EBITDA BREAKDOWN BY ACTIVITY

73% ebitda derived from regulated and quasi-regulated activities in 2018, 70% in 2024

24

2018 – 2024 NFP BRIDGE

The higher capital intensive investments support the growth of the operating margin

Full exploitation of the financial structure in order to accelerate the growth

The strong cash generation (roughly 1b€) allows to share the positive results with shareholders

*NFP 2018 adjusted taking into account the accounting standard IFRS 16, 2018 NFP reported at 2,453m€

NET FINANCIAL POSITION

BBB Outlook: Stable

Priority in keeping the sound investment-grade rating, also supported by a higher NFP quality thanks to OLT disposal

The optimal financial structure provides for a NFP/EBITDA ratio close to 3.0x in order to increase investments by exploiting the financial flexibility achieved

The adaptability of the investments' plan will enable to shift capex from one year to another in order not to exceed the threshold

Possibility to go above this threshold, for a short/medium term, for important M&A transactions or strategic investments

Confirmation of the dividend policy growth path despite the increase in capex

FINANCIALS

BP@2024

Iren's long term debt average maturity is 5.3 years

65% of expiring debt is going to be refinanced

EIB funds correspond to 20% of total debts

Significant reduction in cost of debt thanks to liability management operations and a favorable scenario

ECONOMIC INDICATORS

*2018: Net of white certificates sale (60m€), market accrual (41m€) and OLT participations adjustments (28m€)

The Ebit is affected by higher depreciations due to capital intensive expenditures

The Group's net profit shows a higher cagr than the previous economic indicators thanks to a sound financial policy management and a tax rate stabilization

  • Improvement in liquidity and in rating's score
  • Fire power for growth opportunities

FINANCIAL FLEXIBILITY

The Group confirms a strong financial flexibility, accepting a short-term increase in debt-to-Ebitda ratio to exploit potential extraordinary strategic opportunities

The cash generation capacity, along with the disposal of non-strategic assets (like OLT participation) and the diversified business model underlining the company, allows Iren to grasp concrete opportunities not included in the business plan:

A pool of well identified investments that can be activated within a short timeframe

Small scale M&A deals, but also larger scale ones

OTHER INVESTMENTS OPTIONS NOT INCLUDED IN BUSINESS PLAN FIGURES

1b€ of strategic investments already identified and up to 100m€ of Ebitda thanks to small M&A deals

Small companies

Favored by a market fragmentation and the experience in consolidation processes.

Large companies

Possible thanks to a scalable and reliable business model

Evaluating M&A options always comparing the trade off between opportunity and the optimization of financial structure, with the main goal of maintaining the sound investment grade

Confirming growth as our first priority, we are putting in place the actions aiming at a larger size in a more dynamic scenario

We are ready to exploit further organic investments, but also potential larger size M&A transactions not included in BP figures

Commitment confirmed in 10% DPS growth over the next 5 years
