Foreword

Report on operations

The Interim Financial Report at September 30, 2020 has been prepared in compliance with Article 154-ter, paragraph 5, of Legislative Decree 58 of February 24, 1998, with the clarification indicated in the following section, and in conformity with the recognition and measurement criteria set out in the international accounting standards (International Accounting Standards - IAS and International Financial Reporting Standards - IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as well as the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) and the Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC), recognized in the European Union pursuant to Regulation (EC) no. 1606/2002 and in effect as of the close of the period.

Article 154-ter, paragraph 5, of the Consolidated Financial Intermediation Act, as amended by Legislative Decree 25/2016, no longer requires issuers to publish an interim financial report at the close of the 1st and 3rd Quarters of the year. The new rules give CONSOB the power to issue a regulation requiring issuers, following an impact analysis, to publish periodic financial information in addition to the annual and semi-annual financial reports. In view of the foregoing, Enel intends to continue voluntarily publishing an interim financial report at the close of the 1st and 3rd Quarters of each year in order to satisfy investor expectations and conform to consolidated best practice in the main financial markets, while also taking due account of the quarterly reporting requirements of a number of major listed subsidiaries.

Foreword

Enel organizational model

The Enel Group structure is organized into a matrix that comprises:

Global Business Lines

Regions and Countries

The Global Business Lines are responsible for managing and developing assets, optimizing their performance and the return on capital employed in the various geographical areas in which the Group operates. The Business Lines are also tasked with improving the efficiency of the processes they manage and sharing best practices at the global level. The Group, which also draws on the work of an Investment Committee,1 benefits from a centralized industrial vision of projects in the various Business Lines. Each project is assessed not only on the basis of its financial return but also in relation to the best technologies available at the Group level, which reflect the new strategic line adopted, explicitly integrating the SDGs within our financial strategy and promoting a low-carbon business model. Furthermore, each Business Line contributes to guiding Enel's leadership in the energy transition and in the fight against climate change, managing the associated risks and opportunities in its area of competence. In 2019, Global Power Generation was created with the merger of Enel Green Power and Global Thermal Generation to confirm the Enel Group's leading role in the energy transition, pursuing an integrated process of decarbonization and the sustainable development of renewable capacity. In addition, the Grid Blue Sky project was launched. Its objective is to innovate and digitalize infrastructures and networks in order to make them an enabling factor for the achievement of the Climate Action objectives, thanks to the progressive transformation of Enel into a platform-based group.

Regions and Countries are responsible for managing relationships with institutional bodies and regulatory authorities, as well as selling electricity and gas, in each of the countries in which the Group is present, while also providing staff and other service support to the Business Lines. They are also charged with promoting decarbonization and guiding the energy transition towards a low-carbon business model within their areas of responsibility. In 2019, the Group's geographical organization in the Americas was revised with the creation of the North America Region, which includes Mexico, and the integration of Costa Rica, Guatemala and Panama into the Latin America Region.

The following functions provide support to Enel's business operations:

Global Service Functions

Holding Company Functions

The Global Service Functions are responsible for managing information and communication technology activities and procurement at the Group level. They are also responsible for adopting sustainability criteria in managing the supply chain and developing digital solutions to support the development of enabling technologies for the energy transition and the fight against climate change.

The Holding Company Functions are responsible for managing governance processes at the Group level. The Administration, Finance and Control function is also responsible for consolidating scenario analysis and managing the strategic and financial planning process aimed at promoting the decarbonization of the energy mix and the electrification of energy demand, key actions in the fight against climate change.

The Group Investment Committee is made up of the heads of Administration, Finance and Control, Innovability, Legal and Corporate Affairs, Global Procure- ment, the heads of the Regions and the Business Lines.

During the first nine months of 2020, Brent prices declined by more than $20 a barrel compared with the same period of 2019. During the 3rd Quarter of 2020, the market continued the gradual recovery begun in May, driven both by the slow recovery in demand and by the repeated production cuts by the main OPEC+ countries.

Brent prices averaged over $41 a barrel, reaching $45 a barrel in August.

Natural gas prices, which declined steadily during the 1st Half of 2020 due to both milder temperatures in the early months of 2020 and the demand shock induced by COVID-19, turned timidly upward in the 3rd Quarter of 2020, with the rise coming almost exclusively in September.

However, the downward forecasts for global gas demand in 2020 and the permanent supply-side surplus conditions, with storage at the limit of capacity in almost all major countries,

will provide little room for further price growth in the coming months.

Comparing the performance of the main commodities since the beginning of the year, we see that CO2 is among the few energy variables to show any resistance to declining, registering a decrease of 4.1% compared with 2019. Oil and natural gas (PSV) on the other hand have experienced decidedly steeper falls, with prices declining by 34.2% and 45.6% re- spectively.

In the 3rd Quarter, the outlook for the Emissions Trading System (ETS) for 2020 strengthened thanks to the greater commitment by the European Union regarding new emissions targets, which spurred a gradual but steady increase in pri- ces, with an average rise of 29% compared with the previous quarter.

Economic and energy conditions in the first nine months of 2020

Economic developments

Despite current global conditions characterized by the CO- VID-19 pandemic, which will persist into 2021, the 3rd Quarter of 2020 experienced a decisive rebound in the economy, although the speed of recovery differs between countries. The global environment continues to be influenced by uncertainty and obstacles to recovery associated with the evolution of the pandemic, the recent resurgence of which has prompted new and additional restrictions on movement and trade, which may cause the economic outlook to deteriorate in the short to medium term.

The 3rd Quarter of 2020 saw a period of recovery after months of unprecedented recession. Globally, this produced a prolonged period of low inflation and real interest rates. The first nine months of 2020 saw strong measures by central banks playing a primary role in the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Most central banks steered their monetary policy towards an ultra-accommodative stance in order to encourage investment and consumption. Accompanying the conventional measures, many central banks expanded the scale and time horizon of their securities purchase programs, injecting large volumes of low-cost liquidity into markets. Recent announcements from policymakers indicate that such strategies will continue until the pandemic is over.

In the euro area, the return of mobility and the reopening of shops enabled a double-digit recovery in GDP in the 3rd Quar- ter. However, the rebound is expected to be only momentary, owing to the new restrictions introduced by governments to contain the second wave of the pandemic that is overwhelming the entire continent.

Similarly in the United States, quarterly GDP growth in the 3rd Quarter of 2020 (more than 7%) partially brought GDP to pre-pandemic levels. The United States experienced a strong recovery in economic activity in the 3rd Quarter, with GDP growth of around 33% on an annualized quarterly basis. The recovery was sustained by massive fiscal and monetary inter- vention. However, a slowdown is expected in the final months of the year with a possible new wave of the pandemic and the uncertainties surrounding the US elections.

In August, the Federal Reserve changed its guidance, and is now linking its monetary policy decisions to an average inflation target (AIT). This lowered money market expectations of a rate hike in the coming years and caused the dollar to we- aken. The market is now projecting unchanged interest rates until 2024. The outcome of the presidential elections remains important, the run up to which is continuing to fuel uncertainty in the markets, increasing exchange rate volatility.

After a 13% quarterly drop in GDP, the Italian economy recovered more rapidly than expected in the 3rd Quarter, posting growth of 16.1%. This result is largely attributable to the strong performance of industry, which was buoyed by the reopening of the economy. Nevertheless, the resurgence of the pandemic, the reintroduction of restrictive measures by the Government and the deterioration in the climate of confidence among firms already presage a renewed slowdown in the current quarter. To counter the crisis, the Government is planning new fiscal stimulus measures: the annual budget deficit and public debt are forecast to be around 12% and 160% of GDP respectively in 2020. The ECB's monetary policy will continue to dispel fears about the country's financial stability thanks to low interest rates and the expansion of the securities purchase program at its next meeting in December, which will remain tilted towards the peripheral countries most severely impacted by the pandemic.

Spain has been the most sharply affected economy in the euro area, mainly due to its highly service-oriented economic structure and the weight of the tourism sector. The economy rebounded by more than 16% in the 3rd Quarter after the collapse of the economy in the 2nd Quarter (-17.8% on the previous quarter). However, the abrupt slowdown in the service sector in September and the reinstatement of restrictive measures already point to an attenuation of the recovery in the final months of the year. The labor market remains weak, with over 800,000 workers affected by national furlough sche- mes. The tourism sector (12% of GDP) remains the great my- stery, having contracted by 72% on an annual basis in the first seven months of 2020.

Russia has experienced a slow recovery, with GDP falling by 4.4% year-on year in the 3rd Quarter of 2020, compared with

14	Interim Financial Report at September 30, 2020

a contraction of 8% in the 2nd Quarter. Geopolitical tensions and a deterioration in macroeconomic conditions caused the ruble to depreciate by 13% compared with June. This forced the country's central bank to interrupt the expansionary measures it had undertaken, leaving the refinancing rate at 4.25%.

In Latin America, Brazil is heading towards a consistent recovery and there are encouraging signs of containment of the virus. The recovery will be mainly driven by private consumption thanks to the massive consumption stimuli approved by the government (i.e., corona vouchers). However, the high unemployment rate and the end of the income support program for families "corona voucher", expiring on December 31, now create some doubts about the duration of this re- covery. Inflation in September increased (3.1% on an annual basis) due to the increase in the prices of imported goods (connected with the depreciation of the real) and services. However, inflation will remain very low and below the central bank's target level over its forecast horizon.

The economic recovery in Argentina has lost momentum due to the reintroduction of new localized restrictive measures. Despite the strong rebound in economic activity expected in the 3rd Quarter, GDP is only expected to return to pre-pandemic levels by the end of 2023.

After one of the worst performances in the history of the Chi- lean economy (with GDP contracting by 13% on a quarterly basis in the 2nd Quarter), the reopening of businesses and the resumption of personal mobility enabled a partial recovery in output in the 3rd Quarter (+6% on a quarterly basis). Nevertheless, signs of a slowdown have emerged in the last month. In August, the leading indicator of GDP rose 2.8% on a monthly basis, well below expectations (4-6%), despite the strong increase in retail sales. In September inflation rever-

sed its downward trend following an increase in food prices and those of imported goods despite the strengthening of the peso, reaching 3.1% on an annual basis. The persistent output gap and the deterioration in labor market conditions should once again ease the pressure on prices, which are expected to decline by the end of the year. The recession and low price levels will keep the central bank's monetary stance expansionary in the medium term. The recent vote in favor of a new constitution is an additional factor of uncertainty for political stability and market volatility.

Peru was one of the countries whose economy was most affected by the pandemic (GDP contracted by 30% on an annual basis in the 2nd Quarter), with output expected to fall by 12.5% on an annual basis in 2020. The strong fiscal and monetary stimulus measures deployed by the government and the central bank should enable for a recovery to pre-COVID levels only in the medium term. The political situation remains unstable, and presidential elections scheduled for 2021 are a further source of uncertainty.

In the last month, the economic outlook for Colombia has improved significantly in terms of indicators of activity in the real economy. The "selective quarantine" has enabled mobility to resume significantly, with a consequent rise in consumption (mainly services), which should now sustain the recovery in the final part of the year. Following the slump in the economy in the 2nd Quarter, the July monthly activity index (ISE) posted a robust 2.6% month-on-month rise, following the 5.4% rise in June. The data for the 3rd Quarter of 2020 show a 9.5% increase in GDP.

However, the weakness of the labor market remains a major risk factor, with employment down by about 20% from the pre-pandemic level. This could jeopardize the recovery expected in the medium term.

The first nine months of 2020 experienced an overall decline in electricity demand in all the main countries in which the Group operates, although for Italy and Spain the 3rd Quarter showed timid signs of a recovery, with values in line with those registered in the same months of 2019. This mitigated the drop in demand compared with 2019 for the period as a whole, which came to 7.0% for Italy and 5.9% for Spain. The reasons for the recovery are to be found in the gradual easing of lockdowns in these countries and the consequent recovery in economic activity. Conversely, the recovery in the

Eastern European countries was less marked, with a decrease of 3.6% in Russia and 6.5% in Romania compared with the previous year.

As far as Latin America is concerned, electricity demand in the first nine months of 2020 was in line with that in the previous year for Argentina and Chile, whereas Brazil recorded a decrease of 2.5%, Colombia one of 3.7% and Peru, the country most severely impacted in terms of electricity demand, registered a drop of 7.7%.

On July 7, 2020, Enel SpA announced that it had increased its stake in its Chilean subsidiary Enel Chile SA ("Enel Chile") to 64.9% of the company's share capital, settling two share swap transactions entered into in December 2019 with a financial institution to acquire up to 3% of the share capital of

Enel Chile, as announced to the financial markets at the time. The transactions, which were funded with cash flow from operations, are in line with the Enel Group's announced objective to increase its stake in the Group's companies operating in South America, buying out minorities.

Enel accelerates energy transition towards decarbonization

Enel, in its role as a leader of the energy transition, has placed decarbonization and growth of renewables around the world at the center of its strategy. The 2020-2022 Strategic Plan provides for a significant increase in installed renewables capacity, from the current 46 GW to 60 GW at the end of 2022, and the progressive reduction of coal-fired capacity and generation. More specifically, it is expected that such capacity will decrease by more than 40% in 2022 compared with 2019. In order to manage renewable and thermal generation assets around the world in an integrated manner and guide and accelerate its transformation, Enel created a new Business Line in 2019.

In this context, on July 2, 2020, Enel began restructuring the activities associated with the energy transition process, which will involve thermal generation plants in all the geographi-

cal areas in which the Group operates. The consequent revision of processes and operating models will require changes in the roles and skills of employees, which the Group intends to implement with highly sustainable plans based on rede- ployment programs, with major upskilling and reskilling plans and voluntary individual early retirement agreements that will involve around 1,300 people worldwide.

The Group will define and launch these initiatives over the next two years, incurring a one-time charge of about €0.4 billion.

The restructuring plan will be implemented with procedures and timing that will differ in the various countries in which we are present, initiating the appropriate dialogue with local communities and the competent institutions and social par- tners.

Enel launches sustainability-linked share buyback program serving its Long-Term Incentive Plan

Report on operations

On July 29, 2020, the Board of Directors of Enel SpA, implementing the authorization granted by the Shareholders' Meeting on May 14, 2020 and in compliance with the associated terms already disclosed to the market, approved the launch of a share buyback program involving 1.72 million shares (the "Program"), equal to about 0.017% of Enel's share capital.

The purpose of the Program, which will run from September 3 to December 7, 2020, is to serve the Long-Term Incentive Plan 2020 for the management of Enel and/or its subsidiaries pursuant to Article 2359 of the Civil Code ("LTI Plan 2020"), which was also approved by the Shareholders' Meeting on May 14, 2020.

To implement the Program, Enel appointed an authorized in- termediary, who will make decisions on purchases in full in- dependence. In line with Enel's commitment to a sustainable development model, the price at which the shares will be purchased from the intermediary will be linked to the achie-

vement of the performance targets of the LTI Plan 2020, represented by the ratio between the net consolidated installed capacity of renewable sources and total net consolidated installed capacity at the end of 2022.

In execution of the Program, between September 3 and 4, 2020 Enel SpA acquired 107,114 treasury shares at a volume -weighted average price of €7.5869 per share, for a total of €812,672.723. Between September 21 and 25, 2020, the Company purchased an additional 412,089 treasury shares at

volume-weightedaverage price of €7.3589 per share, for a total of €3,032,537.478.
Since the beginning of the Program, Enel has acquired 1,010,100 shares (equal to 0.009935% of share capital) for a total of €7,529,625,474. Considering the treasury shares already owned, as of September 25, 2020, Enel held a total of 2,559,252 treasury shares, equal to 0.025173% of share capital.

Enel Group begins reorganization of renewables operations in Central and South America

On September 22, 2020, Enel SpA announced that the Board of Directors of its listed Chilean subsidiary Enel Américas SA had voted to commence the process for the approval of a merger as part of the corporate reorganization of the Enel Group's shareholdings aimed at integrating the unconventional renewable energy businesses of the Enel Group in Central and South America (except Chile) into Enel Américas. The transaction, consistent with Enel's strategic objectives, will enable further simplification of the Group corporate structure and align the structure of Enel Américas' business with the rest of the Group.

The corporate reorganization envisages the integration into Enel Américas of the current unconventional renewable assets of the Enel Group in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Panama and Peru, through a series of transactions culminating in the merger of those assets into Enel Américas. The merger, which will increase Enel's stake in

Enel Américas, will require amendment by the Shareholders' Meeting of the provisions of the latter's bylaws to remove the existing limitations whereby a single shareholder may not hold more than 65% of the voting rights. The Sharehol- ders' Meeting will also be called on to approve the merger as transaction with related parties in compliance with applicable Chilean law.

Enel gave Enel Américas a favorable preliminary opinion on the above reorganization provided that it:

is carried out on market terms and conditions;
ensures that the financial position of Enel Américas will support the future development of the renewable energy business and the growth prospects of the company.

That favorable preliminary opinion is subject to an assessment by Enel of the final terms and conditions to be submitted for approval to the Shareholders' Meeting of Enel Américas.

Funac and the ICMS tax relief

on operations

On February 5, 2019, Law 20416 was promulgated. With the legislation, the state of Goiás shortened from January 27, 2015 to April 24, 2012 the period of operation of the Funac fund (established with Law 17555 of January 20, 2012) and the tax benefit system (created with Law 19473 of November 3, 2016) that allowed Celg Distribuição SA - Celg-D (now Enel Distribuição Goiás) to offset payment obligations in respect of the ICMS - Imposto sobre Circulação de Mercadorias and Serviços (tax on the circulation of goods and services). On February 25, 2019, Celg-D appealed the provisions of Law 20416 before the Court of the state of Goiás, filing a writ of mandamus and an accompanying petition for a precautionary suspension, which was denied on a preliminary basis on Fe- bruary 26, 2019. Celg-D appealed this ruling and the Court of the state of Goiás allowed the appeal on June 11, 2019. On October 1, 2019, the Court of the state of Goiás issued an order revoking the precautionary measure previously granted in favor of Celg-D and, accordingly, the effects of the law were restored as from that date. Celg-D filed an appeal against this decision, claiming that the right to guarantee tax credits has both a legal and contractual basis and that, therefore, the actions that the state of Goiás has taken in order to fully suspend the application of these laws are patently unfounded. On October 2, 2019, the appeal filed by Celg-D was denied. On November 21, 2019, Celg-D challenged this decision before the Superior Tribunal de Justiça (STJ). On February 27, 2020, the Tribunal de Justiça (TJ) declared inadmissible the appeal by Celg-D, which on May 5, 2020 appealed this decision before the STJ. These proceedings are under way. It is important to note that the coverage of the Funac fund is provided for in the agreement for the acquisition of Celg-D by Enel Brasil SA.

On April 26, 2019, Law 20468 was promulgated. With the law, the state of Goiás fully revoked the tax relief referred to above. On May 5, 2019, Celg-D filed an ordinary petition and a request for a precautionary suspension against the state of Goiás to contest this law. On September 16, 2019, the Court of the state of Goiás denied the petition for precautionary re- lief, citing the absence of any danger in delay, a requirement for the granting of precautionary relief. On September 26, 2019, Celg-D filed an appeal (agravo de instrumento) before the Court of the state of Goiás against the decision denying the precautionary suspension, claiming that the repeal of the tax credit law is unconstitutional to the extent that these credits were established in accordance with applicable law and constitute acquired rights. As part of the same appeal proce- eding, the state of Goiás initiated an action to challenge the admissibility of the Celg-D petition, which was provisionally allowed and subsequently challenged by Celg-D. On Sep- tember 7, 2020, the state of Goiás submitted its brief on the request for precautionary relief under appeal.

In addition, the Brazilian association of electricity distribution companies (ABRADEE) had filed an action for a ruling on constitutionality before the Constitutional Court of Brazil (Supre- mo Tribunal Federal) with regard to Laws 20416 and 20468, which was denied on June 3, 2020 in an individual decision of the judge-rapporteur for lack of compliance with formal requirements. On June 24, 2020, ABRADEE filed an appeal (agravo regimental) against the decision. On September 21, 2020, the Supreme Court of Brazil, without entering into the merits of the case, rejected the appeal of ABRADEE for formal reasons and the proceeding was concluded.

Criminal proceedings connected with Pietrafitta plant

With regard to the Pietrafitta thermal generation plant, the Perugia Public Prosecutor had started an investigation involving a number of officers of Enel Produzione SpA, as well as certain third parties who are today owners of the land adjacent to the plant - formerly Enel's - on which ash was found. This discovery was following by a series of inspections by control entities and the competent authorities, leading Sep- tember 21, 2018 to the closure of the investigations and the filing of charges against six officers of the company and a number of the third-party owners of the sites under investi- gation.

The alleged offenses are as follows: failure to restore the site (Article 452-terdecies of the Italian Criminal Code) for the failure to restore and recover the areas located in the town of Piegaro (Perugia) affected by the spillage of ash produced up to the 1980s by the Pietrafitta power plant (as well as ash from other company plants), and other areas where contamination with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) was found associated with mining equipment owned by Enel Produzione SpA and used in the past for lignite excavation, which had remained deposited on the third-party sites under investiga- tion; environmental pollution pursuant to Article 452-bis of the Criminal Code, for having caused a "significant and measurable deterioration" in managing the mining equipment, consisting in the PCB contamination of the area, with respect to which Enel Produzione SpA was also charged with admi-

nistrative liability pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2001. In the summer of 2019, Enel Produzione SpA filed a petition for dismissal, which was accepted by the prosecutor for the crime of environmental pollution pursuant to Article 452-bis of the Criminal Code, with consequent dismissal of the charge pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2001.

A number of environmental associations filed an objection to the dismissal, and on February 21, 2020 a hearing was held before the investigating magistrate that ended with dismissal of the charges (May 28, 2020), which, in brief, accepted all of Enel's defenses and confirmed the dismissal of any other possible charges - even if not brought by the Prosecutor's Office - relating to the possible health effects of the presence of the ashes.

Accordingly, the criminal proceedings are continuing with sole regard to the crime of failure to restore the site, with respect to which in December 2019 Enel Produzione SpA presented an application for a stay of proceedings with pro- bation, consisting in the implementation of a program agreed with the Prosecutor's Office for proportionate and fair restoration with respect to the complaints filed against the defendants. The probation hearing was held on October 29, 2020, on which date the investigating magistrate at the Court of Perugia granted the request for probation submitted by Enel Produzione. The hearing was adjourned until February 18, 2021.

COVID-19

The coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic began in Wuhan, Chi- na, and was first reported by national authorities to the World Health Organization on December 30, 2019.

In the early weeks of 2020, despite the considerable concern expressed by international organizations, the epidemic appeared to be limited to certain areas of Southeast Asia and the Middle East, affecting only a number of regions in China, South Korea and Iran.

From the second part of February 2020, the outbreak began to spread rapidly in Europe, especially in Italy and Spain, as well as the United States, with initial hotspots emerging in Latin America and Africa, where governments adopted a variety of approaches to impose restrictions on the movement of people, with some ordering total or partial lockdowns. Du-

ring the warmer months in Europe, the pandemic subsided, thanks in part to the adoption of the measures noted above. Conversely, during the same period cases increased substantially in Latin America. Towards the close of the 3rd Quarter, a second wave of contagion got under way, with rapid growth above all in Europe, the United States and Latin America.

To contain the effects of the second wave of the disease, pending medical trials to develop a vaccine that can be administered to humans, governments have adopted numerous containment measures, essentially intended to restrict the free movement of people, such as selective lockdowns or the early closure of public places to limit crowds.

Already during the 1st Quarter, the Group had issued guide-

22	Interim Financial Report at September 30, 2020

lines aimed at ensuring compliance with the measures introduced at the local level and taken numerous steps to adopt the most suitable procedures to prevent and/or mitigate the effects of contagion in the workplace.

In particular, business continuity is managed thanks above all to:

the use of smart working for all employees whose jobs can be done remotely in the countries where the Group has its largest presences, an approach introduced some years ago that, thanks to investments in digitalization, allows our people to work remotely at the same level of efficiency and effectiveness;

the use of digitalized infrastructures, which ensure the normal operation of our generation assets, the continuity of electricity service and the remote management of all

activities relating to the market and our relationship with customers.

An Enel Global Task Force is also operational at the country level, which is charged with coordinating and directing the actions to be undertaken in the countries where the Group operates, in synergy with the global technological business lines.

Condensed consolidated financial statements

Net electricity generation in the first nine months of 2020 decreased by 21.9 TWh (-12.6%) compared with the same period of 2019. The decline reflected a contraction in thermal generation (-26.7 TWh), mainly due to a reduction on coal-fired output (-23 TWh), partly offset by an increase in renewables generation (+5.5 TWh). In particular, the latter increase prima-

rily reflected the entry into service of new plants (+4.7 TWh), inlcuding wind farms (+3.0 TWh) and solar plants (+1.5 TWh), as well as an increase in hydroelectric generation.

Nuclear generation declined by -0.7 TWh compared with the same period of 2019, totaling 19.5 TWh.

Interim Financial Report at September 30, 2020

Electricity transported on the Enel distribution network in the first nine months of 2020 amounted to 357.2 TWh, down

22.4 TWh (-5.9%) compared with the same period of 2019, essentially in Italy (-13.7 TWh), Brazil (-3.5 TWh) and Spain (-2.3 TWh).

The number of Enel end users with active smart meters showed an increase of 597,658 in the first nine months of 2020, mainly in Spain (+271,748) and Romania (+306,255).

Electricity sold by Enel in the first nine months of 2020 amounted to 222 TWh, a decrease of 20.2 TWh (-8.3%) compared with the year-earlier period. Quantities sold decreased in Italy (-6.8 TWh), Spain (-6.4 TWh), Latin America (-6.2 TWh), mainly in Brazil (-2.9 TWh), and Romania (-0.8 TWh).

Gas sold by Enel in the first nine months of 2020 amounted

to 6.7 billion cubic meters, down 0.9 billion cubic meters compared with the same period of 2019.

Enel charging points increased by 25,744 the first nine months of 2020 compared with 2019.

Charging points installed for private citizens posted an increase of 22,142, mainly in North America and Italy, while public charging points increased by 3,602, mainly in Italy and Spain.

Financial impact of COVID-19

In compliance with recent recommendations of ESMA and CONSOB, the Group has initiated internal analyses to assess the real and potential impacts of COVID-19 on business activi- ties, on the financial situation and on performance.

In light of the macroeconomic scenario discussed earlier, the impact of COVID-19 is most significant for the Business Lines most closely involved with the market such as End-user Markets and Enel X, taking account of the fact that they have been affected by a significant reduction in demand and a general slowdown in the acquisition of new customers. More speci- fically, End-user Markets are affected by the overcontracting of electricity as demand and the related volumes decline, as well as the slowdown in collections on accounts receivable, due both to the effects of the crisis and the lockdowns that

affected the timeliness of payments and the practices adopted in certain countries that suspended the possibility of cutting off electricity supply to defaulting customers. Enel X, on the other hand, has experienced a general slowdown in the development of its portfolio of new businesses, even if a positive rebound is expected, especially in Italy, in light of the measures adopted by the Government to encourage the revival of economic activity. The other Business Lines have been affected by a reduction in demand and a slight slowdown in investment activities due to lockdowns.

Bearing in mind the current climate of uncertainty and based on the best information available to date, the estimated financial impact of COVID-19 on the gross operating margin, the ordinary gross operating margin, operating income, ordinary operating income, Group net income and Group ordinary net income are reported below.

The gross operating margin was affected by the COVID-19 emergency mainly in terms of a decrease of €529 million in demand for electricity, with a decrease in sales volumes and the related margins, mainly in End-user Markets of Italy and Spain and in distribution in Latin America. This figure was determined by using benchmark prices to measure the reduction in quantities distributed and sold, as observed during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in the various countries in which the Group operates.

Another factor impacting the gross operating margin was the direct cost of the health emergency (€101 million) for workpla- ce sanitization activities, personal protective equipment and

donations. These costs do not impact the determination of the ordinary gross operating margin.

At the same time, taking into account the most recent collection status and the results of the valuation model used to measure the recoverability of receivables, the Group recognized an increase in impairment losses on receivables of about €181 million at the marketing companies, in particular in Italy, Spain and Brazil.

Taking account of tax effects and minority interests, the overall impact of COVID-19 on the Group's net income at Sep- tember 30, 2020 was a negative €384 million (€318 million on Group ordinary net income).

Group performance and operations

In the first nine months of 2020, revenue decreased significantly due to:

a reduction in sales of gas and electricity in Spain (€1,064 million) and Italy (€1,057 million) on both the regulated and free markets, mainly reflecting the COVID-19 pandemic, which for the free market produced a decrease in volumes transacted with business-to-business customers;
a reduction in commodity trading activities on contracts with physical settlement, due to the reduction in volumes traded and prices, and to the effects of the application of the interpretation in the IFRIC Agenda Decision of 2019 to the sale of energy commodities with physical settlement measured at fair value2 through profit or loss (€5,041 mil- lion);
a contraction in sales in Latin America (€2,121 million), mainly owing to a reduction in electricity transported on the grid as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the impact of the depreciation of currencies against the euro, particularly in Brazil;
a reduction in gas sales in the End-user Markets Business Line (€548 million) in Spain and Italy, due in part to the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on demand;
a decrease in revenue from unconventional renewables generation in Latin America, especially in Chile and Brazil, mainly due to the adverse impact of exchange rate deve- lopments. This factor was only partially offset by an increa- se in revenue in Italy, Spain and United States.

Revenue in the first nine months of 2019 included other revenue in respect of:

the agreement between Edesur (€228 million, of which €202 million in respect of the distribution Business Line and €26 million for End-user Markets) and the Argentine government settling reciprocal disputes originating betwe- en 2006 and 2016;
the gain on the disposal of Mercure Srl (€108 million);
negative goodwill (€106 million) from the definitive allo- cation of the purchase price, performed by independent experts, in the acquisition by Enel North America (formerly Enel Green Power North America - EGPNA) of a number of companies sold by Enel Green Power North America Renewable Energy Partners LLC (EGPNA REP) in the 1st Quarter of 2019;
the contractual indemnity received following the exercise of the option to withdraw from an electricity supply con- tract by a major industrial customer of Enel Generación Chile (€160 million, of which €80 million pertaining to the Thermal Generation and Trading Business Line and €80 million pertaining to the Enel Green Power Business Line);
the adjustment of the price for the acquisition of eMo- torWerks in 2017 following application of a number of con- tractual clauses (€58 million);
the fee of €50 million provided for in the agreement rea- ched by e-distribuzione with F2i and 2i Rete Gas for the early all-inclusive settlement of the second indemnity connected with the sale in 2009 of the interest held in Enel Rete Gas.

The figures for the first nine months of 2019 have been adjusted to take account of the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) contained in the Agenda Decision of 2019, which involved changes in the classification, with no impact on margins, of the effects of purchase and sales contracts for commodities with physical settlement measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Report on operations

Condensed consolidated financial statements

The decrease in gross operating margin is essentially attributable to:

Infrastructure and Networks in the amount of €434 million, reflecting:
- a decrease in volumes distributed, especially in Latin America (essentially Brazil, Chile and Peru), as a result of the impact on demand of the COVID-19 health emer- gency. Another factor was the adverse exchange rate developments registered in the first nine months of 2020 (-€200 million), especially in Brazil;

- the recognition of greater provisions for early retirement incentive plans in Spain following the changes made with the "agreement on the voluntary suspension or termination of employment contracts" (€91 million);

a decrease in quantities transported and the effect of the application of the new rate mechanism in Spain for the 2020-2025 period;
the positive effects recognized in 2019 associated with the Edesur settlement agreement (€202 million) and

Group performance and operations

the indemnity for the sale of Enel Rete Gas (€50 mil- lion) noted earlier.

These factors were only partly offset by:

- the modification of the electricity discount benefit in Spain (€269 million) following the signing of the 5th En- desa Collective Bargaining Agreement, which led to the partial reversal of the provision;
- an increase of €51 million in income in Italy from the application of the Regulatory Authority for Energy, Networks and the Environment (ARERA) Resolutions nos. 50/2018 and 568/2019 for the reimbursement of system charges and grid fees;
End-userMarkets in the amount of €118 million as a result of the adverse impact on electricity demand of the CO- VID-19 health emergency, especially on the free markets in Italy and Spain, above all in business-to-business tran- sactions, and the effect of the indemnity received in the first nine months of 2019 by Edesur (€26 million). These negative effects were partly offset by a reduction in the provisioning costs of commodities;
Enel X (€39 million), where operating improvements de- spite the effects of the pandemic were more than offset by the effect of the recognition in 2019 of an indemnity of €58 million received in application of contractual clauses connected with the disposal of eMotorWerks;
Services, primarily reflecting non-recurring costs associa- ted with the COVID-19 emergency (€35 million) and costs connected with early retirement incentives and personnel retraining plans connected with the energy transition pro- cess begun by the Group.

These decreases were partly offset by increases for:

Thermal Generation and Trading, which benefitted from the positive effects of:
- the modification of the electricity discount benefit net of the provision for early retirement incentives in Spain (€165 million);
- a decrease in provisioning costs and an improvement in operating efficiency in Italy and Spain in the total amount of €364 million.

These positive factors were partially offset by:

- an increase of €204 million in charges for corporate restructuring plans undertaken by the Group as part of the energy transition process, with particular regard to coal-fired plants in Spain;

- the reduction in the gross operating margin in Russia due to the sale of the Reftinskaya plant in October 2019;
- a €62 million increase in tax charges in reflection of the temporary suspension for 2019 only of the tax on electricity generation and on fuels in conventional thermal and nuclear generation (Royal Decree Law 15/2018), as well as the introduction from July 2020 of a new "eco-tax" in Catalonia;
- the recognition in the 1st Quarter of 2019 of income from the indemnity of €80 million received in Chile and from the sale of Mercure Srl in Italy (€94 million, equal to the capital gain noted above less the associated site restoration costs);
- adverse exchange rate developments in Latin America (€35 million);
Enel Green Power (€84 million), mainly due to:
- an improvement in the gross operating margin in Italy (€139 million), mainly reflecting the improvement in the performance of hydroelectric plants;
- an improvement in the gross operating margin in Spain (€74 million) as a result of the increase in quantities ge- nerated and sold, thanks in part to the greater installed capacity of wind plants;
- an increase in the margin in the United States (€31 million) owing to the entry into service of new wind farms, which produced an increase in income from tax partnerships (€108 million) and an increase in income from indemnities and disputes (€46 million);
- an improvement in the margin in Europe, primarily due to the entry into service of new wind plants in Greece.

These positive effects were partially offset by the recognition in the first nine months of 2019 of income deriving from an indemnity for early withdrawal from an electricity supply contract in Chile (€80 million), a reduction in margins in Brazil owing to the sale in 2019 of a number of wind farms and unfavorable exchange rate developments during the first nine months of 2020, as well as the effect of the recognition in the first nine months of 2019 of negative goodwill (€106 million) following the acquisition by Enel North America (formerly Enel Green Power North America - EGPNA) of a number of companies sold by Enel Green Power North America Renewable Energy Partners LLC (EGPNA REP).

Operating income in the first nine months of 2020 increased by of 2,776 million, including a reduction of €3,280 million in depreciation and impairment losses. The latter change was mainly due to the impact of writedowns recognized during the first nine months of 2019 on a number of coal plants in Italy, Spain, Chile and Russia for a total of €4,002 million. More specifically:

in Chile, €364 million in writedowns were recognized on two plants also following the agreement reached with the Chilean government on their early disposal;
in Russia, as a result of an agreement for the sale of the Reftinskaya coal plant, the value of the plant was written down to take account of the sale price (€125 million);
in Spain, during the 3rd Quarter of 2019 the deterioration
in commodity prices and the operation of the CO2 emis- sions market compromised the competitiveness of co-

al-fired plants. In Italy, in addition to the deterioration in conditions, the implementation of the new rules governing the remuneration of the availability of production capacity (the capacity market) restricted the scope of its future application for plants with higher CO2 emissions, providing for the exclusion of coal-fired plants from the electricity market. For these reasons, the book value of a number of coal plants in Italy and Spain, including the related dismantling costs, was written down in the total amount of €3,513 million.

These effects were partly offset by the impairment losses recognized during the first nine months of 2020 on the Boca- mina II coal-fired plant in Chile, reflecting the Enel Group's decision to close it early to achieve the Group's strategic decarbonization objective for generation processes (€737 million).

Group performance and operations

Group net income

Group net income in the first nine months of 2020 amounted to €2,921 million, compared with €813 million posted in the same period of the previous year.

The increase is mainly attributable to the increase in operating income noted above, partly offset by an increase in taxes due to the tax effects recognized in 2019, namely:

the "revalúo" at a number of generation companies in Ar- gentina;
the preferential tax treatment (PEX) applied to the gain on the disposal of Mercure Srl;
the reversal of deferred tax liabilities of EGPNA in con- nection with the acquisition of a number of companies from EGPNA REP.

These factors were partly offset by:

a reduction in net financial expense, mainly due to a decre- ase in interest expense on financial debt in Latin America and the effect of debt refinancings at more attractive inte- rest rates in the last 12 months;
a decrease in charges connected with equity investmen- ts accounted for using the equity method (€109 million) largely as a result of the effect recognized in the first nine months of 2019 in connection with the repurchase of a number of companies from the EGPNA REP joint venture, which led to the recognition of a capital loss on EGPNA REP;
a decrease in non-controlling interests compared with the first nine months of 2019.

Report on operations

Condensed consolidated financial statements

Net capital employed at September 30, 2020 amounted to €92,367 million and was funded by shareholders' equity attributable to the shareholders of the Parent Company and non-controlling interests in the amount of €43,414 million and net financial debt of €48,953 million. At September 30, 2020, the debt/equity ratio was 1.13 (0.96 at December 31, 2019).

The increase in net financial debt amounted to €3,778 million (+8.4%) and was associated with (i) funding require-

ments connected with investment in the period (€6,563 mil- lion), (ii) payment of dividends for a total of €4,632 million, and (iii) extraordinary transactions in non-controlling interests connected with the acquisitions of additional equity in Enel Américas and Enel Chile (€1,074 million).

The positive cash flow from operations (€6,560 million) and favorable developments in the exchange rates applicable to debt denominated in foreign currency partly offset the cash requirements of the developments indicated above.

Analysis of the Group's financial position and financial structure

One notable development was the decrease in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets associated with the writedown of the Bocamina II coal-fired plant in Chi- le, as well as depreciation and amortization for the period and, above all, the adverse developments in exchange rates in Latin America net of investment for the period. This decrease in net capital employed was more than offset by the change

in net current assets, reflecting normal developments in accounts receivable/payable in the COVID-19 environment and the general decline in operating costs, especially for fuels.

Finally, shareholders' equity declined in particular as a result of the dividend distribution and adverse exchange rate deve- lopments, especially in Latin America.

More specifically, gross long-term financial debt (including the short-term portion) amounted to €54,507 million, of which €14,366 million in respect of financing associated with sustainable development goals (SDGs). It breaks down as follows:

bonds in the amount of €41,644 million, of which €7,219 million in respect of bonds linked to sustainability goals. More specifically, bonds decreased by €3,556 million com- pared with December 31, 2019, mainly reflecting repay- ments of bonds in the period and exchange rate gains. The main bonds maturing in the first nine months of 2020 were:
- €410 million in respect of fixed-rate hybrid bond issued by Enel SpA, maturing in January 2020;
- €100 million in respect of a fixed-rate bond issued by Enel Finance International, maturing in January 2020;
- €482 million in respect of a fixed-rate bond issued by Enel Finance International, maturing in March 2020;
- 100 million Swiss francs, the equivalent of €93 million, in respect of a fixed-rate bond issued by Enel Finance International, maturing in June 2020;
- £400 million, the equivalent of €438 million, in respect of a fixed-rate hybrid bond issued by Enel SpA, matu- ring in September 2020;
- £250 million, the equivalent of € 274 million, in respect of the repurchase and subsequent cancellation by Enel SpA of hybrid bonds issued in January 2014 with a first optional redemption date of September 15, 2021;
bank borrowings of €10,105 million, of which €7,147 mil- lion in respect of loans linked to sustainability goals. That financing increased by a total of €577 million compared with December 31, 2019, mainly reflecting new loans, only

partly offset by exchange rate gains and repayments in the period. New bank borrowing included:

- €250 million in drawings on variable-rate financing linked to sustainability goals granted to e-distribuzione by the European Investment Bank;

- the equivalent of €290 million in respect of a variable-rate loan linked to the achievement of SDGs granted to Enel Finance America;

- €300 million in respect of a variable-rate loan linked to the achievement of sustainability goals granted to En- desa;
other borrowings of €2,758 million, essentially unchanged compared with December 31, 2019.

Gross short-term financial debt amounted to €7,705 million, an increase of €3,741 million compared with December 31, 2019. It mainly includes commercial paper of €5,783 million, cash collateral on derivatives of €753 million and other short- term bank borrowings of €997 million.

In the 1st Half of 2020, Enel Finance International and Endesa structured commercial paper programs linked to sustainability objectives and at September 30, 2020 total issues amounted to €4,677 million.

Cash and cash equivalents and short- and long-term financial receivables totaled €13,259 million, a decrease of €3,113 million on December 31, 2019, mainly reflecting the decrease of €3,442 million in cash and cash equivalents with banks and short term securities, only partly offset by an increase of €475 million in cash collateral paid.

Cash flows

Cash flows from operating activities in the first nine mon-	reflecting the increase in cash requirements connected with
ths of 2020 were a positive €6,560 million, down €1,111 mil-	the change in net current assets, including effects associated
lion on the corresponding period of the previous year, largely	with COVID-19.

Analysis of the Group's financial position and financial structure

Cash flows from investing/disinvesting activities in the first nine months of 2020 absorbed funds in the amount of €6,482 million, compared with €6,360 million in the first nine months of 2019.

Investments in property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and assets from contracts with customers amounted €6,563 million, essentially unchanged on the same period of the previous year. Please see the next section for more infor- mation.

Investments in entities and business units, net of cash and cash equivalents acquired, amounted to €29 million and mainly regard the acquisition by Enel Green Power España of 100% of Parque Eólico Tico SLU Tico Solar 1 SLU and Tico Solar 2 SLU, as well as the acquisition by Endesa Generación Portugal of 100% of Suggestion Power - Unipessoal Lda. In the first nine months of 2019, the item amounted to €250 million and mainly regarded the acquisition through EGPNA (now Enel North America) of 100% of seven plants operating from renewable sources from the EGPNA REP joint venture, which is held 50% by EGPNA and the remaining 50% by General Electric Capital's Energy Financial Services.

Disposals of entities and business units, net of cash and cash equivalents sold, amounted to €153 million, mainly in respect of the disposal by Enel Green Power North America of a number of companies owning hydroelectric plants that had been accounted for using the equity method, the disposal by Endesa of 80% of its stake in Endesa Soluciones, the disposal of a number of storage facilities in North America and the receipt of a residual receivable from the sale last year of the coal-fired Reftinskaya plant in Russia (partly offset by the payment of a residual VAT liability connected with the transaction). In the first nine months of 2019, the item amounted to €493 million, mainly reflecting the disposal of 100% of three solar plants in Brazil and the sale of the Mercure generation plant business unit.

Liquidity absorbed generated by other investing/disinvesting activities in the first nine months of 2020 amounted to €43 million, essentially regarding the capital contribution to the OpEn Fiber joint venture, partly offset by small disinvestments, mainly in Italy, Iberia and Latin America.

Cash flows from financing activities showed funds absorbed in the amount of €2,972 million, while in the first nine months of 2019 financing activities had absorbed cash of €1,207 million. The flow in the first nine months of 2020 essentially reflected:

the payment of dividends in the amount of €4,632 million;
the cash requirements generated by transactions in non-controlling interests in the amount of €482 million. These mainly included the increase in the stake held in Enel Américas and Enel Chile through a number of sha- re swap agreements with a leading financial institution (€1,074 million), partly offset by the issue of a perpetual non-convertible subordinated hybrid bond denominated in euros reserved for institutional investors;
an increase €2,151 million in net financial debt (the balance of repayments, new borrowing and other changes), prima- rily reflecting commercial paper issues.

In the first nine months of 2020, cash flows from operating activities in the amount of €6,560 million only partly funded the cash needs for financing activities totaling €2,972 million and for investment activities in the amount of €6,482 million. The difference was reflected in a decrease in cash and cash equiva- lents, which at September 30, 2020 amounted to €5,638 mil- lion, compared with €9,080 million at the end of 2019. This also reflected the effects of adverse developments in the exchange rates of the various local currencies against the euro in the amount of €548 million.

Report on operations

financial statements

Capital expenditure amounted to €6,563 million in the first nine months of 2020, down €26 million compared with the first nine months of 2019.

The reduction concerned expenditure on the plants of Thermal Generation and Trading, especially in Iberia (€85 million) and Latin America (€38 million), as well as lower investments by Enel X and Services.

These effects were only partially offset by an increase in capital expenditure on renewable resource plants and Infrastructure and Networks.

Major investments in renewables were registered in Chile (€259 million), the United States (€300 million), South Africa

(€135 million), Russia (€59 million), and Brazil (€18 million net of the large adverse impact of exchange rate developments of €143 million), only partially offset by a decline in expenditure in Iberia (€286 million), Mexico (€223 million), Greece (€89 million), India (€45 million) and Canada (€39 million).

Capital expenditure increased in Italy on the distribution grids of medium- and high-voltage plants (€35 million), in Iberia (€41 million) on maintenance activities and an increase in connection activities compared with 2019 and in Romania (€16 million) for work connected with service quality and new connections. Expenditure decreased in Latin America, in particular in Argentina (€57 million).

Analysis of the Group's financial position and financial structure

Results by business area

The representation of performance by business area presented here is based on the approach used by management in monitoring Group performance for the two periods under re- view, taking account of the operational model adopted by the Group as described above.

Specifically, bearing in mind that management reports performance by business area, the Group has therefore adopted the following reporting sectors:

primary sector: business area;

secondary sector: geographical area.

The business area is therefore the main discriminant in the analyzes performed and decisions taken by the management of the Group, and is fully consistent with the internal reporting prepared for these purposes since the results are measured and evaluated first and foremost for each business area and only thereafter are they broken down by country.

The following chart outlines these organizational arrange- ments.

42	Interim Financial Report at September 30, 2020

The organization continues to be based on matrix of Business Lines (Thermal Generation and Trading, Enel Green Power, Infrastructure and Networks, End-user Markets, Enel X, Services and Holding/Other) and geographical areas (Italy, Iberia, Europe, Latin America, North America, Africa, Asia and Ocea- nia, Central/Holding).

Note that in order to improve the presentation of the perfor-

mance of the various Business Lines, with effect from March 31, 2020, the data pertaining to large customers managed by the generation companies in Latin America have been reallocated to the End-user Markets Business Line. In order to ensure the full comparability of the figures commented here, the comparative figures for the first nine months of 2019 have been adjusted appropriately.

The decrease in net generation was essentially due to a sharp decrease in coal generation in the amount of 22,955 million kWh, primarily in Russia (13,333 million kWh), due to the disposal of the Reftinskaya GRES coal-fired plant on October 1, 2019, Iberia (5,323 million kWh) and Italy (3,260 million kWh) due to the acceleration of the energy transition process. In

general, generation from other high-emissions plants declined to the benefit of generation from renewables. More specifically, in the first nine months of 2020, decreases were registered in fuel-oil and turbogas generation in the amount of 1,415 million kWh and combined-cycle generation (2,363 million kWh).

Report on operations

Condensed consolidated financial statements

The increase in the gross operating margin in the first nine months of 2020 mainly reflects:

an increase in the margin posted in Iberia, essentially at- tributable to:
- the decrease in personnel costs of €234 million, due es- sentially to the application of the 5th Endesa Collective Bargaining Agreement, which modified the electricity discount benefit for employees and former employees;
- the benefits of the strategy for procuring energy com- modities and the improvement in operating efficiency;
- the decrease in costs associated with services in reflection of the lockdown imposed in response to the COVID-19 health emergency.

These factors were only partly offset by:

- the increase in charges (€204 million) in respect of corporate restructuring plans undertaken by the Group as part of the energy transition process, regarding in particular coal-fired plants in Spain;

- an increase in tax charges of €62 million, due to the effect of the temporary suspension, for 2019 only, of the tax on electricity generation and on fuels used in conventional thermal and nuclear generation (Royal De- cree Law 15/2018) as well as the introduction in July 2020 of a new "eco-tax" in Catalonia;
an increase of €219 million in the margin in Italy, mainly attributable to the sharp reduction in procurement costs of thermal generation plants being decommissioned. This factor was partly offset by the effect of the recognition in

the first nine months of 2019 of the gain of €94 million on the sale of Mercure Srl (net of contractually agreed site restoration costs);

a decrease in the margin in Latin America, reflecting:
- the reduction of €155 million in the margin in Chile, due mainly to the effect of the recognition in the first nine months of 2019 of an indemnity of €80 million received from Anglo American for having exercised the early wi- thdrawal option as well as a decrease in volumes sold;
- the reduction of €42 million in the margin in Brazil, due primarily to the decrease in volumes sold in an environ- ment of declining average prices and the depreciation of the Brazilian real against the euro;
- the reduction of €39 million in the margin in Argentina, primarily attributable to adverse exchange rate develop- ments;
a decrease of €82 million in the margin posted in Europe, especially in Russia, essentially as a result of the disposal of the Reftinskaya GRES coal-fired plant.

The ordinary gross operating margin increased by €353 million in the first nine months of 2020. In addition to the developments discussed in the comments on the gross opera-

Operating income

ting margin, the rise was attributable to the impact of various non-recurring items in the two periods. In particular, in the first nine months of 2020, the items not considered in determining the ordinary gross operating margin regarded:

the costs provisioned in Spain for personnel retraining in connection with the acceleration of the energy transition process (€204 million);
the writedowns recognized in the first nine months of 2020 on the inventories of coal-fired plants as a result of the as- sessment of the recoverability of the carrying amounts of the assets of such plants, which had already been affected by impairment losses (€124 million, of which €87 million in Italy, €18 million in Chile and €19 million in Spain);
non-recurringcosts for addressing the COVID-19 pande- mic (€8 million) for the sanitization of workplaces, personal

protective equipment and donations.

In the same period of 2019, extraordinary items included:

writedowns of inventories a plants affected by impairment losses (€203 million);
income from the sale of the Valle del Mercure biomass plant (€94 million net of the contractually agreed site re- storation costs).

The improvement in the operating result reflected not only the factors noted in the comments on the gross operating margin but also a decrease of €3,537 million in depreciation, amortization and impairment recognized in the first nine months of 2020 compared with the corresponding period of 2019.

Capital expenditure

More specifically, the decrease in depreciation and amortization amounted to €261 million, while the decline in impairment of assets came to €3,280 million in the first nine months of 2020 compared with the year-earlier period.

Report on operations

Condensed consolidated financial statements

In the first nine months of 2020, net electricity generation increased mainly due to an increase in output from wind, solar and hydroelectric sources.

More specifically, the most significant changes from wind plants occurred in the United States, where an increase of 1,651 million kWh was recorded, mainly due to the start-up of the High Lonesome (I and II) and Whitney Hill plants. Other increases were registered in Mexico, which saw generation rise by 328 million kWh, notably due to the start-up of the Dolores Wind plant, in Canada, with a rise of 226 million kWh due mainly to the entry into service of the Riverview plant, in Iberia (+649 million kWh) and in Greece, where the increase of 310 million KWh was mainly connected with the start-up of the new Kafireas wind farms.

Solar generation mainly increased in the United States (+695 million kWh), with a significant contribution from the new Ro-

adrunner plant, in Mexico (+346 million kWh), thanks primarily to the start-up of the Magdalena plant, and in Iberia (+376 million kWh), mainly reflecting the connection of new plants at the end of 2019 in the Extremadura region.

With regard to hydroelectric generation, the widespread reduction in water resources was more than offset by greater production from pumping in Spain and Italy, where increases of 2,095 million kWh and 55 million kWh were recorded, re- spectively. These effects were offset by a sharp reduction in Latin America (-1,087 million kWh). Developments in the latter area differed across the various countries. More specifically, output decreased in Chile (-1,012 million kWh) and Colombia (-1,100 million kWh) and increased in Peru (+128 million kWh), Brazil (+393 million kWh), Argentina (+401 million kWh) and Guatemala (+115 million kWh).

The figures have been adjusted to take account of the fact that in Latin America the figures pertaining to large customers managed by the generation companies have been reallocated to the End-user Markets Business Line.

The change in the gross operating margin in the first nine months of 2020 is essentially attributable to:

an increase in the margin in Italy, mainly due to the impro- ved performance of hydroelectric plants;
the increase in the margin in Spain, mainly attributable to an increase in greater quantities produced and sold, thanks in part to the expansion of installed capacity as a result of the entry into service of a number of wind farms during 2019;
the improvement in the margin in North America, mainly in the United States and Canada, where the effect of the re- cognition of negative goodwill of €106 million in 2019 was more than offset by the following effects:
- an increase in income from tax partnerships (€108 mil- lion) recognized in the first nine months of 2020 fol- lowing the entry into operation of new plant of Enel

North America (formerly Enel Green Power North Ame- rica), in particular High Lonesome, Whitney Hill Wind Power and Roadrunner;

- an increase in income from indemnities and disputes (€46 million);
the increase in the margin recorded in Europe and in parti- cular in Greece following the entry into service of the Kafi- reas wind farms in the early months of 2020;
the decline in the margin in Latin America, mainly due to:
- a decrease in the margin in Chile, mainly reflecting the effect of the recognition in the first nine months of 2019 by Enel Generación Chile of revenue for indemnities of €80 million following the exercise by a major industrial customer of the right of withdrawal from a long-term electricity supply contract, as well as adverse exchange rate developments (€56 million);

a decrease in the margin in Brazil, mainly reflecting a decline in quantities sold and the significant deprecia- tion of the Brazilian real against the euro;

Capital expenditure in the first nine months of 2020 increased by €70 million on the same period of 2019. This change is attributable to:

an increase of €288 million in expenditure in Latin Ameri- ca, mainly in photovoltaic plants (€291 million), geothermal facilities (€16 million) and wind farms (€14 million), partly offset by a reduction in investment in hydroelectric plants (€65 million). The largest investments were concentrated mainly in Chile and Brazil;
an increase of €61 million in expenditure in Africa, Asia and Oceania, mainly involving wind farms in South Africa (€135 million), in particular for the development of Round 4, part- ly offset by a decline in investment in India (€45 million);
an increase of €38 million in expenditure in North America, mainly regarding an increase in investment in the United States in wind farms (€232 million) and photovoltaic plan-

ts (€80 million), partly offset by a reduction in investment in wind (€131 million) and photovoltaic (€91 million) plants in Mexico and in wind farms in Canada (€39 million), reflecting the entry into service of numerous plants built in 2019;

a reduction of €286 million in expenditure in Iberia, mainly on wind farms (€289 million) in consideration of the fact that most of the projects in the portfolio were carried out in 2019. This was partly offset by an increase in investment in hydroelectric plants;
a reduction of €38 million in expenditure in Europe, in par- ticular in Greece (€89 million) following the entry into ser- vice of projects developed in 2019. This effect was partially offset by the increase in investment in wind farms in Rus- sia (€59 million).

The decrease of 5.9% in electricity transported on the network in the first nine months of 2020 generally reflected the effects of the COVID-19 health emergency, with the following main impacts by geographical area:

Italy (-8.1%), where the decline in demand for electricity distributed involved low-voltage customers for non-resi- dential use (-5.4 TWh), and medium-voltage customers (-5.3 TWh). The demand for electricity from high- and very

The gross operating margin declined for the following rea- sons:

in Latin America, and Brazil in particular, the decrease reflected the decline in wheeling volumes as a result of COVID-19 and adverse exchange rate developments. However, in Argentina it was also attributable to the effect recognition in the first nine months of 2019 of the agree- ment between Edesur and the Argentine government sett- ling reciprocal disputes originated between 2006 and 2016 (€202 million);
in Italy, the decrease was mainly attributable to the decli- ne in margins as a result of the contraction in wheeling volumes due to COVID-19 and the effect of the indemni- ty received in 2019 connected with the disposal of Enel Rete Gas (€50 million). These factors were partly offset by an increase in income for the reimbursement of system charges and grid fees under the provisions of the Regula- tory Authority for Energy, Networks and the Environment

(ARERA) Resolutions no. 50/2018 and no. 568/2019 (€51 million).

The decreases in Latin America and Italy were partly offset by an increase in the margin in Iberia of €136 million, reflecting in

particular the signing in the 1st Half of 2020 of the 5th Endesa Collective Bargaining Agreement, which modified the electricity discount benefit for employees and former employees and thereby led to the reversal of the associated provision in the total amount of €269 million. This positive effect was only partly offset by the provision of €91 million for the voluntary early termination of employment and the adverse effect of the decrease in quantities transported and the application of the new rate mechanism in Spain, which entered force for the 2020-2025 period.

The ordinary gross operating margin decreased by €345 million compared with 2019.

Extraordinary items generated an increase of €89 million in the ordinary gross operating margin, bearing in mind that the figures for 2020 include costs of €39 million incurred mainly in Italy and Brazil in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic for the sanitization of workplaces, personal protective equipment and donations, while in the previous year they had included the additional indemnity (€50 million) connected with the disposal of Enel Rete Gas in 2009.

Capital expenditure increased by a total of €48 million over the first nine months of 2019. More specifically, the increase reflects:

in Italy, capital expenditure for high- and medium-voltage plants;
in Spain, expenditure on distribution lines, substations,

transformers and the replacement of metering equipment. That increase was partly offset by a reduction in capital expenditure in Latin America, especially in Argentina as a result of adverse exchange rate developments and a freeze on rates since February 2019.

The gross operating margin for the first nine of 2020 essentially decreased as a result of:

a decrease of €88 million in the margin in Iberia, mainly reflecting a decrease in quantities sold and the lower margins caused by the hedging activities, due in part to the persistence of the downward impact of COVID-19 on volumes and demand. These effects were partly offset by lower procurement costs;
a decrease in the margin in Latin America, mainly due to the depreciation of local currencies against the euro, espe- cially in Brazil, and the effect of the indemnity received du-

ring the first nine months of 2019 by Edesur (€26 million);

an increase of €58 million in the margin in Romania, due to the combined effect of an increase in revenue generated as a result of an increase in unit prices on both the free and regulated markets and a decrease in costs incurred in the regulated market;
a slight increase in the margin in Italy, where the reduction of €70 million in the margin on the free market (mainly due to lower sales) was offset by a rise of €71 million in the margin on the regulated market (due to the decrease in operating costs, which mainly reflected the reversal of

butable to the sale of e-industries assets and a reduction in	fects were partially offset by an increase in the e-home ope-
expenditure in e-home operations due to a change in the stra-	rations and public lighting activities in Italy and an increase in

The deterioration in the gross operating margin in the first nine months of 2020 is mainly attributable to:

Spain in the amount of €73 million, mainly due to a de- cline in revenue from services provided to other Group companies, an increase in costs as a result of provisions for early retirement incentives based on the amendments made to the "agreement on the voluntary suspension or

termination of employment contracts" and restructuring costs for direct and indirect activities connected with the energy transition plans undertaken by the Group. These effects were partially offset by a decrease in costs associated with the reversal of the energy discount provision following the signing of the 5th Endesa Collective Bargaining Agreement;

Results by business area

Italy in the amount of €64 million, reflecting the decrease in revenue from services and customer contracts with other Group companies. This factor was only partly offset by the decrease in costs for services and personnel costs. These developments were mainly attributable to the demerger of the Global Procurement and Global Digital Solutions units,

which are now reported in part under "Other", whose gross operating margin improved by €12 million.

Both Italy and Spain were affected by the adverse impact on the margin of costs incurred in response to the COVID-19 pandemic (€36 million).

Operating income

The ordinary gross operating margin decreased by €80 million compared with the first nine months of 2019. Extraordinary items caused the margin to increase by 43 million compared with the gross operating margin, reflecting the non-recurringcosts connected with COVID-19for the sanitization of the workplace, personal protective equipment and donation, as well as €7 million in charges associated with direct and indirect activities connected with the acceleration of the energy transition process.

Definition of performance indicators

Report on operations

In order to present the results of the Group and analyze its financial structure, in the Interim Financial Report at Septem- ber 30, 2020, Enel has prepared separate reclassified schedules that differ from the schedules envisaged under the IFRS-EU adopted by the Group. These reclassified schedules contain different performance indicators from those obtained directly from the condensed consolidated financial statemen- ts, which management believes are useful in monitoring the performance of the Group and representative of the financial performance of our business.

With regard to those indicators, on December 3, 2015, CON- SOB issued Communication no. 92543/15, which gives force to the Guidelines issued on October 5, 2015, by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) concerning the presentation of alternative performance measures in regulated information disclosed or prospectuses published as from July 3, 2016. These Guidelines, which update the previous CESR Recommendation (CESR/05-178b), are intended to promote the usefulness and transparency of alternative performance indicators included in regulated information or prospectuses within the scope of application of Directive 2003/71/EC in order to improve their comparability, reliability and comprehen- sibility.

Accordingly, in line with the regulations cited above, the criteria used to construct these indicators are the following.

Gross operating margin: an operating performance indicator, calculated as "Operating income" plus "Depreciation, amortization and impairment losses".

Ordinary gross operating margin: it is calculated by adjusting the "Gross operating margin" for all items generated by non-recurring transactions, such as acquisitions or disposals of businesses (for example, capital gains and losses), with the exception of those transactions carried out by the Group in the renewable segment, related to the new "Build, Sell and Operate" business model, where the income from the disposal (or repurchase) of projects represents an ordinary activity. Also excluded from the ordinary gross operating margin are charges associated with corporate restructuring plans launched by the Group as part of the energy transition process.

Finally, the costs incurred by the Group, on an extraordinary basis, to deal with the COVID-19 emergency are also exclu-

ded (such as, for example, for the sanitization of workplaces, personal protective equipment and donations).

Ordinary operating income: it is calculated by adjusting the "Operating income" for the effects of the non-recurring transactions referred to with regard to the ordinary gross operating margin, as well as significant impairment losses on as- sets, including following impairment testing or classification under "Assets held for sale".

Group ordinary net income: it is defined as "Group net inco- me" generated by Enel's core business and is equal to "Group net income" excluding the impact on it (and therefore net of any tax effects and non-controlling interests) of the items discussed under "Ordinary operating income".

Net non-currentassets: calculated as the difference between "Non-current assets" and "Non-current liabilities" with the exception of:

"Deferred tax assets";
"Securities" and "Other financial receivables" included in "Other non-current financial assets";
"Long-termborrowings";
"Employee benefits";
"Provisions for risks and charges (non-current portion)";
"Deferred tax liabilities".

Net current assets: calculated as the difference between "Current assets" and "Current liabilities" with the exception of:

"Current portion of long-term financial receivables", "Facto- ring receivables", "Securities", "Cash collateral" and "Other financial receivables" included in "Other current financial assets";
"Cash and cash equivalents";
"Short-termborrowings" and the "Current portion of long- term borrowings";
"Provisions for risks and charges (current portion)";
"Other financial payables" included in "Other current lia- bilities".

Net assets held for sale: calculated as the algebraic sum of "Assets held for sale" and "Liabilities held for sale".

Condensed consolidated financial statements

Definition of performance indicators

Net capital employed: calculated as the sum of "Net non-current assets" and "Net current assets", "Provisions for risks and charges", "Deferred tax liabilities" and "Deferred tax as- sets", as well as "Net assets held for sale".

Net financial debt: a financial structure indicator, determined by:

"Long-termborrowings" and "Short-term borrowings and the current portion of long-term borrowings", taking account of "Short-term financial payables" included in "Other current liabilities";
net of "Cash and cash equivalents";

net of the "Current portion of long-term financial recei- vables", "Factoring receivables", "Cash collateral" and "Other financial receivables" included in "Other current financial assets";
net of "Securities" and "Other financial receivables" inclu-

ded in "Other non-current financial assets".

More generally, the net financial debt of the Enel Group is calculated in accordance with paragraph 127 of Recommendation CESR/05-054b implementing Regulation (EC) no. 809/2004 and in line with the CONSOB instructions of July 28, 2006, net of financial receivables and long-term securities.

Main changes in the scope of consolidation

In the two periods under review, the scope of consolidation changed as a result of a number of transactions. For more

information, please see note 4 of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2020.

Outlook

Report on operations

The first nine months of the year were characterized by a macroeconomic environment that was volatile and highly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, in response to which the Group has issued guidelines aimed at preventing and/or mitigating the effects of the contagion in the workplace and at the same time ensuring business continuity. The Group is also constantly monitoring the impacts on macroeconomic and business variables in order to produce accurate real-time estimates of the potential consequences of the pandemic on the Group and to enable their mitigation with reaction or contingency plans.

Thanks to the geographical diversification of the Group, a business model integrated along the value chain, a solid financial structure and a level of digitalization that enables it to ensure the continuity of operations with the same level of service, the Group has displayed significant resilience, which was reflected in performance and the financial position in the first nine months of the year, underscoring our sound performance even in the face of exceptional events such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Enel Group was therefore able to continue implementing the strategy outlined in the 2020-2022 Strategic Plan, presented in November 2019, which is founded on a sustainable and fully integrated business model. It is designed to enable Enel

to seize the opportunities linked to the global trends of decarbonization of generation and electrification of energy consu- mption, leveraging enabling factors such as the digitalization of grids and the adoption of platforms for all customer-related activities.

For the remainder of 2020, we envisage:

an acceleration of investment in renewable energy, espe- cially in Latin America and North America, in support of industrial growth to drive decarbonization;
further progress in the digitalization of distribution grids, mainly in Italy and Latin America, with the aim of impro- ving the service quality and increasing grid flexibility and resilience;
an increase in investment devoted to the electrification of energy consumption, with the aim of leveraging the expan- sion of the customer base, and to continuous efficiency enhancement, supported by the creation of global busi- ness platforms.

For 2020, the targets indicated in the 2020-2022 Strategic Plan, as partially updated and announced to investors on July 29, 2020 on the occasion of the approval of the Half-Year Financial Report at June 30, 2020, are confirmed.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2020

1. Accounting policies and measurement criteria

Report on operations

statements

The accounting standards adopted, the recognition and measurement criteria and the consolidation criteria and methods used for the condensed consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2020 are the same as those adopted for the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2019 (please see the related report for more information), with the exception of management's assumptions concerning certain areas of the financial statements as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which are discussed below, and amendments to a number of accounting standards. More specifically, as from January 1, 2020 the following amendments of accounting standards have become applicable to the Enel Group.

"Amendments to IFRS 3 - Definition of a Business", issued in October 2018, is intended to assist companies in deter- mining whether a set of activities and assets is a business. More specifically, the amendments clarify that a business, considered as an integrated set of activities and assets, must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the abili- ty to create outputs. Accordingly, the amendments clarify that a business cannot exist without including the inputs and substantive processes necessary to produce outputs. The definition of "output", as modified by these amend- ments, focuses on the goods and services delivered to customers, on investment income and other revenue and excludes returns in the form of lower costs or other eco- nomic benefits.
"Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 - Interest Rate Benchmark Reform", issued in September 2019. The amendments: (i) provide for temporary exceptions that enable hedging relationships to continue during the period of uncertainty until alterative risk-free rates are established with the interbank offered rates (IBORs) reform; and (ii) require additional disclosures on hedging relationships di-

rectly affected by the uncertainty. In this regard, note that the reform will impact fair value measurement, the effects of hedge accounting and the net financial results when the alternative rates are defined.

"Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 - Definition of Material", issued in October 2018, to align the definition of "material" between the accounting standards and the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting and clarify a number of aspects. The definition of material is as follows: "informa- tion is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the pri- mary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provi- de financial information about a specific reporting entity." More specifically, the amendments clarify that:
- "obscuring information" regards situations for which the effect for users of financial statements is similar to the omission or misstatement of information whose materiality is assessed in the context of the financial statements taken as a whole;
- "primary users of financial statements", to whom ge- neral purpose financial statements are directed, are "existing and potential investors, lenders and other creditors" who must rely on general purpose financial statements for much of the financial information they need; and
- "materiality" depends on the nature or magnitude of information, or both. An entity assesses whether infor- mation, either individually or in combination with other information, is material in the context of its financial statements taken as a whole. A misstatement of infor- mation is material if it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions made by the primary users of the financial statements.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2020

"Amendments to References to the Conceptual Fra- mework in IFRS Standards", issued in March 2018. The do- cument sets out the amendments to affected standards in order to update references to the revised Conceptual Framework. These amendments accompany the latest version of the "Revised Conceptual Framework for Finan- cial Reporting", issued in March 2018 and in effect as from January 1, 2020, which includes some new concepts, provides updated definitions and recognition criteria and clarifies some important concepts. The main amendments include:
- an increase in the importance of management's stewardship of economic resources for financial repor- ting purposes;
- the restoration of prudence as an element supporting neutrality;
- the definition of reporting entity, which may be a legal entity or a portion of that entity;
- the revision of the definitions of assets and liabilities;
- elimination of the probability threshold in recognition and the addition of guidelines for derecognition;

- the addition of guidelines on various measurement ba- ses; and

- the affirmation that profit or loss is the primary indicator of performance and that, in principle, income and expenses included in other comprehensive income shall be recycled to the income statement when doing so results in the income statement providing more relevant information or a more faithful representation.

Seasonality

The turnover and performance of the Group could be impacted, albeit slightly, by developments in weather conditions. More specifically, in warmer periods of the year, gas sales decline, while during periods in which factories are closed for holidays, electricity sales decline. In view of the slight financial impact of these variations, considering that the Group's operations are spread across both hemispheres, no additional disclosure (required under IAS 34.21) for developments in the 12 months ended September 30, 2020 is provided.

2. Effects of the application of new accounting standards and interpretations

In its Agenda Decision of 2019, the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) clarified the proper recognition of contracts entered into to buy or sell fixed-pricenon-financial items, accounted for at fair value through profit or loss under IFRS 9 and physically settled, including energy commodities.

Based on that measure, the Group changed its accounting policy for the year ended December 31, 2019, with no impact on net income or equity.

Past practice was based on the recognition in:

"Net income/(expense) from commodity contracts measu- red at fair value" of changes in the fair value of outstanding derivatives as well as of the effects in profit or loss, at the settlement date, of the derecognition of derivative assets/ liabilities deriving from the fair value measurement of tho- se contracts;
"Revenue from sales and services" and "Electricity, gas and fuel purchases" of revenue and costs on the settle- ment date.

The current treatment of such contracts for non-financial items that do not meet the requirements for the own use exemption envisages recognition:

under "Revenue" of changes in fair value on outstanding sale contracts as well as, at the settlement date, of the revenue together with the effects in profit or loss from the derecognition of assets/liabilities deriving from the fair va- lue measurement of those contracts;
under "Costs":
- of changes in fair value on outstanding purchase con- tracts; and
- at the settlement date, of the associated purchase co- sts as well as the effects in profit or loss from dereco- gnition of assets/liabilities deriving from the fair value

measurement of those contracts.

Consequently the income statement line "Net income/ (expense) from commodity contracts measured at fair value" has been renamed as "Net income/(expense) from commodity risk management", which currently includes only changes in fair value and settlement effects of energy commodity derivatives without physical settlement.

Argentina - Hyperinflationary economy: impact of the application of IAS 29

As from July 1, 2018, the Argentine economy has been considered hyperinflationary based on the criteria established by "IAS 29 - Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies". This designation is determined following an assessment of a series of qualitative and quantitative circumstances, including the presence of a cumulative inflation rate of more than 100% over the previous three years.

For the purposes of preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements and in accordance with IAS 29, certain items of the balance sheets of the investees in Argentina have been remeasured by applying the general consumer price index to historical data in order to reflect changes in the purchasing power of the Argentine peso at the reporting date for those companies.

Bearing in mind that the Enel Group acquired control of the Argentine companies on June 25, 2009, the remeasurement of the non-monetarybalance-sheet figures was conducted by applying the inflation indices starting from that date. In addition to being already reflected in the opening balance sheet, the accounting effects of that remeasurement also include changes during the period. More specifically, the effect of the

remeasurement of non-monetary items, the components of equity and the components of the income statement recognized in the first nine months of 2020 was recognized in a specific line of the income statement under financial income and expense. The associated tax effect was recognized in taxes for the period.

In order to also take account of the impact of hyperinflation on the exchange rate of the local currency, the income statement balances expressed in the hyperinflationary currency have been translated into the Group's presentation currency (euro) applying, in accordance with IAS 21, the closing exchange rate rather than the average rate for the period in order to adjust these amounts to current values.

The cumulative changes in the general price indices at De- cember 31, 2019 and September 30, 2020 are shown in the following table.

	Cumulative change in
Periods	general consumer price index
From July 1, 2009 to December 31, 2018	346,30%
From January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019	54,46%

From January 1, 2020 to September 30, 2020	22,19%

94	Interim Financial Report at September 30, 2020

In the first nine months of 2020, the application of IAS 29 generated net financial income (gross of tax) of €44 million.

The following tables report the effects of IAS 29 on the balance at September 30, 2020 and the impact of hyperinflation on the main income statement items for the first nine months of

2019, differentiating between that concerning the revaluation on the basis of the general consumer price index and that due to the application of the closing exchange rate rather than the average exchange rate for the period in accordance with the provisions of IAS 21 for hyperinflationary economies.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2020

3. Restatement of comparative disclosures

The figures presented in the comments and tables of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2020 are consistent and comparable.

Note that the income statement figures at September 30,

2019 have been adjusted for the following circumstances:

in the light of the introduction of the new accounting poli- cy, as a result of the IFRIC Agenda Decision of March 2019, for the recognition of contracts for the sale and purchase of non-financial items that are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9 and settled with physi- cal settlement, analogous reclassifications of the comparative

balances for 2019 have been performed to ensure the uniformity and comparability of the figures. These reclassifications had no impact on margins or on shareholders' equity. Please see note 2 for further details;

with effect from March 31, 2020 in Latin America, the figu- res pertaining to large customers managed by the generation companies have been reallocated to the End-user Markets Business Line. This change impacted segment reporting but did not have any impact on the overall figures for the Group, although amounts were reclassified within the various Busi- ness Lines.

4. Main changes in the scope of consolidation

At September 30, 2020, the scope of consolidation had changed with respect to September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2019, as a result of the following main transactions.

2019

Disposal, on March 1, 2019, of 100% of Mercure Srl, a company to which the business unit consisting of the Mer- cure biomass plant and the related legal relationships had been previously transferred. As provided for in the preli- minary agreement reached on May 30, 2018, the provisio- nal price for the transaction was €162 million, equal to the value of the business unit at January 1, 2018. At June 30, 2019, that price was adjusted on the basis of a number of specified variables;
acquisition, on March 14, 2019, by Enel Green Power SpA, acting through its US renewables subsidiary Enel Nor- th America (formerly Enel Green Power North America), of 100% of 13 companies that own seven operating re- newable generation plants from Enel Green Power North America Renewable Energy Partners (EGPNA REP), a joint

venture 50% owned by Enel North America (formerly Enel Green Power North America) and 50% by General Electric Capital's Energy Financial Services;

acquisition, on March 27, 2019, by Enel Green Power SpA (EGP), acting through its US renewables subsidiary Enel North America (formerly Enel Green Power North Ameri- ca), of Tradewind Energy, a renewable energy project de- velopment company based in Lenexa, Kansas. EGP has incorporated the entire Tradewind development platform, which includes 13 GW of wind, solar and storage projects located in the United States. The agreement also provided for the sale, which took place in June, of Savion, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tradewind;
on April 30, 2019, Enel X Italy acquired 100% di YouSave SpA, an Italian company operating in the energy services sector, providing assistance to large electricity consumers;
on May 31, 2019, the finalization, acting through the re- newables subsidiary Enel Green Power Brasil Participações Ltda, of the disposal of 100% of three renewables plants in Brazil. The total price of the transaction was about R$2.7 billion, the equivalent of about €603 million.

2020

In January 2020, the Wild Plains project company, 100% owned by Tradewind, was sold. The sale did not have an impact on profit or loss;
on May 11, 2020 Endesa Energía sold 80% of Endesa So- luciones for €21 million. The interest, which had previously been consolidated on a line-by-line basis, is now accounted for using the equity method;

on July 7, 2020, Enel Green Power España acquired 100% of Parque Eólico Tico SLU Tico Solar 1 SLU and Tico Solar 2 SLU for a total of €40 million;
on September 14, 2020, Endesa Generación Portugal acquired 100% of Suggestion Power - Unipessoal Lda for €6 million;
on September 17, 2020 Enel X International acquired 60% di Viva Labs AS for €2 million.

Other changes

In addition to the above changes in the scope of consolida- tion, the following transactions, which although they do not represent transactions involving the acquisition or loss of con- trol, gave rise to a change in the interest held by the Group in the investees:

disposal, in January 2020, of a number of 50% owned joint ventures in Enel North America's hydroelectric portfolio. In December 2019, the entire portfolio had been classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5. The gain recogni- zed in profit or loss was €4 million;
in the first nine months of 2020, Enel SpA increased its

Determination of goodwill

interest in Enel Américas by 5.03% under the provisions of share swaps entered into with a financial institution. The Group's total stake is therefore now 65%;

Enel SpA increased its interest in Enel Chile by 2.89% un- der the provisions of two share swaps entered into with a financial institution. The Group's total stake is therefore now 64.93%.

Minor acquisitions

For other minor acquisitions, the Group will determine the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed within 12 months of the acquisition date.

5. COVID-19

In line with the recommendations of ESMA, contained in the public statements1 published in March, May and July 2020, and of CONSOB, contained in Warning Notices no. 6/20 of April 9, 2020 and no. 8/20 of July 16, 2020, the Group has carefully monitored the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic with regard to the main areas affecting it and in the main countries in which it operates, based on the scope of analysis reported in the "Events after the reporting period" section of the notes to the 2019 consolidated financial statements and in the section "COVID-19" in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2020.

The Interim Financial Report at September 30, 2020 provides an update of the disclosure on the COVID-19 pandemic, based on the specific circumstances of the Company and the availability of reliable information, in order to highlight the impacts on business activities, the financial position and the performance of the Group at that date, taking account of the main risks and uncertainties to which the Group is exposed discussed in the Half-Year Financial Report at 30 June 2020,

which readers are invited to consult for further information. With regard to the assessment of the impact of COVID-19, forecasts for the future evolution of the macroeconomic, financial and business environment in which the Group operates are characterized by a high degree of uncertainty, which could affect the valuations and estimates performed by management in determining the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities affected by greater volatility. At September 30, 2020, the areas of the financial statements that, based on the information available at that date and considering the constantly evolving scenario, are most affected by management estimates and judgments are the following:

measurement of non-financial assets: compared with June 30, 2020, there is no additional evidence the as- sets recognized in the balance sheet may have incurred a reduction in their value that would make it necessary to perform a new estimate of their recoverable value pur- suant to "IAS 36 - Impairment of assets". Accordingly, the carrying amounts of the CGU at September 30, 2020, are

ESMA 71-99-1290 of March 11 2020, ESMA 32-63-951 of March 25, 2020, ESMA 31-67-742 of March 27, 2020, ESMA 32-63-972 of May 20, 2020 and ESMA 32-61-417 of July 21, 2020.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2020

considered to be fully recoverable, having not incurred any impairment losses as a result of COVID-19;

measurement of financial assets: in some cases, in order to take account of the effects of COVID-19 on the im- pairment of trade receivables, specific adjustments were made with respect to the output of the impairment mo- del adopted by the Group based on "IFRS 9 - Financial instruments" ("post-model adjustments"). They were mainly determined on the basis of an expert credit judg- ment based on developments in the collection status of certain customer segments. These adjustments led to the recognition of certain writedowns, based on the informa- tion available. Please see note 7.b for more details on the impairment of financial assets at September 30, 2020;
employee benefits: as a result of the COVID-19 emergen- cy, a number of significant actuarial assumptions used to determine the present value of obligations for defined

benefits to employees pursuant to "IAS 19 - Employee benefits" were updated as at June 30, 2020. No further updates were necessary for the situation at September 30, 2020;

provisions for risks and charges: the assumptions under- lying the assessment of the possible presence of onerous contracts have been updated. This analysis did not identify any situations that made it necessary to recognize addi- tional provisions due to COVID-19, pursuant to "IAS 37 - Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets";
income taxes: where required, tax relief has been recogni- zed, while the timing of the cancellation of the temporary deductible differences and the recoverability of deferred tax assets has been monitored, pursuant to "IAS 12 - In- come taxes". There were no significant impacts for the Group.
