The priority order should be **B, C, A**.

**1) Entity B — Enel SpA: highest priority**

Enel is the clearest first-call candidate for a hybrid transaction.

- **Existing hybrid programme and refinancing logic:** Enel already has a sizeable stock of perpetual hybrid capital: “Equity Instruments Perpetual Hybrid Bonds” of **€5.567bn** at 2023 year-end, after issuing **€3.181bn** in 2021. It also paid hybrid coupons of **€123m** in 2022. This shows that hybrids are already an accepted and recurring part of Enel’s capital structure and investor base.
- **Very large funding and leverage need:** Total assets are **€219.6bn**, liabilities **€177.5bn**, and equity **€42.1bn**. Borrowings are very substantial: long-term borrowings of **€68.2bn**, short-term borrowings of **€18.4bn**, and current portion of long-term borrowings of **€2.8bn**. Hybrid issuance can therefore materially support adjusted leverage and rating headroom.
- **Deteriorating / pressured credit profile:** Equity attributable to owners declined from **€29.7bn** to **€28.7bn**, while long-term borrowings increased sharply from **€54.5bn** to **€68.2bn**. Net profit attributable to owners fell from **€3.189bn** to **€1.682bn**, affected by discontinued operations. This points to pressure on credit metrics and rating headroom.
- **Strong suitability category:** Enel is a large investment-grade utility with visible cash flows, demonstrated capital markets access, major capex/funding needs, and a proven hybrid track record. This fits the **Strongly Suitable** definition best among the three.

**2) Entity C — Terna SpA: second priority**

Terna is also a strong hybrid candidate, but slightly behind Enel because the immediate evidence of refinancing pressure is less compelling and its hybrid programme is newer/smaller.

- **Highly suitable business profile:** Terna is a regulated electricity transmission infrastructure company. It has very visible cash flows and is backed by a strategic infrastructure role in Italy, with CDP-linked ownership. This places it firmly within the **Strongly Suitable** universe.
- **Recent hybrid issuance:** Terna issued **€989m** of perpetual hybrid/equity instruments in 2022 and paid/payable hybrid coupon of **€21.1m**. This proves market access and investor acceptance.
- **Meaningful leverage and capex rationale:** Terna has significant infrastructure assets and capex: PPE of **€16.2bn**, operating cash flow of **€2.324bn**, and investing cash outflow of **€1.855bn**, including **€1.492bn** of PPE purchases. Long-term borrowings are **€8.417bn**, with current long-term borrowings of **€1.909bn**. Hybrid capital can support balance sheet metrics while funding the grid investment programme.
- **Improved but still relevant leverage support:** Equity increased strongly from **€4.713bn** to **€6.169bn**, largely helped by the hybrid issue. This suggests the hybrid has already been used to improve credit metrics. A further transaction could be justified, but the immediate urgency appears lower than Enel’s larger refinancing and leverage context.

**3) Entity A — A2A / A2A Energia facts: third priority**

A2A is a reasonable but lower-priority candidate.

- **Suitable sector, but less direct hybrid evidence:** A2A is an Italian utility/energy group with visible infrastructure-like cash flows, so the sector is relevant for hybrid issuance. However, unlike Enel and Terna, the provided facts do not show an existing hybrid instrument or a recent hybrid coupon/payment.
- **Leverage has increased:** Other noncurrent financial liabilities rose from **€4.322bn** to **€5.867bn**, and current financial liabilities rose from **€746m** to **€1.022bn**. Total liabilities increased from **€13.69bn** to **€16.90bn**, while equity increased only modestly from **€4.303bn** to **€4.467bn**. A hybrid could therefore help adjusted leverage.
- **But urgency is weaker:** EBITDA rose from **€1.428bn** to **€1.505bn**, operating profit rose slightly, operating cash flow improved to **€1.260bn**, and free cash flow turned positive at **€118m**. Although leverage is higher, the metrics do not show the same degree of immediate rating-pressure or refinancing need as Enel.
- **Likely marginal-to-strong but behind peers:** A2A could be considered suitable due to its utility profile and funding needs, but absent a clear hybrid refinancing event or existing hybrid programme, it is less actionable than Enel and Terna.
