National Grid plc outlines expectations for the weighting of half-year operating profit across its businesses ahead of its half year results on 6 November 2025. It expects UK Electricity Transmission and Distribution profits to be broadly evenly split across the year, noting H1 of FY25 included contribution from the Electricity System Operator prior to its sale on 1 October 2024. In its US regulated businesses, profits are generally weighted to the second half, but due to fewer storms in New York and new electricity distribution rates in New England, the company expects a slightly higher first-half contribution from those businesses versus the prior year. National Grid Ventures is expected to have a roughly even profitability weighting across the year.
The filing includes contact numbers for investors and media and a detailed cautionary statement emphasizing that the forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including regulatory, weather, market and operational factors, and that results could differ materially.
