1. ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

1.1 3RD QUARTER RESULTS

In the first 9 months of 2017, REN's net income was 88.9 million euros, 18.4 million euros (+26.1%) higher than the same period of the prior year, reflecting the strong performance of financial results (+18.9 million euros, +29.8%) and also the positive evolution of EBITDA (+7.2 million euros, +2.0%).

Similarly to the previous years, the results for 2017 reflect the continuation of the Extraordinary Levy on the Energy Sector (25.8 million euros in 2017, and 25.9 million euros in 20161 ).

In the current year, REN acquired for 169 million euros a 42.5% stake in Electrogas, a company that offers natural gas transportation services in Chile, which represents already 4.62 million euros in EBITDA.

Investment was 80.3 million euros, a 9.4% y.o.y increase (+6.9 million euros), while transfers to RAB grew 14.9 million euros (+70.7%) over the same period of the previous year to 36.1 million euros. Average RAB dropped by 39.5 million euros (-1.1%) to 3,462.5 million euros, reflecting the decrease in the natural gas sector (-40.4 million euros).

Despite the 2.2% increase in net debt (+55.7 million euros), influenced by Electrogas stake acquisition, the Group's financial income improved significantly due to better financing conditions, with the average cost of debt decreasing from 3.4%, in September of 2016, to 2.6%.

The growth in operational results was achieved through the following positive impacts:

  • Revenues with the 42.5% stake in Electrogas, acquired in the first quarter of 2017 (5.8 million euros; 4.6 million euros after transaction costs);
  • Higher revenues from opex (+4.4 million euros) reflecting the 2.9 million euros increase in pass-through costs (of which +1.6 million euros in cross border costs and +0.9 million euros in costs with consumer information campaign approved by Dispatch 5729/2013 of April 17th), and the increase in LNG Terminal activity which led to higher electricity costs;
  • Positive evolution of amortizations recovery (+2.7 million euros), in line with the increase in gross assets.

5 Includes costs for training and seminars and provisions for staff costs

These effects were partially offset by:

  • The decrease in RAB remuneration (-2.5 million euros) resulting from: (i) 6.6 milllion euros decrease in natural gas (including smoothing differences) affected by the decrease in the rate of return (from 6.9% to 6.3%) with the new regulatory period initiated in July 2016, partilally offset by (ii) the 4.1 million euros increase in electricity RAB remuneration due to an increase in the base rate of return (from 6.1% to 6.3%) following the positive evolution of 10Y Treasury bills;
  • The 5.9 million euros increase in the Group opex (+8.0%),which reflected the increase of (i) 2.9 million euros in non-core external costs (pass-through), and (ii) 3.4 million euros in core external costs, due to additionnal costs of 2.0 million euros incurred with Electrogas and EDPG acquisition, partially offset by a 0.5 million euros reduction in personnel costs (-1.2%).

NET INCOME

Overall, the Group's net income for the first 9 months of 2017 grew 18.4 million euros (+26.1%) y.o.y., reaching 88.9 million euros, reflecting:

  • The increase in EBITDA (+7.2 million euros), which was positively impacted by Electrogas stake results of 5.8 million euros (4.6 million euros, after transaction costs);
  • Better financial results (+18.9 million euros, +29.8%), driven by a lower cost of debt, which dropped to 2.6% (from 3.4% in September 2016), despite the increase in net debt of 2.2% (+55.7 million euros) to 2,540.6 million euros, reflecting the acquisition of Electrogas (169 million euros).

Excluding non-recurring items, Net Income grew 20.5 million euros (+21.3%). Non-recurring items considered in the first 9 months of 2017 and 2016 are as follows:

  • i) In 2017: i) Extraordinary Levy on the Energy Sector laid down in the State Budget for 2017 (25.8 million euros); ii) financial and operating one-off costs with Electrogas and EDP Gás acquisition (3.1 million euros, 2.2 million euros after taxes)
  • ii) In 2016: i) Extraordinary Levy on the Energy Sector laid down in the State Budget for 2016 (25.9 million euros)

There were no changes in the consolidation perimeter in 2017 with respect to what was reported on 31 December 2016.

1.2. Approval of the consolidated financial statements

These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors at a meeting held on 3 November 2017. The Board of Directors believes that the consolidated financial statements fairly present the financial position of the companies included in the consolidation, the consolidated results of their operations, their consolidated comprehensive income, the consolidated changes in their equity and their consolidated cash flows in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards for interim financial statements as endorsed by the European Union (IAS 34).

2 BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements for the nine month period ended 30 September 2017 were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for interim financial reporting as endorsed by the European Union (IAS 34), therefore do not include all information required for annual financial statements so should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements issued for the year ended 31 December 2016.

The Board of Directors evaluated the Group's going concern capability, based on all the relevant information, facts and circumstances, of financial, commercial and other natures, including subsequent events occurred after the financial statement report date. Particularly, as of 30 September 2017, current liabilities in the amount of 811,364 thousand Euros are higher than current assets, which total 362,225 thousands Euros.

However, in addition to the consolidated results and cash flows estimated for 2017, the Group has, as of 30 September 2017, credit lines in the form of commercial paper available for use in the amount of 699,850 thousands Euros, with a substantial part with guaranteed placement (Note 14).

In result of this assessment, the Board concludes that the Group has the adequate resources to proceed its activity, not intending to cease its operations in short term, and therefore considers adequate the use of a going concern basis in the preparation of the Company's financial statements.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of Euros – tEuros, rounded to the nearest thousand.

3 MAIN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements were prepared for interim financial reporting purposes (IAS 34), on a going concern basis from the books and accounting records of the companies included in the consolidation, maintained in accordance with the accounting standards in force in the respective countries, adjusted in the consolidation process so that the financial statements are presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as endorsed by the European Union in force for the years beginning as from 1 January 2017.

Such standards include International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), International Accounting Standards (IAS), issued by the International Accounting Standards Committee ("IASC") and respective SIC and IFRIC interpretations, issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee ("IFRIC") and Standard Interpretation Committee ("SIC"), that have been endorsed by the European Union. The standards and interpretations are hereinafter referred generically to as IFRS.

The accounting policies used to prepare these consolidated financial statements are consistent in all material respects, with the policies used to prepare the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016, as explained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for 2016. These policies were applied consistently in the presented periods.

Adoption of new standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions

The following standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions have been endorsed by the European Union with mandatory application in future economic exercises:

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (replacement of IAS 39) (to be applied for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018) - This standard establishes the requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments and for the application of hedge accounting rules. The Company is analyzing and estimating the impacts on REN's consolidated financial statements associated with the adoption of this standard.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (amendment to be applied for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018) - These amendments clarify how the principles set out in the standard should be applied. The future adoption of this standard is not expected to have significant impacts on REN's consolidated financial statements.

The Company did not apply any of these standards in advance in the financial statements for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017.

4 SEGMENT REPORTING

The REN Group is organised in two main business segments, Electricity and Gas, and one secondary segment. The electricity segment includes the transmission of electricity in very high voltage, overall management of the public electricity system and management of the power purchase agreements (PPA) not terminated at 30 June 2007 and the pilot zone for electricity production from sea waves. The Gas segment includes high pressure gas transmission and overall management of the national natural gas supply system, as well as the operation of regasification at the LNG Terminal and the underground storage of natural gas.

Although the activities of the LNG Terminal and underground storage can be seen as separate from the transport of gas and overall management of the national natural gas supply system, since these operations provide complementary services to same users, it was considered that it is subject to the same risks and benefits.

The telecommunications segment is presented separately although it does not qualify for disclosure.

Management of external loans are centrally managed by REN SGPS, S.A. for which the Company choose to present the assets and liabilities separate from its eliminations that are undertaken in the consolidation process, as used by the main responsible operating decision maker.

The results by segment for the nine month period ended 30 September 2017 were as follows:

Loans obtained, as mentioned in Note 3.6, are initially measured at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost, except for those which it has been contracted a fair value hedge derivative (Note 11) which are measured at fair value. Nevertheless, REN proceeds to the fair value disclosure of the caption Borrowings, based on a set of relevant observable data, which fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of borrowings and derivatives is calculated by the discounted cash flows method, using the interest rate curve on the date of the statement of financial position in accordance with the characteristics of each loan.

The range of market rates used to calculate the fair value ranges between -0.349% and 1.360% (maturities of one day and fifteen years, respectively).

The fair value of borrowings contracted by the Group at 30 September 2017 is 2,637,461 thousand Euros (at 31 December 2016 was 2,570,554 thousand Euros), of which 404,092 thousand Euros are recorded partly at amortized cost and includes an element of fair value resulting from interest rates changes (at 31 December 2016 was 408,664 thousand Euros).

Estimated fair value – assets measured at fair value

  • Level 1: the fair value of financial instruments is based on net market prices as of the date of the statement of financial position;
  • Level 2: the fair value of financial instruments is not based on active market prices but rather on valuation models; and
  • Level 3: the fair value of financial instruments is not based on active market prices, but rather on valuation models, for which the main inputs are not taken from the market.

("Parpublica"), CEZA – Companhia Eléctrica do Zambeze, S.A. and EDM – Electricidade de Moçambique. This participation was initially recorded at its acquisition cost (38,400 thousand Euros) and subsequently adjusted to its fair value which reflects the price at which the asset would be sold in an orderly transaction.

Swaps:

Cash flow hedges

The Group hedges part of its future payments of interests on borrowings and bond issues through the designation of interest rate swaps, on which REN pays a fixed rate and receives a variable rate.

As of 30 September 2017, a cash flow hedge expired resulting in a decrease of the total notional to 300,000 thousand Euros (363,462 thousand Euros as of 31 December 2016). This refer to a hedge of the interest rate risk associated with variable interest payments arising from recognized financial liabilities. The hedged risk is the index of the variable rate to which the interest of the financing is associated.

The objective of this hedge is to convert loans at floating interest rates into fixed interest rate, the credit risk is not being hedged. The fair value of interest rate swaps at 30 September 2017 is negative 6,821 thousand Euros (at 31 December 2016, 12,136 thousand Euros negative).

In addition, the Group hedges its exposure to cash flow risk on its bond issue of 10,000 million JPY resulting from foreign exchange rate risk, through a cross currency swap with the main features equivalent to the debt issued. The same hedging instrument is used to hedge the fair value of the exchange rate risk of the bond issue through the forward start swap component which will only start in June 2019. The changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument are also recognized in hedging reserves. As from June 2019 the object will be to hedge exposure to JPY and the interest rate risk, transforming the operation into a fair value hedge, the changes in fair value of the debt issued resulting from the risks covered becoming recognized in the statement of profit and loss. The credit risk is not hedged.

The amounts resulting from the hedging instrument are recognized in the statement of profit and loss when the transaction hedged affects results for the year.

The fair value of the cross currency swap at 30 September 2017 was 1,336 thousand Euros positive (8,673 thousand Euros positive at 31 December 2016).

The underlying (borrowing) foreign exchange change for 30 September 2017, 5,747 thousand Euros positive (12,130 as of 30 September 2016 negative), was offset by a similar change in the hedging instrument in the statement of profit and loss.

The ineffective component of the fair value hedge amounted to 5,847 thousand Euros positive (6,196 thousand Euros positive at 31 December 2016). The effect recorded in the consolidated income statement for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 amounts to Euro 349 thousand.

The amount recorded in reserves relating to the above mentioned cash flow hedge was 13,009 thousand Euros (17,542 thousand Euros at 31 December 2016).

As of 30 September 2017 the notional amount of fair value hedge derivatives reached 400,000 thousand Euros (400,000 thousand Euros in 31 December 2016). The covered risk is the fixed rate index to debt issued. The covered risk is the fair value changes of debt issues related to interest rate fluctuations.

25 ENERGY SECTOR EXTRAORDINARY CONTRIBUTION

Law No. 83-C / 2013 of 31 December introduced a specific contribution of entities operating in the energy field, called Energy Sector Extraordinary Contribution ("ESEC"), which was extended by Law No. 82-B/2014, of 31 December, and Law No. 15—C/2016, of 30 December, for the year of 2016 and 2017, respectively.

The regime introduced is aimed at financing mechanisms that promote systemic sustainability of the sector through the setting up of a fund with the main objective of reducing the tariff deficit. Are subject to this regime, among others, the entities that are dealers of transport activities or distribution of electricity and natural gas.

In the case of regulated activities, the ESEC is levied on the value of regulated assets (i.e. the amount recognised by ERSE in the calculation of the allowed income with reference to 1 January 2017) if it is greater than the value of those assets, over which the rate of 0.85% is applied.

REPORT ON REVIEW OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Translation of a report originally issued in Portuguese)

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated financial statements of REN – Redes Energéticas Nacionais, S.G.P.S., S.A. (the Entity) and of its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as of 30 September 2017 (that presents a total of 4,554,798 thousand euros and equity of 1,145,856 thousand euros, including a net profit of 88,867 thousand euros), the consolidated statement of profit and loss by nature, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine month period then ended, and the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Management's Responsibility

Management is responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union, and for the implementation and maintenance of an appropriate internal control system that allows the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatements due to fraud or error.

Auditor's responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 – Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity and further standards, technical and ethical directives of the Portuguese Institute of Statutory Auditors ("Ordem dos Revisores Oficiais de Contas"). These standards requires us to perform our review in order to conclude whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the consolidated financial statements are not prepared in all material respects in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted by the European Union.

A review of financial statements is a limited assurance engagement. The auditor performs procedures, primarily consisting of making inquiries and applying analytical procedures, and evaluates the evidence obtained.

A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on these consolidated financial statements.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying consolidated financial statements of REN – Redes Energéticas Nacionais, S.G.P.S., S.A. as of 30 September 2017, are not prepared, in all materials respects, in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted by the European Union.
