The Company BIOVALLEY INVESTMENTS PARTNER S.P.A. (abbreviated as “BIP S.P.A.”, or hereinafter referred to as the “Company”) is an enterprise part of an integrated industrial group, founded in 2016 and specialized in sale of products and services.

Key Rating Assumptions
The Company confirms the adequate economic and financial situation, characterized by solid capitalization and proper financial balance. This is accompanied by historically modest, but gradually growing, profitability. The investments made by the Company during 2022 fully absorbed the resources injected by operations and financing activities, without significantly affecting the balance of the net financial position.
The management of credit lines granted to the Company by the banking system is confirmed to be correct, with punctuality in payments and the absence of financial tension.
The system of governance and control is confirmed to be appreciable, with the collegiality of internal bodies and confirmation of the appointment of the auditing firm. The structure of the Group, albeit articulated, proves to be clear in its power relations.
Comparing the Company’s economic and financial performance with its reference peer group, it emerges that it is well-positioned in terms of size and solvency, while it remains weak in terms of ROE. The peer group expresses a solid capital endowment, while the sector expresses adequate performance in terms of liquidity and profitability.
The Italian macroeconomic situation manifests modest growth, with rising interest rates, high inflation and an unfavorable international scenario acting as factors of uncertainty. This is countered by strengthened political stability. The macroeconomic forecast data could be revised upward.
