Net/Net: We reiterate our Buy ratings for Endesa and Enersis, and are updating our estimates and introducing our YE2015
target prices. We believe the market is too focused on the short term and is not considering medium-/long-term positives,
such as new LNG contracts, renewal of contracts at higher prices, positive exposure to the LatAm generation business,
and recovery of distribution business tariff gaps. In terms of valuation, both stocks look attractive, in our view.

 We believe the market is too influenced by short-term headwinds for Endesa. The market has reduced its
medium-term EBITDA estimate (two-year forward estimates) from US$2.5 billion in YE2012 to US$2.2 billion for
YE2014, influenced, in our view, by short-term headwinds (hydrology and halt of Bocamina II). However, we believe
Endesa’s fundamentals have improved in the last year and that fading headwinds should help improve the market’s
outlook, thereby supporting the stock.

 Contract renewal and LNG capacity boost and stabilize earnings. The start-up of 5,650 GWh regulated contracts
(25% total) in Chile during 2014 at a 65% YoY higher price should boost the top line by US$700 million, in our view.
Moreover, in 2015 the auction process for contracts to be renewed in 2022 begins, representing about 56% of the
expected demand in Chile for the next decade. Based on the new price ceiling for tender offers, we expect more
attractive prices. In addition, flexibility brought by Endesa’s competitive LNG supply contract, Bocamina II (coal), and its
hydro capacity should allow it to take advantage of the spot market under all hydro scenarios.

 We believe Bocamina II is a bump in the road. A better outlook for the 2014-15 ice-melting season should help to
protect Endesa’s results from the impact of the absence of Bocamina II (350 MW, coal). Energy in water reservoirs are
48% higher YoY, and regulators’ outlook for this melting season is 48% better than the previous season. In addition, the
recent Supreme Court ruling and agreement with fishermen should allow a restart in 2H15, in our view; and we believe
halt of Bocamina II is not relevant in terms of DCF (between 1-2%).

 Mixed expectations for distribution business. In Brazil, we expect the pass-through to clients of involuntary
exposure to the spot market to offset the tariff revision process. In Colombia we expect weaker results due to tariff
revisions. In Chile, we expect to see a recovery in Chilectra’s results, due to efficiency gains and recovery in demand.

 Enersis gains attention from its controller. According to Enel, its source of growth will be LatAm, where Enersis is its
main investment vehicle. We believe recent changes in Enel with respect to Enersis’s reporting structure and changes in
management confirm the growing importance of Enersis. We expect Enel to continue this process in the medium term
by working on the unlocking of projects, to continue purchasing minorities, or inclusively considering the merger of
Endesa and Enersis, which has a numbers of constraints and for which the approach to minorities would be of significant
importance.

CONSENSUS MISSING BIG PICTURE
We reiterate our positive view on Endesa Chile and Enersis, as we believe the market consensus
is not properly estimating recurring EBITDA of the generation business and is largely ignoring
upside risks on distribution. In our view, Endesa has faced headwinds, mainly related to still-weak
hydrology and the longer-than-expected closure of the Bocamina II facility, which affected quarterly
earnings visibility. However, we see several sources of earnings growth for the coming years, such as:

1. A 22% increase in average regulated prices in Chile due to renewal of contracts, mainly thanks to
high-priced tender offer during 2014.

2. Endesa’s efficient and flexible new LNG capacity after contract renegotiation, which allows it to
take advantage of the spot market under any hydrology scenario.

3. New plants in Colombia adding 545 MW of capacity, with a negative correlation to Chilean
hydrology, which helps reduce overall risks.

4. A number of upside risks that we believe have positive value, such as an improvement in
hydrology, some underutilized assets (Gas Atacama), the value of some international operations
(Colombia and Peru), and our assumption that Bocamina II will likely resume operations,
especially after the recent ruling by the Supreme Court.

5. We believe on the medium-term distribution business results should stabilize, especially in Brazil
where the drought has severely affected the performance of Ampla and Coelce, damaging results
visibility.

GENERATION: TOO MUCH FOCUS IN THE SHORT RUN


At Endesa, we believe short-term headwinds have led the market to forget long-term solid
fundamentals. Since YE2012, medium-/long-term EBITDA estimates, measured by two-year forward
estimates, have dropped by 12% to US$2.2 billion, even when medium/long-term fundamentals have
improved (renegotiation of LNG contracts and incorporation of new regulated clients). We believe this is
an overreaction of the market to nonrecurring impacts (mainly drought and Bocamina II halt) and we
expect the normalization in those estimates to boost the stocks.

We expect EBITDA of Endesa Chile should be at least US$2.5 billion, not the US$2.2 billion
assumed by the consensus. We expect 29% EBITDA growth (in US$) between 2013 and 2016,
reaching US$2.5 billion on the back of (1) start-up of regulated contracts in Chile at a 65% higher average
price, (2) restart of Bocamina II (350 MW, coal), which has been halted since December 2013, (3)
Endesa’s efficient thermal capacity brought by the new LNG contract, (4) recovery of hydrology in Chile,
and (4) start-up of El Quimbo (400 MW) and Salaco(145 MW) hydro project in Colombia. Moreover, if we
do a simple exercise of taking 2013 as a base, extracting all one-off benefits and adding new structural
developments (new regulated contracts and renegotiation of LNG supply) and normalization of hydrology,
we believe we easily can get to a “recurring EBITDA” in-line with our estimates.

HIGHER AVERAGE PRICES IN CHILE

New contracts to boost results. Recently the company has signed a number of new contracts at higher
priced compared to the rest of the contract basis. The average of all contracts started in 2014 is $120
MWh, a 65% increase from average contract prices one year ago, for a total of 25% of all energy
commitments in Chile. As such, we expect average regulated prices of the Chilean operation of Endesa
Chile to increase by 22% in 2013-16 and contracts starting in 2014 to bring more than US$700 million to
the top line and US$300-350 million in EBITDA.

1. In 3Q13, Endesa signed a 3,500-GWh regulated contract for US$129.5 MWh, at the ceiling of the
tender offer, an historically high price as there was no other player with spare efficient capacity.

2. A 750-GWh regulated contract signed at US$112/MWh in September 2014.

3. Start-up of 1,400-GWh regulated contracts that started in in January 2014 at an average price of
US$103 MWh, which comes from 2010 tender offer process.

We might see further increase in average prices. On the back of the reduced availability of efficient
capacity, we have seen a trend of increased prices in regulated auctions. On 3Q14 adjusted prices, the
first contracts signed by Endesa were at US$59/MWh, and the last one, in 2014, was signed at
US$112/MWh. The first contracts will be re-auctioned by 2015-16 (starting supply in 2022), and will likely
to be priced upward, as we do not foresee the entrance of new efficient capacity in the mid-term (apart
from some renewables and Alto Maipo 531 MW, which is almost fully contracted). In our model, we are
assuming contracts to be renewed at US$95-105 MWh, which is in-line with actual government’s goal but
significantly below maximum regulatory price of US$128/MWh. We believe this is a possible upside that
could trigger the stock.

HYDROLOGY: LNG AND CONTRACT STRUCTURE LIMIT DOWNSIDE


Endesa will likely to be a seller to the spot market, even in dry years, which should reduce
downside risk of hydrology. In August 2014, as part of 2013-3 regulated auction process, Endesa
published its estimates on generation versus demand under different scenarios. As shown in Figure 6,
under those estimates, Endesa would be selling between 25% and 2% of its generation on spot, which
contrasts with the buying net spot market position the company had recently, which increased volatility of
its Chilean results. The new LNG contract with British Gas, signed in 3Q13, at a price equivalent to
generating at US$70-85/ MWh, is almost half the previous price and significantly below the LNG price
paid by competitors (some US$110-120/MWh), which allows Endesa to deviate the shipments if it expects
lower needs in the SIC system. That said, in the future, we expect Endesa to move from a strong buyer to
the main net seller in the spot market. We see upside risk here because we are not integrating
possibilities from extra volume granted in the contract (ship to other country).

We are assuming a normal to dry scenario for 2015. For Endesa we are assuming a hydro load factor
for Chile of 42% in 2015, only 2% higher than in 2014E (despite 1H14 had a bigger drag in reservoirs
from 2H13). Moreover, under a long-term scenario we estimate Endesa can generate 13,900 GWh (or
44% load factor) with hydro (enough to supply 61% of total contracts) despite in the legal bases of the last
tender offer Endesa estimates as normal hydrology between 15,700-15,900 GWh. We believe that if
rainfall and reservoirs finally normalize, there could be interesting upside for Endesa, as the market could
start improving the estimates for a “normal” load factor. This could represent above 10% upside for our
target price.

BOCAMINA II: SHOULD RETURN BY 2H15


The stoppage of the coal facility Bocamina II (350 MW, coal) deteriorates earnings visibility, but in
terms of valuations it is only a bump in the road. We are assuming Bocamina II will be back
generating by 3Q15. Although this could affect earnings visibility, the impact is limited in terms of DCF. As
shown in Figure 10, in a dry scenario for 2015, with spot prices averaging US$122 MWh, we estimate that
not having Bocamina II has a negative EBITDA impact of US$206 million (1.6% of valuation), while in a
normal hydro scenario this reaches US$122 million (1% of valuation).

Recent Supreme Court ruling makes us more positive on the plant reopening. In November 2014,
the Supreme Court ruled that Bocamina II can be restarted only after it offers enough guarantees
(checked by the regulator) that it would implement in the short term (1) effective solutions to sea life being
destroyed by power plant cooling systems and (2) the installation of a desulfurizer in Bocamina I. In our
model, we assume the regulator will allow the restart of Bocamina during 3Q15, as soon as it finishes the
desulfurizer and cooling system, and gets approval for the US$184 million investment plans. We also
highlight Endesa reached an economic agreement with local fishermen, which, in our opinion, should help
significantly reduce social pressure on the area.

WE LIKE ENDESA’S EXPOSURE TO ANDEAN REGION

We believe Colombia and Peru offer a solid growth perspective for the coming years, as both countries
have an attractive combination of good economic perspectives, regulatory stability, less environmental
constrains from government, communities and politics to attract investment in the sector. In this sense,
we believe Endesa has the advantage of being a geographically diversified company, providing more
stability to cash flow and less dependence from hydrology.

Colombia: Increasing our estimates for Emgesa. Before the deterioration of hydrology in Chile
Colombian operation (Emgesa) accounted for 20-25% of EBITDA, which we expect to increase to 34%
under normal scenarios for hydrology in all countries, and the start-up of Salaco Chain optimization (145
MW) in 2014 and El Quimbo (400 MW) in 2015. We are increasing our 2016-2019 EBITDA estimate of
Emgesa from a range of US$740-770 million to US$850-900 million, on the back of (1) 9% higher long-
term Monomic (energy + capacity payment) prices, following company guidance and Colombian

8
regulator’s estimates, reaching US$66 MWh in 2016 (US$56 for energy and US$10 for capacity), (2) 4%
increase in long-term hydro generation estimate, reaching 15,200 GWh/year, following company
guidance. Also, we highlight the negative correlation in hydrology between Colombia and Chile, which
helps to stabilize results in extreme hydrological scenarios.

Peru: We believe Curibamba project (192 MW) could start construction in 2015. In early October
2014 Minister of Enery and Mining granted Edegel (Endesa’s vehicle in Peru) the definitive generation
concession for its Curibamna 192 MW project, which consists of two turbines located in rivers Comas and
Uchubamba, with an estimated annual generation of 1,060 GWh/year. According to the last updated
summited by Edegel in Peru, the capex of the projects should reach US$480 million and the construction
period is 50 months. We do not have this project considered in our estimates, as it still has to be
approved by the board of directors of Endesa, which we believe could happen in 2015. The construction
of this project could have an estimated 3-4% impact on our valuations.

DISTRIBUTION BUSINESS: MIX TARIFF REVISIONS
CHILE
Chilectra: We expect a recovery in results for 2014 and 2015. In 2013 and 2014, Enersis distribution
business in Chile (Chilectra) was negatively affected by a 2012 tariff revision and weak volume growth.
However, we expect 2015 to be more positive (EBITDA of 12% YoY) based on higher consumption in the
concession areas and efficiency gains. We see upside risk if the government finally recognizes the
increase into tariff of higher energy costs after the start-up of new contract at higher prices. Although this
should affect EBITDA (is already provisioned), it could have an impact on cash. As a reference, the
Minister of Energy estimated in September 2014 that the update of this component, which has not been
done since November 2012, could imply an increase between 5-8% in client’s tariffs.

BRAZIL
Coelce: Normalization in the sector to offset Coelce tariff revision: We expect results to improve in
2015 despite Coelce’s fourth tariff cycle starts to be applied in April 2015, because (1) exposure to the
spot market has been reduced significantly, reaching 3.66% in 3Q14, (2) government should give back to
Coelce more than R$130 million between April 2015-16 related to the involuntary exposure to spot
market, and (3) in April 2015 Coelce will stop returning money to clients from the delay in last tariff
revision. As an example, in 9M14 we estimate EBTIDA of Coelce should have been about $R562 million,
while both negative effects reduced reported EBITDA it to $R326 million. We estimate EBITDA growth of
11% in 2015, reaching US$191 million. We expect capex to decrease to R$220-250 million in the coming
years as the company is finishing the social connection programs.

Ampla: Situation to get better in 2015. We expect EBITDA to rise by 7% in 2015, reaching US$348
million, following (1) our expectation that starting in April 2015 the Brazilian government will pass through
to tariff about $R130 million accumulated up to 3Q14 from involuntary exposure to the spot market and

10
(2) efficiency gains after +2.6% tariff revision in April 2014 as part of the 2014-18 tariff revision cycle.
Also, we expect Ampla to reduce overall losses from the current 17-18% to 15-16% in 2019.

COLOMBIA
Codensa: 2014 tariff revision process to affect results in 2015. New tariff revision cycle should be
concluded by 4Q14 or 1Q15, which we expect to imply a 2% reduction in WACC, from the current 13.9%.
We estimate that for every 1% reduction in WACC the impact on results is US$33 million. Also, we
believe the regulator could introduce a new methodology regarding commercialization costs, with an extra
negative impact on EBITDA of US$8 million. In the short term, we expect a recovery in results as the
company is gradually passing through to clients the extra cost generated in 1H14 due to the rise in spot
prices.

PERU
Edelnor: 1.2% increase in tariff. During 2014 Enersis distribution concession in Peru (Edelnor) posted
a 1% rise in its tariffs as a result of 2013 tariff revision cycle. Next tariff revision cycle should take place in
2017, where we assume a 3% decline in tariffs. We expect EBITDA to continue growing 8-9% in the
coming years, following the connection of new clients and positive perspectives for GDP growth.

ARGENTINA
Edesur: Results to continue depending on subsidies. The tariffs for final costumers have remained
frozen for the last few years and the government has gradually been recognizing costs for the company.
However, this has not been enough to compensate capex needs for Edesur (Enersis distribution business
in Argentina). On October 2014, the Secretary of Energy issued a new resolution, which gives back some
extra costs between April and August 2014. This will represent a positive impact in Edesur of US$92
million for 4Q14. For a medium-term perspective, although we believe 2015 presidential elections could
bring some positive news for Edesur, we do not expect a recovery in the short term for the distribution
business and we believe the generation business has better perspectives than distribution. We value the
Argentinian distribution business at zero.

ENERSIS GAINS IMPORTANCE FOR ENEL: WHAT IS THE
NEXT STEP?
Enel to simplify structure to improve decision making. During Enel’s (controller of Enersis) 1H14
conference call, the company announced the reorganization of Endesa Spain and Enersis. Enel Energy
Europe (EEE, the vehicle that held 92% of Endesa Spain) made an offer for 60.6% of Enersis, moving the
control of Enersis from Spain to Italy. Although this transaction does not alter our valuations, we believe it
could be potentially beneficial for Enersis, as it will make the structure and reporting simpler and easier to
make decisions to improve the business.

POSSIBLE DISPOSAL OF CAPITAL INCREASE

From the US$2,400 million cash raised in March 2014 capital increase, Enersis has spent 36% in
buying minorities in Edegel and Coelce, and in FX losses. We believe the company may use the
remaining US$1,542 million in buying (1) the remaining 16.4% of Edegel (generation in Peru), which
would require US$320 million at current market prices, (2) 26% of Coelce (distribution in Brazil), in
US$293 at current market prices, which we believe could likely happen after February 2015 when the
regulatory year in Brazil is due and Enersis can set a new price for an eventual tender offer, (3) 24% of
Edelnor (distribution in Peru) for about US$259 million, and (4) 5% of Endesa Chile for US$625 million,
reaching the maximum level permitted by the company’s statute.

We do not expect Enersis to give back cash via dividends. As part of the negotiation with Chilean
Pension Funds for 2013 capital increase, Enersis’ controller made the commitment of not delivering
extraordinary dividends for at least two years after the transaction, which expires in March 2015.
However, in-line with company guidance, we are assuming a dividend policy for Enersis of 50% in the
coming years. We believe delivering extraordinary dividends would face tough opposition from minority
shareholders, as the commitment of the controller was to use the cash from the equity raise.

POSSIBILITY OF ENERSIS AND ENDESA MERGER

Enel unveils new structure and updates strategy. Following the control change announcement of
Enersis from Spain to Italy, Enersis updated the strategy for the company with the main purpose of the
new structure to create a simpler organization so as to take quicker and better decisions and improve the
capex allocation and opex efficiencies. In March 2015, Enel will launch a new mid-term plan and provide
the details on this new structure: (1) cost-cutting program implications, (2) capex optimization, and (3)
financial targets.

We believe the new restructuring plan could consider the merging of Endesa and Enersis.
Following Enel’s restructuring plan, we do not dismiss the fact that Enel could push the merger of both
entities in order to create cost synergies and order their LatAm assets, having separated investment
vehicles for the generation, distribution and transmission businesses. The impact of this type of
transaction on the stock price would depend on the approach of the controller to the minority
shareholders and the structure of the transaction itself. Also, there are some relevant constraints Enel
would have to comply to in order for such a transaction to come to fruition:

Most Relevant Constraints for Possible Transaction

1. Restriction of antitrust for Endesa and Enersis to merge generation and distribution in
Chile. According to the Chilean Electricity Law, there are no restrictions on market concentration
for generation and distribution activities. However, Chilean antitrust authorities have imposed
certain measures to increase the transparency within the different companies that form the
Enersis group. The FNE’s resolution 667/2002 mainly requires the following:

- board members of Enersis, Endesa Chile and Chilectra be elected from different and
independent groups;
- Enersis, Endesa Chile and Chilectra may not merge companies within the Enersis group,
which operate in electricity generation and distribution; instead, Enersis must continue to
maintain both business segments separately through companies that are independent
business units; and
- Enersis, Endesa Chile and Chilectra must remain subject to the regulatory authority of the
SVS and comply with the regulations applicable to publicly held stock corporations, even if
they should lose such designation.

2. Enersis bylaws prohibit having a shareholder with more than 65% of shares. Enersis bylaws
prohibit any shareholder from exercising voting power with respect to more than 65% of the
common stock owned by such shareholder or on behalf of others representing more than 65% of
the outstanding issued shares with voting rights. However, we believe if the terms of the
transaction are attractive to minorities they can change the bylaws with 75% of the votes, where
they already have 60% of it.

3. Concentration limits of local Pension Funds. Currently all pension funds comply with the
concentration limitation of having less than 2.75% of each of their funds in a particular company
where the controller owns between 50-65% of shares. In case of a merger between Endesa and
Enersis, and especially if Enel increases its participation on the merge entity above 65%
(concentration limits falls from 2.75% to 1.1%), we believe there could be a significant selling
pressure on both names.
14
VALUATIONS
2015 valuation multiples affected by short-term negative results; 2016 valuations look more
attractive. We estimate Endesa and Enersis are trading at 2015E forward FV/EBITDA of 9.7x and 6.3x,
which are 9% and 7% premiums with respect to their three-year average. In terms of P/E, we estimate
Endesa and Enersis trade at 17.4x and 14.6x, respectively, which is similar to their last three-year
average. However, we believe in the case of Endesa and Enersis, 2015 multiples are not representative
of the real value of the company given the short-term affecting results (poor hydrology, halt of Bocamina
II, tariff revisions). This is why, using our medium-term normalized EBITDA and net income estimates
both companies trade at a discount to historical results.

EVALUATION OF RISK FACTORS
Different scenario for water supply. In our estimates we assume a normal to dry scenario for Chile and
Colombia, with load factors reaching 40% and 55%, respectively. Weaker hydrology could harm earnings
visibility due to higher exposure of the company to the spot market.

Introduction of green, or hydro, taxes in Chile. The tax reform presented by the new government
included the introduction of green taxes. However, we have not included (1) all potential taxes for
particulate materials, nitrogen oxide, and sulfur dioxide of at least US$00.01/ton, with a higher tax in
zones of the country with higher pollution levels, and (2) introduction of hydro generation taxes. If these
taxes are put into effect, it could negatively affect valuations for Endesa and Enersis.

Unexpected halt/stoppage of power plants. The current tight situation of supply-demand equilibrium
implies a large proportion of thermals in the systems operating for a long period. An unexpected halt of
operations at efficient facilities or equipment failure represent a risk to all gencos we follow. For Chile, we
highlight the case of Bocamina II, which is hurting Endesa’s results.

Increase in raw material prices. We believe a potential increase in raw material prices (especially for
coal, gas, or LNG) could have a negative effect on Endesa, as an important part of regulated contracts
are indexed to the U.S. CPI, thus allowing a lower pass-through of cost to prices.

Risks of rationing in Brazil. A scenario of rationing is hard to anticipate, as costs implied to several
agents holding contracts in regulated markets are supposed to be covered afterward through tariffs.
However, rules for rationing are not given per current legislation and will be determined according to the
severity of the drought scenario and expected costs implied for the system.

Continuation of over-costs for distribution business in Brazil. For 2015 we assume an improvement
in Brazilian distribution business following the pass-through to clients of over-costs related to the
involuntary exposure to the spot market in 2014. If spot prices pressure continues or higher costs are not
fully recognized in tariffs, this could have a negative effect on our valuations.

Restructuring of Endesa and Enersis in unfavorable conditions for minorities. We cannot rule out
that following the global restructuring plans of Enel, the company will decide to restructure Endesa and
Enersis. In this case, we believe the impact on the stock would depend on the conditions of the
agreements and the approach of Enel to Enersis and Endesa’s minorities.

Net/Net: We believe Endesa’s strong fundamentals have remained intact and full potential should be seen in the coming
years. The renewal of contracts and restart of Bocamina II should aid margins, while its flexible thermal capacity allows the
company to be fully covered against all hydro scenarios.

EARNINGS OUTLOOK
2014: Colombia and better hydrology offset Bocamina II. We expect EBITDA to increase 11.4%
during 2014 based on (1) 14% depreciation of Chilean peso versus dollar, (2) 27% YoY EBTIDA growth
in Colombia, due to sharp increase in prices related to El Niño ENSO Cycle expectations while Emgesa
has maintained good reservoir levels, and CLP/COP depreciation (3) 9% YoY rise in Peru EBITDA
following the increase in prices, and (4) flat EBITDA in Chile as the halt of Bocamina II (350 MW, coal) is
fully offset by 20% higher hydro generation, consolidation of GasAtacama and 23% rise in sales following
the start-up of regulated supply contract at high prices. Finally, we expect net income to fall 1% due to
operational improvement that is offset by lower profits in related company (weak performance in Endesa
Brazil), higher taxes (tax reform in Chile and FX), and higher minority interest due to the better relative
performance in Colombia, where Endesa owns 26,9% of net income.

2015: Delaying Bocamina to 4Q14. We expect EBITDA to increase 7.1% YoY in 2015 due to (1) 46%
YoY increase in Chilean EBITDA following the 24% growth in sales due to the ramp-up of regulated
contracts and lower impact of halt in Bocamina II versus 2014. The latter is due to lower expectations for
spot prices in Chile thanks to the improvement of hydrology and restart of the power plant in 3Q15. This
would be offset by a 16% EBITDA decline in Colombia due to our expectations for lower spot prices in the
system after the start-up of new hydro generation projects. Also, we expect a 22% YoY decline in
EBITDA in Argentina, owing to high inflation and Argentinian peso depreciation. Finally, net income would
grow 19% YoY thanks to better operating results and low comparison base.

2016: Time to unveil the potential. We forecast EBITDA to reach Ch$1,545 billion (up 32% YoY),
thanks to (1) hydro normalization in Chile, reaching a load factor of 44%, (2) start-up of Bocamina II (350
MW, coal), (3) ramp-up of regulated contract in Chile, and (4) start-up of El Quimbo (400 MW, hydro) in
Colombia during 3Q15.

Sources: Santander estimates

2014: Colombia boosts results while better hydrology in Chile contains effects of delay of
Bocamina II. We are increasing our 2014 top-line estimate by 4.3%; 4% lower-than-expected energy
demand in Chile (in our view, related to economic deceleration) has been fully offset by solid top-line
growth in Colombia associated with sharp increases in prices due to expectations of El Niño Enso Cycle.
Also, we are raising our estimates for 2014 EBITDA by 15.22% due to (1) 5% better outlook for Chilean
operations and (2) a 33% rise in our 2014 EBITDA estimate for Colombia. The Chilean operations are on
the back of 40% lower fuel expenses thanks to the improvement in hydro generation of 16% and lower
use of diesel facilities, which managed to offset the delay of the start-up of Bocamina II (350 MW coal),
which we were expecting for 4Q14. In Colombia, as we are increasing our average sales price by 22% to
US$83 MWh due to a sharp rise in spot prices related to El Niño ENSO Cycle expectation (dry conditions)
while Endesa’s reservoir remain at a high level. Finally, we are raising our bottom-line estimate by 16.9%
thanks to the improvement in operational results and a US$104 million positive effect related to the
agreement with Mitsubishi Company to reduce Endesa Costanera (Argentina) debt.

2015: Lowering results due to delay in Bocamina. We are raising 2015 our top-line estimate by 1.48%,
as weaker expectations in Argentina following the depreciation of local currency are offset by higher
contract prices in the Peruvian operations (Edegel). We are reducing our EBITDA estimate by 5.45% due
to 18% lower EBITDA in Chile, as we are delaying the start-up of Bocamina II to 3Q15, which would lead
to higher purchases in the spot market to fulfill the contract ramp-up. Finally, we are reducing our 2015
net income forecast by 18% due to weaker operating results outlook, increase in taxes estimates (rise in
taxes in Chile and Colombia), and higher minority interest due to better results expectations for Colombia.

Net/Net: We remain positive on Enersis, mainly because we like the exposure of the company to the generation business
growth story (via Endesa) and because we expect to see normalization in the distribution business in the coming years,
which has been affected by nonrecurring events (especially in Brazil).

Enersis from Endesa Spain to be controlled directly by Enel group
shows how relevant Enel’s LatAm operations have become. We

EARNINGS OUTLOOK
2014: Results stronger in generation, weaker in distribution. We expect EBITDA to decline 3.1%
YoY, mainly due to the poor performance of the distribution business and high comparison basis in
Argentina. In Brazil we expect a 24% YoY EBITDA decline in Ampla (involuntary exposure to spot market
and tariff revision) and 9% YoY decline in Coelce (exposure to spot market). Also, we expect an EBITDA
decline in the Argentinian distribution business (Edesur) of Ch$202,715 million to Ch$65,856, mainly due
to high comparison basis as result of a nonrecurring/noncash event during 2013 (US$426 million).
However, we expect this operation to remain under pressure as tariffs remain frozen while inflation
continues affecting costs. On the other hand, we expect this to be offset by positive performance of
generation business due to higher prices and better hydrology in Chile and Colombia, which managed to
offset the halt of Bocamina II. We expect net income to decrease 29% YoY due to nonrecurring events in
Brazil (revaluation of assets in Ampla and Coelce) affecting financial expenses and to higher taxes in
Chile and Colombia.

2015: Better hydrology to benefit generation and recovery in Brazilian distribution business. We
forecast 7.2% YoY EBITDA growth in 2015, mainly due to (1) better hydrology and higher prices in Chile,
offsetting the halt of Bocamina II (350 MW, coal), (2) pass-through of higher costs to final clients in
Brazilian distribution business, and (3) outlook for distribution business in Chile. This would be offset by
still-weak performance in Argentinian distribution business and tariff revision in Colombia (Codensa). We
highlight our estimate of a 35% growth in net income mainly due to the absence of nonrecurring events
related to the revalorization of distribution assets in Brazil, lower impact from FX depreciation, and lower
effect from deferred taxes into bottom line.

2016: Generation business to drive recovery in results. For 2016, we expect EBITDA and net income
growth of 18% YoY and 25% YoY, respectively, mainly due to (1) further normalization of hydrology in
Chile, with load factor reaching 44%, (2) restart of Bocamina II (350 MW), diminishing the dependence
from the spot market, (3) full ramp-up of new regulated contracts in Chile, and (4) start-up of El Quimbo
400 MW hydro project in Colombia (4Q15).

Sources: Santander estimates.

2014: Better performance in Colombia offset by negative nonoperational effects in Brazil. We are
raising our 2014 top-line and EBITDA estimates by 10% and 4%, respectively, as a result of higher prices
in the generation business and better hydrology in Chile and Colombia. This should be partially offset by
the Brazilian operations, where results have been lower than expected due to involuntary exposure to
high spot prices in the Brazilian distribution business and a weaker performance in the generation
business, especially Cachoeria, which is currently buying energy in the spot market to supply its
contracts. We are reducing our 2014 net income estimate by 24% as a result of the negative effects on
nonoperating profit from the revaluation of assets in the Brazilian distribution business.

2015: Maintaining EBITDA estimate, but lowering bottom-line estimate. We are maintaining our 2015
EBITDA estimate, as the negative effect on margins from the halt of Bocamina II should be offset by
better hydrology in Chile and higher prices in Colombia. We are reducing our bottom-line estimate by
12.4% due to higher taxes in Chile and Colombia, and to the increase in minorities due to higher-than-
expected results in Colombia, where Enersis consolidates only 49% of the operation.
