EP Infrastructure reports a 27% earnings drop in H1 due to halted Slovak gas flows after Russian supply stopped. Eustream's segment was notably affected.
PRAGUE (Reuters) -EP Infrastructure (EPIF), majority owned by Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky's EPH energy group, reported a 27% year-on-year fall in first-half adjusted EBITDA, to 524 million euros, hit by a decline in transit through Slovakia after Russian gas flows via Ukraine were stopped at the start of the year.
Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) dropped by 7% in EPIF's gas and power distribution segment and by 61% in the gas transmission segment which includes Slovak gas pipeline operator Eustream.
EPIF said gas flows fell to 2.0 billion cubic metres (bcm) in the first half, down from 8.7 bcm in the same period a year ago.
