Main consolidated economic and financial data
- Revenues: 64,985 million euros (80,327 million euros in 2019, -19.1%)
- the change is primarily attributable to the End-user Markets as a result of the decline of gas and electricity sales in Italy and Spain, mainly reflecting the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, to the activities of Thermal Generation and Trading in Italy due to a decrease in trading activities and to the adverse exchange rate developments in Latin America
- Ordinary EBITDA: 17,940 million euros (17,905 million euros in 2019, +0.2%)
- a slight increase compared to 2019 thanks to the positive change in Generation, mainly Enel Green Power, which more than offset the negative changes in Infrastructure and Networks and End-user markets
- EBITDA: 16,816 million euros (17,704 million euros in 2019, -5.0%)
- EBIT: 8,368 million euros (6,878 million euros in 2019, +21.7%)
- the increase is mainly attributable to higher value adjustments carried out in 2019 compared to 2020, whose effects were partially offset by higher writedowns on trade receivables in 2020
- Group net ordinary income: 5,197 million euros (4,767 million euros in 2019, +9.0%)

- Group net income: 2,610 million euros (2,174 million euros in 2019, +20.1%)
- Mainly due to higher value adjustments made in 2019 due to an improvement in financial management and to lower non-controlling interests
- Net financial debt: 45,415 million euros (45,175 million euros at the end of 2019, +0.5%)
- a slight increase due to investments in the period and the acquisition of additional interests in the share capital of Enel Américas and Enel Chile
- Capital expenditure: 10,197 million euros (9,947 million euros in 2019, +2.5%)
- the increase is mainly attributable to growth in capital expenditure in Enel Green Power, in Infrastructure and Networks and in Enel X
- The total dividend proposed for the entire 2020 financial year is equal to 0.358 euros per share (of which 0.175 euros per share already paid as an interim payment in January 2021) up 9.1% on the total dividend of 0.328 euros per share recognized for the full 2019 financial year
