EnBW Reports Strong Earnings Growth and Increased Investment in Energy Transition
(IN BRIEF) EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG has announced its financial results for the first nine months of the 2023 financial year. The company reported revenue of approximately €34.7 billion and Group operating earnings (adjusted EBITDA) of €4.9 billion during this period. This performance exceeded expectations and showed a significant increase compared to the prior year, driven by positive earnings in the Sustainable Generation Infrastructure segment. Due to the strong results, EnBW has revised its full-year 2023 guidance, now expecting adjusted EBITDA in the range of €5.9 billion to €6.5 billion. The company plans to invest an average of €4.5 billion per year in the coming years, with a focus on renewable energy, grid infrastructure, and electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
(PRESS RELEASE) KARLSRUHE, 13-Nov-2023 — /EuropaWire/ — EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG generated revenue of approximately €34.7 billion and Group operating earnings (adjusted EBITDA) of €4.9 billion in the first nine months of the 2023 financial year. The operating result was thus better than expected, and significantly higher than in the prior-year period (up 64.6%), which was severely impacted by the war in Ukraine. This shows that the positive earnings trend through the first half-year continued in the third quarter. The previous guidance for the full year 2023 (€4.7 billion to €5.2 billion) has therefore been revised at both Group and segment level. For the Group, based on the Group earnings in the first nine months, EnBW now expects adjusted EBITDA of €5.9 billion to €6.5 billion for the full year.
The main driver of the year-on-year increase was the segment Sustainable Generation Infrastructure. There, continued positive earnings performance through the third quarter in thermal power generation and in energy trading as a result of high market volatility resulted in significant earnings growth to €3.5 billion in the first nine months of 2023 (up 82.4%). Positive factors included continued higher wholesale prices for generated electricity and the absence of negative effects related to the cessation of gas supplies from Russia and gas procurement to replace the shortfall as a result of the Russia-Ukraine war.
The trend in gross investments during the first six months continued in the third quarter. At €2.8 billion, gross investments were higher in the first nine months of the 2023 financial year than in the first nine months of the previous year (up 52%). Almost 80% of investments targeted growth projects.
“Our good earnings in the first nine months secures our growth investments in the accelerated implementation of the energy transition. Ultimately, we plan to invest an average of €4.5 billion per year over the next few years. Most of this will go into the expansion of renewables, the grid infrastructure and charging infrastructure for electric vehicles and climate-friendly, low-carbon dispatchable generation. Around 80% of our investments will be made in Baden-Württemberg and Germany”, said EnBW CFO Thomas Kusterer.
Adjusted Group net profit attributable to the shareholders of EnBW AG increased to €2.36 billion in the third quarter (previous year: €1.1 billion).
Performance by segment
Adjusted EBITDA in the segmentSmart Infrastructure for Customers(Sales) amounted to around €225 million, a decrease of around 26% from the previous year’s period. The fall in earnings is due to a negative impact in the amount of €276.9 million from the deconsolidation of bmp Greengas GmbH – an indirect shareholding of EnBW – and related writedowns on receivables. This negative earnings performance is partly offset by lower seasonal variation in procurement prices in Sales compared to the previous year. The full-year guidance for adjusted EBITDA has been lowered to between €350 million and €450 million (previously between €400 million and €500 million).
In the segmentSystem Critical Infrastructure(Grids), the adjusted EBITDA of approximately €1.43 billion is almost 50% higher than in the previous year. The background to this is a significant increase in grid revenues as a result of increased investment in grid expansion and of adjusting prices to reflect higher expenses for the grid reserve and redispatch in order to safeguard security of supply. The previous full-year guidance of adjusted EBITDA between €1.6 billion and €1.9 billion remains unchanged.
Adjusted EBITDA in the segmentSustainable Generation Infrastructure(Renewable Energies and Thermal Generation and Trading) increased significantly year on year to €3.46 billion. The guidance for adjusted EBITDA in the full year has been raised to between €4.3 billion and €4.6 billion (previously between €2.9 billion and €3.2 billion).
InRenewable Energies, adjusted EBITDA fell slightly by 6.4% to approximately €785.8 million. The positive earnings performance in run-of-river hydropower and from the expansion of wind and solar farms in Germany and France was more than offset by falling prices in the direct marketing of generated wind and solar power.
InThermal Generation and Trading, adjusted EBITDA grew strongly in the first nine months, increasing by 18% year on year to €2.68 billion. This was partly due to higher wholesale prices for forward sales of electricity than in the previous year. In addition, the prior-year period included negative effects due to the curtailment and cessation of gas supplies as a result of the Russia-Ukraine war; those effects now no longer apply.
The increase innon-operating EBITDA was mainly due to remeasurement effects on hedging transactionsfor better presentation of the actual financial outcome. Also included are subsidies for network charges, although these will be reduced by corresponding expenses over the course of the year. Negative effects relating to a subsidiary’s battery storage systems also partially offset the increase.
