Net profit came in at 1.16 billion euros ($1.23 billion), down 4.5% versus 2021 but higher than its 1.13 billion euro guidance.

Investments amounted to 1.93 billion euros last year, up more than 50% due to the acquisitions of two new liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals and improvements in gas storage.
