First three months 2026 interim report: solid performance and debut asset rotation transaction completed. Full-year 2026 guidance for Adjusted EBITDA and Investments reiterated
Summary by AI BETAClose X
AB “Ignitis grupė” publishes its First three months 2026 interim report, which is attached to this notice.
Financial performance
Our Adjusted EBITDA for the first three months of 2026 amounted to EUR 192.2 million (+2.0% YoY). The growth was driven by the stronger performance of Networks and Customers & Solutions business segments.
In 3M 2026, our Investments amounted to EUR 156.9 million (+7.1% YoY). Networks accounted for 70.6% of total Investments, Green Capacities represented – 24.9%. The increase in Investments was driven by higher Investments in Networks, primarily related to the expansion of the electricity distribution network, and was partly offset by lower Investments in the Green Capacities, as six projects reached COD in 2025.
Our Net Debt decreased to EUR 1,893.1 million as of 31 March 2026 (-1.0% compared to EUR 1,912.0 million as of 31 December 2025), driven by the completed transaction for the sale of a 49% in Vilnius CHP, which was partly offset by higher working capital needs. Supported by an increase in FFO, our FFO LTM/Net Debt ratio improved to 21.5% (compared to 21.0% as of 31 December 2025).
Business development
Green Capacities:
- Installed Capacity stands at 2.1 GW, with an additional 0.6 GW Under Construction;
- debut asset rotation transaction completed.
Customers & Solutions:
- 1,854 (+55 since 31 December 2025) EV charging points installed.
Sustainability
Ensuring the health and safety of our employees and contractors is one of the most fundamental priorities of the Group. However, in February 2026, a contractor employee was fatally injured during work. We are committed to take every possible measure to prevent such tragedies in the future. Our employee TRIR was 0.0 (-1.41 YoY) with no incidents reported in 3M 2026, and contractor TRIR was 1.01 (+0.55 YoY).
Our carbon intensity (Scope 1 & 2) amounted to 214 g CO2-eq/kWh (-12.8% YoY). The decrease was driven by lower electricity generation from natural gas at Elektrėnai Complex.
Shareholder returns and 2026 outlook
In line with our Dividend Policy, a dividend of EUR 0.683 per share (+3.0% YoY), corresponding to EUR 49.4 million, was paid for H2 2025.
We reiterate our full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance of EUR 550–600 million, and Investments guidance of EUR 590–690 million.
