Financial income amounted to euro 2,008 million in 2024, compared with euro 916 million the previous year. This sharp increase is due to dividends received from subsidiaries in 2024 for a total amount of euro 2,003 million versus euro 912 million in 2023.
Financial expenses totaled euro 129 million in 2024, compared to euro 135 million the previous year. This change is due to the decrease of depreciation & amortization that included a depreciation of long-term equity investments for euro 25 million in 2023.
Pre-tax profit was a positive euro 1,883 million for 2024, compared to euro 788 million in the previous financial year.
