Hera's Q1 2008 results show continued strong growth, with revenues up 33.8% and EBITDA up 14.7% compared to Q1 2007. The results were driven by normalized winter weather, tariff increases, synergies from acquisitions, and organic growth. All business segments saw increased earnings except for Waste, which was impacted by expired contracts. Capex was in line with plans, and net financial debt increased due to capital expenditures and seasonal working capital needs. Management remains focused on executing the new 2008-2011 business plan and pursuing consolidation opportunities.
