Executive summary

9M income after taxes was EUR 6.4 M (EUR 12.0 M); EPS was EUR 0.37 (EUR 0.69).

9M operating expenses increased 1.5% to EUR 254.4 M; fuel and emission allowance costs were EUR 51.9 M (EUR 45.0 M).
Outlook and guidance
The 2026 income-before-tax outlook was lowered below previous expectations and is now expected to be significantly lower than 2025, reflecting persistently high energy prices and their cost impact.
The final quarter begins with a stable market position, but energy-price and consumer-demand uncertainty persists; priorities include cost control, efficiency and customer-offering development.
