and first half of 2014 results

Financial highlights1
• | Adjusted operating profit: euro 2.73 billion for the quarter (up 39.3%); euro 6.22 billion for the first half (up 9%); | |
• | Adjusted net profit: euro 0.87 billion for the quarter (up 50.7%); euro 2.06 billion for the first half (up 4.8%); | |
• | Net profit: euro 0.66 billion for the quarter (up 139%); euro 1.96 billion for the first half (up 7.9%); | |
• | Operating cash flow2 of the quarter at euro 3.59 billion marks the highest performance since the 2Q 2012; the cash flow of the first half was euro 5.74 billion; | |
• | Leverage at 0.24 compared to 0.25 at December 31, 2013; and | |
• | Dividend proposal of euro 0.56 per share. |
Operational highlights
• | Oil and gas production: 1.58 mmboe/d, substantially unchanged from the second quarter of 2013 on a homogeneous basis3 and net of geopolitical factors; | |
• | Renegotiations of long-term gas contracts: about 60% of contracted volumes aligned to market conditions and downsized take-or-pay exposure; | |
• | New terms agreed for the development of the super-giant Perla gas discovery resources in Venezuela; | |
• | Agreements signed to acquire new exploration licenses in Vietnam, South Africa, China, Algeria and Kazakhstan; | |
• | Resource base increased by 420 million boe in the first half, mainly in Congo, Egypt and Nigeria; | |
• | In July, achieved a new important discovery offshore Gabon with a potential in place of 500 million boe; | |
• | Buyback program: 11.53 million shares repurchased for a total cost of euro 0.2 billion as of June 30, 2014. |
Claudio Descalzi, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"In 2014 the overall market environment has deteriorated compared to last year, in particular in the European refining sector where margins have collapsed owing to excess capacity, causing us to accelerate the restructuring of our plants. Despite this negative backdrop, Eni reported a significant increase in cash flow thanks to the renegotiation of long-term gas supply contracts, which will bring Gas & Power breakeven forwards to 2014. In upstream, exploration continues to deliver outstanding successes and, in the context of the complex geopolitical environment, our oil and gas production remains stable. We have launched a new, slimmed-down organization to maximize synergies and speed of operation. In light of these actions, on September 17, I will propose to the Board of Directors an interim dividend per share of euro 0.56."
At the same time as reviewing this press release, the Board has approved the interim consolidated report as of June 30, 2014, which has been prepared in accordance to Italian listing standards as per Article 154-ter of the Code for securities and exchanges (Testo Unico della Finanza). The document was immediately submitted to the Company’s external auditor. Publication of the interim consolidated report is scheduled within the first half of August 2014 alongside completion of the auditor’s review.

Adjusted operating profit
In the second quarter of 2014, adjusted operating profit amounted to euro 2.73 billion, up 39.3% compared to the second quarter of 2013. The y-o-y comparability was affected by the extraordinary losses of euro 680 million incurred by Saipem in the second quarter 2013, net of which the quarterly increase was just 3.4%.
The 2014 second quarter saw a substantial improvement in the performance reported by the Gas & Power segment, which recorded an operating profit of euro 70 million, compared to a euro 424 million operating loss in the second quarter of 2013. This increase was due to the benefits of the renegotiations of a substantial portion of the long-term gas supply portfolio, while the trading environment was challenging due to a continued decline in selling prices in the Italian market, weak demand and ongoing competitive pressure.
The Engineering & Construction segment with its subsidiary Saipem reported an operating profit of euro 165 million, rebounding the extraordinary operating loss of euro 680 million of the second quarter of 2013.
These positives were partially offset by lower results achieved by the Exploration & Production segment (down euro 428 million, or 12.6%) driven by lower production volumes that were largely impacted by geopolitical issues in Libya, higher depreciation charges following the start-ups and ramp-ups of new fields in the second half of 2013 and a weak gas pricing and exchange rate environment. The Refining & Marketing segment recorded wider operating losses (down euro 43 million, or 24.4%) due to the deeper weakness in refining margins and sluggish fuels demand.
In the first half of 2014 adjusted operating profit of euro 6.22 billion increased by 9% (down 2.6% when excluding Saipem losses) due to the same drivers described above and the benefits of gas contract renegotiations that also related to gas volumes supplied in previous years.
Adjusted net profit
Adjusted net profit of the second quarter of 2014 amounted to euro 0.87 billion, up 50.7% from the second quarter of 2013 (or up 1.4% when excluding the extraordinary losses reported by Saipem in the quarter of 2013). This increase was driven by a better operating performance and a big reduction in the adjusted tax rate which was down by approximately 24 percentage points. This was due to the fact that in the second quarter of 2013 the Company could not accrue any tax benefits on Saipem’s losses and a lower share of taxable profit was reported by the Exploration & Production segment. These were partly offset by a rise in the Exploration & Production tax rate due to a higher share of taxable profit reported in Countries with higher taxation.
In the first half of 2014, adjusted net profit of euro 2.06 billion increased by 4.8% (when excluding the extraordinary losses made by Saipem in the first half of 2013 results, adjusted net profit was down 8%).
Capital expenditure
Capital expenditure for the second quarter of 2014 amounted to euro 2.98 billion (euro 5.52 billion for the first half of 2014), mainly due to the development of oil and gas reserves and exploration projects. In the first half of 2014 the Group also incurred expenditures of euro 0.19 billion in finance acquisitions, joint venture projects and equity investees.

Balance sheet and cash flow
As of June 30, 2014, net borrowings4 amounted to euro 14.60 billion, down euro 0.36 billion from December 31, 2013. This decline reflected net cash provided by operating activities of euro 5.74 billion, which was impacted by lower trade receivables due beyond the end of the quarter transferred to factoring institutions as compared with the end of 2013 (down euro 0.68 billion), and the proceeds (euro 3 billion) relating to the divestment of Eni’s interest in Artic Russia and of its remaining stake in Galp. These inflows were partially offset by cash outflows relating to the payment of dividends (euro 2 billion), capital expenditure over the period (euro 5.52 billion) and the repurchase of Eni’s shares (euro 0.2 billion).
Compared to March 31, 2014, net borrowings increased by euro 0.8 billion due to the payment of the 2013 balance dividend to Eni’s shareholders and capital expenditure over the period. These cash outlays were partly offset by net cash provided by operating activities (euro 3.59 billion) and asset disposals (euro 0.84 billion).
The ratio of net borrowings to shareholders’ equity including non-controlling interest – leverage5 – decreased to 0.24 at June 30, 2014 from 0.25 at December 31, 2013.
Interim dividend 2014
In light of the financial results achieved for the first half of 2014 and management’s expectations for the full-year results, the interim dividend proposal to the Board of Directors on September 17, 2014, will amount to euro 0.56 per share6 (euro 0.55 per share in 2013). The interim dividend is payable on September 25, 2014, with September 22, 2014 being the ex dividend date.

Exploration & Production
In the second quarter of 2014, Eni’s liquids and gas production was 1.584 million boe/d. On a homogeneous basis, excluding the effects of the divestment of Eni’s interest in certain gas assets in Siberia (30 kboe/d) and price effects in the Company’s PSAs, as well as the negative impact of geopolitical factors, production was broadly in line (down 0.6%) compared to the second quarter of 2013. Production ramp-ups mainly in the United Kingdom and Algeria were offset by mature fields declines. In the first half of 2014, production averaged 1.583 million boe/d and was broadly in line with the previous year reporting period due to the same driver described above.
Gas & Power
Against the backdrop of an oversupplied market, sales of natural gas in the second quarter of 2014 were 19.09 bcm, in line with the second quarter of 2013. The improved performance recorded in Italy (up 11.8%, to 7.27 bcm) reflected higher sales in spot markets. Sales in European markets increased by 2.4% to 9.01 bcm, mainly in Benelux and the Iberian Peninsula. Sales to importers in Italy (down 49.2%, to 0.64 bcm) declined due to lower availability of Libyan supplies. In the first half of 2014, Eni’s natural gas sales amounted to 45.85 bcm, reporting a decrease of 6.9% compared to the first half of 2013. The decline was explained by unusual winter weather conditions and a continuing tough environment for electricity sales partly reflecting higher hydroelectric production.
Refining & Marketing
In the second quarter of 2014, European refining margins in the Mediterranean area remained at depressed levels driven by structural headwinds in the industry: overcapacity, lower fuel demand and increasing competitive pressure from import streams of refined products from Russia, the Middle East and the USA. Against this backdrop, the Eni standard refining margin

that gauges the profitability of Eni’s refineries against the typical raw material slate and yields, reported a 30% decrease compared to the second quarter of 2013 (down 45% for the half year).
Retail sales in Italy were 1.60 mmtonnes, down 6.4% due to reduced consumption in Italy and increasing competitive pressure (3.05 mmtonnes, down 9.2% in the first half of the year). In the second quarter of 2014, Eni’s retail market share decreased by 1.5 percentage points to 26.4%, from 27.9% in the corresponding period of 2013. Retail sales in the European market were broadly unchanged from the second quarter of 2013.
Currency
Results for the second quarter and the first half of 2014 were negatively impacted by the appreciation of the euro vs. the US dollar (up 5% and 4.3% in the second quarter and the first half of 2014, respectively).

In June 2014, Eni signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Venezuelan national company PDVSA for the commercial development of the condensates reserves associated with the super-giant gas discovery Perla field. The agreement provides for the establishment of a company jointly run by PDVSA with a 60% interest (Eni and Repsol will have interests of 20% each). Eni and Repsol will fund the share of development costs of PDVSA by contributing up to $500 million each. Development of gas resources progressed.
Alaska
In June 2014, Eni achieved the production target of 25 kboe/d at the Nikaitchuq oil field. This important target was achieved by applying Eni’s skills and proprietary technologies in an area with extreme climate and environmental constraints, which helped to build one of the most advanced production facilities in the North Slope, with maximum environmental compatibility and high level of operational efficiency.
Mozambique
In May 2014, Eni successfully completed the appraisal of the Agulha discovery, located in Area 4, offshore Mozambique, with the Agulha 2 field which was drilled at a water depth of 2,603 meters and reached a total depth of 5,645 meters.

Norway
In May 2014, a new oil and gas Drivis discovery was made at the PL532 license, in the Barents Sea. The discovery potential is estimated in the range of 125 million and 140 million barrels, and will be put into production with the development of the Johan Castberg Hub.
Exploration successes
In the first half of 2014, in addition to the above mentioned discoveries, the exploration activities concerned:
(i) Congo, in the Marine XII (Eni operator with a 65% interest) offshore block with the Nené Marine 3 appraisal well, confirming the oil and gas mineral potential of the area;
(ii) Egypt, with the ARM-14 oil discovery in the Abu Rudeis concession (Eni’s interest 100%) in the Gulf of Suez, which was linked to existing nearby production facilities;
(iii) Nigeria, with the Abo 12 oil well in the OML 125 block (Eni operator with an 85% interest). The discovery will be linked to existing facilities this year.
Gabon
In July 2014, Eni achieved an important gas and condensates discovery in the Nyonie Deep exploration prospect, offshore Gabon, with initial potential in place estimated at 500 million boe. The discovery is the outcome of Eni’s exploration campaign which the Company is carrying out in the promising pre-salt basin of West Africa. Within this basin, the new discovery is the third field to be discovered recently in shallow waters, after Nené Marine and Litchendjili Marine in Congo. The total estimated potential of these discoveries is approximately 3 billion boe.
Divestment of Eni’s downstream assets in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Romania
In May 2014, Eni signed a preliminary agreement for the divestment of Eni’s marketing activities of fuels located in Czech Republic, Slovakia and Romania to the Hungarian Company MOL. The agreement also comprises the refinery capacity to supply the marketing network through a 32.445% interest in the joint refining asset Ceská Rafinérská as (CRC). The latter will be ultimately purchased by another partner in the venture, Unipetrol, which has exercised the relevant preemption rights according to the conditions agreed by Eni and MOL. All these agreements are subject to the approval of the relevant European antitrust Authorities. Eni plans to continue the marketing of lubricants in the wholesale segment in Czech Republic, Slovakia and Romania.
Divestment of Galp
In the first half of 2014, Eni completed the divestment of Galp through the sale of approximately 8% of the share capital of the investee for a cash consideration of euro 824 million. Following the sale, Eni holds approximately 8% of Galp’s share capital, entirely underlying the approximately euro 1,028 million exchangeable bond issued on November 30, 2012 and due on November 30, 2015.
Germany
In July 2014, as part of the strategy intended to rationalize the Company’s gas operations and exit the regulated gas transport business, Eni signed a preliminary agreement to divest its stake in EnBW Eni Verwaltungsgesellschaft (EEV), a joint venture which controls the companies Gasversorgung Süddeutschland (GVS) and Terranets BW, to its current partner EnBW (Energie Baden-Württemberg). In 2013 Eni’s share of the sales volumes made by the joint venture amounted to 2.62 bcm.
The transaction is subject to the approval of the relevant European antitrust Authorities.
Versalis - Green Chemical Project
In June 2014, the green chemical project of Matrìca, a 50/50 joint venture between Eni’s subsidiary Versalis and Novamont, started operations thus marking the full conversion of the Porto Torres site from a loss-making basic petrochemical complex. Matrica’s first commercial plant is currently leveraging innovative technology to transform vegetable oils into monomers and intermediates that are feedstock for the production of complex bio-products destined to a number of industries such as the tyre industry, bio-lubricants and plastic production. In the coming months another two plants will come online, reaching a total capacity of approximately 70 ktonnes per year.
Venice bio-refinery start-up
In June 2014, the bio-refinery of Porto Marghera (Venice) started up with an overall capacity of green diesel of 300 ktonnes/year, which will supply half of Eni’s Green Diesel. This project will give to the Venice Refinery a new industrial perspective, with expected economic and environmental benefits.

Outlook
The 2014 outlook is linked in part to a moderate strengthening of the global economic recovery. A number of uncertainties remain surrounding this outlook due to weak growth prospects in the Euro-zone and risks from emerging economies. Crude oil prices are forecast on a solid trend driven by geopolitical factors and the resulting technical issues in a number of important producing Countries but also impacted by the backdrop of well-supplied global markets. Management expects that the trading environment will remain challenging for the Company’s businesses. We expect continuing weak conditions in the European industries of gas distribution, refining and fuels and chemical products marketing where we do not anticipate any meaningful improvement in demand, while competition, excess supplies and overcapacity will continue to weigh on the sales margins of energy commodities. In light of this, management reaffirms its commitment to restoring profitability and preserving cash generation at the Company’s mid and downstream businesses by leveraging cost cuts and continuing renegotiation of long-term gas supply contracts, capacity restructuring and reconversion along with product and marketing innovation.
Management expects the following production and sales trends for Eni’s businesses: |
- | Production of liquids and natural gas: production is expected to remain substantially in line with 2013, excluding the impact of the divestment of Eni’s interest in the Artic Russia gas assets; | |
- | Gas sales: natural gas sales are expected to be slightly lower than 2013, excluding the impact of the expected divestment of Eni’s interest in a commercial joint venture in Germany. Management is planning to strengthen marketing efforts and innovation to withstand competitive pressures in both in the large customers segment and in the retail segment. This is set against the backdrop of the ongoing downturn in demand and oversupplies, particularly in Italy; | |
- | Refining throughputs on Eni’s account: volumes are expected to be lower than those processed in 2013 due to capacity reductions and plants’ optimization process designed to mitigate the impact of a negative trading environment. This has only partially been offset by higher output at the new EST technology conversion plant at the Sannazzaro Refinery; | |
- | Retail sales of refined products in Italy and the Rest of Europe: retail sales are expected to be lower than in 2013 due to an ongoing demand downturn in Italy, increasing competitive pressure and the expected impact of network reorganization in Italy and in Europe; | |
- | Engineering & Construction: 2014 will be a transitional year with profitability expected to recover, although the extent of this recovery will be determined by the effective execution of operational and commercial activities on low-margin contracts still present in the current portfolio and by how quickly bids currently under consideration are awarded. |
In 2014, management expects to make further spending optimizations that will results in lower capital expenditure from 2013 (euro 12.80 billion in capital expenditure and euro 0.32 billion in financial investments in 2013). Assuming a Brent price of $108 a barrel and an average euro/dollar exchange rate of 1.35 for the full year 2014 (1.31 euro/dollar exchange rate expected at December 31, 2014), the ratio of net borrowings to total equity at year end – leverage – is projected to be almost in line with the level achieved at the end of 2013, due to cash flows from operations and portfolio transactions.

Group results
Reported
In the second quarter of 2014 Eni reported an operating profit of euro 2,255 million, up 53.3% from the second quarter of the previous year, which more than doubles the net profit attributable to its shareholders to euro 658 million. Y-o-y comparison reflected the extraordinary losses incurred by Eni’s subsidiary Saipem from certain large contracts. The results of the second quarter 2014 benefited from a strong recovery in the Gas & Power performance, mainly due to certain long-term contracts renegotiations. Eni’s other business segments were negatively influenced by continued geopolitical risks and the appreciation of the euro against the dollar, mainly in the Exploration & Production segment, as well as weak refining and petrochemicals fundamentals. These were weighted down by the slow recovery in the Euro-zone, weak energy demand, excess capacity and increasing competitive pressure from product streams imported from Russia, Asia and the USA, as well as higher prices of crude oil. These headwinds were reflected in declining margins on the production and sale of fuels and commodity chemicals.
In the second quarter of 2014, the Group tax rate declined by approximately 30 basis points, due to the fact that in the second quarter of 2013 the Company could not recognize any tax-loss carried forward at the loss-making Engineering & Construction segment and a lower share of taxable profit reported by the Exploration & Production segment, partly offset by a rise in the Exploration & Production tax rate due to a higher share of taxable profit reported in Countries with higher taxation.
In the first half of 2014, net profit attributable to Eni’s shareholders amounted to euro 1,961 million, increasing by euro 143 million, or 7.9%, due to the same drivers described in the quarterly disclosure which were boosted by the fact that the renegotiations of the long-term gas supply contracts included economic effects retroactive to previous years.
Adjusted
In the second quarter of 2014, adjusted operating profit amounted to euro 2,728 million, increasing by 39.3% from the second quarter of 2013 (euro 6,219 million, up 9% for the first half of 2014).
Adjusted net profit attributable to Eni’s shareholders amounting to euro 868 million was up euro 292 million, or 50.7%, compared to the second quarter of the previous year. Adjusted net profit was calculated by excluding an inventory holding loss of euro 5 million and special items made up of extraordinary net losses of euro 205 million, stated net of exchange rate differences and exchange rate derivative instruments reclassified in operating profit (a loss of euro 15 million in the quarter) as they mainly related to derivative transactions entered into to manage exposure to the exchange rate risk implicit in commodity pricing formulas.
In the first half of 2014, adjusted net profit attributable to Eni’s shareholders was euro 2,055 million, increasing by euro 94 million, or 4.8% from the same period of the previous year. Adjusted net profit was calculated by excluding an euro 11 million inventory holding loss and extraordinary losses of euro 83 million, with a net positive impact of euro 94 million.
Special items of the operating profit (euro 465 million in the quarter; euro 303 million in the first half of 2014) related to:
(i) impairment losses in the Exploration & Production segment (euro 187 million) that mainly related to an oil & gas property whose development activities Eni does not expect to finance in the future; (ii) impairment losses relating to the retail networks of fuels in the Czech Republic and Slovakia which were aligned to the expected sale price, the effect of which was partly offset by a write-up of the Eni’s interest in the refining joint venture that currently supplies the divested networks (euro 51 million); finally, investments made for compliance and stay-in-business purposes were completely written-off as they related to certain Cash Generating Units that were impaired in previous reporting periods and continued to lack any prospect of profitability, mainly in the Refining & Marketing segment (euro 96 million in the first six months) and in Versalis (euro 7 million in the first six months); (iii) the effects of fair-value evaluation of certain commodity derivatives contracts lacking the formal requisites to be accounted as hedges under IFRS (a gain of euro 18 million and euro 281 million in the second quarter and the first half of 2014, respectively); (iv) environmental and redundancy incentives provisions (euro 74 million and euro 30 million for the first half, respectively); (v) exchange rate differences and exchange rate derivative instruments reclassified as operating items (loss of euro 15 million and euro 30 million, in the quarter and the first half of the year, respectively).
Non-operating special items of the first half of 2014 refer to net gains on the divestment of the residual interest in Galp (euro 96 million).

Results by segment
Group adjusted net profit for both reporting periods reflected lower adjusted operating performance from the Exploration & Production and Refining & Marketing segments, as well as Versalis. A countertrend was recorded by the Gas & Power segment benefiting from contract renegotiations of certain gas supply contracts and the Eni's subsidiary Saipem due to the circumstance that the second quarter of 2013 was impacted by extraordinary contract losses of euro 680 million.
Exploration & Production
In the second quarter of 2014, the Exploration & Production segment reported a 12.6% decrease in adjusted operating profit to euro 2,981 million (down 13.2% in the first half of 2014) driven by lower production sold that was largely impacted by geopolitical issues in Libya, higher depreciation charges following the start-ups and ramp-ups of new fields in the second half of 2013, as well as the appreciation of the euro vs. dollar (up 5%). These negatives were partly offset by higher hydrocarbons realizations in dollar terms (up 5.2% and 2.2% on average, in the quarter and in the first half, respectively) reflecting the marker Brent trend, which absorbed lower gas prices. Adjusted net profit of euro 1,151 million in the second quarter of 2014 decreased by 20.1% (euro 2,464 million, down 20.8% in the first half of 2014) impacted by lower income from investments and higher adjusted tax rate (up approximately 2 percentage points in the quarter, up 3 percentage points in the first half) due to a higher share of taxable profit reported in Countries with higher taxation.
Gas & Power
In the second quarter of 2014, the Gas & Power segment reported an adjusted operating profit of euro 70 million, which was much better than the previous-quarter operating loss of euro 424 million thanks to the help of the renegotiation of a substantial portion of its long-term gas supply portfolio. This positive trend was partly offset by continuing margin and volume weakness for gas and electricity reflecting poor demand and competitive pressure. Adjusted net profit for the quarter of euro 40 million increased by euro 267 million from the same period in 2013, when the Gas & Power segment reported an adjusted net loss of euro 227 million. In the first half of 2014, the Gas & Power segment reported a better performance (up euro 946 million) with an adjusted operating profit of euro 311 million, compared to an adjusted operating loss of euro 635 million accounted for in the same period of the previous year, due to the same drivers disclosed above and the benefits of the long-term supply contracts renegotiations with economic effects retroactive to previous years. Adjusted net profit amounted to euro 197 million, up euro 565 million from the first half of 2013.
Refining & Marketing
In the second quarter of 2014, the Refining & Marketing segment reported an adjusted operating loss of euro 219 million, which was euro 43 million more than the second quarter of 2013, up 24.4%. This negative trend was driven by a continued deterioration in refining margins on the back of weak demand for refined products, mainly in the Mediterranean area. Adjusted net loss amounted to euro 165 million, increasing by euro 26 million. In the first half of 2014, the Refining & Marketing segment reported an adjusted operating loss of euro 442 million (increasing by euro 132 million, or 42.6%, from the same period of the previous year) due to the same drivers disclosed above. The adjusted net loss of euro 324 million increased by euro 134 million from the first half of 2013.
Engineering & Construction
In the second quarter of 2014, the Engineering & Construction segment reported an adjusted operating profit of euro 165 million (euro 293 million in the first half of 2014). The y-o-y comparison was boosted by the magnitude of the operating loss incurred in the second quarter of 2013 due to extraordinary contract losses. The improvement was euro 843 million and euro 767 million from the second quarter and the first half of 2013, respectively. Adjusted net profit increased by euro 769 million and euro 734 million in the quarter and in the first half, respectively.
Versalis
In the second quarter of 2014, Versalis reported an adjusted operating loss of euro 93 million, with an increase of 13.4% from the second quarter of 2013. This was driven by increased oil-based feedstock costs, continued weakness in commodity demand, which reflected slow economic growth and increasing competition from Asian producers which left product margins at depressed levels. Adjusted net loss of euro 78 million was in line with the same period of the previous year. In the first half of 2014, the adjusted operating loss increased by euro 37 million, or 25.5%. Adjusted net loss increased by 12.5% from the previous year.

Fixed assets amounted to euro 77,894 million, representing an increase of euro 1,418 million from December 31, 2013 which reflected capital expenditure incurred in the period (euro 5,524 million), estimate revisions of decommissioning cost in the Exploration & Production segment reflecting a favorable interest rate environment (up euro 1,064 million), which were partly offset by depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment charges (euro 5,188 million).
Net working capital (negative, euro 1,172 million) reported an increase of euro 169 million. This reflected the increase in "Other current assets, net" (up euro 1,274 million) relating to higher net receivables vs. joint-venture partners in the Exploration & Production segment, which were partly offset by reduced deferred costs related to pre-paid gas volumes provided by take-or-pay obligations due to volume make-up in the quarter as a result of contract renegotiations; also a higher balance of trade receivables and trade payables (up euro 538 million) was recorded mainly in the Engineering & Construction segment, with its subsidiary Saipem, and finally higher inventories (up euro 318 million) due to higher work in progress in the Engineering & Construction segment. These increases were partly offset by higher risk provisions (up euro 1,345 million) due to the above mentioned revision of decommissioning costs in the Exploration & Production segment and higher tax payables and provisions for deferred taxes.
Net assets held for sale including related liabilities (euro 442 million) related to retail networks in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Romania and the associated refining capacity and certain non strategic interests in the Gas & Power segment.
Shareholders’ equity including non-controlling interest was euro 61,261 million, representing an increase of euro 212 million from December 31, 2013. This was due to comprehensive income for the period (euro 2,441 million) as a result of net profit (euro 1,918 million), positive foreign currency translation differences (euro 423 million), and positive changes in the cash flow hedge reserve (euro 250 million), net of the reversal of the fair value reserve of the Galp interest due to its disposal. This addition to equity was almost completely offset by dividend payments to Eni’s shareholders and other changes for euro 2,229 million (balance dividend for the full year 2013 to Eni’s shareholders of euro 1,986 million, dividends paid to non-controlling interest, as well as the repurchase of Eni’s share).
____________
(7) The summarized group balance sheet aggregates the amount of assets and liabilities derived from the statutory balance sheet in accordance with functional criteria which consider the enterprise conventionally divided into the three fundamental areas focusing on resource investments, operations and financing. Management believes that this summarized group balance sheet is useful information in assisting investors to assess Eni’s capital structure and to analyze its sources of funds and investments in fixed assets and working capital. Management uses the summarized group balance sheet to calculate key ratios such as the proportion of net borrowings to shareholders’ equity (leverage) intended to evaluate whether Eni’s financing structure is sound and well-balanced.

Net cash provided by operating activities was euro 5,740 million. Proceeds from disposals amounted to euro 3,014 million and mainly related to the divestment of Eni’s share in Artic Russia (euro 2,160 million) and an 8% interest in Galp Energia (euro 824 million). These cash inflows funded cash outlays relating to capital expenditure totaling euro 5,524 million and dividend payments and other changes amounting to euro 2,235 million referring to the balance dividend paid to Eni’s shareholders for the fiscal year 2013 (euro 1,986 million) and the repurchase of Eni’s share for euro 202 million, repaying down euro 362 million in the Group’s net debt since December 31, 2013. Net cash provided by operating activities was negatively influenced by a lower volume of trade receivables due beyond the end of the reporting period, being transferred to financing institutions compared to the previous reporting period (down euro 675 million). The robust cash flow, mainly delivered in the second quarter of 2014, was recorded by the Exploration & Production and Gas & Power segments.
____________
(8) Eni’s summarized group cash flow statement derives from the statutory statement of cash flows. It enables investors to understand the link existing between changes in cash and cash equivalents (deriving from the statutory cash flows statement) and in net borrowings (deriving from the summarized cash flow statement) that occurred from the beginning of the period to the end of period. The measure enabling such a link is represented by the free cash flow which is the cash in excess of capital expenditure needs. Starting from free cash flow it is possible to determine either: (i) changes in cash and cash equivalents for the period by adding/deducting cash flows relating to financing debts/receivables (issuance/repayment of debt and receivables related to financing activities), shareholders’ equity (dividends paid, net repurchase of own shares, capital issuance) and the effect of changes in consolidation and of exchange rate differences; (ii) changes in net borrowings for the period by adding/deducting cash flows relating to shareholders’ equity and the effect of changes in consolidation and of exchange rate differences. The free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure of financial performance.

Results
In the second quarter of 2014, the Exploration & Production segment reported an adjusted operating profit of euro 2,981 million, representing a decrease of euro 428 million, or 12.6% from the second quarter of 2013, driven by lower production sold that was largely impacted by geopolitical issues in Libya, higher depreciation charges following the start-ups and ramp-ups of new fields in the second half of 2013, as well as the appreciation of the euro vs. the dollar (up 5%) which impacted the results reported by

Table of Contents
subsidiaries whose functional currency is the US dollar. These negatives were partly offset by higher hydrocarbon realizations in dollar terms (up 5.2%) reflecting the marker Brent trend, partly absorbed by the effect of lower gas prices.
Special charges recorded in the quarter for euro 190 million (net loss of euro 210 million in the first half of 2014) mainly related to asset impairments (euro 187 million) including an oil&gas property whose development activities Eni does not expect to finance in the future and provisions for redundancy incentives (euro 10 million).
Adjusted net profit amounting to euro 1,151 million decreased by euro 290 million, or 20.1%, from the second quarter of 2013 reflecting a reduced operating performance, lower income from investments and an increased adjusted tax rate (up 2 percentage points in the second quarter and 3 percentage points in the first half of 2014) due to a higher share of taxable profit that was earned by subsidiaries subject to a higher tax rate.
In the first half of 2014, the Exploration & Production segment reported an adjusted operating profit of euro 6,431 million, representing a decrease of euro 976 million, down 13.2% from the same period of 2013, driven by lower production sold due to the aforementioned geopolitical factors in Libya, higher depreciation charges following the start-ups and ramp-ups of new fields by the second half of 2013 and the appreciation of the euro against the dollar, partly offset by higher hydrocarbon realizations in dollar terms (up 2.2% on average).
Adjusted net profit amounted to euro 2,464 million, decreasing by euro 646 million, or 20.8% from the first half of 2013, due to lower operating performance.
Operating review
In the second quarter of 2014, Eni’s liquids and gas production was 1.584 million boe/d. On a homogeneous basis, excluding the effects of the divestment of Eni’s interest in certain gas assets in Siberia (30 kboe/d) and price effects in the Company’s PSAs, as well as the negative impact of geopolitical factors, production was broadly in line (down 0.6%) compared to the second quarter of 2013. Production ramp-ups mainly in the United Kingdom and Algeria were offset by mature fields declines. In the first half of 2014, production averaged 1.583 million boe/d, which was broadly unchanged compared to the previous year due to the same driver described above. The share of oil and natural gas produced outside Italy was 89% in the quarter and in the six months (unchanged when compared with both the reporting periods).
Liquids production (813 kbbl/d) decreased by 32 kbbl/d, or 3.8% from the second quarter of 2013. New fields start-ups and production ramp-ups mainly in the UK, Algeria and the United States, partly offset lower production in Libya and Angola, as well as the effects of the divestment of the Siberian assets (5 kbbl/d).
Natural gas production for the second quarter of 2014 was 4,234 mmcf/d. When excluding the effect of the divestment of the Siberian assets (140 mmcf/d), natural gas production was in line with the level of the same quarter of the previous year.
The contribution of new fields start-ups and ramp-ups mainly in the UK and Algeria was offset by mature fields declines.
In the first half of 2014 liquids production (817 kbbl/d) decreased by 15 kbbl/d, or 1.8%, reflecting lower production volumes in Libya and Angola, as well as the effect of the divestment of the Siberian assets (4 kbbl/d). These negatives were partly offset by new fields start-ups and ramp-ups mainly in the UK, Algeria and the United States.
Natural gas production (4,208 mmcf/d), when excluding the effect of the divestment of the Siberian assets (129 mmcf/d), was in line with the same period of the previous year. Mature fields declines were offset by new fields start-ups and ramp-ups.

Results
In the second quarter of 2014, the Gas & Power segment reported an adjusted operating profit of euro 70 million which was significantly better than the euro 424 million operating loss registered in the second quarter of 2013 (an increase of euro 494 million).
This was driven by the renegotiations of a large portion of the long-term supply portfolio that were finalized between the fourth quarter of 2013 and June 30, 2014. The benefits of the contracts renegotiations were partially offset by continuing headwinds in the gas market as spot selling prices in Italy declined, dragged down by structural weak demand and oversupply, also triggered price revisions at certain long-term buyers. Furthermore, prices in the residential market were affected by a reduction in regulated tariffs set by the Italian Authority for Electricity and Gas, which replaced the previous oil-linked indexation mechanism of the raw material with prices quoted at spot markets, and finally margins on electricity production and sale were sharply lower, reflecting an ongoing downturn in the thermoelectric sector. The International transport activity increased slightly its operating profit (up euro 15 million).
Special items excluded from adjusted operating profit amounted to net charges of euro 29 million, which consisted of alignment to its net realization value of the deferred cost related to the pre-paid volumes of gas due to the incurrence of the take-or-pay clause (euro 31 million), other charges amounting to euro 4 million, fair-valued commodity derivatives contracts lacking the formal requisites to be accounted as hedges under IFRS (a gain of euro 18 million), the reclassification in the adjusted operating profit of

exchange rate differences and fair-valued exchange rate derivatives as they mainly related to derivative transactions entered into to manage exposure to the exchange rate risk implicit in commodity pricing formulas (a loss of euro 12 million).
Adjusted net profit of the second quarter of 2014 amounted to euro 40 million, reversing the prior-year loss of euro 227 million (up euro 267 million). This reflects a better operating performance and higher results from equity-accounted entities.
In the first half of 2014, the Gas & Power segment reported an adjusted operating profit of euro 311 million reversing the prior-year loss of euro 635 million (up euro 946 million) due to the same drivers described in the quarterly disclosure as well as renegotiations of a number of gas supply contracts, the economic effects of which were retroactive to previous years. The International transport activity reduced its operating profit (down 26.9%).
Adjusted net profit of the first half of 2014 amounted to euro 197 million, increasing by euro 565 million partly offset by lower results from equity-accounted entities.
Operating review
In the second quarter of 2014, Eni’s natural gas sales were 19.09 bcm (including Eni’s own consumption, Eni’s share of sales made by equity-accounted entities and upstream sales in Europe and in the Gulf of Mexico), in line with the second quarter of 2013. Sales in Italy increased by 11.8% to 7.27 bcm driven by higher volumes marketed at spot markets and a growth in the segment of small and middle-sized enterprises and services reflecting effective marketing policies, which were partly offset by lower sales in the industrial and residential segments. Sales in Europe of 9.01 bcm increased by 2.4% driven by higher volumes marketed in Benelux and the Iberian Peninsula due to effective marketing policies, partially offset by lower sales in France due to competitive pressure. Sales to importers in Italy decreased by 49.2% to 0.64 bcm, reflecting the lower availability of Libyan gas.
In the first half of 2014, natural gas sales amounted to 45.85 bcm, down 3.41 bcm, or 6.9% from the same period of the previous year. Sales in Italy decreased in all the reference markets to 18.45 bcm, or 3%, except for spot markets, small and middle-sized enterprises and services segment, due to an ongoing downturn in demand, competitive pressure, unusual winter weather conditions as well as a tougher trading environment for electricity sales reflecting higher use of hydroelectric and renewable sources and lower demand. Sales in Europe amounted to 21.14 bcm, down 7%, driven by lower volumes marketed in Germany/Austria and France due to competitive pressure, partially offset by higher sales in the Iberian Peninsula and Turkey due to effective marketing policies.
Electricity sales were 7.75 TWh in the second quarter of 2014, decreasing by 10.8%, from a year earlier (16 TWh, down 10.4% in the first half of 2014) due to lower volumes traded on the free market.

EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization charges) on an adjusted basis is calculated by adding amortization and depreciation charges to adjusted operating profit. This performance indicator includes the adjusted EBITDA of Eni’s wholly owned subsidiaries and Eni’s share of adjusted EBITDA generated by certain associates which are accounted for under the equity method for IFRS purposes. Management believes that the EBITDA pro-forma adjusted is an important alternative measure to assess the performance of Eni’s Gas & Power Division, taking into account evidence that this Division is comparable to European utilities in the gas and power generation sector. This measure is provided in order to assist investors and financial analysts in assessing the divisional performance of Eni Gas & Power, as compared to its European peers, as EBITDA is widely used as the main performance indicator for utilities. The EBITDA pro-forma adjusted is a non-GAAP measure under IFRS.

Results
In the second quarter of 2014, the Refining & Marketing segment reported an adjusted operating loss amounting to euro 219 million, which was euro 43 million more compared to the second quarter of 2013, increasing by 24.4%. This negative trend reflected depressed refining margins in the Mediterranean region due to structural headwinds in the industry that were affected by excess capacity, weak demand for oil products and increasing competitive pressure from product streams imported from Russia, the Middle East and the USA. The negative trends in refining environment were partly counteracted by efficiency initiatives, in particular aimed at reducing energy and operating costs, as well as by asset optimizations through reduced throughputs at less competitive plants. Marketing results registered a decline compared to the same quarter of the previous year, due to lower consumption and increasing competitive pressure.
Special charges excluded from adjusted operating loss amounted to euro 170 million, mainly related to impairment losses of the retail networks in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, aligned to the expected sale price, the effect of which were partly offset

by a write-up of the Eni’s interest in the refining joint venture which currently supplies the divested networks (on the whole, euro 51 million), impairment of investments made for compliance and stay-in-business purposes were completely written-off as they related certain Cash Generating Units which were impaired in previous reporting periods and continued to lack any profitability prospects (euro 43 million), environmental provisions (euro 33 million) and exchange rate differences and exchange rate derivative instruments reclassified in operating profit (a charge of euro 5 million).
In the second quarter of 2014, adjusted net loss was euro 165 million, an increase of euro 26 million from the second quarter of 2013 due to a lower operating performance.
In the first half of 2014, the Refining & Marketing segment reported an adjusted operating loss amounting to euro 442 million, an increase of euro 132 million from the first half of 2013.
Adjusted net loss was euro 324 million, an increase of euro 134 million from the same period of 2013.
Operating review
Eni’s refining throughputs on own account for the second quarter of 2014 were 5.81 mmtonnes (11.69 mmtonnes in the first half 2014), down 14.6% from the second quarter of 2013 (down 15% from the first half of 2013). In Italy, processed volumes decreased (down 20.1% and 19.1% in the two reporting periods, respectively) due to the shutdown of the Venice Refinery for the conversion in Green Refinery, the standstill of the Gela site, as well as the standstill of the Residue Hydroconversion Unit (RHU) at Taranto site to be converted in Hydrocracking. Throughputs at the Sannazzaro Refinery increased driven by less standstills compared to the first half of 2013.
Outside Italy, Eni’s refining throughputs increased by 11.9% in the quarter (up 5.2% in the first half of the year) in Germany and the Czech Republic.
Retail sales in Italy were 1.60 mmtonnes in the second quarter of 2014 (3.05 mmtonnes in the first half of 2014), down 0.11 mmtonnes, or 6.4% (down 0.31 mmtonnes, or 9.2% in the first half of 2014), due to lower consumption of all products. In the second quarter of 2014 Eni’s market share was 26.4%, decreasing by 1.5% from the same period in 2013 (27.9%).
Wholesale sales in Italy (1.79 mmtonnes in the second quarter, 3.47 mmtonnes in the first half of 2014) decreased by 0.29 mmtonnes, or 13.9% from the second quarter of 2013 (down 11.9% in the first half of 2014), mainly due to lower sales of gasoil and fuel oil for bunkering.
Retail sales in the rest of Europe were 0.78 mmtonnes in the second quarter of 2014 (1.49 mmtonnes in the first half of 2014), unchanged from the same period of 2013 (up 2.1% compared to the first half of 2013). Higher sales in Germany and Austria were offset by lower volumes in France, Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
Wholesale sales in the Rest of Europe (1.17 mmtonnes in the second quarter of 2014; 2.18 mmtonnes in the first half of 2014) increased by 8.3% from the second quarter of 2013 (up 7.9% from the first half of 2013), mainly in Austria, France and Hungary.

NON-GAAP measures
Reconciliation of reported operating profit and reported net profit to results on an adjusted basis
Management evaluates Group and business performance on the basis of adjusted operating profit and adjusted net profit, which are arrived at by excluding inventory holding gains or losses, special items and, in determining the business segments’ adjusted results, finance charges on finance debt and interest income. The adjusted operating profit of each business segment reports gains and losses on derivative financial instruments entered into to manage exposure to movements in foreign currency exchange rates which impact industrial margins and translation of commercial payables and receivables. Accordingly also currency translation effects recorded through profit and loss are reported within business segments’ adjusted operating profit.
The taxation effect of the items excluded from adjusted operating or net profit is determined based on the specific rate of taxes applicable to each of them. The Italian statutory tax rate is applied to finance charges and income. Adjusted operating profit and adjusted net profit are non-GAAP financial measures under either IFRS, or US GAAP. Management includes them in order to facilitate a comparison of base business performance across periods, and to allow financial analysts to evaluate Eni’s trading performance on the basis of their forecasting models.
The following is a description of items that are excluded from the calculation of adjusted results.
Inventory holding gain or loss is the difference between the cost of sales of the volumes sold in the period based on the cost of supplies of the same period and the cost of sales of the volumes sold calculated using the weighted average cost method of inventory accounting.
Special items include certain significant income or charges pertaining to either: (i) infrequent or unusual events and transactions, being identified as non-recurring items under such circumstances; (ii) certain events or transactions which are not considered to be representative of the ordinary course of business, as in the case of environmental provisions, restructuring charges, asset impairments or write ups and gains or losses on divestments even though they occurred in past periods or are likely to occur in future ones; or (iii) exchange rate differences and derivatives relating to industrial activities and commercial payables and receivables, particularly exchange rate derivatives to manage commodity pricing formulas which are quoted in a currency other than the functional currency. Those items are reclassified in operating profit with a corresponding adjustment to net finance charges, notwithstanding the handling of foreign currency exchange risks is made centrally by netting off naturally-occurring opposite positions and then dealing with any residual risk exposure in the exchange rate market.
As provided for in Decision No. 15519 of July 27, 2006 of the Italian market regulator (Consob), non recurring material income or charges are to be clearly reported in the management’s discussion and financial tables. Also, special items include gains and losses on re-measurement at fair value of certain non hedging commodity derivatives, including the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges and certain derivatives financial instruments embedded in the pricing formula of long-term gas supply agreements of the Exploration & Production Division.
Finance charges or income related to net borrowings excluded from the adjusted net profit of business segments are comprised of interest charges on finance debt and interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents not related to operations.
Therefore, the adjusted net profit of business segments includes finance charges or income deriving from certain segment-operated assets, i.e., interest income on certain receivable financing and securities related to operations and finance charge pertaining to the accretion of certain provisions recorded on a discounted basis (as in the case of the asset retirement obligations in the Exploration & Production Division). Finance charges or interest income and related taxation effects excluded from the adjusted net profit of the business segments are allocated on the aggregate Corporate and financial companies.
For a reconciliation of adjusted operating profit, adjusted net profit to reported operating profit and reported net profit see tables below.

Leverage and net borrowings
Leverage is a measure used by management to assess the Company’s level of indebtedness. It is calculated as a ratio of net borrowings – which is calculated by excluding cash and cash equivalents and certain very liquid assets from finance debt to shareholders’ equity including non-controlling interest. Management periodically reviews leverage in order to assess the soundness and efficiency of the Group balance sheet in terms of optimal mix between net borrowings and net equity, and to carry out benchmark analysis with industry standards.

Eni strengthens its strategic objectives
- Confirmed hydrocarbon production goal of 3% average annual growth to 2017, thanks to the accelerated development of new discoveries
- Breakeven for G&P businesses brought forwards to 2014 on renegotiation of long-term gas contracts and strong performance of trading, LNG and power
- Cash breakeven target for R&M activities confirmed by end 2015 despite worsening market conditions, thanks to higher capacity reductions (-50% from -35%)
- Increased value from disposals: euro 11 bn compared to the previous target of euro 9 billion
- Launched cost reduction plan, targeting cumulated savings of euro 1.7 bn by 2017
- Operating cash flow to grow from euro 11 bn in 2013 to more than euro 15 bn on average in the 2014-15 period (an increase of over 40%)
- Average annual free cash flow in 2014-2015 to be 20% higher than in 2013
London, July 31, 2014 - Claudio Descalzi, Eni’s CEO, is today updating the financial community on Eni’s medium term strategy and objectives.
In the context of the continuing deterioration of the European market, Eni's strategy is focused on growing cash flow generation by creating value in upstream, accelerating the restructuring of its gas and refining activities and reducing costs.
Average operating cash flow in the 2014-2015 period will be in excess of euro 15 billion, more than 40% higher than the euro 11 billion generated in 2013.
Exploration & Production activities
Leveraging its significant exploration success, Eni confirms a 3% increase in average annual hydrocarbon production between 2014 and 2017.

Eni will maximize the value of its portfolio through the:
- timely development of new fields; in the 2014-2015 period, Eni will complete 15 projects that will contribute more than 70% of the new production targeted by 2017;
- accelerated development of recent oil discoveries in Congo, Egypt and Nigeria, which will partially offset the impact of Kashagan and Angola LNG delays;
- value creation from exploration, where Eni has a strategy of high initial exposure and subsequent dilution upon exploration success and appreciation of the asset.
Gas & Power activities
Thanks to the renegotiation of long-term gas contracts and the strong performance of its business segments, Eni has brought forward operating profit and cash flow breakeven for the gas & power sector to 2014, despite deteriorating market conditions. The company continues to pursue the realignment of its gas supply to market prices. This is currently 60% complete and, as expected, will be fully achieved by 2016. Recent negotiations will also enable the full recovery by 2017 of gas pre-paid under take-or-pay contracts, with a cash benefit of euro 1.9 bn.
Refining & Marketing activities
In a market characterized by a continuous margin decline and by excess European refining capacity, Eni has increased its capacity reduction goal from 35% to over 50%. This will be achieved by converting part of its plants in Italy and further reductions in the company’s presence across Europe. Eni is therefore able to confirm R&M operating cash flow breakeven by the end of 2015 and ebit breakeven by 2016, despite the worsening scenario.
Corporate Structure
Eni has introduced a new organizational structure with even greater focus on oil & gas business priorities and on the centralization of technical and staff services. In this context the shareholding in Saipem is not considered core. Eni is therefore examining a range of options, with the support of a financial advisor, and will update the market as appropriate. In the meanwhile, Eni maintains debt funding for Saipem, adding to its financial solidity.
Cost reduction program
Eni has started a cost reduction program that focuses primarily on reducing business support expenses. Combined with the efficiencies created by the recent reorganization, this program will save euro 250 million in 2014 and an aggregate of euro 1.7 billion in the 2014-17 period.

Optimizing asset portfolio
Thanks to recent exploration discoveries and to a greater focus on its core business, Eni is able to increase its 2014-17 divestiture program by euro 2 billion for a total of euro 11 billion, of which euro 6 billion to be achieved between 2014 and 2015.
Cash flow
Average annual operating cash flow in 2014-2015 will be higher than euro 15 billion, an improvement on the target announced in February. This compares to the euro 11 billion generated in 2013. Upstream growth, the turnaround in mid-downstream activities, rigorous control of costs and investments, and planned divestments will lead to a 20% increase in average annual free cash flow for the 2014-2015 period when compared to last year.
