Newly appointed EDF CEO Luc Remont announced a record net loss of €17.9bn euros ($19bn) in 2022, but pledged to put the company back on track. Électricité de France (EDF) posted a loss before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda) of €4.99bn, compared with positive Ebitda of €18bn in 2021. The company's net financial debt increased 50% in 2022 to €64.5bn up from €43bn the previous year. “The 2022 results were significantly affected by the decline in our electricity output, and also by exceptional regulatory measures introduced in France in difficult market conditions,” Rémont said.
