A net profit of 96 million euros, an increase compared to 81 in 2012. These are the numbers of Edison's 2013 financial statements, approved today by the shareholders' meeting. The good result comes thanks to the positive effect of the renegotiations of the long-term gas contracts, the contribution of the E&P activity and the significant contribution of the electricity supply chain which recorded the optimization of the management of the plant portfolio and the high level of water availability in the period .
The shareholders' meeting established the distribution of a unit dividend of 0,05 euro for each savings share, and a unit dividend of 0,011 euro for ordinary shares. The dividend for savings shares will be paid from 17 April 2014 with ex-dividend date 14 April 2014 and record date 16 April 2014.
The Assembly also has elected the board of statutory auditors, who will remain in office for three financial years and therefore until the shareholders' meeting for the approval of the financial statements as at 31 December 2016.
