On January 22, 2019, a merger of the entities REN Gás, S.A. and REN Gás Distribuição SGPS, S.A. was effected by means of the global transfer of the assets of REN Gás Distribuição SGPS, S.A. to REN Gás, S.A..
On July 2, 2018, REN sold the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) business to ENERGYCO II, S.A. and, additionally, on November 21, 2018, REN PRO, S.A., a company fully owned by REN, was incorporated.
These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors at a meeting held on 25 July 2019. 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 Financial Reporting Standards for interim financial statements as endorsed by the European Union (IAS 34).
The consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ended 30 June 2019 were prepared in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting Standards, 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 2018.
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 June 2019, current liabilities in the amount of 783,655 thousand Euros are greater than current assets, which total 382,568 thousand Euros.
However, in addition to the consolidated results and cash flows estimated for 2019, the Group has, as of 30 June 2019, credit lines in the form of commercial paper available for use in the amount of 693,500 thousands Euros, with a substantial part with guaranteed placement (Note 16).
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 financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of Euros - tEuros.
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 Portugal, adjusted in the consolidation process so that the financial statements are presented in accordance with interim Financial Reporting Standards as endorsed by the European Union in force for the years beginning as from 1 January 2019.
Such Financial Reporting 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 IFRIC and SIC 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 2018, as explained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for 2018, except for the adoption of new effective standards for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The Group has not adopted in advance any standard, interpretation or amendment that is not yet in force.
The following standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions have been endorsed by the European Union with mandatory application in effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019:
This standard replaces IAS 17 – Leases and the associated interpretations, with impact on the accounting performed by lessees, which are obliged to recognize for lease contracts a lease liability corresponding to future lease payments and, respectively, an asset related with the "right of use". The standard provides for two exemptions of recognition for tenants lease contracts where assets have low value and short-term lease contracts (ie contracts with a duration of 12 months or less). It should be noted that this standard is not applicable to the assets assigned to the concession contract ("IFRIC 12 – Service Concession Arrangements").
The Group recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Unless the Group is reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the recognised right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the lease term. Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment.
At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating a lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expense in the period on which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the insubstance fixed lease payments or a change in the assessment to purchase the underlying asset.
The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets that are considered of low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The adoption of this standard does not result in significant impacts on REN's consolidated financial statements.
This amendment allows the classification / measurement of financial assets at amortized cost even if they include conditions that allow the prepayment for a lower value than the nominal value ("Negative compensation"), being an exemption to the requirements predicted in IFRS 9 for the classification of financial assets at amortized cost. Additionally, it is also clarified that when there is a change in the conditions of a financial liability that does not implies a derecognition, the measurement difference must be registered immediately in the year's results. The adoption of this standard does not result in significant impacts on REN's consolidated financial statements.
Clarifies how the recognition and measurement requirements of IAS 12 - Income Tax are applied when there is uncertainty about the tax treatment. The adoption of this standard does not result in significant impacts on REN's consolidated financial statements.
These amendments clarify that long-term investments in associates and joint ventures, which are not being measured by the equity method, are accounted under IFRS 9. This clarifies that long-term investments in associates and joint ventures are subject to the IFRS 9 impairment rules (3-step model of expected losses), before being considered for impairment testing of the global investment in an associate or when there are indicators of impairment. The adoption of this standard does not result in significant impacts on REN's consolidated financial statements.
The changes introduced in the 2015-2017 cycle focused on the revision of: (i) IAS 23 - Borrowing Costs (clarifies the computation of the average interest rate); (ii) IAS 12 - Income Tax (establishes that the tax impact of the dividends distribution should be accounted for when the account payable is recorded); and (iii) IFRS 3 and IFRS 11 (clarifies that when obtaining control of a joint venture the financial interest should be accounted for at fair value). The adoption of this amendment does not result in significant impacts on REN's consolidated financial statements.
| Amendments to IAS 19: Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement |
|---|
| If a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement occurs, it is now mandatory that the current service cost and the net interest for the period after the remeasurement are determined using the assumptions used for the remeasurement. In addition, amendments have been included to clarify the effect of a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement on the requirements regarding the asset ceiling. The adoption of this standard does not result in significant impacts on REN's consolidated financial |
| There are no standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions endorsed by the European Union with mandatory application in future economic exercises at the date of 30 June 2019. |
| Applicable for financial Standard Resume |
| years beginning on or after This standard is intended to replace IFRS 4 and requires that all insurance contracts to be IFRS 17 - Insurance Contracts 01/jan/21 |
| accounted for consistently. The revised Conceptual Framework includes: a new chapter on measurement; guidance on Amendments to References to the Conceptual reporting financial performance; improved definitions of an asset and a liability, and guidance 01/jan/20 Framework in IFRS supporting these definitions; and clarifications in important areas, such as the roles of stewardship, prudence and measurement uncertainty in financial reporting. |
| Standards and interpretations, amended or revised, not endorsed by the European Union The following standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions, with mandatory application in future years, have not, until the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements, been endorsed by the European Union: These amendments: (i) clarify that to be considered a business, an acquired set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs; (ii) narrow the definitions of a business and of outputs Amendment to IFRS 3: Business Combinations 01/jan/20 by focusing on goods and services provided to customers and by removing the reference to an ability to reduce costs; (iii) add guidance and illustrative examples to help entities assess whether a substantive process has been acquired. |
These standards and interpretations were not yet endorsed by the European Union and consequently REN has not adopted them on the 30 June 2019 consolidated financial statements.
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, the distribution of natural gas in low and medium pressure 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 services to the same users and they are complementary services, 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 six-month period ended 30 June 2019 were as follows:

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 June 2019, the notional amount of derivatives is 600,000 thousand Euros (600,000 thousand Euros as of 31 December 2018). This is 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 transform floating interest rate loans into fixed interest rates, and credit risk is not being hedged. The fair value of interest rate swaps at 30 June 2019 is negative 24,672 thousand Euros (at 31 December 2018, 10,877 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 started in June 2019. The changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument are also recognized in hedging reserves. As at 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 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 June 2019 was 14,279 thousand Euros positive (10,940 thousand Euros positive at 31 December 2018).
The underlying foreign exchange change (borrowing) for the period ended 30 June 2019, in the amount of, approximately, 2,106 thousand Euros negative (3,427 as of 30 June 2018), was offset by a positive change in the hedging instrument in the statement of profit and loss.
The inefficient component of the fair value hedge amounted to 9,135 thousand Euros positive (7,321 thousand Euros positive at 31 December 2018). Consequently, the effect recorded in the income statement for the six-month period ended 30 June 2019 amounts to 1,813 thousand Euros.
The amount recorded in reserves relating to the above mentioned cash flow hedges at 30 June 2019 was 28,070 thousand Euros (13,647 thousand Euros at 31 December 2018).
The movements recorded in the hedging reserve were as follows:

As of 30 June 2019, the notional amount of derivatives nominated as fair value hedge reached 400,000 thousand Euros (400,000 thousand Euros in 31 December 2018).

At 30 June 2019, the fair value change related with the 400,000 thousand Euros debt related with interest rate risk amounted to 8,241 thousand Euros negative (1,151 thousand Euros positive as of 30 June 2018), causing an inefficient component of around 75 thousand Euros positive (132 thousand Euros positive as of 30 June 2018).

This derivative despite not being considered as a hedging instrument in accordance with IFRS 9, is hedging the economic risk of changes in the forward interest rates for the above mentioned period.
As of 30 June 2019, the notional amount of this negotiation derivative is 60,000 thousand Euros (60,000 thousand Euros as of 31 December 2018). This is a hedging of interest rate risk associated with future cash flows of variable interest rate associated with the Group finance liabilities. The hedged risk is the indexer of the variable rate to which the debt interests are associated. The objective of this hedging is to convert cash flows at a variable rate into a fixed rate, the credit risk is not hedged. The fair value of this negotiation derivative as of 30 June 2019 amounts to 3,750 thousand Euros negative (2,076 thousand Euros negative as of 31 December 2018).
The fair value changes of this negotiation derivative are recorded in the profit and loss statement. As of 30 June 2019, the amount related with the fair value of the trading derivative was an expense of 1,674 thousand Euros (income of 569 thousand Euros as of 30 June 2018).

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. The entities subject to this regime are, among others, entities that are dealers of transport activities or distribution of electricity and natural gas.
The calculation of the ECES is levied on the value of the assets with reference to the first day of the financial year 2019 (1 January 2019) that include cumulatively, the tangible fixed assets, intangible assets, with the exception of industrial property elements, and financial assets related with regulated activities. In the case of regulated activities, the ECES is levied on the value of regulated assets (i.e. the amount recognized by ERSE in the calculation of the allowed income with reference to 1 January 2019) if it is greater than the value of those assets, over which the rate of 0.85% is applied.
To the extent that it is a present obligation whose facts originating already occurred, with timing and amounts certain or ascertainable, REN recorded liabilities in the amount of 24,390 thousand Euros (Note 19) (for the six-month period ended 30 June 2018 was 25,333 thousand Euros) against a cost in the statement of profit and loss.

1 Entity related to the Administrator José Luis Arnaut
On 23 July 2019, REN signed a contract with Compañía General de Electricidad S.A. and Naturgy Inversiones Internacionales, S.A. for the acquisition of 100% of Empresa de Transmisión Eléctrica Transemel S.A. ("Transemel"), for 167 million USD. The contract foresees that the conclusion of the transaction and respective acquisition of Transemel by the REN Group will take place in the beginning of October 2019.
Transemel, with approximately 93% of its revenues coming from regulated activities owns and operates 92 km of electricity transmission lines and five substations, located mainly in northern Chile.
The operation is in line with REN's strategic plan, which is based on a conservative growth strategy, favoring projects in the sectors in which the company has a vast experience, and in markets with economic stability and predictable regulatory frameworks.
This is the second acquisition that the Company makes in Chile after the purchase of 42.5% of Electrogas, a corporation that owns and operates the pipeline that links the Quintero LNG terminal to Chile's capital, Santiago.
This acquisition will be financed solely with debt.
Despite remaining attentive to investment opportunities abroad, Portugal is REN's main target and natural market, where it will continue to invest to ensure the long-term needs of the electricity and natural gas infrastructures, with a permanent focus on improving performance and quality of service, to provide a reliable, safe and efficient service at the lowest possible cost to the country and to the consumers.
These consolidated financial statements are a translation of financial statements originally issued in Portuguese in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting. In the event of discrepancies, the Portuguese language version prevails.
