Financial Results 1H 2024
Message from the executive chairman of the board
A half year with high quality of growth
After the brilliant results achieved in 2023, which provide a challenging basis for comparison, Hera manages to deliver further progress in the first half of 2024, as proven by EBITDA increasing by 2%, EBIT improving by 2.8%, and Earnings per Share up 16%. The half-year growth in Group EBITDA is based on structural components and fully organic: a strong impetus came from the positive dynamics of Networks, where Hera has taken full advantage of the new regulatory framework, and from the strong position in industrial waste treatment.
