Eni: third quarter
and nine months of 2015 results
Yesterday, Enis Board of
Directors approved group results for the third quarter and nine
months of 20151 (unaudited)
Third Quarter Highlights and FY 2015 outlook
| Divestment of interest in Saipem: agreed the terms of the sale of a 12.5% interest to FSI. At closing, expected in first quarter of 2016, Saipem will be derecognized and Eni will be reimbursed of its financing receivables by euro 6.1 billion net. Pro-forma leverage as of September 30 decreasing by 8 percentage points. | |
| Exploration success: discovered more than 1.2 bn boe resources, at an average cost of 0.6 $/boe versus a planned target of 500 mm boe in 2015 at an average cost of more than 2 $/boe. Giant Zohr discovery in the Mediterranean Sea. | |
| Strong hydrocarbon production growth: up 8.1% to 1.703 million boe/d in the quarter (up 8.7% in the nine months). Excluding price effects, production increased by 4.3% (up 4.9% in the nine months). FY 2015 production is now seen growing by about 9%, up from a prior guidance of more than 7%. | |
| Robust R&M and Chemicals performance: best adjusted EBIT2 since the third quarter of 2006 due to the restructuring plan and a favorable trading environment. FCF3 is projected to be positive as early as in 2015, anticipating the original plan by two years. | |
| Improved G&P performance: enhanced adjusted EBIT guidance, now expected to substantially break even in 2015, in spite of delayed settlement of ongoing arbitrations. | |
| Further cost reduction: raised the target reduction of FY capex4 to 17% from a prior guidance of a 14% cut; opex per barrel expected to decrease by 12% to 7.3 $/bl (previous guidance was down by 7%). | |
| Self-financed capex: when excluding Saipem, capex organically financed as early as in 2015 at a Brent scenario of 55 $/bl. | |
| Entrance in new countries: upstream of Mexico with the operatorship of three offshore oilfields. |
Results
| Cash flow5: euro 1.71 billion for the quarter (euro 7.39 billion in the nine months). | |
| Adjusted operating profit excluding Saipem: euro 0.6 billion in the quarter (down 79%); euro 3.51 billion for the nine months (down 60%). | |
| Adjusted net profit excluding Saipem: loss of euro 0.29 billion in the quarter; euro 0.76 billion for the nine months (down 76%). | |
| Net loss: euro 0.95 billion for the quarter; euro 0.36 billion in the nine months. | |

Claudio Descalzi, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"Saipems stake sale and deconsolidation marks
another significant step in Enis transformation as we
refocus on our core business. It increases our financial
flexibility, freeing up resources to support our strategic plan.
In the meantime we retain a significant share in Saipem and we
will participate in its capital increase, strengthening its
financial solidity and the execution of its new business plan. In
the quarter, despite a weak oil price environment, Eni continued
to deliver strong growth in upstream and important progress in
restructuring the mid and downstream businesses. In E&P, we
have increased our full year production guidance for the second
time this year, almost doubling our original target. We have also
more than doubled our resources target after discovering 1.2
billion barrels of new resources over the past nine months. This
has all been achieved at a lower exploration cost. Meanwhile, we
have improved our guidance for G&P, while R&M and
Chemicals are on track to deliver an excellent performance and
positive cash generation in 2015. These businesses continue to
benefit from the restructuring and efficiency initiatives we have
been implementing and from the favorable pricing environment.
These actions, along with the further optimization of our
investments during the year and the improvement of our
operational cost structure, will allow us to cover our
investments in 2015 with organic cash flow, excluding Saipem and
considering a 55 $/bl oil price scenario."

Adjusted operating profit
In the third quarter of 2015, adjusted operating
profit was euro 0.6 billion, down by 79% from the third quarter
of 2014 (excluding Saipem, which reported a profit of euro 0.15
billion). This reflected a lower contribution from the E&P
segment (down by euro 2.3 billion, or 76%) driven by sharply
lower oil prices (down by approximately 51%), partly offset by
production growth, cost efficiencies and the depreciation of the
euro against the dollar (down 16%). The G&P segment reported
a greater loss (down by euro 0.29 billion) mainly due to the
reversal of gas prepaid in previous years at prices higher than
the current cost of supplies and an unfavorable trading
environment impacting certain sales to large clients.
The R&M and Chemicals segment reported a marked improvement
(up by euro 0.32 billion) due to an ongoing recovery in both
margins and volumes which coupled with efficiency measures and
capacity optimizations strengthened the profitability of both
businesses.
The Group's consolidated adjusted operating profit for the third
quarter of 2015 was euro 0.75 billion, down by euro 2.3 billion,
or 75% y-o-y.
In the first nine months of 2015, adjusted operating profit
excluding Saipem was euro 3.51 billion, down by euro 5.3 billion,
or 60% due to a negative commodity environment (euro 6.1
billion), partially offset by production growth and efficiency
and optimization gains of euro 0.8 billion. Group's consolidated
adjusted operating profit for the first nine months amounted to
euro 3.1 billion, down by euro 6.2 billion, or 67% y-o-y, due to
Saipem declining performance because of the extraordinary loss
accounted in the second quarter of 2015.
Adjusted net profit
In the third quarter of 2015, adjusted net profit
excluding Saipem was euro 0.29 billion, down by euro 1.42 billion
y-o-y. The reduction was driven by lower operating profit and a
higher consolidated tax rate, which increased to 143% due to the
E&P segment. This was impacted by a deteriorating price
scenario, which resulted in the segment taxable profit being
earned in countries with higher rates of taxes and being impacted
to a larger extent by certain expenses that could not be deducted
from taxable profit among which successful exploration costs
relating to projects yet to be sanctioned. The Groups
consolidated adjusted net loss for the third quarter was euro
0.26 billion, from an adjusted net profit of euro 1.17 billion
reported a year ago.
In the first nine months of 2015, adjusted net profit excluding
Saipem amounted to euro 0.76 billion, down by 76% y-o-y. Group's
consolidated adjusted net profit for the first nine months was
euro 0.53 billion, 83.7% lower compared to the first nine months
of 2014; the tax
- 2 -
rate registered an increase of 30 percentage points driven by the trends previously disclosed for the quarter and the circumstance that Saipem loss was non-deductible for tax purposes.
Operating cash flow
In the first nine months of 2015, cash flow from
operating activities of euro 7.39 billion and divestment proceeds
of euro 0.91 billion relating to non-strategic assets mainly in
the Exploration & Production segment funded a fair share of
capital expenditure incurred in the period (euro 8.65 billion).
Eni's shareholders remuneration amounted to euro 3.43 billion
relating to the balance dividend for the year 2014 and the
interim dividend for the year 2015. As of September 30, 2015, net
borrowings had increased by euro 4.73 billion to euro 18.41
billion, compared to December 31, 2014.
Compared to June 30, 2015, net borrowings increased by euro 1.94
billion due to cash outflows relating to the interim dividend for
2015 (euro 1.42 billion) and capital expenditure incurred in the
period (euro 2.42 billion). These were partially offset by cash
flow from operations (euro 1.71 billion) which was negatively
influenced by lower receivables due beyond the end of the
reporting period being transferred to financing institutions
compared to the amount transferred at the end of the previous
reporting period (down by euro 0.21 billion from June 30, 2015).
As of September 30, 2015, the ratio of net borrowings to
shareholders equity including non-controlling interest
leverage6 increased to 0.30, compared to
0.22 as of December 31, 2014. This trend was due to increased net
borrowings partly offset by higher total equity, which was helped
by a sizable appreciation of the US dollar against the euro in
the translation of the financial statements of Enis
subsidiaries that use the US dollar as functional currency,
resulting in an equity gain of euro 3.33 billion. The US dollar
was up by 7.7% compared to the closing of the previous reporting
period at December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2015.
Business developments
Eni made a world-class gas discovery at the Zohr exploration prospect in the deep waters of the Egyptian section of the Mediterranean Sea. This field is estimated to retain 30 trillion cubic feet of gas in place. The discovery could grant energy independence to the Country for many years to come.
Eni made an important gas and condensates discovery in the Nooros exploration prospect, located in the Abu Madi West license in the shallow waters of the Nile Delta. The discovery was put into production in two months time through a tie-in to the existing Abu Madi gas treatment plant, located 25 kilometers far from the field.
Eni made a gas and condensates discovery in the prospection permit Nkala Marine in the Marine XII block in the shallow waters of Congo. The discovery is the latest of a strong track record which includes Litchendjili, Nené Marine and Minsala Marine.
Enis move into the upstream sector of Mexico was signaled by the Production Sharing Contract as operator (Enis interest 100%) of the Block 1 to develop the oilfields of Amoca, Miztón e Tecoalli, in the shallow waters of the Southern section of the Gulf of Mexico. These fields are estimated to retain 800 million barrels of oil and 480 billion cubic feet of associated gas in place.
Eni licensed to Total the use of the Enis Slurry Technology (EST) for converting heavy and extra-heavy feedstock in the refining process.
Eni started production at the giant Perla gas field, offshore Venezuela, holding a potential of up to 17 Tcf of gas in place (or 3.1 billion boe). Perla is one of Enis most important start-ups of 2015 and has been developed in just 5 years, an industry-leading time-to-market. A production plateau of approximately 1,200 mmcf/d is expected by 2020. Gas is sold to the national oil and gas company PDVSA under a Gas Sales Agreement running until 2036.
Eni finalized a preliminary agreement with KazMunayGas to acquire 50% of the mineral rights in the Isatay block in the Caspian Sea.
Eni signed agreements to sell 1.4 mmtonnes/y of liquefied natural gas from the Eni-operated Jangkrik field (Enis interest 55%) to the Indonesian state-run company PT Pertamina, starting from 2017. These agreements will support the development of Jangkrik.
In Ghana, the final investment decision for the integrated Offshore Cape Three Points (OCTP) oil and gas project (Eni 47.22%, operator) was sanctioned. The first oil is expected in 2017.
Eni finalized an agreement in Egypt to invest up to $5 billion (at 100%) in the development of the Countrys oil and gas reserves. In addition, Eni revised certain ongoing oil contracts, with the economic effects retroactive to January 1, 2015. The agreement also comprised new measures to reduce overdue amounts of trade receivables relating to hydrocarbon supplies to Egyptian state-owned companies.
Eni was awarded three Concession Agreements in Egypt, for the Southwest Melehia block in the western desert, as well as the Karawan and North Leil blocks in the Mediterranean Sea. In October 2015, Eni was awarded two offshore blocks, North El Hammad

(operated by Eni with a 37.5% interest) and North Ras El Esh (Enis interest 50%).
Eni made a gas discovery in the Latif block (Eni 33.3%) in Pakistan.
In Myanmar, Eni was awarded two Production Sharing Contracts (PSCs) for the exploration of the offshore blocks MD-02 and MD-04.
In Norway, Eni acquired the 40% interest and the operatorship of the exploration license PL 806 in the Barents Sea and the 13.12% interest in PL 044C license in the North Sea.
In the United Kingdom, Eni was awarded four licenses in the Central North Sea and finalized the acquisition of three licenses in the southern area of the North Sea.
In Angola, Eni sanctioned a three-year extension of the exploration period of the Block 15/06, where the first oil from the West Hub development project was achieved at the end of 2014.
Outlook
The outlook 2015 features a slowdown in the global economic growth caused by the reduced pace of activity in China and other emerging economies. These trends drove downwards the prices of commodities. Against this backdrop, crude oil prices have contracted markedly, falling below the 50 $/bl mark during summer months. The fundamentals of the oil market remain weak due to oversupplied global markets and uncertainties about the resilience of demand, which in the course of 2015 has shown a noticeable recovery till now. Crude oil prices for the FY 2015 are forecasted to be significantly lower than the previous year. In the Exploration & Production segment, management will carry out efficiency initiatives relating to operating costs and optimize investments, while retaining a strong focus on project execution and time-to-market delivery in order to cope with the negative impact of a lower oil price environment. In the downstream sectors of gas, refining and chemicals, considering the structural issues of overcapacity and competitive pressure on a global scale, management has targeted executed efficiency measures, contract renegotiations and capacity optimizations in order to achieve structurally positive results and cash flows.
Management expects the following production and sales trends
for Eni's businesses:
- Hydrocarbon production: production is expected to
achieve strong growth, increasing by approximately 9% from 2014
driven by new field start-ups and ramp-ups in 2014 mainly in
Venezuela, Norway, the United States, Angola, Egypt and Congo in
additions to projected higher volumes in Libya;
- Gas sales: excluding the impact of the divestment of
Enis assets in Germany and the unusual weather conditions
in 2014, natural gas sales are expected to remain stable compared
to 2014. Management intends to leverage on marketing innovation
in the wholesale and retail markets in order to mitigate
competitive pressures. Based on the marketing initiatives and the
renegotiations performed till now, a substantial recovery of
prepaid gas volumes in previous reporting periods is expected
compared to amounts outstanding as of December 31, 2014;
- Refining throughputs on Enis account: excluding
the impact of the divestment of the Company's share of capacity
in the CRC refinery in the Czech Republic, completed in April 30,
2015, volumes are expected to increase from 2014 driven by a
favorable trading environment and better plant performance on the
back of yield ramp-up at the EST conversion unit of the
Sannazzaro refinery. Production of bio-fuels is projected to
increase at the restructured Venice plant;
- Retail sales of refined products in Italy and the Rest of
Europe: retail sales in Italy are expected to slightly
decline compared to 2014 due to strong competitive pressure,
against the backdrop of improving trends in fuel demand. The
proprietary network is expected to perform well. Outside Italy,
retail sales are expected to slightly increase, excluding the
impact of the divestment of the Companys retail networks in
Eastern Europe.
In 2015, in the context of lower oil prices, Enis management plans to implement capital project optimization and rescheduling which will reduce expenditure compared to the 2014 levels by approximately 17%, excluding the impact of the US dollar exchange rate and other changes. These initiatives are estimated to have a limited impact on our production growth outlook in the near to medium term. When excluding Saipem, capex is expected to be self-financed through operating cash flow as early as in 2015 at a Brent scenario of 55 $/bl. Leverage is expected well below the 0.30 threshold thanks to the Saipem transaction.

New segmental reporting of Eni
Enis segmental reporting is established on the basis of
the Groups operating segments that are evaluated regularly
by the chief operating decision maker (the CEO) in deciding how
to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Effective
January 1, 2015, Enis segment information was modified to
align Enis reportable segments to certain changes in the
organization and in profit accountability defined by Enis
top management. The main changes adopted compared to the previous
setup of the segment information related to:
Results of the oil and products trading activities and
related risk management activities were transferred to the Gas
& Power segment, consistently with the new organizational
setup. In previous reporting periods, results of those activities
were reported within the Refining & Marketing segment as part
of a reporting structure which highlighted results for each
stream of commodities;
R&M and Chemicals operating segments are now combined
into a single reportable segment because a single manager is
accountable for both the two segments and they show similar
long-term economic performance;
The previous reporting segments "Corporate and
financial companies" and "Other activities" have
been combined being residual components of the Group.
The comparative reporting periods of this press release have been
restated consistently with the new segmental reporting adopted by
the Group. In the table below the key performance indicators of
segmental reporting are furnished with reference to the full year
2014 and quarterly reporting periods presented herein as restated
in accordance with the new reportable segments adopted by Eni.

Group results
Reported
In the third quarter of 2015 Eni reported an operating profit of
euro 61 million and a net loss of euro 952 million,
compared to an operating profit and net profit of euro 2,579
million and euro 1,714 million, respectively in the third quarter
of 2014. Operating performance was negatively impacted by sharply
lower Brent prices (down by 51%) reflected in lower revenues from
the E&P segment and lower carrying amounts of oil and
products inventories under the weighted-average cost accounting.
Furthermore, the Gas & Power segment reported a negative
performance (an operating loss of euro 577 million) due to the
reversal of natural gas volumes prepaid in previous years, whose
carrying costs were higher than the current average supply cost
of the Eni gas portfolio, and an unfavorable trading environment
impacting certain sales to large clients.
These negatives were partly offset by higher production volumes,
the depreciation of the euro against the dollar and progress made
in efficiency programs and capacity optimization, mainly in the
Chemical business (up euro 236 million). The net loss reported in
the third quarter of 2015 was significantly impacted by a higher
consolidated tax rate mainly in the E&P segment.
In the first nine months of 2015 Eni reported a lowered operating
performance (down by 76%) and a net loss of euro 361 million.
These trends were affected by the same drivers disclosed for the
quarterly results, as well as by the extraordinary loss incurred
by Saipem (down euro 1,076 million) in the second quarter of
2015.
Adjusted
In the third quarter of 2015 adjusted operating profit excluding
Saipem profit was euro 604 million, declining by 79% from the
third quarter of 2014 (euro 3,513 million, down by 60.1% in the
nine months). Adjusted net loss attributable to Enis
shareholders excluding Saipem contribution, was euro 289
million in the third quarter of 2015, down by euro 1,416 million
from the third quarter of 2014 (in the first nine months of 2015
adjusted net loss declined by euro 2,349 million compared to same
period of the previous year, or down by 75.6%).
Group's adjusted operating profit for the third quarter of 2015
was euro 752 million, down by 75.2%; adjusted net loss of euro
257 million was down by euro 1,426 million compared to an
adjusted net profit reported in the same quarter of the previous
year.
Positive adjustments to adjusted net profit of euro 695 million
related to an inventory loss of euro 332 million and special
charges of euro 363 million, net of tax. Furthermore, adjusted
operating profit also takes into account exchange rate
differences and exchange rate derivatives, which are entered into
to manage exposure to exchange rate risk in commodity pricing
formulas and trade receivables or payables denominated in a
currency other than the functional currency (a gain of euro 20
million).
In the nine months of 2015, Group's adjusted operating profit of
euro 3,081 million declined by 66.7%; adjusted net profit of euro
530 million was 83.7% lower than the previous year. The net
result excluded an inventory loss (euro 373 million) and special
charges (euro 518 million), resulting in an overall positive
adjustment of euro 891 million.
Special items of the operating profit (net charges of euro 205 million and euro 530 million, in the third quarter and the first nine months of 2015, respectively) comprised: (i) gains on the divestment of non-strategic oil&gas assets (euro 385 million in the first nine months of 2015), mainly in Nigeria; (ii) the effects of the fair-value evaluation of certain commodity derivatives lacking the formal criteria to be accounted as hedges under IFRS (gains of euro 134 million and charges of euro 23 million in the third quarter and the first nine months of 2015, respectively); (iii) impairment losses (euro 29 million and euro 380 million in the two reporting periods, respectively) mainly relating to vessels and logistical hubs in the Engineering & Construction segment (euro 211 million) due to expected lower utilization rates, an oil&gas property in the United Kingdom and investments made for compliance and stay-in-business purposes at cash generating units that were completely written-off in previous reporting periods in the Refining & Marketing and Chemicals segment; (iv) environmental provisions (euro 32 million and euro 176 million in the quarter and the first nine months, respectively) and provisions for redundancy incentives (euro 13 million and euro 29 million, respectively); (v) a charge of euro 205 million accounted for in the third quarter of 2015 due to an estimate revision of revenues accrued on the sale of electricity to retail customers in Italy along the latest five exercises. A comparable review of the same estimation procedure is ongoing and relates to the sale of gas to retail customers in Italy. The outcome of this review, which is expected to be finished by the fourth quarter of 2015, could result in significant adjustments to the estimation of gas revenues accrued and yet to be billed to end customers.
Non-operating special items excluded from the adjusted results mainly comprised of the negative fair-value evaluation of certain exchange rate derivatives to hedge Saipems future exposure on acquired contracts for the parts yet to be executed (charge of euro 49 million in the first nine months of 2015). Special items on income taxes related to the tax effects of special gains/charges in operating profit and a reversal of deferred taxation due to changes in the United Kingdom tax law.

The Summarized Group Balance Sheet was affected by a sharp movement in the EUR/USD exchange rate which determined an increase in net capital employed and total equity of euro 3,227 million and euro 3,325 million respectively, while net borrowings decreased by euro 98 million. This was due to translation into euros of the financial statements of US-denominated subsidiaries reflecting a 7.7% appreciation of the US dollar against the euro (1 EUR = 1.12 USD at September 30, 2015 compared to 1.214 at December 31, 2014).
Fixed assets (euro 86,565 million) increased by euro 4,357 million from December 31, 2014. This trend was attributable to favorable currency movements, capital expenditure (euro 8,653 million) partly offset by depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment charges of euro 8,505 million.
Net working capital (negative euro 5,649 million) decreased by euro 357 million. This reflected a lower balance of trade receivables and trade payables (down by euro 1,305 million) mainly in the G&P segment. This was offset by increased other current assets and liabilities (up by euro 901 million) following the increase in net balances due to Eni by joint venture partners in the Exploration & Production segment, partly offset by the reversal of the deferred costs related to pre-paid gas volumes in previous reporting periods in the G&P segment.
Shareholders equity including non-controlling interest was euro 61,174 million, representing a decrease of euro 1,035 million from December 31, 2014. This was due to dividend distribution and other changes of euro 3,485 million (euro 3,457 million being the 2014 balance dividend and the interim dividend for 2015 paid to Enis shareholders and dividends to non-controlling interests). This was offset by comprehensive income for the period (euro 2,450 million) related to a net loss from the profit and loss account (euro 855 million) more than offset by other items of the comprehensive income, notably the positive foreign currency translation differences (euro 3,325 million).
(7) The summarized Group balance sheet aggregates the amount of assets and liabilities derived from the statutory balance sheet in accordance with functional criteria, which consider the enterprise conventionally divided into the three fundamental areas focusing on resource investments, operations and financing. Management believes that this summarized Group balance sheet is useful information in assisting investors to assess Enis 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 Enis financing structure is sound and well-balanced.

In the first nine months of 2015, net cash provided by operating activities amounted to euro 7,388 million. Proceeds from disposals were euro 905 million and mainly related to the divestment of non-strategic assets in the Exploration & Production segment. These inflows funded a fair share of the capital expenditure for the period (euro 8,653 million) and the payment of the 2015 interim dividend and the balance dividend for 2014 (euro 3,434 million) to Enis shareholders. The Groups net debt increased by euro 4,729 million from December 31, 2014 to euro 18,414 million as of September 30, 2015.
Financial and operating information by segment for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2015 is provided in the following pages.
(8) Enis summarized Group cash flow statement derives from the statutory statement of cash flows. It enables investors to understand the link existing between changes in cash and cash equivalents (deriving from the statutory cash flows statement) and in net borrowings (deriving from the summarized cash flow statement) that occurred from the beginning of the period to the end of period. The measure enabling such a link is represented by the free cash flow which is the cash in excess of capital expenditure needs. Starting from free cash flow it is possible to determine either: (i) changes in cash and cash equivalents for the period by adding/deducting cash flows relating to financing debts/receivables (issuance/repayment of debt and receivables related to financing activities), shareholders equity (dividends paid, net repurchase of own shares, capital issuance) and the effect of changes in consolidation and of exchange rate differences; (ii) changes in net borrowings for the period by adding/deducting cash flows relating to shareholders equity and the effect of changes in consolidation and of exchange rate differences. The free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure of financial performance.

Results
In the third quarter of 2015, the Exploration
& Production segment reported an adjusted operating profit of
euro 757 million, down by euro 2,331 million, or 75.5% from the
third quarter of 2014. This result was driven by lower oil and
gas realizations in dollar terms (down by 52.5% and 31.5%,
respectively), reflecting the lower price for Brent (down by
50.7%) and lower gas prices in Europe and in the United States,
while being only partially offset by a favorable exchange rate
environment, higher production volumes, opex efficiencies and
lower exploration costs.

Considering the marked decline in the prices of commodities recorded in the course of 2015, Eni calculated the DD&A charge of its oil&gas properties for the third quarter of 2015 on the basis of a reviewed unit-of-production rate. This was determined by estimating the impact of price changes on entitlements of proved developed reserves at all of Eni's PSAs contracts. The reference price for this review was $63 per barrel of Brent price corresponding with the average rolling prices registered for the twelve months ended as of September 30, 2015 (unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each of the twelve months).
Adjusted net loss for the quarter amounted to euro 70 million. This represented a decrease of euro 1,294 million from the euro 1,224 million profit registered in the same period of the previous year, due to lower operating performance and a higher tax rate (110.1%). This was impacted by a deteriorating price scenario, which resulted in the segment taxable profit being earned in countries with higher rates of taxes and being impacted to a larger extent by certain expenses that could not be deducted from taxable profit among which successful exploration costs relating to projects yet to be sanctioned.
In the first nine months of 2015, the Exploration & Production segment reported an adjusted operating profit of euro 3,245 million, down by euro 6,274 million, or 65.9% y-o-y, due to the same drivers of the quarter.
Adjusted operating profit for the first nine months of 2015 excluded a negative adjustment of euro 225 million. This was due to gains on asset disposals (euro 376 million) mainly in Nigeria, partly offset by asset impairment in the United Kingdom (euro 49 million) and losses on fair-valued derivatives embedded in the pricing formulas of long-term gas supply agreements (euro 26 million).
Adjusted net profit of the first nine months of 2015 amounted to euro 619 million, down by euro 3,069 million, or 83.2% y-o-y. This was due to lower operating performance and a higher tax rate.
Operating review
In the third quarter of 2015, Enis hydrocarbon production was 1.703 million boe/d, 8.1% higher than in the third quarter of 2014 (1.718 million boe/d in the first nine months; up by 8.7% from the corresponding period of the previous year). Excluding the price effects reported in Production Sharing Agreements, production increased by 4.3% (up 4.9% in the first nine months). The increase was driven by new field start-ups and the continuing ramp-up of production at fields started in 2014, mainly in Angola, Venezuela, the United States, the United Kingdom and Egypt, which added an estimated 142 kboe/d of new production, as well as higher production in Libya. These positive effects were partly offset by declines in mature fields. The share of oil and natural gas produced outside Italy was 90% in the quarter and in the first nine months of the year (compared to 89% in the corresponding periods a year ago).
Liquids production was 868 kbbl/d, up by 56 kbbl/d, or 6.9% from the third quarter of 2014, with major increases registered in Angola and Egypt. Natural gas production was 4,582 mmcf/d, up by 385 mmcf/d, or 9.2% y-o-y. The declines in the mature fields were more than offset by the contribution of new fields and the ramping up of production at fields started at the end of 2014, mainly in the United Kingdom, Venezuela and the United States, as well as higher production in Libya.
In the first nine months of 2015, liquids production amounted to 877 kbbl/d, up by 62 kbbl/d, or 7.6% compared to the nine months of 2014, mainly due to the start-up of new fields and the ramping up of production at existing fields during the period. Natural gas production for the first nine months of 2015 was 4,618 mmcf/d, up by 414 mmcf/d, or 10.1% compared to the same period a year ago.
The following start-ups were achieved in the first nine months: (i) Kizomba Satellite Phase 2, in Block 15, off Angola, with recoverable resources of 190 million barrels and an expected plateau of 70 kbbl/d; (ii) Cinguvu, in the West Hub Development project in Block 15/06 in Angola. Cinguvu was the second field to come on stream after Sangos in 2014. These two fields are currently producing about 60,000 barrels/d; (iii) Nené Marine field, in Marine XII block in Congo, which started production just eight months after obtaining the production permit. The early production phase is yielding 7.5 kboe/d; (iv) the Hadrian South field, in the Gulf of Mexico flowing at 16 kboe/d net to Eni and the Lucius field with 7 kboe/d net to Eni; and (v) other field start-ups were West Franklin Phase 2 in the United Kingdom, Perla in Venezuela and Eldfisk 2 Phase 1 in Norway.

Results
In the third quarter of 2015, the Gas &
Power segment reported an adjusted operating loss of euro 469
million, down by euro 289 million with respect to the adjusted
operating loss of euro 180 million reported in the corresponding
period of 2014. This declining performance reflected the reversal
of gas prepaid in previous years with a book value higher than
the current average supply cost of the Eni gas portfolio and an
unfavorable trading environment impacting certain sales to large
clients.
Adjusted operating loss for the quarter was calculated by including a positive adjustment of euro 151 million (euro 184 million for the first nine months of the year) relating to: (i) a charge of euro 205 million accounted for in the third quarter of 2015. This was due to an estimate revision of revenues accrued on the sale of electricity to retail customers in Italy in the past five years. A comparable review of the same estimation procedure is ongoing and relates to the sale of gas to retail customers in Italy. The outcome of this review, which is expected to be closed by the fourth quarter of 2015, could result in significant adjustments to the estimation of gas revenues accrued and yet to be billed to end customers; (ii) gains on the fair-value evaluation of certain commodity derivatives contracts (euro 68 million in the quarter; euro 54 million in the first nine months); and (iii) a gain of euro 9 million in the quarter (a charge of euro 16 million in the first nine months) which was due to the reclassification in adjusted results of exchange rate differences and exchange rate derivatives, which are entered into to manage exposure to exchange rate risk in commodity pricing formulas and trade receivables or payables denominated in a currency other than the functional currency.
In the third quarter of 2015, the adjusted net loss amounted to euro 354 million. This represented a decrease of euro 243 million from the same period of the previous year, driven by the same drivers described in the operating profit disclosure.
- 13 -
In the first nine months of 2015, the Gas & Power segment reported an adjusted operating loss of euro 144 million, down by euro 220 million from the euro 76 million profit reported in the first nine months of 2014 due to the same drivers described in the quarter as well as higher one-off effects relating to the renegotiations performed in the corresponding period of 2014 partially offset by higher sales in the retail market.
The Gas & Power segment reported an adjusted net loss of euro 132 million in the first nine months of 2015, down by euro 184 million compared to the euro 52 million net profit reported in the same period of a year ago due to the weaker operating performance and lower results of equity-accounted entities.
Operating review
In the third quarter of 2015, Enis natural gas sales were 20.49 bcm, up by 4.4% from the same period of the previous year. Sales in Italy increased by 8% to 7.82 bcm driven by higher spot sales partially offset by slightly lower sales in thermoelectric, medium sized enterprises and services and industrial segments. Sales in the European markets decreased by 3.6% to 8.88 bcm due to lower sales in Benelux, due to lower spot sales and UK due to increasing competitive pressure. These negatives were partly offset by higher sales in Germany/Austria due to higher volumes marketed in the "large" segment and higher sales in Turkey to Botas. Sales to long-term buyers amounted to 1.20 bcm, up by 29% from the corresponding period a year ago. Sales in extra-European markets increased due to higher international LNG sales (up by 22.9%).
In the first nine months of 2015, Enis natural gas sales were 68.50 bcm (including Enis own consumption, Enis share of sales made by equity-accounted entities and upstream sales in Europe and in the Gulf of Mexico), up by 3.03 bcm, or 4.6% from the same period of the previous year. Sales in Italy increased by 12.6% to 28.93 bcm due to higher spot sales and more typical weather conditions compared to the corresponding period of the previous year. These positive performances were partially offset by lower volumes marketed to thermoelectric segment due to the competition of other sources (in particular renewables) and a contraction in electricity demand registered in particular in the first part of the year. Sales in the European markets amounted to 29.09 bcm, down by 4.2% from the same period of the previous year. This can be attributed to lower spot sales in Benelux and the United Kingdom as well as Germany/Austria due to the divestment of GVS joint venture occurred in 2014. These issues were partially offset by higher spot sales in France and Turkey due to higher sales to Botas. Sales to long-term buyers amounted to 3.44 bcm, up by 24.6% from the corresponding period a year ago.
Electricity sales were 9 TWh in the third quarter of 2015, increasing by 9% (25.82 TWh, up by 6.4% in the first nine months) compared to the same period a year ago due to better weather conditions and lower hydroelectric production.

Results
In the third quarter of 2015, the Refining & Marketing
and Chemicals segment reported an adjusted operating profit of
euro 335 million, up by euro 323 million y-o-y. This positive
performance was driven by the improved results of the Refining
& Marketing business, which recorded an adjusted operating
profit of euro 163 million, up by euro 52 million from the third
quarter of 2014. The performance was driven by the improved
refining margin scenario, as well as efficiency and optimization
initiatives that helped lower the breakeven margin to around $5.5
per barrel. Thanks to these measures, the Company will break even
in its refining activity a year earlier than planned, i.e. in
2015 at the current forward scenario. Marketing activity
registered a slightly better performance due to efficiency
initiatives, which absorbed the effects of competitive pressure.
- 15 -
The Chemical business reported an adjusted operating profit of euro 172 million, up by euro 271 million from the operating loss of euro 99 million reported in the third quarter of 2014. This result was driven by efficiency and optimization initiatives, through the closure/reconversion of loss-making plants and shutdown of non-competitive production lines. Thanks to these measures, the Company has found itself well positioned to leverage an ongoing recovery in the trading environment, particularly in the ethylene, polyethylene and styrene businesses. The latter benefited by a temporary shortage of certain products, unscheduled facility shutdowns and lower competitiveness of imported products reflecting the euro devaluation. In the nine months of 2015 the restarting of production at the Porto Marghera site, following commercial agreements with Shell, also drove the positive performance.
Special charges excluded from adjusted operating profit of the third quarter of 2015 amounted to a net negative of euro 3 million (a net positive amounting to euro 288 million in the nine months). This comprised fair-value evaluation of certain commodity derivatives (gains of euro 60 million in the quarter and charges of euro 57 million in the nine months) lacking the formal criteria to be accounted as hedges under IFRS. Other charges related to impairment losses to write down capital expenditure of the period made at CGUs totally impaired in previous reporting periods (euro 25 million in the quarter and euro 95 million in the nine months of the year) and environmental charges (euro 32 million and euro 112 million in the quarter and in the nine months of the year, respectively).
Adjusted net profit for the third quarter of 2015 amounted to euro 251 million, up by euro 227 million from the third quarter of 2014 due to improved operating performance.
In the first nine months of 2015, the Refining & Marketing and Chemicals segment reported an adjusted operating profit of euro 561 million, up by euro 1,118 million from an adjusted net loss of euro 557 million reported in the nine months of 2014.
Adjusted net profit amounted to euro 426 million, up by euro 845 million from the euro 419 million net loss reported in the same period of 2014.
Operating review
In the third quarter of 2015, the Standard Eni Refining Margin (SERM) more than doubled from the level of the third quarter of 2014 (from 4.4 $/bl in the third quarter of 2014 to 10 $/bl in the quarter 2015). This trend reflected lower marker Brent price. However, structural headwinds in the European refining sector remain due to overcapacity and increasing competitive pressure from cheaper streams of products imported from Russia, Asia and the United States.
In this context, Enis refining throughputs on own account for the third quarter of 2015 were 6.51 mmtonnes (20.01 mmtonnes in the first nine months of 2015), down by 3% from the third quarter 2014. On a homogeneous basis when excluding the impact of the disposal of the refining capacity in Czech Republic and the reconversion shutdown at Gela refinery, Enis refining throughputs increased by 6.9% (19.28 mmtonnes, up by 18.4%, in the first nine months of 2015). Volumes processed in Italy increased by 7.3% and 16.8% in the quarter and in the first nine months of the year, respectively, reflecting a favorable trading environment. On a homogeneous basis volumes increased by 20.1% in the first nine months. The volumes of green feedstock processed at Venice facility reported an increase from 2014 (year of the operations start-up). Outside Italy, Enis refining throughputs on a homogeneous basis increased in Germany due to lower facility downtime (up 4.1% in the quarter and up 6.8% in the nine months).
Retail sales in Italy were 1.56 mmtonnes in the third quarter of 2015 (4.41 mmtonnes in the nine months) were barely unchanged from the corresponding period of 2014 (down by approximately 20 ktonnes, or 1.3%). In the first nine months of 2015 retail sales in Italy decreased by approximately 220 ktonnes, or 4.8%, due to increasing competitive pressure. In the third quarter of 2015 Enis market share amounted to 24.3%, down by 1 percentage point from the corresponding period of the previous year (25.3%).
Wholesale sales in Italy (2.17 mmtonnes and 5.89 mmtonnes in the third quarter and the first nine months of 2015, respectively) increased by approximately 50 ktonnes, or 2.4% in the quarter; up by 5.4% in the first nine months of 2015, mainly due to higher sales of gasoil and bunkering driven by higher demand. This was partly offset by lower volumes sold of minor products and kerosene. Average market share in the third quarter of 2015 increased by 0.8 percentage points to 27.6%.
Retail sales in the rest of Europe were 0.77 mmtonnes in the third quarter of 2015 (2.25 mmtonnes in the first nine months of 2015), decreased by 7.2% y-o-y (down by 3% in the first nine months) due to the assets disposal in Czech Republic, Slovakia and Romania, partly offset by higher sales in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Petrochemical production were 1.52 mmtonnes (4.28 mmtonnes; up 7.3% in the first nine months), increasing by 28.4% from the third quarter of 2014 mainly due to higher intermediates sales.

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