AB "Ignitis grupe" publishes its First nine months 2026 interim report, which is attached to this notice.
Financial performance
Our Adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of 2026 amounted to EUR 430.4 million (+6.2% YoY). The growth was primarily driven by the stronger performance of the Customers & Solutions and Networks business segments.
In 9M 2026, our Investments amounted to EUR 432.4 million (-18.4% YoY). Networks accounted for 65.4% of the total Investments, and Green Capacities for 28.6%. Despite higher Investments in Networks, primarily driven by higher Investments in the electricity distribution network maintenance, total Investments declined YoY, mainly due to lower Investments in the Green Capacities segment, as several projects reached COD in 2025.
As of 30 September 2026, Net Debt stood at EUR 1,960.6 million, up 2.5% from year-end 2025, mainly reflecting continued Investments. FFO LTM/Net Debt improved to 21.4% from 21.0%, supported by higher FFO LTM on the back of EBITDA growth. Also, S&P Global Ratings reaffirmed our 'BBB+' (stable outlook) and Moody's assigned the inaugural 'Baa1' rating (stable outlook). Finally, we successfully issued our inaugural EUR 300 million 5-year European Green Bond (EuGB), carrying a fixed annual coupon of 4.500%.
Business development
Networks:
- 2027-2031 electricity regulatory period: no significant changes;
- 2027 regulatory parameters set: total RAB at 2.2 EURbn (+0.3 EURbn), WACC (weighted average) at 5.83% (+0.09 pp) and additional tariff component at 29.7 EURm (-42.6%);
- 4.4 EURbn (+26%) of Investments proposed under the updated 10-year Investment Plan (2026-2035).
Green Capacities:
- Installed Capacity stands at 2.1 GW (2.3 GW post-reporting);
- capacity Under Construction increased by 0.1 GW to 0.7 GW (from 0.6 GW);
- reached COD at Tume SF (174 MW) in Latvia;
- Final Investment Decision made for the Tume BESS (107 MW / 215 MWh) project in Latvia;
- debut asset rotation transaction completed.
Customers & Solutions:
- entered into a long-term LNG purchase agreement for 2027-2036, securing 10 cargoes annually (approx. 1 TWh/year);
- 2,004 (+205 since 31 December 2025) EV charging points installed.
Sustainability
Protecting the health and safety of our employees and contractors is a top priority for the Group. Despite our efforts, one contractor fatality occurred during the reporting period. We are committed to implementing all possible measures to prevent similar incidents in the future. Employee TRIR stood at 1.60 (+0.63 YoY) and contractor TRIR at 0.63 (-0.08 YoY). The increase in employee TRIR was partly driven by extensive network restoration works following the severe storm in Lithuania in August.
Our carbon intensity (Scope 1 & 2) amounted to 172 g CO2-eq/kWh (-22.6% YoY). The decrease was driven by lower electricity generation from natural gas at Elektrenai Complex.
Shareholder returns and 2026 outlook
Supported by the Group's asset rotation gain realised from the partial disposal of Vilnius CHP in Q1 2026 and in accordance with our Dividend Policy, we intend to increase the dividend for 2026 by 10% compared with 2025, to EUR 1.504 per share, or EUR 108.9 million in total. This would raise the DPS floor across the 2026-2029 strategic period. As part of the above, for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2026, we propose to distribute a dividend of EUR 0.400 per share, or EUR 29.0 million in total, subject to the decision of our EGM to be held on 10 December 2026.
Following strong 9M 2026 results, we narrow our full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance range to EUR 575-600 million (previously EUR 550-600 million) and reiterate Investments guidance of EUR 590-690 million.
