Financials In the financial analysis, we looked at both situations as if Illy did not implement internationalization strategy and with its implementation.
Instead, for calculating the financials of the internationalization strategy applied we referred to balance sheets for the period 2004-2009. This calculation focuses only to analyse in details the impact of the strategy implementation over operating profits, without looking at the leverage coming from financial debts. Financials
