30 JUNE 2018

1. Business trends and results in the first half of 2018.

1.1. Consolidated results.

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 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”.

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 recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

This asset is amortised systematically based on the expected average life of the contracts with customers associated with these costs, which, on that date, fluctuates between 1.4 years and 9 years (see Note 2.1 of the Explicative Notes that form part of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements corresponding to the six-month period ended 30 June 2018).

As a result of the entry into force of IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" ENDESA has applied an impairment model based on the expected loss method (See Note 2.1 of the Explanatory Notes that are part of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the six-month period ended 30 June 2018).

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 15 " Revenues from Contracts with Customers" and IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the six-month period ended 30 June 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 half of 2018 and its variation compared with the same period in the previous year:

Millions of Euros
    Most significant figures

2018

  January - June

2017

  Difference   % Var.
Income   9,934   10,004   (70)   (0.7)
Contribution margin   2,823   2,624   199   7.6
EBITDA (1)   1,804   1,605   199   12.4
EBIT (2)   1,053   901   152   16.9
Net financial gain/(loss)   (70)   (59)   (11)   18.6
Profit/(loss) before tax   984   848   136   16.0
Net gain/(loss)   752   653   99   15.2
(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 1,804 million, (+12.4%) in the first half of 2018. To analyse the performance during the period, we have to consider the improvement in the contribution margin of Euros 199 million (+7.6%) can be attributed, on the one hand, to the drop in power purchases (-7.9%) as a result, primarily, of the decrease in electricity prices on the wholesale market, the cumulative arithmetic price of which is Euros 50.1/MWh (-2.3%) and, on the other hand, the drop in fuel consumption (-10.9%) due to the decrease in thermal and nuclear output during the period, in addition to the reduction in average purchase price and in the tax on the value of electricity production.

EBIT for the first half of 2018 increase 16.9% year-on-year to Euros 1,053 million, mainly as a result of the 12.4% increase in EBITDA.

1.3.1. Income.

Income in the first half of 2018 totalled Euros 9,934 million, 70 million (+0.7%) less than income posted in the first half of last year.

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

Market situation.

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

  • Total mainland electricity demand rose by 1.2% year-on year (+1.1% adjusted for working days and temperature).
  • The accumulated electricity demand in non-mainland territories closed out the first half of 2018 with a 1.4% increase in the Balearic Islands and a 0.3% decrease in the Canary Islands compared with the same period the previous year (+2.6% and -0.6% respectively, adjusted for the effect of working days and temperature).

The first half of 2018 saw lower prices, with the cumulative arithmetic price in the electricity wholesale market standing at Euros 50.1/MWh (-2.3%) mainly due to higher wind and hydroelectric output. The cumulative contribution of renewable energies to total mainland production was 42.1% (36.7% in the first half of 2017).

Against this backdrop:

  • ENDESA's mainland electricity production during the half 2018 was 28,708 GWh, i.e., 8.5% lower than the first half of the previous year, as detailed below: combined cycle plants (1,753 GWh, -42.6%), coal-fired power plants (7,928 GWh, -23.5%), nuclear power plants (11,769 GWh, -10.1%), renewable and cogeneration plants (2,051 GWh, +15.9%) and hydroelectric plants (5,207 GWh, + 68.5%).
  • Non-mainland Territories generation was 6,160 GWh (-2.3%).
  • Nuclear and renewable technologies, including hydroelectrical, accounted for 54.8% of ENDESA's generation mix, compared with 83.6% for the rest of the sector (47.9% and 79.4% respectively in the first half of 2017).

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

  • 21.0% in mainland generation.
  • 43.0% in electricity distribution.
  • 33.8% in the sale of electricity.

In the first half of 2018 conventional gas demand was up by 7.7% year on year, and at 30 June 2018 ENDESA had secured a market share of 16.2% in gas sales to customers in the deregulated market.

Electricity sales on the deregulated market.

At 30 June 2018, ENDESA had 5,668,962 electricity customers in the deregulated market, a 1.4% increase on numbers at 31 December 2017, as per the following breakdown:

  • 4,605,055 (+0.1%) in the Spanish mainland market.
  • 805,050 (+2.3%) in the non-mainland territories market.
  • 258,857 (+26.3%) in deregulated markets outside Spain.

ENDESA sold a net total of 38,268 GWh to these customers in the first half of 2018, a 5.8% decrease on the same half of 2017.

In economic terms, sales on the deregulated market in the first half of 2018 rose totalled Euros 4,532 million (-3.8%), with the following breakdown:

  • Sales in the Spanish deregulated market totalled Euros 4,054 million, Euros 154 million down on the figure for the previous year (-3.7%) due mainly to the lower number of physical units sold.
  • Revenue from sales to deregulated European markets other than Spain totalled Euros 478 million, down by Euros 25 million (-5.0%) year on year, due mainly to the lower volume of electricity sold in Belgium, the Netherlands, France and Portugal.

Electricity sales at a regulated price.

During the first half of 2018:

  • ENDESA sold 6,247 GWh to customers via its Supplier of Reference under the regulated price, which is down 4.1% on January-June 2017.
  • These sales entailed an income of Euros 1,133 million, which is 10.6% lower than the figure in the first half of 2017, as a result of the decreased sales price and the drop in physical units sold.

Gas sales.

At 30 June 2018, ENDESA had 1,562,200 gas customers in the deregulated market, a 0.1% increase on numbers at 31 December 2017, as shown in the following breakdown:

  • 237,548 (-3.7%) in the regulated market.
  • 1,324,652 (+0.8%) in the deregulated market.

ENDESA sold 43,344 GWh to customers in the natural gas market in the first half of 2018, which represents a 2.3% increase on the first half 2017 figure.

Revenue from gas sales totalled Euros 1,291 million in the first half of 2018, up Euros 91 million (+7.6%) on the figure for the first half of 2017, as follows:

  • Gas sales in the deregulated market totalled Euros 1,243 million, which is Euros 90 million more (+7.8%) than the figure for the first half of 2017, due mainly to the higher number of physical units sold in international and wholesale markets.
  • Revenue from gas sales at the regulated price totalled Euros 48 million, in line with the figure in the first half of 2017 and in line with the performance of physical units sold.

Non-mainland Territories Generation Compensations.

Compensations in the first half of 2018 for the extra-costs of non-mainland territories generation totalled Euros 607 million, down by Euros 57 million (-8.6%) compared to the same period the year before, due, amongt other aspects, to the fact that the compensation for the extra-costs in the first half of 2017 included reliquidations amounting to Euros 52 million.

Electricity distribution.

During the first half of 2018, ENDESA distributed 57,351 GWh in the Spanish market, which is 0.5% less compared with the first half of 2017.

Revenue from regulated distribution activities in the first half of 2018 totalled Euros 1,109 million, up Euros 83 million (+8.1%) on the first half of 2017 according to the methodology deriving from Royal Decree 1048/2013, of 27 December.

Other operating income.

The table below shows the breakdown of other operating income in the first half of 2018 and their variation compared with the previous year:

Millions of Euros        
  January - June 2018 (1) January - June 2017 (1) Difference % Var.
Changes in fuel stock derivatives 216 29 187 644.8
Grants released to income 85 92 (7) (7.6)
Contract Rights 19 24 (5) (20.8)
Other 54 67 (13) (19.4)
TOTAL 374 212 162 76.4
(1) See Note 19.3 of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the six month periods ended 30 June 2018 and 2017.

In the period of January-June 2018, the amount of other operating income amounted to Euros 374 million, an increase of 76.4% over the same period of the previous year, mainly as a result of the increase of Euros 187 million in income from the valuation and liquidation energy derivatives due to the performance of the valuation and liquidation of gas and electricity derivatives that is partially offset by the Euros 62 million increase (+51.8%) in expenses for the same item recorded in the "Other Operating Expenses" section.

1.3.2. Operating expenses.

Operating expenses totalled Euros 8,961 million in the January-June 2018 period, 2.4% less than in the same period the previous year.

The table below shows the breakdown of Operating expenses in the first half of 2018 and their variation compared with the previous year:

Millions of Euros                
    January - June 2018 (1)   January - June 2017 (1)   Difference   % Var.
Procurements and Services   7,111   7,380   (269)   (3.6)

TOTAL   8,961   9,182   (221)   (2.4)
(1) See the Consolidated Income Statements for the six-month periods ending 30 June 2018 and 2017.

Procurements and services (variable costs).

Procurements and services (variable costs) totalled Euros 7,111 million in the first half of 2018, 3.6% less than in the same period the previous year.

The performance of these costs for the first half of 2018 was:

  • Energy purchases decreased by Euros 203 million (-7.9%) to Euros 2,363 million, primarily because of the lower volume of electricity and gas purchases and the decrease in the average arithmetic price in the wholesale electricity market (Euros 50.1/MWh, -2.3%).
  • The cost of the fuel consumed was Euros 941 million, down 10.9% (Euros 115 million) due to the drop in thermal and nuclear output in the period and the fall in the average purchase price.
  • “Other variable procurements and services” totalled Euros 1,038 million, up Euros 112 million (+12.1%) year-on-year. This change can be attributed in large part to:
  • The Euros 35 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 increase of Euros 62 million (+51.8%) in expenses relating to energy derivatives, offset in part by a Euros 187 million increase in income in this connection, which is recognised under “Other operating income”, mainly due to changes in the valuation and settlement of gas and electricity derivatives.
  • The Euros 35 million increase in the cost of value added services, as a result of the increased billing corresponding to these activities (Euros 40 million).
  • The increase in the hydraulic tax due to a greater hydraulic production amounting to Euros 21 million.
  • The Euros 16 million increase in the cost of CO2 emissions, despite the drop in thermal output, as a result of the increase in market prices.

Personnel and other fixed operating expenses (fixed costs).

In the first half of 2018, fixed costs amounted to Euros 1,099 million, practically unchanged (+0.1%) compared to the first half of 2017.

The table below presents the breakdown of fixed costs in the first half of 2018 and their variation compared with the previous year:

Millions of Euros
    Fixed Costs
  January - June

2018 (1)

  January - June

2017 (1)

  Difference   % Var.
Personnel expenses   473   451   22   4.9
Other Fixed Operating Expenses   626   647   (21)   (3.2)
TOTAL   1,099   1,098   1   0.1
(1) See the Consolidated Income Statements for the six-month periods ending 30 June 2018 and 2017.

Personnel expenses

Personnel expenses for the first half of 2018 amounted to Euros 473 million, with an increase of Euros 22 million (+4.9%) compared to the first half of 2017.

In the first halves 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 6 million, positive, in the first half of 2018 and Euros 13 million, positive, in the first half of 2017), and the provisioning to deal with redundancy plans, compensations and other tax and labour risks (Euros 24 million in the first half of 2018 and Euros 4 million in the first half of 2017).

Stripping out these two effects, personnel expenses for the first half of 2018 would have decreased by Euros 5 million (-1.1%), due mainly to the reduction of the average workforce of 232 employees (-2.3%).

Other fixed operating expenses.

Other fixed operating expenses in the half of 2018 stood at Euros 626 million, down Euros 21 million (-3.2%) compared to the first half of 2017.

In the first half of 2018, a net reversal of Euros 11 million for infringement proceedings was recognised, whilst a net cost of Euros 12 million was recognised for this item in the first half of 2017.

Isolating these effects, other fixed operating expenses in the first half of 2018 would have increased by Euros 2 million (+0.3%).

Depreciation and amortisation and impairment losses

The table below presents the detail of depreciation and impairment costs in the first half of 2018 and its variation compared to the previous year:

Millions of Euros
    Depreciation and amortisation, and impairment losses
  January - June

2018 (1)

  January - June

2017 (1)

  Difference   % Var.
Provision for the depreciation of property, plant and equipment   608   583   25   4.3
Impairment of property, plant and equipment and investment property   -   (15)   15   100.0
Provision for amortisation of intangible assets   101   78   23   29.5
Provision for impairment losses on intangible assets   (1)   -   (1)   N/A
Provisions for bad debts and other   43   58   (15)   (25.9)
TOTAL   751   704   47   6.7
(1) See the Consolidated Income Statements for the six-month periods ending 30 June 2018 and 2017.

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

  • As a result of the activation as of 1 January 2018 in the Non-Current Asset of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position of the incremental costs incurred in obtaining the contracts with customers, the first half of 2018 saw an increase of Euros 23 million in the depreciation expense for this item (see Section 1.2. Changes in Accounting Principles of this Consolidated Management Report).
  • During the period January-June 2017, there was a reversal of losses due to the impairment of tangible fixed assets endowed in previous years on certain land, amounting to Euros 15 million.

Without considering the effects described in the paragraph above, depreciation and amortisation and impairment losses in the first half of 2018 would have increased by Euros 9 million (+1.3%) compared to the same period in the previous year.

1.3.3. Net financial gain/(loss).

The net financial result in the first halves of 2018 and 2017 has been negative for the amount of Euros 70 million and Euros 59 million, respectively.

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

Millions of Euros

Net Exchange Differences   (1)   1   (2)   (200.0)
TOTAL   (70)   (59)   (11)   18.6
(1) Net financial profit/(loss) = Financial Income - Financial Expense + Net Exchange Differences.

(2) See the Consolidated Income Statements for the six-month periods ending 30 June 2018 and 2017.

In the first half of 2018, net financial expenses totalled Euros 69 million, up Euros 9 million (+15.0%) year on year.

In the first half of 2018, net exchange rate differences were negative for the amount of Euros 1 million (Euros 1 million, positive, in the first half of 2017).

In order to analyse the development of the net financial expense, it must be taken into account that 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 in both periods, as well as the impairment of the value 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 5 million, negative, in the first half of 2018 and Euros 10 million, positive, in the first half of 2017.

Without considering the impact indicated in the previous paragraph, net financial expenses would have decreased by Euros 6 million (-8.6%) 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 2.3% in January-June 2017 to 2.0% in January-June 2018, which has offset;
  • The increase in average gross debt of both periods, which went from Euros 5,910 million in January-June 2017 to Euros 6,335 million in January-June 2018.

1.3.4. Net profit/(loss) of companies accounted for using the equity method.

In the first half of 2018, the net result of companies using the equity method was Euros 20 million compared to Euros 10 million, both positive, in the first half of 2017, the detail being as follows:

Generation and Supply

The contribution margin in the Generation and Supply segment in the first half of 2018 totalled Euros 1,591 million, up Euros 136 million year on year (+9.3%), due mainly to the following factors:

  • Decrease in electricity prices on the wholesale market (Euros 50.1/MWh; -2.3%) and the subsequent decrease in power purchase costs (-7.9%).
  • The drop in thermal and nuclear output and the decrease in fuel prices, resulting in a decrease in fuel consumed (-10.9%).
  • The Euros 35 million decrease 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).
  • The Euros 16 million increase in the cost of CO2 emissions, despite the drop in thermal output, as a result of the increase in market prices.

Distribution.

The contribution margin in the Distribution segment in the first half of 2018 totalled Euros 1,286 million, up Euros 62 million (+5.1%) year on year, due mainly to the remuneration from the distribution activity.

Structure and Others.

The contribution margin of Structure and Others in the first half of 2018 amounted to Euros 54 million, negative, and mainly includes the cost of the Social Bonus according to Royal Decree 897/2017, of 6 October 2017 (see Section 3. Regulatory Framework of this Consolidated Management Report).

Generation and Supply.

EBITDA for this segment amounted to Euros 795 million, (+13.9%) in the first half of 2018. The following factors must be taken into account when looking at EBITDA for the first half of 2018:

  • The 9.3% increase in the contribution margin.
  • The 14.0% increase in personnel expenses, as a result of the increased average workforce during the period (29 employees) and the development of the update of the provisions for current workforce reduction plans and contract suspension agreements (Euros 2 million, negative, in the first half of 2018 and Euros 6 million, positive, in the first half of 2017), and the provisioning to deal with redundancy plans, compensations and other tax and labour risks (Euros 31 million in the first half of 2018 and Euros 1 million in the first half of 2017).

Distribution.

For the first half of 2018, EBITDA for this segment was Euros 1,012 million (+8.1%), including:

  • The positive performance of the contribution margin (+5.1%).
  • The performance of fixed operating costs, which have been reduced by Euros 17 million as a result of lower personnel expenses (-6.0%), mainly due to the decrease in the average workforce (-5.0% ), and the reduction in other fixed operating expenses (-4.2%), mainly due to the Euros 15 million reduction in fines.

Structure and Others.

The gross operating result (EBITDA) of the first half of 2018 of Structure and Others was Euros 3 million, negative, which represented an improvement of Euros 26 million compared to the same period of the previous year (Euros 29 million, negative) and includes the Euros 3 million reduction in personnel expenses due to the lower average workforce for the period (-6.2%).

  • The 13.9% increase in EBITDA.
  • The increase in the cost of depreciations and amortisations in the first half of 2018 by Euros 17 million (+4.2%) due to the increase of Euros 23 million as a result of the capitalisation of incremental costs incurred in the acquisition of customer contracts under the Non-Current Assets on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, from 1 January 2018 onwards (see Section 1.2. Changes in Accounting Principles of this Consolidated Management Report).

The price agreed for all the aforementioned transactions was less than Euros 1 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   2
Property, plant and equipment   2
     
TOTAL ASSETS   2
     
Current Liabilities   1
Current Financial Debt   1
     
TOTAL LIABILITIES   1
     
Fair Value of Net Assets Acquired   1

The companies acquired are currently applying for permits and licences to carry out their projects. Therefore, construction work has not yet started on the renewable power facilities, and therefore, 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 Parques Eólicos Gestinver, S.L.U. and Parques Eólicos Gestinver Gestión, S.L.U., for the sum of 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 from the acquisition of Parques Eólicos Gestinver, S.L. was calculated 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 booked under "Other fixed operating expenses" in the consolidated income statement were Euros 1 million.

(2) Of the total, 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's 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. under the following items in the Consolidated Financial Statements:

Millions of Euros    
    Fair value

(1) Includes debts with credit institutions for an amount of Euros 104 million (see Note 13.1 of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the six months ended 30 June 2018), derivatives for an amount of Euros 11 million and debts with Group and Associated Companies for an 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 June 2018 was as follows:

Millions of Euros    
    3 April 2018 -

30 June 2018

Revenue   5
Profit/(Loss) After Tax   (1)

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

Millions of Euros

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 in the generation of electricity through renewable wind technology, and on 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 maintained 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.

The purchase price was finally allocated, on the basis of the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities undertaken (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

In the first half of 2018, revenue and profit after taxes generated by the company since the acquisition date until 30 June 2018 were insignificant. Additionally, had the acquisition taken place on 1 January 2018, revenue and profit after taxes generated from this transaction during the first half of 2018 would have amounted to less than Euros 1 million.

The net gain at the date control was obtained from the measure 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.

Other information

On 19 June 2018, ENDESA Red, S.A.U., made a binding offer to purchase all of the share capital of Empresa de Alumbrado Eléctrico de Ceuta, S.A. The price offered was Euros 13.21 per share, which represents a total amount of Euros 88 million, in the case of acquiring the entire share capital.

The purchase was previously conditioned to obtaining the mandatory authorisation from the Spanish competition authorities, as well as ENDESA Red, S.A.U. acquiring at least a controlling interest in excess of 50.01% of the capital share of Empresa de Alumbrado Eléctrico de Ceuta, S.A.

As of the date of approval of this Consolidated Management Report, shareholders holding 94.4% of the company's share capital have attended the abovementioned binding purchase offer, having obtained authorization without conditions from the Spanish Commission of the Markets and the Competition (CNMC) for the closing of the operation.

Consequently, the bidding process is successfully completed and it is expected that before 31 July 2018 the agreed price will be paid to the shareholders accepting the offer and to the acquisition of their representative securities, which represent 94.4 % of the share capital of Empresa de Alumbrado Eléctrico de Ceuta, S.A.

On 17 July 2018, through its subsidiary ENEL Green España, S.L.U. (EGPE), ENDESA acquired 100% of the shares of Sistemas Energéticos Campoliva, S.A. to Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy Invest, S.A.U. for Euros 3 million, which includes Euros 1 million for debt repayment.

Also on 17 July 2018, through its subsidiary ENEL Green España, S.L.U. (EGPE), it 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 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, 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 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 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.

Energy Efficiency.

Law 18/2014, of 15 October, 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 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%, whereas the current percentage provided for under Royal Decree Law 7/2016, of 23 December, standing at 37.7%.

Furthermore, on 7 April 2018, Order ETU/361/2018 was published, amending the Social Bonus application forms established in Order ETU/943/2017, of 6 October, which implements Royal Decree 897/2017, of 6 October, regulating the figure of the vulnerable consumers, 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, were beneficiaries of the Social Bonus, to prove the status of vulnerable consumer in accordance with the provisions of Royal Decree 897/2017, of October 6.

4. Liquidity and Capital Resources.

(4) Net investments = Gross investments - Capital grants and transferred facilities.

Investments in Property, Plant and Equipment.

Gross generation investments for the first half of 2018 correspond, for the most part, with investments related to the construction of the wind and photovoltaic power awarded in the auctions carried out in the year 2017, amounting to Euros 63 million (see Note 5.3 of the Explanatory Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the six-month period ended 30 June 30 2018).

Additionally, investments have been made on plants that were already operating at 31 December 2017, prominently including the sum of less than Euros 1 million investment in the Litoral power plant to adapt it to European environmental legislation and in the As Pontes power plant for the sum of Euros 16 million in line with the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED).

Gross distribution investments are related to grid extensions and expenditure aimed at optimising the grid to improve the efficiency and quality of service. It also included investment for the widespread installation of remote management smart meters and their operating systems.

Investments in Intangible Assets.

Gross investments in intangible assets in the first half of 2018 correspond to IT applications and ongoing investments in ICT activities for the sum of Euros 34 million and the capitalisation of incremental costs incurred corresponding to the acquisition of customer contracts for the sum of Euros 35 million (see Section 1.2. Changes in Accounting Principles of this Consolidated Management Report).

Financial investments.

The gross investments in the first half of 2018 include, primarily, guarantees and deposits for Euros 17 million.

4.4. Dividends.

At its session held on 21 November 2017, the Board of Directors of ENDESA, S.A. approved the following shareholder remuneration policy for 2017-2020:

  • 2017 to 2020: the ordinary dividend per share distributed against these years will be the equivalent to 100% of ordinary net profit attributable to the Parent company set down in the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group headed by this company, with a minimum of Euros 1.32 per share, gross, in 2017 and Euros 1.33 per share, gross in 2018.
  • The intention of the Board of Directors of ENDESA, S.A. is that the ordinary dividend will be paid solely in cash in two instalments (January and July) on a given date to be determined in each case, which will be duly notified.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, ENDESA, S.A.'s capacity to pay out dividends to its shareholders depends on numerous factors, including the generation of profit and the availability of unrestricted reserves, and, therefore, the Company cannot ensure that dividends will be paid out in future years or the amount of such dividends if paid.

Approval was given at ENDESA, S.A.'s General Shareholders' Meeting of 23 April 2018 to pay shareholders a total dividend charged against 2017 profit for a gross amount of Euros 1.382 per share (Euros 1,463 million in total). The breakdown of these dividends is as follows:

Millions of euros                
    Approval date   Gross Euros per share   Amount   Payment date
Interim dividends   21 November 2017   0.70   741 (1)   2 January 2018
Final dividend   23 April 2018   0.682   722   2 July 2018
Total dividend paid against 2017 profit       1.382   1,463    

(1) See Section. 4.2 Cash Flows of this Consolidated Management Report.

5. Major risks and uncertainties in the second half of 2018.

The information regarding the main risks and uncertainties associated with ENDESA's activity is described in Section 7 of the Consolidated Management Report for the year ended 31 December 2017.

The main risks and uncertainties ENDESA faces in the second half of 2018 arise mostly from the following:

  • ENDESA sales in the second half of 2018 will largely be affected by gas and electricity demand in Spain during the period, which in turn will be shaped by the Spanish economy and, mostly, GDP growth.
  • Rainfall and wind potential levels will also affect electricity production costs and market price, in turn affecting margins in the second half of 2018.
  • Furthermore, fuel and electricity prices on the wholesale market, fundamentally coal and gas, will impact business costs and sales prices. Although ENDESA has fuel price hedges in place and has finalised contracts for power sold to customers for the next few months, fluctuations in both the market price for fuel and for electricity will affect the Group’s costs and revenue, and therefore, margins.
  • Interest rates will have an impact on ENDESA’s results in the second half of 2018 because of the portion of the Group’s net debt held at floating interest rates. To mitigate this impact, ENDESA hedges interest rate risk by entering into derivatives.
  • The entry into operation, before 1 January 2020, of the wind and photovoltaic power that was awarded in the capacity auctions held in 2017 (see Section 2.1. Consolidation Scope of this Consolidated Management Report).
  • The performance of the results and the fair value of the investee companies in which ENDESA has no control and which is recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statements using the equity method, may have an impact on the results of the second half of 2018. Specifically, the current situation at Nuclenor, S.A. may significantly impact these companies’ results.
  • ENDESA is also involved in a number of legal proceedings which, when resolved, may impact the Consolidated Financial Statements. Information concerning litigations and arbitrations is included in Note 17.3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2017 and Note 12.2 of the Explanatory Notes that form part of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2018.
  • ENDESA’s activities are subject to extensive regulation, and regulatory changes could have an adverse impact on its business activities, results, financial position and cash flows (see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2017 and Section 3. Regulatory Framework in this Consolidated Management Report).

6. Information on related-party transactions.

Information concerning related-party transactions is included in Note 20 of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the six months ended 30 June 2018.

7. Other information.

There were no one-off events involving significant amounts during the first half of 2018 other than those discussed herein.

Therefore, during the first half of 2018 no new significant contingent liabilities arose other than those described in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2017.

Information on lawsuits, arbitration proceedings and contingent assets is included in Note 12.2 of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the six months ended 30 June 2018.

8. Events after the reporting period

Information concerning events after the reporting period is included in Note 23 of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the six months ended 30 June 2018.
