- European Utilities Key Player Profile: Edison
- Key Player Scorecard examines 31 leading utilities drawn from across
Europe' s competitive arenas
- Key Players dominate power generation capacity market share in the
Wmed competitive arena
- Key Players dominate power generation output market share in the Wmed
and CEE competitive arenas
- Despite ongoing industry consolidation, in no competitive arenas do
Key Players dominate power supply volume market share
- Despite ongoing industry consolidation, in no competitive arenas do
Key Players dominate gas volume market share
- The Key Player Scorecard assesses utilities across four pillars:
Performance, Scale, Growth and Exposure
- The Performance pillar combines 5 financial metrics to measure
business performance
- The Scale pillar combines financial and operational metrics to measure
the size of a utility
- The Growth pillar measures the rate of growth of a utility' s financial
and energy resources
- The Exposure pillar combines both operational and financial
measurements of risk
- Edison scores 24.7/100 on Datamonitor' s European Utility Scorecard and
ranks 27 out of the 31 Key Players covered
- Edison underperforms the Key Player average in each of the four pillars
- Edison achieves an overall ranking of 27, with a utility score of 24.7
- Edison scores higher in Performance and Growth, but less so in
Exposure and Scale
- Edison underperforms, yet with an average level of risk
- Edison underperforms the Key Player average and the top ten utilities
in both Scale and Growth
- Edison' s Performance ranking of 25 is lifted only slightly by an above
average operating profit margin
- Edison' s weakest Performance metrics are return on fixed assets and
return on investment
- Edison underperforms the Key Player average in return on sales and
fixed assets, and operating profit margin
- Edison also scores below the Key Player average on return on
investment and energy volume
- Edison underperforms the Key Player average in Scale, with a rank of 21
- In Scale, Edison ranks 21 with a score of 1.6
- In terms of generation capacity Edison ranks 16, with 6.6 GW
- Edison' s gas supply volume is 1.25 times its power supply volume,
making it one of the most balanced integrated utilities
- Edison has a less than one percent share of Key Player power customers
- At 53 TWh, Edison ranks 13 in terms of power volume
- Edison supplies less than one percent of Key Player gas customers
- Edison lags the Key Player average in terms of gas volume, with a rank
of 14
- Edison ranks 19 and 22 in terms of revenue and net income respectively
- Edison' s low Growth ranking of 27 is due to underperformance in all but
profit growth
- Edison' s profit growth ranks 6 amongst all Key Players
- Edison' s price earnings ratio is just above the Key Player median
- From 2001 to 2005, Edison' s annual profit growth (28.6%) far exceeded
its revenue growth (8.4%)
- Edison' s operating cash flow (-55.2%) and gas supply volume (-38.1%)
have declined dramatically from 2004 to 2005
- Edison' s Exposure ranking of 22 can be attributed to high debt leverage
and very poor operating cash flow growth
- But for its gas NTR, Edison lags the Key Player average on Exposure
metrics
- Edison' s gas supply obligations outweigh its gas equity position,
resulting in a gas NTR of -85%
- Edison' s power NTR deficit of -36.6% results in a rank of 20
- Edison is more highly leveraged than many top ten utilities
- Edison has a debt to equity ratio of 154.2%
- Edison' s operating cash flow has declined at twice the rate of its
energy volume
- Edison' s operations are centred in Italy
- Gas is the main source of Edison' s power generation capacity, followed
by hydro power
- Edison' s power customers are in Italy, and the company a less than one
percent market share of Key Player power customers
- Edison focuses on large customers and wholesale markets, resulting in
a small market share of Key Player gas customers
