EBIT totalled €2,111 million, up by €153 million, or 7.8%, compared with 2011. The increase was due mainly to higher revenue from regulated activities (+€256 million, net of components offset in costs), which were partly absorbed by the increase in amortisation, depreciation and impairment losses (-€52 million) and the increase in other costs on regulated activities (-€50 million, net of components offset in revenue), due essentially to higher provisions for risks.
The increase in EBIT reflects the improved performance of the distribution (+€138 million; +24.7%)24 and storage (+€15 million; +5.9%) business segments. EBIT generated by transportation activities fell by €2 million, or 0.2%, compared with the previous year.
ROI was 12.0% (11.8% in 2011).
24 In the consolidated financial statements, the EBIT for the natural gas distribution segment includes the positive effect of the consolidation adjustment relating to provisions for environmental expenses (€71 million) that eni repaid, net of tax effect, to Snam pursuant to contractual agreements entered into when completing the acquisition of Italgas.
