Fincantieri: Dado says M&A does not hinder debt reduction

"It will pick up pace once it is completed." Positive signs in early 2026

(Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor) - The confirmation of the guidance regarding the debt-to-EBITDA ratio and financial leverage “means that these acquisitions are not compromising the debt reduction path we have set out in the business plan” but, “once consolidated”, they will accelerate it. This was stated by Fincantieri’s CFO, Giuseppe Dado, in response to a question from an analyst regarding the impact of the newly announced transactions on the plan’s debt reduction targets. Dado added that in the first six months of the year there had been “encouraging preliminary signs” of an acceleration in the debt reduction process.

The guidance announced in February estimates the net debt-to-EBITDA ratio at 2 times by the end of 2026, with the plan’s target being to bring it down to 1 times by 2030.
