SUMMARY OF RESULTS FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER 2022

In millon of Pesos 12 months  4Q
in constant purchising power 2022 2021 Δ% 2022 2021 ΔARS Δ%
Revenue from sales 205,835 221,091 (7%) 46,554 47,624   (2%)
 EBITDA 6,114 10,057 n/a 14,074 (3,096)   n/a

Capital expenditures 33,900 31,653 7% 7,102 6,866   3%

Revenues from sales decreased by 2%, reaching AR$ 46,554 million in 4Q22 in real terms, accumulating a 7% decrease during the year 2022. This was mainly due to tariff delay, inflation and increased operating costs.

EBITDA had a positive result of AR$ 14,074 million. During 2022, it accumulates a positive result of AR$ 6,114 million. The difference is explained by a decrease in sales revenue, as a result of a tariff freeze, an increase in operating costs, partially offset by an improvement in energy losses and a gain of ARS18,136 due to the compensation with the Agreement with CAMMESA

Net results accumulated losses for AR$ 14,368 million in 4Q22. If we analyze the accumulated net result as of December 30, 2022, losses decreased by 11% compared to the same period of last year.

During the fourth 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 2022, investments reached AR$ 33,900 million. They increased by 7% in real terms compared to those made during the same period in 2021.

By year end 2022, collection of trade receivables was 97.65%, the defaulting balance amounted to 9,367 million pesos, and general customer satisfaction was 89,3%.

On October 25, 2022, the company completed the cancellation and voluntary exchange of 9.75% Class 9 Corporate Bonds Financial Debt, for a total of USD 98.05 million.

The operation included a debt exchange that had the support of 77.35% of the holders (USD 75,855,000), in two stages, through which new Class 1 Corporate Bonds (under NY Law) were issued for the part in kind, for a total of USD 55,244,538, which expires on May 2025.

In turn, on September 22, Series 2 was issued for USD 30,000,000 (hard dollar under Argentine Law), with maturity date November 2024. As a result of the above, the corporate debt horizon was resolved.

Revenues from sales

Revenues from sales decreased by 2 % to AR$ 46,554 million in 4Q22, against AR$ 47,624 million in 4Q21. This is mainly due to the tariff delay in an inflationary context partially offset by the volume levels of energy sold.

Energy purchases

The accumulated gross margin as of December 31, 2022 was AR$ 62,607 million, which represents a fall of 26% compared to the same period of the previous year, mainly due to the tariff delay in an inflationary context partially offset by the volume levels of energy sold.

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 fourth quarter of 2022, SAIDI and SAIFI indicators for the last 12 months were 8.6 hours and 3.6 outages on average per client per year, registering records levels and 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 4Q22, energy losses experienced a 15.6 % decrease, against 16,6 % 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 October to December 2022, 83,141 inspections of Tariff 1 (Residential and General users) were conducted with a 56.5 % efficiency, while for the same period of the previous year 123,486 inspections had been conducted with a 45.1%. efficiency. Moreover, 15,086 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.
