To assess the Moody’s adjusted leverage trend for A2A Energia S.p.A. (a subsidiary of A2A S.p.A.) from 2021 to 2022, we analyze the relationship between financial debt and earnings (EBITDA). 1. **Debt Levels**: "Other Noncurrent Financial Liabilities" increased significantly from 4,322,000,000 EUR in 2021/2022 to 5,867,000,000 EUR in 2023. Additionally, "Other Current Financial Liabilities" increased from 746,000,000 EUR to 1,022,000,000 EUR. Total financial debt (Noncurrent + Current financial liabilities) rose from approximately 5.07 billion EUR to 6.89 billion EUR. 2. **Earnings (EBITDA)**: The "Gross Operating Income EBITDA" showed a modest increase from 1,428,000,000 EUR (2021-2022) to 1,505,000,000 EUR (2022-2023). 3. **Trend Analysis**: The pace of debt accumulation significantly outstripped the growth in operational earnings. The ratio of financial debt to EBITDA (a proxy for leverage) increased markedly, as the debt burden grew by roughly 36% while EBITDA grew by only about 5%. Because the increase in debt is disproportionately higher than the increase in operating cash flow, the credit leverage profile has weakened compared to the previous year. Deteriorating
