eNGie ENGIE ENERGÍA CHILE REPORTED EBITDA OF US $ 188 MILLION AND NET INCOME OF US $ 30 MILLION IN THE FIRST HALF OF 2021 . EBITDA AMOUNTED TO US $ 122 MILLION IN THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2021 , AN 18 % INCREASE COMPARED TO THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2020. THE EBITDA INCREASE IS PRIMARILY EXPLAINED BY THE DEMAND RECOVERY IN BOTH THE REGULATED AND UNREGULATED CLIENT SEGMENTS . Operating revenues amounted to US $ 721 million in the first half of 2021 , a 10 % increase compared to the second quarter of 2020 , mainly due to the demand recovery in the regulated and unregulated segments and the increase in average realized energy prices explained by higher CPI and fuel prices . EBITDA amounted to US $ 188 million in the first half of the year , a 7 % decrease compared to the first half of 2020 , mainly due to an increase in average energy supply costs and higher spot prices , particularly in the first quarter . This was due to weak hydro generation , lower gas availability , and generally lower performance of coal plants in the system . Net Income reached US $ 30 million in the first half of 2021 , a 55 % decrease compared to the first half of 2020. This was basically due to the decrease in operating results and one - time financial expenses related to the sale of accounts receivable born from the application of the temporary price stabilization mechanism to regulated clients pursuant to Law # 21,185 dated November 2019 ( " PEC ” ) .
