DEA closed the first half of 2026 with higher revenue and margins: EBITDA grew faster than sales and net profit reached €3.2 million. Net financial debt increased, mainly reflecting timing effects and tariff-equalisation mechanisms.
Key figures
- Revenue: €20.6 million, up 8.8%
- EBITDA: €8.6 million, up 16.1%; margin 42%
- EBIT: €5.7 million, up 26.3%
- Net profit: €3.2 million, up 17%
- Net financial debt: €14 million, versus €5 million at end-2025
- Network served: 91,200 points of delivery and 38,996 lighting points
Operations and financial position
Growth in distributed volumes and regulated activities supported both sales and profitability. The 42% EBITDA margin and stronger EBIT point to positive operating leverage during the period.
The rise in net debt to €14 million from €5 million at the end of 2025 was attributed mainly to collection timing and tariff equalisation. The interim financial movement should therefore be assessed separately from the semester’s earnings performance.
