Restatement of the 2024 and 2023 financial statements
The consolidated financial statements for the years 2024 and 2023 were
restated in 2025 to reflect the reassessment of trade receivables and
subsidies, as a result of the retroactive regulation, through OUG 32/2024, of
the compensation and capping scheme for electricity and natural gas prices.
Consequently, the figures for 2024 and 2023 presented in the preliminary
consolidated financial statements and in this summary are the restated ones.
Further details will be presented in the notes to the audited annual financial
statements.

In 2025, at the Electrica Group level, EBITDA recorded an increase of 64.5%,
respectively by RON 934.4 mn., reaching a value of RON 2,383.3 mn., compared
to the value of RON 1,449.0 mn. achieved in 2024. The EBITDA growth comes
mainly from the variation of the supply and distribution segments, both
experiencing an upward trend in 2025 compared to 2024.
Of the two segments, the variation of the supply segment had the largest
weight, recording an EBITDA improvement of +RON 650.5 mn., reaching the value
of RON 572.4 mn. from -RON 78.1 mn. (negative) in the previous period. The
increase is due to the improvement of the segment's operational performance,
having a revenue growth of RON 2,125.8 mn., an increase diminished by the
variation of other revenues by RON 1,031.4 mn. (decrease), mainly from
subsidies.
The operating profit for 2025 recorded an increase of RON 929.8 mn. up to the
value of RON 1,782.5 mn., compared to the value of RON 852.7 mn. achieved in
2024. The net profit for 2025 recorded an increase of RON 748.6 mn., reaching
the value of RON 1,218.9 mn., from a profit of RON 470.2 mn. in the previous
year.
Segment analysis
In the supply segment, revenues recorded a significant increase in 2025 by
approximately RON 2,125.8 mn., or 36.5%, compared to the previous year,
reaching the value of RON 7,944.6 mn.. The increase in revenues from the
supply of electricity and natural gas was mainly determined by the lifting of
the capping for electricity starting 1 July 2025, and partially by the entry
into force of GEO no. 6/2025 (which allowed the recognition in the acquisition
cost of a percentage of up to 10% of the imbalances' value for the April-June
2025 period).
The termination of the capping scheme allowed the supply subsidiary to build
its pricing strategy based on competitive market criteria and profitability,
adapting it according to customer categories. The supply segment's
contribution to the Group's consolidated revenues is 72.2%, while its
contribution to the Group's EBITDA is 24.0%.
Subsidy revenues for 2025 (6 months of capping in force) amounted to RON
1,081.8 mn. compared to RON 2,127.6 mn. recorded in 2024 (12 months of the
capping scheme in force). As of 31 December 2025, the estimated subsidies to
be received from the authorities total RON 2,518.3 mn. (Ministry of
Energy/ANPIS: RON 2,495.7 mn.; AJPIS: RON 22.5 mn.). Out of the receivable
subsidies (Ministry of Energy/ANPIS), the amount of RON 2,442.8 mn. represents
claims already submitted and uncollected, while RON 53.0 mn. were claims not
yet registered.
In the distribution segment, revenues increased by approximately RON 500.1
mn., or 10.6%, to RON 5,209.7 mn. (of which RON 2,948.2 mn. represent revenues
from external customers), compared to 2024. This was driven by both the 12.5%
increase in the distribution tariff according to ANRE Order no. 97/2024, and
the 1.5% increase in the volume of distributed electricity compared to 2024.
The contribution of the electricity distribution segment to the Group's
consolidated revenues is 27.0%, while its contribution to the Group's EBITDA
is 78.8%.
