In 2005, EDP Groups EBITDA went up 78%, reflecting the full integration of HC Energia, which benefited from the high pool prices, a strong contribution of Energias do Brasil and a €397m capital gain on the sale of a 14.3% stake in GalpEnergia.
The full integration of HC Energia allowed EDP to balance its short generation position in Portugal with HC Energias long generation position in Spain
The context of high pool prices benefited EDP Groups liberalised generation and supply activities in Iberia, given that HC Energias long generation position in the Spanish market enabled EDP Group to more than compensate its short generation position in the Portuguese liberalised market.
The increase in Spanish pool prices was reflected in EDPs results, given that the tariff deficit that resulted from higher generation costs was approved by Decree Law to be recovered through the tariffs in the future.
Domestic distribution activity was affected by the 2005 tariff revision and the hike in fuel costs
Despite the 6% strong increase in electricity demand, allowed revenues were affected by a 4% decrease in the use of distribution grid tariffs and by a 50bps reduction in regulated rate of return of the supply activities.
Electricity gross profit was penalised by an increase in electricity purchase costs, namely high fuel costs, which will be passed through to tariffs in the subsequent years.
Brazilian activities delivered a sound contribution to EDP Group operating performance
Strong operating performance following tariff adjustments and a 3% consumption growth.
EDP benefited from the improvement of the Brazilian macroeconomic environment which resulted in the 20% appreciation of the Real and a reduction of the country risk.
Progress on efficiency: completion of the Human Resources Restructuring Programme
In 2005 EDP Group completed the implementation of the HR Restructuring started in 2003. As a result of this programme, EDP was able to reduce 1,731 employees in the core business.
A robust Net Profit reflects the strong operating performance but also the disposal of non-core assets
Capital gains on the disposal of non-core assets: 14.3% of GalpEnergia (€397m), Comunitel (€31m), 60% of Edinfor (€15m), 3% of REE (€9m) and transfer of 2.01% of BCP to EDPs pension fund (€12m).
Lower effective tax rate explained by the capital gain on GalpEnergia, which is tax free, and by tax savings achieved with the corporate restructuring of our Brazilian activities.
Development of the strategic plan in Iberia through acquisitions and organic growth
Acquisitions: i) 1,728 MW of wind farms, of which 272 MW in operation and 1,456 MW in the pipeline; ii) strengthening of EDPs position in the Portuguese gas business through a 60% stake in Portgás, the second DisCo. in Portugal; iii) increase of EDPs stake in Turbogás CCGT (990 MW) from 20% to 40%.
Organic growth: i) conclusion of the construction of the 1,200 MW Ribatejo CCGT and 192 MW Venda Nova II hydro plant; and ii) beginning of the construction works at Castejón 2 CCGT (400 MW) and start of the project of Baixo Sabor hydro plant (170 MW).

Regardless of the positive evolution of the binding generation gross profit following an increase in the PPA capacity charge and the efficient fuel procurement, EDP Produçãos EBITDA fell 4.0%. The output of EDPPs power plants operating in the non-binding system amounted to 5,252 GWh while EDP Comercial, the Groups arm that targets electricity clients in the liberalized segment, sold 6,314 GWh. The Groups short position in the Portuguese liberalized market is covered by electricity acquisitions made by EDPP in the Spanish pool. The performance of the liberalised activities during the period reflects the combined impact of the high pool prices experienced in 2005 (with an impact of -€54m in 2005 vs. 2004) and the nature of some of the contracts entered into by EDPC with its clients that do not allow for the full adjustment of final prices to sudden hikes in the electricity cost. EDPC is undergoing a process of renegotiation of contracts with its clients in light of the current and expected evolution of electricity pool prices. This effect is also being mitigated with the start of operations of the third 392 MW unit of the Ribatejo CCGT that operates in the non-binding system.
In contrast HC Energia is long in generation and the Groups Iberian Hedge becomes evident. HC Energia generated 15,198 GWh and provided 5,926 GWh of electricity to its clients in the liberalised segment. Given this long position on generation, the companys EBITDA was propelled by the hike of pool prices (with an impact of +€215m in 2005 vs. 2004). EDP also benefited from the full consolidating HC Energias P&L for the first time in 2005.
Despite the strong increase in demand, EDP Distribuiçãos gross profit was penalised by the fuel prices increase that affected the energy acquisition activity. Operating costs decreased 26.3%, due to the accounting in 2004 of cost with 2003/04 HR Programme from which EDPD started to bear fruits. All in all, EDP Distribuiçãos EBITDA improved almost 50%.
Energias do Brasil continued to provide strong growth. All Brazilian activities presented strong EBITDA increases in 2005, following higher electricity sales in the distribution and supply activities, higher tariffs following the positive impacts of the annual tariff adjustments and lower non-controllable costs than those established by regulation. In addition, the Group benefited from a 20% appreciation of the Real vs the Euro in 2005 (+€69m) and from the reversion of the provision made in 2003 to cover the potential asset devaluation of Lajeado project (+€30m).
Onis EBITDA reflects an improvement of the gross profit and a strict control of personnel costs and supplies & services - other than those related to clients acquisition and retention costs. In 2004, Onis financials were negatively impacted by the reversal of a 40m tax credit booked in 2002 from the sale of Oni Way to Vodafone. In September 2005, Oni sold Comunitel, and in accordance EDP only consolidate it 9 months in 2005.
Other and adjustments include a €397m capital gain on the sale of the 14.27% stake on Galp for €720.5m, €-23m related to the adjustment of the capital gain from the sale of REE (reflecting the difference between EDP accounts sale price against market value and HC Energia accounts sale price against book value) and a €12.4m capital gain on the transfer of a 2.01% stake in BCP to EDPs pension fund.

The EDP Groups capital expenditures amounted to €1,429.2m in 2005, an increase of 38.9% year-on-year, mainly due to i) investments in the Portuguese distribution grid to improve the quality of service; ii) the construction of the Peixe Angical power plant in Brazil; iii) investments related to the mandatory universal connection programme of all low voltage consumers in Brazil, and iv) the full consolidation of HC Energias operating investment in 2005.
At EDPP, the operating investment remained stable following the end of the construction of both the second (2004) and third (2005) units of the Ribatejo CCGT. In 2005, EDPP also acquired from REN the thermal power plants sites (Setúbal, Carregado and Tunes) for €40.6m. In addition, EDPP concluded the construction of Venda Nova II hydro power plant in August 2005 (€6.0m), continued works to reduce SO2 and NOx emissions at Sines power plant (€17.2m), and started the project for the 170 MW of Baixo Sabor hydro power plant (€4.7m). EDPP expects to invest €220m in environmental works between 2005 and 2008, and €360m in the construction of Baixo Sabor, which should start operations in 2011.
In 2005, 90% of EDPDs capex was allocated to the distribution network in order to improve the quality of service. Investment in the distribution grid rose 5.6% year-on-year, which along with favourable weather conditions enabled an 14.4% improvement of Equivalent Interruption Time (from 215 min. in 2004 to 184 min. in 2005).
Almost 50% of HC Energias capex was allocated to special regime projects, more specifically to wind farms. In 2005 the wind farms Las Lomillas (50 MW 50% held by Genesa) and La Sotonera (19 MW) entered into service. The wind farms Boquerón (22 MW) and Belchite (50 MW) started operations in the beginning of 2006 while the Brujula wind farm (73 MW) should start operations in May. In 2005, HC Energia started the construction of the second 400 MW unit at Castejón CCGT (25m), which is forecasted to start operations by the end of 2007. Total investment in this project should amount to 200m. Additionally in 2005, HC Energia continued the environmental investments ( 14.6m in 2005) to reduce the SO2 and NOx emissions at Aboño and Soto, in order to comply with EU directives until the end of 2007. Total estimated investment in relation to this project for the 2005-2007 period amounts to approximately 140m.
Investment in Peixe Angical hydro power plant (452 MW) totalled to R$638.6m (€232.7m) in 2005 and represented 55% of Brazil capex in the period. EDP expects to invest a further R$170m in 2006, when this power plant should start operations. Note that this figure corresponds to 100% of the project, of which Energias do Brasil owns 60%. The project is also being financed through a R$670m loan from BNDES. Capex in Brazil also includes a total of R$119.4m (€43.5m) related to the mandatory universal connection programme Universalização to all low voltage consumers, in the concession areas of Bandeirante, Escelsa and Enersul.

The EDP Groups total net debt increased by €928.4m, vis-à-vis 2004, to €9,463.2m, following: i) a stable operating cash flow vs. a higher capex level - operating cash flow was affected by the €200.2m hydro correction payment to REN following a very dry period; ii) the financing by HC of €224.3m regarding the Spanish tariff deficit; iii) financial investments of €775.7m: a) acquisition of wind farms, namely Desa in Spain (€478m share capital +€83m shareholders loans) with 224 MW in operation and 1,186 in the pipeline, Ider in Spain (€15m) with 114 MW under development, Ortiga and Safra in Portugal (€21m) with 53 MW in the pipeline, Tecneira in Portugal (€36m related to the first payment) with 48 MW in operation and 73 MW in the pipeline, and Weom in France (€4m) with 30 MW under development; b) purchase of 46.625% of Portgás (€85m) (EDP already signed an agreement to increase its stake in the company from 60% to 72%); and c) acquisition of a 20% stake in Turbogás (€52m) (increasing EDPs stake to 40%); iv) the consolidation of the net debt of Desa (€159m) and Portgás (€69m); v) the payment of the 2004 annual dividend of €336.0m; vi) the forex effect on the net debt of our Brazilian subsidiary following the strong valuation of the Real (an increase of approximately €227m in net debt);
Offset by: i) the proceeds from the IPO of Energias do Brasil (R$500m or €182m); ii) the sale of non-core assets (€540m), namely 14.27% of GalpEnergia (EDP received in December 20% of 720m), 3% of REE (€76m), 60% of Edinfor (€81m), 99.93% of Comunitel (€204m) and an office building to REN (€21m); and iii) a private placement of a 2.2% stake of Energias do Brasil (EDP received €6m in 2005 out of a total of €23m).

Financial results were influenced by:
Higher contribution from Income from group and associated cos., up 31.5m on the back of the following positive impacts: i) the increase in EDPs stake in Turbogás from 20% to 40% (+€7.3m); ii) RENs equity contribution in 2005 (+€17.9m) includes dividends it received from GalpEnergia (18.3% owned by REN) and; iii) EEGSA (+€2.2m), Hidrocantábricos equity affiliates (+€1.6m) and Edinfor (+€1.3m), that started to be equity consolidated as from January 2005 after the sale of 60% of the company to LogicaCMG.
Additional Investment Income of 5.6m due to i) the distribution of dividends received from GalpEnergia (previously to the sale in December 2005 of the 14.27% then owned by EDP), which amounted to €23.7m in 2005, whereas in 2004 the company only distributed 13.3m in dividends; ii) lower dividends received from MillenniumBCP ( €7.5m 2005 vs. €12.8m 2004), following the transfer of a 2.01% stake to EDPs Pension Fund in June 2005. Currently EDP owns 2.35% of MillenniumBCPs share capital.
Net financial interest paid went up 16.2% reflecting i) the full consolidation of Hidrocantábrico debt in 2005 (previously 40% consolidated) (+€66.7m), ii) mitigated by the decrease in the average cost of consolidated debt from 4.34% to 4.18% (-€13.7m).
Net foreign exchange differences in 2005 were driven by the effect of the 13% appreciation of the Brazilian Real against the US Dollar on the dollar denominated debt in Brazil versus a 9% appreciation in 2004.
The Other financial gains and losses in 2005 include: i) a €118.0m financial provision relating to the fair value of a derivative contracted by EDP to hedge the effect of interest rate changes on the NPV calculation of the value of the CMEC. This provision will be reverted at the time of the start of MIBEL when the CMECs come into effectiveness; ii) the fair value of forex hedge instruments in Brazil (-€56.6m).

Load Factor (5)
Electricity demanded by the distribution grid in Portugal continued to grow strongly, up 5.5% from 2004 to 47.3 TWh.
EDP Groups electricity generation output remained stable at 25.2 TWh and accounted for 52% of the total energy supplied to the system (55% in 2004). During the period EDP benefited from the start of operations of the second and third 392 MW groups of the Ribatejo CCGT (in the 4Q2004 and 4Q2005) and from a higher utilization of its fuel oil thermal plants due to the dry year (load factor: 30% in 2005 vs. 13% in 2004). On the other hand, owing also to the driest period of the last 15 years (hydro coefficient of 0.41 vs. 0.81 in 2004), EDP Produção experienced a lower utilisation of its hydroelectric power stations which represent 49% of EDPs installed capacity in Portugal. The contribution of the hydro plants to the EDP Group total generation in Portugal fell from 36% in 2004 to 18% in 2005.
During 2005 EDP did not fully benefit from the Ribatejo CCGT new capacity as stoppages at Units I and II occurred from August 2005 due to repair works. Unit I became operational in September and Unit II restarted in late November. The repair works on both units were covered by the manufacturers guarantee.
EDPs gross profit is only marginally affected by generation output swings or fuel costs hikes (see in next page) since 80% of its installed capacity in Portugal is bounded to long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) in the Public Electricity System (PES).

*Km = 12 months average verified available capacity / 12 months average contracted available capacity.
Gross Profit in the Public Electricity System (PES) increased 2.9% in virtue of the stable return profile of the PPA Capacity Charge and the pass-through of fuel costs by means of the PPA Energy Charge. According to the PPAs, CO2 emissions and licences for the PES power stations are managed by REN, thus do not impact EDPPs Gross Profit. The slight increase in the PPA Capacity Charge in the period reflects inflation, mitigated by both i) the lower availability factors (km) at the hydro power stations (hydro km: 1.037 in 2005 vs. 1.044 in 2004) and ii) the decommissioning in December 2004 of the 47 MW Tapada do Outeiro plant (€4.9m contribution in 2004). The fuel procurement margin (Energy Charge minus Fuel Costs) increased from €17.8m in 2004 to €29.1m in 2005 mainly as a result of i) the higher spreads between EDPPs acquisition costs and the international fuel prices indices (used as benchmark to calculate the PPA Energy Charge) experienced in the 2H2005 and ii) the negative impact in 2004s fuel procurement margin from the revaluation of EDPPs coal stocks (€5.6m).
Gross Profit in the Non-Binding Electricity System (NBES) decreased to 15.2m following i) an approximately 63% reduction in the energy delivered to EDPD (parcela livre) and ii) the negative impact of high pool prices in 2005 on the electricity purchase service provided by EDPP to EDP Comercial (EDPC). EDPP guarantees EDPCs electricity purchase price, shielding EDPCs commercial activity from short-term pool price volatility. Despite the lower energy volumes produced by the hydro plants operating in the NBES, this year, the non-binding generation activity benefited from the extra output provided by the second (1.9 TWh) and third units (0,8 TWh) of the Ribatejo CCGT, the later started industrial operations ahead of schedule in October 2005. Regarding green house gas emissions, the repair works of the Ribatejo CCGTs group I and II resulted in a lower load factor during 2005 (68%) than that anticipated in the CO2 licensing process: CO2 emissions amounted to 1.8 million tons while attributed licenses, this year, were 2.0 million tons. As a consequence EDPP was able to account for a €4.4m positive effect at the gross profit level in 2005.
Gross Profit from Special Regime Producers (SRP) increased to €29.9m despite a €3.4m negative impact to the gross margin in 2005 due to a 51 GWh fall in output from the small hydro power stations (facilities with installed capacity of less than 10 MW) as a result of the dry period. The 12.1% increase in SRPs gross profit is justified by the fact that EDPs cogenerators switched their output from the industries they usually provide energy to, to the Portuguese Electricity System at a higher tariff. In addition the cogenerators also benefited from higher industrial clients tariffs, which are indexed to natural gas prices.

2005
EDPPs EBITDA fell 4.0% mostly due to the fall in Gross Profit in the non-binding activity of EDPP, as explained in the previous page. EDPP was able to cut operating costs in 6.0% as presented below.
Supplies and services increased €7.7m as a whole: i) the increase in S&S provided by group companies is the result of higher charges from EDP Valor (+€4.2m); ii) the increase in S&S provided by companies outside of the EDP Group are associated with higher maintenance costs (+€3.5m) following a higher utilisation of fuel-oil power stations and the start of operations of Ribatejos second 392MW unit.
Personnel costs decreased 9.9% (or 4.1% if we exclude severance payments and personnel costs capitalization) reflecting i) the reduction of 120 employees; and ii) fewer negotiated dismissals in 2005, which resulted in a €2.0m reduction in severance payments (€3.2m in 2004 with 12 negotiated dismissals). The reduction in the number of employees in 2005 includes the transfer of 79 employees to EDP Valor.
The 20.6% increase in Costs with social benefits in 2005 is mostly related with a €7.7m provision for pension benefits that include the cost with the curtailment of 22 employees that were early retired. The 2004 figure was influenced by premiums paid under the flexible retirement program (€3.6m) in respect to 91 employees that accepted to be enrolled in this program.
Operating investment remained stable at €202m, following the end of the construction of the second unit of the Ribatejo CCGT and the conclusion of the 192 MW Venda Nova II (Frades) hydro plant that was commissioned in August 2005. The third unit of the Ribatejo CCGT represented approximately 40% of the total capex in the period. The increase in operating investments in binding generation is related to the beginning, in the 2Q2005, of both i) the works to reduce SO2 and NOx emissions at Sines power plant (€17.2m) and ii) the start of the Baixo Sabor hydro power station project (€4.7m). The 2005 figure also includes the acquisition from REN of the thermal power plants sites (Setúbal, Carregado and Tunes) for €40.6m.

Total energy supplied in the NBES grew 42% YoY to 9,621 GWh in 2005, now representing 22% of the total consumption in Portugal (16% in 2004). EDPC retains two thirds of the market, similarly to 2004.
EDPC has a fixed price contract with EDPPs energy management department which procures electricity (namely from the Spanish pool) on behalf of EDPC. This price was reviewed up in the 4Q2005, with retroactive effects back to July 2005, in order to reflect the updated expectations regarding electricity wholesale prices.
The negative gross margin booked at EDPC stems from the sudden and sharp increases in electricity wholesale prices which EDPC has not been able to immediately pass-through to its clients something that is more evident on the older contract.

EBITDA 2005
By the end of 2005 EDP Groups renewable installed capacity in Portugal amounted to 160 MW. The repowering of Vila Nova I (+6 MW Apr05), Fonte da Quelha/Alto Talefe (+3 MW Sep05) and Pena Suar (+6 MW Dec05) wind farms allowed EDP to increase its wind installed capacity by 15 MW during the year.
EDP has been investing substantially in renewable energies. Acquisitions made within this activity amounted to €57m of which €21m relate to the acquisition of the Ortiga (11.7 MW Mar.06) and the Safra (41.8 MW Dec.06) wind farms, and 36m is linked to the first disbursement regarding the acquisition of five wind farms to Tecneira. This transaction, totalling €188.7m, was approved by the Portuguese Competition Authority towards the end of 2005 and comprises some 121 MW of wind capacity of which 48.3 MW are already operational and 34.4 MW will come in operation during 2006. EDP will start to consolidate these wind farms from January 2006. Regarding operational investment, the amount committed in 2005 totals €46m. Approximately 50% of this investment is connected to investments made in wind farms that started operations during the year. The balance relate to projects that are expected to entry into service throughout 2006: Madrinha wind farm (+10 MW Mar.06), Serra del-Rei (22MW Sep.06), Abogalheira (+3.3MW Sep.06), Pedras Lavradas (+14 MW Nov.06) and Serra da Alvoaça (+20MW Dec.06).
At year end, electricity emissions from renewable sources in Portugal (excluding hydro) amounted to 400GWh, 50% more than in 2004. This was due to the additional capacity that was brought on stream but also to an increase in the number of equivalent service hours of Enernovas wind farms to 2,460 hours from 2,350 hours in 2004 (the equivalent to an increase in the load factor to 28,1% from 26,4%).
Gross Profit increased almost 45% on the back of the new capacity and the increase in the load factor but EBITDA grew only 12.2% to €19.5m. This is mainly the result of the following non-recurring effects: a €0.9m increase in charges (S&S) from EDP S.A. following the new group policy of allocating to business units the costs of services rendered by the holding; and a €3.4m increase in S&S as a result of non-recurring costs incurred in 2005 by Enernova related to research made on new technologies, namely solar thermal, and to wind measuring tests that were made in an effort to evaluate the potential of some sites for new wind farms.
Beside these, the following recurrent effects have occurred:
an increase of €0.5m in O&M costs on wind farms with more than two years of operation (prior to these two years, the wind farm is within its warranty period); an increase of €0.2m in Generation Centre Rentals as a result of higher energy output, as it is a variable charge, the equivalent to 2.5% of the energy sold, that each wind farm has to pay both to municipalities and to landowners.
Load Factor: number of equivalent hours to the output of a wind farm relative to the total number of hours in the period, considering the date of entry into industrial service of each wind farm.

Demand for electricity increased 6.0% year-on-year, to 43.8 TWh. Demand was driven by a cold winter and a warm summer (0.7 p.p.) and by the co-generators consumption from the BES (3.4 p.p.) that opted to sell to the system the energy they produced at special regimes prices, thus benefiting from the tariff differential between the two regimes. In addition, consumption growth in Portugal is benefiting from the fact that electricity consumption per capita is 34% below the European average, thus some convergence effect is expected.
Electricity sales in the binding system, which accounted for 78% of the electricity distributed in Portugal, decreased by a mere 1.1% year-on-year to 34.2 TWh. The transfer of some MV and SLV clients to the liberalised market reflected in a decrease of electricity sales to these segments of 21.8% and 25.6%, respectively was almost compensated by the healthy consumption growth of the other segments.
The decrease in the number of VHV clients in the binding electricity system did not reflect in a decrease of electricity consumption in that segment (up 3.5% year-on-year), as the VHV industrial clients that opted to purchase energy in the liberalized market switched only in the 3Q2005.

EDP Distribuição
EDPDs allowed revenues decreased 3.0% year-on-year:
a) The Use of the Distribution Grid (UDGr) revenues increased 1.4%, on the back of higher electricity-flow at EDPDs network, which more than offset the 4% average reduction in unit revenues for this activity. In addition, EDPDs efforts to decrease the level of distribution losses brought an additional 3.2m of Incentives To Loss Reductions distribution losses were reduced from 8.6% in 2004 to 8.1% in 2005; b) Allowed revenues for the Network Supply (NS) and the Supply in the Public System (SPS) activities fell 20.0% following: i) a 50bps reduction in these activities regulated rate of return to 8.5%; ii) a 13.8% decrease in their structural commercial costs; and iii) a smaller regulated asset base for NS activity (investment subsidies allocated to the UDGr in prior years were re-allocated to the NS activity during the 2005 regulatory review, thus with no impact on the combined asset value of the three activities); c) 2005 allowed revenues also include a €37.7m recovery (through tariffs) of costs incurred within the scope of EDPDs HRRP*.
Costs with electricity purchases rose 11.0% year-on-year mostly due to: i) a 6.0% increase in electricity distributed; and ii) a 44% average increase in the Global Use of the System Tariff (mainly higher costs from Special Regime Generation) that resulted into an additional €127m charge; and iii) a 146m year-on-year increase in fuel costs adjustments. Regarding the later, fuel costs adjustments in 2005 totalled

150m (€4m in 2004) of which 43m, related to HV/MV, were recovered through the tariffs during the year and 107m, related to LV, were included in the 2006 allowed revenues. This, along with the inflation cap to residential consumers tariffs, contributed to the €369m system deficit of which 115m was attributed to EDPD. This deficit, acknowledged by ERSE and already included in EDPDs 2006 allowed revenues, will be recovered with interest between 2007 and 2011 through the tariffs.
Electricity gross profit fell 10% year-on-year. The difference between the electricity gross profit and the allowed revenues in 2004 amounted to €13.2m, of which 7.0m were returned to the tariffs in 2005, while the remaining is being returned in 2006. Regarding 2005, the electricity gross profit came €77.1m below the allowed revenues for the period due to higher fuel costs, than ERSEs estimates, that will only be reflected in subsequent years tariffs (reflected in the €107m LV fuel costs adjustment mentioned previously). This was partly offset by the fact that real consumption in the BES during 2005 came out 4.6% above ERSEs forecast and, as such, EDPD will have to return to the tariffs, in two years time, the fixed component of the electricity purchases that the company received in excess through the tariffs.

Electricity Gross Profit (-€129m)
Group supplies and services rose 18.2% year-on-year on the back of an increase in management fees invoiced by EDP S.A. (+€13.7m) following the new group policy of allocating to the business units the costs of services rendered by the holding company and EDP Valor (+€7.7m) for new services rendered. Non-group supplies and services increased 9.7% following: i) the accounting of supplies and services provided by Edinfor as "non-group" (€6.9m) after the sale of 60% of this company to LogicaCMG; ii) a €1.4m increase in O&M costs due to both a higher recourse to external services following the reduction of the number of employees and a higher need for repairs in consequence of this summer fires; iii) a €2.4 m increase of commercial costs (mostly publicity and meter readings); and iv) a €1.2m increase in fuel costs.
Personnel costs decreased 7.3% (or 2% if we exclude personnel costs capitalization and severance payments) mostly explained by: i) a 18m decrease in severance payments ( 20m in 2004 representing 86 mutual agreements); and ii) a reduction in the number of employees achieved both through the 2004 HRRP* (86 mutual agreements and 705 early retirements most of which achieved during the second half of 2004) and through the transfer to EDP Valor of 91 employees (of which 81 up to June 2005).
Costs with social benefits fell by some €290m year-on-year due to the accounting in 2004 of: i) an €87m cost (NPV) related to the 2003 HRRP*; ii) a €230m cost (NPV) related to the 2004 HRRP*; and iii) a €20m cost related to incentives paid to 731 early retirees that anticipated retirement age; which were partly offset by iv) a 21m increase in pension premiums and provisions for pension liabilities following the 2005 actuarial study, and v) the accounting in 2005 of a €29m cost (NPV) related to the reduction of 119 employees (8 negotiated dismissals and 111 early retirements) that left the company in December 2005 and therefore did not yet translate in personnel cost savings for the company.
Operating Investment in the distribution grid increased 5.6% year-on-year, which along with favourable weather conditions enabled a 14.4% improvement of Equivalent Interruption Time.

EDPs year-end 2005 financials include, for the first time, the 12 months proportional consolidation (59.6%) of Portgás. This company is the second largest distributor of natural gas in Portugal, operating in a concession area which includes 29 municipalities within the Oporto, Braga and Viana do Castelo municipalities. Already in September 2005, EDP signed a contract with Endesa to reinforce its shareholding to 72%. This operation is still subject to the non-opposition by the Portuguese Competition Authority.
The volume of gas distributed by Portgás increased 5.9% to 1,948 GWh at the end of 2005 from 1,839 GWh in 2004. The residential and services segments that contributed the most to this increase continue to provide clear evidence of healthy growth. Regarding the industrial segment, the economic slowdown experienced during 2005 took its toll and gas consumption decreased 36 GWh.
Gas sales amounted to €80.3m of which €74.8m relate to natural gas (NG) and €5.6m to liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) an increase of 23% from the 2004 sales figure. Similarly, gross profit increased 18.8% to €42.1m and EBITDA grew 27.1% to €31.8m by the end of 2005.
The bulk of Portgás operational investment was dedicated to developing its gas distribution network, with 79% of total investment in the period. The other investments are related to sales campaigns (8.3%), meter reading for new consumption places (7.5%) and adapting facilities from LPG to NG.
(1) In 2004, Portgás was not consolidated on EDP accounts. The 2004 figures are a pro-forma and should only be used in order to have a growth perspective

In 2005, the Spanish electricity market experienced a strong growth in electricity consumption: an increase of 4.3% versus 2004 or 3.1% when corrected for temperature effects and working days. Electricity generation at HC was up 6.7% as thermal output increased more than 7% in a very dry period (hydro coefficient of 0.46 vs. 0.79 in 2004) despite (i) a lower utilisation of Aboño II (536 MW) due to repair works in the 1Q2005 and (ii) a programmed stoppage in Soto II (236 MW) in the 2Q2005 due to triennial maintenance works.
The sound increase of the gross profit at the Generation and Supply activities in 2005 is explained by: i) the hike in pool prices with a 393m positive impact on gross profit; ii) the higher generation output with a positive impact of €15m; iii) a marginal increase in average fuel cost per MWh with a negative impact of €24m; iv) a €28m provision related to the consumption in excess of CO2 allowances following the very dry period; v) the increase in the supply activitys costs as a result of the hike in wholesale prices (-€178m in the gross profit); and vi) the fact that in the 2004 HC was able to recover 10m worth of CTCs by differences.
Spanish pool price reach the highest value in 2005 (average of 62.4/MWh in the period) following the very dry period, higher generation costs and a strong increase in peak demand. However, the revenues from the regulated electricity tariff were not enough to cover the strong increase in the systems generation costs, therefore causing a tariff deficit for the system. According to Spanish law HC has to finance 6.08% of the tariff deficit (€224m estimated for 2005). This was not deducted from revenues and was accounted as a financial investment given that the Royal Decree 1556/2005 that established the tariffs for 2006 recognised the right to recover the 2005 tariff deficit in future years through tariffs.
|
|
HC's average fuel costs per MWh increased 7.7% versus 2004 mainly due to higher natural gas costs since the beginning of 2005, on the back of the hike in oil prices. |
Notwithstanding, between December 2004 and December 2005, HC managed to reduce the average unit cost of its coal power plants by 7.5%.
CO2 emissions at HCs thermal power plants reached €12.9m tons in 2005. Due to the very dry period, which resulted in higher utilisation of thermal power plants, CO2 emissions were €1.4m tons above the estimated emission allowances to be consumed in the period. For this purpose HC booked a 28m provision as a direct activity cost.
(1) Includes wholesale market, ancillary services and capacity payment. (2) Excluding hydroelectric emission to calculate the average. (3) Load Factor: number of equivalent hours to the output of a power plant relative to the total number of hours in the period.

Gas Consumption in the Spanish system was up 18% in 2005 mainly due to higher demand of the electricity sector, which accounted for 79% of this increase, following the higher electricity generation based on CCGT technology during this dry period. Excluding the electricity sector, the conventional demand of gas increased 4.7% in the period following the increase in the number of clients, particularly in the liberalised segment.
Gas Distributed by HC through Naturgas decreased 2.3% while the number of consumers increased 3.8% (+22,102 consumers versus 2004). The decrease in distribution volumes is mainly explained by a lower activity in the corporate segment and a peak in gas demand during the 3Q2004, related to the electricity sector, which was not felt to the same extent in 2005. The regulated revenues for the distribution activity increased 13.1% in 2005, reflecting the forecasts regarding demand (for pressure < 60 bar) and number of clients growth for the year. The difference between the regulated revenues calculated based on these forecasts and those resulting from the use of the actual 2005 figures amounted to 1.3m and have already been adjusted to this activitys regulated revenues for 2006. According to the Ministerial Order that sets the revenues for the Spanish regulated gas activities, of the €1,251.2m attributed to the gas distribution activity in 2006, €124.1m were allocated to Naturgas and its subsidiaries (€111.5m considering the consolidation method of its subsidiaries)
Gas Supplied to liberalised clients rose 20% driven by the sound increase in the number of clients (65 times vs. 2004), which is the result of the success attained by Naturgas on a dual-fuel offer (electricity+gas) launched in the 2Q2005. Presently, Naturgas has more than 24,000 dual clients. This strategy, besides increasing Naturgass client base, is allowing Naturgas to secure clients that are switching from regulated market to the non-regulated market. Naturgas increased its market share in the liberalised market (excluding supply to the electricity sector) from 4.9% in 2004 to 5.5% in 2005.
Naturgass sales in both the regulated and liberalised gas market to final consumers amounted to 18,788 GWh, up 10% in volume versus 2004. Consequently, Naturgass retail market share increased to 7.1% in 2005 from 6.8% in the 2004 (excluding the electricity sector).
(1) Operating data considers 100% of Naturgas gas distribution subsidiaries figures, while all financial data considers the consolidation method.

[Graphic Appears Here]
Generation & Supply: The EBITDA of the electricity generation and supply activities increased 85% following the strong increase in gross profit as explained on page 20. Operating costs were mainly influenced by i) personnel restructuring costs ( 9m); ii) 40m as an extraordinary revenue related to the full recognition of the 2002 tariff deficit recovery that was in the balance sheet; iii) administrative and structure costs, previously booked at the holding level, that now are allocated to each of the activities (+ 16m in Generation and Supply); iv) 13m of generic provisions to cover sunk costs (capitalised as assets) on new generation projects and possible deviations in liquidations with OMEL; v) higher commercial costs related to marketing promotions and improvement of the call centre services ( 3m); and vi) higher O&M costs following the repair works at Aboño II and the programmed stoppage at Soto II ( 2m). Regarding capex, HC started the construction of second 400 MW unit at Castejón CCGT ( 25m), which is forecasted to start operations by the end of 2007. HC will start the construction works on other 400 MW CCGT in 2006, which will be located at Soto, to start operations in 2008.
Electricity Distribution: The increase in regulated revenues, recognised in the 2005 tariff, attributable to HC, contributed to the 2.4% growth of this activitys gross profit. Operating costs were mainly influenced by one-off items: i) 10m of personnel restructuring costs; ii) higher administrative and structure costs (+ 7m in Distribution) allocated to this activity; iii) higher costs (+ 7m) associated with commercial management services rendered by the Supply to the Distribution activity, which started to be provided during 2004; iv) prior years costs related to the change in the cost allocation criteria within HC Group, which was not completely reflected in 2004 (+ 6m); and v) creation of generic provisions ( 3m).
Gas: In 2005, gross profit increased 7.5% following an 11.3% increase in regulated revenues. It is important to note that approximately 80% of Naturgas gross profit comes from the regulated activity, thus providing stable operating cash-flows. During 2005, Naturgas changed its commercial image and launched a successful marketing campaign to promote its dual-fuel offer to liberalised clients, which had an impact of 4m on operating costs. Costs were also influenced by i) personnel restructuring costs ( 3.5m); and ii) the increase of local taxes following higher gas sales ( 2m).
Special Regime: The financial and operating figures of this division only include the activities carried out by Genesa, i.e., it does not represent all the activities performed by NEO Energia, the new company created by EDP to operate as a generator of electricity from renewable sources in Iberia and Europe. Please see page 35 for a detail on the operating figures of NEO regarding wind farms. Regarding Genesa, the output from renewables and cogeneration went up 79% to 1,124 GWh, mainly as a result of the capacity increase in wind farms. Wind generation almost doubled from the 272 GWh generated in 2004 to 529 GWh in 2005, following the entry into service of: Campollano (124 MW) in the 4Q2004, and Las Lomillas (50 MW 50% held by Genesa) and La Sotonera (19 MW) in the 3Q2005. As a result, gross profit and EBITDA increased more than 70% in 2005. Regarding capital expenditures, total investment in the period amounted to 180m, as a result of the capacity increase and the construction of the wind farms Boquerón (22 MW) and Belchite (50 MW) that started in the beginning of 2006 and Brujula (73 MW) to start in May 2006.

EBITDA 2005
As previously detailed, 76% of the strong gross profit growth that increased 203mwas driven by the Generation and Supply activities. As for the other activities, Special Regime contributed with 17%, Gas with 6% and Electricity Distribution with 1%.
Operating costs increased 22%, or 40m, vs. 2004 mostly due to non-recurring items, expansion of the activity and marketing expenses:
- Supplies and services (+ 18m): i) increase of the installed capacity in the special regime activity (+ 11m); ii) increase of marketing and commercial costs (+ 7m) in the liberalised electricity and gas activities related to the change of the commercial image, the launch of new marketing offers and publicity.
- Personnel costs (+ 43m): i) 33m related with an early-retirement programme for 84 employees; ii) 5m of severance payments related to the reduction of 30 employees through negotiated dismissals; iii) + 6m of costs with active workers following the increase in the number of employees and the annual salary adjustments.
- Other operating costs (or revenues) (- 22m): i) 40m as an extraordinary revenue related to the full recognition of the 2002 tariff deficit recovery that was in the balance sheet; ii) a 32m capital gain from the sale of HCs 3% stake in REE in April 2005 (vs. a 25m capital gain in 2004 from the sale of Retecal); iii) creation of generic provisions ( 16m) to cover sunk costs (capitalised as assets) on new generation projects, possible deviations in liquidations with OMEL and to cover contingencies in the distribution activity.
Financial results improved 21% mainly due to the 25% reduction in net interest payable to 64.6m, following the replacement of HCs external debt with cheaper inter-company loans from EDP ( 1,240m as of December 2005).
Net Profit more than doubled in comparison with 2004, reaching 173.3m, following the strong operating performance.

Total electricity distributed by Energias do Brasil increased 3.0%, propelled by consumption growth at Escelsas region, which is explained by the stronger economic growth and an increase in the number of clients. Bandeirante showed a mild consumption increase of 1%, a reflection of weakness in the residential segment, while Enersuls presented a 2.6% growth, following mild temperatures and a wet period.
Bandeirante: Gross profit rose 20.0%, reflecting the average 15.95% tariff increase granted in the October 2004 tariff adjustment and non-controllable costs below the amount recognised in the tariffs (a R$41m difference). In October 2005, ANEEL granted an -8.86% change in the annual tariff adjustment process, which reflects: i) -7.66% relative to the annual change of non-controllable costs (Part A) and the adjustment of controllable costs (Part B) to inflation; ii) -5.56% reflecting the impact of the conclusion on the 2003 tariff revision process (-R$102m to be reflected in tariffs from October 2005 to October 2006). ANEEL amended the initial tariff increase of 18.08% to a final 9.67% (it was provisionally amended to 10.51% in October 2004), as a result of the definitive calculation of the Regulated Asset Base (set at R$998 million) for the period from October 2003 to October 2007; and iii) +4.36% regarding the recovery of past costs which were not covered by the tariff (R$83m to be recovered until October 2006).
Escelsa: Gross profit soared 43.4% following: i) consumption growth of 6.4%; ii) the August 2004 revision process, where ANEEL granted a 4.96% tariff increase; iii) the amendment, in August 2005, of the 2004 tariff revision to a 8.58% increase (impact of +R$17m on the tariff base), to take into account the final Regulated Asset Base (R$928m) for the period from August 2004 to August 2007; iv) a 4.93% tariff increase granted in the August 2005 adjustment process (of which +6.56% are related to the recovery of past costs, in the amount of R$75m, until August 2006); and v) lower non-controllable costs than those recognised in the tariffs (R$18m difference).
Enersul: Gross profit increased 37.2%, reflecting a consumption growth of 2.6% and the 20.69% average tariff increase granted in April 2005 tariff adjustment. It is important to note that this adjustment includes the benefit of the correction of April 2003s tariff revision, from 42.26% to 50.81%, to take into account the final Regulated Asset Base (R$782m) for the period from April 2003 to April 2008 (impact: +R$20m as an increase to the tariff base and +R$20m as a retroactive effect, which is only valid for 12 months).
(1) Includes invoices from the extraordinary tariff granted by ANNEL to recover the 2001/2002 rationing losses and recovery of non-controlable costs (Parcela A) prior to Oct. 2001; Values deducted of VAT.

EBITDA 2005 1,249.2
Bandeirante: EBITDA increased 26.9% in 2005 thanks to the performance at the gross profit level. Operating costs rose 9.0% following: i) higher supplies and services costs which were affected by the increase of network inspections, meter readings and billing services (R$3m), and also by higher consulting costs (R$2m), higher software fees to upgrade commercial and technical information systems, and improvements of the call centre; and ii) the accounting of a R$26m provision against a receivable account from the company Piratininga, which is related to the split of the asset to recover, between Bandeirante and Piratininga, that resulted from the rationing losses, in the scope of the de-merger process of the former Bandeirante in 2001 (other operating costs).
Escelsa: EBITDA was up 88.4%, propelled by the healthy gross profit growth. Supplies and services rose 37% mainly due to: i) an increase of the maintenance services provided by external companies and a legal requirement to double the shift of the maintenance teams (R$7m); ii) the intensification of the programme to reduce the distribution losses
(R$4m); iii) increase of the services related to electricity cuts and re-connections (R$2m); and iv) higher consulting costs (R$3m). The other costs line was influenced by the reversion of a R$23m provision that was made to cover fiscal contingencies, which were waiting for a judicial decision and now were ruled in favour to the company.
Enersul: Gross profit was the main driver behind the 48.6% rise in EBITDA. Operating costs rose 22.5% mainly due to: i) higher maintenance costs following the network enlargement (R$3m); ii) higher network inspections, meter reading services and electricity cuts and re-connections services (R$4m); iii) an updating of the CRM systems (R$2m); iv) higher costs for billing; v) higher consulting costs; vi) higher IT services; and vii) higher provisions for doubtful debtors (+R$6m in other operating costs).
Presently, Energias do Brasil manages 531 MW of installed generation capacity (97% is hydroelectric), which generated 2,756 GWh in 2005. In the middle of 2005, Energias do Brasil unbundled the distribution and generation activities embedded in its distribution subsidiaries, in order to comply with the new regulatory framework for the Brazilian electricity sector. As a consequence, the power plants formerly embedded in the distribution companies (280 MW) were incorporated in the electricity generation division. This change was the main driver of the gross profit performance at the Generation & Trading division, contributing with R$68m in period. In addition, the tariff update at Lajeado 903 MW hydro power plant (EDP Lajeado has the right to sell 27.65% of the energy) and the 31.6% increase of the trading and supply activity to 6,379 GWh, also contributed to the gross profit growth. At the EBITDA level, these activities also benefited from the reversion of a R$90m provision created in 2003, which was related with the possible asset devaluation of Lajeado project. Regarding the expansion of the generation capacity, Energias do Brasil expects to increase its installed capacity by an additional 527 MW (100% hydroelectric) until the end of 2006 at: Peixe Angical (452 MW), São João (25 MW) and a new unit at Mascarenhas (50 MW). Construction capex at the Peixe Angical hydroelectric power plant was R$639m in the period and is expected a further R$170m in 2006.

In 2005, gross profit at Energias do Brasil increased 32.3%, on which the distribution activity contributed approximately with 80%, while generation and trading contributed with 20%. The sound increase was mainly driven by i) a 3.0% growth in the electricity distributed; ii) the positive amendments of Escelsa and Enersuls Regulated Asset Base; iii) lower electricity purchase costs than those recognised in the tariffs (R$67m), specially at Bandeirante; iv) higher electricity sales in the supply activity (+31.6%); and v) the unbundling of the distribution and generation activities embedded in the distribution subsidiaries.
Operating costs decreased 2.6% mainly due to the reversion of the R$90m provision that was made in 2003 to cover the potential asset devaluation of Lajeado project. Regarding supplies and services, the 20% increase is mainly explained by the distribution activity following annual adjustments to the supply contracts, higher maintenance related to the network enlargement as a consequence of the universal connection programme to all low voltage clients, intensification of the programme to reduce technical and commercial losses and higher consulting expenses following the corporate reorganisation. During 2005, Energias do Brasil launched Vanguarda Project which has the mission to identify and capture synergies within the companies of Energias do Brasil following its restructuring. This programme is expected to be fully implemented by 2007
The Initial Public Offering of Energias do Brasil, in July 2005, allowed the company to strengthen substantially its capital structure with the proceeds of R$500m and the conversion of R$670m of Escelsa Senior Notes, held by EDP, into Energias do Brasil share capital and enhance the companys ability to take advantage of new opportunities in the Brazilian electricity sector. In September 2005, EDP concluded a private placement of 2.2% of Energias do Brasil share capital at R$18 per share, reducing EDPs stake from 64.5% to 62.4% (note: Energias do Brasil has 165,016,221 common shares).
In Euro terms, EDP benefited from the appreciation of the Real, which in 2005 the average BRL/Euro rate was 3.02 versus 3.63 in 2004. At the EBITDA level this had a positive impact of €69m.

Gross adds increased 30.5% year-on-year, following the companys strategic focus on direct access clients and broadband internet (marketed under the brandname Oni Duo).
Voice traffic increased 7.1% year-on-year, mostly due to a 21.6% growth in the carriers segment, out of which 10.9% came from Oni Telecom. The residential segments voice traffic (Oni Telecom) decreased 30.7% year-on-year mostly due to the erosion of indirect access clients, which was not yet compensated by the growth in voice traffic from direct access clients (which more than doubled versus the year 2004). At the corporate segment, voice traffic increased 3.5% year-on-year, following: i) a 7.4% decrease at Oni Telecom explained by a reduction of voice traffic from indirect access clients; which was more than compensated by ii) a 9.3% growth at Comunitel.
Operating revenues increased 3.5% year-on-year excluding the proceeds from voice value added services, a business that was terminated due to regulatory changes in Spain on the back of an increase in revenues from both data & internet and other telecommunication services (e-services and infra-structure services provided to corporate clients).
Operating investment totaled €34.1m in 2005, up 33.4% year-on-year, due to the investments made at the ADSL network (namely broadband central offices) and the acquisition of equipments for corporate clients solutions. These items are related to an increased focus on broadband Internet services and to the increase in the number of clients.
(1)2004 operational and financial figures here presented are pro-forma, excluding Comunitels contribution for the 4Q2004. In 2005, following the sale of Comunitel (September), this company was only consolidated from January to September.

Proceeds from voice telecommunication services, excluding voice value added services, were up 3.2% year-on-year, affected by: i) a decrease in residential voice services from indirect access clients at Oni Telecom, following Onis strategic decision to focus on direct access clients; which was more than compensated by ii) an increase in corporate and carrier voice services.
Revenues from data & internet services were up 4.1% year-on-year, on the back of: i) a 9.6m increase in revenues from broadband Internet, out of which Oni Telecom contributed with 4.6m; and ii) an improved offer of direct access through ULL (Unbundling of the Local Loop).
Gross profit at the Oni Group increased 1.8% year-on-year, or 1.2 p.p., on the back of a positive evolution of the mix of services provided by Comunitel. Oni Telecoms gross margin remained stable at 53%.
Operating costs decreased 32.3% year-on-year due to a great extent to the accounting, in 2004 of a 47,5m non-recurring provision. Most of it reflects the reversal of a 40m tax credit booked in 2002 from the sale of Oni Way to Vodafone. Excluding this impact, operating costs would have decreased 7.8% as a result of: i) a 5.2m increase in clients acquisition and retention costs; and ii) a 1.5m increase in severance payments, which were more than compensated by the positive impacts of iii) a 14.8%, or 7.1m, decrease in personnel costs excluding severance payments on the back of both lower bonuses and a decrease in the number of employees; and iv) a 13.0%, or 7.1m, decrease in supplies and services other than clients acquisition and retention costs.
The Oni Groups Gross Profit improvement together with tight control of personnel costs and supplies and services, other than those related to clients acquisition and retention costs, enabled the company to achieve a 19.3m EBITDA in 2005, which represents an EBITDA margin of 6.9%.
Depreciations and amortizations in 2005 include a 30m cost related to an impairment made to the value of the contract with Transgás for the use of its fibre optic network by Oni.
In September 2005, the Spanish competition authority approved the Oni Group Sale and Purchase Agreement signed in July 2005 for the sale of its 99.93% stake in the share capital of Comunitel. With the completion of this operation, Oni booked under the gains on discontinued operations item a net capital gain of 33m.
In December 2005 Oni Telecom completed a 210m capital increase through the conversion of shareholder loans into Equity, which together with the proceeds from the sale of Comunitel ( 204m) and the de-consolidation of Comunitels financial debt ( 50m) enabled the Oni Group to reduce its net financial debt by some 430m (including shareholders loans). As a consequence, the company is currently renegotiating the maturity profile of its financial debt to adjust it in accordance with the cash-flow generation forecasted in the companys business plan.
(1)2004 finantial figures here presented are pro-forma, excluding Comunitels contribution for the 4Q2004. In 2005, following the sale of Comunitel (September), this company was only consolidated from January to September. (2)Excluding a 47.5m non-recurring provision, most of which reflects the reversal of a 40m tax credit booked in 2002 from the sale of Oni Way to Vodafone.
