Operating activities
In line with the enabling factors of the 2024-2028 Industrial Plan update, the Terna Group's business model is structured into two main distinct areas of activity: Regulated Activities that correspond to the core business (electricity Transmission and Dispatching) and coincide with the obligations deriving from the government concession and the Non-Regulated Activities, i.e., the complementary strand that operates in the free market and integrates diversified skills along the entire energy value chain for the design, engineering, operation and maintenance of solutions for the energy market. These activities are complemented by International activities.
Regulated Activities
Electricity Transmission and Dispatching
Within the electricity system value chain (generation, transmission, distribution and sale of electricity) Terna occupies the central segment through its transmission and dispatching activities.
As a Transmission System Operator (TSO), Terna not only has to design a grid capable of dealing with the progressive decarbonisation and the ever-growing integration of renewable sources (Transmission Operator), but also ensure that, moment by moment, consumer demand for energy is constantly balanced with production, through dispatching (System Operator). Terna has the key and delicate role of guaranteeing this balance through a high-technology system, using a specific market, in which it makes daily purchases of the services necessary to constantly ensure the continuity and security of electricity supply.
In addition to strengthening the domestic grid, Terna is required to develop interconnection capacity with other countries' electricity systems. Indeed, Italy is electrically connected with France, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia, Montenegro, Greece, and Malta via 30 interconnecting lines.
Terna operates Italy's high and very-high-voltage National Transmission Grid (NTG), one of the most modern and technologically advanced in Europe. It is the continent's largest independent transmission system operator and one of the leading operators in the world with more than 75 thousand kilometres of circuits.
This operational process is divided into three areas;
- the planning of development measures for the national electricity grid;
- the construction of works;
- the maintenance of electricity infrastructure.
The sustainability approach developed by Terna takes the form of transparent management of the Group's social and relational capital, involving all stakeholders affected by development measures, with a view to fostering ever greater awareness of the importance of the construction and management of electricity infrastructure.

Continuity and quality of service
Terna monitors service quality in terms of service continuity (the absence of interruptions in the electricity supply, and voltage quality, that is, maintaining the technical parameters of voltage and supply frequency within defined limits). This monitoring is carried out by measuring the various indices, such as RENS, ASAI and the number of voltage dips, defined in ARERA Resolution no. 55/2024/R/eel and chapter 11 of the Grid Code. The analysis of these indices is one of the most effective tools for guiding development measures, with the aim of preventing and reducing over time the consequences of disruptions on the grid.
Within the framework of service continuity and Annex A to Resolution no. 55/2024/R/eel, the Authority has defined an incentive mechanism based on compliance with a preset annual target level of Reference Energy Not Supplied (NTG RENS). The annual outturn of the NTG RENS indicator, and the resulting bonus or penalty for Terna, is certified by ARERA following verification of the data reported by Terna, through a specific Resolution.
These continuity indicators are significant for the system, as they monitor the frequency and impact of events that have occurred on the electricity grid as a result of faults or due to external factors, such as weather events. In all cases, the period of observation is three years, a period in which there have been no significant changes, testifying to the high quality of service achieved.
NTG RENS Index²

* Provisional data.
The NTG RENS indicator, based on the preliminary data for the period from January to March 2026, amounts to 38 MWh (provisional data and annual target for 2026 of approximately 686 MWh set by ARERA).
Continuity indicators
RENS*
What it measures
Energy not supplied following events affecting the relevant grid**.
How it is calculated
The sum of the energy not supplied to users connected to the NTG (following events affecting the relevant grid, as defined in the ARERA regulations governing quality of service).
- Regulated Energy Not Supplied.
** The "relevant grid" refers to all of the high-voltage and very high-voltage network.
ASA***
What it measures
Availability of the service provided by the NTG.
How it is calculated
Based on the ratio of the sum of energy not supplied to users connected to the NTG (ENS) and energy fed into the grid.
*** Average Service Availability.
As regards the ASA indicator, availability was 99.99982% (provisional data) in the first quarter of 2026, compared with 99.99978% (provisional data) in the previous period. The operating performance shows that ASA has remained stable at a high level over the years (the higher the indicator, the better the performance). This indicator shows that the energy not supplied following a fault on the owned grid represents a minimal part of the total quantity of energy supplied to users of the grid.
Existing regulations (set out, in particular, in Annex A to Resolution no. 55/2024/R/eel) envisage a series of mechanisms designed to regulate and encourage improvements in the quality of service provided by Terna. The overall economic effects of these mechanisms are accounted for at year end (including RENS).
With regard to costs, which are determined periodically on the basis of occurring events, Terna registered a balance of €2.5 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to €0.2 million in the first quarter of 2025.
² The targets of reference for the years 2024-2026 (set forth in Annex A to ARERA Resolution no. 55/2024/R/eel) were defined in continuity with the targets of the 2016-2023 regulatory period, i.e. with an improvement of 3.5% required for each year over the previous one. Since 2016, NTG RENS also includes the performance of the grid operated by Terna Rete Italia S.r.l. (merged with Terna S.p.A. on 31 March 2017).

Electricity market and cost trends
Dispatching Services Market (MSD)
Terna procures the resources to manage and control the system (freeing up intra-zonal congestion, creation of power reserves, real-time balancing) in order to ensure the security and adequacy on the Dispatching Services Market (MSD).
The net charge for the MSD selections was approximately €37 million in the first quarter of 2026 (provisional data), down 75% compared to the first quarter of 2025 (approximately €152 million). This change was due to the reduction in selection costs, as a result of both the volume and price effect.

Cost of procuring resources on the Dispatching Services Market (Uplift)
As of 1 January 2025, Resolution no. 345/2023/R/eel – Integrated Electricity Dispatching Act (TIDE), as amended, entered into force, introducing the split of the Uplift Fee, previously defined by Resolution no. 111/2006/R/eel, into two new fees, Uplift and Other.
The TIDE, as amended, streamlines all fees under Dispatching regulations. In this context, the Authority established that the Uplift Fee would retain only those components strictly related to Dispatching activities, while a new fee (the “Fee to cover additional items relating to the dispatching service” – Other Fee) would incorporate the remaining components. The macro-items included in the Other Fee are:
- rents, fees and penalties concerning transmission capacity allocation;
- incentive mechanisms;
- remuneration for the metering aggregation service;
- settlement adjustments and uncollected receivables.
In the first quarter of 2026, the total cost of the Uplift Fee³ amounted to approximately €127 million (provisional data), slightly down by 17% compared to the same period in 2025 (approximately €153 million).

The commercial trend in the first quarter of 2026 remained stable and in line with expectations.
In the first three months of 2026, sales orders increased compared to the first quarter of 2025 in both the High Voltage System segment (up 16%) and the Low Medium Voltage segment (up 44%). On the other hand, the High Voltage Accessories segment maintained a substantially stable order volume compared with the same period last year.
For high and extra high voltage systems, the first quarter of 2026 saw a positive performance in order acquisition, with increases in both sales volumes and margins compared with the first quarter of 2025, and particularly favourable developments in the European market.
Financial performance
Total revenue in the first quarter of 2026 rose by approximately 16% compared with the same period of 2025. Margins increased by 7% compared with the first quarter of 2025.
The results were driven by a more favourable sales mix, full leverage of the industrial and commercial drivers developed in previous years and ongoing monitoring of operating and market dynamics.
Operating activity
The High Voltage Accessories segment performed particularly well, with increased volumes and an improvement compared to the first quarter of 2025.
Production of high-voltage cables has increased by approximately 24% compared with the same period in the previous year. This is due to a more favourable production mix in terms of plant utilisation and operational continuity, improving overall efficiency and increased output volumes.
At the same time, production of low- and medium-voltage cables increased by 25% compared with the first quarter of 2025, in line with orders received. In this segment, the focus remains on the high quality demanded by the market and the consolidation of the strong position in the Swiss local market.

Connectivity
New commercial contracts were signed in the first quarter of 2026, marking a 50% increase compared to the same period in the previous year.
Revenue in the first quarter of 2026 is up by approximately 22% compared with the same period in 2025, mainly due to deliveries made to a leading Italian Electricity Supplier - DSO.
To date, around 50,000 km of fibre pairs have been granted IRU (Indefeasible Right of Use), for which the Terna Group provides both maintenance and housing services for optical signal regeneration.
Talks continue on an agreement with one or more leading Italian DSOs for the granting of IRU rights on fibre pairs (with a minimum term of 20 years and a maximum term of 24 years) and maintenance service. Under this agreement, signed in 2023, and the project review discussed in early 2026, approximately 42,600 km of fibre pairs will be made available to customers, connecting 1,865 primary distribution installations through 153 rings, with delivery scheduled between 2023 and 2028. A total of 1,214 km of fibre optic cable was delivered during the first quarter of 2026, enabling 63 plants to be connected.

Commercial performance
The commercial performance in the first quarter of 2026 has shown a significant improvement compared to the same period in 2025. This is mainly due to the integration of STE Energy S.r.l. into the Group in May 2025.
Commercial activities targeting new initiatives in the Utility-Scale and BESS segments continued.
Financial performance
Revenue in the first quarter of 2026 is up by approximately 120% compared with the same period in the previous year, mainly due to greater progress on photovoltaic EPC contracts, the sale of power plant controllers and the integration of STE Energy S.r.l. into the Altenia Group.
Operating activity
In the first quarter of 2026, a major Utility-Scale photovoltaic plant with an installed capacity of 41.2 MWp was energised in the province of Ragusa.
At the same time, construction of EPC plants continued, primarily in Sicily (around 125 MWp, including substation construction), Central Italy (about 85 MWp) and Southern Italy (roughly 12 MWp).
The first three months of 2026 also saw the launch of new major EPC projects and the related infrastructure for connection to the NTG; specifically: 45 MW in Central Italy, 66 MW in Puglia and a 86 MW cluster in Sicily for a customer with which the Altenia Group has a strong relationship.
A turnkey construction project is ongoing for an NTG connection (electricity substation and HV cable⁴) for a major customer operating in the data centre sector in the province of Milan.
The revamping of a HV plant for an industrial customer in Sicily has been completed.

Other Activities
The activities related to the framework agreement with Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI) relating to the "Design, supply, installation, certification and commissioning of Metering Equipment", are in progress. To date, 170 plants have been completed, compared to the 182 envisaged under the existing application contracts.
Private interconnectors pursuant to Law 99/2009
In the first quarter of 2026, operations and maintenance activities for the existing private interconnectors (Italy-Montenegro, Italy-France and Italy-Austria) continued, as did preparatory activities for the development of further interconnectors, including those with Switzerland and Slovenia:
Italy - Switzerland Interconnector Project
The project involves the development of new transmission lines between Italy and Switzerland, with the aim of increasing interconnection capacity between Italy and Switzerland. The project is currently under study.
Italy - Slovenia Interconnector Project
On 1 October 2025, Terna and the Slovenian TSO ELES signed a strategic cooperation agreement aimed at strengthening the electricity interconnections between the two countries through the implementation of the project "Removal of constraints on the 380 kV and 220 kV grid interconnected with Slovenia". The new interconnection will make it possible to double the interconnection capacity between Italy and Slovenia.
Under this agreement, it will be possible to supersede the current project, which is in the authorisation phase on the Italian side, relating to the construction of the direct current interconnection, partly by submarine cable, between the substations of Salgareda (IT) and Divača/Bericevo (SI).

International activities
As part of international initiatives, work on the project to enhance activities in South America continued by implementing the actions necessary to finalise the sale of Terna Perú and formally launch the liquidation of Terna 4 Chacas S.A.C.. These processes are expected to be completed in 2026.
In particular, on February a binding agreement for the disposal of 100% of Terna Peru S.A.C. was signed by the Terna Group's companies, Terna Plus S.r.l. and Rete S.r.l with Engie Transmisión Perú S.A.C. (Engie Group company). The company owns a 138 kV power line, approximately 132 km in length, connecting the Aguaytia and Pucallpa electricity substations in the Ucayali region of Peru. The transaction value amounts to approximately $15 million. Closing is expected by the third quarter of 2026, subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions precedent.

Revenue
| REGULATED ACTIVITIES | Q1 2026 | Q1 2025 | CHANGE |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tariff revenue and incentives | 758.8 | 726.5 | 32.3 |

| Revenue from construction services performed under concession in Italy | 19.0 | 16.6 | 2.4 |
| TOTAL | 794.7 | 755.2 | 39.5 |
Revenue from Regulated Activities, excluding revenue from construction services performed under concession (up €2.4 million), is up €37.1 million on the same period of the previous year, and primarily refers to the Transmission fee (up €34.6 million). The rise is mainly due to the increase in the Regulatory Asset Base (RAB) and the depreciation recognised in connection with the new assets that became operative and to the change in the scope of consolidation (acquisition of Rete 2 S.r.l. at the end of September 2025), offset by the reduction in the fast money component, following the update of the notional capitalisation rate defined for the 2026-2027 two-year period. No change in revenue is due to the cost of capital (WACC) which remains unchanged at 5.5%, as in the previous period. Higher insurance proceeds were also recognised (up €6.7 million), partially offset by lower revenue from service quality, which decreased by €1.0 million.
| NON-REGULATED ACTIVITIES | Q1 2026 | Q1 2025 | CHANGE |
|---|---|---|---|
| Equipment | 117.8 | 97.8 | 20.0 |

| Private interconnectors | 5.1 | 5.1 | 0.0 |
| TOTAL | 194.0 | 146.6 | 47.4 |
The €47.4 million increase in revenue from Non-Regulated Activities mainly reflects the higher contribution from the Equipment segment of the Brugg Cables Group (up €9.7 million) and the Tamini Group (up €10.3 million) due to higher orders, as well as the increase in revenue from the Energy Services segment (up €25.0 million) mainly resulting from the acquisition of STE Energy S.r.l. at the end of May 2025.
Annexus
Costs
Operating costs, net of the change in the cost of construction services performed under concession (up €2.4 million), rose by €38.9 million compared to the same period of the previous year. This is mainly due to:
- higher costs for services supporting the development of operations in both the Energy Services segment (up €16.3 million for the Altenia Group) and in regulated activities, in particular due to the intensification of maintenance activities (up €2.6 million);
- higher costs for materials related to Energy Services and Equipment operations (up €4.0 million for the Tamini Group and up €2.5 million for the Brugg Cables Group), mainly due to the progress of contracts and higher supply costs;
- personnel expenses (€8.1 million), mainly due to the rise in the average workforce, partially offset by higher capitalisations.
Amortisation, depreciation and impairment losses for the period amount to €247.8 million, an increase of €28.6 million compared with the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to the entry into service of new infrastructure.
Operating Profit (EBIT), after amortisation, depreciation and impairment losses, amount to €449.8 million, up €17.0 million compared with the first quarter of 2025 (up 3.9%).
Net financial expenses for the period total €46.6 million, mainly relate to the Parent Company, increased of up €7.8 million compared to €38.8 million in the first three months of 2025. The increase is mainly attributable to a higher average level of debt in the first quarter of 2026 compared with the corresponding period of 2025 and to higher interest rates compared to existing debt. This effect is partially offset by higher capitalised financial expenses.
After net financial expenses, profit before tax amounts to €403.2 million, compared with €394.0 million in the first quarter of 2025 (up 2.3%).
Income tax expense for the period amounts to €125.3 million, up €6.7 million compared with the same period of the previous year, essentially due to the higher profit before tax and the temporary two-percentage-point increase in the IRAP rate for 2026 and 2027 ("Decreto Bollette" - Decree-Law no. 21 of 20 February 2026). The tax rate stands at 31.1%, compared with 30.1% for the same period last year.
The profit for the period from continuing operations amounts to €277.9 million, an increase of €2.5 million (up 0.9%) compared with €275.4 million in the first quarter of 2025.
The loss for the period from assets held for sale amounts to €0.1 million, down €0.4 million compared with the first quarter of 2025.
The profit for the period amounts to €277.8 million, an increase of €2.1 million (up 0.8%) compared with €275.7 million in the first quarter of 2025.
The profit for the period attributable to owners of the Parent (excluding the share attributable to non-controlling interests) amounts to €276.5 million, up €1.2 million (up 0.4%) compared with the €275.3 million in the first quarter of 2025.

The €220.0 million increase in net non-current assets compared with 31 December 2025 primarily reflects a combination of the following:
- total capital expenditure of €511.4 million, as described in detail in the section on "Operating activities - Regulated Activities";
- depreciation and amortisation for the period of €248.3 million;
- other movements during the period in "Property, plant and equipment" and "Intangible assets", which overall fell by €42.7 million reflecting grants related to assets of the Parent Company (down €43.6 million, primarily for the re-routing of power lines at the request of third parties and projects financed by the Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security and the EU) and disposals and impairment losses resulting in a reduction of €0.2 million.
Total capital expenditure by the Terna Group in the first quarter of 2026, equal to €511.4 million, is down by 9.0% compared with €562.1 million in the corresponding period of 2025.

Main capital expenditure in the NTG* (€m)

* Amounts including financial expenses.
Net Working Capital of -€2,666.7 million absorbed cash of €44.8 million during the period compared with 31 December 2025, mainly due to the combined effect of:
Cash outflows
- decrease of €483.8 million in net trade payables, largely due to the payments made to increase capital expenditure in the last few months of the previous year;
- decrease of €56.1 million in other net liabilities, mainly due to lower contributions received from operators participating in the capacity market, the MACSE, the electricity market and the Interconnector Guarantee Fund as a guarantee for the related contractual obligations.
Cash inflows
- increase in net energy-related pass-through payables for €238.7 million, mainly due to the combined effect of:
- higher net liabilities related to the units essential for the security of the electricity system – UESS of €61.0 million arising from the collection items net of payments made during the first three months of 2026 to the owners of the plants⁵;
- decrease in Terna S.p.A.'s net receivables for the provision of dispatching services of €160.6 million, mainly attributable to recoveries made during the quarter in relation to costs recognised in the previous year, settled through the Uplift and Other⁶ components;
- decrease in net receivables resulting from regulated activities of €113.1 million mainly attributable to the combined effect of:
- decrease in receivables following settlement by the Fund for Energy and Environmental Services (CSEA) of the tariff decoupling adjustment for 2024 (former Resolution no. 573/2025), amounting to €67 million;
- decrease in receivables following the collection, during the first quarter of 2026, of part of the bonuses paid to Terna under the DSM 2022-2024 incentive mechanism, amounting to €58.7 million;
- increase in net tax liabilities of €143.3 million, mainly attributable to higher income taxes for the period (€125.3 million) and a reduction in the net VAT receivable of €16.1 million.

Gross Invested Capital amounts to €21,065.2 million, up by €264.8 million compared with 31 December 2025.
Sundry provisions are down €14.1 million, mainly due to accruals, net of related utilisations, for deferred tax assets. The decrease is mainly attributable to the tax effects of changes in derivative financial instruments held in portfolio and amortisation/ depreciation.
Net assets held for sale amount to €14.0 million at 31 March 2026, substantially in line with the balance at 31 December 2025.
Total Net Invested Capital, including net assets held for sale, amounts to €21,092.2 million, up €279.3 million compared to 31 December 2025. It is financed by equity attributable to owners of the parent of €8,901.8 million (€7,791.3 million at 31 December 2025), equity attributable to non-controlling interests of €20.2 million (€21.4 million at 31 December 2025) and net financial debt of €12,170.2 million, down €830.0 million compared to €13,000.2 million at 31 December 2025.
Debt
The Terna Group's financial management is based on an approach that aims to maximise efficiency and achieve and maintain a solid financial structure, whilst adopting a highly prudent approach to mitigation of the potential financial risks. The key aspects of the Group's financial policy are diversification of the sources of funding, a balance between short-and medium/long-term forms of debt and the proactive management of debt.
Gross debt at 31 March 2026 amounts to approximately €15.5 billion, mainly consisting of approximately €7.5 billion in the form of bond issues, approximately €7.0 billion in medium/long-term bank loans and approximately €0.8 billion in short-term borrowings.
The average term to maturity of medium/long-term debt, roughly 75% of which is fixed rate, is approximately 6 years.

The bond debt consists of both public issues and private placements, carried out as part of:
- the €12 billion EMTN Programme, authorised by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF) and listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange;
- the €4 billion EMTN Programme, approved by CONSOB and listed on the Mercato Telematico delle Obbligazioni (MOT) managed by Borsa Italiana.
Targeted specifically on qualified investors, Terna's bonds have a very diverse investor base, in terms of both sector and geographical profile. Most issues are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and some of the most recent ones are listed on the Electronic Bond Market (MOT) managed by Borsa Italiana.
With regard to bank debt, Terna's main lender is the European Investment Bank (EIB). The amount of outstanding debt with the EIB at 31 March 2026 was approximately €4.7 billion.
Thanks to the solidity of its credit profile, Terna is able to raise funding on the financial markets at extremely favourable conditions, as evidenced by the transactions described in the following paragraphs.
Sustainable finance
Fully in line with Terna's strategy, which aims to combine investment and sustainability to drive growth and value creation, it is Terna's ambition to play a leading role in the sustainable finance market. This strategy was also confirmed in the first quarter of 2026.
At 31 March 2026, the senior green bonds issued by Terna under the two Euro Medium Term Notes (EMTN) programmes amount to €3.75 billion. In addition, there are three perpetual, subordinated hybrid green issues, two issued on a standalone basis in February 2022 and April 2024, respectively, for an amount of €1.85 billion, and a third issued in January 2026 under the €4 billion EMTN Programme listed on the MOT, for a total nominal amount of €850 million. The latter issue is the first fixed-rate, non-convertible, perpetual, subordinated hybrid European Green Bond issued by Terna. The bond is non-callable for six years and was issued at 100%, with a spread of 123 basis points over the Mid-Swap rate, implying a subordination premium of less than 60 basis points over a senior issue of equivalent maturity. It will pay a fixed annual coupon of 3.875%, corresponding to the effective rate of the transaction, up to, but excluding, the first reset date of 2 February 2032. From that date, if the bond has not been redeemed early, the hybrid instrument will bear annual interest at the five-year Euro Midswap rate plus an initial margin of 123 basis points, increased by an additional 25 basis points from 2 February 2037 and by a further 75 basis points from 2 February 2052.
Green bond issues are used to finance or refinance Eligible Green Projects. These are projects producing environmental benefits that meet the criteria listed in the Green Bond Framework, updated by Terna in July 2025, and drafted in compliance with the Green Bond Principles updated by ICMA (International Capital Market Association) in June 2025, the requirements introduced by the new EU Regulation 2023/2631 (EU Green Bond Standard), and the European Union Taxonomy.
In July 2025, Terna's Green Bond Framework was assessed by S&P Global Ratings, acting as a “Second Party Opinion” provider, which assigned it an overall “Dark Green” rating, the highest level on S&P's “Shades of Green” scale. In addition, in January 2026, Moody's Ratings assigned the Green Bond Framework an overall “SQS1 Sustainability Quality Score (Excellent)”, the highest possible level under Moody's methodology.
Specifically, the net proceeds from the issues are used to finance: projects that aim to increase renewable energy production -- for example, infrastructure enabling renewable energy plants to be connected to the national grid or that allow for a larger volume of renewable energy to be injected into the grid;projects designed to cut CO_{2} emissions by reducing grid losses -- for example, infrastructure designed to boost the efficiency of the electricity transmission grid;projects designed to ensure the quality, security and resilience of grid infrastructure.
At 31 March 2026, Terna has also several ESG-linked Term Loans totalling €2.6 billion, including an ESG-linked Credit Facility Agreement of €100 million with a five-year term, signed with Banco BPM S.p.A. on 30 March 2026. In addition, there are three ESG linked Revolving Credit Facilities linked to sustainability indicators for a total of approximately €4.3 billion and a Euro Commercial Paper (ECP) programme of €2 billion for the issuance of short-term conventional or “ESG Notes”.
Terna's leadership in sustainable finance is widely recognised in the market which, since 2018, has shown a strong appetite for the green bonds issued. In addition to its inclusion in the main ESG indices, from January 2021, Terna is the first Italian electric utility to join the Nasdaq Sustainable Bond Network, the sustainable finance platform operated by Nasdaq that brings together investors, issuers, investment banks and specialist organisations.

- increase in short-term borrowings (€34.4 million), essentially due to the drawing of credit lines by the Parent Company;
- increase in the negative fair value of the portfolio of derivative financial instruments (€5.6 million), mainly due to changes in the derivatives portfolio and changes in the market interest rate curve;
- decrease in other net financial liabilities (€5.7 million) mainly due to the payment of interest accrued in previous periods;
- €546.6 million increase in financial assets as a result of higher investments linked to greater available liquidity;
- €183.5 million increase in cash and cash equivalents. Cash amounts to €2,016.2 million at 31 March 2026, including €1,747.8 million invested in short-term, readily convertible instruments and €268.4 million held in bank current accounts and cash in hand.

Outlook
The current geopolitical landscape continues to deteriorate, with mounting rivalries between major powers, escalating regional tensions and intensifying competition for access to strategic resources. Furthermore, this situation has been exacerbated by the recent extension of the conflict in the Middle East. This context creates an unstable climate that makes the global economy vulnerable to potential shocks and inflationary pressures. These are linked to the fragmentation of value chains, the reorganisation of trade routes and the strengthening of protectionist measures.
The macroeconomic picture continues to show moderate economic growth in 2026, which is slower than in 2025 and remains below pre-pandemic levels. In this scenario, the European electricity sector will continue its path to decarbonisation and energy security outlined in the Fit-for-55 package, as set out in Italy's NECP 2024.
Therefore, the Terna Group focuses on implementing the 2024-2028 Industrial Plan update, which includes investments totalling €17.7 billion, confirming Terna's role as an enabler of energy and digital transition, contributing to decarbonisation targets and increasing the Italian electricity system's independence.
In particular, with respect to Regulated Activities, the acceleration of investments aimed at increasing transport capacity, integrating growing volumes of production from renewable sources and improving the network's resilience and digitalisation will continue.
The strategic investment projects include the progress of the Tyrrhenian Link. In this respect, on the east link, the completion of laying terrestrial cables for both poles and the marine cable for pole 2, continues, in addition to assembly activities for the main equipment in the converter substations. On the west link, the marine laying of the electrode is also planned, as well as the continuation of civil works and the laying of terrestrial cables. The civil works of the converter substations, as well as the production of electromechanical equipment and prefabricated buildings will also continue.
With respect to SA.CO.I.3, both the construction sites for the land-sea landings in Italy and Corsica and the cable laying of cables in Tuscany will continue. The laying of the terrestrial cable in Sardinia and marine power cables is also planned.
With respect to the Adriatic Link project, production of the marine cable and the civil engineering works for the terrestrial cables in the Marche and Abruzzo regions will continue, as will the qualification tests for the marine and terrestrial cables. Activities at the sites of the converter substations and production of the related electromechanical equipment will continue.
Finally, with respect to the Chiaramonte Gulfi – Ciminna project, after the opening of the related work sites, construction activities will continue alongside the securing of easements, the supply of materials and the second-level authorisation process with the relevant concessions.
In addition, the Group will continue to make progress towards meeting the requirements resulting from the output-based regulatory mechanisms introduced by ARERA, with regard to both reducing dispatching costs (Dispatching Services Market incentives (MSD), Resolution no. 326/2024/R/eel) and delivering additional interzonal transmission capacity (interzonal incentives, Resolution no. 55/2024/R/eel). The Group is committed to maintaining the performance levels achieved during the observation period.

In 2026, ARERA is also expected to publish consultation documents and subsequent implementing resolutions regarding the experimental mechanism introduced with Resolution no. 390/2025/R/COM to encourage implementation and/or performance efficiency, for the evolution of regulation based on expenditure and output targets (ROSS). The Group will also continue to monitor the evolution of the main parameters used in the formula for calculating the WACC for the 2025-2027 regulatory period, depending on whether the trigger event for 2027 is activated.
With respect to Non-Regulated Activities, after completing the reorganisation process involving the subsidiaries of Terna Energy Solutions S.r.l., the Terna Group will gain a stronger foothold in the various segments of the Energy Transition value chain: the Altenia Group, a system integrator with specialised and diversified expertise in the design, construction and maintenance of electrical and renewable energy plants; the Tamini Group, a leading transformer manufacturer; and the Brugg Cables Group, a company operating in the terrestrial cable sector. The latter two, which are also instrumental in the realisation of the Group's investments, will develop high value-added activities for businesses, offering customers technological, innovative and digital solutions in the energy and industrial sectors and seizing growth opportunities by both strengthening market leadership and increasing production capacity.
The Group will also continue to develop its Connectivity business based on activities related to the dark fibre network.
With respect to International activities, the Group will continue the process of enhancing the asset portfolio in the American continent, continuing the actions required to finalise the disposal transaction in Peru. In addition, monitoring of the foreign market will continue, with a focus on the Mediterranean and Balkan areas, with a view to gaining insights into changes in the backdrop and context.
In 2026, the Group confirms its focus on improving operational efficiency and management of the transmission grid through the adoption of innovative technologies and the digitalisation of grid assets, thanks to the implementation of IoT technologies. This will include, by way of example, implementation of the latest mobile network technologies, the upgrade of monitoring systems and the development of advanced predictive algorithms designed to optimise infrastructure maintenance and boost grid resilience.
Management of the Terna Group's business will continue to be based on a sustainable approach and respect for ESG aspects, ensuring that it is able to minimise the environmental impact, involve local stakeholders and meet the need for integrity, responsibility and transparency.
In 2026, the Terna Group's expected financial highlights include revenue of €4.41 billion, EBITDA of €2.93 billion and Net profit at €1.12 billion. With specific reference to capital expenditure, the Group has a target of approximately €4.2 billion in 2026. The above objectives will be pursued whilst maintaining a commitment to maximising the cash generation necessary to ensure a sound, balanced financial structure.
