In 2019, net financial expenses decreased by EUR 96 million year-on-year, mainly due to dividend income from investments, while 2018 included financial charges of EUR 46 million related to bonds redemptions. Net interest expense in 2019 was EUR 12 million higher than in 2018, mainly due to interest expense of EUR 20 million on lease liabilities recorded in 2019 following the adoption of IFRS 16.

In 2018, net financial expenses were EUR 213 million, which was EUR 76 million higher than in 2017. Other financial expenses included financial charges related to the early redemption of USD bonds of EUR 46 million. Net interest expense in 2018 was EUR 25 million lower than in 2017, mainly due to lower interest expenses on pensions and lower interest expenses on net debt^*).
