Michael Moser, Enerjisa Enerji CFO, stated that “We have started very well into the year, but since March, our main focus area has been the COVID-19 pandemic. We, as Enerjisa Enerji, have prepared ourselves well for the potential outcomes of the pandemic and have implemented several risk mitigation measures on time. Additionally, the regulatory mechanisms, with its high degree of protection, have helped and still helps in this crisis. Thanks to the aforementioned actions we have taken and because of the beneficial regulatory regime, we have so far only experienced very moderate impacts to our financials. As a result, we achieved a very strong bottom-line development in the first half of this year. At the end of the second quarter our Underlying Net Income has reached 754mTL, a 62% increase compared to the same period of last year.

Although we remain cautious also for the second half of this year, we feel confident enough on the back of our strong first half performance to revise our Outlook upwards. Accordingly, we revise our guidance for Underlying Net Income upwards to above 30% year-over-year growth.”
