HIGHLIGHTS
Corporate Regulatory Assets and Liabilities
On April 26, 2017, the Secretariat of Electric Energy (“SEE”) issued Note No. 2016-01193748 under the instruction of the Ministry of Energy and Mining (“MEyM”) requiring the Company to provide all relevant information aiming to determine whether there are still pending obligations regarding the Adjustment Agreement and until the entry into force of the tariff schemes resulting from the Integral Tariff Review (“RTI”) and, if applicable, the treatment to be afforded to such obligations.

Law on electricity dependent patients
On May 17, 2017, Law No. 27,351 was passed, which guarantees the permanent and free-of-charge supply of electricity to those individuals who qualify as dependent on power for reasons of health and who require medical equipment to avoid risks in their lives or health. The law provides that the account holder of the service or someone who lives with him/her (a cohabitant) and is registered as “Electricity dependent for reasons of health” will be exempt from the payment of any and all connection fees and will benefit from a special free of charge tariff treatment in the electric power supply service under national jurisdiction, which consists of the recognition of the entire amount of the power bill.
On July 26, 2017, the ENRE issued Resolution No. 292 providing that those discounts are to be made as from the effective date of the aforementioned law, and instructing CAMMESA to implement those discounts in its billing to distribution companies. The amounts paid by customers for the bills that fall within the scope of this Resolution will be made available within the stipulated time limits.
ENRE Resolution No. 329/2017
On July 27, 2017 the ENRE issued Resolution No. 329, which sets forth the procedure applicable to the billing of deferred revenues. Such amounts will be adjusted as of February 2018 by applying the “Methodology for the Redetermination of the Company’s Recognized Own Distribution Costs” set forth in caption c2) of Sub-Appendix II to ENRE Resolution No. 63/17.
As of June 30, 2017, the amount arising from deferred revenues and not recognized by the Company in its financial statements amounts approximately to ARS 2,315.5 million.
Framework Agreement
On August 3, 2017, the Company and the National and Provincial Governments executed an extension to the Framework Agreement until September 30, 2017. The execution of this extension represents the recognition of revenues in favor of the Company related to the distribution of electricity to low-income neighborhoods and shantytowns for the January 1, 2015 - June 30, 2017 period in the amount of ARS 203 million.

Revenues from services increased by 111.7%, to ARS 5,751.6 million, in the second term of 2017, against ARS 2,717.0 million for the same period in 2016, mainly due to the application of the first stage of the tariff increase effective as from February 1, 2017 following the implementation of the Integral Tariff Review (“RTI”) under ENRE Resolution No. 63/2017. The financial impact resulting from the gradualness in the recognition of VAD adjustments has not been yet disclosed by the Company in its financial statements, which amounts to approximately ARS 2,315.5 million for the February 1, 2017 - June 30, 2017 period and which will be incorporated into the Company’s Own Distribution Costs as from February 2018.
Additionally, ARS 203.0 million was acknowledged for the execution of the extension to the Framework Agreement for the distribution of electricity to low-income neighborhoods and shantytowns for the January 1, 2015 - June 30, 2017 period.
This increase in revenues has been partially offset by a 6.8% decrease in thevolume of energy sales, which reached 5,330 GWh in the second term of 2017, against 5,719 GWh for the same period in 2016, mainly attributable to a 12.0% decrease in the demand by residential users, as well as a 6.7% decrease in the demand by small and medium commercial users. As regards the residential demand, the lower consumption is mainly due to weather conditions, as during the months of May and June temperatures were on average 3º C higher than in 2016, with a lower occurrence of extremely low temperatures. Furthermore, the decrease in consumption by commercial customers is mainly attributable to a slight fall in the economic activity in certain sectors and a more rational use of energy. Besides, Edenor’s customer base increased by 1.8%.

Energy purchases increased by 125.6%, to ARS 3,277.0 million, in the second term of 2017, against ARS 1,452.4 million for the same period in 2016, mainly due to an approximate 176% increase in the purchase average price resulting from the entry into force of the new seasonal prices for electricity set forth by SEE Resolution 20-E/2017. The reference seasonal price for residential users still has an approximate 50% subsidy taking into consideration the system’s average generation cost. Additionally, even though the energy loss rate decreased by 17.2% in 2T17, against 18.2% in 2T16, its associated costs increased by 100% following the application of the new seasonal price for its determination.
Operating expenses decreased by 21.1%, to ARS -2,045.4 million, in 2T17 against ARS -2,591.3 million in 2T16, mainly due to a ARS 809.8 million decrease in penalties resulting from changes introduced by ENRE Note No. 125.248 both in the calculation methodology and in the criteria for the adjustment of penalties. This effect was partially offset by a ARS 75.7 million increase in salaries, social security taxes and pension plans as a result of the 6% salary increase granted in March 2017; a ARS 40.1 million increase in the allowance for the impairment of trade and other receivables as a result of the tariff increase pursuant to Resolution No. 63/2017, and a ARS 46.5 million increase in fees and remuneration for services, mainly attributable to the incorporation of the meter reading personnel into the Luz y Fuerza union agreement.

Net operating income increased by ARS 1,750.7 million, recording profits for ARS 298.8 million in the second term of 2017, against losses for ARS 1,451.9 million for the same period in 2016. This positive result was mainly a result of the 42% tariff increase granted by the RTI in February 2017, which was partially offset by the increase in the average purchase price and its impact on losses, and a decrease in operating costs resulting from lower penalties following the implementation of the new tariff scheme and the changes in the valuation criteria introduced by the ENRE during this term.
4
Financial results experienced a 88.1% decrease, with a ARS 427.4 million loss in the second term of 2017, against ARS 227.2 million losses for the same period in 2016, mainly due to a higher negative impact of foreign exchange rate variations, which amounted to ARS 181.2 million, as a result of an acceleration in the domestic currency depreciation rate against the U.S. Dollar, the currency in which the Company’s financial debt is denominated, also resulting into a higher financial interest charge. This loss was partially offset by a ARS 35.1 million increase in the results of financial placements of temporarily available surplus funds.
Net results show an ARS 1,007.8 million increase, reaching an ARS 52.6 million loss in the second term of 2017, against an ARS 1,060.4 million loss for the same period in 2016. This is mainly accounted for by the above-explained improvement in operating results, which was partially offset by higher financial losses.
Adjusted EBITDA
The adjusted EBITDA has increased to ARS 424.4 million profits in the second term of 2017, against losses for ARS 814.6 million for the same period in 2016. In 2T16, the EBITDA includes an adjustment for non-recurring items associated with adjustments by the regulatory agency and a reclassification of financial interest on the balance of sanctioned penalties for a total amount of ARS 505.2 million.

Capital Expenditures
Edenor’ s capital expenditures during the second quarter of 2017 totaled ARS 962 million, compared to ARS 711.3 million in the second quarter of 2016. Our investments mainly consisted of the following:
· ARS 112.0 million in new connections;
· ARS 672.0 million in grid enhancements;
· ARS 96.4 million in network maintenance and improvements;
· ARS 9.4 million in legal requirements;
· ARS 22.3 million in communications and telecontrol;
· ARS 49.9 million of other investment projects.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, our Capital Expenditures totalized to ARS 1,721.1 million compared to ARS 1,340.0 million in 2016, including capitalized costs in property, plant and equipment.
The increase in investments results from the ambitious plan devised by Edenor for the 2017-2021 period, which was seriously and adversely affected in the first year of its implementation by the partial deferral of revenues increase granted by the RTI in 48 installments as from February 2018. Consequently, the Company has outlined an investment plan in line with this new scenario, which it is currently executing in its entirety.
Energy Losses
In the second term of 2017, energy losses decreased by 17.2 %, against 18.2% for the same period in 2016, as a result of the above-mentioned drop in the demand for energy. Furthermore, during this term the Market Discipline Plan for the following five years was launched aiming to detect and normalize irregular connections and electricity theft and frauds, which is expected to be intensified in the following months until reaching the level of actions necessary to meet with the defined loss reduction goals.
Indebtedness
As of June 30, 2017, the outstanding principal amount of our dollar denominated financial debt is USD 176.4 million of Senior Notes due 2022, of which USD 300,000 are held by the Company.
