Introduction

Abstract

Introduction

The Performance pillar combines 5 financial metrics to measure business performance. The Scale pillar combines financial and operational metrics to measure the size of a utility. The Growth pillar measures the rate of growth of a utility' s financial and energy resources. The Exposure pillar combines both operational and financial measurements of risk.

Scope

  • A thorough review of the key operational and financial metrics that drive utility performance.
  • A comparison and ranking of key metrics across Europe' s leading utilities.

Report Highlights

The Finnish utility Fortum leads on the Performance pillar and Russia' s Gazprom on the Scale pillar whilst Denmark' s Dong leads in both the Growth and Exposure pillars

Reasons to Purchase

  • See where a company ranks in European utility scorecard
  • Gain a comprehensive assessment of a company' s market share across Europe
  • Acquire a wealth of company data from retail volumes to structural hedge positions

  • ANALYSIS
    • European Utilities Key Player Profile: Edison
    • Key Player Scorecard examines 31 leading utilities drawn from across Europe' s competitive arenas
      • Key Players dominate power generation capacity market share in the Wmed competitive arena
      • Key Players dominate power generation output market share in the Wmed and CEE competitive arenas
      • Despite ongoing industry consolidation, in no competitive arenas do Key Players dominate power supply volume market share
      • Despite ongoing industry consolidation, in no competitive arenas do Key Players dominate gas volume market share
    • The Key Player Scorecard assesses utilities across four pillars: Performance, Scale, Growth and Exposure
      • The Performance pillar combines 5 financial metrics to measure business performance
      • The Scale pillar combines financial and operational metrics to measure the size of a utility
      • The Growth pillar measures the rate of growth of a utility' s financial and energy resources
      • The Exposure pillar combines both operational and financial measurements of risk
    • Edison scores 24.7/100 on Datamonitor' s European Utility Scorecard and ranks 27 out of the 31 Key Players covered
      • Edison underperforms the Key Player average in each of the four pillars
      • Edison achieves an overall ranking of 27, with a utility score of 24.7
      • Edison scores higher in Performance and Growth, but less so in Exposure and Scale
      • Edison underperforms, yet with an average level of risk
      • Edison underperforms the Key Player average and the top ten utilities in both Scale and Growth
    • Edison' s Performance ranking of 25 is lifted only slightly by an above average operating profit margin
      • Edison' s weakest Performance metrics are return on fixed assets and return on investment
      • Edison underperforms the Key Player average in return on sales and fixed assets, and operating profit margin
      • Edison also scores below the Key Player average on return on investment and energy volume
    • Edison underperforms the Key Player average in Scale, with a rank of 21
    • In Scale, Edison ranks 21 with a score of 1.6
      • In terms of generation capacity Edison ranks 16, with 6.6 GW
      • Edison' s gas supply volume is 1.25 times its power supply volume, making it one of the most balanced integrated utilities
      • Edison has a less than one percent share of Key Player power customers
      • At 53 TWh, Edison ranks 13 in terms of power volume
      • Edison supplies less than one percent of Key Player gas customers
    • Edison lags the Key Player average in terms of gas volume, with a rank of 14
      • Edison ranks 19 and 22 in terms of revenue and net income respectively
    • Edison' s low Growth ranking of 27 is due to underperformance in all but profit growth
      • Edison' s profit growth ranks 6 amongst all Key Players
      • Edison' s price earnings ratio is just above the Key Player median
      • From 2001 to 2005, Edison' s annual profit growth (28.6%) far exceeded its revenue growth (8.4%)
      • Edison' s operating cash flow (-55.2%) and gas supply volume (-38.1%) have declined dramatically from 2004 to 2005
    • Edison' s Exposure ranking of 22 can be attributed to high debt leverage and very poor operating cash flow growth
      • But for its gas NTR, Edison lags the Key Player average on Exposure metrics
      • Edison' s gas supply obligations outweigh its gas equity position, resulting in a gas NTR of -85%
      • Edison' s power NTR deficit of -36.6% results in a rank of 20
      • Edison is more highly leveraged than many top ten utilities
      • Edison has a debt to equity ratio of 154.2%
      • Edison' s operating cash flow has declined at twice the rate of its energy volume
    • Edison' s operations are centred in Italy
      • Gas is the main source of Edison' s power generation capacity, followed by hydro power
      • Edison' s power customers are in Italy, and the company a less than one percent market share of Key Player power customers
      • Edison focuses on large customers and wholesale markets, resulting in a small market share of Key Player gas customers
