KEY MESSAGES – FINANCIAL

€514.0M +5.5% versus 2022 EBITDA

EBITDA rose mostly driven by:

  • 1. Strong domestic performance (+€19.3M), supported by higher assets and opex remuneration and reduced electricity costs at the LNG terminal (-€11.0M); and
    1. Positive contribution from the international business (+€7.4M).

€149.2M +33.5% versus 2022 Non Recurrent Net Profit

Recurring Net Profit reached €125.0M (+15.1% YoY), as a result of:

    1. Improved operational performance, with an increase in EBIT (+€22.8M) and higher financial results (+€3.4M), driven by the positive contribution of tariff deviation interest
    1. In parallel, with non-recurrent effects, such as revenue recovery from the international business and fiscal effects.

Net debt (excluding tariff deviations) recorded a 4.8% reduction in 2023, despite the increase in average cost of debt to 2.5% (vs 1.8% in 2022).

Including tariff deviations, Net Debt was 2,748.7 (an increase of 34.5% vs 2022), also reflecting REN's investment policy towards the Portuguese energy transition.

In February 2024, REN issued a €300M green bond, with a 8-year maturity. The demand exceeded supply substantially, covering the issuance amount by around 7 times.

CAPEX rose 49.6% in 2023 (an increase of €100M YoY), reflecting REN's focus and commitment towards energy transition.

Transfers to RAB also accelerated in 2023, with a growth of €59.3M (+36.3% YoY), recovering from delays in projects in 2022.

RAB RETURNS

Domestic Business

RAB REMUNERATION INCREASED ACROSS ALL BUSINESSES DRIVEN MOSTLY BY THE INCREASE IN THE RATE OF RETURN

Return on RAB increased driven by a higher asset base (by €23.9M2 to €87.5M) and higher RoR of 5.27% (vs 4.75%)

Return on RAB evolution breakdown - €M

Increase in return on RAB justified by a higher RoR of 5.70% (vs 5.29%), despite the smaller asset base (by €43.9M to a total of €830.8M)

Increase return on RAB attributed to a higher RoR (from 5.49% to 5.90%) and higher asset base (+€7.7M to a total of €491.8M)

Domestic Business

Core OPEX1 evolution - €M KEY HIGHLIGHTS

CORE EXTERNAL COSTS

  • LNG Terminal electricity costs decreased reflecting lower electricity prices (€-11.0M)
  • The decrease in electricity costs was partially offset by increases in other cost natures, such as IT costs, consultancy costs and other services

PERSONNEL COSTS

• General increases and headcount increase (+4% growth YoY, achieving 736 people in December 2023), driven by operational areas growth

NON-CORE COSTS

• Pass-through costs (costs accepted in the tariff) increased €43.5M of which €+35.2M in costs with cross-border and €+6.3M in costs with ERSE

253.2M €3.9M (1.6%)

Depreciation & Amortization

Increase of €3.9M versus 2022, along with an increase in gross assets.

-€40.6M €3.4M (7.7%) Financial results

Increase in Financial results (€3.4M) to -€40.6M, mostly due to the positive impact of interest on tariff deviation generated in 2023 (+€11.5M)1 , partially offset by the increase in financial costs due to the increase in the average cost of debt to 2.5% (from 1.8% in 2022).

71.0M €11.3M (13.7%) Taxes

Decrease in Income tax (-€11.3M to €71.0M) reflecting non-recurring fiscal effect, despite higher EBT (+€26.2M to €220.3M) and higher extraordinary levy (+€0.3M to €28.4M), reflecting a higher regulated asset base.

The Effective tax rate (including the levy) stood at 32.2%, 10 pp below last year.

Efficiency Sharing Mechanism

+

Incentives

+

  • REN recognizes in the income statement the annual rent fixed by the regulator for the entire regulatory period, which aims to remunerate both the OPEX and CAPEX
  • The rent value is updated annually according to its cost drivers namely the RoR. An efficiency factor is set for new investments and Opex
  • Accounting recognition methodology was discussed with REN's external auditor
  • The mechanism application is only closed at the end of the regulatory period.
  • In the next regulatory cycle, REN may share gains or losses with consumers
  • During the period, REN may recognize contingent assets or liabilities in order to reflect potential gains or losses as a result of the mechanism
  • No efficiencies have been recorded into REN's accounts under this mechanism. The best estimate should be registered near the end of the regulatory cycle
  • New Incentive to the Improvement of the TSO Technical Performance (IMDT) based on performance metrics
  • Incentive ranges between -20M€ and 20M€

The annual remuneration starts at 264.3M€ and is updated according to:

  • RoR indexed to 10Y PGB yields (updated monthly)
  • Annual change of GDP deflator (from 2023 onwards)
  • Annual efficiency factor of 1.5% (from 2023 onwards)
  • Volume drivers (Km of network and power producer connections; including 2022)

Efficiencies are shared progressively (between 0%, 50% and 100%) and are measured against the reference return set by ERSE

* According to public information stated in ERSE (Parâmetros de Regulação para o Período 2022-2025 -https://www.erse.pt/media/bjdnrr05/par%C3%A2metros-2022-2025.pdf) | 1 Excludes System Management activity

REGULATION

TRANSPARENT AND STABLE RETURN MECHANISM

RoR Indexation mechanism

Every year

  • Base RoR indexed to the average Portuguese government 10-Y bond yields
  • Electricity - RoR / 10y PGB relation of 0.3 (i.e., 1% change in RoR reflects a 3.3% change in 10y PGB)
  • Gas - RoR / 10y PGB relation of 0.4 (i.e., 1% change in RoR reflects a 2,5% change in 10y PGB)
