- EBITDA fell by 21.3% year-on-year to €2,737.5m.
- The Group result was down 20.6% to €1,489.4m.

Further key figures
At 0.79, the hydro coefficient for the run-of-river power plants was 30 percentage points below the previous year’s level (1.09) and 21 percentage points below the long-term average. Due to lower wind supply and lower global radiation, electricity generation from new renewable electricity generation facilities also declined. In financial year 2025, the new renewables coefficient for wind and photovoltaic power was 0.82, which is 18 percentage points below the planned value and 9 percentage points below the 2024 level (0.91).
