1.1 CEO's statement

Highlights

Performance

Our Adjusted EBITDA amounted to EUR 181.7 million (+21.2% YoY). Growth was recorded across all business segments except Reserve Capacities.

Green Capacities segment remains the largest contributor with a 42.4% share of our total Adjusted EBITDA.

Our Investments increased by 73.4% YoY and reached EUR 209.5 million due to tripled Investments in Green Capacities.

In line with our Dividend Policy, a dividend of EUR 0.643 per share, corresponding to EUR 46.5 million, was distributed for H2 2023.

We maintain our full-year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA guidance of EUR 440–470 million and Investments guidance of EUR 850–1,000 million.

Business development

In 3M 2024, we increased our Green Capacities Portfolio to 7.4 GW (from 7.1 GW) and Installed Capacity to 1.4 GW (from 1.3 GW). Our Secured Capacity stood at 2.9 GW.

We reached a number of significant milestones in the expansion and development of our Green Capacities Portfolio, including the following:

  • we, together with our partner CIP, won the second seabed site (Liivi 1) in the Estonian offshore wind tender and see the site as a natural extension of the Liivi 2 sea area (secured in December 2023);
  • Silesia WF I (50 MW) in Poland has reached COD;
  • we have secured grid capacity for the first early development BESS projects (<190 MW) in Lithuania;
  • we have submitted a bid in the tender for the second 700 MW Lithuanian offshore wind project. However, due to the limited number of participants, the tender did not convene but is expected to take place in due course, following a review of the tender conditions.

First three months 2024 interim report / Overview

In Networks, the total number of installed smart meters has exceeded 836 thousand.

In Customers & Solutions, we continue to expand the EV charging network in the Baltics, with multiple locations secured for the installation of 67 EV charging points.

Sustainability

Our Green Share of Generation decreased by 15.7 pp to 79.9% YoY due to proportionally higher electricity generation in CCGT (Reserve Capacities).

We reduced GHG emissions by 60.4% in Scope 2, while Scope 1 increased by 49.4% and Scope 3 by 5.5%, compared to 3M 2023. Total emissions amounted to 1.61 million t CO₂ eq and increased by 12.5% YoY.

Carbon intensity of Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions decreased by 33.8% YoY to 220 g CO₂-eq/kWh due to higher electricity production from renewables and reduction of Scope 2 emissions.

No fatal accidents were recorded, and employee Total Recordable Injury Rate (TRIR) was 0.99, contractor TRIR – 0, both well below the targeted threshold.

eNPS remained high at 65.5%.

Continued Green Capacities Portfolio growth

Performance

Our Adjusted EBITDA amounted to EUR 181.7 million in 3M 2024 and was EUR 31.8 million, or 21.2%, higher compared to 3M 2023. Adjusted EBITDA growth was recorded across all business segments except Reserve Capacities.

Green Capacities segment's Adjusted EBITDA increased primarily as a result of new assets launched (Mažeikiai WF, Silesia I WF and Vilnius CHP biomass unit) and higher captured electricity prices, mainly due to flexibility of the assets. Furthermore, Green Capacities remains the largest contributor with 42.4% share of our total Adjusted EBITDA. Networks segment's Adjusted EBITDA increased mainly due to higher RAB due to continued Investments into distribution network and higher WACC set by the regulator. Next, our Customers & Solutions higher result was driven by lower loss in electricity B2C business and better results in Latvia and Poland. In 3M 2024, electricity B2C activities loss amounted to EUR -8.2 million (EUR -16.4 million in 3M 2023). Finally, in Reserve Capacities segment strong performance was recorded during both – 3M of 2024 and 2023 due to utilised optionality to earn additional return in the market on top of regulated return. However, due to the extraordinary market conditions to earn additional return in the market in 3M 2023, YoY result decreased.

The Group's Investments in 3M 2024 increased by 73.4% YoY and reached EUR 209.5 million. Two thirds of the total Investments were directed towards the Green Capacities segment. The Investments into this segment have, in turn, tripled and reached EUR 138.9 million, with the majority directed towards new onshore wind farms.

Our leverage metrics remained strong. The Group's Net Debt decreased by 2.3% (EUR 1,287.8 million as of 31 March 2024 compared to EUR 1,317.5 million as of 31 December 2023). Our FFO/ Net Debt ratio remained at a solid level of 28.9% (compared to 29.4% as of 31 December 2023).

Lastly, in line with our dividend commitment, the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on 27 March 2024 made a decision to distribute a dividend of EUR 0.643 per share, corresponding to EUR 46.5 million, for H2 2023, which was distributed in April 2024.

Following the 3M 2024 performance, which was in line with our expectations, we maintain our full-year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA guidance of EUR 440–470 million and Investments guidance of EUR 850–1,000 million.

Business development

Since the beginning of 2024, we have continued expanding and developing our Green Capacities Portfolio.

In 3M 2024, we increased the Portfolio by 0.3 GW to 7.4 GW (from 7.1 GW). This is a result of greenfield capacity additions as we secured land for the development of hybrid projects, i.e.,

ignitis


First three months 2024 interim report / Overview

we will develop wind farms near our Latvian solar projects.

We also increased our Installed Capacity to 1.4 GW (from 1.3 GW) as Silesia WF I (50 MW) in Poland has reached COD in March. Our Secured Capacity stood at 2.9 GW.

Additionally, after the reporting period we have secured grid capacity for the first BESS projects in Lithuania, with the capacity of up to 190 MW.

Finally, we continue to make significant progress in the development of offshore wind. At Lithuanian offshore WF, we have successfully completed the first geophysical and geotechnical campaigns, initiated an environmental impact assessment and started taking wind and meteorological measurements in the Baltic Sea. We are also proud to have built up an experienced team, which now consists of more than 50 experts with extensive offshore wind development experience gained globally.

We also submitted a bid in the tender for the second 700 MW Lithuanian offshore wind project. However, due to the limited number of participants, the tender did not convene but is expected to take place in due course, following a review of the tender conditions.

Further on, together with our partner Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, we won the second seabed site (Liivi 1) in the Estonian offshore wind tender and see the site as a natural extension of the Liivi 2 sea area (secured in December 2023). This will allow to capture greater synergies and optimise the projects by developing the sites as a single offshore wind project. The actual capacity of the offshore

wind farm is expected to be 1–1.5 GW. The Group currently includes the minimum size (1 GW) of the actual capacity in the Portfolio.

In the Networks segment, we are successfully continuing the smart meter roll-out. The total number of installed smart meters has exceeded 836 thousand, and our target of completing the mass roll-out by the end of 2025 remains unchanged.

And on the Customers & Solutions front, we secured multiple locations across Lithuania and Estonia for the installation of 67 EV charging points as we work towards enabling the expansion of the EV charging network in the Baltics.

Sustainability

During 3M 2024, we continued to build a resilient and robust organisation by adhering to the highest ESG principles and committing to the principles of the UN Global Compact.

We are continuing our decarbonisation initiatives to minimise our environmental impact. In 3M 2024, the Group's carbon intensity of Scope 1 and 2 emissions decreased by 33.3% YoY to 220 g CO₂-eq/kWh. In early 2024, we signed a letter urging the EU to set a reduction target of 90% by 2040 for greenhouse gas emissions. More information is available here.

As we had two minor health and safety incidents this year, our top priority remains educating our employees and contractors on and preventing occupational health and safety (OHS) issues. We are continuing the OHS programme 'Is it safe?' to promote safety culture.

The significance of scoring high in employee overall experience (eNPS) and receiving the Top Employer certificate for the third consecutive year cannot be overstated. These accolades are a testament to our successful implementation and maintenance of a holistic employee well-being approach.

In February 2024, CDP placed us among 37% of companies that reached the Management level in Energy utility networks with a 'B' score ('A-' in 2023). Additionally after the reporting period, Sustainalytics improved the Group's ESG Risk Rating score from 25.2 'medium risk' to 24.8 'medium risk'.

Strategic Plan 2024–2027

In May 2024, we announced our Strategic Plan 2024–2027. The Group is keeping a strong focus on the execution of its ambitious strategy, with a purpose of creating a 100% green and secure energy ecosystem, and further expands its Green Capacities Portfolio to deliver 4–5 GW of installed Green Capacities by 2030 and significantly contribute to the decarbonisation and energy security in our region.

We are further developing our Green Capacities Portfolio with a strong focus on green generation and green flexibility technologies: onshore and offshore wind, batteries, pumped-storage hydro and power-to-X. We plan to invest EUR 3.0–4.0 billion over 2024–2027 with >85–90% of the investments expected to be aligned with the EU Taxonomy. We are planning to direct EUR 1.8–2.4 billion (around 61% of the total Investments) towards further development of green generation and green flexibility technologies and the doubling of the installed Green Capacities to 2.4–2.6 GW by

We maintain our full-year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA guidance of EUR 440–470 million and Investments guidance of EUR 850–1,000 million.


First three months 2024 interim report / Overview

2027 compared to 1.3 GW in 2023. More than half of the investments into the Green Capacities segment over 2024–2027 are subject to new installed Green Capacities additions planned post 2027.

Next, we are planning to direct EUR 1.1–1.3 billion (around 33% of the total Investments) towards the expansion of a resilient and efficient electricity distribution network, which is one of the key components in having a successful energy transition.

We strive to further utilise and expand our customer portfolio to enable the Green Capacities build-out. We expect our electricity supply portfolio to increase to 9.0–11.0 TWh by 2027 from 6.7 TWh in 2023. We aim to significantly contribute to transport electrification by building a leading EV charging network in the Baltics.

We will maximise sustainable value by directing our Investments toward a decarbonisation pathway that is aligned with our business ambitions and reaching net zero emissions by 2040–2050. Our first sustainability-related priority is reducing the carbon intensity of scope 1 & 2 GHG emissions (by ~20-40% in 2027 vs. 2023) by growing installed green capacity and increasing the share of green electricity used for our operations. Our second priority is making an impact on our scope 3 emissions by actively promoting green electricity to our customers and encouraging their transition from gas to electricity.

Our focused Investments should translate into Adjusted EBITDA within the range of EUR 550–650 million (with a ×70–75% share of sustainable Adjusted EBITDA) by the end of 2027 and an average Adjusted ROCE at the level of 6.5–7.5% over the 2024–2027 period.

Finally, considering the shareholder return, we will continue to pay dividends with at least 3% annual growth, representing a dividend yield in the range of 7.3–8.0% over the 2024–2027 period.

Electricity Generated (net), Green Share of Generation
TWh, %

A 0.22 TWh, or 39.0%, increase in Electricity Generated (net) was driven by the generation of new assets (Green Capacities), including Mažekiai WF, Silesia WF I, and Vilnius CHP biomass unit. Additionally, the increase in Electricity Generated (net) was further supported by Elektrėnai Complex (Reserve Capacities), where all three units were operating simultaneously in commercial mode for the first time ever due to severely cold in weather in the Scandinavian countries and decreased electricity production capacities in the region. The Green Share of Generation decreased by 15.7 pp to 79.9%, due to proportionally higher electricity generation in CCGT (Reserve Capacities).

Climate action
GHG emissions, million t CO₂-eq

The Group's market-based GHG emissions increased by 12.5% compared to 3M 2023, mainly due to a 167.2% increase in out of scope (biogenic) emissions from the Vilnius CHP biomass unit operations. Higher electricity emissions factors led to a 5.5% increase in Scope 3 emissions. Despite the higher emissions factors, Scope 2 emissions dropped 60.4% due to the use of renewable energy guarantees of origin for a share of Kruonis PSHP electricity consumption and a share of electricity distribution network losses. Scope 1 emissions increased by 49.4% due to the higher electricity generation at CCGT (Reserve Capacities).

1.4 Outlook

Adjusted EBITDA guidance

As 3M 2024 results were in line with our expectations, we maintain Adjusted EBITDA guidance provided in our Annual report 2023. For 2024 we expect Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of EUR 440–470 million driven by our two largest segments Green Capacities and Networks.

The guidance does not include any gains from asset rotation.

For 2024 we assume the results of our largest segments Green Capacities and Networks to be higher compared to 2023. Adjusted EBITDA for Green Capacities segment is expected to increase, due to new projects reaching COD in 2024, mainly Silesia WF I and II in Poland. Partly offset by lower power prices. Adjusted EBITDA for the Networks segment is expected to increase as a result of approved higher WACC and higher RAB due to continued Investments into distribution network.

Investments guidance

Our Investments for 2024 are expected to amount in the range of EUR 850–1,000 million, mainly driven by:

  • Green Capacities (Kelme WF I and II; Latvian solar portfolio I and Kruonis PSHP expansion project);
  • Networks due to expansion and maintenance of electricity network.

The guidance does not include M&A activities.

The latest information on the key ongoing investment projects is presented below. More information on the investment program, including the investment strategy, is available in the Strategy section of our website.

Green Capacities

Overview

In 3M 2024, we increased our Green Capacities Portfolio by 0.3 GW to 7.4 GW (from 7.1 GW). This is a result of greenfield capacity additions, as we secured land for the development of hybrid projects, i.e., we will develop wind farms near our Latvian solar projects. We also increased our Installed Capacity to 1.4 GW (from 1.3 GW), as Silesia WF I (50 MW) in Poland has reached COD in March. Our Secured Capacity stood at 2.9 GW.

img-26.jpeg

The implementation of the Green Capacities Portfolio is progressing as planned with no significant changes since Q4 2023.

Key Green Capacities Portfolio development milestones

During the reporting period

  • We, together with our partner CIP, won the second seabed site (Liivi 1) in the Estonian offshore wind tender and see the site as a natural extension of the Liivi 2 sea area (secured in December 2023). This will allow to capture greater synergies and optimise the projects by developing the sites as a single offshore wind project. The actual capacity of the offshore wind farm is expected to be 1–1.5 GW¹.
  • Silesia WF I (50 MW) in Poland has reached COD.
  • We have launched an environmental impact assessment for the Lithuanian offshore WF.
  • We have started taking wind and meteorological measurements in the Baltic Sea for the Lithuanian offshore WF.

After the reporting period

  • We have secured grid capacity for the first early development BESS projects (<190 MW) in Lithuania.
  • We have submitted a bid in the tender for the second 700 MW Lithuanian offshore wind project. However, due to the limited number of participants, the tender did not convene but is expected to take place in due course, following a review of the tender conditions.

¹ The Group currently includes the minimum size (1 GW) of the actual capacity in the Portfolio.

Networks

Since the end of 2022, we have successfully continued working on grid maintenance and expansion, including the smart meter roll-out. Smart meter installation for private and business customers whose energy consumption exceeds 1,000 kWh a year began in July 2022 and smoothly continues today. In 3M 2024, around 107 thousand smart meters have been installed, reaching around 836 thousand installed smart meters in total (out of 1.1–1.2 million smart meters to be installed). The smart metering system was successfully deployed with full functionality at the end of 2023. Now that the system is up and running day-to-day operations, we will continue to improve it, develop and integrate new features in 2024. Implementation of the integration of the smart meter information system with the distribution management system has started, with a target to fully integrate it by mid-2025. We are also working on the development of the meter readings hub, with the aim of creating a cloud-based big data platform for collecting smart meter data and analytics. Our target of finalizing the mass roll-out process by the end of 2025 remains unchanged as, currently, the production and delivery of smart meters is progressing smoothly.

2.3 Business environment

The Group's performance continues to be affected by macroeconomic and industry dynamics, particularly in the specific markets in which it operates. In order to assess the business environment and identify potential opportunities and challenges, we closely monitor economic indicators and industry developments. Our commitment to providing a comprehensive overview extends to highlighting relevant changes in the regulatory framework, ensuring a nuanced understanding of the markets in which we operate.

Macroeconomic environment

GDP

In 3M 2024, GDP in the euro area and European Union (EU) experienced increase compared to the same period of 2023. Looking ahead, the GDP in the euro area is expected to grow by 0.8% in 2024 and 1.5% in 2025, and, on a similar note, the EU's GDP is expected to grow by 0.9% and 1.7% respectively. In 3M 2024 Lithuania's GDP increased by 2.9% YoY. However, it is expected to slow down by 2.1% in 2024 and increase by 3.0% in 2025. According to Eurostat's spring forecast, our home markets' GDP growth prospects for 2024 and 2025 surpass the EU and the euro area, with the exception of Finland and Estonia in 2024.

Industry environment

Overview of energy industry trends

  • In the wholesale electricity market, a significant price decrease was observed across all bidding areas of the Nord Pool power market in Q1 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. This decline was attributed to a balanced hydro situation in Scandinavia, coupled with falling natural gas prices and a surge in renewables generation. Favourable weather conditions and increased wind and photovoltaic capacity additions contributed to higher load factors, driving down the electricity prices.
  • The shift towards renewable energy sources has notably impacted the electricity generation patterns in the region. Lithuania witnessed a significant increase in electricity production in Q1 2024, driven by a surge in wind and solar energy generation. In contrast, Poland experienced a 4.6% decline in energy demand. The rise in renewable energy generation underscores the region's commitment to sustainable energy capacity growth.
  • In the wholesale natural gas market, healthy storage balances at the end of the previous winter, coupled with increased European LNG import capacities and lower long-term consumption levels, instilled confidence and relieved market pressure. Despite these improvements, market fluctuations are still anticipated considering its inherent sensitivity. Competitive advantage of natural gas over oil products has strengthened, with industrial demand seeing a year-on-year increase, while still remaining below the long-term average.
  • Maintenance of power lines further exacerbated the price differences between the Scandinavian and the Baltic regions. Additionally, comfortable natural gas storage levels, reduced demand and limited competition for LNG supplies globally have contributed to the downward pressure on the electricity prices in Q1 2024. Lower electricity prices were also influenced by the favourable hydrological conditions and the improved water values at hydro reservoirs in Scandinavia.

3.1 Results 3M

Revenue

In 3M 2024, total revenue decreased by EUR 274.8 million compared to 3M 2023 and amounted to EUR 653.5 million. The main reason for the decrease was lower revenue of the Customers & Solutions segment, which outweighed the increase of revenue in all the remaining segments. A more detailed information is provided in section '6 Consolidated financial statements', note '6 Revenue'.

In 3M 2024, the Customers & Solutions segment's revenue was 48.2%, or EUR 328.7 million, lower than in 3M 2023. The YoY decrease in revenue was recorded in both natural gas and electricity businesses. Revenue from natural gas business decreased the most (EUR -306.4 million), mainly due to a lower average TTF gas price index (-56.4%) and lower volume supplied (-26.4%).

The Networks segment's revenue was 19.9%, or EUR 33.0 million, higher than in 3M 2023. The increase was mainly driven by higher revenue from electricity transmission (EUR +46.5 million). The result was partly offset by lower revenue from electricity distribution (EUR -10.2 million) due to lower tariffs set by the regulator. The decrease in electricity distribution tariffs was mainly caused by lower expenses from electricity distribution technological losses, which have decreased due to lower electricity purchase prices.

The Green Capacities segment's revenue was 14.6%, or EUR 14.5 million, higher than in 3M 2023. Revenue has increased primarily as a result of the launch of new assets (Mažeikiai WF, Silesia WF I and Vilnius CHP biomass unit) and higher captured electricity prices, mainly due to the flexibility of the assets.

The Reserve Capacities segment's revenue was 207.6%, or EUR 30.1 million, higher than in 3M 2023. The increase was mainly due to favourable market conditions and the increase in demand for electricity, which resulted in all three Elektrėnai Complex units operating simultaneously in commercial mode for the first time. In 3M 2023 the positive result of favorable market conditions did not affect revenue, as it resulted from gain of realized cash flow hedge instrument which according to the Group accounting policy is accounted under "Purchase of electricity, natural gas and other services" account.

The Networks segment's Adjusted EBITDA was EUR 16.8 million higher than in 3M 2023, mainly due to the higher RAB effect and higher WACC. Also, the Adjusted EBITDA increase was partly related to the higher share of allowed return and D&A recognised in 3M 2024 vs 3M 2023 due to the temporary volume effect. This effect will level off over the course of the year as annual ROI and compensated depreciation and amortisation are fixed for the year but allocated between the months based on the distributed volumes.

The Reserve Capacities segment's Adjusted EBITDA was 30.1%, or EUR 8.6 million, lower than in 3M 2023. Strong performance during both years was driven by the utilised optionality to earn additional return in the market on top of the regulated return. However, the YoY decrease is related to the fact that, during the 3M 2023 period, the conditions to earn additional return in the market were extraordinary.

Operating profit (EBIT)

In 3M 2024, Adjusted EBIT amounted to EUR 140.3 million and was EUR 29.0 million, or 26.1%, higher than in 3M 2023. The main effect of the increase was higher Adjusted EBITDA (EUR +31.8 million) (the reasons behind the increase are described in the 'EBITDA' section above), which was partly offset by higher depreciation and amortisation expenses (EUR -3.4 million).

Net profit

Adjusted Net Profit amounted to EUR 112.6 million in 3M 2024 and was 26.9% higher than in 3M 2023. The increase is related to the positive EBIT impact (EUR +29.0 million), which was partly offset by higher income tax expenses (EUR -5.6 million).

Investments

In 3M 2024, Investments amounted to EUR 209.5 million and were EUR 88.7 million, or 73.4%, higher compared to 3M 2023. The increase was driven by new Green Capacities projects.

The largest share of Investments were made in the Green Capacities segment (66.3% of the total Investments). In total, Investments in the Green Capacities segment have tripled and reached EUR 138.9 million. The majority of Investments in Green Capacities were directed towards onshore wind farms in Lithuania, mainly in Kelme WFI and II.

Investments in the Networks segment in 3M 2024 amounted to EUR 63.7 million and were 11.0%, or EUR 7.9 million, lower compared to 3M 2023, mainly due to lower Investments in the expansion of the electricity distribution network (excluding smart meters), which decreased by EUR 8.1 million, or 18.3%, and amounted to EUR 36.1 million. The main reason behind the decrease was lower number of new connections and upgrades.

In 3M 2024, grants and Investments covered by customers amounted to EUR 16.3 million and accounted for 7.8% of the total Investments. A part of the Investments into the Networks segment that is related to new connections, upgrades and infrastructure equipment transfers was covered by customers (EUR 13.4 million). Also, the Group has received EUR 2.9 million in grants for the Investments in 3M 2024 which were related to the maintenance of electricity and natural gas distribution networks.

In 3M 2024, EUR 189.5 million were invested in Lithuania. This amount represents 90.5% of the total Investments.

Capital Employed

Capital Employed

As of 31 March 2024, the Group's Capital Employed amounted to EUR 3,609.2 million and increased by EUR 28.3 million compared to 31 December 2023, mainly due to significant investments made.

Equity

As of 31 March 2024, Equity increased by EUR 58.0 million, or 2.6%, compared to 31 December 2023, mostly due to the net profit earned in 3M 2024 (EUR +118.7 million). The increase was partly offset by the dividends declared (EUR -46.5 million). A more detailed description is provided in section '6 Consolidated financial statements', note '14 Equity'.

Net Working Capital

As of 31 March 2024, Net Working Capital amounted to EUR 144.4 million and decreased by EUR 30.8 million compared to 31 December 2023. The drivers behind the changes were the following:

  • a decrease in total inventory (EUR -45.3 million), mainly in Customers & Solutions (EUR -46.9 million), due to the decrease in value of stored natural gas, mainly due to lower volumes stored;
  • lower trade receivables (EUR -28.3 million), mainly in Customers & Solutions (EUR -37.1 million), due to lower energy prices and lower volumes sold.

The decrease was partly offset by:

  • lower payables for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (EUR +26.7 million) due to lower Investments in Q1 2024 compared to Q4 2023
  • lower VAT payables (EUR +10.2 million).

Cash flows

CFO

Net cash flows from operating activities (CFO) in 3M 2024 amounted to EUR 253.6 million. Compared to 3M 2023, CFO decreased by EUR 111.2 million, mainly due to the lower cash inflow from changes in the working capital (EUR 75.4 million in 3M 2024 compared to EUR 234.9 million in 3M 2023). The decrease was partly offset by lower reversal of inventory write down to net realisable value (EUR -8.9 million in 3M 2024 compared to the write down to net realisable value of EUR -85.2 million in 3M 2023).

CFI

Net cash flows from investing activities (CFI) amounted to EUR -98.7 million in 3M 2024. The CFI indicator was less negative (EUR +30.9 million), mainly due to withdrawal of deposits (EUR +109.0 million), which was partly offset by higher cash outflows related to the acquisition of PPE and intangible assets (EUR -89.9 million) compared to 3M 2023.

CFF

Net cash flows from financing activities (CFF) amounted to EUR -13.5 million in 3M 2024. CFF was negative mainly due to the interest paid (EUR -8.6 million). In comparison, CFF in 3M 2023 amounted to EUR -161.1 million and was negative due to repaid credit lines and overdrafts (EUR -328.6 million), which was partly offset by additional loans received in the amount of EUR 173.5 million.

A more detailed information is provided in section '6.5 Interim condensed consolidated statement of cash flows'.

FFO

In 3M 2024, the Group's FFO decreased by 8.5% (EUR -15.8 million) and amounted to EUR 169.5 million. The main reason for the decrease was lower EBITDA and more income tax and interest paid.

FCF

In 3M 2024, the Group's FCF amounted to EUR 5.0 million. The main reason for the positive FCF was that FFO and positive changes in the working capital outweighed the Investments, excluding grants and investments covered by customers.

Key operating indicators

In 3M 2024, the Green Capacities Portfolio increased by 0.3 GW to 7.4 GW (from 7.1 GW) as a result of greenfield capacity additions, where the land was secured for the development of hybrid projects, i.e., for the development of wind farms near Latvian solar projects. Installed Capacity increased to 1.4 GW (from 1.3 GW), as Silesia WF I (50 MW) in Poland reached COD in March 2024. Secured Capacity stood at 2.9 GW.

Electricity Generated (net) increased by 0.22 TWh, or 39.0%, YoY and in 3M 2024 amounted to 0.77 TWh. The increase in Electricity Generated (net) was driven by the generation of new assets (Green Capacities), including Mažeikiai WF, Silesia WF I and Vilnius CHP biomass unit. Additionally, the increase in Electricity Generated (net) was further supported by Elektrėnai Complex (Reserve Capacities), where all three units were operating simultaneously in commercial mode for the first time ever due to severely cold weather in the Scandinavian countries and decreased electricity generation capacities in the region.

The electricity sales decreased by 0.05 TWh, or 2.8%, compared to 3M 2023. The decline was noticed among B2B customers.

Total distributed electricity volume increased by 0.18 TWh, or 7.0%, YoY. The electricity consumption of both B2C and B2B customers has increased due to cold weather conditions and higher industrial consumption respectively.

Electricity SAIFI indicator, which reflects the average number of unplanned long interruptions per customer, improved compared to the previous year and was 0.21 interruptions (0.27 interruptions in 3M 2023). Electricity SAIDI indicator, which shows the average duration of unplanned interruptions, improved to 14 minutes (compared to 19 minutes in 3M 2023). Electricity quality indicators improved, due to a higher number of installed automatic solutions, management of staff levels based on weather forecast, and favourable weather conditions.

In 3M 2024, Heat Generated (net) amounted to 0.46 TWh and increased by 0.19 TWh, or 67.4%, YoY due to higher generation at Vilnius CHP.

The natural gas sales decreased by 1.02 TWh, or 26.4%, mainly because higher wholesale volumes were sold through the exchange (GetBaltic) in 3M 2023. The decrease was also noticed in retail sales, mainly in Finland, due to a faulty Balticonnector pipeline. The natural gas distribution volume in Lithuania has increased by 0.37 TWh, or 16.1%, due to colder than usual weather conditions in January 2024, which contributed to higher distributed volume in 3M 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.

Green Capacities

Q1 2024 highlights

  • In January 2024, the Group, together with its partner CIP, won the second seabed site (Liivi 1) in the Estonian offshore wind tender and sees the site as a natural extension of the Liivi 2 sea area (secured in December 2023), which will allow to capture greater synergies and optimise the projects by developing the sites as a single offshore wind project. The actual capacity of the offshore wind farm is expected to be 1–1.5 GW.
  • In February 2024, the Group has launched an environmental impact assessment and has started taking wind and meteorological measurements in the Baltic Sea for the Lithuanian offshore WF.
  • In March 2024, Silesia WF I (50 MW) in Poland has reached COD.
  • In March 2024, the Group has started taking wind and meteorological measurements in the Baltic Sea for the Lithuanian offshore WF.

After the reporting period:

  • In April 2024, the Group submitted a bid in the tender for the second 700 MW Lithuanian offshore wind project. However, due to the limited number of participants, the tender did not convene but is expected to take place in due course, following a review of the tender conditions.

Networks

Q1 2024 highlights

  • In January 2024, ESO has agreed with the regulator (NERC) to amend the repayment schedule of the EUR 160 million regulatory difference to 2024–2031 (from 2024–2036). In this regard, NERC updated the methodology for calculating the additional tariff component and linked it to the leverage level cap of 5.5x (ESO Net Debt/ ESO Adjusted EBITDA, both calculated based the methodology approved by NERC), which means that if ESO’s leverage level exceeds the predetermined cap, the additional tariff component will increase proportionally.

Financial results

3M results

In 3M 2024, the Networks segment’s revenue was 19.9%, or EUR 33.0 million, higher than in 3M 2023. The increase was mainly driven by higher revenue from electricity transmission (EUR +46.5 million). The result was partly offset by lower revenue from electricity distribution (EUR -10.2 million) due to lower tariffs set by the regulator. The decrease in tariffs was mainly caused by lower expenses from electricity distribution technological losses, which have decreased due to lower electricity purchase prices.

In 3M 2024, the Networks segment’s Adjusted EBITDA was EUR 16.8 million higher than in 3M 2023, mainly due to the higher RAB effect and higher WACC. Also, the Adjusted EBITDA increase was related to the higher share of allowed return and the D&A recognised in 3M 2024 vs 3M 2023 due to the temporary volume effect. This effect will level off over the course of the year as annual ROI and compensated depreciation and amortisation is fixed for the year but allocated between the months based on the distributed volumes.

Investments in the Networks segment in 3M 2024 amounted to EUR 63.7 million and were 11.0%, or EUR 7.9 million, lower compared to 3M 2023, mainly due to lower investments in the expansion of the electricity distribution network (excluding smart meters), which decreased by EUR 8.1 million, or 18.3% and amounted to EUR 36.1 million. The main reason behind the decrease was a lower number of new connections and upgrades.

Q1 results

Electricity distributed has increased by 0.18 TWh, or 7.0% in 3M 2024. The electricity consumption of both B2C and B2B customers has increased due to cold weather conditions and higher industrial consumption respectively.

In 3M 2024, the electricity distribution quality indicator SAIFI has decreased to 0.21 interruptions (compared to 0.27 in 3M 2023), and the 3M 2024 electricity SAIDI indicator has decreased to 14 minutes (compared to 19 minutes in 3M 2023). The quarterly quality indicators have improved due to a higher number of installed automatic solutions, management of staff levels based on weather forecast and favourable weather conditions.

In Lithuania, the distributed natural gas volume in 3M 2024 increased by 0.37 TWh, or 16.1%, amounting to 2.68 TWh. The growth was due to colder than usual weather conditions in January 2024, which contributed to higher distributed volume in 3M 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.

In 3M 2024, the Reserve Capacities segment's revenue was 207.6%, or EUR 30.1 million, higher than in 3M 2023. The increase was mainly due to favourable market conditions and the increase in demand for electricity, which resulted in all three Elektrénai Complex units operating simultaneously in commercial mode for the first time.

In 3M 2024, the Reserve Capacities segment's Adjusted EBITDA was 30.1%, or EUR 8.6 million, lower than in 3M 2023. Strong performance in both years was driven by the utilised optionality to earn additional return in the market on top of the regulated return. However, the YoY decrease is related to the fact that, during the 3M 2023 period, the conditions to earn additional return in the market were extraordinary.

In 3M 2024 Electricity Generated (net) at CCGT as well as units 7 and 8 at Elektrénai Complex amounted to 0.15 TWh and increased by 0.13 TWh, or 540.4%, compared to 3M 2023. In January 2024, all three units in Elektrénai Complex were operating simultaneously in commercial mode for the first time ever. The reasons for this were severely cold weather in the Scandinavian countries and the decrease in electricity production capacities in the region. Accordingly, in 3M 2024 it resulted in a load factor of 6.7%, which was 5.6 pp higher compared to the year prior.

The total Installed Capacity of Elektrénai Complex is 1,055 MW, and, during the reporting period, 891 MW were used for isolated regime services with 260 MW provided by unit 7, 260 MW by unit 8 and 371 MW by CCGT.

In 3M 2024, the Customers & Solutions segment's revenue was 48.2%, or EUR 328.7 million, lower than in 3M 2023. The YoY decrease in revenue was recorded in both natural gas and electricity businesses. Revenue from natural gas business decreased the most (EUR -306.4 million), mainly due to a lower average TTF gas price index (-56.4%) and lower volume supplied (-26.4%).

In 3M 2024, the Customers & Solutions segment's Adjusted EBITDA was EUR 16.5 million higher than in 3M 2023. The increase was driven by lower loss in electricity B2C business, and better results in Latvia and Poland. In 3M 2024, electricity B2C activities loss amounted to EUR -8.2 million (EUR -16.4 million in 3M 2023).

In 3M 2024, electricity sales decreased by 0.06 TWh, or 3.0%, compared to 3M 2023. The decrease was mainly driven by lower B2B sales in Lithuania and Latvia. The natural gas sales have decreased by 1.02 TWh, or 26.4% in 3M 2024, because higher wholesale volumes were sold through the exchange (GetBaltic) in 3M 2023. The decrease was also noticed in retail sales, mainly in Finland, due to a faulty Balticconnector pipeline.

4.2 Risk management update

Risk management framework

Overview

In connection with the business activities, the Group is exposed to both internal and external risks that might affect our performance. To ensure their mitigation to an acceptable level, we apply uniform risk management principles, which are based on the best market practices, including the guidance of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and AS/NZS ISO 31000:2018. A clear segregation of risk management and control duties is controlled by applying the 'Three-lines enterprise risk management framework' in the Group, where the duties are distributed between management and supervisory bodies, structural units, and functions.

In order to ensure that risk management information and decisions are relevant and reflect all the changes relevant to the Group, the Group applies a uniform risk management process, which includes all the Group companies and functions. To ensure effective risk management control, we monitor risks, risk management measures, key risk indicators and prepare internal reports for the management (both at the Group or the Group company level and at the function level) on a quarterly basis.

More detailed information on our risk management framework is available in our Integrated Annual Report 2023.

Key risks of the Group

There were several changes identified in Q1 2024 among the Group's key risks compared to the previous quarter. The Group updated its risk assessment methodology at the beginning of 2024 (for more accurate risk evaluation and better compliance with ISO31000:2018 principles) and this methodological update caused the risk of not ensuring the security of Lithuanian electricity system level change from 'High' to 'Medium'. The level of the risk of failure to complete the Vilnius CHP biomass unit properly and on time decreased from 'High' to 'Low' as the project reached the final stages of implementation: testing programme was fully completed, the maximum power output has been reached, Taking Over Certificate (TOC) has been obtained.

The descriptions and mitigation plans of the above-mentioned and other key risks of the Group are disclosed in the Group's Integrated Annual Report 2023.

First three months 2024 interim report / Consolidated financial statements

Business segments (equal to 'Operating segments' in accordance with IFRS 8) are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing the performance of the business segments, has been identified as the Management Board.

The Group is divided into four business segments based on their core activities. For more information about the segments, see sections '2.1 Business profile and strategy' and '3.3 Results by business segment' of the Integrated Annual Report 2023. The list of entities assigned to each segment is provided on our website.

The chief operating decision-maker monitors the results with reference to the financial reports that have been prepared using the same accounting policies as those used for the preparation of the financial statements. The primary alternative performance measure is Adjusted EBITDA. Additionally, the management also analyses Investments of each individual segment. All measures are calculated using the data presented in the financial statements, and selected items which are not defined by IFRS are adjusted by the management.

The Group's management calculates the main performance measures as described by the definitions of alternative performance measures, which can be found in section '7.3 Alternative Performance Measures' of the Integrated Annual Report 2023.

5.1 EBITDA

The management's adjustments include:
- temporary regulatory differences;
- asset rotation result (if any);
- significant one-off gains or losses (if any).

In the management's view, Adjusted EBITDA more accurately presents the results of the operations and enables a better comparison of the results between the periods as they indicate the amount that was actually earned by the Group in the reporting year by eliminating the differences between the permitted return set by NERC and the actual return for the period (temporary regulatory differences).

The management's adjustments used in calculating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT:

During 3M 2024, the Group earned 86.7% (78.6% in 3M 2023) of its revenue in Lithuania. The Group's revenue from other countries decreased to 13.3%, mostly in Finland and Latvia, mainly due to lower electricity and natural gas volumes sold and lower market prices.

As at 31 March 2024, the carrying value of the Smart Energy Fund amounted to EUR 22.4 million, the carrying value of the World Fund amounted to EUR 10.2 million.

The fair value of the funds was determined by reference to the exits of investments, new investment rounds or other recent events and data (Note 21).

21 Fair values of financial instruments

21.1 Financial instruments for which fair value is disclosed

The fair value of the Group's granted loans was calculated by discounting the future cash flows with reference to the interest rate observable in the market. The cash flows were discounted using a discount rate of 6.45% for loans above EUR 1 million and 6.31% for loans smaller than EUR 1 million. The measurement of the fair value of the financial assets related to these loans is attributed to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of the Group's issued bonds was calculated by discounting future cash flows related to the coupon payments with reference to the interest rate observable in the market and the regular future payments related to issued bonds. The cash flows were discounted using a weighted average discount rate of 4.14% as at 31 March 2024 (31 December 2023 – 3.95%). The discount rate for each bond issue was determined as the yield of certain bonds issued. The measurement of the fair value of issued bonds is attributed to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of the Group's loans received from commercial banks and state-owned banks was calculated by discounting the future cash flows with reference to the interest rate observable in the market. The cash flows were discounted using a discount rate of 6.45% for loans above EUR 1 million and 6.31% for loans smaller than EUR 1 million (as at 31 December 2023: 6.42% and 5.58% accordingly). The measurement of the fair value of the financial liabilities related to these debts is attributed to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
