1) Full year consolidation of Portgás. These figures were not audited and are merely indicative;

2) Financial result from the interconnection capacity auctions between Spain and Portugal (-€0.5M in 2016 and -€0.6M in 2017) – known as FTR (Financial Transaction Rights) was reclassified from Financial Result to Revenues (EBITDA level);

3) Fixed/Variable rates: 54%/46%; The €300M bond issue of January 2018 increased the proportion of fixed/variable debt.

RESULTS AT A GLANCE

  • In the full year of 2017, EBITDA rose to €487.5M (2.4%). Consistent with this trend, Net Profit amounted to €125.9M and Recurrent Net Profit was €154.8M, respectively 25.7% and 22.5% above 2016;
  • EBITDA included the positive contributions of three months of consolidation of Portgás (€8.9M) and of Electrogas' results (€7.2M). Additionally, the Regulatory Asset Base improved 11.0%, standing at €3,924.7M. This resulted in an increase in revenues asset-related of €2.2M;
  • Net Profit continued to be boosted by strong financial result that stood at -€61.2M (23.3%), on the back of the sustained lowering trend in the average cost of debt (2.5%, versus 3.2% in FY2016). Net Debt reached €2,756.2M (11.2%) impacted by the acquisitions of Electrogas (€169.3M) and Portgás (€530.3M), which was partly compensated by the €250.0M capital increase. Additionally, REN's results were penalized by the extraordinary levy on the energy sector. Since 2014, REN has paid more than €100M and in 2017 this payment brought the effective corporate tax rate to 38.4%;
  • In 7 th December, REN accomplished a capital increase of €250M, through the issue of 133,191,262 new shares, at the unitary subscription price of 1.877 euros. These shares were admitted to trading in the Euronext Lisbon regulated market in 13th December;
  • In 11th January 2018, REN issued €300M of bonds (through its EMTN programme) with a maturity of ten years. The proceeds were used to repay the bridge loan used on the recent REN Portgás acquisition.

Total CAPEX was €155.6M (€171.5M in 2016) and Transfers to RAB amounted to €158.8M (€154.2M in 2016). Average RAB improved 11.0%, standing at €3,924.7M;

Within the framework of the electricity transmission infrastructures, the following projects were completed:

  • Recarei-Feira, Batalha-Paraimo and Pego-Rio Maior, 400 kV OHL, remodeling;
  • New transformer 150/60 kV, 126 MVA and new bay substation 60 kV in Ourique to feed distribution network;
  • New Autotransformer 400/150 kV, 450 MVA and new bay substation 60 kV in Tavira;
  • Remodeling of the protection, automation, control systems and AT/BT equipment in Ermidas Sado switching station and substations of Riba de Ave, Canelas and Carriche.

Natural Gas investments were in line with 2016, with no highlighted projects.

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

AVERAGE RAB INCREASED BY 11.0%

With the acquisition of Portgás (€455.2M)

  • The main reason why RAB was higher this year was the integration of Portgás, with an additional €455.2M of assets;
  • The negative contribution of NG transmission and electricity without premium, mitigated the increase in average RAB that was up by 11.0%;
  • In the electricity business, the base rate of return (RoR) increased to 6.3% from 6.1%. Electricity with premium (with a 7.1% RoR) was up by €27.3M vs 2016, while lands, the category with the lowest RoR (0.4%), saw a decrease in the value of its average RAB of €12.8M, to €255.6M;
  • In natural gas transmission, the average RAB had a decrease of €40.6M (RoR 6.0%);
  • At the end of 2017, electricity accounted for 54.5% of the average RAB, natural gas for 39.0% (Portgás included) and lands for the remaining 6.5%.

(3) Includes €1.2M and €2.1M related to the one-off costs with Electrogas and EDPG acquisitions (respectively) and Δ€1.6M of OPEX own works.

capital)

FINANCIAL ASSETS APPLYING THE EQUITY METHOD:

  • Investments in associates are initially recorded (in Balance sheet) at cost and are subsequently adjusted to reflect the investor's share of the net profit of the associate;
  • A proportional value of the results of these entities (in this case, 42.5%) is accounted as operating income (and as EBITDA by choice);
  • Dividends received from the associate company reduce the carrying amount of the investment, against cash inflow;
  • On the other hand, in investment in associates with no significant influence or control (usually, holdings of less than 20%), the dividends are recognized as other financial income, by offsetting a cash inflow item. These investments are classified as assets available-for-sale (in the Balance sheet) in accordance with IAS 39 (as REE and HCB stake).

TRANSMISSION RAB REMUNERATION DROPPED €6.3M

Despite the positive contribution of electricity

1) FY2017 values. Portgás contributed with €7.1M for REN's RAB remuneration (last 3 months).

OPEX INCREASED BY €14.0M

Driven by non current, non core and revenue related costs

OPERATIONAL COSTS (€M)

RESULTS REPORT

The External Supplies and Services evolution was mostly explained by: (1) €3.3M from the Portgás and Electrogas acquisitions; (2) €2.1M from electricity costs related to the increase in the LNG Terminal activity; and (3) Δ€1.9M from ITC mechanism costs(2) . Without these effects and on a like for like comparison, OPEX was roughly the same as in 2016 (+0.7%).

(1) Include Δ€0.2M of Other Operating Costs; (2) Note: (2) and (3) are costs related with revenues and pass-through costs.

IN 2017, CORE OPEX ROSE BY €9.5M (10.7%)

REN IS ALREADY FUNDED OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS

  • In 2017, 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 2017 was 4.09 years. In January, REN issued €300M of 10 year fixed-rate bonds that increased maturity and the fixed/variable debt ratio.

2) Value adjusted by interest accruals and hedging on yen denominated debt.
