Claudio Descalzi CEO Eni
In 2022 the Group delivered strong results with an adjusted EBIT of €20.4 billion, doubling the amount of the FY 2021, driven by an excellent performance of the E&P, GGP and R&M businesses.
FY 2022 adjusted net profit attributable to Eni shareholders was €13.3 billion and, compared with FY 2021, was €9 billion higher due to a strong operating performance and higher results of equity-accounted entities.
Shareholders remuneration: in September and November, Eni paid the first and the second quarterly instalments of the 2022 dividend of €0.22 per share each, amounting to €1.47 billion. The third and fourth instalments of €0.22 per share each will be paid to shareholders in March and May, respectively. For 2023, Eni is planning to distribute €0.94 per share, up by 7% from 2022.
In November, Eni completed the announced buy-back program of €2.4 billion, repurchasing 195.55 million shares (equal to 5.48% of the share capital). A new repurchasing programme of €2.2 billion will be launched in 2023.
Net borrowings ex-IFRS 16 as of December 31, 2022, were €7 billion, down by €2 billion compared to December 31, 2021, and Group leverage stood at 0.13, versus 0.20 as of December 31, 2021.
In January 2023, Eni successfully placed the first sustainability-linked bond among the retail public in Italy for a total amount of €2 billion. Orders for over €10 billion were received compared to €1 billion initially offered. The offering was closed in advance in just 5 days.
In 2022 significant progresses were made in the development of our distinctive satellite model, through the set-up of dedicated entities focused on specific businesses, capable of independently accessing capital markets to fund their growth and to unlock the intrinsic value of each business. These entities will continue to benefit from Eni's technologies, know-how and services, while allowing the Group to optimize its financial structure: Plenitude and Sustainable Mobility in the Energy Evolution business Group. Azule Energy and Vår Energi in the Natural Resources business Group were established with the aim of developing new hydrocarbon reserves to support energy security, remunerating shareholders with stable dividend flows and independently financing the related investments, allowing the Group to have additional resources for the optimization of investments in the decarbonized energy portfolio.
In FY 2022 around 750 million boe of new resources were added to the reserve base continuing the delivery of outstanding exploration performance. Several discoveries were made close to existing assets and facilities as part of our fast-track development model in Algeria, Egypt and Abu Dhabi.
Eni signed relevant agreements for the development of Carbon Capture and Storage projects: with Snam to jointly develop and manage the Ravenna Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Project, with the National Oil Corporation of Libya (NOC) for the development of the large gas reserves of A&E Structures, offshore Tripoli, comprising the construction of an onshore Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) hub.
As part of the development of the biorefining business, Eni signed definitive agreements with PBF to partner in a 50- 50 joint venture, St. Bernard Renewables LLC (SBR), for the biorefinery currently under construction in Louisiana (US). The biorefinery start-up is expected in the first half of 2023, with a target processing capacity of about 1.1 million tonnes/year of raw materials to produce mainly HVO Diesel.
Signed significant agreements with strategic partners for the development of joint initiatives in the field of sustainability and innovation, to foster the energy transition process and decarbonisation of its activities, also leveraging joint development innovative initiatives in the fields of agriculture, the protection of forest ecosystems, health and technologies, promoting both agricultural initiatives for the cultivation of oil plants to feed Eni's biorefineries for the production of biofuels and initiatives for the generation of carbon credits and supporting the development of infrastructure and services for health and education of local communities.

"In 2014 we undertook an industrial and financial transformation path which progressively enabled us to create value even in difficult scenarios, delivering security of supplies and environmental sustainability. We have been focussing our exploration and production strategy mainly on gas, leveraging our own production and diversifying our investments across different countries. This has enabled us to put in place our Plan aimed at replacing 20 billion cubic meters of Russian gas by 2025. We have been transforming our downstream platform and invested in technology to create and grow our transition businesses aiming at net zero Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. This enables us today to fully confirm our decarbonization targets despite the current energy security scenario and the need to respond to a strong demand for traditional sources. Today we can clearly outline how the Company will be in 2030: our Upstream operations will no longer produce net emissions; our hydrocarbon production will be composed mainly by gas; our biofuel capacity will exceed 5 million tonnes per year; our renewable energy capacity will be more than 15 GW. And our investments in the most revolutionary technology linked to the energy transition - the magnetic confinement fusion - will be about to result in the first industrial plant.
Finally, we have deeply strengthened the Company from a financial point of view through optimization and rationalization of expenditures, and this allows us today to present our strong financial goals: a significant CFFO generated both from our traditional activities and with the contribution of transition-related businesses; a satellite business model which allows us to enhance the value of our businesses while freeing up additional resources for investment in transition; and a very low debt level. Our financial robustness enables us today to create increasing value for our shareholders and to enhance the remuneration policy."

FREE CASH FLOW

~800 kboe/d new production
PRODUCTION GROWTH (mmboe/d) REDUCING TIME-TO-MARKET AS A CORPORATE CAPABILITY ~3-4% CARG (2022-2026) Our strategic guidelines in the E&P segment are to maximize cash generation by focusing on highly profitable projects, to deploy our fast-track model of reserves development and to reduce direct emissions.
Our upstream commitments are grounded on enhancing the sustainability and value of the portfolio and reducing its cash neutrality and carbon footprint while continuing to capture new business opportunities. Our competitive advantages are the ability to reduce the time-to-market of reserves, which together with efficient exploration helps to ensure a resilient asset portfolio, as well as to manage the upstreamer risks. We intend to focus on capital and cost discipline on shortening the projects cycle and on reducing the time-to-market of our reserves as levers to maintain our development projects profitable also at lower crude oil prices. We forecast to carefully select our development projects against our pricing assumptions and minimum requirements of internal rates of return. We plan to invest €6-6.5 billion on average in the next four-year plan 2023- 2026 to explore for and develop hydrocarbons reserves. Those cash outlays do not include expected expenditures that will be incurred by our participated joint ventures and associates, like the expenditures that will be incurred by Vår Energi and by Azule Energy, this latter commenced operation in the third quarter of 2022. 2022 2023
Time-to-market (years)
Exploration will seek to ensure costeffective replacement of produced reserves, supporting cash generation and evolving our reserve portfolio towards the planned mix of resources featuring a bigger proportion of natural gas. Our exploration initiatives will comprise two clusters: (i) proven/mature areas and targeting near-field, infrastructure lead opportunities, where we can leverage existing infrastructures to readily develop the discovered resources, attaining fast contribution to cash flows and production levels with minimum impact on expenditures; and (ii) selected initiatives in high-risk/high-rewards plays, where we retain high working interests and the operatorship, which will enable us to apply our dual exploration model in case of material discoveries. In 2022 leveraging on this approach, we added around 750 million boe of new resources to the reserve base continuing the delivery of outstanding exploration performance. In the four-year plan 2023-2026, we will invest around €2 billion in exploration activities. Industry Eni Congo LNG Baleine Ph. 1 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0

By 2026 the Company is expected to add around 800 kboe/d of new production from start-ups and ramp-ups; according to our plans all these developments will feature high returns compared to our cost of capital, short payback periods and efficient unitary costs.

Exploration confirmed its streak of excellent performances. We discovered resources equivalent to 125% of our production at competitive cost of lower than 2 \$/boe. In the context of the transition, we continue to target near-field exploration and 60% of discoveries to be gas, supporting the evolution of our production portfolio towards lower emissions. With the same purpose and through the same strategy, we target in the next four-years plan 2.2 billion boe at around 1.5 \$/boe of exploration cost.
EXPLORATION IS CONSISTENTLY HIGH PERFORMING 588 mmboe ~750 mmboe Equity resources Production 2022 2023-2026 2.2 bboe Upstream growth will continue to add higher margin barrels and to generate substantial cash flows as well as to reduce emissions. Our hydrocarbons production is projected to increase at a compounded average of 3-4% in the four-year plan, driven by new projects start-ups and ramp-ups, and then to plateau to 2030, with a gradual increase of the proportion of natural gas in the production mix till achieving 60% by 2030. The main planned developments comprise the gas initiatives in Congo, Libya, Egypt, Italy, and the Middle East, as well as the giant Baleine oil discovery off the Ivory Coast and we expect also to achieve several highquality FIDs. We plan to increase the cash generation and returns leveraging on profitable production growth, capital discipline, fast time-to-market, strict control of operating expenses and working capital needs. As a result of this, our upstream free cash flow organic per barrel in the plan will increase 20% in 2026 compared to 2023, at constant scenario. Phased project development and strict integration between exploration and development have improved the overall project execution and cost efficiency. Finally, all our projects undergo a thorough HSE assessment leading to the definition of an integrated plan to reduce blowout and other well and operational risks and costs.
nologies already available. CCS projects also will contribute to cutting our own net emissions and by providing a solution for other hard-to-abate emitters. We have material projects under development using depleted reservoirs, existing infrastructures, and well-defined economics. Furthermore, we plan to offset residual emissions by leveraging on the naturebased solutions initiatives and the tech-


Levers to reach the target: the development of underground permanent geological storage of CO2 , operational efficiency to minimize direct upstream CO2 emissions and nature-based solutions initiatives, such as through our participation to projects for preserving forests (REDD+), and the application of technological solutions in various areas, with the goal of progressively maximizing the component of carbon removal.

The reduction of reserves' time-to-market is the other great driver for the upstream value creation. Time-to-market of our projects is 3.5 years, twice as fast as the industry averaged benchmark, leveraging on our efficient and original development model. We perform project activities in accordance with a so-called parallel approach as opposed to a sequential approach, for example the discovery appraisal and prefid activities, and by deploying a phased project approach to achieve early startup and then ramping up production, thus reducing the time-to-market; examples of this approach are the Baleine project and the Congo LNG project.

In 2024, a CCS pilot project is expected to start-up off Ravenna, Italy, in JV with Snam, that will leverage Eni's depleted fields and infrastructures in the area. We are also advancing a second UK project, potentially ready by 2027, as well as pursuing opportunities in North Africa and in the Middle East.

E&P segment is also supporting our biorefining activities, by addressing the potential bottleneck of feedstocks availability and cost. In July 2022, we started our agricultural business in Kenya, the first one on this field. We are vertically integrating via agricultural hubs in Africa. Our agri-feedstock supply chain is certified, not in competition with food production and helps to diversify economies and create new employment opportunities in the communities where we operate. Overall target production is expected to subsequently reach an agri-feedstock volume of over 700 thousand tons by 2026 leveraging on planned initiatives.

In 2022, the Global Gas & LNG Portfolio segment reported an adjusted operating profit of €2,063 million, a robust growth compared to 2021 (up by €1,483 million, almost quadrupled from 2021). The positive performance was achieved despite the anticipated reversal in market trends and lower Russian supplies, as well as higher expenses for contract revisions.

Robust growth achieved replacing Russian flows with equity gas or supplies from countries where we operate, and ensuring optimization of the gas and LNG portfolio in a tight market.
Eni's consolidated subsidiaries supplied 60.59 bcm of natural gas, decreased by 10.39 bcm or by 14.6% vs. 2021. Gas volumes supplied outside Italy from consolidated subsidiaries (57.19 bcm), imported in Italy or sold outside Italy, represented approximately 94% of total supplies, decreased by 10.20 bcm or by 15.1% from 2021.
The GGP segment replaced Russian flows with equity gas or supplies from countries where we operate and ensuring optimization of the gas and LNG portfolio in a tight market, while ensuring stable and secure supplies to its customers and managing financial risks.
Natural gas sales amounted to 60.52 bcm (including Eni's own consumption, Eni's share of sales made by equity-accounted entities) and decreased by 9.93 bcm or 14.1% from 2021 due to lower sales in Italy and outside Europe. Sales in Italy (30.67 bcm) decreased by 16.8% vs. 2021 mainly due to lower sales to hub, to industrial and wholesalers segments. Sales to importers in Italy (2.43 bcm) decreased by 15.9% from 2021 due to the lower availability of Libyan gas. Sales in the European markets amounted to 24.98 bcm, substantially in line compared to 2021.


European gas market was characterized by consumption reduction due to mild weather conditions as well as to lower demand in price sensitive sector such as the industrial due to higher prices. In this scenario, demand decreased by approximately 10% and 13% in Italy and in the European Union, respectively, compared to 2021.
In June, Eni entered in the North Field East LNG project in Qatar, the world's largest, expanding its presence in the Middle East and gaining access to a leading country in the LNG production. In August, Eni acquired the Tango FLNG floating liquefaction plant, that will be used in the Republic of Congo, as part of the activities of the natural gas development project Marine Block XII. The plant has an LNG production capacity of approximately 0.6 mmtons/year (about 1 bscm/y). Furthermore, in December among the same project, a turnkey contract for construction, installation and commissioning activities of a FLNG floating unit with a capacity of 2.4 mmtons/y was signed. This plant, together with the Tango FLNG ship, acquired earlier, will accelerate the Eni development plan in the area. LNG production is expected to reach plateau capacity of 3 mmtons/y in 2025.

In 2022, LNG sales (9.4 bcm, included in the worldwide gas sales) decreased by 13.8% from 2021. In 2022 the main sources of LNG supply were Qatar, Egypt, Nigeria and Indonesia.
In January 2023, Eni finalized the sale to Snam of the 49.9% interest (directly and indirectly held) in the companies operating the international gas pipelines connecting Algeria to Italy, in particular the onshore pipelines that extend from the border between Algeria and Tunisia to the Tunisian coast (TTPC) and the offshore pipelines connecting the Tunisian coast to Italy (TMPC). These interests were transferred by Eni to SeaCorridor Srl held by Snam (49.9% interest) and Eni (50.1% interest). Eni and Snam exercise joint control over SeaCorridor.

We plan to retain stable profitability and cash generation in this business in the plan period, although we believe that the level of 2022 profitability benefitted from exceptional market conditions.
Our priority going forward is to complete our stated goal of fully replacing Russian natural gas supplies with other flows by 2025, leveraging the integration between the E&P and the GGP segments. We are planning to step up purchase from our longstanding suppliers and to increase equity production by leveraging the fast time-to-market and ramp-up of natural gas volumes from our E&P projects in Algeria, Egypt, Mozambique, Congo and Qatar.
Against this scenario, the Company's priority in its GGP business is to retain stable profitability and cash generation based on the following drivers: (i) to continuously renegotiate our long-term gas supply and sale contracts to align pricing terms and delivery quantities to current market conditions and dynamics as they evolve; (ii) to effectively manage our portfolio of assets (supply and sales contracts, their flexibilities and optionality and logistics availability) in order to extract value

Furthermore, in January 2023, the partnership between Italy and Algeria has been further strengthened. Eni and Sonatrach signed strategic agreements to accelerate emissions reduction and strengthen energy security. In particular, opportunities for the reduction of greenhouse gas and methane gas emissions will be identified and will be defined energy efficiency initiatives, renewable energy developments, green hydrogen projects and carbon dioxide capture and storage projects, to support energy security and a sustainable energy transition. In addition, studies will be conducted to identify possible measures to improve Algerian energy export capacity to Europe.

In 2022 production of biofuels (HVO) amounted to approximately 428 ktons (down by 27%). The proportion of palm oil supplies was reduced by approximately 28 p.p. vs. 2021, leveraging on the start-up of a new Biomass Treatment Unit (BTU) at the Gela biorefinery, which allows the use up to 100% of biomass not in competition with the food chain. Finally, in October, Eni has definitively ended the supply of palm oil at its operated Venice and Gela biorefineries. Biorefining expansion initiatives included: (i) an economic feasibility study of the construction and management of a biorefinery in Livorno; the project involves a biogenic feedstock pre-treatment unit, a 500 ktons/y Ecofining™ plant and a plant for the production of hydrogen from methane gas; (ii) an agreement with Euglena and Petronas for the construction and management of a biorefinery in Malaysia in the Pengerang Integrated Complex (PIC). The expected capacity of the biorefinery is about 650 ktons/y with an expected production capacity, by 2025, up to 12.5 kbbl/d of biofuel (SAF, HVO and bionaphtha); (iii) a collaboration agreement with the refining company PBF relating to the St. Bernard Renewables LLC (SBR) biorefining project, under construction in Louisiana (USA) through a joint venture. The start-up of the plant is expected in the first half of 2023 with the target of a processing capacity of about 1.1 mmtons/year, mainly for the production of HVO Diesel.

TOWARDS DECARBONIZED SOLUTIONS
During 2022, Eni progressed in the development of increasingly decarbonized solutions/products to people on the move, by setting-up Sustainable Mobility business and signing a number of agreements: (i) Iveco, to develop a sustainable mobility platform for commercial fleets by offering innovative vehicles powered by biofuels and other sustainable energy vectors, such as HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil); (ii) DHL Express Italy and SEA Group, which manages Milan Malpensa and Milan Linate airports to test Eni Biojet, a Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) 20% blended with JetA1 and produced exclusively from waste raw materials, animal fat and used vegetable oils. In 2022, some flights departing from Malpensa were be powered also by SAF produced by Eni in its Livorno
In 2022, R&M reported an adjusted operating profit of €2,183 million in 2022, compared to a loss of €46 million in 2021, due to significantly higher refining margins, optimization measures and initiatives to reduce energy costs. The Chemical business reported an adjusted operating loss of €254 million vs. a profit of €198 million reported in 2021, which reflected unusual market conditions in 2021 due to the pandemic.
refinery in partnership with Eni's biorefinery in Gela; (iii) Saipem, to boost biofuels on Saipem's drilling and construction naval vessels; (iv) Fercam and Spinelli, two of Italy's largest transport and logistics companies, in April 2023, in order to supply them biofuels.
To strengthen smart mobility business, Eni signed a cooperation agreement with XEV to develop the electric city car sector jointly, in particular to implement XEV's battery swapping technology and for the possible assembly of XEV vehicles or parts of them in Italy and for the management of the car battery life cycle from production to installation, maintenance and end-of-life through recycling.
During 2022, Eni's car sharing service has been expanded through the introduction of the XEV YOYO in Turin, Bologna, Florence and Milan.

The volumes of biofuels processed from vegetable oil were 543 mmtonnes down by 18.3% from the previous year (down by 122 ktons), as a result of the increased standstills at Gela biorefinery, partly offset by higher volumes processed at the Venice biorefinery (up by 33 ktons).
In June 2022, Versalis started using packaging made from recycled raw materials from post-consumer industrial packaging. To achieve this goal, two projects have been implemented, "Bag to Bag" and "Liner to Liner", in order to recover and recycle industrial polyethylene packaging bags and putting them back into the system. The two projects will help to reduce the consumption of virgin raw materials by 50% respectively with a consequent reduction in terms of CO2 .
Relating to the transformation of the Porto Marghera site, Versalis signed a new agreement with Forever Plast, which involves the acquisition of an exclusive licence to build an advanced mechanical recycling unit for selected post-consumer plastics from waste sorting, in particular polystyrene and highdensity polyethylene. The plant, which is scheduled to go onstream in 2024 will have a transformation capacity of 50 ktons/y and will produce recycled polymer compounds.
In December 2022, Versalis acquired from DSM a technology to produce enzymes for second-generation ethanol to be employed at the Crescentino plant to integrate the proprietary Proesa® technology to deliver sustainable bioethanol and chemical products from lignocellulosic biomass.
The Group plans to grow significantly the manufacturing capacity of biofuels with the goal of reaching more than 3 mmtons of installed capacity by the end of 2025 through the upgrading of the Gela and Venice plants and by restructuring another traditional plant. Furthermore, a joint venture with a US refining operator is expected to start-up in the first half 2023, which is progressing the upgrading of a refinery to a biorefinery. The environmental footprint of our biorefineries will be improved. As part of our plans to establish a sustainable supply-chain for our biorefineries, we are developing a vertically-integrated business model, which contemplates establishing a network of agricultural hubs in many of the countries of E&P operations, in Africa and in other geographies. This business model has seen the first development in 2022 with a first cargo of vegetable oil produced in Kenya, which was delivered to our biorefineries in Italy. In Marketing activities, where we expect a very competitive environment, we are seeking to retain steady and robust profitability mainly by focusing on innovation of products and services anticipating customer needs, strengthening our line of premium products, as well as efficiency in the marketing and distribution activities. Further value will be extracted by the development of our initiatives in the segment of sustainable mobility and new fuels (for
example the service of recharging electric vehicles, the supply of compressed natural gas and of LNG, as well as the start of the supply of hydrogen) and developing non-fuel products and services.
The Company is focused on executing an industrial plan intended to recover profitability and to transform the business to a structurally more sustainable and competitive products mix, by reducing the exposure to the competitive trends in the most commoditized market segments. The main levers of the industrial plan comprise: i) to increase the weight in the business mix of differentiated products with higher added, also leveraging on growing our market share in the compounding and specialized formulations through Finproject that we acquired in 2021; ii) to develop the business of the circular economy by increasing production of polymers made from the mechanical recycling of waste plastics; iii) to develop the chemicals from renewables feedstocks to address endmarkets with big potential; iv) to improve integration and efficiency, balancing the cracking capacity with the internal needs for manufacturing polymers and lowering trade sales of intermediates which are exposed to the volatility of the cycle. A key driver of our strategy will be our proprietary technologies which can expand our presence in new markets.
In line with the energy transition path, in 2022 the development of green chemistry business progressed through the strengthening of the partnership with Novamont. The commitment to Matrìca – the joint venture set up between Versalis and Novamont at Porto Torres specializing in manufacturing bioproducts from renewable sources – has been reaffirmed aiming at enhancing technologies and productive assets in order to fully develop its products, also within supply chains integrated with the two partners, by focusing on growth in the previously referenced markets. In this context, shareholder agreements have also been redefined: Versalis has increased its interest in Novamont from 25% to 35%. In addition, in April 2023, Versalis finalized an agreement to purchase the remaining participating interest in Novamont retained by the other shareholder Mater-Bi. The closing of the transaction is subject to the customary conditions.
In January 2023, as a part of the Group's satellite strategy to set-up new dedicated entities to accelerate the decarbonization of its customer portfolio (Scope 3 emission), Eni established the new entity Eni Sustainable Mobility. The company is vertically integrated and will support Eni's energy transition by combining the offer of increasingly sustainable fuel with advanced services for drivers in Italy and Europe, leveraging on a network of 5,000 service stations, that will be also enhanced to support electric and hydrogen-based mobility. Eni Sustainable Mobility will manage Eni's biorefining and biomethane assets and will continue the development of new projects, including those at Livorno and Pengerang in Malaysia, which are currently under evaluation.

In 2022, the Plenitude & Power segment reported an adjusted operating profit of €615 million, up by €139 million vs. 2021, in particular, Plenitude reported an adjusted operating profit of €345 million, down 5% compared to 2021, due to the challenging market scenario, while the Power generation business from gas fired plants reported an adjusted operating profit of €270 million in 2022, more than doubled from 2021, due to a favorable price scenario.

Sales in Italy amounted to 4.65 bcm down by 9.5% from 2021, as a result of lower sales to the retail segment. Sales on the European markets of 2,19 bcm decreased by 19.2% (down by 0.52 bcm) compared to 2021. Lower sales were recorded in France and Greece.
Retail power sales to end customers amounted to 18.77 TWh, managed by Plenitude and the subsidiaries in France, Greece and Spain increased by 13.8% from 2021, due to the development of activities in Italy and abroad.

RETAIL GAS SALES IN ITALY (bcm)
In line with the strategy of energy transition and decarbonization of products and processes, Plenitude inaugurated: (i) the Badamsha 2 wind farm located in the Aktobe region, Kazakhstan, the second wind installation in the region, allowing to double the installed capacity of Badamsha 1 project (48 MW, for a total amount of 96 MW installed in the Country); (ii) the 104.5 MW El Monte wind farm, located in the Spanish region of Castilla La Mancha, built in collaboration with the strategic partner Azora Capital. The plant will produce about 300 GWh/year, equivalent to the domestic consumption of 100,000 households; (iii) the 263 MW "Golden Buckle Solar Project" solar farm in Brazoria County, Texas (USA), in January 2023. The plant was built in just over a year and will produce a yearly average of 400 to 500 GWh of solar energy. The plant development was carried out with the support of Novis Renewables, LLC.

Plenitude, thanks to the acquisition of Be Charge, can count on one of the largest and most widespread network of public charging infrastructure for electric vehicles, and represents the first operator in Italy for public fast charging points >100 kW. As of December 31, 2022, there are about 13,000 charging points distributed throughout the Country.
As a recognition of Eni's commitment to sustainable infrastructure development, the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA) has selected a project of Be Charge, the Plenitude integrated operator for electric mobility, to build, by 2025, one of the largest high-speed charging networks in Europe for EVs along key European transport corridors (TEN-T) and at parking areas and in major cities in 8 Countries: Italy, Spain, France, Austria, Germany, Portugal, Slovenia and Greece.


ADJUSTED EBIT (€ mln) 615 2021 2022 Power customers Gas customers 2020 Overall Plenitude supplies 10 million retail and business clients (gas and electricity) in Italy and Europe. In particular, clients located all over Italy are 8.1 million.

The solid performance benefitted from the result achieved by the Power generation business, which levereged on a favourable scenario (the adjusted operating profit amounted to €270 million, more than doubled vs. 2021).
Plenitude will leverage on the synergies among those businesses to improve its profitability going forward. We plan to accelerate the development of the installed capacity to produce renewable power to reach more than 7 GW of installed capacity by the end of the plan. Our network of charging points for electric vehicles will be expanded with the objective of reaching over 30 thousand points by 2026. We plan to selectively grow our customer base, with the target to reach 11 million customers by 2026 and to boost profitability by extracting more value from the customer portfolio, by supplying an increasing share of equity renewable energy and bio-methane, as well as by expanding the offer of new products and services other than the commodity and by continuing innovation in marketing processes including the deployment of digitalization in the acquisition of new customers, a reduction in the cost to serve and effective management of working capital.


Started a new partnership with Infrastrutture SpA to develop solar and wind power projects, by acquiring a 65% stake in Hergo Renewables SpA, a company holding a portfolio of projects in Italy and Spain, with a total capacity of approximately 1.5 GW; in addition Plenitude acquired 100% of PLT (PLT Energia Srl and SEF Srl and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates), an integrated Italian group engaged in producing renewable electricity and in supplying energy to the retail segment. The acquired company includes 90,000 retail customers in Italy and a portfolio capacity of 1.6 GW. The agreement allows Plenitude to strengthen its presence in the two countries, consolidating a vertically integrated platform.


USA Plenitude, through its US subsidiary Eni New Energy US Inc., acquired the 81 MW Kellam photovoltaic plant, located in North Texas. This acquisition has been finalized in January 2023. The plant, sold by Hanwha Qcells USA Corp., joins the other assets within Texas and the rest of the United States in Plenitude's portfolio, which reaches, with this transaction, an installed capacity of 878 MW in the US market. The operation was carried out with the support of Novis Renewables, LLC, a partnership between Eni New Energy US, Inc. and Renantis North America, Inc., which is exclusive for the US and dedicated to the development of solar, wind and storage projects. The plant stands on over 150 hectares of land and the produced energy will be sold to a local power company.

NORWAY In order to strengthen the presence in the offshore wind sector and contribute to the expansion of the Norwegian joint venture Vårgrønn, Plenitude and HitecVision, in October 2022, have signed an agreement which involved the transfer to the JV of the 20% stake held by Plenitude in the Dogger Bank (UK) offshore wind projects. As a result of this transaction, HitecVision increased its stake in Vårgrønn from 30.4% to 35% through a capital injection. This operation laid the foundations for the establishment of a financially independent entity focused on the development in the offshore wind sector, expanding the existing industrial collaboration with HitecVision and accelerating its growth path.
SPAIN Plenitude in 2022 invested in innovative technological solutions, in particular in EnerOcean S.L., a Spanish developer of the W2Power technology for floating wind power. The agreement is structured as a long-term partnership focused on the deployment of the W2Power technology as a lead solution for floating wind power developments worldwide. Plenitude will contribute to the development program of EnerOcean S.L. with capital and expertise and will initially retain a 25% stake in the Company, which will continue to operate independently.


ITALY GreenIT, a joint venture with the Italian agency CDP Equity, acquired the entire portfolio of Fortore Energia Group, consisting of four onshore wind farms operating in Italy with a total capacity of 110 MW (56 MW Eni's share); furthermore the JV signed an additional agreement with the equity fund Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) to build and operate two floating offshore wind farms in Sicily and Sardinia, with an expected total capacity of approximately 750 MW. In January 2023, Plenitude signed an agreement with Simply Blue Group for the joint development of floating offshore wind projects in Italy. The first two floating offshore wind projects, "Messapia" in Apulia and "Krimisa" in Calabria, have already been submitted to the relevant authorities. The Messapia project, located about 30 km off the Otranto coast, will have a total capacity of 1.3 GW and will be able to provide annual power generation of about 3.8 TWh. The Krimisa project, located about 45 km off the coast of Crotone, will have a total capacity of 1.1 GW and will be able to provide annual energy production of up to 3.5 TWh.
The 2022 trading environment was very complex and volatile due to market imbalances in the energy sector at the start of the year, which were greatly compounded by Russia's military aggression of Ukraine in February 2022. Fears of possible disruptions in the flows of Russian hydrocarbons towards Western markets coupled with ongoing pent-up demand and lack of supply responsiveness triggered a rally in the price of crude oil and natural gas and derivatives.
While rising commodity prices were a net positive for the Company and supported the performance of the E&P business, the unprecedented level of volatility recorded in European energy markets and elsewhere posed significant financial risks to the Company, which could have negatively and significantly affected the Group performance and its financial condition absent adequate risk management activities.
The Company's performance in 2022 was very positive due to financial discipline, cost and margin optimization across all business lines, a supportive commodity price environment, management of the market risk and availability of refining capacity and natural gas supplies, as well as the Company's ability to maintain significant hydrocarbons production volumes at 1,610 kboe/d despite unplanned downtime and force majeure events and reduced levels of investing activities as a result of the cuts implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis.
The Company directed its efforts to secure the continuity of natural gas supplies to its customers and to address market needs, while Russia began reducing its natural gas exports to Europe in retaliation for economic sanctions imposed by Western countries. In a context of great uncertainty and volatility, we took several steps to lessen our dependency on Russian natural gas in agreement with Italian authorities by seeking to diversify the geographic reach of our natural gas supplies leveraging on equity reserves and long-term partnerships with producing countries, particularly those bordering the Mediterranean Sea. Overall, based on our planning projections and assumption we target to completely replace Russian supplies with supplies from other geographies by 2025.
Management of the market risks was achieved by increasing our financial headroom to cope with significantly higher cash requirements in connection with the margin calls from our commodity derivatives counterparts, by reducing part of the hedging activities, by finding alternative trading venues and finally by reducing sales commitments to account for a growing risk of unilateral disruptions in Russian supplies.
Brent prices reached almost 140 \$/bbl, in the first half of the year, the highest value recorded from 2008. The first half of 2022 recorded an average price of 108 \$/ bbl.However, in the second half the Brent price retraced to below 80 \$/bbl, driven by tightened monetary conditions, perceived risks of an imminent macroeconomic slowdown, the USD appreciation against other currencies and steady Russian supplies contrary to market expectations of a fall in Russian oil production. On annual average, the Brent price was 101 \$/bbl with an increase of 40% compared to the 2021 average of about 70 \$/bbl.
Natural gas prices experienced even greater volatility than oil prices, especially in Europe due to its dependence on pipeline supplies from Russia. Compared to the 2021 average of about 15 \$/mmBTU for the European spot reference Title Transfer Facility (TTF) which already represented a historical record, in 2022 values recorded 80-90 \$/mmBTU due to fears of shortage for the following winter season in relation to the progressive downsizing of Russian export flows via pipeline, in the context of a continuous deterioration of political relations with the EU. In the final part of 2022 and early 2023, natural gas prices, thanks to a particularly mild winter season and significant exports of LNG from the USA, corrected substantially, closing at year end at values equal to or lower than those recorded before the outbreak of the conflict and averaging 37 \$/mmBTU for the year. Refining margins were supported by a recovery in fuel demand in all sectors, including civil aviation, and substantial diesel shortages mainly due to lower supplies from Russia.
The movement of the USD vs. the Euro positively and significantly affected results of operation and cash flow in 2022, as the USD appreciated by about 10% on average year-on-year.

In 2022, Eni reported a net profit attributable to its shareholders of €13,887 million, driven by an operating profit of €17,510 million (against an operating profit of €12,341 million in 2021) and better results of investments (up by around €6,300 million) due to the capital gain recognized at the closing of the transaction involving the establishment of Azule Energy Holdings and increased results of equity-accounted entities. Those positives were partly offset by higher income taxes, which were negatively affected by the recognition of €2.4 billion of windfall taxes, including extraordinary solidarity tax contributions enacted in Italy (€2 billion) and Germany (€0.2 billion) as well as the UK Energy profit levy (€0.2 billion).

ating the underlying operating performance of our business and in comparing it with the performance of other Oil & Gas companies, because the items excluded from the calculation of such measures can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods, management's judgment, book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired, among other factors. Nevertheless, other companies may adopt different criteria in identifying underlying results and therefore our measure of adjusted operating profit (loss) and adjusted net profit (loss) may not be comparable to the adjusted measures presented by other companies. In 2022, special items included environmental and remediation provision of €2 billion, including a decommissioning provision €0.3 billion taken at a refinery line that was shut down indefinitely, impairment charges of €1.1 billion for oil & gas assets and chemicals plants, and windfall taxes on energy profits of €2.2 billion, of which €1 billion was paid in 2022. These charges were offset by a gain of €2.5 billion on the contribution of Eni's subsidiaries to a newly established venture jointly controlled with another partner, Azule Energy Holdings, a gain of €0.4 billion on the divestment of an interest in the Vår Energi associate and by the recognition of deferred taxes of €2.2 billion.
All these special items amounted to a total negative adjustment of €185 million in net profit and of €3,440 million in operating profit, including an inventory pre-tax profit of €564 million (€401 million post-tax).
The table below sets forth details of the identified gains and losses included in the net results during the period presented.

The Group adjusted operating profit of €20,386 million compared to €9,664 million in 2021, up by approximately 111% or €10.7 billion was driven by the E&P segment (up by €7.12 billion) due to a strong recovery in commodity prices that fueled significantly higher realizations on equity production. The Global Gas and LNG portfolio segment (up by €1.48 billion) benefitted from portfolio optimizations and contract renegotiations; the Refining & Marketing and Chemical segment (up by €1.78 billion) reflected the improved performance of the R&M segment reaching its best performance ever (up by €2.2 billion, compared to break even in 2021), due to plant availability and cost and output optimization allowing to capture the upside of a strong refining environment, partly offset by weaker results of the Chemical business (down by €0.45 billion), negatively affected by competitive pressures, weakening demand and higher plant expenses which were indexed to the price of natural gas. In summary the main drivers of the Group underlying improvements were:
by higher risk provisions in connection with contractual disputes;
Excluding special items and the inventory evaluation profit, adjusted net profit for 2022 was €13,301 million, a €8,971 million increase compared to 2021. The result was driven by a significantly higher operating performance and by improved results from equity accounted entities.

Net cash provided by operating activities in 2022 was €17,460 million, an increase of €4,599 million compared to 2021 (up 36%), due to a better scenario in the upstream segment and a strong contribution from the R&M business. The outflow relating to the working capital of €1,279 million was due to the change in the value of inventory holding accounted for under the weightedaverage cost method in a rising price environment, the build-up of gas inventories and invoice payments for gas supplies. The dividends received by investments mainly related to Vår Energi, Nigeria LNG, Azule Energy and ADNOC R&T.
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital at replacement cost was €20,380 million in 2022 and was net of the following items: inventory holding gains or losses relating to oil and products, the reversing timing difference between gas inventories accounted at weighted average cost and management's own measure of performance leveraging inventories to optimize margin, provisions for environmental reclamation activities and decommissioning of refinery assets, extraordinary credit losses and other charges/gains, the fair value of commodity derivatives lacking the formal criteria to be designated as hedges, the Italian windfall tax levied on energy companies for fiscal year 2022, as well as the reclassification as an operating cash flow of a reimbursement of share capital made by an associate.
Net financial borrowings before IFRS 16 decreased by €1,961 million due to the net cash provided by operating activities (approximately €17.5 billion), the reimbursement of operating financing receivable by Azule Energy (€1.3 billion), partly offset by net capex requirements (€8.2 billion), dividends payments to Eni's shareholders of (€3,009 million which comprised the 2021 final dividend for about €1.5 billion and the first and the second quarterly instalment of the 2022 dividend of €0.22 per share each, amounting to €1.5 billion), a €2,400 million share buy-back program executed in the year by repurchasing about 196 million shares, the cash outflow related to acquisitions and divestments (€2.5 billion), payments of lease liabilities for €1 billion, the payment of the coupon of perpetual subordinated hybrid bonds (€0.1 billion) and other positive changes for about €0.5 billion.

Cash outflows for capital expenditure and investments were €11,367 million, increasing by 43% from 2021 and include the acquisition of a 20% stake in the Dogger Bank C offshore wind project in the North Sea, the 100% stake in SKGR company owner of a portfolio of photovoltaic plants in Greece, renewable capacity in the United States, a 3% interest in the North Field East LNG project in Qatar, the 100% stake in PLT Energia engaged in the renewable business, the Tango FLNG floating liquefaction vessel in Congo, as well as a capital contribution to our joint venture Saipem to support a new industrial plan and a financial restructuring of the investee. These outflows were partly offset by the divestment of a stake of the joint venture Vår Energi (€0.5 billion) and an equity contribution by an investor in Eni's subsidiaries operating in the natural gas-fired power generation with recognition of a non-controlling interest (€0.5 billion).

Leverage is a measure used by management to assess the Company's level of indebtedness. It is calculated as a ratio of net borrowings which is calculated by excluding cash and cash €8,056 million (€5,234 million in 2021), increasing by 54% and mainly related to:
As of December 31, 2022, fixed assets of €81,041 million, increased by €6,790 million from December 31, 2021, due to the exchange rate translation differences (the period-end exchange rate of EUR vs. USD was 1.067, down 6% compared to 1.133 as of December 31, 2021), acquisitions, expenditures and the entry into service of the FPSO vessel operating Area 1 in Mexico, partly offset by the net effect of the contribution of Angolan subsidiaries in exchange for 50% equity interest in Azule Energy and DD&A, impairment charges and write-offs recorded in the year.
Shareholders' equity (€55,230 million) increased by €10,711 million compared to December 31, 2021, due to the net profit for the year (€13,961 million), positive foreign currency translation differences (€1,095 million) reflecting the appreciation of the US dollar vs. the Euro, the positive change in the cash flow hedge reserve of €794 million, partly offset by dividend payments and the share buyback (€5,422 million).
equivalents and certain very liquid assets from financial debt to shareholders' equity, including non-controlling interest. Management periodically reviews leverage in order to assess the soundness and efficiency of the Group balance sheet in terms of optimal mix between net borrowings and net equity, and to carry out benchmark analysis with industry standards.

As of December 31, 2022, net borrowings were €11,977 million decreasing by €2,347 million from 2021.
Total finance debt of €26,917 million consisted of €7,543 million of short-term debt (including the portion of long-term debt due within twelve months of €3,097 million) and €19,374 million of long-term debt. The decrease in financing receivables held for non-operating purposes was due to the operations in commodity derivates. The amount of €1,266 million is connected to the financial deposits to secure the derivatives transactions, mainly related to the Global Gas & LNG Portfolio segment. When excluding the lease liabilities, net borrowings were re-determined at €7,026 million reducing by €1,961 million from 2021.
Leverage – the ratio of the borrowings to total equity – was 0.13 at December 31, 2022. The impact of the liability pertaining to joint operators in Eni-led unincorporated joint ventures weighted on leverage for 1 point. Including the impact of IFRS 16 altogether, leverage would be 0.22.

The Eni's Remuneration Policy is approved by the Board, acting on a proposal of the Remuneration Committee, and is examined by the Shareholders' Meeting, which is called to express a binding vote on the matter with the frequency required by the duration of the Policy, and in any case at least every three years or in the event of changes. The Board of Directors ensures that the remuneration paid and accrued is consistent with the principles and criteria defined in the Policy, in light of the results achieved and other circumstances relevant to its implementation (Principle XVII of the Governance Code).
The Remuneration Policy contributes to pursuing the Company's strategies, with incentive structures tied to financial, business, environmental and social sustainability, energy transition goals, as well as operational and individual development objectives, with a view to the achievement of long-term business performance, taking account of the interests of all stakeholders. The Remuneration Policy is also consistent with the governance model adopted by the Company and the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code, in particular providing that the remuneration of Directors, members of the Board of Statutory Auditors, General Managers and Managers with strategic responsibilities is functional to the pursuit of the sustainable success of the Company and reflects the need to have, retain and motivate people whit the skills and professionalism deemed suitable for the role assigned (Principle XV of the Governance Code).
Eni's Remuneration Policy contributes to achieving the Company's mission, towards:
• promoting actions and behaviours reflecting the Company's values and culture, consistent with the principles of plurality, equal opportunity, enhancement of individuals' knowledge and skills, fairness, integrity and non-discrimination, as described in the Code of Ethics and Eni Policy "Our people" in line with the objectives of the United Nations and according to the principle of "equal pay for equal work";
• recognising roles and responsibilities, results, and the quality of professional contribution, with fair references based on the role and able to support a decent standard of living, higher than the legal or contractual minimums in force, as well as the minimum wages of local markets.
The Remuneration Policy supports the achievement of the goals set in the Company's Strategic Plan by promoting, through a balanced use of performance measures in the short and long-term incentive systems, the alignment of senior management's interests with the priority of creating sustainable value for shareholders over the medium-to-long-term.
The 2023-2025 Long-Term Share-based Incentive Plan supports the Strategic Plan guidelines by providing a specific environmental sustainability and energy transition goal, made up of targets related to decarbonization, energy transition and circular economy.

The Short Term Incentive Plan provides for a structure of annual targets distributed across four clusters of equal weighting, consistent with the guidelines defined in the Strategic Plan and balanced against the interests of the various stakeholders.
In the Policy clusters, the Remuneration Committee proposes annually to the Board, the adoption of performance targets and parameters consistent with developments in company strategy from the perspective of medium/long-term sustainability. The value of each target is in line with the budgeted figure. The 2023 annual targets approved by the BoD on March 16, 2023 at the proposal of the Remuneration Committee, in the context of the defined policy clusters, are shown in the table above.
