Highlights

Performance

In 9M 2024 our Adjusted EBITDA amounted to EUR 397.0 million (+15.0% YoY). The growth was driven by better results in the Green Capacities and Networks segments. The Green Capacities segment remains the largest contributor with a 45.6% share of our total Adjusted EBITDA.

We invested EUR 583.7 million and directed EUR 335.2 million, or 57.4%, of it towards the Green Capacities segment (-7.4% YoY), the majority going to new onshore wind farms in Lithuania. 85.4% of the total Investments were made in Lithuania.

S&P Global Ratings reaffirmed the Group's 'BBB+' (stable outlook) credit rating.

In line with our Dividend Policy, a dividend of EUR 0.663 per share, corresponding to EUR 48.0 million, was distributed for H1 2024.

Following the strong performance of the Green Capacities segment in 9M 2024, we increase our full-year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA guidance to EUR 480–500 million (previously EUR 450–480 million). Also, we update our Investments guidance for 2024 to EUR 750–900 million (previously EUR 850–1,000 million).

Business development

In 9M 2024, we increased our Green Capacities Portfolio to 7.7 GW (from 7.1 GW), Installed Capacity to 1.4 GW (from 1.3 GW), and Secured Capacity increased to 3.1 GW (from 2.9 GW).

We reached a number of significant milestones in the expansion and development of our Green Capacities Portfolio, including the following:

  • we, together with our partner CIP, won the second seabed site (Liivi 1) in the Estonian offshore wind tender and see the site as a natural extension of the Liivi 2 seabed site (secured in December 2023);
  • Silesia WF I (50 MW) in Poland has reached COD;
  • Vilnius CHP biomass unit in Lithuania has reached full COD (71 MWe, 170 MWth);
  • Tauragė SF (22.1 MW) in Lithuania has reached COD;
  • we made a Final Investment Decision regarding Tume SF (174 MW) in Latvia;
  • Kelmė WF (300 MW) in Lithuania supplied first power to the grid;
  • Silesia WF II (137 MW) in Poland supplied first power to the grid;
  • we have secured land for the development of hybrid projects (314 MW), i.e., we are planning to develop wind farms near our Latvian solar farms;
  • we have secured grid connection capacity for our first BESS projects (<290 MW) in Lithuania;
  • we took decisions to participate in Lithuania's second 700 MW offshore wind tender and seek partners;
  • we signed a 4-year PPA with Akmenės Cementas, (owned by Schwenk Zement Beteiligungen), which will receive electricity from Mažeikiai WF (63 MW).

Darius Maikštėnas Chair of the Management Board and CEO

In Networks, we submitted the updated 10-year Investment Plan (2024–2033) to the regulator (NERC) for public consultation and coordination. The plan foresees a 40% increase in Investments to EUR 3.5 billion (from EUR 2.5 billion over the period of 2022–2031 provided for in the previously submitted Draft). Furthermore, after the reporting period, the regulator (NERC) has set the income levels for 2025 at EUR 321.6 million for electricity distribution and EUR 57.1 million for natural gas distribution. The resolutions on setting the levels for 2025 of RAB, WACC, and additional tariff component were also passed. In addition, the total number of installed smart meters reached 968 thousand.

In Customers & Solutions, we continued to expand the EV charging network in the Baltics and have now installed a total of 867 EV charging points (+491 since 31 December 2023).

Sustainability

Our Green Share of Generation amounted to 83.6% and decreased by 5.4 pp YoY due to proportionally higher electricity generation in CCGT (Reserve Capacities).

We reduced our GHG emissions by 34.5% in Scope 2, while our Scope 1 and Scope 3 emissions increased by 21.1% and 12.9% respectively compared to 9M 2023. The total emissions amounted to 4.39 million t CO2-eq and increased by 19.7% YoY.

Carbon intensity of our Scope 1 & 2 GHG emissions decreased by 23.5% YoY to 270 g CO2-eq/kWh due to higher electricity generation from renewables and the reduction of Scope 2 emissions.

No fatal accidents were recorded, with employee and contractor TRIR standing at 1.18 and 0.37 respectively, both below the targeted threshold.

Our employee net promoter score (eNPS) remained high at 67.0 (increased by 15.1 YoY).

Strong performance and continued project delivery. Full-year Adjusted EBITDA guidance increased

Performance

Our Adjusted EBITDA amounted to EUR 397.0 million in 9M 2024 and was EUR 51.7 million, or 15.0%, higher compared to 9M 2023. The growth was driven by better results in our two largest segments – Green Capacities and Networks.

Our Green Capacities segment's Adjusted EBITDA has increased as we launched new assets (Mažeikiai WF, Silesia WF I and Vilnius CHP biomass unit) and captured higher electricity prices, mainly due to the flexibility of our assets. Furthermore, the Green Capacities segment remains the largest contributor to Adjusted EBITDA with a 45.6% share of our total result.

Our Networks segment's Adjusted EBITDA increased mainly due to higher RAB, as a result of continued Investments into the distribution network and higher WACC set by the regulator.

Next, we recorded a Customers & Solutions segment's Adjusted EBITDA decrease, which was driven by lower results in B2B natural gas supply activities, mainly due to a significant positive inventory write-down reversal effect in 9M 2023. The decrease was partly offset by lower loss from B2C electricity supply activities and better B2B electricity supply results in Latvia and Poland.

Finally, we recorded a strong performance of the Reserve Capacities segment during both 9M 2024 and 9M 2023 periods, driven by the utilised option to earn additional return in the market on top of regulated return. However, considering the extraordinary market conditions in the beginning of 2023, which allowed to earn additional return, the YoY result has decreased.

In 9M 2024 we invested EUR 583.7 million (-7.9% YoY) with 85.4% of the Investments made in Lithuania. We continued to invest heavily in renewable energy projects. More than half of the Investments were made in the Green Capacities segment (57.4% of the total Investments), with the majority going to new onshore wind farms in Lithuania.

Regarding the balance sheet's strength, despite the 10.0% increase in the Group's Net Debt (EUR 1,448.8 million as of 30 September 2024 compared to EUR 1,317.5 million as of 31 December 2023), our leverage metrics remained strong. Our FFO LTM/Net Debt ratio improved to 34.2% (compared to 29.4% as of 31 December 2023) as the FFO growth rate exceeded the growth of Net Debt.

Lastly, in line with our Dividend Policy, the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders held on 11 September 2024 made a decision to distribute a dividend of EUR 0.663 per share, corresponding to EUR 48.0 million, for H1 2024, which was distributed in October 2024.

Following the strong performance of the Green Capacities segment in 9M 2024, we increase our full-year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA guidance to EUR 480–500 million (previously EUR 450–480 million). Also, we update our Investments guidance for 2024 to EUR 750–900 million (previously EUR

850–1,000 million). The update mainly relates to the timing effects of our Green Capacities Investments.

Business development

Since the beginning of 2024, we have continued to expand and develop our Green Capacities Portfolio.

In 9M 2024, we increased our Green Capacities Portfolio by 0.6 GW to 7.7 GW (from 7.1 GW). This is mainly a result of greenfield capacity additions as we secured land for the development of hybrid projects (314 MW), i.e., we are planning to develop wind farms near our Latvian solar farms, and secured grid connection capacity for our first BESS projects (<290 MW) in Lithuania.

We also increased our Installed Capacity to 1.4 GW (from 1.3 GW) as Silesia WF I (50 MW) in Poland has reached COD in March, Vilnius CHP biomass unit in Lithuania has reached full COD for the remaining 21 MWth and 21 MWe capacities in May, and Tauragė SF 22.1 MW has reached COD in July. Our Secured Capacity increased by 0.2 GW to 3.1 GW (from 2.9 GW) as Tume SF (173.6 MW) in Latvia has reached the construction phase. The implementation of other projects in the Green Capacities Portfolio is progressing as planned with no significant changes since Q2 2024.

I would like to highlight the development we have made on the largest wind farm under construction in the Baltics – Kelmė WF (300 MW) in Lithuania. In Q2 we managed to install the first wind turbine,

while in Q3 the first power to the grid was supplied. By now, we have successfully installed 28/44 wind turbines. Additionally, after the reporting period, Silesia WF II (137 MW) in Poland supplied the first power to the grid. All turbines have been erected, installed and fully prepared for operation. Both projects are expected to reach COD in 2025.

Furthermore, we have made a Final Investment Decision regarding a 174 MW Tume SF located in Tukums municipality, Tume parish, Latvia. This will be our first project to employ a tracking technology, which automatically follows the sun's movement, thereby increasing the generation efficiency of the solar panels and the electricity output. As our third solar project under construction in Latvia, it underscores our commitment to accelerating the region's transition towards a greener and more sustainable future. The solar farm is expected to reach COD in 2026 and it will be able to meet the electricity needs of 85,000 households in Latvia.

It's worth noting that we signed a 4-year PPA with one of the largest industrial companies and electricity consumers in Lithuania, Akmenės Cementas, a Lithuanian cement producer owned by a German building materials producer, Schwenk Zement Beteiligungen. The company will receive electricity from Mažeikiai WF (63 MW), with power supply starting in 2026.

After the reporting period, we took decisions to participate in Lithuania's second 700 MW offshore wind tender and seek partners. Previously, tender did not convene due to the limited number of participants. The second tender is set to begin on 18 November 2024, and the National Energy Regulatory Council (NERC) should announce the winner by the end of April 2025.

On the Networks front, we have updated our 10-year (2024–2033) Investment Plan for the

distribution networks and submitted it to the regulator (NERC) for public consultation and coordination. The Draft Investment Plan foresees a 40% increase in Investments (to EUR 3.5 billion) compared to the previous 10-year Investment Plan submitted to NERC (EUR 2.5 billion, 2022–2031). We are also successfully continuing the smart meter roll-out. The total number of installed smart meters has reached 968 thousand, out of more than 1.2 million smart meters to be installed in 2026.

After the reporting period, the regulator (NERC) has set the income levels for 2025 for electricity and gas distribution services. The allowed income level for electricity distribution services was set to EUR 321.6 million, an increase of 4.0% from 2024, while the income level for gas distribution services was set to EUR 57.1 million, a decrease of 11.6%. The resolutions on setting the levels for 2025 of RAB, WACC, and additional tariff component were also passed.

And on the Customers & Solutions front, we continue expanding the EV charging network in the Baltics, with a total of 867 EV charging points (+491 since 31 December 2023) already installed across Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.

Sustainability

In 9M 2024, we continued to build a resilient and robust organisation by adhering to the highest ESG principles and retaining our commitment to the principles of the UN Global Compact.

We continued our efforts to minimise our environmental impact and contribute to reaching ambitious climate targets. In early 2024, we signed a letter urging the EU to set a reduction target of 90% by 2040 for greenhouse gas emissions. More information is available here.

Our Green Share of Generation amounted to 83.6% (-5.4 pp YoY) due to of proportionally higher electricity generation in CCGT(Reserve Capacities).

We reduced our GHG emissions by 34.5% in Scope 2, while our Scope 1 and Scope 3 emissions increased by 21.1% and 12.9% respectively compared to 9M 2023. Our total emissions amounted to 4.39 million t CO2-eq (+19.7% YoY).

In 9M 2024, the carbon intensity of our Scope 1 and 2 emissions decreased by 23.5% YoY to 270 g CO2-eq/kWh due to higher electricity generation from renewables and the reduction of Scope 2 emissions.

Our top priority remains occupational health and safety (OHS), thus we continue our initiatives with the goal of educating our employees and contractors and preventing any OHS issues.

We are continuing the OHS programme 'Is it safe?' to promote the safety culture. No fatal accidents were recorded, with employee and contractor TRIR standing at 1.18 and 0.37 respectively, both below the targeted threshold.

The significance of scoring high (67.0) in the employee overall experience survey (eNPS) and receiving the Top Employer certificate for the third consecutive year cannot be overstated. These accolades are a testament to our successful implementation and maintenance of a holistic employee wellbeing approach.

Darius Maikštėnas

Chair of the Management Board and CEO

Following the strong performance of the Green Capacities segment in 9M 2024, we increase our full-year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA guidance to EUR 480–500 million (previously EUR 450–480 million). Also, we update our Investments guidance for 2024 to EUR 750–900 million (previously EUR 850–1,000 million).

1.3 Performance highlights

Financial

EBITDA EURm 9M 2023 9M 2024 348.2 397.8 345.3 397.0 +15.0% Reported Adjusted

Adjusted EBITDA growth was influenced by better Green Capacities' and Networks' results. The Green Capacities segment remains the largest contributor to Adjusted EBITDA (EUR 180.9 million, or 45.6% of the Group's total).

Net profit EURm

Adjusted Net Profit was 10.5% higher than in 9M 2023. The increase is related to the positive EBIT impact, which was partly offset by higher finance activity expenses, mainly driven by higher Net Debt.

ROCE LTM

9M 2023 9M 2024

Adjusted ROCE LTM increased to 10.3% mainly due to the growth in Adjusted EBIT (LTM) (an increase of 21.0%, from EUR 299.5 million to EUR 362.5 million), while average Capital Employed remained relatively flat (an increase of 1.1%, from EUR 3,477.9 million to EUR 3,517.9 million)

Investments

In 9M 2024, we continued to invest heavily in renewable energy projects. More than half of the Investments were made in the Green Capacities segment (57.4% of the total Investments). However, due to successful completion of several major projects, Investments into Green Capacities decreased by 7.4% and amounted to EUR 335.2 million, with the majority of the Investments directed to onshore wind farms.

Net Working Capital EURm

31 Dec 2023 30 Sep 2024

Net Working Capital decreased by 33.7%. The main drivers behind the changes were lower trade receivables as a result of the decrease in gas related revenue.

Net Debt

EURm

31 Dec 2023 30 Sep 2024

Net Debt increased by 10.0%, driven by negative FCF and dividends paid. The negative FCF is related to considerable Investments made.

Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA LTM FFO LTM/Net Debt Times, %

31 Dec 2023 30 Sep 2024

FFO LTM/Net Debt ratio increased by 4.8 pp as the FFO LTM growth rate exceeded the growth of Net Debt.

Outlook for 2024

Adjusted EBITDA , EURm

Guidance 2024 (13 Nov 2024) 480–500
Guidance 2024 (14 Aug 2024) 450–480
Guidance 2024 (15 May 2024) 440–470
Guidance 2024 (28 Feb 2024) 440–470
2023 actual result 484.7

Following the strong performance of the Green Capacities segment in 9M 2024, we increase our fullyear 2024 Adjusted EBITDA guidance to EUR 480–500 million (previously EUR 450–480 million). Also, we update our Investments guidance for 2024 to EUR 750–900 million (previously EUR 850–1,000 million).

ESG

Electricity Generated (net), Green Share of Generation TWh, %

A 0.49 TWh, or 35.0%, increase in Electricity Generated (net) continues to be driven by the generation of new assets (Green Capacities), including Mažeikiai WF and Silesia WF I as well as Vilnius CHP biomass unit. The Green Share of Generation decreased by 5.3 pp to 83.6%, due to proportionally higher electricity generation in Elektrėnai Complex (Reserve Capacities).

Secured Capacity increased to 3.1 GW (from 2.9 GW) as the Group made the Final Investment Decision regarding Tume SF (173.6 MW), which has now reached the construction phase. Installed Capacity increased to 1.4 GW (from 1.3 GW), as Silesia WF I (50 MW) has reached COD in March, Vilnius CHP biomass unit reached full COD for the remaining 21 MWe and 21 MWth capacity in May and Tauragė SF (22.1 MW) has reached COD in July.

The Group's market-based GHG emissions increased by 19.7% compared to 9M 2023, mainly due to a 238% increase in out of scope (biogenic) emissions from Vilnius CHP biomass unit's operations. Higher electricity emissions factors led to a 12.9% increase in Scope 3 emissions. Despite the higher emissions factors, Scope 2 emissions dropped by 34.5% due to the use of renewable energy guarantees of origin for a share of Kruonis PSHP's electricity consumption and a share of the electricity distribution network's losses. Scope 1 emissions increased by 21.1% due to higher electricity generation in Elektrėnai Complex (Reserve Capacities).

Electricity quality indicators were impacted by natural phenomena, including heavy snowfall in Q2 and strong winds and local storms in Q3, leading to an increase in SAIFI and SAIDI indicators. Specifically, in July 2024, Lithuania experienced the largest storm since 2020, resulting in extensive power outages across all 60 municipalities. Energijos Skirstymo Operatorius (ESO) mobilized over 300 brigades, along with additional support staff, to assess the damage and restore electricity to 460,000 affected customers.

Safety TRIR 9M 2023 9M 2024 9M 2023 9M 2024 1.18 0.373 Employees Contractors 0.89 1.092

Employee total recordable injury rate (TRIR) was recorded at 1.18 and increased compared to the same period last year as the number of safety incidents rose from 5 to 7. A total of 3 contractor incidents were recorded during 9M 2024.

The Group's headcount increased by 259, or 5.9%. The employee growth was driven by the Green Capacities segment in order to facilitate the growing renewables Portfolio.

Supervisory and Management Boards Nationality and gender diversity

As of 30 September 2024, the main governing bodies of the Group were represented by 50% female and 42% international members. Sian Lloyd Rees has been appointed as a new independent member of the Supervisory Board at Ignitis Group, replacing Bent Christensen.

1 9M 2023 data was revised after the inclusion of additional emissions categories in quarterly assessments (previously, only the main categories were included on a quarterly basis). The change does not affect the total 2023 emissions. 2 Contractor TRIR only includes contracts above 0.5 EURm/year. 3 Part of the total hours worked for contracts below 0.5 EURm/year may not be included in Contractor TRIR calculations, while all recordable incidents are included.

1.4 Outlook

Adjusted EBITDA guidance

Following the strong performance of the Green Capacities segment in 9M 2024, we increase our full-year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA guidance to EUR 480–500 million (previously EUR 450–480 million). Directional guidance for business segments remains the same as the one provided in our Integrated Annual Report 2023.

The guidance does not include any gains from asset rotation.

For 2024, we assume the results of our largest segments, Green Capacities and Networks, to be higher compared to 2023. The Green Capacities segment's Adjusted EBITDA is expected to increase due to new projects reaching COD in 2024 (Silesia WF I and Vilnius CHP biomass unit) and the full-year effect of Mažeikiai WF. The results should be partly offset by lower power prices. The Networks segment's Adjusted EBITDA is expected to increase because a higher WACC was approved and because of higher RAB due to continued Investments into the distribution network. Adjusted EBITDA of Reserve Capacities and Customers & Solutions segments are expected to be lower due to better-than-usual results in 2023.

Investments guidance

We update our Investments guidance for 2024 to EUR 750–900 million (previously EUR 850–1,000 million). The update mainly relates to the timing effects of our Green Capacities Investments.

2.2 Investment program

Overview

The Group makes investment decisions based on a four-year investment plan. Over the period of 2024– 2027, the Group targets to invest EUR 3.0–4.0 billion, or around EUR 750–1,000 million annually, primarily towards sustainable growth in the Green Capacities and Networks business segments. Out of the total, around 61% of the Investments are directed towards the Green Capacities expansion, while around 33% of the Investments are focused on the Networks segment, its maintenance and expansion.

To successfully implement our investment plan while achieving financial targets, including our commitment to increase dividends annually, we have established and apply a disciplined investment policy. The latest information on the key ongoing investment projects is presented below. More information on the investment program, including the investment strategy, is available in the Strategy page on our website.

Green Capacities

Overview

In 9M 2024, we increased our Green Capacities Portfolio by 0.6 GW to 7.7 GW (from 7.1 GW). This is mainly a result of greenfield capacity additions as we secured land for the development of hybrid projects (314 MW), i.e., we are planning to develop wind farms near our Latvian solar projects, and secured grid connection capacity for our first BESS projects (<290 MW) in Lithuania. We also increased our Installed Capacity to 1.4 GW (from 1.3 GW) as Silesia WF I (50 MW) in Poland has reached COD in March, Vilnius CHP biomass unit in Lithuania reached full COD for the remaining 21 MWth and 21 MWe capacities in May, and Tauragė SF (22.1 MW) has reached COD in July. Our Secured Capacity increased by 0.2 GW to 3.1 GW (from 2.9 GW) as Tume SF (173.6 MW) in Latvia has reached the construction phase.

The implementation of the Green Capacities Portfolio is progressing as planned with no significant changes since Q2 2024.

Key Green Capacities Portfolio development milestones

During the reporting period

Q1

– We, together with our partner CIP, won the second seabed site (Liivi 1) in the Estonian offshore wind tender and see the site as a natural extension of the Liivi 2 seabed site (secured in December 2023). This will allow us to capture greater synergies and optimise the projects by developing the sites as a single offshore wind project. The actual capacity of the offshore wind farm is expected to be 1–1.5 GW.

  • Silesia WF I (50 MW) in Poland has reached COD.
  • We have launched an environmental impact assessment for the Curonian Nord project.
  • We have started taking wind and meteorological measurements in the Baltic Sea for the Curonian Nord project.

Q3

  • Tauragė SF (22.1 MW) in Lithuania has reached COD.
  • Kelmė WF (300 MW) in Lithuania supplied the first power to the grid.
  • We made a Final Investment Decision regarding a 174 MW Tume SF in Latvia.
  • We signed a 4-year PPA with Akmenės Cementas, a Lithuanian cement producer (owned by Schwenk Zement Beteiligungen), which will receive electricity from Mažeikiai WF (63 MW). The power supply will start in 2026.
  • We have secured additional grid connection capacity for a 38 MW BESS project in Lithuania.
  • Q2
    • Vilnius CHP biomass unit has reached full COD (71 MWe, 170 MWth).
    • The first wind turbine has been erected in the largest wind farm under construction in the Baltics at Kelmė WF (300 MW) in Lithuania.
    • We have secured land for the development of hybrid projects (314 MW), i.e., we are planning to develop wind farms near our Latvian solar projects.
  • We have secured grid connection capacity for our first BESS projects (<260 MW) in Lithuania.
  • We submitted a bid in the tender for the second 700 MW Lithuanian offshore wind project. However, due to the limited number of participants, the tender did not convene.

Construction of the Kelmė WF in Lithuania

After the reporting period

  • Silesia WF II (137 MW) in Poland supplied first power to the grid.
  • We took decisions to participate in Lithuania's second 700 MW offshore wind tender and seek partners.

Networks

Since the end of 2023, we have successfully continued working on grid maintenance and expansion, including the smart meter roll-out. Smart meter installation for private and business customers whose energy consumption exceeds 1,000 kWh a year began in July 2022 and smoothly continues today. Over 9M 2024, around 239 thousand smart meters were installed, reaching 968 thousand installed smart meters in total (out of more than 1.2 million smart meters to be installed in 2026). The smart metering system was successfully deployed at the end of 2023. In 2024, we are enhancing current and developing new features. The integration of the smart meter information system with the distribution management system is underway, with complete integration estimated by mid-2025. Readings HUB, a cloud-based big data platform for smart meters, was successfully launched in June 2024. We are now integrating data into it and setting up analytical algorithms. Additionally, a project to calculate electricity network losses using smart meter data has been initiated.

We have updated our 10-year (2024–2033) investment plan for the distribution networks and have submitted it for public consultation and coordination to NERC. It foresees a 1.4-times increase in Investments to EUR 3.5 billion. The previous 10-year investment plan submitted to NERC projected EUR 2.5 billion in Investments for 2022–2031. The planned Investments continue to focus on the two main areas: improving the network resiliency and efficiency (~38% of the planned Investments) as well as expanding the electricity network and facilitating the market (~57%). The maintenance of the natural gas network represents ~5% of the total planned Investments.

2.3 Business environment

The Group's performance continues to be affected by macroeconomic and industry dynamics, particularly in the specific markets in which it operates. In order to assess the business environment and identify potential opportunities and challenges, we closely monitor economic indicators and industry developments. Our commitment to providing a comprehensive overview extends to highlighting relevant changes in the regulatory framework, ensuring a nuanced understanding of the markets in which we operate.

Macroeconomic environment

GDP

In 9M 2024, GDP in the euro area and European Union (EU) has increased compared to the same period of 2023. Looking ahead, the GDP in the euro area is expected to slow down a bit and increase by 0.8% in 2024 and 1.4% in 2025. On a similar note, the EU's GDP is expected to grow by 1.0% and 1.6% respectively. In 9M 2024 Lithuania's GDP increased by 2.3% YoY. It is expected to slow down a bit and increase by 2.0% in 2024 and increase by 2.9% in 2025. According to Eurostat's spring forecast, our home markets' GDP growth prospects for 2024 and 2025 surpass the EU and the euro area, except for Estonia in 2024 and Finland in 2024 and 2025.

Inflation

In 9M 2024 the annual inflation rate in the euro area settled around 2.1%, down from 2.4% in June 2024. Among our home market countries, Poland recorded the highest inflation rate reaching 4.2% in June 2024, exceeding both the euro area and EU averages. Poland is also projected to maintain the highest harmonised CPI levels throughout 2024 and 2025. On the other hand, Lithuania, which has the lowest inflation rate among our home markets, is expected to increase it in 2024 and 2025 to reach the EU and euro area averages. All other home market countries are expected to have inflation rates either slightly below or similar to the EU and euro area.

This was a result of normal hydro balances in Scandinavia, lower gas prices and significant growth in renewables generation, driven by favourable weather as well as wind and solar capacity additions. The maintenance of the power lines related to the preparations for the synchronisation with the EU power grid caused price differences between the Scandinavian and Baltic regions. Additionally, the periods with negative prices have increased, highlighting the need for flexible solutions, such as BESS and hydrogen, to reduce the market volatility.
  • Electricity generation has increased, mostly in Lithuania, which generated 43.9% more electricity compared to 9M 2023, thanks to higher wind (increased by 44.5%) and solar (increased by 116.1%) generation levels. Thermal generation has also increased due to lower imports from Finland. Electricity demand in 9M 2024 has increased due to colder weather in Q1 and heat waves in Q3, which increased the cooling demand by 5.3%.
  • The pressure on the wholesale natural gas market has eased a bit due to healthy storage levels, expanded LNG import capacities and reduced consumption, but geopolitical risks may still drive potential fluctuations. The natural gas demand in the Baltics remains up year-on-year, with the Baltics and Finland tracking a 22% increase (2% decrease in Europe), though it still remains below the 5-year average at -34% (-20% in Europe).

Revenue

In 9M 2024, total revenue decreased by EUR 220.5 million compared to 9M 2023 and amounted to EUR 1,621.1 million. The main reason for the decrease was lower revenue in the Customers & Solutions segment, which outweighed the increase of revenue in all the remaining segments. A more detailed information is provided in section '6 Consolidated financial statements', note '6 Revenue'.

The Customers & Solutions segment's revenue was 28.5%, or EUR 343.7 million, lower than in 9M 2023. The YoY decrease in revenue was recorded in both natural gas and electricity activities. Revenue from natural gas activities decreased the most (EUR -273.3 million), mainly due to the lower average TTF gas price index (-37.0%) and lower volume supplied (-10.6%).

The Networks segment's revenue was 20.3%, or EUR 86.3 million, higher compared to 9M 2023. The increase was mainly driven by higher revenue from electricity transmission activities (EUR +108.0 million). The result was partly offset by lower revenue from electricity distribution activities (EUR -17.7 million) due to the lower tariffs set by the regulator. The decrease in electricity distribution tariffs was mainly caused by lower expenses from electricity distribution technological losses, which have decreased due to lower electricity purchase prices.

The Green Capacities segment's revenue was 20.1%, or EUR 47.6 million, higher compared to 9M 2023. The segment's revenue increased primarily as a result of the launch of new assets (Mažeikiai WF, Silesia WF I and Vilnius CHP biomass unit) and higher captured electricity prices, mainly due to the flexibility of the assets.

The Reserve Capacities segment's revenue was 13.0%, or EUR 11.1 million, higher than in 9M 2023. The increase was mainly related to favourable market conditions and utilisation of all three units in Elektrėnai Complex.

EBITDA

In 9M 2024, Adjusted EBITDA amounted to EUR 397.0 million and was EUR 51.7 million, or 15.0%, higher than in 9M 2023.

The Green Capacities segment's Adjusted EBITDA was 17.2%, or EUR 26.5 million, higher compared to 9M 2023. Adjusted EBITDA increased primarily as a result of the launch of new assets (Mažeikiai WF, Silesia WF I and Vilnius CHP biomass unit) and higher captured electricity prices, mainly due to the flexibility of the assets.

The Networks segment's Adjusted EBITDA was EUR 36.9 million higher than in 9M 2023, mainly due to the higher RAB effect and higher WACC. Also, the Adjusted EBITDA increase was partly related to the higher share of allowed return, D&A and additional tariff component recognised in 9M 2024 vs 9M 2023 due to the temporary volume effect. This effect will level off over the course of the year as annual ROI, compensated depreciation and amortisation and additional tariff component are fixed for the year but allocated between the months based on the distributed volumes.

The Reserve Capacities segment's Adjusted EBITDA was 4.2%, or EUR 1.6 million, lower than in 9M 2023. Strong performance during both periods was driven by the utilised option to earn additional return in the market on top of the regulated return. However, the YoY decrease is related to the fact that in Q1 2023 the conditions to earn additional return in the market were extraordinary.

The Customers & Solutions segment's Adjusted EBITDA was EUR 9.8 million lower than in 9M 2023. The decrease was driven by lower B2B natural

gas supply results, mainly due to larger reduction of COGS in 9M 2023 from inventory write down reversal. The decrease was partly offset by lower loss from B2C electricity supply activities and better B2B electricity supply results in Latvia and Poland.

Operating profit (EBIT)

In 9M 2024, Adjusted EBIT amounted to EUR 264.0 million and was EUR 33.0 million, or 14.3%, higher than in 9M 2023. The main effect of the increase was higher Adjusted EBITDA (EUR +51.7 million) (the reasons behind the increase are described in the 'EBITDA' section above), which was partly offset by higher depreciation and amortisation expenses (EUR -19.5 million).

Net profit

In 9M 2024, Adjusted Net Profit amounted to EUR 213.3 million and was EUR 20.3 million, or 10.5%, higher than in 9M 2023 . The increase is related to the positive EBIT impact (EUR +33.0 million), which was partly offset by higher interest (EUR -8.6 million) and income tax (EUR -4.7 million) expenses.

Investments

In 9M 2024, Investments amounted to EUR 583.7 million and were EUR 50.0 million, or 7.9%, lower compared to 9M 2023. The decrease was driven by lower Investments into Green Capacities and Networks segments.

The largest share of Investments was made in the Green Capacities segment (57.4% of the total Investments). The total Investments in the Green Capacities segment decreased by EUR 26.7 million, totalling EUR 335.2 million. The main reason for the decrease was successful completion of several major projects. During the last twelve months, Silesia WF I and Vilnius CHP biomass unit have reached COD, while Silesia WF II has reached its final development stage, with COD expected in Q1 2025.

Investments in the Networks segment in 9M 2024 amounted to EUR 217.1 million and were 12.0%, or EUR 29.5 million, lower compared to 9M 2023. The decrease is mainly related to lower Investments in the smart meters which have decreased by EUR 13.8 million, or 42.2%, as the majority of smart meters

were installed last year, causing a gradual decline in the number of smart meters being installed over the 9M 2024 period.

In 9M 2024, grants and Investments covered by customers amounted to EUR 52.6 million and accounted for 9.0% of the total Investments. A part of the Investments into the Networks segment that are related to new connections, upgrades and infrastructure equipment transfers were covered by customers (EUR 49.1 million). Also, in 9M 2024 the Group has received EUR 3.5 million in grants for Investments which are related to the maintenance of electricity and natural gas distribution networks.

In 9M 2024, EUR 498.4 million were invested in Lithuania. This amount represents 85.4% of the total Investments.

Cash flows

CFO

Net cash flows from operating activities (CFO) in 9M 2024 amounted to EUR 526.1 million. Compared to 9M 2023, CFO decreased by EUR 23.4 million, mainly due to the lower cash inflow from changes in the working capital (EUR 115.3 million in 9M 2024 compared to EUR 340.6 million in 9M 2023). The decrease was partly offset by the lower reversal of inventory write down to net realisable value (EUR -13.4 million in 9M 2024 compared to the reversal of write down to net realisable value of EUR -99.0 million in 9M 2023).

CFI

Net cash flows from investing activities (CFI) amounted to EUR -441.0 million in 9M 2024. The CFI indicator was less negative (EUR +183.2 million), mainly due to the withdrawal of deposits in the amount of EUR +109.0 million, while in 9M 2023 the Group made a deposit in the amount of EUR -50.0 million.

CFF

Net cash flows from financing activities (CFF) amounted to EUR -80.7 million in 9M 2024. CFF was negative mainly due to the dividends (EUR -46.5 million) and interest (EUR -38.8 million) paid. In comparison, CFF in 9M 2023 amounted to EUR -166.5 million and was negative due to the repaid credit lines and overdrafts (EUR -342.3 million), which was partly offset by additional loans received in the amount of EUR 275.8 million.

A more detailed information is provided in section '6.5 Interim condensed consolidated statement of cash flows'.

FFO

In 9M 2024, the Group's FFO increased by 44.4% (EUR +108.6 million) and amounted to EUR 353.0 million. The main reasons for the increase were higher EBITDA and lower income tax paid.

FCF

In 9M 2024, the Group's FCF amounted to EUR -124.5 million. The main reason for the negative FCF was significant Investments made. Negative FCF was partially offset by FFO and the positive changes in the Net Working Capital.

Key operating indicators

In 9M 2024, the Green Capacities Portfolio increased to 7.7 GW, up from 7.1 GW on 31 December 2023. This growth is primarily attributed to greenfield capacity additions, including the plots of land secured for the development of hybrid projects, i.e., wind farms near our Latvian solar parks, totalling 314 MW. Additionally, grid connection capacity was secured for the first BESS projects (<290 MW) in Lithuania. The Secured Capacity increased by 0.2 GW to 3.1 GW (from 2.9 GW) as Tume SF (173.6 MW) has reached the construction phase.

Electricity Generated (net) increased by 0.49 TWh, or 35.0%, YoY and in 9M 2024 amounted to 1.89 TWh. The increase in Electricity Generated (net) was driven by the generation of new assets (Green Capacities), including Mažeikiai WF, Silesia WF I and Vilnius CHP biomass unit.

The electricity sales were at a similar level as last year, amounting to 5.01 TWh.

The total distributed electricity volume rose by 0.31 TWh, or 4.4%, YoY, driven by higher consumption among B2B customers.

Electricity quality indicators were impacted by natural phenomena, including heavy snowfall in Q2 and strong winds and local storms in Q3, leading to an increase in SAIFI and SAIDI indicators. Specifically, in July 2024, Lithuania experienced the largest storm since 2020, resulting in extensive power outages across all 60 municipalities. Energijos Skirstymo Operatorius (ESO) mobilized over 300 brigades, along with additional support staff, to assess the damage and restore electricity to 460,000 affected customers.

In 9M 2024, Heat Generated (net) amounted to 1.07 TWh and increased by 0.39 TWh, or 58.6%, YoY due to higher generation at Vilnius CHP.

The natural gas sales decreased by 0.70 TWh, or 10.6%, driven by lower wholesale volumes sold over 9M 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.

The natural gas distribution volume in Lithuania has increased by 0.63 TWh, or 15.5%, driven by rising production volumes in industrial companies.

Adjusted Net Profit

In Q3 2024, Adjusted Net Profit increased by EUR 5.8 million, or 13.5%, in comparison to Q3 2023. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA (EUR +15.4 million) was partly offset by higher depreciation and amortisation expenses (EUR -7.5 million) and finance expenses (EUR -1.7 million).

Investments

Compared to Q3 2023, Investments have decreased following the successful completion of several major Green Capacities projects. During the last twelve months, Silesia WF I and Vilnius CHP biomass unit have reached COD, and Silesia WF II has reached its final development stage, with COD expected in Q1 2025.

Operating performance

As of 30 September 2024, the Green Capacities Portfolio remained flat at (7.7 GW). Secured Capacity increased to 3.1 GW (from 2.9 GW) as Tume SF (173.6 MW) has reached the construction phase.

Electricity Generated (net) increased by 0.14 TWh, or 31.3%. The increase was driven by higher generation at Vilnius CHP biomass unit and further supported by Kruonis PSHP, due to a greater number of days with favourable conditions for generation. Electricity sales increased by 0.07 TWh, or 4.6%, compared to Q3 2023. The increase was driven by higher electricity sales to B2B customers.

The electricity distribution quality indicator SAIFI increased to 0.56 interruptions (compared to 0.37 in Q3 2023), and electricity SAIDI increased to 307 minutes (compared to 42 minutes in Q3 2023). The quarterly quality indicators deteriorated due to natural phenomena, primarily strong winds and local storms, including the storm in July, which was the largest storm in Lithuania since 2020.

Heat Generated (net) in Q3 2024 amounted to 0.24 TWh and was 0.04 TWh, or 20.6%, higher compared to Q3 2023. The increase was driven by generation at Vilnius CHP biomass unit, which reached full COD for the remaining 21 MWth capacity in May 2024.

Natural gas sales increased by 0.49 TWh, or 36.7%. The growth was driven by both higher retail sales (0.24 TWh), mainly in Lithuania and Finland, and higher wholesale sales (0.25 TWh).

of the launch of new assets (Silesia WF I and Vilnius CHP biomass unit) and higher captured electricity prices, mainly due to the flexibility of the assets.

The Green Capacities segment's Adjusted EBITDA was 2.4%, or EUR 1.1 million, higher compared to Q3 2023. The segment's Adjusted EBITDA increased primarily as a result of the launch of new assets (Silesia WF I and Vilnius CHP biomass unit) and higher captured electricity prices, mainly due to the flexibility of the assets.

Compared to Q3 2023, Investments in the Green Capacities segment have decreased following the successful completion of several major projects. During the last twelve months, Silesia WF I and Vilnius CHP biomass unit have reached COD, while Silesia WF II has reached its final development stage, with COD expected in Q1 2025.

Operating performance Key operating indicators

Q3 results

As of 30 September 2024, the Green Capacities Portfolio remained flat at (7.7 GW). Secured Capacity increased to 3.1 GW (from 2.9 GW) as Tume SF (173.6 MW) has reached the construction phase.

Electricity Generated (net) increased by 0.11 TWh, or 31.0%, in Q3 2024 compared to Q3 2023. The growth was driven by generation at Vilnius CHP biomass unit, which achieved the full COD for the remaining 21 MWe and 21 MWth capacity in May 2024. The increase was also supported by Kruonis PSHP, due to a greater number of days with favourable conditions for generation, and by Silesia WF I, which reached COD in March 2024.

Heat Generated (net) in Q3 2024 amounted to 0.24 TWh and was 0.04 TWh, or 20.6%, higher compared to Q3 2023. The increase was driven by generation at Vilnius CHP biomass unit.

Networks

Q3 2024 highlights

– In September 2024, the total number of installed smart meters has reached 968 thousand (out of more than 1.2 million smart meters to be installed in 2026).

After the reporting period:

– In October 2024, the regulator (NERC) has set the income levels for 2025 at EUR 321.6 million for electricity distribution and EUR 57.1 million for natural gas distribution. The resolutions on setting the levels for 2025 of RAB, WACC, and additional tariff component were also passed.

Financial results

Q3 results

The Networks segment's revenue in Q3 2024 was 21.1%, or EUR 27.4 million, higher than in Q3 2023. The increase was mainly driven by higher revenue from electricity transmission activities (EUR +30.4 million). The result was partly offset by lower revenue from electricity distribution activities (EUR -2.7 million) due to lower tariffs set by the regulator. The decrease in electricity distribution tariffs was mainly caused by lower expenses from electricity distribution technological losses, which have decreased due to lower electricity purchase prices.

In Q3 2024, the Networks segment's Adjusted EBITDA was EUR 9.9 million higher than in Q3 2023, mainly due to the higher RAB effect and higher WACC. Also, the Adjusted EBITDA increase was partly related to the higher share of allowed return, D&A and additional tariff component recognised in Q3 2024 vs Q3 2023, due to the temporary volume effect. This effect will level off over the course of the year as annual ROI, compensated depreciation and amortisation and additional tariff component are fixed for the year but allocated between the months based on the distributed volumes.

In Q3 2024, Investments decreased by 4.0%, or EUR 3.4 million, due to lower Investments made in smart meters (EUR -5.5 million) as the majority of smart meters were installed last year, causing gradual decline in the number of smart meters being installed over the Q3 2024 period.

Operating performance

Q3 results

The electricity distributed has increased by 0.08 TWh, or 3.6%, in Q3 2024 compared to Q3 2023. The increase was mainly driven by higher consumption among B2B customers.

In Q3 2024, the electricity distribution quality indicator SAIFI increased to 0.56 interruptions (compared to 0.37 in Q3 2023), and electricity SAIDI increased to 307 minutes (compared to 42 minutes in Q3 2023). The quarterly quality indicators deteriorated due to natural phenomena, primarily strong winds and local storms. Specifically, in July 2024, Lithuania experienced the largest storm since 2020, resulting in extensive power outages across all 60 municipalities. Energijos Skirstymo Operatorius (ESO) mobilized over 300 brigades, along with additional support staff, to assess the damage and restore electricity to 460,000 affected customers.

In Lithuania, the distributed natural gas volume in Q3 2024 increased by 0.11 TWh, or 14.5%, amounting to 0.89 TWh. The growth was driven by rising production volumes in industrial companies.

Q3 2024 Highlights

  • In July 2024, a fast-charging hub with the ability to charge 10 EVs at once has been opened in Riga, Latvia.
  • In September 2024, we signed a 4-year PPA with Akmenės Cementas, a Lithuanian cement producer (owned by Schwenk Zement Beteiligungen), which will receive electricity from Mažeikiai WF (63 MW). The power supply will start in 2026.

Financial results

Q3 results

In Q3 2024, the Customers & Solutions segment's revenue was 6.8%, or EUR 18.4 million, higher than in Q3 2023. The increase in revenue was driven by natural gas supply business, mainly due to the higher volumes sold (36.7%) and higher average TTF gas price index (8.6%).

In Q3 2024, the Customers & Solutions segment's Adjusted EBITDA remained flat and amounted to EUR -0.7 million. The results of B2B natural gas supply activities were lower due to the normalised COGS levels in Q3 2024, while the results in Q3 2023 benefited from irregular extra-profits from one-off natural gas purchase deals. The result was partly offset by an increase in electricity supply results due to a more stable market compared to Q3 2023, when B2C customers were migrating to lower fixed-price plans, resulting in large losses.

Operating performance

Q3 results

In Q3 2024, electricity sales increased by 0.07 TWh, or 4.7%, compared to Q3 2023. The increase was driven by higher sales to B2B customers, mainly in Poland and Latvia. The natural gas sales increased by 0.49 TWh, or 36.7%, in Q3 2024. The increase was driven by higher wholesale sales (0.25 TWh) as well as retail sales (0.24 TWh), primarily in Lithuania, due to lower natural gas market prices, and in Finland, where a rise in sales was recorded after the Balticconnector pipeline resumed its commercial operations in April 2024.

4.2 Risk management update

Risk management framework

Overview

In connection with its business activities, the Group is exposed to both internal and external risks that might affect its performance. To ensure their mitigation to an acceptable level, we apply uniform risk management principles, which are based on the best market practices, including the guidance of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and AS/NZS ISO 31000:2018. A clear segregation of risk management and control duties is controlled by applying the 'Three-lines enterprise risk management framework' in the Group, where the duties are distributed between management and supervisory bodies, structural units, and functions.

In order to ensure that the risk management information and decisions are relevant and reflect all the changes significant to the Group, the Group applies a uniform risk management process, which involves all the Group companies and functions. To ensure an effective risk management control, we monitor risks, risk management measures, key risk indicators and prepare internal reports for the management (both at the Group or the Group company level and at the function level) on a quarterly basis.

More detailed information on our risk management framework is available in our Integrated Annual Report 2023.

Key risks of the Group

There were no changes identified in Q3 2024 among the Group's key risks compared to the previous quarter.

The changes among the key risks of the Group identified earlier this year were the following: in Q1 2024, the risk of failure to complete the Vilnius CHP biomass unit properly and on time decreased from 'High' to 'Low' and dropped out from the list of key risks. In Q2 2024, the risk became obsolete as Vilnius CHP biomass project was officially finished. In Q1 2024, due to the updated risk assessment methodology, the risk of not ensuring the security of the Lithuanian electricity system decreased from 'High' to 'Medium'.

The descriptions and mitigation plans of the abovementioned and other key risks of the Group, including the risk heat map, are disclosed in the Group's Integrated Annual Report 2023.

Business segments (equal to 'Operating segments' in accordance with IFRS 8) are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing the performance of the business segments, has been identified as the Management Board.

The Group is divided into four business segments based on their core activities. For more information about the segments, see sections '2.1 Business profile and strategy' and '3.5 Results by business segment' of the Integrated Annual Report 2023. The list of entities assigned to each segment is provided on our website.

The chief operating decision-maker monitors the results with reference to the financial reports that have been prepared using the same accounting policies as those used for the preparation of the financial statements. The primary alternative performance measure is Adjusted EBITDA. Additionally, the management also analyses Investments of each individual segment. All measures are calculated using the data presented in the financial statements, and selected items which are not defined by IFRS are adjusted by the management. The Group's management calculates the main performance measures as described by the definitions of Alternative Performance Measures, which can be found in section '7.3 Alternative Performance Measures' of the Integrated Annual Report 2023.

5.1 EBITDA

The management's adjustments include:

  • − temporary regulatory differences (if any);
  • − asset rotation result (if any);
  • − significant one-off gains or losses (if any).

In the management's view, Adjusted EBITDA more accurately presents the results of the operations and enables a better comparison of the results between the periods as they indicate the amount that was actually earned by the Group in the reporting period.

The management's adjustments used in calculating Adjusted EBITDA:

9M 2024 9M 2023 ∆, %

Adjusted EBITDA 397.0 345.3 51.7 15.0%

(1) Temporary regulatory differences. The difference between the actual profit earned during the reporting period and the profit approved by the regulator (NERC) is eliminated.

(2) One-off financial activity adjustments.

One-off financial activity adjustments for 9M 2023 include the elimination of investment funds' increase in fair value (EUR 20.2 million).

An additional income tax adjustment of 15% (statutory income tax rate in Lithuania) is applied to all of the above net profit adjustments.

During 9M 2024, the Group earned 83.4% (80.8% in 9M 2023) of its revenue in Lithuania. The Group's revenue from other countries decreased to 16.6%, mainly due to lower electricity and natural gas volumes sold and lower market prices, mostly in Finland and Latvia.

Purchase of natural gas and related services 287.4 672.0

Total 982.9 1,300.2

The Group's purchase of electricity, natural gas and other purchases in 9M 2024 decreased by 24.4% compared to 9M 2023. The decrease was caused by the lower purchase of natural gas and related services, mainly due to lower volumes purchased and lower market prices. Expenses from the purchase of electricity and related services increased by 9.8%. The increase was mainly impacted by higher electricity transmission expenses due to a higher tariff set by the regulator.

12.2 Significant accounting estimates: Investment funds – at FVTPL

The Group has invested into investment funds. The funds are managed by independent entities (managers), which are responsible for the investment decisions. Accordingly, in the Group management's view, the Group does not have the power to manage the activities of the funds and does not have the control over them.

As at 30 September 2024, the carrying value of the Smart Energy Fund amounted to EUR 22.4 million (31 December 2023: EUR 22.4 million), the carrying value of the World Fund amounted to EUR 12.5 million (31 December 2023: EUR 9.6 million).

The fair value of the funds was determined by reference to the exits of investments, new investment rounds or other recent events and data (Note 21).

The fair value of the funds corresponds to Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

13 Trade receivables

As at 30 September 2024 and 30 September 2023, the Group had not pledged the claim rights to trade receivables.

No interest is charged on trade receivables, and the regular settlement period is between 15 and 30 days. Trade receivables for which the settlement period is more than 30 days comprise an insignificant part of the total trade receivables. The Group doesn't provide a settlement period that is longer than 1 year. The Group didn't identify any financing components. For terms and conditions on settlements between the related parties, see Note 20.

14.2 Cancellation of the treasury shares reserve

At the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on 27 March 2024, it was decided to cancel the reserve for the acquisition of own ordinary registered shares and to transfer EUR 37.7 million from the 'Treasury shares reserve' to 'Retained earnings'.

14.3 Dividends

EURm 9M 2024 9M 2023

A dividend of EUR 48.0 million was approved for the first half of 2024 at the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders held on 11 September 2024, and EUR 46.5 million was approved for the second half of 2023 at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on 27 March 2024. A dividend of EUR 46.5 million was approved for the first half of 2023 at the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders held on 21 September 2023, and EUR 45.2 million was approved for the second half of 2022 at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on 30 March 2023.

14.4 Dividends declared to non-controlling interest

The Group uses the anticipated-acquisition method for recognising the put option redemption liability because, under the anticipated-acquisition method, the interests of the non-controlling shareholders are derecognised when the financial liability is recognised, therefore, the underlying interests are presented as already owned by the equity holders of the parent company both in the Statement of financial position and in the Statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, even though legally they still are the non-controlling interest.

Due to the above, the dividends declared during 9M 2024 by the parent company's subsidiary UAB Kauno kogeneracinė jėgainė for the non-controlling interest of EUR 11.8 million (EUR 14.3 million in 9M 2023) were presented as dividends to non-controlling interest.

14.5 Earnings per share

The Group's earnings per share and diluted earnings per share were as follows:

EURm 9M 2024 9M 2023
Net profit for the period 214.0 212.6

Indicators of basic and diluted earnings per share have been calculated based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares as at 30 September 2024 of 72,388,960 (30 September 2023: 72,388,960).

21 Fair values of financial instruments

21.1 Financial instruments for which fair value is disclosed

The fair value of the Group's loans granted was calculated by discounting the cash flows with a market interest rate applied for a similar-period bond. The cash flows were discounted using a weighted average discount rate of 3.65% as at 30 September 2024 (31 December 2023: 3.95%). The measurement of the fair value of the financial instruments related to the loans granted is attributed to Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of the Group's issued bonds was calculated by discounting the future cash flows related to the coupon payments with reference to the interest rate observable in the market and the regular future payments related to the bonds issued. The cash flows were discounted using a weighted average discount rate of 3.65% as at 30 September 2024 (31 December 2023: 3.95%). The discount rates for each issued bond were determined as certain bond yields. The measurement of the fair value of issued bonds is attributed to Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of the Group's loans received was calculated by discounting the cash flows with a market interest rate applied for a similar-period bond. The cash flows were discounted using a weighted average discount rate of 3.65% as at 30 September 2024 (31 December 2023: 3.95%). The measurement of the fair value of loans received is attributed to Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

22.3 Networks segment's income level for electricity distribution in 2025

NERC established ESO's income level for electricity distribution services for 2025, comprising EUR 321.6 million, which is 4.0% higher compared to the income level set for the year 2024 (EUR 309.1 million) and an income level for the natural gas distribution services for 2025, comprising EUR 57.1 million, which is 11.6% lower compared to the income level set for the year 2024 (EUR 64.6 million). The income level changes were mainly influenced by:

Decrease

  • − lower electricity technological expenses, which have decreased due to lower electricity purchase price (the electricity technological expenses decreased by 19.9% compared to the electricity technological expenses in 2024);
  • − lower natural gas technological expenses, which have decreased due to lower natural gas prices (the natural gas technological expenses decreased by 22.0% compared to the natuaral gas technological expenses in 2024);

Increase

  • − the income level for the year 2025 has increased due to the growth in operating costs, which reflects the tendencies of macroeconomic indicators, and the the additional repair costs required for the electricity distribution network for the year 2025;
  • − higher return on investment, which increases as a result of investments into ESO assets and the higher weighted cost of capital (weighted average cost of capital, WACC).

There were no other significant events after the reporting period till the issue of these financial statements.
