"The results for the first quarter of 2025 confirm the resilience of our business model and Electrica Group's ability to perform in a complex economic and operational environment. The solid growth in EBITDA and net profit is mainly supported by the contribution of the distribution segment, as well as by the balanced performance across all our business lines.
At the same time, we are accelerating investments in infrastructure and renewable energy projects, with the clear objective of strengthening our position as a key player in Romania's energy transition.
I am confident that our operational discipline, long-term vision, and the professionalism of my colleagues will enable us to deliver sustainable value to all stakeholders and contribute to building a secure and green energy future for Romania."

EBITDA at the Electrica Group level recorded an increase of 14.6% or RON 58.5 mn. in Q1 2025, up to RON 459.3 mn., compared to Q1 2024, mainly due to the operational performance of the distribution segment, given the increase in revenues from electricity distribution by 14.8% or about RON 167.6 mn., to the value of RON 1,298.2 mn..
The operating profit had an increase of 25.7% or RON 64.1 mn., reaching a value of RON 313.4 mn. compared with the first three months of 2024, due to the increase in the operating revenues offset by the increase in operating costs.
The net profit for Q1 2025 recorded an increase of 53.2% or RON 68.0 mn., reaching a value of RON 195.7 mn.. This result is generated mainly by the performance of the distribution segment in the context of the increase in revenues as a result of the increase in quantity distributed.

On the distribution segment, revenues increased by approximately RON 167.6 mn. or 14.8% to RON 1,298.2 mn. (of which RON 684.2 mn. revenues with external customers), compared to Q1 2024, mainly due to the increase in the volume of electricity distributed by 4.8% compared to the previous period, combined with the increase in tariffs starting with 01.01.2025 by approx. 12.5%; the contribution of the electricity distribution segment to the Group's consolidated revenue is 27.2%.
For the supply segment, revenues increased in Q1 2025 by approximately RON 203.3 mn., or 12.6%, compared to the same period last year, to RON 1,818.1 mn. (of which RON 1,810.7 mn. RON revenues with the group's external customers), mainly as a net effect of the following 3 categories: i) the increase in the quantity of energy supplied on the retail market by 3.7%, ii) the increase in the purchase cost which results in higher subsidy revenues and iii) the change given by the new ANRE guide dated 29 July 2024 regarding the new calculation of the amounts to be recovered from the cap (subsidies). The contribution of the supply segment to the Group's consolidated revenues is in the proportion of 71.9%.
On 31 March 2025, the total amount estimated for subsidies was RON 2,398.6 mn. (31 December 2024: RON 1,976.7 mn.).
In case of Vulturu project (P = 12 MWp), starting 21 October 2024 it is connected to the National Energy System and is operating in the testing period according to the applicable regulations. Currently, the trial tests have been successfully completed and the certificate of compliance with the technical regulations issued by the responsible grid operator has been obtained.
In the case of Satu-Mare 2 project (P = 27 MWp), the final execution phase has started, and after the completion by the Distribution Operator of the connection installation, the necessary steps to perform the compliance tests and obtain the license for commercial operation of the production capacity, in accordance with the rules in force, will be followed;

The Company's distribution subsidiary, Distributie Energie Electrica Romania S.A. which resulted from the merger through absorption of the three distribution subsidiaries Societatea de Distributie a Energiei Electrice Transilvania Nord S.A., Societatea de Distributie a Energiei Electrice Muntenia Nord S.A. and Societatea de Distributie a Energiei Electrice Transilvania Sud S.A. now operates electric lines in 18 counties, from three geographical areas of the country, representing 40.8% of the Romanian territory, and serves over 3.98 million users. It invoices the electricity distribution service to electricity suppliers (mainly to Electrica Furnizare S.A. subsidiary) which further invoices the electricity consumption to final consumers.
The electricity and natural gas supply segment operates through Electrica Furnizare S.A. ("EFSA"), with its main activity electricity supply to end users, on the universal service segment and as a supplier of last resort, and as a supplier on the competitive market, all over Romania.
The Group holds an electricity supply license that covers the entire territory of Romania, valid until 2031. In order to extend the EFSA operations in Hungary, an electricity trading license was granted by the Autority for Regulation of Electricity and Public Utilities in Hungary (MEKH) to Electrica Furnizare, by Decision no. H879/2022. EFSA also holds a natural gas supply license valid until 2032.
In 2025, EFSA was designated supplier of last resort for electricity in January, and for natural gas it was nominated supplier of last resort also in January.
The Group is active in the production of electricity, especially from renewable sources.
The activity in the energy sector is regulated by the Romanian Energy Regulatory Authority.
Some of the main responsibilities of ANRE are to approve prices and tariffs and to issue substantiation methodologies used to set regulated prices and tariffs.
The distribution tariffs approved by the National Authority for Energy Regulation ("ANRE") are as follows (RON/MWh, presented cumulatively for medium and low voltage levels):

ANRE approved Order no. 97/2024, establishing the following:
ANRE approved Order no. 55/6.08.2024 establishing the regulated rate of return, in the amount of 6.94%, for the fifth regulatory period 2025-2029 (PR5).
The methodology for establishing distribution tariffs was approved on 17 September by ANRE Order no. 67/2024 and entered into force on 20 September 2024.
The main changes to the Methodology for PR5 compared to the Methodology for the fourth regulatory period (PR4):
I. Controllable (CC) and non-controllable (CNC) operation and maintenance costs:
CC and the efficiency factor for PR5 will be established based on the OPEX study carried out by ANRE with an external consultant;
Personnel costs are not subject to efficiency and will be adjusted annually with the inflation rate (IR) and by 5%;
Research and development costs will not be subject to efficiency, and can be requested by the distribution operator ("OD") in a maximum amount of 5 million RON per total PR5;
Expenses related to contracts with affiliated parties with the object of representing the OD, consulting services in the field of regulation, and expenses corresponding to the profit attributed to any subcontracted parties are not recognized;
The inflation correction between realized and forecasted IR is applied to personnel costs only if the difference in IR is positive.
II. Investments and BAR:
The minimum mandatory value for the investments made from own sources for the regulatory period is equal to the value of the cost with the total forecasted regulated depreciation approved for the regulatory period;
The minimum mandatory value for the investments made in RED from own sources in year t for the regulatory period is equal to 85% of the cost value with the total forecasted regulated depreciation approved for year t
AS AT AND FOR THE THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
(All amounts are in THOUSAND RON, if not otherwise stated)
at the beginning of the regulatory period;
BAR PR5 will be inflated with the predicted IR used in the RRR calculation;
Investments such as updating IT applications or databases will not be recognized in the BAR, they will be recognized as special expenses within the CNC;
Endowment-type assets will be recognized in the BAR if the OD demonstrates their efficiency.
III. RRR incentives:
RRR incentives of 1% for new investments in RED and 1% for PIC will no longer be granted;
For RED investments made within the projects co-financed from non-reimbursable EU funds, an incentive of 0.5% will be granted;
A 1% incentive is granted for the value that exceeds the minimum mandatory value of the investments made in RED;
RRR will increase or decrease by 0.5%, depending on the level of performance achieved by the OD regarding the development of a smart 4;
RRR is reduced by 2% for investments in endowments (administrative buildings and tangible and intangible assets), which will be PIF in PR5. As an exception, the RRR is not reduced in the case of the equipment used for the works in the RED and which lead to the maintenance and/or improvement of the RED parameters.
CPT targets will decrease linearly during PR5 by 15% for JT and by 6% for MT;
The CPT price recognized ex-post will not exceed the weighted average of the prices realized by the OD, plus 5%;
In times of crisis on the energy market, declared by normative acts, the CPT price realized by the OD will be recognized.
V. Revenues and tariffs
Annually, ANRE makes revenue corrections due to: change in the quantities of electricity distributed compared to the forecast; change in quantities and acquisition price for the regulated own technological consumption compared to the forecast; the annual change in controllable operating and maintenance costs, realized and accepted against the forecast; annual change in uncontrollable operating and maintenance costs compared to the forecast; changes in revenues from reactive energy compared to the forecast; failure to meet/exceeding the approved investments programme; revenues generated from other operations made by the distribution operator and the quantity of electricity recovered from recalculations.
The regulator establishes through the regulated income and tariffs for the following year taking into account the justified corrections presented above, which are added algebraically to the income for the following year. The Group does not recognize assets and liabilities resulting from regulation in relation to these deficits or surpluses, as the differences are recovered or returned through the annual tariff changes.
The regulatory framework suffered significant changes in the last decade in respect of: electricity and natural gas market liberalisation, separation of supply and distribution activities, implementation of the support scheme for renewable energy, support for the electricity consumers and prices caps for end users.
Starting with 1 November 2021, in the context of the increase in prices for the electricity and natural gas markets at international and national level, the energy crisis, as well as the effects caused by these increases among the population, in Romania, a series of support measures for electricity and natural gas customers have been applied, by establishing compensation and capping schemes between 1 November 2021 and 31 March 2025 for both electricity and natural gas, applicable to 1 April 2025 – 30 June 2025 for electricity and to 1 April 2025 – 31 March 2026 for natural gas.
Over 2025 as in the prior years, the following legal components had an impact on the electricity and gas supply operations:
Starting with 1 April 2024, the MACEE price changes, respectively it decreases from 450 lei/MWh to 400 lei/MWh. At the same time, producers can sell electricity voluntarily through MACEE.
In accordance with the provisions of GEO no. 32/2024 from 1 April 2024:
• the rule regarding the payment of 40% of the amount related to the capping within 10 days from the date of submission of the application is changed - in the new guide for the payment of the amount related to the capping there are 10 days from the date ANRE confirms to the Ministry of Energy ("ME")/National Agency for Payments and Social Inspection ("ANPIS") the correctness data "within the limits of the amounts available in the Energy
(All amounts are in THOUSAND RON, if not otherwise stated)
Transition Fund and other legally established amounts";
Additionally, on 29.07.2024, ANRE modified the Guide for completing the data that is uploaded on the ANRE portal in order to settle from the state budget the amounts related to price capping for final customers, with applicability from 1 January 2024 for electricity. The main changes consist in the recognition of the amount for which the settlement is made, respectively the consumption billed for the month of analysis, and the way of allocating imbalances based on the weight of the consumption made by each category of customers (eligible and FUI, including the wholesale market). This algorithm for allocating purchase costs significantly impacts the full recovery of costs recorded by suppliers.
Law no. 316/2024 was published in the Official Gazette on 23 December 2024, which approved GEO no. 32/2024 and introduced a settlement procedure for the volumes of electricity/natural gas for which payment was requested, applicable until 31 March 2026. The settlement of the amounts paid from the State budget to the electricity and natural gas suppliers, after submission to ANRE, for each month of the period and for each category of customers benefitting from the capped final price, of information related to energy quantities invoiced for the months of consumption within the applicable period, following certain changes of the amounts already paid from the State budget.
The categories of customers to whom the electricity price capped applies to the first quarter of 2025:
The categories of customers to whom the natural gas price capped applies to 2025:
The compensated amounts are settled by the National Agency for Payments and Social Inspection ("ANPIS") for household consumers and by the Ministry of Energy for non-household consumers.
Transactions on the competitive wholesale market are transparent, public, centralized and non-discriminatory. Participants on the wholesale market can trade electricity based on bilateral contracts concluded on dedicated markets.
A new capping scheme was approved by GEO no. 6/2025, published in the Official Bulletin on 28 February 2025, on the measures applicable to end users of the electricity market for the period 1 Aprilie 2025 - 30 June 2025, and to end users of the natural gas market for the period 1 April 2025 - 31 March 2026, respectively. Therefore, this GEO provides for:
(All amounts are in THOUSAND RON, if not otherwise stated)
violation and is sanctioned with a fine of between 25,000 lei and 50,000 lei;
In the first quarter of 2025, trading electricity on wholesale market was made transparently on the centralised markets operated by OPCOM and Romanian Commodities Exchange ("BRM"), based on directly negotiated bilateral contracts; transactions on the sport market moved to BRM starting February.
Producers of electricity from renewable energy sources (RES) have the right, according to Law no. 220/2008, to receive a certain number of green certificates, depending on the technology used (for example: hydraulic, wind, solar, geothermal, biomass, bioliquids, biogas), for each MWh produced and delivered to the network and for a certain period of time, depending on the degree of novelty of the group/power plant.
Starting from February 2013, the Stanesti photovoltaic park has the right to receive (the month from which it started injecting electricity into the network), for a period of 15 (fifteen) years, 6 (six) green certificates for each MWh of electricity produced and delivered to the grid, out of which, for the period 1 July 2013 – 31 December 2020, according to Law 23/2014 and Law 184/2018, 2 (two) green certificates were postponed from trading. Those two GC postponed from trading are to be recovered in equal monthly tranches starting from 1 January 2021 until 31 December 2030.
The green certificates issued by Transelectrica for the production made by the Stanesti photovoltaic park, during the validity period of the accreditation decision issued by ANRE, can be traded, according to GEO 24/2017, until 31 March 2032, respectively including the period after the expiration of the validity period of the accreditation decision (31 January 2028 in the case of the Stanesti photovoltaic park).
The sale of green certificates can be made on OPCOM markets (spot and combined market). The selling price has to be within the minimum and maximum values provided by Law 220/2008 (para. 11) on establishing the system to promote the production of energy from renewable energy sources, republished and subsequently amended.
For 2025 OPCOM set the minimum value of a green certificate to 146,2532 RON (29.4 euro), while for 2024 the minimum value was 145,4271 RON.
The regulatory framework on the electricity segment has undergone significant changes in the last decade, regarding the total liberalization of the electricity and natural gas market, the implementation of the support scheme for renewable energy, the support of electricity consumers, the limitation of prices to final consumers and the capitalization of additional costs with own technological consumption.
As a result, for the distribution segment, Romanian Regulatory Authority for Energy – ANRE (https://www.anre.ro/) adopted measures through its Order no. 129/12.10.2022 approving the Methodological Norms regarding the
(All amounts are in THOUSAND RON, if not otherwise stated)
recognition in the tariffs of the additional costs with the acquisition of electricity for own technological consumption compared to the costs included in the regulated tariffs, carried out between 1 January 2022 – 31 March 2025.
ANRE will determine the recognized annual amounts of the capitalized costs based on the quantities and prices recognized for NL, and by 15 March of the year immediately following the year of capitalization of the additional costs, ANRE will transmit to the distribution operators the recognized annual amounts of the capitalized costs for the previous year. The computation of the capitalized amounts is carried out in compliance with the legislation specific to the entities that are the subject of GEO 119/2022, with subsequent additions and changes.
By GEO no. 21/2025 on modification and complementation of title X of Law no. 227/2015 on Tax Code, and by modification and complementation of certain legislation, a tax on special buildings was instated ("tax on poles"). The annual tax on special buildings is applicable starting with 04 April 2025 and it is computed by applying a 0.5% quota to the net carrying amount of constructions, except for those that are subject to the tax on buildings under title IX, existing as at 31 December of the preceding year or on the last day of the modified tax year preceding the tax year for which this tax is owed. The Group has estimated a tax liability for the full year 2025 of RON 31,000 thousand.
ANRE documents subject to public consultation:
The project of the order on modification and complementing the Procedure for substantiation and approval of development plans and other investments of the OD, approved by ANRE Order no. 98/2022, is aimed at harmonising this Procedure with the modifications to the distribution tariff setting methodology for PR5, with the main modifications referring to:
Investments efficiency – to be reflected by the benefits brought to the network users;
OD transparency – publication by the OD of certain forecasted information: the volume of new/ modernised / refurbished, increase in network capacity by integrating consumption and production;
Investments in endowments - clarifications on classification of endowments (those used in the distribution network have an RRR of 6.94%, while the rest have an RRR of 4.94%); and
Exclusion of interest, bank charges and foreign exchange differences on financing tangible and intangible assets that have been put in function from RAB.
The project of the order on modification, complementing and abrogation of certain ANRE orders related to the electricity market provides for complementing of the ANRE regulations on foreward electricity markets by establishing the obligation of a 30% advance payment for certain contracts and the provision that the price of the transactions include the Tg component, with no further adjustment.
The project of the order on modification and complementing the regulatory framework related to connection of users to the public interest electricity network. The main provisions refer to changing the period of the connection process and to specific rules related to connecting production sites to the 110 kV and higher-voltage networks, including those related to delimitation points, splitting the costs between users and the right for compensation.
For the supply segment, in the first quarter of 2025, the effect of retail electricity prices was covered by subsidies received from the state authorities, as a result of the price ceiling mechanism for electricity and natural gas to final customers, following the application of GEO 27/2022, with subsequent amendments and additions. The implementation of these schemes and the mechanism for ex post payment from the State budget to the electricity suppliers of the amounts granted as a support for customers have raised cash flow constraints, as well as uncertainties related to the full recovery of the related amounts by the suppliers. Under such circumstances, EFSA has adapted to these changes in order to mitigate their impact on the company's operations in a responsible and sustainable manner, given multiple, successive and highly significant updates to the regulatory framework.
The Group actively reviews and implements policies and strategies to recover from the loss generated by the increase in energy price, strategies which mainly aim in revising the method of generating the selling price for final consumers, concluding agreements with specific clauses ensuring new financing facilities, closely monitoring suppliers and consumers payment terms, monitoring daily cash flow and forecasted cash flow. The Group continues to closely monitor the macroeconomic outlook and as additional information will be available, their effects on the activity of Group companies and over the financial results will be analyzed.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements ("interim financial statements") have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union ("IFRS-EU").
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared for submission to the Bucharest Stock Exchange. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on 27 May 2025.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. In making this judgement management considers current trading performance and access to finance resources. The Group has prepared a forecast that includes the following assumptions:
At the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements the regulatory position may be further amended and there may be further laws enacted which could adversely impact the Groups operating cash flows during the forecast period. Given the current market uncertainties, the Group is closely monitoring the market context and is continuously analysing the opportunities for optimisation of debt and increase of bank overdrafts and long-term loans. In light of the importance of the Group as the supplier and distributed of electricity on the Romanian market, having 39.3% (according to the latest ANRE report 2023 for the distribution segment) as market share on the electricity distribution and 17.16 % (according to the latest ANRE report January 2025 for the supply segment) as market share on the electricity supply market and having as main shareholder of Electrica SA the Romanian State, the management believes sufficient financing will be made available to cover any financing requirements arising from market uncertainty and Group will be able to meet its obligations as they fall due.
Based upon the above projections and other information, given the measures already implemented and the strategies to reduce the risks which may occur due to the instability of the economic environment, the Board of Directors has, at the time of approving the consolidated financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
In preparing these interim financial statements, management has made professional judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of Group's accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The significant professional judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2024.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for land and buildings which are measured based on the revaluation model.
The accounting policies applied in these interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Group's annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2024.
The new amendments to existing standards that are effective starting with 1 January 2025 do not have a significant impact over the Group's condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation or namely EBITDA) for operating segments is defined and calculated as segment profit/(loss) before tax of a given operating segment adjusted for i) depreciation, amortization and impairment/reversal of impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets in the operating segment, ii) impairment of assets held for sale and iii) net finance income in the operating segment. EBITDA is not an IFRS measure and should not be treated as an alternative to IFRS measures. Moreover, EBITDA is not uniformly defined. The method used to calculate EBITDA by other companies may differ significantly from that used by the Group. As a consequence, the EBITDA presented in this note cannot, as such, be relied upon for the purpose of comparison to EBITDA of other companies.

Tax audits are frequent in Romania, consisting of detailed verifications of the accounting records of taxpayers. Such audits sometimes take place after months, even years, from the date liabilities are established. Consequently, companies may be found liable for significant taxes and fines. Moreover, tax legislation is subject to frequent changes and the authorities demonstrate inconsistency in interpretation of the law.
Income tax returns may be subject to revision and corrections by tax authorities, generally for a five year period after they are completed.
The Group may incur expenses related to previous years' tax adjustments because of controls and litigations with tax authorities. The management of the Group believes that adequate provisions and liabilities were recorded in the consolidated financial statements for all significant tax obligations; however, a risk persists that the tax authorities might have different positions.
The Group is involved in a series of litigations and claims (e.g. with ANRE, ANAF, Court of Accounts, claims for damages, claims over land titles, labour related litigations etc.).
(All amounts are in THOUSAND RON, if not otherwise stated)
As summarised in Note 16, the Group made provisions for the litigations or claims for which the management assessed as probable the outflow of resources embodying economic benefits due to low chances of favourable outcomes of those litigations or disputes. The Group does not disclose information in the financial statements and did not made provisions for litigations and claims for which management assessed a remote possibility of outflow of economic benefits.
If applicable, the Group discloses information on the most significant amounts subject to litigations or claims for which the Group did not make provisions as they relate to possible obligations that arise from past events whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group (ie. litigations for which different inconsistent sentences were issued by the courts, or litigations which are in early stages and no preliminary ruling was issued so far).
On 30 April 2025, Electrica signed a syndicated loan contract of RON 3.1 billion. The signing of the contract was approved by GSM of 8 November 2024.

The results of the Corporate Strategy for the period 2019-2023 were the starting point for the analyses and debates necessary for the elaboration of the Corporate Strategy for the period 2024-2030. The Board of Directors approved the new strategic directions and objectives, the document being available on the company's website in the section Investors > Strategy Elements > Main elements of the Electrica Group Strategy for the period 2024-2030 – document published in December 2024.
The main strategic objectives assumed for the Group's General Strategy are:
Electrica aims to expand its energy production and storage capacity, focusing on renewable sources and innovative solutions:
For the integration of renewable sources and grid optimization, Electrica provides:
Electrica aims to introduce a wide range of services for B2B and B2C customers:
Directions such as:
Electrica plans to digitize most processes (80% by 2030):
The focus is on:
Electrica is stepping up its efforts towards sustainability:
These measures demonstrate Electrica's commitment to a sustainable future, based on innovation and efficiency. In addition to the traditional areas of interest, namely electricity distribution, electricity and natural gas supply and energy services, there is a high interest in the development of new activities, based on innovative technology, while continuing the monitoring and analysis of growth opportunities through mergers or acquisitions. Also, a closer relationship with customers is pursued, based on the development of skills, but also on an offer of products and services in line with their needs.
Also, an important role will be played by optimizing IT&C support functions and aligning with industry-specific trends and solutions. In this context, beyond the digitization of processes and their integration into IT platforms, the development of smart grids, the integration of smart meters at the pace of their implementation plan, support for the operationalization of prosumers, etc., are provided in the distribution area. In the supply area, the development of a customer-friendly interface, the automation of contracting, reporting and invoicing processes and data exchange with all distributors in Romania are critical elements supported by IT&C in order to ensure strategic advantages to the Group's business segments.
The corporate governance framework continues to be improved, with the close follow-up of the Corporate Governance Action Plan established together with the EBRD since 2014. The establishment of the Climate Governance and Public Policy Committee was approved in order to prepare the necessary framework for the implementation of initiatives that contribute to the achievement of the EU objective of zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and to ensure the long-term resilience of the companies within the Group, in the light of potential structural changes in the business environment, resulting from climate change.
From a process-oriented culture to a results-oriented and customer-centric culture, through leadership and improving employee satisfaction, we aim to realign the culture with the vision, mission and core values of the organization to achieve the strategic objectives proposed in the 2024-2030 horizon.
We are committed to cultivating a culture that embraces diversity, we remain committed to creating the most
equitable and inclusive workplaces, advancing the representation of diversity at every level of the organization.
By translating overall strategic objectives into specific objectives and initiative plans, at the level of each subsidiary, the organization adapts to market conditions, customer expectations and the rapid pace of technology so as to deliver value consistently.

Electrica's revenues and other income for the three-month period ended 31 March 2025 and 31 March 2024 amounted to RON 3,176.2 mn. and RON 2,569.7 mn., respectively, representing an increase of approx. RON 606.4 mn., or 23.6%; the variation in revenues is an increase of RON 285.4 mn. due to the increase in volumes distributed and supplied, while the change in other operating revenues is mainly due to subsidies (amounts to be recovered as a result of the application of the electricity price cap) recognized by the supply subsidiary (EFSA). Other operating revenues recorded in Q1 2025 compared to Q1 2024, an increase of RON 321.1 mn. due to the increase in the purchase cost which results in higher revenues from subsidies.
On 29 July 2024, ANRE updated the guidelines for the calculation of the amounts to be recovered from the capping to be carried out based on the provisions of GEO 27/2022, starting 1 January 2024, the way of allocating imbalances and the way of allocating contracts between FUI/non-FUI customer categories are updated. Thus, subsidy revenues as of 31 March 2025 amounted to RON 622.7 mn. compared to RON 302.2 mn. recorded in the same period of 2024.
Additionally, Emergency Ordinance no. 32/2024, amended and supplemented GEO no. 27/2022, and for the period April 1, 2024 - December 31, 2024, the MACEE was amended, so that generators will voluntarily sell to OPCOM at the price of 400 RON/MWh and OD buys electricity from OPCOM at the price of 400 RON/MWh.
Emergency Ordinance no. 32/2024, amended and supplemented Emergency Ordinance no. 27/2022, so that MACEE was functional only until 31 December 2024.

The revenues increased by RON 285.4 mn., or 12.8%, being the net effect of the following main factors:
During the three months period ended 31 March 2025, revenues from the electricity distribution segment increased by approx. RON 167.6 mn., or 14.8%, to RON 1,298.2 mn., from RON 1,130.6 mn. in the same period of the previous year, as a result of the following factors:
As for the supply segment, revenues from electricity and natural gas supply increased by RON 203.3 mn., or 12.6%, to RON 1,818.1 mn. in Q1 2025, from RON 1,614.9 mn. in Q1 2024.
The variation is mainly generated by the increase in the amount of energy supplied on the retail market by 3.7%; ii) the increase in the acquisition cost, which determnies higher subsidy revenues and iii) the amendment given by the new ANRE guide of 29 July 2024 regarding the new calculation of the amounts to be recovered from the capping (subsidies).
In Q1 2025, the expense for electricity and gas purchased increased by RON 562.4 mn., or 36.4%, to RON 2,105.5 mn., from RON 1,543.1 mn. in the comparative period.
This variation is the net impact of the increase of electricity costs on the supply segment, and by the decrease in electricity costs for NL coverage on distribution segment.
The table below presents the structure of the electricity, gas and merchandise purchased for the indicated periods:
Table 8. Structure of the electricity, gas and merchandise purchased (RON mn.)
| Three months period ending 31 March | 2025 | 2024 | % |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electricity purchased to cover network losses | 420.7 | 315.5 | 33.4% |
| Electricity and natural gas purchased for supply | 1,437.2 | 1,006.3 | 42.8% |
| Transportation and system services related to the supply activity | 95.1 | 77.6 | 22.6% |
| Purchased goods | 6.0 | - | 100% |
| Green Certificates | 146.5 | 143.7 | 1.9% |
| Total electricity, goods and natural gas purchased | 2,105.5 | 1,543.0 | 36.5% |
Source: Electrica
In Q1 2025 the expense of electricity and gas purchased (including green certificates and transportation and system services) increased by RON 451,3 mn., or 36,8%, up to RON 1.678,8 mn., from RON 1,227.5 mn. in Q1 2024.
In 2021, after the complete liberalization of the energy market, the purchase prices were approximately the same both on the competitive segment and on the universal service and FUI segment. Starting with the end of March 2021 the acquisition market has registered significant increases manifested at international level and determined by the international economic and political context. Thus, the growth recorded in the purchasing market was transferred to the end customers, within the limits allowed by the legislation in force and by the contracts concluded with the end customer.
It should be noted that energy suppliers are unable to terminate existing contracts according to the Electricity and Natural Gas Law no. 123/2012, based on Art. 57.
The cost of green certificates (GCs) is recognized in the statement of profit or loss based on a quantitative quota established by the regulator and is influenced by the quantity of GCs that the Group is required to purchase for the current year and the purchase price of the GCs on the centralized market. The cost of purchasing green certificates is a re-invoiced cost.
Regarding the distribution segment, in the three-month period ended 31 March 2025, the cost of electricity purchased to cover the NL increased by RON 105.2 mn., or 33.4%, to RON 420.7 mn., from RON 315.5 mn., the evolution being generated by the increase in electricity purchase prices by 27% compared to the first 3 months of 2024 as a result of the elimination of the centralized purchasing mechanism MACEE and being counterbalanced by the decrease in electricity volumes necessary to cover the NL by 12% compared to the first three months of 2024.
In Q1 2025, the expenses with the construction of the electrical networks in connection with the concession contracts decreased by RON 40.4 mn., or 17.9%, to RON 185.5 mn., from RON 225.9 mn. in the comparative period, being correlated with the evolution of the investments realized, related to the Regulated Asset Base, and the allocation of the investment plan throughout the year.
The expenses for salaries and employee benefits increased by RON 35.1 mn., or 15.0%, to RON 269.9 mn. in Q1 2025, from RON 234.8 mn. in Q1 2024, determined mainly from the increase of benefits negociated through CCM.
In the first three months of 2025, the other operating expenses decreased by RON 24.4 mn., or 19.2%, to RON 102.3 mn., from RON 126.7 mn. in the same period of 2024.
Group EBITDA increased by approx. RON 58.5 mn. compared to the same period of the previous year, reaching the value of RON 459.3 mn. in Q1 2025 from RON 400.8 mn. in Q1 2024.

The materiality threshold established internally at Group level in the analysis of the main indicators (below) is RON 23.0 mn., representing 5% of EBITDA.
The non-current assets increased by RON 95.3 mn. in 2025, from RON 7,631.7 mn. as of 31 December 2024, to RON 7,726.9 mn. at 31 March 2025, this variation being mainly the effect of:
In 2025, current assets increased by RON 773.3 mn. compared to 31 December 2024, from RON 6,307.7 mn. to RON 7,081.0 mn., this evolution is mainly due to the increase in the balance of subsidies receivable as at 31 March 2025 by RON 421.9 mn. compared to 31 December 2024, the increase in cash and cash equivalents by RON 430.2 mn., effect mitigated by the decrease of RON 76.5 mn. in trade receivables and the decrease of RON 35.1 mn. in inventories.
Trade receivables mainly include unpaid invoices issued up to the reporting date for the supply and distribution of electricity and services, penalties for late payment and estimated receivables related to electricity delivered and services rendered up to the year-end, but invoiced after the year-end.
Trade receivables decreased by RON 76.5 mn. in 2025, from RON 3,675.7 mn. to RON 3,599.2 mn. at 31 March 2025.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash balances, demand deposits and current accounts with banks.

Long-term liabilities increased from RON 2,195.4 mn. at 31 December 2024 to RON 3,373.9 mn. at 31 March 2025.
This evolution is a net effect of the change in the main categories of long-term debt, the most significant of which is the increase in the balances of long-term loans of the distribution subsidiary (Investment Credit granted by the European Investment Bank "EIB") which made in Q1 2025 another 2 drawdowns compared to the end of the year amounting to RON 1,070.3 mn.
In the first 3 months of 2025, current liabilities decreased by RON 505.2 mn. to RON 5,537.9 mn. from RON 6,043.0 mn. at the end of 2024, mainly as a result of the evolution of the categories listed below.
Overdrafts decreased by RON 593.2 mn. in the first 3 months of 2025 from RON 2,490.7 mn. at 31 December 2024 to RON 1,897.4 mn. at 31 March 2025 due to the use of the drawdown of the loan with EIB, refinancing part of the amounts used from other lines for investment projects.
At 31 March 2025, trade payables increased by approximately RON 103.0 mn. to RON 1,249.4 mn. from RON 1,146.4 mn. at 31 December 2024.
For the distribution segment, the significant changes in the Romanian legislation were detailed in chapter 2.2 Applicable regulatory framework and in Annex A.9.2.1 of this report.
In 2022, according to the Government's emergency ordinance (OUG) no. 119/2022, the additional costs for the purchase of electricity (determined as the difference between the realized costs and the costs included in the approved distribution tariffs), realized between 01 January 2022 and 31 August 2023, in order to cover the NL, compared to the costs included in the tariffs regulated (and not only loans), are capitalized quarterly and remunerated with 50% of the regulated rate of return (RRR) approved by ANRE, applicable during the amortization period of the respective costs and are recognized as a distinct component in the regulated tariffs, called the component related to additional costs with NL. Also, ANRE developed the Methodological Norms regarding the recognition in tariffs of the additional costs with the purchase of electricity to cover the own technological consumption compared to the costs included in the regulated tariffs, with the aim of establishing the way of substantiating the additional costs with the purchase of electricity for NL coverage as well as the conditions for their recognition in the regulated income on the basis of which the distribution tariffs are established.
According to Emergency Ordinance no. 153/2022, between 1 January 2023 and 31 March 2025, the mechanism for the centralized purchase of electricity is established, with OPCOM being designated as the sole purchaser. The distribution operators ("DO") will buy from OPCOM through an annual/monthly mechanism 75% of the quantity forecast and validated by ANRE at the price of 450 lei/MWh, and the producers will sell to OPCOM through an annual/monthly mechanism 80% of the quantity forecasted and validated by ANRE and Transelectrica at the price of 450 lei/MWh.
Emergency Ordinance no. 32/2024, GEO no. 27/2022, so that MACEE was functional only until December 31, 2024.
The methodology for setting distribution tariffs approved by ANRE Order no. 67/2024, establishes the regulatory framework for the fifth regulatory period (PR5) and the method of establishing the regulated revenues and the rentability of the distribution subsidiary's assets. The regulated revenues of the DSO consist of: (i) non-NL revenues that are recovered through the tariffs applied to consumers and (ii) NL revenues that are recovered from both consumers and electricity producers.
For RP5, the approved RRR value is 6.94%, with the following incentives or penalties and RRR reductions being granted:
Supply segment will focus on diversifying its activity through offers and services adapted to customer needs, on operational efficiency through optimized electricity sales and purchase processes and on orientation towards customers and maximizing their satisfaction. The aim is to increase the supply segment, offer value-added solutions (products and services) and specific operations and processes digitalization.
Please consider that other factors that are not available at the date of this report (e.g. regulations and legislation in process of being amended) or that have not been presented above, or that have not been taken into account by the Group, may appear and can have a significant impact on Group's strategy implementation and evolution.
The regulatory framework has undergone significant changes in the last decade, including liberalization of electricity and natural gas markets, supply and distribution activities separation, support scheme implementation for renewable energy, electricity prosumers support and price capping for end customers.
In 2025 the price was set by suppliers through free market mechanisms, both for universal service offers and for offers related to competitive market, in compliance with price capping rules on invoicing.
Regarding last-resort electricity and natural gas supply, a monthly rotation system was introduced for SoLR nomination, which automatically accepts customers from all areas of the country. For this purpose, SoLR list is established according to the market share, each SoLR on the list being nominated in turn, monthly, to automatically take over the customers left without a supplier.
Thus, during the first quarter of 2025, Electrica Furnizare was nominated electricity and natural gas supplier of last resortIn January 2025.
First quarter of 2025 was characterized by low liquidity in the wholesale market generated by the low number of offers for sale, reluctance to conclude long-term contracts, amid legislative uncertainty regarding the extension or modification of the capping scheme after April 1, 2025.
GEO no. 6/27.02.2025 introduced specific measures to protect final electricity and natural gas customers, such as the extension of the price cap period for:
The geopolitical context continues to have an important impact in uncertainty and volatility of the trading price evolution.
The trading price in the DAM during the evening peak hours recorded values of over RON 1,000/MWh, the maximum recorded being in January, respectively RON 3,001.98/MWh. The causes that led to this price increase were: the reduction of the volumes offered and the increase in electricity consumption. Electricity production decreased by about 14% compared to the same period last year and, to compensate for the shortfall in domestic production, Romania had to import energy by 1,335 GWh more than the 1st quarter of 2024.
The average trading price of energy in the DAM in Q1 2025 was RON 664.57/MWh, up by approximately 81% compared to the average price recorded in 2024, respectively RON 366.53/MWh.
Starting with March 2025, on days with low consumption (Sundays or public holidays) and high production from renewable sources, there were intervals with negative trading price in the DAM.
For natural gas, the average trading price in the DAM doubled in the first quarter of 2025, respectively RON 273.10/MWh, compared to the similar period of 2024, when the price was RON 136.22/MWh.
In the BM, the resulting cost for the first month of 2025 is approximately RON 22/MWh. By GEO no. 6/2025, starting with 01.04.2025, a supplier is recognized the equivalent value of the imbalance in the settlement process of the capping scheme in a percentage of 10% (compared to 5%, previously) of the equivalent value of the electricity purchased through all forward contracts and from the SPOT markets.
From the analyses carried out, it resulted that these costs are largely generated by the created and unrecognized imbalances of prosumers. Factors such as the rapid development of the prosumer segment, the lack of historical data for making a forecast based on mathematical models, the absence of real-time measurement data, have a significant impact on the estimation of imbalances..
It is difficult to estimate the evolution of the wholesale electricity and natural gas market in the coming period. Price volatility continues to be very high, amid geopolitical tensions, the increase in renewable energy production without major investments in storage capacities, but also the maintenance of low consumer demand, which is why prices are expected to have a similar dynamic to that recorded during 2024.
The impact on customers in the dynamic national and international context:
The Group's portfolio also includes the energy services segment (equipment maintenance, repairs and other additional services related to the network), performed almost entirely for the distribution companies outside the Group.
Electrica Serv will multiply the efforts to develop the market for "green energy" generation solutions – photovoltaic power plants and reactive energy compensators – by strengthening the partnership with EFSA in finding solutions and opportunities for efficiency for customers, by mounting photovoltaic panels and reactive energy compensators, intelligent lighting solutions, backup power, smart metering.
The main objectives of the SERV for the next period are:
For the first quarter of 2025, building on the objectives outlined in the Digitization Strategy approved in 2022, the Group continued to advance its digital transformation journey by accelerating the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and expanding digitization initiatives across business functions. These efforts have already started to deliver significant benefits, enhancing operational efficiency, decision-making processes, and overall organizational agility.
The application of AI technologies across various operational and support functions has enabled real-time data analysis, predictive insights, and automated workflows, contributing to the optimization of internal processes and the improvement of customer-facing services. Key areas of AI integration include customer service automation, intelligent document processing, fraud detection, and supply chain optimization.
To further institutionalize innovation, the Group has strengthened its Innovation and Emerging Technologies Lab, focusing on the exploration and pilot implementation of cutting-edge solutions such as AI-powered analytics, machine learning models, and smart automation tools. These initiatives aim to drive innovation at scale, boosting competitiveness and positioning the organization as a tech-forward leader in its industry.
Given the increasing complexity of digital ecosystems and the rising number of cyber threats, the Group has also prioritized cybersecurity resilience. Investments have been made in next-generation security platforms, along with the launch of comprehensive training and awareness programs to foster a strong culture of cybersecurity across the organization.
Beyond enhancing IT&C infrastructure, the Group remains committed to developing digital-first customer experiences, offering personalized, flexible, and responsive services. By leveraging digitization and AI, the organization is better positioned to anticipate market trends, adapt to dynamic customer expectations, and sustain long-term growth in a rapidly evolving digital environment.

The main changes:
New definitions are introduced for the storage operator and the storage service provider providing storage services
Storage facility operators are exempt from paying for transmission, system, distribution, GC and cogeneration contribution
The annual construction tax is calculated by applying a rate of 0.5% on the net value of the constructions, for which no building tax/building tax is due according to the provisions of Title IX, existing in the taxpayers' patrimony on December 31 of the previous year/on the last day of the amended fiscal year prior to the one for which the construction tax is due;
The Methodology proposes:
Establishing a set of indicators to monitor:
the quality of the electricity distribution/transmission service;
Integration of renewable electricity generation (E-RES), storage facilities and flexibility services;
the level of digitization of electricity networks.
The evaluation of the performance of each network operator (RO) is made through a composite performance indicator, determined as a weighted average of the monitored indicators.
2025 The monitoring of the indicators and the determination of the composite performance indicator is done annually, starting with 2027. In 2024-2025, the composite indicator is determined as a weighted average based on quality indicators, those of integration of production, storage facilities and flexibility services, and the weighting coefficients are equal For indicators reflecting the degree of digitalisation of networks, it is proposed to set targets to be achieved by DSOs. The thresholds against which the RRR increases or decreases by 0.5% depending on the value achieved in one year of the composite performance indicator: - if it is higher than 90%, the RRR is increased by 0.5%; - if it is less than 70%, RRR is reduced by 0.5% The draft order for amending and supplementing the Procedure for substantiating and approving the development and investment plans of the RO, approved by ANRE Order no. 98/2022 – public consultation The draft envisages harmonization with the amendments brought to the RP5 Distribution Tariff Setting Methodology, and the main changes refer to: - Efficiency of investments – reflected in terms of the benefits brought to the users of the network; - Elaboration of Development Plans (NDP) with the consultation of relevant users: county councils, local and central public authorities, producers' associations, consumers' associations; - NDP transparency - publication by the DSO of the expected results to be obtained: the volume of new/modernized/refurbished installations, the increase in network capacity for the integration of consumption and production. - Investments in endowments - clarifications regarding the classification of endowments (those used in grid have RRR 6.94%, the rest have RRR 4.94%); - Failure to include in the RAB interest, bank commissions and exchange rate differences related to loans for financing tangible and intangible assets put into operation.
