Innogy cuts outlook after joint venture talks with SSE collapse
FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Innogy <IGY.DE> on Monday cut its outlook for the current year after talks to create a British energy retail joint venture with SSE <SSE.L> collapsed, leaving the German group with the local loss-making unit.
Including its British retail unit Npower, Innogy now expects adjusted earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) of about 2.6 billion euros (2.3 billion pounds) and adjusted net income of more than 1 billion euros.
It had previously targeted adjusted EBIT of about 2.7 billion euros and adjusted net income of more than 1.1 billion.
