, guaranteeing, to the greatest degree possible, that the information is confidential, available and complete. At December 31, 2016, there were 46 General Computer Controls covering five control areas:
Here we would note that within the Infrastructure Development and Maintenance area is the GCC relating to the Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Plan.
The objectives established within the framework of General Computer Controls help achieve control objectives related to the processing of computer-generated information, through the defining, development, implementation and reviewing of control activities such as user and authorisation management, administrator management, access control, incident management, change management, business continuity, information storage and recovery, operations monitoring, etc.
Integral to the objectives of control of IT systems is the need to establish an appropriate segregation of duties, which is a prerequisite for an ICFR system to function efficiently and effectively. It is therefore of vital importance that there is a clear distinction between who has to execute actions related to the treatment of financial information, and who has to review and/or approve them. For this reason, correctly allocating profiles, both in IT systems and in terms of positions and functions, is critical to the success of the process.
Enagás is particularly vigilant about any activities carried out by third parties which may significantly impact the financial statements to ensure maximum control over key procedures that may be outsourced, and that the activities are carried out to a standard that the Group demands.
The internal rules regulating this can be found in the Identification and Treatment Procedures for Service Organisations.
The Group also has the following regulations and internal procedures regulating the contracting process and ensuring quality control of third parties:
When the Organisation engages the services of independent experts for appraisal, calculation or valuation services, we request that they certify they are reputable firms in their field and are independent. This helps ensure that the Group's management is able to supervise and take the ultimate decisions on the estimate processes which may impact accounting records.
Indicate the existence of at least the following components, and specify their main characteristics:
F.4.1 A specific function in charge of defining and maintaining accounting policies (accounting policies area or department) and settling doubts or disputes over their interpretation, which is in regular communication with the team in charge of operations, and a manual of accounting policies regularly updated and communicated to all the company's operating units.

The Accounting and Accounting Policies Division, which reports to the Finance Department is responsible for keeping all accounting policies regularly updated and communicating these to all personnel involved in the financial reporting process.
It has therefore drawn up the "Accounting Policy Manual (PGC)" and the "Accounting Policy Manual (IFRS)", internal documents which outline all procedures and the accounting policies required for performing accounting estimates and preparing the Company's Financial Statements and Individual and Consolidated Annual Accounts, to ensure that these provide a true and fair view of its equity, financial position, results of operations, changes in net equity and changes in cash flows. Those employees involved in the process are informed of any updates to the policies via the Intranet.
The preparation, review and approval of all financial information in standard format is regulated by the "Periodend procedures for the Individual Financial Statements and Annual Accounts" and the "Period-end procedures for the Consolidated Financial Statements and Annual Accounts", as well as the "Accounting Policy Manual (PGC") and the "Accounting Policy Manual (IFRS"), which serve as guides to carrying out these tasks.
Furthermore there is a specific mechanism for the process of preparing the annual accounts and accompanying notes, where the Audit and Compliance Committee, as a Board Committee, takes on a special relevance, overseeing this process (e.g. monitoring the supervision work of the Internal Audit unit, being cognisant of the internal control systems as well monitoring the work performed by the external auditor) before the annual accounts are certified by the Board of Directors. The functions of the Audit and Compliance Committee in this regard are detailed in article 7 of the "Regulations of the Audit and Compliance Committee of Enagás, S.A. and Subsidiaries".
The Group has an IT tool to record and treat all financial information which satisfies the needs of both individual and consolidated reporting.
Indicate the existence of at least the following components, describing their main characteristics:
F.5.1 The ICFR monitoring activities undertaken by the audit committee and an internal audit function whose competencies include supporting the audit committee in its role of monitoring the internal control system, including ICFR. Describe the scope of the ICFR assessment conducted in the year and the procedure for the person in charge to communicate its findings. State also whether the company has an action plan specifying corrective measures for any flaws detected, and whether it has taken stock of their potential impact on its financial information.
In this context, one of Enagás' top priorities is to take a proactive, and thereby preventative role during a phase of constantly overseeing the model, to ensure that the model is updated and aligned with both the business and the best regulatory practices.
Constant analysis of and following up of ICFR, detecting possible flaws and making sure the corresponding improvements and adjustments are achieved by taking the following measures:
• A regular evaluation of the design and effectiveness of current anti-fraud programmes and controls. Its scope and frequency depends on the importance of the associated risk and the demonstrated effectiveness of the controls in place.
• The participation of the Internal Audit Department, through the supervision functions attributed by the ICFR model through the "General Internal Audit Regulations", the "Enagás Group ICFR Manual" and the "Regulations of the Audit and Compliance Committee of Enagás, S.A. and Subsidiaries".
• Effective supervision by the Audit and Compliance Committee, relative to overall control of the ICFR model, delegated by the Board of Directors, and instrumented by Internal Audit.
• Reporting on weaknesses found, taking corrective measures to solve them, establishing mechanisms to track them and assigning the necessary resources to achieve them, according to the instructions in the "Enagás Group ICFR Manual".

• Finally, once finalised, and subsequent to the implementation of the proposed measures, a design and final validation process will be undertaken, which will eventually be incorporated into the ICFR model.
Key throughout this oversight process if the function of Internal Audit which, as set out in the "General Internal Audit Regulations", is responsible for:
• Collaborating with the Audit and Compliance Committee in fulfilling its duties, particularly with regard to the supervision of the internal control system and the risk control and management process, to relations with the external auditor and supervision of the financial information preparation process.
Regarding relations with the external auditor, there is an Accounts Auditor Contracting and Relationship Procedure, which will be monitored for the maintenance of an objective, professional and continuous relationship with the auditor of the Company, respecting at all times its independence.
• Participating in the review of the Internal Control over Financial Reporting (ICFR) system established by the company for its subsequent certification
In order to ensure that these objectives are met, there is an "Internal Audit Annual Plan", which is overseen and approved by the Audit and Compliance Committee, and includes a review of the ICFR system. The Group's Management conducted an internal assessment of the ICFR system and concluded that the system in place for
Enagás, S.A. and Subsidiaries at December 31, 2018 is effective and contains no significant deficiencies.
F.5.2 If a discussion procedure is in place, whereby the auditor (pursuant to TAS), the internal audit function and other experts can report any significant internal control weaknesses encountered during their review of the annual accounts or other assignments, to the company's senior management and its audit committee or board of directors. State also whether the entity has an action plan to correct or mitigate the weaknesses found.
Article 7 of the Regulations of the Audit and Compliance Committee of Enagás, S.A. and subsidiaries details the objectives and functions of the Committee, including ensuring that the auditor, the Internal Audit function and other experts can inform Senior Management and the Board of Directors, of any significant internal control weaknesses encountered during their review of the annual accounts or other assignments. In this regard, these reports are made after each review task has been completed. State also whether the entity has an action plan to correct or mitigate the weaknesses found.
The Committee is also are in charge of supervising compliance with the Internal Code of Conduct in Matters Relating to Securities Markets. The reports on the activities of the Audit and Compliance Committee contain important information about communication procedures and the conclusions reached at the end of each year.
There is no other relevant information regarding ICFR at the Group to add to that which we have provided in the previous headings of this section F.
State whether:
F.7.1 The ICFR information supplied to the market has been reviewed by the external auditor, in which case the corresponding report should be attached. Otherwise, explain the reasons for the absence of this review.
The Group has voluntarily subjected its ICFR to review since 2008. All reviews have been carried out by the auditor of Enagás, S.A. and Subsidiaries.
The report for 2018 is attached.

Indicate the degree to which the recommendations of the Good Governance Code for listed companies are implemented.
In the case where a recommendation is not implemented or only partially implemented, a detailed explanation of the reasons for this is to be included so that shareholders, investors and the market in general have sufficient information in order to evaluate the company's course of action. General explanations are not acceptable.

Additional Provision 31 of Law 34/1998, of 7 October, on the Hydrocarbons Sector, in force since the enactment of Act 12/2011, of 27 May, governing civil liability for nuclear damage or damage caused by radioactive materials, specifies in section 2 that:
"No natural person or legal entity may hold, directly or indirectly, an interest in the parent company (ENAGÁS, S.A.) representing more than 5% of share capital or exercise more than 3% of its voting rights. Under no circumstances may such shareholdings be syndicated. Any party operating within the gas sector, including natural persons or legal persons that directly or indirectly own equity holdings in the former of more than 5%, may not exercise voting rights over 1%. These restrictions shall not apply to direct or indirect shareholdings held by public-sector enterprises. Under no circumstances may share capital be syndicated.
Likewise, the combined total of direct or indirect holdings owned by parties that operate within the natural gas sector may not exceed 40%.
For the purposes of calculating the stake in that shareholding structure, in addition to the shares or other securities held or acquired by entities belonging to its same group, as defined by article 4 of Act 24/1988, dated 28 July, on the Securities Market, stakes shall be attributed to one and the same individual or body corporate when they are owned by:
a) Those parties who act in their own name but on behalf of that individual or body corporate in a concerted fashion or forming a decision-making unit with them. Unless proven otherwise, the members of a governing body shall be presumed to act on account of or in concert with that governing body.
b) To partners with whom it exercises control over a dominant company in accordance with article 4 of Securities Market Act 24/1988, of July 28.
In any event, regard shall be had to the proprietary ownership of the shares and other securities and the voting rights attached to each.
Non-compliance with the limit on interests in the share capital referred to in this article shall be deemed a very serious breach in accordance with the terms set out in article 109 of this Law. Responsibility shall lie with the individuals or legal persons found to be the owners of the securities or whoever the excess interest in the share capital or in the voting rights can be attributed to, pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraphs. Whatever the case, the penalty system stipulated herein will apply.
Enagás, S.A. may not transfer the shares of the subsidiaries carrying out regulated activities to third parties". Meanwhile, section 3 of Additional Provision 31 of this law states that:
"The restrictions of shareholding percentages and non-transfer of the shares referred to in this provision are not applicable to other subsidiaries that ENAGÁS, S.A. may constitute for business activities other than transmission regulated by Article 66 of Act 34/ 1998, of 7 October, on the hydrocarbons sector, management of the transmission network and technical management of the national gas system".
Meanwhile, article 6 bis of the company's Articles of Association ("Limitations on holdings in share capital") establishes that:
"No individual or legal person may hold a direct or indirect stake of more than 5% in the equity capital of the company, nor exercise voting rights in such company of over 3%. Under no circumstances may such shareholdings be syndicated. Those parties that operate within the gas sector, including those natural persons or legal persons that directly or indirectly possess equity holdings in the former of more than 5%, may not exercise voting rights in the company of over 1%. These restrictions shall not apply to direct or indirect shareholdings held by public-sector enterprises. Under no circumstances may share capital be syndicated. Likewise, the combined total of direct or indirect holdings owned by parties that operate within the natural gas sector may not exceed 40%.
For the purposes of calculating the stake in that shareholding structure, the Hydrocarbons Industry Act shall apply.
Enagás may not transfer to third parties shares of the subsidiaries included in its Group that undertake transmission and technical systems management, which are regulated businesses under Hydrocarbons legislation."

This refers to Mr Bartolomé Lora Toro as the natural person representative of the director of the Sociedad Estatal de Participaciones Industriales (SEPI).
At the date of preparation of this report, the SOCIEDAD ESTATAL DE PARTICIPACIONES INDUSTRIALES (SEPI), in addition to having a seat on the Board, also had a significant holding (5%) in the share capital of Enagás, S.A.
SEPI cannot exercise control over Enagás, S.A. as it is not in any of the circumstances set out in Article 4 of the Spanish Securities Market Act 24/1988, of 28 July (LMV).
Accordingly, no individual or legal person exercises or could exercise control over Enagás, S.A in accordance with Article 4 of the LMV.
On May 25, 2016 Enagás S.A. finalised the process of acquiring 307,643 of its own shares, which accounts for 0.13% of the total shares in the Group, for a total cost of 8,219 thousands of euros (including associated costs of 8 thousands of euros). This acquisition took place within the framework of the Temporary Share Buy-Back Scheme, whose exclusive aim was to meet the obligations of delivering shares to the Executive Directors and members of the Enagás Group management team under the current remuneration scheme according to the terms and conditions of the 2016–2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan and Remuneration Policy approved at the General Meeting of Shareholders. The shares were purchased in compliance with the conditions set out in Article 5 of Regulation EC/2273/2003 and subject to the terms authorised at the General Shareholders' Meeting held on March 18, 2016. Management of the Temporary Share Buy-Back Scheme was entrusted to Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (BBVA), which carried out the transaction on behalf of Enagás, S.A. independently and without exercising influence on the process.
Further text of section 2 of the 31 additional provision of the Hydrocarbons Sector Law 34/1998, of 7 October (hereinafter, also called "LSH"):
(...) "For the purposes of calculating the stake in that shareholding structure, in addition to the shares or other securities held or acquired by entities belonging to its same group, as defined by article 4 of Act 24/1988, of July 28, on the Securities Market, stakes shall be attributed to one and the same individual or body corporate when they are owned by:
a) Those parties who act in their own name but on behalf of that individual or body corporate in a concerted fashion or forming a decision-making unit with them. Unless proven otherwise, the members of a governing body shall be presumed to act on account of or in concert with that governing body.
b) To partners with whom it exercises control over a dominant company in accordance with article 4 of the LMV".
In any event, regard shall be had to the proprietary ownership of the shares and other securities and the voting rights attached to each.
Non-compliance with the limit on interests in the share capital referred to in this article shall be deemed a very serious breach in accordance with the terms set out in article 109 of this Law. Responsibility shall lie with the individuals or legal persons found to be the owners of the securities or whoever the excess interest in the share capital or in the voting rights can be attributed to, pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraphs. Whatever the case, the penalty system stipulated herein will apply.
Enagás, S.A. may not transfer the shares of the subsidiaries carrying out regulated activities to third parties."
Meanwhile, section 3 of Additional Provision 31 of this law states that:
"The restrictions of shareholding percentages and non-transfer of the shares referred to in this provision are not applicable to other subsidiaries that ENAGÁS, S.A. may constitute for business activities other than transmission, regulated by Article 66 of Law 34/ 1998, of 7 October, on the Hydrocarbons Sector, management of the transmission network and technical management of the national gas system".
Restrictions under the company's Articles of Association:
In accordance with the aforementioned legal provision, article 6 bis of Enagás' Articles of Association ("Limitations on holdings in share capital") establishes that:
"No individual or legal person may hold a direct or indirect stake of more than 5% in the equity capital of the company, nor exercise voting rights in such company of over 3%. Under no circumstances may such shareholdings be syndicated. Those parties that operate within the gas sector, including those natural persons or legal persons that directly or indirectly possess equity holdings in the former of more than 5%, may not exercise voting rights in the company of over 1%. These restrictions shall not apply to direct or indirect shareholdings held by public-sector enterprises. Under no circumstances may share capital be syndicated.
Likewise, the combined total of direct or indirect holdings owned by parties that operate within the natural gas sector may not exceed 40%.
For the purposes of calculating the stake in that shareholding structure, the Hydrocarbons Industry Act shall apply.
Enagás may not transfer to third parties shares of the subsidiaries included in its Group that undertake transmission and technical management of the system, which are regulated businesses under Hydrocarbons legislation".

• At December 31, 2018 the Consolidated Balance Sheet presents a positive working capital of 1,034,823 thousands of euros (687,124 thousands of euros at December 31, 2017).

Enagás, S.A. (hereinafter the Company or the Parent Company), a company incorporated in Spain on July 13, 1972 in accordance with the Spanish Corporate Enterprises Act, is the head of a group of companies (Appendices I and II) that form the Enagás Group (hereinafter the Group or the Enagás Group) and which are engaged in the transmission, storage and regasification of natural gas, as well as the development of all functions related to the technical management of the gas system.
The Consolidated Annual Accounts of the Enagás Group for 2018 were prepared based on the accounting records of the Parent and remaining entities comprising the Group, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union, in conformity with Regulation (EC) 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and Council.
The Consolidated Annual Accounts have been prepared applying all mandatory accounting principles, standards, and measurement criteria in order to give a true and fair view of the equity and financial position of the Group at December 31, 2018, as well as of the results of its operations, changes in equity, cash flows, and changes in recognized income and expenses for the year then ended.
The Consolidated Annual Accounts of the Enagás Group for 2018 were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors at their meeting held on February 22, 2019. The 2017 Consolidated Annual Accounts were approved at the Enagás, S.A. General Shareholders' Meeting held on March 22, 2018 and duly filed at the Madrid Mercantile Registry. The Group's Consolidated Annual Accounts and those of each entity belonging to the Group, corresponding to the year 2018, are pending approval at their respective Ordinary General
The above activities can be carried out by Enagás, S.A. itself or through companies with an identical or analogous corporate purpose in which it holds interest, provided they remain within the scope and limitations established by legislation applicable to the hydrocarbons sector. In accordance with said legislation, the activities related to transmission and technical management of the system which are of a regulated nature must be carried out by two subsidiaries entirely owned by Enagás, S.A. (Enagás Transporte, S.A.U. and Enagás GTS, S.A.U., respectively). Consequently, the corporate purpose includes:
Its registered address is located at Paseo de los Olmos, 19, 28005, Madrid. At its website www.enagas.es and at its registered address its Articles of Association and other public information on the Company and its Group can be consulted.
Shareholders' Meeting. It is expected that they will be approved without modification.
These Consolidated Annual Accounts are presented in thousands of euros (unless otherwise stated).
The accompanying Consolidated Annual Accounts do not include the information or disclosures which the Group did not consider of material significance or important relative to the concept of materiality as defined in the conceptual framework of IFRS, taking into account the Consolidated Annual Accounts as a whole.
The information included in these consolidated notes relating to 2017 is presented solely and exclusively for purposes of comparison with the information relating to 2018.
On 1 January, the Enagás Group applied the new IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 15 Income from contracts with customers, without restating the comparative information referring to 2017 (Note 1.10).

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the financial statements of the Parent, Enagás, S.A. and its subsidiaries, associates, joint ventures, and joint operations at December 31, 2018.
Subsidiaries are considered to be those entities with respect to which the Enagás Group fulfils the following criteria:
Subsidiaries are consolidated using the full consolidation method.
The share of minority shareholders in the equity and profit of consolidated subsidiaries of the Enagás Group is recognized in "Minority interests (External partners)" under "Equity" in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and "Profit (loss) attributable to minority interests" in the Consolidated Income Statement, respectively. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition, that is, the date the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the Group no longer retains control over them.
The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as those of the Parent. With respect to the joint agreements, that is, those by virtue of which the Enagás Group maintains joint control with one or more other partners, a distinction is made between joint operations and joint ventures. Joint control is understood as control shared by virtue of a contractual agreement which requires unanimous consent from all involved parties for decision-making regarding relevant activities.
Thus, joint operations are considered to be those in which, based on a contractual arrangement, a company enjoys the rights to assets and assumes obligations with respect to liabilities. The interest held in joint operations is consolidated using the proportionate consolidation method.
In addition, joint ventures are considered to be those in which, based on a contractual arrangement, a company exercises rights with respect to the net assets of the joint venture. Shareholdings in joint ventures are consolidated using the equity method. In those cases in which the Enagás Group acquires control over companies previously considered as joint ventures, a new estimate is made for the fair value of the interest held previously in equity at the acquisition date, recognizing income or losses in the Consolidated Income Statement for the reporting period.
Further, associates are considered to be those entities over which the Enagás Group holds significant influence, that is, the power to intervene in decision making regarding financial policies and operational matters, without attaining full control or joint control. The interest held in associates is consolidated using the equity method.
If appropriate, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries, affiliates, joint ventures, and joint operations in order to unify their accounting policies with those of the Enagás Group.

iv. Elimination of dividends: Internal dividends are considered to be those a Group company recognizes as income for the year and that have been distributed by another Group company.
During the consolidation process, dividends received by subsidiaries and joint operations are eliminated by considering them to be reserves of the recipient company, which consequently recognizes them under "Reserves". In the case of minority interests in companies consolidated using the full consolidation method, the amount of the dividend corresponding to said minority interests is eliminated from the consolidated equity heading "Minority interests (External partners)."
v. Equity method: The investment is initially recognized at cost and subsequently adjusted by the share corresponding to the investor of the changes in net assets of the affiliate. In addition, dividends received are accounted for as a lower amount under "Investments accounted for using the equity method".

Also, when the associate or joint venture is acquired, any difference between the cost of the investment and the share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the associate or joint venture is accounted for as follows:
The consolidated profit for the year includes participation in the results of the affiliates under "Results of
In the Group's Consolidated Annual Accounts for 2018, estimates and judgements were occasionally made by the Senior Management of the Group and of the consolidated companies, subsequently ratified by the Directors, in order to quantify certain assets, liabilities, income, expenses, and commitments reported herein. These estimates and judgements basically relate to:
investments accounted for using the equity method" in the accompanying Consolidated Income Statement. If the participation in losses of an associate or joint venture equals or exceeds participation in said entities, the loss will no longer be recognized under additional losses. Once interest in an entity is reduced to zero, the additional losses will be maintained and a liability will only be recognized to the extent the corresponding entity incurred legal or implicit obligations or made a payment on behalf of an associate or joint venture. If the associate or joint venture subsequently reports profits, the entity will once again recognize its interest only after its participation in said profits equals its participation in unrecognized losses.
In addition, the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Recognized Income and Expenses includes the participation in the statement of the investee.
Although these estimates were made on the basis of the best information available at December 31, 2018, future events may require these estimates to be modified prospectively in the coming years (upwards or downwards). In accordance with IAS 8, this would be done prospectively, recognizing the effects of any change of estimate in the Consolidated Income Statement.

The following changes in the consolidation scope of the Enagás Group occurred during 2018:
| Amount of the investment (thousands) |
Stake percentage | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Entity | In euros | Previous | At 12.31.2018 | Description / Type of control |
| Hydrogen to Gas, S.L. | 135 | - | 60% | Consolidation in accordance with the full consolidation method as the Group keeps control of it. |
| Subgroup Senfluga Energy Infraestructure (1) | 40,485 | - | 20% | Based on shareholder agreements there is a situation of significant influence resulting in consolidation by the equity method. |
| Enagás Services Solutions, S.L. | 4,945 | - | 100% | Consolidation in accordance with the full consolidation method as the Group keeps control of it. |
| Axent Infraestructuras de Telecomunicaciones, S.A. | 1,625 | - | 49% | Based on shareholder agreements there is a situation of significant influence resulting in consolidation by the equity method. |
| Sercomgas Gas Solutions, S.L. | 147 | - | 84% | Consolidation in accordance with the full consolidation method as the Group keeps control of it. |
| Smart Energy Assets, S.L. | 394 | - | 87.5% | Consolidation in accordance with the full consolidation method with the Group keeping control of it. |
| Gas to Move Transport Solutions, S.L. | (2) | 82% | 59.4% | Sale of the 22.6% stake of Enagás Emprende, S.L.U. in the company. Given that, based on the shareholder agreements, increased majorities are required for taking relevant decisions, both financial and operational, this represents significant influence and consolidation is carried out using the equity method. |
| Vira Gas Imaging, S.L. | 70 | 49% | 94% | Enagás Emprende, S.L.U. acquired an additional 45% stake in the company. Based on shareholder agreements, the Group will continue to control the company, and will consolidate using the global integration method. |
| Swedegas Group | (71,573) | 50% | - | Excluded from the consolidation scope as the company has been sold. |
(1) Senfluga Energy Infraestructures holds a 13.2% stake in Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund, S.A.
On February 22, 2018, Hydrogen to Gas, S.L. was incorporated. This company, domiciled in Spain, is directly controlled by Enagás Emprende, S.L.U. through a 60% stake and is therefore fully consolidated.
Investment at the end of the 2018 financial year amounts to 135 thousands of euros.
In February 2018, Senfluga Energy Infraestructure ("Senfluga") was incorporated for 24 thousands of euros. Enagás Internacional, S.L.U. has a 20% stake in this company, domiciled in Greece, and has significant influence in it, and it is therefore consolidated using the equity method.
During the month of December 2018, and once the corresponding conditions precedent were met, Senfluga closed the purchase of 66% of the shares of DESFA, the operator of the high-pressure natural gas transmission network in Greece, with approximately 1,500 kilometres of gas pipelines, as well as the Revithoussa regasification plant.
The stake of the Enagás Group in Senfluga at the end of 2018 amounted to 40,485 thousands of euros.
On April 3, 2018, Enagás Services Solutions, S.L. was incorporated. This company, domiciled in Spain, is directly controlled by Enagás S.A. through a 100% stake and is therefore fully consolidated.
Investment in this company at the close of the 2018 financial year amounted to 4,945 thousands of euros.
On April 24, 2018 Axent Infraestructuras de Telecomunicaciones, S.A. was incorporated and is domiciled in Spain. Enagás Services Solutions, S.L.U. has a 49% stake in this company, and has significant influence in it, and it is therefore consolidated using the equity method.
The investment of Enagás Services Solutions, S.L.U. in this company, at the close of the 2018 financial year amounted to 1,625 thousands of euros.
On May 7, 2018, the company Sercomgas Gas Solutions, S.L., was established, with a registered office in Spain. This company is 84% owned by Enagás Emprende, SLU, which has direct control over the company, with its entire assets, liabilities and results and recognizing the 16% corresponding to the company's other partners, both in the "External Partners" heading of Net Equity, and "Result attributable to external partners" of the Income Statement.

The stake of Enagás Emprende, S.L.U. in this company, at the end of 2018, amounted to 147 thousands of euros.
On September 4, 2018, Smart Energy Assets, S.L. was incorporated for 394 thousands of euros. This company, domiciled in Spain, is directly controlled by Enagás Emprende, S.L.U. through an 87.5% stake. Thus, it is also fully consolidated together with recognition of the 12.5% stake corresponding to the headings "external partners" in the Consolidated Equity and "Profit attributable to external partners" in the Income Statement.
On November 6, 2018, Enagás Emprende, S.L.U. acquired an additional 45% stake in the company Vira Gas Imagine, S.L. (hereinafter, "Vira") for a total amount of 70 thousands of euros.
Given that Enagás Emprende, S.L.U. already had a previous stake of 49%, as a result of the aforementioned acquisition the stake increased up to 94%. Based on the current shareholders agreements, Enagás Emprende, S.L.U. acquired control over Vira, giving it the right to unilaterally adopt the relevant decisions of the company. This change in the consolidation method based on equity to the full consolidation method. No effects have been occurred in the Income Statement.
On November 21, 2018, after compliance with the corresponding conditions precedent set forth in the purchase agreement, the sale was completed of the entire stake that Enagás Internacional, S.L.U. held in the Swedegas Group and that accounted for 50% of its share capital.
The sale price of this transaction amounted to 100,468 thousands of euros (1,032,981 thousand Swedish krona). As a result of this transaction, the Group derecognized the investment initially recorded in the "Investments accounted for using the equity method" caption of the Consolidated Balance Sheet, as well as the cancellation of the adjustments for changes in value accumulated in the Net Equity at the date of the transaction for a negative amount of 1,787 thousands of euros. This amount is not material considering that the financial investment in SEK was associated with the debt in the same currency and was hedged by a net investment abroad (Note 3.6).
This operation has had a positive impact on the Consolidated Income Statement in the amount of 24,459 thousands of euros, recorded under "Financial income and similar" (Notes 1.6 and 3.5).

Appendix II to these Consolidated Annual Accounts provides disclosure on data relating to joint ventures, joint operations, and associates of the Enagás Group at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.
The recoverable amount of investments in associates or business combinations is evaluated for each associate or business combination, unless the associate or business combination does not generate cash flows for continuous use which are largely independent of the cash flows arising from other Group assets.
With respect to the impairment analysis for affiliates, the discount rate applied (cost of equity) in 2018 ranged from 5-9%, depending on the country (5-9% in 2017). The sensitivity analysis of the discount rate with a +/- 0.5% variation carried out at 2018 yearend showed that the Group is not exposed to significant risk arising from reasonably possible changes. Thus, Group management considers that, within the specified ranges, there would be no changes in the impairment calculation.

• A financial guarantee contract is a contract which requires that the issuer makes specific payments to repay the holder for losses incurred when a specific debtor does not fulfil payment obligations at maturity, in accordance with the original or modified conditions of a debt instrument. The rights and obligations associated with a financial guarantee will be considered as financial assets and financial liabilities. For subsequent valuation, a contract will be recognized as the greater amount of a) the amount resulting from standards relating to provisions (IAS 37) or b) accumulated amortization of the initial measurement and possible accrued income.

The "Guarantees on debt of related entities" heading includes the corporate guarantee granted by Enagás S.A. for financial institutions acquired in the Financing Agreement of November 30, 2018 in the company TAP, through which the following items are basically guaranteed:
The corporate guarantee has been granted by each TAP shareholder jointly, so that Enagás would only be held liable, in a hypothetical case, for the amount corresponding to its participation in the capital of TAP.
At December 31, 2018 the amount guaranteed by Enagás, S.A. to the creditors of TAP amounted to 452,589 thousands of euros.
This guarantee will be released subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions agreed with TAP's creditors, mainly related to the startup of the project.
• An investment commitment corresponds to that obligation contracted with a related party which can give rise to outflows of funds or other resources in the future. The following is included amongst these: commitments not recognized in connection with contributing funds or resources as a consequence of incorporation agreements, capital intensive projects carried out by a joint venture, commitments not recognized in connection with providing loans or other financial support to the joint venture, or commitments not recognized in connection with acquiring a stake, regardless of whether a specific future event occurs or not.
After the start-up and until the maturity of the financing, there will also be a shareholder support mechanism for the repayment of the TAP loan by means of capital contributions (Debt Payment Undertaking), which will be activated were certain extraordinary events to happen.
Both the guarantee during the construction period and this support mechanism during the operating period are contractually limited by a cap in force throughout the life of the financing arrangement, so that the amounts claimed from Enagás may never exceed a total amount of 903,322 thousands of euros, regardless of the market value of the derivative or any other contingency.
At December 31, 2017, the commitment acquired in the existing Financing Agreement with the company Knubbsäl Topholding AB (Swedegas Group) in the amount of 24,131 thousands of euros was included, through which the Enagás Group undertook to grant a corporate guarantee in favour of the financing entities if the Financing Agreement currently existing has not been cancelled or refinanced six months before its expiration, which is established for the month of July 2022.
In this respect, at November 21, 2018, the sale took place of the entire stake in the Swedegas Group to FS Gas Transport AB (Note 1.5), so that, at December 31, 2018, the Enagás Group does not have this guarantee.

The following items are included:
The Directors consider that no additional significant liabilities will arise in connection with the transactions disclosed in this note other than those already recognized in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The accounting policies used in the preparation of these Consolidated Annual Accounts, other than those applied in the Consolidated Annual Accounts for the year ended December 31, 2017, as they came into force on January 1, 2018 are the following:
| Approved for use in the European Union | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Standards | Content | Mandatory application for periods beginning on or after: |
|
| IFRS 15 | Revenue from contracts with customers | Annual periods beginning on January 1, 2018. |
|
| IFRS 9 | Financial instruments | Annual periods beginning on January 1, 2018. |

Said Standard was approved by the European Union via the corresponding publication in the Official Journal of the European Union on October 29, 2016, stipulating its mandatory application for annual periods starting from January 1, 2018.
IFRS 15 replaces IAS 11 Construction Contracts, IAS 18 Revenue and related interpretations and applies to all revenue arising from contracts with customers, with limited exceptions. IFRS 15 establishes a five-step model that applies to the accounting for revenue from customer contracts and requires revenue to be recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. It also requires entities to exercise judgement, taking into account all relevant facts and circumstances, when applying each stage of the model to contracts with their customers. The Standard also provides for the recognition of an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer, if the customer expects to recover them; there is a practical solution to treat such incremental costs directly as expenses when their expected recovery period is one year or less.
The new model for ordinary revenue is applicable to all contracts with customers, except those that are within the scope of other IFRS, such as leases, insurance agreements, and financial instruments. Transfers of assets that do not correspond to the ordinary activities of the entity (such as the sale of PP&E items, real estate, or intangible assets) are also subject to some of the recognition and measurement requirements of the new model established by IFRS 15. However, the recognition of interest and revenue from dividends is beyond the scope of this Standard.
The Group adopted IFRS 15 using the amended retroactive method as at January 1, 2018. Under this method, the standard may be applied to all contracts existing on the date of initial application or only to contracts that have not been completed by that date. The Group has chosen to apply the standard to all contracts existing as of January 1, 2018.
The cumulative effect of the initial application of IFRS 15 is recognized at the date of initial application as an adjustment to Reserves. Therefore, comparative information has not been updated and continues to be presented in accordance with IAS 11, IAS 18 and related interpretations.
With respect to the specific risks relating to revenue for the Enagás Group, an analysis was performed to determine the impacts which may arise from implementation of said Standard and the following was identified:
are the amounts received for the implementation of connections between the infrastructure of the basic network of
Enagás Transporte, S.A.U. and Enagás Transporte del Norte, S.L. and the networks of distribution companies, secondary transmission companies, gas shippers and qualified customers, initially recognized as deferred income and then applied to income, based on the service life of the assigned facilities.
Based on the types of contractual agreements supporting this type of income, it has been determined that there is an implicit financing component which, under the new regulatory requirements, must be recognized as a liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheet (Note 2.7).
• Additionally, "Other operating income" in the Consolidated Income Statement mainly includes deferred income corresponding to the "gas transportation rights" contracts signed with the subsidiaries Gasoducto de Extremadura, S.A. and Gasoducto Al-Andalus, S.A., to which the proportionate consolidation method is applied using the percentage of interest held by Enagás Transporte, S.A.U. in said companies (Note 1.3). Said deferred income is released to the Consolidated Income Statement on a straight-line basis up to the year 2020, when the aforementioned transport contract terminates.
As in the case of executing infrastructure connections in the basic network, the Company determined that those types of contract include a component of implicit financing, which in accordance with the new regulatory stipulations must be recognized as a liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheet (Note 2.7).
Based on all the above, at January 1, 2018 the Company has recognized the accumulated effect of initial adoption of IFRS 15 as an initial negative Reserve, for an approximate amount of 28.2 million euros (net of tax effect), with a balancing entry of 37.6 million euros recognized as a liability, as indicated above and in Note 2.7. Said amount will subsequently be taken to the Consolidated Income Statement during the life of the corresponding contracts, having separated their components amongst greater operational income (transaction price) and greater financial expenses (significant financial component).
In relation to the foregoing, the main impact of the application of IFRS 15 during financial year 2018 in the Consolidated Income Statement was an increase of 951 thousands of euros in turnover, an increase of 13,616 thousands of euros in operating income, as well as an increase of 5,588 thousands of euros in financial expenses (Note 2.7).
The Contracts liabilities heading which amounts to 68,502 thousands of euros (79,971 thousands of euros at January 1, 2018) (Note 2.7) relates to the amounts received for the execution of infrastructure connections in the basic network of Enagás Transporte, S.A.U. and Enagás Transporte del Norte, S.L. and for the "gas transmission right" contract, which were

recognized as deferred income (Note 2.7) and which, on the basis of the useful lives assigned, not being applied in its entirety to income at December 31, 2018. Revenue from contract liabilities applied in 2018 relates to contract liabilities included at the beginning of the year.
As in the previous case, this Standard was approved by the European Union during 2016, via publication in its Official Journal on November 29, 2016, stipulating that its application would be obligatory for yearly periods starting from January 1, 2018. In accordance with the transitional provisions of the Standard, the Enagás Group has applied it without restating the comparative information for the year 2017, and therefore recognising the adjustment to the carrying amount of the financial assets and liabilities in reserves at January 1, 2018. However, to better compare 2018 and 2017, a reconciliation based on the new categories is shown in the Classification and Valuation section below.
This Standard substitutes the current IAS 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement." The conceptual changes are important in all sections of the Standard, changing the classification and valuation model for financial assets, adapted to the entity's business model and refocusing the accounting model for hedges to align it with the economic management of risk, as well as modifying the current model used for impairment based on losses incurred to a model based on expected losses.
The new Standard requires that financial assets be classified when they are initially recorded as valued at amortized cost or at fair value.
The classification depends on the business model of the entity and the existence or not of certain contractually agreed upon cash flows.
In contrast, at the initial recognition of a financial asset, an entity may opt to measure it at fair value through profit or loss if this allows the entity to eliminate or reduce an accounting asymmetry.
All other financial assets are measured at fair value, recording the profits and losses resulting from the subsequent valuation in the Consolidated Income Statement.
By virtue of the analysis carried out, and except for derivative financial instruments, whose category would correspond to fair value with changes in the Consolidated Income Statement (or application of hedge accounting criteria if applicable), the category of amortized cost is that which applies to practically all of the Group's financial assets. This new category does not present significant differences in terms of measurement from the categories adopted under IAS 39 (Note 3.3.a).
The following is a breakdown of the classification and valuation of financial assets under IAS 39 and IFRS 9 on the date of first application:
| Type of instrument |
Classification at 12.31.2017 (IAS 39) |
Classification at 01.01.2018 (IFRS 9) |
Amount under IAS 39 (thousands of euros) |

A new impairment model is introduced based on expected loss, unlike the current model under IAS 39 that is based on incurred loss.
To calculate this expected loss, the Enagás Group has developed its own financial model, based both on internal information (such as existing balances, guarantees received and contractual commitments) and on external amounts (such as credit assessments of clients and agencies, macroeconomic factors, etc.) that could impact on the credit risk of the Group's debtors.
Following the analysis described above, an increase of approximately 500 thousands euros has been registered in the provision for impairment of financial assets. This amount mainly affects "Other non-current financial assets" due to loans granted to affiliates and "Trade and other receivables", of the attached Balance Sheet.
The new model attempts to bring the accounting criteria in line with risk management. The three types of hedge accounting in use at present are maintained (cash flow hedges, fair value hedges, and net investment hedges).
In view of the Enagás Group's current portfolio of derivatives, the fundamental effect comes from the evaluation of the effectiveness, since the current rules are removed and evaluation criteria are established so that they are aligned with risk management through the principle of "economic relationship", thus eliminating the requirement for retrospective evaluation. However, in no case has the new hedge accounting model led to any substantial changes in the hedging relationships currently applied, and there have been no first-time impacts of the Standard.

In application of the IASB's 2017 interpretation on the treatment of the refinancing of financial liabilities under IFRS 9, contractual flows of refinanced debt must be discounted at the original effective interest rate, revised with the associated commissions, in place of the new rate resulting from the refinancing operation.
The difference obtained will have an impact on the Consolidated Income Statement as an expense or income at the date of the refinancing, although, given the retroactive nature of this interpretation, for those transactions carried out prior to January 1, 2018, the existing difference will be recorded against Reserves.
The Enagás Group has three operations subject to the Interpretation mentioned above, two carried out by the subsidiary Enagás Financiaciones, S.A.U. in financial year 2015, and another by GNL Quintero, S.A. in financial year 2014.
The impact on the Enagás Group of this Interpretation involves an initial Reserve of approximately 20 million euros (net of tax effect), 10.3 million euros of which affects the external partners, as well as a reduction in the amount of debt to approximately 24 million euros (Note 3.4.c). This lower value of debt will be reclassified to the Consolidated Income Statement as a greater financial expense with a view to recognizing the debt at the original effective rate in future periods.
The impact on the Consolidated Income Account in 2018 as a result of the aforementioned refinancing operations has led to an increase in finance costs of 3,602 thousands of euros.
The Group intends to adopt the standards, interpretations, and amendments thereof issued by the IASB that are not mandatory in the European Union at the date these Consolidated Annual Accounts were prepared when they become effective, where applicable. Based on the analysis conducted to date, the Group believes that their first-time application will not have a material impact on the Consolidated Annual Accounts, except for the following standard:
| Approved for use in the European Union | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standards | Content | Mandatory application for periods beginning on or after: |

| IFRS 16 | New standard for leases substituting IAS 17. The main novelty of the new standard involves a single lessee accounting model, which includes all leases (with certain exceptions) in the balance sheet with a similar effect to financial leases (there will be amortization of assets for right-of-use and a financial expense for the amortized cost of the liability). |
Annual periods beginning on January 1, 2019. |

IFRS 16 was issued in January 2016 and replaces IAS 17 - Leases; IFRIC 4 - Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease; SIC-15 Operating leases - Incentives; and SIC 27 - Evaluating the Substance of Transactions in the Legal Form of a Lease.
IFRS 16 establishes the principles for recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclose requirements regarding leases and requires that lessees account for all leases under one single balance sheet model similar to the current accounting of financial leases in accordance with IAS 17.
On the start date of a lease, the lessee will recognise a financial liability for the payments to be made during the remaining life of the lease agreement and an asset that represents the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term. Lessees must also recognise the interest expense arising from the lease financial liability and the right of use amortization expense separately.
The lessees will also be obliged to re-evaluate the financial liability recognized for the lease when certain events occur (for example, a change in the duration, changes in future lease payments which result from changes in an index or rate used to determine the payments). The lessee will generally recognise the lease liability amount revaluation as an adjustment to the asset for the right of use.
The lessor's accounting under IFRS 16 is not substantially changed compared to the current accounting standards, so it will continue to classify leases using the same classification principles: operating and financial leases.
IFRS 16 is effective for those periods starting from January 1, 2019 or subsequently and allows for early application.
The Enagás Group has chosen not to apply the new standard early, and will do so for the first time for the year beginning January 1, 2019.
For transition purposes, the Enagás Group plans to apply the modified retroactive transition method for the most significant existing leases and the simplified method for the remaining leases, on a combined basis.
The Enagás Group mainly has operating leases in which it is a lessee, having carried out a detailed evaluation of the impact of this new Standard on the Consolidated Financial Statements through the following tasks:
Accordingly, the reasonably estimated impacts of the initial application of IFRS 16 at January 1, 2019 on the Consolidated Balance Sheet are as follows:
The application of IFRS 16 would have had the following impacts on the Consolidated Income Statement and the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement for 2018:

• The acquisition by the parent of control of a subsidiary constitutes a business combination, which is recognized using the acquisition method.
During 2016 the Enagás Group acquired a 40% stake in addition to the 20.4% it already held in GNL Quintero, which resulted in total interest of 60.4%. Subsequently, all of the shareholders of GNL Quintero unanimously agreed to modify the existing shareholder agreement, effective from January 1, 2017. These amendments to the aforementioned shareholders' agreement gave Enagás Chile, SpA. control over GNL Quintero on 1 January 2017, as it was able to unilaterally adopt the relevant decisions of the company. This meant a change in the consolidation method from the equity method to the global integration with the recognition of the corresponding external partners.
In accordance with IFRS 3, this acquisition of control in 2017 represents a business combination carried out in stages, which requires measuring the interest formerly held in the equity of the acquired company at its fair value at the date of acquiring control. On January 1, 2017, the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in the business combination were determined by the Enagás Group using the acquisition price in 2016 (400 million US dollars for a 40% stake) as a reference value, in the amount of 1,000 million US dollars for 100% of GNL Quintero.
• The accounting policies that the Enagás Group applies to goodwill are described in Note 2.5.
Revaluation of the previous stake (60.40%) resulted in a positive impact of 33,831 thousands of euros, and cancellation of the translation differences accumulated in equity at the date of acquiring control of 18,575 thousands of euros of income. Both effects were recognized under "Finance revenue and similar income" in the Consolidated Income Statement at December 31, 2017. The gain generated was calculated in the following way:
| Thousands of euros |
|
|---|---|
| Fair value of previous net assets (60.4%)(1) | 574,527 |
| Net carrying amount of interest held at 12.31.2016 (60.4%) (2) |
540,696 |
| Total revaluation of initial net amount | 33,831 |
| Cancellation of accumulated translation differences in Equity at 12.31.2016 |
18,575 |
| Impact on profit and loss | 52,406 |
(1) Taking 1,000 million US dollars for the full 100% stake as a reference value (951 million euros at the exchange rate of January 1, 2017)
(2) Investment accounted at December 31, 2016 under the equity method for 60.4% of GNL Quintero.
No significant business combinations occurred in 2018.

• Operating profit amounted to 691 million euros.
• "Current receivables" include the balance pending settlement corresponding to the remuneration of regulated regasification, transmission and underground storage activities for 308.1 million euros corresponding to financial year 2018 (367.9 million euros at December 31, 2017), as well as the outstanding balance corresponding to the remuneration of the Technical Manager for 5.5 million euros (6.7 million euros at December 31, 2017) (Note 2.2).
• The distribution of investments by category was the following:

• In relation to the Castor storage facility (Note 2.4), the Enagás Group filed a claim for liability in December 2018 in order to recognise the right to remuneration for the entrusted operation and maintenance for the infrastructure.
• In August 2018 a new administrative authorisation, approval of the execution project and environmental impact statement were requested for the El Musel regasification plant, as well as a favourable resolution on the technical and economic conditions for the provision of capacity services and for the start-up of the facilities (Note 2.4).

Inclusion of the variable portion with respect to remuneration for supply continuity allows for adjustment of system costs in situations of varying demand, balancing the differences between income and costs of the system, as well as transferring part of the risk relating to variable demand, which until now has been assumed by the end consumer, to the owner of the facilities.
This portion is based on the total changes in domestic consumption of natural gas excluding the supply through satellite plants in respect to prior year in the case of transmission facilities, of the variation in demand for regasified gas in all the plants operating in the system in the case of regasification facilities, and the change in usable gas held at the storage facilities, at November 1 of the corresponding year and including cushion gas mechanically extracted of the latter.
Remuneration for supply continuity is divided amongst all the facilities based on the weighting of their replacement value with respect to all facilities relating to the activity, calculating said values by applying the unit investment values prevailing for each year.
Once the regulatory useful life of the facilities has elapsed, and in those cases in which the asset remains operational, the operating and maintenance costs are established as fixed remuneration, increased by a coefficient based on the number of years by which the facility exceeds the regulatory useful life, not accruing any amounts as investment remuneration.
Further, this heading includes the accrual of amounts received for connecting the basic network infrastructure of Enagás Transporte, S.A.U. and Enagás Transporte del Norte, S.L. with networks of distribution companies, secondary transmission companies, gas shippers, and qualified clients. Said income is recognized based on the useful life of the assigned facilities.
Based on the types of contractual agreements supporting this type of income, it has been determined that there is an implicit financing component which, under the new regulatory requirements, must be recognized as a liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

• Financial assets are recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at the transaction date when the Group becomes party to the contractual terms of the instrument.

The Group will assess the expected credit losses of a financial instrument in a way that reflects:
Under the new standard, an entity will measure the value correction for losses of a financial instrument in an amount equal to the expected credit losses during the life of the asset, if the risk of that financial instrument has increased significantly since its initial recognition.
Conversely, that is, if the credit risk of a financial instrument has not increased significantly since the initial recognition, an entity will measure the value correction for losses at an amount equal to the expected credit losses in the next 12 months.
The gain or loss resulting from impairment of value, the amount of the expected credit losses (or reversals) by which it is required that the value adjustment for losses be adjusted on the posting date to reflect the amount to be recognized under this standard will be recorded in the income of the period.
In the case of the Enagás Group, practically all financial assets present a low credit risk at the date of posting, and their exposure to events that generate credit losses during the next 12 months is therefore calculated.

(1) The decrease entered in "Land and buildings" corresponds mainly to an adjustment in the cost of the land of the Denia Compression Station once the Supreme Court resolved the dispute that motivated said cost provision. On the other hand, the losses in "Plant and machinery", mainly represent the settlement of the provision for fair values of the final section of the Barcelona-Arbós gas pipeline, is pending resolution by the Expropriation Jury, amounting to 2,350 thousands of euros.
(2) During the financial year 2018, the Enagás Group proceeded to carry out an analysis of both projects and inventories of materials stored in warehouses. After said analysis, the Group recognized impairment losses on both materials considered obsolete, as well as on those investments made that are most likely not going to be executed, amounting to 38,432 thousands of euros.

(1) "Increases due to changes in the consolidation scope" at December 31, 2017 reflects the effect of consolidating the interest held in GNL Quintero under the full consolidation method as a consequence of acquiring control over the company on January 1, 2017 (Note 1.11).
The year's increases in "Other facilities, equipment and furniture" due to transfers from "Plant and Machinery" and "Advances and Fixed Assets in Progress" are mainly due to the acquisition of the Cushion Gas Pipelines and Plants (75,748 thousands of euros), the start-up of the "Electricity generators in the Gaviota Underground Storage platform" projects (3,046 thousands of euros), and the "Adaptation of the Barcelona dock facilities for Small Scale" (1,244 thousands of euros).
There are no mortgages or encumbrances of any type on assets recorded as property, plant, and equipment.
The Group's policy is to provide sufficient insurance coverage for its assets so as to avoid any significant losses. In addition, the Group has contracted the corresponding insurance policies to cover third party civil liabilities.

On March 1, 2016, Enagás Transporte received notification of the ruling handed down by the Supreme Court on February 29, 2016, dismissing the appeal filed by the central government and said company against the sentence of July 31, 2013 passed by the Madrid High Court which upheld the appeal filed by the Green Party of Asturias against the Directorate General for Energy Policy and Mining resolution of December 29, 2008 granting Enagás the prior administrative authorization for construction of the
regasification plant for liquefied natural gas in El Musel (Gijón), thereby nullifying said administrative authorization.
The Company understands that the Supreme Court ruling does not entail any changes to the technical or economic situation of the facility, as (i) the location and technical characteristics of the facility are perfectly in line with prevailing legislation in light of the replacement of the regulation relating to annoying, unhealthy, harmful or hazardous activities with Law 34/2007, of November 15, on air quality and protection of the atmosphere and the facility; and (ii) the facility has received the necessary commissioning certification for the sole purposes indicated in the Third Transitional Provision of Royal Decree Law 13/2012, and thus the remuneration recognized and received by the Company is justified on the basis of said Royal Decree and not the nullified authorization.
The Ministry for Energy, Tourism, and Digital Agenda pronounced itself similarly when it informed the High Court of Madrid in connection with the execution of the sentence requested by the Green Party of Asturias that "[…] it considers, at any rate, that the sentence has already been executed as the nullification does not involve or require the dismantling of the facility or the suspension of remuneration currently being received". This execution request has already been resolved in a firm manner by the High Court of Justice of Madrid, by Order of October 16, 2017, which has considered the ruling of the court already executed in its entirety after the declaration of nullity of the authorization of the regasification plant and its hibernation, without the need to perform any other action on it.
On the other hand, Royal Decree 335/2018, of May 25, has been published and has come into force, restoring the processing of the facilities affected by section 2 of the third transitory provision of Royal Decree-Law 13/2012, of March 30. This includes the El Musel regasification plant, determining the procedure and conditions thereof, with Enagás Transporte having requested, on August 6, 2018, in accordance with the provisions of the regulation and the LSH, a new administrative authorization, approval of the implementation project and environmental impact statement of the LNG regasification plant project. Enagás Transporte also requested a favourable resolution of the technical and economic conditions for the provision of capacity services and for the commissioning of the facilities. To date, the aforementioned requests are in procedure of the environment assessment to obtain the Environmental Impact Declaration ("DIA").
At December 31, 2018 and 2017 the carrying amount of said investment totalled 378,887 thousands of euros. Likewise, during 2018 and 2017 and in accordance with Royal Decree Law 13/2012, said regasification plant received both financial remuneration as well as remuneration for operating and maintenance costs in connection with the actions carried out by the Company to maintain the plant ready for service. Both of the aforementioned sources of remuneration have been recognized annually by the successive Ministerial Orders regarding remuneration and tolls.
Thus, the Directors of the Group, based on the legal opinions of internal and external advisors, do not consider it necessary to recognize any measurement adjustments.
No significant changes arose with respect to 2017 in connection with the project for construction of a regasification plant at the Granadilla port. Thus, on March 16, 2015, the Madrid Supreme Court of Administrative Appeals handed down a sentence annulling the Resolution passed by the Directorate General for Energy Policy and Mining on May 4, 2012, which granted Gascan the prior

administrative authorization for construction of a plant for receiving, storing, and regasifying liquefied natural gas in Granadilla (Tenerife), as well as the Environmental Impact Statement for said project, considered favourably in the Resolution passed on June 8, 2007 by the General Secretariat for the Prevention of Pollution and Climate Change.
Both Gascan and the Public Prosecutor filed an appeal against the aforementioned ruling, which was resolved by a Supreme Court ruling dated March 5, 2018 confirming the annulment of the aforementioned administrative authorisation and Environmental Impact Statement.
Note, however, that on June 22, 2015, Gascan proceeded to request a new administrative authorization for the LNG Regasification Plant project, in accordance with the energy plan approved by the Council of Ministers and also in accordance with a series of amendments of a technical nature that had been applied to it, with the result that, to date, an Environmental Impact Statement has already been formulated by the Ministry of Environment in favour of the amended facilities project, dated July 15, 2016 (BOE No. 176 of July 22), previous step along with the report of the National Markets and Competition Commission ("CNMC") in order to obtain the new administrative authorization.
Thus, the Directors of the Enagás Group, based on the legal opinions of internal and external advisors, do not consider it necessary to recognize any provision.
As explained in Notes 8.1 of the 2014 Consolidated Annual Accounts of the Enagás Group, on October 4, 2014 the Official State Gazette published the Royal Decree Law 13/2014 of October 3, by virtue of which urgent measures were adopted in connection with the gas system and title to the nuclear power plants, with a view to guaranteeing the security of people, goods, and the environment with respect to the Castor natural gas underground storage facility, which establishes, amongst other matters, the following:
collection right, that said right could be freely available to Enagás Transporte, S.A.U. or its third-party titleholders, and could consequently be totally or partially, ceded, transferred, discounted, pledged, or taxed in favour of any third parties, including securitization funds or other vehicles or companies with a special purpose, either domestic or international. The cession of the collection right will be effective with respect to the gas system, which will pay the new titleholder the corresponding amounts.
In light of the above, on October 4, 2014, Enagás Transporte, S.A.U. signed an agreement with various financial entities by virtue of which it ceded the collection right awarded by the aforementioned Royal Decree Law, with said entities assuming the payment obligation imposed on Enagás Transporte, S.A.U. In this manner, on November 11, 2014, said financial entities made a payment of 1,350,729 thousands of euros to the titleholder of the extinguished concession.
Further, Enagás Transporte, S.A.U. transferred the aforementioned contractual obligations and rights inherent to ownership of the financial asset to said financial entities, thus derecognizing it from the balance sheet as the directors of the Group consider that all associated risks and benefits have been transferred.
On December 21, 2017 the Constitutional Court handed down a sentence no. 152/2017 declaring various provisions of Royal Decree Law 13/2014 as unconstitutional and null and void due to formal errors. Specifically, (i) acknowledgement of the investment made by the renouncing concessionaire and costs accrued up to the date of said norm becoming effective, and thus the consideration in the amount of 1,350,729 thousands of euros, as well as (ii) recognition of the correlated collection right of Enagás Transporte, S.A.U. with respect to the gas system for the amount of consideration cited, considering that in both cases the reasons given for the urgency were not justified and therefore said measures should be excluded from the ordinary legislative procedure.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Constitutional Court did declare the following as constitutional and valid: (i) adoption of the decision to hibernate the underground storage facility; (ii) the declaration of the extinction of the concession; and (iii) the appointment of Enagás Transporte, S.A.U. for administration of the facilities to the extent the hibernation is prolonged; as well as (iv) recognition of the right to obtain remuneration for the maintenance and operability costs for Enagás Transporte, S.A.U., including any costs incurred for the administration and other related work which said Royal Decree Law established as a requirement.
In accordance with the analysis carried out by the Company's external legal advisors, the purchase-sale contract for the collection rights signed by Enagás Transporte, S.A.U. with the financial entities represents the transfer of rights and obligations to the financial entities and in no case does it enable the buyers (or their possible transferees) the possibility of claiming reimbursement for the price received or payment of any other amounts from the seller. Thus, in no case can adverse effects arise in connection with the financing of the operation for the Company due to the sentence of the Constitutional Court, as Enagás Transporte, S.A.U. is not titleholder to the collection right which was annulled nor is it obliged to pay the titleholder of the extinguished concession.
Likewise, in accordance with said analysis and conclusions, the aforementioned sentence does not give rise to any negative effect on the right of Enagás Transporte, S.A.U. to obtain remuneration for the administration and operations necessary for maintenance and operability of the infrastructure, as the Royal Decree Law was

not affected in such a manner by the declaration of unconstitutionality.
In this sense, with regard to the remuneration payable to Enagás Transporte for 2014 and annual instalments from 2015 to 2018, the Supreme Court, based on the declaration of unconstitutionality of Article 6 of RD-Law 13/2014, handed down the judgements of November 7 and 12, 2018 (CA Appeals Nos. 3814/2015 and 4383/2015), nullifying the provisions that specified the terms of the remuneration to be received by Enagás Transporte, SAU, as of December 1, 2014 and for 2015, in payment of the administrative obligations imposed by Article 3 of the aforementioned RD-law and by virtue of the latter's right recognized by the final paragraph of section 2 of the same Article, whose constitutionality was confirmed by the Constitutional Court in judgement No. 152/2017, of December 21, 2017.
In addition, the Supreme Court issued the judgements of November 15 and 29, 2018 (CA Appeals Nos. 648/2016 and 3572/2016), which annul the provisions that specified the terms of the remuneration to be received by Enagás Transporte, S.A.U. for 2016 under the aforementioned legal basis, as it judged the same doctrine contained in the judgements referred to in the previous paragraph to be applicable.
With regard to these costs for 2014 and annual instalments for 2015 and 2016, in October 2018 the CNMC started an ex officio review procedure of the final approved settlements, with the purpose of recovering the definitive amounts received by Enagás Transporte as well as the corresponding legal interest calculated from the date of the instalments until the date of the return of the amounts to the settlement system.
Finally, in relation to the costs recognized for the 2017 and 2018 annual payments, the appeals filed against Order ETU/1977/2016, referring to the remuneration of the costs payable to Enagás Transporte, S.A.U., for 2017, and against Order ETU/1283/2017, referring to the costs recognized for 2018 are still pending. Notwithstanding the fact that the judgement has not yet been handed and that these costs are recognized in the aforementioned Ministerial Orders and the validity of the collection right has been confirmed by the Constitutional Court, the CNMC deducted (through compensation) the amounts provisionally received in 2017 by Enagás Transporte, S.A.U., for costs recognized for 2017 (not included in the final settlement of the regulated activities of the Natural Gas Sector for 2017) and omitted the inclusion of any payment for the costs of the administration of the storage corresponding to 2018.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it should be noted that Enagás Transporte, S.A.U., continues to perform the functions of storage administrator, to which it is legally bound; and that it will continue to provide these functions throughout the period until the end of the hibernation period, which can only take effect by the Agreement of the Council of Ministers authorizing the decommissioning of the storage or integration of the facilities into an operating concession, all in accordance with articles 1.2 and 3.1 of RD-law 13/2014. All this unless a new provision of the same legal status is enacted that alters this situation.
And given that, as a result of this administration, Enagás Transporte, S.A.U., has assumed the costs derived from the imposed maintenance and operability operations, as well as those of storage administration; and since, in addition, the right of the aforementioned trading company to obtain a fee for the functions commissioned by RD-law 13/2014 and carried out in relation to the Castor storage remains in force, because it does not derive from Article 6, annulled by the Constitutional Court, but is expressly recognized in Article 3.2 of that decree, which remains unchanged, it is considered that the right of Enagás Transporte,
SAU to receive the corresponding payment for the costs incurred is beyond doubt, the only question being about the specific terms in which this right is specified, as that article 6 has been annulled.
In the light of the above and in view of the need to implement an alternative mechanism through which the corresponding remuneration for the legally entrusted tasks is received, on December 21, 2018, Enagás Transporte, SAU, presented a claim of material responsibility to the Ministry for the Ecological Transition requesting (i) the right of Enagás Transporte, S.A.U., to be compensated for the damages suffered as a result of the facilities administration tasks, plus corresponding legal interests, (ii) payment of the amounts corresponding to the remuneration for the costs assumed by Enagás Transporte, S.A.U., up to the moment when the resolution is issued, plus the corresponding legal interest, and (iii) the right of Enagás Transporte, S.A.U., to be compensated for any damages incurred as a result of the facilities administration tasks up to the moment at which the Council of Ministers adopts the agreement that puts an end to the storage hibernation.
According the legal conclusions of the external and internal advisors, it is considered that this damages lawsuit represents a virtually certain mechanism for recovering both the amounts deducted from the remuneration corresponding to fiscal year 2017, the amounts not paid referring to 2018 and the amounts that could be refunded in the future as a result of the review actions by the CNMC in relation to the definitive settlements corresponding to 2014 and the 2015 and 2016 years, as well as their possible interests. This implies that an account receivable for the right of Enagás Transporte, S.A.U., to be paid for the Castor underground storage administration, must be kept on the balance sheet, the conclusion being that there is no negative impact on the Group's financial statements as a result of the judgements of the Constitutional Court or the Supreme Court referred to above.
As of December 31, 2018, the amount recorded as income of the Company during financial years 2014 to 2018 pending recovery amounts to 15.1 million euros.
As the estimate of the claims of Enagás Transporte, S.A.U., is highly probable, if the legal assumptions for their recognition are fulfilled, no material loss will result from this at the end of 2018.

Determination of impairment losses on non-current assets other than financial assets is based on fulfilment of a series of hypotheses which are described below in this note and are revised annually. The Group identifies its operating segments based on internal reports relating to the companies comprising the Group which are regularly reviewed, discussed, and evaluated in the decision-making process, as indicated in Note 4.7.
To the extent that assets grouped within a segment are at the lowest level at which independent cash flows can be identified, the segment is identified as a cash generating unit (CGU).
The CGUs identified by the Enagás Group in 2017 and 2018 are shown below:
To estimate value in use, the Enagás Group estimates projections regarding future cash flows after taxes based on the most recent budget forecasts approved by the Directors. The best estimates available for income, costs, and investments relating to CGUs are used for said forecast, making use of past experience, sector projections, and future expectations, in accordance with the prevailing regulatory framework and corresponding contracts.
With respect to infrastructure activity, once the regulatory useful life of the facilities has elapsed, and in those cases in which the asset remains operational, the operating and maintenance costs are established as fixed remuneration, increased by a coefficient based on the number of years by which the facility exceeds the regulatory useful life, not accruing any amounts as investment remuneration, amortization, or financial remuneration. In addition to said fixed remuneration, the Remuneration for Supply Continuity (RSC) will be maintained as it is independent of the regulatory useful life of the asset in question.
Thus, when determining residual value, the following is taken into consideration:
The last period considered for projections is the one corresponding to the year in which the regulatory useful life ends, based on the age of the facilities at the time.
With respect to the activities corresponding to Technical Management of the System, residual values were calculated based on the cash flows of the last period, using a zero-growth rate and no normalization adjustments. This is due to the fact that, as indicated in Appendix III, revenue corresponding to this activity is meant to settle the obligations of Enagás GTS, S.A.U. as Technical Manager of the System, which is the same as that calculated annually based on the accredited costs for each year. For the last period, the same criteria were applied as those used for infrastructure activity, under the understanding that while the gas infrastructure is operational and there is demand for gas, technical management of the gas system will continue.
The cash generating unit corresponding to LNG Quintero integrates the terminal's plant, property and equipment for the reception, unloading, storage and regasification of Liquefied Natural Gas as well as the intangible assets corresponding to the Terminal Use Agreement ("TUA"), the maritime concession, the rights relating to the gas transmission contract and the Esval rights.
As can be deduced from the previous paragraph, said assets generate cash flows through the TUA contract (Note 2.1), which are considered for the evaluation of the recovery of the aforementioned assets, during the original contract extension in addition to the other extensions of the same.
The Directors consider that their forecasts are reliable and that past experience, taken together with the nature of the business, make it possible to predict cash flows for the periods under consideration.
The most representative hypotheses used in the projections, based on business forecasts and past experience, are the following:

In order to calculate present value, projected future cash flows are discounted at an after-tax rate which reflects the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) corresponding to the business and the geographical area in which the business is carried out. For its calculation, the time value of money is taken into consideration together with the risk-free rate and risk premiums generally used by analysts of the business and geographic area in question. The risk-free rate corresponds to the sovereign bonds issued by each country in the corresponding market, with sufficient depth and solvency. However, associated country risk is also taken into consideration for each geographical area. The risk premium of the asset corresponds to the risks specific to the asset, calculated taking into consideration the estimated betas in accordance with
the selection of comparable businesses dedicating themselves to a similar main activity.
The after-tax discount rate for regulated activities in Spain is between 3.44% and 3.94% for both 2018 and 2017 (the pre-tax discount rate for both 2018 and 2017 is between 5.60% and 6.60%). In addition, the after-tax discount rate used for Chile in 2018 is 6.28% (5.78% was the before-tax discount rate used in 2017). The sensitivity analysis of the discount rate with a +/- 0.5% variation carried out at 2018 year-end showed that the Group is not exposed to significant risk arising from reasonably possible changes. Thus, Group management considers that, within the specified ranges, there would be no changes in the impairment calculation.

(1) The amounts recognized for royalties relating to Gasoducto de Extremadura, S.A. and Gasoducto Al-Ándalus, S.A. correspond to the balances pending application with respect to the contracts signed with said companies for "gas transmission rights," which are consolidated under the proportionate consolidation method applying the percentage of ownership interest held by Enagás Transporte, S.A.U. in said companies. This income is allocated and recognized on a straight-line basis up to 2020, the year in which the transmission contract terminates.
At December 31, 2018, the heading "Customer contract liabilities" includes performance obligations pending performance with an estimated term of more than one year, amounting to 2,023 thousands of euros.
It was determined that the amounts received for the execution of connections and those received for the gas transport contract have an associated significant financing component, which the Enagás Group recognized in the financial result of the consolidated income statement for 2018 for the sum of 5,588 thousands of euros.
At December 31, 2018, the Enagás Group had no refund or reimbursement rights associated with contracts with customers.

certain that reimbursement will be received, unless there is a legal relationship whereby a portion of risk has been externalized as a result of which the Group is not liable, in which case, reimbursement will be taken into consideration in estimating the amount of any provisions. The policy followed with respect to the recognition of provisions for risks and expenses is to recognize the estimated amount required to settle probable or certain liabilities arising from litigation underway, pending indemnities or liabilities, sureties and similar guarantees. They are recognized upon emergence of the liability or obligation determining the indemnity or payment.
The movements during the period under the heading "Non-current provisions" and "Current provisions" were as follows:
| Current and non-current provisions | Opening balance |
Provisions | Updates | Reclassification | Applications | Closing balance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Personnel remuneration | 5,930 | 1,446 | 10 | (7,386) | - | - |
| Other long-term liabilities | 1,252 | 196 | (9) | (534) | 905 | |
| Dismantling | 171,222 | (363) | 4,726 | - | 175,585 | |
| Total non-current provisions | 178,404 | 1,279 | 4,727 | (7,386) | (534) | 176,490 |
| Other short-term liabilities | - | 3,369 | - | - | 3,369 | |
| Total current provisions | - | 3,369 | - | - | 3,369 | |
| Total current and non-current provisions | 178,404 | 4,648 | 4,727 | (7,386) | (534) | 179,859 |
The dismantling provisions correspond to the underground storage facilities of Gaviota, Yela, and Serrablo, as well as the regasification plants of Barcelona, Cartagena, Huelva, and El Musel(Gijón) in accordance with the prevailing regulatory framework (Note 2.4 and Appendix III).
Decommissioning provisions are subject to periodic review, in order to monitor possible changes in any of the assumptions used, assuming in that case the corresponding change in book value, applied prospectively.
In this periodic review of decommissioning provision corresponding to regasification plants and underground storage facilities, at December 31, 2018, the Company re-estimated the decommissioning provisions, resulting in a reduction of approximately 363 thousands of euros.
Additionally, this provision has been updated in the periods following its incorporation, applying a discount rate before taxes that reflects the current assessments that the market is making of the temporal value of money, and those specific risks related to the actual obligation subject provision. The discount rate used in the 2018 and 2017 financial years is 2.76%.
As a result of the effect of this restatement, at December 31, 2018 an increase of 4,726 thousands of euros was registered in the decommissioning provision.
Lastly, the Company has proceeded to perform the corresponding sensitivity analysis, showing that a change in the discount rate of +/- 0.05% would result in a change in the amount recognized for the provision of 1.4% and -1.4%, respectively.
The heading "Personnel remuneration" registered the cash portion of the Long-Term Incentive Plan for the executive directors and senior management (Note 4.4) as well as the three-year bonus plan for contribution to results aimed at the remaining personnel of the Company, which will be paid in 2019. During financial year 2018, the amount recorded in this heading was reclassified in the short term to the "Trade and other payable" heading (Note 2.3).
The Directors of the Company consider that the provisions recognized in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet for litigation and arbitration risk as well as other risks described in this note are adequate and, in this respect, they do not expect any additional liabilities to arise other than those already recorded. Given the nature of the risks covered by these provisions, it is not possible to determine a reasonably reliable schedule of payment dates, if any.
At December 31, 2018, no circumstances had arisen in the Enagás Group that may give rise to contingent liabilities.


• The Group has available funds in the amount of 2,809 million euros at December 31, 2018 (2,484 million euros in 2017) (Note 3.8).
• Finance and similar expenses went from 186 million euros in 2017 to 155 million euros in 2018. This decrease is mainly due to the cancellation of the translation differences against financial result in 2017 due to the deconsolidation of GSP (8,248 thousands of euros) and also lower debt interest expenses because of the lower level of financial debt (Notes 3.5).
• Finance income and similar income went from 102 million euros in 2017 to 66 million euros in 2018. This decrease is mainly due to the full consolidation of Quintero from January 1, 2017 (restatement of the prior interest held and cancellation of translation differences) (Note 3.5).
• The Group arranges cash-flow hedges, fair value hedges, and net investment hedges. At December 31, 2018, the net fair value of the Group's derivatives, including assets and liabilities derivatives, was 43 million euros of liabilities (24 million euros of liabilities at December 31, 2017) (Note 3.6).

At 2018 and 2017 year-end, the Company's share capital amounted to 358,101 thousands of euros, represented by 238,734,260 shares with a nominal value of 1.5 euros each, all of the same class, fully subscribed, and paid in.
All shares of the parent company Enagás, S.A. are listed on the four official Spanish Stock Exchanges and are traded on the continuous market. At the closing of December 31, 2018 the quoted share price was 23.61 euros, having reached a maximum of 25.71 euros per share on December 14.
It is worth noting that, subsequent to publication of Additional Provision 31 of Hydrocarbon Sector Law 34/1998, in force since enactment of Law 12/2011, of May 27,"no natural or legal person can participate directly or indirectly in the shareholder structure of Enagás, S.A with a stake exceeding 5% of share capital, nor exercise political rights in said parent company exceeding 3%. These shares cannot be syndicated under any circumstances." Furthermore, "any party operating within the gas sector, including natural persons or legal entities that directly or indirectly own equity holdings in the former of more than 5%, may not exercise voting rights over 1%. Said limitations shall not be applicable to direct or indirect interest held by the public corporate sector."
At December 31, 2018 and 2017 the most significant shareholdings in the share capital of Enagás, S.A. were as follows (from the information published by the National Securities Market Commission (CNMV in Spanish) (1) at December 31, 2018):

(2) At December 31, 2018, both Lazard Asset Management and Fidelity International Limited held no significant stake in the share capital of Enagás, S.A.
On May 25, 2016, Enagás, S.A. finalized the process for acquiring 307,643 treasury shares for an amount of 8,219 thousands of euros (including related expenses amounting to 8 thousands of euros) and representing 0.13% of the entire Group share capital. This acquisition took place within the framework of the "Temporary Treasury Shares Buy-Back Scheme", whose exclusive aim was to meet the obligations of delivering shares to the Executive Directors and members of the Enagás Group management team under the current remuneration scheme according to the terms and conditions of the 2016–2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan and Remuneration Policy approved at the General Shareholders' Meeting on March 18, 2016. The shares were purchased in compliance with the conditions set out in Article 5 of Regulation EC/2273/2003 and subject to the terms authorised at the General Meeting of Shareholders held on March 18, 2016. Management of the Temporary Treasury Share Buy-Back Scheme was entrusted to Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (BBVA), which carried out the transaction on behalf of Enagás, S.A. independently and without exercising influence on the process (Note 4.4).
There were no more acquisitions or disposals of treasury shares during 2018.
The Spanish Corporate Enterprises Act stipulates that 10% of profit for the year must be transferred to the legal reserve until it represents at least 20% of share capital. At 2018 and 2017 yearend, the legal reserve was fully allocated and totalled 71,620 thousands of euros.
The legal reserve can be used to increase capital by the amount exceeding 10% of the new capital after the increase. Except for this purpose, until the legal reserve exceeds the limit of 20% of capital, it can only be used to compensate losses provided there are no other reserves available.
In 2018, a positive reserve was recognized amounting to 2,176 thousands of euros as a consequence of the initial application of new accounting standards (Note 1.10).
In 2018 the Put option on Enagás Transporte del Norte, S.L. was recognized with a charge to reserves for 15,600 thousands of euros (Note 3.4.d).

At December 27, 2018 following fulfilment of the preceding conditions, TAP made the first provision of funds under the financing agreement signed by said company on November 30, 2018. The financing was subscribed with multilateral entities as well as with commercial entities that also have sections insured by three European Export Credit agencies. This first provision on the part of TAP under the financing agreement, meant a cash inflow of 415,187 thousands of euros for Enagás as a partial refund of the loans granted to TAP during recent years for the execution of the project.
"Other non-current financial assets" include an amount of 7,822 thousands of euros (4,478 thousands of euros at December 31, 2017) corresponding to the investment made by the Group in Economic Interest Groups (EIG) whose activity is the leasing of assets managed by another entity unrelated to the Group and which retains both the majority of profits as well as the risks related to the activities, with the Group only availing itself of the regulated tax incentives in Spanish legislation. The Company attributes the tax loss carry forwards generated by these EIGs against shares and taking into account the debt registered with the Tax Authorities, recognizing the corresponding financial income. The main change with respect to 2017 is due to the disbursement of pending contributions by Enagás Financiaciones during 2018.
This heading also includes the accounts receivable for the both the corporate guarantee granted in connection with GSP financial debt as well as the guarantee for full compliance with respect to the concession agreement, executed to the Enagás Group as a consequence of the GSP concession agreement being terminated. At December 31, 2018, the total amount to be recovered by GSP amounted to 408,285 thousands of euros (388,561 thousands of euros at December 31, 2017) relating to both the recovery of the financial investment in this company and the credit rights associated with the recovery of the guarantees executed against the Enagás Group as a result of the termination of the concession contract in GSP, both amounts being financially updated considering the recovery period on December 31, 2021.
In relation to the investment in Gasoducto Sur Peruano, S.A. (hereinafter 'GSP') on January 24, 2017, the General Directorate of Hydrocarbons of the Peruvian Government's Ministry of Energy and Mines (hereinafter the 'State of Peru') sent an official letter to GSP stating 'the termination of the concession agreement owing to causes attributable to the concession holder', in accordance with the terms of Clause 6.7 of the 'Improvements to the Energy Security of the Country and the Development of the Gasoducto Sur Peruano' (hereinafter "the Project") concession agreement, because the financial close had not been evidenced within the period established in the agreement (January 23, 2017), and proceeded to the immediate enforcement of the totality of the guarantee for full compliance given by GSP (262.5 million dollars), to ensure fulfilment of the obligations relating to the concession, which in the case of Enagás generated a payment of 65.6 million dollars. Also in January 2017, they paid bank financing sureties to Enagás amounting to 162 million dollars, including both debt principal and interests pending to be paid. In December 2017, the process for delivering the Concession Assets held by GSP was substantially completed with the Peruvian State assuming control over them.
As a result of the termination of the concession contract, the Peruvian State had the obligation to apply clause 20 of the Concession Contract, calculating the Net Carrying Amount (hereinafter NCA) of the Concession Assets, calling three auctions to award the Concession, with the auction result being to pay GSP the NCA, based on the opinion of the external and internal legal advisors of Enagás. With the amount that GSP would have received for the NCA of the Concession Assets, it would have been able to settle its obligations to third parties and, if possible, reimburse the capital contributions made by its shareholders, as explained in the Consolidated Annual Accounts of the Enagás Group for 2016 and 2017.
As a result of inaction by the State of Peru in relation to the aforementioned procedure, on December 19, 2017, Enagás notified the Peruvian State about the existence of a dispute relating to the investment in GSP with a view to reaching an

amicable agreement on the terms of article 9.1 of the Agreement for the Reciprocal Promotion and Protection of APPRI in Spanish signed by the Republic of Peru and the Kingdom of Spain. This notification represented the beginning of the six-month period for direct contact prior to initiating international arbitration in which the APPRI acts as the mechanism for recovering the investment in GSP.
Once the required six months of direct contact between Enagás and the Peruvian State had elapsed without reaching an amicable settlement of this dispute, on July 2, 2018, an application for the initiation of arbitration against the Peruvian State regarding its investment in GSP was filed with the CIADI.
Through this arbitration procedure, it is expected that the Peruvian State will reimburse Enagás for its investment in GSP, this being the mechanism by which the financial assets recorded in the balance sheet would be recovered. Thus, it is expected that the Arbitration Court that hears the arbitration procedure in the CIADI will uphold the arguments of Enagás, issuing an award recognizing that the Peruvian State has not protected Enagás' investment under the APPRI and, therefore, it must compensate it by paying it the value of that investment.
Currently, the procedure before the CIADI is in the phase of being constituted at the Arbitration Court. Once it has been established, the written and oral proceedings phase will begin, which is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2019.
The main argument of Enagás is that, if the Peruvian State had complied with its obligation under the Concession Contract, it would have calculated the NCA and organised the three auctions, which it was obliged to do, to award the Concession, and the proceeds of the auction would have been delivered to GSP, which would have applied the amount delivered to pay its creditors and return the capital to its shareholders. The origin of the cascade of payments is 100% of the NCA, as on January 24, 2018 a year had transpired without any announcement of auctions. The absence of an auction means that the legal advisors of Enagás believe that it should be considered that GSP would have received 100% of the NCA because it was deprived of the possibility of receiving it when the auctions were not convened. Therefore, starting from the NCA considered, a certain payments waterfall would have been applied.
Enagás considers that, taking into account the NCA of the Concession Assets determined by an independent expert, and also taking into account the payment waterfall as per the terms of the insolvency legislation, as well as the contracts between Enagás and the members of GSP relating to subordination and credit agreements, if the State had satisfied their obligations, and thus paid GSP, Enagás would have recovered its investment.
Regarding the NCA amount, on December 12, 2018, GSP and the Consortium Constructor Ductos del Sur (hereinafter CCDS), responsible for the construction of the GSP project, signed the termination of the lump-sum Turnkey-EPC contract for the engineering, procurement and construction of the transmission system of the Project signed between both parties. By virtue of said termination, and considering the value of the assets that could not be delivered to the Peruvian State, a new valuation by a firm of independent experts contracted by Enagás was made by December 2018, ascertaining an updated VCN value of 1,977 million dollars.
Taking into account this updated NCA, if the payment waterfall were to be applied to it as per the terms of the insolvency laws, the subordination and the assignment of credit agreements entered into by Enagás and its aforementioned partners in GSP, Enagás would recover the total value of its investment.
In relation to the aforementioned contracts of subordination of rights and assignment of credits, their effectiveness and form of application has been questioned successively by the partners of Enagás in GSP through different arbitration procedures. In this regard, the arbitrations filed by Odebrecht were withdrawn in December 2018, although Graña y Montero has submitted new claims and a new request for arbitration also in December 2018. With respect to these arbitration proceedings, the Peruvian legal advisors consider that, according to the arguments raised to date, the possibility of their effectiveness and application being different from that envisaged by Enagás is remote, considering that the aforementioned agreements are fully valid and applicable.
As regards the arbitration proceedings against the State of Peru, based on the conclusions determined by the external and internal legal advisers, the recoverability of the totality of the Enagás investment in GSP, consisting of receivables in relation to the aforementioned enforced guarantees to the total of 226,8 million dollars, interests of 1.8 million dollars, various invoices for professional services provided to the amount of 7.6 million dollars and the share capital contributed to GSP for the amount of 275.3 million dollars, is considered likely.
With regard to the recovery period, considering the time it takes to resolve a dispute of this complexity in international arbitration proceedings, the estimated date for the recovery of the investment made by Enagás in GSP is thought to be December 31, 2021 from the lodging of the request to the commencement of arbitration proceedings. Based on this, the amounts outlined in the preceding paragraph are recorded at their updated value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet dated December 31, 2018 for a total amount of 408,285 thousands of euros (388,561 thousands of euros at December 31, 2017).
On March 12, 2018, Law no. 30737 was published guaranteeing immediate payment to the Peruvian government to repair civil damage caused by corruption and related crimes". On May 9, 2018, Supreme Decree 096-2018-EF was published, enacting the regulations of the aforementioned law.
In accordance with Article 9 of Law no. 30737, legal persons and legal entities in the form of partnerships, consortiums and joint ventures who may have benefited from the awarding of contracts, or subsequent to it, jointly with persons who have been convicted or who may have acknowledged having committed crimes against the public administration, asset laundering or related crimes, or their equivalents against the State of Peru, in Peru or abroad are classified as Category 2, and therefore fall within its scope of application.
Even without evidence of a criminal conviction or a confession of the commission of crimes, as required under Article 9 of Law No. 30737, on 28 June 2018, the State of Peru classified Enagás Internacional on the 'List of Contracts and Subjects of Category 2 indicating the legal person or legal entity included under Section II of Law no.30737' in relation to the concession contract awarded to GSP. The application of the mentioned standard involves different measures such as setting up an escrow account, reporting information, the limitation of transfers to other countries or the preparation of a compliance programme.
According to different communications media in Peru and news items that have arisen during December 2018, the Odebrecht Group would have signed, in February 2019, a collaboration agreement with the Attorney General's Office of Peru in which the GSP project would not be included as one of the projects affected. As of today, there is still no evidence - or knowledge thereof -

that consistently or demonstrably relates GSP to corruption, so there would also be no reason to execute that escrow.
The total amount of the Trust, estimated at 50% of the total average net equity, corresponding to its participation in GSP, will be communicated by the Ministry of Justice, given that the amount is estimated to be less than 65 million dollars. Currently, the Ministry of Justice has been notified of the necessary information for the calculation of the estimated amount, which to date is pending confirmation for subsequent formalization of the escrow.
Moreover, Law no. 30737 also imposes a ban on companies included on the list from making transfers outside of Peru, which, based on the conclusions of the external and internal legal advisers, would only be applicable to investment in GSP, notwithstanding a restriction on dividends to pay for the COGA and TGP societies, also considering that investment in the latter is protected by the Legal Stability Agreement in Peru.
In light of the above, the Enagás Group believes that these regulation do not have a negative effect on the recovery of accounts receivable through the arbitration process indicated above.
Notwithstanding the above comments on the Effective Collaboration Agreement signed by Odebrecht and the Public Prosecutor of Peru, regarding the actions of the Office of the Prosecutor of the Nation of Peru on the investigation of Odebrecht's activities in Peru and other Investigations carried out by various bodies of the Peruvian Prosecutor's Office for alleged crimes that could somehow be related to the award of the project "Improvements to the country's energy security and development of the Southern Peru Gas Pipeline", there have been no developments to date and the situation described in Note 1.6 of the Annual Accounts of the Enagás Group for the year 2017 remains the same. In that note the existence of two ongoing investigations was recorded: the first signed with File 321-2014, relating to aggravated collusion between a former Odebrecht employee and a public official, whose stage of control and
disencumbrance was rendered ineffective until the Supreme Court's ruling on the appeal filed Ad Hoc by the Prosecutor's Office of Peru to include one of Odebrecht's subsidiaries as a third-party civilian. In this phase it is expected to decide on the opening of oral proceedings, during the second half of 2019.
Based on the opinions of Enagás external advisors of Peruvian criminal code, the possibility of sentencing Odebrecht's former employee is considered to be remote. In this same case, the preparatory investigative court has declared the incorporation of GSP as a liable third party as wrongful. The second investigation underway, identified by File 12-2017, is in its preliminary stage at the level of the Attorney General's office and involves investigation of an Enagás employee. Based on the opinions of our external legal advisors for the Peruvian criminal code, there are no indications that these investigations may conclude negatively for Enagás.
Based on all of the above, the directors of Enagás, in line with the opinion of their external and internal legal advisers, and of an independent expert and independent expert accountant, consider these facts to have no bearing on the estimation for recovery of the investment in the stake in GSP and the previously mentioned receivables to the amount of 408,285 thousands of euros (388,561 thousands of euros at December 31, 2017).
During financial year 2018, the group recorded, in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 9, the impact resulting from analysis of the expected loss due to loans granted to group companies consolidated using the equity method and that are not, therefore, eliminated in the consolidation process. At December 31, 2018 this amount was 124 thousands of euros.
Furthermore, and except for the recording of the expected loss, as per IFRS 9, during the first twelve months of 2018, there were no additional movements with respect to the provisions which cover impairment losses of assets held by the Group.

(1) Financial income derived from the sale of the Swedegas Group in November 2018 (Note 1.5).
(2) As of December 31, 2018, 2,774 thousands of euros are included in the expense derived from the financial discount effect of the credit recorded for the recovery of the guarantees provided by the Company for GSP (16,919 thousands of euros as of December 31, 2017), with the estimated date of recovery considered to be December 31, 2021. In addition, at December 31, 2017 a financial expense is also included in the amount of 8,248 thousands of euros due to the cancellation of translation differences against financial results, as a consequence of excluding GSP from the consolidation scope.
(3) The change with respect to 2017 is mainly due to the consolidation of GNL Quintero under the full consolidation method from January 1, 2017 (restatement of previous interest held in the company and cancellation of translation differences) (Note 1.11).

These instruments hedge against changes in the fair value of an asset or liability recognized, or a specific portion of said asset or liability, which can be attributed to a particular risk and can affect profit for the period.
Changes in the fair value of a hedging instrument and changes in the fair value of hedged items attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in the Consolidated Income Statement.
b) Cash flow hedges
Hedges for exposure to changes in cash flows that: (i) are attributed to a specific risk associated with an asset or liability recognized for accounting purposes, with a highly likely expected transaction or with a firm commitment if he hedged risk is an exchange rate and (ii) may affect profit for the period.
The effective portion of the changes in fair value of the hedging instrument are recognized under Equity, and the gains and losses relating to the ineffective portion are recognized in the Consolidated Income Statement. The accumulated amounts under Equity are transferred to the Consolidated Income Statement in the periods in which the hedged items affect the Consolidated Income Statement.
c) Net investment coverage in a foreign operation
These instruments hedge the foreign currency risk arising from net investments in foreign operations.
The hedges for net investments in transactions carried out abroad are accounted for in a similar manner to cash flow
hedges, though the valuation changes in these transactions are accounted for as translation differences under "Adjustments for changes in value" in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.
These translation differences are taken to the Consolidated Income Statement when the gain or loss on disposal of the hedged item occurs.
• In order for these derivative financial instruments to be classified as hedges they are initially designated as such, and the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged items is documented, together with the risk management objective and the hedge strategy for the various hedged transactions. In addition, the Group verifies initially and then periodically throughout the life of the hedge (and at least at the end of each reporting period) that the hedging relationship is effective, i.e., that it is prospectively foreseeable that the changes in fair value or in the cash flows from the hedged item (attributable to hedged risk) are almost entirely offset by those of hedging instrument.
Any remaining loss or gain from the hedging instrument will represent an ineffectiveness of the hedge to be recognized in income of the period.
• The Group determined that the majority of inputs employed for determining the fair value of derivative financial instruments are classified as Level 2; however, the adjustments to credit risk use inputs corresponding to Level 3 for assessing credit based on credit ratings or comparable companies for evaluating the probability of a company
or counterparties to the company going bankrupt. The Group evaluated the relevancy of the inputs and recognized the corresponding adjustments to credit risk for the evaluation of the derivative financial instrument, which were not significant.
• Thus, the entire portfolio of derivative financial instruments is classified under Level 2 of the hierarchy.

During 2009, the Enagás Group contracted a cross currency swap (CCS) to cover changes in the fair value of a yen-denominated bond arising from euro-yen exchange rate risk and the related interest rate risk. The fixed yen (JPY) component of this CCS covers changes in the value of the bond with respect to the specified risks. Said bond is recognized under "Non-current financial liabilities" in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
At the initiation date of the CCS, the principal exchange was carried out so that Enagás received 147,514 thousands of euros and paid 20,000 million JPY, with the Group recognizing said item at fair value through profit and loss in the Consolidated Income Statement. Likewise, Enagás will receive interest at a fixed rate in JPY and pay six-month Euribor until maturity. When the contract
matures, Enagás will receive the principal in JPY and will return the principal in euros.
The changes in fair value experienced by the hedging instrument as well as the changes in the value of the hedged instrument are broken down as follows:

The Enagás Group is exposed to certain risks which it manages with a risk control and management model which is directed towards guaranteeing achievement of the Company's objectives in a predictable manner with a medium-low risk profile. This model allows you to adapt to the complexity of your business activity in a globalised competitive environment, in a complex economic context, where the materialization of risks is faster and with an evident contagious effect.
The model is based on the following:
The integral analysis of all risk permits the appropriate control and management thereof, an understanding of the relationships between them and facilitates their joint assessment. Enagás has established a regulatory framework through its "Risk control and management policy" and "General risk control and management standards," which define the basic principles to be applied and identify the responsibilities of the different departments of the Company.
As explained in Note 3.7 below, the Enagás Group directly finances part of the foreign investments with foreign currency, which is then designated as a net foreign investment.
By this means, the Enagás Group tries to designate exchange rate hedges to cover fluctuations in the exchange rates of its investments in foreign currency. As required by IFRS 9, an eligible hedged item and hedging instrument have to be designated. By this means, the exchange fluctuations of the investment in foreign currency are associated with the fluctuations due to the debt obtained to finance the acquisition, which is also in that currency (Note 3.7), in such a way that there is no impact on the income statement.
The risk control and management function is articulated around three lines of defence, each presenting different responsibilities:
The Governing Bodies responsible for risk control and management are the following:
The main risks of a financial and tax nature to which the Group is exposed are as follows:
Credit risk relates to the possible losses arising from the nonpayment of monetary or quantifiable obligations of a counterparty to which the Enagás Group has granted net credit which is pending settlement or collection.
Credit risk in connection with trade receivables arising from its commercial activity is historically very limited as the Group operates in a regulated environment (Note 1.1). However, regulations have been developed establishing standards for managing guarantees in the Spanish gas system and which oblige gas supply companies to provide guarantees for: (i) contracting capacity in infrastructure with regulated third-party access and international connections, (ii) settlement of imbalances; and (iii) participation in the organized gas market.
The Enagás Group is also exposed to the risk of its counterparties not complying with obligations in connection with financial derivatives and placement of surplus cash balances. In order to mitigate this risk, these transactions are carried out in a diversified manner with highly solvent entities.
Interest rate fluctuations affect the fair value of those assets and liabilities that accrue interest at fixed rates, and the future cash flows from assets and liabilities that accrue interest at floating rates.
The objective of interest rate risk management is to create a balanced debt structure that minimizes financial costs over a multi-year period while also reducing volatility in the Consolidated Income Statement.
Based on the Enagás Group's estimates and debt structure targets, hedges are put in place using derivatives that reduce these risks (Note 3.6).
Exchange rate fluctuations may affect positions held with regard to debt denominated in foreign currency, certain payments for services and the purchase of capital goods in foreign currency, income and expenses relating to companies whose functional currency is not the euro and the effect of converting the financial statements of those companies whose currency is not the euro during the consolidation process. With a view to mitigating said risk, the Group can avail itself of financing obtained in US dollars and Swedish kronas, as well as contracting derivative financial instruments which are subsequently designated as hedging instruments (Note 3.6). In addition, the Enagás Group tries to balance the cash flows of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency in each of its companies.
Liquidity risk arises as a consequence of differences in the amounts or payment and collection dates relating to the different assets and liabilities held by the Group.
The liquidity policy followed by the Enagás Group is oriented towards ensuring that all short-term payment commitments acquired are fully met without having to secure funds under burdensome terms. For this purpose, different management measures are taken such as maintenance of credit facilities ensuring flexibility, sufficient amounts and sufficient maturities, diversified sourcing for financing needs via access to different
markets and geographical areas, as well as the diversification of maturities in debt issued.
The financial debt of the Group at December 31, 2018 has an average maturity of 6.1 years (6.8 years at December 31, 2017 (Note 3.4).
The Enagás Group is exposed to possible modifications in tax regulatory frameworks and uncertainty relating to different possible interpretations of prevailing tax legislation, potentially leading to negative effects on results.
Given the dynamic nature of the business and its risks, and despite having a risk management and control system that responds to the best international recommendations and practices, it is not possible to guarantee that some risk may exist that is not identified in the risk inventory of the Enagás Group.
In addition, the internationalization process carried out by the Enagás Group in recent years means that a part of its operations are carried out by companies over which it does not exercise control and which perform their activities within different regulatory frameworks and with different business dynamics, so that potential risks may arise relating to financial investment.
The percentage of net debt at fixed interest rates at December 31, 2018 and 2017, amounted to more than 80%.
Taking into account these percentages of net financial debt at fixed rates, and after performing a sensitivity analysis using a range of +1/-1% changes in market interest rates, the Group considers that, according to its estimates, the impact on results of such variations on financial costs relating to variable rate debt could be as follows:
| Interest rate change | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2018 | 2017 | ||||
| 25 bps | -10 bps | 25 bps | -10 bps | ||
| Change in financial costs | 2,328 | (931) | 2,709 | (1,083) |
In addition, the aforementioned changes would not produce any significant changes in the Company's equity position in connection with contracted derivatives.
The Enagás Group mainly obtains its financing in euros, though certain financing is also obtained in US dollars, Japanese yen and Swedish kronas. The currency exposed to the greatest variations in its exchange rate is the US dollar, given that financing in yen is hedged via the use of exchange rate hedges (Note 3.6).
The exposure of the Group to changes in the US dollar/ euro exchange rate is mainly determined by the effect of translating the financial statements of the companies whose functional currency is the US dollar. In addition, there are Group companies whose functional currency is the Peruvian nuevo sol and Swedish krona.
Further, the Group also holds loans denominated in US dollars granted by Enagás, S.A. to companies in which it does not control a majority stake.

The sensitivity of profit/(loss) for the year and equity to exchange rate risk, via appreciation or depreciation of exchange rates and based on the financial instruments held by the Group at December 31, 2018, is shown below:
| Thousands of euros | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Appreciation / (Depreciation) of the euro against the dollar |
||||
| 2018 | 2017 | |||
| 5.00% | 5.00% | 5.00% | -5.00% | |
| Effect on net profit | 3,347 | (3,347) | 3,779 | (3,779) |
| Effect on equity | 25,005 | (25,005) | 22,078 | (22,078) |
The Company carries out capital management at corporate level and its objectives are to ensure financial stability and obtain sufficient financing for investments, optimizing the cost of capital in order to maximize the value created for the shareholder while maintaining its commitment to solvency.
• Under this heading of the Consolidated Balance Sheet the Group recognizes cash in hand, sight deposits, and other highly liquid short-term investments that can be readily converted into cash and are not exposed to the risk of changes in value.
| 12.31.2018 | 12.31.2017 | |
|---|---|---|
| Treasury | 1,171,543 | 627,864 |
| Total | 1,171,543 | 627,864 |
"Other liquid assets" includes those deposits that have a maturity of less than three months.
Generally, the banked cash accrues interest at rates similar to daily market rates. The deposits maturing in the short term are easily convertible into cash, and accrue interest at the going market rates. There are no significant restrictions on the availability of cash and bank balances.
The Enagás Group uses its leverage ratio as an indicator for monitoring its financial situation and capital management. The ratio is defined as the result of dividing consolidated net financial debt by net consolidated assets (understood as the sum of net financial debt and consolidated shareholders equity).
The Group's financial leverage, calculated as the ratio of net financial debt and total financial debt plus shareholders' equity at December 31, 2018 and 2017, is as follows:
| 2018 | 2017 | |
|---|---|---|
| Net financial debt (Note 3.4) | 4,274,653 | 5,007,703 |
| Shareholders' equity | 2,658,758 | 2,585,639 |
| Financial leverage | 61.7% | 65.9% |
The credit rating agency Standard & Poor's maintained the longterm "A-" rating it issued for Enagás, S.A. with a negative outlook at December 31, 2018. In contrast, another credit rating agency, Fitch Ratings, continued to issue an "A-" rating at December 31, 2018 with a stable outlook.
In order to guarantee liquidity, the Enagás Group has arranged loans and credit lines which it has not drawn down. Thus, liquidity available to the Enagás Group is broken down as follows:
| Available funds | 12.31.2018 | 12.31.2017 |
|---|---|---|
| Cash and cash equivalents | 1,171,543 | 627,864 |
| Other available funds (Note 3.4) | 1,637,786 | 1,856,393 |
| Total available funds | 2,809,329 | 2,484,257 |
In the opinion of the Directors of the Company, this situation allows for sufficient funding to meet possible liquidity requirements in the short term considering its current obligations.

At December 31, 2018, Jones Lang LaSalle España, S.A. issued a valuation report dated December 31, 2018, which concluded that the recoverable amount of the plot at that date amounted to 19,610 thousands of euros (19,610 thousands of euros in 2017). It is worth noting that the aforementioned independent expert's report did not include any scope limitations with respect to the conclusions reached. There are no mortgages or encumbrances of any type on said property. In addition, the Group has contracted the corresponding insurance policies to cover third party civil liabilities.

Enagás S.A. has been the parent company of the Tax Consolidation Group 493/12 for Corporate Income tax from January 1, 2013, comprised of the following subsidiaries at December 31, 2018:
The Group's remaining companies file individual income tax returns in conformity with the applicable tax laws.

(1) The permanent differences mainly correspond to the elimination of the results of companies consolidated under the equity method, as well as other consolidation adjustments relating to the reconciliation of Spanish GAAP and IFRS.
(2) In order to determine income tax, a 25% rate was applied to all Spanish companies, except for those that file tax returns under the special regime of Vizcaya (Enagás Transporte del Norte, S.L) where a 26% rate is applied (28% for the year 2017). For 2017, the tax rates applicable to the foreign companies Enagás Perú, S.A.C.; Enagás Chile and S.P.A. GNL Quintero and Enagás México, S.A. de C.V. were 29.5%, 25.5%, and 30%, respectively, while for 2018 they were 28%, 27%, and 30%.
(3) In 2018, 105,978.81 thousands of euros were paid (102,245.14 thousands of euros in 2017) in connection with the amount to be disbursed for settling 2018 corporate income tax, of which 99,819 thousands of euros correspond to the Tax Consolidation Group (96,264 thousands of euros in 2017).

In accordance with prevailing legislation in Spain, tax returns cannot be considered final until they have been inspected by the tax authorities or until the four-year inspection period has elapsed. However, the four-year period can vary in the case of Group companies subject to other fiscal regulations.
In March 2017 a tax inspection was initiated by the Spanish Tax Authorities for general verification of Enagás, S.A., Enagás Transporte, S.A.U., and the Tax Consolidation Group 0493/12. The financial years and taxes subject to verification are Corporation Tax, financial years 2012 to 2015, Value Added Tax, financial years 2013 to 2015, withholdings and income on account of income from work, investment income, real estate capital and non-residents, financial years 2013 to 2015.
Additionally, in 2018 Enagás Transporte S.A.U. was notified by the Spanish Tax Authorities that a general tax inspection was being initiated with respect to the hydrocarbons tax corresponding to 2015 and 2016. Also, notification was received regarding the
initiation of a partial verification with respect to VAT on imports and inspection of importation rights corresponding to 2016.
At 2018 year-end the verification and inspection processes were still ongoing. At any rate, the Group does not expect any additional liabilities to arise, other than those already recognized, which may significantly affect its equity statement as a consequence of said verification and inspection processes.

The Banco Santander Group qualifies as a related party for the years 2018 and 2017.
Of the transactions disclosed in the above table, 11,238 thousands of euros of financial expenses correspond to this entity during 2018 (8,679 thousands of euros during 2017), including financial expenses arising out of the interest rate hedging contracts, and 14,158 thousands of euros in guarantees and sureties granted at December 31, 2018 (130,212 thousands of euros at December 31, 2017).
In addition, this banking entity carried out the following transactions with the Enagás Group:
estimated at less than one year, when the associated provision is reclassified to the Personnel line under "Trade and other payables" of the liability of the accompanying Balance Sheet. The liability is subsequently measured at fair value at each balance sheet date, up to and including the settlement date, with changes in fair value recognized in the income statement.
The Enagás Group used the Monte-Carlo model to evaluate this program. The fair value of the equity instruments at the granting date is adjusted to include the market conditions relating to this plan. Likewise, the Company takes into account the fact that the dividends accrued during the plan period are not paid to the beneficiaries as they do not become shareholders of the Company until the plan has effectively been settled.

On March 18, 2016, the Enagás, S.A. General Shareholders' Meeting approved a Long-Term Incentive Plan aimed at executive directors and senior management of the Company and its Group, with a view to maximizing motivation and loyalty as well as promoting the good results achieved by the Enagás Group, aligning its interests with the long-term value of shareholders.
The plan consists of an extraordinary mixed multi-year incentive which will permit the beneficiaries to receive, after a certain period of time, a bonus payable in (i) Enagás, S.A. shares and (ii) cash; provided that certain strategic objectives of the Enagás Group are met.
With respect to the portion payable in shares, the total number to be delivered will be 307,643 shares. The cash part of the plan is limited to an estimated maximum payment of approximately 2.5 million euros should all the objectives be fully met.
The part payable in shares in Enagás, S.A. accrued in 2018 is included in the Consolidated Income Statement, under the heading "Personnel Expenses", in the amount of 1,936 thousands of euros (2,206 thousands of euros in 2017), with a credit to "Other equity instruments" in the Consolidated Equity at December 31, 2018.
Likewise, and for the cash incentive part, the Company has recorded the provision of services corresponding to this incentive as a personnel expense in the Income Statement as of December 31, 2018 in the amount of 129 thousands of euros with payment to the Personnel line under "Trade and other payables" of the current liability of the accompanying Balance Sheet, since its settlement is estimated at a time prior to the year. At December 31, 2018, the amount corresponding to this item amounts to 393 thousands of euros (264 thousands of euros at December 31, 2017, which were recorded in the "Long-term provisions" caption). As for that part of the plan payable in shares, the Enagás Group estimates the fair value of the amount payable in cash on an accrual basis over the plan period (January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2018) plus the loyalty period of approximately four months for full disbursement.
At December 31, 2018, the estimate is made assuming that all the objectives relating to the plan have been 98.03% achieved.

There are no activities of the same, similar or complementary nature to those carried out by Enagás which are performed by its Board members, on their own behalf or on behalf of third parties, not included in the above section.
At 2018 year-end, neither the members of the Board of Directors of the Company nor any parties related to them, as defined in article 229 of the Corporate Enterprises Act, had notified the remaining Board members of any conflicts of interest, direct or indirect, with those of the Company.
Activities for protection of the environment and biodiversity, energy efficiency, reduction in emissions, and the responsible consumption of resources are essential elements in the Enagás Group's environmental management to mitigate the impact of its activities.
The Group has integrated protection of the environment within its policy and strategic programs via implementation of an Environmental Management System developed and certified by LLOYD'S, in accordance with the requisites of standard UNE EN ISO 14001, which guarantees compliance with applicable environmental legislation and continuous improvement of its environmental behaviour with respect to the activities it carries out in the LNG storage and regasification plants of Barcelona, Cartagena and Huelva, the underground storage facilities of Serrablo, Gaviota, and Yela, the basic gas pipeline network facilities, the Olmos headquarters, the Zaragoza laboratory, and management of development projects for new infrastructure.
In 2018, the certifying company LLOYD'S issued the corresponding audit report on the Environmental Management System with favourable results, concluding that the system's maturity and degree of development ensure continuous improvement for the Company in this field.
The Enagás Group makes ongoing efforts to identify, characterize, and minimize the environmental impact of its activities and installations, evaluating the related risks and strengthening ecoefficiency, responsible management of waste and discharges, minimizing the impact in terms of emissions and climate change.
In addition, the Group incorporates environmental criteria in its relationship with suppliers and contractors, as well as in connection with decision-making with respect to the awarding of contracts for the provision of services and products.
During 2018, environmental actions were carried out in the amount of 4,009 thousands of euros, recognized as investments under assets in the Balance Sheet (5,288 thousands of euros in 2017). The Company also assumed environmental expenses amounting to 2,325 thousands of euros in 2018, recognized under "Other operating expenses" (2,422 thousands of euros in 2017).

The Group has arranged sufficient civil liability insurance to meet any possible contingencies, compensation and other risks of an environmental nature which it might incur.
The Group did not benefit from any tax incentives during 2018 as a consequence of activities relating to the environment.
Some of the Enagás Group's installations are included within the scope of Law 1/2005 of March 9, which regulates the commercial regime for greenhouse gas emission rights.
On November 15, 2013, the Council of Ministers approved the final assignation of free greenhouse gas emission rights to institutions subject to the greenhouse gas emission allowance trading regime for the period 2013-2020, amongst which the Enagás Transporte, S.A.U. facilities are included.
The total free rights assigned definitively to the Enagás Group's facilities amounted to 985,915 rights for the 2013-2020 period, with 70,320 corresponding to 2018 and 69,877 to 2017.
"Other operating expenses" includes the fees for audit and nonaudit services provided by the auditor of the Group, Ernst & Young, S.L., or by a company belonging to the same network or related to the auditor, broken down as follows:
Within the Group, the rights assigned for 2018 and 2017, were valued at 7.57 euros/right and 6.11 euros/right, respectively, corresponding to the spot price of the first business day in 2018 and 2017 from RWE Trading GMBH, which represents additions during the period amounting to 630 thousands of euros (329 thousands of euros in 2017).
The Enagás Group consumed 163,473 greenhouse gas emission rights during 2018 while 158,910 rights were consumed during 2017.
During 2018 the Enagás Group did not engage in any negotiations for future contracts relating to greenhouse gas emission rights, nor were there any contingencies relating to penalties or provisional cautionary measures in the terms established by Law 1/2005.

• Segment reporting is structured based on the Group's various business lines as described in Note 1.1.
The Group identifies its operating segments based on internal reports relating to the companies comprising the Group which are regularly reviewed, discussed, and evaluated in the decision-making process.
Gas transmission: Represents the main activity, consisting in the delivery of gas via its transmission network, comprised of primary transmission pipelines (with maximum design pressure equal to or greater than 60 bars) and secondary transmission pipelines (with maximum design pressure ranging from 16 to 60 bars) up to the distribution points, as owner of most of the gas transmission network in Spain.
Regasification: The gas is transported from the producing countries in methane tankers at 160ºC below zero in its liquid state (LNG) and is unloaded at the regasification plants where it is stored in cryogenic tanks. At these facilities, via a physical process which normally makes use of seawater vaporizers, the temperature of the liquefied gas is increased until it is transformed into its gaseous state. The natural gas is injected into the gas pipelines for transmission to the whole peninsula.
Storage of gas: The Enagás Group operates the following underground storage facilities: Serrablo (located between Jaca and Sabiñánigo - Huesca), Gaviota (offshore storage, located close to Bermeo - Vizcaya), and Yela (Guadalajara).
The Enagás Group continued carrying out its functions as Technical Systems Manager in 2018 in compliance with Royal Decree 6/2000 of June 23 and Royal Decree 949/2001 of August 3, with a view to guaranteeing supply continuity and safety, as well as the correct coordination amongst the access, storage, transportation, and distribution points.
All non-regulated activities, as well as transactions related to investments in associates and joint ventures, except those corresponding to BBG, Saggas, MIBGAS and Iniciativas del Gas, S.L.
The above activities can be carried out by Enagás, S.A. itself or through companies with an identical or analogous corporate purpose in which it holds interest, provided they remain within the scope and limitations established by legislation applicable to the hydrocarbons sector. In accordance with said legislation, the activities related to transmission and technical management of the system which are of a regulated nature must be carried out by two subsidiaries entirely owned by Enagás, S.A. (Enagás Transporte, S.A.U. and Enagás GTS, S.A.U., respectively).
The structure of this information is designed as if each business line were an autonomous business and had independent own resources distributed based on the assets assigned to each line in accordance with an internal cost distribution system by percentages.

The majority of companies in the Enagás Group operating outside Europe were consolidated under the equity method, with the corresponding expenses and income thus recognized under "Profit/(loss) from investments consolidated under the equity method" in the Consolidated Income Statement. In view of this, the information relating to geographical markets is based on net revenue.
The distribution of consolidated results for 2018 and 2017, broken down by geographical markets, is as follows:


As established in Order IET/2736/2015 of December 17: "From October 1, 2016, the quantity of working gas is zero." At December 31, 2015, the Enagás Group, as Technical Manager of the System, maintained control of approximately 755 GWh of working gas necessary for enabling operation of the gas system as established in the fifth additional provision to Order ITC/3863/2007 of December 28. This gas is not reflected in the financial statements as it is gas available for the System and therefore not owned by the Enagás Group.
On December 19, 2018, it was decided to extend the corporate purpose of GNL Quintero, S.A. in order to adopt a growth strategy for this company. In particular, certain activities have been incorporated into the corporate purpose of GNL Quintero, S.A. The most important concerns the power to develop or invest in businesses related to unloading terminals, storage, regasification and delivery of Natural Gas and LNG, and other types of infrastructure associated with natural gas.
In relation to this change, on February 15, 2019, the agreements that govern Terminal Bahía de Quintero, SpA. were adapted to conform to this business situation.
The foregoing entails the interest in this company becoming accounted for through the equity method from February 15, 2019, as the relevant unilateral decisions cannot be adopted by Enagás, without expecting significant effects on the net revenue.
On 22 February 2019, the Board of Directors, upon the report from the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, approved the proposal of a Long-Term Bonus plan for 2019 to 2021 to the General Shareholders' Meeting, scheduled for 29 March 2019, for its approval. The proposed plan consists of an extraordinary, multi-year and mixed bonus, payable in cash and shares in the company, linked to the achievement of strategic objectives, aligning the interests of the beneficiaries of the Plan with the achievement of value in the long-term for shareholders. The Plan may not exceed the delivery of as total of 501,946 shares.
In the case that the Bonus Plan is approved by the General Shareholders' Meeting, the basic characteristics of which shall be the object of development in its corresponding rules, which must also be approved by the Board of Directors.
Since 1 January 2019 and the date on which these Consolidated Annual Accounts were drawn up, no other events have occurred that would significantly affect the profit (loss) of the Group or its equity.

These financial statements are presented on the basis of the regulatory financial reporting framework applicable to the Company in Spain (note 1.2). Certain accounting practices applied by the Company that conform with that regulatory framework may not conform with other generally accepted accounting principles and rules.

The regulatory framework applicable from 2002, based on Law 34/1998 of October 7, of the Hydrocarbons Sector, and later developments of said law, was updated subsequent to Royal Decree Law 8/2014 of July 4 becoming effective, approved by Parliament and subsequently passing into legislation, finally published as Law 18/2014 of October 15, on approving urgent measures for growth, competitiveness, and efficiency.
The basic principles of this new framework, which is applied to the remuneration period in force until 2020, are as follows:
• The principle of economic and financial sustainability of the gas system is established as a guiding principle for actions conducted by Public Administrations and other subjects participating in the gas system. By virtue of said principle, any regulatory measure with respect to the sector which involves an increased cost for the gas system or a reduction of income must incorporate an equivalent reduction in other cost items or an equivalent increase in income which ensures equilibrium in the system. In this manner, the possibility of deficits accumulating is definitively eliminated.
This principle is reinforced with the establishment of restrictions relating to the appearance of temporary annual imbalances, establishing a rebalancing mechanism via the obligation for automatic reviews of the corresponding tolls and royalties if certain limits are exceeded. The limits introduced allow for overruns provoked by temporary circumstances or the volatility for gas demand, which can be reversed in the following period without any need to modify tolls and royalties, while at the same time guaranteeing that imbalances may not arise which put the financial stability of the system at risk.
The temporary mismatches which arise subsequent to the present Royal Decree Law becoming effective, without exceeding the aforementioned limits, will be financed by all participants in the settlement system based on the collection rights they generate.
This principle of economic and financial sustainability must be understood in such a manner that income collected in connection with use of the facilities can cover the totality of costs generated by the system. The regulated remuneration methodologies in the natural gas sector consider the necessary costs for a company to manage its activities well and efficiently in accordance with the principle for performing its activities at the lowest cost for the system.
• Regulatory periods of six years are fixed to establish the remuneration of regulated activities, providing regulatory stability for said activities. The first regulatory period terminates on December 31, 2020. From January 1, 2021, the subsequent consecutive regulatory periods will each last six years.
Should there be significant variations in terms of income and costs, adjustments can be made every three years with respect to the remuneration parameters of the system, such as the unit reference values relating to clients, sales, operation and maintenance costs, improved productivity factors, etc.. In any case, during the regulatory period, neither the financial remuneration rate nor the efficiency coefficient for productivity improvements can be modified.
The remuneration system for transportation, regasification, and storage installations was established under harmonized principles adapting the net carrying amount of the asset as a basis for calculating the remuneration on the investment. It also incorporates a variable remuneration based on the transmitted, regasified or stored gas, and the type of asset, with elimination of any procedure for automatic revision of values and remunerative parameters based on price indexes.
The methodology on which the current remuneration framework is based is the following:
• Remuneration is comprised of a fixed portion for availability of the facility and a variable portion for supply continuity. The fixed portion for availability includes operation and maintenance costs for each year, amortization and financial remuneration calculated by applying the annual net carrying amount of the investment and the financial remuneration rate determined for each regulatory period.
Inclusion of the variable portion for supply continuity in the remuneration for the facilities balances income and system costs by linking part of said costs to the changes in demand.
This portion is based on the total changes in domestic consumption of natural gas, excluding supply through satellite plants, with respect to the prior year in the case of transmission facilities, of the change in demand for regasified gas in all the plants operating in the system in the case of regasification facilities, and the change in useful gas held at the storage facilities, at November 1 of the corresponding year and including cushion gas mechanically extracted of the latter.
Remuneration for supply continuity is divided amongst all the facilities based on the weighting of their replacement value with respect to all facilities relating to the activity, calculating said values by applying the unit investment values prevailing for each year.
Once the regulatory useful life of the facilities has elapsed, and in those cases in which the asset remains operational, the operating and maintenance costs are established as fixed remuneration, increased by a coefficient based on the number of years by which the facility exceeds the regulatory useful life, not accruing any amounts as investment remuneration.
This cost is determined individually for each of the assets in production. This parameter compensates the investment and operating costs of the assets used for operating in the gas system.
b.1.1. Remuneration for investment costs is comprised of the following:
• Value of assets recognized. The amounts recognized for assets in the previous regulatory framework are maintained. For facilities commissioned before 2002, the corresponding amounts are calculated based on the carrying amounts of the assets once the accounting restatement of 1996 is taken into account (Royal Decree Law 7/1996), less grants received for the purpose of financing said assets, applying a restatement coefficient comprised of the adjusted average Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Industrial Price Index (IPI) to this difference.
For the new facilities put to use from 2002, the standard value of each investment as established by the regulator is used, while for those which require expansion, the real cost is used.

Given that for investments in underground storage facilities there are no standard values, they are also measured at real cost.
Transmission facilities put to use from 2008 are measured by taking the average of the standard value and real cost.
Regasification facilities put to use from 2006 are measured at real cost plus 50% of the difference between the standard value and said real cost, up to a maximum of the standard value.
• Remuneration for amortization of system assets. The value of the resulting amount recognized for the investment is amortized applying a rate corresponding to its useful life, obtaining the related income in this manner.
The new framework maintains the useful lives of the assets except for gas pipelines, which are attributed a useful life of 40 years for all facilities, regardless of when they were put to use.
In contrast, remuneration for operation and maintenance of the asset "i" each year "n" will be increased. In this manner, the value recognized will be the amount corresponding to it multiplied by a coefficient for increasing its useful life, μin.
This parameter will have the following values:
Where "X" is the number of years that the asset has exceeded its regulatory useful life. The parameter μin can never be greater than 2.
b.1.2. The remuneration for operating costs of the transmission and regasification assets is calculated by applying the operating unit costs of operation and maintenance in force, regardless of the start-up date of the fixed asset. For underground storage assets and for others for which the application of a singular system is
determined, operating costs are calculated based on the actual costs audited.
Remuneration for continuity of supply (RCS) is calculated as a whole for each of the activities: transmission, regasification, and underground storage.
The remuneration for this item in year "n" is in all cases calculated based on the remuneration for the previous year "n-1" multiplied by an efficiency factor and the change in demand.
The efficiency factor is set at a value of 0.97 for the first regulatory period and the changes in demand considered are the following:
Remuneration for continuity of supply which results for each activity in year "n" will be divided amongst each of the facilities "i" which remain in operation, based on a coefficient, αi, which results from dividing the replacement cost of facility "i" by the sum of the replacement costs for all facilities. This replacement cost is calculated based on the prevailing unit investment costs, except for singular facilities and underground storage, for which the investment value will be used.
This amount is determined based on the kWh actually regasified as well as the kWh loaded in LNG cisterns for each period and the variable unit value for regasification in the period considered. For the 2018 financial year, this cost was set at € 0.000162/kWh regasified and € 0.000194/kWh loaded in tanks, increased for each plant and service, for assets that have exceeded the regulatory useful life, for the coefficients of extension of useful life corresponding to them. These useful life extension coefficients were set for 2018 in article 13 of Order TEC/1367/2018 of 20 December. The following table shows these coefficients for each plant and service.
| Regasification | Truck loading |
Tanker reloading |
|||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Huelva | 1.07 | 1.06 | 1.00 | ||
| Cartagena | 1.00 | 1.06 | 1.00 | ||
| Barcelona | 1.03 | 1.27 | 1.00 |
For the LNG vessel loading services from regasification plants or cooling down vessels, a cost is recognized identical to the variable cost of truck loading. For ship-to-ship transfer the cost is 80% of said value.

Income from this activity is calculated annually based on the accredited cost for each year and is meant to repay the obligations of Enagás GTS, S.A.U. as Technical Manager of the System, which includes coordinating the development, operation, and maintenance of the transmission network, supervising the safety of natural gas supply (storage levels and emergency plans), carrying out plans for future development of gas infrastructure, and controlling third-party access to the network.
The fee assigned to the Technical Manager of the System for 2018 to be collected from companies that own regasification, transmission, storage, and natural gas distribution facilities as a percentage of billing for tolls and royalties associated with thirdparty access to the network amounts to 0.797%. This fee is paid into the CNMC account held for this purpose by said companies in instalments, as established in the settlement procedure.
The previous percentage over billing is calculated based on the result of applying maximum tolls and royalties to the amounts invoiced, without deducting possible discounts which may have been agreed upon by the owners and users of the facilities.
Without prejudice to the above, provisional remuneration recognized for the activity of the Technical Manager of the System in 2018 in accordance with ETU/1283/2017, of December 22, amounts to 23,966 thousands of euros.
The inter-monthly attribution of previous income to the Consolidated Income Statement is carried out on a straight-line basis.
The revenues collected from the application of tolls for third party access to gas facilities are exclusively used to support the remuneration of regulated activities for gas supply. On the other hand, since all the system costs of the gas system are financed by the revenues of the gas system, these must be sufficient to meet the overall costs of the gas system.
The tolls and fees are established so that their setting responds as a whole to the following principles:
In addition, tolls and fees will take into account the costs incurred by the use of the network in a way that optimizes the use of infrastructures and can be differentiated by pressure levels, consumption characteristics and duration of contracts.
In the same way as for the other years since the current regulatory period came into force, by 2018 the same pre-tax amounts of tolls and royalties for the use of network facilities have been applied for the basic network for secondary transmission and distribution of natural gas that were set in Order IET/2446/2013, of December 27.
The billing and collection of the remuneration of regulated activities are subject to the settlement procedure established through Ministerial Order ECO/2692/2002, of October 28, which regulates procedures for the settlement of the remuneration of regulated activities and establishes the information system that companies must present.
It is understood that there are annual mismatches between revenues and costs of the gas system if the difference between income and the payable costs of a financial year results in a negative amount.
Royal Decree Law 8/2014, of July 4, and Law 18/2014, of October 15, establish the principle of economic and financial sustainability in the gas system. In accordance with this principle, the system income will exclusively be dedicated to sustaining remuneration corresponding to regulated activities relating to gas supply. Further, this income must be sufficient to satisfy the totality of costs incurred by the gas system. In addition, in order to ensure economic sufficiency and avoid the appearance of new deficits ex ante, all regulatory measures relating to the gas system which involve an increase in costs for the system or a reduction of income must incorporate an equivalent reduction in other cost items or an equivalent increase in income which ensures equilibrium for the system.
In addition, the current remuneration framework establishes a specific methodology for resolving temporary imbalances between revenues and costs of the system, with a series of measures aimed at definitively ending the deficit of the gas system, such as:
The methodology established in articles 61 and 66 of Law 18/2014 distinguishes between the accumulated deficit at December 31, 2014 and the deficit which may be generated in subsequent years, so that:
• The targets of the settlement system will be entitled to recover the annual payments corresponding to the accumulated deficit of the gas system at December 31, 2014 in the payments corresponding to the fifteen years following the date of approval of the final settlement of that financial year, recognizing an interest rate in conditions equivalent to those of the market.
Definitive settlement in 2014 was approved by the Regulatory Oversight Chamber of the CNMC in its session held on November 24, 2016, recognizing 1,025,053 thousands of euros for the accumulated deficit of the natural gas system at December 31, 2014. Accordingly, this deficit has been recovered in 15 consecutive annual payments, from November 25, 2016 to November 24, 2031 (Note 2.2).
Order TEC/1367/2018, of December 20, which establishes the tolls and royalties associated with third party access to gas facilities and the remuneration of regulated activities for 2019, regulated the procedure for the transfer to third parties of collection rights corresponding to the deficit accumulated at December 31, 2014. It also established the methodology for

calculating the interest rate to be applied in the calculation of annual payments corresponding to collection rights, as well as the final interest rate for the accumulated deficit at December 31, 2014 (1.104%).
On December 1, 2017, Enagás Transporte, S.A.U. ceded the credit rights for the accumulated deficit at December 31, 2014 (Note 2.2).
• Furthermore, the temporary imbalances between income and expenses resulting for 2015 would be recovered during the following five years, also recognizing an interest rate in conditions equivalent to those of the market.
These imbalances were 27.2 million euros, 90 million euros and 24.8 million euros in the years 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively. In the calculation of the amounts of the annual payments corresponding to these imbalances, an interest rate of 0.836% is applied for 2015, 0.716% for 2016 and 0.923% for 2017, as provided in Order TEC/1367/2018 (Note 2.2).
Order IET/3587/2011 establishes in article 16 that the gas meant for minimum levels in gas pipelines for transport and regasification plants (heel gas) will be remunerated as a necessary investment for transport activity, recognizing financial remuneration
The remuneration of this item is maintained after the entry into force of the new remuneration framework, to which the same financial remuneration rate is applied as for the transmission, regasification and underground storage facilities. The acquisition cost will be that resulting from applying the price resulting from the auction to the amount acquired.
Law 8/2015 of May 21, amending Law 34/1998, of October 7, on the Hydrocarbons Sector, designates MIBGAS S.A. as Organized Gas Market Operator. This law was enacted by Royal Decree 984/2015, of October 30, which assigns the principal functions of the Organized Gas Market Operator to the mercantile company MIBGAS, establishing its functions and role within the gas sector.
It is worth noting that in its article 65 ter. "Operator of organized gas market," it establishes that a mercantile company will act as an operator in the organized gas market and that its shareholders will be made up of any natural or legal persons, with the direct interest held in said company by the Technical Managers of the Spanish and Portuguese gas systems equal to 20%. On June 14, 2016, in compliance with the stipulations of article 65 ter., the acquisition of 13.34% of said company by Enagás GTS, S.A.U. became effective.
Furthermore, as a regulatory novelty in 2018, it should be noted that Order ETU/1283/2017, of December 22, which establishes the tolls and fees associated with third party access to gas facilities and the remuneration of the regulated activities for 2018, enabled the negotiation in MIBGAS, S.A. of new gas transfer of title products with delivery in facilities not included in the Spanish gas system.
These products will be considered outside the natural gas regulated system, so they are not subject to the sectoral regulation specific to the Spanish gas system nor will they receive any compensation from the system.
It is therefore established that MIBGAS, S.A. has to carry separate accounts guaranteeing accounting separation between the costs
and revenues linked to the negotiation of the products authorized for trading in the organized gas market that receive temporary remuneration, and the remaining costs and revenues linked to the negotiation of the products authorized for trading in the organized gas market that are outside of it, as well as the rest of the activities that MIBGAS, S.A. performs on an ancillary basis, and that also fall outside of the temporary annual compensation.
The CNMC in its Board meeting of April 11, 2013 required Enagás, S.A. (currently succeeded in its transmission activity by Enagás Transporte, S.A.U.), Galp Gas Natural, S.A., and Gasoducto Al-Ándalus, S.A. to adjust the gas transit agreements to Portugal, signed in 1996 by Transgas, S.A. (currently Galp Gas Natural, S.A.) in order to adapt to the new regulatory framework introduced by Directive 2009/73/CE and Regulation (CE) 715/2009, of July 13, 2009, of the European Parliament and of the Council.
With a view to complying with said requirement, Galp Gas natural, S.A. and Enagás Transporte, S.A.U. signed a Framework Contract on February 27, 2014 for access to the transmission and distribution system of Enagás Transporte, S.A.U. via international gas pipeline connections with Europe. Subsequently, on November 18, 2014, both companies signed the corresponding long-term access contract to transmission and distribution networks and an addendum to the Framework Contract, which took effect on January 1, 2015, thereby complying with all CNMC requirements.
The CNMC considered the adjustments to said contracts for thirdparty access to the transmission and distribution system to be in compliance with prevailing regulations.

About our Consolidated Management Report
[GRI 102-14]
I'm very pleased to have been able to give the same news twelve years in a row: we've met all our set targets. That's the best news we can give to our shareholders and investors year after year.
Among these fulfilled commitments, there are two main features to highlight from the year. First, we made a net profit of 442.6 million euros, achieving the average growth in accumulated profit of 3% a year we set for the 2016–2018 period.
And second, we increased our dividend by 5%, in keeping with our commitment until 2020.
The most noteworthy aspect is that we were able to significantly reduce our net debt by 733 million euros. This reduction in the debt allowed us to end the year with a net debt of 4.275 billion euros. This was possible thanks to our solid cash flow during the period.
What's more, we've kept the cost of servicing the debt very low, at 2.3%, and we have no other significant maturities until 2022.
Another milestone of note is that for another year, the two rating agencies that assess us, Standard & Poor's and Fitch, have confirmed our A- rating.

"We've been meeting targets for twelve years running and have kept a 5% increase in our dividend."

investments in the year?
There were two major operations, which fit with the strategy we announced in its day of considering the rotation of some of the assets we hold outside of Spain in order to make potential new international investments.
Taking into account the dividends paid out in 2018, the total return for Enagás shareholders for the year was +5.1%.

Interview with the Executive Chairman
In a complex year for the stock market, with important downward corrections in the world's leading exchanges, Enagás shares performed more positively than the national benchmark index to which it belongs, the Ibex35, and its European sector index,
About our Consolidated Management Report
How did Enagás shares perform in 2018?
CONSOLIDATED MANAGEMENT REPORT
The first was the sale, jointly with our partner Fluxys, of our 50% stake in the Swedish operator Swedegas, which resulted in a TIR after tax of more than 10% and cash flow boost to Enagás of 100.5 million euros.
The second operation was our entry into Greece. Through a consortium of two European TSOs, Snam and Fluxys, we purchased a 66% stake in Desfa, the Greek natural gas transmission network operator. This purchase meant an investment for Enagás of 40.5 million euros.
As well, we've continued to invest in the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP), a key piece of infrastructure in European energy development, which is already 85% complete. Financial close was successfully completed in December with 3.960 billion euros in project financing, a major milestone that underscores the trust and long-term support shown by the financial institutions involved in the project.
Demand in 2018 was held at the level of 2017, which was a particularly positive year in which gas demand in Spain rose by 9%.

ANNUAL CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT
CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL ACCOUNTS
The engine driving this good evolution continues to be industrial demand, which has grown by 15% since 2014, and specifically in 2018, grew by 4.5%, even higher than GDP.
Industrial demand accounts for 60% of the total natural gas consumed in Spain, and it's a good indicator of how the Spanish economy is evolving, given that the main gas consumers are also the country's leading exporters.
Natural gas is key to the development of the competitiveness of industries and, given the calorific value in most of them, it is an irreplaceable energy at this time.
Sustainability is one of our strategic priorities and for years has been included among the company's goals, linked to the variable remuneration of Enagás employees. We work in very close alignment with the UN's 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals.
Decarbonisation and the fight against climate change, to which we are strongly committed, mark the context in which we operate. This is why we updated our 2019–2021 Sustainability Strategy in 2018 and set out three long-term pillars: promoting the role of natural gas in a low-carbon economy and the development of renewable gases, such as biomethane and hydrogen; energy efficiency and emissions reduction; and people and corporate culture.
"Industrial demand accounts for 60% of the total natural gas consumed in Spain, grew by 4% in 2018, a good indicator of how the Spanish economy is evolving"

Enagás Annual Report 2018 ANNUAL DIRECTORS' REMUNERATION REPORT
"Sustainability is one of our strategic priorities and we work in very close alignment with the UN's 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals"
We have been making good progress in all these areas, hence our high ranking in the main sustainability indices. In 2018, we were acknowledged world leader in our sector by one of the most important indices, the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI), and we were given a Gold Class rating four our performance in sustainability.
Natural gas has a major part to play in the energy transition, as a safe, efficient, competitive and sustainable energy. We are promoting new services and uses for natural gas, for instance in transport, where it is greatly contributing to reduce emissions and improve air quality. This year, the European Commission has chosen the LNG HIVE2 project, led by the Spanish Ports Authority and coordinated by Enagás, to continue to promote LNG as a fuel for maritime and rail transport.
Moreover, we are continuing to innovate and find creative solutions in order to be a part of the more sustainable future that's being built. In 2018, we signed agreements with public and private entities in order to undertake renewable gas projects, such as the one we signed with the government of the Balearic Islands for the development of a plant to produce green hydrogen using renewable energy.
What's more, we've cut our carbon footprint in half in recent years; we've become world leaders in the reduction of fugitive emissions; and we've managed to make our regasification plants, head office and corporate fleet carbon neutral. In 2018, we were also able to meet our target for long-term emission reductions linked to the variable remuneration of employees.
People and the corporate culture play key role in allowing us to meet our targets, which is why we prioritise the offering of stable and quality employment. We are focused on attracting and retaining the best talent and on creating workplaces that enhance the well-being and motivation of our professionals, where diversity and equal opportunities are fully integrated.
This is reflected by the high satisfaction scores given in our workplace climate surveys, low rates of staff turnover and also external recognition. We are ranked highest among energy companies on the 100 Best Companies List compiled by Actualidad Económica, published only a few months ago. And more recently, we received again certification from Top Employers.
In addition, our efforts to promote diversity led us to become the first Spanish company among the top 200 companies in the Equileap 2018 gender equality ranking and, to be included, at the beginning of 2019 in the Bloomberg
Gender-Equality Index, with a score higher than our sector and the 230 companies included.
We continued to align the interests of shareholders, management and all Enagás employees. After the end of the current Long-Term Incentive Plan, the Board of Directors approved a new plan for 2019–2021. This plan once again includes a programme for multiannual remuneration for senior management and a triennial bonus for other employees, linked to fulfilment of the Enagás Strategic Plan. Besides a target for CO2 emission reductions, there is another target for gender diversity.
I'd like to say that this Annual Report, which has been approved by the Enagás Board of Directors, stands for the renewal of our commitment to the ten principles of the Global Compact, and at the same time, it contains out contribution to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. [GRI 102-32]
The good results we present every year are only possible as a result of the commitment of the more than 1,400 people who make up the company, whom I would like to thank for their daily efforts that allow us to continue to take on challenges, meet goals and further the growth of Enagás.
Thank you also to all the members of our Board of Directors, for your responsibility and involvement. They are a key pillar for the implementation of our strategy and for the company's good performance.
Enagás' main objective is to continue to create value sustainably for our shareholders, whom I wish to thank on my behalf and on behalf of the Board of Directors for their trust and support.

ANNUAL DIRECTORS' REMUNERATION REPORT
Enagas operates in a global scenario of environmental transition, in which renewable energies (with high rates of growth owing to stimulus policies and falling costs) and natural gas (with higher absolute growth owing to environmental policies and the abundance of competitive resources), especially LNG, are leading the transition towards a low-carbon energy mix.
The substitution of coal and oil with natural gas continues to be key to the containment of global emissions. Of the 15 main emitters of CO2 , the United States has reduced its emissions the most since 2010, owing to having the largest share of coal replaced by natural gas. In the same period, despite its extremely strong economic growth, China has been able to contain the growth of its emissions (even reducing them in 2014–2016) because of its greater reliance on gas compared to coal.
Moreover, environmental regulations in the marine transport sector, air quality improvement plans in cities and reduction targets for CO2 emissions have led to a boost in the demand for gas in maritime and terrestrial transport in the short term.

In the long term, the European Union's view of carbon neutral emissions by 2050 requires that we focus on renewable gases (biomethane and hydrogen), clean energies with huge potential whose production contributes to the circular economy. The integration of renewable gases into the energy system contributes to sustainability, competitiveness and stability.
Biomethane produced from waste is a source of renewable, local and storable energy, with a positive impact on employment and the rural economy.
In addition, renewable hydrogen (obtained by electrolysis using renewable energy) is being positioned as a new global energy vector that allows the storage of excess electrical energy from renewable sources and can be used in all energy sectors.
These non-electric renewable energies can be transported via the existing gas infrastructure, maximising their use and contributing to a fair energy transition.

Enagás Annual Report 2018
Industrial demand for natural gas represents about 60% of the total demand for natural gas in Spain, and total demand has been growing at an average yearly rate of 4.2% since 2016. This energy is currently irreplaceable due to its high calorific value and versatility.
Chairman
For this reason Enagás encourages competition in the market and liquidity in the Iberian Gas Market, and greater interconnection with the rest of Europe in order to advance the integration of the European market. This will lead to the removal of barriers that cause price differences between the Spanish gas system and those of its neighbouring countries.
Natural gas is the cleanest and most efficient solution the industrial sector has to cater to its needs for high-temperature thermal energy, contributing to its competitiveness and, consequently, to economic development and employment. This is particularly evident in industries with intensive energy consumption and in those focusing on exports. In this sense, cogeneration with natural gas is an optimum solution to increase efficiency and competitiveness in industry (it has an overall performance higher than 90%) and reduce greenhouse gases.
Furthermore, since 2018, the Spanish Gas System has shown a net annual surplus, which will allow the totality of the debt to be paid earlier than expected, in an environment of growing demand.
Natural gas is the cleanest and most efficient solution for the industrial sector
ANNUAL DIRECTORS' REMUNERATION REPORT
In 2018, Enagás redirected its strategy in Europe by increasing its presence in the south-eastern region, which is becoming one of the nerve centres for the development of gas infrastructure.
Enagás is positioned in the fastest-growing gas markets of Latin America in order to take advantage of the opportunities for growth in the region, where the midstream sector shows solid fundamentals for the very strong expected demand and new, competitive resources that require adaptation to changes in flow.
The United States is a key market owing both to its internal demand and its exports. Development of the country's gas infrastructure allows large volumes of coal to be replaced and the country to lead the world in the reduction in CO2 emissions (> 420 MtCO2 per year in 2017 vs 2010, equivalent to approximately 1.5 times the yearly emissions produced by the energy sector in Spain).
What is more, LNG is consolidating its place as the fastest-growing means of supplying natural gas. Regasification capacity will grow by close to 25% by 2023, and 45% of this new capacity will be floating (currently barely accounting for 12%), with a much wider geographic distribution than that of on-shore capacity.

Enagás Annual Report 2018
Chairman
Enagás has established a risk management and control model aimed at ensuring the achievement of the objectives of the company in a predictable manner and with a medium-low profile for all of its risks. The model allows Enagás to adapt to the complexity of its business operations amid a globally competitive and economically complex environment, where risks materialise more quickly and with an increasingly evident contagion effect. The model is based on the following aspects:
Business Strategies.
Operational and Technological.
Financial and Tax-related.
Credit and Counterparty.
Reputational.
Criminal Liability.
Compliance and Model.
On the one hand, the business units that are responsible for the risks they take on when conducting their ordinary business activities, and are therefore responsible for identifying and measuring them.
Moreover, there is a risk control and management area responsible for: (i) ensuring that the risk control and management system functions properly, (ii) active participation in the development of the risk strategy and definitions of impacts on their management and iii) ensuring that the control and management systems adequately mitigate risks.
Lastly, the internal audit unit is in charge of supervising the efficiency of the risk controls in place.
The Board of Directors is responsible for approving the risk control and management policy. Its other responsibilities relating to risk have been delegated to the Audit and Compliance Committee.
The Audit and Compliance Committee mainly supervises the efficiency of the risk systems and evaluates the company's risks (identification, measurement and establishment of measures for their management).
The Risks Committee establishes the overall strategy for risks, the limits of global risk for the company, and reviews the level of exposure to risk and the corrective actions, should there be any non-compliance.
The transparency of information supplied to third parties, to guarantee its reliability and accuracy.
ANNUAL DIRECTORS' REMUNERATION REPORT
The integral analysis and periodic monitoring of all risk permit the appropriate control and management thereof, an understanding of the relationships between them and facilitates their joint assessment. This is accomplished by taking into account the differences of each type of risk in terms of its nature, handling capacity, risk measurement tools, etc.
The existing model is completed by carrying out of specific risk analyses that facilitate the decision-making process based on riskprofitability criteria in those strategic Enagás Group initiatives, new businesses or initiatives of special relevance from the risk standpoint. There is a risk function that performs this analysis independently, transversally (covering all risk types) and homogeneously (with similar operations and measuring overall risks).
Moreover, the main risks to which the Enagás Group is exposed are explained in the following:
Integral analysis and regular monitoring of all risks allow them to be adequately controlled and managed

Enagás in 2018
Natural gas is the key to achieving sustainable, safe and efficient energy, both in the present and for the future. Natural gas demand in the Spanish industrial sector currently accounts for 60% of total demand (see 'Operating context' chapter), and it plays a key role in the competitiveness of Spanish industry, a role that should be upheld. Moreover, Enagás is committed to the promotion of new uses for natural gas, particularly in the transport sector (maritime, rail and road).
Enagás participates in projects such as CORE LNGas Hive. In this case, it is the coordinator of the project that includes 42 partners with a budget of 33.3 million euros, with the objective of developing an integrated, safe and efficient logistics chain for the supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG) for fuel in the transport sector, especially in maritime transport, in the Iberian Peninsula: Spain and Portugal. This will promote the use of this alternative fuel not only for supply to ships but also for industrial equipment in port areas.
Enagás is also one of the coordinators of the Infrastructure & Logistics Solutions (Hive2) project, which, with a budget of 14.7 million euros, is aimed at developing supply infrastructure at the Port of Huelva.
In addition, from its position as Vice President of the Maritime section of Gasnam, Enagás is promoting all necessary measures for the promotion and development of the infrastructures required for the use of LNG as a maritime transport fuel.
Enagás is taking part in the project for the world's first LNG-fuelled passenger train. The first pilot test for this fuel was conducted with a regional train between the localities of Mieres and Figaredo, Asturias, at an act attended by representatives of the Spanish government, participating energy companies and Renfe, the Spanish state-owned railway operator.
Enagás is collaborating with Renfe and other companies, supported by the Ministry of Public Works and Transport, to develop a test for the use of LNG in a passenger train on the Spanish railway network, as part of the Driving Vehicles with Alternative Energies Strategy in Spain 2014-2020 and in line with the implementation of Directive 2014/94 on the implementation of an infrastructure for alternative fuels in Europe. This project seeks to analyse the technical, environmental, legal and economic feasibility of railway traction with LNG to assess the possibility of extending this new traction solution to the commercial area in Spain.
Also, a second project will be developed, in collaboration with Renfe, to convert the railway traction of a diesel freight locomotive to LNG (raiLNG project). Enagás is also involved with RENFE in the development of intermodal transport of LNG ISO containers for combined transportation by Road-Rail-Sea. In 2019, a third project will commence to convert a freight locomotive operating on the line connecting Huelva and Majarabique, in the province of Seville.
Pilot testing of the first ship-to-ship loading of LNG in Iberia took place at the Port of Bilbao. The test was conducted after the conversion of a barge, enabling it to supply other vessels with LNG. This is expected to serve as a stimulus for the use of natural gas in a sector that predominantly relies on marine fuel oil and diesel fuel.
ANNUAL DIRECTORS' REMUNERATION REPORT
The company is participating in the ECO-GATE project, a consortium of natural gas operators and technology and service providers, end users and experts in market knowledge and promotion in Spain, Portugal, France and Germany, whose aim is to construct 23 gas stations (21 L-CNG, 1 Biomethane, 1 H2CNG) in the Atlantic and Mediterranean corridors of the road networks of Spain, France, Germany and Portugal.
Likewise, the company's Sustainable Mobility Plan includes a range of initiatives aimed at its professionals and its fleet of vehicles, which promote the use of vehicular natural gas and optimize travel, thus reducing environmental impact. These include the replacing operation and maintenance vehicles by vehicles powered by CNG, if there are equivalent vehicles; the delivery of CNG vehicles to managers and the promotion of the purchase of this type of vehicle by their employees in advantageous conditions.
Additionally, the company is promoting the use of natural gas as an alternative fuel to oil in vehicle fleets through the creation of start-ups (Gas2Move and ScaleGas).

REPORT
For the promotion and enhancement of CNG and LNG for use as land transport fuel, Enagás is also participating as a partner in Gasnam, NGVA and Sedigas, supporting the measures agreed in the sector.
Interview with the Executive Chairman
Enagás is committed to developing non-electric renewable energies, such as biomethane and hydrogen as new energy solutions that will play a crucial role in the decarbonisation process. Gas infrastructures are suited to the transport and storage of these renewable gases, meaning that additional infrastructure investments will not be required.
For its part, biomethane-biogas is obtained from the anaerobic decomposition of organic matter present in urban solid waste, wastewater as well as livestock, agricultural and forestry waste. The two options can be used in industry, as fuel for vehicles or injected directly into the pipeline network. Hydrogen, which is obtained from surplus electrical energy from renewable sources, has a great many applications: fuel cells, network injection, vehicular use, and the production of synthetic natural gas.
Enagás is a member of the European Renewable Gas Industry (ERGAR) and of other sector-wide associations such as AEBIG, AEH2, Hydrogen Europe and FGER.
In the last year, Enagás signed different collaboration agreements for the development of biomethane and hydrogen:

Enagás and the government of Aragon are collaborating on projects for renewable gases such as hydrogen and biogas/biomethane. Through this collaboration, the government of Aragon and Fundación Hidrógeno Aragón have become partners supporting Enagás projects and research, development and innovation (RD&I) in fields such as sustainable mobility and the production of renewable hydrogen.
Enagás y Ferrovial signed a collaboration agreement to explore opportunities to promote the production and distribution of biogas.

Enagás and Repsol signed an agreement to develop technology to produce renewable hydrogen. This is a key project in the Enagás strategy for developing non-electric renewable energies. Both companies will work towards the development of a hydrogen production process mainly using solar energy, reducing the carbon footprint by more than 90% compared to conventional processes used to obtain this gas.

Enagás and Biogastur signed an agreement for joint biogas and biomethane projects in the regions of Asturias, Galicia and Andalusia. Through this agreement, Enagás is working towards the development of the biogas and biomethane market through the use of infrastructure linked to its core business and taking advantage of the natural gas network to promote nonelectric renewable energies.

Enagás and Ence signed an agreement for the development of renewable gas using biomass, for the purpose of using up surplus biomass to produce green hydrogen and synthetic natural gas.

Enagás is taking part in the development of a plant to generate green hydrogen using renewable electrical energy in Majorca, for which a PV solar park will also be built.

Interview with the Executive Chairman

As the leader and coordinator of the Renovagas consortium, Enagás completed a pilot plant power-to-gas in 2017, which will enable synthetic methane gas to be produced from renewable sources.

Enagás is participating in the SOLUTHION project, which aims to evaluate the impact of hydrogen injection into the gas pipeline network using different proportions in the mixture.

Enagás and Empresa para la Gestión de Residuos Industriales (Emgrisa) are collaborating on a project to spur development of biomethane through the potential conversion of Emgrisa waste treatment plants, enabling them to produce biomethane using the biogas from waste. A feasibility study has commenced for this purpose at one of the company's plants.
Enagás is currently a member of different consortiums with other players in the gas and industrial market on innovation projects for the promotion and development of non-electric renewable energies and their future injection into existing gas infrastructures.

Interview with the Executive Chairman
Ethics and integrity form one of the most relevant aspects for the company, as reflected in its Code of Ethics and Compliance Policy. They guarantee the honest behaviour of our professionals, and of the third parties with whom we form relationships; even when this behaviour is not set out in the legislation, it is one of our priorities. This commitment allows us to guarantee appropriate decisions are made, creating trust in our stakeholders and facilitating the sustainability of the business.
Key aspects that are covered by our ethics and integrity model are the frameworks of policy, procedures and applicable regulations, including the Code of Ethics, and the implementation of Compliance and Crime Prevention Models, and their dissemination.

The Enagás Code of Ethics (Enagás Group Code of Ethics and Enagás GTS Code of Conduct) sets out the conduct that is expected from all professionals in the company, irrespective of their responsibilities and their geographical or functional location. The Code is implemented via policies, regulations, procedures and controls.
The policies set out the principles and commitments of the main management areas of the company. The corporate directives define the principles of action for specific management areas.
The Ethical Compliance Committee, functionally and directly dependent on the Board of Directors' Audit and Compliance Committee, has competencies relating to the Code of Ethics.
Enagás also has the following procedures in place associated with the Code of Ethics:
on its behalf, including business partners, to resolve any doubts or to report any irregularities or breaches through one of the following channels or any other means the company may set up in the future (Ethics Channel), informing the party who made the report of the status of their report at all times: [GRI 102-17]

In 2018, 5 communications were received via the Ethics Channel: [GRI 205-3]


The Enagás Compliance Model is managed by the compliance function, which is supported by synergistic functions and other corporate support areas including the participation of local compliance officers located in certain countries where Enagás operates.
According to the company's policy, procedural and regulatory framework, the Enagás Compliance Model is structured around the Compliance Policy and its associated regulations:
The model defines double line reporting in order to have a compliance function that is coordinated on a global level; this mitigates the risks of regulatory non-compliance in the national and international arena, which may in turn have serious reputational consequences. This double line reporting is on the one hand, that developed by the corporate areas and, on the other hand, that developed by compliance officers in the different affiliates. Loss of information and inconsistencies are therefore avoided.
As part of the Compliance Model, Enagás has a Crime Prevention Model that acts as the core of the company's criminal compliance, notwithstanding the existence of policies, procedures and controls that illustrate its content and 'contribute to preventing crimes being committed by any person who is part of Enagás as well as, in their respective areas of relation, by contractors, suppliers, business partners and any third party that collaborates with or acts on their behalf.'
The Crime Prevention Model in Spain includes the following elements:
In 2018, the company defined the Corruption Prevention Model, based on ISO 37001
In 2018, the Crime Prevention Model was approved at the Chile regasification plant (Quintero LNG). Similarly, the year also saw training on compliance, anti-corruption and the crime prevention model for 5 of the 10 suppliers who work at the facility on a permanent basis and 120 personnel at the regasification plant.
Enagás has an Anti-Fraud, Corruption and Bribery Policy in place which reflects the company's vehement opposition to the committing of illicit or unlawful acts and its firm will to combat and prevent them, for the purpose of fulfilling its 'zero tolerance' principles.
The Crime Prevention Model includes risks related to corruption, such as bribery, influence peddling and corruption in business.

All activities in Spain have been analysed for these risks and the company has put in place controls and guidelines for action in order to prevent and mitigate those risks. [GRI 205-1]
In 2018, the company worked on the definition of a Corruption Prevention Model, based on ISO 37001, which includes a review of its Anti-Fraud, Corruption and Bribery Policy, and the creation of regulations that implement and will serve as a framework for the corruption prevention controls.
The standard establishes the following general control measures to prevent corruption:
Enagás is also conducting internal audits of its affiliates in order to verify the solidity of internal controls associated with the processes at greatest risk for fraud, corruption and bribery, establishing control activities to strengthen them wherever necessary. In 2018, the company will continue to make progress in the prevention of fraud, corruption and bribery in its affiliates, strengthening its internal auditing process and following up on audits conducted in previous years. Particularly notable is the follow-up on the procurement and payment audits at Grupo Altamira (TLA), the shareholder audit at Trans Adriatic Pipeline AG (TAP), follow-up on the ethics and good governance audits at Compañía del Gas del Amazonas, S.A.C (COGA) and TLA, as well as the audits of local communities at TgP devoted to checking the receipt of the aid sent to each community.
Enagás adopts a focus of responsible tax practice based on prudence and aligned with the recommendations set out in the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Companies. The Responsible Tax Practice Policy sets out the strategy and principles that must guide the conduct of all employees, executives and directors of Enagás, as well as third parties with whom the company has relationships.
In 2018, in line with the company's commitment to tax transparency entailed by its adherence to the Code of Good Tax Practices, Enagás presented its Fiscal Transparency Report.
Moreover, in accordance with the public reporting commitments set out in the Responsible Tax Practice Policy, the company has published in this report the total tax contribution and the taxes paid in the different jurisdictions where the company operated through affiliates (see the chapter on 'Financial and operational excellence').

Training was given over the last two years on the Enagás Crime Prevention Model, which was completed by around 92% of professionals
The company is included in the European Transparency Register, and reports on information related to European policies that directly or indirectly impact the gas transmission and storage business, the liquefied natural gas business, and the Spanish and European gas industry. It also reports on lobbying initiatives carried out by the company in Brussels in relation to these policies and implementations, and the associated costs.
Enagás has 3 professionals participating part-time in different activities related to the transparency register, including a permanent representative in Brussels. In 2018, annual costs were less than 200,000 euros, distributed as follows: personnel expenses (56%), office and administration expenses (2%), representation, communication and public relations expenses (1%), internal expenses (6%) and association membership fees (35%).
Similarly, Enagás is participating in commercial associations and non-profits such as think tanks as a sponsor for these initiatives. The total sum allocated in 2018 was €765,844.
Enagás professionals are provided with the opportunity to undergo training on the Code of Ethics that encompasses such key issues as the fight against fraud, corruption and bribery, fiscal responsibility and respect for Human Rights, among others. It is a tool for preventing irregularities, including those that could constitute crimes, in those spheres. The course has been completed by 93.7% of professionals.
Training was given over the last two years on the Enagás Crime Prevention Model, which was completed by around 92% of professionals. The course includes general information on the Crime Prevention Model and practical cases related to the most relevant crimes related to the company's activity, and professionals are provided with a Crime Prevention Manual. This manual includes a description of each crime and behavioural guidelines for its prevention.
In 2019, an online training course will be carried out on the Corruption Prevention Model for all employees. In addition, certain groups will also receive in-person training.
Furthermore, one of the most highly valued aspects of the workplace climate survey carried out in 2018 (see 'People' chapter) was the awareness among professionals regarding the existence of the Ethics Channel to report inappropriate behaviour without fear of reprisal. This reveals the level of familiarity with the principles and guidelines on conduct expected by Enagás.
In 2019, an online training course will be carried out on the Corruption Prevention Model for all employees

Enagás has adapted to the new circumstances arising out of the crisis, reducing its external financing through banks and resorting to other types of financing, such as bond issues, which has permitted the Company to achieve a more diversified structure.

Enagás has reduced its net debt through the generation of cash flows, the materialisation of the TAP true up (€415.2 Mn) once the financing for the project was finalised, as well as through the sale of Swedegas (€100.5 Mn).

Interview with the Executive Chairman
Due to its geographical location, Spain is an entry point for LNG and natural gas coming into Europe from various locations around the world. It has the highest number of regasification plants of any European country, as well as a meshed network of gas pipelines. This gives the country great capacity for storage, transmission and operational flexibility.
Given this situation, and after more than forty years of experience in developing, maintaining and operating regasification plants and transmission pipelines, Enagás is situated as one of the most reputable transmission companies in Europe in terms of facility efficiency.
Our terminals are now recognised as amongst the most efficient in Europe, with availability of over 99%. At Enagás, we place our facilities at the service of our clients. There, we provide both traditional LNG services, such as the unloading of tankers, regasification, LNG transfer to ships and tanker trucks, as well a new small-scale and bunkering services. We are adapting our facilities to these services every day. Across the board, we work
for continuous improvement at our facilities, implementing the latest technologies.
Specifically, we have invested in creating a "logistics hub" for Europe in the gas market, promoting the use of our infrastructure through traditional services and new small-scale and bunkering services.
Enagás, a midstream company with more than four decades of experience in the development and maintenance of gas infrastructure and operation and management of gas networks, was certified as a Transmission System Operator (TSO) by the European Commission in 2012, securing its positioning as a European sector leader. It also works as the Technical Manager of the System following the publication of the Hydrocarbons Law. This means it is responsible for the operation and technical management of the Basic Network and the secondary transmission network, guaranteeing the continuity and security of the natural gas supply as well as proper coordination between access points, storage facilities, transmission and distribution.

Enagás carries out the majority of its activities in Spain, where it has worked since 1969 to the present day. It has built a meshed network of more than 12,000 km of high-pressure gas pipelines, facilitating access to gas from almost every point on the Iberian peninsula. The company holds stakes in six of the seven regasification plants in the Iberian Peninsula (four terminals owned outright and two part-owned), and has three underground storage facilities. As the main transmission company, Enagás has developed the main infrastructure facilities of the Spanish Gas System, making it into a leader in security and diversification of supply and consolidating its presence on the international stage.

Enagás is one of the companies with the most LNG terminals in the world. We are pioneers in the development, maintenance and operation of this type of infrastructure, and our knowledge and experience have made us as international leaders in the sector.
Our terminals have a unique geostrategic position: their placement between the Atlantic, Cantabrian and Mediterranean catchment areas favours sea transmission and the diversification of LNG sources and destinations. In addition, as regards emissions, Spain is the entry point for a possible ECA (Emission Control Area), an area that could be declared particularly vulnerable to pollution. In such an area, a small-scale market could be a solution.
At Enagás, we offer a vetting service for the assessment and inspection of methane tankers, both in the large and small scale sectors.
At Enagás, we are working to provide our customers with the set of services we provide, in accordance with current regulations. The Third-Party Network Access (ATR) services that we provide at our facilities are fundamentally classified as:

Most of these services are sold as individual services. However, the new Spanish regulations governing third-party access to the grid, Royal Decree 984/2015, set out the possibility of offering additional services. Enagás is therefore working intensely together with other LNG operators and shippers to design an additional services proposal that meets the needs of our customers.
In 2018, the use of storage capacity at plants wholly owned by Enagás rose 6% relative to 2017. Likewise, the number of trucks loaded rose 11.9% over 2017 levels, with 29,134 trucks sent to 652 locations. The regasification volume at plants wholly owned by Enagás was 101.27 TWh in 2018, the highest regasification volume in the EU.
Our customers are transmission companies, shippers, distributors and the direct consumers in the market (consumers which connect directly to our facilities), to which Enagás supplies a wide range of liquefied natural gas (LNG) services, transmission and underground natural gas storage.
Enagás regularly evaluates the satisfaction of its customers and professionals (see chapter 'People') through satisfaction surveys, the results and associated improvement plans being reported to those same stakeholders.
In the case of customers, the results obtained in 2018 were as follows: [GRI 102-21, GRI 102-42, GRI 102-43, GRI 102-44]

Efficiency as one of the key levers that determines the sustainability of the business in the short, medium and long term
Enagás continues to promote efficiency as one of the key strengths for the sustainability of the business in the short, medium and long term. In order to do this, our current efficiency plan focuses on the following areas:


on 'People') and innovation (corporate entrepreneurship programme).
Administration and support services, by putting in place actions to ensure control of spending, adjusting it to the needs of the business at all times (cost efficiency plan).
Enagás is pursuing a Programme of continuous improvement set out to encourage new forms of work and collaboration between teams. This programme includes the following avenues:
In 2018, the pilot project launched in 2015 was deployed at all company facilities. This initiative involves more than 450 professionals, providing them with methodologies that can be used to obtain very satisfactory results based on improvements to communication, implementation and improvement actions, standardising tasks, critiques and solving daily problems in a structured way.
In addition, as a way of addressing new challenges at the company, in 2018, cross-cutting projects have been launched with multidisciplinary teams that will allow us to create innovative solutions with high short-term impact. These use new methodologies, including Lean-Kaizen and design thinking. In 2019, the Programme will focus on initiatives directed at programme sustainability and continuing with cross-cutting improvement projects.
Similarly, the agility Programme is made to address one of the challenges the organisation faces in adapting better to change, increasing its mobility and speed of action, maximising value delivered to the client and developing different, more innovative ways of working. Agility at Enagás is being encourage across the company and at the level of projects and services.
In 2018, an Agility Hub was created to work on defining the philosophy, agile culture and forward movement of Agile projects. Likewise, 3 pilot projects have been launched using Agile methodologies to test the viability of introducing these methodologies and assessing their scalability for specific areas of the company.
Enagás received an Honourable Mention at the Kaizen Lean Awards in the "Excellence in Systems of Continuous Improvement" for its Global Continuous Improvement Programme. Thanks to this programme, we have been able to promote the identification of improvement initiatives in day-to-day operations at Enagás, as well as launching cross-cutting projects with a large impact on results. In this way, we will create a sustainable cultural change over time.

People management is a key area for the company, since, as reflected in the Enagás Human Capital Management Policy, attracting, developing and retaining talent enables the company to equip itself with the resources necessary for the deployment of its strategy.
The key aspects that we address in our people management model are the structure and sizing of our organization (workforce), the stability and quality of employment, our professional development programmes and compliance with labour rights in the areas of diversity, conciliation and non-discrimination.

In addition, at the end of 2018, 12 professionals were hired through temporary employment agencies and 65 interns were working at Enagás.
The commitments undertaken by Enagás in its Human Capital Management Policy, and the measures and actions implemented, translate into high levels of satisfaction and motivation, as reflected by the low turnover rate, the results of the survey on workplace climate and the awards received by the company in this area.

In 2018, the company dismissed one employee in Spain and seven in Chile*.
Though Enagás has not undergone - or planned to undergo - any restructurings in recent years, the company does have measures that aim to prevent and manage restructurings. These include early retirement, help with finding new work (outplacement), priority given to internal candidates when filling vacant positions, training programmes to add new duties and responsibilities, and personalised follow-up (coaching and mentoring).
* Three women (one manager and two administrators) and five men (one manager, to-face as well as via e-learning. two technicians and two operators).
Evaluation of the performance and skills of our professionals means that we can know our internal talent and guide their training and professional development effectively.
Performance assessment allows the identification of strengths and areas of development of professionals regarding the performance of their work and on which the different development plans are developed. The competences and behaviours of professionals are evaluated annually, based on corporate values. The outcomes of these assessments are linked to their career development and the increase in their fixed remuneration.

● Men
● Women
The performance assessment process for senior positions includes 180º upward assessments. By using upward assessments, teams assess their superiors and, via the 180º assessment, the Management Committee assesses a part of the management team.
Moreover, competencies are evaluated through Development Centre workshops, in which participants get feedback on the strengths and areas for development.
The information obtained from the different evaluations of professionals is used to design customized development plans adapted to the needs identified.
On the one hand, development programs are promoted through on-the-job experience. With this in mind, internal rotation programmes are fostered so that new knowledge can be applied to real situations, and participation in transversal projects or temporary assignments can also be taken advantage of. In 2018, there were 142 internal movements (promotions, horizontal transfers and international transfers). 58% of hirings selected internal candidates. Twelve interns also stayed on at the company.
On a related note, there is room for mentoring and/or coaching programmes (16 professionals participated in coaching programmes). In addition, professionals in the company have received training and are certified in coaching; they are therefore qualified to carry out internal coaching processes. During the coming year, there will be work to strengthen existing mentoring and coaching programmes.
Lastly, an extensive programme of training actions are available on the corporate training portal and these are offered both face-

Enagás is committed to training its professionals from when they join the company and throughout their professional career.
Interview with the Executive Chairman
Training begins with Enagás' Welcome Plan. This plan consists of a block of e-learning on topics such as the Code of Ethics, risks regarding criminal liability, and equality, etc. and is mandatory for all professionals. Face-to-face training on Enagás' value chain, given by company executives, offers a global vision of the company's business to its professionals.
In addition, and depending on the type of work carried out by the
new employee, a training plan has been designed in areas related to operations, maintenance and administrative management.
The company's face-to-face training is offered at the Enagás Training School where over 10% of the workforce participate as trainers in different programmes. This face-to-face training in the classroom and in the workplace is complemented by e-learning, mobile training, communities of practice, etc.
Enagás assesses the satisfaction of professionals who have received training, which in 2018 averaged 8.9 out of 10.
The corporate guidelines on diversity and equal opportunities define the principles by which Enagás frames its actions in this area.
ANNUAL DIRECTORS' REMUNERATION REPORT
These principles include the integration of diversity in the main human resources processes such as access to employment, personal progress and professional development and promotion. It also reflects the company's commitment to the promotion of policies and measures to enhance work-life balance and the personal life of its professionals. In the same way, Enagás extends this commitment to all its stakeholders, paying special attention to suppliers and contractors as indispensable partners in achieving the company's business objectives (see the 'Supply chain' chapter).
To achieve this commitment, Enagás, aware of the wealth that the combination of knowledge, abilities and different experiences brings to the organisation, bases its diversity management strategy on the following aspects:

The Enagás remuneration model factors in considerations of equality and non-discrimination, establishing differences due solely to the worker's position in the organisation and professional experience. Furthermore, the Enagás Collective Bargaining Agreement sets out different salary levels based exclusively upon objective work criteria. The minimum salary for an Enagás employee is more that double the minimum interprofessional salary in Spain and Chile. [GRI 202-1]

In Chile, the ratio between the base salaries of female and male managers is 0.79; for technicians it is 0.84. As in the case of Spain, the lower ratio in the technical category is due to the greater average age of men compared to women in that category. In the case of the operators category, there is only one woman, whose position is at operator entry level (junior) and the ratio is therefore 0.36. Finally, the category of administrative officers includes qualified jobs fully occupied by women (secretaries) and unskilled jobs occupied entirely by men (couriers), so that the ratio is not relevant.
In 2018, the average compensation of employees in Spain rose 5.4% over 2017 levels.
In terms of generational diversity, the company is a partner of the Generation and Talent Observatory which encourages innovation and promotes active policies of generational diversity based on values and ethics. Enagás has sponsored and collaborated with the 'Generational diversity diagnostics: intergenerational talent analysis at companies', a report that aims to identify generational abilities by assessing the values, circumstances, knowledge and abilities of different generations.

5.5 Health and safety[GRI 103-1, GRI 103-2, GRI 103-3]
Health and Safety is one of the material aspects for Enagás, as is reflected in the Company's Health & Safety, Environment and Quality Policy. From an overall safety perspective, the company seeks the involvement of leaders and the development of a behavioural model for health and safety that guarantees the operation and maintenance of the facilities, processes and equipment, in safe conditions, so that people can carry out their work in optimal health and safety conditions.
The key aspects that we address in our approach to overall safety are the management of occupational risk prevention, including road safety, crisis and emergency management, information security and the health of professionals.

The Integrated Health, Safety, Environment and Quality System of the Enagás Group is certified under OHSAS 18001 and has procedures and systems that seek to prevent injuries and illnesses caused by working conditions in addition to the protection and health promotion of employees. This certification covers 100% of the professionals and contractors that work at Enagás infrastructure facilities. [GRI 403-1, GRI 403-7, GRI 403-8]
In addition, this system includes the Road Traffic Safety Management System, certified in 2017 according to ISO39001. On this topic, the company has a Mobility and Road Safety Plan, a set of Road Safety Guidelines, a vehicle use protocol, a Sustainable and Safe Fleet Management Handbook and a Road Safety Best Practices Guide.
Enagás promotes safety throughout its supply chain and requires OHSAS 18001 certification in occupational risks as part of its approval process for suppliers of certain families of products or services. Furthermore, in order to guarantee the coordination of business activities, the company has the Enagás Contractor Access System (SACE) to manage the safety of its suppliers, contractors and the whole subcontracting chain. [GRI 403-7]
This system offers contractors the operating safety procedures applicable to the risks involved in the works they perform.
Employees and contractors have access to various channels through which they can participate and consult about the operation, implementation and assessment of the management system. These include the bulletin board, staff letter, form, internal memo, informational pamphlet, poster and/or electronic communications, as well as any other method that can be documented and guarantees receipt by the intended recipient.
Enagás has various employee representative bodies where employees exercise their participation and consultation rights. Different committees comprise health and safety officers and management representatives. The Health and Safety Committee1 meets every three months, while the Group and Enagás Transporte SAU Intercentre Health and Safety Committees meet with a frequency set out in the Collective Bargaining Agreement. On the Intranet there is also a suggestion box available to all Enagás employees. [GRI 403-4]
In 2018, a total of 18,002 hours of health and safety training were provided for company employees. [GRI 403-5]
Health and Safety training is key part of any preventative action to improve worker protection from the hazards present in daily operations. This is why Enagás has designed a training schedule for all different job profiles at the company that sets out the specific training activities needed for each risk group. These actions include a training workshops on stress management aimed at all professionals at the company.
During 2018, 60 awareness-raising campaigns were carried out, most aimed at promoting the physical and mental well-being of Enagás workers through the development of activities that favour a healthy diet, promote regular physical activity and help improve general health.
In addition, 11 informative chats have been carried out regarding health and safety in various contexts: road safety, safety at home, children's emergencies, how to react to seizures, donation and skin cancer prevention. [GRI 403-6]
Enagás is also providing training to all its contractors through the SACE platform. This training is complementary to the in-person chats at infrastructure facilities where particularly hazardous work may be carried out. 3,658 hours of training were provided to contractors through the SACE platform, which is equivalent to 1,829 training courses. [GRI 403-5]
For World Road Safety Day on 10 June, the company held various activities to raise awareness of this topic among Enagás professionals.
Consult the Safety and health, environment and quality policy as well as the Corporate guidelines for the prevention of serious accidents and the Corporate road safety guidelines
on the corporate website 1 The Health and Safety Committees are statutorily established for centres with more than 50 workers. In centres with fewer than 50 workers in which there is a Prevention Delegate, health and safety meetings are held regularly.

● Lost time injury frequency rate (own staff)
● Lost time injury frequency rate (contractor staff)
● Lost time injury frequency rate (own staff + contractor staff)
In Chile, there were no accidents involving own staff in 2018.
In 2018, there were 5 accidents resulting in sick leave among own staff in Spain. All these accidents were suffered by men and were caused by unsafe behaviour, strain or postural/ergonomic issues or tools and equipment.
As regards reported workplace injuries, the rate per million hours worked is 9.98 for own staff and 3.47 for contractors.
At the Quintero LNG regasification plant in Chile, there was a fatal accident involving a contractor that occurred while maintenance work was being carried out on the seawater intake tower. Two investigations - one internal and another external, performed
by ABS Consulting - concluded that the death of the diving supervisor was due to negligence by the victim. This accident led to an update of the Underwater Activities Procedures, the HSSE Standards for high-risk activities and the risk matrix. Maintenance tasks for the seawater intake have been optimised and a protective structure has been installed on the seawater intake. Likewise, the work permitting system and contractor administrator training have been strengthened. In July 2018, the Cerdá Institute carried out a post-crisis analysis that resulted in a report with recommendations upon which we are now working.

Number of days lost due to accidents per thousand hours worked. (Number of working days lost x 103 / number of hours worked).

Through its evaluation systems for health and safety-related risks, Enagás has not identified workers at risk of work-related diseases.
Enagás has procedures in place to identify occupational risks and risk analysis, such as: [GRI 403-2]
An internal procedure for risk assessment using a method based on the Simplified Accident Risk Assessment System from the National Occupational Safety and Hygiene Institute, which is used for both routine and exceptional work. In the latter case, the method is linked to special operating instructions.
This method allows the magnitude of the existing risks to be assessed and sets the order of priority for addressing them.
Enagás has an internal procedure for reporting workplace hazards or dangerous situations. There are many channels, including Health and Safety Committees and meetings, worker representatives, an electronic mailbox available to all professionals and coordination meetings with contractors.
If a situation involving an imminent, serious risk is identified, professionals are obligated to stop working, remain in a safe location and notify their direct supervisor of the situation.
Enagás has a procedure for action, notification, investigation and statistical incident analysis (including accidents resulting in sick leave, not resulting in sick leave, severe and multiple, as well as incidents).

If the following circumstances arise, a specialised investigation is carried out through a specific register:
Following the investigation, a report is produce including the causes of the incident, the potential risk assessment, the corrective actions identified, the persons responsible for carrying out and monitoring the corrective measures (including those that affect the risk assessment review or changes to the management system), as well as resources and timelines. [GRI 403-2]
Consult the General Policy on the Integrated Security of Strategic Infrastructures on our corporate website
Enagás has a stakeholders map for managing crises affecting infrastructures so that, in a hypothetical crisis situation, all key people as well as the channels and issues can be identified.
Enagás also has different procedures in place to respond to incidents in information systems, which include roles and responsibilities, steps to take to restore the operability of equipment and systems, recovery times, etc.
Enagás also has a company Crisis Manual for quick and effective incident management, and has established numerous action committees to control incidents depending on the degree of severity and resulting consequences.
Enagás participated in a new natural disaster simulation organised by the Spanish Military Emergency Unit (UME). The exercise sought to increase the preparation of specialised services and the 3,500 participates to act in a simulation of hazards created by an earthquake, such as failures in essential supply lines.
The Enagás security management model is applicable to cybersecurity and is based on international and national regulations, in order to provide, through all means within its reach and in proportion to the threats detected, the resources required so that the organisation has an environment that is aligned with the established business and cybersecurity targets.
Additionally, as enhanced protection for the critical infrastructures operated by Enagás, a General Policy on the Integrated Security of Strategic Infrastructures has been defined in which the processes of physical and logical security have been combined for compliance with the law governing the protection of critical infrastructure (LPIC).
In 2018, various projects focused on reinforcing cybersecurity for industrial control systems were carried out as part of a system of continuous improvement. Enagás has worked with leading companies in the cybersecurity sector to implement and then audit its systems. It has obtained very satisfactory results in terms of the level of protection secured.
Enagás has been deploying its cybersecurity and awareness training strategy, reaching all staff and carrying out a number of in-person and online activities intended to improve employee ability to detect and react to threats. In its commitment to continuous improvement, Enagás has expanded the scope of its ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification to Enagás GTS' commercial systems and the gas network operation and control systems of Enagás Transporte.
Enagás has a cybersecurity policy approved by the Board of Directors and targeted at efficiently managing the security of information processed by the company's IT systems, as well as the assets involved in these processes.

Enagás studies the environmental impact of all its construction, operation and maintenance activities by means of environmental assessments. What is more, for infrastructure construction projects, and based on their type and on applicable regulations, environmental impact studies are carried out which include both the impacts themselves and the measures taken to mitigate them, while also establishing stakeholder consultation procedures (see the chapter on 'Local communities').
The most relevant environmental aspects for Enagás are gas emissions, particularly greenhouse gases. Other environmental aspects are, by order of relevance, waste generation, seawater withdrawal, impact on biodiversity, water consumption and noise pollution. For each of these aspects, ordered by relevance, their origin is shown as well as the main actions Enagás carries out to prevent and reduce them.

Enagás undertakes its environmental commitments (as outlined in the Health and Safety, Environment and Quality Policy) via its Environmental Management System. 100% of Enagás activity is ISO 14001 certified.
Furthermore, the Serrablo and Yela storage facilities and the Huelva and Barcelona regasification plants are EMAS certified.
Consult the Health & Safety, Environment and Quality Policy on the corporate website
Enagás' Head Office, located in Paseo de los Olmos 19, has been awarded the LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) Gold certification for sustainable building by the United States Green Building Council. This acknowledgement certifies that the building is an environmentally responsible, healthy and productive space. In 2018, environmental risk assessments were carried out for accidental scenarios that could cause environmental damage in plants, underground storage facilities and compression stations in accordance with Law 26/2007. The economic impacts of said risks were also assessed. As a result of these assessments, in all of the installations, except Serrablo and Yela underground storage facilities, the establishment of a financial guarantee was not required. In these storage facilities the main risk scenario is fire, which would affect forest species and habitats.
For the remaining facilities, the most likely types of accidental risks are fires and discharge. In a significant number of infrastructures, the costs of environmental damage arising from said risks do not require the establishment of a financial guarantee. Furthermore, having an Environmental Management System certified by ISO 14001 and EMAS guarantees the proper management of the activities that could lead to an accidental scenario.
However, to guarantee cover for possible environmental damage caused by its activity, Enagás has an insurance policy that covers both this damage and resulting repair costs.
Environmental monitoring is carried out through environmental audits of works, environmental surveillance, assessments of legal compliance in all installations and monitoring of environmental indicators and improvement plans. In 2018, environmental monitoring was carried out on 124 km of gas pipeline.
Enagás has signed the Circular Economy Agreement and has made the following commitments which are already being worked on:
1) Promotion of a responsible consumption model that includes the use of sustainable products and services and lower use of non-renewable natural resources.
Energy efficiency: Enagás' energy efficiency and emissions reduction plan includes measures aimed at reducing the consumption of natural gas and electricity as well as the selfgeneration of energy (see 'Climate Change and Energy Efficiency' chapter).
Use of cooling: Enagás has implemented a project to make use of the cooling properties of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the Huelva regasification plant. Through this project the residual cooling resulting from the plant's regasification process is transferred to refrigeration facilities. Therefore, a freezing service for sustainable products is provided, with an energy saving of over 50% in energy costs and a reduction in the carbon footprint of 90%.
2) Promoting guidelines to increase process innovation and efficiency.
Renewable gases: At Enagás we are promoting the development of non-electric renewable energies, like biogas/ biomethane and hydrogen, as well as the development of new services and uses for natural gas (see 'Climate Change and

Energy Efficiency'/'Sustainable Mobility' chapters), as these are key new energy solutions in the energy transition process. The use of biogas/biomethane fosters the development of a circular economy as it involves properly recovering solid waste from cities, wastewater, and waste from animal agriculture, farming and forestry. In Spain there is already a waste treatment centre at Valdemingómez (Madrid) which is connected to Enagás' pipeline network and we are working on new projects along the same line (see 'Vision of the Future'/'Renewable gases' chapters). Renewable hydrogen is positioning itself as a new, comprehensive energy vector, given that it can be used to store surplus electrical energy from renewable sources, can be transformed into different forms of energy (electricity, synthetic gas and heat) and can be used in multiple applications. At Enagás, we are promoting different initiatives to make the use and application of renewable hydrogen a reality.
3) Empowering the principle of waste hierarchy, promoting the prevention of its generation, promoting reuse and recycling and promoting its traceability.
Recycling and re-use of waste: Waste generated by Enagás is managed by an authorised waste management company. Enagás requires that this waste management company re-uses/recycles a minimum percentage (95%) of the total waste managed; this requirement is stipulated in the contract and non-compliance would result in a penalty. Furthermore, Enagás has an agreement with the association Otro Tiempo that promotes the recycling of coffee capsules at Enagás' headquarters, while also providing work for women at risk of social exclusion.
Re-use: Every year, Enagás donates IT equipment and mobile devices that are no longer in use (see 'Local communities' chapter). 4) Promoting analysis of the product life cycles (incorporating ecodesign criteria, making repair possible and prolonging service life).
Ecodesign: Enagás has started applying ecodesign criteria to its construction works, such as those carried out in Gaviota underground storage facility, which were certified under ecodesign regulation (ISO 14006:2011).
Extending useful life: The company extends the useful life of oils and lubricants used in the equipment of its facilities by cleaning and filtering these products.
5) Raising awareness on the importance of moving towards a circular economy.
Training: Enagás has started introducing the concept of circular economy in environmental training courses.
Awareness: The company is working on a campaign for contractors and Enagás professionals about separating and managing waste.
During the development of infrastructures, Enagás carries out activities aimed at protecting and preserving flora and fauna, thereby mitigating any impact on biodiversity. Such activities start with on-site reconnaissance before any work commences in order to check for the presence/absence of species along the route.
In addition, after the construction work, Enagás returns the affected areas to the way they were by reforesting the entire area.
In 2018, a number of construction projects were carried out using the corridors of other existing infrastructures and existing accesses to the work area were also used, thus reducing the damage to soil and waters. Likewise, during the repair works of the Lemona-Haro pipeline, 8,315 m2 were replanted and restored to stabilise a hillside. During the works, comprehensive monitoring was carried out of the reproduction of a pair of Egyptian vultures, with the aim of implementing, if necessary, measures to minimise the impact on the reproduction cycle of the pair. This thereby ensured that the pair's chicks were left undisturbed while the works were in process. [GRI 304-2, GRI 304-3, GRI 304-4, GRI OG4]
At Enagás, we do not consume water in our production processes. The company has thus not stated significant risks linked to water shortages in the yearly assessments that are conducted in line with the company's risk management model.
The main withdrawal of water that Enagás carries out is that of seawater for use in floodwater and seawater vaporisers at regasification plants. This water is returned under the same conditions as those in which it is withdrawn (the temperature decrease is minimal and it does not affect the marine ecosystem). The volume of water taken is directly proportional to the quantity of gas regasified.

Additionally to the aforementioned seawater return carried out in regasification plants, Enagás carries out wastewater discharge that can be treated as urban waste. In 2018, 11,302 m3 of water was discharged into the public mains and 9,754 m3 of water into septic tanks or the sea. [GRI 303-2, GRI 303-4, GRI 306-1]
In 2018, 77,810 m3 of water was used mainly for sanitation, irrigation and fire fighting equipment, the latter representing only 0.02% of withdrawn water [GRI 303-5]. The company therefore has various measures aimed at reducing water consumption such as better techniques for irrigation and consumption of grey water.
In 2018, actions to reduce the consumption of seawater and water from the municipal network were implemented in some regasification plants, and in 2019 the possible extension of these actions to the rest of the plants will be analysed.
Enagás reports on its performance, risks and opportunities in the area of water through its participation in CPD Water.
In terms of spillage, the company has implemented preventative measures such as installing containment troughs and trays.
Accidental spillage in 2018 was: [GRI 306-3]
) 13 litres of diesel ) 236 litres of oils ) 0.1 litre of THT ) 5 litres of hypochlorite
) 515 litres of water with hydrocarbons ) 40 litres of sulphuric acid Corrective actions include damage assessment, land decontamination and replenishment, removal and treatment by the waste manager and preparation of the incident report.
Enagás has implemented a system of segregation, management, storage and delivery to authorised managers of hazardous and non-hazardous waste. Enagás mainly generates waste through facility and equipment maintenance (activities that mainly depend on externalities, which accounts for the variability of the level of waste generated in 2018 compared to the previous

year). The company's objective is to recycle and re-use this waste wherever possible. The objective of treating (recycling/re-using) 95% of hazardous and non-hazardous waste has been established in the contract with the waste management company. [GRI 306-2]

NB: The data for waste generated and managed in 2017 has been changed as compared to the SOx Annual Report 2017 due to a typographical error [GRI 102-48]

Noise at Enagás' facilities is produced by the operation of regulators, turbines, vaporisers and pumps. Every facility carries out regular environmental noise measurements around its perimeter, in line with the limits set out in municipal by-laws or legislation that is in force.
Enagás conducts annual noise measurement campaigns at its facilities in order to minimise noise pollution. In 2018, a total of 58 noise measurements were conducted at two regasification plants, two underground storage facilities, three compression stations and 51 positions. During 2018, actions were taken to minimize noise levels by installing silencers at 8 regulation and metering stations regulation stations.
The main non-GHG emissions at our facilities are CO, SOx and NOx. These emissions are produced by the consumption of natural gas by the different equipment.
The energy efficiency measures and the objectives of reducing CO2 emissions (see the chapter on 'Climate Change and Energy Efficiency') are directly related to the reduction in these atmospheric emissions. [GRI 305-7]
Enagás carries out regulatory and voluntary atmospheric checks (self-checks) at all its combustion sites.
The control actions are as follows:
Initial regulatory inspection (conducted by an authorised inspection organisation (AIO)).
Both the regulatory inspections and the internal TESTO checks are planned annually for every facility as part of the Atmospheric Monitoring Programme.

At Enagás there is a governance structure led by the Board of Directors that supervises the company's climate change performance. The Appointments, Remuneration and CSR Committee, through the Sustainability Committee, approves and monitors the CO2 emissions reduction targets linked to variable remuneration as well as initiatives that help achieve said reduction that are included in the Energy Efficiency and Emissions Reduction Plan.
Furthermore, the Audit and Compliance Committee supervises the efficiency of risk control and management systems and assesses the possible impact of climate change through the Risk Committee.
The Sustainability Committee is formed of the main Directorates of the company, among which is the Strategy function, that provides input for the identification of opportunities.
The Health and Safety, Environment and Quality Committee periodically assesses and manages issues related to climate change associated with business processes, impact assessment studies and the evaluation of environmental aspects.
There are also different working groups that report to the Sustainability Committee.
In terms of risk control and management, on the one hand business units are responsible for risk identification and measurement, the risk function controls and manages risks and the Internal Audit Department function supervises the efficiency of the established risk controls (see 'Risk management' chapter).

Risks derived from climate change are evaluated comprehensively in the Company's risk control and management model. In this way, risks related to factors such as policies and regulatory changes to encourage the use of renewable energies are identified and quantified, as well as the effect of temperature, the increase in the volume of emissions and the prices of CO2 and/or the tax burden of CO2 emissions.
The effects of these risks can be compensated by the opportunities the company has identified both in the field of renewable gas development and in new natural gas logistics services.
This has all been evaluated under three climatic scenarios, aligned with global temperature increases: a business as usual scenario with a 4°C temperature increase, a scenario with the 2°C increase committed to at the Paris Climate Summit, and the most extreme scenario with a 6°C global increase in temperature, which would thereby heighten physical risks (natural disasters).

Enagás' Carbon Footprint (scope 1 and 2) is certified in accordance with ISO14064 and has been recorded in the Spanish Ministry for Ecological Transition's carbon footprint register with a 'calculating and reducing' status since 2013.


At a national level, scope 1 emissions have increased by 3.0% mainly due to the increase of gas natural consumption in turbocompressors and venting in compression stations. This increase in energy consumption is due to increased operation in the compression stations, both in the number of hours (+1.8% vs. 2017) and the quantity of gas compressed (+20.2% vs. 2017).
On the other hand, Enagás has made significant efforts to reduce its emissions derived from electricity consumption (scope 2) in its facilities. Electricity consumption has been reduced by 5.6% compared to the previous year, increasing the percentage of electricity supplied with guarantees of origin to 40% in the facilities with the highest consumption. The consumption of electricity produced through efficient, clean and renewable sources (with zero emission factor) has also been increased by 7.4% compared with 2017. However, despite all of these efforts, scope 2 emissions have still increased by 32%. This has been due to the updating of emission factors used (Spanish electric mix and Iberdrola1 ), which have penalised our performance.
In Chile, the Quintero LNG regasification plant has reduced its scope 1 and 2 emissions by 17.9% compared to the previous year.

Approximately 75.3% of the Enagás carbon footprint corresponds to emissions of CO 2 , mainly produced during the combustion of natural gas in stationary sources, i.e. turbocompressors, boilers, flares, etc.
Emissions of CH 4 , which account for approximately 24.5% of this footprint, are mainly due to fugitive emissions (14.8%) and natural gas venting (9.7%). Venting may occur as a result of operation and maintenance, operating safety, pneumatic valves and analysis equipment (chromatographs, etc.).
Almost 50% of total footprint emissions are generated by the selfconsumption of natural gas in turbocompressors in compression stations and underground storage facilities.
50.4% of emissions included in the Carbon Footprint (scopes 1 and 2) are included in the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS).
The Enagás emission rights trading strategy approved by the Board of Directors identified the need to purchase approximately 170,000 rights until 2020. [GRI 201-2]

In addition, in 2018, the company met the target of cutting emissions by 30% over the 2016–2018 period as compared to 2013– 2015, which had been included in long-term variable remuneration.

At Enagás, energy efficiency has a key role in emissions reduction and considerable efforts have been made in this regard. In recent years we have halved our CO2 emissions thanks to the implementation of energy efficiency measures, in which we have invested more than €35Mn. [GRI 201-2]
We are working to ensure the continuous improvement of the energy efficiency of our infrastructures. We have approved a plan to replace turbo-compressors with electric engine-driven compressors in critical Compression Stations, which will result in significant energy savings and, therefore, a long-term emissions reduction.
The Cartagena Port Authority presents Enagás with the 7th Annual Environment Award. The Port of Cartagena acknowledged the company's energy efficiency plan implemented at its Cartagena plant.

Fugitive emissions account for 14.8% of the company's carbon footprint and are responsible for most of its methane emissions.
After several campaigns for the detection, quantification and repair of natural gas leaks in its facilities, Enagás has internalized these actions in the maintenance ranges of its facilities in order to reduce losses from emissions leaks from its activity year after year.
From 2019, Enagás will update the planning and frequency of LDAR campaigns in regasification plants and storage facilities, with the aim of adapting them to the specific needs of these facilities and the lessons learned in previous campaigns. Another important measure that will be incorporated into the maintenance schedule of transmission assets is the incorporation of emission quantifiers as a regular working tool for maintenance. This will be a preventative action in the monitoring and control of emissions in general. For the transmission assets (gas pipeline, regulation and metering stations, sites and compression stations) the pre-established frequencies will be maintained.
Furthermore, Enagás participates in a number of associations actively collaborating in the preparation of reports, studies and research related to methane emissions. The most noteworthy initiatives are the following:
Enagás commits to reaching carbon neutrality in key fields at a strategic level:
Therefore 26,836 tCO2 have been offset through carbon credits created through 2 projects of gas collection and use in landfills, for electricity generation, in Chile and Mexico and one reforestation project in Peru.

Supply chain management is an increasingly critical point in the company's management. Appropriate supply chain management allows us to identify and manage the risks (regulatory, operational, reputational, etc.) associated with it, and to make good use of opportunities for collaboration and value creation shared with our suppliers.
A key focal point in the management of our supply chain is greater knowledge of our suppliers, which allows us to take advantage of opportunities for collaboration and share value creation with them. Likewise, greater information on our supply chain enables us to identify and manage the associated risks more efficiently.

REPORT
About our Consolidated Management Report
In order to work with Enagás, suppliers must undergo a strict approval process. The company currently works with 1,382 approved suppliers, which are classified in families according to the products or services they offer1 .
Executive Chairman
Product and service families are classified into levels according to the impact on the safety of the company's operations resulting from poor functioning or poor service. The suppliers of products and services whose possible faults or poor service would entail a greater impact on the company's operational safety are designated major or critical (level 1 and 2) suppliers.
Enagás has 902 approved major suppliers. In 2018, we began working with 19 new suppliers and stopped working with 29 suppliers because they discontinued their activity, merged with third parties or for breach of contract. [GRI 102-10]
| Works and services | Supplies | |
|---|---|---|
| Number of orders | 3,886 (97% of which were local) | 6,263 (99% of which were local) |
| Order value (€Mn) | 128.4 (91% of which were local) | 62.6 (72% of which were local) |
(1) The amount corresponding to orders by the GNL Quintero plant in Chile account for 8% of the Enagás total, therefore this chapter does not include the information relative to the GNL Quintero supply chain. Supply chain management in Chile follows similar approval and ESE assessment processes to those described in this chapter.
Enagás has identified areas in supply chain management where there may be risks for the business and our stakeholders. These areas, which cover both economic and ESE aspects, form the basis for the assessments we perform on our suppliers in the different procurement processes. The areas analysed are: [GRI 308-2, GRI 414-2]
In 2018, Enagás implemented a new supplier management model that includes the company's goals in order to guarantee supply chain sustainability. These goals are translated into authorisation requirements depending on the level of risk in the economic, social and environmental aspects of the family of products and services to which each supplier belongs.
Enagás currently has 1,382 approved suppliers who guarantee the sustainability of its supply chain

5.9 Local communities [GRI 103-1, GRI 103-2, GRI 103-3]
Sustainable Management Plan
Relations with local communities are of concern to the company, since our activities impact the communities in which we operate. They encourage competitiveness in the industry, enhance energy supply security and create direct and indirect employment. We carry out our activity guaranteeing the safety of infrastructure, minimising impacts on ecosystems and the population.
The most relevant aspects of managing relations with local communities are the identification of local stakeholders, the information and consultation processes we carry out in infrastructure development activities and action plans (social investment).
23 corporate volunteering initiatives
social action investment with respect to profit
2,780 hours of corporate volunteering
413 employees took part in corporate volunteering initiatives

In local communities where Enagás develops and operates infrastructure, the company's priority is to contribute to the their social and economic development and to minimise environmental impact while guaranteeing safety.
For this purpose, the first stages of building, operation and maintenance projects involve analysis of the area in terms of social, economic and environmental aspects, from which local stakeholders are identified.
This enables stakeholder maps to be created for the management of crises and emergencies affecting infrastructure, in which key collectives, communication channels and relevant issues are identified (see the chapter on 'Health and Safety').
Furthermore, the analysis of the needs of the area enabled the identification of key collectives and associations (NGOs, local councils, etc.) which are an important source of information for understanding the local context and for the establishment of partnerships (see 'Social investment' in this chapter).
Enagás conducts environmental impact studies for construction projects and assessment of environmental aspects for infrastructure operation and maintenance projects. Environmental impact studies are open to public information and are also subject to processes of consultation in which stakeholders may voice their opinion and even propose modifications to a project. EMAS-certified facilities publish an annual report (Barcelona and Cartagena regasification plants and Yela and Serrablo underground storage facilities).
In the case of gas pipeline construction projects, the route design already takes into account criteria for minimising the impact on local plant and animal wildlife, and for avoiding the occupation of private property. Where the latter is concerned, a regulated procedure is applicable in Spain which includes public information and consultation with the entities affected, which guarantees transparency in the construction of infrastructure and equal treatment before the law. [GRI 413-2, GRI OG10]
In matters pertaining to infrastructure safety, Enagás creates internal emergency plans, which include information on stored chemical substances, human and material resources, scenarios, emergency plans, liability, etc. These plans are registered with the local government authorities, which are responsible for communicating them to the community and creating an associated action plan.
Enagás also holds information sessions in local areas for the purpose of explaining details of projects that are being executed locally, and safety and environment-related issues, among others.
As regards Enagás affiliate companies, a number of specific audits were conducted in 2018 in relation to local communities in order to verify that the communication between the affiliates and their communities was carried out in an adequately controlled environment (identification of the integrity of the communities, complaint management, transfer of relevant information, communication channel, etc.). It was also verified that the governance programmes of the affiliate companies reflected and adequately included the most relevant aspects of the relationship with the local communities in question.

(*) No working days were lost in Chile in 2018 owing to own employee work-related accidents.
(**) There was a fatal accident at the GNL Quintero regasification plant in Chile involving a contractor carrying out maintenance activities on a seawater intake tower. Two investigations conducted, one internally and the other externally by the ABS Consulting firm concluded that the death of the diving supervisor was the result of the victim's imprudence. As a consequence of this accident, the Underwater Activities Procedure, the HSSE standards for high-risk activities and the risk matrix were updated; seawater intake maintenance operations were optimised; a protective structure was installed at the seawater intake; and the work permit system and contracting administrator training were enhanced. In July 2018, Instituto Cerdá conducted a post-crisis analysis,concluding with a recommendation report that is being addressed.

Up to and including 2017, Enagás was a member of the Integrated Reporting Business Network.
Enagás is committed to integrated reporting as a way of clearly and concisely presenting relevant issues affecting the company's capacity to create and maintain value in the present and future.
Since 2012, Enagás has been progressing towards an integrated report in its Annual Reports.
The report reflects key strategic aspects such as the positioning of Enagás in a low-carbon economy and the context of operation, which includes the outlook for the natural gas sector and the impact they will have on business, based on those established by the company's growth drivers.
In addition, our long-term vision is included, positioning the company with a sustainable business model, which is based on the role of natural gas as the key to achieving sustainable, safe and efficient energy, renewable gases and the creation of value in affiliate companies, as well as in areas such as digitalisation and corporate entrepreneurship and innovation.
The company also identified the main risks derived in the context of operation and of its business model. Furthermore, it includes the outlook from the Executive Chairman regarding the ability of the company to meet its long and short-term goals, providing an assessment of past performance and on future growth and strategies.
The commitment of leaders responsible for sustainability and opportunity and risk management, together with the performance and targets in each of the material issues, shows that the company is prepared to deliver its strategy, i.e. how to generate value in the present and in the future.

Enagás Annual Report 2018
The report reflects the relationship between different information blocks, primarily:
The long-term vision, the context of operation and the business model, from which the company's perceived risks, opportunities, pillars of growth and strategy are derived.
Strategy and Corporate Governance, through which we leverage opportunities and manage risks, all of which is aimed at creating value, while taking into account the impact on business and society.
The company's short and long-term objectives, aligned with the strategic drivers and linked to employees' variable remuneration, through which we ensure compliance with the strategy.
The management of risks and opportunities, along with their impact, and the controls and mitigating actions in various areas of management.
Our value creation process, prepared in accordance with the capital model, includes in the different chapters the main inputs and impacts on the material topics generated by our activity (see the 'Creating value for our stakeholders' section). This section is also linked with our contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), in which we identify those SDG to which we contribute through our activity, management models, polices and corporate guidelines and performance (see the chapter 'Enagás in 2018').
Also included are navigation icons, hyperlinks and crossreferences that facilitate reading and understanding of the connections between different contents.
ANNUAL DIRECTORS' REMUNERATION REPORT
Enagás' Annual Report 2018 targets its main stakeholders. The Enagás stakeholder map is aligned with corporate strategy.
Enagás has identified its stakeholders classified according to the different areas of relationship, identified by material topics.
As in previous years, the 2018 Annual Report has been drafted applying the principles of standard AA1000: inclusivity, materiality and responsiveness.
The report contains all the necessary information to be able to respond to the information relevant to the main stakeholders.
In 2018, Enagás updated its sustainability strategy (see the chapter 'Sustainability') and performed a materiality analysis. The outcome of this analysis was that Enagás identified those material topics that bring together the main interests and concerns of stakeholders. This Report provides detailed information concerning each material issue in the respective chapters of the section 'Creation of value for our stakeholders'.
Furthermore, the critical management standards that Enagás evaluates in its affiliates are identified. These are based on the material topics of the company (see the chapter 'Affiliate Management Model').
Finally, following Enagás' takeover of GNL Quintero Chile in 2018, information about this affiliate has been consolidated in this report.
In 2018, Enagás has updated its sustainability strategy and a materiality analysis has been carried out

Enagás Annual Report 2018
For the purpose of only including material topics in the Annual Report, the Consolidated Management Report and its detailed information was separated from the Consolidated Annual Accounts, Annual Corporate Governance Report and Annual Directors' Remuneration Report.
Interview with the Executive Chairman
The Integrated Annual Report includes the more relevant data from these publications.
At the same time, the corporate website includes other aspects that constitute non-material information or static information (management models, policies, etc.).
Both the financial and non-financial information from 2018 was audited and verified, respectively, by the same auditors: EY.
EY audits our financial statements and examines information relating to the ICFR system, expressing an opinion on its effectiveness.
They also verify non-financial information with a limited level of assurance and a reasonable level of assurance for the following indicators:
Enagás is continuing to review its indicators so as to achieve higher levels of assurance in the future.
The 2018 Annual Report takes account of the content and indicators recommended in the GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), particularly with regard to the Oil & Gas sector supplement. Therefore, it provides an internal and external benchmark for comparison based on internationally recognised principles and content.
Furthermore, the indicators included in the 2018 Annual Report are defined so as to facilitate comparison with reports for prior year and other companies in the sector, using studies, CSR indices and benchmarking projects as references.
Furthermore, customer satisfaction surveys are standardised for the respondents in terms of structure and rating levels, to facilitate comparison with other companies in the energy sector. Enagás is also involved in a benchmarking project with natural gas transmission companies internationally to compare the occupational health and safety, and environmental indicators, among others.

Tel: 915 727 200 Fax: 915 727 238 ey.com
To the shareholders of ENAGÁS, S.A.:
In accordance with article 49 of the Commercial Code, we have verified, with a limited scope, the Consolidated Non-Financial Statement (hereinafter NFS) for the year ended December 31, 2018 of ENAGÁS, S.A. and subsidiaries (hereinafter the Group), which is part of the Group's accompanying Consolidated Management Report
The content of the Consolidated Management Report contains information in addition to that required by prevailing company law in respect of non-financial information that was not included in the scope of our assurance work. Consequently, our work was limited exclusively to verifying the information identified in the "Non-financial and diversity reporting requirements (Spanish Law 11/2018)" table and in conformity with the "GRI Standards content index" included in the accompanying Consolidated Management Report.
The preparation of the NFS included in the Group's Consolidated Management Report and its content is the responsibility of the directors of ENAGÁS, S.A. The NFS was prepared in accordance with the content required by prevailing company law and in conformity with the criteria outlined in the GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards (GRI standards), comprehensive option, as well as other criteria, including the GRI Oil and Gas sector supplement, described as explained for each subject matter in the "Non-financial and diversity reporting requirements (Spanish Law 11/2018)" table, in conformity with the "GRI Standards content index" of said report, and in accordance with principles stated in AA1000 AP (2018) issued by AccountAbility (Institute of Social and Ethical Accountability).
This responsibility likewise includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of the internal control considered necessary to ensure that the NFS is free of material misstatement, due to fraud or error.
The directors of ENAGÁS, S.A. are also responsible for defining, implementing, adapting, and maintaining the management systems from which the necessary information for preparing the NFS is obtained.
We have complied with the independence and other Code of Ethics requirements for accounting professionals issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA), which are based on the fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality, and professional behavior.
Domicilio Social: Calle de Raimundo Fernández Villaverde, 65. 28003 Madrid - Inscrita en el Registro Mercantil de Madrid, tomo 9.364 general, 8.130 de la sección 3ª del Libro de Sociedades, folio 68, hoja nº 87.690-1, inscripción 1ª. C.I.F. B-78970506. A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited.

Our firm applies International Standard on Quality Control 1 (ISQC 1), and consequently maintains a global quality control system which includes documented policies and procedures relating to compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards, and the legal and applicable regulatory provisions.
The EY team is made up of experts in non-financial information engagements and specifically, information on economic, social, and environmental performance.
Our responsibility is to express our conclusions on the Independent Assurance Report with limited assurance, based on the work performed, which refers exclusively to the 2018 financial year. Prior year data were not reviewed in compliance with prevailing company law.
We have carried out our work in accordance with the requirements established in the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 (revised), "Assurance Engagements Other than Audits and Review of Historical Financial Information" issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) of the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) and the Guidelines on performing non-financial statement assurance engagements issued by Spain's Institute of Auditors and AA1000 AS (2008), with a moderate level of type 2 assurance.
In a limited assurance engagement, the procedures carried out vary in their nature and timing, and are less in extent than those carried out for a reasonable assurance engagement. Consequently, the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is also substantially lower.
Our work consisted in making inquiries of management and of the Group's various business units participating in the preparation of the NFS, reviewing the processes for compiling and validating the information presented therein, and applying certain analytical procedures and sample review tests as described in general terms below. These procedures included:

In addition, with respect to GRI indicators GRI 102-41, GRI 401-1, GRI 403-2, GRI 404-1, and GRI 405-1, our responsibility is to express an opinion, for which we have carried out reasonable assurance work. The work entailed understanding the internal control system relevant to the aforementioned indicators contained in the NFS, assessing the risk of material errors that the indicators might contain, testing and evaluating their content, as well as performing other procedures we considered necessary in the circumstances. We consider that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In addition, we reviewed the adequacy of the structure and content in accordance with the principles established in standard AA1000 AP (2018), with a moderate level of type 2 assurance.
Based on the limited assurance procedures conducted and the evidence obtained, no matter has come to our attention that would cause us to believe that the Group's NFS for the year ended December 31, 2018 has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the contents required by prevailing company law and the criteria established by the GRI standards, comprehensive option, as well as other criteria, including the GRI Oil and Gas sector supplement, described as explained for each subject matter in the "Non-financial and diversity reporting requirements (Spanish Law 11/2018)" table and in conformity with the GRI content index of the Consolidated Management Report.
In addition, in our opinion, GRI indicators GRI 102-41, GRI 401-1, GRI 403-2, GRI 404-1, and GRI 405-1, reviewed with a reasonable level of assurance, are prepared and presented, in all material respects, in accordance with the GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards (GRI standards), comprehensive option, described as explained for each subject matter in the GRI Standards content index of said report.
With regard to the application of the principles established in standard AA1000 AP (2018), no matter has come to our attention that would cause us to believe that the Group has not applied the principles of inclusivity, materiality, responsiveness, and impact, as explained under "About our consolidated Management Report."
We presented our recommendations to Enagás management regarding areas of improvement related to the application of standard AA1000 AP (2018). The most significant recommendations are summarized below:

This report was prepared in response to the requirement established by prevailing company law in Spain and may not be appropriate for other uses and jurisdictions.

Enagás Annual Report 2018
The financial information disclosed by Enagás contains figures and measurements prepared in line with applicable accounting legislation, in addition to a series of measurements prepared in accordance with reporting standards established and developed internally, known as Alternative Performance Measures (APMs).
These APMs are considered to be adjusted figures compared to those disclosed under International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted in the EU (IFRS -EU), which is the applicable accounting framework for the Enagás Group's consolidated financial statements. They should therefore be considered by the reader to supplement but not replace them.
APMs are important for users of financial information as they are the measures used by Enagás management to assess financial performance, cash flows and financial position for the Group's operational or strategic decision -making. These APMs are consistent with the main indicators used by the investment and analyst community in the capital markets.
In this respect, and in accordance with the provisions of the Guidelines issued by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), in force since 3 July 2016, concerning the transparency of Alternative Performance Measures, Enagás provides information below related to those APMs included in the management information for the fourth quarter of 2018 that it considers significant.
For the sake of clarity, reference is made herein to the concept referred to as "Stand Alone". This has also been used by the Enagás management to refer to pro forma financial information, which integrates the stake in GNL Quintero through the equity method.
EBITDA ("Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization") is an indicator that measures a company's operating income before the deduction of interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation. By stripping out financial and tax figures, and accounting costs that do not imply a cash outflow, this indicator is used by Management to assess the company's earnings over time and compare them with those of other companies in its sector.
EBITDA is calculated as Operating profit (loss) plus depreciation and amortisation, in addition to any impairment, and other items that do not imply cash inflows or outflows in Enagás' operations (such as capital gains or losses on disposals, provisions, etc.)
The reconciliation from Operating Income seen in the financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2018 is shown below:
| Q4 2018 | Q4 2018 | Q4 2018 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stand - Alone |
Quintero | Overall | |
| Operating income | 1,168 | 173 | 1,342 |
| 7 | 5 | 2 | |
| Affiliate results (*) | 117 | -23 | 93 |
| 0 | 8 | 2 (*) | |
| Operating expenses | -342 | -32 | -374 |
| 3 | 5 | 7 | |
| EBITDA | 943 | 117 | 1,060 |
| 5 | 2 | 7 | |
1
(*) For management purposes, the concept "Affiliate results" presented as part of the operating income, shown as 93.2 million euros (117.0 million euros Stand -Alone), does not include the impact of the amortisation of the purchase price allocation (PPA) for the sum of 22.2 million euro s, which is regarded as the largest amortisation expense and is therefore excluded from EBITDA. Jointly, these two concepts would amount to 71.0 million euros (867million euros Stand -Alone), as indicated in the income statement of the consolidated financial statements for the period ended 3 1 December 2018.
Adjusted EBITDA is an indicator that measures the company's operating income before the deduction of interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation, and includes dividends received as interest on subordinated debt from associates that are accounted for by the Enagás Group using the equity method.
This measure is used by the Management to calculate the leverage ratios described in the section "Alternative Performance Measures relating to the balance sheet and leverage ratios", enabling them to be compared with other sector companies. The reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA for Q4 2018 is shown below, which is used to calculated leverage ratios:
| Stand - Alone |
Overall |
|---|---|
| Q4 2018 | Q4 2018 |
| ADJUSTED EBITDA | 950 0 |
1 ,069 8 |
|---|---|---|
| Affiliate Results (**) | -117 0 |
-93 2 |
| Dividends (*) | 123 6 |
102 3 |
| EBITDA | 943 5 |
1 ,060 7 |
(*) This basically refers to dividends received from companies accounted for using the equity method (89.9 million euros during 2018 with GNL Quintero by Global integration). Interest on subordinated debt charged to affiliates is also included (12.5 million euros). (**) Since the dividends received from affiliates are indicated here, the share of profit/(loss) of these companies is excluded and included instead in EBITDA, as explained in the previous section.
EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Taxes) is an indicator that measures a company's operating income before the deduction of interest and taxes. As with the previous indicator, it is used by Management to assess the company's earnings over time, and compare them with those of other companies in its sector.
EBIT is calculated the same way as EBITDA, deducting depreciation and amortisation, in addition to any impairment, as well as other items that do not imply cash inflows or outflows in Enagás operations (such as capital gains or losses on disposals, provisions, etc).
The EBIT for Q4 201 8 reached 691.0 million euros, 72.4 million euros of which correspond to GNL Quintero. This figure matches the operating income for that period

Net financial debt or net debt is the main indicator used by Management to measure the level of the Group's debt. It is gross debt less cash.
Gross debt calculated by aggregating "Bank borrowings", "Bonds and other marketable securities" measured at amortised cost and "Other financial liabilities". In the case of the latter, only the loans from the General Industry Secretariat, the General Energy Secretariat and Oman Oil are included.
The cash amount is taken from the consolidated balance sheet heading "Cash and cash equivalents".
The reconciliation between the APM and the figures corresponding to the interim consolidated balance sheet for the period ending 31 December 2018 are shown below (in millions of euros
| Q4 2018 Stand-Alone |

|---|---|---|
| Cash and cash equivalents | 829.4 | 1,171.5 |

| Other long-term loans (2) | -3.9 | -3.9 |
| Net debt | -3,630.1 | -4,274.7 |
(1) The Stand Alone information has been adjusted to reflect the amortised costs of the Aflac Bond, which is +14.6 million euros. In addition to this adjustment, the Overall information has been adjusted to reflect the amortised cost of the GNL Quintero debt, which is -4.3 million euros.
(2) The amount included in this section concerning the loans from the General Energy and Industry Secretariat, the General Energy Secretariat and Oman Oil 3.9 million euros.
Management uses two key figures to analyse the leverage and capacity of the Group to meet financial obligations over time, and compare them with those of other companies in its sector.
The ratio linked to leverage is calculated as net debt/adjusted EBITDA, as follows:

3. Alternative Performance Measures relating to cash flow and investments
FFO is the main cash flow generation indicator analysed by Enagás Management since it jointly measures cash generation in the regulated and unregulated domestic business and in the international business in the form of dividends from affiliates or interest charged on subordinated debt extended to these companies, after deducting both the payment of taxes and interest relating to the Group's financial debt.
FFO = EBITDA discounting results from affiliates +/- taxes received/paid +/ interest received/paid + dividends received from affiliates + interest on subordinated debt charged to affiliates.
FFO for Q4 2018 amounted to 805.2 million euros. The reconciliation between this APM and the figures indicated in consolidated the financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2018 is shown below:
| Q4 2018 | Q4 2018 Global |
||
|---|---|---|---|
| Stand Alone | |||
| Operating income | 618.7 | 691.0 | |
| Depreciation and amortisation (*) | 324.8 | 369.7 | |
| EBITDA | 943.5 | 1,060.7 | |
| Taxes received /(paid) | -124.0 | -124.0 | |
| Interest received/paid (**) | -79.4 | -118.9 | |
| Dividends (**) | 123.6 | 102.3 | |
| Other adjustments | -21.6 | -21.7 | |
| Affiliate results (*) | -117.0 | -93.2 | |
| Funds From Operations (FFO) | 725.0 | 805.2 |
(*) For management purposes, in addition to the provision for impairment of assets, the concept "Provisions for depreciation and amortisation" also includes the impact of the amortisation of the purchase price allocation (PPA), which is (22.2 million euros) in column Global (30.3 million euros Stand Alone). (**)Interest on subordinated debt charged to affiliates (12.5 million euros) is included, for management
purposes, under "Dividends."
Operating cash flow measures the company's capacity to generate operating cash flow after changes in working capital. The calculation is based on FFO and includes changes in working capital.
