Foreword

The Interim Financial Report at March 31, 2023 has been prepared in compliance with Article 154-ter, paragraph 5, of Legislative Decree 58 of February 24, 1998, with the clarification indicated in the following section, and in conformity with the recognition and measurement criteria set out in the international accounting standards (International Accounting Standards - IAS and International Financial Reporting Standards - IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as well as the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) and the Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC), recognized in the European Union pursuant to Regulation (EC) no. 1606/2002 and in effect as of the close of the period.

Article 154-ter, paragraph 5, of the Consolidated Financial Intermediation Act, as amended by Legislative Decree 25/2016, no longer requires issuers to publish an interim financial report at the close of the 1st and 3rd Quarters of the year. The new rules give CONSOB the power to issue a regulation requiring issuers, following an impact analysis, to publish periodic financial information in addition to the annual and semi-annual financial reports. In view of the foregoing, Enel intends to continue voluntarily publishing an interim financial report at the close of the 1st and 3rd Quarters of each year in order to satisfy investor expectations and conform to consolidated best practice in the main financial markets, while also taking due account of the quarterly reporting requirements of a number of major listed subsidiaries.

The Enel Group structure is organized into a matrix that comprises

Global Business Lines

The Global Business Lines are responsible for managing and developing assets, optimizing their performance and the return on capital employed in the various geographical areas in which the Group operates. In addition, in compliance with safety, protection and environmental policies and regulations, they are tasked with maximizing the efficiency of the processes they manage and applying best international practices, sharing responsibility for EBITDA, cash flows and revenue with the countries.

The Group, which also draws on the work of an Investment Committee,(1) benefits from a centralized industrial vision of projects in the various Business Lines. Each project is assessed not only on the basis of its financial return but also in relation to the best technologies available at the Group level, which reflect the new strategic line adopted, explicitly integrating the SDGs within our financial strategy and promoting a low-carbon business model. Furthermore, each Business Line contributes to guiding Enel's leadership in the energy transition and in the fight against climate change, managing the associated risks and opportunities in its area of competence. The main goals of each Global Business Line are as follows:

  • Enel Grids: ensures the reliability and quality of supply service through efficient, resilient and digital grids;
  • Global Energy & Commodity Management: optimizes the Group's margin by managing it as a single portfolio, seeking the best balance;
  • Enel Green Power & Thermal Generation: accelerates the energy transition, expanding installed renewable capacity;
  • Enel X Global Retail: optimizes the integrated margin by managing the supply of energy, services and innovative solutions;
  • Global e-Mobility: manages the portfolio of electric mobility solutions in both existing and new countries; innovates and develops new mobility solutions.

Regions and Countries are responsible for managing relationships with institutional bodies and regulatory authorities, as well as selling electricity and gas, in each of the countries in which the Group is present, while also providing staff and other service support to the Business Lines. They are also charged with promoting decarbonization and guiding the energy transition towards a low-carbon business model within their areas of responsibility.

The following functions provide support to Enel's business operations:

Global Service Functions

Regions and Countries

Holding Company Functions Funzioni di Holding

The Global Service Functions are responsible for managing information and communication technology activities and procurement at the Group level and managing global customer-related actions. The Global Service Functions are also focused on the responsible adoption of measures that allow the achievement of sustainable development objectives, in particular in managing the supply chain and developing digital solutions to support the development of enabling technologies for the energy transition and the fight against climate change.

The Holding Company Functions are responsible for managing governance processes at the Group level. The Administration, Finance and Control Function is also responsible for consolidating scenario analysis and managing the strategic and financial planning process aimed at promoting the decarbonization of the energy mix and the electrification of energy demand, key actions in the fight against climate change.

(1) The Group Investment Committee is made up of the heads of Administration, Finance and Control, Innovability, Legal and Corporate Affairs, Global Procurement, and the heads of the Regions and the Business Lines.

Reference scenario

The macroeconomic environment

In the 1st Quarter of 2023, macroeconomic conditions were characterized by a more resilient than expected real economy at the global level. This was a carryover from the economic recovery registered the previous year despite the presence of numerous adverse factors such as persistent inflationary pressures and the restrictive monetary policy stances of central banks. In many countries, the labor market remains tight, with unemployment rates at historically low levels and an ample supply of vacancies, which is pushing up real wages and generating further upward pressure on inflation. Taking these factors into consideration, the estimated growth rate of world GDP was around 2.1% on an annual basis in the 1st Quarter of 2023.

The United States registered strong economic performance in the 1st Quarter, with GDP expanding by 2.0% year-on-year, displaying a resilient labor market, which recorded an estimated unemployment rate of 3.5%, in line with the low levels that marked last year. However, various factors such as the persistent inflation dynamics in the services sector, driven in particular by the strong growth in nominal wages, and the consequent monetary policy restriction deployed by the Federal Reserve, represent a threat to the trend in the coming quarters.

Despite the real economy performing better than expected last year, and inflation peaking in the 4th Quarter of 2022, the economic environment for the euro area in the 1st Quarter of the year continues to be characterized by weak GDP growth, with output growing by 1.4% year-onyear. Even looking forward, the euro-area economies are exposed to a range of unfavorable developments, such as the impact of the ongoing monetary tightening, whose impact on the real economy have not yet fully unfolded, given that the European Central Bank has not yet announced the end of its program to raise its key interest rates. Furthermore, even if overall inflation is shown clear evidence of slowing down, with the average annual inflation rate to 8% in the 1st Quarter of 2023, concerns about the persistence of the "core" component continue to give cause for concern, negatively impacting consumption and private investment.

In Latin America, the 1st Quarter of the year, economies showed great resilience but remained threated by high inflation and very strained labor markets, which are fueling domestic inflationary pressures. In Brazil, economic performance in the 1st Quarter was encouraging, with an expected GDP growth rate of 1.0% on an annual basis in the period. On the inflation front, prices continued to increase, rising 5.3% year-on-year in the 1st Quarter, as they inherited the inflationary impetus of previous quarters, fueled by resilient domestic demand and an accommodative fiscal policy. Conversely, in Chile, the 1st Quarter of the year confirmed a contraction in output (by an expected -1.2%), in line with the performance recorded in the 2nd Half of last year. The dissipation of the fiscal stimulus as a result of the termination of the possibility of withdrawing pension fund contributions early to facilitate the post-pandemic economic recovery, the current high levels of inflation, and the restrictive monetary policy adopted by the central bank are placing a strain on the Chilean economy. In Colombia, the real economy recorded stronger-than-expected growth in the 1st Quarter, buoyed by resilient domestic demand thanks to the fiscal stimulus and higher public spending and investments. However, in the first three months of the year, inflation averaged 13.3%, which confirms that the country's inflationary conditions will be among the slowest to normalize in Latin America.

Energy conditions

The commodity market

Commodity price tensions eased in the 1st Quarter of 2023, continuing the improvement first seen in the last quarter of 2022. This reflected a number of factors, first and foremost the high level of gas and coal stocks and flows in Europe, combined with an outlook for declining demand.

Compared with the 1st Quarter of last year, TTF quotations decreased by 43%, on some days even approaching the price levels observed before the energy crisis. The causes of the decline are to be found in the high level of inventories, reflecting a generalized contraction in demand due to both economic and weather factors. Furthermore, on the supply side, the large flows of LNG arriving in Europe were sufficient to offset the absence of Russian gas.

Tracking the trend in gas prices, the benchmark price for the coal market also contracted sharply (-35%), reflecting both a decline in demand and the resolution of disruptions along the supply chain, which expanded supply.

Oil prices also decreased (-15.5% compared with the same period of the previous year). This trend was primarily driven by the high level of inventories in a context of divergent demand, which is growing in Asian countries and contracting in the West. Russian output of these two commodities has, despite the sanctions, found new markets in Asia, partially shifting the supply chains of these nations.

The price of CO2 rose moderately (+4.6%), confirming its resilience compared with other commodities. Part of the increase was attributable to the base effect comparison with February 2022 data, when the price experienced a sharp drop following the escalation of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

During the first three months of 2023, metal prices remained broadly stable. Compared with the same period of the previous year, the metal that saw the greatest drop in price was aluminum, with a contraction of around 26%, while the price of copper contracted by around 10% and that of nickel by 7%. The sharp increases in the early months of last year, triggered by the global strains on the metal markets as a result of the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, gave way over the following months to concerns about slow growth, with economies struggling under high inflationary pressures and rapidly rising interest rates. The 1st Quarter of this year substantially confirmed this dynamic, when despite continuing supply tensions (for copper in particular), the demand for metals remained relatively weak as the large western economies grappled with inflation and Chinese growth failing to take off despite stimulus measures.

Source: National TSOs. The figures may change during the year.

In the first three months of 2023, electricity demand in Italy decreased by 3.2% compared with the same period in 2022, reflecting both decline in the impact of temperatures on consumption and a contraction in industrial demand, which was affected by high electricity prices. The decrease in Spanish demand was more contained (-1.9%), with the greatest decrease being recorded in the domestic sector. As for Latin America, electricity demand is growing in all the countries in which the Group operates. Brazil is an exception, with demand easing slightly. The other countries in the area registered increases of varying size, ranging from 5.8% in Peru to 0.5% in Chile.

The decrease in gas and coal prices led to a contraction in electricity prices compared with 2022, despite the fact that tensions remain given the large distance separating current prices with pre-crisis levels. In particular, prices in Italy have decreased by an average of 37%, with levels reflecting both the current level of gas prices and a shortage of hydroelectric output and French nuclear generation, which has not yet returned to its full output potential. In Spain, the contraction was more than 50%, thanks to the abundant availability of renewables combined with low local gas prices.

Demand for natural gas in Italy in the first three months of 2023 amounted to 20.3 billion cubic meters, down by almost 20% on 2022. At the segment level, sharp decreases were recorded in demand for thermal generation and heating, while the decline in industrial consumption was smaller but still significant.

In Spain, consumption also decreased, falling by 16.8% compared with the same period in 2022.

Significant events in the 1st Quarter of 2023

Enel places new €1.75 billion of perpetual hybrid bonds to refinance some of its outstanding hybrid bonds

On January 9, 2023, Enel SpA launched the issue of non-convertible, subordinated, perpetual hybrid bonds for institutional investors on the European market, denominated in euros, with an aggregate principal amount of €1.75 billion (the "New Securities"). At the same time, Enel also announced, in a separate notice, the launch of voluntary tender offers to repurchase for cash and subsequently cancel, in a total aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount raised with the New Securities, any and all of the €750 million perpetual hybrid bond with first call date in August 2023, as well as part of the outstanding \$1,250 million hybrid bond maturing September 2073 with call date in September 2023, subject to satisfaction of a number of conditions.

Taking account of the principal amount raised through the issue of the New Securities and the principal amount of securities purchased in connection with the tender offer for euro-denominated securities, the capped maximum amount of acceptance of offers under the concurrent tender for its \$1,250 million hybrid bond maturing September 2073 with call date in September 2023 does not apply. Enel therefore agreed to repurchase all of the offers validly tendered for dollar-denominated bond by the early tender deadline in the total nominal amount of \$411,060,000.

Enel launches a €1.5 billion sustainability-linked bond

On February 14, 2023, Enel Finance International NV launched a dual-tranche sustainability-linked bond for institutional investors in the total amount of €1.5 billion. The new issue envisages for the first time the use by Enel of multiple key performance indicators (KPIs) for each tranche. One tranche of the bond combines a KPI linked to the EU taxonomy with a KPI linked to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The other tranche is linked to two KPIs related to the Group's decarbonization trajectory by way of direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions reduction.

Sale of thermal generation assets in Argentina

On February 17, 2023, the Enel Group, acting through its subsidiary Enel Argentina, closed the sale to Central Puerto SA, an energy company, of the Group's stake in the Enel Generación Costanera thermal generation company for about \$45 million.

In addition, on March 29, 2023, YPF and Pan American Sur SA exercised their respective pre-emption rights for:

  • the purchase by YPF of the shares held by Enel Américas in Inversora Dock Sud SA and indirectly of the shares it holds in Central Dock Sud SA; and
  • the purchase by Pan American Sur SA of the shares held by Enel Argentina in Central Dock Sud SA.

The sale was completed on April 14, 2023 for a total of about \$52 million (€42 million).

Enel signs agreement to sell its Romanian operations to PPC

On March 9, 2023, Enel SpA signed an agreement with Greek company Public Power Corporation SA (PPC) for the sale of all the equity investments held by the Enel Group in Romania. The agreement establishes that PPC will pay a total of approximately €1,260 million, equivalent to an enterprise value of about €1,900 million (on a 100% basis).

(5) If the figures also included charging points of joint ventures, they would amount to 23,516 at March 31, 2023 and 22,617 at December 31, 2022.

Net electricity generated by Enel in the 1st Quarter of 2023 decreased by 5.4 TWh compared with the same period of 2022 (-9.1%), attributable to lower thermal generation (-8.3 TWh), mainly as a result of the lower contribution of combined-cycle (-4.3 TWh) and fuel oil and turbogas (-4.1 TWh) generation, mainly in Argentina, Chile, Italy and Spain and Russia, the latter reflecting the full deconsolidation of Russian companies, which resulted in a reduction of net electricity generation of 6 TWh.

Generation from renewable sources increased by 3.1 TWh compared with the same period of 2022, notably hydroelectric power (+1.4 TWh) mainly in Colombia and Spain, and wind (+1.1 TWh) above all in the United States, Brazil and Spain.

Net electricity generation by source (1st Quarter of 2023)

25.2%

The Group's total net efficient installed capacity decreased by 1.9 GW in the 1st Quarter of 2023, mainly as a result of the decommissioning of oil & gas and combined cycle plants in Argentina (2.2 GW), only partially offset by the installation of 0.13 GW of new solar capacity in the United States and Colombia and 0.14 GW of new wind capacity in Chile, Canada and Brazil.

At the end of March 2023, the Group's net efficient installed renewables capacity reached 53.8 GW, equal to 65% of total net efficient installed capacity.

Electricity transported on the Enel distribution network in the 1st Quarter of 2023 amounted to 122.2 TWh, down 4.9 TWh (-3.9%) compared with the same period of 2022, mainly in Italy (-2.6 TWh), Brazil (-3.1 TWh) and Chile (-0.5 TWh), partly offset by an increase in volumes transported in Spain (+0.8 TWh) and Argentina (+0.7 TWh).

Electricity sold by Enel in the 1st Quarter of 2023 amounted to 78.2 TWh, a decrease of 1.9 TWh (-2.4%) compared with the year-earlier period.

Quantities sold decreased in Brazil (-1.5 TWh), Italy (-1.0 TWh) and Romania (-0.3 TWh), partly offset by an increase in volumes in Argentina (+0.6 TWh) and Chile (+0.3 TWh).

Gas sold by Enel in the 1st Quarter of 2023 amounted to 3.6 billion cubic meters, a decrease of 0.4 billion cubic meters on the same period of 2022.

Enel charging points increased by 539 in the 1st Quarter of 2023, primarily in Iberia and Latin America.

The Enel Group workforce at March 31, 2023 numbered 65,178, of whom about 51% were employed in companies outside of Italy. The increase of 54 reflects the positive balance between new hires and terminations (420) and the change in the consolidation scope (-366) reflecting the sale of Enel Generación Costanera in Argentina.

(1) The ordinary income statement does not include non-recurring items. The summary of results presents a reconciliation of reported figures with ordinary figures for the following aggregates: gross operating profit, operating profit, and profit for the year (attributable to owners of the Parent).

(2) The figures for the 1st Quarter of 2022 have been adjusted, for comparative purposes only, to take account of the classification under the item "Profit/(Loss) from discontinued operations" of revenue connected with the assets held in Russia (which were sold in 2022), Romania and Greece as the requirements of IFRS 5 for their classification as discontinued operations have been met.

(3) For a more accurate representation, the taxes relating to ordinary items in the 1st Quarter of 2022 have been adjusted to take account of the extraordinary nature of the solidarity levy recognized during the 1st Quarter of 2022 in the total amount of €41 million. This adjustment also involved the recalculation of "profit for the period" and the amount "attributable to owners of the Parent" for the same period.

In the 1st Quarter of 2023, revenue decreased due to a decrease in sales prices of commodities and quantities generated, traded and transported.

The decrease in revenue also reflects the impact of the exit from the consolidation scope of a number of companies sold in 2022 (primarily Fortaleza, Celg Distribuição SA - Celg-D (Enel Goiás), Enel Transmisión Chile and a number of South African companies) and the gain on the sale of the interest held in Ufinet (€220 million) in the 1st Quarter of 2022.

As with revenue, costs in the 1st Quarter of 2023 also decreased significantly mainly due to the decrease in commodity prices and the reduction in volumes purchased.

Net results from commodity contracts

Net results from commodity contracts entered into primarily for hedging purposes in the 1st Quarter of 2023 posted a decrease of €1,794 million, due mainly to fluctuations in market prices.

(1) Figures for the 1st Quarter of 2022 have been adjusted to take account of the transfer of certain net assets and related revenue and expenses from the Business Line Enel X to the new Business Line Enel X Way.

Ordinary gross operating profit increased by €977 million on the same period of 2022. In particular, the integrated business of Global Power Generation, Trading and Global Retail posted an overall increase of €755 million, due primarily to an increase in renewable generation, the optimization of provisioning costs and the higher margins achieved by End-user Markets, especially with residential customers and small and medium-sized enterprises.

As part of the integrated business, Global Retail posted positive results in Italy and Spain.

In addition, the ordinary gross operating profit of Enel Grids in Brazil and Italy increased due to rate adjustments and in Romania due to the recognition of price differentials on quantities connected to grid losses (€214 million).

These effects were partly offset by the recognition during the 1st Quarter of 2022 of the capital gain deriving from the partial sale of the equity investment held in Ufinet in the amount of €220 million.

Gross operating profit

Gross operating profit amounted to €4,765 million (€4,549 million in the 1st Quarter of 2022). Extraordinary items amounted to a total of €698 million and regarded charges connected with the disposal of Enel Generación Costanera (a total €154 million), extraordinary solidarity levies in Spain (€208 million) and Romania (€14 million) and changes in the classification of the results of discontinued operations in Romania and Greece.

Profit/(Loss) from discontinued operations

Profit/(Loss) from discontinued operations, equal to €51 million in the 1st Quarter of 2023 (a loss of €126 million in the 1st Quarter of 2022), reports the effects of classifying under discontinued operations the companies in Romania and Greece in accordance with "IFRS 5 - Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations". More specifically, the figures include the effects of the further adjustment in respect of Romanian companies of €179 million (net of tax effects) to align their carrying amount at March 31, 2023 with their estimated realizable value based on negotiations under way with the counterparty. It should be noted that the 2022 figures have been adjusted solely for the purposes of like-for-like comparison with 2023. For more information, see note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2023.

Group ordinary profit

Group ordinary profit in the first three months of 2023 amounted to €1,512 million, compared with €1,484 million in the same period of the previous year. More specifically, the increase in operating profit was partly offset by the deterioration in finance operations as a result of the rise in interest rates and the concomitant increase in average net financial debt for the period, as well as an increase in profit going to non-controlling shareholders due to the increases in profits achieved above all in Spain, Romania and Latin America.

Total equity 46,204 42,082 4,122 9.8%
Net financial debt 58,901 60,068 (1,167) -1.9%

Net capital employed at March 31, 2023 came to €105,105 million and was funded by shareholders' equity attributable to the owners of the Parent and non-controlling interests in the amount of €46,204 million and net financial debt of €58,901 million. At March 31, 2023 the debt/equity ratio was 1.27 (1.43 at December 31, 2022). The increase in net capital employed mainly reflected an increase in net working capital, mainly related to the payment of dividends and the reduction in trade payables as a result of the reduction in commodity prices and developments in the fuel supply chain. These effects were partly offset by the increase in amounts due to institutional market operators in Italy and Spain.

Total equity at March 31, 2023 increased by €4,122 million, primarily due to comprehensive income for the period of €3,091 million (of which €1,445 million recognized through profit or loss and €1,646 million in equity) and the issue of new subordinated non-convertible perpetual hybrid bonds, net of instruments redeemed, equal to €986 million.

Net financial debt amounted to €58,901 million at March 31, 2023, a decrease of €1,167 million on December 31, 2022, attributable primarily to positive cash flows from operations and the net financial debt classified under liabilities associated with assets available for sale, especially in Peru.

These positive effects were partly offset by the funding needs for: (i) investments in the period (€3,018 million including €145 million reclassified as available for sale); (ii) the payment of dividends totaling €2,107 million, including coupons paid to holders of hybrid bonds in the amount of €33 million; and (iii) the effects of the issue of a subordinated non-convertible perpetual hybrid bond.

At March 31, 2023, gross financial debt amounted to €83,247 million, a decrease of €6,171 million on December 31, 2022.

More specifically, gross long-term financial debt (including the current portion) amounted to €70,839 million, of which €43,625 million in sustainable financing, and breaks down as follows:

  • bonds in the amount of €52,139 million, of which €30,946 million in sustainable bonds, an increase of €448 million on December 31, 2022. In February, Enel Finance International issued a €1,500 million multi-tranche sustainability-linked bond, partly offset by the deconsolidation of the bonds of a number of South American companies, repayments and positive exchange rate developments;
  • bank borrowings in the amount of €15,593 million, of which €12,679 million in sustainable loans, which decreased by €558 million on December 31, 2022;
  • other borrowings in the amount of €3,107 million, a decrease of €77 million on December 31, 2022.

Gross short-term financial debt came to €12,408 million, of which €7,864 million in sustainable loans, a decrease of €5,984 million on December 31, 2022, mainly due to a decrease in commercial paper.

Cash and cash equivalents and short-term and long-term financial assets came to €23,691 million, down by €5,064 million on December 31, 2022, mainly attributable to a reduction in cash collateral paid and other short-term financial assets (€2,883 million and €1,531 million, respectively).

Net gain/(loss) on exchange rate derivatives connected with borrowings, regarding the fair value of cross currency swaps hedging loans denominated in foreign currency with third parties, showed a net loss of €655 million, from €595 million at December 31, 2022.

(2) The figure does not include €145 million regarding units classified as "held for sale" (€17 million in 2022).

Capital expenditure amounted to €2,873 million in the first three months of 2023, an increase on the 1st Quarter of 2022 registered by nearly all business lines.

The Enel Group, guided by energy efficiency and energy transition objectives, continued to invest above all in renewables. In particular, the increase mainly involved the Italy (€568 million), Brazil (€62 million), Colombia (€31 million) and Spain (€21 million). These increases were only partially offset by lower investments in the United States (€283 million), Canada (€80 million), India (€60 million) and Chile (€36 million).

Investment in distribution assets also increased, especially in Italy, in order to enhance grid resilience in response to increasingly volatile weather events.

Performance by primary segment (Business Line) and secondary segment (Geographical Area)

The representation of performance by Business Line presented here is based on the approach used by management in monitoring Group performance for the two periods under review, taking account of the operational model adopted as described above.

With regard to disclosures for operating segments, as management reports on performance by business sector, the Group has therefore adopted the following reporting sectors:

  • primary segment: Business Line;
  • secondary segment: Geographical Area.

The Business Line is therefore the main discriminant in the analyses performed and decisions taken by the management of the Enel Group, and is fully consistent with the internal reporting prepared for these purposes since the results are measured and evaluated first and foremost for each Business Line and only thereafter are they broken down by Geographical Area.

The following chart outlines these organizational arrangements.

Revenue in the first three months of 2023 amounted to €12,178 million, a decrease of €5,110 million compared with the same period of 2022. The change mainly regarded Italy and is largely attributable to a decrease in gas and electricity sales, which reflected a decline in average prices during the period. This was partly offset by an increase of €396 million in revenue in Spain compared with the same period of 2022, mainly attributable to the remuneration of additional costs for the generation of power in the extra-peninsular territories.

Ordinary gross operating profit decreased by €472 million, essentially reflecting an increase in provisioning costs, taking due account of hedging strategies, and differences in the fair value measurement of outstanding commodity contracts, which reflected the high volatility of average prices for the period.

The change was partly offset by the increase in ordinary gross operating profit in Spain for the reasons noted under revenue.

Gross operating profit came to €980 million (€1,564 million in the first three months of 2022) mainly reflecting the factors discussed in the comments on ordinary gross operating profit and the differing impact in the two periods being compared of non-recurring items (€163 million in the 1st Quarter of 2023), which was primarily attributable to costs connected with the Enel Generación Costanera

disposal in Argentina (€154 million) and the reclassification of a number of companies as discontinued operations (€9 million). In the 1st Quarter of 2022, non-recurring items totaled €51 million.

Ordinary gross operating profit in the 1st Quarter of 2023 increased by €932 million compared with the same period of 2022 essentially due to an increase in the free market in Italy, Spain and Romania, which essentially reflected lower provisioning costs in an environment of stabilizing sales prices.

Gross operating profit amounted to €1,030 million (€257 million in the 1st Quarter of 2022) and, in addition to being impacted by the factors discussed for ordinary gross operating profit, does not include the ordinary results associated with Romanian assets classified as "discontinued operations" pursuant to IFRS 5 (€26 million).

Definition of performance indicators

In order to present the results of the Group and analyze its financial structure, in the Interim Financial Report at March 31, 2023 Enel has prepared separate reclassified schedules that differ from the schedules envisaged under the IFRS-EU adopted by the Group and contained in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements. These reclassified schedules contain different performance indicators from those obtained directly from the condensed interim consolidated financial statements, which management believes are useful in monitoring the performance of the Group and representative of the financial performance and position of our business.

With regard to those indicators, on April 29, 2021, CON-SOB issued warning notice no. 5/21, which gives force to the Guidelines issued on March 4, 2021 by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) on disclosure requirements under Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the Prospectus Regulation), which took effect on May 5, 2021 and replace the references to the CESR Recommendations and those contained in Communication no. DEM/6064293 of July 28, 2006 regarding the net financial position.

The Guidelines update the previous CESR Recommendations (ESMA/2013/319, in the revised version of March 20, 2013) with the exception of those concerning the special issuers referred to in Annex no. 29 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/980, which were not converted into Guidelines and remain applicable.

The Guidelines are intended to promote the usefulness and transparency of alternative performance indicators included in regulated information or prospectuses within the scope of application of Directive 2003/71/EC in order to improve their comparability, reliability and comprehensibility.

In line with the regulations cited above, the criteria used to construct these indicators are the following.

Gross operating profit: an operating performance indicator, calculated as "Operating profit" plus "Depreciation, amortization and impairment losses".

Ordinary gross operating profit: defined as "Gross operating profit" from core business connected with the Ownership and Stewardship business models, plus the ordinary gross operating profit of discontinued operations. It does not include costs connected with corporate restructurings and any extraordinary solidarity levies charged to companies operating in the energy industry.

Ordinary operating profit: defined as "Operating profit" from core business connected with the Ownership and Stewardship business models, plus the ordinary operating profit of discontinued operations.

It is calculated by adjusting "Operating profit" for the effects of transactions not connected with core operations referred to with regard to ordinary gross operating profit and excluding significant impairment losses on assets and/ or groups of assets following impairment testing (including reversals of impairment losses) or classification under "Assets held for sale".

Group ordinary profit: it is defined as "Group profit" generated by Enel's core business connected with the Ownership and Stewardship business models.

It is equal to "Group profit" adjusted primarily by the solidarity tax on energy companies for 2022, as well as the items discussed under "Ordinary operating profit", net of any tax effects and non-controlling interests.

Net non-current assets: calculated as the difference between "Non-current assets" and "Non-current liabilities" with the exception of:

  • "Deferred tax assets";
  • "Securities" and "Other financial assets" included in "Other non-current financial assets";
  • "Long-term borrowings";
  • "Employee benefits";
  • "Provisions for risks and charges (non-current portion)";
  • "Deferred tax liabilities".

Net working capital: calculated as the difference between "Current assets" and "Current liabilities" with the exception of:

  • "Current portion of long-term loan assets", "Factoring receivables", "Securities", "Cash collateral" and "Other financial assets" included in "Other current financial assets";
  • "Cash and cash equivalents";
  • "Short-term borrowings" and the "Current portion of long-term borrowings";
  • "Provisions for risks and charges (current portion)";
  • "Other financial liabilities" included in "Other current liabilities".

Net assets held for sale: calculated as the algebraic sum of "Assets held for sale" and "Liabilities included in disposal groups held for sale".

Net capital employed: calculated as the algebraic sum of "Net non-current assets" and "Net current assets", "Pro-

visions for risks and charges", "Deferred tax liabilities" and "Deferred tax assets", as well as "Net assets held for sale".

Net financial debt: a financial structure indicator, determined by:

  • "Long-term borrowings", "Short-term borrowings" and "Current portion of long-term borrowings", taking account of "Long- and short-term financial borrowings" included respectively in "Other non-current financial liabilities" and "Other current financial liabilities";
  • net of "Cash and cash equivalents";
  • net of the "Current portion of long-term loan assets", "Current securities" and "Other financial assets" included in "Other current financial assets";
  • net of "Non-current securities" and "Non-current financial assets" included in "Other non-current financial assets";
  • net of "Cash flow hedge derivative assets on exchange rates connected to loans" and "Fair value hedge derivative assets on exchange rates connected to loans";
  • "Cash flow hedge derivative liabilities on exchange rates linked to loans" and "Fair value hedge derivative liabilities on exchange rates connected to loans".

More generally, the net financial debt of the Enel Group is determined in accordance with Guideline 39, issued on March 4, 2021, by ESMA, applicable as from May 5, 2021, and with warning notice no. 5/21 issued by CONSOB on April 29, 2021.

Main changes in the consolidation scope

In the two periods under review, the consolidation scope changed as a result of a number of transactions. For more information, please see note 4 of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2023.

Outlook for operations

The Group Strategic Plan for 2023-2025, presented in November 2022, is based on simplification and focusing on the geographical areas that will make it possible to fully seize the opportunities associated with the energy transition.

In particular, the Strategic Plan seeks to:

  • focus on an integrated industrial supply chain towards sustainable electrification;
  • achieve strategic repositioning of businesses and geographical areas of operation;
  • ensure growth and financial soundness by combining the growth of ordinary profit with stronger credit metrics as early as 2023.

In pursuing these objectives, between 2023 and 2025 the Group expects to invest a total of around €37 billion, of which 60% in support of the Group's integrated commercial strategy (generation, customers and services) and 40% on grids, to support their role as enablers of the energy transition.

The Plan will focus on four strategic actions.

Balancing client demand and supply to optimize risk/ reward profile.

By 2025, the Group expects to sell around 80% of its electricity volumes in the six core countries with fixedprice contracts. The Group also expects to satisfy 100% of fixed-price sales with its own generation and longterm power purchase agreements (PPAs), envisaging that around 90% be covered by carbon-free sources, to further ensure the evolution of the Group's margins.

Decarbonization to ensure competitiveness, sustainability and security.

By 2025, the Group expects to add approximately 21 GW of installed renewable capacity (of which some 19 GW in core countries), positioning itself well towards achieving its decarbonization objectives, in line with the Paris Agreement.

Strengthening, developing and digitalizing grids to enable the transition.

The Group's strategy for grids concerns five of the six core countries, namely Italy, Spain, Brazil, Chile and Colombia.

Rationalization of business portfolio and geographical areas.

The Group plans a further rationalization of its structure, exiting some businesses and geographical areas that are no longer aligned with its strategy, in order to redefine the Group structure, maximizing shareholder value.

As a result of the strategic actions described above, the Group's ordinary EBITDA is expected to reach €22.2-22.8 billion in 2025, compared with €19.7 billion in 2022.

Group ordinary profit is expected to grow to €7.0-7.2 billion in 2025, compared with €5.4 billion in 2022.

Enel's dividend policy remains simple and predictable, with a DPS of €0.43 in the 2023-2025 period, up from €0.40 in 2022. Furthermore, the DPS in 2024 and 2025 should be considered as a sustainable minimum.

The following are planned for 2023:

  • a continuation of the investment policy in renewable energy to support industrial growth and as part of the decarbonization policies followed by the Group;
  • further investments in distribution grids, especially in Italy, with the aim of improving service quality and increasing the flexibility and resilience of the grid;
  • a continuation of the investment policy dedicated to the electrification of consumption, with the aim of enhancing the growth of the customer base, as well as continuous efficiency improvement through global business platforms.

In the light of the strong performance registered in the 1st Quarter, we confirm the guidance provided at the presentation of the 2023-2025 Business Plan: the Group's ordinary EBITDA is expected to reach €20.4-21.0 billion in 2023, with a Group ordinary profit of €6.1-6.3 billion and net financial debt of €51-52 billion.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2023

1. Accounting policies and measurement criteria

The accounting standards adopted, the recognition and measurement criteria and the consolidation criteria and methods used for these condensed consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2023 are the same as those adopted for the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2022 (please see the related report for more information). In addition, as from January 1, 2023 the following amendments of accounting standards have become applicable to the Enel Group.

• "Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 - Disclosure of Accounting Policies", issued in February 2021. The amendments are intended to support entities in deciding which accounting policies to disclose in the financial statements. The amendments to "IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements" require companies to disclose their material accounting policy information rather than their significant accounting policies. A guide on how to apply the concept of materiality to disclosures of accounting policies is provided in the amendments to "IFRS Practice Statement 2 - Making Materiality Judgements".

In the absence of a definition of "significant" in the IFRSs, in the context of disclosures of accounting policies, the term has been replaced with "material". In this regard, the definition of material was changed in October 2018, and aligned with the IFRSs and the Conceptual Framework and, therefore, was largely understood by primary users of the financial statements. Disclosure of accounting policies in accordance with IAS 1 is material if, taken together with other information included in the financial statements, it can reasonably be expected to influence the decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements.

In assessing the materiality of disclosures of accounting policies, it is appropriate to consider both the amount of the transactions, other events or conditions, and their nature. However, although a transaction, other event or condition – to which the disclosure of accounting policies refers – may be material, this does not imply that the corresponding disclosure is material for the purposes of the financial statements.

The amendments to IFRS Practice Statement 2 seek to illustrate how to assess whether the disclosure of an accounting policy is material for the purposes of the financial statements, providing guidance. These amendments aim to: (i) clarify that the assessment of the materiality of disclosures of accounting policies should follow the same guide applicable in the assessment of the materiality of other disclosures, thus considering both qualitative and quantitative factors; (ii) emphasize the importance of providing disclosures of accounting policies that are specific to the Group; (iii) provide examples of situations where generic or standardized information, which summarizes or duplicates the requirements of IF-RSs, can be considered disclosures of material accounting policies.

"Amendments to IAS 8 - Definition of Accounting Estimates", issued in February 2021. The amendments clarify how companies should distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. The definition of changes in accounting estimates has been replaced with a definition of accounting estimates as "monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty". In order to clarify the interaction between an accounting policy and an accounting estimate, IAS 8 was amended to state that an accounting policy could require the measurement of items in financial statements at monetary amounts that cannot be directly observed, and therefore must be estimated (since they involve uncertainty in the measurement). In these circumstances, accounting estimates are made to achieve the objective established by the accounting policy, including the use of judgments and assumptions based on the most recent reliable information available. The amendments explain how valuation techniques and inputs should be used to develop accounting estimates and establish that such techniques include both measurement and estimation techniques. To provide greater guidance, the amendments clarify that the effects on an accounting estimate of a change

in an input or valuation technique are changes in accounting estimates, unless they result from the correction of prior period errors. Furthermore, changes in accounting estimates resulting from new information are not corrections of errors.

"Amendments to IAS 12 - Income Taxes: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction", issued in May 2021. The amendments clarify that the exemption from initial recognition envisaged by the

standard no longer applies to transactions that give rise to taxable and deductible temporary differences of the same amount. The exemption from initial recognition under IAS 12 prohibits the recognition of deferred assets and liabilities relating to the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that does not constitute a business combination, and does not affect either accounting or taxable income. The changes, as illustrated, have narrowed the scope of the exception.

The application of the amendments has not had a material impact in this Interim Financial Report.

"IFRS 17 - Insurance Contracts", issued in May 2017 in replacement of IFRS 4. Essentially defines the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure criteria for insurance contracts, including reinsurance contracts issued and held. The new standard:

  • requires the provision of updated information on the obligations, risks and performance of insurance contracts;
  • improves the transparency of financial information, providing greater confidence to investors and analysts in understanding the insurance sector;
  • introduces a single accounting model for all insurance contracts.

The application of the amendments has not had an impact in this Interim Financial Report.

2. Restatement of comparative disclosures

Discontinued operations

The consolidated income statement and statement of consolidated comprehensive income in the condensed consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2022 have been adjusted to take account of the presentation of discontinued operations as required by the "IFRS 5 - Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations".

Segment reporting

This year, the figures at March 31, 2022 relating to the Enel X Business Line were adjusted to take account of the transfer of certain net assets and the related revenue and expenses to the new Enel X Way Business Line included under the "Holding, Services and Other" segment. This change affected segment disclosures but did not produce any changes in the overall figures for the Group, although a number of reclassifications of values were carried out within the various business lines. The data presented in the comments and in the tables of the notes to these condensed consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2023 are uniform and comparable.

3. Argentina - Hyperinflationary economy: impact of the application of IAS 29

As from July 1, 2018, the Argentine economy has been considered hyperinflationary based on the criteria established by "IAS 29 - Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies". This designation is determined following an assessment of a series of qualitative and quantitative circumstances, including the presence of a cumulative inflation rate of more than 100% over the previous three years. For the purposes of preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements and in accordance with IAS 29, certain items of the balance sheets of the investees in Argentina have been remeasured by applying the general consumer price index to historical data in order to reflect changes in the purchasing power of the Argentine peso at the reporting date for those companies.

Bearing in mind that the Enel Group acquired control of the Argentine companies on June 25, 2009, the remeasurement of the non-monetary balance sheet figures was conducted by applying the inflation indices starting from that date. In addition to being already reflected in the opening balance sheet, the accounting effects of that remeasurement also include changes during the period. More specifically, the effect of the remeasurement of non-monetary items, the components of equity and the components of the income statement recognized in the first three months of 2023 was recognized in a specific line of the income statement under financial income and expense. The associated tax effect was recognized in taxes for the period.

In order to also take account of the impact of hyperinflation on the exchange rate of the local currency, the income statement balances expressed in the hyperinflationary currency have been translated into the Group's presentation currency (euro) applying, in accordance with IAS 21, the closing exchange rate rather than the average rate for the period in order to adjust these amounts to current values.

The cumulative changes in the general price indices from December 31, 2018 to March 31, 2023 are shown in the following table:

Periods Cumulative change in general consumer price index
From July 1, 2009 to December 31, 2018 346.30%
From January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019 54.46%
From January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020 35.41%
From January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 49.73%
From January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 97.08%
From January 1, 2023 to March 31, 2023 20.54%

In the 1st Quarter of 2023, the application of IAS 29 generated net financial income from hyperinflation adjustments (gross of tax) of €67 million.

The following tables report the effects of IAS 29 on the balance at March 31, 2023 and the impact of hyperinflation on the main income statement items for the 1st Quarter of 2023, differentiating between that concerning the revaluation on the basis of the general consumer price index and that due to the application of the closing exchange rate rather than the average exchange rate for the period in accordance with the provisions of IAS 21 for hyperinflationary economies.

The consolidated income statement reports the profit/ (loss) from discontinued operations in a separate line denominated "Profit/(Loss) from discontinued operations".

Russia

On October 12, 2022, Enel SpA closed the sale of the entire stake held in PJSC Enel Russia. Upon completion of the sale, Enel sold all power generation assets in Russia, which include approximately 5.6 GW of conventional capacity and approximately 300 MW of wind capacity at various stages of development, ensuring continuity for its employees and customers.

The performance figures for Russia are included exclusively in the comparative figures for the 1st Quarter of 2022.

Romania

Following the agreements signed on December 14, 2022 and February 4, 2023, on March 9, 2023, Enel SpA signed an agreement with Greek company Public Power Corporation SA (PPC) for the sale of all the equity stakes held by the Enel Group in Romania. The agreement provides that PPC will pay a total of approximately €1,260 million, equivalent to an enterprise value of about €1,900 million (on a 100% basis). The overall transaction is expected to generate a total positive effect on the Group's consolidated net debt of approximately €1.7 billion, of which almost €0.1 billion in 2022 and the remaining amount in 2023, alongside a cumulative negative impact for 2022-2023 on reported Group net income amounting to approximately €1.4 billion, of which around €0.6 billion related to the release of the foreign exchange reserve to be booked in 2023.

Greece

Enel Green Power has begun the process of finding a potential investor interested in a partnership for the management and development of Enel Green Power Hellas within the Stewardship business model.

The status of the negotiations under way suggest that a sale is highly probable. Accordingly, the requirements established by "IFRS 5 - Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations" have been met for the classification of the Greek assets as discontinued operations.

The transaction is expected to close by September 30, 2023.

For more details on the financial position by business line and geographical area of assets classified as discontinued operations, please see the section "Performance by primary segment (Business Line) and secondary segment (Geographical Area)".

(1) The figure for the 1st Quarter of 2022 has been adjusted, for comparative purposes only, to take account of the classification under the item "Profit/(Loss) from discontinued operations" of profit/(loss) connected with the assets held in Russia (which were sold in 2022), Romania and Greece as the requirements of IFRS 5 for their classification as discontinued operations have been met.

In the 1st Quarter of 2023 revenue from the "sale of electricity" amounted to €13,963 million, down €2,349 million on the same period of the previous year (-14.4%). The decrease, which was largely accounted for by Italy (€1,416 million) and Spain (€1,132 million), mainly reflected a decrease in electricity sale prices and was only partly offset by the increase in revenue in Latin America.

"Transfers from institutional market operators" increased by €368 million on the 1st Quarter of 2022, mainly due to an increase in transfers for extra-peninsular generation in Spain, which offset the decrease in revenue associated with the decline in wholesale electricity prices.

The increase in revenue from the "sale and transport of gas" of €204 million on the 1st Quarter of 2022 was mainly attributable to the updating of rates for expiring contracts on the free market.

Revenue from the "sale of fuels" decreased by €310 million with the decrease primarily being registered by Enel Global Trading as a result of lower gas prices.

The decrease in revenue from the "sale of commodities under contracts with physical settlement", measured at fair value through profit or loss within the scope of IFRS 9 (-€7,014 million), mainly regarded the sale of gas. This effect was partly offset by an increase in revenue from the fair value measurement of closed contracts compared with the 1st Quarter of 2022 (€999 million) mainly regarding gas.

The following table shows the net gain or loss on contracts for the sale or purchase of commodities with physical settlement measured at fair value through profit or loss.

The gain on sale of entities in the 1st Quarter of 2023 came to €101 million, mainly accounted for by the income recognized by Enel CIEN following the transfer of transmission assets operated on a concession basis to the new concession holder.

"Other revenue" showed an increase of €86 million, primarily attributable to an increase in income from tax partnerships (€21 million) and income registered in Chile as a result of a number of amendments of the contract with our supplier Metka.

(1) The figure for the 1st Quarter of 2022 has been adjusted, for comparative purposes only, to take account of the classification under the item "Profit/(Loss) from discontinued operations" of profit/(loss) connected with the assets held in Russia (which were sold in 2022), Romania and Greece as the requirements of IFRS 5 for their classification as discontinued operations have been met.

Costs for "electricity purchases" decreased as a result of lower volumes purchased at decreasing average prices compared with the first three months of 2022, mainly in Italy (€3,622 million) and Spain (€1,131 million). The item includes the results from the fair value measurement of electricity purchase contracts with physical settlement closed in the first three months of 2023, which posted a decrease of €56 million compared with the corresponding period of 2022.

The increase in costs for "consumption of fuel for electricity generation" reflects the effect of the use of first-in inventories in the production cycle.

The decrease in costs for the purchase of "fuels for trading and gas for sale to end users" essentially reflects the price effect of commodities, especially gas, and developments in volumes handled.

The decrease was offset by the results from the fair value measurement of gas purchase contracts with physical settlement closed in the first three months of 2023, up €1,164 million compared with the corresponding period of 2022.

The costs for "materials" decreased by €55 million, essentially reflecting an increase in the consumption of materials in inventories as well as the decrease the results from the fair value measurement of CO2 purchase contracts with physical settlement closed in the first three months of 2023.

In the first three months of 2023, the increase of €81 million in costs for "personnel" mainly reflects the increase in costs for wages, salaries and other personnel remuneration, in the amount of €69 million as a result of new hiring.

The Enel Group workforce at March 31, 2023 numbered 65,178, of which 33,209 employed abroad. In the first three months of 2023, the workforce increased by 54, reflecting the balance between new hires and terminations (+420) and the change in consolidation scope (-366), mainly reflecting the disposal of Enel Generación Costanera in Argentina.

The overall change compared with December 31, 2022 breaks down as follows:

Balance at December 31, 2022 65,124
Hirings 1,239
Terminations (819)
Change in consolidation scope (366)
Balance at March 31, 2023 65,178

The decrease in costs for "services, leases and rentals" is mainly due to the decrease in costs for wheeling in Italy and Spain as a result of a decline in average prices, partly offset by an increase associated with value-added services in Italy and North America.

The rise in "depreciation, amortization and impairment losses" mainly reflects an increase in depreciation and amortization as a result of new capital expenditure in the renewable energy and distribution sectors.

Costs of "environmental certificates" increased by €227 million, due in particular to the developments in the prices of CO2 commodity and an increase in the volume of guarantees of origin purchased.

"Capital losses and other costs on the disposal of equity investments" essentially regard the capital loss on the disposal of Enel Generación Costanera SA (€132 million).

"Extraordinary solidarity levies" regard the extraordinary solidarity levy in Spain.

"Other operating expenses" increased by €134 million, mainly due to the effect of the increased impact of the Bono Social program in Spain (€77 million).

"Capitalized costs" increased by €88 million, mainly reflecting greater investments in the distribution sector in Italy, for an increase in new customer connections and service quality, greater investment in distribution lines in Latin America and greater investment in renewable plants mainly in Italy and North America.

7.c Net results from commodity contracts - €(640) million

Net results from commodity contracts showed net expense of €640 million in the first three months of 2023 (net income of €1,154 million in the same period of 2022) and break down as follows:

• net expense on commodity derivatives totaling €401 million (net income of €1,132 million in the first three months of 2022), including derivatives designated as cash flow hedges and derivatives measured at fair value through profit or loss. More specifically, net expense

7.d Net financial income/(expense) - €(865) million

Net financial expense increased by €452 million on the same period of 2022.

More specifically, financial income in the first three months of 2023 came to €1,672 million, an increase of €36 million on the same period of 2022 (€1,636 million). The change mainly reflected an increase of €111 million in interest income at the effective rate, mainly in respect of short-term financial investments, partially offset by a €68 million decrease in other income from the adjustment of liabilities covered by fair value hedges.

from derivatives settled in the period amounted to €604 million (net income of €987 million in the 1st Quarter of 2022) and the net fair value gain from measurement of outstanding derivatives came to €203 million (net gain of €145 million in the 1st Quarter of 2022);

• net fair value loss through profit or loss on outstanding energy commodity contracts with physical settlement amounting to €239 million (net gain of €22 million in the 1st Quarter of 2022).

Financial expense in the first three months of 2023 amounted to €2,604 million, an increase of €524 million on the 1st Quarter of 2022. The change mainly reflected an increase of €337 million in interest expense, reflecting the combined effect of the increase in interest rates and the increase in average debt in the period.

Finally, income from hyperinflation adjustments recognized by the Argentine companies in application of IAS 29 concerning accounting for hyperinflationary economies amounted to €67 million in the first three months of 2023, an increase of €36 million on the same period of 2022 (€31 million).

7.e Share of profit/(loss) of equity-accounted investments - €12 million

The share of profit of equity-accounted investments in the first three months of 2023 amounted to €12 million, down €31 million on the same period of 2022. The change mainly reflected a decline in the share of the profit of Slovak Power Holding (€26 million) and Mooney (€8 million), partly offset by an increase in the share of the profit of Rusenergosbyt (€8 million).

7.f Income taxes - €704 million

Income taxes for the 1st Quarter of 2023 amounted to €704 million, equal to 34% of pre-tax profit (compared with 28% in the first three months of 2022). The increase in the tax rate essentially reflected:

• the different impact of mergers and acquisitions in the first three months of 2023 compared with the same period of the previous year (essentially due to the tax treatment of of the income generated by the partial sale of Ufinet in 2022, while the sale of Enel Generación Costanera in 2023 had no tax impact);

• the non-deductibility of the extraordinary solidarity level in Spain.

Assets

8.a Non-current assets - €143,463 million

Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, including investment property, amounted to €104,177 million at March 31, 2023, a decrease of €1,958 million. The change is mainly attributable to the classification as assets held for sale of assets held in Peru (€3,532 million) depreciation and amortization in the amount of €1,515 million and the exchange loss of €75 million attributable mainly to the depreciation of the US dollar against the euro. These negative impacts were partially offset by investments in the period (€2,650 million) and the value adjustment of tangible assets of Argentine companies as they operate in a hyperinflationary economy (€358 million).

Goodwill amounted to €13,188 million, a decrease of €554 million, mainly attributable to the classification in Peru of generation and distribution assets and the associated liabilities as assets held for sale (€571 million).

Equity-accounted investments amounted to €1,315 million, an increase of €34 million compared with the end of the previous year, mainly reflecting:

  • changes in the OCI reserves for cash flow hedge derivatives (€64 million) mainly related to Slovak Power Holding;
  • the profits attributable to the Group (€12 million) mainly of Rusenergosbyt, Gridspertise Srl and Spanish companies and North American companies, only partially offset by the losses of Mooney.

These effects were partly offset by exchanges losses (€33 million), as well as dividends distributed by Spanish companies (€13 million).

Other non-current assets include:

(1) The item includes investments in contract assets of €224 million at March 31, 2023 and €1,174 million at December 31, 2022.

The decrease of €1,465 million in the period is essentially due to:

  • a decrease in "deferred tax assets", mainly due to the decrease in deferred tax assets linked to developments in the fair value of cash flow hedge derivatives, as well as the reclassification of deferred tax assets under assets held for sale;
  • an increase in "other non-current financial assets", largely attributable to the increase in financial assets in respect of service concession arrangements in Brazil (€243 million), partially offset by the decrease in the fair value of derivative contracts (€57 million), which were entered into to hedge the price risk on commodities;
  • a decrease in "non-current financial assets and securities included in net financial debt", mainly due to the decrease in financial assets in respect of cash deposits;
  • a decrease in "other long-term amounts due", mainly reflecting:
    • a decrease in tax assets (€34 million), mainly attributable to Brazil in respect of the dispute regarding the application of the PIS/COFIN taxes in that country;
    • a decrease in security deposits (€28 million);
    • a decrease in non-current assets deriving from contracts with customers (€36 million) mainly referring to assets under development resulting from public-to-private service concession arrangements recognized in accordance with IFRIC 12.

8.b Current assets - €57,347 million

Inventories amounted to €4,124 million, a decrease of €729 million, most of which was recognized in Italy, Spain and Latin America, essentially reflecting the combined effect of a decrease in fuel inventories and a reduction in average prices for the period compared with 2022.

Trade receivables amounted to €17,321 million, an increase of €716 million, essentially accounted for by Spain (€674 million) and Latin America (€173 million).

Other current assets break down as follows:

Other short-term amounts due 2,551 1,789 762 42.6%
Total 25,514 33,564 (8,050) -24.0%

The decrease in the period of €8,050 million is due to:

  • a decrease in "other current financial assets", essentially attributable to the fair value measurement of derivative financial instruments (€5,369 million). This mainly refers to trading derivatives and cash flow hedges stipulated to hedge the price risk on commodities which are affected by the fall in commodity prices;
  • a decrease in "other current financial assets included in net financial debt" mainly due to the decrease in assets in respect of cash collateral paid to counterparties in derivatives transactions (€2,883 million).

The change in the period was partly offset by:

  • an increase in "tax assets" relating essentially to VAT credits (€403 million);
  • an increase in "other short-term amounts due" mainly regarding an increase in prepaid expenses, essentially in respect of fees for water diversion for industrial use and insurance premiums, and an increase in assets in respect of settled commodity derivatives (€248 million), primarily in Italy and Spain.

8.c Assets classified as held for sale - €10,803 million

The item essentially includes assets measured at the lower of cost, understood as their net carrying amount, and their estimated realizable value, which, due to management decisions, meet the requirements of "IFRS 5 - Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations" for their classification in this item.

Liabilities and equity

8.d Equity attributable to the owners of the Parent - €32,192 million

The increase of €3,535 million in the first three months of 2023 in equity attributable to the owners of the Parent mainly reflects profit recognized through profit or loss for the period (€1,034 million), the recognition of the profit recognized through other comprehensive income (€1,287 million) and the change in perpetual hybrid bonds (€986 million), resulting from the issue of new bonds in the amount of €1,738 million, net of transaction costs, partly offset by the repurchase and subsequent cancellation of previous bonds in the amount of €752 million, including transaction costs.

8.e Non-current liabilities - €99,576 million

Long-term borrowings amounted to €67,803 million (€68,191 million at December 31, 2022). They consist of bonds totaling €50,667 million (€50,079 million at December 31, 2022), bank borrowings of €14,398 million (€15,261 million at December 31, 2022) and other borrowings of €2,738 million (€2,851 million at December 31, 2022).

The item decreased by €388 million, due to the decrease in bank borrowings (€863 million), essentially attributable to the reclassification of a portion to short term and other borrowings (€113 million) mainly due to the decrease in lease liabilities.

These effects were partly offset by the increase in bonds (€588 million) essentially attributable to new issues.

Provisions and deferred tax liabilities amounted to €16,806 million at March 31, 2023 (€17,800 million at December 31, 2022) and include:

  • employee benefit liabilities totaling €2,193 million, essentially unchanged from December 31, 2022;
  • provisions for risks and charges amounting to €5,907 million (€6,056 million at December 31, 2022). The item includes, among others:
    • the litigation provision of €660 million (€652 million at December 31, 2022);
    • the nuclear decommissioning provision of €566 mil-

lion (€581 million at December 31, 2022);

  • the plant dismantling and site restoration provision of €2,581 million (€2,686 million at December 31, 2022);
  • the provision for taxes and duties of €286 million (€313 million at December 31, 2022);
  • the provision for early termination incentives and other restructuring plans of €216 million (€231 million at December 31, 2022);
  • the provision for restructuring programs connected with the energy transition of €780 million (€789 million at December 31, 2022);
  • deferred tax liabilities amounting to €8,706 million (€9,542 million at December 31, 2022), with the decrease of €836 million mainly attributable to deferred taxation on cash flow hedge derivatives, the impact of exchange differences in Latin America and the reclassification of deferred tax liabilities relating to companies classified as held for sale and discontinued operations.

Other non-current liabilities amounted to €14,967 million (€15,887 million at December 31, 2022), a decrease of €920 million, substantially reflecting the change in the fair value of financial derivatives (€913 million), mainly in respect of derivatives used to hedge commodity price risk and exchange risk.

8.f Current liabilities - €60,541 million

Short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term borrowings amounted to €15,444 million (€21,227 million at December 31, 2022), and included short-term borrowings of €12,408 million (€18,392 million at December 31, 2022) and the current portion of long-term borrowings of €3,036 million (€2,835 million at December 31, 2022). The item decreased by €5,783 million, primarily reflecting the decrease in short-term borrowing (€5,984 million) mainly due to a reduction in commercial paper.

Trade payables amounted to €15,166 million (€17,641 million at December 31, 2022), down €2,475 million, mainly reflecting the decrease in commodity prices and normal developments in the fuel provisioning cycle.

Other current liabilities break down as follows:

Other 7,428 8,825 (1,397) -15.8%
Total 29,931 33,430 (3,499) -10.5%

The change in the period is essentially due to:

  • a decrease in "current financial liabilities", largely attributable to the decrease in the fair value of derivative financial instruments of €6,034, mainly regarding trading derivatives and derivatives hedging commodity price risk. This effect was slightly offset by the increase in accrued financial liabilities of €240 million;
  • a decrease in "other" liabilities, mainly regarding dividends paid in the 1st Quarter of 2023.

These factors were partially offset by:

  • an increase in "tax liabilities", primarily regarding liabilities for value-added tax (€1,025 million) as well as the estimated income tax liability for the period (€299 million);
  • an increase in "amounts due to institutional market operators", especially in Italy and Spain.

8.g Liabilities included in disposal groups classified as held for sale - €5,292 million

The item includes liabilities included in disposal groups classified as held for sale, that, in view of the decisions taken by management, meet the requirements of "IFRS 5 - Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations" for classification under this item.

9. Cash flows

In November 2010, the Board of Directors of Enel SpA approved a procedure governing the approval and execution of transactions with related parties carried out by Enel SpA directly or through subsidiaries (Enel Procedure for Transactions with Related Parties). The procedure (available at https://www.enel.com/investors/bylaws-rules-and-policies/transactions-with-related-parties/) sets out rules designed to ensure the transparency and procedural and substantive propriety of transactions with related parties. It was adopted in implementation of the provisions of Article 2391-bis of the Italian Civil Code and the implementing regulations issued by CONSOB with Resolution no. 17221 of March 12, 2010, as amended (the "CONSOB Regulation").

12. Contractual commitments and guarantees

The commitments entered into by the Enel Group and the guarantees given to third parties are shown below.

Total 142,828 177,377 (34,549)
TOTAL 146,652 181,673 (35,021)

Commitments for electricity at March 31, 2023 amounted to €65,374 million, of which €15,991 million refer to the period April 1, 2023-2027, €19,354 million to the period 2028-2032, €12,255 million to the period 2033-2037 and the remaining €17,774 million beyond 2037.

Commitments for the purchase of fuels are determined with reference to the contractual parameters and exchange rates applicable at the end of the period (as prices are variable and mainly denominated in foreign currency). At March 31, 2023 they amounted to €59,216 million, of which €13,223 million refer to the period April 1, 2023- 2027, €29,477 million to the period 2028-2032, €11,043 million to the period 2033-2037 and the remaining €5,473 million beyond 2037.

The decrease in commitments for the purchase of fuels, equal to €37,780 million, mainly reflects the decrease in gas prices in the 1st Quarter of 2023.

"Other" guarantees mainly include commitments for environmental compliance and increased volumes envisaged in the new investment plan.

13. Contingent assets and liabilities

Compared with the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2022, which the reader is invited to consult for more information, the following main changes have occurred in contingent assets and liabilities.

Brindisi Sud thermal generation plant - Ash dispute - Italy

With regard to the criminal investigation initiated by the Public Prosecutor's Office of the Court of Lecce in 2017 concerning the use of fly ash in Brindisi Sud power plant, involving accused individuals and Enel Produzione SpA pursuant to Legislative Decree 231 of June 8, 2001, on January 20, 2023, it was learned that the ruling issued during

Hydroelectric concessions - Italy

In implementation of the "Simplifications Decree" (Decree Law 135 of 2018 ratified with Law 12 of February 11, 2019) which modified the Italian regulations governing largescale hydroelectric concessions, introducing a series of innovations regarding (i) the granting of such concessions upon their expiry and the valorization of the assets and works connected to them to be transferred to the new concession holder; (ii) concession fees, establishing a fixed and variable component of fees, as well as an obligation to provide free power to public bodies (220 kWh of power for each kW of average nominal capacity of the facilities covered by the concession), various regions (Lombardy, the hearing of October 7, 2022 acquitting all of the defendants of the charges because "the alleged offense did not occur", as well as Enel Produzione SpA, declaring that the administrative offense alleged had not occurred as there were no predicate offenses, became final on December 23, 2022.

Piedmont, Emilia-Romagna, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, the Province of Trento, Calabria, Basilicata, Abruzzo and Umbria) enacted regional laws.

In particular, in application of these new regulations, most recently the regions of Abruzzo and Umbria (the latter on April 6, 2023), requested payment of the fixed portion of the fee. Enel Green Power Italia and Enel Produzione challenged the payment notices from the region of Abruzzo before the Superior Public Water Resources Court, and intend to challenge before the same Court those received from the region of Umbria for 2023.

Criminal proceeding against e-distribuzione concerning an accident - Italy

The companies challenged the assessments, arguing that they correctly deducted the tax and asserting that the assets, the purchase of which generated the ICMS, are intended for use in their electricity distribution activities. The companies are continuing to defend their actions at the various levels of adjudication.

The estimated amount involved in the proceeding at March 31, 2023 was about €103 million.

ICMS - Coelce

The State of Ceará has filed various tax assessments against Companhia Energética do Ceará SA over the years (for tax periods from 2015 to 2018), demanding the ICMS (Imposto sobre Circulação de Mercadorias e Serviços - tax on the circular of goods and services) on the subsidies paid by the Federal government against the regulatory discounts granted to certain consumers.
