Half Year 2026 Snam SpA Earnings Call Transcript
Key Points
- Adjusted EBITDA increased 9% year-on-year to EUR1.572 billion, driven by organic growth and larger perimeter.
- Adjusted net income rose 3% year-on-year to EUR733 million, excluding one-off deflator effects.
- Strong progress on strategic projects, including 90% completion of Adriatic Line Phase 1 and 40% forward capacity sold for Ravenna LNG terminal.
- Storage levels reached 70% of capacity, well above European average, with 90% winter target already secured.
- Credit profile improved with Moody's upgrade to Baa1 and S&P outlook revised to stable.
- Net debt increased to EUR18.8 billion from EUR17.5 billion at end-2025, driven by investments and OLT acquisition.
- Higher depreciation and amortization (EUR45 million) and net financial expenses weighed on net income growth.
- Regulatory consultation for seventh gas-transport period includes potential gearing increase and WIP remuneration changes, creating uncertainty.
- Geopolitical volatility and potential escalation in Middle East conflict could disrupt physical gas flows and increase price volatility.
- Italian associate EMG was directly impacted by conflict in Iran, though flows have since resumed.
