Bonds overview

Iberdrola maintains the commitment to keep the percentage of structural subordination in order to grant its creditors direct access to the cash flows of debt-free subsidiaries wholly owned by the Group, to give high visibility to centralized cash flows (regulated and long-term contracted) and to maintain an essentially centralized treasury, with a very strong liquidity at the holding company level, which allows the extraction of maximum synergies and efficiencies.

Iberdrola covers its financial needs through different instruments and markets, making diversification one of its strengths, which allows it to deepen a solid financial strategy, fundamentally supported by ESG investors and formats and therefore sustainable over time ("ESG + F"). Among the various instruments and markets, loans with banks, other loans granted by multilateral organizations (such as development banks or export credit agencies) and, mainly, fixed-income bonds issued in the capital markets are noteworthy. The latter represent more than 60% of the Group's debt.

A more detailed account of the latter* is given below.

Bonds issued under the EMTN Programme

Iberdrola conducts the vast majority of its operations in the capital markets under a debt issuance program, the EMTN Programme (Euro Medium Term Notes Programme). Since its set up in 1998, more than 38 billion euros of senior notes have been issued under the EMTN Programme, making it the Group's main financing instrument to date.

The EMTN Programme currently allows a maximum outstanding amount of EUR 30 billion. Since its update in June 2022, the EMTN Programme also allows the possibility of issuing subordinated bonds (hybrids).
