July 29, 2010| Amsterdam- Nuon posts profit of EUR 269 million; margins under pressure
Profit for the first half of 2010 rose compared with the first half of 2009, mainly because of higher sales of gas as a result of the cold winter, sharp cost reductions and incidental items. Margins on electricity production were under pressure during the first half of the year due to weak demand for electricity as a result of the economic crisis. The margin on electricity sales was lower because the sales price for electricity fell faster than the contracted purchase price. The number of customers in the Netherlands fell slightly compared with last year but this decrease was offset by 12% growth in the number of customers in Belgium. Nuon invested considerably more in new power stations and renewable energy in the first half year.

February 10, 2010| Amsterdam- Nuon posts net profit of EUR 200 million
Energy company Nuon reported a net profit of EUR 200 million for the full year of 2009, compared to EUR 492 million in 2008. Net profit was impacted by various incidental items. Excluding these items, net profit is EUR 321 million (2008: EUR 585 million). The results from our core business, the sale and production of energy, improved compared to last year. However, these effects were more than offset by lower results from trading and a lower interest income. The lower volatility in commodity prices created fewer trading opportunities in 2009.
