English to Italian: results of operations
Source text - English
Our results of operations, as presented below, are based on the application of IFRS. The application of these principles often requires management to make certain judgments, assumptions and estimates that may result in different financial presentations. We believe that certain accounting principles are critical in terms of understanding our financial statements. We believe that our most critical accounting policies relate to the following factors.

Use of estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Certain accounting principles require subjective and complex judgments used in the preparation of financial statements. Accordingly, a different financial presentation could result depending on the judgment, estimates or assumptions that are used. Such estimates and assumptions, include, but are not specifically limited to: depreciation, amortization, interest rates, discount rates, future commodity prices, investment returns, impact of new accounting standards, international economic policy, future costs associated with long-term contractual obligations and future compliance costs associated with environmental regulations.

Actual results could materially differ from those estimates or assumptions. Effective January 1, 2005, the economic depreciation rates of certain assets related to power generation plants were revised in order to better reflect the estimated economic useful life of these facilities. Please see ‘‘Increased estimates of the useful lives of certain distribution assets’’ in ‘‘ Comparability of Information Regulatory and Other Developments.’’

Revenue Recognition. We usually record revenues for sales to retail and wholesale customers under the accrual method. Under both IFRS and U.S. GAAP, revenues from sales of electricity and gas to retail customers are recognized when the power and gas are provided to customers on the basis of periodic meter readings and include an estimate of the value of the power and gas consumed from the meter reading date to the end of the period. Revenues for the period after the date of the reading to the end of the period are estimated on the basis of estimates of the daily consumption of the customer based on his historical profile, adjusted to reflect weather and other factors affecting consumption.

I risultati di gestione presentati qui di seguito sono conformi ai principi contabili internazionali IFRS. Tali principi richiedono spesso, da parte della direzione aziendale, l’uso di giudizi professionali, ipotesi e stime che potranno risultare in una gamma di presentazioni a bilancio diverse. Alcuni principi contabili sono, a nostro avviso, particolarmente importanti ai fini della comprensione del nostro bilancio. In particolare, attiriamo l’attenzione sui principi contabili adottati con riferimento ai fattori elencati qui di seguito.

Uso di stime. La predisposizione di un bilancio conforme agli IFRS richiede alla direzione aziendale di formulare giudizi, stime e ipotesi che influiscono sugli importi di attività e passività presentati, sull’informativa su passività e attività potenziali alla data di riferimento del bilancio e sugli importi di costi e ricavi relativi all'esercizio di riferimento. Alcuni principi contabili prevedono la formulazione di giudizi soggettivi e complessi. L’uso di stime, ipotesi o giudizi diversi potrà produrre una diversa presentazione a bilancio della situazione patrimoniale-finanziaria e dei risultati economici. Tali stime e ipotesi riguardano, tra l’altro: l’ammortamento di attività materiali e immateriali, i tassi d’interesse e di attualizzazione, i prezzi futuri delle materie prime, il rendimento degli investimenti, l’impatto di nuovi principi contabili, gli orientamenti di politica economica a livello internazionale, i costi futuri associati a obbligazioni contrattuali di lungo termine e ad obblighi imposti dalla normativa ambientale.

I risultati effettivi potranno differire in modo significativo da tali stime e ipotesi. A decorrere dal 1° gennaio 2005, i tassi di ammortamento di alcune attività relative a impianti di generazione di energia elettrica sono stati rivisti per riflettere in maniera più fedele la durata della vita economica utile stimata di tali beni (cfr. nel prosieguo “Increased estimates of useful lives of certain distribution assets” nella sezione “Comparability of information – Regulatory and other developments.”

Rilevazione dei ricavi. Normalmente rileviamo i ricavi delle vendite ai clienti al dettaglio o all’ingrosso secondo il principio della competenza. Ai sensi degli IFRS e degli U.S. GAAP, i ricavi della vendite di energia elettrica e gas ai clienti al dettaglio sono rilevati al momento della fornitura, in base a letture periodiche, e comprendono una stima del valore dei consumi di energia elettrica e gas dalla data di lettura alla fine dell’esercizio. I ricavi tra la data di lettura e la fine dell’esercizio si basano su stime del consumo giornaliero del cliente fondate sul suo profilo storico, rettificato per riflettere le condizioni atmosferiche o altri fattori che influiscono sui consumi.
