The Chairman of Cassa Depositi e Prestiti, Giovanni Gorno Tempini, commented: "In a year marked by significant difficulties, we have achieved important results that have seen the Cassa Depositi e Prestiti Group strengthen its commitment to innovation and the competitiveness of businesses, infrastructure and the local area and promote the emergence of European champions in strategic sectors of the national economy, achieving the objectives set out in the Business Plan. The strength of our balance sheet, together with the confidence of postal savers, has allowed us to increase our role as the driving force behind the country's sustainable development, with a significant impact at an economic, social and environmental level. The support provided by the Ministry of the Economy and Finance and the bank Foundations has been fundamental in allowing us to quickly respond to the emergency caused by the pandemic and to lay the foundations for relaunching Italy".

The Chief Executive Officer of Cassa Depositi e Prestiti, Fabrizio Palermo, stated: "The year just ended saw CDP's great commitment materialise through numerous initiatives to support the Italian economy. The Group provided 39 billion euro during the critical stage of the pandemic emergency, providing support to over 100,000 businesses and 50 infrastructure projects through a technical and financial advisory service for local authorities. These results were made possible by the growth in postal savings, which reached 275 billion euro, and by new issues in the financial markets, where Italy's leadership in sustainable finance was consolidated with issues of 2.5 billion euro inspired by ESG criteria. Management indicators are increasing, with profits reaching 2.8 billion euro, testifying to the effectiveness of the new business model and management efficiency. On the strength of these results, which have been achieved thanks to the hard work and skills of the people of the CDP Group, we are renewing our commitment to the country's economic recovery".

2019-21 Business Plan Results

Two years after the launch of the Plan, CDP ends 2020 with a completely new business and operating model, enhanced economic and financial solidity and with sustainability fully integrated into its operations.

Over the past two years, CDP has revolutionised its role, transforming itself (a) from a lender to a business partner, (b) from a lender to a promoter of local/infrastructure development and an all-round partner of the public administration, (c) from a shareholder to a manager of strategic equity investments for development and (d) from a manager of public resources to an Italian institution for development cooperation.

This transformation was accompanied by a profound revision of its operating model in terms of local presence, human capital, work models and European/international positioning.

At the same time, CDP strengthened its financial soundness, closing 2020 with a growing bottom line and a stronger balance sheet and financial position, and has fully integrated sustainability into its operations.

A complete revision and expansion of the direct and indirect lending offer, maximising the use of European resources.
The main actions include: (i) Expanded and simplified the product portfolio to meet the needs of SMEs and industrial supply chains; (ii) Launched innovative lending solutions that include the use of European and regional resources, in partnership with the banking system (such as through basket bonds); (iii) Strengthened support for exports and international expansion by expanding the range of sectors served, launching financing in foreign currencies.

Infrastructures, Public Sector & Territorial Development

CDP has gone from being a lender to a promoter of territorial/infrastructure development and an all-round partner of the public administration through:

A profound revision and expansion of the products, sectors and services offered.
The main actions include: (i) Developed innovative solutions for entities such as loans for large infrastructure projects, energy bonuses and advances for settling payables to suppliers; (ii) Renegotiated 22 billion euro in mortgages held by territorial entities, with 0.8 billion euro in savings used to aid the fight against the pandemic emergency; (iii) Expanded direct and indirect financial support to all infrastructure sectors; (iv) Strengthened support for local areas through urban regeneration projects, support for social, student, and senior housing (with new resources and approaches), and 2 billion euro for upgrading hotels.
The launch of new technical support activities for the public administration and initiatives to support the energy transition.
The main actions include: (i) Created a team of CDP engineers/project managers to assist public entities in planning, designing and building infrastructure in the local area with more than 50 active technical advisory projects and over 4 billion euro in investments authorised; (ii) Established, or is in the process of establishing, 6 companies in partnership with Italy's energy/industrial champions for generating renewable energy, improving energy efficiency, reforestation, the circular economy and electric recharging infrastructure (e.g. GreenIT with Eni and RenovIT with Snam).

Revising/expanding its role as an investor.
The main actions include: (i) Defined the first equity strategy to identify key sectors and technologies and to rationalise the means of intervention; (ii) Reorganised the portfolio of asset management companies/funds and launched new private equity and venture capital funds; (iii) Reinforced its support to investee companies (defining strategies, developing commercial partnerships, selecting top management, optimising funding/financial management).

Financial statement results

CDP SpA

Regarding the income statement, the Parent Company reported net income of 2.8 billion euro, an increase on the previous year.

The increase is attributable to the improvement in the spread between interest-bearing assets and liabilities and the interest rate risk management strategies implemented which more than offset the reduction in dividends from investee companies, the write-down of a large credit exposure (prior to the COVID-19 crisis) and the absence of non-recurring positive items in 2019. Specifically:

net interest income amounted to 2.1 billion euro, an increase over 2019 as a result of the improvement in the spread between interest-bearing assets and liabilities following actions to contain the cost of funding and increase the return on loans. This was also achieved by aligning the liquidity yield with the cost and duration characteristics of the underlying liabilities;
dividends totalled 1.1 billion euro, down on 2019 mainly due to lower dividends from ENI following changes to its dividend policy;
other net revenues of 1 billion euro, up on 2019 mainly reflecting the interest rate risk management strategies implemented on the securities portfolio. These actions made it possible to stabilise the margin and rebalance the capital structure also in consideration of the extraordinary events such as the mortgage loan renegotiations with regional and local governments in response to the COVID-19 emergency;
the cost of risk was -0.3 billion euro, a deterioration compared to 2019 when it had benefited from write-backs on some credit and equity exposures. The 2020 result is mainly attributable to the value adjustment of a large credit exposure prior to the COVID-19 crisis and to the general worsening of the economic environment due to the health crisis;
staff costs and administrative expenses amounted to 0.2 billion euro, up from the 2019 figure as a result of the roll-out of the planned increase of the company's workforce. Overall, strong cost control has kept the cost/income ratio extremely low (5%, in line with 2019).

As regards the balance sheet, total assets amounted to 410 billion euro (+6% on 2019), mainly consisting of cash and cash equivalents and other treasury investments for 183 billion euro, loans for 107 billion euro, debt securities for 74 billion euro and equity investments and funds for 35.6 billion euro. Specifically:

cash and cash equivalents and other treasury investments amounted to 183 billion euro, up 7% from the year-end figure for 2019;
loans, which amounted to 107 billion euro, increased by 6% with respect to the balance at the end of 2019, mainly as a result of higher volumes of financial loans. This increase is partly attributable to the extraordinary measures implemented by CDP to deal with the COVID-19 emergency, which had a positive impact on new lending during the year;
debt securities amounted to 74 billion euro, up 4% compared to the figure recorded at the end of 2019. The portfolio mainly consists of Italian government securities and is held for investment purposes, and to stabilise gross income.
equity investments and funds amounted to 35.6 billion euro, up 4% compared to the figure recorded at the end of 2019. This increase is attributable to investments made in 2020 to support (i) businesses, through the launch of private equity and venture capital funds, support for the development plans of investee companies, and the promotion of champions in strategic sectors, and (ii) the development of infrastructure and the local area.

Funding was 378 billion euro, up 6% from the figure recorded at the end of 2019. Specifically:

postal funding amounted to 275 billion euro (+4% compared to 2019) and was the best net funding performance by CDP in the last eight years (+6 billion euro). This was partly due to the initiatives launched during the year in terms of new digital products and services, which led to strong sales growth in the online channel (+75% over 2019);
funding from banks and customers, amounting to 83 billion euro (+16% compared to 2019), was strengthened to continue the process of diversifying funding sources and supporting business lending, also in response to the COVID-19 emergency.
bond funding increased to 21 billion euro (+8% compared to 2019), with CDP confirming its role as the leader in Italy in sustainable finance through three new social issues totalling 2.5 billion euro: (i) the 1 billion COVID-19 Social Response Bond to support businesses and public administrations affected by the health emergency; (ii) the 0.75 billion euro Social Housing Bond to support social housing projects; and (iii) the 0.75 billion euro Social Bond to support Italian businesses investing in research, development and innovation and those affected by the COVID-19 emergency. In November, CDP also became the first Italian financial institution to join the Nasdaq Sustainable Bond Network.

Equity amounted to 25.5 billion euro, up +2% on 2019 thanks to solid financial results which more than offset the dividends distributed during the year.

Regarding promotional activities, the resources deployed by CDP to businesses, Infrastructures, Public Sector & Territorial Development, and international cooperation came to 21.7 billion euro, an increase of 2% over 2019.

With respect to Enterprises, 13.5 billion euro was lent to support the growth and development plans of Italian enterprises, including through the launch of extraordinary initiatives in response to the COVID-19 emergency. These include:

the creation of an operating nationwide network that, despite the difficulties associated with the COVID-19 emergency, went ahead with the opening of five offices⁵and seven new "Spazio CDP" corners in partnership with banking foundations, reinforcing the Group's proximity to the needs of local stakeholders;
a four-fold increase in direct financing transactions to businesses, from 64 in 2019 to 240 transaction in 2020, supporting a growing portfolio of businesses through innovative solutions and a complementary approach compared to the market;
the timely activation of measures to support businesses to meet liquidity needs related to the COVID-19 emergency, with 4.5 billion euro in new lending and over 20,000 businesses supported, both through the direct channel (so-called 'Covid-19 liquidity') and through the banking channel;
the development of the first national support network for start-ups through Italy's largest system of venture capital funds, with over 1 billion euro in assets and 8 funds dedicated to promoting Italian research and the growth of innovative start-ups.

Regarding Infrastructures, Public Sector & Territorial Development, 7.9 billion euro was lent and support activities for institutions and infrastructures were expanded (through advisory and promotion) and initiatives were set in motion in response to the COVID-19 emergency. These include:

the largest renegotiation of mortgage loans held by local entities in recent years, with approximately 22 billion euro of debt renegotiated, generating 0.8 billion euro in savings in 2020 for over 3,000 local entities;
cash advances to settle the payables of public administrations to businesses with the granting of 2.5 billion euro (of which over 2 billion euro from MEF resources);
technical and financial advisory services to the Public Administration to support the local entities in the planning, design, and construction of infrastructure, with the launch of numerous new projects, mainly involving school and health facilities and local public transport;
promotion of innovative projects to support the energy transition together with the Group's industrial companies (Eni and Snam) for (i) the production of energy from renewable sources (GreenIT⁶), (ii) energy efficiency with a focus on public assets (RenovIT⁷) and (iii) the decarbonisation and reforestation of public areas (Arbolia);
a constant local presence, in synergy with the banking foundations, through (i) “City Plans” for large-scale redevelopment projects in urban areas, (ii) social housing, with 2,200 new social housing units and student beds to be built in 2020, and (iii) a plan for temporary financial support to tour operators through the National Tourism Fund.

Regarding International Cooperation, 0.4 billion euro was lent by leveraging both own and third-party resources and also refocusing efforts in response to the COVID-19 emergency. These include:

new credit facilities to multilateral financial institutions to support investment projects in Africa and Latin America, including to counter Covid-19;
the debt moratorium for the most fragile countries financed by the Revolving Fund for International Cooperation & Development Finance (FRCS), launched as part of the G20 initiative to respond to the COVID-19 emergency;
entry into the "EGO" Fund (Amundi Planet - Emerging Green One), the world's largest green bond fund focused on emerging markets;
the first loans to Italian enterprises to support sustainable projects in developing countries, strengthening CDP's role as the partner of choice for Italian businesses in developing countries;
the expansion of the use of third-party resources for development cooperation through agreements under the European Union's External Investment Plan.

CDP Group

The CDP Group's consolidated financial statements include companies over which the Parent Company CDP does not exercise management and coordination (including major listed investee companies such as Eni, Poste Italiane, Snam, Terna, Italgas, Fincantieri, Saipem and WeBuild). To provide an overview of the results of CDP S.p.A. and only those of companies subject to management and coordination (the "CDP Group"), a separate consolidated operating segments report has been prepared.

The CDP Group's⁸ pre-tax net income for the year amounted to 2.5 billion euro, up significantly from 2019 (2.0 billion euro, +25%), largely as a result of the positive results of the Parent Company.

Including those companies in the scope of consolidation which are not subject to management and coordination, consolidated net income amounted to 1.2 billion euro, compared to 3.4 billion euro in 2019. The decrease is mainly attributable to the equity valuation of Eni (-2.5 billion euro in 2020).

Total consolidated assets amounted to 512 billion euro, up by 14% (63 billion euro) compared to the figure recorded at the end of the previous financial year. The main changes relate to the cash and cash equivalents, loans and receivables and securities.

Total funding stood at 417 billion euro, up by 8.1% on the end of 2019. More specifically, funding from banks grew by 25 billion euro, particularly institutional funding, while bond funding increased by 3.6%, primarily driven by new issues from CDP, Terna, and Italgas.

Consolidated equity amounted to 33.7 billion euro, of which 20.4 billion euro refers to the Group’s equity.

During the year the CDP Group granted loans⁹ for 38.6 billion euro, an increase of 4.0 billion euro over 2019.
