WHAT AM I ABOUT TO INVEST IN?

The company PB Invest S.r.l. is requesting a minimum financing of €100,000 (with a maximum of €120,000) to install two rooftop photovoltaic systems with a total capacity of 101.2 kWp. The systems will be installed at two agricultural companies, one located in Cicala and the other in Gimigliano, both in the province of Catanzaro (CZ).

HOW IS THE INVESTMENT REPAYED?

The project is based on a form of contract called "Operating Lease". It is a particular form of rental contract through which a company has the possibility to use an asset, in this specific case a photovoltaic system, for a specified period of time by paying a periodic lease fee. Unlike a financial lease, however, the contract may also include design, installation, and maintenance expenses, as well as insurance coverage. Therefore, operating lease is the ideal solution for SMEs that want to pay for "pay for use" without being concerned about ownership of the asset, achieving immediate savings. It is also an interesting solution for the supplier, who has the possibility to offer their customers access to a practical and fast installment payment plan. At the end of the contract, it is possible to decide whether to replace the equipment with a new product, extend the lease at a reduced price, or purchase the asset itself. In this case, the contracts provide for a lease fee for a duration of 7 years. The company's annual net return on investment (ROI) is expected to be in a range of 8.32% in the most favorable case and 7.93% in the least favorable case.

QUALITATIVE SCORING AND FINANCIAL SCORING

ENERSCORE+ & EASYSCORE EXPERT INTEGRATED

Ener2Crowd provides an initial qualitative parameter called «EnerScore+», which is assigned to each individual investment proposal. This parameter defines a SCORING that objectively, comprehensively, and understandably summarizes all the data characterizing the project from a technical point of view, including an ESG assessment expressed in CLASSES, and a review of the activated SDG (Sustainable Development Goals) parameters.

A specific Financial Rating called «Easyscore Expert Integrated» is issued, resulting from the credit analysis carried out by EasyFintech, which verifies the reliability and solidity of the creditworthiness of the Company owning the project. EasyFintech S.r.l. is a company that acts as a reseller of commercial information with License art. 134 TULPS Prefecture of Milan prot. n. 14795/12B15E dated 31/01/2020.

In the case of the project proposed by PB Invest S.r.l., the resulting EnerScore+ is 4.63, therefore assigned an ENERSCORE+ CCC, while the Easyscore Expert Integrated is rated 8 - HIGH RISK.

INTEREST RATE DEFINITION

In recent months, the global socio-economic context has led to a significant increase in inflation, which is the prolonged increase in the average level of prices for goods and services. The ECB has therefore predicted an increase in mortgage and loan rates with the aim of preserving the purchasing power of consumers. The increase in central rates is a macroeconomic policy to counter inflation: the objective of raising rates is to reduce purchasing power by reducing available liquidity for both individuals and companies, to slow down the economy and prevent a continuous unchecked rise in prices. In June 2024, after 5 years, the ECB made an initial rate cut of 0.25 percentage points based on macroeconomic estimates, opening up new scenarios in the financial market.

INDEXING TO EURIRS AND EURIBOR INDICES

Just as banks determine the interest rate applied to loans, in this case, the interest rate is tied to the indices. EURIRS (in the case of fixed rates) and EURIBOR (in the case of variable rates).

THE LOCATION OF THE INTERVENTION

The installation of the two photovoltaic systems will be carried out on the roofs of two farms, one located in Cicala and the other in Gimigliano, both in the Province of Catanzaro (CZ).

PB INVEST S.R.L.

LOGO


PB Invest S.r.l. is a company active in the construction sector, specializing in both small and large energy efficiency renovations and redevelopment, where it acts as General Contractor. PB Invest is part of a group of companies linked by majority and minority holdings to the entrepreneur Pierluigi Benemerito:

ENERSCORE

The company and its group of companies operate in the Green Economy sector, carrying out management activities, direct and indirect interventions in the real estate sector for the redevelopment and energy efficiency of buildings, and in the renewable energy sector.

The analysis of the Company proposed for the funding collection is the result of the Report issued by EasyFintech S.r.l. - License art. 134 TULPS Prefecture of Milan protocol no. 14795/12B15E of 31/01/2020 - based on calculators from available databases such as Crif, CriBis, CeBi, Cerved, Dun & Bradstreet, InfoCamere, and other financial scoring tools that combine traditional analysis (economic-financial, trend, reputational) with statistical methods based on Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Data Analysis.

PB Invest S.r.l. is a company headquartered in Milan, established in 2021 with ATECO code 41.1, whose primary corporate purpose is “the development of real estate projects without construction […]”.

The Company has filed three financial statements for 2021, 2022, and 2023, but the analyses below were conducted based on the 2022 financial statement since the 2023 statement was not yet available in the databases at the time of the analyses, as a variable period is required before the latest financial statement is registered in the databases of the main financial reporting systems.

The company is managed by Pierluigi Benemerito and Gennaro Di Fiore, with no previous negative records.

The analysis methodology used includes the calculation of a synthetic risk indicator, called the Easyscore Integrated by EasyFintech S.r.l., obtained through a proprietary algorithm that integrates and synthesizes three partial scores (Easyscore Expert, CeBi Score 4, and CR Score). The Easyscore Integrated by EasyFintech places the company in an area corresponding to the assessment of “High Risk” . Below is a summary of the analyses of the other partial scores:

  • Cribis D&B Rating: assesses the company’s financial solvency and commercial reliability through the calculation of the Cribis D&B Rating (Failure score, Delinquency score, Paydex Cribis D&B, negative events). PB Invest S.r.l. received a Cribis Rating of “3” with a "higher than average risk of closure";
  • CeBi Score 4: The CeBi calculations provide the Probability of Default (PD) calculation through a certified algorithm used in the banking world, as part of scoring models and internal rating systems (so-called Internal Rating Based) used by Italian Credit Institutions. The scores evaluate the company's economic and financial solidity, placed in its current and prospective economic system. The analysis of the balance sheet as of 31-12-2022 under the insolvency risk profile classifies the company in class R3, corresponding to a Vulnerability situation with a PD of 15.48%. This class includes 0.08% of companies in the REAL ESTATE PROJECT DEVELOPMENT sector.
  • CR Score: expresses a synthetic judgment on the usage of the credit lines granted by the banking system, reported to the Central Risk Database of the Bank of Italy. The score related to the Central Risk Database of the Bank of Italy, calculated over a 12-month period. It was not possible to calculate this value because there are no active loans or active credit lines at the time of calculating this parameter.
The above analyses, summarized in the Easyscore Integrated by EasyFintech, place PB Invest S.r.l. in a “High Risk” area.

CONCLUSIONS

As mentioned above, the analyses were conducted on the 2022 financial statement, the document currently available in the databases to calculate the evaluation parameters of the partial scores. It should be noted that the Company has filed its 2023 financial statement, and from a review of this document, it can be stated that the data indicate that the Company has recorded a growth in net equity compared to the previous year, showing careful cost management. However, the Company experienced a significant reduction in production value compared to the previous year (€818,208 in 2022), along with an increase in financial expenses. The improvement in EBITDA reflects the company's ability to better manage operating costs despite the decline in revenues. It is therefore recommended to carefully review the available parameters to evaluate the investment and your relative risk tolerance before subscribing.
