Slow Economic Recovery in Brazil Damps Our View of Enel Americas' EGP Acquisition

Charles Fishman, CFA Equity Analyst

Analyst Note

| Charles Fishman, CFA |

We are lowering our fair value estimate for Enel Americas to $10 per ADR from $10.50 as we have become less bullish on the recent transaction in which the South American utility acquired the renewable energy assets of Enel Green Power’s Latin American business. The merger, completed in April, adds over 3 gigawatts of operating renewable generation assets. It also expands Enel Americas’ utility operations, the largest in Latin America, into Guatemala, Panama, and Costa Rica.
