ENEL 1H 2016 ORDINARY EBITDA UP 3.1% AND NET ORDINARY INCOME UP 8.6%, DRIVEN BY POSITIVE ITALY AND LATAM PERFORMANCE

  • Revenues: 34,150 million euros (37,632 million euros in the first half of 2015, -9.3%)
  • Decline reflects lower revenues from electricity sales in mature markets, reduced trading activity, negative foreign exchange effect and a lower impact from extraordinary items
  • EBITDA: 8,053 million euros (7,961 million euros in the first half of 2015, +1.2%)
  • Increase due to improved margins in Italy and Latin America, in particular in end-user markets and conventional generation respectively, which more than offset negative exchange rate developments, a decline in the generation and trading margins in Iberia and the different impact of extraordinary items
  • Ordinary EBITDA: 7,929 million euros (7,688 million euros in the first half of 2015, +3.1%), net of extraordinary items relating to disposals
  • Net of one-off items, ordinary EBITDA increased by 5.2% on a like-for-like basis notwithstanding negative foreign exchange effect
  • EBIT: 5,210 million euros (5,084 million euros in the first half of 2015, +2.5%) Takes account of lower depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses
  • Group net income: 1,834 million euros (1,833 million euros in the first half of 2015, +0.1%)
  • Largely unchanged from the first half of 2015, mainly due to improved EBIT, lower taxes and a reduction in non-controlling interests, all of which was partially offset by higher net financial expenses
  • Group net ordinary income: 1,742 million euros (1,604 million euros in the first half of 2015, +8.6%)
  • Net of one-off items, Group net ordinary income increased by 13.0% on a like-for-like basis
  • Net financial debt: 38,138 million euros (37,545 million euros at the end of 2015, +1.6%)
  • Increased due to higher investments in the period and payment of dividends
  • Enel has revised upwards its 2016 financial targets outlined in the Group's 2016-2019 Strategic Plan in light of the first half 2016 results and of the forecasts for the second half of the year
  • Ordinary EBITDA to around 15 billion euros from approx. 14.7 billion euros
  • Group net ordinary income to around 3.2 billion euros from approx. 3.1 billion euros
  • FFO/Net debt ratio to around 25% from approx. 23%

Francesco Starace, Chief Executive Officer and General Manager of Enel, said: "We have delivered a strong set of results in the first half of the year, with the Italian and Latin American markets showing particularly pleasing progress, in spite of a challenging set of macro-economic conditions. We have also taken some important steps forward on the execution of our strategic plan, in particular in the area of active portfolio management where we have now finalised over 4 billion euros of disposals, which is around 70% of the five-year target. Our renewables business continues its successful run of awards and we have a strong pipeline of development. Looking forward to the second half of the year, this performance enhances our confidence on the year end results, and consequently we are raising our full year guidance."

Rome, July 28th, 2016 – The Board of Directors of Enel S.p.A. ("Enel"), chaired by Patrizia Grieco, has today examined and approved the half-year financial report as of June 30th, 2016.

Consolidated financial highlights for the first half of 2016

REVENUES

The following table reports revenues by business area:

Revenues (millions of euros) 2016 2015 Change
Italy 17,210 18,878 -8.8%
Iberia 9,014 10,199 -11.6%
Latin America 4,983 5,406 -7.8%
Eastern Europe 2,228 2,374 -6.1%
Renewable Energy 1,408 1,593 -11.6%
Other, eliminations and
adjustments
(693) (818) 15.3%
TOTAL 34,150 37,632 -9.3%
  • Revenues in the first half of 2016 decreased by 3,482 million euros on the same period of 2015, essentially reflecting:
  • a reduction in revenues from the sale of electricity in the mature markets despite the increase in sales volumes;
  • a decline in electricity trading activities in international markets;
  • a negative foreign exchange rate effect, which had a significant impact mainly in Latin America.
  • Revenues in the first half of 2016 included as a sole extraordinary item the 124 million euro gain posted on the disposal of Hydro Dolomiti Enel. In the second quarter of 2016, this amount was adjusted following the finalisation of the price adjustment. In turn, revenues in the first half of 2015 included the following extraordinary items:

  • the 141 million euro gain on the disposal of Se Hydropower

  • the negative goodwill and concomitant remeasurement at fair value of the interest already held by the Group following the acquisition of 3Sun for 132 million euros.

EBITDA

The following table reports EBITDA by business area:

EBITDA (millions of euros) 2016 2015 Change
Italy 3,329 3,141 6.0%
Iberia 1,856 1,969 -5.7%
Latin America 1,625 1,437 13.1%
Eastern Europe 353 392 -9.9%
Renewable Energy 920 1,078 -14.7%
Other, eliminations and
adjustments
(30) (56) 46.4%
TOTAL 8,053 7,961 1.2%
  • EBITDA for the first half of 2016 increased by 92 million euros on the first half of 2015. More specifically, the change reflected:
  • an increase in the margin posted in Latin America and Italy, especially in conventional generation and end-user markets respectively.

This factor more than offset:

  • negative exchange rate developments (392 million euros), reflecting the depreciation of a number of currencies, notably in Latin America and Russia, against the euro;
  • a reduction in generation and trading margins in Iberia;
  • extraordinary items noted above in the revenues section which did not contribute in the same way in the two periods under comparison.

ORDINARY EBITDA

The following table reports Ordinary EBITDA by business area:

Ordinary EBITDA (millions of euros) 2016 2015 Change
Italy 3,205 3,000 6.8%
Iberia 1,856 1,969 -5.7%
Latin America 1,625 1,437 13.1%
Eastern Europe 353 392 -9.9%
Renewable Energy 920 946 -2.7%
Other, eliminations and adjustments (30) (56) 46.4%
TOTAL 7,929 7,688 3.1%

Bearing in mind that EBITDA for the first half of 2016 and for the first half of 2015 include the same extraordinary items discussed under revenues, ordinary EBITDA amounted to 7,929 million euros, an increase of 3.1% on the first half of 2015. Furthermore, net of the one-off items illustrated below, ordinary EBITDA was 7,812 million euros, a 5.2% increase on the 7,426 million euros posted in the first half of 2015 notwithstanding the negative foreign exchange rate effect.

One-off items in the first half of 2016 relate to: an overall 114 million euros in Iberia relating to Ecotax reimbursement in Extremadura region, provision release and capital gain on the disposal of reinsurance company Compostilla RE and 3 million euros of other minor items. In the first half of 2015, one-off items related to: an overall 207 million euros in Iberia relating to gains from CO2 swap transaction and Ecotax reimbursement on Almaraz power plant, 48 million euros of contributions received in Argentina under Resolución 32/15, bad weather extra costs in distribution in Italy for 16 million euros and 23 million euros of other minor items.

EBIT

EBIT (millions of euros) 2016 2015 Change
Italy 2,335 2,139 9.2%
Iberia 1,047 1,159 -9.7%
Latin America 1,180 948 24.5%
Eastern Europe 194 211 -8.1%
Renewable Energy 554 697 -20.5%
Other, eliminations and
adjustments
(100) (70) -42.9%
TOTAL 5,210 5,084 2.5%

The following table reports EBIT by business area:

EBIT for the first half of 2016 increased by 126 million euros on the same period of 2015, taking account of a 34 million euro decrease in depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses. This drop mainly reflected the impact on depreciation of the impairment recognised on property, plant and equipment in previous years and a reduction in net value adjustments of trade receivables.

GROUP NET INCOME

In the first half of 2016, Group net income amounted to 1,834 million euros, essentially unchanged yearon-year from the 1,833 million euros posted in the corresponding period of 2015.

  • The increase in EBIT was accompanied by:
  • lower taxes compared to the first half of 2015 mainly attributable to the reduction in the tax rate in Spain. This reduction was partially offset by the different impact in the two periods under exam of a number of items generated by extraordinary transactions subject to the so-called "Participation Exemption Regime" or PEX;
  • lower impact of non-controlling interests associated with the partial non-proportional

demerger of Enel Green Power in favour of Enel, following which the latter, starting with the second quarter of 2016, purchased 100% of Enel Green Power and of Enel Green Power International. Following the transaction, Enel also increased its stake in those companies held directly and indirectly by Enel Green Power and Enel Green Power International.

These effects were only partly offset by higher net financial expenses, mainly due to one-off items recorded in Argentina and the net balance between derivatives and exchange rate differences, the effects of which more than offset the reduction in financial charges on debt.

GROUP NET ORDINARY INCOME in the first half of 2016 amounted to 1,742 million euros, an increase of 138 million euros (+8.6%) on the same period of 2015. Excluding one-off items as shown in the ordinary EBITDA section, Group net ordinary income amounted to 1,674 million euros in the first half of 2016, a 193 million euro increase (+13.0%) on the 1,481 million euros posted in the first half of 2015. These one-off items have had a positive effect on Group net ordinary income equal to 68 million euros in the first half of 2016 and 123 million euros in the first half of 2015.

FINANCIAL POSITION

The financial position shows net capital employed as of June 30th, 2016 of 90,789 million euros (89,296 million euros as of December 31st, 2015).

This is funded by:

  • equity pertaining to shareholders of the Parent Company and non-controlling interests of 52,651 million euros (51,751 million euros as of December 31st, 2015);
  • net financial debt of 38,138 million euros (37,545 million euros as of December 31st, 2015), an increase of 593 million euros, negatively affected by the funding requirements of investments during the period and the payment of dividends.

As of June 30th, 2016, the debt/equity ratio came to 0.72 (0.73 as of December 31st, 2015).

Capital expenditure (millions of
euros)
2016 2015 Change
Italy 642 616 4.2%
Iberia 396 356 11.2%
Latin America 585 791 -26.0%

OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE FIRST HALF OF 2016

2016 2015 Change
Electricity sales (TWh) 131.0 127.7 2.6%
Gas sales (billions of m3
)
5.7 5.3 7.5%
Electricity generated (TWh) 128.2 139.6 -8.2%
Electricity distributed (TWh) 209.5 207.4 1.0%
Employees (no.) 66,666 67,914 -1.8%

Electricity and gas sales

  • Electricity sales in the first half of 2016 increased by 3.3 TWh on the corresponding period of the previous year. More specifically, this increase reflects:
  • higher quantities sold in Italy (+3.7 TWh) and Latin America (+0.6 TWh); lower sales in France (-0.8 TWh).
  • Natural gas sales increased by 0.4 billion m 3 on the first half of 2015, mainly in Spain.

Electricity generated

  • Net electricity generated by Enel in the first half of 2016 decreased by 11.4 TWh on the corresponding period of 2015 , attributable to a decline in generation in Italy (-4.9 TWh) and the other countries (-6.5 TWh). More specifically, the change reflects:
  • the lower contribution from thermal generation due to the drop in demand and low wholesale energy prices in Italy and Iberia;
  • a reduction in hydropower generation, which in 2016 was mainly affected by lower water availability in a number of countries (-1.3 TWh). This effect were partly offset by an increase in generation from other renewable resources, mainly due to the growth of installed capacity.
  • The reduction in net generation outside of Italy reflects a decline in the output of plants in Iberia and Eastern Europe:
  • Iberia: -5 TWh, mainly attributable to Endesa;
  • Eastern Europe: -3 TWh.

Generation mix of Enel Group plants:

The Enel Group confirms its long-term objective of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. Renewable energy generation is expected to contribute nearly half of the Group's estimated total capacity of 83 GW by 2019.

Electricity distributed

  • Electricity transported on the Enel distribution network in the first half of 2016 totalled 209.5 TWh
  • of which 109.8 TWh in Italy and 99.7 TWh in the other countries.
  • The volume of electricity distributed in Italy decreased by 0.4 TWh (-0.4%) on the first half of 2015:
  • performing slightly better than electricity demand on the overall Italian grid.
  • Electricity distributed outside of Italy amounted to 99.7 TWh, an increase of 2.5 TWh (+2.6%) on the same period of 2015:
  • mainly reflecting an increase in quantities transported in Iberia (+1.8 TWh) and Latin America (+0.6 TWh), especially in Argentina, which experienced a cold snap in May 2016.

EMPLOYEES

As of June 30th, 2016, Enel Group employees numbered 66,666 (67,914 as of December 31st, 2015). This decrease of 1,248 is entirely attributable to the net balance of new hires and terminations in the period.

*****

OUTLOOK

The second quarter of 2016 confirmed the positive trend of the first quarter, with major progress achieved for each of the objectives of the 2016-2019 strategic plan that was updated in November 2015.

In the remainder of 2016, in line with the industrial targets set out in the plan, Enel expects:

  • Further development of the efficiency improvement programme in all Global Business Lines;
  • The contribution to EBITDA of growth investments to be executed in the second half of the year, as well as the contribution to EBITDA from plants that entered service in the first half of 2016;
  • The start of installation of new-generation smart meters in Italy and the implementation of the strategic plan of Enel OpEn Fiber;
  • Within the Group structure simplification project:
  • the completion, by the fourth quarter of 2016, of the corporate restructuring in Latin America, which aims to separate generation and distribution operations in Chile from those in the other Latin American countries;
  • the optimisation of Enel's corporate presence in Spain's renewables sector, which started with the acquisition by Endesa Generación of the entire share capital of Enel Green Power España;
  • Active asset portfolio management also with the completion of the first phase of the disposal of Slovenské elektrárne.

Based on the key pillars outlined above, thanks to the contribution registered in the first half of 2016 (which also benefit from the Slovenskè eléktrane consolidation in the first half of 2016 that was not envisaged in the strategic plan's assumptions) and the expected progress for the remainder of the year – especially in Latin American activities, the global retail segment and in cash generation and net debt reduction – Enel has revised upwards its performance and financial targets for 2016 outlined in the Group's 2016-2019 Strategic Plan.

In the following table, alongside the revised 2016 targets, the unchanged targets for 2017 are also provided.

2016 2017 CAGR 15-19
Ordinary EBITDA Billions of euros ~15.0 ~15.5 ~4%
Net ordinary income Billions of euros ~3.2 ~3.4 ~10%
Minimum dividend euros/share 0.18 ~17%
Pay-out % 55 60 ~7%
FFO / Net financial debt % 25 26 ~6%

NOTES

At 18:00 CET today, July 28th, 2016, a conference call will be held to present the results for the first half of 2016 to financial analysts and institutional investors. Journalists are also invited to listen in on the call. Documentation relating to the conference call will be available on Enel's website (www.enel.com) in the Investor section from the beginning of the call.

The income statement, the statement of comprehensive income, the balance sheet and the cash flow statement for the Enel Group are attached below. These statements and the explanatory notes were delivered to the independent auditor for evaluation. A descriptive summary of the alternative performance indicators is also attached.

The officer responsible for the preparation of the corporate financial reports, Alberto De Paoli, certifies, pursuant to Article 154-bis, paragraph 2, of the Consolidated Financial Act, that the accounting information contained in this press release corresponds with that contained in the accounting documentation, books and records.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND CHANGES IN SCOPE OF CONSOLIDATION

There were no changes to accounting standards that generated accounting effects that would need to be reported here. Unless otherwise specified, the balance sheet figures as of June 30th, 2016, exclude assets and liabilities held for sale, which regard Slovenské elektrárne and other residual assets that on the basis of the status of negotiations for their sale to third parties meet the requirements of IFRS 5 for such classification. In the first half of 2016, the disposals of Hydro Dolomiti Enel and Compostilla, which had been classified as held for sale as of December 31st, 2015, were completed.

The operating segment figures have been constructed on the basis of the organisational structure of the Group in place until April 8th, 2016, which is entirely analogous to that used for reporting purposes in 2015. The organisational structure was modified on April 8th, 2016, partly in relation to the full integration of Enel Green Power. More specifically, the main organisational changes include:

  • The reorganisation of the Group's geographical presence, with a focus on the countries that represent new business opportunities around the world and in which the Group's presence was previously established through Enel Green Power. The Group has therefore shifted from a matrix of four geographical areas to one with six such areas. The structure retains the Country "Italy" and the areas "Iberia" and "Latin America", while the Eastern Europe area has been expanded into the "Europe and North Africa" area. Two new geographical areas have also been created: "North and Central America" and "Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia". These six areas will continue to maintain a presence and integrate businesses at the local level, seeking to foster the development of all segments of the value chain. At the geographical level, the position of Country Manager will be unified in countries in which the Group operates in both the conventional and renewable generation businesses;
  • The convergence of the entire hydropower business within the Renewable Energy business line;
  • The integrated management of dispatching of all renewable and thermal generation plants by Energy Management at the Country level in accordance with the guidelines established by the Global Trading division.

In the coming months, the new organisation will be implemented progressively in the Group's Countries, beginning with Italy, with the consequent adjustment of operating segment reporting.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

This press release uses a number of "alternative performance indicators" not envisaged in the IFRS-EU accounting standards in order to facilitate the assessment of the Group's performance and financial position.

*****

In line with the Guidelines of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) 2015/1415 issued on October 5th, 2015 the meaning, content and basis for the calculation of these indicators are outlined below.
