The EDP Group’s higher activity and the efficiency gains in its core business reflected in a healthy EBITDA and Net Profit growth of 9.1% and 10.5% respectively in the 1H2005.

 

Present in high growth markets

 

EDP continues to benefit from its exposure to the most dynamic electricity markets in Europe. Demand in Iberia posted a strong increase in the period - 6.4% in Portugal and 7.0% in Spain - while in Brazil, demand in EDP’s concession areas went up 3.4%.

 

EDP reaffirms itself as a client focused organisation with a strong value proposition

 

After improving its image and restructuring its commercial organisation in Portugal, during 2005 EDP focused on the commercial image of its subsidiaries in Spain; Hidrocantábrico and Naturcorp launched an integrated dual-fuel offer, electricity and gas, with positive results reflected in the greater number of clients.

 

EDP is now benefiting from efficiency improvements

 

The EDP Group was able to reduce its workforce by 2,600 employees vis-à-vis the 1H2004 due to the successful implementation of the HR Restructuring Program in 2003 and 2004 and to the sale of 60% of Edinfor to LogicaCMG. Personnel costs with active workers in the domestic core business (excluding severance payments) fell 4% year-on-year.

 

Operating performance also reflects the full consolidation of Hidrocantábrico’s P&L

 

Spanish activities were the main contributor to the improvement of the operating performance. Hidrocantábrico in Spain benefited from the rise in pool prices since it is long in generation vs. supply.

 

Domestic operations affected by high purchase costs

 

EDP Produção was affected by the high pool prices as a result of its short position in the non-binding generation vs. the energy management activity provided to EDP Comercial (liberalised supply). EDP Distribuição, despite benefiting from a strong increase in demand was negatively impacted by an increase in electricity purchase costs namelly high fuel costs, which will be passed through to tariffs in subsequent years.

 

Strong operating performance in Brazil

 

Operations in Brazil continued to post strong increases following consumption growth and tariff adjustments.

 

In July 2005, EDP’s Brazilian subsidiary, Energias do Brasil, started trading in the Novo Mercado of the Bovespa following Initial Public Offering

 

This operation gave visibility to Energias do Brasil as one of the leaders in the Brazilian energy market, and allowed EDP Grupo to control a vehicle that will be able to take advantage of new opportunities in the Brazilian electricity sector and to substantially strengthen the capital structure of Energias do Brasil, following proceeds of R$434.9m and the conversion of R$670m of Escelsa Senior Notes, held by EDP, into ordinary shares of Energias do Brasil.

Notes:

 

(1) The 1H2005 S&S include IT services in the amount of €49m to our IT department (“GSI”). Following the sale of Edinfor (previously owned by EDP) we started booking the services provided by that company as supplies & services rendered by an external entity. In the 1H2004, Edinfor had charged EDP €42.9m.
(2) The 1H2004 includes a €44.3m cost related to the NPV of the Human Resources Restructuring Program negotiated with ERSE and €10.9m of incentives mostly related to the anticipation to the retirement age programme. There is a €60m decrease in ‘pension premiums’ and ‘medical care provisions’ explained by the following: (i) in the 1H2004, we have increased provisions for pension liabilities by €23.1m and provisions for medical care liabilities by €5.0m following the 2004 actuarial study; (ii) in the 1H2005, we have reduced provisions for pension liabilities by €26.6m and provisions for medical care liabilities by €5.1m following the 2005 actuarial study.
(3) Other operating costs or revenues include an extraordinary provision of €83m, a capital gain from the sale of REE of €8m, a €15m capital gain on the sale of 60% of Edinfor and a €12m capital gain on the transfer to EDP’s pension fund of a 2.01% stake in BCP.

  EDP Produção’s EBITDA decreased 5.5% reflecting the negative impact of the high Spanish pool prices in the electricity purchase service provided to EDP Comercial. This impact was mitigated by the extra output provided by Ribatejo CCGT II and by a fall in personnel costs and social benefits.

 

  EPD Comercial’s EBITDA reflects the business growth in a more competitive environment.

 

  Despite the strong increase in demand, the negative change in EDP Distribuição’s EBITDA reflects a swing in fuel costs’ adjustments that affected the energy acquisition activity (note that these deviations are passed-through to tariffs in the following year). This negative impact in the gross profit was partly offset by a 20.4% decrease in operating costs.

 

  EDP fully consolidated Hidrocantábrico’s P&L for the first time in 2005. Hidrocantábrico posted a strong EBITDA increase (+47.0%) following the sharp rise in pool prices from €32/MWh to €57/MWh. The consequent system tariff deviation was not deducted (€89m for HC) from revenues, given the strong likelihood of recovery. In April 2005, HC sold its 3% stake in REE with a capital gain of €31.9m. However at the EDP consolidated level this capital gain reflects in €8.3m since REE’s stake was accounted at YE2004’s at market value.

 

  Brazil continues to provide strong growth. All activities in Brazil posted an EBITDA increase in the 1H2005 following higher volumes in the distribution and supply activities, the positive impact of the annual tariff adjustments in distribution and lower electricity purchase costs than the established by regulation (note that these deviations are passed-through to tariffs in the following year). Following the corporate restructuring in Brazil, which is expected to yield further efficiency gains when fully implemented, Energias do Brasil owns 100% of its distribution subsidiaries after the roll-up of minorities into the holding level which reduced EDP’s stake in Energias do Brasil to 69%. This stake was reduced to 66% in July 2005, following the IPO.

 

  Oni’s EBITDA increased 70.5% year-on-year, as a result of a positive evolution of the mix of services provided by Comunitel and a strict control of personnel costs and supplies & services other than those related to clients’ acquisition and retention. In July 2005, Oni reached an agreement to sell Comunitel for €215m.

 

  ‘Other’ and adjustments include -€23m related to the adjustment of the capital gain from REE, a €12m capital gain on the transfer to EDP’s pension fund of a 2.01% stake in BCP, a €15m capital gain on the sale of 60% of Edinfor, and the creation of a one-off provision of €83m.

  The EDP Group’s capital expenditures totalled €515.6m in the 1H2005, up 16.4% year-on-year, on the back of the initial construction works of the third 392 MW unit at the Ribatejo CCGT, investments in the Portuguese distribution grid, the construction of the Peixe Angical power plant in Brazil, investments related to the mandatory universal connection programme of all low voltage consumers in Brazil and the full consolidation of Hidrocantábrico’s operating investment (40% in the 1H2004). Note that the figures presented correspond to the EDP Group’s cash out flow on operating investments, considering the consolidation method for each subsidiary.

 

  The bulk of EDPP’s capex in the 1H2005 was allocated to the construction works of the third 392 MW unit of the Ribatejo CCGT (€33.4m). As of June 2005, €102.0m had already been invested in this unit. Total investment is expected to reach €197m by 2006, when it should start operations. In addition, in the 2Q2005, EDPP started investing in works to reduce SO2 and NOX emissions at the Sines Power Plant (€8.2m). Total estimated environmental investments at Sines will amount to approximately €250m.

 

  In order to improve the quality of service, EDPD’s capex focused on the distribution network. Investments in the distribution grid, accounting for 93% of EDPD’s operating investment, increased 9.2% year-on-year, which along with favourable weather conditions, allowed for a 17.6% improvement of Equivalent Interruption Time (100min. in the 1H2004 vs. 82min. in the 1H2005).

 

  More than 50% of Hidrocantábrico’s capex was allocated to the construction of new wind farms. During 2005 capacity is expected to increase by 140MW, representing a total investment for the year of approximately €120m. In 2005 the following wind farms should start operations: Las Lomillas (50MW – 50% held by Genesa) (July); La Sotonera (19MW) (July); La Brújula (74 MW) (September); and El Boquerón (22 MW) (December). In addition, HC started the environmental investments ( €9m in the 1H2005) related to the reduction of SO2 and NOx at Aboño and Soto, in order to comply with EU directives until the end of 2007. Total estimated investment in the 2005-2007 period amounts to approximately €140m.

 

  Peixe Angical hydro power plant (450 MW) represented 60% of the capex in Brazil. Investments in this project amounted to R$307.8m (€108.0m) in the 1H2005 and EDP expects to invest a total of R$540m in 2005 and a further R$186m in 2006, when it should start operations. Note that this figure corresponds to 100% of the project, of which EDP owns 60%. The project is also being financed through a R$670m loan with BNDES. In addition, capex in Brazil includes a total R$66.1m (€23.2m) related to the mandatory universal connection programme – “Universalização” – to all low voltage consumers.

  The EDP Group’s total net debt increased by €438.3m, vis-à-vis YE2004, to €8,973.1m. Despite operating cash flow in the 1H2005 amounting to €672.8m, financial debt increased following capital expenditures of €515.6m, the annual dividend payment of €336.0m, financial investments of €155.1m and a hydro correction payment to REN of €98.9m due to a very dry period which had an impact on the operating cash flow. In this period EDP divested from REE (€76m), concluded the sale of 60% of Edinfor to LogicaCMG (€81m) and sold an office building to REN (€21m).

 

  Financial investments in the period consisted of: i) the purchase of a 46.625% stake in Portgás (€85.0m), the second gas distribution company in Portugal with 126 thousand clients (by the end of 2004 EDP already had acquired a 12.9% indirect stake in this company for €66.9m); ii) the acquisition of an additional 20% stake in Turbogás (€52.0m), which owns a 990 MW CCGT power plant, increasing EDP’s stake in that company to 40%; and iii) the purchase of 2 wind farms, for €18.1M, with 53 MW in the pipeline, of which 12 MW should come into service in September 2005 and 42 MW in June 2006.

 

  The replacement of Hidrocantábrico’s long term financial debt with inter-company loans explains the swing in the external financial debt at the Holding level and at Hidrocantábrico. This debt restructuring process, which was concluded at the beginning of 2005 with the replacement of €1,375m, will result in consolidated financial cost savings (estimated at €6m per year).

 

  Net debt allocated to the Iberian core business fell from €5,436 in the 1H2004 to €5,291 in the 1H2005 due to the strong cash flow generation of these businesses. The net debt increase in Brazil is explained by the Real appreciation against the Euro (27% since YE2004) and by the funding obtained from BNDES (R$603.3m or €211.7m as of June 2005), related to the construction of Peixe Angical 450 MW hydro power plant that should be concluded during 2006.

Financial results were influenced by:

 

A €13.9m increase in “Income from group and associated cos.” that includes the following main positive impacts: i) a €7.8m equity contribution from REN, as a consequence of the dividends received from GalpEnergia (18.3% owned by REN); ii) the initial consolidation of Portgás (+€5.0m), a gas distribution company, following the exercise in December 2004 of the call option on 60% of its share capital; and iii) the increase in EDP’s stake in Turbogás (from 20% to 40%) which balanced the impact from the company’s lower net profit (+€2.7m). These were mitigated by the negative contribution from Edinfor (-€5.8m) that started to be equity consolidated as from January 2005 (previously fully consolidated in EDP’s accounts) after the sale of 60% of the company to LogicaCMG.

 

The €20.1m increase in “Investment Income”, is due to i) the distribution of dividends from GalpEnergia (14.27% owned by EDP), which amounted to €23.7m in the 1H2005, whereas in 2004 the company only distributed dividends in the 4Q; ii) lower dividends received from MillenniumBCP (€5.0m), following the early distribution of part of the 2005 dividend in the 4Q2004.

 

Net financial interest paid” increased 11.1% reflecting i) the increase in debt from the full consolidation of Hidrocantábrico (previously 40% consolidated) in the 1H2005 (+€26.0m), ii) mitigated by the fall in the average cost of debt from 3.99% to 3.75% (-€10.1m).

 

Net foreign exchange differences” in the 1H2005 mainly reflect the effect of the 13% appreciation of the Brazilian Real against the US Dollar on the dollar denominated debt in Brazil (7% depreciation in the 1H2004).

 

The drop in “Other” financial gains and losses include i) the hedge of Bandeirante’s US Dollar denominated debt (-€21.4m), which compensated the gain in “Net Forex differences”; ii) and the negative result from the implementation of IAS39, regarding the fair value of the derivatives (-€8.3m).

  Portugal’s electricity demand continued to show a healthy growth rate of 6.8% from the 1H2004 to 23.6 TWh. The EDP Group accounted for 54% of the total energy delivered to the system (stable from 55% in the 1H2004).

 

  EDP’s electricity generation output went up 2.7% year-on-year, due to i) a five fold increase in output from fuel-oil power plants and ii) the contribution of the second 392 MW unit of the Ribatejo CCGT that started operating in the 4Q2004. These effects offset the impact of the lower utilisation of EDP’s hydroelectric power stations - 50% of EDP’s installed capacity in Portugal – in one of the driest periods of the last years (hydro coefficient of 0.33 vs. 0.81 in the 1H2004).

 

  As a result the contribution of EDP’s Hydro plants to total Group domestic generation fell from 44% in the 1H2004 to 19% in the 1H2005. However, EDP’s gross profit is only marginally affected by swings in generation output or fuel costs hikes (see in next page) since 86% of its installed capacity in Portugal is bound to long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) in the Public Electricity System (PES).

  Gross Profit in the Public Electricity System (PES) went up 1.5% reflecting the stable return profile of the PPA Capacity Charge and the pass-through of fuel costs by means of the PPA Energy Charge. The slight increase in the PPA Capacity Charge in the period reflects inflation, mitigated by both i) the lower availability factors (km) at the hydro power stations (hydro km: 1.040 in 1H2005 vs. 1.048 in 1H2004) and ii) the decommissioning in December 2004 of the 47MW Tapada do Outeiro plant (€3.0m contribution in the 1H2004). The fuel procurement margin (Energy Charge minus Fuel Costs) decreased from €10.3m in 1H2004 vs. €9.0m in 1H2005 as a result of i) the lower spreads between EDPP’s acquisition costs and the international fuel prices’ indices (used as benchmark to calculate the PPA Energy Charge) experienced in the 1H2005 and ii) the negative impact in the 1H2004’s fuel procurement margin from the revaluation of EDPP’s coal stocks (€2.8m).

 

  Gross Profit in the Non-Binding Electricity System (NBES) decreased to €14.2m following i) an approximately 60% reduction in the energy delivered to EDPD (“parcela livre”) and ii) the negative impact of high pool prices in the 1H2005 on the electricity purchase service provided by EDPP to EDP Comercial (EDPC): EDPP guarantees EDPC’s electricity purchase price, shielding EDPC’s commercial activity from the short-term pool price volatility. The non-binding generation did benefit from the extra output provided by the second unit of the Ribatejo CCGT, which more than compensated for the lower volumes generated by the hydro plants operating in the NBES.

 

  Gross Profit from Special Regime Producers (SRP) decreased because of the 42% fall in output from the small hydro power stations (with installed capacities lower than 10 MW) as a result of the dry period. The 25.9% increase in gross profit from EDP’s cogenerators was driven by the rise in output to the system (more than doubled in the 1H2005) and the increase in the selling price to industrial clients (which is indexed to the average cost of natural gas), mitigated by the increase in fuel costs.

  EDPP’s EBITDA dropped 5.5% following the negative impacts of lower sales to EDPD and of the high pool prices on the gross profit of the non-binding activity of EDPP, despite a 10.3% decrease in operating costs as explained below.

 

  Supplies and Services increased €7.0m as a result of i) higher maintenance costs (+€4.3m) due to the late implementation of CPPE’s annual maintenance program in 2004 (+€2.6m), higher maintenance in the fuel-oil power stations as a result of the higher utilisation, the start of operations of Ribatejo’s second 400MW unit and repair works in Soporgen (+€0.9m); ii) an exceptional charge (+€1.9m) related to advisory fees on the CMECs; and iii) higher charges from EDP S.A. (+€2.5m) - following the new group policy of allocating to the business units the costs of services rendered by the holding company - and EDP Valor (+€0.2m).

 

  Personnel costs decreased 12.8% reflecting i) the 11.2% reduction in the number of employees which resulted in a 4.4% fall in salaries paid (despite a 2.9% avg. salary increase in 2005); and ii) fewer negotiated dismissals in the period which reduced severance payments by €1.2m (€1.6m in the 1H2004). The reduction in the number of employees in the 2Q2005 includes the transfer of 62 employees from EDPP to EDP Valor.

 

  Costs with social benefits fell €12.1m (-69.4%) from the 1H2004 due to: i) an €4.4m increase in pension premiums in the 1H2004 to account for the insufficiency identified in the 2004 actuarial study; ii) €2.6m premiums paid under the flexible retirement program in 1H2004; iii) a €3.4m decrease in pension premiums to account for the excess identified by the 2005 actuarial study in 1H2005 and iv) the fact that the 1H2005 is benefiting from reduction in other costs with inactive personnel that, following the flexible retirement program accepted partial payment from the Portuguese Social Security System.

 

  Operating investment decreased 37.1%, following the end of the construction of the second unit of the Ribatejo CCGT. The third unit of this power station represented approximately 50% of the total capex in the period. The increase in operating investments in binding generation is related to the beginning, in the 2Q2005, of both i) the works to reduce SO2 and NOx emissions at the Sines power station (€8.2m) and ii) the start of the project for Baixo Sabor hydro power station (€1.5m).

  Total energy supplied in the NBES grew 40% YoY to 4,422 GWh in the 1H2005, now representing 20% of the total consumption in Portugal (15% in the 1H2004).

 

  The Portuguese liberalised market is at an early stage of development and thus the net selling price reflects the cost of capturing new clients. Consequently the more than four fold increase in the number of EDPC’s clients had a negative price effect of €9.3m in the gross profit of the company.

 

  EDPC has a fixed price contract (reviewed periodically) with EDPP’s energy management department which procures electricity (namely in the Spanish pool) on behalf of EDPC. This shielded EDPC’s gross profit from the hike in electricity prices and high fuel costs.

  Installed capacity increased 46MW, relatively to 1H2004, following the entry into service of two wind farms in 2004 – Vila Nova I (20 MW) in July 2004 and Serra do Açor (20 MW) in September 2004 – and the re-powering of Vila Nova I (6 MW), in April 2005.

 

  Following this increase in capacity, wind electricity generation increased 66%, attaining a total output of 161 GWh in the first 6M2005. Wind generation was also influenced by a higher number of wind hours in the 1H2005 versus 1H2004, resulting in an increase of the wind power load factor to 26.0% versus 24.6% in the same period last year.

 

  Gross Profit went up by 63.5%, following the increasing renewable generation while EBITDA increased by 49.3% to €12.2m despite the rise in operating costs (mainly Supplies and Services and Generation Centre Rentals) due to new capacity becoming operational.

 

  S&S increased essentially due to the maintenance costs generated by wind farms exiting the two years’ warranty period. In 1H2005, Enernova had 65 MW with more than two years, compared to 41 MW in 1H2004. Generation Centre Rentals is a variable charge, as a percentage of the energy sold, that each wind farm has to pay both to municipalities and to landowners, thus more capacity in operation and output implies an increase in this line item cost.

 

  Investments in the 1H2005 totalled €28.6m, the bulk of which was dedicated to new wind capacity. Out of the total amount, €18.1m relates to the financial investment made in EASA in the 1Q2005. Through this transaction Enernova acquired 2 wind farms with 53 MW in the pipeline, out of which 12 MW should start operating in September 2005 and a further 42 MW in June 2006. The completion of this transaction is conditional on a non-opposition decision by the Portuguese Competition Authority. Capital expenditure in the period amounted to €10.5m and relates mainly to the investments made in Vila Nova I and Serra do Açor wind farms and in the repowering of Vila Nova I. Additionally, Enernova is working on the repowering of Pena Suar (+6 MW - 4Q2005) and Fonte da Quelha / Alto do Talefe (+3 MW - 4Q2005) wind farms.

 

Load Factor: number of equivalent hours to the output of a wind farm relative to the total number of hours in the period, considering the date of entry into industrial service of each wind farm.

  In the 1H2005, electricity demand went up 6.8% year-on-year, to 21.8 TWh. Consumption was driven by a cold winter (1.4p.p.) and by the fact that co-generators opted to sell to the system all the energy they produced at special regime’s prices, then buying back the necessary energy from the system at lower tariffs. In addition, Portuguese electricity consumption growth reflects the 34% lower electricity consumption per capita vis-à-vis the European average.

 

  Full liberalisation of the electricity market occurred in August 2004 with the extension of the eligibility threshold to all LV customers. The applicable regulations were issued in January and July 2005, nevertheless, the ability of LV clients to choose their supplier still depends on the development of IT solutions.

 

  Electricity sales in the binding system increased by a mere 0.7% year-on-year, reflecting the transfer of some MV and SLV clients to the liberalised market. The increase in electricity sales from HV and VHV segments reflects an increase in the number of EDPD clients and the fact that in June 2004 one important industrial client (VHV) interrupted its activity.

  EDPD’s allowed revenues decreased 2.7% year-on-year:

 

(a) The Use of the Distribution Grid (UDGr) revenues were up 1.8% as the higher electricity-flow at EDPD’s network more than offset the 4% average unit’s revenue reduction for this activity;

 

(b) Allowed revenues for the Network Supply (NS) and the Supply in the Public system (SPS) activities fell 20.0% following: (i) a reduction in their regulated rate of return from 9.0% to 8.5%; (ii) a 13.8% decrease of structural commercial costs; and (iii) a lower regulated asset base allocated to the NS activity, due to a re-allocation of investment subsidies from the UDGr activity to the NS activity in the last regulatory review (therefore with no impact on the total asset value of the 3 regulated activities);

 

(c) Allowed revenues for the 1H2005 also include an €18.9m recovery (through tariffs) of costs incurred within the scope of EDPD’s Human Resources Restructuring Program.

 

  Costs with electricity purchases rose 12.8% year-on-year mostly due to: (i) an increase in electricity distributed; (ii) a 44% average increase in the Global Use of the System tariff (GUS), following the 2005 tariff review mostly related to an

increase of Special Regime Generation, which was reflected in an additional €64.4m in costs (a pass-through to the tariff); and (iii) an €81.7m increase in fuel costs related to a swing from last year in quarterly adjustments - 1H2005 fuel costs’ adjustments totalled €73.5m of which €21.2m, related to HV/MV, were recovered through the tariffs in the 1H2005 and €52.3m, related to LV, will be passed through to tariffs in 2006.

 

  Electricity gross profit fell 18.9% year-on-year:

 

(a) Real consumption for the 1H2004 came above ERSE’s forecast for the period, reflected into a €78.8m negative tariff difference between allowed revenues and electricity gross profit;

 

(b) Electricity gross profit for the 1H2005 was €38.5m below allowed revenues for the period due to: (i) the above-mentioned €52.3m fuel costs adjustment (related to the LV segment), to be recovered next year; which was partly offset by (ii) the fact that real consumption for the binding system came 6.4% above ERSE’s forecast for the period, implying that EDPD has to return to the tariffs in two years time the fixed component of electricity purchases that the company received in excess through the tariffs.

  Group supplies & services went up 8.0% year-on-year due to: (i) a €5.2m increase in IT costs (due to improvement on timely invoicing in 1H2005); and (ii) higher management fees invoiced by EDP Valor (+€2.0m), which were partly offset by the 1H2005 accounting of commercial support services provided by Edinfor as “non-group” (-€4.2m from the 1H2004), following the sale of 60% of this company to LogicaCMG.

 

  Non-group supplies & services rose 16.3% reflecting: (i) a €3.2m increase in setup costs in the re-branding of EDPD’s commercial network; (ii) the 1H2005 accounting of supplies & services provided by Edinfor as “non-group” (€3.8m) and (iii) a €1.3m increase in maintenance costs due to the higher recourse to external services that followed the reduction of the number of employees.

 

  Personnel costs decreased 4.8% year-on-year explained by: (i) a 12% decrease in the number of employees, which reflected in a 4.2% decrease in salaries with active workers (following a 2.9% avg. salary increase in 2005); and (ii) lower costs with severance payments (-€4.9m from €6.6m in the 1H2004).

 

  Costs with social benefits fell 91.1% year-on-year due to: (i) a €44.3m cost (NPV) related to the Human Resources Restructuring Program accounted in the 1H2004; (ii) €8.2m of incentives mostly related to the anticipated retirement programmes booked in the 1H2004; (iii) a €17.9m increase in pension premiums in the 1H2004 to account for the insufficiency identified by the 2004 actuarial study; and (iv) a €22.3m decrease in pension premiums in the 1H2005 to account for the surplus identified by the 2005 actuarial study. In both 1H2005 and 1H2004, costs with salaries paid to early retirees were offset through the use of a provision created for this purpose at EDPD’s accounts.

 

  Operating Investment in the distribution grid increased 9.2% year-on-year, which along with favourable weather conditions allowed for a 17.6% improvement of Equivalent Interruption Time.

  Demand in the Spanish electricity market continued to show strong growth in the period, increasing 7.0% versus the 1H2004, or 4.1% when corrected for temperature effects and working days. HC’s generation was up 7.1% following: i) an overall increase in thermal output in a very dry period (hydro coefficient of 0.45 vs. 0.82 in the 1H2004); ii) a lower utilisation of Aboño II (536 MW) due to repair works; and iii) a programmed stoppage in Soto II (236 MW) due to triennial maintenance works.

 

  Gross profit of the Generation and Supply activities increased 57.0% vis-à-vis 1H2004 as a result of i) the strong increase in electricity wholesale prices with a €188m positive impact on gross profit; ii) a marginal increase in average fuel cost per MWh (negative impact of €19m); iii) a €8.5m provision related to the consumption in excess of CO2 emission allowances following the very dry period; iv) the increase in the supply purchase price as a result of the hike in pool prices (-€69m in gross profit); and v) the fact that in the 1H2004 HC was able to recover €14.6m worth of CTCs.

 

  The Spanish pool price is still at high levels, €57.2/MWh in the 1H2005 vs. €31.6/MWh in the 1H2004, following a very dry period, higher fuel costs and a strong increase in peak demand. However, the revenues from the regulated electricity tariff were not enough to cover the strong increase in the system’s generation costs, therefore causing a tariff deficit for the system. According to Spanish law HC has to finance 6.08% of the tariff deviation (€88.9m estimated for the 1H2005). Following the same accounting procedure applied in the 1Q2005, this was not deducted from revenues and was accounted as an asset due to the high likelihood of its recovery.

 

  Average fuel costs increased 13.1% versus the 1H2004 mainly due to higher natural gas costs since the 2H2004, on the back of higher oil prices. Notwithstanding, HC continues to be able to reduce the average variable costs of its coal power plants by 2.5% and 6.2% vis-à-vis 1Q2005 and 4Q2004, respectively.

 

  CO2 emissions at HC’s thermal power plants reached 6m tons in the 1H2005. Due to the very dry period, which resulted in higher utilisation of thermal power plants, CO2 emissions were 0.3m tons above the estimated emission allowances to be consumed in the period. For this purpose HC booked a €8.5m provision as a direct activity cost. For the period 2005-2007 HC has 34.7m tones of CO2 allowances.

(1) Includes wholesale market, ancillary services and capacity payment.
(2) Excluding hydroelectric emission to calculate the average.
(3) Load Factor: number of equivalent hours to the output of a power plant relative to the total number of hours in the period.

Gas Consumption in the Spanish system was up 20% in the 1H2005 mainly due to higher demand of the electricity sector, which accounted for 75% of this increase, following the higher electricity generation based on CCGT technology during this dry period. Excluding the electricity sector, the conventional demand for gas increased 6% in the period following the cold winter and the increase in the number of clients, particularly in the liberalised segment.

 

Gas Distributed by Hidrocantábrico went up 3.1% and the number of consumers increased 7.4% (+41,292 consumers versus the 1H2004). The slowdown in growth rates in the 2Q2005 is related to seasonality of demand. According to the “Ministerial Order” that sets the revenues for the Spanish regulated gas activities for 2005, of the €1,179.7m attributed to the gas distribution activity, €120.8m or 10% were allocated to Naturcorp and its subsidiaries (€108.9m considering the consolidation method of its subsidiaries). This represents a 12% increase versus 2004’s regulated revenues for the gas distribution activity reflecting the estimated demand and the increase in number of consumers for 2005.

 

Gas Supplied to liberalised clients rose 27.5% driven by the strong increase (more than 3 fold vs. 1H2004) in the number of clients, which is the result of an efficient promotion of a dual-fuel offer (power+gas) launched in the 2Q2005. This strategy is allowing HC to secure clients that are switching from its regulated market to the non-regulated market. Hidrocantábrico increased its market share in the liberalised market (excluding supply to the electricity sector) from 4% in the 1H2004 to 5% in the 1H2005.

 

Hidrocantábrico’s sales in both the regulated and liberalised gas market to final consumers amounted to 9,890 GWh, up 18% in volume versus 1H2004. Consequently, Hidrocantábrico’s retail market share increased to 7% in the 1H2005 from 6% in the 1H2004 (excluding the electricity sector).

Generation & Supply: The EBITDA of the electricity generation and supply activities increased 57.0% following the strong increase in gross margin. Operating costs were influenced by i) costs previously booked at the holding level that now are allocated to each of the activities (€8.5m in Generation and Supply); and ii) a €11.6 provision to cover potential margin losses in the supply activity, given the current high wholesale prices versus HC’s contracts at fixed prices with liberalised clients, which will only be renewed during 2006.

 

Electricity Distribution: The increase in regulated revenues, recognised in the 2005 tariff, attributable to Hidrocantábrico, contributed to the 1.8% growth of this activity’s gross margin. Operating costs were influenced by i) costs at the holding level that were allocated to this activity (€6.9m in the 1H2005); and ii) higher intra-group costs associated with commercial services rendered by the Supply to the Distribution activity, which started to be provided during 2004 (this impact is eliminated in consolidation).

 

Gas: This activity’s P&L reflects mainly the performance of the Naturcorp Group (56.2% held by Hidrocantábrico). Naturcorp’s activities comprise: i) the distribution of gas in the regulated market; ii) the supply of gas to regulated and non-regulated consumers; iii) the management of its 1.1bcm sourcing contract with Trinidad & Tobago; and iv) the commercialisation of electricity to liberalised clients in the Basque Country in order to leverage on its strong presence in that region to promote a dual-fuel offer. In the 1H2005, gross profit increased 5.8% following an 11% increase in regulated revenues and a drop in the margin of the supply activity as a result of the increase in the cost of gas given the high oil prices. It is important to note that the bulk of Naturcorp’s EBITDA (90%) comes from the regulated distribution activity, thus providing stable operating cash-flows. During the 1H2005, Naturcorp changed its commercial image and launched a marketing campaign to promote its dual-fuel offer to liberalised clients, which had an impact on operating costs and EBITDA.

 

Special Regime: Net output went up 138% to 537 GWh following the capacity increase from 161 MW in the 1H2004 to 346 MW in the 1H2005 (+124 MW in wind, +39 MW in waste and +18 MW in cogeneration). Wind farms reached 223 MW of installed capacity and their output increased from 107 GWh in the 1H2004 to 240 GWh in the 1H2005. Gross profit increased from €11.3m in the 1H2004 to €30.8m in the 1H2005 (the difference with the reported figures presented in the table above comes from the exclusion of construction and engineering activities). During 2005 the following wind farms should start operations: Las Lomillas (50MW – 50% held by Genesa) (July); La Sotonera (19MW) (July); La Brújula (74 MW) (September); and El Boquerón (22 MW) (December).


* Includes €32m capital gain on the sale of the 3% stake in REE.

Consolidated EBITDA in the 1H2005 increased 47% following:

 

i) the strong increase in gross margin with an 85% contribution from the generation and supply activities while the special regime activity contributed 12%, the gas activity 5% and the distribution activity 1%;

 

ii) the increase in supplies and services due to the marketing campaign at Naturcorp to promote a dual-fuel offer and a new commercial image (€2m), and also due to the increase in installed capacity in the special regime activity (€6.3m);

 

iii) the increase in personnel costs due to the creation of a provision for personnel restructuring costs (€4.2m), salary increases for 2005 and a higher number of employees (€3.3m);

 

iv) a €11.6 provision to cover potential margin losses in the supply activity, given the current high wholesale prices versus HC’s contracts at fixed prices with liberalised clients, which will only be renewed during 2006 (included in other operating costs or revenues);

 

v) a €31.9m capital gain from the sale of HC’s 3% stake in REE for €76m (included in other operating costs or revenues).

 

  Financial results improved 16.8% mainly due to the 19% reduction in net interest payable to €32.2m, following the replacement of HC’s external debt with cheaper inter-company loans from EDP (€1,300m as of June 2005).

 

  Net Profit increased almost three fold vis-à-vis 1H2004, reaching €101.3m, following the strong operating performance and the capital gain on the sale of REE.

  Total electricity distributed by Energias do Brasil increased 3.4%. Consumption in Escelsa and Enersul’s concession areas increased 6.2% and 5.3%, respectively, following stronger economic growth in those regions, high temperatures in the summer and an increase in the number of clients. At Bandeirante, the consumption increased 1.2% following a reduction in the residencial segment, which was offset by the increase in the industrial (captive + free clients) and commercial segments as a result of the stronger economic growth in the São Paulo region.

 

  Bandeirante’s gross profit increased 33.9% following the average 15.95% tariff increase granted in the October 2004 tariff adjustment and electricity purchase costs below the amount recognised in the October tariff adjustment (R$31m difference). This is mainly explained by i) the purchase of the energy in the electricity auctions at lower prices; and ii) the positive effect of the appreciation of the real against the dollar (22% since October 2004) in the electricity purchases to Itaipú power plant. Non-controllable costs are a pass-through computed in the annual tariff adjustments, and differences in costs between those agreed in the tariff adjustments and the real figures are recovered or given back in the following tariff adjustment.

 

  Escelsa’s gross profit increased 20.2% following the 6.2% consumption growth and the 4.96% tariff increase granted in the August 2004 revision. In addition, Escelsa also benefited from lower electricity purchase costs than those recognised in the August 2004 tariff revision (R$19m difference), mainly explained by lower prices at electricity auctions and the effect of the appreciation of the Real (25% since August 2004) in the electricity purchases to Itaipú power plant.

 

  Enersul’s gross profit increased 40.1% benefiting from a 5.3% consumption growth and the 20.69% average tariff increase granted in April 2005 tariff adjustment. This adjustment includes a 2.46% item related to the positive correction on the tariff increase granted in the April 2003 revision, from 42.26% to 50.81%, to take into account the final Regulatory Asset Base, depreciation rate and accepted costs, for the period from April 2003 to April 2008. The retroactive effects of this adjustment, from April 2003 to April 2005, amounts to R$75m and will be gradually recovered until April 2008.

 


(1) Includes invoices from the extraordinary tariff granted by ANNEL to recover the 2001/2002 rationing losses and recovery of non-controlable costs (“Parcela A”) prior to Oct. 2001; Values deducted of VAT.

  Bandeirante’s EBITDA increased 46.7% in the 1H2005 thanks to the performance at the gross profit level and despite the R$19.9m increase in operating costs related to improvements in the service provided to clients. During 2004 Bandeirante implemented an integrated modernisation program which impacted software fees and supplies and services after the 1Q2004. This includes the “Customer Care & Service” system to improve client management and the implementation of a technical information system (beginning of 2005). Nevertheless, operating costs as a percentage of the gross profit decreased from 42.5% in the 1H2004 to 37.0% in the 1H2005.

 

  Escelsa’s EBITDA increased 22.2% in the 1H2005, following the gross profit’s strong growth. At the operating costs level, the 17.4% increase is mainly related to higher services costs due to the outsourcing of network maintenance teams and increased costs related to meter readings, electricity re-connections and billing, as a result of the growing activity. Operating costs as a percentage of the gross profit decreased from 42.6% in the 1H2004 to 41.7% in the 1H2005. The increase in capex is mainly related to the mandatory universal connection programme – “Universalização” – to all low voltage consumers (R$27.6m in the 1H2005).

 

  At Enersul, the 40.1% increase of the gross profit was the main contributor to the 62.7% rise in EBITDA. The company incurred in higher costs with the mailing of invoices following: i) a court decision in the 2Q2004 that all invoices have to be sent by post; and ii) a 4% increase in the number of clients. Additionally, Enersul incurred in higher costs with maintenance services, IT services and commercial services associated with the network enlargement. Operating costs as a percentage of the gross margin decreased from 46.0% in the 1H2004 to 37.3% in the 1H2005. The increase in capex is mainly related to the mandatory universal connection programme – “Universalização” – to all low voltage consumers (R$36.2m in the 1H2005).

 

  Generation & Trading activities’ EBITDA increased 75.2% as a result of the strong top-line performance. EDP’s right on the Lajeado hydro power plant’s output amounted to 759 GWh and electricity sales increased 14.7% from R$41.2m to R$47.2m following the tariff increase, which is linked to inflation (IGMP). Regarding the trading and supply activity, Enertrade increased its electricity supply by 36% from 2,336 GWh in the 1H2004 to 3,179 GWh in the 1H2005. Following the increase in volumes sold and a decrease in the unit cost of electricity purchases, the electricity gross profit of this activity increased from R$21.5m in the 1H2004 to $R44.1m in the 1H2005. Capex in the construction of the Peixe Angical hydro power plant amounted to R$307.8m in the period. In 2005, R$540m should be invested in the project plus a further R$186m in 2006, when it should start operating.

  EBITDA of EDP’s activities in Brazil increased 43.5% following higher electricity sales and higher tariffs. The distribution activity contributed with 86% to the gross profit increase, while the generation and trading represented 14%.

 

  The 18.8% increase in operating costs in the period is mainly explained by higher costs associated with: i) improvements in the service provided to distribution clients; ii) maintenance services and more electricity cuts in the case of unpaid bills and the subsequent re-connections; and iii) higher costs related to the increased activity. The increase in personnel costs was lower than inflation, benefiting from a reduction in the number of employees (-73 vis-à-vis 1H2004), mainly in the distribution activity

 

  Financial results improved R$212.5m in the 1H2005, mainly due to the positive effect of the appreciation of the Real against the US Dollar (+13% in 2005) on the dollar denominated debt. Net foreign exchange differences improved from -R$115.2m in the 1H2004 to +R$183.4m in the 1H2005. Dollar denominated debt mainly comprises the US$431m of Escelsa Senior Notes and Bandeirante’s US$100m funding obtained from the Interamerican Development Bank (IDB). The hedge of Bandeirante’s debt with the IDB partly offset the strong forex gains in the period with a loss of R$52.6m. Regarding Escelsa, it is important to note that at June 2005 EDP held 83% of the Senior Notes.

 

  Following the corporate reorganisation implemented in April 2005, with the roll-up of the minority shareholders of the distribution subsidiaries, EDP reduced its stake in Energias do Brasil to 69%. In July 2005, shares of Energias do Brasil were admitted to the Novo Mercado of the Bovespa following an Initial Public Offering, which along with the convertion of R$670m of Escelsa Senior Notes held by EDP into Energias do Brasil sharecapital, resulted in a further decrease of EDP’s stake to 66%.

 

  Net Profit in local currency amounted to R$209.5m. The 1H2005 figure is not directly comparable, since most of the minority interests are now reflected at the EDP level, following the roll-up of the minorities of the distribution subsidiaries. 2004’s comparable Net Profit amounts to -R$20.8m. In Euro terms, EDP benefited from the appreciation of the Real, which in the 1H2005 the average BRL/Euro rate was 3.23 versus 3.65 in the 1H2004.

  Gross adds increased 51.7% year-on-year, on the back of a strategic focus on direct access clients and the launch of Oni Duo (bundle of voice & broad band Internet).

 

  Voice traffic increased 10.8% year-on-year, as a result of a 37% growth in the carriers’ segment. The residential segment’s voice traffic decreased due to the erosion of indirect access clients, which was not yet compensated by the growth in voice traffic from direct access clients (which more than doubled versus the 1H2004).

 

  Operating revenues increased 4.9% year-on-year – excluding the proceeds from Voice Value Added Services, a business that was terminated due to regulatory changes in Spain - on the back of increasing in revenues from both data & Internet and other telecommunication services (e-services and infra-structure services provided to corporate clients).

 

  Operating Investment totaled € 15.4m in the 1H2005, up 17.2% year-on-year, due to the investments made at the ADSL network (namely broadband central offices) and the acquisition of equipments for corporate clients’ solutions and on. These items are related to an increased focus on broadband Internet services and to the increase in the number of clients.

  Proceeds from voice telecommunication services, excluding Voice Value Added Services in Spain, were up 4.1% year-on-year, affected by: (i) a decrease in residential voice services from indirect access clients at Oni Telecom, following Oni’s strategic decision to focus on direct access clients; and (ii) an increase in Corporate and Carrier Voice traffic.

 

  Revenues from Data & Internet services were up 10.2% year-on-year, on the back of: (i) an improved offer of direct access through ULL (Unbundling of the Local Loop); and (ii) an increase in revenues from broadband Internet (+€6.5m).

 

  Gross profit at the Oni Group increased 5.4% year-on-year (or +3.4 p.p.), mostly due to a positive evolution of the services mix provided by Comunitel, which compensated the high interconnection costs and a late revision of local loop rental prices in Portugal, only effective in May 2005.

 

LOGO

 

  Operating costs decreased 0.7% year-on-year. 1H2005 includes a 41% increase in Client acquisition and retention costs (+€5.3m), €1.9m of severance payments and a €5.3m non-recurring income related to the sale of Oni Way. Excluding these impacts, operating costs would have decreased 3.3% year-on-year, mostly due to: (i) a 10.9% decrease in personnel costs, excluding severance payments; and (ii) a €3.5m increase in provisions for doubtful clients.

 

  The Oni Group’s gross profit improvement together with tight control of personnel costs and supplies & services, other than those related to client’s acquisition and retention, enabled the company to achieve an €11.2m EBITDA in the 1H2005, which represents an EBITDA margin of 6.9%.

 

  In March 2005, the Oni Group’s shareholders completed the second and last part of a €100m financing plan, through a €35m loan.

 

  We recall that in July 2005, the Oni Group signed a Sale and Purchase Agreement for the sale of its 99.93% stake in the share capital of Comunitel. The consideration to be received in cash on completion amounts to €215m and Oni expects to book an accounting gain of €51m.

In accordance with IFRS 1, the entities that report and disclose for their IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements for the first time beginning on January 1st, 2005, the respective transition date for IFRS purposes will be January 1st, 2004. The purpose of this presentation is to present a summary of the more significant impacts on the EDP Group accounts during the transition from Portuguese/PT GAAP to IFRS. The forward-looking statements included in this presentation do not reflect all the possible changes due to IFRS but those identified at this stage. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, understandings, analysis, forecasts and assumptions that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from those projected. These risks and uncertainties include: whether the IFRS Standards that will eventually be endorsed by the European Union correspond to those existing presently, and whether the IFRS Standards as adopted will be interpreted by IFRIC and by Regulatory Entities in a manner that impacts or affects EDP – Energias de Portugal. These Pro-forma IFRS/IAS Consolidated Financial Statements, with reference to June 30th, 2004, aim to present and disclose only for information purposes the impacts arising from the full adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). For the preparation of these referred Pro-forma IFRS financial statements, the necessary adjustments were duly accounted and considered in relation to the Official Consolidated Financial Statements of the EDP Group as of June 30th, 2004 prepared in accordance with the Official Portuguese Plan of Accounts (POC/PT GAAP). The effective and official IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements for the Group EDP shall be reported and disclosed in the fiscal year beginning on January 1st, 2005.

Notes on IAS/IFRS changes

 

1. Revenues

 

Under IFRS/IAS tariff adjustments do not meet the definition of an asset or liability. As such, tariff adjustments in EDP Distribuição ( €118m) are not capitalised in EDP’s accounts.

 

2. Direct Activity Costs (Energy Purchases, Fuel and Materials)

 

Under IFRS/IAS regulatory assets or liabilities do not meet the definition of an asset or liability. Therefore, the constitution of these assets and liabilities is not booked in the P&L (+€23m). Under IFRS/IAS own work capitalised is reclassified to the respective item (-€46m in materials at EDP Distribuição).

 

3. Supplies and Services

 

Under IFRS/IAS, setup costs and R&D expenses are recognised as a cost in the period as incurred instead of being capitalised.

 

4. Personnel Costs

 

Annual bonuses paid to employees under IFRS are recognised as a cost for the year (+€12m for 6 months, of which €8m in EDP Distribuição and €3m in EDP Produção) instead of being booked against reserves as a distribution. Under IFRS/IAS own work capitalised is reclassified to the respective item with an impact in personnel costs (-€36m, of which -€32m in EDP Distribuição).

 

5. Costs with social benefits

 

Under IFRS/IAS actuarial losses were fully recognised against reserves at the transition date and thus, their amortisation is no longer booked in the P&L (-€19m, of which -€3m in EDP Produção and -€14m in EDP Distribuição). Provisions for medical care were reclassified from provisions to personnel costs (+€27m, of which +€20m in EDP Distribuição and +€6m in EDP Produção). Additional provisioning for pension and medical care liabilities had a negative impact in this line (+€28m, of which €22m in EDP Distribuição and €5m in EDP Produção).

 

6. Other costs (or revenues)

 

Under IFRS/IAS own work capitalised is reclassified to the respective item (+€104m, of which +€90m in EDP Distribuição and +€7m in EDP Produção). Provisions for doubtful debtors were reclassified from provisions to other costs (+€13m, of which +€3m in EDP Distribuição and +€7m in Brazil).

 

7. Depreciation (net of compensation for subsidised assets’ depreciation)

 

Under IFRS/IAS, setup costs and R&D expenses are recognised as a cost in the period as incurred instead of being capitalised, therefore its depreciation is no longer booked in the P&L (-€17m, of which -€12m at Oni). Administrative and structure costs are not capitalised under IFRS/IAS and thus, depreciation was reverted in the P&L (EDP Produção €15m and EDP Distribuição -€11m).

 

8. Provisions

 

Provisions were reclassified against the respective item, namely €27m to personnel costs (medical care) and €13m to other costs (doubtful debtors).

 

9. Financial Income/(Expense)

 

Under IFRS/IAS own work capitalised is reclassified to the respective item (+€12m in interest paid, of which +€7m in EDP Produção and +€5m in EDP Distribuição). Since regulatory assets and liabilities in Brazil are not accounted according to IFRS/IAS, income from Selic on these assets and liabilities is not booked in the P&L (-€15m).

 

10. Goodwill & Concession rights amortisation

 

Discontinuation of goodwill amortisation (€25m).

 

11. Extraordinary Results

 

Extraordinary items are reclassified as operating revenues or costs in the respective item.

 

12. Income & Deferred Taxes

 

The change in this item reflects the deferred taxes on the above mentioned IFRS/IAS adjustments (+€22m).

 

13. Minority Interests

 

The change in this item reflects the minority interests on the above mentioned IFRS/IAS adjustments and the non-recognition of negative minority interests.
