The official announcement is still missing, which will arrive in the context of the meeting scheduled for next April 29, but then Now the games are done: top management confirmed. The syndicate pact of the Bolognese company, which represents 46% of the share capital and brings together 111 public shareholders, filed today, April 8, the list for the renewal of the board of directors which will take place at the end of the month. As anticipated by FIRSTonline, the list reconfirms the president Tomaso Tommasi di Vignano and Stefano Venier in their roles as executive chairman and chief executive officer of Hera for the next three years.
As for the other names, there is also one of the candidates for the board Monica Mondardini, current CEO of Cir. Finally, the list includes Gabriele Giacobazzi, Fabio Bacchilega, Danilo Manfredi, Lorenzo Minganti, Manuela Rescazzi, Marina Vignola, Alessandro Melcarne and Federica Seganti.
But the confirmation of top management is not the only news arriving today from Hera. In the 2019 financial statements, the Bolognese multiutility provides that the coronavirus emergency has an impact on Ebitda 2020 of a few percentage points. “Depending on the persistence of the crisis situation, i.e. ending by May or July 2020, it is reasonable to foresee an impact on the group's Ebitda limited to a few percentage points, such as to affect only a part of the growth forecast for 2020, also due to the fact that approximately half of the Ebitda itself is generated by regulated activities that operate on recognized revenues”.
As regards instead the possible effects on the net financial position, these can be estimated in a potential worsening indicatively between 3% and 4%.
The company underlines how it has made its estimates "taking into consideration a necessarily short-term scenario": in any case "Group management believes it has adequate resources to deal with the above scenarios predictable today".
