There were no changes to the consolidation perimeter in 2021 compared to that reported on 31 December 2020.
There were no changes to the consolidation perimeter in 2020 compared to that reported on 31 December 2019.
These interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors at a meeting held on 11 November 2021. The Board of Directors believes that the consolidated financial statements fairly present the financial position of the companies included in the consolidation, the consolidated results of their operations, their consolidated comprehensive income, the consolidated changes in their equity and their consolidated cash flows in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards for interim financial statements as endorsed by the European Union (IAS 34).
The consolidated financial statements for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021 were prepared in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting Standards, therefore do not include all information required for annual financial statements so should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements issued for the year ended 31 December 2020.
The Board of Directors evaluated the Group's going concern capability, based on all the relevant information, facts and circumstances, of financial, commercial and other natures, including subsequent events occurred after the financial statement report date. Particularly, as of 30 September 2021, current liabilities in the amount of 943,644 thousand Euros are greater than current assets, which total 775,430 thousand Euros.
However, in addition to the consolidated results and cash flows estimated for the following twelve months, the Group has, as of 30 September 2021, credit lines in the form of commercial paper available for use in the amount of 1,425,000 thousands Euros (Note 16). Additionally, the Group has, as of 30 September 2021, 80,000 thousand Euros in credit lines contracted and not used (Note 16).
In result of this assessment, the Board concludes that the Group has the adequate resources to proceed its activity, not intending to cease its operations in short term, and therefore considers adequate the use of a going concern basis in the preparation of the financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of Euros – tEuros, rounded to the thousand closer.
As a result of the pandemic corona virus (COVID-19), there was a general worsening of the global climate of uncertainty, with negative effects on the prospects for the world economy evolution and financial markets.
The REN Group is actively monitoring this situation, has activated all the necessary plans and, although the situation is unpredictable, REN Group does not have or estimate to have, as of this date, significant effects on its operability and regulatory duties. It should be noted that the REN Group operates, essentially, in two business areas, Electricity and Gas, according to concession contracts attributed to the Group. These concession contracts are regulated, which in a certain way minimizes the possible impacts of the pandemic.
Additionally, it should be noted, and although there are no significant impacts as mentioned, there was some delay in the execution of some investment projects, in the period from March to April 2020, coinciding with the moment of general confinement in the country, but we estimate a recovery of these delays until the end of the year 2021.
There were no significant changes in the long-term expectation of recovery of the Group's investments and financial holdings.
On the present date, and taking into account the above and Note 5 - Main Estimates and Judgments, disclosed in the annex to the 2020 consolidated financial statements, the Group does not foresee any changes in the most relevant estimates, in the case of Provisions, Assumptions Actuarial, Tangible and Intangible Fixed Assets, Impairment, Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Impairment of Goodwill and Tariff deviations.
The consolidated financial statements were prepared for interim financial reporting purposes (IAS 34), on a going concern basis from the books and accounting records of the companies included in the consolidation, maintained in accordance with the accounting standards in force in Portugal, adjusted in the consolidation process so that the financial statements are presented in accordance with interim Financial Reporting Standards as endorsed by the European Union in force for the years beginning as from 1 January 2021.
Such Financial Reporting standards include International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), International Accounting Standards (IAS), issued by the International Accounting Standards Committee ("IASC") and respective IFRIC and SIC interpretations, issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee ("IFRIC") and Standard Interpretation Committee ("SIC"), that have been endorsed by the European Union. The standards and interpretations are hereinafter referred generically to as IFRS.
The accounting policies used to prepare these consolidated financial statements are consistent, in all material respects, with the policies used to prepare the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, as explained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for 2020, except for the adoption of new effective standards for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021.
The Group has not previously adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that is not yet in force.
The estimates and assumptions with impact on REN's consolidated financial statements are continuously evaluated, representing at each reporting date the Board of Directors best estimates, considering historical performance, past accumulated experience and expectations about future events that, under the circumstances, are believed to be reasonable. There were no changes in the main estimates and judgments presented in relation to the nine-month period ended on 30 September 2021 and compared to the year ended on 31 December 2020.
The following standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions have been endorsed by the European Union with mandatory application in effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021:
These amendments are related to the previous insurance contracts Standard (IFRS 4), so that eligible insurers can still apply IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments alongside IFRS 17. The amendment provides some entities with a temporary exemption from application of IFRS 9 and gives all entities with insurance contracts the option, following full adoption of IFRS 9, to present changes in fair value on qualifying designated financial assets in other comprehensive income (OCI) instead of profit or loss (referred to as the "overlay approach"). The adoption of these amendments does not result in significant impacts on REN's consolidated financial statements.
These amendments finalises the Board's response to the ongoing reform of inter-bank offered rates (IBOR) and other interest rate benchmarks. These amendments complement those issued in 2019 and focus on the effects on financial statements when a company replaces the old interest rate benchmark with an alternative benchmark rate as a result of the reform. The adoption of these amendments does not result in significant impacts on REN's consolidated financial statements.
These amendments permit a lessee to apply the practical expedient regarding COVID-19-related rent concessions to rent concessions for which any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2022 (rather than only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2021). The adoption of these amendments does not result in significant impacts on REN's consolidated financial statements.
The following standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions have been endorsed by the European Union with mandatory application in future economic exercises:
Amendments to IFRS 3, IAS 16, IAS 37 and Annual Improvements 2018-2020 (new standard to be applied for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022)
These amendments clarify the wording or correct minor consequences, oversights or conflits between requirements in the Standards. Amendments to IFRS 3 update a reference in IFRS 3 to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting without changing the accounting requirements for business combinations. Amendments to IAS 16 prohibit a company from deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced while the company is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, a company will recognise such sales proceeds and related cost in profit or loss. Amendments to IAS 37 specify which costs a company includes when assessing whether a contract will be loss-making. Annual Improvements make minor amendments to IFRS 1 - First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments, IAS 41 - Agriculture and the illustrative examples accompanying IFRS 16 - Leases. The future adoption of this standard is not expected to have significant impacts on REN's consolidated financial statements.
The following standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions, with mandatory application in future years, have not, until the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements, been endorsed by the European Union:
| Standard | Applicable for financial years beginning |
Resume |
|---|---|---|
| IFRS 17 - | This standard is intended to replace IFRS 4 and requires that all insurance contracts to be | |
| Insurance Contracts including Amendments to IFRS 17 |
01/jan/23 | accounted for consistently. The amendments are aimed at helping companies implement the Standard and making it easier for them to explain their financial performance. |
| Amendments to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current |
01/jan/23 | These amendments aim to promote consistency in applying the requirements by helping companies determine whether, in the statement of financial position, debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement date should be classified as current (due or potentially due to be settled within one year) or non-current. The amendments include clarifying the classification requirements for debt a company might settle by converting it into equity. The amendments clarify, not change, existing requirements, and so are not expected to affect companies' financial statements significantly. However, they could result in companies reclassifying some liabilities from current to non-current, and vice versa. |
| Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS 2 - Disclosure of Accounting policies |
01/jan/23 | These amendments aim to change the requirements in IAS 1 with regard to disclosure of accounting policies. An entity discloses its material accounting policies, instead of its significant accounting policies, so there are examples and explanations to identify a material accounting policy. The materiality concept is demonstrated in IFRS 2 through the "four-step materiality process". |
| Amendments to IAS 8 - Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates |
01/jan/23 | These amendments clarify the definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are "monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty". Entities develop accounting estimates if accounting policies require items in financial statements to be measured in a way that involves measurement uncertainty. A change in accounting estimate that results from new information or new developments is not the correction of an error. In addition, the effects of a change of this type used to develop an accounting estimate are changes in accounting estimates if they do not result from the correction of prior period errors. |
| Amendments to IAS 12 - Income Taxes: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction |
01/jan/23 | The main change in these amendments is an exemption from the initial recognition exemption. Accordingly, the initial recognition exemption does not apply to transactions in which equal amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences arise on initial recognition. |
These standards and interpretations were not yet endorsed by the European Union and consequently REN has not adopted them on the 30 September 2021 consolidated financial statements.
The REN Group is organised in two main business segments, Electricity and Gas and one secondary segment. The electricity segment includes the transmission of electricity in very high voltage, overall management of the public electricity system and management of the power purchase agreements (PPA) not terminated at 30 June 2007, the pilot zone for electricity production from sea wave and the transmission and transportation of electricity in Chile. The gas segment includes high pressure gas transmission and overall management of the national natural gas supply system, as well as the operation of regasification at the LNG Terminal, the distribution of natural gas in low and medium pressure and the underground storage of natural gas.
Although the activities of the LNG Terminal and underground storage can be seen as separate from the transport of gas and overall management of the national natural gas supply system, since these operations provide services to the same users and they are complementary services, it was considered that it is subject to the same risks and benefits.
The telecommunications segment is presented separately although it does not qualify for disclosure.

Counterparties to derivative contracts are international financial institutions with a solid credit rating and first-rate national institutions.
For the purpose of the effectiveness tests of the designated hedging relationships, REN applies the "Dollar offset method" and the linear regression statistical method as methodologies. The effectiveness ratio is given by comparing the changes in fair value of the hedging instrument with the changes in fair value of the hedged item (or hypothetical derivative instrument simulating the conditions of the hedged item).
For the purpose of calculating ineffectiveness, the total change in fair value of the hedging instruments is considered.

During the second quarter of 2021, the Group hedged the exchange risk of sales denominated in Chilean Pesos by Transemel, in a total amount of 7,950,000 thousand Chilean Pesos (CLP), by contracting a structure of thirty monthly non deliverable forwards on the monthly average of the EUR/CLP exchange with maturity between 2021 and 2023.
As of 30 September 2021, the Group has a total of twenty-seven active non-deliverable forward contracts denominated as cash flow hedge instruments in the global amount of 8,214 thousand Euros. The hedged risk is the foreign exchange exposure of sales made in CLP upon consolidation of the Group's entity, Transemel. Credit risk is not being hedged.
The fair value of the non-deliverable forward at 30 September 2021 is positive 949 thousand Euros.
The amount recognised in reserves, relating to the cash flow hedges referred to above, as at 30 September 2021, is 964 thousand Euros. Additionally, an amount of 15 thousand Euros was recorded in the income statement as a cost of hedging, corresponding to the forward points of the hedging instruments that are not designated as part of the hedging relationship.
1 The currency effect of the underlying (loan), in the period ended 30 September 2021, was favorable in the amount of 1,939 thousand Euros, and was offset, in the same amount, by the unfavourable effect of the hedging instrument in the income statement for the year (as of 30 September 2020 was favorable in 1,206 thousand Euros).
2 The ineffective cash flow hedge component of the exchange rate risk recognised in the income statement, was negative 2,512 thousand Euros which was offset by the effect of the trading derivative negotiated in positive 909 thousand Euros (as of 30 September 2020 it was positive 1,491 thousand Euros against negative 138 thousand Euros of the effect of the trading derivative). Therefore, the net effect on the income statement for the nine-month period ended on 30 September 2021 amounted to negative 1,603 thousand Euros (as of 30 September 2020 was positive 1,353 thousand Euros).

The Group negotiated an interest rate swap, with a starting date in 2019 and maturity in 2024, which pays fixed rate and receives variable rate. This instrument, although not designated as hedge accounting considering IFRS 9 criteria, is currently hedging the effect of the ineffectiveness of the cash flow hedge of the interest and exchange rate risks of the bond issue in Yen, relative to the fluctuation of interest rates for the hedging period (see Cash Flow Hedge – Interest and Exchange Rate Swaps).
The notional amount of this trading derivative is 60,000 thousand Euros as of 30 September 2021 (at 31 December 2020 it was 60,000 thousand Euros). Credit risk is not being hedged. The fair value of the trading derivative, on 30 September 2021, is negative 2,514 thousand Euros (on 31 December 2020 it was negative 3,196 thousand Euros).
Changes in the fair value of the trading derivative are recorded directly in the income statement. The impact in the income statement, as of 30 September 2021, related to the effect of the fair value of the trading derivative was positive 909 thousand Euros (as of 31 December 2020 it was 16 thousand Euros negative).

Law No. 83-C / 2013 of 31 December introduced a specific contribution of entities operating in the energy sector, called Extraordinary Contribution over the Energy Sector ("ECES"), that was extended by Law 82-B / 2014 , of 31 December, Law 7-A / 2016, of 30 March, Law 114/2017, of 29 December, Law 71/2018, 31 December, Law 2/2020, of 31 March and Law 75- B/2020, of 31 December.
The regime introduced is aimed at financing mechanisms that promote systemic sustainability of the sector through the setting up of a fund with the main objective of reducing the tariff deficit. The entities subject to this regime are, among others, entities that are dealers of transport activities or distribution of electricity and natural gas.
The calculation of the ECES is levied on the value of the assets with reference to the first day of the financial year 2021 (1 January 2021) that include cumulatively, the tangible fixed assets, intangible assets, with the exception of industrial property elements, and financial assets related with regulated activities. In the case of regulated activities, the ECES is levied on the value of regulated assets (i.e. the amount recognized by ERSE in the calculation of the allowed income with reference to 1 January 2021) if it is greater than the value of those assets, over which the rate of 0.85% is applied.
To the extent that it is a present obligation whose facts originating already occurred, with timing and amounts certain or ascertainable, REN recorded liabilities in the amount of 27,095 thousand Euros (Note 19) (for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2020 was 28,347 thousand Euros) against a cost in the statement of profit and loss.
The ECES line of the income statement, amounting to 27,070 thousand Euros (28,165 thousand Euros at 30 September 2020) for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021 includes the amount of 25 thousand Euros (negative) (in the ninemonth period ended 30 September 2020 included the negative amount of 182 thousand Euros), related to the regularization of CESE from previous years.
Earnings per share were calculated as follows:

| Sep 2021 | Sep 2020 | ||

Tejo Energia - Produção e Distribuição de Energia Eléctrica, SA ("Tejo Energia") and Turbogás - Produtora Energética S.A. ("Turbogás") has announced to REN - Rede Eléctrica Nacional, SA ("REN Eléctrica") and REN Trading SA ("REN Trading") its intention to renegotiate the Energy Acquisition Agreement (CAE), in order to reflect in the amounts payable to this producer the costs, which in its opinion would be due, incurred with (i) financing of the social tariff and (ii) with the tax on petroleum products and energy and with the rate of carbon. They also recently expressed their intention to renegotiate the CAE, so as to reflect the amounts to be paid for the costs incurred with the financing of ECES.
According to the CAE, Tejo Energia and Turbogás act as producers and sellers and REN Trading as purchaser of the energy produced in power plants. REN Eléctrica is jointly and severally liable with REN Trading, regarding the execution of the CAE with Tejo Energia and Turbogás. According to the information received, the total costs incurred by these companies until 30 September 2021 amounts to, approximately, 66 million Euros.
The processes brought by Tejo Energia regarding the financing of the social tariff and the tax on oil and energy products/carbon tax were already considered by the financial panels provided for in the CAE, which rejected the requests made by the plaintiffs. These two disputes were subsequently the subject of arbitration requests filed by Tejo Energia with the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), pending the outcome of the proceedings.
The lawsuit brought by Turbogás relating to the financing of the social tariff was the subject of an arbitration decision, the court rejecting Turbogás' claim. The process brought by Turbogás regarding the tax on petroleum and energy products/carbon tax was already considered by the financial panel provided for in the CAE's, which rejected the requests made by the plaintiff.
