1. FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

1.1RESULTS FOR THE FIRST 6 MONTHS OF 2023

In the first 6 months of 2023, REN reported a net income of 63.0 million Euros, a 17.2 million Euros increase (+37.5%) over the same period of the previous year. Net income increased reflecting mainly the increase of 26.5 million Euros in the Group EBITDA (+25.0 million Euros in EBIT), despite the decrease of 1.7 million Euros in financial results (-11.0%) and the increase in taxes of 6.2 million Euros. International activity contributed with 16.6 million Euros to the Group EBITDA, a y.o.y increase of +71.2%.

Similarly to the previous years, the results for 2023 reflect the continuation of the Extraordinary Levy on the Energy Sector (28.1 million Euros in 2023 and 28.0 million Euros in 2022).

The Group's investment was 111.8 million Euros, a 41.9% year-on-year growth (+33.0 million Euros) and transfers to RAB increased 11.1 million Euros (+50.3%) to 33.1 million Euros. Average RAB decreased by 69.4 million Euros (-1.9%), to 3,533.2 million Euros.

The average cost of debt was 2.4%, an increase of 0.7 p.p. over the previous year, and net debt reached 2,393.7 million Euros, a 14.0% increase (+294.4 million Euros) over the same period of the previous year driven by the evolution of REN Trading's tariff deviations. Excluding the effect of tariff deviations, net debt decreased 7.6%.

1 Includes training and seminars costs.

The increase in EBITDA resulted mainly from:

  • The increase in Electricity Transmission Activity regulated revenues (+6.6 million Euros), which is remunerated through a Totex model since 2022, reflecting the increase in the rate of return which was 5.3% in June of 2023, which compares to 4.7% in the same period of the previous year;
  • The increase of 4.6 million Euros in RAB remuneration 2 (+12.9%) arising mostly from:
  • o Increase of 1.5 million Euros in the remuneration of natural gas transmission regulated assets reflecting the increase in the rate of return from 5.0% in June 2022 to 5.7% in June 2023 – as a result of the positive evolution of the yields of the Portuguese Republic 10Y Treasury Bills; partially offset by the reduction of 45.3 million Euros (-5.1%) in natural gas transmission average RAB;
  • o Increase of 1.8 million Euros in the remuneration of natural gas distribution regulated assets reflecting (i) the increase in the rate of return from 5.2% in June 2022 to 5.9% in June 2023 – as a result of the positive evolution of the yields of the Portuguese Republic 10Y Treasury Bills, and (ii) the increase of 7.5 million Euros in natural gas distribution average RAB (+1.6%);
  • The increase in Revenues from Opex of 25.0 million Euros (+47.1%), reflecting the increase of 22.7 million Euros in pass-through costs, of which 17.8 million Euros in Cross Boarder cost.

These effects were partially offset by the increase of 20.5 million Euros in Opex, of which 22.7 million Euros in pass-through costs as previously mentioned (costs not controllable by REN and fully recovered in the regulated tariff). Excluding pass-through costs, the Group domestic Core Opex decreased 2.2 million Euros, driven by the decrease in electricity costs in the LNG Terminal.

With respect to domestic business, it is also important to note that the natural gas distribution business contributed with EBITDA of 26.0 million Euros.

International Business

The EBITDA for international businesses reached 16.6 million Euros in the first 6 months of 2023, a 6.9 million Euros (+71.2%) increase over the same period of the previous year, resulting mainly from:

  • EBITDA of Transemel an electrical power transmission company in Chile was 9.8 million Euros, a y.o.y. increase of 4.8 million Euros (+97.2%) reflecting essentially the increase of 5.5 million Euros in revenues from the transmission of electricity (+86.6%). It should be noted that, in 2023, the Chilean regulator published the decree with the Valuation of Transmission Systems for the period from 2020 to 2023, with Transemel recording an income of 4.0 million Euros referring to the adjustment of revenues from 2020 to 2022;
  • The increase of 2.1 million Euros (+43.9%) to 6.8 million Euros in the recognized income from the 42.5% stake held by REN in the Chilean company Electrogas.

  • ii) decrease of 1.7 million Euros in financial results (-11.0%) reflecting the increase in net debt and in the average cost of debt from 1.7% to 2.4%. Net debt reached 2,393.7 million Euros, a 14.0% increase (+294.4 million Euros), over the same period of the previous year driven by the evolution of REN Trading's tariff deviations. Excluding the effect of tariff deviations, net debt decreased 7.6%.

- December 2022

There were no changes to the consolidation perimeter in 2022 compared to that reported on 31 December 2021.

1.2. Approval of quarterly consolidated financial statements

These interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors at a meeting held on 20 July 2023. 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 six-month period ended 30 June 2023 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 2022.

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.

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, rounded to the thousand closer.

On the present date, and taking into account the above and Note 5 - Main Estimates and Judgments, disclosed in the annex to the 2022 consolidated financial statements, the Group does not foresee any changes in the most relevant estimates, in the case of Provisions, Assumptions Actuarial, Tangible and Intangible Fixed Assets, Impairment, Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Impairment of Goodwill and Tariff deviations.

There were no significant changes in the long-term expectation of recovery of the Group's investments and financial holdings.

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 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 2023.

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 2022, as explained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for 2022, except for the adoption of new effective standards for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023.

The Group has not previously adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that is not yet in force.

The estimates and assumptions with impact on REN's consolidated financial statements are continuously evaluated, representing at each reporting date the Board of Directors best estimates, considering historical performance, past accumulated experience and expectations about future events that, under the circumstances, are believed to be reasonable. There were no changes in the main estimates and judgments presented in relation to the six-month period ended on 30 June 2022 and compared to the year ended on 31 December 2022.

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 effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023:

IFRS 17 – Insurance Contracts: Initial Application of IFRS 17

IFRS 17 replaces IFRS 4 – "Insurance contracts", the standard that has been in force on an interim basis since 2004. IFRS 17 is applicable to all entities that issue insurance contracts, reinsurance contracts and investment contracts with participation characteristics discretionary. The amendments to IFRS 17 are intended to assist companies in implementing the Standard and to facilitate the explanation of their financial performance. The adoption of this standard does not result in significant impacts on REN's consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 – Disclosure of Accounting policies

These amendments aim to change the requirements in IAS 1 with regard to disclosure of accounting policies. An entity discloses its material accounting policies, instead of its significant accounting policies, so there are examples and explanations to identify a material accounting policy. The materiality concept is demonstrated in IFRS Practice Statement 2 through the "four-step materiality process". The adoption of this standard does not result in significant impacts on REN's consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 8 – Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Erros: Definition of Accounting Estimates

These amendments clarify the definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are "monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty". Entities develop accounting estimates if accounting policies require items in financial statements to be measured in a way that involves measurement uncertainty. A change in accounting estimate that results from new information or new developments is not the correction of an error. In addition, the effects of a change of this type used to develop an accounting estimate are changes in accounting estimates if they do not result from the correction of prior period errors. The adoption of this standard does not result in significant impacts on REN's consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 12 - Deferred Tax Related To Assets And Liabilities Arising From A Single Transaction

These amendments included, essencially, certain transaction where the initial recognition exemption is not applied, namely when its initial recognition gave rise to equal amounts of taxable and deductible temporary differences. The future adoption of this standard is not expected to have significant impacts on REN's consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IFRS 17 - Insurance Contracts: Initial Application of IFRS 17 and Amendments to IFRS 9 – Comparative Information

The amendment is a transition option relating to comparative information about financial assets presented on initial application of IFRS 17. The amendment is aimed at helping entities to avoid temporary accounting mismatches between financial assets and insurance contract liabilities, and therefore improve the usefulness of comparative information for users of financial statements. The adoption of this standard does not result in significant impacts on REN's consolidated financial statements.

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:

Applicable for
Standard financial years Resume
beginning
Amendments to IAS 1 -
Presentation of Financial Statements:
Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current
01/jan/24 These amendments aim to promote consistency in applying the requirements by helping companies
determine whether, in the statement of financial position, debt and other liabilities with an uncertain
settlement date should be classified as current (due or potentially due to be settled within one year) or
non-current. The amendments include clarifying the classification requirements for debt a company might
settle by converting it into equity. The amendments clarify, not change, existing requirements, and so are
not expected to affect companies' financial statements significantly. However, they could result in
companies reclassifying some liabilities from current to non-current, and vice versa.
Amendments to IFRS 16 -
Leases: Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback
01/jan/24 The proposed amendment specifies requirements for seller-lessees to measure the lease liability in a sale
and leaseback transaction, after the date it takes place. The amendments establish that when the payments
include variable lease payments there is a risk that a modification or change in the leaseback term could
result in the seller-lessee recognising a gain on the right of use retained even though no transaction or
event would have occurred to give rise to that gain.
Amendments to IAS 7 -
Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments:
Disclosures: Supplier Finance Arrangements (Issued on 25
May 2023)
01/jan/24 The disclosure requirements in the amendments enhance the current requirements and are intended to
assist users of financial statements in understanding the effects of supplier finance arrangements on an
entity's liabilities, cash flows and exposure to liquidity risk.
Amendments to IAS 12 -
Income taxes: International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model
Rules (issued 23 May 2023)
01/jan/23 The Amendments introduce a mandatory exception in IAS 12 from recognising and disclosing deferred tax
assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes.

These standards have not yet been endorsed by the European Union and, as such, have not been applied by the Group for the six-month period ended 30 June 2023 .

4 SEGMENT REPORTING

The 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 on 30 June 2007, the pilot zone for electricity production from sea wave and the transmission and transportation of electricity in Chile. 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.

The results by segment for the six-month period ended 30 June 2023 were as follows:

Loans obtained, as referred to in Note 3.6 of the annual consolidated financial statements, for the year ended 31 December 2022, are measured upon initial recognition at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost, except those for which a derivative has been contracted fair value coverage (Note 12), in which case they are revalued at fair value. Nevertheless, REN proceeds to the disclosure of the fair value 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 are calculated by the method of discounted cash flows, using the curve of interest rate 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 3.400% and 2.984% (maturities of one day and eight years, respectively).

The fair value of borrowings contracted by the Group at 30 June 2023 is 2,318,270 thousand Euros (at 31 December 2022 was 2,289,200 thousand Euros), of which 532,596 thousand Euros are partially recorded at amortized cost, and contains an element recorded at fair value resulting from movements in the interest rate (at 31 December 2022 the amount recorded was 527,116 thousand Euros).

Estimated fair value – assets and liabilities measured at fair value

The following table presents the Group's assets and liabilities measured at fair value at 30 June 2023 in accordance with the following hierarchy levels of 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 determined based on active market quotes but using valuation models. The main inputs of the models are observable in the market, in relation to derivative finantial instruments;
  • Level 3: the fair value of financial instruments is not determined based on active market quotes, but using valuation models, whose main inputs are not observable in the market.

During the six-month period ended 30 June 2023 , there was no transfer of financial assets and liabilities between fair value hierarchy levels.

  • a global non-deliverable forward contract negotiated by REN Serviços, with the objective of covering the exchange rate risk of exposure to the Chilean Peso of sales denominated in the same currency by Transemel.

Counterparties to derivative contracts are international financial institutions with a solid credit rating and first-rate national institutions.

For the purpose of the effectiveness tests of the designated hedging relationships, REN applies the "Dollar offset method" and the linear regression statistical method as methodologies. The effectiveness ratio is given by comparing the changes in fair value of the hedging instrument with the changes in fair value of the hedged item (or hypothetical derivative instrument simulating the conditions of the hedged item).

For the purpose of calculating ineffectiveness, the total change in fair value of the hedging instruments is considered.

The disclosed amount includes receivable or payable accrued interest, at 30 June 2023 related to these financial instruments, in the net amount payable of 444 thousand Euros (at 31 December 2022 it was 577 thousand Euros payable).

Swaps:

Cash Flow Hedge - Interest Rate Swaps

The Group hedges the interest rate risk associated with the fluctuation of the market interest rate index (Euribor) on a portion of future debt interest payments through the designation of interest rate swaps, in order to transform floating rate payments into fixed rate payments.

At 30 June 2023 , the Group has a total of six cash flow hedging interest rate swap contracts for a total amount of 900,000 thousand Euros (as of 31 December 2022 it was 900,000 thousand Euros). The hedged risk is the variable rate index associated to the interest payments of the loans Credit risk is not being hedged.

The fair value of the interest rate swaps, at 30 June 2023, is positive 79,394 thousand Euros (at 31 December 2022 it was positive 78,500 thousand Euros).

Of the derivatives described above, two contracts in a total amount of 600,000 thousand Euros (at 31 December 2022 it was 600,000 thousand Euros) are designated to hedge an aggregated exposure composed by the net effect of floating rate debt and interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedging instruments.

The amount recognised in reserves, relating to the cash flow hedges referred to above, was 74,724 thousand Euros (at 31 December 2022 it was 78,316 thousand Euros).

Cash Flow Hedge – Interest and Exchange Rate Swaps

The Group hedged the exchange rate risk of the 10,000 million yen bond issued through a cross currency swap with the main characteristics similar to the bond with regard to exchange rate risk. Credit risk is not hedged.

The fair value of the cross currency swap at 30 June 2023 is negative 9,239 thousand Euros (at 31 December 2022 it was positive 901 thousand Euros).

Changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument are also being recognized in equity hedging reserves, with exception of:

  • the offsetting of the exchange rate effect of the spot revaluation of the hedged item (bond issue in yen) at each reference date, arising from the hedging of the exchange rate risk 5 ;
  • the ineffective effect of the hedge arising from the accounting designation made (REN contracted a trading derivative to economically hedge this ineffectiveness - see Trading Derivative) 6 . This inefficiency is caused by the change in the interest profile of the hedging instrument, which pays a variable rate in the period from 2019 to 2024.

Cash Flow Hedge – Non Deliverable forward

In May 2021, the Group hedged the exchange rate risk of sales denominated in Chilean Pesos by Transemel, in a total amount of 7,950,000 thousand Chilean Pesos (CLP), through the contracting of a structure of thirty monthly non deliverable forwards on the monthly average of the EUR/CLP exchange rate with maturity between 2021 and 2023.

As at 30 June 2023 , the Group has a total of six active non-deliverable forwards contracts denominated as cash flow hedging instruments in the global amount of 1,791 thousand Euros. The hedged risk corresponds to the foreign exchange exposure of sales made in CLP at the time of the consolidation of the Group entity, Transemel. Credit risk is not covered.

The fair value of non deliverable forwards, as of 30 June 2023 , is negative 11 thousand Euros (at 31 December 2022 it was positive 236 thousand Euros). The amount recorded in reserves, referring to the cash flow hedges mentioned above, as at 30 June 2023 , is 209 thousand Euros (at 31 December 2022 it was 346 thousand Euros). Additionally, an amount of 72 thousand Euros was recorded as a hedging cost in the income statement, which corresponds to the forward points of the hedging

5 The currency effect of the underlying (loan), as at 30 June 2023, was favorable in the amount of 7,464 thousand Euros, and was offset, in the same amount, by the unfavourable effect of the hedging instrument in the income statement for the year (as of 30 June 2022 was favorable in 6,047 thousand Euros).

6 The ineffective cash flow hedge component of the exchange rate risk recognised in the income statement, was positive 1,533 thousand Euros which was offset by the effect of the trading derivative negotiated in negative 293 thousand Euros (as of 30 June 2022 it was negative 2,650 thousand Euros against positive 2,260 thousand Euros of the effect of the trading derivative). Therefore, the net effect on the income statement for the six-month period ended on 30 June 2023 amounted to positive 1,240 thousand Euros (as of 30 June 2022 was negative 390 thousand Euros).

instruments that are not designated as part of the hedging relationship (at 31 December 2022 it was 82 thousand Euros). The hedged instrument of the cash flow hedge corresponds to a proportion of total sales denominated in CLP, corresponding to a monthly sales amount of 265,000 thousand Chilean Pesos.

Fair Value Hedge

The Group hedges the interest rate risk associated with the fluctuation of the market interest rate index (Euribor) on the fair value of interest payments on fixed-rate debt by negotiating interest rate swaps where it pays a variable rate and receives a fixed rate in order to convert fixed-rate debt payments into variable-rate payments.

At 30 June 2023 , the Group has a total of four fair value hedging derivative contracts amounting to 600,000 thousand Euros (as of 31 December 2022 it was 600,000 thousand Euros). The hedged risk corresponds to the change in fair value of debt issues attributable to movements in the market interest rate index (Euribor). Credit risk is not being hedged. At 30 June 2023 , the fair value of interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedging instruments was negative 71,925 thousand Euros (as of 31 December 2022 it was negative 72,563 thousand Euros).

Changes in the fair value of hedged items arising from interest rate risk are recognised in the income statement in order to offset changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument, which are also recognised in the income statement.

Trading Derivative

The Group negotiated an interest rate swap, with a starting date in 2019 and maturity in 2024, which pays fixed rate and receives variable rate. This instrument, although not designated as hedge accounting considering IFRS 9 criteria, is currently hedging the effect of the ineffectiveness of the cash flow hedge of the interest and exchange rate risks of the bond issue in Yen, relative to the fluctuation of interest rates for the hedging period (see Cash Flow Hedge – Interest and Exchange Rate Swaps).

The notional amount of this trading derivative is 60,000 thousand Euros as of 30 June 2023 (at 31 December 2022 it was 60,000 thousand Euros). Credit risk is not being hedged. The fair value of the trading derivative, on 30 June 2023, is positive 1,778 thousand Euros (on 31 December 2022 it was positive 2,064 thousand Euros).

Changes in the fair value of the trading derivative are recorded directly in the income statement. The impact in the income statement, as of 30 June 2023 , related to the effect of the fair value of the trading derivative was negative 293 thousand Euros (as of 30 June 2022 it was 2,260 thousand Euros positive).

27 EXTRAORDINARY CONTRIBUTION OVER THE ENERGY SECTOR

Law no. 83-C / 2013 of 31 December introduced a specific contribution of entities operating in the energy sector, called Extraordinary Contribution over the Energy Sector ("ECES"), that was extended by Law no. 82-B / 2014, of 31 December, Law no. 7-A / 2016, of 30 March, Law no. 114/2017, of 29 December, Law no. 71/2018, 31 December, Law no. 2/2020, of 31 March, Law no. 75-B/2020, of 31 December, Law no. 99/2021, of 31 December and Law no. 24-D/2022, of 31 December.

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 2023 (1 January 2023) 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 2023) 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 28,101 thousand Euros (Note 19) (for the six-month period ended 30 June 2022 was 28,018 thousand Euros) against a cost in the statement of profit and loss.

30 CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

30.1. Contingent liabilities

Tejo Energia - Produção e Distribuição de Energia Eléctrica, SA ("Tejo Energia") and Turbogás – Produtora Energética S.A. ("Turbogás") have announced to REN - Rede Eléctrica Nacional, SA ("REN Eléctrica") and REN Trading SA ("REN Trading") its intention to renegotiate the Energy Acquisition Agreement (CAE), in order to reflect in the amounts payable to this producer the costs, which in its opinion would be due, incurred with (i) financing of the social tariff and (ii) with the tax on petroleum products and energy and with the rate of carbon. Also, these two entities stated its intention to renegotiate the CAE, in order to reflect in the amounts payable the costs incurred with the financing of ECES.

According to the CAE, Tejo Energia and Turbogás act as producers and sellers and REN Trading as purchaser of the energy produced in power plants. REN Eléctrica is jointly and severally liable with REN Trading, regarding the execution of the CAE with Tejo Energia and Turbogás. According to the information received, the total costs incurred by these companies until 30 June 2023 amounts to, approximately, 107 million Euros.

REN Trading and REN Elétrica consider that, with the existing legal framework, this possibility depends on the recognition that the associated charges can be considered as general costs of the national electricity system, the only way to guarantee the economic neutrality of REN Trading's contractual position.

All of these disputes were brought by Tejo Energia and Turbogás and contested by REN Eléctrica and REN Trading, and the outcome is pending resolution.

32 DECREE-LAW NO. 84-D/2022 – TRANSITORY GAS PRICE STABILIZATION REGIME

The Portuguese State, through Decree-Law no. 84-D/2022, of 9 December 2022, established a transitional regime to stabilize the price of natural gas for consumption carried out in 2023, through the discount on the price of natural gas , equivalent to the difference between the price of the energy component, shown on the invoice, and its reference value, as provided for in article 3 of this decree-law.

The beneficiaries of the transitional price stabilization regime are legally constituted legal persons, consumers of high, medium and low pressure gas at delivery points with annual consumption greater than 10,000 m3, with the exception of the entities referred to in number 2 of article 2.th.

The discount is applied directly by the suppliers in the month following the billing of the respective consumption, once the invoice has been paid by the customer, and the discount must be expressly identified on the invoice in which it is reflected.

Suppliers inform, on the first working day of each week, the Global Technical Manager of the National Gas System ("GTG") regarding the quantities and discount values to be applied to the billing issued in the previous week, including the total consumption of their portfolio from clients. Based on the information transmitted, the GTG transfers, within 10 days to the suppliers, the amounts referring to the support to be granted for each identified billing cycle.

As mentioned in the aforementioned Decree-Law, more precisely in Article 7, it is the responsibility of REN Gasodutos, as Global Technical Manager of the National Gas System, to interact with suppliers in order to operationalize the application of this decree- law. It is REN Gasodutos' responsibility to transfer the funds provided by the Portuguese State for the purposes of this decree-law, and such amounts cannot be used for other purposes. The amount transferred by the Government is deposited in a dedicated bank account, with accounting separation in relation to other activities carried out by the Company.

On 29 December 2022, the Company received the amount of 1,000,000 thousand Euros, recorded under the caption Transitory gas price stabilization regime - Decree-Law no. 84-D/2022, both in assets and in liabilities, taking into account the need for accounting separation in relation to the other activities carried out by the Company, as mentioned above and mentioned in paragraph 3 of article 7 of the aforementioned decree-law.

Payments of the amounts corresponding to natural gas consumption billed in 2023 begin in February of the same year and can be settled by the end of January 2024. If the amount transferred under this decree-law is not exhausted, REN transfers the respective remainder in favor of the Portuguese State, as referred to in paragraph 5 of article 7 of the referred Decree-Law.

As of 30 June 2023 , the Company has already made payments in accordance with the aforementioned Decree-Law, as such the amount recorded in "Transitional gas price stabilization regime - Decree-Law 84-D/2022", both in assets and in liabilities, is 931,342 thousand Euros.
