A2A Lifts Investment and Green Debt Share as 2025 Profits Dip on Hydro Normalization

A2A SpA ( (IT:A2A) ) has shared an announcement.

A2A SpA reported 2025 investments of €1.7 billion, up 11% year on year, largely directed to electricity network upgrades, greater generation flexibility and circular economy projects, with about 70% of spending eligible under the EU Taxonomy. The group also advanced in sustainable finance, lifting the share of green and sustainability-linked debt to 83% after issuing a second European Green Bond and signing a long-term wind power PPA with ERG.

Despite a challenging and volatile energy environment, adjusted revenues rose 9% to €14 billion, supported by the consolidation of Duereti and higher electricity volumes, while adjusted EBITDA slipped 4% to €2.24 billion mainly due to normalized hydro output, though it would have grown 4% excluding that effect. Adjusted net profit fell 16% to €686 million as lower EBITDA, higher depreciation from heavy investment and increased financial expenses weighed on earnings.

The company’s balance sheet improved, with net financial position reduced to €5.47 billion and leverage, measured as adjusted NFP/EBITDA, easing to 2.4x, reflecting strong operating cash flow, disciplined capex and proceeds from disposals. In this context, the board proposed a 4% higher dividend of €0.104 per share, signaling confidence in the sustainability of shareholder returns alongside an updated €23 billion strategic investment plan focused on energy transition, digitalization and circular economy.

Operationally, A2A expanded its electricity infrastructure, boosting installed network capacity by 71% and points of delivery by 65%, aided by the Duereti acquisition, while sales of green electricity rose 30% to 11.6 TWh and the free-market mass‑market customer base grew 3%. The group also inaugurated a liquid‑cooled data center in Brescia that recovers heat for district heating, underscoring its push into innovative, low‑carbon infrastructure and supporting its positioning as a key player in Italy’s energy transition.

The most recent analyst rating on (IT:A2A) stock is a Hold with a EUR2.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on A2A SpA stock, see the IT:A2A Stock Forecast page.
