THE PERIOD JANUARY-SEPTEMBER 2018

1. Business Trends and Results in the first nine months of 2018.

1.1. Consolidated Results.

ENDESA reported net income of Euros 1.193 million (+10%) in the nine-month period ended 30 September 2018

ENDESA reported net income of Euros 1,193 million in the first nine months of 2018, an increase of 10% from Euros 1,085 million reported in the first nine months of 2017.

The table below presents the distribution of net income amongst ENDESA's businesses during the first nine months of 2018 and its variation compared with the same period in the previous year (see Section 1.4. Segment Information in this Consolidated Management Report):

(1) Structure, Services and Adjustments.

1.2. Changes to Accounting Principles.

Appendix III of this Consolidated Management Report includes the effect on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at 1 January 2018 from the changes as a result of the application of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” and IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”.

As a result of the implementation of IFRS 9 “Financial instruments”, ENDESA has applied an impairment model based on the expected loss method.

As a result of the first application of IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", ENDESA has capitalised under non-current assets the incremental costs of obtaining these contracts with customers that, up to 1 January 2018, had been recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

This asset is depreciated systematically depending on the average expected useful life of the contracts with customers associated with these costs, which, on that date, varies between 1.4 years to 9 years.

With regard to the transition alternative adopted in the first-time application of both standards, ENDESA has opted for retroactive application with the accumulated impact of the initial application at 1 January 2018.

Appendix IV of this Consolidated Management Report includes a breakdown of the impact of the application of IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" and IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2018.

1.3. Analysis of Results.

The table below presents the detail of the most relevant figures in ENDESA's Consolidated Income Statement in the first nine months of 2018 and its variation compared with the same period in the previous year:

Millions of Euros
	Most significant figures
	January - September 2018	January - September 2017	Difference	% Var.
Income	15,353	14,824	529	3.6
Contribution margin	4,271	4,006	265	6.6
EBITDA ₍₁₎	2,791	2,548	243	9.5
EBIT ₍₂₎	1,644	1,476	168	11.4
Net financial gain/(loss)	(106)	(94)	(12)	12.8
Profit/(loss) before tax	1,539	1,394	145	10.4
Net gain/(loss)	1,193	1,085	108	10.0
(1) EBITDA = Income - Procurements and Services + Self-constructed assets - Personnel Expenses - Other Fixed Operating Expenses. (2) EBIT = EBITDA - Depreciation and amortisation, and impairment losses.

EBITDA amounted to Euros 2,791 million (+9.5%) in the first nine months of 2018. To analyse the performance during the period, the following factors must be taken into account:

The decrease in power purchase costs (-2.1%) and fuel consumption (-1.6%) due mainly to lower thermal and nuclear output in the period, despite the increase in the cumulative arithmetic price in the wholesale electricity market (Euros 55.4/MWh; +10.1%).
The Euros 142 million reduction in the expense recognised in January-September 2017 in relation to the Social Bonus in accordance with Order ETU/929/2017, of 28 September 2017, which implements the ruling handed down on the obligation to repay, with a charge to the electricity system, all the amounts paid by ENDESA, S.A. in relation to the Social Bonus in 2015 and 2016.
The variation or Euros 109 million in regulated income from the distribution activity in January-September 2018, according to the methodology defined in Royal Decree 1048/2013, of 27 December 2013.

EBIT in the first nine months of 2018 increased by 11.4% year-on-year to Euros 1,644 million, mainly as a result of the 9.5% increase in EBITDA.

1.3.1. Income.

Income in the nine months of 2018 totalled Euros 15,353 million, Euros 529 million (+3.6%) higher than income posted in the first nine months of the previous year.

The table below presents the detail of income in the first nine months of 2018 and its variation compared with the same period in the previous year:


Millions of Euros
	Income
	January - September 2018 ₍₁₎	January - September 2017 ₍₁₎	Difference	% Var.
Revenue from Sales	14,650	14,449	201	1.4
Other operating income	703	375	328	87.5
TOTAL	15,353	14,824	529	3.6

Market Situation.

In the first nine months of 2018, electricity demand trends were as follows:

Total mainland electricity demand rose by 0.9% year-on-year (+1.1% adjusted for working days and temperature).
The accumulated electricity demand in Non-mainland territories (TNP) closed out the first nine-months of 2018 with a 1.7% increase in the Balearic Islands and a 0.7% decrease in the Canary Islands compared with the same period the previous year (+1.1% and -0.7% respectively, adjusted for the effect of working days and temperature).

January-September 2018 saw higher prices, where the cumulative arithmetic price on the wholesale electricity market was Euros 55.4/MWh (+10.1%) mainly due to the increase in carbon dioxide (CO₂) emission rights and changes in commodity prices.

The cumulative contribution of renewable energies to total mainland production in the period was 39.1% (35.7% in the first nine months of 2017).

In this environment:

ENDESA's mainland electricity production during the first nine months of 2018 was 45,912 GWh, 5.1% lower than the first nine months of the previous year, as detailed: combined cycle plants (3,907 GWh, -33.2%), coal-fired power plants (13,972 GWh, -12.0%), nuclear power plants (18,458 GWh, -7.6%), renewable and cogeneration plants (2,711 GWh, +8.0%) and hydroelectric plants (6,864 GWh, + 63.5%).
Non-mainland Territories (TNP) generation was 9,636 GWh (-2.1%).
Nuclear and renewable technologies, including hydroelectrical, accounted for 50.5% of ENDESA's generation mix, compared with 81.7% for the rest of the sector (45.8% and 77.0% respectively in the first nine months of 2017).

At 30 September 2018, ENDESA held the following electricity market shares:

24.2% in mainland generation.
43.7% in electricity distribution.
33.6% in sale of electricity.

In the first nine months of 2018 conventional gas demand was up by 6.0% year-on-year, and at 30 September 2018 ENDESA had a market share of 16.2% in gas sales to customers in the deregulated market.

Electricity sales to customers on the deregulated market.

At 30 September 2018, ENDESA had 5,670,236 electricity customers in the deregulated market, a 1.4% increase on numbers at 31 December 2017, as per the following breakdown:

4,593,538 (-0.2%) in the Spanish mainland market.
814,051 (+3.4%) in the Non-mainland territories (TNP) market.
262,647 (+28.3%) in deregulated European markets outside Spain.

ENDESA sold a net total of 58,686 GWh to these customers in the first nine months of 2018, a 6.5% decrease on the same period in 2017, as per the following breakdown:

51,332 GWh (-6.1%) in the Spanish deregulated market.
7,354 GWh (-9.4%) in deregulated European markets other than Spain.

In economic terms, sales on the deregulated market in the first nine months of 2018 totalled Euros 7,004 million (-1.8%), with the following breakdown:

Sales in the Spanish deregulated market totalled Euros 6,255 million, Euros 99 million down on the figure for the previous year (-1.6%) due mainly to the lower number of physical units sold.
Revenue from sales to deregulated European markets other than Spain totalled Euros 749 million, down by Euros 31 million (-4.0%) year on year, due mainly to the lower volume of electricity sold in Portugal, Germany and the Netherlands due to changes in the customer mix.

Electricity sales at a regulated price.

In the nine-month period ended 30 September 2018:

ENDESA sold 9,331 GWh to customers via its Supplier of Reference under the regulated price, which is down 3.7% on January-September 2017.
These sales entailed an income of Euros 1,761 million, which is 4.6% lower than the figure in the first nine months of 2017, mainly as a result of the drop in physical units sold.

Gas sales.

At 30 September 2018 ENDESA had 1,594,356 gas customers in the deregulated market, a 2.2% increase on numbers at 31 December 2017:

235,204 (-4.5%) in the regulated market.
1,359,152 (+3.4%) in the deregulated market.

ENDESA sold 61,433 GWh to customers in the natural gas market in the first nine months of 2018, which represents an increase of 4.2% on the 2017 figure.

Revenue from gas sales totalled Euros 1.825 million in the first nine months of 2018, up Euros 228 million (+14.3%) on the figure for the first nine months of 2017, as follows:

Gas sales in the Spanish deregulated market totalled Euros 1,767 million, which is Euros 225 million more than the year-ago figure (+14.6%) due mainly to the higher sales prices.
Revenue from gas sales to customers at regulated prices totalled Euros 58 million, which is Euros 3 million more than the year-ago figure (+5.5%) due mainly to the higher number of physical units sold.

Non-mainland Territories (TNP) Generation Compensations.

Compensations in January-September 2018 for the extra-costs of non-mainland generation totalled Euros 989 million, up by Euros 56 million (+6.0) compared with the same period in the previous year, due mainly to the rise in fuel prices brought about by the evolution of commodity prices.

Electricity Distribution.

ENDESA distributed 88,620 GWh of power in the Spanish market in the first nine months of 2018, a year-on-year decrease of 0.3%.

Revenue from regulated distribution activities in the first nine months of 2018 totalled Euros 1,650 million, up Euros 109 million (+7.1%) on the first nine months of 2017, due mainly to the application of the methodology deriving from Royal Decree 1048/2013, of 27 December 2013.

Other Operating Income.

The table below presents the detail of other operating income in the first nine months of 2018 and its variation compared with the same period in the previous year:

Millions of Euros
	Other operating income
	January - September 2018 ₍₁₎	January - September 2017 ₍₁₎	Difference	% Var.
Changes in fuel stock derivatives	455	120	335	279.2

TOTAL	703	375	328	87.5
(1) See the Consolidated Income Statements for the nine-month periods ended 30 September 2018 and 2017.

In January-September 2018, other operating income amounted to Euros 703 million, an increase of Euros 328 million (+87.5%) over the same period of the previous year, mainly as a result of the increase of Euros 335 million (+279.2%) in income from the valuation and settlement of energy derivatives due to the performance of the valuation and settlement of gas and electricity derivatives that is partly offset by the Euros 173 million increase (+102.4%) in expenses for the same item, recognised under Other Variable Procurements and Services.

1.3.2. Operating Expenses.

Operating expenses in January-September 2018 amounted to Euros 13,854 million, which is 2.7% higher compared to the same period the previous year.

The table below presents the detail of operating expenses in the first nine months of 2018 and its variation compared with the same period in the previous year:


Millions of Euros
	Operating expenses
	January - September 2018 ₍₁₎	January - September 2017 ₍₁₎	Difference	% Var.

TOTAL	13,854	13,496	358	2.7

(1) See the Consolidated Income Statements for the nine-month periods ended 30 September 2018 and 2017.

Procurements and Services (variable costs).

Procurements and services (variable costs) totalled Euros 11,082 million in the first nine months of 2018, 2.4% more than in the same period last year.

The performance of these costs for the first nine months of 2018 was:

Power purchase costs and fuel consumption fell by Euros 105 million (-2.0%) due mainly to lower thermal and nuclear output in the period, despite the increase in the cumulative arithmetic price in the wholesale electricity market (Euros 55.4/MWh; +10.1%).
Other variable procurements and services totalled Euros 1,698 million, up Euros 406 million (+31.4%) year-on-year. This change can be attributed in large part to:
The increase of Euros 173 million (+102.4%) in expenses relating to energy derivatives, offset in part by a Euros 335 million increase in income in this connection (+279.2%), which is recognised under Other operating income, mainly due to changes in the valuation and settlement of gas and electricity derivatives.
The Euros 142 million reduction in the expense recognised in January-September 2017 in relation to the Social Bonus in accordance with Order ETU/929/2017, of 28 September 2017, which implements the ruling handed down on the obligation to repay, with a charge to the electricity system, all the amounts paid by ENDESA, S.A. in relation to the Social Bonus in 2015 and 2016.
The Euros 53 million increase in the cost of CO₂ emission rights, despite the drop in thermal output, as a result of the increase in market prices.
The Euros 50 million decrease as a result of the capitalisation of incremental costs incurred in acquiring customer contracts from 1 January 2018 onwards (see Section 1.2. Changes in Accounting Principles of this Consolidated Management Report).
The Euros 20 million increase in the cost of value added services, as a result of the rise in billing corresponding to this activity (Euros 29 million).

Personnel and other fixed operating expenses (fixed costs).

Fixed costs amounted to Euros 1,625 million in the first nine months of 2018, a year-on-year increase of Euros 19 million (+1.2%).

The table below presents the detail of fixed costs in the first nine months of 2018 and its variation compared with the same period in the previous year:


Millions of Euros
	Fixed costs
	January - September 2018 ₍₁₎	January - September 2017 ₍₁₎	Difference	% Var.
Personnel expenses	704	673	31	4.6
Other fixed operating expenses	921	933	(12)	(1.3)
TOTAL	1,625	1,606	19	1.2
(1) See the Consolidated Income Statements for the nine-month periods ended 30 September 2018 and 2017.

Personnel expenses.

Personnel expenses in January-September 2018 amounted to Euros 704 million, rising by Euros 31 million (+4.6%) compared to the same period the previous year.

In the first nine months of 2018 and 2017 personnel expenses were affected by the development of the update of the provisions for current workforce reduction plans and contract suspension agreements (Euros 3 million and Euros 16 million, both positive, respectively), and provisions allocated to redundancy plans, compensations and other tax and labour risks (Euros 28 million and Euros 2 million, respectively).

Stripping out these two effects, personnel expenses for the first nine months of 2018 would have decreased by Euros 8 million (-1.2%), due mainly to the reduction of the average workforce by 183 employees (-1.9%).

Other fixed operating expenses.

Other fixed operating expenses in January-September 2018 were Euros 921 million, a decrease of Euros 12 million (-1.3%) compared with the same period in the previous year, primarily as a result of the reduction in fines and taxes other than income tax for the amount of Euros 16 million.

Excluding these effects, other fixed operating expenses in the first nine months of 2018 would have increased by Euros 4 million (+0.5%) compared with the same period in the previous year.

Depreciation and amortisation, and impairment losses

The table below presents the detail of depreciation and amortisation, and impairment losses at ENDESA sales in the first nine months of 2018 and its variation compared with the same period in the previous year:

Millions of Euros
	Depreciation and amortisation, and impairment losses
	January - September 2018 ₍₁₎	January - September 2017 ₍₁₎	Difference	% Var.
Provision for the depreciation of property, plant and equipment	909	873	36	4.1
Impairment of property, plant and equipment and investment property	-	(15)	15	N/A
Provision for the amortisation of intangible assets	160	113	47	41.6
Provision for impairment losses on intangible assets	(1)	-	(1)	N/A
Provisions for bad debts and Other	79	101	(22)	(21.8)
TOTAL	1,147	1,072	75	7.0
(1) See the Consolidated Income Statements for the nine-month periods ended 30 September 2018 and 2017.

The following factors must be taken into account when looking at depreciation and amortisation charges for the first nine months of 2018:

The capitalisation, from 1 January 2018, in accordance with IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers, of the incremental costs incurred in the acquisition of customer contracts under Non-current assets on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, andthe impairment of financial assets in accordance with IFRS 9 “Financial instruments”, recognises Euros 48 million increase in depreciation and amortisation costs related to this item (see Section 1.2. Changes in Accounting Principles of this Consolidated Management Report).
During the period January-September 2017, there was also a reversal of losses due to the impairment of tangible fixed assets endowed in previous years on certain plots, amounting to Euros 15 million.

Excluding the effects described in the paragraphs above, depreciation and amortisation and impairment losses in the first nine months of 2018 would have increased by Euros 12 million (+1.1%) compared to the same period in the previous year.

1.3.3. Net financial Gain/(loss).

The net financial result in the first nine months of 2018 and 2017 was negative for the amount of Euros 106 million and Euros 94 million, respectively.

The table below presents the detail of net financial profit/(loss) in the first nine months of 2018 and its variation compared with the same period in the previous year:

Millions of Euros
	Net financial gain/(loss) ₍₁₎
	January - September 2018 ₍₂₎	January - September 2017 ₍₂₎	Difference	% Var.
Financial income	29	39	(10)	(25.6)
Financial expenses	(133)	(135)	2	(1.5)
Net exchange differences	(2)	2	(4)	(200.0)
TOTAL	(106)	(94)	(12)	12.8
(1) Net financial gain/(loss) = Financial income - Financial expense + Net exchange differences. (2) See the Consolidated Income Statements for the nine-month periods ended 30 September 2018 and 2017.

In the first nine months of 2018, net financial expense totalled Euros 104 million, up Euros 8 million (+8.3%) year on year.

In the first nine months of 2018, net exchange differences were negative for the amount of Euros 2 million (Euros 2 million, positive, in the first nine months of 2017).

The following effects should be considered when examining net financial expense:

In both periods there was an update in the provisions associated with the obligations derived from the current workforce reduction plans and contract suspension agreements and the dismantling of facilities, as well as the impairment of financial assets in accordance with IFRS 9 “Financial instruments” (see Section 1.2. Changes in the Accounting Principles of this Consolidated Management Report) for a net amount of Euros 10 million, negative, in the first nine months of 2018 and Euros 2 million, positive, in the first nine months of 2017.
In January-September 2018 additional financial income of Euros 7 million was recognised for financial income associated with the adjustment of interest for financing the deficit of income in regulated activities in Spain in 2013 (see Section 3. Regulatory Framework of this Consolidated Management Report) and in January-September 2017 in relation to the Supreme Court ruling on the enforcement of the judgement filed by ENDESA and with regard to the Social Bonus for the amount of Euros 6 million.

Without considering the impacts described in the previous paragraphs, net financial expense would have decreased by Euros 3 million (-2.9%) due to the combination of the following factors (see Section 4.1. Financial Management of this Consolidated Management Report):

The lower average cost of gross financial debt, which has gone from 2.2% in January-September 2017 to 1.9% in January-September 2018, which has offset;
The increase in average gross debt of both periods, which went from Euros 6,088 million in January-September 2017 to Euros 6,666 million in January-September 2018.

1.3.4. Net Profit/(loss) of Companies Accounted for using the Equity Method.

In the first nine months of 2018, the net result of companies accounted for using the equity method was Euros 28 million compared to Euros 18 million, both positive, in the first nine months of 2017, as follows:

1.3.6. Income Tax.

Income tax totalled Euros 340 million in the first nine months of 2018, a year-on-year increase of Euros 38 million (+12.6%).

The effective tax rate in January-September 2018 was 22.1% (21.7% in January-September 2017).

In the first nine months of 2018, this heading of the Consolidated Income Statement includes an amount of Euros 9 million as a result of the inspection carried out by the Tax Agency in relation to Income Tax for 2011 to 2014.

Without considering the effect described in the previous paragraph, the effective rate for the January-September 2018 period would be 21.5%.

1.3.7. Net Profit/(loss).

Generation and Supply.

The contribution margin in the Generation and Supply segment in the first nine months of 2018 totalled Euros 2,432 million, up Euros 299 million year on year (+14.0%), due mainly to the following factors:

The decrease in power purchase costs (-2.2%) and fuel consumption (-1.6%) due mainly to lower thermal and nuclear output in the period, despite the increase in the cumulative arithmetic price in the wholesale electricity market (Euros 55.4/MWh; +10.1%).
The Euros 162 million increase in income and expenses for the valuation of fuel stocks due to changes in the valuation and settlement of gas and electricity derivatives (see Section 1.3.1. Income and 1.3.2. Operating expenses in this Consolidated Management Report).
The Euros 53 million increase in the cost of carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions rights, despite the drop in thermal output, as a result of the increase in market prices.
The Euros 50 million decrease in costs as a result of the capitalisation of incremental costs under Non-Current Assets of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position incurred in acquiring customer contracts from 1 January 2018 onwards (see Section 1.2. Changes in Accounting Principles of this Consolidated Management Report).

Distribution.

The contribution margin in the Distribution segment in the first nine months of 2018 totalled Euros 1,924 million, up Euros 114 million (+6.3%) year on year, due mainly to the remuneration of the distribution activity.

Structure and Others.

The contribution margin in the Structure and Others segment totalled Euros 85 million, negative, in the first nine months of 2018, down Euros 148 million year on year.

This variation was due mainly to the Euros 142 million reduction in the expense recognised in January-September 2017 in relation to the Social Bonus in accordance with Order ETU/929/2017, of 28 September 2017, which implements the ruling handed down on this subject and confers on the Spanish Markets and Competition Commission ("Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y la Competencia" or CNMC) the obligation to repay all the amounts paid by ENDESA, S.A. in relation to the Social Bonus in 2015 and 2016.

Generation and Supply.

EBITDA for this segment amounted to Euros 1,280 million, (+21.9%) in the first nine months of 2018. The following factors must be taken into account when looking at EBITDA for the first nine months of 2018:

The 14.0% increase in the contribution margin.
The 12.2% increase in personnel expenses, as a result of the increased average workforce during the period (+0.9%) and the development of the update of the provisions for current workforce reduction plans and contract suspension agreements (Euros 5 million, negative, in the first nine months of 2018 and Euros 5 million, positive, in the first nine months of 2017), and the provisioning for redundancy plans, compensations and other tax and labour risks for Euros 34 million in the first nine months of 2018 (Euros 1 million in the first nine months of 2017).

Distribution.

For the first nine months of 2018, EBITDA for this segment was Euros 1,520 million (+9.5%), including:

The positive performance of the contribution margin (+6.3%).
The performance of fixed costs, which were reduced by Euros 24 million as a result of lower personnel expenses (-4.5%), mainly due to the decrease in the average workforce (-3.8%) and the impact of the updated provisions for workforce restructuring (Euros 5 million euros in the period January-September 2018 and Euros 1 million, both positive, in the period January-September 2017), of the application of provisions associated with indemnities and other risks of a fiscal and labour nature by amount of Euros 2 million in the period January-September 2018 (provisioning amounting to Euros 1 million in the period January-September 2017) and the reduction in other fixed operating expenses (-4.5%), mainly due to the Euros 7 million decrease in fines.

Structure and Others.

In the first nine months of 2018, EBITDA for this segment decreased by Euros 119 million and includes:

A change in the contribution margin triggered by the lower expense recognised for the Social Bonus in January-September 2017.
The reduction in personnel expenses due mainly to the reduction of the average workforce (-6.6%) offset in part with the effects of the update of provisions for the ongoing workforce restructuring plans and contract suspension agreements (Euros 3 million in the first nine months of 2018 and Euros 10 million in the first nine months of 2017, both positive) and the application of provisions associated with indemnities and other risks of a fiscal and labour nature by amount of Euros 4 million in the period January-September 2018.

1.4.3. EBIT.

The table below presents the distribution of the EBIT amongst ENDESA businesses in the first nine months of 2018 and variations compared with the same period of the previous year:

The 21.9% increase in EBITDA.
The Euros 55 million (+9.2%) increase in the depreciation and amortisation charge in the first nine months of 2018, as a result of the Euros 45 million increase arising from the capitalisation of incremental costs incurred in the acquisition of customer contracts under Non-Current Assets on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, in accordance with IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and from the impairment of financial assets in accordance with IFRS 9 “Financial instruments” from 1 January 2018 (see Section 1.2. Changes in Accounting Principles of this Consolidated Management Report).

Structure and Others.

EBIT in the Structure and Others segment amounted to Euros 42 million, negative, in the first nine months of 2018, due mainly to the Euros 119 million decrease in EBITDA.

2. Other information.

The price agreed for all the aforementioned transactions was Euros 4 million (see Section 4.2. Cash Flows of this Consolidated Management Report).

ENDESA has recognised the acquisition of these companies as a business combination, and using the acquisition method, has definitively recognised the acquired assets and assumed liabilities (net acquired assets) of each one of these companies at fair value on its acquisition date under the following consolidated financial statement headings:


Millions of Euros
				Fair value
Non-current assets				5
Property, plant and equipment				5
Current assets				1
Trade and other accounts receivable				1
TOTAL ASSETS				6

Non-current liabilities				1
Deferred tax liabilities				1
Current liabilities				1
Current financial debt				1
TOTAL LIABILITIES				2

Fair value of net assets acquired				4

The companies acquired are currently applying for permits and licences to carry out their projects. Therefore, construction work of the renewable power facilities has not yet started on most of them, and no revenue has been generated since the acquisition date.

Parques Eólicos Gestinver, S.L.U.

On 3 April 2018, an agreement was signed, through its subsidiary ENEL Green España, S.L.U. (EGPE), for the acquisition of 100% of the share capital of the companies Parques Eólicos Gestinver, S.L.U. and Parques Eólicos Gestinver Gestión, S.L.U., for Euros 42 million.

Parques Eólicos Gestinver, S.L.U. has an installed wind power capacity of 132 MW, distributed across 5 wind farms located in the regions of Galicia and Catalonia.

Through this acquisition, ENDESA reinforces its presence in the Iberian generation market by expanding the portfolio of renewable assets in its production mix.

The net cash outflow related to the acquisition of Parques Eólicos Gestinver, S.L.U. was as follows:


Millions of Euros
	Sections
Cash and cash equivalents of the acquiree		(12)
Net amount paid in cash _{(1) (2)}		57
TOTAL	4.2	45
(1) The purchase costs recognised under Other fixed operating expenses in the Consolidated Income Statement stood at Euros 1 million. (2) Of the this amount, Euros 42 million correspond to the price of the shareholding in the company and Euros 15 million to the subordinated debt held by the company with its former shareholders.

The purchase price was provisionally allocated on the basis of the acquisition-date fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (Net Assets Acquired) from Parques Eólicos Gestinver, S.L.U. under the following items in the Consolidated Financial Statements:


Millions of Euros
				Fair value
Non-current assets				181
Property, plant and equipment				139
Intangible assets				34
Deferred tax assets				8
Current assets				19
Trade and other accounts receivable				5

Fair value of net assets acquired				42

(1) Includes debt with credit institutions for the amount of Euros 104 million, derivatives for the amount of Euros 11 million, and debt with Group companies and associates for the amount of Euros 15 million.

When determining the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, the expected discounted cash flows were taken into consideration in line with the remuneration system in force at the acquisition date.

The contribution of the acquired company from the date of acquisition until 30 September 2018 was as follows:


Millions of Euros
			3 April 2018 - 30 September 2018
Ordinary Income			11
Profit/(loss) after tax			1

Likewise, if the acquisition had taken place on 1 January 2018, the contribution of the company acquired in the nine month period ended 30 September 2018 would have been as follows:


Millions of Euros
			January - September 2018
Ordinary Income			19
Profit/(loss) after tax			3

Eólica del Principado, S.A.U.

On 22 May 2018, ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE) acquired 60.0% of the share capital of Eólica del Principado, S.A.U., a company whose activity consists of the generation of electricity through renewable wind technology, and in which it previously held a 40.0% stake.

As a result of this transaction, ENDESA went from having significant influence to full control of Eólica del Principado, S.A.U. that it maintains to date.

The net outflow of cash originated by the acquisition of Eólica del Principado, S.A.U. has amounted to less than Euros 1 million (see Section 4.2. Cash Flows of this Consolidated Management Report).

The purchase price has been finally allocated, on the basis of the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed (Net Assets Acquired) from Eólica del Principado, S.A.U. on the acquisition date, under the following headings in the consolidated financial statements:


Millions of Euros
				Fair value
Non-current assets				1
Property, plant and equipment				1
TOTAL ASSETS				1

Fair value of net assets acquired				1

Ordinary income and profit/(loss) after tax generated by the company from the takeover date until 30 September 2018 were insignificant. Additionally, had the takeover taken place on 1 January 2018, ordinary income and profit/(loss) after tax generated by this transaction during the first nine months of 2018 would have amounted to less than Euros 1 million.

The net gain at the date control obtained g from the measurement at fair value of the previously held non-controlling interest of 40.0% in Eólica del Principado, S.A.U. was less than Euros 1 million.

Empresa de Alumbrado Eléctrico de Ceuta, S.A.

On 25 July 2018, ENDESA Red, S.A.U. acquired 94.6% of the share capital of Empresa de Alumbrado Eléctrico de Ceuta, S.A., which includes 100% of Empresa de Alumbrado Eléctrico de Ceuta Comercialización de Referencia, S.A.U. and 100% of Empresa de Alumbrado Eléctrico de Ceuta Distribución, S.A.U., for Euros 83 million.

Empresa de Alumbrado Eléctrico de Ceuta, S.A. has more than 30.000 customers and is the leading electricity distribution and supply company in Ceuta, a region where ENDESA carries out electricity generation activities. Therefore, this acquisition is a fit with its strategy to grow in the areas of distribution and supply in Spain and Portugal.

The net cash outflow for the acquisition of Empresa de Alumbrado Eléctrico de Ceuta, S.A. was as follows:

Millions of Euros
	Sections
Cash and cash equivalents of the acquiree		(2)
Net amount paid in cash ₍₁₎		83
TOTAL	4.2	81
(1) The purchase costs recognised under "Other fixed operating expenses" in the Consolidated Income Statement were less than Euros 1 million.

The purchase price has been provisionally allocated on the basis of the acquisition-date fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (Net Assets Acquired) from Empresa de Alumbrado Eléctrico de Ceuta, S.A. under the following items of the consolidated financial statements:


Millions of Euros
				Fair value
Non-current assets				84

Other non-current liabilities				1
Deferred tax liabilities				5
Current liabilities				5
Trade payables and other current liabilities				5
TOTAL LIABILITIES				27

Fair value of net assets acquired				62

The difference between the cost of the business combination and the fair value of the assets and liabilities recognised has generated provisional goodwill of Euros 21 million relating to synergies to be obtained in the transaction, based on the optimisation of ENDESA's position in the distribution market of the self-governing city of Ceuta, which will allow cost reductions to be achieved through joint management, improved grid operations and the pooling of processes.

At the date on which this consolidated management report was drawn up, ENDESA is still working on the final assignation of the purchase price.

The contribution of the acquired company from the date of acquisition until 30 September 2018 was as follows:


Millions of Euros
			25 July 2018 - 30 September 2018
Ordinary Income			7
Profit/(loss) after tax			1

Likewise, if the acquisition had taken place on 1 January 2018, the contribution of the company acquired in the nine month period ended 30 September 2018 would have been as follows:


Millions of Euros
			January - September 2018
Ordinary Income			29
Profit/(loss) after tax			2

2.3. Other Information.

On 1 June 2018, the share capital of Eólica Valle del Ebro, S.A. was reduced by Euros 2 million to partially repay the value of the contributions made by shareholders in accordance with their ownership interest. The transaction had no impact on the Consolidated Income Statement, but had an impact of Euros 1 million, negative, on equity (see Section 4.2. Cash Flows of this Consolidated Management Report).

Further, on 17 July 2018, through its subsidiary ENEL Green España, S.L.U. (EGPE), ENDESA signed agreements with Siemens Gamesa Renewable Invest, S.A.U. to purchase 100% of the shares of Sistemas Energéticos Sierra del Carazo, S.A. and Sistemas Energéticos Alcohujate, S.A. in the coming months for the amount of Euros 2 million.

3. Regulatory Framework.

From a regulatory perspective, the main highlights during the period were as follows:

2018 Electricity Tariff.

On 27 December 2017 the Official State Gazette (BOE) published Order ETU/1282/2017 of 22 December 2017, which establishes the access tariffs for 2018.

Access tariffs remained unchanged in the Order.

Natural Gas Tariff for 2018.

Under Order ETU/1283/2017 of 22 December 2017 access tariffs in force in 2017 were largely maintained, having updated the Last Resort Tariffs with an average increase of 5% resulting from higher raw material costs.

On 30 June 2018, the Resolution of 28 June 2018 was published in the Official State Gazette (BOE), publishing the Last Resort Rates (LRT) for natural gas to be applied from 1 July 2018, resulting in an average increase of approximately 3.4%, derived from the increase in the cost of the raw material.

On 29 September 2018, the Resolution of 25 September June 2018 was published in the Official State Gazette (BOE), publishing the Last Resort Rates (LRT) for natural gas to be applied from 1 October 2018, resulting in an average increase of approximately 7.4%, compared to the previous period, derived from the increase in the cost of the raw material.

Energy Efficiency.

Law 18/2014, of 15 October 2014, approving urgent measures to boost growth, competitiveness and efficiency, with regard to energy efficiency, created the Energy Efficiency National Fund with the aim of achieving energy savings.

Order ETU/257/2018 of 16 March 2018 entailed a contribution by ENDESA to the Energy Efficiency National Fund of Euros 29 million, corresponding to its 2018 obligations.

Social Bonus.

In March 2018, the Energy, Tourism and Digital Agenda (now the Ministry for the Ecological Transition) started processing a proposed Order that sets the financing distribution percentage of the 2018 Social Bonus, with the percentage proposed for ENDESA set at 37.15%, compared to the current percentage provided for under Royal Decree Law 7/2016, of 23 December 2016, standing at 37.7%.

Furthermore, on 7 April 2018, Order ETU/361/2018, of 6 April 2018, was published, amending the Social Bonus application forms established in Order ETU/943/2017, of 6 October 2017, which implements Royal Decree 897/2017, of 6 October 2017, regulating the figure of the vulnerable consumer, the Social Bonus and other protection measures for domestic consumers of electricity. Furthermore, this Order extends the existing transitional period until 8 October 2018 for consumers of electricity who, on the date of entry into force of Order ETU/943/2017, of 6 October 2017, were beneficiaries of the Social Bonus, to demonstrate their status as vulnerable consumer in accordance with the provisions of Royal Decree 897/2017, of 6 October 2017.

Public Consultation made by the Spanish Markets and Competition Commission (CNMC) on remuneration for regulated activities.

On the 27 July 2018, the CNMC opened a public consultation on the calculation methodology used for the remuneration rate in the second regulatory period, 2020-2025, for the Distribution, Transmission, Non-mainland Systems and Renewables activities.

Law 6/2018, of 3 July 2018, concerning General State Budget for 2018.

On 4 July 2018, Law 6/2018, of 3 July 2018, on the General State Budget for 2018 was published in the Official State Gazette. Among other issues, it establishes that surplus income from the system may be used exceptionally in 2018 for the payment of compensation to settle litigation proceedings referring to electricity sector regulations that must be made with a charge to the General State Budget or the Electricity System. These surpluses may equally be used, unrestrictedly, to pay off debt in the electricity system, or as income accrued over several years in electricity system settlements. Further, the law includes a provision that eliminates the need for a compatibility ruling for plants in the non-mainland electricity system that have to make investments to comply with EU or Spanish regulatory requirements in order to continue operating, provided that these plants are necessary to guarantee an efficient supply.

Royal Decree 1048/2018, of 24 August 2018, on the electricity system shortfall of 2013.

On 1 September 2018, Royal Decree 1048/2018, of 24 August 2018, was published in the Official State Gazette (BOE), amending the procedure for calculating the interest to be recognised for financing the electricity system deficit for 2013, so that this interest will be established from the moment the corresponding contributions are made by agents and not just from 1 January of the following year. The total amount payable to the agents that financed the 2013 deficit is Euros 15 million, of which Euros 7 million correspond to ENDESA. The Royal Decree establishes that this methodology will also be applied in the event of any future shortfalls (see Section 1.3.3. Net financial gain/(loss) of this Consolidated Management Report).

Royal Decree Law 15/2018, of 5 October 2018, on urgent measures for the energy transition and consumer protection.

On 5 October 2018 the Council of Ministers approved Royal Decree Law 15/2018, on urgent measures for the energy transition and consumer protection, published in the Official State Gazette (BOE) on 6 October 2018. This Royal Decree contains a series of urgent measures to provide greater cover for vulnerable groups and increase consumer protection through policies that allow tariffs to be more effectively adjusted to consumption. The law also implements measures to speed up the transition to a decarbonised economy based on renewable energies, driving energy efficiency and electric mobility.

The first block of measures is designed to protect vulnerable consumer groups. The number of beneficiaries eligible for the Social Bonus has been extended to include single-parent families, and families with grade 2 or 3 dependents that fall below certain income thresholds. Further, cases where supply may not be cut off due to lack of payment for vulnerable consumers have been extended to include families approved by the social services with children under the age of 16, dependents or disabled members, where these amounts will be covered by the groups obliged to fund the Social Bonus. The maximum consumption level with a right to a discount has also been increased. With regard to beneficiaries of the previous Social Bonus, the renewal period for which ended on 8 October 2018, the Royal Decree Law establishes that those who meet the requirements for the new Social Bonus and apply between 8 October 2018 and 31 December 2018 will be eligible to receive the Bonus from 8 October 2018. Lastly, a thermal Social Bonus has been created for heating, to be funded by the General State Budget.

A second group of measures is aimed at protecting consumers and includes more flexibility in contracting power, in addition to obliging suppliers to include the amount that customers would have to pay if tariffs with time constraints were applied on their bills.

A third group of measures is designed to promote self-consumption, simplifying the types available and enabling shared self-consumption, while eliminating charges and tolls for self-consumption based on renewables, co-generation or waste. The Royal Decree Law also features measures to simplify administrative and technical processes, especially for small facilities.

The fourth block of measures seeks to increase the penetration of renewable energies and electric mobility. Therefore, to facilitate the commissioning of the renewable power awarded in the last auctions, the access and connection licences granted prior to Law 24/2013, governing the electricity system, which would have expired on 31 December 2018 have been extended until 31 March 2020. With regard to electric mobility, the load manager role has been abolished to make the roll out of these services easier.

The last block contains measures associated with fiscal aspects and the sustainability of the system. For the last quarter of 2018 and the first quarter of 2019, the tax on the value of electricity production has been suspended and the special tax on hydrocarbons for electricity generation has been abolished. To ensure the sustainability of the electricity system, income that derives from CO₂ emissions rights auctions used to cover costs in the electricity system has been increased, and the system surplus will be used to reduce imbalances in 2018 and 2019.

Royal Decree Law 15/2018, of 5 October 2018, has been validated by the Congress of Deputies on 18 October 2018, having approved on the other hand its processing as a project of law.
