PRESS RELEASE
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF ENEL AMÉRICAS GROUP
AS OF SEPTEMBER 2020
(numbers expressed in millions of US dollars)
· | Cumulative revenues as of September decreased by 19.4% as compared to the same period of last year reaching US$ 8,521 million explained mainly by lower revenues in the four countries where we operate. In quarterly terms, comparing the 3rd quarter of 2020 and the 3rd quarter of 2019, we can see a fall of 15.8 % to US$2,820 million. |
In cumulative terms, the fall is mainly explained by lower revenues in Brazil and Argentina due to the extraordinary recognition of US$ 248 million last year because of the agreement signed between Edesur and the Argentine State for outstanding claims. Added to this is the impact of currency devaluation of US$ 495 million in the 4 countries and a reduction in demand due to COVID-19. In quarterly terms, the lower revenues are mainly explained by Brazil, mainly affected by the devaluation of the Brazilian Real.
· | In cumulative terms EBITDA decreased by 26.1 % reaching US$ 2,196 million, explained mainly by the above-mentioned 2019 extraordinary effect in Argentina, a lower EBITDA in Brazil and the negative impact of currency devaluations. Without the extraordinary 2019 effect and isolating the exchange rate effect, EBITDA would have decreased by 1.1%. |
· | In quarterly terms, we can see a 19.5 % drop reaching a US$ 725 million EBITDA, mainly explained by the fall in Brazil mostly from the exchange rate effect and to a lesser extent in Colombia and Peru. Without these effects, EBITDA would have fallen by 2% during the quarter. |

§ | Cumulative Operating Income (EBIT) decreased by 36.0 % as of September and 30.7% during the quarter, reaching US$ 1,383 million and US$ 481 million respectively, mainly explained by the fall of EBITDA. |
§ | Cumulative Net Income attributable to the parent company reached US$ 487 million, 40.8% less than in the same period of 2019. At a quarterly level, the fall was 31.6%. In both cases it is explained by lower operating performance, partially offset by better financial results and lower tax payments. |
1 |
· | Net financial debt reached US$ 4,244 million, 1.0% less than at the end of 2019, mainly explained by decreases in Enel Sao Paulo, Emgesa and Enel Río, offset in part by an increase in Enel Américas holding. The decrease is mainly explained by the devaluation of currencies, reaching an impact of US$ 1,188 million at the level of gross debt. |
· | CAPEX for the first the nine months reached US$ 981 million, 8.9% less than in the same period of the previous year, explained mainly by the effect of currency devaluations. Apart from said effect, CAPEX increased by US$ 93 million, largely explained by investment increases in distribution companies in Brazil and Codensa. |
· | CAPEX for the quarter reached US$ 381 million, 2.4% more than in the 3rd quarter of 2019. If we put aside the exchange rate effect, CAPEX increased by 25% or US$ 93 million mainly due to increases in distribution companies in Brazil, especially Enel Goiás. |
· | As for the current situation arising from COVID -19, in the third quarter we saw a recovery in terms of demand and collectability in relation to the previous quarter. The impact from COVID-19 during the quarter was US$ 195 million at EBITDA level, considering both the Distribution and Generation businesses. Our Company continues to do its best to maintain its operations, protect its workers and assist the community with various solidarity measures. |

SUMMARY BY BUSINESS SEGMENT
Generation
The generation business segment registered a 16.0% decrease in EBITDA as compared to the same period of the previous year, reaching US$ 994 million. This is explained by lower results in the 4 countries especially in Brazil due to lower energy sales. Added to this is the US$ 164 million effect of currency devaluations with a negative impact. Isolating this effect, EBITDA would have fallen by 3.4% in relation to the previous year.
In quarterly terms, EBITDA in the 3rd quarter reached US$ 332 million, 11.3% less than in the same period of 2019, due to lower results in Argentina in addition to the exchange rate impact. Isolating the latter effect, EBITDA would have fallen by 5.4%.
Physical Data
9M 2019 | 9M 2020 | Var % | 3Q 2019 | 3Q 2020 | Var % | |
Total Sales (GWh) | 54,396 | 49,378 | (9.2%) | 19,548 | 17,583 | (10.1%) |
Total Generation (GWh) | 31,418 | 30,219 | (3.8%) | 12,140 | 11,050 | (9.0%) |
Distribution
EBITDA in the distribution segment was 31.7 % lower than in the same period of 2019, reaching US$ 1,268 million; explained mainly by the extraordinary regulatory agreement of US$ 248 million signed by Edesur and the Argentine National State for pending claims.
Furthermore, the exchange rate effect had a US$ 341 million negative impact and lower sales were also recorded in the 4 countries. Isolating the one-off event and the exchange rate effect, EBITDA would have maintained flat.
In quarterly terms, EBITDA in the 3rd quarter reached US$ 415 million, 24.8% less than in the 3rd quarter of 2019. Isolating the exchange rate effect EBITDA would have fallen by 0.6%.
The consolidated number of customers showed a 1.8% increase while physical sales fell by 5.7% during the semester and 4.5% during the quarter.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
The Company’s available liquidity has remained strong, as shown below:
• Cash and cash equivalents US$ 1,605 million
• Cash and cash equiv. + cash investments over 90 days US$ 1,687 million
• Available committed lines of credit * US$ 817 million
(*) Includes two lines of committed credits between related parties. One of them for US$ 142 million of Enel Brasil with EFI and fully available and another for US$ 150 million of Enel Américas with EFI and fully used.
The average nominal interest rate in September 2020 decreased to 4.8% from 7.3% during the same period of the previous year, primarily affected by lower debt costs in Brazil as a result of the payment linked with the purchase of Enel Distribución Sao Paulo, better rate conditions in debt refinancing in Brazil, Colombia, Peru and the Holding and a reduction in rates associated with variable debt rates in Brazil.
Hedging and protection:
To mitigate the financial risks associated with foreign exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations, Enel Américas S.A. has established policies and procedures aimed at protecting its financial statements against the volatility of these variables.
· Enel Américas S.A. (consolidated) foreign exchange rate risk hedging policy establishes that there must be a balance between the index currency of the flows generated by each company and the currency in which they assume any type of debt. Therefore, the Enel Américas Group has entered into cross currency swaps of US$ 590 million and forwards of US$ 326 million.
· | To reduce the volatility of the financial statements stemming from interest rate changes, Enel Américas Group keeps an adequate debt structure balance. To achieve the above, we have entered into interest rate swaps totaling US$ 142 million. |

· | Enel Generación Costanera’s operating revenues decreased by US$ 65 million, or 41.2%, in relation to the same period of the year before. The decrease is mainly explained by: (i) US$ 30 million from lower revenues as a result of the devaluation of the Argentine peso against the US dollar; (ii) US$ 37 million lower sales revenue, mainly due to lower energy sales (-256 GWh) as a result of Resolution No. 12/2019, applicable as of 2020, which established that fuel supply be provided once again by CAMMESA. This was partially offset by US$ 2 million in higher other sales due to the application of new Resolution No. 31/2020, applicable as of February 2020, which established that the values of energy and power must be collected in Argentine pesos, using the exchange rate against US dollar in force at the billing date. |
· | Enel Generación Costanera’s operating costs decreased by US$ 44 million which is explained mainly by: (i) US$ 40 million in lower gas consumptions as a result of the application of Resolution No. 12/2019, mentioned above; (ii) US$ 2 million due to lower variable costs in Cammesa as a result of lower market activity and (ii) US$ 2 million as a result of the devaluation of the Argentine peso. |

· | The other expenses by nature increased by US$ 3 million, mainly for higher unscheduled maintenance costs of the combined cycle totaling US$ 8 million, offset by US$ 5 million as a result of the devaluation of the Argentine peso against the US dollar. |
11 |
In relation to the 3rd quarter of 2020, EBITDA of our subsidiary Costanera reached US$ 15 million, representing a US$ 10 million decrease as compared to the same quarter of the previous year.

· | Dock Sud’s operating revenues decreased by US$ 27 million, or 37%, in September 2020, in relation to the same period of the year before, which is explained by (i) US$ 15 million in lower revenues, as a result of the devaluation of the Argentine peso against the US dollar; (ii) US$ 14 million in lower revenues, mainly due to the effects of Resolution No. 12/2019, applicable from 2020, which established that the fuel supply must be provided once again by CAMMESA; and (iii) US$ 5 million less in other revenues for the compensation related to a claim in the TG09 turbine recorded during the first half of 2019. This was partially offset by higher energy sales of US$ 7 million (+328 GWh). |

This was partially offset by (i) a US$ 31 million increase due to the increased revenue from the recognition of 2019 investments, which are paid at a higher rate and (ii) US$ 12 million related to better average sale prices, despite lower physical sales of (-504 GWh) due to the COVID-19 impact; (iii) a US$ 9 million increase from the increased revenue for the recognition of the Administration, Operation and Maintenance (AOM), for loss management according to the new CREG 189 resolution from December 2019; and (iv) a US$ 16 million increase mainly for better credit card margins as of November 2019 and related to the start of the new Open Book model with Colpatria. |
· | Operating costs decreased by US$ 68 million or 9.5% as of September 2020 and are mainly explained by US$ 93 million from lower conversion effects due to the devaluation of the Colombian peso against the US dollar. This was partially offset by (i) a US$ 3 million increase in energy purchases, originating mainly in higher average energy prices, stemming from low water reserves in the first half of 2020; (ii) a US$ 15 million increase in energy transport costs caused by the incorporation of new construction units into the national transmission system (STN); and (iii) US$ 7 million in higher costs of other supplies and services mainly for regulatory contributions, higher taxes, line connections and maintenance charges. |
· Staff costs decreased by US$ 1 million and are mainly explained by the US$ 5 million devaluation of the Colombian peso against the US dollar, partially offset by US$ 4 million in increased wage adjustment expenses and additional benefits under the Collective Agreement.
· Other expenses by nature decreased by US$ 1 million, mainly due to the conversion effects stemming from the devaluation of the Colombian peso against the US dollar of US$ 11 million offset by US$ 10 million mainly from third party service costs for line and network maintenance and other services.

In quarterly terms, the EBITDA of our distribution segment in Colombia reached US$ 122 million in the third quarter of 2020, recording a decrease of US$10 million compared to the third quarter of 2019, mainly explained by (i) US$ 14 million the devaluation of the Colombian peso against the US dollar, (ii) a US$ 14 million decrease in energy sales explained by lower demand for energy consumption, due to the COVID pandemic; (iii) US$ 7 million increase in transportation costs caused by the incorporation of new construction units into the national transmission system (STN) and (iv) US$ 7 million increase in other fixed IT service costs and increased costs services to customers. This was partially offset by (i) US$ 4 million lower costs of other supplies and services mainly for the deferral of the special contribution to the Superintendency of Home Public Services (SSPD), (ii) US$ 28 million increase in other services due to higher investment recognition revenue for 2019 of US$ 20 million, US$ 3 million AOM recognition for loss management and a US$ 5 million increase for better margin of credit cards - new Open Book model with Colpatria.

Depreciation, amortization, and impairment reached US$ 813 million for the nine-month period ended on September 30, 2020, practically in line with the same period in 2019. This variation is mainly explained by:
· Depreciation and amortization reached US$ 634 million, representing a US$ 35 million decrease as compared to September 2019.

- At the same time, impairment losses due to the application of IFRS 9 on financial assets reached US$ 179 million as of September 2020, representing a US$ 35 million increase as compared to the same period of the previous year, which is explained by a higher cumulated debt as consequence of COVID-19, highlighting the following: US$ 39 million in Enel Distribución Sao Paulo, US$ 21 million in Enel Distribución Ceará and US$ 9 million in Codensa. This is partially offset by the conversion effects of the Brazilian real and Colombian peso against the US dollar totaling US$ 34 million.
In relation to the 3rd quarter of 2020, depreciation, amortization, and impairment totaled US$ 245 million, recording a US$ 37 million increase as compared to the same quarter in 2019. This variation is mainly explained by:
· A US$ 19 million increase in depreciation and amortization in: (i) distribution companies in Brazil of US$ 13 million, which is mainly explained by the conversion effects resulting from the devaluation of the Brazilian real against the US dollar of US$ 20 million, offset by a US$ 7 million increase in amortization, and (ii) in Argentina our generation subsidiaries of US$ 6 million, which is mainly explained by the conversion effects resulting from the devaluation of the Argentine peso.

II. MAIN RISKS RELATED TO THE ACTIVITIES OF ENEL AMÉRICAS SA GROUP
The Group’s operations are subject to a broad set of governmental regulations, and any changes introduced in them might affect their operations, economic situation and operating income.
The Group’s operative subsidiaries are subject to a wide range of tariff regulations and other aspects that govern their operations in the countries in which they operate. Consequently, the introduction of new laws or regulations, such as the modification of laws or regulations currently in effect, could impact their operations, economic situation, and operating results.
Such new laws or regulations sometimes modify regulatory aspects that may affect existing entitlements; which, as the case might be, may adversely affect the group’s future results.
The Group’s activities are subject to wide-ranging environmental regulations that Enel Américas continuously complies with. Eventual modifications introduced to such regulations could impact its operations, economic situation and operating income.
Enel Américas and its operative subsidiaries are subject to environmental regulations; which, among other things, require preparing and submitting 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 Américas cannot guarantee that:
Ø | Public authorities will approve such environmental impact studies. |
Ø | Public opposition will not derive in delays or modifications to any proposed project. |
Ø | Laws or regulations will not be modified or interpreted in a manner such as to increase expenses or affect the Group’s operations, plants, or plans. |
The Group’s Commercial activity has been planned to moderate eventual impacts resulting from changes in the hydrologic conditions.
Enel Américas Group’s operations include hydroelectric generation and, therefore, they depend on the hydrological conditions that exist at each moment in the broad geographical areas where the Group’s hydroelectric generation facilities are located. If the hydrological conditions generate droughts or other conditions that may negatively impact hydroelectric generation, then, the outcome will be adversely affected, reason why Enel has established -as an essential part of its commercial policy - to refrain from contractually committing 100% of its generation capacity. The electric business, in turn, is also affected by atmospheric conditions such as mean temperatures that condition consumption.
Depending on weather conditions, differences may arise in the margins obtained by the business.

The financial situation and result of the operations may be adversely affected if the exposure to interest rate fluctuations, commodity prices and foreign exchange rates are not effectively managed.
RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY
The companies that are part of the Enel Américas Group are exposed to certain risks managed through the application of systems of identification, measurement, limitation of concentration and supervision.
Among the basic principles defined by the Group when establishing risk management policies are the following:
o | Compliance with the good corporate governance standards. |
o | Strictly compliance with the Group’s whole regulatory system |
o | Each business and corporate area define: |
I. | Markets in which to operate based on sufficient knowledge and capabilities to guarantee effective risk management. |
II. | Counterpart criteria. |
III. | Authorized operators. |
- | For each market in which they operate business and corporate areas establish their predisposition to risk consistent with the defined strategy. |
- | All operations of corporate areas and business operate within the limits approved in each case. |
- | Business, corporate areas, lines of business and companies establish risk management controls to ensure that markets transactions are carried out in accordance with the policies, standards, and procedures of Enel Américas. |
1.1 Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate fluctuations modify the fair value of those assets and liabilities that accrue a fixed rate of interest, as well as the 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 equilibrium that would enable minimizing debt costs while reducing Income Statement volatility.
Depending on the Group’s estimates and on the objectives of its debt structure, various hedging operations are performed by contracting derivatives to mitigate such risks. The instruments currently used are rate swaps of variable rates to fixed rates.
46 |
The comparative structure of the financial debt of the Enel Américas Group, according to fixed and/or protected and variable rates of interest over total gross debt, after the derivative contracts, is the following:
Gross position
09-30-2020 % | 12-31-2019 % | |
Fixed Interest Rate | 34% | 39% |
Risk control through specific processes and indicators allows to limit potential adverse financial impacts while optimizing the debt structure with an adequate degree of flexibility. Here we can see that the volatility that characterized financial markets during the first phase of the pandemic, in many cases returned to pre-COVID-19 levels and was offset by effective risk mitigation actions through derivative financial instruments.
1.2 Foreign exchange rate risk
Foreign exchange rate risks are primarily inherent to the following transactions:
- | Debt contracted by Group companies denominated in currencies other than those in which their cash flows are indexed. |
- | Payments to be made in currencies other than those in which their cash flows are indexed, for material purchases associated to projects and payment of corporate insurance policy premiums, amongst others. |
- | Income of the Group’s companies directly linked to the fluctuation of currencies other than those of its own cash flows. |
- | Cash flows from foreign subsidiaries to parent companies in Chile exposed to foreign exchange rate variations. |
In order to mitigate the foreign exchange rate risk, the hedging policy of the Enel Américas Group regarding foreign exchange rates is based on cash flows and aims at maintaining a balance between US$-indexed flows, or local currencies if there are any, and the level of assets and liabilities in such currency. The objective is to minimize the exposure of cash flows to foreign exchange rate variations.
The instruments currently used in compliance with the policy are: cross-currency swaps and foreign exchange rate forwards. Similarly, the policy seeks to refinance debt in each company’s operating currency
During the third quarter of 2020, exchange rate risk management continued in the context of compliance with the risk management policy mentioned above, without difficulty accessing the derivatives market. It is worth noticing that the volatility that characterized financial markets during the first phase of the pandemic, in many cases returned to pre-COVID-19 levels and was offset by risk mitigation actions through derivative financial instruments.
47 |
1.3 Commodities risk.
The Enel Américas Group might be exposed to the risk of price variations of certain commodities, primarily through:
- | Fuel purchases in the process of electric energy generation. |
- | Spot energy purchases in local markets. |
In order to reduce the risk under extreme drought conditions, the Group has designed a commercial policy that defines sale commitment levels in line with the capacity of its generating centrals during a dry year, by including risk mitigation clauses in some contracts with free clients. In the case of regulated clients subject to long-term tender processes, indexing polynomials are determined in order to reduce commodity exposure.
In consideration of the operative conditions confronted by the electricity generation market, plus the drought and commodity price volatility in international markets, the Company is continuously checking the convenience of hedging the impact of these price variations in its income.
As of September 30, 2020, there are no operations in place whose aim is to hedge portfolio contracts.
As of December 31, 2019, 5.28 GWh in energy futures purchases have been settled in order to hedge portfolio contracts.
Thanks to the mitigation strategies implemented, the Group was able to minimize the effects of commodity price volatility in the third quarter 2020 results.
1.4 Liquidity Risk
The Group maintains a liquidity policy that consists in contracting long-term credit commitment facilities and temporary financial investments for amounts sufficient to support the projected needs of a given period; which, in turn, is a function of the overall situation and expectations of the debt and capital markets.
The above-mentioned projected needs include maturities of net financial debt; namely, after financial derivatives. For additional information regarding the characteristics and the terms and conditions of such financial debt and financial derivatives (see notes 20 and 23).
As of September 30, 2020, the Enel Américas Group held a liquidity position of MUS$ 1,605,306 in cash and other equivalents. As of December 31, 2019, the Enel Américas Group’s liquidity position totaled MUS$ 1,938,997 in cash and cash equivalents and MUS$ 706,000 in unconditionally available long-term lines of credit.

1.5 Credit Risk
The Enel Américas Group monitors its credit risks continuously and in detail.
Commercial accounts receivable:
In relation to the credit risks of accounts receivable from commercial activities, this is a risk that has been historically quite limited since the short collection term afforded our clients prevents significant individual accumulation. The foregoing is applied to both our electricity generation and distribution lines of business.
In our electricity generation line of business, in certain countries, when confronted to payment defaults it is possible to cut off supply, and almost every contract establishes non-payment as a cause for contract termination. To that effect, we continuously monitor the credit risk and measure the maximum amounts exposed to payment risk, which, as said earlier, are limited.
In the case of our electricity distribution companies, cutting access to electricity, in all cases, is the attribution of our companies in case of payment default on part of our customers, which is applied in accordance with the regulations in force in each country, which facilitates the process of evaluation and control of credit risk, which by the way is also limited.
Assets of a financial nature:
Cash surpluses are invested in top domestic and foreign financial institutions with pre-established limits per institution.
In our selection of banks for investments, we consider those ranked with investment grade according to the three top international risk classification agencies (Moody’s, S&P and Fitch).
Our placements may be backed up with treasury bonds of those countries in which we operate and/or bank notes issued by top banks, preferring the latter since they offer better returns (always framed within current placement policies).
It should be noted that downward macroeconomic scenarios due to the COVID-19 effect did not have a significant impact on the quality of commercial receivables. In particular, the results of specific internal analyses have shown that there is no statistical correlation between the main economic indicators (GDP, unemployment rate, etc.) and the solvency.
49 |
1.6 Risk Management
The Enel Américas Group prepares a Value at Risk measurement for its own debt positions and financial derivatives, with the purpose of monitoring the risk assumed 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.
- Derivatives for debt hedging
The calculated Value at Risk represents the possible value variation of the above-described positions portfolio within one quarter and with 95% confidence. To that effect we have studied the volatility of the risk variables that affect the value of the position’s portfolio, which includes:
- The USS Libor rate of interest.
- | The various currencies in which our companies operate, the habitual local indices of bank practices. |
- The exchange rates of the different currencies implied in the calculation.
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 variations.
Considering the scenarios described above the Risk Value in a quarter, of the above-mentioned positions, corresponds to MUS$ 266,000
This value represents the potential increase in the debt and derivatives portfolio, therefore this value at risk is intrinsically related, among other factors, to the value of the portfolio at the end of each quarter.

III. BOOK VALUE AND ECONOMIC VALUE OF ASSETS
In relation to the assets of higher importance, the following should be noted:
Real estate properties, plant and equipment are valued at their purchasing cost, net of their corresponding accumulated depreciation and losses experienced on account of depreciation. Real estate properties, plant and equipment, net of their residual value, as the case might be, are depreciated lineally by distributing the cost of their different integral elements over their estimated useful life, which is the period during which the companies expect to use them. Such useful life estimate is reviewed periodically.
The goodwill (lower value of investments or commercial funds) generated in the consolidation exercise 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 shareholdings identifiable in a subsidiary company as of the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather, at the closing of each fiscal year it is estimated whether it has been the subject of any depreciation that might reduce its recoverable value for an amount below its registered net cost, in which case its value is restated accordingly. (See Note 3.e of the Financial Statements).
Throughout the year and, primarily at its closing date, an evaluation is performed to determine whether there is any indication that any given asset would have possibly suffered a loss due to impairment. Should there be such an indication, we estimate the recoverable amount of such asset in order to determine, as the case might be, the amount of such impairment. If these are identifiable assets that do not generate independent cash flows, we then estimate the recoverability of the cash generating unit to which such asset belongs, understanding as such the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates independent cash inflows.
Foreign-currency-denominated assets are shown at their rate of exchange at the closing of the period.
Notes and accounts receivable from related companies are classified according to their short and long-term maturities. Operations adhere to fair conditions similar to those that prevail in the market.
In short, assets are valued pursuant to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), whose criteria are set forth in Notes No. 2 and 3 of these Enel Américas’ Consolidated Financial Statements.
