In the first half of 2020 Hera continues to growth organically, leveraging on a deep-rooted “culture of efficiency”, and promptly captures the synergies from recent acquisitions, which are proving to be absolutely strategic.
This way, in the first six months of the year we have already absorbed by a comfortable margin the amount of 30 million euro that represent the total Covid-19 impact on the P&L, as shown by the EBITDA growth of 2.5%.
In the next months, with the progressive easing of restrictions that were needed in Italy to contain the virus outbreak, we will be in a position to resume both investment and marketing activities. Hera will then be able to demonstrate the full potential for profitable growth embedded in a business portfolio that has always been managed in this forward-thinking perspective.

Uncertainty and volatility are the key words that have dominated the equity markets in these times of Covid-19 pandemic. Long term sustainability and “green” agenda are the key words that have shaped the new monetary and fiscal policies in Europe.
Hera’s solid fundamentals, confirmed by half-year results, its authentic commitment to 2030 ESG goals, and the room for potential capital gain considering the mean target price of c.4 euro form the pillars of a robust investment case, which looks appealing, especially in the new scenario.
