## Customers

Edenor serves households, public lighting authorities, commercial users, industrial users, and large-demand customers inside its concession area. Its revenues depend on regulated tariffs, electricity volumes delivered, and the structure of customer demand across these segments.

- **Residential and public lighting** (primary) — Small-demand households and municipal lighting customers buying regulated electricity supply and distribution services.
- **Commercial and industrial medium demand** (primary) — Businesses with contracted medium-load electricity needs that buy reliable network access and supply.
- **Large demand industrial** (secondary) — High-load users taking supply at higher voltages and requiring dependable grid capacity.
- **Wheeling and third-party access** (secondary) — Generators and large users paying for use of spare network capacity.

- Residential users and public lighting customers in the concession area
- Commercial and industrial users with medium demand needs
- Large-demand industrial users connected at higher voltages
- Third parties using the network through wheeling arrangements
- Regulated customer base served under tariff schedules

## Geography

Edenor’s business is concentrated in northwest Greater Buenos Aires and the northern area of the City of Buenos Aires. This footprint makes the company a highly localized regulated utility, with operating performance tied to the economics, population density, and electricity demand of the Buenos Aires metropolitan area.

- **Argentina** (100%) — All revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities are associated with one operating and geographical segment in Argentina.

- Operations are concentrated in Greater Buenos Aires
- Service territory covers the northern City of Buenos Aires
- The concession area serves about 3.41 million customers
- Geography is fixed by regulation and concession terms
- Local demand mix affects load, losses, and investment needs

## Strategy

Edenor’s strategy centers on strengthening its regulated network, improving operating indicators, and supporting tariff normalization and investment execution. The company also seeks to broaden its scope through complementary businesses linked to energy transition, electrification, and potential expansion into adjacent energy activities.

- **Network investment and operating improvement** (medium-term) — A stronger network supports service quality, losses reduction, and long-term regulated returns.
- **Regulatory normalization and asset recovery** (short-term) — Regulatory clarity and recovery mechanisms shape cash flow and tariff economics.
- **Diversification into adjacent energy businesses** (medium-term) — Complementary activities can broaden the revenue base beyond core distribution.
- **Capital structure and liability management** (short-term) — Utility investment needs and regulated cash generation require disciplined financing.

- Invest in the distribution network and operational reliability
- Support tariff normalization and regulatory asset recovery
- Maintain access to capital markets and liability management
- Pursue adjacent energy businesses and diversification
- Position for electrification and energy-transition opportunities

## Risks

Edenor’s main risks come from regulation, tariff setting, and the timing of recovery for network investments and receivables. As a single-area regulated utility, it is also exposed to local demand conditions, capital-intensive infrastructure needs, and execution risk around diversification beyond its core electricity distribution business.

- **Tariff regulation and rate-setting risk** [high] — Electricity prices are set by the regulator, so revenue recovery depends on administrative decisions.
- **Regulatory asset recovery risk** [high] — Claims and proposed regularization frameworks may not be approved on the expected terms or timing.
- **Financing and liquidity execution risk** [medium] — Distribution networks require sustained capex and access to funding to execute the investment plan.
- **Demand concentration in one service area** [medium] — Operations are tied to the Buenos Aires metropolitan concession area, limiting geographic diversification.
- **Diversification and integration risk** [medium] — New businesses such as gas, generation, storage, and mobility require capabilities beyond core distribution.

- Tariff and regulatory decisions can affect revenue recovery
- Regulatory asset recovery may be delayed or incomplete
- Capital-intensive network investment requires financing discipline
- Local demand and consumption patterns influence volumes
- Diversification into new businesses adds execution risk

## Accounting

Edenor’s reporting is affected by hyperinflation accounting, which restates prior-period figures into the current purchasing-power unit and can materially change comparability across periods. Revenue recognition depends on regulated tariffs, customer categories, and when distributed electricity and wheeling services are delivered, while the company also uses estimates tied to regulatory assets, debt regularization, and other contingent matters.

- **IAS 29 hyperinflation restatement** — comparability across periods
- **Regulated revenue recognition** — timing and composition of revenue
- **Regulatory assets and claims** — assets, earnings, and cash flow
- **Service and wheeling revenue timing** — quarterly revenue volatility

- IAS 29 restatement affects comparability of reported figures
- Regulated tariff revenue depends on meterings and rate schedules
- Wheeling and service revenues are recognized as services are delivered
- Regulatory asset claims require judgment on recoverability
- Debt regularization and contingencies can affect liabilities
