EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

 

§Net income of Enel Chile S.A. reached a Ch$ 49,197 million profit as of June 2022, 22.5% less than the first semester of 2021. This reduction is mainly explained by higher operating costs in the generation business as a consequence of a complex scenario in the electricity sector in Chile. Net income for Q2 2022 was a Ch$ 11,145 million loss, which represents a Ch$ 30,862 million reduction when compared to Q2 2021, explained by higher operating costs, primarily energy purchases.

 

§When excluding the extraordinary effect related to Bocamina II and the expenses booked in 2021 related to the Group’s 2021-2024 digitalization strategy, the Company’s net income declined 2.0% to Ch$ 84,071 million as of June 2022, compared to Ch$ 85,812 million adjusted net income as of June 2021. When applying the same adjustments to quarterly figures, net income for Q2 2022 declined Ch$ 22,490 million from Ch$ 34,648 million in Q2 2021 to Ch$ 12,158 million for Q2 2022, mainly due to the higher operating costs of the generation business.

 

§Operating revenues increased 49.3% to Ch$ 1,915,293 million as of June 2022, when compared to June 2021, mainly due to higher physical energy sales and a higher average sales price when expressed in Chilean pesos in both the generation and the networks business segments, in addition to greater gas sales in the generation business. Similarly, operating revenues for Q2 2022 increased 49.3% to Ch$ 1,018,208 million.

 

§Procurement and services costs amounted to Ch$ 1,562,975 million as of June 2022, representing a 90.1% increase when compared to the first semester of 2021, due to higher electricity purchase costs due to both greater physical purchases and a higher average purchase price, and also greater fuel consumption costs and other variables procurement and services costs, all in the generation business. Procurement and services costs during the last quarter of this year followed a similar trend, increasing from Ch$ 445,717 million in Q2 2021 to Ch$ 899,475 million in Q2 2022.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ANALYSIS

AS OF JUNE 30, 2022

 

FINANCIAL SUMMARY- ENEL CHILE

 

Gross financial debt of the Company increased US$ 665 million to US$ 5,669 million as of June 2022, when compared to the balance as of December 2021. This variation is explained by the disbursement of 100% of the new US$ 300 million intercompany credit line obtained by Enel Chile from Enel Finance International (US$ 200 million disbursed in February 2022 and US$ 100 million in March 2022), and the disbursement of 100% of the new US$ 300 million credit line obtained by Enel Chile from Nova-Scotia and Mizuho (US$ 150 million disbursed in April 2022 and US$ 150 million disbursed in May 2022), and the partial disbursement of the intercompany credit line obtained by Enel Chile from Enel Finance International for US$ 100 million in June 2022. These transactions were offset by the US$ 21 million amortization of Enel Generación Chile’s local H and M bonds and a US$ 14 million reduction in leasing liabilities (IFRS 16).

 

Liquidity available to Enel Chile is composed of the following:

 

·Cash and cash equivalents : US$ 304 million.
·Undisbursed committed credit lines : US$ 186 million.

 

The average cost of Enel Chile’s debt declined from 4.4%, as of December 2021 to 3.9% as of June 2022.

 

Hedging and protection:

 

To mitigate the risks associated with exchange rate and interest rate variations, Enel Chile has established policies and procedures to protect its financial statements against the volatility of these variables.

 

Enel Chile’s exchange rate hedging policy states that there should be a balance between the currencies of each company’s operations and the currency of its debt. Therefore, we have cross currency swap and forward contracts that amount to US$ 316 million and US$ 287 million, respectively.

 

To reduce financial statement volatility caused by interest rate variations, the Enel Chile Group maintains an adequate debt structure balance. Therefore, the Company has interest rate swaps for US$ 450 million.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ANALYSIS

AS OF JUNE 30, 2022

 

INFORMATION RELEVANT TO THE ANALYSIS OF THESE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Regulatory Changes:

 

>As part of the Social Agenda announced by the government, the Ministry of Energy published Law 21,185 (hereafter the “Tariff Stabilization Law”) in the Official Gazette on November 2, 2019. This Law creates a Temporary Regulated Customer Tariff Stabilization Mechanism that states that the price to charge regulated customers for electricity from July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2020 is to be equal to the prices in force during the first semester of 2019 (Decree 20T/2018). This stabilized price was named the “Stabilized Regulated Customer Price” PEC (in its Spanish acronym). From January 1, 2021, until the stabilization mechanism is suspended, the prices will be those defined in the tariff setting processes carried out every six months as established in Article 158 of the Electricity Law, but not to exceed the PEC adjusted by inflation according to the Consumer Price Index as of January 1, 2021, using the same date as base (adjusted PEC). The billing differences until 2023 are to be recorded as an accounts receivable in favor of generation companies, limited to a maximum US$ 1,350 million. This limit was reached in February 2022. These accounts receivables are to be recovered by December 31, 2027.

 

On September 14, 2020, the National Energy Commission published Exempt Resolution 340 that modified the technical provisions regarding the implementation of the Tariff Stabilization Law. This Resolution clarified that the payment to each supplier “must be booked against the Balance in a chronological manner, beginning with the most dated to the most recent pending Balances”, and not weighted based on the total Balance pending payment as it had been interpreted by the industry up to such date.

 

Additionally, this Resolution established that the payment of Balances is to be performed using the Observed Exchange Rate on the sixth working day following the day the Balance Payment Chart is published by the System Coordinator, which replaces the average value of the dollar during the billing month that had been in force up to then.

 

>To comply with the latest amendments issued by the Ministry of Economy, Development and Reconstruction to Electricity Law 4/2016 establishing that distribution companies are only to distribute electricity as their sole purpose, on January 1, 2021, Enel Transmission Chile S.A. was created from the division of Enel Distribución Chile S.A. receiving all assets and liabilities of Enel Distribución Chile’s electricity transmission business segment.

The main variables that explain this result are described below:

 

§  Operating revenues as of June 30, 2022, amounted to Ch$ 1,449,568 million, which represents a Ch$ 582,785 million, or 67.2% increase when compared to the same period of 2021, mainly due to the following:

 

>A Ch$ 397,577 million increase in energy sales, mainly explained by: (i) a positive price effect when expressed in Chilean pesos for Ch$ 266,206 million due to the depreciation of the Chilean peso-US dollar exchange rate during the period; and (ii) a Ch$ 172,089 million increase in physical energy sales, equivalent to +2,701 GWh, due to greater sales to unregulated customers (+1,609 GWh) primarily related to new contracts, higher physical sales to regulated customers (+806 GWh) and spot market sales (+286 GWh). These effects were partially offset by: (i) greater losses from commodity hedges for Ch$ 24,483 million; and (ii) lower ancillary services revenue related to safety and service quality and other services for Ch$ 16,235 million.

 

>A Ch$ 114,394 million increase in other sales, mainly explained by higher gas sales revenue for Ch$ 114,556 million.

 

>Greater other operating revenue amounting to Ch$ 70,886 million, mainly explained by: (i) a Ch$ 60,523 million increase in revenue from commodity hedges; (ii) a Ch$ 7,116 million increase in revenue from regasification services; and (iii) a Ch$ 3,247 million increase in other various revenues mainly related to supplier compensations due to delays, revenue from legal claims and leasing, among others.

 

Operating revenues during Q2 2022 reached Ch$ 770.128 million, which represents a Ch$ 307,013 million increase when compared to the same quarter of 2021, mainly due to the following:

 

>A Ch$ 185,085 million increase in energy sales, mainly explained by: (i) an increase in the average sales price when expressed in Chilean pesos for Ch$ 116,054 million; and (ii) a Ch$ 99,852 million equivalent to +899 GWh increase in physical sales (+355 GWh to regulated customers, +330 GWh to unregulated customers, and +204 GWh on the spot market). These effects were partially compensated by lower revenue from commodity hedges for Ch$ 19,693 million; and (ii) lower ancillary services revenue for Ch$ 11,128 million.

 

>A Ch$ 78,675 million increase in other sales, mainly explained by higher gas sales revenue for Ch$ 78,702 million.

 

>Greater other operating revenue for Ch$ 42,891 million, mainly explained by: (i) higher revenue related to commodity derivatives for Ch$ 35,748 million, and (ii) higher revenue from regasification services for Ch$ 7,116 million.

§Operating costs reached Ch$ 1,226,009 million as of June 30, 2022, a Ch$ 714,961 million increase when compared to the same period of 2021 due to the following:

 

>A Ch$ 364,828 million increase in energy purchases, mainly higher physical energy purchases on the spot market (+1,539 GWh) and from other electricity generation companies (+112 GWh), mainly due to the need to satisfy greater electricity demand of both regulated and unregulated customers, in addition to a higher spot market purchase price due to the conditions of the electricity system.

 

>A Ch$ 188,242 million increase in fuel consumption costs mainly due to: (i) higher gas consumption costs for Ch$ 129,451 million, primarily related to greater gas-fired electricity generation during the period and also a higher average gas price; (ii) a Ch$ 35,045 million increase in impairment losses on coal inventories and Ch$ 601 million on diesel oil inventories, both related to the disconnection of Central Bocamina II coal unit impaired during the second quarter of 2020, (iii) higher fuel oil consumption costs amounting to Ch$ 18,818 million mainly due to a higher average purchase price; and (iv) higher coal consumption costs for Ch$ 9,411 million mainly due to a higher average purchase price of coal. The above was partially offset by lower commodity hedging costs for Ch$ 5,086 million.

 

>A Ch$ 98,035 million increase in other procurement and services costs mainly due to: (i) higher gas commercialization costs of sales for Ch$ 91,609 million, (ii) higher thermal power plant emissions tax for Ch$ 3,406 million, and (iii) higher various generation input costs (water, chemicals, etc.) for Ch$ 2,517 million.

 

>A Ch$ 63,856 million increase in transportation costs mainly due to: (i) higher tolls amounting to Ch$ 34,350 million primarily related to higher Tariff Revenue (“IT” in its Spanish acronym) costs as a consequence of higher marginal costs amounting to Ch$ 43,011 million, partially offset by a Ch$ 10,006 million cost reduction related to the AAT tariff adjustment (Ajuste de Armonización Tarifaria, “AAT” in its Spanish acronym) of the zonal transmission system, and lower costs resulting from the resettlements of the contract with Transmisora Eléctrica de Quillota S.A. for Ch$ 2,593 million; and (ii) higher gas transportation and regasification costs for Ch$ 29,506 million.

The consolidated financial result of Enel Chile, as of June 30, 2022, amounted to a Ch$ 46,376 million loss, a Ch$ 46,422 million improvement when compared to the Ch$ 92,798 million loss booked for the same period of 2021. During Q2 2022, financial result reached a Ch$ 16,919 million loss, which represents a 69.0% loss reduction when compared to Q2 2021. These figures are primarily explained by the following:

Financial income during Q2 2022 increased Ch$ 16,626 million when compared to the same quarter of 2021 mainly due to: (i) the restatement of dismantling provisions of the power plants that were impaired as a result of the Company’s decarbonization process for Ch$ 10,300 million; (ii) higher returns on short term fixed income investments amounting to Ch$ 3,856 million; and (iii) greater financial income related to customer invoice payment plans for Ch$ 1,514 million.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ANALYSIS

AS OF JUNE 30, 2022

 

Financial expenses decreased Ch$ 19,945 million, primarily explained by: (i) lower financial expenses on accounts receivable factoring contracts for Ch$ 32,328 million, mainly related to the sale of accounts receivables that arise from the Tariff Stabilization Law that decreased Ch$ 36,423 million; and (ii) lower financial expenses due to greater capitalization of interest amounting to Ch$ 8,564 million primarily related to the development of non-conventional renewable energy projects and the extension of the construction of the Los Cóndores project. These effects were partially offset by: (i) greater financial expenses with related parties for Ch$ 10,436 million related to the new loans obtained from EFI; (ii) greater financial expenses due to the restatement of dismantling provisions for Ch$ 3,951 million; and (iii) higher interest on bonds and bank loans amounting to Ch$ 7,617 million.

 

During Q2 2022, financial expenses increased Ch$ 723 million when compared to the same quarter of 2021, mainly due to: (i) greater financial expenses with related parties for Ch$ 6,920 million related to the new loans obtained from EFI; and (ii) higher interest on bonds and bank loans amounting to Ch$ 7,262 million. These effects were partially offset by: (i) lower financial expenses on factoring contracts for Ch$ 7,920 million mainly related to the sale of accounts receivables that arise from the Tariff Stabilization Law that dropped Ch$ 9,046 million; and (ii) lower financial expenses due to higher capitalization of interest amounting to Ch$ 6,050 million.

 

Income related to indexation increased Ch$ 6,098 million, primarily due to: (i) a Ch$ 2,536 million increase in profit from non-financial asset indexation; (ii) a Ch$ 1,489 million increase in profit from trade accounts receivable indexation; (iii) a Ch$ 1,181 million increase in profit from indexation of financial instruments primarily related to financial debt and derivative instruments; and (iv) a lower negative effect caused by IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” on the branch of our subsidiary Enel Generación Chile located in Argentina for Ch$ 662 million.

The loss from exchange rate differences decreased Ch$ 1,155 million, mainly due to greater positive exchange rate difference on: (i) trade accounts receivables for Ch$ 36,176 million that includes the Ch$ 40,930 million positive effect related to the Tariff Stabilization Law that set the US dollar as the currency for the accounts receivables of pending billings to regulated customers; and (ii) cash and cash equivalents for Ch$ 8,089 million.

The abovementioned was partially offset by a greater negative exchange rate difference effect on: (i) financial debt and derivative instruments for Ch$ 20,317 million; (ii) accounts payable to related parties for Ch$ 18,695 million mainly related to the EFI loans; and (iii) trade accounts payables for Ch$ 4,403 million that includes the Ch$ 16,631 million negative exchange rate effect of the Tariff Stabilization Law.

 

During Q2 2022, the loss from exchange rate differences decreased Ch$ 16,236 million, when compared to the same quarter of 2021 primarily due to: (i) a greater positive exchange rate difference effect on trade accounts receivables for Ch$ 87,652 million, including the Ch$ 66,747 million positive effect related to the Tariff Stabilization Law that set the US dollar as the currency for the accounts receivables of pending billings to regulated customers; and (ii) greater positive exchange rate difference effect on cash and cash equivalents for Ch$ 10,091 million.

 

The aforementioned was partially offset by: (i) greater negative exchange rate difference effect on financial debt and derivative instruments for Ch$ 35,388 million; (ii) higher negative exchange rate difference effect on accounts payable to related parties for Ch$ 22,969 million, mainly related to EFI loans; and (iii) greater negative exchange rate difference effect on trade accounts payable for Ch$ 21,270 million that includes the Ch$ 30,418 million negative effect related to the Tariff Stabilization Law.

 

 

Corporate Taxes:

 

Corporate income tax reached a Ch$ 25,008 million profit as of June 30, 2022, which represents a Ch$ 45,545 million lower expense when compared to the same period of the previous year, primarily explained by: (i) a Ch$ 29,217 million lower expense due to lower operating income this semester when compared to the first semester of 2021; and (ii) a Ch$ 20,210 million lower expense due to greater losses caused by this period’s price-level restatement.

 

During Q2 2022, Corporate income tax reached a Ch$ 34,166 million profit, which represents a Ch$ 46,649 million lower expense when compared to same quarter of 2021, primarily due to: (i) a Ch$ 31,755 million income tax reduction due to lower operating income in Q2 2022 when compared to Q2 2021; and (ii) the Ch$ 17,638 million lower expenses due to this period’s price-level restatement effect.

These effects were partially offset by a lower balance of employee accounts receivables and other accounts receivables for Ch$ 1,577 million.

The aforementioned effect was partly offset by lower leasing account receivables and other accounts receivables for Ch$ 3,255 million.

 

A Ch$ 34,614 million increase in investments accounted for using the equity method mainly explained by: (i) the acquisition of non-controlling shareholdings of Inversiones K Cuatro S.p.A. for Ch$ 29,385 million, of Suministradora de Buses K Cuatro S.p.A. for Ch$ 297 million, and of Enel X Way Chile S.p.A. for Ch$ 917 million; and (ii) the Ch$ 1,552 million share of associate and jointly controlled companies’ net income, mainly from GNL Chile S.A..

>The current ratio as of June 30, 2022, reached 0.52 times, which represents a 11.8% negative variation when compared to December 31, 2021. This reduction is mainly due to the increase in current trade accounts payable to related parties, primarily related to new loans obtained by Enel Chile from EFI (US$ 400 million) and the increase in other current financial liabilities related to the loan obtained by Enel Chile from Nova-Scotia and Mizuho (US$ 300 million).

 

>Acid test or quick ratio, as of June 30, 2022, was 0.50 times, which represents a 12.1% negative variation when compared to December 31, 2021, which is also primarily related to the increase in current trade accounts payable to EFI and bank loans.

 

>Working capital, as of June 30, 2022, amounted to negative Ch$ 1,511,705 million, which represents a 75% greater negative variation when compared to December 31, 2021, for the same reasons explained above.

 

>The debt ratio was 2,25 times, which represents the level of commitment of Enel Chile equity as of June 30, 2022, compared to 1.84 times as of December 31, 2021. This weaker result is mainly explained by the increase in financial debt resulting from the new loans obtained by Enel Chile during the first semester of 2022 and the effect of the Chilean pesos / US dollar exchange rate.

 

>The financial expenses coverage ratio for the first semester of 2022 was 2.71 times, which represents the ability to cover all financial expenses with the EBITDA. The 4.2% reduction in this index when compared to the same period of last year is mainly due to this semester’s lower EBITDA mainly in the Generation business.

The Ch$ 350,413 million reduction in operating cash flow when compared to the first semester of 2021 is mainly due to the Ch$ 744,787 million increase in supplier payments. This effect was partly offset by: (i) a Ch$ 311,596 million increase in collections of sale of goods and services that includes the Ch$ 85,660 million increase from invoice factoring during the first semester of 2022 when compared to the same period of 2021; and (ii) a Ch$ 60,031 million reduction in income tax payments.

 

Net cash flow used in investing activities amounted to Ch$ 483,750 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022.This cash flow comprises the following: (i) Ch$ 464,216 million in payments to purchase property, plant and equipment; and (ii) Ch$ 29,940 million payment for the 40% additional shareholding of Sociedad de Inversiones K Cuatro S.p.A. acquired by Enel X Chile S.A. in February 2022. The aforementioned was partially compensated by the Ch$ 11,358 million cash flow received in May 2022 for the sale of 51% of Enel X Way Chile S.p.A., company created from the spin-off of Enel X Chile S.A.

 

The Ch$ 43,250 million increase in investment cash outflows is primarily explained by the acquisition of the shareholding of Sociedad de Inversiones K Cuatro S.p.A. for Ch$ 29,940 million and the Ch$ 19,340 million increase in cash outflows to purchase property, plant and equipment, mainly by EGP Chile and Enel Transmisión Chile.

Net cash flow from financing activities amounted to Ch$ 454,206 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022. This cash flow mainly comprises the cash inflow from: (i) the new loans granted by EFI to Enel Chile for Ch$ 327,164 million; and (ii) new bank loans obtained by Enel Chile for Ch$ 335,356 million. These cash inflows were partially offset by the following cash outflows: (i) bank loan and bond payments for Ch$ 98,042 million made by Enel Chile and Enel Generación Chile; (ii) interest payments for Ch$ 77,487 million; (iii) dividend payments for Ch$ 22,303 million; and (iv) other cash outflows for Ch$ 10,482 million.

 

The Ch$ 354,055 million improvement in the Company’s financial cash flow when compared to June 2021 is mainly explained by the Ch$ 335,356 million increase in bank loans and Ch$ 39,989 million increase in related party loans.

II. MAIN RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ACTIVITY OF ENEL CHILE S.A. GROUP

 

The Group’s activities are subject to a broad set of governmental regulations, and any changes in them could affect their activities, economic situation and operating income.

 

The Group’s operating subsidiaries are subject to a wide range of tariff regulations and other aspects that govern their operations in Chile. Consequently, the introduction of new laws or regulations, or the modification of current laws and regulations, could affect their operations, economic situation and operating results.

 

These new laws or regulations, on occasion, modify regulatory aspects that may affect existing entitlements which, as the case might be, may adversely affect the Group’s future income.

 

The Group’s operations are also subject to wide-ranging environmental regulations that Enel Chile continuously meets. Eventual modifications introduced to such regulations could affect its operations, economic situation and operating income.

 

These regulations, among other things, require the preparation and submission of 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 Chile cannot guarantee that:

 

·Public authorities will approve such environmental impact studies;
·Public opposition will not lead to delays or modifications to any proposed project;
·Laws or regulations will not be modified or interpreted in a manner that leads to increased expenses or that might affect the Group’s operations, plants or plans.

 

The Group’s commercial operations have been planned in order to mitigate possible impacts as a result of changing hydrological conditions.

 

The operations of Enel Chile Group include hydroelectric generation, and therefore, depend on actual hydrological conditions throughout a broad geographical area where the Group’s hydroelectric generation facilities are located. Should the hydrological conditions lead to droughts or other conditions that might negatively affect hydroelectric generation business, our results could be adversely affected, which is why Enel Chile has established, as an essential part of its commercial policy, to refrain from contractually committing 100% of its generation capacity. At the same time, the electricity business is also affected by meteorological conditions, such as temperatures, that affect consumption. Our margins may be affected by weather conditions depending on the different climate conditions.

   
 -28- 

ENEL CHILE

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ANALYSIS

AS OF JUNE 30, 2022

 

The financial situation and the results of our operations may be negatively affected if the exposure to interest rate fluctuations, commodity prices and foreign exchange rates are not effectively managed.

 

 

RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY

 

The companies of the Enel Chile Group follow the guidelines of the Internal Risk Management Control System (SCIGR) defined at the Holding level (Enel SpA), which establishes the guidelines for risk management through the respective standards, procedures, systems, etc., which are applied at the different levels of the Enel Chile Group Companies, in the processes of identification, analysis, evaluation, treatment and communication of risks that the business faces continuously. These are approved by the Board of Directors of Enel SpA, which houses a Controls and Risks Committee, which supports the evaluation and decisions of the Board of Directors of Enel Chile with respect to internal controls and risk management system, as well as those related to the approval of the periodic financial statements.

 

To comply with this, there is a specific Risk Control and Management policy within the Company, which is reviewed and approved at the beginning of each year by the Board of Directors of Enel Chile, observing and applying local requirements in terms of risk culture.

 

The Company seeks protection for all risks that may affect the achievement of business objectives. In January 2020, a new risk taxonomy has been approved for the entire Enel Group, which considers 6 macro categories and 38 sub-categories.

 

The Enel Group's risk management system considers three lines of action (defense) to obtain effective and efficient management of risks and controls. Each of these three "lines" plays a distinct role within the broader governance structure of the organization (Business and Internal Controls areas, acting as the first line, Risk Control, acting as the second line and Internal Audit as the third line of defense). Each line of defense has the obligation to inform and keep Senior Management and Directors updated on risk management, with Senior Management being informed by the first and second line of defense and the Board of Directors of Enel Chile in turn, by the second and third line of defense.

 

Within each company of the Group, the risk management process is decentralized. Each manager responsible for the operational process in which the risk originates is also responsible for the treatment and adoption of risk control and mitigation measures.

ENEL CHILE

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ANALYSIS

AS OF JUNE 30, 2022

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

Interest rate variations modify the fair value of interest bearing at a fixed rate assets and liabilities, as well as 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 balance that would enable to minimize debt costs while reducing Income Statement volatility.

 

The debt structure according to interest rate, measured as the percentage of fixed debt and/or protected above total gross debt, is the following:

 

  INTEREST RATE  (%) June 30,
2022
December 31,
2021
     
 Fixed Interest Rate  72% 82%

 

 

This ratio considers only debt transactions with third parties and with Enel Finance International, if any.

 

Depending on the Group’s estimates and on the objectives of its debt structure, various hedging operations are carried out via contracting derivatives to mitigate such risks.

 

Risk control through specific processes and indicators allows limiting possible adverse financial impacts and, at the same time, optimizes the debt structure with an adequate degree of flexibility.

 

As is public knowledge, LIBOR will be gradually discontinued, with a deadline of June 30, 2023, and the market consensus is that it will be replaced by the SOFR reference rate, corresponding to a risk-free rate.

 

The Enel Chile Group has developed an analysis of the potential impacts of this reform, which includes an identification of the affected contracts, an analysis of the relevant clauses and a work plan in order to adapt and update such documentation to the new market standards. Additionally, and as a way of anticipating this reform, all new financial operations signed by Enel Chile have been governed by the new SOFR reference interest rate.

 

However, this does not eliminate some potential risks inherent to the process of adapting to the new reference rate, such as a possible increase or decrease in the interest rate after a change in the reference rate, risk related to the availability of data of the new rate, operational risk derived from the need to adapt our systems to the new reference rate, among others.

 

 

   
 -30- 

ENEL CHILE

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ANALYSIS

AS OF JUNE 30, 2022

 

As of June 30, 2022, our total exposure to LIBOR debt was US$ 1,190 million and all of them include provisions for the transition from LIBOR to an alternative reference rate. Additionally, we have hedges through derivative instruments that reference Libor maturing after June 2023 for US$ 50 million and include transition provisions according to market standards.

 

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

 

Foreign exchange rate risks are primarily inherent to the following transactions:

 

>Debt contracted by the Group’s companies denominated in currencies than those in which their cash flows are indexed.

 

>Payments in currencies other than those in which their cash flows are indexed, for example, payments for material purchases associated to projects and payment of corporate insurance policy premiums.

 

>Income of the Group’s companies directly linked to the fluctuation of currencies other than the currency of their own cash flows.

 

In order to mitigate the foreign exchange rate risk, the hedging policy of the Enel Chile aims at maintaining a balance between US$-indexed flows or local currencies flows if they exists, and the level of assets and liabilities denominated in such currency. The aim is to minimize the exposure of cash flows to foreign exchange rate variations.

 

The instruments currently used to comply with the policy are foreign exchange forwards and currency swaps.

 

During the second quarter of 2022, exchange rate risk management continued in the context of complying with the aforementioned risk management policy, without difficulty in accessing the derivatives market.

 

Commodity Risk

 

The Enel Chile Group is exposed to the risk of price variations of certain commodities, primarily the following:

 

>Fuel purchases for the process of electricity generation.

 

>Purchase and sale of energy carried out in the local market.

 

In order to reduce the risk under extreme drought conditions, the Group has designed a policy that defines sale commitment levels in line with the capacity of its generating facilities during a dry year, by including risk mitigation clauses in some contracts with unregulated clients and, in the case of regulated clients subject to long-term tender processes, by establishing indexing polynomials to reduce commodity exposure.

 

   
 -31- 

ENEL CHILE

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ANALYSIS

AS OF JUNE 30, 2022

 

In consideration of the operational conditions Chile is facing in the electricity generation market and the drought and commodity price volatility in international markets, the Company is continuously reviewing the convenience of hedging the impact of these price variations on its net income.

 

As of June 30, 2022, the Company held swaps for 799 Kbbl of Brent oil to be settled in 2022 and 1,425 Kbbl of Brent oil to be settled in 2023, 11.3 TBtu of Henry Hub gas to be settled in 2022 and 5.6 TBtu of Henry Hub gas to be settled in 2023, also 6.0 TBtu of TFU be settled in 2023. As of December 31, 2021, the Company held swaps for 1,930 kBbl of Brent oil to be settled in 2022 and 9.1 TBtu of Henry Hub gas to be settled in 2022.

 

According to the operating conditions that are updated permanently, these hedges may be amended, or include other commodities.

 

The Group was able to minimize the effects of volatility in commodity prices on the results of the first semester of 2022 due to the mitigation strategies implemented.

 

Liquidity risk

 

The Group maintains a liquidity policy that consists of contracting long-term credit commitment facilities and temporary financial investments for amounts sufficient to support the forecast needs in a given period which, in turn, is a function of the overall situation and expectations of the debt and capital markets.

 

The above-mentioned forecast needs include maturities of net financial debt, that is to say, net of financial derivatives.

 

As of June 30, 2022, the liquidity of Enel Chile Group was Ch$ 283,596 million in cash and cash equivalents and Ch$ 173,812 million in long-term committed credit lines. As of December 31, 2021, the liquidity of Enel Chile Group was Ch$ 309,975 million in cash and cash equivalents and Ch$ 118,469 million in long-term committed credit lines.

 

Credit risk

 

The Enel Chile Group continually monitors in depth all credit risks as described below:

 

Commercial Accounts receivable:

 

In relation to the credit risks of accounts receivable from commercial activities in our generation business, this risk has historically been quite limited given that clients cannot accumulate significant amounts due to short collection terms. To that effect, we continuously monitor the credit risk and measure the maximum amounts exposed to payment risk; which, as stated earlier, are quite limited.

 

   
 -32- 

ENEL CHILE

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ANALYSIS

AS OF JUNE 30, 2022

 

Regarding the credit risk corresponding to accounts receivable from the commercial activity of electricity distribution business, this risk is historically very limited since the short term of collection from customers means that they do not individually accumulate very significant amounts before the suspension of supply due to non-payment can occur, in accordance with the corresponding regulation. However, on August 8, 2020, Law 21,249 of Basic Services was published and during 2021 two extensions to Law 21,249 of Basic Services were published, which provides, on an exceptional basis, measures in favor of end users of sanitary services, electricity and gas network. The regulation established, until December 31, 2021, the prohibition to cut supply to residential customers (also to hospitals, health centers, homes for minors and senior citizens, non-profit organizations and micro-companies, among others). In February 2022, Law No. 21,423 established a payment schedule for all debts arising from the application of Law No. 21,249 and its extensions, i.e. for debts incurred in the period from March 18, 2020 to December 31, 2021, for customers with an average 2021 consumption of less than 250 kWh and who have debt from the period indicated above to February 11, 2022, through which each customer will receive a subsidy in 48 equal monthly installments, with a maximum limit equivalent to 15% of their average monthly billing for the year 2021. The balance of the debt that cannot be covered in the 48 installments will be absorbed in part (50%) by the company and the rest will be applied to the distribution tariffs in the tariff process after the end of the 48 installments. However, the customer loses its subsidy if it does not keep its account up to date. The collection system will begin on August 1, 2022.

 

The Group's portfolio has demonstrated, to date, resilience to face the global pandemic crisis. All this thanks to a strengthening of digital collection channels and a solid diversification of commercial clients that have had a low exposure to COVID impacts.

 

Financial assets:

 

Investments of cash surpluses are made with both national and foreign first-class financial entities with limits set for each entity. Investment banks selection considers those with Investment Grade rating, considering the three major international rating agencies (Moody’s, S&P and Fitch).

 

Investments may be guaranteed by treasury bonds of Chile and/or paper issued by first class banks, giving priority to those offering the best returns (always within the current investment policies).

 

Risk Measurement

 

The Enel Chile Group prepares a Value at Risk measurement for its own debt positions and financial derivatives, with the purpose of monitoring the risk taken on by the company, thus circumscribing Income Statement volatility.

 

 

 

   
 -33- 

ENEL CHILE

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ANALYSIS

AS OF JUNE 30, 2022

 

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 a quarter and with 95% certainty. To that effect, we have studied the volatility of the risk variables that affect the value of the positions portfolio in relation to the Chilean peso which including the exchange rates of the different currencies involved 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 changes.

 

Considering the assumptions described above, the Value at Risk at one quarter out of the foregoing positions corresponds to Ch$ 616,335 million.

 

This value represents the potential increase of the debt and derivatives portfolio, therefore this value at Risk is intrinsically related, amongst other factors, with the value of the portfolio at the end of each quarter.

 

 

OTHER RISKS

 

As is common practice in bank credit facilities and capital market operations, a portion of our financial debt, is subject to cross-default provisions. If certain non-payments are not corrected, they could result in a cross-default and eventually certain liabilities of Enel Generación Chile, EGP Chile or Enel Chile could become enforceable, as appropriate.

 

In connection with the credit line under New York State law, subscribed in June 2019 and maturing in June 2024, another subscribed in October 2021 and maturing in October 2025, and another one subscribed in April 2022 maturing in October 2023, prepayment may occur as a result of the non-payment -after any applicable grace period- of any other debt of Enel Chile whose individual outstanding principal amount exceeds the equivalent of US$150 million and whose amount in default also exceeds the equivalent of US$150 million. In addition, this credit line contains provisions under which certain events other than non-payment, such as Enel Chile's bankruptcy, insolvency, adverse enforceable court judgments in excess of US$300 million, among others, could lead to the acceleration of this debt.

 

   
 -34- 

ENEL CHILE

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ANALYSIS

AS OF JUNE 30, 2022

 

In connection with the bank loan under Chilean law, signed in July 2021 and maturing in June 2024, and another signed in December 2021 maturing in December 2026, prepayment may occur as a result of the non-payment - after any applicable grace period - of any other debt of Enel Chile whose individual outstanding principal amount exceeds the equivalent of US$ 150 million and whose amount in arrears also exceeds the equivalent of US$ 150 million. In addition, these loans contain provisions according to which certain events other than non-payment, in Enel Chile, such as bankruptcy, insolvency, adverse enforceable court judgments for an amount greater than US$150 million in the case of the loan maturing in June 2024 and US$300 million in the case of the loan maturing in December 2026, among others, could result in the declaration of acceleration of the loan.

 

Additionally, non-payment – after any applicable grace period – for any debt of Enel Chile or any of its subsidiaries, with a principal amount that exceeds US$ 150 million, or its equivalent in other currencies, could lead to the mandatory advance payment of its Yankee bonds. The acceleration of the debt due to cross default does not occur automatically, but must be demanded by the holders of at least 25% of the bonds of a certain Yankee Bonds series.

 

There are no credit-agreement clauses stating that changes in the corporate or debt rating of Enel Chile or its subsidiaries’ debt, performed by credit-rating agencies, would result in the need to make prepayments of debt.

III. BOOK VALUE AND ECONOMIC VALUE OF ASSETS

 

The following are the most important assets:

 

Property, plant, and equipment are valued at their acquisition cost, net of the corresponding accumulated depreciation, and impairment losses. The property, plant, and equipment, net of their residual value, depreciate by distributing the cost of their different components linearly over the years of the estimated useful life of the asset, which is the period in which the companies expect to use them. The estimated useful life of the asset is revised periodically.

 

Goodwill (lower value of investments or commercial funds) generated in the consolidation, 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, identifiable shareholdings in a subsidiary, as of the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized, but at the end of each accounting period an estimation of any impairment that might reduce its recoverable value to an amount below the recorded net cost is calculated, in which case an adjustment is made for the impairment. For additional information see Note 3.e. of the Financial Statements as of June 30, 2022.

 

Throughout the year and, primarily at its closing date, an evaluation is carried out to determine whether any asset might have suffered an impairment loss. In the event that there is an indication of such loss, an estimate of the recoverable value of such asset is made to determine the amount of the impairment. In the case of identifiable assets that do not generate cash flows independently, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs, which is considered to be the smallest group of assets that generate cash inflows independently.

 

Assets denominated in foreign currencies are presented at the exchange rate prevailing at the end of the period.

 

Accounts and notes receivable from related companies are classified according to their maturity in short-term and long-term. Transactions are adjusted to conditions prevailing in the market.

 

In summary, asset values are determined according to the International Financial Reporting Standards, whose criteria are included in Notes No. 2 and 3 of the Financial Statements of Enel Chile as of June 30, 2022.
