2020 RESULTS 3

KEY MESSAGES 2020

EBITDA reached €470.2M, a decrease of 3.3% (-€16.1M) YoY attributed to (1) lower RAB remuneration (-€23.8M), due to declining rates from lower sovereign bond yields coupled with new parameters in the gas regulatory framework and a smaller RAB; (2) a reduced OPEX contribution, and (3) a one-off improvement in the Economic efficiency of investments (RE I) incentive of +€7M.

The performance from the international segment benefited EBITDA by €5.0M, namely the consolidation of Transemel.

Net Profit amounted to €109.2M (€9.7M lower than in 2019), with a positive contribution from Financial results (increase of €5.7M to -€46.8M), mostly due to a lower cost of debt (from 2.1% to 1.8%), an increase in dividends received and a lower income tax (with a reduction of €9.9M to €44.9M and with the benefit of a tax credit of €5.6M. All of which helped bring net debt down.

RE N continued to be penalized by the special levy, which rose €3.7M due to the inclusion of Portgás and stood at €28.1M. Since its introduction in 2014 RE N has deposited more than €180M into the State's coffers.

COVID-19 added an additional layer of challenge to RE N's operations but other than for a short period of time between mid-March and early May, when only emergency and critical activities could be performed the whole company was able to securely adapt and deliver in all fronts. The result was visible as quality of service remained at the usual very high levels.

After extensive work during the fourth quarter of 2020, last February, RE N was licensed to issue "green bonds" rated as B ("Prime") by the International Shareholder Services ESG (ISS-ESG).

Service quality remained high, with 0.03min of electricity interruption time (0.72min in 2019) and natural gas combined availability rate at approximately 100%, the same rate as in 2019

Renewable energy sources reached 59% of the total supply ( 51% in 2019). Consumption of electricity and natural gas decreased by 3.0% and 1.6% respectively, mainly due to COVID-19.

ENERGY TRANSITION includes gas

Hydrogen-ready policy sets the gas network as the future national green gas backbone as set in the 62/2020 Decree-Law

Kick started with National Hydrogen Strategy

IPCEI1 call of interest issued by the Portuguese Government selected 32 candidate projects out of 72 for a possible application. These projects cover multiple industrial areas for hydrogen in the energy transition covering:

  • The value chain renewable energy production and storage, hydrogen production, distribution, transport, storage, commercialization and export built on Portuguese solar competitive advantage, and new business models.
  • Production of value-added equipment for hydrogen projects cost efficiency in cooperation with multiple international companies with focus on Portugal.

A collaborative laboratory is under development to support production technologies to allow gains to scale along the hydrogen value chain.

REN is developing and adapting its own infrastructure while providing technical cooperation to projects for network hydrogen injection. Pressure is building up as the Portuguese Government has launched a call for POSEUR-01- 2020-19 with 40 M€ budget for renewables gases production support ending in April and schedule to start production until 2023.

REN actions

+20 companies, institutes and universities already involved in Hylab an hydrogen R&D cluster with labs in Sines Lisbon and Porto with RE N as a founding member.

Innovation fund application

was delivered to develop and refurbish the existing high pressure network and equipment for hydrogen capability together with and underground storage project to deliver development.

Cooperation with the major national projects as infrastructure facilitator.

5. Closing remarks

CLOSING REMARKS

Core businesses remained resilient despite COVID-19, while gains deprivation came attached to regulatory changes and CESE increments

This past year was unarguably peculiar, the consequences caused by the pandemic both on the economy and, above all, on public health were devastating. Still, REN ensured the safety of its employees whilst it helped the community through donations. Regardless of the challenges, REN's success is visible in the high-quality services provided and commitment to its part in society.

EBITDA was positively influenced by international exposure. Namely, the inclusion of Transemel and solid performance from Electrogas. The focus and discipline that define REN remained preserved and a lower cost of debt was attained. However, its performance has deteriorated, not only due to a lower return on assets from gas, imposed by the regulatory framework of 2020-23, as well as the CESE contribution, which led the company to pay a total of €180M, in the last 7 years.

The certification to issue "Green Bonds" was concluded and REN will be able to tap the market in the second quarter of 2021. This is an important step in driving forward REN' sustainable development goals, keeping its rating and a very conservative funding structure.

The Board of Directors will propose, at the General Shareholders' Meeting on April 23, the payment of a dividend of 17.1 cents per share, in line with previous years and with REN's current dividend policy.

On May 14, REN will host its Capital Markets Day, where the Board of Directors will present the new business plan 2021-24. In a scenario in which the energy transition is increasingly important, REN will maintain its focus delivering a stellar quality of service as well as address the challenges coming from the changing energy environment.

  • In 2020, with the coronavirus pandemic, the global economy suffered a deep contraction. However, REN maintained its financial strength and continued to present high liquidity and a low average cost of debt;
  • RE N's total liquidity reached €886M, including credit facilities, loans, non-used commercial paper programmes, cash and bank deposits;
  • Bank borrowings were mainly represented by EIB loans (€480.8M);
  • The Group had credit lines negotiated and not used in the amount of €80.0M, maturing up to one year, which are automatically renewed periodically (if they are not resigned in the contractually specified period for that purpose);
  • RE N also had nine active commercial paper programmes in the amount of €2,000.0M, of which €1,300.0M were available for use;
  • RE N's financial liabilities had the following main types of covenants: Cross Default, Pari Passu, Negative Pledge and Gearing;
  • The effect of the foreign exchange rate exposure was not considered as this exposure is totally covered by a hedge derivate in place. The average interest rates for borrowings, including commissions and other expenses, was 1.81% at the end of December.
