Half-yearly financial report 2025 Fluxys Belgium

We are committed to continuing to build a greener energy future for the generations to come. People, industry and societies all need energy to thrive and progress. Fluxys Belgium accommodates this need: we put energy in motion through our infrastructure. We move natural gas while paving the way for the transmission of hydrogen, biomethane or any other carbon-neutral energy carrier as well as carbon dioxide, accommodating the capture, usage and storage of the latter.

Revenue and net profit/loss

The Fluxys Belgium group generated a revenue of €329.3 million in the first half of 2025, up €32.6 million year on year (€296.7 million).

The change in the profit figures can chiefly be explained by the change in the components covered by the regulated tariffs. The tariff methodology stipulates that reasonable operating costs should be covered by revenue.

Net profit is down from €40.6 million to €32.3 million. The change in the net profit for the period can primarily be explained by the expenditure for the hydrogen and CO2 business areas for which the regulatory framework is currently being developed. The latent asset will become a regulated asset once the regulatory framework is set out and will have a positive impact on results.

€88.7 million invested

In the first half of 2025, investments in property, plant and equipment came to €88.7 million compared to €37.1 million for the same period in 2024. Of this amount, €48.4 million was allocated to gas transmission, €25.7 million to hydrogen transmission, €8.1 million to CO2 transmission and €4.5 million to storage-related projects.

3. Key events

Volumes to Germany and the Netherlands up significantly

The geopolitical situation in Ukraine has significantly altered the dynamics of the gas markets and the direction of gas flows. With Zeebrugge serving as a crossroads, our Belgian network continues to play its role as an energy hub in North-West Europe.

Shipping traffic hit an unprecedented high, with nearly 80 ships unloaded at the LNG terminal in Zeebrugge. On 6 June, flows from the terminal into the Belgian grid set a new record at 716 GWh, equivalent to the output from 30 nuclear units in one day.

Demand for natural gas flows from Belgium to Germany and the Netherlands increased significantly in the first half of 2025 compared to 2024.

Border-to-border volumes in the first half of the year were up 20% to 160 TWh, while volumes for consumption on the Belgian market were up slightly to 82 TWh (compared to 79.5 TWh in the first half of 2024). Flows to Germany increased to 98 TWh (compared to 84 TWh in the first half of 2024), while flows to the Netherlands totalled 48 TWh (compared to 36 TWh in the first half of 2024).

Storage totally full

In view of the war in Ukraine, the European Union requires member states to ensure, by 1 November each year, that their gas storage facilities are at least 90% full so they can go into the winter with buffers filled as much as possible. The underground storage facility in Loenhout was already completely full by early August.

Necessary additional transmission capacity completely future-proof

Additional capacity is needed on the Belgian network to offset the loss of L-gas from the Netherlands, supply the new power plants that are being commissioned and maintain substantial flows to Germany. Accordingly, we are laying a new pipeline on the Zeebrugge-Brussels axis that is fully future-proof in light of the energy transition. It can be used to transport hydrogen as soon as the market is ready for it.

The pipeline under construction, will connect Zeebrugge (Knokke) to Ghent (Evergem) and will provide an additional capacity of 5 GWh/h at the entry point to our network in Zeebrugge. This comes in addition to the 15 GWh/h provided by the first section of the Ghent (Desteldonk) – Brussels (Opwijk) pipeline, which we commissioned in early 2024. The total additional capacity provided at the entry point to our network in Zeebrugge will therefore amount to 20 GWh/h.

New loading docks commissioned at Zeebrugge

On 1 January 2025, four new loading docks entered service at the Zeebrugge terminal for loading LNG containers and trailers. This new infrastructure is a response to the sharp increase in demand – especially from the transport sector – for LNG and bio-LNG. In the first half of 2025, 22% more trucks were loaded than in the first half of 2024.

Zeebrugge strengthens its role on the bio-LNG market

Terminal users can have biomethane converted into bio-LNG thanks to the bio-LNG liquefaction service that Fluxys LNG has offered since 2020, making biofuel accessible to the heavy road transport and maritime transport sectors. Bio-LNG liquefaction is entering a second growth phase in 2025, linked to the use of bio-LNG for bunkering in the North Sea. This led to a total of 1069 GWh of booked capacity in the first half of 2025, compared to 614 GWh in the first half of 2024. In addition, a new monthly record of 290 GWh was set in June 2025.

Due to increased demand from the German transport sector, the volume of bio-LNG increased ninefold in 2024 compared to 2023, an increase that is continuing in 2025.

Start of construction on initial hydrogen and CO2 infrastructure

Spring saw the start of construction on the first hydrogen pipelines in and between the Antwerp and Ghent port areas. Construction of the first CO2 pipelines has also begun in the Antwerp port area.

Our infrastructure will gradually expand in the years ahead in line with market demand and in so far as the investment risk in the start-up phase of the hydrogen and CO2 markets is brought to an acceptable level via support mechanisms.

Fluxys c-grid appointed as CO2 network operator in Wallonia

In July, Fluxys c-grid was appointed as the operator for developing and operating a CO₂ transmission network in Wallonia. Fluxys c-grid has also applied to be the CO2 network operator in Flanders. Flanders is expected to decide on this matter shortly. Fluxys c-grid is a 77.5% subsidiary of Fluxys Belgium, with Pipelink, Socofe and SFPIM as partners.

Fluxys c-grid Antwerp – a 70% subsidiary of Fluxys Belgium established as a joint venture between Fluxys Belgium, Pipelink and Air Liquide to develop and operate a CO₂ pipeline network in the Antwerp port area in line with Flemish regulations – was founded in early 2025. Fluxys c-grid Antwerp has submitted its application, and Flanders is expected to take a decision within the next few months.

New step in the development of cross-border CO2 infrastructure

In late June, Fluxys signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with German transmission system operator OGE and Norwegian energy company Equinor, in the presence of the Minister-Presidents of Flanders and North Rhine-Westphalia. This memorandum of understanding is an important step in the development of cross-border infrastructure for CO₂ transmission and storage. The MoU forms the

basis for a trans-European CO₂ transmission network that connects industrial emitters in Germany via Belgium with permanent storage sites in the North Sea.

Towards climate neutrality

As a company, we aim to be climate neutral by 2050 and to halve our greenhouse gas emissions by 2025.

In late 2023, Zeebrugge LNG Terminal saw the commissioning of three additional open rack vaporisers, which use heat from seawater to regasify LNG. These facilities substantially limit CO2 emissions at the terminal. In the first six months of 2025 this meant a CO2 reduction of approximately 90 kilotonnes.

Another example of our green investments is our solar park in Loenhout, which has a peak capacity of 5.5 MW and has been operational since mid-2025. On sunny days, this facility has already been able to cover the site's entire electricity needs for several hours on multiple occasions, even during the injection season when consumption is typically high.

4. Transactions with related parties

Transactions with related parties are detailed in Explanatory Note 11 of the condensed half-yearly financial statements in the 2025 half-yearly financial report.

5. Financial outlook

In accordance with the 2024-2027 tariff method, the net profit/loss from Belgian regulated activities is determined by various regulatory parameters, including equity invested and financial structure, as well as incentives.

The recurring dividend will continue to evolve, primarily on the basis of the parameters above. We have noted a decrease in net profit during the first half of the year. This can primarily be explained by the expenditure for the hydrogen and CO2 business, for which the regulatory framework is currently being drawn up.

Once the regulatory framework has been set out, the contingent assets will be converted into regulatory assets and will have a positive impact on results.

At the end of March, the EU's 14th Sanctions Package against Russia entered into force, prohibiting reloading of LNG from Russia for export to non-EU countries. As always, the Zeebrugge LNG terminal continues to operate in full compliance with the applicable Belgian, European and international regulations. There is a Royal Decree to set out the methods of implementation of the 14th EU Sanctions Package. The LNG terminal has amended its operating rules as a consequence, and the performance of the existing contracts continues in accordance with the sanctions, with no negative impact on Fluxys Belgium's financial performance.

6. Risk management

6.1. Enterprise risk management

Fluxys Belgium's enterprise risk management (ERM) system is based on standard ISO 31000 and is integrated into the company's strategy, business decisions and activities. The risk management system covers all business risks, including risks related to the material ESG domains for the company. The system maps the impact that risks can have from different perspectives in the short, medium and long term: the impact on people and the environment and the impact on Fluxys Belgium's value creation, operational performance and reputation. The risk management system assesses the risks and opportunities arising from climate change by extrapolating the 2030 and 2050 deadlines to three timeframes: the short term (0-1 years), the medium term (2-5 years) and the long term (5 -10 years).

Accordingly, it identifies and quantifies the risks associated with Fluxys Belgium's operations and value chain, the risks associated with natural disasters, or unfavourable weather conditions, the price and volumes of CO2 emissions, as well as reputational risk. In addition, opportunities linked to new developments in the market for hydrogen and carbon capture and storage are analysed for their potential impact on the company's financial performance. Risks and opportunities are assessed based on a combination of the magnitude of the impact and the likelihood that the impact will materialise.

6.2. Process actors

Risk Management organises the risk management system and reports annually to the Audit and Risk Committee. All our departments identify, analyse and evaluate their risks and report on how risks are managed. They work with management to map out the main risks, controls and mitigating measures. Every year, the Audit and Risk Committee examines the risk management system and all key risks, controls and mitigating measures.

6.3. Internal control process

The 'three lines of defence' model is the internal control model used to manage our risks and carry out controls.

6.5. Global geopolitical developments

Since the outbreak of war in Ukraine in February 2022, various sanctions have been imposed against Russia and Belarus, as well as against Russian and Belarussian companies. Fluxys Belgium is not active on the Russian market and has no investments in Russian companies. In its activities, Fluxys Belgium conducts business with Russian companies in accordance with Belgian, European and international legislation and operates in full compliance with the EU's sanctions regime. Fluxys LNG is the Fluxys Belgium subsidiary most exposed to a Russiancontrolled counterparty via long-term contracts. In June 2024, the Council of the European Union adopted a 14th package of sanctions against Russia. The package prohibits the transshipment of LNG from Russia for export to non-EU countries from 27 March 2025 onwards.

Fluxys' Zeebrugge terminal is underpinned by the legal principle of open access. This means that any company interested in LNG capacity can reserve it at the terminal. In other words, no customer can be discriminated against, by law. As an essential service provider, Fluxys Belgium ensures that its infrastructure is operational at all times for the overall security of supply. As in the past, we continue to work in complete compliance with the applicable Belgian, European and international regulations. A Belgian Royal Decree defines the terms and conditions for implementing the 14th package of sanctions.

The LNG terminal has adjusted its operating procedures accordingly in order to remain in line with the sanctions.

Fluxys Belgium remains committed to full compliance with all applicable legislation, regulations and sanctions. We closely monitor all legislative developments and changes to relevant sanctions regimes and will adjust our policies and procedures accordingly in order to remain compliant.

6.6. Insurance

Fluxys Belgium's risk management process assesses the likelihood of the main risks connected to its activities and estimates the potential financial impact thereof. Depending on the possibilities and the market conditions, the Group mainly covers these risks via the insurance market. The comprehensive cover is in line with European best practices in the field and includes the different areas in which risks may materialise:

  • protection of facilities against various types of material damage; in specific cases, facilities also have additional cover for loss of earnings as a result of unavailability due to damage;
  • protection against third-party liability by means of comprehensive, multi-level cover;
  • staff programme: mandatory insurance cover (occupational accidents) and staff healthcare programme;
  • protection of the vehicle fleet by means of appropriate insurance.

In some cases, risks are partially reinsured by Flux Re, a wholly owned subsidiary of Fluxys Belgium, or are partially retained and self-insured, for example by applying appropriate deductibles. Flux Re mainly reinsures material and financial risks and, to a limited extent, general and environmental liability (not life or health risks). The fact that Flux Re is fully consolidated in the Group's accounts means that the cost of damage claims covered by the Group's reinsurance policy are booked to the consolidated result. Flux Re also reinsures certain risks facing other Fluxys Group companies. Where appropriate, compensation paid in the event of damages involving these parties will impact Fluxys Belgium's IFRS consolidated result. Non-insurable risks are covered by appropriate contractual clauses, financial guarantees and regulatory mechanisms.

We have noted a decrease in the balance sheet total. This can primarily be explained by a decrease in current assets and equity following the payment of the dividend.

During the first half of the year, the group has continued with its investment plan, which is reflected in the stability of property, plant and equipment despite the depreciation charges. Additionally, there is a considerable rise in inventory in preparation for future works.

Furthermore, current tax liabilities increased due to the increase in estimated tax liabilities for the previous financial year, following a transfer of advance payments to the current financial year.

The decrease in the net profit for the period can primarily be explained by the expenditure for the hydrogen and CO2 business, for which the regulatory framework is currently being drawn up. Once the regulatory framework has been clarified, the contingent asset will be converted into regulatory asset, thereby positively impacting the result.

24 Interim Report Condensed half-yearly financial statements Definition of indicators

3. Selection of explanatory notes

Note 1. General information

Note 1a. Statement of compliance with IFRS

The condensed financial statements of Fluxys Belgium and its subsidiaries (the 'Group' or 'the Fluxys Belgium Group') for the first half of 2025 have been established in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards, and in particular IAS 34 'Interim financial reporting' as adopted by the European Union, and have been subjected to a limited review by the statutory auditor.

They include a selection of explanatory notes and should be read in parallel with the consolidated financial statements of 31 December 2024.

All amounts are stated in thousands of euro.

Note 1b. Judgement and use of estimates

There have been no significant changes in the accounting estimates and judgements compared with the 2024 annual report.

Note 1c. Date of authorisation for issue

The Board of Directors of Fluxys Belgium SA authorised these half-yearly IFRS financial statements of Fluxys Belgium and its subsidiaries for issue on 24 September 2025.

Note 1d. Changes or additions to the accounting principles and policies

The condensed interim financial statements ended 30 June 2025 were prepared using the same accounting methods as those adopted for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2024.

The following standards and interpretations are applicable for the annual period starting on or after 1 January 2025 but have no impact on the condensed interim financial statements of the group:

Amendments to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: lack of exchangeability, date of entry into force: 1st of January 2025

Amendments to IFRS 9 Classification and Measurement Requirements and IFRS 7 Disclosures, date of entry into force: 1st of January 2026

Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 - Nature-Dependent Electricity Contracts, date of entry into force: 1st of January 2026

Annual improvements Volume 11

IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, date of entry into force: 1st of January 2027

IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures, date of entry into force: 1st of January 2027

Since the financial year beginning on 1 January 2024, Publigas, including its participation in Fluxys NV and its Belgian and foreign subsidiaries, will be subject to the so-called Pillar Two Law (law introducing a minimum tax for multinational companies and large domestic groups) of 19 December 2023. This law generally follows Council Directive (EU) 2022/2523 of 14 December 2022.

The purpose of the law is to guarantee a global minimum level of taxation for Belgian multinational enterprise groups and large Belgian groups. The law includes a series of measures that should result in the application of a minimum effective tax rate of 15% for the Publigas group, which is a multinational group with a consolidated turnover of more than 750 million euros for at least two of the four previous financial years.

The Publigas group aims to correctly comply with this new legislation, both in Belgium and in the other countries in which the group is present. The group's focus is on the application of the 'Transitional CbCR Safe Harbour' rules. Based on an analysis of historical data, the Publigas group expects to be able to apply these rules in most of the jurisdictions in which the group operates. For the purposes of the Pillar-Two rules under the GloBE model, Publigaz SC (Belgian legal entity) has been identified as the ultimate parent entity of the group as a whole and Fluxys Belgium as an entity that forms part of the ultimate parent entity (and specifically as a partially-owned parent entity).

Fluxys Belgium has applied the exception relating to the recognition and disclosure of deferred tax assets and liabilities associated with Pillar Two income taxes. The Publigas Group can reasonably be expected to be able to make use of the transitional rules of exemption from Country-by-Country Reporting for all the jurisdictions in which Fluxys Belgium operates and consequently, no additional taxation is expected for Fluxys Belgium.

The application of these amendments has not had a significant impact on the financial statements of the group.

Note 2. Seasonal nature of activities in the interim period

Even though some transmission services for example could be of a seasonal nature, the operating income from activities subject to the Gas Act is barely influenced by the seasonal nature of activities.

The operating income from these activities corresponds for the period pro rata with the estimated annual fair profit margin on invested capital.

This margin is reduced or supplemented by manageable cost variances resulting from taking into account an efficiency factor determined ex ante.

Note 3. Acquisitions, disposals and restructuring

Consolidation scope

The consolidation scope and percentage interests in consolidated entities have changed since 31 December 2024.

Fluxys c-grid Antwerp has been incorporated and is 70% held by the Fluxys Belgium Group.

Note 4. Income statement and operating segments

Operating segments

1

Fluxys Belgium group carries out activities in the following operating segments: transmission, storage, and terminalling activities in Belgium and other activities.

The segment information is based on a classification into these operating segments.

Transmission activities comprise all operations subject to the Gas Act related to transmission of gas and hydrogen in Belgium.

Storage activities comprise all operations subject to the Gas Act related to storage of gas at Loenhout in Belgium.

Terminalling activities comprise all activities subject to the Gas Act related to the LNG terminal at Zeebrugge in Belgium.

The segment 'other activities' comprises other services rendered by Fluxys Belgium and its subsidiaries such as participating in the IZT and ZPT terminals1 in Belgium, as well as work for third parties. On the balance sheet date, the CO2 activities also form part of this category.

The Fluxys Belgium group operates mainly in Belgium and does not therefore publish information by geographical sector.

The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) is the CEO.

Zeepipe Terminal (ZPT): Fluxys Belgium contributes to the operations of ZPT on a contractual basis (no participation).

Interconnector Zeebrugge Terminal (IZT): Fluxys Belgium provides certain operational support and maintenance services.The cooperation with IZT is contract-based (no participation by Fluxys Belgium).

Basis of accounting relating to transactions between operating segments

Transactions between operating segments mainly relate to capacity reservations by one segment subject to the Gas Act with another. These transactions are charged at the same regulatory tariffs as for external clients. Furthermore, transfers of supplies necessary for future investments in new activities are also included and account for the majority of the amounts in the first half of the current year.

Operating revenue for the first half of 2025 amounted to €329 257 thousand, compared with €296 745 thousand for the first half of 2024, an increase of €32 thousand. This can primarily be explained by the increase in regulatory charges.

Transmission, storage and terminalling services in Belgium are subject to the Gas Act. Revenue from these services aims to ensure an authorised return on capital invested and to cover permitted depreciation and the operating expenses related to these services, while integrating the efficiencyefforts to be realised by the network operator. Their accounting treatment remains identical to that of the 2024 balance sheet date.

The decrease in revenue from transmission activity is essentially linked to high volumes of capacity sales and premiums paid at auctions in the first half of 2024. As sales are still above the tariff proposal, the surplus is allocated to regulatory liabilities. This decline in transport sales is more than offset by a decrease in the allocation to the regulatory liabilities Revenue from storage activities also declined slightly and is offset by lower allocation to regulatory liabilities. Sales in the terminalling activity are stable, and there is also a lower allocation to regulatory liabilities.

The increase in operating expenses compared to the same period in 2024 is chiefly explained by higher energy prices, higher maintenance costs, an increase in research costs for the new hydrogen and CO2 areas of business and an increase in employee expenses because of the higher headcount and the indexation of salaries. Sales and purchases of gas related to balancing operations and to cover operational needs are on the rise, but are neutral for the profit/loss, in accordance with the regulatory framework.

Depreciation increased by €4,990 thousand mainly due to the commissioning of the Gent (Desteldonk) - Brussels (Opwijk) pipeline in 2024.

Following the resolution of a dispute with the Flemish region, a reversal of a provision is included in the balance sheet in the first half of 2024, in the 'terminalling' section.

Following the resolution of a dispute with the Flemish Region, a reversal of a provision was recorded in the first half of 2024 in the 'terminalling' segment.

In terms of impairment losses, in 2024, there was a reversal of a depreciation on gas inventory because of an increase in the market price, whilst in 2025, an impairment loss of €3,128 thousand was recorded following the decline in market prices in the first half of 2025.

Financial income is down €24 033 thousand to €13 892 thousand, which can be explained by a decrease in interest rates on cash flow. Financial expenditure is down €38 345 thousand to €30 172 thousand, which can primarily be explained by a decrease in interest rates on regulatory liabilities.

Income taxes remain stable.

Net profit for the first half of 2025 is €32 347 thousand, compared to €40 587 thousand in the first half of 2024, down €8,240 thousand.

In the first half of 2025, investments in property, plant and equipment come to €88 737 thousand, compared to €37 144 thousand in the first half of 2024. In 2025, €82,203 thousand was allocated to transmission-related projects, €4 467 thousand to the storage business, and €2 018 thousand to terminalling-related projects. This change can primarily be explained by the construction of the Knokke-Evergem pipeline, for €21 978 thousand, and the construction of new pipelines for the H2/CO2 business, for €33 800 thousand.

  • 7.1. Other financing corresponds to the specific allocations of regulatory liabilities that are at the group's disposal to finance specific investments, notably for the second jetty at Zeebrugge, and for the cost associated with the conversion of part of the gas transmission network. Part of these amounts bears interest at a 10-year OLO rate and the remainder at the average 1-year Euribor rate. Auction premiums are presented under this category because the regulatory treatment is different in accordance with the European network code.
  • 7.2. The other regulatory liabilities included in 'other liabilities' include the positive differences between the regulated tariffs invoiced and the regulated tariffs acquired. These amounts bear interest at the average Euribor 1-year rate.

The regulatory liabilities are reconciled with the segment reporting and the statement of cash flows as follows:

The sum of use and additions amounts to -€22,270 thousand.

This decrease in regulatory liabilities also corresponds with the change in regulatory liabilities included in item II.1.2.5. of the cash flow table.

The €14 183 thousand interest charge on regulatory liabilities was accounted for in the finance costs.

The regulatory liabilities have gone down in the first half of 2025, mainly because of investments partly covered by the use of regulatory liabilities.

The cost of services rendered during the period is accounted for as employee expenses and in the net provisions.

Expenses relating to the effects of discounts are presented in the group financial results, as an offset against the expected return on plan assets. The expected return on plan assets is in line with the discount rate used to determine actuarial debt.

The evolution of provisions for employee benefits is essentially linked to the indexation of salaries and to the increase in the discount rates, as well as negative returns on plan assets. These remeasurements are directly recognised in equity through the other items in comprehensive income, in line with IAS 19 Employee benefits.

As at 30 June 2025, provisions for employee benefits 'target', shows a surplus of €20 905 thousand in plan assets compared to the actuarial liability of the estimated obligations.On 31 December 2024, this surplus was €18 618 thousand.Surpluses are accounted for in the asset side of the balance sheet, in the items 'Other non-current assets' and 'Other current assets'.

4. Statutory auditor's report

Statutory auditor's report on the limited review of Fluxys Belgium SA's condensed consolidated interim financial information for the six-month period ending 30 June 2025.

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Fluxys Belgium NV/SA as at 30 June 2025, the condensed consolidated income statement, the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and notes ("the condensed consolidated interim financial information"). The board of directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this condensed consolidated interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this condensed consolidated interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of the review,

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially more limited than that of an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial information as at 30 June 2025 and for the six-month period then ended is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union.

Declaration for the first half-year ending 30 June 2025

I here by attest that, to my knowledge:

  • the condensed financial statements of Fluxys Belgium, drawn up in accordance with the applicable accounting standards, give a true and fair view of the assets, financial position and profit/loss of the issuer and the companies included in the consolidation scope;
  • the interim report gives a true and fair view of the information that should be included therein, including the key events and the main transactions with related parties that have taken place in the first six months of the financial year and their impact on the condensed financial statements, as well as a description of the main risks and uncertainties for the remaining months of the financial year.

03 Definition of indicators

EBIT

Earnings Before Interests and Taxes or operating profit/loss from continuing operations plus the result of investments accounted for using the equity method and the dividends received from unconsolidated entities. The Group uses EBIT to monitor the operational performance of the group over time.

EBITDA

Earnings Before Interests, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation or operating profit/ loss from continuing operations, before depreciation, amortisation, impairment and provisions, plus the result of investments accounted for using the equity method and the dividends received from unconsolidated entities. The Group EBITDA to monitor the operational performance of the group over time, without considering non-cash expenses.

Net financial debt

Interest-bearing liabilities (including lease liabilities), less regulatory liabilities, noncurrent loans linked to debts, cash linked to early refinancing transactions and 75% of the balance of cash, cash equivalents and short- and long-term cash investments (the other 25% is considered as reserve for operational needs and therefore not available for investments). This indicator gives an idea about the amount of interest-bearing debt that would remain if all available cash would be used to reimburse loans.
