1. Overview of the period

KEY MESSAGES 2021

EBITDA achieved €460.8M, a decline of 2.0% YoY. This result was driven by: (1) the reduction in both RAB and remuneration rates(-€3.4M); (2) a decline in IREI (Incentive for Economic Efficiency of Investment) of -€5.1M and (3) a negative contribution from OPEX, due to higher electricity costs.

International business performance improved by +€0.1M, due to the strong performance of Transemel (+€1.4M).

Net Profit reached €97.2M (a decline of 11.1% versus 2020), mostly due to a lower EBITDA and an increase in Income Tax, partially compensated by higher financial results (gain of €4.2M to -€42.6M).

Capex increased by €73.8M (vs €173.3M in 2020), while transfers to RAB soared to €309.1M, an increase of €229.5M, as a result of the electricity transmission business (+€208.6M). Strong consolidation of transfers as 2020 had several projects delayed due to the pandemic.

Definition of renewed and ambitious ESG targets, with a commitment to achieve carbon neutrality by 2040. Issuance of REN's first green bond.

Renewable energy sources (RES) reached 59.2% of total supply (approx.+0.7pp than in 2020). Electricity consumption increased by 1.4% whilst natural gas consumption fell by 4.6% due to a decrease in natural gas use for electricity generation (-9.7%).

The levels of service quality remained high. The level of energy transmission losses stayed in accordance with the figure for the previous year and in line with other TSOs best practices, while the gas transmission combined availability rate reached almost 100%.

SECTOR OVERVIEW

New Regulatory Model for the Electricity Sector

ERSE published the final "Tariffs and Prices for Electricity in 2022 and parameters for 2022-2025 regulatory period", on the 15th December.

A new regulatory model is defined with a revenue cap methodology applied to the controllable TOTEX of electricity transmission. However, assets pre-2022 are still eligible under the previous reference cost mechanism methodology

New regulatory period for the electricity sector

  • (keeping the 0.75% premium over Base RoR and still recording the corresponding asset D&A recovery and the gain on RAB as revenue). The regulator defined the Rate of Return applicable to the next regulatory period 2022-2025 with a base rate of 4.4%, considering 0.302% for the Portuguese 10Y Treasury bonds. Under the indexation mechanism a variation of 1 pp of the Portuguese
  • For the years 2023 to 2025, the efficiency factor for both TEE and GGS activities are set to 1.5%.

10YTB implies a variation of 0.3 pp in the RoR. The minimum is set at 3.7% and the maximum at 7%.

  • ERSE introduced two new incentive mechanisms:
    • Incentive to Improve Technical Performance (IMDT) Promotion of an adequate network performance, based on performance metrics and ranging between -€20M to +€20M. Not to be included in the Efficiency Sharing Mechanism
    • Efficiency Sharing Mechanism a mechanism under which the positive or negative spread from the defined reference return is shared / recovered at the end of the regulatory period (cumulative sharing ratios 0%; 50% and 100% as the spread grows).

New National Electricity System Law

Following the government's public consultation which ended in November 2021, the new Law-Decree n.º 15/2022 was published on the 14th of January 2022, regarding the organization and functioning rules of the National Electricity System (SEN). The new law acts on five axes: i) production licensing; ii) network planning; iii) competitive mechanisms to access SEN activities; iv) giving consumers an active role in the system; and v) allowance to innovative technologies.

Energy Transition

REN applied to the Portuguese Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR) and had two projects selected for the final phase: (i) the H2 Green Valley project, for the development of a Green H2 ecosystem in Sines, and (ii) the High Power Mobility project, for implementation of 8 pilot projects using the solution for electric charging through the Transmission Grid patented by REN.

REN projects have an estimated total investment of €52M (of which €37.5M to be made by REN) and €23M (of which €13.5M to be made by REN), respectively. Final Proposals will be submitted at the beginning of April 2022.

Following the impacts of the pandemic, the European Commission created the Next Generation EU, a recovery instrument, from which the Recovery and Resilience Facility is developed, which includes the PRR.

    • Return on RAB drop caused by a lower rate of return on assets with and without premium1 despite a higher asset base (increased by €13.0M to €2,013.0M)
  • Decline in Return on RAB justified by a smaller asset base (by €34.7M to a total of €910.8M) and a lower RoR of 4.52% (-4bps)
  • Return on RAB reduction attributed to a lower rate of return (from 4.76% to 4.72%) despite a higher asset base (+€1.8M to a total of €473.4M)

RAB remuneration decreased across all businesses driven by a lower RoR

5. Closing remarks

CLOSING REMARKS

Fully committed to deliver solid results and sustainable returns

EBITDA of €460.8M a decrease of 2% YoY, mostly due to a lower RAB remuneration, decrease in IREI incentive and a negative contribution from OPEX, due to higher electricity costs.

Net Profit amounted to €97.2M (-11.1%) driven by the decrease in EBITDA and a higher income tax, partially offset by the increase in financial results.

Significant Net Debt improvement due to a higher operating cash flow and tariff deviations. Solid Financial Results, reflecting the downward trend in cost of debt.

Strong consolidation of Transfers to RAB and Capex versus 2020 as a result of the reduction in pandemic hurdles, focusing on the energy transition process.

The Board of Directors will propose, at the General Shareholders' Meeting on April 28, the payment of a dividend of 15.4 cents per share, in line with the revised dividend policy for the 2021-24 cycle.

On 15th of December, ERSE released the Tariffs and Prices for Electricity for 2022, as well as the parameters for the regulatory period of 2022-2025. The Electricity framework moved to a TOTEX model and specific incentives rationale, it was extended to 4 years from 3 years, base RoR set at 4.4% (implied 10y PGB yields of 0.302%). REN believes these regulatory changes do not compromise the targets presented at the 2021-24 Strategic Plan.

REGULATION - ELECTRICITY

Spread between efficiency performance and reference return is progressively shared with consumers

Description Calculation Efficiency sharing mechanism

  • At the end of the regulatory cycle, REN's actual outperformance or underperformance under TOTEX is measured against a reference rate of return. The sum of the differences of the period is shared with consumers, under certain conditions
    • o Reference return: Set as the related asset weighted average of the yearly RoR with and without premium. Evolves with 10Y PGB yields
    • o REN's TOTEX yearly outperformance or underperformance: Actual TOTEX yearly margin of the period divided by the actual RAB value
  • Efficiencies are calculated after the end of the regulatory period and shared during the next one (recovered or paid back gradually over 2027-2029)
  • Efficiencies are shared progressively depending on the efficiencies level band, which establishes the sharing of 0%, 50% or 100%

Sharing mechanism band, % shared with consumers

  • IMDT incentive
  • Reference cost mechanism incentive (2009-21) allowances
  • Additional exceptional investments which are not included in the base TOTEX
  • Non-controllable costs and other costs not subject to efficiency
