Highlights

Intention of the French State to file a simplified public tender offer for EDF’s shares(3)

 

  • Objective: to acquire 15.9%(4) of EDF’s capital, as well as the 60% of the OCEANE bonds that the State does not hold. Proposed price: €12.0 per EDF share (with dividend rights attached) and €15.64 per OCEANE
  • Mandatory delisting(5) if the implementation conditions are met
  • Total amount of the offer: approximately €9.7 billion
  • Set up by EDF’s Board of Directors of an ad hoc committee tasked with issuing a recommendation to the Board of Directors on the interest of the offer for the Company, the shareholders and the holders of the OCEANE bonds(6)
  • Appointment of an independent expert by the Board upon the ad hoc committee’s proposal
  • Offer to be filed with the French Financial Markets Authority (the “AMF”) subject to enactment of a 2022 Supplementary Budget Bill

 

 

Stress corrosion (SC) phenomenon (7)

 

  • The French Nuclear Safety Authority has assessed the overall strategy submitted by EDF as appropriate
  • All the reactors will be inspected by 2025 as part of the already scheduled outages, with priority given to the most sensitive reactors (four N4 reactors and twelve of the 1,300MW reactors). The thirty-two 900MW reactors and eight of the 1,300MW reactors have piping lines with low or very low sensitivity to stress corrosion
  • Continued development of processes for carrying out enhanced non-destructive examinations

 

 

War in Ukraine

 

  • Increased market prices and volatility: extreme tensions on the electricity market in a context of lower nuclear output in 2022, requiring significant purchases on the market
  • Supply disruptions and inflation on components and commodities create delays on some activities and major projects
  • Limited impact on gas and uranium supply: one single Edison gas contract with a European subsidiary of a Russian company (accounting for 4% of the Group’s supply and terminating by end of 2022) and low dependence on uranium imports from Russia, given the current level of stocks and the diversified long-term supply contracts (20 years)
  • International sanctions: to date, no exposure to Russian companies, banks or individuals affected by international sanctions. Closure of the Moscow office
  • Impacts on financial markets: decline in the value of the listed assets portfolio of the Dedicated Assets (inflation, recession risk and increase in interest rates) and decrease in the present value of nuclear provisions (increase in the real discount rate(8). Overall, the coverage ratio(9) was 105.3% at end-June 2022 (compared to 109.3% at the end of 2021)

 

 

Environmental and societal success

 

  • Adoption by 99.87% at the Shareholders’ Meeting of the climate transition plan to contribute to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050
  • 84% of credit lines indexed on ESG KPIs, i.e. a total of €10 billion(10)
  • EDF, the first large French group to publish its impact score(11): 68/100, above the average score of other companies(12)
  • EDF SA’s attractiveness confirmed by survey rankings(13)

 

 

Inclusion of nuclear power in the European Taxonomy(14) 

 

  • Final decisions of the European Council and Parliament on the inclusion notably of nuclear power in the Taxonomy. The recognition of the nuclear role is in line with the position of IPCC, the IEA and many countries
  • New Green Financing Framework(15) aligned with the European Taxonomy including nuclear projects.

 

 

New nuclear

 

  • Hinkley Point C:
    • Review of schedule and costs, start of power generation of unit 1 targeted for June 2027, estimated completion costs of the project between £201525 and 26 billion(16)
    • Unit 1 reactor vessel head built
  • Sizewell C : obtention of the Development Consent Order (DCO) by the British government
  • SMR NUWARD™: design submitted to a pre-assessment led by the ASN, in collaboration with the Czech and Finnish safety authorities for the purpose of international harmonisation of safety standards

At its meeting of 27 July 2022, presided by Jean-Bernard Lévy, EDF’s Board of Directors approved the consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2022.

Jean-Bernard Lévy, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of EDF stated:

“The results for the first half of the year reflect the difficulties encountered in nuclear generation in France and, to a lesser extent, in hydropower generation, as well as the effect of the tariff shield introduced in France in 2022.
The operating results of the Group’s other businesses, however, are growing strongly for the most part, particularly as a result of higher and more volatile wholesale prices in Europe. Investments are continuing at a steady pace in order to further strengthen the group’s position as a champion of decarbonisation, on the basis of energy efficiency, nuclear generation and renewable generation. Commercial performance was very good, reflecting the relevance of the offers and the quality of EDF’s relationship with all categories of customers. Despite the strong pressure, all EDF group’s teams are demonstrating a remarkable resilience and a constant commitment to the energy transition.”

Total Group 10,601 2,672 -74.8 -75.0

Despite a significant increase in sales, supported by electricity and gas prices, EBITDA was down significantly in the first half of 2022. This change in EBITDA is mainly explained by the drop in nuclear output linked to the phenomenon of stress corrosion, by the impact of the exceptional regulatory measures adopted by the French government to limit the increase in prices to consumers in 2022 and, to a lesser extent, by the decline in hydropower output. These events have forced the Group to purchase electricity in a context of high market prices. On the other hand, EBITDA benefited from the exceptional performance of EDF Trading, which grew in a context of high market volatility and from better nuclear output in the United Kingdom.


Operational performance

Nuclear output in France amounted to 154.1TWh, i.e. 27.6TWh less than over the same period in 2021, due to lower availability of the nuclear fleet, because of the impact of the discovery of indications of stress corrosion despite fewer unplanned outages and the optimisation of the schedule.

Hydropower output in France amounted to 18.9TWh(1), a decrease of 5.7TWh compared to the first half of 2021, due to historically low hydropower conditions.

In the United Kingdom, nuclear output amounted to 23.2TWh, up 2.3TWh compared to H1 2021, due to the smooth implementation of the unit outages, a less busy maintenance programme and despite the closure of Hunterston B in January 2022.

In Belgium, the improved availability of thermal power plants led to an increase in the ancillary system.

EDF Renewables’ output amounted to 10.8TWh (+2.0TWh), up 22.7% in organic terms, thanks to the new facilities commissioned in 2021 and 2022.

Net income

The financial result corresponds to a financial expense of €2,947 million, down €3,808 million compared to the first half of 2021. This change is mainly explained by:

  • a deterioration in other financial income and expenses of -€5,352 million, mainly due to a decrease in the performance of the dedicated assets portfolio;
  • a favourable discount effect of +€1,518 million, principally attribuable to the increase in the real discount rate for nuclear provisions in France between the end of December 2021 and the end of June 2022, after remaining stable between the end of December 2020 and the end of June 2021.

Restated for non-recurring items, the current financial result amounted to +€530 million compared to
-€993 million in the first half of 2021 (the change in fair value of the dedicated asset portfolio is not included in the calculation of the current financial result).

Net income excluding non-recurring items stood at -€1,312 million for the first half of 2022, down €5,052 million from the first half of 2021. This change reflects mainly the sharp drop in EBITDA, which was only partially offset by the increase in the current financial result and by the drop in the corporate income tax.

Net income – Group share amounted to -€5,293 million for the first half of 2022, down €9,465 millions. In addition to the significant decrease in net income excluding non-recurring items, the change includes in particular the negative change in the fair value of financial instruments for -€3,819 million.

Cash flow and net financial debt

The Group’s cash flow amounted to -€3,981 million in the first half of 2022, a significant deterioration compared to the first half of 2021, when it amounted to -€240 million. This is mainly due to the significant decline in EBITDA.
The working-capital requirement amounted to €6,804 million in the first half of 2022. This change is mainly explained by the decrease in margin calls, by the favourable unwinding of unrealised transactions related to the optimisation/trading activity and by a CSPE compensation surplus arising from very high wholesale prices on the electricity market.
Cash flow from operations(2) amounted to -€2,851 million compared to €566 million in the first half of 2021, representing a drop of €3,417 million.
Net investments stood at €8,474 million, an increase of €795 million from the first half of 2021.

Net financial debt(3) (in billions of euros) 41.0 43.0 42.8
Net financial debt/EBITDA(4) 2.21 2.39x 4.24x

Net financial debt amounted to €42.8 billion due to a favourable change in the working capital requirement of €6.8 billion and to the €3.1 billion capital increase.


Main Group results by segment

France – Generation and supply activities 

 

(in millions of euros)
H1 2021 H1 2022 Organic change (%)
Sales (5) 16,001 23,762 48.4
EBITDA 4,838 - 4,988 - 203.0

EBITDA is down sharply due to the drop in nuclear output in France linked to the phenomenon of stress corrosion in a context of high market prices and to the negative impacts of the exceptional regulatory measures adopted in France by the government in order to limit the increase in sales prices to consumers in 2022.

In supply activities, the rising prices trend contributed positively to the evolution of EDF’s offers to its customers for an estimated €3,944 million in EBITDA, before regulatory measures

The additional allocation to alternative suppliers of 19.5TWh (6) of ARENH volumes (estimated at -€1.4 billion for the 6.5TWh delivered in Q2 2022) and its repercussions on customer offers starting in Q2 2022 (estimated at -€2 billion) have created negative price effects. The overall impact, including the 4% tax-inclusive cap on regulated electricity tariffs for 2022, is estimated at -€6,162 million at the end of June 2022. This amount includes a provision of
-€2.7 billion arising from the additional ARENH volumes of 13TWh to be delivered to alternative suppliers in the second half of 2022.

Nuclear output decreased by 27.6TWh between H1 2021 and H1 2022. The decrease was mainly due to the impact of the stress corrosion phenomenon (-36.6TWh). On the other hand, the fleet had fewer unplanned outages and better planning optimisation (+9TWh). The outages forced purchases to be made at very high price levels. The impact on EBITDA was estimated at -€7,282 million at the end of June 2022.

In a context of historically poor hydropower conditions, the drop in hydropower output had an adverse effect on EBITDA estimated at €1,370 million.

Other factors contributed favourably to the change in EBITDA, notably positive effects relating to purchases and sales on the market totalling an estimated €1,044 million in the context of a milder than normal winter.

France – Regulated activities (7)

 

(in millions of euros)
H1 2021 H2 2022 Organic change (%)
Sales (1)  9,096 9,578 5.3
EBITDA 3,210 3,171 -1.2

The decrease in EBITDA is explained in particular by a negative price effect for an estimated -€77 million linked to purchases of losses made in a context of a sharply increasing market prices (estimated at -€312 million) despite the positive change in TURPE indexation(8).

The downturn in volumes distributed due to milder weather had an estimated impact of -€98 million.


Renewable Energies

EDF Renewables

(in millions of euros) H1 2021 H1 2022 Organic change (%)
Sales (9) 807 1,051 24.3
EBITDA 294 500 64.6
of which EBITDA production 359 653 77.4

EBITDA growth was mainly due to the rise in generated volumes compared to the first half of 2021 (+22.7%) and the positive price effects, in particular in North America and in the United Kingdom. The first half of 2021 was marked by an extreme cold snap in Texas, with a material adverse impact on EBITDA estimated at -€94 million, with no equivalent in 2022.

The growth of the portfolio of wind and solar projects, as well as the setting up of operations in new countries (Vietnam, Australia, Colombia, etc.) brought an increase in development costs

Group Renewables excluding hydropower in France

(in millions of euros) H1 2021 H1 2022 Change (%) Organic change (%)
Sales(1) 1,307 1,796 37.4 32.8
EBITDA 544 723 32.9 28.1
Net investments - 715 -1,483 107.4  

The growth in EBITDA reflects the increase in the Group’s wind and solar output by 20.7% to 12.9TWh, mainly due to wind farms commissioned in the US and Brazil, as well as increased wind generation in Belgium, despite a decrease in hydro generation in Italy.

Net investments were up thanks in particular to the acquisition in 2022 of the development rights for offshore wind power in the New York Bight.

Energy Services

Dalkia

(in millions of euros) H1 2021 H1 2022 Organic change (%)
Sales (10) 2,326 3,211 39.9
EBITDA 215 185 -14.9

EBITDA was penalised by the capping of gas prices for cogeneration plants under the purchase obligations and their early cessation due to the shift in the winter tariff.

Dalkia makes major contribution to the “France Relance” plan. Arkema, Dalkia and PSI Environnement are carrying out a project designed to avoid the consumption of 18,000 metric tons of oil equivalent of gas and the emission of 10,000 metric tons of CO2 per year. The steam boiler project, built and operated by Dalkia, will be SRF-fired (11).

Group Energy Services (12)

(in millions of euros) H1 2021 H1 2022 Change (%) Organic change (%)
Sales(1)  3,070 4,122 34.3 37.1
EBITDA 255 234 -8.2 -8.6
Net investments - 122 -148 22  

The decline in EBITDA reflects the decline in Dalkia’s cogeneration business despite growth in service sales in France, Belgium and Italy.

Investment growth was driven by Edison and Dalkia.


Framatome 

(in millions of euros) H1 2021 H1 2022 Organic change (%)
Sales (13) 1,634 1,977 15.7
EBITDA (14) 293 321 4.1
EDF group contributory EBITDA 183 186 -6.6

Framatome has experienced increased EBITDA within its scope. Contributory EBITDA, however, decreased in the first half of 2022 due to lower fuel assemblies sales, mainly in the United-States.

The “Installed Base” activity grew in the first half of 2022 in North America.

Order intake amounted to approximately €2.1 billion at the end of June 2022(15), higher than in the first half of 2021, thanks in particular to the fuel activities and the Installed Base activity in North America.

Framatome finalised the acquisition of the EFINOR group’s energy and defence activities. This operation allows Framatome to reinforce its expertise in welding and qualified welding standards, while strengthening its position in the manufacture of components and in high value-added services for customers(16).


United Kingdom

(in millions of euros) H1 2021 H1 2022 Organic change (%)
Sales (17) 4,887 6,904 42.1
EBITDA 267 860 241.9

The significant increase in EBITDA is explained by improved generation and optimisation of the nuclear fleet. The increase in nuclear output (+2.3TWh) enabled additional volumes to be sold on the market in a context of rising prices (realised nuclear prices up by +£14.9/MWh), whereas the level of output in 2021 had led to purchases at high prices.

Supply activities have been affected by the energy crisis in the United Kingdom, including a partial passing on the increase in energy prices to residential customers as part of the capped tariff increase announced on 1 April 2022. The professional and industrial customer segment benefited from portfolio growth and a favourable price effect.

EBITDA also benefited from lower operating expenses, mainly due to the shutdown of Dungeness B and Hunterston B plants and to the reform of the employee pension scheme.

Italy 

(in millions of euros) H1 2021 H1 2022 Organic change (%)
Sales (1) 3,911 13,017 232.0
EBITDA 534 622 14.2

EBITDA in Electricity activities was up in particular thanks to higher volumes generated by CCGT (combined cycle gas turbines) in connection with the increase in the clean spark spread and the remuneration of the capacity market. On the other hand, the contribution of renewable generation decreased, in particular due to very poor hydropower conditions.

Gas activities benefited from the increase in volumes sold, in particular on the wholesale markets. A capital gain on the disposal of Infrastrutture Distribuzione Gas (IDG) was recorded in 2021, with no equivalent in 2022.

Supply activities were affected by the increase in electricity and gas prices which have not been fully passed on to residential customers.


Other international

(in millions of euros) H1 2021 H1 2022 Organic change (%)
Sales (18) 1,394 2,585 65.1
EBITDA 206 291 32.0
Of which Belgium 122 179 43.4
Of which Brazil 77 114 31.2

In Belgium (19), the increase in EBITDA is mainly due to increased generation from wind farms with more favourable wind conditions than in 2021 (+15.6% compared to H1 2021). Installed wind capacity amounted to 599MW(20), or +7.5% compared to June 2021.

Nuclear generation was down due in particular to the unplanned outage of the Chooz power plant (21) over much of the first half of 2022, leading to electricity purchases at high prices.

Given the tense market context, the positive evolution of EBITDA was also driven by the good performance of the thermal activities, which were more solicited.

Service activities are growing and supply activities held up well in a context marked by continuing intense competition and the extension of social tariffs

In Brazil, EBITDA was up organically mainly due to the 18% increase in the price of the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) at the EDF Norte Fluminense plant in November 2021.

        


Other activities

(in millions of euros) H1 2021 H1 2022 Organic change (%)
Sales (22) 1,887 7,697 311.4
EBITDA 854 1,845 114.6
Including EDF Trading 608 1,749 184.7
Including gas activities 188 20 -89.4

EDF Trading’s EBITDA was up sharply. This trading and optimisation performance was achieved across all geographies, on a backdrop of very volatile commodity markets.

The decline in EBITDA for the gas business was mainly due to higher-priced purchases of Liquefied Natural Gas at the beginning of 2022 compared to the first half of 2021. These purchases helped offset the de-stocking of the Dunkirk terminal at the end of 2021 in a context of high prices and tension on the commodities market leading to a high use of gas assets.
