SUMMARY OF RESULTS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER 2022

Edenor has operating losses, however, it maintains its quality of electricity service.

In millon of Pesos 9 Months 3Q 
in constant purchising power 2022 2021 Δ% 2022 2021 Δ%
Revenue from sales 135,797 147,892 (8%) 47,454 53,430 (11%)
Adjusted EBITDA (6,789) 11,214 (161%) (2,703) 5,667 (148%)
Net income (18,107) (24,418) (26%) (6,082) (1,105) 450%
Capital expenditures 16,802 18,935 (11%) 7,102 6,866 3%

Revenues from sales decreased by 11%, reaching AR$ 47,454 million in 3Q22 in real terms, accumulating a decrease of 8% during the first 9 months. This was mainly due to tariff delay, inflation and increased operating costs.

EBITDA had a negative result of AR$ 2,703 million. During the first 9 months of 2022, it accumulates a negative result of ARS 6,789 million. The difference can be explained by a decrease in sales revenues, as a consequence of a tariff freeze, an increase in operating costs, partially offset by an improvement in energy losses.

Net results accumulated losses for AR$ 6,082 million in 3Q22. If we analyze the accumulated net result as of September 30, 2022, losses decreased by 26% compared to the same period of last year.

During the third quarter of the year, there was a higher loss in the operating income, higher financial losses mainly due to the deferral of the payment of obligations with the Wholesale Electricity Market and a higher result for exposure to changes in purchasing power (RECPAM) compared to the same period in 2021.

During the first 9 months of 2022, investments reached AR$ 16,802 million. They were reduced by 11 % in real terms compared to those made during the same period in 2021.

At the end of September 2022, collection of trade receivables was 97%, the defaulting balance amounted to 9,479 million pesos, and general customer satisfaction was 88,8%.

On October 25th, 2022 Edenor completed its cancellation and voluntary exchange of the Financial Debt of Class 9 Senior Notes of 9.75% for a total of USD 98.05 million.

The operation included a debt exchange which was supported by 77,35% bondholders (USD 75.855.000), in two steps, by which new Senior Notes Class 1- NY Law were issued for the exchange for a total of USD 55.244.538, maturing in May 2025. They were listed on SVS panel in BYMA as a social bond.

In addition, Senior Notes Class 2 were issued for USD 30.000.000 hard dollar under Argentine Law on September 22nd,2022, maturing in November 2024.

Revenues from sales

Revenues from sales decreased by 11 % to AR$ 47,454 million in 3Q22, against AR$ 53,430 million in 3Q21. This is mainly due to the tariff delay in an inflationary context partially offset by the increase of volume levels of energy sold.

Energy purchases

Energy purchases increased by 5% to AR$ 32,724 million in 3Q22, against AR$ 31,135 million for the same period in 2021. The reference seasonal price for residential customers is still subsidized by the Federal Government.

Gross Margin

The gross margin corresponding to 3Q22 was AR$ 14,730 million, which represents a fall of 34% compared to the same period of the previous year. The accumulated gross margin as of September 30th, 2022 was AR$ 44,263 million, which represents a fall of 23% compared to the same period of the previous year, mainly due to the tariff delay in an inflationary context partially offset by the increase in volume levels of energy sold.

By means of Resolution No. 313/2022, the ENRE approved the Tariff Scheme to be applied as of September 1st, 2022 to Level 1 Residential users and other tariff categories of EDENOR. For Levels 2 and 3, the Tariff Scheme provided for in ENRE Resolution No. 222/2022 continues to be in force. At the same time, the VAD increase is still pending.

Volume of Energy Sales

The volume of energy sales increased by 3.2 %, reaching 5,979 GWh in 3Q22, against 5,795 GWh for the same period of 2021.

Furthermore, edenor’s customer base rose by 1.5 % compared to the same period of the previous year, reaching more than 3.2 million of customers, mainly on account of the increase in residential customers and small commercials as a result of the market discipline actions and the installation of 2,137 integrated energy meters during the last quarter that were mainly intended for the regularization of clandestine connections.

Given the tariff delay, our income was highly committed. For these reasons, we have seen the need to partially defer payments to CAMMESA for the energy acquired in the Wholesale Electricity Market as from maturities taking place in March 2020. These obligations have been partially regularized; however, as of September 30, 2022, the overdue principal balance accumulated is ARS 50,946 million, plus interest and penalties in the sum of ARS 54,155 million.

As regards the treatment of the debt accumulated, Decree 88/2022 extended until December 31st, 2022 the implementation of the "Special Regime for the Regularization of Obligations" for the debts maintained by the electricity distributors with CAMMESA, and the "Special Regime of Credits” established by the Secretariat of Energy within the framework of Section 87 of Law No. 27.591 and Resolutions No. 40/21 and 371/21.

Operating expenses accumulated as of September increased by 5 %, reaching ARS 61,867 million during the first nine months in 2022, against AR$ 58,918 million in 2021.

Financial Results

Financial results experienced a loss of ARS 20,615 million in 3Q 2022, which is 130 % higher. This difference is mainly due to higher interest accrued on the debt incurred with CAMMESA.

Net Income

Net income decreased by 450 %, totaling losses for AR$ 6,082 million in 3Q22, against losses AR$ 1,105 million for the same period in 2021. There was a higher loss in the operating income, higher financial charges due to the deferral of the payment of obligations with the Wholesale Electricity Market and a higher positive result for exposure to changes in purchasing power (RECPAM).

EBITDA (6,789) 11,214 (161%) (2,703) 5,667 (148%)

 

EBITDA showed a decrease of 148% in 3Q22, and a decrease of 161% in the accumulated figure of 9 months, compared to the same period of the previous year. This difference is mainly due to the increase in operating costs, where the decrease in gross margin due to the decrease in unrecognized losses and the increase in seasonal prices were not proportional to the increase in VAD.

 

Capital Expenditures

 

During the first 9 months of 2022, edenor´s capital expenditures totaled ARS 16,802 million, against ARS 18,935 million in the same period of 2021, showing a decrease of 11 % in real terms compared to the same period of the previous year.

-Renewal of cables 115/116 Substation PUERTO NUEVO-PI SALGUERO - 4 km - To be put into operation in December 2022.
 

Quality Standards

The investment plan executed in recent years continues to show results that are reflected in a continuous improvement in the quality of service, by reducing the duration and frequency of outages since 2014, and thus exceeding the regulatory requirements set forth.

Quality standards are measured based on the duration and frequency of service outages using SAIDI and SAIFI indicators. SAIDI refers to the duration of outages, and measures the number of outage hours a user experiences per year. SAIFI refers to the frequency of outages, and measures the number of times a user experiences an outage during a year.

At the closing of the third quarter of 2022, SAIDI and SAIFI indicators for the last 12 months were 9.0 hours and 3.7 outages on average per client per year, evidencing a 19% and 13% improvement, respectively, compared to the same period of the previous year. This recovery in service levels is mainly due to the investment plan devised by the Company since 2014, the different improvements implemented in the operating processes, and the adoption of technology applied to the grid´s operation and management.

Energy Losses

In 3Q22, energy losses experienced a 17.7 % decrease, against 18,8 % for the same period of the previous year.

The works of multidisciplinary teams to develop new solutions to energy losses continued, as well as Market Discipline (DIME) actions aiming to reduce them. Analytical and artificial intelligence tools were used to enhance effectiveness in the routing of inspections, and DIME actions continued with the objective of detecting and normalizing irregular connections, fraud and energy theft.

In addition, during the period from July to September 2022, 97,188 inspections of Tariff 1 (Residential and General users) were conducted with a 54.6 % efficiency, while for the same period of the previous year 122,306 inspections had been conducted with a 45.2%. efficiency. Moreover, 15,045 Integrated Energy Meters (MIDE) were installed during 2022.

Regarding the recovery of energy, besides the normalization of customers with MIDE meters, clandestine customers with conventional meters were also put back to normal. Moreover, a new energy balance system was implemented, as well as the development of micro-balances in private neighborhoods. In all cases, a rate of recidivism in fraud has been observed.

Indebtedness

As of September 30, 2022, the outstanding principal of our dollar-denominated financial debt amounts to $ 78 million, whereas the cash position net of financial debt amounts to $ -197 million.

On October 25th, 2022, Edenor completed its cancellation and voluntary exchange of the Financial Debt of Class 9 Senior Notes of 9.75% for a total of USD 98.05 million.

The operation included a debt exchange which was supported by 77,35% bondholders (USD 75.855.000), in two steps, by which new Senior Notes Class 1- NY Law were issued for the exchange for a total of USD 55.244.538, maturing in May 2025. They were listed on SVS (Social, Green and Sustainable in English) panel in BYMA as a social bond.

In addition, Senior Notes Class 2 were issued for USD 30.000.000 hard dollar under Argentine Law on September 22nd,2022, maturing in November 2024.

The financial debt consists exclusively of Senior Notes maturing in November 2024 and May 2025.

The terms and conditions of Class 9 Senior Notes due 2022 and Class 1 Senior Notes due 2025 impose restrictions on the Company´s ability to go into debt.

Such terms and conditions provide that the Company may not incur new Indebtedness, except for certain Permitted Indebtedness or when the Indebtedness ratio is greater than 3.75 or less than 0 and the Financial Expenses Coverage ratio is less than 2.

As of September 30th, 2022, the values of the ratios indicated above do not meet the established parameters.

This situation does not trigger any Payment Default Event and the Company may incur in certain Permitted Indebtedness as established in the terms and conditions of the Notes (including the refinancing of its outstanding Notes)

 

Sustainability

 

At Edenor, we are committed to the Sustainable Development Goals. We especially make concrete and measurable contributions to 3 of these goals: Affordable and Clean Energy, Quality Education and Gender Equality.

Edenor presented at BYMA the first indicators report corresponding to its first Social Bond (N1 Class), available on our website and on BYMA website.
