RNS Number : 4898H Helleniq Energy Holdings S.A. 13 November 2025
Maroussi, 13 November 2025
3Q/9M 2025 financial results
3Q25 Adjusted EBITDA at €365m and €766m in 9M25 - Improved refinery
operations and international sales - Enerwave (ex ELPEDISON) now fully
consolidated - Interim dividend of €0.20 per share
HELLENiQ ENERGY Holdings S.A. (the "Company") announced its 3Q25 consolidated
financial results, with Adjusted EBITDA amounting to €365m and Adjusted Net
Income to €186m.
Refined products sales reached a record high in 3Q25. The improvement in
international refining margins combined with strong operational performance,
led to an uplift in profitability. At the same time, the Fuels Marketing
stronger performance, both in Greece and international markets, drove the
sector's contribution to a record level. As a result, 9M25 profitability
exceeded 9M24, with Adjusted EBITDA amounting to €766m, despite a weaker
1H25.
Reported Net Income reached €149m, primarily due to the decline in
international crude oil prices during 3Q25 and the resulting inventory
valuation impact.
Based on the 9M25 results and positive outlook for FY25, the Board of
Directors has decided to distribute an interim dividend of €0.20 per share
to shareholders.
Main developments - Strategy implementation
Group strategy focuses on the further developing and growing, the two key
pillars (Downstream and Green Utility) of Vision 2025, in addition to the
continuous operational improvement across our business activities. Aiming at a
realistic and balanced energy transition path, strategic priorities include
continuous growth of Downstream operations and our international footprint,
profitable growth in the power and gas business, including Renewable Energy
Sources (RES), and strengthening of the hydrocarbon exploration and production
portfolio in Western and Southern Greece.
In Refining, Supply & Trading, the Group is implementing energy autonomy
and efficiency projects, while assessing high-return investments in production
units. Furthermore, it has recently completed the restructuring of its
international S&T model, looking forward to further capitalizing on its
strong Mediterranean and international market presence, especially over a
period of considerable geopolitical and European policy developments.
In Marketing, ongoing investments and transformation initiatives have
delivered sustained record performance in both domestic and international
markets. The Company remains focused on upgrading customer experience,
optimizing its product portfolio, expanding company-owned retail stations in
Greece, and pursuing targeted growth opportunities in Southeast Europe. A key
milestone in this strategy is the commencement of operations of the
Thessaloniki-Skopje pipeline, after 13 years. This development is anticipated
to significantly improve the oil products supply capabilities to North
Macedonia and neighboring markets, strengthening Greece's pivotal role in the
regional energy landscape.
In the RES business, a 506 MW portfolio is in operation, while an additional
616 MW in Southeast Europe and 350 MW in Greece are under development. The
objective is to reach 1.5 GW of installed capacity by 2028, through geographic
diversification across five countries and balanced technological development
between wind, solar, and storage projects.
On 15 July 2025, the Group completed the acquisition of the former ELPEDISON,
and on 12 November officially unveiled its new corporate identity as Enerwave,
marking a significant milestone in its strategic transformation. Moving on,
the company intends to revise its commercial policy through the introduction
of new products, improvement of customer interface, and closer collaboration
with other entities within the Group, both domestically and internationally.
Together with the Group's RES portfolio, this establishes a fully integrated
electricity and natural gas platform, with total invested capital of
approximately €1bn and a material contribution to consolidated results.
In Exploration & Production, HELLENiQ Upstream Holdings continues to
expand its portfolio, with an active presence in all licensed offshore areas
in Southern and Western Greece. In October, the HELLENiQ Upstream-Chevron JV
was awarded four new offshore exploration licenses in Greece. In parallel,
HELLENiQ ENERGY, Energean, and ExxonMobil reached an agreement for
ExxonMobil's farm-in (majority stake) into Block 2 in the northwestern Ionian
Sea, with HELLENiQ ENERGY retaining 10%. The consortium plans to carry out an
exploration drilling campaign in 2027, marking the next major step in
assessing the region's hydrocarbon potential.
Strong international refining margins amid lower crude oil prices - Lower
electricity prices - Higher EUA prices
In 3Q25, Brent crude oil prices averaged $69/bbl, 14% lower y-o-y, while the
EUR/USD strengthened to 1.17 vs 1.10 in 3Q24.
Natural gas and electricity prices were 7% and 30% lower, respectively,
compared to 3Q24. CO₂ prices (EUAs) averaged €73/ton, 7% higher y-o-y.
Low inventories and unplanned refinery outages supported stronger diesel and
gasoline cracks, the Group's main oil products. As a result, benchmark
refining margins were substantially higher, with our refineries' system
benchmark margin averaging $8.5/bbl in 3Q25 (3Q24 at $3.1/bbl).
Increased demand for fuels in all markets
Domestic market demand in 3Q25 reached 1.7m MT, 0.5% higher y-o-y, with
automotive fuels consumption increasing by 1.1% y-o-y. Demand for aviation
fuels grew by 7%, while marine fuel consumption increased by 5%, driven by
higher demand for marine diesel, following new sulfur content regulations in
the Med, effective 1 May 2025.
Balance sheet and capital expenditure
Operating cash flow in 3Q25 reached €479m, supported by profitability and
lower working capital requirements. Capital expenditure, including the
Enerwave acquisition, amounted to €300m in the quarter and €523m
year-to-date, significantly higher than in 2024. Net debt remained broadly
stable at €2.5bn, or €2.1bn excluding non-recourse project finance, while
total financing costs 10% lower y-o-y due to lower base rates and spreads.
Andreas Shiamishis, Group CEO, commented on the results:
"A strong third quarter led 9M25 Adjusted EBITDA at €766m, driven by a
favorable refining environment, ongoing operational improvements, and
continued international expansion. This is the first quarter where Elpedison,
from now on Enerwave, contributes as a fully consolidated subsidiary.
Focus on international business development continues to support improved
financial performance, with better utilization of local resources in
refineries and infrastructure.
Our investments plans are based on capital disciplined approach, combining
growth ambitions with prudency in terms of technology and market trends, with
VISION 2025 strategy remaining the focal point of reference.
These results, and a positive outlook for the full year, support the
distribution of an interim dividend of €0.20 per share to shareholders.
Furthermore, we note the progress on hydrocarbon exploration and production
business with the recent agreement with ExxonMobil and Energean to accelerate
exploration in Block 2 coming weeks after the Chevron-HELLENiQ ENERGY JV
selected for the new offshore concessions south of the Peloponnese and Crete.
All of the above are made possible due to the efforts of a team that is highly
focused in progressing a strategic vision that positions HELLENiQ ENERGY for
long term success in an evolving energy landscape."
The key highlights and contribution for each of the main business units in
3Q25 were:
Refining, Supply & Trading
- Refining, Supply & Trading Adjusted EBITDA came in at €264m in 3Q25,
up y-o-y, due to higher benchmark refining margins and strong operational
performance.
- High refinery availability following the completion of the Elefsina
turnaround in June supported increased production, at 4.1m MT (+5 y-o-y), with
sales volume amounting to 4.3m MT, a record high. Exports remained strong for
another quarter, accounting for 47% of total sales.
Petrochemicals
- Despite record-low polypropylene (PP) margins, 3Q25 Adjusted EBITDA
remained positive at €3m, supported by increased sales and strong
commercial performance, demonstrating the resilience of our integrated
business model.
Marketing
- In 3Q25, Domestic Marketing's Adjusted EBITDA increased by 4% to a
record €38m, driven by higher volume and improved contribution from premium
fuels and non-fuel sales.
- International Marketing's Adjusted EBITDA rose to €30m (+14% y-o-y),
also to a record level, supported by higher sales volume and margins. The
retail network expanded to 331 stations vs 327 in 3Q24.
Power & Gas
- The segment contributed €32m in Adjusted EBITDA in 3Q25 vs €13m in
3Q24. The result reflects improved profitability from RES (€15m) and the
consolidation of Enerwave (€18m) from 15 July 2025. Total installed capacity
(thermal + RES) reached 1,346 MW, with total power generation of 1 TWh (pro
forma for 3Q25).
