INTRODUCTION

As used in this Report on Form 20-F (the “Report”), 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, 2015.

We are a Chilean company engaged in the electricity generation business in Chile directly and through our subsidiaries and jointly-controlled entities. As of the date of this Report, our direct controlling entity, Enersis Chile S.A. (“Enersis Chile”), beneficially owns 60.0% of our shares. Enel S.p.A. (“Enel”), an Italian energy company with multinational operations in the power and gas markets, beneficially owns 60.6% of Enersis Chile through wholly-owned subsidiaries.

On April 21, 2016, (i) we completed the spin-off of Endesa Américas; (ii) Enersis S.A. completed the spin-off of Enersis Chile; and (iii) Chilectra S.A. completed the spin-off of Chilectra Américas. As a result of these transactions, we continue to own the Chilean assets we owned prior to the spin-off; Chilectra Chile continues to own the Chilean assets it owned prior to the spin-off; and Enersis Chile became the 60.0% beneficial owner of us. The respective spin-offs were effected by means of a division or “demerger” under Chilean law of each of Enersis S.A., Endesa Chile and Chilectra S.A. effective as of March 1, 2016, which created Enersis Chile, Endesa Américas and Chilectra Américas, respectively, and following the “demerger” of Enersis Chile, Enersis S.A. changed its name to Enersis Américas S.A. These “demergers” were followed by the distribution on April 21, 2016 of the shares of Enersis Chile, Endesa Américas and Chilectra Américas and on April 26, 2016 of the ADRs of Enersis Chile and Endesa Américas. We do not hold any remaining interest in Endesa Américas, which holds the non-Chilean assets owned by us prior to the spin-off.

The purpose of the transactions described above is to separate the generation, transmission and distribution businesses in Chile from the generation, transmission and distribution businesses in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Peru.

PRESENTATION OF INFORMATION

Financial Information

In this Report, unless otherwise specified, references to “U.S. dollars” or “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 “€” or “Euros” are to the legal currency of the European Union; and references to “UF” are to Development Units (Unidades de Fomento).

The UF is a Chilean inflation-indexed, peso-denominated monetary unit that is adjusted daily to reflect changes in the official Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) of the Chilean National Institute of Statistics (Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas or “INE”). 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, 2015, one UF was equivalent to Ch$ 25,629.09. The U.S. dollar equivalent of one UF was US$ 36.09 as of December 31, 2015, using the Observed Exchange Rate reported by the Central Bank of Chile (Banco Central de Chile) as of December 31, 2015 of Ch$ 710.16 per US$ 1.00. 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 webpage, is the weighted average exchange rate of the previous business day’s transactions in the Formal Exchange Market.

The Central Bank of Chile may intervene by buying or selling foreign currency on the Formal Exchange Market to maintain the Observed Exchange Rate within a desired range.

As of March 31, 2016, one UF was equivalent to Ch$ 25,812.05. The U.S. dollar equivalent of one UF was US$ 38.54 on March 31, 2016, using the Observed Exchange Rate reported by the Central Bank of Chile as of such date of Ch$ 669.80 per US$ 1.00.

Our consolidated financial statements and, unless otherwise indicated, other financial information concerning us included in this Report are presented in Chilean pesos. We have prepared our consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

All of our subsidiaries are integrated 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. Investments in associated companies over which we exercise significant influence are included in our consolidated financial statements using the equity method. For detailed information regarding consolidated entities, jointly-controlled entities and associated companies, see Appendices 1, 2 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements.

Since the conditions established under IFRS were met by December 31, 2015, in the financial statements included in this Report, all operations regarding the former non-Chilean businesses have been presented as discontinued operations.

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 for December 31, 2015, 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 “TW” are to terawatts; references to “GW” and “GWh” are to gigawatts 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. References to “BTU” and “MBTU” are to British thermal unit and million British thermal units, respectively. A “BTU” is an energy unit equal to approximately 1055 joules. References to “Hz” are to hertz; and references to “mtpa” are to metric tons per annum. Unless otherwise indicated, statistics provided in this Report with respect to the installed capacity of electricity generation facilities are expressed in MW. One TW equals 1,000 GW, one GW equals 1,000 MW and one MW equals 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, 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.

Table of Contents

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 their 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%.

Rounding

Certain figures included in our consolidated financial statements have been rounded for ease of presentation. Percentages expressed in this Report may not have been calculated using rounded figures, but by using amounts prior to rounding. For this reason, percentages expressed in this Report may vary from those obtained by performing the same calculations using figures in our consolidated financial statements. Certain other amounts that appear in the tables in this Report may not total exactly due to rounding.

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 on the Santiago Stock Exchange (Bolsa de Comercio de Santiago), the Chilean Electronic Stock Exchange (Bolsa Electrónica de Chile) and the Valparaíso Stock Exchange (Bolsa de Corredores de Valparaíso). These exchange rate fluctuations affect the price of our American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) and the conversion of cash dividends relating to the common 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 that must be carried out through the Formal Exchange Market.

The U.S. dollar 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, 2015, the U.S. dollar Observed Exchange Rate was Ch$ 710.16 per US$ 1.00.

As of April 28, 2016, the U.S. dollar Observed Exchange Rate was Ch$ 663.40 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 devaluation of the year-end Chilean peso in 2015, one determines the percent change between the reciprocal of Ch$ 606.75, the value of one U.S. dollar as of December 31, 2014, or 0.001648, and the reciprocal of Ch$ 710.16, the value of one U.S. dollar as of December 31, 2015, or 0.001408. In this example, the percentage change between the two periods is negative 14.6%, which represents the 2015 year-end devaluation of the Chilean peso against the 2014 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.

D. Risk Factors.

A financial or other crisis in any region worldwide can have a significant impact in Chile, and consequently, may adversely affect our operations as well as our liquidity.

Chile is vulnerable to external shocks, including financial and political events, which could cause significant economic difficulties and affect its growth. If the Chilean economy experiences lower than expected economic growth or a recession, it is likely that our customers will demand less electricity and that some of our customers may experience difficulties paying their electric bills, possibly increasing our uncollectible accounts. Any of these situations could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Financial and political crises in other parts of the world could also adversely affect our business. For example, instability in the Middle East or in other oil producing regions could result in higher fuel prices worldwide, which in turn could increase the cost of fuel for our thermal generation plants and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, an international financial crisis and its disruptive effects on the financial industry could adversely impact our ability to obtain new bank financings on the same historical terms and conditions. A financial crisis could also diminish our ability to access the Chilean and international capital markets or increase the interest rates available to us. Reduced liquidity could, in turn, adversely affect our capital expenditures, our long-term investments and acquisitions, our growth prospects and our dividend payout policy.

Chilean economic fluctuations as well as certain economic interventionist measures by governmental authorities may affect our results of operations and financial condition as well as the value of our securities.

All of our operations are located in Chile. Accordingly, our consolidated revenues may be affected by the performance of the Chilean economy. If local, regional or worldwide economic trends adversely affect the Chilean economy, our financial condition and results from operations could be adversely affected. Moreover, insufficient cash flows for our subsidiaries could result in their inability to meet debt obligations and the need to seek waivers to comply with restrictive debt covenants.

During 2015, the Chilean economy was affected by (i) the economic uncertainty derived from the global contraction in several commodities markets, such as copper, which has affected the exchange rate evolution and caused the Chilean peso to further depreciate, (ii) several law reforms still under discussion by the Chilean authorities (labor, education, among others), and (iii) the possibility of a reform to the Chilean Constitution.

The Chilean government has exercised in the past, and continues to exercise, a substantial influence over many aspects of the private sector, which may result in changes to economic or other policies. For example, in September 2014, the Chilean government approved the progressive increase of the corporate income tax and a change in the tax system, which may have an additional negative effect upon non-Chilean holders of shares or ADSs. On February 8, 2016, Law 20,899 was enacted, which made adjustments to this tax reform. For further details regarding Chilean tax considerations, please refer to “Item 10. Additional Information — E. Taxation.” Other governmental actions could involve wage, price and tariff rate controls and other interventionist measures, such as expropriation or nationalization.

Future adverse developments in Chile or changes in policies regarding tariffs, exchange controls, regulations and taxation may impair our ability to execute our strategic plans, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Inflation, devaluation, social instability and other political, economic or diplomatic developments, including the response by governments in the region to these circumstances, could also reduce our profitability. In addition, Chilean financial and securities markets are influenced by economic and market conditions in other countries and may be adversely affected by events in other countries, which could adversely affect the value of our securities.

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, transmission assets, pipelines, liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) terminals and re-gasification plants, storage and chartered LNG tankers. Our facilities may be damaged by earthquakes, flooding, fires, and other catastrophic disasters arising from natural or accidental human causes, as well as acts of terrorism. A catastrophic event could cause disruptions in our business, significant decreases in revenues due to lower demand or significant additional costs to us not covered by our business interruption insurance. There may be lags between a major accident or catastrophic event and the final reimbursement from our insurance policies, which typically carry a deductible and are subject to per event policy maximums.

As an example, on February 27, 2010, Chile experienced a major earthquake in the Bío-Bío region, with a magnitude of 8.8 on the Richter scale, followed by a very destructive tsunami. Our Bocamina I and Bocamina II thermal generation units, which are located near the epicenter, sustained significant damage as a result of the earthquake. More recently, on September 16, 2015, Chile experienced an 8.3-magnitude earthquake in the Coquimbo region, followed by a tsunami, though there was no significant damage to any of our power facilities.

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

As of December 31, 2015, our consolidated debt totaled Ch$ 845 billion. Our debt had the following maturity profile:

 

    Ch$ 18 billion in 2016;

 

    Ch$ 16 billion from 2017 to 2018;

 

    Ch$ 15 billion from 2019 to 2020; and

 

    Ch$ 796 billion thereafter.

Some of our debt agreements are subject to (1) financial covenants, (2) affirmative and negative covenants, (3) events of default and (4) mandatory prepayments for contractual breaches, among other provisions. A significant portion of our financial indebtedness is subject to cross default provisions, which have varying definitions, criteria, materiality thresholds and applicability with respect to 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 bondholders may demand immediate repayment, and a significant portion of our or our subsidiaries’ 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 the payments due on our or our subsidiaries’ indebtedness under circumstances that might not be favorable to obtaining the best price for such assets. Furthermore, we may be unable to sell our assets quickly enough, or at sufficiently high prices, to enable us to make such payments.

We may also be unable to raise the necessary 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.

Our inability to finance new projects or capital expenditures or to refinance our existing debt could adversely affect our results of operation and financial condition.

We may be unable to enter into suitable investments, alliances and acquisitions.

On an ongoing basis, we review acquisition prospects that may increase our market coverage or supplement our existing businesses, though there can be no assurance that we will be able to identify and consummate suitable acquisition transactions in the future. The acquisition and integration of independent 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, amortization expenses related to tangible assets and the diversion of 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.

Because our generation business depends heavily on hydrological conditions, droughts and climate change may adversely affect our operations and profitability.

Approximately 55% of our consolidated installed generation capacity in 2015 was hydroelectric. Accordingly, extreme hydrological conditions and climate change could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. In the last few years, our results were affected due to the fact that hydrological conditions in Chile have been below the historical average.

In addition, the below-average hydrological conditions not only reduced our ability to operate our hydroelectric plants at full capacity, but also resulted in increased water transportation costs for the operation of the San Isidro thermal power plant for cooling purposes. While we have entered into certain agreements with the Chilean government and local farmers regarding the use of water for hydroelectric generation purposes, especially during periods of low water levels, if drought conditions persist or become worse, we may face increased pressure by the Chilean government or other third parties to further restrict our water use (for further details regarding water agreements, please refer to “Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—Operations— Water Agreements”).

Droughts also affect the operation of our thermal plants, including our facilities that use natural gas, fuel oil or coal as fuel, in the following manner:

 

    During drought periods, thermal plants are used more frequently. Thermal plant operating costs can be considerably higher than those of hydroelectric plants. Our operating expenses could increase during these periods. In addition depending on our commercial obligations, we may need to buy electricity at spot prices in order to comply with our contractual supply obligations and the cost of these electricity purchases may exceed our contracted electricity sale prices, thus potentially producing losses from those contracts. For further information with respect to the effect of hydrology on our business and financial results, 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—a. Hydrological Conditions.”

 

    Our thermal plants require water for cooling and droughts not only reduce the availability of water, but also increase the concentration of chemicals, such as sulfates in the water. The high concentration of chemicals in the water we use for cooling increases the risk of damaging the equipment at our thermal plants as well as the risk of violating environmental regulations. As a result, we have had to purchase water from agricultural areas that are also experiencing shortages of water. These water purchases may increase our operating costs and also require us to further negotiate with the local communities.

 

    Thermal power plants burning natural gas generate emissions such as sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxide (NO) gases. When operating with diesel, they also release particulate matter into the atmosphere. Coal fired plants generate emissions of SO2 and NO. Therefore, greater use of thermal plants during periods of drought increases the risk of producing a higher level of pollutants.

In addition, according to certain weather forecast models, the drought that is affecting the regions where most of our hydroelectric plants are located may last for an extended period and may recur in the future. A prolonged drought may exacerbate the risks described above and have a further adverse effect upon our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Governmental regulations may adversely affect our business.

We are subject to extensive regulation on the tariffs we charge to our customers and on other aspects of our business, and these regulations may adversely affect our profitability. For example, the Chilean government can impose electricity rationing during droughts or prolonged failures of power facilities. During rationing, if we are unable to generate enough electricity to comply with our contractual obligations, we may be forced to buy electricity at the spot price, as even a severe drought does not release us from our contractual obligations as 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 Chilean National Energy Commission (Comisión Nacional de Energía or “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 at the spot price to comply with our contractual obligations, we would have to compensate our regulated customers for the electricity we failed to provide at the rationed price. Rationing periods have occurred in the past and may occur in the future. Our generation subsidiaries may be required to pay regulatory penalties if they fail to provide adequate service under their contractual obligations. Material rationing policies imposed by Chilean regulatory authorities could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Electricity regulations issued by governmental authorities in Chile may affect the ability of our generation companies to collect revenues sufficient to offset their operating costs.

Table of Contents

The inability of any company in our consolidated group to collect revenues sufficient to cover operating costs may affect the ability of that company to operate as a going concern and may otherwise have an adverse effect on our business, financial results and operations.

In addition, changes in the regulatory framework are often submitted to the legislators and administrative authorities and, some of these changes could have a material adverse impact on our business and affect our results. For instance, in 2005 there was a change in the water rights’ law in Chile that requires us to pay for unused water rights. In addition, the Chilean government is initiating a review of the current energy policies through an energy agenda presented in May 2014 and complemented in December 2015. This strategy aims to improve electricity service for the impoverished, to have 70% of national generation electricity from non-conventional renewable energy (“NCRE”) and to have 100% of new construction with energy control systems and smart energy management by 2050. However external factors, primarily commodity prices, lower local energy prices and restrictions in the transmission system, have hindered the development of NCRE projects and some unrelated companies have disposed contracts that were awarded in the last two distribution companies’ tenders. Meanwhile, Celta recorded an impairment loss of Ch$ 2.5 billion as of December 31, 2015 related to the 200 MW capacity wind project, Waiwen, since we determined that the project’s profitability is uncertain under current conditions. As a consequence, the project was abandoned.

These changes could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our business and profitability could be adversely affected if water rights are denied or if water concessions are granted with limited duration.

Approximately 55% of our installed capacity is hydroelectric. We own water rights granted by the Chilean Water Authority (Dirección General de Aguas or “DGA”) for the supply of water from rivers and lakes near our production facilities. Under current law, these water rights are (i) for unlimited duration, (ii) absolute and unconditional property rights and (iii) not subject to further challenge. Chilean generation companies must pay an annual license fee for unused water rights. New hydroelectric facilities are required to obtain water rights, the conditions of which may impact design, timing or profitability of a project.

In addition, the Chilean Congress is currently discussing amendments to the Water Code in order to prioritize the use of water by defining its access as a human right that must be guaranteed by the State. The amendment will establish that water use for human consumption, domestic subsistence and sanitation will always take precedence, in both the granting and limiting the exercise of rights of exploitation. Under the proposal: (i) water use concessions would be limited to 30 years, which would be extendable with respect to water rights actually used during the 30-year period, unless the Chilean Water Authority demonstrates the water rights have not been used effectively; (ii) new non-consumptive water rights would expire if the holder does not exercise the rights within eight years; (iii) existing non-consumptive water rights which have not been used would expire within eight years from the date of enactment of the new Water Code; and (iv) late in 2015, a new requirement regarding the preservation of water flow to protect ecology for existing and future water rights was added for both consumptive and non-consumptive water use, which would reduce water availability for generation purposes. Any limitations on our current water rights, our need for additional water rights, or our current unlimited duration of water concessions could have a material adverse effect on our hydroelectric development projects and our profitability.

Any limitations on our current water rights, our need for additional water rights, or our current unlimited duration of water concessions could have a material adverse effect on our hydroelectric development projects and our profitability.

Regulatory authorities may impose fines on our subsidiaries, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Our electricity businesses may be subject to regulatory fines for any breach of current regulations, including energy supply failures. In Chile, such fines may be imposed for a maximum of 10,000 Annual Tax Units (“UTA” in its Spanish acronym), or Ch$ 5.4 billion using the UTA as of December 31, 2015. Our electricity generation subsidiaries are supervised by local regulatory entities and may be subject to these fines in cases where, in the opinion of the regulatory entity, operational failures affecting the regular energy supply to the system are the fault of the company such as when agents are not coordinated with the system operator. In addition, our subsidiaries may be required to pay fines or compensate customers if those subsidiaries are unable to deliver electricity, even if such failure is due to forces outside of the subsidiaries’ control.

For example, in August 2014, the Chilean Superintendence of Environment (“SMA” in its Spanish acronym) fined us 8,640 UTAs (approximately Ch$ 4.5 billion) for alleged environmental violations related to the Bocamina II power plant. For further information on fines, please refer to Note 37 of the Notes to our financial statements.

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. The ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends, interest payments, loans and other distributions to us is subject to legal constraints such as dividend restrictions, fiduciary duties, and contractual limitations that may be imposed by local authorities.

Historically, we have been able to access the cash flows of our subsidiaries, but future economic and political uncertainties, such as government regulations, economic conditions and credit restrictions, could affect our future results from operations, and therefore we may not be able to rely on cash flows from operations in those entities to repay our debt.

Dividend Limits and Other Legal Restrictions. The ability of any of our subsidiaries that are not wholly-owned to distribute cash to us may be limited by the directors’ fiduciary duties of such subsidiaries to their minority shareholders. Furthermore, some of our subsidiaries may be forced by law, in accordance with applicable regulation, to diminish or eliminate dividend payments. As a consequence of such restrictions, our subsidiaries could, under certain circumstances, be impeded from distributing cash to us.

Contractual Constraints. Distribution restrictions included in certain credit agreements of our subsidiaries may prevent dividends and other distributions to shareholders if they are not in compliance with certain financial ratios. Generally, our credit agreements prohibit any type of distribution if there is an ongoing default.

Operating Results of Our Subsidiaries. The ability of our subsidiaries 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 of any of our subsidiaries exceed their available cash, the subsidiary will not be able to make cash available to us.

Any of the situations described above could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

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

The Chilean peso has been subject to 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. Although a substantial portion of our operating cash flows is linked to U.S. dollars, we generally have been and will continue to be materially exposed to fluctuations of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar because of time lags and other limitations to peg our tariffs to the U.S. dollar.

A substantial portion of our operating cash flows is linked to U.S. dollars, and we seek to maintain debt in the same currency, but due to market conditions it may not be possible to do so. Because of this exposure, the cash generated by our subsidiaries can decrease substantially due to devaluations against the U.S. dollar. Future volatility in the exchange rate of the currency in which we receive revenues or incur expenditures may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

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. We will continue to be subject to future litigation proceedings, which could cause material adverse consequences to our business.

Our financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected if we are unsuccessful in defending lawsuits and proceedings against us. For further information on litigation proceedings, please see Note 36.3 of the Notes to our consolidated financial statements.

The values of our generation business’s subsidiaries’ long-term energy supply contracts are subject to fluctuations in the market prices of certain commodities and other factors.

We have economic exposure to fluctuations in the market prices of certain commodities as a result of the long-term energy sales contracts into which we have entered. 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, the exchange rate, inflation, and the market price of electricity. Adverse changes to these indices would reduce the rates we charge under our long-term fixed-price electricity sales contracts, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our controlling shareholder may exert a substantial influence over us and may have a different strategic view for our development than that of our minority shareholders.

Enel beneficially owns 60.6% of Enersis Chile’s share capital and Enersis Chile owns 60.0% of our outstanding capital stock. Enel, our ultimate controlling shareholder, has the power to determine the outcome of substantially all material matters that require shareholder votes, such as the election of the majority of our board members and, subject to contractual and legal restrictions, our dividend policy. Enel also exercises decisive influence over our business strategy and operations. Its interests may in some cases differ from those of our minority shareholders. For example, Enel conducts its business operations in the field of renewable energies in Chile through Enel Green Power S.p.A., in which we do not have an equity interest. Any present or future conflict of interest affecting Enel may be resolved against our best interests in these matters. As a consequence, our growth may be potentially limited, and our business and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Environmental regulations and other factors may cause delays, impede the development of new projects or 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. The approval of these environmental impact studies may take longer than planned and may be withheld by governmental authorities. Local communities and ethnic and environmental activists, among others, may intervene in the approval process to delay or prevent a project’s development. They may also seek injunctive or other relief, which could negatively impact us if they are successful.

Environmental regulations for existing and future generation capacity may become stricter, requiring increased capital investments. For example, Decree 13 of the Chilean Ministry of the Environment, which was promulgated in January 2011 and published in June 2011, defined stricter emission standards for thermoelectric plants that must be met between 2014 and 2016 and stricter standards for new facilities or additional capacity. This regulation also requires the establishment of a system of continuous emission monitoring, pursuant to which thermoelectric plants must implement a monitoring system in accordance with the guidelines and protocols issued by the Chilean Superintendence of the Environment. Failure to certify the implementation of such monitoring system may result in penalties and sanctions. In September 2014, the Chilean government enacted Law 20,780 (a tax reform law), which established an annual tax on stationary power generators, such as thermal generators, tied to their emission of pollutants for the previous year. When this provision of the law enters into force in 2018, it will apply to generators with a capacity of at least 50 MW.

In compliance with these Chilean environmental regulations, all thermal plants are expected to incur in incremental investments so as to comply with the new regulations by installing abatement systems to control pollutant emissions. Any delay in the filing may constitute a violation of the regulations which established emission limits effective on June 23, 2015 or June 23, 2016 depending on the plant’s location.

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, civil unrest, accidents, or other unforeseen events. Any such event could adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition.

For example, considering the likely rejection of the Environmental Impact Study of the Neltume project, we have redesigned the discharge to the lake. As a result of the redesign, we recorded a write-off of Ch$ 2.7 billion in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015. The original Environmental Impact Study has been withdrawn and there are studies underway to file it again. This is not related to the transmission line project, which is continuing as planned.

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, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

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

The amount of time necessary to obtain an environmental qualification resolution for electricity generation or transmission projects in Chile has materially increased, primarily due to judicial decisions against such projects, environmental opposition, social criticism and government delays. This can cast doubt on the ability of a project to obtain such approval and increase the uncertainty for investing in electricity generation and transmission projects in Chile. The 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 supply constraints over the next five or six years. If any plant within the system ceases operation unexpectedly, we could experience supply shortages in our system, which could lead to power cuts. Any such event could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our power plant projects may encounter significant opposition from different groups that may delay their development, increase costs, damage our reputation and potentially result in impairment of our goodwill with stakeholders.

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 that could negatively impact sentiments toward us, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

The development of new and existing power plants may face opposition from several stakeholders, such as ethnic groups, environmental groups, land owners, farmers, local communities and political parties, among others, all of which may impact the sponsoring company’s reputation and goodwill. For example, since December 2013, the Bocamina II power plant has encountered substantial opposition from local fishermen’s unions that claim that our facility negatively affects marine life and causes pollution, which resulted in the interruption of the operation of the power plant for more than a year. On July 1, 2015, the Bocamina II power plant resumed operations, after the approval of a new RCA in April 2015. Also, between November 23, 2015 and January 7, 2016, a new group of fishermen illegally occupied the first high-tension pylon which supports the 154 kV and 220 kV circuits owned by Transelec S.A. and serve the Bocamina I and II power plants. As a consequence, both Bocamina I and II power plants were temporarily shut down. This group claimed that they should receive the same package of benefits that we granted to the rest of fishermen in the zone. The financial effects of this illegal occupation and electricity transmission interruption amounted to US$ 3.8 million (Ch$ 2.7 billion using the 2015 year end exchange rate) of contribution margin loss between November 23, 2015 and January 7, 2016. At the level of the electrical system, this situation impacts the rising global costs of supplying demand, increasing spot prices and the anticipated use of hydroelectric reserves, which in the coming months will not be available. Such groups and other similar groups may have the ability to block our power plants and directly affect our results.

Damage to our reputation may exert considerable pressure on regulators, creditors, and other stakeholders and ultimately lead to projects and operations that may not be optimal, causing our share prices to drop and hindering our ability to attract or retain valuable employees, all of which could result in an impairment of our goodwill with stakeholders.

We may be exposed to asbestos liability and additional expense related to asbestos.

Several of our facilities have asbestos present in them. In April 2015, we completed the removal of the identifiable asbestos from the Bocamina I power plant. However, some Akeron Caf employees, working for the contractor removing asbestos in the power plant, reported to the regional Health Ministerial Office (“Seremi” in its Spanish acronym) that their health had been affected subsequently. According to Chilean regulations, any company that removes asbestos must present a work plan, which must be approved by the Seremi and supervised by the Workers Safety Association (Mutual de Seguridad) to avoid workers being contaminated with asbestos. After an investigation, in September 2015, the Seremi of the Bio-Bío region fined us for Ch$ 22 million because we did not meet the necessary requirements for the removal of asbestos. We appealed the decision, which is still pending. In addition, we are implementing asbestos removal plans in the Tarapacá, Huasco and Ralco power plants, which processes could also be affected by similar problems.

We may have to incur additional costs to remediate and implement our asbestos control and sanitation policy, or be subject to legal actions against us, which in turn may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operation and financial condition.

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

A large percentage of our employees are members of unions and have collective bargaining agreements that must 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 we view as unfavorable. Chilean law provides legal mechanisms for judicial authorities to impose a collective agreement if the parties are unable to come to an agreement, which may increase our costs beyond what we have budgeted.

In addition, we employ many highly-specialized employees, and certain actions such as strikes, walk-outs or work stoppages by these employees, could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition as well as our reputation.

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

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

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. Temporary or long-lasting operational failures of any of these IT Systems could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Additionally, cyber attacks can have an adverse effect on the company’s image and its relationship with the community.

In the last few years, global cyber attacks on security systems, treasury operations, 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-theft of proprietary and confidential information, including information of our customers. During 2014, we suffered two cyber attacks perpetrated by a cyber-terrorist group, which impacted our websites. In one case, the attack resulted in a service interruption of 90 minutes. Further cyber attacks may occur and may affect us in the future.

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. Currently, the construction of new transmission lines is taking longer than in the past, mainly because of new social and environmental requirements that are creating uncertainty about the probability of completing the projects. In addition, the increase of new NCRE projects is congesting the current transmission system as these projects can be built relatively quickly, while new transmission projects may take longer to be built. In May 2014, the Chilean government announced the Energy Agenda, a plan established to create and execute a long-term energy policy, which includes amendments to the legal framework of the electricity transmission systems, mainly the interconnection between the Chilean Central Interconnected System (“SIC” in its Spanish acronym) and the Northern Interconnected System (“SING” in its Spanish acronym).

On September 24, 2011, nearly 10 million people located in central Chile experienced a blackout (affecting more than half of the Chilean population), due to the failure of Transelec’s 220 kV Ancoa substation. The failure led to the disruption of two 500 kV transmission lines in the SIC and the subsequent failure of the remote recovery computer software used by the independent entity that coordinates generators, transmission companies and large customers (“CDEC” in its Spanish acronym) to operate the grid. This blackout, which lasted two hours, exposed weaknesses in the transmission grid and its need for expansion and technological improvements to increase the reliability of the transmission grid.

Any such disruption or failure of transmission facilities could interrupt our business, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

The relative liquidity 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. Also, the liquidity and the market for our shares or ADSs may be affected by a number of factors including variations in exchange and interest rates, the deterioration and volatility of the markets for similar securities and any changes in our liquidity, financial condition, creditworthiness, results and profitability.

Our historical performance may not be representative of our performance after the Spin-Off.

Our historical performance might have been different if we had been a separate entity during the periods presented in our financial statements. The historical financial information included in this Report is not necessarily indicative of what our results of operations, financial position and cash flows will be in the future. There may be changes that will occur in our cost structure, funding and operations as a result of the separation of Endesa Américas from us, including increased costs associated with reduced economies of scale.

Lawsuits against us brought outside Chile or complaints against us based on foreign legal concepts may be unsuccessful.

All of our assets are located outside of the United States. All of our directors and officers reside outside of the United States and most of their assets are located outside the United States as well. If any investor 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.

Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. is a publicly held limited liability stock corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Chile on December 1, 1943. Since 1943, we have been registered in Santiago with the SVS under Registration No. 0114. The Company is legally referred to by its full name as well as by the abbreviated name “Endesa Chile.” In Chile, it is also known as “Endesa,” a term that is avoided in this Report because of potential ambiguity when referring to Endesa, S.A., a related company in Spain. We are also registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission under the commission file number 001-13240.

Our contact information in Chile is:

 

Street Address:      Santa Rosa 76, Santiago, Código Postal 8330099, Chile
Telephone:      (56-2) 2353-4639
Web site:      www.endesa.cl

We are an electricity utility company engaged, directly and through our subsidiaries and affiliates, in the generation businesses in Chile.

Since June 2009, Enel S.p.A. (“Enel”) has been our ultimate parent company. Enel is an international energy company operating worldwide in the power and gas markets, with a particular focus on Europe and Latin America. Enel operates in 32 countries, across four continents, with over 95 GW of net installed capacity and distributes electricity and gas through a network covering approximately 1.9 million km. Enel has 61 million customers worldwide.

On April 22, 2014, we acquired an additional 50% interest of Inversiones GasAtacama Holding Ltda. (“GasAtacama Holding”), which had been held by Southern Cross Latin America Private Equity Fund III, L.P since 2007 for US$ 309 million (approximately Ch$ 174 billion). In turn, GasAtacama Holding is the parent company of GasAtacama S.A. (“GasAtacama”), which is a generation company located in the northern region of Chile, and has a 780 MW, four-unit combined-cycle power plant. It also owns a pipeline that allows the import of gas from Argentina. GasAtacama Holding and GasAtacama have been consolidated since May 1, 2014. Before this transaction, we held a 48.1% interest in GasAtacama Holding and as a result these companies were recognized as jointly-controlled companies.

On January 9, 2015, we and Central Eléctrica de Tarapacá S.A. (“Celta”) sold 100% of the shares that were jointly held in Sociedad Concesionaria Túnel El Melón S.A. to Independencia S.A., a Chilean private fund. The transaction was valued at Ch$ 25 billion. The sale was part of the disposal of non-strategic assets that we have undertaken in the past few years.

In the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting (“ESM”) held on December 18, 2015, our shareholders agreed to carry out a spin-off in order to separate the Chilean activities from those in other Latin American countries (Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Peru). Since March 1, 2016, the new company, Endesa Américas S.A. (“Endesa Américas”) was established as a separate company and was assigned the equity interests, assets and associated liabilities of our businesses outside of Chile and we, the continuing company, only

hold the Chilean businesses and assets. On April 21, 2016, we distributed to our shareholders shares of Endesa Américas in proportion to their share ownership in our Company based on a ratio of one share of Endesa Américas for each of our outstanding share.

Each of Enersis S.A. and Chilectra S.A. also conducted a demerger to separate Enersis S.A. and Chilectra S.A. into two companies. As part of the demerger, Enersis Chile S.A. and Chilectra Américas S.A. were formed on March 1, 2016 to hold the Chilean businesses of Enersis S.A. and the non-Chilean businesses of Chilectra, respectively. Enersis S.A., which changed its name to Enersis Américas S.A., and Chilectra S.A. (now referred to as Chilectra Chile) each continue to hold the non-Chilean businesses of Enersis S.A. and Chilean businesses of Chilectra, respectively.

Enersis Chile owns 60.0% of our Company and is the 99.1% owner of Chilectra Chile. Our and Chilectra’s Chile minority shareholders received their respective percentage interests in Endesa Américas and Chilectra Américas, respectively, based on a pro rata distribution of the spin-off company shares.

As of December 31, 2015, we had 6,351 MW of installed capacity, with 111 generation units, consolidated assets of Ch$ 3,389 billion and operating revenues of Ch$ 1,544 billion.

Capital Investments, Capital Expenditures and Divestitures

We coordinate our overall financing strategy, including the terms and conditions of loans and intercompany advances entered into by our subsidiaries in order to optimize debt and liquidity management. Generally, our operating subsidiaries independently plan capital expenditures financed by internally generated funds or direct financings. Although we have considered how these investments will be financed as part of our 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 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 additional hydroelectric and thermal capacity to guarantee adequate levels of reliable supply while remaining focused on the environment.

For the 2016-2020 period, we expect to make capital expenditures of Ch$ 864 billion, related to investments currently in progress, maintenance of existing generation plants 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, Plant and Equipment— Projects Under Development.”

The table below sets forth the expected capital expenditures for the 2016-2020 period and the capital expenditures incurred in 2015, 2014 and 2013:

(1) Capex amounts represent effective payments for each year, except for future projections.

Capital Expenditures for 2015, 2014 and 2013

Our capital expenditures in the last three years were related principally to the 350 MW Bocamina II power plant and the 150 MW Los Cóndores power plant. Bocamina II began commercial operations in October 2012. Subsequently, Bocamina II suspended operations in December 2013 due to environmental injunctions and reassumed operations in July 2015. Los Cóndores is a hydroelectric project, which began construction in 2014 with completion expected in 2018.

Investments currently in progress

Our material plans in progress include the 150 MW Los Cóndores project described above. A portion of our capital expenditures are reserved for the maintenance of existing installed capacity to increase the quality and operation standards of our facilities.

Projects in progress will be financed with resources provided by external financing as well as internally generated funds.

B. Business Overview.

We are a publicly held limited liability stock corporation with operations in Chile. Our core business is the electricity generation. We also participate in other activities which are not part of our core business. Since these non-core activities represent less than 1% of our 2015 revenues, we do not report them as separate business in this Report or in our consolidated financial statements.

The table below presents our revenues by operating segment:

For further financial information related to operating segments, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — A. Operating Results” and Note 33 of the Notes to our consolidated financial statements.

We own and operate 111 generation units in Chile with an aggregate installed capacity of 6,351 MW as of both December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Our consolidated electricity sales in 2015 were 23,558 GWh and our production was 18,294 GWh, an 11.4% increase and a 1.3% increase, respectively, compared to 2014.

As of December 31, 2015, we accounted for 32% of Chile’s total generation capacity, measured by the installed capacity published by CDEC-SIC. Hydroelectric installed capacity represents 54.6% of our total installed capacity in Chile, thermoelectric represents 44.2% and wind power represents 1.2%. The CDEC manages Chile’s electricity distribution. See “Item 4. Information on the Company — B. Business Overview — Electricity Industry and Regulatory Framework.”

For additional detail on our historical capacity see “Item 4. Information on the Company — D. Property, Plant and Equipment.”

The following tables summarize the information relating to our electricity generation:

(3) Total installed capacity is defined as the maximum capacity (MW), under specific technical conditions and characteristics. In most cases, installed capacity is confirmed by satisfaction guarantee tests performed by equipment suppliers. Figures may differ from installed capacity declared to governmental authorities and customers, according to criteria defined by such authorities and relevant contracts.

In the electricity industry, it is common to segment the business into hydroelectric and thermoelectric generation because each type of generation has significantly different variable costs. Thermoelectric generation requires the purchase of fuel, which leads to a high variable costs compared with hydro generation from reservoirs or rivers that have no marginal costs. Of our total consolidated generation in 2015, 64.7% was from hydroelectric sources, 34.5% was from thermal sources, and less than 1% was from wind energy, which is generated by the Canela I and Canela II wind farms, which are subsidiaries of Celta.

The potential for contracting electricity is generally related to electricity demand. Customers identified as small volume regulated customers, including residential customers, are subject to government regulated electricity tariffs and 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 energy price 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 our consolidated sales of electricity by type of customer for each of the periods indicated:

Specific energy consumption limits (measured in GWh) for regulated and unregulated customers are established. 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 involves an increase of the total fuel cost and the costs of its transportation 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, which requires us to purchase electricity in the pool market at spot prices in order to satisfy our contractual commitments. The cost of these purchases at spot prices

may, under certain circumstances, exceed the price at which we sell electricity under contracts and, therefore, may result in a loss. We attempt to minimize the effect of poor hydrological conditions on our operations in any year by limiting our contractual sales requirements to a quantity that does not exceed the estimated production in a dry year. To determine an estimated production in a dry year, we take into consideration the available statistical information concerning rainfall, hydrological levels, and the capacity of key reservoirs. In addition to limiting contracted sales, we may adopt other strategies including 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 customers.

Seasonality

While our core business is subject to weather patterns, generally only extreme events such as prolonged droughts, which may adversely affect our generation capacity, rather than seasonal weather variations, may materially affect our operating results and financial condition.

The generation business is affected by seasonal changes throughout the year. During normal hydrological years, snow melts typically occur during the warmer months of October through March. These snow melts increase the level in our reservoirs. The months with most precipitation are typically May through August.

When there is more precipitation hydroelectric generating facilities can accumulate additional water to be used for generation. The increased level of our reservoirs allows us to generate more electricity with hydro power plants during months in which marginal electricity costs are lower.

In general, hydrological conditions such as droughts and insufficient rainfall adversely affect our generation capacity. For example, severe prolonged drought conditions or reduced rainfall levels in Chile caused by El Niño phenomenon reduces the amount of water that can be accumulated in reservoirs, thereby curtailing our hydroelectric generation capacity. In order to mitigate hydrological risk, hydroelectric generation may be substituted with thermal generation (natural gas, LNG, coal or diesel) and energy purchases on the spot market, both of which could result in higher costs, in order to meet our obligations under contracts with both regulated and unregulated customers.

Operations

We own and operate a total of 111 generation units in Chile both directly and through our subsidiaries, Pehuenche, Celta and GasAtacama. Of these generation units, 38 are hydroelectric, with a total installed capacity of 3,465 MW. This represents 54.6% of our total installed capacity in Chile. There are 22 thermal generation units that operate with gas, coal or oil with a total installed capacity of 2,808 MW, representing 44.2% of our total installed capacity in Chile. There are 51 wind powered generation units with an aggregate installed capacity of 78 MW, representing 1.2% of our total installed capacity in Chile. All of our generation units are connected to SIC, except for two of Celta’s thermoelectric generation units and six of GasAtacama’s thermoelectric generation units which are connected to the Northern Interconnected System (“SING” in its Spanish acronym) in northern Chile.

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

Our total electricity generation in Chile (including the SIC and the SING) accounted for 26.2% of total gross electricity production in Chile during 2015.

Water Agreements

Water agreements refer to the right of a user to use water from a water source, such as a river, stream, pond or groundwater. In times of good hydrological conditions, water agreements are generally not complicated or contentious. However, in times of poor hydrological conditions, water agreements protect our ability to use water resources for hydroelectric generation.

We have two agreements in force with the purpose of utilizing water for both irrigation and hydroelectric generation more efficiently.

These agreements between us and the Chilean Water Works Authority (“DOH” in its Spanish acronym) are related to the water consumption during the most intense irrigation period (normally from September to April) from Laja Lake and Maule Lagoon, both located in southern Chile. We signed the first agreements with the DOH with respect to Laja Lake and Maule Lagoon on October 24, 1958 and September 9, 1947, respectively. Both basins have been severely impacted by drought conditions and high consumption over the past several years. As a result, during recent years, the Company and the DOH signed supplementary agreements that apply for special irrigation periods depending on hydrological conditions. For example, on December 9, 2015, the parties agreed on the terms for the 2015-2016 irrigation period for Laja Lake (the “Laja Agreement”) and on December 29, 2015 the parties entered into a similar agreement with respect to Maule Lagoon (the “Maule Agreement”, and together with the Laja Agreement, the “Water Agreements”). The Water Agreements: (i) preserve the level of water of the reservoirs, assuring its availability for the future and (ii) satisfy the requirements for both agricultural and hydroelectric generation usage.

Table of Contents

According to the terms of the Laja Agreement, users are allowed to draw a fixed volume from the lake, excluding filtrations, between December 1, 2015 and November 30, 2016, for both irrigation and hydroelectric generation purposes, as follows: (i) 300 million cubic meters (“mcm”) for irrigation; (ii) 300 mcm for electricity generation, and (iii) 100 mcm unrestricted use for us, unless the agriculture sector has a need during the months of February, March and April, with the approval of the DOH. We are also entitled to draw a “variable” volume of a maximum of 200 mcm of water, to be executed in four installments, with a maximum of 50 mcm for each installment, depending of the level of the reservoir. Additionally, if by April 30, 2016, the amount allocated for irrigation purposes has not been completely used, the Laja Agreement entitles us to draw the remaining part of the unused volume of water.

According to the terms of the Maule Agreement, usage rights of water depend on the level of the reservoir. During the 2010-2014 period, a severe drought resulted in the reservoir reaching critically low levels and part of the irrigation usage rights being reduced. The Maule Agreement was signed in order to give us the flexibility to draw water during off-season periods, when electricity spot prices are lower, and at the same time avoiding potential conflicts with local farmers, preventing riots, roadblocks, and future litigation. Pursuant to the Maule Agreement, irrigation usage must occur during specific periods, based on the forecasted thaw conditions published by CDEC-SIC and the DOH, and the Maule River Watch Committee (“JVRM” in its Spanish acronym), to prevent water deficits. We may partially or totally cover the irrigation deficits from the Maule Lagoon with water from the Invernada Lagoon (part of the Maule River system), replacing the required irrigation draws from Maule Lagoon. The decision over the use of the Invernada Lagoon would be at our discretion depending on its electricity generation calendar.

We have the ability to draw a specified amount of water for irrigation at a specific time from Invernada Lagoon, which is our property, instead of water from Maule Lagoon, which is owned by the Chilean government. In exchange, for each cubic meter of Invernada Lagoon water drawn for irrigation, we will receive an extra 0.82 cubic meters of water when the Maule Lagoon level is at medium level and an extra 1 cubic meter of water when the Maule Lagoon level is at high level. During the medium level scenario, the remaining unused volume (0.18 cubic meters of water), will be stored at Maule Lagoon, increasing the reserves of the reservoir, and will be accessible in the following season according to the rights granted to all the parties to the Maule Agreement. The decision as to when and how much to use the extra water volume is solely at our discretion, and cannot exceed 30 cubic meters of water per second per month. The Maule Agreement expires on August 1, 2018, and a new agreement will be entered into based on the conditions of the Maule River system at that time.

Both Water Agreements will allow the two reservoirs to recover their accumulated water levels and to preserve water use for future years. From our point of view, these agreements allow us to use the water more efficiently, primarily in Maule Lagoon, and to avoid further litigation with the local community, especially with farmers.

Thermal Generation

Our thermal electric generation facilities use LNG, coal and to a lesser extent, diesel. This allows us to use other fuels if the price of LNG is too high, if there is a shortage of supply, or if there is another circumstance that makes LNG unavailable. In order to satisfy our natural gas and transportation requirements, we signed long-term gas contracts with suppliers that establish maximum supply amounts and prices, as well as long-term gas transportation agreements with the pipeline companies. We currently use Gas Andes (an unaffiliated entity) and Electrogas (our associate) as our suppliers. Since March 2008, all of our natural gas units operate using natural gas or diesel and since December 2009, San Isidro, San Isidro 2 and Quintero operate using LNG.

Our contract for LNG is the largest supply contract and it is based on long-term agreements with Quintero LNG Terminal (“GNLQ”) for regasification services and British Gas for supply. In July 2013, we renegotiated our LNG Sale and Purchase Agreement with British Gas and modified some conditions of the original contract. Our current LNG Sale and Purchase Agreement with British Gas runs through 2030 and is indexed to the Henry Hub/Brent commodity prices. The Company receives 29.7 TBtu of gas annually, and the contract provides the flexibility to purchase between 23.6 TBtu and 24.6 TBtu additionally, if needed. There are contingencies in the contract that would allow cancellations (for a fee), and deviations, under certain conditions. We are not dependent on any one particular source of LNG, as long as the LNG meets the contracted specifications.

Our Terminal Use Agreement, through GNLQ, is the most relevant for our LNG supply and is sufficient to meet its current needs. This contract runs through 2035, has a fixed pricing structure of 10% return on assets plus a marketing fee and allows us, through GNL Chile, to access additional supply from the spot market, if needed.

These contracts allow us to secure its long-term LNG supply at competitive prices, with significant flexibility and the addition of new capacity sufficient for its current and potential needs.

We also exercised a priority right to purchase additional regasification capacity as part of an expansion of GNLQ. This has allowed us to increase its regasification capacity from 3.2 million cubic meters per day to 5.4 million cubic meters per day as of the date of this Report. This additional capacity will allow our San Isidro and Quintero facilities to provide additional thermal generation, to secure the regasification for future power plants, as well as develop new businesses, such as the tolling agreement signed with Gener during 2015, which has allowed us to utilize LNG in Gener’s Nueva Renca combined-cycle power plant to generate electricity.

We also contracted capacity in the LNG truck loading facility (“TLF”) in GNLQ, which has allowed it to sell natural gas to industrial customers. In August 2014, the first load of LNG was successfully delivered to MAERSK’s satellite regasification facility, first industrial customer of the Company. During 2014, a 20-year sale and purchase agreement was signed with GasValpo (a gas distribution company) to distribute natural gas using the TLF for new customers in various cities in Chile. The first stage began operations in August 2015, to supply the city of Talca (270 km south of Santiago). Additionally, during November 2015, the TLF was used to supply the cities of Coquimbo and La Serena and during December 2015, to supply the city of Los Andes. Other plants are currently in advanced construction and will start to operate during first quarter of 2016.

In January 2015, an agreement with Intergas (a gas distribution company) was signed to supply LNG by trucks to the city of Temuco (700 km south of Santiago). This supply arrangement is expected to start during May 2016

During 2015, 723 kilotons of coal were consumed by the Tarapacá and Bocamina power plants. Between January and September 2015, four loads of coal were received by the Tarapacá power plant (206 kilotons total), which had been deferred according to the terms of the Coal Sale and Purchase Agreement we entered into in September 2013 with Endesa Generación S.A., a Spanish subsidiary of Enel, to supply the Bocamina I and II units, which were stopped for 8 and 18 months respectively, until July 2015, due to judicial issues affecting the power plants during 2013 and 2014. The cost associated with these deferrals was approximately US$ 760,000.

Under Chilean law, power generation companies must demonstrate that a minimum amount of their energy sales are from NCRE. Currently, our Canela wind farms, Ojos de Agua mini-hydroelectric plant and 40% of the installed capacity of our Palmucho mini-hydroelectric plant qualify as NCRE facilities. We fully complied with this obligation during 2015. The additional cost of generating electricity using NCRE facilities is being charged as a pass-through in our new contracts, which mitigates the impact to our operating income.

Total industry electricity sales increased 2.6% during 2015 as compared to 2014, with a sales increase of 1.2% in the SIC and of 7.0% in the SING, as set forth in the following table:

(1) The 2014 data includes GasAtacama, which has been consolidated since May 2014.

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, and are generally standardized with an average term of ten years.

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

In 2015, 2014 and 2013, we had 41, 46 and 50 customers, respectively. In 2015, our customers included 18 distribution companies in the SIC and 23 unregulated customers.

In addition, through our subsidiary, GasAtacama, we began exporting electricity to Argentina during February 2016. This follows the signing of an agreement during October 2015. Approximately 2.3 GWh of electricity is exported per day to Argentina using the AES Gener transmission line that connects Mejillones, Chile and Salta, Argentina. Through February 29, 2016 approximately 45 GWh had been exported to Argentina.

The most significant supply contracts with regulated customers are with Chilectra S.A. (a subsidiary of Enersis Chile) and with Compañía General de Electricidad S.A. (“CGE”), an unaffiliated entity. These are the two largest distribution companies in Chile in terms of sales.

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 include a price adjustment mechanism in the case of high marginal costs, and therefore, 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. If we experienced a force majeure event, as defined in the contract, we are allowed to reject purchases and we have no obligation to supply electricity to our unregulated customers. Disputes are typically subject to binding arbitration between the parties, with limited exceptions.

Table of Contents

For the year ended December 31, 2015, our principal distribution customers were (ordered alphabetically): CGE, Chilectra Chile, Chilquinta, Emel group and Saesa group and our principal unregulated customers were (ordered alphabetically): Caserones, Compañía Minera Carmen de Andacollo, Compañía Minera Collahuasi, Grupo CAP-Compañía Minera del Pacífico and Minera Valle Central. The contracts with Grupo CAP-Compañía Minera del Pacífico were terminated on December 31, 2015.

We compete in the SIC primarily with two generation companies, AES Gener S.A. (“Gener”) and Colbún. According to the CDEC-SIC in 2015, in the SIC, Colbún had an installed capacity of 3,305 MW, of which 53.2% was thermoelectric and Gener and its subsidiaries had an installed capacity of 2,736 MW, of which 89.7% was thermoelectric. In addition, there are a number of smaller entities with an aggregate installed capacity of 4,483 MW that generate electricity in the SIC.

As of December 31, 2015, our primary competitors in the SING were E-CL (GDF Suez Group) and Gener, which have 2,147 MW and 822 MW of installed capacity, respectively. Our direct participation in the SING includes our 182 MW Tarapacá thermal plant, owned by our subsidiary Celta, and the 780 MW GasAtacama thermal plant.

Electricity generation companies compete largely on the basis of price, technical experience and reliability. In addition, because 64.3% of our installed capacity in the SIC is from hydroelectric power plants, we have lower marginal production costs than companies generating electricity through thermal plants. Our installed thermal capacity benefits from access to gas from the GNLQ. However, during periods of extended droughts, we may be forced to buy more expensive electricity from thermoelectric generators at spot prices in order to comply with our contractual obligations.

Directly and through our subsidiaries, we are the principal generation operator in the SIC, with 33.9% of the total installed capacity and 42.6% of the electricity energy sales in this system in 2015.

In the SING, our subsidiaries, Celta and GasAtacama, accounted for 23.2% of the total installed capacity and 14.4% of the electricity energy sales in this system in 2015.

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, in which generators also can trade energy with unregulated customers. The state’s role is circumscribed to regulation, supervision and indicative investment planning through non-binding recommendations in the case of generation and transmission. However, the indicative investment planning and construction bidding processes of the transmission system are binding.

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

Table of Contents

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

The transmission segment is comprised of 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 supplied to end customers at a voltage no higher than 23 kV. Distribution companies operate under a distribution public utility concession regime, with service obligations and regulated tariffs for supplying regulated customers.

Customers are classified according to their demand, as follows: (i) unregulated customers with connected capacity of over 2,000 kW; (ii) regulated customers with connected capacity of no more than 500 kW; and (iii) customers that choose either a regulated tariff or an unregulated regime, for a minimum period of four years, available to customers whose connected capacity falls in the range of 500 kW to 2,000 kW. In January 2015, Chilean Congress approved a reform of the procurement system contained in the Chilean Electricity Law (described below), which becomes effective in 2019 and will raise the capacity limit for unregulated customers from 2,000 kW to 5,000 kW and will lower the minimum capacity from 2,000 kW to 500 kW.

The distribution companies supply regulated customers, a segment for which the price and supply conditions are the result of tender processes regulated by the CNE, and unregulated customers, with bilateral agreements between generators, whose conditions are freely negotiated and agreed upon.

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 country, where 92.2% 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 6.3% of the Chilean population lives (2014 CDEC-SIC annual report). In addition to the SIC and the SING, there are two isolated systems in southern Chile that provide electricity to remote areas, where 1.5% of the population lives.

In 2013, the Chilean government sent a proposal to modify the Chilean Electricity Law to allow the state to promote the interconnection project between the SIC and the SING. In January 2014, the proposal was approved and signed into law by the Chilean President as Law No. 20,726. The interconnection, which is being built by GDF SUEZ, is expected to be completed in by 2019.

In May 2014, the Chilean government announced the Energy Agenda in which a plan was established to create and execute a long-term energy policy. The Energy Agenda presents several courses of action and goals to achieve in the short, medium and long term. These objectives are: lower energy prices, facilitating the incorporation of non-conventional renewable energy sources and promoting the efficient use of energy.

The Energy Agenda includes a program of legal initiatives to realize those goals. Among the subjects to be addressed by this program are: “Amendments to the legal framework for procurement of electricity for regulated customers” (approved and published in the Diario Oficial in January 2015), “Amendments to the legal framework of the electricity transmission systems” (presented to Congress in August 2015, currently under study, and expected to be enacted during the third quarter of 2016), “Energy Efficiency Law” (expected to be enacted during the fourth quarter of 2016) and “Law to promote geothermal energy” (expected to be enacted during the fourth quarter of 2016).

As part of the energy agenda, Decree No. 148 (“Energía 2050 Política Energética de Chile”) was signed on December 30, 2015. Decree No. 148 approves the new long-term strategy for the electricity sector, which aims to (i) improve electricity service for the impoverished, (ii) have 70% of national electricity generation from NCRE and (iii) ensure that 100% of new construction to be built with energy control systems and smart energy management by 2050.

For more information about the amendments, see “—The Electricity Law - General” below.

The operation of electricity generation companies in each of the two major interconnected electricity systems is coordinated by their respective dispatch centers, known as a CDEC, an independent entity that coordinates generators, transmission companies and large customers. 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 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 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.

Chilean antitrust authorities are responsible for preventing, investigating and correcting any threats to free market competition and any anti-competitive practices by potentially monopolistic companies. These authorities 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 Chilean Supreme Court, which functions 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 FNE’s regulatory 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 between participants in the electricity market and the regulatory authority in certain tariff processes. It issues enforceable resolutions and is composed of experts in industry matters, five engineers or economists and two lawyers, all of whom are elected every six years by the TDLC.

There are also other entities related to the energy sector: the Chilean Nuclear Energy Commission is in charge of research, development, use and control of nuclear energy, and the Chilean Energy Efficiency Agency is 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 from 1970 to 1973. During the 1980s, the sector was reorganized through the Chilean Electricity Law, known as DFL 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 that limits the discretionary role of the government by establishing objective criteria for setting prices. The goal 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 1 was published in 1982 and has had few important changes since then to deal with droughts, encourage investments in transmission lines and to create long-term contracts between generation and distribution companies as part of a bid process. The present text of the law was restated as DFL 4 of 2006, and has been supplemented with a series of regulations and standards.

Table of Contents

In January 2015, the Chilean Congress approved amendments to the legal framework for procurement of electricity by regulated customers. Among the principal changes introduced in these amendments, were:

 

    Increased CNE participation in the development of tenders.

 

    Additional time to call for tenders: five years in advance.

 

    Allocation mechanism: Will be awarded to the lowest prices offered. These prices will be limited by a capped price that will be deemed as a reserve price and keep private until the bid price is public.

 

    Reduced risk: Providers of electricity have the ability to postpone delivery of electricity in the event there are delays due to well-founded reasons not attributable to the tenderer and to request a price review, indexed to the conditions prevalent at the time which the supply is delivered.

 

    Short-term contracts: Short-term procurement contracts (up to three years), with an advance of one year, have a minimum price equal to the average market price plus 50%. Additionally, within specified ranges from the average marginal cost price, marginal cost will be used.

 

    Uncontracted energy: All generators within a particular system will be required to offset energy supply contract deficits in proportion to the energy they inject into the system. Each generator will receive the higher of the short-term node price or variable cost of the plant. When energy without contracts exceeds 5% of the total regulated supply, the excess will be paid by distribution companies at a price equal to marginal cost. In turn, these marginal costs will be passed on to end customers.

 

    Unregulated customers: Unregulated customers capacity limit increased from 2,000 kW to 5,000 kW beginning 2019.

Currently, a new modification is under study by the Chilean Congress and is expected to be enacted during the second quarter of 2016, with the purpose of addressing two issues:

 

    Planning the expansion and remuneration of the Chilean transmission systems.

 

    Long-term energy planning for terms of at least 40 years by the Chilean Ministry of Energy.

 

    Annual transmission system planning by the CNE.

 

    Transmission network valuation process every four years.

 

    Transmission network cost to be financed by unregulated and regulated consumers.

 

    The creation of a new entity to coordinate the power plant operations and the transmission facilities of the Chilean electricity system (Comité Independiente del Sistema Eléctrico Nacional,“CISEN” in its Spanish acronym)

 

    Independent power plant directory.

 

    Attributions and resources

 

    In the middle-term, due to the SING-SIC interconnection, there will be only one new operator of the Chilean electricity system.

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 interest in the Main Transmission System (“STT” in its Spanish acronym) 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 interest of all such agents in the STT must never exceed 40% of the investment value.

According to the Chilean Electricity Law, there are no restrictions on market concentration for generation and distribution activities. However, Chilean antitrust authorities have imposed certain measures to increase the transparency within the different companies within the group of Enersis S.A. and its subsidiaries. The TDLC’s Resolution No. 667/2002 requires:

 

    board members of Enersis S.A., Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. and Chilectra S.A. be elected from different and independent groups;

 

    the external auditors of Enersis S.A., Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. and Chilectra S.A. be different for local statutory purposes;

 

36


Table of Contents
    Enersis S.A., Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. and Chilectra S.A. may not merge companies within the group which operate in electricity generation and distribution; instead, Enersis S.A. must continue to maintain both business segments separately through companies that are independent business units; and

 

    Enersis S.A., Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. and Chilectra S.A. must remain subject to the regulatory authority of the SVS and comply with the regulations applicable to publicly held stock corporations, even if they should lose such designation.

We are subject to these restrictions. However, as stated in their by-laws, these restrictions are not applicable between Endesa Chile and Endesa Américas. In addition, these restrictions are not applicable between Enersis Americas, Endesa Americas and Chilectra Américas because these companies do not participate in markets within Chile.

Additionally, in October 2012, FNE Official Letter No. 1479 imposed additional restrictions on Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A., which are still applicable to Endesa Chile and Chilectra Chile after the spin-offs, stating that:

 

    the controlling shareholders should refrain from designating those persons who had been directors of Chilectra Chile during the prior term as Endesa Chile directors; and

 

    Endesa Chile’s management should refrain from designating employees in first and second level positions that had held the same positions in Chilectra Chile during the six months prior to their designation.

In addition, the Water Utility Services Law also sets restrictions on the overlapping of concessions in the same area, setting restrictions on the ownership of the property for water and sewage service concessions and utilities that are natural monopolies, such as electricity distribution, gas or home telephone networks.

Regulation of Generation Companies Concessions

Chilean 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 of the two major electric systems, 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 unregulated end 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 last kWh dispatched.

Sales to Distribution Companies and Certain Regulated Customers

Under Law No. 20,018 (Ley Corta II), enacted on May 19, 2005, all new contracts between generation and distribution companies to supply electricity to regulated customers must arise from international bids. In January 2015, the Diario Oficial published Law No. 20,805, which amended the bidding process for supplying electricity to regulated customers. These amendments, among others, changed the anticipation required for the bidding process from three to five years; extended the maximum contract period from 15 to 20 years; adopted a capped price known as “reserve price” that is kept private until the bid price is made public; and allowed for the possibility to review the price awarded during the supply period, setting new procedures to assign energy without contracts and to regulate the short-term bidding process.

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.

Promotion of Generation from Renewable Energy Sources

On April 1, 2008, Law No. 20,257 amended the General Electric Services Law. The purpose of the amendment was to promote the development of NCRE. This law defines the different types of technologies that qualify 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 a certain type, and to progressively increase this percentage by 0.5 percentage points annually up to a minimum of 10% by 2024.

On October 22, 2013, Law No. 20,698 was adopted to promote the use of NCRE and modify the previously defined NCRE minimum requirements. This law establishes a mandatory share of renewable energy sources in 2025, calculated as a percentage of the total contracted energy of each generator. For contracts signed between 2007 and 2013, the target is 10% by 2024, while for contracts beyond 2013 the target is 20% by 2025.

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 under our service agreements.

Generation companies may also be required to pay fines to the regulatory authorities, as well as compensate electricity customers affected by shortages of electricity. The fines are related to system blackouts due to an electricity generator’s operational problems, including failures related to the coordination duties of all system agents. 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 a rate known as the “failure cost” determined by the authority in each node price setting. This failure cost, which is updated semiannually by the CNE, is a measurement of how much end customers would pay for one extra MWh under rationing conditions.

Water Rights

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. The maximum license fees that may be recovered are those paid during the eight years before the start-up date.

The Chilean Constitution considers water as a national public good on which real utilization rights are defined. That is similar to holding the private property rights over water, as set forth in article 19, paragraph 24: “The rights of individuals over water, recognized or constituted in accordance with the law, grant their holders ownership over such rights.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, paragraph 24 also specifies legal limitations to those water rights.

The Chilean Congress is currently discussing amendments to the Water Code with the objective of making water use related to human consumption, household subsistence and sanitation a priority. The amendments are currently in the first stage of the legislative process in the Chilean House of Representatives and have been approved by the Mining and Energy Commission and are currently being evaluated by the Agricultural Commission. The main aspects of the amendments are as follows:

 

    Granting of water rights which would be limited to a maximum period of 30 years and extendable, unless the Chilean Water Authority proves the ineffective use of resources. The extension shall be effective only for used water rights.

 

    The expiration of non-consumptive water rights that were granted by law, if the holder does not exercise the right of use within eight years.

 

    The expiration of non-consumptive water rights already granted, if the user does not effectively use the rights within a period of eight years from the date of enactment of the new Water Code. Only in justified cases, such as delays in obtaining permits or environmental approvals, can the term be extended for up to four years.

 

    Late in 2015, there was a new requirement regarding to the preservation of an water ecological flows to protect the ecology for existing and future water rights and for both consumptive and non-consumptive water use, which would reduce the water availability for generation purposes.

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 that may affect public health, and the protection of water for human consumption.

Environmental Law No. 19,300 was enacted in 1994 and has been amended by several regulations, including 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 No. 19,300 was modified by Law No. 20,417, which introduced changes to the environmental assessment process and in the public institutions involved, principally creating the Chilean Ministry of Environment and the Superintendence of Environment. Environmental assessment processes are coordinated by this entity and the Environmental Assessment Service. In June 2011, the Ministry of Environment published Decree 13, emission standards for thermoelectric plants applicable to generation units of at least 50 MW. The objective 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 are required to meet emission limits as established in the regulation for MP emissions and for SO2 and NOx emissions by June 2015 in highly polluted areas and by June 2016 elsewhere.

In June 2012, Law No. 20,600 created the Environmental Courts, special jurisdictional courts subject to the control of the Chilean 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, all of which are in operation.

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

On September 10, 2014, Law No. 20,780 was enacted and included charges for the emission of MP, NOx, SO2 and CO2 into the atmosphere. For CO2 emissions, the charge is US$ 5 per emitted ton (not applicable to renewable biomass generation). MP, NOx and SO2 emissions will be charged the equivalent of US$ 0.10 per emitted ton, multiplied by the result of a formula based on the population of the municipality where the generation plant is located and an additional fee of US$ 0.90 per ton of MP emitted, US$ 0.01 per ton of SO2 emitted and US$ 0.025 per ton of NOx emitted. This tax will be in effect beginning in 2018, taking into account the previous year’s emissions.

Generation Business

Celta

Celta was formed in 1995 in order to build and operate two thermoelectric plants in the SING: a coal-fired plant with an installed capacity of 158 MW and a gas/fuel oil power plant with 24 MW of installed capacity. On November 1, 2013, Endesa Eco (including San Isidro and Pangue) was merged into Celta. We hold a 96.2% equity interest in Celta.

GasAtacama

GasAtacama is a generation company located in the northern region of Chile. It consists of a four-unit combined-cycle power plant with a total installed capacity of 780 MW and a gas pipeline, which allows the import of gas from Argentina. After completing the purchase of a 50% ownership interest in GasAtacama Holding in April 2014, we beneficially own 98.1% of GasAtacama’s shares. Since May 1, 2014, we have fully consolidated GasAtacama Holding and GasAtacama in our consolidated financial statements.

Pehuenche

Pehuenche, a generation company connected to the SIC, owns three hydroelectric facilities located in the hydrological basin of the Maule River, south of Santiago, with a total installed capacity of 699 MW. The 570 MW Pehuenche plant began operations in 1991, the 89 MW Curillinque plant began operations in 1993, and the 40 MW Loma Alta plant began operations in 1997. We hold 92.7% of Pehuenche.

Selected Related and Jointly-Controlled Companies

GNL Quintero

GNL Quintero was incorporated in March 2007 and operates a LNG regasification facility located in Quintero Bay at which the LNG is unloaded, stored and regasified. We own 20% of GNL Quintero, and the remaining ownership interest is held by, ENAP (20%), Metrogas (20%) and Terminal de Valparaíso (20%), which is 40% owned by Enagas and Oman Oil.

As of December 31, 2015, this project has a regasification capacity of 15 million cubic meters per day and three containment tanks totaling 334,000 cubic meters LNG of storage capacity.

HidroAysén

HidroAysén was incorporated in March 2007 to develop and exploit a hydroelectric project in the Aysén Region in southern Chile. We own 51% of HidroAysén, and Colbún owns the remaining 49%. We recorded an impairment loss of Ch$ 69,067 million attributed to the fourth quarter of 2014, related to the uncertainty of recovering the investment made in HidroAysén.

Transquillota

Transquillota was formed by San Isidro and Colbún for the joint development of a 220 kV transmission line to dispatch the energy produced and to connect both the San Isidro (which is now merged with Celta, one of our subsidiaries) and Nehuenco (a subsidiary of Colbún) plants to the SIC. The 220 kV transmission line is 8 kilometers long. The property is equally divided between Celta and Nehuenco. Our economic interest in Transquillota is 48.1%.

Electrogas

Electrogas was incorporated in 1996. It offers natural gas transportation services to the Valparaíso Region of Chile, including the San Isidro and Nehuenco combined-cycle plants at Quillota. We beneficially own 42.5% of Electrogas. The remaining shareholders are Colbún and ENAP, both non-related entities.

 

D. Property, Plant and Equipment.

In Chile, we own 28 generation power plants. A substantial portion of our cash flow and net income is derived from the sale of electricity produced by our electricity generation facilities. Significant damage to one or more of our 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 our operations.

Our electricity generation facilities are insured against damage due to earthquakes, fires, floods, other acts of god (but not for droughts, which are not force majeure risks, and are not covered by insurance) 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, management believes that the risk of an event with a material adverse effect is remote. Claims under our insurance policies are subject to customary deductibles and other conditions. We also maintain business interruption insurance providing coverage for the failure of any of our facilities for a period of up to 24 months, including the deductible period. The insurance coverage taken for our 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. All insurance policies are purchased from reputable international insurers. We continuously monitor and meet with the insurance companies in order to obtain what we believe is the most commercially reasonable insurance coverage.

Project Investments

The total investment for each project described below was translated into Chilean pesos at the exchange rate of Ch$ 710.16 per U.S. dollar, the U.S. dollar Observed Exchange Rate as of December 31, 2015. Budgeted amounts include connecting lines that could eventually be owned by third parties and paid as tolls, unless otherwise indicated.

Projects under Construction

Los Cóndores Hydroelectric Project

Los Cóndores project will be located in the Maule region, in the San Clemente area. It consists of a 150 MW run-of-the river hydroelectric power plant, which will use water from the Maule Lagoon reservoir through a 12 km penstock. The power plant will be connected to the SIC at the Ancoa substation (220 kV) through an 87 km transmission line and will consist of two units.

The basic engineering and the Environmental Impact Statement (“DIA”, in its Spanish acronym) of the Los Cóndores optimized project were concluded in early 2011. The Environmental Qualifications Resolution (“RCA”, in its Spanish acronym) was obtained in November 2011 and the RCA of the transmission line project was granted in May 2012. In November 2014, the General Water Authority approved the waterworks permit.

During July 2015, we conducted scale model tests of the turbines. The results were satisfactory and enabled a hydraulic design, giving rise to the detailed design of the main generating equipment, a process that will take approximately eight months.

During August 2015, we participated in the assembling tests of the Tunnel Boring Machine (“TBM”), which will be used to build a 12 km headrace tunnel. By the end of 2015, all components of the TBM were received and assembly was started.

We entered into easement agreements for 218 structures, or 73.6% of the total structures required for connecting the project to the SIC. In addition, the process of notification and publication of the Electric Definitive Concession began after that the Chilean Superintendence of Electricity and Fuels issued a Resolution granting the admissibility of the concession that we presented on December 9, 2015.

The main advances in 2015 were:

 

    In January 2015, we completed the first 10 meters of Tunnel Ventana Lo Aguirre.

 

    In April 2015, we completed the digging of the access tunnel to the underground powerhouse (390 meters in length).

 

    In July 2015, we performed the turbines scale model tests.

 

    In August 2015, we completed the digging of the auxiliary tunnel to the discharge tunnel (141 meters in length).

 

    In September 2015, we completed the digging of the discharge tunnel of both units that connect the underground powerhouse with the principal discharge tunnel of the power plant.

 

    In November 2015, we completed the digging of the underground powerhouse.

 

    In December 2015, we completed the assembly, outside the tunnel, of the complete shield of the TBM, which initiated the preparations for inserting the TBM into the tunnel. In addition, we completed 70 structural foundations required for connecting the project to the SIC, with a progress of 13.55% in the construction and 55.8% in the supplies.

Construction is expected to be completed in 2018. This project is being financed primarily with internally generated funds. The estimated total investment is Ch$ 369.883 million, of which Ch$ 101,795 million was accrued as of December 31, 2015.

Projects Under Development

We continuously analyze different growth opportunities in Chile. During 2015, our projects’ portfolio has been modified to permit flexibility in the investment decision. The focus is to have a portfolio with projects that are sustainable from a technical, environmental, social and economic perspective. Expected dates of commissioning of each of the projects are constantly reviewed and are defined based on commercial opportunities and on our financial capacity to undertake these projects. The most important projects under development are as follows:

Generation Business

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 run-of-the-river hydro power plant. It will be connected to the SIC through a 42 kilometer 220 kV transmission line from Neltume to Pullinque.

In 2007, we started an early process of social integration in the local territory, which has been reinforced through the Indigenous Inquiry process for the communities in the territory, in order to ascertain their position on the project and comply with Convention No. 169 “Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention” of the International Labor Organization (“ILO”). The Indigenous Inquiry process was carried out by Environmental Evaluation Authority (“SEA” in its Spanish acronym) from the second half of 2013 until the end of December 2015. Due to this process and the engineering studies required, the Environmental Impact Study was submitted in December 2010.

This Indigenous Inquiry process indicated that there were some social and environmental controversies in the land associated with the Neltume project. As part of our new strategy of sustainability and community relations, we will develop generation initiatives in a collaborative approach with local communities. The original Environmental Impact Study was likely to be rejected, given the official announcements of various public services issued in late 2015 as well as several meetings with the authorities and in response to the concerns of residents living near Lake Neltume, we decided to study new design alternatives in order to redesign the discharge to the lake. As a consequence of this decision, we recorded a write-off of Ch$ 2.7 billion in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015, associated with some assets related with the original Environmental Impact Study, which was withdrawn on December 29, 2015, and other studies directly related to the original design. This is not related to the transmission line project, which is continuing as planned and there are studies underway to be filed again.

Regarding the social area, we have established a permanent working model for engaging local communities where its power plants and projects are located, supporting forum of discussion and promoting competitive funds in order to be the community and its members themselves who define which projects to develop, based on their interests and needs.

The new design for the Neltume project will require additional technical and environmental studies, a process that will be carried out by generating opportunities for collaboration and common views, as far as possible, with communities and local authorities. Our purpose is to achieve project development in a harmonious way with the territorial, social and environment framework, in line with the energy requirements of the region and the country.

We expect construction to start during 2020 and completion in 2025. This project is being financed primarily with internally generated funds. The estimated total investment is between Ch$ 500 and 800 billion, of which Ch$ 43,221 million was accrued as of December 31, 2015. This accrued amount does not include the aforementioned write-off.

Piruquina Hydroelectric Project

The Piruquina Hydroelectric project is located in Los Lagos region, on Chiloé Island, and will use water from the Carihueico river. The Piruquina project consists of an 8 MW installed capacity mini hydroelectric power plant. Its architecture provides a small connecting tunnel of approximately 200 meters. It will be connected to the SIC at the Pid-Pid substation, through a 6 kilometer 23 kV transmission line.

This project has all the engineering studies and principal permits required, as well as the favorable RCA issued on November 10, 2009 and the Hydraulic Work Permit (“PHO” in its Spanish acronym) granted on August 6, 2014 that approves and authorizes the construction of hydraulic works for the power plant.

Table of Contents

Currently, we expect construction to start during 2016 and completion in 2018. This project is being financed primarily with internally generated funds. The estimated total investment is Ch$ 21,141 million, of which Ch$ 2,698 million was accrued as of December 31, 2015.

Ttanti Combined-Cycle Project

The Ttanti project is located in Antofagasta region, on land adjacent to the existing Atacama power plant that is located in the industrial zone of Mejillones city. The project consists of the construction of three units of natural gas combined-cycle power plant with an aggregate installed capacity of approximately 1.290 MW (430 MW each one) and would be able to use diesel oil as a backup in case of scarcity of natural gas. The power plant would be connected to SING through a 0.5 km 220 kV double circuit transmission line to the Atacama substation, which will required to be expanded for this purpose.

Currently, the project is in the environment assessment phase. On December 22, 2015, we registered the Addendum No. 1, which responded to the inquiries formulated by the SEA and we are currently waiting for the new comments that might formulate the SEA.

We expect to receive the RCA at the end of 2016. If the RCA is favorable, we expect construction to start during 2018 and completion in 2021. The estimated total investment of the first unit is Ch$ 321,653 million, of which Ch$ 677 million was accrued as of December 31, 2015.

Taltal Combined-Cycle Project

The project consists of the construction of a steam turbine for converting the existing Taltal gas-fired open cycle plant to a combined-cycle plant by adding a turbine in the vapor phase, which would use the steam generated by the gas turbines’ heat emissions to produce energy, which will considerably improve its efficiency. The Taltal power plant is located in the Antofagasta region. Currently, the existing Taltal power plant has two gas turbines of 120 MW each. The extra power to be added by the steam turbine would be approximately 130 MW and therefore, the Taltal power plant would achieve a total capacity of 370 MW and an efficiency increase. The energy produced will be supplied to the SIC through the existing 220 kV double circuit Diego de Almagro – Paposo transmission line.

In December 2013, a DIA was submitted to the SEA for approval, in order to optimize the project. The main modification relates to a change in the cooling system, which was originally designed as a wet system (using sea water) and is being modified to a dry cooling system (using air condensers). During the second quarter of 2015, Addendum No. 2 was submitted, responding to the second round of observations formulated by the SEA. During the third quarter of 2015, the SEA formulated its third round of observations and we decided to postpone sending a response until the end of 2016. This decision was made to create opportunities for dialogue and work in partnership with the local community and thus, build a collaborative, transparent and constructive relationship, enabling us to benefit mutually in the development of the project.

We expect construction to start during 2018 and its commissioning is expected for 2021. This project is being financed primarily with internally generated funds. The estimated total investment is Ch$ 186,106 million, of which Ch$ 2,879 million was accrued as of December 31, 2015.

Major Encumbrances

As of December 31, 2015, we have full ownership of our assets and they are not subject to material encumbrances.

Climate Change

In recent years, Chile and the region have seen an increase of developments related to NCRE and strategies to combat climate change. This has required both the public and private sectors to adopt strategies in order to comply with the new environmental requirements, as evidenced by legal obligations at the local level, commitments assumed by countries at the international level, and the demanding requirements of the international markets.

NCREs provide energy with minimal environmental impact and without CO2 emissions. They are therefore considered technological options that strengthen sustainable energy development as they supplement the production of traditional generators.

The Canela I wind farm (18 MW, in operation since 2007) and Canela II wind farm (60 MW, in operation since 2009) are the NCRE facilities that we owned which, have contributed clean and renewable energy to the SIC. Regarding the development of CO2 emission reduction mechanisms, the projects in the Clean Development Mechanism (“CDM”) circuit were as follows:

Canela I Wind Farm: On April 3, 2009, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (“UNFCCC”) approved the registration of the Canela project as a CDM project, which recognizes that this wind farm may verify and trade credits for greenhouse gas emissions that it will avoid during its useful life. On February 24, 2014, the UNFCCC approved the issuance of credits for 44,919 tons of CO2 emissions for the operational period of 2009 through 2011. Certified Emission Reductions (“CERs”) of subsequent periods have not yet been verified.

On August 8, 2013, the Canela I wind farm achieved registration under the Gold Standard (“GS”). This allowed us to apply for the GS verification process, which would provide GS Voluntary Emission Reductions (“VER”).

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 that it will avoid during its useful life.

In compliance with the group climate change guidelines, we have secured the certification of our carbon footprint for a fourth time. The Spanish Association of Standards and Certification (Asociación Española de Normalización y Certificación or “AENOR”), an independent certification authority, acknowledged the validity of the methodology. Acknowledgement by AENOR includes verification of the group’s carbon footprint reports from 2009 to 2014. A carbon footprint is the sum of all greenhouse gases (“GHGs”) produced by a company in the course of its business activity. We are striving to reduce our emissions as part of our commitment to combat climate change. The first step involves measuring our carbon footprint.

As part of the process of calculating our carbon footprint, we plan to obtain a GHG inventory, including direct emissions associated with activities controlled by us. We also plan to obtain a GHG inventory of indirect emissions, which are not generated through sources we control but are consequences of our activities.

The tools used to calculate emissions include audits and checks at all of our facilities. This enables us to monitor our carbon footprint throughout the entire electricity supply chain. Calculating the carbon footprint also enables us to identify phases of our activities with the greatest potential to boost energy efficiency and reduce emissions.

A. Operating Results.

General

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, included in Item 18 in this Report, and “Selected Financial Data,” included in Item 3 herein. Our audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and for the three years ended December 31, 2015 have been prepared in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the IASB.

 

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

We own and operate electricity generation companies in Chile. Our consolidated revenues and cash flow primarily come from our core business, electricity generation. Consolidated revenues from generation represented 100.0%, 99.2% and 98.9% of consolidated total revenues in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Factors such as (i) hydrological conditions, (ii) fuel prices, (iii) regulatory developments, (iv) exceptional actions adopted by governmental authorities and (v) changes in the economic conditions may materially affect our financial results. In addition, our results from operations and financial condition are affected by variations in the exchange rate between the Chilean peso and the U.S. dollar. We have certain critical accounting policies that affect our consolidated operating results. The impact of these factors on us, for the years covered by this Report, is discussed below.

Since May 2014, we have fully consolidated GasAtacama Holding and its subsidiaries, including GasAtacama, in our consolidated financial statements, as a result of our purchase of an additional 50% of GasAtacama Holding’s shares from Southern Cross Latin America Private Equity Fund III, L.P., which increased our economic interest to 98.1% and granted the control of this entity. Prior to this transaction, the company was recognized as jointly-controlled company.

 

a. Hydrological Conditions

A substantial part of our generation capacity depends on the prevailing hydrological conditions. Our installed capacity as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 was 6,351 MW and as of December 31, 2013 was 5,571 MW, of which 54.6% and 62.2% respectively, was hydroelectric. The 780 MW increase in installed capacity between December 31, 2013 and 2014 is due to the inclusion of GasAtacama’s thermal generation capacity since May, 2014. See “Item 4. Information on the Company — D. Property, Plant and Equipment.”

Hydroelectric generation was 11,842 GWh, 11,561 GWh and 9,889 GWh in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Our 2015 hydroelectric generation was higher than 2014 mainly due to more favorable hydrological conditions. Nevertheless, some important reservoirs are still at low levels due to several years of drought since 2010, characterized by low rainfalls and a poor snowmelt.

Hydrological conditions in Chile can range from very wet, as a result of several years of abundant rainfall and lakes at their peak capacity, to extremely dry, as a consequence of prolonged droughts lasting for several years, the partial or material depletion of water reservoirs and the significant reduction of snow and ice in the mountains, which in turn leads to materially lower levels of hydrology as a consequence of lower melts. In between these two extremes, there is a wide range of possible hydrological conditions. For instance, a new year of drought has very different impacts on our business, depending on whether it follows several years of drought or a period of abundant rainfall. On the other hand, a good hydrological year has less marginal impact if it comes after several wet years than after a prolonged drought. In Chile, the months that typically have the most precipitation are May through August, and the months when snow and ice melts typically are October though March, providing water flow to our lakes, reservoirs and rivers, which supply our hydroelectric plants, most of them concentrated in southern Chile. For purposes of discussing the impact of hydrological conditions on our business, we generally categorize our hydrological conditions into dry, wet, or normal, although there are many other possible scenarios well beyond these three. Extreme hydrological conditions materially affect our operating results and financial conditions. However, it is difficult to indicate the effects of hydrology on our operating income, without concurrently taking into account other factors, because our operating income can only be explained by looking at a combination of factors and not each one on a stand-alone basis.

Hydrological conditions affect electricity market prices, generation costs, spot prices, tariffs and the mix of hydroelectric or thermal generation, which is constantly being defined by the CDEC to minimize the operating cost of the entire system. Pass-through hydroelectric generation is almost always the least expensive method to generate electricity and normally has a marginal cost close to zero. In the case of reservoirs, Chilean authorities assign a cost for the use of water, which may lead to hydroelectric generation not necessarily being the lowest marginal cost. This is the case of Laja Lake, which is used as a reference for the SIC. The cost of thermal generation does not depend on hydrological conditions but instead on international commodity prices for LNG, coal, diesel and fuel oil.

Table of Contents

Spot prices primarily depend on hydrological conditions and commodity prices. Under most circumstances, abundant hydrological conditions lower spot prices while dry conditions normally increase prices. Spot market prices affect our results since we purchase electricity in the spot market in the case that we have deficits between our contracted energy sales and our generation, and we sell electricity in the spot market if we have electricity surpluses.

There are many other factors that may affect operating income, including the level of contracted sales, purchases/sales in the spot electricity market, commodity prices, energy demand, technical and unforeseen problems that can affect the availability of our thermal plants, plant locations in relation to urban demand centers, and transmission system conditions, among others.

To illustrate the effects of hydrology on our operating results, the following table describes certain hydrological conditions, their expected effects on spot prices and generation, and the expected impact on our operating income, assuming that other factors remain unchanged. In all cases, hydrological conditions do not have an isolated effect but need to be evaluated in conjunction with other factors to better understand the impact on our operating results.

 

Hydrological

Conditions

     

Expected effects on spot prices

and generation

   Expected impact on our operating results
Dry       Higher spot prices    Positive: if our generation is higher than contracted energy sales, energy surpluses are sold in the spot market at high prices.
        

 

Negative: if our generation is less than contracted sales, there is an energy deficit and we must purchase in the spot market at high prices.

 

      Reduced hydro generation    Negative: less energy available to sell in the spot market.
      Increased thermal generation   

 

Positive: increases our energy available for sale and either reduces purchases in the spot market or increases sales in the spot market at high prices.

 

Wet       Lower spot prices   

Positive: if our generation is less than energy contracted sales, the energy deficit is covered by purchases in the spot market at low prices.

 

         Negative: if there are energy surpluses, they are sold in the spot market at low prices.
      Increased hydroelectric generation   

 

Positive: more energy available to sell in the spot market despite the low prices.

 

      Reduced thermal generation    Negative: less energy available to sell in the spot market.

If factors other than those described above apply, the expected impact of hydrological conditions on operating results will be different than those shown above. For example, in a dry year with lower commodity prices, spot prices may decrease, or in a wet year if the demand grows, or generation plants are not available for technical or other reasons, the spot price may increase, altering the impact of hydrological conditions discussed in the table above.

In recent years, additional thermal capacity has helped to offset poor hydrological conditions, resulting in better operating margins. However, operations of the Bocamina I and II thermal power plants were stopped for extended periods in 2014 due to an injunction from the Court of Concepción. This shutdown would have had less impact if there had been better hydrological conditions during this period. On July 1, 2015, the plants became available for dispatch after obtaining the required authorization. Hydrological conditions were less favorable than the historical average during the period between January 2015 and July 2015. During this time, we also had reduced thermal generation due to the shutdown of Bocamina I and II, and higher spot prices than normal years that to some extent were mitigated by the reduction of commodity prices. Our generation was lower than our contracted sales, resulting in higher energy purchase costs. Since July 2015, Bocamina I and II have been available, and since August 2015 hydrological conditions have improved, and have been within the normal historical range, resulting in better operating income compared to the same period in 2014.

Table of Contents

Hydrological conditions in 2013 were slightly drier than 2014, with fuel oil and coal being more expensive in 2013 than in 2014. We also purchased energy on the spot market at a higher price to meet our contractual obligations. Operating income, excluding depreciation, amortization and impairment losses, was similar to 2014.

 

b. Selective Regulatory Developments

The regulatory framework governing our businesses has a material effect on our operating results. In particular, regulators set energy prices in the generation business, taking into consideration factors such as fuel costs, reservoir levels, exchange rates, future investments in installed capacity and demand growth.

For additional information relating to the regulatory framework, see “Item 4. Information on the Company — B. Business Overview — Electricity Industry Regulatory Framework.”

 

c. Economic Conditions

Macroeconomic conditions, such as changes in employment levels and inflation or deflation may have a significant effect on our operating results. Macroeconomic factors, such as the variation of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar may impact our operating results, as well as our assets and liabilities, depending on the amounts denominated in U.S. dollars. For example, a devaluation of the Chilean peso 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 “— Chilean economic fluctuations could affect our results of operations and financial condition as well as the value of our securities.”

Local Currency Exchange Rate

Variations in the parity of the U.S. dollar and the Chilean peso 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.

The following table sets forth the closing and average Chilean pesos per U.S. dollar exchange rates for the years indicated:

 

       Local Currency U.S. Dollar Exchange Rates

d. Critical Accounting Policies

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 most critical accounting policies with reference to the preparation of our combined financial statements under IFRS are those described below.

For further detail of the accounting policies and the methods used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, see Notes 2 and 3 of the Notes to our consolidated financial statements.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

During the year, and principally at year end, we evaluate whether there is any indication that an asset has been impaired. Should any such indication exist, we estimate the recoverable amount of that asset to determine, where appropriate, the amount of impairment. In the case of identifiable assets that do not generate cash flows independently, we estimate 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 of (i) the fair value less the cost needed to sell and (ii) 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, that form part of a cash generating unit, we use value in use criteria in nearly all cases.

To estimate the value in use, we prepare future pre-tax cash flow projections based on the most recent budgets available. These budgets incorporate management’s best estimates of cash generating units, revenues and costs using sector projections, past experience and future expectations.

In general, these projections cover the next five years, estimating cash flows for subsequent years by applying a reasonable growth rate of 4.5%, which are not increasing nor do they exceed the average long term growth rates for the particular sector.

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 in Chile. The discount rate is calculated taking into account the current time value of money and the risk premiums generally used by market participants for the specific business activity.

The pre-tax nominal discount rates applied in 2015, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:

 

              Year ended December 31,  
              2015      2014        2013  

Country

     Currency      Minimum      Maximum      Minimum        Maximum        Minimum        Maximum  

Chile

     Chilean peso      12.7%        9.6%           13.0%           8.6%           16.3%   

If the recoverable amount is less than the net carrying amount of the cash generating unit , the corresponding impairment loss provision is recognized 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, any adjustments made are not reversible.

Litigation and Contingencies

We are currently involved in certain legal and tax proceedings. As discussed in Note 22 of the Notes to our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2015, we have estimated the probable outflows of resources for resolving these claims to be Ch$ 9.8 billion. 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 Cash Revenues Directly Linked to the U.S. Dollar

We have established a policy to hedge the portion of our revenues directly linked to the U.S. dollar by obtaining financing in U.S. dollars. Exchange differences related to this debt, as they are cash flow hedge transactions, are charged net of taxes to an equity reserve account that forms part of Other Comprehensive Income 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 cash flows tied to the U.S. dollar.

Pension and Post-Employment Benefit Liabilities

We have various defined benefit plans for our employees. These plans pay benefits to employees at retirement and use formulas based on years of service and employee compensations. 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, retirement age, discount rates, the future level of employee compensations 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 a material effect on the reported results from operations.

Table of Contents

The effect of an increase of 100 basis points in the discount rate used to determine the present value of the post-employment defined benefits would decrease the liability by Ch$ 0.9 billion, Ch$ 3.1 billion and Ch$ 3.0 billion as of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively and the effect of a decrease of 100 basis points in the rate used to determine the present value of the post-employment defined benefits would increase the liability by Ch$ 1.1 billion, Ch$ 3.6 billion and Ch$ 3.5 billion as of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Operating costs (excluding selling and administrative expenses) from continuing operations, increased by Ch$ 130.7 billion, or 17.4%, in 2015 compared to 2014, were mainly due to (i) Ch$ 39.5 billion of higher other variable procurement and services costs mostly attributable to (a) Ch$ 23.7 billion related to the cost of the agreement with Gener to use its Nueva Renca combined-cycle power plant, allowing us to use our available LNG and (b) Ch$ 9.4 billion of higher water transportation costs for the operation of the San Isidro power plant, (ii) Ch$ 36.9 billion of higher gas transportation costs related to additional energy purchases, (iii) Ch$ 22.0 billion of higher fuel consumption costs mainly due to higher coal consumption costs of Ch$ 16.0 billion, and (iv) increased purchases of energy in the spot market of Ch$ 32.2 billion due to higher sales.

Selling and Administrative Expenses from Continuing Operations

Selling and administrative expenses relate to salaries, compensation, administrative expenses, depreciation, amortization and impairment losses, and office materials and supplies.

Financial Results from Continuing Operations

Our net financial results for the year ended December 31, 2015 was an expense of Ch$ 114.3 billion, an increase of Ch$ 36.9 billion, or 47.7%, compared to 2014. This increase was primarily due to higher charges for foreign currency exchange differences of Ch$ 32.6 billion, mainly as a result of a devaluation of the Chilean peso against the U.S. dollar that affected the valuation of intercompany debt from Enersis Américas denominated in U.S. dollars.

Others from Continuing Operations

Our share of the profit (loss) of associates and joint venture investments accounted for using the equity method in 2015 was Ch$ 8.9 billion, an increase of Ch$ 63.3 billion as compared to 2014, primarily due to the non-recurring impairment loss of Ch$ 69.1 billion recorded in December 2014 in connection with HidroAysén project, due to our decision not to proceed with this project. This decision was based on the uncertainty of recovering the investment made in the project, mainly as a consequence of the long judicial process in order to obtain environmental approvals.

Gain from other investments was Ch$ 4.3 billion in 2015, a Ch$ 38.3 billion decrease compared to 2014. This decrease was primarily due to the non-recurring gain of Ch$ 42.6 billion recorded in 2014 arising from the revaluation of the 50% pre-existing investments in GasAtacama and the recognition of its accumulated currency exchange differences.

Income Taxes

Total income tax expense totaled Ch$ 76.7 billion in 2015, a decrease of Ch$ 17.4 billion compared to 2014. The effective tax rate was 25.5% in 2015 compared to 57.6% in 2014.

The decrease in total income tax expense and the effective tax rate was mainly due to the absence in 2015 of an adjustment recognized as a net deferred tax liability of Ch$ 60.0 billion in 2014, following the tax reform enacted in Chile on September 29, 2014, partially offset by increase of income taxes in 2015 for Ch$ 42.6 billion related to the improvement of our financial results. The 2014 tax reform established a gradual increase in the taxation rate until 2018 and is expected to slightly affect our results in the future, considering that the main impacts on deferred taxes have been already recognized.

     242,153         283,050         (40,897)         (14.4)   

The decrease in net income attributable to non-controlling interests of Ch$ 40.9 billion in 2015 compared to 2015 is principally from discontinued operations due to the Ch$ 56.3 billion decrease of the net income attributable to the non-controlling interests of Emgesa and to the Ch$ 11.3 billion decrease of net income attributable to the non-controlling interests of Costanera in 2015. This was partially offset by a Ch$ 32.2 billion increase of net income attributable to the non-controlling interests of El Chocón in 2015, mainly due to corresponding increases and decreases in net income of our subsidiaries contributed to Endesa Américas in the Spin-offs. The controlling and economic interest of these subsidiaries is the same in both years.

This increase was explained by Ch$ 25.7 billion greater revenues in Costanera compared to 2014, comprised of Ch$ 8.8 billion due to tariff increases related to Resolution No. 482/2015, Ch$ 5.6 billion due to 1,195 GWh higher thermal dispatch, and Ch$ 3 billion related to its combined-cycle availability contracts executed with the Secretary of Energy. In addition, El Chocón’s revenues increased by Ch$ 9.8 billion, mostly due to Ch$ 7.6 billion related to 607 GWh higher hydroelectric dispatch because of improved hydrological conditions and Ch$ 2.6 billion attributable to higher tariffs related to Resolution No. 482/2015.

Revenues from operations in Colombia grew by 3.4%, or Ch$ 25.4 billion in 2015, due to Ch$ 60.2 billion higher physical sales of 1,113 GWh, mainly contracted sales, and Ch$ 90.2 billion increase related to higher sales price on the spot market as a result of drought caused by El Niño phenomenon. These increases were partially offset by a Ch$ 124.1 billion loss due to the devaluation of Colombian peso in relation to the Chilean peso, which resulted in a 16.5% decline in terms of Chilean peso in 2015 as compared to 2014.

Revenues from operations in Peru grew by 8.1%, or Ch$ 28.7 billion in 2015, due to the appreciation of Peruvian sol in relation to the Chilean peso resulted in a 2.4% increase in revenues, or Ch$ 52.8 billion compared to 2014. This was partly offset by a Ch$ 19.1 billion decrease from 687 GWh lower physical sales by primarily to distribution companies, and a Ch$ 4.8 billion decrease due to lower spot prices because of lower demand.

Operating Costs from Discontinued Operations

Operating costs consist primarily of energy purchases from third parties, fuel consumption, depreciation, amortization and impairment losses, maintenance costs, tolls paid to transmission companies, employee salaries and administrative and selling expenses.

In Argentina, operating costs decreased by Ch$ 6.0 billion or 39.7% compared to 2014. This decline was comprised of Ch$ 2.3 billion in Costanera and Ch$ 2.2 billion in El Chocón due lower energy purchases because of the termination of sale contracts, which were not renewed according to current regulation.

In Colombia, operating costs increased by Ch$ 101.2 billion or 45.9% in 2015, mainly attributable to Ch$ 95.2 billion higher energy purchases due higher spot prices, which in turn was as a result of the drought, and Ch$ 35.4 billion related to 550 MWh higher thermal generation. These increases were partially offset by a Ch$ 36.5 billion gain due to the devaluation of the Colombian peso in relation to the Chilean peso.

In Peru, operating costs increased by Ch$17.3 billion or 12.9%, in 2015 as compared to 2014, mainly due to a Ch$ 20.0 billion higher cost related to the appreciation of the Peruvian sol in relation to the Chilean peso. This increase was partially offset by a Ch$ 2.8 billion decrease related to lower spot prices.

Selling and Administrative Expenses from Discontinued Operations

Selling and administrative expenses relate to salaries, compensation, administrative expenses, depreciation, amortization and impairment losses and office materials and supplies.

Selling and administrative expenses from discontinued operations increased by Ch$ 36.5 billion, or 16.4%, during 2015 compared to 2014, mainly as explained below.

In Argentina, selling and administrative expenses increased by Ch$ 21.8 billion or 35.2% primarily due to higher payroll expenses of Ch$ 12.8 billion following increases in the workforce and in wages and benefits during 2015 and higher depreciation and amortization expenses of Ch$ 5.5 billion.

Table of Contents

In Peru, selling and administrative expenses increased by Ch$ 12.8 billion or 16.3% mainly due to higher depreciation and amortization expenses of Ch$ 3.8 billion and Ch$ 3.5 billion of impairment losses due to Ch$ 4.7 billion attributable to the impairment of debt in 2015.

Our operating margin, or operating income as a percentage of our revenues from discontinued operations, decreased to 43.1% as of December 31, 2015 as compared to 51.3% for 2014.

This was due to lower operating margins in Colombia and Peru, partially offset by higher operating margins in Argentina. Operating margin in Argentina improved from 26.6% to 33.7% mainly as a consequence of higher tariffs related to Resolution No. 482/2015 and higher dispatch. The lower operating margin in Colombia was due to the higher increase of operating costs of 33.6% in comparison to the increase of 3.4% of revenues, mainly related to devaluation of the Colombian peso in relation to the Chilean peso. The operating margin in Peru decreased from 39.9% to 36.5% mainly due its 14.2% increase in total operating costs in contrast with the increase of its revenues of 8.1%.

Financial Results from Discontinued Operations

Our net financial results for the year ended December 31, 2015 was a profit of Ch$ 67.7 billion, a Ch$ 59.1 billion increase compared to 2014. This result was mainly explained by a Ch$ 116.4 billion gain mainly due to a positive foreign currency exchange differences related to accounts receivable denominated in U.S. Dollars from the Vuelta de Obligado thermal plant (“VOSA”) of Ch$ 124.8 billion. This plant was financed through the contribution of outstanding debts of CAMMESA owed to our Argentine consolidated entities. These contributions were returned with interest according to the agreement (recorded as a financial income as explained below) and recognized in U.S. dollars, based on the exchange rate as of the date on which the agreement was signed. In December 2015, a technical report confirmed that the gas plant passed all operational tests. Therefore, we accounted for the effects of the dollarization of the receivables based on the current exchange rate between the Argentine peso and the U.S. Dollar.

This was partially offset by (i) Ch$ 34.7 billion lower financial income mainly due to Ch$ 84.5 billion due to a non-recurring income recognized in 2014 because of the renegotiation of the terms of Costanera’s debt with Mitsubishi Corporation (“MC”) in October 2014, partially offset by Ch$ 41.6 billion higher interest accrued in accounts receivable from VOSA and (ii) Ch$ 22.6 billion higher financial costs because of greater debt of Costanera with CAMMESA of Ch$ 14.8 billion.

Others from Discontinued Operations

Our share of the net profits (loss) of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method totaled Ch$ 38.7 billion for the year ended December 31, 2015, a 37.2% or Ch$ 22.9 billion decrease compared to 2014. This decrease was mainly a result of Ch$ 25.7 billion reduction in net profit from Enel Brasil primarily related to the distribution business.

Income Tax expenses from Discontinued Operations

Income tax was Ch$ 256.3 billion in 2015, a Ch$ 52.2 billion increase compared to 2014, mainly explained by Ch$ 53.1 billion higher expense in El Chocón due to improved financial results compared to the previous year due to the dollarization of the accounts receivable from VOSA.

The effective tax rate from discontinued operations was 38.4% in 2015 and 29.4% in 2014, mainly as result of higher taxes due to the devaluation of the Chilean peso in terms of U.S. dollar and in corporate tax rate in Colombia.

Our operating costs (excluding selling and administrative expenses) from continuing operations increased by Ch$ 255.3 billion, or 51.6%, in 2014 compared to 2013, mainly due to (i) Ch$ 164.0 billion greater purchases of energy on the spot market, principally as a consequence of the stoppage of Bocamina II thermal power plant from December 2013 through 2014 and (ii) Ch$ 93.9 billion higher fuel consumption costs mainly as a consequence of the full consolidation of GasAtacama since May 2014, which added Ch$ 53.9 billion and a Ch$ 35.0 billion increase associated with the San Isidro and Tarapaca thermal plants due to higher price of LNG.

Selling and administrative expenses from continuing operations increased by Ch$ 22.7 billion, or 11.0%, in 2014 compared to 2013, mainly due to (i) Ch$ 12.6 billion of impairment losses with respect to the Punta Alcalde project. On January 29, 2015, we halted development of the power plant and the related transmission project, in light of the changes requested by the Chilean Court, which may require major modifications to make the project economically and technologically more sustainable and (ii) Ch$ 8.7 billion higher charges of depreciation and amortization.

Financial Results from continuing operations

The net financial results for the year ended December 31, 2014 was a net expense of Ch$ 77.3 billion, an increase of Ch$ 3.4 billion, or 4.5%, in 2014 compared to 2013. This increase was mainly due to an increase in negative exchange differences of Ch$ 19.1 billion, mostly related to our financial derivative contracts. This was partially offset by (i) lower financial cost of Ch$ 4.3 billion, mainly due the decrease in the financial debt, and (ii) a gain for indexation adjustments of Ch$ 12.9 billion, mainly due to the positive variation of financial derivatives asset position over the UF.

Others from continuing operations

Our share of the net profits (loss) of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method totaled a loss of Ch$ 54.4 billion in 2014, a decrease of Ch$ 78.7 billion compared to 2013. This decrease was mainly due to the impairment loss of Ch$ 69.1 billion in connection with HidroAysén project, due to our decision not to proceed with this project. This decision was based on the uncertainty of recovering the investment made in the project, mainly as a consequence of the long judicial process in order to obtain environmental approvals.

Gain from other investments was Ch$ 42.7 billion in 2014, a gain of Ch$ 42.6 billion compared to 2013, primarily due to the revaluation of our pre-existing shareholding of 50% in GasAtacama Holding before the purchase of an additional 50% of GasAtacama Holding in April 2014 and the recognition of retained conversion differences in that investment at the acquisition date for the amount of Ch$ 42.6 billion.

Income Taxes

Total income tax increased by Ch$ 57.1 billion in 2014 compared to 2013 and the effective tax rate increased to 57.6% in 2014 from 16.7% in 2013, mainly due to increased charges of Ch$ 60.0 billion resulting from an adjustment as a net deferred tax liabilities as a result of the application of the tax reform enacted in Chile on September 29, 2014, which established a gradual increase in the taxation rate.

The increase in net income attributable to non-controlling interests of Ch$ 73.5 billion in 2014 compared to 2013 is principally from discontinued operations due to the Ch$ 42.5 billion increase of net income attributable to the non-controlling interests of Emgesa and to the Ch$ 18.6 billion increase of net income attributable to the non-controlling interests of Costanera for the corresponding year, all changes mainly due to increases and decreases in net income of our subsidiaries. The controlling and economic interest of these subsidiaries contributed to Endesa Américas in the Spin-Off is the same in both years.

Revenues from operations in Argentina decreased 19.9%, or Ch$ 26.2 billion, in 2014, mainly as a result of the devaluation of the Argentine peso in relation to the Chilean peso, which led to a 22.3% decrease, or Ch$ 23 billion, in 2014 when compared to 2013, partially offset by the impact of Resolution No. 529/2014 that updated tariffs and increased El Chocón’s revenues by Ch$ 1.5 billion. Costanera’s revenues also increased by Ch$ 1.5 billion related to its combined-cycle availability contract executed with the Secretary of Energy.

Total revenues from operations in Colombia increased by Ch$ 113.9 billion, or 17.8%, in 2014, mainly due to Ch$ 65 billion increase in energy sale revenues mainly due to higher spot price because of the drought and the appreciation of the Colombian peso in relation to the Chilean peso, which in both periods resulted in a 7.6% increase in terms of Chilean peso, or Ch$ 48 billion higher revenues in 2014 when compared to 2013.

Revenues from operations in Peru grew by 24.7%, or Ch$ 70.0 billion in 2014, mainly due to a 13.6% increase in electricity sales as a consequence of 417 GWh higher physical sales, amounting to Ch$ 43 billion and a Ch$ 27 billion increase as result of the appreciation of Peruvian sol in relation to the Chilean peso which resulted in a 9.6% increase in terms of Chilean peso when compared to 2013.

In Argentina, operating costs decreased by 58.3%, or Ch$ 21.3 billion, in 2014 compared to 2013, mainly due to an 18.2% decline in energy generation in Costanera which in turn reduced its procurement and service costs by Ch$ 17.5 billion. Additionally, El Chocón’s physical electricity generation increased 13.6%, resulting in a reduction in energy purchases by Ch$ 3.8 billion.

In Colombia, operating costs in the generation business increased by 7.8%, or Ch$ 15.8 billion, in 2014 compared to 2013, primarily due to a Ch$ 16.1 billion, increase in other variable procurement and service costs as a consequence of expenses related to environmental royalties and other technical support services.

In Peru, operating costs increased by 40.7% or Ch$ 38.7 billion, due to a Ch$ 14.0 billion higher fuel costs as a consequence of a 6.5% higher thermal generation as a result of the unavailability of some relevant generation units of the Peruvian system during the year, Ch$ 13.4 billion higher energy purchases in the spot market and Ch$ 12.1 billion higher transportation costs related to higher toll costs.

Selling and administrative expenses from discontinued operations increased by Ch$ 15.4 billion in 2014.

In Colombia, selling and administrative expenses increased by Ch$ 12.4 billion, mainly as a result of Ch$ 7.0 billion higher charges of depreciation, amortization and impairment losses and Ch$ 4.3 billion higher other fixed operating and higher payroll expenses related to the El Quimbo project. In Argentina, selling and administrative expenses rose by Ch$ 2.1 billion, primarily due to higher payroll expenses mostly due to salary increases during the year.

Our operating margin, or operating income as a percentage of revenues from discontinued operations, a measure of efficiency, increased to 51.3% in 2014 from 48.6% in 2013, mainly due to higher operating margins in Colombia.

The Colombian improvement in efficiency was mainly a result of Ch$ 113.9 billion increase in revenues due to higher average sale prices, coupled with decreased operating costs of Ch$ 15.9 billion due to greater hydroelectric generation.

Financial Results from Discontinued Operations

Our net financial results in 2014 was a gain of Ch$ 8.6 billion compared to an expense of Ch$ 63.1 billion in 2013. This improvement was mainly due to a Ch$ 84.5 billion non-recurrent increase in financial income primarily as a result of renegotiating of the terms of Costanera’s debt with Mitsubishi Corporation (“MC”) in October 2014, which resulted in US$ 107 million in higher financial income. In accordance with the terms, MC forgave accrued interest of US$ 66 million as of September 30, 2014.

Share of the profit or loss of investments accounted for using the equity method from Discontinued Operations

Our share of the net profits of investments accounted for under the equity method totaled Ch$ 61.6 billion as of December 2014, a 35.2% decrease compared to 2013. This decrease was mostly explained by Ch$ 32.2 billion lower net profit from Enel Brasil due to reduced distribution and generation profits as result of the drought that has affected Brazil since 2012.

Income Tax from Discontinued Operations

Income tax expenses increased by 21.5%, to Ch$ 204.1 billion, when compared to 2013, as a result of increased tax base in Colombia of Ch$ 11.5 billion and Ch$ 14.3 billion higher deferred taxes in Argentina related to Costanera’s debt renegotiation with MC.

The effective tax rate was 29.4% in 2014 and 30.7% in 2013. The decrease is mainly explained by the higher benefits in Colombia due to tax credit for properties, plants and equipment.

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources.

The following discussion of cash sources and uses reflects the key drivers of our cash flow.

We have a direct ownership in Pehuenche (92.7 %), Celta (96.2%) and GasAtacama (98.1%), our main Chilean consolidated subsidiaries. We, on a stand-alone basis, receive cash inflows from our own operating assets and from our subsidiaries, as well as from related companies in Chile. Our 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.

Our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by Ch$ 355 billion as of December 31, 2014. However, as of December 31, 2015, our current liabilities did not exceed our current assets. The 2014 amount does not represent material working capital deficits and cash flow generated from our business operations, as well as cash balances, borrowings from commercial banks and related companies, and ample access to capital markets were sufficient to satisfy all of our needs for working capital, debt service, dividends and routine capital expenditures, which we believe will also be sufficient in the foreseeable future.

Set forth below is a summary of our consolidated cash flow information (including both continued and discontinued operations) for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013:

For the year ended December 31, 2015, net cash flow from operating activities was Ch$ 901 billion, an increase of Ch$ 84 billion, or 10.3%, compared to Ch$ 817 billion for the same period in 2014. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in collections from the sale of goods and services of Ch$ 438 billion comprised of: Ch$ 286 billion from Endesa Chile, on a standalone basis, mainly due to an increase in physical sales and Ch$ 116 billion from the full consolidation of GasAtacama. This increase was partially offset by: (i) an increase in payments to suppliers of goods and services of Ch$ 252 billion comprised of: (a) Ch$ 86 billion from Endesa Chile, on a stand-alone basis, to third parties, which was mostly a consequence of higher variable procurement and services of Ch$ 39.5 billion, mostly attributable to costs related to the lease of Gener’s Nueva Renca combined-cycle power plant for use of Endesa Chile’s available LNG and Ch$ 36.9 billion higher transportation costs related to additional energy purchases, (b) Ch$ 80 billion from Emgesa as a consequence of Ch$ 82 billion higher energy purchases and (c) Ch$ 64 billion from the full inclusion of GasAtacama; and (ii) an increase in income tax payments of Ch$ 95 billion due to lower tax refunds for Endesa Chile and increased tax advances for Emgesa, in both cases as a consequence of higher sales (see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — A. Operating Results. — 2. Analysis of Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2015 and 2014”).

For the year ended December 31, 2014, net cash flow from operating activities was Ch$ 817 billion, an increase of Ch$ 109 billion, or 15.4%, compared to Ch$ 708 billion for the same period in 2013. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in collections from the sale of goods and services of Ch$ 510 billion, mainly in Chile (Ch$ 169 billion from Endesa Chile, on a stand-alone basis, mainly due to higher physical sales and Ch$ 122 billion from the full consolidation of GasAtacama) and a Ch$ 25 billion decrease in income taxes paid mainly attributable to higher tax refunds in Endesa Chile. This increase was partially offset by (i) the increase in payments to suppliers for goods and services of Ch$ 337 billion, mainly in Chile (Ch$ 205 billion from Endesa Chile, on a stand-alone basis, mainly due to Ch$ 164.0 billion greater purchases of energy on the spot market, principally as a consequence of the stoppage of Bocamina II coal fired power plant during 2014 and Ch$ 90 billion from the full consolidation of GasAtacama), and (ii) a Ch$ 54 billion decrease in collections from insurance policies and services, annual payments, and other benefits policies held mainly in Endesa Chile, on a stand-alone basis. In 2013, Endesa Chile received a Ch$ 72.2 billion insurance reimbursement for the loss of profits from the Bocamina I power plant and Ch$ 1.4 billion of material damages at the Bocamina II power plant, both related to the 2010 earthquake in Chile (see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — A. Operating Results. — 3. Analysis of Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2014 and 2013”).

For the year ended December 31, 2015, net cash used in investment activities was Ch$ 488 billion, mostly explained by the acquisition of property, plant and equipment of Ch$ 538 billion, mainly by Endesa Chile, on a stand-alone basis, related to the 150 MW Los Cóndores project and by Emgesa, related to the construction of El Quimbo (see “Item 4. Information of the Company — A. History and Development of the Company — Investment, Capital Expenditures and Divestitures”), which was partially offset by investments in time deposits with a maturity greater than 90 days of Ch$ 20 billion, proceeds from dividends classified as investment cash flow of Ch$ 11 billion, interest received of Ch$ 9 billion and loss of control of subsidiaries for Ch$ 7 billion, arising from the proceeds received for the sale of all of our shareholdings in Sociedad Concesionaria Túnel El Melón S.A.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, net cash used in investment activities was Ch$ 327 billion, mostly explained by the acquisition of property, plant and equipment of Ch$ 421 billion, mainly by Endesa Chile on a stand-alone basis and by Emgesa (see “Item 4. Information of the Company — A. History and Development of the Company — Investment, Capital Expenditures and Divestitures”), investments in time deposits with a maturity greater than 90 days of Ch$ 36 billion and the purchase of an additional 50% participation of GasAtacama for Ch$ 38 billion. All of which was partially offset by proceeds from dividends classified as investment cash flow of Ch$ 139 billion and interest received of Ch$ 12 billion.

For the year ended on December 31, 2015, cash used for financing activities increased to Ch$ 606 billion from Ch$ 452 billion in 2014. The main drivers are described below.

The aggregate cash outflows from financings were primarily due to:

 

    Ch$ 460 billion of payments of loans and bonds (including Ch$ 140 bonds for Endesa Chile, on a stand-alone basis, Ch$ 207 billion of payments of loans and bond for Emgesa, Ch$ 67 billion of loans by Egedel, among others).

 

    Ch$ 400 billion in dividend payments (including Ch$ 164 billion from Endesa Chile, on a stand-alone basis, Ch$ 191 billion from Emgesa, excluding dividends paid to us, Ch$ 34 billion from Generandes Perú, including Edegel and Chinango, excluding dividends paid to us, among others).

 

    Ch$ 153 billion of interest expense (including Ch$ 60 billion in Endesa Chile, on a stand-alone basis, Ch$ 80 billion in Emgesa, among others).

These outflows were partially offset by cash inflows primarily due to:

 

    Ch$ 79 billion in loans from related entities, mainly by Endesa Chile on a stand-alone basis.

 

    Ch$ 290 billion in loans by Emgesa.

 

    Ch$ 29 billion in loans by Edegel on a stand-alone basis.

 

    Ch$ 18 billion in loans by Chinango.

For the year ended on December 31, 2014, cash used for financing activities increased to Ch$ 452 billion from Ch$ 430 billion in 2013. The main drivers are described below.

The aggregate cash inflows from financings were primarily due to:

 

    Ch$ 222 billion in bond issuances by Endesa Chile.

 

    Ch$ 165 billion in bond issuances by Emgesa.

 

    Ch$ 28 billion in loans by Edegel on a stand-alone basis.

The aggregate cash outflows were primarily due to:

 

    Ch$ 369 billion in dividend payments (including Ch$ 177 billion from Endesa Chile, on a stand-alone basis, Ch$ 153 billion from Emgesa, excluding dividends paid to us, among others).

 

    Ch$ 145 billion of interest expense (including Ch$ 63 billion in Endesa Chile, on a stand-alone basis, Ch$ 66 billion in Emgesa, among others).

 

    Ch$ 118 billion on payments of loans and bonds from Endesa Chile on a stand-alone basis.

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

We coordinate the overall financing strategy of our controlled subsidiaries. Our operating subsidiaries independently develop their capital expenditure plans and finance their capital expansion programs through internally generated funds or direct financings. We have no legal obligations or other commitments to financially support our subsidiaries. In addition, and as disclosed later in this section, only defaults by certain Chilean subsidiaries could trigger a cross default for us. Our subsidiaries could be 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” and our contractual obligations table set forth below under “F. Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations.”

Having stated our corporate policy in connection with the financial autonomy that we expect from our subsidiaries, we have in the recent past, and to a very limited extent, provided financial support in Argentina in the form of intercompany loans and capital contributions in which debt was capitalized. We have also guaranteed a loan with a third party for an immaterial amount. Most of the loans have been provided by our wholly-owned investment vehicle, Endesa Argentina, using local funds such as dividends from other Argentine subsidiaries. However since March 1, 2016, after the separation of Endesa Américas from Endesa Chile, we no longer have foreign subsidiaries.

Additionally, information regarding our past structured loans to Costanera can be found in “Item 7 — Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions — B. Related Party Transactions.”

We believe that the level of such past financial support is insignificant in the context of our consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. As mentioned before, after the Spin-Off, Argentine subsidiaries are no longer our subsidiaries. We have accessed the international equity capital markets, with an SEC-registered ADS issuance on August 3, 1994. We have also issued bonds in the United States (“Yankee Bonds”). Since 1996, we and our subsidiary Pehuenche have issued a total of US$ 2.77 billion in Yankee Bonds.

The following table lists the Yankee Bonds issued by us outstanding as of December 31, 2015. The weighted average annual coupon interest rate for such bonds is 5.8%, without giving effect to each bond’s duration, or put options.

We frequently participate in the international commercial bank markets governed by the laws of the State of New York through syndicated senior unsecured loans. As of December 31, 2015, the amount outstanding or available for this bank loan is listed below:

 

Borrower

   Type      Maturity      Facility Amount      Amount Drawn  
                   (in millions of US$)      (in millions of US$)  

Endesa Chile

     Syndicated revolving loan         July 2019         200           

The revolving credit facility due July 2019 does 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 us 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. On February 29, 2016, we entered into a new syndicated senior unsecured revolving loan under similar conditions due February 2020, which permit to draw on up to an additional US$ 200 million in the aggregate, of which US$ 150 million have been drawn as of the date of this Report.

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 2013, we entered into 3-year bilateral revolving loans for an aggregate of UF 2.4 million (Ch$ 61 billion as of December 31, 2015) as shown below. These loans were closed voluntarily in January 2016, before their due date and were renewed for an aggregate amount of UF 2.8 million (Ch$ 73 billion as of December 31, 2015) with a 3-year term starting in March 2016.

 

Borrower

                   (in millions of UF)      (in millions of UF)  

Endesa Chile

     Bilateral revolving loan         February 2016         2.4           

As a result of the foregoing, we have access to fully committed undrawn revolving loans, both international and domestic, for up to approximately Ch$ 203 billion in the aggregate as of December 31, 2015 and Ch$ 251 billion in the aggregate (using 2015 year-end exchange rate), considering the renewal of our own bilateral revolving loans.

We also borrow routinely from uncommitted Chilean bank facilities with approved lines of credit for approximately Ch$ 113 billion in the aggregate, none of which are currently drawn. Unlike the committed lines described above, which are not subject to MAE conditions precedent prior to disbursements, these facilities are not guaranteed, and therefore could limit our liquidity under certain circumstances.

We can also tap the Chilean commercial paper market under programs that have been registered with the Chilean SVS for a maximum of US$ 200 million.

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, 2015, the most restrictive financial covenant affecting us was the Leverage Ratio in connection with the bilateral revolving loan facility that was closed in January 2016. Under such covenant, the maximum additional debt that could be incurred without a breach of the most restrictive covenant is Ch$ 4,053 billion. As of December 31, 2015 and as of the date of this Report, we and our subsidiaries 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.

The cross default provisions for our revolving credit facilities that are due in July 2019 and in February 2020, governed by the laws of the State of New York, refer 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 outstanding facility choose to do so.

Neither the local facility, which was terminated in January 2016, nor the new facility due in March 2019, have cross default provisions to debt other than the respective borrower’s own indebtedness.

 

77


Table of Contents

The Yankee Bonds’ cross default provisions may be triggered only by our or our Chilean subsidiaries’ debt. A matured default of either us or one of our 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, and in the specific case of the Yankee Bond issued by us in April 2014, maturing in 2024, the threshold is US$ 50 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. Likewise, our local bonds have no subsidiary cross default provisions.

All of our Yankee Bonds, including those registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, are unsecured and not subject to any guarantees by any of our subsidiaries or parent company, or contain any financial covenants.

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. Legal counsel informed us of the current legal restrictions regarding the payment of dividends or distributions to us in Chile. We are currently in compliance with the legal restrictions, and therefore, they currently do not affect the payment of dividends or distributions to us. Certain credit facilities and investment agreements of our subsidiaries may restrict the payment of dividends or distributions in certain special circumstances. For a description of liquidity risks resulting from our company status, see “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk factors — We depend in part on payments from our subsidiaries, jointly-controlled entities and associates to meet our payment obligations.”

Our estimated capital expenditures for 2016 trough 2020 amount to Ch$ 864 billion, of which Ch$ 809 billion are considered non-discretionary investments. Maintenance capital expenditures is considered non-discretionary because we need it 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 expansion projects under execution as non-discretionary expenditures, such as those for Los Cóndores, as well as water rights. We consider the remaining Ch$ 55 billion as discretionary capital expenditures. The latter includes expansion projects that are still under evaluation, in which case we would undertake them only if deemed profitable.

We do not currently anticipate liquidity shortfalls affecting our ability to satisfy the material obligations described in this Report. We expect to be able 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.

 

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

None.

 

D. Trend Information.

We are a company with electricity generation assets engaged, directly and through our subsidiaries and affiliates, in the generation of electricity in Chile. Our businesses are subject to a wide range of conditions that may result in significant variability in our earnings and cash flows from year to year.

Our net income is principally the result of operating income from our generation business, and non-operating income including primarily income arising from related companies accounted for under the equity method, interest expense and tax expense.

In our generation business, our operating income is impacted by the combined effect of several factors including our contracted electricity prices, prevailing hydrological conditions, the price of fuels used to generate thermal electricity, contracted obligations, generation mix, and the electricity prices prevailing in the spot market, among others. The combined effect of many, and sometimes all, of these factors impacts our operating income, which can be more or less favorable from year to year. For example, for the year ended December 31, 2015, our operating income increased by 59.3 % as compared to the same period in 2014 because of a better combination of these factors, as described in further detail in “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — A. Operating Results — 2. Analysis of results of operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.”

One of the main drivers of our results of operations of our electricity generation business is our sale prices and energy costs. Generally, the quantity of electricity sold has been relatively stable over time, with increases reflecting economic and demographic growth. Our profits from contracted sales are driven by the ability to generate or buy electricity at a cost lower than the contracted price. However, the applicable price for sales and purchases for electricity sold and purchased in the spot market is much harder to predict because the spot generation price is influenced by many factors. In general, abundant hydrological conditions lower spot prices while dry conditions increase them. However, our operating income may not be impacted even when we are required to buy at high prices in the spot market if our commercial policy is appropriately managed. Our goal is to have a conservative and well

balanced commercial policy, which aims at controlling relevant variables, provides stability to profits, and mitigates our exposure to the volatility of the spot market by contracting sales of a significant portion of our expected electricity generation through long-term electricity supply contracts. Our optimal level of electricity supply commitments is one that allows us to protect ourselves against low marginal cost conditions, such as those existing during the rainy season, while still taking advantage of high marginal cost conditions, such as higher spot market prices during dry years. In order to determine the optimal mix of long-term contracts and sales in the spot market: (i) we project our aggregate generation taking into consideration our generation mix, the incorporation of new projects under construction and a dry hydrology scenario, (ii) create demand estimates using standard economic theory, and (iii) forecast the system’s marginal cost using proprietary stochastic models.

Spot prices could also be affected by international prices for commodities such as fuel oil, coal and LNG, since Chile does not produce coal or hydrocarbons in any significant quantities. Fuel prices affect our results since commodity prices directly impact generation costs of our thermal power plants. Commodity prices, mainly oil, have materially decreased since the second half of 2014 and we expect that this trend will continue until the end of 2016, when oil prices are expected to begin increasing. This decreasing trend will likely lower our costs in the generation business, but they also depend on other factors such as spot prices, generation mix, hydrology conditions and our contractual surpluses/deficits. As described below, our contracted sales prices are indexed to coal, Brent and Henry Hub prices; therefore, sales prices will also be affected by variations of commodity prices, reducing in part our results. Commodities are contracted for long-term period (10-15 years) and we try to determine the indexation formula based on our cost forecasts. The indexation of long-term sale prices tries to hedge revenues and operating costs, which are also constantly monitored and analyzed to reach favorable hedge positions in the short-term as well.

Between January and March 2016, marginal costs in the SIC decreased compared to the previous year, was due to an increase of NCRE generation, a decrease of the commodity prices and a greater availability of thermal electricity generation. We purchased energy in the spot market at lower prices because our contracted sales exceeded our own generation. Also, we increased our thermal generation because of the availability of the Bocamina thermal power plants. If this combination of factors continues, it is likely to have a positive effect on our results.

In order to mitigate the risk of fuel costs increases, 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. Through an equity interest in GNL Quintero and GNL Chile, and a Long Term Gas Supply Agreement with GNL Chile, we are the only electricity company in Chile with direct access to the LNG terminal at Quintero Bay (the only facility of its kind in the SIC market). This enhances our position to manage fuel supply risks, especially when facing increasing fuel costs scenarios. This is becoming more important as there is an increasing trend to penalize fuel intensive technologies, such as coal and diesel, which have greater environmental impacts. However, in March 2016, Gener and Colbún, our main competitor in the SIC, entered into a 20-year agreements with GNL Chile for an additional capacity that is expected to be available by 2021. Both companies will have the same rights as the current terminal’s client, including us.

In July 2013, we successfully renegotiated a LNG sale and purchase agreement with British Gas. This renegotiation modified some conditions of the original contract, allowing us to secure our long-term LNG supply at competitive prices, with significant flexibility and at capacities sufficient for our current and future needs.

We also have contracted capacity in the LNG truck loading facility (TLF) in the Quintero LNG Terminal, allowing it to sell natural gas to industrial customers. In August 2014, the first load of LNG was successfully delivered to Maersk’s satellite regasification facility. During 2014, a 20-year sale and purchase agreement was signed with GasValpo (an unrelated gas distribution company) to distribute natural gas using the TLF for new customers in various cities in Chile. The first stage started its operations during August 2015, supplying the city of Talca (270 km south of Santiago). During November 2015, the first load of GNL was delivered to supply cities of Coquimbo and La Serena. During December 2015, the first load of GNL was delivered to supply the city Los Andes. Other plants are currently in advanced construction and will begin operation during the first quarter of 2016.

In January 2015, we entered into an agreement with Intergas (an unrelated gas distribution company) to supply LNG by trucks to the city of Temuco (700 km south of Santiago). This supply arrangement will start during the first quarter of 2016.

We also exercised a priority option to purchase additional regasification capacity as part of an expansion at the Quintero LNG Terminal. This allowed us to increase our regasification capacity from 3.2 million cubic meters per day to 5.4 million cubic meters per day during the first quarter of 2015. This expansion will allow our San Isidro and Quintero power plants to generate additional thermal electricity, to secure the LNG supply necessary for potential new power plants and to develop new businesses, such as the leasing agreement signed with Gener during 2015, which allowed us to utilize Gener’s Nueva Renca combined-cycle power plant to generate electricity with its LNG.

Between January to December 2015, 723 kTons of coal were consumed in Tarapacá and Bocamina power plants. Due to judicial issues, units I and II of Bocamina power plant stopped their operations for 8 and 18 months, respectively and therefore, deliveries from a short term agreements signed between Endesa Generación S.A. and us, a Spanish subsidiary of Enel, to supply the Bocamina power plants was deferred to the Tarapacá power plant. This agreement was effective until the end of 2015.

Between February 12, 2016 to February 26, 2016, due to high energy requirements by the Argentine system and pursuant to an existing agreement between Gener and other generators in the SING, including us, the GasAtacama power plant was able to export energy to Argentina. Total energy exported was approximately 40 GWh.

Other factors that affect operating income include transmission costs incurred when delivering electricity from its source to end consumers. The transmission charge is set by the Chilean regulator, and has tended to remain stable over time. A new transmission law is expected to be enacted during the third quarter of 2016 and it is expected that from 2019 to 2034, the transmission cost for the use of the main transmission system will progressively be transferred to customers, who will fully assume that cost beginning in 2035.

As a consequence of hydrological conditions, the stoppage of Bocamina I and II and our requirement to comply with our contracted obligations, we have been a net purchaser of electricity in the spot market since the second half of 2014, a trend that increased in 2015 compared to 2014. During this period, average spot prices (measured in US$/MWh) have been decreasing. The CDEC-SIC forecasted that the 2016 energy costs, and therefore spot prices, would decrease significantly compared to the average of previous years, mainly due to the entry of new efficient generation capacity, low cost of fuels and the increase of power plants based on NCRE. This decrease may be greater depending on the availability of water for generation.

NCRE energy generation will increase in the upcoming years. According to the Observatorio de la Inversión (Issue No. 14) prepared by the Sociedad de Fomento Fabril (“SOFOFA” in its Spanish acronym), the companies trade association, in December 2015, 279 NCRE projects, representing 25,010 MW of gross electricity production, were in development. It is estimated that in 2017, NCREs will represent approximately 40% of the estimated total energy generation in the SIC and SING systems for that year, with most NCREs concentrated in the SIC. This tendency is a direct consequence of several initiatives that the Chilean government is promoting with the “Energy Agenda” program, which aim to have by 2050, 70% of the national generation of electricity to be produced by NCRE.

Another main factor affecting our operating income is our contractual sales. Currently, our contracted sales are not standardized and the terms and conditions of these sale contracts are individually negotiated. Typically, when we negotiate these sale contracts, we try to set the price at a premium over future expected spot prices so as to mitigate the risk of future increases in spot prices. However, the premium can vary substantially depending on a variety of conditions. The proportion of contracted sales with regulated customers (distributors) has increased in relation to the non-regulated customers. This allows us to have consistent prices for longer periods, normally between 10 to 20 years, which combined with our conservative commercial policy, provides for our profitability. Most regulated tariffs are composed of 70% U.S. consumer price index (“CPI”) and 30% commodities prices. Recently, the tariff components have been 25% of U.S. CPI, 25% Henry Hub prices, 25% Brent prices and 25% coal prices, in order to better reflect higher commodity dependence. We expect that during the next three years, regulated tariff rates in Chile will remain fairly stable, without material changes.

Our tax expense increased significantly in 2014 as a consequence of a tax reform enacted in Chile on September 29, 2014, which established a gradual increase in the taxation rate until 2018. In accordance with IFRS, the main effect of the new Chilean tax reform was applied as an adjustment to our net deferred tax liabilities as of September 30, 2014 and recognized in our statement of comprehensive income. It is expected that this reform will slightly affect our results in the future, considering its main impacts on deferred taxes have been already recognized. For more detail see “Item 10. Additional Information — E. Taxation — Chilean Tax Considerations.”

For more detail on how each of these factors impact the net income of our electricity generation and distribution businesses, see “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.”

We expect reasonably good operating performance during the coming years given the macroeconomic perspective for Chile. Despite current uncertainties concerning the global economy, there is favorable expectation for Chile’s growth during the next five years, including an expected 1.9% growth in gross domestic product in 2016, based on Latin American Consensus Forecasts published by Consensus Economics Inc. on March 14, 2016, and the annual electricity demand growth over the next five years is expected to be 2.5%.

On the other hand, development of new generation facilities in Chile has always lagged behind demand growth. However, 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.

Enel, our ultimate controller, has announced that it will no longer build coal power plants because it considers the technology to be obsolete, and the company expects to have no CO2 emissions by 2050. Closure of these coal power plants are scheduled between now and 2040 or 2045. Their capacity must be substituted by other types of generation. Natural gas power plants are not an option because of the CO2 costs and current carbon capture and storage technology are not economically viable and therefore, the focus will be on NCRE.

We expect that average electricity prices will rise to recognize these higher costs. This could increase the value of our assets, especially in the case of hydroelectric power plants, which have lower production costs, and thus have greater profitability in scenarios of increasing prices to end customers. We expect this situation will also impact long term spot prices positively. Long term contracts awarded to our subsidiaries in different bids have already incorporated these expected price levels. Currently, 15.4% of our expected annual generation is sold under contracts with terms of at least ten years and an additional 70.5% under contracts with terms of at least five years.

There can be no assurance that past performance will be indicative of future performance with respect to our businesses. Any significant change with respect to hydrological conditions, fuel or electricity prices, among other factors, could affect our operating income in the generation business. More broadly, any significant change with respect to economic or population growth, as well as changes in the regulatory regimes in Chile, 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 2015 results compared with previous years, please see “— A. Operating Results — Results of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014” and “— A. Operating Results — Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.” 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, would have a negative impact on our capital expenditure plan and we have many sources of proven liquidity in the international and domestic capital markets. As of December 31, 2015, we are able to incur up to Ch$ 4,053 billion in incremental debt, without entering into a breach of the debt covenants, beyond current levels of consolidated indebtedness. We believe that we will continue to have similar comfortable levels of leverage capacity for the foreseeable future (see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — B. Liquidity and Capital Resources”).

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.

We are not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements.

B. Compensation.

At the OSM held on April 15, 2015, our shareholders approved the current compensation policy for the Board of Directors. Directors are paid a monthly fee depending on their attendance at Board meetings and their participation as Director of any of our subsidiaries. These monthly payments consist of a fixed compensation of UF 174 and a fee of UF 84 depending on attendance to Board meetings. The Chairman of the Board is entitled to double the compensation compared to other directors under this policy, while the Vice Chairman receives fixed compensation higher than the directors but lower than the Chairman. The members of our Directors’ Committee are paid a monthly fee of UF 58 and a fee of UF 28 depending on attendance to Directors’ Committee meetings with a limit of 12 sessions per year. If a Director serves on one or more Boards of Directors of the subsidiaries and/or related companies or serves as director of other companies or corporations in which the economic group holds an interest directly or indirectly, the Director can only receive compensation in one of these Boards of Directors. Executive Officers of our Company and/or of our subsidiaries or related companies will not receive compensation in the case that they serve as Director of any subsidiary, related company or are affiliated in any way to our Company.

In 2015, the total compensation paid to each of our directors, including fees for attending Directors’ Committee meetings, was as follows:

(1) Messrs. Viale, Mateo, Buresti, Vagliasindi and Ms. Gostinelli waived compensation for their positions as directors.

We do not disclose, to our shareholders or otherwise, any information about an individual Executive Officer’s compensation. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the aggregate gross compensation, paid or accrued, for all our Executive Officers, attributable to fiscal year 2015, was Ch$ 1,582 million in fixed compensation and Ch$ 466 million in variable compensation. Executive Officers are eligible for variable compensation under a bonus plan. The annual bonus plan is paid to our Executive Officers for achieving company-wide objectives and for their individual contribution to our results and objectives. The annual bonus plan provides for a range of bonus amounts according to seniority level and consists of a certain multiple of gross monthly salaries.

We entered into severance indemnity agreements with all of our Executive Officers, pursuant to which we will pay a severance indemnity in the event of voluntary resignation or termination by mutual agreement among the parties. The severance indemnity does not apply if the termination is due to willful misconduct, prohibited negotiations, unjustified absences or abandonment of duties, among other causes, as defined in Article 160 of the Chilean Labor Code. All of our employees are entitled to legal severance pay if terminated due to our needs, as defined in Article 161 of the Chilean Labor Code.

The amounts accrued in 2015 to provide severance indemnity to our Executive Officers totaled Ch$ 480.5 billion, of which Ch$ 208.3 billion was accrued during 2015. There are no other amounts set aside or accrued to provide for pension, retirement or similar benefits for our Executive Officers.

C. Board Practices.

Our Board of Directors in office as of December 31, 2015 was elected at the OSM held on April 27, 2015, for a three-year term which ends in April 2018. However, a new Board of Directors was elected at the OSM held on April 27, 2016 for a three-year term which end in April 2019. For information about each of the directors and the year that they began their service on the Board of Directors, see “— A. Directors and Senior Management” above. Members of the Board of Directors do not have service contracts with us or with any of our subsidiaries that provide them benefits upon termination of their service.

Corporate Governance

We are managed by a Board of Directors, which, in accordance with our by-laws, consists of nine directors who are elected by our shareholders at an OSM. Each director serves for a three-year term. Following the end of their term, they may be re-elected or replaced. Directors can be re-elected indefinitely. Staggered terms are not permitted under Chilean law. If a vacancy occurs on the Board of Directors 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 and representation of a company in all matters concerning its corporate purpose, subject to the provisions of the company’s by-laws and the stockholders’ resolutions. In addition to the by-laws, our Board of Directors has adopted regulations and policies that guide our corporate governance principles.

Our corporate governance policies are included in the following policies or procedures: the Charter Governing Executives, The Employee Code of Conduct, the Manual for the Management of Information of Interest to the Market” (the “Manual”), the Human Rights Policy (Política de Derechos Humanos), the Code of Ethics and a Zero Tolerance Anti-Corruption Plan (“ZTAC Plan”), the Penal Risk Prevention Model, the “Guidelines 231: Guidelines applicable to non-Italian subsidiaries in accordance with Legislative Decree No. 231 of June 8, 2001” and procedures issued in compliance with General Regulation No. 385 issued by the SVS.

The Charter Governing Executives 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 No. 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” (the “Manual”). This document addresses applicable standards regarding the information in connection with transactions of our securities and those of our affiliates, entered into by directors, management, principal executives, employees and other related parties, the existence of blackout periods for such transactions undertaken 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 in 2008 and is posted on our website at www.endesa.cl. In 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 apply to the members of our Board, as well as our executives and employees who have access to confidential information, and especially those who work in areas related to the securities markets.

Our Board of Directors approved a procedure for relationship between People Politically Exposed (Procedimiento Personas Expuestas y Conexas) and our Company, which established a specific regulation for their commercial and contractual relationships.

The Human Rights Policy incorporates and adapts the United Nations’ general principles related to human rights into the corporate reality.

In order to supplement the aforementioned corporate governance regulations, at its meeting held on June 24, 2010, our Board of Directors approved a Code of Ethics and a Zero Tolerance Anti-Corruption Plan (“ZTAC Plan”). The Code of Ethics is based on general principles such as impartiality, honesty, integrity and other ethical standards of similar importance, all of which are expected from our employees. The ZTAC Plan reinforces the principles included in the Code of Ethics, but 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, our Board approved the Penal Risk 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 managerial and supervision duties. The adoption of the Penal Risk Prevention Model 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 Penal Risk Prevention Officer, who was appointed by the Board at its meeting held on October 27, 2010. As of December 31, 2015 our Penal Risk Prevention Officer was Alain Rosolino, Internal Audit Officer of Enersis Américas and Enersis Chile.

On October 27, 2010, our Board of Directors approved the “Guidelines 231: Guidelines applicable to non-Italian subsidiaries in accordance with Legislative Decree No. 231 of June 8, 2001” (“Guidelines 231”). The Guidelines 231 is defined by Italian Legislative Decree No. 231, which was enacted on June 8, 2001. It establishes a compliance program that identifies the behaviors expected of related parties for the non-Italian subsidiaries of Enel. Given that our ultimate parent company, Enel, has to comply with Italian Legislative Decree No. 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 No. 20,393, these guidelines set 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. Legislative Decree No. 231 includes various activities of a preventive nature that are coherent with and integral to the requirements and compliance with Chilean Law No. 20,393, which deals with the criminal responsibility of legal entities. These guidelines are supplementary to the standards included in the Code of Ethics and the ZTAC Plan.

On November 29, 2012, the SVS issued General Regulation No. 341 which established regulations for the disclosure of information with respect to the standards of corporate governance compliance adopted by publicly held limited liability corporations and set the procedures, mechanisms and policies that are indicated in the Appendix to the regulation. The objective of this regulation is to provide credible information to investors with respect to good corporate governance policies and practices adopted by publicly held limited liability corporations, which include us, and permit entities like stock exchanges to produce their own analyses to help the various market participants to understand and evaluate the commitment of companies. General Regulation No. 341 was substituted by General Regulation No. 385, issued by the SVS on June 8, 2015. This regulation has similar objectives than the former General Regulation No. 341, but includes additional issues, by the way of separating each policy in several more detailed policies. Subjects such as non discrimination, inclusion and sustainability are particularly important in this new regulation. The Appendix of General Regulation No. 385 is divided into the following four sections with respect to which companies must report the corporate practices that have been adopted: (i) the functioning and composition of the board, (ii) relations between the company, shareholders, and the general public, (iii) risk management and control, and (iv) assessment by a third party. Publicly held limited liability corporations should send the information with respect to corporate governance practices to the SVS no later than March 31 of each year, using the contents of the Appendix to this regulation as criteria. If none of them is adopted, the company must explain its reasons to the SVS. The information should refer to December 31 of the calendar year prior to its dispatch. At the same time, such information should also be at the public’s disposal on the company’s website, and must be sent to the stock exchanges.

Compliance with the New York Stock Exchange Listing Standards on Corporate Governance

The following is a summary of the significant differences between our corporate governance practices and those applicable to U.S. domestic issuers under the corporate governance rules of the NYSE.

Independence and Functions of the Directors’ Committee (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 (“ESM”), our by-laws were amended and the Audit Committee was merged with the Directors’ Committee. According to our by-laws, all members of this Committee must satisfy the requirements of independence, as stipulated by the NYSE. Also, Chilean law requires that at least two thirds of the Directors’ Committee be independent directors. According to Chilean law, a member would not be considered independent if, at any time, within the last 18 months he: (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; and (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 customers. In case there are not sufficient independent directors on the Board to serve on the Directors’ Committee, Chilean law determines that the independent director nominates the rest of the members of the Directors’ Committee among the remaining 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 (Ch$ 38.4 billion as of December 31, 2015) 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, all members of the Audit Committee must be independent. The Audit Committee of a U.S. company must perform the functions detailed in, and otherwise comply with the requirements of NYSE Listed Company

Table of Contents

Manual Rules 303A.06 and 303A.07. As of July 31, 2005, non-U.S. companies have been required to comply with Rule 303A.06, but not with Rule 303A.07. Since July 31, 2005, we have complied with the independence and the functional requirement of Rule 303A.06.

On June 29, 2005, our Board of Directors created an Audit Committee, composed of three directors who were also members of the Board, as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (“SOX”) and the NYSE corporate governance rules. In April 2010, this Audit Committee was merged into the Directors’ Committee. Pursuant to our by-laws, all members of the Directors’ Committee must satisfy the requirements of independence, as stipulated by the NYSE. The Directors’ Committee is composed of three members of the Board and complies with Chilean law, as well as with the criteria and requirements of independence prescribed by the SOX, the SEC and the NYSE. As of the date of this Report, the Directors’ Committee complies with the conditions of the Audit Committee as required by the SOX, the SEC and the NYSE corporate governance rules. As a result, we have a single Committee, the Directors’ Committee, which includes among its functions the duties performed by the Audit Committee.

Our Directors’ Committee performs the following functions:

 

    review of financial statements and the reports of the external auditors prior to their submission for shareholders’ approval;

 

    formulate proposals to the Board of Directors, which will make its own proposals to shareholders’ meetings, for the selection of external auditors and private rating agencies;

 

    review of information related to our transactions with related parties and reports the opinion of the Directors’ Committee to the Board of Directors;

 

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

 

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

 

    provide 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;

 

    oversee the work of external auditors;

 

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

 

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

 

    elaborate on policies regarding employment of former members of the external auditing firm;

 

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

 

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

 

    any other function mandated to the committee by the by-laws, our Board of Directors or our shareholders.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

The NYSE’s corporate governance rules require U.S.-listed companies to adopt and disclose corporate governance guidelines. Chilean law provides for this practice through the disclosure of the procedures related to General Resolution No. 385 and the Manual. We have also adopted the codes of conduct described above, and at our ESM held in March 2006, we approved the inclusion of articles in our by-laws that govern the creation, composition, attributions, functions and compensation of both Directors’ and Audit Committees described above.

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 our collective bargaining agreements, we are obligated to make severance payments to all covered employees in cases of voluntary resignation or death in specified amounts that increase according to seniority and may exceed the amounts required under Chilean law.

Endesa Chile has four collective bargaining agreements in Chile, which will expire between 2015 and 2017.

 

E. Share Ownership.

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

Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions

 

A. Major Shareholders.

We have only one class of capital stock and Enersis Chile, our controlling shareholder, has no different voting rights than our other shareholders. As of April 26, 2016 our 8,201,754,580 shares of common stock outstanding were held by 15,934 stockholders of record. There were three record holders of our ADSs, as of such date.

It is not practicable for us to determine the number of our ADSs or our common shares beneficially owned in the United States, as the depositary only has knowledge of the record holders, including the Depositary Trust Company and its nominees. As such, we are not able to ascertain the domicile of the final beneficial holders represented by the 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.

On October 23, 2014, Endesa S.A., a Spanish subsidiary of Enel, sold its direct and indirect ownership interest in shares of Enersis Américas (formerly known as Enersis S.A.) to Enel Iberoamérica, a wholly-owned Spanish subsidiary of Enel. As a result of this transaction, Enel owned 60.6% of Enersis Américas through Enel Latinoamérica (40.3%) and Enel Iberoamérica (20.3%).

On March 1, 2016, our shares were assigned to Enersis Chile as a result of the demerger of Enersis Chile from Enersis Américas described above.

Enersis Chile is a company primarily engaged, through its subsidiaries and related companies, in the generation and distribution of electricity in Chile. Enersis Chile is controlled by Enel Iberoamérica, a Spanish subsidiary of Enel, which beneficially owns 60.6% of Enersis Chile’s outstanding capital stock.

Since June 25, 2009, Enel has been our ultimate parent company, by virtue of its beneficial shareholding of 60.6% of Enersis Américas and the spin-off of Enersis Chile by Enersis Américas. Enel continues to be our final controller and such control is exercised through Enersis Chile.

Enel is an Italian energy company with multinational operations in the power and gas markets. Enel operates in over 30 countries across 4 continents, producing energy through a net installed capacity of more than 89 GW and distributes electricity and gas through a network of approximately 1.9 million kilometers. With over 61 million users worldwide, Enel has the largest customer base among European competitors and figures among Europe’s leading power companies in terms of installed capacity and reported EBITDA.

 

B. Related Party Transactions.

Article 146 of Law 18,046 (the “Chilean Companies Act”) defines related-party transactions as all transactions involving a 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 board of directors or who control 10% or more of voting capital, or companies in which a board member, manager, administrator, senior officer or company liquidator has 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 acknowledgement and approval of the transaction by the Board (excluding the affected directors), by the ESM (in some cases, with requisite majority approval) and by any applicable regulatory procedures.

The aforementioned law, which also applies to our 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, our Board of Directors approved a related-party transaction policy (política de habitualidad) effective as of January 1, 2010. This policy was amended by our Board of Directors at the board meeting held on April 25, 2012. This policy is available on our website.

If a transaction is not in compliance with Article 146, this would not affect the transaction’s validity, but we or our 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 Chile, a subsidiary of Enersis Chile. The terms of our contracts with Chilectra Chile are regulated in accordance with the Chilean Electricity Law.

It is our policy that all of our and our Chilean subsidiaries’ cash inflows and outflows are managed through our centralized cash management policy in coordination with Enersis Chile. It is a common practice in Chile to transfer surplus funds from one company to another affiliate that has a cash deficit. These transactions are carried out through either short-term or structured inter-company loans. Under Chilean laws and regulations, such transactions must be carried out on an arm’s length basis. All of these transactions are subject to the supervision of our Directors’ Committee. As of December 31, 2015, these transactions were priced at TIP (a Chilean variable interest rate) plus 0.05% per month.

We have received short term loans from our related parties in Chile, primarily to satisfy working capital needs. As of December 31, 2015, the outstanding balance for such short term loans was US$ 295 million comprised of a US$248 million loan from Gas Atacama and a US$46 million from Pehuenche.

During the three-year period ended December 31, 2015, Costanera received one loan from us at a spread of 6.0% over LIBOR. This loan matured in November 2013, because it was contributed to Costanera in connection with its capital increase.

During 2015, we obtained four structured loans from Enersis Américas, primarily to satisfy working capital needs. As of December 31, 2015, the outstanding balance was comprised of a US$ 250 million loan denominated in U.S. dollars with a fixed interest rate of 1.38%.

Intercompany Arrangements Related to the Spin-Off

We do not own any of Endesa Américas’ common stock or ADSs and Endesa Américas does not own any of our common stock or ADSs. Under Chilean law, we remain jointly and severally liable for some obligations assumed by Endesa Américas pursuant to the Spin-Off. Such liability, however, will not extend to any obligation to a person or entity that has given its express consent relieving us of such liability and approving the Spin-Off.

There are a variety of contractual relationships between Endesa Américas and us to provide for ongoing relationships. They fall into two broad categories:

Arrangements Related to the Spin-Off. The separation of the two companies and the transfer of certain assets and liabilities owned by us to Endesa Américas were effected by the action of our shareholders at our ESM held on December 18, 2015.

Post-Spin-Off Intercompany Services. We entered into intercompany agreements with Endesa Américas under which we provide a variety of services to Endesa Américas following the Spin-Off. The services rendered to Endesa Américas include certain corporate functions, such as legal, tax services, investor relations. These services are provided and charged at market prices if there is a comparable service. If there are no comparable services in the market, they will be provided at cost plus a specified percentage.

We may also enter into a tax indemnity agreement with Enersis Américas pursuant to which Enersis Américas will indemnify us for net tax costs paid by us in connection with the Spin-Off. This indemnification would be applicable only if the Merger is not approved before December 31, 2017 due to reasons not attributable to us or Endesa Américas or if an event of force majeure has occurred.

As of the date of this Report, the transactions described above have not experienced material changes. For more information regarding transactions with related parties, refer to Note 9 of the Notes to our consolidated financial statements.

See “Item 18. Financial Statements.”

Legal Proceedings

We and our subsidiaries are parties to legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We believe 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, 2015 on the status of the material pending lawsuits that have been filed against us and our subsidiaries, please refer to Note 34.3 of the Notes to our consolidated financial statements. Please note that since March 1, 2016, Endesa Américas is the defendant instead of us for all legal proceedings originating from our previous non-Chilean businesses.

In relation to the legal proceedings reported in the Notes to our consolidated financial statements, we use the criteria of disclosing lawsuits above a minimum threshold of US$ 25 million of potential impact to us, and, in some cases, qualitative criteria according to the materiality of the impact in the conduct of our business. The lawsuit 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, accrued in the prior year, which cannot be less than the legal minimum of 30% of the annual net income. In the meeting held on April 27, 2015, the OSM agreed to distribute a definitive dividend of Ch$ 167,278,188,000 equivalent to Ch$ 20.39541 per share of common stock accrued in fiscal year 2014. This corresponds to a payout ratio of 50%, based on annual consolidated net income before negative goodwill amortization. On January 30, 2015, an interim dividend of Ch$ 3.44046 per share of common stock was paid as part of the definitive dividend, with the remainder of Ch$ 139,060,349,700 equivalent to Ch$ 16.95495 per share of common stock paid on May 25, 2015. On November 30, 2015, the Board of Directors agreed to distribute an interim dividend of Ch$ 3.55641 per share on January 29, 2016, accrued in fiscal year 2015. The aforementioned interim dividend will be deducted from the total dividend, which will be paid on May 24, 2016. The total dividend of Ch$ 196,434 million that has been agreed to be paid, corresponds to a payout ratio of 50%, based on annual consolidated net income. As a consequence of the spin-off approved at the ESM held on December 18, 2015, the remaining dividend will be divided in a determined proportion between our Company and Endesa Américas, which will correspond to Ch$ 11.02239 and Ch$ 9.37144 per share, respectively. The payment of dividends for fiscal year 2015 is based on the net income filed with the SVS. For further details, see “Item 3. Key Information — A. Selected Financial Data.”

In accordance with our current dividend policy, the interim dividend corresponds to 15% of liquid net income as of September 30, 2015. Additionally, our Board of Directors will propose a definitive dividend payout equal to 50% of the annual consolidated net income for fiscal year 2016. 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 2016 net income. The proposed dividend policy is subject to our Board of Director’s prerogative to change the amount and timing of the dividends under the circumstances at the time of the payment.

Enel, our ultimate controller, has stated its interest into modifying our current dividend payment policy progressively as follows: 50% of the annual consolidated net income for fiscal year 2016, 55% for fiscal year 2017, 60% for fiscal year 2018, 65% for fiscal year 2019 and 70% for fiscal year 2020. The payments of dividend are subject to legal restrictions, such as legal reserve requirements, capital and retained earnings criteria, and other contractual restrictions such as the non-default on credit agreements. However, these legal restrictions are not currently affecting our ability or any of our subsidiaries to pay dividends. (See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — B. Liquidity and Capital Resources” for further detail on our debt instruments).

Stockholders set dividend policies at each subsidiary and affiliate. We pay dividends to shareholders of record as of midnight of the fifth business day prior to the payment date. Holders of ADS on the applicable record dates will be entitled to participate in dividends.

(2) The U.S. dollar per ADS amount has been calculated by applying the exchange rate as of December 31 of each year. One ADS = 30 shares of common stock.

For a discussion of Chilean withholding taxes and access to the formal currency market in Chile in connection with the payment of dividends and sales of ADSs and the underlying common stock, see “Item 10. Additional Information — E. Taxation” and “Item 10. Additional Information — D. Exchange Controls.”

The financial statements must be audited in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards, and the auditor must comply with the U.S. and Commission standards for auditor independence. Note Article 2 of Regulation S-X, which contains requirements for qualifications and reports of accountants.

Other Considerations

KPMG, our registered independent public accountants, informed our Directors’ Committee that in their review of the affiliate structure and review of services provided to affiliates in contemplation of the registration of Endesa Américas in connection with the Spin-Off, they determined that impermissible services were provided by other member firms of KPMG International Cooperative, to companies ultimately controlled by Enel. By virtue of Enel being the common ultimate parent of Endesa Chile it was concluded that these entities are affiliates of Endesa Chile under SEC independence rules. None of the impermissible services were provided to Endesa Chile or entities “downstream” of Endesa Chile, and none of the services were provided by KPMG. The services provided to affiliates included elements of loaned personnel staff in Spain, legal advice specific to the application of regulations to employees in France, management functions related to an ongoing monitoring in Uruguay, and other activities and responsibilities that were concluded to be broker-dealer or investment banking services in Italy. Total fees for services related to these services provided to affiliates, which are not part of the consolidated group consisting of Endesa Chile and its consolidated entities and investments in associates and joint ventures, were approximately US$ 249,300.

KPMG considered whether the relationships noted above impacted its objectivity and ability to exercise impartial judgment with regard to its engagement as Endesa Chile’s auditors and have concluded that there has been no impairment of KPMG’s objectivity and ability to exercise impartial judgment. After taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the above matter and KPMG’s determination, our Directors’ Committee also concluded that KPMG’s objectivity and ability to exercise impartial judgment has not been impaired.

 

B. Significant Changes

 

On April 21, 2016, we completed the spin-off of Endesa Américas and since the conditions established under IFRS were met by December 31, 2015, the results of the non-Chilean businesses assigned to Endesa Américas were classified as discontinued operations. See “Introduction”, “Item 4. Information on the Company — A. History and Development of the Company — History” and Notes 4 and 39 of the Notes to our consolidated financial statements.

C. Markets.

In Chile, our common 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 42 shares as of the date of this Report. As of December 31, 2015, 223 companies had shares listed on the Santiago Stock Exchange. For the year ended 2015, the Santiago Stock Exchange accounted for 93.4% of our total equity traded in Chile and amounted to 1,009,217,281 shares. In addition, approximately 6.6% of our equity trading was conducted on the Electronic Stock Exchange, an electronic trading market that was created by banks and non-member brokerage houses, and finally, less than 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. when daylight saving energy is in place (or alternatively from November to March), 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 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. when daylight saving energy is in place (or alternatively from November to March), 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. When daylight saving energy is in place (or alternatively from November to March), 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$ 0.042 million as of December 31) and a free float representing at least 5% of the capital. The IPSA is calculated using the prices of the 40 shares with highest amounts traded on a quarterly basis, and with a market capitalization above US$ 200 million. The shares included in the IPSA and IGPA are weighted according to the weighted value of the shares traded. Enersis has been included in the IPSA since the last quarter of 1988. Endesa Chile has been included in the IPSA since its privatization in 1987.

Shares of our common stock have traded in the United States in the form of ADSs on the NYSE and Over the Counter (“OTC”) since 1994 under the ticker symbol “EOC”. Since the completion of the Spin-Off of Endesa Américas in April 2016, our ADSs currently trade under the ticker symbol “EOCC”. 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 (The “Depositary”), and the holders and beneficial owners from time to time of ADRs issued thereunder. 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 April 26, 2016, ADRs evidencing 9,559,707 ADSs (equivalent to 286,791,210 shares of common stock) were outstanding, representing 3.5% of the total number of outstanding shares. It is not practicable for us to determine the proportion of ADSs beneficially owned by U.S. final beneficial holders. Trading volume of our shares on the NYSE and other exchanges during 2015 amounted to approximately 27.4 million ADSs, which in turn was equivalent to US$ 1,120 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 brokers act as auctioneers 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.

Description of Share Capital

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

General

Shareholders’ rights in Chilean companies are governed by the company’s by-laws (Estatutos), which have the same purpose as the articles or the certificate of incorporation and the by-laws of a company incorporated in the United States, and by the Chilean Companies Act Law No. 18,046. 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 a book value or stock value higher that UF 5,000 (Ch$ 128 million as of December 31, 2015) do not have the option to bring the procedure to the courts.

The Chilean securities markets are principally regulated by the SVS under Securities Market Law, No. 18,045, and the Chilean Companies Act. These two laws state the disclosure requirements, restrictions on insider trading and price manipulation, and provide protection to 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, state rules regarding takeovers, tender offers, transactions with related parties, qualified majorities, share repurchases, directors’ committees, independent directors, stock options and derivative actions.

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 ADSs are deemed to represent the shares of common stock underlying the 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 by-laws 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 consists of nine members who are appointed by shareholders at the OSM and are elected for a three year term, 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.

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.”

Table of Contents

Agreements entered into by us with related parties can only be executed when such agreements serve our interest, 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 by-laws provide that every agreement or contract that we enter into with our controlling shareholder, our directors or executives, or with our 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 by-laws 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, our capital is comprised of only one class of shares, all of which are ordinary shares and have the same rights.

Our by-laws do not contain any provisions relating to:

 

    redemption provisions;

 

    sinking funds; or

 

    liability for capital reductions by us.

Under Chilean law, the rights of our stockholders may only be modified by an amendment to the by-laws 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 the subscriber 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 by-laws provide otherwise. If a subscriber does not fully pay for shares for which the subscriber 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 hold 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), these 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 authorizes (by two thirds of the voting shares) a reduction of 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, 2015, our subscribed and fully paid capital totaled Ch$ 553 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. 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 27, 2015. 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, with no new constitution of the meeting or 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. This 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 company’s domicile;

 

    a decrease of corporate capital;

 

    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 company, 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;

 

101


Table of Contents
    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 company’s own shares;

 

    other actions established by the by-laws or the laws;

 

    certain remedies for the nullification of the company’s by-laws;

 

    inclusion in the by-laws 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; and

 

    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 U.S. securities laws regarding the solicitation of proxies. However, shareholders are entitled to examine the financial statements and corporate 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 our website. In the case of an OSM, our annual report of activities, which includes audited financial statements, must also be made available to shareholders and published on our 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; or

 

    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 their comments and proposals to the company, 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.

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 us as of midnight on the fifth business day 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.

Table of Contents

There are no limitations imposed by Chilean law or our by-laws 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 by-laws, to vote or cause to be voted (or grant a discretionary proxy to the Chairman of the Board of Directors or to a person designated by the Chairman of the Board of Directors 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, or by a person designated by the Chairman of the Board, 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 us when preparing financial statements to be submitted to the SVS), unless and except to the extent we have 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 shareholders in cash, or in our shares, or in shares of publicly held corporations owned by us. 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 to the volunteer Fire Department.

In the event of our liquidation, the shareholders 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 our 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.

Table of Contents

Acquisition of Shares

No provisions in our by-laws 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 by-laws 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 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. 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 Act 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 website, 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;

 

    the merger of the company with another company;

 

    disposition of 50% or more of the assets of the company, 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 company, 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;

    such other causes as may be established by the law or by the company’s by-laws.

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 than 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. We are a Title XII Company since 1987 and we are approved by the Risk Classification Committee.

Title XII companies are required to have by-laws that: limit the ownership of any shareholder to a specified maximum percentage; require that certain actions be taken only at a meeting of the shareholders; and give the shareholders the right to approve certain investment and financing policies.

Registrations and Transfers

Shares issued by us are registered with an administrative agent named DCV Registros S.A. This entity is also responsible for our shareholders registry. In case of jointly-owned shares, an attorney-in-fact must be appointed to represent the joint owners in dealing with us.

 

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

In connection with 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 company. Pursuant to the Foreign Investment Contract, the foreign exchange for payments and distributions with respect to ADSs could be purchased in either the Formal Exchange Market or the Informal Exchange Market, but such payments needed to be 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 terms of Chapter XXVI still apply. 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 our liquidation, merger or consolidation; 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 stated 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 stated 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 states 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.

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 states that if the Central Bank of Chile has not acted on such request within seven banking days, the request will be deemed approved.

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.

 

E. Taxation.

Chilean Tax Considerations

The following discussion summarizes material Chilean income and withholding tax consequences to foreign holders arising from the ownership and disposition of shares and ADSs and, to the extent any are issued, rights and ADS rights. 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 shares or ADSs and rights or ADS rights, if any, 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.

Table of Contents

The summary that follows is based on Chilean law, 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: The following taxation of cash dividends and property distributions applies until 2016. 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 Chilean corporate income tax paid by the issuer. From 2004 through 2010, the Chilean corporate income tax rate was 17% and from 2011 until 2014, the rate was 20%.

In September 2014, a tax reform was enacted (Law 20,780) which, among other topics, progressively increased the corporate income tax (“CIT”). The CIT rate will be adjusted as follows: in 2014 it increased from 20% to 21%; in 2015 it increased to 22.5%; in 2016 it increases to 24%; in 2017, depending on which of the two new alternative systems enacted as part of the 2014 tax reform (discussed below) is chosen, the rate increases to 25% for companies electing the accrued income basis and 25.5% for companies electing the cash basis for shareholders. As of 2018, the CIT rate will remain at 25% for companies that elected the accrued income basis and will increase to 27% for companies that elected the cash basis for shareholders.

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 22.5 % (CIT rate for 2015) and a distribution of 50% of the net income of the company distributable after payment of the Chilean corporate income tax:

Table of Contents

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 rates prevailing until 2015, the Effective Dividend Withholding Rate is

(35%-22.5%) / (100%-22.5%) = 16.13%

Dividends are generally assumed to have been paid out of our oldest retained profits for purposes of determining the level of Chilean corporate income tax that was paid by us. For information as to our retained earnings for tax purposes and the tax credit available on the distribution of such retained earnings, see Note 17 of the Notes to our consolidated financial statements.

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 CIT credit against the Chilean withholding tax: These cases are when: (i) profits paid as dividends (following the seniority rule indicated above) exceed a company’s taxable income (such dividend distributions in excess of a 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 CIT 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 CIT 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 CIT credit.

2) Circumstances where dividends have been attributed to income exempted from all the Chilean income taxes: In these cases, dividends distributed by a 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 22.5% Chilean CIT credit is applicable. This provisional 22.5% Chilean corporate income tax credit must be confirmed with the information of a company’s taxable income as of December 31 of the year in which the dividend was paid. A 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 certain credits in Chile against income taxes paid abroad, or “foreign tax credit”: This occurs when dividends distributed by the Chilean company have income generated by companies domiciled in third countries as their source. 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 a Chilean company.

New System in effect starting in 2017

The tax reform released in September 2014 created two alternative mechanisms of shareholder-level income taxation beginning on January 1, 2017: a) accrued income basis (known as attributed-income system in Chile) shareholder taxation and b) cash basis (known as partially-integrated system in Chile and most similar to the current system) shareholder taxation. On February 8, 2016, Law 20,899 was enacted, which made adjustments to the tax reform released in September 2014. Among other adjustments, Law 20,899 established that taxpayers whose owners (partners or shareholders) are exclusively individual persons may choose to apply either of the aforementioned systems. The selection should be made before the end of 2016. Once the election is made, it will remain in effect for five years. If no regime is chosen by a taxpayer whose owners are individual persons, the law states that the default system will be the accrued income basis. For other taxpayers, whose owners are not exclusively individual persons, the cash basis system (partially-integrated system) must be used.

In addition, the aforementioned Law 20,899, expanded the 100% CIT credit against the Chilean shareholder tax to taxpayers who are residents in countries with which Chile has an effective or signed tax treaty to avoid international double taxation prior to January 1, 2017, even if not in force as of such date. This is currently the status of the treaty signed between Chile and United States. This temporary rule will be in force from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2019.

  a) Accrued income basis

Shareholders would be taxed in Chile on income attributed to them as of the end of the tax year in which the income is generated, eliminating the taxable profits fund ledger (“FUT” in its Spanish acronym). These profits would be taxed at the shareholder level whether or not they are distributed. The underlying CIT paid at the entity level may be used by shareholders as a credit to reduce the Chilean shareholder tax. Therefore, the total company and shareholder Chilean income tax burden remains at 35%. Future distributions are not subject to taxation.

Taxpayers will be taxed on the income of companies in which they have an interest in the year such income is recognized, regardless of whether actual distributions are made, with the corresponding credit.

Taxation in two stages

 

•       Company:      25% of accrued profits (using the maximum CIT applicable as of 2018).
  Shareholder:      35% of accrued profits (whether or not distributions are received, with 100% credit of the CIT paid, resulting in an effective tax rate to the shareholder of 10%).

Total Tax Burden: 35%

Progressive CIT tax rate increase: 21% in 2014, 22.5% in 2015, 24% in 2016 and 25% as of 2017.

Advantages to accrued income tax basis:

 

    CIT Rate of 25% vs. 27% for the cash basis.
    Shareholders are granted 100% credit of taxes paid by a company.

Disadvantages to accrued income tax basis:

 

    Shareholders are taxed on undistributed profits.
    Shareholders of record must pay tax by December 31st (regardless of having received dividends).
    Complex management for companies.

 

  b) Cash basis

A company pays CIT on its annual result. Foreign and local individual shareholders will only pay in Chile the relevant tax on effective profit distributions and will be allowed to use the tax paid by the distributing company as credit, with certain limitations. Only 65% of the CIT is creditable against the 35% shareholder-level tax (as opposed to 100% under the current FUT regime and under the accrued income basis). However, if there is an effective or signed tax treaty with Chile before January 1, 2017 (even if not yet in effect), the CIT is fully creditable against the 35% shareholder tax.

Taxation in two stages

 

•       Company:      27% of accrued profits (using the maximum CIT applicable from 2018 and forward).
•       Shareholder:      35% of cash disbursement (65% of CIT tax is creditable against the shareholder level tax, resulting in an effective tax rate to the shareholder of 17.5%. However, if the shareholder is a resident of a country with an effective or signed tax treaty with Chile before January 1, 2017 (even if not yet in effect), CIT tax is fully creditable, resulting in an effective tax rate to the shareholder of 8%).

Total Tax Burden: 44.45% (35% for residents of countries with tax treaties)

Advantages to cash basis:

 

    Shareholders are only taxed on actual distributions.
    Shareholders must pay taxes only if they hold the share on the dividend distribution date.

 

108


Table of Contents

Disadvantages to cash basis:

 

    CIT Rate of 27% versus 25% for the accrued income basis.
    Only shareholders residing in countries with an effective or signed tax treaty with Chile before January 1, 2017 (even if not yet in effect), are granted full CIT credit (others 65%).

Taxation on sale or exchange of ADSs, outside of 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) the general tax regime, with a 22.5% Chilean corporate income tax and a 35% Chilean withholding tax, the former being creditable against the latter; or (b) a 22.5% 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 and to the extent we issue any rights or ADS rights, the receipt of rights or ADS rights by a foreign holder of shares or ADSs pursuant to 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 any 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.

Currently, there are no rights that are outstanding.

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 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

Table of Contents

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;

 

    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 will be a “U.S. Holder” for purposes of this discussion if you become 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 that we will not be 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

The following discussion is based on the current regime for taxation of cash dividends and distributions applicable in Chile until 2016. For 2017 and later, the U.S. federal income tax treatment will depend on which of the two regimes we elect to adopt. See “— Chilean Tax Considerations — Taxation of shares and ADSs — Taxation of Cash Dividends and Property Distributions” above.

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.

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. Beneficial owners should consult their tax advisors to determine whether the favorable rate will apply to dividends they receive and whether they are subject to any special rules that limit their 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 the beneficial owner’s, 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 “— Chilean Tax Considerations — Taxation of Shares and ADSs — Taxation of Cash Dividends and Property Distributions” above) 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 the beneficial owner’s tax advisor regarding the availability of foreign tax credits in the beneficial owner’s particular circumstances. Instead of claiming a credit, a beneficial owner may, at the beneficial owner’s election, deduct such Chilean taxes in computing the beneficial owner’s 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 “— 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 the beneficial owner’s U.S. federal income tax liability.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

We believe that we will not be a “passive foreign investment company” (“PFIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our 2016 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 to

 

111


Table of Contents

become a PFIC for any 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. Beneficial owners should consult their tax advisors regarding the consequences to them 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 the beneficial owner is not subject to backup withholding.

The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a beneficial owner will be allowed as a credit against the beneficial owner’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle the beneficial owner to a refund, provided that the required information is furnished in a timely fashion 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 or ADSs, less certain deductions. A beneficial owner should consult the beneficial owner’s tax advisor regarding the possible application of this legislation in the beneficial owner’s particular circumstances.

Beneficial owners should consult their tax advisors with respect to the particular consequences to them of receiving, owning or disposing of shares or ADSs.

Item 11.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to risks arising from changes in commodity prices, interest rates and foreign exchange rates that affect the generation business in Chile. These risks are monitored and managed by us in coordination with Enersis Chile, our parent company. Our Board of Directors approves risk management policies at all levels.

Table of Contents

Commodity Price Risk

In our electricity generation business, we are exposed to market risks arising from the price volatility of electricity, natural gas, diesel oil, and coal. We seek to ensure our fuel supply by securing long-term contracts with our suppliers for periods that are expected to match the lifetime of our generation assets. These contracts generally have provisions that allow us to purchase natural gas with a pricing formula that combines Henry Hub natural gas and Brent diesel oil at market prices prevailing at the time the purchase occurs. As of December 31, 2015 we held contracts classified as derivative financial instruments related to diesel oil (133,058 barrels of Brent diesel oil). As of December 31, 2014 we held contracts classified as financial instruments related to natural gas and diesel oil (350,000 MMBTU of Henry Hub and 266,000 barrels of Brent diesel oil).

In our coal-burning power plants the dispatch or bidding 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 contracted sale prices according to indexing formulas. Due to the drought conditions in the past several years in Chile and the price volatility of coal, we hedged this risk with commodity instruments available in the international markets. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, we did not hold any contracts classified as either derivative financial instruments or financial instruments related either to coal or petroleum based liquid fuel.

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, 2015 and 2014, we did not hold electricity price-sensitive instruments.

We are continually analyzing strategies to hedge commodity price risk, like transferring commodity price variations to the customer’s contract prices and/or permanently adjusting commodity indexed price formulas for new Power Purchase Agreements (“PPAs”) according to our exposure and/or analyzing ways to mitigate risk through hydrological insurance in dry years. In the future we may use price-sensitive instruments.

Interest Rate Risk

At both December 31, 2015 and 2014, 8%, of our outstanding debt obligations were subject to variable 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.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014 we did not hold derivatives to hedge our interest rate risk.

Foreign Currency Risk

Our policy seeks to maintain a balance between the currency in which cash flows are indexed and the currency of the debt of each company. Most of our subsidiaries have access to funding in the same currency as their revenues, therefore reducing the exchange rate volatility impact. In some cases, we cannot fully benefit from this, and therefore, we try to manage the exposure with financial derivatives such as cross currency swaps or currency forwards, among others. However, this may not always be possible under reasonable terms due to market conditions.

Item 14. Material Modifications to the Rights of Security Holders and Use of Proceeds

Item 15. Controls and Procedures

 

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a)-15(e) and 15d -15(e) under the Exchange Act) for the year ended December 31, 2015.

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, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Based upon our 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 we file and submit 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 our 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.

(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

As required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining “adequate internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in Rule 13a -15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our 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, 2015. The assessment was based on criteria established in “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO 2013 framework”). Based on the assessment, our management has concluded that as of December 31, 2015, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.

(c) Attestation Report

Our independent registered public accounting firm has audited the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015. Their attestation report appears on page F-3.

(d) Changes in internal control

During our first half of 2015, we finalized the implementation in our Argentine, Chilean and Peruvian operations of our new “Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Model”, which applies an end-to-end approach in order to enhance the design and documentation of the internal control over financial reporting processes and their related monitoring to maintain suitable oversight over our financial reporting. We are expecting to implement during the first half of 2016 the new model in our Colombian companies and processes.

 

117


Table of Contents

With the exception of the implementation described in previous paragraph, there are no additional changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) or Rule 15d-15(d) under the Exchange Act that occurred during 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting model.

 

Item 16. Reserved

Item 16A. Audit Committee Financial Expert

As of April 27, 2015 the Directors’ Committee (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

Our standards of ethical conduct are governed by means of the following six corporate rulings or policies: the Charter Governing Executives (Estatuto del Directivo), the Employee Code of Conduct, the Code of Ethics, the Zero Tolerance Anti-Corruption Plan (the “ZTAC Plan”), the Human Rights Policy 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 May 2003 and is applicable to all executives contractually related to us or our controlled subsidiaries in which we are the majority shareholder, 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 our 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 our Board of Directors in May 2008 and amended in February 2010, addresses the following issues: applicable standards and blackout periods regarding the information in connection with transactions of our securities or those of our affiliates, entered into by directors, management, principal executives, employees 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.

In addition to the corporate governance rules described above, our Board 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 values 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 bribes, preferential treatment, and other similar matters.

On October 30, 2013, the Board approved the Human Rights Policy, which incorporated and adapted the United Nations general principles related to human rights into the corporate reality.

Table of Contents

During fiscal year 2015, there have been no amendments to any provisions of the documents described above. No waivers from any provisions of the Charter Governing Executives, the Employee Code of Conduct, 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 2015.

 

Item 16C.     Principal Accountant Fees and Services

The following table provides information on the aggregate fees for approved services billed by our independent registered accounting firm, as well as the other members firms and their respective affiliates, by type of services for the periods indicated.

Total

     1,776.50         847.20     

 

(1) The increase in audit fees was mainly due to the approval of non-recurrent audit services related to the group’s reorganization in the amount of Ch$ 1,011.67 million.
(2) The increase in audit-related fees was due to services related Endesa Chile’s internal control processes (“Mappatura”) in the amount of Ch$ 87.17 million.

All of the fees disclosed under audit-related fees and all other fees were pre-approved by the Directors’ 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.

Directors’ 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 their own external auditors.

The Directors’ Committee (which performs the functions of the Audit Committee), acting through the CFO, manages appointment proposals, reviews engagement letters, negotiates fees, ensures quality control 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 our 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 us.

Fees payable in connection with recurring audit services are pre-approved as part of our annual budget. Fees payable in connection with non-recurring audit services, once they have been analyzed by the CFO, 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 expected to perform the service must request that the CFO review the nature of the service to be provided.

 

    The CFO then analyzes the request and requires the selected audit firm to 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 denial.

The Directors’ Committee has designed, approved, and implemented the necessary procedures to fulfill the new requirements described in SEC release number 34-53677, File No. PCAOB-2006-01 (Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Certain Tax Services).

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, 2015 and 2014, 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, 2015. 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 33.52 percent and 34.13 percent of the Company’s consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and ThCh$ 321,253,877, ThCh$ 345,341,681 and ThCh$ 220,964,452 of the Company’s consolidated profit from discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In addition, we did not audit the financial statements of Enel Brasil S.A. (a 38.64 percent owner investee company). The Company’s investment in Enel Brasil S.A. as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 was ThCh$ 444,182,602 and ThCh$ 538,876,929, respectively, and its equity in earnings was ThCh$36,473,505, ThCh$62,181,301 and ThCh$94,402,624 for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, 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.

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, 2015 and 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2015, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

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, 2015, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated April 29, 2016, 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 the internal control over financial reporting of Endesa-Chile as of December 31, 2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) 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 the 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, 2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

  2.1

Accounting principles

The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2015 of Endesa Chile, approved by the Company’s Board of Directors at its meeting held on April 28, 2016, have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

Table of Contents

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared under going concern assumptions on a historical cost basis except, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), those assets and liabilities that are measured at a fair value and those non-current assets and disposal groups held for sale, which are recognized at the carrying amount or the fair value less cost of disposal, whichever is lower (see Note 3).

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared from accounting records maintained by the Company and its subsidiaries. Each entity prepares its financial statements according to the accounting principles and standards in force in each country, and the necessary adjustments and reclassifications have been made in the consolidation process in order to present the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS.

These consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of Chilean pesos (unless expressly stated otherwise), as the Chilean peso is the functional currency of the Company. Foreign operations are reported in accordance with the accounting policies stated in Notes 2.6 and 3.m.

2.2   New accounting pronouncements

a)   Accounting pronouncements effective from January 1, 2015:

 

     Standards, Interpretations and Amendments         Mandatory
Application for:        
     
   

Amendment to IAS 19: Employee Benefits

 

The purpose of this amendment is to simplify the accounting for contributions from employees or third parties that are not determined on the basis of an employee’s years of service, such as employee contributions calculated according to a fixed percentage of salary.

 

      Annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014.
     
   

Improvements to IFRS (2010-2012 and 2011-2013 Cycles)

 

These are a set of improvements that were necessary, but not urgent, and that amend the following standards: IFRS 2, IFRS 3, IFRS 8, IFRS 13, IAS 16, IAS 24, IAS 38 and IAS 40.

 

      Annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014.

The new interpretation and amendments adopted, which went into effect on January 1, 2015, had no significant effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Endesa Chile and its subsidiaries.

b)     Accounting pronouncements effective from January 1, 2016 and subsequent periods:

As of the date of issue of these consolidated financial statements, the following accounting pronouncements had been issued by the IASB, but their application was not yet mandatory:

 

     Standards, Interpretations and Amendments         Mandatory
Application for:        
     
   

Amendment to IFRS 11: Joint Arrangements

 

This amendment states that the accounting standards contained in IFRS 3 and other standards that are applicable to business combinations accounting must be applied to the accounting for acquiring an interest in a joint operation in which the activities constitutes a business.

 

      Annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016.
     
   

Amendment to IAS 16 and IAS 38: Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortization

 

The amendment to IAS 16 explicitly forbids the use of revenue-based depreciation for property, plant and equipment. The amendment to IAS 38 introduces the rebuttable presumption that, for intangible assets, the revenue-based amortization method is inappropriate and establishes two limited exceptions.

 

      Annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016.
     
   

Improvements to IFRS (2012-2014 Cycles)

 

These are a set of improvements that were necessary, but not urgent, and that amend the following standards IFRS 5, IFRS7, IAS19 and IAS 34.    

 

      Annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016.

 

 

F-19


Table of Contents
     Standards, Interpretations and Amendments         Mandatory
Application for:        
     
   

Amendment to IFRS 10 and IAS 28: Sale or Contribution of Assets

 

The amendment corrects an inconsistency between IFRS 10 and IAS 28 relating to the accounting treatment of the sale or contributions of assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture.

 

      Effective date deferred indefinitely.
     
   

Amendment to IAS 27: Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements

 

This amendment allows entities to use the equity method to account for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in their separate financial statements. The objective of the amendment is to minimize the costs associated with complying with the IFRS, particularly for those entities applying IFRS for the first time, without reducing the information available to investors.

 

      Annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016.
     
   

Amendment to IAS 1: Disclosure Initiative

 

The IASB has issued amendments to IAS 1 as part of its principal initiative to improve the presentation and disclosure of information in financial statements. These amendments are designed to assist companies in applying professional judgment to determine the disclosures that should be included in their financial statements.

 

      Annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016.
     
   

Amendment to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28: Investment Entities, Application of the Consolidation Exception

 

The amendments, which have a restricted scope, introduce clarifications to the requirements for the accounting of investment entities. The modifications also provide relief in some circumstances, which will reduce the costs of applying the Standards.

 

      Annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016.
     
   

IFRS 9: Financial Instruments

 

This is the final version of the standard issued in July 2014 and which completes the IASB project to replace IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”. This project was divided into 3 phases:

 

Phase 1 – Classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. This introduces a logical focus for the classification of financial assets driven by cash flow characteristics and the business model. This new model also results in a single impairment model being applied to all financial instruments.

 

Phase 2 – Impairment methodology. The objective is a more timely recognition of expected credit losses. The standard requires entities to account for expected credit losses from the time when financial instruments are first recognized in the financial statements.

 

Phase 3 – Hedge accounting. This establishes a new model aimed at reflecting better alignment between hedge accounting and risk management activity. Also included are enhancements to required disclosures.

 

This final version of IFRS 9 replaces the previous versions of the Standard.

 

      Annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.
     
   

IFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers

 

This new standard applies to all contracts with customers except leases, financial instruments and insurance contracts. Its purpose is to make financial information more comparable, and it provides a new model for revenue recognition and more detailed requirements for contracts with multiple obligations. It also requires more itemized information. This standard will replace IAS 11 and IAS 18 as well as their interpretations (IFRIC 13, IFRIC 15, IFRIC 18 and SIC 31).

 

      Annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.
     
   

IFRS 16: Leases

 

The new standard brings most leases on-balance sheet for lessees under a single model, eliminating the distinction between operating and finance leases. Lessor accounting however remains largely unchanged and the distinction between operating and finance leases is retained. However, for lessee accounting, the new standard requires recognition of a right of use an asset and a corresponding liability, similar to finance lease accounting under IAS 17 for most lease contracts. IFRS 16 supersedes IAS 17 “Leases” and related interpretations and is effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019, with earlier adoption permitted if IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” has also been applied.

 

      Annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.

The Group is assessing the impact of applying IFRS 9, IFRS 15 and IFRS 16 as of their effective date. In Management’s opinion, the application of the other standards and amendments pending application is not expected to have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Endesa Chile.

2.3     Responsibility for the information, judgments and estimates provided

Management is responsible for the information contained in these consolidated financial statements and expressly states that all IFRS principles and standards, as issued by the IASB, have been fully implemented.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, certain judgments and estimates made by the Company’s Management have been used to quantify some of the assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and commitments recognized in the statements.

The most important areas that have required professional judgment are:

 

  -

In a service concession agreement, the decision as to whether a principal controls or regulates which services the operator should provide, to whom and at what price. These are essential details when applying IFRIC 12 Service Concession Arrangements (see Note 3.c.1).

 

  -

The identification of Cash Generating Units (CGU) for impairment testing (see Note 3.d).

 

  -

The hierarchy of information used to value assets and liabilities measured at fair value (see Note 3.g).

These estimates refer basically to:

 

  -

The valuations performed to determine the existence of impairment losses in assets and goodwill (see Note 3.d).

 

  -

The assumptions used to calculate the actuarial liabilities and obligations with employees, such as discount rates, mortality tables, salary increases, etc. (see Notes 3.l.1 and 23).

 

  -

The useful lives 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.g and 20).

 

  -

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 recognized in the statements.

 

  -

The probability that uncertain or contingent liabilities will be incurred and their related amounts (see Note 3.l).

 

  -

Future disbursements for the closure of facilities and restoration of land, as well as the discount rates to be used (see Note 3.a).

 

  -

The tax results of the various subsidiaries of the Group that will be reported to the respective tax authorities in the future, and that have been used as the basis for recording different balances related to income taxes in these consolidated financial statements (see Note 3.o).

The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and any pre-existing interest in the Company acquired in a business combination.

Although these judgments and 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 judgments and estimates in subsequent periods. This change would be made prospectively, recognizing the effects this change of judgments and estimates in the corresponding future consolidated financial statements.

2.4     Consolidated subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are defined as entities that are controlled either directly or indirectly by the Endesa Chile. Control is achieved when the following conditions are met: the Company has i) power over the subsidiary; ii) is exposed, or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary; and iii) has the capacity to use its power to affect its returns.

 

 

F-21


Table of Contents

Endesa Chile has power over its subsidiaries when it holds the majority of the substantive voting rights or when it has less than a majority of the voting rights, and those rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the subsidiary unilaterally.

The Group will reassess whether or not it controls a subsidiary if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the elements of control listed above.

Appendix 1 to these consolidated financial statements, entitled “Group Companies”, describes the relationship of the Endesa Chile with each of its subsidiaries.

    2.4.1     Changes in the scope of consolidation

On January 9, 2015, Endesa Chile, together with its subsidiary Compañía Eléctrica de Tarapacá S.A., sold 100% of its shares in the subsidiary Sociedad Concesionaria Túnel El Melón S.A., for the amount of ThCh$ 25,000,000 (See Notes 7.e and 30).

The disposal of Sociedad Concesionaria Túnel El Melón S.A. from the scope of consolidation of Endesa Chile led to a reduction in the consolidated statement of financial position of ThCh$ 871,022 in current assets, ThCh$ 7,107,941 in non-current assets, ThCh$ 3,700,546 in current liabilities and ThCh$ 1,789,703 in non-current liabilities.

During 2014, the company Inversiones GasAtacama Holding Ltda. entered the Group’s scope of consolidation as a result of Endesa Chile S.A.’s acquisition of an additional 50% interest in that company on April 22, 2014 (see Note 6).

By virtue of this operation, the following companies became subsidiaries of the Group: Inversiones GasAtacama Holding Ltda., GasAtacama S.A., GasAtacama Chile S.A., Gasoducto TalTal S.A., Progas S.A., Gasoducto Atacama Argentina S.A., Atacama Finance Co., GNL Norte S.A. and Energex Co.

The inclusion of Inversiones GasAtacama Holding Ltda. into the Group’s scope of consolidation brought about an increase in the consolidated statement of financial position of ThCh$ 198,924,289 in current assets, ThCh$ 221,471,415 in non-current assets, ThCh$ 69,989,919 in current liabilities and ThCh$ 35,672,488 in non-current liabilities.

Appendix 2 to these consolidated financial statements, entitled “Changes in the Scope of Consolidation”, lists the companies that entered into the scope of consolidation, along with details of the stakes involved.

    2.4.2     Unconsolidated companies with an ownership interest of over 50%.

Although Endesa Chile Group holds more than a 50% ownership interest in Centrales Hidroeléctricas de Aysén S.A. (hereinafter “Aysén”), it is considered a “joint venture” since the Group, through contracts or agreements with shareholders, exercises joint control of the company.

    2.4.3     Consolidated companies with an ownership interest of less than 50%

Although the Group holds a 26.87% ownership in the company Empresa Generadora de Energía Eléctrica S.A. (also hereinafter “Emgesa” or “Emgesa S.A.E.S.P.”), this entity is considered a subsidiary since Endesa Chile exercises control over the entity through contracts or agreements with shareholders, or as a consequence of its structure, composition and shareholder classes. The Group holds 56.43% of the voting rights of Emgesa.

As of December 31, 2015, assets and liabilities of Emgesa have been classified as non-current assets and liabilities associated with disposal groups held for sale or distribution to owners. Similarly, the results of this subsidiary for the years 2015, 2014 and 2013 have been classified as discontinued operations (see Notes 3.j and 4.1).

2.5     Investments in associated companies and joint arrangements

Associated are those entities in which Endesa Chile S.A., either directly or indirectly, exercises significant influence.

Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operational policy decisions of the investee but does not control or have joint control over these policies. In general, if the Group holds 20% or more of the voting power of an investee, it is presumed that the Group has significant influence over an investee (see Note 3.h).

Joint arrangements are those agreements in which the Group exercises joint control. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the entities’ relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Joint arrangements are classified as:

 

  -

Joint venture: an agreement whereby the parties exercising joint control have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.

 

  -

Joint operation: an agreement whereby the parties exercising joint control have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to the arrangement. At the end of the reporting period, Endesa Chile does not have any joint arrangements that qualify as joint operations.

Appendix 3 to these consolidated financial statements, entitled “Associated Companies and Joint Ventures”, describes the relationship of the Endesa Chile and each of these companies.

2.6     Basis of consolidation and business combinations

The subsidiaries are consolidated and all their assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and cash flows are included in the consolidated financial statements once the adjustments and eliminations from intra-group transactions have been made.

The comprehensive income of subsidiaries is included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the date that the Parent Company gains control of the subsidiary until the date when it ceases to control the subsidiary.

The operations of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries have been consolidated under the following basic principles:

 

  1.

At the date the Parent obtains control, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at their fair value, except for certain assets and liabilities that are recognized using valuation principles established in other IFRS standards. Goodwill is recognized as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In the case when the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, the excess after reassessment is recognized immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.

For each business combination, the Group chooses whether to value the non-controlling interests in an acquired company at fair value or at the proportional share of the net identifiable assets acquired.

If it is not possible to determine the fair value of all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, the Group will report the provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted retrospectively during the measurement period (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date), or additional assets or liabilities are recognized, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized at that date.

For business combinations achieved in stages, the Company’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to its acquisition-date fair value and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognized in profit or loss.

 

  2.

Non-controlling interests in equity and in comprehensive income of the subsidiaries are presented, respectively, under the line items “Total Equity: Non-controlling interests” in the consolidated statement of financial position and “Net profit attributable to non-controlling interests” and “Comprehensive income attributable to non-controlling interests” in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

 

 

F-23


Table of Contents
  3.

The financial statements of the Group companies with functional currencies other than the Chilean peso are translated as follows:

 

  a.

For assets and liabilities the prevailing closing exchange rate is used.

 

  b.

For items of the comprehensive income, the average exchange rate for the period 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.

For equity accounts the historical exchange rate from the date of acquisition or contribution is used, and retained earnings are translated at the average exchange rate at the date of origination.

 

  d.

Exchange differences arising in translation of financial statements are recognized in the item “Foreign currency translation losses, net” in other comprehensive income (See Note 24.2).

 

  4.

The balances and transactions between consolidated companies were eliminated in full on consolidation.

 

  5.

Changes in the ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group taking or losing control are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in Equity attributable to the shareholders of the Parent.

 

  6.

Business combinations between entities under common control are accounted for using, as a reference, the ‘pooling of interest’ method. Under this method, the assets and liabilities involved in the transaction remain reflected at the same carrying amounts at which they were recognized in the ultimate controlling company, although subsequent accounting adjustments may need to be made to align the accounting policies of the companies involved.

Any difference between assets and liabilities contributed to the consolidation and the consideration paid is recorded directly in equity, as a charge or credit to “Other reserves”. The Company does not restate comparative periods in its financial statements for business combinations under common control.

 

3.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principle accounting policies used in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements are the following:

 

  a)

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are measured at acquisition cost, net of accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses they may have experienced. In addition to the price paid to acquire each item, the cost also includes, where applicable, the following:

 

  -

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 or distribution 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 weighted average financing rate of the company carrying out the investment (see Note 16.d.1).

 

  -

Employee expenses directly related to construction in progress (see Note 16.d.2).

 

  -

Future disbursements that the Endesa Chile will have to make to close their facilities are incorporated into the value of the asset at fair value, recording in the accounting the corresponding provision for dismantling or restoration. Endesa Chile 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 22).

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 increasing the cost of the corresponding assets.

 

 

F-24


Table of Contents

The replacement or overhaul of entire components that increase the asset’s useful life or economic capacity are recognized as an increase in cost for the respective assets, derecognizing the replaced or overhauled components.

Expenditures for periodic maintenance, conservation and repair are recognized directly as an expense for the period in which they are incurred.

The Company, based on the outcome of impairment testing performed explained in Note 3.d, considers that the carrying amount of assets does not exceed their recoverable amount.

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 Group companies expect to use the assets. Useful life estimates and residual values are reviewed on an annual basis and if appropriate adjusted prospectively.

The following are the main categories of property, plant and equipment with their respective estimated useful lives:

 

 

Categories of Property, plant and equipment        

 

  

 

        Years of estimated useful lives         

 

     

Buildings

   22 – 100     

Plant and equipment

IT equipment

   3 – 15     

Fixtures and fittings

   5 – 21     

Motor vehicles

   5 – 10     

Other

   2 – 33     

Additionally, the following provides greater detail on the useful lives of plant and equipment items:

 

 

Categories of Property, plant and equipment        

 

  

 

        Years of estimated useful lives

   10-35     

Transport lines

   20-35     

Natural gas transport facilities:

       

Pipelines

   30-35     
           

Land is not depreciated since it has an indefinite useful life.

Regarding the administrative concessions held by the Group’s electric companies, the following lists the periods remaining until expiration for the concessions that do not have an indefinite term:

 

Concession holder and operator      Country        Year  
   concession  
  started  
     Concession  
  term  
  

  Period remaining  

  to expiration  

Hidroeléctrica El Chocón S.A. (Generación)

     Argentina      1993    30 years    8 years

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, when the economic benefit from the asset is limited to its use during the concession term. At the end of each concession period it can be renewed at the discretion of the granting authority, otherwise all assets and facilities will be returned to the Group, upon reimbursement for investments made and not yet amortized. Any required investment, improvement or replacement made by the Group is considered in the impairment test to Property, plant, and equipment as a future contractual cash outflow that is necessary to obtain future cash inflow.

Endesa Chile’s management has evaluated the specific case of the concession described above and has concluded that there are no conclusive factors indicating that the grantor of the concession (a governmental body) has control over the infrastructure and that it

can simultaneously determine the service price on a permanent basis. These are essential requirements for applying IFRIC 12 Service Concession Arrangements, an interpretation that establishes how to recognize and value certain types of concessions. (Those that are within the scope of this Standard are presented in Note 3.c.1). As of December 31, 2015, assets and liabilities of Hidroeléctrica El Chocón S.A. have been classified as non-current assets and liabilities associated with disposal groups held for sale or distribution to owners. Similarly, the results of this subsidiary for the years 2015, 2014 and 2013 have been classified as discontinued operations (see Notes 3.j and 4.1).

Gains or losses that arise from the sale or disposal of items of Property, plant, and equipment are recognized as “Other gains, net” in the comprehensive income statement and are calculated by deducting the carrying amount of the asset and any sales expenses from the amount received in the sale.

 

  b)

Goodwill

Goodwill arising from business combinations represents the excess value of the consideration paid plus the amount of any non-controlling interests over the Group’s share of the net value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, measured at fair value at the acquisition date. If the accounting for a business combination is completed, as well as the determination of goodwill, after the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the amounts previously reported presented are adjusted, for comparative purposes, to include the value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the value of the final goodwill as of acquisition date.

Goodwill arising from acquisition of entities with functional currencies other than the Chilean peso is measured in the functional currency of the acquired company and translated to Chilean pesos using the closing exchange rate.

Goodwill is not amortized; instead, at the end of each reporting period or when there are indicators that an impairment might have occurred, the Company estimates whether any impairment loss has reduced its recoverable amount to an amount less than the carrying amount and, if so, it impairment loss is immediately recognized in profit or loss (see Note 3.d).

 

  c)

Intangible assets other than goodwill

Intangible assets are initially recognized at their acquisition cost or production cost, and are subsequently measured at their cost, net of their accumulated amortization and impairment losses they may have experienced.

Intangible assets are amortized on a straight line basis during their useful lives, starting from the date when they are ready for use, except for those with an indefinite useful life, which are not amortized. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014 there are no significant intangible assets with an indefinite useful life.

The criteria for recognizing these assets impairment losses and, if applicable, recovery of impairment losses recognized in previous periods are explained in Note 3.d below.

An intangible asset is derecognized on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.

 

      c.1)

  Concessions

Public-to-private service concession agreements are recognized in accordance with IFRIC 12, Service Concession Agreements. This accounting interpretation applies if:

 

  a)

The grantor controls or regulates what services the operator must provide with the infrastructure, to whom it must provide them, and at what price; and

 

  b)

The grantor controls – through ownership, beneficial entitlement, or otherwise – any significant residual interest in the infrastructure at the end of the term of the agreement.

 

 

F-26


Table of Contents

If both of the above conditions are met simultaneously, the operator shall recognize an intangible asset to the extent that it receives a right (a license) to charge users of the public service. A right to charge users of the public service is not an unconditional right to receive cash because the amounts are contingent on the extent that the public uses the service.

These intangible assets are initially recognized at cost, i.e. the fair value of consideration transferred to acquire the asset, which is the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the construction services delivered.

They are then amortized over the term of the concession.

 

      c.2)

  Research and development expenses

Endesa Chile recognizes 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 feasibility and future economic benefits have been demonstrated.

 

      c.3)

  Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets correspond 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 is amortized (on average) over five years. Certain easements and water rights have indefinite useful lives and, therefore, are 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)

Impairment of non-financial assets

During the period, and principally at the end of each reporting period, the Company evaluates whether there is any indication that an asset has been impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of that asset to determine the amount of the impairment loss. In the case of identifiable assets that do not generate cash flows independently, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) 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 CGUs to which goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite useful lives have been allocated, a recoverability analysis is performed routinely at each period end.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use, which is defined as the present value of the estimated future cash flows. In order to calculate the recoverable amount of Property, plant, and equipment, as well as of goodwill, and intangible assets, the Company uses value-in-use criteria in practically all cases.

To estimate value in use, the Group prepares future pre-tax cash flow projections based on the most recent budgets available. These budgets incorporate management’s best estimates of a CGUs’ revenue and costs using sector projections, past experience and future expectations.

In general, these projections cover the next five years, estimating cash flows for subsequent years by applying reasonable growth rates which, in no case, are increasing rates nor exceed the average long-term growth rates for the particular sector and country in which the Group operates. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014 future cash flows projections were extrapolated from the following rates:

 

      Growth rates
Country    12-31-2015    12-31-2014
      Rate    Rate
              

Chile

   4.5%    2.2% - 4.1%

Argentina

   11.1%    6.9%

Brazil

     4.1% - 5.6%        5.0% - 5.9%  

Peru

   3.1%    3.4%

Colombia

   3.5%    4.3%

 

 

F-27


Table of Contents

Future cash flows are discounted to calculate their present value at a pre-tax rate that covers the cost of capital for the business activity and the geographic area in which it is being carried out. The time value of money and risk premiums generally used among analysts for the business activity and the geographic zone are taken into account to calculate the pre-tax rate.

The following are the pre-tax discount rates applied as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 expressed in nominal terms:

 

            As of
            12-31-2015    12-31-2014
Country    Currency        Minimum            Maximum            Minimum            Maximum    
                                

Chile

   Chilean peso    12.7%    9.6%    13.0%

Argentina

   Argentine peso    34.5%    39.4%    37.2%    38.9%

Brazil

   Brazilian real    11.1%    21.1%    9.7%    22.7%

Peru

   Peruvian sol    11.3%    12.6%

Colombia

   Colombian peso    15.1%    13.3%

If the recoverable amount of the CGU is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income under the item “Impairment loss”. The impairment is first allocated to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. The carrying amount of an asset is not reduced below the highest of fair value less costs of disposal, its value in use; or zero.

Impairment losses recognized for an asset in prior periods are reversed when there are indications that the impairment loss no longer exists or may have decreased, thus increasing the asset’s carrying amount with a credit to earnings. The increase in the asset’s carrying amount shall not exceed that carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset. Goodwill impairment losses are not reversed in subsequent periods.

As of December 31, 2015 the assets subject to impairment analysis were related to operations outside of Chile and have been classified as non-current assets and liabilities associated with disposal groups held for sale or distribution to owners (see Notes 3.j and 4.1).

 

  e)

Leases

In order to determine whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease, Endesa Chile assesses the economic substance of the agreement, in order to determine whether fulfillment of the arrangement depends on the use of a specific asset and whether the agreement conveys the right to use an asset. If both conditions are met, at the inception of the arrangement the Group separates the payments and other considerations relating to the lease, at their fair values, from those corresponding to other components of the agreement.

Leases that substantially transfer all the risks and rewards of ownership to the Group are classified as finance leases. All others leases are classified as operating leases.

Finance leases in which Endesa Chile acts as a lessee are recognized at the inception of the arrangement. 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 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 apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation. Finance expenses are recognized immediately in the income statement and allocated over the lease term, so as to achieve a constant interest rate on the remaining balance of the liability. Leased assets are depreciated 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 leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the useful lives of the assets and their lease term.

In the case of operating leases, payments are recognized as an expense in the case of the lessee and as income in the case of the lessor, both 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 entity and a financial liability or equity instrument in another entity.

 

      f.1)

    Financial assets other than derivatives

Endesa Chile classifies its non-derivative financial assets, whether permanent or temporary, excluding investments accounted for using the equity method (see Note 13) and non-current assets and disposal groups held for sale, into four categories:

 

  -

Loans and trade and other receivables: These financial assets, that are not quoted in the active market, are measured at amortized cost, which is the initial fair value minus principal repayments made, plus accrued interest, calculated using the effective interest method, minus any reduction through the use of an allowance account for impairment or uncollectibility.

 

    

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 finance income or cost over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the discount rate that exactly matches discounts the estimated future 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 quoted in an active market that the Group intends to hold and is capable of holding until their maturity are accounted for at amortized cost as defined in the preceding paragraph.

 

  -

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: This category includes the trading portfolio and those financial assets that have been designated as such upon initial recognition and that are managed and evaluated on a fair value basis. They are measured in the consolidated statement of financial position at fair value, with changes in value recognized 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. They are almost all financial investments in equity instruments (see Note 8).

These financial assets are recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position at fair value when it can be reliably determined. For investments in equity instruments in unlisted companies or companies with lower levels of liquidity, normally the fair value cannot be reliably measured. When this occurs, those investments in equity instruments are measured at cost less impairment losses, if any.

Changes in fair value, net of tax, are recognized in other comprehensive income, until the investments are disposed of, at which time the amount accumulated in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss.

If the fair value is lower than cost, and if there is objective evidence that the asset has been more than temporarily impaired, the difference is recognized directly in profit or loss.

Purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for using their trade date.

 

      f.2)

    Cash and cash equivalents

This item within the consolidated statement of financial position includes cash and bank balances, time deposits with original maturity of less than or equal to 90 days, and other highly liquid investments (with original maturity of less or equal to 90 days) that are readily convertible to cash and are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

 

 

F-29


Table of Contents
      f.3)

    Impairment of financial assets

The following criteria are used to determine if a financial asset has been impaired:

 

  -

For trade receivables in the electricity generation, transmission and distribution segments, the Company’s policy is to recognize impairment losses based on the aging of past-due balances. This is the policy generally applied except in cases where a specific collective basis analysis is recommended, such as in the case of receivables from public entities (see Note 9).

 

  -

In the case of receivables of a financial nature, included in the loans and trade and other receivables and held-to-maturity investments categories, impairment is determined on case-by-case basis and it is measured as the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate (see Notes 8 and 20).

 

  -

In the case of financial investments available-for-sale, impairment criteria are detailed in Note 3.f.1.

 

      f.4)

    Financial liabilities other than derivatives

Financial liabilities are recognized based on cash received, net of any costs incurred in the transaction. In subsequent periods, these obligations are measured at their amortized cost using the effective interest method (see Note 3.f.1).

In the particular case that a liability is the hedged item in a fair value hedge, as an exception, such liability is measured at its fair value for the portion of the hedged risk.

In order to calculate the fair value of debt, both when it is recognized in the statement of financial position and for fair value disclosure purposes as shown in Note 18, 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 debt 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 measured by discounting expected future cash flows with a market interest rate curve based on the payment currency.

 

      f.5)

    Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting

Derivatives held by Endesa Chile are 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 recognized at fair value at the end of each reporting period as follows: if their fair value is positive, they are recognized within “Other financial assets”; and if their fair value is negative, they are recognized within “Other financial liabilities”. For derivatives on commodities, the positive fair value is recognized in “Trade and other receivables”, and negative fair values are recognized in “Trade and other payables”.

Changes in fair value are recognized directly in profit or loss, except when the derivative has been designated for hedge accounting purposes as a hedge instrument (in a cash flow hedge) and all of the conditions for applying hedge accounting established by IFRS are met, including that the hedge be highly effective. In this case, changes are recognized as follows:

 

  -

Fair value hedges: The underlying portion for which the risk is being hedged (hedged risk) and the hedge instrument are measured at fair value, and any changes in value of both items are recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income by offsetting the effects in the same comprehensive income statement account.

 

  -

Cash flow hedges: Changes in the fair value of the effective portion of the hedged item and hedge instrument are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in an equity reserve known as “Reserve for cash flow hedges”. The cumulative loss or gain in this account this reserve is transferred to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income to the extent that the hedged item impacts the consolidated statement of comprehensive income because of the hedged risk, offsetting the effect in the same comprehensive income statement account. Gains or losses from the ineffective portion of the hedging relationship are recognized directly in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

A hedge relationship is considered highly effective when changes in fair value or in cash flows of the underlying item directly attributable to the hedged risk are offset by changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedging instrument, with an effectiveness ranging from 80% to 125%.

Table of Contents

The Company does not apply hedge accounting of net investments in foreign operations.

As a general rule, long-term commodity purchase or sale agreements are recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position at their fair value at the end of each reporting period, recognizing any differences in value directly in profit or loss, except for, when all of the following conditions are met:

 

  -

The sole purpose of the agreement is for its own use, which is understood as: (i) in the case of fuel purchase agreements its used to generate electricity; (ii) in the case of electrical energy purchased for sale, its sale to the end-customers; and, (iii) in the case of electricity sales its sale to the end-customers.

 

  -

Endesa Chile’s future projections evidence the existence of these agreements for its own use.

 

  -

Past experience with agreements evidence that they have been utilized for its own use, except in certain isolated cases when for exceptional reasons or reasons associated with logistical issues have been used beyond the control and projection of Endesa Chile.

 

  -

The agreement does not stipulate settlement of differences and the parties have not made it a practice to settle similar contracts with differences in the past.

The long-term commodity purchase or sale agreements maintained by Endesa Chile, 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, electricity purchase contracts are used to sell to end-customers, and electricity sale contracts are used to sell its own products.

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 as a whole they are not being accounted for at fair value. If they are not closely related, they are recognized separately and changes in value are accounted for directly in profit or loss.

 

      f.6)

    Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets are derecognized when:

 

  -

The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset expire or have been transferred or, if the contractual rights are retained, the Company has assumed a contractual obligation to pay these cash flows to one or more recipients.

 

  -

The Company has substantially transferred all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or, if it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards, when it does not retain control of the financial asset.

Transactions in which the Company 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).

Financial liabilities are derecognized when they are extinguished, that is, when the obligation arising from the liability has been paid or cancelled, or has expired.

 

      f.7)

    Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities

The Group offsets financial assets and liabilities, and the net amount is presented in the statement of financial position only when:

 

  -

there is a legally binding right to set-off recognized amounts; and

 

  -

the company intends to settle them on a net basis, or to simultaneously realize the asset and settle the liability.

    Financial guarantees

The financial guarantee contracts, defined as the guarantees issued by Endesa Chile and its subsidiaries to third parties, are initially measured at their fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee.

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial guarantee contracts are recognized at the higher of:

 

  -

The amount determined in accordance with the accounting policy in Note 3.m; and

 

  -

The amount initially recognized less, when appropriate, cumulative amortization recognized in accordance with the revenue recognition policies.

 

      g)

    Fair value measurement

The fair value of an asset or liability is defined as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability occurs in the principal market, namely, the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for that asset or liability. In the absence of a principal market, it is assumed that the transaction is carried out in the most advantageous market available to the entity, namely, the market that maximizes the amount that would be received to sell the asset or minimizes the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability.

In estimating fair value of an asset or liability, the Group uses market-observable data to the extent it is available. Where Level 1 inputs are not available, the Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate for the circumstances and for which there is sufficient data to conduct the measurement. The Group maximizes the use of relevant observable data and minimizes the use of unobservable data.

Given the hierarchy of the entry data used in the valuation techniques, assets and liabilities measured at fair value can be classified at the following levels:

Level 1: Quoted prices (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). The methods and assumptions used to determine the fair values at Level 2 by type of financial assets or financial liabilities take into consideration estimated future cash flows discounted at market rates. Future cash flows for financial assets and financial liabilities are discounted with the zero coupon interest rate curves for each currency (these valuations are carried out using external tools such as Bloomberg); and

The Group measures derivatives not traded on active markets by using the discounted cash flow method and generally accepted options valuation models, based on current and future market conditions as of the close of the financial statements. It also adjusts the value according to its own credit risk (Debt Valuation Adjustment, DVA), and the counterparty risk (Credit Valuation Adjustment, CVA). These CVA and DVA adjustments are measured on the basis of the potential future exposure of the instrument (creditor or borrower position) and the risk profile of both the counterparties and the Group itself.

Level 3: Inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

When measuring fair value, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability, particularly:

 

  -

For non-financial assets, fair value measurement takes into account the ability of a market participant to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use;

 

  -

For liabilities and equity instruments, the fair value measurement assumes that the liability would not be settled and an equity instrument would not be cancelled or otherwise extinguished on the measurement date. The fair value of the liability reflects the effect of non-performance risk, namely, the risk that an entity will not fulfill the obligation, which includes, but is not limited to, the Company’s own credit risk;

 

  -

In the case of financial assets and financial liabilities with offsetting positions in market risks or counterparty credit risks, it is permitted to measure the fair value on a net basis. However, this must be consistent with the manner in which market participants would price the net risk exposure at the measurement date.

Investments accounted for using the equity method

The Group’s interests in joint ventures and associates are recognized using the equity method.

Under the equity method, an investment in an associate or joint venture is initially recognized at cost. As of the acquisition date, the investment is recognized in the statement of financial position based on the share of its equity that the Company’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 recognized for that investment in the statement of financial position, unless Endesa Chile has a present obligation (either legal or implicit) to support the company’s negative equity position, in which case a provision is recognized.

Goodwill from the associate or joint venture is included in the carrying amount of the investment. It is not amortized but is subject to impairment testing as part of the overall investment carrying amount when there are indicators of impairment.

Dividends received from these companies are deducted from the value of the investment, and any profit or loss obtained from them to which the Group is entitled based on its interest is recognized under “Share of profit (loss) of investments accounted for using equity method”.

Appendix 3 to these consolidated financial statements, entitled “Associated Companies and Joint Ventures”, describes the relationship of Endesa Chile and each of these companies.

 

  i)

Inventories

Inventories are measured at their weighted average acquisition cost or the net realizable value, whichever is lower.

 

  j)

Non-current assets and disposal groups and liabilities associated held for sale or distribution to owners and discontinued operations

Non-current assets (including property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, investments accounted for using the equity method and joint ventures) and disposal groups (a group of assets to be disposed of and the liabilities directly associated with those assets) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. These assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held for distribution to owners when the entity is committed to distribute the assets (or disposal groups) to the owners. For this to be the case, the assets must be available for immediate sale or distribution in their present condition and the sale or distribution must be highly probable. For the sale or distribution to be highly probable, actions to complete the sale or distribution must have been initiated and should be expected to be completed within one year from the date of classification. Actions required to complete the sale or distribution should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the sale or distribution will be made or that the sale or distribution will be withdrawn. The probability of shareholders’ approval (if required in the jurisdiction) should be considered as part of the assessment of whether the sale or distribution is highly probable.

These assets and disposal groups held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and estimated sale value less cost of disposal or distribution. Depreciation and amortization on these assets cease when they meet the criteria to be classified as non-current assets held for sale or held for distribution to owners.

Assets that cease to be classified as held for sale or held for distribution to owners, or cease to form part of a disposal group are valued at the lower of their carrying amount before classification, less depreciation, amortization or revaluations that would have been recognized if they would not have been classified as such, and the recoverable value on the date on which they will be classified as non-current assets.

 

 

F-33


Table of Contents

Non-current assets held for sale or held for distribution to owners and the components of the disposal groups classified as held for sale or held for distribution to owners are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position as a line item entitled “Non-current assets and disposal groups held for sale or distribution to owners,” and the respective liabilities are presented as a line item entitled “Liabilities associated with disposal groups held for sale or distribution to owners.”

Discontinued operation is a component of an entity that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and:

 

  -

represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations;

 

  -

is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; or

 

  -

is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.

The post-tax profit or loss of discontinued operations is presented as a single line item in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as “Net profit from discontinued operations”, as well as the post-tax gain or loss recognized on the measurement to fair value less costs to sell or on the disposal of the assets or disposal groups constituting the discontinued operation.

 

  k)

Treasury shares

Treasury shares are deducted from equity in the consolidated statement of financial position and measured at acquisition cost.

Gains and losses from the disposal of treasury shares are recognized directly in “Equity – Retained earnings”, without affecting profit or loss for the period. For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 the Group neither held any treasury shares nor entered into treasury share transactions.

 

  l)

Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material). The unwinding of the discount is recognized as finance cost. Incremental legal cost expected to be incurred in resolving a legal claim is included in measuring of the provision.

Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed.

A contingent liability does not result in the recognition of a provision. Legal costs expected to be incurred in defending a legal claim are expensed as they are incurred. Significant contingent liabilities are disclosed unless the likelihood of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.

 

      l.1)

Provisions for post-employment benefits and similar obligations

Endesa Chile and some of the subsidiaries have pension and similar obligations with their employees. These obligations, which can be 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, have not been externalized and are covered by the related in-house provisions.

For defined benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each reporting period. Past service costs relating to changes in benefits are recognized immediately.

 

 

F-34


Table of Contents

The defined benefit plan obligations in the statement of financial position represent the present value of the accrued obligations, adjusted, once the fair value of the different plans’ assets has been deducted, if any.

For each of the defined benefit plans, any deficit between the actuarial liability and the plan assets is recognized under line item “Provisions for employee benefits” within current and non-current liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Actuarial gains and losses arising in measurement of both the plan liabilities and the plan assets are recognized directly in other comprehensive income.

Contributions to defined contribution benefit plans are recognized as an expense in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income when the employees have rendered their services.

 

  m)

Translation of foreign currency balances

Transactions carried out by each entity in a currency other than its functional currency are recognized using the exchange rates prevailing as of the date of the transactions. During the period, any differences that arise between the prevailing exchange rate at the date of the transaction and the exchange rate as of the date of collection or payment are recognized as “Foreign currency exchange losses, net” in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Likewise, at the end of each reporting period, receivable or payable balances denominated in a currency other than each entity’s functional currency are translated using the closing exchange rate. Any differences are recognized as “Foreign currency exchange losses, net” in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Endesa Chile has established a policy to hedge the portion of revenue from its subsidiaries that is directly linked to variations in the U.S. dollar, through obtaining financing in such currency. Exchange differences related to this debt, which is regarded as the hedging instrument in cash flow hedge transactions, are recognized, net of taxes, in other comprehensive income and are accumulated in an equity reserve and reclassified to profit or loss when the hedged cash flows impact profit or loss. This term has been estimated at ten years.

 

  n)

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, except for post-employment and other similar obligations. Those assets and liabilities expected to be recovered or settled in more than twelve months are presented as non-current items. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current.

When the Company has 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 are classified as long-term liabilities.

 

  o)

Income taxes

Income tax expense for the period is determined as the sum of current taxes from the Endesa Chile’s different subsidiaries and results from applying the tax rate to the taxable income for the period, after permitted 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 carrying amount and tax basis of assets and liabilities generate deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are calculated using the tax rates expected to apply when the assets and liabilities are realized or settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that sufficient future taxable profits exist to recover the deductible temporary differences and make use of the tax credits. Such deferred tax asset is not recognized if the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability that:

 

  -

Did not arise from a business combination; and

  -

At initial recognition affected neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (loss).

 

 

F-35


Table of Contents

With respect to deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all temporary differences, except those derived from the initial recognition of goodwill and those that arose from investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures in which the Group can control their reversal and where it is probable that they will not be reversed in the foreseeable future.

Current tax and changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized in profit or loss or in equity, depending on where the gains or losses that triggered these tax entries have been recognized.

Any tax 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 recognized as government grants.

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the deferred taxes assets and liabilities recognized, and makes, if any, necessary corrections based on the results of its review.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset in the consolidated statement of financial position if has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities, and only when the deferred taxes relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority.

 

  p)

Revenue and expense recognition

Revenue is recognized when the gross inflow of economic benefits arising in the course of the Group’s ordinary activities 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.

Revenues and expenses are recognized on an accrual basis and depending on the type of transaction, the following criteria for recognition are taken:

 

  -

Generation and transmission of electricity: Revenue is recognized based on physical delivery of energy and power, at prices established in the respective contracts; at prices stipulated in the electricity market by applicable regulations; or at marginal cost determined on the spot market, as the case. This revenue includes an estimate of the service provided and not billed until the closing date (see Note 2.3).

Revenue from rendering of services is recognized, if it can be estimated reliably, by reference to the stage of completion of the service at the end of the reporting period.

Revenue is recognized based on the economic substance of the transaction and is recognized when all of the following conditions are met:

 

  -

the entity has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;

 

  -

the entity retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;

 

  -

the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

 

  -

it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity; and

 

  -

the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable that gives rise to the revenue.

In arrangements under which Endesa Chile will perform multiple revenue-generating activities (multiple-element arrangement), the recognition criteria are applied to the separately identifiable components of the transaction in order to reflect the substance of the transaction or to two or more transactions together when they are linked in such a way that the commercial effect cannot be understood without reference to the series of transactions as a whole.

 

 

F-36


Table of Contents

Endesa Chile excludes from revenue those 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 activity.

When goods or services are exchanged or swapped for goods or services of a similar nature and value, the exchange is not regarded as a revenue-generating transaction.

Endesa Chile recognizes the net amount of non-financial asset purchases or sale contracts that are settled for a 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.

Finance income (expense) is recognized using the effective interest method.

Expenses are recognized on an accruals basis, immediately in the event of expenditures that do not generate future economic benefits or when they do not meet the requirements for recording them as assets.

 

  q)

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net profit attributable to shareholders of the Parent (the numerator) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding (the denominator) during the period, excluding the average number of shares of the Parent held by the Group, if any.

Total basic earnings per share are calculated as the ratio of the net profit for the year after tax from continuing and discontinued operations, less the corresponding portion attributable to non-controlling interests, and the weighted average number of common shares of the parent company outstanding during the period, excluding the average number of shares of the parent held by the Group.

During the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 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.

 

  r)

Dividends

Article No. 79 of the Chilean Public Companies Act establishes that, unless unanimously agreed otherwise by the shareholders of all issued shares, listed corporations must distribute a cash dividend to shareholders on an annual basis, pro rata to the shares owned or the proportion established in the company’s by-laws if there are preferred shares, of at least 30% of profit for each year, except when accumulated deficit from prior years must be absorbed.

As it is practically impossible to achieve a unanimous agreement given the Group’s highly fragmented share capital, at the end of each reporting period the amount of the minimum statutory dividend obligation to its shareholders is determined, net of interim dividends approved during the period, and then accounted for in “Trade and other payables” and “Accounts payable to related parties”, as appropriate, and recognized in Equity.

Interim and final dividends are deducted from Equity when approved by the competent body, which in the first case is normally the Board of Directors and in the second case is the shareholders as agreed at an Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting.

NON-CURRENT ASSETS AND DISPOSAL GROUPS AND LIABILITIES ASSOCIATED HELD FOR SALE OR DISTRIBUTION TO OWNERS

 

  4.1

Corporate reorganization – non-current assets and disposal groups and liabilities associated held for sale or distribution to owners

 

  I.

General background

On April 28, 2015, Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. informed the SVS through a significant event, that the Board of Directors of its direct parent, Enersis S.A., communicated that it had decided to initiate an analysis of a corporate reorganization aimed at the separation of the activities of power generation and distribution in Chile from other activities conducted outside of Chile by Enersis S.A. and its subsidiaries Endesa and Chilectra S.A., maintaining its inclusion in the Enel S.p.A. group.

In the same significant event, the Board of Directors of Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. reported that it had agreed to initiate studies to analyze a possible corporate reorganization consisting of the spin-off of Endesa’s businesses in Chile from those outside of Chile, and eventually merge the latter into a single company. Furthermore, it indicated that the objective of this reorganization is to create value for all of its shareholders, as none of these operations require the contribution of additional resources from shareholders. The possible corporate reorganization would take into account the best interests as well as all shareholders’ interests, with special attention paid to minority interests, and if it were approved, be subject to approval at an Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting.

This corporate reorganization consists of two steps:

 

  -

Enersis S.A. and its subsidiaries Endesa and Chilectra S.A., would effect a spin-off, resulting in separation (the “Spin-off”) of the business in Chile (which will be allocated to companies Enersis Chile, Endesa Chile and Chilectra Chile) and outside of Chile (which will be allocated to companies Enersis Américas, Endesa Américas and Chilectra Américas).

 

  -

Once the previously mentioned spin-off are completed, Enersis Américas would absorb by merger Chilectra Américas and Endesa Américas, and would dissolve them without liquidation, thus grouping all international shares of the Enersis group outside of Chile in Enersis Américas.

On December 18, 2015, the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of Endesa Chile approved the demerger of Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A., subject to the conditions precedent consistent in approving demerger of Enersis S.A. and Chilectra S.A. by their respective Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meetings, additionaly to the relevant legal procedures and related matters. In addition, it was agreed that the Spin-off shall take effect from the first calendar day of the month following that in which a deed of compliance with conditions of the Spin-Off is granted.

As a result of the Spin-Off of Endesa Chile will be created a new corporation to be called Endesa Américas S.A. to which will be allocated the shareholdings and other associated assets and liabilities of Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. outside Chile.

On March 1, 2016, Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. was demerged and Endesa Américas S.A. began to exist. Consequently, a corresponding capital decrease of Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. and other amendments to its by-laws were verified (see Note 39.2).

Accounting aspects

As of December 31, 2015, in compliance with the requirements of IFRS 5 “Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations”, the following financial reporting has been reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements:

 

  i)

Assets and liabilities

All assets and liabilities related to the generation and distribution business outside of Chile (Enel Brasil, distribution subsidiaries) have been classified as “non-current assets and disposal groups held for sale or distribution to owners” or “liabilities associated with non-current assets and disposal groups held for sale or distribution to owners”, as appropriate, according to the accounting policy indicated in Note 3.j.

As of 31 December 2015, the main groups of assets and liabilities classified as held for distribution to owners, which relate to Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A.’ operations outside of Chile, are as follows:

Profit and loss

All income and expenses related to generation and distribution business located outside of Chile (Enel Brasil, distribution subsidiaries), subject to distribution to owners, represent discontinued operations and are presented in the “Profit after tax for the year from discontinued operations” line within the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Therefore, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income included in these consolidated financial statements for comparative purposes have been revised for the years ended 2014 and 2013, to restropsectively present revenues and expenses from continuing operations and also to present the net profit and loss from the discontinued operations in those years.

SECTOR REGULATIONS AND ELECTRICITY SYSTEM OPERATIONS

 

  a)

Continuing operations

    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 Superintendency 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 the Ministry of Energy, which is responsible for proposing and guiding public policies on energy matters. It also oversees the SEF, the CNE, and the Chilean Commission for Nuclear Energy (ChCNE), 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, (Centro de Energías Renovables - CER), which in November 2014 was replaced by the National Center for Innovation and Development of Sustainable Energy (Centro Nacional para la Innovación y Fomento de las Energías Sustentables - CIFES). 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.

From a physical viewpoint, 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 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. A law was passed on January 8, 2014, which will allow the SIC to be connected to the SING.

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. As essential services, 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 an interconnected electrical grid must coordinate their operations through a centralizing operating agent, the Centro de Despacho Económico de Carga (CDEC), in order to operate the system at minimum cost while maintaining a 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 energy transfers 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) Distribution companies that supply power to regulated customers: This distribution is to 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. Until January 2015, customers consuming between 500 kW and 2,000 kW may choose to be regulated or unregulated customers. On January 29, 2015 an amendment to the law was published in the Official Gazzete increasing the upper threshold from 2,000 kW to 5,000 kW. A summarized description of the scope of the amendments to the law are described below.

Until 2009, the transfer prices between generators and distribution companies for supplying power to regulated customers 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 node price contracts begin to expire, the transfer prices between generators and distributors are being 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 5,000 kW. These consumers can freely negotiate prices for electrical supply with generators and/or distributors. Customers with capacity between 500 and 5,000 kW have the option to contract energy at prices agreed upon with their suppliers or be subject to regulated prices, with a minimum term of at least four years under each pricing system. As previously discussed, the 5,000 kW threshold became effective beginning on January 2015.

(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 every semester 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 No. 20,018, distribution companies must have sufficient 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. This period of three years has been changed to five years, following the legislative amendment published in January 2015.

On May 15, 2014, the Minister of Energy presented the “Energy Agenda”, a document outlining general guidelines for the energy policy of the new government.

On September 29, 2014 a Tax Reform act was published in the Official Gazette, which emphasizes the creation of a so-called “green tax” to be levied on air emissions of particulate matter (PM), nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur dioxide (SO2) and carbon dioxide (CO2). The tax will be US$5/ton for CO2 emissions.

On January 29, 2015, Law No. 20,805 was published in the Official Gazette, incorporating a legal amendment to the energy bidding processes for consumption of regulated customers. Among the main changes incorporated through this amendment, are the increased participation of the CNE in the bidding processes; the increase from three to five years for the anticipated bidding announcements; the increase of the duration of supply contracts for up to 20 years; the incorporation of a reserved price as a limit price for each bid; the chance for a bidder to delay the energy supply in case of force majeure; the incorporation of short-term biddings, the treatment for energy without contract; and the increase in the upper threshold to qualify as regulated customer from 2,000 to 5,000 kW.

Non-conventional renewable energy

 

  -

In Chile, Law No. 20,257 was enacted in April of 2008 to encourage the use of Non-Conventional Renewable Energy (NCRE). The principal aspect of this law is that at least 5% of the energy sold by generation companies to their customers must come from renewable sources between years 2010 and 2014. This requirement progressively increases by 0.5% from 2015 until 2024, when a 10% renewable energy requirement will be reached. This law was amended in 2013 by Law No. 20,698, dubbed the “20/25 law,” as it establishes that by 2025, 20% of power supplied will be generated by NCRE. It does not change the previous law’s plan for supplying power under agreements in effect in July 2013.

Limits on integration and concentration

Chile has legislation in effect that defends free competition and, together with specific regulations that apply to the electricity market, defines criteria to avoid certain levels of economic concentration and/or abusive market practices.

In principle, the regulator allows the participation of companies in different activities (e.g. generation, distribution, and commercialization) as long as there is an adequate separation of each activity, for both accounting and company purposes. Nevertheless, most of the restrictions imposed involve the transmission sector mainly due to its nature and to the need to guarantee adequate access to all agents. In Chile there are specific restrictions if generation or distribution companies want to become majority shareholders in transmission companies.

 

 

F-44


Table of Contents

Regarding concentration in a specific sector, while there are regulations on free competition, there are no specific quantitative limits on vertical or horizontal integration. However, the General Law on Electrical Services provides that companies that operate on or have ownership in the Trunk Transmission Systems cannot engage in, either directly or indirectly, activities that are in any way involved in the business of power generation or distribution.

 

  b)

Discontinued operations

    Argentina

Argentina has shown signs of intervention in the electricity market since the crisis of 2002. Under the previous regulations, generators sold to distributors at prices obtained from centralized calculations at the average spot market price. The distributers’ purchase price was the average price forecast for the next six months, called the Seasonal Price (Precio Estacional). Any differences between the Seasonal Price (the purchase price) and the actual spot price (the selling price) was charged to the Seasonal Fund (Fondo Estacional) managed by the Electricity Wholesale Market Administration Company (CAMMESA - Compañía Administradora del Mercado Mayorista Eléctrico).

However, after the 2002 crisis, the authorities changed the pricing criteria, bringing the marginal pricing system to an end. First, marginal prices were calculated without taking into consideration the natural gas shortages. In effect, despite the fact that generation is dispatched on the basis of the fuels actually used, Resolution SE 240/2003 establishes that the marginal price is to be calculated taking into consideration all of the generation units as if there were no restrictions in effect on natural gas supplies. In addition, the expense of water is not included in the calculations if its opportunity cost is higher than the cost of generating power with natural gas. Second, it established a spot price ceiling of Ar$120/MWh. However, CAMMESA pays the actual variable costs of the thermal plants that run on liquid fuels through the Temporary Dispatch Cost Overruns program.

In addition, as the dollarized economy was devalued and went back to the Argentine peso, payment for capacity fell from US$10 to Ar$10 per MWh. Capacity payments have subsequently risen slightly, to Ar$12 pesos.

Additionally, the freezing of prices paid by distributors caused a gap in relation to actual generation costs, resulting in various types of special agreements for recovering costs, in accordance with regulations in force.

It was within this context that the government announced in 2012 its plan to change the current regulatory framework for one based on an average cost scheme.

Resolution 95/2013 was published in March of 2013, significantly changing the system for generators’ remunerations and setting new prices for capacity depending on the type of technology used and availability. It also established new values for paying for non-fuel variable costs, as well as additional fee for energy generated.

In May 2013, the Group’s generating companies (Central Costanera, Dock Sud and Hidroeléctrica El Chocón S.A.) accepted the terms of Resolution SE 95/2013.

This resolution marked the end of marginal pricing as a payment system in the Argentine power generation market and established, instead, payment by type of technology and size of plant. For each case, it recognizes fixed costs (determined on the basis of fulfillment of availability) and variable costs, plus an additional fee (the two parts are determined on the basis of the energy generated). Part of the additional fee will be placed in a trust for future investments.

In principle, commercial management and fuel dispatch will be in the hands of CAMMESA; Terminal Market agreements cannot be extended or renewed, and large users, once their respective contracts are up, must purchase their supply from CAMMESA. However, the Energy Secretary, in Note SE 1807/13, gave generators the opportunity to express their intention to continue handling collections for their entire contract portfolio, thus ensuring a certain amount of cash flow and a continuing relationship with the customer.

It is also important to mention that Central Costanera S.A. has availability contracts signed in 2012 that are still in effect, as well as combined cycle contracts (until 2015) and steam generation contracts (until 2019) that will enable the company to implement a plan for investing in the Central Costanera plant generation units in order to optimize the reliability and availability of that plant. The contracts also include payment of the commitments under the Long-Term Service Agreement (LTSA) for the plant’s combined cycles.

Through Resolution 529/2014, the Energy Secretary updated generators’ fee , which had been in effect since they were set in February 2013 under Resolution 95/2013. The new resolution increased recognition of fixed costs for combined cycle and large hydroelectric plants by 25%, and adjusted variable costs by 41% for thermal plants and 25% for hydroelectric plants. A new variable fee was set for biodiesel-fired plants. The additional fee increased 25% for thermal plants, and a new charge of AR$21/MWh was set for one-time maintenance for combined cycle and Ar$24/MWh for other thermal generation plants. The resolution is retroactive to February 2014.

Through Resolution 482/2015, Energy Secretary updated generators’ fee, which had been in effect since they were set in February 2014 under Resolution 529/2014. The new resolution increased recognition of fixed costs for combined cycle and large hydroelectric plants by 28%, and 64% for mid-size hydroelectric plants. The variable costs were adjusted by 23%, hydroelectric plants are exempted of variable electric transmission payments and has been implemented a new incentive scheme for generation and operating effectiveness for thermal plants. The additional fee increased by 26% for thermal plants and 10% for mid-size hydroelectric plants. For non-recurring maintenance was increased by 17% and the same concept is created for hydroelectric plants in Ar$8/MWh. Finally, a new charge of Ar$15.8/MWh for thermal plants and Ar$6.3/MWh for hydroelectric plants was set for investments funding, which will be effective from February 2015 to December 2018 only for those generators participating in the projects. The new generation will have an additional fee equivalent to 50% of the direct additional fee based on technology for a 10-years period. The resolution is retroactive to February 2015.

    Brazil

Legislation in Brazil allows the participation of private capital in the electricity sector, upholds free competition among companies in electricity generation, and defines criteria to avoid certain levels of economic concentration and/or market practices that may cause a decline in free competition.

Based on the contract requirements as stated by distribution companies, the Ministry of Energy has been involved in planning the expansion of the electricity system, setting capacity quotas by type of technology on the one hand and, on the other, promoting separate tender processes thermal, hydroelectric, or renewable energies, or directly holding tender processes for specific projects. The operation is being coordinated in a centralized fashion in which one independent operator coordinates centralized load dispatch based on variable production costs and seeks to guarantee to meet demand at the minimum cost for the system. The price at which transactions take place on the spot market is called the Difference Liquidation Price (Precio de Liquidación de las Diferencias, PLD), which takes into account the players’ aversion to risk.

Generation companies sell their energy on the regulated or unregulated market through contracts, and they trade their surpluses or deficits on the spot market. The free market is aimed at large users, with a limit of 3,000 kW or 500 kW if they purchase energy produced with renewable resources.

In the unregulated market, suppliers and their clients directly negotiate energy purchase conditions; whereas in the regulated market, where distribution companies operate, energy purchases must go through a tender process coordinated by the National Electricity Agency (ANEEL). Accordingly, 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 considers shorter contractual terms and seeks 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.

On November 25, 2014, the ANEEL approved the new PLD limits for 2015. The maximum limits decreased from R$823 to R$388/MWh and the minimum increased from R$16 to R$30/MWh. The decision was the result of extensive debate, which began with Public Consultation number 09/2014 and later with Public Hearing number 54/2014.

The main effect of the new limit is to reduce the financial impact for distributors of potential future risks when contracting energy in the spot market, as in 2014 the spot price was at its maximum for much of the year. The new maximum price also mitigates the risk of unrecoverable economic and financial losses for generators, when production is below contract values. However, the possibility of selling excess energy at higher prices decreases. Currently generators can divide their excess energy across the months of the year, to boost their revenues by allocating more energy to those months where higher prices are expected, as the ceiling is lower.

Annually the ANEEL ratifies by resolution the minimum and maximum limits of PLD, so that by 2016 the maximum and minimum PLD are fixed at R$422.56/MWh and R$30.25/MWh, respectively. These PLD limits incorporate the estimation of Itaipú mega hydro costs, which will be in 2016 of US$25.78/kW.

These regulatory mechanisms ensure the creation of regulatory assets, whose rate adjustment for deficits in 2014, took place in the tariff adjustments starting in 2015 (March for Ampla Energía E Serviços S.A. (Ampla) and April for Compañía Energética Do Ceará S.A. (Coelce), subsidiaries of our associate). This mechanism has existed since 2001, and is called the Compensation Clearing Account - Part A (Cuenta de Compensación de Valores – Parte A, “CVA”). They aimed to maintain consistent operating margins for the dealer by allowing tariff revenue due to the costs of Parcel A.

Compensation Clearing Account (“CVA” for its acronym in Portuguese) helps maintain stability in the market and enables the creation of deferred costs, which is compensated through tariff adjustments based on the fees necessary to compensate for deficits from the previous year.

In December 2014 an addendum was signed to the concession contract for distributors in Brazil (including Ampla y Coelce), which allows these regulatory assets (CVA’s and others) to be included in indemnizable assets at the end of the concession, and if this is not possible over time, it allows compensation through tariffs. Therefore, the recognition for these regulatory assets/liabilities is allowed under IFRS.

In 2014 Brazil continued to face a drought. In November, the system has reached the maximum of the energy rationing risk. The average reservoir levels were 1% below the lowest rationing. However, the Government affirms no risk of supply.

To cover the extra cost of energy, the government has created the ACR account through bank loans to be paid off within two years using funds from tariffs. Until December 31, 2014 distributors used an amount of approximately 18 billion Reals of the ACR, however, it was not enough to cover the deficit. In March 2015 a new loan to the ACR account was approved to cover the deficit of November and December 2014. An extension of the deadline for payment of all loans also was approved; now they have to be paid in 54 months after November 2015.

Depending on the mismatches between costs incorporated in the tariffs and the actual distribution costs, and intensified by the implicit costs of drought, ANEEL, in January 2015, began to implement a system (known as “Tariff Flags”) of additional monthly charge to consumers’ tariff, as long as the marginal cost of the system reaches levels above the regulatory standard. The aim of the regulator is to give the consumer an economic signal of the subsequent month’ generation cost, and indicate to the distributor the anticipation of the amount (right) that would only be received with the application of the next tariff.

    Colombia

The Public Utility Law (Ley de Servicios Públicos Domiciliarios, Law No. 142) and the Electricity Law (Ley Eléctrica, Law No. 143) were passed in 1994 establishing the new framework ordered by the Constitution. These laws set out the general criteria and policies that are to govern public utility service provision in the country, as well as the procedures and mechanisms for regulating, monitoring and overseeing them.

The Electricity Law puts the constitutional focus into practice, regulating the generation, transmission, distribution and sale of electricity, creating the market and competitive environment, strengthening the industry and setting the boundaries for government intervention. Taking into account the nature of each activity or business, general guidelines were established for developing the regulatory framework, creating and implementing the rules that would allow for free competition in the power generation and sales industries, while the directives for the transmission and distribution industries were geared toward treating these activities as monopolies while seeking out competitive conditions wherever possible.

The main institution in the electricity sector is the Mining and Energy Ministry, whose Mining Energy Planning Unit (Unidad de Planeación Minero Energética, UPME) draws up the National Energy Plan and the Generation and Transmission Expansion Plan. The Energy and Gas Regulatory Commission (Comisión de Regulación de Energía y Gas, CREG) and the Public Service Superintendency (Superintendencia de Servicios Públicos, SSPD) regulate and oversee, respectively, the companies in the industry, and the Superintendency of Industry and Commerce is the national authority for free trade protection issues.

Table of Contents

The electricity industry operates on the basis of electricity-selling companies and the large consumers being able to buy and sell energy through bilateral contracts or on a short-term energy exchange market, called the energy exchange, that operates freely according to supply and demand conditions. In addition, long-term auctions of Firm Energy within a Reliable Charge scheme are carried out to promote the expansion of the system. The market is operated and administered by XM, which is in charge of the National Dispatch Center (Centro Nacional de Despacho, CND), and the Commercial Interchange System Manager (Administrador del Sistema de Intercambios Comerciales, ASIC).

    Peru

The Electricity Concessions Law and its regulations, the Law to Ensure Efficient Development of Electricity Generation (Law No. 28,832), the Electricity Industry Antimonopoly and Oligopoly Law, the Technical Standard for Electricity Service Quality, the Environmental Protection Regulations for Electricity Activities, the Law Creating the Energy and Mining Investment Supervisory Agency (Osinergmin) and its regulations, and the Regulations for Unregulated Electricity Users and Decree Law No. 1221 which improves the regulation of the distribution of electricity to promote access to electricity in Peru, all comprise the main legislation in the regulatory framework for doing business in the power industry in Peru.

Law No. 28,832, whose purpose is to ensure enough efficient power generation to reduce the risk of price volatility and rationing, promotes the establishment of market prices based on competition, planning and ensuring a mechanism that guarantees expansion of the transmission grid, and also allows Large Unregulated Users and Distributors to participate in the short-term market. Accordingly, the law promotes tender processes for long-term power supply contracts at firm prices in order to encourage investment in efficient generation and contracts with distribution companies. Distribution companies must begin the tender processes at least three years ahead of time in order to keep Regulated Users’ demand covered.

Expansion in transmission must be planned through a binding Transmission Plan drawn up by the COES SINAC and approved first by the Osinergmin and then by the Energy and Mining Ministry. There are two types of systems: a) the Guaranteed Transmission System, which is paid for by the demand; and b) the Complementary Transmission System, which is financed jointly by the generation companies and by the demand.

The purpose of the COES SINAC is to coordinate operations at the lowest possible cost while ensuring a reliable system and the best use of energy resources, to plan transmission and to manage the short-term market. It is made up of generation, transmission and distribution companies and Large Unregulated Users (those with demand of 10 MW or higher) who belong to the National Interconnected Grid (Sistema Eléctrico Interconectado Nacional).

Generation companies may sell their power to: (i) Distribution companies through tender contracts or regulated bilateral contracts; (ii) Unregulated clients; and (iii) the spot market, where surplus energy is traded among generation companies. Generation companies are also paid for the firm capacity they contribute to the system regardless of their dispatch.

Peru’s spot price, given the definition of its ideal marginal cost, does not necessarily reflect the costs in the system, as it does not consider the current shortages in the natural gas and electricity transport system. Furthermore, it sets a ceiling price for the market. This was established in an emergency regulation in 2008 (Emergency Decree 049 of 2008) that will remain in effect at least until the end of 2016.

Legislative Decree No. 1221, published on September 24, 2015, amends certain aspects of the current framework, among others:

 

  -

In tariff distribution, VAD (Value Added Distribution) and the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) calculation will be made individually for each distribution company with more than 50,000 customers.

 

  -

The Energy and Mining Ministry will define a Technical Responsibility Zone (ZRT) for each distributor, taking into consideration the environment of the regions where they operate (near to concession zones). The works conducted at the ZRT shall be approved by the Distributor, and it will have priority to conduct them or might be subsequently transferred to them. A VAD will be recognized for investment and audited actual costs (with an upper threshold).

 

  -

Add to the VAD a charge for Technological Innovation and/or Energy Efficiency in Distribution.

 

  -

Add an adjustment factor to the VAD that encourages service quality in distribution.

 

  -

Establishes an obligation to the Distributors to assure their regulated demand for 24 months.

 

  -

Establishes an obligation to the Distributor for electric works for urban housing or return the contribution once housing has reached 40%.

  -

Regarding the concessions, it limits to 30 years those granted through bidding processes, it establishes a requirement for a favorable report of basin management for hydroelectric generation, and the granting and expiration of concessions shall be ruled through Ministry Resolution.

 

  -

Establish conditions for distributed generation of non-conventional renewable energy and co-generation that allows them to inject the surpluses to the distribution system without affecting the operational assurance.

The description of the regulatory framework in the document does not include this Legislative Decree, since most of the amended aspects will be finalized by the end of 2015 or beginning of 2016, for its subsequent implementation.

Non-conventional renewable energy

 

  -

In Brazil, the ANEEL holds auctions by technology considering the expansion plan set by the EPE, the planning agency, so that the target amount set for non-conventional renewable energy capacity is met.

 

  -

In Colombia, Law No. 697 was issued in 2001 by the Program for the Rational and Efficient Use of Energy and Other Forms of Non-Conventional Energy (Programa de Uso Racional y Eficiente de la Energía y demás formas de Energías No Convencionales - PROURE). Subsequently, indicative targets were defined for NCRE of 3.5% for 2015 and 6.5% for 2020. Law No. 1715 was enacted in 2014, which created a legal framework for the development of non-conventional renewable energy, in which guidelines for declarations of public interest, as well as tax, tariff and accounting incentives were established. As part of the implementation, the Ministry of Mines and Energy enacted Decree 2469 in 2014, establishing the guidelines for energy policy on supply of self-generation surpluses. Likewise, the Energy and Gas Regulatory Commission (CREG) issued Resolution 24/2015 regulating high-scale self-generation activity, and the Mining Energy Planning Unit (UPME) published resolution 281/2015, establishing the limit for low-scale (equal to 1MW) self-generation. Additionally, the CREG issued Resolution 11/2015 encouraging demand response mechanisms. In 2015 the CREG issued Resolution 138 that amends the remuneration scheme for confidence charged for minor plants. This new regulation establishes that such plants will belong to the centralized scheme of the charge and will declare ENFICC in order to obtain OEF assignments. If the difference between actual and programmed generation in those plants is lower than +/- 5%, they could keep the current remuneration scheme. The Ministry of Mines and Energy issued in 2015 Decree 1623 that establishes guidelines on zone expansion policies and Decree 2143 in 2015 that provides guidelines for the implementation of fiscal and tax incentives established in Law No. 1715.

 

  -

In Peru, a target of 5% has been set as the NCRE’s share in the country’s energy system. It is a nonbinding target and the regulatory agency, the Osinergmin, holds differential auctions by technology to help reach the goal.

 

  -

In Argentina, on September 23, 2015, the House of Representatives approved the new law for Renewable Energy in Argentina, replacing the current Law No. 26,190. The new regulation postpones to December 31, 2017 the goal to reach an 8% share in the national demand of energy with renewable sources for generation and establishes as a second goal to reach a 20% share in 2025 establishing mid-objectives of 12%, 16% and 18% for the end of years 2019, 2021 and 2023. The enacted Law creates a Fiduciary Fund (“FODER”) to finance works, grants tax benefits to renewable energy projects and establishes exemptions for specific taxes, national, provincial and municipality royalties until December 31, 2025. The customers categorized as Large Users (> 300 kW) shall comply on an individual basis with the renewable share goals, establishing that the price of the contracts shall not exceed 113 US$/MWh, and setting sanctions to those not fulfilling the goals.

Limits on integration and concentration

In general, all of the countries have legislation in effect that defends free competition and, together with specific regulations that apply to the electricity market, defines criteria to avoid certain levels of economic concentration and/or abusive market practices.

In principle, the regulators allow the participation of companies in different activities (e.g. generation, distribution, and commercialization) as long as there is an adequate separation of each activity, for both accounting and company purposes. Nevertheless, most of the restrictions imposed involve the transmission sector mainly due to its nature and to the need to guarantee adequate access to all agents. In Argentina and Colombia there are specific restrictions if generation or distribution companies want to become majority shareholders in transmission companies.

Regarding concentration in a specific sector, in Argentina, there are no specific limits that affect the vertical or horizontal integration of a company. In Peru, integrations are subject to authorization. In Colombia, no company may have a direct or indirect market share

of over 25% in electricity sale activities, although two criteria have been established for generating activity. One of these relates to participation limits depending on market concentration (HHI) and the size of the players according to their Firm Energy, and the other relates to pivotality conditions in the market depending on the availability of resources to meet system demand. In addition, Colombian companies created after the Public Service Law was enacted in 1994 can only engage in activities that complement generation/sales and distribution/sales. Finally, in Brazil, with the changes taking place in the power industry under Law No. 10,848/2004 and Decree 5,163/2004, the ANEEL gradually perfected regulations, eliminating concentration limits as no longer compatible with the prevailing regulatory environment. However, regulatory approval is required for consolidations or mergers to take place between players operating within the same business segment.

BUSINESS COMBINATION – ACQUISITION OF INVERSIONES GASATACAMA HOLDING LTDA.

On April 22, 2014, Endesa Chile acquired the 50% interest in Inversiones GasAtacama Holding Ltda. (hereinafter “GasAtacama”) that was held by Southern Cross Latin America Private Equity Fund III L.P. (hereinafter Southern Cross) at that time.

Consequently, the Group now has 100% of control over GasAtacama, which is the company that controls the Atacama Plant, a 780 MW capacity combined cycle thermal power plant fired by natural gas or diesel oil located in the north of Chile; the 940 km Atacama Pipeline that runs between Coronel Cornejo in Argentina and Mejillones in Chile; and the 223 km Taltal Pipeline between Mejillones and Paposo.

With control of GasAtacama, the Group’s total generation capacity in Chile’s northern grid (the Sistema Interconectado del Norte Grande, or SING) reached 1,000 MW. This is expected enable it to satisfy greater industrial, residential and mining demand through a competitively priced energy supply with a low environmental impact.

The GasAtacama acquisition was recorded using the accounting criteria for business combinations carried out in phases, as detailed in Note 2.6.1.

Since the date of acquisition and to December 31, 2014, Inversiones GasAtacama Holding Limitada has contributed ThCh$ 113,074,006 in revenues and ThCh$ 33,443,547 in profit before income tax to the Group’s results. Had the acquisition taken place on January 1, 2014, it is estimated that these amounts would have been ThCh$ 179,474,707 in revenues and ThCh$ 41,772,291 in consolidated profit before income tax for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

No risk of default is expected for the gross amount of trade and other receivables.

Given the nature of GasAtacama’s business and assets, the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed was measured using the following valuation focuses:

i. The market approach using the comparison method, based on the market prices quoted for identical or comparable items when available.

ii. The cost approach or depreciated replacement cost, which reflects adjustments for physical wear as well as for functional and economic obsolescence.

iii. The income approach, which uses valuation techniques that convert future amounts (such as cash flows or revenues and expenses) into a single present amount (that is, discounted). The fair value measurement is determined based on the value indicated for present market expectations for these future amounts.

Reconciliation of values

Finally, the fair values are reached from an assessment and reconciliation of the results obtained from the methods selected, based on the nature of each asset acquired and liability assumed.

Remeasurement of pre-existing stake and foreign currency exchange differences

The remeasurement of the fair value of Endesa Chile’s pre-existing 50% interest in GasAtacama resulted in a gain of ThCh$ 21,546,320. This amount is the positive difference arising from comparing the fair value of the pre-existing interest of ThCh$ 157,147,000, and the investment value accounted for using the equity method at the acquisition date of ThCh$ 135,600,680.

Moreover, the exchange differences on translation of the preexisting interest accumulated in the equity of Endesa Chile at the acquisition date, were reclassified to income for the period, generating a gain of ThCh$ 21,006,456.

Both amounts have been recorded in the caption “Other gains, net” in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in 2014.

Transfers of short-term funds between related parties are treated as current accounts changes, with variable interest rates based on market conditions used for the monthly balance. The resulting amounts receivable or payable are usually at 30 day terms, with automatic rollover for the same periods and amortization in line with cash flows.

Board of directors and key management personnel

The Company is managed by a Board of Directors which consists of nine members. Each director serves for a three-year term after which they can be reelected.

The Board of Directors as of December 31, 2015 was elected at the Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 27, 2015. The current Chairman, Vice-Chairman and Secretary of the Board were designated at a Board meeting held on the same date, and the appointment of new directors was made to replace those who had resigned during the period.

 

  a)

Accounts receivable and payable and other transactions

 

   

Accounts receivable and payable

There are no outstanding amounts receivable or payable between the Company and the members of the Board of Directors and key management personnel.

 

   

Other transactions

No transactions other than transactions in the normal course of business-electricity supply have taken place between the Company and the members of the Board of Directors and key management personnel.

 

  b)

Compensation for Directors

In accordance with Article 33 of Law No. 18,046 governing stock corporations, the compensation of Directors is established each year at the Ordinary Shareholders Meeting of Endesa Chile. The methodology to determining the compensation, described below, was established at the 2015 Annual Shareholders Meeting of Endesa Chile.The remuneration breaks down as follows:

 

  a)

174 UF as a fixed monthly fee, and

 

  b)

84 UF per diem for each Board meeting attended.

Both fees are 100% higher for the Chairman and 50% higher for the Vice Chairman.

If any Director of the Company is a member of more than one Board in any Chilean or foreign subsidiaries and/or associates, or holds the position of director or advisor in other Chilean or foreign companies or legal entities in which the Company has a direct or indirect ownership interest, that Director can be compensated for his/her participation in only one of those Boards or Management Committees.

The Executive Officers the Company and/or any of its Chilean or foreign subsidiaries or associates will not receive any compensation or per diem if they hold the position of director in any of the Chilean or foreign subsidiaries or associates of the Group.

Directors’ Committee

Each Directors Committee member receives 58 UF monthly as a fixed payment for the meeting and 28 UF for each session attended with an unlimited number of sessions.

At the 2015 Annual Shareholders Meeting of Endesa Chile the amendment was approved to modify the remuneration methodology of the Board of Directors adopted at the 2014 Annual Shareholders Meeting. This amendment eliminates the limit of 12 remunerated sessions per year and establishes the fixed monthly payment of 58 UF for each session which had assisted in the aforementioned period mentioned above the limit of 12 sessions.

The enactment of Law No. 20,382 on improved Corporate Governance resulted in the merger of the Directors’ Committee and the Audit Committee.

Ampla Energía E Serviços S.A. (Ampla) and Compañía Energética Do Ceará S.A. (Coelce) (subsidiaries of our associate Enel Brasil S.A.)

On September 11, 2012, the Brazilian Government issued Provisional Resolution No. 579. This provisional resolution, which became definitive on January 13, 2013, directly affects companies dealing with concessions of generation, transmission and distribution of electricity, among others Ampla and Coelce (subsidiaries of our associate Enel Brasil S.A.). In accordance with this legal provision, the Government in its capacity as grantor shall use the New Replacement Value (NRV) for the calculation of the value of investments linked to reversible assets, which will be paid to the concessionaires as a compensation for assets that have not been written up at the end of the concession period.

These new circumstances changed the approach for classification and valuation of the compensation amounts, expected at the end of the concession period, which subsidiaries report to our associate. Previously, following the historical cost of the investment approach, these amounts were recognized as accounts receivable. Currently, calculated based on NRV, these amounts are classified as available-for-sale financial assets. Considering the above, the amounts that Ampla and Coelce expect to receive at the end of the concession period were re-estimated, resulting in increase as of December 31, 2015 of asset and recognition of financial income for ThCh$ 61,136,882, which led to increase of ThCh$ 13,848,637 at the level of Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. (as of December 31, 2014 decrease of assets and recognition of financial costs for ThCh$ 68,728,638, which led to decrease of ThCh$ 13,099,670 on the level of Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A.). Share of profit and losses of Enel Brasil were classified as profit after tax for the year from discontinued operations (see Note 4.1).

-       Restrictions on funds transfers from associated companies

Enel Brasil must comply with certain financial ratios or covenants that require a minimum level of equity and restrict the transferring of assets to its owners. The Company’s ownership interest in Enel Brasil’s restricted net assets as of December 31, 2015 totaled ThCh$ 100,594,399.

As of December 31, 2015 investment in Enel Brasil was classified as non-current assets and disposal groups held for distribution to owners (see Note 4.1).

Commitments and contingencies

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014 associated companies and joint ventures did not have significant commitments and contingencies.

On May 2, 2012, Empresa Eléctrica Pangue S.A. merged with Compañía Eléctrica San Isidro S.A.; which was merged with Endesa Eco S.A. on September 1, 2013; which was merged with Compañía Eléctrica de Tarapacá S.A. on November 1, 2013; it is the latter company that legally continues to exist.

 

  3.

Compañía Eléctrica San Isidro S.A.

On August 11, 2005, Endesa Chile acquired social rights of Inversiones Lo Venecia Ltda., which hold as an only asset 25% stake in the company San Isidro S.A.

On September 1, 2013 the company San Isidro S.A. was merged with Endesa Eco S.A., the latter being the legal successor company.

On November 1, 2013 Endesa Eco S.A. was merged with Compañía Eléctrica de Tarapacá S.A., the latter being the legal successor company.

 

  b)

    Discontinued operations

 

  1.

Hidroeléctrica El Chocón S.A.

On August 31, 1993, the Group acquired 59% of Hidroeléctrica El Chocón in an international public bidding process held by the Argentine government.

 

  2.

    Other information related to continuing operations

 

  1.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014 the Group had contractual commitments for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment amounting to ThCh$ 226,793,675 and ThCh$ 89,623,698, respectively.

 

  2.

The Company and its Chilean subsidiaries have insurance policies for all risks, earthquake and machinery breakdown and damages for business interruption with a €1,000 million limit. Additionally, the Company has Civil Liability insurance to meet claims from third parties with a €500 million limit. The premiums associated with these policies are presented proportionally for each company in the caption “Prepaid Expenses”.

The situation of certain assets has changed, primarily works and infrastructure for facilities built to support power generation in the SIC grid in 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 has resulted in a new supply configuration for the coming years, in which it is expected that these facilities will not need to be used. Accordingly, in 2009, the Company recognized an allowance account for impairment loss of ThCh$ 43,999,600 for these assets, which continues in effect.

On October 16, 2012, Endesa Chile began the collection process on all of the bank performance bonds guaranteeing compliance with the works and correct, timely execution of these works as specified in the agreement “Bocamina Thermal Plant Expansion Project”, contract ACP-003.06. This is a turnkey project for a 350 MW coal-fired thermal generation plant (“the contract”) signed entered into on July 25, 2007 between Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. (“the owner”) and the group composed of (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 Slovakian company Slovenske Energeticke Strojarne a.s. (“SES”); and (v) the Chilean company Ingeniería y Construcción SES Chile Limitada; (all referred to collectively as “the Contractor” or “the Consortium”).

These performance bonds amounted to US$ 74,795,164.44 and UF 796,594.29 (approximately US$ 38,200,000). As of December 31, 2012 it was collected US$ 93,992,554. Collection made on these bank performance bonds reduced the cost overruns incurred by the company due to breach of contract; they were capitalized into the Project.

On October 17, 2012, Endesa Chile filed an arbitration request with the International Chamber of Arbitration of Paris in order to enforce the rights conferred upon it under the Contract. On December 29, 2014, the Board of Directors of Endesa Chile accepted and approved an agreement with the Consortium which finalizes the arbitration and grants a comprehensive settlement of mutual obligations. As a result of this agreement, at the end of 2014 Endesa Chile recognized a provision for US$ 125 million (approximately ThCh$ 75,843,750), corresponding to an investment in property, plant and equipment. Finally, the payment was made on April 6, 2015.

 

  5.

At the end of 2014, Endesa Chile S.A. recognized an allowance account for impairment loss of ThCh$ 12,581,947 related to the Punta Alcalde project. This allowance arises because the current definition of the project is not fully aligned with the strategy that the Company is reformulating; particularly, with regard to technological leadership, and to community and environmental sustainability. Endesa Chile has decided to suspend the project as its profitability is still unclear (see Note 3.d).

 

  6.

At the end of 2012, our subsidiary Compañía Eléctrica de Tarapacá S.A. recognized an impairment loss of ThCh$ 12,578,098 to adjust the carrying amount of its property, plant and equipment to their recoverable value (see Note 3.d).

At the closing of 2015, a number of new facts and circumstances was evaluated by the company, which resulted in the identification of a new single CGU for all generation assets in Chile. The analysis took into account the fact that Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. performed an optimization and joint development of all assets related to generation and transmission work, centralized trade policy, with sales contracts agreed at company level and not assigned to grids. Generation of flows depends on all the assets as a whole.

Previously, the company identified one CGU for assets operating in the SIC grid and another one for assets operating in the SING, under the consideration that there were two separate markets. The new scheme posed by the interconnection of SIC and SING, unifies markets and considers formation of a single price, which was illustrated by latest bids for supply to regulated customers.

Therefore, these new conditions indicated that an impairment loss recognised in prior periods for CGUs may no longer exists or may have decreased and caused the need to reverse the impairment loss indicated above. This was based, inter alia, on the generation of additional value by the interconnection project between the SIC and SING which is expected to be operational in 2019, by better utilization of reserves, by expanding the potential market for specific impaired assets and decreasing overall risk of the portfolio. The effects of interconnection are considered in the five-year projections used by the company to perform impairment tests (see Note 3.d).

 

  7.

In line with its sustainability strategy and in order to develop community relations, Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. has decided to research new design alternatives for the Neltume project, in particular regarding the question of the discharge of Lake Neltume, which has been raised by the communities in the various instances of dialogue.

To start a new phase of research of an alternative project, which includes the discharge of water on the Fuy river in late December 2015, the Company withdrew the Environmental Impact Study. This decision applies only to the Neltume project and not to the transmission project, which continues its course on handling in the Environmental Assessment Service.

As a result of the above, as of December 31, 2015 Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. recognized a loss of ThCh$ 2,706,830, associated with the write-off of certain assets related to Environmental Impact Study, which has been withdrawn and to other studies directly linked to the old design of assets.

 

  8.

As of December 31, 2015, Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. recognized impairment of ThCh$ 2,522,445 related to wind project Waiwen. This loss was a result of new assessment of the feasibility of the project performed by the Company and a conclusion that, under existing conditions to date, profitability is uncertain.

Other information related to discontinued operations

 

  1.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014 the Group had property, plant and equipment pledged as security for liabilities in the amount of ThCh$ 13,903,028 and ThCh$ 21,952,283, respectively (see Note 34), all related to discontinued operations.

 

  2.

The foreign subsidiaries of the Company have insurance policies for all risks, earthquake and machinery breakdown and damages for business interruption with a €1,000 million limit. Additionally, the Company has Civil Liability insurance to meet claims from third parties with a €500 million limit. The premiums associated with these policies are presented proportionally for each company in the caption “Prepaid Expenses”.

In November 2010, the Combined Group signed the contract CEQ-21 with Consortium Impregilo-Obrascon Huarte Lain (“OHL”) for construction of the principal public works of the hydroelectric project El Quimbo. As of December 31, 2015 relevant works of the contract are mostly completed, and commenced the process of analysis, review and verification of all the issues inherent in the contract, especially with regard to the final acceptance of the works, required for the initiation of the final settlement process.

Within referred review and analysis, and under the general framework of the contract, the Combined Group is also verifying compliance with a series of contractual milestones (binding on the contractor of the Consortium Impregilo - OHL), whose violation leads to the application of fines or constraints, besides the additional future issues that may arise during the final settlement of the contract.

Within this milestones analysis, paragraph 15 of the contract section “works completion” was identified. This paragraph sets a deadline for the completion as October 15, 2015. Taking into account that as of December 31, 2015 this milestone has not been reached, this led to a delay of 77 days and to a possible discount to be applied to the contractor amounted to Th$ 83,849,329 pesos Colombians (ThCh$ 18,906,813).

On the other side, the contract also establishes a variation margin to the agreed amounts, so that, if the actual executed amounts are below the 85% of the estimated contract value, the Contractor will get from the administration the missing amount to reach the floor of 85% of the contract value. Reciprocally, if the actual executed amounts exceed 115% of the estimated contract value, it will be reduced by the administration and contingency by the amount exceeding this ceiling of 115% of the contract value.

Consistent with the above, the Combined Group by analyzing the activities related to the contract, identified significant variations in amounts of work (VICO) that according to the agreement would generate a discount to be applied to the contractor amounted to Th$ 8,455,079 pesos Colombians (ThCh$ 1,906,498).

Meanwhile, the Consortium Impregilo OHL presented to the Combined Group eight claims for Th$ 147,685,420 pesos Colombians (ThCh$ 33,300,929). This amount includes financial costs and estimated overruns generated by issues such as stripping, changes of materials used to fill dam and auxiliary dam, archaeological findings, achievement of skilled personnel and differences for volatility of the exchange rate. The Combined Group, based on the technical and legal analysis performed on each of the claims considers, that they would not proceed because these conditions are not specified in the scope of the contract, and not authorized by the Combined Group (as it required by the contract) to be included (agreed and settled) in the addendum 13.

Additionally, the contractor submitted notifications of the change of the orders (“NOC”) for Th$ 28,522,475 pesos Colombians (ThCh$ 6,431,406). As a result of the preliminary analysis of these notifications, the Combined Group recognized Th$ 8,425,765 pesos Colombians (ThCh$ 1,899,888) in the financial statements. The remained amounts were rejected for the reason that they correspond to costs that are not the responsibility of the Combined Group or are recognized in the Addendum 12 for the amount of Th$ 11,945,357 pesos Colombians (ThCh$ 2,693,505).

(*) See Note 6.c.

Recovery of deferred tax assets will depend on whether sufficient tax profits are obtained in the future. The Company believes that the future profit projections for its various subsidiaries will allow these assets to be recovered.

b)                As of December 31, 2015 and 2014 the Group has not recognized deferred tax assets related to tax losses carry forward totaling ThCh$ 9,925,718 and ThCh$ 9,087,377, respectively (see Note 3.o).

As of December 31, 2015 the Group recognized a deferred tax liability of ThCh$ 5,555,110 in relation with the existing taxable temporary differences arising from the investment in the subsidiaries that Endesa Chile hold in Peru, considering that, as part of the corporate reorganization, said investments are to be transferred to Endesa Américas S.A. (See Note 39).

Endesa Chile has not recognized deferred tax liabilities for taxable temporary differences associated with investment in subsidiaries 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 temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. The aggregate amount of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures for which deferred tax liabilities have not been recognized totaled ThCh$ 493,810,478 as of December 31, 2015 (ThCh$ 395,525,524 as of December 31, 2014).

Additionally, the Group has not recognized deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences which as of December 31, 2015, totaled ThCh$ 471,291,386 (ThCh$ 342,408,426 as of December 31, 2014), because that it is not probable that sufficient future taxable profits exist to recover such temporary differences.

The Group companies are potentially subject to income tax audits by the tax authorities of each country in which the Group operates. Such tax audits are limited to a number of annual tax periods and once these have expired audits of these periods can no longer be performed.

Tax audits by nature are often complex and can require several years to complete. The following table presents a summary of tax periods potentially subject to examination:

 

Country    Period

Chile

   2012-2014

Argentina

   2008-2014

Brazil

   2009-2014

Colombia

   2012-2014

Peru

   2009-2014

Given the range of possible interpretations of tax standards, 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, the Company Management estimates that the liabilities, if any, that may arise from such audits, would not significantly impact the companies’ future results.

As of December 31, 2015, assets and liabilities associated with operations of Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. outside of Chile have been classified as non-current assets and liabilities associated with disposal groups held for sale or distribution to owners. Similarly, the results have been classified as discontinued operations (see Notes 3.j, 4.1 and 39).

c)                Continuing operations

In Chile Law No. 20.780 was published in the Diario Oficial (the Official Gazette) on September 29, 2014, modifying the income tax and other tax systems. The law stipulates that, starting in 2017, the current income tax system will be replaced with two alternative tax systems: the attributed income system and the partially integrated system.

The new law gradually increases the corporate income tax rate. The 2014 rate will increase to 21%, then to 22.5% in 2015, and up to 24% in 2016. Starting in 2017, taxpayers subject to the attributed income system will pay a tax rate of 25%, while the tax rate for companies covered under the partially integrated system will increase to 25.5% in 2017 and 27% in 2018.

The law also states that corporations will automatically be subject to the partially integrated system unless a future Special Shareholders’ Meeting agrees to select the attributed income system.

In accordance with the policy disclosed in Note 3.o and assuming that the application of partially integrated system, since that is the system that will be automatically be used by corporations, and that A Special Shareholders’ Meeting has not been held to agree to use the alternate system, Endesa Chile has recognized in net profit the variations in its deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting as a direct effect of the increase in the corporate tax rate. Specifically, as of September 30, 2014, a net charge of ThCh$ 59,956,195 was recognized in Endesa Chile’s net profit, from which ThCh$ 3,351 related to discontinued operations, decreasing the net profit attributable to the Parent for ThCh$ 58,529,578.

d)                Discontinued operations

 

  -

In Colombia, Law No. 1,739 dated 2014 increased from 8% to 9% indefinitely the rate for the specific income tax for financing social programs known as CREE, levied on taxable profits earned each year for the tax year 2016 onwards. Additionally, this Law established the CREE surcharge of 5%, 6%, 8% and 9% for 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

The effect of temporary differences involving the payment of less or more income tax in the current period is recognized as a deferred tax credit or debit respectively at the tax rates in effect when the differences are reversed (39% in 2015 40% in 2016, 42% in 2017, 43% in 2018 and 34% from 2019), provided there is a reasonable expectation that such differences will reverse in the future and that the asset will generate sufficient taxable income.

As a result of this rate increase, Colombian subsidiaries recognized changes in assets and deferred tax liabilities as of December 31, 2014. The net charge to income was a profit of ThCh$ 1,766,932.

 

  -

In Peru, as of December 31, 2014 the rate of corporate income tax was established as 30% on taxable income, after deducting the employees profit share of 5% of taxable income.

Law No. 30296 of 2014 establishes that the applicable rate of corporate income tax on taxable income, after deducting the employees profit share will be as follows: 28% in 2015 and 2016, 27% in 2017 and 2018, and 26% from 2019 onwards.

As a result of this rate decrease, Peruvian subsidiaries recognized changes in assets and deferred tax liabilities as of December 31, 2014. The net charge to income was a profit of ThCh$ 18,906,796.

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.

 

  -

Each business and corporate area determines:

 

  I.

The markets in which it can operate based on its knowledge and ability to ensure effective risk management.

 

  II.

Criteria regarding counterparts.

 

  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.

 

  -

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 the Group policies, standards, and procedures.

 

  19.1

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 96% as of December 31, 2015.

 

 

F-83


Table of Contents

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 a fixed rate.

The financial debt structure of the Group detailed by fixed and/or hedged and floating interest rate on total net debt, net of hedging derivative instruments, is as follows:

Net position:

Floating interest rate

     4%         4%   

Total

     100%         100%   

 

  19.2

Exchange rate risk

Exchange rate risks involve basically the following transactions:

 

  -

Debt taken on by the Group’s companies that is denominated in a currency other than that in which its cash flows are indexed.

 

  -

Payments to be made for the acquisition of project-related materials in a currency other than that in which its cash flows are indexed.

 

  -

Revenues in Group companies directly linked to changes in currencies other than those of its cash flows.

In order to mitigate exchange rate risk, the 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.

 

  19.3

Commodities risk

The Group has a risk exposure to price changes in certain commodities, due basically 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. It also includes risk mitigation terms in certain contracts with unregulated customers and, in the case of regulated customers subject to long-term tender agreements, it determines indexation polynomials that help reduce exposure to commodity risk.

Considering the operating conditions faced by the power generation market in the countries in which the Group is represented, with drought and highly volatile commodity prices on international markets, the Company is constantly verifying the advisability of using hedging to lessen the impacts that these price swings have on its results. As of December 31, 2015, there were no hedging operations. As of December 31, 2014 there were swap hedges for 266,000 barrels of Brent oil for January 2015 and 350,000 MMBTU of Henry Hub gas for February 2015.

Depending on operating conditions, which are constantly being updated, these hedges may be modified or may cover other commodities.

Liquidity risk

The Group’s liquidity risk management policy 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 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 18, 20, and Appendix 6).

As of December 31, 2015 the Endesa Chile Group has liquidity of cash and cash equivalent totaling ThCh$ 37,425,233 and unconditionally available lines of long-term credit totaling ThCh$ 142,032,000. As of December 31, 2014, the Endesa Chile Group had liquidity of cash and cash equivalent totaling ThCh$ 38,186,573 and unconditionally available lines of long-term credit totaling ThCh$ 179,926,296.

 

  19.5

Credit risk

The Group closely monitors 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 non-significant cumulative receivables amounts.

In some countries, regulations allow the suspension of energy service to customers with outstanding payments, and most contracts have termination clauses for payment default. The Company monitors its credit risk on an ongoing basis and measures its maximum exposure to payment default risk, which, as stated above, is very limited.

Financial assets, other than trade receivables:

Cash surpluses are invested in the highest-rated local and foreign financial entities (with risk rating equivalent to investment grade whenever possible) with thresholds established for each entity.

Investments may be backed with Chilean treasury bonds and/or with commercial paper issued by the highest rated banks; the latter are preferred, as they offer higher returns (always in line with current investment policies).

Derivative instruments are entered into with entities with solid creditworthiness; all derivative transactions are performed with entities with investment grade ratings.

 

  19.6

  Risk measurement

The Endesa Chile Group measures the Value at Risk (VaR) of its debt positions and financial derivatives in order to monitor the risk assumed by the Company, thereby reducing volatility in the income statement.

The portfolio of positions included in calculating the current VaR consists of the following:

 

  -

Financial debt.

  -

Hedge derivatives for debt, dividends and projects.

The VaR determined represents the potential variation in value of the portfolio of positions described above within a quarter 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 different currencies with which our companies operate and the customary local indices used in the banking industry.

  -

The exchange rates of the various currencies used in the calculation.

 

 

F-85


Table of Contents

The calculation of VaR is based on generating possible future scenarios (at one quarter) 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 returns 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 quarterly variations in the fair value of the portfolio.

Given the aforementioned assumptions, the quarterly VaR of the positions discussed above corresponds to ThCh$ 95,917,431.

These values represent the potential increase of the Debt and Derivatives’ Portfolio, thus these Values At Risk are inherently related, among other factors, to the Portfolio’s value at each quarter’s end.

Derivative instruments

The risk management policy of the Group primarily uses interest rate and foreign exchange rate derivatives to hedge its exposure to interest rate and foreign currency risks.

The Company classifies its derivatives as follows:

 

  -

Derivatives designated for Cash flow hedges: Those that hedge the cash flows of the underlying hedged item.

 

  -

Derivatives designated for Fair value hedges: Those that hedge the fair value of the underlying hedged item.

 

  -

Non-hedge derivatives: Financial derivatives that do not meet the requirements established by IFRS to be designated as hedge instruments are recognized at fair value with changes in net profit (assets held for trading).

 

  a)

Assets and liabilities for hedge derivative instruments

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014 financial derivative transactions qualifying as hedge instruments resulted in recognition of the following assets and liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position:

  b)

Financial instruments whose fair value is classified at Level 3

The Company is involved in certain operations which require recognition of a financial liability at fair value. The fair value of Level 3 has been calculated by applying a traditional discounted cash flow method. These projected cash flows include assumptions that are primarily based on estimates for prices and levels of energy production and firm capacity, as well as the costs of operating and maintaining certain of the Company’s plants.

None of the possible reasonable scenarios foreseeable in the assumptions mentioned in the above paragraph would result in a significant change in the fair value of the financial instruments included at this level. The fair value of these financial liabilities was ThCh$ 0 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014.

(*) Provision for legal proceedings as of December 31, 2014 includes provisions of Emgesa (Colombian entities) associated with contracts related to Quimbo project for the amount of ThCh$ 17,381,792 and paid during 2015 for the amount of ThCh$ 16,914,262.

(**) See Note 3.a.

(***) Provision for environmental issuers is integrally related to “Quimbo” project of our subsidiary Empresa Generadora de Energía Eléctrica S.A.

Provision for legal proceedings mainly consist of the contingencies related to the lawsuits on administrative sanctions.

The increase in provisions for decommissioning or restoration in 2015 arises from the fact that during the fourth quarter of the year, considering the new environmental framework in Chile, the scope of the rights and obligations associated with environmenta licenses have been clarifying. Based on the above, provisions have been adjusted to reflect the best estimate at the closing date of the financial statements.

The expected timing and amount of any cash outflows related to the above provisions is uncertain and depends on the final resolution of the provisioned matters. For example, in the specific case of the legal proceedings it depends on the final resolution of the related legal claim. The Management considers that the provisions recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position adequately cover the related risks.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS

 

  23.1

General information

Endesa Chile and certain subsidiaries of the Group in Chile, Colombia, Peru and Argentina provide various post-employment benefits for all or some of their active or retired employees. These benefits are calculated and recognized in the financial statements according to the criteria described in Note 3.l.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 their billed residential electricity consumption.

Health benefit: The beneficiary receives health coverage in addition to that to which they are entitled to under applicable social security regime.

 

  -

Other benefits:

Five-year benefits: A benefit certain employees receive after 5 years; accrues from the second year onwards.

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: There is an agreement to give workers (“subject to the collective agreement”) an extraordinary bonus for years of service upon completion of the equivalent of five years of actual work.

 

  -

Defined contribution benefits:

The Group makes contributions to a retirement benefit plan where the beneficiary receives additional pension supplements upon his/her retirement, disability or death.

As of December 31, 2015, employee benefit obligations of foreign subsidiaries of Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. have been classified as liabilities associated with non-current assets held for distribution to owners. Similarly, the results for the years 2015, 2014 and 2013 have been classified as discontinued operations (see Notes 3.j and 4.1).

Reserves for Exchange differences on translation: These arise primarily from exchange differences relating to:

 

  -

Translation of the financial statements of our foreign operations from their functional currencies to our presentation currency (i.e. Chilean peso) (see Note 2.6.3);

 

  -

Translation of goodwill arising from the acquisition of foreign operations with a functional currency other than the Chilean peso (see Note 3.b).

 

   

Cash flow hedges reserves: These represent the cumulative portion of gains and losses on hedging instruments deemed effective in cash flow hedges (see Note 3.f.5 and 3.m).

 

   

Remeasurement of available-for-sale financial assets: These represent variations in fair value, net of their effect on the available-for-sale investments (see Note 3.f.1).

 

  -

Other miscellaneous reserves:

Other miscellaneous reserves primarily include the following:

 

  I.

In accordance with Official Bulletin (Oficio Circular) No. 456 from issued by the Chilean Superintendence of Securities and Insurance, this caption records the price-level adjustment of cumulative paid-in capital from the date of the transition to IFRS, January 1, 2004, to December 31, 2008.

Please note that, while the Company adopted the IFRS as its statutory accounting standards on January 1, 2009, the date of transition to that international standard used was January 1, 2004. This results from applying the exemption for that purpose in IFRS 1, “First Time Adoption”.

 

  II.

Foreign currency translation differences existing at the time of transition to IFRS (IFRS 1 exemption, First Time Adoption).

 

  III.

The effects of business combinations under common control, arising primarily from the creation of the holding company Enel Brasil S.A. in 2005 and the merger of our Colombian subsidiaries Empresa Generadora de Energía Eléctrica S.A. and Betania in 2007.

INFORMATION BY SEGMENT

The Endesa Chile’s activities were previously organized primarily around its core business, electric energy generation. Considering the differentiated information that was analyzed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, segment information had been organized by the geographical areas in which the Group operates:

 

   

Chile

   

Argentina

   

Peru

   

Colombia

However, since all non-Chilean operations are now being presented as discontinued operations in the Group’s 2015 consolidated financial statements as a result of the corporate reorgainization described in Note 4.1 and 39, the Group now only has one operating segment, which is Chile. No separate segment results information is being presented since the they are the same results reported from continuing operations in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Management has elected to present segment asset, liability and cash flow information on the previous basis of segmentation. The accounting policies used to determine that segment information are the same as those used in the preparation of the Endesa Chile’s consolidated financial statements.

Litigation and arbitration

As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, the most relevant contingent liabilities, for which no provisions have been recognized, because the Management believes that a present obligation does not exists, related to current litigation involving the Group are as follows:

 

  a)

Continuing operations

Pending lawsuits of Endesa Chile and Subsidiaries

 

  1.

In 2005, three lawsuits were filed against Endesa Chile, the Chilean Treasury and the Chilean Water Authority (“DGA”, for its acronym in Spanish), which are currently being treated as a single proceeding, requesting that DGA Resolution No. 134, which established non-consumptive water rights in favor of Endesa Chile to build the Neltume hydroelectric power plant project be declared null as a matter of public policy, with compensation for damages. Alternatively, the lawsuits request the compensation for damages for the losses 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 DGA 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. 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 15.279-2005 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. On September 25, 2014, the Court of Law issued an unfavorable ruling against Endesa Chile that in essence declared the right to use water established by DGA Resolution No. 134 illegal and orders its cancellation in the corresponding Water Rights Register of the correspondent Real Estate Registrar. Endesa Chile filed an appeal and cassation resources with the Santiago Court of Appeals, which are still pending.

 

  2.

On May 24, 2011, Endesa Chile was served with a lawsuit filed by 19 riparian owners along the Pirihueico Lake, seeking to nullify DGA Resolution No. 732, which authorized the relocation of water rights collection for the Neltume power plant, from the Pirihueico Lake drainage 900 meters downstream along Fui River. The plaintiffs seek to have this annulment annotated at the margin of the notarized instrument that memorialized the DGA Resolution No. 732, which approved the transfer of the collection. The plaintiffs also seek to have the recording of the deed struck from the Water Rights Register, 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. The plaintiffs seek to reserve their right to indicate the type and amount of damages in a subsequent legal proceeding. The claim is for an undetermined amount because the plaintiffs have requested that damages be determined in another suit, once the DGA Resolution is nullified. The discussion period has ended and the evidence action has been determined, which after notification was subject to a motion of reversal filed by the plaintiff, and to a nullity incidental plea filed by Endesa Chile, which both rejected. The proceeding was suspended by mutual agreement until March 9, 2013, after which it was immediately restarted. On August 20, 2013 the pending conciliation hearing took place without success. After the end of the ordinary, extraordinary and special periods of evidence on January 22, 2015, the parties were summoned to acknowledge the ruling, and on April 23, 2015, the Court issued a ruling accepting the complaint, declaring DGAResolution No. 732 null as public legislation. Endesa Chile, in turn, filed a writ of appeal and reversal in the form before the Santiago Court of Appeals, which are still pending of resolution.

 

  3.

On May 12, 2014, Compañía Eléctrica Tarapacá S.A., (hereinafter “Celta”) formally filed an arbitration claim against Compañía Minera Doña Inés de Collahuasi, requesting that the Arbitration Court of Law declare that through the contracts entered into in 1995 and 2001, the parties have established a long-term contractual relation, characterized by the economic balance that there must be in their reciprocal services supplied and that, due to the above, greater costs corresponding to the investment that must be made to comply with the emission standard contained in DS (Supreme Decree) (MMA) No. 13, 2011 must be shared by the parties. Based on this, the defendant should start paying up to the maturity is the aggregate of the contract, a fixed monthly charge that through March 31, 2020 would amounts to US$72,275,000 (approximately ThCh$ 51,326,814), for the proportional part of the investments that the defendant must pay due to the Supreme Decree mentioned above.

The claim was notified on July 3, 2014. On August 8, 2014, Collahuasi contested Celta’s claim and filed a counterclaim against Celta requesting that the Court declare that Celta has violated the prohibition to call on as precedent what was agreed to in the modifications of the 2009 supply contracts, reserving the right to discuss and prove the amount of damages. On August 26, 2014, Celta filed its response to the main claim and contested the counterclaim. On September 11, 2014 Collahuasi filed its rejoinder to the main claim and its response to the counterclaim. On October 1, 2014, Celta filed its response to the counterclaim. Additionally, the Arbitration Judge formulated a questionnaire with questions separately to each one of the parties and also with common questions for both.

Once the parties responded to the questions, the arbitrator gave the parties a deadline of January 16, 2015 to contest or observe the answers provided and the documents attached specifying the contrary. The arbitrator gave the parties for their study a base for an agreement.

 

  4.

In August 2013, the Chilean Superintendence of the Environment (SMA, for its acronym in Spanish) filed charges against Endesa Chile alleging several violations of Exempt Resolution No. 206, dated August 2, 2007 and its supplementary and explanatory resolutions that environmentally certified the Bocamina Thermal Power Plant Extension Project. These alleged violations are related to the cooling system discharge channel, an inoperative Bocamina I desulphurizer, non-compliance with information delivery obligations, surpassing CO limits, failures in the acoustic perimeter fence of Bocamina I, excessive noise levels and having no technological barriers that prevent the massive entry of biomass in the intake of the central power plant. Endesa Chile submitted a compliance program that was not approved. On November 27, 2013, SMA added two additional violations to its charges. Endesa Chile presented its defense in December 2013, partially recognizing some of these violations (which could reduce the fine by 25% in case of recognition) and contesting the remainder. On August 11, 2014, the SMA passed Resolution No. 421 that fined Endesa Chile 8,640.4 UTA for environmental non-compliances that are the subject matter of the sanction proceeding. Endesa Chile filed an illegality claim against the SMA before the Third Environmental Court of Valdivia which on March 27, 2015 issued a ruling that partially annulled the sanctions imposed of by the SMA, instructing it to consider aggravating circumstances evidenced in connection with the calculation of the fine imposed. The company filed a writ of reversal in substance before the Chilean Supreme Court, which was rejected, the sanction imposed was confirmed. As of December 31, 2015, and the amount has been paid.

 

  b)

Discontinued operations

Pending lawsuits of Endesa Chile and Subsidiaries

 

  1.

In 2001, a lawsuit was filed against Endesa Chile’s Colombian generation subsidiary Emgesa S.A. E.S.P., as well as the non-related companies, Empresa de Energía de Bogotá S.A. E.S.P. (EEB) and Corporación Autónoma Regional de Cundinamarca (CAR), by the residents of Sibaté, in the Colombian Department of Cundinamarca. This lawsuit seeks to hold the defendants jointly liable for the damages and prejudices derived from the pollution to the El Muñá dam reservoir, resulting from the pumping of polluted waters from the Bogotá River by Emgesa. Emgesa has denied these allegations arguing, among others, that it does not have any responsibility since it receives the waters already contaminated. The plaintiffs’ initial demand was for approximately Th$3,000,000,000 colombian pesos (approximately ThCh$ 675,000,000). Emgesa filed a motion for the joinder of numerous public and private entities that dump into the waters of the Bogotá River or that in any way are responsible for the environmental stewardship of the river basin. The Third Section of the State Council has received the petition and ordered certain companies joined as defendants. In January 2013, several of the defendants filed responses to the complaint. In June 2013, a motion to annul the proceedings was denied. The resolving preliminary objections and the summons to a conciliation hearing are currently pending. In June 2015 a resolution was enacted instructing the dismissal of EEB by reason of a nullity defect as well as the exclusion of those entities that had been identified by the Cundinamarca Administrative Court as defendants for having polluted the waters of Bogotá River, which had been confirmed by the State Council. A motion for reversal was filed against this decision, or an appeal. The resolution of such actions is pending.

 

  2.

A class action lawsuit has been filed by residents of the Colombian Municipality of Garzón, alleging that the construction of the El Quimbo hydroelectric project has caused the plaintiffs’ income from handicrafts or entrepreneurial activities to decrease by an average of 30%. The lawsuit claims the decrease was not considered when the project’s social-economic impact report was drafted. Emgesa has denied these allegations on the basis that (i) the social-economic impact report complied with all methodological criteria, including giving all interested parties the opportunity to be registered in the report, (ii) the plaintiffs are not residents and therefore, compensation is allowed only for those whose revenues are, in their majority, coming from of their activity in the direct area of influence of the El Quimbo hydroelectric project and (iii) compensation must not go beyond the “first link” of the production chain and must be based on the status of the income indicators of each affected person. A proceeding was filed in parallel by 38 inhabitants of the Municipality of Garzón, who are claiming compensation for being affected by the El Quimbo hydroelectric project since they were not included in the social-economic impact report. A mandatory settlement hearing was unsuccessful. The court ordered a test, which is currently in the preliminary phase. In the parallel proceeding, an exception previous of pending lawsuit was filed, based on the existence of the principal proceeding. The proposed exception is pending ruling. The amount involved in this proceeding is estimated to be approximately Th$93,000,000 colombian pesos (approximately ThCh$ 20,925,000).

The fiscal authority in Peru, SUNAT (in Spanish Superintendencia Nacional de Administración Tributaria), questioned Edegel in 2001 regarding the manner in which it was accounting for the valuation of its depreciating assets. Edegel had conducted a voluntary reevaluation for the 1996 fiscal year, and as a result of such reevaluation it recorded a reduction of goodwill with respect to assets. This depreciation was recorded as an expense. The amount rejected by SUNAT is related to financial interest paid during the construction phase of the power plants. SUNAT claims (i) that Edegel has not demonstrated that it was necessary to obtain financing to build the power plants and (ii) that such financing was actually incurred. Edegel has responded that SUNAT cannot request such evidence because the reevaluation assigns the assets a market value when the reevaluation was performed, instead of the historical value of the assets. In this case, the methodology considered that the power plants of such scale were built with financings. In addition, Edegel claimed that if SUNAT disagreed with the valuation, it should have conducted its own appraisal, which it failed to do. On February 2, 2012, the Tax Court (“TF”) issued a ruling for the 1999 fiscal year in favor of two of Edegel’s power plants, and against four power plants, based on the fact that a verified financing was only evidenced for the first two power plants. Consequently, the TF ordered SUNAT to recalculate the taxes payable by Edegel, which amounted to ThCh$ 8,474,708 (€11 million) that were paid by Edegel in June 2012. This amount will be recovered if Edegel obtains favorable rulings in the following claims it has subsequently filed:

 

  (i).

an administrative contentious claim before the Judicial System against the TF’s ruling, filed in May 2012 (which would result in a complete recovery of the taxes).

 

  (ii).

a partial appeal against the recalculation that SUNAT performed according to TF’s ruling, on the basis that the recalculation was incorrect, filed in July 2012 (which would result in a partial recovery of the taxes).

In August 2013, Edegel received notice of an unfavorable ruling with respect to claim i). Edegel filed an annulment appeal against the ruling, since the resolution violates its motivation right and it is untimely. In May 2015, Edegel received notice of the resolution of the Court of Appeal which: (i) annulled the resolution from the Justice Department (“JD”) which rejected the petitions of the demand of the company; (ii) the claims rejected were declared admitted; and (iii) it was ordered to the JD to return to the stage of determination of the controversy points. In June 2015, Edegel received notice from the JD that it declared admitted the claims rejected and it was submitted to the attorney general’s office for issuance of a new pronouncement (in Peru when the Government is engaged as a party in a judicial process a general attorney designated by the Public Ministry must be involved, in order for him to be informed and to opine regarding the controversy. Such opinion is not binding for the judge or the Court that must resolve the litigation).

For the 2000 to 2001 fiscal years, Edegel paid ThCh$ 3,852,140, the equivalent of €5 million, and made a provision of ThCh$ 770,428 (€1 million).

In November 2015, Edegel was notified through Resolution No. 15281-8-2014, stating that the TF ruled with respect to the indicated appeal by which it was declared annulled the Resolution where the SUNAT objected to the loss deductions related to the financial derivative instruments. Then, it confirmed the objections related to the non-deductibility of depreciation of the non-accredited technical assistance services rendered to Generandes and the financial interests accrued on the loans for the acquisition of treasury shares; and, finally, it revoked both matters. It is important to note that, although the TF’s resolution revoked the objections related to the excess in depreciation of the revalued assets, it nevertheless, stated that the SUNAT will apply what is resolved in the company’s appeal of Income Taxes filed for the fiscal year 1999 (EXp. No. 10099 to 2012), which is still pending resolution.

In December 2015, it still pending that the TF submit the case to the SUNAT in order for it to recalculate the debt based on the established criteria.

For the 1999 fiscal year it is expected that the Judicial System will enact a new resolution on the Edegel lawsuit and that the TF will decide on the partial appeal filed by Edegel. For the 2000 and 2001 fiscal years, filed new evidence in order to reduce amount of that could be paid from ThCh $4,622,568 (€6 million) to ThCh$ 1,001,556 (€1.3 million); however, the TF could determine that the evidence is inadmissible as untimely. In December 2014, the TF enacted a resolution on the appeal filed by Edegel, but it has not yet been notified. Notification is expected. TF is expected to forward the case to the SUNAT for the recalculation of the debt according to the established criteria.

The amount involved in these proceedings is S/.63,944,287 (approximately ThCh$ 13,305,207), which is divided between the assets amount of S/.59,819,819 (approximately ThCh$ 12,447,008) and the liabilities amount of S/. 4,124,468 (approximately ThCh$ 858,198).

The Regional Autonomous Corporation of Cundinamarca (CAR for its acronym in Spanish) in Colombia, through Resolution No. 506, enacted on March 28, 2005, and Resolution No. 1189, enacted on July 8, 2005, imposed on Emgesa S.A.E.S.P., EEB and Empresa de Acueducto y Alcantarillado de Bogotá (“EAAB”) the execution of construction work on the El Muña dam reservoir, whose effectiveness, among other things, depends on maintaining Emgesa’s water concession. Emgesa S.A.E.S.P. filed an action for annulment and reestablishment of Law against these Resolutions before the Administrative Court of Law of Cundinamarca, Section One. The first instance court rejected the annulment of the resolutions mentioned above. Appeals were filed by Emgesa, EEB and the Empresa de Acueducto y Alcantarillado de Bogotá, which are pending resolution decision. Also, there is another action for annulment and reestablishment filed by Emgesa against the CAR for annulment of Article 2 of Resoultion 1318 of 2017 and Article 2 of Resolution 2000 of 2009, both of which imposed to Emgesa the implementation of a Contingency Plan and to carry out an study on “Air Quality” for the potential suspension of water pumping in the dam reservoir. This action pretends to annul the administrative acts imposed due to impracticability to anticipate the “Air Quality” and the implementation of the “Contingency Plan”. In this action it was presented a favorable accountant expert report, for which it was requested clarification to Emgesa. It is pending clarification of previous expert report and a second expert report to value the Works anticipated by the company. The amount at issue is undetermined.

In February 2015 Emgesa was notified of a Popular Action filed by Comepez S.A. and other fish farming companies located near the Betania dam, on the grounds of the protection of the right to a healthy environment, public health and food safety, in order to prevent, in the opinion of the plaintiffs, the danger of a massive fish mortality among other damages from the filling of the reservoir for the El Quimbo Hydroelectric Project dam, also located at the basin of the Magdalena river. Regarding the status of the proceeding, the Huila administrative court issued in February 2015, a preliminary injunction that prevents the filling of the El Quimbo dam reservoir until the river has reached optimal flow, among other requirements. Emgesa filed a motion for reversal against this decision requesting a probation order and the release of such measure, which motion was dismissed by the court. The appeal filed by Emgesa was granted only in the remand effect. The preliminary injunction was amended, allowing Emgesa to start filling the dam reservoir. Nevertheless, CAM, the regional environmental authority, in Resolution No. 1503 issued on July 3, 2015 directed Emgesa to temporarily stop filling the El Quimbo dam reservoir. The legal actions to be adopted are under analysis by Emgesa, notwithstanding the filling procedure continues normally. The appeal is pending. The Colombian Government, through Decree 1979, has requested the lifting of the generation suspension and reported that Emgesa must abide by such Decree. On December 15, 2015, the Constitutional Court decided that the referred Decree 1979 was unenforceable, consequently, EMGESA suspended at midnight of that date the generation of energy at El Quimbo. Emgesa presented presented the corresponding arguments.

On December 24, 2015, the Ministry of Energy and Mining and the National Authority of Aquaculture and Fishing (“AUNAP”) filed a writ of protection of constitutional rights to Civil Courts of Circuito de Neiva as a transitional mechanism to avoid damage, and meanwhile the Huila administrative court decides on releasing the precautionary measure, they requested the generation of energy of El Quimbo. Moreover, they requested to authorize such generation as an interim measure until a ruling on the writ of protection is made. On January 8, 2016, Emgesa was notified of the decision of the Civil Court of Circutio de Neiva which authorized Emgesa to immediately restore the generation of energy as a transitional measure until the Huila administrative court decides on releasing or not the precautionary measure. The amount of this proceeding is undetermined.

In Brazil, Basilus S/A Serviços, Empreendimentos e Participações (successor to Meridional S/A Serviços, Empreendimentos e Participações from 2008) is the holder of the litigation rights that it acquired from the construction companies Mistral and CIVEL, which had a civil works contract with Centrais Elétricas Fluminense S.A. (CELF). This contract was terminated before CELF’s privatization process. Since CELF’s assets were transferred to Ampla during the privatization process, Basilus (previously Meridional) sued Ampla in 1998, arguing that the transfer of the referred assets was done in detriment of its rights. Ampla only acquired assets from CELF, but is not its legal successor since CELF, a state-owned company, still exits and maintains its legal personality. Basilus demanded payment of pending invoices and contractual penalties for termination of the civil works contract. In March 2009, the court decided in favor of Basilus, and Ampla and the State of Rio de Janeiro filed the corresponding appeals. On December 15, 2009, the State Court accepted the appeal and overturned the lower court’s decision obtained by Basilus, in Ampla’s favor. Basilus filed an appeal against the resolution, which was denied. In July 2010, Basilus filed an Appeal under Specific Court Regulations (Agravo Regimental) before the Superior Court of Justice of Brazil, which also rejected the appeal in August 2010. Seeking to overturn such decision, Basilus filed a Petition for Writ of Mandamus (Mandado de Seguranca), which

was also rejected. In June 2011, Basilus filed an Appeal to Amendment of Judgment (Embargos de Declaração) in order to clarify a supposed omission by the Superior Court of Justice in the decision on the Petition for Writ of Mandamus, which was not accepted by the court. Against this decision, Basilus filed an Ordinary Appeal (Recurso Ordinario) before the Superior Court of Justice (in Brasilia). On March 28, 2012 the Reporting Justice decided the Ordinary Appeal in favor of Basilus. 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 Ordinary Appeal of the Petition for Writ of Mandamus must be submitted to the decision by an en banc session and not by a single Reporting Justice. Basilus challenged the decision. The decision of August 28, 2012 was published on December 10, 2012, and the Appeal to Amendment of Judgment had been filed by Ampla and the State of Rio de Janeiro to remedy the existing error in its publication, in order to avoid future divergence. Basilus filed its arguments and on May 27, 2013, the Appeal to Amendment of Judgment filed by Ampla and the State of Rio de Janeiro were accepted and the error corrected. On August 25, 2015 the appeal filed by the plaintiff was rejected. The decision was published on December 10, 2015, and Basilus filed an appeal to Amendment of Judgment, which is pending resolution. The amount involved in this proceeding is estimated to be approximately R$1,344 million (approximately ThCh$ 244,430,592).

The Brazilian Internal Revenue Service (IRS) claims an alleged underreporting of dividends by Endesa Brasil, now called Enel Brasil than it reported. The Brazilian IRS claims that the total amortization of goodwill (greater value) recorded by Enel Brasil, in 2009 in the equity accounts, should have been recorded in the comprehensive income accounts. As a result, the procedure performed was inadequate and a greater profit would have been generated and consequently, a higher amount of dividends distributed. The alleged surplus in dividends was interpreted by the Brazilian IRS as payments to non-residents, which would be subject to a 15% income tax retained at the source. Enel Brasil responded that all the procedures adopted by Enel Brasil were based on the company’s interpretation and in accordance with Brazilian accounting standards (Brazilian GAAP), and confirmed by the external auditor and by a legal opinion (from Souza Leão Advogados). Enel Brasil has filed its defense in the administrative first instance and is waiting for an administrative first instance ruling. The amount involved in this proceeding is R$233 million (approximately ThCh$ 42,375,244).

In December 2001, the Brazilian Federal Constitution was amended to apply the CONFINS tax (Contribuicao para o Financiamento da Seguridade Social) a tax levied on revenues, to electricity energy sales. The Constitution states that the changes on social contributions are effective 90 days after their publication. Ampla started to pay this COFINS tax in April 2002. However, the Brazilian Internal Revenue Service notified Ampla that the 90-day delay of entry into force is applied to statutory amendments, but are not applicable to constitutional amendments, which are effective immediately. In November 2007, the appeal filed before the Taxpayers Council (Consejo de Contribuyentes), the administrative appeals level, ruled against Ampla. In October 2008, Ampla filed a special appeal that was rejected. On December 30, 2013, Ampla was notified of the decision to reject its position that the COFINS tax payments were not due for the period from December 2001 to March 2002 based on the Constitution providing that legislative changes are effective 90 days after their publication. Ampla filed a judicial proceeding to obtain a certification of fiscal good standing in order to continue receiving public funds and was required to post a bond for the tax debt. Under the new standard on surety bonds published in March 2014, the bond amount must be 120%, rather than the previous 130%, of the tax debt and the bond was reduced to € 44 million. Ampla submitted the new surety bond, complying with the new requirements. The Brazilian Treasury accepted the surety bond and granted the certification of fiscal good standing. The Brazilian Treasury submitted the fiscal execution and Ampla opposed its defense in July 2014. It is not necessary to submit a new surety bond since the bond posted to obtain the certification of fiscal good standing can be used for this proceeding. The amount involved in this case is estimated to be approximately R$ 149 million (approximately ThCh$ 27,098,332).

In August 1996, Ampla obtained a favorable ruling granting it an exemption from paying the COFINS tax for the period prior to the 2001 amendment of the Brazilian Federal Constitution which expressly made electric power operations subject to the COFINS tax. Following the definite decision in favor of Ampla issued in 2010, the Brazilian Treasury attempted to overturn the 1996 decision favorable to Ampla through a recession action. Ampla refiled a suit originally filed in 1996 seeking a refund of its COFINS tax payments from April 1992 to June 1996, based on the favorable ruling in the first lawsuit described above. The suit seeking a refund of the COFINS tax had been suspended pending the resolution of the first lawsuit above. In June 2013, Ampla received a favorable decision entitling it to a refund of its COFINS tax payments for the periods requested. The Brazilian Treasury appealed the decision. In October 2014, the Court of the State of Río de Janeiro ordered a new trial since it considered that the Brazilian Treasury did not have the opportunity to manifest in the prior decision judgment. In May 2015, the Brazilian Treasury presented its final plea and in July 2015 a new favorable first instance ruling entitling Ampla to a refund of its COFINS made from 1992 to 1996 was issued. In August 2015, the tax authorities filed an appeal at the Court of the State of Rio de Janeiro. The sum Ampla has requested as a tax refund amounts to R$ 167 million (approximately ThCh$ 30,371,956).

In 2002, the State of Rio de Janeiro issued a decree stating that the ICMS (a tax similar to the Chilean Value Added Tax) should be paid and filed on the 10th, 20th and 30th days of the same month of the tax accrual. Ampla continued paying ICMS in accordance with the previous system (filing within five days after the end of the month of its accrual) and did not adopt the new system between September 2002 and February 2005 due to cash flow issues. Additionally, Ampla filed a lawsuit to dispute the constitutionality of the new filing requirement. These lawsuits were unsuccessful, and Ampla has filed suit alleging constitutional violations before the Brazilian Supreme Federal Tribune. Since March 2005, Ampla has been paying the ICMS according to the new system. In September 2005, the IRF imposed on Ampla a penalty fee and interests due to the delay in filling the ICMS as set forth in the aforementioned decree of 2002. Ampla appealed the resolution before the Administrative Courts, based on the fiscal Amnesty Laws of the State of Río de Janeiro published in 2004 and 2005 (forgiving interest and penalties if the taxpayer paid the taxes due).

Ampla alleges that if the aforementioned tax amnesties are found to be inapplicable to it, the law would punish taxpayers that are delayed only a few days in their tax payments (as in the case of Ampla) more harshly than those who failed to pay their taxes and later formally adopted the various tax amnesties and thus, regulate their tax situation through the filing of overdue unpaid taxes.

On May 9, 2012, The “En Banc Council” (a special body within the Taxpayers Council, representing the last administrative instance) issued a judgment against Ampla. The decision was notified on August 29, 2012. Ampla appealed to the State Public Treasury (Hacienda Pública Estadual) using a special review procedure based on the equity principle, before the Governor of the State of Río de Janeiro. The appeal has not been resolved and therefore, the tax should be suspended. However, the State of Río de Janeiro recorded the tax due in the Public Register as if demandable and therefore, on November 12, 2012, Ampla was obliged to post a surety bond in the amount of € 101 million (R$ 293 million) in order to receive a certification of fiscal good standing to continue receiving public funds. On June 4, 2013, in a decision of second instance, the State Public Treasury obtained a ruling against Ampla’s surety bond. In September 2013, Ampla filed a letter of guarantee to substitute for the surety bond rejected by the court. However, Ampla reiterated to the attorney of the State, the petition of review, which is still pending decision. Despite this, the State Public Treasury submitted the fiscal execution and Ampla opposed its defense. It is not necessary to submit a new surety bond since the bond posted to obtain the certification of fiscal good standing can be used for this proceeding. In June 2015, the Supreme Court of Brazil issued a favorable ruling for Ampla for a lawsuit filed in 2002 to dispute the constitutionality of the new filing requirements. This resolution will lead to the suspension of the collection procedures of penalties and interests, since the tax is already paid. The State of Rio de Janeiro might eventually appeal, but its likelihood of winning are very limited as the outcome of the procedure was issued by the plenary. Also, the sentence will mean the release of the guarantee. The decision was published on October 2, 2015 and the Brazilian Treasury has 10 days to appeal. Once elapsed the period the resolution becomes final, and at that time the resolution will be presented to the administrative collection body (process). The State Public Treasury did not file an appeal and on October 25, 2015, Ampla presented to the special collection body the favorable resolution to it issued by the Brasilia Supreme Court. The amount involved in this proceeding is R$ 285 million (approximately ThCh$ 51,832,380).

In order to fund the purchase of Coelce in 1998, Ampla issued long-term debt abroad through securities called Fixed Rate Notes (FRNs) which were governed by a special tax regime whereby interest payments received by non-resident holders were exempt from taxation in Brazil, as long as the debt was issued with a minimum maturity of 8 years. In 2005, the Brazilian IRS notified Ampla the special tax regime did not apply based on its understanding that prepayments were made before the stated maturity, due to the fact that Ampla had received financing in Brazil which was allocated to the FRN holders. Ampla argues that these two transactions are independent and legally valid. The non-application of the special tax regime means that Ampla would have failed to comply with its obligation to retain the tax and to record it as interest payments made to non-resident holders. The tax resolution was appealed and in 2007 the Taxpayers Council (Consejo de Contribuyentes), the administrative appeals level, annulled it. However, the Brazilian Internal Revenue Service (responsible for tax collection and compliance with tax laws) contested this decision before the Superior Chamber of Fiscal Resources (Cámara Superior de Recursos Fiscales), the final administrative appeals level, and on November 6, 2012, it ruled against Ampla. The decision was notified to Ampla on December 21, 2012. On December 28, 2012, Ampla filed a Petition for Clarification of the Decision (Embargo de Aclaración) before the Superior Chamber of Fiscal Resources in order to obtain a final resolution regarding contradictory points of the decision and to incorporate in it the relevant defense arguments that were omitted. The petition was denied. As a consequence, Ampla filed a judicial proceeding to obtain a certification of fiscal good standing in order to continue receiving public funds. Ampla was required to post a bond for the tax debt. Under the new standard on surety bonds published in March 2014, the bond amount must be 120%, rather than the previous 130%, of the tax debt and the bond was reduced to € 331 million. Ampla submitted the new surety bond, complying with the new requirements. The Brazilian Treasury accepted the surety bond and granted the certification of fiscal good standing. The Brazilian Treasury submitted the fiscal execution and Ampla opposed its defense on June 27, 2014. It is not necessary to submit a new surety bond since the bond posted to obtain the certification of fiscal good standing can be used

for this proceeding. It is important to mention that the final unfavorable decision of the Superior Chamber of Fiscal Resources could lead to a possible criminal proceeding against some employees and managers of Ampla. The amount involved in this case is estimated to be approximately R$ 1,128 million (approximately ThCh$ 205,147,104).

The Trade Union of Niterói, representing 2,841 employees, filed a labor claim against Ampla, requesting the payment of salary differences of 26.05% retroactive to February 1989, pursuant to the Economic Plan instituted by Law Decree No.2,335/87. In the court of first instance, the decision was partially unfavorable for Ampla. The court ordered payment of the salary differences requested retroactive to February 1, 1989, and legal fees of 15% of such amount. Ampla filed several appeals, among them an Extraordinary Appeal which is currently pending. A mandatory mediation was unsuccessful. In parallel, Ampla has filed a motion for Advanced Dismissal of Enforcement (Exceção de Pré-Executividade) based on the jurisprudence of the Federal Supreme Court, which has previously declared the non-existence of a right acquired on the URP readjustment of Law Decree No. 2,335/87. In addition, Ampla alleged the exception of the payment for these readjustments and, alternatively, requested the limitation of this readjustment using October 1989 salaries as a baseline. In the court of first instance, Ampla obtained the declaration of unenforceability of legal title, against which the applicant filed an appeal (Agravo de Petição). The decision was partly favorable regarding the exception of payment, but not regarding the limitation of the salary differences, using October 1989 salaries as a baseline. On September 10, 2014, the court rejected the Special Appeals (Agravo de Instrumento) presented by both parties, who filed a Petition for Clarification of the Decision (Embargos de Aclaración) against this judgment. In June 2015, Ampla presented its arguments to the Court regarding the Extraordinary Appeal filed by the Union, which were rejected by the Court. On December 16, 2015 the Extraordinary Appeal has been submitted to the Superior Court of Law for its judgment. The amount involved in this proceeding is estimated to be approximately R $ 63,678,286 (approximately ThCh$ 11,581,042).

Companhia Brasileira de Antibióticos (Cibran) filed suit against Ampla in order to receive compensation for the loss of products and raw materials, machinery breakdown, among other things that occurred as a consequence of poor service provided by Ampla between 1987 and May 1994 and compensation for moral damages. This litigation is related to other five actions filed by Cibran against Ampla based on power outages allegedly caused by Ampla in the period from 1987 to 1994, 1994 to 1999 and part of 2002. The judge decided to conduct a single expert assessment for these various claims, which was in part adverse to Ampla. Ampla challenged such assessment and requested a new expert assessment. On September 5, 2013, the judge rejected the prior petition, whereupon Ampla filed a Petition for Clarification of the Decision (Embargo de Aclaración) and subsequently a Special Appeal (Agravo de Instrumento), both of which were rejected by the court. Against the latter, Ampla filed a Special Appeal before the Superior Court of Justice, which is pending review. In September 2014, a first instance judgment in one of these proceedings ordered Ampla to pay compensation of R$ 200,000 (approximately ThCh$ 36,373) for moral damages, in addition to the payment of material damages caused due to failures in supply of service, which have to be assessed by an expert in the sentence execution stage. Ampla filed a Clarification Attachment against this ruling that was rejected.

In December 2014, Ampla filed an appeal, currently pending decision. On June 1, 2015, a judgement in other of the proceeding ordered Ampla to pay moral damages of R$80,000 (approximately ThCh$ 14,534), in addition to material damages for Ampla’s failures in supply of service of R$95,465,103 (approximately ThCh$ 17,362,047) (plus price-level restatement and interest). Ampla filed a Petition for Clarification of the Decision (Embargo de Aclaración) against this judgement, which was rejected by the court. Ampla has filed an appeal. In the remaining proceedings, a first instance court ruling is pending. The amount involved for all these cases is estimated to be approximately R$ 374,014,593 million (approximately ThCh$ 68,021,285).

In October 2009, Tractebel Energía S.A. sued CIEN claiming an alleged breach of the contract “Purchase & Sale Agreement for 300 MW of Firm Capacity with related energy originating from Argentina” signed in 1999 between CIEN and Centrais Geradoras do Sul do Brasil S.A (which is now known as Tractebel Energía). Tractebel Energía asked the court to order CIEN to pay a rescission penalty of R$ 117,666,976 (approximately ThCh$ 21,399,857) plus other fines due to the unavailability of energy. The breach allegedly occurred due to a failure by CIEN to ensure sufficient capacity as contracted with Tractebel Energía during the 20-year period, which allegedly took place beginning in March 2005. In May 2010, Tractebel Energía notified CIEN via a written statement, but not judicially, its intention to exercise step-in rights of Line I (30%). The proceeding is currently at the first instance. CIEN petitioned to join this proceeding with the lawsuit filed by it against Tractebel Energía in 2001, which involves a dispute relative to exchange rates and taxing issues. The petition to join both proceedings was rejected by the court. Subsequently, CIEN filed a request to suspend the proceeding for 180 days in order to avoid potentially divergent decisions. The court ordered the suspension of proceedings for one year pending the outcome of the other lawsuit of CIEN against Tractebel Energía. The court issued a resolution extending this suspension until July 9, 2015. This proceeding has not had any changes as of to date.

In 2010, Furnas Centrais Eletricas S.A. filed a suit against CIEN, based on CIEN’s alleged breach of the contract “Firm Capacity Purchase with Related Energy for the purchase of 700 MW of firm capacity with related energy originating from Argentina”, which was signed in 1998 with a term of 20 years beginning in June 2000. In its lawsuit, Furnas requested a compensation of R$ 520,800,659 (approximately ThCh$ 94,716,974) corresponding to a rescission penalty included in the contract, plus adjustments and default interests, from the date of filing of the claim until actual payment. Furnas also requested for additional penalties based on the lack of availability of the “firm power and related energy” and for other damages to be determined upon the final decision. The first trial judgment denied the claims of Furnas for CIEN’s responsibility for breach of its contractual obligations. The Court recognized the existence of force majeure because of the energy crisis in Argentina. The claimant filed an appeal against this sentence. In July, CIEN presented its arguments to the Court regarding the appeal filed by Furnas. Moreover, regarding the foreign language documents presented by CIEN, the judge of first instance determined that those documents would be excluded from the lawsuit, which decision was confirmed by the 12th Civil Section of the State Court. CIEN has filed a Special Appeal (Recurso Especial) against this decision, which will be decided by the Superior Court of Justice. In addition to the foregoing, CIEN received a notice from Furnas, not at the judicial headquarters, indicating that in case of rescission due to CIEN’s breach, Furnas would have the right to acquire 70% of Line I.

In 1982 under the framework of an electricity supply network expansion in Brazilian rural areas, which was financed principally by international development banks (IDBs), the then-state-owned Coelce signed contracts with 13 cooperatives at the request of the Brazilian government and the IDBs to implement this project. Under the contracts, Coelce operated and maintained the assets and paid a monthly fee, which was adjusted for inflation. These contracts were of indefinite length and failed to clearly identify the networks that were under their scope due the public nature of Coelce and the fact that they were often repaired, creating a confusion between the assets that were operated and maintained by Coelce, and the assets that were owned by it. From 1982 until June 1995 COELCE regularly paid rent for the use of the electric system to cooperatives, updated monthly by the relevant rate of inflation. However, from June 1995, Coelce, he was still state-owned, decided not to continue updating the value of payments nor make adjustments which they came. In 1998 Coelce was privatized, at which time it became part of the Enersis Group, and continued to pay the rent of networks cooperative mode was being done even before its privatization, that is, without updating lease values. Consequence of the above, some of these cooperatives have brought legal action against Coelce, among which highlight the two actions initiated by Cooperativa de Eletrificacao Rural do V do Acarau Ltda (Coperva) and filed by Coperca and Coerce. After 13 years of regular performance of the lease by making payments adjusted for inflation, in 1995 Coelce started making payments without adjustment, and continued to do so after its privatization in 1998. In view of the foregoing, some of these cooperatives have filed claims against Coelce for the payment of the adjustment for inflation.

Coelce’s defense is basically grounded on the argument that the adjustment is not applicable, since the assets lacked value due to their very extended useful lives, taking into consideration their depreciation; or, alternatively, if the assets were deemed to have any value, it would be very low since Coelce performed their replacement, extension and maintenance. The amount involved in this litigation is approximately R$179,581,359 (approximately ThCh$ 32,660,102). One of the plaintiffs in this litigation, Cooperativa de Eletrificação Rural do V do Acarau Ltda (Coperva), filed a review action requesting expert evaluation of the issue. Once the expert report was delivered, Coelce claimed there were technical inconsistencies therein and requested a new evaluation to be conducted, but the court denied the claim and ruled the “anticipated execution of the decision”, which entails the preliminary determination of the adjusted monthly payments Coelce should have made and ordering the immediate payment of the difference between such adjusted values and the values Coelce actually paid. An appeal has been filed and a precautionary measure has been obtained in favor of Coelce, staying the anticipated execution of the decision. On April 7, 2014 a court of first instance denied Coperva’s claims. Coperva has appealed and the decision is pending. Another plaintiff in the ligation filed a review action in 2007, through which Coperva is attempting to readjust the lease value of its distribution lines (in the central region of the State of Ceará), to be calculated at 1% of the value of the asset leased, estimated by Coperca to be at R$15.6 million (approximately ThCh$ 2,837,140). This proceeding is in a first instance and has not yet started the evidence presenting stage. The amount involved in this proceeding is estimated to be R$94,359,638 (approximately ThCh$ 17,160,998). In Coelce’s case, the review action was filed in 2006 and Coelce is attempting to readjust the lease value of its distribution lines (in the central region of the State of Ceará), to be calculated at 2% of the value of the asset leased. The amount involved in this proceeding is R$108,628,889 (approximately ThCh$ 19,756,118). This proceeding, as well as the one for Coperva, has not been advanced by the plaintiff and both are in their first instance.

Coelce bills the “low income” consumer with a social discount that determines a final rate called “baja renta” (low income). The State compensates Coelce for this discount as a state subsidy. The ICMS (a tax similar to the Chilean Value Added Tax) is

transferred (deducted) by Coelce over the amount of the normal rate (without the discount). On the other hand, the State of Ceará establishes that the ICMS does not apply to billings that fluctuate between 0 and 140 kW/h. Also, Coelce, in order to calculate the ICMS deducible amount in reference to the total ICMS supported in energy purchases must apply the “pro rata” rule. The rule states that the percentage that represents revenues subject to ICMS over the total income (whether or not subject to ICMS). Coelce considers, for the purpose of its inclusion in the pro rata denominator, that the revenue not subject to ICM is the result of applying the end sales price of energy (price after the subsidy is discounted) and the Brazilian IRS holds that the income not subject to ICMS is the price of the normal rate (without discounting the subsidy). The Brazilian IRS’s position implies a lower ICMS deduction percentage. The Brazilian Treasury view is that the “ICMS pro rata” calculation should be based on the normal rate value in “low income” energy sales cases, instead of the reduced rate that Coelce uses. The Brazilian Treasury criteria results in a greater ICMS non-recoverable percentage, which results in a higher ICMS payable.

Coelce argues that its calculation is correct, since it must be used in the “ICMS Pro Rata” calculation, reducing the value of the ICMS rate since that is the accurate value of the energy sales transaction (the ICMS’s base is the transaction value of the merchandise sold). In reference to the 2005 and 2006 litigation, after the unfavorable decision in the administrative process, Coelce is waiting for the filing of the State’s judicial execution. However, Coelce has already presented the banking guarantee in order to assure its right to obtain the Regular Tax Certification. In reference to the 2007, 2008 and 2009 litigation, Coelce filed the administration defense, and the decision is pending. In reference to 2010, the proceeding was received in January 2015 and Coelce filed first instance administrative defense. The next step is to continue with the defense of judicial and administrative processes. The amount of these claims is R$123 million (approximately ThCh$ 22,369,764).

  1.

In February 2004, two Brazilian taxes, COFINS and PIS were amended from an accrued regime (rate of 3.65% without credit deduction) to a non-accrued regime (9.25% with credit). According to legislation, long term assets and service supply agreements performed before October 31, 2003 under “predetermined price” could remain in the accrued regime. Endesa Fortaleza had entered into energy purchase agreements that complied with the requirements, and as a result the revenues for such agreements were initially taxed under the accrued regime, which is more advantageous. In November 2004, an administrative order was released which defines the concept of “predetermined price”. According to it, CGTF agreements (Endesa Fortaleza) must be subject to the non-accrued regime. In November 2005, a new Law clarified the “predetermined price” concept. On the basis of the 2005 legislation, the regime that should be applied to the agreements was the accrued regimen (more advantageous). Besides, the ANEEL issued a (Administrative Law) Technical Note indicating that the agreements entered into by virtue of its standards and with its approval comply with the legislative requirement. PIS and COFINS paid in excess under the non-accrued regime by CGTF and CIEN between November 2004 and November 2005, originate tax credits which were used to pay other taxes due. Nevertheless, in 2009 the tax authorities rejected the compensation procedures. In February 2007, the Brazilian tax authorities audited Endesa Fortaleza regarding the payment of PIS/COFINS tax during December 2003 and from February 2004 to November 2004. The audit resulted in a claim alleging differences between the amounts stated in Fortaleza’s annual tax return (where the PIS/COFINS tax amounts were reported under the new non-accrued regime) and the amounts stated in monthly tax returns (where the amounts due were reported under an older accrual system). On appeal, the Taxpayer’s Council confirmed the validity of the compensations of credits resulting from the regime change of PIS/COFINS. The Brazilian Treasury can file a Special Appeal before the Superior Chamber of Fiscal Resources (Cámara Superior de Recursos Fiscales). The amount involved in this proceeding is R$75 million (approximately ThCh$ 13,640,100).

The management of Endesa Chile considers that the provisions recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements are adequate to cover the risks resulting from litigation described in this Note. It does not consider there to be any additional liabilities other than those specified.

Given the characteristics of the risks covered by these provisions, it is not possible to determine a reasonable schedule of payment dates if there are any.

Financial restrictions

A number of the Group’s loan agreements include the obligation to comply with certain financial covenants, which is normal for the contracts of this nature. There are also affirmative and negative ratios requiring the monitoring of these commitments. In addition, there are restrictions in the events-of-default clauses of the agreements which require compliance.

Cross Default

Some of the financial debt contracts of Endesa Chile contain cross default clauses. The credit line agreements governed by Chilean law, which Endesa Chile signed in February 2013, stipulate that cross default arises only in the event of non-compliance by the borrower itself, with no reference made to its subsidiaries; i.e., Endesa Chile. In order to accelerate payment of the debt in these credit lines due to cross default originating from other debt, the amount overdue of a debt must exceed US$50 million, or the equivalent in other currencies, and other additional conditions must be met such as the expiry of grace periods. Since being signed, these credit lines have not been disbursed. They mature in February 2016. Endesa Chile’s international credit line governed by New York State law, which was signed in July 2014 and expires in July 2019, also makes no reference to its subsidiaries, so cross default arises only arise in the event of non-compliance by the borrower itself. For the repayment of debt to be accelerated under this credit facility due to cross default on another debt, the amount in default should exceed US$50 million or its equivalent in other currencies. It must also meet other conditions, including the expiration of any grace periods and a formal notice of the intent to accelerate the debt repayment must have been served by creditors representing more than 50% of the amount owed or committed in the contract. This line of credit has not currently been used.

Regarding the bond issues of Endesa Chile registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), commonly called “Yankee Bonds”, a cross default can be triggered by another debt of Endesa Chile 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 Endesa Chile’s Yankee Bonds. Its longest-term Yankee Bonds mature in February 2097, while others mature in 2024, 2027 and 2037. Specifically for those maturing in 2024 (issued in April 2014), the threshold for triggering cross default increased to US$50 million or its equivalent in other currencies.

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 bondholders’ 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 Group’s financial covenants 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 Endesa Chile bonds issued in Chile include the following financial covenants whose definitions and calculation formulas are established in the respective indentures:

Series H

- Consolidated Debt Ratio: The consolidated debt ratio, which is Financial debt to Capitalization, must 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 shareholders of Endesa Chile, and Non-controlling interests. As of December 31, 2015, the ratio was 0.19.

- Consolidated Equity: A minimum Equity of Ch$761,661 million must be maintained; this limit is adjusted at the end of each year as established in the indenture. Equity corresponds to Equity attributable to the shareholders of Endesa. As of December 31, 2015, the equity of Endesa Chile was Ch$2,648,190 million.

- Financial Expense Coverage: A financial expense coverage ratio of at least 1.85 must be maintained. Financial expense coverage is the quotient between i) the Gross margin plus Financial income and Dividends received from associates, and ii) Financial expenses; both items refer to the period of four consecutive quarters ending at the close of the quarter being reported. For the year ended December 31, 2015, this ratio was 8.21.

- Net Asset Position with Related Companies: A net asset position must be maintained with related companies of no more than 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 of 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 Américas 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 Américas S.A. has no participation, and long-term transactions of associates of Endesa Chile in which Enersis Américas S.A. has no participation. As of December 31, 2015, using the exchange rate prevailing on that date, the Net asset position with related companies was a negative US$341.86 million, indicating that Enersis Américas S.A. is a net creditor of Endesa Chile rather than a net debtor.

Series M

- Consolidated Debt Ratio: The consolidated debt ratio, which is Financial debt to Capitalization, must 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; and Other financial liabilities, non-current; while Capitalization is the sum of Financial liabilities and Equity. As of December 31, 2015, the debt ratio was 0.19.

- Consolidated Equity: Same as for Series H.

- Financial Expense Coverage Ratio: Same as for Series H.

The rest of Endesa Chile’s debt and the undisbursed credit lines include other covenants such as leverage and debt coverage ratios (Debt /EBITDA ratio), while the Yankee Bonds are not subject to financial covenants.

In the case of Endesa Chile as of December 31, 2015, the most restrictive financial covenant was the Debt Ratio requirement for the credit line under Chilean law, which was early closed on January 18, 2016.

In Peru, the debt of Edegel S.A.A. (Edgel) includes the following covenants: Debt and Debt Coverage (Debt Ratio/EBITDA) Ratios. As of December 31, 2015, the most restrictive financial covenant for Edegel was the Debt/EBITDA Ratio corresponding to the finance lease with Banco Scotiabank, which expires in March 2017.

In Argentina, Central Costanera S.A. (Costanera) has just one covenant, the maximum debt, corresponding to a loan from Credit Suisse First Boston International which matures in February 2016. The debt of Hidroeléctrica El Chocón S.A. (El Chocón) includes covenants related to Maximum Debt, Net Consolidated Equity, Interest Coverage, Debt Coverage (Debt /EBITDA) and the Leverage ratio. As of December 31, 2015 the most strict covenant was the Leverage ratio for the syndicated loan, maturing in September 2016.

In Colombia, the debt of Emgesa has only one covenant, Net Debt / EBITDA, corresponding to the loan with the Bank of Tokyo maturing in June 2017. However, the obligation to comply with this covenant is subject to a downgrade in the Emgesa’s credit rating that could result in losing in Investment Grade quality, as stated in the debt agreement. As of December 31, 2015, the covenant was not triggered.

The other Group companies not mentioned in this Note, are not subject to compliance with financial covenants.

Lastly, in most of the contracts, debt acceleration for non-compliance with these covenants does not occur automatically, but is subject to certain conditions, such as a cure period.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, no company of the Group was in default under their financial obligations summarized herein or other financial obligations whose defaults might trigger the acceleration of their financial commitments, with the exception of our power generation Argentine subsidiaries Hidroeléctrica El Chocón at the close of December 2014.

This situation does not represent a risk of default or a breach for Endesa Chile.

As of December 31, 2015, all assets and liabilities related to the generation business outside of Chile have been classified as non-current assets and liabilities held for distribution to owners (see Note 4.1).

Continuing operations

Centrales Hidroeléctricas de Aysén

 

  -

In May 2014, the Committee of Ministers revoked the Environmental Qualification Resolution (“RCA”) of the HidroAysén project, in which Endesa Chile participates by accepting some of the claims filed against this project. It is a public information that this decision was resorted before the Environmental Courts in Valdivia and Santiago. On January 28, 2015, it was made public that the water rights request made by Centrales Hidroeléctricas de Aysén S.A. (hereinafter “Hidroaysén”) has been partially rejected in 2008.

Endesa Chile has expressed its intention to thrive at Hidroaysén the defense for water rights and the environmental qualification granted to the project in the corresponding instances, continuing with the judicial actions already started or implementing new administrative or judicial actions that are necessary to this end, and it maintains the belief that hydric resources of the Aysen region are important for the energy development of the country.

Nevertheless, given the current situation, there is uncertainty on the recoverability of the investment made so far at Hidroaysén, since it depends both on judicial decisions and on definitions in the energy agenda which cannot be foreseen at present, consequently the investment is not included in the portfolio of Endesa Chile’s immediate projects. Consequently, at closing date of fiscal year 2014, Endesa Chile recorded a provision for impairment of its participation in Centrales Hidroeléctricas de Aysén S.A. amounting of ThCh$ 69,066 (approximately US$ 121 million) (see Note 13.1.a), which remains in effect as of December 31, 2015.

Discontinued operations

Central Costanera S.A.

 

  -

On July 17, 2015, and in force as of the economic transactions corresponding to February 2015, Resolution S.E. No. 482/2015 was enacted which, among other aspects updated the remuneration of the MEM’s generating agents of thermal conventional type or hydraulic national (with the exception of the hydraulic bi-national), replacing to this end Schedules I, II, III, IV and V of Resolution S.A. No.529/14, and including a new remuneration concept that is the Investment Writ FONINVEMEM 2015-2018, which application is from February 2015 until December 2018, for those generating companies participating in investment projects approved or to be approved by the Secretary of Energy. In this sense, each generation unit built within the framework of the FONINVEMEM 2015-2018 investments is granted a Direct FONINVEMEM 2015-2018 remuneration equal to 50% the Direct Additional Remuneration for a period of up to 10 years from its commercial implementation.

On June 5, 2015, our generating subsidiaries in Argentina entered into the “Agreement of Management and Operation of Projects to Increase the Availability of Thermal Generation and Adjustment of the Generation Remuneration 2015-2018”, hereinafter FONINVEMEM 2015-2018, and adhered to all the terms established in such agreement on July 2, 2015. Adhering includes the irrevocable commitment to participate in the formation of FONINVEMEM 2015-2018, undertaking according to point 3.2.v of the Agreement to contribute with the Sales Statements with a Maturity to be defined (LVFVD) and/or Collectibles accrued or to be accrued during the entire period between February 2015 and December 2018 not previously committed to similar programs, together with all unused Collectibles. Both the Secretary of Energy and the generating agents that adhered to the Agreement maintain the right to consider this Agreement lawfully terminated if during the 90 days indicated in point 9 of the Agreement the corresponding supplementary agreements are not entered into.

By adhering to such Agreement, generating companies will participate, together with other Generating Agents, in the construction of a Combined Cycle of about 800 MW +/- 15%, which shall generate both with natural gas and with gasoil and biodiesel. The new combined cycle will be subject to a bidding in order to be implemented no longer than 34 months after the work is granted.

Notwithstanding the above, our subsidiary in Argentina, Central Costanera still shows a deficit in its working capital, causing difficulties to its financial balance in the short term which compromise its future capability to continue operating as a company and to recover assets. Central Costanera expects to revert the current situation provided that there is a favorable resolution on the requests made to the National Government of Argentina.

On March 18, 2015, the Undersecretary of Electric Energy issued its Note S.E. No. 476/2015, which establishes the procedure to coordinate the remuneration according to Resolution S.E. No. 95/2013 and the Availability Agreements for Combined Cycles and Turbosteam entered into between Central Costanera S.A. and CAMMESA, as from February 2014. As established in the above, Central Costanera S.A. shall temporarily relinquish to receive the Additional Remuneration Trust established Resolution S.E. No. 95/2013, its amendments and supplements which were already undertaken, as well as the Remuneration for Non Recurrent Maintenance as established in Resolution S.E. No. 529/2014, its amendments and supplements.

The procedure implies the reversal of the deductions made and applied to the Company as established in Notes S.E. No. 7594/2013 and No. 8376/2013, as from the effective date of this standard. Since the economic transaction in the month of January, 2015, the concepts relinquished by the Company shall be applied to the compensation funds transferred by CAMMESA to the company as of that date to perform the tasks provided for in the agreements. In case the amount accrued for this concept it not sufficient to offset the total funds transferred by CAMMESA to the Company, they shall be accrued in a special account “Available Agreements Account”. In order to materialize the conditions established above, the company and CAMMESA should enter into the corresponding addendum to the agreements.

On July 3, 2015 the company entered into the addendum with CAMMESA to the Availability Agreements for Combined Cycles and Turbosteam. These Agreements regulations plus the amendments introduced by the addendum regulate the agreement between the parties and they shall be understood as entirely valid until the validity term established in such agreements expires.

As a consequence of the above, during the year 2015 a decrease of Ar$ 14,418,986 (approximately ThCh$ 1,020,869) in revenues for sales and a net loss of Ar$ 59,225,685 (approximately ThCh$ 4,193,197) in other operating income/expenses were recognized.

In December 2014, the Vuelta de Obligado (VOSA) thermal plant started to operate it open cycle with two gas turbines of 270 MW each, it is expected the closing as combined cycle of high efficiency in October 2016.

According to the technical report issued by VOSA’s authorities, the gas turbines have passed all operational tests and have functioned properly. There is still pending to nationalize very few components to complete stage two, and there is certainty that the works will be completed and implemented in 2016.

Based on above, in December 2015 the effects of the dollarization of the receivables were accounted for, resulting in recognition of the following income:

 

  -

Exchange difference for dollarization of the receivables at an exchange rate lower than the closing exchange rate of 2015 for Ar$ 1,323,430,283 (ThCh$ 93,699,288) in Hidroelectrica El Chocón S.A. and Ar$ 129,092,580 (ThCh$ 9,139,796) in Central Costanera S.A.

 

  -

Interest accrued between the maturity date of each sale settlement contributed to the VOSA project and the sign-off date of the Agreement at the interest rate that CAMMESA obtains for its financial deposits, capitalized and dollarized in accordance with above, for Ar$ 49,797,906 (ThCh$ 3,525,708) in Hidroelectrica El Chocón.

 

  -

Interest accrued on dollarized receivables, once included the interests mentioned in the previous paragraph, at an interest rate LIBOR 30 days + 5%, for a total of Ar$ 493,816,698 (ThCh$ 34,962,380) in Hidroelectrica El Chocón and Ar$ 43,989,703 (ThCh$ 3,114,485) in Central Costanera S.A.

On July 25, 1990, the Italian Government authorized MedioCredito Centrale to grant a financial loan to the Government of the Republic of Argentina of up to US$ 93,995,562 aimed to finance the acquisition of assets and the delivery of services of Italian origin, used in the restoration of four groups at the thermal station owned by Servicios Eléctricos del Gran Buenos Aires (“SEGBA”) (Electric Services for Great Buenos Aires). This loan financed the acquisition of assets and services included in the Work Order Nº 4322 (the “Order”) issued by SEGBA in favor of a consortium headed by Ansaldo S.p.A. from Italy.

In accordance with the terms of the “Contract related to the Work Order No. 4322”: (i) SEGBA granted to Central Costanera S.A. a power to manage the execution of the services contained in the Order, and it performed the works and services that

Table of Contents

according to the Order corresponded to SEGBA; and (ii) Central Costanera S.A. undertook to pay to the Secretary of Energy of the Nation (the “Secretary of Energy”) the capital installments plus interests originated by the loan granted by MedioCredito Centrale, at an annual rate of 1.75% (the “Contract”).

As a collateral for the compliance with the economic obligations undertaken by Central Costanera S.A., the buyers set up a pledge over the total shares owned by them. In the event of non-compliance which provokes the execution of the collateral, the Secretary of Energy will be entitled to immediately proceed with the sale of the pledged shares through a public bid, and it could exercise the political rights related to the pledged shares.

By reason of application of Law No. 25,561, Decree No. 214/02 and its regulatory stipulations, the payment obligation by Central Costanera S.A. resulting from the Contract and subject to the Argentinian legislation was mandatorily converted into Argentine pesos, at an exchange rate of one Argentine peso equivalent to one U.S. dollar, plus the application of the stabilization reference coefficient (“CER”), maintaining the original interest rate of the obligation.

On January 10, 2003, the National Executive Power enacted Decree No. 53/03 which amended Decree No. 410/02 by incorporating a paragraph j) in its first article. By means of this standard, the obligation to deliver funds in foreign currency to the province states, municipalities, companies of the public and private sector and the National Government originated by subsidiary or other nature loans and guarantors originally financed by multilateral credit organizations, or originated by liabilities assumed by the National Treasury and refinanced with external creditors is exempt from the mandatory conversion into Argentine pesos.

Central Costanera S.A. considers that the loan resulting from the Contract does not match with any of the assumptions provided for in Decree No. 53/03, and even if it did, there are solid grounds to consider Decree No. 53/03 unconstitutional since it evidently violates the principle of equality and the right of property as established in the National Constitution.

On May 30, 2011, the company repaid the last installment of the loan’s capital and notified this fact to the Secretary of Energy and to the Secretary of Finance and, even if as of the date of these financial statements the Secretary of Energy has not made any claim for the payments effected by Central Costanera S.A., on October 22, 2015 we received a letter from the Secretary of Finance – Director for the Administration of the Public Debt, which indicates that the Ministry of Economy and Public Finance included the balance of the debt for the financial credit with MedioCredito Centrale in the agreement entered into with the Club of Paris creditors on April 30, 2014. According to the letter, the Secretary also claims from Costanera the reimbursement of US$5,472,703.76 without providing grounds for such request.

As a result, Central Costanera S.A. rejected the indicated requirement indicating, among other, that (i) it does not have a debt related to the Contract since May 30, 2011, the company repaid the last installment of it and notified such circumstance to the Secretary of Energy and to the Secretary of Finance, (ii) the creditor has not expressed any caution to the Contract payments derived from the mandatory conversion into Argentine pesos imposed by the Argentinian legislation, and (iii) notwithstanding the fact that the company does not acknowledge the terms of the agreement entered into with the Club of Paris creditors, the decisions of the Argentinian Government regarding the debt with such organization are unrelated to the company.

The Secretary of Finance, due to the rejection from Costanera, submitted the DADP Note No. 2127/2015 attaching Resoultion DGAJ No. 257501 from the Ministry of Economy and Public Finance, insisting on the existence of the debt and requesting the Company to pay the claimed amounts. The Company filed a hierarchy appeal so as to the Minister of Economy and Public Finance revoke the petition of the note due to lack of legitimacy.

Endesa Chile

 

  -

In January 2013, Endesa Chile was notified of SEF Exempt Resolution 2496 fining the Company 10 UTA, equivalent to ThCh$ 4,952 for violating Article 123 of Decree Law (DFL) 4/20,018 of 2006 due to its failure to report to the SEF the commissioning of its electricity facilities by the deadline provided for in that law. To clear the charges, Endesa Chile paid the fine in full. Closed and paid in September, 2012.

 

  -

In the first quarter of 2013, Endesa Chile was notified of three resolutions issued by the Health SEREMI (Regional Ministerial Office) of the Maule Region, Resolutions 1057, 085 and 970, which ruled on health summary proceedings RIT Nos. 355/2011, 354/2011, and 356/2011, respectively, imposing a 20 UTM fine for each of the proceedings. The fines were imposed for the following violations: Resolution 1057 penalizes a health violation of Decree 594 of 1999, Regulations on Basic Health and Environmental Conditions in the Workplace, specifically, at the Cipreses Plant facilities; this fine has been paid in full.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

  1)

On January 8, 2016, Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. reported that three people that had illegally occupied the First Tower have vacated it beginning that date, which will allow Bocamina power plant to begin again its operation in the next hours. The First Tower is supporting circuit 154 kv and 220 kv, owned by Transelec, which serves the Bocamina power plant. The financial effects due to this illegal occupation that Endesa Chile had to assume during the interruption of the transmission of electrical energy, amounted ThCh$ 2,698,608 (US$ 3.8 million), as contribution margin loss between November 23, 2015 and January 7, 2016.

At the level of the electrical system, this situation impacts the rising global costs of supplying demand, increasing spot prices and the anticipated use of hydroelectric reserves, which in the coming months will not be available.

 

  2)

On January 29, 2016 Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. reported that in compliance with the agreement reached at the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of Endesa held on December 18, 2015 (hereinafter “Meeting”), the Board of Directors of Endesa acknowledges that the condition precedent regarding the spin-off of Endesa has been met as of January 28, 2016, and accordingly has also arranged to grant the public deed that declares the completion of the condition precedent, entitled “Public Deed of Compliance of the Condition of the Spin-Off of Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A.”, effective on the same date.

Consequently, and as agreed at the Meeting, the Endesa’s Spin-Off took effect on Tuesday, March 1, 2016, whereupon the new corporation, Endesa Américas S.A. (“Endesa Américas”), began to exist, and verifies the capital decrease and the other amendments to the by-laws of Endesa Chile that have been approved.

Additionally, as a result of formalization of Endesa Chile’s spin-off, it was triggered on that date the obligation for Endesa Chile to pay taxes in Peru for a total amount of $558 million of Peruvian Soles (approximately ThCh$112,187,442). This tax, that was paid during March 2016, is applicable under the Peruvian Income Tax Law to the transfer of the ownership interests that Endesa Chile held in that country that where transfer to Endesa Américas S.A. The tax is calculated as the difference between the disposal value and the acquisition cost of the ownership interests previously mentioned.

It is noted that, as agreed to at the Meeting, the Board of Directors of Endesa Américas, proceeds in due time to request the registration of Endesa Américas S.A. and its respective shares in the Securities Registry of the Superintendence of Securities and Insurance and in the Stock Exchanges where the shares of Endesa Chile are currently traded. The distribution, and the material delivery of the shares issued by Endesa Américas S.A. will take place at a date established by the Board of Directors of Endesa Américas S.A., once the shares registration in the Securities Registry of the Superintendence of Securities and Insurance and Chilean Stock Exchanges are complete, and when the legal and regulatory requirements have been fulfilled. The paid-in capital allocated to Endesa Américas S.A. amounted to ThCh$ 778,936,764.

 

  3)

As of April 13, 2016, the Superintendence of Securities and Insurance (Superintendencia de Valores y Seguros, “SVS”) proceeded to record Endesa Américas and its shares in the Securities Registry, according to a certificate issued by this entity, and that it has made the respective listings in the Santiago Stock Exchange, the Valparaíso Stock Exchange, the Chile Electronic Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange of United States of America, all in accordance with the decision made at the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A. held on December 18, 2015. Therefore, the shares of the divided equity of Endesa Américas were distributed free of any payment to the shareholders of Endesa Chile entitled to receive them as of April 21, 2016.

2.    Summary of 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 uncertainties inherent to the estimation process. The Group 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).

The authorization for completion of preparation of these financial statements was on March 28, 2016.

  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.

Foreign currency translation

The Group’s consolidated financial statements are presented in Brazilian Reais (R$), which is also the parent company’s functional currency.

In the preparation of the 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 recognized as financial income or expense, in the income statement.

Assets and liabilities of the foreign indirect subsidiaries are translated into Brazilian Reais at the exchange rate ruling on 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. On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of other comprehensive income relating to that particular foreign operation is recognized in income statements.

  2.5.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Enel Group 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.

 

  2.5.1.

Distribution revenue

Electric energy distribution services are measured by reference to electric energy amounts delivered within a given period. 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.

 

  2.5.2.

Transmission revenue

Transmission revenue is recognized 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 recognized by reference to amounts reported by the National System Operator (ONS) and refers to revenue from the transmission system availability.

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 meter reading and the last day of the month.

 

  2.5.4.

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 Enel Group 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) Enel 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.

 

  2.5.5.

Interest income

Interest income is recognized 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.

Financial instruments

The Group classifies its financial instruments in accordance with the purpose for which they were acquired, and determines the proper classification at initial recognition.

 

  a)

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. Enel Group determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition, as they become part of the instrument’s contractual provisions.

Financial assets are recognized 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.

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 Enel 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 recognized in the income statement.

Subsequent measurement (Continued)

 

Held-to-maturity investments

Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities are classified as held-to-maturity when the Enel 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. 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 amortization of the effective interest rate is included in the income statement as financial income.

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 amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment. Amortized 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 amortization is included in finance income in the income statement. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in the income statement as financial cost.

Interest income is recognized at the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest is immaterial.

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.

(c)     Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

After initial measurement, available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses recognized as other comprehensive income until the investment is derecognized, except for impairment losses, interest calculated using the effective interest rate method and exchange gains or losses on monetary assets, which are recognized in the profit or loss of the period.

When the investment is derecognized or determined to be impaired, cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income must be recognized 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 derecognized when:

 

   

The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired.

 

   

The 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.

  a)

Financial assets

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.

 

  b)

Financial liabilities

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.

Loans and borrowings are initially recognized at fair value, net of directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

The Group has derivatives financial instruments from cash flow hedges operations represented by swap agreements, in order to partially hedge the exposure of the CDI rate produced by its debentures and derivatives represented by “Non-Deliverable Forward (“NDF’s”) in order to protect the cash flow of payments of future commitments in foreign currency (USD) established in the gas purchase agreement. The effective portion of cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income, in equity and subsequently reclassified to profit and loss when the hedged item affects the results. The relevant note includes more detailed information about the derivative financial instrument contracted by the Group.

Subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as follows:

Financial liabilities at fair value through income statement

Financial liabilities at fair value through income statement include financial liabilities held for trading and financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through income statement.

The Group does not present any financial liability at fair value through income statement.

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 recognized 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. Gains and losses are recognized in the income statement when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the effective interest rate method during the amortization process.

Derecognition (write-off) of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognized 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 recognized in the income statement.

 

  c)

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 recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

 

  d)

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.

  e)

Cash flow hedge

Derivatives designated as cash flow hedge provides protection against changes in cash flows that are attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable transaction that could affect profit and loss.

At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Enel Group formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which it wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The documentation includes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the entity will assess the effectiveness of changes in the hedging instrument’s fair value in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item’s fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. Such hedges are expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they actually have been highly effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which they were designated.

If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised without replacement or rollover (as part of the hedging strategy), or if its designation as a hedge is revoked, or when the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI remains separately in equity until the forecast transaction occurs or the foreign currency firm commitment is met.

Indemnification assets (concession)

The financial asset is recognized when the Company has the unconditional right of receiving cash or cash equivalents in the end of the concession, as an indemnification for the investments made and not recovered through the services provided within the period of the agreement.

 

  2.8.

Intangible assets

The company recognizes as intangible assets the right of charging the users for the energy distribution services provided – concession agreements.

The intangible asset is stated by the cost of acquisition and/or the cost of construction, including the construction margin. The intangible asset begins its amortization when available for use, in the place and condition required to be able to operate as intended by the Company.

The share of investments linked to reversible assets, not yet amortized or depreciated until the end of the concession is classified as an indemnification asset based on the characteristics established in the concession agreement, which management believes are met observing the requirements for the application of technical interpretation IFRIC 12 – Concession Contracts.

Amortization of intangible assets reflects the pattern in which it is expected that the future economic benefits of the asset are consumed by the Company. The consumption pattern of the assets is related to their economic life in which the assets built by the Company are part of the calculation basis for measuring the performance of the concession rate. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost to their residual values over their estimated useful lives.

Concession right from acquisition

The fiscal benefit originated by the concession right from acquisition recorded in the balance sheet of Enel Brasil 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.

Property, plant and equipment

Enel Group property, plant and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Group recognizes such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciates them accordingly. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognized is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from their use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the income statement when the asset is derecognized.

 

  2.10.

Income and social contribution taxes

Current and deferred income tax and social contribution are calculated at rates of 15% plus a surcharge of 10% on the taxable income that exceeds R$240 for income tax and 9% on taxable income for social contribution on net income, and consider the offsetting of losses on income taxes and social contribution carryforwards limited to 30% of taxable income annually.

The expense with income tax and social contribution comprises current and deferred taxes. The current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit and loss unless they are related to the business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

 

  a)

Current taxes

Current tax is the tax payable or receivable on the estimated taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. It is measured based on the tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Current taxes (continued)

 

The active current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if the Company has a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

 

  b)

Deferred taxes

Deferred taxes are recognized based on the temporary differences at the end of the reporting period between tax bases of assets and liabilities and their corresponding book values.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow the way in which the Company expects to recover or settle the book value of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

Retirement and other post-employment benefits

The net obligation for retirement and other post-employment benefits is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees receive in return for their services in the current year and prior year. This benefit is discounted to determine its present value.

The calculation of the defined benefit plan obligation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method.

The deficit / surplus is calculated by deducting the fair value of plan assets. When the calculation results in a potential asset, the asset to be recognized is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. To calculate the present value of economic benefits any applicable minimum funding requirements, including debt agreements entered into by the company with the plans, are taken into account.

The measurements of the defined benefit net obligation, including: actuarial gains and losses, return on plan assets (excluding interests) and the effect of the asset ceiling (excluding interests, if applicable) are recognized in other comprehensive income. The net interests on the defined benefit liability and the service cost are recognized in the income statement. The company determines the net interest on the liability (asset) net value of defined benefits in the period based on the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation and defined liabilities, both as determined at the beginning of the year to which refer to the financial statements, taking into account any changes in the net liability value (assets) defined benefit during the period due to contributions and benefits payments. The cost of the service is calculated according to the projected unit credit method, adopted in the calculation of actuarial liabilities, net of contributions by participants. When the benefits of a plan are increased, the portion of the benefit increased related to past services rendered by employees is recognized immediately in the year they occur in the statement of income for the year, as part of the service cost; gains and losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income also are recognized in profit or loss in the settlement, or partial settlement, of the respective plan.

Provisions for tax, civil and labor risks

Provisions for contingencies (labor, civil and tax) are recognized when the Company has a present or non-formalized obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. When there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood to settle them is determined taking into consideration the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognized even if the likelihood of settlement related to any individual item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate which reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the obligation due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense. For purposes of the financial statements, the provision for contingencies is stated net of escrow deposits based on the related contingent obligations.

 

  2.13.

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.

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, including significant risk of future adjustments in the book value of assets and liabilities for the following financial year, are discussed below. Management based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available at the financial statement date. Any future changes in these parameters will be reflected when the changes occur.

Impairment of non-financial assets

Impairment occurs when the book value of a non-financial 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.

The allowance is set up based, substantially, 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 may be 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 tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available to enable use of the referred to tax losses.

Management is required to make significant judgment to determine the deferred income tax amount to be recognized, 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, 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 26.

     Standards, Interpretations and Amendments         Mandatory
Application for:        
   
   

IFRS 9: Financial Instruments

 

This is the final version of the standard issued in July 2014 and which completes the IASB project to replace IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.” This project was divided into 3 phases:

 

Phase 1 – Classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. This introduces a logical focus for the classification of financial assets driven by cash flow characteristics and the business model. This new model also results in a single impairment model being applied to all financial instruments.

 

Phase 2 – Impairment methodology. The objective is a more timely recognition of expected credit losses. The standard requires entities to account for expected credit losses from the time when financial instruments are first recognized in the financial statements.

 

Phase 3 – Hedge accounting. This establishes a new model aimed at reflecting better alignment between hedge accounting and risk management activity. Also included are enhancements to required disclosures.

 

This final version of IFRS 9 replaces the previous versions of the Standard.

 

      Annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.
   
   

IFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers

 

This new standard applies to all contracts with customers except leases, financial instruments and insurance contracts. Its purpose is to make financial information more comparable, and provides a new model for revenue recognition and more detailed requirements for contracts with multiple obligations. It also requires more itemized information. This standard will replace IAS 11 and IAS 18 as well as their interpretations (IFRIC 13, IFRIC 15, IFRIC 18 and SIC 31).

 

      Annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

      Annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016.
   

Amendment to IAS 16 and IAS 38: Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortization

 

The amendment to IAS 16 explicitly forbids the use of revenue-based depreciation for property, plant and equipment.

Amendment to IAS 27: Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements

 

This improvement allows entities to use the equity method to account for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in their separate financial statements. The objective of the improvement is to minimize the costs associated with complying with the IFRS, particularly for those entities applying IFRS for the first time, without reducing the information available to investors.

 

      Annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016.
   

Amendment to IAS 1: Disclosure Initiative

 

The IASB has issued amendments to IAS 1 as part of its principal initiative to improve the presentation and disclosure of information in financial statements. These amendments are designed to companies applying professional judgment to determine what type of information to disclose in their financial statements.

 

      Annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016.
   

Amendment to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28: Investment Entities: Application of the Consolidation Exception

 

The modifications, which have a restricted scope, introduce clarifications to the requirements for the accounting of investment entities. The modifications also provide relief in some circumstances, which will reduce the costs of applying the Standards.

 

      Annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016.
   

IFRS 16: Leases

 

This new standard provides a definition of a lease contract and specifies the accounting treatment for the assets and liabilities originated under those contracts from both lessor and lessee perspective. Lessor accounting remains largely unchanged from its predecessor IAS 17, Leases. However, for lessee accounting, the new standard requires recognition of a right of use asset and a corresponding liability, similar to finance lease accounting under IAS 17, for most lease contracts.

 

      Annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.

The Group is assessing the impact of applying IFRS 9, IFRS 15 and IFRS 16 from their effective date. In Management’s opinion, the application of the other standards and amendments pending application is not expected to have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements of Enel Brasil and its subsidiaries.

Tariff revision and adjustment

Ampla Energia

In accordance with the concession agreement, the subsidiary Ampla Energia tariffs were adjusted on March 15, 2015. The average tariff adjustment stood at 42.19%, according to Approval Resolution Nº 1861, of March 10, 2015, revised on April 7, 2015, due to the extension of the deadline to repay the ACR account financing. In connection with this new approval and Resolution Nº 1869/2015, the new tariffs will have a 37.34% average effect on captive consumers. The increase in the revenues resulting from the tariff increase is expected to be substantially offset by a similar increase in the corresponding cost of energy purchases as well as regulatory charges.

COELCE

On February 27, 2015, through Resolution Nº1.858, the extraordinary tariff review for COELCE was approved. Such review intended to include in the tariff to be charged to the customers the effect of the mismatching noted on the actual costs incurred and the tariff coverage previously considered on the Energy Development Account charges (CDE) and on the energy purchase costs. The average increase approved for COELCE totaled 10.28%. The increase in the revenues resulting from the tariff increase is expected to be substantially offset by a similar increase in the corresponding cost of energy purchases as well as regulatory charges.

On April 22, 2015, subsidiary COELCE had approved, on interim basis, the 4th tariff revision cycle, as provided in the concession agreement. ANEEL set tariffs, through Resolution No 1,882/2015. This definition leads to an average tariff effect for consumers of the distributor of 11.69%. The increase in the revenues resulting from the tariff increase is expected to be substantially offset by a similar increase in the corresponding cost of energy purchases as well as regulatory charges.

Amendments to Brazilian legislation and regulatory matters

 

  a)

Account Regulated Environment - ACR

Due to the high increase in the cost of energy, Aneel decided to pay to the distribution companies an advance of the Portion A that would be recovered in the next tariff review. Therefore the subsidiaries Ampla Energia and COELCE received the amount of R$243,764 and R$132,560 respectively, as per the Decision No 773 of 03/27/2015, which reduced the account “Amounts receivable from Portion A” recorded in current assets of the Companies.

 

  b)

Centralizing Account of Tariff Flags Resources

In January 2015 began the additional charge applied tariff to all captive consumers in terms of power generation conditions, seeking to reduce possible mismatches between the actual costs of energy purchased by the distributors and their tariff coverage.

Decree No 8401 of 04.02.2015 determined that the resources obtained in excess through the application of tariff flags by the distribution agents should be destined to the Centralizing Account of Tariff Flags Resources (“CCRBT”) administered by the Electric Energy Trading Chamber (“CCEE”). The resources available in this Chamber will be passed on to distribution agents considering the difference between the amounts realized by each distributor and the current tariff coverage of each agent.

 

  b)

PIS and COFINS on financial income

From 01/07/2015, pursuant to Decree No. 8426 of 01/04/2015, the rates of Social Integration Program/Public Servant Fund (“PIS/PASEP”) and Contribution on Gross Revenues for Social Security Funding (“COFINS”) on financial income, including arising from transactions for hedging purposes, earned by companies subject to the non-cumulative calculation system of such contributions will be 0.65% and 4%, respectively.

 

  c)

Change the refresh rate of the asset base of the assets of the concessionaires

Standard-setting Resolution No 686 of 11/23/2015 provides that the remuneration basis of the assets of dealers linked to the concession of the public electric power distribution, should be updated by the variation of the National Index of Consumer Price (“IPCA”) between the base date of the appraisal report and the date of the annual tariff review.

 

  d)

Tariff review PRORET - 4th Cycle of Periodic Tariff (“RTP”)

From Standard-setting Resolution No 660 of 04/28/2015, among other changes, the revenues billed to Demand Overdrive - UD and Reactive surplus - ER, from May 2015 now recorded as sector liabilities, noncurrent liabilities. From the 5th CRTP, these funds will be returned to the consumer through the tariff.

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.

The amounts classified under PIS and COFINS recoverable for subsidiary Ampla Energia in the total amount of R$39,181 at December 31, 2015 (R$31,845 in 2014) refer to PIS and COFINS computed on the previous sixth-month billings, supported by a court decision in rem judicatam, whereby Decree-Laws no, 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 recognized.

Additionally, PIS and COFINS amounts recoverable refer also to subsidiary CIEN, totaling R$33,521 at December 31, 2015 (R$29,631 in 2014), 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$7,049, R$3,633, R$7,159 and R$745 at December 31, 2015.

Accounts receivable from Portion A and other financial items

As a consequence of Public Hearing No. 061/2014, on December 10, 2014, the addenda to the concession contracts for Ampla and Coelce distributors were approved, whereby in the event that the concession ceases to exist, in addition to compensation amounts stemming from investments not amortized or depreciated in the course of the concession, the remaining balances of Tranche-A items of the tariff and other financial components that have not been recovered or returned through the tariff cycle(s) will also be subject to compensation or return by the Granting Power.

Thus, the amendments to concession and permission contracts represented a new element that eliminates - as from the execution of these contracts by distributors - uncertainties, if any, as to the likelihood of realization of the asset or enforcement of the liability represented by these items originated from tariff discussions between the distributors and the regulator, and which until then were deemed to be regulatory assets and liabilities of which were not guaranteed of recovery or settlement.

Accounts receivable from Portion A and other financial items (Continued)

 

Thus, since the amendments and addenda to the concession and permission contracts have come into effect, such assets and liabilities have been recorded in the financial statements of the electric power distributors and classified as financial in nature.

Since this is a new event, the subsidiaries recognized the balances of CVA and other financial components prospectively, from execution of the respective contractual amendments. The amounts receivable were recorded in asset accounts, matched against P&L for this year, under revenue from sales of goods and services.

The Interministerial Administrative Ruling of State Ministry of Finance and Mines and Energy no 25, of January 24, 2002, established the Memorandum Account for Changes in Item Values of “Portion A” - CVA, in order to record changes in costs, either negative or positive, for the period between annual tariff adjustments, related to items provided for in electric energy distribution concession arrangements.

These changes are calculated by means of the difference between expenses effectively incurred and expenses estimated in establishing the electricity charge in annual tariff adjustments. The amounts considered in CVA are monetarily restated based on the SELIC rate variation.

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.

The accumulated balance will be amortized as follows:

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 Rule No 349/01 (CVM is Securities and Exchange Commission of Brazil), determined that only the portion corresponding to the tax credit resulting from goodwill amortization 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 Rule no 319/99, as amended by CVM Rule no 349/01.

Accordingly, the share split and redemption operations of subsidiary COELCE to remunerate shareholders for decrease in profit caused by goodwill amortization from merger of Distriluz, suspended in 2003, were replaced by provisions of CVM Rule no, 319/99, amended by CVM Rule no 349/01, which provides for set up of provision on goodwill to be amortized matching against goodwill reserve (capital reserve), in amount which is not a tax benefit for subsidiary COELCE. To recalculate the impact on income of each year, the provision will be reversed to the same extent of amortization of the portion of goodwill for the respective year.

Financial instruments and operational risks

General considerations

The Enel Group has policies to mitigate financial risks and adopts 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 Enel 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:

Risk factors (Continued)

 

  b)

Interest rate risk

This risk arises from the possibility of the Enel 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 Group 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).

In order to avoid risks with changes in market indexes, the loans indexed to floating rate had their rates fixed through swap contracts, to hedge against the risk of rate fluctuation. The adjustment to the debit and credit of this operation is recorded in the income statement.

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 2015 were equal to those expected for 2016, according to projections based on the forward curve of the BM&F:

Risk factors (Continued)

 

 

  c)

Credit risk

The risk arises from the possibility of Enel subsidiaries to incur losses due to the difficulty in collecting amounts billed to their 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 Enel 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, for the debt ratios that are not at levels below the limits established by the financial covenants, the Enel Group has obtained a waiver from the respective counterparty banks, as disclosed in Note 18.

 

  e)

Risk of revision and supply tariff adjustment

Tariff adjustment and revision processes are secured by agreement and rely on previously set methodologies. Changes to the methodology in force should be extensively discussed and supported by contributions by Group companies, concessionaires and other agents in the industry.

In case an unforeseeable event affects the economic and financial balance of the concession, Ampla Energia and COELCE may justify and require the Regulator to open an Extraordinary Tariff Revision, and it shall be at the Regulator’s discretion to determine whether or not such revision should be made. ANEEL itself also may carry out Extraordinary Revisions in case of introduction, change or exclusion of charges and/or taxes to be passed on to tariffs.

 

  f)

Capital risk management

The Enel 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 Enel 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 5 and 6), as well as by equity of the Group.

  g)

Liquidity risk

The Enel 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.

In order to avoid any emergency cash need, the Group uses overdraft facilities that it has taken out as a short-term cash source. We set out below the table on the final position at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 regarding the use of this facility:

Valuation of financial instruments

In order to determine the fair value of loans and financing, the Enel Group’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:

 

   

Level 1 - Data from an active market (unadjusted quoted price) allowing daily access including on the date of fair value measurement.

 

   

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.

 

   

Level 3 - Data from a pricing model based on unobservable market data.

Regulatory Risk

Ampla Energia

Punitive regulatory proceedings are regulated by ANEEL Administrative Ruling No, 063/2004. The penalties provided for in the regulation range from warning to revocation of the concession or permission.

Initially, the subsidiary is served a notice by the regulator about any nonconformity identified. The subsidiary will have 15 days to respond to such notice. Subsequently, if any irregularities are confirmed, a violation notice is issued with penalties to nonconformities. The subsidiary will have 10 days to file an appeal.

These penalties are applicable to all agents of the electric energy industry and calculated based on billing.

 

  (v)

Environmental Contingencies

CDSA

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 CDSA, 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 CDSA, which was reversed by the Appellate Court, determining conduction of an expert inspection to determine any possible damages. CDSA 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.

Notices of delinquency – Brazilian IR

In 2014, the Brazilian IRS served a notice of delinquency requiring the collection of income tax on dividends supposedly distributed in excess in 2009 and 2010. The Company filed a protest letter and waits for the decision to be handed down at the Brazilian IRS appellate division level. The relevant amount, updated at December 31, 2015, is R$233,300 (R$212,334 in 2014).

Notices of delinquency - PIS/Cofins

In 2006, the Brazilian IRS filed two tax assessments for the collection of PIS and Cofins on interest on equity and other financial income, earned from 2001 to 2005. In the first administrative level, infraction notices were judged partially founded, rejected in relation to financial income.

In the face of facts and administrative law, the company in August 2014 paid the portion considered as probable loss (amounts related to PIS and Cofins on interest on equity) equal to the amount required under the REFIS in accordance with Law No. 12,996 / 14.

The remaining portion of the notices of delinquency whose likelihood of loss was rated as possible, amounts to R$21,756 for Cofins (R$19,425 in 2014) and R$3,080 for PIS (R$2,750 in 2014) on financial income earned during the effectiveness of Law nº 9,718/98 and after the effectiveness of Decree nº 5,164/2004.

COELCE

Following are significant claims to which legal advisors estimate the likelihood of loss as possible and which do not require any provision to be established.

 

   

At the state level, the subsidiary has been holding discussions on various ICMS matters, amounting to R$333,750 at December 31, 2015 (R$307,636 in 2014), as follows: special regime from Agreement No, 035/91; master records of tax exempt, immune and non-taxable consumers; credit on capital expenditures; transfer of credits; cancellation of invoices; reversal of credit – low income consumer; tax on certain operations; energy acquired for own consumption and difference between values recorded and values reported in the tax statements.

 

   

At City level, the subsidiary is party to legal and administrative proceedings in the City of Fortaleza, referring to the Service tax (ISS), totaling R$35,685 at December 31, 2015 (R$50,792 in 2014). These refer to: ancillary services; personal property leases; amounts withheld at source, and services rendered in other cities, In the City of Iguatu, tax enforcement amounting to R$3,370 at December 31, 2015 (R$3,083 in 2014).

Ampla Energia

Tax withheld at source – Issue of Fixed Rate Notes (FRN)

In 2005 the Brazilian IRS issued a tax notice, as it understood that the subsidiary was no longer subject to the zero rate tax benefit of the Withholding income tax (IRRF) levied on interest and other income transferred to parties abroad, due to Fixed Rate Notes (FRN) issued by the subsidiary in 1998. A decision awarded to an appeal was favorable to the subsidiary. The subsidiary was served notice about the decisions handed down by the Administrative Board of Tax Appeals (CARF), whereby the Tax Notice was deemed founded. As a result, the subsidiary filed for a provisional remedy for guarantee anticipation in order to obtain a certificate attesting to the regular payment of existing tax debts. This is still under discussion by means of a legal proceeding. The amount involved in this proceeding, restated at December 31, 2015, is R$1,127,837 (R$1,068,018 in 2014).

COFINS

Delinquent tax collection procedures in connection with a notice of delinquency served by the Brazilian IRS in 2003 to collect COFINS debts from a supposed default from December 2001 to March 2002. The value involved in the claim, restated at December 31, 2015, reaches R$149,174 (R$142,141 in 2014).

In 2012 the subsidiary was noticed of the decision made by the Full Bench Board, which upheld the notice of delinquency and filed an appeal to the State Finance Officer. Notwithstanding the appeal filed, delinquent tax collection procedures were initiated, and the subsidiary has been discussing the matter through legal claims.

Currently, BD and CD plans of subsidiary COELCE have a total actuarial surplus of R$123,077 at December 31, 2015 (R$147,258 in 2014). Actuarial surplus is not accounted for since, in accordance with the rules of the Brazil’s National Supplementary Pension Board (CNPC) – CGPC Resolution No, 26/2008, as amended by CNPC Resolution no 09/2012, any economic benefits for the sponsor may only be required if the contingency reserve is recognized at its maximum percentage, which is 25% of mathematical reserves, in order to ensure financial balance of the plan due to volatility of these obligations. Surplus may only be used by the sponsor as from such limit to cover future contributions or to be reimbursed thereto. For subsidiary COELCE, this was below 5% at December 31, 2015. For health care plans and FGTS for 2014, liabilities totaled R$87,436 (R$91,082 in 2014).
