MILAN, Feb 5 (Reuters) - Italian utility Enel ENEI.MI reported on Thursday an ordinary core profit of 22.9 billion euros ($27 billion), in line with the group's guidance for 2025, adding that the full-year net income would come slightly above 6.9 billion euros.
Ordinary earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) was slightly below an analyst consensus of 23 billion euros calculated by LSEG, as growth in international businesses was offset by a weaker performance in Italy.
The group, which will present its updated strategy on February 23 in Milan, reported a 2.5% increase in net debt to 57.2 billion euros, but said the ratio of debt to EBITDA remained steady at 2.5.
