"This confirmation comes at a moment of maturity for the Group, validating the
resilience of our business model following the success achieved in 2025 by
shifting from a 'Negative' to a 'Stable' outlook. It reflects Electrica's
ability to maintain financial stability and a solid credit profile, supported
by outstanding operational performance and a predictable regulatory framework.
We believe that the maintenance of this rating by Fitch Ratings confirms that
the Group has entered a cycle of sustainable growth. By optimizing our
financing structure and focusing on operational efficiency, we reaffirm our
status as a key player in the energy market and a stable, attractive issuer
for the investment community," declared Mr. Alexandru Chiriță, CEO.
Investors are reminded that Electrica's positive trajectory is underpinned by
the remarkable preliminary financial results reported for 2025. The Group
recorded a record net profit of RON 1.22 billion, representing a 159% increase
over the previous year, while EBITDA rose to RON 2.38 billion, 64.5% above the
2024 level. These historic figures reflect increased operational efficiency
and optimal capital management, which allowed the company to exceed its
planned investment program, achieving a commissioning rate of 115% against the
set target. The growth of the Regulated Asset Base to over RON 8.6 billion
strengthens the predictability of future cash flows and provides a foundation
for long-term financial stability.
