01 – Overview of the Period 02 – Business Performance 03 – 2021-2024 Strategy Plan Execution & Outlook 04 – Shaping a Sustainable Future 05 – Closing Remarks Key messages – Financial 1. Higher RoR's driving an increase in domestic revenues (+€31.2M);

  • EBITDA rose 5.7% versus 2021, standing at €487.3M, mostly driven by:
    1. Strong performance in the international business (+€6.1M).
  • Net Profit increased 15% YoY, standing at €111.8M, as a result of improved operating performance, with an EBIT growth of 8.7% to €238.0M. This was partly offset by lower financial results (-€1.4M), higher taxes (+€2.2M) and higher levy (+€1.0M) due to higher regulated asset base. • Average RAB increased €7.0M to €3,609.8M. Total Capex stood at €201.5M vs €247.1M in 2021, and Transfers to RAB amounted to €163.3M, a decrease of €145.8M.

  • Net Debt (adjusted for tariff deviations) reduction to €2,543M (-3.3% vs 2021) due to a robust operating cash-flow.
  • REN signed a two-tranche loan financing with the EIB of €450m (12-year maturity).

  • Key messages Operational • Renewable energy sources (RES) reached 49.4% of the total supply in 2022 (-10.2pp versus 2021), despite the significant drop in hydro generation, as a result of the severe drought that affected the Iberian Peninsula throughout most of the year. • Electricity consumption increased 1.8% whilst natural gas consumption fell 3.2%. • The levels of service quality remained high. The level of energy transmission losses in electricity stayed in line with 2021, while the gas

  • transmission combined availability rate reached 100%.

  • Innovation continued to be a priority with important developments in 2022, such as dynamic network planning or digital twin network analysis tools, augmented reality assisted equipment or drones for O&M support.
  • REN continued committed to support and develop the energy policy defined by the Government, as one of its key players.

  • Submission of science based targets for scope 1 and scope 2, and definition of new ESG targets for 2030 regarding scope 3 emissions and Non-Greenhouse Gas emissions (-25% for both, with the baseline year of 2021). • Consistent improvement across International ESG ratings, highlighting REN's commitment to achieve sustainability targets. • Strong effort in recruiting new operational skilled staff to support every transition objective. • Portugal, Spain and France agreed to develop the first H2 green corridor of RepowerEU (the H2MED project). • Studies are underway to certify the existing gas infrastructure for H2 blending capability. • Under the "H2 Green Valley" Agenda, REN is designing an H2 pipeline backbone with a capacity to produce of up to 2GW of electrolyzer production in Sines.
