EDF - Quarterly financial information

- Q1 2010 sales: EUR 21.9 billion, +4.3%
- 2010 organic EBITDA growth target of 3% to 5%¹ confirmed

EDF Group Sales for the first three months of the financial year amounted to EUR 21.9 billion, up 4.3% compared to Q1 2009. This growth is due to a positive scope effect of EUR 1 billion, consisting primarily of the acquisitions in November 2009 of SPE in Belgium and 49.99% of Constellation Energy Group (CEG) nuclear assets in the United States. The 1.6% decline in sales at constant scope and exchange rates reflected an unfavourable price effect on International gas and electricity sales, whereas France benefited from weather effect.

In light of the trends observed in Q1, EDF confirms its financial objectives for 2010:

• 2010 organic EBIDTA growth of 3% to 5%¹
• Net debt/EBITDA of 2.5 to 3
• Stable dividend compared to 2009

Henri Proglio, EDF Chairman and CEO, stated: "In a context of lower prices, which indeed negatively impacted International Sales, the Group experienced a favourable evolution of its operational results outside France.
In light of these trends and of the assigned objective to improve the French nuclear fleet's performance, which is a priority for EDF, the Group is able to confirm its objective of 3% to 5% of EBITDA's organic growth in 2010."
