Enel Chile S.A. Financial Summary (Form 6-K)

Business Context and Reporting Period

This filing covers the consolidated financial results of Enel Chile S.A. for the period ended June 30, 2025, and the second quarter (Q2) of 2025.

Key Financial Metrics

Note: Liquidity comprises US$ 320 million in cash/cash equivalents and US$ 590 million in committed credit lines.

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Decline: Operating revenues decreased 7.3% cumulatively and 12.6% in Q2 2025. This was driven primarily by lower energy sales in the Generation segment due to reduced hydroelectric and solar dispatch, and the expiration of contracts with regulated customers.
• Cost Reductions: Procurement and services costs fell 16.1% cumulatively and 19.9% in Q2, largely due to lower energy purchase costs and transportation expenses, which helped offset revenue declines.
• EBITDA Performance: Cumulative EBITDA grew 10.4% to US$ 659 million due to improved margins from cost savings. However, Q2 EBITDA dipped 3.4% to US$ 293 million.
• Profitability Pressure: Net income attributable to shareholders dropped 7.8% cumulatively and 35.3% in Q2. Q2 results were negatively impacted by higher asset depreciation, non-recurring expenses for early retirement incentives, and increased financial expenses.
• Segment Specifics:
  • Generation: EBITDA rose slightly (0.9%) cumulatively but fell 7.7% in Q2. Physical sales dropped 11.6% cumulatively.
  • Distribution & Networks: EBITDA surged 63.0% cumulatively and 16.4% in Q2, driven by lower operating costs despite a 2.3% drop in physical sales.

Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items

• Regulatory Framework: The company is navigating Chile's "Tariff Stabilization Law" (Law 21,185) and subsequent laws (21,472 and 21,667). These laws created stabilization funds to manage regulated customer tariffs, with receivables limits reached in 2022 and 2024. Law 21,667 allows for gradual tariff increases to recover accumulated debt.
• Currency Change Impact: The shift to US dollars as the functional currency eliminated certain cash flow hedges, resulting in a one-time recognition of US$ 657 million in lower revenues at the end of 2024. This change significantly impacts year-over-year comparability.
• Impairment Charges: The company recorded a US$ 29 million impairment loss on property, plant, and equipment related to the Las Salinas extension project and a US$ 6 million impairment on accounts receivable.
• Debt and Liquidity: Gross debt increased by US$ 40 million to US$ 3,970 million due to a new US$ 100 million credit line from CAF, partially offset by loan repayments. The average cost of debt decreased to 4.9%.
• Risk Factors: Key risks include regulatory changes, hydrological conditions affecting hydroelectric generation, commodity price volatility, and cross-default provisions in credit facilities.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Currency Translation Effects: Verify the impact of the functional currency change (CLP to USD) on year-over-year comparisons, particularly regarding the US$ 657 million revenue adjustment recognized in late 2024.
• Regulatory Receivables: Monitor the recovery status of accounts receivable under the Tariff Stabilization mechanisms (PEC and MPC) and the impact of Law 21,667 on future cash flows.
• Generation Mix Volatility: Assess the exposure to hydrological conditions and solar dispatch variability, which drove the 11.6% decline in physical energy sales.
• Debt Structure: Review the composition of the US$ 3,970 million gross debt, specifically the new CAF credit line and the maturity profile of existing bonds.
• Non-Recurring Expenses: Confirm the one-time nature of the early retirement plan incentives and the US$ 29 million impairment charge to understand normalized earnings potential.
