5. Security of supply at competitive prices

Playing a key role in addressing the energy trilemma

  • During 2023, Naturgy distributed 378TWh and 32TWh of gas and electricity respectively, and supplied 249TWh and 21TWh of gas and electricity respectively
  • Essential role of CCGTs to guarantee security of supply in the face of higher volatility and renewable intermittency (7.4GW and 2.4GW CCGTs baseload capacity in Spain and Mexico respectively)

Security of supply Competitive prices Sustainability

  • Spain electricity prices among the most competitive in Europe in 2023
  • Since beginning of the energy crisis and price escalation, Naturgy adjusted prices for >2 million customers (70% of its liberalized customers)

  • Step up in energy transition investment (€2,944m in FY23)

  • Committed to growth in renewables (~19GW pipeline)
  • Leading renewable gases developments in Spain with over 60 biomethane and 10 hydrogen projects
  • More than 38,000 self-supply installations (~1GW capacity) connected to Naturgy's electricity networks as of the end of 2023 (2x vs. 2022)

Commitment and delivery

Track record of growing EBITDA, investment and dividends while reducing Net debt

EBITDA guidance revised upwards during 2023 and exceeded

Capital allocation 2021-23

During the 2021-23 period €6.4bn were dedicated to invest, mainly in energy transition

Results by business unit

27

Gas networks

Growth driven by tariff updates in LatAm; demand declines in Spain, Brazil and Chile

Spain: lower regulated remuneration due to 2020 tariff review and lower demand (mainly in residential and commercial segments), partially offset by lower gas losses

  • Mexico: higher reserved capacity for distribution by third parties, lower energy losses and positive FX impact, partly offset by lower supply margins
  • Brazil: tariff updates partially offset by lower demand, particularly in the power generation segment, due to abundant hydro resource in the year
  • Argentina: tariff updates and higher sales in generation and TPA segments not enough to compensate for marked FX depreciation
  • Chile: positive comparison vs. FY22 due to the TGN provision registered in 2022. Gas distribution benefited from higher tariffs, while gas supply experienced some margin compression due to scenario

Electricity networks

Record investments in Spain and approved regulatory review in Panama

  • Spain: record investments up to regulatory limit, lower remuneration vs. prior year as 2022 registered the collection of accrued remuneration from 2017-2019
  • Panama: higher demand due to higher temperatures and approved tariff review from July 2023
  • Argentina: tariff updates were not sufficient to compensate for opex inflation and marked FX depreciation

Energy management

Lower sales and margins as market rebalances and prices stabilize closer to historical average levels

  • Comparison affected by the negative impact of the financial hedging ineffectiveness accounted for in 2022, with the majority of such contracts expired in 2023
  • Lower sales and gas prices due to scenario were compensated by the termination in 2022 of sales and hedging contracts with negative margins in Europe and Iberia

Thermal generation

Thermal generation remains essential to guarantee

  • renewables resource partially offset by higher CCGT unitary margins
  • GPG thermal: higher production and margins in Dominican Republic as well as higher margins in the surplus market in Mexico partly offset by lower availability in PPAs and negative FX

Renewable generation

Growing installed capacity and production

  • Spain: higher hydro production as well as commissioning of new capacity (153MW) and ASR Wind integration (422MW) partly offset by lower sales prices
  • USA: beginning of trial operation of 7V Solar Ranch (300MW), Grimes PV plant construction underway (263MW COD in 2Q25)
  • GPG renewables: higher production in Mexico and recovery of the commercial operation in Chile offset by lower hydro production in Panama and Costa Rica. Increased installed capacity in Australia (119MW), although end of La Joya

Supply

Higher margins in power supply vs. 2022 thanks to a more balanced power generation / supply integrated position

  • Power: higher margins vs. 2022, supported by growing fixed priced contracts as well as lower costs compared to 2022, which was affected by the cost of energy sales not covered via own inframarginal generation
  • Gas: healthy margins although below 2022 levels, due to transfer of customers from liberalized to regulated tariffs in residential segment

Summary and priorities 2024

Summary

Energy scenario rebalancing post 2022

Strong results and cash flow supported by investments and energy scenario

Balance sheet strength allows for investment step up

"Iberian exception" cap on gas prices for CCGTs Exceeded guidance and delivered on commitments

"Iberian exception" cap on gas prices for CCGTs output Focus on sustainability, security of supply and competitive prices

Priorities 2024

Networks Markets

  • Energy management: pipeline contracts to reflect 2024 market conditions

  • Thermal generation:
  • CCGTs critical role recognition in Spain
  • PPAs extension in Mexico
  • Renewable generation: organic growth plan execution
  • Up to 1.2GW and 2.3GW COD in 2024 and 2025 respectively
  • Renewable gases: continued growth in Spain
  • 70 projects in biomethane and hydrogen

  • Supply: balanced integrated position

Capital allocation

  • Dividend at 1.40 €/share per annum subject to BBB rating
  • Investment plan of ~€3bn in 2024 with focus on renewables
  • Balance sheet strength (preserving BBB rating)
