Ad hoc announcement EVN AG / Keyword(s): Profit Warning/Forecast EVN AG: EVN specifies expected consolidated Group net profit as of 09/30/2013 Ad hoc announcement transmitted by DGAP - a company of EquityStory AG. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EVN specifies the expected consolidated Group net profit for 2012/13 and announces that for the current financial year, the consolidated Group net profit for 2012/13 is expected to be below the comparable figure for the previous financial year by approximately 40%. The primary reasons for the currently expected decrease in the consolidated Group net profit, aside from the previously reported negative effects related to EconGas GmbH and the sale of the interests in Devoll Hydropower ShA in Albania, are the newly required revised assessment of the Verbund AG interests held through WEEV Beteiligungs GmbH, a joint venture with Wien Energie GmbH, the negative developments in the implementation of environmental projects in Moscow, as well as a further worsening of the regulatory environment in Bulgaria. The results for the first six months of 2012/13 will be published on May 28th, 2013.
