At its meeting of 25 July 2024, chaired by Luc Rémont, EDF’s Board of Directors approved the consolidated financial statements at 30 June 2024. Luc Rémont, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of EDF, said: “The rise in our operational and financial results in the first half of 2024 reflects the hard work put in by all EDF’s teams to bring us back to high production levels. It also confirms our ability to supply competitive low carbon electricity on demand, so that consumers can feel fully confident about making the move to electrified uses. Against a backdrop of a rapid and sustained fall in market prices, EDF is rolling out its new “Ambitions 2035” plan to attain the levels of performance and investment needed for the electric revolution.” Outlook for 2024 EBITDA is expected to be down from 2023 due to the rapid drop in market prices Nuclear power output in France is expected to be in the upper end of the 315-345TWh range (4) 2026 targets (9) Net financial debt / EBITDA: ≤ 2.5x Adjusted economic debt / Adjusted EBITDA (10): ≤ 4x |

| Other activities | 1,924 | 1,213 | -37.0% |
| Group total | 16,106 | 18,688 | +15.7% |
The almost €2.6 billion increase in EBITDA to €18.7 billion is explained by a good operational performance, leading to an increase in nuclear and hydropower output in France, despite a rapid market price downturn has already begun. Services and renewables activities in the rest of Europe also contributed to this rise in EBITDA.
In the second half of the year, the declining market prices will result in a significantly lower H2 EBITDA in 2024 than in 2023.
- Financial result
The financial result is an expense of €13 million, a clear €1.5 billion improvement compared to the first half of 2023, driven by:
- a good performance by the dedicated asset portfolio, which achieved a return of 5.5% (as in first-half 2023) thanks to favourable developments on the financial markets, particularly the equity markets, contributing to a €1 billion improvement in other financial income and expenses (limited impact on cash);
- a €0.7 billion decrease in the cost of unwinding the discount, principally relating to the 0.10% increase in the real discount rate applied for nuclear provisions in France in 2024 whereas the rate was stable in the first half of 2023 (no cash impact);
- a €0.2 billion increase in the cost of gross financial debt, moderated by active management of debt in a context of rising interest rates (cash impact of -€0.3 billion).
The financial result excluding non-recurring items, particularly the change in fair value of the dedicated asset portfolio, is -€1.7 billion, up by €1.3 billion.
- Net income
Net income excluding non-recurring items amounts to €8.4 billion. The €2.1 billion increase primarily reflects the significant growth in EBITDA, less the tax expense.
The Group’s net income is €7.0 billion, up by nearly €1.2 billion year on year. Apart from the substantial increase in net income excluding non-recurring items, the principal items after tax contributing to this increase are:
- the new forecast cost estimate for spent fuel storage in France: €2.4 billion,
- the change in fair value of financial instruments: €0.4 billion,
- a provision relating to renegotiation of an amendment to the processing and recycling agreement with Orano: -€0.8 billion in 2023, no equivalent in 2024.
- Cash flow
- Cash flow
Group cash flow for the first half of 2024 amounts to €1.9 billion vs. -€1.6 billion in H1 2023. This is explained by a cash EBITDA of €17.6 billion, generated by a good operational performance despite falling market prices.
Working capital rose by €0.7 billion, comprising:
- €3.8 billion resulting essentially from the higher CSPE receivable, as lower market prices led to higher support for renewable energy producers,
- -€3.8 billion due to the effect of the price downturn on trade receivables in France,
- the neutral impact of the optimisation/trading activity.
This cash flow funded net investments of €11.1 billion, €1.9 billion more than in first-half 2023 due notably to new nuclear projects including Hinkley Point C, network development and reinforcement and nuclear fleet maintenance. The acquisition of the nuclear activities of GE Steam Power (Arabelle Solutions) and Assystem’s 5% stake in Framatome also had a €0.9 billion effect on the rise in investments.
- Net financial debt (2)
Net financial debt stands at €54.2 billion, stable compared to end-2023. The favourable impact of the positive cash flow was almost fully absorbed by the announcement that the hybrid bond issued in October 2018 for a nominal amount of €1.25 billion would be redeemed and its equity content replaced by the capital increase resulting from the conversion of the Oceane bonds in 2023 (3).
The bond issues during the first half of 2024, totalling around €5.5 billion, the lower level of short-term debt, and early repayments of bank loans lengthened the maturity of the Group’s financial debt to 12.1 years at end-June 2024 (vs. 11 years at end-2023), and made it possible to control financing costs in a time of rising interest rates.
Financial results by segment:
Segment sales are presented before elimination of inter-segment operations.
- France - Generation and supply
| (in millions of euros) | H1 2023 | H1 2024 | Organic change |
| Sales | 34,622 | 26,244 | -24.2% |
| EBITDA | 8,641 | 10,311 | +19.3% |
The increase in EBITDA is explained by higher output of nuclear power and hydropower, which had a favourable effect estimated at €1.5 billion and €0.8 billion respectively.
The decline in sale prices had an estimated impact of -€8.1 billion. This effect is largely explained by the change in the average forward market prices in the past 2 years: €178/MWh in 2024 vs. €218/MWh in 2023, and in the ARENH cropping price: €102/MWh in 2024 vs. €410/MWh in 2023.
Falling market prices affecting net purchases in a context of higher nuclear output had a positive effect estimated at €7.8 billion; this effect should be very limited in the second half of the year.
- France - Regulated activities (4)
| (in millions of euros) | H1 2023 | H1 2024 | Organic change |
| Sales | 9,978 | 10,467 | +4.9% |
| EBITDA | 1,176 | 2,822 | +140.0% |
| Including Enedis | 763 | 2,311 | +203% |
The increase in EBITDA is principally explained by a positive price effect estimated at €1.9 billion, caused by purchases to cover network losses made at lower market prices than in 2023 (€1.3 billion) and changes in the TURPE network access tariff (5) (€0.5 billion).
The 0.6TWh decline in volumes distributed excluding weather effects had a limited impact on EBITDA.
- EDF Renewables - Renewable Energies
Group Renewables excluding hydropower in France
| (in millions of euros) | H1 2023 | H1 2024 | Organic change |
| Sales | 1,705 | 2,142 | +7.3% |
| EBITDA | 763 | 1,066 | +31.6% |
Contribution by EDF Renewables
| (in millions of euros) | H1 2023 | H1 2024 | Organic change |
| Sales | 985 | 1,020 | +3.4% |
| EBITDA | 433 | 574 | +32.6% |
| Including EBITDA for generation | 593 | 627 | +5.7% |
The increase in EBITDA for Group Renewables is attributable to a 13.1% increase in wind and solar power output thanks to new installed capacities that brought total net capacity to 15.3GW at 30 June 2024. In Italy and Belgium, hydropower output also rose substantially due to better hydrological conditions.
At EDF Renewables, EBITDA for generation progressed due to 9.7% growth in volume output following the commissioning of new plants, despite less favourable wind and sunshine conditions in France, and a downturn in prices. The rise in EBITDA is also explained by portfolio rotation, notably involving sales of plants in the United States and Brazil.
- Dalkia - Energy Services
Group Energy Services (6)
| (in millions of euros) | H1 2023 | H1 2024 | Organic change |
| Sales | 4,506 | 4,044 | -8.2% |
| EBITDA | 291 | 307 | +4.8% |
Contribution by Dalkia
| (in millions of euros) | H1 2023 | H1 2024 | Organic change |
| Sales | 3,411 | 2,943 | -12.6% |
| EBITDA | 220 | 230 | +5.0% |
The service activities of Dalkia and IZI Confort in France contributed to the increase in EBITDA for Group Energy Services.
At Dalkia, the rise in EBITDA is attributable to the business performance, particularly in energy efficiency services and decarbonisation in France. However, sales of electricity from cogeneration plants were down compared to the first half of 2023.
- Industry and Services (7)
| (in millions of euros) | H1 2023 | H1 2024 | Organic change |
| Sales | 1,959 | 2,191 | +10.1% |
| EBITDA (Framatome) | 307 | 326 | +7.2% |
| Contribution (Framatome) to EDF group EBITDA | 110 | 101 | -5.5% |
New nuclear projects in France and the United Kingdom explain the increase in EBITDA.
Order intake amounts to approximately €15.2 billion at 30 June 2024, well above end-2023, largely due to new nuclear projects in France and the United Kingdom, particularly the Sizewell C project.
Together with TechnicAtome, Framatome acquired Vanatome (Daher Valves) which specialises in the design, production and qualification of a wide range of valves for the nuclear and defence sectors.
- United Kingdom
| (in millions of euros) | H1 2023 | H1 2024 | Organic change |
| Sales | 12,140 | 9,048 | -28.1% |
| EBITDA | 2,266 | 1,989 | -15.2% |
The decrease in EBITDA is explained in particular by lower margins in the domestic and small business customer segments, as the first half of 2023 benefited from an exceptional recovery of some of the costs incurred during the energy crisis.
Operational performance was strong for the generation business, with a limited -0.1TWh downturn in nuclear power output to 18.1TWh despite unplanned outages at Heysham 1 and Hartlepool. The impact of these outages was largely offset by optimisation of scheduled outages and higher realised nuclear prices.
- Italy
| (in millions of euros) | H1 2023 | H1 2024 | Organic change |
| Sales | 9,543 | 7,168 | -24.8% |
| EBITDA | 828 | 993 | +21.5% |
The increase in EBITDA in the electricity generation business was driven by the growth in renewables activities, especially a rise in hydropower thanks to exceptionally good hydrological conditions.
The gas business has benefited from good optimisation performances on the portfolio of long-term gas contracts.
In the sales activities, customer portfolio growth explains the improvement in EBITDA.
Wind and solar power capacities totalled 669MW net (8) at 30 June 2024.
- Other international
| (in millions of euros) | H1 2023 | H1 2024 | Organic change |
| Sales | 3,099 | 2,307 | -26.0% |
| EBITDA | 508 | 455 | -10.8% |
| Including: - Belgium | 408 | 352 | -14.2% |
| - Brazil | 107 | 104 | -2.8% |
The lower EBITDA in Belgium (9) is essentially explained by falling prices, despite better nuclear power output (+11%), after a year 2023 affected by the Chooz power plant shutdown, and higher hydropower output (+32%). Also, cost increases for nuclear waste were reinvoiced in 2023, and this had no equivalent in 2024.
Wind power capacities totalled 635MW net (10) at 30 June 2024.
In Brazil, EBITDA was down slightly due to the -4% indexed adjustment to the Power Purchase Agreement attached to EDF’s Norte Fluminense plant in November 2023, despite an increase in revenues from system services.
- Other activities
| (in millions of euros) | H1 2023 | H1 2024 | Organic change |
| Sales | 4,655 | 2,730 | -41.4% |
| EBITDA | 1,924 | 1,213 | -37.0% |
| Including: - gas activities | 7 | 278 | x38.7 |
| - EDF Trading | 1,866 | 885 | -52.6% |
The increase in EBITDA for the gas activities is explained by improved margins on the Group’s assets in gas storage activities and sale of gas, despite the lower level of business at the Dunkirk terminal.
EDF Trading’s EBITDA decreased in a context of falling prices and volatility on the wholesale markets.
