At its meeting of 30 July 2026 chaired by Bernard Fontana, EDF’s Board of Directors approved the consolidated half-year financial statements at 30 June 2026.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of EDF Bernard Fontana said: “The operational and financial results for the first half of 2026 are as anticipated. They reflect the Group’s mobilisation for customer satisfaction, electrification of uses and sustainably enhanced operational performance, with a rise in output, particularly of nuclear generation in France which was up by 8TWh this half-year. For our 80th anniversary we are allocating \u20ac350 M to accelerate electrification in homes and buildings, transport, and industry. EDF’s drive to make low-carbon solutions more widely accessible and support industrial and regional electrification projects is making a practical contribution to competitivity, sovereignty and decarbonisation for our economy. We are investing in our industrial facilities and stepping up the rollout of our climate change adaptation plan, while continuing to develop personnel skills and training. All these actions are moving forward with a constant focus on operational performance and the company’s financial trajectory. My thanks go out to all the teams in the Group, and our partners, for their dedication. We are proud to be part of EDF’s 80-year history and are fully committed for the decades to come.” <\/p>\n

Outlook
2026 EBITDA expected to decrease by around 10 % vs. 2025 in an environment notably marked by lower market price and heatwaves.
Nuclear power output in France estimated at 350-370TWh for 2026 and 2027, and 345-375TWh for 2028, with target generation potential of over 400TWh. <\/p>\n

2027 targets confirmed (1)
Net Financial Debt \/ EBITDA: \u2264 2.5x
Adjusted economic debt \/ adjusted EBITDA (2): \u2264 4x <\/p>\n

Financial results <\/p>\n

EBITDA stands at \u20ac14.1 bn vs. \u20ac15.5 bn in H1 2025 in a period of falling market prices and a robust operational performance, including higher nuclear output in France. <\/p>\n

The financial result is up by \u20ac1.5 bn to \u20ac0.2 bn due to: <\/p>\n

the stronger performance by the dedicated asset portfolio (5.9% vs. 1.9% in H1\u00a02025) sustained by more favourable equity markets in 2026 (estimated impact of +\u20ac1.7 bn); <\/p>\n

active debt management, stabilising the cost of gross financial debt at \u20ac1.7 bn. <\/p>\n

Net income excluding non-recurring items is \u20ac4.0 bn vs. \u20ac5.5 bn in H1\u00a02025, principally due to the lower EBITDA. <\/p>\n

The Group’s share of net income is \u20ac5.2 bn vs \u20ac5.5 bn in H1\u00a02025, mainly reflecting the after-tax change of \u20ac1.1 bn in the fair value of financial instruments (essentially dedicated assets) which is classified as a non-recurring item. <\/p>\n

The operating cash flow of \u20ac2.6 bn essentially results from cash generated by the regulated and unregulated activities in France.
Working capital requirement is down by \u20ac2.5 bn, mainly as a result of: <\/p>\n

a \u20ac3.0 bn improvement reflecting the seasonal decrease in trade receivables (in volume and price); <\/p>\n

a \u20ac0.6 bn decline relating to a shortfall in compensation for charges under the CSPE mechanism. <\/p>\n

Net investments total \u20ac11.4 bn, stable compared to H1\u00a02025. Investments principally concerned the Grand Car\u00e9nage industrial refurbishment programme to extend the French reactors’ lifespans and climate events resilience, the Hinkley Point C project and the EPR2 programme, plus network expansion and climate change adaptation. <\/p>\n

Cash flow amounts to \u20ac1.1 bn vs. \u20ac4.3 bn in H1\u00a02025, when EDF distributed a share premium of \u20ac2\u00a0bn to the French State. The \u20ac1\u00a0bn dividend for the year 2025 was paid on 30 July 2026. <\/p>\n

Net financial debt stands at \u20ac51.5 bn, stable vs. end-2025. EDF issued more than \u20ac5.1\u00a0bn of bonds during H1 2026, including \u20ac2.75\u00a0bn of green bonds to finance extension of nuclear reactor lifespans in France and the Hinkley Point\u00a0C project. <\/p>\n

Operational performance and highlights <\/p>\n

The EDF group is supporting customer electrification: <\/p>\n

For its 80th anniversary, EDF has reinforced its commitment to electrification, investing \u20ac350\u00a0M to accelerate electrification of uses with a focus on 3 key pillars: homes and buildings, for easier access to low-carbon heating and cooling solutions; transport, for heavy transport’s transition to electricity; and industry, for faster installation of new consumers and faster electrification of industrial processes. <\/p>\n

A range of electricity contracts suitable for all types of use <\/p>\n

Long-term contracts for up to 21TWh a year signed at end-June, as well as the amendment with Exeltium, <\/p>\n

Launch of the Zen Estival market-price contract for residential customers offering 7 hours of super-off-peak power per day in summer <\/p>\n

Dalkia, a force for electrification and low-carbon heat <\/p>\n

Winner of an EU call for projects for 13 industrial electric heat supply systems <\/p>\n

New heat network concessions secured, including the Paris district heating concession (5TWh a year) as a member of a consortium and 3 projects involving deep geothermal energy <\/p>\n

A step up in energy services <\/p>\n

Launch of 2 energy service subsidiaries: IZI by EDF for residential customers, and EDF business services for companies and local authorities <\/p>\n

Nearly 430,000 electric vehicle charging points installed or managed at end-June 2026 <\/p>\n

Installation support for datacentres <\/p>\n

Calls for expressions of interest issued for the installation of datacentres at 6 EDF sites covering total capacity of over 2GW at end-July 2026, including 500MW for Creys-M\u00e9pieu (call launched on 3\u00a0July 2026) <\/p>\n

Power generation and sovereignty: <\/p>\n

Nuclear power output up by 4.2TWh to 206.5TWh thanks to the 8TWh increase in French nuclear generation. This reflects the good availability of reactors in operation, well-managed reactor outages, and continued high modulation (13.3TWh (4)). <\/p>\n

Hydropower output stable at 26TWh (5) thanks to good plant availability. <\/p>\n

Wind and solar power output up by 6% to 17TWh, largely due to new installed capacities and more favourable wind conditions. <\/p>\n

The portfolio of wind, solar and hydro projects stands at almost 114GW gross. <\/p>\n

With its 95% carbon-free electricity output, EDF has one of the lowest carbon intensities in the world at 26.5gCO2\/kWh, including 4.1gCO2\/kWh for EDF SA in mainland France. Low-carbon power generation contributed to France’s record exports of 51TWh. <\/p>\n

Action for a secure supply chain <\/p>\n

Acquisition by Framatome of Sebim (former Trillium Flow Technologies), a specialist designer and producer of safety valves for the nuclear fleet and new nuclear projects <\/p>\n

Conversion of Framatome’s Jeumont plant to handle serial production of critical equipment for the future EPR2s <\/p>\n

Announcement of a new dedicated Arabelle Solutions plant specifically to make parts for the EPR2 programme<\/p>\n

Ongoing development of low-carbon projects: <\/p>\n

Climate change adaptation <\/p>\n

Networks that actively serve the energy transition: <\/p>\n

Connections by Enedis (6):\u00a06,000 points of delivery, serving 260,000 electric vehicle charging points, over 60,000 renewable energy installations (3.4GW), and 6GW for consumers (vs. 4.5GW in H1 2025) <\/p>\n

Connection times halved compared to 2023 in French overseas territories and Corsica, with good customer satisfaction <\/p>\n

Network quality: the average duration of power cuts at Enedis (excluding exceptional events – B\u00a0HIX criterion) has improved slightly to 30 minutes. <\/p>\n

10 minutes shaved off the average outage time vs H1 2025 in French overseas territories and Corsica, to 130 minutes (excluding exceptional events – B HIX criterion), thanks to a proactive investment policy <\/p>\n

EDF is meeting growing needs for flexibility in the electricity system: <\/p>\n

Increasing production flexibility: pumped-storage hydro output up by 14%, modulation potential up by 9.3GW in renewables subject to purchase obligations <\/p>\n

Rolling out flexibility offerings for customers: +19% of controllable EV charging points <\/p>\n

Expansion of storage facilities: commissioning of new installations has accelerated, including the Stockage Energie Catalan project combining battery storage (20MW) with run-of-river hydropower (8MW), and the launch of Corsica’s first pumped-storage hydropower plant (30MW) <\/p>\n

Reinforcing island energy autonomy: repowering of the Sainte Rose wind farm on R\u00e9union island has multiplied power output sixfold, with coupling to a battery storage system (4.6MW) <\/p>\n

EBITDA is down due to lower market prices (-\u20ac1.0\u00a0bn).
The 8TWh increase in nuclear output made a slight contribution (\u20ac0.4\u00a0bn) to EBITDA; this effect is partly offset by the decline in hydropower output (-\u20ac0.1 bn).
The tax on Basic Nuclear Installations for 2026 was also higher, by \u20ac0.6 bn. <\/p>\n

The increase in EBITDA for EDF power solutions SA is primarily explained by portfolio turnover, particularly given the significant disposals of power plants in the United States, and higher output.
The forthcoming sale of EDF power solutions’ operations in the United States and Canada has been announced, for an equity value of approximately $4.2\u00a0bn, plus price supplements of up to $0.39 bn. <\/p>\n

In Belgium, the slight downturn in EBITDA is explained by a lower level of nuclear power output, reflecting scheduled outages for 3 reactors and the permanent shutdown of Tihange 1, counterbalanced by good optimisation of balancing costs. <\/p>\n

The decline in EBITDA is explained by the 1.7TWh decrease in nuclear power output due to a larger number of unscheduled outages, and the impact of lower market prices on realised nuclear prices. <\/p>\n

To extend the lifespan of the Sizewell B reactor from 2035 to 2055, an agreement was signed with the UK government on the terms of a Contract for Difference covering that period at the strike price of \u00a370.50\/MWh (in 2025 prices). EDF plans to invest \u00a3800 million by 2035 to implement this extension. <\/p>\n

The decrease in EBITDA in Italy is attributable to the electricity generation business, particularly a substantial downturn in hydropower output due to low rainfall. <\/p>\n

In the sales businesses, margins declined in a context of regulatory and competitive pressures. <\/p>\n

In the gas businesses, margins were slightly lower, as the effect of Qatar Energy’s force majeure notices concerning their deliveries since early April was partly compensated by gas deliveries from other suppliers. <\/p>\n

The decrease in EBITDA for the gas activities is explained by operations in 2025 that had no equivalent in 2026, particularly optimisation of positions taken in the contract with the Dunkirk terminal. <\/p>\n

With the end of the ARENH mechanism, the significant increase in gas prices and the volatility resulting from the Middle East conflict, EDF Trading registered sustained business levels and its EBITDA is higher than in H1 2025. <\/p>\n
