(Reuters) – Italian energy group Edison reported a 13.3% jump in nine-month core profit (EBITDA) to 1.4 billion euros ($1.5 billion), driven higher by production of renewable energies, gas portfolio optimisation and retail sales, it said on Wednesday.
Italy’s second-largest gas supplier also nudged up its 2024 guidance on EBITDA to at least 1.65 billion euros, leaving room for improvement from a previously released target of 1.65 billion euros.
The group’s net profit for the period stood at 403 million euros, down from last year’s 486 million euros.
