Dissemination of an Ad hoc announcement, transmitted by DGAP - a company of
EquityStory AG.
The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

EVN specifies the expected consolidated Group net profit for 2012/13 and
announces that for the current financial year, the consolidated Group net
profit for 2012/13 is expected to be below the comparable figure for the
previous financial year by approximately 40%.

The primary reasons for the currently expected decrease in the consolidated
Group net profit, aside from the previously reported negative effects
related to EconGas GmbH and the sale of the interests in Devoll Hydropower
ShA in Albania, are the newly required revised assessment of the Verbund AG
interests held through WEEV Beteiligungs GmbH, a joint venture with Wien
Energie GmbH, the negative developments in the implementation of
environmental projects in Moscow, as well as a further worsening of the
regulatory environment in Bulgaria.

The results for the first six months of 2012/13 will be published on May
28th, 2013.
