Milan, 12 May 2020 - At today's meeting of the Board of Directors of A2A S.p.A., chaired by Giovanni Valotti, the Board examined and approved the quarterly information as at 31 March 2020.

The first quarter of 2020 was characterised by the onset of the COVID-19 emergency, which, starting March, has had a major impact on the world's financial and economic framework.

The economic/financial results of the first quarter have been affected by both the weak energy scenario already seen starting the fourth quarter 2019, and the initial effects directly relating to the medical emergency. Despite the context characterised by a decline in the demand and very critical pricing dynamics, results were in any case satisfactory.

As regards the national energy scenario, the net demand for electricity in Italy during the first quarter of 2020 was 76,978 GWh, showing a decline of 4.5% on the volumes recorded for the same period of

1

2019; during the same period, the demand for natural gas dropped by 6.5% on the same period of 2019, coming in at 23,876 Mcm.

During the first quarter of 2020, moreover, the decreasing trend in the prices of commodities already in progress was worsened by the outbreak of the medical emergency: the PUN baseload showed a decline of 33.4%, coming in at € 39.6/MWh, as compared with the € 59.4/MWh booked for the first quarter of 2019; average prices are down, even for the price during peak load hours (-31.3% for the PUN peak load, which comes in at € 44.9/MWh).

As concerns the gas at the PSV, the average price during the first quarter 2020 was € 11.3/MWh, down 45.5% on the first quarter of the previous year.

During the period, the A2A Group took action to limit the impacts of the medical emergency as much as possible, taking all preventive steps necessary to guarantee the health and safety of its employees, enabling business to continue and work to be carried out with the extension, insofar as organisationally possible, of smart working.

The following are the main indicators:

millions of euro	3 months of	3 months of 2019		%
2020
Revenues	1,707	2,110	-403	-19.1%
Gross Operating Margin -	331	328	+3	+0.9%
EBITDA
Net Operating Income -	196	197	-1	-0.5%
EBIT
Net profit	112	104	+8	+7.7%

In the first three months of 2020, the Revenues of the A2A Group amounted to 1,707 million euro, down 19.1% on the first three months of last year.

The reduction in revenues is mainly due to the lesser prices and volumes brokered on the wholesale markets of both electricity and gas, as well as the lesser sales made on the free market, in particular to large customers.

The EBITDA equalled 331 million euro, an increase of 3 million euro compared to the first three months of 2019 (+1%).

Net of non-recurring items (+1 million euro in the first three months of 2020; +5 million euro in the same period of 2019), ordinary gross operating margin increased by 7 million euro (+2%).

EBIT, amounting to 196 million euro, was down by 1 million euro compared to the first three months of 2019 (197 million euro). This change is due to:

• increase in EBITDA, as described above (+3 million euro);
• increase in amortisation/depreciation mainly in relation to investments made last year and the write-back of the A2A Gencogas plants at 31 December 2019 (-9 million euro);
• lesser net provisions mainly due to greater releases of the provisions for risks and surplus receivables and to lesser provisions made (+5 million euro).

2

Group Net Profit in the first three months of 2020 amounted to 112 million euro, up 7.7% on the same period of 2019. This change is due to the reasons given above, as well as to the reduction in net financial charges and minorities.

The Net Financial Position at 31 March 2020 amounted to 3,297 million euro (3,154 million euro as at 31 December 2019). Excluding the impacts deriving from the change in scope, the NFP at 31 March 2020 came to 3,157 million euro.

A2A Group - Results by Business Unit

The following table shows the composition of the Gross Operating Margin by Business Unit:

Millions of euro	03.31.2020	03.31.2019	Change	Change %
Generation and Trading	58	57	1	1,8%
Market	63	60	3	5,0%

Corporate	-7	-5	-2	n.s.
Total	331	328	3	0,9%

Generation and Trading Business Unit

In the first three months of 2020, the Generation and Trading Business Unit contributed to fulfil the sales demand of the A2A Group through production by the plants it owns amounting to approximately 3.8 TWh (4.4 TWh at 31 March 2019).

Thermoelectric output totalled 3.0 TWh (3.5 TWh in the same period of last year): the negative change is due to the lesser production of CCGT plants for the reduction of the contestable energy demand and the prolonged downtime of the Monfalcone plant, penalised by a not sufficiently remunerative pricing scenario.

Hydroelectric production, of 0.8 TWh, is basically in line with the same period of last year (-1%): the lesser production of the Calabria reservoirs, which the previous year had benefited from significant hydraulicity, have been almost entirely offset by an increase in production by the plants of the northern zone.

Finally, photovoltaic production is up by 5% during the first three months of the year, coming in at approximately 26 GWh.

The revenues amounted to 906 million euro, down by 405 million euro compared to the same period of the previous year. The reduction was mainly due to the lesser volumes brokered on the wholesale electricity and gas markets, as well as by the decline in prices.

The EBITDA of the Generation and Trading Business Unit was 58 million euro (57 million euro in the first quarter of 2019).

The negative effects suffered by the energy generation sector due to the weakness of the scenario and the decline in the contestable demand following the spread of COVID-19, were neutralised during the period by an effective hedging strategy and the good results achieved on the ancillary services market

3

("MSD"). The greater revenues from the feed-in tariff and the higher margins of the San Filippo del Mela plant also made a positive contribution, penalised last year by expensive imbalance fees that were not contractually recognised.

In the period in question the Investments of the Generation Business Unit amounted to around 8 million euro, in line with Q1 2019.

Market Business Unit

In the first three months of 2020, the Market Business Unit recorded 3.8 TWh of electricity sales, up 14.6% compared to the same period of the previous year and 940 Mcm gas sales (-4.9% compared to the first 3 months of 2019).

The increase in the electricity sector is due to the greater quantities sold to customers on the free market, partly offset by the lesser sales made to customers served under the protected and "Salvaguardia" regime. Instead, in the gas sector, a decline is recorded in sales mainly due to a reduction in volumes supplied, which, in turn, derived both from an unfavourable thermal trend as compared with the previous year, and, above all in regard to (large and small) industrial customers, from the slowing of all economic activities consequent to the measures adopted to limit the spread of COVID-19.

Revenues came to 782 million euro (869 million euro at 31 March 2019), down 10% following the decline in the unitary prices of gas and electricity recorded during the first quarter of 2020 as compared with the same period of the previous year and the lesser quantities of gas sold.

Market Business Unit EBITDA equalled 63 million euro (60 million euro in the first 3 months of 2019). The change was brought about by an increase in the energy retail segment (+4 million euro) and a public lighting segment that was essentially unchanged, coupled with a decline in the energy solutions segment (-1 million euro).

Growth in the energy retail segment is due to the increase in the number of customers on the free electricity and gas market (+52 thousand on end 2019), to the increase in unitary margins of customers on the free electricity market, also thanks to the significant reduction in imbalance fees, the update of the QVD, the tariff component applied to customers of the protected service to cover the marketing costs of retail gas sales (resolution 577/2019/R/gas). These positive effects more than offset the impact deriving from the reduction in gas sales.

The energy solutions sector recorded a reduction in margins that can be traced both to the lesser income from the sale of white certificates and the reduction in opportunities to optimise the photovoltaic energy dispatch profiles.

In the period in question, the Investments Business Unit came to around 8 million euro (6 million at 31 March 2019).

4

Waste Business Unit

During the first quarter of 2020, the quantity of waste collected (0.4 million tonnes) is basically in line with last year, whilst the quantity of waste disposed of (0.8 million tonnes) is down 7.9%, mainly connected not only to the conferrals to the Grottaglie landfill, operative in January 2019, but also to the lesser production of waste as a consequence of the block to production resolved nationally to limit the spread of COVID-19.

The quantities of electricity and heat sold, on the other hand, have risen respectively by 5.0% and 3.5% on the first quarter of 2019.

During the first three months of the year, the Waste Business Unit recorded revenues of 274 million euro (270 million euro at 31 March 2019).

The EBITDA of the Waste Business Unit equalled 78 million euro, in line with the same period of last year.

The reduction in margins determined by the lower sale prices of the electricity produced by WTE plants, by the reduction in the quantities disposed of and the higher costs of disposal, has been almost entirely absorbed by the lesser labour costs recorded in the Collection segment, the higher quantities of electricity produced, the positive conferral price trend (in particular of urban waste) and by the contribution made by the newly-acquired plants through recent M&As (the processing lines of Electrometal, a company operating in the treatment and recovery of waste coming from different industrial processes, acquired in late 2019, and the biomass generation plant, Agritrè, acquired in February 2020).

Investments made in the first three months of 2020 came to 31 million euro, up 48% on the first quarter of 2019 (21 million euro at 31 March 2019). The increase in the Business Unit's investments in 2020 is due to the launch of interventions to develop a new line for the Parona waste-to-energy plant (development envisaged in the new A2A Group 2020-2024 Strategic Plan).

Networks and District Heating Business Unit

Please note that starting January 2020, A2A Smart City, the company supplying telecommunications and video surveillance services (management of fixed and mobile telephony lines and data transmission lines, as well as services connected with the management and development of communications infrastructures), joined the Networks and District Heating Business Unit.

Electricity distributed totalled 2.7 TWh, a decrease of 7% over the first three months of 2019. The quantities of gas distributed reached 1,278 Mcm, down 6.3% (1,364 Mcm at 31 March 2019) and the water distributed was 19 Mcm, in line with the quantities of the same period of the previous year.

Heat sales of the Business Unit amounted to 1.4 TWh, an increase of 1.3% compared to the first half of 2019, thanks to the acquisition of new customers.

The Networks and District Heating Business Unit's revenues amounted to 317 million euro (329 million euro as at 31 March 2019). The reduction in revenues is mainly due to the district heating segment, in particular as a result of the reduction in cogeneration electricity and heat sales prices.

Networks and District Heating Business Unit EBITDA amounted to 139 million euro (138 million euro as at 31 March 2019).

5

Net of non-recurring items (+1 million euro in Q1 2019, substantially null in the first three months of 2020), the Business Unit's Ordinary EBITDA grew by 2 million euro (+1% on the same period of the previous year).

The district heating segment made a positive contribution, thanks to the increased quantities sold following the commercial development, which more than offset the higher environmental costs (CO2), as did the water cycle, through lesser network operation and maintenance costs. The Business Unit's other segments recorded Q1 2020 results substantially in line with the first quarter of 2019.

Period investments equalled 69 million euro (69 million euro at 31 March 2019).

8

• provisions for risks, charges and liabilities for landfills drop, net of the effects of the first-time consolidations for 5 million euro, by 13 million euro. The period change is the net result of period utilisations (12 million euro), mainly referring to decommissioning and landfill costs (5 million euro), the settlement of legal disputes (3 million euro) and additional utilisations (4 million euro).

The Net Financial Position at 31 March 2020 amounted to 3,297 million euro (3,154 million euro as at 31 December 2019).

The gross debt amounted to 3,636 million euro, up by 25 million euro compared to 31 December 2019. Cash and cash equivalent amounted to 307 million euros, down by 127 million euros.

Other financial assets, net totalled 32 million euro, showing a net increase of 9 million euro.

The fixed rate and hedged portion of the gross debt amounts to 80%. The duration is 5.3 years.

Period net cash flows generation was negative for 3 million euro, in addition to the effects deriving from the change in scope for 140 million euro.

Regarding net cash flow generation:

• Net Working Capital, calculated as the sum of trade receivables, trade payables and inventories, generated a worsening of approximately 282 million euros in the net financial position, due to the 204 million euro increase in trade receivables, the 158 million euro decrease in trade payables and the 80 million euro decrease in gas and other fuel inventories. The above changes are mainly due to the seasonal effect.
  The Group occasionally performs non-recourse credit assignments.
  At 31 March 2020 receivables that have not yet expired, assigned by the Group outright and written-off from the assets in compliance with the requirements of IFRS 9, were nil (also nil at 31 December 2019). The Group has no rotating factoring programs.

• payment of net financial charges, taxes and funds absorbed 58 million euro of cash; the investments in the period, as detailed below, absorbed resources of 123 million euro;
• the change in the consolidation scope worsened the net financial position by 140 million euro.

Outlook - Effects from COVID-19

The first quarter of 2020 suffered from the effects directly brought about by the COVID-19 emergency only starting from March and the indirect effects, in particular on the prices of commodities, as of February. The forward prices of commodities continue to be weak and A2A believes it reasonable to consider that the negative effects of the lock-down may have a greater impact over the next few quarters. Its more precise quantification will, however, only be possible once the methods and speed for the recovery of economic activities,are clarified. At present, on the basis of the simulations performed and the plans to mitigate the effects envisaged, the Group believes it will in any case achieve satisfactory, positive economic results in 2020, substantially in line with expectations, and also maintain a balanced capital structure.

On May 7, 2020, Guardia di Finanza notified Linea Ambiente a decree of preventive seizure issued by the investigating judge of Taranto (GIP) according to Legislative Decree 231/01 for corruption offences.

The seizure order aims at the direct confiscation of Company's assets, up to the amount of 26,272,298.13 euro, equal to the "profit of the crime" as reconstructed by the Public Prosecutor. Currently, the Registro delle Imprese gave notice to Linea Ambiente that the seizure is noted on the share capital of Linea Ambiente; in addition, the seizure is recorded on the registration report issued by the Registro delle Imprese for Lomellina Energia.

The Company is evaluating further measures for related court actions which can be defined only after having access to the documents related to the order.

Alternative performance indicators

Certain alternative performance indicators not envisaged by the International Financial Reporting Standards endorsed by the European Union (IFRS-EU) are presented in the press release to give a better view of the A2A Group's performance. In accordance with the recommendations in the ESMA Guidelines published in October 2015, the indicators are described below, with an explanation of their content and calculation base:

• Gross operating margin (EBITDA) is an alternative measure of operating performance, calculated as the sum of the net operating profit and amortization, depreciation and write- downs;
• Gross operating margin before non-recurring items is an alternative performance indicator calculated as the gross operating profit described above by excluding non-recurringtransactions or operations (e.g., adjustments relating to previous years, extraordinary redundancy plans, etc.);
• Net financial position (NFP) is an indicator of financial structure. This indicator corresponds to the financial debts net of liquidity and equivalents and current and non-current financial assets (financial assets and securities other than equity investments).
• Capex is an alternative performance indicator used by the A2A Group as a financial target within the scope of internal Group presentations (business plans) and external documents (presentations to financial analysts and investors). It is a useful measure of the resources employed to maintain and develop the A2A Group's investments.
