Javier Garrido's questions to EDP SA (EDPFY) leadership • Q1 2025
Question
Javier Garrido of JPMorgan Chase & Co. asked about the financial impact on EDP from the recent power market disconnect between Portugal and Spain following the blackout. He also questioned whether the €1.2 billion net income guidance for 2025 represents a realistic central case or a worst-case scenario.
Answer
CEO Miguel de Andrade explained that the market splitting was temporary, lasting only a couple of days before normalizing, and is not expected to have a material impact. He characterized the 2025 guidance as the company's 'best estimate as of today' and a 'realistic outlook,' adding that management feels even more comfortable with the number now than before.
