Net working capital (€83 million) increased by €14 million compared with 31 December 2014, owing mainly to: (i) the increase in tax receivables (+€36 million), due mainly to higher receivables from subsidiaries for group VAT related to the December payment (+€13 million) and tax credits for withholding taxes paid on foreign dividends (+€12 million); and (ii) the reduction of other liabilities (+€23 million) for lower advances for group VAT (+€20 million). These effects were partly offset by the increase in tax liabilities (-€42 million) due essentially to higher amounts owed to the Revenue Agency related to the VAT payment in December (-€31 million).

Net financial debt stood at €11,879 million at 31 December 2015, down €211 million compared with 31 December 2014 (€12,090 million). The reduction mainly relates to lower financial and bond debt (-€148 million), primarily as a result of the repayment of the outstanding bond loan with a nominal value of €750 million and the net buyback of bond loans for a nominal value of €250 million as part of the liability management operation. Their effects were partly absorbed by a new issue equal to €250 million. These factors were partly offset by loans taken out with the EIB (+€376 million) and the net utilisation of uncommitted bank credit lines (+€278 million).

Financial and bond liabilities totalling €13,792 million (€13,940 million at 31 December 2014) consisted mainly of bonds (€9.8 billion, or 71.1%), payables to banks (€2.3 billion, or 16.8%) and loan agreements concerning EIB funding (€1.6 billion, or 11.8%). The debts are fully denominated in euros, except for a fixed-rate bond loan for ¥10 billion, fully converted into euros through a cross-currency swap (CCS) financial derivative. Long-term financial debt (€11,060 million) represents around 80% of financial debt (around 85% at 31 December 2014).

The breakdown of debt by type of interest rate at 31 December 2015 is as follows:

Fixed-rate financial liabilities (€8,855 million) reduced by €824 million following the repayment of a bond with a nominal value of €750 million, including the net repurchase of bonds related to the liability management operation.

Variable-rate financial liabilities (€4,937 million) increased by €676 million compared with 31 December 2014, essentially as a result of loans taken out with the EIB (+€376 million) and net utilisation of bank credit lines (+€278 million).

The increase of financial receivables and cash and cash equivalents (€63 million) is due to higher financial receivables not held for operating activities (€64 million) resulting from increased use of current accounts of subsidiaries (+€280 million), in particular in connection with the liability management operation, partly offset by the closure and simultaneous repayment to Snam of the shareholders’ loan to the jointly controlled company TAG, as part of an operation to refinance the entire debt of TAG through the banking system (-€216 million).

42 Please see the “Financial review” section of the consolidated financial statements for a closer examination of the reclassified financial statements.

43 Moreover, as a result of the equity investment, Snam took over from Statoil in the shareholders’ loan in favour of TAP for €78 million, paid at the closing date, as well as all for the rights and commitments for carrying out the project.
