Since the pro-forma information is based on assumptions, it must be noted that, if the Transaction had occurred on the dates used as a reference for the preparation of the pro-forma data instead of the actual dates, the historical data would not necessarily be the same as the pro-forma data. Moreover, the pro-forma data is not a projected figure and is not intended, in any way, to represent a forecast of the future results of the Post-Demerger Snam Group and of the ITG Holding Group inasmuch as it has been prepared to represent only the directly attributable and factually supportable effects of the Transaction. The summary information given below has been extracted from the pro-forma data reported in Chapters 4 and 7 of this Information Document and should be read jointly with the description of the hypotheses and criteria used for the preparation of the pro-forma data and the other information contained herein. 2 Italgas S.p.A. – Information Document Data at 31 December 2015 Consolidated financial Pro-forma data of Pro-forma data of statements Snam Group Post-Demerger Snam the Beneficiary (Euro million) (historic data) Group Company Revenue (*) 3,970 2,576 1,416 including revenues from construction and 321 321 upgrading of the distribution infrastructure, entered according to IFRIC 12 – Service Concession Arrangements EBITDA 2,799 2,052 735 EBIT 1,950 1,476 462 Pre-tax profit 1,705 1,351 352 Net profit 1,238 971 269 Net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent 1,238 971 269 company Total assets 24,880 21,251 5,553 Shareholders’ equity 7,586 6,588 1,132 Shareholders’ equity attributable to shareholders of 7,585 6,588 1,131 the parent company Net financial debt (13,779) (10,317) (3,482) Indicators per share (Euro) Net profit per share (**) 0.354 0.277 0.332 Shareholders’ equity per share (**) 2.17 1.88 1.40 Other indicators Net debt/RAB (***) 52% 49% 59% (*) Revenues include revenue from construction and upgrading of the distribution infrastructure, entered according to IFRIC 12 and posted in an amount equal to the related costs incurred (€321 million).
