Bogotá, February 25, 2026 – In 2025, Enel Colombia executed the largest investment plan in its history, with more than COP 2.9 trillion allocated to strengthening the country’s electrical infrastructure, advancing the energy transition through renewable generation, and supporting economic, social, and urban growth. These investments, carried out while maintaining a solid financial profile, reinforce the Company’s role as a key player in the development of the power system, the electrification of mobility, and the reliability of service for millions of people in Bogota, Cundinamarca, and other regions of the country.

As of year-end 2025, Enel Colombia reported consolidated EBITDA of COP 7.3 trillion, representing a 20.7% YoY increase, and net income of COP 3.2 trillion,[1] up 34.9%. Additionally, the Company reduced its net financial debt, improved operating profitability, and preserved its investment-grade rating, reaffirming its commitment to sustainable value creation and the energy transition.

These results reflect the performance of the generation business, which benefited from a higher contribution of proprietary energy, lower purchases in the spot market, and a controlled cost structure. In addition, the distribution business contributed through an increase in regulated remuneration associated with the commissioning and recognition of new infrastructure, which increased the Regulatory Asset Base (RAB).

Furthermore, in December 2025, Standard & Poor’s affirmed Enel Colombia’s international credit rating at ‘BBB-’ with a negative outlook, while Fitch Ratings adjusted the rating from ‘BBB’ to ‘BBB-’ and revised the outlook from negative to stable, in line with the revision of Colombia’s sovereign rating. Both actions occurred in the context of the review of Colombia’s sovereign rating and do not reflect any deterioration in the Company’s operating or financial performance. The ratings remain investment grade and above the sovereign rating.

 

A Firm Commitment to Renewable Energy and Reliability

The Company advanced in the construction and commissioning of the Guayepo III Solar Park, which will reach a maximum capacity of 266 MWp upon completion of its full energization phase.

Colombia’s generation business contributed COP 3.78 trillion to contribution margin, representing a 40.4% increase compared to 2024. This performance was mainly driven by:

  • Improved margins from higher own generation, primarily hydro, with an additional contribution from solar, which reduced the need for energy purchases under contracts and in the spot market, in a context of lower wholesale market prices. In this environment, although generation and sales volumes increased, revenues were pressured by lower prices, particularly for energy traded in the spot market.
  • Lower thermal generation compared to 2024, contributing to reduced fuel costs.
  • Higher revenues from ancillary services (AGC), supported by increased generation.

 

The distribution and energy retail business contributed COP 4.07 trillion to contribution margin, representing a 7.3% YoY increase. This increase was primarily attributable to:

  • Higher regulated remuneration in distribution, associated with the entry into operation and recognition of new electrical infrastructure, which increased the regulatory asset base (RAB).
  • Updates to distribution and commercialization charges in accordance with the applicable tariff methodology and indexation mechanisms, keeping Enel Colombia among the lowest and most competitive energy tariffs in the country.
  • Contributions from complementary businesses, supported by higher margins from value-added products and services, lower provisioning requirements at Crédito Fácil Codensa, and revenue diversification through strategic partnerships within the insurance portfolio.

 

In 2025, Enel’s subsidiaries in Central America (Panama, Guatemala, and Costa Rica) contributed COP 972,420 million to contribution margin, 13.7% higher than in 2024. This result was driven by greater coverage of energy sales with own generation, which remained stable year over year (2,597 GWh), and by complementary energy purchases under more favorable conditions, with a higher participation of the spot market in a lower wholesale price environment. This scenario occurred in a context of lower system demand and improved hydrological conditions compared to the previous year.

Fixed costs totaled COP 1.51 trillion, reflecting an 18% YoY increase, mainly due to higher personnel expenses and operating contracts associated with minimum wage adjustments, inflation (CPI), and the 2022 Collective Bargaining Agreement. This result includes a non-recurring effect of COP 91,367 million related to the recalculation of Bogota’s public lighting charges for the 1998-2004 period, recognized in favor of the Special Administrative Unit of Public Services (UAESP).

As of year-end 2025, consolidated EBITDA reached COP 7.30 trillion, up 20.7% compared to 2024, in line with the operating performance described above.

EBIT totaled COP 6.08 trillion, 31.6% higher than the previous year, mainly explained by the higher EBITDA and a base effect associated with the impairment recorded in 2024 for the Windpeshi project, amounting to COP 202,207 million.

Enel Colombia’s consolidated net income reached COP 3.18 trillion,[1] reflecting the company’s strong performance. This result incorporates certain non-recurring effects:

  • Higher financial expenses, due to the recognition of interest and other costs associated with debt owed to the UAESP amounting to COP 222,343 million, as well as the update of the provision for environmental obligations related to generation plants, totaling COP 56,350 million. These effects were partially offset by lower interest expenses resulting from the reduction in the IBR (Interbank Reference Rate) —the index to which 71% of the debt is linked— and from various liability management transactions carried out during the year, which contributed to improved financial efficiency.
  • Higher income tax expense, in line with the increase in earnings compared to 2024.

 

In Central America, Enel Colombia’s subsidiaries reported net income of COP 382,596 million, representing a 25% YoY increase compared. This growth reflects improved operational efficiency and more effective energy portfolio management, enabling the capture of better market conditions and strengthening business results relative to the same period of the prior year.

During 2025, Enel Colombia executed investments totaling COP 2.94 trillion, representing a 39.4% increase compared to 2024, aimed at strengthening electrical infrastructure and advancing the country’s energy transition.

In Generation, investment focused on the development of new solar capacity, with significant progress in the Guayepo III and Atlantico projects, which continue progressing toward commercial operation. At the same time, scheduled maintenance was carried out on hydro, thermal, and solar assets in Colombia and Central America to maintain plant availability and reinforce system reliability.

In Distribution, Enel Colombia allocated COP 1.29 trillion in investments to strengthen the reliability and capacity of the power grid in Bogota and Cundinamarca, as part of the Bogota–Region 2030 Expansion Plan. Resources were directed toward the expansion and modernization of strategic infrastructure, including new substations, associated transmission lines, and technological upgrades of assets, to support demand growth, enable electric mobility projects, and maintain service continuity and quality for users. In terms of quality, the Enel Corazón de Cundinamarca project stands out, focused on implementing a comprehensive maintenance plan in 19 municipalities within the area of influence. Collectively, these investments are driving a more modern, digital, flexible, and resilient grid.

As of December 31, 2025, Enel Colombia contributed COP 2.13 trillion in tax payments. Of this amount, COP 1.72 trillion corresponds to taxes borne by the company, including COP 903,912 million in income tax self-withholdings. The remaining COP 403,666 million corresponds to taxes collected on behalf of third parties.

As of December 31, 2025, consolidated Net Financial Debt stood at COP 8.28 trillion, reflecting a reduction of COP 299,894 million, equivalent to 3.5% compared to December 2024. This level of indebtedness is consistent with the financing needs associated with the execution of the company’s investment plan.

As part of its liability management strategy, in November 2025 Enel Colombia disbursed COP 775 billion under a sustainable financing facility with Bancolombia, intended to partially finance the Guayepo III and Atlantico solar parks. In the same month, the company entered into long-term loans for COP 300 billion with Banco Popular and COP 125 billion with Davivienda, earmarked for general corporate purposes. Subsequently, in December, it received a disbursement of COP 660 billion, used for the full prepayment of two financial transactions for the same amount, with the objective of optimizing the maturity profile and debt structure. Overall, during 2025 Enel Colombia contracted COP 2.6 trillion in new debt with local and international financial institutions.

 

Dividends

During 2025, Enel Colombia distributed COP 2.06 trillion in ordinary dividends, with payments made in July for COP 888,511 million and in December for COP 1.17 trillion, charged against 2024 earnings.

In parallel, the company received dividends from its operations in Guatemala totaling COP 131,950 million, confirming the strength of the cash flows generated by its Central American operations.
