Trading Update

Ahead of the publication on 28 May 2026 of results for the full year ended 31 March 2026, SSE plc is today updating the
market on its performance and outlook for the fiscal year just ended, including:
-- Adjusted Earnings Per Share expected to be in the range of 147 - 152 pence.
-- Continued acceleration of networks investment, around 60% higher than prior year, with renewables output increasing
by around 10% year-on-year.
-- On course to deliver around GBP3.5bn of capital investment with just over GBP10bn of adjusted net debt and hybrid
capital.
Full-year trading update
Full year 2025/26 adjusted Earnings Per Share is expected to be between 147 - 152 pence. This updated guidance reflects
continued strong operational performance and strategic delivery during the year, as the Group progresses its five-year
GBP33bn investment plan.
The regulated Networks businesses are expected to deliver an around 60% year-on-year increase in capital investment, as
momentum continues in the delivery of their long-term business plans. The majority of this increase has been delivered
in Transmission, which now has five of the 11 major projects under construction and 26 of the 34 required major
consents received.
Renewable generation output is expected to be around 14.5 TWH, a 10% increase year-on-year, reflecting increasing
capacity from the construction programme balanced by the mixed weather conditions experienced during the course of the
year.
Operating profit expectations for the Group's other Business Units, as well as all other forward-looking guidance
previously provided, remains unchanged.
SSE continues to closely monitor developments in the Middle East, but there has been no immediate impact to the Group's
overall performance given the resilience of our business mix.
Capital investment for the Group is expected to be around GBP3.5bn for the year. Adjusted net debt and hybrid capital is
expected to be just over GBP10bn at 31 March 2026, underpinned by a strong liquidity position totalling well over GBP5bn.
Last month, SSEN Transmission confirmed its acceptance of Ofgem's RIIO-T3 Final Determination and has released an
investor webinar about the price control which can be found at sse.com/investors.
The full-year results presentation and Q&A session will be conducted online on 28 May 2026.
