REGULATORY FRAMEWORK

Public Hearings:

On April 18, 2022, through Resolutions No. 235 and 236/2022 issued by the Secretariat of Energy, the Argentine Executive Branch convened public hearings to be held on May 10, 11 and 12 with the aim of dealing with the following issues:

·New seasonal reference prices of the Seasonal Price of Electric Energy (PEST, in Spanish), in force as of June 1, 2022.
·Implementation of segmentation in the granting of energy price subsidies by the National Government to users of natural gas and electricity services for the years 2022 and 2023.

 

Debt Restructuring

 

On April 6, 2022, the General Meeting of Shareholders approved the update of the Global Program for the Issue of Simple Corporate Notes for a Maximum Amount outstanding at all times of up to $750,000,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies).

 

Consequently, on April 12, 2022, edenor launched the exchange offer of Class 9- Corporate Notes issued by the Company due on October 25, 2022 at a nominal annual fixed interest rate of 9.75% for an outstanding nominal value of $ 98,057,000 for Class N I - New Corporate Notes, denominated and payable in US dollars, at a nominal annual fixed interest rate of 9.75%, due 2025, to be issued for a nominal value of up to $ 120,000,000, within the framework of the Global Program for the Issue of Simple Corporate Notes.

 

New Corporate Notes are within the framework of the "Guidelines for the issue of negotiable, social, green and sustainable bonds in Argentina" contained in Annex III of Chapter I, Title VI of the Rules of the Argentine Securities and Exchange Commission (CNV) and in BYMA`s Guide of Green and Sustainable Social Bonds intended to be listed on BYMA`s Panel of Social, Green and Sustainable Bonds.

 

The capital of such corporate notes will be amortized in a single payment on May 12, 2025. Likewise, they will accrue interest at a nominal annual fixed rate of 9.75%, payable semi-annually every May 12 and November 12 of each year, starting on November 12, 2022.

 

Finally, on May 12, 2022, the Company approved the issue and placement by exchange, pursuant to the provisions of the Prospectus and Exchange Supplement dated April 12, 2022. The Corporate Notes will be subscribed in accordance with the Exchange Orders received, based on the following options:

 

Option A

 

Exchange Orders for Existing Corporate Notes submitted under Option A on or before the Early Exchange Date (April 28, 2022), which on April 29,2022 has been extended to May 9, 2022, will receive a nominal value of New Corporate Notes of $ 1,050 for each $ 1,000 nominal value of Existing Corporate Notes validly presented and accepted for exchange.

 

Option B

 

Exchange Orders for Existing Corporate Notes submitted under Option B will receive a portion of the Cash Consideration, plus the corresponding New Corporate Notes Consideration.

 

The Cash Consideration represents a total amount equal to the lesser of: (i) 30% of the principal amount of the Existing Corporate Notes that are validly presented and accepted for exchange in the Offer; and (ii) the principal amount of the Existing Corporate Notes accepted for exchange under Option B.

 

   

Edenor S.A – Earnings Release 1Q22

The amount of the Pro Rata Cash Consideration to be paid to Eligible Holders whose Existing Corporate Notes are accepted for exchange under Option B will be equal to the Cash Consideration divided by the principal amount of the Existing Corporate Notes accepted under Option B multiplied by 1,000.

 

The Early Cash Consideration (on or before the Early Exchange Date) in New Corporate Notes for each Eligible Holder whose Existing Notes have been accepted for exchange under Option B will be equal to 1.04 times the difference between $1,000 and the Pro Rata Cash Consideration received by each Eligible Holder whose Existing Notes have been accepted for exchange under Option B.

 

Payment of accrued interest

 

 

In addition to the Exchange Consideration, Eligible Holders whose Existing Corporate Notes were accepted for exchange in the Exchange Offer will also receive an Accrued Interest Payment equal to all accrued and unpaid interest from the last interest payment date until and excluding the Settlement Date, which must be paid in cash on the Settlement Date.

 

The result of the offer to exchange the Class N° 9 Negotiable obligation issued by the Company with maturity on October 25, 2022 for New Negotiable obligation - Class N I, was 73.25% acceptance, restructuring accordingly a total of U$S 52,706,268 corresponding to: i) Exchange Orders filed under Option A for U$S 43,783,950 and; ii) Redemption Orders filed under Option B for U$S 30,470,118

 

Additionally, interest was paid in cash from the last payment date to and including the Settlement Date, totaling U$S 329,573.

Revenues from sales

Revenues from sales decreased by 7 % to AR$ 30,401 million in 1Q22, against AR$ 32,607 million in 1Q21. This is due to the inflation differences and that the tariff is frozen.

Energy purchases

Energy purchases decreased by 9% to AR$ 17,979 million in 1Q22 against AR$ 19,771 million for the same period in 2021. The VAD increased 8%. There was an increased for residential customers of 34 % and 50 % for industries. . In turn, the reference seasonal price for residential customers is still subsidized by the Federal Government, where the subsidy reached 70% of the system’s actual generation cost in the first quarter of 2022, while large users receive no subsidy in the energy price.

Gross Margin

The gross margin corresponding to 1Q22 was AR$ 12,422 million, which represents a fall of 3% compared to the same period of the previous year.

By means of Resolution No. 76/2022, the ENRE established new tariffs schemes which are effective as of March 1st, setting a VAD increase of 8%.

Furthermore, edenor’s customer base rose by 2.3% 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 over the last year of 6,445 integrated energy meters that were mainly intended for the regularization of clandestine connections.

The outbreak of the global pandemic has brought several consequences in economic activities worldwide that directly affected the Company’s activities, generating reduced collections, especially at the beginning of the lockdown. In addition, 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 were partially regularized; even so, as of March 31, 2022 there is a debt of ARS 32,640 million before interest.

As regards the treatment of the debt accumulated, Decree 88/2022 extended until December 31, 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.

Service 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 in the last comprehensive tariff review, and even exceeding this year the quality indicators required by the regulator in the last Integral Tariff Revision.

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 first quarter of 2022, SAIDI and SAIFI indicators for the last 3 months were 10.4 hours and 4.1 outages on average per client per year, evidencing a 13% and 11% improvement, respectively, compared to the same period of the previous year. In turn, these indicators are 13% and 24% lower than target values required by the RTI for January 2022. 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 1Q22, energy losses experienced a 13,8 % decrease, against 16,6 % for the same period of the previous year. Costs associated with these losses increased 34 %. This results in a AR$ 789 million improvement in real terms.

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 2022, 70,928 inspections of Tariff 1 (Residential users) were conducted with a 52 % efficiency, while for the same period of the previous year 413,041 inspections were conducted with a 52 % efficiency. Moreover, 6,445 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 striking rate of recidivism in fraud has been observed.

Indebtedness

 

As of March 31, 2022, the outstanding principal of our dollar-denominated financial debt amounts to USD 98.1 million, whereas the cash position net of financial debt amounts to USD -100 million The financial debt consists exclusively of Senior Notes maturing in October 2022.

 

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.

Social pillar: The commitment to the development of the community in which it is immersed is key to Edenor, and part of its sustainability strategy includes electricity inclusion, intelligent consumption and equitable and quality education. In this regard, the electrical inclusion and intelligent consumption program allows customers to be effectively included in society and to make full use of electrical energy with energy efficiency knowledge. In addition, it is an advance as to the experience of customers with the company and the administration of electricity consumption in households.

It is worth mentioning the most significant benefits of accessing electricity:

 

-Access to a quality public service;
   

Edenor S.A – Earnings Release 1Q22

 11 
 
 
 
-Possibility of opening an account in a bank or accessing other services, since the recharge ticket serves as a proof of address;
-Greater equity between neighbors of normalized and non- normalized neighborhoods
-Possibility of self-managing consumption (energy loads) based on family income flow;
-Training for clients in the rational use of energy;
-Decrease in accidents derived from illegal manipulations in power lines and clandestine connections;
-Improvement in the electrical safety of households due to the incorporation of thermal and circuit breaker;
-It offers the possibility of filing claims with the company, or with the ENRE, in the event the latter does not answer;
-Digitalization of the service;
-Improvement in the quality of life since it offers the possibility of using a refrigerator, electric oven for cooking, access to well water, etc.;
-Access to social tariff;
-Access to consumer credit, since customers may be considered good payers if there are no debts;
-Access to education, work and undertakings development

 

In addition, the Company continues to carry out the scholarship and tutoring program in technical schools: the “Mujeres con Energia” initiative and the “edenorchicos” educational program.

Environmental pillar: Edenor is working with its consumers so that they can install an electricity generation system for self-consumption and with eventual injection of surpluses into the network. Likewise, Edenor acquired its first 100% electric vehicle for its operations and installed smart meters that allow the company and customers to know in real time, 24 hours a day, electricity consumption, credit balances, partial and total values of the electricity supply, among others.

Governance pillar: all employees, members of the Board of Directors and members of the Supervisory Committee adhere to the code of ethics and, in turn, a policy has been implemented to facilitate the reporting of alleged irregularities.
