EDF confirms a significant rebound in EBITDA in 2018 compared to 2017, driven notably by the expected increase in nuclear and hydro output in France, the rise in wholesale power prices in Europe and the good execution of the Opex performance plan.
EDF will however face several unfavourable developments, in particular:

  • the expected erosion of electricity consumption in France, as presented by RTE in its report on 7 November 2017. Enedis now anticipates a 0.3% drop in distributed volumes in 2018.
  • a lower availability of some nuclear reactors at the beginning of 2018.
  • the drop in the capacity compensation in the United Kingdom.

Moreover net investments excluding Linky, new developments and asset disposals should reach close to €11 billion in 20181. This amount includes an acceleration of investments in renewable energies and the necessary investments on the French nuclear fleet and the distribution network.
In this context, EDF is accelerating the implementation of its performance plan, which was presented in April 2016. The target of reducing Opex2 in 2018 compared to 2015 has therefore been increased to €800 million instead of the previous €700 million. The disposal plan of €10 billion which was expected to be implemented by the end of 2020, should be nearly complete at the end of 2018.
Given these different factors, the Group is setting, subject to the level of demand from alternative suppliers under the Arenh mechanism, and under the assumption of a confirmed price of €9.31/KW for the capacity certificates in France, a new EBITDA3 target for 2018 between €14.6 and €15.3 billion4, a Net Financial Debt/EBITDA3,5 target ratio below or equal to 2.7x6 and a cash flow target3,7 slightly positive or close to balance8.

7 At 2016 exchange rate. Cash flow excluding Linky, new developments and asset disposals, with an assumed discount rate on nuclear
provisions of 4.1% for 2017 and 3.9% for 2018, excluding interim dividend for 2018, which will be decided in the second half of 2018
8 Compared to a previous target ≥ 0
