The energy group E.ON has confirmed its forecasts following losses in the first half of the year.

The adjusted operating result (EBITDA) fell by 14 percent to 4.9 billion in the first six months, the Group announced on Wednesday. Adjusted net profit fell by 24 percent to 1.8 billion euros. This was in line with expectations, as the previous year's result had benefited from positive one-off effects. The Group confirmed its outlook, according to which it aims to achieve an adjusted result of between 8.8 and 9.0 billion euros for the year as a whole.
