(Sharecast News) - Energy company Calisen said on Tuesday that pre-tax losses had narrowed in 2020 thanks to some solid revenue growth.
Pre-tax losses improved 79.1% to £17.2m on the back of an 18.8% jump in revenues to £248.1m driven by a growth of 800,000 revenue-generating smart meters in 2020.
Underlying earnings increased 8% to £187.9m, while funds from operations grew 14.5% to £155.6m.
Calisen stated that while Covid-19 had delayed smart meter installations in 2020, the pandemic had not changed its expected total portfolio figure for the roll-out of 13.2m.
Chief executive Bert Pijls said: "We have substantial embedded growth in our meter pipeline, which has been contracted but not yet implemented, and there are exciting longer-term opportunities internationally and in adjacent asset classes, most immediately in EV charging.
"Overall, we remain well placed to achieve our purpose of accelerating the development of a cleaner, more efficient and sustainable energy segment."
As of 0935 GMT, Calisen shares were down 0.077% at 260.70p.
