Commenting on the Financial Results Evangelos Mytilineos, Executive Chairman, stated:
"2025 was marked by geopolitical uncertainty, trade tensions and volatility in global energy and metals markets.
For METLEN, 2025, was a historic year, as the Company was listed on the London Stock Exchange and subsequently included in the FTSE 100 and MSCI UK Indexes, marking the beginning of a new chapter focused on growth, international expansion and enhanced access to global capital markets. This was followed by a new corporate transformation - the third in less than a decade - reflecting the continued evolution of our business.
Despite this challenging and fluid operating environment, as well as the pressures faced within the MPP sub-sector, METLEN delivered a strong performance across its core Sectors.
The strategic investments presented at our April 2025 Capital Markets Day (CMD) are progressing as planned. Alongside our established activities, we are further strengthening our growth profile through new strategic pillars, including Critical Metals- such as gallium - Circular Metallurgy, and the scaling up of our defence business, all of which are expected to strengthen the synergies across our businesses and support the delivery of our medium-term strategic and financial objectives.
METLEN operates in a dynamic global environment where geopolitical developments and market volatility could influence a company's performance. Periods of heightened uncertainty, including potential conflicts in key energy-producing regions such as the Persian Gulf, typically increase volatility in energy and commodity markets, creating both risks and upside potential for well-managed companies. METLEN's diversified portfolio, disciplined risk management framework, and active hedging strategies are designed to mitigate downside risks while enabling METLEN to capitalize on favorable market conditions. During such periods, stronger commodity prices and enhanced trading conditions can support revenue growth across both the energy and metals sectors."

Revenue reached €7,107 million in 2025, up 25% from €5,683 million in 2024, primarily fuelled by a record performance of M Renewables sector and more than a twofold increase in the top line of the Infrastructure and Concessions sector.
EBITDA declined by 30% to €753 million, compared to €1,080 million in 2024, despite the strong performance of the core business which continues to demonstrate robust growth momentum. The decrease in EBITDA reflects previously stated project execution-related losses, mainly associated with the Protos project in the UK, which resulted in cost overruns and schedule delays.
METLEN performed a comprehensive review of all MPP projects and has booked losses for cost overruns to date as well as projected cost overruns and potential claims that may arise in the future through METLEN's contractual obligations.
In line with its track-record of safeguarding shareholder interests, METLEN successfully completed the irrevocable partial monetisation of a legal claim in 2025 for €130 million. METLEN holds a number of similar legal claims arising from its ordinary operations and may monetise part of these claims while retaining the upside upon final resolution. Gains from the sale of such claims are recognised in Other Operating Income.
Adjusting for significant unexpected project losses and partial monetization of claims, the EBITDA of METLEN would have exceeded €1 billion.
M Renewables, Storage and Energy Transition Platform (M RES ET) recorded a c.78% year-on-year decline in profitability due to the aforementioned MPP - related losses. Renewables (Greece and internationally) continued its strong growth trajectory, with profitability increasing by approximately 45% year-on-year (following a similar increase in 2024 versus 2023). This sustained growth is expected to continue, supported by a capital-efficient, self-funded business model and a geographically diversified portfolio, which together provide a competitive advantage over more traditional renewable energy operators.
Fully Integrated Energy Utility (comprising of energy generation, electricity & natural gas supply) delivered another solid performance, broadly in line with 2024, further reinforcing its position as a leading integrated energy provider in Greece. METLEN continued to strengthen its presence across both generation and supply. By year-end, METLEN's electricity supply market share exceeded 21% in Greece, while its generation accounted for approximately 19% of total Greek production, benefiting from the strategic advantages of vertical integration within the Energy Sector. Growth in supply market share was supported by competitive pricing, underpinned by the operation of Greece's most efficient thermal fleet, with business margins consistently maintained above 20%.
Metals Sector profitability was constrained by higher electricity costs, which weighed on margins. METLEN is transitioning to a greener, progressively lower-cost electricity mix, supported by both its own and third-party renewable energy production, further enhancing its cost structure. Increasing renewable energy penetration in METLEN's electricity mix is expected to deliver structurally lower and more stable costs, materially reducing exposure to energy price volatility. This performance will be further enhanced by the strategic synergies between METLEN's Energy and Metals Sectors. Particularly, the aluminium plant operates as a "virtual battery," taking advantage of periods of low electricity prices driven by market oversupply. These operational and strategic advantages position METLEN among the most competitive aluminium producers globally, despite the persistently high energy costs in Europe and the associated production challenges.
Infrastructure and Concessions Sector, EBITDA doubled to €100 million, up from €50 million in 2024, reflecting strong execution and increased activity. The backlog of contracted and near-award projects is approaching €2 billion, providing clear visibility on future revenues. The outlook for the Greek construction sector remains highly favourable, underpinned by robust momentum across public and private infrastructure projects, as well as concession schemes.

METLEN's operational portfolio reached 1.3GW by year-end 2025. Overall, the global portfolio reached 11.9GW, up ~7% versus the start of the year.
In 2025, global electricity generation from RES totaled 1.4TWh, comprising 0.7TWh from domestic (Greek) assets and 0.7TWh from international operations. International RES output declined as a result of the sale of Chilean assets during the year. The results highlight METLEN's continued acceleration in renewable energy growth and its expanding global presence.
METLEN leveraged its diversified global footprint and Asset Rotation Plan to further enhance the profitability of its Renewables, Storage & Energy Transition Platform, drawing on expertise and strategic partnerships in over 20 countries while optimizing financing. In 2025, METLEN executed SPAs totaling 1.5GW, including 0.6GW of PV projects combined with 1.6GWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Chile, 42MW in South Korea, and 0.9GW across Europe. A 283MW UK solar portfolio was negotiated in 2025 and closed in Q1 2026.
METLEN also secured long-term PPAs in Europe and Latin America: over 250GWh annually in Italy and the UK, and a 15-year BESS PPA in Chile delivering 450GWh p.a. from Q2 2026, backed by 322MW of BESS - demonstrating METLEN's integrated renewable generation and energy storage capabilities.
METLEN accelerated the development, construction, and management of BESS and hybrid projects in 2025, serving both third-party clients and its own portfolio. Pipeline continues to grow across Bulgaria, Greece, Chile, Italy, Spain, and Romania, with additional third-party BESS projects totaling 0.7GWh in the final contracting stage.
A major milestone was the Q1 2026 Joint Venture Agreement with PPC Group to develop, construct, and operate BESS projects totaling up to 1,500 MW / 3,000 MWh in Romania, Bulgaria, and Italy, strengthening METLEN's European storage footprint.
With regards to the 3rd-party EPC activities during 2025, new agreements cover solar projects of c.1.2GW, Hybrid projects of c.0.5GW/1.5GWh and BESS projects of c.1.0GWh across Greece, Chile, Bulgaria, Ireland, New Zealand, and the UK. Within 2025 METLEN, had under construction solar projects of c.2.2 GW, Hybrid projects of c.0.5 GW / c.1.5 GWh & BESS projects of c.2.4 GWh.
The former MPP sub-sector was integrated into the Renewables, Storage & Energy Transition platform in Q4 2025. Project execution challenges principally affecting three projects in the UK and Poland -most notably the Protos projects in the UK- led to significant cost overruns. The group implemented enhanced controls in this area following the listing on LSE.
All affected projects remain on track for commissioning in 2026 under revised timelines. METLEN has conducted a comprehensive review of all MPP and has identified no other significant cost overruns to date.
METLEN has since taken a series of targeted actions to materially strengthen execution oversight and financial control. These include enhanced accounting procedures to enable earlier identification of cost deviations, revised project budgeting disciplines, and a significantly higher cadence of project reforecasting and management review.

2025 was marked by a 4% increase in domestic electricity production, supported- for the first time since the early 2000s-by meaningful electricity exports, which reached 3 TWh (c.6% of total Greek demand), compared to just 0.3 TWh in 2024. This further strengthens the consolidation of Greece's position as a net electricity exporter, reflecting improved system adequacy, enhanced export capacity, and increased interconnection utilization. The trend builds on the structural shift that began in the second half of 2024, supported by favorable regional market dynamics, signifying the strong foundations of the Greek electricity system.
The increase in generation was primarily met by natural gas-fired plants, with output rising 9% year-on-year, followed by renewables, which grew by 4%, offsetting reduced contributions from hydro and lignite, the latter continuing its structural decline. In terms of the generation mix, renewables accounted for 49% of total demand (up from 47% in 2024), while natural gas increased to 45% (from 41%), further underscoring the system's transition toward cleaner and more flexible generation sources.
Against this backdrop, METLEN's total power generation in Greece reached 9.7 TWh in 2025, up 3% year-on-year, representing 18.8% of total demand (from 18.2% in 2024), supported by both thermal and renewable assets. In 2025, METLEN delivered 7.8 TWh of output from its three CCGTs, continuing to achieve robust generation margins in excess of 20%, marking another year of strong operational performance.
METLEN's flexible and technologically diversified portfolio, anchored by the most efficient thermal fleet in Greece and a continuously expanding renewables base, enables METLEN to optimize dynamically between generation and trading opportunities. Looking ahead, METLEN is well positioned to benefit from Greece's strengthening export profile and rising electricity demand, driven by electrification and data center growth. Its ability to secure competitive natural gas sourcing through established partnerships further reinforces its competitive positioning.

Metals Sector reported revenue of €907 million, representing 13% of the METLEN's total revenue. EBITDA declined to €225 million, down 24% versus 2024, driven primarily by higher energy costs.
The average aluminium price (3M LME) in 2025 stood at $2,638/t, up from $2,456/t in 2024, representing an increase of 7.4%. During the year, aluminium prices exhibited significant volatility while maintaining an upward trajectory, reaching $3,000/t levels in late December for the first time since 2022. In Q1 2026, prices continued their upward trend with increased volatility, peaking above $3,500/t before moderating.
Over the course of 2025, the global aluminium market ended broadly balanced to modestly in deficit. Prices were heavily influenced by trade tensions, particularly the introduction of U.S. import tariffs, which altered sourcing strategies and created regional cost premiums. These policy shifts triggered uncertainty among market participants, contributing to increased market volatility. A weakening U.S. dollar throughout much of the year made dollar-denominated commodities more attractive globally.
In the first months of 2026, the global aluminium market has been influenced by the ongoing Middle Eastern crisis, as aluminium production has been disrupted due to supply chain constraints tied to the Iranian conflict. At the same time, supply growth remains limited as Chinese smelters reach their self-imposed capacity cap. Together, these factors are expected to maintain market tightness and support continued price volatility.
Aluminium billet premia continued to play a pivotal role in shaping regional profitability throughout 2025, as premia in Europe remained elevated. Throughout the year, premia held firm within a historically elevated range of $500-$530/t, reflecting a structurally tight European market. This sustained strength was primarily driven by limited domestic supply as well as persistently high energy costs. As in the previous year, Europe continued to rely heavily on imports from third countries to meet its billet needs, reinforcing the region's premium resilience. During 2026, aluminium billet premia increased significantly, driven primarily by heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
Alumina Price Index (API) averaged $386/t in 2025, down 23% compared to the previous year. Persistently high energy costs continued to weigh on refining margins, keeping input costs elevated for non-integrated aluminium producers. In 2026, alumina prices declined further amid a growing market surplus driven by supply additions and easing bauxite prices.
Today, METLEN's main alumina contracts are LME-linked, mitigating the impact of Alumina Price Index (API) fluctuations while capturing upside from aluminium price movements. This alignment acts as a natural hedge, improving cost predictability and risk management across the aluminium value chain.
Management is taking proactive measures to lock in favorable LME prices for the coming years. METLEN has effectively hedged its aluminium and calcined alumina production for 2026 and 2027 at progressively higher price levels, ensuring strong margin visibility. Given METLEN's 1-2 year forward hedging strategy, the upside from currently elevated aluminium prices is expected to materialize from late-2027 onwards. METLEN has also hedged most of its major cost components; for instance, natural gas is hedged for 2026 and 2027 ensuring high margin visibility.
At the same time, METLEN is transitioning to a greener, progressively lower-cost electricity mix, supported by both its own and third-party renewable energy production, further enhancing its cost structure. Increasing renewable energy penetration in METLEN's electricity mix is expected to deliver structurally lower and more stable costs, materially reducing exposure to energy price volatility. In parallel, the aluminium plant operates as a "virtual battery," taking advantage of periods of low electricity prices driven by market oversupply.
These operational and strategic advantages position METLEN among the most competitive aluminium producers globally, despite the persistently high energy costs in Europe and the associated production challenges. The greater verticalization in the aluminum market is now considered as imperative, not only for an even more effective cost management, but also for the seamless continuation of the production process, by securing bauxite supply, the raw material for alumina, which in turn becomes aluminum's key input cost.

The Infrastructure and Concessions EBITDA, as communicated in our April 2025 CMD, doubled, reaching €100 million compared to €50 million in 2024. The backlog of ongoing infrastructure projects, including projects at an advanced stage prior to contract award, approaches €2 billion.
For 2026, the Sector is expected to maintain its growth momentum, targeting EBITDA of €140-150 million, supported by continued expansion in construction activity and additional infrastructure projects across both public and private sectors, despite inflationary pressures on building materials driven by the ongoing wars in Ukraine and the Middle East. Market trends are underpinned by continued large‑scale investments in transport infrastructure and urban regeneration, a substantial pipeline of Public-Private Partnership (PPP) and concession projects, rising demand for hotel and commercial developments-particularly in high‑tourism areas-the adoption of modern construction technologies and sustainability practices to improve cost efficiency and project management, and the effective use of European and national funding instruments.
Over the medium term, the outlook for the Greek construction sector remains particularly positive across public and private works, as well as concessions PPPs, where the Infrastructure and Concessions sector (METKA ATE and M Concessions) plays an increasingly important role. In February 2026, METKA ATE approved its participation with a 30% stake in a new construction consortium, alongside TERNA and AKTOR ATE, which will act as the main Design-Build subcontractor for the "Northern Road Axis of Crete - Chania-Heraklion Section" project.
Prospects
METLEN is expected to achieve its medium-term objectives, outlined in the CMD in April 2025. Further analysis regarding METLEN's financial results, prospects, business developments and strategy will be provided by METLEN's Management in the scheduled conference call on Thursday 9/4/2026, 9:00 am BST.

Alternative Performance Measures
METLEN makes use of the alternative performance measures ("APMs") Group EBITDA, Net Debt, Return on Capital Employed and Return on Equity. These APMs are used by the Executive Leadership Team to monitor and manage the performance of the Group, to ensure that decisions taken align with its long-term interests. The Directors believe that these alternative performance measures are useful measures as they focus on core functional activities before the effects of capital structure, enabling periodical review of essential items for comparability and purposes of transparency. It is pointed out that the following indicators are APMs, which are not defined in IFRS. The Group considers these figures to be relevant and reliable for the evaluation of the Group's financial performance and position; however, they do not replace other figures calculated in accordance with IFRS.

The comparative figures for the financial year 31 December 2024 have been extracted from METLEN SA statutory accounts, the former parent of the Group prior to the transition of METLEN's primary listing to the LSE. The report of the auditors was (i) unqualified, (ii) did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report, and (iii) did not contain a statement under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except where otherwise stated, and are presented in Euros, being the currency in which the Group trades in the normal course of business. All values are rounded to the nearest thousand (€'000), except where otherwise indicated.
During the year, METLEN Energy & Metals PLC implemented a corporate reorganisation in connection with its admission to the London Stock Exchange, pursuant to which it became the new listed parent entity of the existing Group headed by Metlen S.A. As there was no change in ultimate control, the transaction was accounted for using predecessor accounting in accordance with IAS 8. The condensed consolidated financial statements therefore represent a continuation of the existing Group, with the assets, liabilities and equity balances recognised at their existing carrying values at the date of the reorganisation with the assets, liabilities and equity balances recognised at their existing carrying values at the date of the reorganisation. No goodwill or fair value adjustments arose from the transaction. Any difference between the legal share capital of the new parent and the historical equity of the predecessor group was recognised within equity as a group reorganisation reserve. With the exception of the application of predecessor accounting set out above, the condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies previously adopted by the Metlen S.A. group for the year ended 31 December 2024.
Actual outcomes may differ from those estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period; if the revision affects both current and future periods, adjustments are recognised in the period of the revision and in future periods.
Management regularly reviews, and revises as necessary, the accounting judgements that significantly impact the amounts recognised in the Consolidated Financial Statements, as well as the estimates that are considered "critical" due to their potential to result in material adjustments in the Consolidated Financial Statements
