(1) EBITDA is a Non-GAAP Financial Measure. The Company defines EBITDA as profit/(loss) for the period before (i) income taxes, (ii) share of profit/(loss) from equity investments, (iii) income/expense from investments, (iv) finance costs, (v) finance income, (vi) depreciation and amortization (vii) expenses for corporate restructuring, (viii) accruals to provision and cost of legal services for asbestos claims, (ix) other non recurring items
Net working capital and net financial position
NWC and net debt increase are consistent with the delivery schedule: deleveraging expected by year-end
- Net debt mirrors net working capital dynamics driven by a concentrated delivery schedule
- Deleveraging starting from 3Q
(1) Construction loans are committed working capital financing facilities, treated as part of Net working capital, not in Net debt, as they are not general purpose loans and can be a source of financing only in connection with ship contracts

2021 Company outlook
- In the US, the CDC may reportedly be open to lift or modify the Conditional Sailing Order in Europe cruise operations are about to be resumed starting from late spring/early summer

- Operations to run at full swing with a production ramp-up expected to bridge the gap experienced in 2020
- Long-term growth and profitability are ensured by a fully preserved order portfolio in Cruise and a highly diversified backlog
- Sound revenue growth expected to accelerate in the remaining part of the year
- Increase in net financial position (owing to a delivery schedule concentrated in 3Q) expected to rapidly reverse in the second half of 2021
- Confirmed guidance on year-end:
- Revenues excluding pass-through activities will be up 25%-30% and EBITDA margin is expected at ~7.0%
- Net financial position is expected to come in broadly in line with 2020
