Adjusted Net Profit Growth
Adjusted net profit rose 11% year-on-year to EUR 1,865 million in Q1 2026; excluding negative FX effects (~EUR 99 million) adjusted net profit would have grown ~17%.
Adjusted EBITDA and Networks Strength
Group adjusted EBITDA reached EUR 4.1 billion, up 2.4% YoY, driven by Networks. Networks adjusted EBITDA grew 9% to EUR 2,048 million (14% ex-FX), with strong U.K. (+32% to GBP 447m) and U.S. (+22% to $612m) performances.
Robust Investment Program and RAB Expansion
Investment was EUR 2,705 million in Q1 and EUR 14.5 billion over the last 12 months, focused on networks (over half in U.K. and U.S.). Regulated asset base increased to EUR 53 billion (c. +8% YoY) and transmission RAB rose ~29% to EUR 14 billion.
Asset Rotation Closed (Mexico) and Balance Sheet Improvements
Closing of the Mexico transaction completed the asset-rotation target, generated capital gains (expected several hundreds of millions EUR) and helped pro forma net debt reach EUR 50.3 billion. Liquidity stood at EUR 21.4 billion (covering ~23 months).
Upgraded 2026 Guidance
Management upgraded 2026 guidance to expect >8% growth in adjusted net profit (excluding capital gains from asset rotation), supported by networks growth, higher rates and ongoing renewables additions.
Renewables and Operational Output Gains
Renewable output improved: offshore production +42% YoY, U.K. wind production +40% YoY. Hydro reserves at record levels. Capacity added ~3,300 MW in the last 12 months (≈2 GW wind, 1 GW solar, >300 MW storage).
Improving Credit Metrics and Cash Flow
7% increase in FFO and improved credit ratios: adjusted net debt/EBITDA decreased to 3.4x (from 3.7x), adjusted FFO/adjusted net debt reached ~24% (vs 21.2% prior), adjusted leverage ~44% (vs 47% prior).
AI and Digital Efficiency Initiatives
Large-scale AI program launched with 300–400+ initiatives identified (company cited >300 and later nearly 400 projects), ~70% generative AI, ~70% developed in-house; expected to drive efficiency and new revenue opportunities.
