Eni Interim Consolidated Report / Highlights

Highlights

Adjusted results > Adjusted operating profit almost quadrupled to €2.85 billion, driven by a recovery in crude oil prices (the Brent benchmark was up by 30%), hydrocarbon production growth and the outstanding performance reported by mid-downstream segment, due to gas contracts renegotiations and the restructuring initiatives executed in the latest years, which allowed the Company to fully capture a more favorable scenario.

Adjusted net result: profit of €1.21 billion (up by €1.52 billion, compared to a loss in the first half of 2016). Net profit: €0.98 billion (up by €1.81 billion, compared to a loss in the first half of 2016).

Cash flow > Strong cash generation: €4.64 billion, up by 50% from the first half of 2016. The adjusted cash flow from operations, before changes in working capital at replacement cost, amounted to €4.88 billion.

Capex optimization and self-financing > Capex at €4.97 billion (capex pro-forma¹ €4.27 billion), finalized to the completion of the relevant projects started in the first part of 2017, as scheduled.

Self-financed 110% of the pro-forma capex. On a yearly basis, confirmed the target of around 18% reduction in the 2017 pro-forma capex vs 2016.

Free cash flow > Approximately €700 million to fund the cash dividend.

Cash neutrality > Organic cash coverage of capex and the floor dividend confirmed at a Brent scenario of approximately 60$/bbl in 2017.

Disposals > Finalized the disposal of a 25% interest in Area 4 in Mozambique to ExxonMobil for a total consideration of approximately $2.8 billion. Finalized the disposal of the Gas & Power retail business in Belgium in July 2017. Overall, in 2017, finalized disposals amount to €2.9 billion, representing 60% of minimum target planned for the 2017-2010 period.

Leverage > As of June 30, 2017, leverage was 0.32, up from 0.28 at December 31, 2016; well below the 0.30 threshold at year end based on Eni’s scenario assumptions, driven by cash flow from operations and disposals.

Interim dividend > In light of the financial results achieved in the first half of 2017 and the Company’s progress on the industrial plan targets, the interim dividend proposal to the Board of Directors will amount to €0.40 per share.

Hydrocarbon production > 1.783 million boe/d in the first half of 2017, up by 2.8% from the comparative period, up by 6.1% excluding negative price effects of PSAs and OPEC cuts (a total amount of 50 kboe/d). Confirmed FY production target of 1.84 mln boe/d (up by 5% from 2016) leveraging on new project start-ups and ramp-ups of fields entered into operations in 2016.

Exploration successes > In the first half of 2017, Eni continued its track record of exploration successes. Successfully drilled two wells in the Amoca discovery offshore Mexico, boosting the resource estimate of Area 1 to 1.3 billion barrels of oil equivalent in place. The definition of the development plan is expected this year. Other relevant successes achieved in Libya, Indonesia and Norway, a total of 500 million boe of additions to the Company’s reserve backlog.

¹ Net of reimbursement of capex relating to asset disposals and the advances cashed in from our State owned partners in the Zohr project.

Eni Interim Consolidated Report / Operating review

Exploration & Production

		Started large and highly cash generative projects of East Hub in Angola, Jangkrik in Indonesia and OCTP in Ghana. Confirmed the start-up of Zohr in Egypt by the end of 2017.

		Continuing strong exploration track record with approximately 500 million boe of exploration resources. Confirmed 2017 target of 0.8 bln boe of new resources, at a unitary discovery cost of approximately 1 $/boe.

Mineral right portfolio and exploration activities

In the first half of 2017, Eni performed its operations in 44 countries located in five continents. As of June 30, 2017, Eni’s mineral right portfolio consisted of 763 exclusive or shared rights for exploration and development activities for a total acreage of 328,053 square kilometers net to Eni (323,896 square kilometers net to Eni as of December 31, 2016). In the first half of 2017, changes in total net acreage mainly derived from: (i) new leases mainly in Cyprus, Ivory Coast and Norway for a total acreage of approximately 11,000 square kilometers; (ii) the total relinquishment of licenses mainly in Egypt and Kenya covering an acreage of approximately 4,700 square kilometers; (iii) partial relinquishment in Gabon and Pakistan and interest reduction in Egypt for approximately 2,100 square kilometers.

In the first half of 2017, a total of 7 new exploratory wells were drilled (4.7 of which represented Eni’s share), as compared to 8 exploratory wells drilled in the first half of 2016 (4.8 of which represented Eni’s share).

Oil and gas production

In the first half of 2017, oil and natural gas production averaged 1.783 mmboe/d, up by 2.8% from the first half of 2016. This performance was driven by new project start-ups and the ramp-up at fields started up in 2016, mainly in Angola, Egypt, Ghana, Indonesia, Kazakhstan and Norway (an overall contribution of 192 kboe/d) as well as by higher maintenance activity of the first half of 2016. This trend was partly offset by OPEC production cuts, the negative price effect and mature fields declines. When excluding the price effect on PSAs contracts and OPEC cuts (overall approximately 50 kboe/d), hydrocarbon production increased by 6.1%.

Eni Interim Consolidated Report / Operating review

Liquids production was 830 kbbl/d in the first half of 2017, down by 4.7% from the same period a year ago. Production shutdowns and mature fields declines were partly offset by start-ups and ramp-ups of the period mainly in Angola, Ghana, Kazakhstan and Norway.

Natural gas production was 5,203 mmcf/d in the first half of 2017, up by 10.5% from the same period a year ago. Start-ups and ramp-ups were partly offset by mature fields declines.

Oil and gas production sold amounted to 301 mmboe. The 21.7 mmboe difference over production (322.7 mmboe) mainly reflected volumes of natural gas consumed in operations (16.6 mmboe), changes in inventory levels and other variations.

Eni Interim Consolidated Report / Operating review

Main exploration and development projects

Italy

On July 18 2017, Eni has restarted operations at the Val d'Agri Oil Center (“COVA”) following approval from the Regional Council of the Basilicata Region. The resumption of the plant's operational activities follows approval from the relevant Authorities confirming the functionality of the plant and the presence of all necessary safety conditions. The shutdown of the plant occurred on April 18, 2017. During the period of the shutdown, Eni has performed all the remediation measures requested by the relevant Authorities, including the upgrading of an oil tank where the spill originated, which was equipped with a double-bottom. For further information, see also Note no. 29 “Guarantees, commitments and risks” to condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Development activities in the Adriatic offshore concerned: (i) maintenance and production optimization, mainly at the Barbara and Porto Garibaldi-Agostino fields; and (ii) start-up of the Poseidon project in collaboration with national scientific Authorities and Institutes to transform certain platform into scientific stations for marine environment research.

Following the Memorandum of Understanding for the Gela area, signed with the Ministry of Economic Development in November 2014, the Argo and Cassiopea offshore development project progressed. The project was submitted to the relevant Authorities and planned an optimization activities aiming to reduce environmental impact and to improve significantly environmental indicator by clearing visual impact and emissions reduction while supporting local content and resuming economic activities. The plan provides significant synergies with the Gela Refinery leveraging on the recovery of certain areas already reclaimed for the construction of gas treatment plants. This program is subject to the authorization of the relevant Authorities.

Within the boost and upgrading of the socio-economic activities of the area, in agreement with the Municipality of Gela and the Sicilian Region, activities relating to the first year of the Objective School project were completed, including the school-work alternation, first-level apprenticeships, program to reduce school drop-out and college scholarship.

Rest of Europe

Norway Exploration activities yielded positive results with: (i) the Cape Vulture oil and gas discovery in the PL128/128D license (Eni’s interest 11.5%) in the Norwegian Sea, nearby to the production facilities of the Norne field (Eni’s interest 6.9%). Eni estimates the resources in place of oil and gas to be approximately 130 million boe; and (ii) the Kayak oil discovery in the PL532 license (Eni’s interest 30%). The well is located nearby to the Johan Castberg developing project in the area. The Kayak discovery is expected to retain from 100 to 180 million barrels of oil in place.

These discoveries represent a significant achievement of the Eni’s near-field strategy for a fast-track development of exploration successes leveraging on existing production facilities.

Development activities mainly concerned: (i) the drilling of a new injection well and drilling activities start-up of an additional production well of the Goliat field (Eni operator with a 65% interest); (ii) infilling activities to support production of the Ekofisk and Eldfisk fields (Eni’s interest 12.39%) in the North Sea and Heidrun (Eni’s interest 5.2%) and Norne (Eni’s interest 6.9%) fields in the Norwegian Sea; and (iii) ongoing pre-execution activities of the Johan Castberg project (Eni’s interest 30%) in the Barents Sea. The development project is subjected to be approved by the relevant Authorities, which is expected by the end of the year.

North Africa

Algeria In June 2017, Eni signed with the relevant Authorities a 15-year extension agreement of the Block 403 fields (Eni’s interest 50%), and a possible further 10-year extension. The agreement includes the option for the gas potential resources’ development in the area also by means of the existing treatment facilities of the MLE project in the Block 405b (Eni’s interest 75%).

The OCTP project start-up was achieved in just two years and a half as well as three months earlier than scheduled and with a record time-to-market. The development project has been put into production the Sankofa Main, Sankofa East and Gye-Nyame fields with 770 million boe in place, of which 500 million barrels of oil and 270 million boe of non-associated gas (approximately 1,4 Tcf). The development of gas project will support entirely domestic market. Production will be carried out via a floating production, storage and offloading unit (FPSO), which will produce up to 85 kboe/d through 18 underwater wells. Natural gas production will be transported via a submarine pipeline to the onshore facilities to be processed and linked to Ghana’s national grid, supplying approximately 180 mmcf/d.

The OCTP project has been developed in compliance with the highest environmental requirements, zero gas flaring and produced water re-injection, including the Performance Standards on Environmental and Social Sustainability of the International Finance Corporation (IFC), which is part of the World Bank Group.

Mozambique In March 2017, ExxonMobil and Eni signed sale and purchase agreement to acquire a 25% indirect interest in the Area 4 block, offshore Mozambique, through a sale of 35.7% stake in Eni East Africa. The agreed terms include a cash price of approximately $2.8 billion. The acquisition will be completed subject to satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, including clearance from Mozambican and other regulatory Authorities. Following completion of the transaction, Eni East Africa will be co-owned by Eni and ExxonMobil with a 35.7% stake and the remaining interest of 28.6% by CNPC. Eni will continue to lead the Coral South FLNG project and all upstream operations in Area 4, while ExxonMobil will lead the construction and operation of natural gas liquefaction facilities onshore. This operating model will enable the use of best practices and skills within Eni and ExxonMobil with each company focusing on distinct and clearly defined scopes while preserving the benefits of a fully integrated project.

In June 2017, the implementation phase of the Coral South FLNG project was launched. All the drilling, construction and installation contracts for the production facilities were signed, as well as agreements with the lenders and the Mozambican government for the regulatory framework and financing of the project. The Coral South FLNG is the first project in the development of the significant gas resources discovered by Eni in Area 4 of the Rovuma Basin. This result comes just three years since the drilling of the final exploration well.

The project expects to produce up to 5 TCF of gas by means of the installation of a floating unit (“Coral South FLNG”) for the treatment, liquefaction and storage of natural gas with a capacity of approximately 3.4 mmtonnes/y (approximately 176 bcf/y) fed by 6 subsea wells and start-up expected in 2022. The FLNG facilities construction will be financed through Project Finance covering 60% of its entire cost. This is the first Project Finance ever arranged in the world for a liquefaction floater. The financing agreement has been subscribed by 15 major international banks and guaranteed by 5 Export Credit Agencies.

Within the binding agreement signed in October 2016, all LNG produced will be sold to BP.

In the Cabo Delgado and Maputo areas, Eni has engaged a significant program to support population, including access to energy, access to water, health and sanitation, as well as education and training activities.

Refining

In the first half of 2017, Eni’s refining throughputs in Europe were 11.45 mmtonnes, down by 0.64 mmtonnes or by 5.3% from the first half of 2016.

Volumes processed in Italy were down by 5.8% due to the unavailability of some plants at Sannazzaro and the standstill at Taranto refinery, partly offset by higher refining throughputs at the Milazzo refinery.

Volumes processed outside Italy (1.39 mmtonnes) slightly decreased by 1.4%, following some standstills at Bayern Oil refinery in Germany in the first quarter of 2017.

Approximately 13% of processed crude volumes were supplied by Eni’s Exploration & Production segment (down by 1 percentage point from 14% reported in the first half of 2016).

Barely unchanged the volumes of green feedstock processed at the Venice plant. The strong production increase (up by 60% y-o-y) recorded in the second quarter of 2017 was partly offset by the effects of the planned standstill in the first quarter of 2017.

As of June 30, 2017, Eni’s retail network in Italy consisted of 4,359 service stations, recording a decrease from December 31, 2016 (4,396 service stations), resulting from the negative balance of acquisitions/releases of lease concessions (31 units) and the closing of 6 low throughput service stations.

Eni Interim Consolidated Report / Operating review

Average throughput (777 kliters) increased by 31 kliters from the first half of 2016 (746 kliters) due to effective marketing initiatives.

Retail sales in the Rest of Europe

Retail sales in the rest of Europe of approximately 1.23 mmtonnes decreased by 8.2% from the corresponding period of 2016, reflecting the asset disposal in the Eastern Europe.

As of June 30, 2017, Eni’s retail network in the rest of Europe consisted of 1,228 units (an increase of 2 service stations from December 31, 2016).

Average throughput (1,183 kliters) increased by 66 kliters compared to the first half of 2016.

Wholesale and other sales

Wholesale sales in Italy amounted to 3.66 mmtonnes, down by approximately 0.19 mmtonnes or by 4.9% from the first half of the previous year, mainly due to lower volumes marketed of gasoil and bunkering, partly offset by higher volumes sold of jet fuel.

Supplies of feedstock to the petrochemical industry (0.40 mmtonnes) decreased by 23.1% due to lower demand from the industrial segment.

Wholesale sales in the rest of Europe were 1.46 mmtonnes, down by 2.7 % from the first half of 2016 due to the Eastern Europe asset disposal.

Other sales in Italy and outside Italy (6.25 mmtonnes) increased by approximately 0.15 mmtonnes or by 3.9%, mainly due to higher sales volumes to oil companies.

Petrochemical sales of 1,935 ktonnes were barely unchanged from the first half of 2016 (up by 4 ktonnes, or 0.2%). Sales of polyethylene increased by 16.7% due to higher availability of product reflecting the unplanned standstills at Ragusa and Ferrara plants occurred in 2016. Also sales of styrene increased by 4.7% reflecting higher sales of expandable polystyrene, driven by unplanned standstill at Mantova site in the first half of 2016. Volumes sold of ethylene in the intermediates lowered by 10.8% y-o-y reflecting the above mentioned standstills occurred in the first half of 2016 which boosted direct sales to the market. This effect was partly offset by higher sales of butadiene driven by a favorable scenario.

Average unit sales prices were 23% higher compared with the first half of 2016. Monomers prices (up by 39%), particularly of butadiene (up by 187%) and benzene (up by 44%) reflect the robust recovery of the market as well as polymers price (up by 18%), particularly of elastomers (up by 38%) and styrene (up by 15%).

Petrochemical production of 3,033 ktonnes increased by 135 ktonnes (up by 4.7%). Major production increases occurred at the Oberhausen site (up by 33.7%) due to plants optimization and Grangemouth (up by 19.5%) due to the start-up of the new butadiene-based rubber production line. These effects were partially offset by lower productions registered at Dunastyr (down by 14.5%) reflecting an unplanned standstill and Porto Torres (down by 5.9%).

Capital expenditure

In the first half of 2017, capital expenditure in the Refining & Marketing and Chemicals segment amounted to €251 million and regarded mainly: (i) refining activity in Italy and outside Italy (€141 million) aiming fundamentally at plants improving, as well as initiatives in the field of health, security and environment; (ii) regulation compliance and stay in business initiatives in the refined product retail network in Italy and in the Rest of Europe (€38 million); (iii) a number of initiatives in the Chemicals segment (€72 million).

Net profit

In the first half of 2017, Eni reported a net profit of €983 million compared to a net loss of €1,242 million reported in the first half of 2016 that was affected by the oil price downturn and a €413 million charge on the Saipem shareholding following the loss of control over the investee.

The 2017 first half result was driven by a 30% increase in the Brent price y-o-y, production growth and a significantly improved performance in the mid and downstream businesses due to long-term contracts renegotiations and the restructuring initiatives executed in the latest years, which allowed the Company to fully capture a more favorable trading environment. These drivers determined an increase of more than 700% of the operating profit (up by €2.35 billion). However, the first half trend was uneven with the net result entirely earned in the first quarter due to the volatility in crude oil prices supported by the announcement of the OPEC cuts in the first quarter, but then oil prices slowed markedly down in the second quarter because of uncertainties about the timing of recovery in market fundamentals. Furthermore, the result was negatively affected by the almost all the second quarter shutdown at the Val d’Agri oil center due to HSE issues (this event is not relevant for comparison purposes with the second quarter of 2016 also negatively affected by the Val d’Agri oil center shutdown lasted for a similar period and relating to similar issues).

Moreover, the net profit of the first half of 2017 benefitted of the tax rate normalization at a level of 57.8% as disclosed below.

In the first half of 2017, Eni recorded an adjusted operating profit of €2,853 million, almost four times greater than the first half of 2016 due to the robust performance in all businesses.

The E&P segment recorded a five-fold increase (up by €1,810 million), driven by production growth as well as a recovery in crude oil prices (the Brent benchmark was up by 30%). The G&P segment recorded an operating profit of €192 million, more than tripling y-o-y, due to the positive effects of contract renegotiations, which allowed the businesses to fully capture the more favorable market trend in the first quarter. The R&M and Chemicals businesses achieved record performances, increasing adjusted operating profits by 110% and 39% respectively, due to continuing initiatives to reduce the breakeven margin and to upgrade plants set up and the product mix allowing the businesses to fully capture a slightly more favorable trading environment and other market opportunities. In the first half of 2017, the operating profit improvement of €2.1 billion was due to a better commodity scenario for €1.9 billion and to volumes growth and cost efficiencies and optimizations for €0.2 billion.

In the first half of 2017, Eni reported an adjusted net profit of €1,207 million, compared to a net loss of €315 million in the comparative period, up by €1,522 million. This was driven by the robust recovery in operating performance and the normalization of tax rate at 55.4% due to higher profit before taxes, which helped improve the deductibility of operating expenses including those incurred in connection with PSA schemes, as well as the recognition of deferred tax assets due to the production start-up of the Ghana project and the finalization of all contracts for commencing the development phase of the Coral project in Mozambique.

Special items of the operating profit (net charges of €186 million) mainly related to:

(i)

a gain on the disposal of a 10% interest in the Zohr asset (€339 million);

(ii)

a charge of €33 million to align the doubtful credit allowance of the retail G&P business (included in the G&P reportable segment) to the “expected loss” accounting model replacing the criteria of the incurred loss in the evaluation of the recoverability of trade receivables); as well as a downward revision of revenues accrued on the sale of gas and power for past reporting periods (€42 million);

(iii)

the write down of capital expenditure relating to certain Cash Generating Units in the R&M business, which were impaired in previous reporting periods and continued to lack any prospects of profitability (€58 million);

(iv)

a risk provision for an arbitration with a supplier (€82 million);

(v)

environmental provisions (€42 million) and provisions for redundancy incentives (€45 million);

(i)

the effects of the fair-value evaluation of certain commodity derivatives lacking the formal criteria to be accounted as hedges under IFRS (a charge of €235 million);

(ii)

other gains (€12 million).

Non-operating special items included the tax effects related to the operating special items and the extraordinary charges/impairments recognized by Saipem and attributable to Eni (€62 million).

In the first half of 2017, Eni results were realized in a trading environment featuring a recovery in the Brent marker price (up by 30 % from the first half of 2016), in particular in the first quarter of the year due to the announcement of the OPEC cuts, which were upheld also by non-members countries (particularly Russia). In the following months, Brent marker prices slowed down reflecting a faster-than-expected ramp-up of Libya and Nigeria productions (OPEC countries exempted from cuts), a resumptions of US unconventional productions as well as the high levels of global crude oil stockpiles, which fuelled uncertainties about the timing of recovery in market fundamentals. Gas prices were positively affected by the recovery of the relevant markets (the United States and Europe).

The Standard Eni Refining Margin (SERM) that gauges the profitability of Eni’s refineries, increased its value to 4.7 $/bbl (up by 6.8%) in a context of stable relative prices of products compared to the cost of the petroleum feedstock.

EUR/USD exchange rate of 1.083 recorded a depreciation (down by 3%) compared to the average exchange rate recorded in the first half of 2016.

Net sales from operations

Eni’s net sales from operations in the first half of 2017 (€33,690 million) increased by €6,930 million or 25.9% from the first half of 2016, driven by the recovery of commodity prices.

Net sales from operations of the Exploration & Production segment (€9,326 million) increased by €2,083 million, or 28.8%, due to the recovery of oil and gas realizations in dollar terms (up by 33.5% and 10%, respectively) driven by the trend of market Brent and the recovery of the reference markets.

Net sales from operations of the Gas & Power segment (€25,652 million) increased by €5,888 million, or 29.8%, due to the recovery of gas and power prices. As far as commodity trading, the increase reflects higher oil and fuel prices. A downward revision of revenues was accrued on the sale of gas and power for past reporting periods (€42 million) affecting the retail business sales.

Net sales from operations of the Refining & Marketing and Chemicals segment (€10,859 million) increased by €2,161 million (up by 24.8%) driven by the recovery of the commodities prices. Average sales unit prices of Chemicals business increased by 23% due to the rebalancing and optimization of product portfolio on high value segments which allowed the businesses to fully capture the favorable trends in certain market segments.

Other income and revenues

Other income and revenues in the first half of 2017 (€626 million) included gains on disposal of fixed assets and miscellaneous gains. Compared to 2016, other income and revenues increased by 24.7% due to the gain on the disposal of a 10% interest in the Zohr asset (€339 million).

Depreciation, depletion and amortization charges (€3,777 million) reported a slight increase of €72 million (up by 1.9%) compared to the first half of 2016 mainly in the Exploration & Production segment due to start-ups and ramp-ups of new projects partially offset by the appreciation of the euro against the dollar.

Impairments (€61 million) mainly related to investments made for compliance and stay-in-business purposes at cash generating units previously written-off in the Refining & Marketing and Chemicals segment lacking any prospects of profitability (€58 million).

The write-off amounting to €193 million mainly related to the costs of exploratory wells lacking the requisites for continuing capitalization because they did not encounter commercial quantities of hydrocarbons, mainly in Egypt and Norway.

The main drivers were: (i) a negative change amounting to €156 million in exchange rate differences and exchange rate derivatives, with the latter being recognized through profit because such derivatives did not meet the formal criteria to be designed as hedges under IFRS. This trend is due to the sudden depreciation of the US dollar in the last part of the first half of the year, and (ii) the circumstance that the first half of 2016 reflected the positive effect of the fair-valued option embedded in the convertible Snam bond (€26 million), settled in the first half of 2016, being the reversal in profit and loss of the implicit option as of December 31, 2015, embedded in the convertible bond.

Net income (expense) from investments

The table below sets forth the breakdown of net income from investments by segment:

First Half 2017 (€ million)	Exploration & Production		Gas & Power			Refining & Marketing and Chemicals			Corporate and other activities			Group

Other income (expense), net		2		(6	)		(3	)					(7	)
		187		(9	)		3			(34	)		147

Net income from investments amounted to €147 million and related mainly to:

(i)

Eni’s share of results of the equity accounted entities for an overall net profit of €85 million, mainly in the Exploration & Production segment (€126 million). The corporate and other activities segment reported a loss on the 30.76% interest in Saipem, accounted for with the equity accounted method (€34 million). This loss is due to impairement losses and other extraordinary charges accounted for by Saipem in its financial statements as of June 30, 2017. Excluding the extraordinary charges, the evaluation of Eni’s interest in Saipem is redetermined in a gain of €28 million;

(ii)

dividends received from entities accounted for at cost (€69 million), mainly Nigeria LNG Ltd (€53 million).

In the first half of 2017, the Exploration & Production segment reported an adjusted operating profit of €2,260 million, a five-fold increase from the same period of 2016, up by €1,810 million, driven by the recovery of oil and gas realizations in dollar terms (up by 33.5% and 10%, respectively) reflecting the Brent price trend (up by 30%) and narrowing differentials between the equity crudes basket and the Brent price, as well as production growth. These positives were partly offset by higher exploratory well write-offs.

For comments about special items, see page 25.

Adjusted net profit amounted to €1,191 million compared to the €338 million net loss recorded in the first half of 2016 (up by €1,529 million). This was due to the robust recovery in operating performance and the normalization of tax rate due to higher profit before taxes, which helped improve the deductibility of operating expenses including those incurred in connection with PSA schemes, as well as the recognition of deferred tax assets due to the production start-up of the Ghana project and the finalization of all contracts for commencing the development phase of the Coral project in Mozambique.

In the first half of 2017, the Gas & Power segment reported an adjusted operating profit of €192 million, more than tripling from the first half of 2016 (up by €136 million). This reflected the positive effects of renegotiations of long-term supply contracts, including some contract terminations, partly offset by lower one-off benefits associated to contract renegotiations finalized in the first half of 2016 with retroactive effects.

For comments about special items, see page 25.

The Gas & Power segment reported an adjusted net profit of €77 million, due to a stronger operating performance.

In the first half of 2017, the Refining & Marketing and Chemicals segment reported an adjusted operating profit of €541 million, up by €208 million or 62.5% from a year ago.

The Refining & Marketing business reported an adjusted operating profit of €231 million, more than doubled from the first half of 2016 (up by €121 million or 110% from the first half of 2016). This was due to a better market share in the retail market in Italy and the ongoing initiatives to reduce the refining breakeven margin, expected to be below $4 per barrel on average for full year 2017, which allowed to fully capture the effects of a positive scenario in the first half. Identified optimization actions contributed to offset the expected margin loss due to the downtime of some plants at the Sannazzaro and Taranto refineries.

The Chemical business reported a record performance with an adjusted operating profit of €310 million up by 39% from the first half of 2016. The first half result has equalized the overall 2015 performance, which represented a record year in the recent history of Eni’s chemical business. The improvement was driven by the restructuring plan executed in the last few years, focused on the optimization of the plants setup at core hubs and an ongoing shift of the product portfolio towards higher-value segments and the closing of marginal business. These actions enabled the business to fully capture certain favorable market trends, particularly in the olefin segment, and to achieve cost efficiencies and volume upsides.

For comments about special items, see page 25.

Adjusted net profit of €354 million increased by €106 million, reflecting a better operating performance.

Eni Interim Consolidated Report / Financial review and other information

Alternative performance measures (Non-GAAP measures)

Management evaluates underlying business performance on the basis of non-GAAP financial measures under IFRS (“Alternative performance measures”), such as 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 affect 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. 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. Non-GAAP financial measures should be read together with information determined by applying IFRS and do not stand in for them. Other companies may adopt different methodologies to determine Non-GAAP measures.

Follows the description of the main alternative performance measures adopted by Eni. The measures reported below refer to the actual performance:

Adjusted operating and net profit

Adjusted operating and net profit are determined 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. 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 segment).

Inventory holding gain or loss

This 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 as required by IFRS.

Special items

These 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; in this respect, from the reporting period 2017 special items comprise an adjustment to align the doubtful credit allowance of the retail G&P business (included in the G&P reportable segment) to the “expected loss” accounting model replacing the criteria of the incurred loss in the evaluation of the recoverability of trade receivables. The new criterion will be adopted in GAAP accounts effective January 1, 2018. This result adjustment is consistent with management assessment of this business performance and improves the correlation between revenues and costs incurred in the period with respect to the current accounting method; 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 allow to allocate to future reporting periods gains and losses on re-measurement at fair value of certain non hedging commodity derivatives and exchange rate derivatives relating to commercial exposures, lacking the criteria to be designed as hedges, including the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges and certain derivative financial instruments embedded in the pricing formula of long-term gas supply agreements of the Exploration & Production segment.

Leverage

Leverage is a Non-GAAP measure of the Company’s financial condition, calculated as the ratio between net borrowings and shareholders’ equity, including non-controlling interest. Leverage is the reference ratio to assess the solidity and efficiency of the Group balance sheet in terms of incidence of funding sources including third-party funding and equity as well as to carry out benchmark analysis with industry standards.

Adjusted cash flow

Adjusted cash flow is defined as net cash provided from operating activities before changes in working capital at replacement cost.

Free cash flow

Free cash flow represents 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.

Eni Interim Consolidated Report / Financial review and other information

Free cash flow 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.

Net borrowings

Net borrowings is calculated as total finance debt less cash, cash equivalents and certain very liquid investments not related to operations, including among others non-operating financing receivables and securities not related to operations.

Financial activities are qualified as “not related to operations” when these are not strictly related to the business operations.

Coverage

Financial discipline ratio, calculated as the ratio between operating profit and net finance charges.

Current ratio

Measures the capability of the company to repay short-term debt, calculated as the ratio between current assets and current liabilities.

Debt coverage

Rating companies use the debt coverage ratio to evaluate debt sustainability. It is calculated as the ratio between net cash provided by operating activities and net borrowings, less cash and cash-equivalents, Securities held for non-operating purposes and financing receivables for non operating purposes.

The following tables report the group operating profit and Group adjusted net profit and their break-down by segment, as well as is represented the reconciliation with net profit attributable to Eni’s shareholders of continuing operations.

Summarized Group Balance Sheet

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.

(a) For a reconciliation to the statutory statement of cash flow see the paragraph “Reconciliation of Summarized Group Balance Sheet and Statement of Cash Flows to Statutory Schemes”.

The Summarized Group Balance Sheet was affected by the movement on the EUR/USD exchange rate which determined a decrease in net capital employed, total equity and net borrowings by €4,350 million, €3,500 million and €850 million, respectively.

This was due to the translation into euros of the financial statements of US-denominated subsidiaries reflecting an 8.3% appreciation of the euro against the US dollar (1 EUR=1.141 at June 30, 2017, compared to 1.054 at December 31, 2016).

Fixed assets (€75,945 million) decreased by €3,784 million from December 31, 2016. The item “Property, plant and equipment” decreased by €3,208 million. The negative effect of exchange rate, DD&A (€3,777 million) and exploratory wells write-off were partly offset by capital expenditure for the period (€4,923 million).

Assets held for sale including related liabilities (€165 million) related mainly to the retail gas & power business in Belgium. The disposal was finalized on July 10, 2017. In addition, assets held for sale include Coral South FLNG DMCC, a company temporarily controlled by Eni, and intended to collect funds through project financing agreements with international lenders destined to support the construction of the floating production unit of the LNG project. Eni will shortly dispose of the stake in excess to its working interest in the upstream project (currently at 50%) to the other Concessionaires of Area 4.

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 financial 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.

Total debt amounted to €27,075 million, of which €7,042 million were short-term (including the portion of long-term debt due within 12 months equal to €4,191 million) and €20,033 million were long-term.

The ratio of net borrowings to shareholders’ equity including non-controlling interest – leverage – was 0.32 at June 30, 2017, an increase compared to 0.28 at December 31, 2016 due to a reduction in total equity.

Summarized Group Cash Flow Statement

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; and (ii) change 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.

Eni Interim Consolidated Report / Financial review and other information

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to €4.64 billion, or €4.88 billion when excluding changes in working capital at replacement cost.

Capital expenditure for the period of €4.97 billion represented a peak due to completion of certain large projects (Angola, Ghana and Indonesia) which commenced production as planned in the first half 2017.

Pro-forma capex was €4.27 billion, which excluded the share of capex to be borne by the operators who purchased interests in certain Group exploration assets under development (namely in Egypt and Mozambique) with retroactive economic effects, the capex share of which will be reimbursed to Eni at the closing of the underlying transactions, as well as advances cashed in from State-owned partners in the Zohr project. Cash flow generated from operations in excess of funding pro-forma capex amounted to €0.70 billion and covered part of the payment of the 2016 final dividend to Eni’s shareholders (€1.44 billion). Proceeds from disposals (€0.62 billion) related mainly to the closing of the sale of a 10% stake in the Zohr exploration asset to BP (€0.56 billion). The total consideration includes the reimbursement of capex borne by Eni since January 1, 2016 (the 2017 amount being $64 million).

Cash flow from operations was also influenced by a lower level of receivables due beyond the end of the reporting period, being sold to financing institutions compared to the amount sold at the end of the previous reporting period (approximately €0.29 billion).

In the first half of 2017, capital expenditure amounted to €4,923 million (€4,879 million in the first half of 2016) and mainly related to:

- development activities (€4,309 million) deployed mainly in Egypt, Ghana, Angola, Congo, Iraq and Indonesia; exploration activities (€284 million) concerned mainly Cyprus, Norway, Libya, Egypt and Mexico;

- the refining activity (€141 million) aimed at improving asset reliability and efficiency, as well as upgrading the HSE plant performance; in the marketing business, capex were destined to compliance and stay in business initiatives at the retail networks in Italy and in the Rest of Europe (€38 million);

- initiatives relating to gas marketing (€34 million) as well as initiatives to improve flexibility and upgrade combined-cycle power plants (€14 million).

Risk factors and uncertainties

Foreword

In this section are described the main risks Eni faces in each of its business segments. For the disclosure on financial risks (market, counterparty and liquidity risk), see note N. 29 “Guarantees, commitments and risks” in the Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Risks related to the cyclicality of the Oil & Gas sector

Eni’s operating results, mainly of the Exploration & Production segment, are exposed to volatile prices of crude oil and natural gas. Lower oil prices decrease the Group consolidated revenues, operating profit, cash flow and results of operations y-o-y; vice versa, in case of increasing oil prices. Eni estimates that movements in oil prices affect approximately 50% of its current oil&gas production. The Company does not hedge this exposure, except for specific business’s cases or market conditions. The remaining portion of Eni’s current production is insulated from crude oil price movements considering that the Company’s property portfolio is characterized by a sizeable presence of production sharing contracts, where, due to the cost recovery mechanism, the Company is entitled to a larger number of barrels in case of a fall in crude oil prices (see below). Based on the current portfolio of oil & gas assets, Eni’s management estimates that the Company’s consolidated net profit varies by approximately €200 million for each one-dollar change in the price of the Brent crude oil benchmark with respect to the price case assumed in our financial projections for 2017 at 55 $/BBL. Free cash flow is expected to reduce/increase by a similar amount.

In the first half of 2017, trends in crude oil prices were contrasted, reflecting uncertainties among market participants about the timing of a recovery in market fundamentals. In the first quarter of 2017, oil prices were on an uptrend, supported by the announcement of the OPEC cuts. In the second quarter, this trend weakened with prices for the Brent marker losing up to 10 $/bbl from the $54 average recorded in the first quarter. This slowdown was caused by faster-than-anticipated ramp-up of production in Libya and Nigeria (these OPEC countries were exempted from cuts), the resumptions of US unconventional productions and the high worldwide crude oil stockpiles.

Eni believes that this reversal in oil price trend is temporary, since in the second half of the year, the full impact of the OPEC cuts will help crude oil market to achieve a better balance and which joined the cartel initiative will be deployed. The Cartel, whose initiative was upheld also by ten non-OPEC producing countries (including Russia), decided to cut production by 1.8 million of barrels per day compared to the level of October 2016. This level was reached by all the OPEC countries pushing up production to full capacity, and will be in force until March 2018. Against this backdrop, based on the latest IEA estimates and Eni’s forecasts, management has retained its view of a production shortfall materializing in 2017, which will support crude oil prices in the second half of the year. However, the gap between supply and global demand is now seen dropping from minus 0.8 to minus 0.6 million of barrels per day, due to a small downward revision of demand growth (from 1.4 to 1.3 millions of barrels per day) and the unexpected fast ramp-up of Libya and Nigeria productions in the second quarter. The production surpluses of the third and fourth quarter of 2017 (higher than one million boe/d in each quarter) remained unchanged. In conclusion, Eni’s management has retained its 2017 pricing assumptions of the Brent crude oil marker at 55 $/bbl adopted in the Company’s 2017-2020 strategic plan. These assumptions are in line with the market consensus of the major investment banks.

Looking forward, Eni’s management believes that crude oil prices will gradually strengthen due to improving fundamentals on the likelihood that a shortfall in production will occur in the medium term due to the large cuts implemented by international oil companies to their capital budgets, in response to the contraction in cash flows in the current oil price environment. Based on this outlook, Eni’s management has retained its long-term price assumptions of 70 $/bbl for the Brent crude oil benchmark (72 $/bbl in 2021, assuming a 2% inflation rate). This long-term price was utilized in the Group financial projections of the 2017-2020 industrial plan and in reviewing the impairment indicators in the preparation of the first half accounts as of June 30, 2017.

Eni Interim Consolidated Report / Financial review and other information

Nevertheless, this forecast is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including effective compliance of the OPEC countries and Russia with the production cuts agreement, trends in the marginal costs and in yields per rig in the US non-conventional sector and global macroeconomic dynamics. Therefore, management is retaining a rigorous capital discipline. For the FY 2017 Eni has laid out a €7.8 billion capital budget, expected to decrease by 18% from 2016, net of the reimbursements of the capex borne for the interests in certain development projects being divested to third oil companies, that will be reimbursed to Eni once the deals close. Furthermore, we are netting against the projected 2017 capex the advances that will be cashed in from our State-owned partners in the Zohr project in Egypt. Notwithstanding the capital spending reduction, the productions growth rate for the FY 2017 is expected to be 5%, in line with the post-portfolio average annual growth (3%) targeted in the 2017-2020 industrial plan.

To conciliate growth and cost reduction, management leveraged the modular approach to major projects, the renegotiation of contracts for the supply of capital goods and oil services, as well as the reduction of the idle capital through the optimization of the time-to-market of the reserves.

These actions, combined with the restructuring initiatives of mid and downstream businesses and G&A cuts are intended to reduce the oil price level at which the Company is able to achieve cash neutrality, i.e. funding of capex and floor dividend through the cash flow from operating activities. Cash neutrality is expected to be at 60 $/bbl for the FY 2017.

In the currently weak commodity environment, capital discipline is key to get an healthy balance sheet, considering that the Oil & Gas industry is a capital-intensive sector that needs significant financial resources for the exploration, development and production of hydrocarbons. Despite the 18% capex reduction planned for the 2017 (14% reported in the first half), management may reconsider the expenditure plan in the second half of the year, depending on the evolution of market conditions.

Historically, Eni’s capital expenditures have been financed with cash generated by operations, proceeds from asset disposal, borrowings under its credit facilities and proceeds from the issuance of debt and bonds. Notwithstanding the reduction of the capex cash neutrality (projected at around 45 $/BBL on average in the ’17-’20 industrial plan), actual cash flow from operations may be affected by factors such as: (i) the actual prices Eni receives for sales of crude oil and natural gas; (ii) amount of actual production of oil & gas; (iii) time-to-market of Eni’s reserves; iv) political risks; v) cost efficiencies. If cash generated by operations is not sufficient to meet capital and dividend requirements, the failure to obtain additional financing could result in a curtailment of operations relating to development of Eni’s reserves. The Group retains a liquidity reserve as part of its financial strategy, with the object of copying with sudden, unexpected or unplanned funding needs such as: (i) exogenous shocks (difficulty in access to credit, macroeconomic environment, the commodity scenario); (ii) ensure the targeted financial flexibility to the Group growth plans. Because of the above-mentioned risks, an extended continuation of the current commodity price environment, or further declines in commodity prices, will materially and adversely affect our business prospects, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity, ability to finance planned capital expenditures and commitments and may impact shareholder returns, including dividends and the share price. Moreover, the Company could revise the oil & gas assets values in order to detect significant write-downs and reconsider long-term investment plans based on the price impact on projects profitability, whereas current prices could be lower compared to business plans prices. This could lead to deletion, postponement or different modulation of projects with negative impact on growth rates and perspective of self-financing future growth. Given the complexity of the evaluation process and the long lead times of these projects, Eni, like other international oil companies adopts long-term pricing assumptions on the basis of the best estimate of the market fundamentals. Volatile oil prices represent an uncertainty factor in view of achieving the Company’s operating targets of production growth and reserve replacement due to the relevant amount of Production Sharing Agreements (PSA) in Eni’s portfolio. Under such contracts, the Company is entitled to receive a portion of the production, the sale of which should cover expenditures incurred and earn the Company a share of profit. Accordingly, the higher are the reference prices for crude oil used to determine production and reserve entitlements, the lower is the number of barrels to cover the same dollar amounts hence the amounts of booked production and reserves; and vice versa. The Company currently estimates that production entitlements in its PSAs increases on average by approximately 20,000 boe/d or 1,900 bbl/d for each $1 increase in oil prices. This sensitivity analysis relates to the existing Eni portfolio and might vary in the future.

Eni Interim Consolidated Report / Financial review and other information

The Group’s results from its Refining & Marketing and Chemicals businesses are primarily dependent upon the supply and demand for refined and chemicals products and the associated margins on refined product and chemical products sales, with the impact of changes in oil prices on results of these segments being dependent upon the speed at which the prices of products adjust to reflect movements in oil prices.

Country risk

As of December 31, 2016, approximately 85% of Eni’s proved hydrocarbon reserves and 60% of Eni’s supplies of natural gas came from outside OECD countries, mainly Africa, Central Asia, Russia and Central-Southern America. Adverse political, social and economic developments, such as internal conflicts, revolutions, establishment of non-democratic regimes, protests, strikes and other forms of civil disorder, contraction of economic activity and financial difficulties of the local governments with repercussions on the solvency of state institutions which are lifting their share of production from the development projects where they are partnering Eni, inflation levels, exchange rates and similar events in those non-OECD countries may negatively impair Eni’s ability to continue operating in an economic way, either temporarily or permanently, and Eni’s ability to access oil and gas reserves.

In particular, Eni faces risks in connection with the following, possible issues:

(i) lack of well-established and reliable legal systems and uncertainties surrounding enforcement of contractual rights;

(ii) unfavorable enforcement of laws, regulations and contractual arrangements leading, for example, to loss of value of Eni’s assets, expropriations, nationalizations or forced divestitures of assets;

(iii) restrictions on exploration, production, imports and exports;

(iv) tax or royalty increases;

(v) negative perception of local and international stakeholders of the Oil & Gas industry with impact on media;

(vi) political and social instability which could result in civil and social unrest, internal conflicts and other forms of protest and disorder such as strikes, riots, sabotage, acts of violence and similar incidents;

(vii) difficulties in finding qualified suppliers in critical operating environment;

(viii) complex process in granting authorizations or licences affecting time-to-market of certain development projects.

In the recent years, Eni’s operations in Libya were materially affected by an internal revolution and a change of regime, which has led to a prolonged period of political and social instability. From a couple of years, Eni’s oil activities in the country have come in line with management expectations. In the first half of 2017, Eni’s production in Libya was 367 kboe/day, compared to the 2016 average level of 353 kboe/day, which represents the highest level from 2010, the year prior to the Country’s Revolution. Despite these and other positive developments, such as the reopening of the Italian embassy in Tripoli, the Libya's geopolitical situation continue to represent a source of risk and uncertainty for the foreseeable future. Currently Libya represents approximately 20% of the Group’s total production; this incidence will remain significant in the medium term. In the event of major adverse events such as the resumption of internal conflict, acts of war, sabotage, social unrest, clashes and other form of civil disorder, Eni could be forced, in these insecurity conditions, to temporarily interrupt or reduce its producing activities at the Libyan plants, negatively affecting Eni’s results of operations, cash flow and business perspectives.

With regard to Egypt, where Eni will invest significantly in the next four-year plan, particularly in the Zohr project, the political and social situation is evolving to a certain degree of stability. The government has recently introduced a series of economic measures agreed with the IMF to strengthen state finances affected by decline in tourism, and currency depreciation after Arab Spring events. Eni's operations in the country have not been interrupted by geopolitics till today; Eni is also significantly recovering credits vs state oil companies for production of hydrocarbons.

Eni Interim Consolidated Report / Financial review and other information

We have experienced disruptions lately in Nigeria where various forms of sabotage, including thefts, security threats and property damage targeted the Company's production facilities, particularly in the onshore area of the Delta of Niger, negatively affecting production and results.

To factor in possible risks of unfavorable geopolitical developments mainly in Libya but also elsewhere in other countries of Eni presence, which may lead to temporary production losses and disruptions in our operations in connection with, among others, acts of war, sabotage, social unrest, clashes and other form of civil disorder, we have applied a haircut to our future production levels based on management’s appreciation of those risks, past experience and other considerations. However, this contingency does not cover worst-case developments and worst case events, which could determine a prolonged production shutdown.

Looking forward, Eni expects that those risks will continue affecting Eni’s operations in those countries. Eni closely monitors political, social and economic risks of more than 70 countries in which has invested or intends to invest, in order to evaluate the economic and financial return of certain projects and to selectively evaluate projects.

While the occurrence of those events is unpredictable, the occurrence of any such events could adversely affect Eni’s results from operations, cash flow and business prospects, also including the counterparty risk arising from the financing exposure of Eni in case state-owned entities, which are party to Eni’s upstream projects for developing hydrocarbons, fail to reimburse due amounts.

In the current depressed environment for crude oil prices, the financial outlook of certain countries where Eni’s hydrocarbons reserves are located, in particular Venezuela and Nigeria, has significantly deteriorated due to lower proceeds from the exploitation of hydrocarbons resources.

Eni is partnering with those national oil companies in executing certain oil and gas development projects or is currently selling its equity production to national oil companies.

This risk is mitigated by the default clause customary in such contracts, pursuant to which states that in case of a default, the non-defaulting party is entitled to compensate its claims with the share of production of the defaulting party.

National oil companies may also delay the repayment of trade receivables due to Eni for the supply of equity hydrocarbons. In view of certain long-overdue exposures related to the supply of equity hydrocarbons, cost recovery and cash call to execute investments, certain of which were also disputed by our counterparties, the Group has entered into arrangements with a number of National Oil Companies. Those arrangements provide for the securitization of amounts due to Eni or repayment plans whereby Eni receivables are reimbursed in instalments with the proceeds of the sale of hydrocarbons produced in mineral initiatives operated by Eni or from elsewhere.

In these circumstances, the Group recognized through profit the discount effect of those reimbursement plans utilizing a discount rate that factored in the mineral risk of underlying the reimbursement plans.

It is possible that the Group may incur further losses in connection with its commercial and financial exposure towards certain NOCs of countries which are running wide current account deficits in case of an escalation of local financial crises. Mozambique is also in financial strain, but Eni's exposure to the country is not significant today, without prejudice to the general risks described in this paragraph.

Risks associated with the exploration and production of oil and natural gas

The exploration and production of oil and natural gas require high levels of capital expenditures and are subject to natural hazards and other uncertainties, including those relating to the physical characteristics of oil and gas fields.

Exploration drilling for oil and gas involves numerous risks including the risk of dry holes or failure to find commercial quantities of hydrocarbons.

Future production targets will leverage on the ability of the Company to replace reserves through successful exploration, effectiveness and efficiency of development activities, the application of technological improvements to maximize recovery rates of producing fields and the outcome of negotiations with producing Countries.

Eni Interim Consolidated Report / Financial review and other information

An inability to replace produced reserves by finding, acquiring and developing additional reserves could adversely affect future growth prospects and this will negatively affect future results of operations, cash flow and business prospects.

By its nature, the upstream activity exposes Eni to a wide range of significant environmental, health and safety, security risks of Eni’s personnel and the neighboring communities, damage or destruction to properties.

In the Exploration & Production segment, Eni faces natural hazards and other operational risks including those relating to the physical characteristics of oil and natural gas fields. These include the risks of blowout of hydrocarbon, fire or explosion, vessel collisions, geological risks such as discovery of hydrocarbon pockets with abnormal pressure, equipment failures and other forms of accidents, can lead to loss of life, environmental damages, damage or destruction to properties, pollution and consequently potential economic losses and liabilities that could have a material and adverse effect on the business, results of operations, liquidity, reputation and prospects of the Group, including the share price and the dividends.

Eni’s operations are often conducted in difficult and/or environmentally sensitive locations such as the Gulf of Mexico, the Caspian Sea and the Arctic. In such locations, the consequences of any incident could be greater than in other locations.

In 2016, approximately 53% of Eni’s total oil and gas production for the year derived from offshore fields.

Eni is executing or is planning to execute several development projects to produce and market hydrocarbon reserves. Certain projects target the development of reserves in high-risk areas, particularly deep offshore and in remote and hostile environments or environmentally sensitive locations. The time to -to-market of the reserves could be impacted by the outcome of negotiations with co-venturers, governments and State-owned companies, timely issuance of permits and licenses by government agencies, the front-end engineering design and the commissioning phase, as well as the realization of infrastructures to export production to final market (FPSO, platform, export pipelines and other facilities).

Rates of return for long-lead-time projects are exposed to the volatility of oil&gas prices and costs which may be substantially different from the prices and costs assumed when the investment decision was actually made, leading to lower rates of return.

Environmental conditions represent an additional risk factor for Eni, considering that certain projects target the development of reserves in high-risk areas, particularly deep offshore and in remote and hostile environments or environmentally sensitive locations. In these areas, environmental and climate factors could affect the schedule and execution of development activities.

Eni’s operations are often conducted in difficult and/or environmentally sensitive locations such as the Arctic, the Caspian Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, the North Sea, Mozambique and others, where the adoption of advanced monitoring systems and environmental protection drive time elapse and cost increases.

In the last years, Eni achieved industry-leading time-to-market and cost reduction mitigating these risks by deploying certain focused strategic initiatives, applying rigorous operational standards and innovative technologies.

Among these initiatives, Eni managed project time scheduled, in-sourcing engineering at the initial phase and front end, and construction and commissioning activities. Further actions addressed improvement in the supply chain, allowing reaping the benefits of the new trend in the oil market (i.e. early production facilities and facilities refurbished).

The Company has adopted operating standards and procedures designed to mitigate the possible risk of a well blowout. Those include tight control over the geological risk, monitoring the engineering, drilling and construction of high-risk wells (HP/HT, deep offshore), in both operated and non-operated initiatives, and adopting state-of-the-art techniques for checking progress in the drilling activity including visualizing and transferring real-time data to the headquarter control room.

We believe that our well portfolio features a low risk profile considering that the majority of our wells is localized onshore or in shallow water and also the low incidence of HP/HT wells. Particularly, Eni forecasts that 16% of the total wells expected to be drilled in the next four-years plan belongs to the high-risk category.

The operatorship of petroleum activities is another leg of our risk-mitigation policy because it enables us to deploy our excellent operating standards and procedures in managing well operations. In the next four years, we plan to increase by 40% the operated gross production from the current level of 4 million boe/d targeting to reduce the exposure to third-parties operational risk.

Eni Interim Consolidated Report / Financial review and other information

Operational risks and associated HS&E risks

The Group engages in the exploration and production of oil and natural gas, processing, transportation, and refining of crude oil, transport of natural gas, storage and distribution of petroleum products and the production of base chemicals, plastics and elastomers, in Italy and abroad. By their nature, the Group’s operations expose Eni to a wide range of significant health, safety, security and environmental risks.

Technical faults, breakdown of equipment and facilities, human errors, acts of sabotage, loss of containment, naval collisions, and adverse weather events can trigger damaging events such as explosions, fires, oil and gas spills from wells, pipelines, depots and pipelines, release of contaminants, toxic emissions.

These risks are affected by geography and climatic conditions of the areas in which operations are conducted, the presence of sensitive ecosystems and safeguarded species, the technical complexity of industrial activities and the technical difficulties in the implementation of recovery and containment of oil or other chemical liquids or gas also considering the sensitiveness of the neighboring ecosystems (e.g. onshore vs offshore, sensitive habitats such as the Arctic, the Gulf of Mexico, the Caspian Sea, refineries located near urban areas).

For these reasons, the activities of the oil industry are subjected to a strict regulation aiming to protect the environment, health and safety, defined by both national authorities and international conventions and protocols.

Rules impose restrictions and prohibitions of various types, provide for the control and compliance with the emission limits of pollutants in air, water and soil, limiting the gas flaring and venting, prescribe the correct management of waste and industrial waste, as well as the preservation of species, habitats and ecosystem services, attracting increasingly stringent requirements for operators and stringent in terms of controls, environmental monitoring and prevention measures.

Fees and costs associated with the needed actions to comply with the obligations foreseen by regulations supervising industrial activities in the hydrocarbon field represent a material cost in the current year and in future ones.

Eni has adopted integrated management systems, safety standards, high quality and reliability operational practices to comply with environmental regulations and to protect the integrity of people, environment, operations, properties and communities involved.

The occurrence of described events which could also be catastrophic could have a material adverse effect on Eni's management, results of operations, consolidated financial conditions, business prospects, reputation and shareholders’ value (including Eni’s share price and dividends).

Environmental laws require polluters to perform site cleanups and restore the original state of soil and water contaminated by residues of industrial activities or as a result of accidents, spills and leaks of various kind.

Eni could be materially exposed to these risks in its countries of operations considering the inherent risk in producing, treating and handling hydrocarbon and its derivatives, with possible adversely effect on the Group’s results of operations, liquidity, corporate reputation and shareholders’ return.

As far as these risks are concerned, it is worth mentioning the shutdown of operations at the Val d'Agri Oil Center (COVA), which lasted almost a full quarter (from April 18, 2017 to July 18, 2017). The shutdown was caused by the detection of a small quantities of oil in the external area bordering the COVA. Notwithstanding the promptness and efficacy of remediation measures performed by Eni, the shutdown of COVA negatively affected the Group results and cash flow for the first half of 2017.

Furthermore, relating to Italy, Eni is exposed to the risk of expenses and environmental liabilities in connection with the environmental impact of its past industrial activities that the Company disposed of, liquidated, closed or shut down in prior years where Group products were produced, processed, stored, distributed or sold, such as chemical plants, mineral-metallurgic plants, refineries and other facilities.

At those industrial hubs, Eni has undertaken a number of initiatives to restore and clean-up proprietary or concession areas that were allegedly contaminated and polluted by the Group’s industrial activities.

State or local public administrations have sued Eni for environmental and other damages and for clean-up and remediation measures in addition to those which were performed by the Company, or which the Company committed to perform. In some cases, Eni is part of criminal proceedings (for example for alleged environmental crimes such as failure to land reclamation, environmental disaster).

Eni Interim Consolidated Report / Financial review and other information

Despite Eni declared to be a "not guilty owner" because not responsible for exceeding pollution thresholds allowed by existing laws, as well as because the Group succeeded in many cases to other operators in the management of such sites, it cannot be excluded that Eni cannot incur such environmental liabilities.

Eni’s financial statements account for provisions relating to costs to be incurred with respect to clean-ups and sites restoration of contaminated areas.

This is due to a legal obligation or similar in respect of which is possible to reliably estimate the amount of its liabilities (this is anyway, in the realization phases, a factor of uncertainty in relation to the complexity of the subject), regardless of any responsibility of other parties to which Eni has taken over.

It is still possible that in the future Eni may incur further liabilities in addition to the amounts already accrued due to the results of ongoing surveys or surveys to be carried out on the environmental status of certain of Eni’s industrial sites as required by the applicable regulations on contaminated sites, unfavorable developments in ongoing litigation on the environmental status of certain of the Company’s sites where a number of public administrations and the Italian Ministry of the Environment act as plaintiffs and other risk factors.

With specific reference to the oil and gas exploration and production activities, in accordance with regulations applicable in all jurisdictions where Eni operates, the Company is required to support the costs of decommissioning of platforms and other equipments of extraction and restoration of areas at the end of the oil activities.

Eni’s consolidated financial statements account for the best estimate of costs expected to be incurred with respect to such obligations. These estimates are subject to risks and uncertainties of various kinds (accuracy of the estimate, cost overrun, amplitude of the time frame, tightening of regulations, development of new technologies, etc.).

For more information on HSE risks, including risks related to climate change and how Eni manages and control these risks, please refer to the paragraph "Risks" of 2016 Annual Report on Form 20-F.

Risks and uncertainties associated with competition in the gas market

The outlook of the European gas market remains unfavorable due to oversupply, exacerbated by increased availability of liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) globally, and weak demand dynamics. Growth in gas demand has been dampened by sluggish macroeconomic activity in the Eurozone, the increasing use of renewable sources in the production of electricity and the competition from cheaper fossil fuels (like coal) in firing thermoelectric production. Looking forward, management does not expect any meaningful acceleration in gas demand growth in Italy and in Europe and is forecasting a flat demand until 2020.

Demand growth expected in the thermoelectric segment, weakened by the increase in renewable sources, will be partly offset by lower consumption in the final markets following energy efficiency actions mostly concentrated in the residential segment.

Against the backdrop of a deteriorating competitive environment, management has periodically renegotiated the Company’s long-term supply contracts with take-or-pay clauses, where the Company is obliged to offtake a contractually set minimum volume of gas supplies or, in case of failure, to pay the contractual price (see below risks on take-or-pay). The renegotiations allowed the Company to adjust the original oil-linked indexation mechanism of the purchase costs to market benchmarks at approximately 70% of the Company’s supply portfolio, ensuring better competitiveness for the Group’s gas.

Eni anticipates a number of risk factors to the profitability outlook of the Company’s gas marketing business over the four-year planning period. Those include the weak demand trend reflecting macroeconomic uncertainties, continuing oversupplies and the risk of deterioration in the spread of Italian spot prices versus continental benchmarks. Eni believes that those trends will negatively affect the gas marketing business future results of operations and cash flows by reducing gas selling prices and margins.

Against this backdrop, Eni’s management will continue to execute its strategy of renegotiating the Company’s long-term gas supply contracts in order to align pricing and volume terms to current market conditions as they evolve.

Eni Interim Consolidated Report / Financial review and other information

Management believes that the outcome of those renegotiations is uncertain in respect of both the amount of the economic benefits that will be ultimately obtained and the timing of recognition of profit. Furthermore, in case Eni and the gas suppliers fail to agree on revised contractual terms, the claiming party has the ability to open an arbitration procedure to obtain revised contractual conditions. However, also the suppliers might file counterclaim with the arbitration panel seeking to dismiss Eni’s request for a price review.

Current, negative trends in gas demands and supplies may impair the Company’s ability to fulfill its minimum off-take obligations in connection with its take-or-pay, long-term gas supply contracts

In order to secure long-term access to gas availability, particularly with a view to supplying the Italian gas market and anticipating certain trends in gas demand, which thus far have failed to materialize, Eni has signed a number of long-term gas supply contracts with national operators of certain key producing countries. These contracts include take-or-pay clauses whereby the Company is required to off-take minimum, pre-set volumes of gas in each year of the contractual term or, in case of failure, to pay the whole price, or a fraction of that price, up to the minimum contractual quantity. Long-term gas supply contracts with take-or-pay clauses expose the Company to a volume risk, as the Company is contractually required to purchase minimum annual amounts of gas or, in case of failure, to pay the underlying price.

In the medium term, this risk will be mitigated by the expected reduction of the contractual minimum take, due to expiration of some contracts. Similar considerations apply to ship-or-pay contractual obligations.

In this scenario, management is committed to the renegotiation of long-term gas supply contract and to portfolio optimization, in order to reduce the exposure to take-or-pay contracts and to the related financial risk. Thanks to contract renegotiations and effective selling activities, the Company lifted part of the underlying volumes, the purchase cost of which the Company advanced to its gas supplies in previous years due to the incurrence of the take-or-pay clause. By these means, the Company has achieved over the latest years a reduction in its deferred costs recorded in the balance sheet from €2.4 billion at the end of 2012, which was the bottom of the gas downturn, to approximately €0.3 billion as of June 30, 2017. Management plans to finalize almost completely the recovery of the residual amounts of gas paid in advance in the next four-year plan, fulfilling contractual clauses and recovering the prepaid amounts.

Risks related to legal proceedings and compliance with anti-corruption legislation

Eni is the defendant in a number of civil actions and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition to existing provisions accrued as of the latest balance sheet date to account for ongoing proceedings, it is possible that in future years Eni may incur significant losses in addition to the amounts already accrued in connection with pending legal proceedings due to: (i) uncertainty regarding the final outcome of each proceeding; (ii) the occurrence of new developments that management could not take into consideration when evaluating the likely outcome of each proceeding in order to accrue the risk provisions as of the date of the latest financial statements; (iii) the emergence of new evidence and information; and (iv) underestimation of probable future losses due to the circumstance that they are often inherently difficult to estimate.

Certain legal proceedings and investigations where Eni or its subsidiaries or its officers are parties involve the alleged breach of anti-corruption laws and regulations and ethical misconduct. Ethical misconduct and noncompliance with applicable laws and regulations, including noncompliance with anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws, by Eni, its partners, agents or others that act on the Group’s behalf, could expose Eni and its employees to criminal and civil penalties and could be damaging to Eni’s reputation and shareholder value.

Eni Interim Consolidated Report / Financial review and other information

Outlook

Exploration & Production

Confirmed the 2017 target of 0.8 bln boe of new resources, at a unitary discovery cost of approximately 1 $/bbl.

Confirmed FY production target of 1.84 mln boe/d (up by 5% from 2016) leveraging on new project start-ups (Indonesia, Angola and Ghana) and ramp-ups of fields entered into operations in 2016, mainly in Kazakhstan, Egypt and Norway. The unexpected shutdown of Val d’Agri, which lasted almost a full quarter and the impact of OPEC cuts, will be absorbed by the implementation of other initiatives to optimize production, as well as by the earlier than planned start-up of the large projects in Angola, Indonesia and Ghana.

Gas & Power

Confirmed structural positive results from 2017.

Confirmed cost position improvements by leveraging on long-term supply contracts revision already finalized in large part in the first half of the year.

Eni plans to retain market share in the large customers and retail segments, increasing the value of the existing customer base by developing innovative commercial initiatives, integrating services and optimizing operations.

Refining & Marketing and Chemicals

Confirmed the target of refining breakeven margin at 3 $/barrel in 2018.

Refinery intakes on own account are expected to decrease slightly y-o-y due to the lack of availability of certain assets at the Sannazzaro refinery and the shutdown of Taranto refinery, partially offset by higher volumes at Livorno and Milazzo refineries. Against a backdrop of strong competition, management expects to consolidate volume and market share in the Italian retail market by leveraging innovation and product and service differentiation. In the rest of Europe, sales on a like-for-like basis are expected to slightly increase.

In the Chemical business, sales are expected to trend up, due to higher production supplies. Cracker and polyethylene margins are expected to decline.

Group

Confirmed the target of around 18% reduction in capex y-o-y on a pro-forma basis, i.e. net of the capex which will be reimbursed in connection with asset disposals and advances paid by the Egyptian partners in the Zohr project.

Cash neutrality: confirmed the organic coverage of capex and dividends at a Brent price of approximately 60 $/bbl in 2017.

Leverage at the end of 2017: projected to substantially decline from 2016 level, also reflecting the expected closing of portfolio transactions, particularly the Mozambique deal.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Basis of presentation

The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the six months ended June 30, 2017 (hereinafter “Interim Financial Statements”) have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. The statements are the same adopted in the consolidated financial statements of the year ended December 31, 2016.

The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared adopting the same principles of consolidation and measurement criteria described in the consolidated financial statements of the year ended December 31, 2016 (see the related report for more information).

The Interim Financial Statements include selected explanatory notes.

Current income taxes have been calculated based on the estimated taxable profit for the interim period. Current tax assets and liabilities have been measured at the amount expected to be paid to/recovered from the tax Authorities, using tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period and the tax rates estimated on an annual basis.

Investments in subsidiaries, joint arrangements and associates as of June 30, 2017 are presented in the annex “List of companies owned by Eni SpA as of June 30, 2017”. This annex includes also the changes in the scope of consolidation.

On July 27, 2017, Eni’s Board of Directors approved the Interim Financial Statements for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The external auditor EY SpA carried out a limited review of the Interim Financial Statements; a limited review is significantly less in scope than an audit performed in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards.

The Interim Financial Statements are presented in euro and all values are rounded to the nearest million euros (€ million).

Changes in accounting policies

There have been no changes in accounting policies.

Significant accounting estimates or judgements

The significant accounting estimates and judgements made by management are disclosed in the consolidated financial statements of the year ended December 31, 2016.

International Financial Reporting Standards not yet adopted

Besides the International Financial Reporting Standards not yet adopted, which are disclosed in the consolidated financial statements of the year ended December 31, 2016, the IASB issued the following IFRSs.

On May 18, 2017, the IASB issued IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts” (hereinafter IFRS 17), which sets out the accounting for the insurance contracts issued and the reinsurance contracts held. IFRS 17, which replaces IFRS 4 “Insurance Contracts”, shall be applied for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021.

On June 7, 2017, the IASB issued IFRIC 23 “Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments” (hereinafter IFRIC 23), which clarifies the accounting for (current and/or deferred) tax assets and liabilities when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. IFRIC 23 shall be applied for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.

68	Eni Interim Report
	Notes to the Financial Statements

Eni is currently reviewing the International Financial Reporting Standards not yet adopted in order to determine the likely impact on the Group’s financial statements.

On this regard, during the first half of 2017 the Group has carried on the analytical activities, started in 2016, aimed to assess the potential effects of IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (hereinafter IFRS 15) and IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” (hereinafter IFRS 9) on the Group’s financial statements. In particular, with reference to IFRS 15, on the one hand, the Group has continued the mapping of the issues potentially affected by the adoption of IFRS 15, confirming in substance the areas already indicated in the consolidated financial statements of the year ended December 31, 2016 (see note 7 - IFRSs not yet adopted); on the other, for the identified issues, the Group has started further analyses aimed to assess the impacts of the adoption of IFRS 15. As regards the latter, on the basis of the analyses carried out to date, to be continued during the second half of 2017, the affected areas relate essentially to: (i) in the Exploration & Production segment, the accounting for certain types of agreements with partners within oil & gas projects, due to the fact that they may not meet the definition of a customer considering the terms of the agreements. The case concerns in particular the representation of amounts of production lifted by a partner within oil & gas projects different from the agreed ones (the so called production imbalances), by recognizing revenues on the basis of the quantities actually sold (the so called sales method) instead of the entitled quantities (the so called entitlement method); (ii) in the Gas & Power segment, capitalization of the customer acquisition costs, if the entity expects to recover them, and their amortization over the expected duration of the contract; (iii) the possible representation of some kinds of revenues in other line items of the profit and loss account without impacting the operating result and the net result.

With reference to IFRS 9, on the basis of the analyses carried out to date, the areas impacted by the new standard relate essentially to: (i) the adoption of the expected credit loss model for impairment of financial assets, rather than the IAS 39 incurred loss model; and (ii) the fair value measurement for investments in equity instruments, when the cost is not an appropriate estimate of the fair value.

During the second half of 2017, the Group will continue to evaluate the likely impacts of adoption of IFRS 15 and IFRS 9, as well as it will identify the accounting policy choice to be taken upon first application of the new accounting standards. However, based on the analyses carried out to date, considering the amounts as at 31 December 2016, IFRS 15 and IFRS 9 will not have a comprehensive material impact on equity.

Trade receivables at June 30, 2017, decreased by €1,442 million from the prior year closing balance mainly in the Gas & Power segment (€1,156 million) due to the seasonality of gas sales volumes.

Trade receivables are stated net of the valuation allowance for doubtful accounts of €2,411 million (€2,371 million at December 31, 2016).

The allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to €191 million and related to the Gas & Power segment for €162 million, particularly the business of retail sales of gas and power. Eni adopted mitigation measures regarding the counterparty risk executed by Eni through specific actions of recovery and specialized external services.

Utilizations amounting to €82 million related to the Gas & Power segment for €76 million and related to the recognition of losses on doubtful accounts in the retail business.

In the first half of 2017, Eni had in place transactions to sale to factoring institutions certain trade receivables without recourse for €1,482 million, due beyond June 30, 2017 (€1,769 million at December 31, 2016, due in 2017). Sold receivables mainly related to the Gas & Power segment (€1,139 million) and the Refining & Marketing and Chemical segment (€343 million).

Trade receivables of the Exploration & Production segment outstanding at June 30, 2017 amounted to €1,298 million (€1,764 million at December 31, 2016). This amount includes: (i) receivables of €310 million (€611 million at December 31, 2016) in connection with supplies of equity hydrocarbons to State-owned oil companies in Egypt. The overdue amount of €420 million outstanding as of December 31, 2016 has been collected during the first half of 2017 through the implementation of commercial and industrial agreements with the counterparties. Those agreements included the collection of advance payments from State partners that will be offset against future deliveries of gas from the Zohr project under development (€40 million at June 30, 2017), further reducing Eni financial exposure towards the Country; (ii) receivables due by State-owned companies in Iran as part of a settlement agreement signed in 2015 regarding the recovery of past costs associated to certain petroleum projects already completed for €155 million. This amount was curtailed compared to December 31, 2016 (€264 million) through a repayment plan based on the sale of volumes of the Iranian counterpart equity crude and the attribution to Eni of a percentage of the sale proceeds.

Financing receivables associated with operating purposes of €138 million (€158 million at December 31, 2016) included loans granted to joint ventures and associates to fund the execution of Eni’s capital projects for €34 million (€28 million at December 31, 2016).

Eni Interim Report		71
	Notes to the Financial Statements

Financing receivables not associated with operating activities amounted to €364 million (€385 million at December 31, 2016) and related to: (i) restricted bank deposits in escrow for €96 million of Eni Trading & Shipping SpA (€137 million at December 31, 2016) relating to derivatives; (ii) deposits of Eni Insurance DAC for €225 million (same amount as of December 31, 2016).

Receivables from divestments amounted to €321 million (€171 million at December 31, 2016) and related to: (i) the current portion of the receivable arising from the divestment finalized in 2008 of a 1.71% interest in the Kashagan project to the local partner KazMunayGas for €157 million (€166 million at December 31, 2016). The recovery of the receivable is expected by December 2017; (ii) the current portion of the receivable of €162 million arising from the divestment of a 10% interest in the Zohr project in Egypt finalized in February 2017. The recovery of the receivable is expected partially by the end of 2017 and partially by June 2018. The description of these transactions is provided in note 16 - Other non-current assets.

Other receivables of €5,269 million (€5,693 million at December 31, 2016) included €3,842 million (€4,111 million at December 31, 2016) of receivables owed by Eni’s partners in unincorporated joint ventures that are currently executing exploration and production projects. The largest outstanding amount related to partners in Nigeria (€1,663 million) and among these the Nigerian national oil company NNPC in respect of: (i) receivables of €318 million (€382 million at December 31, 2016) related to contractual recovery of costs incurred for two oil projects (one of which is operated) under arbitration procedures. After the issuance of favorable arbitration rulings, the Company is negotiating a settlement agreement with the aim of being reimbursed of a part of the amount awarded by the arbitration procedures. The amount being negotiated will be reimbursed through the assignment to Eni of crude oil quantities owned by the state company over a period of three years; (ii) receivables of €638 million (€716 million at December 31, 2016) were overdue at the balance sheet date in relation to the cash calls owed by NNPC at certain projects operated by Eni. Eni and NNPC defined an agreement providing for a reimbursement in U.S. dollars and the attribution to Eni of a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the hydrocarbon productions which will be obtained from development activities with a low risk profile (rigless) in order to fully repay the overdue amounts within a period of five years; the residual amount has been reduced by €78 million from the outstanding amount as of December 31, 2016 through the settlement of the receivables due in 2016 of €30 million and exchange rate differences of €48 million.

Because of the short-term maturity and conditions of remuneration of trade receivables, the fair value approximated the carrying amount.

Receivables with related parties are described in note 37 – Transactions with related parties.

In preparing this interim report for the first half of 2017, management reviewed all the impairment indicators associated with the trading environment and did not recognize any major changes from the pricing assumptions incorporated in the evaluations of the annual report 2016. Despite a certain volatility observed in the crude oil price environment in the course of the first half 2017, management reaffirmed its internal view pointing to a progressive rebalancing of global crude oil supply and demand on the back of large cuts made by international oil companies to their capital budgets in reaction to cash flow shortfalls in a low price environment. Based on those assumptions, management retained its crude oil price long-term projection of $70 a barrel for the Brent benchmark ($72 at 2021 factoring and the long-term inflationary rate at 2%). This projection pares the one adopted in the impairment review of the recoverability of carrying amounts of oil&gas assets, which was performed in the Annual Report 2016. Long-term forecasts of crude oil prices made by the main financial analysts currently fall within a range of $60-80 a barrel. Management has retained its projections of refining margins within a range of $4-5 a barrel, which factors the structural imbalances of the European refining sector due to overcapacity and competitive pressures. This refining projection is consistent with the Company’s business plans in its refining business. The outlook for gas prices at the main European hubs and in the US is also unchanged due to stable fundamentals. Finally, management has made a downward revision to the margin environment in the power generation and wholesale business due to escalating competition from renewables.

The updated estimate of the weighted-average cost of capital to the Group (WACC) did not show any change from the value used in the annual report 2016. Management estimates the impairment test rates applicable to expected future cash flow deriving from of the continuing use of the Group CGUs by adjusting the Group WACC to factor in a higher or lower-than average spread for the country risk. Considering the substantial lack of any impairment indicators in the commodity margin and pricing environment, the progress in achieving production start-ups at the Group core capital projects to market hydrocarbons reserves which are on time or ahead of schedule, as well as management upholding of the target growth rate of hydrocarbon production for the full year 2017, Eni did not perform the impairment test of its tangible and intangible assets, with the sole exception of the following.

76	Eni Interim Report
	Notes to the Financial Statements

The power plants CGU have been stress-tested under a weaker margin scenario compared to 2016. This stress test did not report any evidence of impairment loss.

However, impairment losses of €58 million were recognized in the Refining & Marketing business line and related to investments of the period for compliance and stay-in-business related to some CGUs (primarily refineries) fully impaired in prior years and for which profitability expectations have remained unchanged from the previous-year impairment review.

The CGU represented by the Val d’Agri Oil Center has been shut down for almost a quarter due to an oil spill from a tank as disclosed in the legal proceeding section of these notes. However, the headroom of this CGU is large enough to absorb any cash flow shortfall due to this temporary shutdown. The OPL 245 project, with a book value amounting to €1.2 billion as of June 30, 2017 which includes unproved mineral interest due the acquisition cost and the capitalized exploration and pre-development expenditures, has been the target of judicial proceeding in Italy and in Nigeria in connection with the award to Eni of the licence as disclosed in the legal proceeding section of these notes. Currently, management believes that it is not reasonably possible the occurrence of any freeze of the development activity at the property of such extension as to impair the asset book value. Finally, the Sannazzaro refinery has been tested to verify the recoverability of the book value considering the shutdown of certain production lines, without any loss.

As of June 30, 2017, the carrying amount of the Group net assets of €48.9 billion exceeded by 3% the Group market capitalization at the same date (€47.4 billion). Considering that management has retained its long-term Brent price assumption of $70 per barrel and absent any underlying impairment indicators, management did not observe any change in the values-in-use of the Company’s largest oil&gas CGUs with respect to the values estimated at the 2016 balance sheet date. The oil&gas CGUs as a whole exhibited a sizable headroom over their respective book values. Overall, management believes that the excess of Eni’s book value over its market capitalization is a temporary one and is reflective of ongoing uncertainties among market participants about the timing of the expected rebalancing in the fundamentals of the global oil market.

The criteria adopted by Eni in identifying the Group Cash Generating Unit (CGU) and in reviewing the recoverability of carrying amounts remained unchanged in respect of the Annual Report 2016 (see note 19 - Impairment of tangible and intangible assets of the Annual Report 2016 ).

Acquisitions and capital increases directed to equity-accounted entities of €50 million primarily related to subscription of the share capital increase of Lotte Versalis Elastomers Co Ltd for €45 million.

Divestments and reimbursements of €61 million primarily related to capital reimbursements of €28 million relating to United Gas Derivatives Co and €25 million relating to Angola LNG Ltd.

The accounting under the equity method of Saipem SpA resulted in a loss of €34 million due to the recognition by the investee of restructuring costs and impairment charges of tangible assets mainly in the offshore drilling business highly exposed to the oil scenario. As of June 30, 2017, the net book value of the Eni’s investment in Saipem of €1,482 million, aligned with the corresponding portion of the net assets of the investee, exceeded by about 32% the fair value represented by the share of market capitalization of Saipem. This impairment indicator is reflective of investor uncertainty about the rebalancing of the fundamentals in the oil sector and the timing of recovery in capital expenditure plans by the clients of the Engineering & Construction sector. The outcome of the impairment test confirmed the recoverability of the carrying amount.

Financing receivables granted to joint ventures and associates amounted to €1,318 million (€1,350 million at December 31, 2016). The greatest exposure amounting to €1,011 million (€1,054 million at December 31, 2016) is towards the joint venture Cardón IV SA (Eni’s interest 50%) in Venezuela, which is currently operating and developing the Perla offshore gas field. The loan will be repaid through the cash flows generated by the gas produced by the field and supplied to the Venezuelan State-owned company, PDVSA, on the base of a gas sale agreement expiring in 2036. The recoverability of the loan was assessed in the preparation of the Annual Report 2016 based on the present value of the projected future cash flows, as part of the project impairment review, discounted by using the Eni’s WACC for Venezuela, which takes into account the business risk and the risks associated with the operational environment in the Country and on the base of the ongoing securitization agreements. During the first half 2017, no evidence of loss of value was observed in comparison to the year 2016, also considering the payments made by PDVSA to the joint venture of a portion of the gas supplies for the 2017.

The valuation at fair value of receivables for financing operating activities of €1,727 million has been determined based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at rates ranging from -0.1% to 2.5% (-0.2% and 2.6% at December 31, 2016).

The fair value of securities was derived from quoted market prices.

The repayment of the first of the three instalments of the receivable took place in the fourth quarter of 2016 with the achievement of the agreed target production level; (ii) the long-term portion amounting to €117 million of the receivable for the sale of a 10% stake in the Zohr development project in Egypt finalized in February 2017. The current portion of the receivables is reported in note 7 - Trade and other receivables.

The fair value related to derivative financial instruments is disclosed in note 25 – Derivative financial instruments.

Other non-current assets amounted to €533 million (€464 million at December 31, 2016), of which €146 million (€113 million at December 31, 2016) were deferred costs of take-or-pay gas volumes in connection with the Company’s long-term supply contracts. The amount was recognized due to the obligation to pay the contractual price of the volumes of gas, which the Company failed to collect up to the minimum contractual take in previous reporting periods in order to fulfill the take-or-pay clause provided by the relevant long-term supply contracts. The Company is entitled to off-take the prepaid volumes in future years alongside contract execution, up to contract expiration or in a shorter term as the case may be. In spite of weak market conditions in the European gas sector due to sluggish demand growth and strong competitive pressures fuelled by oversupplies, management plans to recover volumes underlying the deferred cost within the plan horizon.

The non-dilutive equity-linked bond issued provides for by a redemption value linked to the market price of Eni’s shares. The bondholders have "conversion" rights at certain times and/or in the presence of certain events, while the bonds will be cash-settled. Accordingly, to hedge its exposure, Eni purchased cash-settled call options relating to Eni shares that will be settled on a net cash basis. The convertible bond is measured at amortized cost. The conversion option, embedded in the financial instrument issued, and the call option on Eni’s shares acquired are valued at fair value with effects recognized through profit and loss.

As of June 30, 2017, Eni had undrawn long-term committed borrowing facilities of €6,065 million (€6,236 at December 31, 2016), of which €850 million due in 2017. Those facilities bore interest rates reflecting prevailing conditions on the marketplace. As of 30 June 2017, Eni did not utilize any of its currently committed long-term borrowing facilities considering the amount of the liquidity reserves retained by the Company.

Eni Interim Report		83
	Notes to the Financial Statements

Eni has in place a program for the issuance of Euro Medium Term Notes up to €20 billion, of which about €17 billion were drawn as of June 30, 2017.

The Group has credit ratings of BBB+ outlook stable and A-2, respectively for long and short-term debt, assigned by Standard & Poor’s and Baa1 outlook stable and P-2, respectively for long and short-term debt, assigned by Moody’s. Eni’s credit rating is linked to the Company’s industrial fundamentals and trends in the trading environment and, in addition, to the sovereign credit rating of Italy. Based on the methodologies used by Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s, a potential downgrade of Italy’s credit rating may trigger a potential knock-on effect on the credit rating of Italian issuers such as Eni.

Fair value of long-term debt, including the current portion of long-term debt, amounted to €25,121 million (€25,358 million at December 31, 2016). A break-down is provided below:

(€ million)	June 30, 2017		December 31, 2016

Convertible bonds		400		435
Banks		4,139		4,244
Other financial institutions		119		178
		25,121		25,358

The fair value of bonds was calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows at discount rates ranging from -0.1% to 2.5% (-0.2% and 2.6% at December 31, 2016).

As of June 30, 2017, Eni did not pledge restricted deposits as collateral against its borrowings.

Derivative fair values were estimated on the basis of market quotations provided by primary info-provider or, alternatively, appropriate valuation techniques generally adopted in the marketplace.

Fair values of non-hedging derivatives consisted of derivatives that did not meet the formal criteria to be designated as hedges under IFRS because they were entered into in order to manage net exposures to foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. Therefore, such derivatives did not relate to specific trade or financing transactions.

Fair values of trading derivatives consisted of derivatives entered for trading purposes and proprietary trading.

Fair value of cash flow hedge derivatives related to the hedges entered by the Gas & Power segment. These derivatives were entered into to hedge variability in future cash flows associated with highly probable future sale transactions of gas or electricity or on already contracted sales due to different indexation mechanism of supply costs versus selling prices. A similar scheme applies to exchange rate hedging derivatives. The effects of the measurement at fair value of cash flow hedge derivatives are given in note 27 – Shareholders’ equity and in note 31 – Operating expenses. Information on hedged risks and hedging policies is disclosed in note 29 – Guarantees, commitments and risks - Risk factors.

Options embedded in convertible bonds related to the equity-linked cash-settled bond. More information is disclosed in note 21 – Long-term debt and current portion of long-term debt.

In the course of the first half of 2017, there were no transfers between the different hierarchy levels of fair value.

Assets held for sale and liabilities directly associated with assets held for sale

Assets held for sale and liabilities directly associated with assets held for sale of €355 million and €190 million, respectively, related essentially to Eni Gas & Power NV and its subsidiary Eni Wind Belgium NV, companies operating in the gas & power retail activities in Belgium, following the sign of a binding agreement for the sale to Eneco Group, the finalization of which was completed in July 2017. The carrying amount of assets held for sale and liabilities directly associated with assets held for sale amounted to €263 million (of which current assets for €149 million) and €119 million (of which current liabilities for €104 million), respectively. In addition, assets held for sale include Coral South FLNG DMCC, a company temporarily controlled by Eni and intended to collect funds through project finance to be destined to Coral FLNG SA for financing the construction of the production unit of the LNG project. Eni in the near future is going to sell part of its shares in Coral South FLNG DMCC to the other Concessionaires in Area 4 in Mozambique. Upon the completion of the sale, Eni will lose the control of the vehicle that will be classified, as the company Coral FLNG SA, as an associated entity.

As of June 30, 2017, the amount of the guarantees and commitments remained substantially unchanged compared with the Annual Report 2016 excepting the following commitments.

On June 1, 2017, the first development phase of the gas reserves at the Coral discovery, part of the Area 4 concession offshore Mozambique, entered execution with the signing respectively: i) of the Engineering Procurement Construction Installation and Commissioning contract of a floating LNG vessel (FLNG) with the Technip- JGC - Samsung Heavy Industries consortium at a value of $5,248 million (€4,601million); and ii) of the project financing agreements with a pool of international financing institutions amounting to $4,680 million (€4,103 million). The FLNG vessel is designed to treat approximately 3.37 million tons per year of LNG. A special purpose entity, Coral FLNG SA, will own and operate the unit. Eni will retain a 50% interest in this entity. The entity will operate under a service agreement with the Concessionaires of Area 4 for the liquefaction, storage and loading of the LNG. The LNG will be supplied to BP under a long-term LNG sale and purchase agreement with take-or-pay clause and a twenty-year term, providing an option for a ten-year extension. Eni has issued through a subsidiary a parent company guarantee, whereby it irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the TJS consortium – the beneficiaries - the due and proper performance of the obligations of Coral FLNG SA in connection with execution of the EPCIC contract, up to the maximum liability of $2,624 million (€2,301 million) equal to 50% of the value of the contract. The maximum liability will be automatically reduced by any amount paid to the beneficiaries in respect of the guaranteed obligations. During the construction and the commissioning of the FLNG vessel, the project financing agreement will be supported by a debt service undertaking, which Eni has taken over in proportion to its participating interest in the industrial initiative (50%). Subsequently, in the running phase of the vessel, once the performance tests have been validated by the lenders, that guarantee will be released and the financing facility will change into a non-recourse one, terminating the obligations of the Concessionaires of Area 4. In that phase, the lenders will be assisted only by a guarantee represented by the market value of the FLNG vessel and by the contracts under the legal right of Coral FLNG SA, without prejudice over the hydrocarbons reserves. The financing and any collateral costs will be reimbursed to the lenders through a “pay-when-paid” clause, whereby loan repayments will be made through the cash flows associated with the sale of the LNG to the long-term buyer, without any obligations on part of Eni and the other Concessionaires to guarantee the performance of Coral FLNG SA towards the lenders. Furthermore, the Concessionaires have committed to financing the share of capital expenditures to be borne by the Mozambique State-owned company ENH and to guaranteeing its share of obligations towards the lenders under the debt service undertaking up to a maximum liability of $640 million, equal to €561 million ($355.56 million, equal to €311.74 million, being Eni’s share). The aforementioned guarantees issued by Eni will be proportionally taken over by ExxonMobil at the closing of the divestiture of a 50% of the interest retained by Eni in the operator of Area 4, Eni East Africa, including 50% of Eni’s share in the special purposes entities. Such divestiture entitles ExxonMobil a 25% participating interest in the industrial initiatives. Finally, as provided by the Exploration and Production Concession Contract that regulates the petroleum activities in Area 4, Eni SpA in its capacity as the parent company of the operator Eni East Africa has provided concurrently with the approval of the initial development plan of the Area reserves, an irrevocable and unconditional parent company guarantee in respect of any possible claims or any contractual breaches in connection with the petroleum activities to be carried out in the contractual area, including those activities charged to special purpose entities like Coral FLNG SA, to benefit of the Government of Mozambique and third parties. The obligations of the guarantor towards the Government of Mozambique are unlimited, whereas they provide a maximum liability of $1,500 million (€1,315 million) in respect of third-parties claims.

	Notes to the Financial Statements

This guarantee will be effective until the completion of any decommissioning activity related to both the development plan of Coral as well as any development plan to be executed within Area 4 (particularly the Mamba project). This parent company guarantee issued by Eni covering 100% of the aforementioned obligations has been taken over by the other Concessionaires (Kogas, Galp and ENH) and the Chinese shareholder of Eni East Africa, in proportion to their respective direct or indirect participating interest in the EPCC of Area 4. In addition, ExxonMobil will take over this guarantee at the closing of the divestiture of a 50% of the interest retained by Eni in the operator of Area 4 Eni East Africa. Such divestiture entitles ExxonMobil a 25% participating interest in the industrial initiatives.

The start of development projects in Angola and Ghana operated by FPSO vessels acquired through operating leases resulted in a reclassification of the relevant non-cancellable leases in the paragraph “Expected payments by period under contractual obligations” of this section and, therefore, the commitments entered by the Exploration & Production segment for the construction of the FPSO vessels were set to zero (€4,344 million at December 31, 2016).

Risk factors

Financial risks

Financial risks are managed in respect of guidelines issued by the Board of Directors of Eni SpA in its role of directing and setting of the risk limits, targeting to align and centrally coordinate Group companies’ policies on financial risks ("Guidelines on financial risks management and control"). The "Guidelines" define for each financial risk the key components of the management and control process, such as the aim of the risk management, the valuation methodology, the structure of limits, the relation model and the hedging and mitigation instruments.

Market risk

Market risk is the possibility that changes in currency exchange rates, interest rates or commodity prices will adversely affect the value of the Group’s financial assets, liabilities or expected future cash flows. The Company actively manages market risk in accordance with a set of policies and guidelines that provide a centralized model of handling finance, treasury and risk management operations based on the Company’s structures of operational finance: the parent company’s (Eni SpA) finance department, Eni Finance International SA, Eni Finance USA Inc and Banque Eni SA, which is subject to certain bank regulatory restrictions preventing the Group’s exposure to concentrations of credit risk, and Eni Trading & Shipping, that is in charge to execute certain activities relating to commodity derivatives. In particular, Eni’s finance department and Eni Finance International SA manage subsidiaries’ financing requirements in and outside Italy, respectively, covering funding requirements and using available surpluses. All transactions concerning currencies and derivative contracts on interest rates and currencies different from commodities are managed by the parent company. The commodity price risk associated with commercial exposures of each business unit (Eni’s Divisions or subsidiaries) is pooled and managed by the Midstream business line that manages the market risk component in a view of portfolio, while Eni Trading & Shipping SpA executes the negotiation of commodity derivatives over the market. Eni SpA and Eni Trading & Shipping SpA (also through its subsidiary Eni Trading & Shipping Inc) perform trading activities in financial derivatives on external trading venues, such as European and non-European regulated markets, Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF), Organized Trading Facility (OTF), or similar and brokerage platforms (i.e. SEF), and over the counter on a bilateral basis with external counterparties. Other legal entities belonging to Eni that require financial derivatives enter into these operations through Eni Trading & Shipping and Eni SpA based on the relevant asset class expertise. Eni uses derivative financial instruments (derivatives) in order to minimize exposure to market risks related to fluctuations in exchange rates relating to those transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency (the euro) and interest rates, as well as to optimize exposure to commodity prices fluctuations taking into account the currency in which commodities are quoted.

90	Eni Interim Report
	Notes to the Financial Statements

The commodity risk having strategic influence, in particular the risk associated to the production and sale of hydrocarbon reserves, is not subject of systematic management/coverage activity. Such activity is eventually carried out only under particular company or market conditions. If the result of the monitoring shows those derivatives should not be considered as risk reducing, these derivatives are reclassified in proprietary trading. As the proprietary trading is considered separately from the other activities in specific portfolios of Eni Trading & Shipping, its exposure is subject to specific controls, both in terms of Value at Risk (VaR) and stop loss and in terms of nominal gross value. For Eni, the gross nominal value of proprietary trading activities is compared with the limits set by the relevant international standards. The framework defined by Eni’s policies and guidelines provides that the valuation and control of market risk is performed on the basis of maximum tolerable levels of risk exposure defined in terms of: (i) limits of stop loss, which expresses the maximum tolerable amount of losses associated with a certain portfolio of assets over a pre-defined time horizon; (ii) limits of revision strategy, which consist in the triggering of a revision process of the strategy in the event of exceeding the level of profit and loss given; and (iii) VaR which measures the maximum potential loss of the portfolio, given a certain confidence level and holding period, assuming adverse changes in market variables and taking into account of the correlation among the different positions held in the portfolio. Eni’s finance department defines the maximum tolerable levels of risk exposure to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates in terms of VaR, pooling Group companies’ risk positions maximizing, when possible, the benefits of the netting activity. Eni’s calculation and valuation techniques for interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risks are in accordance with banking standards, as established by the Basel Committee for bank activities surveillance. Tolerable levels of risk are based on a conservative approach, considering the industrial nature of the Company. Eni’s guidelines prescribe that Eni Group companies minimize such kinds of market risks by transferring risk exposure to the parent company finance department. Eni’s guidelines define rules to manage the commodity risk aiming at optimizing core activities and pursuing present targets of stabilizing industrial and commercial margins. The maximum tolerable level of risk exposure is defined in terms of VaR, limits of revision strategy, stop loss and volumes in connection with exposure deriving from commercial activities, as well as exposure deriving from proprietary trading, exclusively managed by Eni Trading & Shipping. Internal mandates to manage the commodity risk provide for a mechanism of allocation of the Group maximum tolerable risk level to each business unit. In this framework, Eni Trading & Shipping, in addition to managing risk exposure associated with its own commercial activity and proprietary trading, pools the requests for negotiating commodity derivatives and executes them on the marketplace.

According to the targets of financial structure included in the financial plan approved by the Board of Directors, Eni has decided to retain a cash reserve to face any extraordinary requirement. Such reserve is managed by Eni’s finance department with the aim of optimizing the efficiency and ensuring maximum protection of the capital and its immediate liquidity within the limits assigned. The management of strategic cash is part of the asset management pursued through transactions on own risk in view of optimizing financial returns, while respecting authorized risk levels, safeguarding the Company’s assets and retaining quick access to liquidity.

In the course of first half 2017, the framework of Eni's management and control of the market risk remained unchanged. Further information is reported in this section of the Annual Report 2016.

The following tables show the amounts in terms of VaR, recorded in first half 2017 (compared with the year 2016) relating to interest rate and exchange rate risks in the first section and commodity risk. Regarding the management of strategic liquidity, the sensitivity to change of interest rates is expressed by the values of "Dollar Value per Basis Point" (DVBP).

For the business lines pertaining to Gas & Power, following the approval of the Eni’s Board of Directors on December 12, 2013, VaR is calculated on the so-called Statutory view, with a time horizon that coincides with the year considering all the volumes delivered in the year and the relevant financial hedging derivatives. Consequently, in the year the VaR pertaining to Midstream and Retail Market Gas & Power presents a decreasing trend following the progressive reaching of the maturity of the positions within the annual horizon.

(b) Cross-commodity proprietary trading, both for commodity contracts and financial derivatives, refers to Eni Trading & Shipping SpA (London-Bruxelles-Singapore) and Eni Trading & Shipping Inc (Houston).

Credit risk

Credit risk is the potential exposure of the Group to losses in case counterparties fail to perform or pay amounts due.

In the course of first half 2017, the framework of Eni's management and control of the credit risk remained unchanged. Further information is reported in this section of the Annual Report 2016.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that suitable sources of funding for the Group may not be available, or the Group is unable to sell its assets on the marketplace in order to meet short-term finance requirements and to settle obligations. Such a situation would negatively affect Group results, as it would result in the Company incurring higher borrowing expenses to meet its obligations or under the worst of conditions the inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

The Group risk management is mainly aimed to maintain a suitable amount of financial resources available to cope with exogenous shocks (drastic changes of the scenario, restrictions in access to capital markets) or to ensure a suitable level of operational flexibility in the group's development plans. For this purpose, Eni holds a significant amount of liquidity reserve consisting of short-term marketable financial instruments with high liquidity, favouring investments with very low risk profile.

At present, the Group believes to have access to sufficient funding to meet the current foreseeable borrowing requirements as a consequence of the availability of financial assets and lines of credit and the access to a wide range of funding at competitive costs through the credit system and capital markets.

Eni has in place a program for the issuance of Euro Medium Term Notes up to €20 billion, of which about €17 billion were drawn as of June 30, 2017.

The Group has credit ratings of BBB+ look stable and A-2, respectively for long and short-term debt, outlook stable, assigned by Standard & Poor’s and Baa1 outlook stable and P-2, respectively for long and short-term debt, assigned by Moody’s. Eni’s credit rating is linked in addition to the Company’s industrial fundamentals and trends in the trading environment to the sovereign credit rating of Italy. Based on the methodologies used by Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s, a downgrade of Italy’s credit rating may trigger a potential knock-on effect on the credit rating of Italian issuers such as Eni.

In the course of the first half 2017, Eni issued bonds amounting to €0.75 billion related to the Euro Medium Term Notes Program.

As of June 30, 2017, Eni maintained short-term unused borrowing facilities of €11,555 million, of which €41 million committed. Long-term committed borrowing facilities amounted to €6,065 million, of which €850 million were due within 12 months. These facilities bore interest rates and fees for unused facilities that reflected prevailing market conditions.

Expected payments by period under contractual obligations

In addition to the trade and financial liabilities represented in the balance sheet, the company is subject to non-cancellable contractual obligations or for which the cancellation requires the payment of a penalty. The fulfillment of these obligations will result in payments in future periods. These liabilities are valued based on the net cost for the company to fulfill the contract, which consists of the lowest amount between the costs for the fulfillment of the contractual obligation and the contractual compensation/penalty in the event of the non-performance.

The Company’s main obligations pertain to take-or-pay clauses contained in the Company’s gas supply contracts or shipping arrangements, whereby the Company obligations consist of off-taking minimum quantities of product or service or, in case of failure, paying the corresponding cash amount that entitles the Company the right to collect the product or the service in future years. Future obligations in connection with these contracts were calculated by applying the forecasted prices of energy or services included in the four-year business plan approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. Other contractual obligations relate to operating leases for FPSO units of the E&P segment, in particular the FPSOs operating in the Offshore projects at Cape Three Points in Ghana and at the 15/06 block in Angola, with a duration of between 14 and 16 years.

(a) Operating leases primarily regarded assets for drilling activities, time charter and long term rentals of vessels, lands, service stations and office buildings. Such leases can include renewal options. There are no significant restrictions provided by these operating leases which limit the ability of the Company to pay dividend, use assets or to take on new borrowings.

(b) Represents the estimated future costs for the decommissioning of oil and natural gas production facilities at the end of the producing lives of fields, well-plugging, abandonment and site restoration.

(c) Represents any agreement to purchase goods or services that is enforceable and legally binding and that specifies all significant terms.

(d) Mainly refers to arrangements to purchase capacity entitlements at certain regasification facilities in the USA (€1,065 million).

Capital investment and capital expenditure commitments

In the next four years, Eni expects capital investments and capital expenditures of €31.6 billion. The table below summarizes Eni’s capital expenditure commitments for property, plant and equipment and capital projects. Capital expenditure is considered to be committed when the project has received the appropriate level of internal management approval. At this stage, procurement contracts to execute those projects have already been awarded or are being awarded to third parties.

The amounts shown in the table below include committed expenditures to execute certain environmental projects.

Legal Proceedings

Eni is a party to a number of civil actions and administrative arbitral and other judicial proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Based on information available to date, and taking into account the existing risk provisions and that, in some cases, it is not possible to have a reliable estimate of the liability, Eni believes that the foregoing will likely not have a material adverse effect on Eni’s Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition to the amounts represented in note 22 - Provisions for risks and charges, the following paragraphs summarize the most significant proceedings started in the first half of 2017 and the proceedings that had further developments compared to the Annual Report. For a description of the other proceedings in which Eni is involved and the provisions eventually accrued, see the relevant paragraph of the Annual Report 2016.

1. Environment, health and safety

1.1 Criminal proceedings in the matters of environment, health and safety

(i) Syndial SpA - Public Prosecutor of Gela. An investigation is pending before the Public Prosecutor of Gela regarding 17 former managers of the Eni Group. The proceeding regards alleged crimes of culpable manslaughter and grievous bodily harm related to the death of 12 former employees and alleged work-related diseases that those persons may have contracted at the plant of Clorosoda. Alleged crimes relate to the period from 1969, when the Clorosoda plant commenced operations until 1998 when the plant was shut down and clean-up activities were performed. The Public Prosecutor requested the performance of a medico-legal appraisal on over 100 people that were employed at the above-mentioned plant. This appraisal was performed by independent consultants designated by the Judge for preliminary investigation and did not find any evidence that the various diseases which underwent the medical appraisal could be directly linked to the exposure to emissions related to the production of chlorine and caustic soda.

Eni Interim Report		95
	Notes to the Financial Statements

The consultants also found that production activities were in compliance with applicable laws and regulations on health and safety. On January 23, 2015, the Judge for preliminary investigation declared that the gathering of evidence before a trial was concluded. The Public Prosecutor issued a notice of the conclusion of preliminary investigations deciding not to ask for dismiss of charges only in relation to the one specific case, which regards one former employee which in the meantime had died, compared to the initial complaint that concerned several (over a hundred) cases of personal injury and manslaughter. Therefore, the proceeding has been downsized compared to the initial claim. The rest of the accusatory assumptions, however, seems to be groundless in the light of the results of assessment performed by independent consultants appointed by the Judge for the preliminary investigation. Following the outcome of the assessment, the Public Prosecutor of Gela issued a notice of conclusion of preliminary investigations in relation to 4 cases, contesting a crime of personal injuries and claimed the indictment of a worker died in the meantime. At the preliminary hearing of 28 June 2017, the GUP accepted the defensive arguments and issued a ruling of nonsuit because the fact does not exist.

(ii) Syndial SpA - Proceeding on the asbestos at the Ravenna site. A criminal proceeding is pending before the Tribunal of Ravenna about the crimes of culpable manslaughter, injuries and environmental disaster, which would have been allegedly committed by former Syndial employees at the site of Ravenna. The site was taken over by Syndial following a number of corporate mergers and acquisitions. The alleged crimes date back to 1991. In the proceeding there are 77 affected victims. The plaintiffs include relatives of the alleged victims, various local administrations, and other institutional bodies, including local trade unions. The advocacy of Syndial claimed the statute of limitation about the instance of environmental disaster for certain instances of diseases and deaths. The Judge for the Preliminary Hearing at Ravenna decided that all defendants would stand trial and ascertained the statute of limitation only with reference to certain instances of crime of culpable injury. Syndial has signed some settlements. On November 24, 2016, the Judge, lifted the reserve, acquitted all the accused for 76 of the 77 contested cases and sentenced 6 of the 15 defendants for a single case of asbestosis. The defendants, the prosecutor and the plaintiffs appealed the decision.

(iii) Proceeding Val d'Agri. The Italian Public Prosecutor’s Office of Potenza started a criminal investigation in order to ascertain existence of an illegal handling of wastes material produced at the Viggiano oil center, part of the Eni-operated Val d’Agri oil complex, and disposed at treatment plants in the national territory. After a two-year investigation, the Prosecutors decided for the domiciliary detention of 5 Eni employees and to put under seizure certain plants functional to the production activity of the Val d’Agri complex which, as a consequences, has been shut down (60 kboe/d net to Eni,). From the commencement of the investigation, Eni carried out several and in-depth technical and environmental surveys, with support of independent experts of international reach, who recognized full compliance of the plant and the industrial process with requirements of applicable laws, as well as with best available technologies and international best practices. The Company sought to obtain a repeal of the seizure before the jurisdictional authorities without an outcome. The Company studied certain corrective measures to upgrade plants which, although being not a structural solution, were intended to address the claims made by the public prosecutor about an alleged operation of blending which would have occurred during normal plant functioning. Those measures comprise building a gathering system of waters associated with the extraction of hydrocarbons at the gas lines. Those corrective measures were favourably reviewed by the public prosecutor, who granted Eni a temporary repeal of the seizure in order to allow the Company perform the works. The in-charge department of the Italian Ministry of Economic Development duly authorized the works and established a strict schedule to execute the plant upgrading as requested by the public prosecutor. Eni executed the plant upgrading according to this strict schedule. Once the public prosecutor verifies the correct execution of the plant upgrading, it is anticipated that it will definitively repeal the plant seizure. It is worth mentioning that, after the seizure, the Basilicata Region itself has decided to implement two specific measures: (i) the start of the AIA review; and (ii) the interruption of the well Costa Molina 2. Both measures, triggered by the statement of the Public Prosecutor, have been contested before an administrative tribunal of the Basilicata Region (no suspension requested). Contextually, referring to the interruption of the Costa Molina 2 well, also considering the motivations of the temporary measure to lift the seizure, the Company filed a request to revoke the measure, while the documents for AIA review are currently being prepared. The deadline is expected on August 14, 2016. The first hearing of the trial is scheduled on November 6, 2017.

(iv) Proceeding Val d'Agri – Tank spill. On February 3, 2017, the Carabinieri of NOE department of Potenza ascertained a stream of water contaminated by unknown hydrocarbon traces flowing inside a cockpit located outside the Val d'Agri Oil Center (COVA). The activities carried out by Eni at the COVA aimed at reconstructing the origin of the contamination have identified the cause in a failure of a tank, while outside of the COVA, following the environmental monitoring implemented, emerged a risk – at the state not occurred - of the extension of the contamination in the downstream area of the plant. In the execution of these activities, Eni performed all the communications provided for by the Legislative Decree 152/06 and started certain emergency safe-keeping operations at the areas subject to contamination outside the COVA. In addition, a site characterization plan approved by the relevant Entities is in progress at the internal and external areas of the COVA. Following this event, a criminal investigation was initiated in order to ascertain the existence of illicit pollution and unauthorized discharge against the former and the current COVA officer. Investigations are ongoing. On April 18, 2017, Eni, on its own initiative, suspended the industrial activity at the COVA, anticipating the provisions of the Regional Council Resolution issued on April 19. On July 18, 2017, Eni restarted of the plant's operational activities at COVA. The resumption follows the approval from the Basilicata Region confirming the functionality of the plant and the presence of all necessary safety conditions. During the temporary closure, Eni performed all the requirements provided for by the relevant authorities, including the provision of a double bottom to the tank from which the spillage arose.

1.2 Civil and administrative proceedings in the matters of environment, health and safety

(i) Syndial SpA and Versalis SpA — Summon for alleged environmental damage caused by illegal waste disposal in the municipality of Melilli (Sicily). In May 2014, the Municipality of Melilli summoned Eni’s subsidiaries Syndial and Versalis for the environmental damage allegedly caused by carrying out illegal waste disposal activities and unauthorized landfill. In particular, the plaintiff claimed the responsibilities of Syndial and Versalis for the production of waste and because they commissioned the waste disposal. The plaintiff stated that this illegal handling of waste was part of certain criminal proceedings dating back to 2001-2003 which would have allegedly traced the hazardous waste materials back to the Priolo and Gela industrial sites that are managed by the above mentioned Eni’s subsidiaries (in particular, the waste with high mercury concentration and railway sleepers no longer in use). Such waste was allegedly handled and disposed illegally at an unauthorized landfill owned by a third party (this landfill is located about 2 kilometres from the town of Melilli). The claim amounts to €500 million and refers to two Group’s subsidiaries and SMA.RI, the company that carries out activities of waste disposal, being jointly and severally liable. With a sentence issued on 26 June 2017, the Judge accepted all the defensive instances presented by Syndial and Versalis stating that the request of municipality was not admissible due to lack of legitimacy to proceed, and in any case unfounded or groundless, and sentenced the plaintiffs to reimburse all the costs of the trial.

2. Court inquiries on the matter of criminal/administrative corporate responsibility

(i) Algeria. Legal proceedings are pending in Italy and outside Italy in connection with an allegation of corruption relating to the award of certain contracts to its former controlled company Saipem in Algeria. On February 4, 2011, Eni received from the Public Prosecutor of Milan an information request pursuant to Article 248 of the Italian Code of Criminal Procedure. The request related to allegations of international corruption and pertained to certain activities performed by Saipem Group companies in Algeria (in particular the contract between Saipem and Sonatrach relating to the construction of the GK3 gas pipeline and the contract between Galsi, Saipem and Technip relating to the engineering of the ground section of a gas pipeline). For that reason, Eni forwarded the notification to Saipem. The crime of international corruption is among the offenses contemplated by Legislative Decree of June 8, 2001, No. 231, relating to corporate responsibility for crimes committed by employees, which provides fines and interdictions to the company and the disgorgement of profit.

	Notes to the Financial Statements

Saipem promptly began to collect documentation in response to the requests of the Public Prosecutor. The documents were produced on February 16, 2011. Eni also filed documentation relating to the MLE project (in which the Eni’s Exploration & Production Division participates) even if not required, with respect to which investigations in Algeria are ongoing. On November 22, 2012, the Public Prosecutor of Milan served Saipem a notice stating that it had commenced an investigation for alleged liability of the company for international corruption in accordance to Article 25, second and third paragraph of Legislative Decree No. 231/2001. Furthermore, the Prosecutor requested the production of certain documents relating to certain activities in Algeria. The proceeding was unified with the Iraq-Kazakhstan proceeding, concerning a different line of investigation, as it related to the activities carried out by Eni in Iraq and Kazakhstan. Subsequently Saipem was served a notice of seizure, then a request for documentation and finally a search warrant was issued, in order to acquire further documentation, in particular relating to certain intermediary contracts and sub-contracts entered into by Saipem in connection with its Algerian business. Several former Saipem employees were also involved in the proceeding, including the former CEO of Saipem, who resigned from the office in December of 2012, and the former Chief Operating Officer of the Business Unit Engineering & Construction of Saipem, who was fired at the beginning of 2013. On February 7, 2013, on mandate from the Public Prosecutor of Milan, the Italian Finance Police visited Eni’s headquarters in Rome and San Donato Milanese and executed searches and seized documents relating to Saipem’s activity in Algeria. On the same occasion, Eni was served a notice that an investigation had commenced in accordance with Article 25, third and fourth paragraph of Legislative Decree No. 231/2001 with respect to Eni, Eni’s former CEO, Eni’s former CFO and another senior manager. Eni’s former CFO had previously served as Saipem’s CFO including during the period in which alleged corruption took place and before being appointed as CFO of Eni on August 1, 2008. Eni conducted an internal investigation with the assistance of external consultants, in addition to the review activities performed by its audit and internal control departments and a dedicated team to the Algerian matters. During 2013, the external consultants reached the following results: (i) the review of the documents seized by the Milan prosecutors and the examination of internal records held by Eni’s global procurement department have not found any evidence that Eni entered into intermediary or any other contractual arrangements with the third parties involved in the prosecutors’ investigation; the brokerage contracts that were identified, were signed by Saipem or its subsidiaries or predecessor companies; and (ii) the internal review made on a voluntary basis of the MLE project, the only project that Eni understands to be under the prosecutors’ investigation where the client is an Eni Group company has not found evidence that any Eni employee engaged in wrongdoing in connection with the award to Saipem of two main contracts to execute the project (EPC and Drilling). Furthermore, in 2014, with the assistance of external consultants, Eni completed a review of the extent of its operating control over Saipem with regard to both legal and accounting and administrative issues. The findings of the review performed have confirmed the autonomy of Saipem from the parent company. The findings of Eni’s internal review have been provided to the Judicial Authority in order to reaffirm Eni’s willingness to fully cooperate. On October 24, 2014, Eni SpA received a request of probationary evidence by the Prosecutor of Milan relating to for the examination of two defendants: the former Chief Operating Officer of the Business Unit Engineering & Construction of Saipem and the former President and General Manager of Saipem Contracting Algérie SpA. On January 14, 2015, the Public Prosecutor of Milan notified the conclusion of preliminary investigations towards Eni, Saipem and eight persons (including, the former CEO and CFO of Eni and the Chief Upstream Officer of Eni who was responsible for Eni Exploration & Production activities in North Africa at the time of the events under investigation). The Public Prosecutor of Milan has issued a notice for alleged international corruption against all defendants (including Eni and Saipem on the base of the provisions of Legislative Decree No. 231/2001) in connection with the entry into intermediary contracts by Saipem in Algeria. Furthermore, some of the defendants (including the former CEO and CFO of Eni and the Chief Upstream Officer of Eni) were accused of tax offense for fraudulent misrepresentation in relation to the accounting treatment of these contracts for the fiscal years 2009 and 2010. Having acquired the actions of the court filed in relation to the request of probationary evidence, the minutes of the hearing and the documents filed for the conclusion of the preliminary investigation, Eni requested its consultants to perform additional analysis and investigation. As a result, Eni’s consultants reaffirmed their conclusions previously reported to the Company. In February 2015, the Public Prosecutor indicted all the investigated persons for above-mentioned crimes.

	Notes to the Financial Statements

On October 2, 2015, the Judge for the Preliminary Hearing of the Court of Milan dismissed the case and granted an acquittal in favor of Eni, former Chief Executive Officer and Chief Upstream Officer for all the alleged crimes. On February 24, 2016, the Court of Third Instance, upholding an appeal presented by the Public Prosecutor of Milan, reversed the dismissal, annulled the verdict, and remanded the proceedings to another Judge for the Preliminary Hearing in the Court of Milan. As a result of the new preliminary hearing dated 27 July 2016, the judge ordered the trial for all defendants, including Eni. The judgment of first instance is pending. At the end of 2012, Eni contacted the U.S. Authorities — the DoJ and the U.S. SEC — in order to voluntary inform them about this matter and kept them informed about the developments in the Italian prosecutors’ investigations. Following Eni’s notification in 2012, both the U.S. SEC and the DoJ have started their own investigations regarding this matter. Eni has furnished various information and documents, including the findings of its internal reviews, in response to formal and informal requests.

(ii) Iraq — Kazakhstan. A criminal proceeding is pending before the Public Prosecutor of Milan in relation to alleged crimes of international corruption involving Eni’s activities in Kazakhstan regarding the management of the Karachaganak plant and the Kashagan project, as well as handling of assignment procedures of work contracts by Agip KCO. The Company has filed the documents collected and is fully collaborating with the Public Prosecutor. A number of managers and a former manager are involved in the investigation. The above-mentioned proceeding has been combined with another (the so-called “Iraq proceeding”) regarding a parallel proceeding related to Eni’s activities in Iraq, disclosed in the following paragraphs. On June 21, 2011, Eni Zubair SpA and Saipem SpA in Fano (Italy) were searched by the Judicial Authorities. The search involved the offices of certain Group employees and of certain third parties in connection with alleged crimes of conspiracy and corruption as part of the “Jurassic” project in Kuwait. Particularly, the alleged crimes would have been committed in order to illicitly influence the award of a construction contract outside Italy where Eni was the commissioning entity. Considering the claims of the Public Prosecutor, Eni and Saipem believed that they were damaged by the crimes committed by their employees. Eni considered those employees to have breached the Company’s Code of Ethics. In spite of this, Eni SpA and Saipem SpA were notified of being under investigation pursuant to the Legislative Decree No. 231/2001, which establishes the liability of entities for the crimes committed by their employees. Eni SpA was notified by the Public Prosecutor of a request of extension of the preliminary investigations that has led up to the involvement of another employee, as well as other suppliers in the proceeding. The Public Prosecutor of Milan requested Eni SpA to be debarred for one year and six months from performing any industrial activities involving the production sharing contract of 1997 with the Republic of Kazakhstan and in the subsequent administrative or commercial arrangements, or the prosecution of the mentioned activities under the supervision of a commissioner pursuant to Article 15 of the Legislative Decree No. 231 of 2001. On July 16, 2013, the Judge for Preliminary Investigation rejected the request for precautionary measures requested by the Public Prosecutor of Milan, because it considered the request groundless. The Public Prosecutor promptly appealed the decision before a higher degree court. After the appeal hearing, on October 21, 2013 such court rejected the appeal filed by the Public Prosecutor. The Re-examination Court rejected the appeal with judgment upon the merits due to the lack of serious evidence against Eni, accepting the defensive arguments for which Eni suffered severe damages because of poor performances of some suppliers involved in the Kashagan project. In addition, the Court declared the lack of precautionary requirements considering the reorganization of the activities in Kazakhstan and taking into account of the initiatives of internal audit and control promptly adopted by Eni. The Public Prosecutor’s office did not appeal against the sentence of the Re-examination Court. Also based on this decision, on March 13, 2014, the Eni legal team requested to the Public Prosecutor to dismiss the proceeding. The Prosecutor’s Office filed a request for dismissal of all the natural persons, and, on 5 January 2017, the judge for preliminary investigations, who issued the relevant decree, granted the above-mentioned filing request. On March 21, 2017, the Public Prosecutor ordered the filing of the request also for Eni.

(iii) Block OPL 245 — Nigeria. On July 2, 2014, the Italian Public Prosecutor of Milan served Eni with a notice of investigation relating to potential liability on the part of Eni arising from alleged international corruption, pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree No. 231/2001 whereby companies are liable for the crimes committed by their employees when performing their tasks.

Eni Interim Report		99
	Notes to the Financial Statements

As part of the proceeding, Eni was also subpoenaed for documents and other evidence. According to the subpoena, the proceeding was commenced following a claim filed by ReCommon NGO relating to alleged corruptive practices that according to the Prosecutor would have allegedly involved the Resolution Agreement made on April 29, 2011 relating to the Oil Prospecting license of the offshore oilfield that was discovered in Block 245 in Nigeria. Eni is fully cooperating with the Prosecutor and has promptly filed the requested documentation. Furthermore, Eni has voluntarily reported the matter to the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. SEC. In July 2014, the Eni’s Board of Statutory Auditors jointly with the Eni Watch Structure resolved to engage an independent, US-based law firm, expert in anticorruption, to conduct a forensic, independent review of the matter, upon informing the Judicial Authorities. After reviewing the matter, the US lawyers concluded in summary that no evidence of wrongdoing on Eni side were detected in relation to the 2011 transaction with the Nigerian government for the acquisition of the OPL 245 license. The outcome of this review was transmitted to the judicial authorities. On September 10, 2014, the Public Prosecutor of Milan notified Eni of a restraining order issued by a British judge who ruled the seizure of a bank account not pertaining to Eni domiciled at a British bank following a request from the Italian Public Prosecutor. The order was also notified to certain individuals, including Eni’s CEO and the Chief Development, Operations and Technological Officer, as well as Eni’s former CEO. From the available documents, it was inferred that such Eni’s officers and former officers are under investigation by the Italian Public Prosecutor. During a hearing before a Court of London on September 15, 2014, Eni and its current executive officers stated their non-involvement in the matter regarding the seized bank account. Following the hearing, the Court reaffirmed the seizure. On December 22 2016, Eni was notified of the conclusion of the preliminary investigation by the Italian Judicial Authorities. Following the request of the Public Prosecutor of Milan that the Eni’s CEO and the Chief Development, Operations and Technological Officer and the Executive Vice President for international negotiations, as well as Eni’s former CEO would stand trial, as well as Eni based on Italian law 231/2001 on corporate entity responsibility, on February 14, 2017, Eni’s attorneys were notified of the schedule of the preliminary hearings that lasted until July 20, 2017. Upon notification to Eni of the conclusion of the preliminary investigation by the Public Prosecutor of Milan, the independent US-based law firm was requested by Eni to assess whether the new documentation made available from Italian prosecutors could modify the conclusions of the law firm prior review. The US law firm was also provided with the documentation filed in the Nigeria proceeding mentioned below. The independent U.S. law firm concluded that the reappraisal of the matter in light of the new documentations available did not alter the outcome of the prior review. On January 27, 2017, Eni’s subsidiary Nigerian Agip Exploration Ltd became aware of an Interim Order of Attachment (“Order”) issued by the Nigerian Federal High Court, sitting in Abuja, upon request from the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC), attaching temporarily the property known as Oil Prospecting License 245 (“OPL 245”) pending the proceeding for alleged corruption and money laundering started in Nigeria. NAE made an application to discharge the Order (along with the Shell affiliate co-holder of the license). On March 17, 2017, the Nigerian Court discharged the Order. Recently, Eni became aware of a formal filing of charges by the EFCC. Eni has provided a copy of charges filed by the EFCC, to the US-based law firm engaged to review the OPL 245 transaction, who upon review of such documents, did not modify their conclusion according to which no evidence of wrongdoing on Eni side was detected in relation to the acquisition of the OPL 245 license from the Nigerian government.

(iv) Congo. On March 14, 2017, the Italian Finance Police notified Eni an information request pursuant to Article 248 of the Italian Code of Criminal Procedure in which there was evidence that the Public Prosecutor of Milan started a file against unknown persons. The request related in particular to the agreements signed by Eni Congo with the Ministry of Hydrocarbons in 2013, 2014, 2015 in relation to exploration, development and production activities of certain permits and the modalities used by Eni to identify the companies in partnership. On July 6, 2017, the Italian Finance Police notified Eni a further information request pursuant to Article 248 of the Italian Code of Criminal Procedure and a notice of investigation pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree No. 231/2001 for alleged international corruption. The request expressly follows the previous information request notified on March 14, 2017 and concerns the verification of the relationship between Eni and its subsidiaries from 2012 to date with certain third-party companies. Eni has contacted the relevant US authorities (SEC and DoJ) to transmit a voluntary disclosure on the matter.

3. Tax Proceedings

(i) Eni SpA — Excise taxes. A tax dispute is pending with the Customs Agency for alleged culpable omission to pay of excise taxes (for the period 2003 – 2008) due on 650 million cubic meters of natural gas marketed by Eni in Italy, corresponding to €114 million, plus €20 million of interests and fines amounting to €34 million. This claim was part of a wider criminal proceeding started by the Court of Milan in 2010 referring to alleged culpable omission to pay excise taxes for an amount 9.8 billion cubic meters of natural gas, then reduced to 650 million cubic meters, considering the fact that the gas volumes input into the national grid by Eni and gas volumes off-taken at each delivery points for reselling to final customers have different calorific power. The criminal trial ended with the acquittal of all Eni’s managers accused of tax evasion because the fact does not exist. Therefore, the Customs Agency issued a new administrative claim configuring erroneous compilation of the consumption declaration only. The Customs Agency reiterated the claim because — even if the incidence of the calorific value has been acknowledged from a technical and scientific point of view — at the same time the matter has not been explicitly regulated by an administrative act. This position was also recently confirmed by the Provincial Tax Commission of Milan to which Eni had presented appeal, confirming that the evidences of Eni were founded. Furthermore, the Tax Commission ruled that the claims for the years 2003 and 2004 are prescribed and annulled all the fines, reducing the claim by €90 million (from €168 million to €78 million). Notwithstanding the evident reasons of unlawfulness of a tax base that includes volumes based on the calorific power, Eni started a discussion with the Customs Agency to define a settlement of the dispute. Eni accrued a tax provision in the interim financial report 2017.

4. Settled proceedings

Tax proceedings

(i) Angola. The international oil companies operating in Angola, among which Eni, and the tax Authorities of the Country have defined a global settlement agreement that ends a number of disputes that lasted for about 15 years regarding the deductibility of certain costs relating to PSA oil activities, as well as the timing of the deductibility of the investments in progress. This agreement provides for the recognition to the Angolan Authorities of a part of the taxable amounts contested as petroleum income taxes. With regard to Eni, considering the opening balance of the interim financial report 2017, the provisions accrued resulted sufficient to sustain the charges of the aforementioned global settlement.

Net income from derivatives of €524 million (net expense of €5 million in the first half of 2016) was recognized in connection with fair value valuation of certain derivatives which lacked the formal criteria to be treated in accordance with hedge accounting under IFRS as they were entered into for amounts equal to the net exposure to exchange rate risk and interest rate risk, and as such, they cannot be referred to specific trade or financing transactions.

104	Eni Interim Report
	Notes to the Financial Statements

Exchange rate derivatives were entered into in order to manage exposures to foreign currency exchange rates arising from the pricing formulas of commodities in the Gas & Power segment. The lack of formal requirements to qualify these derivatives as hedges under IFRS also entailed the recognition in profit or loss of currency translation differences on assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than functional currency, as this effect cannot be offset by changes in the fair value of the related instruments.

Net income on options of €24 million in the first half 2016 related to: (i) the reversal through profit and loss of the fair value of the embedded options due to the settlement of the bond convertible into ordinary shares of Snam SpA amounting to an income €26 million; (ii) the fair value of the option embedded in non-dilutive equity-linked convertible bond amounting to an expense for €2 million.

The reconciliation between the statutory tax charge, calculated by applying the Italian statutory tax rate of 24% on the corporate profit before taxes and the effective income taxes of €1,351 million determines a higher tax charge of €790 million. This difference is the consequence of the impact of the net profit reported by the non-Italian companies of the Exploration & Production segment that are subjected to a higher tax rate.

As of June 30, 2016 and 2017, no pending issues of new shares that could dilute earnings were reported.

106	Eni Interim Report
	Notes to the Financial Statements

Information by industry segment

Eni’s segmental reporting is established based on the Group’s operating segments that are evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (the CEO) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

The main key financial information of the operating segments to be reported to the CEO are revenues, operating income, assets and liabilities directly attributable.

As of June 30, 2017, Eni’s reportable segments have been regrouped as follows:

Exploration & Production: is engaged in exploring for and recovering crude oil and natural gas, including participation to projects for the liquefaction of natural gas;

Gas & Power: is engaged in supply and marketing of natural gas at wholesale and retail markets, supply and marketing of LNG and supply, production and marketing of power at retail and wholesale markets. The Gas & Power segment is engaged in supply and marketing of crude oil and oil products targeting the operational requirements of Eni’s refining business and in commodity trading (including crude oil, natural gas, oil products, power, emission allowances, etc.) targeting to both hedge and stabilize the Group industrial and commercial margins according to an integrated view and to optimize margins.

Refining & Marketing and Chemical: is engaged in manufacturing, supply, distribution and marketing activities of oil products and chemicals.

Corporate and other activities: represents the key support functions, comprising holdings and treasury, headquarters, central functions like IT, HR, real estate, self-insurance activities, as well as the Group environmental clean-up and remediation activities performed by the subsidiary Syndial. The Energy Solutions Department, which engages in developing the business of renewable energy, is an operating segment that is reported within Corporate and other activities because it does not meet the materiality threshold for separate segment reporting as provided for by IFRS 8.

The information by industry segment is the following:

Review report on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements

(Translation from the original Italian text)

To the Shareholders of
Eni S.p.A.

Introduction

We have reviewed the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, comprising the balance sheet, the profit and loss account, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of changes in shareholders' equity, the statement of cash flows and the related explanatory notes of Eni S.p.A. and its subsidiaries (the "Eni Group") as of 30 June 2017. The Directors of Eni S.p.A. are responsible for the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with the International Financial Reporting Standard applicable to interim financial reporting (IAS 34) as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim condensed consolidated financial statements based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with review standards recommended by Consob (the Italian Stock Exchange Regulatory Agency) in its Resolution no. 10867 of 31 July 1997. A review of interim condensed consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Eni Group as of 30 June, 2017 are not prepared, in all material respects, in conformity with the International Financial Reporting Standard applicable to Interim financial reporting (IAS 34) as adopted by the European Union.

Subsidiaries, joint arrangements and affiliates resident in states with a privileged tax regime

The Law of 28 December 2015, no. 208 (Stability Law 2016), effective from 1 January 2016, amended the article no. 167, paragraph 4, of the Presidential Decree of 22 December 1986 no. 917, identifying all the tax regimes, even special, of states or territories to be considered as privileged with reference, exclusively, to a nominal level of taxation lower than 50 percent of the one applicable in Italy. Furthermore, the regimes of states or territories that are part of the European Union, or of states that are part of the European Economic Area that have concluded agreements with Italy ensuring an effective exchange of information are not considered as privileged. At June 30, 2017, Eni controls 10 companies based in states with a privileged tax regime as identified by article no. 167, paragraph 4 of the Italian Income Tax Code. Of these 10 companies, 6 are subject to taxation in Italy because they are included in the tax return of Eni.

The remaining 4 companies are not subject to Italian taxation, but to the specific local tax regimes, as a consequence of the exemption obtained by the Italian Revenue Agency by taking into account of the taxation level applied. Of these 10 companies, 8 come from the acquisitions of Lasmo Plc, the activities carried out in Congo by Maurel & Prom, Burren Energy Plc and Hess Indonesia. These subsidiaries, resident or located in states identified by the Decree, did not issued any financial instrument and all the financial statements for 2017 were audited by Ernst & Young.
