Adj. EBITDA increased by 17% to €552m, and adj. operating profit by 20% to €389m, both above the consensus and our expectations. This good operating result was mainly due to the Generation division (EBITDA was up 23% to €278m q-o-q), after favorable hydro conditions. The positive impact of the settlement of futures contracts helped to reduce the debt level. The dividend is €1.1, implying an attractive yield of c.5%. Positive view confirmed.
