| (€ million) | 9M18 | 9M17 |
| Revenue | 166.65 | 162.80 |
| EBITDA | 29.33 | 26.41 |
| Profit after tax | 17.60 | 15.22 |
This positive earnings momentum is all the more noteworthy in light of the developments unfolding throughout the year that had an impact on output and profits: the general maintenance stoppage; the cost of emission allowances; and the application of conservative revenue recognition criteria with respect to the remuneration for the energy sold by the Group as a result of the parameters established in Spanish Royal Decree 413/2014
