Uniper SE: Uniper successfully closes the 2023 financial year with an Adjusted EBIT of over EUR 6.3 billion and records
a likely payment obligation towards the Federal Republic of Germany in connection with the granted state aid
Based on preliminary figures, Uniper expects an Adjusted EBIT of over EUR 6.3 billion for the financial year 2023 which
is within the forecast of EUR 6 to 7 billion. The Adjusted Net Income amounts to over EUR 4.4 billion and is also
within the forecast of EUR 4 to 5 billion.
In the financial year 2023, Uniper benefited from a favourable market environment, particularly from hedging
transactions in the area of electricity generation from coal and gas-fired power plants and in the gas midstream
business. In addition, successful forward transactions to hedge outstanding gas supply obligations resulting from the
curtailment of Russian gas supplies had a positive impact on earnings. This positive one-off effect accumulated to
around EUR 2.3 billion in the 2023 financial year and made a significant contribution to the exceptional annual result
for the past financial year.
Uniper will recognise a provision of approx. EUR 2.3 billion in the consolidated financial statements for the financial
year 2023 for a likely payment obligation towards the Federal Republic of Germany in connection with the state aid
granted in 2022. This payment obligation, with the final amount still dependent on the annual result for 2024, will
fall due at the beginning of 2025 and should be paid from existing liquid funds. The recognition of this provision will
have a full impact on the annual result of Uniper.
In December 2022, the European Commission approved state aid to Uniper subject to certain conditions. The Federal
Republic of Germany then provided state aid to Uniper in the financial year 2022 in the amount of approx. EUR 13.5
billion. In accordance with the EU state aid decision dated 20 December 2022, in conjunction with the framework
agreement concluded between the Federal Republic of Germany and Uniper on 19 December 2022, Uniper is obliged, among
other commitments, to pay any potential overcompensation from the state aid to the Federal Republic of Germany.
The definitions of the key performance indicators used are explained in the Uniper SE Annual Report 2022.
All published figures and statements are preliminary and unaudited. As announced, the detailed results for the
financial year 2023 will be published on 28 February 2024.
