Elia Group FY25 underlying result in line, but strong German outlook FY26

The FY25 group net profit stood at 556.6m, a 32.1% increase yoy vs. our 525.9m expectation. This was mainly thanks to tax compensations in Germany and at the holding level. Net profit grew 58% at the 50Hz division to 388m vs. 368m expected that benefited from a higher 10y bund. ETB came in line with our expectation at 272m vs. 274m. The non-regulated division however realised a net profit of 5.3m vs. a net loss of 12.8m expected thanks to 44m tax compensation. Elia initiated a strong FY26 outlook for Net Group Profit between EUR 690m and 740m vs our expectation of 603m. The outlook is now based on a 10y OLO of 3.2% vs. 3.1% previously and a 10y bund of 2.8% vs. 2.5%. In Germany the outlook is particularly strong thanks to high Capex remuneration and Interest capitalisation. We expect Elia to continue its strong performance as it has been a good hiding place in the current market uncertainty. Grids have become part of the Datacenter gold-rush. We maintain our rating and target price. Conference call at 10h30.
