EBITDA totalled €247.4M in the first half of the year, 2.0% (€5.1M) below the same period of 2018.Lower rates of return, a decreasing RAB and OPEX contribution significantly contributed to thisoutcome. This was partly offset by the favorable progression of Portgás (+€0.8M) and Electrogas,that contributed with €3.9M to EBITDA;
Net Profit slightly decreased by 3.3% (€1.8M), standing at €51.1M. Below EBITDA, the resultbenefited from stronger Financial Results (€0.5M) and lower taxes (-€1.4M). The effective tax ratewas 38.8%, including the extraordinary levy (CESE). Without extraordinary effects, Recurrent NetProfit amounted to €75.5M, a 3.8% decrease over the previous year;
Net Debt improved by 1.8%, standing at €2,638.7M (-€48.0M). The average cost of debt continuedto go down, reaching 2.2% (versus 2.3% in 1H18);

This semester, REN’s operational performance was penalized by lower asset remuneration. However,higher Financial Results and the decrease in taxes partially mitigated this negative impact in NetProfit;
A decrease in the stock of Debt allowed the company to have stronger Financial Results.Nevertheless, the special levy on energy companies continued to hurt REN’s results, leading theeffective tax rate to 38.8%;
Both Portgás and Electrogas contributed positively to the results and are performing according toplan;
On July 23rd, REN announced the acquisition of 100% of Transemel, for 167 million USD. Transemelis located mainly in northern Chile, operating 92 km of electricity transmission lines and 5substations, with approximately 93% of its revenues coming from regulated activities owns. This willbe the second acquisition that REN makes in Chile after the purchase of 42.5% of Electrogas, and isin line with REN’s strategic plan, which is based on a conservative growth strategy. The transactionwill be financed solely with debt and will take place in the beginning of October.
