MILAN (Reuters) - Europe's biggest gas distributor Italgas said on Tuesday it would increase its dividend on 2023 results by 11% after its adjusted core earnings for last year met its forecast.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) came in 1.184 billion euros ($1.29 billion) last year, up more than 9% on 2022 mainly driven by growth of non-regulated businesses.
