FOREWORD

The Interim Financial Report at March 31, 2021 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:

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. The Business Lines are also tasked with improving the efficiency of the processes they manage and sharing best practices at the global level. 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. In 2019, Global Power Generation was created with the merger of Enel Green Power and Global Thermal Generation to confirm the Enel Group's leading role in the energy transition, pursuing an integrated process of decarbonization and the sustainable development of renewable capacity. In addition, the Grid Blue Sky project is under way. Its objective is to innovate and digitalize infrastructures and networks in order to make them an enabling factor for the achievement of the Climate Action objectives, thanks to the progressive transformation of Enel into a platform-based group.

(1) API#2 index.

(2) TTF index.

The prices of commodities rose sharply in the 1st Quarter of 2021, primarily due to the strong recovery of the Chinese economy and the manufacturing sector globally. Further support for prices came from a number of shocks is certain individual markets. An example of this was oil prices, which were buoyed by the production cut agreements implemented by OPEC+, which enable Brent to record an average price of \$61.1 a barrel in the quarter, up 20% compared with the same period of the previous year.

The drivers of natural gas prices, on the other hand, were colder temperatures, rising logistics costs and the supply shock generated in the Asian market. Certain benchmarks, including the Asian JKM and the Spanish PVB, reached record levels in the first two months of the year, while the TTF, the European market benchmark, indicated an average price of €18.5/MWh, a 90% increase compared with the 1st Quarter of 2020.

However, despite these rises in commodities prices, the market that has consistently surpassed its historical records has been that for CO2, which displayed strong resilience during the 2020 crisis and whose price continues to rise.

In the 1st Quarter of this year, it continues to register positive performance, with an average price of €37.4/ton and a renewed commitment by European authorities to ambitious decarbonization plans.

Economic developments

In a global context, the 1st Quarter of 2021 was characterized by the extension of mobility restrictions, previously introduced in the 2nd Half of 2020, to limit the growing number of COVID-19 cases. However, the rapid acceleration of the vaccination process, flanked by supportive monetary and fiscal policies introduced by governments and central banks in many countries around the world, has produced a general improvement in the short to medium term outlook for the global economy.

In the euro area, the protraction of restrictions on mobility caused output to decline in the 1st Quarter of 2021, with preliminary estimates indicating that GDP contracted by 1.7% on an annual basis, although this is a significant improvement on the figure for the previous quarter, when the contraction was 4.9%. Despite the fact that euro-area inflation is expected to increase by 1.1% on an annual basis 2

A milder contraction in GDP is expected for the Italian economy in the 1st Quarter of 2021 (according to preliminary figures the fall is estimated at 1.4% on an annual basis, compared with 6.6% in the previous quarter), mainly supported by a relaxation of the restrictive measures on travel and services. Similarly, inflation is also expected to have returned to positive territory, at about 0.6% on an annual basis.

In Spain, the labor market and tourism were heavily hit in 2020, and real GDP is expected to fall by an estimated 4.7% year-on-year in the 1st Quarter of 2021, but accompanied by a rise in inflation to 0.6% thanks to the impetus of energy prices and the gradual reopening of the tourism sector.

The US economy showed exceptional resilience in 2020 thanks to a significant response from the government and the Federal Reserve, with supportive monetary and fiscal policies that have already driven growth in the 1st Quarter of 2021 to an expected 0.5% on an annual basis. These policies, accompanied by an ambitious infrastructure plan estimated at over \$2 trillion (the American Jobs Plan), will power the American economy to strong growth in the following months, potentially returning GDP to pre-pandemic levels as soon as the fourth quarter of this year.

In Latin America, Brazil continued its path of economic recovery in the first two months of the year. However, estimates for mobility and retail sales foreshadow a sharp contraction in March due primarily to new restrictions introduced to stem the continued increase in COVID-19 cases. Although the vaccination campaign continues, the spread of the so-called "Brazilian variant", particularly among the younger segments of the population, is increasing pressure on an already struggling health system. Further risks are represented by the deterioration of the financial solidity of the country, which has led to a reduction in transfers to

households. To facilitate the recovery, the central bank is continuing its accommodative policy stance, but the sharp rise in inflation in this 1st Quarter (5.2% on an annual basis), and strong pressures on the Brazilian currency will prompt a revisions of the process of normalizing interest rates.

The Argentine economy recovered strongly in the 1st Quarter of the year despite the restrictions introduced in March. However, major concerns remain given the delays in finding an agreement with the International Monetary Fund for debt restructuring and the continuing increase in the price level, with inflation estimated at over 40% on an annual basis in the 1st Quarter of 2021.

In Chile, indicators of economic activity continue to be positive, with a strong recovery in services and retail trade, which are about 10% higher than their pre-pandemic level. The increase in coronavirus deaths led to a tightening of restrictions at the end of the 1st Quarter of 2021, which will impact growth in the second quarter. Inflation is expected to rise in this quarter, to around 3.0% on an annual basis, but this is not yet cause for concern for the central bank, which is continuing its strong stimulus action with rates expected to remain unchanged for all of 2021. With over 40% of the population vaccinated with at least one dose and the strong push from copper prices, the outlook remains positive for the entire year.

The Peruvian economy experienced a modest recovery at the beginning of the 1st Quarter, but the trend was quickly reversed following the imposition of restrictions in February to stem the acceleration of COVID-19 cases. Unlike last year, the restrictions do not involve the closure of the extractive and manufacturing industries, suggesting that the resulting contraction will be smaller than previously experienced.

In Colombia, the economy displayed considerable resilience in the 1st Quarter of the year. Growth was mainly driven by wholesale and retail sales. However, the expansion is expected to slow in March and April due to restrictions on mobility introduced by the government. On the price front, unexpected jumps in the prices of food and fuel for home heating will spurr an acceleration in inflation, estimated at over 2.8% on an annual basis. Given the transitory nature of inflationary dynamics and the country's low growth outlook in the coming months as vaccination has proceeded more slowly than expected, the central bank is not expected to raise interest rates for the next few months, despite the strong volatility of the Colombian peso.

In the first three months of 2021, electricity demand in Italy and Spain grew by 2.6% and 1.6%, respectively, compared with the same period of 2020. In both cases, the increase is mainly due to the resumption of activities in various sectors of the economy, which in March last year were at a standstill due to the lockdowns imposed by their respective governments to deal with the COVID-19 health emergency. However, demand in the services sector continues to languish in both countries, although this holds out the prospect of room for additional recovery in growth when activity resumes.

Russian electricity demand also increased, growing by 4.2% compared with the 1st Quarter of the previous year.

As for Latin America, electricity demand is substantially unchanged in all the countries in which the Group operates. Brazil is an exception, with electricity consumption increasing by 2.6%.

The demand for natural gas in Italy in the first three months of 2021 amounted to 25 billion cubic meters, an increase of 4.2% compared with the same period of 2020. The increase is attributable to consumption for distribution, which posted an increase of 7.7% compared with the 1st Quarter of 2020 due to colder weather and the impact of the protracted health emergency, which fostered an increase in remote working from home.

In Spain, consumption was in line with that recorded in the same period of 2020, despite the sharp increase in prices on the PVB hub.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS IN THE 1ST QUARTER OF 2021

Brindisi plant - Ash dispute

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 the cement industry and involving Enel's Brindisi power plant and a number of individuals, following various postponements (initially due to irregularities in notifications and, subsequently, to the adoption of measures to combat the spread of COVID-19), the first hearing was held on March 4, 2021, during which the parties argued the admissibility of the filing by the region of Puglia and the City of Brindisi to join the proceeding as civil plaintiffs. Following the discussion, the court did not issue a ruling and adjourned the hearing to June 18, 2021 at the request of the defendants, due to the continuing health emergency.

Funac and the ICMS tax relief

With regard to Law 20416, which was promulgated on February 5, 2019, with which the state of Goiás shortened from January 27, 2015 to April 24, 2012 both the period of operation of the Funac fund (established with Law 17555 of January 20, 2012) and the tax benefit system (created with Law 19473 of November 3, 2016), subsequently repealed in full by Law 20468 of April 26, 2019, the Brazilian association of electricity distribution companies ("ABRA-DEE") had filed an action for a ruling on constitutionality before the Constitutional Court of Brazil with regard to both laws, which was denied on June 3, 2020 for lack of compliance with formal requirements. On June 24, 2020, ABRADEE filed an appeal against the decision. On September 21, 2020, the Supreme Court of Brazil, without entering into the merits of the case, rejected the appeal of ABRADEE for formal reasons. The appeal filed by ABRADEE on October 15, 2020 was rejected on March 8, 2021 by the Supreme Court of Brazil and the decision became final on April 5, 2021.

Enel closes Unit I of Bocamina coal-fired plant three years ahead of date set in Chile's National Decarbonization Plan

On January 4, 2021, the Enel Group disconnected and ceased operations at Unit I of the Bocamina coal-fired power plant, which is located in the Chilean municipality of Coronel. The 128 MW Unit I was disconnected three years before the date set in Chile's National Decarbonization Plan. With this milestone, coupled with the closure of Tarapacá coal plant on December 31, 2019 and the expected closure of Enel's last coal facility in the country, Bocamina's Unit II, by May 2022, steady progress is being made towards the decarbonization of Enel's Chilean generation mix.

Moody's upgrades Enel's long-term rating to "Baa1"

On January 15, 2021, Moody's Investors Service (Moody's) announced that it had upgraded its long-term rating of Enel SpA to "Baa1" from the previous level of "Baa2". Among the rating drivers prompting the upgrade, Moody's cited:

  • › low earnings volatility driven by large scale and geographical diversification;
  • › stable earnings stemming from regulated networks and contracted generation, which account for 80% of the Group's EBITDA;
  • › solid financial profile, with funds from operations/net debt in excess of 20%.

Enel issues hybrid bonds

On February 25, 2021, the Board of Directors of Enel SpA authorized the issue, by December 31, 2021, of one or more non-convertible subordinated hybrid bonds, including perpetual bonds, for up to a maximum of €3 billion. The bonds are to be placed exclusively with European and non-European institutional investors, including through private placements.

In execution of that resolution, on March 4, 2021 Enel issued a new perpetual hybrid bond of €2.25 billion.

Enel agrees the largest ever sustainabilitylinked revolving credit facility

On March 5, 2021, Enel and its Dutch subsidiary Enel Finance International NV (EFI) signed the largest ever sustainability-linked revolving credit facility in the amount of €10 billion, with a term of five years.

The facility, which will be used to meet the Group's financial requirements, is linked to a key performance indicator consisting of direct greenhouse gas emissions (i.e., Group Scope 1 CO2 equivalent emissions from the production of electricity and heat), contributing to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13 "Climate Action" and in line with the Group's "Sustainability-Linked Financing Framework", for which Vigeo Eiris provided a second-party opinion.

The facility replaces the previous €10 billion revolving credit line obtained by Enel and EFI in December 2017 and has a lower all-in cost than the earlier facility.

Voluntary partial public tender offer for Enel Américas' shares and American Depositary Shares

As part of the process of corporate reorganization aimed at integrating the non-conventional renewable energy business of the Enel Group in Central and South America (excluding Chile) into the listed Chilean subsidiary Enel Américas SA, on March 15, 2021, Enel SpA announced that it had launched a voluntary partial public tender offer for Enel Américas common stock and American Depositary Shares (ADSs) up to a maximum overall amount of 7,608,631,104 shares (including the shares represented by ADSs), equal to 10% of the company's outstanding share capital at that date (the Offer).

The Offer period ran from March 15 to April 13, 2021.

The Offer was conditional upon the effectiveness of the merger of EGP Américas SpA into Enel Américas SA, which occurred on April 1, 2021. The merger was subject to a number of conditions, all of which were satisfied prior to the launch of the Offer. The latter was also subject to compliance with Chilean and US regulations and other applicable regulations.

COVID-19

The 1st Quarter of 2021 was substantially characterized, like 2020, by the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, with periods of greater spread and mortality accompanied by the imposition of drastic social isolation measures (lockdowns) and the total or partial closure of all economic, social and sports activities.

Vaccination campaigns have begun around the world, organized and implemented by governments, with specific vaccination plans for each country that define phases, priority groups and timelines. The situation differs considerably from country to country, depending on the pandemic situation, the vaccination programs implemented and, above all, the availability of vaccines.

Enel is strongly committed to assisting and supporting employees in participating in vaccination campaigns, offering constantly updated information on national vac-

cination programs to give them operational information and respond to any doubts or needs. It is a dynamic and constantly evolving service, coordinated by the Group and Country HSE Emergency Management teams.

In Italy, a protocol was signed between the Government, companies and trade unions in April that offers the possibility for companies to vaccinate their employees in the workplace on a voluntary basis, with the aim of strengthening the national vaccination campaign.

Even before the signing of the protocol, the Enel Group had indicated its willingness to take an active part in supporting the national vaccination campaign and is working to make facilities available throughout the country, where it will set up vaccination points on the basis of the recommendations issued by the authorities and in line with the national anti-COVID vaccination plan.

In the 1st Quarter of 2021, revenue contracted significantly due to a decline in the volume of commodity sales using contracts with physical settlement by Enel Global Trading, a decrease in reimbursements of the costs of extra-peninsular generation in Spain as a result of the decline in costs incurred, a reduction of €44 million in revenue North America following an extreme weather event in Texas in February 2021, which led to the net negative settlement of prices with local customers who had entered into a "Proxy Swap Power Purchase Agreement" and, finally, the depreciation of Latin American currencies against the euro (€779 million euros), in particular in Brazil, Argentina, Colombia and Peru.

The decrease in revenue commented above was offset by the recognition in Spain of an indemnity (equal to €188 million) relating to the CO2 emission allowances assigned under the "Plan Nacional de Asignación de Derechos de Emisión" (PNA).

The decrease in gross operating profit reflects adverse exchange rate developments, mainly in Latin America (€153 million euros), especially in the Enel Green Power and Infrastructure and Networks sectors, as well as the impact of developments with:

  • › Infrastructure and Networks (€251 million), essentially reflecting the recognition in the 1st Quarter of 2020 of a reduction in the liability in respect of the electricity discount benefit in Spain, net of provisions for early termination incentive plans recognized in the same period (a total of €178 million). In addition, charges of €32 million were recognized in the 1st Quarter of 2021 in Italy and Brazil for restructuring plans for the energy transition and digitalization launched by the Group in 2020;
  • › Thermoelectric Generation and Trading, mainly reflecting the net positive effect recognized in the 1st Quarter of 2020 in Spain of the modification of the electricity discount benefit, as well as writedowns recognized in the 1st Quarter 2021 of fuel inventories of a number of plants

subject to impairment the previous year (€13 million);

  • › Enel Green Power, and in particular Italy, in reflection of an increase in electricity purchases on the market and a decrease in revenue in North America associated with the extreme weather event in Texas mentioned earlier;
  • › End-user Markets, and in particular the free market in Spain, as a result of the impact of the decrease in the liability for the electricity discount recognized in the 1st Quarter of 2020. This negative effect was partially offset by the improvement in the performance registered on the free market in Italy.

The decreases in gross operating profit reported above were only partially offset by the improvement in Enel X's gross operating profit, especially in Italy and North America, due respectively to the recognition of revenue from services associated with new commercial initiatives and an increase in revenue from demand-response activities.

Ordinary gross operating profit

Ordinary gross operating profit amounted to €4,159 million (€4,741 million in the 1st Quarter of 2020). "Ordinary gross operating profit on low-carbon products, services and technology" equals 88.4% of the total (82.9% in the 1st Quarter of 2020).

Group profit

Group profit for the first three months of 2021 amounted to €1,176 million, compared with €1,247 million in the same period of the previous year. More specifically, the reduction in operating profit commented earlier was only partially offset by a reduction in net financial expense (€197 million), which benefitted from a decline in interest rates, an improvement in the performance of equity-accounted companies (€37 million), a reduction in taxes (€158 million) and a decline in profit attributable to non-controlling interests as a result of the recognition of the 10% increase in the investment held in Enel Américas following the launch in mid-March 2021 of the partial tender offer for that company.

Net capital employed at March 31, 2021 amounted to €90,592 million and was funded by shareholders' equity attributable to the owners of the Parent and non-controlling interests in the amount of €44,708 million and net financial debt of €45,884 million. At March 31, 2021 the debt/equity ratio was 1.03 (1.07 at December 31, 2020). The increase in net capital employed mainly reflected:

  • › an increase in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (€1,081 million), mainly due to capital expenditure in the period (€1,937 million), and the inclusion of new companies in Australia and Spain in the consolidation scope (€331 million), net of depreciation and amortization for the period equal to €1,369 million;
  • › a decrease in non-current liabilities net of non-current assets, mainly attributable to the reduction in financial liabilities connected with cash flow hedge derivatives of Enel Finance International;
  • › an increase in net working capital due to the increase in

trade receivables and electrical system equalization receivables, as well as normal developments in the payment of dividends.

"Net assets held for sale" mainly include the investment in the OpEn Fiber joint venture (€482 million) and the net assets (equal to €100 million) held in a number of companies in Africa, for which the state of progress of negotiations for their disposal meets the requirements of IFRS 5 for their classification under this item.

Total equity as at March 31, 2021 increased by €2,351 million, mainly due to the new issue of perpetual hybrid bonds, which accounted for €2,214 million. The increase in the profit for the period was partially offset by the decrease in the reserve from the translation of financial statements denominated in currencies other than the euro.

Net financial debt amounted to €45,884 million at March 31, 2021, an increase of €469 million on December 31, 2020, due mainly to the decline in the components of "cash and cash equivalents and short-term financial assets".

At March 31, 2021, gross financial debt amounted to €58,308 million, a decrease of €729 million on December 31, 2020.

More specifically, gross long-term financial debt (including the current portion) amounted to €53,565 million, of which €15,819 million in sustainable financing, and breaks down as follows:

  • › bonds in the amount of €40,444 million, of which €7,786 million in sustainable bonds, an increase of €675 million compared with December 31, 2020 due to adverse exchange rate developments. In January 2021 a fixed-rate bond issued by the Colombian company Emgesa in an amount equivalent to €173 million matured and in March 2021 Enel SpA issued a non-convertible multi-tranche subordinated perpetual hybrid bond denominated in euros, which was not recognized as a debt instrument but rather as an equity instrument, in the total amount of €2,250 million;
  • › bank borrowings in the amount of €10,259 million, of which €8,033 million in sustainable loans. These borrowings increased by €227 million compared with December 31, 2020 mainly due to the agreement of new loans, including a loan in US dollars with the equivalent value of €66 million granted to the Brazilian company Enel Distribuição Ceará;
  • › other borrowings in the amount of €2,862 million, substantially unchanged compared with December 31, 2020.

Gross short-term financial debt decreased by €1,607 million compared with December 31, 2020 to €4,743 million. It mainly includes commercial paper of €3,329 million, of which €1,837 issued by Endesa connected with sustainability goals.

Cash and cash equivalents and short- and long-term financial assets totaled €12,424 million, a decrease of €1,198 million on December 31, 2020, mainly reflecting the decrease of €761 million in cash and cash equivalents with banks and short-term securities and of €498 million in cash collateral paid.

Cash flows

Cash flows from operating activities in the first three months of 2021 were a positive €2,549 million, up €496 million on the corresponding period of the previous year, largely reflecting the decrease in cash requirements connected with the change in net current assets.

Cash flows used in investing activities in the first three months of 2021 amounted to €2,184 million, compared with €1,823 million in the first three months of 2020. Investments in property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and contract assets amounted €2,055 in the 1st Quarter of 2021, an increase on the same period of the previous year.

Investments in entities and business units, net of cash and cash equivalents acquired, amounted to €208 million and mainly regard the full consolidation of the net financial debt of a number of Australian companies previously accounted for using the equity method following the change in governance arrangements, with no change in the investment held, the acquisition by Enel Green Power España of a number of companies that own wind and photovoltaic plants for about €46 million, of which €20 million paid in the 1st Quarter (another €26 million subject to the fulfilment of certain contractual conditions) and the purchase for about €19 million by Enel X Srl of CityPoste Payment SpA, an Italian company that offers consumers access to payment services through both physical and digital channels.

Disposals of entities and business units, net of cash and cash equivalents sold, amounted to €51 million, mainly in respect of the disposal of a wind farm in Bulgaria. The same item in the first three months of 2020 mainly reported the disposal by Enel Green Power North America of a number of companies owning hydroelectric plants that had been accounted for using the equity method.

Liquidity generated by other investing/disinvesting activities in the first three months of 2021 amounted to €28

million, essentially regarding smaller disinvestments, mainly in Iberia and Latin America.

Cash flows used in financing activities showed funds absorbed in the amount of €1,121 million, while in the first three months of 2020 financing activities had absorbed cash of €1,322 million. The flow in the first three months of 2021 essentially reflected:

  • › the payment of dividends in the amount of €2,048 million;
  • › the decrease of €1,278 million in net financial debt (the balance of repayments and new borrowing);
  • › the liquidity of €2,214 million generated by the issue of

a non-convertible subordinated perpetual hybrid bond, net of transaction costs.

In the first three months of 2021, cash flows from operating activities in the amount of €2,549 million only partly funded the cash needs for investment activities totaling €2,184 million and for financing activities in the amount of €1,121 million. The difference was reflected in a decrease in cash and cash equivalents, which at March 31, 2021 amounted to €5,234 million, compared with €6,002 million at the end of 2020. This also reflected the effects of adverse developments in the exchange rates of the various local currencies against the euro in the amount of €12 million.

Capital expenditure

(1) The figure does not include €20 million regarding units classified as "held for sale".

Capital expenditure amounted to €2,035 million in the first three months of 2021, with all Business Lines posting increases compared with the 1st Quarter of 2020. "Capital expenditure on low carbon products, services and technology" amounted to 95.3% on the total.

The Enel Group, guided by energy efficiency and energy transition objectives, continued to invest above all in renewables. In particular, the increase mainly involved Chile (€109 million), the United States (€74 million), Russia (€24 million), India (€31 million) and Italy (€37 million). These increases were only partially offset by lower investments in South Africa (€101 million), Mexico (€38 million), Iberia (€7 million), Canada (€7 million), Australia (€5 million) and Brazil (€46 million, net of the impact of adverse exchange rate developments of €45 million).

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

Capital expenditure increased in Iberia to improve grid quality and customer connections to the grid and in Chile and Colombia in reflection of greater investment in quality, recovery of grid losses and ICT.

Capital expenditure also increased in the retail segment, especially in Iberia for the digitalization of customer management processes, and in the generation segment in Italy to accompany the transition from coal to gas and the consequent extraordinary maintenance activities.

Enel X's investments in Latin America also increased, no-

tably in Colombia in connection with the e-BUS project in the e-City sector and for public lighting projects. Enel X Srl also increased its capital expenditure with an increase in the capitalization of ICT costs. These effects were partially offset by a decline in Enel X's investments in Spain in the e-Home business.

RESULTS BY BUSINESS LINE

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 area, the Group has therefore adopted the following reporting sectors:

› primary segment: Business Line;

› secondary segment: geographical segment.

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 country.

The following chart outlines these organizational arrangements.

- of which Europe 5,513 4,777 736 15.4%

The increase in thermal generation is essentially attributable to an increase in generation both from fuel oil and turbo-gas plants (627 million kWh) and from coal-fired plants (195 million kWh), the latter essentially due to use for energy services of the national electrical system and technical testing of a number of plants. The increase in generation from these sources, recorded mainly in Italy (351 million kWh) and Russia (729 million kWh), was partially offset by the decrease recorded in Spain (321 million kWh) for the same types of generation plant. Generation from other higher-emission plants declined, essentially in Spain, being replaced by generation from renewable sources.

The decrease in gross operating profit in the 1st Quarter of 2021 is mainly attributable to:

  • › a reduction of €166 million in Spain, essentially attributable to an increase of €161 million in personnel costs, essentially due to the recognition in the 1st Quarter of 2020 of the positive effects of the application of Endesa's new collective bargaining agreement (5th Endesa Collective Bargaining Agreement), which involved a change in certain social benefits;
  • › a decrease of €33 million in Latin America, mainly attributable to:
    • –a reduction of €27 million in Argentina, essentially attributable to a decline in fees for the remuneration of generation capacity availability and, more generally, the costs associated with operations on the electricity market in the 1st Quarter of 2021 compared with the

same period of the previous year;

  • –a deterioration of €11 million in Chile, mainly due to an increase in provisioning costs in the 1st Quarter of 2021, only partially offset by an increase in revenue from the sale of electricity and gas;
  • › a reduction of €25 million in North America, essentially due to the deterioration in the performance of derivative contracts for the management of commodity risk (€48 million), partially offset by an increase in the margin on the sale of electricity;
  • › a decrease of €22 million in Europe, essentially registered in Russia, where the margin on the sale of electricity declined, also reflecting adverse exchange rate developments;
  • › a reduction of €21 million in Italy, mainly attributable to the deterioration of energy and gas margins, which lar-

gely reflected price developments, partially offset by an improvement in the performance of derivative contracts for the management of commodity risk.

The ordinary gross operating profit decreased by €253 million on the same period of 2020, essentially reflecting the factors discussed for gross operating profit as well as the recognition of writedowns on the inventories of a number of coal plants in Chile and Spain (€13 million), the charges provisioned in Italy for restructuring plans for the energy transition and digitalization (€2 million) and costs incurred for sanitizing workplaces, purchasing personal protective equipment and donations in response to the COVID-19 pandemic (€2 million).

(1) The 2020 figures reflect a more accurate calculation of electricity generated.

In the 1st Quarter of 2021, net electricity generation increased mainly due to an increase in output, largely from wind, solar and hydroelectric sources.

The most significant changes in wind output occurred in Brazil, with an increase of 615 million kWh, in Iberia, with an increase of 457 million kWh, in the United States and Canada, with an increase of 461 million kWh compared with the same period of 2020, and in Mexico with an increase of 111 million kWh.

Solar generation also increased, largely accounted for by Australia (+156 million kWh), the United States (+102 million kWh), Brazil (+73 million kWh) and Iberia (+59 million kWh). Hydro generation increased in Italy and Iberia, by 756 million kWh and 107 million kWh respectively, although this was largely offset by a decrease in output in nearly all Latin American countries (-749 million kWh) owing to poor water conditions.

(1) At December 31, 2020.

The increase in net efficient capacity mainly involved:

› solar generation, reflecting an increase in installed capacity in Brazil at the São Gonçalo plant and in Chile in the Campos del Sol and Azabache plants, as well as the line-by-line consolidation of a number companies in Australia that had been accounted for using the equity method following a change in governance arrangements, with no change in the investment held;

› wind generation, thanks to an increase in installed capacity at the Lagoa dos Ventos plant in Brazil, partially offset by the sale of the plants owned in Bulgaria.

The change in gross operating profit in the 1st Quarter of 2021 is essentially attributable to:

  • › a decrease in the gross operating profit registered in Latin America, mainly reflecting:
    • –the decrease in Chile essentially attributable to a decline in the quantity of electricity generated as a result of poor water conditions;
    • –a decrease in Brazil, mainly due to a decline in quantities generated, especially from hydroelectric plants, and lower prices, as well as adverse exchange rate developments;
    • –a decrease in Colombia due to a decline in sales prices for electricity generated and adverse exchange rate developments;
  • › a decrease in the gross operating profit registered in North America, mainly attributable to the net negative settlement of the Proxy Swap Power Purchase Agreement amounting to about €44 million following an extreme weather event in Texas, the effects of which were

only partially offset by an increase in revenue from tax partnerships;

  • › a decrease in the gross operating profit registered in Italy, despite the increase in quantities generated, mainly attributable to a rise in the cost of provisioning power on the market;
  • › an increase in the gross operating profit registered in Iberia, mainly attributable to the improvement in the margin on electricity, which includes the recognition of an indemnity relating to CO2 emissions allowances assigned under the "Plan Nacional de Asignación de Derechos de Emisión" (PNA).

Ordinary gross operating profit amounted to €1,054 million (€1,139 million in the 1st Quarter of 2020), a decrease of €85 million, reflecting the development noted above and the non-recurring costs of €2 million recognized in 2021 for sanitizing workplaces, purchasing personal protective equipment and donations in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Capital expenditure in the 1st Quarter of 2021 increased by €92 million compared with the same period of the previous year. In particular, the change was attributable to:

  • › an increase of €83 million in Latin America, mainly in wind (€47 million), photovoltaic (€32 million) and hydroelectric (€14 million) plants, partly offset by a decline in spending on geothermal plants (€9 million). The largest investments were mainly concentrated in Chile and Panama, partly offset by a decrease in capital expenditure in Brazil in reflection of adverse exchange rate developments;
  • › an increase of €29 million in North America, mainly

reflecting a rise in spending on storage facilities in the United States;

  • › an increase of €37 million in Italy, mainly on wind farms;
  • › an increase of €25 million in Europe, mainly on wind farms;
  • › a decline of €75 million in capital expenditure in Africa, Asia and Oceania, mainly as a result of a decrease in investments in wind farms in South Africa (€101 million) following the entry into service of a number of projects. This was partly offset by an increase in spending on wind facilities in India (€25 million);
  • › a decrease of €7 million in Iberia, mainly on wind farms.

Gross operating profit decreased:

  • › in Iberia, where the increase in volumes transported was more than offset by a reduction in electricity revenue due to the application of new remuneration parameters that came into force for the 2020-2025 regulatory period, as well as the effect of the signing in the 1st Quarter of 2020 of the 5th Endesa Collective Bargaining Agreement, which entailed a change in the electricity discount benefit for employees and former employees, with the consequent reversal of the provision for a total of €269 million, partially offset by the provision for voluntary early termination incentives amounting to €91 million;
  • › in Latin America, especially in Brazil, due to a decline in volumes transported and adverse exchange rate developments.

The declines registered in Iberia and Latin America were

partially offset by an increase in gross operating profit in Italy, due essentially to the increase in electricity transport revenue following the increase in mandatory rates for 2021 with the Regulatory Authority for Energy, Networks and Environment (ARERA) Resolution no. 564/20, published in December 2020.

Ordinary gross operating profit amounted to €1,733 million (€1,958 million in the 1st Quarter of 2020), reflecting:

  • › charges provisioned for restructuring plans for the energy transition in Brazil (€18 million);
  • › charges provisioned in Italy for restructuring plans for the energy transition and digitalization (€14 million);
  • › costs incurred mainly in Italy for sanitizing workplaces, personal protective equipment and donations in response to the COVID-19 pandemic (€7 million).

Gross operating profit for the 1st Quarter of 2021 decreased, essentially as a result of:

  • › a decrease of €124 million in Iberia, mainly attributable to a reduction in the volumes and sales prices of electricity on the free market and to an increase in personnel costs, which in the 1st Quarter of 2020 had benefited from the signing of the 5th Endesa Collective Bargaining Agreement and the associated change in the electricity discount benefit for employees and former employees, with the consequent reversal of the provision in the amount of €25 million;
  • › a reduction of 8 million in Brazil, essentially related to adverse exchange rate developments.

These effects were partially offset by:

  • › an increase of €93 million in Italy, reflecting an increase of €100 million in gross operating profit on the free market, due substantially to an increase in sales, partially offset by a decline of €7 million on the regulated market;
  • › an increase of €10 million in Romania, due to an increase in unit prices and lower provisioning costs.

Ordinary gross operating profit amounted to €912 million (€941 million in the 1st Quarter of 2020), reflecting the charges provisioned for restructuring plans for the energy transition and digitalization in Italy (€3 million) and Brazil (€1 million).

Gross operating profit mainly increased in Italy and North America, due respectively to the recognition of revenue from services associated with new commercial initiatives and an increase in revenue from the demand-response business.

Ordinary gross operating profit amounted to €41 million, an increase of €33 million compared with the same period of 2020. No non-recurring items were registered in the 1st Quarter of 2021.

Capital expenditure increased mainly in Latin America for projects connected with public electric mobility, in particular in Colombia (the e-BUS project) and at Enel X Srl as a result of an increase in the capitalization of ICT costs. These effects were partially offset by a decline in spending in Spain in the e-Industries and e-Home businesses, mainly due to a change in the business model.

The increase in the gross operating loss in the first three months of 2021 is attributable to the reduction of €20 million in Iberia, mainly reflecting a reduction in revenue for the provision of services to other Group companies, only partially offset by a reduction in costs for services and personnel expenses. The reduction in gross operating profit recognized under "other" is mainly related to the increase in personnel expenses recorded by Enel SpA and Enel Iberia.

Ordinary gross operating loss increased by €23 million compared with the 1st Quarter of 2020. Non-recurring items include charges provisioned for restructuring plans for the energy transition and digitalization in the amount of €4 million and costs of €2million incurred, mainly in Italy, for sanitizing workplaces, purchases of personal protective equipment and donations in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

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, 2021, Enel has prepared separate reclassified schedules that differ from the schedules envisaged under the IFRS-EU adopted by the Group. 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 of our business.

With regard to those indicators, on December 3, 2015, CONSOB issued Communication no. 92543/15, which gives force to the Guidelines issued on October 5, 2015, by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) concerning the presentation of alternative performance measures in regulated information disclosed or prospectuses published as from July 3, 2016. These Guidelines, which update the previous CESR Recommendation (CESR/05- 178b), 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. Accordingly, 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: it is calculated by adjusting the "Gross operating profit" for all items generated by non-recurring transactions, such as acquisitions or disposals of businesses (for example, capital gains and losses), with the exception of those transactions carried out in the renewables segment related to the new "Build, Sell and Operate" business model introduced in the 4th Quarter of 2016, where the income from the disposal of projects represents an ordinary activity for the Group. Following the emergency of the COVID-19 pandemic, in the 1st Quarter of 2020, non-recurring items also include costs incurred directly in response to COVID-19 (such as costs for the sanitization of workplaces, the purchase of personal protective equipment, vaccinations and donations).

Ordinary operating profit: it is calculated by adjusting the "Operating profit" for the effects of the non-recurring transactions referred to with regard to the ordinary gross operating margin, as well as significant impairment losses on assets, including following impairment testing or classification under "Assets held for sale".

Group ordinary profit: it is defined as "Group profit" generated by Enel's core business and is equal to "Group profit" excluding the impact on it (and therefore net of any tax effects and non-controlling interests) of the items discussed under "Ordinary operating profit".

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 payables" included in "Other current liabilities".

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

Net capital employed: calculated as the sum of "Net non-current assets" and "Net working capital", "Provisions 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" and "Short-term borrowings and the current portion of long-term borrowings", taking 2

account of "Short-term financial liabilities" included in "Other current liabilities";

  • › net of "Cash and cash equivalents";
  • › net of the "Current portion of long-term loan assets", "Factoring receivables", "Cash collateral" and "Other financial assets" included in "Other current financial assets";
  • › net of "Securities" and "Other financial assets" included in "Other non-current financial assets".

More generally, the net financial debt of the Enel Group is calculated in accordance with paragraph 127 of Recommendation CESR/05-054b implementing Regulation (EC) no. 809/2004 and in line with the CONSOB instructions of July 28, 2006, net of financial receivables and long-term securities.

Main changes in the scope of consolidation

In the two periods under review, the scope of consolidation changed as a result of a number of transactions. For more information, please see note 3 of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2021.

OUTLOOK

In an economic and social context that has been profoundly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Enel Group has displayed considerable resilience thanks to a business model that is integrated along the entire value chain, a sound financial structure and a high level of digitalization.

The pandemic also represented an opportunity to reprogram business activities from a green perspective and to boost investments in the ecological transition and digitalization, especially at the European level. In this context, in November 2020, the Group presented the Strategic Plan for 2021-2023, at the same time providing a vision of the business over the next ten years.

In particular, the new Strategic Plan envisages the adoption of two business models: a traditional "Ownership" model, in which digital platforms are promoters of the business to support the profitability of investments, and a "Stewardship" model, which catalyzes investments by third parties in collaboration with Enel or in the context of business-generating platforms.

Within these two business models, in 2021-2030 the Group will invest over €150 billion through the Ownership business model and an additional €10 billion through the Stewardship business model, while at the same time mobilizing some €30 billion in additional third-party investment. With these investments, it is expected that between 2020 and 2030 the Group's ordinary EBITDA will grow at a CAGR of 5-6%, with ordinary profit growing at a CAGR of 6-7%.

In 2021-2023, the Group expects to invest around €40 billion directly, of which €38 billion through the Ownership business model and around €2 billion through the Stewardship business model, while mobilizing €8 billion in investment from third parties.

With regard to the investments planned within the framework of the Ownership business model, more than half will be primarily dedicated to increasing renewable generation capacity, which will rise to 60 GW on a consolidated basis in 2023, and about 43% will be dedicated to Infrastructure and Networks, increasing the Group's RAB to €48 billion in 2023. The remainder will be dedicated to the Customers business, with a major increase expected in value per customer.

Investments under the Stewardship model will be dedicated to renewable energy, as well as to fiber optics, e-Transport and flexibility services.

Over the period covered by the Plan, Enel will implement a simple, predictable and attractive dividend policy: shareholders will receive a fixed, guaranteed and increasing dividend per share (DPS) over the next three years, with the aim of reaching €0.43 per share by 2023.

In the remaining nine months of 2021, the following are expected:

  • › an acceleration of investments in renewable energy to support industrial growth and as part of the decarbonization policies we have adopted;
  • › an increase in investments to improve the quality, resilience and digitalization of distribution networks;
  • › an increase in investments dedicated to the electrification of energy consumption and the maximizing value per customer, supported by the creation of global business platforms.

The guidance provided to the financial markets on the occasion of the presentation of the 2021-2023 Business Plan in November 2020 has not changed: in 2021 the Company expects ordinary EBITDA of €18.7-19.3 billion and ordinary profit of €5.4-5.6 billion.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT MARCH 31, 2021

1. Accounting policies and measurement criteria

The accounting standards adopted, the recognition and measurement criteria and the consolidation criteria and methods used for the condensed consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2021 are the same as those adopted for the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2020 (please see the related report for more information). In addition, as from January 1, 2021 the following amendments of accounting standards have become applicable to the Enel Group.

  • › "Amendment to IFRS 16: COVID 19-related rent concessions", issued on May 28, 2020 in order to permit lessees to not account for rent concessions (rent payment holidays, deferral of lease payments, reductions in rent for a period of time, possibly followed by rent increases in future periods) as lease modifications if they are a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic and meet certain conditions. According to IFRS 16, a lease modification is a change in the scope of a lease, or the consideration for a lease, that was not part of the original terms and conditions of the lease. Accordingly, rent concessions would represent lease modifications unless they were provided for in the original lease agreement. The amendment applies only to lessees, while lessors are required to apply the current provisions of IFRS 16.
  • › "Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, and IFRS 16 Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Phase 2", issued in August 2020. The amendments supplement those issued in 2019 (Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Phase 1) and

address issues that could affect financial reporting after a benchmark has been reformed or replaced with an alternative benchmark rate. The objectives of the Phase 2 amendments are to assist companies: (i) in applying the IFRSs when changes occur in contractual cash flows or hedging relationships due to the reform of the benchmarks for determining interest rates; and (ii) in providing information to users of financial statements.

In addition, when the Phase 1 exemptions cease to apply, companies are required to amend the documentation of hedging relationship to reflect the changes required under the IBOR reform by the end of the year in which the changes are made (such changes do not constitute the discontinuation of the hedging relationship). When the description of a hedged element in the documentation of the hedging relationship is changed, the amounts accumulated in the hedging reserve shall be considered to be based on the alternative benchmark rate on the basis of which the future hedged cash flows will be determined.

The amendments will require providing additional disclosures about the entity's exposure to the risks arising from the interest rate benchmark reform and related risk management activities.

Seasonality

The turnover and performance of the Group could be impacted, albeit slightly, by developments in weather conditions. More specifically, in warmer periods of the year, gas sales decline, while during periods in which factories are closed for holidays, electricity sales decline. In view of the slight financial impact of these variations, considering that the Group's operations are spread across both hemispheres, no additional disclosure (required under IAS 34.21) for developments in the 12 months ended March 31, 2021 is provided.

2. 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 2021 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, 2021are shown in the following table.

Periods Cumulative change in
general consumer price

From July 1, 2009 to December 31,

From January 1, 2020 to December 31,
2020
35.41%
From January 1, 2021 to March 31, 2021 11.76%

In the 1st Quarter of 2021, the application of IAS 29 generated net financial income (gross of tax) of €15 million.

The following tables report the effects of IAS 29 on the balance at March 31, 2021 and the impact of hyperinflation on the main income statement items for the 1st Quarter of 2021, 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.

3. Main changes in the consolidation scope

At March 31, 2021, the scope of consolidation had changed with respect to March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2020, as a result of the following main transactions.

2020

› In January 2020, the Wild Plains project company, 100% owned by Tradewind, was sold. The sale did not have an impact on profit or loss.

2021

  • › On January 8, 2021, the sale of 100% of Tynemouth Energy Storage was finalized for €1 million. The sale had no significant impact on profit or loss.
  • › On January 20, 2021, the sale of 100% of Enel Green Power Bulgaria was finalized for €35 million. The sale had no significant impact on profit or loss.
  • › On March 10, 2021, Enel Green Power Italia acquired 100% of e-Solar Srl, the owner of a photovoltaic project with an authorized capacity of 170.11 MW, for €2.7 million.
  • › On March 29, 2021, Enel X Srl acquired 100% of CityPoste Payment SpA, an Italian company that offers consumers access to payment services through both physical and digital channels, enabling them to carry out numerous types of transactions with private- and public-sector entities.
  • › In the 1st Quarter of 2021, Enel Green Power España acquired 100% of 13 renewable energy companies in Spain for a total €46 million.
  • › In the 1st Quarter of 2021 the consolidation scope changed with the global consolidation of Australian renewable energy companies, previously accounted for using the

equity method, due to a change in governance arrangements at the companies, without the acquisition of an additional interest.

Other changes

In addition to the above changes in the consolidation scope, the following transactions, which although they do not represent transactions involving the acquisition or loss of control, gave rise to a change in the interest held by the Group in the investees:

› on March 15, Enel SpA launched a partial voluntary tender offer for up to a maximum of 7,608,631,104 shares of Enel Américas, equal to 10% of the share capital at that date. At March 31, 2021, the Group's interest had reached 75%.

Acquisition of CityPoste Payment

On March 29, 2021, Enel X Srl acquired 100% CityPoste Payment SpA, a payment institution authorized to operate by the Bank of Italy, for the provision of payment services, through the digital channel (using a proprietary platform) and the physical channel (its network of points of sale). The Group will determine the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed within 12 months of the acquisition date.

In line with the recommendations of ESMA, contained in the public statements1 published in March, May, July and October 2020, and of CONSOB, contained in Warning Notices no. 6/20 of April 9, 2020, no. 8/20 of July 16, 2020 and no. 1/21 of February 16, 2021, the Group has continued to carefully monitor the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic with regard to the main areas affected by it and in the main countries in which it operates, as already discussed in the Integrated Annual Report at December 31, 2020, in order to assess, based on our specific corporate circumstances and the availability of reliable information, the scale of the impact of COVID-19 on operations, performance and financial position of the Group at March 31, 2021. In this regard, note that the figures registered in the 1st Quarter of 2021 were not significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, the changes in revenue and receivables in the period compared with the year-earlier period did not display any anomalous developments attributable to the direct and/or indirect effects of the pandemic.

Nor did non-financial assets and any impairment losses recognized (IAS 36) as well as the measurement of trade receivables (IFRS 9) experience any significant changes compared with December 31, 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic that would require further discussion.

Finally, in the 1st Quarter of 2021 vaccination campaigns started in the various countries in which the Group operates and Enel is strongly committed to assisting and supporting employees in participating in these campaigns.

(1) The figure for 2020 reflects the reclassification of €134 million from "Other sales and services" to "Sale of value-added services".

In the 1st Quarter of 2021 revenue from the "sale of electricity" amounted to €9,095 million, down €73 million on the same period of the previous year (-0.8%). The reduction is mainly due to:

  • › a significant reduction in revenue in Latin America (€214 million), largely reflecting the depreciation of local currencies against the euro, mainly in Brazil, Argentina, Colombia and Peru;
  • › a reduction in revenue from the sale of electricity to end users, mainly due to the reduction in volumes sold in Spain and Romania.

These effects were partially offset by:

› the recognition of an indemnity paid to Endesa (€188 million) to offset the reduction of the past remuneration in respect of CO2 emission rights granted to Endesa under "Plan Nacional de Asignación de Derechos de Emisión" (PNA);

  • › an increase in revenue from the sale of electricity to end users in Italy, mainly due to a rise in volumes sold on the free market (+€74 million) and greater equalization payments connected with the increase in purchase costs in the regulated market (+€72 million);
  • › an increase in revenue registered by Enel Global Trading (+€23 million) mainly due to an improvement in performance achieved on the spot market in Italy.

The increase of €86 million in revenue from "transport of electricity" (+3.3%) compared with the 1st Quarter of 2021 essentially reflects an increase in the mandatory rates established for 2021 in Italy.

"Transfers from institutional market operators" decreased by €107 million compared with the 1st Quarter of 2020, mainly due to a reduction in reimbursements of costs for extra-peninsular generation in Spain as a result of a decline in costs incurred.

The decrease of 34 million (-2.8%) in revenue from the "sale of gas" compared with the 1st Quarter of 2020 is mainly attributable to a reduction in quantities sold and the decline in prices in Italy (-€115 million). These negative effects were partially offset by an increase in sales volumes and prices in Spain (+€80 million).

The increase in revenue from the "sale of energy commodities under contracts with physical settlement" (+€1,291 million) mainly regards gas sales. This positive effect was more than offset by the loss on the fair value measurements of these contracts (-€4,037 million), mainly for gas.

The following table shows the net income in respect of contracts for the purchase and sale of commodities with physical settlement measured at fair value through profit or loss within the scope of IFRS 9.

"Grants for environmental certificates", equal to €67 million, decreased by €36 million compared with the previous year, mainly at e-distribuzione due to a decrease in grants received from the Energy and Environmental Services Fund for energy efficiency certificates (EECs), mainly reflecting the decrease in quantities handled.

"Other revenue" showed an increase of €36 million, mainly due to:

  • › the recognition of €26 million in revenue from new commercial initiatives at Enel X Italia;
  • › an increase of €14 million in revenue from tax partnerships at Enel Green Power North America.

Costs

6.b Costs - €14,864 million

Millions of euro 1st Quarter
2021 2020 Change
Electricity purchases 4,239 4,234 5 0.1%
Consumption of fuel for electricity generation 663 753 (90) -12.0%
Fuel for trading and gas for sale to end users 2,800 4,108 (1,308) -31.8%
Materials 360 540 (180) -33.3%
Personnel 1,158 742 416 56.1%
Services, leases and rentals 3,972 3,915 57 1.5%
Depreciation, amortization and impairment losses 1,566 1,599 (33) -2.1%
Costs of environmental certificates 175 170 5 2.9%
Other operating expenses 452 472 (20) -4.2%
Capitalized costs (521) (449) (72) 16.0%
Total 14,864 16,084 (1,220) -7.6%

The decrease in costs for the "consumption of fuel for electricity generation" is mainly attributable to the decrease in the volume of thermal generation in Spain.

The decline in costs for the purchase of "fuel for trading and gas for sale to end users" reflects the decrease in volumes handled, mainly due to the reduction in gas purchase costs.

Costs for "materials" essentially decreased due to a decline in costs for the purchase of CO2 allowances (-€245 million), mainly reflecting the fair value measurement of contracts with physical settlement (IFRS 9).

In the first three months of 2021, the increase in "personnel" costs mainly reflected the effect of the lower costs incurred in Spain in the 1st Quarter of last year due to the modification of the electricity discount benefit for employees and former employees following the renewal and the entry into force of the 5th Endesa Collective Bargaining Agreement, which produced a reduction of €515 million in the associated liability, only partially offset by the increase of €133 million in costs incurred in Spain in the 1st Quarter of last year in respect of charges for early termination incentives.

The Enel Group workforce at March 31, 2021 numbered 66,438, of whom 38,307 employed abroad. In the first three months of 2021, the workforce contracted by 279, reflecting the balance between new hires and terminations (-302), partially offset by the change in the consolidation scope (+23), mainly reflecting the sale of Enel Green Power Bulgaria and the acquisition of CityPoste Payment SpA in Italy.

The overall change compared with December 31, 2020 breaks down as follows:

Balance at December 31, 2020 66,717
Hirings 878
Terminations (1,180)
Change in consolidation scope 23
Balance at March 31, 2021 66,438

The increase in costs for "services, leases and rentals" is mainly due to an increase in costs for wheeling, mainly in Italy and Spain as a result of an increase volumes purchased and prices charged.

The reduction in "depreciation, amortization and impairment losses" mainly reflected the lower impairment losses recognized on trade receivables in the 1st Quarter of 2021.

In the first three months of 2021, "capitalized costs" increased by €72 million compared with the same period of the previous year, almost entirely attributable to the Infrastructure and Networks Business Line, mainly reflecting investments, notably in Italy.

6.c Net income/(expense) from commodity derivatives - €282 million

Net income from commodity derivatives amounted to €282 million in the first three months of 2021 (net expen2

se of €792 million in the same period of 2020) and breaks down as follows:

  • › net expense on cash flow hedge derivatives in the amount of €54 million (net income of €7 million in the first three months of 2020);
  • › net income on derivatives at fair value through profit or loss in the amount of €336 million (net expense of €799 million in the first three months of 2020).

6.d Net financial expense - €421 million

Net financial expense decreased by €197 million on the same period of 2020.

More specifically, financial income in the first three months of 2021 amounted to €2,047 million, an increase of €608 million on the same period of 2020 (€1,439 million). The change mainly reflect the following factors:

  • › an increase of €483 million in income from derivative instruments, mainly in respect of the measurement of outstanding contracts to hedge the risk of fluctuations in exchange rates for loans denominated in foreign currencies;
  • › the recognition of financial income of €70 million in Spain for default interest accrued on Endesa's right to be indemnified for the past reduction in its remuneration concerning the grant of CO2 emissions allowances under "Plan Nacional de Asignación de Derechos de Emisión"(PNA);
  • › an increase of €42 million in exchange gains.

Financial expense in the first three months of 2021 amounted to €2,483 million, an increase of €408 million compared with the first three months of 2020. The change is mainly attributable to the following factors:

  • › an increase of €357 million in exchange losses;
  • › an increase of €84 million in expense on derivative instruments, mainly attributable to the measurement of outstanding contracts to hedge the risk of fluctuations in exchange rates for loans denominated in foreign currencies.

These effects were partially offset by a decrease of €48 million in interest expense on financial liabilities, essentially reflecting the reduction in interest on bonds (€62 million), while interest on bank borrowings increased by €13 million, mainly due to an increase in interest on revolving credit lines.

Finally, net income from hyperinflation adjustments recognized by the Argentine companies in application of IAS 29 concerning accounting for hyperinflationary economies amounted to €15 million in the first three months of 2021, a decrease of €3 million on the same period of 2020 (€18 million).

6.e Share of profit/(loss) of equity-accounted investments - €34 million

The share of net profit of equity-accounted investments in the first three months of 2021 amounted to €34 million. The improvement of €37 million is mainly due to the profit posted by Slovak Power Holding.

6.f Income taxes - €643 million

Income taxes for the 1st Quarter of 2021 amounted to €643 million, equal to 30.1% of pre-tax profit (compared with 32.2% for the first three months of 2020). The decrease in the tax rate mainly reflected:

  • › the recognition of deferred tax assets (€26 million) on property, plant and equipment by the electricity distribution company in Argentina;
  • › the application of the "presumed profit" tax regime in Brazil (€10 million);
  • › a decrease in withholding tax (24 million), mainly on dividends distributed during the period or to be distributed. These effects were only partially offset by the reversal of a tax credit of Enel Green Power SpA (€22 million) following the Astrid transaction, which was completed in April 2021 with the aim of reorganizing the Enel Green Power Business Line in Latin America.

Assets

7.a Non-current assets - €130,107 million

Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, including investment property, amounted to €97,570 million at March 31, 2021, an increase of €1,081 million. The change is mainly attributable to investments in the period (€1,914 million), exchange gains (€56 million) and changes in the consolidation scope (€331 million). The latter are attributable to the consolidation of the Bungala companies in Australia, which had previously been accounted for using the equity method, and the acquisition by Enel Green Power España of a number of wind and photovoltaic plants.

These positive impacts were partially offset by depreciation, amortization and impairment losses of €1,373 million.

Goodwill amounted to €13,783 million, an increase of €4 million attributable to the change in the consolidation scope associated with the acquisition of CityPoste Payment SpA. This was partially offset by exchange losses recorded in the Latin American countries, notably Brazil, and in Romania.

Equity accounted investments amounted to €848 million, a decrease of €13 million compared with the end of the previous year, mainly reflecting:

  • › changes in OCI connected with cash flow hedge derivatives (€23 million);
  • › the negative effects of the consolidation scope changes recorded in Australia (€32 million) associated with the consolidation of the Bungala companies, which had previously been accounted for using the equity method;
  • › dividends distributed in the period in the amount of €9 million, mainly by Rusenergosbyt and to a smaller extent by a number of Spanish companies. These effects were offset by:
  • › exchange gains (€15 million);
  • › the profits attributable to the Group of equity accounted companies, with the greatest contribution coming from Rusenergosbyt and Slovak Power Holding, only partially offset by the losses of other companies.

Other non-current assets include:

Millions of euro
at Mar. 31, 2021 at Dec. 31, 2020 Change
Deferred tax assets 8,200 8,578 (378) -4.4%
Receivables and securities included in net financial debt 2,773 2,745 28 1.0%
Other non-current financial assets 3,863 3,650 213 5.8%
Receivables due from institutional market operators 191 186 5 2.7%
Other long-term receivables 2,879 (1) 2,612 (1) 267 10.2%
Total 17,906 17,771 135 0.8%

(1) The item includes investments in contract assets of €354 million at Mar. 31, 2021 and €462 million at Dec. 31, 2020.

The increase in the period, equal to €135 million, essentially reflects:

  • › an increase in "other non-current financial assets", essentially attributable to developments in the fair value of cash flow hedge derivatives on exchange rates and commodity prices (€245 million);
  • › an increase in "other long-term receivables", mainly attributable to an increase in tax assets (€227 million) recorded in Brazil in connection with the outcome of the PIS/ COFINS dispute and in Italy by Enel X Italia Srl associated with ecobonus, earthquake bonus and the 110% super bonus tax credits for certain categories of building works;
  • › a decrease in "deferred tax assets", attributable to unfavorable exchange rate developments in Latin America, the reversal of deferred tax assets on differences in the value of non-current assets, mainly in Italy and Spain, a

decrease in deferred tax assets linked to the developments in the fair value of cash flow hedge derivatives and the reversal of deferred tax assets by Enel Iberia, the parent of the consolidated tax group in Spain.

7.b Current assets - €36,293 million

Inventories amounted to €2,702 million, an increase of €301 million, most of which was recognized in Italy, essentially reflecting the increase in inventories of CO2 emissions allowances.

Trade receivables amounted to €12,257 million, an increase of €211 million, mainly recognized in Italy and Spain, partly offset by the decrease registered in Latin America, es-

sentially as a result of the depreciation of local currencies, especially in Brazil.

Other current assets break down as follows.

Millions of euro
at Mar. 31, 2021 at Dec. 31, 2020 Change
Current financial assets included in debt 4,513 4,971 (458) -9.2%
Other current financial assets 5,721 3,613 2,108 58.3%
Tax assets 2,204 1,294 910 70.3%
Amounts due from institutional market operators 1,616 1,258 358 28.5%
Other short-term amounts due 2,142 1,648 494 30.0%
Total 16,196 12,784 3,412 26.7%

2

The increase in the period of €3,412 million is due to:

  • › an increase in "other current financial assets", essentially attributable to the fair value measurement of derivative financial instruments (equal to €5,544 million at March 31, 2021 and €3,471 million at December 31, 2020);
  • › an increase in "tax assets" relating essentially to VAT credits (€743 million);
  • › an increase in "amounts due from institutional market operators", which mainly include amounts due from the Italian electrical system of €1,032 million (€890 million at December 31, 2020) and the Spanish electrical system of €566 million (€337 million at December 31, 2020). More specifically, in Italy the increase is mainly attributable to an increase in amounts due from the Energy and Environmental Services Fund, mainly claimed by Servizio Elettrico Nazionale and essentially connected with purchase equalization mechanisms, while in Spain the increase is mainly attributable to the indemnity paid to Endesa for the CO2 emission allowances granted under the "Plan Nacional de Asignación de Derechos de Emisión" (PNA);
  • › an increase in "other short-term amounts due" mainly regards an increase in prepaid expenses, largely in respect of fees for water diversion for industrial use, items connected with personnel and insurance premiums and advances paid to third parties and sundry other receivables;
  • › a decrease in "current financial assets included in debt", mainly due to the reduction of other current financial assets (€447 million), essentially related to a decrease in cash collateral paid to counterparties for transactions in derivative contracts.

7.c Assets classified as held for sale - €1,414 million

The item essentially includes assets measured at their estimated realizable value based on the current state of negotiations that, in view of the decisions taken by management, meet the requirements of IFRS 5 for classification under this item.

The balance at March 31, 2021 regards a number of renewable energy companies in Africa held for sale (€926 million), the equity accounted investment in OpEn Fiber (€482 million) and the plants held for sale connected with the Enel Produzione business unit represented by the Ettore Majorana site of Termini Imerese, as well as the plant held by the Panamanian company Liano Sanchez Solar Power One SA.

Liabilities and equity

7.d Equity attributable to the owners of the Parent - €31,357 million

The increase of €3,032 million in the first three months of 2021 in equity attributable to the owners of the Parent mainly reflects profit recognized through profit or loss for the period (€1,176 million), the recognition of the profit recognized through other comprehensive income (€55 million) and the subscription of a new perpetual hybrid bond in the amount, net of transaction costs, of €2,214 million. These factors were only partially offset by the decrease in the translation reserve for financial statements denominated in foreign currencies pertaining to the owners of the Parent following the change in the consolidation scope with the purchase of 10% of Enel Américas.

7.e Non-current liabilities - €79,665 million

Long-term borrowings amounted to €50,415 million (€49,519 million at December 31, 2020). They consist of bonds totaling €38,964 million (€38,357 million at December 31, 2020), bank borrowings of €8,945 million (€8,663 million at December 31, 2020) and other borrowings of €2,506 million (€2,499 million at December 31, 2020). The item increased by €896 million, mainly due to the increase in bonds (€607 million), essentially due to exchange losses, and bank borrowings (€282 million), primarily due to new borrowing.

Provisions and deferred tax liabilities amounted to €16,210 at March 31, 2021 (€16,535 million at December 31, 2020) and include:

  • › employee benefits totaling €2,880 million, down €84 million on December 31, 2020, mainly in Latin America due to exchange gains;
  • › provisions for risks and charges amounting to €5,638 million (€5,774 million at December 31, 2020). The item includes, among others:
    • –the litigation provision of €734 million (€734 million at December 31, 2020);
    • –the nuclear decommissioning provision of €542 million (€596 million at December 31, 2020), with the reduction mainly reflecting the recalculation of future costs in Spain;
    • –the plant dismantling and site restoration provision of €2,037 million (€2,017 million at December 31, 2020);
  • –the provision for taxes and duties of €249 million (€288 million at December 31, 2020);
  • –the provision for early termination incentives and other restructuring plans €545 million (€623 million at December 31, 2020), with the increase mainly attributable to Spain following the reclassification of amounts expected to be used in the year to current provisions;
  • –the provision for restructuring programs connected with the energy transition of €769 million (€759 million at December 31, 2020), the increase in which was connected with the provisions recognized in Brazil in the 1st Quarter of 2021. The current component of the provision amounts to €32 million, reflecting provisions recognized in Italy and Brazil in the 1st Quarter of 2021;
  • › deferred tax liabilities amounting to €7,692 million (€7,797 million at December 31, 2020), with the reduction of €105 million mainly attributable to Chile for offsetting against analogous deferred tax assets.

Other non-current liabilities amounted to €13,040 million (€13,255 million at December 31, 2020), a decrease of €215 million, largely reflecting the change in the fair value of financial derivatives (€390 million), mainly in respect of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges of exchange and interest rate risk, as well as the depreciation of the currencies of the Latin American countries against the euro.

These factors were partially offset by an increase in liabilities connected with the outcome of the PIS/COFINS dispute in Brazil (already discussed under "non-current assets").

7.f Current liabilities - €42,615 million

Short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term borrowings amounted to €7,889 million (€9,513 million at December 31, 2020) and included short-term borrowings of €4,739 million (€6,345 million at December 31, 2020) and the current portion of long-term borrowings of €3,150 million (€3,168 million at December 31, 2020). The item decreased by €1,624 million, primarily reflecting the contraction in commercial paper (€1,525 million).

Trade payables amounted to €12,726 million (€12,859 million at December 31, 2020), down €133 million, reflecting normal developments in the supply chain, accentuated by a decline in costs for fuel provisioning and the depreciation of the currencies of the Latin American countries against the euro.

Other current liabilities break down as follows.

Total 22,000 18,607 3,393 18.2%

2

The change in the period is essentially due to:

  • › an increase in "current financial liabilities", largely attributable to the increase in the fair value of derivative financial instruments of €1,871 million, relating to derivatives at the FVTPL (€1,906 million) mainly hedging commodity price risk, as well as the increase in accrued financial liabilities of €153 million;
  • › an increase in "tax liabilities", primarily regarding liabilities for value-added tax (€1,063 million) as well as the estimated income tax liability for the period (€375 million);
  • › a reduction in "other" liabilities, essentially attributable to dividends paid during the 1st Quarter of 2021;
  • › a decrease in "amounts due to institutional market operators", especially in Spain.

Enel Board of Directors resolves to sell 10% of OpEn Fiber to CPD Equity

On April 30, 2021, the Board of Directors of Enel SpA resolved to initiate the procedures for the sale of 10% of the share capital of OpEn Fiber SpA to CDP Equity SpA (CDPE), granting the CEO specific authority to accomplish this. Based on the offer received from CDPE, the price for the sale of 10% of the share capital of OpEn Fiber is equal to €530 million and includes the transfer to CDPE of 20% of Enel's portion of the shareholder loan granted to OpEn Fiber, including accrued interest. It was determined as a pro-rated portion of the price of €2,650 million for the sale of 50% of the share capital of OpEn Fiber to Macquarie Infrastructure & Real Assets (MIRA) – including the transfer of 100% of Enel's portion of the shareholder loan granted to OpEn Fiber, including accrued interest – provided for in the final offer of MIRA, which was examined and favorably evaluated by the Board of Directors of Enel at its meeting of December 17, 2020.

CDPE's offer provides for the payment of an earn-out to Enel – analogous to that envisaged in MIRA's final offer – linked to the possible positive conclusion, with a final judgment, of the dispute initiated by OpEn Fiber against TIM SpA for anti-competitive conduct by the latter. In particular, this earn-out would pay Enel 75% of any net compensation that should consequently be collected by OpEn Fiber and is expected to be paid to Enel based on the dividends distributed by OpEn Fiber to its shareholders in any case. The earn-out will be calculated in proportion to the 10% stake in OpEn Fiber sold by Enel to CDPE.

The completion of the sale of 10% of the share capital of OpEn Fiber from Enel to CDPE, expected by the end of November 2021, is subject to the simultaneous completion of the sale of 40% of the share capital of OpEn Fiber by Enel to MIRA as well as the payment to OpEn Fiber, in line with the shareholder commitments already set out in the current business plan, of a capital injection of up to €194 million, of which €97 million pertaining to Enel.
