2023 HALF-YEAR RESULTS
Substantially higher EBITDA and stabilisation of net financial debt
Gradual return to better nuclear fleet availability
Good overall operational performance
| Financial performance Sales: €75.5 bn: organic increase of +14.4% vs. H1 2022 EBITDA: €16.1 bn: x6 organic increase vs. H1 2022 Net income - Group share: €5.8 bn Net financial debt: €64.8 bn vs. €64.5 bn at end-2022 The strong growth in the Group's results is due to a good operational performance in a favourable price environment and after a year 2022 marked by an exceptional regulation with no equivalent in 2023. Operational performance Group’s Electricity production totalled 232.1TWh in H1 2023, including: Nuclear output for 179.3TWh, of which:
2 will be repaired by the end of 2023 and 1 during its next 10-year inspection. The estimate of nuclear output in France is confirmed at 300-330TWh for 2023 and 315-345TWh for 2024. It is 335-365 for 2025 (1).
Renewable output for 34.8TWh, of which:
Connections of renewable energy facilities by Enedis were up by 125% vs.H1 2022. Volumes distributed totalled 169.1TWh, down by -9.3TWh vs. H1 2022, reflecting lower consumption. The residential customer portfolio for electricity in G4 countries(3) stabilised during H1 2023. Market offers in France continued to progress, increasing by 17% since end-2022. Carbon intensity for H1 2023 was 40gCO2/kWh. The 10gCO2/kWh decline vs. H1 2022 is mainly explained by the lower thermal output. The 4 operational excellence projects are in application increasing productivity on operations and projects, industrialising digital, developing skills and adapting operational performance management systems. At its meeting of 26 July 2023, chaired by Luc Rémont, EDF’s Board of Directors approved the consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2023. Luc Rémont, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of EDF, said: “The first half of 2023 marks the company’s return to a good operational performance in a favourable context of price, after a year 2022 impacted by industrial difficulties and unfavourable effects of an exceptional regulation. Our results reflect the heightened effort put in by EDF’s team. Competition is tough, but EDF’s business dynamic is founded on tailored offers and quality of service for our customers. The significant rise in results means that EDF is on track for its financial objectives. The whole Group is deeply engaged in improving efficiency and performance so we can continue to provide increasingly effective support for domestic and business customers in their energy transitions. Together with its industrial partners, the EDF Group is well on the way to meeting all its future challenges.” Highlights Nuclear

In a context of recovery of nuclear generation in France, the significant €13.4 billion increase in EBITDA is essentially explained by the higher electricity sale prices of the first half of 2023. The impact of the exceptional regulatory measures introduced in France in 2022 to limit price rises for consumers had no equivalent in 2023. However, the cost of purchases to cover network losses was driven up significantly by high market prices. Operating expenses were also up due to the inflationary environment.
- Net income
The financial result for the first half of 2023 is an expense of €1.5 billion, an improvement of €1.4 billion over the first half of 2022 explained by:
- a clear €5 billion improvement in other financial income and expenses, mainly thanks to the good performance by the dedicated asset portfolio: its 5.5% return reflects trends on the financial markets in the first half of 2023 (vs -8.9% in H1 2022);
- a €2.5 billion increase in the cost of unwinding the discount, principally owing to stability in the real discount rate applied for nuclear provisions in first-half 2023 after the positive impact of a 30bp rate increase in first-half 2022;
- a €1.1 billion rise in the cost of gross financial indebtedness in a period of significant interest rate increases, and a volume effect related to financial debt, which is expected to stabilise in 2023.
The financial result excluding non-recurring items, particularly the change in fair value of the dedicated asset portfolio, was -€2.9 billion, a decrease of €3.5 billion.
The Group’s net income excluding non-recurring items stood at €6.3 billion. The €7.6 billion increase reflects the strong growth in EBITDA, mitigated by the lower financial result excluding non-recurring items, and income tax expense (an income tax credit was booked in the first half of 2023).
EDF net income totalled €5.8 billion, up by €11.1 billion year on year. In addition to the substantially higher net income excluding non-recurring items, this increase is explained by the following items after tax:
- the change in the fair value of financial instruments: €3.5 billion;
- an exceptional expense following the interim agreements between Engie and the Belgian government on the transfer of back-end cycle obligations: -€0.2 billion;
- a provision for contingencies relating to the renegotiation of an amendment to the processing and recycling contract with Orano: -€0.8 billion.
- Cash flow
- Cash flow
Group cash flow for the first half of 2023 amounted to -€1.6 billion. The €2.4 billion improvement compared to the first half of 2022 was well below the €13.4 billion increase in EBITDA and the €18.8 billion increase in cash EBITDA, as a result of the deterioration in working capital:
- During the first half of 2022, working capital improved by €6.8 billion thanks to reversals of high underlying positions in the trading activity following rising volatility in 2021, and surplus CSPE compensation in a high market price environment.
- In the first half of 2023, in contrast, working capital deteriorated by €8 billion, including €4.3 billion attributable to the trading activity in a context of decreasing volatility, and €3.3 billion due to the CSPE compensation shortfall of the receivable generated by France’s tariff cap by less revenues from the purchase obligation in a context of lower prices.
Net investments in the first half of 2023 reached €9.1 billion, up slightly by €0.7 billion due notably to the HPC project, extensive maintenance work on the nuclear fleet, and growth in network activities.
- Net financial debt
The Group’s net financial debt (1) totalled €64.8 billion at 30 June 2023, in line with the objective of stabilisation and showing a slight increase of €0.3 billion since the end of 2022(2). The negative cash flow was offset by the €2.4 billion conversion of OCEANE bonds that reinforced EDF’s equity.
Also, the bond issues of first-half 2023 and the lower level of short-term debt lengthened the maturity of the Group’s debt to 10.5 years at 30 June 2023 (vs. 9.4 years at 31 December 2022).
Financial results by segment:
Segment sales are presented before elimination of inter-segment operations.
- France - Generation and supply
| (in millions of euros) | H1 2022 | H1 2023 | Organic change |
| Sales | 23,762 | 34,622 | 45.7% |
| EBITDA | -4,988 | 8,641 | n.a. |
The significant increase in EBITDA is explained by the following factors:
- It was boosted by a favourable price effect estimated at €10 billion, as France’s tariff cap for 2023 has no significant impact in EBITDA.
- In 2022, exceptional regulatory measures introduced by the French government to limit rises in sales prices to consumers during the year had an adverse effect in EBITDA estimated at -€6.2 billion.
- Operating expenses were up by €0.6 billion in a context of inflation in 2023.
- France - Regulated activities (3)
| (in millions of euros) | H1 2022 | H1 2023 | Organic change |
| Sales | 9,578 | 9,978 | 4.2% |
| EBITDA | 3,171 | 1,176 | -62.9% |
| Including Enedis | 2,683 | 763 | -71.6% |
The decrease in EBITDA is principally explained by a negative price effect estimated at -€1.8 billion caused by purchases of network losses being made at very high market prices. However, changes in the TURPE network access tariff had a favourable effect estimated at €0.3 billion (4).
The 10.9TWh decline in volumes distributed (excluding the climate effect), comprising -5.1TWh in the business market and -5.8TWh in the residential market, had a negative impact in EBITDA estimated at €0.3 billion.
Enedis has become a “entreprise à mission” and added its raison d’être to its bylaws: “Acting for an innovative, effective, supportive public electricity distribution service. Connecting society to the collective challenge of building a sustainable world”.
EDF Renewables - Renewable Energies
Group renewables excluding hydropower in France
| (in millions of euros) | H1 2022 | H1 2023 | Organic change |
| Sales | 1,796 | 1,705 | -0.6% |
| EBITDA | 723 | 763 | 4.1% |
| Net investments | -1,483 | -1,375 | -7% |
The rise in EBITDA is explained by higher output thanks to new capacities installed. However, wind conditions, which were favourable in Belgium but unfavourable in the United Kingdom and the United States, led to a downturn in the EBITDA.
Investments were down, particularly in the United States.
EDF Renewables
| (in millions of euros) | H1 2022 | H1 2023 | Organic change |
| Sales | 1,051 | 985 | 1.9% |
| EBITDA | 500 | 433 | -14.6% |
| Including EBITDA for generation | 653 | 593 | -7.6% |
The downturn in EBITDA for generation was caused by operating expenses in the first half of 2023 that had no equivalent in the first half of 2022. Output volumes nonetheless increased by 5.6% thanks to the commissioning of new plants in 2022.
Development expenses associated with growth in the project portfolio also increased in a context of inflation.
In France, the first floating platform for the Provence Grand Large wind turbines has been launched and the first offshore wind turbine at Fécamp has been installed.
Dalkia - Energy Services
Group Energy Services (5)
| (in millions of euros) | H1 2022 | H1 2023 | Organic change |
| Sales | 4,122 | 4,506 | 8.3% |
| EBITDA | 234 | 291 | 19.2% |
| Net investments | -148 | -164 | 10.8% |
All the service activities in France contributed to the increase in EBITDA.
The rise in investments mainly concerned Dalkia.
Dalkia
| (in millions of euros) | H1 2022 | H1 2023 | Organic change |
| Sales | 3,211 | 3,411 | 5.0% |
| EBITDA | 185 | 220 | 20.0% |
The rise in EBITDA is attributable to business activity in France and the operation of co-generation plants over the while of the first quarter in 2023 (in 2022 Dalkia was affected by an early shutdown of co-generation due to a shortened winter tariff period).
Inauguration of a low-carbon geothermal heat network in the Paris region powered 77% by renewable energies, avoiding 11,000 tonnes of carbon emissions per year.
- Framatome
| (in millions of euros) | H1 2022 | H1 2023 | Organic change |
| Sales | 1,977 | 1,959 | -3.1% |
| EBITDA | 321 | 307 | -6.2% |
| Contribution to EDF group EBITDA | 186 | 110 | -44.1% |
The lower contribution to EDF group EBITDA resulted from difficulties with an Instrumentation & Control contract in the United States, and a decline in fuel sales.
Order intake amounted to approximately €2.2 billion at 30 June 2023, a slight increase compared to 30 June 2022, notably attributable to the Installed Base business in North America.
United Kingdom
| (in millions of euros) | H1 2022 | H1 2023 | Organic change |
| Sales | 6,904 | 12,140 | 79.8% |
| EBITDA | 860 | 2,266 | 167.4% |
The rise in EBITDA is essentially explained by a recovery of margins in the supply business, driven mainly by allowances in the UK domestic default tariff cap allowing suppliers to recover costs incurred through the market turbulence of previous years.
Sales performance was sound, consolidating margins and market shares in the small and medium business segment, as well as in the Generation business where the higher realised nuclear prices were partially counterbalanced by lower power output following the shutdown of Hinkley Point B in August 2022, and a busier maintenance programme in the first half of 2023.
- Italy
| (in millions of euros) | H1 2022 | H1 2023 | Organic change |
| Sales | 13,017 | 9,543 | -27.3% |
| EBITDA | 622 | 828 | 30.2% |
The increase in EBITDA is primarily explained by the sales activity’s return to positive margins for residential electricity customers, after the losses of 2022.
In the electricity generation activities, the unfavourable price effect related to thermal plants, despite the positive contribution of the capacity market, was partly offset by the positive price effect related to renewable energies.
Finally, the gas business benefited from portfolio optimisation and more favourable prices.
Renewable capacities totalled 606MW net (6) at end-June 2023.
The Marghera Levante 780MW CCGT plant was inaugurated. This plant produces 30% less carbon emissions than the average for Italian thermal plants and has the technological ability to run on up to 50% hydrogen.
- Other international
| (in millions of euros) | H1 2022 | H1 2023 | Organic change |
| Sales | 2,585 | 3,099 | 19.2% |
| EBITDA | 291 | 508 | 73.5% |
| Including: - Belgium | 179 | 408 | 127.4% |
| - Brazil | 114 | 107 | -7.0% |
The rise in EBITDA in Belgium (7) is due to increased output of wind power (+15.1%), hydropower (+17.4%) and nuclear power (+5.1%), and a favourable price effect.
Wind power capacities totalled 620MW net (8) at end-June 2023.
In Brazil, EBITDA was down slightly due to the downturn in system services.
Reservoir impoundment has begun at the Nachtigal dam in Cameroon (420MW) and EDF in consortium was selected to develop the Mphanda Nkuwa dam in Mozambique (1.5GW).
- Other activities
| (in millions of euros) | H1 2022 | H1 2023 | Organic change |
| Sales | 7,697 | 4,655 | -37.6% |
| EBITDA | 1,845 | 1,924 | 6.7% |
| Including: - gas activities | 20 | 7 | -65.0% |
| - EDF Trading | 1,749 | 1,866 | 9.5% |
EBITDA for the gas activities decreased slightly. Volumes sold were down, due to the lower level of business at the Dunkirk terminal, after an exceptional year in 2022 with very high prices on the wholesale markets. The downturn was limited by purchases of LNG at lower prices in first-half 2023 than first-half 2022.
Despite the drop in prices and volatility on the wholesale markets compared to last year, EDF Trading’s EBITDA for the first-half 2023 is up vs. 2022. The performance of trading and optimisation activities remains strong, in a context of reduced market and counterparty risks.
