EBIT amounted to € 2.8 million (€ 2.9 million on 30th June 2017), profit before tax is € 2.5 million, accounting for 9.57% of the value of production. Shareholders' equity amounts to € 15.1 million, in line with the figure from 31st December 2017, and the Net Financial Position is € 5.8 million (€ 5.9 million from 31st December 2017). "The results achieved in the first half of 2018 - comments Fabio Massimo Bombacci, president and CEO of the company - are important from different points of view. First of all, the increase in turnover of over 13% compared to the first half of 2017 and the consolidation of the equity structure, which, in addition to being in line with the figure at the end of 2017, remains characterised by a low level of debt with respect to the investments made, allowing us to support the group's development activities both with liquid assets present today, amounting to over 14 million euros, and through the use of financial leverage. The group's business areas all recorded positive performances in the first half of 2018, both in terms of revenues and margins, although this trend was partly influenced by the different methods of accounting for the energy efficiency certificates required through the adoption of the accounting principles IAS / IFRS. We have also implemented an area dedicated to energy trading and strengthened the group's commercial structure in view of the objectives and challenges that await us in the near future."
