CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023

(figures expressed in millions of US$)

  • At the end of the fourth quarter of 2023, Enel Américas continues to make significant progress toward the sale of all its operating subsidiaries in Peru, in the different businesses where the Group is present. This situation means that considering the guidelines established in international accounting regulations, the after-tax earnings of all these subsidiaries are presented, in comparative terms, as a single amount in the consolidated income statements of Enel Américas as discontinued operations1.
  • In the fourth quarter of 2023, revenues reached US$ 3,080 million, representing a 16.7% decrease compared to the same period of the previous year. This is explained by changes in the scope of consolidation, mainly accounted for by the fact that in 2023, the results of Enel Generación Fortaleza, Enel Distribución Goiás, Costanera, and Central Dock Sud were no longer consolidated in the same way as the concession of transmission assets operated by Enel CIEN was not renewed. These assets were transferred to the new operator, and additionally, in 2022, an extraordinary income was recognized in Edesur for US$ 220 million as a result of the renegotiation of debts with CAMMESA. Excluding the effects of changes in the scope of consolidation and extraordinary income in Argentina, revenues would have increased by 2.5%, mainly explained by higher revenues at Enel Colombia.
  • Cumulatively, up to December, revenues reached US$ 12,888 million, a 9.2% decrease compared to 2022, also explained by the effect of perimeter consolidation.
  • EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2023 reached US$ 849 million, representing a 31.5% drop compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. This decrease is explained by the consolidation perimeter effect abovementioned and mainly by an extraordinary effect recognized in 2022 related to the agreement signed between Edesur, the National Energy Secretariat, and ENRE that established a debt write-off with CAMMESA for US$ 220 million. Excluding the perimeter effect and Edesur's one-off, EBITDA would have fallen by 9.9%. The exchange rate had a positive impact in this period thanks to the appreciation of the real and the Colombian peso. If we also isolate this effect, EBITDA would have fallen by 12.9%. This decrease is mainly explained by lower results in the generation business in Colombia and distribution in Brazil.

  • Operating income (EBIT) for the fourth quarter reached US$ 390 million, representing a 32.1% decrease compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. This is explained by lower EBITDA partially offset by lower impairment losses due to impairment booked in 2022 as a result of the sale of assets, especially by Enel Distribución Goiás. On a cumulative basis, EBIT increased by 45.6% to US$ 2,387 million.
  • Net income attributable to Enel Américas shareholders reached US$ 82 million in the fourth quarter, representing a 38.6% improvement compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. This is explained by the negative impact recorded in the fourth quarter of 2022 as a result of the sale of assets, especially Enel Distribución Goiás.
  • In cumulative terms, Net Income reached US$ 864 million, which compares with a negative result of US$ 44 million recorded in 2022, also affected by impairment losses associated with asset sales.
  • Net financial debt, considering available-for-sale assets and liabilities, reached US$ 7,408 million, representing a 7.9% increase compared to the end of 2022, mainly explained by higher debt at Enel Colombia and Enel Américas Holding, partially offset by lower debt at Enel Brasil and Enel Distribución Río. Excluding available- for-sale assets and liabilities, net debt reached US$ 6,543 million, 4.7% higher than at the end of 2022 under the same criteria.
  • CAPEX in the fourth quarter of 2023, including incurred by companies classified as available-for-sale, reached US$ 804 million, representing a 43% decrease compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, explained by lower investments in the generation business in Brazil, Colombia and Peru and the change in perimeter compared to the previous year as a result of the sale of Enel Distribución Goias. Excluding investments classified as available-for-sale, CAPEX reached US$ 716 million.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023

Relevant Information for the analysis of these financial statements

  1. Changes in the consolidation perimeter due to Enel Américas Group's corporate simplification

At the end of 2023, Enel Américas reported its strategic plan for the 2024-2026 period, in which was confirmed the Group's corporate simplification that the Group has been executing and which was announced in the strategic plan 2023-2025, in November 2022. This plan considers concentrating operations in those countries that allow the acceleration of the energy transition process in the region, being the main objective the conclusion of the disposal process of the in Peru and continue with the analysis of the potential sale od the remaining operations in Argentina.

The sales planned in the 2023-2025 strategic plan would be added to the disposals already completed during 2022 and of the Brazilian subsidiaries Enel Generación Fortaleza and Enel Distribución Goiás.

In November 2023, Enel Américas published its 2024-2026 Strategic Plan, where were ratified the sales of its assets in Argentina and Peru.

The main sales processes that Enel Américas has been carrying out as of 2022 to date are described below:

  1. Sale of Central Geradora Thermoelétrica Fortaleza SA (CGTF) (commercially known as "Enel Generación Fortaleza")

Initiating studies for the potential sale of Enel Generación Fortaleza, a Brazilian subsidiary focused on independent energy production authorized by the Brazilian energy regulator(ANEEL), the Company aims to take the lead in sustainability efforts and prioritize investments in clean energy in 2022.

On June 9, 2022, following the completion of the feasibility study, the Group entered into a sale agreement with the ENEVA S.A. Group for the sale of 100% of the CGTF shares owned by the subsidiary Enel Brasil. Due to the circumstances mentioned, in the second quarter of 2022, CGTF's assets and liabilities were reclassified as available for sale, with the former being measured by the lower of their book value and fair value. This entailed identifying an impairment loss of BRL 395 million, which is equal to US$ 77 million, in the second quarter of 2022.

Following the successful completion of all requirements, the deal with ENEVA S.A. was finalized on August 23, 2022. In exchange for the sale of the shares issued by CGTF, Enel Brasil's subsidiary received a payment of BRL 490 million, which is equivalent to US$ 96 million. This led to a loss of US$ 131 million on the sale, with US$ 94 million attributed to conversion differences accumulated during the consolidation process of CGTF in Enel Américas and that were accumulated in other comprehensive results until the date of the disposal.

  1. Sale of CELG DISTRIBUIÇÃO SA (commercially known as "Enel Distribución Goiás")

On September 23, 2022, our subsidiary Enel Brasil signed a share purchase agreement with Equatorial Participações e Investimentos S.A., a subsidiary of Equatorial Energia S.A. (collectively "Equatorial"), through

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023

which, and subject to meeting certain conditions precedent, Enel Brasil would dispose of 99.9% of the shares issued by Enel Distribución Goiás, owned by Enel Brasil S.A. (the "Share Purchase Agreement").

Accordingly, during the third quarter of 2022, the assets and liabilities of Enel Distribución Goiás were reclassified as available for sale, adjusting the former to the lower between their book value and fair value. This involved recognizing a US$ 786 million loss due to impairment.

The agreed conditions precedent included authorizations from Brazilian regulatory bodies Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica ("ANEEL") and Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica ("CADE").

By the end of 2022, the conditions precedent established in the Share Purchase Agreement were met. On December 29, 2022, Enel Brasil S.A. completed the sale of 99.9% of the shares issued by Enel Distribución Goiás S.A. to Equatorial. As consideration for the sale of the shares as mentioned above, on that date, Enel Brasil received the payment of BRL 1,513 million, equivalent to US$ 293 million, leading to a US$ 219 million loss on the sale, of which US$ 216 million corresponded to the conversion differences generated in the consolidation process of Enel Distribución Goiás n Enel Américas and which were accumulated in other comprehensive results up to the date of the disposal.

  1. Sale of Enel Generación Costanera and Central Dock Sud

As of December 31, 2022, the Company has been engaged in advanced negotiations aimed at selling its stake in the Argentine subsidiaries that operate the thermal generation business Enel Generación Costanera and Inversora Dock Sud, Central Dock Sud's parent company.

Enel Américas' Management estimates that the sale of its participation in these subsidiaries will very likely take place in 2023.

Considering the preceding paragraphs, pursuant to the provisions of IFRS 5 "Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations" and following the accounting criteria described in note 3.k), at the end of 2022, the Company reclassified the assets and liabilities of Enel Generación Costanera and Inversora Dock Sud as held for sale, measuring the former by the lower between their book value and fair value.

The preceding meant recognizing a US$ 166 million impairment loss in the case of Enel Generación Costanera and a US$ 150 million impairment loss in the case of Inversora Dock Sud.

Subsequently, on February 17, 2023, through its subsidiary Enel Argentina, Enel Américas signed a sale agreement of the Group's 75.7% stake in the thermal generation company Enel Generación Costanera to the energy company Central Puerto S.A. The value of the sale was US$ 48 million, leading to a US$ 85 million loss on the sale recorded during the first quarter of 2023, mainly explained by the conversion differences generated in the consolidation process of Enel Generación Costanera in Enel Américas, accumulated in the comprehensive results as of the date of the disposal.

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023

On the same date, Enel Américas signed an agreement with Central Puerto to sell the Group's 41.2% stake in the thermal generation company Central Dock Sud. The sale was subject to meeting certain conditions precedent, which included the fact that the operation would be carried out only if Central Dock Sud's remaining minority shareholders, both direct and indirect, did not exercise their pre-emptive purchase right.

On March 17, 2023, YPF Luz, YPF's electric power company, notified Enel Américas of its intention to exercise its pre-emptive purchase right of all the shares it owns in Inversora Dock Sud S.A., extending the same intention to the shares that Enel Américas owned in Central Dock Sud S.A. through Enel Argentina. Similarly, on the same date, Pan American Sur S.A. informed Enel Argentina of its intention to exercise its pre-emptive right to purchase the shares it held in Central Dock Sud. The agreement with the minority shareholders of Dock Sud, both direct and indirect, established a total of US$ 52 million as a sale value and was subject to meeting certain conditions precedent.

On April 14, 2023, after meeting the conditions precedent, the sale of the Group's stake in Central Dock Sud was completed. As a result of this operation, the Company registered a US$ 193 million loss corresponding mainly to the conversion differences stemming from the consolidation process of Central Dock Sud in Enel Américas, accumulated in other comprehensive results until the date of completion to be recorded and entirely during the second quarter of the year.

SUMMARY BY BUSINESS

Generation and transmission in continued operations

In the fourth quarter of 2023, EBITDA in the generation and transmission business decreased by 28.0% compared to the same period in 2022, reaching US$ 273 million. This is mainly explained by lower performance in Colombia and Central America as a result of higher energy purchase costs from the poor hydrological situation. We can add to this a lower performance in Brazil and the perimeter effect from the sale of Enel Generación Fortaleza, Enel Generación Costanera, and Central Dock Sud, together with the non-renewal of the concession of the transmission assets operated by Enel CIEN, which together contributed US$ 24 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. Without this effect, EBITDA in the generation business would have fallen by 23.4%.

Considering the cumulative year, EBITDA in the generation business reached US$ 1,527 million, 11.3% less than the same period in 2022, mainly explained by changes in the consolidation scope. Without this effect, EBITDA would have increased by 0.7%.

Energy sales from continued operations fell 12.9% in the quarter, explained by the change in perimeter due to the failure to consolidate Costanera and Central Dock Sud in Argentina. Without the perimeter effect, sales would have fallen by 2.8%. At the same time, power generation from continued operations in the fourth quarter fell by 14.3% compared to the previous year, which is also explained by the perimeter effect. Without this effect, generation would have increased by 4.4%.

Distribution of Continued Operations

In distribution, EBITDA fell 33.1% in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the same period last year, reaching US$ 594 million. This is mainly explained by two factors: The extraordinary effect recognized in 2022 related to the agreement signed between Edesur, the National Energy Secretariat, and ENRE that established the debt writ-off with CAMMESA for US$ 220 million, and the perimeter effect resulting from the sale of Enel Distribución Goiás in 2022, contributing US$ 53 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. If we exclude these effects, EBITDA would have fallen by 3.4%, mainly explained by lower results in the Brazilian distributors, partially offset by a better result in Colombia.

On a cumulative basis, EBITDA decreased by 8.1% in 2023. Excluding the perimeter effect and the one-off effect in Argentina, EBITDA would have increased by 9.8%.

At the end of 2023, the number of consolidated customers from continued operations registered a 419 thousand or 1.9% increase compared to the previous year, reaching 22.2 million.
