Empresa Distribuidora y Comercializadora Norte S.A. (hereinafter “edenor” or “the Company”) is a corporation (sociedad anónima) organized under the laws of the Argentine Republic, with legal address at 6363 Av. Del Libertador Ave - City of Buenos Aires, Argentina, whose shares are listed on Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos S.A. (ByMA) (Argentine Stock Exchange and Securities Market), traded on Mercado Abierto Electrónico S.A. (MAE) (electronic securities and foreign currency trading market), and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

The corporate purpose of edenor is to engage in the distribution and sale of electricity within its concession area. Furthermore, it may provide and sale telecommunication services, as well as assign the use of its facilities for that purpose, subscribe or acquire shares of other distribution companies and invest in companies related to the generation, distribution and sale of energy, whether conventional or renewable, as well as in digitization, artificial intelligence and critical minerals-related projects. In addition, the Company may provide advisory, training, maintenance, consulting, and management services, act as trust agent and serve as trustee in credit transactions related to the generation, distribution and sale of electricity. These transactions may be conducted directly by edenor or through subsidiaries or related companies, both domestically and internationally. For this purpose, the company "Edenor Tech SAU" has been established (Note 7).

History and development of the Company

edenor was organized on July 21, 1992, by Executive Order No. 714/92 in connection with the privatization and concession process of the distribution and sale of electric power carried out by SEGBA.

By means of an International Public Bidding, the PEN awarded 51% of the Company’s capital stock, represented by the Class "A" shares, to the bid made by EASA, the parent company of edenor at that time. The award as well as the transfer contract were approved on August 24, 1992, by Executive Order No. 1,507/92 of the PEN.

On September 1, 1992, EASA took over the operations of edenor.

As a consequence of the share purchase and sale agreement entered into on December 28, 2020 between Pampa Energía S.A. and Empresa de Energía del Cono Sur S.A., all the Class A shares, representing 51% of the Company’s share capital and votes were transferred to the latter. That transaction was approved by means of ENRE Resolution No. 207/2021 dated June 24, 2021. Therefore, Empresa de Energía del Cono Sur S.A. is the parent company of edenor.

The Company’s economic and financial situation

The Company shows an improvement in its economic performance, mainly as a consequence of the recent electricity rate increases. In this regard, the likelihood of periodic rate adjustments and reduction of subsidies in the short term, as well as the ongoing 2025-2029 Tariff Review, will allow for the gradual regularization of the Company’s electricity rate situation and, thereby, of its economic and financial equation, thus ensuring the economic self-sufficiency of the electricity system and giving rise to a foreseeable future.

In particular, the electricity rate adjustments of February 2024 implied an increase in the CPD of 319.2% (Note 2.b), which resulted in an increase of the Company’s gross profit for the current period. Additionally, monthly adjustments of the CPD were provided for from August 2024 until February 2025, 4 % on average. It is worth mentioning that the automatic and monthly adjustments of the CPD that were to take place between May and July 2024 were postponed pursuant to the communications received from the National Economy Ministry and the Energy Secretariat. These pending adjustments are expected to be incorporated into the ongoing Tariff Review process.

Furthermore, the economic, financial, fiscal, pension, tariff, health, social and administrative emergency provided for by Executive Order No. 70/2023 issued by the Executive Branch will continue until December 31, 2025. In this regard, on July 8, 2024, the Official Gazette published Law No. 27,742 -entitled Law of bases and starting points for the freedom of the Argentine people (the “Bases Law”)-, which includes a number of major reforms aimed at overhauling the country’s economic and administrative structures. The main reforms included in this Law are the following:

•  Economic deregulation: The Bases Law introduces broad deregulation measures to reduce government intervention in the economy. This includes simplifying business regulations and reducing bureaucratic obstacles for companies. In this regard, it includes without limitation, the amendment to and derogation of regulations in the following areas: (i) public administration organization; (ii) administrative procedure; (iii) conflict resolution with the Government; (iv) regulations applicable to commercial companies; (v) financial administration regime; (vi) obligations and contracts regime aimed at strengthening the autonomy of the parties’ will, and (vii) promotion of and incentives to large investments.

• Privatization of state-owned companies: The Bases Law provides for the privatization of several state-owned companies, including, among other, Intercargo S.A.U., Agua y Saneamientos Argentinos S.A., Belgrano Cargas y Logística S.A., Operadora Ferroviaria Sociedad del Estado (Trenes Argentinos), Corredores Viales S.A. and Energía Argentina Sociedad Anónima (ENARSA). This measure aims at reducing government spending and increasing efficiency through private management.

• Labor market reforms: The Bases Law introduces changes to labor laws in order to make the labor market more flexible. This includes measures to reduce the cost of hiring and laying off employees, as well as measures to promote employment through more flexible working conditions. The labor-related chapter of the Bases Law provides for the elimination of fines for unregistered employment, a six-month trial period and the setting-up of a severance fund.

• Investment incentives: An Incentive Regime for Large Investments (“RIGI”) is created, which establishes benefits for national and foreign companies that invest in projects “conducive to the prosperity of the country” for an amount equal to or exceeding USD 200 million. On August 23, 2024, the Argentine government published Executive Order No. 749/2024 in the Official Gazette, approving the implementation of the RIGI within the framework of the Bases Law.

• Public sector reforms: The Bases Law includes measures to streamline the public sector, reduce its employment costs and improve the efficiency of government services.

• Decentralization: The Bases Law promotes decentralization by increasing the fiscal and administrative autonomy of provincial governments. This measure aims at promoting regional development and reducing the concentration of power in the central government.

These measures aim at creating a dynamic, efficient and competitive economy in Argentina, although they have faced significant opposition from opposition parties and leaders concerned about potentially negative impacts on social welfare and public services.

Furthermore, the context of volatility and uncertainty continues at the date of issuance of these Consolidated financial statements. At this point in time, neither the development of the reforms proposed by the new administration nor the new measures that could be announced can be predicted. The Company’s Management permanently monitors the development of the variables that affect the Company’s business, in order to define its course of action and identify the potential impacts on its financial and cash position. Within the described context, the Company continues making the investments necessary, both for the efficient operation of the network and for maintaining and even improving the quality of the service.

Therefore, the Company’s Consolidated financial statements must be read in the light of these circumstances.

Notwithstanding the above-described situation, it is worth pointing out that even though in the last few fiscal years the Company recorded negative working capital, as a consequence of the insufficient adjustments of the electricity rate over the last few years, in general terms, the quality of the electricity distribution service has been improved, both in duration and frequency of power cuts. In this regard, the Company is optimistic that the RT process currently underway will allow the Company to operate under a regulatory framework with clear and precise rules and with reasonable electricity rates, which will make it possible to meet the costs associated with both the provision of the service and the need for investments to satisfy the demand, in order to maintain the provision of the public service, object of the concession, in a satisfactory manner in terms of quality and reliability and within a framework of energy supplied in accordance with the MEM’s possibilities. Therefore, these Consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the ongoing concern basis of accounting.

Retroactive restatement of the previously issued financial statements – Deferred tax liability generated by the Property, plant and equipment account

Within the framework of the improvement in the Company’s economic performance, mainly as a consequence of the recent electricity rate increases and the regularization of both the sector and the Company’s economic and financial equation that is expected to happen in the near future, the Company’s management began to carry out different reviews of its processes. In this context, in connection with the preparation of its financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, an error was identified in the determination of the deferred tax liability relating to the Property, plant and equipment that generated an overstatement of the deferred tax liability.

In accordance with current regulations, additions to Property, plant and equipment subsequent to January 1, 2018 may be adjusted for inflation for purposes of calculating depreciation deductions for income tax purposes. However, for the deferred tax calculation, the tax base was considered at historical values, causing a distortion that overstated the deferred tax liability.

Consequently, the original tax values for the 2018-2024 periods were adjusted, thus affecting the methodological comparison that is carried out against the accounting balances in the determination of the deferred tax.

As a result of that which has been previously mentioned, the Company retroactively restated the impacted balances in its previously-issued financial statements, correcting the error detected, with the impacts on the financial statements as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 being as follow:

Statement of Financial Position (abstract)

Equity items of the error correction column are also included in the Statement of Changes in Equity at each year-end.

Statement of Comprehensive Income (abstract)

Profit and loss items of the error correction column are also included in cash flows from operating activities of the Statement of Cash Flows at each year-end.

The term of the concession is 95 years, which may be extended for an additional maximum period of 10 years. The term of the concession is divided into management periods. At the end of each management period, the Class “A” shares representing 51% of edenor‘s share capital, currently held by Empresa de Energía del Cono Sur S.A., must be offered for sale through a public bidding. If the latter makes the highest bid, it will continue to hold the Class “A” shares, and no further disbursements will be necessary. On the contrary, if Empresa de Energía del Cono Sur S.A. is not the highest bidder, then the bidder who makes the highest bid shall pay Empresa de Energía del Cono Sur S.A. the amount of the bid in accordance with the conditions of the public bidding. The proceeds from the sale of the Class “A” shares will be delivered to Empresa de Energía del Cono Sur S.A. after deducting any amounts receivable to which the Grantor of the concession may be entitled.

The Company has the exclusive right to render electric power distribution and sales services within the concession area to all the customers who are not authorized to obtain their power supply from the MEM, thus being obliged to supply all the electric power that may be required in due time and in accordance with the established quality levels. In addition, the Company must allow free access to its facilities to any MEM agents whenever required, under the terms of the Concession. No specific fee must be paid by the Company under the Concession Agreement during the term of the concession.

The Company is subject to the terms and conditions of its Concession Agreement and the provisions of the Regulatory Framework comprised of Federal Laws Nos. 14,772, 15,336 and 24,065, Executive Order No. 714/92 of the PEN, resolutions and regulatory and supplementary regulations issued by the authorities responsible for this matter, with the Company being responsible for the provision of the public service of electricity distribution and sale with a satisfactory quality level, complying for such purpose with the requirements set forth in both the aforementioned agreement and the Regulatory Framework.

Failure to comply with the established guidelines will result in the application of penalties, based on the economic damage suffered by the customer when the service is provided in an unsatisfactory manner, the amounts of which will be determined in accordance with the methodology stipulated in the above-mentioned agreement. The ENRE is the authority in charge of controlling strict compliance with the pre-established guidelines.

As provided for in ENRE Resolution No. 102/2024, provisional electricity rates adjustments were approved on account of the next Electricity Rate Review (RT). This provisional adjustment is equivalent to a 319.2% increase of the CPD. Additionally, periodic adjustments of the CPD were provided for in August (3%), September (3%), October (2.7%), November (6%) and December (5%), 2024, and in January (4%) and February (4%), 2025.

In the framework of the 2025-2029 RT process, the ENRE set forth the criteria to be followed and the schedules of tasks and work plan to be carried out by the ENRE and edenor. On January 7, 2025, by means of ENRE Resolution No. 6/2025, the last schedule of the Electricity Distribution Rate Review (RT) Program was approved, pursuant to which: (i) the Distribution companies must submit the Final Report on January 27, 2025; (ii) the ENRE will call a Public Hearing on January 28, 2025; (iii) the Public Hearing will be held on February 27, 2025; and (iv) the electricity rate schedules will be approved on March 31, 2025.

At the date of issuance of these Consolidated financial statements, the Company has submitted all the required reports, including the projected demand and capital base; the investment plan; the operation expenses, efficiency factor, pass-through mechanism of energy and power prices and VAD adjustment; and the final report with the proposed electricity rate schedule, with objections to the rate of return set by the ENRE, which has been appealed. Furthermore, on February 27, 2025, the mandatory public hearing was held with the participation of the authorities concerned, the Company, different social players and consumers.

Furthermore, with regard to the system of subsidies applied to our users, the Executive Branch provided for the restructuring of the energy subsidy systems of national jurisdiction, in order to ensure a gradual transition towards targeted energy subsidies, from June 1, 2024 until November 30, 2024. This period has been extended by the Energy Secretariat until May 31, 2025 and afterwards until December 31, 2025.

Within the aforementioned transition program, the first reduction step was adopted on May 28, 2024 by means of Executive Order No. 465/2024 of the PEN, which suspended the limits of the impact on the bill caused by the variation of the Salary Variation Coefficient (CVS) (“caps” of 40% and 80% according to the user category under the rate segmentation system).

The second step consisted of the implementation, as from June 1, 2024, of subsidized consumption caps, which, by means of SE Resolution No. 90/2024, were modified for our N2 and N3 users to up to 350kWh/month and 250 kWh/month, respectively. In February 2025, these caps were modified again in order to implement, until December 2025, a plan for reducing the subsidy percentages to N2 and N3 customers, to be applied to the already established caps.

Additionally, on June 26, 2024, by means of Executive Order No. 940/2024 of the Executive Branch and Resolution No. 771/2024 of the Infrastructure and Public Services Ministry, both of the Province of Buenos Aires, and ENRE Resolution No. 437/2024, a new system was established for the users of that province benefited from the “Social Tariff”. In the first place, the universe of persons eligible for the “Social Tariff” is extended to include the users arising from the crosschecking of data through the SINTYS, those incorporated by the ENRE and those comprising Level 2 of the RASE. In the second place, the application of such subsidy will be paid by the province directly to the Distribution Company, rendering invalid the offsetting of this charge against the energy bill issued by CAMMESA. Furthermore, the subsidy amounts available for each category are significantly reduced.

Moreover, the rate of the Tax on the Electricity Service, which is collected by edenor for account and by order of the province and whose proceeds comprise the “Special Fund for the PBA’s Electricity Development”, is reduced from 4% to 0.01%.

Furthermore, on November 19, 2024, Executive Order No. 1023/2024 of the PEN extended until July 9, 2025, the National Energy Sector emergency declared by Executive Order No. 55/2023 of the PEN, with respect to electric power generation, transmission and distribution segments under federal jurisdiction. Additionally, the electricity rate schedules resulting from the electricity rate review that began to be carried out as provided for by section 3 of Executive Order No. 55/2023, will come into effect not later than that date. The administrative control of the ENRE will continue to be assumed by the PEN until the new National Regulatory Authority for the Distribution of Gas and Electricity provided for by the Bases Law is set up, becomes operational and the members comprising the board of directors are appointed.

Finally, on February 6, 2025, by means of Resolution No. 133/2025, the ENRE approves the Company’s electricity rate schedules, which include a gradual reduction in electricity subsidies for the users categorized into low-income level (Level 2) and average-income level (Level 3), as well as for neighborhood and town clubs (CdByP) and public welfare entities, provided for by the SE in its Resolution No. 24/2025. A system will be implemented to equalize the discount percentages applied to the seasonal price of electricity (PEST), with monthly adjustments over the next eleven months, starting on February 1, 2025.

The following resolutions were issued by the SE and the ENRE, in connection with the Company’s electricity rate schedules and the seasonal reference prices (Stabilized Price of Energy and Power Reference Price):

The Company entered into two agreements on the regularization of its debts with CAMMESA for energy purchases, fines and charges accrued through February 2023. The Payment plans liability resulting from the two Agreements signed by and between the Company and CAMMESA, including the financial components accrued, payments made and the offsetting against receivables under the Framework Agreement (Note 2.e), amounts to $ 229,078, and is disclosed in the Other payables account of the Statement of Financial Position, with the Company’s being up to date with the payments of the installments thereof.

The Payment plan for the debts incurred until August 31, 2022 stipulated in the agreement entered into on December 29 of that same year, after the application of the credit recognized by the Federal Government equivalent to five bills of consumption at the average value of 2020, consists of 96 progressively increasing installments at the interest rate in effect in the MEM, reduced by 50%, whose average installment according to the payment schedule is increased by 133% each year until the fifth year, and by 268% from the sixth through the eighth year.

The Payment plan for the debts incurred until February 28, 2023, stipulated in the agreement entered into on July 28 of that same year, consists of 96 monthly and consecutive installments adjusted in accordance with the development of the MWh value in effect. Therefore, as of December 31, 2024, due to the energy price increase mentioned in caption a) of this Note, the debt relating to this Payment plan totals $ 131,490.

Furthermore, the outstanding principal on the debts for the purchase of energy accrued between March 1, 2023 and December 31, 2024 amounts to $ 127,667. As from the maturities taking place on April 1, 2024, the Company’s payments of CAMMESA’s current billing are up to date.

On May 6, 2024, by means of Resolution No. 58/2024, the SE instructed CAMMESA to provide for a new access plan to regularize the amounts owed by distribution agents for the period maturing between February 1 and April 30, 2024 and submit a proposal for entering into agreements for the payment thereof, which at the date of issuance of these Consolidated financial statements has not been implemented.

Finally, in December 2024, CAMMESA's board of directors approved a new payment plan, which is currently subject to the actions of the granting authority to become operational.

On May 10, 2019, edenor, Edesur S.A. and the SE entered into the Agreement on the Regularization of Obligations for the Transfer of Concession Holders to the Local Jurisdictions, whereby, prior to the transfer of the respective concessions to the jurisdictions of the PBA and the CABA, respectively, (i) the existing debts and credits are mutually offset; (ii) a term and modality of payment of the fines payable to users and the Government are agreed-upon, in three and five years, respectively; (iii) settlement of the fines payable to the Government is allowed to be made through investments in specific works to improve the service; and (iv) it is agreed that any legal actions against the Federal Government for damages caused by the freeze on rates since 2017 will be abandoned. The effects of this agreement were recognized in the Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2019.

On January 19, 2021, the Federal Government, the PBA and the CABA entered into a new Agreement according to which the Federal Government retains the capacity as grantor of the concession in connection with the concession agreements (Executive Order No. 292/2021 and SE Resolution No. 16/2021).

On September 21, 2021, the National Ministry of Economy issued ME Resolution No. 590/2021 declaring the Agreement contrary to the public interest, thus paving the way for the filing of a legal action to declare it null and void. It also provided for the suspension of the administrative procedures relating to the fulfilment of the obligations arising from such Agreement.

Without prejudice to the foregoing, in the legal action filed by the Federal Government in order for the Agreement to be declared null and void, the Company moved to have the action dismissed for lack of prosecution. This request was favorably granted on December 13, 2024, with the Agreement, thus, remaining in full force and effect.

In the Second clause of the aforementioned agreement entered into in May 2019, the Company agreed to invest within a term of 5 years, to commence as from the signing of the agreement, an amount equivalent to the total amount of the penalties imposed for failing to comply with the technical service quality and the ENRE’s information requirements. When the commitment assumed has been fulfilled the Company will be permitted to settle the liability relating to those penalties.

As of the date of issuance of these Consolidated financial statements, the Company has complied with the works plan set forth in the agreement and has therefore settled the liability for penalties for an amount of $ 75,400, with an impact on the Statement of Comprehensive Income that amounts to $23,201.

On August 15, 2024, the outstanding portion to be contributed by the Province of Buenos Aires for electricity consumption of 2023 was effectively paid in accordance with CAMMESA’s statement of accounts, for $741. At of the date of issuance of these Consolidated financial statements, the amount to be contributed by the Federal Government, whose crediting and/or offsetting against debts with CAMMESA for electricity consumption of 2023 is still pending, totals $ 352.

With regard to electricity consumption generated in 2024, the ENRE has been informed for validation purposes of the credits against the Federal Government and the Province of Buenos Aires for $ 2,617 million and $ 4,378 million, respectively.

Furthermore, the Company requested that the SE and the Infrastructure Ministry of the Province of Buenos Aires initiate the administrative procedures in order to formalize the Framework Agreement’s regime in effect for the 2024-2025 period. This request was reiterated on October 29, 2024. As of the date of issuance of these Consolidated Financial Statements, the Agreement has not been formalized.

edenor had signed agreements on the collection of the street lighting fee through the electric bill (“SLF Agreements”) with several municipalities of the concession area. These agreements had been duly approved by the ENRE.

On September 10, 2024, the Industry and Commerce Secretariat of the Economy Ministry issued ME Resolution No. 267/2024, pursuant to which Section 3 of Law No. 24,240 was amended, providing that the information related to the concepts included in the bills/invoices issued by the providers of goods and services in the framework of consumer relations shall solely and exclusively refer to the good or service specifically contracted by the consumer and supplied by the provider, and may not include any amounts or concepts unrelated to such good or service, without prejudice to any other general information that should be included in the issued document, in accordance with the applicable regulation. All this under the penalty of being subject to fines.

Subsequently, and based on the Resolution mentioned in the preceding paragraph, the ENRE issued Resolution No. 708/2024, pursuant to which all the acts performed by a governmental authority approving the collection agreements with the municipalities were repealed, thus rendering compliance with the purpose of those agreements impossible. This situation has been notified to the relevant Municipalities by a reliable means.

Accordingly, the Company has no longer provided the service in question. However, several Municipalities have decided to apply for (Law No. 16,986) and have been granted provisional measures that have suspended the application of ME Resolution No. 267/2024 and have reinstated the obligation to continue providing the street lighting fee collection service.

These Municipalities are those of the localities of San Martín, Tigre, Ituzaingó, Hurlingham, Moreno, Gral. Rodríguez, Las Heras, Pilar, Escobar, Merlo, San Fernando, Morón, José C. Paz and Malvinas Argentinas.

On February 19, 2025, a final decision was rendered on the legal actions concerning the unconstitutionality of Resolutions SIyC No. 267/2024 and ENRE No. 708/2024 brought by the municipalities of San Martín, Tigre, Ituzaingó, Moreno, Gral. Rodríguez, José C. Paz and Hurlingham, with the action for the protection of a constitutional right (amparo) filed by each of them being rejected on the merits. Nevertheless, the ruling temporarily provided for the non-applicability of the aforementioned resolutions, for a term of 90 days to commence from the service of notice.

The ENRE is empowered to control the quality levels of the technical product and service, the commercial service and the compliance with public safety regulations, as provided for in the Concession Agreement. If the Distribution Company fails to comply with the obligations assumed, the ENRE may apply the penalties stipulated in the aforementioned Agreement.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company has recognized in its Consolidated financial statements the penalties accrued, whether imposed or not yet issued by the ENRE, relating to the control periods elapsed as of those dates, following the criteria and estimates available, which may differ from the actual ones.

Furthermore, ENRE Resolution No. 63/17, as amended and supplemented, has set out the control procedures, the service quality assessment methodologies, and the penalty system, applicable as from February 1, 2017, for the 2017–2024 period.

In accordance with the provisions of Sub-Appendix XVI to the referred to Resolution, the Company is required to submit in a term of sixty calendar days the calculation of global indicators, interruptions for which force majeure had been alleged, the calculation of individual indicators, and will determine the related discounts, crediting the amounts thereof within ten business days. In turn, the ENRE will examine the information submitted by the Company, and in the event that the crediting of such discounts were not verified will impose a fine, payable to the Federal Government, equivalent to twice the value that should have been recorded. The referred to Sub-Appendix provides for a similar treatment for the analysis of product quality and commercial service quality. With regard to Public Safety, a penalty is imposed on the existence of facilities that due to their condition pose a risk to public safety; to define them ENRE Resolution No. 421/11 provided a list of those situations to be regarded as anomalous.

The penalty system provides that penalties are updated in accordance with the variation of the Distributor’s CPD or by the energy tariff average price, as the case may be. Furthermore, whom the penalty amounts will be payable/credited to varies between the affected users, total active users or the administration, depending on each case and as defined by the regulator.

By means of Resolution No. 15/2021, the ENRE approved the new methodology for crediting and distributing the penalties payable to all the Active Users and the modality of crediting penalties to the Solidarity Account for Users in Vulnerable Situations, as well as the manner in which edenor must produce that information and send it to the ENRE

Furthermore, there exist certain penalties related to the quality of the information and the quality of the technical service, the penalty procedure of which is being challenged by the Company due to the fact that it applies retroactively to time-barred periods and has calculation defects in relation to the applicable regulations.

The effects of the resolutions detailed in this note have been quantified by the Company and recognized as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, which does not imply the Company’s consent to the applied criteria.

The Bylaws provide that Class “A” shareholders may transfer their shares only with the prior approval of the ENRE. The ENRE must communicate its decision within ninety days upon submission of the request for such approval, otherwise the transfer will be deemed approved.

Furthermore, Caja de Valores S.A. (the Public Register Office), which keeps the Share Register of the shares, is entitled (as stated in the Bylaws) to reject such entries which, at its criterion, do not comply with the rules for the transfer of common shares included in (i) the Business Organizations Law, (ii) the Concession Agreement and (iii) the Bylaws.

In addition, the Class “A” shares will be pledged during the entire term of the concession as collateral to secure the performance of the obligations assumed under the Concession Agreement.

In connection with the issuance of Corporate Notes, during the term thereof, Empresa de Energía del Cono Sur S.A. is required to be the beneficial owner and owner of record of not less than 51% of the Company’s issued, voting and outstanding shares, otherwise the maturity of principal of the corporate notes could be accelerated.

The Consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 have been prepared in accordance with IFRS issued by the IASB and IFRIC interpretations, which have been adopted and incorporated by the CNV. The Consolidated financial statements were approved for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on March 7, 2025.

By means of General Resolution No. 622/2013, the CNV provided for the application of Technical Resolution No. 26 of the FACPCE, which adopts the IFRS issued by the IASB, for those entities that are included in the public offering system of Law No. 17,811, as amended, whether on account of their capital or their corporate notes, or have requested authorization to be included in the aforementioned system.

Comparative information

The balances as of December 31, 2023, disclosed in these Consolidated financial statements for comparative purposes, arise as a result of restating the Consolidated financial statements as of that date to the purchasing power of the currency at December 31, 2024. This, as a consequence of the restatement of the financial information described hereunder. Furthermore, certain amounts of the Consolidated financial statements presented on a comparative basis have been reclassified in order to maintain consistency of presentation with the amounts of the reporting year.

Restatement of financial information

The Consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024, including the figures relating to the previous year, have been stated in terms of the measuring unit current at December 31, 2024, in accordance with IAS 29 “Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies”. As a result thereof, the financial statements are stated in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting year.

The inflation rate applied for the fiscal year commenced January 1, 2024 and ended December 31, 2024, based on that indicated in the preceding paragraph, was 117.8%.

According to IAS 29, the restatement of financial statements is necessary when the functional currency of an entity is that of a hyperinflationary economy. To define a state of hyperinflation, IAS 29 provides a set of guidelines, including but not limited to the following, which consist of (i) analyzing the behavior of population, prices, interest rates and wages faced with the development of price indexes and the loss of the currency’s purchasing power, and (ii) as a quantitative feature, which, in practice, is the mostly considered condition, verifying whether the cumulative inflation rate over three years approaches or exceeds 100%.

Consequently, the Argentine economy should be regarded as highly inflationary as from July 1, 2018. The standard states that the adjustment will be resumed from the date on which it was last made, February 2003. Moreover, on July 24, 2018, the FACPCE issued a communication confirming that which has been previously mentioned. Additionally, it should be taken into account that on December 4, 2018, the Official Gazette published Law No. 27,468 pursuant to which the provisions of Executive Order No. 664/2003 of the PEN, which did not allow for the filing of inflation-adjusted financial statements, are no longer in effect. This regulation states that the provisions of section 62 of Business Organizations Law No. 19,550 -preparation of financial statements to reflect the effects of inflation- will continue to apply, thus reinstating the adjustment for inflation. On December 28, 2018, the CNV, reaffirming the provisions of Law No. 27,468, published Resolution No. 777/18 stating that issuing companies shall apply the restatement method of financial statements to reflect the effects of inflation in conformity with IAS 29.

In order to not only assess the aforementioned quantitative condition but also restate the financial statements, the CNV has stated that the series of indexes to be used for the application of IAS 29 is that determined by the FACPCE. That series of indexes combines the CPI published by the INDEC from January 2017 (base month: December 2016) with the WPI published by the INDEC through that date, computing for the months of November and December 2015 -in respect of which there is no available information from the INDEC on the development of the WPI-, the variation recorded in the CPI of the City of Buenos Aires.

Taking into consideration the above-mentioned index, in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the inflation rate amounted to 117.8%, 211.4%, 94.8%, 50.9% and 36.1%, respectively.

The effects of the application of IAS 29 are summarized below:

Restatement of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position

Restatement of the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income

Restatement of the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity

Restatement of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows

IAS 29 requires all the items of this Statement to be restated in terms of the measuring unit current at the closing date of the reporting year.

The monetary gain or loss generated by cash and cash equivalents is presented in the statement of cash flows separately from cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as a specific item of the reconciliation between cash and cash equivalents at the beginning and end of the year.

The Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements include the financial information of both the Company and Edenor Tech SAU. For the presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements, the full consolidation method has been applied to Edenor Tech SAU, following the procedure set forth in IFRS 10.

In the Consolidated Financial Statements, the carrying amount of the parent’s investment and its share in the profit or loss and cash flows are replaced with the total assets, liabilities, profit or loss and cash flows of the subsidiary, separately reflecting non-controlling interests.

Intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows are eliminated on consolidation. The gains or losses resulting from intragroup transactions that are recognized in assets are eliminated in full.

The non-controlling interests, presented within equity, represent the portion of the subsidiaries’ profit or loss and net assets that are not owned by edenor. The Company attributes the subsidiaries’ profit or loss and other comprehensive income to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests on the basis of their respective ownership interests.

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Company has control. Control is achieved when the investor is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee Specifically, an investor has control over an investee if and only if the investor has:

The investor will reassess whether or not it has control over the investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the previously described elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the investor obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the investor loses control of the subsidiary. The assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the investor gains control until the date when the investor ceases to control the subsidiary.

For the consolidation of the companies over which control is exercised, the latest financial statements available at the end of the reporting year have been used, taking into consideration the significant operations and events that have occurred after the reporting year and the transactions between the Company and the subsidiaries that may have affected the latter’s equity. Furthermore, where necessary, the accounting principles and criteria used by the subsidiaries have been brought into line with those of edenor in order to present the consolidated financial statements on the basis of uniform valuation and presentation standards (Note 7).

The main accounting policies used in the preparation of these Consolidated financial statements are detailed below.

The Company has first applied the following standards and/or amendments as from January 1, 2024:

- IAS 1 “Presentation of financial statements”, amended in January and July 2020, February 2021 and October 2022. It incorporates amendments to the classification of liabilities as current or non-current.

- IFRS 16 “Leases”, amended in September 2022. It clarifies how a seller-lessee subsequently measures sale and leaseback transactions that satisfy the requirements in IFRS 15 to be accounted for as a sale.

- IAS 7 “Statement of Cash Flows” and IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures”, amended in May 2023. The amendments add disclosure requirements within existing disclosures that ask entities to provide quantitative and qualitative information about supplier finance arrangements.

- IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards, amended in June 2023. IFRS S1 sets out overall requirements in order for an entity to disclose information about its sustainability-related risks and opportunities that is useful to the users of general purpose financial reports in making decisions relating to providing resources to the entity. IFRS S2 sets out the requirements for identifying, measuring and disclosing information about climate-related risks and opportunities that is useful to the users of general purpose financial reports in making decisions relating to providing resources to the entity.

There are no new IFRS or IFRIC applicable as from this period that have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated financial statements.

New accounting standards, amendments and interpretations issued by the IASB that are not yet effective and have not been early adopted by the Company

- IFRS 18 “Presentation and disclosure in financial statements”, issued in April 2024. It includes new requirements for all entities applying IFRS for the presentation and disclosure of information in financial statements. It introduces three defined categories of income and expenses (operating, investing and financing) that modify the structure of the statement of profit or loss, and requires companies to present new defined subtotals, including operating profit or loss, in order to analyze the companies’ financial performance and facilitate comparison between companies. The standard requires companies to disclose explanations of those company-specific measures that are related to the statement of profit or loss, referred to as management-defined performance measures. It provides enhanced guidance on how to organize information and whether to provide it in the primary financial statements or in the notes. It requires that companies provide more transparency about operating expenses. The management-defined performance measures, as defined by IFRS 18, consist of measures that are subtotals of income and expenses. IFRS 18 does not require companies to provide management-defined performance measures but does require companies to explain them if they are provided.

IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 “Presentation of financial statements” but carries forward many requirements from IAS 1 unchanged. IFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning as from January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. In this regard, the Company is currently assessing the impact of IFRS 18 and estimates that there will be significant changes in the disclosure of the Comprehensive Statement of Income and its related notes.

- IFRS 19 “Subsidiaries without public accountability: Disclosures”, issued in May 2024. It specifies reduced disclosure requirements that an eligible entity is permitted to apply instead of the disclosure requirements in other IFRS. IFRS 19 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning as from January 1, 2027, earlier application permitted.

- IAS 21 “The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates”, amended in August 2023. Guidelines are included in order to specify when a currency is interchangeable and how to determine the exchange rate to apply when it is not. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning as from January 1, 2025.

- IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures” and IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”, amended in May 2024. The amendments address matters identified during the post-implementation review of the classification and measurement requirements of financial instruments. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning as from January 1, 2026.

- Annual improvements to IFRS – Volume 11, issued in July 2024. It contains amendments to IFRS 1 “First-time adoption of IFRS”, IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures”, IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”, IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements” and IAS 7 “Statement of Cash Flows”. These amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning as from January 1, 2026.

Property, plant and equipment, except for works in progress, is valued at acquisition cost restated to reflect the effects of inflation, net of accumulated depreciation and recognized impairment losses. Depreciation has been calculated by applying the straight-line method over the remaining useful life of the assets, which was determined on the basis of engineering studies.

Subsequent costs (major maintenance and reconstruction costs) are either included in the value of the assets or recognized as a Consolidated asset, only if it is probable that the future benefits associated with the assets will flow to the Company, being it possible as well that the costs of the assets may be measured reliably and the investment will improve the condition of the asset beyond its original state. The other maintenance and repair expenses are recognized in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred.

In accordance with the Concession Agreement, the Company may not pledge the assets used in the provision of the public service nor grant any other security interest thereon in favor of third parties, without prejudice to the Company’s right to freely dispose of those assets which in the future may become inadequate or unnecessary for such purpose. This prohibition does not apply in the case of security interests granted over an asset at the time of its acquisition and/or construction as collateral for payment of the purchase and/or installation price.

The residual value and the remaining useful lives of the assets are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each fiscal year (reporting period).

Land is not depreciated.

Facilities in service: between 30 and 50 years

Furniture, tools and equipment: between 5 and 20 years

Construction in process is valued based on the degree of completion and is recorded at cost restated to reflect the effects of inflation less any impairment loss, if applicable. Cost includes expenses attributable to the construction, when they are part of the cost incurred for the purposes of acquisition, construction or production of property, plant and equipment that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use. These assets begin to be depreciated when they are in economic conditions of use.

Gains and losses on the sale of property, plant and equipment are calculated by comparing the price collected with the carrying amount of the asset, and are recognized within Other operating expense or Other operating income in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

The Company considers three alternative probability-weighted scenarios and analyzes the recoverability of its long-lived assets as described in Critical accounting estimates and judgments.

The valuation of property, plant and equipment, taken as a whole, does not exceed its recoverable value, which is measured as the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell at the end of the year (Note 6.c).

The main conceptual definitions are as follow:

The Company accounts for its investment in joint ventures in accordance with the equity method. Under this method, the interest is initially recognized at cost and subsequently adjusted by recognizing the Company’s share in the profit or loss obtained by the joint venture, after acquisition date. The Company recognizes in profit or loss its share of the joint venture’s profit or loss and in other comprehensive income its share of the joint venture’s other comprehensive income.

When the Company carries out transactions in the joint ventures, the unrealized gains and losses are eliminated in accordance with the percentage interest held by the Company in the jointly controlled entity.

The joint ventures’ accounting policies have been modified and adapted, if applicable, to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company.

Furthermore, taking into account that the interests in joint ventures are not regarded as significant balances, the disclosures required under IFRS 12 have not been made.

In accordance with IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company has classified the most relevant contracts with customers as detailed herein below:

The contracts with customers for the provision of the electricity distribution service and other services (Note 9) are recognized when each and every one of the following conditions is met:

According to IFRS 15, revenue is recognized when the customer obtains control of the service or product, in this case the electricity supply. Furthermore, the incremental costs of obtaining the contracts with customers are recognized as an asset, if the Company expects to recover those costs.

Revenue from sales is measured at the fair value of the consideration collected or to be collected, taking into account the estimated amount of any discount, thus determining the net amounts.

Revenue from the electricity supplied by the Company to low-income areas and shantytowns is recognized to the extent that a renewal of the Framework Agreement is formalized for the period in which the service was rendered (Note 2.d).

Revenue from operations is recognized on an accrual basis and derives mainly from electricity distribution. Such revenue includes electricity supplied, whether billed or unbilled, at the end of each year, which has been valued on the basis of applicable electricity rates.

The Company also recognizes revenue from other concepts included in distribution services, such as new connections, reconnections, rights of use on poles, transmission of electricity to other distribution companies, inasmuch as the services are provided on the basis of the price established in each contract. Revenue is not adjusted for the effect of the financing components as sales’ payments are not deferred over time, which is consistent with market practice.

Interest income is disclosed separately from revenue from contracts with customers and has been recognized only to the extent that the related asset of the contract (or account receivable) has been recognized in the accounting for a contract with a customer. Interest income is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Entity and the amount of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Interest income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate method. Interest income is recorded in the accounting on a time basis by reference to the principal amount outstanding and the applicable effective rate.

a.        Functional and presentation currency

The information included in the Consolidated financial statements is measured using the Company’s functional currency, which is the currency of the main economic environment in which the Entity operates. The Consolidated financial statements are measured in pesos (legal currency in Argentina), restated to reflect the effects of inflation as indicated in Note 3, which is also the presentation currency.

b.       Transactions and balances

Foreign currency denominated transactions and balances are translated into the functional and presentation currency using the rates of exchange prevailing at the date of the transactions or revaluation, respectively. The gains and losses generated by foreign currency exchange differences resulting from each transaction and from the translation of monetary items valued in foreign currency at the end of the year are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

The foreign currency exchange rates used are the buying (bid price) and selling (offer price) rates for monetary assets and liabilities, respectively, and the specific exchange rate for foreign currency denominated transactions.

The receivables arising from services billed to customers but not collected as well as those arising from services rendered but unbilled at the closing date of each year are recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

The receivables from electricity supplied to low-income areas and shantytowns are recognized, along with revenue, when the Framework Agreement has been renewed for the period in which the service was provided and the Federal or the Provincial Government assumes responsibility for the payment of consumption.

Other receivables are initially recognized at fair value (generally the original billing/settlement amount) and subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method, and when significant, adjusted by the time value of money. The Company records impairment allowances when there is objective evidence that it will not be able to collect all the amounts owed to it in accordance with the original terms of the receivables.

Assigned and held-in-custody assets are measured in accordance with Note 4.8.

The subsidies received from the Government are recognized when the defined works plans are carried out.

The Company’s inventories are materials and supplies to be consumed in the service rendering process. Inventories are valued at acquisition cost restated to reflect the effects of inflation, less recognized impairment losses.

They are valued based on the purchase price, import duties (if applicable), and other taxes (that are not subsequently recovered), and other costs directly attributable to the acquisition of those assets.

Cost is determined by applying the weighted average price (WAP) method.

The Company has classified inventories into current and non-current depending on the period of time in which they are expected to be used, whether for maintenance or capital expenditures. The non-current portion of inventories is disclosed in the “Property, plant and equipment” account.

The valuation of inventories, taken as a whole, does not exceed their recoverable value at the end of each fiscal year.

The Company classifies financial assets into the following categories: those measured at amortized cost and those subsequently measured at fair value. This classification depends on whether the financial asset is an investment in a debt or an equity instrument. In order for a financial asset to be measured at amortized cost, the two conditions described in the following paragraph must be met. All other financial assets are measured at fair value. IFRS 9 requires that all investments in equity instruments be measured at fair value.

a.        Financial assets at amortized cost

Financial assets are measured at amortized cost if the following conditions are met:

b.       Financial assets at fair value

If any of the above-detailed conditions is not met, financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss.

All investments in equity instruments are measured at fair value. For those investments that are not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect at the time of their initial recognition to present the changes in fair value in other comprehensive income. The Company’s decision was to recognize the changes in fair value in profit or loss.

The regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognized on the trade date, i.e. the date on which the Company agrees to acquire or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive the cash flows from the investments have expired or been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the assets.

Financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of those financial assets.

The gains or losses generated by investments in debt instruments that are subsequently measured at fair value and are not part of a hedging transaction are recognized in profit or loss. Those generated by investments in debt instruments that are subsequently measured at amortized cost and are not part of a hedging transaction are recognized in profit or loss when the financial asset is derecognized or impaired and by means of the amortization process using the effective interest rate method.

The Company subsequently measures all the investments in equity instruments at fair value. When it elects to present the changes in fair value in other comprehensive income, such changes cannot be reclassified to profit or loss. Dividends arising from these investments are recognized in profit or loss to the extent that they represent a return on the investment.

The Company reclassifies financial assets if and only if its business model to manage financial assets is changed.

The expected losses, in accordance with calculated coefficients, are detailed in Note 6.a).

At the end of each annual reporting period, the Company assesses whether there is objective evidence that the value of a financial asset or group of financial assets measured at amortized cost is impaired. The value of a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired, and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a “loss event”), and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably measured.

Impairment tests may include evidence that the debtors or group of debtors are undergoing significant financial difficulties, have defaulted on interest or principal payments or made them after they had come due, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization, and when observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in payment terms or in the economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

In the case of financial assets measured at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The asset’s carrying amount is reduced and the amount of the impairment loss is recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

While cash, cash equivalents and financial assets measured at amortized cost are also subject to the impairment requirements of IFRS 9, the identified impairment loss is immaterial.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, and the net amount reported in the Statement of Financial Position, when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts, and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from their acquisition date, with significant low risk of change in value.

Changes in this account have been accounted for in accordance with the relevant legal or statutory regulations and the decisions adopted by the shareholders’ meetings.

a.        Share capital

Share capital represents issued capital, which is comprised of the contributions committed and/or made by the shareholders, represented by shares, including outstanding shares at nominal value, restated to reflect the effects of inflation as indicated in Note 3.

b.       Treasury stock

The Treasury stock account represents the nominal value of the Company’s own shares acquired by the Company, restated to reflect the effects of inflation as indicated in Note 3.

c.        Other comprehensive income (loss)

Represents recognition, at the end of the year, of the actuarial gain (loss) associated with the Company’s employee benefit plans, restated to reflect the effects of inflation as indicated in Note 3.

d.       Retained earnings

Retained earnings are comprised of profits or accumulated losses with no specific appropriation. When positive, they may be distributed, if so decided by the Shareholders’ Meeting, to the extent that they are not subject to legal restrictions. Retained earnings, where applicable, are comprised of the amounts transferred from other comprehensive income and prior year adjustments due to the application of accounting standards, restated to reflect the effects of inflation as indicated in Note 3.

Pursuant to Section 27 Part I Chapter I of the CNV’s Regulations, the Shareholders in the Meetings at which they should decide upon the approval of Consolidated financial statements in which the Unappropriated retained earnings account has a significant negative balance that requires the application, as appropriate, of sections 94 -sub-section 5-, 96 or 206 of the Business Organizations Law, or, quite to the contrary, a positive balance, must adopt an express resolution as to the allocation of such balance (taking into consideration for calculation purposes the fiscal year’s results as well as its retained earnings/accumulated deficit), whether to dividend distribution, capitalization, setting up of reserves or a combination of these. The Company Shareholders’ Meetings have complied with the above-mentioned requirement.

Trade payables are payment obligations with suppliers for the purchase of goods and services in the ordinary course of business. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities if payments fall due within one year or in a shorter period of time. Otherwise, they are classified as non-current liabilities.

Trade payables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

Customer deposits are initially recognized at the amount received and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

In accordance with the Concession Agreement, the Company is allowed to receive customer deposits in the following cases:

The Company has decided not to request customer deposits from residential tariff customers.

Customer deposits may be paid either in cash or through the customer’s bill and accrue monthly interest at a specific rate of BNA for each customer category.

When the conditions for which the Company is allowed to receive customer deposits no longer exist, the customer’s account is credited with the principal amount plus any interest accrued thereon, after deducting, if appropriate, any amount owed by the customer to the Company.

Refundable: The Company receives assets or facilities (or the cash necessary to acquire or build them) from certain customers for services to be provided, based on individual agreements and in the framework of ENRE Resolution No. 215/12 provisions. These contributions are initially recognized as trade payables at fair value with a contra-account in property, plant and equipment, and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

The financial liabilities recorded in Other Payables and the advances for the execution of works are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost.

The recorded liabilities for penalties accrued, whether imposed or not yet issued by the ENRE (Note 2.g), and other provisions are the best estimate of the settlement value of the present obligation in the framework of IAS 37 provisions at the closing date of these Consolidated financial statements.

The balances of ENRE Penalties and Discounts are updated in accordance with the regulatory framework applicable thereto and on the basis of the Company’s estimate of the outcome of the renegotiation process described in Note 2.g.

Borrowings are initially recognized at fair value, less direct costs incurred in the transaction. Subsequently, they are measured at amortized cost; any difference between the funds obtained (net of direct costs incurred in the transaction) and the amount to be paid at maturity is recognized in profit or loss during the term of the borrowings using the effective interest rate method.

Non-refundable customer contributions: The Company receives assets or facilities (or the cash necessary to acquire or build them) for services to be provided, based on individual agreements. The assets received are recognized by the Company as property, plant and equipment with a contra-account in deferred revenue, the accrual of which depends on the nature of the identifiable services, in accordance with the following:

Government grants: The Company receives transfers of resources in return for past or future compliance with certain conditions related to the entity’s operating activities. The grants related to assets are recognized as deferred income items and amortized on a systematic basis over the useful life of the relating asset.

The Company operates several benefit plans. Usually, benefit plans establish the amount of the benefit an employee will receive at the time of his/her retirement, generally based on one or more factors such as age, years of service and salary.

The liability recognized in the Statement of Financial Position in respect of benefit plans is the present value of the benefit plan obligation at the closing date of the year, together with the adjustments for past service costs and actuarial gains or losses. The benefit plan obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries in accordance with the projected unit credit method. The present value of the benefit plan obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using actuarial assumptions about demographic and financial variables that affect the determination of the amount of such benefits. The benefit plans are not funded.

The Company’s accounting policy for benefit plans is as follow:

The Company had a share-based compensation plan under which it received services from some employees in exchange for the Company’s shares. The fair value of the services received is recognized as an operating expense in the “Salaries and social security taxes” line item. The total amount of the referred to expense is determined by reference to the fair value of the shares granted.

When the employees provide the services before the shares are granted, the fair value at the grant date is estimated in order to recognize the relevant result.

Furthermore, taking into account that share-based payments are not considered significant balances, the disclosures required under IFRS 2 have not been made.

The income tax is recognized in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or in equity depending on the items from which it originates.

The Company determines the income tax payable by applying the effective 35% rate, resulting from the application of the tax scale in effect, to the estimated taxable profit.

By means of Law No. 27,630, a change was introduced in the corporate income tax rate, applicable to fiscal years beginning from January 1, 2021. The tax is determined according to the following scale:

The amounts of the detailed scale will be adjusted annually, beginning January 1, 2022, taking into consideration the annual variation of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) provided by the National Institute of Statistics and Census (INDEC). 

Additionally, the deferred tax is recognized, in accordance with the liability method, on the temporary differences arising between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the Statement of Financial Position. However, no deferred tax liability is recognized if such difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill, or from the initial recognition of an asset or liability other than in a business combination, which at the time of the transaction affected neither the accounting nor the taxable profit.

The deferred tax is determined using the effective rate resulting from the application of the tax scale in effect at the closing date of the Consolidated financial statements and which is expected to apply when the deferred tax assets are realized or the deferred tax liabilities are settled.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if the Company has a legally enforceable right to offset recognized amounts and when deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income tax levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are stated at their undiscounted nominal value.

Moreover, in accordance with the provisions of Law No. 27,430, the Company has applied the tax inflation adjustment set forth in Title VI of the Income Tax Law, effective for fiscal years beginning as from January 1, 2018, albeit with a limited scope of application for certain accounts.

The tax inflation adjustment for the first, second and third fiscal year was applicable as from its effective date in the year 2018, if the CPI cumulative variation, calculated from the beginning to the end of each year, exceeded fifty-five percent (55%), thirty percent (30%) and fifteen percent (15%) for fiscal years 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively. Although as of December 31, 2018, the CPI cumulative variation did not exceed the 55% threshold for the application of the tax inflation adjustment in that first fiscal year, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the CPI cumulative variations for the 12 months of each year had amounted to 36.13% and 53.77%, respectively, which exceeded the 15% and 30% thresholds fixed for the third and second transition years of the tax inflation adjustment, and, therefore, the Company recognized the effect of the tax inflation adjustment in the calculation of the current and deferred income tax provision in those fiscal years.

As from fiscal years ended in December 2021, fourth fiscal year since the implementation of the tax inflation adjustment, the threshold for its application is that the cumulative variation of the aforementioned index for the thirty-six months prior to the closing date of the relevant fiscal year be greater than 100%. Furthermore, unlike fiscal years 2019 and 2020, for fiscal year 2021, such adjustment was no longer to be applied with deferrals (over six fiscal years) but rather computed in full in the tax balance sheet for that period.

Furthermore, in accordance with the provisions of Law 27,701 on the 2023 Budget, the deferral in thirds (over three fiscal years) of the tax inflation adjustment is to be retroactively applied to the first and second fiscal years beginning as from January 1, 2022. Such deferral applies to those taxpayers whose investments in the purchase, construction, manufacturing, processing or definitive importation of fixed assets (except for automobiles), during each of the two fiscal periods immediately following the period of the initial one-third computation, are greater than or equal to $ 30,000. Failure to comply with this requirement will result in the loss of the benefit. The Company recognized the effects of the deferral of the tax inflation adjustment in the calculation of the current and deferred income tax provision.

Uncertain tax positions

In determining the current and the deferred income tax expense, the Company takes into consideration the impact of the uncertain tax positions, including whether such positions can result in additional taxes or interest. IFRIC 23 interpretation determines how to apply the recognition and measurement requirements of IAS 12 when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. For such purpose, the Company must assess if the tax authorities will accept an uncertain tax treatment.

If the Company concludes that it is not probable that the treatment will be accepted, it will reflect the effect of the uncertainty in determining the taxable profit, tax loss carryforwards, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates.

The Company estimates that it is entitled to apply the uncertain tax treatment; therefore, it has calculated the tax position taking this treatment into consideration.

In this regard, the Company shall make consistent judgments and estimates for both current income tax and deferred tax. edenor will reassess a judgment or estimate required by this interpretation if the facts and circumstances on which the judgment or estimate was based change or as a result of new information that affects the judgment or estimate applied.

A right-of-use asset and a lease liability are recognized for lease contracts from the date on which the leased asset is available for use, at the present value of the payments to be made over the term of the contract, using the discount rate implicit in the lease contract, if it can be determined, or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.

Subsequent to their initial measurement, leases will be measured at cost less accumulated depreciation, impairment losses, and any adjustment resulting from a new measurement of the lease liability.

Provisions have been recognized in those cases in which the Company is faced with a present obligation, whether legal or constructive, that has arisen as a result of a past event, whose settlement is expected to result in an outflow of resources, and the amount thereof can be estimated reliably.

The amount recognized as provisions is the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting year, taking into account the corresponding risks and uncertainties. When a provision is measured using the estimated cash flow to settle the present obligation, the carrying amount represents the present value of such cash flow. This present value is obtained by applying a pre-tax discount rate that reflects market conditions, the time value of money and the specific risks of the obligation.

The provisions included in liabilities have been recorded to face contingent situations that could result in future payment obligations. To estimate the amount of provisions and the likelihood of an outflow of resources, the opinion of the Company’s legal advisors has been taken into account.

Receivables and payables with related parties are recognized at amortized cost in accordance with the terms agreed upon by the parties involved.

Assets and liabilities are presented as current and non-current in the Statement of Financial Position.

An asset is classified as current when the Company:

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is classified as current when the Company:

All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current assets or liabilities as appropriate.

The Company’s activities and the market in which it operates expose the Company to a number of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, cash flows interest rate risk, fair value interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

The management of the financial risk is part of the Company’s overall policies, which focus on the unpredictability of the financial markets and seek to minimize potential adverse effects on its financial performance. Financial risks are the risks derived from the financial instruments to which the Company is exposed during or at the end of each year. The Company uses derivative instruments to hedge exposure to certain risks whenever it deems appropriate in accordance with its internal risk management policy.

Risk management is controlled by the Finance and Control Division, which identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks. Risk management policies and systems are periodically reviewed so that they can reflect the changes in the market’s conditions and the Company’s activities.

This section includes a description of the main risks and uncertainties that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s strategy, performance, results of operations and financial position.

Currency risk is the risk of fluctuation in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s exposure to currency risk relates to the collection of its revenue in pesos, in conformity with regulated electricity rates that are not indexed in relation to the US dollar, whereas a significant portion of its existing financial debt is denominated in US dollars. Therefore, the Company is exposed to the risk of a loss resulting from a devaluation of the peso. The Company may hedge its currency risk by trying to enter into currency futures. At the date of issuance of these Consolidated financial statements, the Company has not hedged its exposure to the US dollar.

If the Company continued to be unable to effectively hedge all or a significant part of its exposure to currency risk, any devaluation of the peso could significantly increase its debt service burden, which, in turn, could have a substantial adverse effect on its financial and cash position (including its ability to repay its Corporate Notes) and the results of its operations.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s balances in foreign currency are as follow:

The table below shows the Company’s exposure to currency risk resulting from the financial assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency.

The Company estimates that a 10% devaluation of the Argentine peso with respect to each foreign currency, with all other variables held constant, would give rise to the following decrease in the profit (loss) for the year:

The Company’s investments in listed equity instruments are susceptible to market price risk arising from the uncertainties concerning the future value of these instruments. Due to the low significance of the investments in equity instruments in relation to the net asset/liability position, the Company is not significantly exposed to the referred to instruments price risk.

Furthermore, the Company is not exposed to commodity price risk.

It is the risk of fluctuation in the fair value or cash flows of an instrument due to changes in market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk is related mainly to the long-term debt obligations.

Indebtedness at floating rates exposes the Company to interest rate risk on its cash flows. Indebtedness at fixed rates exposes the Company to interest rate risk on the fair value of its liabilities. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, except for both Classes Nos. 4 and 6 Corporate Notes issued by the Company in Argentine pesos, at the private BADLAR floating interest rate plus an annual 3% and 7% fixed margin, respectively (Note 29), and the Payment plan with CAMMESA that is disclosed in the Other payables account (Notes 2.c and 26), all the loans were obtained at fixed interest rates. The Company’s policy is to keep the largest percentage of its indebtedness in instruments that accrue interest at fixed rates.

The Company analyzes its exposure to interest rate risk in a dynamic manner. Several scenarios are simulated taking into account the positions with respect to refinancing, renewal of current positions, alternative financing and hedging. Based on these scenarios, the Company calculates the impact on profit or loss of a specific change in interest rates. In each simulation, the same interest rate fluctuation is used for all the currencies. Scenarios are only simulated for liabilities that represent the most relevant interest-bearing positions.

It is the risk of a financial loss as a consequence of a counterparty’s failure to comply with the obligations assumed in a financial instrument or commercial contract. The Company’s exposure to credit risk results from its operating (particularly from its commercial receivables) and financial activities, including deposits in financial entities and other instruments.

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and financial entities and derivative financial instruments, as well as from credit exposure to customers, including outstanding balances of accounts receivable and committed transactions.

With regard to banks and financial entities, only those with high credit quality are accepted.

With regard to debtors, if there are no independent credit risk ratings, the Finance Department evaluates the debtors’ credit quality, past experience and other factors.

Individual credit limits are set in accordance with the limits set by the Company’s CEO, on the basis of the internal or external ratings approved by the Finance and Control Division.

The Company has different procedures in place to reduce energy losses and allow for the collection of the balances owed by its customers. The Operations and Customer Service Divisions periodically monitor compliance with the above-mentioned procedures.

One of the significant items of delinquent balances is that related to the receivable amounts with Municipalities, in respect of which the Company applies different offsetting mechanisms against municipal taxes it collects in the name and to the order of those government bodies and debt refinancing plans, with the aim of reducing its exposure.

At each fiscal year-end, the Company analyzes whether the recording of an impairment is necessary. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, delinquent trade receivables totaled approximately $ 33,703 and $ 24,727, respectively. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Consolidated financial statements included allowances for $ 11,365 and $ 13,591, respectively.

The inability to collect the amounts receivable in the future could have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and its financial position, which, in turn, could have an adverse effect on the Company’s ability to repay loans, including payment of the Corporate Notes.

The balances of the bills for electricity consumption of T1 (small-demand), T2 (medium-demand) and T3 (large-demand) customers that remain unpaid seven working days after the bills’ first due dates are considered delinquent trade receivables. Additionally, the amounts included in the Framework Agreement are not considered within delinquent balances of the electricity supplied to low-income areas and shantytowns.

The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is based on the book value of each financial asset in the Consolidated financial statements, after deducting the corresponding allowances.

The Company monitors the risk of a deficit in cash flows on a periodical basis. The Finance Department supervises the updated projections of the Company’s liquidity requirements in order to ensure that there is enough cash to meet its operating needs, permanently maintaining sufficient margin for undrawn credit lines so that the Company does not fail to comply with the indebtedness limits or covenants, if applicable, of any line of credit. Such projections give consideration to the Company’s debt financing plans, compliance with covenants, with internal balance sheet financial ratios objectives and, if applicable, with external regulations and legal requirements, such as, restrictions on the use of foreign currency.

Cash surpluses held by the Company and the balances in excess of the amounts required to manage working capital are invested in money market funds and/or time deposits that accrue interest, currency deposits and securities, choosing instruments with appropriate maturities or sufficient liquidity to provide sufficient margin as determined in the aforementioned projections. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s current financial assets at fair value amount to $ 363,351 and $ 179,933, respectively, which are expected to generate immediate cash inflows to manage the liquidity risk.

The table below includes an analysis of the Company’s non-derivative financial liabilities, which have been classified into maturity groupings based on the remaining period between the closing date of the fiscal year and the contractual maturity date. Derivative financial liabilities are included in the analysis if their contractual maturities are essential for an understanding of the timing of the cash flows. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

a.      Related to customers

The Company’s receivables derive primarily from the sale of electricity.

No single customer accounted for more than 10% of sales for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

b.     Related to employees who are union members

As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s employees are members of unions, Sindicato de Luz y Fuerza de Capital Federal (Electric Light and Power Labor Union of the Federal Capital) and Asociación del Personal Superior de Empresas de Energía (Association of Supervisory Personnel of Energy Companies). These employees’ labor cost depends on negotiations between the Company and the unions; a sensitive change in employment conditions generates a significant impact on the Company’s labor costs.

Collective bargaining agreements were entered into in the months of February, March, April, May, June, August, October and December 2024, as a consequence of the inflationary context in which the Argentine economy is immersed. At the date of issuance of the Consolidated financial statements, there is no certainty concerning future collective bargaining agreements.

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue operating as a going concern and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

Consistent with others in the industry, the Company monitors its capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total liabilities (current and non-current) less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as equity, as shown in the Statement of Financial Position, plus net debt.

The gearing ratios at December 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follow:

Pursuant to caption C of Section 37 of the Concession Agreement, the Grantor of the Concession may, without prejudice to other rights to which the Grantor is entitled thereunder, foreclose on the collateral granted by the Company when the cumulative value of the penalties imposed to the Company in the previous one-year period exceeds 20% of its annual billing, net of taxes and fees.

The Company’s Management evaluates the development of this indicator on an annual basis. At the date of issuance of these Consolidated financial statements, there are no events of non-compliance by the Company that could lead to that situation.

The Company has a Security Information and Event Management System in place to access data-based information, mitigating risks at scale with machine learning-based analysis.

Furthermore, there are information security awareness programs addressed to the staff, and a liability insurance that covers the Company against the residual risks and costs associated with cybersecurity events.

The Company classifies the measurements of financial instruments at fair value using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the relevance of the variables used to carry out such measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

· Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

· Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from the prices).

· Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (i.e. unobservable inputs).

The table below shows the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of December 31, 2024 and 2023:

The value of the financial instruments traded in active markets is based on the quoted market prices at the Statement of Financial Position date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are regularly available from a stock exchange, broker, sector-specific institution or regulatory agency, and those prices represent current and regularly occurring market transactions on an arms’ length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Company is the current offer price. These instruments are included in level 1.

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in active markets is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data, where it is available, and rely as little as possible on the Company’s specific estimates. If all the significant variables to determine the fair value of a financial instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

If one or more of the significant variables used to determine fair value are not observable in the market, the financial instrument is included in level 3. There are no financial instruments that are to be included in level 3.

The preparation of the Consolidated financial statements requires the Company’s Management to make estimates and assessments concerning the future, exercise critical judgments and make assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses.

These estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based upon past experience and other factors that are reasonable under the existing circumstances. Future actual results may differ from the estimates and assessments made at the date of preparation of these Consolidated financial statements.

The estimates that have a significant risk of causing adjustments to the amounts of assets and liabilities during the next fiscal year are detailed below:

The allowance for the impairment of accounts receivable is assessed based on the delinquent balance, which comprises all such debt arising from the bills for electricity consumption of T1 (small-demand), T2 (medium-demand), and T3 (large-demand) customers that remain unpaid seven working days after their first due dates. The Company’s Management records an allowance by applying to the delinquent balances of each customer category an uncollectibility rate that is determined according to each customer category, based on the historical comparison of collections made.

Additionally, and faced with temporary and/or exceptional situations, the Company’s Management may redefine the amount of the allowance, specifying and supporting the criteria used in all the cases.

The Company has performed a review of the financial assets it currently measures and classifies at fair value through profit or loss or at amortized cost and has concluded that they meet the conditions to maintain their classification; consequently, the initial adoption affected neither the classification nor the measurement of the Company’s financial assets.

Revenue is recognized on an accrual basis upon delivery to customers, which includes the estimated amount of unbilled distribution of electricity at the end of each year. The accounting policy for the recognition of estimated revenue is considered critical because it depends on the amount of electricity effectively delivered to customers, which is valued on the basis of applicable electricity rates. Unbilled revenue is classified as current trade receivables.

The Company analyzes the recoverability of its long-lived assets on a periodical basis or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the recoverable amount of the long-lived assets, which is measured as the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell at the end of the year, may be impaired.

Due to the new events that occurred in the fiscal year, mainly those mentioned in Notes 1, 2.b. and 2.c., the projections made by the Company concerning the recoverability of its property, plant and equipment have been updated.

The value in use is determined on the basis of projected and discounted cash flows, using discount rates that reflect the time value of money and the specific risks of the assets under consideration.

Cash flows are prepared based on estimates concerning the future performance of significant assumptions that are sensitive to the determination of the recoverable amount, including the following: (i) nature, timing, and modality of the electricity rate increases; (ii) demand for electricity projections; (iii) development of the costs to be incurred; (iv) investment needs in line with the service quality levels required by the regulatory authority, and (v) macroeconomic variables, such as growth rates, inflation rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The other variables have low impact on the calculation and have been estimated by the Company using the best available information.

The Company has made its projections under the assumption that in the next few years it will obtain the long overdue electricity rates adjustments to which it is entitled in accordance with the applicable regulations, using as a basis a Discount rate (WACC) in dollars of 6.22%, translating it into Argentine pesos for the discount in each of the scenarios presented.

However, the Company is not in a position to ensure that the future performance of the assumptions used for making its projections will be in line with that which the control authorities will define, therefore, they could differ significantly from the estimates and assessments made at the date of preparation of these Consolidated financial statements.

In order to consider the estimation risk included in the projections of the aforementioned variables, the Company has taken into consideration three alternative probability-weighted scenarios, which are detailed below:

In all the cases, the treatment of the debt with CAMMESA is as follows: payments under the payment plans agreed with the Federal Government in December 2022 (Note 2.c) are made. The debt generated between September 2023 and March 2024 is settled in accordance with a payment plan consisting of 72 increasing installments.

The Company has assigned to these three scenarios the previously detailed probability of occurrence percentages, based mainly on experience and giving consideration to the long overdue electricity rate adjustment, the current economic and financial situation, and the need to keep the public service, object of the concession, operative.

After having carried out the analysis of recoverability of long-lived assets, as of the date of these Consolidated financial statements, the Company has recorded no additional impairments of property, plant and equipment.

Sensitivity analysis:

The main factors that could result in impairment charges or recoveries in future periods are distortions in the nature, timing, and modality of the electricity rate increases. These factors have been taken into account in the aforementioned weight of scenarios. Due to the uncertainty inherent in these assumptions, the Company estimates that any sensitivity analysis that considers changes in any of them taken individually could lead to significant changes in the determination of the recoverable value.

A degree of judgment is required to determine the income tax provision inasmuch as the Company’s Management has to evaluate, on an ongoing basis, the positions taken in tax returns in respect of situations in which the applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation and, whenever necessary, make provisions based on the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities. When the final tax outcome of these matters differs from the amounts initially recognized, such differences will impact both the income tax and the deferred tax provisions in the fiscal year in which such determination is made.

There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company recognizes liabilities for eventual tax claims based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due in the future.

Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and reduced according to the probability that a sufficient taxable base will be available to allow for the total or partial recovery of these assets. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted. The realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which these temporary differences become deductible. To make this assessment, the Company’s Management takes into consideration the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, the projected future taxable income, the prevailing rates to be applied in each period, and tax planning strategies.

The Company considers its applicable accounting policy for the recognition of ENRE penalties and discounts critical because it depends on penalizable events that are valued on the basis of the Management´s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the date of these Consolidated financial statements. The balances of ENRE penalties and discounts are adjusted in accordance with the regulatory framework applicable thereto and have been estimated based on that which has been described in Note 2.g.

The Company is a party to several complaints, lawsuits and other legal proceedings, including customer claims, in which a third party is seeking payment for alleged damages, reimbursement for losses or compensation. The Company’s potential liability with respect to such claims, lawsuits and legal proceedings cannot be accurately estimated. The Company’s Management, with the assistance of its legal advisors, periodically analyzes the status of each significant matter and evaluates the Company’s potential financial exposure. If the loss deriving from a complaint or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, a provision is recorded.

Provisions for contingent losses represent a reasonable estimate of the losses that will be incurred, based on the information available to Management at the date of the Consolidated financial statements preparation, taking into account the Company’s litigation and settlement strategies. These estimates are mainly made by Management. However, if the Management’s estimates proved wrong, the current provisions could be inadequate and result in a charge to profits that could have a material effect on the Statements of Financial Position, Comprehensive Income, Changes in Equity and Cash Flows.

Edenor Tech SAU

Edenor Tech SAU is a corporation (sociedad anónima) organized under Argentine laws, with legal domicile at 6363 Av. Del Libertador Ave. – City of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Edenor Tech SAU was organized on July 23, 2024, through the contribution of 100,000,000 shares subscribed and paid-in in cash by edenor.

The corporate purpose of Edenor Tech S.A.U. is to engage in the sale, storage, import and export of renewable and conventional energy, as well as critical minerals such as copper, lithium and gold.

The joint ventures in which the Group holds an interest as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, valued in accordance with the equity method of accounting of IAS 28 are as follow:

The Company has contingencies and is a party to lawsuits that arise from labor, civil and commercial complaints that relate to atomized legal actions for individual non-significant amounts, which in the Company’s opinion are likely to result in an outflow of resources, and for which a provision in the amount of $ 29,595 has been recorded as of December 31, 2024.

Furthermore, there are significant judicial processes whose outcome, depending on the evidence produced in the cases and based on the legal advisors’ assessment, is uncertain. These judicial processes are detailed below:

- Legal action brought by Consumidores Financieros Asociación Civil Para Su Defensa (13563/2009)

In March 2010, Consumidores Financieros Asociación Civil Para Su Defensa (“CFD”) brought a class action against the Company and Edesur in National Court of Original Jurisdiction in Federal Administrative Matters No. 2, Clerk’s Office No. 3, seeking the reimbursement of: (i) interest applicable to the payment of energy purchased from the MEM, transferred to customers; (ii) the Value Added Tax (VAT) percentage on that interest, calculated on a taxable base that is allegedly contrary to the Consumer Protection Law; and (iii) the late payment charges calculated at the lending rate published by Banco de la Nación Argentina.

On April 22, 2010, the Company answered the complaint, filing a motion to dismiss for lack of standing, requesting, at such opportunity, that a summons be served upon the Federal Government, the AFIP and the ENRE as third-party defendants.

Prior to the time allowed to produce evidence, the Tax authorities were ordered to conduct a review of the proceedings in order to issue an opinion on the motion to dismiss for lack of standing filed by edenor. After the proceedings were sent back to the court, the motion was rejected. At the time, the Company filed an appeal against such denial.

In 2020, evidence was offered and arguments were submitted, with the Company’s invoking lack of standing and the termination of the action by lapse of time. The rendering of a decision on the motions filed by the Company has been deferred and will be considered when final judgment is rendered. The action brought by ADDUC (which is detailed below) will be considered together with these actions.

At the date of issuance of these Consolidated financial statements, this case is pending resolution.

- Legal action brought by Asociación de Defensa de Derechos de Usuarios y Consumidores - ADDUC

On October 21, 2011, Asociación de Defensa de Derechos de Usuarios y Consumidores (“ADDUC”) brought a class action against the Company requesting: (i) that the Company be ordered to reduce or mitigate the default or late payment interest rates charged to customers; (ii) that the pacts or accords that would have stipulated the interest rates that the Company applies to its customers, as well as the administrative resolutions based on which it justifies the collection of interest be declared non-applicable; and (iii) that interest thus collected be reimbursed.

On April 8, 2014, the Court admitted the motion to dismiss due to the fact that the claims at issue were being litigated in another lawsuit, and ordered that the proceedings be sent to the Court hearing the case entitled “Consumidores Financieros Asociación Civil vs Edesur and Other defendants, for breach of contract”.

Prior to the time allowed to provide evidence, the Tax authorities were ordered to conduct a review of the proceedings in order to issue an opinion on the motion to dismiss for lack of standing filed by the Company, which was rejected.

The Company filed an appeal, which, on October 16, 2020, the National Court of Appeals in Federal Administrative Matters rejected, confirming the decision of the court of original jurisdiction. The case has been brought to trial.

At the date of issuance of these Consolidated financial statements, this case is pending resolution.

- Legal action brought by Consumidores Financieros Asociación Civil para su Defensa (9119/2022)

On May 4, 2021, CFD brought a class action against the Company in the Court having jurisdiction in Administrative and Tax Matters of the City of Buenos Aires, Clerk’s Office No. 3 of the Judicial Management Office in Consumer Relations, claiming damages allegedly caused by the Company to customers by virtue of the Agreement on the Regularization of Payment Obligations entered into in 2019 by the Company, the Energy Secretariat and the Electric Power Market and Renewable Resources Secretariat, and claiming the reinstatement of the penalties set forth therein, plus interest, loss of profit or opportunity and punitive damages.

The Company answered the complaint and filed a motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction of the local courts. The court admitted the motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction and, as a consequence thereof, on January 6, 2022, sent the proceedings to the Court having jurisdiction in Civil and Commercial Federal Matters No. 5 – Clerk’s Office No. 9. At present, the case has been brought to trial. The Company’s management believes there exist reasonable grounds to believe that edenor should prevail in this case.

- Legal action brought by the Office of the Ombudsman of the City of Buenos Aires (Court record 30815/2023)

On April 4, 2023, the Ombudsman of the City of Buenos Aires filed a complaint against the Company and Edesur in Court of Original Jurisdiction in Administrative, Tax and Consumer Relations Matters of the City of Buenos Aires No. 25, sole Clerk’s Office, claiming punitive damages adducing deficiency in the information about service interruptions, and requesting the granting of a precautionary measure consisting of the setting up of a workgroup to implement a communication system.

The Company filed an appeal against the precautionary measure, answered the complaint and filed a motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction of the local courts. On February 27, 2024, the court admitted the motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction. The Company’s management believes there exist reasonable grounds to believe that edenor should prevail in this case.

- Legal action brought by Asociación por la Defensa de Usuarios y Consumidores (6818/2017).

In October 2017, ADUC filed a complaint against the Company in Court of Original Jurisdiction in Civil and Commercial Federal Matters No. 2, challenging the regulatory requirements relating to customers who request electricity provision with Tariff 2.

Having the issue being joined, the Company is in the process of answering the complaint. The Company’s management believes there exist reasonable grounds to believe that edenor should prevail in this case.

- Legal action brought by the Municipality of La Matanza and other plaintiffs (34213-2024)

In September 2024, the mayor of La Matanza, jointly with Asociación Civil DEUCO (Defensa usuarios y Consumidores) brought an action against edenor in the Court in Administrative Matters No. 1 of La Matanza, claiming, as the main question at issue, that the electricity rate schedule in effect be declared unconstitutional, and requesting that a precautionary measure be granted, ordering the suspension of electricity rate increases until a predictable electricity rate system with affordable rates is set forth by the Federal Government. On October 1, 2024, the Court determined that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction, ordering that the case be transferred to the Federal Justice, and issued an interim precautionary measure (“medida precautelar”) directing the defendant to refrain from suspending service provision to the users benefiting from the Social Tariff due to non-payment of the electric bill.

The Company filed an appeal against this interim precautionary measure, and the Local (San Martín) Appellate Court in Administrative Matters upheld the appeal, partially reversing the resolution and directing the Company to inform users about the existence of this legal action if and when service provision is suspended. The Company’s management believes there exist reasonable grounds to believe that edenor should prevail in this case.

- Legal action brought by the Municipality of Morón and other plaintiffs (7 4313-2025)

In January 2025, the mayor of Morón jointly with Asociación Civil sin Fines de Lucro Unión Comerciantes Agüero brought an action against edenor in the Court in Administrative Matters No. 1 of Morón, claiming, as the main question at issue, that the electricity rate schedule in effect be declared unconstitutional, and requesting the non-application thereof through the granting of a precautionary measure. On January 15, 2025, the Court determined that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction, ordering that the case be transferred to the Federal Justice, and issued an interim precautionary measure (“medida precautelar”) directing the Company to refrain from suspending service provision to the citizens of Morón district due to non-payment of the electric bill.

The Company filed an appeal against this interim precautionary measure, which is pending resolution. The Company’s management believes there exist reasonable grounds to believe that edenor should prevail in this case.

- Legal action brought by Asociación de Defensa de los Consumidores y Usuarios de la Argentina and other plaintiffs (17284/2024)

In October 2024, ADCUA, jointly with Unión de Consumidores de Argentina, Asociación de Consumidores y Usuarios de la Argentina, and Asociación Protección Consumidores del Mercado Común del Sur, brought an action against edenor, Edesur S.A., Naturgy Ban S.A., the ENRE, the ENERGAS and the National Industry and Commerce Secretariat (SIyC) in Federal Court in Administrative Matters No. 3 claiming, as the main question at issue, compliance by public service providers with Resolution No. 267/24 of the SIyC, which prohibits the collection through the bill of charges unrelated to the services contracted by the user. In this regard, the plaintiffs requested that a precautionary measure be granted ordering the defendants to re-bill customers and comply with Resolution No. 267/24.

The Company entered an appearance and on December 20, 2024, the Court partially rejected the requested precautionary measure, ruling that in the case that Resolution No. 267/24 is not applied due to the existence of precautionary measures, this fact must be included in the bills issued by public service providers. The Company has filed an appeal against this precautionary measure, on which no decision has yet been rendered.

The Company’s management believes there exist reasonable grounds to believe that edenor should prevail in this case.

- Claim of the City of Buenos Aires Tax Authorities (“AGIP”). Assessment Resolution No. 3417/2017

On December 5, 2017, the AGIP claims alleged differences in the contribution that impacts electric power companies. The difference is based on the content of the contribution’s taxable base, which in the AGIP’s opinion, is made from the Company’s monthly income deriving from sales, without admitting the deduction for the sale of energy to railway companies provided for in the federal laws governing the contribution. The main objections made by the AGIP are the following: a) challenged the tax returns for the 2011-2013 tax periods; b) assessed the resulting tax for the 2011-2023 tax periods, plus interest; c) provided that for the income obtained in connection with the activity of “distribution of electricity and sale services” the Company should pay the aforementioned contribution for the referred to fiscal years at the rate of 6%; and (d) imposed fines.

On January 18, 2018, the Company filed a post-judgement motion for reversal, which was rejected on July 4, 2019. Against this denial, the Company filed an appeal before a higher administrative authority (“recurso jerárquico”). To date, the AGIP has issued no resolution in regard to this appeal.

- Federal Administration of Public Revenues (“AFIP”) – Difference in contribution rate to the Single Social Security System (“SUSS”) (executive order 814/2001) for the 12/2011- 11/2019 fiscal periods

The Company, based on the opinion (pronouncements) of its legal advisors in 2011, decided to apply the reduced rate for contributions to the SUSS set forth in section 2, sub-section b) of Executive Order No. 814/2001 as it is a corporation in which the Sustainability Guarantee Fund, managed by the ANSES, holds an interest (Law 26,425, as amended).

In 2021, after the tax audits conducted by the Large Employer Social Security Resources Control Division, three AFIP resolutions fell on the Company claiming the adjustment of the contribution rate and rejecting the inclusion of edenor in section 2, sub-section b) of Executive Order No. 814/2001.

The Company’s position is supported by the three appeals filed against the debt assessments (all of them filed in Courtroom III of the Federal Social Security Court of Appeals) given the nature of the shareholder ANSES-FGS, its significant role in the Board of Directors, the Federal Government’s participation in the Supervisory Committee through the SIGEN, the recognition that minority state-owned corporations are regarded as included among those entitled to the benefit of Executive Order No. 814/2001, inasmuch as this changed as from the enactment of the referred-to Law No. 27,541, as well as the existence of three similar cases with a favorable outcome in the other two courtrooms comprising the Court of Appeals (with such cases having been appealed by the AFIP before the CSJN).

However, based on the enactment of Law No. 27,743 on “Palliative and Relevant Tax Measures”, which provides for an “Exceptional Regularization System of Tax, Custom and Social Security-related Payment Obligations”, regulated by Executive Order No. 608/2024 and implemented by the AFIP by means of General Resolution No. 5525/2024 dated July 16, 2024, the Company has decided to adhere to the payment facilitation plan provided therein and agreed to pay the principal on the amounts claimed by the tax authorities in three monthly installments. Furthermore, it obtained a 70% reduction in interest and fines determined. At present, the amounts owed by the Company have been fully paid.

In accordance with the provisions of Section 3 of the Law on Tax Measures and Section 35 of General Resolution No. 5525/2024 of the AFIP, edenor abandoned the claim and, after the payment of the last installment provided for therein has been made the following proceedings will be deemed terminated: (i) Edenor S.A. VS AFIP, CHALLENGE OF DEBT, Court record 20408/2021 (CI 25,329) (OI No. 1,578,472- for the 12/2011-12/2016 tax periods); (ii) Edenor S.A. VS AFIP, CHALLENGE OF DEBT, Court record 11840/2021 (CI 25,329) (OI No. 1,806,371- for the 01/2017-06/2019 tax periods); and (iii) Edenor S.A. VS AFIP, SOCIAL SECURITY CONTRIBUTIONS (CI 24,920) (OI: 1893337- for the 07/2019-11/2019 tax periods- Court record No.: CSS 053731/2022).

The Company answered the complaint, with the stage for producing evidence nearing completion. The Company’s management believes there exist reasonable grounds to believe that edenor should prevail in this case.

- AFIP’s tax claim for Income Tax, Undocumented outflows and VAT

The AFIP initiated a verification process to assess differences in connection with the VAT, undocumented outflows and the income tax, at the request of the Court hearing the case entitled “García Veronica Elizabeth and other defendants, Fraudulent tax evasion and Violation of law 24,769 – Prosecutor AFIP and other plaintiffs” (Case No. 58258/2017”), for bills issued by certain former suppliers of the Company, considered in such proceedings to be “usinas mixtas” (companies used as real and fake invoice plants).

On April 12, 2024, as a consequence of the analysis of the submitted expert’s report, Federal Court in Criminal Matters of San Martín No. 1 rendered judgment, stating that the investigation is exhausted and that as a result thereof not only the execution of the works and transactions documented in the billing declared in the 2017-2018 period by edenor to the tax collecting agency, but also the existence and operating capacity of both contractors to manage and carry out the works paid by edenor was verified, acquitting the Company, the Company’s former chairman and former Board of Directors members, CYSE S.A., and Fuentes y Asociados S.A. of the criminal charges related to this case. On August 6, 2024, this decision was confirmed by the Appellate Court, ordering the dismissal of the charges against edenor and its directors.

In that framework, a provisional measure was issued, pursuant to which: (i) the Company was ordered to refrain from paying CAMMESA any amounts earmarked for the carrying out of the investments necessary for ensuring the appropriate quality of the electricity service; and (ii) CAMMESA was ordered to refrain, both from judicially claiming payment by the Company for the energy supplied and/or to be supplied in the future to edenor, and from issuing any precautionary measure affecting the latter’s equity, as a result of energy supplied, maintaining the normal and regular dispatch of energy, affecting neither the continuity nor the quality of the public service the distributor must provide to its customers. The court allowed the Company to extend the effects of the provisional measure until February 25, 2025.

- Energy Secretariat vs EDESUR SA and other defendants, Proceeding for the Determination of a Claim

Such declaration requires that the Agreement be declared null and void in court, and, in that framework, on October 24, 2024, the Company was served notice of the complaint pending in the Court having jurisdiction in Federal Administrative Matters No. 8, Clerk’s Office No. 15. At the Company’s request, the court declared the termination of the action by lapse of time. In this regard, it cannot be verified if an appeal has been filed by the Federal Government within the time and under the formalities prescribed by law.
