Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. The document focuses exclusively on a regulatory tariff agreement.
Material Changes
On September 20, 2019, EDENOR agreed with the Government Secretary of Energy to maintain the tariff schedule in force prior to August 1, 2019, for a six-month period starting August 1, 2019. This applies to all tariff categories. Consequently, the upgrade of the Own Distribution Cost effective August 1, 2019, will be capped at the amount received during the immediately preceding six-month period for the recovery of the previous semester's deferral. The resulting difference will be recovered starting in 2020 over seven consecutive monthly installments, adjusted by the Own Distribution Cost.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management commentary indicates a deferral of full tariff recovery to 2020. The primary risk identified is the delay in recovering the full upgrade of the Own Distribution Cost, which impacts near-term cash flow recovery mechanisms. No specific financial guidance or outlook figures are provided in this text.
