In a significantly improved energyenvironment, based on the assumption of average own generation from hydropower and wind power for the remainder of the year, as well as the present opportunityand risk situation for financial year 2021, VERBUNDexpects reported EBITDA(equivalent to the EBITDAafter adjustment of non-recurring effects) of between around €1,490m and €1,590m (previous forecast: around €1,310m to €1,410m) and a reported Group result of between around €740m and €810m (previous forecast: around €590m to €660m).
