(RTTNews) - German utility RWE AG reported Thursday sharply lower profit in its fiscal 2023 with weak revenues, while adjusted EBIT and EBITDA, key earnings metrics, were higher. Further, the company announced higher dividend, and said it maintains fiscal 2024 earnings view, but now sees at the lower end of the range.

In Germany, RWE shares were gaining around 3.5 percent to trade at 32.85 euros.

Michael Muller, CFO of RWE AG, said, "We confirm today the outlook for fiscal 2024 that we communicated at our Capital Markets Day. Due to the recent significant drop in power prices on the European wholesale markets, we expect a figure at the lower end of the forecast range."

RWE confirmed its dividend target of 1.00 euro per share for fiscal 2023, higher than last year's 0.90 euro.

Looking ahead for fiscal 2024, RWE said it expects that it will not be able to match the very good earnings achieved in 2023. The company maintained its outlook range, but now expects to reach earnings at the lower end of the forecast range due to drop in power prices.
