Elia Group Elia raises 850m + 1.35bn rights issue plan, very strong FY24 results

Elia announced a EUR 2.2bn equity package, which includes 850m through a private placement (PIPE). The private placement involves key investors such as ATLAS Infrastructure, BlackRock, Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and Publi-T/NextGrid. Elia also committed to a 1.35bn rights issue, which is already 55% subscribed. Elia Group reported FY24 Net profit (Elia Share) of EUR 421.3m, +29.8% yoy vs. our 365.3m expected. That is far above Elia guidance of 355-395m. FY24 EPS of 5.73 vs. our estimate of 4.97. The GE net profit came 37m above our expectation on higher remuneration from capex and also the Non-regulated loss of 9.2m was much better than guidance and our 31.2m expected loss (FX hedge). The Net profit outlook FY25 amounted to a 490m to 540m range vs. our expectation of 530m. The Capex FY24-28 was also raised by 1.6bn to 31.6bn. Analyst call at 10H00.
