Reggio Emilia, 30 July 2025 - Today, the Board of Directors of IREN S.p.A. approved the consolidated financial statements at 30 June 2025.
Luca Dal Fabbro, Chair of the Group, said: "Today we are approving very positive results with revenues of 3,486 million euro (+29%) and a net profit of 184 million euro (+24%) compared to last year; in particular, the growth in net profit is the result of the positive contribution of all business units and the two extraordinary operations of Iren Acqua and Egea Holding. The diversification of our industrial structure allows us to intercept several growth opportunities, both organic and inorganic, and thus increase Ebitda by € 90 million compared to last year, of which € 34 million came from the consolidation of Egea Holding. On the strength of the growth already achieved, which anticipates part of the growth expected by the end of the year, we confirm the guidance with an expected 2025 Ebitda of between € 1,340-1,360 million, a net profit of between € 300-310 million and technical investments of more than € 900 million.
Gianluca Bufo, Chief Executive Officer and General Manager of the Group, said: "The first half of the year closed with a very solid operating performance, characterised by double-digit growth in all the main indicators, even better than in the first quarter: Ebitda at EUR 726 million (+14%) reflects the effectiveness on the one hand of the execution of our strategic choices and continuous technical development investments, totalling almost EUR 400 million in the half year and more than covered by operating cash flow, and on the other hand the renewed optimisation of internal processes with a focus on costs. In light of the current trend, we look forward to the second half of the year with confidence, confirming the guidance.
Moris Ferretti, Deputy Chairman of the Group said: "The first half of 2025 confirms that an industrial strategy integrated with sustainability is the key to success. The start-up of the new paper recycling plant in Collegno is a concrete example of this: it allows us not only to expand treatment capacity, but also to increase material recovery, thus transforming a waste into a valuable resource. Separate waste collection of around 70% in the served territories and a 7% increase in wastewater treatment capacity highlight the Group's continuous progress towards increasingly sustainable management of all activities. These results were achieved thanks to the commitment and expertise of the more than 11,860 people who contribute daily to the growth of the Group and the territories in which we operate."
Consolidated Revenues as at 30 June 2025 amounted to € 3,485.6 million, up +29.2% compared to € 2,697.6 million in the first half of 2024. The main drivers of revenue growth are energy revenues, which were impacted by rising commodity prices for approximately € 190 million and higher energy volumes sold for approximately € 250 million. In addition, the consolidation of the EGEA Holding group with effect from 1 January 2025 for more than € 200 million and the energy efficiency activities for about € 50 million makes a positive contribution.
Gross Operating Profit (EBITDA) amounted to EUR 726.2 million, a significant increase (+14.2%) compared to EUR 635.8 million for the first half of 2024. The period was characterised by several positive factors, such as the favourable energy scenario with rising commodity prices (PUN +28.4% and PSV +39.1%), organic growth, the overall positive regulatory effects for the Environment sector, as well
Investor Relations Giulio Domma Tel. + 39 0521.248410 [email protected] Media Relations Roberto Bergandi Tel. + 39 011 5549911 Mobile + 39 335.6327398 [email protected]

as the change in the scope of consolidation due to the entry of the EGEA Holding group on 1 January 2025.
As far as the energy scenario is concerned, the increase in prices led to contrasting, but overall positive effects (+€ 15 million) by improving margins on electricity production (+€ 18 million), partially offset by lower margins on heat production (-€ 3 million). The positive contribution to the electricity and heat production margin is also related to the higher quantities produced (+€14 million), particularly in the hydroelectric sector (+9%), thanks to the high hydraulicity of the period, and in the thermoelectric sector (+69.2%), due to the full availability of the plants and a more favourable climate scenario. The energy commodities marketing business decreased (-€ 6 million), mainly due to the expected lower margin on gas sales, a business that in the first months of 2024 had benefited from an extraordinary positive margin and therefore not replicable, while margins on electricity sales improved slightly. A positive contribution to the margin is also generated by organic growth mainly related to tariff awards as a result of the investments made on the Networks BU in recent years (+€ 11 million) and the regulatory effects for the revision of tariff parameters, which are positive overall (+€ 5 million, of which Environment +€ 7 million and Networks -€ 2 million). Two extraordinary items also emerged during the first half of the year, namely the recognition of premiums/penalties for the technical/commercial quality of the integrated water service (2022-2023 period) recognised by Arera to the companies of the BU Reti (for a net balance of +8 million euro) and the recognition by the Council of State of the appeals against Resolution 570/19 concerning certain components of the gas tariff method for the 2020-2025 period (+€ 10 million). These items more than offset the absence of the gains related to the tariff adjustments for the recovery of inflation of the integrated water system, which had positively characterised the year 2024 and are no longer repeatable, and the reduction of the WACC recognised in the gas and electricity distribution sectors. Lastly, the entry of the EGEA Holding group into the scope of consolidation as of 1 January 2025 (+€ 34 million) contributed to the improvement in the margin. The change in margin with reference to the individual business units is broken down as follows: the Energy business unit improved strongly with +30.6%, Networks +13.9%, Market +6.5% and Environment +6.3%.
Operating profit (EBIT) amounted to EUR 326.3 million, an increase of +16.9% compared to EUR 279.2 million for the first half of 2024. During the period, there was higher depreciation and amortisation of € 29 million related to new investments and the expansion of the scope of consolidation (€ 17 million), higher accruals to the provision for bad debts of € 11 million, higher accruals to the provision for risks of € 2 million, and a lower release of provisions of € 2 million that had characterised the first half of 2024.
Group net profit attributable to shareholders amounted to € 183.5 million, an increase (+24.0%) from the result recorded in the first half of 2024. The growth reflects the trend in EBITDA and benefits from the reduction in minority interests related to the acquisition of the minority stake in Iren Acqua.
Net financial debt stood at € 4,228 million as at 30 June 2025, up € 145 million (+4%) from the 31 December 2024 figure. In this regard, the operating cash flow amounted to € 435 million, largely covering the technical investments made of € 393 million, while the € 500 million raised through the hybrid bond issue was, as planned, entirely used for the financial investments for the period of € 522 million.

Total investments made in the period amounted to € 915 million, an increase compared to 2024, of which € 393 million in technical investments (+14%) and € 522 million in financial investments attributable to the acquisition of the minority stake in Iren Acqua (€ 283 million), the exercise of the call and the consolidation of Egea Holding (€ 238 million). It should also be noted that 72% of investments are aligned with the European Taxonomy and are earmarked for sustainability projects, in line with business plan forecasts.

EBITDA amounted to € 270.5 million, an increase of +13.9% compared to € 237.5 million in the previous year, and was mainly attributable to the increase in tariff constraints and the aforementioned premiums on the technical and commercial quality of the integrated water cycle.
In the first half of 2025, the Group distributed 1,737 GWh of electricity, 642 million cubic metres of gas and sold 96 million cubic metres of water.
Investor Relations Giulio Domma Tel. + 39 0521.248410 [email protected] Media Relations Roberto Bergandi Tel. + 39 011 5549911 Mobile + 39 335.6327398 [email protected]

As of 30 June 2025, the sector's gross capital expenditure amounted to € 182 million, up 11.9% compared to the first half of 2024, earmarked for the construction, development and extraordinary maintenance of the integrated water service network and the refurbishment of wastewater treatment plants, the resilience of the electricity distribution network and the construction of new primary and secondary substations, some of which are part of the PNRR plan, the installation of electronic metres, the digitisation of activities and the redevelopment of capital properties.
The Gross Operating Margin amounted to € 132.3 million, up +6.3% compared to € 124.5 million in the first half of 2024. The margin trend is characterised by an improvement in the result of the Collection business, mainly due to the approval of the new business plans in the Tuscany and La Spezia areas, and of the Disposal business in particular, thanks to the contribution of the waste-to-energy plants, which last year had recorded some shutdowns for maintenance/faults, and of the higher margins of the landfills due to the increase in the quantities disposed of. On the other hand, treatment and valorisation activities decreased, partly as a consequence of the fire that occurred in the second half of 2024 and which led to the stoppage of activities at the Cadelbosco plastics recovery plant. Contributing positively to the increase in the margin for the period was the contribution of the companies EGEA Ambiente and Sisea of the EGEA Holding group.
During the first six months of 2025, the waste managed amounted to approximately 2,093 thousand tonnes.
As at 30 June 2025, grossinvestmentsin the sector amounted to 74.4 million euros, up +6.1% compared to 70.1 million euros in the previous year. Investments relate to the purchase of collection vehicles and equipment and the construction of plants; in particular, these include the FORSU plant in La Spezia, the paper treatment plant (IRM) in Collegno (Turin) and the Costa material recycling plant in Rovigo.
The Gross Operating Margin amounted to € 173.5 million, up +30.6% compared to € 133 million in the first half of 2024. The trend in the energy scenario was characterised by an upward price trend (PUN +29%) with positive effects on electricity production margins also supported by increased production, particularly hydroelectric production (+9%) and thermoelectric (+69.2%) and electric cogeneration (+3.5%). Heat production also improved as a result of the higher quantities produced, which helped absorb the decreasing sales margins also due to the positive, non-repeatable effects on hedging that had benefited the margin in H1 2024.
During the period, electricity generated by the Energy BU totalled 4,472 GWh, up +14.6% from 3,902 GWh in the first half of last year. Electricity production from cogeneration was 2,561 GWh (+3.5%), thermoelectric production was 1,003 GWh (+69.2%), and production from renewable sources was 908 GWh (+8.6%).
Heat produced amounted to 1,559 GWht, an increase of +9.6% compared to the first half of 2024 due to a more favourable heating season and network developments to 113.5 Mmc of district heating volumes compared to 101.1 Mmc in the first half of 2024 (+12.3%) also thanks to the integration with EGEA Holding group companies.

Gross investments of € 56.6 million were made as at 30 June 2025, up +8.5% from € 52.2 million in the first half of 2024. Major projects include the development of district heating networks and photovoltaic plants.
The segment's EBITDA amounted to € 147.7 million, up +6.5% compared to € 138.5 million in the first half of 2024, taking into account the positive contribution of EGEA Energie, consolidated as of 1 January 2025.
Directly marketed electricity in the period amounted to 3,829 GWh, up (+22.8%), compared to June 2024 supported by the free market (+16.7%) with growth in both the retail and small business segment (+31.2%) and the business segment (+31.1%), offset by a decline in the wholesale segment (-20.6%). The market for greater protection, on the other hand, declined (-53.6%) mainly as a result of the liberalisation of part of the market.
In addition, 1,236 Mmc of gas was purchased, down -1.2% compared to the first half of 2024, mainly as a result of less gas being marketed and stored by the Group.
Gross investments of EUR 45.1 million were made as at 30 June 2025, up +18.8% compared to EUR 38 million in H1 2024.
In a complex and highly uncertain macroeconomic environment caused by geopolitical tensions, the main risks with potential impact on the Group's results are two: interest rate trends linked to macroeconomic dynamics and commodity price volatility.
The second half of the year will be characterised by the continuation of the investments envisaged in the Business Plan, primarily aimed at improving the efficiency of the energy and water distribution networks, the development of waste collection activities, and generation capacity from renewable sources.
In the coming months, we also expect an increase in tariff revenues from regulated businesses supported by investments and a recovery in the marginality of waste treatment plants.
Expectations for the energy sector are for lower hydroelectric production compared to the extraordinary volumes recorded last year, partly offset by an increase in thermoelectric production. The margins of the Market BU are expected to be stable, even in a very challenging competitive environment, to which the Group is responding with a strategy of high-value customer retention.
The Group's overall results are expected to be in line with the forecasts already communicated with the presentation of the results for the first quarter of 2025.
The results as at 30 June 2025 will be presented today, 30 July, at 3.30 pm in web casting in listen-only mode at www.gruppoiren.it Investors section.
