  • 1) Financial result from the interconnection capacity auctions between Spain and Portugal (-€0.4M in 1Q18 and -€0.3M in 1Q17) – known as FTR (Financial Transaction Rights) was reclassified from Financial Result to Revenues (EBITDA level);
  • 2) Fixed/Variable rates: 60%/40%.

  • EBITDA was up by €4.7M (3.8%) to €128.4M, essentially due to the impact in results of the recent acquisition of Portgás (€10.9M). However, this was partially mitigated by the lower rates of return resulting from the new regulatory framework in electricity and the decrease in bond yields that caused an additional decline in returns of €10.2M yoy, in transmission;

  • Net Profit stood at €13.1M, 3.0% below the same period of 2017. The decrease was mainly driven by the growth in Amortizations, the Financial Result and the maintenance of the recognition of the extraordinary levy on the energy sector (€25.3M in 2018);
  • Financial Result evolution (-€1.1M, to -€16.6M) was affected by the increase in Net Debt (€2,643.7M versus €2,543.5M in 1Q17), following the Portgás' acquisition (€530.3M). Furthermore, REN continued to fine-tune its cost of debt which was down to 2.3% from 2.6% in 1Q17;
  • Recurrent Net Profit amounted to €38.4M, €2.5M (6.2%) below 1Q17's number;
  • In 11th April 2018, Fitch reaffirmed REN's Rating at 'BBB', with a stable outlook.

  • Both CAPEX and Transfers to RAB have displayed a positive evolution due to Portgás, standing at €13.9M (from €13.2M in 1Q17) and €2.3M (from €1.1M in 1Q17), respectively. Furthermore, Average RAB grew by 10.9% to €3,877.8M, again helped by the contribution of Portgás (€464.1M);
  • Within the scope of the electricity transmission infrastructures, the following projects were under way:
  • Remodelling of the last phases of the protection, automation, control systems and AT/BT equipment in the substations of Riba de Ave, Canelas, Santarém and Carriche;
  • Insulation reinforcement of the high voltage switchgear in the substation of Alto de Mira.
  • Natural Gas investments were in line with 1Q18, with no highlighted projects.

Note: T - Transmission; D - Distribution; OHL - Overhead Line.

AVERAGE RAB ROSE BY 10.9%

Impacted by the Portgás acquisition

  • The main reason why RAB was higher this year was the integration of Portgás, with an additional €464.1M of assets;
  • The negative contribution of NG transmission and electricity without premium mitigated the increase in average RAB that was up by 10.9%;
  • In the electricity business, the base rate of return (RoR) decreased to 5.2% from 6.5%. Electricity with premium (with a 6.0% RoR) was up by €20.3M vs 1Q17, while lands, the category with the lowest RoR (0.4%), saw a decrease in the value of its average RAB of €12.7M, to €247.6M year-on-year;
  • In natural gas transmission, the average RAB had a decrease of €41.0M (RoR 5.5%);
  • At the end of 1Q18, electricity accounted for 54.6% of the average RAB, natural gas for 39.0% (Portgás included) and lands for the remaining 6.4%.

(1) Includes -Δ€0.2M of NG tariff smoothing effect (natural gas);

(2) Transmission business only;

(3) Includes €1.2M related to the one-off costs with Electrogas (in 1Q17) and Δ€0.7M of OPEX own works.

IN TRANSMISSION, RAB REMUNERATION FELL BY €10.0M

1) Portgás accounted for asset returns using ERSE's ex-ante allowed return (6.40%). REN used the effective rate calculated using the 10-Year bond yields (6.68%).

OPEX ROSE BY €5.6M DUE TO PORTGÁS

Excluding this effect OPEX decreased by €1.6M

OPERATIONAL COSTS (€M)

OPEX variation was mostly explained by the acquisition of Portgás. External Supplies and Services includes €1.2M from Electrogas acquisition in 2017.

RESULTS REPORT

(1) Include -Δ€0.8M of Other Operating Costs.

IN 1Q18, CORE OPEX WAS UP BY €1.9M (9.2%)

Without Portgás it went down by 7.9%

(1) ITC - Inter Transmission System Operator Compensation for Transits;

(2) Related to Portgás.

BELOW EBITDA

Average cost of debt maintained its downward trend (from 2.6% to 2.3%)

Average cost of debt was 2.3% versus 2.6% in 1Q17;

  • Depreciations and amortizations increased by €4.3M (7.9%) to €58.7M, due to Portgás integration;
  • Reported Income Tax decreased by €0.3M to €40.0M. The effective tax rate reached 27.7%, without taking into account the special levy on the energy sector;
  • In 1Q18, the Group was taxed at a Corporate Income Tax rate of 21%, added by a municipal surcharge up to the maximum of 1.5% over the taxable profit plus (i) a State surcharge of an additional 3.0% of taxable profit between €1.5M and €7.5M; (ii) an additional 5.0% of taxable profit in excess of €7.5M and up to €35.0M; and (iii) 9.0% over the taxable profit in excess of €35.0M.
  • Financial Result stood at -€16.6M, impacted by the Net Debt evolution that included Portgás acquisition.

Average cost of debt decreased over the last twelve months (2.3% in 1Q18 vs 2.6% in 1Q17);

  • FFO/Net Debt went up to 11.8%.
  • (1) Includes Δ€39.4M of tariff deviations.

REN IS ALREADY FUNDED OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS

In 1Q18, the cost of REN's debt continued to come down, thus maintaining the trend set in 2014. This reduction was due to the relevant improvements in market conditions and REN's own risk profile that warrants its debt as investment grade by the three major rating agencies - S&P, Fitch and Moody's;

The average debt maturity at the end of 1Q18 was 4.98 years.

  • 1) The ratio was affected by the Portgás acquisition;
  • 2) Value adjusted by interest accruals and hedging on yen denominated debt.
