EBITDA outlook for 2023
EBITDA excluding new partnership agreements is expected to be DKK 20-23 billion in 2023. Our EBITDA guidance assumes significantly higher earnings in Offshore, the same level in Onshore, and significantly lower earnings in Bioenergy & Other compared to 2022.
Mads Nipper, Group President and CEO of Ørsted, says:
"In a year with unusual market conditions, not least the very volatile energy prices and a substantial increase in inflation, we're happy to achieve a record-high EBITDA for 2022 within our latest guidance and above our initial expectations for the year. The composition and development of our earnings mix was significantly different than expected and once again showed the benefits from having a diverse portfolio.
We expect that earnings from our operational renewable energy assets will increase significantly in 2023 and contribute to reaching a Group EBITDA excluding new partnerships of DKK 20-23 billion, and we remain confident in our long-term financial estimates and growth ambitions."
Daniel Lerup, CFO of Ørsted, says:
"During the year, we have seen adverse impacts from overhedging, ineffective hedges, and delays at Hornsea 2 and Greater Changhua 1 & 2a, which is not satisfactory. As a response to the unintended impacts from hedges, we have established and are in the process of implementing a new risk management framework to reduce the volatility from financial instruments and bring back the inherent predictability of earnings that our contracted and regulated activities possess."
