Eni completes the authorization process for the development of Zohr gas field
San Donato Milanese (Milan), February 21, 2016 - The Egyptian Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources has approved that the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Co (EGAS) grants Eni the Zohr Development Lease, which, following the contractual framework definition, allows for the development of the gas field, located in the Shorouk Concession, offshore Egypt.
The development plan envisages the start of production by the end of 2017, just two years after the discovery, with a progressive ramp up until reaching a volume of about 75 million standard cubic meters of gas per day (equivalent to approximately 500,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day) by 2019. The quick realization of such a large project will be possible through cooperation with Petroject, Enppi and Saipem contractors, who have always contributed to the success of Enis development activities in Egypt.
The discovery of Zohr was announced on August 30, 2015 following the drilling of the Zohr-1 well which occurred within the Shorouk Concession Agreement, in which IEOC is the sole operator. Currently in the drilling phase is Zohr-2, the first appraisal well of Zohr discovery.
Eni has been present in Egypt since 1954 through its subsidiary IEOC Production BV, a company that has always been a frontrunner in exploring and exploiting gas resources in Egypt since the discovery of the Abu Madi Field in 1967. In 2015, the equity production in the country was about 200 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day.

Eni: Approval of the development plan for Enis Coral discovery offshore Mozambique
San Donato Milanese (Milan), February 24, 2016 - Eni announces the approval of the Plan of Development for the Coral discovery, offshore Mozambique. The approval has been granted by the Government of Mozambiques Council of Ministers.
The approval relates to the first phase of development of 5 trillion cubic feet of gas in the Coral discovery, located in the Area 4 permit. The discovery is located in water more than 2,000 meters deep and approximately 80 kilometers offshore of the Palma bay in the northern province of Cabo Delgado.
The giant discovery, made in May 2012 and outlined in 2013, proved the existence of a high quality field of Eocenic age with excellent productivity. It is estimated to contain around 16 trillion cubic feet (TCF) of gas in place, wholly located in Area 4.
The Plan of Development, the very first one to be approved in the Rovuma Basin, foresees the drilling and completion of 6 subsea wells and the construction and installation of a technologically advanced state-of-the-art Floating LNG facility, the capacity of which will be around 3.4 MTPA.
The Project is also the first in the Rovuma Basin to be granted the Environmental License, in September 2015, at the end of a thorough process involving local communities and national authorities. It was the result of an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment Study, carried out according to the highest standards for the industry.

"Todays approval of the Coral Plan of Development is a historical milestone for the development of our discovery of 85 TCF of gas in the Rovuma Basin. It is a fundamental step to progress toward the Final Investment Decision of our project which envisages the installation of the first newly built Floating LNG facility in Africa and one of the first in the world. We are proud of Enis partnership with Mozambique, a key country in the companys strategies" Enis CEO, Claudio Descalzi said.
In addition, Eni and its partners are diligently pursuing the development of important gas reserve base of the Mamba Discovery, which allowed in December 2015 the achievement of a unitization agreement with Area 1.
Eni is the operator of Area 4 with a 50% indirect interest, owned through Eni East Africa (EEA), which holds a 70% stake of Area 4. The other Concessionaires are Galp Energia, KOGAS and Empresa Nacional de Hidrocarbonetos (ENH) with a 10% stake each. CNPC owns a 20% indirect interest in Area 4 through Eni East Africa.

"In 2015, Eni achieved remarkable results in its transformation process, which will see the group become even more focused on its core oil&gas business, and even better organized to compete in a low energy price environment as reflected in the Eni scenario which is aligned with a conservative market consensus. The complex deconsolidation of Saipem has been completed in four months providing Eni with net proceeds of euro 4.8 billion. Our efforts to rationalize costs have achieved better than expected results, and enabled us to self-finance capex in 2015 at 50 $/bbl, 13 $/bbl less than expected a year ago. These actions of efficiency, however, have not affected Enis impressive level of growth in the market, in the short or the medium term. In E&P, production grew by 10%. Both our exploration resources and our proven reserves, recorded high growth, demonstrating the quality of our portfolio of assets. In the G&P and R&M businesses, consolidation has continued, with the G&Ps results in line with expectations and R&Ms results beating expectations. In 2016, similar to the previous year, we are continuing Enis transformation process with the goal of making the group even stronger and better able to operate in difficult external conditions, enabling us to maintain solid growth expectations. Based on these results, I will propose to the Board of Directors on March 17 the distribution of a final dividend of euro 0.4 per share" commented Claudio Descalzi, Enis Chief Executive Officer.

Continuing
and Discontinued operations Enis preliminary results for the Q4 and FY2015 have been prepared in addition to the consolidated basis, stating separately continuing operations from discontinued operations, the latter accounted for in accordance to IFRS 5. Discontinued operations comprise: |
| The E&C operating segment which is managed by Enis subsidiary Saipem SpA. On January 22, 2016, there was the closing of the preliminary agreements signed on October 27, 2015 with the Fondo Strategico Italiano (FSI). Those include the sale of a 12.5% stake plus one share of the share capital of Saipem to FSI and the concurrent enter into force of the shareholder agreement with Eni, which was intended to establish joint control over the former Eni subsidiary. Therefore effective for the full year, Saipem assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and cash flow have been classified as discontinued operations. In addition as provided by IFRS 5, Enis net assets in Saipem have been aligned to the lower of their carrying amount and fair value given by the share price at the reporting date. | |
| The chemical segment managed by Enis wholly-owned subsidiary Versalis SpA. As of the reporting date, negotiations were underway to define an agreement with an industrial partner who, by acquiring a controlling stake of Versalis, would support Eni in implementing the industrial plan designed to upgrade this business. Therefore, effective for the full year, likewise Saipem, Versalis assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and cash flow have been classified as discontinued operations. In addition, Enis net assets in Versalis have been aligned to the lower of their carrying amount and their fair value based on the transaction that is underway. |
Consequently, in this press release the review of the financial performance of the Q4 and FY 2015 mainly focuses on the results of the continuing operations. In this regard, taking into consideration that gains and losses pertaining to the discontinued operations include according to the accounting provided by IFRS 5 only those resulting from transactions with third parties, the results of the continuing operations do not fully illustrate the underlying performance given the elimination of gains and losses |
- 2 -
on intercompany transactions with the discontinued operations. The same is true for the performance of the discontinued operations. The bigger the intercompany transactions, the larger that sort of misrepresentation.
In particular, the accounting of the E&C segment as
discontinued operations according to IFRS 5 criteria yields a
benefit to the continuing operations due to the elimination of
the costs incurred towards Saipem for the execution of contract
works commissioned by Enis Group companies for maintenance
and construction of assets (plants and other infrastructures). On
the contrary, the accounting of the chemical segment as
discontinued operations affects the results of the continuing
operations due to the elimination of revenues relating to the
supply of oil-based petrochemical feedstock and other plant
utilities to Versalis, mainly from the Groups R&M
segment.
Because of this, throughout this press release management has
presented measures of the underlying performance of the
continuing operations on a standalone basis by reinstating the
effects of the elimination of intercompany transactions. These
performance measures by excluding gains and losses of the
discontinued operations earned from both third parties and the
Groups continuing operations, actually determine the
derecognition of the two disposal group. These measures are:
standalone adjusted operating profit, standalone adjusted net
profit and standalone cash flow from operations.
Standalone adjusted results
In the Q4 2015, standalone adjusted operating
profit from continuing operations was euro 0.86 billion, down
by 64% from Q4 2014. This reflected a lower contribution from the
E&P segment (down by euro 1.17 billion, or 58%) driven by the
impact of sharply lower oil prices (down by approximately 43%),
partly offset by production growth, cost efficiencies and the
depreciation of the euro against the dollar (down 12.3%). The
G&P and R&M segments reported positive adjusted operating
profit, albeit lower than in Q4 2014 (down by an overall amount
of euro 0.2 billion) due to the negative oil price environment
and, in the case of G&P, the unfavorable outcome of
commercial arbitration.
Overall, despite production growth and efficiency gains of euro
0.7 billion, the low oil price environment had a fundamentally
negative effect on the operating performance in Q4 down by euro
1.9 billion net of currency differences, while lower onetime
effects associated with gas contract renegotiations negatively
affected operating profit by euro 0.3 billion.
For the FY 2015, standalone adjusted operating profit from
continuing operations was euro 4.1 billion and it was down by
euro 7.34 billion or 64% y-o-y. The decrease was driven mainly by
the upstream segment which reported sharply lower results (down
euro 7.44 billion, or 64%) due to falling commodity prices, with
an impact of euro 8.8 billion net of currency differences,
partially offset by production growth and efficiency and
optimization gains of euro 2.2 billion, while lower onetime
effects associated with gas contract renegotiations negatively
affected operating profit by euro 0.7 billion.
In Q4 2015, standalone adjusted net loss from continuing operations was euro 0.20 billion, down by euro 0.73 billion from the adjusted net profit of euro 0.53 billion reported in Q4 2014. The drivers were a decline in operating profit and a higher tax rate. This latter was due to the E&P tax rate, which was negatively affected by: i) the recognition of a major part of the positive pre-tax results in PSA contracts, which, although more resilient in a low-price environment, nonetheless bear higher-than-average rates of tax; ii) a higher incidence of non-deductible expenses on the pre-tax profit that has been lowered by the scenario.
Standalone adjusted net profit from continuing operations
in the FY2015 amounted to euro 0.34 billion, down by euro 3.52
billion y-o-y, or 91%, due to the same factors mentioned above.
The consolidated tax rate increased by 28 percentage points y-o-y
to 93%.
Excluding the impact of the higher incidence on pre-tax profit of
certain non-deductible expenses in E&P, where this incidence
is expected to prospectively come down due to the effect of lower
amortization charges going forward as a result of the impairment
losses recorded in 2015 driven by the price outlook, and also
restating the Group operating profit in accordance with the
successful-effort-method accounting of exploration expenses, net
of impaired exploration projects, the Group tax rate has been
re-determined in 79% and 63% for the FY2015 and FY2014,
respectively.

Standalone cash flow
The standalone cash flow from operating activities from
continuing operations came in at euro 12.19 billion in the
FY2015 benefiting from the positive effect of working capital.
Non-recurring effects of the working capital positively
influenced cash flow by approximately euro 2.2 billion. Proceeds
from disposals were euro 2.26 billion and comprised the almost
entirety available-for-sale shareholding in Snam due to the
exercise of the conversion right from bondholders (euro 0.91
billion), the disposal of an available-for-sale interest in Galp
(euro 0.66 billion), as well as non-strategic assets mainly in
the Exploration & Production segment. These inflows funded a
fair amount of the financial requirements for the dividend
payments to Eni shareholders (euro 3.46 billion, of which euro
1.44 billion related to the interim dividend 2015), capital
expenditure for the year (euro 10.78 billion) and other changes
related to capital expenditure (euro 1.35 billion). As of
December 31, 2015, net borrowings6 increased by euro
3.18 billion to euro 16.86 billion compared to December 31, 2014,
driven by the dividend payments, cash absorbed by the
discontinued operations and currency translation effects as well
as by the reclassification of Saipem net cash in the discontinued
operations.
Compared to September 30, 2015, net borrowings decreased by euro
1.55 billion due to cash flow from operating activities
pertaining to continuing operations (euro 4.01 billion), cash
from discontinued operations (euro 0.50 billion) and cash
proceeds from the disposal of Enis interests in Snam and
Galp, which were partly offset by capital expenditure for the
period and currency translation effects as well as by the
reclassification of Saipem net cash in the discontinued
operations.
As of December 31, 2015, the ratio of net borrowings to
shareholders equity including non-controlling interest
leverage7 increased to 0.31, compared to
0.22 as of December 31, 2014. This increase was due to greater
net borrowings and a reduction in total equity, which was
impacted by the result of the year and dividend payments, partly
offset 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,
ultimately resulting in an equity gain. The US dollar was up by
10.3% compared to the closing of the previous reporting period at
December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015. The effects of the
Saipem transaction yielded a 9-points reduction in leverage to
0.22, calculated on a pro-forma basis on the financial position
as of December 31, 2015.
Dividend 2015
The Board of Directors intends to submit a proposal
for distributing a dividend of euro 0.80 per share8
(euro 1.12 in 2014) at the Annual Shareholders Meeting.
Included in this annual payment is euro 0.40 per share which was
paid as interim dividend in September 2015. The balance of euro
0.40 per share is payable to shareholders on May 25, 2016, the
ex-dividend date being May 23, 2016.
Business developments
Eni has finalized a strategic oil agreement in Egypt,
which provides investment of up to $5 billion (at 100%) to

Eni signed a preliminary agreement with KazMunayGas to acquire 50% of the mineral rights in the Isatay block in the Caspian Sea.
Eni signed an agreement to supply 1.4 mmtonnes/y of LNG from the Eni-operated Jangkrik field (Enis interest 55%) to the Indonesian state-run company PT Pertamina, effective in 2017. The agreement will support the development of the Jangkrik field.
In Ghana, Eni sanctioned the final investment decision for the integrated Offshore Cape Three Points (OCTP) oil and gas project (Eni 47.22%, operator). The first oil is expected in 2017.
In Angola, Eni signed a three-year extension of the exploration period of the Block 15/06, where the first oil from the West Hub development operated project was achieved at the end of 2014.
Eni entered Mexicos upstream sector by signing the Production Sharing Contract as operator (Enis interest 100%) of Block 1 to develop the oilfields of Amoca, Miztón e Tecoalli. These fields, located in the Gulf of Mexico shallow waters, are estimated to hold 800 million barrels of oil and 14 billion cubic meters of gas in place. The delineation campaign of the fields will be submitted to the Mexican authorities in the first quarter of 2016. This campaign foresees the drilling of four wells in order to define a combined and fast track development plan.
In Mozambique, following the signing of the Unitization and Unit Operating Agreement (UUOA) and in full agreement with all the concessionaries of the projects, a unitization was set out for the development of the natural gas reservoirs straddling Areas 4 (operated by Eni East Africa) and 1 (operated by Anadarko) in the Rovuma Basin, offshore Mozambique. In accordance with the UUOA, the development of the straddling reservoirs will be carried out at an early stage in a separated but coordinated way by the two operators, until 24 Tcf of natural gas reserves are developed (12 Tcf of natural gas from each Area). Future developments will be jointly pursued by Area 4 and Area 1 concessionaires. The Final Investment Decision relating the Mamba field in Enis operating Area is expected in 2017.
Eni renewed the exploration rights portfolio with the acquisition of approximately 20,000 square kilometers net of new acreage mainly in Egypt (Southwest Melehia in the Western Desert, Karawan and North Leil), Myanmar (two offshore blocks), Norway (three licenses), the United Kingdom (7 offshore licenses) and Mexico (Area 1).
In 2015, exploration activities added 1.4 bboe to the Companys reserve backlog at a cost of $0.7 per barrel (compared to a target of 500 million boe). In addition to the supergiant Zohr success, the main discoveries were made: (i) in the prospect Nkala Marine in the Marine XII block in Congo; (ii) in Egypt, with a gas and condensates discovery in the Noroos prospect in the West Abu Madi license, which has entered production in just two months and the Melehia West Deep discovery in the Western Egyptian Desert; (iii) in Libya, in the contractual area D with a gas and condensates discovery; (iv) in Indonesia, in the Merakes field.
As planned, Eni achieved the start-up of 10 major new fields, of which the most significant were: | ||
| The giant Perla gas field offshore Venezuela, retaining a potential of up to 17 Tcf of gas in place (or 3.1 billion boe). 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; | |
| The Cinguvu field, part of the West Hub Development project in Block 15/06 offshore Angola. In addition, early in 2016 the third Mpungi satellite field came on stream achieving an overall plateau of 100 kboe/d; | |
| Nené Marine in Congo in early production, just 8 months after obtaining authorization and sixteen months following the discovery; | |
| The Kizomba project off Angola, Lucius and Hadrian off the United States in the Gulf of Mexico, Nooros in Egypt and West Franklin phase 2 in the United Kingdom. |

Outlook
The global macroeconomic outlook for 2016 is
characterized by a number of risks and uncertainties, mainly due
to the continued slowdown in Chinas industrial activity,
the Eurozone and other commodity-exporting countries. After
hitting multi-year lows of below $30 per barrel, the price of
crude oil is expected to continue to be weak due to structural
imbalances in the marketplace driven by oversupply and renewed
uncertainties surrounding the pace of future energy demand in the
medium and long term.
Based on this macroeconomic outlook, Enis management has
revised downwards its pricing assumptions of the Brent crude oil
marker utilized in each of the periods of the Companys
strategic plan 2016-2019: particularly the long-term reference
price has been reduced to 65 dollar-a-barrel, down from the
90-dollar case utilized in the previous planning assumptions. In
order to cope with the anticipated negative impact of the
scenario on the E&P results from operations and cash flow,
management is planning to increase efforts to optimize capex and
reduce operating costs by exploiting the deflationary pressure
induced by the fall in crude oil prices. In the G&P sector,
management anticipates a challenging environment pressured by
weak demand growth and oversupplies. The Company confirms its
strategy to renegotiate long-term supply contracts in order to
align the supply terms with market conditions, as well as boost
profitability in its high-value businesses (LNG, gas retail and
trading). In the R&M sector management expects still
profitable refining margin, although lower than in 2015. In this
context, business strategies will be focused on the optimization
of refinery processes and costs as well as on the enhancement of
results in marketing.
Managements forecasts for the Groups production
and sale metrics are explained below:
- Hydrocarbons production: management expects production
to be flat y-o-y due to the expected start-up of new fields,
particularly in Norway, Egypt, Angola, Kazakhstan and the United
States, and the ramp-up of fields started in 2015 to offset
decline at mature fields;
- Natural gas sales: against the backdrop of weak demand
and strong competition, management expects gas sales to be
slightly down y-o-y in line with an expected reduction of the
contractual minimum take of long-term supply contracts.
Management plans to retain its market share in the large
customers and retail segments also increasing the value of the
existing customer base by developing innovative commercial
propositions, by integrating services to the supply of the
commodity and by optimizing operations and commercial activities;
- Refinery intake on own account: refinery intake are
expected flat y-o-y excluding the effect of the disposal of
Enis refining capacity in CRC refinery in Czech Republic
finalized on April 30, 2015;
- Refined products sales in Italy and in the rest of Europe:
against the backdrop of weak demand growth and strong
competition, management expects to consolidate volume and market
share in the Italian retail market also increasing the value of
the existing customer base by leveraging our offer
- 6 -
differentiation, innovation in products and services as well as efficiency in logistic and commercial activities.
In 2016, management expects to carry out a number of
initiatives intended to reduce capital spending by 20% y-o-y on a
constant exchange rate basis by re-phasing and rescheduling
capital projects, being increasingly selective with exploration
plays and renegotiating contracts for the supply of capital goods
in order to cope with the slump in crude oil prices. Those
initiatives are expected to have a limited impact on our plans to
grow production in the short and medium term. Management
forecasts that capex will be 100%-funded by cash flow from
operations under a 50 dollar-a-barrel scenario. Operating costs
per boe is expected to be reduced by 11% y-o-y.
The Groups leverage is projected to be below the 0.30
threshold thanks to the closing of the Saipem transaction,
optimization of the underlying performance and portfolio
management, which are expected to reduce the impact of the oil
and gas prices.
On March 18, 2016, Eni is hosting a strategy presentation to outline the Companys strategy and targets for the 2016-2019 plan, as well as the current economic and financial outlook.
In this press release on the Group consolidated accounts for the fourth quarter and the full year 2015, results and cash flow are presented for the fourth and third quarter of 2015, for the fourth quarter of 2015 and for the full year 2015 and 2014. Information on liquidity and capital resources relates to the period ending as of December 31, September 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014. Except for the adjusted results on a standalone basis, statements presented in this press release are comparable with those presented in the managements disclosure section of the Companys annual report and interim report. Accounts set forth herein have been prepared in accordance with the evaluation and recognition criteria set by the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the European Commission according to the procedure set forth in Article 6 of the European Regulation (CE) No. 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and European Council of July 19, 2002. These criteria are unchanged from the 2014 annual report on form 20-F filed with the US SEC on April 2, 2015, and the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2015, which investors are urged to read.
In this press release illustrating Enis preliminary results for Q4 and FY2015, the two operating segments E&C and Chemical have been classified as discontinued operations based on the guidelines of IFRS 5, because at the reporting date there was the firm commitment of the management to recover their carrying amounts through a sale transaction and it was highly probable that a sale transaction would be consummated in a short-time frame.
The comparative reporting periods of this press release have been restated consistently.
The Saipem transaction was finalized on January
22, 2016, with the closing of the sale of a 12.5% stake in the
entity to the Fondo Strategico Italiano (FSI) and the concurrent
enter into force of the shareholder agreement between the parties
intended to establish joint control over the former subsidiary.
Saipem is due to be derecognized from Enis consolidated
accounts effective January 1, 2016.
Negotiations are underway with an industrial partner who has
showed interest in acquiring a controlling stake of Versalis, the
100%-owned Eni subsidiary, which manages the Group chemical
business, thus supporting Eni in implementing the industrial plan
designed to upgrade the business.
Because Eni is exiting two major lines of business, the mentioned
disposal groups have been represented and accounted for as
discontinued operations. Based on this accounting, gains and
losses pertaining to the discontinued operations include only
those earned form transactions with third parties, while gains
and losses on intercompany transactions have continued being
eliminated because both Saipem and Versalis were fully
consolidated subsidiaries at the 2015 reporting date. The
accounting of the discontinued operations entails that in
presence of large intercompany transactions, the results of the
continuing operations do not fully illustrate the underlying
performance given the elimination of gains and losses on
intercompany transactions with the discontinued operations.
Regarding Saipem, the cost incurred by the entity for the supply
of capital goods and maintenance services to Enis group
companies are eliminated upon consolidation. Regarding Versalis,
the revenues earned by the Group operating companies, mainly in
the R&M segment, for the supply of oil-based chemical
feedstock are eliminated upon consolidation.
Furthermore, Saipem ceased recognizing depreciation charges form
the classification date (November 1, 2015; Versalis was
classified as discontinued operations at the reporting date). The
carrying amounts of goodwill and other non-current assets at both
disposal groups were adjusted to take into account the alignment
of the two disposal groups net assets to their fair values at the
reporting date, given by the market price for Saipem and the fair
value based on the transaction that is underway for Versalis.
New segmental reporting of Eni | ||
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 have been restated consequently (see tables below) and to reflect the representation of discontinued operations. In particular, Versalis results have been reclassified from the "R&M and Chemical" reporting segment and accounted as discontinued operations together with the E&C business.

Disclaimer
This press release, in particular the statements under the
section "Outlook", contains certain forward-looking
statements particularly those regarding capital expenditure,
development and management of oil and gas resources, dividends,
allocation of future cash flow from operations, future operating
performance, gearing, targets of production and sales growth, new
markets and the progress and timing of projects. By their nature,
forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties
because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that
will or may occur in the future. Actual results may differ from
those expressed in such statements, depending on a variety of
factors, including the timing of bringing new fields on stream;
managements ability in carrying out industrial plans and in
succeeding in commercial transactions; future levels of industry
product supply; demand and pricing; operational issues; general
economic conditions; political stability and economic growth in
relevant areas of the world; changes in laws and governmental
regulations; development and use of new technology; changes in
public expectations and other changes in business conditions; the
actions of competitors and other factors discussed elsewhere in
this document. Due to the seasonality in demand for natural gas
and certain refined products and the changes in a number of
external factors affecting Enis operations, such as prices
and margins of hydrocarbons and refined products, Enis
results from operations and changes in net borrowings for the
fourth quarter of the year cannot be extrapolated on an annual
basis.
The all sources reserve replacement ratio disclosed elsewhere in this press release is calculated as ratio of changes in proved reserves for the year resulting from revisions of previously reported reserves, improved recovery, extensions, discoveries and sales or purchases of minerals in place, to production for the year. A ratio higher than 100% indicates that more proved reserves were added than produced in a year. The Reserve Replacement Ratio is a measure used by management to indicate the extent to which production is replaced by proved oil and gas reserves. The Reserve Replacement Ratio is not an indicator of future production because the ultimate development and production of reserves is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. These include the risks associated with the successful completion of large-scale projects, including addressing ongoing regulatory issues and completion of infrastructure, as well as changes in oil and gas prices, political risks and geological and other environmental risks.

Group financial review
Reported results
In Q4 2015 Eni reported a net loss pertaining to continuing operations of euro 6,891 million (euro 7,793 million in the FY2015), which was sharply lower y-o-y when Eni reported a net loss of euro 2,294 million in Q4 2014 and break-even in the FY2014. A prolonged slide in crude oil prices has negatively affected the Groups performance, eroding results from operations and the value of assets.
Operating earnings were a loss of euro 5,001 million in Q4 2015 and a loss of euro 2,774 million in the FY2015. These negatives were driven by lower E&P revenues reflecting reduced oil and gas realizations negatively impacted by sharply lower Brent prices (down by 43%), the alignment of the carrying amounts of oil and product inventories to current market prices and the recognition of material impairment losses mainly taken at the Group oil&gas CGUs (euro 4,453 million). In performing the impairment review, Enis management assumed a reduced long-term price outlook for the Brent crude oil price down to $65 per barrel compared to the previous $90-a-barrel case adopted for valuating asset recoverability in the 2014 annual report. Furthermore, the Q4 operating loss was impacted by an estimate revision of euro 346 million taken at revenues accrued on the sale of natural gas and electricity to retail customers in Italy dating back to past reporting periods and the establishment of a provision of euro 130 million (euro 484 million and euro 226 million, respectively in the FY2015).
Enis management has implemented a number of initiatives to mitigate the negative effect of low oil prices on profitability and cash flow. These initiatives include the reduction of E&P operating expenses and the curtailment of capital expenditure by carefully selecting exploration plays, rescheduling and re-phasing large development activities and renegotiating contracts for the supply of plants and other E&P infrastructures, as well as leveraging oilfield services rates on the deflationary pressure induced by the decline in crude oil prices. This reduction in capital expenditure only had a modest impact on hydrocarbon production, which grew by 14% to 1,884 kboe/d in Q4 2015 (up to 1,760 kboe/d for the FY2015, or 10% from 2014). The production plateau was the highest in the last 20 quarters (since 2010, on yearly basis). The Refining & Marketing segment returned to underlying profitability supported by plant optimizations and an ongoing margin recovery. The G&P segment almost achieved EBIT break-even, net of extraordinary charges related to the unfavorable outcome of commercial arbitration, despite the postponement of the recognition of gains on the renegotiations of certain long-term supply contracts. Finally, G&A expenses were reduced by euro 0.6 billion.
Net loss for Q4 2015 and the FY2015 was significantly affected by an increased tax rate driven by a deteriorating price scenario in the upstream segment, which resulted in the segments taxable profit earned in PSA contracts, which, although more resilient in a low-price environment, nonetheless bear higher-than-average rates of tax and a higher incidence of non-deductible expenses on the pre-tax profit that has been lowered by the scenario. In addition, the tax rate was impacted by lower recognition of deferred tax assets relating operating losses due to a reduced profitability outlook (euro 860 million). The Group tax rate was also impacted by the write-off of Italian deferred tax assets of euro 870 million in the full year due to projections of lower future taxable profit at Italian subsidiaries and the reduction of the statutory tax rate from 27.5% to 24%, which was considered as substantially enacted at the reporting date.
Net loss attributable to Enis shareholders including both continuing operations and discontinued operations amounted to euro 8,460 million in Q4 and to euro 8,821 million for the FY2015. The loss of the discontinued operations pertaining to Enis shareholders was affected by the recognition of impairment losses on the disposal groups Saipem and Versalis, which net assets were aligned to the lower of their carrying amounts and fair value. Enis net assets in Saipem and Versalis were aligned respectively to the share price at the reporting date and the likely outcome of the industrial agreement, which is being evaluated in the negotiations currently underway, resulting in an overall impairment charge of euro 1,969 million. Partly offsetting, a fair-valued derivative gain of euro 49 million was recorded for Saipem due to the
- 11 -
difference between the transaction price (euro 8.39 per share)
and the market price at the reporting date (euro 7.49 per share)
for the stake disposed of to FSI.
On January 22, 2016, following the closing of the Saipem
transaction, the residual interest in the former subsidiary was
initially recognized as investment in a joint venture and was
aligned at the market price at closing of euro 4.2 per share with
a charge through profit and loss of euro 441 million.
Subsequently, in February 2016, Saipems market
capitalization has fallen sharply. Under the provisions of IAS 10
these negative developments do not constitute adjusting events of
the Saipem valuation made in the 2015 accounts which aligned the
Saipem carrying amount to the market price at December 31, 2015.
Adjusted results on a standalone basis
In Q4 2015, adjusted operating profit of continuing
operations was euro 857 million, down by 63.7% y-o-y (euro
4,103 million, down by 64.1% in the full year). Adjusted net
loss pertaining to continuing operations attributable to
Enis shareholders amounted to euro 200 million in Q4
2015, down by euro 725 million y-o-y.
The adjusted net loss comprises positive adjustments of euro
6,691 million related to: (i) an inventory post-tax loss of euro
365 million, (ii) post-tax special charges of euro 6,147 million;
(iii) an adjustment amounting to euro 179 million was made to
reinstate the elimination of gains and losses on intercompany
transactions with the discontinued operations in order to obtain
a Non-GAAP measure which is indicative of the underlying
performance of the continuing operations.
In the FY2015, adjusted operating profit of continuing operations was euro 4,103 million, down by 64.1%; adjusted net profit of euro 336 million was down by euro 3,518 million. Net result excluded a post-tax inventory loss (euro 561 million), post-tax special charges (euro 6,536 million) and an adjustment amounting to euro 1,032 million, which was made to reinstate the elimination of gains and losses on intercompany transactions with the discontinued operations in order to obtain a Non-GAAP measure, which is indicative of the underlying performance of the continuing operations. These adjustments resulted in an overall positive adjustment of euro 8,129 million.
Special items of the operating profit of continuing operations (net charges of euro 5,453 million and euro 5,754 million, in the fourth quarter and the full year 2015, respectively) comprised: (i) impairment losses (euro 4,659 million and euro 4,824 million in the two reporting periods, respectively) mainly relating to oil&gas properties driven by the impact of a lower price environment on the expected future cash flows in the medium and long-term. The most notable impairments refer to certain assets, which were acquired by the Group following business combinations in previous reporting periods (Algeria, Congo and Turkmenistan) and to CGUs which are currently operating in high-cost areas (USA, UK, Norway and Angola). Furthermore, investments made for compliance and stay-in-business purposes were written off at cash generating units previously devaluated in the Refining & Marketing business. Finally, impairment losses were recorded at the Group power plants in the G&P segment due to a weak margins scenario; (ii) net charges in the Gas & Power segment due to an estimate revision of revenues accrued on the sale of natural gas (euro 346 million) and electricity (euro 138 million) to retail customers in Italy and the establishment of a provision for these revenues (euro 130 million for gas sale and euro 96 million for electricity); (iii) the effects of the fair-value evaluation of certain commodity derivatives lacking the formal criteria to be accounted as hedges under IFRS (charge of euro 141 million and of euro 164 million in the fourth quarter and the full year 2015, respectively); (iv) environmental provisions (euro 60 million and euro 204 million in the two reporting periods, respectively) and provisions for redundancy incentives (euro 4 million and euro 27 million, respectively).
Non-operating special items related to income taxes related to the tax effects of special gains/charges in operating profit, the write-off of certain deferred tax assets (euro 870 million in FY2015) due to projections of lower future taxable profit at Italian subsidiaries and the reduction of the statutory tax rate. In addition, similar adjustments to deferred tax assets were recognized outside Italy at E&P subsidiaries (euro 860 million). These charges were partly offset by the 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, net borrowings and total equity by euro 4,670 million, euro 136 million and euro 4,534 million, respectively. This was due to translation into euros of the financial statements of US-denominated subsidiaries reflecting a 10.3% appreciation of the US dollar against the euro (1 EUR = 1.089 USD at December 31, 2015 compared to 1.214 at December 31, 2014).
Fixed assets (euro 71,150 million) decreased by euro 11,058 million from December 31, 2014 mainly due to the reclassification of the tangible and intangible assets of Saipem and Versalis as discontinued operations. Other changes related to impairment losses and DD&A at continuing operations (euro 14,477 million), which were partly offset by currency movements and capital expenditure (euro 10,775 million). The reduction in the line item "Equity-accounted investments and other investments" was due to the divestment of Enis interest in Snam and Galp.
Net working capital was in negative territory at minus euro 10,047 million and decreased by euro 4,755 million y-o-y. This mainly reflected the mentioned reclassification of the disposal groups Saipem and Versalis as discontinued operations. In addition, the G&P segment reduced its working capital, while the carrying amount of oil and gas inventories declined due to the impact of lower prices on the weighted-average cost accounting method as well as the destocking of products and gas inventories as part of ongoing optimization measures. These decreases were partly offset by the increased balance of other current assets and liabilities. This was due to increased working capital exposure to joint venture partners in E&P. This latter increase was partly offset by the reversal of the deferred costs related to pre-paid gas volumes in previous reporting periods in the G&P segment following the off-taken of the underlying gas; while an opposite trend was recorded due to our long-term buyers off-taking Enis gas. Finally, the change in the balance of tax payables and provisions for deferred taxes (up euro 1,297 million) reflected the write-off of Italian deferred tax assets (euro 870 million) due to projections of lower future taxable profit at Italian subsidiaries as well as deferred tax assets of subsidiaries located outside Italy of

(10) 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.

the upstream segment (euro 860 million) and the reimbursement/transferring to financing institutions of taxes receivables in Italy (approximately euro 900 million).
Discontinued operations, asset held for sale including related liabilities (euro 10,448 million) comprised: (i) Saipem and its subsidiaries considering the arrangements signed in October 2015 with the Fondo Strategico Italiano (FSI). These include the sale of a 12.5% stake of the share capital of Saipem to FSI and a concurrent shareholder agreement with Eni intended to establish joint control over the target entity; (ii) the chemical operating segment. As of the reporting date, negotiations were underway to define an agreement with an industrial partner who, by acquiring a controlling stake of Versalis, would support Eni in implementing the industrial plan designed to upgrade this segment. In addition, the book value of goodwill and of the non-current assets of the two disposal groups have been aligned to the fair value of the underlying net assets. This item also includes non-strategic assets in the Refining & Marketing and Gas & Power businesses.
Shareholders equity including non-controlling interest was euro 53,632 million, representing a decrease of euro 8,577 million from December 31, 2014. This was due to net loss in comprehensive income for the year (euro 5,070 million) given by net loss of euro 9,416 million partly offset by positive foreign currency translation differences (euro 4,534 million). Also affecting the total equity was dividend distribution and other changes of euro 3,478 million (euro 3,457 million being the 2014 final dividend and the interim dividend for 2015 paid to Enis shareholders and dividends to other non-controlling interests).

In 2015, net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations amounted to euro 11,181 million and was impacted by the eliminations of intercompany flows with discontinued operations. When reinstating these effects, the standalone net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations adds up to euro 12,189 million for FY2015 and euro 4,007 million for Q4 2015. Proceeds from disposals were euro 2,258 million and mainly related to an interest in Snam due to exercise of the conversion right by bondholders (euro 911 million), an interest in Galp (euro 658 million) and the divestment of non-strategic assets mainly in the Exploration & Production business. These inflows funded part of capital expenditure (euro 10,775 million), other changes relating to capital expenditure and the payment of Enis dividend (balance dividend for fiscal 2014 and the 2015 interim dividend totaling euro 3,457 million). When considering the cash flow of discontinued operations, the Groups net debt increased by euro 3,178 million to euro 16,863 million, net of negative exchange rate differences and the reclassification of Saipem net cash in the discontinued operations.
Standalone net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was euro 12,189 million for the FY2015 and euro 4,007 million in the Q4 2015, and it fully funded capital expenditures. The
__________________
(11) 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.

Group cash flow performance was excellent (down 15% and down 12%, respectively, from the corresponding periods of 2014) in spite of sharply lower oil prices. This result was driven by optimization initiatives in working capital performed mainly in the G&P, with the substantial recovery of prepaid gas volumes and other renegotiation benefits, and in the R&M segment as well as in corporate activities. Non-recurring effects of the working capital positively influenced cash flow by approximately euro 2.2 billion.

Results
In the fourth quarter of 2015, the Exploration &
Production segment reported an adjusted operating profit of euro
862 million, down by euro 1,170 million, or 57.6% y-o-y. This
change was driven by lower oil and gas realizations in dollar
terms (down by 41.8% and 38.9%, respectively), reflecting the
lower price for the marker Brent (down by 42.7%) and lower gas
prices in Europe and in the United States. The price effect was
only partially offset by a favorable exchange rate environment,
higher production volumes, opex efficiencies and lower
exploration expenses.
Adjusted net profit for the quarter amounted to euro 137 million. This represented a decrease of euro 598 million y-o-y, down 81%, and was due to a lower operating performance and a higher tax rate (84.5%). This latter was negatively affected by: (i) the recognition of a major part of the positive pre-tax results in PSAs contracts which, although more resilient in a low-price environment nonetheless, bear higher-than- average rates of tax; (ii) a higher incidence of non-deductible expenses on the pre-tax profit that has been lowered by the scenario.
- 17 -
In the FY2015, the Exploration & Production segment reported an adjusted operating profit of euro 4,107 million, down by euro 7,444 million, or 64.4% y-o-y, due to the same drivers experienced in the quarter.
Adjusted net profit amounted to euro 756 million, decreasing
by euro 3,667 million, or 82.9% from 2014, due to lower operating
performance and an increased adjusted tax rate (81.4%) due to the
same drivers disclosed in the quarterly results.
Excluding the impact of the higher incidence on pre-tax profit of
certain non-deductible expenses, because this incidence is
expected to prospectively come down due to the effect of lower
amortization charges going forward as a result of the impairment
losses recorded in 2015 driven by the price outlook, and also
restating the Group operating profit in accordance with the
successful-effort-method accounting of exploration expenses, net
of impaired exploration projects, the E&P tax rate has been
re-determined in 70% and 60% for the FY2015 and FY2014,
respectively.
In the FY2015, taxes paid represent approximately the 34% of the cash flow from operating activities of the E&P segment before changes in working capital and income taxes paid, slightly lower than in 2014.
For the FY2015, special charges determined a positive adjustment of euro 4,246 million (euro 4,471 million in Q4) mainly relating to: (i) impairments of oil&gas properties (euro 4,453 million) driven by the projections of lower hydrocarbon prices in the medium to long term which affected their recoverable amounts. The most notable impairments refer to certain assets, which were acquired by the Group following business combinations in previous reporting periods (Algeria, Congo and Turkmenistan) and to CGUs which are currently operating in high-cost areas (USA, UK, Norway and Angola); (ii) fair value of certain derivatives of financial instruments embedded in the pricing formula of long-term gas supply agreements (a charge of euro 12 million); and (iii) gains on disposals of non-strategic assets (euro 414 million), particularly in Nigeria.
Operating review
In Q4 2015, Enis hydrocarbon production
was 1.884 million boe/d, 14.3% higher than in the fourth quarter
of 2014 (1.760 million boe/d in FY2015; up by 10.1% from 2014).
Excluding the price effects reported in Production Sharing
Agreements, production increased by 11.6% (up 6.3% y-o-y). 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 and the United Kingdom,
higher production in Libya and Iraq as well as the recovery of
trade receivables for past investments in Iran. These positive
effects were partly offset by the decline of mature fields. New
field start-ups and ramp-ups of production added an estimated 198
kboe/d of new production (139 kboe/d y-o-y). The share of oil and
natural gas produced outside Italy was 91% in the quarter and 90%
in the full year (compared to 89% in the corresponding periods a
year ago).
Liquids production (998 kbbl/d) increased by 130 kbbl/d, or
15% from the fourth quarter of 2014.
Natural gas production for the fourth quarter of 2015 was 4,868
mmcf/d, increasing by 584 mmcf/d (up 14%) from the corresponding
period a year ago.
In 2015, liquids production (908 kbbl/d) increased by 80 kbbl/d, or 9.7%, due to new fields start-ups and ramp-ups and higher production in Libya, Iran and Iraq. Natural gas production (4,681 mmcf/d) increased by 457 mmcf/d, or 10.8% from 2014.
The following start-ups were achieved over the course of the year: (i) the giant Perla gas field in the Cardon IV block (Enis interest 50%), located in the Gulf of Venezuela, with more than 490 mmcf/d at 100% of production at the end of the year; (ii) the Kizomba satellites Phase 2 project in the block 15 (Enis interest 20%), in the Angolan offshore, with recoverable reserves of 190 million barrels and a production plateau of 70 kbbl/d; (iii) the Cinguvu fields, following the first oil of Sangos started-up in 2014, within the West Hub Development project in the block 15/06 (Eni operator with a 35% interest) in Angola and a production of approximately 50 kbbl/d (18 kbbl/d net to Eni). Since January 2016, the start-up of Mpungi fields will support production ramp-up of 100 kbbl/d expected during the year; (iv) the Hadrian South field (Enis interest 30%), in the Gulf of Mexico flowing at approximately 16 kboe/d
- 18 -
net to Eni and the Lucius field (Enis interest 8.5%) with approximately 7 kboe/d net to Eni; (v) Nené and Litchendjili fields in the block Marine XII (Eni operator with a 65% interest) in Congo, West Franklin phase 2 (Enis interest 21.87%) in the United Kingdom and Eldfisk 2 phase 1 (Enis interest 12.39%) in Norway.

All sources addition were impacted by favorable price effect,
leading to an upward revision of 278 mmboe, due to a lowered
Brent price used in the reserves estimation process down to $54
per barrel in 2015 compared to $101 per barrel in 2014.
Sales of mineral-in-place mainly related to the divestment of
certain assets in Nigeria.
The reserves life index was 10.7 years (11.3 years in 2014).
The company will provide additional details relating to its 2015 reserves activity in its regular annual filing with the Italian market Authorities and the US SEC.

Results
In Q4 2015, the Gas & Power segment reported an
adjusted operating profit of euro 18 million, down by euro 74
million, or 80.4% y-o-y. The change reflected the one off
economic benefits associated to certain contracts renegotiation
recorded in the fourth quarter of 2014 as well as the negative
outcome of a commercial arbitration in the fourth quarter of
2015.
Adjusted operating profit for the quarter was calculated by
including a positive adjustment of euro 814 million (euro 998
million in the full year) relating to elimination of a number of
special charges. Those comprised: (i) an estimate revision of
revenues accrued on the sale of gas and power (euro 346 million;
the full year also included euro 138 million for power sales) to
retail customers in Italy dating back to the past reporting
periods and the establishment of a provision for the above
mentioned revenues (euro 130 million for gas; the full year also
included euro 96 million for power). The estimation on retail
sales is performed on data communicated by market operators that
are responsible for verifying actual consumptions with the
possibility to review their measurements until the fifth
subsequent reporting period. We note that the aforementioned
adjustments correspond to approximately two percentage points of
the revenues of the reporting periods to which those accruals
relate; (ii) charges recorded on fair-valued commodity
derivatives (euro 144 million in the quarter; euro 90 million in
the full year) because the underlying physical transactions are
forecasted in future reporting periods; (iii) power plant
impairments due to the projections of future lower margins on
power sales and minor assets (euro 135 million and euro 150
million in the two reporting periods, respectively).

In FY2015, the segment reported an adjusted operating loss of euro 126 million, down euro 294 million from an adjusted operating profit of euro 168 million in 2014. The decline was ascribed to the same drivers of the quarterly performance.
The Gas & Power segment reported an adjusted net loss of euro 168 million in the full year 2015, down by euro 254 million compared to the euro 86 million 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 fourth quarter of 2015, Enis natural gas
sales were 22.38 bcm, down by 5.6% from the same period of the
previous year. Sales in Italy increased by 13.9% to 9.51 bcm
driven by higher spot sales and higher volumes to the wholesaler
segment, partially offset by lower sales to the industrial and
thermoelectric segments. Positive sale trend reported in the
retail segment. Sales in the European markets decreased by 22.5%
to 9.19 bcm due to lower sales in Germany/Austria and the United
Kingdom due to increasing competitive pressure, and in Benelux
and France due to lower spot sales. These negatives were partly
offset by higher spot sales in the Iberian Peninsula and higher
sales in Turkey to Botas. Sales in extra-European markets
increased due to higher international LNG sales (up by 18.6%).
In FY2015, Enis natural gas sales were 90.88 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 1.71 bcm, or 1.9% y-o-y. Sales in Italy increased by 12.9% to 38.44 bcm due to higher spot sales and more typical winter weather conditions compared to 2014. These positive performances were partially offset by lower volumes marketed to the thermoelectric segment due to the competition from other energy sources (in particular renewables), a contraction in electricity demand registered in particular in the first part of the year as well as lower sales to the industrial segment due to increasing competitive pressure. Sales in the European markets amounted to 38.28 bcm, down by 9.3% from 2014. This can be attributable to lower spot sales in Benelux, in Germany/Austria due to competitive pressure and the divestment of GVS joint venture occurred in 2014, as well as in the United Kingdom. These issues were partially offset by higher sales in Turkey to Botas. Sales to long-term buyers amounted to 4.61 bcm, up by 15% from a year ago.
Electricity sales were 9.06 TWh in the fourth quarter of 2015, decreasing by 2.8% (34.88 TWh, up by 3.9% in 2015) compared to the same period a year ago due to lower sales outside Italy.

Results
In Q4 2015, the Refining & Marketing segment
reported an adjusted operating profit of euro 93 million, down by
euro 118 million y-o-y, or 55.9%, mainly due to the extremely
positive marketing margins registered in the fourth quarter of
2014 when a steep decline in commodity prices occurred.
Special charges excluded from adjusted operating profit in Q4 2015 amounted to a net positive of euro 119 million (a net positive amounting to euro 384 million in FY2015). The main charges were impairment losses to write down capital expenditure of the year made at CGUs totally impaired in previous reporting periods (euro 61 million in the quarter and euro 152 million in the full year) and environmental charges (euro 36 million and euro 116 million in the quarter and in the full year, respectively). Finally, charges on fair-valued commodity derivatives (charges of euro 11 million in the quarter and euro 72 million in the full year) were considered special items because they lacked the formal criteria to be accounted as hedges under IFRS.
Adjusted net profit for the fourth quarter of 2015 amounted to euro 79 million, down by euro 79 million from the fourth quarter of 2014 due to a declining operating performance, only partially offset by higher income from investments.
In FY2015, the Refining & Marketing segment reported an adjusted operating profit of euro 387 million, up by euro 452 million from the adjusted net loss of euro 65 million reported in 2014. This strong performance was driven by an improved refining margin scenario and efficiency and optimization gains, which helped

lower margin to around $5 per barrel, anticipating the EBIT break-even of the refining business to 2015 versus an original guidance for the year 2017 indicated in the 2015-2018 strategic plan.
Operating review
In the fourth quarter of 2015, the Standard Eni Refining
Margin (SERM) increased its value by 32% to 6.6 $/bbl y-o-y (the
margin more than doubled on yearly basis). This trend reflected
lower marker Brent prices and the relative strength in gasoline
prices compared to the feedstock cost.
In this context, Enis refining throughputs for the fourth quarter of 2015 were 6.40 mmtonnes (26.41 mmtonnes in 2015). 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 5.7% (up by 15%, in 2015). Volumes processed in Italy increased by 6.4% and 16.4% in both the reporting periods reflecting a favorable trading environment. The volumes of vegetable oil for the production of biofuels at Venice green refinery reported an increase from 2014 (year of the operations start-up).
Retail sales in Italy were 1.51 mmtonnes in the fourth quarter of 2015 (5.96 mmtonnes in 2015) were barely unchanged from the corresponding period of 2014. In 2015, retail sales in Italy decreased 2.9%, mainly in the motorway network and in lease concessions. In the fourth quarter of 2015, Enis market share amounted to 24.5%. On a yearly basis, the market share of 24.5% decreased by 1 percentage point.
Wholesale sales in Italy (1.99 mmtonnes and 7.84 mmtonnes in the fourth quarter and the full year 2015, respectively) were nearly unchanged in the quarter (up by 3.5% in the full year 2015), mainly due to higher sales of gasoil and almost completely offset by lower volumes of bunkering and fuel oil. Market share in the fourth quarter of 2015 was 26.8%. On a yearly basis, market share was 27.5%.
Retail sales in the rest of Europe were 0.68 mmtonnes in the fourth quarter of 2015 (2.93 mmtonnes in the full year 2015), decreasing by 9.3% y-o-y (down by 4.6% on a yearly basis) due to the assets disposal in Czech Republic, Slovakia and Romania, only partly offset by higher sales in Switzerland, Austria and Germany.

Non-GAAP measures
Reconciliation of reported operating profit and reported net profit to results on an adjusted basis
Management assesses the underlying performance of the
Groups business segments looking at certain Non-GAAP
measures of results from operations. Those Non-GAAP measures are
the adjusted operating profit and the adjusted net profit, which
exclude from reported operating profit and reported net profit
the impact of extraordinary gains and losses ("special
items") pre-tax and post-tax respectively, as well as of the
profit/loss on stock. Special items mainly comprise asset
impairment losses, gains on disposal, restructuring charges,
environmental and other provisions, the fair value of certain
derivative contracts lacking the formal criteria to be accounted
as hedges and write-downs of deferred tax assets. The profit/loss
on stock is the difference between the current costs of supplies
and the cost determined in accordance to the weighted-average
cost accounting method for the evaluation of inventories as
provided by IFRSs.
Furthermore, considering the process to dispose of the two
business segments "E&C" and "Chemical",
which is underway at the reporting date and the related
accounting of the two disposal groups as discontinued operations
in accordance to IFRS 5, management has presented in this press
release additional Non-GAAP measures to assess the performance of
the continuing operations. Those measures are the standalone
adjusted operating profit and the standalone adjusted net profit,
which reinstate in the results of the continuing operations the
effect related to the elimination of profit on intercompany
transactions with the discontinued operations. Those Non-GAAP
measures obtain a representation of the performance of the
continuing operations anticipating the effect of the
derecognition of the discontinued operations. A corresponding
alternative performance measure has been presented for the cash
flow from operating activities.

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.

In the fourth quarter 2015, Saipem reported an EBITDA of euro 368 million, increasing compared to the same period of the previous year. In 2015, EBITDA of euro 497 million significantly decreased from 2014, mainly driven by the recognition in the first half of the year of write-down of the net working capital involving pending revenues and trade receivables, reflecting the deteriorating competitive environment in the oil service sector.

On a standalone basis, Enis Chemical segment reported an adjusted operating profit of euro 40 million (euro 307 million in the full year) increasing by euro 106 million from the operating loss of euro 66 million of the fourth quarter 2014 (a recovery of euro 654 million from the operating loss of euro 347 million in 2014). This result was driven by efficiency initiatives and plants optimization in terms of shutdowns or reconversion of unprofitable sites and the shutdowns of certain production lines. These turnaround initiatives helped to better leverage on the trading environment recovery, mainly in ethylene, polyethylene and styrene. These segments benefited from the temporary shortage of products, unscheduled facility shutdowns and lower competitiveness of imported products reflecting the euro devaluation.

Eni SpA parent company accounts for 2015
Enis Board of Directors also reviewed Eni SpAs preliminary results for 2015 prepared in accordance with IFRSs. Net profit for the full year was euro 1,879 million (euro 4,510 million in 2014, pro-forma result reflecting the merger of Est Più SpA and Società Ionica SpA, effective from December 1, 2015. The operations of these companies are reflected in the parent companys accounts with retroactive effect January 1, 2015). Enis interests in the disposal Group (Saipem and Versalis) are accounted as discontinued operations and have been aligned to their fair value. Net profit pertaining to continuing operations of euro 3,665 million decreased by euro 1,391 million. This trend was due to: (i) the lowered operating performance reflecting the negative impact of the trading environment which affected the Exploration & Production results and the carrying amounts of oil and products inventories; (ii) the estimate revision of revenues accrued in previous years on the sale of natural gas and electricity to retail customers in Italy and the establishment of risk provisions on these revenues. These negatives were partly offset by: (i) Refining & Marketing results supported by ongoing margin recovery, efficiency initiatives and plant optimizations; and (ii) positive contribution of turnaround actions and efficiency programs implemented.
