  • European Utilities Key Player Profile: EDP
  • Key Player Scorecard examines 31 leading utilities drawn from across Europe' s competitive arenas
    • Key Players dominate power generation capacity market share in the Wmed competitive arena
    • Key Players dominate power generation output market share in the Wmed and CEE competitive arenas
    • Despite ongoing industry consolidation, in no competitive arenas do Key Players dominate power supply volume market share
    • Despite ongoing industry consolidation, in no competitive arenas do Key Players dominate gas volume market share
  • The Key Player Scorecard assesses utilities across four pillars: Performance, Scale, Growth and Exposure
    • The Performance pillar combines 5 financial metrics to measure business performance
    • The Scale pillar combines financial and operational metrics to measure the size of a utility
    • The Growth pillar measures the rate of growth of a utility' s financial and energy resources
    • The Exposure pillar combines both operational and financial measurements of risk
  • EDP scores 29.3/100 on Datamonitor' s European Utility Scorecard and ranks 19 out of the 31 Key Players covered
    • EDP' s ranking varies widely across the four pillars
    • EDP achieves an overall ranking of 19, with a utility score of 29.3
    • EDP has a high level of financial Performance matched with a lower than average level of risk
    • Compared to the Key Player average and the top ten utilities, EDP lags in both Scale and Growth
  • EDP is a top Key Player on return on energy volume, contributing to an overall Performance ranking of 18
    • EDP has exactly the Key Player average level of profitability (return on sales)
    • EDP scores just below the Key Player average on operating profit, yet ranks 21 on that measure
    • EDP underperforms in return on investment, yet has a top Key Player return on energy volume score
  • Below average gas supply volume lowers EDP' s overall Scale ranking to 16
    • EDP scores below average on most Scale metrics, yet ranks above average (13) on generation capacity
    • EDP is an integrated utility, although power volume exceeds gas volumes by a 3 to 1 margin
    • EDP has a 3.5% share of Key Player power customers
    • At 70 TWh, EDP ranks 11 in terms of power supply volume
    • EDP' s share of the gas market is negligible, with one percent of Key Player gas customers
    • EDP' s EU25 gas supply volume market share is less than one percent
    • EDP ranks 17 in revenue and 16 in net income, respectively
  • Despite high revenue growth, EDP' s overall Growth rank of 15 is pulled down by declining power and gas supply volumes
    • EDP has seen a steep drop in its gas supply volume, while power volume growth was brisk
    • EDP saw average annual profit growth of 18.9% surpass revenue growth of 11.4%, from 2001 and 2005
    • From 2004-2005, EDP' s energy supply volume grew sharply (18.4%), yet operating cash flow held steady at -0.7%
  • EDP' s low power NTR contributes to an Exposure ranking of 25
    • EDP' s scores vary widely across the four Exposure metrics
    • EDP' s generation output exceeds its end user supply obligations, resulting in a long power NTR of 34633.6 GW
    • EDP' s is heavily leveraged, with a debt to equity ratio of 140.7%
    • EDP ranks 24 of the 31 Key Players in terms of debt leverage
    • From 2004-2005, EDP' s energy volume fell 9.3%, yet operating cash flow marginally declined at -0.7%
  • EDP operates in the Wmed competitive arena
    • Hydro is EDP' s main generation source
    • EDP' s generation capacity is located mostly in Portugal
    • EDP has a 3.5% share of Key Player power customers
    • EDP' s gas customers, all located in Spain, represent a very small portion of the Key Player total
