29. INFORMATION BY BUSINESS SEGMENT (continued)
Railway traffic safety elements
The sales of railway traffic safety elements remained almost constant compared to last year, the orders for this production segment
from prestigious companies being largely dependent on the pace of modernization of the railway infrastructure, given that CFR
Infrastructura is the final beneficiary of these services.
Electricity production from renewable sources and Electricity supply service
The production and supply of energy is a domain regulated by the National Energy Regulatory Authority, the company holding the
producer license since 2007. The company owns 10 small hydropower plants in the Suceava River Basin, which have been
modernized and automated over time, reaching an installed power of 5.5 MW. In 2023, the energy production in its own small
hydropower plants was 11,669 MWh, in line with the Multiannual average of approx. 12,000 MWh.
The profitability of the company's licensed activity was significantly affected by the legislative regulations implemented in 2022, so
that the company's production and supply activity generated a loss in 2023. For 2024, the management continues the activities of
identifying opportunities for the best possible capitalization through the client portfolio of energy produced by the 10 micro-hydro
power plants and secured by contracts with large players in the Romanian energy market.
Rental and utility services
Electromagnetica manages approximately 35,500 sqm of spaces for rent in Bucharest and 3,500 sqm in Varteju, Ilfov County. At the
end of 2023, for the headquarters in Calea Rahovei 266-268, the average rental rate was 86 %. For the spaces in Varteju (Magurele)
commune, the rental rate was 94.92%. According to expert reports, the stock of modern office space reached 3.19 million square
meters, excluding buildings owned by those who occupy them, while the vacancy rate increased slightly, to 14.9%. An important
thing to mention is that there is still a significant difference between the vacancy rates reported for office classes in Bucharest,
namely 12.5% for Class A and 23% for Class B.
The activity of renting and supplying utilities recorded an increase of 8% compared to the previous year, the result of the increase in
the euro/leu average rate, which evolved favorably compared to 2021, the changes in tariffs per square meter and the increasing
changes in tariffs for utilities. Compared to the previous year, the structure of office rental spaces decreased, the share of spaces
intended for service provision increased and those for production and storage remained relatively the same.
Electromagnetica's efforts continue to provide tenants with quality services, with various facilities (on-site gym, cafeteria/grill,
English garden with green spaces) and at competitive prices, in conditions of a very competitive real estate market. In the Center-
West area (of which we are part) the offer of available spaces has increased from year to year and the trend for storage and
production spaces is to move to the outskirts of the city (considering also the traffic restrictions)
