ROMA (ITALPRESS) – Enel closes the first 9 months with revenues of 65,022 million, up 5,320 million (+8.9%) compared to the same period of 2025. The change is mainly due to the increased revenues from distribution activities in Latin America and Spain. They also contributed higher electricity sales on the wholesale market in Europe, as well as the growth of revenues from renewable sources, mainly supported by performance in Colombia. These positive variations have more than offset the negative effects, recorded in Italy, resulting from the lower average prices applied to residential customers and small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as from the lower generation from water source for the reduction of water availability. The ordinary gross operating margin amounted to 17.946 million, an increase of 684 million compared to the nine months of 2025 (+4.0%). The operating result amounted to 11.691 million, an increase of 767 million (+7.0%) compared to the same period of the previous year. The ordinary net result of the Group amounted to 6,018 million, an increase of 315 million compared to the nine months of 2025 (+6%).
The increase is attributable to the positive trend of operating management that has more than offset the increase of net financial burdens relating to increasing investments and the greater profit of the interest of third parties connected with the greater contribution to the overall results by foreign companies. The balance sheet at 30 September 2026 shows a net invested capital of EUR 116.359 million (103.987 million at 31 December 2025), a net financial debt of EUR 66.158 million (57.182 million at 31 December 2025), not including net financial indebtedness relating to “businesses classified as holdings for sale” amounting to EUR 386 million (382 million at 31 December 2025). Investment amounted to 8.140 million in the nine months of 2026, an increase of 1.304 million compared to the nine months of 2025 (+19.1%). Electricity sales amounted to 178.3 TWh, with a decrease of 9,8 TWh (-5.2%) compared to the same period of the previous year.
Natural gas sales amounted to 2.9 billion cubic metres, down 0.4 billion cubic metres compared to the same period of the previous year (-9.3%). In the nine months the Group’s consolidated net efficient power amounted to 86.9 GW1, substantially in line with the figure recorded at the end of 2025 (87.0 GW). The net energy produced by the Enel Group in the nine months of 2026 is equal to 146,82 TWh1, with an increase of 5,67 TWh compared to the nine months of 2025 (+4.0%); net of the effects of the cessation of the concession of the hydroelectric plant of El Chocón in Argentina, the production is rising of 7,56 TWh (+5.4%). In the light of the solid performance of the nine months, the guidance given to the financial markets is confirmed: in 2026, the Group provides an ordinary net profit per share (EPS) to approximately 0,74 euros, corresponding to the upper part of the range of guidance. The Board has deliberated the distribution of a deposit on the dividend to measure pairs to 0.245 euros per share, with an increment of 7% regarding the deposit on the dividend for the exercise 2025, which will be placed in payment from 20 January 2027.
