Glossary

  • Adjusted EBITDA: it is represented by EBITDA (earnings for the year before income taxes, of the other financial income and expenses, of depreciation, amortization and impairments of fixed assets), excluding non-ordinary expenses and income, such as: (i) income and expenses deriving from restructuring, reorganization and business combination; (ii) clearly identified income/expenses not directly referred to the ordinary performance of the business; (iii) in addition to any income/expenses deriving from significant non-ordinary events and transactions as defined by Consob communication DEM6064293 of 28/07/2006.
  • Adjusted EBITDA Margin: the percentage of Adjusted EBITDA over total revenues.
  • Adjusted Net Result: Net Profit (Loss) before recognition of the result of companies consolidated using the equity method
  • Adjusted NFP: it is represented by the Net Financial Position (NFP) including cash and cash equivalents and all financial liabilities, restated excluding only cash and current payables related to financial investments made in accordance with Regione Lombardia's "Rolling Stock purchase programme 2017-2032", with the aim of sterilizing the timing effects of contributions collection and payments made to suppliers, recognized in accordance with IFRIC 12.
  • Rolling Stock Purchase Programme 2017-2032: On behalf of Regione Lombardia Ferrovienord is engaged in purchasing, managing, maintaining and storing new rolling stock, to be allocated to railway companies holding a service contract with the Region, with a commitment to complete the supplies by 2025. The rolling stock supply programme is covered with funds allocated by Regione Lombardia, including charges to be corresponded to Ferrovienord for the anticipation and general management costs of the order set to 1% of the train supply contract amounts (see FNM 2022 Annual Report for further details).
  • Gross CAPEX made by FNM: fixed asset and software additions, excluding investments on railway infrastructure managed on behalf on Regione Lombardia as by Programme Agreement. The balance between cash capital investments shown in the Financial Statements and Gross CAPEX is mainly represented by changes in account payables/advances to suppliers, which are reconciled under net working capital for purposes of this presentation.
  • Net CAPEX: Gross CAPEX after deducting public contributions related to the acquired assets, including investments on railway infrastructure managed on behalf on Regione Lombardia as by Programme Agreement. Capital grants - received mainly from Regione Lombardia, Regione Veneto and Ministry of Transport (MIT) - typically relate to the funding of capital investments managed by the Group for third parties or in conjunction with regulated activities. These cash flows are classified as investing activities, and accordingly reduce the overall cash outflow.
