Costs of regulated activities
Controllable fixed costs (€460 million), comprising the sum of personnel expenses and recurring external costs, were largely unchanged compared with 2012 (€453 million).
Variable costs (€100 million) mainly reflect withdrawals from storage for gas sales carried out for balancing purposes. The €52 million increase was mainly due to more disposals carried out in 2013.
Other costs (€441 million) relate essentially to: (i) the costs of construction and upgrading of distribution infrastructure (€319 million), recorded pursuant to IFRIC 12; (ii) expenses offset in revenue primarily relating to connection costs (€53 million); (iii) concession charges relating to natural gas distribution concessions (€49 million); and (iv) charges for redundancy incentives pursuant to Law 223/91 (€26 million).
Costs of non-regulated activities
Non-regulated operating costs (€44 million) decreased by €74 million, mainly reflecting reduced withdrawals from storage, due to disposals of assets no longer used for transportation activities (-€89 million).
Regulated and non-regulated costs for 2013, excluding special items and components offset in revenue, came to €561 million, down €70 million, or 11.1%, on 2012. The decrease mainly reflects a reduced allocation to provisions for risks and charges (-€50 million).
