1. FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

1.1 RESULTS FOR THE FIRST 6 MONTHS OF 2022

In the first 6 months of 2022, net income reached 45.9 million Euros, a 6.3 million Euros increase (+16.0%) over the same period of the previous year. Net income increased reflecting mainly the following effects: (i) increase of 10.5 million Euros in the Group EBITDA (+6.5 million Euros in EBIT), and (ii) the increase of 3.0 million Euros in financial results (+16.5%), partially offset by (iii) the increase of 0.9 million Euros in the Extraordinary Levy on the Energy Sector (+3.5%).

The following events are also worth of note:

  • Similarly to the previous years, the results for 2022 reflect the continuation of the Extraordinary Levy on the Energy Sector (28.0 million Euros in 2022 and 27.1 million Euros in 2021).
  • For the new regulatory period of the Electricity Sector, which will be in force from 2022 to 2025, the regulator introduced in the Electricity Transmission activity a revenue cap mechanism applied to the total controllable costs (hereinafter referred to as " Totex"), replacing the reference cost incentive model in Capex and revenue cap in Opex, which had been in force since 2009. In accordance with this new model based on Totex, REN is remunerated at a fixed annual amount defined by the regulator for the entire regulatory period from 2022 to 2025, which aims to remunerate the company's operating costs (Opex) and cost of capital (Capex), this amount being updated annually in accordance with defined cost drivers and an annual efficiency factor.

Investment was 78.8 million Euros, a 0.7% y.o.y decrease (-0.6 million Euros) and transfers to RAB increased 5.2 million Euros (+30.6%) to 22.0 million Euros. Average RAB increased by 87.4 million Euros (+2.5%), to 3,602.6 million Euros.

The average cost of debt was 1.7%, an increase of 0.1 p.p. over the previous year, and net debt reached 2,099.4 million Euros, a 17.3% decrease (-440.5 million Euros) over the same period of the previous year.

1 In 2022, a new regulatory period entered in force in the Electricity Sector, introducing a remuneration model based on Totex for the Electricity Transmission activity. Therefore, for comparability purposes, the 2021 values of the regulated revenue items of "RAB Remuneration", "Recovery of amortizations (net of investment subsidies)" and "Revenues from Opex " of the Electricity Transmission activity were reclassified to the item "Revenues from Totex".

2 The values presented in 2021 correspond to the Incentive for rationalization of economic investments, which was the incentive in force until December 31, 2021, having been replaced in 2022 by the Incentive for improvement of the TSO's technical performance with the new regulatory period for 2022-2025 for the electricity sector.

3 Includes training and seminars costs.

The increase in EBITDA resulted mainly from:

  • The increase in Electricity Transmission Activity regulated revenues (+12.0 million Euros), with the introduction of the new Totex remuneration model. The rate of return of asset Electricity Transmission, was 4.7% in June of 2022, which compares to 4.5% in the same period of the previous year. The regulated revenues recorded with the new Totex model correspond to an annual fixed rent defined by the regulator, which results from an equivalent annual rent over the estimated revenues for the 2022-2025 regulatory period, thus explaining the increase over the previous year;
  • The increase of 1.1 million Euros (+2.5%) in the recovery of amortizations, reflecting the evolution of the gross asset base;
  • The increase of 3.3 million Euros in RAB remuneration 1 (+10.0%) arising from:
    • o Increase of 1.6 million Euros in the remuneration of natural gas transmission regulated assets reflecting the increase in the rate of return from 4.5% in June 2021 to 5.0% in June 2022 – as a result of the positive evolution of the yields of the Portuguese Republic 10Y Treasury Bills; partially offset by the reduction of 27.2 million Euros (-3.0%) in natural gas transmission average RAB;
    • o Increase of 1.5 million Euros in the remuneration of natural gas distribution regulated assets, reflecting (i) the increase in the rate of return from 4.7% in June 2021 to 5.2% in June 2022 – as a result of the positive evolution of the yields of the Portuguese Republic 10Y Treasury Bills, and (ii) the increase of 11.0 million Euros in natural gas distribution average RAB (+2.3%).
  • The reduction of 0.5 million Euros (-0.7%) mainly explained by the decrease of 2.8 million Euros in pass-through costs (costs accepted in the tariff). Excluding these costs, core opex increase 2.3 million Euros reflecting essentially the growth in costs with LNG Terminal electricity. Personnel costs increase of 0.5 million Euros (+1.9%).

These effects were partially offset by:

The reduction of 9.7 million Euros in the Incentive for improvement of the TSO's technical performance, reflecting the introduction of these new incentive with the new electricity regulatory period started in 2022, which replaced the previous Incentive to the rationalization of economic investments.

With respect to domestic business, it is also important to note that the natural gas distribution business contributed with EBITDA of 25.1 million Euros.

International Business

The EBITDA for international businesses reached 9.7 million Euros in the first 6 months of 2022, a 3.7 million Euros (+60.4%) increase over the same period of the previous year, resulting mainly from:

  • EBITDA of Transemel an electrical power transmission company in Chile was 5.0 million Euros, a y.o.y. increase of 1.8 million Euros (+57.1%) reflecting essentially the increase of 1.6 million Euros in revenues from the transmission of electricity (+34.2%);
  • The increase of 1.9 million Euros (+64.7%) in the recognized income from the 42.5% stake held by REN in the Chilean company Electrogas.

There were no changes to the consolidation perimeter in 2021 compared to that reported on 31 December 2020.

1.2. Approval of the consolidated financial statements

These interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors at a meeting held on 28 July 2022. 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).

2 BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ended 30 June 2022 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 2021.

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 June 2022, current liabilities in the amount of 1,455,429 thousand Euros are greater than current assets, which total 909,908 thousand Euros.

However, in addition to the consolidated results and cash flows estimated for the following twelve months, the Group has, as of 30 June 2022, credit lines in the form of commercial paper available for use in the amount of 1,615,000 thousands Euros (Note 16). Additionally, the Group has, as of 30 June 2022, 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 large-scale military invasion that Russia carried out against Ukraine, on February 24, 2022, 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, as well as the pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus, has activated all the necessary plans and, despite the situation being 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 Russian invasion of Ukraine as well as the pandemic.

On 15 December 2021, ERSE published the document "Tariffs and prices for electricity and other services in 2022 and parameters for the 2022-2025 regulation period" to be in force in Portugal. In accordance with this new Tariff Regulation applicable to REN Eléctrica's Electricity Transmission Activity, the REN Group calculates, on each reporting date and in accordance with the criteria defined by ERSE, the tariff deviations between the revenue allowed published by ERSE, recalculated based on the real values of the cost drivers, and the revenue invoiced.

The total amount of revenue recognised in the income statement will correspond to the annual value defined by ERSE for the 2022-2025 period, updated according to the application of the real values of the drivers and the annual efficiency factor.

In accordance with the tariff regulation, since 2022, a mechanism for sharing gains and losses between companies and consumers has been applied to this activity. This sharing of gains or losses is only calculated one year after the end of the regulation period to which it applies. In this way, contingent assets or liabilities may be identified in cases where it is possible to assess with some degree of certainty the future materialization of these gains or losses, regardless of the moment of their final calculation only taking place in the future.

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 2021 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.

3 MAIN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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 2022.

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 2021, as explained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for 2021, except for the adoption of new effective standards for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022.

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 six-month period ended on 30 June 2022 and compared to the year ended on 31 December 2021.

Adoption of new standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions

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 2022:

Amendments to IFRS 3, IAS 16, IAS 37 and Annual Improvements 2018-2020

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 adoption of this standard 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:

IFRS 17 – Insurance Contracts: Initial Application of IFRS 17 (new standard to be applied for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023)

IFRS 17 replaces IFRS 4 – "Insurance contracts", the standard that has been in force on an interim basis since 2004. IFRS 17 is applicable to all entities that issue insurance contracts, reinsurance contracts and investment contracts with participation characteristics discretionary. The amendments to IFRS 17 are intended to assist companies in implementing the Standard and to facilitate the explanation of their financial performance. The future adoption of this standard is not expected to have significant impacts on REN's consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 – Disclosure of Accounting policies (new standard to be applied for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023)

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 Practice Statement 2 through the "four-step materiality process". The future adoption of this standard is not expected to have significant impacts on REN's consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 8 – Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Erros: Definition of Accounting Estimates (new standard to be applied for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023)

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. The future adoption of this standard is not expected to have significant impacts on REN's consolidated financial statements.

Standards and interpretations, amended or revised, not endorsed by the European Union

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
Amendments to IAS 1 -
Presentation of Financial Statements:
Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current
1)
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 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.
Amendments to IFRS 17 -
Insurance Contracts: Initial Application of IFRS 17
and Amendments to IFRS 9 –
Comparative Information
01/jan/23 The amendment is a transition option relating to comparative information about financial
assets presented on initial application of IFRS 17. The amendment is aimed at helping entities
to avoid temporary accounting mismatches between financial assets and insurance contract
liabilities, and therefore improve the usefulness of comparative information for users of
financial statements.

1) The effective date of this amendment is under review and may be changed to 01/01/2024.

These standards and interpretations were not yet endorsed by the European Union and consequently REN has not adopted them on the 30 June 2022 consolidated financial statements.

4 SEGMENT REPORTING

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.

The results by segment for the six-month period ended 30 June 2022 were as follows:

Loans obtained, as referred to in Note 3.6 to the annual consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2021, are measured, initially at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost, except for those which it has been contracted derivative fair value hedges (Note 12) which are measured at fair value. Nevertheless, REN proceeds to the disclosure of the fair value of the caption Borrowings, based on a set of relevant observable data, which fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of borrowings and derivatives are calculated by the method of discounted cash flows, using the curve of interest rate on the date of the statement of financial position in accordance with the characteristics of each loan.

The range of market rates used to calculate the fair value ranges between -0.568% and 2.167% (maturities of one week and ten years, respectively).

The fair value of borrowings contracted by the Group at 30 June 2022 is 2,558,331 thousand Euros (at 31 December 2021 was 2,862,725 thousand Euros), of which 553,086 thousand Euros are recorded partly at amortized cost and includes an element of fair value resulting from movements in interest rates (at 31 December 2021 was 601,546 thousand Euros).

Estimated fair value – assets measured at fair value

The following table presents the Group's assets and liabilities measured at fair value at 30 June 2022 in accordance with the following hierarchy levels of fair value:

  • Level 1: the fair value of financial instruments is based on net market prices as of the date of the statement of financial position;
  • Level 2: the fair value of financial instruments is not determined based on active market quotes but using valuation models. The main inputs of the models are observable in the market, in relation to derivative finantial instruments;
  • Level 3: the fair value of financial instruments is not determined based on active market quotes, but using valuation models, whose main inputs are not observable in the market.

During the six-month period ended 30 June 2022, there was no transfer of financial assets and liabilities between fair value hierarchy levels.

The valuation of the derivative financial instruments portfolio is based on fair value valuations performed by specialized external entities.

The amount recognized in this item refers to:

  • eleven interest rate swap contracts negotiated by REN SGPS to hedge the interest rate fluctuation risk;
  • a cross currency and interest rate swap contract negotiated by REN SGPS to hedge the exchange rate fluctuation risk;
  • a non deliverable forward contract negotiated by REN Serviços in order to hedge the exchange risk of exposure to the Chilean Peso of sales denominated in the same currency by Transemel.

Counterparties to derivative contracts are international financial institutions with a solid credit rating and first-rate national institutions.

For the purpose of the effectiveness testing 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.

The disclosed amount includes receivable or payable accrued interest, at 30 June 2022 related to these financial instruments, in the net amount receivable of 1,242 thousand Euros (at 31 December 2021 it was 2,199 thousand Euros receivable).

The characteristics of the derivative financial instruments negotiated at 30 June 2022 and 31 December 2021 were as follows:

Swaps:

Cash Flow Hedge - Interest Rate Swaps

The Group hedges the interest rate risk associated with the fluctuation of the market interest rate index (Euribor) on a portion of future debt interest payments through the designation of interest rate swaps, in order to transform floating rate payments into fixed rate payments.

At 30 June 2022, the Group has a total of six cash flow hedging interest rate swap contracts for a total amount of 900,000 thousand Euros (as of 31 December 2021 it was 900,000 thousand Euros). The hedged risk is the variable rate index associated to the interest payments of the loans. Credit risk is not being hedged.

The fair value of the interest rate swaps, at 30 June 2022, is positive 44,052 thousand Euros (at 31 December 2021 it was negative 11,809 thousand Euros).

Four of the above mentioned contracts in a total amount of 600,000 thousand Euros (at 31 December 2021 it was 600,000 thousand Euros) are designated to hedge an aggregated exposure composed by the net effect of floating rate debt and interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedging instruments.

The amount recognised in reserves, relating to the cash flow hedges referred to above, was 44,189 thousand Euros (at 31 December 2021 it was 11,617 thousand Euros).

The hedged instruments of cash flow hedging relationships present the following conditions:

1 This hedged instrument is designated jointly with derivatives of fair value hedging amounting to 300,000 thousand Euros (see conditions on the table above) in an aggregate exposure hedge to Euribor 6 months in the period from 2023 to 2025 and, as such, eligible for cash flow hedge.

Cash Flow Hedge – Exchange rates and Interests Swaps

The Group hedged the exchange rate risk of the 10,000 million yen bond issued through a cross currency swap with the main characteristics similar to the bond with regard to exchange rate risk. Credit risk is not hedged.

The fair value of the cross currency swap at 30 June 2022 is negative 1,238 thousand Euros (at 31 December 2021 it was positive 5,342 thousand Euros).

Changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument are also being recognized in equity hedging reserves, with exception of:

  • the offsetting of the exchange rate effect of the spot revaluation of the hedged item (bond issue in yen) at each reference date, arising from the hedging of the exchange rate risk 1 ;
  • the ineffective component of the hedge arising from the accounting designation made (REN contracted a trading derivative to economically hedge this ineffectiveness - see Trading Derivative) 2 . This ineffectiveness is caused by the change in the interest profile of the hedging instrument, which pays a variable rate in the period from 2019 to 2024.

Cash Flow Hedge – Non Deliverable forward

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 June 2022, the Group has a total of eighteen active non-deliverable forward contracts denominated as cash flow hedge instruments in the global amount of 5,438 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 June 2022 is positive 758 thousand Euros (at 31 December 2021 it was positive 1,061 thousand Euros).

The amount recognised in reserves, relating to the cash flow hedges referred to above, as at 30 June 2022, is 823 thousand Euros. Additionally, an amount of 36 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.

The instrument covered by the cash flow hedge ratio corresponds to a proportion of total sales denominated in CLP, corresponding to a monthly sales amount of 265,000 thousand Chilean Pesos.

2 The ineffective cash flow hedge component of the exchange rate risk recognised in the income statement, was negative 2,650 thousand Euros which was offset by the effect of the trading derivative negotiated in positive 2,260 thousand Euros (as of 30 June 2021 it was negative 1.815 thousand Euros against positive 652 thousand Euros of the effect of the trading derivative). Therefore, the net effect on the income statement for the period ended on 30 June 2022 amounted to negative 390 thousand Euros (as of 30 June 2021 was negative 1.164 thousand Euros).

Fair Value Hedge

The Group hedges the interest rate risk associated with the fluctuation of the market interest rate index (Euribor) on the fair value of interest payments on fixed-rate debt by negotiating interest rate swaps where it pays a variable rate and receives a fixed rate in order to convert fixed-rate debt payments into variable-rate payments.

At of 30 June 2022, the Group has a total of four fair value hedging derivative contracts amounting to 600,000 thousand Euros (as of 31 December 2021 it was 600,000 thousand Euros). The hedged risk corresponds to the change in fair value of debt issues attributable to movements in the market interest rate index (Euribor). Credit risk is not being hedged. As of 30 June 2022, the fair value of interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedging instruments was negative 45,087 thousand Euros (as of 31 December 2021 it was positive 3,944 thousand Euros).

Changes in the fair value of hedged items arising from interest rate risk are recognised in the income statement in order to offset changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument, which are also recognised in the income statement.

Trading Derivative

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 June 2022 (at 31 December 2021 it was 60,000 thousand Euros). Credit risk is not being hedged. The fair value of the trading derivative, on 30 June 2022, is positive 441 thousand Euros (on 31 December 2021 it was negative 1,828 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 June 2022, related to the effect of the fair value of the trading derivative was positive 2,260 thousand Euros (as of 30 June 2021 it was 652 thousand Euros positive).

15 RESERVES AND RETAINED EARNINGS

The caption "Reserves" in the amount of 369,397 thousand Euros includes:

  • Legal reserve: The Commercial Company Code in place requires that at least 5% of the net profit must be transferred to this reserve until it has reached 20% of the share capital. This reserve can only be used to cover losses or to increase capital. At 30 June 2022 this caption amounts to 135,702 thousand Euros;
  • Fair value reserve: includes changes in the fair value of available for sale financial assets (51,358 thousand Euros positive), as detailed in Note 10;
  • Hedging reserve: includes changes in the fair value of hedging derivative financial instruments when cash flow hedge is effective (positive 32,505 thousand Euros) as detailed in Note 12; and
  • Other reserves: This caption is changed by (i) application of the results of previous years, being available for distribution to shareholders; except for the limitation set by the Companies Code in respect of own shares (Note 14), (ii) exchange rate changes associated to the financial investment whose functional currency is Dollar; (iii) exchange variation of assets and liabilities of financial investments in subsidiaries, namely the exchange rate effect of converting Chilean Peso to Euro and (iv) changes in equity of associates recorded under the equity method.

27 EXTRAORDINARY CONTRIBUTION OVER THE ENERGY SECTOR

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, Law 75- B/2020, of 31 December and Law 99/2021, 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 2022 (1 January 2022) 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 2022) 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 28,018 thousand Euros (Note 19) (for the six-month period ended 30 June 2021 was 27,070 thousand Euros) against a cost in the statement of profit and loss.

Number of shares in the period (3) 663,309,888 663,309,888

30 CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

30.1. Contingent liabilities

Tejo Energia - Produção e Distribuição de Energia Eléctrica, SA ("Tejo Energia") and Turbogás – Produtora Energética S.A. ("Turbogás") have 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. Also, these two entities stated its intention to renegotiate the CAE, in order to reflect in the amounts payable 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 June 2022 amounts to, approximately, 66 million Euros.

REN Trading and REN Elétrica consider that, with the existing legal framework, this possibility depends on the recognition that the associated charges can be considered as general costs of the national electricity system, the only way to guarantee the economic neutrality of REN Trading's contractual position.

All of these disputes were brought by Tejo Energia and Turbogás and contested by REN Eléctrica and REN Trading, and the outcome is pending resolution.
