EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

 

·

Net income attributable to the shareholders of Enel Chile S.A. reached a Ch$ 250,824 million profit as of June 2024, Ch$ 113,743 million more than net income for the first semester of 2023, mainly explained by a more efficient generation mix and greater energy sales, partly offset by lower gas sales during the current year. Quarterly, the Company’s net income for Q2 2024 reached a Ch$ 102,258 million profit, Ch$ 128,983 million more than the Ch$ 26,726 million negative net income booked in Q2 2023.

 

·

Operating revenues increased 8.0% to Ch$ 2,312,352 million as of June 2024 mainly due to greater energy sales in both the Generation and the Distribution and Networks business segments, partially offset by lower gas sales in the Generation business this semester. Similarly, during Q2 2024, operating revenues increased 33.3% to Ch$ 1,259,556 million, also mainly due to greater energy sales, primarily in the Generation business segment.

 

·

Procurement and services costs reached Ch$ 1,583,562 million as of June 2024, 4.6% less than the figure for the first half of 2023, mainly explained by lower fuel consumption costs and gas commercialization costs, both in the Generation business segment. During Q2 2024, procurement and services costs increased 8,3% to Ch$ 889,743 million, mainly explained by greater energy purchase costs in the Distribution and Networks business, and also higher transportation expenses and other services and variable procurement costs in the Generation business.

 

·

As a result of the factors previously mentioned, Enel Chile´s EBITDA increased 74.3% when compared to the first semester of 2023 reaching Ch$ 561,743 million as of June 2024.

·

Financial result went from a Ch$ 47,852 million expense during the first semester of 2023 to a Ch$ 48,579 million expense as of June 2024, mainly explained by higher financial expenses. During Q2 2024, financial result reached a Ch$ 51,672 million expense, which amounts to a Ch$ 20,720 million higher expense when compared to Q2 2023, mainly explained by higher losses from exchange rate differences.

 

·

During the first semester of 2024, Enel Chile, through its subsidiary Enel Green Power Chile (EGP Chile), added 250 MW of net additional capacity by connecting Don Humberto photovoltaic power plant (81 MW) and its energy storage system BESS (67 MW) in the central part of the country, in addition to the battery energy storage systems of El Manzano (67 MW) and La Cabaña 2 (34 MW) power plants.

 

 

BUSINESS SEGMENT SUMMARY

 

Generation

 

·

Net electricity generation amounted to 12,119 GWh as of June 2024, 14.8% more (+1,566 GWh) than the figure for the first half of 2023, mainly due to greater hydroelectric (+2,150 GWh), wind (+196 GWh) and solar (+190 GWh) power dispatch. During Q2 2024, net electricity generation increased 10.6% (+583 GWh) to 6,068 GWh primarily due to greater hydroelectric and wind power generation.

 

·

Physical energy sales increased 13.9% (+2,195 GWh) to 17,985 GWh as of June 2024 when compared to the first semester of 2023, primarily explained by an increase in regulated customer sales and spot market sales. During Q2 2024, physical energy sales increased 15.1% (+1,189 GWh) to 9,079 GWh, mainly due to greater regulated customer sales and also spot market sales.

 

·

Operating revenues as of June 2024 decreased 1.9% to Ch$ 1,674,301 million when compared to June 2023, primarily due to lower gas sales this semester, partially offset by greater energy sales, particularly during Q2 2024. Operating revenues this last quarter increased 22.4% when compared to Q2 2023 to Ch$ 890,557 million, primarily due greater energy sales explained by both greater physical sales and a higher average sales price when expressed in Chilean pesos.

 

·

Procurement and services costs reached a total Ch$ 1,036,863 million as of June 2024, 21.0% less than the same period of 2023 mainly due to lower fuel consumption costs, energy purchases, and gas commercialization costs. Likewise, during Q2 2024, procurement and services costs decreased 12.2% to Ch$ 573,761 million, primarily responding to a more efficient generation mix resulting from better hydrology and the commissioning of new power plant projects.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY- ENEL CHILE

 

The Company’s gross financial debt as of June 2024 was US$ 4,750 million, US$ 342 million more than the balance as of December 2023. This variation was mainly explained by the following:

 

-

A total US$640 disbursed between April and June 2023 from various committed credit lines granted by Enel Finance International.

-

Amortization of Enel Generación Chile’s Yankee bond for US$ 400 million in April 2024.

-

Full disbursement by Enel Chile of committed credit line granted by SMBC for US$ 50 million in April 2024.

-

Amortization of the first installment of Enel Chile’s debt with Enel Finance International in June 2024 for approximately US$ 81 million (total loan US$ 644 million approximately).

-

New loan granted by Citibank to Enel Chile and an IRS linked to BCI bank for US$ 286 million in May 2024.

-

Full payment of Enel Chile’s committed credit line with BBVA and Mizuho in June 2024 for US$ 100 million.

-

Enel Chile amortization of a bank loan and related IRS with Santander Bank for US$ 50 million in June 2024.

-

Amortization of Enel Generación Chile’s H and M bonds for US$ 21 million.

-

A US$ 18 million increase in leasing liabilities (IFRS 16).

 

Liquidity available to Enel Chile is composed of the following:

 

-

Cash and cash equivalents : US$ 305 million

-

Undisbursed committed credit lines : US$ 750 million

 

The average cost of Enel Chile’s debt went from 4.9% in December 2023 to 5.0% in June 2024.

 

Hedging and protection:

 

To mitigate the risks associated with exchange rate and interest rate variations, Enel Chile has established policies and procedures to protect its financial statements against the volatility of these variables.

 

Enel Chile’s exchange rate hedging policy states that there should be a balance between the currencies of each company’s operations and the currency of its debt. Therefore, we have cross currency swaps and forward contracts that amount to US$ 231 million and US$ 736 million, respectively.

 

To reduce financial statement volatility caused by interest rate variations, the Enel Chile Group maintains an adequate debt structure balance. Therefore, the Group has interest rate swaps for US$ 286 million.

 

 

INFORMATION RELEVANT TO THE ANALYSIS OF THESE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Regulatory Changes:

 

>

As part of the social agenda announced by the government, the Ministry of Energy published Law 21,185 (hereafter the “Tariff Stabilization Law”) in the Official Gazette on November 2, 2019. This Law creates a Temporary Regulated Customer Tariff Stabilization Mechanism that states that the price to charge regulated customers for electricity from July 1, 2019, through June 31, 2020, is to be equal to the prices in force during the first semester of 2019 (Decree 20T/2018). This stabilized price was named the “Stabilized Regulated Customer Price” PEC (in its Spanish acronym). From January 1, 2021, until the stabilization mechanism is suspended, the prices will be those defined in the tariff setting processes carried out every six months as established in Article 158 of the Electricity Law, but not to exceed the PEC adjusted by inflation according to the Consumer Price Index as of January 1, 2021, using the same date as base (adjusted PEC). The billing differences until 2023 are to be recorded as accounts receivables in favor of generation companies, limited to a maximum US$ 1,350 million. This limit was reached in January 2022. The balance of these accounts receivable is to be recovered, at the latest, by June 31, 2027.

 

On September 14, 2020, the National Energy Commission (“CNE” in its Spanish acronym) published Exempt Resolution 340 that modified the technical provisions regarding the implementation of the Tariff Stabilization Law. This Resolution clarified that the payment to each supplier “must be booked against the Balance in a chronological manner, beginning with the most dated to the most recent pending Balances”, and not weighted based on the total Balance pending payment as it had been interpreted by the industry up to such date.

 

>

On August 2, 2022, Law No. 21,472 was published creating a new Tariff Stabilization Fund and a New Transitional Regulated Customer Tariff Stabilization Mechanism. The Law also established a Customer Protection Mechanism (“MPC” in its Spanish acronym) to pay the difference between the respective regulated supply contract price and the stabilized tariff. The goal was to avoid increasing customers’ electricity bills during 2022 and allow for gradual increases over the next decade. A US$ 1.8 billion transitional fund was created to accumulate the regulated customer price differences and pay electricity generation companies with a Payment Document in US dollar, transferable, subject to price indexation, issued monthly by the Chilean Treasury Department and secured by a state guarantee to expire in June 2032.

 

This fund will be financed with an extra charge billed to final customers based on their level of consumption. Customers whose monthly consumption is less than 350 kWh, and also small companies that consume less than 1,000 kWh are exempt of this additional charge.

 

The fund is managed by Chile’s treasury department, Tesorería General de la República. It will receive a US$ 20 million fiscal contribution every year until its expiration date set on June 31, 2032, in addition to the US$ 15 million contribution made in 2022. The amount accumulated in excess of the US$ 1,350 million fund established in Law No. 21,185 is subject to this new mechanism created by Law No. 21,472.

 

On March 14, 2023, the National Energy Commission published Exempt Resolution 86 that establishes technical provisions regarding the implementation of Law No. 21,472. On August 9, 2023, the CNE issued Exempt Resolution 334 that amends and restates the text of Exempt Resolution No. 86 indicating, among other issues, certain provisions, procedures, terms and conditions to adequately implement such Law.

 

During February 2024, the limit of US$ 1,800 million of accounts receivable from regulated customers established by Law No. 21,472 was reached.

 

>

On April 30, 2024, Law No. 21,667 was enacted in Chile and, among other things, establishes the following:

 

-

Tariffs for regulated customers are allowed to gradually increase reflecting the real costs of energy and capacity and consequently putting an end to the accumulation of debt by power generators.

 

-

Power generators are to recover the balance of debt they accumulated under price stabilization mechanisms PEC and MPC established by Law No. 21,185 and Law No. 21,472, respectively.

 

-

An additional US$ 5,500 million is added to the MPC fund, of which US$ 3,700 million will have a 30% state guarantee. It is to be repaid, at the latest, by December 31, 2035.

 

-

Most vulnerable customers are to benefit from an electricity subsidy to cover tariff increases.

 

Customers that consume over 350 kWh per month are to pay the actual price of energy and capacity as of the publication date of the node price decree for the first semester of 2024 and an additional charge (MPC charge) to repay the debt accumulated by PEC and MPC mechanisms. Customers that consume 350 kWh per month or less are to pay the actual price of energy and capacity as of the publication date of the node price decree for the second semester of 2024 and the additional MPC charge as of the node price decree of the first semester of 2025.

 

 

The sale of Arcadia Generación Solar S.A.:

 

>

The spin-off of Enel Green Power Chile S.A., and the resulting creation of Arcadia Generación Solar S.A., with the same shareholders and the same number of shares as Enel Green Power S.A., became effective on January 1, 2023. The new company received all the assets and liabilities of Carrera Pinto, Pampa Solar Norte, Diego de Almagro and Domeyko solar power plants. On October 24, 2023, the sale of Enel Chile entire 99.99% share of Arcadia Generación Solar S.A. to Sonnedix Chile Arcadia SpA and Sonnedix Chile Arcadia Generación SpA for approximately US$ 556 million became effective.

Regarding quarterly results, Q2 2024 EBITDA for this business segment increased Ch$ 235,304 million when compared to Q2 2023.

 

 

 

The main variables that explain this result are described below:

 

§  Operating revenues amounted to Ch$ 1,674,301 million as of June 30, 2024, which is Ch$ 31,960 million, equivalent to 1.9%, less than the figure as of June 2023, mainly due to the following:

 

>

Lower other sales for Ch$ 171,185 million, mainly explained by: (i) lower profit from commodity hedges for Ch$ 124,270 million mainly related to less transactions due to the lower volume of gas sales; and (ii) lower gas sales for Ch$ 47,086 million.

 

>

Lower other operating revenues for Ch$ 45,172 million, mainly explained by: (i) less additional revenue related to improvements in the commercial terms of energy and fuel supplier contracts for Ch$ 38,327 million carried out during the first half of 2023; (ii) lower revenue from commodity hedges for Ch$ 10,766 million; and (iii) lower revenue due to the reversal of excessive green tax provisions for Ch$ 3,779 million booked in 2023. These effects were partially offset by greater revenue from regasification services for Ch$ 4,310 million.

 

The aforementioned was partially offset by:

 

>

Greater energy sales amounting to Ch$ 184,907 million, mainly explained by: (i) a +2,195 GWh increase in physical sales amounting to Ch$ 183,635 million, explained by greater regulated customer sales (+1,203 GWh), higher spot market sales (+706 GWh) and greater sales to unregulated customers (+286 GWh); and (ii) greater revenues from a higher average sales price when expressed in Chilean pesos for Ch$ 35,940 million. These effects were partially offset by lower revenue from exchange rate hedges for Ch$ 30,571 million.

 

Operating revenues for Q2 2024 reached Ch$ 890,557 million, which represents a Ch$ 163,009 million increase when compared to Q2 2023. This variation is mainly due to the following:

 

>

Greater energy sales amounting to Ch$ 155,236 million, explained by: (i) a +1,189 GWh increase in physical sales amounting to Ch$ 112,966 million (+634 GWh regulated customer sales, +324 GWh spot market sales, and +231 GWh unregulated customer sales); and (ii) greater revenues related to the positive average energy sale price effect when expressed in Chilean pesos for Ch$ 45,071 million. These effects were partially offset by lower revenue from exchange rate hedges for Ch$ 4,560 million.

 

>

Greater other sales for Ch$ 25,860 million, mainly explained by higher gas sales for Ch$ 25,786 million.

 

The aforementioned was partially offset by:

 

>

Lower other operating revenues for Ch$ 17,286 million, mainly explained by: (i) less additional revenue for Ch$ 14,641 million related to improvements in the commercial terms of energy and fuel supplier contracts carried out during the Q2 2023; and (ii) lower revenue due to the reversal of excessive green tax provisions for Ch$ 3,779 million booked in 2023. These effects were partially offset by greater revenue from regasification services for Ch$ 2,798 million.

 

§

Operating costs as of June 30, 2024, reached Ch$ 1,036,863 million, which represents a Ch$ 275,633 million, or 21.0% reduction when compared to June 2023, mainly explained by:

>

Lower energy purchases for Ch$ 67,867 million, primarily due to the lower average purchase price as a consequence of electricity system conditions during the period in spite of the total +629 GWh increase in physical energy purchases (+1,462 GWh more purchases from other power generators, partly offset by -833 GWh less purchases on the spot market).

 

The aforementioned was partially offset by:

 

>

Higher transportation expenses for Ch$ 9,762 million, mainly explained by higher regasification and gas transportation costs for Ch$ 22,838 million, partially offset by a Ch$ 13,076 million reduction in tolls primarily due to lower Tariff Revenue (“IT” in its Spanish acronym) mainly related to lower spot prices.

 

Operating costs for Q2 2024 reached Ch$ 573,761 million, which represents a Ch$ 79,633 million reduction when compared to Q2 2023. This variation is mainly due to the following:

Financial Result

 

The consolidated financial result of Enel Chile as of June 30, 2024, amounted to a Ch$ 48,579 million loss, which represents a Ch$ 727 million negative variation when compared to the Ch$ 47,852 million loss booked during the same period of 2023. During Q2 2024, consolidated financial result amounted to a Ch$ 51,672 million loss, 67.0% higher than the loss booked for Q2 2023.

 

The most relevant variables that explain this result are described the below:

 

Financial income increased Ch$ 15,333 million, mainly explained by: (i) greater interest income for Ch$ 19,702 million on Power Distribution company accounts receivables related to billings that have been pending the issuance of the corresponding tariff decrees; and (ii) greater financial income on customer receivables for Ch$ 2,061 million. These effects were partially offset by lower income on short-term fixed income investments amounting to Ch$ 8,412 million.

 

During Q2 2024, financial income increased Ch$ 1,476 million when compared to the same quarter of 2023, mainly explained by greater interest income for Ch$ 5,375 million on Power Distribution company accounts receivables related to billings that have been pending due to the postponement of the issuance of the corresponding tariff decrees. This were partially compensated by lower income on short-term fixed income investments amounting to Ch$ 3,337 million.

 

Financial expenses increased Ch$ 33,029 million, primarily explained by: (i) higher interest expenses on bonds and bank loans amounting to Ch$ 13,857 million; (ii) greater financial expenses as a consequence of improvements to the supplier payment schedule for Ch$ 7,697 million; (iii) higher financial expenses for Ch$ 9,858 million, related to losses on sales of financial accounts receivables, specifically assets arising from financial leasing contracts entered into by the Company, related to electric mobility projects; and (iv) higher financial expenses with related parties for Ch$ 8,315 million related to greater debt with Enel Finance International (EFI); and (v) a Ch$ 2,725 million increase in bank fees and commissions. These effects were partially offset by a Ch$ 9,001 million reduction in financial expenses related to the Ch$ 7,657 million reduction in accounts receivable factoring transactions, which mainly respond to the issuance of Tariff Stabilization Law No. 21,185.

 

During Q2 2024, financial expenses increased Ch$ 673 million when compared to Q2 2023, explained by: (i) higher financial expenses with related parties for Ch$ 5,677 million resulting from a higher amount of debt with Enel Finance International (EFI); (ii) higher financial expenses as a consequence of improvements to the supplier payment schedule for Ch$ 3,321 million; (iii) higher bank fees and commissions for Ch$ 2,562 million; and (iv) higher interest expenses on bonds and bank loans amounting to Ch$ 2,438 million. These effects were partially offset by: (i) a Ch$ 8,492 million reduction in financial expenses related to the Ch$ 7,657 million reduction in accounts receivable factoring transactions, which mainly respond to the issuance of Tariff Stabilization Law No. 21,185; and (ii) lower financial expenses dure to an increase in interest capitalization for Ch$ 4,563 million.

 

Income related to indexation increased Ch$ 11,991 million, mainly explained by: (i) greater income from indexation of trade accounts receivable for Ch$ 10,808 million primarily, which includes the Ch$ 11,092 million positive effect related to billings to Power Distribution pending the issuance of the respective tariff decrees that have been postponed; (ii) greater positive effects caused by IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” on the branch of our subsidiary Enel Generación Chile located in Argentina for Ch$ 4,697 million; and (iii) greater income from trade accounts payable indexation for Ch$ 1,259 million. These effects were partially offset by lower income from the indexation of recoverable taxes for Ch$ 4,548 million.

 

During Q2 2024, income related to indexation decreased Ch$ 1,687 million when compared to Q2 2023, mainly due to: (i) lower income from indexation of recoverable taxes for Ch$ 5,764 million; and (ii) higher negative effects caused by IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” on the branch of our subsidiary Enel Generación Chile located in Argentina for Ch$ 1,675 million. These effects were partially offset by: (i) greater income from indexation of trade accounts receivable for Ch$ 4,892 million; and (ii) higher income from the other non-financial asset indexation for Ch$ 801 million.

 

Net loss from exchange rate differences decreased Ch$ 4,979 million, mainly explained by: (i) greater positive exchange rate differences on related party trade accounts receivables for Ch$ 289,852 million mainly related to EGP Chile accounts receivables; (ii) higher positive exchange rate differences on trade accounts receivable for Ch$ 203,112 million, of which Ch$ 133,344 million are related to the tariff stabilization mechanisms established by Law No. 21,185, Law No. 21,472, and Law No. 21,667³ that dollarized pending billings to regulated customers; and (iii) greater positive exchange rate differences on other financial and non-financial assets for Ch$ 17,274 million.

Other non-operating results

 

Net income from companies accounted for using the equity method decreased Ch$ 2,540 million as of June 30, 2024, when compared to the figure for the same period of last year, mainly due to: (i) a Ch$ 1,724 million reduction in income from GNL Chile S.A.; (ii) a Ch$ 335 million greater loss from ENEL X Way SpA; and (iii) a Ch$ 314 million higher loss from HIF H2 SpA.

>

The current ratio as of June 30, 2024, reached 1.16 times, a 36.5% positive variation when compared to the figure as of December 31, 2023. This variation is mainly explained by the reduction of current financial liabilities primarily related to the amortization of Enel Generación Chile bonds and Enel Chile bank debt, in addition to an increase in trade accounts receivable.

 

>

Working capital, as of June 30, 2024, amounted to Ch$ 329,940 million, which is a Ch$ 752,887 million positive variation when compared to the negative working capital figure as of December 31, 2023, mainly explained by the effects described above.

 

>

The debt ratio (leverage) was 1.57 times, which is the level of commitment of Enel Chile’s equity during the first half of 2024 compared to 1.49 times as of December 30, 2023.

>

The financial expenses coverage ratio for the period ended June 30, 2024, was 5.54 times, which is the ability to cover all financial expenses with EBITDA.

Total Net Cash Flow	(289,390)	(450,207)	160,817	(35.7%)

 

 

Net cash flow from operating activities reached Ch$ 288,435 million for the period ended June 30, 2024. It includes the following main cash inflows: (i) collections from sales of goods and services amounting to Ch$ 2,698,201 million; and (ii) collections from leasing company assets and then selling such assets for Ch$ 17,164 million. These cash flows were partially offset by the following cash outflows: (i) supplier payments for Ch$ 2,135,235 million; (ii) income tax payments for Ch$ 128,967 million; (iii) employee payments for Ch$ 80,553 million; and (iv) other operational cash disbursements for Ch$ 80,791 million, mainly value added tax payments and other taxes.

 

The Ch$ 332,780 million increase in operating cash inflows when compared to the same period of 2023 is mainly due to lower supplier payments for Ch$ 366,361 million and lower income tax payments for Ch$ 122,843 million. The above was partially compensated by lower cash received from the sale of goods and services for Ch$ 170,346 million.

 

Net cash flow from investing activities amounted to negative Ch$ 425,958 million for the period ended June 30, 2024. These cash flows are mainly comprised of: (i) Ch$ 418,100 million to purchase property, plant, and equipment; and (ii) Ch$ 20,844 million to purchase intangible assets. These cash flows were partially offset by interest payments received amounting to Ch$ 12,556 million.

 

The Ch$ 42,899 million negative variation in the Company’s investment cash flow when compared to June 2023, is mainly explained by lower cash flow from the sale of property, plant, and equipment for Ch$ 28,661 million received during the first semester of 2023 due to the sale of the Santa Rosa Complex (former corporate headquarters of the Group) in addition to greater cash outflows to purchase property, plant, and equipment for Ch$ 25,366 million.

 

Net cash flow from financing activities amounted to negative Ch$ 151,867 million for the period ended June 30, 2024. These cash flows are mainly comprised of the following cash outflows: (i) Enel Generación Chile bond payments for Ch$ 406,759 million; (ii) dividend payments for Ch$ 340,046 million; (iii) bank loan payments to BBVA and Mizuho (US$ 100 million) and Santander Bank (US$ 50 million) for a total Ch$ 141,285 million; (iv) interest payments for Ch$ 91,062 million; and (v) leasing liability payments and other cash outflows for Ch$ 24,950 million. These cash outflows were partially compensated by the following cash inflows: (i) net cash received by Enel Chile from financing provided by EFI for Ch$ 542,608 million; and (ii) new loans for Ch$ 309,627 million granted by Citibank (US$ 286 million) and SMBC (US$ 50 million) to Enel Chile.

 

The Ch$ 129,064 million negative variation in the Company’s financial cash flow when compared to the figure as of June 30, 2023, is mainly explained by greater repayments of bonds and bank loans for Ch$ 527,665 million, partially compensated by greater cash received from loans granted by EFI to Enel Chile for Ch$ 350,492 million.

 

The following table presents the cash disbursements related to additional Property, Plant and Equipment and respective Depreciation for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024, and 2023.

II. MAIN RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ACTIVITY OF ENEL CHILE S.A. GROUP

 

The Group’s activities are subject to a broad set of governmental regulations, and any changes in them could affect their activities, economic situation and operating income.

 

The Group’s operating subsidiaries are subject to a wide range of tariff regulations and other aspects that govern their operations in Chile. Consequently, the introduction of new laws or regulations, or the modification of current laws and regulations, could affect their operations, economic situation and operating results.

 

These new laws or regulations, on occasion, modify regulatory aspects that may affect existing entitlements which, as the case might be, may adversely affect the Group’s future income.

 

The Group’s operations are also subject to wide-ranging environmental regulations that Enel Chile continuously meets. Eventual modifications introduced to such regulations could affect its operations, economic situation and operating income.

 

These regulations, among other things, require the preparation and submission of Environmental Impact Studies for projects under study, obtaining licenses, permits and other mandatory authorizations and complying with all the requirements imposed by such licenses, permits and regulations. Just as with any regulated company, Enel Chile cannot guarantee that:

 

·

Public authorities will approve such environmental impact studies;

·

Public opposition will not lead to delays or modifications to any proposed project;

·

Laws or regulations will not be modified or interpreted in a manner that leads to increased expenses or that might affect the Group’s operations, plants or plans.

 

The Group’s commercial operations have been planned in order to mitigate possible impacts as a result of changing hydrological conditions.

 

The operations of Enel Chile Group include hydroelectric generation, and therefore, depend on actual hydrological conditions throughout a broad geographical area where the Group’s hydroelectric generation facilities are located. Should the hydrological conditions lead to droughts or other conditions that might negatively affect hydroelectric generation business, our results could be adversely affected, which is why Enel Chile has established, as an essential part of its commercial policy, to refrain from contractually committing 100% of its generation capacity. At the same time, the electricity business is also affected by meteorological conditions, such as temperatures, that affect consumption. Our margins may be affected by weather conditions depending on the different climate conditions.

 

The financial situation and the results of our operations may be negatively affected if the exposure to interest rate fluctuations, commodity prices and foreign exchange rates are not effectively managed.

 

RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY

 

The companies of the Enel Chile Group follow the guidelines of the Internal Risk Management Control System (SCIGR) defined at the Holding level (Enel SpA), which establishes the guidelines for risk management through the respective standards, procedures, systems, etc., which are applied at the different levels of the Enel Chile Group Companies, in the processes of identification, analysis, evaluation, treatment, monitoring and communication of risks that the business faces continuously. These are approved by the Board of Directors of Enel SpA, which houses a Controls and Risks Committee, which supports the evaluation and decisions of the Board of Directors of Enel Chile with respect to internal controls and risk management system, as well as those related to the approval of the periodic financial statements.

 

To comply with this, there is a specific Risk Control and Management policy within the Company, which is reviewed and approved each year by the Board of Directors of Enel Chile, observing and applying local requirements in terms of risk culture.

 

The Company seeks protection for all risks that may affect the achievement of business objectives. There is a risk taxonomy for the entire Enel Group, which considers 6 risk macro-categories: financial; strategic; governance and culture; digital technology; compliance; and operational; and 37 risk sub-categories to identify, analyze, assess, treat, monitor and communicate its risks.

 

The Enel Group's risk management system considers three lines of action (defense) to obtain effective and efficient management of risks and controls. Each of these three "lines" plays a distinct role within the broader governance structure of the organization (Business and Internal Controls areas, acting as the first line, Risk Control, acting as the second line and Internal Audit as the third line of defense). Each line of defense has the obligation to inform and keep Senior Management and Directors updated on risk management, with Senior Management being informed by the first and second line of defense and the Board of Directors of Enel Chile in turn, by the second and third line of defense.

 

Within each company of the Group, the risk management process is decentralized. Each manager responsible for the operational process in which the risk originates is also responsible for the treatment and adoption of risk control and mitigation measures.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

Interest rate variations modify the fair value of interest bearing at a fixed rate assets and liabilities, as well as future flows of assets and liabilities indexed at a variable rate of interest.

 

The aim of managing the interest rate risk is to reach a debt structure balance that would enable to minimize debt costs while reducing Income Statement volatility.

 

The debt structure according to interest rate, measured as the percentage of fixed debt and/or protected above total gross debt, is the following:

 

 

ENEL CHILE INTEREST RATE  (%)	June 30, 2024	December 31, 2023
Fixed Interest Rate	76%	88%

 

 

This ratio considers only debt transactions with third parties and with Enel Finance International, if any.

 

Depending on the Group’s estimates and on the objectives of its debt structure, various hedging operations are carried out via contracting derivatives to mitigate such risks.

 

Risk control through specific processes and indicators allows limiting possible adverse financial impacts and, at the same time, optimizes the debt structure with an adequate degree of flexibility.

 

As is public knowledge, the U.S. dollar LIBOR rate (Libor) was discontinued on June 30, 2023, and was replaced by the SOFR reference rate. Enel Chile Group successfully completed the transition from Libor to SOFR of 100% of its financial contracts and derivatives in June 2023, in line with market standards.

 

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

 

Foreign exchange rate risks are primarily inherent to the following transactions:

 

>

Debt contracted by the Group’s companies denominated in currencies than those in which their cash flows are indexed.

>

Payments in currencies other than those in which their cash flows are indexed, for example, payments for material purchases associated to projects and payment of corporate insurance policy premiums.

>

Income of the Group’s companies directly linked to the fluctuation of currencies other than the currency of their own cash flows.

 

In order to mitigate the foreign exchange rate risk, the hedging policy of the Enel Chile aims at maintaining a balance between US$-indexed flows or local currencies flows if they exists, and the level of assets and liabilities denominated in such currency. The aim is to minimize the exposure of cash flows to foreign exchange rate variations.

 

The instruments currently used to comply with the policy are foreign exchange forwards and currency swaps.

 

During the second quarter of 2024, exchange rate risk management continued in the context of complying with the aforementioned risk management policy, without difficulty in accessing the derivatives market. 

 

Commodity Risk

 

The Enel Chile Group is exposed to the risk of price variations of certain commodities, primarily the following:

 

>

Fuel purchases for the process of electricity generation.

>

Purchase and sale of energy carried out in the local market.

 

In order to reduce the risk under extreme drought conditions, the Group has designed a policy that defines sale commitment levels in line with the capacity of its generating facilities during a dry year, by including risk mitigation clauses in some contracts with unregulated clients and, in the case of regulated clients subject to long-term tender processes, by establishing indexing polynomials to reduce commodity exposure.

 

In consideration of the operational conditions Chile is facing in the electricity generation market and the drought and commodity price volatility in international markets, the Company is continuously reviewing the convenience of hedging the impact of these price variations on its net income.

 

As of June 30, 2024, we hold active hedges to be settled in Brent with a total of 173 kbbl related to purchases and without exposure in sales contracts. Regarding gas, at the same date, our hedges to be settled include 2.4 TBtu in purchases and 1.9 TBtu in sales, both related to Henry Hub Future, while there are no outstanding obligations in Henry Hub Swap. Regarding coal, we have 25 kTon in active hedges, all in sales contracts to be settled. At the end of the first quarter of 2024, our Brent hedges settled 224 kbbl in purchases, with no sales exposure. Regarding gas, we have no active hedges outstanding on Henry Hub Swap or Henry Hub Future as of March 31, 2024. Regarding coal, obligations amounted to 33 kTon, all linked to sales contracts to be settled as of March 31, 2024.

 

According to the operating conditions that are updated permanently, these hedges may be amended, or include other commodities.

 

The Group was able to minimize the effects of volatility in commodity prices on the results of the second quarter of 2024 due to the mitigation strategies implemented.

 

Liquidity risk

 

The Group maintains a liquidity policy that consists of contracting long-term credit commitment facilities and temporary financial investments for amounts sufficient to support the forecast needs in a given period which, in turn, is a function of the overall situation and expectations of the debt and capital markets.

 

The above-mentioned forecast needs include maturities of net financial debt, that is to say, net of financial derivatives. 

 

As of June 30, 2024, the liquidity of Enel Chile Group was Ch$ 288,488 million in cash and cash equivalents and Ch$ 708,255 million in in long-term committed credit lines. As of December 31, 2023, the liquidity of Enel Chile Group was Ch$ 563,291 million in cash and cash equivalents and Ch$ 473,645 million in long-term committed credit lines.

 

Credit risk

 

The Enel Chile Group continually monitors in depth all credit risks as described below:

 

Commercial Accounts receivable

 

In relation to the credit risks of accounts receivable from commercial activities in our generation business, this risk has historically been quite limited given that clients cannot accumulate significant amounts due to short collection terms. To that effect, we continuously monitor the credit risk and measure the maximum amounts exposed to payment risk; which, as stated earlier, are quite limited.

 

Regarding the credit risk corresponding to accounts receivable from the commercial activity of electricity distribution business, this risk is historically very limited since the short term of collection from customers means that they do not individually accumulate very significant amounts before the suspension of supply due to non-payment can occur, in accordance with the corresponding regulation. Additionally, there are portfolio monitoring and control measures for all the Company's segments: Corporate, Public Administration and Residential, with exclusive commercial executives available to attend to Corporate and Public Administration customers, in order to mitigate any activity that may put the customer's non-payment at risk.

 

Financial assets

 

Investments of cash surpluses are made with both national and foreign first-class financial entities with limits set for each entity.

 

Investment banks selection considers those with Investment Grade rating, considering the three major international rating agencies (Moody’s, S&P and Fitch).

 

Investments may be guaranteed by treasury bonds of Chile and/or paper issued by first class banks, giving priority to those offering the best returns (always within the current investment policies).

 

Risk Measurement

 

The Enel Chile Group prepares a Value at Risk measurement for its own debt positions and financial derivatives, with the purpose of monitoring the risk taken on by the company, thus circumscribing Income Statement volatility.

 

The portfolio of the positions included for the purposes of calculating the present Value at Risk, is comprised of:

 

>

Financial Debt, excluding the one designated as a hedging instrument.

>

Derivatives for debt hedging.

 

The calculated Value at Risk represents the possible value variation of the above-described positions portfolio within a quarter and with 95% certainty. To that effect, we have studied the volatility of the risk variables that affect the value of the positions portfolio including:

 

>

Exchange rates of the different currencies involved in the calculation, with respect to the Chilean peso.

>

Interest rate of financial expenses.

 

The Value at Risk calculation is based on the extrapolation of future market value scenarios (one quarter out) of the risk variables based on real observations for the same period (quarter) through a 5-year period.

 

The Value at Risk for the next quarter, with 95% confidence level, is calculated as the percentile of the most adverse 5% of the possible quarterly changes.

 

Considering the assumptions described above, the Value at Risk at one quarter out of the foregoing positions corresponds to Ch$ 419,481 million.

 

This value represents the potential increase of the debt and derivatives portfolio, therefore this value at Risk is intrinsically related, amongst other factors, with the value of the portfolio at the end of each quarter.

 

OTHER RISKS

 

As is common practice in bank credit facilities and capital market operations, a portion of our financial debt, is subject to cross-default provisions. If certain non-payments are not corrected, they could result in a cross-default and eventually certain liabilities of Enel Generación Chile, EGP Chile or Enel Chile could become enforceable, as appropriate.

 

In connection with the credit line under New York State law, subscribed in October 2021 and maturing in October 2025, prepayment may occur as a result of the non-payment -after any applicable grace period- of any other debt of Enel Chile whose individual outstanding principal amount exceeds the equivalent of US$150 million and whose amount in default also exceeds the equivalent of US$150 million. In addition, this credit line contains provisions under which certain events other than non-payment, such as Enel Chile's bankruptcy, insolvency, adverse enforceable court judgments in excess of US$ 300 million, among others, could lead to the acceleration of these debts.

 

In connection with the bank loan under Chilean law, signed in December 2021 maturing in December 2026, prepayment may occur as a result of the non-payment - after any applicable grace period - of any other debt of Enel Chile whose individual outstanding principal amount exceeds the equivalent of US$ 150 million and whose amount in arrears also exceeds the equivalent of US$ 150 million. In addition, this loan contains provisions according to which certain events other than non-payment, in Enel Chile, such as bankruptcy, insolvency, adverse enforceable court judgments for an amount greater than US$ 300 million, among others, could result in the declaration of acceleration of the loan.

 

In connection with the bank loan under Italian law, signed in August 2022 and maturing in December 2038, prepayment may occur as a result of the non-payment -after any applicable grace period- of any other debt of Enel Chile whose individual outstanding principal amount exceeds the equivalent of US$ 150 million and whose amount in arrears also exceeds the equivalent of US$ 150 million. In addition, this loan contains provisions according to which certain events other than non-payment, in Enel Chile, Enel SpA or a relevant subsidiary, such as bankruptcy, insolvency, adverse enforceable court judgments, could cause the declaration of acceleration thereof.

 

In connection with the bank loan under English law, signed in May 2024 and maturing in December 2037, prepayment may occur as a result of the non-payment - after any applicable grace period - of any other debt of Enel Chile whose aggregate outstanding principal amount exceeds the equivalent of US$150 million and whose amount in arrears also exceeds the equivalent of US$150 million. In addition, this loan contains provisions according to which certain events other than non-payment, in Enel Chile, Enel SpA, or a relevant subsidiary, such as bankruptcy, insolvency, adverse enforceable court judgments, could cause the declaration of acceleration of this loan.

 

Additionally, non-payment – after any applicable grace period – for any debt of Enel Chile or any of its subsidiaries, with a principal amount that exceeds US$ 150 million, or its equivalent in other currencies, could lead to the mandatory advance payment of its Yankee bonds. The acceleration of the debt due to cross default does not occur automatically but must be demanded by the holders of at least 25% of the bonds of a certain Yankee Bonds series.

 

There are no credit-agreement clauses stating that changes in the corporate or debt rating of Enel Chile or its subsidiaries’ debt, performed by credit-rating agencies, would result in the need to make prepayments of debt.

 

III. BOOK VALUE AND ECONOMIC VALUE OF ASSETS

 

The following are the most important assets:

 

Property, plant, and equipment are valued at their acquisition cost, net of the corresponding accumulated depreciation, and impairment losses. The property, plant, and equipment, net of their residual value, depreciate by distributing the cost of their different components linearly over the years of the estimated useful life of the asset, which is the period in which the companies expect to use them. The estimated useful life of the asset is reviewed periodically.

 

Goodwill (lower value of investments or commercial funds) generated in the consolidation, represents the excess acquisition cost over the Group’s participation in the fair value of assets and liabilities, including contingent liabilities and any non-controlling, identifiable shareholdings in a subsidiary, as of the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized, but at the end of each accounting period an estimation of any impairment that might reduce its recoverable value to an amount below the recorded net cost is calculated, in which case an adjustment is made for the impairment. For additional information see Note 3.e. of the Financial Statements as of June 30, 2024.

 

Throughout the year and, primarily at its closing date, an evaluation is carried out to determine whether any asset might have suffered an impairment loss. In the event that there is an indication of such loss, an estimate of the recoverable value of such asset is made to determine the amount of the impairment. In the case of identifiable assets that do not generate cash flows independently, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs, which is considered to be the smallest group of assets that generate cash inflows independently.

 

Assets denominated in foreign currencies are presented at the exchange rate prevailing at the end of the period.

 

Accounts and notes receivable from related companies are classified according to their maturity in short-term and long-term. Transactions are adjusted to conditions prevailing in the market.

 

In summary, asset values are determined according to the International Financial Reporting Standards, whose criteria are included in Notes No. 2 and 3 of the Financial Statements of Enel Chile as of June 30, 2024.
