Core business revenue generated in 2012 (€3,730 million) rose by €191 million, 5.4% above the 2011 figure, and by €226 million, or 7.1%, net of the effects of applying IFRIC 12 (€325 million and €360 million in 2012 and 2011 respectively). The increase is due to the greater revenue from regulated activities recorded in all of the main sectors of operation.

Revenue from the transportation segment20 (€1,916 million) mainly relates to fees paid for natural gas transportation services (€1,902 million) and decreased by €29 million compared with 2011. The increase in transportation revenue (+€35 million) was partly absorbed by lower revenue arising from the chargeback to Group companies of costs incurred for services rendered until 31 December 2011 by Snam Rete Gas (-€55 million). Note that, from 1 January 2012, with the entry into force of the Group’s new ownership structure, these services are carried out by parent company Snam and, therefore, the revenue and relative costs arising from management of these activities are attributed to the corporate segment.

Revenue from the regasification segment (€34 million) refers to the fee for the LNG regasification service (€23 million, unchanged from 2011) carried out at the Panigaglia (SP) LNG terminal and to the chargebacks of expenses relating to the natural gas transportation service provided by Snam Rete Gas S.p.A. (€11 million, in line with 2011).

Storage revenue of €401 million21 mainly consists of fees for storage services, of which €335 million and €61 million relate to modulation storage and strategic storage respectively. The increase of €29 million compared with 2011 is due essentially to the contribution of investments made in 2010 (+€26 million) and to tariff updating mechanisms (+€3 million), the effects of which were partly absorbed by the reduction in the volumes of gas moved (-€5 million).

Revenue from the natural gas distribution segment of €1,434 million mainly relates to fees for the natural gas distribution service (€1,073 million) and to revenue pursuant to IFRIC 12 generated by the construction and upgrading of distribution infrastructure associated with concession agreements (€325 million). The increase of €170 million, net of the effects of IFRIC 12, is attributable mainly to the positive impact of Electricity and Gas Authority Resolutions 315/2012/R/gas and 450/2012/R/gas22, which amended some of the tariff determination criteria for the third regulatory period, specifically by eliminating the effects of the ‘gradual’ mechanism for 2009, 2010 and 2011 (+€143 million).
