RESULTS REPORT 2018

MAIN INDICATORS

In 2018, EBITDA stood at €492.3M, an increase of 1.0% compared with the previous year, mainly driven by the Portgás consolidation (€34.2M). Additionally, there was a positive contribution from the sale of the LPG(1) business (€3.7M) and Electrogas (∆€0.7M). However, these gains were partially offset by the decline in asset remuneration (-∆€35.3M), following the parameters set in the current electricity regulatory period and the

Net profit and Recurrent Net Profit decreased to €115.7M (-8.1%) and €137.2M (-11.4%), respectively, in spite of the positive contribution of Financial Results that reached €57.8M (5.7% YoY). Financials benefited from the reduction in the average cost of debt (2.2% versus 2.5% in 2017) and the decrease in Net Debt (-€103.1M to €2,653.1M);

CAPEX and RAB

The deceleration of demand for new gas and electricity infrastructures resulted in a reduction in Total CAPEX and Transfers to RAB. Capex amounted to €121.9M (€155.6M in 2017) and Transfers to RAB to €88.5M (€158.8M in

In electricity transmission the following projects were among the ones

• Refurbishment of command and protection systems and High Voltage

• Refurbishment of command and protection systems at Carriche and

  • 2017);
  • completed in 2018:
  • switchgear at Riba de Ave and Canelas susbtations;
  • Santarém substations.
    • Expansion of detection and extinction fire network;
  • Adequacy of ground system at LNG Terminal;
  • Replacement of flow computers in GRM.
  • densification, mostly for B2C.

Within NG transportation and storage the most important projects were:

CAPEX REACHED €121.9M Of which Portgás accounted for €24.9M

Average RAB was lower €92.8M year-on-year, penalized by the negative path of NG transportation and

In the electricity transmission, the base rate of return (RoR) was down by 1.2p.p. to 5.2%, driven by the new 2018-2020 regulatory framework, in which the starting point is 5.9%, vs 6.4% in the previous period. The electricity with premium decreased by €5.3M YoY, while lands, the category with the lowest RoR (0.3%), was down by €12.7M to €242.9M;

In natural gas transportation, the average RAB decreased by €42.9M (RoR 5.5%) to €1,032.6M;

By year-end, electricity accounted for 54.6% of the average RAB, natural gas for 39.1% (Portgás included) and lands for the remaining 6.3%.

AVERAGE RAB DOWN BY 2.4% TO €3,832.0M Portgás had a positive contribution of €9.3M

EBITDA (€M)

(1) Includes -Δ€0.6M of NG tariff smoothing effect (natural gas); (2) Includes €1.2M related to the one-off costs with Electrogas (in 1Q17) and Δ€0.09M of OPEX own works.

EBITDA REACHED €492.3M Portgás contributed with €34.2M

1) In 2017, Portgás contributed with €7.1M (last 3 months of 2017) for REN's RAB remuneration.

RAB REMUNERATION DROPPED BY €36.7M Driven by the decrease in both RoR and asset bases (Electricity and NGT )

(1) ITC - Inter Transmission System Operator Compensation for Transits; (2) Item related to Portgás.

With the new electricity regulatory period starting in 2018, "Forest clearing" costs are now subject to revenue cap (Core OPEX), and therefore no longer a pass-through cost. This amounted to €3.8M in extra Core OPEX.

Depreciations and amortizations rose by 5.9% to €222.0M, as a result

Income Tax grew to €52.5M. Without taking into account the special levy on the energy sector, the effective tax rate reached 29.3%, versus 25.7% in the previous year. This €5.9M variation was mainly due to a higher State surcharge (∆€2.2M), to 9% in 2018 from 7% in 2017, and a higher amount of deferred taxes, due to the increase in

  • of the integration of Portgás;
  • receivables from tariff deviations (∆€2M);
  • over the taxable profit in excess of €35.0M;
  • cost of debt and its stock.

In 2018, the Group was taxed at a Corporate Income Tax rate of 21%, increased 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%

Financials benefited from both lower stock and lower cost of debt

NET DEBT (€M)

The Average cost of debt decreased by 0.31p.p. to 2.2%.

(1) Includes Δ€6.4M of positive tariff deviations.

NET DEBT DOWN BY 3.7% TO €2,653.1M

NET PROFIT DECREASED BY 8.1% TO €115.7M On the back of higher amortizations (€13.1M) due to the Portgás acquisition

  • In 2018, the cost of REN's debt decreased to 2.2% due to 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;
  • During this year, S&P upgraded REN's rating to 'BBB/A‐2' from 'BBB‐/A‐3' (in October) and Fitch reaffirmed REN's Rating at 'BBB', with a stable outlook (in April). Consequently, REN maintained its position as the Portuguese listed company with the best rating from all three major agencies, that lead to a more favourable climate among REN's creditors and helps to open the door for future issues of debt securities at potentially lower costs.

1) The ratio was affected by the Portgás acquisition;

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

REN IS FUNDED OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS The average debt maturity at the end of the period was 4.35 years

** In 4Q17, Purchase Price Allocation €1.2M was reclassified to "Depreciations and amortizations" in "EBITDA breakdown (Other)" (page 25).

REN's Portgás acquisition was only completed in October 2017 and REN started to consolidate Portgás in 4Q17 (full consolidation method). For this reason, Portgás' 2017 results are not entirely comparable with 2018 results.
