ContourGlobal upgrades guidance for the year ending 31 December 2021

ContourGlobal plc (the "Company"), an international owner and operator of contracted wholesale power generation businesses, today upgrades guidance for the year ending 31 December 2021.

Given current trading and in particular the stronger than anticipated financial performance of our natural gas fired power plant based in Arrubal, Spain, the Company now expects FY 2021 adjusted EBITDA to be $810-840(1) million, up to $30 million above the guidance range communicated on 25 October 2021 of $780-$810(1) million.

The Arrubal power plant has been operating on a merchant basis since the purchase power agreement expired in July 2021 and has benefitted from a meaningful level of dispatch during the last couple of months as a result of the current market environment in Spain.
