(Alliance News) - ABP Nocivelli Spa in the first half of the year reported rising profit and positive NFP cash, confirming a positive trend despite the past three difficult years especially for energy service operators, affected by rising energy and money costs.

"We will face the next financial years in a positive way, we expect stronger growths in the next three years also for all those contract acquisitions in the last six months and financed with the NFP," commented Nicola Turra, managing director of ABP Nocivelli, heard during the Next Gems event at the headquarters of Borsa Italiana in Milan, of which Alliance News is media partner.

In terms of financing with NRP funds, the company is one of the largest potential users, participating in many tenders financed in this way and especially in the healthcare world. ABP Nocivelli is already the winner of a number of community hospitals and community houses realizations especially in Lombardy and the renovation of some schools in Emilia-Romagna and Lombardy.

"We are also partners with state-owned companies that are using PNRR funds for the energy transition, and we have been awarded some tenders by Terna Spa for the construction of new cabins or the installation of electric charging stations. Everything related to this issue and to health care are opportunities that are interesting for the company. We have won a good portion of them and we hope that for the next two years they will also be an important part of the company's new portfolio," Turra added.

For the future, the company plans to continue its focus on growth through internal avenues.

"Tenders, new project finance opportunities, new proposals made by us to Public Administrations. We don't exclude the external line, but for the type of sector and activity either there are long-term concessions and then it makes sense to make investments, otherwise not having a private market and not having interest, we are more focused on internal lines."

ABP Nocivelli is involved in about a dozen new hospital construction deals with project finance that are both public and private initiatives, involve 500- or 1,000-bed hospitals, and involve the construction of the hospital and the concession for 25 years of services such as energy management and facility management of the hospital.
