The adjusted operating result (EBIT) amounted to 6.349 billion euros, as RWE announced on Friday on the basis of preliminary figures. The company had forecast between five and 5.6 billion. Adjusted net income amounted to 4.536 billion euros, compared to RWE's target of 3.3 to 3.8 billion euros. The dividend target for 2023 remains unchanged at 1.00 euro per share. The Group intends to announce the full results as planned on March 14. The publication of the figures was not well received on the stock market: RWE shares were down almost three percent afterwards.
