FRANKFURT (Reuters) - German utility EnBW on Thursday said its core profit likely more than doubled to 2.8 billion euros ($3.1 billion) in the first quarter, citing gains on derivative positions as a result of a steep decline in energy prices.

First-quarter adjusted net profit likely rose to 2.3 billion euros from 0.6 billion last year, according to preliminary figures, EnBW said.

Final results for the period will be published on May 12, the company said.
