|Element List||Explanation|

|The reason of the increase (decrease) in the net profit during the current year compared to the last year is|| The increase in the net profit this year compared to the prior year is mainly attributable to 1) higher operating revenue mainly driven by the growth in demand for electric power and the increase in the balancing account amounts compared to the prior year, 2) higher other income mainly due to recorded non-recurring items, and 3) higher income from equity accounted investees mainly due to the change in classification of SEC’s interest in IPPs, from being accounted as joint operations to joint ventures.

|

Furthermore, higher operating revenue as well as higher other income have been partially offset by higher purchased power costs and fuel costs, which were mainly driven by growth in demand for electric power. This in addition to the increase in provisions for receivables from electricity sales and others, and a marginal increase in net financing costs.
