AUDIT REPORT ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ISSUED BY AN INDEPENDENT AUDITOR 

Translation of a report and financial statements originally issued in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the 
Spanish-language version prevails (See Note 30) 

To the shareholders of REDEIA CORPORACIÓN, S.A.: 

Report on the financial statements 

Opinion 

We have audited the financial statements of REDEIA CORPORACIÓN, S.A. (the Company), which 
comprise the balance sheet as at December 31, 2023, the income statement, the statement of 
changes in equity, the cash flow statement, and the notes thereto for the year then ended. 

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view, in all material 
respects, of the equity and financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2023 and of its 
financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the applicable 
regulatory framework for financial information in Spain (identified in Note 2 to the accompanying 
financial statements) and, specifically, the accounting principles and criteria contained therein. 

Basis for opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with prevailing audit regulations in Spain. Our responsibilities 
under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the 
financial statements section of our report.  

We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements, including those 
related to independence, that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Spain as 
required by prevailing audit regulations. In this regard, we have not provided non-audit services nor 
have any situations or circumstances arisen that might have compromised our mandatory 
independence in a manner prohibited by the aforementioned requirements.  

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis 
for our opinion.

Key audit matters 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in 
our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the 
context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our audit opinion thereon, 
and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. 

Valuation of investments in group companies 

Description  As of December 31, 2023, the Company has recorded in the section " Non-current 

Our  
response 

investments in group companies and associates" investments in group companies and 
loans granted to group companies amounting to 2,849 and 611 million euros, 
respectively. In the section " Current investments in group companies and associates 
", the company recorded loans granted to group companies amounting to 817 million 
euros. 

The Company's Management evaluates, at least at the end of each fiscal year, the 
existence of indications of impairment and makes the necessary valuation corrections 
whenever there is objective evidence that the book value of an investment will not be 
recoverable. The amount of the valuation correction is the difference between its 
book value and the recoverable amount. 

We have considered this area as a key audit matter because the determination of the 
recoverable amount of the aforementioned investments requires the making of 
estimations. This involves the application of significant judgments in establishing the 
assumptions considered by the Company's Management in relation to these 
estimations, as well as the relevance of the amounts involved. 

Information on the applied valuation standards and corresponding breakdowns is 
included in notes 4, 8, and 21 of the accompanying financial statements. 

Our audit procedures in this regard included, among other, the following: 

 

Understanding the process established by the Company's Management to 
identify indications of impairment and determine the recoverable amount of 
investments in group and associate companies. We evaluated the design and 
implementation of relevant controls established in this process and verified the 
operational effectiveness of these controls. 

  We evaluated the analysis of the indicators of impairment of value of 

investments in group and associate companies performed by the Company's 
Management. 

  We reviewed the model used by the Company's Management for the 

determination of the recoverable amount in collaboration with our valuation 
specialists. This particularly included the mathematical consistency of the 
model and the reasonableness of projected cash flows and long-term discount 
and growth rates. 

 

In carrying out our review, we held interviews with those responsible for the 
development of the model and used recognized external sources and other 
available information to cross-check the data used. 

  We reviewed the sensitivity analyses performed by the Company's Management 
regarding the estimates made for the determination of the recoverable amount 
considering changes in relevant assumptions.

  We reviewed the breakdowns included in the report and assessed their 

compliance with the applicable financial reporting regulatory framework. 

Other matters 

On February 27, 2023, other auditors issued their audit report on the annual accounts for fiscal year 
2022 in which they expressed a favorable opinion. 

Other information: management report 

Other information refers exclusively to the 2023 management report, the preparation of which is the 
responsibility of the Company’s directors and is not an integral part of the financial statements. 

Our audit opinion on the financial statements does not cover the management report. Our 
responsibility for the management report, in conformity with prevailing audit regulations in Spain, 
entails:  

a. 

b. 

Checking only that the non-financial statement and certain information included in the 
Corporate Governance Report and in the Board Remuneration Report, to which the Audit Law 
refers, was provided as stipulated by applicable regulations and, if not, disclose this fact.   

Assessing and reporting on the consistency of the remaining information included in the 
management report with the financial statements, based on the knowledge of the entity 
obtained during the audit, in addition to evaluating and reporting on whether the content and 
presentation of this part of the management report are in conformity with applicable 
regulations. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there are material 
misstatements, we are required to disclose this fact.  

Based on the work performed, as described above, we have verified that the information referred to 
in paragraph a) above is provided as stipulated by applicable regulations and that the remaining 
information contained in the management report is consistent with that provided in the 2023 
financial statements and its content and presentation are in conformity with applicable regulations. 

Responsibilities of the directors and the audit committee for the financial statements 

The directors are responsible for the preparation of the accompanying financial statements so that 
they give a true and fair view of the equity, financial position and results of the Company, in 
accordance with the regulatory framework for financial information applicable to the Company in 
Spain, identified in Note 2 to the accompanying financial statements, and for such internal control as 
they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from 
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.  

In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Company’s 
ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and 
using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the 
Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. 

The audit committee is responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole 
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report 
that includes our opinion.  

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in 
accordance with prevailing audit regulations in Spain will always detect a material misstatement 
when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, 
individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic 
decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

As part of an audit in accordance with prevailing audit regulations in Spain, we exercise professional 
judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: 

 

 

 

 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether 
due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and 
obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The 
risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one 
resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, 
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. 

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit 
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing 
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. 

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of 
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. 

Conclude on the appropriateness of the director’s use of the going concern basis of 
accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists 
related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to 
continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are 
required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial 
statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are 
based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future 
events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. 

 

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, 
including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying 
transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. 

We communicate with the audit committee of the Company regarding, among other matters, the 
planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant 
deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. 

We also provide the audit committee of the Company with a statement that we have complied with 
relevant ethical requirements, including those related to independence, and to communicate with 
them all matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, 
related safeguards. 

From the matters communicated with the audit committee of the Company, we determine those 
matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period 
and are therefore the key audit matters.

We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure 
about the matter. 

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements 

European single electronic format 

We have examined the digital file of the European single electronic format (ESEF) of REDEIA 
CORPORACIÓN, S.A. for the 2023 financial year, consisting of an XHTML file containing the financial

The directors of REDEIA CORPORACIÓN, S.A. are responsible for submitting the annual financial report 
for  the  2023  financial  year,  in  accordance  with  the  formatting  requirements  set  out  in  Delegated 
Regulation EU 2019/815 of 17 December 2018 of the European Commission (hereinafter referred to 
as the ESEF Regulation). 

Our responsibility consists of examining the digital file prepared by the directors of the Company, in 
accordance with prevailing audit regulations in Spain. These standards require that we plan and 
perform our audit procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the contents of the 
financial statements included in the aforementioned digital file correspond in their entirety to those 
of the financial statements that we have audited, and whether the financial statements and the 
aforementioned file have been formatted, in all material respects, in accordance with the ESEF 
Regulation. 

In our opinion, the digital file examined corresponds in its entirety to the audited financial 
statements, which are presented, in all material respects, in accordance with the ESEF Regulation.

Company information

Redeia Corporación, S.A. (which changed its name from Red Eléctrica Corporación, S.A. on 13 June 2023), 
hereinafter, the Company, was incorporated in 1985 and has its registered office in Alcobendas (Madrid). Its 
main activities are:

(cid:127) Managing  the  corporate  group,  which  comprises  equity  investments  in  group  companies  and  their 

investees.

(cid:127) Providing support services and other assistance to its investees.

(cid:127) Managing the Company’s properties.

2

a)

Basis of preparation

True and fair view

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Company's directors on 27 February 2024 to give 
a true and fair view of the Company's equity and financial position at 31 December 2023, and its financial 
performance and the changes in its equity and cash flows during the year then ended.

The  financial  statements  are  presented  in  thousands  of euros,  the  Company’s  functional  and  presentation 
currency,  rounded  to  the  nearest  thousand,  and  prepared  from  its  accounting  records  in  accordance  with 
prevailing legislation, Spain's General Accounting Plan, enacted by Royal Decree 1514/2007, as amended by 
Royal  Decree-Law 1159/2010 and Royal Decree 1/2021, and the Resolution issued by  the ICAC (Spanish 
Audit and Accounting Institute) on 10 February 2021.

The Company is the parent of a group of companies called Redeia (hereinafter, the Group). In accordance 
with article 43.2 of Spain’s Code of  Commerce, the Group prepares  consolidated financial statements and 
places  them  on  file  at  the  Madrid  Companies  Register.  The  consolidated  financial  statements  will  be 
authorised  for  issue  on  27  February  2024  with  applicable  legislation  in  accordance  with  the  International 
Financial Reporting Standards approved by the European Union.

The  Company’s  2022  financial  statements  were  approved  at  the Annual  General  Meeting  held  on  6  June 
2023. The  2023 financial statements are  pending ratification at the Annual General Meeting.  However, the 
Parent’s Board of Directors expects them to be approved without modification.

b) Mandatory accounting policies not applied

The  Company  has  not  omitted  any  mandatory  accounting  policy  with  a  significant  effect  on  the  financial 
statements.

c) Use of estimates and assumptions 

Preparation  of the financial  statements  requires  the  Company’s  management to  use  judgement and  make 
estimates and assumptions that affect application of its accounting policies and the recognised amounts of 
assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and assumptions made by the Company are based 
on past  experience  and other  factors  considered  reasonable  under  the  circumstances. Actual  results  may 
differ from these estimates.

The  2023  financial  statements  make  occasional  use  of  estimates  made  by  the  Company’s  management, 
which are later ratified by its directors, in order to quantify certain of the assets, liabilities, income, expenses 
and obligations recognised therein. Essentially, those estimates refer to:

(cid:127)

(cid:127)

(cid:127)

(cid:127)

The estimates and assumptions used to test asset recoverability (nota 4-g).

The estimated useful lives of the Company’s fixed assets (note 5).

The assumptions used in actuarial calculations (note 15).

The assumptions and estimates used to calculate the fair value of derivative financial instruments (note 
11).

Redeia Corporación, S.A. | 2023 financial statements

Generally,  liabilities are  recognised  when  it  is probable  that  the  obligation  will  give  rise  to  an  indemnity  or 
payment.  The  Company  assesses  or  estimates  the  amounts  payable  in  the  future,  including  those 
corresponding to income tax, contractual obligations, the settlement of outstanding lawsuits or other liabilities. 
These estimates require interpreting current events and circumstances, projecting future developments and 
estimating what financial impacts those events will have.

For  a  better  understanding  of  the  financial  statements,  the  various  estimates  and  assumptions  made  are 
outlined in each note.

The Company has insurance coverage against third-party claims that could arise in the ordinary course of its 
business activities.

Although  the  estimates  were  made  on  the  basis  of  the  best  information  available  at  31  December  2023 
regarding the facts analysed, future events could make it necessary to revise them (upwards or downwards) 
in  coming  years.  Changes  in  accounting estimates  would  be applied  prospectively  in accordance  with the 
Spanish General Accounting Plan, recognising the effects of any change in estimates in the related statement 
of profit or loss.

d) Comparative information 

For comparative purposes, the Company has included the 2022 figures in addition to those of 2023 for each 
item of the balance sheet, statement of profit or loss, statement of changes in equity, statement of cash flows 
and the accompanying notes. The 2022 figures presented here formed part of the 2022 financial statements.

The  accounting  policies  and  measurement  rules  used  to  prepare  these  annual  financial  statements  are 
identical to those used to prepare the Company’s 2022 financial statements.

3

Proposed appropriation of profit

The directors propose the following appropriation of profit for 2023, subject to ratification by the Company’s 
shareholders at the Annual General Meeting:

Thousands of euros

Profit for the year
Voluntary reserves

Total basis of appropriation

Appropriation to:

Dividends:

Interim dividend
Final dividend

Total appropriation

450,428
90,349
540,777

147,249
393,528

540,777

This motion implies a final dividend of 0.7273 euros per share for a total dividend for the year of 1 euro per 
share, calculated for all outstanding shares.

The interim and final dividends for the year are detailed in note 14.

4

Significant accounting policies

The significant accounting policies used to prepare these annual financial statements are detailed below:

a)

Intangible assets

Intangible  assets  are  measured  at  acquisition  or  production  cost,  as  appropriate,  which  is  reviewed 
periodically and adjusted for any decrease in value. The assets included under this heading relate to software, 

Redeia Corporación, S.A. | 2023 financial statements

including user licences purchased, which are recognised at the cost incurred to acquire them and get them 
ready for use.

Costs associated with maintaining computer software programmes are recognised as an expense as incurred. 
Software is amortised on a straight-line basis over a period of between three and five years from when it is 
put into use.

b) Property, plant and equipment

The main  assets under this  heading are  land and buildings which  have  been measured at  construction or 
acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Construction costs 
can include the following items:

(cid:127)

(cid:127)

The external borrowing costs accrued exclusively during the construction period.

The operating expenses related directly with the construction work for developments under the Company’s 
control and management.

The Company transfers assets from work in progress to property, plant and equipment in use as soon as the 
asset is ready for its intended use.

The costs incurred to extend or upgrade items of property, plant and equipment that entail an increase in the 
asset’s productivity or capacity or an extension of its useful life, are capitalised.

Repair and maintenance costs that do not increase the assets’ productivity or capacity or lengthen their useful 
lives are expensed as incurred.

Property, plant and equipment is depreciated by distributing the cost of the various items on a straight-line 
basis over the estimated years of useful life, which is the period over which the Company expects to use the 
asset, as follows:

Buildings
Other facilities

Annual rate

2% - 10%
4% - 25%

The Company periodically checks its depreciation rates as a function of its assets’ useful lives. There were no 
significant changes in the asset depreciation criteria used in 2023 by comparison with those used in 2022.

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

c)

Investment properties

The Company measures its investment properties at their acquisition cost. The fair values of the Company’s 
investment properties are disclosed in note 6.

The Company’s investment properties other than land are depreciated on a straight-line basis by distributing 
the cost of the various items linearly over their estimated useful life, which is the period of time for which the 
Company expects to use them (annual rate of 2%).

d)

Leases

The  Company  classifies  its  leases  as  a  function  of  whether  or  not  it  substantially  transfers  the  risks  and 
rewards of ownership.

Specifically, it classifies arrangements in which it retains substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to 
ownership of the leased assets as operating leases.

e)

Financial assets and liabilities

(cid:127)

Financial assets

The  Company  classifies  its  financial assets  for measurement  purposes on the  basis  of  the  corresponding 
business model and the characteristics of the contractual cash flows. A financial asset is only reclassified from 
one category to another when there is a change in the business model used to manage them.

Redeia Corporación, S.A. | 2023 financial statements

10

Financial asset acquisitions and disposals are recognised on the date the Company undertakes to acquire or 
sell the asset, classifying them into the following categories: 

◦

◦

◦

Financial assets at amortised cost: In general, this category includes trade receivables, which are 
financial assets arising on the sale of goods and rendering of services in the course of the Company's 
trade operations with deferred payment, and non-trade receivables, which are financial assets that are 
neither equity instruments nor derivatives not arising on trade transactions with fixed or determinable 
payments arising from loans or credit transactions granted by the Company.

They are non-derivative financial assets held to collect contractual cash flows that are solely payments 
of principal and interest. They are  included under current assets, unless they mature  more than 12 
months after the reporting date, in which case they are classified as non-current assets. 

They are initially recognised at fair value which, barring evidence to  the contrary, is the transaction 
price plus directly attributable transaction costs. These financial assets are subsequently measured at 
amortised  cost  using  the  effective  interest  rate  method.  The  effective  interest  rate  is  the  rate  that 
exactly discounts estimated future cash flows through the expected life of a financial instrument to the 
net  carrying  amount  of  that  instrument  based  on  its  contractual  terms.  Interest  income  from  these 
financial assets is included in finance income. Any gain or loss arising from derecognition is recognised 
directly in the Company’s profit or loss, while impairment losses are presented under a separate line 
item in the statement of profit or loss for the year. 

Financial  assets  at cost: These  include  equity  investments  in  group  companies,  jointly  controlled 
entities and associates, and other equity investments whose fair value cannot be estimated reliably.

They are measured at cost, which is equivalent to the fair value of the consideration given plus directly 
attributable transaction costs, net of accumulated impairment losses, if any. The asset's recoverable 
value is the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and the present value of the estimated 
cash flows from the investment. 

Financial assets at fair value through equity: These are investments in equity instruments which 
the Company has opted to irrevocably designate into this category upon initial recognition.

They are measured at fair value and any gains or losses arising from changes in their fair value are 
recognised in equity until the financial asset is derecognised or written down for impairment, at which 
time the amount deferred in equity is reclassified to profit or loss. Dividends from these investments 
are recognised in the statement of profit or loss for the period.

The criteria used by the Company to measure fair value are disclosed in section l) below.

In  the  event  of  a  non-monetary  contribution  consisting  of  a  portfolio  of  securities  delivered  when 
subscribing  for  a  capital  increase  undertaken  by  a  subsidiary,  if  the  securities  contributed  were 
classified  in  the  former  financial  asset  category  called  ‘available-for-sale  financial  assets’,  the 
Company follows the Response to Consultation No. 1 published in the official journal of the ICAC (no. 
77/2009),  leaving  any  gains  or  losses  arising  from  fair  value  changes  as  of  the  date  of  the  non-
monetary  contribution  in equity. As  stipulated  in Recognition and  Measurement  Rule  9.2.4.3 of  the 
General Accounting Plan, in the event of an investment that is newly classified as an investment in a 
subsidiary,  joint  venture  or  associate,  if,  prior  to  that  reclassification,  fair  value  changes  had  been 
recognised  on  that  investment  directly  in  equity,  those  gains  or  losses  are  left  in  equity  until  the 
investment is disposed of or derecognised, at which point they are reclassified to profit or loss.

◦

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: This category includes financial assets that do 
not qualify for inclusion in any of the other categories.

These instruments are initially recognised and subsequently measured at fair value and any changes 
in fair value and gains or losses on their disposal are  recognised in profit or loss. They are  initially 
measured at fair value, which, unless there is evidence to the contrary, is the transaction price, which 
is  equivalent  to  the  fair  value  of  the  consideration  paid.  Directly  attributable  transaction  costs  are 
recognised in profit or loss for the year.

Redeia Corporación, S.A. | 2023 financial statements

11

The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial 
asset  expire,  or  it  transfers  substantially  all  the  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership of  the  financial asset or  it 
neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and it has not retained control 
of the transferred asset.

(cid:127)

Financial liabilities

The Company classifies all of its financial liabilities into the following category: 

◦

Financial  liabilities  at  amortised  cost:  In  general,  this  category  includes  payables  from  trade 
transactions, which are financial liabilities arising on the purchase of goods and services in the course 
of  the  Company's  trading  operations  with  deferred  payment,  and  payables  from  non-trade 
transactions, which are financial liabilities that are not derivatives and have no commercial substance, 
but arise from loans or credit received by the Company. Payables falling due within one year for which 
there  is no  contractual  interest  rate  expected  to  be  settled  in the  short term  are  measured  at  their 
nominal amount. Borrowings are classified under current liabilities unless they mature more than 12 
months after the reporting date, in which case they are classified under non-current liabilities.

Borrowings are measured initially at fair value. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, this is the 
transaction price, which is equivalent to the fair value of the consideration received net of attributable 
transaction costs. These sources of finance are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the 
effective interest method.

The Company derecognises a financial liability, or part of it, when it discharges the liability or is legally released 
from primary responsibility for the liability either by process of law or by the creditor.

f)

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash  and  cash  equivalents  include  cash  on  hand  and  demand  deposits  in  financial  institutions.  Cash 
equivalents  also  include  other  short-term,  highly  liquid  investments  that  are  readily  convertible  to  known 
amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. An investment normally qualifies as 
a cash equivalent when it has a maturity of less than three months from the date of acquisition.

g)

Impairment of assets

The  Company  assesses  the  recoverability  of  its assets at  the end of  each  reporting  period  and whenever 
events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. An asset is 
impaired when its carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses must be recognised 
immediately  in  profit  or  loss. An  impairment  loss is  the amount  by  which  the  carrying  amount  of  an  asset 
exceeds its recoverable amount.

The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of:

(cid:127)

(cid:127)

The fair value of an asset less costs to sell

The asset’s value in use

Recoverable  amounts  are  calculated  on  the  base  of  estimated  cash  flows.  Impairment  is  calculated  for 
individual assets. Where it is not possible to estimate the fair value of an asset, the fair value of the cash-
generating unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs is determined. Any reversal of impairment is recognised in 
the statement of profit or loss.

The impairment tests conducted by the Company in 2023 did not indicate any impairment of its investment 
properties (note 6).

In the case of impaired financial assets at amortised cost, the impairment loss is the difference between the 
carrying amount of  the financial asset and the present  value of  the estimated  future  cash flows, excluding 
future credit losses that have not been incurred, discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. For 
financial assets with floating interest rates, the effective interest rate at the measurement date, in accordance 
with the contractual terms, is used. 

Redeia Corporación, S.A. | 2023 financial statements

12

Impairment losses, and reversals thereof when there is a reduction in loss that can be objectively related to a 
subsequent  event,  are  recognised  in  profit  or  loss.  The  loss  can  only  be  reversed  up  to  the  limit  of  the 
amortised cost of the asset that would have been recorded had the impairment loss not been recognised. 

In the case of equity investments in group companies and associates, the recoverable amount is determined 
as the higher of the asset's value in use or fair value less costs to sell and the present value of the estimated 
cash flows from the investment. Unless better evidence of the recoverable amount is available, impairment is 
based on the investee’s equity, corrected for any unrealised gains existing at the measurement date. 

The  Company’s  impairment  tests  did  not  detect  any  indications  of  impairment  in  relation  to  its  equity 
instruments in or loans to group companies and associates.

h) Capital and reserves

The Company’s share capital is represented by ordinary shares.

Interim  dividends  are  deducted  from  equity  for  the  year  to  which  the  dividend  relates  on  the  basis  of  the 
corresponding  Board  resolution.  The  final  dividend  is  not  deducted  from  equity  until  it  is  approved  at  the 
corresponding Annual General Meeting.

Own  shares  are  measured at acquisition  cost and presented as  a  deduction from  equity. Any  gain  or  loss 
arising on the purchase, sale, issuance or cancellation of own shares is recognised directly in equity.

i)

Provisions

(cid:127) Employee benefits

◦ Pension obligations

◦

The Company has defined contribution plans, meaning plans that define the benefit an employee will 
receive upon retirement as a function of one or more variables, such as age, fund performance, years 
of service or pay. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed 
contributions to a separate entity and has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions 
if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employee benefits relating to employee service in 
the current and prior periods.

◦ Other long-term employee benefits 

These benefits include defined benefit plans other than pension plans, such as health insurance for 
serving and former Company employees. The expected costs of these benefits are recognised over 
the employees’ employment term. These obligations are measured each year by independent qualified 
actuaries. The effects of changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised, net of tax, in reserves within 
equity in the year they arise, while past service cost is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

Defined benefit liabilities recognised in the balance sheet reflect the present value of obligations at the 
reporting  date,  less  the  fair  value  at  the  date  of  plan  assets  and  any  past  service  cost  not  yet 
recognised. The Company recognises actuarial gains and losses in recognised income and expense 
for the year in which they arise.

Other  long-term  employee  benefits  also  includes  long-term  remuneration  plans  and  Structural 
Management Plan (hereinafter the “Plan”), which are measured each year. 

Redeia Corporación, S.A. | 2023 financial statements

13

(cid:127) Other provisions

The  Company  recognises  provisions  to  cover  present  legal  or  constructive  obligations  as  a  result  of  past 
events, so long as it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to 
settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. They are recognised when 
the liability or obligation arises. No provision is recognised for proceedings where the probability that the event 
will  occur  is  less  than  50%  as  the  Company  considers  that  the  outcome  of  these  proceedings  will  be 
favourable.

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation using a pre-
tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific 
to the liability. The increase in the carrying amount of a provision due to the passage of time is recognised as 
interest expense.

j)

Transactions in currencies other than the euro

Transactions  in  currencies  other  than  the  euro  are  recognised  at  the  exchange  rate  prevailing  at  the 
transaction date. During the year, the differences arising as a result of movements between the exchange rate 
used for initial recognition purposes and that prevailing on the date of collection or payment are recognised in 
profit or loss.

Fixed-income securities and credits and debits denominated in a currency other than the euro are translated 
at the closing exchange rate each year. Any resulting measurement differences are recognised as exchange 
gains or losses in the statement of profit or loss.

Financial derivative instruments and other instruments arranged in foreign currency to hedge the Company’s 
exposure to exchange rate risk are accounting for as outlined in “Derivative financial instruments and hedging 
transactions” below.

k) Derivative financial instruments and hedging transactions

Derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the purchase date (acquisition cost) 
and are subsequently remeasured to fair value at every reporting date. The treatment of the resulting gains 
or losses depends on whether the financial derivative has been designated as a hedging instrument and, if 
so, the nature of the hedged item.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an 
orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is 
directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique.

The Company formally documents the relationship between hedging instruments and the hedged assets or 
liabilities  at  the  inception  of  the  transaction,  along  with  the  risk  management  objective  and  strategy  for 
undertaking the hedge. It also documents its evaluation, at the inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether 
the derivative financial instruments used for hedging purposes are highly effective at offsetting the changes in 
the fair value or cash flows of the hedged items.

The fair value of the derivative financial instruments used to manage exchange rate risk is disclosed in note 
11.

l)

Fair value measurement

Fair  value  is  the  price  that  would  be  received  to  sell  an  asset  or  paid  to  transfer  a  liability  in  an  orderly 
transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly 
observable or estimated using another valuation technique.

Financial asset and liability fair value measurements are classified using a hierarchy articulated around the 
relevance of the inputs used to make the corresponding measurements. The hierarchy categorises the inputs 
used in valuation techniques into three levels:

(cid:127)

(cid:127)

Level 1: Fair value measurements based on quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.

Level 2: Fair value measurements based on inputs that are observable for the asset or liability.

Redeia Corporación, S.A. | 2023 financial statements

14

(cid:127)

Level 3: Measurements based on inputs that are not underpinned by observable market data.

If there is no quoted price from an active market, the Company uses valuation techniques that maximise the 
use  of  relevant  observable  inputs  and  minimise  the  use  of  unobservable  inputs.  More  specifically,  for  the 
various financial derivative  financial instruments not traded on organised markets, the Company estimates 
fair  value  using  valuation  techniques  which  include  the  use  of  recent  arm’s  length  transactions  between 
knowledgeable,  willing  parties,  reference  to  other  instruments  that  are  substantially  the  same,  discounted 
cash flow analysis discounted using the market interest and exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date 
and options pricing models enhanced to reflect the issuer’s specific circumstances.

m)

Income and expenses

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised as the Company satisfies its performance obligations. 

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is recognised so 
as  to  depict  the  transfer  of  promised  goods  or  services  to  customers  in  an  amount  that  reflects  the 
consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognised when the 
right  to  receive  payment  is established.  The  Company,  in  its  capacity  as  the  parent  of  the  Redeia  Group, 
applies the response provided by the ICAC to a consultation regarding the accounting treatment of income 
and expenses in the separate financial statements of a holding company and the measurement of revenue 
(Ref: 546/09) dated 23 July 2009. Specifically, it classifies dividends from equity investments  in  investees, 
interest on loans extended to those same investees and any gains on the disposal of these investments within 
revenue, unless they arise upon the disposal of a subsidiary, in which case, as likewise stipulated in that same 
resolution,  it  creates  a  line  item  within  operating income  to  reflect  the change  in the  fair  value  of financial 
instruments, impairment losses and disposal gains or losses.

Lastly, revenue also includes lease income and revenue from the provision of support services, as these form 
part of the Company’s core activities.

n)

Tax matters

Tax  expense/(income)  comprises  current  tax  and  deferred  tax.  Current  and  deferred  tax  is  recognised  as 
income or an expense and included in profit or loss for the period, except to the extent that the tax arises from 
(i)  a  transaction or  event  which  is  recognised,  in  the  same  or a  different  period, directly  in equity  or  (ii)  a 
business combination.

Current tax is the amount expected to be paid, using enacted tax rates, in respect of the current year, as well 
as any tax payable as a result of prior-year adjustments.

Income tax credit and other tax relief originating from transactions arising during the year are deducted from 
accrued tax expense unless there is uncertainty about their utilisation.

Deferred  tax  and  tax  expense  are  calculated  and  accounted  for  using  the  liability  method  considering 
temporary differences between the amounts recognised for financial reporting purposes and those used for 
tax purposes. The liability method consists of determining deferred tax assets and liabilities as a function of 
the  differences  between  the  carrying  amount  and  tax  bases  of  assets  and  liabilities,  using  the  tax  rates 
objectively expected to be prevailing when the assets and liabilities are realised and incurred, respectively. 

Deferred  tax  assets  are  recognised  only  to  the  extent  that  it  is  probable  that  future  taxable  profit  will  be 
available against which the tax assets can be utilised.

The  Company,  as  the  parent  of  the  Tax  Group,  recognises  the  total  amount  of  consolidated  income  tax 
payable/(receivable) with a charge/(credit) to loans to/(borrowings from) group companies and associates.

Insurance

The Company has a number of insurance policies to cover the risks to which its activities expose it. The chief 
risks are potential damage to the Company’s facilities and potential third-party claims arising in the course of 
its activities. The  cost of  the related insurance premiums is accrued in the statement of  profit  or loss. The 
income due from insurance companies as a result of claims is recognised in the statement of profit or loss in 
keeping with the revenue and expense matching principle.

p) Share-based payments

The Company has implemented share purchase plans whereby employees can receive Company shares as 
part of their annual pay packages. That remuneration is measured using the closing Company share price as 
of the date of delivery. Expenses incurred under these plans are recognised within employee benefits expense 
in the statement of profit or loss. All of the shares delivered to employees come from the Company’s treasury 
stock.

q)

Intragroup transactions

Transactions  between  group  companies  are  recognised  at  the  fair  value  of  the  consideration  delivered  or 
received. Any  difference  between  fair  value  and  the  amount  agreed  is  recognised  in  accordance  with  the 
underlying economic substance.

Land and buildings  relate to  properties  owned  by  the  Company  that are  held  for  use  in  its  main  business 
activities, as detailed in note 1. Of the total, 15,222 thousand euros relates to land and 72,922 thousand euros, 
to buildings.

The additions recognised under PP&E under construction and transfers in 2023 and 2022 related mainly to 
the purchase and assembly of equipment, and also the refurbishment of buildings owned by the Company.

At 31 December 2023, the original cost of fully-depreciated items of property plant and equipment still in use 
was 17,266 thousand euros (2022: 17,266 thousand euros), of which 14,683 thousand euros (in both years) 
related to other PP&E.

The Company did not capitalise any operating expenses related directly with self-constructed assets in either 
2023 or 2022.

Spanish Law 16/2012 introduced a range of tax measures designed to consolidate Spain's public finances 
and shore up economic activity, including the possibility of asset restatements using the coefficients stipulated 
in the legislation itself, under which the Company revalued its property, plant and equipment and investment 
properties with a credit to an equity line item named revaluation reserves. As stipulated in an ICAC resolution 
dated 31 January 2013, the asset restatements, if availed of, had to be recognised in the financial statements 
for 2013. Under the scope of that law, the Company restated its property, plant and equipment as of 1 January 
2013, paying a one-time tax of 5% of the amount of the revaluation.

The amount of the restatement, net of the one-time tax of 5%, was credited to reserves (note 14). The assets 
whose carrying amount was restated were land and buildings, in the amount of 6,304 thousand euros, and 
other PP&E, in the amount of 60 thousand euros. The restatements did not affect the amount of accumulated 
depreciation as of the restatement date.

The net increase in value resulting from this revaluation exercise is being depreciated during the remaining 
years of useful life of the revalued assets. The asset restatements implied the recognition of an additional 176 
thousand euros of depreciation charges in both 2023 and 2022.

The investment property derecognised in 2023 stemmed from the sale of a premises in a town in Valencia 
(and in 2022 from the sale of a premises in Oviedo) (note 20-d).

On  the  basis  of  market  appraisals  at  year-end  2023  and  2022,  the  Group  concluded  that  its  investment 
properties were not impaired, as their recoverable amounts remained above their carrying amounts. 

The  market  value  of  the  Company’s  investment  properties,  appraised  by  an  independent  expert,  was 
approximately  1.2  million  euros at  31  December 2023  (2022:  2.7  million  euros),  not generating  significant 
income or operating expenses.

(cid:127)

(cid:127)

In 2022, Red Eléctrica increased its capital by 515 million euros by issuing one share with a par value of 
2 euros and a share premium of 515,000 thousand euros. That share was purchased by the Company 
and paid for by means of the partial forgiveness of the loan described in note 21.

In 2022, Red Eléctrica Internacional increased its share capital by 196.1 million euros in order to in turn 
participate  in  the  capital  increase  undertaken  by  its  investee  Argo  Energia  Empreendimentos  e 
Participações S.A. (Argo Energía). This capital increase was fully subscribed and paid in by the Company. 
On 30 November 2022, Argo Energía completed the acquisition of 62.5% of the share capital of five power 
transmission  concessions  (“Argo  V,  VI,  VII,  VIII  and  IX”).  It  made  this  investment  by  means  of  a  joint 
investment with Grupo de Energía Bogotá (GEB) (37.5%), under a co-governance regime. The acquisition 
price attributable to the Group was BRL 1.05 billion (200.7 million euros).

(cid:127) On 29 June 2022, having obtained the pertinent approvals, the Company closed the sale of a 49% minority 
interest in Redeia Infraestructuras de Telecomunicación, S.A. for 995,618 thousand euros, under the terms 
of the agreement entered into between Redeia Corporación, S.A. and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. 
(KKR) through a subsidiary of the latter, Rudolph Bidco S.À.R.L, on 16 December 2021. Following that 
transaction,  the Company retains a 51% interest in Redeia Infraestructuras  de Telecomunicación, S.A. 
This transaction generated a gain of 969,909 thousand euros (note 20-e).

from Red Eléctrica and 26,928 thousand euros from Redeia Infraestructuras de Telecomunicaciones. It did 
not receive any dividends from its investees in 2022.

Annually, the Company carries out impairment tests to verify the recoverability of any equity investments for 
which it has detected indications of potential impairment. The Company used projected cash flow analysis to 
perform those tests. The tests revealed recoverable amounts in excess of the investments’ carrying amounts 
in all instances in 2023 and 2022, so that no impairment losses were required.

Given  the  existence  of  indications  of  impairment,  Redinter’s  investments  in  international  companies  were 
tested for impairment, without indicating the need to recognise any material impairment losses.  

The  key  assumptions  underpinning  the  businesses’  projections  used  to  calculate  value  in  use,  which  are 
based on business forecasts and past experience, are: 

(cid:127) Regulated remuneration: estimated based on the mechanisms stipulated in international regulations for 

updating these amounts.

(cid:127) Capital expenditure: the best information available regarding plans to invest in assets and infrastructure 

maintenance over the projection time horizon.

(cid:127) Operating and maintenance expenses: projected in line with the growth forecasts derived from the capital 

expenditure plan. 

(cid:127) Other  costs:  projected  on  the  basis  of  sector  knowledge,  past  experience  and  in  line  with  the  outlook 

derived from the capital expenditure plan. 

To calculate the present value of the projected cash flows, they were discounted using an after-tax rate that 
reflects the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of the business in question and country risk.

This exercise showed that the recoverable amount of Redinter’s international investments, including the loan 
to Transmisora Eléctrica del Norte S.A., is above their carrying amount.

In  2023  the  Company  also  tested  Redeia  Sistemas  de  Telecomunicaciones'  investment  in  Hispasat  for 
impairment, concluding that the recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount, so that Redeia Sistemas 
de Telecomunicaciones’ equity investment plus the loan extended to this investee are not considered impaired.

The main assumptions used to test the investment in Hispasat for impairment:

(cid:127)

The investment was measured at fair value less costs to sell, using the revenue approach, to estimate the 
recoverable amount of the satellite business. 

The  revenue  approach  indicates  the  recoverable  amount  of  a  business  using  the  present  value  of  its 
estimated  cash  flows,  i.e.,  discounted  cash  flow  (DCF)  analysis.  Specifically,  the  present  value  of  the 
future cash flows was arrived at by using a discount rate (the WACC) that reflects the time value of money 
and the risks associated with the projected cash flows. 

Costs to sell were estimated  considering the costs incurred in previous transactions undertaken by the 
Group. 

The  resulting  fair  value  less  costs  to  sell  was  then  grossed  up  by  the  value  of  the  equity-accounted 
investments included in the Hispasat Subgroup.

(cid:127) Cash flows were projected for 2024-2040 for existing satellites, which is aligned with their useful lives, and 
for  the  useful  life  of  new  satellite  assets  scheduled  for  launch  in  the  coming  years.  The  cash  flow 
projections  also  factor  in  the  Hispasat  subgroup's  expected  entry  into  new  business  models  and 
technologies. 

The cash flow projections beyond year five are considered reliable on the basis of the Group’s experience 
with  investments  with  a  significant  technology  component  that  imply  long-term  contracts  and 
commitments. Specifically, the satellite business materialises in long-term contractual commitments with 
customers, which usually cover most of the satellites’ useful lives, with a view to locking in a  minimum 
return  before  launching  new  satellites.  The  idea  is  to  attempt  to  lay  solid  foundations  for  earning  the 
estimated return from a satellite before embarking on the project. 

The  terminal  value  of  traditional  technology  is  zero  as  the  infrastructure  that  underpins  this  business 
ceases to generate income or expenses at the end of the satellites’ useful lives. For infrastructure that 
uses new technology and the projected new businesses and services, the terminal value was estimated 
assuming growth in perpetuity of 0% and 1.25%, respectively.

(cid:127)

(cid:127)

(cid:127)

The EBITDA margins modelled for the traditional business and the new technologies and new businesses 
and services were similar to those used in 2022, yielding an average EBITDA margin of 59%.

The  exchange  rates  used  to  translate  the  projected  cash  flows  denominated  in  foreign  currency  were 
based on forecasts for the US dollar (USD), Brazilian real (BRL) and Mexican peso (MXN).

The cash flows were discounted at a rate based on the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) taken 
from a report prepared by an independent expert. Specifically, they were discounted at a pre-tax rate of 
7.85% for the traditional satellite business and infrastructure based on new technology (2022: 8.58%) and 
at a pre-tax rate of 13.99% in the case of the new businesses and services (2022: 12.3%).   

Lastly, the fair value less costs to sell of the companies consolidated into the Hispasat Subgroup using the 
equity method was reduced by the fair value of the Hispasat Subgroup’s net borrowings in order to derive the 
equity value of Redeia Sistemas de Telecomunicaciones’ investment.

Financial risk management policy

The  Company’s financial  risk  management  policy  establishes principles and guidelines  to  ensure  that  any 
significant  risks  that  could  compromise  its  objectives  and  activities  are  identified,  analysed,  assessed, 
managed and controlled, and that these processes are carried out systematically, framed by uniform criteria.

The main guidelines set down in those principles can be summed up as follows:

(cid:127) Risk management should be fundamentally proactive and directed towards the medium and long term, 

taking into account possible scenarios in an increasingly global environment.

Redeia Corporación, S.A. | 2023 financial statements

23

(cid:127) Risk  should  generally  be  managed  in  accordance  with  consistent  criteria,  distinguishing  between  the 

importance of the risk (probability/impact) and the investment and resources needed to mitigate it.

(cid:127)

Financial  risk  management  should  be  designed  to  avoid  undesirable  movements  in  the  Company’s 
fundamental value, rather than generating extraordinary gains.

The Company’s finance management  is responsible  for managing financial risk, ensuring consistency with 
the  stated  strategy and  coordinated  risk  management,  identifying  the  main  financial  risks and defining  the 
initiatives to be taken, based on different financial scenarios.

The  methodology  for  identifying,  measuring,  monitoring  and  controlling  financial  risks,  as  well  as  the 
performance indicators and measurement and control tools specific to each risk, are set down in the Group’s 
Comprehensive  Risk  Management  System  and  are  formally  documented  in  the  Comprehensive  Risk 
Management Policy, the General Management Procedure and the internal risk control system.

The financial risks to which the Company is exposed are:

a) Market risk

The risk of movements in the financial markets with respect to prices, interest rates, exchange rates, lending 
terms and conditions and other variables that could affect the Company’s borrowing costs in the short, medium 
or long term.

These  risks are  managed by borrowing  in specific currencies, at  specific maturities  and opting for specific 
interest  rate  formulas,  and  by  using  financial  hedging  instruments  that  modify  the  characteristics  of  the 
Company’s financial structure. The following risks stand out within market risks:

(cid:127)

Interest rate risk

At both year-ends, the Company’s was mainly exposed to interest rate risk through its statement of profit or 
loss. 

Movements in interest rates affect both the fair value of the assets and liabilities that carry interest at a fixed 
rate and the future cash flows of assets and liabilities benchmarked to floating rates. A change of 0.10% in 
either direction in interest rates in 2023 would have increased or decreased earnings by 922 thousand euros 
(2022: 1,147 thousand euros).

(cid:127) Currency risk

Management of this financial risk addresses transaction risk derived from having to collect or pay cash in the 
future in a currency other than the euro.

The  Company  has  arranged  cross  currency  swaps  to  eliminate  the  currency  risk  derived  from  the  loans 
extended to Red Eléctrica Chile, a Group company. These instruments swap floating-rate debt in euros for 
fixed-rate debt in dollars, so hedging the collection of US dollars in the future.

(cid:127) Credit and liquidity risk

This is the Company's biggest financial risk as most of its borrowings are arranged by other Group companies, 
which  assume  the  related  market  and  liquidity  risk.  Credit  risk  is  managed  through  policies  stipulating 
requirements  regarding  counterparty  creditworthiness  and  the  provision  of  additional  guarantees  when 
necessary. The Company believes there is no risk that it will not be able to collect its receivables at year-end 
2023.

Moreover, there are  no  restrictions  on  the use  of  the  cash  balances  presented  in the  Company’s balance 
sheet.

11 Derivative financial instruments

Framed by its financial risk management policy, the Company has arranged cross currency swaps as hedges. 
These instruments swap floating-rate debt in euros for fixed-rate debt in dollars, so hedging the collection of 
US dollars in the future. The Company has not formally designated the swaps as a hedge; rather, the gains 
and losses derived from changes in the rate of exchange of the derivative financial instruments are offset in 
its statement of profit or loss by the changes arising in the long-term loan extended to the Group company, 
Red  Eléctrica  Chile  (note 21). In  contrast, that hedging relationship has been formally documented for the 
purposes of  the Group’s consolidated  financial  statements, qualifying  as  a  hedge  of a  net  investment  in  a 
foreign operation in dollars.

The Company layers in adjustments for credit risk in order to reflect own credit risk and counterparty credit 
risk  in  the  estimated  fair  value  of  its  derivative  financial  instruments,  calculated  using  generally  accepted 
valuation models.

To determine the credit risk adjustment, it uses a technique based on the calculation, using simulations, of the 
total expected exposure (which therefore includes current and potential exposure), adjusted for the probability 
of default over time and the loss given default assigned to the Company and each of its counterparties.

The total expected exposure of derivative financial instruments is obtained using observable  market inputs 
such as yield, currency and volatility curves, factoring in market conditions at the measurement date.

The  inputs  used  to  determine  own  credit  risk  and  counterparty  credit  risk  (which  in  turn  determine  the 
probability  of default) are  mainly  based  on  own  credit  spreads and the spreads of  comparable  companies 
currently traded on the market (CDS curves, yields on bond issues).

Also, to adjust fair value for credit  risk, the Company factors in  credit enhancements from guarantees and 
collateral  when  determining  the  loss  given  default  rate  to  apply  to  each  position.  Loss  given  default  is 
considered constant in time. If there are no credit enhancements from guarantees or collateral, a minimum 
recovery rate of 40% was modelled.

The Company uses mid-market prices taken from external sources of information widely used in the financial 
markets as observable inputs.

Equity instruments in the table above presents investments in economic interest groupings (EIGs) which lease 
assets that are managed by another company that is unrelated to the Company, which retains substantially 
all the risks and rewards associated with the assets, with the Company simply availing of the tax incentives 
provided for in Spanish legislation. The investments were carried at 2,825 thousand euros at year-end (2022: 
6,603 thousand euros). The Company recognises the difference between the tax losses that are generated 
and declared by the economic interest groupings and its investments in them as finance income (notes 17 
and 20-c).

These investments are classified within Level 2 for fair value hierarchy purposes. 

At both year-ends, loans to third parties reflects long-term loans extended by the Company to its staff. The 
loans  accrue  interest  at  Euribor  plus  a  spread,  as  stipulated  in  the  corresponding  collective  bargaining 
agreement.

At  year-end  2023,  the  balance  recognised  under  non-current derivative  financial  instruments  reflects  their 
valuation, as outlined, along with their breakdown and maturity profile, in note 11.

Other current financial assets at 31 December 2023 relates to the interest accrued and outstanding on those 
derivative  financial  instruments.  At  31  December  2022  it  also  included  short-term  financial  investments, 
specifically time deposits and private repo securities.

Trade receivables from group companies and associates at both year-ends reflect the balances due collection 
in relation to the Company’s day-to-day activities managing its Group (note 1).

Other receivables at both  reporting dates  include balances due under property leases and other operating 
income from services provided to third parties.

Receivable from employees at both year-ends mainly reflects the long-term loans extended by the Company 
to its staff (note 12).

Current tax assets at both dates reflect the amount of income tax receivable that the Company has recognised 
in its capacity as parent of the Tax Group. 

Lastly, at 31 December 2023 and 2022 other taxes receivable reflect value-added tax (VAT) receivable by the 
Company. 

14 Equity

a) Capital risk management

The Group's capital management objectives are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern in order 
to generate returns for its shareholders and maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

To  maintain  and  adjust the  capital  structure,  the Company  can adjust  the  amount  of  dividends  payable  to 
shareholders, reimburse capital or issue new shares.

Given the Company’s activity and its investees’ ability to generate cash, capital risk is not considered material.

b) Capital and reserves

(cid:127) Share capital

At 31 December 2023 and 2022, the Company’s share capital comprised 541,080,000 shares represented by 
book entries, all subscribed and paid  in, carrying the same  voting and dividend  rights  (notwithstanding the 
limits outlined in the paragraph below), with a unit par value of fifty euro cents. They are admitted to trading 
on the four Spanish stock exchanges and are traded through the continuous market (SIBE for its acronym in 
Spanish).

The Company is subject to the shareholder limitations stipulated in additional provision twenty-three of the 
Spanish Law 54/1997 (27  November 1997) and article 30 of the Electricity Sector Act  (Law 24/2023 of  26 
December 2013). 

Redeia Corporación, S.A. | 2023 financial statements

30

Specifically, any individual or entity may hold shares in the Company, provided that the sum of their direct or 
indirect interests in its share capital does not exceed 5% and their voting rights do not surpass 3% of the total. 
These share may not be syndicated for any purpose. Voting rights in the Company are limited to 1% in the 
case of entities that carry out activities in the electricity sector, and individuals and entities that hold direct or 
indirect interests exceeding 5% of the share capital of such companies, notwithstanding the limits applicable 
to generators and agents under article 30 of the Electricity Sector Act. The above limits on shareholdings in 
the Parent do not apply to the state industrial holding company, SEPI for its acronym in Spanish, which must 
maintain a shareholding of at least 10%. At 31 December 2023 and 2022, SEPI held 20% of the Company’s 
share capital.

(cid:127) Reserves

This heading includes:

◦

Legal reserve

Spanish companies must transfer 10% of profit for the year to a legal reserve until this reserve is equivalent 
to at least 20% of share capital. This reserve cannot be distributed to shareholders until that threshold is met 
and may only be used to offset losses, provided no other reserves are available. Under certain conditions, 
this reserve may also be used to increase share capital. At 31 December 2023 and 2022, the legal reserve 
was equal to 20% of share capital (54,199 thousand euros).

◦ Revaluation reserve (Law 16/2012 of 27 December 2012).

As  allowed  by  Law  16/2012,  introducing  a  range  of  tax  measures  designed  to  consolidate  Spain's  public 
finances and shore up economic activity, the Company availed of the possibility of restating its property, plant 
and equipment. The revaluation reserve amounts to 6,042 thousand euros, net of the one-time tax of 5% on 
the revaluation gain. The revaluation reserve balance did not change in 2023.

That  reserve  can  be  used  to  offset  losses  or  increase  capital  ever  since  the  three-year  tax  inspection 
prescription period (counting from presentation of the 2012 return) elapsed. Ten years after that same date it 
will qualify as an unrestricted reserve. However, this balance may only be distributed, directly or indirectly, 
when the restated assets have been fully depreciated, sold or derecognised.

◦ Other reserves

This  line  item  mainly  includes  voluntary  reserves  and  first-time  application  reserves  in  the  amounts  of 
2,179,965  and  19,895  thousand  euros,  respectively,  at  31  December  2023  (2022:  1,791,069  and  19,895 
thousand euros, respectively). Both reserve accounts are freely distributable.

At both reporting dates, this heading also includes reserves set aside under legal requirements in the amount 
of 264,547 thousand euros, mainly including the asset revaluation reserve generated at the Company in 1996 
in  the  amount  of  247,022  thousand  euros. This  reserve  can  be  used,  without  becoming  taxable,  to  offset 
losses,  increase  capital  or,  10  years  after  its  creation  and  once  the  revalued  assets  have  been  fully 
depreciated,  as unrestricted  reserves. However, this balance  may only be distributed, directly or indirectly, 
when the restated assets have been fully depreciated, sold or derecognised.

The spin-off in 2015 of the telecommunications business line from Red Eléctrica Internacional for transfer to 
Redeia Infraestructuras de Telecomunicación generated a reserve in the amount of 74,407 thousand euros at 
the difference between the value of the net assets spun off to that Group company, which was 74,417 thousand 
euros,  and  the  amount  at  which  the  Company  carried  its  investment  in  that  same  business  through  Red 
Eléctrica Internacional. This reserve balance did not change in 2023.

In 2023, the amount of reserves was reduced by the cost of issuing other equity instruments and the coupons 
accrued on those same instruments in a total amount of 30,062 thousand euros, net of the related tax effect 
(refer to other equity instruments below and note 16).

Redeia Corporación, S.A. | 2023 financial statements

31

Reserves also include the capitalisation reserve, in the amount of 74,818 thousand euros at 31 December 
2023 (2022: 56,133 thousand euros) originated, with a charge against earnings, in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2020, 
2021 and 2022. The capitalisation reserve corresponding to 2019 was recorded in 2020 at Red Eléctrica de 
España  S.A.U. The  capitalisation  reserve  endowment  for  2023  will  be  made at  Red  Eléctrica  de España, 
S.A.U., a subsidiary of the same Tax Group, in keeping with article 62.1 d) of Law 27/2014. This reserve will 
be restricted for five years. Associated with this reserve, each Group company in the Tax Group has made the 
corresponding adjustments to their annual income tax.

(cid:127) Own shares

At 31 December 2023, the Company held own shares representing 0.21% of its share capital; specifically, it 
held 1,112,017 shares with an aggregate par value of 556 thousand euros, which it acquired at an average 
price of 17.53 euros per share. At 31 December 2022, own shares represented 0.28% of its share  capital; 
specifically, 1,499,900  shares with an aggregate par value of  750 thousand euros, which  it acquired  at an 
average price of 17.53 euros per share (note 28).

These  shares  are  recognised  as  a  reduction  in  equity  and  were  carried  at  19,496  thousand  euros  at  31 
December 2023 (year-end 2022: 26,296 thousand euros).

The Company is compliant with all of its obligations under article 509 of the Corporate Enterprises Act which 
stipulates that, other than in the exceptional cases itemised in company law, the par value of any own shares 
acquired by listed companies, plus those already held directly or indirectly by the parent and its subsidiaries, 
may not exceed 10% of share capital. The subsidiaries do not hold any own shares or any Company shares.

(cid:127) Profit for the year

The Company’s profit amounted to 450,428 thousand euros in 2023 (2022: 947,571 thousand euros).

(cid:127)

Interim dividend and motion for the distribution of dividends

The interim dividend approved by the Board of Directors in 2023 has been recognised by reducing equity by 
147,249 thousand euros at 31 December 2023 (147,143 thousand euros at year-end 2022).

On  31  October 2023,  the  Board  of  Directors agreed  to  pay  an  interim dividend  from  2023  earnings  in  the 
amount of 0.2727 euros per share (before withholding tax), payable on 5 January 2024. 

The cash flow forecast for the period elapsing between 30 September 2023 and 5 January 2024 showed the 
existence of sufficient liquidity to substantiate its distribution. Moreover, the amount to be distributed did not 
exceed the profit generated by the Company since its last year-end, net of the estimated income tax payable 
on those earnings, as required under article 277 of the consolidated text of the Corporate Enterprises Act.

As  required  in  article  277  a)  of  the  Corporate  Enterprises Act,  the  Board  authorised  the  issuance  of  the 
following liquidity statement:

The cash flow forecasts as of the date of the resolution did not - and do not - point to any restrictions on the 
availability of funds. In addition, given the Company’s ability to generate cash and its undrawn credit facilities, 
it expected to have sufficient liquidity during a period of one year from declaration of the interim dividend.

Redeia Corporación, S.A. | 2023 financial statements

32

Lastly, as  shown  in  the  financial  statements and as  contemplated at  the  time of  the declaration,  the profit 
generated in 2023 was sufficient to permit the interim dividend payment.

As  per  the  proposal  for  the  appropriation  of  the  Company’s  profit  for  the  year  (note  3),  the  directors  are 
planning to submit a motion at the upcoming Annual General Meeting for the distribution of a final dividend, 
which, together with the interim dividend, will imply a total distribution of 540,777 thousand euros, and a total 
dividend for the year of one euro per share, calculated considering all shares.

(cid:127) Other equity instruments

On 24 January 2023, the Company issued 500 million euros of subordinated perpetual securities in a single 
tranche. Those notes qualify as green financing. The par value of each security was 100 thousand euros and 
they were issued at a price of 99.67% of par, with a 4.625% coupon.

Given  that  the  repayment  of  the  principal  and  payment  of  the  coupon are  entirely  at  the discretion  of  the 
Company,  these  subordinated  notes qualify as  an equity  instrument and  are presented  within  other  equity 
instruments in the statement of total changes in equity for the year ended 31 December 2023.

c)

      Valuation adjustments

At  both  reporting  dates,  this  heading  reflects  the  fair  value  gains  on  the  Company’s  investment  in  Redes 
Energéticas Nacionais, SGPS, S.A. (REN) until 2015, when it transferred the investment, by way of a non-
monetary contribution, as consideration for its participation in the capital increase undertaken by Red Eléctrica 
Internacional S.A.U., another Group company.

These  gains  will  be  kept  in  equity  under  the  investment  is  sold  outside  the  Group  or  written  down  for 
impairment, triggering its reclassification to profit or loss (note 4-e).

The accrued amounts are recognised as employee benefits expense or as finance costs, depending on their 
nature. The amounts of employee benefits expense and finance costs recognised in the statement of profit or 
loss in 2023 were 214 thousand euros and 295 thousand euros, respectively (2022: 252 thousand euros and 
361 thousand euros, respectively). Changes in the present value of these obligations resulting from actuarial 
gains  and  losses  are  recognised  within  reserves  in  equity.  The  gross  amount  recognised  in  2023  was  a 
negative 815 thousand euros (2022: a negative 4,044 thousand euros) and is shown under actuarial gains 
and losses in the reconciliation above.

Provisions for employee benefits also include the commitments assumed by the Company under its long-term 
employee remuneration programme, with the amounts falling due in the next 12 months reclassified to current 
provisions.

Lastly, other provisions in the table above includes the amounts recognised by the Company annually to cover 
potentially unfavourable rulings on third-party claims.

17 Tax matters

The Company files its taxes under the tax consolidation regime as part of Tax Group 57/2002, of which it is 
the parent.

a) Reconciliation of accounting profit to taxable income

Accounting profit differs from taxable income due to the different treatment afforded certain transactions for 
tax versus accounting purposes. 

Below is a reconciliation of accounting profit for 2023 and 2022 and the taxable income the Company expects 
to report when its annual financial statements have been approved:

Taxable  income  was  deducted  by  the  losses  declared  by  the  economic  interest  groupings  in  which  the 
Company has investments in the amount of 100,035 thousand euros in 2023 (90,658 thousand euros in 2022) 
(note 12).

The effective income tax rate is shaped by permanent differences and tax credits. The difference between the 
effective and statutory rates is primarily attributable to application of the double taxation relief for dividends 
and gains from the disposal of significant interests in resident entities, as  regulated in article 21 of Spain’s 
Income Tax Act (Law 27/2014 of 27 November 2014) and the deduction for the capitalisation reserve derived 
from the increase in equity, as allowed in article 25 of that same Act.

Redeia Corporación, S.A. | 2023 financial statements

36

In  2023,  the permanent  differences related mainly  to  application  of  the exemption arrangements aimed  at 
avoiding double taxation on the dividends received from the Company’s subsidiaries (specifically, from Red 
Eléctrica  de  España  and  Redeia  Infraestructuras  de  Telecomunicación).  In  2022,  they  related  mainly  to 
application of the exemption arrangements aimed at avoiding double taxation on the gain obtained on the sale 
of a 49% interest in Redeia Infraestructuras de Telecomunicación, S.A.

Taxable  income  was  also  reduced  by  the  capitalisation  reserve  in  both  years.  The  capitalisation  reserve 
endowment  for 2023  will be  made at  Red  Eléctrica  de España, S.A.U., a  subsidiary of  the Tax  Group,  as 
contemplated in article 62.1 d) of Law 27/2014 (note 14).

The  tax  credit  utilised  in  2023  derived  from  credit  for  donations  and  company  contributions  to  pension 
schemes. In 2022 it derived mainly from credit for donations.

c) Deferred tax assets and liabilities

Temporary  differences  in  the  recognition  of  expenses  and  income  for  accounting  and  tax  purposes  at  31 
December 2023 and 2022, and their corresponding accumulated tax effect, were as follows:

In both 2023 and 2022, deferred tax assets featured reversals of taxes that were deferred in 2013 and 2014 
as a result of application of the limit on the deduction of depreciation charges under article 7 of Law 16/2012 
of 27 December 2012, introducing a range of tax measures designed to consolidate Spain's public finances 
and shore up economic activity, and as a result of the start in 2015 of depreciation for tax purposes of the net 
increase in value resulting from the asset revaluation exercise undertaken at 31 December 2012, as stipulated 
in article 9 of that same piece of legislation, and also due to long-term employee benefit obligations. 

Other  in the table  in  2023  above  includes a deferred  tax  asset associated  with  the  tax  losses  reported  by 
several Tax  Group companies  that could not be included in  taxable  income under application of additional 
provision  eighteen  of  Law  27/2014,  introduced  via  Law  38/2022  of  27  December  2022.  The  deferred  tax 
liabilities derive from the accelerated depreciation of certain assets.

The notes to the Company’s financial statements for 2006 included the disclosures required under article 86 
of Law 27/2014 regarding the merger between Red de Alta Tensión, S.A.U. (REDALTA) and Infraestructuras 
de  Alta  Tensión  S.A.U.  (INALTA).  The  notes  to  the  2008  financial  statements  included  the  disclosures

d) Years open to inspection

In  accordance  with  prevailing  tax  legislation,  tax  returns  cannot  be  considered  final  until  they  have  been 
inspected by the tax authorities or until the applicable inspection period has elapsed.

In  2022 the  tax  authorities  initiated  general  inspection proceedings  covering  the period between  February 
2018 and December 2020 in respect of VAT, personal income tax withholdings and non-resident withholdings. 
In 2023 the Company accepted the personal income tax and VAT assessments handed down, which did not 
imply any penalties and did not have any impact on its earnings in 2023. 

In March 2022 the authorities also initiated general inspection proceedings with respect to corporate income 
tax (consolidated tax regime) covering 2017 to 2020 and partial verification proceedings covering 2012 and 
2014. In 2023 they also began partial verification proceedings covering 2021 for other companies within the 
Tax Group.

In 2023, the Company signed assessments, some of which it has challenged, without incurring any penalties 
whatsoever and without having to make any restatements. The amounts are  itemised and disclosed in the 
Group’s  consolidated  financial  statements.  The  matters  subject  to  debate  that  are  being  contested  are 
currently pending ruling by the Tax Inspection’s Technical Office.

The court proceedings taken to challenge the above-mentioned partial verifications covering 2012 and 2014 
concluded in 2022 with the National Appellate Court ruling in favour of the Tax Group. Following that ruling, 
the inspections finalised in 2023, yielding net late payment interest payable to the Group.

The Company remains party to certain court proceedings related with its income tax from 2011 and 2015. 

The Tax Group has also requested the rectification of the tax paid in instalments between 2016 and 2022. In 
2020, the tax authorities ruled in favour of the rectification  requested in respect of 2016 and 2017 and the 
Company has appealed its decision regarding the other years requested. 

In accordance with prevailing tax legislation, the tax returns presented for the various different taxes cannot 
be  considered  final  until  they  have  been  inspected by  the  tax  authorities or  until  the  applicable  inspection 
period has elapsed (four years). 

Since existing tax law and regulations are subject to interpretation, tax inspections initiated in the future for 
years open to inspection could give rise to tax liabilities that are currently not possible to quantify objectively. 
However, the Company’s Board of Directors estimates that any liabilities that could arise as a result of any 
such inspections would not have a material impact on its future earnings.

19 Disclosures regarding average supplier payment term. Additional 
Provision Three - "Disclosure requirements" under Law 15/2010

One of the objectives of Law 18/2022 of 28 September 2022, on business creation and growth, is to reduce 
late payments on trade debt and enhance access to financing.

Among  other  things,  it  amends  Law  15/2010  of  5  July  2010,  which  in  turn  amended  Law  3/2004  of  29 
December 2004, establishing measures to tackle supplier non-payment, regulating the deadlines for settling 
trade transactions between companies or between companies and the public sector, specifically in Additional 
Provision Three thereof.

The amendments made to Additional Provision Three by Law 18/2022 require:

(cid:127) All  corporate  enterprises  to  expressly  disclose  in  the  notes  to  their  annual  financial  statements  their 

average supplier payment terms.

(cid:127)

Listed companies and unlisted companies that do not present short-form financial statements are required 
to publish, in addition to their average payment terms, the monetary value and number of invoices paid 
within  the  legally  stipulated  deadline  and  their  percentage  shares  of  the  corresponding  totals.  That 
information must be included in their financial statement notes and on their corporate websites if they have 
one.

In  its  official  journal  no.  132/2022,  the  ICAC  writes  that  this  new  legislation  expands  the  disclosures  that 
corporate enterprises must include in their financial statement notes and on their corporate website, to the 
extent they have one. However, it does not modify the methodology used to calculate the average supplier 
payment term and therefore does not modify its earlier resolution of 29 January 2016, which sought to clarify 
and systematise the information companies are required to include in their separate and consolidated financial 
statements for the purposes of complying with their disclosure requirements under Additional Provision Three 
of Law 15/2010 of 5 July 2010, amending Law 3/2004 of 29 December 2004.

As  required  under  these  regulations,  the  disclosures  regarding  the  Company’s  average  payment  terms  in 
2023 and 2022 are provided below:

General Meeting held on 29 June 2021 (the former policy was approved in 2019 and covered 2019 to 2021).

At the Annual General Meeting held on 6 June 2023, and as stipulated in the Company’s bylaws, the Parent’s 
shareholders ratified the motion presented by the Board of Directors for the approval of the Annual Report on 
Director Remuneration, which included, among other matters, the proposal for director remuneration in 2023.

The remuneration approved, which covers the members of the Board of Directors, the Chairwoman and the 
CEO, is unchanged from 2022.

The  Chairwoman,  in  her  capacity  as  non-executive  chair,  receives  a  fixed  annual  sum  in  addition  to 
remuneration in her capacity as member of the Board of Directors. She only receives fixed remuneration, i.e., 
she has not been allocated any variable remuneration (neither an annual bonus or participation in long-term 
incentive schemes) and she is not entitled to any termination benefits. 

The CEO, on the other hand, receives fixed and variable remuneration (an annual bonus and participation in 
a  long-term  incentive  scheme) for the performance of  his executive  duties,  as  well as  remuneration in his 
capacity as  member of  the Board of  Directors.  He  also  receives  certain  employee benefits. Some  of  both 
components of his variable remuneration is settled via the delivery of Company shares.

In addition, the CEO is a beneficiary of a defined contribution pension scheme, covering retirement, death and 
permanent disability. Redeia Corporación, S.A.’s obligation under this scheme is limited to making an annual 
contribution equivalent to 20% of the CEO’s fixed compensation for his performance of executive duties.

The CEO’s annual variable remuneration is framed by predetermined and quantifiable objective criteria and 
targets established by the Parent's Appointments and Remuneration Committee at the start of each year. The 
targets are aligned with the strategies and initiatives laid down in the Group’s Strategic Plan and their delivery 
is assessed by that same committee.

The  CEO  also  participates  in  the  Long-Term  Incentive  Plan  (LTIP)  for  Promoting  the  Energy  Transition, 
Reducing the Digital Divide and Boosting Diversification. That Plan’s targets are likewise associated with those 
set out in the Group’s Strategic Plan and are aligned with the key aspects of the Director Remuneration Policy. 
The LTIP has a duration of six years and will end on 31 December 2025.

Under the Director Remuneration Policy, the CEO’s contract, in line with generally accepted market practice, 
includes a termination benefit equivalent to one year's remuneration in the event his contract is terminated by 
the Company or as a result of a change of control. 

Likewise  in  line  with  market  practices  in  these  cases,  following  his  appointment  as  CEO,  his  previous 
employment  contract  was  suspended.  In  the  event  of  his  termination,  he  would  accrue,  for  severance 
purposes, the remuneration in force at the date of suspension, taking into consideration his length of service 
at the Group up until his appointment as CEO (15 years) plus the period during which he provides his services, 
if any, following his discontinuation as CEO, all of which in keeping with prevailing labour legislation.

The Company did not recognise any loans, advances or guarantees extended to the members of its Board of 
Directors on its balance sheet at either 31 December 2023 or 31 December 2022. Not did it have any pension 
or life insurance obligations, other than as outlined above, on their behalf at either reporting date.

The  Company  had  arranged  director  and  officer  liability  insurance  at  both  reporting  dates.  These  policies 
cover both the Company's directors and its key management personnel. The annual cost of the premiums in 
2023 was 221 thousand euros, including tax (245 thousand euros in 2022). These premiums are calculated 
based the nature of the Company’s activities and as a function of its financial metrics, so that it is not feasible 
to apportion them between the directors and key management personnel or to allocate them to each individual.

The members of the Board of Directors did not perform any transactions with the Company, either directly or 
through persons acting on their behalf, outside of the ordinary course of business or other than on an arm's 
length basis in either reporting period.

23 KPM remuneration

The key management personnel who provided services to the Company in 2023 and 2022 and their positions

In 2023, the Company’s key management personnel accrued 2,371 thousand euros of remuneration, which 
has been recognised under employee benefits expense in the accompanying statement of profit or loss (2022: 
2,540  thousand  euros).  These  amounts  include  the  accrual  of  variable  annual  remuneration,  on  the 
assumption that the objectives set each year will be met. After delivery of the corresponding targets has been 
verified, these bonuses are paid out in the early months of the following year, adjusted for the definitive delivery 
metrics.

Of the total remuneration accrued by key management personnel in 2023, 49 thousand euros represented 
contributions to life insurance and pension plans (15 thousand euros in 2022).

The Group had not extended any advances or loans to these executives at either 31 December 2023 or 31 
December  2022. At  year-end  2023  and  2022  the  Company  had  assumed  life  insurance  commitments  on 
behalf of these executives; the premiums on those policies cost it approximately 14 thousand euros in 2023 
(2022: 15 thousand euros).

The key  management personnel also participate in the Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) for Promoting the 
Energy Transition, Reducing the Digital Divide and Boosting Diversification. That Plan’s targets are likewise 
associated with those set out in the Group’s Strategic Plan and are aligned with the key aspects of the Director 
Remuneration Policy. The LTIP has a duration of six years and will end on 31 December 2025.

The Company’s serving key management personnel do not enjoy any guarantees or golden parachute clauses 
in the event  of dismissal.  In  the event of  the termination of their employment agreements, their severance 
would be calculated in keeping with applicable labour legislation.

In  2015,  the  Company  implemented  a  Structural  Management  Plan  that  applies  to  some  of  its  key 
management  personnel.  The  beneficiaries  of  this  Plan  must  comply  with  certain  requirements  and  their 
participation can be modified or revoked by the Group under certain circumstances.

The  Company  had  arranged  director  and  officer  liability  insurance  at  both  reporting  dates.  These  policies 
cover all of the Company’s key management personnel. The annual cost of the premiums amounted to 221

Risk management

Redeia Corporación is the Parent of the Group and has a Comprehensive Risk Management system in place 
designed to ensure that the risks that could affect the achievement of the Group's strategies and objectives 
are  systematically  identified, analysed,  assessed,  managed  and  controlled,  framed by  uniform criteria and 
within the established tolerance level thresholds. The Comprehensive Risk Management Policy was approved 
by the Board of Directors of the Company, as Parent of the Group, on 27 July 2021.  

This Comprehensive Risk Management System, the Policy and the General Procedure regulating it are based 
on the COSO ERM 2017 (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission) Enterprise 
Risk Management - Integrated Framework. 

The Corporate Risk Map depicts the Group's, including the Company's, most significant risks and is prepared 
on the basis of  a bottom-up  methodology, whereby  the risks are  identified, analysed and assessed by  the 
different  organisational  units  before  being  escalated  for  validation  by  the  executive  officers,  managing 
directors and corporate heads, before they are ultimately presented to the Chair of the Group, the Executive 
Committee, the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors. 

The  Board  of  Directors  is  charged  with  approving  the  Comprehensive  Risk  Management  Policy  and  the 
Group's accepted risk tolerance level, while the Audit Committee is tasked with overseeing the effectiveness 
of the Comprehensive Risk Management system. The Executive Committee is responsible for ensuring that 
the Group's relevant risks and action plans to mitigate them are adequately monitored. 

The  Comprehensive  Risk  Management Policy also  covers  financial  risk  management,  as  explained  in the 
"Financial  risk  management  policy"  note  to  the annual  financial  statements. The  Company’s  Sustainability 
Report provides further details of the Group’s main risks at present, as well as risks which could emerge in 
the future. 

The main risks to which the Company and the Parent of the Group are exposed and which could affect the 
achievement of their objectives are: regulatory risks (including tax risks), as the Group's main businesses are 
closely regulated; operational risks, primarily through their activities in the electricity and telecommunications 
businesses; financial risks; market risks; and environmental risks.

Environment

The  Company  had  no  assets  of  an  environmental  nature  at  31  December  2023,  nor  did  it  incur  any

Our people

Work continued throughout 2023 on the sustainable management model of diverse and committed talent, an 
essential part of the People and Culture Department’s Operational Plan, which uses a systematic approach 
to attract, discover, develop, train, transform and retain talent and exchange knowledge. The model pursues 
excellence to ensure that the Company remains a national and international benchmark. This is to be achieved 
through six lines of action, with the first —transformational leadership— being key to the achievement of the 
others: attracting talent, learning, development, knowledge management and differentiation. 

Relying on digitalisation, technology, innovation, sustainability and diversity, the Company seeks to become 
a  leader  in  the  transformation  of  talent  and  corporate  culture  while  involving  society  in  the  organisation's 
challenges, fostering actions that motivate and inspire both within the Company and beyond.

This ongoing transformation is driven and galvanised through leadership and people development through 
our Leadership Model and Skills Model, which set out how to achieve the objectives and challenges set. The 
aim of all this is to maintain high commitments that result in excellent employee contributions on the path to 
achieving the objectives set out in the 2022-2025 Strategic Plan. 
On this front, in 2023 efforts were made to: 

(cid:127) Position the Company's leaders as the spearheads of the transformation so that they can promote and 
develop self-leadership habits among others that foster responsibility, self-management and self-learning. 
This is carried out through a 360 degree assessment process that identifies areas for improvement and 
deploys resources and development programmes, such as the new Lidera programme, designed on the 
basis of the leadership model.

(cid:127) Plan talent needs, by identifying new profiles and positions, treating diversity and inclusion as competitive 
advantages that bring opportunities and benefits to both the organisation and the broader society through 
the creation of specific programmes for the new profiles identified. 

(cid:127) Develop  talent  within  the  organization  through  programmes  such  as  Talentia  for  employees  with 
managerial  potential,  Gestores  for  those  tasked  with  people  management  processes,  and  specific 
programmes for data analysts and other business IT roles. 

(cid:127)

(cid:127)

Foster self-development, by offering a bespoke selection of initiatives that allow employees to  manage 
their own development, and by engaging leaders in the achievements of their teams. The new Redeia 
Skills  Model,  first  rolled  out  in  2022,  continued  to  be  implemented  throughout  the  year,  so  as  to  align 
growth with the Company’s objectives.

Implement  the  Development  Recommendations  so  that  employees  can  work,  either  autonomously  or 
accompanied, on the skills chosen in each case in response to the Skills Model. These recommendations 
include  internal  mobility  (through  temporary  placements,  coverage  of  vacancies  and  international 
mobility), postings to projects and training actions.

a) A stable, engaged and highly qualified team 

At  year-end  2023,  the  Company  had  a  headcount  of  422  employees. The  Company's  commitment  to  the 
professional development of its personnel and to maintaining their employability during their tenure is reflected 
in the high percentage of employees on permanent contracts (nearly 100%), with the focus on employability 
and functional mobility as a lever for growth and professional development.

b) Diversity 

The Company's commitment to diversity, inclusion and non-discrimination is articulated in its new 2023-2025 
Comprehensive  Diversity  Plan,  which  is  aligned  with  both  the  Strategic  Plan  and  the  2030  Sustainability 
Commitment. The purpose of the plan is to inspire and be a benchmark, both within the organization itself and 
the wider social, labour and human environment, through the commitment to talent diversity, social inclusion, 
employment  and  non-discrimination,  breaking  down  stereotypes  and  cultural  barriers.  The  goals  of  the 
Comprehensive Diversity Plan are to: 

(cid:127) Embed  diversity  across  all  Redeia  processes,  especially  people  management,  taking  account  of 
everything  that this  implies  (gender,  age,  disability,  etc.)  and thus  instilling a  culture of  diversity,  equal 
opportunities, equity, inclusion and non-discrimination.

(cid:127) Extend the diversity, equity and inclusion strategy across the entire value chain.

(cid:127) Partner  up  with  official  organisations,  academic  institutions,  stakeholders  and  other  social  agents  in 
campaigns, observatories and projects that will allow the Company to become a benchmark as a social 
agent that helps to create a more diverse society.

(cid:127) Reduce any inequalities that may arise (corporate and wage or digital gaps).

(cid:127) Put mechanisms in place to prevent discriminatory bias.

(cid:127) Support the inclusion of socially excluded and/or vulnerable people within the job market.

Gender equality is a key topic under the new Comprehensive  Diversity Plan and includes the principles of 
equal employment opportunities, the promotion of women to positions of responsibility, equal pay between 
men and women, the promotion of shared family responsibility, the prevention of harassment on moral, sexual 
and gender grounds and the prevention of gender-based violence. Performance in these areas is monitored 
using indicators to measure progress towards achieving stated objectives. 

c)

Talent management 

In 2023, the Company continued to work on the talent management model, an essential part of the People 
and Culture Department’s Operational Plan, which uses a systematic approach to attract, discover, develop, 
train, transform and retain talent and exchange knowledge. The model pursues excellence to ensure that the 
Company remains a national and international benchmark. This is to be achieved through five lines of action:

(cid:127) Attracting, selecting and integrating talent: commitment to the future.

(cid:127)

Identifying talent: engagement.

(cid:127) Professional training and development plans: virtual campus.

(cid:127) Knowledge management: transfer plan.

(cid:127)

Transformational leadership.

Learning is provided through Campus, which serves as a springboard for rolling out the organization's strategy, 
values  and  culture.  It  is  a  meeting  place  and  a  space  for  learning  and  development,  helping  to  manage 
stakeholder knowledge and covering the various areas targeted for learning. 

d) Management-employee relations 

In 2023, the role of the management team as the main channel for internal communication with the teams 
was further consolidated and specific leadership targets were added to improve matters further. 

The Company also designed a  methodology for listening to  its employees by “taking pulses”. This method 
allows the Company to gauge the opinions of various segments on specific and relevant issues that affect the 
day-to-day work of the workforce. For example, employees were asked to assess the implementation of the 
hybrid work model in the Company, which started up in February.

On the subject of collective bargaining, the 1st Collective Bargaining Agreement, which was published in the 
Official State Gazette, was signed, marking an end to the bargaining process that began in 2022.

Following the signing of this agreement, which was unanimously agreed by each negotiating committee, close 
employer-employee  dialogue was  struck  up through the various  committees set up under the terms of  the 
agreements, comprising representatives of the employer and of the employees and which were called upon 
to address working conditions.

e) Occupational health and safety 

Through the engagement and leadership of the management team, the Company promotes best practices in 
safety,  health  and  wellness.  Its  healthy  company  management  model  has  evolved  with  the  new AENOR 
standard  towards  a  healthy  organisation  model  and  is  fully  aligned  with  the  Strategic  Plan,  the  People 
Operational Plan and the 2030 Sustainability Commitment.

This system seeks to provide guidelines, not only for people in the organization to view working conditions in 
a positive light, thereby fostering a  safe and healthy  workplace, but also  so  that the various groups of  the 
wider society (e.g. users, customers, suppliers, families) can share and reap these benefits, thereby giving 
rise to a new wellness- and sustainability-driven leadership strategy. 

Therefore, with the primary aim of building prevention into the Company's processes and culture on the path 
to achieving the “zero accidents” objective, the new 2024-2025 Workplace Safety and Well-being Plan was 
drawn up in 2023. The plan is divided into four main areas of action: culture and leadership, innovation and 
digitalisation, well-being, and collaboration with stakeholders.

f) Work-life balance management
True to its commitment to ensuring a healthy work-life balance, the Company continues to build to a work-life 
balance management model based on continuous improvement. 

Achievement of the objectives set for 2023 came to 80%, with the work-life balance officer playing a key role 
by delivering personalised responses to 100% of the personal situations raised by workers. 

The  work-life  balance  management  model  also  happens  to  be  one  of  the  central  pillars  of  the  Healthy 
Organisation model and the Diversity model, and includes over 70 work-life balance measures and related 
actions.

Excellence

Redeia  has  a  Policy of  Excellence,  which  was  updated  in 2021. It  sets  out the  Company’s principles  and 
commitment to excellence in management, which is focused on the creation of sustainable value that meets 
or  surpasses  the  requirements  and  expectations  of  the  stakeholders  present  within  Redeia’s  ecosystem, 
acting as a lever for achieving truly excellent results both now and down the line.

In  1999,  the  Company  adopted  the  EFQM  (European  Foundation  for  Quality  Management)  excellence 
management model as a tool to improve management, under which external assessments are performed on 
a regular basis. In 2022, Redeia performed an assessment of the Company and Red Eléctrica de España, 
S.A.U. in accordance with the EFQM 2020 model, obtaining a score of above 700 points and earning, in the 
process, the EFQM 700+ Seal of Innovation and Sustainability Excellence. Following this assessment, the 
model will be expanded to cover Redeia’s other business activities.  

In 2023, Redeia earned the Ambassador of European Excellence award from Club de Excelencia en Gestión, 
EFQM’s  main  partner  in  Spain,  for  scoring  more  than  700  points  in  the  latest  EFQM  assessment  and 
demonstrating a firm commitment to excellent, innovative and sustainable management.

Redeia's  commitment  to  excellence  is  evidenced  by  the  external  certifications  awards  from  renowned 
certification entities testifying that the organization implements certifiable management systems successfully 
in carrying on its business. Redeia has quality assurance systems certified under ISO 9001 in place at the 
Company and the main subsidiaries.

10 Disclosures regarding average supplier payment term. Additional 
Provision Three - "Disclosure requirements" under Law 15/2010 of 5 July.

In  accordance  with  the  Spanish Accounting  and Auditing  Institute  (ICAC)  resolution  of  29  January  2016 
regarding disclosures that must be included in the notes to financial statements regarding average supplier 
payment  period  in  commercial  transactions,  as  amended  by  Law  18/2022  of  28  September,  the  average 
supplier payment period in 2023 was 36 days.

The  disclosures  required  by  this  resolution  are  provided  in  note  19  to  the  Company's  2023  financial 
statements.

11 Events after the reporting date

On 3 January 2024, Redeia, through its subsidiary Red Eléctrica Financiaciones, S.A.U., and under the scope 
of the Euro Medium Term Note (EMTN) Programme of the latter, issued 500 million euros of green bonds on 
the euromarket that are secured by Redeia Corporación, S.A. and Red Eléctrica de España, S.A.U.

The proceeds will be used to finance and/or refinance eligible assets under the umbrella of Red Eléctrica de 
España, S.A.U.’s green finance framework.

The notes, which were paid in on 17 January 2024, mature in 10 years and carry an annual coupon of 3.00%; 
they were issued at a price of 99.405%, implying a yield of 3.07%.

12 Dividend policy

Redeia will follow the dividend policy described in its 2021–2025 Strategic Plan, which initially envisioned a 
dividend payment of 1 euro per share until 2022, and a floor of 0.80 euros per share as of 2023. The Group’s 
stronger  financial  situation  —largely  due  to  the  sale  of  the  stake  held  in  Redeia  Infraestructuras  de 
Telecomunicación— allowed it to raise the shareholder return to 1 euro per share in 2023.

Dividend paid in 2023 out of prior-year profit amounted to 539.6 million euros.

The dividend paid  out of  2023 earnings proposed  by  the  Board of  Directors  and  pending approval  by  the 
shareholders at their Annual General Meeting amounts to 1 euro per share.

The dividend will be paid in two instalments – an interim dividend already paid in January 2024 and a final 
dividend halfway through the year once the financial statements have been approved by shareholders at the 
Annual General Meeting.

13 Outlook

As regards the management of the different businesses, the Company, as the Parent of Redeia, will continue 
to undertake its activities, implementing a model encompassing two major lines of action in equal proportion: 
operations subject to market risk which offset the concentration of regulatory risk, and regulated operations 
which offset market risk. Along these lines, it will continue to perform the role of Spanish TSO, helping to make 
the energy transition in Spain a reality; continue to foster connectivity as a leading operator of both fibre optic 
and  satellite  telecommunications  infrastructure;  consolidate  its  international  business;  and  invest  in 
technological acceleration and innovation.

Executing  the  strategy,  underpinned  by  efficiency,  digital  transformation  and  personnel  development,  will 
enable the Redeia  to adapt to the new, stricter regulatory and remuneration environment, and to generate 
more ways of creating value.

The Company will work of guaranteeing electricity supply and connectivity and upholding its commitment to 
maximising  value  for  its  shareholders,  offering  an  attractive  dividend  yield  and  generating  value  through 
efficient  management of  its activities,  weighing up alternatives for growing the business  and maintaining a 
sound capital structure. To do so, it will continue to pursue long-term value creation, promoting a fair ecological 
transition based on sustainability principles and contributing to social and regional cohesion.

The Company continues to make inroads on delivering its 2030 Sustainability Commitment and maximise its 
contribution  to  the  achievement  of  global  targets,  chief  of  which  are  the  United  Nations  Sustainable 
Development  Goals  (SDGs).  It  will  increase  its  social  and  environmental  contributions  across  all  the 
geographical and business areas in which it deploys its infrastructures, maximising the positive impact beyond 
its  investment  projects  and  providing  solutions  to  the  structural  challenges  that  perpetuate  territorial, 
generational, gender and digital inequality.
