SSE PLC (SSE.LN) said Thursday that its outlook for fiscal 2020 remains unchanged, despite lower-than-forecast renewable-energy output in the first three months.

The U.K. energy supplier said its first-quarter adjusted operating profit was 148 million pounds ($183.8 million) in the three months to June 30.

In May the company reported that its pretax profit for the year ended March 31 rose 59% to GBP1.37 billion after booking gains on certain disposals.

The board has declared a full-year dividend of 80 pence a share, in line with its five-year dividend plan set out in May 2018.

The company said that the key months in its fiscal year are still to come.
