Total Current Assets

In 2014 Current Assets amounted to $ 4,240 million, decreasing by 10.5% compared to 2015, when totalled $ 4,739 million. Average days receivables in 2015 amounted to 43, as the company

cashed in its invoices after an average of 35 days.

Financial Debt & solvency

Debt to Equity ratio in 2015 was 2.02, resulting from Debt of $ 6,362 million and Equity of $ 3,149 million. The debt capital borrowed by the company is much higher than Equity capital invested by shareholders. Such a Debt to Equity ratio level is deemed to be unsatisfactory. A strategy should be implemented to reduce this ratio, to prevent debt service issues. D/E ratio was roughly unchanged (0.33 absolute variation) compared with the previous year, when it was 1.69. Such a stable D/E ratio resulted despite a significant growth in Debt and a decline in Equity. Specifically, Debt increased from $ 5,806 million in 2014 to $ 6,362 million in 2015 (9.6% variation), while Equity dropped from $ 3,428 million to $ 3,149 million (-8.1% variation). In 2013 the ratio was 1.60. The Net Debt to Equity ratio in 2015 was 1.51, resulting from Net Debt of $ 4,750 million and Equity of $ 3,149 million. Such a level of the ratio is deemed to be very unsatisfactory. Net Debt/Equity was roughly unchanged (0.48 absolute variation) compared with the previous year, when it was 1.03. Such a stable Net Debt/Equity resulted despite a substantial growth in Net Debt and a decline in Equity. Specifically, Net Debt increased from $ 3,540 million in 2014 to $ 4,750 million in 2015 (34.2% variation), while Equity dropped from $ 3,428 million to $ 3,149 million (-8.1% variation). In 2013 the ratio was 0.92. EBIT to Interest coverage ratio in 2015 was 1.79, given by an EBIT of $ 673 million and finance charges of $ 375 million. Such a level of the ratio is deemed to be unsatisfactory. The income from operating activities is sufficient to service the debt, but a careful monitoring of the situation is however recommended. EBIT on Interest Expense was roughly unchanged (-0.01 absolute variation) compared with the previous year, when it was 1.81. Such a stable ratio resulted from EBIT staying roughly constant, while interest expense grew significantly. Specifically, EBIT changed from $ 646 million in 2014 to $ 673 million in 2015 (4.2% variation), while interest expense increased from $ 357 million to $ 375 million (5.0% variation). In 2013 the ratio was 2.43.

Profitability analysis

Return on Equity in 2015 was 13.9%, given by Net Profit of $ 438 million and book value of Equity of $ 3,149 million. Such a ROE level is deemed to be less than satisfactory. ROE was roughly unchanged (-1.3% absolute variation) compared with the previous year, when it was 15.2%. Such a stable ROE resulted despite a significant decline both in Profit and Equity. Specifically, Profit decreased from $ 521 million in 2014 to $ 438 million in 2015 (-15.9% variation), while the book value of Equity changed from $ 3,428 million to $ 3,149 million (-8.1% variation). In 2013 the ratio was 17.7%. Return on Assets in 2015 was 2.5%, given by Net Profit of $ 438 million and Total Assets of $ 17,591 million. Such a ROA level is deemed to be less than satisfactory. ROA was roughly unchanged (-0.6% absolute variation) compared with the previous year, when it was 3.1%. Such a stable ROA resulted despite a significant decline in Net Profit and a growth in Assets. Specifically, Net Profit dropped from $ 521 million in 2014 to $ 438 million in 2015 (-15.9% variation), while Total Assets increased from $ 16,642 million to $ 17,591 million (5.7% variation).

2011 2012 2013 2014 2015

Retained Earnings/Total Assets 10.2% 10.7% 10.1% 9.3% 8.6%

Retained Earnings is a balance sheet account which records the total amount of profits (or losses) made by a firm over its entire life, net of the dividends paid. The age of a firm is implicitly considered in this ratio. For example, a relatively young firm is likely to show a low RE/TA ratio because it has not had time to build up its cumulative profits. Retained Earnings to Total Assets measures the leverage of a firm because it refers to the company's ability to build up assets through retained earnings. The ratio in 2015 was 8.6% and remained virtually unchanged compared with the previous year, when it amounted to %4%.

Current Assets/Current Liabilities 1.57 1.78 1.71 1.68 1.38

Current ratio indicates the company's ability to cover its short-term liabilities using short-term assets (i.e. the assets that turn into cash quickly).

Range Significance

Current ratio > 2 Good position

1 < Current ratio < 2 Average position

Current ratio < 1 Critical position

The Current Ratio in 2015 was 1.38 and remained unchanged compared to the previous year. Since the Working Capital is the difference between current assets and current liabilities, a current ratio (or working capital ratio) higher than 1 indicates that the company has a positive working capital. The analysis therefore highlights a relatively stable financial position, since current assets are sufficient to cover current liabilities.

Range Significance

Quick ratio > 100% Good position

60% < Quick ratio < 100% Average position

Quick ratio < 60% Critical position

The Quick Ratio in 2015 was 79.0% and was worse than in the previous year, when it amounted to 105.9% (a -27.0% variation). The analysis highlights a relatively stable financial position since cash, cash equivalents, trade and other receivables are sufficient to cover current liabilities.

Cash ratio 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015

Cash and Cash equivalents/Current Liabilities 0.89 1.05 1.02 0.81 0.53

Range Significance

Ratio > 0.75 Very good position

0.30 < Ratio < 0.75 Satisfactory position

Ratio < 0.30 Critical position

The Cash ratio in 2015 was 0.53 and remained unchanged compared to the previous year. The analysis highlights a relatively stable financial position since cash and cash equivalents, are barely sufficient to cover current liabilities.

Debt to Equity ratio 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015

Financial Debt/Equity 1.22 1.35 1.60 1.69 2.02

Debt to Equity ratio compares the financial resources provided by debtholders with those provided by the shareholders. This ratio is used to monitor the company's financial risk.

Range Significance

D/E < 0.30 Strong position

0.30 < D/E < 2 Average position

D/E > 2 Critical position

Debt to Equity ratio in 2015 was 2.02, resulting from Debt of $ 6,362 million and Equity of $ 3,149 million. The debt capital borrowed by the company is much higher than Equity capital invested by shareholders. Such a Debt to Equity ratio level is deemed to be unsatisfactory. A strategy should be implemented to reduce this ratio, to prevent debt service issues. D/E ratio was roughly unchanged (0.33 absolute variation) compared with the previous year, when it was 1.69. Such a stable D/E ratio resulted despite a significant growth in Debt and a decline in Equity. Specifically, Debt increased from $ 5,806 million in 2014 to $ 6,362 million in 2015 (9.6% variation), while Equity dropped from $ 3,428 million to $ 3,149 million (-8.1% variation).

EBIT to Interest coverage ratio in 2015 was 1.79, given by an EBIT of $ 673 million and finance charges of $ 375 million. Such a level of the ratio is deemed to be unsatisfactory. The income from operating activities is sufficient to service the debt, but a careful monitoring of the situation is however recommended. EBIT on Interest Expense was roughly unchanged (-0.01 absolute variation) compared with the previous year, when it was 1.81. Such a stable ratio resulted from EBIT staying roughly constant, while interest expense grew significantly. Specifically, EBIT changed from $ 646 million in 2014 to $ 673 million in 2015 (4.2% variation), while interest expense increased from $ 357 million to $ 375 million (5.0% variation).

Operating Cash-flow to Interest coverage ratio in 2015 was 0.04, given by an Operating Cash-flow of $ 15 million and finance charges of $ 375 million. Such a level of the ratio is deemed to be very unsatisfactory, as the cash-flow from operating activities is barely sufficient to service the debt. The analysis shows the existence of financial tensions, which are likely to require interventions. Operating Cash-flow on Interest Expense was roughly unchanged (-0.01 absolute variation) compared with the previous year, when it was 0.05. Such a stable ratio resulted despite a significant decline in Operating Cash-flow and a growth in interest expense. Specifically, Operating Cash-flow dropped from $ 19 million in 2014 to $ 15 million in 2015 (-21.1% variation), while interest expense increased from $ 357 million to $ 375 million (5.0% variation).

Operating Cash-flow/Non-current Financial Liabilities 0.01 0.01 0.00 0.00 0.00

Operating Cash-flow to Long-term Debt ratio measure the company's ability to generate cash from operating actvities in order to pay back its non-current financial debt.

Range Significance

Ratio > 0.35 Very good position

0.25 < Ratio < 0.35 Satisfactory position

0.20 < Ratio < 0.25 Critical position

Ratio < 0.20 Very risky position

Operating Cash-flow to Long-term Debt in 2015 was 0.00, given by an Operating Cash-flow of $ 15 million and long-term financial liabilities totalling $ 5,363 million. Such a level of the ratio is deemed to be very unsatisfactory. Operating Cash-flow on Long-term Debt was roughly unchanged (0.00 absolute variation) compared with the previous year, when it was 0.00. Such a stable ratio resulted despite a substantial decline in Operating Cash-flow and a growth in Long-term Debt. Specifically, Operating Cash-flow dropped from $ 19 million in 2014 to $ 15 million in 2015 (-21.1% variation), while Long-term Debt increased from $ 4,894 million to $ 5,363 million (9.6% variation). In 2013 the ratio was 0.00.

Altman's model Main variables 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015

T1 Working Capital/Total Assets 0.09 0.12 0.11 0.12 0.07

The Working Capital to Total Assets ratio compares the net liquid assets of the firm to Total Assets. Working Capital is the difference between current assets and current liabilities, so the Working Capital to Total Assets ratio determines the short-term company's solvency. The Working Capital to Assets ratio in 2015 amounted to 6.7%, which was virtually unchanged compared with the previous year, when it was 11.6% (an absolute variation of -4.9%).

T2 Retained Earnings/Total Assets 0.10 0.11 0.10 0.09 0.09

Retained Earnings is a balance sheet account which records the total amount of profits (or losses) made by a firm over its entire life, net of the dividends paid. The age of a firm is implicitly considered in this ratio. For example, a relatively young firm is likely to show a low RE/TA ratio because it has not had time to build up its cumulative profits. Retained Earnings to Total Assets measures the leverage of a firm because it refers to the company's ability to build up assets through retained earnings. The ratio in 2015 was 8.6% and remained virtually unchanged compared with the previous year, when it amounted to %4%.

T3 EBIT/Total Assets 0.10 0.07 0.05 0.04 0.04

Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) to Total assets ratio is a measure of the economic productivity of the firm's assets, independently of tax and financial leverage. The EBIT to Total Assets ratio in 2015 was 0.04, remaining roughly unchanged compared with the previous year, when it amounted to 0.04 (a -1.4% variation).

T4 Equity market value/Total Liabilities 0.53 0.49 0.44 0.38 0.32

The Market value of Equity to Total Liabilities ratio measures financial leverage using Equity at market price, rather than at book value. In 2015 the ratio was 0.32, worse than the previous year, when it amounted to 0.38 (a -17.7% variation).

T5 Sales/Total Assets 0.45 0.43 0.40 0.41 0.37

The Sales to Total Assets ratio, also known as Asset turnover ratio, measures the capacity of the company to generate sales using its assets (an asset efficiency metric). In 2015 the Asset turnover was 0.37, due to sales of $ 6,437 million and to Total Assets of $ 17,591 million. The ratio was worse, compared with the previous year, when it amounted to 0.41 (a -11.0% variation).

Change n.a. -6.6% -13.6% -4.3% -15.0% Z-Score is a financial metric developed by Edward l. Altman to predict the probability that a firm will undergo bankruptcy within the next few years. It is calculated as a linear combination of five common business ratios, weighted by coefficients. In this software, if the "Market value of the Equity" is unknown, it is replaced by the book value of Equity.

In 2002, Altman advocated a revised Z-Score formula for private companies, which uses different weights and the book value of Equity instead of the market capitalization. It is calculated as a linear combination of five common business ratios, weighted by different coefficients to the ones used in Altman's original Z-Score.

Edward Altman originally developed the Z-Score for manufacturers, primarily because those were the companies in his original sample. However, the emergence of large, public service companies prompted him to develop a second Z-Score model for non-manufacturing companies. The formula remains essentially the same, except that it excludes the last component (Sales/Total Assets) because Altman wanted to minimize the effects of manufacturing-intensive asset turnover.

The following interventions are recommended:

ROCE is critically low, indicating poor profitability of the ordinary business activities. Based on the ROCE breakdown formula, ROCE is not satisfactory due to a poor production efficiency (measured by Asset turnover), despite a good sales profitability (measured by EBIT margin). An improvement in production efficiency is required.

The following measures are recommended: Debt (book value) is excessively high compared to Equity. This is likely to lead to a bad corporate credit rating and a consequent shortage of financing sources. A capital increase should be considered. Leverage ratio is critically high. This indicates that the company may have an unbalanced financial structure, where Liabilities are excessively high compared to Equity.
