Key Rating Assumptions
The economic and financial situation of TREMAGI SRL is improving, with increased risk coverage by shareholder funds and expanding margins. The liquidity management appears correct from a static perspective, with a strengthened current ratio. From a dynamic point of view, a balanced cash flow is noted, thanks to the new resources raised from the financial system that independently cover the investments made. The short-term financial resources cover in turn the absorption of resources generated by the working capital, which does not affect the significant operating flow.
The management of existing credit lines appears correct, as highlighted by the timely payments and the absence of financial tension.
The governance and control structure reflect the best practices, featuring an internal control body in collegial form flanked by an external control body. The certification of the financial statements is entrusted to an auditing firm. In addition, the Company also has a supervisory body as per ex-231/2001 regulation. The group structure is articulated but clear in roles and relationships.
When compared to the peer group, the Company's positioning is close to the 60th percentile in terms of size, while it perfectly aligns with the 60th percentile in terms of solvency. The benchmark peer group expresses adequate performances across all areas of analysis considered.
The Italian energy sector is going through a period of high uncertainty, characterized by geopolitical tensions and high inflation. However, the overall state of health of the sector improved in recent months, suggesting a medium/long-term outlook in recovery. The macroeconomic framework for Italy projects modest growth in 2023, mainly driven by the investments operated thanks to the EU funds. However, the macroeconomic forecasts could be revised upward.
