May 14, 2025 – Audax Renovables (ADX.MC), a vertically integrated Spanish energy group that generates 100% renewable energy and supplies electricity and gas to customers in 7 European countries, has closed its best first quarter in history, consolidating the results of the last two years.
The improvement in gross margin (+4%), EBITDA (+6%), and proforma net result
(+42%) has been achieved thanks to an increase in the volume of energy supplied
by +8%, from 4.6 TWh to 4.9 TWh, driven by a +16% growth in its customer base,
reaching 455 thousand supply points.
Since its merger in 2018, Audax Renovables has reached its highest level of financial
stability, achieving a record net equity of over EUR 234 million. This strengthening of
its own resources allows it to comfortably meet its financial commitments. As a result
of this evolution, EthiFinance has upgraded the company’s credit rating to BBB-, with
a positive outlook.
Greater international presence, higher volume of energy supplied, and more supply points are the keys to another historic quarter for the Group
The growth in energy supplied and the increase in the customer portfolio have been
homogeneous in all the geographical areas where the Group operates, consolidating
its international positioning and emphasizing the solidity of its commercial policies.
Strict compliance with its commercial, coverage, and risk policies has been key to
the stable long-term improvement of the Group’s economic results.
Audax drives 100% renewable energy in Europe
Audax Renovables continues to set the pace in the renewable energy sector with a
significant portfolio of projects in Spain, France, Poland, Italy, Portugal, and Panama. The company continues to operate its 100% renewable generation portfolio,
consisting of wind and photovoltaic assets, while managing the development of its
photovoltaic portfolio in strategic markets such as Spain, Italy, and Portugal.
This expansion strategy in generation, in countries where they already have
commercial activity, reinforces their vertical integration model, allowing Audax to
maximize the efficiency and sustainability of its operations.
Audax’s generation project portfolio is robust: it has 604 MW in an advanced stage
of developing, 84 MW currently under construction expected to be operational during 2025, and 267 MW already in operation. These advances underline Audax’s
commitment to a cleaner and more sustainable energy future, consolidating its
position as a leader in the renewable energy sector.

capacity, gross recourse financial debt continues to decrease gradually (-4%
compared to March 2024). Meanwhile, non-recourse financial debt increases, entirely associated with the development of new generation projects.
