The errors leading to the change in unaudited consolidated revenues result from accrued income from certain intercompany transactions being incorrectly identified as third-party revenues. There is no change in revenues from electricity generation. The impact on EBITDA follows directly from the reduction in revenues but with some mitigations. The Group has taken steps to improve its internal control procedures related to intercompany transactions because of these errors.
The adjusted equity ratio reduces from 28.5% to 28.0%, which remains comfortably above the bond covenant level.
The standalone entity results for Photon Energy NV are not affected by these changes.
As previously communicated, the Audited Financial Statements for 2023 will be published on 24 April 2024.
