Revenue	EUR 123.9 million	EUR 98.6 million	25.7 %
Adjusted EBITDA*	EUR 28.5 million	EUR 25.4 million	12.2 %

	2021	2020	Change
Revenue	EUR 393.4 million	EUR 325.7 million	20.8 %
Adjusted EBITDA*	EUR 91.9 million	EUR 77.5 million	18.6 %

In January – March 2021, the Group generated revenue of EUR 393.4 million, which is 20.8 % more compared to a respective period of 2020 (EUR 325.7 million). Revenue increase was driven by higher revenue of the CCGT unit of Flexible Generation segment due to higher electricity volumes generated caused by positive spark spread. Also Group's revenue increased as a result of higher revenue from electricity sales to business customers in Customers & Solutions segment as well as higher revenue from electricity distribution due to higher distributed volumes in Networks segment. Both of these effects were mostly related to colder weather conditions compared to 2020.

The adjusted EBITDA in January – March 2021 was equal to EUR 91.9 million, i.e. 18.6 % more compared to a respective period of 2020 (EUR 77.5 million). Increase of adjusted EBITDA was driven by:

• Green Generation segment result increase due to start of operations of Kaunas and Vilnius CHP’s in August 2020 and March 2021, respectively;

• Flexible Generation segment growth due to better results from CCGT unit commercial activity due to positive spark spread;

• Networks segment growth mainly as a result of higher distributed volumes due to colder weather conditions compared to respective period of 2020. This effect will level off over the course of the year as annual ROI and compensated D&A is fixed for the year but allocated between the months based on distributed volumes.
