Neoen (ISIN: FR0011675362, Ticker: NEOEN), one of the world's leading independent producers of exclusively renewable energy, is presenting its consolidated results for the first half of 2022, which ended on June 30, 2022. These financial statements, which have undergone a limited review by the Statutory Auditors, were approved by the Board of Directors on July 28, 2022.

Xavier Barbaro, Neoen's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented: "Neoen is reporting very strong growth in its interim results, with an increase of over 35% in its revenue and adjusted EBITDA. To a large extent, this performance reflects the multiple new projects brought into service over the past few quarters. In addition, the first half brought a further increase in our portfolio of projects, the cornerstone of our future growth. We are also very proud to have been awarded further tenders for solar projects in France and Ireland and to have launched the construction of our first wind farm in Sweden. Our ambition is to play a major role in the energy transition in these countries, as well as in all those where we have established a presence while contributing to their economic competitiveness and strengthening their energy sovereignty. In this context, we are raising our target for the full-year."
