Highlights of 2025

PPC had a strong performance for yet another year in line with its Business Plan targets, with adjusted EBITDA increasing to €2 bn and Adjusted Net Income after minorities at €0.45 bn, demonstrating the extent of the transformation and the growth achieved in recent years.

Group's investments stood at €2.8 bn, of which 87% was allocated to Renewable Energy Sources (RES) projects, flexible generation and the upgrading of distribution networks, which represent our key areas of focus in capturing the opportunities and managing the challenges of the energy transition.

The installed capacity of RES stood at 7.2 GW at the end of 2025 from 5.5 GW in 2024, representing 58% of the Group's total installed capacity. Significant progress was achieved in the RES roll-out in the last quarter of 2025, with the completion of 0.55 GW projects in Greece and 0.27 GW projects in Romania, Bulgaria and Italy. The expansion of the RES portfolio continues, with installed capacity expected to further increase in the coming quarters, since a pipeline of 3.7 GW projects is already in the under construction or ready to build or in tender stage (bid submission). Furthermore, in the last quarter of 2025, the Group completed the construction of the first energy storage stations (BESS); 50 MW in Greece and 9MW in Romania. These are strategically significant projects, providing flexibility and contributing to RES balancing, while ensuring the optimal utilization of generated energy.

In terms of power generation, RES output recorded a 12% increase compared to 2024, driven by wind and solar generation, which increased by 39% and 13% respectively compared to 2024, following the addition of new capacity. The generation of large hydro power plants remained at relatively low levels, approximately at the same level compared to 2024, landing at 3.4 TWh, despite an improvement during the last quarter of 2025 as rainfalls increased. As a result, RES output amounted to 6.9 TWh corresponding to 33% of PPC's total output. Lignite generation decreased by 16% compared to 2024 and stood at 2.7 TWh, corresponding to 13% of total output. 2026 marks the end of lignite generation, concluding a critical step in the decarbonization strategy and supporting PPC's transition to a more sustainable, flexible and efficient energy portfolio. Meanwhile, generation from natural gas units remained unchanged at 7.7 TWh, corresponding to 37% of total output. As a result, CO₂ (Scope 1) emission intensity declined by 5% compared to 2024.

The Group's strategic transition toward a sustainable energy model and its overall improvement in ESG performance are reflected in the new upgrades received from major international organizations and rating agencies throughout 2025:

  • MSCI: Rating upgraded to "A" from "BBB," acknowledging progress in water and waste management, renewable energy expansion, and corporate governance.
  • S&P Global: Significant upgrade in S&P Global CSA Score rising to 50 (from 42) and S&P Global ESG Score rising to 51 (from 44).

  • EcoVadis: Score increased by 8 points, reaching 65/100, placing the Group in the top 28% of companies globally assessed in 2025 and 3 points above the industry average.
  • ATHEX ESG: Upgrade to 97% in the "ESG Transparency Score", ranking the Group to 2nd place within the sector and 6th place in the overall ATHEX ESG index ranking
  • ISS: PPC's overall performance score increased to 47.04 from 41.29 in 2024, leading to an upgrade of its rating to "C+" (from "C").

Financial Performance

Adjusted EBITDA increased to €2 bn from €1.8 bn, while Adjusted Net Income after minorities stood at €0.45 bn from €0.36bn².

Strong financial position, despite increased investments. The Leverage ratio (Net Debt/EBITDA) stood at 3.2x, reflecting the higher level of investments, remaining however below the 3.5x threshold set by the financial policy of PPC Group. Net debt amounted to €6.5 bn on 31.12.2025.

Dividend proposal at €0.60/share, increased by 50% compared to 2024. The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting a dividend of €0.60/share (which takes into account the exclusion of own shares acquired by the Company and that are not entitled to a dividend).

Outlook for 2026

PPC affirms its 2026 goals, which were announced at the Capital Markets Day in November 2025, for adjusted EBITDA of €2.4 bn, adjusted net income post minorities of €0.7 bn and dividend of €0.80 per share.

Commenting on the results, Mr. Georgios Stassis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Public Power Corporation S.A. said:

"The Group's results reaffirm the consistent progress achieved in the execution of our strategic plan, as well as the continued strengthening of our operational and financial performance.

We continue the transformation of the Group, with a clear focus on the development of clean energy, the enhancement of flexibility of our energy portfolio and the modernization of distribution networks through targeted investments. These initiatives reinforce the Group's long-term competitiveness and support sustainable value creation for shareholders, customers and the markets in which we operate.

The installed capacity from Renewable Energy Sources has reached 7.2 GW, while projects with a total capacity of 3.7 GW are currently under construction or at an advanced stage of development, supporting the ongoing expansion of our portfolio in the years ahead. At the same time, the Regulated Asset Base of our network activities in Greece and Romania has increased to €5.7 bn, enhancing the visibility of future cash flows.

For 2026, we remain committed to achieving our targets of EBITDA of €2.4 bn and net income of €0.7 bn."

Further analysis per business activity

Retail

Electricity demand slightly decreased in 2025 compared to 2024, both in Greece (-1.3%) and Romania (-0.6%³), mainly affected by lower temperatures compared to the previous year.

The average retail market share of PPC in Greece recorded a slight decrease at 50% (from 51% at 2024).

In the Interconnected System, the average market share stood at 50% in December 2025 (from 52% in December 2024). The average market share per voltage type was 15% in High Voltage (from 21%), 32% in Medium Voltage (from 41%) and 62% in Low Voltage⁴ (from 62%).

In Romania, the average market share of PPC in electricity sales decreased to 15%⁵ from 16% in 2024.

Generation

In electricity generation, the average market share of PPC in Greece stood at 32% in 2025 from 34% in 2024, mainly due to lower generation from lignite and oil-fired units.

In Romania, the average market share of PPC from RES generation (wind/solar) increased to 24% in 2025, from 16%⁶ in 2024, as a result of the addition of new wind capacity to the renewable energy portfolio at the end of 2024, which was operational for the full year 2025.

The Scope 1 CO₂ emission intensity recorded a decrease compared to last year (0.47 tons per generated MWh from 0.49 tons per generated MWh in 2024), due to the reduced share primarily of lignite units and to a smaller degree of oil units in the Group's energy mix.

Distribution

For one more year 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 €5.7bn. Specifically, investments amounted to €1.1bn, increased by 2% compared to 2024.

The significant increase of the investments in recent years, is reflected to the improvement of the reliability indices in both countries, with SAIDI decreasing to

APENDIX II

Definitions and reconciliations of Alternative Performance Measures ("APMs")

ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES ("APMs")

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 their 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.

Alternative Performance Measures ("APMs")

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 (Operating income before depreciation and impairment net financial expenses and taxes)

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.

Operating expenditure before depreciation and impairment without special items

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 (Operating income before depreciation and impairment net financial expenses and taxes)

Adjusted EBITDA serves to better analyze the Group's operating results excluding the impact of special items. For the year 2024, the special items that affected the Adjusted EBITDA are the following: a) a provision for employee severance incentive due to service termination amounting to € 9m (negative impact) b) the valuation of power purchase agreements amounting to € 86m (negative impact). For the year 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 € 113m (negative impact) b) the valuation of power purchase agreements amounting to €98m (positive impact). Adjusted EBITDA is presented in Table C.

Adjusted net income/(loss)

This Index serves to better analyze the results of the Group, excluding the effect of special items and the calculated tax on them. Furthermore, Impairment loss on assets and the Depreciation from revaluation of fixed assets and the calculated tax on them have been excluded for the years ended 31.12.2024 and 31.12.2025. In addition, for the year ended


31.12.2025, the foreign exchange losses on loans and borrowings, gain from remeasurement of investment in associates, the bargain gain from subsidiaries acquisition, the loss from sale of subsidiary and the tax on all of them have been excluded. The calculations are presented in Table D.

Adjusted net income/(loss) after minorities

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 year ended December 31, 2025 were a) gain from valuation of power purchase agreements and b) provision for employee severance incentive due to service termination, while for the year ended December 31, 2024 this index was affected only by loss from valuation of power purchase agreements. The calculations are presented in Table E.

Net debt

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.
