EBITDA = Income - Procurements and services + Work carried out by the Group for its assets - Personnel expenses - Other fixed operating
expenses.

(4) EBIT = EBITDA - Depreciation and amortisation, and impairment losses.

EBITDA in January-September 2017 totalled Euros 2,548 million, a decrease of 11.2% (Euros 321 million) compared to the same period in the previous year.

The following factors must be taken into account when looking at EBITDA for the first nine months of 2017:

  • Higher cost of energy purchases (+26.5%) primarily resulting from increased electricity prices on the wholesale market, whose cumulative arithmetic mean price was at Euros 50.3/MWh (+47.9%).
  • Increased fuel consumption (+46.5%) arising from greater thermal production in the period and higher fuel prices, together with the consequentially increased tax on the value of electricity production.
  • The contribution of ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE) in the first nine months amounting to Euros 124 million (Euros 24 million in the same period of the previous year from the date control was taken on 27 July 2016) (see Section 2.2. Scope of Consolidation, of this Consolidated Management Report).

The EBIT for January-September 2017 was Euros 1,476 million, a 18.5% decrease (Euros 335 million) compared with the same period in the previous year, primarily as a result of the 11.2% contraction in EBITDA.

During the first nine months of 2017, the item "Depreciation and amortisation, and impairment losses" posted an increase of Euros 14 million (+1.3%), amounting to Euros 1,072 million, and includes, among other factors, the contribution of the full consolidation of ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE) amounting to Euros 81 million (Euros 23 million in the same period the previous year since the take-over on July 27, 2016).

During the period, ENDESA also re-evaluated the useful service life of assets in operation, resulting in the modification of the depreciation policy for its hydro, wind and solar power facilities, which in turn reduced the depreciation expense for the first nine months of by Euros 57 million.

1.2.1. Revenues.

Accumulated mainland electricity demand increased by 0.5% year-on-year in the first nine months of 2017 (+1.0% adjusted for working days and temperature). Electricity demand in Non-mainland Territories closed out the first nine months 2017 with a 3.1% increase in the Balearic Islands and a 1.9% increase in the Canary Islands compared with January-September 2016 (+1.9% and +1.7% respectively, corrected for the effect of working days and temperature).

January-September 2017 featured higher prices, putting the cumulative arithmetic mean price on the wholesale market at Euros 50.3/MWh (+47.9%) due mainly to reduced wind and hydroelectric production. The contribution of renewable energies to total mainland production during the period was 35.7%.

In this environment, ENDESA's mainland electricity production under the ordinary arrangement during the first nine months of 2017 was 45,887 GWh, i.e., 13.4% higher than the first nine months of 2016 as detailed below: combined cycle plants (+5,852 GWh, +139.3%), coal-fired plants (+15,870 GWh, +34.5%), nuclear power plants (+19,967 GWh, -0.1%) and hydroelectric power plants (+4,198 GWh, -32.5%).

Nuclear and hydroelectric technologies accounted for 52.7% of ENDESA's mainland generation mix under the ordinary arrangement, compared with 53.8% for the rest of the sector (64.8% and 68.9% respectively in the first nine months of 2016).

ENDESA's production in January-September 2017 through renewable technologies other than hydroelectric was 2,533 GWh and production in non-mainland territories was 9,821 GWh (+3.9%).

At 30 September 2017, ENDESA has a 38.6% market share in electricity generation under the ordinary arrangement, a 44.3% share in electricity distributed, 35.5% in sales to deregulated customers and 3.5% in generation using renewable technologies (not including hydroelectric generation).

During the first nine months of 2017, gas demand was 9.3% higher than the same period in the previous year and at 30 September 2017, ENDESA's market share had reached 17.1% for sales to customers in the deregulated market.

Revenues in the first nine months totalled Euros 14,824 million, Euros 717 million (+5.1%) higher than revenues posted in the same period in the previous year. Of this amount, turnover accounted for Euros 14,449 million (+6.2%), while other operating income accounted for Euros 375 million (-25.9%).

The table below shows the breakdown of sales and other operating income of ENDESA’s businesses in the first nine months of 2017 and changes compared with the same period in the previous year:

Electricity sales to deregulated market customers.

ENDESA tallied 5,577,599 customers in the deregulated market as of 30 September 2017, which is a 2.9% increase compared with the number of customers at 31 December 2016: 4,598,778 (+2.1%) in the Spanish mainland market, 779,559 (+4.8%) in the non-mainland territories market and 199,262 (+14.4%) in other deregulated European markets.

ENDESA's net sales to these customers rose to 62,774 GWh in the first nine months of 2017, an increase of 4.3% compared with the first nine months of 2016.

In economic terms, sales in the Spanish deregulated market during the first nine months of 2017 amounted to Euros 6,354 million, an increase of Euros 116 million (+1.9%) compared with the first nine months of 2016, due to the increase in physical units sold.

Further, in January-September 2017, revenues from sales to customers in European deregulated markets other than Spain totalled Euros 780 million, an increase of Euros 62 million (+8.6%) compared with January-September 2016 due mainly to the increase in electricity volumes sold in Portugal.

Electricity sales at regulated prices.

ENDESA sold 9,686 GWh through its reference supplier company in the first nine months of 2017, 7.8% less than the January-September period in 2016.

These sales generated revenues of Euros 1,845 million in the first nine months of 2017, which is 3.0% higher than the figure in the first nine months of 2016 as a result of the increased sales prices, which offset the reduction in physical units sold.

Gas sales.

ENDESA had 1,302,994 gas customers in the deregulated market as of 30 September 2017, which is a 2.1% increase compared with the number of customers at 31 December 2016.

ENDESA sold 58,957 GWh to customers in the natural gas market in the first nine months of 2017, which represents a 4.7% rise on nine-month 2016 figure.

In economic terms, revenue from gas sales during the first nine months of 2017 amounted to Euros 1,597 million, an increase of Euros 101 million (+6.8%) compared with the first nine months of 2016, primarily due to the increase in physical units sold.

Non-mainland territories - Compensations

During the first nine months of 2017, compensations for extra-costs of non-mainland territories generation amounted to Euros 933 million, representing an increase of Euros 193 million (+26.1%) compared to the first nine months of 2016, primarily because of the increase in production and sales, and fuel costs due to commodity prices.

Electricity distribution.

During the first nine months of 2017, ENDESA distributed 88,864 GWh in the Spanish market, which is a 1.8% increase compared with the same period in 2016.

Regulated revenue from distribution during the first nine months of 2017 totalled Euros 1,541 million, in line with the amount posted for the first nine months of 2016 (+0.3%).

Other operating income.

In January-September 2017, the amount for other operating income was Euros 375 million, which is Euros 131 million (-25.9%) lower than the amount posted for the first nine months of 2016.

In the first nine months of 2017, there was a reduction of Euros 95 million (-44.1%) in revenue from the valuation and liquidation of fuel stock derivatives compared to the same period in the previous year, which is partly offset with less expenses from the valuation and liquidation of fuel stock derivatives of Euros 65 million (-27.9%) posted under “Other Variable Procurements and Services”.

1.2.2. Operating expenses.

Operating expenses in January-September 2017 were Euros 13,496 million, which is a 9.0% increase compared to the same period the previous year.

The table below shows the detail of ENDESA’s operating expenses in the first nine months of 2017 and variations compared with the same period in the previous year:

The first nine months of 2017 include the operating expenses of ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE) amounting to Euros 163 million
(Euros 40 million correspond to operating expenses in the same period of the previous year since the date on which control was taken; 27 July
2016) (see Section 2.2. Scope of Consolidation, of this Consolidated Management Report).

Procurements and services (variable costs).

The breakdown of procurements and services among ENDESA’s businesses during the first nine months of 2017 and changes with respect to the same period in the previous year are as follows:

Millions of Euros
    Procurements and Services (3)

(Euros 5 million correspond to procurements and services in the same period of the previous year since the date on which control was taken; 27
July 2016) (see Section 2.2. Scope of Consolidation, of this Consolidated Management Report).

(2) Structure, services and adjustments.
(3) Procurements and services = Energy purchases + Fuel consumption + Transmission expenses + Other variable procurements and services.

Procurements and services (variable costs) totalled Euros 10,818 million in the first nine months of 2017, 10.7% more than in the same period the previous year.

The performance of these costs in January-September 2017 was as follows:

  • Energy purchases increased by Euros 771 million (+26.5%) to Euros 3,680 million, primarily because of the increase in the cumulative arithmetic mean price in the wholesale electricity market, Euros 50.3/MWh (+47.9%), and gas acquired for sale to the end customer.
  • Fuel consumption amounted to Euros 1,653 million, with an increase of 46.5% (Euros 525 million) due higher thermal output in the period and an increase in the average purchase price.
  • The heading “Other Variable Procurements and Services” amounted to Euros 1,292 million, a decrease of Euros 20 million (-1.5%) compared with the same period in 2016. This variation was primarily due to:
    • The lower expense recognised for the Social Bonus (Euros 142 million) in accordance with the Supreme Court order relating to the enactment of the judgement submitted by ENDESA in relation to its obligations to pay to the Electricity System the entire quantity paid by ENDESA, S.A. for the Social Bonus in 2015 and 2016.
    • The Euros 83 million increase in the electricity production tax because of the increased production during the period, of which Euros 14 million correspond to ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE).
    • The Euros 65 million decrease (-27.9%) in expenses for fuel stock derivatives, offset partially by a Euros 95 million reduction in income in this connection (-44.1%), which is recognised under “Other operating income”, due mainly to trends in the measurement and settlement of gas derivatives.
    • An increase of Euros 62 million in the Autonomous Community of Catalonia nuclear taxes, bearing in mind that, in the first nine months of 2016, the tax then prevailing was regularised for the amount of Euros 63 million, following the ruling handed down by the Constitutional Court on 20 April 2016 declaring it to be unconstitutional.
    • The Euros 28 million increase in the costs of carbon dioxide (CO2) emission rights, due to higher thermal production.

The following table contains the breakdown of the contribution margin by ENDESA businesses in the first nine months of 2017 and their variation compared with the same period the previous year:

(Euros 3 million correspond to personnel expenses in the same period of the previous year since the date on which control was taken; 27 July
2016) (see Section 2.2. Scope of Consolidation, of this Consolidated Management Report).

(2) Structure, services and adjustments.

The following factors should be considered when examining personnel expenses during the first nine months of 2017:

  • Personnel expenses during the first nine months of 2017 and 2016 were affected by the positive updates of the provisions under workforce restructuring plans and contract suspensions, which respectively amounted to Euros 16 million and Euros 12 million, positive. Further, in January-September 2016 this item included an expense of Euros 30 million corresponding to provisions for termination voluntary agreements.
  • Both periods include the personnel expenses relating to changes in the consolidation perimeter (Euros 13 million and Euros 3 million, respectively) due mainly to the inclusion of ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE) (see Section 2.2. Scope of Consolidation, of this Consolidated Management Report).
  • In January-September 2017 there was an increase of Euros 10 million in net provisions for indemnities and occupational risk (net allowance of Euros 2 million in the first nine months of 2017 and a net reversal of Euros 8 million in the first nine months of 2016).

Stripping out these effects, personnel expenses in the first nine month of 2017 would have decreased by Euros 3 million (-0.4%).

Other fixed operating expenses in January-September 2017 stood at Euros 933 million, up by Euros 74 million (+8.6%) compared to the first nine months of 2016.

Stripping out the effect of the incorporation of ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE) (see Section 2.2. Consolidation perimeter) in both periods, other fixed operating expenses would have increased by Euros 31 million in the January-September 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 (+3.6%) due mainly to increased generation activity and higher duties and taxes.

The following table contains the breakdown of other fixed operating expenses by ENDESA businesses in the first nine months of 2017 and their variation compared with the same period the previous year:

Millions of Euros

Depreciation and amortisation, and impairment losses.

Depreciation and amortisation charges and impairment losses amounted to Euros 1,072 million in January-September 2017, representing a year-on-year rise of Euros 14 million (+1.3%).

The following table contains the breakdown of Depreciation and amortisation, and impairment losses by ENDESA businesses in the first nine months of 2017 and their variation compared with the same period in the previous year:

Millions of Euros
    Depreciation and amortisation, and impairment losses
        January-September 2017   January-September 2016   % Var.   % Contribution to Total
Generation and supply       598   551   8.5   55.8
Generation - Non-mainland territories       127   117   8.5   11.8
Other generation and supply   (1)   471   434   8.5   44.0
Adjustments       -   -   -   -
Distribution       436   490   (11.0)   40.7
Structure and other   (2)   38   17   123.5   3.5
TOTAL       1,072   1,058   1.3   100.0
(1)  

The first nine months of 2017 include the Depreciation and amortisation, and impairment losses of ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE)
amounting to Euros 81 million (Euros 23 million correspond to depreciation and amortisation, and impairment losses in the same period of the
previous year since the date on which control was taken; 27 July 2016) (see Section 2.2. Scope of Consolidation, of this Consolidated
Management Report).

(2) Structure, services and adjustments.

The following factors must be taken into account when looking at depreciation and amortisation, and impairment losses for the first nine months of 2017:

  • Both periods factor in the impact of the incorporation of ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE) amounting respectively to Euros 81 million and Euros 23 million respectively (see Section 2.2, Scope of Consolidation, of this Consolidated Management Report).
  • In the first nine months of 2017, ENDESA concluded its analysis on the useful service life of its assets in operation. As a result thereof and in light of the current circumstances, the depreciation policy has been amended as follows:
    • The best current useful service life estimate of wind and solar power facilities was extended to 30 years from the previously considered 25 and 20 years, respectively.
    • Regarding hydroelectric power plants, depreciation of the civil engineering cost will now be over a term of 100 years (initially 65 years), and the electromechanical equipment thereof will be over 50 years (initially 35 years), both with the limit on the concession term.

      Effective as of 1 January 2017, the measures have had a favourable impact on the depreciation expense in January-September 2017 of Euros 25 million and Euros 32 million, respectively.
  • January-September 2017 also saw the reversal of impairment losses for property, plant and equipment recognised on certain lands in previous years for the amount of Euros 14 million.

Excluding the effects described above relating to the consolidation perimeter, useful life and reversal of impairment losses, depreciation and amortisation and impairment losses in the first nine months of 2017 would have increased Euros 27 million (+2.6%).

1.2.3. Net financial profit/(loss).

Net financial result in the first nine months of 2017 was a negative Euros 94 million, implying a Euros 64 million (-40.5%) reduction compared with the same period in the previous year.

The following table shows the breakdown of the net financial profit/(loss) among ENDESA businesses in the first nine months of 2017 and their variation compared with the same period in the previous year:

Millions of Euros
  Net financial profit/(loss) (2)
    January-September 2017   January-September 2016   % Var.   % Contribution to Total
Financial Income   39   35   11.4   (41.5)
Financial expenses   (135)   (193)   (30.1)   143.6
Net exchange differences   2   -   N/A   (2.1)
TOTAL (1)   (94)   (158)   (40.5)   100.0
(1)  

The first nine months of 2017 include the net financial profit/(loss) generated by ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE) amounting
respectively to Euros 2 million, positive, (Euros 2 million, negative, correspond to the net financial result in the same period of the previous year
since the date on which control was taken; 27 July 2016) (see Section 2.2. Scope of Consolidation, of this Consolidated Management Report).

(2) Net Financial Result = Financial Income – Financial Expense + Net Exchange Differences.

Net financial expenses stood at Euros 96 million in January-September 2017, down Euros 62 million (-39.2%) compared to the same period the previous year.

The following effects should be considered when examining net financial expenses during the first nine months of 2017:

  • The performance in the long-term interest rates during the first nine months of 2017 and 2016 entailed an adjustment in the provisions to account for obligations arising from the ongoing workforce restructuring plans and contract suspension agreements, which had a positive impact of Euros 8 million and negative impact of Euros 68 million, respectively.
  • In the first nine months of 2017, financial income were recognised in association with the Supreme Court Order relating to the enactment of the judgement submitted by ENDESA relating to the Social Bonus, for the amount of Euros 6 million, and in the first nine months of 2016 relating to the adjustment of interest relating to financing the revenue deficit for regulated activities in Spain, for the amount of Euros 12 million.
  • In both periods, net financial expenses also include the effect of incorporating ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE) in the first nine months amounting to Euros 2 million, positive, and Euros 2 million, negative, respectively, due to the taking of control on 27 July 2016 (see Section 2.2. Scope of Consolidation, of this Consolidated Management Report).

Excluding the effects indicated in the paragraphs above, net financial expenses would have increased by Euros 12 million (+12.0%) due to the lower average cost of gross financial debt, which fell from 2.6% in January-September 2016 to 2.2% in January-September 2017, but has not fully offset the increase in the average gross financial debt in the two periods, which rose from Euros 5,062 million in January-September 2016 to Euros 6,088 million in January-September 2017.

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

In the first nine months of 2017, companies accounted for using the equity method contributed with a net profit of Euros 18 million, compared to the net loss of Euros 35 million in the first nine months of 2016.

In January-September 2017 this item includes the negative impact of Euros 7 million corresponding to the 50% stake in Nuclenor, S.A.

In January-September 2016, this heading included mainly the net result contributed by the 40% holding in ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE) prior to the date control was taken, for the amount of Euros 69 million, negative. Later, on 27 July 2016 ENDESA acquired 60% of ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE), and the company was then fully consolidated (see Section 2.2. Scope of Consolidation, of this Consolidated Management Report).

1.2.5. Gains on the sale of assets.

On 30 June 2017 ENDESA had sold its stakes in Aquilae Solar, S.L., Cefeidas Desarrollo Solar, S.L., Cephei Desarrollo Solar, S.L., Desarrollo Photosolar, S.L., Fotovoltaica Insular, S.L. and Sol de Media Noche Fotovoltaica, S.L.

The total price agreed for the transaction was Euros 16 million, with a gross gain of Euros 4 million (see section 2.2. Scope of Consolidation, of this Consolidated Management Report).

In the first nine months of 2017 and 2016, this heading also included the expense for factoring transaction commissions, amounting to Euros 19 million and Euros 22 million respectively.

1.2.6. Corporate income tax.

The corporate income tax expense in the first nine months of 2017 was Euros 302 million, representing a year-on-year rise of Euros 6 million (+2.0%).

The effective rate in January-September 2017 was 21.7% (18.5% in January-September 2016).

Following the taking of control over ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE) (see Section 2.2. Scope of Consolidation, of this Consolidated Management Report), the January-September 2016 period includes the reversal of a deferred tax liability for the amount of Euros 81 million that ENDESA had recognised due to undistributed profits at ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE) generated after the loss of control the company in 2010 and that complied with measurement criteria.

In like-for-like terms, excluding the impact mentioned above, the corporate income tax expense in the first nine months of 2017 would have dropped by Euros 75 million (-19.9%).

1.2.7. Net income.

ENDESA reported net income of Euros 1,085 million in January-September 2017, a Euros 220 million (-16.9%) decrease compared to January-September 2016.

2. Other information.

2.1. Risk Management Policy.

During the first nine months of 2017, ENDESA operated the same risk management policy as described in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016. For this period, the financial instruments and types of hedges are the same as those described in the consolidated financial statements.

The risks that could affect ENDESA operations are also the same as those described in the consolidated management report for the year ending on 31 December 2016.

2.2. Scope of Consolidation.

Eléctrica de Jafre, S.A.

On 31 May 2017 ENDESA Red, S.A.U. acquired 52.54% of the share capital of Eléctrica de Jafre, S.A., a company that performs power transmission and distribution activities in addition to water and electricity meter rental and reading services, in which it previously held a stake of 47.46%.

As a result of this transaction ENDESA has taken control of Eléctrica de Jafre, S.A. compared to the significant influence it exerted until then, strengthening its distribution business.

The net cash outflow resulting from the acquisition of Eléctrica de Jafre, S.A. totalled Euros 1 million, corresponding mainly to the agreed transaction price.

The provisional purchase price was set according to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (net assets acquired) from Eléctrica de Jafre, S.A. on the acquisition date, in the following lines of the consolidated financial statements:

Millions of Euros          
          Fair value
Non-current assets         4
Property, plant and equipment         4
TOTAL ASSETS         4
           
Non-current liabilities         1
Deferred income         1
Current Liabilities         1
Trade and other current liabilities         1
TOTAL LIABILITIES         2
           
Fair Value of Net Assets Acquired         2

To establish the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, the projected discounted cash flows were considered applying the remuneration system in force at the acquisition date.

Revenue and net profit generated by this company from the acquisition date of 31 May 2017 are not significant. Additionally, if the acquisition had taken place on 1 January 2017, revenue and net profit generated by this transaction in the first nine months of 2017 would have been less than Euros 1 million.

Net profit generated at the date control was taken as a result of the fair value valuation of the non-controlling 47.46% stake previously held in Eléctrica de Jafre, S.A. was less than Euros 1 million.

Other stakes.

On 30 June 2017 ENDESA sold its stakes in Aquilae Solar, S.L., Cefeidas Desarrollo Solar, S.L., Cephei Desarrollo Solar, S.L., Desarrollo Photosolar, S.L., Fotovoltaica Insular, S.L. and Sol de Media Noche Fotovoltaica, S.L.

The transaction generated a gross gain of Euros 4 million in the Consolidated Income Statement for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2017 (see Section 1.2.5, Gains (loss) on the sale of assets, of this Consolidated Management Report).

On 18 July 2017 ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE) purchased the non-controlling interests of Productor Regional de Energía Renovable, S.A. (15%) and Productor Regional de Energías Renovables III, S.A. (17.11%) for Euros 2 million and Euros 3 million, respectively. The transaction, which has not affected the Consolidated Income Statement, had an impact on Equity of Euros 3 million.

Dated 4 August 2017, the termination of Minas de Estercuel, S.A. (in liquidation) and Minas Gargallo, S.L. (in liquidation) were filed with the Companies Register. ENDESA held stakes of 99.65% and 99.91% in the two companies, respectively.

ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE).

On 27 July 2016 ENDESA Generación S.A.U., a fully owned subsidiary of ENDESA S.A., acquired from ENEL Green Power International B.V 60% of the share capital of ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE), thus increasing its previous stake in its share capital from 40%.

On the date of execution of the purchase, ENDESA assumed control over ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE) as opposed to the significant influenced it had exerted until then.

As a result, the Consolidated Income Statement for the first nine months of 2017 includes the income and expenses of the fully consolidated ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE).

The contribution of ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE) to net income in the period January-September 2017 stood at Euros 29 million (Euros 12 million in January-September 2016) as shown below:

Includes, mainly, net profit relating to the previous 40% stake held by ENDESA, S.A., through ENDESA Generación, S.A.U., up until the date
control was taken (Euros 7 million), impairment recognised prior to the taking of control based on the assumption that the recoverable value
of the 40% stake in ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE) was lower than its carrying amount (Euros 72 million, and net profit generated
at the date control was taken as a result of the fair value valuation of the non-controlling 40% stake in ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U.
(EGPE) (Euros -4 million).

(4)

Following the taking of control over ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U (EGPE) a deferred tax liability was reversed for the amount of Euros
81 million that ENDESA had recognised due to undistributed profits at ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE) generated after the loss of
control the company in 2010 and that complied with measurement criteria.

In January-September 2017 the key data of ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE) are as follows:

2.3. Acquisition of the systems and telecommunications activity (ICT).

On 29 December 2016, ENDESA, S.A., acting through its fully owned subsidiary ENDESA Medios y Sistemas, S.L.U. (formerly ENDESA Servicios, S.L.U.), and ENEL Iberia, S.L.U. entered into an Assignment Contract for the Branch of the Systems and Telecommunications Activity for the acquisition to the latter of the systems and telecommunications activity (ICT) within the ENDESA sphere.

The transaction entailed the transfer of materials, human resources and contracts with third parties affected in the implementation of these activities.

The effective date of the transaction was 1 January 2017 and entailed a reorganisation of systems and telecommunications support activities (ICT) at ENDESA with a view to rendering them more adaptable to the needs of its corporate perimeter, simplifying internal and administrative management procedures.

The price stipulated for purchasing this activity branch was Euros 246 million and payment thereof was settled on the date when the contract was formalised. The transaction was recognised through the acquisition method, and provisionally assigned to the following items in the consolidated financial statements:

Millions of Euros          
          Fair value
Non-current assets         95
Property, plant and equipment         64
Intangible assets         31
TOTAL ASSETS         95
           
Non-current liabilities         8
Non-current provisions         8
Current Liabilities         2
Trade and other current liabilities         2
TOTAL LIABILITIES         10
           
Fair value of net assets acquired         85

The difference between the cost of combining the businesses and the fair value of the recognised assets and liabilities indicated above generated a goodwill of Euros 161 million because of the synergies to secure in transactions based on aspects such as the prospects of greater autonomy for ENDESA in the future management of systems and telecommunications activity (ICT), simplification and improvement of operations and management and a reduction in expected costs.

The fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed was determined by discounting free cash flows according to the business plan and the performance of the systems and telecommunications (ICT) sector.

2.4. Other information.

In January-September 2017 there were no one-off events of significant amounts other than those referred to in the consolidated management report.

In this regard, during the first nine months of 2017 there were no new material contingent liabilities other than those described in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016.

3. Regulatory framework.

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

2017 electricity tariff

The Ministerial Order establishing access charges for 2017 Order ETU/1976/2016, of 23 December was published in the Official State Gazette (BOE) on 29 December 2016. Under this Order, access charges remain unchanged.

Natural gas tariff for 2017.

Under Order ETU/1977/2016 of 23 December access charges in force in 2016 were largely maintained.

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 IET/258/2017 of 24 March entailed a contribution by ENDESA to the Energy Efficiency National Fund of Euros 29.3 million, corresponding to its 2017 obligations.

Renewable energy auction.

The Ministry for Energy, Tourism and the Digital Agenda has rolled out a series of requirements for auctions with regard to adherence to the specific remuneration regime for new renewable energy generation plants.

Specifically, on 1 April 2017 the Official State Gazette (BOE) published Royal Decree 359/2017 of 31 March, establishing a call for assigning the specific remuneration system for new renewable energy production facilities through an auction with a maximum installed power limit of 3,000 MW.

This Royal Decree was enacted by Order ETU/315/2017, of 6 April, regulating the procedure for assigning the specific remuneration system in each auction, in addition to the remuneration parameters for reference and standard facilities and characteristics of the auction; and the Resolutions issued by the Secretary of State for Energy on 10 April 2017, approving the call for an auction, and the terms and conditions thereof.

As a result of this auction, which took place on 17 May 2017, ENDESA, through ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE), was awarded 540 MW of wind power capacity (see Note 4.3. Investments, of this Consolidated Management Report).

Additionally, on 17 June 2017, Royal Decree 650/2017 of 16 June was published in the Official State Gazette (BOE), establishing a new installed capacity quota of 3,000 MW for new plants that generate power using renewable energy sources, enacted by Order ETU/615/2017, of 27 June, that establishes the assignment procedure and remuneration parameters for the auction, and the Resolution issued by the Secretary of State for Energy on 30 June 2017, which calls for an auction to assign the specific remuneration for new plants that generate power using renewable energy sources, in accordance with Royal Decree 650/2017, of 16 June.

As a result of this auction, which took place on 26 July 2017, ENDESA, through ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE), was awarded 339 MW of photovoltaic power capacity (see Note 4.3. Investments, of this Consolidated Management Report).

Fee for the use of continental waters to produce electric power.

On 10 June 2017, Royal Decree Law 10/2017 of 9 June was published in the Official State Gazette (BOE), establishing specific urgent measures to mitigate the effects of drought in certain river basins, amending the current Water Law.

Among other aspects, this Royal Decree Law modifies the tax on the fee for using continental waters to produce electric power from 22% to 25.5%, with a reduction for plants with capacity of up to 50 MW to offset the tax increase.

Social bonus.

Royal Decree Law 7/2016 of 23 December was published on 24 December 2016, regulating the mechanism for financing the cost of the social bonus and other measures designed to protect vulnerable power users. In accordance with this Royal Decree Law, the Social Bonus will be assumed by the Parents of groups of companies that supply electricity, or by the companies that do this themselves but do not belong to any group of companies, according to their percentage of customer share. This percentage will be calculated annually by the Spanish Markets and Competition Commission (Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y la Competencia or CNMC).

The sole Transitional Provision of the Royal Decree Law establishes the percentage of the Social Bonus to be applied when it comes into force; the share corresponding to ENDESA is 37.7%.

On 9 October 2017, Royal Decree 897/2017, of 6 October was published, regulating the figure of the vulnerable consumer, the Social Bonus and other protection measures for domestic electricity consumers, in addition to Order ETU/943/2017, of 6 October, enacting Royal Decree 897/2017, of 6 October.

Among other aspects, three categories of vulnerable customers are identified according to income level, measured using the Public Indicator of Income with Multiple Effects (IPREM) to establish different discounts for each category. The three categories defined are as follows:

  • Vulnerable customers, who receive a 25% discount.
  • Severely vulnerable customers, who receive a 40% discount.
  • Severely vulnerable customers at risk of social exclusion (100% discount), customers accredited by the social services as paying at least 50% of their bills.

This Royal Decree also regulates aspects relating to supply, and among others, raises from two to four months the period within which vulnerable customers may be cut off it they fail to pay their bills (the power supply of severely vulnerable customers at risk of social exclusion may not be cut off, as it is considered an essential supply).

4. Liquidity and capital resources.

(see Section 4.3. Cash Flows, of this Consolidated Management Report).

Main financial transactions.

Within the framework of the financial transaction (ENDESA Network Modernisation) concluded with the European Investment Bank (EIB) in 2014, Tranches B and C (each one of Euros 150 million) were available on 18 January 2017 and 20 February 2017, thus completing the provision of the transaction for a total amount of Euros 600 million. Both provisions are at floating rate, with a 12-year maturity which may be repaid from 2021.

In January-September 2017, ENDESA concluded agreements with different financial institutions for the extension to 3 years with a possibility of extending to 5 years of most of its credit lines for Euros 1,985 million.

At 30 June 2017 ENDESA, S.A. had renegotiated the terms and conditions of the committed and irrevocable inter-company credit line arranged with ENEL Finance International N.V., extending its maturity to 30 June 2020 and reducing the margin and applicable non-drawdown fee to 55 basis points and 18 basis points, respectively.

In the nine months of 2017, ENDESA maintained the Euro Commercial Paper (ECP) emissions programme through International ENDESA, B.V., and the outstanding balance as of 30 September 2017 is Euros 1,200 million, and its renewal is backed by irrevocable credit lines.
