In January – February 2021, the Group generated revenue of EUR 269.5 million, which is 18.7 % more compared to a respective period of 2020 (EUR 227.0 million). Revenue increase was driven by higher revenue of the CCGT unit of Flexible Generation segment due to higher electricity volumes generated caused by favourable market conditions. Also Group's revenue increased as a result of higher revenue from electricity sales to business customers in Customers & Solutions segment as well as higher revenue from electricity distribution due to higher distributed volumes in Networks segment. Both of these effects were mostly related to colder weather conditions compared to 2020.

The adjusted EBITDA in January – February 2021 was equal to EUR 63.4 million, i.e. 21.7 % more compared to a respective period of 2020 (EUR 52.1 million). Adjusted EBITDA results grew in all of Group’s operating segments:

Green Generation segment result increased as a result of Kaunas CHP activities as the plant was launched in August 2020;
Flexible Generation segment grew due to better results from CCGT commercial activity due to favourable market conditions;
Customers & Solutions segment result grew due to a successful transaction of LNG cargo sale in January by effectively exploiting price changes in the market;
