Net operating revenue for the first half of 2024, amounting to approximately EUR 205.0 million, was approximately EUR 21.3 million (-9%) below the comparable prior-year figure of EUR 226.3 million (after deduction of electricity price caps). Operating adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (operating EBITDA) for the first six months of 2024, at EUR 126.1 million1), represent a significant decrease of approximately EUR 25.6 million1) (-17 %1)) compared to the prior-year figure of EUR 151.6 million. This results in operating adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (operating EBIT) for the first half of 2024, which, at EUR 65.3 million1), shows a significant decrease of approximately EUR 28.2 million1) (-30%1)) compared to the prior-year figure of EUR 93.5 million. “In the first half of the year, we saw an unusual combination of lower power generation due to weather, a simultaneously lower price level and at times negative prices that led to uncompensated shutdowns. We cannot predict weather as well as shutdowns and will therefore see later in the year whether the risk of an adjustment of the guidance for the full year 2024 increases or decreases,” elaborates Dr Christoph Husmann, Spokesman of the Management Board and CFO of Encavis AG, on the half-year results with respect to the guidance for the full year 2024. In line with the earnings trend in the first six months of fiscal year 2024, cash flow from operating activities decreased by approximately EUR 21.0 million1) (-19 %1)) to approximately EUR 92.5 million1)) compared to the previous year's figure of EUR 113.5 million. This results in an operating cash flow per share of EUR 0.571) in the first half of 2024 (previous year: EUR 0.70). The equity ratio as of 30th June 2024 decreased slightly to 32.2% from 33.2% at the end of fiscal year 2023. Against the background of the Encavis Group’s business strategy focused on qualitative growth, the expected reduction in electricity price levels and the decline in revenue at Encavis Asset Management, the net revenue decline can only be partially offset, despite Stern Energy’s 7.8 million euro increase in operating revenue (up 30%) and expanded energy generation capacity in the current financial year. The coming months will show whether the risk of an adjustment to the guidance for the full year 2024 increases or decreases. Depending on weather conditions and regulatory interventions, the Management Board will analyse the extent to which these developments can affect the guidance for the full year 2024.
