AES (USA) Delivers Strong Third Quarter Results
• Third quarter 2019 Diluted Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations (Diluted EPS) was
$0.32, an increase of $0.17 compared to third quarter 2018, primarily reflecting contributions
from new businesses, outages in the Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean Strategic
Business Unit (MCAC SBU) and related insurance recovery, a lower effective tax rate, and an
$0.11 impairment at Shady Point in Oklahoma in 2018. These contributions were partially offset
by unrealized foreign currency losses in Argentina in 2019.
• Third quarter 2019 Adjusted Earnings Per Share (Adjusted EPS, a non-GAAP financial
measure) was $0.48, an increase of $0.13 compared to third quarter 2018, primarily reflecting

improved performance at the South America SBU, outages in the MCAC SBU and related
insurance recovery, as well as a lower tax rate.

AEP (USA) Reports Strong Third-Quarter 2019 Earnings
• American Electric Power reported third-quarter 2019 earnings, prepared in accordance
with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), of $734 million or $1.49 per share,
compared with GAAP earnings of $578 million or $1.17 per share in third-quarter 2018.
• Operating earnings for third-quarter 2019 were $722 million or $1.46 per share, compared
with operating earnings of $619 million or $1.26 per share in third-quarter 2018. Operating
earnings is a non-GAAP measure representing GAAP earnings excluding special items. The
difference between 2019 GAAP earnings and operating earnings for the quarter was
primarily driven by the mark-to-market impact of economic hedging activities.
• AEP raises and narrows full-year operating earnings (non-GAAP) guidance range to $4.14
to $4.24 per share
• AEP management increased and narrowed its 2019 operating earnings guidance range to
$4.14 to $4.24 per share from $4.00 to $4.20 per share. Operating earnings could differ from
GAAP earnings for matters such as impairments, acquisitions, divestitures or changes in
accounting principles.
• Reflecting special items recorded through the third quarter, the estimated earnings per
share on a GAAP basis would be $4.07 to $4.17. See the table below for a full reconciliation
of 2019 earnings guidance.
Executive Commentary
"We've increased and narrowed our 2019 earnings guidance range based on our strong
performance this year. That performance has been driven by strategic investments in our
regulated businesses to enhance service for our customers, as well as by favorable
weather," said AEP's chairman, president and chief executive officer.AEP's Board of
Directors also voted earlier this week to boost our quarterly dividend by 3 cents to 70
cents per share, an increase of 4.5%. Over the last two years, we've grown our dividend
by an average of 6.3%, in line with our 5% to 7% earnings growth range and well within
our targeted 60% to 70% payout ratio.Additionally, we are seeing the benefits of our
recent investments in contracted renewable generation. The wind facilities that we
added to our generation fleet earlier this year and the repowering of our Trent Mesa and
Desert Sky wind projects in Texas already are contributing positively to the earnings of
our generation business.Weather normalized retail sales were relatively flat for the
quarter, which is an improvement from the second quarter this year. Both residential and
commercial sales increased in the third quarter, reflecting higher employment and
wages. Although lower than the same period last year, our industrial sales have benefited
this quarter from the continued growth in the oil and gas sectors.

Atmos Energy Corporation (USA) Reports Earnings For Fiscal 2019
• Fiscal 2019 consolidated net income was $511.4 million or $4.35 per diluted share, compared with consolidated net income of $603.1 million, or $5.43 per diluted share
for the same period last year. Adjusted net income for the year ended September 30, 2018, was $444.3 million, or $4.00 per diluted share, after excluding the effects of
implementing the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) from the prior year.
• Capital expenditures rose 15 percent to $1.7 billion for the year ended September 30, 2019, with approximately 87 percent of that spending related to system safety and
reliability investments.
• Atmos Energy expects fiscal 2020 earnings to be in the range of $4.58 to $4.73 per diluted share. Capital expenditures are expected to be in the range of $1.85 billion
to $1.95 billion in fiscal 2020.
• The company's Board of Directors has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.575 per common share. The indicated annual dividend for fiscal 2020 is $2.30, which
represents a 9.5% increase over fiscal 2019.
• Fiscal 2019 fourth quarter net income was $58.4 million or $0.49 per diluted share, compared with adjusted net income of $45.5 million, or $0.41 per diluted share for
the same period last year, after excluding the effects of the TCJA in the prior-year quarter.
• Operating income increased $18.2 million to $746.1 million for the year ended September 30, 2019, compared to $727.9 million in the prior year, which primarily
reflects positive rate outcomes, customer growth in the distribution business and higher volumes and margins in our pipeline and storage segment, partially offset by
higher operation and maintenance, depreciation and property tax expenses in the current year.
• Distribution Contribution Margin increased $33.7 million to $1,476.9 million for the year ended September 30, 2019, compared with $1,443.2 million in the prior year.
Contribution Margin reflects a net $33.0 million increase in rates, primarily in the Mid-Tex, Mississippi, West Texas and Louisiana divisions. In addition, customer
growth increased $12.8 million, primarily in our Mid-Tex division. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $9.6 million in pass-thru taxes and consumption
of $2.3 million, primarily in our Mid-Tex division.
• Pipeline and storage Contribution Margin increased $61.7 million to $567.4 million for the year ended September 30, 2019, compared with $505.7 million in the prior
year. This increase is primarily attributable to a net $46.5 million increase in revenue from GRIP filings approved in fiscal 2018 and 2019. In addition, transportation
revenues increased Contribution Margin by a net $12.2 million due to wider spreads and positive supply and demand dynamics impacting the Permian Basin.
• Operation and maintenance expense for the year ended September 30, 2019 was $630.3 million, compared with $594.8 million for the prior year. The $35.5 million
increase primarily reflects increased pipeline maintenance and related spending as well as employee, training and software license expenses in the current year, partially
offset by the absence of expenses incurred for the Northwest Dallas outage in the prior year.
• Capital expenditures increased $225.9 million to $1,693.5 million for the year ended September 30, 2019, compared with $1,467.6 million in the prior year, due to
continued spending for infrastructure replacements and enhancements.
• For the year ended September 30, 2019, the company generated operating cash flow of $968.8 million, a $155.9 million decrease compared with the year ended
September 30, 2018. The year-over-year decrease is primarily attributable to working capital changes, particularly in our distribution segment resulting from the timing
of payments for natural gas purchases and deferred gas cost recoveries.
• Our equity capitalization ratio at September 30, 2019 was 59.0%, compared with 56.7% at September 30, 2018. The increase primarily reflects the effects of our fiscal
2019 financing activities and lower short-term debt at September 30, 2019.
Executive Commentary
“Our investment strategy continues to improve the safety and reliability of our system, provide value to our customers and drive our financial performance,” said
President and chief executive officer of Atmos Energy Corporation. “As we continue to modernize our natural gas distribution, transmission and storage systems,
we remain well positioned to continue delivering annual earnings per share growth in the six to eight percent range.”

EnBW (Germany) continues positive earnings performance
• EnBW continued its successful performance with an operating result (adjusted EBITDA) of €1.69 billion in the first
nine months of 2019.
• Adjusted EBITDA was thus 7.4% up on the previous year (€1.57 billion). Revenue came to €14.37 billion (down
3.2%). The number of employees rose to 22,934, an increase of 6.7 percent on the previous year.
• Adjusted EBITDA for the 2019 financial year is expected to be in a range between €2.35 billion and €2.5 billion.
• Adjusted net profit attributable to the shareholders of EnBW AG went up from €397 million in the same period of the
previous year to some €507 million in the first nine months of 2019.
• Adjusted EBITDA in the Sales segment was €187.4 million in the first nine months of 2019, 7.5% below the same
period of the previous year. The difference is mainly due to higher procurement costs for electricity and gas. Plusnet,
the Cologne-based telecommunications company acquired in June 2019, has contributed to earnings from the beginning
of the third quarter.
• The Grids segment sustained its positive performance. Adjusted EBITDA came to €1,024.6 million, an increase of
4.6% in the first nine months of 2019 relative to the same period a year earlier. A major factor in the positive earnings
performance comprised higher grid revenue, notably due to necessary increased investment in grid security and
reliability.

2019. This corresponds to 38.5% earnings growth compared with a year earlier.
• At €192.6 million and with an increase of 0.6 percent in the first nine months of 2019, adjusted EBITDA in the
Generation and Trading segment is on a similar level to the previous year.
• At some €2.13 billion, capital expenditure in the EnBW Group doubled relative to the previous year (€1.02 billion).
This mainly relates to the acquisition of wind and solar company Valeco and of Plusnet GmbH.
Executive Commentary
“We are confirming our full-year earnings guidance unaltered”, CFO emphasised. “This is most of all with a view
to the new earnings contributions from our Hohe See and Albatros offshore wind farms beginning in the fourth
quarter together with the stable earnings contributions from the grids business. Against this backdrop, we are
confident that we will already attain our strategic target of €2.4 billion for 2020 this year, while remaining clear
that we must not let up in improving efficiency.”

Entergy Mississippi Acquires Choctaw County Generating Station
Entergy Mississippi, LLC has closed its purchase of the 810-megawatt Choctaw County
Generating Station. The transaction represents a major step toward modernizing the electric
grid and providing additional efficient, clean energy for customers. Located near French
Camp, Mississippi, the Choctaw County Generating Station entered commercial operation in
July 2003. It is a clean and modern combined-cycle natural gas turbine unit, consisting of
three combustion turbines, a steam turbine and an air-cooled condenser. The plant will
employ 27 people.In August 2018, Entergy Mississippi announced it had entered into a
purchase agreement with a subsidiary of GenOn Energy, Inc., to buy the plant for $314
million, subject to certain adjustments. That amount is significantly less than the cost to build
a comparable facility and provides more immediate benefits and savings for customers. The
facility’s technology uses natural gas and its steam byproduct to produce clean, affordable
electricity. It is also environmentally-friendly and furthers Entergy Corporation’s reputation
as one of the cleanest utilities in the country. The Choctaw County Generating Station is
another important milestone in Entergy’s broader plan to modernize and transform the
Entergy Utility’s existing generation fleet. Over the past 20 years, the Entergy Utility has
added approximately 8 gigawatts of clean, highly efficient generation, allowing for the
deactivation of over 6 gigawatts of older, less-efficient gas or oil units.
Executive Commentary
“This announcement is one more step toward modernizing our generating fleet and
moves us forward in our quest to provide greater reliability, lower emissions and cost
savings to our customers,” said Entergy Mississippi president and CEO.It also gives us a
presence in Choctaw County, and we’re excited about the partnership we’ll have with the
local community and its leaders and look forward to working with them as a corporate
partner.”

Naturgy(Spain) and Sonatrach sign an agreement with Mubadala for the acquisition of their
participation in Medgaz, which after the operation will become co-controlled by both
Naturgy and Sonatrach have reached an agreement with Mubadala for the acquisition of
42.09% of the stake in Medgaz. After the closing of the operation, Medgaz will become the
exclusive property of Sonatrach (with a 51% stake) and Naturgy (with the remaining 49%)
and a shareholder agreement that gives them joint control of the pipeline. The operation will
allow Naturgy to transform its current 14.95% stake in Medgaz, from being a financial
investment with very limited government rights to a strategic stake that will allow joint
control of the company along with Sonatrach. Naturgy will acquire 34.05% of Medgaz for
445 million euros through a vehicle (SPV), which can give entry to a financial partner, thus
reducing Naturgy's capital contribution. The SPV will be financed with a loan without
recourse of c. 260 million euros to optimize its capital structure. The transaction values 100%
of Medgaz's capital at 1,300 million euros with an “Enterprise Value” of approximately 1,900
million euros, equivalent to 6.9x the expected EBITDA in 2021, which includes the approved
2bcm / y expansion program of the Current gas pipeline, which will increase capacity by
25% to 10 bcm in volume and will be operational in 2021 with an investment of only c. €
67M. Medgaz is expected to distribute dividends above 130 million euros annually as of
2021.
Executive Commentary
“As a whole, it is a very attractive operation for Naturgy, both because it is a strategic
infrastructure asset, where we increase our control position significantly, as well as the
financial terms reached in the agreement, which represent an attractive price for stable
dividends and Long-term predictables that meet our criteria for generating shareholder
value, ”said President of Naturgy.

PJSC Inter RAO Announces RAS Financial Results for the First
9 Months of 2019
• Revenue of PJSC Inter RAO for the first nine months of 2019 amounts to 40.0 billion rubles, up 4.8 billion rubles (13.7%) as compared to the first nine months of 2018.
• Power export revenues amount to 33.6 billion rubles, up 8.9 billion rubles (35.9%) in comparison with the corresponding period of the previous year. This change is primarily attributed to increase in electricity export
and selling price to Lithuania and Finland.
• Revenue from WECM electricity and capacity sales decreased by 4.1 billion rubles (39.9%) and amounted to as much as 6.2 billion rubles in the first nine months of 2019. This decrease in revenue on the wholesale
market for electricity and capacity is related to the absence of commercial electricity import from Kazakhstan.
• Production cost in the first nine months of 2019 was 25.9 billion rubles, which is 1.6 billion rubles (6.5%) higher than in the corresponding period of the previous year. The change in production cost reflects several
multidirectional factors, including a 4.7 billion rubles (23.6%) increase in the cost of electricity and capacity purchased domestically due to the increase in electricity export mainly to Lithuania and Finland, 3.1 billion
rubles (69.5%) decrease in electricity import costs, largely as a result of decrease of commercial import from Kazakhstan.
• Gross profit for the first nine months of 2019 amounted to as much as 14.0 billion rubles compared to 10.8 billion rubles in the corresponding period last year.
• Selling costs for the first nine months of 2019 amounted 2.6 billion rubles, which is 0.8 billion rubles (45.2%) higher in comparison with the corresponding period last year. Major factor contributing to the increase
in the selling costs is the increased costs of infrastructure services which are mainly attributed to the increased exports to Lithuania and Finland, which was offset by an increase in business indicators.
• Administrative costs changed insignificantly – by 0.4 billion rubles (9.1%) – and amounted to 4.6 billion rubles for the first nine months of 2019.
• Sales profit in the first nine months of 2019 increased by 2.0 billion rubles (42.4%) and amounted to 6.8 billion rubles.
• Income from share ownership in other companies decreased by 3.8 billion rubles (72.0%) and amounted to 1.5 billion rubles, which was related to dividend payments from Group subsidiaries in smaller volume.
• Balance of interest receivable and payable changed insignificantly compared to the corresponding period of 2018 and amounted to 3.1 billion rubles.
• Balance of other income/expenses in the first nine months of 2019 was minus 2.8 billion rubles compared to 1.9 billion rubles in the corresponding period of 2018. This change was influenced primarily by
income/expenses related to foreign currency translation differences resulting from changes in the exchange rates.
• As a result, net profit for the first nine months of 2019 amounted to 7.0 billion rubles compared to 12.8 billion rubles in the same period of 2018. At the same time the Company's foreign economic activity saw positive
dynamics (2.0 billion rubles increase).

diluted common share and Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of $792 million.

driven by:
• Texas Region: $213 million increase due to higher realized power prices; and

liquidity was $1.5 billion, including restricted cash. Overall liquidity as of the end of the third quarter 2019 was

increase of $184 million to become effective Dec. 1, 2020. This amount includes cost
recovery of the Four Corners Power Plant selective catalytic reduction (SCR) project that is

of 5.4 percent, including an already pending adjustment for the SCR installations, which for

For EDF Energy in particular, it was recognition of the company’s contribution to skills development and learning – in turn ensuring
that the existing and new fleet of nuclear power stations are a catalyst for the long-term development of skills and economic growth
for the regions and for the UK as a whole. The award celebrated the work that is supporting the construction of the UK’s first new
power station for a generation at Hinkley Point C. Working across the HPC project and EDF Energy as a whole, the People
Development team are supporting a growing number of apprentices, assisting with on-boarding and providing advice and guidance
to the wider organisation as it meets the demanding skills requirements in building such an important part of the UK’s future low
carbon infrastructure. Also recognised was the innovative work carried out with the Nuclear Skills Academy on the coal to nuclear
transfer scheme. This saw 20 operational staff moving from the now decommissioned coal fired power station at Cottam to other
roles within EDF Energy’s nuclear fleet with ECITB supporting the delivery of the additional training.

EDP (Portugal) is a finalist in three categories of the Best Event Awards

The brand activation in music and sports and the EDP Cool Jazz festival are running for the grand prize in Sustainability, Technological Innovation and Best Festival
categories. With a clear and continuous focus on music and sport, EDP has increasingly established itself as “the official energy of music” and “the official energy of
sport.” It was through this strategy that the new positioning of the brand in these sponsorship areas was realised in 2019: Let's Go. This communication motto became a
rallying invitation that led hundreds of people to the brand-supported music festivals and sporting competitions. From this position, EDP presented at the NOS Alive
festival the philosophy and unprecedented structure that accompanied the brand in all music and sports events. For the first time at a national festival, innovative trucks
were docked together, creating a unique space for sharing and fun, all home to EDP and its visitors at summer concerts. This space continues to provide memories for
those seeking fun and differentiating experiences at EDP-sponsored events.Sustainability is one of the company's priorities and, therefore, this event was developed with
concern for the environment negating the need for the building of additional structures and having to dismantle these before and after the festivals. Being self-sufficient
in this sense results in cost saving and reducing the environmental impact compared to the best known development methods generally used in these events. In order to
promote the use of renewable energies, another of EDP's pillars, photovoltaic films, were placed outside, which enabled energy supply to some equipment during the
events. For these reasons, which combine innovation, sustainability and support for culture and sport, EDP was chosen to be shortlisted in the categories of Sustainability
and Technological Innovation in the BEAAwards, a competition that will distinguish the best in the world in the area of events. In addition to brand activation, the EDP
Cool Jazz festival is also nominated for an award in the category of Best Festival.

  • 9. Financial, M&A Updates IT Shades Engage & Enable AEP (USA) Reports Strong Third-Quarter 2019 Earnings • American Electric Power reported third-quarter 2019 earnings, prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), of $734 million or $1.49 per share, compared with GAAP earnings of $578 million or $1.17 per share in third-quarter 2018. • Operating earnings for third-quarter 2019 were $722 million or $1.46 per share, compared with operating earnings of $619 million or $1.26 per share in third-quarter 2018. Operating earnings is a non-GAAP measure representing GAAP earnings excluding special items. The difference between 2019 GAAP earnings and operating earnings for the quarter was primarily driven by the mark-to-market impact of economic hedging activities. • AEP raises and narrows full-year operating earnings (non-GAAP) guidance range to $4.14 to $4.24 per share • AEP management increased and narrowed its 2019 operating earnings guidance range to $4.14 to $4.24 per share from $4.00 to $4.20 per share. Operating earnings could differ from GAAP earnings for matters such as impairments, acquisitions, divestitures or changes in accounting principles. • Reflecting special items recorded through the third quarter, the estimated earnings per share on a GAAP basis would be $4.07 to $4.17. See the table below for a full reconciliation of 2019 earnings guidance. Executive Commentary "We've increased and narrowed our 2019 earnings guidance range based on our strong performance this year. That performance has been driven by strategic investments in our regulated businesses to enhance service for our customers, as well as by favorable weather," said AEP's chairman, president and chief executive officer.AEP's Board of Directors also voted earlier this week to boost our quarterly dividend by 3 cents to 70 cents per share, an increase of 4.5%. Over the last two years, we've grown our dividend by an average of 6.3%, in line with our 5% to 7% earnings growth range and well within our targeted 60% to 70% payout ratio.Additionally, we are seeing the benefits of our recent investments in contracted renewable generation. The wind facilities that we added to our generation fleet earlier this year and the repowering of our Trent Mesa and Desert Sky wind projects in Texas already are contributing positively to the earnings of our generation business.Weather normalized retail sales were relatively flat for the quarter, which is an improvement from the second quarter this year. Both residential and commercial sales increased in the third quarter, reflecting higher employment and wages. Although lower than the same period last year, our industrial sales have benefited this quarter from the continued growth in the oil and gas sectors.

Adjusted net income for the year ended September 30, 2018, was $444.3 million, or $4.00 per diluted share, after excluding the effects of implementing the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) from the prior year. • Capital expenditures rose 15 percent to $1.7 billion for the year ended September 30, 2019, with approximately 87 percent of that spending related to system safety and reliability investments. • Atmos Energy expects fiscal 2020 earnings to be in the range of $4.58 to $4.73 per diluted share. Capital expenditures are expected to be in the range of $1.85 billion to $1.95 billion in fiscal 2020. • The company's Board of Directors has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.575 per common share. The indicated annual dividend for fiscal 2020 is $2.30, which represents a 9.5% increase over fiscal 2019. • Fiscal 2019 fourth quarter net income was $58.4 million or $0.49 per diluted share, compared with adjusted net income of $45.5 million, or $0.41 per diluted share for the same period last year, after excluding the effects of the TCJA in the prior-year quarter. • Operating income increased $18.2 million to $746.1 million for the year ended September 30, 2019, compared to $727.9 million in the prior year, which primarily reflects positive rate outcomes, customer growth in the distribution business and higher volumes and margins in our pipeline and storage segment, partially offset by higher operation and maintenance, depreciation and property tax expenses in the current year. • Distribution Contribution Margin increased $33.7 million to $1,476.9 million for the year ended September 30, 2019, compared with $1,443.2 million in the prior year. Contribution Margin reflects a net $33.0 million increase in rates, primarily in the Mid-Tex, Mississippi, West Texas and Louisiana divisions. In addition, customer growth increased $12.8 million, primarily in our Mid-Tex division. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $9.6 million in pass-thru taxes and consumption of $2.3 million, primarily in our Mid-Tex division. • Pipeline and storage Contribution Margin increased $61.7 million to $567.4 million for the year ended September 30, 2019, compared with $505.7 million in the prior year. This increase is primarily attributable to a net $46.5 million increase in revenue from GRIP filings approved in fiscal 2018 and 2019. In addition, transportation revenues increased Contribution Margin by a net $12.2 million due to wider spreads and positive supply and demand dynamics impacting the Permian Basin. • Operation and maintenance expense for the year ended September 30, 2019 was $630.3 million, compared with $594.8 million for the prior year. The $35.5 million increase primarily reflects increased pipeline maintenance and related spending as well as employee, training and software license expenses in the current year, partially offset by the absence of expenses incurred for the Northwest Dallas outage in the prior year. • Capital expenditures increased $225.9 million to $1,693.5 million for the year ended September 30, 2019, compared with $1,467.6 million in the prior year, due to continued spending for infrastructure replacements and enhancements. • For the year ended September 30, 2019, the company generated operating cash flow of $968.8 million, a $155.9 million decrease compared with the year ended September 30, 2018. The year-over-year decrease is primarily attributable to working capital changes, particularly in our distribution segment resulting from the timing of payments for natural gas purchases and deferred gas cost recoveries. • Our equity capitalization ratio at September 30, 2019 was 59.0%, compared with 56.7% at September 30, 2018. The increase primarily reflects the effects of our fiscal 2019 financing activities and lower short-term debt at September 30, 2019. Executive Commentary “Our investment strategy continues to improve the safety and reliability of our system, provide value to our customers and drive our financial performance,” said President and chief executive officer of Atmos Energy Corporation. “As we continue to modernize our natural gas distribution, transmission and storage systems, we remain well positioned to continue delivering annual earnings per share growth in the six to eight percent range.” For any queries, Please write to marketing@itshades.com 5 Key Financial Highlights

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consec- tetuer Financial, M&A Updates IT Shades Engage & Enable Entergy Mississippi Acquires Choctaw County Generating Station Entergy Mississippi, LLC has closed its purchase of the 810-megawatt Choctaw County Generating Station. The transaction represents a major step toward modernizing the electric grid and providing additional efficient, clean energy for customers. Located near French Camp, Mississippi, the Choctaw County Generating Station entered commercial operation in July 2003. It is a clean and modern combined-cycle natural gas turbine unit, consisting of three combustion turbines, a steam turbine and an air-cooled condenser. The plant will employ 27 people.In August 2018, Entergy Mississippi announced it had entered into a purchase agreement with a subsidiary of GenOn Energy, Inc., to buy the plant for $314 million, subject to certain adjustments. That amount is significantly less than the cost to build a comparable facility and provides more immediate benefits and savings for customers. The facility’s technology uses natural gas and its steam byproduct to produce clean, affordable electricity. It is also environmentally-friendly and furthers Entergy Corporation’s reputation as one of the cleanest utilities in the country. The Choctaw County Generating Station is another important milestone in Entergy’s broader plan to modernize and transform the Entergy Utility’s existing generation fleet. Over the past 20 years, the Entergy Utility has added approximately 8 gigawatts of clean, highly efficient generation, allowing for the deactivation of over 6 gigawatts of older, less-efficient gas or oil units. Executive Commentary “This announcement is one more step toward modernizing our generating fleet and moves us forward in our quest to provide greater reliability, lower emissions and cost savings to our customers,” said Entergy Mississippi president and CEO.It also gives us a presence in Choctaw County, and we’re excited about the partnership we’ll have with the local community and its leaders and look forward to working with them as a corporate partner.” For any queries, Please write to marketing@itshades.com Description 15

This decrease in revenue on the wholesale market for electricity and capacity is related to the absence of commercial electricity import from Kazakhstan. • Production cost in the first nine months of 2019 was 25.9 billion rubles, which is 1.6 billion rubles (6.5%) higher than in the corresponding period of the previous year. The change in production cost reflects several multidirectional factors, including a 4.7 billion rubles (23.6%) increase in the cost of electricity and capacity purchased domestically due to the increase in electricity export mainly to Lithuania and Finland, 3.1 billion rubles (69.5%) decrease in electricity import costs, largely as a result of decrease of commercial import from Kazakhstan. • Gross profit for the first nine months of 2019 amounted to as much as 14.0 billion rubles compared to 10.8 billion rubles in the corresponding period last year. • Selling costs for the first nine months of 2019 amounted 2.6 billion rubles, which is 0.8 billion rubles (45.2%) higher in comparison with the corresponding period last year. Major factor contributing to the increase in the selling costs is the increased costs of infrastructure services which are mainly attributed to the increased exports to Lithuania and Finland, which was offset by an increase in business indicators. • Administrative costs changed insignificantly – by 0.4 billion rubles (9.1%) – and amounted to 4.6 billion rubles for the first nine months of 2019. • Sales profit in the first nine months of 2019 increased by 2.0 billion rubles (42.4%) and amounted to 6.8 billion rubles. • Income from share ownership in other companies decreased by 3.8 billion rubles (72.0%) and amounted to 1.5 billion rubles, which was related to dividend payments from Group subsidiaries in smaller volume. • Balance of interest receivable and payable changed insignificantly compared to the corresponding period of 2018 and amounted to 3.1 billion rubles. • Balance of other income/expenses in the first nine months of 2019 was minus 2.8 billion rubles compared to 1.9 billion rubles in the corresponding period of 2018.

With a clear and continuous focus on music and sport, EDP has increasingly established itself as “the official energy of music” and “the official energy of sport.” It was through this strategy that the new positioning of the brand in these sponsorship areas was realised in 2019: Let's Go. This communication motto became a rallying invitation that led hundreds of people to the brand-supported music festivals and sporting competitions. From this position, EDP presented at the NOS Alive festival the philosophy and unprecedented structure that accompanied the brand in all music and sports events. For the first time at a national festival, innovative trucks were docked together, creating a unique space for sharing and fun, all home to EDP and its visitors at summer concerts. This space continues to provide memories for those seeking fun and differentiating experiences at EDP-sponsored events.Sustainability is one of the company's priorities and, therefore, this event was developed with concern for the environment negating the need for the building of additional structures and having to dismantle these before and after the festivals. Being self-sufficient in this sense results in cost saving and reducing the environmental impact compared to the best known development methods generally used in these events. In order to promote the use of renewable energies, another of EDP's pillars, photovoltaic films, were placed outside, which enabled energy supply to some equipment during the events. For these reasons, which combine innovation, sustainability and support for culture and sport, EDP was chosen to be shortlisted in the categories of Sustainability and Technological Innovation in the BEAAwards, a competition that will distinguish the best in the world in the area of events.
