Financial results
LNG regasification revenue amounted to €22 million, down €1 million compared with 2012. The revenue relates to the capacity fees14 (€21 million, compared with €22 million in 2012) and the variable fees associated with the volumes of LNG regasified (€1 million, unchanged compared with 2012).
EBIT amounted to €5 million, unchanged compared with 2012. The reduction in regasification revenue was fully offset by the reduction in operating costs (+€1 million, net of components offset in revenue15), due essentially to lower variable costs as a result of the reduction in volumes regasified.
14 Capacity fees include revenue related to the regasification commitment for an annual volume of LNG and a share of revenue related to the activity of docking and unloading methane tankers.
15 Costs that are offset in revenue refer mainly to costs for the transportation service provided by Snam Rete Gas that GNL charges back to its customers (€9 million and €11 million respectively in 2013 and 2012).
