INTRODUCTION

As used in this Report on Form 20-F, first person personal pronouns such as “we,” “us” or “our” refer to Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. (Endesa Chile or the Company) and our consolidated subsidiaries unless the context indicates otherwise. Unless otherwise noted, our interest in our principal subsidiaries and jointly-controlled entities and associates is expressed in terms of our economic interest as of December 31, 2012.

We are a Chilean company engaged directly and through our subsidiaries and jointly-controlled entities in the electricity generation business in Chile, Colombia, Peru and Argentina. We also have unconsolidated equity investments in companies engaged primarily in the electricity generation, transmission and distribution business in Brazil. As of the date of this Report, our direct controlling entity, Enersis S.A. (Enersis), owns a 60.0% stake in our company. Endesa, S.A. (Endesa Spain), a Spanish electricity generation and distribution company, owns 60.6% of Enersis through Endesa Latinoamérica. Enel S.p.A. (Enel), an Italian generation and distribution company, owns 92.1% of Endesa Spain.

Financial Information

In this Report on Form 20-F, unless otherwise specified, references to “U.S. dollars,” “US$,” are to dollars of the United States of America; references to “pesos” or “Ch$” are to Chilean pesos, the legal currency of Chile; references to “Ar$” or “Argentine pesos” are to the legal currency of Argentina; references to “R$,” or “reais” are to Brazilian reais, the legal currency of Brazil; references to “soles” are to Peruvian Nuevo Sol, the legal currency of Peru; references to “CPs” or “Colombian pesos” are to the legal currency of Colombia; references to “€” or “Euros” are to the legal currency of the European Union; and references to “UF” are to Unidades de Fomento.

The Unidad de Fomento is a Chilean inflation-indexed, peso-denominated monetary unit that is adjusted daily to reflect changes in the official Consumer Price Index, or “CPI”, of the Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas (the Chilean National Institute of Statistics). The UF is adjusted in monthly cycles. Each day in the period beginning on the tenth day of the current month through the ninth day of the succeeding month, the nominal peso value of the UF is indexed in order to reflect a proportionate amount of the change in the Chilean CPI during the prior calendar month. As of December 31, 2012, one UF was equivalent to Ch$ 22,840.75. The U.S. dollar equivalent of one UF was US$ 47.59 as of December 31, 2012, using the Observed Exchange Rate reported by the Banco Central de Chile (the “Central Bank of Chile”) as of December 31, 2012 of Ch$ 479.96 per US$ 1.00. As of February 28, 2013, one UF was equivalent to Ch$ 22,838.48. The U.S. dollar equivalent of one UF was US$ 48.29 at February 28, 2013, using the observed Exchange Rate reported by the Central Bank of Chile as of such date of Ch$ 472.96 per US$ 1.00.

Our Consolidated Financial Statements and, unless otherwise indicated, other financial information concerning Endesa Chile included in this Report are presented in Chilean pesos. Until the year ended December 31, 2008, Endesa Chile prepared its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Chile (Chilean GAAP). Since January 1, 2009, Endesa Chile has prepared its financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB).

The subsidiaries are consolidated and all their assets, liabilities, income, expenses and cash flows are included in the consolidated financial statements after making the adjustments and eliminations related to intra-group transactions.

Jointly-controlled entities, which are those that do not have a controlling shareholder but are governed by a joint management agreement, are consolidated by the proportional consolidation method. Endesa Chile recognizes, line by line, its share of the assets, liabilities, income, expenses and cash flows of such entities, subject to accounting eliminations. Due to changes in IFRS as issued by the IASB, starting on January 1, 2013, jointly-controlled entities are no longer consolidated by the proportional consolidation method. Instead, jointly-controlled entities are recorded in our Consolidated Financial Statements under the equity method.

Investments in associates in which the Company has significant influence are recorded in our Consolidated Financial Statements under the equity method.

For detailed information regarding subsidiaries, jointly-controlled entities and associates see Appendix No.1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

For the convenience of the reader, this Report contains translations of certain Chilean peso amounts into U.S. dollars at specified rates. Unless otherwise indicated, the U.S. dollar equivalent for information in Chilean pesos is based on the Observed Exchange Rate as of December 31, 2012, as defined in “Item 3. Key Information—A. Selected Financial Data—Exchange Rates.” The Federal Reserve Bank of New York does not report a noon buying rate for Chilean pesos. No representation is made that the Chilean peso or U.S. dollar amounts shown in this Report could have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars or Chilean pesos, as the case may be, at such rate or at any other rate. See “Item 3. Key Information—A. Selected Financial Data—Exchange Rates.”

Technical Terms

References to “GW” and “GWh” are to gigawatt and gigawatt hours, respectively; references to “MW” and “MWh” are to megawatts and megawatt hours, respectively; references to “kW” and “kWh” are to kilowatts and kilowatt hours, respectively; references to “kV” are to kilovolts, and references to “MVA” are to megavolt amperes. Unless otherwise indicated, statistics provided in this Report with respect to the installed capacity of electricity generation facilities are expressed in MW. One TW = 1,000 GW, one GW = 1,000 MW, and one MW = 1,000 kW.

Statistics relating to aggregate annual electricity production are expressed in GWh and based on a year of 8,760 hours, except for leap years (such as 2012), which are based on 8,784 hours. Statistics relating to installed capacity and production of the electricity industry do not include electricity of self-generators. Statistics relating to our production do not include electricity consumed by us by our own generation units.

Energy losses experienced by generation companies during transmission are calculated by subtracting the number of GWh of energy sold from the number of GWh of energy generated (excluding its own energy consumption and losses on the part of the power plant), within a given period. Losses are expressed as a percentage of total energy generated.

Calculation of Economic Interest

References are made in this Report to the “economic interest” of Endesa Chile in its related companies. In circumstances where we do not directly own an interest in a related company, our economic interest in such ultimate related company is calculated by multiplying the percentage of economic interest in a directly held related company by the percentage of economic interest of any entity in the ownership chain of such related company. For example, if we own 60% of a directly held subsidiary and that subsidiary owns 40% of an associate, our economic interest in such associate would be 60% times 40%, or 24%.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Report contains statements that are or may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These statements appear throughout this Report and include statements regarding our intent, belief or current expectations, including, but not limited to, any statements concerning:

Exchange Rates

Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Chilean peso and the U.S. dollar will affect the U.S. dollar equivalent of the peso price of our shares of common stock, without par value (the Shares or the Common Stock), on the Bolsa de Comercio de Santiago (the “Santiago Stock Exchange”), the Bolsa Electrónica de Chile (the “Chilean Electronic Stock Exchange”) and the Bolsa de Corredores de Valparaíso (the “Valparaíso Stock Exchange”) (collectively, the “Chilean Stock Exchanges”). These exchange rate fluctuations will likely affect the price of our ADSs and the conversion of cash dividends relating to the Shares represented by ADSs from Chilean pesos to U.S. dollars. In addition, to the extent that significant financial liabilities of the Company are denominated in foreign currencies, exchange rate fluctuations may have a significant impact on earnings.

In Chile, there are two currency markets, the Formal Exchange Market (Mercado Cambiario Formal) and the Informal Exchange Market (Mercado Cambiario Informal). The Formal Exchange Market is comprised of banks and other entities authorized by the Central Bank of Chile. The Informal Exchange Market is comprised of entities that are not expressly authorized to operate in the Formal Exchange Market, such as certain foreign exchange houses and travel agencies, among others. The Central Bank of Chile has the authority to require that certain purchases and sales of foreign currencies be carried out on the Formal Exchange Market. Both the Formal and Informal Exchange Markets are driven by free market forces. Current regulations require that the Central Bank of Chile be informed of certain transactions and that they be effected through the Formal Exchange Market.

The U.S. dollar observed exchange rate (dólar observado) (the “Observed Exchange Rate”), which is reported by the Central Bank of Chile and published daily on its web page, is the weighted average exchange rate of the previous business day’s transactions in the Formal Exchange Market. Nevertheless, the Central Bank of Chile may intervene by buying or selling foreign currency on the Formal Exchange Market to attempt to maintain the Observed Exchange Rate within a desired range.

The Informal Exchange Market reflects transactions carried out at an informal exchange rate (the “Informal Exchange Rate”). There are no limits imposed on the extent to which the rate of exchange in the Informal Exchange Market can fluctuate above or below the Observed Exchange Rate. Foreign currency for payments and distributions with respect to the ADSs may be purchased either in the Formal or the Informal Exchange Market, but such payments and distributions must be remitted through the Formal Exchange Market.

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York does not report a noon buying rate for Chilean pesos. As of December 31, 2012, the U.S. dollar exchange rate used by us was Ch$ 479.96 per US$ 1.00.

As of March 19, 2013, the U.S. dollar exchange rate was Ch$ 472.34 per US$ 1.00.

Calculation of the appreciation or devaluation of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar in any given period is made by determining the percent change between the reciprocals of the Chilean peso equivalent of US$ 1.00 at the end of the preceding period and the end of the period for which the calculation is being made. For example, to calculate the appreciation of the year-end Chilean peso in 2012, one determines the percent change between the reciprocal of Ch$ 519.2 (the value of one U.S. dollar as of December 31, 2011) and the reciprocal of Ch$ 479.96 (the value of one U.S. dollar as of December 31, 2012). In this example, the percentage change between 0.001926 (the reciprocal of Ch$ 519.20) and 0.002084 (the reciprocal of Ch$ 479.96) is 8.2%, which represents the 2012 year-end appreciation of the Chilean peso against the 2011 year-end U.S. dollar. A positive percentage change means that the Chilean peso appreciated against the U.S. dollar, while a negative percentage change means that the Chilean peso devaluated against the U.S. dollar.

The following table sets forth the period-end rates for U.S. dollars for the years ended December 31, 2008 through December 31, 2012 and through the date indicated in the table below, based on information published by the Central Bank of Chile.

D. Risk Factors.

A financial crisis in any region worldwide can have a significant impact in the countries in which we operate, and consequently, may adversely affect our operations, as well as our liquidity.

The five countries in which we operate are vulnerable to external shocks, which could cause significant economic difficulties and affect their growth. If any of these economies experience lower than expected economic growth or a recession, it is likely that our customers will demand less electricity, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, some of our customers may experience difficulties in paying their electricity bills, and an increase in uncollectible accounts would also adversely affect our results.

In addition, a financial crisis and its disruptive effect on the financial industry can have an adverse impact on our ability to obtain new bank loans under normal terms and conditions. Our ability to tap the capital markets in the five countries where we operate, as well as the international capital markets for other sources of liquidity, may also be diminished, or such financing may be available only at higher interest levels. Reduced liquidity could, in turn, affect our capital expenditures, our long-term investments and acquisitions, our growth prospects, and our dividend payout policy.

A financial crisis in the Euro Area or a European sovereign debt crisis may have an adverse effect on our liquidity.

Global economic growth decreased 0.4% in the Euro area in 2012 and is now expected to contract by 0.2% in 2013. The Euro area continues to represent a large downside risk for the world economy. The risk of prolonged stagnation in the Euro area may increase. Among the countries that are particularly at risk are Spain and Italy, home of our parent companies, Endesa Spain and Enel, respectively.

We carry out a significant portion of our bank financings and derivative hedges with European banks. Our European counterparty risk takes into account loans and derivatives accounted for either in the parent bank entities headquartered in Europe or in any of their subsidiaries or agencies outside Europe. In general terms, European banks who act through their foreign subsidiaries, agencies and representative offices also take an aggregated group risk to counterparty exposure, both theirs and ours. If any of the European banks with which we have significant relationships were to encounter severe financial difficulties, our access to bank loans would be significantly curtailed, and would probably lead to an increase in our interest expense.

As of December 31, 2012, US$ 404 million of our outstanding bank debt and US$ 553 million of the notional amount of our derivative hedges are with bank groups whose parent companies are headquartered in Europe. The derivative hedges deal with both currency swaps and interest rates swaps, though the most significant component is the currency hedge for the U.S. dollar against the inflation-indexed Chilean peso (the UF). As of December 31, 2012, although these derivative hedges had a mark to market value of US$ 40 million in our favor, there is always the possibility that the position will be negative in the future. Of the amounts mentioned above, 93% of our bank debt and 91% of the notional amount of our derivatives have been contracted with Spanish banks. A severe financial disruption affecting these Spanish banks could therefore have an adverse effect on us. (See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects.      B. Liquidity & Capital Resources” and “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk”).

South American economic fluctuations are likely to affect our results from operations and financial condition, as well as the value of our securities.

All of our operations are located in five South American countries. Accordingly, our consolidated revenues are sensitive to the performance of South American economies as a whole. If local, regional or worldwide economic trends adversely affect the economy of any of the five countries in which we have investments or operations, our financial condition and results from operations could be adversely affected. Moreover, we have investments in relatively risky countries such as Argentina. Cash from subsidiaries located in Argentina have been lower than expected and in some cases have not been sufficient to permit our Argentine subsidiaries to comply with their obligations.

A substantial portion of our assets and operations are located in Chile, making our financial condition and results of operations particularly dependent on the performance of Chile. In 2012, Chilean GDP increased by 5.6% compared to a 6.0% increase in 2011. The latest estimate from the Central Bank of Chile forecasts growth for 2013 is in the 4.25%-5.25% range. However, such growth may not be achieved and the growth trend may not be sustainable in the future. Future developments in the Chilean economy may impair our ability to proceed with our strategic plans and adversely impact our financial condition or results of operations.

In addition, the South American financial and securities markets are, to varying degrees, influenced by economic and market conditions in other countries. Although economic conditions are different in each country, investor reaction to developments in one country may have a significant contagion effect on the securities of issuers in other countries, including Chile. Chilean financial and securities markets may be adversely affected by events in other countries and such effects may affect the value of our securities.

Certain South American economies have been characterized by frequent and occasionally drastic intervention by governmental authorities, which may adversely affect our business and financial results.

Governmental authorities have changed monetary, credit, tariff, tax and other policies to influence the course of the economies of Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Peru. To a lesser extent, the Chilean government has also exercised and continues to exercise a substantial influence over many aspects of the private sector, which may result in changes to economic or other policies. These governmental actions, intended to control inflation and affect other policies, have often involved wage, price and tariff rate controls as well as other interventionist measures. For example, Argentina froze bank accounts and imposed capital restrictions in 2001, nationalized the private sector pension funds in 2008, and used Central Bank reserves of the Argentine Treasury in order to pay down indebtedness maturing in 2010. In 2010, Colombia imposed an equity tax to finance reconstruction to repair damages caused by severe flooding, which resulted in an accrual booked in January 2011 for taxes payable in 2011-2014. For additional information please see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — A. Operating Results — 2. Country by Country Comparative Analysis of Operating and Non-Operating Results for 2012 and 2011 — Selling and Administrative Expenses”).

Changes in the policies of these governmental authorities with respect to tariff rates, exchange controls, regulations and taxation could adversely affect our business and financial results, reducing our profitability, as could inflation, devaluation, social instability and other political, economic or diplomatic developments, including the response by governments in the region to these circumstances.

Our electricity business is subject to risks arising from natural disasters, catastrophic accidents and acts of terrorism, which could adversely affect our operations, earnings and cash flow.

Our primary facilities include power plants and their associated transmission lines, pipelines, LNG terminals and re-gasification plants, storage and chartered LNG tankers. Our facilities may be damaged by earthquakes, flooding, fires, other catastrophic disasters arising from natural or accidental human causes, as well as acts of terrorism. We could experience severe business disruptions, significant decreases in revenues based on lower demand arising from catastrophic events, or significant additional costs to us not otherwise covered by business interruption insurance clauses. There may be an important time lag between a major accident or catastrophic event and the final reimbursement from our insurance policies, which typically carry non-recoverable deductible amounts, and in any event are subject to caps per event. For further detail, please see “Item 4. Information on the Company— D. Property, Plants and Equipment.”

As an example, on February 27, 2010, Chile experienced a major earthquake, with a magnitude of 8.8 on the Richter scale, in the Bío-Bío Region, followed by a very destructive tsunami. Our Bocamina and Bocamina II thermal generation units, which are located near the epicenter, sustained significant damage as a result of the earthquake.

We are subject to financing risks, such as those associated with funding our new projects and capital expenditures, risks related to refinancing our maturing debt, and we are also subject to debt covenant compliance, all of which could adversely affect our liquidity.

As of December 31, 2012, our financial debt totaled US$ 4,039 million.

Our debt had the following maturity timetable:

 

   

US$    861 million in 2013;

   

US$    801 million in the 2014-2015 period;

   

US$    406 million in the 2016-2017 period; and

   

US$ 1,972 million thereafter.

Set forth below is a breakdown by country for debt maturing in 2013:

 

   

US$ 473 million — Chile;

   

US$ 269 million — Argentina;

   

US$   62 million — Colombia; and

   

US$   57 million — Peru.

Some of our debt agreements are subject to financial covenants. They also contain affirmative and negative covenants, events of default or mandatory prepayments for contractual breaches, including certain changes of control, and for material mergers and divestments, among other provisions. A significant portion of our financial indebtedness is subject to cross default provisions, with different definitions, criteria, materiality thresholds, and applicability as to the subsidiaries that could give rise to such a cross default.

In the event that we or our subsidiaries breach any of these material contractual provisions, our creditors and bond holders may demand immediate repayment, and a significant portion of our indebtedness could become due and payable.

We may be unable to refinance our indebtedness or obtain such refinancing on terms acceptable to us. In the absence of such refinancing, we could be forced to dispose of assets in order to make up for any shortfall in the payments due on our indebtedness under circumstances that might not be favorable to obtaining the best price for such assets. Furthermore, assets may not be sold quickly enough, or for amounts sufficient, to enable us to make such payments.

We may also be unable to raise funds required to finish our projects under development or under construction. Market conditions prevailing at the moment we require these funds or other unforeseen project costs can compromise our ability to finance these projects and expenditures.

As of the date of this Report, Argentina continues to be the country with the highest refinancing risk. As of December 31, 2012, the third-party financial debt of our Argentine subsidiaries amounted to US$ 312 million. As a matter of policy for all of our Argentine subsidiaries as long as fundamental issues concerning the electricity sector remain unresolved, we intend to roll over our outstanding Argentine debt to the extent we are able to do so. If our creditors do not continue to accept rolling over debt when it becomes due, and we are unable to refinance such obligations, we may default on such indebtedness.

Our Argentine subsidiary, Endesa Costanera, did not make an installment payment due on March 30, 2012 of US$ 17.6 million (which included US$ 4.3 million in interest expense) and another installment payment due on September 30, 2012 of US$ 17 million (which included US$ 4.5 million in interest expense) under the terms of a supplier credit agreement with Mitsubishi Corporation (“MC”) originally entered into in 1996. In addition, Endesa Costanera will not be able to pay the installment payment which matures on March 31, 2013 of US$ 15.4 million (which includes US$ 4.2 million in interest expense). The aggregate principal amount accrued under the supplier credit agreement as of December 31, 2012, including capitalized interest, was US$ 141 million. Endesa Costanera has experienced difficulties in making timely payments under its agreement with MC on a recurring basis since the Argentine crisis of 2002, but had in the past received waivers from MC expressing its willingness to renegotiate payments. The relevant terms of the supplier credit provide for a 180-day grace period for each payment, and the first grace period expired on September 26, 2012. As of the date of this Report, Endesa Costanera has not received any waivers for the payments past due. To declare the indebtedness due and payable, MC must formally accelerate the debt with ten days prior notice. If MC chooses to do so, the amount payable would be the full principal of US$ 141 million. As of the date of this Report, we have not received any acceleration notice and negotiations to restructure the indebtedness are on-going. As of December 31, 2012, Endesa Costanera had a negative net worth and a deficit in its working capital, in both cases attributable to its inability to obtain tariff adjustments that truly reflect real generation costs. Defaults and cross defaults at the Endesa Costanera level do not trigger cross default provisions under indebtedness of Endesa Chile or any of our Chilean subsidiaries. (See Note 31.5 a) to our Consolidated Financial Statements).

With the exception of our Argentine subsidiaries, our companies have access to existing credit lines sufficient to satisfy all of their present working capital needs. Access to the capital markets on the part of our Argentine subsidiaries has been very limited due to the difficult financial situation still prevailing in Argentina (particularly in the utilities sector), the poor capital markets environment due to the shortage of off-shore financing, the nationalization of the pension fund system and, in general, higher risk associated with lending to Argentine utilities as a consequence of the regulatory framework. (See “Item 4. Information on the Company— B. Business Overview. Electricity Industry Regulatory Framework. Argentina. Regulatory Developments: the industry after the Public Emergency Law” and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects - B. Liquidity and Capital Resources.”) For more information on covenants, cross default and relevant provisions of our credit facilities, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — B. Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

We may not be able to effect suitable investments, alliances and acquisitions.

On an ongoing basis, we review acquisition prospects that would augment our market coverage or complement our existing businesses. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to identify and consummate suitable acquisition transactions in the future. The acquisition and integration of independent companies or companies that we do not control is generally a complex, costly and time-consuming process and requires significant efforts and expenditures. If we consummate an acquisition, it could result in the incurrence of substantial debt and assumption of unknown liabilities, the potential loss of key employees from the acquired company, amortization expenses related to tangible assets and the diversion of our management’s attention from other business concerns. In addition, any delays or difficulties encountered in connection with acquisitions and the integration of multiple operations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Since our generation business depends heavily on hydrological conditions, drought conditions may hurt our profitability.

Approximately 56% of our consolidated installed generation capacity in 2012 was hydroelectric. Accordingly, extreme hydrological conditions may affect our business and may have an adverse effect on our results. In the last few years, regional hydrology has been affected by two climactic phenomena — El Niño and La Niña — that influence rainfall regularity and may lead to droughts. The effects of El Niño or La Niña can unevenly affect the hydrology of the countries where we operate.

During periods of drought, thermal plants, such as ours that use natural gas, fuel oil or coal as a fuel, are dispatched more frequently. Operating costs of thermal plants might be considerably higher than those of hydroelectric plants. Our operating expenses increase during these periods, and depending on our commercial obligations, we may have to buy electricity from the spot market in order to comply with our contractual supply obligations. The cost of these electricity purchases may exceed the price at which we sell contracted electricity, thus producing losses from those contracts. For further information on hydrology please refer to “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — A. Operating Results — 1. Discussion of Main Factors Affecting Operating Results and Financial Condition of the Company — a. Hydrological Conditions.”

If British Gas fails to make any of the natural gas deliveries it is obliged to make to us, we may incur replacement costs that we may not be able to recoup.

In order to mitigate exposure to variations in fuel prices, certain of our subsidiaries have entered into fuel supply contracts to provide part of the fuel needed to operate their thermal generation facilities. As a part of this initiative, Endesa Chile, through a subsidiary, entered into a Flexible Liquefied Natural Gas (“LNG”) Sale and Purchase Agreement with a subsidiary of British Gas (“BG”) on May 31, 2007, pursuant to which BG is obligated to provide 2.2 million m3 of LNG per day until 2030. Endesa Chile changed its supply arrangements, as permitted under the contract, effective January 1, 2013, which resulted in a significant reduction in the price of LNG that BG is obligated to deliver under the contract because the reference price changed from the Brent index to the Henry Hub index. BG urged Endesa Chile to renegotiate the price and proposed a material increase in the price of LNG post-January 1, 2013, but the contract does not provide for contractual renegotiation under these circumstances. Despite negotiations between Endesa Chile and BG to resolve the issue, the parties were unable to reach an agreement and BG notified Endesa Chile that some shipments of LNG (up to 50% of the contract quantity) in 2013, including the shipment of LNG scheduled for April 1, 2013, would not be delivered.

Most of Endesa Chile’s LNG consumption is covered by the BG contract. If BG fails to deliver LNG, Endesa Chile will incur extra costs in fuel purchases on the spot market in order to comply with its generation facilities’ requirements. Endesa Chile would also be forced to initiate arbitration proceedings under the contract to compel BG to satisfy its indemnification obligations so that Endesa Chile may recover the additional costs incurred in replacing the undelivered LNG shipments by BG.

Governmental regulations may adversely affect our business and have already done so in Argentina.

We are subject to extensive regulation of tariffs and other aspects of our business in the countries in which we operate, and these regulations may adversely affect our profitability. For example, the Chilean government can impose electricity rationing during drought conditions or prolonged failures in power facilities. If, during rationing, we are unable to generate enough electricity to comply with our contractual obligations, we may be forced to buy electricity in the pool market at the spot price, since even a severe drought does not constitute a force majeure event. The spot price may be significantly higher than our costs to generate the electricity and can be as high as the “cost of failure” set by the National Energy Commission, or the CNE. This “cost of failure,” which is updated semiannually by the CNE, is a measurement of how much final users would pay for one extra MWh under rationing conditions. If we are unable to buy enough electricity in the pool market to comply with all of our contractual obligations, then we would have to compensate our regulated customers for the electricity we failed to provide at the rationed price. If material rationing policies are imposed by regulatory authorities in any of the countries in which we operate, our business, financial condition and results from operations may be affected adversely in a material way. Rationing periods may occur in the future, and consequently our generation subsidiaries may be required to pay regulatory penalties if such subsidiaries fail to provide adequate service under such conditions.

The regulatory framework, set by governmental authorities, for the electricity sector in a jurisdiction may affect the ability of our generation companies (such as Endesa Costanera) to collect revenues sufficient to offset our costs. (See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — B. Liquidity and Capital Resources”).

The inability of any company in our consolidated group of companies to collect revenues sufficient to cover operating costs may affect the ability of the affected company to operate as a going concern and may otherwise have an adverse effect on our business, assets, financial results and operations. Such situation occurred in Endesa Costanera in 2012 and 2011.

Table of Contents

In addition, changes in the regulatory framework, including changes that if adopted would significantly affect our operations, are often submitted to the legislators and administrative authorities in the countries in which we operate and, if approved, could have a material adverse impact on our business. For instance, in 2005 there was a change in the water rights’ law in Chile that requires us to pay for unused water rights. (See “Item 4. Information on the Company — B. Business Overview— Electricity Industry Regulatory Framework — Chile — Water Rights”).

Regulatory authorities may impose fines on our subsidiaries.

Our electricity businesses may be subject to regulatory fines for any breach of current regulations, including energy supply failure, in the five countries in which we operate. In Chile, such fines may range from 1 Unidad Tributaria Mensual (UTM), or US$ 84, to 10,000 Unidades Tributarias Anuales (UTA), or US$ 10.1 million, in each case using the UTM, UTA and foreign exchange rate as of December 31, 2012. In Peru, fines can reach a maximum of 1,400 Unidad Impositiva Tributaria (UIT) or US$ 2.0 million as of December 31, 2012; in Colombia fines may range from US$ 2,900 to US$ 0.6 million; in Argentina, there is no maximum limit for the fines and in Brazil fines may be imposed for up to 2.0% of the concessionaire’s revenues.

Our electricity generation subsidiaries, supervised by their local regulatory entities, may be subject to these fines in cases where, in the opinion of the regulatory entity, operational failures that affect the regular energy supply to the system are the fault of the company; for instance, when the agents are not coordinated with the system operation. Also, our subsidiaries may be required to pay fines or to compensate customers if those subsidiaries are unable to deliver electricity to them even if such failure is due to forces outside of our control.

For example, in September 2011 SEF imposed fines totaling 2,382 UTA or US$ 2.1 million, on Endesa Chile and Pehuenche due to a blackout that occurred in the Metropolitan Region in March 2010. In the case of our foreign subsidiaries, in 2006 in Peru the Comité de Operación Económica del Sistema (Peruvian Economic Operating Committee of the Interconnected System), or COES, ordered Edegel to pay approximately US$ 1.3 million to other generating companies that were forced to compensate their clients due to an alleged failure of Edegel to comply with certain quality parameters. For further information on fines please refer to “Item 4. Information on the Company — B. Business Overview.— Electricity Industry Regulatory Framework.”

We depend in part on payments from our subsidiaries, jointly-controlled entities and associates to meet our payment obligations.

In order to pay our obligations we rely partly on cash from dividends, loans, interest payments, capital reductions and other distributions from our subsidiaries and equity affiliates. The ability of our subsidiaries and equity affiliates to pay dividends, interest payments, loans and other distributions to us is subject to legal constraints such as dividend restrictions, fiduciary duties, contractual limitations and foreign exchange controls that may be imposed in any of the five countries where they operate.

Historically, we have been able to access the cash flows of our Chilean subsidiaries, but we have not been similarly able to access at all times the cash flows of our non-Chilean operating subsidiaries due to government regulations, strategic considerations, economic conditions and credit restrictions.

Our future results from operations outside Chile may continue to be subject to greater economic and political uncertainties than what we have experienced in Chile, thereby reducing the likelihood that we will be able to rely on cash flows from operations in those entities to repay our debt.

Dividend Limits and Other Legal Restrictions. Some of our non-Chilean subsidiaries are subject to legal reserve requirements and other restrictions on dividend payments. Also, other legal restrictions, such as foreign currency controls, may limit the ability of our non-Chilean subsidiaries and equity affiliates to pay dividends and make loan payments or other distributions to us. In addition, the ability of any of our subsidiaries which are not wholly-owned to distribute cash to us may be limited by the fiduciary duties of the directors of such subsidiaries to their minority shareholders. Furthermore, some of our subsidiaries may be forced by local authorities, according to applicable regulation, to diminish or eliminate dividend payments. As a consequence of such restrictions, our subsidiaries could, under certain circumstances, be prevented from distributing cash to us.

Contractual Constraints. Distribution restrictions included in some credit agreements of our subsidiaries Endesa Costanera and El Chocón may prevent dividend distributions and other distributions to shareholders if they are not in compliance with certain financial ratios. Generally, companies are not allowed to make any kind of distribution in case of default on credit agreements.

Operating Results of Our Subsidiaries. The ability of our subsidiaries and equity affiliates to pay dividends or make loan payments or other distributions to us is limited by their operating results. To the extent that the cash requirements at any of our subsidiaries exceed available cash, such subsidiary will not be able to make cash available to us. For further discussion see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — B. Liquidity and Capital Resources” and Note 22.4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Foreign exchange risks may adversely affect our results, and the U.S. dollar value of dividends payable to ADS holders.

Most South American currencies in which we and our subsidiaries operate have been subject to large devaluations and appreciations against the U.S. dollar and may be subject to significant fluctuations in the future.

Historically, a significant portion of our consolidated indebtedness has been denominated in U.S. dollars and, while a substantial portion of our operating cash flows are linked to U.S. dollars, we generally have been and will continue to be materially exposed to fluctuations of our local currencies against the U.S. dollar because of time lags and other limitations to peg our tariffs to the U.S. dollar.

Because of this exposure, the cash generated by our subsidiaries can decrease substantially when local currencies devalue against the U.S. dollar. Future volatility in the exchange rate of the currencies in which we receive revenues or incur expenditures may affect our financial condition and results from operations. For more information on the risks associated with foreign exchange rates, see “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”

As of December 31, 2012, the amount of Endesa Chile’s total consolidated financial debt was US$ 4,039 million (net of currency hedging instruments). Of this amount, US$ 1,667 million, or 41%, was denominated in U.S. dollars and US$ 646 million in Chilean pesos. In addition to the U.S. dollar and the Chilean peso, our foreign currency denominated consolidated indebtedness included the equivalent of:

 

   

  US$ 1,541 million in Colombian pesos;

   

  US$      96 million in Argentine pesos; and

   

  US$      89 million in soles.

This totals an aggregate of US$ 1,726 million in currencies other than U.S. dollars or Chilean pesos. For more information on the risks associated with foreign exchange rates, see “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”

For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2012, our operating cash flows were US$ 1,124 million (before consolidation adjustments) of which:

 

   

  US$ 595 million, or 53%, was generated in Colombia;

   

  US$ 289 million, or 26%, in Chile;

   

  US$ 178 million, or 16%, in Peru; and

   

  US$   62 million, or 6%, in Argentina

Although we generate revenues and incur debt in these same currencies, we believe that we are subject to risk in terms of our foreign exchange exposure to these four currencies. The most material case is that of Argentina, where most of our debt is denominated in U.S. dollars while our revenues are mostly in Argentine pesos. For further discussion please see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — A. Operating Results — Local Currency Exchange Rate.”

We are involved in litigation proceedings.

We are currently involved in various litigation proceedings, which could result in unfavorable decisions or financial penalties against us, and we will continue to be subject to future litigation proceedings, which could have material adverse consequences to our business.

Our financial condition or results from operations could be adversely affected if certain material claims are resolved against us. For a discussion of pending lawsuits against us see Note 31.3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

The values of our subsidiaries’ long-term energy supply contracts are subject to fluctuations in the market prices of certain commodities.

We have economic exposure to fluctuations in the market prices of certain commodities as a result of the long-term energy sales contracts we have entered into. We and our subsidiaries have material obligations as selling parties under long-term fixed-price electricity sales contracts. Prices in these contracts are indexed according to different commodities, exchange rate, inflation and the market price of electricity. For further discussion, please refer to “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — F. Tabular Disclosures of Contractual Obligations — Contractual Operational Obligations” and “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk — Commodity Price Risk.”

Our controlling shareholders may have conflicts of interest relating to our business.

Enel owns 92.1% of Endesa Spain, which in turn owns 60.6% of Enersis’ share capital, and Enersis beneficially owns 60.0% of Endesa Chile’s outstanding capital stock. Our controlling shareholders have the power to determine the outcome of most material matters that require shareholders’ votes, such as the election of the majority of our board members and, subject to contractual and legal restrictions, the distribution of dividends. Our controlling shareholders also can exercise influence over our business strategy and operations. Their interests may in some cases differ from those of our other shareholders and independent directors. Enel and Endesa Spain conduct their business in South America through us as well as through entities in which we do not have an equity interest. For further information of our controlling shareholders, please refer to “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions — A. Major Shareholders.”

Environmental regulations in the countries in which we operate and other factors may cause delays or impede the development of new projects, as well as may increase the costs of operations and capital expenditures.

Our operating subsidiaries are subject to environmental regulations which, among other things, require us to perform environmental impact studies for future projects and obtain permits from both local and national regulators. Approval of these environmental impact studies may take longer than originally planned, and also, may be withheld by governmental authorities. Local communities, ethnic and environmental activists, among others, may intervene during the approval process in order to delay or prevent the project’s development. They may also seek injunctive or other relief, with negative implications for us if they should succeed with their claims. For example, our HidroAysén project in Chile was submitted for approval by the environmental authorities on February 27, 2009, and received approval more than two years later, on May 9, 2011. Environmental approval for the transmission side of the project is still pending as of the date of this Report. This project is not feasible without such transmission authorization.

Environmental regulations for existing generation capacity may become stricter, thus increasing capital investments. For example, in January 2011, Decree 13 of the Ministry of the Environment in Chile defined emission standards for thermoelectric plants to be met within a term of two and a half years to five years.

In addition to environmental matters, there are other factors that may adversely affect our ability to build new facilities or to complete projects currently under development on time, including delays in obtaining regulatory approvals, shortages or increases in the price of equipment, materials or labor, strikes, adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, accidents or other unforeseen events.

Delays or modifications to any proposed project and laws or regulations may change or be interpreted in a manner that could adversely affect our operations or our plans for companies in which we hold investments. See “Item 4. Information on the Company — B. Business Overview — Electricity Industry Regulatory Framework.”

Our business may be adversely affected by judicial decisions on environmental qualification resolutions for electricity projects in Chile.

The environmental qualification resolutions term for electricity generation and transmission projects in Chile has more than doubled primarily due to the judicial decisions against such projects, environmental opposition and social criticism, which casts doubt on the ability of these projects to obtain such resolutions and increase the uncertainty for investing in such projects in Chile. Such uncertainty is forcing companies to reassess their business strategies as the delay in the construction of electricity generation and transmission projects may result in a supplying problem in the next five or six years.

In August 2012, a judicial decision of the Supreme Court of Chile conclusively precluded the construction of the Castilla thermoelectric power plant (unrelated to Endesa Chile) in the Atacama region by unanimously ruling in favor of the appeal submitted by the local communities opposing the project. The Court also revoked the environmental qualification resolutions for both the thermoelectric power plant and the port involved in the project. In addition, the Court indicated that the developer must submit a single environmental impact study for both the power plant and the port.

The Supreme Court of Chile repealed and overturned the environmental qualification resolutions because it did not adequately meet the requirements. This judgment not only affects the Castilla power plant project but also affects other complex projects involving more than one activity, such as mining projects that require construction of ports or, if taken to the extreme, power generation projects that require the construction of associated transmission lines.

Our power plant projects may encounter significant opposition from groups who may ultimately damage our reputation and could result in impairment of goodwill.

Table of Contents

Our reputation is the foundation of our relationship with key stakeholders and other constituencies. If we are unable to effectively manage real or perceived issues, which could negatively impact sentiments toward us, our ability to operate could be impaired and our financial results could suffer.

The development of new power plants may face opposition from several stakeholders, such as ethnic groups, environmental groups, local communities and political parties, among others, all of whom may affect the company’s reputation and goodwill. For example, our HidroAysén project, whose study is being undertaken jointly together with Colbún, has encountered substantial opposition by environmental activists. Such groups are sometimes financed internationally, and may receive global attention. Likewise, settlers and fishermen have halted the construction of our Bocamina II coal–fired thermal power plant, thus postponing the project timetable. Similarly, El Quimbo hydroelectric project in Colombia has faced constant social demands which have delayed the project construction and increased its costs. The operation of our current thermal power plants may also affect our goodwill, due to emissions such as particulate matter, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, which could adversely affect the environment.

Damage to our reputation may exert considerable pressure on regulators, creditors, and other stakeholders, and ultimately lead to projects and operations which may not be optimal, as well as to lower stock prices, and failure to attract or retain valuable employees, all of which could result in an impairment of goodwill. For more information regarding our projects under development please see “Item 4. Information on the Company— D. Property, Plants and Equipment — Projects under Development.”

Our business may experience adverse consequences if we are unable to reach satisfactory collective bargaining agreements with our unionized employees.

Many of our employees are members of unions and have collective bargaining agreements which expire from time to time, and need to be renewed on a regular basis. Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected by a failure to reach agreement with any labor union representing such employees, or by an agreement with a labor union that contains terms that are not in line with our expectations.

Certain employees have highly specialized skills. As a consequence, certain actions by these employees, such as strikes, walk-outs or stoppages, could negatively impact our operating and financial performance, as well as our reputation. For more information on collective bargaining agreements and unionized employees please see “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees — D. Employees.”

Interruption or failure of our information technology and communications systems and external attacks or invasions of these systems could have an adverse effect on our operations and results.

We depend on information technology, communication and processing systems (collectively, “IT systems”) to operate our businesses, the failure of which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

IT systems are all vital to our generation subsidiaries’ ability to monitor our power plants’ operations, maintain generation and network performance, adequately generate invoices to customers, achieve operating efficiencies and meet our service targets and standards. Our distribution subsidiaries could also be affected adversely since they rely heavily on IT systems to monitor their grids, billing processes to millions of clients, and customer service platforms, among others. Temporary or long-lasting operational failures of any of these IT systems could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

In the last few years, global cyber attacks on security systems and IT systems have intensified. We are exposed to cyber-terrorist attacks aimed at damaging our assets through computer networks, cyber-spying involving strategic information that may be beneficial for third parties, and cyber-robbery of proprietary and confidential information, including information on our clients. In early 2012, a cyber attack was organized by Anonymous Operation Green Rights to protest against our potential future construction of hydroelectric power plants in the Chilean Patagonia. More significant cyber attacks may have an adverse effect on our operations, results and image.

We rely on electricity transmission facilities that we do not own or control. If these facilities do not provide us with an adequate transmission service, we may not be able to deliver the power we sell to our final customers.

We depend on transmission facilities owned and operated by other unaffiliated power companies to deliver the electricity we sell. This dependence exposes us to several risks. If transmission is disrupted, or transmission capacity is inadequate, we may be unable to sell and deliver our electricity. If a region’s power transmission infrastructure is inadequate, our recovery of sales costs and profits may be insufficient. If restrictive transmission price regulation is imposed, transmission companies upon whom we rely may not have sufficient incentives to invest in expansion of their transmission infrastructure, which could adversely affect our operations and financial results. On February 27, 2010, due to the 8.8 magnitude earthquake on the Richter scale in Chile, Transelec, a transmission company unrelated to us, experienced damages to its high voltage transmission line which prevented us from selling and distributing our electricity to final consumers.

Table of Contents

On September 24, 2011, nearly 10 million people located in central Chile experienced a blackout (affecting more than half of Chile’s 17 million inhabitants), due to the failure of Transelec’s 220 kV Ancoa substation, which led to the disruption of two 500 kV transmission lines in the SIC (the Chilean Central Interconnected System), and the subsequent failure of the remote recovery computer software used by CDEC to operate the grid. This blackout, which lasted for two hours, highlighted the fragility of the transmission grid and demonstrated the need to increase investments in network expansion in order to make technological improvements that enhance the reliability of the transmission grid.

The relative illiquidity and volatility of Chilean securities markets could adversely affect the price of our common stock and ADS.

Chilean securities markets are substantially smaller and less liquid than the major securities markets in the United States. In addition, Chilean securities markets may be affected materially by developments in other emerging markets. The low liquidity of the Chilean market may impair the ability of holders of ADS to sell shares of our common stock withdrawn from the ADS program into the Chilean market in the amount and at the price and time they wish to do so. For further discussion, please see “Item 9. The Offer and Listing — A. Offer and Listing Details — Market Price and Volume Information.”

Lawsuits against us brought outside of the South American countries in which we operate, or complaints against us based on foreign legal concepts may be unsuccessful.

All of our assets are located outside of the United States. All except one of our directors and all of our officers reside outside of the United States and most of their assets are located outside the United States as well. If any shareholder were to bring a lawsuit against our directors, officers or experts in the United States, it may be difficult for them to effect service of legal process within the United States upon these persons or to enforce against them, in United States or Chilean courts, judgments obtained in United States courts based upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States. In addition, there is doubt as to whether an action could be brought successfully in Chile on the basis of liability based solely upon the civil liability provisions of the United States federal securities laws.

Item 4.    Information on the Company

 

A. History and Development of the Company.

Incorporation and Contact Information of the Company

Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. (Endesa Chile) is a publicly held limited liability stock corporation incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Chile on December 1, 1943. Since 1943, the Company has been registered in Santiago with the SVS under Registration No. 0114. The Company is commercially referred to as both Endesa and Endesa Chile.

Telephone:    1(302) 738-6680

We are an electricity utility company engaged, directly and through our subsidiaries and affiliates, in the generation and transmission of electricity businesses in Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Peru. In May 1992, we began our international expansion program with the following developments:

 

   

We acquired a stake in Endesa Costanera in 1992 and later, in August 1993, we acquired a controlling equity interest in El Chocón, both in Argentina. As of December 31, 2012, our equity interest in El Chocón is 65.4% and in Endesa Costanera 69.8%.

 

22


Table of Contents
   

We acquired Edegel in Peru in October 1995. In June 2006, Edegel and Etevensa merged, after which Endesa Chile’s equity interest in Edegel increased to 33.1%. In October 2009, we purchased an additional 29.4% of Edegel from Generalima, a Peruvian indirect subsidiary of Endesa Spain. With this transaction, we increased our economic interest in Edegel to 62.5%.

 

   

We acquired Betania and Emgesa, both in Colombia, in December 1996 and in October 1997, respectively. In September 2007, these subsidiaries were merged into Betania, which then adopted the name of “Emgesa S.A. E.S.P.” As of December 2011, Endesa Chile’s equity interest in Emgesa was 26.9%. Due to a transfer of rights from another subsidiary of Endesa Spain, Endesa Chile controls and therefore consolidates Emgesa.

 

   

We acquired Cachoeira Dourada in Brazil in September 1997, and in 1998 we and Endesa Spain invested in CIEN, which operates an international transmission line connecting Brazil and Argentina. Since October 2005, Cachoeira Dourada and CIEN have been subsidiaries of our affiliate, Endesa Brasil, which we account for based on the equity method.

Since June 2009, Enel is the ultimate controller of Enersis by virtue of its 92.1% equity interest in Endesa Spain. Endesa Spain through Endesa Latinoamérica, holds 60.6% of the share capital of Enersis, which in turn holds 60% of the share capital of Endesa Chile.

Enel is a publicly-traded company headquartered in Italy, primarily engaged in the energy sector, with a presence in 40 countries worldwide, and over 97,000 MW of net installed capacity. It provides service to more than 61 million customers through its electricity and gas businesses.

As of December 31, 2012, we had 14,185 MW of installed capacity, with 183 generation units in the four countries in which we operate, consolidated assets of Ch$ 6,489 billion and operating revenues of Ch$ 2,369 billion.

Investments, Capital Expenditures and Divestitures

We coordinate the overall financing strategy including terms and conditions of borrowings by, and intercompany advances to, our subsidiaries to optimize debt and liquidity management. For the most part, our operating subsidiaries independently plan capital expenditures financed by internally generated funds or direct financings. Additionally, by focusing on Endesa Chile as a whole and seeking to provide services across the group of companies, we aim to reduce investments at the individual subsidiary level in items such as procurement, telecommunication and information systems. Although we have considered how these investments will be financed as part of the Company’s budget process, we have not committed to any particular financing structure, and investments will depend on the prevailing market conditions at the time the cash flows are needed.

Our investment plan is flexible enough so as to adapt to changing circumstances by giving different priorities to each project in accordance with profitability and strategic fit. Investment priorities are currently focused on developing the capacity plan in Chile and Colombia, so as to guarantee adequate levels of reliable supply and due concern for environmental issues.

For the 2013-2017 period, we expect to make capital expenditures of Ch$ 2,282 billion on a consolidated basis, relating to investments currently in progress, maintenance of existing installed capacity and in the studies required to develop other potential generation projects. For further detail regarding these projects, please see “Item 4. Information on the Company — D. Property, Plants and Equipment—Projects under Development.”

The table below sets forth the expected capital expenditures for the 2013-2017 period and the capital expenditures incurred in 2012, 2011 and 2010:

Capital Expenditures 2012, 2011 and 2010

Our investments in the last three years are related principally to the 350 MW Bocamina II project in Chile and the 400 MW, El Quimbo project in Colombia, and maintenance of existing installed capacity. Bocamina II began commercial operations in October, 2012 with 350 MW of installed capacity. El Quimbo project is still in progress.

Investments currently in progress

Our material plans in progress include completion of El Quimbo project, which is expected by April 2015 to add 400 MW of capacity to our Colombian operations in response to increased demand in that market. In general terms, projects in progress are expected to be financed with resources to be provided by external financing as well as internally generated funds.

 

B. Business Overview.

We are a publicly held limited liability stock corporation with consolidated operations in Chile, Colombia, Peru, Argentina and an equity interest in a Brazilian company. Our core business segment is electricity generation. The low amount of revenues from non-generation activities, less than 1.0% in terms of our 2012 revenues, does not justify the breakdown of revenues per activity. Additionally, we do not report them as a separate business segment for purposes of this discussion, or under IFRS.

Our consolidated installed capacity, as of December 31, 2012, was 14,185 MW, with 56.5% hydroelectric capacity, 43.0% thermal electric and 0.6% wind power generation capacity. Total installed capacity is defined as the maximum power capacity (measured in MW generation units) under specific technical conditions and characteristics.

We own and operate 183 generation units over the four countries in which we consolidate results, partly comprised of 108 generation units in Chile with an aggregate installed capacity, as of December 31, 2012, of 5,961 MW, 350 MW more than the value registered in December 31, 2011, due to the addition of the second steam turbine unit (TV2) of Bocamina II.

Additionally, as of December 31, 2012, we also have stakes in 75 generation units outside of Chile with an aggregate installed capacity of 8,223 MW, 11 MW less than the value registered in December 31, 2011, due to the reduction of installed capacity of the Santa Rosa and Ventanilla facilities by 3 MW and 8 MW, respectively.

We accounted for 33% of Chile’s total generation capacity as of December 31, 2012, measured by the installed capacity published by CDEC-SIC. Hydroelectric installed capacity represents 58.1% of Endesa Chile’s total installed capacity in Chile, thermoelectric installed capacity represents 40.6% and wind power represents 1.3%. The CDEC is the electricity dispatch center in the corresponding electric system. See “Item 4. Information on the Company — B. Business Overview — Electricity Industry and Regulatory Framework.” Hydroelectric installed capacity outside Chile represents 55.3% of Endesa Chile’s total installed capacity outside Chile. Based on 2012 figures, the Company’s installed generation capacity in Argentina, Colombia and Peru represents approximately 12%, 20% and 23% of total capacity in each country, respectively.

For additional detail on capacity increase of these units see “Item 4. Information on the Company — D. Property, Plants and Equipment.”

We segment our sales to customers using two different categories. First, we distinguish between regulated and unregulated customers. Regulated customers are distribution companies who mainly serve residential customers. Unregulated customers, on the other hand, may freely negotiate the price of electricity with generators or they may purchase electricity in the pool market at the spot price. The second criterion we use to segment our customer sales is by contracted sales and non-contracted sales. This method is useful because it provides a uniform way for us to compare our customers from country to country. The countries in which we operate have varying classifications for what constitutes a regulated customer. In contrast, contracted sales are defined uniformly throughout.

In the countries in which we operate, the potential for contracting electricity is generally related to electricity demand. Customers identified as small volume regulated customers, such as residential customers subject to government regulated electricity tariffs, must purchase electricity directly from a distribution company. These distribution companies, which purchase large amounts of electricity for small volume residential customers, generally enter into contractual agreements with generators at a regulated tariff price. Those identified as large volume industrial customers also enter into contractual agreements with energy suppliers. However, such large volume industrial customers are not subject to the regulated tariff price. Instead, these customers are allowed to negotiate the price of energy with generators based on the characteristics of the service required. Finally, the pool market, where energy is normally sold at the spot price, is not carried out through contracted pricing.

The following table contains information regarding Endesa Chile’s consolidated sales of electricity by type of customer for each of the periods indicated:

  (1) Includes the sales to distribution companies not backed by contracts in Chile and Peru.

The specific energy consumption limit (measured in GWh) for regulated and unregulated customers is country specific. Moreover, regulatory frameworks often require that regulated distribution companies have contracts to support their commitments to small volume customers and also determine which customers can purchase energy in electricity pool markets.

In terms of expenses, the primary variable costs involved in the electricity generation business, in addition to the direct variable cost of generating hydroelectric or thermal electricity such as fuel costs, are energy purchases and transportation costs. During periods of relatively low rainfall conditions, the amount of our thermal generation increases. This not only involves increasing the total cost of fuel but also the cost of transporting that fuel to the thermal generation power plants. Under drought conditions, electricity that we have contractually agreed to provide may exceed the amount of electricity that we are able to generate, requiring us to purchase electricity in the pool market in order to satisfy our contractual commitments. The cost of these pool market purchases may, under certain circumstances, exceed the price at which we sell electricity under contracts and result in a loss. We attempt to minimize the effect of poor hydrological conditions on our operations in any year primarily by limiting contractual sales requirements to an amount that does not exceed the estimated production in a “dry year.” In determining estimated production in a dry year, we take into account the available statistical information concerning rainfall and water flows, and the capacity of key reservoirs. In addition to limiting contracted sales, we may adopt other strategies such as installing temporary thermal capacity, negotiating lower consumption levels with unregulated customers, negotiating with other water users and including pass-through cost clauses in contracts with clients.

  (1) Total energy generation (GWh) plus purchases differs from GWh sales due to technical transmission losses in Chile and Peru, as the generation figure has already deducted power plant consumption and technical losses of generation units.

We have a 50% beneficial interest in GasAtacama Chile S.A., through which we participate in the gas transportation and thermal generation business in northern Chile. Since March 2008, we have a 51% beneficial interest in HidroAysén, through which we participate in a hydroelectric project in the Aysén Region. We also participate in the gas transportation business in Chile through our related company, Electrogas S.A. (Electrogas), in which we have a 42.5% beneficial interest. Electrogas owns a pipeline in the Valparaíso Region and supplies natural gas to the power plants of San Isidro and Nehuenco. The other shareholders of Electrogas are Colbún S.A. and ENAP.

Since September 2005, our participation in the Brazilian electricity business is carried out through our equity investment in Endesa Brasil S.A., in which we have a beneficial ownership interest of 38.9%. Endesa Brasil consolidates operations of two generation companies, Central Geradora Termeléctrica Endesa Fortaleza S.A., (Endesa Fortaleza), and Cachoeira Dourada; CIEN, which owns two transmission lines between Argentina and Brazil; CTM and TESA, subsidiaries of CIEN which own the Argentine side of the lines; and two distribution companies, Ampla Energia e Serviços S.A., (Ampla), which is the second largest electricity distribution company in the State of Rio de Janeiro, and Companhia Energética do Ceará S.A. (Coelce), which is the sole electricity distributor in the State of Ceará.

Operations in Chile

We own and operate a total of 108 generation units in Chile directly and through our subsidiaries Pehuenche, San Isidro, Celta, Endesa Eco and our jointly controlled company GasAtacama. Of these generation facilities, 38 are hydroelectric, with a total installed capacity of 3,465 MW. This represents 58.1% of our total installed capacity in Chile. There are 19 thermal units that operate with gas, coal or oil with a total installed capacity of 2,418 MW, representing 40.6% of our total installed capacity in Chile. There are 51 wind power units with 78 MW in the aggregate, representing 1.3% of our total installed capacity in Chile. All of our generation units are connected to the country’s central interconnected electricity systems, Sistema Interconectado Central (SIC), except for eight thermoelectric units (six GasAtacama and two Celta units) which are connected to the Sistema Interconectado del Norte Grande (SING) in the north.

For information on the installed generation capacity for each of the Company’s Chilean subsidiaries, see “Item 4. Information on the Company — D. Property, Plants and Equipment.”

Our total electricity generation in Chile (including the SIC and the SING) accounted for 30.7% of total electricity production in Chile during 2012.

Our thermal electric generation facilities are either natural gas, LNG, coal or oil-fired. In order to satisfy our natural gas and transportation requirements, we enter into long-term gas contracts with suppliers who establish maximum supply amounts and prices and long-term gas transportation agreements with the pipeline companies, which are currently Gas Andes and Electrogas (an Endesa Chile related company). Since March 2008, all of Endesa Chile’s natural gas units can operate with natural gas or diesel and since December 2009, San Isidro, San Isidro 2 and Quintero can operate with LNG.

Because of the lack of Argentine natural gas since 2006, Endesa Chile has used coal and diesel intensively, and more recently LNG has replaced our prior dependence on Argentine natural gas. Diesel consumption in 2012, 2011 and 2010 was 39,000 tons, 33,000 tons and 51,000 tons respectively. On the other hand, coal consumption was 914,000 tons, 600,000 tons and 486,000 tons, in 2012, 2011 and 2010 respectively.

In order to ensure the coal supply to its Bocamina and Tarapacá plants, Endesa Chile contracted with Endesa Energía in 2012 to supply and transport 1,550,000 tons of coal for delivery during the period from September 2012 to December 2013.

Endesa Chile exercised its option to change its supply arrangements pursuant to the terms of the Flexible Liquefied Natural Gas Sale and Purchase Agreement with BG. By exercising this option, the reference price changed from the Brent index to the Henry Hub index and the price of LNG that BG is obligated to deliver under the contract has been reduced significantly effective January 1, 2013.

In 2012, the Quintero LNG terminal resolved to increase the terminal’s present regasification capacity by 50%. This process is expected to be completed during the first half of 2014 and will enable Endesa Chile to increase its availability of gas in case of need.

Electricity sales countrywide in Chile, including sales other than ours, increased 5.2% during 2012, with sales in the SIC increasing by 3.9% and in the SING by 5.7%, as detailed in the following table:

Our electricity sales in Chile reached 21,277 GWh in 2012 and 22,070 GWh in 2011, which represent a 34.8% and 38.0% market share, respectively. The percentage of the energy purchases to satisfy our contractual obligations to third parties has slightly decreased from 7.9% in 2011 to 7.8% in 2012 as a result of the slight increase in our generation.

(1) Electricity generation plus electricity purchases differ from electricity sales due to transmission losses, as power plant consumption and technical energy losses have already been deducted.

We supply electricity to the major regulated electricity distribution companies, large unregulated industrial firms (primarily in the mining, pulp and steel sectors) and the pool market. Commercial relationships with our customers are usually governed by contracts. Supply contracts with distribution companies must be auctioned, are generally standardized and have an average term of ten years.

Supply contracts with unregulated customers (large industrial customers) are specific to the needs of each client and the conditions are agreed between both parties, reflecting competitive market conditions.

In 2012, 2011 and 2010, Endesa Chile (including GasAtacama) had 58, 54 and 59 customers, respectively. In 2012, our customers included 25 distribution companies in the SIC, 30 unregulated customers and three minor commercial customers.

Our generation contracts with unregulated customers are generally on a long-term basis, and typically range from five to fifteen years. Such contracts are usually automatically extended at the end of the applicable term, unless terminated by either party upon prior notice. Some of them include a price adjustment mechanism in the case of high marginal costs, which also reduces the

hydrological risk. Contracts with unregulated customers may also include specifications regarding power sources and equipment, which may be provided at special rates, as well as provisions for technical assistance to the customer. We have not experienced any supply interruptions under our contracts. In case we experience a force majeure event, as contractually defined, we are allowed to reject purchases and we are not required to supply electricity to our unregulated customers. Disputes are typically subject to binding arbitration between the parties, subject to limited exceptions.

We compete in the SIC primarily with two generation companies, Gener and Colbún S.A. (Colbún). According to the CDEC-SIC in 2012, Gener and its subsidiaries in the SIC had an installed capacity of 2,344 MW, of which 86.9% was thermoelectric, and Colbún had an installed capacity of 2,957 MW, of which 57.4% was thermoelectric. In addition to these two large competitors, there are a number of smaller entities with an aggregate installed capacity of 2,917 MW that generate electricity in the SIC.

Our primary competitors in the SING are E-CL (GDF Suez Group) and Gener, which have 2,135 MW and 1,465 MW of installed capacity, respectively. Our direct participation in the SING includes our 182 MW Tarapacá thermal plant, owned by our subsidiary Celta, and our participation through our jointly controlled company, GasAtacama, with 781 MW of installed capacity. In this Report, the convention is to refer to our capacity of 390 MW (50% of the actual amount) in connection with GasAtacama in proportion to Endesa Chile’s 50% stake. See “Item 4. Information on the Company — C. Organizational Structure” for details on related companies.

Electricity generation companies compete largely on the basis of price, technical experience and reliability. In addition, because 58.1% of our installed capacity in the SIC comes from hydroelectric power plants, we have lower marginal production costs than companies generating electricity through thermal plants. Our thermal installed capacity benefits from access to gas from the Quintero LNG terminal. During periods of extended droughts, however, we may be forced to buy more expensive electricity from thermoelectric generators at spot prices in order to satisfy our contractual obligations.

Directly and through our subsidiaries Pehuenche, San Isidro and Endesa Eco, we are the principal generation operator in the SIC, with 39.6% of the total installed capacity and 43.0% of the electricity energy sales of this system in 2012.

In the SING, our subsidiary Celta, and our jointly controlled company GasAtacama, accounted for 12.4% of the total installed capacity in 2012. Celta, our subsidiary, has a 182 MW thermal power plant connected to the SING which represents 4.0% of the total capacity of the SING. For Endesa Chile, GasAtacama represents a total of 390 MW or 8.5% of the total capacity in the SING. For further information regarding to our generation capacity in Chile as of December 31, 2011, please see “Item 4. Information on the Company — D. Property, Plants and Equipment.”

Operations in Argentina

We participate in electricity generation in Argentina through our subsidiaries Endesa Costanera and El Chocón, with a total of twenty power units. El Chocón owns nine hydroelectric units, with total installed capacity of 1,328 MW and Endesa Costanera owns eleven thermal units, with a total installed capacity of 2,324 MW. Our hydro and thermal generation units in Argentina represented 11.7% of the Sistema Interconectado Nacional (the Argentine NIS) installed capacity in 2012.

Our Argentine subsidiaries participate in three new companies, Manuel Belgrano, San Martín and Central Vuelta de Obligado S.A. These companies were formed to undertake the construction of three new generation facilities for FONINVEMEM. The first two plants started operations using gas turbines in 2008, with 1,125 MW of aggregate capacity, and combined cycles as of March 2010, with an additional 572 MW. The total aggregate capacity of these units is 1,697 MW (848 MW for Manuel Belgrano and 849 MW for San Martín). We expect that the third plant will start open cycle operations in mid 2013 with an installed capacity of 550 MW, and in combined cycle in mid 2015 with a total installed capacity of 800 MW.

Since 2002, government intervention and energy industry authority actions, including limiting the spot price of electricity by considering the variable cost of generating electricity with natural gas and without considering the hydrological conditions of rivers and reservoirs or the use of more expensive fuels, have led to the lack of investment in the electric power sector. (See “Item 4. Operation of the Company— B. Business Overview — Electricity Industry Regulatory Framework” for further detail). In addition, from 2002, the Argentine Government has taken an active role in controlling the supply of the fuel to the electricity generation sector

As of December 31, 2012, Endesa Costanera’s installed capacity accounted for 7.5% of the total installed capacity in the Argentine NIS. Endesa Costanera’s second combined-cycle plant can operate with either natural gas or diesel. Our 1,138 MW steam turbine power plant also can operate with either natural gas or fuel oil.

El Chocón accounted for 4.3% of the installed capacity in the Argentine NIS as of December 31, 2012. El Chocón has a 30-year concession, ending in 2023, for two hydroelectric generation facilities with an aggregate of 1,328 MW of installed capacity. The larger of the two facilities for which El Chocón has a concession of 1,200 MW of installed capacity is the primary flood control installation on the Limay River. The facility’s large reservoir, Ezequiel Ramos Mejía, enables El Chocón to be one of the Argentine NIS major peak suppliers. Variations in El Chocón’s water discharge are moderated by El Chocón’s Arroyito facility, a downstream dam with 128 MW of installed capacity. In November 2008, we finished construction work on the Arroyito dam, and increased the elevation of the reservoir water level, that allows releasing water at an additional 1,150 m3/sec, for a total of 3,750 m3/sec. The additional energy (69 GWh/year) was sold on the spot market until April 2009 and under “Energy Plus” program thereafter. Energy Plus program is the offer of new electricity capacity to supply the electricity demand growth, on top of the demand level for electricity in 2005. (For details on Energy Plus, see “Item 4. Information on the Company — B. Business Overview — Electricity Industry Regulatory Framework — Argentina”).

For information on the installed generation capacity for each of the Company’s Argentine subsidiaries, see “Item 4. Information on the Company — D. Property, Plants and Equipment.”

Our total generation in Argentina reached 11,289 GWh in 2012. Our generation market share was approximately 9.0% of total electricity production in Argentina during 2012.

Hydroelectric generation in Argentina accounted for nearly 24.8% of our total generation in 2012. This was due to the restrictions of the operation of El Chocón that were imposed by CAMMESA and the drought conditions presented during the year in the Limay River and in the Collón Curá River, the main tributaries of El Chocón. Due to the drought in 2012, the region received around 65% of its historic average rainfalls.

During 2012, Endesa Costanera served an average of 79 unregulated customers. Endesa Costanera has no contract with distribution companies. Given the regulatory measures adopted since 2003, the current Argentine electricity industry price scenario makes sales to distribution companies less attractive than sales to the wholesale market.

Operations in Colombia

Our generation operations in Colombia are carried out through Emgesa. We hold a 26.9% stake in Emgesa as of December 31, 2012, which we control and consolidate pursuant to a shareholder’s agreement with an Endesa Spain subsidiary who owns 21.6.%.

As of December 31, 2012, our Colombian subsidiary operated 30 generation units in Colombia, with a total installed capacity of 2,914 MW. Emgesa has 2,471 MW in hydroelectric plants and 444 MW in thermoelectric plants. Our hydroelectric and thermal generation plants in Colombia represent 20.2% of the country’s total electricity generation capacity as of December 2012.

For information on the installed generation capacity for each of the Company’s Colombian subsidiaries, see “Item 4. Information on the Company — D. Property, Plants and Equipment.”

Approximately 85% of our installed capacity in Colombia is hydroelectric. As a result, our electricity generation depends on the reservoir levels and rainfalls. Our generation market share in Colombia was 22.2% in 2012, 20.6% in 2011 and 19.8% in 2010. In addition to hydrological conditions, the amount of generation depends on our commercial strategy. Companies are free to offer their electricity at prices driven by market conditions and are dispatched by a centralized operating entity to generate according to the prices offered, as opposed to being dispatched according to the operating costs, as in other countries in which we operate.

During 2012, thermal generation represented 4.5% of total generation and hydroelectric generation represented the remaining 95.5% of our generation in Colombia. During 2012, hydrological conditions were normal in Colombia, with rainfall around 104% of the historical average. For Emgesa, the flows in the Guavio River Basin were 106% of average and the flows in the Magdalena River (Betania) were 101% of average while the flows in the and Bogotá River (Cadena Nueva) were a more favorable 146% of average.

In 2012, Emgesa entered into new fuel supply contracts for the coal-fired plants in Colombia in order to increase the number of suppliers, reduce the volumes contracts, increase the coal supply for Termozipa.

The local coal price continues to be below the export coal price as high transport costs make it impossible for domestic coal to compete in the export market.

In order to secure the reliable supply of the fuel for the Cartagena plant, Emgesa entered into a fuel-oil supply with Petromil for a term which lasts until November 2014. A completely variable supply contract was also signed with Biomax in order to import liquid fuels should there be local supply problems. The contract with Petromil was recently extended to November 2016.

The only interconnected electricity system in Colombia is the Sistema Interconectado Nacional (the “Colombian NIS”). Electricity demand in the Colombian NIS increased 3.8% during 2012. Total electricity consumption was: 59,350 GWh in 2012, 57,150 GWh in 2011 and 56,148 GWh in 2010.

The generation in Colombia’s electricity market has been affected by the agreement on International Energy Transactions governing the interconnection with Ecuador’s electricity system, which began operations in 2003. During 2012, electricity sales to Ecuador were 236 GWh. Energy imports from Ecuador to Colombia were 7 GWh in 2012.

In addition, Colombia has some interconnection links with Venezuela which operate under exceptional circumstances as required by either of the two countries. In early April 2011, Colombia and Venezuela signed an agreement to supply energy to Venezuela as part of the normalization of commercial relations. The agreement also includes the import of gasoline and diesel from Venezuela. The total energy exported was 478 GWh in 2012.

(1) Generation minus our power plant own consumption of electricity and technical losses.

In 2012, we generated 23.4% of total electricity production in Peru.

Hydrological generation represented 52.6% of Edegel’s total production in 2012. For Edegel, all hydrological contributions were above their historical average in 2012: in the Rimac River Basin (Huinco, Matucana, Callahuanca, Moyopampa, Huampaní) hydrological contributions were 124%; in the Tulumayo River (Yanango) hydrological contributions were 119%; and in the Tarma River (Chimay) hydrological contributions were 113%.

The portion of electricity supplied by Edegel’s own generation was 89.6% of total electricity sales, requiring 10.4% of purchases to satisfy contractual obligations to customers.

Edegel has gas supply, transportation and distribution contracts for its Ventanilla and Santa Rosa facilities. During 2007, the gas pipeline Camisea-Lima, owned by Transportadora del Gas del Perú S.A. (TGP), reached its full capacity. However, in May 2008, TGP started implementing restrictions on the transfer of gas through the pipeline. In order to guarantee the transportation capacity for its natural gas demand, Edegel modified its agreements during 2007 and 2008, shifting from interruptible to firm mode, with a capacity of 1.5 million m3/day (from August 2008 to July 2009) and 2.7 million m3/day (from August 2009 to July 2019). Going forward, Edegel expects that it will count on sufficient natural gas capacity for the combined cycle Ventanilla plant and part of Santa Rosa. In addition, in 2009 Edegel extended the contract for transportation and distribution from August 2019 to 2025 at a level of 2.1 million m3/day.

In August 2010, TGP awarded 0.5 million m3/d in firm transport capacity to Edegel from August 2010 until the end of 2019, in the TGP 14th open season.

Industry Overview

Industry Structure

The Chilean electricity industry is divided into three business segments: generation, transmission and distribution. These business segments are carried out by publicly-owned private sector companies. The state’s role is circumscribed to regulation, supervision and indicative investment planning through non-binding recommendations in the case of the generation and transmission businesses, with the exception of the main transmission system in which indicative planning is binding and as well as part of the bidding processes for its construction.

 

39


Table of Contents

The following chart shows the relationships among the various actors in the Chilean market:

 

LOGO

The generation segment comprises a group of electricity companies who own generating plants, which energy is transmitted and distributed to end customers. This segment is characterized by being a competitive market which operates under market-driven conditions. They sell their production to distribution companies, unregulated customers, other generation companies, and their surpluses on the spot market.

The transmission system comprises a combination of lines, substations and equipment for the transmission of electricity from the production points (generators) to the centers of consumption or distribution. Transmission in Chile is defined as lines or substations with a voltage or tension higher than 23 kV. The transmission system is open access and transmission companies may impose rights of way over the available transmission capacity through the payment of tolls.

The distribution segment is defined for regulatory purposes as all electricity supplies to end customers at a voltage no higher than 23 kV. Distribution companies operate under a distribution public utility concession regime, with service obligation and regulated tariffs for supplying regulated customers.

The distribution companies supply both regulated customers, whose demand is less than 500 kW, a segment for which the price and supply conditions are the result of tender processes regulated by the government’s National Energy Commission, and unregulated customers, with bilateral agreements with the generators, whose conditions are freely negotiated and agreed.

Customers are classified according to their amount of demand, as follows: (i) unregulated customers, those with a connected capacity over 2,000 kW; (ii) regulated customers, whose connected capacity is no more than 2,000 kW; and (iii) customers that opt for either a regulated-tariff or an unregulated regime, for a minimum period of four years in each regime, available to customers whose connected capacity falls in the range of 500 kW-2,000 kW.

In Chile, there are four separate interconnected electricity systems. The main systems that cover the most populated Chilean areas are the SIC, which services the central and south central part of the territory, where 92% of the Chilean population lives, and the SING, which operates in the northern part of the country, where most of the mining industry is located, and where 6% of the Chilean population lives (figures based on preliminary result of the 2012 Chilean census). In addition to the SIC and the SING, there are two isolated systems in southern Chile that provide electricity to remote areas, where 2% of the population lives.

In 2012, the government announced the interconnection project between the SIC and the SING, which would consider the use of a 500 kV high-voltage direct current (“HVDC”) technology with a capacity of 1,500 MW. This project would join the Cardones substation in the SIC and a new substation in the SING called Nuevo Encuentro. For its development, technical studies and the corresponding bidding process will be required in order to carry out the interconnection project. The start-up is expected for 2019.

Table of Contents

The operation of electricity generation companies in each of the two major interconnected electricity systems is coordinated by their respective dispatch center, or CDEC, an autonomous entity that involves generators, transmission companies and large customers. A CDEC coordinates the operation of its system with an efficiency criterion in which the lowest cost producer available is usually required to satisfy demand at any moment in time. As a result, at any specific level of demand, the appropriate supply will be provided at the lowest possible production cost available in the system. The marginal cost used is the price at which generators trade energy on an hourly basis, involving both their injections into the system and their withdrawals or purchases for supplying their customers.

Principal Regulatory Authorities

The Chilean Ministry of Energy develops and coordinates plans, policies and standards for the proper operation of the sector, approves tariffs and node prices set by the Chilean National Energy Commission ( “CNE”), and regulates the granting of concessions to electricity generation, transmission and distribution companies.

The CNE is the technical entity in charge of defining prices, technical standards and regulatory requirements.

The Chilean Superintendency of Electricity and Fuels (“SEF”) monitors the proper operation of electricity, gas and fuel sectors in compliance with the law in terms of safety, quality, and technical standards.

The Chilean Ministry of Environment is responsible for the development and application of regulatory and policy instruments that provide for the protection of natural resources, the promotion of environmental education and the control of pollution, among other matters. It is also responsible for administering the environmental impact assessment system at the national level, coordinating the preparation of environmental standards and establishing the programs for compliance with the standards.

The Anti-Trust Entities are responsible for preventing, investigating and correcting any threats to free market competition and any anti-competitive practices by potentially monopolistic companies. These entities include:

 

   

Free Market Competition Tribunal (“TDLC”, in its Spanish acronym). This is a special and independent jurisdictional entity, subject to the directive, correctional and economic authority of the Supreme Court, whose function is to prevent, correct and sanction threats to free market competition.

 

   

National Economic Prosecutor (“FNE”, in its Spanish acronym). This is the attorney general responsible for economic matters and for investigating and prosecuting all antitrust conduct before the Resolutory Commission and other tribunals.

The Panel of Experts acts as a tribunal in electricity matters arising from disputes between participants in the electricity market and the regulatory authority in certain tariff processes. It issues enforceable resolutions and comprises experts in industry matters, five engineers or economists and two lawyers, all of whom are elected every six years by the Free Market Competition Tribunal.

There are also other entities related to the energy sector: the Chilean Nuclear Energy Committee in charge of research, development, use and control of nuclear energy, and the Chilean Energy Efficiency Agency, in charge of promoting energy efficiency.

The Electricity Law

General

Since its inception, the Chilean electricity industry has been developed by private sector companies. Nationalization was carried out during the period 1970-73. During the 1980s, the sector was reorganized through the Chilean Electricity Law or Decree with Force of Law (“DFL”) No. 1, allowing participation of private capital in the electricity sector. By the end of the 1990s, foreign companies had a majority participation in the Chilean electricity system.

The goal of the Chilean Electricity Law is to provide incentives to maximize efficiency and to provide a simplified regulatory scheme and tariff-setting process which limits the discretionary role of the government by establishing objective criteria for setting prices. The expected result is an economically efficient allocation of resources. The regulatory system is designed to provide a competitive rate of return on investment to stimulate private investment, while ensuring the availability of electricity to all who request it.

DFL No. 1 was published in 1982 and has had only two important changes since then. The first one took place in 2004 to encourage investments in transmission lines. The second one was in 2005 to create long-term contracts between generation and distribution companies as part of a bid process.

 

41


Table of Contents

The present text of the law was restated in DFL No. 4 of 2006, which is complemented with a series of regulations and standards.

In February, 2012, the Chilean government presented the “National Energy Strategy” which seeks to be a guide for the system’s development over the next 20 years. This strategy is based on six pillars: improving energy efficiency; promoting Non-Conventional Renewable Energies (“NCREs”); reinforcing the role of conventional renewable energies to reduce external dependence; achieving a new focus on transmission by creating a public electricity highway; increasing sector competitiveness and progress in international electricity interconnection studies. The first step to achieve this strategy was the presentation of the “Electricity Highway” project, which currently is in discussion in the Chilean Congress.

Limits and Restrictions

The owners of the main transmission system must be constituted as limited liability stock corporations and cannot take part in the electricity generation or distribution businesses.

Individual participation in the main transmission system (“STT”) by companies operating in another electricity or unregulated customer segment cannot exceed, directly or indirectly, 8% of the total investment value of the STT. The aggregate participation of all such agents in the STT must never exceed 40% of the investment value.

The water utility services law also sets restrictions on the overlapping of electricity distribution company concession areas with those of water distribution and sewage services.

There are no special or specific restrictions on generating activity in terms of market concentration.

Regulation of Generation Companies

Concessions

The law permits generation activity without a concession. However, companies may apply for a concession to facilitate access to third-party properties. Third-party property owners are entitled to compensation, which may be agreed to by the parties or, if there is no agreement, it may be determined by an administrative proceeding that may be appealed in the Chilean courts.

Dispatch and Pricing

In each transmission system, the pertinent CDEC coordinates the operations of generation companies, in order to minimize the operating costs in the electricity system and monitor the quality of service provided by the generation and transmission companies. Generation companies satisfy their contractual sales requirements with dispatched electricity, whether produced by them or purchased from other generation companies in the spot market.

Sales by Generation Companies to Unregulated Customers

Sales by generation companies may be made to final unregulated customers or to other generation companies under freely negotiated contracts. To balance their contractual obligations with their dispatch, generators have to trade deficit and surplus electricity at the spot market price, which is set hourly by each CDEC, based on the lowest cost of production of the next kWh to be dispatched.

Sales to Distribution Companies and Certain Regulated Customers

Prior to 2005, sales to distribution companies for resale to regulated customers were made through contracts at regulated prices set by the CNE (node prices) in effect at the relevant locations (or nodes) on the interconnected system through which such electricity was supplied. Since 2005, all new contracts between generation and distribution companies for the electricity supply to regulated customers must arise from international bids which have a maximum offer energy price based on the average price paid by the unregulated customers at the time that the bid takes place, which is calculated twice a year by the CNE. If a first bid is unsuccessful, authorities may increase this maximum price by an additional 15%. The bids are awarded on a minimum price basis. The average prices associated with these bids are transferred directly to end customers, replacing the regulated node price regime. During the term of the contracts, the energy and capacity prices are indexed according to formulas set forth in the bid documentation and linked to fuel, investment and other costs of energy generation. Under the bid system, all distribution companies have separate electricity contracts for their regulated and unregulated customers since 2010.

Table of Contents

Due to the bankruptcy of the generating company Campanario in September, 2011, certain regulated customers in the central-southern region of the country no longer had electricity contracts. In response, the Chilean government published two resolutions: RE 2288 and RM 239. Pursuant to these resolutions, all generating companies must meet demand from their customers on a pro rata basis to their injections into the system until new contracts are awarded under new tendering processes. As of the date of this Report, only 56% of this energy has been awarded to generation companies until December, 2014 (of which 50% was to Endesa Chile and 6% to Gener).

Sales of Capacity to Other Generation Companies

Each CDEC determines a firm capacity for each power plant on an annual basis. Firm capacity is the highest capacity which a generator may supply to the system at certain peak hours, taking into consideration statistical information and accounting for time out of service for maintenance purposes and for extremely dry conditions in the case of hydroelectric plants.

A generation company may be required to purchase or sell capacity in the spot market, depending upon its contractual requirements in relation to the amount of electricity to be dispatched from such company and to its firm capacity.

Regulatory Charges

Chilean laws have not established any specific charge for the electric system. Nevertheless, if the tariff for residential customers increases by more than 5% in a six-month period, the government can establish a subsidy for low-income families. The last subsidy was granted by the government in 2009.

Incentives and Penalties

If a rationing decree is enacted in response to prolonged periods of electricity shortages, strict penalties may be imposed on generation companies that contravene the decree. A severe drought is not considered a force majeure event.

Generation companies may also be required to pay fines to the regulatory authorities, related to system blackouts due to any generator’s operational mistake, including failures related to the coordination duties of all system agents, as well as to make compensatory payments to electricity customers affected by shortages of electricity. If generation companies cannot satisfy their contractual commitments to deliver electricity during periods when a rationing decree is in effect and there is no energy available to purchase in the system, the generation company must compensate the customers at the failure cost determined by the authority in each tariff setting. This failure cost, which is updated semiannually by the CNE, is a measurement of how many final customers would pay for one extra MWh under rationing conditions.

Regulation in Transmission

The main transmission system consists of 220 kV or higher voltage lines that are used by generators and customers. Every four years a study is done to evaluate the existing system and to define the expansion plan. On December 31, 2010, the last study was delivered to the CNE. In November, 2011, the CNE promulgated Decree 61 that defines the current value of the existing lines to be remunerated in the 2011-2014 period. The main transmission system is paid by generators and customers.

According to the modifications to the General Electricity Services Law incorporated in Law 19,940 of March, 2004, the transportation of electricity by main transmission systems and sub-transmission systems are defined as a public service. Therefore, the transmitter has a service obligation, and is responsible for the maintenance and improvement of its facilities.

On September 4, 2012, the Chilean government sent to the Chilean Congress a bill called “Electricity Highway,” which seeks to define transmission projects as being of “public interest”. This designation would permit the creation of fiscal sections, which are currently susceptible to being expropriated or subject to easements, speed up the licensing and permits process and thereby ensure the sector’s development.

Regulation in Subtransmission

Subtransmission systems are defined as voltage lines exceeding 23 kV. There are seven subtransmission systems defined by decree. The subtransmission systems are paid mainly by customers according to the values fixed by decree of the Ministry of Energy. Generators and unregulated customers pay only for the lines they use in each system. The study to define the current value of the existing lines to be remunerated in the 2011-2014 period has been finished. However, as of the date of this Report, the CNE has not promulgated the corresponding decree.

Environmental Regulation

The Chilean Constitution grants citizens the right to live in a pollution-free environment. It further provides that certain other constitutional rights may be limited in order to protect the environment. Chile has numerous laws, regulations, decrees and municipal ordinances that address environmental considerations. Among them are regulations relating to waste disposal (including the discharge of liquid industrial wastes), the establishment of industries in areas in which they may affect public health, and the protection of water for human consumption.

Environmental Law 19,300 was enacted in 1994 and implemented by several rules, such as the Environmental Impact Assessment System Rule issued in 1997 and modified in 2001. This law requires companies to conduct an environmental impact study and a declaration of any future generation or transmission projects.

In January, 2010, Law 19,300 was modified by Law 20,417, which introduced changes in the environmental assessment process and in the public institutions involved, principally creating the Chilean Ministry of Environment and the Superintendency of Environment. Consequently, the environmental assessment process is coordinated by this entity and the Environmental Assessment Service.

On April 1, 2008, Law 20,257 was enacted, which amended the General Services Law. The purpose of the amendment is to promote the use of NCRE. This law defines the different types of technologies considered as NCRE, and establishes the obligation for generators, between 2010 and 2014, to supply at least 5% of the total energy contracted as of August 31, 2007, to be of such type, and to progressively increase this percentage 0.5 percentage points annually up to at least 10% as of 2024. Currently, our power plants recognized as NCRE generators are the Palmucho and Canela wind farms and the Ojos de Agua mini-hydroelectric plant. Additionally, the law sets forth fines for generators that do not comply with this obligation. Endesa Chile fully complied with this obligation during 2012. The additional cost of generating with NCRE is being charged as a pass-through in the new contracts, thus eliminating an impact to our revenues.

An amendment to this law has been discussed in the Chilean Congress. The Chilean Senate unanimously approved an increase in the NCRE targets, initially from 10% in 2024 to 20% in 2020. The Minister of Energy has explained to the Chilean Energy and Mining Commission the technical and economic difficulties that this drastic change in the original target would cause. It was therefore recommended not to amend the present law in terms of targets.

In January 2011, Decree 13 of the Ministry of Environment was published in the Diario Oficial, a governmental publication, establishing emission standards for thermoelectric plants applicable to generation units of at least 50 MW. The object of this regulation is to control atmospheric emissions of particulate matter (MP), nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur dioxide (SO2) and mercury (Hg), in order to prevent and protect the health of the population and protect the environment. Existing emission sources will have to meet emission limits for MP as established in the regulation within two and a half years from the date of publication of this decree (which is expected to be in July 2013); for SO2 and NOx emissions, the term is four years in highly polluted areas and five years elsewhere.

On June, 2012, Law 20,600 was published, creating the Environmental Courts. The law defines the Environmental Courts as special jurisdictional courts subject to the control of the Supreme Court. Their primary function is to resolve environmental disputes within their jurisdiction and look into other matters that are submitted for their attention under the law. The law created three such courts : the first began operating in December, 2012 and the other two will become operative in June, 2013.

On December 28, 2012, the Superintendency of Environment was formally created and began to exercise its powers of enforcement and sanctions pursuant to Chilean environmental regulations.

Water Rights

We own unconditional, absolute and perpetual property water rights granted by the Chilean Water Authority. Companies in Chile must pay an annual fee for unused water rights. License fees already paid may be recovered through monthly tax credits commencing on the start-up date of the project associated with the water right considered. The maximum license fees to be recovered are those paid during the eight years before the start-up date. As of the date of this Report, we and our subsidiaries have not recovered any license fees already paid. During 2012, we paid Ch$ 6,429 million for 2011 unused water rights located in the SIC area. This amount may vary in the future according to the actual water rights we may hold each year. We and our subsidiaries continuously analyze which water rights they will maintain, disregard or acquire. We estimate that in 2013 we will pay fees for an aggregate of Ch$ 7,269 million. Since 2012, the annual fees increased due to the water rights law, which requires a doubling of the annual fee for 2012. After that, the fees will remain flat for five years, and then double again thereafter. In the case of water rights located in the extreme south of Chile, outside the area comprised by the SIC, companies have begun to pay license fees as of January 1, 2012. In this area, Endesa Chile owns water rights for the Futaleufú River.

Argentina

Industry Overview

Industry Structure

In the Wholesale Electricity Market (“Argentine MEM”, in its Spanish acronym) there are four categories of local agents (generators, transmitters, distributors and large customers) and external agents (traders of generation and traders of demand) who are allowed to buy and sell electricity as well as related products.

The following chart shows the relationships among the various actors in the Argentine MEM:

 

 

LOGO

The generation sector is organized on a competitive basis, with independent generators selling their output in the Argentine MEM’s spot market or through private contracts to purchasers in the Argentine MEM’s contract market or to CAMMESA, which is the entity in charge of the operation of the Argentine MEM, through special transactions like contracts under Resolutions SE 220/2007 and 724/2008.

The transmission sector operates under monopoly conditions and is comprised of several companies to whom the Argentine government grants concessions. One concessionaire operates and maintains the highest voltage facilities and eight concessionaires operate and maintain high and medium voltage facilities, to which generation plants, distribution systems and large customers are connected. The international interconnected transmission systems also require concessions granted by the Argentine Secretariat of Energy. Transmission companies are authorized to charge different tolls for their services.

Distribution is regarded as a public service operating under monopoly conditions. It is comprised of companies that have been granted concessions by the Argentine government. Distribution companies have the obligation to make electricity available to end customers within a specific concession area, regardless of whether the customer has a contract with the distributor or directly with a generator. Accordingly, these companies have regulated tariffs and are subject to quality service specifications. Distribution companies may obtain electricity on the Argentine MEM’s spot market, at a price called “seasonal price,” which is defined by the Argentine Secretariat of Energy as the cap for the costs of electricity bought by distributors that can be passed through to regulated customers.

 

45


Table of Contents

There are two electricity distribution areas subject to federal concessions. The concessionaires are Edesur (controlled by Enersis) and Edenor (unrelated to us) which are located in the Greater Buenos Aires area. The local distribution areas are subject to concessions granted by the provincial or municipal authorities. However, all distribution companies acting on the Argentine MEM must operate under its rules.

Regulated customers are supplied by distributors at regulated tariffs, unless they have a minimum capacity demand of 30 kW, in which case they can choose to contract their supply directly from generators within the Argentine MEM’s spot market and thereby become “Large Customers” who may freely negotiate their prices with generating companies.

“Large Customers” are classified into three categories: Major Large Customers, Minor Large Customers and Particular Large Customers. Each of these categories of customers has different requirements with respect to purchases of their energy demand. For example, Major Large Customers are required to purchase 50% of their demand through supply contracts and the remainder in the spot market, while Minor Large Customers and Particular Large Customers are required to purchase all of their demand through supply contracts. Large customers participate in CAMMESA by appointing two acting and two alternate directors through the Asociación de Grandes Usuarios de Energía Eléctrica de la República Argentina (Argentine Association of Electric Power for Large Customers, or “AGUEERA”).

There is one interconnected system, the Argentine SADI, and smaller systems that provide electricity to specific areas. According to the Argentine National Institute of Statistics and Census (“INDEC”, in its Spanish acronym), 97.7% of the population received electricity through the public network in 2010, while 1.1% generated their own electricity and 1.2% had no access to electricity.

Principal Regulatory Authorities

The Argentine Ministry of Federal Planning, Public Investment and Services, through the Argentine Secretariat of Energy, is primarily responsible for studying and analyzing the behavior of energy markets, preparing the strategic planning with respect to electricity, hydrocarbons and other fuels, promoting policies to increase competition and improve efficiency in the assignment of resources, leading actions for applying the sector policy, orienting new operators to the general interest, respecting the rational exploitation of the resources and the preservation of the environment.

The Electricity National Regulatory Agency (“ENRE”, in its Spanish acronym) carries out the measures necessary for meeting national policy objectives with respect to the supply, transmission and distribution of electricity. Its principal objectives are to protect the rights of customers, promote competitiveness in production and encourage investments that assure long-term supply, promote free access, non-discrimination and the generalized use of the transmission and distribution services, and regulate transmission and distribution services to ensure fair and reasonable tariffs, encourage private investment in production, transmission and distribution, ensuring the competitiveness of the markets where possible.

The principal functions of the Administrative Company for the Wholesale Electricity Market (“CAMMESA”, in its Spanish acronym) are the coordination of dispatch operations, the establishment of wholesale prices and the administration of economic transactions made through the SIN. It is also responsible for executing the economic dispatch through economic considerations and rationality in the administration of the energy resource, coordinating the centralized operation of the SIN to guarantee its security and quality, and managing the Argentine MEM, in order to ensure transparency through the participation of all the players involved and with respect to the respective regulations.

The principal functions of the Argentine Federal Electricity Council are the following: (i) administering specific funds for the electricity sector and (ii) advising the national executive authority and the provincial governments with respect to the electricity industry, the priorities in performing studies and works, concessions and authorizations, and prices and tariffs in the electricity sector. It also provides advice regarding modifications resulting from legislation referring to the electricity industry.

The Electricity Law

General

The Argentine electricity industry was originally developed by private companies. As a result of service problems, the government began to intervene in the sector in the 1950s and initiated a nationalization process. Law 15,336/60 was passed to organize the sector and establish the federal legal framework for the start of major transmission and generation works. Many state companies were created within this framework in order to carry out various hydroelectric and nuclear projects.

As a result of the electricity shortage in 1989, the following laws were passed starting in 1990: Law 23,696 (“State Reform”), Law 23,697 (“Economic Emergency”) and Law 24,065 (“Electricity Framework”).

 

46


Table of Contents

The objective of the new legislations was essentially to replace the vertically-integrated system based on a centrally-planned state monopoly with a competitive system based on the market and indicative planning.

Regulatory Developments: The Industry After the Public Emergency Law

Law 25,561, the Public Emergency Law, was enacted in 2002 to manage the economic crisis which began that year. It forced the renegotiation of public service contracts (such as electricity transmission and distribution concession contracts) and imposed the conversion of U.S. dollar denominated obligations into Argentine pesos at a pegged rate of Ar$ 1 per US$ 1. The mandatory conversion of transmission and distribution tariffs from U.S. dollars to Argentine pesos at this pegged rate (compared to the market exchange rate of approximately Ar$ 3 per US$ 1) and the regulatory measures that cap and reduce the spot and seasonal prices hindered the pass-through of generation variable costs in the tariffs to end customers.

The Public Emergency Law also empowered the Argentine government to implement additional monetary, financial and foreign exchange measures to overcome the economic crisis in the medium term. These measures have been periodically extended. Law 26,729, which was enacted in December 2011, extended the measures until December 31, 2013.

The Argentine Secretariat of Energy introduced several regulatory measures aimed at correcting the effects of the devaluation into the Argentine MEM’s costs and prices and to reduce the price paid by the end customers.

Resolution SE 240/2003 changed the method for calculating spot prices by decoupling such prices from the marginal cost of operation. Prior to this resolution, spot prices in the Argentine MEM were typically fixed by units operating with natural gas during the warm season (from September through April) and units operating with liquid fuel/diesel in the winter (May-August). Due to restrictions on natural gas supply, winter prices were higher and affected by the price of imported fuels priced in U.S. dollars. Resolution SE 240/2003 sought to avoid price indexation pegged to the U.S. dollar and, although generation dispatch is still based on actual fuels used, the calculation of the spot price under the resolution is defined as if all dispatched generation units did not have the existing restrictions on natural gas supply. In addition, water value is not considered if its opportunity cost is higher than the cost of generating with natural gas. The resolution also set a cap on the spot price at Ar$ 120/MWh, which was still valid during 2012. The real variable costs of thermal units burning liquid fuels were paid by CAMMESA through the Transitory Additional Dispatch Cost (Sobrecosto transitorio de despacho, or “STD”) plus a margin of Ar$ 2.5/MWh, according to the Resolutions SE 6,866/2009 and 6,169/2010, that came into effect in May 2010.

The government has avoided the increase in electricity tariffs to end customers and seasonal prices have been maintained substantially fixed in Argentine pesos. However, gas producers have received price revisions by the authority and thereby were able to recover part of the value that they lost as a result of the 2002 devaluation.

Under this system, CAMMESA sells energy to distributors who pay seasonal prices, and buys energy from generators at spot prices that recognize rising gas prices at a contractual price defined by the instructions of the Argentine Secretariat of Energy. To overcome this imbalance, the Argentine Secretariat of Energy — through Resolution SE 406/2003 — only allows payments to generators for amounts collected from the purchasers in the spot market. This resolution set a priority of payment for different services , such as capacity payment, fuel cost and energy sales margin, among others. As a result, CAMMESA accumulates debt with generators while the system gives a misleading price incentive to the market that encourages electricity consumption but discourages investments to satisfy the growth in electricity demand, including investments in transmission capacity. Additionally, generators suffer a reduction of estimated income from contract prices because of the reduction of the spot price level.

The Argentine government has gradually reversed its decision to freeze tariffs. During 2011, various resolutions authorizing the elimination of electricity and natural gas subsidies were issued. However, the subsidy elimination has been applied to only 5% of the demand. For further details, see “Sales to Distribution Companies and Certain Regulated Customers” below.

In order to enhance the energy supply, the Argentine Secretariat of Energy created different schemes to sell “more reliable energy.” Resolution 1,281/2006 created the Energy Plus Service, which was designed to increase generation capacity in order to meet growth in electricity demand over the “Base Demand,” which was the demand for electricity in 2005.

Resolutions SE 220/2007 and 724/2008 gave thermal generators the opportunity to reduce some of the adverse effects of Resolution SE 406/2003 by entering into MEM Supply Commitment Contracts, or “CCAM”, in its Spanish acronym. Under these resolutions, a generator can perform maintenance or repowering investments to improve their unit’s availability and add additional capacity to the system. After authorization, the generator can then sign a CCAM at prices that would permit the recovery of such capital expenditures. Additionally, energy sales through a CCAM receive payment priority compared with spot energy sales under Resolution 406/2003). Generators with a CCAM can supply energy to CAMMESA for up to 36 months, renewable only for an additional period of six months.

During 2009, Resolution SE 762/2009 created the Hydroelectric National Program to promote the construction of new hydro plants. The program enables authorized generators to enter into energy supply contracts with CAMMESA for up to fifteen years at prices that would allow for the recoupment of their investment.

The Argentine government has adopted several other measures to encourage new investments, including the following: auctions to expand the capacity of natural gas transportation and electricity transmission; the implementation of certain projects for the construction of power plants; the creation of fiduciary funds to finance these expansions; and the awarding of contracts with renewable energy, called the “GENREN program”. For more details, refer to “Environmental Regulation” below. In addition, Law 26,095/2006 created specific charges that must be paid by end customers which are used to finance new electricity and gas infrastructure projects. The Argentine government has also enacted some regulations to encourage the rational and efficient use of electricity.

Since the implementation of Law 24,065 (“Electricity Framework”), the generation sector has sold the electricity it generates on the wholesale spot market and the private contract market. However, a series of resolutions have been published in recent years that have permitted the Argentine government and generators to sign contracts for the incorporation of new generation and/or maintenance of existing plants to guarantee the availability of the units, all in accordance with Resolutions 146/23, 200/220/07 and 724/08.

On August 24, 2012 the Argentine government informed electricity sector companies that it will reform the Argentine MEM and end the marginalist system of the 1990s. To implement these changes, a Strategic Planning and Coordination Commission of the National Hydrocarbons Investment Plan was created. It is expected that the principal changes will be in the generation sector and that the “liberalized marginalist” model will evolve into a “Cost Plus” model in accordance with the following “Declared Principles”: (i) any income shall be applied to each company based on the sum of its equity and financial debt, less redundant assets, (ii) a “Reasonable Profit” would be recognized, and (iii) efficient operating costs would be recognized.

With this new regulatory model, the Argentine government will have more information and control over (i) the profitability of companies, (ii) the quality of service, and (iii) the supply of fuels through CAMMESA, which will be the sole supplier of fuels (through imports and a contract with YPF S.A., an Argentine company engaged in the exploration, distribution and sale of petroleum and its derivatives).

As of the date of this Report, the implementation date of the new regulatory model has not been determined.

Agreement For Managing And Operating Projects

On November 25, 2010, the Argentine Secretariat of Energy signed an agreement with several generation companies, including Endesa Chile’ subsidiaries, in order to: (i) increase thermoelectric unit availability, (ii) increase energy and capacity prices and (iii) develop new generation units through the contribution of outstanding debts of CAMMESA owed to the generation companies.

This agreement seeks to accomplish the following: (i) continue the reform of the Argentine MEM; (ii) enable the incorporation of new generation to meet the increased demand for energy in the Argentine MEM (pursuant to this agreement, Endesa Chile’s subsidiaries, together with the SADESA Group and Duke, formed a company to develop the combined-cycle project with a capacity of approximately 800 MW at the Vuelta de Obligado thermal plant); (iii) determine a mechanism to pay the generators’ sales settlements with maturity dates to be determined, which represent generators’ claims spanning the period from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2011; and (iv) determine the method for recognizing the total remuneration due to generators.

On October 24, 2012, the contract for the turnkey supply and construction of the Vuelta de Obligado plant was entered into by and among General Electric Internacional Inc. and General Electric Internacional Inc., Argentina branch, and the Argentine Secretariat of Energy.

The project also includes the expansion of the Río Coronda 500 kV transformer station which connects to the Argentine Interconnected System (“Argentine NIS”) , the construction of four new fuel tanks, the construction of a gas pipeline to supply natural gas from the national network, and maintenance of the plant during the single and combined-cycle operation periods for a period of 10 years.

FONINVEMEM

Resolution SE 712/2004 created FONINVEMEM, a fund whose purpose is to increase electricity capacity/generation within the Argentine MEM. Pursuant to Resolution SE 406/2003, the Argentine Secretariat of Energy decided to pay generators for the spot prices up to the amount available in a stabilization fund, after collecting the funds from the purchasers in the spot market at seasonal

prices, which were lower than spot prices for the same period. FONINVEMEM would receive the differences between spot prices and payments to sellers, according to Resolution SE 406/ 2003 from January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2006. CAMMESA was appointed to manage FONINVEMEM.

Pursuant to Resolution SE 1,193/2005, all private generators in the Argentine MEM were called upon to participate in the construction, operation and maintenance of the electricity generation plants to be built with the funds from FONINVEMEM, consisting of two combined -cycle generation plants of approximately 850 MW each .

Due to the insufficient resources to construct the plants, Resolution SE 564/2007 required all of the Argentine MEM’s private sector generators to commit to FONINVEMEM by including the differences between spot prices and payments made pursuant to Resolution SE 406/2003 for an additional period ending December 31, 2007. These plants were completed in 2010 and are powered by natural gas or alternative fuels.

The Energy Plus Program

In September 2006, the Argentine Secretariat of Energy issued Resolution SE 1,281/2006 in an effort to respond to the continued increase in energy demand following Argentina’s economic recovery after the crisis. With this resolution the Argentine government started the Energy Plus Program. which principal objectives are to (i) create incentives to construct electricity generation plants and (ii) ensure that energy available in the market is used primarily to service residential customers and industrial and commercial customers with an energy demand is at or below 300 kW as well as those who do not have access to other viable energy alternatives.

The resolution also established the price large customers are required to pay for excess demand that are not covered by a contract under the Energy Plus Program, which is equal to the marginal cost of operations. This marginal cost is equal to the generation cost of the last generation unit dispatched to supply the incremental demand for electricity at any given time.

Limits and Restrictions

To preserve competition in the electricity market, participants in the electricity sector are subject to vertical and horizontal restrictions, depending on the market segment in which they operate.

Vertical Integration Restrictions

The vertical integration restrictions apply to companies that intend to participate simultaneously in different sub-sectors of the electricity market. These vertical integration restrictions were imposed by Law 24,065, and apply differently to each sub-sector as described below:

Generators

 

   

Neither a generation company nor any of its controlled or controlling companies can be an owner, majority shareholder or the controlling entity of a transmission company; and

   

Since a distribution company cannot own generation units, a holder of generation units cannot own distribution concessions. However, the shareholders of the electricity generator may own an entity that holds distribution units, either by themselves or through any other entity created with the purpose of owning or controlling distribution units.

Transmitters

 

   

Neither a transmission company nor any of its controlled or controlling companies can be an owner, majority shareholder or the controlling company of a generation company;

   

Neither a transmission company nor any of its controlled or controlling companies can be an owner, majority shareholder or the controlling company of a distribution company; and

   

Transmission companies cannot buy or sell electric energy.

Distributors

 

   

Neither a distribution company nor any of its controlled or controlling companies can be an owner, majority shareholder or the controlling company of a transmission company; and

   

A distribution company cannot own generation units. However, the shareholders of an electricity distributor may own generation units either by themselves or through any other entity created with the purpose of owning or controlling generation units.

Table of Contents

Horizontal Integration Restrictions

In addition to the vertical integration restrictions described above, distribution and transmission companies are subject to the following horizontal integration restrictions:

Transmitters

 

   

Two or more transmission companies can merge or be part of a same economic group only if they obtain an express approval from the ENRE. Such approval is also necessary when a transmission company intends to acquire shares of another transmission company. Pursuant to the concession agreements that govern the services rendered by private companies operating transmission lines between 132 kW and 140 kW, the service is rendered by the concessionaire on an exclusive basis in certain areas indicated in the concession agreement. Pursuant to the concession agreements that govern the services rendered by the private companies operating the high-tension transmission services of at least 220 kW, such companies must render the service on an exclusive basis and are entitled to render the service throughout the entire country, without territorial limitations.

Distributors

 

   

Two or more distribution companies can merge or be part of a same economic group only if they obtain an express approval from the ENRE. Such approval is necessary when a distribution company intends to acquire shares of another transmission or distribution company; and

   

Pursuant to the concession agreements that govern the services rendered by private companies operating distribution networks, the service is rendered by the concessionaire on an exclusive basis in certain areas indicated in the concession agreement.

Regulation of Generation Companies

Concessions

Hydroelectric generators with a normal generation capacity exceeding 500kW must obtain a concession to use public water sources. Concessions may be granted for a fixed or an indefinite term.

Such concession-holders have the right to: (i) take control of the private properties within the concession area (subject to general laws and local regulations) that are necessary to create reservoirs as well as underground or above ground supply-line and release channels, (ii) flood lands that are necessary to raise water levels, and (iii) request the authorities to make use of the powers conferred in article 10 of Law 15,336 in cases where it is absolutely necessary to appropriate the property of a third-party that was not part of the concession and the concession-holder has failed to reach an agreement with such third-party.

Dispatch and Pricing

CAMMESA controls the coordination of dispatch operations, the spot price calculations and the administration of the Argentine MEM’s economic transactions. CAMMESA is also required to comply with special instructions given by the Argentine Secretariat of Energy in order to enter into power purchase transactions with certain generators. All generators that are Argentine MEM agents have to be connected to the Argentine NIS and are obliged to comply with the dispatch order to generate and deliver energy to the Argentine NIS in order to be sold in the spot market or in the term market. Distribution companies, traders and large customers that have entered into private supply contracts with generation companies pay the contractual price directly to the generator and also pay a fee to the transmission and/or distribution company for the use of their systems.

The emergency regulations enacted after the Argentine crisis in 2001 had a significant impact on energy prices. Among the measures implemented pursuant to the emergency regulations were the specification of prices in the Argentine MEM and the requirement that all spot prices be calculated based on the price of natural gas, even in circumstances where alternative fuel such as diesel is purchased to meet demand due to the lack of supply of natural gas.

In addition to energy payments for actual output at the prevailing spot market prices, generators would receive compensation for capacity placed at the disposal of the spot market, including stand-by capacity, additional stand-by capacity (for system capacity

shortages) and ancillary services (such as frequency regulation and voltage control). Capacity payments were originally established and set in U.S. dollars to allow generators to cover their foreign-denominated costs that were not covered by the spot price. However, in 2002, the Argentine government set capacity payments in reference to the Argentine peso, thereby limiting the purpose for which capacity payments were established.

The regulatory framework governing payment for generation capacity established by the emerging regulations continued to be the same since 2002, with generators receiving compensation for available capacity at Ar$ 12 per MW until December 2010. On November 25, 2010, the Argentine Secretariat of Energy entered into an agreement with all private generators in order to increase the installed capacity during 2011. The agreement provides that the government will pay Ar$ 35 per MW-hrp (hrp stands for hours in which capacity is being paid) for available capacity of units greater than 100 MW and Ar$ 42 per MW-hrp of units smaller than 100 MW to generators that present projects to increase capacity and can provide capacity with adequate availability, as defined in the agreement. Furthermore, the remuneration to cover operation and maintenance costs will also increase from Ar$ 7.96 per MWh to Ar$ 11.96 per MWh for natural gas-based generation and from Ar$ 12.96 per MWh to Ar$ 20.96 per MWh for alternative fuel-based generation. In addition, all hydroelectric units with an installed capacity greater than 250 MW will receive 100% of their energy spot market sales. This payment system is still in effect and will remain in effect until the new regulatory model is implemented.

Seasonal Prices

The emergency regulations also made significant changes to the seasonal prices charged to distributors in the Argentine MEM, including the implementation of a cap (which varies depending on the category of customer) on the cost of electricity charged by CAMMESA to distributors at a price significantly below the spot price charged by generators. These prices have not changed since January 2005.

Pursuant to Resolution SE 1,301/2011, which announced the elimination of subsidies, the Argentine MEM’s seasonal reference prices for non-subsidized electricity were published in November 2011. This resolution also provided for the (i) discontinuation of the practice of charging subsidized prices for non-residential customers based on their payment capacity and economic activity; (ii) creation of a Register of Exceptions including a list of customers exempt from the subsidy elimination, provided that they can certify their inability to bear the seasonal reference prices for non-subsidized electricity; and (iii) the identification of the National State Subsidy, requiring CAMMESA to explicitly identify the subsidies that it provides to each level of demand. Under the resolution, distributors are also required to notify residential customers that will be affected by the elimination of subsidies.

Stabilization Fund

The stabilization fund, managed by CAMMESA, was created to absorb the difference between purchases by distributors at seasonal prices and payments to generators for energy sales at the spot price. When the spot price is lower than the seasonal price, the stabilization fund increases and when the spot price is higher than the seasonal price, the stabilization fund decreases. The outstanding balance of this fund at any given time reflects the accumulation of differences between the seasonal price and the hourly energy price in the spot market. The stabilization fund is required to maintain a minimum balance to cover payments to generators if prices in the spot market during the quarter exceed the seasonal price.

The stabilization fund has been adversely affected as a result of the modifications to the spot price and the seasonal price made by the emergency regulations, pursuant to which seasonal prices were set below spot prices resulting in large deficits in the stabilization fund. These deficits have been financed by the Argentine government through loans to CAMMESA and with FONINVEMEM funds, but these continue to be insufficient to cover the differences between the spot price and the seasonal price.

Negotiated Prices

Generators may also enter into agreements in the term market to supply energy and capacity to distributors and large customers. However, with the modifications being carried out in the generation sector, it is unclear how the generators’ role of trader will continue. Distributors are able to purchase energy through contracts on the term market instead of purchasing energy in the spot market. Term contracts typically stipulate a price based on the spot price plus a margin. Prices in the term market have at times been lower than the seasonal price that distributors are required to pay in the spot market. However, as a result of the emergency regulations, prices in the term market are currently higher than seasonal prices, particularly with respect to residential prices, making it unattractive for distributors to purchase energy under term contracts while prices remain at their current levels.

Sales by Generation Companies to Unregulated Customers

Generators may also enter into contracts in the term market to supply energy and capacity to distributors and large customers. However, with the modifications being carried out in the generation sector, it is unclear whether the generators may continue to pay the role of a trader. Distributors are able to purchase energy through contracts on the term market instead of purchasing energy in the spot market. Term contracts typically stipulate a price based on the spot price plus a margin.

Table of Contents

As a result of the emergency regulations, prices in the term market are currently higher than seasonal prices, particularly with respect to residential tariffs, making it unattractive to distributors to purchase energy under term contracts while prices remain at their current levels.

In addition, the Argentine Secretariat of Energy issued Resolution SE 1281/2006 in September 2006. The principal objective of this resolution is to ensure that energy available in the market is used primarily to service residential customers and industrial and commercial customers whose energy demand is at or below 300 kW and who do not have access to other viable energy alternatives.

Sales to Distribution Companies and Regulated Customers

In order to stabilize the prices for distribution, the market uses the seasonal price as the energy price to be paid by distributors for their purchases of electricity traded in the spot market. This is a fixed price determined every six months by the Argentine Secretariat of Energy based on CAMMESA’s recommended seasonal price level for the next period according to its estimated spot price. CAMMESA estimates this price by evaluating its expected supply, demand and available capacity, as well as other factors. The seasonal price is maintained for at least 90 days. Since 2002, the Argentine Secretariat of Energy has been approving seasonal prices lower than those recommended by CAMMESA.

At the end of 2011, the Argentine government issued various resolutions in order to being a process of reducing subsidies to gas, electricity and water tariffs. These resolutions provide for, among other things, the (i) approval of the seasonal programming of regulated tariffs for the period from November 2011 to April 2012, (ii) establishment of a new non-subsidized seasonal price, which increased from Ar$ 243/MWh to Ar$ 320/MWh, (iii) listing of economic activities that are subject to the reduction in subsidies, (iv) creation of a register recording the exceptions to the reduction in subsidies, (v) establishment of the effective date for the new tariffs as of January 1, 2012, and (vi) provisions for voluntarily renouncing gas, electricity and water subsidies through an online system.

Specific Regulatory Charges for Electricity Companies

The authority to impose regulatory charges in Argentina is administratively divided among the federal, provincial and the municipal governments. Therefore, the tax charge varies according to where the customer lives.

Incentives and Penalties

The Energy Plus Service Program, part of the Energy Plus Program, is provided by generators that have (i) installed new generation capacity or (ii) connected previously unconnected existing generation capacity to the Argentine NIS. All “Large Customers” that had a higher demand than their Base Demand as of November 1, 2006 were required to enter into a contract with the Energy Plus Service Program to cover their excess demand. Large Customers that did not enter into such contracts are required to pay additional amounts for any consumption that exceeds the Base Demand. The prices under the contracts with Energy Plus Service Program must be approved by the relevant authorities. Unregulated customers that were unable to secure an Energy Plus Service contract are able to request CAMMESA to conduct an auction in order to satisfy their demand.

Regulation in Transmission

The transmission sector is regulated based on the principles established in Law 24,065 and the terms of the concession granted to Transener S.A. under Decree 2,743/92. Due to technological reasons, the transmission sector is heavily affected by economies of scale that limits competition. As a result, the transmission sector operates under monopoly conditions and is subject to considerable regulation.

Natural Gas Market

Since the economic emergency measures of 2002, the lack of investment in natural gas production forced the system to burn increasing amounts of liquid fuels.

The Argentine government has adopted different measures to improve the natural gas supply. Since 2004, local gas producers and the Argentine government have entered into various agreements to guarantee gas supply. The last agreement was signed in July 2009 and resulted in a 30% increase of the natural gas price for power generators until December 2009. In addition, Argentina and Bolivia entered into a 20-year agreement in 2006 that guarantees Argentina’s right to receive up to 28 million cubic meters of natural gas on a daily basis.

Table of Contents

The Electronic Gas Market (“MEG”, in its Spanish acronym) was also recently created to increase the transparency of physical and commercial operations in the spot market.

Electricity Exports and Imports

In order to give priority to the internal market supply, the Argentine Secretariat of Energy adopted additional measures that restricted electricity and gas exports. Resolution SE 949/2004 established measures that allowed agents to export and import electricity under very restricted conditions. These measures prevented generators from satisfying their export commitments.

The Argentine Secretariat of Energy published Disposition 27/2004, together with related resolutions and decrees, which created a plan to ration natural gas exports and the use of transport capacity. These measures restricted gas delivery to Chile and Brazil. These restrictions are expected to continue as Resolution Enargas 1,410, which was issued in October 2010, reinforced such restrictions on gas distribution to certain customers. Specifically, the resolution mandated that the distribution of gas be made in the following order, from highest to lowest priority: (i) residential and commercial customers, (ii) the Compressed Natural Gas market, (iii) large customers, (iv) thermal generator units, and (v) exports.

Environmental Regulation

Electricity facilities are subject to federal and local environmental laws and regulations, including Law 24,051 (“Hazardous Waste Law”) and its ancillary regulations.

Certain reporting and monitoring obligations and emission standards are imposed on the electricity sector. Failure to satisfy these requirements entitles the Argentine government to impose penalties such as suspension of operations which, in case of public services, could result in the cancellation of concessions.

Law 26,190, enacted in 2007, defined the use of non -conventional renewable energy for electricity production as a national interest and set as a target 8% market share for generation from renewable energies within a term of 10 years. During 2009, the government took actions to reach this objective by publishing Resolution 712/ 2009 and launching an international auction to promote the installation of up to 1,000 MW of renewable energy capacity. This resolution created a mechanism to sell renewable energy through fifteen-year contracts with CAMMESA under special price conditions through ENARSA. In June 2010, the “GENREN program” awarded a total of 895 MW, distributed in the following manner: 754 MW of wind power, 110 MW of bio-fuels, 11 MW of mini-hydro, and 20 MW of solar units. The prices awarded vary from US$ 150/MWh (for mini-hydro units) to US$ 598/MWh (for solar units). In 2011, the Argentine Secretariat of Energy issued Resolution 108/11, which allowed CAMMESA to sign contracts directly with generators of renewable energy on conditions similar to Resolution 712/ 2009.

Brazil

Industry Overview

Industry Structure

Brazil’s electricity industry is organized into one large interconnected electricity system, the Brazilian NIS, which comprises most of the regions of Brazil, and several other small isolated systems.

 

53


Table of Contents

The following chart shows the relationships among the various actors in the Brazilian NIS:

 

LOGO

Generation, transmission, distribution and trading are legally separated activities in Brazil.

The generation sector is organized on a competitive basis, with independent generators selling their output through private contracts with distributors, traders or unregulated customers. Differences are sold on the short-term market or spot market at the Settlement Price for the Differences (“PLD”, in its Portuguese acronym) and there is also a special mechanism between generators that seeks to re-allocate hydrological risk by offsetting differences between generators’ assured energy and that which is actually produced, called the “Electricity Re-allocation Mechanism” (“MRE”, in its Portuguese acronym).

The Brazilian Constitution was amended in 1995 to authorize foreign investment in power generation. Before, all generation concessions were held either by Brazilian individuals or entities controlled by Brazilian individuals or the Brazilian government.

The transmission sector operates under monopoly conditions. Revenues from the transmission companies are fixed by the Brazilian government. This applies to all electricity companies with transmission operations in Brazil. The transmission revenue fee is fixed and, therefore, transmission revenues do not depend on the amount of electricity transmitted.

Distribution is a public service that works under monopoly conditions and is provided by companies who have also been granted concessions. Distributors in the Brazilian NIS are not permitted to: (i) develop activities related to the generation or transmission of electricity; (ii) sell electricity to unregulated customers, except for those in their concession area and under the same conditions and tariffs maintained with respect to captive customers in the Regulated Market; (iii) hold, directly or indirectly, any interest in any other company, corporation or partnership; or (iv) develop activities that are unrelated to their respective concessions, except for those permitted by law or in the relevant concession agreement. Similarly, generators are not allowed to hold equity interests in excess of 10.0% in distributors.

The selling of electricity is governed by Law 10,848/ 2004 and Decrees 5,163/2004 and 5,177/2004 of the Electricity Trading Chamber or Clearing House (“CCEE”, in its Portuguese acronym), and ANEEL Resolution 109/2004, which introduced the Electricity Trading Convention. This is a convention in which the terms, rules and procedures of the trading in the CCEE are defined. Two possible situations were introduced by these regulations for the execution of energy sales agreements: (i) the regulated contracting environment, in which energy generation and distribution agents participate, and (ii) the free market contracting environment, in which energy generation, trading, importing and exporting agents, and unregulated customers, participate.

Commercial relations between the agents participating in the CCEE are governed mainly by energy sales agreements. All the agreements between the agents in the Brazilian NIS should be registered with the CCEE. The register includes the amounts of energy and the term. The energy prices agreed are not registered with the CCEE, but instead are specified by the parties involved in the agreements.

The CCEE books the differences between energy produced or consumed and the contracted amount. The positive or negative differences are settled in the short-term market and priced at the PLD, determined weekly for each level of load and for each sub-market, based on the system’s marginal operating cost, within a minimum and maximum price range.

Table of Contents

The unregulated market includes the sale of electricity between generation concessionaires, independent producers, self-producers, sellers of electricity, importers of electricity, unregulated, and special customers. It also includes contracts in place between generators and distributors until their expiration, at which point new contracts may be entered into under the terms of the new regulatory framework. According to the specifications set forth in Law No. 9,427/96, unregulated customers in Brazil are those who currently have: (i) a demand of at least 3,000 kW and choose to contract the energy supply directly with generators or retailers; or (ii) a demand in the range of 500-3,000 kW and choose to contract the energy supply directly with alternative generators or traders.

The Brazilian NIS is coordinated by the Brazilian Electricity System Operator (“ONS”, in its Portuguese acronym) and is divided into four electric sub-systems: South-East/Center-West, South, North-East and North. In addition to the Brazilian NIS, there are also the isolated systems that are not part of the Brazilian NIS. These isolated systems are generally located in the Northern and North-Eastern regions of Brazil and rely solely on electricity generated from coal-fired and oil-fuelled thermal plants. According to the ONS, more than 98% of the population received electricity through the public network in 2011.

Principal Regulatory Authorities

The Brazilian Ministry of Mines and Energy (“Brazilian MME”) regulates the electricity industry and its primary role is to establish the policies, guidelines and regulations for the sector.

The Brazilian National Energy Policy Council (“CNPE”, in its Portuguese acronym) is in charge of developing the national electricity policy. Among its roles are to guide the President in the formulation of energy policies and guidelines, promote the stable and secure supply of the country’s energy resources, ensure the energy supply to the most distant places of the country, establish directives for specific programs (such as the use of natural gas, alcohol, biomass, coal and thermonuclear energy), and establish directives for the import and export of energy.

The Energy Research Company (“EPE”, in its Portuguese acronym) is an entity under the Brazilian MME. Its purpose is to provide services in the area of studies and research to support the energy sector planning.

The Brazilian Governmental Agency for Electric Energy (“ANEEL”, in its Portuguese acronym) is the entity that implements the regulatory policies, and its main responsibilities include, among others: (i) supervision of the concessions for electricity sale, generation, transmission and distribution ; (ii) enactment of regulations for the electricity sector; (iii) implementation and regulation of the exploitation of electricity resources, including the use of hydroelectricity; (iv) promotion of a bidding process for new concessions; (v) resolution of administrative disputes between electricity sector agents; and (vi) setting the criteria and methodology for determining distribution and transmission tariffs, as well as the approval of all the electricity tariffs, ensuring that customers pay a fair price for energy supplied and, at the same time, preserving the economic-financial balance of the distribution companies, so that they can provide the service to agreed quality and continuity.

The Energy Sector Monitoring Committee (“CMSE”, in its Portuguese acronym) is an entity created under the scope of the Brazilian MME and is under the Brazilian MME’s direct coordination. CSME was established to evaluate the continuity and security of the energy supply across the country. CMSE has the mandate to: (i) follow the development of the energy generation, transmission, distribution, trading, import and export activities; (ii) assess the supply and customer service as well as the security of the system; (iii) identify difficulties and obstacles that affect the supply security and regularity; and (iv) recommend proposals for preventive actions that can help preserve the supply security and service.

CCEE is a non-profit company subject to authorization, inspection and regulation by ANEEL and its main purpose is to carry out the wholesale transactions and trading of electric power within the Brazilian NIS by registering the agreements resulting from market adjustments and whose agents are gathered into four categories: generation, distribution, trading and customers.

The ONS is comprised of generation, transmission and distribution companies, and independent customers, and is responsible for the coordination and control of the generation and transmission operations of the Brazilian NIS, subject to the ANEEL’s regulation and supervision.

The Electricity Law

General

Before 1993, the power tariff was the same throughout Brazil. The dealers were entitled to a guaranteed return because the regulatory regime provided for the cost of service. Concession areas that obtained a higher return than the one guaranteed deposited the surplus in a fund from which the distributors with less than the guaranteed return withdrew the difference.

Table of Contents

In 1993, the Brazilian electric sector was reformed through Law 8,631/93, which abolished the equalization of electricity tariffs system.

The Concessions Law 8,987 and the Power Sector Law 9,074, both enacted in 1995, intended to promote competition and attract private capital into the electricity sector. Since then, several assets owned by the Brazilian government and/or state governments have been privatized.

The Power Sector Law also introduced the concept of independent power producers, or IPPs, in order to open the electricity sector to private sector investment. IPPs are single agents, or agents acting in a consortium, who receive a concession, permit or authorization from the Brazilian government to produce electricity for sale for their own account.

Law 9,648/98 created the wholesale energy market, composed by the generation and distribution companies. Under this new law, the purchase and sale of electricity are freely negotiated.

The spot price is used to value the purchase and sale of electric power in the short term market. According to the law, the CCEE is responsible for setting electricity prices in the spot market. These prices are calculated on a marginal costs basis, modeling future operation conditions and setting a merit order curve with variable costs for thermal units and opportunity cost for hydroelectric plants, resulting in one price for each subsystem set for the week subsequent to the determination.

Pursuant to Law 10,433/02, the wholesale energy market structure came to be closely regulated and monitored by ANEEL. ANEEL is also responsible for setting wholesale energy market governance rules including measures to stimulate permanent external investment.

During 2003 and 2004, the Brazilian government established the basis for a new model for the Brazilian electricity sector through Laws 10,847 and 10,848 of March 15, 2004, and Decree 5,163 of July 30, 2004. The principal objectives of these laws and decrees were to (i) guarantee the security of the electricity supply, (ii) promote the reasonability of tariffs, and (iii) improve social integration in the Brazilian electricity sector through programs designed to provide universal access to electricity.

The new model contemplates a series of measures to be followed by the agents, such as the obligation to contract all the demand of the distributors and unregulated customers. It also defines a new methodology for calculating the physical energy guarantee for sale of generation, contracting hydroelectric and thermal generating plants in proportions that ensure the best balance between guarantee and supply cost, plus the constant monitoring of the continuity and security of supply, seeking to detect occasional imbalances between supply and demand.

In terms of the tariffs’ reasonability, the model contemplates the purchase of electricity by distributors in a regulated environment through tenders in which the principle of lowest tariff is observed. As a result, the cost of acquiring electricity to be passed on to captive customers can be reduced. The new model creates conditions for the benefits of electricity made available to customers who do not yet have this service and for guaranteeing a subsidy for low income customers.

Limits and Restrictions

Regulatory Resolution 299/2008 repeals certain sections of ANEEL Resolution 278/2000, which established the limits and conditions for the participation of electricity distributors and traders. The section of Resolution 278/2000 relating to limits on generation remains in effect and establishes that (i) an entity cannot have more than a 20% participation in the installed capacity, (ii) an entity may not have more than a 25% participation in the installed capacity of the electricity system of the South, South East and Center West regions, and (iii) an entity may not have more than a 35% participation in the installed capacity in the North and North East regions.

Section 7 of Resolution 278/2000, which defines that a distribution-concession company may only own up to 30% of the energy required to meet their captive demand from related companies, has also been retained.

Regulation of Generation Companies

Concessions

The Concessions Law provides that, upon receiving a concession, IPPs, self-producers, suppliers and customers will have access to the distribution and transmission systems owned by other concessionaires, provided that they are reimbursed for their costs as determined by ANEEL.

Table of Contents

Companies or consortia that intend to build or operate hydroelectric generation facilities with a capacity exceeding 30 MW or transmission networks in Brazil have to resort to a public tender process. Concessions granted to the holder give the right to generate, transmit or distribute electricity, as the case may be, in a given concession area for a certain period of time.

Concessions are limited to 35 years for new generation concessions and to 30 years for new transmission or distribution concessions. Existing concessions may be renewed at the Brazilian government’s discretion for a period equal to their initial term.

In September 2012, ANEEL published Provisional Resolution 579 which establishes the criteria for the renewal of generation, transmission and distribution concessions that expire between 2015 and 2017. It foresees the reduction of energy tariffs and indemnities for non-depreciated investments in hydroelectric plants and transmission installations. In addition, Provisional Resolution 577 defines procedures for the temporary provision of the electricity energy service in the case of cancellation of concessions due to management problems. It also reinforces the powers of ANEEL to intervene in the case of economic-financial imbalance in order to avoid affecting the service provided.

On January 23, 2013, the Brazilian Congress approved Law 12,783, which renewed electricity concessions according to Provisional Resolution 579. This law requires companies to reduce the average electricity tariff by 20.2% from February, 2013 and to extend generation, transmission and distribution concessions for up to 30 years, for both hydroelectric and thermal plants, which expire between 2015 and 2017.

Dispatch and Pricing (Settlement Price for the Differences (“PLD”))

PLD is used to value the purchase and the sale of electric power in the short term market. The price-setting process of the electric power traded in the short-term market is accomplished by using the data employed by the ONS to optimize the operation of the Brazilian NIS.

The mathematical models used to compute the PLD takes into account the preponderance of hydro-electric plants within the Brazilian power generation grid. The purpose is to find an optimal equilibrium solution between the current benefit obtained from the use of the water and the future benefit resulting from its storage, measured in terms of the savings from the use of fuels for thermal plants.

The PLD is an amount computed on a weekly basis for each load level based on the Marginal Operational Cost, which in turn is limited by a maximum and minimum price in effect for each period and submarket. The intervals set for the duration of each level are determined by the ONS for each month and reported to the CCEE to be included into the accounting and settlement system.

The model used to compute the PLD seeks to achieve an optimal result for the period being studied and to define both the hydroelectric and thermal power generation for each submarket by taking into account the hydrological conditions, the demand for electric power, the prices of fuel, the cost of the deficit, the entry of new projects into operation and the availability of equipment used for generation and transmission. As result of this process, the Marginal Operational Costs can be obtained for each load level and submarket.

The calculation of the price is based on the “ex-ante” dispatch that is determined based on estimated information existing prior to the actual operation of the system, taking into account the declared availability amounts regarding both the generation and the consumption envisaged for each submarket. The complete process for calculating the PLD involves the use of the computational models NEWAVE and DECOMP. These models are used to calculate the Marginal Operational Cost for each submarket on a monthly and weekly basis.

Electricity Re-allocation Mechanism (“MRE”)

The Electricity Re-allocation Mechanism provides financial protection against hydrological risks for hydro-generators in order to mitigate the shared hydrological risks that affect generators and assure the optimal use of the hydroelectric resources of the interconnected power system.

The mechanism guarantees that despite of the centralized dispatch all the generators that participate in the MRE will have a participation in the overall hydro generation dispatched in the proportion of its assured energy. The value of the final allocated energy to a generator can be greater or less than its assured energy depending if the overall hydro generation is greater or less than the overall hydro assured energy, respectively. This mechanism permits that each generator before buying energy in the spot market to accomplish with its contracts, be able to buy cheaper energy with price covers the incremental costs of operation and maintenance of hydroelectric plants and the payment of financial use of water compensation. The tariff used for trading energy in the MRE, the Optimum Energy Tariff , was set as R$ 10.01/MWh for 2013.

As the overall generation is more stable then the individual production, the MRE is a very efficient mechanism to reduce the volatility of the individual production and the hydrological risk.

Therefore the energy contracts are only financial instruments in the Brazilian system and generation is totally disassociated from the energy contracts.

Sales between the Agents of the Market

The current model for the electric sector states that the trading of electric power is accomplished in two market environments: the Regulated Contracting Environment (“ACR”, in its Portuguese acronym) and the Free-Market Contracting Environment (“ACL”, in its Portuguese acronym).

Contracting in the ACR is formalized by means of regulated, bilateral agreements, called Electric Power Trading Agreements within the Regulated Environment (“CCEAR”, in its Portuguese acronym) entered into between Selling Agents (sellers, generators, independent producers or self-producers) and Purchasing Agents (distributors) who participate in electric power purchase and sale auctions.

In the ACL environment, on the other hand, the negotiation among the Generating Agents, Trading Agents, Free-Market Customers, Importers and Exporters of electric power is accomplished freely, whereby the agreements for the purchase and sale of electric power are entered into through bilateral agreements.

Generation agents, regardless of whether they are public generation concessionaires, IPPs, self-producers or Trading Agents, are allowed to sell electric power within the two environments. This allows the overall market to remain competitive. All agreements that have been entered into in the ACR or the ACL are registered in the CCEE and they serve as a basis for the accounting posting and the settlement of the differences in the short term market.

Sales by Generation Companies to Unregulated Customers

In the unregulated contracting environment, the conditions for purchasing energy are negotiable between suppliers and their customers. As for the regulated environment, where distribution companies operate, the purchase of energy must be conducted pursuant to a bidding process coordinated by ANEEL. In 2012, the Brazilian MME published its Decree 455 which mandates the creation of a prices index and a requirement to register energy contracts ex-ante. According to the internal schedule of the CCEE, the new price index is expected to be published on or around January 2014. It is expected that this index will be subject to internal tests over a six month period before being officially published in the market.

Sales by Distribution Companies and Regulated Customers

Pursuant to market regulations, 100% of the energy demand from distributors must be satisfied through long-term contracts. Contracts must be renewed or newly entered into prior to the expiration of current contracts.

Tenders under the current regulatory environment are as follows: (i) Tenders A-5, corresponding to tenders for energy purchases from new generation sources to be supplied five years following the tender; (ii) Tenders A-3, for the acquisition of energy from new generation sources; (iii) Tenders A- 1, for the acquisition of energy from existing generation sources; and (iv) adjustment tenders, for supplementing the energy load necessary for servicing customers in the distribution concession market, with a limit of 1% of such load. Reserve tenders are also carried out for increasing the security of the system.

Various energy tenders were held during 2011, including a Tender A-3 and a reserve tender completed in August and a Tender A-5 in December.

In the A-3 tender process for the supply of 2014, 2,744.6 MW of new capacity was assigned and is to be generated by 51 plants. Of the total contracted, 62% was from renewable sources (hydroelectric, wind and biomass) and the remaining 38% from fossil fuels (natural gas).

The tender for reserve energy in August 2011 assigned 1,218.1 MW. These were from wind farm, thermal and biomass projects, involving a total of 41 generating plants. The average price was R$ 99.61/MWh.

For the new A-5 tender process carried out in December 2011, 42 projects were assigned with a capacity of 1,211.5 MW at an average price of R$ 102.18/MWh.

Table of Contents

For 2012, two tenders were planned. A Tender A-3 for December 12, 2012 was cancelled due to the low demand of distributors. A Tender A-5 for new energy was held on December 14, 2012. Of the 574.3 MW of total installed capacity up for tender, 303.5 MW was allocated. The weighted average price was fixed in R$ 91.25/MWh. Of the total energy allocated, 294.2 MW was allocated to two hydroelectric plants (at an average price of R$ 93.46/MWh) and 281.9 MW was allocated to ten windfarms (at an average price of R$ 87.94/MWh).

Sales of Capacity to Other Generation Companies

Generators can sell their energy to other generators through direct negotiation at freely-agreed prices and conditions.

Incentives and Penalties

Another change imposed on the electricity sector is the separation of the bidding process for “existing power” and “new power” projects. The Brazilian government believes that a “new power project” needs more favorable contractual conditions such as long term power purchase agreements (15 years for thermal and 30 years for hydro) and certain price levels for each technology in order to promote investment for the required expansion. On the other hand, “existing power,” which includes depreciated power plants, can sell their energy at lower prices under contracts with shorter terms.

Law 10,438/02 created certain incentive programs for the use of alternative sources in the generation of electricity, known under the name of Proinfa. It assures the purchase of the electricity generated by Eletrobras for a period of 20 years and financial support from the Banco Nacional do Desenvolvimento, or BNDES, a state-owned development bank. Other programs include a discount of up to 50% on the distribution or transmission tariffs and a special exception for the customers with electricity demand in the range of 500-3,000 kW who decide to migrate to an unregulated environment, provided that such customers purchase electricity from generating companies using non-conventional sources of electricity.

Selling agents are responsible to pay the buying agent if they are unable to satisfy their delivery obligations. ANEEL regulations set forth the fines applicable to electricity agents based on the nature and the materiality of the violation (including warnings, fines, temporary suspension of the right to participate in bids for new concessions, licenses or authorizations and forfeiture). For each violation, fines may be imposed for up to 2% of the concessionaire’s revenues arising from the sale of electricity and services provided (net of taxes) in the 12-month period immediately preceding any assessment notice.

ANEEL may also impose restrictions on the terms and conditions of agreements between related parties and, under extreme circumstances, terminate such agreements.

Decree 5,163/2004 establishes that the selling agents must assure 100% physical coverage for their energy and power contracts. This coverage must be made up of physical guarantees from its own power plants or through the purchase of energy or power contracts from third parties.

Among other aspects, ANEEL’s Normative Resolution 109/2004 specifies that when these limits are not met, the generation companies and traders are subject to financial penalties. The determination of penalties is predicated on a 12-month period and the revenues obtained from the levying of the penalties are reverted to tariff modality within the ACR.

If the limits on contracting and physical coverage defined in the Trading Rules are not met, the relevant generation companies and traders are notified by the Superintendent of CCEE. Pursuant to the specific Trading Procedure, CCEE’s agents are allowed to file an appeal to be evaluated by CCEE’s Board of Directors who then decides whether to collect or to cancel the financial penalty.

Generation agents may sell power through contracts signed within the ACR or the ACL. Public Service Generators and IPPs must provide a physical coverage from their own power generation for 100% of their sales contracts. Self-producers generate energy for their own exclusive use and they may sell excess power through contracts with ANEEL’s authorization. In both cases, the verification of physical coverage is accomplished on a monthly basis, predicated on generation data and on sales contracts for the last 12 months. Generation agents must pay penalties if they fail to provide physical coverage.

Regulation in Transmission

Transmission lines in Brazil are usually very long, since most hydroelectric plants are usually located away from the large centers of power consumption. Today, the country’s system is almost entirely interconnected. Only the states of Amazonas, Roraima, Acre, Amapá, Rondônia and a part of Pará are still not linked up to the Interconnected power system. In these states, supply is carried out by small thermal plants or hydroelectric plants located close to their respective capital cities, but the Brazilian government is gradually connecting these areas.

 

59


Table of Contents

The interconnected power system provides for the exchange of power among the different regions when any region faces problems generating hydroelectric power due to a drop in its reservoir levels. As the rainy seasons are different in the south, southeast, north and northeast of Brazil, the higher voltage transmission lines (500 kV or 750 kV) make it possible for locations with insufficient power output to be supplied by generating centers that are in a more favorable location.

Any electric power market agent that produces or consumes power is entitled to use the Basic Network. Free-market customers also have this right, provided that they comply with certain technical and legal requirements. This is called free access and is guaranteed by law and by ANEEL.

The operation and management of the Basic Network is the responsibility of ONS, which is also responsible for managing energy dispatched from plants in optimized conditions, involving use of the interconnected power system hydroelectric reservoirs and thermal plants’ fuel.

Environmental Regulation

The Brazilian Constitution gives the federal, state and local governments power to enact laws designed to protect the environment, and to issue regulations under such laws. While the Brazilian government is empowered to enact environmental regulations, the state governments are usually more stringent. Most of the environmental regulations in Brazil are at the state and local level rather than at the federal level.

Hydroelectric facilities are required to obtain concessions for water rights and environmental approvals. Thermal electricity generation, transmission and distribution companies are required to obtain environmental approvals from environmental regulatory authorities.

Colombia

Industry Overview

Industry Structure

The Wholesale Electricity Market in Colombia (“Colombian MEM”, in its Spanish acronym) is based on a competitive market model and operates under open access principles. The Colombian government participates in this market through an institutional structure that is responsible for setting forth policies and regulations, as well as for exercising supervision and control powers in respect of market participants. The Colombian MEM relies for its effective operation on a central agency known as the Colombian Administrator of the Commercial Exchange System (“ASIC”, in its Spanish acronym).

The Colombian National Interconnected Electric System (“Colombian NIS”) includes generation plants, the interconnection grid, regional transmission lines, distribution lines and end-customers.

There are two categories of agents, generators and traders, who are allowed to buy and sell electricity as well as related products in the Colombian MEM. All of the electricity supply offered by generation companies connected to the Colombian NIS and all of the electricity requirements of end-customers, whose demand is represented by trading companies, are traded on the Colombian MEM.

Table of Contents

The following chart shows the relationships among the various actors in the Colombian MEM:

 

LOGO

Generation activity consists of the production of electricity through hydroelectric, thermoelectric and all other generation units connected to the Colombian NIS. The generation sector is organized on a competitive basis, with independent generators selling their output on the spot market or through private contracts with large customers. Generation companies are required to participate in the Colombian MEM with all of their generation plants or units connected to the Colombian NIS with generating capacities equivalent to or exceeding 20 MW. Generation companies declare their energy availability and the price at which they are willing to sell it. This electricity is centrally dispatched by the National Dispatch Center (“CND”, in its Spanish acronym).

Trading consists of intermediation between the players that provide electricity generation, transmission and distribution services and the customers of these services, whether or not that activity is carried out together with other electricity-sector activities.

Electricity transactions in the Colombian MEM are carried out under the three following modes:

1. Energy spot market: short term daily market

2. Bilateral contracts: long term market; and

3. “Firm Energy”.

“Firm Energy” refers to the maximum electric energy that a generation plant is able to deliver on a continual basis during a year, in extreme conditions of hydro inflows. The generator who acquires a Firm Energy Commitment (“OEF”, in its Spanish acronym) will receive a fixed remuneration during the commitment period, which is explained in the “Incentives and Penalties” section below.

Transmission works under monopoly conditions and with a guaranteed annual fixed income that is determined by the new replacement value of the networks and equipment and by the resulting value of bidding processes awarding new projects for the expansion of the National Transmission System (“NTS”). This value is allocated among the traders of the NTS in proportion to their energy demand.

Distribution is defined as the operation of local networks below 220 kV. Any customer may have access to a distribution network for which it pays a connection charge.

There is one interconnected system, the Colombian NIS, and several isolated regional and smaller systems that provide electricity to specific areas. According to the World Energy Council 93.6% of the Colombian population in 2012 received electricity through the public network.

Principal Regulatory Authorities

The Colombian Ministry of Mines and Energy (“Colombian MME”) is responsible for the policy-making of the electricity sector, which aims for a better use of the mining and energy resources available in Colombia, and in turn contributes to the country’s social and economic development.

The Colombian Mining and Energy Planning Agency (“UPME”, in its Spanish acronym) is in charge of planning the expansion of the generation and transmission networks.

The National Council for Economic and Social Policy (“CONPES”, in its Spanish acronym) is the highest national planning authority and works as an advisory entity to the government in all aspects related to the Colombia’s economic and social development. It coordinates and directs the entities responsible for economic and social direction, through the study and approval of documents on policy development.

The National Planning Department (“DNP”, in its Spanish acronym) performs the functions of Executive Secretariat of the CONPES and is therefore the entity responsible for coordinating and presenting the documents for discussion at meetings.

The Energy and Gas Regulatory Commission (“CREG”, in its Spanish acronym) implements the principles of the industry set out by the Colombian Electricity Act. This commission is constituted by five experts named by the Colombian President, the Colombian MME, the Colombian Ministry of Public Credit and the director of the DNP or their delegates. Such principles are: efficiency (the correct allocation and use of resources and the supply of electricity at minimum cost); quality (compliance with technical requirements); continuity (continuous electricity supply without unjustified interruptions); adaptability (the incorporation of modern technology and administrative systems to promote quality and efficiency); neutrality (impartial treatment of all electricity customers); solidarity (the provision of funds by high-income customers to subsidize the subsistence consumption of low-income customers); and fairness (an adequate and nondiscriminatory supply of electricity to all regions and sectors of the country).

CREG is empowered to issue regulations that govern technical and commercial operations and to set charges for regulated activities. CREG’s main functions are to establish conditions for gradual deregulation of the electricity sector toward an open and competitive market, approve charges for transmission and distribution networks and for regulated customers, establish the methodology for calculating maximum tariffs for supplying the regulated market, regulations for planning and coordination of operations of the Colombian NIS, technical requirements for quality, reliability and security of supply, and protection of customers’ rights.

The National Operation Council (“CNO”, in its Spanish acronym) is responsible for establishing technical standards to facilitate the efficient integration and operation of the Colombian NIS. It is a consultative entity composed of the CND’s Director and generation, transmission and distribution company representatives.

The Commercialization Advisory Committee (“CAC”) is an advisory entity which assists CREG with the commercial aspects of the Colombian MEM.

The Superintendency of Industry and Commerce investigates, corrects and sanctions restrictive commercial competition practices, such as antitrust behavior. It also oversees mergers of companies operating in the same productive activities to prevent excessive concentration or monopoly of certain industries.

The Superintendency of Domestic Public Services (“SSPD”, in its Spanish acronym) is responsible for overseeing all public utility services companies. The SSPD monitors the efficiency of all utility companies and the quality of services. The SSPD can also assume control over utility companies when the availability of utility services or the viability of such companies is at risk. Other duties include (i) enforcing regulations, imposing penalties and generally overseeing the financial and administrative performance of public utility companies, (ii) providing accounting norms and rules for public service companies, and (iii) in general, organizing information networks and databases pertaining to public utilities.

The Electricity Law

General

In 1994, the Colombian Congress passed significant reforms affecting the public utilities industry. These reforms, contained in Law 142, known as the Public Utility Services Law (“LSPD”, in its Spanish acronym), and Law 143, were the result of constitutional amendments made in 1991. These laws form the basic legal framework that currently governs the electricity sector in Colombia. The most significant reforms included the opening of the electricity industry to private sector participation, the functional segregation of

 

62


Table of Contents

the electricity sector into four distinct activities (generation, transmission, distribution and trading), the creation of an open and competitive wholesale electricity market, the regulation of transmission and distribution activities as regulated monopolies and the adoption of universal access principles applicable to transmission and distribution networks.

The Colombian Electricity Act regulates electricity generation, trading, transmission, and distribution (collectively, the “Activities”). Under the law, any company existing before 1994, domestic or foreign, may undertake any of the Activities. Companies established subsequent to such date can engage exclusively in only one of such Activities. Trading, however, can be combined with either generation or distribution.

Limits and Restrictions

The market share for generators and traders is limited. The limit for generators is 25% of the Colombian system’s Firm Energy. The principal market share metric used by CREG to regulate the generation market is the percentage of Firm Energy that a market participant holds.

Additionally, if an electricity generation company’s share of Colombia’s total Firm Energy ranges from 25% to 30% and the market’s Herfindahl Hirschman Index (“IHH”, in its Spanish acronym), a measure of market concentration, is at least 1,800, such company becomes subject to monitoring by the SSPD. If an electricity generation company’s share of Colombia’s total Firm Energy exceeds 30%, such company may be required to sell its share exceeding the 25% threshold.

Similarly, a trader may not account for more than 25% of the trading activity in the Colombian NIS. Limitations for traders take into account international energy sales. Market share is calculated on a monthly basis according to the trader’s commercial demand and traders have up to six months to reduce their market share when the limit is exceeded.

Such limits are applied to economic groups, including companies that are controlled by, or under common control with, other companies. In addition, generators may not own more than a 25% interest in a distributor, and vice versa. However, this limitation only applies to individual companies and does not preclude cross-ownership by companies within the same corporate group.

A distribution company can have more than 25% of an integrated company’s equity if the market share of the latter company is less than 2% of the national generation business. A company created before the enactment of Law 143 is prohibited from merging with another company created after Law 143 came into effect.

A generator, distributor, trader or an integrated company (i.e., a firm combining generation, transmission and distribution activities) cannot own more than 15% of the equity in a transmission company if the latter represents more than 2% of the national transmission business in terms of revenues.

Regulation of Generation Companies

Concessions

The Colombian electricity sector was structurally reformed by Laws 142 and 143 of 1994. Under this new legal structure, economic activities related to the provision of the electricity service are governed by the constitutional principles of free market economic activity, free market private initiative, freedom to enter and leave, corporate freedom, free market competition and private property, with regulation and inspection, surveillance and control by the state.

According to Law 143 of 1994, these constitutional principles of freedom are the general rule in the electricity sector business, while the concession is the exception. Different economic, public, private or mixed agents may participate in the sector’s activities, which agents shall enjoy the freedom to develop their functions in a context of free market competition. In order to operate or start up projects, they must obtain from the competent authorities the necessary environmental, sanitation and water-right permits as well as other municipal permits and licenses. All economic agents may construct generation plants and their respective connection lines to the interconnection and transmission networks.

The Colombian government cannot legally participate in the execution and exploitation of generation projects. As a general rule, such projects are to be carried out by the private sector. The Colombian government is only authorized to sign concession agreements relating to generation when there is no entity prepared to assume these activities on comparable conditions.

Dispatch and Pricing

The purchase and sale of electricity can take place between generators, distributors acting in their capacity as traders, traders (who do not generate or distribute electricity) and unregulated customers. There are no restrictions for new entrants into the market as long as the participants comply with the applicable laws and regulations.

The Colombian MEM facilitates the sale of excess energy that has not been committed under contracts. In the wholesale market, an hourly spot price for all dispatched units is established based on the offer price of the highest priced energy dispatched unit for that period. The CND receives price bids each day from all the generators participating in the Colombian MEM. These bids indicate prices and the hourly available capacity for the following day. Based on this information, the CND, guided by an “optimal dispatch” principle (which assumes an infinite transmission capacity through the network), ranks the dispatch optimized during the 24-hour period, taking into account initial operating conditions, and determining which generators will be dispatched the following day in order to satisfy expected demand. The price for all generators is set as the most expensive generator dispatched in each hourly period under the optimal dispatch. This price-ranking system is intended to ensure that national demand, increased by the total amount of energy exported to other countries, will be satisfied at the lowest cost combination of available generating units in the country.

Additionally, the CND plans for the dispatch, which takes into account the limitations of the network, as well as other conditions necessary to satisfy the energy demand expected for the following day in a safe, reliable and cost-efficient manner. The cost differences between the “planned dispatch” and the “optimal dispatch” are called “restriction costs.” The net value of such restriction costs is assigned proportionally to all the traders within the Colombian NIS, according to their energy demand, and these costs are passed through to the end customers. Some generators have initiated legal proceedings against the government arguing that recognized prices do not fully cover the costs associated with these restrictions on the grounds that current regulations do not take into account all the costs incurred under safely reliable generation. However, from CREG’s point of view, Resolution 036 of 2010 modified the remuneration of these restrictions for hydro plants by assigning the opportunity cost to the spot price.

In July 2012, CREG published Resolution 076-2012 (“Statute for situations of scarcity in the MEM as part of the operative regulations”) that proposed a draft resolution for defining the rules of operation under critical supply conditions . The deadline for consultations was extended and the project was republished in December 2012 according to Resolution 150-2012. The new deadline to submit comments or observations was February 18, 2013 but the final publication date is still unknown. The proposal is essentially a market intervention scheme that seeks to ensure the care of the demand in critical situations.

Sales by Generation Companies to Unregulated Customers

In the unregulated market, generation companies and unregulated customers sign contracts in which terms and prices are freely agreed. Typically, these agreements establish that the customer pays the energy that it consumes each month without a cap or a floor. The prices are fixed in Colombian pesos indexed monthly to the Colombian PPI. According to resolution CREG 131 of 1998, to be considered “unregulated,” customers are required to have an average monthly power demand for six months of at least 0.1 MW, or a minimum of 55 MWh in monthly average energy demand over the prior six months.

Sales by Distribution Companies to Regulated Customers

The regulated market is served by traders and by distributors acting as traders, who bill all service costs, according to prices regulated by CREG. The scheme allows distributors to pass through the average purchase price of all the market transactions that affect the regulated market into the clients’ tariff, thereby mitigating spot price volatility and providing an efficiency signal to the market. Additionally, CREG established a formula for the total cost of service, which transfers transmission, distribution, marketing costs, and physical losses costs to the regulated market.

Sales by Generation Companies to Traders for the Regulated market

Traders in the regulated market are required to buy energy through procedures that ensure free market competition. For evaluating the bids, the buyer takes into account price factors as well as other technical conditions and commercial objectives to be defined before the contracting process. These agreements can be signed with different terms, such as: “Pay amount contracted,” “Pay amount demanded with or without a limit,” “Pay the percentage actually consumed,” etc. Prices are denominated in Colombian pesos indexed monthly to the Colombian CPI.

Sales to Other Generation Companies

Generators can sell their energy to other generators through direct negotiation, at freely negotiated prices and conditions.

Regulatory Charges

Contribution by generation per Law 99 of 1993: Generation companies are obliged to pay monthly payments based on their generation to the regional autonomous corporations for environmental protection in areas where the plants are located and to the municipalities where the generation plants are situated. For more information, see “— Environmental Regulation” below.

Generation contribution to the Financial Support Fund for Energy for Unconnected Zones (“FAZNI”, in its Spanish acronym): Law 633 of 2000 (tax reform) states that generators must make a contribution of CP 1 to the FAZNI for every kilowatt dispatched on the Wholesale Energy Exchange. Initially, this requirement was effective until December 31, 2007 but it was extended to 2014 by Law 2,099 of November 2006.

Incentives and Penalties

Generators connected to the Colombian NIS can also receive “reliability payments” which are a result of the OEF that they provide to the system. The OEF is a commitment on the part of generation companies backed by its physical resource capable of producing firm energy during scarcity periods. The generator that acquires an OEF will receive a fixed compensation during the commitment period, whether or not the fulfillment of its obligation is required. To receive reliability payments, generators have to participate in firm energy bids by declaring and certifying such firm energy. Until November 2012, the transition period, the firm energy supply for reliability purposes was assigned proportionally to the declared firm energy of each generator. Beyond the transition period, the additional firm energy required by the system is allocated by bids.

During 2011, CREG published resolutions for the assignment of OEF for the periods from December 2014 to November 2015 and from December 2015 to November 2016. For the first of these periods, the OEF assigned this pro rata to the existing generators while, for the second, it carried out a second tender for the electricity sector on December 27, 2011. The new resolutions include incentives for thermal plants that back up their OEF with imported natural gas to guarantee its OEF for 10 years, from December 2014.

The tender for firm energy for the period from November 2015 to December 2016 was made on December 27, 2011. Seven companies participated with a total of eight projects of which five were assigned at a price of US$ 15.7/MWh. The new projects are Río Ambeima (hydro, 45 MW), Carlos Lleras Restrepo (hydro, 78 MW), San Miguel (hydro, 42 MW), Gecelca 32 (thermal, 250 MW) and Tasajero 2 (thermal, 160 MW). The new assignments were made for a period of twenty years as of December 1, 2015.

In addition, on January 26, 2012, the auction was concluded for projects with long construction periods (“GPPS”) which assigned OEFs for a period of twenty years to three hydroelectric projects and one thermal project. Two of these were assigned to new plants : Termonorte which will have a capacity of 88 MW by 2017 and the Porvenir II hydroelectric power plant which will have a capacity of 352 MW by 2018. The other two involved increases in OEF for plants already under construction and had available firm energy following the GPPS process carried out in 2008 (Sogamoso and Pescadero-Ituango hydroelectric plants). The process ended with assignment prices below the maximum defined for the auction in December (US$ 15.7/MWh), and were in connection with Termonorte (US$ 14.9/MWh); Porvenir II (US$ 11.7/MWh); Sogamoso and Pescadero-Ituango (US$ 15.7/MWh).

CREG regulated the reconfiguration auction scheme, under the methodology of reliability charge that allowed agents to change the beginning of the OEF by renouncing the “reliability payments” and paying a premium. XM published the results of the auction sale reconfiguration of OEF and Termocol, Amoya and Gecelca were the participating companies.

During 2012 CREG also issued the statement regarding OEF allocation for the period from December 2016 to November 2017. CREG indicated that (i) a tender for OEF allocation was not necessary due to the conditions of the system and (ii) the assignment schedule will be published once there is greater certainty with regards the dates for execution of the Colombia-Panama interconnection agreement and the processes for importing natural gas. CREG’s Circular 045 states that this publication will be made after June 30, 2014.

Despite such statement, a tender was finalized in July 2012 for the reconfiguration of the OEF for the period from December 2012 to November 2013. The OEF was allocated to Termocol, which owns the Poliobras project (4.5 GWh per day) and to Amoyá, which owns the Isagen project (0.5 GWh per day). Such tenders are called when previously allocated OEFs exceed the projected demand for a certain period. The tender ended with a price margin of US$ 0.6 per MWh, which is over the reliability load price for the period from December 2012 to November 2013.

Electricity Exports and Imports

Decision CAN 536 of 2002, CAN 720 of 2009, and CAN 757 of 2011, signed by the countries that participate in the Andean Nations Community (“CAN”, in its Spanish acronym), Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia and Peru, established the general framework for

the interconnection of electrical systems that created a coordinated economic dispatch for the countries involved in the interconnections. Under this framework, the interconnection system between Colombia and Ecuador was inaugurated in March 2003. The two countries adopted a transitional regime pursuant to CAN 757, while adopting common standards in order to make such international transactions viable.

In addition to the interconnection with Ecuador Colombia is also interconnected with Venezuela by three links, the most important being the Cuestecitas-Cuatricentenario line. During 2011 and 2012, there were some transfers of energy made from Colombia to Venezuela, due to shortages in Venezuela, over this line under an agreement between the presidents of both nations. The agreement covers estimated transactions of 30 GWh/month, with a demand of 70 MW in periods of low and medium load and of 140 MW in periods of high load. The contract was signed on February 1, 2013 for a term of eleven months and was formalized by a contract between Isagen (Colombia) and Corpoelec (Venezuela).

There is also an energy interconnection project with Venezuela, carried out by the Institute of Planning and Promotion of Energy Solutions for Non-Interconnected Zones (“IPSE”, in its Spanish acronym) pursuant to an agreement between Colombia and Venezuela. Under the terms of this agreement, Colombia will sell electricity to Venezuela at a rate that is much cheaper than the costs it incurred. Venezuela is expected to pay for the electricity in fuels rather than cash. This interconnection project is estimated to cost US$ 8 billion and contemplates the construction of a 35.6 km transmission line with a capacity of 34,500 volts in order to supply electricity to the region of San Fernando de Atabapo, Venezuela.

In the first half of 2012, CREG and the National Public Services Authority of Panama (“ASEP”, in its Spanish acronym) issued resolutions that provided for enhancing the process for tendering of rights to construct the future interconnection line between Colombia and Panama.

The resolutions also complement pre-existing resolutions by providing for provisions that allow Panamanian distribution companies to participate in future tenders in Colombia. The most important resolutions issued by Colombia are (i) CREG-002-2012, which attempts to resolve the discrepancies between firm capacity in Panama and the OEF in Colombia; (ii) CREG-004-2012, which outlines the exchanges in conditions of rationing; and (iii) CREG 057-2012, which is an operative agreement between the operators of the systems of Colombia and Panama. Panama has also issued parallel resolutions that enable Colombian companies to participate in tenders in Panama as International Interconnection Agents.

Emgesa, Isagen, Celsia and its subsidiary EPSA participated in the tender process to obtain line capacity rights in Panama that took place in August 21, 2012. These companies were able to participate in the tender by forming subsidiaries in Panama and complying with all requirements under Panamanian law, including the provisions relating to guarantees.

In June 2012, Interconexión Eléctrica Colombia-Panamá (“ICP”), which is jointly owned by Interconexión Eléctrica de Colombia (ISA) and the state-owned Empresa de Transmisión Eléctrica de Panamá (“ETESA”), was entrusted with the construction of an interconnection project and was allowed to join the tender for capacity rights. ICP submitted the base amount that is necessary to participate in the tender and proceeded to obtain prequalifications in July and August. However, the tender process was suspended indefinitely on August 19, 2012. This was primarily due to financial reasons as the Panamanian Government, citing budget constraints, refused to provide a firm commitment to contribute capital.

ICP is expected to continue to seek financial support in order to ensure the viability of the project and reduce uncertainties for the participants. With the support from the Interamerican Development Bank (“IDB”), ICP has hired a consultant to carry out a study that will explore alternatives plans that would result in more competitive energy prices and greater business opportunities. The Colombian government is also in conversations with its Panamanian counterpart in order to restart the process.

In November 2012, the Declaration of Santiago was signed by Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia. The main purpose of this declaration was to facilitate regional electricity transaction by harmonizing regulatory frameworks of the member countries.

Gas Market

Natural gas is important for the Colombian electricity sector as natural gas is a key fuel for generation. The Colombian natural gas market operates under monopolistic conditions and basically consists of a primary market, secondary market and one short-term market. Supply contracts and transportation contracts are traded under bilateral negotiation schemes or through auctions.

As a result CREG is considering a proposal to promote competition between agents. The proposal seeks to reform the wholesale market for natural gas and ensure that it operates under the principles of transparency and liquidity. The proposal also outlines entities that are eligible to participate in each market, the types of permitted transactions and the kind of contracts that may be entered into. It even seeks to create standardized force majeure provisions for such contracts in order to clarify the responsibilities of the parties. The proposal is expected to be take effect during 2013.

Regulation in Transmission

Transmission companies which operate at no less than 220 kV constitute the National Transmission System, or NTS. They are required to provide access to third parties on equal conditions and are authorized to collect a tariff for their services. The transmission tariff includes a connection charge that covers the cost of operating the facilities, and a usage charge, which applies only to traders.

CREG guarantees an annual fixed income to transmission companies. Income is determined by the new replacement value of the network and equipment and by the resulting value of bidding processes awarding new projects for the expansion of the NTS. This value is allocated among the traders of the NTS in proportion to their energy demand.

The expansion of the NTS is conducted according to model expansion plans designed by the Mining and Energy Planning Agency (“UPME”, in its Spanish acronym) and pursuant to bidding processes opened to existing and new transmission companies, which are handled by the Colombian MME in accordance with the guidelines set by CREG. The construction, operation and maintenance of new projects is awarded to the company that offers the lowest present value of future cash flows needed for carrying out the project.

In 2012, CREG established the new quality of service regulation for the NTS. It defined incentives for Non-Provided Energy, so companies compensate customers by diminishing their charges, according to the service interruptions in the NTS.

In 2012, the UPME also developed processes to select investors for an interconnection project that will connect some of futures generating plants. Processes performed were: UPME 02-2010 Termocol, UPME 01-2010 Alferez, UPME 05-2009 Quimbo and UPME 02-2009 Armenia. EEB was awarded in 2012 the UPME-05-2009 tender within this scheme for the design, procurement, construction, operation and maintenance of the Quimbo 230 KV substation. This new electricity interconnection project is part of the expansion of the NTS and will strengthen the electricity service in the southwest of the country.

Trading Regulation

The retail market is divided into regulated and unregulated customers. Customers in the unregulated market may freely and directly enter into electricity supply contracts with a generator or a distributor, acting as traders, or from a pure trader. The unregulated customer, which for 2012 represented about 34% of the market, consists of customers with a peak demand in excess of 0.1 MW or a minimum monthly energy consumption of 55 MWh.

Trading involves reselling the electricity purchased in the wholesale market. It may be conducted by generators, distributors or independent agents, which comply with certain requirements. Parties freely agree upon trading prices for unregulated customers.

Trading on behalf of regulated customers is subject to the “regulated freedom regime” under which tariffs are set by each trader using a combination of general cost formulas given by CREG and individual trading costs approved by CREG for each trader. Since CREG approves limits on costs, traders in the regulated market may set lower tariffs for economic reasons. Tariffs include, among other things, energy procurement costs, transmission charges, distribution charges and a trading margin.

The trading tariff formula became effective on February 1, 2008. The main changes to this formula were the establishment of a fixed monthly charge and the introduction of reduction costs of non-technical energy losses in the trading charges. In addition, CREG allows traders in the regulated market to choose tariff options to manage tariff increments.

In order to improve wholesale price formation, CREG is designing a new energy procurement scheme based on long term energy bids, known as Organized Market (“MOR”, in its Spanish acronym). The final rules for this new system are not available, but CREG has this issue on its 2013 agenda.

In May 2009, a company called Derivex was created so as to incorporate an energy derivatives market. In October 2010, Derivex began its operation with the first electricity forward derivative contract.

In December 2011, CREG issued the Retailing Code, which includes specific rules that improve retailers’ relations with other electricity market members. It establishes new regulations about energy measurement, non technical losses, the retailers’ connection to the wholesale electricity market, and the retailers’ credit risks, among other considerations.

Tariffs to Final Customers

The energy trader is responsible for charging the electricity costs to end customers and to transfer their payments to the industry’s agents. The tariffs applied to regulated customers are calculated pursuant to a formula established by CREG. This formula reflects the costs of the industry: generation, transmission, distribution (depending on the customer’s connection level), trading losses, constraints, administrative costs, and market operating costs.

In addition, the final costs of the service are affected by subsidies and / or contributions that are applied according to the socio-economic level of each customer. When subsidies exceed contributions, the Colombian government covers the difference. The subsidies mechanism is suffering some modifications. Colombian MME’s Resolution 18 1479 that was published in August 2012 modifies the subsidy removal method for residential customers whose consumption exceeds the subsistence consumption, as established in article 2 of Resolution 18 1272 of 2011. Colombian MME’s Decree 011 2012 regulating the Social Energy Fund (“FOES”, in its Spanish acronym) as provided in article 103 of Law 1450 of 2011 was also published in 2012. The purpose of FOES is to cover up to CPs 46 per kWh of the value of electricity for subsistence consumption of residential customers belonging to income groups 1 and 2 of the least developed rural areas.

Another factor that affects the final tariff is the Distribution Area which established a single tariff for the distribution companies in adjacent geographic zones.

Environmental Regulation

The environmental framework in Colombia was established by Law 99/1993, which also established the Colombian Ministry of the Environment as the authority for determining environmental policies. The Colombian Ministry of Environment defines issues, executes policies and regulations that focus on the recovery, conservation, protection, organization, administration and use of renewable resources.

Any entity planning to develop projects or activities relating to generation, interconnection, transmission or distribution of electricity that may result in environmental deterioration must first obtain environmental permits and licenses and also establish environmental management plans.

According to Law 99, generation plants that have a total installed nominal capacity above 10 MW are required to contribute to the conservation of the environment. Hydroelectric power plants must pay 6% of their generation and thermoelectric plants must pay 4% of their generation in addition to a tariff that is annually determined. This payment is made monthly to the municipalities and environmental corporations where these facilities are located.

Law 1450 of 2011 issued the National Development Plan 2010-2014. The plan establishes that between 2010 and 2014, the government must develop strategies for environmental sustainability and risk prevention of environment risks. These include measures such as the national plan for adaptation to climate change, the environmental licensing process and environmental impact studies.

In 2011, Institutional Decree 3,570 established a new regulatory structure for the environment, creating the Colombian Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development (previously, the functions of the Ministry of the Environment were established in conjunction with functions of the Ministry of Housing). The main objective of the Colombian Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development is the formulation and management of environmental and renewable natural resource policies. In 2012, the Colombian Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development published several resolutions. Resolution 1517 of 2012 established the procedures relating to the Environmental Compensation for Biodiversity Loss while Decree 1640 of 2012 set forth regulations for the planning and management of hydrographic basins. In addition, Resolution 1526 of 2012 established the procedural requirements for the subtraction of the forest areas protected by Law 2 of 1959.

In 2012, the Colombian Ministry of the Environment and Sustainable Development included the NAMA (Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action) in the CDM (Clean Development Mechanism) & NAMA Portfolio.

NAMA and CDM are two mechanism established by the United Nations in order to promote the developments of project which reduce emissions of greenhouse gases in certain countries (listed in Exhibit I of the Kyoto Protocol), for example, electric vehicles promoted by Endesa.

The Colombian Ministry of the Environment and Sustainable Development publishes on an annual basis the progress reports for the portfolio projects of CDM and NAMA under development in Colombia. This gives interested parties a chance to buy CERs (Certified Emission Reduction) in connection with CDM projects and also provides financing opportunities in the case of NAMA projects.

In December 2012 the UPME published the Resolution 0563, which establishes the procedure for the exclusion of sales tax for the programs or activities related to reduced energy consumption and energy efficiency.

In the last few years, the environmental regulation for the electricity sector has been focused on regulating power plant emissions, hydro policies (including water discharges and basin organizations), and environmental licensing and penalties.

Peru

Industry Overview

Industry Structure

In the Wholesale Electricity Market (“Peruvian MEM”, in its Spanish acronym) there are four categories of local agents: generators, transmitters, distributors and large customers.

The following chart shows the relationships among the various actors in the SEIN:

 

LOGO

The generation segment is composed of companies which own generation plants. This segment is noted for being a competitive market in which prices tend to reflect the marginal cost of production.

Electricity generators, as energy producers, have capacity and energy sale commitments with their contracted customers. Generators may sell this capacity and energy to both distributors and unregulated customers.

The energy received by a generator’s unregulated and regulated customers does not necessarily coincide with the energy produced by that supplier since the generation plants’ production is allocated by the Committee of Economic Operation of the System (“COES”), the system operator, through a centralized dispatch. The transfer cost is minimized through a consideration of the variable production costs of each power plant, regardless of their contractual commitments. Therefore, there is a short-term market also managed by the COES, where an economic balance is made between the energy produced and the consumption required by the generators’ customers.

The generation plants’ production and the customers’ energy consumption at the nodal short-term marginal cost are valued, and the deficit generators pay for the energy purchased from surplus generators. The balance made in connection with energy sales is also carried out with respect to capacity, in which case the price of the capacity corresponds to a price regulated by the Supervising Entity on Investment in Energy and Mining (“Osinergmin”, in its Spanish acronym), the Peruvian regulatory electricity authority.

 

69


Table of Contents

The settlements made by the COES also include payments and/or collections for complementary services such as frequency and tension regulation. They also consider compensation for operating cost overruns, such as the operation at minimum load, random operational tests, etc.

Regulation DS 027-2011-EM of June 2011 establishes that as of January 2014, several actors may also participate as buyers in the short-term market, in addition to the generators. These other actors include distributors (in order to meet the demand of their unregulated customers), large customers with demand over 10 MW, and a group of unregulated customers whose aggregate demand exceeds 10 MW.

The transmission system is made up of transmission lines, substations and equipment for the transmission of electricity from the production points (generators) to the consumption centers or distribution points. Transmission in Peru is defined as all lines or substations with a tension higher than 60 kV. Some generation and distribution companies also operate sub-transmission systems at the transmission level.

Electricity distribution is an activity carried out in the concession areas granted to different distribution companies.

Customers with a capacity demand lower than 200 kW are considered regulated customers, and their energy supply is considered to be a public service. Customers whose capacity demand is within the range of 200-2,500 kW are free to choose whether to be considered regulated or unregulated customers. Once this type of customer chooses to be a regulated or unregulated customer, the customer has the obligation to remain in that category for at least three years. If the customer wants to change its category from regulated to unregulated customer, or vice versa, it shall provide at least one year advance notice.

There is only one interconnected system, the SEIN, and several isolated regional and smaller systems that provide electricity to specific areas. According to the National Institute of Statistics of Peru (“INEI”, in its Spanish acronym), as of the third quarter of 2012, 92% of the population obtained electricity through the public network, including 98.5% in urban and 72.7% in rural areas.

Principal Regulatory Authorities

The Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mining (“MINEM”) defines energy policies applicable nationwide, regulates environmental matters applicable to the energy sector and oversees the granting, supervision, maturity and termination of licenses, authorizations and concessions for generation, transmission, and distribution activities. On August 10, 2012, Regulation DS 030-2012-EM was published, which amends the articles of organization and defines the functions of MINEM and the Natural Gas Management Department.

The Agency for the Promotion of Private Investment (“PROINVERSIÓN”) is a public entity responsible for attracting private investment in public utilities and infrastructure works. It also advises regarding the difficulties faced by investors in making their investments.

The Osinergmin is an autonomous public regulatory entity that controls and enforces compliance with legal and technical regulations related to electrical and hydrocarbon activities, controls and enforces compliance with the obligations stated in the concession contracts, and is responsible for the preservation of the environment in connection with the development of these activities. Osinergmin’s Tariff Regulatory Bureau has the authority to publish the regulated tariffs. It also controls and supervises the bidding processes required by distribution companies to purchase energy from generators.

The COES coordinates the SEIN’s short, medium- and long-term operations at minimum cost, maintaining the security of the system and optimizing energy resources. It also plans for the SEIN’s transmission development and manages the short-term market.

The National Institute for Defense of Competition and Intellectual Property (“INDECOPI”, in its Spanish acronym) is responsible for promoting competition, protecting customer rights and safeguarding all forms of intellectual property.

The General Electricity Authority (“DGE”, in its Spanish acronym) is the regulatory technical entity responsible for evaluating the electricity sector, and proposes the necessary regulations for the development of the electricity generation, transmission and distribution activities.

The Peruvian Ministry of Environment (“MINAM”, in its Spanish acronym) defines environmental policies applicable nationwide and is the head of the national environmental management system, which includes the National Environmental Impact Assessment System, the National Environmental Information System, the Protected Natural Areas System, as well as the management of natural resources in its area of competence, biodiversity and climate change, among others.

The Electricity Law

General

The general legal framework applicable to the Peruvian electricity industry includes: the Law of Electricity Concessions (Decree Law 25,844/1992) and its ancillary regulations, the Law to Secure the Efficient Development of Electricity Generation (Law 28,832/2006), the Technical Regulation on the Quality of the Electricity Supply (Supreme Decree 020/1997), the Electricity Import and Export Regulation (Supreme Decree 049/2005), the Antitrust Law for the Electricity Sector (Law 26,876/1997), and the law that regulates the activity of Osinergmin (Law 26,734/1996, together with Law 27,699/2002).

Some of the characteristics of the regulatory framework are (i) the separation of the three main activities: generation, transmission and distribution; (ii) freely-determined prices for the supply of energy in competitive market conditions; (iii) a system of regulated prices based on the principle of efficiency together with a bidding regime; and (iv) private operation of the interconnected electricity systems subject to the principles of efficiency and quality of service.

Law 29,852/2012 and Regulation 021-2012-EM created the Hydrocarbons Energy Security System and the Fund of Social Energy Inclusion (“FISE”, in its Spanish acronym). These laws also created a system of social compensation and universal service for the most vulnerable sectors of the population which will be financed by surcharges on the electricity billing of unregulated customers (equivalent to the surcharge that exists today for regulated customers on the Electrical Social Compensation Fund (“FOSE”, in its Spanish acronym)), transport surcharges for hydrocarbon-derivate liquids and natural gas multi-pipelines and surcharges on the use of the natural-gas pipeline.

Osinergmin and distribution companies will be the administrators of the FISE, which funds will be directed to (i) the massification of natural gas to vulnerable sectors, (ii) develop new energy sources like photovoltaic cells, solar panels, etc., and (iii) supply liquefied petroleum gas (“LPG”) to vulnerable sectors.

Law 29,969/2012 provides for the massification of natural gas. State electricity distributors are authorized to carry out natural-gas programs, including the distribution of natural gas in their concession area. They will also be able to associate with companies specializing in the development of gas-distribution projects. Within a maximum term of 3 years from the start of the gas distribution, MINEM starts the process of promoting private investment for the granting of the gas-distribution concession of gas by the pipeline network.

Law 29,970/2012 guarantees energy security and promotes the development of the petro-chemical complex in the south of the country. Under this law, the following agendas have been declared as a matter of national interest: (i) guaranteeing energy security, (ii) transporting ethane to the south of Peru; and (iii) constructing regional pipelines in the regions of Huancavelica, Junín and Ayacucho and linking them with the existing gas pipelines.

Limits and Restrictions

Since the enactment of the Law of Electricity Concessions, vertical integration is restricted, and thus activities in the generation, transmission and distribution segments must be developed by different companies. The Antitrust Law for the Electricity Sector regulates the cases in which vertical and horizontal integration is admissible.

An authorization is compulsory for those electricity companies that hold more than 5% of another business segment, either before or as a result of a merger or integration. An authorization is also required for the horizontal integration of generation, transmission and distribution activities which result in a market share of 15% or higher of any business segment, either before or as a result of any operation.

Such authorizations are granted by the Institute for Defense of the Consumer and Intellectual Property, using the market share information provided by Osinergmin.

Regulation of Generation Companies

Concessions

Generation companies that own or operate a power plant with an installed capacity greater than 500 kW require a concession granted by the MINEM. A concession for electricity generation activity is an agreement between the generator and MINEM, while an authorization is merely a unilateral permit granted by said public entity. Authorizations are granted by the MINEM for an unlimited period of time, although their termination is subject to the same considerations and requirements as the termination of concessions under the procedures set forth in the Law of Electricity Concessions, and its related regulations.

 

71


Table of Contents

In order to receive a concession, the applicant must first request for a temporary concession of two years, and must subsequently apply for a definitive concession.

In order to receive an authorization, the applicant must file a petition before the MINEM. If the petition is admitted and no opposition is presented, the MINEM grants the authorization to develop generation activities for unlimited time, subject to compliance with applicable regulations.

Dispatch and Pricing

The coordination of electricity dispatch operations, the setting of spot prices and the control and management of economic transactions that take place in the SEIN are controlled by COES. Generators can sell energy directly to large customers and buy the deficit or transfer the surplus between contracted energy and actual production in the pool at the spot price. Resolution 080-2012-OS/CD was published during 2012, establishing the criteria and methodology for deciding the real-time operation under exceptional conditions as declared by the MINEM.

Sales by Generation Companies to Unregulated Customers

Sales to unregulated customers are carried out at mutually agreed prices and conditions, which include tolls and compensation for the use of transmission systems and, if necessary, to distribution companies for the use of their network.

Sales to Distribution Companies and Certain Regulated Customers

Sales to distributors can be under bilateral contracts at a price no greater than the regulated price in the case of regulated customers, or at an agreed price in the case of unregulated customers. In addition to the bilateral method allowed under the Law of Electricity Concessions, Law 28,832 has also established the possibility that distributors may meet their unregulated or regulated customers’ demand under contracts signed following a capacity and energy supply tender process.

Sales of Capacity of Other Generation Companies

Contracts between generators and distributors and/or unregulated customers relate generally to purchases and sales of capacity and the energy associated with consumption of capacity.

The purchase/sale of capacity between generators occurs in the short-term market as a consequence of an economic balance between the valuation of the remunerated firm capacity of a generator made at the regulated capacity price (the guaranteed capacity revenue), and the valuation of distribution customers’ capacity needs, valued at the regulated capacity price and/or unregulated customers’ needs valued at the mutually agreed price (the capacity purchase expenses.)

As the contracting of capacity of a generator and its valuation do not necessarily coincide with the guaranteed capacity revenue, there can be trading of capacity between generators.

The guaranteed capacity revenue of each generator is the sum of the guaranteed revenues of its generation units. The remunerated firm capacity of each generation unit results from considering all the units that, ordered by their variable costs and considering the effect of the transmission network, is taken into account for a theoretical dispatch to meet the demand of the system during the monthly peak demand at the lowest optimal cost.

Generators may engage in the direct sale of firm capacity through free negotiations.

Regulatory Charges

In addition to taxes applicable to all industries (mainly an income tax and a value added tax), the electricity industry operators are subject to a special regulation contribution that compensates the costs incurred by the state in connection with the regulation, supervision and monitoring of the electricity industry. The applicable rate for this contribution is up to 1% of the annual billing of each company and the funds levied are distributed proportionally to MINEM and Osinergmin.

Generators that also have hydroelectric plants pay a water royalty as a function of the hydroelectric energy produced and the regulated energy tariff at peak hours.

Incentives and Penalties

During 2009, MINEM carried out several studies which concluded that there will be lack of power generation capacity in the system, in the near future. MINEM recommended the construction of new power plants that would serve as backup (Cold Reserve Project) in order to guarantee the flow of electricity to the system and avoid blackouts. As a result, PROINVERSIÓN carried out a public bid in August 2010, seeking to secure investments for three projects located in Talara, Trujillo and Ilo that will add another 800 MW to the system. The bid resulted in only two of the projects being awarded: Talara (200 MW, for Empresa Eléctrica de Piura S.A. (“EEPSA”), a subsidiary of Endesa Latinoamérica) and Ilo (400 MW, for Enersur, an unrelated company). These plants will receive regular payments for being permanently available to operate and provide energy to the SEIN whenever the COES calls on them and will also be reimbursed for the fuel costs incurred for generating electricity. The Trujillo generation facility was later substituted by the Eten generation facility, and awarded to Planta de Reserva Fría de Generación de Eten S.A. (200 MW).

An international tender was held in 2012 for the concession for the Cold Reserve Project for the Pucallpa (Ucayali) and Puerto Maldonado (Madre de Dios) plants, which were awarded to Consorcio Energía Perú S.A. The term for the construction of the plants will be 30 months from the signing of the contracts and the concession covers a period of 20 years plus the construction period. The Pucallpa thermal plant will require an investment of around US$ 31.5 million and will have a capacity between 35 and 40 MW, covering 80% of the energy demand. The Puerto Maldonado thermal plant will require an investment of around US$ 18.5 million, will have a capacity between 15 and 18 MW, covering 100% of the energy demand.

PROINVERSIÓN established February 28, 2013 as the date to submit offers for the international public tender that is intended to promote private investments for the Hydroelectric Plants project (CH Molloco - 310 MW), which is located in the hills of the department of Arequipa.

Services provided by generation, transmission and distribution companies have to comply with technical standards stated in the Technical Regulations on the Quality of the Electric Supply. Failure to do so might result in the imposition of fines by Osinergmin.

In 2008, due to gas transport and electricity transmission problems, Osinergmin defined a new rule to calculate spot prices through December 2013. Decree 049/2008 established two models, one which represented a theoretical dispatch without considering any restrictions and another that considered real dispatch with restrictions. The spot price is obtained from the theoretical dispatch, and the additional operating costs resulting from system restrictions are paid to the affected generators through a mechanism established by the authority.

Generators receive a capacity payment whose main component is the product of an annual calculation that considers firm power of every power plant connected to the system. Every year, Osinergmin sets the power price that shall be assigned and paid to each generator pursuant to this concept.

Electricity Exports and Imports

A 220 kV transmission line has been implemented for the interconnection with Ecuador, with a limited capacity of 160 MW. However, the line has not operated continuously because of regulatory issues. During June and August 2011, Peru imported energy from Ecuador due to the lack of generation in northern Peru and transmission problems to that zone in the SEIN. In 2012, Peru imported 4.5 GWh of electricity from Ecuador due to the maintenance of the Talara Zorritos line (3.9 GWh in February 2012) and the TGN4 Malacas power plant (0.6 GWh in March 2012.) All of the exports to Ecuador totaling 5.5 GWh occurred in August and September 2012 (1.9 GWh and 3.6 GWh, respectively.)

Internal regulations were also approved for the application of Decision 757 of the Andean Community of Nations (“CAN”, in its Spanish acronym), which establishes that when bilateral electricity transactions are carried out with other countries of the CAN, the Economic Operation Committee of the SEIN should send to the MINEM and to Osinergmin weekly reports showing that priority has been given to supplying the domestic market (Supreme Decree 011-2012-EM).

In addition to the interconnection with Ecuador, the governments of Peru and Brazil in 2010 signed the “Agreement between the Republic of Peru and the Federal Republic of Brazil for the supply of electricity to Peru and export of surpluses to Brazil”, whose main purpose is the exploitation of Peruvian hydroelectric resources in the Amazon basin. In January 2012, Peru created a commission for handling the aspects contemplated in that agreement. The general framework establishes that the accumulated capacity of the generation plants that can be committed to export to Brazil is a maximum of 7,200 MW and dispatch will have the following order of priority: ( i) the Peruvian regulated market, ( ii) the Peruvian unregulated market, and lastly, ( iii) the Brazilian market. As of the date of this Report, the process is on hold, and is expected to be approved by the Peruvian Congress that currently is under the study of the Commission of Andean, Amazonian and Afro-Peruvian Peoples, Environment and Ecology.

The governments of Peru and Chile have established a bilateral working group to discuss energy matters. The purpose of the working group is to identify and take advantage of the potential synergies between the two countries. The first few meetings of this group took place in 2011. At the request of the presidents of both nations, the working group is expected to propose a framework for an agreement in connection with both countries’ electricity integration that would establish the general rules for energy exchanges between them. As of the date of this Report, both countries have conducted negotiations but a final agreement is still pending.

Regulation in Transmission

Transmission activities are divided in two categories: “principal,” which are for common use and allow the flow of energy through the national grid; and “secondary,” which are those lines that connect a power plant with the national grid that connects principal transmission with the distribution network or that connect directly to certain final customers. Law 28,832 also defined “guaranteed transmission systems” and “complementary transmission systems,” applicable to projects commissioned after the enactment of that law. Guaranteed system lines are the result of a public bid and complementary system lines are freely constructed and exploited as private projects. Principal and guaranteed system lines are accessible to all generators and allow electricity to be delivered to all customers. Transmission concessionaires receive an annual fixed income, as well as variable tariff revenues and connection tolls per kW. The secondary and complementary system lines are accessible to all generators but are used to serve only certain customers who are responsible for making payments related to their use of the system.

Environmental Regulation

The environmental legal framework applicable to energy related activities in Peru is set forth in the Environmental Law (Law 28,611/2005) and in the Regulation for Environmental Protection regarding Electricity Activities (Supreme Decree 029-94-EM). The MINEM dictates the specific environmental legal dispositions applicable to electricity activities, and Osinergmin is in charge of supervising certain aspects of their application and implementation. According to the Environmental Law, the Peruvian Ministry of Environment has the principal duties of (i) designing the general environmental policies to every productive activity; and (ii) establishing the main guidelines of the different government authorities for their specific environmental sector regulations. During 2010, most supervision functions regarding the application and implementation of the Environmental Law’s dispositions were transferred from Osinergmin to the Peruvian Ministry of the Environment.

Renewable Energy Resources (“RER”) for electricity generation are considered to be from biomass, wind, solar, geothermal and tidal sources, plus hydroelectric plants whose installed capacity does not exceed 20 MW.

In 2008, the authority issued regulations to promote the use of RER. The principal investment incentives established by these regulations are (i) an objective percentage of national electricity consumption, set every five years, to be covered by RER-based electricity generation, not including hydroelectric plants (for the first five-year period, this percentage is 5%); (ii) through tenders of energy to be covered by RER, the winning investor is guaranteed a firm price for the energy injected into the system during the supply contract period of up to 20 years; and (iii) priority in the dispatch of load and access to transmission and distribution networks.

The second RER tender was made in August 2011 for the 1,300 GWh/year, which must be generated from non-hydroelectric sources. Out of 21 initiatives proposed, 473 GWh were awarded to three projects.

In addition, other regulations establish tax incentives, including (i) accelerated depreciation of assets for income tax purposes, and (ii) the advanced recovery of the sales tax. In 2011, the permanent congressional commission approved Law 29,764 extending these tax benefits through 2020.

Law 29,968/2012 created the National Environmental Certification Service for Sustainable Investments (“SENACE”, in its Spanish acronym), a specialized public organization with technical autonomy and a separate legal constitution, reporting to the Peruvian Ministry of the Environment. This organization is responsible for reviewing and approving detailed environmental impact studies of public, private or mixed capital investment projects, whether national or multi-regional, that involve activities, construction and other commercial and service activities whose characteristics, importance and/or location can result in significant environmental impacts, with the exception of those expressly excluded by Supreme Decree with the consenting vote of the Council of Ministers.

SENACE seeks to implement just one system of environmental administrative procedures to guarantee sustainable investments through the implementation of a sole window of environmental certification (Ventanilla Única de Certificación Ambiental).

D. Property, Plants and Equipment.

In Chile, Endesa Chile owns 24 generation power plants and consolidates revenues from four others, for a total of 28 plants. Endesa Chile also consolidates revenues from other non wholly-owned generation companies in Argentina, Colombia and Peru, which involve an additional 26 generation power plants.

A substantial portion of Endesa Chile’s cash flow and net income is derived from the sale of electricity produced by its electricity generation facilities. Significant damage to one or more of Endesa Chile’s main electricity generation facilities or interruption in the production of electricity, whether as a result of an earthquake, flood, volcanic activity or any other such cause, could have a material adverse effect on Endesa Chile’s operations. Endesa Chile insures all of its electricity generation facilities against damage due to earthquakes, fires, floods, other Acts of God (but not for prolonged droughts, which is a risk not covered by insurance companies), and from damage due to third-party actions, based on the appraised value of the facilities as determined from time to time by an independent appraiser. Based on geological, hydrological and engineering studies, Endesa Chile’s management believes that the risk of an event with a material adverse effect is remote. Claims under Endesa Chile’s insurance policies are subject to customary deductibles and other conditions. Endesa Chile also maintains business interruption insurance providing for coverage for failure of any of our facilities for a period of up to 24 months, including the deductible period.

The insurance coverage taken for non-Chilean property is approved by each company’s management, taking into account the quality of the insurance companies and the needs, conditions and risk evaluations of each generating facility, and is based on general corporate guidelines.

(1) Minor plants collectively have a total capacity of 116 MW. As of December 31, 2012 Emgesa owned and operated six minor plants: Charquito, El Limonar, La Tinta, Tequendama, La Junca and San Antonio.
(2) The installed capacity of this generation power plant in 2012 is the result of tests made by the Peruvian Economic Operating Committee of the Interconnected System.

In addition to generation power plants, Endesa Chile owns other assets which are immaterial in the aggregate, such as transmission assets in Peru and Túnel El Melón in Chile. These assets, in the aggregate, represent less than 1% of the value of Endesa Chile’s total consolidated assets.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company had received the international standard ISO 14,001 certification for 97.5% of its installed capacity in South America, which included 53 out of 54 generation facilities that produced 99.0% of the total annual generation according to the ISO 14,001 standard.

Investment Projects Completed during 2012

Chile.  Bocamina Power Plant Expansion, Second Unit

Located in the district of Coronel, Bío-Bío Region, the project benefits from the existing harbor services, as well as some ancillary facilities of the first unit built for coal storing and ashes disposal. This second unit will use pulverized coal and technology for emissions reduction.

On October 28, 2012, the unit was synchronized to the SIC, reaching an installed capacity of 350 MW, and was declared to be in commercial operation.

This project was financed with internally generated funds.

Projects under Construction

Colombia.  El Quimbo Hydroelectric Project

El Quimbo hydroelectric project is located in the department of Huila, on the Magdalena River, upstream of the Betania power plant. Its installed capacity will be 400 MW through two generation units. This project is being financed mainly with external sources through local and international bond issuances, and to a lesser extent, with Emgesa’s internally generated funds. In 2008, as a result of the awarding process, Emgesa assumed a Firm Energy Obligation for El Quimbo starting in December 2014, and increasing annually from 1.1 GWh/day during the first year up to 4.5 GWh/day from December 2017 to November 2034. In 2009, the Colombian Ministry of the Environment approved the environmental license and building permission.

The principal contracts, corresponding to the civil works and the manufacture, supply and assembly of the equipment, were awarded to the Impregilo-OHL consortium and the Alstom — Schrader Camargo consortium.

The main advances in civil works in 2012 were:

 

   

in February, the completion of the construction of the diversion tunnel;

   

in September, the completion of the construction of the bridge over the river Páez; and

   

in November, the final diversion of the river Magdalena.

The first supplies (turbine parts for the first unit) were received at the site on December 3, 2012 pursuant to the equipment contract.

Colombia.  Salaco Hydroelectric Project

The Salaco project consists of the recovery of 145 MW in the old generation chain of river Bogotá through major maintenance and modernization of six units currently out of service. The units to be recovered are located at three plants: Salto II, Laguneta and Colegio, which operate in a limited manner as minor plants. The increase in capacity will permit greater generation of approximately 482 GWh/year.

In 2012, the equipment diagnoses, technical specifications and tendering of all the processes were carried out. In December 2012, the project was approved by the board of Emgesa and the contracting began for the maintenance and modernization of the six generation units.

Projects under Development

The estimated investments disclosed in this section aggregate the funds that we expect to spend in U.S. dollars each year. Budgeted amounts include connecting lines that could eventually be owned by third parties and paid as tolls. In general terms, projects are expected to be financed with resources to be provided by external financing as well as internally generated funds for each of the companies described.

We continuously analyze different growth opportunities in the countries in which we participate. Thus, the expected start-up for each project is continuously assessed and will be defined based on the commercial opportunities and our financing capacity to fund these projects. The most relevant projects in the pipeline are as follows:

Chile.  Los Cóndores Project

The Los Cóndores project will be located in the Maule Region. It consists of the construction of a pass-through hydroelectric plant of 150 MW installed capacity, which will use the waters from the Maule Lake reservoir through an adduction system 12 kilometers long. The power plant will be connected to the SIC at the Ancoa substation through a 220 kV transmission line.

The feasibility study for the project has been completed. It considers the use of TBM technology (tunnel machinery), which is more efficient, has higher safety standards and a lower environmental impact, for the construction of the tunnel connecting the project with the Maule Lake. The environmental permit for this generation power plant was obtained in 2011. The basic engineering was completed at the end of 2011.

The transmission line project obtained its environmental qualification resolution in May 2012.

Chile.  Neltume Hydroelectric Project

The Neltume project is located in Los Ríos Region, on the upper part of the Valdivia River basin. The Neltume project consists of a 490 MW installed capacity pass-through hydro plant. The power plant will be connected to the SIC through a 220 kV transmission line from Neltume to Loncoche, via Pullinque.

The Neltume power generation project has been under the environmental permission process since December 2010. During 2011, the basic engineering studies began and complementary studies for environmental process were developed. During 2012 the basic engineering studies were completed. In 2013, we expect to obtain the environmental authority permissions for the power plant.

Chile.  HidroAysén Project

The HidroAysén hydroelectric project consists of five hydroelectric power stations, with an aggregate installed capacity of 2,750 MW, two of which are in the Baker River (660 MW and 360 MW) and the other three are in the Pascua River (770 MW, 500 MW and 460 MW). Connection to the SIC consists of a 500 kV high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission line whose length depends on whether the injection of energy is made in the central zone of the SIC (1,912 km further north) or at the SIC’s southernmost point (1,000 km further north).

On May 9, 2011, the environmental authority approved the Environmental Impact Assessment presented for the HidroAysén project. However, HidroAysén presented an appeal against the environmental qualification resolution issued, requesting the revision of certain demands. This has to be analyzed and resolved, together with those presented by other parties, by a committee of public cabinet members.

In April 2012, the Supreme Court in Santiago ruled in favor of HidroAysén and rejected the appeals presented by environmental organizations, thereby bringing to an end a long judicial process brought by opponents of the project.

In May 2012, our partner Colbún S.A., the holder of 49% of HidroAysén, recommended to the company’s board to suspend the process of obtaining environmental approval for the transmission line until there is a consensus on the country’s energy policy.

In August 2012, HidroAysén restructured its management team and created the position of Community and Communications Manager, based in the region of Aysén, in order to strengthen the company’s links with the community and promote a policy of transparency, dialogue and direct communication with the residents. Since then, HidroAysén has focused its efforts on the region in order to comply with its commitments to the community, address concerns about the project, correct erroneous information introduced by opponents and mainly progress in the development of a socially-viable project.

Important decisions are expected for 2013, including the resolution of the Committee of Ministers that will review the arguments regarding the environmental qualification resolution made by HidroAysén and the opponents of the project.

Chile.  Punta Alcalde Power Plant

The project consists of the construction of a thermoelectric plant with two steam-coal units, with a total installed capacity of 740 MW, located in the Atacama Region. The plant will be connected to the SIC at the Maitencillo substation through a 220 kV transmission line.

In 2009, Endesa Chile presented its environmental impact study to the authority for assessment. During 2011, there was a regulatory change regarding emissions requirements which resulted in significant changes to the project. On June 25, 2012, the Atacama Region environmental evaluation commission (CEA) decided to reject the project. Endesa Chile then appealed to the Committee of Ministers. On December 3, 2012, this committee voted unanimously to reverse the decision of the CEA and gave its environmental approval for the project. It is expected that the Committee of Ministers will issue the environmental qualification resolution for the project in early 2013.

During 2012, progress was made in the preparation of the feasibility studies and the EIA for the transmission line to connect the plant to the SIC in order to submit it to the environmental evaluation process.

Chile.  Renaico Wind Farm

This project is located in the 9th Region, in the town of Renaico. It consists of 44 wind-generators of 2 MW each, with a bushing height of 95 m, which will generate a total of 255 GWh/year. The energy produced will be taken by two transmission lines: (i) the main one in a simple-circuit line of 27 km in 220 kV to the new Bureo substation to be built in the 8th Region, and (ii) the second in 66 kV, which will be connected with the Renaico-Angol line.

During 2012, the basic engineering was finished and tenders were issued for the supply contracts. The environmental qualification resolution for the wind farm and the transmission line in 220 kV were also obtained.

Peru.  Curibamba Hydroelectric Project

This relates to a pass-through power plant with an effective capacity of 188 MW to produce 1,010 GWh/year. This would be located upstream from the intake of the Chimay hydroelectric power plant in the department of Junín and would use the waters of the Comas and Uchubamba Rivers through an 8.1 km pressure tunnel.

The plant’s basic engineering designs were concluded in 2012 and presented to the system operator (COES) for the pre-operative study, and a the tendering process for the civil works contracts and plant equipment began. The basic designs of the transmission line are finalized for more than 80% of its length.

In October 2012, the plant’s environmental impact study (EIA) was approved. The EIA of the transmission line is pending resolution.

Major Encumbrances

Endesa Costanera’s supplier debt with Mitsubishi Corporation corresponds to the remaining payments for the purchase of equipment. As of December 31, 2012, the value of the assets pledged to secure on this debt was Ch$ 39 billion. Additionally, Endesa Costanera has granted liens for Ch$ 18 billion as of December 31, 2011 in favor of Credit Suisse First Boston in order to guarantee a loan. For further information, see Note 31 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Climate Change

In recent years, Chile and the region have seen a growing development related to non-conventional renewable energy and strategies to face climate change. This has led both the public and private sectors to conduct suitable strategies for adapting themselves to the new requirements, evidenced by legal obligations at the local level, commitments assumed by countries at the international level and the demanding requirements of the international markets in these matters.

Non-conventional renewable energies (NCRE) provide energy with minimal environmental impact and without CO2 emissions. They are therefore considered as technological options that strengthen sustainable energy development as they supplement the production of traditional generators.

During 2012, Endesa Chile and its subsidiaries carried out several activities and held working meetings with different public, academic and private entities, in order to learn and share experiences concerning the technical and regulatory developments in connection with NCRE and climate change at both the local and international levels, analyze and establish strategic alliances, develop social and private projects and strengthen the leadership position achieved by the Company in Chile.

The Canela wind farm (18 MW, in operation since late 2007), Ojos de Agua mini-hydroelectric plant (9 MW, in operation since 2008) and Canela II wind farm (60 MW, in operations since late 2009) are the NCRE facilities owned by the Company, which have contributed clean and renewable energy to the national grid.

Regarding the development of CO2 emission reduction mechanisms, during 2012, the projects in the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) circuit were as follows:

Ojos de Agua Mini-Hydroelectric Plant: In 2009, the verification of the greenhouse gas emissions (CO2) avoided by the Ojos de Agua mini-hydroelectric plant during the previous period were begun, so as to certify and trade these emission reductions under the CDM. As a result of the verification process, during 2012, 2011 and 2010 the Company has been analyzing administrative and

technical modifications to the monitoring procedures in order to meet the requirements of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) for CDM projects. As of the date of this Report, we are working on these administrative and technical changes and analyzing the carbon market scenarios, in order to follow the next steps of the CDM project. Since its start-up in 2008, the installation has avoided the CO2 emission of approximately 81,500 tons, which can be traded once they are verified.

Canela Wind Farm: On April 3, 2009, the UNFCCC approved the registration of the Canela project as a CDM project, which recognizes that this wind farm may verify and trade the greenhouse gas emissions it will avoid during its useful life. During 2012, we implemented a CDM procedure in order to meet the monitoring plan and the requirements of the UNFCCC. Since its start-up in 2007, the installation has avoided the CO2 emission of approximately 82,700 tons , which will be able to be traded on carbon markets once they are verified.

Canela II Wind Farm: On August 12, 2012, the UNFCCC approved the registration of the Canela II project as a CDM project, which recognizes that this wind farm may verify and trade the greenhouse gas emissions it will avoid during its useful life. During 2012 the UNFCCC requested some clarifications and new information for the registration and finally, approved the CDM registration. Since its start-up in 2009, the Canela II wind farm has avoided the CO2 emission of approximately 250,000 tons, which will be able to trade on carbon markets once they are verified.

A. Operating Results.

General

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto, included in Item 18 in this annual Report, and “Selected Financial Data,” included in Item 3 herein. Our Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and for the three years ended December 31, 2012 have been prepared in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

 

1. Discussion of Main Factors Affecting Operating Results and Financial Condition of the Company

We own and operate electricity generation companies in Chile, Argentina, Colombia and Peru. We also have equity investments in Endesa Brasil, which owns generation companies in Brazil that are operated by us, as well as companies in the transmission and distribution businesses. Our revenues, cash flow and equity income primarily come from the electricity generation business of Endesa Chile itself and of our subsidiaries and associates, which operate in these five countries. For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, non-generation operating revenues, related primarily to a tunnel concesion and engineering consulting services, represented 0.3%, 0.8% and 0.8%, respectively, of total consolidated revenues in each year.

Factors such as hydrological conditions, fuel prices, regulatory developments, extraordinary actions adopted by government authorities, and economic conditions in each country in which we operate, materially affect our financial results. In addition, the results from operations and financial condition are affected by variations in exchange rates between the peso and the currencies of the other four countries in which we operate. These exchange variations may have an important impact in the consolidation of the results of our companies outside Chile. Lastly, we have certain critical accounting policies that affect our consolidated operating results.

Our portfolio strategy allows the impact of significant changes in one country to be sometimes offset by opposing changes in other countries, leading to no significant impacts on consolidated figures. The impact of these factors on us, for the years covered by this Report, is discussed below.

 

a. Hydrological Conditions

A substantial part of our generation capacity depends on the hydrological conditions prevailing in the countries where we operate, although only extreme hydrological conditions materially affect the Company’s operating results and financial condition. In terms of installed capacity, in 2012, 2011 and 2010, 56.4%, 58% and 58% of Endesa Chile’s consolidated installed capacity, respectively, has been hydroelectric. The variation in 2012 when compared to previous years was due to the start-up of commercial operations of Bocamina II (350 MW) in October 2012, a coal fired thermal plant located in Bio-Bio Region in the South of Chile. Consolidated hydroelectric capacity was 8,010 MW as of December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010. (See “Item 4. Information on the Company — A. History and Development of the Company”).

Hydroelectric generation was 31,313 GWh in 2012, 30,555 GWh in 2011 and 30,258 GWh in 2010. The lower hydroelectric generation in these years was mainly related to lower hydrological conditions in Chile when compared to previous years. In fact, 2012 was the third consecutive year of drought in this country, which is a very unusual weather situation according to the hydrological behavior during the last 50 years. Consolidated operating income was Ch$ 632 billion in 2012, Ch$ 788 billion in 2011 and Ch$ 891 billion in 2010.

Our thermal generators burn natural gas, LNG, coal or diesel. We can offset the effect of low hydrology (reservoir levels, rain and snow), in the geographical areas where we operate our plants by thermal generation and purchases. The company’s thermal installed capacity and the ability to purchase electricity from other generators allow us to increase thermal generation and/or purchase electricity from competitors to meet our commitments. In addition, given industry structure and the percentage of hydroelectric generation capacity in the countries where we operate, when hydrology is low, electricity prices generally increase. Under certain circumstances, low hydrology could potentially lead to higher revenues and sometimes, higher operating income.

Operating costs of thermal generation and energy purchases are higher than the variable cost of hydroelectric generation, in normal hydrological conditions. The cost of thermal generation does not directly depend on hydrology, but instead on global commodity prices. However, the cost of electricity purchases in the spot market does depend on hydrology and commodity prices.

The impact of low hydrology on operating results depends on the sensitivity or reaction to electricity prices in the market, the severity of the impact of hydrological conditions on our hydroelectric generation, our cost of thermal generation and the need for

Table of Contents

energy purchases. The effect of low hydrology on market prices may increase or decrease our operating margin, depending on the conditions of all relevant market factors. In recent years, low hydrology has led to a lower operating margin. For additional information on the effects of hydrological conditions on our operating results, see “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors — Since our generation business depends heavily on hydrological conditions, drought conditions may hurt our profitability.”

 

b. Regulatory Developments

The regulatory frameworks governing our business in the five countries where we operate have a material effect on our results from operations. In particular, regulators set generation tariffs taking into consideration factors such as fuel costs, reservoir levels, exchange rates, future investments in installed capacity and demand growth, all of which are intended to allow companies to earn a regulated level of return on their investment, and guarantee quality service and reliability. The earnings of our electricity subsidiaries are determined to a large degree by government regulators, mainly through the tariff setting process. For additional information relating to the regulatory frameworks in the countries where we operate, see “Item 4. Information on the Company — B. Business Overview — Electricity Industry Regulatory Framework.”

 

c. Economic Conditions

Macroeconomic conditions in the countries in which we operate may have a significant effect on our operating results. For example, when a country experiences sustained economic growth, consumption of electricity by industrial and individual consumers increases. Other macroeconomic factors, such as the variation of the local currency exchange rate against the U.S. dollar in the countries where we operate, may impact our results from operations, as well as assets and liabilities, depending on the percentage denominated in U.S. dollars. For example, a devaluation of local currencies against the U.S. dollar increases the cost of capital expenditure plans. For additional information, see “Item 3. Key Information— D. Risk factors —Foreign exchange risks may adversely affect our results and the U.S. dollar value of dividends payable to ADS holders” and—“ South American economic fluctuations are likely to affect our results from operations and financial condition, as well as the value of our securities.”

Economic Growth and Electricity Demand

Economic growth in 2012 was positive in most of the countries in which we operate, mainly based on domestic private consumptions and investment. Even though activity outside Latin America moderated more than expected due to the worldwide economic situation, leading to a weaker external demand for Latin America’s goods and services, this region showed resilience to global threats and the outlook remains better than that for the developed world. According to the IMF’s October 2012 World Economic Outlook, the estimated GDP simple average growth for Latin America and the Caribbean is 3.2% for 2012, and 3.9% for 2013. Growth will continue to be driven by many of South America’s commodity exporters (particularly Chile, Peru and Colombia) all of which are expected to grow in the range of 4% to 6% in 2012 and 2013. Growth in South America is projected to have moderated to 2.9% in 2012 and then increase to 4.0% in 2013, as the worldwide economic recovery would be consolidated and the effect of expansionary policy in some countries would begin to have an impact. Brazil’s growth in 2012 was lower than expected, which is an important cause of the weaker regional growth performance. In 2013, monetary policy easing should spur a stronger growth in Brazil, led by domestic demand.

Local Currency Exchange Rate

Variations in the parity of the U.S. dollar and the local currency in each of the countries in which we have operations may have an impact on our operating results and overall financial position. The impact will depend on the level at which tariffs are pegged to the U.S. dollar, U.S. dollar-denominated assets and liabilities existing in the period and also the translation of financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries for consolidation purposes to the presentation currency, which is the Chilean peso.

As of December 31, 2012, Endesa Chile had total consolidated indebtedness of US$ 4,080 million, out of which 49.3% was denominated in U.S. dollars, 36.4% in Colombian pesos, 10.1% denominated in Chilean pesos, 2.3% in Argentine pesos, and 1.9% in soles.

The following table sets forth the closing and average local currencies per U.S. dollar exchange rates for the periods indicated:

d. Critical Accounting Policies

Financial Reporting Release Section 501.1 encourages all companies to include a discussion of critical accounting policies or methods used in the preparation of financial statements. Critical accounting policies are defined as those that reflect significant judgments and uncertainties, which would potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that our critical accounting policies are limited to those described below with reference to the preparation of our financial statements under IFRS. For further detail of the accounting policies and the methods used in the preparation of the financial statements, see Notes 2 and 3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

During the period, and principally at period end, the Company evaluates whether there is any indication that an asset has been impaired. Should any such indication exist, the company estimates the recoverable amount of that asset to determine, where appropriate, the amount of impairment. In the case of identifiable assets that do not independently generate cash flows, the company estimates the recoverability of the Cash Generating Unit to which the asset belongs, which is understood to be the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates independent cash inflows.

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, in the case of Cash Generating Units to which goodwill or intangible assets with an indefinite useful life have been allocated, a recoverability analysis is performed routinely at each period end.

The recoverable amount is the greater between the fair value less the cost needed to sell and the value in use, which is defined as the present value of the estimated future cash flows. In order to calculate the recoverable value of property, plant and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets, value in use criteria is used by the group in practically all cases.

To estimate the value in use, the group prepares future cash flow projections, before tax, based on the most recently available budgets. These budgets incorporate management’s best estimates of revenue and costs of Cash Generating Units using sector projections, past experience and future expectations.

In general, these projections cover the next ten years, estimating cash flows for subsequent years by applying reasonable growth rates between 2.3% and 8.6% that, in no case, are increasing nor exceed the average long term growth rates for the particular sector and country.

These cash flows are discounted at a given pre-tax rate in order to calculate their present value. This rate reflects the cost of capital of the business and the geographical area in which it is carried on. In order to calculate it, the current time value of money and the risk premiums generally used by analysts for the business and the geographical area are taken into account.

The discount rates, before tax, expressed in nominal terms and applied in 2012 and 2011 are the following:

 

          2012    2011

Country

  

Currency

    Minimum      Maximum      Minimum      Maximum 

Chile

   Pesos    8.4%    14.6%    9.2%    10.1%

Argentina

   Argentine pesos    26.0%      29.0%    23.0%        26.0%

Brazil

   Brazilian reais    13.5%    18.0%    9.5%    11.6%

Peru

   Nuevos soles    12.5%    9.3%

Colombia

   Colombian pesos    14.5%    10.9%

If the recoverable amount is less than the net carrying amount of the asset, the corresponding provision for impairment loss is recorded for the difference, and charged to “Reversal of impairment loss (impairment loss) recognized in profit or loss” in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Impairment losses recognized for an asset in prior periods are reversed when its estimated recoverable amount changes, increasing the asset’s value with a credit to earnings, limited to the asset’s carrying amount if no adjustment had occurred. In the case of goodwill, adjustments that have been made are not reversible.

Litigation and Contingencies

The Company is currently involved in some legal and tax proceedings. As discussed in Note 31.3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2012, we have estimated the probable outflows for resources of resolving these claims. We have reached this estimate after consulting our legal and tax advisors who are carrying out our defense in these matters and an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies.

Hedge Revenues Directly Linked to the U.S. Dollar

The Company has established a policy to hedge the portion of its revenues directly linked to the U.S. dollar by obtaining financing in this currency. Exchange differences related to this debt, as they are cash flow hedge transactions, are charged, net of taxes, to an equity reserve account and recorded as income during the period in which the hedged cash flows are realized. This term has been estimated at ten years.

This policy reflects a detailed analysis of our future U.S. dollar revenue streams. Such analysis may change in the future due to new electricity regulations limiting the amount of revenues tied to the U.S. dollar.

Pension and Post-Employment Benefits Liabilities

We have various defined benefits plans for our employees. These plans pay benefits to employees at retirement and use formulas based on years of service and the compensation of the participants. We also offer certain additional benefits for some retired employees in particular.

The liabilities shown for the pensions and post-employment benefits reflect our best estimate of the future cost of meeting our obligations under these plans. The accounting applied to these defined benefit plans involves actuarial calculations which contain key assumptions that include: employee turnover, life expectancy and retirement ages, discount rates, expected returns on assets, the future level of compensation and benefits, the claims rate under medical plans and future medical costs. These assumptions change as economic and market conditions vary and any change in any of these assumptions could have an important effect on the reported results from operations.

The effect of an increase of one percentage point in the discount rate used to determine the present value of the post-employment defined benefits would decrease the liability by Ch$ 3,052 million in 2012, Ch$ 2,478 million in 2011 and Ch$ 2,311 million in 2010 and the effect of a decrease of one percentage point in the rate used to determine the present value of the post-employment defined benefits would increase the liability by Ch$ 3,608 million in 2012, Ch$ 2,918 million in 2011 and Ch$ 2,817 million in 2010.

Lower revenues in Chile of Ch$ 101.9 billion during 2012 were primarily due to a 11.9% reduction in average energy sales prices as a result of lower indexation of contracts to the marginal cost in Chile, coupled with the absence of revenues from government Resolution 88, that forced generators of the CDEC-SIC system to supply energy to distribution companies without contracts, (Ch$ 68.3 billion in 2011). Additionally, physical energy sales decreased by 3.6% as a result of the expiration of GasAtacama’s contracts and reduced hydro availability. This was partially offset by the agreed compensation with the insurance company for loss of profits of Ch$ 55.1 billion as a result of the disaster of February 27, 2010.

Total revenues from operations in Colombia increased by Ch$ 81.6 billion due to a 7.9% rise in electricity sales due to a higher hydro generation and a 8.3% increase in the average energy sales price in pesos due to a higher energy wholesale market price recorded since August 2012. The “currency translation effect” is the net effect obtained when translating the results from the local currency of each country to pesos. The Colombian currency translation effect was positive, resulting in a 3.4% increase in Chilean pesos in 2012, when compared to 2011. For additional information of our principal distribution and trading customers in Colombia see “Item 4. Information on the Company — B. Business Overview.”

Revenues from operations in Peru grew by 17.6% in 2012 primarily explained by a 15.3% growth in the average energy sales price due to higher contract prices as a result of the fuel prices indexation and to a higher node price since May 2012. The currency

translation effect of converting the financial statements from soles to the peso for both periods produced a 5.0% increase in Chilean pesos in 2012, when compared to 2011. For additional information of our principal customers in Peru see “Item 4. Information on the Company — B. Business Overview.”

Total revenues from operations in Argentina decreased by 11.8% in 2012 as a result of a lower operating and labor costs recognition, and lower capacity payment in Endesa Costanera, explained by the non renewal of the one-year term agreement between the Ministry of Energy and the generation companies of the MEM system executed in November 2010. This was partially offset by a 1.8% increase in El Chocón revenues due to higher electricity sales in the spot market resulting from increased hydro generation in the period. The currency translation effect of converting the financial statements from the Argentine peso to the Chilean peso in both companies led to a 8.6% decrease in 2012, when compared to 2011. For additional information of our principal customers in Argentina see “Item 4. Information on the Company — B. Business Overview.”

Operating expenses in the generation business in Chile increased by 12.4% in 2012 as a result of higher fuel costs of Ch$ 53.1 billion due primarily to increased LNG generation since 2012 was the third consecutive dry year. This was coupled with higher transportation costs of Ch$ 31.7 billion explained by increased toll costs related to the drought in the central-southern zone of the country. Additionally, energy purchase costs grew by Ch$ 11.3 billion due to higher energy purchase prices in the spot market.

Colombia’s operating expenses increased by 26.9% in 2012 primarily explained by higher energy purchase costs of Ch$ 19.7 billion due to higher energy purchase prices in the spot market, and increased fuel costs of Ch$ 12.3 billion primarily related to a higher back-up fuel supply requested by the authorities on the occasion of the Cumbre de Las Americas held in Cartagena in the first quarter of 2012. The currency translation effect was positive, producing a 3.4% rise in operating expenses in peso terms.

Operating expenses in Peru rose by 27.9% mainly explained by higher energy purchase costs of Ch$ 14.7 billion in 2012 due to higher physical energy purchases in the spot market to supplement the plant maintenances, coupled with higher fuel costs of Ch$ 6.1billion partly due to increased diesel generation as a result of dual gas units maintenances. The currency translation effect was positive, leading to a 5.0% growth in Chilean pesos in 2012 compared to 2011.

Operating expenses in Argentina declined by 10.6% in 2012 mainly as a result of lower fuel costs of Ch$ 27.8 billion in Endesa Costanera due to lower generation with gas oil and a Ch$ 3.1 billion decrease in transportation costs, coupled with lower energy purchase costs of Ch$ 1.6 billion in El Chocón due to the increased hydro generation in 2012. The currency translation effect resulted in a 8.6% decrease in peso terms.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses, related to salaries, compensation, administrative expenses, office materials and supplies, decreased by Ch$ 6.5 billion in 2012.

  (1) The sum of the selling and administrative expenses for Endesa Costanera and El Chocón differs from the total selling and administrative expense disclosed for Argentina due to expenses in our Argentine investment vehicles.

Approximately 51.6% of total selling and administrative expenses are concentrated in Chile, between the generation business and other businesses, with a 5.4% increase in 2012 over 2011, mainly due to higher payroll expenses which increased by 30.4% primarily reflecting the engineering staff transfer.

In Colombia, selling and administrative expenses decreased from Ch$ 72.9 billion in 2011 to Ch$ 32.9 billion in 2012, mainly as a result of the one-time effect of the equity tax reform in that country in 2011, which required booking the entire amount of tax payable for the four year period from 2011 to 2014 for a total of Ch$ 43.5 billion on January 1, 2011. Also the reversal of a provision of profit sharing for workers in Perú created a one-time benefit on payroll expenses of Ch$ 14.6 million in June, 2011.

Operating Margin and Operating Income

Our operating margin, or operating income as a percentage of revenues, decreased to 26.7% in 2012 from 32.8% in 2011. This decrease is primarily due to lower operating margins reported in Chile, partially offset by a higher operating margin in Colombia. The following is our operating margin by country:

Endesa Chile’s consolidated operating income was Ch$ 632.2 billion in 2012 and Ch$ 788.0 billion in 2011. This decrease was primarily due to lower revenues as a consequence of lower average energy sales prices in Chile and Argentina, higher fuel costs in Chile, Colombia and Peru, increased energy purchase costs in Colombia, Peru and Chile and higher transportation costs in Chile.

The company’s financial results in 2012 amounted to an expense of Ch$ 146.0 billion, a 20.4% increase over 2011. This variation is explained by higher interest expenses of Ch$ 11.7 billion, mostly explained by a contingency update with SUNAT (Peruvian Tax Authority), an exchange difference loss increased by Ch$ 4.3 billion, lower financial income of Ch$ 13.1 billion, due to lower cash availability, partly offset by a gain for indexed assets and liabilities of Ch$ 4.3 billion.

The share of the profit of associates accounted for using the equity method amounted to Ch$ 116.9 billion in 2012, decreasing by 4.9% compared to the previous year. This result mainly reflects the proportional participation in the results of the associate company Endesa Brasil, whose contribution totaled Ch$ 107.5 billion. Endesa Brasil’s result was 6.8% lower than 2011, partly explained by higher transportation costs and increased energy purchase costs.

As a result of all the foregoing, total non-operating results for 2012 amounted to an expense of Ch$ 27.7 billion, mainly due to 46.8% of lower financial income mainly as a result of reduced cash availability.

Operating revenues in Chile decreased by 6.5% as a result of a 6.6% decline in the average energy sales price. This was partially offset by greater electricity sales during 2011, which grew by 1.0% in relation to 2010, with higher sales to both unregulated customers and the spot market.

Total revenues from operations in Colombia decreased by 1.8%, from Ch$ 507.5 billion in 2010 to Ch$ 498.5 billion in 2011, explained by a 4.0% reduction in the average energy sale price, which more than offset the 2.0% increase in electricity sales, as a consequence of higher hydroelectric generation, which reached 15,112 GWh. The Colombian currency translation effect was negative, producing a 2.6% decrease in revenues in peso terms compared to 2010. For additional information of our principal distribution and trading customers in Colombia see “Item 4. Information on the Company — B. Business Overview.”

Revenues from operations in Peru grew by 13.5%, from Ch$ 211.3 billion in 2010 to Ch$ 239.8 billion in 2011, due to a 9.9% growth in electricity sales combined with a 4.9% increase in the average energy sale price. The currency translation effect of converting the financial statements from soles to the peso for both periods produced a decrease in pesos of 2.7% in 2011 as compared to 2010. For additional information of our principal customers in Peru see “Item 4. Information on the Company — B. Business Overview.”

Total revenues from operations in Argentina increased by 10.7% in 2011 in the aggregate, from Ch$ 352.4 billion in 2010 to Ch$ 390.1 billion in 2011, explained by a 12.8% growth in the average energy sales price in pesos. Endesa Costanera’s revenues rose by 15.8% in 2011, as a result of a 5.9% growth in electricity sales and an 11.8% increase in the company’s average energy sale price. On the other hand, El Chocón’s operating revenues decreased by 15.4% explained by a decrease in generation of 19.2% compared to 2010, due to lower hydroelectric availability, which in turn was a result of reservoir controls at levels limited by each river basin. This decrease in hydrology led to a 15.4% decline in operating revenues, from Ch$ 57.2 billion in 2010 to Ch$ 48.3 billion in 2011. The currency translation effect of converting the financial statements from the Argentine peso to the Chilean peso in both companies was negative, leading to a 10.1% decrease in revenues in peso terms.

Operating expenses in the generation business in Chile increased by 2.0% in 2011 compared to 2010, as a result of lower hydroelectric generation that forced the company to have a higher thermal generation. This led to a 47.6% growth in the cost of energy purchases of Ch$ 66.3 billion, and a 10.1% increase in fuel consumption costs of Ch$ 32.1 billion. These increases were partially offset by lower transportation costs and lower other operating expenses.

Colombia’s operating expenses decreased by 23.7%, from Ch$ 176.7 billion in 2010 to Ch$ 134.9 billion in 2011, mainly due to lower energy purchases of Ch$ 43.3 billion, and lower fuel consumption costs of Ch$ 3.8 billion, as a result of higher hydroelectric generation and lower thermal generation, in turn explained by the rainy year that affected Colombia during 2011. The currency translation effect was negative, producing a decrease of 2.6% in operating expenses in peso terms.

Operating expenses in Peru increased by 8.3% from Ch$ 80.2 billion in 2010 to Ch$ 86.9 billion in 2011. This was mainly explained by higher fuel costs and transportation expenses for a total amount of Ch$ 7.5 billion, which was due to increased thermal generation by Edegel. The currency translation effect was negative, producing a reduction in Chilean pesos of 2.7% in 2011 with respect to 2010.

Operating expenses in Argentina increased by Ch$ 47.9 billion, from Ch$ 267.8 billion in 2010 to Ch$ 315.7 billion in 2011. This is mainly the result of increased fuel consumption costs of Ch$ 40.2 billion and higher transportation expenses of Ch$ 4.4 billion, for Endesa Costanera as a result of a 5.4% increase in production to 8,397 GWh in 2011. The currency translation effect resulted in a 10.1% decrease in peso terms.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses, related to salaries, compensation, administrative expenses, office materials and supplies, increased by Ch$ 39.7 billion in 2011.

  (1) The differences in Generation and Other business in Chile compared to prior disclosures are due to internal reclassifications recognized in 2011.
  (2) The sum of the selling and administrative expenses for Endesa Costanera and El Chocón differs from the total selling and administrative expense disclosed for Argentina due to expenses in our Argentine investment vehicles.

Approximately 47.5% of total selling and administrative expenses are concentrated in Chile, between the generation business and other businesses, with a 7.3% increase in 2011 over 2010, mainly due to higher payroll expenses.

In Colombia, selling and administrative expenses rose from Ch$ 32.7 billion in 2010 to Ch$ 72.9 billion in 2011, mainly as a result of the one-time effect of the equity tax reform in that country, which required booking the entire amount of tax payable for the four year period from 2011 to 2014 for a total of Ch$ 40.2 billion on January 1, 2011.

Operating Margin and Operating Income

Our operating margin, or operating income as a percentage of revenues, decreased from 36.6% in 2010 to 32.8% in 2011. This decrease is primarily due to lower operating margins reported in Chile, Argentina and Colombia, partially offset by a higher operating margin in Peru.

The following is our operating margin by country:

Endesa Chile’s consolidated operating income was Ch$ 890.7 billion in 2010 and Ch$ 788.0 billion in 2011. This decrease was principally due to higher selling and administrative expenses, which reflects the negative impact of the one-time effect of the equity tax reform imposed by the Colombian government coupled with higher fuel costs and energy purchases in Argentina and Chile.

Total non-operating results

The company’s financial results in 2011 amounted to an expense of Ch$ 121.3 billion, a 1.3% increase over the Ch$ 119.7 billion for 2010. This increase was primarily due to a foreign exchange differences loss of Ch$ 6.4 billion for 2011 compared to a gain of Ch$ 15.6 billion for 2010. This loss occurred primarily in Chile, as a result of the higher value of the peso against the U.S. dollar, which affected asset values denominated in U.S. dollars, and in Argentina, due to the conversion into U.S. dollars of the FONINVEMEN collection rights.

The foreign exchange loss in 2011 was partially offset by higher financial income of Ch$ 18.0 billion, as a result of higher cash surpluses invested at higher interest rates.

The share of the profit of associates accounted for using the equity method totaled to Ch$ 123.0 billion for 2011, an increase of 34.2% compared to 2010. This result mainly reflects the proportional participation in the results of the associate company Endesa Brasil S.A., whose contribution amounted to Ch$ 115.3 billion.

As a result of all the foregoing, total non-operating results for 2011 amounted to a gain of Ch$ 3.7 billion, a Ch$ 29.9 billion increase over 2010.

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources.

The following discussion of cash sources and uses reflects the key drivers of cash flow for Endesa Chile.

We have a direct ownership in Pehuenche (92.7 %), San Isidro (95.6%), Endesa Eco (100%) and Celta (100%), which are our main Chilean consolidated subsidiaries. For the list of principal subsidiaries, please see Exhibit 8.1. Additionally, we have a 50% interest in both GasAtacama and Transquillota, and a 51% interest in HidroAysén, which are classified as jointly-controlled companies and consolidated proportionally. We receive cash inflows from our own operating assets and from our subsidiaries, as well as from related companies in Chile and abroad. Foreign subsidiaries and associates’ cash flows may not be available to satisfy our own liquidity needs, mainly because they are not wholly-owned, and because there is a time lag before we have effective access to those funds through dividends or capital reductions. However, we believe that cash flow generated from our business operations, as well as cash balances, borrowings from commercial banks, and ample access to both Chilean and foreign capital markets will be sufficient to satisfy all our needs for working capital, debt service, dividends and routine capital expenditures.

We have economic interests of 62.5% in our Peruvian subsidiary, Edegel, 26.9% in our Colombian subsidiary, Emgesa (which we control pursuant to a shareholders’ agreement), 69.8% in our Argentine subsidiary, Endesa Costanera, and 65.4% in our Argentine subsidiary, El Chocón. We consolidate these subsidiaries since we control the majority of the voting rights.

Set forth below is the consolidated cash flow from an accounting perspective:

For the year ended December 31, 2012, cash provided by operating activities was Ch$ 554 billion, a decrease of 19.1 % compared to 2011. This cash flow is mainly composed of collections from the sale of goods and services of Ch$ 2,557 billion, partially offset by payments to suppliers of goods and services of Ch$ 1,554 billion, and tax payments of Ch$ 213 billion.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, cash provided by operating activities was Ch$ 685 billion, a decrease of 19.9 % compared to 2010. This cash flow is mainly composed of collections from the sale of goods and services of Ch$ 2,504 billion, partially offset by payments to suppliers of goods and services of Ch$ 1,434 billion, and tax payments of Ch$ 232 billion.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, cash used by investment activities was Ch$ 258 billion, mostly explained by the acquisition of Property, Plant and Equipment and the incorporation of intangible assets for a total amount of Ch$ 262 billion, mainly at Endesa Chile, Endesa Argentina and Emgesa, and other investment disbursements of Ch$ 15 billion. See “Item 4. Information of the Company — A. History and Development of the Company — Investment, Capital Expenditures and Divestitures.” The aforementioned cash outflow was partially offset by proceeds from dividends classified as investment cash flow of Ch$ 11 billion and interest received of Ch$ 7 billion.

For a description of liquidity risks resulting from the inability of our subsidiaries to transfer funds, please see “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Operations in Every Country in Which We Operate —We depend in part on payments from our subsidiaries and affiliates to meet our payment obligations.”

We coordinate the overall financing strategy of our majority-owned subsidiaries. Our operating subsidiaries independently develop capital expenditure plans. Generally, our policy is to have the foreign operating subsidiaries independently finance their capital expansion programs through internally generated funds or direct financings. In the case of Chilean subsidiaries, they are financed by us through intercompany loans. For information regarding our commitments for capital expenditures, see “Item 4. Information on the Company — A. History and Development of the Company — Investments, Capital Expenditures and Divestitures.”

We frequently participate in the international commercial bank markets governed by the laws of the State of New York through syndicated senior unsecured loans. Between November 2004 and December 2009, we entered into four such facilities and a six-year term loan. These facilities were structured with various banks for an aggregate amount of US$ 850 million. As of December 31, 2012, the amounts outstanding or available for these bank loans are listed below:

The revolving credit facilities due in June 2014 do not contain a condition precedent requirement regarding the non-occurrence of a “Material Adverse Effect” (or MAE, as defined contractually) prior to a disbursement, allowing the Company full flexibility to draw on up to US$ 200 million in the aggregate from such committed revolving facilities under any circumstances, including situations involving a MAE.

We also borrow from banks in Chile under fully committed facilities in which a potential MAE would not be an impediment to this source of liquidity. In December 2009, we signed a 3-year bilateral loan for UF 2.4 million (equivalent to US$ 113 million as of December 31, 2012). This loan expired on December 23, 2012 but, our loans were renewed for an aggregate amount of UF 2.4 million with a 3-year term starting in February 2013.

Our subsidiary Emgesa also has access to fully committed credit lines in the local markets, as detailed above.

As a result of the foregoing, we have access to fully committed undrawn revolving loans, both international and domestic, for up to approximately US$ 404 million in the aggregate as of December 31, 2012. The above-mentioned committed credit lines executed during February 2013 add US$ 113 million, aggregating to a total amount of US$ 517 million.

We also borrow routinely from uncommitted Chilean bank facilities with approved lines of credit for approximately US$ 235 million in the aggregate, of which we do not have any amount outstanding. Unlike the previous committed lines not subject to MAE condition precedents prior to disbursements, this source of funding in the Chilean market is not guaranteed under all circumstances. Our subsidiaries also have access to uncommitted local bank facilities, for a total amount of US$ 328 million, of which US$ 326 million are undrawn.

We can also tap the Chilean commercial paper market under a program that has been registered with the SVS for up to the equivalent of US$ 200 million. Finally, our foreign subsidiaries also have access to other types of financing, including governmental facilities, supplier credit and leasing, among others.

Except for the SEC-registered Yankee bonds, which are not subject to financial covenants, our outstanding debt facilities include financial covenants. The types of financial covenants, and their respective limits, vary from one type of debt to another. As of December 31, 2012, the most restrictive financial covenant affecting us was the Adjusted Consolidated Leverage Ratio in connection with the syndicated term and revolving facility that matures in June 2014. Under such covenant, the maximum additional debt that could be incurred without a breach of the most restrictive covenant is US$ 5.7 billion. As of December 31, 2012 and as of the date of this Report, we are in compliance with the financial covenants contained in our debt instruments.

As is customary for certain credit and capital market debt facilities, a significant portion of our financial indebtedness is subject to cross default provisions. Each of the revolving credit facilities described above, as well as our Yankee Bonds, have cross default provisions with different definitions, criteria, materiality thresholds, and applicability as to the subsidiaries that could give rise to a cross default.

 

104


Table of Contents

The cross default provision for our revolving credit facilities due in July 2014, governed by the laws of the State of New York, refers to defaults of the borrower, without reference to any subsidiary. Under such credit facilities, only matured defaults exceeding US$ 50 million qualify for a potential cross default when the principal exceeds US$ 50 million, or its equivalent in other currencies. In the case of a matured default above the materiality threshold, the revolving credit facility’s lenders would have the option to accelerate if the lenders representing more than 50% of the aggregate debt of a particular facility then outstanding choose to do so. None of the our local facilities due in February 2016, has cross default provisions to debt other than the respective borrower’s own indebtedness.

Yankee Bonds’ cross default provisions may be triggered only by debt of Endesa Chile or its Chilean subsidiaries. A matured default of either us or one of our Chilean subsidiaries could result in a cross default to our Yankee Bonds if such matured default, on an individual basis, has a principal exceeding US$ 30 million, or its equivalent in other currencies. In the case of a matured default above the materiality threshold, Yankee Bondholders would have the option to accelerate if either the trustee or bondholders representing no less than 25% of the aggregate debt of a particular series then outstanding choose to do so. A payment default or a bankruptcy/insolvency default outside of Chile has no contractual effect on our Yankee Bond indentures, no matter how material. Likewise, Endesa Chile’s local bonds have no subsidiary cross default provisions.

Our Argentine subsidiary, Endesa Costanera, did not make an installment payment due on March 30, 2012 of US$ 17.6 million (which included US$ 4.3 million in interest expense) and another installment payment due on September 30, 2012 of US$ 17 million (which included US$ 4.5 million in interest expense) under the terms of a supplier credit agreement with Mitsubishi Corporation (“MC”) originally entered into in 1996. In addition, Endesa Costanera will not be able to pay the installment payment which matures on March 31, 2013 of US$ 15.4 million (which includes US$ 4.2 million in interest expense). The aggregate principal amount accrued under the supplier credit agreement as of December 31, 2012, including capitalized interest, was US$ 141 million. Endesa Costanera has experienced difficulties in making timely payments under its agreement with MC on a recurring basis since the Argentine crisis of 2002, but had in the past received waivers from MC expressing its willingness to renegotiate payments. The relevant terms of the supplier credit provide for a 180-day grace period for each payment, and the first grace period expired on September 26, 2012. As of the date of this Report, Endesa Costanera has not received any waivers for the payments past due. To declare the indebtedness due and payable, MC must formally accelerate the debt with ten days prior notice. If MC chooses to do so, the amount payable would be the full principal of US$ 141 million. Additionally, MC has a pledge as liens over the Mitsubishi combined cicle of Endesa Costanera. As of the date of this Report, we have not received any acceleration notice and negotiations to restructure the indebtedness are on-going. As of December 31, 2012, Endesa Costanera had a negative net worth and a deficit in its working capital, in both cases attributable to its inability to obtain tariff adjustments that truly reflect real generations costs. Defaults and cross defaults at the Endesa Costanera level do not trigger cross default provisions under indebtedness of Endesa Chile or any of our Chilean subsidiaries. (See Note 31.5 a) to our Consolidated Financial Statements and “Item 4. Information on the Company. B. Business Overview. Electricity Industry Regulatory Framework. Argentina. Regulatory Developments: the industry after the Public Emergency Law.”)

With the exception of our Argentine subsidiaries, our companies have access to existing credit lines sufficient to satisfy all of their present working capital needs. Access to the capital markets on the part of our Argentine subsidiaries has been very limited due to the difficult financial situation still prevailing in Argentina (particularly in the utilities sector), the poor capital markets environment due to the shortage of off-shore financing, the nationalization of the pension fund system and, in general, higher risk associated with lending to Argentine utilities as a consequence of the regulatory framework.

Payment of dividends and distributions by our subsidiaries and affiliates represent an important source of funds for us. The payment of dividends and distributions by certain subsidiaries and affiliates are subject to legal restrictions, such as legal reserve requirements, and capital and retained earnings criteria, and other contractual restrictions. We have been advised by legal counsel in the countries where our subsidiaries and affiliates operate that there currently are no additional legal restrictions on the payment to us of dividends or distributions to us in the jurisdictions where such subsidiaries or affiliates are incorporated. Certain credit facilities and investment agreements of our subsidiaries restrict the payment of dividends or distributions in certain special circumstances. For a description of liquidity risks resulting from our company status, please see “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk factors —We depend in part on payments from our subsidiaries and affiliates to meet our payment obligations.”

Our estimated capital expenditures for the 2013-2017 period, expressed in U.S. dollars at internally estimated exchange rates, amount to US$ 4,548 million, of which US$ 1,960 million are considered non-discretionary investments. We include maintenance capital expenditures as non-discretionary. It is important for us to maintain the quality and operation standards required for our facilities, but we do have some flexibility regarding the timing for these investments. We consider the investment in NCRE projects in Chile as non-discretionary. These investments are being made to comply with regulations that call for 5% of the total contracted energy to be based on NCRE. Finally, expansion projects under execution are also non-discretionary. We consider the remaining US$ 2,558 million as discretionary capital expenditures. The latter includes expansion projects which are still under evaluation, in which case we would undertake them only if deemed profitable.

Other than in Argentina, we do not currently anticipate liquidity shortfalls affecting our ability to satisfy the material obligations described in this Report. We expect to refinance our indebtedness as it becomes due, fund our purchase obligations outlined previously with internally generated cash, and fund capital expenditures with a mixture of internally generated cash and borrowings.

Transactions that most significantly affected our foreign subsidiaries’ liquidity in 2012 included:

 

   

Endesa Costanera: refinancing of 2012 indebtedness for approximately US$ 99 million.

 

   

El Chocón: obtained a working capital loan for US$ 8 million, which enabled the company to increase the debt’s average life.

 

    Emgesa: signed a syndicated loan with local banks for US$ 173 million to refinance short-term debt and issued local bonds for US$ 283 million with 10 and 15 years maturity tranches.

 

   

Edegel: obtained US$ 10 million in a 5-year term loan to refinance short term maturities in 2012

Transactions that most significantly affected our foreign subsidiaries’ liquidity in 2011 included:

 

   

Endesa Costanera: refinancing of 2011 indebtedness for approximately US$ 80 million. With regards to this refinancing, we highlight the US$ 35 million refinancing amounts due to Mitsubishi Corporation and of US$ 10 million due to Credit Suisse.

 

   

El Chocón: refinancing of syndicated loan for US$ 40 million for four years. El Chocón also obtained a syndicated loan for US$ 24 million for 3.5 years, which enabled the company to increase the debt’s average life

 

   

Emgesa: International bond issuance for a total of US$ 379 million for ten years, used to finance part of El Quimbo project. Emgesa also signed exchange swap contracts for US$ 116 million.

 

   

Edegel: bank loan for US$ 31 million for seven years to refinance 2012 maturities in advance. Edegel also signed interest swap contracts for US$ 30 million to hedge leasing operations.

 

C. Research and Developments, Patents and Licenses, etc.

None.

 

D. Trend Information.

We are a company with electricity generation assets, and with subsidiaries and unconsolidated equity investments engaged primarily in the generation of electricity in Chile, Argentina, Colombia, Peru and Brazil. Therefore, our businesses are subject to a wide range of conditions that may result in variability in our earnings and cash flows from year to year. In general, our net income is a result of our operating income from our generation business and other factors such as income from unconsolidated related companies, foreign currency exchange rate effects and tax expense.

Operating income varies in each of the four countries where we consolidate operations due to numerous factors, including hydrological conditions, the price of fuel used to generate thermal electricity, and the prevailing spot market and regulated prices for electricity. We expect to continue evidencing a reasonably good operating performance over the coming years, given the favorable macroeconomic perspective for all of the countries in which we operate except for Argentina. Despite current uncertainties concerning the global economy, there are good expectations for this region’s growth for the next five years, including a 4.7% growth in gross domestic product, on average, based on World Economic Outlook (October 2012) of the Internacional Monetary Fund (IMF) and a stable electricity demand growth.

On the other hand, development of new generation facilities in South America has always fallen behind demand growth. We anticipate that this tendency will continue in the foreseeable future. Also, due to growing environmental restrictions, transmission line saturation, obstacles for fuel transportation and scarcity of places where to locate plants, these new projects involve higher development costs than in the past. We expect that average electricity prices will adjust to recognize these increased costs. This could increase the value of our assets, especially in the case of hydroelectric power plants, which have lower production costs, and thus benefit from greater profitability in scenarios of increasing prices to end users. Furthermore, an important part of the new installed

 

106


Table of Contents

capacity under development in the four countries in which we consolidate operations corresponds to thermal power plants, with coal and natural gas as their principal fuels, and only a few hydroelectric projects are being developed. Thus, we expect this situation will also impact long term spot prices positively. Long-term contracts awarded in different bids to us, directly and through our subsidiaries, have already incorporated these expected price levels. Currently, we have 25% of our expected annual generation sold under contracts of at least ten years and an additional 34% in contracts of at least five years.

However, spot prices are subject to great volatility, affecting our forecasted income. In order to address this risk, the Company has implemented commercial policies in order to control relevant variables and provide stability to the profit margins. Our commercial policy seeks to establish a global framework to conduct energy trading operations, setting responsibilities, guidelines and acceptable risk limits aligned with company objectives. Therefore, the company defines contractual volumes that minimize the risk of supply in adverse hydrological conditions and includes, where necessary with some unregulated clients, risk mitigation clauses.

In order to mitigate the risk of increasing fuel costs, we have entered into supply contracts to cover part of the fuel needed to operate the thermal generation units, which operate with coal, natural gas, diesel and fuel oil. In Chile, through an equity interest in GNL Quintero, we are the only electricity company that participates in the LNG terminal at Quintero Bay (the only facility of its kind in the SIC market), enhancing our position to manage fuel supply risks, especially when facing increasing fuel costs scenarios. This becomes particularly relevant given the increasing trend to penalize other technologies that are intensive in fuels, such as coal and diesel, which have a stronger environmental impact. Through a subsidiary, we entered into the Flexible Liquefied Natural Gas Sale and Purchase Agreement with a subsidiary of British Gas (“BG”) on May 31, 2007 (2.2 million m3 per day until 2030), pursuant to which we changed its supply arrangements effective January 1, 2013 resulting in a significant reduction in price because the reference price changed from the Brent index to the Henry Hub index. BG has proposed a material increase in the price post-January 1, 2013, but the contract does not provide for contractual renegotiation under these circumstances. To force a negotiation, BG notified us that some shipments (up to 50% of the contract quantity) in 2013 would not be delivered. If BG fails to deliver LNG, we must commence arbitration proceedings under the contract to try to recover the additional costs incurred in replacing the undelivered LNG shipments by BG. For us, the estimated cost of non-delivery of a LNG shipment from BG is US$ 46 million at spot price. Most of our LNG consumption is covered by the BG contract. In addition, because of the drought in Chile and price volatility of coal and petroleum, we decided to hedge this risk with commodity instruments available in international markets. As of December 31, 2012, there are swap arrangements outstanding of 462 thousand barrels of Brent crude for January 2013 and 365 thousand tons of coal for the period from February 2013 through June 2013. We plan to continuously monitor operating conditions and, if necessary, modify or supplement these swap arrangements. For further information on this subject, please see “Item 3. Key Information —D. Risk Factors —If British Gas fails to make any of the natural gas deliveries it is obliged to make to us, we may incur replacement costs that we may not be able to recoup.” and “Item 11(a) and 11(b). Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk — Commodity Price Risk.”

Though our operations in the four countries in which we consolidate allow us to somewhat offset and counterbalance variations with respect to these main factors that affect our operating results, in light of the variability of these factors over time and across the countries in which we operate, we cannot claim that we are fully hedged in our portfolio of generation assets in these countries. Furthermore, we cannot ascertain the likelihood or the extent to which past performance will be indicative of future performance with respect to our business. Any significant change with respect to hydrological conditions, fuel price or the electricity price, among other factors, could affect our operating income in the generation business. More broadly, any significant change with respect to economic and population growth, as well as changes in the regulatory regimes in the countries in which we operate, among other factors, could affect our operating income. Variability in our earnings and cash flows can also arise from non-operating factors as well, such as foreign currency exchange rates. For further information regarding our 2012 results compared with those recorded in previous periods, please see “— A. Operating Results - Endesa Chile’s Results of Operations for the Years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011” and “— A. Operating Results - Endesa Chile’s Results of Operations for the Years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.” Investors should not look at our past performance as indicative of future performance.

We do not expect that our current debt agreements, which impose certain restrictions, could have a negative impact on our capital expenditure plan as described in “— B. Liquidity and Capital Resources.” We have a large leverage capacity prior to a potential breach of a debt covenant. As of December 31, 2012, we are able to incur up to US$ 5.7 billion in incremental debt, without entering into breach of the debt financial covenants, beyond current levels of consolidated indebtedness. We believe that we will continue to have similar comfortable levels of further leverage capacity in the foreseeable future.

In connection with funding sources, as of December 31, 2012, we had approximately US$ 404 million in committed revolving facilities which have not yet been drawn, uncommitted Chilean lines of credit for another US$ 235 million in the aggregate and additional undrawn uncommitted banks facilities of our foreign subsidiaries of US$ 326 million. In addition, we, on an individual basis, have publicly registered certain commercial paper programs for up to US$ 200 million with the SVS. These funding sources can be increased in case of need.

Finally, as explained above, we expect that we will continue generating substantial operating cash, which can be used to finance a significant part of our capital expenditure plan. If needed, our shareholders can also decrease the dividend payout ratio, subject to certain minimum legal restrictions, in order to finance our investment plan and future growth.

They do not have a right to severance indemnity if their relationship with the Company is terminated due to willful misconduct, prohibited negotiations, unjustified absences, abandonment of duties, among other causes, as defined in article 160 of the Chilean Labor Code. All of the Company’s employees are entitled to legal severance pay if dismissed due to the needs of the Company, as defined in article 161 of the Chilean Labor Code.

 

C. Board Practices.

The Board of Directors as of December 31, 2012 was elected at the OSM of April 26, 2012.

Directors and Senior Management” above. The members of the Board of Directors do not have service contracts with Endesa Chile or any of its subsidiaries that provide benefits upon termination of employment.

Corporate Governance

Endesa Chile is managed by its Board of Directors, which, in accordance with its bylaws, consists of nine directors who are elected at an OSM. Each director serves for a three-year term and the term of each of the nine directors expires on the same day. The directors can be reelected indefinitely. Staggered terms are not permitted under Chilean law. If a vacancy occurs on the board during the three-year term, the Board of Directors may appoint a temporary director to fill the vacancy. Any vacancy triggers an election for every seat on the Board of Directors at the next OSM.

Chilean corporate law provides that a company’s board of directors is responsible for the management, administration and representation of a company in all matters concerning its corporate purpose, subject to the provisions of the company’s bylaws and the stockholders’ resolutions. In addition to the bylaws, Endesa Chile’s Board of Directors has adopted regulations and policies that guide our corporate governance principles.

The Charter Governing Executives, approved by our Board in July 2003, and the Employee Code of Conduct, explain our principles and ethical values, establish the rules governing our contact with customers and suppliers, and establish the principles that should be followed by employees, including ethical conduct, professionalism and confidentiality. They also impose limitations on the activities that our executives and other employees may undertake outside the scope of their employment with us.

In order to ensure compliance with Securities Market Law 18,045 and SVS regulations, our Board of Directors at its meeting held on May 29, 2008, approved the “Manual for the Management of Information of Interest to the Market” (“Manual”). This document addresses applicable standards regarding the information in connection with transactions of the Company’s securities or those of its affiliates by directors, management, principal executives, employees and other related parties, the existence of blackout periods for such transactions by directors, principal executives and other related parties, the existence of mechanisms for the continuous disclosure of information that is of interest to the market and mechanisms that provide protection for confidential information. The Manual was released to the market on May 29, 2008 and posted on the Company’s website at www.endesa.cl. In February 2010, the Manual was modified in order to comply with the provisions of Law No. 20,382 (Corporate Governance Improvement Law).

The provisions of this Manual shall be applied to the members of our Board, as well as Endesa Chile’s executives and employees who have access to privileged information, and especially those who work in areas related to the securities markets.

In order to supplement the aforementioned corporate governance regulations, the company’s board, at its meeting held on June 24, 2010 approved an Ethics Code and a Zero Tolerance Anti-Corruption Plan (“ZTAC Plan”). The Code of Ethics is structured on the basis of general principles such as impartiality, honesty, integrity and other values of similar importance, which are expected in the behavior criteria detailed in the document. The ZTAC Plan is the application of the same Code with special emphasis on avoiding corruption in the form of bribes, preferential treatment and other similar matters.

At its meeting held on March 31, 2011, Endesa Chile’s Board approved the Prevention Model required by Law 20,393 of December 2, 2009, which imposes criminal responsibility on legal entities for the crimes of asset laundering, financing of terrorism and bribing of public officials. The law encourages companies to adopt this model, whose implementation involves compliance with duties of management and supervision. The adoption of this model therefore mitigates, and in some cases relieves, the effects of criminal responsibility even when a crime is committed. One of the elements of this model is the Prevention Officer, which was appointed by the Board at its meeting held on October 27, 2010. As of December 31, 2012, the Prevention Officer was Alain Rosolino, Internal Audit Officer of Enersis, our controlling company.

On October 27, 2010, the board approved “GUIDELINES 231: Guidelines applicable to non-Italian subsidiaries in accordance with Legislative Decree 231 of June 8, 2001. Application to Endesa Spain and its Group.” Given that Endesa Chile’s ultimate parent company, Enel S.p.A., has to comply with Legislative Decree 231, which establishes management responsibility for Italian companies as a consequence of certain crimes committed in Italy or abroad, in the name of or for the benefit of such entities, including those crimes described in Chilean Law 20,393, this document, approved by the Board, sets a group of measures, with standards of behavior expected from all employees, advisers, auditors, officials, directors as well as consultants, contractors, commercial partners, agents and suppliers. Decree 231 includes various activities of a preventive nature that are coherent with and integral to the requirements and compliance with Chilean Law 20,393, which deals with the criminal responsibility of legal entities. All of the above is supplementary to the behavioral regulations included in the Code of Ethics and ZTAC Plan.

On November 29, 2012, the SVS issued General Regulation No. 341 which establishes regulations for the disclosure of information with respect to the standards of corporate governance adopted by publicly held limited liability corporations that must be complied with, and sets the procedures, mechanisms and policies that are indicated in the Appendix to the regulation. The objective of this regulation is to provide suitable information to the investing public with respect to good corporate governance policies and practices adopted by publicly held limited liability corporations, which include Endesa Chile, and permit entities like stock exchanges

or research centers to produce their own analyses to help the various market players know and evaluate the commitment of companies. The Appendix is divided into the following five sections with respect to which companies must report the corporate practices that have been adopted: i) the functioning of the board, ii) relations between the company, shareholders and the public in general, iii) the replacement and compensation of senior executives, iv) the definition, implementation and supervision of the company’s internal control and risk management policies and procedures, and v) other practices adopted by the company that do not refer to the above matters. Publicly held limited liability corporations should send to the SVS, no later than March 31 of each year, the information with respect to corporate governance practices, using as parameters the contents of the Appendix to this regulation. Should the company not have adopted any of them, it must give the reasons why. The information should refer to December 31 of the calendar year prior to its dispatch. At the same time, such information shall also be made available to the public on the company’s web site and the information sent to the stock exchanges. The first dispatch and publication of the information required by the regulation should be made no later than June 30, 2013 and refer to March 31, 2013.

Compliance with NYSE Listing Standards on Corporate Governance

The following is a summary of the significant differences between our corporate governance practices and those applicable to domestic issuers under the corporate governance rules of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”):

Independence and Functions of the Audit Committee

Under the NYSE corporate governance rules, all members of the Audit Committee must be independent. We have been subject to this requirement since July 31, 2005. On April 22, 2010, at an Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting or ESM, the Company’s bylaws were amended and the Audit Committee was merged with the Directors’ Committee. According to the Company’s bylaws all of the members of this Committee must satisfy the requirements of independence, as stipulated by the NYSE. Also, Chilean law requires that the majority of the Directors’ Committee (at least two out of three members) be independent directors. According to Chilean law, a member would not be considered independent if, at any time, within the last 18 months he or she: (i) maintained any relationship of a relevant nature and amount with the company, with other companies of the same group, with its controlling shareholder or with the principal officers of any of them or has been a director, manager, administrator or officer of any of them; (ii) maintained a family relationship with any of the members described in (i) above; (iii) has been a director, manager, administrator or principal officer of a non-profit organization that has received contributions from (i) above; (iv) has been a partner or a shareholder that has controlled, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the capital stock or has been a director, manager, administrator or principal officer of an entity that has provided consulting or legal services for a relevant consideration or external audit services to the persons listed in (i) above; (v) has been a partner or a shareholder that has controlled, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the capital stock or has been a director, manager, administrator or principal officer of the principal competitors, suppliers or clients. In case there are not sufficient independent directors on the Board to serve on the committee, Chilean Law determines that the independent director nominates the rest of the members of the Committee among the rest of the Board members that do not meet the Chilean law independence requirements. Chilean Law also requires that all publicly held limited liability stock corporations that have a market capitalization of at least UF 1,500,000 (approximately US$ 66 million as of December 31, 2012) and at least 12.5% of its voting shares are held by shareholders that individually control or own less than 10% of such shares, must have at least one independent director and a Directors’ Committee.

Under the NYSE corporate governance rules, the Audit Committee of a U.S. company must perform the functions detailed in, and otherwise comply with the requirements of NYSE Listed Company Manual Rules 303A.06 and 303A.07. Non-U.S. companies have been required to comply with Rule 303A.06 beginning July 31, 2005 but are not required to comply with Rule 303A.07. Since July 31, 2005, we have complied with the independence and the functional requirements of Rule 303A.06. As required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (“SOX”) and the NYSE corporate governance rules, on June 29, 2005, Endesa Chile’s Board of Directors created an Audit Committee, composed of three directors who were also members of the Board. As previously mentioned, this Audit Committee was merged into the Directors’ Committee in April 2010. As required by the company’s bylaws, the members of Directors’ Committee, composed of three members of the Board, should comply with Chilean law, as well as with the criteria and requirements of independence prescribed by SOX, the SEC and the NYSE. As of December 31, 2012, our Directors’ Committee was composed of three independent directors, all of whom met both the independence criteria of Chilean law, the SEC and the NYSE.

Our Directors’ Committee performs the following functions:

 

   

review of Financial Statements and the Reports of the external auditors prior to their submission to shareholders’ approval;

 

   

formulation of the proposal to the Board of Directors for the selection of external auditors and private rating agencies;

 

115


Table of Contents
   

review of information related to operations by the Company with related parties and/or related to operations in which the Company’s board members or relevant Executive Officers, their spouses or relatives, and/or legal entities in which board members or relevant executive officers have worked in the last 18 month, either directly or indirectly;

 

   

examination of the compensation framework and plans for managers, executive officers and employees;

 

   

preparation of an Annual Management Report, including its main recommendations to shareholders;

 

   

information to the Board of Directors about the convenience of recruiting external auditors to provide non-auditing services, when such services are not prohibited by law, depending on whether such services might affect the external auditors’ independence;

 

   

oversight of the work of external auditors;

 

   

review and approval of the annual auditing plan by the external auditors;

 

   

evaluation of the qualifications, independence and quality of the auditing services;

 

   

elaboration of policies regarding employment of former members of the external auditing firm;

 

   

review and discussion of problems or disagreements between management and external auditors regarding the auditing process;

 

   

establishment of procedures for receiving and dealing with complaints regarding accounting, internal control and auditing matters;

 

   

any other function mandated to the committee by the bylaws, the Board of Directors or the shareholder of the Company.

As of December 31, 2012, Messrs. Jaime Bauzá, Enrique Cibié and Felipe Lamarca (Chairman) were members of this Committee, all of whom satisfied the independence requirements of the NYSE.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

The NYSE’s corporate governance rules require U.S.-listed companies to adopt and disclose corporate governance guidelines. Although Chilean law does not provide for this practice (except for the Manual), the Company has adopted the codes of conduct described above, and at its ESM held in March 2006, approved the inclusion of articles in its bylaws that govern the creation, composition, attributions, functions and compensation of the Directors’ Committee and the Audit Committee.

In order to comply with the new requirements of Law No. 20,382, which amended the Chilean Companies Act, at the ESM of April 22, 2010, the shareholders of the Company approved amendments to the Company’s bylaws, including amendments providing for the merger of the Directors’ and Audit Committees. The Directors’ Committee is currently composed of three members that comply with the SOX independence requirements and the NYSE corporate governance rules. The Committee includes among its functions the duties previously performed by the Audit Committee.

Chile

All Chilean employees who are dismissed for reasons other than misconduct are entitled by law to a severance payment. According to Chilean law, permanent employees are entitled to a basic payment of one-month’s salary for each year (or a six-month portion thereof) worked, subject to a limit of a total payment of no more than 11 months’ pay for employees hired after August 14, 1981. Severance payments to employees hired prior to that date consist of one-month’s salary for each full year worked, not subject to any limitation on the total amount payable. Under Endesa Chile’s collective bargaining agreements, the Company is obligated to make severance payments to all covered employees in cases of voluntary resignation or death in specified amounts that increase according to seniority.

Endesa Chile has collective agreements with nine different unions, which will expire between 2013 and 2015. Three of these agreements are carried over from Ingendesa.

Argentina

El Chocón has two collective agreements, one signed during 2011, which expires in December 2016, and another which is still pending. Endesa Costanera has two collective agreements, which will expire in March 2014.

Colombia

Emgesa has one collective agreement signed during 2011, which will be in force until December 2014.

Table of Contents

Peru

Edegel has one agreement signed in 2009, which expires in 2013.

Management believes Endesa Chile’s relationships with trade unions is positive.

 

E. Share Ownership.

To the best of Management’s knowledge, none of Endesa Chile’s directors or officers own more than 0.1% of the shares of the Company. None of Endesa Chile’s directors or officers has any stock options. It is not possible to confirm whether any of our directors or officers has a beneficial, rather than direct, interest in the shares of Endesa Chile. To the best of our knowledge, any share ownership by all of the directors and officers of Endesa Chile, in the aggregate, amount to significantly less than 10% of outstanding shares.

 

Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions

 

A. Major Shareholders.

Endesa Chile has only one class of capital stock and Enersis, our controlling shareholder, has no different voting rights than Endesa Chile’s other shareholders. As of February 28, 2013 our 8,201,754,580 shares of common stock outstanding were held by 17,514 stockholders of record. There were five official record holders in the United States of America, as of such date.

It is not practicable for us to determine the number of ADSs or common shares beneficially owned in the United States, as we are not able to ascertain the domicile of the final beneficial holders represented by the five official ADS record holders in the United States of America. Likewise, we cannot readily determine the domicile of any of our foreign stockholders who hold our common stock, either directly or indirectly.

As of February 28, 2013 Enersis owned 60.0% of the shares of Endesa Chile. Chilean private pension funds, “Administradora de Fondos de Pensiones,” or AFPs, owned 14.2% in the aggregate. Chilean stockbrokers, mutual funds, insurance companies, foreign equity funds, and other Chilean institutional investors collectively owned 17.8% of our equity. ADS holders owned 4.4% of the equity. The remaining 3.6% was held by 16,096 minority shareholders.

The following table sets forth information concerning ownership of our common stock as of February 28, 2013, with respect to stockholders known to us to own more than 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock:

 

             Number of        
Shares
Owned
         Percentage of      
Shares 
Outstanding
 

Enersis

   4,919,488,794      60.0%   

Enersis is a company primarily engaged, through its subsidiaries and related companies, in the generation and distribution of electricity in Chile, Argentina, Colombia and Peru, and in the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity in Brazil. Enersis is controlled by Endesa Spain, one of the largest Spanish electricity companies, which owns 60.6% of Enersis’ outstanding capital stock.

Since June 25, 2009, Enel has been the ultimate controlling shareholder of Endesa Chile by virtue of its 92.1% shareholding in Endesa Spain. Enel is a publicly-traded company headquartered in Italy, primarily engaged in the energy sector, with a presence in 40 countries worldwide, and over 97,000 MW of net installed capacity. It provides service to more than 61 million customers through its electricity and gas businesses.

 

B. Related Party Transactions.

Article 146 of the Law 18,046 (the “Chilean Companies Act”) defines related-party transactions as all operations involving the company and any entity belonging to the corporate group, its parent companies, controlling companies, subsidiaries or related companies, board members, managers, administrators, senior officers or company liquidators, including their spouses, some of their relatives and all entities controlled by them, in addition to individuals who may appoint at least one member of the company’s directors or who control 10% or more of voting capital, or companies in which a board member, manager, administrator, senior officer

Table of Contents

or company liquidator have been serving in the same position within the last 18 months. The law establishes that in the event that these persons fulfill the requirements established by Article 146, such persons must immediately inform the Board of Directors of their related-party nature, or such other group as the Board may appoint for that purpose. As required by law, “related-party transactions” must comply with corporate interests, as well as prices, terms and conditions prevailing in the market at the time of their approval. They must also meet all legal requirements, including board acknowledgement and approval of the transaction (excluding the affected directors), approval by the ESM (in some cases, with requisite majority approval) and be approved pursuant to regulatory procedures.

The aforementioned law, which also applies to Endesa Chile’ affiliates, also provides for some exceptions, stating that in certain cases, Board approval would suffice for “related-party transactions”, pursuant to certain related-party transaction thresholds and when such transactions are conducted in compliance with the related-party policies defined by the company’s board. At its meetings held on December 17, 2009 and April 23, 2010, Endesa Chile’s Board of Directors approved a related-party policy (política de habitualidad) effective as of January 1, 2010. This policy was amended by Endesa Chile’s Board of Directors at the board meeting held on April 25, 2012. This policy is available on the company’s website.

If an operation is not in compliance with Article 146, this would not affect the operation’s validity, but the company or shareholders may demand compensation from the individual associated with the infringement as provided under law, and reparation for damages. We believe that we have complied with the requirements of Article 146 in all transactions with related parties.

Our largest electricity distribution customer is Chilectra, a subsidiary of Enersis. The terms of our contracts with Chilectra are regulated in accordance with the Chilean Electricity Law.

It is common practice to transfer surplus funds from one company to another affiliate that has a cash deficit. It is the Endesa Group’s policy that all cash inflows and outflows of Endesa Chile and Endesa Chile’s Chilean subsidiaries are managed through a centralized cash management policy in coordination with Enersis. These operations are carried out through either short-term or structured intercompany loans. Under Chilean laws and regulations, such transactions must be carried out on an arm’s length basis. Our centralized cash management is efficient for both financial and tax reasons. All of these operations are subject to the supervision of our Directors’ Committee. As of December 31, 2012, these operations are priced at TIP (a Chilean variable interest rate) + 0.05% per month.

In other countries in which we do business, these intercompany transactions are permitted, but they have adverse tax consequences. Accordingly, we do not manage the cash flows of our non-Chilean subsidiaries.

Endesa Chile has also made structured loans to its related parties in Chile, primarily to finance projects. As of December 31, 2012, the outstanding net balance for such loans was US$ 27.5 million, at an interest rate of 3.5%. The largest amounts outstanding during 2012 and 2011 were US$ 38.5 million and US$ 75 million, respectively. For the two-year period ending December 31, 2012, Endesa Chile has granted only one loan to a foreign subsidiary, Endesa Costanera, at a spread of 6.0% over LIBOR. The outstanding balance of this loan was US$ 7.1 million as of December 31, 2012. The largest amount outstanding during 2012 and 2011 for such loan was also US$ 7.1 million.

As of the date of this Report, the above—mentioned transactions have not experienced material changes. For more information regarding transactions with related parties, refer to Note 8 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Legal Proceedings

We and our subsidiaries are parties to legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Management considers that it is unlikely that any loss associated with pending lawsuits will significantly affect the normal development of our business.

For detailed information as of December 31, 2012 on the status of the material pending lawsuits that have been filed against the Company or its subsidiaries, please refer to Note 31.3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements. In 2009, the Company adopted IFRS,

 

120


Table of Contents

and in relation to the legal proceedings reported in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company decided to use the criteria of disclosing lawsuits above a minimum threshold of US$ 15 million of potential impact to Endesa Chile, and, in some cases, qualitative criteria according to the materiality of the impact in the conduct of our business. The lawsuits status includes a general description, the process status and the estimate of the amount involved in each lawsuit.

Dividend Policy

The Board generally establishes a definitive dividend payable each year, and attributable to the prior year, which cannot be less than the legal minimum of 30% of annual net income before negative goodwill amortization. As agreed at a meeting held on February 28, 2013, the Board of Directors will propose to the OSM that is expected to be held on April 15, 2013, the payment of a definitive dividend of Ch$ 11.24302 per share for fiscal year 2012, equal to a payout ratio of 50% (based on annual net income before negative goodwill amortization). The provisional dividend of Ch$ 3.04265 per share paid on January 24, 2013, will be deducted from the definitive dividend to be paid on May 9, 2013.

The Board of Directors also approved a dividend policy for fiscal year 2013 according to which a provisional dividend will be paid to stockholders equal to 15% of the net income accumulated through September 30, 2013. The Board of Directors will propose a definitive dividend payout equal to 50% of the annual net income for fiscal year 2013. Actual dividend payments will be subject to net profits obtained in each period, as well as to expectations of future profit levels and other conditions that may exist at the time of such dividend declaration. The fulfillment of the aforementioned dividend policy will depend on actual 2013 net income. The proposed dividend policy is subject to the Board of Director’s prerogative to change the amount and timing of the dividends under the circumstances at the time of the payment.

Currently, there are no restrictions on the ability of Endesa Chile or any of its subsidiaries to pay dividends, other than the customary legal restriction of limiting the amount of dividends to net income and retained earnings and in the event of specific circumstances under the conditions of certain credit agreements, except for the following: Endesa Costanera and El Chocón may not pay dividends unless they comply with certain financial covenants. In general terms, companies may not pay dividends in case of default on credit agreements. (See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — B. Liquidity and capital resources” for further detail on Endesa Chile debt instruments).

Stockholders set dividend policies at each subsidiary and affiliate. There are currently no material currency controls which prohibit Endesa Chile from repatriating the dividend payments from its non-Chilean principal subsidiaries and affiliates.

The Company pays dividends to shareholders of record as of five business days before the payment date. Holders of ADS on the applicable record dates will be entitled to participate in all future dividends.

Dividends

The table below sets forth, for each of the years indicated, the per share amounts of dividends distributed by the Company in Chilean pesos and the amount of dividends distributed per ADS (one ADS represents 30 shares of common stock) in U.S. dollars.

C. Markets.

In Chile, the Company’s stock is traded on three stock exchanges: the Santiago Stock Exchange, the Electronic Stock Exchange and the Valparaíso Stock Exchange. The largest exchange in the country, the Santiago Stock Exchange, was established in 1893 as a private company. Its equity consists of 48 shares held by 45 stockholders as of the date of this Report. As of December 31, 2012, 225 companies had shares listed on the Santiago Stock Exchange. For the year ended 2012, the Santiago Stock Exchange accounted for 89.3% of Endesa Chile’s total equity traded in Chile and amounted to 1,206,364,930 shares. In addition, approximately 10.6% of Endesa Chile’s equity trading was conducted on the Electronic Stock Exchange, an electronic trading market that was created by banks and non-member brokerage houses, and 0.1% was traded on the Valparaíso Stock Exchange.

Equities, closed-end funds, fixed-income securities, short-term and money market securities, gold and U.S. dollars are traded on the Santiago Stock Exchange. The Santiago Stock Exchange also trades U.S. dollar futures and stock index futures. Securities are traded primarily through an open voice auction system; a firm offers system or the daily auction. Trading through the open voice system occurs on each business day from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., during local standard time, and from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. during daylight savings time, which differs from New York City time by up to two hours, depending on the season. The Santiago Stock Exchange has an electronic trading system called Telepregón, which operates continuously from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. during local standard time, and from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. during daylight savings time, on each business day. During local standard time, electronic auctions may be conducted four times a day, at 10:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m., and 3:30 p.m. During daylight savings time there is an additional electronic auction at 4:30 p.m. More than 99% of the auctions and transactions take place electronically.

There are two share price indexes on the Santiago Stock Exchange: the General Shares Price Index, or IGPA, and the Selected Shares Price Index, or IPSA. The IGPA is calculated using the prices of shares that are traded at least 5% of the trading days of a year, with a total annual transactions exceeding UF 10,000 (US$ 0.48 million as of December 31, 2012) and a free float of at least 5%. The IPSA is calculated using the prices of the 40 shares with higher amounts traded, on a quarterly basis, with market capitalization above US$ 200 million and a free float at least 5%. The shares included in the IPSA and IGPA are weighted according to the weighted value of the shares traded. Endesa Chile has been included in the IPSA since the beginning of its privatization process in 1987.

Shares of our common stock have traded in the United States in the form of ADSs on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) since 1994 under the ticker symbol “EOC”. Each ADS represents 30 shares of common stock, with the ADSs in turn evidenced by American Depositary Receipts (ADRs). The ADRs are outstanding under the Amended and Restated Deposit Agreement dated as of September 30, 2010, among us, Citibank, N.A. as Depositary, and the holders and beneficial owners from time to time of ADRs issued there under. Only persons in whose names ADRs are registered on the books of the Depositary are treated by the Depositary as owners of ADRs.

As of February 28, 2013, ADRs evidencing 13,843,859 ADS (equivalent to 415,315,770 common shares) were outstanding, representing 4.44% of the total number of outstanding shares. It is not practicable for the Company to determine the proportion of ADSs beneficially owned by U.S. final beneficial holders. Trading of our shares on the NYSE and other exchanges during 2012 amounted to approximately 932 million ADSs, which in turn was equivalent to US$ 1,538 million.

The NYSE is open for trading Monday through Friday from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm, with the exception of holidays declared by the NYSE in advance. On the trading floor, the NYSE trades in a continuous auction format, where traders can execute stock transactions on behalf of investors. Specialist broker acts as an auctioneer in an open outcry auction market to bring buyers and sellers together and to manage the actual auction. Customers can also send orders for immediate electronic execution, or route orders to the floor for trade in the auction market. The NYSE works with U.S. regulators like the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to coordinate risk management measures in the electronic trading environment through the implementation of mechanisms like circuit breakers and liquidity replenishment points.

Shares of Endesa Chile were first listed and began trading on the Bolsa de Valores Latinoamericanos de la Bolsa de Madrid, or Latibex, in 2001, under the ticker symbol “XEOC” until April 2011, a trading unit represented 30 common shares (the same unit conversion of 30:1 as an ADS), but since May 2011 the equivalence changed to a 1:1 ratio. Santander Investment S.A. acts as the liaison entity, and Banco Santander-Chile as the Depositary Bank in Chile. Trading of our shares on the Latibex during 2012 amounted to 2,658,850 units, which in turn was equivalent of € 3.45 million. The stock closed at € 1.21 on the last 2012 trading day.

Description of Share Capital

Set forth below is certain information concerning our share capital and a brief summary of certain significant provisions of our bylaws and Chilean law.

General

Shareholders’ rights in Chilean companies are governed by the company’s bylaws, which serve the same purpose as the articles or certificate of incorporation and the bylaws of a company incorporated in the United States, and by Law 18,046 (the Chilean Companies Act). In addition, D.L. 3500, or the Pension Funds’ System Law, which permits the investment by Chilean pension funds in stock of qualified companies, indirectly affects corporate governance and prescribes certain rights of shareholders. In accordance with the Chilean Companies Act, legal actions by shareholders to enforce their rights as shareholders of the company must be brought in Chile in arbitration proceedings or, at the option of the plaintiff, before Chilean courts. Members of the board of directors, managers, officers and principal executives of the company, or shareholders that individually own shares with book value or stock value higher that UF 5,000 (US$ 237,944 as of December 31, 2012) do not have the option to bring the procedure to the courts.

The Chilean securities markets are principally regulated by the Superintendency of Securities and Insurance, or SVS, under Law 18,045 (the Securities Market Law), and the Chilean Companies Act. These two laws provide for disclosure requirements, restrictions on insider trading and price manipulation, and protection of minority shareholders. The Securities Market Law sets forth requirements for public offerings, stock exchanges and brokers, and outlines disclosure requirements for companies that issue publicly

offered securities. The Chilean Companies Act and the Securities Market Law, both as amended, provide rules regarding takeovers, tender offers, transactions with related parties, qualified majorities, share repurchases, directors’ committee, independent directors, stock options and derivative actions.

Public Register

Endesa Chile is a publicly held stock corporation incorporated under the laws of Chile. Endesa Chile was constituted by public deed issued on December 1, 1943 by the Santiago Notary Public Mr. Luciano Hiriart C. Its existence and bylaws were approved by Decree No. 97 of the Ministry of Finance on January 3, 1944. An excerpt of the bylaws was registered on page 61, and the Decree was registered on page 65 in the Commercial Registrar (Registro de Comercio del Conservador de Bienes Raíces y Comercio de Santiago), on January 17, 1944. Endesa Chile is registered with the SVS and its entry number is 0114. Endesa Chile is also registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and its commission file number is 1-13240.

Reporting Requirements Regarding Acquisition or Sale of Shares

Under Article 12 of the Securities Market Law and General Rule 269 of the SVS, certain information regarding transactions in shares of a publicly held stock corporation or in contracts or securities whose price or results depend on or are conditioned in whole or in part on the price of such shares must be reported to the SVS and the Chilean stock exchanges. Since American Depositary Shares (ADS) are deemed to represent the shares of common stock underlying the American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), transactions in ADRs will be subject to these reporting requirements and those established in Circular 1375 of the SVS. Shareholders of publicly held stock corporations are required to report to the SVS and the Chilean stock exchanges:

 

   

any direct or indirect acquisition or sale of shares made by a holder who owns directly or indirectly at least 10% of a publicly held stock corporation’s subscribed capital;

 

   

any direct or indirect acquisition or sale of contracts or securities whose price or results depend on or are conditioned in whole or in part on the price of shares made by a holder who owns directly or indirectly at least 10% of a publicly held stock corporation’s subscribed capital;

 

   

any direct or indirect acquisition or sale of shares made by a holder who, due to an acquisition of shares of such publicly held stock company, results in the holder acquiring directly or indirectly at least 10% of a publicly held stock company’s subscribed capital; and

 

   

any direct or indirect acquisition or sale of shares in any amount, made by a director, receiver, principal executive, general manager or manager of a publicly held stock company.

In addition, majority shareholders of a publicly held stock corporation must inform the SVS and the Chilean stock exchanges if such transactions are entered into with the intention of acquiring control of the company or if they are making a passive financial investment instead.

Under Article 54 of the Securities Market Law and General Rule 104 enacted by the SVS, any person who directly or indirectly intends to take control of a publicly held stock corporation must disclose this intent to the market at least ten business days in advance of the proposed change of control and, in any event, as soon as the negotiations for the change of control have taken place or reserved information of the publicly held stock corporation has been provided.

Corporate Objectives and Purposes

Article 4 of our bylaws states that our corporate objectives and purposes are, among other things, to exploit the production, transportation, distribution and supply of electric power, as well as to provide engineering consultant services, directly or through other companies, in Chile and abroad.

Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors is comprised of nine members who are appointed by shareholders at the OSM of the Company and are elected for a period of three years, at the end of which they will be re-elected or replaced.

The nine directors elected at the OSM are the nine individual nominees who receive the highest majority of the votes. Each shareholder may vote his shares in favor of one nominee or may apportion his shares among any number of nominees.

 

125


Table of Contents

The effect of these voting provisions is to ensure that a shareholder owning more than 10% of our shares is able to elect a member of the Board.

The compensation of the directors is set annually at the OSM. See “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees — B. Compensation.”

Agreements entered into by Endesa Chile with related parties can only be executed when such agreements serve the interest of the Company, and their price, terms and conditions are consistent with prevailing market conditions at the time of their approval and comply with all the requirements and procedures indicated in Article 147 of the Chilean Companies Act.

Certain Powers of the Board of Directors

Our bylaws provide that every agreement or contract that the Company enters into with its controlling shareholder, its directors or executives, or with their related parties, must be previously approved by two thirds of the Board of Directors and be included in the Board meetings and must comply with the provisions of the Chilean Companies Act.

Our bylaws do not contain provisions relating to:

 

   

the directors’ power, in the absence of an independent quorum, to vote on compensation for themselves or any members of their body;

 

   

borrowing powers exercisable by the directors and how such borrowing powers can be varied;

 

   

retirement or non-retirement of directors under an age limit requirement; or

 

   

number of shares, if any, required for directors’ qualification.

Certain Provisions Regarding Shareholder Rights

As of the date of the filing of this Report, Endesa Chile’s capital is comprised of only one class of shares, all of which are ordinary shares and have the same rights.

Our bylaws do not contain any provisions relating to:

 

   

redemption provisions;

 

   

sinking funds; or

 

   

liability for capital calls by the Company.

Under Chilean law, the rights of holders of stock of the Company may only be changed by an amendment to the bylaws that complies with the requirements explained below under “Item 10. Additional Information — B. Memorandum and Articles of Association — Shareholders’ Meetings and Voting Rights.”

Capitalization

Under Chilean law, only the shareholders of a company acting at an ESM have the power to authorize a capital increase. When an investor subscribes for shares, these are officially issued and registered under his name, and the subscriber is treated as a shareholder for all purposes, except receipt of dividends and for return of capital in the event that the shares have been subscribed but not paid for. The subscriber becomes eligible to receive dividends only for the shares that he has actually paid for or, if he has paid for only a portion of such shares, the pro rata portion of the dividends declared with respect to such shares unless the company’s bylaws provide otherwise. If a subscriber does not fully pay for shares for which he has subscribed on or prior to the date agreed upon for payment, notwithstanding the actions intended by the company to collect payment, the company is entitled to auction the shares on the stock exchange where such shares are traded, for the account and risk of the debtor, the number of shares held by the debtor necessary for the company to pay the outstanding balances and disposal expenses. However, until such shares are sold at auction, the subscriber continues to possess all the rights of a shareholder, except the right to receive dividends and return of capital. The chief executive officer or the person replacing him will reduce in the shareholders’ register the number of shares in the name of the debtor shareholder to the number of shares that remain, deducting the shares sold by the company and settling the debt in the amount necessary to cover

the result of such disposal after the corresponding expenses. When there are authorized and issued shares for which full payment has not been made within the period fixed by shareholders at the same ESM at which the subscription was authorized (which in no case may exceed three years from the date of such meeting), this shall be reduced in the non-subscribed amount until that date. With respect to the shares subscribed and not paid following the term mentioned above, the Board must proceed to collect payment, unless the shareholders’ meeting had authorized (by two thirds of the voting shares) to reduce the company’s capital to the amount effectively collected, in which case the capital shall be reduced by force of law to the amount effectively paid. Once collection actions have been exhausted, the Board should propose to the shareholders’ meeting the approval by simple majority of the write-off of the outstanding balance and the reduction of capital to the amount effectively recovered.

As of December 31, 2012, the subscribed and fully paid capital of the Company totaled Ch$ 1.332 billion and consisted of 8,201,754,580 shares.

Preemptive Rights and Increases of Share Capital

The Chilean Companies Act requires Chilean companies to grant shareholders preemptive rights to purchase a sufficient number of shares to maintain their existing ownership percentage of such company whenever such company issues new shares.

Under Chilean law, preemptive rights are exercisable or freely transferable by shareholders during a 30-day period following the day the capital increase is made public. The options to subscribe for shares in capital increases of the company or of any other securities convertible into shares or that confer future rights over these shares, should be offered, at least once, to the shareholders pro rata to the shares held registered in their name at midnight on the fifth business day prior to the date of the start of the preemptive rights period. The preemptive rights offering and the start of the 30-day period for exercising them shall be communicated through the publication of a prominent notice, at least once, in the newspaper that should be used for notifications of shareholders’ meetings. During such 30-day period, and for an additional period of up to 30-days immediately following the initial 30-day period, publicly held stock corporations are not permitted to offer any unsubscribed shares to third parties on terms which are more favorable than those offered to their shareholders. At the end of the second 30-day period, a Chilean publicly held stock corporation is authorized to sell non-subscribed shares to third parties on any terms, provided they are sold on one of the Chilean stock exchanges.

Shareholders’ Meetings and Voting Rights

An OSM must be held within the first four months following the end of our fiscal year. The last OSM was held on April 26 2012. An ESM may be called by the board of directors when deemed appropriate, or when requested by shareholders representing at least 10% of the issued shares with voting rights or by the SVS. To convene an OSM, or an ESM, notice must be given three times in a newspaper located in our corporate domicile. The newspaper designated by our shareholders is El Mercurio de Santiago. The first notice must be published not less than 15 days and no more than 20 days in advance of the scheduled meeting. Notice must also be mailed to each shareholder, to the SVS and to the Chilean stock exchanges.

The OSM shall be held on the day stated in the notice and should remain in session until having exhausted all the matters stated in the notice. However, once constituted, upon the proposal of the chairman or shareholders representing at least 10% of the shares with voting rights, the majority of the shareholders present may agree to suspend it and to continue it within the same day and place, no new constitution of the meeting nor qualification of powers being necessary, recorded in one set of minutes. Only those shareholders who were present or represented may attend the recommencement of the meeting with voting rights.

Under Chilean law, a quorum for a shareholders’ meeting is established by the presence, in person or by proxy, of shareholders representing at least a majority of the issued shares with voting rights of a company. If a quorum is not present at the first meeting, a reconvened meeting can take place at which the shareholders present are deemed to constitute a quorum regardless of the percentage of the shares represented. The second meeting must take place within 45 days following the scheduled date for the first meeting. Shareholders’ meetings adopt resolutions by the affirmative vote of a majority of those shares present or represented at the meeting. An ESM must be called to take the following actions:

 

   

a transformation of the company into a form other than a publicly held stock corporation under the Chilean Companies Act, a merger or split-up of the company;

 

   

an amendment to the term of duration or early dissolution of the company;

 

   

a change in the corporation’s domicile;

 

   

a decrease of corporate capital;

 

127


Table of Contents
   

an approval of capital contributions in kind and non-monetary assessments;

 

   

a modification of the authority reserved to shareholders or limitations on the board of directors;

 

   

a reduction in the number of members of the board of directors;

 

   

a disposition of 50% or more of the assets of the corporation, whether it includes disposition of liabilities or not, as well as the approval or the amendment of the business plan which contemplates the disposition of assets in an amount greater that such percentage;

 

   

the disposition of 50% or more of the assets of a subsidiary, as long as such subsidiary represents at least 20% of the assets of the corporation, as well as any disposition of its shares that results in the parent company losing its position as controller;

 

   

the form of distributing corporate benefits;

 

   

issue of guarantees for third-party liabilities which exceed 50% of the assets, except when the third party is a subsidiary of the company, in which case approval of the board of directors is deemed sufficient;

 

   

the purchase of the corporation’s own shares;

 

   

others established by the bylaws or the laws;

 

   

certain remedies for the nullification of the corporate bylaws;

 

   

inclusion in the bylaws of the right to purchase shares from minority shareholders, when the controlling shareholders reaches 95% of the company’s shares by means of a tender offer for all of the company’s shares, where at least 15% of the shares have been acquired from unrelated shareholders;

 

   

approval or ratification of acts or contracts with related parties.

Regardless of the quorum present, the vote required for any of the actions above is at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares with voting rights.

Bylaw amendments for the creation of a new class of shares, or an amendment to or an elimination of those classes of shares that already exist, must be approved by at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the affected series.

Chilean law does not require a publicly held stock corporation to provide its shareholders the same level and type of information required by the securities laws regarding the solicitation of proxies. However, shareholders are entitled to examine the books of a publicly held stock corporation within the 15-day period before its scheduled OSM. Under Chilean law, a notice of a shareholders meeting listing matters to be addressed at the meeting must be mailed at least 15 days prior to the date of such meeting, and, an indication of the way complete copies of the documents that support the matters submitted for voting can be obtained, which must also be made available to shareholders on the Company’s website. In the case of an OSM, the annual report of the Company’s, activities which includes audited financial statements, must also be made available to shareholders and published on the Company’s website at: www.endesa.cl.

The Chilean Companies Act provides that, upon the request by the Directors’ Committee or by shareholders representing at least 10% of the issued shares with voting rights, a Chilean company’s annual report must include, in addition to the materials provided by the board of directors to shareholders, such shareholders’ comments and proposals in relation to the company’s affairs. In accordance with article 136 of the Chilean Companies Regulation (“Reglamento de Sociedades Anónimas”), the shareholder(s) holding or representing 10% or more of the shares issued with voting rights, may:

 

   

make comments and proposals relating to the progress of the corporate businesses in the corresponding year, no shareholder being able to make individually or jointly more than one presentation. These observations should be presented in writing to the company concisely, responsibly and respectfully, and the respective shareholder(s) should state their willingness for these to be included as an appendix to the annual report. The board shall include in an appendix to the annual report of the year a faithful summary of the pertinent comments and proposals the interested parties had made, provided they are presented during the year or within 30 days after its ending;

 

   

make comments and proposals on matters that the board submits for the knowledge or voting of the shareholders. The board shall include a faithful summary of those comments and proposals in all information it sends to shareholders, provided the shareholders’ proposal is received at the offices of the company at least 10 days prior to the date of dispatch of the information by the company. The shareholders should present to the company their comments and proposals, expressing their willingness for these to be included in the appendix to the respective annual report or in information sent to shareholders, as the case may be. The observations referred to in this Article may be made separately by each shareholder holding 10% or more of the shares issued with voting rights or shareholders who together hold that percentage, who should act as one.

 

128


Table of Contents

Similarly, the Chilean Companies Act provides that whenever the board of directors of a publicly held stock corporation convenes an OSM and solicits proxies for the meeting, or circulates information supporting its decisions or other similar material, it is obligated to include the pertinent comments and proposals that may have been made by the Directors’ Committee or by shareholders owning 10% or more of the shares with voting rights who request that such comments and proposals be so included.

Only shareholders registered as such with Endesa Chile as of 11:59 p.m. on the fifth business days prior to the date of a meeting are entitled to attend and vote their shares. A shareholder may appoint another individual, who does not need to be a shareholder, as his proxy to attend the meeting and vote on his behalf. Proxies for such representation shall be given for all the shares held by the owner. The proxy may contain specific instructions to approve, reject or abstain with respect to any of the matters submitted for voting at the meeting and which were included in the notice. Every shareholder entitled to attend and vote at a shareholders’ meeting shall have one vote for every share subscribed.

There are no limitations imposed by Chilean law or the company’s bylaws on the right of nonresidents or foreigners to hold or vote shares of common stock. However, the registered holder of the shares of common stock represented by ADSs, and evidenced by outstanding ADSs, is the custodian of the Depositary, currently Banco Santander-Chile, or any successor thereto. Accordingly, holders of ADSs are not entitled to receive notice of meetings of shareholders directly or to vote the underlying shares of common stock represented by ADS directly. The Deposit Agreement contains provisions pursuant to which the Depositary has agreed to solicit instructions from registered holders of ADSs as to the exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the shares of common stock represented by the ADSs. Subject to compliance with the requirements of the Deposit Agreement and receipt of such instructions, the Depositary has agreed to endeavor, insofar as practicable and permitted under Chilean law and the provisions of the bylaws, to vote or cause to be voted (or grant a discretionary proxy to the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company or to a person designated by the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the company to vote) the shares of common stock represented by the ADSs in accordance with any such instruction. The Depositary shall not itself exercise any voting discretion over any shares of common stock underlying ADSs. If no voting instructions are received by the Depositary from a holder of ADSs with respect to the shares of common stock represented by the ADSs, on or before the date established by the Depositary for such purpose, the shares of common stock represented by the ADS, may be voted in the manner directed by the Chairman of the Board of the Company, or by a person designated by the Chairman of the Board of the Company, subject to limitations set forth in the Deposit Agreement.

Dividends and Liquidation Rights

According to the Chilean Companies Act, unless otherwise decided by unanimous vote of its issued shares eligible to vote, all companies must distribute a cash dividend in an amount equal to at least 30% of their consolidated net income, before amortization and negative goodwill for each year (calculated according to the local accounting rules applicable to the Company when preparing financial statements to be submitted to the SVS), unless and except to the extent the Company has carried forward losses. The law provides that the board of directors must agree to the dividend policy and inform such policy to the shareholders at the OSM.

Any dividend in excess of 30% of net income may be paid, at the election of the shareholder, in cash, in Endesa Chile’s shares or in shares of publicly held corporations held by Endesa Chile. Shareholders who do not expressly elect to receive a dividend other than in cash are legally presumed to have decided to receive the dividend in cash.

Dividends which are declared but not paid within the appropriate time period set forth in the Chilean Companies Act (as to minimum dividends, 30 days after declaration; as to additional dividends, the date set for payment at the time of declaration) are adjusted to reflect the change in the value of UF, from the date set for payment to the date such dividends are actually paid. Such dividends also accrue interest at the then-prevailing rate for UF-denominated deposits during such period. The right to receive a dividend lapses if it is not claimed within five years from the date such dividend is payable. Payments not collected in such period are transferred for the benefit of the Fire Department, formed by volunteers.

In the event of a liquidation of Endesa Chile, the holders of shares would participate in the assets available in proportion to the number of paid-in shares held by them, after payment to all creditors.

Approval of Financial Statements

The Board of Directors is required to submit Endesa Chile’s consolidated financial statements to the shareholders annually for their approval. If the shareholders by a vote of a majority of shares present (in person or by proxy) at the shareholders’ meeting reject the financial statements, the Board of Directors must submit new financial statements no later than 60 days from the date of such meeting. If the shareholders reject the new financial statements, the entire Board of Directors is deemed removed from office and a new board is elected at the same meeting. Directors who individually approved such financial statements are disqualified for reelection for the following period. Our shareholders have never rejected the financial statements presented by the Board of Directors.

Change of Control

The Capital Markets Law establishes a comprehensive regulation related to tender offers. The law defines a tender offer as the offer to purchase shares of companies which publicly offer their shares or securities convertibles into shares and which offer is made to shareholders to purchase their shares under conditions which allow the bidder to reach a certain percentage of ownership of the company within a fixed period of time. These provisions apply to both voluntary and hostile tender offers.

Acquisition of Shares

There are no provisions in our bylaws that discriminate against any existing or prospective holder of shares as a result of such shareholder owning a substantial number of shares. However, no person may directly or indirectly own more than 65% of the outstanding shares of our stock. The foregoing restriction does not apply to the depositary as record owner of shares represented by ADRs, but it does apply to each beneficial ADS holder. Additionally, our bylaws prohibit any shareholder from exercising voting power with respect to more than 65% of the common stock owned by such shareholder or on behalf of others representing more than 65% of the outstanding issued shares with voting rights.

Right of Dissenting Shareholders to Tender Their Shares

The Chilean Companies Act provides that upon the adoption of any of the resolutions enumerated below at a meeting of shareholders, dissenting shareholders acquire the right to withdraw from the company and to compel the company to repurchase their shares, subject to the fulfillment of certain terms and conditions. In order to exercise such withdrawal rights, holders of ADRs must first withdraw the shares represented by their ADRs pursuant to the terms of the deposit agreement.

“Dissenting” shareholders are defined as those who at a shareholders’ meeting vote against a resolution that results in the withdrawal right, or who if absent from such meeting, state in writing their opposition to the respective resolution, within the 30 days following the shareholders’ meeting. Shareholders present or represented at the meeting and who abstain in exercising their voting rights, shall not be considered as dissenting. The right to withdraw should be exercised for all the shares that the dissenting shareholder had registered in their name on the date on which the right is determined to participate in the meeting at which the resolution is adopted that motivates the withdrawal and which remains on the date on which their intention to withdraw is communicated to the company. The price paid to a dissenting shareholder of a publicly held stock corporation whose shares are quoted and actively traded on one of the Chilean stock exchanges, is the greater of (i) the weighted average of the sales prices for the shares as reported on the Chilean stock exchanges on which the shares are quoted for the two-month period between the ninetieth and the thirtieth day before the shareholders’ meeting giving rise to the withdrawal right, and (ii) the market price resulting from the average price of transactions on such day. If, because of the volume, frequency, number and diversity of the buyers and sellers, the SVS determines that the shares are not actively traded on a stock exchange, the price paid to the dissenting shareholder shall be the book value. Book value for this purpose shall equal paid capital plus reserves and profits, less losses, divided by the total number of subscribed shares, whether entirely or partially paid. For the purpose of making this calculation, the last consolidated statements of financial position is used, as adjusted to reflect inflation up to the date of the shareholders’ meeting which gave rise to the withdrawal right.

Article 126 of the Chilean Companies Regulation establishes that in cases where the right to withdraw arises, the company shall be obliged to inform the shareholders of this situation, the value per share that will be paid to shareholders exercising their right to withdraw and the term for exercising it. Such information should be given to shareholders at the same meeting at which the resolutions are adopted giving rise to the right of withdrawal, prior to its voting. A special communication should be given to the shareholders with rights, within two days following the date on which the rights to withdraw are born. In the case of publicly held companies, such information shall be communicated by a prominent notice in a newspaper with a wide national circulation and on its web site, plus a written communication addressed to the shareholders with rights at the address they have registered with the company. The notice of the shareholders meeting that should pronounce on a matter that could originate withdrawal rights should mention this circumstance.

The resolutions that result in a shareholder’s right to withdraw include, among others, the following:

 

   

the transformation of the company into an entity which is not a publicly held stock corporation governed by Chilean Companies Act;

 

130


Table of Contents
   

the merger of the company with another company;

 

   

disposition of 50% or more of the assets of the corporation, whether it includes disposition of liabilities or not, as well as the approval or the amendment of the business plan which contemplates the disposition of assets in an amount greater than such percentage;

 

   

the disposition of 50% or more of the assets of a subsidiary, as long as such subsidiary represents at least 20% of the assets of the corporation, as well as any disposition of its shares that results in the parent company losing its position of controller;

 

   

issue of guarantees for third parties’ liabilities which exceed 50% of the assets (if the third party is a subsidiary of the company, the approval of the board of directors is sufficient);

 

   

the creation of preferential rights for a class of shares or an amendment to the existing ones. In this case the right to withdraw only accrues to the dissenting shareholders of the class or classes of shares adversely affected;

 

   

certain remedies for the nullification of the corporate bylaws; and

 

   

such other causes as may be established by the law or by the company’s bylaws.

Investments by AFPs

The Pension Funds’ System Law permits AFPs to invest their funds in companies that are subject to Title XII and, subject to greater restrictions, in other companies. The determination of which stocks may be purchased by AFPs is made by the Risk Classification Committee. The Risk Classification Committee establishes investment guidelines and is empowered to approve or disapprove those companies that are eligible for AFP investments. Endesa Chile has been a Title XII Company since 1987 and is approved by the Risk Classification Committee.

Title XII companies are required to have bylaws that limit the ownership of any shareholder to a specified maximum percentage, that require that certain actions be taken only at a meeting of the shareholders and bylaws that give the shareholders the right to approve certain investment and financing policies.

Registrations and Transfers

Shares issued by Endesa Chile are registered with an administrative agent named DCV Registros S.A. This entity is responsible for Endesa Chile’s shareholders registry as well. In case of jointly owned shares, an attorney-in-fact must be appointed to represent the joint owners in dealing with Endesa Chile.

 

C. Material Contracts

None.

 

D. Exchange Controls

The Central Bank of Chile is responsible for, among other things, monetary policies and exchange controls in Chile. Currently applicable foreign exchange regulations are set forth in the Compendium of Foreign Exchange Regulations (the “Compendium”) approved by the Central Bank of Chile in 2002. Appropriate registration of a foreign investment in Chile permits the investor access to the Formal Exchange Market. Foreign investments can be registered with the Foreign Investment Committee under D.L. 600 of 1974 or can be registered with the Central Bank of Chile under the Central Bank Act, Law 18840 of October 1989.

 

a) Foreign Investments Contracts and Chapter XXVI

Regarding our initial public offering of ADS in 1994, we entered into a foreign investment contract (the “Foreign Investment Contract”) with the Central Bank of Chile and the Depositary, pursuant to Article 47 of the Central Bank Act and Chapter XXVI of the former Compendium of Foreign Exchange Regulations (“Chapter XXVI”), which governed the issuance of ADS by a Chilean

Table of Contents

company. Pursuant to the Foreign Investment Contract, the foreign exchange for payments and distributions with respect to the ADS may be purchased in either the Formal Exchange Market or the Informal Exchange Market, but such payments must be necessarily remitted through the Formal Exchange Market.

As of April 19, 2001, Chapter XXVI was eliminated and new investments in ADSs by non-residents of Chile are now governed instead by Chapter XIV of the Compendium. This change was made with the purpose of simplifying and facilitating the flow of capital to and from Chile. As a result of the elimination of Chapter XXVI, access to the Formal Exchange Market is no longer assured. However, because our Foreign Investment Contract was entered into pursuant to Chapter XXVI, the principles of Chapter XXVI still apply to its terms. Foreign investors who have purchased their shares under a Foreign Investment Contract pursuant to Chapter XXVI continue to have access to the Formal Exchange Market for the purpose of converting pesos to U.S. dollars and repatriating from Chile amounts received with respect to the deposited shares of common stock or shares of common stock withdrawn from deposit on surrender of ADRs (including amounts received as cash dividends and proceeds from the sale in Chile of the underlying shares of common stock and any rights with respect thereto). However, foreign investors who have not deposited the shares of common stock into our ADS facility will not have the benefits of our Foreign Investment Contract with the Central Bank of Chile but instead will be subject to the normal foreign investment rules.

The following is a summary of certain provisions which were contained in Chapter XXVI and the Foreign Investment Contract, and which therefore remain relevant. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Chapter XXVI and the Foreign Investment Contract.

Under Chapter XXVI and the Foreign Investment Contract, the Central Bank of Chile agreed to grant to the Depositary, on behalf of ADR holders, and to any investor not residing or domiciled in Chile who withdraws common stock upon delivery of ADRs (such shares of common stock being referred to herein as Withdrawn Shares) access to the Formal Exchange Market to convert pesos into U.S. dollars (and to remit such U.S. dollars outside of Chile), including amounts received as:

 

   

cash dividends;

 

   

proceeds from the sale in Chile of Withdrawn Shares subject to receipt by the Central Bank of Chile of a certificate from the holder of the Withdrawn Shares (or from an institution authorized by the Central Bank of Chile) that such holder’s residence and domicile are outside Chile and a certificate from a Chilean stock exchange (or from a brokerage or securities firm established in Chile) that such Withdrawn Shares were sold on a Chilean stock exchange;

 

   

proceeds from the sale in Chile of rights to subscribe for additional shares of Common Stock;

 

   

proceeds from the liquidation, merger or consolidation of our Company; and

 

   

other distributions, including, without limitation, those resulting from any recapitalization, as a result of holding shares of Common Stock represented by ADS or Withdrawn Shares.

Transferees of Withdrawn Shares were not entitled to any of the foregoing rights under Chapter XXVI. Investors receiving Withdrawn Shares in exchange for ADRs had the right to redeposit such shares in exchange for ADRs, provided that certain conditions relating to redeposit were satisfied.

Chapter XXVI provided that access to the Formal Exchange Market in connection with dividend payments was conditioned upon certification by us to the Central Bank of Chile that a dividend payment has been made and any applicable tax has been withheld. Chapter XXVI also provided that the access to the Formal Exchange Market in connection with the sale of Withdrawn Shares or distributions thereon was conditioned upon receipt by the Central Bank of Chile of certification by the Depositary (or the Custodian on its behalf) that such shares have been withdrawn in exchange for ADRs and receipt of a waiver of the benefit of the Foreign Investment Contract with respect thereto until such Withdrawn Shares were redeposited.

The Foreign Investment Contract provides that a person who brings foreign currency into Chile to purchase shares of common stock with the benefit of the Foreign Investment Contract must convert it into pesos on the same day and has five banking business days within which to invest in shares of common stock in order to receive the benefits of the Foreign Investment Contract. If such person decides within such period not to acquire shares of common stock, such person can access the Formal Exchange Market to reacquire U.S. dollars, provided that the applicable request is presented to the Central Bank of Chile within seven banking business days of the initial conversion into pesos. Shares acquired as described above may be deposited for ADRs and receive the benefits of the Foreign Investment Contract, subject to receipt by the Central Bank of Chile of a certificate from the Depositary (or the Custodian on its behalf) that such deposit has been effected, that the related ADRs have been issued and receipt of a declaration from the person making such deposit waiving the benefits of the Foreign Investment Contract with respect to the deposited shares of common stock.

 

132


Table of Contents

Access to the Formal Exchange Market under any of the circumstances described above is not automatic. Such access requires approval of the Central Bank of Chile based on a request presented through a banking institution established in Chile. The Foreign Investment Contract provides that if the Central Bank of Chile has not acted on such request within seven banking days, the request will be deemed approved.

Under current Chilean law, the Foreign Investment Contract cannot be changed unilaterally by the Central Bank of Chile. It is not certain, however, that additional Chilean restrictions applicable to the holders of ADRs, the disposition of underlying shares of Common Stock or the repatriation of the proceeds from such disposition could not be imposed in the future, nor can there be any assessment of the duration or impact of such restrictions, if imposed.

The Compendium and International Bond Issuances

Chilean issuers may offer bonds issued by the Central Bank of Chile internationally under Chapter XIV, as amended, of the Compendium.

Chilean Tax Considerations

The following discussion summarizes material Chilean income and withholding tax consequences to foreign holders arising from the ownership and disposition of ADS rights, rights, shares and ADSs. The summary that follows does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase, own or dispose of ADS rights, rights, shares or ADSs and does not purport to deal with the tax consequences applicable to all categories of investors, some of which may be subject to special rules. Holders of shares and ADSs are advised to consult their own tax advisors concerning the Chilean and other tax consequences of the ownership of shares or ADSs.

The summary that follows is based on Chilean law, as in effect on the date hereof, and is subject to any changes in these or other laws occurring after such date, possibly with retroactive effect. Under Chilean law, provisions contained in statutes such as tax rates applicable to foreign investors, the computation of taxable income for Chilean purposes and the manner in which Chilean taxes are imposed and collected may be amended only by another law. In addition, the Chilean tax authorities enact rulings and regulations of either general or specific application and interpret the provisions of the Chilean Income Tax Law. Chilean tax may not be assessed retroactively against taxpayers who act in good faith relying on such rulings, regulations and interpretations, but Chilean tax authorities may change their rulings, regulations and interpretations in the future. The discussion that follows is also based, in part, on representations of the depositary, and assumes that each obligation in the Deposit Agreement and any related agreements will be performed in accordance with its terms. As of this date, there is currently no applicable income tax treaty in effect between the United States and Chile. However, in 2010 the United States and Chile signed an income tax treaty that will enter into force once the treaty is ratified by both countries. There can be no assurance that the treaty will be ratified by either country. The following summary assumes that there is no applicable income tax treaty in effect between the United States and Chile.

As used in this Report, the term “foreign holder” means either:

 

   

in the case of an individual holder, a person who is not a resident of Chile; for purposes of Chilean taxation, an individual is resident of Chile if he or she has resided in Chile for more than six months in one calendar year, or a total of more than six months in two consecutive fiscal years; or

 

   

in the case of a legal entity holder, an entity that is not organized under the laws of Chile, unless the shares or ADSs are assigned to a branch, agent, representative or permanent establishment of such entity in Chile.

Taxation of Shares and ADSs

Taxation of Cash Dividends and Property Distributions

General Rule: Cash dividends paid with respect to the shares or ADSs held by a foreign holder will be subject to Chilean withholding tax, which is withheld and paid by the company. As described in the example below, the amount of the Chilean withholding tax is determined by applying a 35% rate to a “grossed-up” distribution amount (such amount equal to the sum of the actual distribution amount and the correlative Chilean corporate income tax paid by the issuer), and then subtracting as a credit such correlative Chilean corporate income tax paid by the issuer. For years 2004 through 2010, the Chilean corporate income tax rate was 17%; for 2011 and hereafter the rate is 20%. The example below illustrates the effective Chilean withholding tax burden on a cash

dividend received by a foreign holder, assuming a Chilean withholding tax base rate of 35%, an effective Chilean corporate income tax rate of 20% and a distribution of 50% of the net income of the company distributable after payment of the Chilean corporate income tax:

Effective dividend withholding rate : Line 7 / Line 4

      18.75%

In general, the effective Chilean dividend withholding tax rate, after giving effect to the credit for the Chilean corporate income tax paid by the company, can be computed using the following formula:

 

Effective Dividend   =               (Withholding tax rate) - (Chilean corporate income tax rate)
Withholding Tax Rate                                 1 - (Chilean corporate income tax rate)

Using the prevailing rates, the Effective Dividend Withholding Rate =

                                                                        (35%-20%) / (100%-20%) = 18.75%

Dividends are generally assumed to have been paid out of the Company’s oldest retained profits for purposes of determining the level of Chilean corporate income tax that was paid by the Company. For information as to the retained earnings of the Company for tax purposes and the tax credit available on the distribution of such retained earnings, see Note 15 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Report.

Under Chilean Income Tax Law, dividend distributions made in property are subject to the same Chilean tax rules as cash dividends. Stock dividends that represent free shares distributed to foreign shareholders as a consequence of a capitalization made on the same corporation are not subject to Chilean taxation.

Exceptions: Despite the aforementioned general rule, there are special circumstances under which a different tax treatment would apply depending on the source of the income or due to special circumstances existing at the date of the dividend distribution. The most common special cases are briefly described below:

1)    Circumstances where there is no corporate income tax credit against the Chilean withholding tax: These cases are when: (i) the financial book profits paid as dividends (following the seniority rule indicated above) exceed the Company’s taxable income (such dividend distributions in excess of the company’s taxable income determined as of December 31 of the distribution’s year will be subject to the Chilean withholding tax rate of 35%, without the corporate income tax credit; in relation to the provisional withholding rule applicable on the date of the dividend payment, please see number 3 below); or (ii) the income was not subject to corporate income tax due to an exemption of the Chilean corporate income tax, in which case the foreign holder will be also subject to the Chilean withholding tax rate of 35% without the corporate income tax credit.

2)    Circumstances where dividends have been imputed to income exempted from all the Chilean income taxes: In these cases, dividends distributed by the company to the foreign holder will not be subject to Chilean withholding tax. Income exempted from Chilean income tax is expressly listed in the Chilean Income Tax Law.

3)    Circumstances where dividends are subject to a provisional withholding tax: In the event that on the date of the dividend distribution there are no earnings on which income tax has been paid and there are no tax-exempt earnings, a 35% Chilean withholding tax with a provisional 20% Chilean corporate income tax credit is applicable. This provisional 20% Chilean corporate income tax credit granted must be confirmed with the information of Company’s taxable income as of December 31 of the year in which the dividend was paid. The company can agree with the foreign holders to withhold a higher amount in order to avoid under withholding of the Chilean withholding tax.

4)    Circumstances when it is possible to use in Chile certain credits against income taxes paid abroad, or “foreign tax credit”: This occurs when dividends distributed by the Chilean company have as their source income generated by companies domiciled in third countries. If that income was subject to withholding tax or corporate income tax in those third countries, such income will have a credit or “foreign tax credit” against corresponding Chilean taxes, which can be proportionally transferred to the shareholders of the Chilean company.

Taxation on sale or exchange of ADSs, outside Chile

 Gains obtained by a foreign holder from the sale or exchange of ADSs outside Chile will not be subject to Chilean taxation.

Taxation on sale or exchange of Shares

 The Chilean Income Tax Law includes a tax exemption on capital gains arising from the sale of shares of listed companies traded in the stock markets. Although there are certain restrictions, in general terms, the amendment provides that in order to qualify for the capital gain exemption: (i) the shares must be of a publicly held stock corporation with a certain minimum level of trading on a stock exchange; (ii) the sale must be carried out in a Chilean stock exchange, or in a tender offer subject to Chapter XXV of the Chilean Securities Market Law; (iii) the shares which are being sold must have been acquired on a Chilean stock exchange, or in a tender offer subject to Chapter XXV of the Chilean Securities Market Law, or in an initial public offering (due to the creation of a company or to a capital increase), or due to the exchange of convertible bonds; and (iv) the shares must have been acquired after April 19, 2001.

If the shares do not qualify for the above exemption, capital gains on their sale or exchange of shares (as distinguished from sales or exchanges of ADSs representing such shares of common stock) could be subject to two alternative tax regimes: (a) general tax regime, with a 20% Chilean corporate income tax and a 35% Chilean withholding tax, the former being creditable against the latter; or (b) a 20% Chilean corporate income tax as sole tax regime, when all the following circumstances are met: (i) the sale is made between unrelated parties, (ii) the sale of shares is not a recurrent or habitual activity for the seller and (iii) at least one year has elapsed between the acquisition and the sale of the shares.

The date of acquisition of the ADSs is considered to be the date of acquisition of the shares for which the ADSs are exchanged.

Taxation of Rights and ADS Rights

 For Chilean tax purposes, the receipt of rights or ADS rights by a foreign holder of shares or ADSs pursuant to a rights offering is a nontaxable event. In addition, there are no Chilean income tax consequences to foreign holders upon the exercise or the lapse of the rights or the ADS rights.

Any gain on the sale, exchange or transfer of the ADS rights by a foreign holder is not subject to taxes in Chile.

Any gain on the sale, exchange or transfer of the rights by a foreign holder is subject to a 35% Chilean withholding tax.

Other Chilean Taxes

 There is no gift, inheritance or succession tax applicable to the ownership, transfer or disposition of ADSs by foreign holders, but such taxes will generally apply to the transfer at death or by gift of the shares by a foreign holder. There is no Chilean stamp, issue, registration or similar taxes or duties payable by holders of shares or ADSs.

Material U.S. Income Tax Considerations

This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and final, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations, all as of the date hereof. These authorities are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. This discussion assumes that the depositary’s activities are clearly and appropriately defined so as to ensure that the tax treatment of ADSs will be identical to the tax treatment of the underlying shares.

The following are the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders (as defined herein) of receiving, owning and disposing of ADS rights, rights, shares or ADSs, but it does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to a particular person’s decision to hold such securities and is based on the assumption stated above under “Chilean Tax Considerations” that there is no applicable income tax treaty in effect between the United States and Chile. The discussion applies only if the beneficial owner holds shares or ADSs as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes and it does not describe all of the tax consequences that may be relevant in light of the beneficial owner’s particular circumstances. For instance, it does not describe all the tax consequences that may be relevant to:

 

   

certain financial institutions;

 

135


Table of Contents
   

insurance companies;

 

   

dealers and traders in securities who use a mark-to-market method of tax accounting;

 

   

persons holding shares or ADSs as part of a “straddle”, integrated transaction or similar transaction;

 

   

persons whose functional currency for U.S. federal income tax purposes is not the U.S. dollar;

 

   

partnerships or other entities classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

 

   

persons liable for the alternative minimum tax;

 

   

tax-exempt organizations;

 

   

persons holding shares or ADSs that own or are deemed to own ten percent or more of our stock; or

 

   

persons holding shares or ADSs in connection with a trade or business conducted outside of the United States.

If an entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds shares or ADSs, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership. Partnerships holding shares or ADSs and partners in such partnerships should consult their tax advisors as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of the shares or ADSs.

You are a “U.S. Holder” for purposes of this discussion if you are a beneficial owner of our shares or ADSs and if you are, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

 

   

a citizen or individual resident of the United States; or

 

   

a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof; or

 

   

an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

 

   

a trust (i) that validly elects to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (ii) if (A) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and (B) one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust.

In general, if a beneficial owner owns ADSs, such owner will be treated as the owner of the shares represented by those ADSs for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, no gain or loss will be recognized if a beneficial owner exchanges ADSs for the underlying shares represented by those ADSs.

The U.S. Treasury has expressed concerns that parties to whom ADSs are released before shares are delivered to the depositary (pre-release) or intermediaries in the chain of ownership between beneficial owners and the issuer of the security underlying the ADSs may be taking actions that are inconsistent with the claiming of foreign tax credits for beneficial owners of depositary shares. Such actions would also be inconsistent with the claiming of the reduced tax rate, described below, applicable to dividends received by certain non-corporate beneficial owners. Accordingly, the analysis of the creditability of Chilean taxes, and the availability of the reduced tax rate for dividends received by certain non-corporate holders, each described below, could be affected by actions taken by such parties or intermediaries.

This discussion assumes, and the Company believes, that it is not, and will not become, a passive foreign investment company, as described below.

Beneficial owners should consult their tax advisors with respect to their particular tax consequences of owning or disposing of shares or ADSs, including the applicability and effect of state, local, non-U.S. and other tax laws and the possibility of changes in tax laws.

Taxation of Distributions

Distributions paid on shares or ADSs other than certain pro rata distributions of shares of common stock will be treated as dividends taxable as ordinary income to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Because we do not maintain calculations of our earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles, it is expected that distributions generally will be reported as dividends.

 

136


Table of Contents

If a beneficial owner is a U.S. Holder, subject to applicable limitations and the discussion above regarding concerns expressed by the U.S. Treasury, dividends paid by qualified foreign corporations to the beneficial owner that is not a corporation are taxable at a maximum rate of 20%. A foreign company is treated as a qualified foreign corporation with respect to dividends paid on stock that is readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States, such as the New York Stock Exchange where our ADSs are traded. A beneficial owner should consult its tax advisors to determine whether the favorable rate will apply to dividends it receives and whether it is subject to any special rules that limit its ability to be taxed at this favorable rate.

The amount of a dividend will include the net amount withheld by us in respect of Chilean withholding taxes on the distribution. The amount of the dividend will be treated as foreign-source dividend income to a beneficial owner and will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally allowed to U.S. corporations under the Code. Dividends will be included in a beneficial owner’s income on the date of its, or in the case of ADSs, the Depositary’s, receipt of the dividend. The amount of any dividend paid in Chilean pesos will be a U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate for converting Chilean pesos into U.S. dollars in effect on the date of such receipt regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars. If the dividend is converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a beneficial owner generally should not be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the dividend income. A beneficial owner may have foreign currency gain or loss if the dividend is converted into U.S. dollars on a date after the date of receipt.

Subject to applicable limitations that may vary depending upon a beneficial owner’s circumstances and subject to the discussion above regarding concerns expressed by the U.S. Treasury, the net amount of Chilean withholding tax (after reduction for the credit for Chilean corporate income tax, as discussed above under “Item 10. Additional Information — E. Taxation — Chilean Tax Considerations — Taxation of Shares and ADSs — Taxation of Cash Dividends and Property Distributions”) withheld from dividends on shares or ADSs will be creditable against a beneficial owner’s U.S. federal income tax liability. The rules governing foreign tax credits are complex and, therefore, a beneficial owner should consult its tax advisor regarding the availability of foreign tax credits in its particular circumstances. Instead of claiming a credit, a beneficial owner may, at its election, deduct such Chilean taxes in computing its taxable income, subject to generally applicable limitations under U.S. law. An election to deduct foreign taxes instead of claiming foreign tax credits applies to all taxes paid or accrued in the taxable year to foreign countries and possessions of the United States.

Sale or Other Disposition of Shares or ADSs

If a beneficial owner is a U.S. Holder, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the gain or loss a beneficial owner realizes on the sale or other disposition of shares or ADSs will be a capital gain or loss, and will be a long-term capital gain or loss if the beneficial holder has held the shares or ADSs for more than one year. The amount of a beneficial owner’s gain or loss will equal the difference between the beneficial owner’s tax basis in the shares or ADSs disposed of and the amount realized on the disposition, in each case as determined in U.S. dollars. Such gain or loss will generally be U.S.-source gain or loss for foreign tax credit purposes. In addition, certain limitations exist on the deductibility of capital losses by both corporate and individual taxpayers.

In certain circumstances, Chilean taxes may be imposed upon the sale of shares. See “Item 10. Additional Information — E. Taxation — Chilean Tax Considerations — Taxation of Shares and ADSs”. If a Chilean tax is imposed on the sale or disposition of shares, and a beneficial owner that is a U.S. Holder does not receive significant foreign source income from other sources, such beneficial owner may not be able to credit such Chilean tax against its U.S. federal income tax liability.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

We believe that we were not a “passive foreign investment company” (“PFIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our 2012 taxable year and do not expect to be or become one for our 2013 taxable year or for the foreseeable future. However, because PFIC status depends upon the composition of a company’s income and assets and the market value of its assets from time to time, and because it is unclear whether certain types of our income constitute passive income for PFIC purposes, there can be no assurance that we will not be considered a PFIC for any taxable year. If we were a PFIC for 2012 or for any prior or future taxable year during which a beneficial owner held shares or ADSs, certain adverse consequences could apply to the beneficial owner, including the imposition of higher amounts of tax than would otherwise apply, and additional filing requirements. A beneficial owner should consult its tax advisors regarding the consequences to it if we were a PFIC, as well as the availability and advisability of making any election that might mitigate the adverse consequences of PFIC status.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Payments of dividends and sales proceeds that are made within the United States or through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries generally are subject to information reporting and to backup withholding unless (i) the beneficial owner is an exempt recipient or (ii) in the case of backup withholding, the beneficial owner provides a correct taxpayer identification number and certifies that it is not subject to backup withholding.

 

137


Table of Contents

 The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a beneficial owner will be allowed as a credit against its U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle it to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.

Medicare Contribution Tax

 Legislation enacted in 2010 generally imposes a tax of 3.8% on the “net investment income” of certain individuals, trusts and estates. Among other items, net investment income generally includes gross income from dividends and net gain attributable to the disposition of certain property, like the shares, ADSs, less certain deductions. A beneficial owner should consult its tax advisor regarding the possible application of this legislation in its particular circumstances.

 A beneficial owner should consult its tax advisors with respect to the particular consequences to it of receiving, owning or disposing of shares or ADSs.

Item 11.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is exposed to risks arising from changes in commodity prices, interest rates and foreign exchange rates. These risks are monitored and managed by the Company in coordination with Enersis, our parent company. The Company’s Board of Directors approves risk management policies at all levels.

Commodity Price Risk

We are exposed to market risks arising from the price volatility of electricity, natural gas, diesel oil, and coal. Natural gas is used in some of our power plants in South America. We seek to ensure our supply of this fuel by securing long-term contracts with our suppliers for terms that are expected to match the lifetime of our generation assets. These contracts generally have provisions that allow us to purchase gas at market prices prevailing at the time the purchase occurs. As of December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 and, we did not hold any contracts classified as either derivative financial instruments, financial instruments, or derivative commodity instruments related to natural gas.

In the countries where we operate using coal and diesel oil, the dispatch mechanism allows the thermal power plants to cover their operational costs. However, under certain circumstances, fuel price fluctuations might affect marginal costs. We transfer commodity prices variations to the sale contract prices according to indexing formulas but only to the degree that this is possible in our different markets. Because of the drought in Chile and price volatility of coal and petroleum, the Company decided to hedge this risk with commodity instruments available in international markets. As of December 31, 2012, we hold contracts classified as derivative commodity instruments related to coal (365,000 tonnes) and to petroleum (462,000 barrels), both deals for the period between January and June 2013.

 

138


Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010 we did not hold any contracts classified as either derivative financial instruments, financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments related either to coal or to diesel oil.

Additionally, through adequate commercial risk mitigation policies, and a hydro-thermal power plant mix, we seek to naturally protect our operating income from electricity price volatility. As of December 31, 2012, as of the end of the latest fiscal year, we did not hold electricity price-sensitive instruments.

The Company is permanently analyzing ways for hedging commodity price risk.

Interest Rate Risk

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, 29.2% and 17.2%, respectively, of our outstanding net debt obligations were subject to floating interest rates.

We manage interest rate risk by maintaining a mixture of both variable and fixed rate debt, according to the policy approved by the Board of Directors. Additionally, we manage interest rate risk through the use of interest rate derivatives. The above percentages include the effect of interest rate derivatives (swaps or collars) that hedge part of our debt.

Foreign Currency Risk

We are exposed to foreign currency risk arising from debt denominated in U.S. dollars, Chilean pesos and other currencies. Some of our subsidiaries have a natural hedge between their revenues and the currency of their debt. For example, in the case of Emgesa in Colombia, its revenues and its debt are linked to the Colombian peso. In other cases, we do not have this natural hedge, and therefore we try to manage this exposure with currency derivatives, such as U.S. dollar/UF exchange and U.S. dollar/local currency derivatives. However, this is not always possible because of market conditions. For example, in the case of Endesa Costanera in Argentina, its revenues are linked to the Argentine peso and a substantial part of its debt is denominated in U.S. dollars, with no possibility of obtaining reasonable terms to hedge for this debt. Our corporate currency risk policy has been in effect since 2004. This policy considers the level of operating income of each country that is indexed to the U.S. dollar and seeks a hedge with liabilities in the same currency.

Item 15. Controls and Procedures

a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13 (a)-15 (e) and 15 (d)-15 (e) under the Exchange Act) for the year ended December 31, 2012.

There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error, and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Based upon the Company’s evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files and submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is gathered and communicated to the Company’s Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level.

As required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, Endesa Chile’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining “adequate internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in Rule 13 (a)-15 (f) under the Exchange Act). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the IASB.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not necessarily prevent or detect some misstatements. It can only provide reasonable assurance regarding financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness for future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or because the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate over time.

Management assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2012. The assessment was based on criteria established in the “Internal Controls — Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on the assessment, Endesa Chile’s Management has concluded that as of December 31, 2012, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.

(c) Attestation Report

KPMG Auditores Consultores Ltda., the independent registered public accounting firm that has audited our Consolidated Financial Statements, has issued an attestation report on the company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012. This attestation report appears on page F-3.

(d) Changes in internal control

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 16. [Reserved]

 

Item 16A. Audit Committee Financial Expert

As of December 31, 2012, the Directors’ Committee’s (which performs the functions of the Audit Committee) financial expert was Mr. Enrique Cibié, as determined by the Board of Directors. Mr. Cibié is an independent member of the Directors’ Committee, pursuant to the requirement of both Chilean law and NYSE corporate governance rules.

 

Item 16B. Code of Ethics

The standards of ethical conduct at Endesa Chile are currently governed by means of five corporate rulings or policies: the Charter Governing Executives, the Employee Code of Conduct, the Code of Ethics, the Zero Tolerance Anti-Corruption Plan (the “ZTAC Plan”) and the Manual for the Management of Information of Interest to the Market (the “Manual”).

The Charter Governing Executives was adopted by the Board of Directors in July 2003 and is applicable to all executives contractually related to Endesa Chile or its controlled subsidiaries in which it is the majority shareholder, both in Chile and abroad, including the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and other senior officers of the Company. The objective of this set of rules is to establish standards for the governance of our management’s actions, the behavior of management with respect to the principles governing their actions and the limitations and incompatibilities involved, all within Endesa Chile’s vision, mission and values. Likewise, the Employee Code of Conduct explains our principles and ethical values, establishes the rules governing our contact with customers and suppliers, and establishes the principles that should be followed by employees, including ethical conduct, professionalism and confidentiality. Both documents also impose limitations on the activities that our executives and other employees may undertake outside the scope of their employment with us.

The Manual, adopted by Endesa Chile’s Board of Directors in May 2008 and amended on February 2010, addresses the following issues: applicable standards to the transactions of the Company’s securities or those of its affiliates by directors, management, principal executives, employees and other related parties; existence of blackout periods for such transactions by directors, management, principal executives, employees and other related parties; existence of mechanisms for the continuous release of information that is of interest to the market; and mechanisms that provide protection for confidential information.

In addition to the above mentioned corporate governance rules, the Board of the Company, approved the Code of Ethics and the ZTAC Plan in its meeting held on June 24, 2010. The Code of Ethics is based on general principles such as impartiality, honesty, integrity and other qualities of similar importance, which are translated into detailed behavioral criteria. The ZTAC Plan reinforces the principles included in the Code of Ethics, but with a special emphasis in avoiding corruption, in the form of bribery, preferential treatment, and other similar acts.

A copy of these documents is available upon request, free of charge, by writing or calling us at:

During fiscal year 2012, there have been no amendments to any provisions of the abovementioned documents. No waivers from any provisions of the Charter Governing Executives, the Code of Ethics, the ZTAC Plan or the Manual, were expressly or implicitly granted to the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer or any other senior financial officer of the Company in fiscal year 2012.

(1) The Audit Fees increase during 2012 was mainly due to the interim financial statement review provided to Endesa Chile for their subsidiaries to support holding investment restructuring for US$ 245,000. This service was pre-approved following the Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures.

The amounts included in the table above and the related footnotes have been classified in accordance with SEC guidance.

All of the fees disclosed under Audit-Related Fees and All Other Fees were pre-approved by the Directors’ Committee.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

Our external auditors are appointed by our shareholders at the OSM. Similarly, the shareholders of our subsidiaries, which are located in countries where applicable law and regulation so establishes, appoint such subsidiaries’ external auditors.

The Directors’ Committee (which performs the functions of the Audit Committee), through the Economic Financial General Directorate, or EFGD, manages appointment proposals, reviews engagement letters, renegociates fees, performs quality controls in respect of the services provided, reviews and controls independence issues and other related matters.

The Directors’ Committee has a pre-approval policy regarding the contracting of Endesa Chile’s external auditor, or any affiliate of the external auditor, for professional services. The professional services covered by such policy include audit and non-audit services provided to Endesa Chile.

Fees payable in connection with recurring audit services are approved as part of our annual budget. Fees payable in connection with nonrecurring audit services, once they have been analyzed by the EFGD, are submitted to the Directors’ Committee for approval or rejection.

The pre-approval policy established by the Directors’ Committee for non-audit services and Audit-Related Fees is as follows:

 

   

the business unit that has requested the service and the audit firm requested to perform the service must request that the EFGD manager review the nature of the service to be provided.

 

   

at that point, the EFGD analyzes the request and requires the audit firm that has been requested to provide the service issue a certificate signed by the partner responsible for the audit of our consolidated financial statements confirming such audit firm’s independence.

 

   

finally, the proposal is submitted to the Directors’ Committee for approval or rejection.

The services described in footnote (2) to the table above and All Other Fees have been approved in line with the procedure described immediately above since July 2005.

In addition, due to the SEC release number 34-53677 File No. PCAOB-2006-01 (Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Certain Tax Services), the Directors’ Committee has designed, approved and implemented the necessary procedures to fulfill the new requirements described by this rule.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. (Endesa-Chile):

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Endesa-Chile and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2012. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of certain subsidiaries, which statements reflect total assets constituting 33.36 percent and 30.05 percent of the Company’s consolidated total asset position as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and total revenues constituting 37.36 percent, 35.29 percent and 20.04 percent of the Company’s consolidated revenues for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In addition, we did not audit the financial statements of Endesa Brasil S.A. (a 40.45% percent owner investee Company). The Company’s investment in Brazil at December 31, 2012 and 2011 was M$ 574,168,681 and M$569,012,759 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and its equity earning was M$107,503,620, M$115,355,267 and M$90,667,296 for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Those consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with the local statutory accounting basis were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for those entities on such basis of accounting, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors. Accordingly, we have audited the conversion adjustments to the financial statements of these subsidiaries and nonsubsidiary investees prepared in accordance with the local statutory accounting basis to conform them to the Company’s accounting basis referred to below.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the reports of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Table of Contents

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of the other auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Endesa-Chile and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Endesa-Chile’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 20, 2013, expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. (Endesa-Chile):

We have audited Endesa-Chile’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Endesa-Chile’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Endesa-Chile’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Endesa-Chile maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated statement of financial position of Endesa-Chile and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in stockholder’s equity, and cash flows for each of years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2012, and our report dated March 20, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Endesa Brasil S.A.

Niterói—RJ, Brazil

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Endesa Brasil S.A. and subsidiaries (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (not presented herein).

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in conformity with accounting practices adopted in Brazil; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Endesa Brasil S.A. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting practices adopted in Brazil.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Endesa Brasil S.A.

Niterói – RJ

We have audited the consolidated statements of income, statements of comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows of Endesa Brasil S.A., and subsidiaries (the “Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2010. These financial statements, prepared in conformity with accounting practices adopted in Brazil and presented in Brazilian reais, are the responsibility of the Company’s Management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the results of their operations and their cash flows of Endesa Brasil S.A and subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting practices adopted in Brazil.

The consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 have been restated to correct the classification of certain cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities.

As a result of the application of IFRS 11, Joint Agreements, as of January 1, 2013, the joint venture companies which were consolidated on a proportional basis until the close of these financial statements (see Notes 2.4, 2.6 and 11.2), will be accounted for using the equity method, as required under the new standard for joint agreements that qualify as joint ventures.

The Group is assessing the impact of applying IFRS 9 from the date it goes into effect. In Management’s opinion, the application of other standards, interpretations, and amendments pending application will not have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements of Endesa Chile and it’s subsidiaries.

The following shows the principal headings of the consolidated financial statements of Endesa Chile. In order to reflect the effects of retrospectively applying of IFRS 11 Joint Agreements:

Responsibility for the information and estimates made

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the information contained in these consolidated financial statements and expressly states that all IFRS principles and standards have been fully implemented.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, certain estimates made by the Company’s management have been used to quantify some of the assets, liabilities, income, expenses, and commitments recorded in the statements.

 

 

F-24


Table of Contents

 

 

These estimates basically refer to:

 

   

The valuation of assets and goodwill to determine the existence of impairment losses (see Note 3.d).

 

   

The assumptions used to calculate the actuarial liabilities and obligations to employees, such as discount rates, mortality tables, salary raises, etc, (see Note 21).

 

   

The useful life of property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets (see Notes 3.a and 3.c).

 

   

The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of financial instruments (see Notes 3.f.5 and 18).

 

   

Energy supplied to customers whose meter readings are pending.

 

   

Certain assumptions inherent in the electricity system affecting transactions with other companies, such as production, customer billings, energy consumption, etc. that allow for estimating electricity system settlements that must occur on the corresponding final settlement dates, but that are pending as of the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements and could affect the balances of assets, liabilities, income and expenses recorded in the statements.

 

   

The probability that uncertain or contingent liabilities will be incurred and their related amounts (see Note 3.j).

 

   

Future disbursements for the closure of facilities and restoration of land (see Note 3.a).

 

   

The tax results of the various subsidiaries of Endesa Chile that will be reported to the respective tax authorities in the future, and that have served as the basis for recording different balances related to income taxes in these consolidated financial statements (see Note 3.m).

Although these estimates have been based on the best information available on the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements, future events may occur that would require a change (increase or decrease) to these estimates in subsequent periods. This change would be made prospectively, recognizing the effects of such an estimation change in the corresponding future consolidated financial statements.

 

  2.4

Subsidiaries and joint ventures

Subsidiaries are defined as entities in which the Parent Company controls the majority of the voting rights or, should that not be the case, is authorized to direct the financial and operating policies of such entities.

Joint ventures are those in which the situation described in the preceding paragraph exists as a result of an agreement with other shareholders and control is exercised jointly with them.

Appendix 1 of these consolidated financial statements, entitled “Companies comprising the Endesa Chile Group,” describes Endesa Chile’s relationship with each of its subsidiaries and joint ventures.

  2.4.1

Changes in the scope of consolidation

During the 2012 and 2011 fiscal years, there were no significant changes in Endesa Chile’s scope of consolidation.

The section titled “Changes in the Endesa Chile Group’s Scope of Consolidation”, included as Appendix 2 to these consolidated financial statements, lists the companies included within the scope of the Group’s consolidation, together with information on the Group’s respective ownership interest percentages.

 

  2.4.2

Consolidated companies with an ownership interest of less than 50%

Although the Endesa Chile Group holds less than 50% interest in Empresa Generadora de Energía Eléctrica S.A. (“Emgesa”), it is considered to be a subsidiary since Endesa Chile exercises control over the entity, either directly or indirectly, through contracts or agreements with shareholders, or as a consequence of its structure, composition, and shareholder classes.

 

  2.4.3

Non-consolidated companies with an ownership interest of over 50%

Although the Endesa Chile Group holds more than a 50% interest in Centrales Hidroeléctricas de Aysén, S.A. (“Aysén”), it is considered a joint venture since the Group, through contracts and agreements with shareholders, exercises joint control of the company.

 

  2.5

Associated companies

Associated Companies are those in which Endesa Chile, either directly or indirectly, exercises significant influence. In general, significant influence is assumed to be those cases in which the Group has a an ownership interest over 20% (see Note 3.g).

Appendix 3 to these consolidated financial statements, entitled “Associated Companies,” describes Endesa Chile’s relationship with each associated company.

 

  2.6

Basis of consolidation and business combinations

The subsidiaries are consolidated and all their assets, liabilities, income, expenses, and cash flows are included in the consolidated financial statements once the adjustments and eliminations from intra-Group transactions have been made.

Joint ventures are consolidated using the proportional consolidation method, Endesa Chile recognizes, line by line, its share of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of such entities, so the adding of balances and subsequent eliminations take place only in proportion to Endesa Chile’s ownership interest in them.

The comprehensive income of subsidiaries and joint ventures is included in the consolidated comprehensive income statement from the effective date of acquisition until the effective date of disposal or termination of joint control, as applicable.

 

 

F-26


Table of Contents

 

 

Endesa Chile’s and its subsidiaries’ operations, as well as those of joint ventures, have been consolidated under the following basic principles:

 

  1.

At the date of acquisition, the assets, liabilities, and contingent liabilities of the subsidiary or joint venture are recorded at market value. If, in the parent company’s holding, there is a positive difference between the acquisition cost and the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the company acquired, including contingent liabilities, this difference is recorded as goodwill. If the difference is negative, it is recorded as a credit to income.

 

  2.

Non-controlling interests in equity and in the comprehensive income of the consolidated subsidiaries are presented, respectively, under the line items “Total Equity: Non-controlling interests” in the consolidated statement of financial position and “Net Income attributable to non-controlling interests” and “Comprehensive income attributable to non-controlling interests” in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

 

  3.

The financial statements of foreign companies with functional currencies other than the Chilean peso are translated as follows:

 

  a.

For assets and liabilities, the prevailing exchange rate on the closing date of the financial statements is used.

 

  b.

For items in the comprehensive income statement, the average exchange rate for the year is used (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the exchange rates in effect on the dates of the transactions, in which case the exchange rate in effect on the date of each transaction is used).

 

  c.

Equity remains at the historical exchange rate from the date of acquisition or contribution, and retained earnings at the average exchange rate at the date of generation.

Exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial statements are recognized in the item “Exchange difference on translation” within the consolidated statement of comprehensive income: Other comprehensive income (see Note 22.2).

Translation adjustments that existed prior to Endesa Chile’s transition date to IFRS on January 1, 2004, were transferred to reserves, using the exemption for that purpose in IFRS 1 “First time Adoption of IFRS” (see Note 22.5l).

All balances and transactions between consolidated companies, as well as the share of the proportionally consolidated companies, were eliminated in the consolidation process.

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES APPLIED

The main accounting policies used in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements were the following:

 

  a)

Property, plant, and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are valued at acquisition cost, net of accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses they may have been experienced. In addition to the price paid to acquire each item, the cost also includes, where applicable, the following concepts:

Financing expenses accrued during the construction period that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction, or production of qualified assets, which require a substantial period of time before being ready for use such as, for example, electricity generation facilities. The Group defines “substantial period” as one that exceeds 12 months. The interest rate used is that of the specific financing or, if none exists, the mean financing rate of the company carrying out the investment. The mean financing rate depends principally on the geographic area and ranges between 7.22% and 8.83%. The amount capitalized for this concept amounted to ThCh$ 23,915,042, ThCh$ 29,922,494 and ThCh$ 11,744,123 for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively.

Employee expenses directly related to construction in progress. The amounts capitalized under this concept for the periods ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 were ThCh$ 12,763,185, ThCh$ 10,597,856 and ThCh$ 10,126,128, respectively.

Future disbursements that Endesa Chile will have to make to close its facilities are incorporated into the value of the asset at present value, recording in the accounting the corresponding provision. The Group reviews its estimate of these future disbursements on a yearly basis, increasing or decreasing the value of the asset based on the results of this estimate (see Note 20).

Items acquired before Endesa Chile’s date of transition to IFRS, on January 1, 2004, include in the acquisition cost, where appropriate, asset reappraisals permitted in the various countries to adjust the value of the property, plant and equipment for inflation as of that date (see Note 22.5I).

Items for construction work in progress are transferred to operating assets once the testing period has been completed and they are available for use, at which time depreciation begins.

Expansion, modernization, or improvement costs that represent an increase in productivity, capacity or efficiency, or a longer useful life, are capitalized as a greater cost for the corresponding assets.

The replacement or overhaul of entire components that increase the asset’s useful life, or its economic capacity, are recorded as an increase in value for the respective assets, derecognizing the replaced or overhauled components.

Periodic maintenance, conservation and repair expenses are recorded directly in results as an expense for the year in which they are incurred.

The Company, based on the outcome of impairment testing explained in Note 3.d. considers that the book value of assets does not exceed their net recoverable value.

Property, plant, and equipment, net of its residual value, is depreciated by distributing the cost of the different items that comprise it on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life, which is the period during which the companies expect to use the assets. Useful life estimates are periodically reviewed and, if appropriate, adjusted prospectively.

11 years

 

The Group’s management evaluated the specific contract term of each of the aforementioned concession and concluded that there are no determining factors indicating that the grantor (a government entity) controls the infrastructure and, at the same time, can continuously set the price to be charged for services. These requirements are essential for applying IFRIC 12 “Service Concession Agreements,” which establishes how to record and value certain types of concessions (see Note 3.c.1 for concession agreements within the scope of IFRIC 12).

 

 

F-29


Table of Contents

 

 

Concession contracts not covered under IFRIC 12 are recognized according to general criteria. To the extent that the Group recognizes assets as property, plant, and equipment, they are amortized over their economic life or the concession term, whichever is shorter. Any required investment, improvement or replacement made by Endesa Chile is calculated as an impairment to Property, Plant, and Equipment as a future contractual cash outflow that is necessary to obtain future cash inflow.

Gains or losses that arise from the sale or disposal of items of property, plant and equipment are recognized in income for the period and calculated as the difference between the sale value and the net book value.

 

  b)

Goodwill

Goodwill generated upon consolidation represents the difference between the acquisition cost and the Group’s share of the fair value of assets and liabilities, including identifiable contingent liabilities of a subsidiary at the acquisition date.

Acquired assets and liabilities are temporarily valued as of the date the company takes control and are reviewed within no more than a year after the acquisition date. Until the fair value of assets and liabilities is ultimately determined, the difference between the acquisition price and the book value of the acquired company is temporarily recorded as goodwill.

If goodwill is finally determined as existing in the financial statements the year following the acquisition, the prior year’s accounts which are presented for comparison purposes are modified to include the value of the acquired assets and liabilities and of the definitive goodwill from the acquisition date.

Goodwill generated from acquiring companies with functional currencies other than the Chilean peso is valued in the functional currency of the acquired company and converted to Chilean pesos using the exchange rate in effect as of the date of the statement of financial position.

Goodwill generated before the date of transition to IFRS, on January 1, 2004, is maintained at its net value recorded as of that date, while goodwill originated afterwards is valued at acquisition cost (see Notes 13 and 22.5.l)

Goodwill is not amortized; instead, at each period end the Company estimates whether any impairment has reduced its recoverable value to an amount less than the net recorded cost and, if so, it immediately adjusts for impairment (see Note 3.d).

 

  c)

Intangible assets other than goodwill

Intangible assets are initially recognized at acquisition or production cost, and are subsequently valued at their cost, net of their accumulated amortization and of the impairment losses they may have experienced.

Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis during their useful life, starting from the time that in usable condition, except for those with an indefinite useful, which are net amortized. As of December 31, 2012, there were no significant amounts in intangible assets with an indefinite useful life.

The criteria for recognizing these assets impairment losses and, if applicable recovery of impairment losses recorded in previous fiscal years are explained in letter d) of this Note.

 

  c.1)

Concessions

IFRIC 12 “Service Concession Agreements” provides accounting guidelines for public-to-private service concession agreements. This accounting interpretation applies if:

a) The grantor controls or regulates which services the operator should provide with the infrastructure to whom it must provide them, and at what price; and

b) The grantor controls, through ownership, beneficial entitlement, or other wise any significant residual interest in the infrastructure at the end of the term of the agreement.

 

 

F-30


Table of Contents

 

 

If both of the above conditions are met simultaneously, an intangible asset is recognized to the extent that the operator receives the right to charge the users of the public service, provided that these rights are contingent on the degree to which the service is used.

These intangibles are initially recognized at cost, with cost understood to be the fair value of the service provided plus other direct costs that are directly attributable to the operation. They are then amortized over the duration of the concession.

The Group operates administrative concessions in which the counterpart is a government entity. The Túnel El Melón is the only concession with determining factors leading to the conclusion that the requirements explained above are met simultaneously.

In the concession of the Túnel El Melón, the Chilean Ministry of Public Works (the “MOP”) and our subsidiary Sociedad Concesionaria Túnel El Melón S.A. signed a concession agreement that establishes both the services that the operator must provide and the price of these services. The concession right expires in June 2016, at which time the MOP recovers the right to exploit the Túnel El Melón assets, with no need for the MOP to meet any specific conditions.

The Group has applied the intangibles method established in IFRIC 12. It has not recognized any financial assets in connection with the El Melón Tunnel concession since the agreement signed with the MOP does not provide for guaranteed revenues regardless of circumstances.

The following subsidiary has recognized an intangible asset for its concession agreements:

    Concesionaria Túnel El Melón S.A.

Endesa Chile and subsidiaries follow the policy of recording the costs incurred in a project’s development phase as intangible assets in the statement of financial position as long as the project’s technical viability and economic returns are reasonably assured.

Expenditures on research activities are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. These expenses in the years 2012, 2011 and 2010 amounted to ThCh$ 2,298,344, ThCh$ 2,104,631 and ThCh$ 2,460,261, respectively.

 

  c.3)

Other intangible assets

These intangible assets correspond primarily to computer software, water rights and easements. They are initially recognized at acquisition or production cost and are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any.

Computer software programs are amortized, on average, over five years. Certain easements and water rights have indefinite useful lives and are therefore not amortized, while others have useful lives ranging from 40 to 60 years, depending on their characteristics, and they are amortized over that term.

 

  d)

Asset impairment

During the year, and principally at year end, the Company evaluates whether there is any indication that an asset has been impaired. Should any such indication exist, the company estimates the recoverable amount of that asset to determine the amount of impairment in each case. In the case of identifiable assets that do not generate cash flows independently, the company estimates the recoverability of the Cash Generating Unit to which the asset belongs, which is understood to be the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates independent cash inflows.

 

 

F-31


Table of Contents

 

 

Notwithstanding the proceeding paragraph, in the case of Cash Generating Units to which goodwill or intangible assets with an indefinite useful life have been allocated, a recoverability analysis is performed routinely at each period end.

The recoverable amount is the greater amount between the fair value less the cost needed to sell and the value in use, which is defined as the present value of the estimated future cash flows. In order to calculate the recoverable value of Property, plant, and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets, the Group uses value in use criteria in practically all cases.

To estimate the value in use, the Group prepares future cash flow projections, before tax, based on the most recent budgets available. These budgets incorporate management’s best estimates of Cash Generating Units’ revenue and costs using sector projections, past experience, and future expectations.

In general, these projections cover the next ten years, estimating cash flows for subsequent years by applying reasonable growth rates, which in no case, are increasing nor exceed the average long-term growth rates for the particular sector and country. At the end of 2012 and 2011, projections were extrapolated from the following rates:

 

Country     Currency   2012   2011
    

 

Rate g

 

 

Rate g

Chile

   Chilean peso   2.3% - 4.1%   4.2%

Argentina

   Argentine peso   8.6%   7.0%

Brazil

   Brazilian real     5.1% - 6.1%       5.0% - 6.0%  

Peru

   Peruvian sol   3.7%   3.2%

Colombia

   Colombian peso   4.3%   4.4%

These flows are discounted to calculate their current value - tax rate that covers the cost of capital for the business activity and the geographic area in which it is being carried out. The current cost of money and the risk premiums generally used among analysts for the business activity and the geographic zone are taken into account to calculate this value.

The following are the before - tax discount rates, applied in 2012 and 2011 expressed in nominal terms:

 

Country    Currency   2012   2011
       Minimum       Maximum       Minimum       Maximum 

Chile

   Chilean peso   8.4%   14.6%   9.2%   10.1%

Argentina

   Argentine peso   26.0%   29.0%   23.0%   26.0%

Brazil

   Brazilian real   13.5%   18.0%   9.5%   11.6%

Peru

   Peruvian new sol   12.5%   9.3%

Colombia

   Colombian peso   14.5%   10.9%

If the recoverable amount is less than the net carrying amount of the asset, the corresponding provision for impairment loss is recorded for the difference, and charged to “Reversal of impairment loss (impairment loss)” recognized in “profit or loss” in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Impairment losses recognized for an asset in prior periods are reversed when its estimated recoverable amount changes, increasing the asset’s value with a credit to earnings, limited to the asset’s carrying amount if no adjustment had occurred. In the case of goodwill, adjustments that would have been made are not reversible.

The following procedure is used to determine the need to adjust financial assets for impairment:

 

   

In the case of commercial assets, the policy of Endesa Chile and its subsidiaries is to record impairment through an allowance account based on the age of past-due balances. This policy is generally applied except in those cases where a specific collectability analysis is recommended, such as in the case of receivables from publically owned companies.

 

   

In the case of receivables of a financial nature, impairment is determined on case-by-case basis. As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, the Company had no significant past due non-commercial financial assets.

  e)

Leases

The Group applies IFRIC 4 to assess whether an agreement is or contains a lease. Leases that transfer to the lessee substantially all of the risks and rewards inherent in ownership are classified as financial leases. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Financial leases in which the Group acts as lessee are recognized when the agreement begins. At that time, the Group records an asset based on the nature of the lease and a liability for the same amount, equal to the lower of the fair value of the leased asset or the present value of the minimum lease payments, if the latter is lower. Subsequently, the minimum lease payments are divided between the financial expense and principal reduction. The financial expense is recorded in the income statement and distributed over the lease term so as to obtain a constant interest rate for each period over the balance of the debt outstanding. The asset depreciates on the same terms as other similar depreciable assets, as long as there is reasonable certainty that the lessee will acquire ownership of the asset at the end of the lease. If no such certainty exists, the asset depreciates over the shorter term between the useful life of the asset and the term of the lease.

Operating lease payments are booked on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another type of systematic basis of distribution is deemed more representative.

 

  f)

Financial instruments

Financial instruments are contracts that give rise to both a financial asset in one company and a financial liability or equity instrument in another company.

 

  f.1)

Financial assets other than derivatives

The Group classifies its financial assets other than derivatives, whether permanent or temporary, except for investments accounted for using the equity method (see Note 11) and those held for sale, into four categories:

 

  -

Trade and other current receivables and Accounts receivable from related companies: These are recorded at amortized cost, which is the initial fair value less of principal repayments made, plus accrued and uncharged interest calculated using the effective interest-rate method.

The effective interest method is used to calculate the amortized cost of a financial asset or liability (or group of financial assets or financial liabilities) and is charged to financial income or cost over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the discount rate that exactly matches the estimated cash flows to be received or paid over the expected life of the financial instrument (or, when appropriate, over a shorter period) to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability.

 

  -

Held-to-maturity investments: investments that the Group intends to hold and are capable of holding until their maturity are accounted for at amortized cost as defined in the preceding paragraph.

 

  -

Financial assets at fair value with changes in net income: This includes the trading portfolio and those financial assets that have been designated as such upon initial recognition and that are managed and evaluated using fair value criteria. They are valued in the consolidated statement of financial position at fair value, with changes in value recorded directly in income when they occur.

 

  -

Available-for-sale financial assets: These are financial assets specifically designated as available for sale or that do not fit within any of the three preceding categories (see Note 6).

These investments are recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position at fair value when it can be reliably determined. For interests in unlisted companies or companies with very little liquidity, normally the market value cannot be reliably determined. When this occurs, those interests are valued at acquisition cost or a lesser amount if evidence of impairment exists.

 

 

F-33


Table of Contents

 

 

Changes in fair value, net of tax, are recorded in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income: Other comprehensive results, until the investments are disposed of, at which time the amount accumulated in this account for that investment is fully charged to the period’s profit or loss.

Should the fair value be less than the acquisition cost, and if there is objective evidence that the asset has been more than temporarily impaired, the difference is recorded directly in the period’s losses.

Purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for using their trade date.

 

  f.2)

Cash and cash equivalents

This account within the statement of consolidated financial position includes cash and bank balances, time deposits, and other highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when acquired readily convertible to cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

 

  f.3)

Financial liabilities other than derivatives

Financial liabilities are generally recorded based on cash received, net of any costs incurred in the transaction. In subsequent periods these obligations are valued at their amortized cost, using the effective interest-rate method (see Note 3.f.1).

In the particular case that a liability is the underlying item of a fair value hedge derivative, as an exception, such liability will be valued at its fair value for the portion of the hedged risk.

In order to calculate the fair value of debt, both in the cases when it is recorded in the statement of financial position and for fair value disclosure purposes as seen in Note 16, debt has been divided into fixed interest rate debt (hereinafter “fixed-rate debt”) and variable interest rate debt (hereinafter “floating-rate debt”). Fixed-rate debt is that on which fixed-interest coupons established at the beginning of the transaction are paid explicitly or implicitly over its term. Floating-rate debt is that issued at a variable interest rate, i.e., each coupon is established at the beginning of each period based on the reference interest rate. All debt has been valued by discounting expected future cash flows with a market-interest rate curve based on the payment currency.

 

  f.4)

Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting

Derivatives held by the Group are primarily transactions entered into to hedge interest and/or exchange rate risk, intended to eliminate or significantly reduce these risks in the underlying transactions being hedged.

Derivatives are recorded at fair value as of the date of the statement of financial position as follows: if their fair value is positive, they are recorded within “Other financial assets”; and if their fair value is negative, they are recorded within “Other financial liabilities”. For derivatives on commodities, the positive value is recorded in “Trade and other current receivables,” and negative values are recorded in “Trade and other current liabilities.”

Changes in fair value are recorded directly in income except when the derivative has been designated for accounting purposes as a hedge instrument and all of the conditions established under IFRS for applying hedge accounting are met, including that the hedge be highly effective. In this case, changes are recorded as follows:

 

  -

Fair value hedges: The underlying portion for which the risk is being hedged is valued at its fair value. as is the hedge instrument. and any changes in the value of both are recorded in the comprehensive income statement by netting the effects in the same comprehensive income statement account.

 

 

F-34


Table of Contents

 

 

  -

Cash flow hedges: Changes in the fair value of the effective portion of derivatives are recorded in an equity reserve known as “Reserve for cash-flow hedges.” The cumulative loss or gain in this account is transferred to the comprehensive income statement to the extent that the underlying item impacts the comprehensive income statement because of the hedged risk, netting the effect in the same comprehensive income statement account. Gains or losses from the ineffective portion of the hedge are recorded directly in the comprehensive income statement.

A hedge is considered highly effective when changes in the fair value or the cash flows of the underlying item directly attributable to the hedged risk, are offset by changes in the fair value or the cash flows of the hedging instrument, with effectiveness ranging from 80% to 125%.

The Company does not apply hedge accounting to its investments abroad.

As a general rule, long-term commodity purchase or sale agreements are recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position at their fair value as of the period, recording any differences in value directly in income, except when all of the following conditions are met:

 

  - The sole purpose of the agreement is for the Group’s own use.

 

  - The Group’s future projections justify the existence of these agreements for its own use.

 

  - Past experience with agreements shows that they have been utilized for the Group’s own use, except in certain isolated cases when they had to be used for exceptional reasons or reasons associated with logistical issues beyond the control and projection of the Group.

 

  - The agreement does not stipulate settlement by differences and the parties do not make it a practice to settle similar contracts by differences in the past.

Long-term commodity purchase or sale agreements maintained by the Group, which are mainly for electricity, fuel, and other supplies, meet the conditions described above. Thus, the purpose of fuel purchase agreements is to use them to generate electricity, the electricity purchase contracts are used to make sales to end-customers, and the electricity sale contracts are used to sell the company’s own product.

The Company also evaluates the existence of derivatives embedded in contracts or financial instruments to determine if their characteristics and risk are closely related to the principal contract, provided that when taken together they are not being accounted for at fair value. If they are not closely related. they are recorded separately and changes in value are accounted for directly in the comprehensive income statement.

 

  f.5)

Fair value measurement and classification of financial instruments

The fair value of the various derivative financial instruments is calculated as follows:

 

   

For derivatives traded on a formal market, by its quoted price as of year-end.

 

   

The Group values derivatives not traded on formal markets by using discounted expected cash flows and generally accepted options valuation models, based on current and future market conditions as year-end.

Using the procedures described. the Group classifies financial instruments at the following levels:

 

Level 1:    Quoted price (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2:    Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
Level 3:    Inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

  f.6)

Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognized when:

 

   

The contractual rights to receive cash flows related to the financial asset expire or have been transferred or, if when the contractual rights are retained, the Group has assumed a contractual obligation to pay these cash flows to one or more receivers.

 

   

The Group has substantially transferred the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or, if it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards but when it does not retain control over the asset.

Transactions in which the Group retains substantially all the inherent risks and rewards of ownership of the transferred asset it continues recognizing the transferred asset in its entirety and recognizes a financial liability for the consideration received. Transactions costs are recognized in profit and loss by using the effective interest method (see Note 3.f.1).

 

  g)

Investments accounted for using the equity method

Investments in associates in which the Group has significant influence are recorded using the equity method.

The equity method consists of recording the investment in the statement of financial position based on the share of its equity that Endesa Chile’s interest represents in its capital, adjusted for, if appropriate, the effect of transactions with subsidiaries plus any goodwill generated in acquiring the company. If the resulting amount is negative, zero is recorded for that investment in the statement of financial position, unless there is a commitment from Endesa Chile to support the Company’s negative equity situation, in which case a provision is recorded.

Dividends received from these companies are deducted from the value of the investment, and any profit or loss obtained from them to which Endesa Chile is entitled based on interest is recorded under “Share of profit (loss) of associates accounted for using equity method.”

Appendix 3, “Endesa Chile Associate Companies,” included in these consolidated financial statements, provides information about Endesa Chile’s relationship with each of its associates.

 

  h)

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of their weighted average acquisition price and their net realization value.

 

  i)

Treasury shares

Treasury shares are deducted from equity in the consolidated statement of financial position and valued at acquisition cost.

Gains and losses from the disposal of treasury shares are recorded under the heading total “Equity-Retained earnings.” As of December 31, 2012, there are no treasury shares, and no transactions with treasury shares were made during the 2012, 2011 or 2010.

 

  j)

Provisions

Obligations existing as of the date of the consolidated financial statements resulting from past events which may negatively impact the equity of the Group, and whose amount and timing of payment are uncertain, are recorded as provisions in the consolidated statement of financial position at the present value of the most likely amount that it is believed that the Group will have to disburse to settle the obligation.

 

 

F-36


Table of Contents

 

 

Provisions are quantified using the best information available as of the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements regarding the consequences of the event causing the provision and are re-estimated at each subsequent accounting close.

 

  j.1)

Provisions for post-employment benefits and similar obligations

Endesa Chile and some subsidiaries have pension and similar obligations toward their employees. Such obligations, which combine defined benefits and defined contributions, are basically formalized through pension plans, except for certain non-monetary benefits, mainly electricity supply commitments, which, due to their nature, are accrued and paid by the Company.

For defined benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the accrual criteria during the working lives of the employees by carrying out, at the date of the financial statements, of actuarial valuations calculated using the project credit-unit method. Past service costs relating to changes in benefits are recognized immediately to results to the extent that the benefits are already accrued.

Contributions to defined contribution benefit plans are recognized as an expense when the employees have rendered their services.

Actuarial gains and losses arising in the measurement of the liabilities connected with these plans are recognized directly under “Equity - Accumulated earnings (losses).”

 

  k)

Conversion of balances in foreign currency

Transactions carried out by each company in a currency other than its functional currency are recorded using the exchange rates in effect as of the date of each transaction. During the year, any differences that arise between the exchange rate recorded in accounting and the rate prevailing as of the date of collection or payment are recorded as “Foreign currency exchange differences” in the comprehensive income statement.

Likewise, at the end of each year, balances receivable or payable in a currency other than each company’s functional currency are translated using the year-end exchange rate. Any valuation differences are booked as “Foreign currency exchange differences” in the comprehensive income statement.

The Group has established a policy to hedge the portion of its revenue that is directly linked to variations in the US dollar by obtaining financing in this currency. Exchange differences related to this debt, as they are cash-flow hedge transactions, are charged. net taxes, to a reserve account in equity recorded in income during the period in which the hedged cash flows are realized. This term has been estimated at ten years.

 

  l)

Current / non-current classification

In these consolidated statements of financial position, assets and liabilities expected to be recovered or settled within twelve months are presented as current items and those assets and liabilities expected to be recovered or settled in more than twelve months are presented as non-current items.

Should the Company have any obligations that mature in less than twelve months but can be refinanced over the long term at the Company’s discretion, through unconditionally available credit agreements with long-term maturities, such obligations may have been classified as long-term liabilities.

 

  m)

Income tax

Income taxes for the period are determined as the sum of current taxes of Endesa Chile’s different subsidiaries and result from applying the tax rate to the taxable base for the period, after allowable deductions have been made, plus any changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities and tax credits, both for tax losses and deductions. Differences between the book value and tax basis of assets and liabilities generate deferred tax asset and liability balances, which are calculated using tax rates expected to be in effect when the assets and liabilities are realized or settled.

 

 

F-37


Table of Contents

 

 

Current taxes and changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities not arising from business combinations are recorded in income or in equity in the statement of financial position, based on where the gains or losses originating them were recorded.

Deferred tax assets and tax credits are recognized only when it is likely that future tax gains will be sufficient to recover deductions for temporary differences and make use of tax credits.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all temporary differences, except those derived from the initial recognition of goodwill and those that arose from valuing investments in subsidiaries, associates and jointly – controlled companies in which Endesa Chile can control their reversal and where it is likely that they will not be reversed in the foreseeable future.

Any deductions that can be applied to current tax liabilities are credited to earnings within the line item “Income tax expenses,” except when doubts exist about their tax realization in which case they are not recognized until they are effectively realized, or when they correspond to specific tax incentives, in which case they are recorded as grants.

At each accounting period close, the Company reviews the deferred taxes it has recorded, both assets and liabilities, in order to ensure they remain current and otherwise make any necessary corrections based on the results of this analysis.

 

  n)

Revenue and expense recognition

Revenues and expenses are recognized on an accrual basis.

Revenue is recognized when the gross inflow of economic benefits arising in the course of the ordinary activities of Endesa Chile and subsidiaries in the period occurs, provided that this inflow of economic benefits results in an increase in total equity that is not related to contributions from equity participants and that these benefits can be measured reliably. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable that gives rise to the revenue.

Revenue associated with the rendering of services is only recognized if it can be estimated reliably, based on the stage of completion of the service rendered at the date of the statement of financial position.

Endesa Chile and subsidiaries excludes from the revenue figure gross inflows of economic benefits it receives when it acts as an agent or commission agent on behalf of third parties, and only recognizes as revenue economic benefits received for its own account.

When goods or services are exchanged or swapped for goods or services of a similar nature, the exchange is not regarded as a revenue-generating transaction.

Endesa Chile and subsidiaries record the net amount of non-financial asset purchase or sale contracts settled for the net amount of cash or through some other financial instruments. Contracts entered into and maintained for the purpose of receiving or delivering these non-financial assets are recognized on the basis of the contractual terms of the purchase, sale, or usage requirements expected by the entity.

Interest income (expense) is recognized at the effective interest rate applicable to the outstanding principal over the repayment period.

The Company operates mainly in the electricity-generation segment and a minor percentage relates to other revenue related to the principal activity.

 

  o)

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income attributable to shareholders of the Company (the numerator) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding (the denominator) during the period. excluding the average number of the shares of the Company, held by any of the Group subsidiaries, if any.

 

 

F-38


Table of Contents

 

 

During the 2012, 2011 and 2010 fiscal years, the Group did not engage in any transaction of any kind with potential dilutive effects leading to diluted earnings per share that could differ from basic earnings per share.

 

  p)

Dividends

Article 79 of the Chilean Companies Act establishes that, unless unanimously agreed otherwise by the shareholders of all issued shares, listed corporations must distribute a cash dividend to their shareholders on a yearly basis, prorated by the shares owned or the proportion established in the company’s by-laws if there are preferred shares, of at least 30% of the net income for each year, except when accumulated losses from prior years must be absorbed.

As it is practically impossible to achieve a unanimous agreement given Endesa Chile’s highly fragmented share capital, as of the end of each period the amount of the dividend obligation to its shareholders is determined, net of interim dividends approved during the year, and then accounted for in “Trade and other current payables” or “Accounts payable to related companies,” as appropriate, and charged to Equity.

Interim and final dividends are deducted from Equity as soon as they are approved by the competent body, which in the first case is normally the Company’s Board of Directors and in the second case is the Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting.

 

  q)

Cash flow statement

As of the issuance of these financial statements, Endesa Chile voluntarily modified the presentation of its cash flows from operating activities, changing from the indirect to the direct method. This change has been applied retroactively to the presentation of the consolidated cash flows statement for the 2011 and 2010 fiscal years.

The cash flow statement reflects the changes in cash that took place during the period using the following expressions and corresponding meanings:

 

  -

Cash flows: cash and cash equivalents inflows and outflows, which are defined as highly liquid investments maturing in less than three months with a low risk of changes in value.

 

  -

Operating activities: the principal revenue-producing activities of the Group and other activities that cannot be considered as investing or financing activities.

 

  -

Investment activities: the acquisition and disposal of long-term assets and other investments not included in cash and cash equivalents.

 

  -

Financing activities: activities that result in changes in the size and composition of the total equity and borrowings of the Group.

SECTOR REGULATION AND ELECTRICITY SYSTEM OPERATIONS

 

  a)

Chile

In Chile, the electricity sector is regulated by the General Law of Electrical Services (Chilean Electricity Law), also known as DFL No. 1 of 1982, of the Ministry of Mining —whose compiled and coordinated text was established in DFL No. 4 issued in 2006 by the Ministry of Economy (the Electricity Law)— as well as by an associated Regulation (D.S. No. 327 issued in 1998). Three government bodies are primarily responsible for enforcing this law: the National Energy Commission (CNE), which has the authority to propose regulated tariffs (node prices) and to draw up indicative plans for the construction of new generating units; the Superintendence of Electricity and Fuels (SEF), which supervises and oversees compliance with the laws, regulations, and technical standards that govern the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity, as well as liquid fuels, and gas; and, finally, the recently created Ministry of Energy, which will be responsible for proposing and guiding public policies on energy matters. It also oversees the SEF. the CNE, and the Chilean Commission for Nuclear Energy, thus strengthening coordination and allowing for an integrated view of the energy sector. The Ministry of Energy also includes the Agency for Energy Efficiency and the Center for Renewable Energy. The Chilean Electricity Law has also established a Panel of Experts whose main task is to resolve potential discrepancies among the players in the electricity market. including electricity companies, system operators, regulators, etc.

The Chilean electrical sector is divided into four electrical grids: the Sistema Interconectado Central (SIC), the  Sistema Interconectado del Norte Grande (SING), and two separate and medium-size grids located in southern Chile, one in Aysén and the other in Magallanes. The SIC, the main electrical grid, runs 2,400 km longitudinally and connects the country from Taltal in the north to Quellon, on the island of Chiloe in the south. The SING covers the northern part of the country, from Arica down to Coloso, covering a length of some 700 km.

The electricity industry is organized into three business segments: generation, transmission, and distribution, all operating in an interconnected and coordinated manner, and whose main purpose is to supply electrical energy to the market at minimum cost while maintaining the quality and safety service standards required by the electrical regulations. Given their characteristics, the power transmission and distribution businesses are natural monopolies; these segments are regulated as such by the electricity law, which requires free access to networks and regulates rates.

Under the Chilean Electricity Law, companies engaged in generation and transmission on the interconnected electrical grid must coordinate their operations through a centralized operating agent, the Centro de Despacho  Económico de Carga (CDEC), in order to operate the system at minimum cost while maintaining reliable service. For this reason, the CDEC plans and operates the system, including the calculation of the so-called “marginal cost,” which is the price assigned to CDEC-organized energy transfers occurring among power generating companies.

Therefore, a company’s decision to generate electricity is subject to the CDEC’s operation plan. On the other hand, each company is free to decide whether to sell its energy to regulated or unregulated customers. Any surplus or deficit between a company’s sales to its customers and its energy supply is sold to. or purchased from, other generators at the spot market price.

A power generating company may have the following types of customers:

 

  (i)

Regulated customers: Those residential and commercial consumers and small and medium-size businesses with a connected capacity equal to or less than 500 kW located in the concession area of a distribution company. Customers that consume from 500 kW to 2000 kW may choose to be regulated or unregulated clients. Until 2009, the transfer prices between generators and distribution companies were capped at a maximum value called the node price, which is regulated by the Ministry of Energy. Node prices are set every six months, in April and October, based on a report prepared by the CNE that takes into account projections of expected marginal costs in the system over the next 48 months for the SIC and 24 months for the SING. Beginning in 2010, and as the

 

 

F-40


Table of Contents

 

 

 

node price contracts begin to expire, the transfer prices between generators and distributors will be replaced by the results of regulated bidding processes, with a price cap set by the authority every six months.

 

  (ii)

Unregulated customers: Those customers. mainly industrial and mining companies, with a connected capacity of over 2,000 kW. These consumers can freely negotiate prices for electricity supplies with generators and/or distributors. Customers with capacity between 500 kW and 2,000 kW. as indicated in the preceding paragraph, have the option to contract energy at prices agreed upon with their suppliers or be subject to regulated prices, with a minimum stay of at least four years under each pricing system.

 

  (iii)

Spot market: This represents energy and capacity transactions among generating companies that result from the CDEC’s coordination to keep the system running as economically as possible, where the surpluses (deficits) between a generator’s energy supply and the energy it needs to comply with business commitments are transferred through sales (purchases) to (from) other generators in the CDEC. In the case of energy, transfers are valued at the marginal cost, while node prices for capacity are set half-yearly by the regulators.

In Chile, the capacity that must be paid to each generator depends on an annual calculation performed by the CDEC to determine the firm capacity of each power plant, which is not the same as the dispatched capacity.

Beginning in 2010 with the enactment of Law 20,018, distribution companies must have enough supply permanently available to cover their entire demand projected for a period of three years; to do so, they must carry out long-term public bidding processes.

Regarding renewable energy, in April of 2008 Law 20,257 was enacted, which encourages the use of Non-Conventional Renewable Energies (NCRE). The principal aspect of this law is that at least 5% of generators’ energy sold to its customers should come from renewable sources between years 2010 and 2014. This requirement progressively increases by 0.5% from year 2015 until 2024, when a 10% renewable energy requirement will be reached.

On December 31, 2012, the Regulations containing the provisions governing complementary services were published in the Diario Oficial (the Official Gazette). These services are understood to be the technical resources in generation, transmission and distribution, and customer facilities that are not subject to price regulations and that each electrical system must have for the coordination of its operations as stipulated in Article 137 of the General Law on Electrical Services.

b) The Rest of Latin America

In the other Latin American countries where the Group operates, different regulations are enforced. In general, regulations in Brazil, Argentina, Peru, and Colombia allow participation of private capital in the electricity sector, uphold free competition in electricity generation, and define criteria to avoid certain levels of economic concentration and/or market practices that may cause a decline in this activity. Unlike Chile, state-owned companies participate in the electricity sector together with private companies in electricity generation, transmission, and distribution activities. Argentina began to show signs of intervening in the electricity market in 2002. This intervention became more marked in 2012, when the government informed companies in the electric industry of the general guidelines for restructuring the market, which will put an end to the marginalist system established in the 1990’s. The most significant changes should occur in the power generation sector.

In principle, all of these countries allow companies to participate in different activities (generation, distribution, and commercial), as long as these activities are properly separated both from an accounting and corporate point of view. Nevertheless, the transmission sector is where the strictest restrictions are usually imposed, mainly due to its nature and the need to assure adequate access to all players.

In connection with the electricity generation businesses, these are open markets in which private players are free to make their own investment decisions. The exceptions are: Brazil, a country which, based on the contractual needs of the distribution companies, the Ministry of Energy actively participates in the electricity system’s expansion by establishing capacity quotas by technology (separate bids for thermal, hydraulic, or renewable energies) or participates directly by organizing public bids for specific projects;

and Argentina where, despite the government’s promotion of initiatives to encourage electricity investments, such as “Energía Plus,” installed capacity has not increased as much as expected. This has led the government to develop a new monopolistic or oligopolistic direct regulation model it calls “Costo Plus” (Cost Plus) and has the following “declared principles”: i) An income will be applied to each company based on the sum of its net equity and financial debt, subtracting redundant assets; ii) “Reasonable profits” will be recognized; and iii) Efficient operating costs will be recognized.

In addition, operations in these countries are centrally coordinated, with an independent operator coordinating load dispatch. Except for Colombia, where dispatch is based on prices offered by the players, in the other countries load dispatched is centralized, based on variable production costs in order to ensure the fulfillment of the demand at a minimum cost for the system. From that dispatch, the marginal cost, which defines the price for spot transactions, is determined.

Nevertheless, in Argentina and Peru there is currently some level of intervention in setting prices in these marginal generation markets. This has occurred in Argentina since the 2002 crisis and also in Peru as a result of a recent Emergency Law enacted in 2008 and expected to be in force until 2015, which defines an idealized marginal cost, considering that the present restrictions do not exist for the gas and electricity transportation system.

In Colombia, Brazil, Peru, and Argentina, generation players are able to sell energy through contracts in the regulated or unregulated markets, and to trade their surplus/deficit on the spot market. The unregulated market is focused on the segment of large users, although the limits that define this status vary in each market. The principal differences among the markets involve how energy sales are regulated among generators and distributors and how regulated prices are established for the determination of the tariffs charged to end users. In Argentina, however, with the changes that are taking place in the generation sector, it is unclear what the generating companies’ role as sellers will be.

In Brazil, the regulated purchase price used in the determination of tariffs to end users is based on average prices of open bids, and there are separate bidding processes for existing and new energy. Bidding processes for new energy contemplate long-term generation contracts in which new generation projects must cover the growth of demand foreseen by distributors. The open bids for existing energy consider shorter contractual terms and seek to cover the distributors’ contractual needs arising from the expiry of prior contracts. Each bidding process is coordinated centrally. Authorities set maximum prices and, as a result, contracts are signed where all distributors participating in the process buy pro rata from each offering generator.

In Colombia, distributors are free to decide their supply, being able to define the conditions of public bidding processes where they acquire energy for the regulated market, and they are able to buy energy on the spot market. Prices paid by end users reflect an average of the purchase price. Since 2004, the CREG (the Colombian Energy and Gas Regulation Commission) is working on a proposal to modify the energy contracting system in the Colombian market. Under the proposal, the existing contracting system will be modified into an electronic contract system. This mechanism will replace the current bidding process for energy auctions with standardized commercial conditions, where contractual demand will be treated as a single aggregate demand.

In Peru, as in Chile, distributors are obligated to enter into contracts, and the legislation was amended so that public bids for energy would be based on distributor requirements. Currently, there are only a few contracts between generators and distributors that are in force at “bar price” (the equivalent of the node price in Chile), which is set on the basis of centralized calculations. However, since 2007 contracts are based on public bids. The authority approves the terms and conditions for the bidding and sets the maximum price for each bid.

In all the countries there is some statute in force that promotes the use of renewable energy. However, only in Chile is an obligatory quota defined for the incorporation of this kind of technology.

  i)

    Companhia de Interconexão Energética — CIEN

Our subsidiary Companhia de Interconexão Energética S.A. (CIEN) was initially in the business of selling electricity in Argentina and Brazil, but due to the reduction in the availability of power generation and physical guarantee of energy and its associated power, the Company is focusing its business on a different compensation structure that is not based on the purchase and sale of energy between the countries. Given the strategic importance of the Company’s assets in relations between Brazil and Argentina, the Company and the Brazilian government have jointly drawn up a new business plan model changing its selling activity to an electricity transmission activity with payment of a fixed compensation. This new plan involves integrating its transmission lines with the Brazilian transmission grid operated by the Brazilian government.

In previous years, the Argentine and Uruguayan governments formalized toll payments with the Company to transport energy between the two countries. Management considers that this situation further emphasizes the importance of the application made to the Brazilian government to approve the new business plan and believes that it will probably be approved. In addition, on June 4, 2010 the Company signed a new transmission contract for a seven-month period for a total of US$ 155 million to cover the energy transmission required by the Argentine government.

Finally, on April 5, 2011, the Diario Oficial (The Official Gazette) published Portarías Ministeriales (Ministerial Decrees) 210/2011 and 211/2011 that equipped CIEN with a regulated interconnection line involving payment of a regulated toll, The Receita Anual Permitida (RAP), or income permitted annually, corresponded to Brazilian reals 248 million, to be adjusted according to the Broad National Consumer Price Index (IPCA) every year in June and with the rate to be reviewed every four years. The Line 1 concession lasts until June 2020 and the Line 2 concession until July 2022, with compensation provisions for non-amortized investments. This successfully concludes the change in CIEN’s business model that we had previously been reporting.

Ampla and Coelce

On September 11, 2012, the Brazilian government promulgated Provisional Law 579, which became definitive on January 13, 2013. This directly affects the electricity generation, transmission and distribution concession-holding company, including Ampla and Coelce (subsidiaries of our associate Endesa Brasil). The new legislation establishes, among other things, that the government, as grantor, will use the New Replacement Value (VNR) to make the corresponding payment to the concession-holding companies, with respect to indemnities, for those assets that have not been amortized at the end of the concession period.

This new situation led to a modification in the way in which the subsidiaries of our associate valued and classified the indemnity amounts when the concession period ends. Before, following a focus based on the historic cost of the investments, these rights were booked as an account receivable, now passing to being valued as a function of VNR and classifying these rights as financial investments available for sale. At the close of this year therefore, a new estimate was made of the amounts that Ampla and Coelce expect to receive at the end of the concession period, leading to the booking of a larger asset and financial income amounting to ThCh$ 112,274,835 (ThCh$ 14,182,820 at the level of Endesa Chile, booked as participation in the earnings of associates accounted for using the participation method).

 d)    Restrictions on the use of funds of associates

Endesa Brasil has to comply with certain financial covenants that require that it to maintain a minimum equity, which restricts the transfer of assets to its owners, The Company’s ownership interest in Endesa Brasil’s net restricted assets as of December 31, 2012 amounts to ThCh$ 112,916,261 (ThCh$ 241,837,340 at December 2011).

Other information

 

  1.

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, Endesa Chile and its subsidiaries have contractual commitments for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment amounting to ThCh$ 11,775,412 and ThCh$ 104,286,787 respectively.

 

  2.

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Group has property, plant and equipment pledged as security for liabilities of ThCh$ 57,129,918 and ThCh$ 154,141,593, respectively (see Note 31).

 

  3.

The Company and its foreign subsidiaries have insurance policies for risk earthquake, machinery breakdown and damages for business interruption with a US$ 300 million limit. The premiums associated with these policies are presented under the line item “Other Current Non Financial Assets” within assets.

 

  4.

Gas Atacama, in which Endesa Chile has a 50% ownership interest, consolidated using the proportional integration method, has, among other assets, a combined-cycle electricity generation plant in northern Chile. As importing natural gas from neighboring countries was not possible, Gas Atacama has been forced to generate electricity using alternative fuels, the cost of which significantly increased since the last few months of 2007 due to increases in oil prices. As a result, the company filed lawsuits for early termination of its contract with distributor Emel, On January 25, 2008, a ruling was issued in arbitration proceedings on this matter to deny the early termination. This situation significantly reduced the recoverable value of the aforementioned plant and, therefore, as of December 31, 2007, an impairment provision of US$ 110 million was recorded.

 

  5.

The asset situation, primarily that of works and infrastructure, involving facilities built to support power generation in the SIC grid, has changed since 1998, due primarily to the installation in the SIC of new thermoelectric plants, the arrival of LNG, and new projects that will be starting up soon. This results in a new configuration of ample supply for the coming years, in which it is expected that these facilities will not need to be used. Therefore, as of December 31, 2009, the company recorded an impairment provision of ThCh$ 43,999,600 for these assets.

 

  6.

As a result of the February 27, 2010 earthquake in Chile, some of our plant and equipment were partially or totally impaired. The impact on the assets however is minor as the only facilities that suffered some damage in infrastructure were the Bocamina I and Bocamina II plants.

Due to these impairments, we have written down ThCh$ 369,643 in assets. Additionally, the Group had to incur expenditures related to repair and capital improvements totaling ThCh$ 9,733,426, primarily at the Bocamina I plant. All of the disbursements incurred are covered by insurance, which carries a US$ 2.5 million policy deductible.

Endesa Chile and subsidiaries has the necessary insurance cover for these types of exceptional claims, covering material damage as well as business interruption (see Note 23).

On October 16, 2012 Endesa Chile began the collection process on all of bank performance bonds guaranteeing compliance with the works and their correct and timely execution, all referring to the contract “Bocamina Thermal Plant Expansion Project turnkey contract ACP-003,06 for a 350 MW coal-fired plant” (the “Contract”) signed on July 25, 2007 between Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. (“the owner”) and the consortium formed by (i) the Chilean company Ingeniería y Construcción Tecnimont Chile y Compañía Limitada, (ii) the Italian company Tecnimont SpA, (iii) the Brazilian company Tecnimont do Brasil Construcao e Administracao de Projetos Ltda., (iv) the Slovak company Slovenske Energeticke Strojarne a.s. (SES) and (v) the Chilean company Ingeniería y Construcción SES Chile Limitada (all collectively “the Contractor” or “the Consortium”).

These performance bonds were for a total of US$ 74,795,164.44 and UF 796,594,29 (US$ 38,200,000 approx.). As of December 31, 2012, the amount of the performance bonds effectively collected amounts to US$ 93,996,585.73, with a balance still outstanding of US$ 18,940,294.84.

The collection of these bank performance bonds was imputed to reducing the costs that the Company incurred due to the non-compliances under the contract, and are capitalized in the project.

Together with the collection of these performance bonds, Endesa Chile has reserved all the rights conferred by the Contract and applicable national legislation to demand the full and timely compliance with the agreed obligations by the Contractor.

On October 17, 2012, Endesa Chile requested the International Arbitrations Chamber of Paris for arbitration proceedings to enforce the rights conferred by that instrument.

 

  8.

At the end of the 2012 fiscal year, our subsidiary Compañía Eléctrica Tarapacá S.A. has booked a loss for impairment of ThCh$ 12,578,098 in order to adjust the book value of its property, plant and equipment to its recoverable value (see Note 3.d).

The recovery of deferred tax assets depends on whether sufficient tax profits are obtained in the future, The Company believes that future profit projections for its subsidiaries will allow these assets to be recovered.

 

  c)

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Group has not recognized any deferred tax assets related to tax losses amounting to ThCh$ 10,176,831 and ThCh$ 5,466,208, respectively (see Note 3.m).

Endesa Chile has not recognized deferred tax liabilities associated with investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, as it is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and considers that it is probable that such timing differences will not be reversed in the near future. At December 31, 2012, the total amount of this unbooked timing difference is ThCh$ 520,353,425.

The Group is potentially subject to income tax audits by the tax authorities of each country in which it operates. Such tax audits can be performed until the applicable statute of limitations expires. Tax audits by their nature are often complex and can require several years to complete. The following table presents a summary of tax years potentially subject to examination:

 

             Country   

 

            Period             

 

   
 

         Chile

   2007-2012  
 

         Argentina

   2007 -2012  
 

         Colombia    

   2010-2012  
 

         Peru

   2008-2012  

Given the range of possible interpretations of tax regulations, the results of any future inspections carried out by tax authorities for the years subject to audit can give rise to tax liabilities that cannot currently be quantified objectively. Nevertheless, Endesa Chile’s management estimates that the liabilities, if any, that may arise from such audits, would not significantly impact the future results of the Group companies.

RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY

The Group’s companies are exposed to certain risks that are managed by systems that identify, measure, limit concentration of, and monitor these risks.

The main principles in the Group’s risk management policy include the following:

 

   

Compliance with good corporate governance standards.

 

   

Strict compliance with all the Group’s internal policies.

 

   

The Group’s Risk Committee is the organization in charge of defining, approving, and updating the basic principles that are to inspire actions taken regarding risk.

 

   

Risk Governance is organized operationally through the Risk Control and Risk Management areas, which are two independent functions.

 

   

Each business and corporate area determines:

 

  I.

The markets and product areas in which it can operate based on its knowledge and ability to ensure effective risk management.

 

  II.

Criteria regarding counterparties.

 

  III.

Authorized operators.

 

   

Business and corporate areas establish their risk tolerance in a manner consistent with the defined strategy for each market in which they operate.

 

   

Business limits are ratified by the Group Risk Committee.

 

   

All of the operations of the businesses and corporate areas are conducted within the limits approved for each case.

 

   

Businesses, corporate areas, lines of business, and companies design the risk management controls necessary to ensure that transactions in the markets are conducted in accordance with Endesa Chile’s policies, standards, and procedures.

17.1.  Interest rate risk

Changes in interest rates affect the fair value of assets and liabilities bearing fixed interest rates, as well as the expected future cash flows of assets and liabilities subject to floating interest rates.

The objective of managing interest rate risk exposure is to achieve a balance in the debt structure to minimize the cost of debt with reduced volatility in profit or loss.

In compliance with the current interest-rate hedging policy, the proportion of fixed debt and/or hedged debt over the net total debt was 71% as of December 31, 2012.

Depending on the Group’s estimates and on the objectives of the debt structure, hedging transactions are performed by entering into derivatives contracts that mitigate interest-rate risk. Derivative instruments currently used to comply with the risk management policy are interest-rate swaps to set a floating rate at fixed rate.

Floating interest rate

     29     17

Total

     100     100

17.2.  Exchange rate risk

Exchange-rate risks involve basically the following transactions:

 

   

Debt executed the Groups companies that is denominated in a currency other than that it which its cash flows are indexed.

 

   

Payments to be made for the acquisition of project-related materials made in a currency other than that it which its cash flows are indexed

 

   

Group company income directly linked to dollar fluctuations.

 

   

Cash flows from foreign subsidiaries to the Chilean parent company, which are exposed to exchange-rate fluctuations.

In order to mitigate foreign currency risk, the Endesa Chile Group’s foreign currency risk management policy is based on cash flows and includes maintaining a balance between U.S. dollar flows and the levels of assets and liabilities denominated in this currency. The objective is to minimize the exposure to variability in cash flows that are attributable to foreign exchange risk.

The hedging instruments currently being used to comply with the policy are currency swaps and forward exchange contracts. In addition, the policy seeks to refinance debt in the functional currency of each of the Group’s companies.

17.3.  Commodities risk

The Endesa Chile Group has a risk exposure to price changes in certain commodities, basically due to:

 

   

Purchases of fuel used to generate electricity.

 

   

Energy purchase/sale transactions that take place in local markets.

In order to reduce the risk in situations of extreme drought, the Company has designed a commercial policy that defines the levels of sales commitments in line with the capacity of its generating power plants in a dry year and includes risk mitigation terms in certain contracts with unregulated customers.

Considering the operating conditions faced by the power generation market in Chile, with drought and price volatility in the international markets, the Group is constantly verifying the advisability of hedging against the impacts that these price swings have on the results. As of December 31, 2012, there are swap operations for 462,000 barrels of Brent crude oil for January 2013 and 365 thousand tons of coal for February through June 2013 (see Note 18.3.a).

Depending on the operating conditions which are constantly being updated, these hedges may be modified or may cover other commodities.

17.4.   Liquidity risk

The Group maintains a liquidity risk management policy that consists of entering into long-term committed banking facilities and temporary financial investments for amounts that cover the projected needs over a period of time that is determined based on the situation and expectations for the debt and capital markets.

The projected needs mentioned above include maturities of financial debt, net of financial derivatives. For further details regarding the features and conditions of financial obligations and financial derivatives, see Notes 16 and 18, and Appendix No.4, respectively.

As of December 31, 2012, the Endesa Group has cash and cash equivalent totaling ThCh$ 276,794,675 and committed long-term credit facilities totaling ThCh$ 193,708,000. As of December 31, 2011, the Endesa Group had ThCh$ 421,282,284 in cash and cash equivalents and ThCh$ 199,892,000 in committed long-term lines of credit.

17.5.   Credit risk

Given the current economic situation, the Group has been conducting detailed monitoring of its credit risk.

Trade receivables:

The credit risk for receivables from the Group’s commercial activity has historically been very low due to the short term period of collections from customers, resulting in significant non-cumulative receivables amounts.

Some countries’ regulations allow the suspension of energy service to customers with outstanding payments, and almost all contracts have termination clauses for payment default. The Company monitors its credit risk on a ongoing basis and measures quantitatively its maximum exposure to payment default risks, which, as stated above, are very low.

Financial assets:

Cash surpluses are invested in the highest-rated local and foreign financial entities (with risk rating equivalent to investment grade) with thresholds established for each entity.

Banks that have received investment grade ratings from at least two of the three major international rating agencies (Moody’s, S&P, and Fitch) are selected for making investments.

Investments are backed with treasury bonds from the countries in which the company operates and/or with commercial paper issued by the highest-rated banks; wherever possible and when market conditions permit, the treasury bonds are preferred.

Derivative instruments are entered into with entities with solid creditworthiness, all derivative transactions are executed with entities with investment-grade ratings.

17.6.   Risk measurement

The Endesa Chile Group measures the Value at Risk (VaR) of its debt positions and financial derivatives in order to ensure that the risk assumed by the Company remains consistent with the risk exposure defined by the management, thereby reducing volatility in the income statement.

The portfolio of positions included in calculating the current Value at Risk consists of the following:

 

   

Debt

 

   

Financial derivatives

 

 

F-74


Table of Contents

 

 

The VaR determined represents the potential loss in value of the portfolio of positions described above in one day with a 95% confidence level. To determine the VaR, we take into account the volatility of the risk variables affecting the value of the portfolio of positions including:

 

   

U.S. dollar Libor interest rate.

 

   

The customary local indices used in the banking industry for debt, considering the various currencies in which our companies operate.

 

   

The exchange rates of the various currencies used in the calculation.

The calculation of VaR is based on generating possible future scenarios (at one day) of market values (both spot and term) for the risk variables, using Bootstrapping simulations. The number of scenarios generated ensures compliance with the simulation convergence criteria. The table of volatilities and correlations between the various risk variables calculated based on the historical values of the logarithmic price return has been applied to simulate the future price scenario.

Once the price scenarios have been obtained, the fair value of the portfolio is calculated using such scenarios, thereby obtaining a distribution of possible values at one day. The one-day 95%-confidence VaR number is calculated as the 5% percentile of the potential increases in the fair value of the portfolio in one day.

The various debt positions and financial derivatives included in the calculation have been valued consistently using the financial capital calculation methodology reported to the management.

Taking into account the assumptions described above, the Value at Risk of the previously discussed positions, broken down by type of position, is shown in the following table:

 

        Balance at

EMPLOYMENT BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS

21.1    General information

Endesa Chile and certain of its subsidiaries in Chile, Colombia, Peru and Argentina provide various post-employment benefit plans for all or some of its active or retired employees. These benefits are calculated and recorded in the financial statements according to the criteria described in Note 3.j.1, and include primarily the following:

 

  -

Defined benefit plans:

Complementary pension: The beneficiary is entitled to receive a monthly amount that supplements the pension obtained from the respective social security system.

Employee severance indemnities: The beneficiary receives a certain number of contractual salaries upon retirement, Such benefit is subject to a vesting minimum service requirement period, which depending on the company, varies within a range from 5 to 15 years.

Electricity: The beneficiary receives a monthly bonus to cover a portion of his billed residential electricity consumption.

Health benefit: The beneficiary receives health coverage in addition to that to which he is entitled under his social security regime.

 

  -

Other benefits:

Five-year benefit: A benefit certain employees receive every 5 years; begins to accrue after the second year.

Unemployment: A benefit paid regardless of whether the employee is fired or leaves voluntarily. This benefit accrues on a daily basis and is paid at the time of contract termination (although the law allows for partial withdrawals for housing and education).

Seniority Bonuses in Peru: There is an agreement to give to employees (subject to the collective agreements) an extraordinary bonus for years of service upon completion of the equivalent of five years of actual work. This benefit is given according to the following:

 

  Accumulating 5, 10 and 15 years   –           1 basic monthly salary  
  Accumulating 20 years   –           1  1/2 basic monthly salaries  
  Accumulating 25, 30, 35 and 40 years   –           2  1/2 basic monthly salaries  

 

  -

Defined benefits contribution:

The Company makes contributions to a retirement benefit plan where the beneficiary receives additional pension supplements upon his retirement disability or death.

31.3 Lawsuits and arbitrations proceedings

As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, the most relevant litigation involving the Group companies are as follows:

 

   a)

Pending lawsuits Endesa Chile and Subsidiaries:

 

  1.

In 2005, three lawsuits were filed against Endesa Chile, the Chilean Tax Authority and the Chilean General Water Affairs Bureau (the “DGA”), currently being treated as a single proceeding, requesting that DGA Resolution 134, which established non-consumptive water rights in favor of Endesa Chile to build the Neltume hydroelectric station project, be declared null as a matter of public policy, with compensation for damages. Alternatively, damages were sought for the detriment allegedly sustained by the plaintiffs due to the loss of their status as riparian owners along Pirihueico Lake, as well as due to the devaluation of their properties. The defendants have rejected these allegations, contending that the resolution complies with all legal requirements, and that the exercise of this right does not cause any detriment to the plaintiffs, among other arguments. The sums involved in these suits are undetermined. E This case was joined with two other cases: the first one is captioned “Arrieta v. the State and Others” in the 9th Civil Court, docket 15279-2005 and the second is captioned “Jordán v. the State and Others”, in the 10th Civil Court, docket 1608-2005. With regard to these cases, an injunction has been ordered against entering into any acts and contracts concerning Endesa Chile’s water rights related to the Neltume project. In terms of the proceeding status, the regular evidence period has ended. Once the expert report has been filed, regarding which Endesa requested its annulment, since the recognition hearing had not been carried out. The Chilean Treasury and DGA became a part of the above annulment incident.

 

  2.

Two legal proceedings were initiated in 2008 and 2011 against Pangue S.A. (whose legal successor is currently San Isidro S.A., subsidiary of Endesa Chile), where the plaintiffs sought damages that they allege were due to flooding caused by the operations of the Pangue hydroelectric station, in particular related to spills caused in July 2006. Pangue S.A. has responded to such lawsuits arguing that its operation of the power station was in accordance with existing regulations and that it acted with due diligence and care. Consequently, Pangue S.A. argues that there is no causal link between the floods and the spills caused by the station during the period in question. These proceedings are being reviewed in several courts. The amount claimed in one of these cases is equal to $30,000,000 (US$ 62,505) and the other is for an undetermined amount. In the first of these trials, on June 27, 2012, there was a first instance sentence filed, which rejects the claim filed in all its parts. The plaintiff has filed a recourse appeal against such sentence, which to date is still pending review by the court. In the other, the evidence period has ended and the company is waiting to hear the sentence issued. It is worth noting that these proceedings are covered by an insurance policy. The company management deems that, due to the prior judicial sentences in favor of Pangue S.A. in similar proceedings and the current amount of the proceedings currently in force (two) these trials will stop being informed.

 

  3.

During 2010, three lawsuits for damages were filed against ENDESA CHILE by plaintiffs alleging that they were affected by the flooding of the Bio-Bio River in Region VIII. The plaintiffs sued Endesa Chile for losses caused by its deficient operation of the Ralco hydroelectric station during the flood. These three cases were joined, and a first instance ruling has been issued which denies the claim filed in all its parts. The ruling was appealed and such appeal has not yet been reviewed by the court. The plaintiffs are required to produce legal evidence proving the causal link between the operation of the Ralco hydroelectric station during the floods and the damages that the plaintiffs claim they sustained as a result of deficient facility operation. Regarding the state of the proceedings on March 27, 2012, there was a first instance sentence filed, which rejects the claim filed in all its parts. The plaintiff filed an appeal recourse, regarding which on August 28, 2012 the court reviewed the case. Afterwards, a constituent judge disqualified herself, annulling the court review of the case, ordering that such dealings be carried out again, which to date it is still pending. The amount involved in the three lawsuits totals Ch$ 14,610,042,700 (approximately US$ 30.44 million). It is worth noting that the total risk of these proceedings is covered by an insurance policy.

In July and September of 2010, Ingeniería y Construcción Madrid S.A. and Transportes Silva y Silva Limitada, respectively, filed separate lawsuits against Endesa Chile and the Chilean General Water Affairs Bureau (the “DGA”), seeking to declare the annulment of DGA’s administrative resolution 134 that granted Endesa Chile’s water rights for the Neltume hydroelectric station. Similarly, Ingeniería y Construcción Madrid S.A. and Transportes Silva y Silva Limitada, respectively, each one filed suits against D.G.A.’s administrative resolution 732, that authorized the relocation of the collection point of

such rights null as a matter of public policy. Ultimately, the plaintiffs attempted to demand payment for their water rights located in the area of influence of the hydraulic works for the future Neltume station. Endesa Chile has rejected these claims, contending that the plaintiffs are engaging in wrongful prosecution to prevent the construction of the station in order to obtain monetary compensation. As to the procedural status of the two lawsuits, it is worth noting that in the trial filed by Ingeniería y Construcción Madrid S.A. (Case No. 7036-2010), the discovery period has expired, pending the resolution of the reconsideration recourse filed by Endesa Chile against a resolution of a discovery nature. Regarding the other lawsuit (Case No. 6705-2010), requesting the annulment of DGA resolution 732, on March 12, 2012 a ruling was issued that declared the proceeding as abandoned. Afterwards, on June 27, 2012, Ingeniería y Construcción Madrid filed a similar lawsuit again before another Court of Law (Case No. C-15156-2012), legal suit that is pending the transfer to file the rejoinder. On the other hand, in the losses filed by Transportes Silva y Silva Ltda, in one of them (Case No. 16025-2012), which contests DGA resolution 134, the proceeding was declared as abandoned. In another suit filed (Case No. 17916-2010), declaring the proceeding as abandoned, however it was denied, and an appeal was filed against the ruling. In a first instance, this proceeding is pending that the judge file the discovery stage. All these lawsuits are for an undetermined amount.

On May 24, 2011, Endesa Chile was served with a lawsuit filed by 19 riparian owners along the Pirihueico Lake, seeking to declare null DGA Resolution 732, which authorized the relocation of water catchment rights for the Neltume station, from the Pirihueico Lake 900 meters downstream along Fui River. The plaintiffs seek to have this annulment annotated at the margin of the notarized instrument that memorialized DGA Resolution 732, which approved the transfer of the catchment. The plaintiffs also seek to have the recordation of said instrument struck from the waters registry, if entered, and to require the Chilean Treasury, the DGA and Endesa Chile to pay damages to the plaintiffs as a result of the challenged DGA resolution, seeking to reserve their right to indicate the type and amount of damages in subsequent legal proceeding. The claim is for an undetermined amount since the plaintiffs have requested that damages be determined in another suit, once the DGA’s administrative resolution is declared null and void. To date the discussion period is over and the discovery writ has been issued, which has been served on the plaintiffs and Endesa Chile, both of whom filed motions seeking the annulment or modification of the writ which were both rejected. The proceeding is suspended by mutual agreement by the parties, until March 9, 2013.

On September 4, 2012, Endesa Chile was served with an arbitration lawsuit filed by Southern Cross Latin American Private Equity Fund III (Southern Cross), and the proceeding is being seen before the arbitrator Victor Vial del Río, for an alleged non-compliance of the Shareholders’ Agreement of the companies forming part of the GasAtacama Group entered into on August 1, 2007, specifically Article VI, of the aforementioned agreement relative to the “Provision on Business Rights”, due to the alleged obstacle created against the provision of Southern Cross’ rights in the business. Endesa Chile contested the suit on October 11, 2012 and filed, on the same date, a counterclaim against Southern Cross, for violating Article VI, Section 6.4 of the aforementioned Agreement. Southern Cross filed its reply writ to the main lawsuit on November 8, 2012 and responding the counterclaim on November 20, 2012. Endesa Chile filed on November 30, 2012 its rejoinder of the main lawsuit and contesting the counterclaim on December 11, 2012. In order to end the discussion period, it is pending that Southern Cross file its rejoinder of the counterclaim. The amount of the claim is for $ 4,799,600,000 (US$ 10 million).

The Regional Trade Union of Endesa Chile Workers (Sindicato Regional de Trabajadores de Endesa Chile), filed lawsuit against Endesa Chile, Endesa Eco, Central Eólica Canela S.A., Celta, Pangue, Pehuenche, San Isidro, so that it is declared that Endesa Chile must determine the “operational profitability” based on the Balance Sheet and Annual Report, both from 2011, registered before the Superintendence of Securities and Insurance (Superintendencia de Valores y Seguros) and published in the Web Page www.endesa.cl, stating, in turn that is operational profitability was 15% higher in the 2011 Accounting Period and that, consequently, the maximum share of the bonus for profits regarding the 2011 Accounting Period corresponds to the workers affiliated to the plaintiff trade union. The bonus amounts to 2.15 wages (RBPM) for the weight that corresponds since the Group Bargaining Contracts were in force during that year, and for the second half of 2011 (current Group Bargaining Contract) 2.3 RBPM and for the first half (prior Group Bargaining Contract) 2.0 RBPM. Therefore, they request that Endesa Chile be sentenced to pay them the difference between 2.15 RBPM and what was effectively paid that was 0.5742 RBPM, amounting to 1.5758 RBPM, plus readjustments, interests and costs. Subsidiarily and in case that Endesa Chile’s operational profitability is declared; it must be determined based on the parent company’s results. They request that such companies do not be considered as “subsidiaries”, at least for labor purposes. The companies sued have Endesa Chile’s overwhelming majority participation and lack workers whether totally or virtually, which is why the profit sharing bonus

must be calculated on the operational profitability obtained by the Endesa parent company with the so-called affiliates. Consequently, Endesa Chile must pay the workers affiliated to the plaintiff Trade Union the difference between the RBPM associated to the operational profitability obtained in the aforementioned manner and what was effectively paid, 0.5742 RBPM, plus readjustments, interests and costs. In subsidiary of the above and in case that it is decided that Endesa Chile’s operational profitability must be determined based on its parent company’s results, without the aforementioned subsidiaries, it is declared that the profit sharing bonus must be calculated based on formal and verifiable background information by the Court of Law and not on Endesa Chile’s assertions. For the above purpose of determining specific amount corresponding to each worker for profit sharing, the value of their wages (RBPM) must be considered, whose amount must be set based on credited background information and determined during the proceeding process or in the sentence compliance stage. Additionally, they request that Endesa Chile in the future pay the profit sharing benefit over the same criteria determined by the Court of Law in the proceeding sentence. In reference to the proceeding status, the lawsuit is notified and is pending the term to contest its filing, and the parties have been called to attend preparatory hearing on February 5, 2013.

In 2001, a lawsuit was filed against Enersis Chile’s Colombian generation subsidiary Emgesa S.A. E.S.P., Empresa de Energía de Bogotá S.A. E.S.P. (“EEB”) and Corporación Autónoma Regional de Cundinamarca (“CAR”), by the inhabitants of Sibaté, Department of Cundinamarca. The lawsuit seeks to make the defendants jointly and severally liable for the damages arising from the pollution of the El Muñá reservoir, as a result of Emgesa’s pumping of polluted waters from the Bogotá River. Emgesa has challenged these allegations, establishing that it is not liable for these damages, arguing, among other things, that it receives already polluted water, among other arguments. The plaintiffs’ initial demand was for $3,000,000,000 in thousands of Colombian pesos (approximately US$1,696,611 million). Emgesa petitioned for the joinder of approximately 60 public and private entities that also discharge their effluents into the Bogotá River or that otherwise have responsibility for the environmental management of the river basin, which is why the lawsuit was sent on to the State Council (Consejo de Estado), with remedies pending by these entities before this regulatory body. On June 29, 2010, the parties were notified of a motion filed by the attorney for the plaintiffs, whereby the plaintiffs sought to declare the acts of the Administrative Court of Cundinamarca since August 1, 2006 null, claiming that from that date such court lost the authority to hear the current process, since the Administrative Circuit Courts started to be in force, which were the competent courts to hear the class actions and popular legal suits in conformance with Law 472, dated 1998. Emgesa gave its timely opinion regarding the matter, claiming that such annulment request would be irrelevant and unlawful. Currently, the Third Section of the State Council has resolved to confirm the ruling of the Court that denied Emgesa’s impleader petition and joined various legal entities as defendants, including: Hospital Juan F. Copras, Refisal S.A., Tinzuque S.A., Emocables S.A., Cristalería Peldar S.A., Líquido Carbónico Colombiano S.A., Icollantas S.A. and Agrinal S.A. Also, the annulment request filed by the plaintiffs (Municipality of Sibaté) was denied, although the State Council required the Administrative Court for Adversary Proceedings (Tribunal Contencioso Administrativo) to pass the case to the Administrative Courts of the Bogotá Circuit (Juzgados Administrativos del Circuito de Bogotá) so that they can continue their review. In June 2011, the Administrative Court for Adversary Proceedings issued a writ ruling that the lawsuit was passed to the Fifth Administrative Court of Bogotá (Juzgado Quinto Administrativo de Bogotá), which then in turn sent it to the State Council to resolve on appeal the writ of admission requested by Alpina. The State Council then resolved the appeal keeping the tie of Alpina to this case and the proceeding is pending before the Fifth Administrative Court of Bogotá to continue its course.

The Peruvian tax authority, SUNAT (Superintendencia Nacional de Aduanas y de Administración Tributaria), through Tax and Fine Resolutions (Resoluciones de Impuestos y Multas) issued in 2001, questioned Edegel’s method used in accounting for depreciation of Edegel’s revalued assets. In January 2002, Edegel filed a petition (recurso de reclamacion) against these resolutions, which SUNAT dismissed as groundless. Edegel filed an appeal with the Tax Court (Tribunal Fiscal), which ruled in its favor in 2004, upholding (i) its right to depreciate the goodwill obtained from revaluating the assets, based on the fact that Edegel had a statutory stability agreement (convenio de estabilidad jurídica), and (ii) the inapplicability of Rule VIII of the Tax Code, since there was no fraud or simulation involved. Also, the resolution provided that SUNAT had to verify that the revaluation of assets was not done at more than fair market value. From that date, Edegel has received several notifications from SUNAT requesting a determination of the revaluation surplus and the tax payable. In January 2006, a complaint was filed, followed by an appeal filed in 2008 against the resolution of SUNAT’s claim before the Tax Court. In February 2012, the Tax Court ruled in a last administrative instance on the Edegel litigation for income taxes for the 1999 accounting period regarding the voluntary reevaluation of assets. The Court of Law has sentenced in favor of Edegel with respect to Central Huinco (Huinco Power Plant) (civil works)

and Central Matucana (Matucana Power Plant) (civil works, equipment and machinery and other assets) and against Edegel with respect to the other power plants (Santa Rosa, Callahuanca, Moyopampa and Huampaní), providing that the SUNAT “will proceed to the debt recalculation.” Regarding the 1999 accounting period, it is expected that SUNAT will notify the Intendancy Resolution through which it will re-settle the debt, complying with what was ordered by the Tax Court and in reference to the 2000 and 2001 accounting periods: The oral report and later Resolution by the Tax Court is pending. The sums of the amounts at issue are of approximately US$36.55 million.

The Autonomous Regional Corporation of Cundinamarca (Corporación Autónoma Regional de Cundinamarca (CAR)) through Resolutions 506, of March 28, 2005, and 1189, of July 8, 2005, filed suit against Emgesa S.A. ESP., EEB and la Empresa de Acueducto y Alcantarillado de Bogotá to perform works in the El Muña Reservoir required to maintain the waterworks concession in favor of Emgesa. Emgesa S.A. ESP has filed a response, seeking an annulment as well as relief action against such resolutions before the Administrative Court of Cundinamarca (Tribunal Administrativo de Cundinamarca), First Section. Moreover, there is also an annulment and relief action filed against Resolutions CAR 849 and 1188 of 2005, with regard to the at the Tominé Reservoir, which, among other obligations, is required to maintain the waterworks concession in favor of Emgesa. The water of the Tominé Reservoir feeds into the Bogotá River, which in turn feeds into the El Muña reservoir. Additionally, there are two parallel proceedings: a request for an annulment and a relief action which was brought by Emgesa, which argues that under the CAR, specifically under Article 2 of Resolution 1318 of 2007 and Article 2 of Resolution 2000 of 2009, EMGESA is required to implement a Contingency Plan and perform an “Air Quality” study whenever the pumping of reservoir water is suspended. This process is aimed at having those administrative acts annulled, estimating that the amounts that these proceedings involve are of around US$13 million; and an Annulment and Refiling Procedure started by Empresa de Energía de Bogotá (EEB) against CAR, attempting to annul Resolution 506 (2005) and 1189 (2005). This proceeding is similar to the one Emgesa filed against CAR; however, Emgesa was involved to this proceeding as a third party. Upon request of the company this later proceeding was accumulated to the Emgesa proceeding, which is why it is treated as a single proceeding. In terms of the proceeding status, theses proceedings are in an evidence stage, still pending the expert and documentary evidence phase.

Pending lawsuits in associates:

Endesa Brazil and Subsidiaries:

 

  1.

Meridional Servicios, Emprendimientos y Participaciones (“Meridional”) is a company whose only assets are the rights derived from the acquisition of the construction companies Mistral and CIVEL, which entered into a civil works contract with Centrais Elétricas Fluminense S.A. (“CELF”). The contract was terminated by CELF before its privatization process started, which eventually led to the creation of Enersis’ Brazilian distribution subsidiary Ampla. Since CELF’s assets were transferred to Ampla during the privatization, Meridional sued Ampla in 1998 contending that the assets had been fraudulently transferred. Ampla only acquired assets from CELF, but is not its successor-in-interest since CELF, a state-owned company, still exists and maintains its legal capacity. The plaintiff demanded payment of pending invoices and contractual penalties for termination of the civil works contract. In March 2009, the court decided in favor of Meridional, and Ampla and the State of Rio de Janeiro filed appeals. On December 15, 2009, the State Court accepted the appeal and overturned the lower court’s decision obtained by the construction company in March 2009, in Ampla’s favor. Meridional filed an appeal, which was denied. In July 2010, Meridional filed a new Appeal under Specific Court Regulations (Agravo Regimental) with the Superior Court of Justice of Brazil, which the court also denied in late August 2010, ruling it was groundless. In order to overturn such decision, Meridional filed a Petition for Writ of Mandamus (Mandado de Seguranca), which was also denied. In June 2011, Meridional filed an Appeal to Request Clarification of the Decision (Embargos de Declaracao) in order to clarify an omission by the Superior Court of Justice in the decision on the Petition of Writ of Mandamus, which was not accepted by the court. Against this decision, Meridional filed a Regular Appeal (Recurso Ordinario) before the Superior Court of Justice (in Brasilia). On August 30, 2011 the proceeding was sent to the Public Prosecutor’s Office and, on December 13, 2011, to the Reporting Justice of the Superior Court of Justice (Ministro Relator del Tribunal Superior de Justiça (STJ)). On March 28, 2012 the Reporting Justice decided the Regular Appeal in favor of Meridional.  . Ampla and the State of Rio de Janeiro filed an Appeal under Specific Court Regulations against the Reporting Justice’s decision, which was accepted by the First Court Room of the Superior Court of Justice on August 28, 2012, determining that the Regular Appeal of the Petition of Writ of Mandamus must be submitted to the full Court and not only by one single Justice. The plaintiff (Meridional) challenged the decision. The sentence of August 28, 2012 was published on December 10, 2012, once the Amendment of Judgment (Embargos Declaração) has been filed by Ampla to remedy the existing error in its publication, in order to avoid future divergence. The sum of this trial is estimated to be at approximately US$434.65 million.

In October 2009, Tractebel Energía S.A. sued CIEN claiming an alleged breach of the “Purchase & Sale Agreement for 300 MW of Firm Capacity with related energy originating from Argentina” entered into in 1999 by and between CIEN and Centrais Geradoras do Sul do Brasil S.A (Gerasul — presently Tractebel Energia). Tractebel asked the court to order that CIEN pay a rescission penalty of R$ 117,666,976.00 (approximately US$ 57.58 million) plus other fines due to the non-availability of “firm capacity and related energy,” and asked the court to determine those other fines in its ruling. The breach allegedly occurred due to a failure by CIEN to assure the availability of capacity contractually agreed with Tractebel over the 20-year period, which allegedly took place beginning in March 2005. In November 2009 CIEN answered the lawsuit, arguing that this unavailability was caused by the “Argentine Crisis,” since CIEN imports all the energy it delivers — when needed - to Tractebel. CIEN also argued that the “Argentine Crisis” was an extraordinary event in which CIEN was not involved to any extent, and that this situation was even acknowledged by the Brazilian authorities at the time. In May 2010, Tractebel notified CIEN via a written statement that it intended to exercise its step-in rights in Line I (30%). The proceeding is currently at the trial stage. In October 2011, Tractebel filed its reply to the filings submitted by CIEN, and the lawsuit was sent to the judge in November for him to decide on the lawsuit and determine if he will provide CIEN the opportunity to make any statements it feels necessary or to begin discovery. On June 11, 2012 Cien filed a presentation to the court of law reinforcing the argument of the Argentinean crisis, attaching reports from Argentinean legal experts and from the School of Engineering of the University of Buenos Aires. On October 22, 2012, the judge accepted CIEN’s request of joining this legal suit with the lawsuit filed by CIEN against Tractebel in 2001, which discussed the collection of values relative to the rate of exchange and taxing “gatilho” (trigger). On November 29, 2012, Tractebel filed an Amendment of Judgment against such sentence, which is pending resolution.

Furnas Centrais Eletricas S.A. filed a suit against CIEN, which was served on June 15, 2010, based on CIEN’s alleged breach of Firm Capacity Purchase Agreement for the purchase of 700 MW of firm capacity with related energy originating from Argentina. The agreement was signed in May 1998, with CIEN

committing itself to purchase electricity in the Wholesale Electric Market of the Argentine Republic (Mercado Eléctrico Mayorista de la República Argentina), and transporting it from the Argentine electric system through the Interconnection Transmission System (Sistema de Transmissão de Interligação), to be made available in Brazil at the Itá substation. The contract has a 20-year term effective June 21, 2000. On April 11, 2005, CIEN informed Furnas that it was unable to fulfill the agreement due to events beyond its control, alleging force majeure. Consequently, on April 14, 2005, Furnas notified CIEN that it rejected the force majeure allegations. Furnas is requesting that CIEN pay R$520,800,659 (approximately US$254.85 million) as a rescission penalty as provided for in the agreement, as adjusted according to the terms of such agreement, plus interest from the date of filing of the claim until actual payment, as well as other penalties based on the lack of availability of the contracted capacity, and other damages to be determined upon the final decision . Discovery in the lawsuit is now completed and, in respect of the foreign language documents presented by CIEN, the trial judge of first instance determined that those documents would be excluded from the lawsuit, which decision was unanimously affirmed on June 14, 2011 by the 12th. Civil Section of the State Court. CIEN has filed a Regular Appeal (Recurso Especial) against this decision, which will be decided by the Superior Court of Justice in Brasilia. At present, the decision of such appeal is pending.

In December 2001, the article of the Brazilian Federal Constitution used by Ampla to claim an exemption from the COFINS tax (Contribuição para o Financiamento da Seguridade Social) was amended. Ampla only started to pay the COFINS tax beginning in April 2002 because it believed that the changes in law are effective 90 days after they are published. However, the Federal Revenue (Receita Federal) argued that this constitutional norm applies only to amendments at the level of statutes, but not to those made to the Federal Constitution itself, which would apply immediately. In November 2007, the appeal was decided at the administrative appeals level (Consejo de Contribuyentes, Taxpayers Council), against AMPLA. In October 2008, Ampla filed a special appeal that was denied. Therefore the lawsuit has been lost administratively, however, since the same litigation discussed another issue (sentenced in favor of Ampla in the Council but recurred by Administration), as long as the discussion does not end regarding the other issue, the judicial stage will not start. The amount is of US$ 87.81.

In order to fund its investment in Coelce in 1998, Ampla issued long-term debt abroad through deeds called Fixed Rate Notes (FRNs) that were under a special fiscal system through which interests received by non-resident subscribers were exempt from taxation in Brazil, when the debt was issued with a minimum maturity of 8 years. In 2005 the Brazilian Taxing Administration notified Ampla through a Minute that it declares the non-application of a special fiscal system since it understood that it had happened implicitly on advanced amortization, before the maturity was complied with, because Ampla had gotten financing in Brazil allocated to financing the FNRs subscribers. In Ampla’s opinion, they are two independent operations legally valid. The non-application of the system assumes that Ampla incurred in non-compliance on retaining the tax and entering it on interests paid to non-resident subscribers. The Minute was appealed and in 2007 the Consejo de Contribuyentes annulled it. However, the Brazilian Taxing Administration contested this decision before the Superior Chamber of Fiscal Resources (Cámara Superior de Recursos Fiscales), the final administrative instance and on November 6, 2012 it filed sentence against Ampla. The decision was notified to Ampla on December 21 and on December 28, Ampla filed clarification recourse before the Chamber in order to clarify a final resolution regarding contradictory points of the sentence and that the relevant defense arguments omitted be incorporated. The amount is of US$ 401.22.

In 2002, the State of Rio de Janeiro issued a decree establishing that the ICMS (Imposto sobre operações relativas a circulação de mercadorias e sobre prestações de serviços de transporte interestadual, intermunicipal e de comunicação) should be calculated and paid on the 10th, 20th and 30th days of the same month of the accrual. Ampla continued entering ICMS in accordance with the previous system (on the 5th day of the month following its accrual) and did not adopt this system between September 2002 and February 2005 due to cash flow problems. Additionally, Ampla filed a lawsuit to determine the constitutionality of the demand of the advanced revenue. Ampla starting from March 2005, has been adopting the ICMS according to the new system. In September 2005 the State of Rio de Janeiro issued a resolution against Ampla to collect the fine on late payments, set in the aforementioned Decree of 2002. Ampla appealed the resolution before the Administrative Courts of Law, based on the fiscal Amnesty Laws of the State of Río de Janeiro published in 2004, 2005 and 2006 (condoning interests and penalties if the taxpayer paid for the pending taxes). Ampla alleges that if the aforementioned fiscal amnesties for Ampla do not turn out to be applicable, the law would treat taxpayers that are delayed only a few pays in the payment of taxes (Ampla’s case) in a worse manner than those who, formally, later recurred to different fiscal amnesties to regulate their taxing situation through paying taxes that were not paid in the past. The

En Banc Council (a special body within the Taxpayers Council, last administrative instance) on May 9, 2012 entered judgment against Ampla. Which was notified on August 29, 2012. Ampla decided to adopt an extraordinary strategy and requested a review of the decision by the administrative authorities based on the amnesty law (review proceeding contemplated by the 2006 Amnesty Law). The request was filed before the competent entity of the State Public Treasury. Thereafter, the petition was forwarded to the aforementioned entity and successively before the Governor of Rio de Janeiro (instance contemplated by tax and administrative law, for decisions based on equity, in our case, under the argument of taxpayers that did not pay the tax being in a better situation than Ampla’s). A decision on the request filed is pending, which is why the debt should be suspended pending the final analysis of the proceeding in the administrative scope. In November 2012 the State of Rio de Janeiro has inscribed the debt in the public register as past due, implying the need to contribute the guarantee of 140% on November 12, of the taxable debt in order to continue receiving public funds. Once such decision is issued, probably unfavorable, Ampla will recur to the judicial branch. The amount is of US$ 102.96 million.

In late 2002, Enersis’ Brazilian generation subsidiary CGTF filed a petition against the Federal Revenue seeking an acknowledgment that the assets imported for the turbo-generator units should be classified under “Other Generators” in order to be eligible for a 0% Import Tax (Imposto de Importação, or II) and for Industrial Products Tax (Imposto sobre Produtos Industrializados, or IPI). Endesa Fortaleza obtained got an interlocutory resolution in its favor allowing to clear goods from customs with a 0% duty, after depositing a bond with the court. Endesa Fortaleza obtained a favorable resolution in the administrative instance and in the Second Judicial Instance. In 2009 , the Federal Union filed clarification recourse against the sentence of the Second instance that was sentenced in favor of Endesa Fortaleza. In March 2010, the Federal Revenue filed a Special Appeal (Recurso Especial) with the Superior Court of Justice in Brasilia. In 2011, the Federal Revenue was notified that its Regular Appeal had been denied, and the Federal Revenue appealed this decision. The bond deposited in the court must continue as guarantee for the proceeding until final sentence is filed. The amount is of US$ 38.19 million.

The Endesa Chile management considers that the provisions registered in the Consolidated Financial Statements, attached hereto, adequately cover the risks resulting from litigation and other operations described in this Note, which is why it does not consider that there are additional liabilities than those specified herein.

Given the characteristics of the risks covered by these provisions, it is impossible to determine a reasonable schedule of payment dates, in case there are any.

31.4 Financial covenants

Various of the Company’s loan agreements, and those of some of its subsidiaries, include the obligation to comply with certain financial ratios, normal in contracts of this nature. There are also affirmative and negative covenants requiring the monitoring of these commitments. In addition, there are restrictions in the sections of events of default of the agreements.

1.    Cross Default

Some of the financial debt agreements of Endesa Chile contain cross-default clauses. The Company’s syndicated loan under New York law, signed in 2008 and which expires in 2014, with a disbursed amount of US$200 million makes no reference to its subsidiaries so the cross default can only arise with other own debt. In order to accelerate payment of this debt due to cross default with respect to another debt, the amount overdue of a debt must exceed US$ 50 million, or the equivalent in other currencies, and other additional conditions should be met including the expiry of grace periods (if any) and formal notification of the intention to accelerate the debt by creditors representing over 50% of the amount due under the agreement.

Regarding the bond issues of Endesa Chile registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), commonly called “Yankee Bonds,” a cross default can be triggered by another debt of the same company or of any of its Chilean subsidiaries, for any amount overdue provided that the principal of the debt giving rise to the cross default exceeds US$ 30 million or its equivalent in other currencies. Debt acceleration due to cross default does not occur automatically but has to be demanded by the holders of at least 25% of the bonds of a certain series of Yankee Bonds. In addition, events of bankruptcy or insolvency of foreign subsidiaries have no contractual effects on the Yankee Bonds of Endesa Chile. The last Yankee Bond of Endesa Chile matures in February 2097.

The domestic bonds of Endesa Chile state that cross default can be triggered only by the default of the issuer in cases where the amount overdue exceeds US$ 50 million or its equivalent in other currencies. Debt acceleration requires the agreement of at least 50% of the holders of the bonds of a certain series at a bond-holders’ meeting

2.    Financial covenants

Financial covenants are contractual commitments with respect to minimum or maximum financial ratios that the company is obliged to meet at certain periods of time (quarterly, annually, etc.). Most of the financial covenants of the Endesa Chile Group limit the level of indebtedness and evaluate the ability to generate cash flows in order to service the companies’ debts. Various companies are also required to certify these covenants periodically. The types of covenants and their respective limits vary according to the type of debt.

The domestic bonds of Endesa Chile include the following financial covenants whose definitions and calculation formulas are established in the respective indentures:

Series H

- Consolidated Debt Ratio: A consolidated debt ratio, being Financial debt to Capitalization, should be no more than 0.64. Financial debt is the sum of Interest-bearing loans, current, Interest-bearing loans, non-current, Other financial liabilities, current, Other financial liabilities, non-current and Other obligations guaranteed by the issuer or its subsidiaries, while Capitalization is the sum of Financial liabilities, Equity attributable to the parent company and Minority participations. As of December 31, 2012, the debt ratio was 0.38.

- Consolidated Equity: A minimum Equity should be maintained of Ch$ 756,942 million, which limit is adjusted at the end of each year as established in the indenture. Equity is the sum of Equity attributable to the parent company and Minority participations. As of December 31, 2012, the equity of Endesa Chile was Ch$ 2,541,242 million.

- Financial Expense Coverage: A financial expense coverage ratio should be maintained of at least 1.85. Financial expense coverage is the quotient between i) the Gross Margin plus Financial Income and Dividends Received from associate companies, and ii) Financial expenses; both items refer to the period of four consecutive quarters months ending on the quarter being reported. As of December 31, 2012, this ratio was 5.76.

- Net Asset Position with Related Companies: A Net asset position should be maintained with related companies lower than or equal to a hundred million dollars. The Net asset position with related companies is the difference between i) the sum of Accounts receivable from related entities, current, Accounts receivable from related entities, non-current, less transactions in the ordinary course of business at less than 180 days term, short-term transactions of associates of Endesa Chile in which Enersis S.A. has no participation, and long-term transactions of associates of Endesa Chile in which Enersis S.A. has no participation, and ii) the sum of Accounts payable to related entities, current, Accounts payable to related entities, non-current, less transactions in the ordinary course of business at less than 180 days term, short-term transactions of associates of Endesa Chile in which Enersis S.A. has no participation, and long-term transactions of associates of Endesa Chile in which Enersis S.A. has no participation. As of December 31, 2012, using the exchange rate prevailing on that date, the Net asset position with related companies was a negative US$ 349.1 million.

Series M

- Consolidated Debt Ratio: A consolidated debt ratio, being Financial debt to Capitalization, should be no more than 0.64. Financial debt is the sum of Interest-bearing loans, current, Interest-bearing loans, non-current, Other financial liabilities, current, Other financial liabilities, non-current, while Capitalization is the sum of Financial liabilities, Equity attributable to the parent company and Minority participations. As of December 31, 2012, the debt ratio was 0.36.

- Consolidated Equity: As for Series H.

- Financial Expense Coverage Ratio: As for Series H.

The rest of the debt of Endesa Chile includes other covenants like leverage and debt coverage ratios (debt/EBITDA ratio), while the Yankee Bonds are not subject to financial covenants.

In the case of Endesa Chile, the most restrictive financial covenant as of December 31, 2012 was the debt ratio, with respect to the syndicated loan under New York law which expires in June 2014.

In Peru, the debt of Edegel includes the following covenants: debt, leverage, interest coverage, equity to debt and debt to equity and debt coverage (debt/EBITDA) ratios. As of December 31, 2012, the most restrictive financial covenant of Edegel was the debt ratio, corresponding to the 2nd domestic bonds program which matures in January 2014.

In Argentina, Endesa Costanera has just one covenant which is the maximum debt, corresponding to a loan from Credit Suisse International which matures in March 2013. The debt of El Chocón includes covenants of maximum debt, equity, interest coverage, debt payment coverage (debt/EBITDA) and leverage ratios. In the case of El Chocón, as of December 31, 2012, the most restrictive financial covenant was the interest coverage ratio, corresponding to loans from Deutsche Bank, Standard Bank and Itaú, which mature in February 2015.

In Colombia, the debts of Emgesa are not subject to compliance with financial covenants, a situation that also applies to the debt of the rest of the companies not mentioned in this Note.

Lastly, in most of the contracts, debt acceleration for non-compliance with these covenants does not occur automatically but is subject to certain conditions, like a cure period.

Our Argentine subsidiary, Endesa Costanera, did not make an installment payment due on March 30, 2012 of US$ 17.6 million (which included US$ 4.3 million in interest expense) and another installment payment due on September 30, 2012 of US$ 17 million (which included US$ 4.5 million in interest expense) under the terms of a supplier credit agreement with Mitsubishi Corporation (“MC”) originally entered into in 1996. In addition, Endesa Costanera will not be able to pay the installment payment which matures on March 31, 2013 of US$ 15.4 million (which included US$ 4.2 million in interest expense). The aggregate principal amount accrued under the supplier credit agreement as of December 31, 2012, including capitalized interest, was US$ 141 million. Endesa Costanera has experienced difficulties in making timely payments under its agreement with MC on a recurring basis since the Argentine crisis of 2002, but had in the past received waivers from MC expressing its willingness to renegotiate payments. The relevant terms of the supplier credit provide for a 180-day grace period for each payment, and the first grace period expired on September 26, 2012. As of the date of this Report, Endesa Costanera has not received any waivers for the payments past due. To declare the indebtedness due and payable, MC must formally accelerate the debt with ten days prior notice. If MC chooses to do so, the amount payable would be the full principal of US$ 141 million. As of the date of this Report, we have not received any acceleration notice and negotiations to restructure the indebtedness are on-going. Defaults and cross defaults at the Endesa Costanera level do not trigger cross default provisions under indebtedness of Endesa Chile or any of our Chilean subsidiaries.

31.5 Other Information

 

  a)

Our Argentine subsidiary Endesa Costanera shows a working-capital deficit and negative equity in its statement of financial position, pressed by the difficulties it is facing in obtaining tariff adjustments to cover the real costs of generation, leading to problems in its short-term financial equilibrium. Endesa Costanera expects to correct the present situation depending on a favorable resolution of requests made to the Argentine government. The equity risk that this company represents for the Group is not significant.

 

  b)

The Project of our subsidiary HidroAysén is at the stage of resolution of claims against the environmental qualification before the Committee of Ministers and in the preparation of the technical and environmental studies for its transmission line needed for the submission of the environmental impact assessment.

33.  SANCTIONS

The following companies belonging to the Group have received sanctions from the administrative authorities:

Endesa Chile

 

  -

During the 2011 fiscal year, the company was fined ThCh$662,482 by the Electricity and Fuels Superintendency (SEF) for the blackout on March 14, 2010. Endesa Chile filed an appeal against the measure with the Santiago Court of Appeals, which rejected the appeal on January 18, 2013 and upheld the fine. The timeframe for appealing against this ruling has not yet expired.

Pehuenche

 

  -

On October 6, 2011, the Securities and Insurance Superintendency (Superintendencia de Valores y Seguros, SVS) issued Exempt Resolution No. 545 and applied a sanction fining the Directors of Pehuenche who participated in the approval of the Energy and Capacity agreement signed between the Company and its parent company, Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. (Endesa), on November 19, 2007.

The following fines were applied:

 

  i)

The Directors who were not members of the Directors’ Committee were fined for not having verified, according to the SVS resolution, that the Energy and Capacity sales agreement signed between Empresa Eléctrica Pehuenche S.A. and its parent company Endesa on November 19, 2007 was entered into under equitable conditions normally prevailing in the market, and for having approved the Minutes of the Board meeting stating that Directors’ Committee Report had been read when only the Minutes of the Directors’ Committee meeting had actually been read. The Directors were fined UF 300 each.

 

  ii)

The Directors who were members of the company’s Directors’ Committee on the date that the aforementioned agreement was signed were fined for not having issued, in accordance with the SVS resolution, the Report referred to in that regulation. They were each fined UF 400.

The Directors filed an appeal with the competent civil court after paying 25% of the total fine to the General Treasury of the Republic. As a consequence, the fines and their grounds are being questioned before the ordinary courts of law, which, in a summary proceeding, are studying the Directors’ claim requesting their acquittal.

On August 22, 2012, the first party, Endesa, and the second party, Inversiones Tricahue, and other minority shareholders, entered into a transactional agreement in which the minority shareholders desisted from all arbitration, administrative, and criminal actions against Endesa, Pehuenche, and the Directors who were in place on November 19, 2007. In exchange, Endesa agreed to rescind the capacity and energy supply agreement of November 19, 2007 and enter into a new one under the same conditions but with prices at marginal cost; this agreement will be in force as of the date it is signed until December 31, 2021. Both parties also agreed to vote favorably on the rescission and the signing of the new agreement at the Pehuenche Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting. Endesa undertook to pay Pehuenche the price difference that arose from the price of the November 19, 2007 agreement, in force from January 1, 2008 to July 31, 2012, and the price difference from that paid from August 1, 2012 until the date the new capacity and energy supply agreement was signed, according to the calculation methods and conditions of the new agreement. On October 4, 2012, the Pehuenche Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting unanimously approved the rescission and the signing of a new contract. On October 19, the Pehuenche Board of Directors voted to pay an interim dividend for the amount it will receive from the price differences implemented by Endesa; the dividend will be paid on November 5, 2012. However, the Directors must pay the fine imposed by the SVS. The respective insurance will cover these fines, and we are in the process of declaring and paying these sanctions to the Treasury.

 

  -

During the 2011 fiscal year, the company was fined ThCh$288,996 by the Electricity and Fuels Superintendency (SEF) for the blackout on March 14, 2010. Pehuenche has filed an appeal against the measure with the Santiago Court of Appeals, which rejected the appeal on January 18, 2013 and upheld the fine. The timeframe for appealing against this ruling has not yet expired.

34.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

ENDESA CHILE

The following essential events are reported in accordance with Articles 9 and 10, second section, of Law 18,045 on the Securities Market and the provisions of that Superintendency’s General Regulation No.30.

On January 8, 2013, Endesa Chile has accepted the terms received from insurance adjustor Becket S.A. Liquidadores de Seguros informed in letter dated January 7, 2013 regarding the final and definitive amount to be paid for the losses sustained in the February 27, 2010 earthquake. These terms have also been accepted by all of the insurance companies.

Regarding Endesa Chile’s Bocamina I plant, an agreement has been reached on the insurance settlement, with US$ 85,665,673 to be paid for loss of profits and material damage (US$ 66,165,673 and US$ 19,500,000, respectively) as a result of the earthquake. Our subsidiary has received advance cash payments of US$ 42,665,673 for the loss.

Regarding Bocamina II, also owned by Endesa Chile, the claim settlement involves US$ 112,999,528, of which US$ 2,953,306 is for material damage and US$ 110,046,222 is for loss of profits (ALOP).

As of December 31, 2012, Endesa Chile has recorded US$ 114,711,895 in its operating results for settlement of an insurance claim covering loss of profits. This results in a gain of US$ 55,043,356 for Enersis after taxes and non-controlling interests.

On January 29, 2013, Endesa Chile reported that, in the international arbitration procedure filed by our company with the International Chamber of Commerce of Paris (ICC) in October 2012 due to the differences between the parties to the Turnkey Construction Agreement for the Bocamina II thermoelectric plant owned by Endesa Chile, Endesa has been notified by the Technical Office of the Paris International Chamber of Commerce that the members of the SES-TECNIMONT Consortium have proceeded to answer Endesa Chile’s arbitration request separately with their claims and, at the same time, have filed a countersuit against Endesa Chile for US$ 1,294 million in the case of Tecnimont and US$ 15 million in the case of SES.

Endesa Chile considers that there are no grounds for the countersuits, so our company will defend its position in this arbitration suit with the conviction that the law and the facts in this dispute are on its side, and have justified its collection on the bank guarantee bonds due to the Consortium’s serious breaches of contract.

Considering the above, and given the unfounded claims of the countersuits, the company does not anticipate any adverse financial effects on its assets, liabilities, or results at this time.

No other subsequent events of significance have occurred between January 1, 2013 and the date these financial statements were issued.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Endesa Brasil S.A.

Niterói – RJ, Brazil

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Endesa Brasil S.A. and subsidiaries (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

2. Significant accounting policies

 

  2.1. Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements were prepared considering different assessment bases used in accounting estimates. The accounting estimates involved in the preparation of the financial statements were based on objective and subjective factors, considering management’s judgment to determine the appropriate amounts to be recorded in the financial statements. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the valuation of financial assets at fair value and present value, analysis of credit risks to determine the allowance for doubtful accounts, as well as analysis of other risks to determine other provisions, including the provision for contingencies. Settlement of transactions involving these estimates may result in amounts significantly different from those recorded in the financial statements due to the probabilistic treatment inherent in the estimation process. The Company reviews its estimates and assumptions at least annually.

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

  2.2. Basis of consolidation—Continued

The reporting period in the financial statements of consolidated subsidiaries is the same as that of the Company, and accounting policies have been consistently applied by the consolidated companies. The main consolidation procedures include:

 

  (a) Derecognises the assets and liabilities balances among consolidated companies;

 

  (b) Derecognises the share held in the capital, reserves and retained earnings of consolidated companies;

 

  (c) Derecognises income and expense balances and unrealised income arising from intercompany transactions;

 

  (d) Segregation of non-controlling interests in the consolidated financial statements.

Particularly regarding the investment in Consórcio Tapajós, balances were proportionally consolidated considering the Company’s interest.

 

  2.3. Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain balances that have been measured at fair value when required by applicable regulations.

 

  2.4. Balances and foreign currency translation

In the preparation of the Company’s financial statements, foreign currency transactions, i.e., in any currency other than the functional currency, are recorded based on the exchange rate in force on the date of each transaction. At the end of each reporting period, the monetary items in foreign currency are retranslated at the rates in force at the end of the year. Gains and losses arising from the updates of these assets and liabilities noted between the exchange rate in force on the transaction date and the financial statements date are recognised as financial income or expense, in the income statements.

  2.5. Foreign currency translation

The Group’s consolidated financial statements are presented in Brazilian Reais (R$), which is also the parent company’s functional currency. All values are rounded to the nearest thousand (R$000), unless when otherwise indicated.

For each entity the Group determines the functional currency, and for those entities whose functional currency differs from the Brazilian Real, the financial statements were translated into the functional currency at the closing date.

The financial statements of the indirect subsidiaries CTM and TESA were originally prepared in Argentinean pesos (ARS$ - functional currency). Assets and liabilities were translated into Brazilian Reais, at the exchange rate at December 31, 2012 – ARS 1.00 - R$ 0.4155, disclosed by the Central Bank of Brazil (December 31, 2011 – ARS 1.00 - R$ 0.4358), whereas profit or loss accounts were translated at the average monthly rate.

Assets and liabilities of the foreign indirect subsidiaries are translated into Brazilian Reais at the exchange rate in force at the balance sheet date, and the corresponding income statements are translated at the average exchange rate for the month of the transaction date. Exchange rate differences arising from the referred to translation are recorded separately in equity. Upon sale of a subsidiary abroad, the accumulated deferred amount recognised in equity is posted to the income statement.

 

  2.6. Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and, excluding discounts, rebates and taxes or charges on sales.

 

  2.6.1. Distribution revenue

Electric energy distribution services are measured by reference to electric energy amounts delivered within a given period.

  2.6. Revenue recognition—Continued

 

  2.6.1. Distribution revenue—Continued

This measurement takes place based on the electricity meter reading schedule defined by subsidiaries COELCE and Ampla Energia. Electric energy distribution services are billed considering this reading schedule, and service revenue is recorded as bills are issued. In order to adjust readings to the related accounting periods, the services rendered between the reading date and the end of each month are recorded on an estimated basis.

 

  2.6.2. Transmission revenue

Transmission revenue is recognised based on a specific document (Ratifying Resolution) issued annually by the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL) for a 1-year period from July 1 to June 30 each year. Monthly revenue is recognised by reference to amounts reported by the National System Operator (ONS) and refers to revenue from the transmission system availability.

 

  2.6.3. Unbilled revenue

This corresponds to revenue from electric energy supplied to customers but not billed, and to revenue from the use of the distribution network but not yet billed. Unbilled revenue is estimated for the period between the last monthly reading and the last day of the month.

 

  2.6.4. Construction revenue

IFRIC 12 – Service Concession Arrangements (“IFRIC 12”) requires electric energy concessionaires to record and measure service revenue in accordance with IAS 11 - Construction Contracts (“IAS 11”) (construction or improvement services) and IAS 18 - Revenue (“IAS 18”) (operation - electric energy supply services), even if subject to one single concession arrangement.

The Company accounts for revenue and costs relating to construction work or improvements to infrastructure facilities used for rendering electric energy distribution services.

The construction margin adopted is defined as zero, considering that: (i) the core activity of the subsidiaries is the distribution of electric energy; (ii) all construction revenue refers to construction of infrastructure facilities in order to attain their business purpose, namely distribution of electric energy; and (iii) Endesa Group outsources the construction of infrastructure facilities to unrelated parties. Each month, all additions to intangible assets in progress are transferred to the statement of income as construction costs, after deduction of amounts received in the form of special obligations.

 

  2.6.5. Interest income

Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest rate on the principal amount outstanding. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payment on receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument to the original net carrying amount of the financial asset or liability.

 

  2.7. Financial instruments - Initial recognition and subsequent measurement

 

  2.7.1. Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets within the scope of IAS 39 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement - are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, available-for-sale financial assets, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. Endesa Group determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition, as they become part of the instrument’s contractual provisions.

Financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of that financial asset.

Initial recognition and measurement—Continued

Endesa Group’s financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, short- term investments, accounts receivable from customers, concessionaires and licensees, accounts receivable from resellers, public utility concession (indemnification assets), collaterals, and derivative financial instruments.

Subsequent measurement

The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as described below:

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated in the initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term. This category includes derivative financial instruments entered into by Endesa Group that do not qualify for hedge accounting, as set forth by IAS 39.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with the related gains or losses recognised in the income statement.

Held-to-maturity investments

Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities are classified as held-to-maturity when the Endesa Group has the positive intention and ability to hold them to maturity. After initial measurement, held-to-maturity investments are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less impairment.

Held-to-maturity investments—Continued

Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The amortisation of the effective interest rate is included in the income statement as financial income. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the income statement in finance costs. The Group did not have any held-to-maturity investments during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and incurred fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortisation is included in finance income in the income statement. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the income statement as financial cost.

Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are those non-derivative financial assets not classified as:

 

  (a) Loans and receivables;
  (b) Held-to-maturity investments; or
  (c) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

Subsequent measurement—Continued

Available-for-sale financial assets—Continued

After initial measurement, available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value, with unrealised gains or losses recognised as other comprehensive income until the investment is derecognised, except for impairment losses, interest calculated using the effective interest rate method and exchange gains or losses on monetary assets, which are recognised in the profit or loss of the period.

When the investment is derecognised or determined to be impaired, cumulative gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income must be recognised in the income statement.

Derecognition (write-off) of financial assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised when:

 

  u The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;

 

  u Endesa Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either; and (i) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (ii) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognised to the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement in the asset.

In that case, the Group also recognizes an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group has retained.

Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay.

 

  2.7.1.1.   Cash and cash equivalents

Cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investing or any other purposes. The Group considers cash equivalents to be short- term investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Thus, an investment normally qualifies as a cash equivalent if it has a short-term maturity, e.g. three months or less, from the date of acquisition.

 

  2.7.1.2.   Accounts receivable from consumers, concessionaires and permittees

This covers accounts receivable from (i) energy supply and use of network, billed and not billed, the latter of which is estimated, (ii) services rendered, late-payment increases, among others; (iii) sale of energy to concessionaires, permittees and free consumers; (iv) energy traded through the Electric Energy Commercialization Chamber - CCEE; and (v) availability of the electric energy transmission network, until the balance sheet closing date, recorded on an accrual basis.

The allowance for doubtful accounts is established considering receivables from residential consumers in default for more than 90 days, commercial consumers in default for more than 180 days, and industrial, rural, public sector, public lighting and public services in default for more than 360 days, based on a detailed analysis in connection with significant defaulters. This is recognised in an amount considered sufficient by the Group’s management to cover probable losses on credits recorded by the Company’s subsidiaries.

 

  2.7.2. Impairment of financial assets

The Group assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred “loss event’”) and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation and observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

  2.7.3. Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities within the scope of IAS 39 are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. The Group determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition.

Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value and in the case of loans and borrowings, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, bank overdrafts, loans and borrowings, debentures and derivative financial instruments. The Group has not designated any financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

Subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as follows:

Held for trading

Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term. This category includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Group that do not qualify for hedge accounting as defined by IAS 39, unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the income statement.

Loans, borrowings and debentures

After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings and debentures are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

Subsequent measurement—Continued

Gains and losses are recognised in the income statement when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the effective interest rate method during the amortisation process. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortisation is included as finance costs in the income statement.

Derecognition (write-off) of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the income statement.

 

  2.7.4. Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statement of financial position if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

 

  2.7.5. Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of financial instruments that are traded in active markets at each reporting date is determined by reference to quoted market prices, without any deduction for transaction costs.

For financial instruments not traded in an active market, the fair value is determined using appropriate valuation techniques. Such techniques may include using recent arm’s length market transactions; reference to the current fair value of another instrument that is substantially the same; a discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation models.

 

  2.8. Derivative financial instruments

Endesa Group has derivative financial instruments represented by swap contracts, aiming at partially protecting its exposure to the CDI rate arising from debentures issued by Ampla Energia and COELCE, and to exchange rate variation on CGTF’s loans and financing pegged to the US dollar. Derivative financial instruments are classified as cash flow hedge and are recognised at fair value. Gains or losses on the effective portion of these swaps are recognised directly in equity, under other comprehensive income. Note 20 include more detailed information on the derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company’s subsidiaries.

Endesa Group does not have derivative contracts for commercial and speculative purposes.

 

  2.9. Indemnification assets (Concession)

On January 11, 2013, Law No. 12,783 was enacted to make definitive the Provisional Measure No. 579 of September 11, 2012, which provides for the extension and bidding procedure for the concessions of generation, transmission and distribution of electric energy, reduction of sector charges, tariff structure and makes other provisions.

As from the publication of Law No. 12,783, the concessions of electric energy distribution covered by article 22 of Law No. 9,074 of July 7, 1995 may be extended, at the concession authority’s discretion, only once, for 30 years at most.

  2.9. Indemnification assets (Concession)

Additionally, Law No. 12,783 sets forth that the Government, as the concession authority, uses the New Replacement Value (“VNR”) to determine the indemnification of the investment amount of reversible assets not yet amortized or not depreciated, adopting the database of the Empresa de Pesquisa Energética (EPE) and the price base approved by ANEEL.

This new event caused a significant change in the criteria to be considered in the valuation and classification of reversible assets not yet amortized or depreciated at the end of the concession period.

Previously, the Company adopted the net book value (historical cost) as the method for calculating the indemnification amount and, accordingly, as the calculation basis for the effects of adopting IFRIC 12 - Services Concession Arrangements. This financial asset, represented by the indemnification amount of Ampla Energia and COELCE, was classified as “loans and receivables” and as a result of the enactment of Law No. 12,783, this financial instrument is now classified as “available-for-sale”.

Considering the prospective nature of the mentioned matter, arising from the new position of the regulatory body imposed by Law No. 12,783, the Company’s management recalculated the indemnification asset of Ampla Energia and COELCE considering the VNR of the assets at the end of the concession, and the consolidated impact disclosed in the financial revenue amounted to R$ 487,517 (Ampla Energia - R$ 307,410 and COELCE - R$ 180,107).

 

  2.10. Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the property, plant and equipment and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met. When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Group recognises such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciates them accordingly. Repair and maintenance costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

Accumulated depreciation is calculated at rates which take into consideration the effective useful lives of the assets.

  2.11. Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and expenditure is reflected in profit and loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred.

This includes the right to use the infrastructure built or acquired by the operator, or provided by the granting authority to be used as part of the electric energy service concession arrangement (right to charge consumers for the utility service provided thereby), in accordance with IAS 38 - Intangible Assets (“IAS 38”) and IFRIC 12.

This is recognised at acquisition cost, less accumulated amortisation and impairment, as applicable.

The fiscal benefit originated by the goodwill recorded in the balance sheet of subsidiary Investluz S.A. economically grounded on expected statements of operations over the concession exploration period of subsidiary COELCE, and stems from the acquisition of the concession right granted by the Government. The fiscal benefit is amortized based on the concession arrangement, monthly proportional to its profitability projected through December 31, 2027.

Intangible assets separately acquired are recognised at cost, less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment. Amortisation is recognised under the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the intangible asset. The estimated useful life and the amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, and the effect of any changes in estimates is recorded on a prospective basis.

 

  2.12. Impairment of non-financial assets

The Endesa Group’s management annually reviews net book value of its assets so as to assess events or changes in economic, operating or technological circumstances which may indicate deterioration or impairment. When such evidence is identified and net book value exceeds recoverable amount, a provision for impairment is set up by adjusting net book value to recoverable value.

  2.12. Impairment of non-financial assets—Continued

Recoverable amount of an asset item or of a cash-generating unit is defined as the higher of value in use and fair value less cost to sell. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

The Group bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations, which are prepared separately for each of the Group’s cash-generating unit’s to which the individual assets are allocated. These budgets and forecast calculations generally cover a period of five years. For longer periods, a long-term growth rate is calculated and applied to project future cash flows after the fifth year.

In estimating value in use of an asset item, estimated future cash flows are discounted to present value at a pre-tax discount rate reflecting the weighted average capital cost for the industry in which the cash generating unit operates. For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not have to record impairment loss.

 

  2.13. Provisions

General

Provisions are recognised when the Group has present (legal or not formalized) obligations as result of a past event, and it is likely that economic benefits are required to settle said obligations, and they can be reliably estimated. When the Group expects that the amount of one provision will be reimbursed, whether totally or partially, due to, for instance, an insurance contract, this reimbursement is separately recognised as an asset, but only when this reimbursement is virtually certain.

Expenses related to any provisions are presented in profit or loss, net of any reimbursements.

Provisions for tax, civil and labor risks

The Group is part to various legal and administrative proceedings. Provisions are set up for all contingencies referring to legal proceedings, the settlement of which is likely to require an outflow of funds, and that can be reliably estimated. Assessment of the likelihood of loss includes the evaluation of evidence available, hierarchy of laws and jurisdiction, the latest court decisions and their relevance in the legal realm, as well as evaluation of the Group’s legal counsel. Provisions are reviewed and adjusted to consider changes in circumstances such as applicable limitation period, conclusion of tax inspections or additional exposures found based in new legal issues or court decisions.

 

  2.14. Treasury shares

Own equity instruments that are reacquired (treasury shares) are recognised at cost and deducted from equity. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Group’s own equity instruments. Note 27 include more detailed information on the treasury share transactions.

 

  2.15. Taxation

 

  2.15.1. Income and social contribution taxes - Current

Current income and social contribution tax expenses are calculated in accordance with the tax legislation in force at financial statements date in the countries where the Company’s subsidiaries operate and generate taxable profit. From time to time, the Group’s management assesses the decisions made in relation to tax matters subject to interpretation and recognizes a provision when it is expected that income and social contribution taxes will be paid in accordance with the tax basis.

To calculate income and social contribution taxes, the Company and its subsidiaries use the Transition Tax Regime (RTT), therefore not considering the effects arising from changes introduced by Law No. 11,638 of December 28, 2007, and Law No. 11,941 of May 27, 2009.

  2.15.1. Income and social contribution taxes - Current—Continued

The subsidiaries COELCE and CGTF have tax incentives, such as a 75% decrease in income tax and non-refundable additions, calculated on exploitation profit, referring to their distribution activities up to 2013 for CGTF. The amounts corresponding to decrease in income tax are recorded as decrease of the corresponding tax expenses in profit or loss for the year and then transferred to equity under “Tax incentive reserve” in Income reserve.

Current income and social contribution taxes related to items directly recognised in equity are recognised under equity. From time to time, the Company’s management assesses the tax position requiring interpretation and sets up provision where appropriate.

 

  2.15.2. Deferred taxes

Deferred tax assets attributable to temporary differences, income and social contribution losses are recorded for future realization, based on income projections prepared by the Group’s management.

The recovery of deferred tax assets balance is reviewed at the end o every reporting period and, when it is no longer probable that future taxable profit will be available to enable the recovery of all assets - or a portion thereof -, the asset balance is adjusted based on the amount expected to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined at known tax rates applicable to the taxable profit for the years when these temporary differences should be realized. Given the uncertainties inherent to these estimates, the future taxable profit can be above or below the estimates considered for the tax asset to be recorded.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset in accordance with the tax legislation in force.

  2.16. Regulatory charges

Since Ampla Energia, CDSA, CIEN, CGTF and COELCE, subsidiaries of Endesa Brasil, operate in regulated segments, they are charged amounts as payment of regulatory charges, as follows:

 

  2.16.1. Global Reversion Reserve (RGR)

This refers to provision of amounts to be paid to Centrais Elétricas Brasileiras S.A. - Eletrobras, calculated based on 2.5% on PPE (as defined by ANEEL), limited to 3% of gross operating revenue from electric energy. The amounts are regulated on an annual basis, by means of decisions handed down by ANEEL’s Financial Supervisory Authority (SFF). As from January, 2013, through the provisions of Provisional Measure No. 579, of September 11, 2012, which became Law No. 12,783, of January 11, 2013, these amounts should no longer be passed on by the electric distribution concessionaires.

 

  2.16.2. Fuel Consumption Account (CCC)

The portion of the tariff revenue paid by distribution companies in the interconnected system, for two purposes: payment of expenses with fuel used in thermal plants that are powered to cover hydrologic uncertainties; and subsidy of part of expenses with fuel in isolated systems to enable that electric tariffs in such locations have levels similar to those adopted in interconnected systems.

  2.16.3. Energy Development Account (CDE)

The objective is to foster the energy development in the Brazilian States and competitiveness of the energy produced from alternative sources, in areas covered by interconnected systems, enabling the universal use of the electric energy services. The amounts payable are also defined by ANEEL.

 

  2.16.4. Energy Efficiency Programs (PEE) - Research and Development (P&D) - National Scientific and Technological Development Fund (FNDCT) and Energy Efficiency Company (EPE)

These refer to reinvestment programs required by ANEEL for electric energy distribution companies, whereby 1% of net regulatory operating revenue (Regulatory ROL) must be annually allocated to such funds.

 

  2.16.5. Public Electric Energy Service Inspection Fee (TFSEE)

The inspection fees charged on distribution of electric energy are differentiated and proportional to the services offered, calculated annually by ANEEL, considering the economic value added by the concession operator.

 

  2.16.6. System Service Charges (ESS)

This represents the cost incurred to maintain the reliability and stability of the National Interconnected System to meet energy consumption demand in Brazil. This cost is calculated by CCEE on a monthly basis, and paid by agents of the consumption category to generating agents.

 

  2.16.7. Financial compensation for use of water resources (CFURH)

This corresponds to a percentage that concessionaires and companies authorized to produce energy for hydroelectric generation pay for the use of water resources, calculated by the value of energy produced.

  2.18. Profit sharing

The Endesa Group recognizes a liability and a profit sharing expense from a formula that considers attainment of operating goals and specific objectives, established and approved at the beginning of each year. This amount is paid at the end of March following the year-end.

 

  2.19. Payment of dividends

The dividend recognition policy is in line with IAS 37 - Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (“IAS 37”), which determine that proposed dividends be paid and be grounded on statutory obligations, recorded as current liabilities.

The Group’s articles of incorporation establish that at least 25% of annual net income (except for the subsidiary CGTF - 2%) be paid for purposes of dividends, after allocation of the legal reserve.

As such, at the closing of the year and after the proper legal allocations have been made, the Group records the provision corresponding to the minimum mandatory dividends not yet paid in the year, whereas proposed dividends exceeding the minimum mandatory dividends are stated as “proposed payment of additional dividends” in equity.

 

  2.20. Retirement and other post-employment benefits

The Endesa Group sponsors defined benefit pension plans to certain employees, in addition to post-employment health care, which require that contributions be made to funds administered separately from the subsidiaries’ own funds.

  2.20. Retirement and other post-employment benefits—Continued

Obligations relating to pension and other retirement plans are accrued for based on actuarial calculation prepared annually by an independent actuary, using the projected unit credit method, net of collateral plan assets, where applicable, and corresponding costs are recognised over the employees’ vesting period, in compliance with IAS 19 - Employee Benefits (“IAS 19”). The projected unit credit method considers each service period as being a taxable event of an additional benefit unit, accumulated for calculation of the total obligation. Other actuarial assumptions are also used, such as biological and economic hypotheses, historical data on expenses incurred and employee contributions.

Actuarial gains and losses generated by adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions of pension and other retirement benefit plans are posted to other comprehensive income, in conformity with IAS 19, based on actuarial calculations prepared by the independent actuary, as detailed in Note 29.

The standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the Group’s financial statements are disclosed below. The Group intends to adopt these standards, if applicable, when they become effective.

 

   

IAS 19 - Employee Benefits (Revised) (“IAS 19”). The IASB has issued numerous amendments to IAS 19. These range from fundamental changes such as removing the corridor mechanism and the concept of expected returns on plan assets to simple clarifications and re-wording. The amendment becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.

  2.22. New pronouncements/amendment not yet in effect on December 31, 2012—Continued

 

   

IAS 28 - Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (as revised in 2011). As a consequence of the new IFRS 11 - Joint Arrangements, and IFRS 12 - Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, IAS 28 - Investments in Associates, has been renamed IAS 28 - Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, and describes the application of the equity method to investments in joint ventures in addition to associates. The revised standard becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.

 

   

IAS 32 - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. Amendments to IAS 32. These amendments clarify the meaning of “currently has a legally enforceable right to set-off”. The amendments also clarify the application of the IAS 32 offsetting criteria to settlement systems (such as central clearing house systems) which apply gross settlement mechanisms that are not simultaneous. These amendments are not expected to impact the Group’s financial position or performance and become effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014.

 

   

IFRS 7 - Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Amendments to IFRS 7. These amendments require an entity to disclose information about rights to set-off and related arrangements (e.g., collateral agreements). The disclosures would provide users with information that is useful in evaluating the effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position. The new disclosures are required for all recognised financial instruments that are set off in accordance with IAS 32 - Financial Instruments: Presentation. The disclosures also apply to recognised financial instruments that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are set off in accordance with IAS 32. These amendments will not impact the Group’s financial position or performance and become effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.

 

   

IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement. IFRS 9, as issued, reflects the first phase of the IASB’s work on the replacement of IAS 39 and applies to classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities as defined in IAS 39.

  2.22. New pronouncements/amendment not yet in effect on December 31, 2012—Continued

The standard was initially effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, but Amendments to IFRS 9 Mandatory Effective Date of IFRS 9 and Transition Disclosures, issued in December 2011, moved the mandatory effective date to 1 January 2015. In subsequent phases, the IASB will address hedge accounting and impairment of financial assets. The adoption of the first phase of IFRS 9 will have an effect on the classification and measurement of the Group’s financial assets, but will not have an impact on classification and measurements of financial liabilities. The Group will quantify the effect in conjunction with the other phases, when the final standard including all phases is issued.

 

   

IFRS 10 - Consolidated Financial Statements, IAS 27 - Separate Financial Statements. IFRS 10 replaces the portion of IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements that addresses the accounting for consolidated financial statements. It also addresses the issues raised in SIC-12 Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities. IFRS 10 establishes a single control model that applies to all entities including special purpose entities. The changes introduced by IFRS 10 will require management to exercise significant judgement to determine which entities are controlled and therefore are required to be consolidated by a parent, compared with the requirements that were in IAS 27. Based on the preliminary analyses performed, IFRS 10 is not expected to have any impact on the currently held investments of the Group. This standard becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.

 

   

IFRS 11 - Joint Arrangements. IFRS 11 replaces IAS 31 - Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC-13 - Jointly-controlled Entities - Non-monetary Contributions by Venturers. IFRS 11 removes the option to account for jointly controlled entities (JCEs) using proportionate consolidation. Instead, JCEs that meet the definition of a joint venture must be accounted for using the equity method. This standard becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, and is to be applied retrospectively for joint arrangements held at the date of initial application.

IFRS 12 - Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities. IFRS 12 includes all of the disclosures that were previously in IAS 27 - related to consolidated financial statements, as well as all of the disclosures that were previously included in IAS 31 and IAS 28. These disclosures relate to an entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. A number of new disclosures are also required, but has no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance. This standard becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.

 

   

IFRS 13 - Fair Value Measurement. IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance under IFRS for all fair value measurements. IFRS 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather provides guidance on how to measure fair value under IFRS when fair value is required or permitted. The Group is currently assessing the impact that this standard will have on the financial position and performance, but based on the preliminary analyses, no material impact is expected. This standard becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.

There are no other standards and interpretations issued and not yet adopted that, in management’s opinion, could significantly impact statements of operations or equity disclosed by the Company.

 

3. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

Judgments

The preparation of the Group’s financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, as of the financial statements date.

3. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptionsContinued

Estimates and assumptions

Significant assumptions regarding the sources of uncertainty of future estimates and other significant estimate-related sources of uncertainty as of the consolidated statement of financial position date, involving significant risk of future adjustments in the book value of assets and liabilities for the following financial year are discussed below.

Impairment of financial assets

Impairment occurs when the book value of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of the fair value less sale costs and the value in use. The calculation of fair value less costs of sales is based on the information available of sales transactions of similar assets or market prices less additional costs to sell the asset. The calculation of the value in use considers the discounted cash flow model. Cash flows derive from a budget prepared for the following five years and do not include reorganization activities not yet engaged by the Group or significant future investments that will improve the base of assets of the cash generating unit subject to testing. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used in the discounted cash flow method, to receipts of expected future cash and to the growth rate adopted for extrapolation purposes.

Provisions for tax, civil and labor risks

The Group recognizes provision for tax, civil and labor contingencies. Assessment of the likelihood of loss includes an evaluation of available evidence, hierarchy of laws, available case laws, most recent court rulings and their relevance in the legal system, as well as the legal counsel’s opinion. The provisions are reviewed and adjusted to take into consideration changes in circumstances, such as applicable statute of limitations, conclusions of tax audits or additional exposures identified based on new matters or court rulings.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

An allowance for doubtful accounts is set up in an amount considered sufficient by Management to cover any losses on realization of receivables, considering historical losses and an individual assessment of accounts receivable subject to realization risks.

3. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

Estimates and assumptions—Continued

Allowance for doubtful accounts—Continued

The allowance is set up based on receivables from residential consumers overdue for more than 90 days, commercial consumers overdue for more than 180 days, industrial, rural, government entities, public lighting and utilities overdue for more than 360 days, also considering in-depth analyses for customers with significant debts.

Taxes

There are uncertainties regarding the interpretation of complex tax regulation as well as the amount and period of future taxable profit. Given the long-term nature and complexity of existing contractual arrangements, differences between actual results and assumptions adopted, or future changes to such assumptions could require future adjustments to the previously recorded tax income and expenses. The Group sets up provisions based on applicable estimates for possible consequences of audits by tax authorities of the jurisdictions in which it operates. The provision amounts are based on various factors, such as experience from prior tax audits and divergent interpretations of tax regulations by the taxable entity and the tax authority in charge. Such divergent interpretations could arise from a wide range of issues, depending on the conditions prevailing in the domicile of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Deferred income tax is recognised for all unused tax losses and temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available to enable use of the referred to losses and temporary differences.

Management is required to make significant judgment to determine the deferred income tax amount to be recognised, based on the probable term and level of future taxable profit, together with future tax planning strategies.

Post-employment benefits

The cost of pension plans with defined benefit and other retirement benefits, and the present value of pension obligations are determined using actuarial valuation methods. The actuarial valuation involves use of assumptions about discount rates, expected rates of return on assets, future salary increases, mortality rates and future increases in retirement and pension benefits.

The defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each financial statement date. For more details on the assumptions used, see Note 29.

Unbilled revenue

The calculation of unbilled revenue is based on the number of days not billed in the month, the estimated amount of energy delivered during those days and the estimated average price per customer class for that month. Differences between actual and estimated unbilled revenue are usually immaterial.

They are highly liquid investments, immediately convertible into available funds, in accordance with the cash needs of the Company and its subsidiaries. Short-term investments of the Company and its subsidiaries earn interest compatible with the CDI variations.

Current

     199,584    

Non-current

     247,265    

An allowance for doubtful accounts was set up based on criteria established by regulatory legislation and analysis of specific risks of losing the overdue amounts, legal matters and application of a percentage on installment payment of debts. The amount is considered sufficient by the subsidiaries’ management to cover any losses on realization of the receivables.

 

  b) Companhia Energética de Goiás - CELG

At December 31, 2011, the subsidiary CDSA had accounts receivable from Companhia Energética de Goiás - CELG in the amount of R$ 125,375, of which R$ 65,000 was received in May 2012 and R$ 65,060 in December 2012.

 

  c) Trade within the Electric Energy Trade Chamber - CCEE

The accounts receivable balance, recorded in current assets, refers basically to the sale of energy carried out in the financial settlement within CCEE, which were made in an arm’s length condition at the time of the negotiation. At December 31, 2012, the subsidiaries Ampla Energia, CGTF, CDSA and COELCE had the amounts of R$ 10,354, R$ 29,862, R$ 16,097, R$ 31,715, respectively, recorded in accounts receivable, totaling R$ 88,028 (R$ 42,260 in 2011).

Total

       15,289               15,289       
    

 

 

      

 

 

 

 

  (*) The amount of R$ 12,917 continues outstanding due to the preliminary injunctions for suspension of payment on the dates scheduled for financial settlement of the transactions within CCEE.

 

  (**) The amount of R$ 2,372 refers to the sale of energy carried out in the special financial settlement of AES SUL (R$ 2,031) and DFESA (R$ 341) within CCEE, which receipt is still pending.

Management of the subsidiary COELCE did not record allowance for doubtful accounts for understanding that the amounts will be fully received, whether from debtors who are questioning the credits in court or from other companies that could be indicated by CCEE.

 

  d) Receivables from clients questioned in court

At December 31, 2012, the subsidiary COELCE had recorded the amount of R$ 63,303 (R$ 61,215 in 2011) related to receivables from clients questioned in court. This amount includes R$ 26,774 (R$ 21,762 in 2011) regarding receivables from various consumers who question the legality and claim refund of amounts arising from electric energy rate increases that took place during effectiveness of the “Cruzado” Economic Plan.

These consumers were granted the right to offset the claimed credits against electricity bills, by means of lawsuits, but the merits of the case are not considered unappealable. COELCE records an allowance for doubtful accounts of R$ 52,812 at December 31, 2012 (R$ 47,416 in 2011), deemed sufficient to cover any losses in connection with such lawsuits.

  e) Installment payment of debts

Installment payment of debts corresponds to agreements signed between the Company and their clients referring to renegotiation of electricity bills in arrears. These amounts are included in electricity bills, increased by fine and 1% interest per month, calculated on a pro rata daily basis and monetarily restated based on the General Market Price Index (IGPM) variation. After the amount payable in installments is restated, the first installment, if applicable, is deducted, and the interest agreed in the negotiation is applied, not exceeding 1.8% per month.

 

  f) Unbilled revenue

At December 31, 2012 the Company has recorded in Accounts receivable a total balance of unbilled revenue of R$ 308,424 (R$ 249,383 in 2011).

 

  g) Furnas Centrais Elétricas S.A. (“Furnas”) and Tractebel Energia S.A. (“Tractebel”)

At December 31, 2012, the subsidiary CIEN records accounts receivable from Furnas and Tractebel, respectively in the amounts of R$ 129,955 and R$ 69,429 (R$ 129,438 and R$ 70,947, respectively, in 2011) corresponding to the billing of firm capacity and associated energy charges, which were not paid in previous years. Based on the best estimate of receiving the amounts involved, the Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts in the total amount of R$ 196,384. The remaining accounts receivable balance from Furnas and Tractebel recorded in the current asset in the total amount of R$ 4,530, refers to billing arising from subsidiary CIEN’s new activity, when treated as a transmission company.

7. Low income consumers

Law No. 10,438, of April 26, 2002, established guidelines for classification into the low income residential category of the consumer unit with monthly consumption lower than 80kWh. Decree No. 4336, of August 15, 2002 broadened these classification rules for consumer units with monthly consumption between 80 and 220 KWh, also according to provisions established by Law No. 10,438/02.

With the enactment of Law No. 12,212/2010, regulated by ANEEL Rulings No. 407/2010 and No. 414/2010, the new criteria for receipt of the Social Electric Energy Tariff by low income consumers were established. According to the new regulations, there are no other classification criteria by consumption, and the low income subsidy may only be granted to consumers registered with Federal Government Social Programs, including Indian and quilombola (African slave descendant) communities, which are entitled to 100% discount for the first 50 kWh used, or consumers who receive the Continued Provision Benefit (BPC).

Based on ANEEL Rulings No. 407/2010 and No. 414/2010, Eletrobras will transfer to distribution companies the subsidy amount on a monthly basis, to adjust the discounts granted to low income consumers classified under the criteria of the former Rulings No. 246/2002 and 485/2004, arising from the Energy Development Account (CDE). Considering the criteria set out by the mentioned rulings and the schedule for registration of clients entitled to the benefit, the consolidated balance receivable at December 31, 2012 totals R$ 65,043 (R$ 48,708 in 2011).

This subsidy is calculated on a monthly basis by the distribution company and submitted to ANEEL for approval and validation through Decision, after which the transfer occurs.

  a) The income tax recoverable balance refers to withholding income tax (IRRF) on short-term investments, government agency retentions (Law No. 9,430/96) and prepaid income tax balance referring to calendar years 2006 to 2009. The social contribution tax recoverable balance refers to prepaid social contribution tax on net income referring to calendar years 2006 and 2007, in addition to government agency retentions, pursuant to Law No. 9,430/96.

 

  b) This refers to credits arising from capital expenditures (according to concept established by tax legislation), which are subject to monthly offset at the rate of 1/48ths.

 

  c) The amounts classified under PIS and COFINS recoverable from subsidiary Ampla Energia in the total amount of R$ 31,845 (R$ 53,696 in 2011) refer to PIS and COFINS computed on the previous sixth-month billings, supported by a court decision in rem judicatam, whereby Decree-Laws Nos. 2.445/88 and 2,449/88 were declared unconstitutional and the right to refund corresponding to the difference between the amounts paid grounded on said Decrees and those due in accordance with Supplementary Law No. 7/70 was recognised. Additionally, Ampla Energia has PIS and COFINS withholdings from government agencies.

PIS and COFINS amounts recoverable refer to subsidiary CIEN, totaling R$ 25,511 at December 31, 2012 (R$ 20,816 in 2011), and they are related particularly to PIS and COFINS overpayments made in previous years in relation to the amounts effectively due in the ordinary course of its operations. As a consequence, CIEN filed a claim for offsetting taxes overpaid and currently awaits approval thereof by the Brazilian IRS in order to set these amounts off.

The other amounts of PIS and COFINS recoverable refer to the subsidiaries COELCE, CGTF, CDSA and Prátil, respectively of R$ 2,635, R$ 3,604, R$ 1,839 and R$ 355.

11. Deferred taxes--Continued

 

Since the income and social contribution taxable base originates not only from income that could be generated but also from the existence of non-taxable revenue, non-deductible expenses, tax incentives and other variables, there is no direct correlation between net income and the income and social contribution tax income or expenses. As such, expected use of tax credits should not be the only indication of the Endesa Group’s future income.

As from 2001, with establishment of the Tax Recovery Program (REFIS), the subsidiary CDSA now determines income and social contribution taxes whereby taxable profit is computed as a percentage of gross revenue.

The deferred tax assets in the subsidiary CDSA in the amount of R$ 9,633 are recorded on remuneration of third party capital applied in construction in progress, which was deferred pursuant to Administrative Rule DNAEE No. 250/85, transferred from CELG upon the split-off that gave origin to the subsidiary CDSA.

The deferred income tax balance was maintained in assets based on future positive income projections prepared by CDSA management, which could, as from the end of the REFIS, estimated for 2015, be deducted from the taxable profit calculation in future years, by amounts sufficient to ensure realization of such assets.

The deferred tax liabilities in the subsidiary CDSA was recorded on the value of the effect of the deemed cost of fixed assets in CDSA, in the amount of R$ 82,710. The liabilities balance will be settled as from 2016, when the taxable profit of the subsidiary CDSA will be calculated based on accounting records with the end of the REFIS program.

 

12. Tax credit from merger

Tax credit arises from the merger operation conducted by COELCE with its parent company Distriluz Energia Elétrica S.A. (at that time), approved at the Special General Meeting of September 27, 1999, grounded on future income during the concession period, and is realized over the period between the merger and December 31, 2027, on a monthly basis, proportionally to projected profitability, as per ANEEL Resolution No. 269, of September 15, 1999.

On April 26, 2004, ANEEL’s Financial Supervisory Authority issued an Inspection Monitoring Report stating that the capital reserve set up upon merger of Distriluz would not have assets with economic basis as a contra entry and, as such, pursuant to CVM Instruction No. 349/01 (CVM is Securities and Exchange Commission of Brazil), determined that only the portion corresponding to the tax credit resulting from goodwill amortisation should be recorded in equity of COELCE, as it understood that only this portion has economic basis.

Given the conclusion of the understanding with ANEEL, at the Special General Meeting of April 28, 2005, the subsidiary COELCE approved the Board’s proposal of observing the regulatory agency’s recommendations, replacing the share split and redemption mechanism, after the risk of tax and corporate questioning and non-compliance with financial covenants with Financial Institutions have been ruled out, and after approval of the proper accounting adjustments by ANEEL, issued by means of Official Letter No. 584/05, of April 14, 2005. These adjustments were also in compliance with the provisions set out in CVM Instruction No. 319/99, as amended by CVM Instruction No. 349/01.

14. Indemnification assets (concession)

The Distribution Concession Agreements N° 05/96, of December 9, 1996, and N° 01/98 - ANEEL, of May 13, 1998, as amended, entered into between the Federal Government (Concession Provider - Grantor) and Ampla Energia and COELCE (Concession Operator - Operator) regulates the public services exploration of electric energy distribution by companies, where:

 

  a) The agreement establishes the services to be provided by the operator and to whom (consumer class) such services are to be provided;

 

  b) The agreement establishes performance standards for provision of the public service, in connection with maintenance and improvement of the consumer service quality, and the operator must, upon delivery of the concession, return the infrastructure under the same conditions as when they were received on occasion of execution of the agreements. To comply with such obligations, constant investments are made throughout the concession period; as such, assets used to provide the services may be replaced, whenever necessary, until the end of the concession period;

 

  c) At the end of the concession period, assets used to provide the services must be reversed to the concession provider by means of payment of an indemnity; and

 

  d) The price is regulated through a rate mechanism established in the concession agreement, based on a parametric formula (Portions A and B), and the tariff review modes are also defined, which must be sufficient to cover costs, amortisation of investments and remuneration for invested capital.

Based on the characteristics set out in the concession agreement for distribution of electric energy by the companies, management understands that the conditions for application of IFRIC 12, which establish guidance on accounting for concession of public services to private operators, are being observed so as to reflect the electric distribution business, covering the following:

 

  a) Estimated portion of investments made and not amortized or depreciated until the end of the concession period classified as financial asset, as it is an unconditional right to receive cash or another financial asset directly from the granting authority; and

 

  b) The portion remaining for determination of the financial asset (net book value) classified as intangible asset, considering that the recovery is conditional upon use of the public service, in this case, consumption of electric energy by consumers.

14. Indemnification assets (concession)--Continued

 

The infrastructure received or built from the distribution activity, originally represented by the Company’s fixed and intangible assets, is recovered by means of two cash flows, as follows: (a) partly through consumption of electric energy by consumers (issue of monthly billing of consumed/sold energy measured) over the concession period; and (b) partly as indemnity for reversible assets at the end of the concession period, to be received directly from the Concession Provider or to an entity assigned thereby.

On January 11, 2013, Law No. 12,783 was enacted and, among other provisions, it set forth that the indemnification to be paid by the concession provider for the reversal of assets linked to the public service of energy distribution will be based on unamortized VNR until the end of the concession period.

Considering the prospective nature of said matter, arising from the new position of the regulatory body imposed by Law No. 12,783, the Company’s management recalculated the indemnification assets of Ampla Energia and COELCE considering the VNR of the assets at the end of the concession period. The effect of the updating of calculation at the end of the year ended December 31, 2012 was recorded as financial income in the amount of R$ 307,410 and R$ 180,107 in Ampla Energia and COELCE, respectively.

The change in balances related to indemnification assets (concession) is as follows:

CDSA

CDSA’s property, plant and equipment items are stated at deemed cost, less accumulated depreciation, calculated on a straight-line basis, at the rates defined by ANEEL.

The Company’s management understands that as the subsidiary CDSA is a public service concession operator, at the end of the concession period, non-depreciated assets will be indemnified for the minimum amount at the net book value, by the concession provider, should it not be renewed. Pursuant to articles 63 and 64 of Decree No. 41019, of February 26, 1957, assets and facilities used for electric energy production, transmission and distribution, including sale, are tied to these services, and may not be disassembled, sold or assigned without prior express authorization from the regulating authorities.

Reversal of assets to the Federal Government

Pursuant to sub-clauses two and three of clause eleven of the Concession Agreement No.11/1997, entered into between CDSA and ANEEL on September 12, 1997, upon termination of the final term of the Concession Agreement, assets and facilities related to independent production of electric energy used in hydroelectric plants, will be included as Federal Government’s assets, with indemnity of investments made and not yet amortized, provided that they are authorized and calculated by means of ANEEL audit.

16. Intangible assets--Continued

 

ANEEL is responsible for establishing the estimated economic useful life of each distribution-related infrastructure asset, in order to determine the tariff and calculate the indemnity of reversible assets upon termination of the concession period. This estimate is periodically reviewed and accepted by the market as a reasonable/adequate estimate for accounting and regulatory purposes, representing the best estimate of useful life of assets.

Endesa Group’s management understands that amortisation of intangible assets must observe the estimated useful life of each asset comprising the set of tangible assets of the distribution infrastructure. As such, these assets must undergo individual amortisation, with observance of the useful life of each item, limited to the end of the concession period. As a result of use of this amortisation criterion, total intangible assets will always be amortized on a non-linear basis.

ANEEL Resolution No. 474, of February 7, 2012, established new depreciation rates for assets in use in the electric service, effective as from January 1, 2012, changing the useful and economic life of assets comprising the distribution infrastructure.

Prior to ANEEL Resolution No. 474, the average useful life of the set of assets of Ampla Energia and COELCE was about 22 and 25 years, respectively. As from the implementation of said Resolution, the average useful life of the assets increased to 25 and 27 years, which corresponds to an addition of 3 and 2 years, respectively, for Ampla Energia and COELCE regarding the previous average useful and economic life.

Considering this increase in the useful life of the assets that comprise the Company’s intangible assets, there was a decrease in the amortisation and corresponding increase in the residual portion of infrastructure that the Companies are expecting to receive as indemnification at the end of their concession periods. Accordingly, we noted that there was a redistribution of the infrastructure that is classified in intangible assets and financial assets, due to the adoption of IFRIC 12.

16. Intangible assets--Continued

 

The subsidiaries calculated the new estimate of the indemnification amount of the reversible assets at the end of the concession period and the amount attributable to intangible assets. Considering the economic and regulatory aspects and the better understanding of the Companies’ management, the new infrastructure measurement resulted in the reclassification to indemnification assets of Ampla Energia and COELCE of R$ 103,020 and R$ 277,360, respectively. As this is a change in estimate, we understand that the new treatment should be prospective, not giving rise to changes in the Companies’ previous balances.

Special obligations linked to the concession of public electric energy services

Obligations linked to the concession of public electric energy services represent amounts from the Federal Government, States, municipalities and consumers, as well as donations not conditional upon any return in favor of the donor and subsidies intended for investments in the distribution activity. The maturity of such obligations is set by the agency that regulates distribution concessions, the settlement of which will take place at the end of the concession period.

This book account, denominated Obligations linked to concessions, undergoes amortisation as from the second tariff review cycle, at the same amortisation rates as infrastructure assets of each distribution company, and the average rates of 4.43% p.a. and 3.98% p.a. are adopted for subsidiaries Ampla Energia and COELCE, respectively.

Special obligations linked to the concession of public electric energy services--Continued

 

At the end of the concession period, the net replacement value of obligations linked to the concession of public electric energy services will be deducted from the indemnification asset and removed from assets, in order to evidence the recording of assets belonging to the Federal Government that were under the concession operator’s management during the concession period.

Assessment of the degree of recovery

The Company’s management analyzed the impairment indicators established by the standard IAS 36 - Impairment of Assets and other circumstances and did not identify indication that assets have been recorded above their realization value.

Goodwill tied to concession

The economic basis of goodwill is the perspective of income recorded during the period of exploration of the concession of COELCE, and originates from the acquisition of the concession right granted by the Government, as mentioned in Note 12.

20. Financial instruments and operating risks

General considerations

The Company has policies to mitigate financial risks and adopt operating and financial strategies to ensure liquidity, security and profitability of its assets. For this purpose, it maintains managerial systems for controlling and monitoring its financial transactions and corresponding amounts, in order to monitor the risks and rates charged by the market.

Risk factors

a) Foreign exchange rate risk

This risk arises from the possibility of the Endesa Group to incur losses due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, which increase financial expenses and liability balances of loans and financing in foreign currency taken out in the market.

The following table presents the carrying amount of foreign currency liabilities that are not hedged by currency swap instruments:

   92,983       102,715 

We set out below a sensitivity analysis chart related to the impacts on net income of the Endesa Group if the variation of the exchange rate in 2012 were equal to that expected for 2013, according to projections based on the dollar forward curve of the BM&F (Brazilian Mercantile & Futures Exchange):

b) Interest rate risk

This risk arises from the possibility of the Endesa Group to incur losses due to fluctuations in interest rates or other debt indices, such as inflation rates, which would increase the financial expenses related to loans and financing taken out in the market. In order to minimize this risk, the Company prioritizes loans taken out at fixed rates (BNB and Eletrobras) and linked to other indices less volatile to financial market fluctuations, such as the Long-Term Interest Rate - TJLP (BNDES).

The table below shows the sensitivity analysis related to the impact on the Group’s net income if variations in interest rates and inflation rates for 2012 were equal to those expected for 2013, according to projections based on the forward curve of the BM&F:

c) Credit risk

The risk arises from the possibility of its subsidiaries to incur losses due to the difficulty in collecting amounts billed to its customers. This risk is assessed as low by the subsidiaries due to the diversification in the number of customers and the collection policy and cutting of electricity supply to customers in default. The allowance for doubtful accounts is established in an amount deemed sufficient by management of the Endesa Group to cover possible risks of realization of accounts receivable.

d) Accelerated debt maturity risk

Some subsidiaries have loans and financing agreements and debentures with covenants that, in general, require the maintenance of economic and financial ratios at certain levels (financial covenants). Failure to comply with these covenants may result in acceleration of debt maturity. These restrictions are adequately monitored and do not restrict the subsidiaries’ capacity to carry out their normal business. Currently, the Endesa Group’s debt ratio is at levels below the limit established by the financial covenants.

e) Capital risk management

The Endesa Group manages its capital to ensure continuity of its normal activities, while maximizing the return to all parties interested or involved in its operations by optimizing the debt and equity balances.

The capital structure of the Endesa Group is formed by net indebtedness (loans detailed in Notes 18 and 19, deducting cash and cash equivalents and temporary cash investments detailed in Notes 4 and 5), as well as by equity of the Group.

f) Liquidity risk

The Endesa Group’s liquidity is managed through the monitoring of forecast and actual cash flows in order to meet possible cash needs in the short-term. So as to ensure the capacity of paying its obligations in a conservative manner, the management of temporary cash investments has focused on very short-term instruments, primarily with daily maturities in order to provide maximum liquidity.

The tables below present information on future maturities of loans, financing, debentures and related party operations in foreign currency of the Endesa Group that are being considered in the projected cash flows (including interest and principal):

Valuation of financial instruments

In order to determine the fair value of loans and financing, the Company’s management used discounted future cash flows at rates deemed as fair to carry out new operations in the market. Regarding the fair value of debentures the quotations traded on the secondary market were adopted.

Hierarchical fair value

There are three levels for the classification of fair value relating to financial instruments and hierarchical level is considered to define priority for unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for financial assets or liabilities. The classification of hierarchical levels may be presented as outlined below:

 

  u  

Level 1 - Data from an active market (unadjusted quoted price) allowing daily access including on the date of fair value measurement.

 

  u  

Level 2 - Data different from that from the active market (unadjusted quoted price) included in Level 1, extracted from the pricing model based on observable market data.

 

  u  

Level 3 - Data from a pricing model based on unobservable market data.

Under Law No. 9,991 of July 24, 2000, concessionaires and permittees of public electric energy distribution services must allocate each year, one percent (1%) of their net operating revenue to Research, Development and Energy Efficiency Program, distributed according to the percentages determined by ANEEL.

ANEEL Resolutions No. 316 of May 13, 2008 and No. 300 of February 12, 2008 approved the Manuals of the Research, Development and Energy Efficiency Program, release 2008, which set the guidelines and guidance in the preparation of R&D and EEP projects. The main changes from the new manuals are: the possibility of submission of projects at any time of the year, making the process continuous, the emphasis on the final evaluation of projects, thus increasing the responsibility of the concessionaire for investment application; the adoption of an investment plan and a program management plan, and resources allocated for this, besides the opening of the R&D program for the remaining stages of the innovation cycle (first unit of the series, pioneer lot and insertion in the market).

The subsidiaries COELCE, Ampla Energia, CGTF and CDSA account for expenditures relating to the Research, Development and Energy Efficiency Program on the accrual basis, also amounts are restated by Selic rate through to effective realization.

25. Provision for tax, civil and labor risks--Continued

 

Provisions for probable contingent liabilities--Continued

 

  a) Labor risks

They refer to various labor suits claiming, among others, indemnification for pain and suffering, reinstatement to work, overtime pay, risk exposure additional, severance pay and salary pay differences. In addition, there are suits relating to employees of subcontractors who claim employment relationship with the subsidiaries and equalization with rights of employees of such subsidiaries.

 

  b) Civil risks

These encompass civil lawsuits, including consumer-related matters, in which the subsidiaries are defendants, and a significant portion of the provision is linked to proceedings claiming indemnification for accidents with electricity, compensation for tariff adjustment allegedly illegal and less complex proceedings pending trial by small claims courts.

The remaining provision balance is divided into lawsuits claiming indemnification for damages due to voltage fluctuation in electricity supply, disruption of supply, improper collection of amounts and others in connection with consumer-related matters.

Subsidiary COELCE is a defendant in lawsuits questioning amounts paid by consumers resulting from the increase in electricity tariffs based on DNAEE Administrative Ruling No. 38 and 45 of January 27 and March 4, 1986, respectively during the term of the Cruzado Plan. The provision for losses on these proceedings is included in the balance of the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Over the 2012 fiscal year, the pending lawsuit in which subsidiary Ampla Energia was a party to against Enertrade was settled on a final and unappealable basis, which resulted in the full reversal of the provisions recognised, thus impacting the Company’s consolidated result by R$ 101,851.

PIS/Cofins Violation Notices

On December 21, 2006, the Brazilian IRS issued two violation notices for the collection of PIS and COFINS on interest on equity and other financial income, earned in the 2001-2005 period. At the first administrative level, the violation notices were held partially valid (not valid only in respect to financial interest earned while Law No. 9,718/98 was in force).

Subsidiary Investluz filed an appeal and awaits a decision at the second administrative level. Given the facts and the administrative case law, the Company recognised a provision for the portion of the violation notices considered as involving probable loss (PIS and COFINS on interest on equity received after the effective date of Laws No. 10,637/2002 and No. 10,833/2003, respectively). The amount of the provision recognised as at December 31, 2012 corresponds to R$ 18,147 for COFINS and R$ 8,098 for PIS.

The remaining portion of the violation notices considered as involving possible loss corresponds to R$ 19,066 for COFINS and R$ 2,644 for PIS (financial income earned during the period of effect of Law No. 9,718/98 and after the effective date of Decree 5,164/2004).

Subsidiary COELCE

Subsidiary COELCE concluded the payment of a COFINS installment payment to the IRS in 2000; however the installment payment was originally in 80 installments and the subsidiary made overpayment of six installments. Considering this overpayment, subsidiary COELCE offset this alleged credit against COFINS liabilities. Analysis of the case evidenced that there was a correction of the amount originally stated in the application for tax offset, thus the total amount paid by COELCE (in the 86 installments) corresponded to the rectified debt. Accordingly, IRS understood that the offset made did not apply. The administrative proceeding is still pending trial, in which subsidiary COELCE is basically alleging lack of knowledge of rectification of the declared amount and statute barring of the excess amount resulting from the rectification. However, in view of the facts, subsidiary COELCE considered that it should change the chances of loss to probable and recognize a provision. At December 31, 2012 the amount involved is R$ 2,441.

Subsidiary Ampla Energia

ICMS - Underpayment

The State of Rio de Janeiro filed a tax foreclosure proceeding to collect tax debit due to alleged tax underpayment for the period from February 1999 to September/2000, in the updated amount at December 31, 2012 of R$ 9,241 (R$ 8,361 in 2011). Ampla Energia filed a defense (motion to stay execution) and awaits lower trial court’s judgment.

ICMS – Credit from acquisition of fixed assets

The subsidiary was issued a violation notice levied by the Government to collect debts related to the period from December 1996 to November 1998, on the grounds that the assets acquired as fixed assets were not related to the subsidiary’s end activity. After diligence carried out in 2012, Management decided to recognize a provision equal to 40% of the tax notice, that is, in the updated amount of R$ 4,630 (total notice amount of R$ 11,462) at December 31, 2012.

Subsidiary CDSA

Offset of CSLL and IRPJ debits

In 2005 the Company offset CSLL and IRPJ debits due to annual adjustment for 2000. According to the IRS, the credit right is not sufficient to pay the due amount, since the Company has failed to accurately calculate interest on the payment made in 2001 and to include interest and fines in the offset carried out in 2005.

In its defense, the Company alleged that its credit is sufficient. However, in view of formal errors in the offset procedure, the Company opted for recognizing a provision in the updated amount of R$ 2,578.

Environmental Contingencies

The provision made in the amount of R$ 3,000 refers to the environmental lawsuit filed in 2001 by the Goiás State Office of the Public Prosecutor against the Company, pending trial in the judicial district of Cachoeira Dourada, for alleged damages caused by the installation of the dam where the hydroelectric Power plant of Cachoeira Dourada was built.

Lower trial court’s judgment was rendered in favor of the Company, which was reversed by the Appellate Court, determining conduction of an expert inspection to determine any possible damages. The Company filed a special appeal against the judgment.

Legal advisors, conservatively, recommended recognizing a provision, in view of the case nature and taking into account professional experience in similar cases involving environmental damage with resolution negotiated with the Office of the Public Prosecutor.

Subsidiary CIEN

Tractebel Energia S.A. (“Tractebel”)

Tractebel filed an ordinary action claiming alleged noncompliance, by CIEN, of the “Sale Agreement of 300MW of Firm Power and Associated Energy from Argentina” executed on October 20, 1999, by and between CIEN and Centrais Geradoras do Sul do Brasil S.A. (Gerasul), and Tractebel is its successor. According to this action, Tractebel requests that CIEN be condemned to pay the termination fine in the estimated amount of R$ 117,667, in addition to penalties alleged applicable for non-availability of “firm power and associated energy”, which amounts would be calculated at the stage of liquidation of the award and cannot be currently estimated. Also according to this action, Tractebel ignored the widely acknowledged current crisis in Argentina, which started in 2005, and its effects on said agreement and the ongoing statements made by the applicable Brazilian authorities who released CIEN, and its clients, including Tractebel itself, from any regulatory penalties, since they have recognised that the crisis in Argentina was a factor alien to CIEN’s willingness and beyond its control. CIEN has challenged the action and alleged “force majeure” event preventing the performance of contractual obligations. After successive statements made by the parties, the lawsuit was forwarded to be reviewed by the judge. We wait the start of the stage of production of evidence.

For the first two notices of violation, the subsidiary awaits a second administrative level decision; for the third one it awaits the debit to be registered as an overdue tax liability of the State of Rio de Janeiro so that it may proceed with the discussion at the judicial level, and regarding the fourth notice, it filed an objection in September 2012 and awaits trial.

Regarding the first violation notice, Management, based on the legal opinion of its external lawyers, decided to recognize a provision in the updated amount of R$ 4,630 at December 31, 2012, equal to 40% of the notice amount, since it understands that the probability of loss at this percentage is probable, according to the information on probable risks.

Additionally, subsidiary Ampla Energia filed an action for annulment of ICMS debit arising from the notice of violation for the period from November 1998 to march 1999, issued under the allegation that the subsidiary had not evidenced the amounts of ICMS credits arising from the acquisition of fixed assets, in the updated amount at December 31, 2012 of R$ 15,931 (R$ 14,422 in 2011).

Since the contribution is made by employees, it generates life benefits after 10 years of contribution, pursuant to Law No. 9,656.

- Retirees Law No. 9,656 – the group that exercised the right to remain in the plan, provided that they make contributions at their own expenses, pursuant to Law No. 9,656. The cost is directly collected by Unimed, the plan’s manager, according to the plan rules.

- Special retirees – a closed group of retirees and dependants, partially borne by the company (60%), as a result of negotiations ratified by way of a collective agreement.
