1. Overview of the period

KEY MESSAGES 9M2021

EBITDA amounted to €343.4M, a reduction of 2.6% (-€9.1M) YoY explained by (1) a lower RAB remuneration (-€6.6M), driven by a decrease in RAB (with an impact of -€4.4M) and in RoR (-€2.2M); (2) a lower OPEX contribution (-€3.4M), partially offset by a higher incentive for economic efficiency of investments (+€1.4M) and amortizations recovery (+€0.9M).

International performance had a negative delta of €0.9M, despite a better EBITDA from Transemel (+€0.3M).

Net Profit stood at €68.4M, due to (1) a solid contribution from Financial results (increase of €5.5M to -€31.1M), a consequence of the decrease of the cost of debt (from 1.9% to 1.6%); and (2) a lower energy levy (Δ€1.1M).

Capex increased by €38.0M vs 9M20 to €141.7M, while transfers to RAB reached €80.5M, an increase of €58.6M, driven by the electricity transmission business (+€56.4M). Steadily the transfers that had to be delayed due to the pandemic are getting on target.

Renewable energy sources (RES) reached 60.6% of total supply (approx. +4.7 p.p. than in 9M20). Consumption of electricity and the distribution of natural gas increased.

High levels of service quality were maintained during the first nine months of 2021. The level of energy transmission losses stood at 2.0% for 9M2021, in line with the figure for the previous year while the combined availability rate of gas transmission reached 99.9%.

network, the tariff treatment to be given to autonomous storage facilities, and other.

New regulatory period for the electricity sector

  • On the 15th of October, ERSE announced the proposal of Tariffs and Prices for Electricity in 2022. The regulator defined the Rate of Return applicable to the next regulatory period 2022-2025 with a base rate of 4%, considering 0.224% for the Portuguese 10Y Treasury bonds. An indexation mechanism is kept as before, a variation of 2.5% of the 10YTB leads to a variation of 1% in the RoR. The floor is 3.7% and the ceiling is 7%. The efficiency factor for both TEE and GGS activities are set to 1.5% for the years 2023 to 2025. ERSE has also decided to keep 0.75% premium over all the assets built before the 31st of December 2021 that are entitled to this under the reference cost mechanism.
  • The detailed parameter proposal has been submitted to the tariff council and the final parameters will be known on the 15th of December.

ERSE approved and published the reformulation of the Tariffs Regulation for the electricity sector where it approved a

Robust Financial Results, as the cost of debt continued its descending trend

Positive change in financial results (+€5.5M) reflecting the decrease in the average cost of debt of 0.27 p.p. to 1.6%, lower net debt and greater dividends from HCB (€1.5M), despite reduced dividends from REE (-€0.3M)

Total taxes include the extraordinary levy of €27.1M (€28.2M in 9M20) and income tax which grew by €4.6M to €36.3M

Effective tax rate reached 43.0%, a 4.1 p.p. increment relatively to 9M20 (including the levy)

Increase in the effective tax rate vs 9M20 reflecting the different recovery of previous years taxes in 9M20 (€5.6M) versus 9M21 (€2.4M)

Net Profit decreased as a result of lower EBITDA, partially offset by better financial results and lower CESE

  • The Positive effect of €5.5M from Financial Results as a consequence of better financial conditions and higher dividends from associates (Δ€1.2M)

  • Decrease in tax recovery from previous years (Δ€-3.2M)

CLOSING REMARKS

Fully committed to deliver solid results and sustainable returns

Unsurprisingly, EBITDA decreased as a consequence of the reduction in both RAB and remuneration rates as well as the activities in Electrogas.

Net Profit stood at €68.4M reflecting the EBIT reduction and the gains from the financial results, the recovery of previous years' taxes and a lower levy.

Net debt was significantly lower than in the previous quarter benefiting from a higher operating cash flow and the cash inflow of tariff deviations, which were both higher than the outflows of CAPEX and financing activities.

CAPEX is improving according to plan and due to the decrease in the pandemic hurdles

On the 15th of October ERSE disclosed the proposal for Tariffs and Prices for Electricity for 2022 and the parameters for the regulatory period of 2022-2025. After evaluation of the opinion expressed by the Tariff Council (due by 15th of November), ERSE will approve the final tariff values, which are to be published until 15 December 2021.
