It is worth mentioning the 23.1% increase in the operating income from the international business in the third quarter despite the above mentioned negative conditions. The improvement mainly arises from the good performance of the generation activity in Chile Chile (chĭl`ē, Span. chē`lā), officially Republic of Chile, republic (2005 est. pop. 15,981,000), 292,256 sq mi (756,945 sq km), S South America, west of the continental divide of the Andes Mts. , which showed a 236% improvement in the first nine months of 2001 against 2000.

, the analysis of the results of ENDESA and its domestic electricity business carried out below is based on the comparison of the data for the first nine months of 2001 with the pro-forma income statement for the same period 2000.

1 Operating Income

ENDESA's revenues were Euro 11.33 billion (US$ 10.31 billion) in the first nine months 2001, a 3.3% rise on 2000.

EBITDA became popular in the 1980s to show the potential profitability of leveraged buyouts, but has become  was Euro 3.79 billion (US$ 3.45 billion), 1.3% higher than last year.

On the other hand, operating income was Euro 2.45 billion (US$ 2.23 billion), an increase of 2.2% against the first nine months 2000. When comparing the third quarter 2001 with the third quarter 2000 the increase is 5.7%.

1.1 Domestic electricity business

Operating income for the domestic electricity business was Euro 1.46 billion (US$1.33 billion) in January-September 2001, an increase of 2.0% against the first nine months 2000.

This increase corresponds to the net effect of several factors of which the following are highlighted:


- Capital gains of Euro 508 million (US$ 462 million) on disposals, which
include Euro 494 million (US$ 450 million) from the sale of the direct and
indirect shareholdings in the Argentinean Edenor.

- Provisions for Euro 87 million (US$ 79 million) to cover risks on regulation
and market evolution in Spain.


It is worth noting that the evolution of the above factors, and especially the hydro generation, has not been constant along the first nine months, having evolved towards more normalised levels at the end of the year.

The table below shows the evolution by quarter of the above factors.

(a) For a higher transparency and due to the particularities of
production and generation in the extrapeninsular systems, the
information on these activities is shown separately.


Generation

In the first nine months 2001, demand for electricity in the Spanish mainland Mainland.

1 Island (1991 pop. 14,150), 178 sq mi (461 sq km), N Scotland. The largest of the Orkney Islands, it is also called Pomona. Kirkwall, the seat of the Orkney Islands council area, is on the island.
 grew 5.9% against 2000. Still, the increase in production from the generation under the ordinary regime was only 3.7% as a result of the 22.6% rise in production from generators under the special regime.

Despite the above rise, ENDESA's generation sales in the mainland were 5.3% lower as a consequence of the following:


- Capital gains of Euro 508 million (US$ 462 million) on disposals, which
include Euro 494 million (US$ 450 million) from the sale of the direct and
indirect shareholdings in the Argentinean Edenor.

- Provisions for Euro 87 million (US$ 79 million) to cover risks on regulation
and market evolution in Spain.


The following table shows the structure of the generation in the

mainland for both ENDESA and the whole of the industry during the

period:

Distribution and Transmission

ENDESA distributed 56,502 GWh in the mainland in the first nine months 2001, a 4.2% rise on the same period 2000.

Despite this increase, revenues from transmission and distribution in the mainland decreased by Euro 178 million (US$ 162 million), mainly as a consequence of the following:


- Capital gains of Euro 508 million (US$ 462 million) on disposals, which
include Euro 494 million (US$ 450 million) from the sale of the direct and
indirect shareholdings in the Argentinean Edenor.

- Provisions for Euro 87 million (US$ 79 million) to cover risks on regulation
and market evolution in Spain.


Supply

In the first nine months of 2001, ENDESA sold 16,572 GWh to eligible customers, an increase of 10.6% against 2000.

Revenues from the supply activity were Euro 810 million (US$ 737 million), an increase of 17.1% against 2000, as a result of both higher physical sales and a higher average price of electricity sold.

Extrapeninsular Systems

ENDESA's production in the extrapeninsular systems for the period was 8,069 GWh. Total distribution volume was 8,440 GWh, 6.8% higher than in 2000. The difference between generation and distribution figures is due to the purchases of electricity from special regime generators.

Revenues from these markets were Euro 628 million (US$ 571 million), an increase of 5.6% against 2000. Besides, Euro 265 million (US$ 241 million) were accounted as compensations. This amount includes an additional Euro 174 million (US$ 158 million) which were provisionally pro·vi·sion·al

1.1.1.2 CTC

CTC revenues for the period were Euro 201 million as shown below:

The higher amount of technology CTCs, as defined by Royal Decree 2/2001 is due to the fact that, because of a settlement system by differences, lower pool prices bring higher CTC revenues.

The lower amount of coal CTCs is due to a smaller amount of generation using domestic coal in the first nine months 2001 as a consequence of the higher levels of hydro generation in the first quarter.

1.1.2 Operating Costs

Operating costs for the period rose 2.4% against last year, as shown below:

Purchases

Purchases showed an increase of Euro 171 million (US$ 155 million) in absolute and 4.4% in relative terms against last year, mainly as a consequence of the following:

-- Purchases of energy were higher by Euro 99 million (US$ 90

million), representing 3.7% above last year.

The reasons for this increase were:


- Capital gains of Euro 508 million (US$ 462 million) on disposals, which
include Euro 494 million (US$ 450 million) from the sale of the direct and
indirect shareholdings in the Argentinean Edenor.

- Provisions for Euro 87 million (US$ 79 million) to cover risks on regulation
and market evolution in Spain.


Once the above effects have been discounted, the purchases of

energy decreased by Euro 111 million (US$ 101 million) in the

period against last year, as the 11% lower pool price for the

electricity purchased for distribution and supply was partially

offset by the increase of the amount of energy sold to eligible

higher proportion of energy purchased from generators under the

special regime. It is important to highlight that these

generators, who receive a substantially higher price for their

electricity, accounted for 15.5% of sales to the system in the

period against 13.4% last year.

Still, it is important to point out that a significant difference

took place in the evolution of fuel costs in the mainland against

those in extrapeninsular systems. Fuel costs for the

extrapeninsular generation rose by Euro 46 million (US$ 42

million), 15.0%, as a result of higher oil prices, while, for the

generation in the mainland, fuel costs dropped by Euro 53 million

(US$ 48 million) due to a lower thermal thermal /ther·mal/ (ther´m'l) pertaining to or characterized by heat.

-- Energy transmission and other external costs rose 8.5% mainly

as a consequence of accounting for the access charges paid by

ENDESA Energia for the sales to eligible customers, as well as

other costs from trading and services to third parties, all of

which are on the other hand reflected as higher revenues.

b) Provisions

In the year 2000, the industry's revenues from regulated activities were not sufficient to pay the CTCs linked to the consumption of domestic coal. As a consequence, ENDESA accounted revenues for these CTCs, but, at the same time, and following a prudent accounting policy, created a provision for Euro 65 million (US$ 59 million) to cover the amount that had not been collected.

In the first nine months of 2001 an amount of Euro 54 million (US$ 49 million) was collected, that is, practically all of the coal premia Premia is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola in the Italian region Piedmont, located about 140 km northeast of Turin and about 40 km northwest of Verbania, on the border with Switzerland.  not collected in the year 2000. Therefore a reversion reversion: see atavism.  of the above provision was made.

On the other hand, a provision charge for Euro 87 million (US$ 79 million) was made to cover 50% of the revenues as higher compensations to extrapeninsular affiliates against the ones contemplated in the tariff, since their recognition and collection might imply lower CTC revenues in the amount of approximately ap·prox·i·mate

1.1.2.1 Personnel and other Operating Expenses Operating expenses

The amount paid for asset maintenance or the cost of doing business, excluding depreciation. Earnings are distributed after operating expenses are deducted.


As of 30 September 2001, workforce in the domestic electricity business was 15,432 employees, a decrease of 1,307 against the end of 2000.

Personnel costs for the period amounted to Euro 660 million (US$ 600 million), 1.1% higher than last year. This increase was caused by the salary review of the current year and the impact of the salary review for the year 2000 to compensate for the higher than expected inflation.

On the other hand, other operating expenses were Euro 411 million (US$ 374 million), an increase of Euro 5 million (US$ 5 million) or 1.2%, against the first nine months 2000.

The balance of this account in 2001 includes Euro 22 million (US$ 20 million) corresponding to the increase in costs from other activities, mainly from services to third parties. Disregarding dis·re·gard

 prices for eligible customers and the lower cost of energy purchased in the pool.

1.2 International Electricity Business

Operating income for the international electricity business in the period was Euro 1,03 billion (US$ 0.94 billion), an increase of 6.0% against last year.

In the year 2000, ENDESA sold all of its holdings in the Chilean company Transelec, which was fully consolidated in the first nine months 2000 with an operating income of Euro 64 million (US$ 58 million).

On the other hand, the operating income was impacted by an additional Euro 64 million (US$ 58 million) from the effect of the lower equivalent in Euro of the operating income from the foreign affiliates as a result of the devaluation of their local currencies.

Should the effect of the above two factors be discounted to allow a homogeneous year-on-year comparison, the increase in operating income would have been 19.2%.

The table below shows the performance of the EBITDA and operating income broken down by activity and their comparison against the previous year:

The above figures show the impact that the drought and the subsequent rationing rationing, allotment of scarce supplies, usually by governmental decree, to provide equitable distribution.

It is also the name of the earliest Brazilian currency (see from the Colonial period to 1942. , have had on ENDESA's results in Brazil, with a 19.6% drop in the operating income for generation and 14.4% for distribution.

Still the above negative impacts have been greatly compensated compensated /com·pen·sat·ed/ (kom´pen-sa?tid) counterbalanced; offset.  by the higher operating income from generation in Chile as a result of higher production levels, higher selling prices and the improvement in efficiency.

On the other hand, independently from the specific effects which the situation in each country has on the development of the business, it is important to point out that in general, in all of the countries and businesses where ENDESA has a presence in Latin America Latin America, the Spanish-speaking, Portuguese-speaking, and French-speaking countries (except Canada) of North America, South America, Central America, and the West Indies. , the development of Project Genesis is leading to an improvement in the efficiency which compensates the effects of an economic situation that is less favourable than expected.

This is highlighted by the fact that total workforce for the international electricity business as of 30 September 2001 was 10,766 employees, a decrease of 404 against 31 December December: see month.  2000.

The measures which have been implemented within the framework of Plan Genesis have allowed savings in costs and investments in annual terms of US$ 463 million (US$ 421 million) as of 30th September, representing 55% of the final target.

As for the new businesses, a negative result of Euro 15 million (US$ 14 million) is mainly due to the fact that these are activities in a maturing phase.

The results for telecommunications and new businesses are broken down as follows:

2.1 Financial Expenses

Financial debt as of 30th September 2001 was Euro 24.22 billion (US$ 22.04 billion), an increase of 2.29 billion (US$ 2.08 billion) against 31st December 2000. This increase was mainly due to the important investments made by ENDESA in Europe during the period. On the other hand, this increase is similar to the amount of debt reduction that will take place once the sale of Viesgo to Enel materialises. This will place the debt at similar levels as at the end of 2000.

Despite the increase in debt, financial expenses for the period decreased by Euro 17 million (US$ 16 million), that is, 1.4% against the first nine months 2000.

This reduction comes as a consequence of the lower average cost of debt, which has gone down from 6.36% in January-September 2000 to 5.94% for the same period this year.

The decrease in interest rates over the last months both for the Euro and the US dollar, and taking into account ENDESA's hedging hedging, in commerce, method by which traders use two counterbalancing investment strategies so as to minimize any losses caused by price fluctuations. It is generally used by traders on the commodities market.  policy, may ensure that the average cost of debt for both the years 2001 and 2002 will be lower than for the first nine months 2001.

      2.2 Foreign Exchange Differences

      The following table shows the strong deprecations that the Chilean
peso and the Brazilian real suffered against the Euro and the US
dollar during the period:

                                      % depreciation
                                    US dollar       Euro
Chilean peso                          21.2          18.9
Brazilian real                        36.5          34.0


The devaluation against the US dollar has a negative impact on the financial statements in local currencies of the affiliates in their countries, as it increases the balance of their dollar-denominated debt; also, the devaluation against the Euro has an impact on ENDESA's consolidated statements by reducing the value in Euro of both their assets and their results.

The above effects have had a negative impact of Euro 804 million (US$ 732 million) on ENDESA's equity through the "Foreign exchange differences" account. Additionally, the impact on the income statement was Euro 100 million (US$ 91 million), with an effect on net income after taxes and minorities of Euro 30 million (US$ 27 million).

 to ENDESA under the equity method were Euro 83 million (US$ 76 million) for the period.

The largest component of the equity losses is the one corresponding to AUNA AUNA Auditory Neuropathy, Autosomal Dominant 1 , with a loss of Euro 120 million (US$ 109 million), although it should be noted that the loss for the third quarter was 36% lower than the previous two quarters. This positive performance is due to a significant improvement of its magnitudes, in line with the objectives set by the 2001-2005 Strategic Plan, to the point that it has remained EBITDA positive since May, with a cumulative positive EBITDA of Euro 26 million (US$ 24 million) to 30th September 2001. Besides, it is important to point out the growth in the customer bases of the companies that integrate the holding.

On the other hand, ENDESA has increased its holding in REPSOL REPSOL Refinería Española de Petróleo, Sociedad Limitada (Spain Petroleum Refinery)  to 3%, thereby accounting the company under the equity method, with a positive result of Euro 18 million (US$ 16 million).

The rest of the equity income attributable to ENDESA corresponds mainly to the positive results from Aguas de Barcelona Barcelona (bär'səlō`nə, Catalan bär'səlō`nə, Span. bär'thālō`nä), city (1990 pop. 4,738,354), capital of Barcelona prov. and chief city of Catalonia, NE Spain, on the Mediterranean Sea.  and Red Electrica de Espana.

4 Extraordinary Results

Extraordinary results for the period were Euro 426 million (US$ 388 million). Its main components were:


- Capital gains of Euro 508 million (US$ 462 million) on disposals, which
include Euro 494 million (US$ 450 million) from the sale of the direct and
indirect shareholdings in the Argentinean Edenor.

- Provisions for Euro 87 million (US$ 79 million) to cover risks on regulation
and market evolution in Spain.
