In the first 6 months of 2024, net income reached 48.6 million euros, a 14.4 million euros decrease (-22.9%) over the same period of the previous year. Net income decreased reflecting mainly the i) decrease of 7.1 million euros in the Group EBITDA (- 7.8 million euros in EBIT), and ii) the decrease of 11.0 million euros in financial results (-65.7%), partially offset by the decrease of 4.4 million euros in taxes.
Similarly to the previous years, the results for 2024 reflect the continuation of the Extraordinary Levy on the Energy Sector (28.3 million euros in 2024 and 28.1 million euros in 20231 ).

Excluding the effect of tariff deviations, net debt increased 3.8%.

There were no changes to the consolidation perimeter in 2024 compared to that reported on 31 December 2023 and to 30 June 2023.
There were no changes to the consolidation perimeter in 2023 compared to that reported on 31 December 2022.
These interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors at a meeting held on 25 July 2024. 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 six-month period ended 30 June 2024 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 2023.
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.
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.
On the present date, and taking into account the above and Note 5 - Main Estimates and Judgments, disclosed in the annex to the 2023 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.
There were no significant changes in the long-term expectation of recovery of the Group's investments and financial holdings.
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 2024.
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 2023, as explained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for 2023, except for the adoption of new effective standards for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024.
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 2023 and compared to the year ended on 31 December 2023.
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 2024:
These amendments included requirements for seller-lessees to measure the lease liability in a sale and leaseback transaction, in order to not recognizing any gain or loss on the right of use retained. The future adoption of this standard is not expected to have significant impacts on REN's consolidated financial statements.
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, and include clarifying the classification requirements for debt a company might settle by converting it into equity. These 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. The future adoption of this standard is not expected to have significant impacts on REN's consolidated financial statements.
These amendments require companies to make additional disclosures about their supplier financing arrangements. 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 - Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments |
01/jan/26 | The Amendments to IFRS 9 come from the post-implementation review process of the "Classification and measurement" chapter, in which the IASB identified some aspects to clarify for better understanding them. |
| Amendments to IAS 21 - The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability |
01/jan/25 | The Amendments to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates that will require companies to provide more useful information in their financial statements when a currency cannot be exchanged into another currency. |
| IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements |
01/jan/27 | The objective of IFRS 18 is to set out requirements for the presentation and disclosure of information in general purpose financial statements (financial statements) to help ensure they provide relevant information that faithfully represents an entity's assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses. |
| IFRS 19 - Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures |
01/jan/27 | The objective of IFRS 19 is to allow those in charge of the preparation of IFRS financial information without public exposure, but which are group subsidiaries reporting in IFRS and with listed securities, a reduction of the disclosures made while still complying with IFRS. |
These standards have not yet been endorsed by the European Union and, as such, have not been applied by the Group for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024.
The 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 on 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 2024 were as follows:

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 ten interest rate swap contracts negotiated by REN SGPS to hedge the interest rate fluctuation risk.
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.
The disclosed amount includes receivable or payable accrued interest, at 30 June 2024 related to these financial instruments, in the net amount payable of 483 thousand euros (at 31 December 2023 it was 1,591 thousand euros payable).

The Group hedges the interest rate risk associated with the fluctuation of 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
As of 30 June 2024, the Group has a total of four fair value hedging derivative contracts amounting to 600,000 thousand euros (as of 31 December 2023 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 2024, the fair value of interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedging instruments was negative 51,295 thousand euros (as of 31 December 2023 it was negative 52,006 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.

As of 30 June 2024, the change in fair value of the debt related to interest rate risk recognized in the income statement was negative 1,345 thousand euros (at 30 June 2023 it was negative 5,480 thousand euros), resulting in an ineffective component, after considering the effect of the hedged items in the income statement, of approximately negative 97 thousand euros (at 30 June 2023 it was negative 489 thousand euros). The ineffectiveness recognized is related to the effect of the fixed leg spread of the hedging instruments that is not reflected in the hedged item.

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 no. 82-B / 2014, of 31 December, Law no. 7-A / 2016, of 30 March, Law no. 114/2017, of 29 December, Law no. 71/2018, 31 December, Law no. 2/2020, of 31 March, Law no. 75-B/2020, of 31 December, Law no. 99/2021, of 31 December 2021, Law n.º 24-D/2022 of 30 December 2022 and Law no. 82/2023, of 29 December 2023.
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 2024 (1 January 2024) 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 2024) 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 28,516 thousand euros (Note 19) (for the six-month period ended 30 June 2023 was 28,101 thousand euros) against a cost in the statement of profit and loss.
In the six-month period ending on 30 June 2024, the ECES item in the income statement, in the amount of 28,310 thousand euros (28,101 thousand euros on 30 June 2023), includes the amount of 206 thousand euros (positive), regarding to the regularization of ECES from previous years.
Earnings per share were calculated as follows:
| Jun 2024 | Jun 2023 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Consolidated net profit used to calculate earnings per share | (1) | 48,597 | 63,031 |

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 Power Purchase Agreements (PPA), 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, (ii) with the tax on petroleum products and energy and with the rate of carbon, and (iii) for Turbogás the costs incurred with the financing of ECES.
According to the PPA, 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 PPA with Tejo Energia and Turbogás. According to the information received, the total costs incurred by these companies until 30 June 2024 amounts to, approximately, 121.000 thousand 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.
