E X E C U T I V E S U M M A R Y

ACCIONA has begun 2024 progressing well towards its objective of installing 1.7 GW of new renewable energy capacity for the second year in a row, and achieving strong performance in Infrastructure, in terms of activity, profitability and backlog. It is worth highlighting the very positive contribution from Nordex, which generated in Q1 2024 an EBITDA margin in line with expectations for the full year. Meanwhile, both Bestinver's Assets Under Management (AUM) and the Gross Asset Value (GAV) of the property portfolio increased compared to December 2023. Also, ACCIONA has continued to make headway with its asset rotation plan, which will allow the Group to grow profitably while maintaining a sound financial position.

ACCIONA Energía performance in the first quarter was defined by operational and regulatory stability, rising output thanks to the new capacity installed/consolidated and improved hydro resource in Spain, the atypical behaviour of pool prices in Spain, which was due to a combination of extreme weather conditions (high wind and very high hydro resource), and stable demand due to mild winter temperatures. However, the captured prices that ACCIONA Energía was able to achieve were significantly above market thanks to extensive short- and long-term hedges. However, the trend has changed in recent weeks, and futures prices have recovered significantly compared to the level in the first quarter.

Levels of activity and profitability in the Infrastructure business continued the positive trend of recent years, driven by the strong performance of the Construction business in Australia & Latin America. Some of the largest contracts currently under construction in these geographies are the Western Harbour Tunnel and the North East Link, both in Australia, or Line 6 of Sao Paulo metro in Brazil.

Infrastructure backlog stands at €24,910 million at 31 March 2024, an increase of 1.6% versus December 2023. Including orders for projects consolidated using the equity method, the aggregate Infrastructure backlog reached €34,351 million at the end of Q1 2024, 0.9% more than 31 December 2023. Key contracts awarded in the first quarter include the first lot of tunnels for the Suburban Rail Loop East project in Melbourne, and a new package under the Sydney Southern Program Alliance.

The Group continues increasing its presence in concession projects. The accumulated equity invested in transport and social infrastructure projects, transmission lines and water assets reached €462 million at 31 March 2024, with commitments for additional contributions of €1.1bn between 2024 and 2032. This portfolio is estimated to generate ~€14.7bn in dividends and capital distributions for ACCIONA.

Nordex enjoyed a strong start to the year: order intake increased by more than 100% compared to Q1 2023 to reach a total of 2,086 MW, while revenues rose 29.3% to €1,574 million over the first quarter and the Q1 EBITDA margin grew to 3.3% vs -9.4% in the opening three months of 2023. Nordex has maintained its guidance of 2-4% EBITDA margin for the year as a whole.

The Property Development division delivered 82 residential units in Q1 2024, significantly more than in the first quarter of 2023, and presold 87 units. As a result, the pre-sales backlog at 31 March 2024 stood at 1,398 units, largely unchanged versus 31 December 2023, worth €516 million (at an average sale price of €369,000). The Gross Asset Value (GAV) of ACCIONA's property portfolio was €1,871 million at 31 March 2024, 3.7% more than at 31 December 2023.

Bestinver's Assets Under Management totalled €6,445 million at 31 March 2024, having risen by €526 million over the course of the first quarter. This growth was mainly driven by performance. Meanwhile, Average Assets Under Management grew by 11% to €6,090 million in Q1 2024, compared to €5,468 in Q1 2023.

3

ACCIONA's overall net Investment cash flow in the first three months of the year amounted to ~€1,000 million. ACCIONA Energía invested ~€480 million vs €1,000 million in Q1 2023, while Infrastructure invested a further €500 million, Nordex €50 million and Other Activities €40 million. In Infrastructure, it is worth highlighting the investment in a Waste-to-Energy plant in Australia (Kwinana) following an agreement with Macquarie Capital and Dutch Infrastructure Fund. ACCIONA will finish construction of the plant, which is scheduled for completion in late 2024, and will then operate it indefinitely. Accordingly, ACCIONA has included this asset in its long-term projects' portfolio.

As part of its financing operations, in February 2024, ACCIONA became the first Spanish company to conclude a samurai loan in Japan (i.e. a yen-denominatedcross-border loan raised in the Japanese market by an international issuer). This ¥45,000 million (€280 million) green financing issue was structured in two tranches maturing at three and five years, respectively. The average cost of financing in the first quarter was 4.60% (average cost of 4.37% for corporate debt and 8.29% for project financing). ACCIONA has almost 50% of its debt at variable rates, which will allow the Company to benefit from the shifts in central banks' monetary policies expected in the second half of the current year. The majority of maturities in 2024 relate to commercial paper. ACCIONA maintains a high level of liquidity, including cash, cash equivalents and available facilities, amounting to some €6,000 million at 31 March 2024.

Outlook for 2024: - Given current energy price forecasts and lower than expected electricity output so far this year, the expectation for ACCIONA's EBITDA growth at the consolidated level versus 2023 is lower than the Outlook communicated to the market at the end of February. ACCIONA maintains its expectation of net investment of around €2.5 billion and a financial leverage in terms of Net Debt/EBITDA of around 3.5x.

  • Financial and operating performance Q1 2024- the year starts in a stable operational and regulatory environment, which should allow the Company to build around 1.7 GW of new capacity for the second year running, deliver on its asset-rotationgoals, and maintain a strong balance sheet in a period of intense investment activity.
    Production grew in the first quarter driven by new installed/consolidated capacity and better hydro levels in Spain. However, wind output came below historical averages and the levels achieved in the prior year as a result of instances of very low prices during the quarter, with the Company deciding not to generate under such market conditions.
    The process of Europe-wide normalisation of energy prices continued during the quarter. In Spain, the performance of Q1 pool prices was markedly atypical due to exceptional weather conditions (high wind and very high hydraulic resource) coupled with stable demand in what was a mild winter. However, a shift in trend is expected as forward prices have begun to recover significantly, with pool price expectations for 2024 as a whole in the vicinity of €60/MWh. Additionally, ACCIONA Energía maintains a high level of hedging in Spain for 2024, enabling the Company to capture higher prices relative to spot and mitigate the current volatility. Meanwhile, achieved prices in the International business as a whole remained at similar levels to the previous year.
    Considering the above, and lower than expected electricity output so far this year, the expectation for EBITDA 2024 is lower than the level communicated to the market at the end of February.
  • Investment by Ark Energy-KoreanZinc in MacIntyre- Ark Energy, ACCIONA Energía's partner with a 30% interest in the MacIntyre wind project in Australia, informed the company in mid-Aprilthat it had made a positive final investment decision.
    The final investment approval by Ark Energy is a significant milestone for ACCIONA Energía as it represents the monetisation of a relevant portion of its investment in the project and the strengthening of the relationship with its partner. As of current date, ACCIONA Energía has been refunded for a significant portion of the capex it incurred to date on behalf of its partner, and expects to recover the remainder in the near term.
  • Asset rotation- ACCIONA Energía is progressing according to plan with the sale of a first package of renewable energy assets and envisages announcing an agreement in the coming months. This initial package comprises Spanish wind assets.
    The Company is preparing further disposals for the period 2024-25 involving assets from its global portfolio, the proceeds of which will help finance growth, crystallise value and optimise ACCIONA Energía's geographical footprint.
  • Installed capacity- Total installed capacity at 31 March 2023 reached 13,717 MW (consolidated capacity of 12,325 MW), having added 195 MW in the first quarter. New additions comprise 108 MW of new installed capacity in MacIntyre and 87 MW from the completion of construction work at the 458 MW Red Tailed Hawk PV facility, closing a first US PV investment cycle that amounted to 1.3 GW of new capacity.

6

ACCIONA Energía aims to build 1.7 GW of new capacity over the course of 2024.

  • Renewable production- Consolidated production was 6,262 GWh, a year-on-year increase of 9.4% (+13.7% in Spain and +5.4% in International). This growth was driven primarily by the commissioning of new assets and consolidation of Renomar as of 30 April 2023.
    Meanwhile, the underlying production was relatively flat, with good hydroelectric generation in Spain offsetting the weaker performance of assets in North and South America.
  • Average achieved price- The average price achieved by ACCIONA Energía's generation business was €57.5/MWh, compared to an average €81.4/MWh in Q1 2023, driven primarily by the downward trend in wholesale prices in Spain.
    The non-recurring booking of regulatory liabilities in the first quarter of 2024 in respect to certain wind assets - which in the current scenario of lower prices are once again subject to regulatory accounting - together with the declining pool prices in the period
    (average €44.9/MWh) explain the average achieved price in Spain of €56.0/MWh.
    In Spain, financial hedging and PPAs accounted for more than 50% of total Q1 production, allowing the Company to realise prices of more than €80/MWh over the quarter on these contracted volumes.
    The average achieved price in the International business stayed relatively flat at €59.1/MWh, resulting from lower Q1 prices in the Americas and Rest of Europe, and higher prices in Australia and Rest of the World.
  • Hedging in Spain- The total generation volume contracted for FY 2024 as a whole stands at 6.3 TWh at an average price of €80/MWh. This average price reflects prices of around €95/MWh (~3.1 TWh) under short-term financial derivatives and ~€65/MWh (~3.2 TWh) under PPAs. Around 2.4 TWh of the Company's production is also covered by effective regulatory protection, raising overall contracted/protected volumes to approximately 75% of expected output for 2024.
    With regards to 2025, besides the regulatory protection, the company currently has approximately 3.6 TWh under medium and long-term contracts, as well as 0.8 TWh of financial hedges, with average prices close to €60/MWh.
    ACCIONA Energía will continue to hedge additional volumes in the coming quarters to increase its contracted production in 2025 and the following years, in line with its strategy of maintaining around 80% of production protected in Spain.
    The Company's objective is to gradually substitute a portion of its short-term financial hedges with medium and long-term hedges with either financial counterparties or end customers, to the extent that there is sufficient liquidity in the market. The company will adapt its hedging strategy to potential changes in the profile of the company's generation output that could result from asset disposals.
  • Investment over the period- Cumulative investment in the first quarter in terms of the net investment cash flow was ~€480 million.
  • Completion of the share buy-backprogramme- ACCIONA Energía completed the share buy-backprogramme launched on 27 August 2023 at the end of February 2024. The Company invested €57 million in Q1 2024 in this respect.
    Overall, the programme has entailed total investment of €121.1 million in own shares (4,938,759 shares representing 1.5% of share capital at an average price of €24.52 per share).

7

The Board of Directors has proposed the redemption of 4,448,759 shares (approximately 1.36% of share capital) to the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting scheduled for 6 June 2024, in line with the objectives set when the programme was announced.

  • Financing and liquidity- Debt maturities for the financial year are limited to the outstanding balance of commercial paper which currently amounts to c. €300 million.
    Liquidity available in bilateral and syndicated facilities remains at very comfortable levels totalling approximately €1,850 million.
    The average cost of financing in the first quarter was 4.86% (average cost of 4.28% for corporate debt and 8.60% for project financing). The share of floating-rate debt is close to 50%, which will allow the Company to benefit from the shift in central banks' monetary policies expected in the second half of the current year.
  • Development activity and new pipeline- ACCIONA Energía has acquired 80% of Freya Renewables Inc., a Philippine renewables developer with a pipeline of domestic projects totalling some 880 MW. Key projects include the 170 MWp Daantabantayan PV plant. In March, ACCIONA Energía signed an MoU with the Provincial Government of Cebu in relation to a grant of land for the development, construction and maintenance of this plant.
    ACCIONA Energía and The Blue Circle, its partner in Southeast Asia, have started construction of the 100 MW Kalayaan II wind farm in the Philippines, which is scheduled to be commissioned in July 2026.
    ACCIONA Energía has approved the investment for an additional 83 MWp PV plant in the Dominican Republic. The Pedro Corto project will be operated under a feed-in tariff scheme with a price over €80/MWh. Commissioning is scheduled for late 2025.
    In the area of battery energy storage systems, the Company has approved investment in an additional project (Coneflower project, 170 MW/340 MWh), which is part of its 1 GW pipeline in Texas. Commissioning is scheduled for late 2025. Meanwhile, the Aldoga BESS storage project (400 MW/800 MWh) is in an advanced stage of development and conversations are in progress with potential offtakers interested in entering into tolling agreements as grid-forming solutions.
    The Company has continued analysing opportunities to acquire operational wind assets in the United States with potential for repowering and/or efficiency and availability improvement.
    During the first quarter, ACCIONA Energía decided to reorganise its operations in Brazil by downsizing its existing structure and pipeline in the country in order to adapt to prevailing market conditions.
  • Supply chain- The Company continues to operate in a scenario of relative supply chain stability, and it has not suffered any particular problems as a result of the situation in the Red Sea given the location of its current projects under construction and the ability to accommodate the logistics for early stage projects.
    ACCIONA Energía is not experiencing any delays when procuring components.
    With regard to investment and materials costs, solar modules prices (ex USA) have fallen to a historic low, while the cost of wind turbines remains stable. ACCIONA Energía has been able to benefit from the new situation in the PV market.
    The Company has no short-term US PV pipeline. Hence, it does not expect to be affected by any disruptions in the solar module market that could arise from a potential further

8

investigation by the US Department of Commerce into alleged unfair trade practices by Chinese-owned solar component manufacturers in Southeast Asia.

  • 2024 Construction plan- Capacity under construction at 31 March totalled 1.8 GW following the commencement of work on the 413 MW Juna PV project in India, adding to other major projects in progress including MacIntyre (remaining 331 MW of wind capacity under construction in Australia), Aldoga (487 MW PV plant in Australia), Forty Mile (280 MW wind farm in Canada).
    Additionally, ACCIONA Energía has projects currently under construction in the Dominican Republic (163 MW), Spain (50 MW) and Croatia (72 MW).
    The Company has also started the repowering of the 84 MW Tahivilla wind farm in Spain, which will be the second such project to date.
    The Company maintains its target of adding 1.7 GW of new capacity (pre asset rotation) in 2024. Construction of an additional 200-250 MW is planned for the second quarter of 2024 (MacIntyre in particular) and ~1,250 MW for the second half of the year (primarily at Juna and Aldoga, where work recently commenced, as well as Forty Mile and Cotoperí). The installation profile is similar to that of 2023.
  • Outlook for 2024- Given current price forecasts and lower than expected electricity output so far this year, the expectation for EBITDA 2024 is lower than the level communicated to the market at the end of February.
    The Company envisages that the EBITDA contribution during second half of the year will be higher than the first half's given increasing pool price expectations for the coming quarters, the non-recurring recognition of regulatory liabilities in the first quarter, and the contribution from new assets.
    ACCIONA Energía continues to expect net investment before asset rotation of €1.8-1.9 billion (including the MacIntyre monetisation, the already completed share buy-back, and monetisation of tax incentives in the USA).
