Q & A Highlights <\/p>\n

Q: Do you need the agreement from the French government for the ABB? Can they block the deal? A: The financing plan has been approved by our board of directors. As for the participation of the state, you would need to ask them directly. The French government is represented on the board of directors. <\/p>\n

Q: Can you provide more details on the disposal plan and its impact on EBITDA? A: We have a history of successful disposals, with EUR 1.5 billion worth last year. We plan to dispose of assets where we don’t have full control, open up to minority stakes, and continue housekeeping of non-core activities. We don’t disclose specific EBITDA impacts, but using a proxy of usual EBIT conversion will give a high-side estimate. <\/p>\n

Q: What are the financial targets for 2028, and is there any conservatism in your targets? A: The disposal dilution assumes a 0.7 billion impact, reflecting high multiples for some assets. Performance contribution is set at 0.8 to 1 billion, which is still significant. The 300 million negative in “Other” accounts for various small adjustments. <\/p>\n

Q: Is your ambition for more power networks satisfied with this deal, or would you consider more acquisitions? A: We have a few years to digest the UK Power Networks acquisition. It’s a large, strategic move that allows us to focus on growth within this asset. We don’t expect to pursue additional power distribution acquisitions soon. <\/p>\n

Q: How do you plan to finance the acquisition of UK Power Networks? A: We will finance the acquisition with a balanced mix of debt and hybrid new issuance, alongside a $4 billion disposal program by 2028. We also plan to raise up to $3 billion of equity through an accelerated book building. <\/p>\n

Q: Can you elaborate on the potential synergies from the UK Power Networks acquisition? A: Given the regulated nature of the business, we expect limited synergies, mainly in IT, insurance, and procurement. The acquisition will help us develop expertise in distribution, which could be leveraged in other regions over time. <\/p>\n

Q: What is your strategy for data centers, and how do you plan to extract value from this sector? A: Our strategy involves co-siting data centers with our renewable assets, enabling new renewable projects, and providing sophisticated energy management services. We aim to create value through margin uplift, risk management, and energy management services, without investing directly in data centers. <\/p>\n

Q: How do you see your risk profile and leverage evolving with this acquisition? A: Our risk profile is improving, allowing for more balance sheet flexibility. We remain committed to a strong investment-grade rating, and while we may use some flexibility, we do not plan to change our 4x net debt to EBITDA ceiling. <\/p>\n
