2020 saw RFI deal with the dramatic effects of the Covid 19 pandemic, achieving, for the 14th consecutive year, a positive net result of €38 million, extremely low compared to the previous year (87% less than in 2019), while maintaining its role as the leading investment company in Italy, contributing a volume of around €4.2 billion.
EBIT decreased, as a result of the fall in revenues, to €71 million with an EBIT Margin of 2.85%, while EBITDA stood at €333 million with an EBITDA Margin of 13.36%.
Operating revenues amounted to €2,492 million, down 10% compared to the previous year; operating expenses, amounting to €2,159 million, decreased by €135 million (-6% vs 2019).
These results are particularly significant in light of the scenario in which the Company operated during the year, characterised by a high degree of uncertainty generated by the pandemic, the resulting lockdown and the continuation of the emergency situation.
The high level of financial soundness remained almost unchanged, thanks to equity of over €33.7 billion (unchanged compared 2019).
