CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES |
Note | 1 |General information |
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.
The Company’s economic and financial situation
After the first three months of 2025, the trend towards improvement of the Company’s economic performance that had begun in 2024 continues, driven mainly by the recent electricity rate increases. In this context, the Company is currently analyzing the impact of the 2025-2030 Electricity Rate Review (Note 2.a).
During the first months of the current year, the periodic monthly adjustments of the CPD have continued, with increases of 4%, on average.
On March 10, 2025, by means of Executive Order No. 179/2025 of the PEN, a new financing program with the International Monetary Fund was approved, earmarked for the following: (i) repaying debt with the BCRA; (ii) settling maturities and paying public credit obligations of the 2022 program; (iii) strengthening international reserves; (iv) maintaining a zero fiscal deficit; (v) ensuring that the funds from the new program are used to pay debts rather than for fiscal expenditures; (vi) reducing inflation and stabilizing the economy; (vii) lifting foreign currency restrictions and making progress with the foreign currency market flexibilization; and (viii) regaining international market access, improving the country’s credit rating and facilitating its return to the global financial system. The Executive Order was approved by the Chamber of Representatives on March 20, 2025.
In this regard, on April 11, 2025, the IMF approved a 48-month USD 20 billion arrangement with quarterly reviews of targets and a repayment term of 10 years. Of the total amount approved, USD 15 billion relates to unrestricted disbursements in 2025.
Consequently, the BCRA provided for the ending of the so-called “cepo” foreign exchange controls and the implementation of a floating exchange rate system within bands as from April 14, 2025:
· | The cepo currency controls that restricted the purchase of dollars in the MLC to USD 200 per month since October 2019, are lifted. |
· | A floating exchange rate band system, with the band ranging between ARS/USD 1,000 and ARS/USD 1,400, is adopted. The exchange rate will float freely based on supply and demand within the bands and the bands’ limits will be gradually widened -1% and +1% per month, respectively. |
· | The BCRA will buy or sell dollars when the exchange rate at the MLC operates outside the bands. This, which is largely possible thanks to the IMF’s contribution of liquid funds mentioned in the preceding paragraph, would facilitate a transition without disruptions in the ongoing disinflation process. |
· | All restrictions on access to the MLC related to government assistance received during the pandemic, subsidies, the public-sector employment and others are eliminated. |
11 |
CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES |
· | Imports of (a) goods and services may be paid through the MLC from the date of customs entry registration and from the date the service is rendered, respectively (previously, there was a 30-day waiting period); (b) capital goods may be paid through the MLC as follows: an advance payment of 30%, 50% from the date of shipment at the port of origin, and 20% from the date of customs entry registration; (c) services between related companies may be paid through the MLC after 90 days from the date the service is rendered (previously the timeframe was 180 days). |
· | Access to the MLC is authorized for the purpose of paying dividends to non-resident shareholders in respect of realized earnings recognized in financial statements for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2025. |
Additionally, the BCRA and the Central Bank of China (PBOC) have agreed on a new 12-month extension of the currency swap bilateral agreement, equivalent to USD 5 billion.
In this framework, the BCRA provides for a monetary system aimed at a tighter monitoring of the money supply, based on the non-financing of the fiscal policy by the BCRA, and of zero monetary issuance for the remuneration of the BCRA’s remunerated liabilities. It is expected that the aforementioned measures, as a whole, will boost activity and investment, the recovery of domestic savings and credit to the private sector, increasing monetary predictability, exchange rate flexibility and unrestricted reserves that support the new economic program.
Finally, by means of the 2025 General Budget approved by Executive Order No. 186/2025, a new Special System for the Regularization of Payment Obligations with CAMMESA and/or with the MEM is implemented for the debts accumulated by electricity distribution companies as of November 30, 2024 (Note 2.b).
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, despite the fact that 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, 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

Note | 2 | Regulatory framework |
At the date of issuance of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, there exist the following changes with respect to the situation reported by the Company in the Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2024:
a) | Electricity rate situation |
On March 7, 2025, by means of Resolution No. 160/2025, the ENRE approved the values of the Company’s electricity rate schedule, effective from the billing relating to the reading of meters subsequent to 12:00 AM on March 1, 2025, for Levels 1, 2 and 3, as well as for neighborhood and town clubs (CdByP) and public welfare entities, feed-in tariffs for User-Generators, and electricity rate values applicable to the self-managed metering system, in line with the new seasonal reference prices applicable in the March 1-April 30, 2025 period, approved by SE Resolution No. 110/2025.
In this regard, and in accordance with the service quality regulations for the 2025-2030 five-year period, the aforementioned ENRE Resolution approves the average VAD values for the assessment of the service, technical product and commercial service-related penalties set in KWh, replacing the calculation methodology of the previous 2017 RT, as from March 1, 2025, as provided for in ENRE Resolutions Nos. 3 and 8/2025.
Additionally, on April 1, 2025, by means of Resolution No. 224/2025, the ENRE approved the values of the Company’s electricity rate schedule, effective from the billing relating to the reading of meters subsequent to 12:00 AM on April 1, 2025, with an average increase in the CPD of 3.5%.
Furthermore, the scheduled date for the issuance of the resolutions that approve the Company’s electricity rate schedules in the framework of the Five-year Electricity Rate Review (RT), which had been set for March 31, 2025, was postponed to April 30, 2025.
Additionally, on April 3, 2025, by means of Resolution No. 237/2025, the ENRE revoked Section 2 of ENRE Resolution No. 4/2025 dated January 7, 2025, and approved a rate of return on assets in real terms and after taxes of 6.50%, equivalent to a rate in real terms before taxes of 9.99% (increase of 4.5%).
Finally, on April 29, 2025, ENRE Resolution No. 304/2025 approves the electricity rate and regulatory framework for the 2025-2030 period relating to the Five-year Electricity Rate Review (RT).
The aforementioned resolution provides for:
- | The approval of the Company’s electricity rate schedule effective from the billing relating to the reading of meters subsequent to 12:00 AM on May 1, 2025, with a 3% increase in the CPD, plus a monthly increase of 0.42% in real terms starting on June 1, 2025, and continuing in the months thereafter through November 1, 2027. The adjustment will take into consideration the price effect determined by the indexation formula, with a monthly frequency, and the annual adjustment that may arise due to deviations from compliance with the investment plan. |
- | The approval of the adjustment mechanism to be applied on a monthly basis to the CPD, resulting from the indexation formula based on price indexes (CPI and WPI). |
- | The approval of the Efficiency Incentive Factor (E Factor). |
- | The updating of the Company’s Concession Agreement, by approving new texts of the Electricity Rate System, Electricity Rate Setting Procedure, and Quality Regulations and Penalties Sub-annexes, and the Supply Regulations, with the aim of adjusting the regulatory framework, effective from May 1, 2025. |

b) | Agreements on the Regularization of Payment Obligations with CAMMESA – Debt for the purchase of energy in the MEM |
On March 13, 2025, by means of Executive Order No. 186/2025, the PEN approved the 2025 General Budget, which, in its Section 7, provides for a Special System for the Regularization of Payment Obligations with CAMMESA and/or with the MEM for the debts accumulated by electricity distribution companies as of November 30, 2024. For the remaining debts, this system for the regularization of payment obligations provides for a Payment Plan consisting of up to 72 monthly installments, a 12-month grace period, and an interest rate equivalent to up to 50% of that in effect in the MEM.
In this regard, the possibility of converting into pesos the already regularized debt denominated in MWh provided for in the second paragraph of Section 89 of Law No. 27,701 on the 2023 General Budget, which is effective for fiscal year 2025 pursuant to Section 27 of Law No. 24,156, as amended, should also be considered. As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s debt relating to the Payment Plan denominated in MWh totals $ 122,422.
As a condition subsequent of the agreements to be signed, electricity distribution companies must regularize and comply, in due time and in proper form, with the payment of the current billing with CAMMESA and with any other arrangements signed prior to the regularization system. Furthermore, in fulfillment of their obligations and responsibilities, different mechanisms will be implemented to promote the making of investments aimed at improving the electricity system. It is worth mentioning that since April 2024 the Company has been up to date with the payments of CAMMESA’s current billing.
Additionally, a Special System of Credits is implemented for those electricity distribution companies that as of December 31, 2024 have not had unregularized debt with CAMMESA and have settled all 2024 transactions, pursuant to the conditions set by the application authority.
In this regard, on April 21, 2025, by means of Directive No. 1/2025, the Energy Under-secretariat approved the terms of the System for the Regularization of Payment Obligations, which include:
(i) | the outstanding debts with the MEM not yet included in payment plans existing prior to November 30, 2024, payable in 72 monthly installments, with a 12-month grace period, and at the interest rate in effect in the MEM, reduced by 50%, which will be reviewed semi-annually if a variation of 500 basis points occurs; |
(ii) | the outstanding debts with the MEM included in payment plans signed prior to the new system, in the framework of Section 87 of Law No. 27,591 and SE Resolution No. 642/2022, with the duly agreed-upon terms remaining in effect; and |
(iii) | the outstanding debts with the MEM included in payment plans signed prior to the new system, in the framework of Section 89 of Law No.27,701, which provides for the conversion into pesos of the Payment plan in MWh, at the price applicable to the payment of the October 2024 installment, with all other duly agreed-upon terms remaining in effect. |
At the date of issuance of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the new Memorandum of Agreement has not been formalized, with the negotiations between the parties being currently underway.
c) | Framework Agreement |
In accordance with the Agreement entered by edenor, the Federal Government and the Province of Buenos Aires, and in connection with electricity consumption generated in 2025, the ENRE has been informed for validation purposes of the credits against the Federal Government and the Province of Buenos Aires for $ 2,065 million and $ 2,798 million, respectively.

CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES |
At the date of issuance of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the amounts to be contributed by the Federal Government and the Province of Buenos Aires, whose crediting and/or offsetting against debts with CAMMESA for electricity consumption of 2024 is still pending, total $ 2,617 and $ 4,378 respectively. Furthermore, 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.
Note | 3 | Basis of preparation |
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. They were approved for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on May 9, 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.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include all the necessary information in order for the users to properly understand the relevant facts and transactions that have occurred subsequent to the issuance of the last Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 and until the date of issuance of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements. The Company’s Management estimates that they include all the necessary adjustments to fairly present the results of operations for each period. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 and its comparative period as of March 31, 2024 do not necessarily reflect the Company’s results in proportion to the full fiscal year. Therefore, the condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read together with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2024 prepared under IFRS.
The Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements are measured in pesos (the legal currency in Argentina) restated in accordance with that mentioned in this Note, which is also the presentation currency.
Comparative information
The balances as of December 31 and March 31, 2024, as the case may be, disclosed in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements for comparative purposes, arise as a result of restating the annual Consolidated Financial Statements and the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as of those dates, respectively, to the purchasing power of the currency at March 31, 2025, as a consequence of the restatement of financial information described hereunder. Furthermore, in addition to the situation reported in Note 1, certain amounts of the financial statements presented in comparative form have been reclassified in order to maintain consistency of presentation with the amounts of the current periods.
Restatement of financial information
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements, including the figures relating to the previous year/period, have been stated in terms of the measuring unit current at March 31, 2025, in accordance with IAS 29 “Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies”, using the indexes published by the FACPCE. The inflation rate for the period of January 1, 2025 - March 31, 2025 was 8.6%.

Note | 4 | Accounting policies |
The accounting policies adopted for these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the last financial year, which ended on December 31, 2024.
New accounting standards, amendments and interpretations issued by the IASB that are effective as of March 31, 2025 and have been adopted by the Company:
- 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.
There are no new IFRS or IFRIC applicable as from this period that have a material impact on the Company’s condensed interim 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 Statement of Comprehensive 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 applies to annual reporting periods beginning as from January 1, 2027, earlier application permitted.
- IFRS for SMEs: It includes amendments to key sections and incorporates a new section on fair value measurement. It aligns definitions and criteria with full IFRS (IFRS 3, 9, 10, 13 and 15), and introduces changes in assets, liabilities, control, revenue and business combinations concepts. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning as from January 1, 2027, earlier application permitted.

ii. | Fair value estimate |
The Company classifies the measurements of financial instruments at fair value using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the relevance of the variables used for carrying 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).

iii. | Interest rate risk |
Interest rate risk 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 mainly related to its 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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, except for the Class No. 6 Corporate Notes issued by the Company in Argentine pesos, at the private BADLAR floating interest rate plus an annual 7% fixed margin, the bank loans taken with Banco Ciudad and Banco Provincia banks (Note 25), and the Payment plan with CAMMESA that is disclosed in the Other payables account (Notes 2.b and 24), 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.

Note | 6 | Critical accounting estimates and judgments |
The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires the Company’s Management to make estimates and assessments concerning the future, exercise critical judgment 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 permanently 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 condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
In the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, there were no changes in either the critical judgments made by the Company when applying its accounting policies or the sources of estimation uncertainty used with respect to those applied in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Note | 7 | Contingencies and lawsuits |
The provision for contingencies has been recorded to face situations existing at the end of each period that may result in a loss for the Company if one or more future events occurred or failed to occur.

- Protección a los Consumidores y Usuarios de la República Argentina Asociación Civil (Procurar) – Class action for the protection of a constitutional right (“amparo colectivo”)
The court allowed the Company to extend the effects of the provisional measure until April 29, 2025.

Note | 8 | Revenue from sales and energy purchases |
We provide below a brief description of the main services provided by the Company:
Sales of electricity
Small demand segment: Residential use and public lighting (T1) | Relates to the highest demand average recorded over 15 consecutive minutes that is less than 10 kilowatts. In turn, this segment is subdivided into different residential categories based on consumption. This segment also includes a subcategory for public lighting. Users are categorized by the Company according to their consumption. |
Medium demand segment: Commercial and industrial customers (T2) | Relates to the highest demand average recorded over 15 consecutive minutes that is equal to or greater than 10 Kilowatts but less than 50 Kilowatts. The Company agrees with the user the supply capacity. |
Large demand segment (T3) | Relates to the highest demand average recorded over 15 consecutive minutes that is greater than 50 Kilowatts. In turn, this segment is subdivided into categories according to the supply voltage -low, medium or high-, from voltages of up to 1 Kilovolt to voltages greater than 66 Kilovolts. |
Other: (Shantytowns/ Wheeling system) |
Revenue is recognized to the extent that a renewal of the Framework Agreement has been formalized for the period in which the service was accrued. In the case of the service related to the Wheeling system, revenue is recognized when the Company allows third parties (generators and large users) to access the available transmission capacity within its distribution system upon payment of a wheeling fee. |
The KWh price relating to the Company’s sales of electricity is determined by the ENRE by means of the periodic publication of electricity rate schedules (Note 2.a), for those distributors that are regulated by the aforementioned Regulatory Authority, based on the rate setting and adjustment process set forth in the Concession Agreement.
Other services
Right of use of poles | Revenue is recognized to the extent that the rental value of the right of use of the poles used by the Company’s electricity network has been agreed upon for the benefit of third parties. |
Connection and reconnection charges | Relate to revenue accrued for the carrying out of the electricity supply connection of new customers or the reconnection of already existing users. |
20 |
CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES |
Energy purchases
Energy purchase | The Company bills its users the cost of its purchases of energy, which includes charges for purchases of energy and power. The Company purchases electric power at seasonal prices approved by the SE. The price of the Company’s electric power reflects the costs of transmission and other regulatory charges. |
Energy losses |
Energy losses are equivalent to the difference between energy purchased and energy sold. These losses can be classified into technical and non-technical losses. Technical losses represent the energy lost during transmission and distribution within the network as a consequence of the natural heating of the conductors and transformers that carry electricity from power generation plants to users. Non-technical losses represent the remainder of the Company’s energy losses and are mainly due to the illegal use of its services or the theft of energy. Energy losses require that the Company purchase additional energy in order to meet the demand and its Concession Agreement allows it to recover from its users the cost of these purchases up to a loss factor specified in its concession for each rate category. The current loss factor recognized in the tariff by virtue of its concession amounts approximately to 9.1%. |

Based on the guidelines provided for in IFRIC 23 “Uncertainty over income tax treatments”, the Company has restated for inflation the cumulative tax losses and fixed assets depreciation, using the wholesale price index, general level (IPIM) and the consumer price index, general level (IPC), respectively. This criterion has been adopted taking into consideration that the effective income tax rate shows a confiscatory result, in line with the Supreme Court of Justice of Argentina’s decision rendered in the case entitled “Telefónica de Argentina SA and Other vs/EN-AFIP-DGI, General Tax Bureau” on October 25, 2022.
The reconciliation between the income tax benefit (expense) recognized in profit or loss and the amount that would result from applying the applicable tax rate to the accounting income (loss) before taxes, is as follows:

Report on review of interim financial information
To the Shareholders, President and Directors of
Empresa Distribuidora y Comercializadora Norte Sociedad Anónima (Edenor S.A.)
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position of Empresa Distribuidora y Comercializadora Norte Sociedad Anónima (Edenor S.A.) and its subsidiaries (the ‘Group’) as at March 31, 2025 and the related condensed consolidated interim statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month period then ended and selected explanatory notes.
Responsibilities of the Board of Directors
The board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this condensed consolidated interim financial information in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards and is therefore responsible for the preparation and presentation of the condensed interim financial statements mentioned in the first paragraph, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 (IAS 34).
Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, 'Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity'. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.
Emphasis of Matter - Retroactive Restatement of Previously Issued Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
Without modifying our conclusion, we emphasize the information contained in Note 1 to the attached condensed interim consolidated financial statements, which describes the effects of the retroactive restatement of the deferred tax liability generated by the Property, Plant, and Equipment item.
Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, May 9, 2025.
