27.08.2021 2021 semi-annual result:
Half-year profit almost doubled, outstanding annual result expected

  • Revenue growth of 33% to CHF 8.55 million
  • Net profit increase of 86% to CHF 2.53 million
  • Rise in 2021 profit forecast from CHF 3.7 million to CHF 4.6 million
  • Issue of a new bond as of December 1, 2021
The results of the Edisun Power Group were significantly increased at all levels in the first half of the year. The expected strong performance is largely attributable to the contribution of the first Portuguese large-scale plant in Mogadouro that was connected to the grid at the end of 2020. Furthermore, electricity prices were high, especially in comparison with the low prices in the spring of the previous year. Last but not least, costs remained at a low level thanks to the lean corporate structure.......

26.03.2021 2020 annual result:
Solid performance in a challenging environment

  • Revenue reduction of 13% to CHF 12.37 million (-10% in local currency)
  • EBITDA reduction of 16% to CHF 8.70 million
  • Net profit reduction of 8% to CHF 3.29 million
  • First large-scale plant in Portugal in operation since end of 2020
  • Stable dividend of CHF 1.10/share proposed
From a financial perspective, 2020 was a transition year for Edisun Power in which the implementation of the 206 MW pipeline in Portugal got underway and the first plant was connected to the grid at the end of the year. Particularly in the first half of the year, the COVID-19 crisis led to historically low electricity prices that exerted a correspondingly negative impact on the result. However, impairments on PV plants in the amount of CHF 0.56 million were reversed, thereby resulting in total net profit of CHF 3.29 million. The Board of Directors proposes to the General Meeting payment of an unaltered dividend of CHF 1.10 per share from capital contribution reserves........
