1 Analysis is provided in Alternative Performance Measures in the Appendix ΙΙ.
PPC recorded a strong performance in the third quarter, following the solid results of the second quarter, due to the improvement of the overall integrated business as well as the higher revenues from the distribution activity in Greece – after the implementation, as of 1.6.2025, of the new network usage charges. As a result, adjusted EBITDA amounted to €1.7 bn in 9M 2025, recording an increase of 24% compared to the corresponding period last year.
During the 9M 2025 period, the Group's investments amounted to €1.9 bn, of which approximately 88% was allocated to Renewable Energy Sources (RES) projects, flexible generation and the upgrading of distribution networks. These investments support the Group's strategy to develop a cleaner and more flexible energy generation portfolio, while continuously modernizing and digitalizing its infrastructure in the energy transition.
The installed capacity of RES stood at 6.4 GW as of 30.09.2025, following the completion of the construction of additional 70 MW in the solar park of Ptolemaida. The project, which is the largest single solar park in Greece with a total capacity of 550 MW, is in the final stage of implementation, with the remaining 30 MW expected to be completed by the end of the year. The total capacity of projects under construction, ready to build or in the tender process (bid submission) amounts to 3.9 GW.
Furthermore, the Group has commenced the construction of an additional energy storage station (BESS) in Amyntaio. This new station will consist of batteries with a total installed capacity of 50 MW and a storage capacity of 200MWh while it will be capable of supplying the electricity system with a power of 50MW for 4 hours. In this way, this station contributes to optimizing the management of energy produced from RES, maximizing their potential, and supporting the stability of the electricity system.
Lignite generation in 9M 2025 decreased by 18% compared to 9M 2024 and stood at 1.9 TWh. RES output increased by 5% compared to the corresponding period of 2024, despite a 0.4TWh (-15%) decrease in the generation of large hydro power plants due to lower inflows into reservoirs. The higher RES output was driven by wind and solar generation, which increased by 48% and 20% respectively compared to the 9M 2024, following the addition of new capacity. As a result, RES output amounted to 5.1 TWh corresponding to 33% of PPC's total electricity generation. At the same time, generation from natural gas units remained approximately at the same level compared to the 9M 2024, at 5.4TWh, corresponding to 35% of total output.
The Group's transition to cleaner forms of energy combined with its overall improvement in ESG (Environment, Society and Governance) performance is also reflected in the evaluations it receives from international organizations and rating agencies. Following recent upgrades by CDP, S&P Global, ISS, and Sustainalytics, another international organization – MSCI – has upgraded PPC's rating by one notch, to "A" from "BBB". According to MSCI's assessment report, PPC's upgrade reflects improved performance in three key areas: water and toxic waste management, Renewable energy portfolio expansion and Corporate Governance.
Adjusted EBITDA increased by 24% to €1.7 bn from €1.3 bn and Adjusted Net Income after minorities stood at €0.4 bn from €0.2 bn2 .
PPC maintains a strong financial position, despite the increased investment program. The Leverage ratio (Net Debt/EBITDA) stood at 3.1x, reflecting the higher level of investments, while remaining below the 3.5x threshold set by the financial policy of PPC Group. Net debt amounted to €6.7 bn on 30.09.2025, in line with the provisions of the Business Plan, compared to €5.1 bn at the end of 2024.
In October 2025, PPC proceeded with the issuance of Green Senior Notes due in 2030 with an aggregate principal amount of €775 m at a coupon price of 4.25%. The proceeds were used to repay existing sustainability-linked Notes, while an amount equivalent to the net proceeds will be allocated for the financing or refinancing, in whole or in part, of eligible green projects.
The strong nine-month performance confirms the Group's growth momentum and supports the achievement of the full-year 2025 targets, specifically:
2 Analysis is provided in Alternative Performance Measures in Appendix ΙΙ.
"Our strong results clearly reaffirm the Group's solid growth trajectory and the effectiveness of the strategy we are implementing.
We remain fully focused on the execution of our transformation plan, investing actively in clean and flexible electricity generation, as well as in the digitalization and reinforcement of our distribution networks. These initiatives enable us to address the challenges of the energy transition while creating even higher value for our shareholders, customers, and the communities in which we operate.
Our installed capacity in Renewable Energy Sources now stands at 6.4 GW, with an additional 3.9 GW of projects under construction or ready to build. In the distribution networks, our Regulated Asset Base in Greece and Romania has reached €5.6 billion, providing strong growth prospects for the years ahead.
The performance achieved since the beginning of the year further strengthens our confidence in meeting the targets we have set for 2025, with EBITDA of €2 billion and net income exceeding €0.4 billion."
Electricity demand decreased slightly in the 9M2025 compared to the corresponding period of 2024, both in Greece (-0.8%) and Romania (-0.4%3 ).
The average retail market share of PPC in Greece stood at 51%, compared to 50% in 9M 2024.
In the Interconnected System, the average market share stood at 49% in September 2025 (from 51% in September 2024). The average market share per voltage type was 13% in High Voltage (from 18%), 34% in Medium Voltage (from 35%) and 63% in Low Voltage4 (from 65%).
In Romania, the average market share of PPC in electricity sales remained stable at 16%5 .
In electricity generation, the average market share of PPC in Greece stood at 31% in 9M 2025 from 35% in 9M 2024, mainly due to lower generation from large hydro, lignite, and oil-fired units.
In Romania, the average market share of PPC from RES generation (wind/solar) increased to 22% in 9M 2025, from 13%6 in 9M 2024, reflecting the increase in wind generation following the addition of new RES capacity.
The Scope 1 CO2 emission intensity recorded a slight decrease compared to last year (0.47 tons per generated MWh from 0.48 tons per generated MWh in 9M 2024), due to the lower share of lignite and oil units in the energy mix, which was largely offset by the reduced generation of large hydro power plants.
During 9M2025 the Group continued to make significant investments in the distribution business, in line with the strategy for the modernization and digitalization of distribution networks, with the Regulated Asset Base in Greece and Romania currently standing at €5.6bn. Specifically, investments amounted to €0.8bn, increased by 13% compared to 9M 2024.

PPC continues to dynamically expand its advanced Fiber to the Home (FTTH) network in Greece, having reached more than 1.4 m households and businesses by the end of September 2025, compared to 477,000 in September 2024 (+200%) and 650,000 at the end of 2024 (+120%). This significant progress in 9M 2025 confirms the steady path towards achieving the target of reaching 1.5 m households and businesses by the end of 2025.
In addition, since June 2025 PPC Group has entered the retail telecommunications market, introducing the internet-only service, which is provided through the aforementioned network, and is available to 600,000 households and businesses, while expanding to new areas of the country. This service offers guaranteed high speeds and competitive prices, with the latter being even lower since November 2025 with the use of the Gigabit Voucher program that subsidizes ultra-highspeed connections for households and businesses.
In the e-mobility field, PPC maintains a leading position in the Greek market, while continuing the development of the largest network of public Charging Points (CPs) in the country. At the same time, it is expanding its operations in Romania, further strengthening its international presence. The total number of CPs in both countries amounted to 3,752 at the end of 9M 2025, recording an increase of 28% compared to the same period of the previous year.

The Group uses Alternative Performance Measures («APMs") in taking decisions relating to its financial operational and strategic planning as well as for the evaluation and publication of its performance. These APMs serve to better understand the Group's financial and operating results its financial position and cash flows. Alternative indicators (APMs) should always be read in conjunction with the financial results that have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and in no way replace them.
In discussing the Group's performance "adjusted" measures are used such as: Adjusted EBITDA without special items, Operating expenditure before depreciation and impairment without special items, Adjusted net income/(loss) without special items as well as Adjusted net income/(loss) after minorities without special items. These adjusted measures are calculated by deducting from performance measures directly derived from amounts of the annual or interim financial statements, the effect and costs arising from events which have occurred during the reporting period and which have not affected the amounts of previous periods.
EBITDA serves to better analyze the Group's operating results and is calculated as follows: Total turnover minus total operating expenses before depreciation amortization and impairment. Calculation of EBITDA is presented in Table A.
This measure is calculated by subtracting the special items mentioned in the Adjusted EBITDA note below from the figure calculated for operating expenses before depreciation and impairment in the EBITDA measure. It is presented in Table B.
Adjusted EBITDA serves to better analyze the Group's operating results excluding the impact of special items. For the nine-month period ended 30.09.2024 the special item that affected Adjusted EBITDA was loss from valuation of power purchase agreements of €122 million (negative impact) for the Group. For the nine-month period ended 30.09.2025, the special items that affected the Adjusted EBITDA are the following: a) a provision for employee severance incentive due to service termination amounting to € 28 million for the Group (negative impact) and b) the valuation of power purchase agreements amounting to € 58 million for the Group (positive impact). Adjusted EBITDA is presented in Table C.
This Index serves to better analyze the results of the Group, excluding the effect of special items and the calculated tax on them. Furthermore, the Impairment loss on assets and the calculated tax on them have been excluded for the nine-month period ended
30.09.2024 and 30.09.2025. In addition, for the nine-month period ended 30.09.2025, the Depreciation from revaluation of fixed assets, Foreign exchange (gains)/ losses on loans and borrowings, Gain from remeasurement of investment in associates, Bargain gain from subsidiaries acquisition and the tax on all of them have been excluded. The calculations are presented in Table D.
Adjusted net income/(loss) after minorities serves to better analyze the results of the Group, excluding the effect of minorities, and minorities on special items. The special items that affected Adjusted net income/(loss) after minorities for the Group for the nine-month period ended 30.09.2025 were a) gain from valuation of power purchase agreements and b) provision for employee severance incentive due to service termination, while for the nine-month period ended 30.09.2024 this index was affected only by loss from valuation of power purchase agreements. The calculations are presented in Table E.
Net debt is an APM that Management uses to evaluate the Group's capital structure as well as leverage. Net debt is calculated by adding long-term loans the current portion of long-term loans and short-term loans and subtracting the total cash and cash equivalents restricted cash related to loan agreements and financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and adding the unamortized portion of loans issuance fees and loan amendments IFRS 9. Calculation of Net debt is presented in Table F.
