Engie's revenue and market capitalization

Lower turnover in 2020 for Engie

For the financial year 2020, the Engie group has achieved an annual turnover of €55.8 billion, compared to €60.1 billion in 2019. It therefore reports a year-on-year discount of 7.2% gross and 5.7% organic. In addition, the gross drop in turnover includes a negative currency effect.

This negative currency effect is mainly due to the depreciation of the Brazilian real against the euro. It is also caused by the depreciation of the US dollar and the Mexican and Argentinean pesos against the European currency.

However, these were partly offset by a positive net perimeter effect. The latter takes into account several acquisitions made in Customer Solutions, particularly Conti in the United States and Powerlines in Europe.

The organic decline in annual sales was mainly due to the Covid-19 health crisis. It had a significant impact on the Group's activities in all geographical areas, particularly in Supply and Customer Solutions.

However, this organic decline was partly offset by revenue growth in Brazil and by volume and price effects on electricity sales in France.

Current operating income (OI) performance

For the full twelve months of 2020, Engie's current operating income (OI) was €4.6 billion, compared to €5.8 billion in 2019. Over one year, it is down 21.3% in gross terms and 16.4% in organic terms.

Geographically, France recorded a 22.2% organic drop in ROC to €2.22 billion in 2020, compared to €2.86 billion a year earlier. This decline was partly due to the negative impacts of the Covid-19 health crisis.

The Rest of Europe shows an ROC of €648 million in 2020, compared to €707 million in 2019. It therefore reports an organic decline of 9.9% year-on-year. This is mainly due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on Client Solutions in the UK, Italy and Benelux. The health crisis also affected the Supply business.

For the full year 2020, Latin America's OIR was €1.54 billion. 1.54 billion, an organic increase of 2.9% year-on-year. In contrast, the United States and Canada posted an organic decline of 6.3% year-on-year in OIR to €124 million, compared with €155 million in 2019.

The negative effects of the health crisis on the Supply business and the termination of the LNG contract were the main factors causing this decline. In 2020, there is organic stability in the ROC in the Middle East, Africa & Asia region. It amounts to EUR 518 million.

 The OIR of the "Others" segment experienced a strong organic decline over the whole of the 2020 financial year. This decline is due to the impact of the health crisis on the activities of SUEZ, Companies & Public authorities, and GEM.

The Lean 2021 plan also continued to favour the production of results in terms of current operating income and Ebitda. These two financial indicators were slightly above the company's expectations.

In 2020, Engie recorded a recurring net profit (group share) of €1.7 billion, compared to €2.7 billion a year earlier. This underperformance was driven by a decline in operating income and growth in recurring financial expenses. It is also due to the increase in the recurring effective tax rate from 28.2% to 32.5%.

Net income, group share, amounted to EUR -1.5 billion. 2.5 billion due to the decline in recurring net profit and high impairment losses of
