Compagnie Industriali Riunite Società per Azioni announced consolidated and parent earnings results for the year ended December 31, 2012. For the year, on consolidated basis, the company reported revenues of €5,063 million against €4,522.7 million, increase of 11.9% for the same period a year ago. EBITDA was €308.1 million against €468.6 million, decrease of 34.3% for the same period a year ago. Negative net result was €33.1 million compare to net result of €9.7 million a year ago. The net result was affected by non-recurring charges. The change from last year, despite the higher earnings of Sogefi and KOS, was due mainly to the lower contribution of the other operating subsidiaries and particularly to that of Sorgenia, which closed the year with a significant loss (€196.8 million) due essentially to the write-down of assets (particularly in renewable and thermoelectric) and to a lesser extent to the difficulties in the electricity market caused by the recession. The impact of the Sorgenia loss on the result of CIR was a negative €70.3 million and does not include the write-down of renewable assets because the impairment test carried out on the total value of Sorgenia (as a cash generating unit) in the group consolidation was positive. Operating result (EBIT) was €60.3 million compared to €255.2 million in 2011. The net financial debt of the group stood at €2,504.4 million at December 31, 2012, compared to €2,335.1 million at December 31, 2011. For the year, the parent company reported net income of €7.9 million in 2012, showing strong growth on the result of €0.3 million in 2011. The company provided outlook for the year 2013. The performance of the group in 2013 will be affected by the evolution of the macroeconomic environment, especially the performance of the Italian economy, which is currently characterized by a continuing recession the intensity of which cannot at the moment be predicted. In this scenario all the main operating subsidiaries of the group will continue their actions to improve operating efficiency without however neglecting business development initiatives. The Board of Directors will proposed to the Shareholders’ Meeting to be held on April 29, 2013, that no dividends be distributed for 2012 in order to preserve the financial solidity of the company.
