Earnings Poll: Polish utility Tauron's Q2 net profit seen down 42% y/y
EARNINGS POLL-Polish utility Tauron's Q2 net profit seen down 42% y/y Aug 17 (Reuters) - Poland's Tauron TPE.WA is expected to report a 42% drop in second-quarter net profit to 536 million zlotys ($144 million), due to weaker supply and distribution earnings, a Reuters poll showed on Monday.
The power utility's supply and trading segment is expected to be weighed on by higher hedging costs on power purchases and capped household prices that trailed wholesale costs in the quarter.
Distribution, which operates the grid and is Tauron's largest earnings contributor, is seen under pressure from a lower allowed return on network assets, cut by the country's energy regulator to 9.5% this year from 10.8% in 2025.
The following table summarises market forecasts for Tauron's second quarter results:
