Acea lists nine-month results for November 13, with no published figures available
Key Facts
Acea listed its nine-month 2026 results among its results materials and set November 13, 2026, as the date for their presentation, according to the company’s presentations and webcasts page. Its financial calendar also showed that the interim report on operations through September 30, 2026, was scheduled for the same date. However, figures for the period, including earnings and revenue, do not appear in the official materials available for review. It is therefore not possible to confirm growth in earnings or revenue over the nine months, or to conclude that the company reaffirmed its annual guidance in announcing results for the period. What is confirmed is the listing of the results and the report date, not the financial outcome.
The board’s approval date for the interim report was changed from November 11 to November 13, 2026, according to Acea’s notice revising its meeting calendar. The revised date matches the date the company listed for its nine-month results on its presentations page. The report covers operations through September 30, according to the company’s financial calendar. First-half results, published in a separate announcement, provide earlier performance context but do not represent the nine-month outcome. Acea announced its 2026 guidance at the time, but that announcement does not in itself establish that it reaffirmed the guidance in its November report.
In its first-half 2026 results, recurring pro forma EBITDA was about 719 million euros, up 4% from the same period in 2025, according to the company’s statement. Recurring net profit was 176 million euros, up 16% year on year. Reported net profit reached 454 million euros, up 101%, including a capital gain from the sale of Acea Energia, according to the same statement. These figures show the difference between recurring and reported profit measures in the first half. They remain six-month figures and should not be presented as cumulative results through September.
In its first-half announcement, Acea said its 2026 guidance was confirmed and that it expected EBITDA to increase by between 3% and 5% compared with the adjusted 2025 figure. The guidance excluded results from Acea Energia, classified as discontinued operations, according to the statement. This guidance remains background from an earlier announcement and is not evidence of the company’s position when it announced nine-month results. In first-quarter 2026 results, consolidated pro forma revenue grew 1%, EBITDA on the same basis rose 1%, while consolidated net profit after non-controlling interests increased 13% year on year. Those figures are a historical comparison for the first quarter and do not replace the interim report figures through September 30.
Acea’s nine-month 2025 results provide a separate historical benchmark: pro forma EBITDA was about 1.084 billion euros, and net profit was 415 million euros, including a capital gain from the sale of the high-voltage network. Recurring net profit for the period was 301 million euros, up 8% from the first nine months of 2024. Acea said about 95% of the period’s EBITDA came from regulated activities, citing the group’s role as an infrastructure operator. These figures cover the period ended in September 2025 and do not, on their own, reveal the direction of 2026 results or the size of their year-on-year change. The report scheduled for November 13 remains the date the company listed for presenting its nine-month 2026 results.
