EDP's first-half profit jumps 75% on capital gains in renewables, Brazil
LISBON, July 30 (Reuters) -Portugal's largest utility EDP EDP.LS posted a higher-than- expected 75% jump in first-half net profit on Tuesday, boosted by capital gains in its renewables subsidiary and earnings from its Brazilian unit after a successful full takeover.
EDP 's consolidated net income rose to 762 million euros ($824 million) in the first half, above the average of 738 million euros expected by analysts in an LSEG survey.
Profit at EDP Renovaveis (EDPR) EDPR.LS, the world's fourth-largest wind energy producer, more than doubled to 354 million euros thanks to capital gains from selling older assets and a rebound in electricity revenues.
EDP said it booked a total of 243 million euros in consolidated capital gains from the sale of renewable energy parks and transmission assets in Brazil.
Recurring net profit rose 50% to 775 million euros, helped by the growing contribution of its Brazilian business after the buyout of EDP Brasil minorities concluded in August.
EDP's power generation increased 6% to 30,903 gigawatt-hours (GWh), 98% of which was renewable.
Supported by strong rainfall, hydro generation in Iberia rose 65% to 7,782 GWh, although lower power prices, including a 56% fall in Spanish spot electricity price, weighed on revenues.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) rose 10% to around 2.7 billion euros, compared to 2.6 billion euros expected by analysts.
EDP reiterated its May guidance for full-year recurring EBITDA of around 5 billion euros and a recurring net profit of 1.3 billion euros.
