CGE Electricidad
classified as held for sale following disposal agreement
with China State Grid
Energy management Energy management composed of i) markets and procurement, ii)
international LNG, iii) pipelines (EMPL), iv) Spain thermal generation and
v) international thermal generation
Markets and procurement includes all gas procurement and internal and
external sales (except from International LNG and gas sales to end
customers <500GWh in Spain)
Renewables Includes all renewable generation (including hydro) previously reported as
part of European power generation and International power generation
Supply Includes all power sales to end customers in Spain
Includes gas sourcing from markets and procurement unit and sales to
end customers < 500GWh in Spain

Reporting focused on energy transition and aligned with new organizational structure

Key highlights

2020 EBITDA guidance met at constant perimeter

Ordinary EBITDA evolution by key drivers (€m)

Excluding CGE Electricidad

Negative headwinds partly offset with opex efficiencies and gas contracts renegotiations

Asset valuation review (€m)

Non cash €1,363m asset valuation review driven by scenario

CGE Electricidad disposal agreement

Summary

  • Purchase price of €2,570m (equity value) fixed in Euros and payable in cash upon completion. The transaction implies an enterprise value (100%) of €4,312m
  • The transaction is expected to generate pre-tax capital gains of approximately €400m on pre-tax cash proceeds of €2,570m to be cashed in 2021

ND/LTM EBITDA proforma of the transaction would stand at 3.0x ( vs. 3.7x ordinary) as of December 2020

Networks Spain

EBITDA evolution by business line (€m) Highlights

Ordinary EBITDA evolution by key drivers (€m)

  • Gas networks: lower sales as result of mild weather and economic slowdown partially compensated by business optimization
  • Electricity networks: lower financial remuneration due to new regulatory period and lower fees on meters interventions
  • Overall impacted by COVID-19

€321m capex, of which ~85% remunerated

Resilient results despite scenario and changes in regulation

EBITDA evolution by business line (€m) Highlights

EBITDA FY19 Nonordinary items Ordinary EBITDA FY19 Chile gas Brazil gas Mexico gas Panama elec. Argentina Ordinary EBITDA FY20 Nonordinary items EBITDA FY20

Ordinary EBITDA evolution by key drivers (€m)

  • Chile gas: tariff indexation and efficiencies offset by lower demand
  • Brazil gas: tariff indexation, efficiencies and lower energy losses offset by FX and demand
  • Mexico gas: higher margins and tariff updates not sufficient to compensate for FX and sales decrease
  • Panama electricity: lower demand partially compensated by efficiencies
  • Argentina: tariff updates offset by lower gas sales and FX

€342m capex, of which ~80% remunerated

EBITDA Non Ordinary Markets Int. Pipelines Spain Int. Ordinary Non EBITDA
FY19 ordinary EBITDA & procur. LNG (EMPL) thermal thermal EBITDA ordinary FY20
items FY19 gen. gen. FY20 items

Ordinary EBITDA evolution by key drivers (€m)

  • Markets and procurement: loss of gas supply cost competitiveness and negative contribution of volume sales to avoid unrecoverable take or pay requirements
  • International LNG: depressed LNG scenario resulting in negative margins partially compensated via financial hedging and cancellation of some cargoes
  • Pipelines (EMPL): step-down of EMPL capacity
  • Spain thermal generation: higher margins driven by lower CCGTs generation costs and additional efficiencies
  • International thermal generation: lower merchant margins in Dominican Republic and lower volumes in Mexico partially compensated by efficiencies and higher margins in PPA sales

€93m capex, of which ~15% remunerated

Depressed gas scenario throughout 2020

Renewables

EBITDA evolution by business line (€m) Highlights

Ordinary EBITDA evolution by key drivers (€m) developments

  • Spain: increased renewable and hydro generation in Spain, partially offset by lower pool prices
  • Australia: progressing in new wind farms developments to double existing renewable capacity
  • LatAm: higher wind resource and prices in Mexico offset by lower contribution from Brazil solar
  • USA: preparing the entrance in 2021 through proprietary

€429m capex, of which ~95% remunerated

New renewable capacity gradually increasing its contribution

Supply

EBITDA evolution by business line (€m) Highlights

Ordinary EBITDA evolution by key drivers (€m)

  • Power supply: lower demand partially compensated by lower pool prices and operational improvements
  • Gas supply: continued margin pressure and lower sales in residential and SMEs segment

Lower demand and continued pressure on gas margins
