Eni's Board of Directors, chaired by Lucia Calvosa, yesterday approved the unaudited consolidated results for the third quarter and the nine months of 2021 (not subject to audit). Eni CEO Claudio Descalzi said:

"The excellent results this quarter demonstrate our continued strong economic and financial performance. Upstream production has recovered from maintenance and grown by 6% to 1.69 million boe/d in line with guidance. Eni also strengthened its leading position in exploration and in the model of valorizing and developing discovered resources. The company is fast tracking execution of the Baleine Prospect in Ivory Coast to supply gas to the domestic market – designing for the first time an upstream project with net zero operational emissions since the beginning. In the Gas and LNG business, we have optimized our portfolio and have been progressing important negotiations with a significant expected contribution to our full year results. Thanks to the performance of all our businesses, in the third quarter we've generated a €2.5 billion adjusted Ebit and a €1.4 billion adjusted net profit amongst the highest of recent years. Furthermore, in the first nine months of this year, strong cash generation and the careful management of costs has created over €4 billion of free cash flow, which more than covers the overall 2021 dividend and buyback. In an increasingly solid business context, we are accelerating our transition plan: the listing of our Retail & Renewables company will allow us to generate further value from a unique business model, which is essential for decarbonising the consumption of our retail customers. We also continue to invest to progress the UK HyNet CCS project, which is competing to obtain funds from the UK Government. Our long‐term range of options has been further enhanced with the success of the magnetic fusion test which could lead to a disruptive technological evolution for future power generation. Eni will remain focused on capital discipline to reduce our cash neutrality, the rapid deployment of new technologies to speed up the execution of our decarbonization plans and, on the acceleration in establishing dedicated business vehicles as a key strategic element to focus our growth and to highlight the full value of our portfolio. "

Highlights

DECARBONISATION STRATEGY

Eni has begun the process of launching the Initial Public Offering to list the shares of its newly-formed businesses, comprising EGL, retail, renewable energy production and EV charging points divisions (named conventionally as "ENI R&R"). Eni plans to complete the transaction during 2022 (further information on this transaction, including the name of the new company, will be made public during the capital markets day, scheduled on November 22, 2021). This transaction aims to unlock the value of this asset by giving greater visibility to its unique competitive advantages, in line with the Company's strategy to deliver value through the energy transition and the achievement of net zero emissions.
A major milestone was reached by CFS1, of which Eni is the largest shareholder, in its research on magnetic confinement fusion, which promises to be a game changer for decarbonisation technologies, making it possible to potentially produce large amounts of virtually infinite energy in a safe and sustainable manner, with no resulting GHG emissions.
Signed agreements with governmental agencies and state-owned oil companies in the Republic of Congo, Angola, Kenya and Benin for the joint development of circular economy and decarbonisation projects, aimed at developing crops not in competition with the food supply-chain at an industrial scale to supply Eni's bio-refineries.
Eni has launched its first Energy Compact, a public commitment recognized by the United Nations, to accelerate progress towards Sustainable Development Goal No. 7 relating to accessible and clean energy and the targets of the Paris Agreement. Eni has thereby taken on a leading role in contributing to global climate targets, in line with the company's strategic commitment to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
Eni scored among the ten best companies of the newly launched ESG MIB index of Euronext, with the company's leadership also recognized in the main ESG ratings and specialized indexes (MSCI, Sustainalytics, V.E, FTSE4Good Developed Index), obtaining Prime Status index from the ISS ESG rating. Excellent results also in climate-focused ratings (Climate Action 100+ Net Zero Benchmark, Carbon Tracker, Transition Pathway Initiative).

Q3 AND NINE MONTHS 2021 RESULTS

Macroeconomic growth, the normalization of global stocks, the production management of the OPEC+ alliance, withheld capital spending by international O&G companies, and finally a disruption to production in the Gulf of Mexico caused by Hurricane Ida drove up the price of crude oil in the third quarter with the Brent crude oil benchmark averaging 73.5 \$/bbl in Q3; up by 7% vs. Q2 2021.
Natural gas prices in Europe reached all-time highs: Q3 prices averaged approximately 500 €/kcm for the main benchmarks: TTF (Northern European hub) and PSV (Italian spot market) with increases respectively of +500% and +400% vs. the same period of the previous year, while almost doubling compared to Q2 2021, due to an increasingly tight market due to lower global supplies, lower storage levels than historical averages at the peak of the injection season and strong demand led by the economic recovery. On the negative side, the PSV-TTF spread continued to decline, plunging into negative territory in Q3 for the first time in history to -9 €/kcm, down from +1 €/kcm in the Q2 2021 and from +10 €/kcm in the same quarter 2020.
Chemical margins have slowed down from the record values of the last quarter, in particular the polyethylene spread at approximately 450 €/tonnes on average in Q3 almost halved compared to Q2 2021; elastomer and styrene spreads were still at high levels, although remained lower than the previous quarter.
The refining scenario in the European/Mediterranean region remained depressed with the Eni benchmark margin SERM down to historic lows (-0.4 \$/bbl on average in the quarter, in line with the previous) due to the strong increase of Brent prices, oversupplies of medium distillates and high cost of gas.

¹ Commonwealth Fusion Systems, spin-out company of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

Group adjusted EBIT: €2.49 bln in the Q3 2021, up by 22% vs. Q2 2021 (€5.86 bln in the nine months 2021, an increase of €4.4 bln, +315% vs the nine months 2020). The quarterly Group result was driven by the positive performance of all Eni's businesses:
E&P: EBIT of €2.44 bln, up by 33% vs. Q2 2021 (+375% vs. the same period of 2020) due to a strengthening price scenario and a 6% increase in production to 1.69 mln boe/d. In the nine months 2021, EBIT was €5.66 bln (+660% vs. nine months 2020) mainly due to the ability to fully capture the upside in hydrocarbon prices;
EGL, Power & Renewables business: EBIT at €64 mln, declining when compared to the Q2 2021 due to seasonal factors; up by 12% from the same period of 2020. In the nine months 2021, EBIT amounted to €374 mln, up by 12% compared to the nine months 2020;
R&M: positive EBIT of €161 mln compared to a loss of €12 mln in Q2 2021 (+€87 mln compared to the Q3 2020) thanks to higher throughputs and volumes sold through the retail stations' network benefitting from the economic recovery as well as seasonal factors due to the driving season. In the nine months 2021, the performance was affected by a weak refining scenario and higher costs for CO2 emission allowances with an EBIT lower by €304 mln compared to the nine months 2020;
Chemicals: EBIT of €25 mln, declining by €177 mln compared to the Q2 2021 (+€78 mln vs. the same period 2020) due to a normalization in products margins and a catch up in maintenance activity that was delayed to capture the upside of the strong Q2 market. In the nine months 2021, EBIT amounted to €266 mln (a loss of €184 mln in the nine months 2020) reflecting the turnaround driven by the post-pandemic recovery, temporary products shortages and greater plant utilization rates;
GGP: EBIT of €50 mln, more than doubled compared to the Q2 2021. The positive performance in the quarter leveraged on capturing the spike in spot prices, which enabled to optimize the portfolio more than offsetting the negative PSV – TTF spread. The comparison with the corresponding reporting periods of 2020 (EBIT was -22% vs. Q3 2020; €44 mln in the nine months of 2021 compared to over €400 mln in 2020) has been affected by trends in gas prices spreads, significant one-off positive effects accounted for in 2020 from portfolio optimizations and contractual renegotiations.
Adjusted net profit: €1.43 bln in Q3 2021 with an increase of 54% vs. Q2 2021 due to the ability to catch market scenario and production growth. In comparison to the corresponding 2020 reporting periods, impacted by the COVID pandemic, it saw a material recovery: up by €1.6 bln and €3.4 bln respectively vs. Q3 and the nine months 2020 due to a better operating performance, improved results of equity accounted investments and a normalized Group tax rate (50% in the nine months of 2021) due to a lowered tax rate in the E&P segment due to a broad-based recovery in taxable profit and a better profitability outlook of the green activities in Italy.
Cash flow from operations before changes in working capital at replacement cost: €3.3 bln in the Q3 2021, enough to fund net capex of €1.1 bln. In the nine months of 2021, the Group generated €8.1 bln of cash flow, which after funding €4 bln of net capex left a free cash flow of over €4 bln.
Portfolio: net investment of about €2.2 bln in the nine months 2021, including net borrowings of acquired entities, fully deployed to accelerate growth in the renewables and low-carbon businesses.
Net borrowings ante IFRS 16: €11.3 bln, down by €0.3 bln vs. December 31, 2020. Leverage lowered to 0.28 (vs. 0.31 as of December 31, 2020).
Paid the 2021 interim dividend in September amounting to €0.43 per share, equal to 50% of the 2021 dividend, with a cash out of €1.5 bln.
Buy-back: started the €400 mln buy-back program at the end of August; as of October 22, 2021, 17.63 mln shares were purchased at a cost of €197 mln.

Outlook 2021

FY 2021 cash flow from operations before changes in working capital at replacement cost expected to grow to approximately €12 bln under assumption of a Brent scenario of 70 \$/bbl and a SERM benchmark refining margin slightly in negative territory.
Reaffirmed the guidance for hydrocarbon production at almost 1.7 mln boe/d for the FY 2021. Q4 hydrocarbon production expected at 1.76 mln boe/d.
Upgraded the target of new exploration resources to 700 mln boe in 2021, mainly due to the significant discovery in Ivory Coast (previously guided 500 mln boe).
Renewable installed capacity expected to reach 1.2 GW at year end (2 GW including capacity under construction), much higher than the initial target for 2021.
GGP: expected to exceed €500 mln of adjusted EBIT and €300 mln of free cash flow thanks to continuing portfolio optimization in this favorable market scenario and to expected one off contribution from the conclusion of contract renegotiations underpinning the alignment with current and future gas market conditions. This guidance could be possibly revised upward under sustained volatile and tight market conditions.
Eni gas e luce & Renewables: adjusted EBIT confirmed at €350 mln; pro-froma adjusted EBITDA confirmed at €600 mln.
Downstream: pro-forma adjusted EBIT at about €200 million, which is expected to be negatively affected by a deteriorated margin environment driven by higher feedstock and utilities costs. This guidance could be revised downward under current market conditions.
2021 organic capex confirmed at approximately €6 bln, of which approximately €4.5 bln in the E&P segment.
Leverage expected at around 0.28.

Business overview

Exploration & Production

Q3 Hydrocarbon production: 1.69 million boe/d, up by 1.2% net of price effects compared to the same period of 2020 and up by 6% vs. Q2 2021 (1.66 million boe/d in the nine months of 2021; down by 4%).

Growth was fueled by continuing production ramp-up at the giant Zohr and Merakes gas fields respectively in Egypt and Indonesia, with the latter achieving first gas the last April.

In the nine months of 2021, production fell compared to the nine months 2020 due to greater maintenance activity (in Norway, Italy and the UK), lower activity in Nigeria and mature fields decline.

Start-ups and ramp-ups added 64 kboe/d (on average in the nine months) mainly due to Merakes in Indonesia, Berkine in Algeria, the Mahani gas project in the Sharjah Emirate (UAE), as well as the tiein of satellite discoveries Cuica and Cabaca North in the 15/06 Block, offshore Angola.

The infrastructure-led exploration (ILX) campaign with short time-to-market has successfully progressed at Block 15/06 in Angola (Eni operator w.i. 36.84%), with the start-up in September of the Cabaca North satellite discovery following the one of Cuica in July, so to extend the production plateau and the residual useful life of the FPSO "Armada Olombendo" which operates the Block.

In the nine months 2021, over 600 mmboe of explorative resources were discovered as part of an exploration strategy soundly balanced between near-field/ILX activities and selected initiatives in high-risk/high-rewards plays.

Main discoveries of the third quarter 2021:

‐ an offshore oil discovery in Mexico in the prospect Sayulita in the operated Block 10 (Eni 65%) where the Saasken discovery was made in 2020. The new well identified 150-200 million barrels of oil in place that have boosted the commerciality prospects of the area;

‐ an oil discovery offshore Ghana in the Eban prospect in the operated Block CTP 4 (Eni 42.5%), close to the production hub of Sankofa;
‐ a discovery offshore Ivory Coast in the prospect Baleine in the operated Block CI-101 (Eni 90%), which identified an estimated potential between 1.5 and 2 billion barrels of oil in place and between 1.8 and 2.4 trillion cubic feet (TCF) of associated gas.
In the nine months, Eni renewed the exploration portfolio with the addition of approximately 13,000 square kilometers of new leases in Angola, the UAE, Vietnam, the UK, Norway and Ivory Coast.
As part of the Memorandum of Understanding for the development of the Gela area in Sicily, started the construction of the treatment plant for the gas that will be extracted from the Argo and Cassiopea fields, with investments of over €700 million. The completion is expected in the next three years with first gas in the first half of 2024.

Portfolio rationalization:

‐ Angola: activities have been progressing with BP to combine the respective upstream portfolios in the country, establishing a jointly controlled venture based on the Vår Energi business model.

Decarbonisation initiatives:

‐ In line with the strategy of energy transition:
o in Egypt, Eni signed an agreement with the state energy and gas companies to assess the economic feasibility of green and blue hydrogen production, in synergy with the storage of CO2 in depleted natural gas fields;
o signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Mubadala Petroleum, aimed at identifying cooperation opportunities in the energy transition, including development of hydrogen and CO2 capture, utilization and storage;
o signed MoU with the governments and competent authorities of the Republic of Congo, Angola, Kenya and Benin for the joint development of circular economy and decarbonisation projects, relating in particular to cultivations on an industrial scale not in competition with the agri-food chain to provide feedstock to Eni's biorefineries.
‐ As part of the HyNet North West project for the construction of a CO2 capture/storage hub in the UK, Eni signed a framework agreement with the partner Progressive Energy Limited to accelerate the project, where Eni will develop and manage the transport and storage of CO2 at the semi-depleted oilfields in the Liverpool Bay area. In October, the submission of the HyNet Consortium Cluster to the Cluster Sequencing process for CCS was accepted as a Track 1 project in the phase one bid held by the UK government, which will pave the way to a possible start-up of the project in 2025.
‐ Signed a memorandum of understanding with Uniper in the United Kingdom to evaluate decarbonisation initiatives in Wales with the option of utilizing depleted Eni oilfields in the Liverpool Bay to convert them to CO2 storage hubs.

Global Gas & LNG Portfolio

Signed an agreement with CPC Corporation, a Taiwan utility company, for the delivery of a carbon neutral LNG cargo, certified according to internationally recognized standards. The LNG will be sourced from the Bontang liquefaction terminal in Indonesia, feed with the gas produced by Eni's Jangkrik field.

Refining & Marketing and Chemicals

In the third quarter of 2021, the volumes of palm oil supplied to the production of bio-diesel was reduced by approximately 50 percentage points compared to third quarter 2020 (down by 29 percentage points in the nine months of 2021), leveraging on the start-up of a new Biomass Treatment Unit (BTU) at the Gela bio-refinery enabling the use of up to 100% of biomass not in competition with the food chain for the production of biofuels.

Signed a strategic agreement with Aeroporti di Roma (ADR) to promote decarbonisation initiatives in the airline sector and to accelerate the green transition of airports. This agreement foresees the introduction of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) and for ground handling fuelled with HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) over the coming months.
Started in October the production of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) with the aim of contributing to the decarbonisation of the airline sector in the short-to-medium term. Eni SAF are produced exclusively from scraps and residues, in line with the strategic decision to phase-out the palm oil from 2023.
Signed a joint cooperation and licensing agreement with Chevron Lummus Global covering the two partners' respective portfolio of refining hydrocracking technologies, with the object of delivering to refiners all over the world a broad range of conversion options, including the complete conversion of the residual fraction into valuable distillate products.
Agreement with BASF for the development of a new technology for the production of biopropanol from glycerin, a side stream of the production of industrial biodiesel (FAME - fatty acid methil esters). Propanol obtained via this innovative method can be easily added as a drop-in bio-fuel component to gasoline.
As part of Eni's strategy to grow sustainable mobility, an agreement was signed to offer battery swapping at Eni service stations for the XEV YOYO electric city cars. The agreement also provides that from 2022 zero-emission XEV YOYO city cars will become part of the Enjoy car sharing fleet. The new vehicle was officially presented in October at Rom-E, a festival dedicated to eco-sustainability, new energy sources and smart mobility.
Signed an agreement with the Municipality of Taranto and the Kyma group for the development of initiatives to optimize waste management leveraging Eni's technologies and of integrated solutions for the sustainable mobility, such as the use of biofuels and biomethane for the Kyma fleet and the installation of electric charging columns for public transport vehicles.
Versalis has acquired the technology and plants of Ecoplastic, an Italian company specializing in the recycling of styrenic polymers, with a view of fastening developments in advanced mechanical recycling and expand the portfolio of the Versalis Revive® range of recycled polymers. The agreement is a first step for the start of the revamping project of the Porto Marghera plant, which provides by the next year the installation of plants to produce styrenic polymers obtained entirely from recycling used materials. The overall capacity of this first phase will be around 20,000 tonnes/year.
Finalized the acquisition of the entire share capital of Finproject by Versalis which exercised the call option to buy the remaining 60% of the share capital, following the initial acquisition of a 40% participating interest in 2020. The acquisition is complementary to the Versalis specialties portfolio and aims to create an all-Italian leading platform, with high-performance formulated polymer applications and compounding, less subject to commodity fluctuations.

Eni gas e luce, Power & Renewables

Growth of the retail/business portfolio to 9.97 million of PoD, up by approximately 270,000 PoD compared to December 31, 2020 (up by 3%) leveraging the growth in Greece and the acquisition of 100% of Aldro Energía, engaged in the retail market in Spain and Portugal.
Strong acceleration in the build-up of the capacity of generation from renewable sources leveraging on targeted tuck-in acquisitions that can be quickly integrated into the Eni portfolio:
o In Italy finalized the acquisition by Glennmont Partners and PGGM Infrastructure Fund of a portfolio of thirteen onshore wind facilities already in operation, with a total capacity of 315 MW.
o In Spain finalized in October the acquisition from Azora Capital of a portfolio of nine renewable energy projects consisting of three wind facilities in operation and one under construction for a total of 234 MW and five photovoltaic projects at an advanced stage of development for about 0.9 GW.
o Finalized in October the acquisition of Dhamma Energy Group, owner of a pipeline of

In the third quarter of 2021, hydrocarbon production averaged 1.69 million boe/d (1.66 million boe/d in the nine months 2021). Net of price effects, production increased by 1.2% from the third quarter 2020; the sequential performance was more significant with a growth of 6% when compared to the second quarter of 2021. The increase was driven by a robust performance in Egypt and Indonesia due to the continuing production ramp-up at the flagship projects of Zohr and Merakes in a context of strong global demand for gas and LNG and also thanks to the restart of the Damietta liquefaction plant, as well as to the progressive easing of OPEC+ production quotas with the easing of production caps (in particular in Kazakhstan and Angola). When compared the third quarter 2021 performance with the same quarter of the previous year, these increases more than offset the negative effects due to prolonged maintenance activities in Norway, Italy and the UK, lower activity in Nigeria and mature field declines. In the nine months these negative factors had a greater weight, resulting in a decline of about 4% (net of price effect).
Oil production was 805 kbbl/d, down by 1% from the same quarter of the previous year (799 kbbl/d in the nine months, down by 6% compared to the nine months 2020). This reduction was due to higher maintenance activity, price effect, the decline in Nigeria and in mature fields as well as the impact of hurricane Ida in the GoM, partially offset by production growth in Egypt.
Natural gas production was 4,688 mmcf/d in the quarter, in line with the same period of 2020 (4,584 mmcf/d in the nine months, down by 2%). The ramp-up at Zohr (Egypt) and Merakes (Indonesia) boosted by strong global demand was offset by the impacts of natural declines and lower activity in Nigeria.

In the third quarter of 2021, the recovery in the profitability of the Exploration & Production has gained momentum with an adjusted operating profit of €2,444 million, a 33% increase from the second quarter of 2021 (compared to the year-ago quarter impacted by pandemic crisis, the result increased by 375%). The increase was supported by the ongoing recovery of the oil scenario with the reference Brent price increasing by 7% (up by 71% compared to the third quarter 2020), while a tight gas market drove materially higher spot prices, up by 86% vs. the second quarter 2021 and 439% vs. the same period of 2020. Against this backdrop, Eni's realized prices of liquids increased by 7%, whereas natural gas realized prices increased by 40% compared to the second quarter of 2021, (up by 73% and 102% when comparing with the third quarter of 2020). Higher production volumes (up by 6% from 2Q 2021) also contributed positively to the quarterly performance. On the negative side, the result was impacted by higher write-offs of unsuccessful exploration wells. In the nine months of 2021, the adjusted operating profit was €5,663 million, an increase of €4.9 billion compared to the same period of 2020 (up by 660%) due to materially higher realized prices (up by 78% and 48% vs. nine months of 2020 for liquids and gas, respectively) and lower exploration costs relating to unsuccessful wells, partly offset by lower production volumes.

The segment reported an adjusted net profit of €1,513 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared to a profit of €69 million in the same period of the previous year (up by €1.4 billion; up by €3.8 billion in the nine months) due to a recovery in operating profit and better results of the Vår Energi JV (up by €84 million and €219 million in the third quarter and the nine months, respectively). The adjusted net profit benefitted from an improved scenario that drove a reduction in the tax rate due to a more favorable geographic mix of profits (in terms of reducing share of taxable income in Countries with a higher tax rate), as well as to the circumstance that the 2020 reporting period was affected by a number of drivers leading to tax dis-optimizations.

(*) Data include intercompany sales.

In the third quarter of 2021, natural gas sales of 17.14 bcm increased by 7% compared to the same period of 2020, due to the higher gas volumes marketed outside Italy (Turkey and France) driven by the reopening of the economies and by higher volumes of LNG sold mainly by the Damietta liquefaction plant. In the nine months of 2021, natural gas sales were 51.57 bcm, up by 11%, due to the same drivers disclosed in the quarterly review.

In the third quarter of 2021, the Global Gas & LNG Portfolio segment reported an adjusted operating profit of €50 million, more than doubled compared to the second quarter of 2021. The positive performance in the quarter leveraged on capturing the spike in spot prices, which enabled to optimize the portfolio more than offsetting the negative PSV – TTF spread as well as on the growth of the LNG volumes, thanks to the higher volume availability in Egypt, following the restart of Damietta plant and in Indonesia. Instead, the performance vs. last-year comparative periods was negatively affected (down by 22% vs. the third quarter of 2020, while in the nine months 2021, profit of €44 million was a significant decline from the over €400 million earned in the nine months 2020) by narrowing spreads of PSV vs. TTF spot prices and by the circumstance that the year-ago reporting periods benefitted from gas portfolio optimizations and other one-off revenues.

Refining & Marketing and Chemicals

In the third quarter of 2021, the Standard Eni Refining Margin has continued on the declining trend that has lasted for about a year with the average of the period remaining in negative territory at minus 0.4 \$/bbl, in line with previous quarters and sharply down from +0.7 \$/bbl reported in the comparison period. The already weak trend has experienced a further bearish acceleration since the end of September with unprecedented negative values due to high spot prices for gas to which refinery throughputs and utilities are indexed, in addition to the pre-existing weak fundamentals due to rising costs of the oil feedstock supported by OPEC+ production management and the weakness of some end markets that have negatively affected spreads of products in particular jet fuel and diesel due to oversupply. On the positive side, widening spreads of sour crudes vs. the light Brent benchmark (-2.4 \$/bbl Ural vs. Brent compared to +0.4 \$/bbl recorded in the quarter of 2020) helped refining margins.
In the third quarter of 2021, throughputs on own account at Eni's refineries in Italy were 4.53 mmtonnes, 23% higher than the third quarter 2020 (up by 14% vs. the nine months of 2020) in response to a lower impact of the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the third quarter 2020 which was negatively affected by the partial lockdown of the economy, partly offset by a depressed refining scenario. Throughputs elsewhere increased at the ADNOC plants, where, in the year-ago quarter, the performance was negatively affected by a prolonged plant standstill.
In the third quarter of 2021, bio throughputs were 163 ktonnes, up by 8% compared to the same period of 2020, due to higher volumes processed at Gela biorefinery. In the nine months of 2021, bio throughputs were 472 ktonnes, down by 10% from the same period of the previous year against the backdrop of a depressed trading environment.
In the third quarter of 2021, retail sales in Italy were 1.45 mmtonnes, up by 3% y-o-y due to the restart of economic activities and travel. In the nine months retail sales amounted to 3.76 mmtonnes, up by 10%; an increase that reflects the fact that 2020 was impacted by the lockdown measures during the pandemic. The market share in the third quarter 2021 was 22.3% (23% in the third quarter 2020).
In the third quarter of 2021, wholesale sales in Italy were 1.70 mmtonnes, up by 8% compared to the same period of 2020 (4.45 mmtonnes in the nine months; up by 5%), driven by higher sales in the jet fuel segment following the partial resumption of the aviation sector.
Sales of petrochemical products were 1.03 mmtonnes in the third quarter, decreasing by 7% compared to the same period of 2020, due to lower product availability for planned maintenance standstills, mainly in the styrenics (down by 14%) and the intermediates (down by 8%) businesses. In the nine months the business reported higher sales volumes (3.35 mmtonnes, up by 11% vs. the nine months of 2020) due to the macroeconomic recovery, the rebound in product demand in key segments such as the automotive, packaging and durable goods sectors. Furthermore, the increase in the nine months was driven by higher plant availability also benefitting from the rescheduling of the multi-year maintenance program, rebound in product demand and lower imports from the USA and the Middle East which were also due to temporary products shortage.
Petrochemical product margins improved significantly in the downstream lines driven by macroeconomic recovery, which mitigated competitive pressure, and contingent factors due to temporary supply shortages during the first half of the year. The exceptionally strong products spread vs feedstocks recorded in the second quarter 2021 moderated in the third quarter as plants affected by contingent issues returned to normal activity (approximately 450 €/tonnes, down by 40% vs. second quarter 2021). Styrenics/elastomers also reported improved margins due to higher demand. Cracker margins declined in the nine months due to higher oil-based feedstock costs (Virgin Naphtha).

In the third quarter of 2021, the Refining & Marketing business reported an adjusted operating profit of €161 million, which more than doubled compared to the third quarter 2020 and representing a sharp recovery from the loss of €12 million reported in the second quarter of 2021 due to higher volumes processed by refineries (up by 19%) as well as plant optimizations, and higher retail sales benefitting from the reopening of the economy and increased mobility, including the positive effect of the driving season. These positives more than offset the depressed refining scenario (both traditional and bio) as well as higher marketing expenses to support promotional campaigns and higher incentives to operators of Eni service stations. In the nine months 2021, the business reported a loss of €10 million due to a material decline in refining margins and higher expenses for the purchase of emission allowances partly offset by a recovery in volumes, compared to an adjusted operating profit of €294 million supported by positive refining margins in the nine months 2020.
When compared with 2020, the Chemical business, managed by Versalis, reported a strong improvement (up by €78 million vs. the third quarter of 2020 and up by €450 million vs. nine months of 2020) due to a global economic recovery that supported demands and margins of plastic commodities softening competitive pressure. This was also driven by higher plant availability as well as certain contingent issues reducing imports from non-EU countries leading product shortages in the area, enabling the business to capture market opportunities. In addition, the green chemicals business reported growth. The comparison with the second quarter 2021 shows a certain margin normalization, in particular polyethylene, which benefited from extraordinary market conditions, resulting in a sequential reduction of the adjusted operating profit of approximately 90%, and was also affected by a rescheduling of the multi-year maintenance program from the second quarter to the third one.

Retail gas sales amounted to 0.63 bcm in the third quarter of 2021, down by 6% compared to the same period of 2020. In the nine months of 2021, retail gas sales were 5.23 bcm, increasing by 1% as a result of the lower impact of COVID-19 and the contribution from the acquisition of Aldro Energía.
Retail power sales to end customers were 4.22 TWh in the third quarter of 2021, increasing by 38%, benefitting from the aforementioned acquisition of Aldro Energía as well as the growth of activities in Italy and abroad (11.77 TWh in the nine months of 2021, up by 30%).
Energy production from renewable sources amounted to 249 GWh in the third quarter of 2021, more than double the same period of 2020 (507 GWh in the nine months of 2021; doubled vs. the comparative period) mainly due to the entry into production of new plants in Italy and in the U.S..
As of September 30, 2021, the installed capacity from renewables was 834 MW.
Power sales in the open market were 7.82 TWh in the third quarter of 2021, increasing by 18% from the comparative period (20.79 TWh in the nine months of 2021, up by 11% compared to the same period of 2020) due to higher volumes marketed to power exchange.

Results

In the third quarter of 2021, the Eni gas e luce & Renewables business reported an adjusted operating profit of €30 million, which remained substantially unchanged from the same period of 2020. In the nine months the profit amounted to €277 million with an increase of 33%. Performance was supported by gains in the extra-commodity business, as well as benefits from the integration of the distributed photovoltaic business (Evolvere), marketing initiatives in Italy, a growth in customer base following expansion in Greece, the acquisition of Aldro Energía in Spain, and lower than expected credit losses, following an improved economic cycle.
The power generation business from gas-fired plants reported an adjusted operating profit of €34 million, up by 55% vs. the third quarter of 2020 due to higher dispatching margins and lower expenses. In the nine months of 2021, the result was a profit of €97 million, down by 22% and was driven by an unfavorable trading environment and lower one-off effects.

Adjusted results

In the third quarter of 2021, the Group reported an adjusted operating profit of €2,492 million, a 22% increase compared to the second quarter of 2021 (up by €447 million) due to strengthening hydrocarbon prices, supported by better fundamentals and a tight natural gas market which drove material increases in the price of natural gas across all geographies. These positive trends coupled with growth in oil and gas production boosted the E&P performance (up by €603 million compared to the second quarter 2021, or 33%). The Group result for the quarter was also supported by a recovery in the mid-downstream businesses which were negatively affected in the previous quarter by an unfavorable scenario, with the R&M business returning to a positive result (€161 million compared to a loss of €12 million in the second quarter) and the GGP business more than doubling the performance at €50 million (up by €26 million vs. the second quarter 2021). The EGL, Power & Renewables segment continued to report steady results (profit of €64 million). The Chemical business also performed well albeit at a slower pace than the previous quarters due to a normalizing margin environment following the extraordinary margin trends reported in the second quarter 2021. The Group performance increased more than 300% compared to the third quarter and nine months 2020 due to a strong recovery in commodity prices driven by completely different market conditions which turned to balanced/undersupply compared to oversupplied markets a year ago, due to the reopening of the economies hit by the pandemic and a strong macroeconomic cycle which drove hydrocarbons demands and material stock draws. These trends resulted in robust price increases for all energy commodities (Brent price of 68 \$/bbl on average up by approximately 70% y-o-y; the Italian reference spot price "PSV" of natural gas was up by 224 €/kcm, or 235%). All in all, the increasing performance reported by the Group (up by €2 billion in the quarter; €4.4 billion in nine months) was due to a strong commodity scenario.
Adjusted net result was back at pre-COVID levels with €1,431 million in the third quarter 2021, a noticeable improvement compared to the loss incurred in third quarter 2020 of €153 million due to an improved operating profit and higher results at equity-accounted JVs and associates (in particular the positive performance of the JV Vår Energi up by €84 million and of the ADNOC R&GT associate up by €81 million). In the nine months of 2021 adjusted net profit was €2,630 million, compared to a loss of €808 million in the nine months of 2020; the improvement was helped also by a better consolidated tax rate.
Review of the Group's tax rate: in the nine months of 2021 the consolidated tax rate was 50% in line with Group historical averages. The main driver of this trend was the normalization of the E&P tax

rate, which was driven by a better geographical mix of profits on the back of the strengthened scenario, which lowered the relative weight of jurisdictions characterized by higher tax rates, like Libya, Egypt, Algeria and the UAE, as well as the fact that the 2020 reporting period was affected by a number of tax dis-optimizations resulting in a particularly high tax rate. Furthermore, an improved profitability outlook of Italian green activities, mainly EGL & Renewables, allowed for the recognition of deferred tax assets against the fiscal losses incurred in the reporting period by Italian subsidiaries.

Special items

The breakdown of special items recorded in operating profit by segment (a net loss of €323 million in the nine months 2021, nil in the third quarter 2021) is as follows:

E&P: in the third quarter special charges of €110 million were recorded, mainly relating to a provision against a probable settlement of a commercial dispute. The nine-month period included net gains of €337 million relating to the reversals of previously recognized impairment losses for €373 million, which related to gas fields in Italy and fields in Turkmenistan, Libya, Algeria, Nigeria, Timor Leste and the USA driven by an improved hydrocarbon pricing environment. Gains were also recorded in relation to the disposal of a non-strategic asset in Nigeria (€75 million) and the reinstatement of a previously writtenoff receivable due by a state-controlled partner in connection with the underlifting of volumes of crude oil. The main losses were attributable to risk provisions as well as the write-off of exploration projects due to a complex geopolitical and environmental context;
GGP: net charges of €2,009 million (€1,775 million in the third quarter) mainly included the accounting effect of certain fair-valued commodity derivatives lacking the formal criteria to be classified as hedges or to be elected under the own use exemption (€2,135 million and €1,920 million in the nine months and third quarter, respectively) following a noticeable increase in natural gas prices. This charge was partly offset by a gain due to the difference between the value of gas inventories accounted for under the weighted-average cost method provided by IFRS and management's own measure of inventories which moves forward at the time of inventory drawdown the margins captured on volumes in inventories above their normal levels leveraging the seasonal spread in gas prices net of the effects of the associated commodity derivatives (€307 million in the nine months); and the reclassification to adjusted operating profit of the positive balance of €154 million related to derivative financial instruments used to manage margin exposure to foreign currency exchange rate movements and exchange translation differences of commercial payables and receivables;
R&M and Chemicals: the third quarter recorded net losses (€89 million) mainly relating to the write down of capital expenditures made for compliance and stay-in-business at certain Cash Generating Units with expected negative cash flows. In the nine-months period, net charges of €1,106 million were incurred due to impairment losses taken at operated refineries and joint operations in Italy and in Europe for an overall amount of €900 million leading to the complete write-off of the stated book values, which were driven by the projections of lower future expected cash flows on the back of a deteriorated margin environment and the forecast of higher expenses for emission allowances. Other charges include the write down (approximately €140 million) of capital expenditures made for compliance and stay-inbusiness at certain Cash Generating Units with expected negative cash flows. Other special items related to environmental charges (€79 million), as well as the accounting effect of certain fair-valued commodity derivatives lacking the formal criteria to be classified as hedges (charge of €31 million);
EGL, Power & Renewables: net gains of €2,513 million in the nine months (€1,995 million in the third quarter) including the accounting effect of certain fair-valued commodity derivatives lacking the formal criteria to be classified as hedges driven by record growth of natural gas prices recorded in September 2021.

Special items recorded at equity-accounted investments mainly referred to impairment losses recorded at certain Cash Generating Units at the JV Vår Energi, mainly driven by a delay in the start-up of certain projects and cost overruns as well as a gain relating to the alignment of raw material and products inventories to their net realizable values at period end at ADNOC R&GT.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months of 2021 was €7,026 million, an increase of €3.2 billion compared to the nine months of 2020 driven by a better scenario in the upstream segment. The cash flow benefitted from a higher amount of trade receivables due in subsequent reporting periods divested to financing institutions (approximately €1.8 billion) compared to the fourth quarter 2020 (approximately +€0.4 billion).

Cash flow from operations before changes in working capital at replacement cost was €8,096 million. This non-GAAP measure includes net cash provided by operating activities before changes in working capital excluding inventory holding gains or losses relating to oil and products and provisions for extraordinary credit losses and other charges, as well as the fair value of commodity derivatives lacking the formal criteria to be designated as hedges and the fair value of forward gas sale contracts with physical delivery which were not accounted in accordance with the own use exemption.

A reconciliation of cash flow from operations before changes in working capital at replacement cost to net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months of 2021 and 2020 is provided below:

			Nine months 2021

Cash flow before working capital	9,580	(1,115)	(432)	63	8,096

Changes in working capital	614	(1,387)	(389)	(148)	(1,310)
CFFO	3,834				3,834

On an adjusted basis, the cash outflows due to the working capital (approximately €1 billion) were driven by the change in the book value of the natural gas inventory held by the GGP segment reflecting the increased commodity prices, net utilizations of provisions, and the utilization of advances cashed in previous reporting period to fund operations at the Zohr project which were offset with the value of volumes of gas invoiced to our Egyptian state-owned counterparts.

Cash outflows for capital expenditure, investments and business combinations were €5 billion, including the acquisition of a 20% interest in the Dogger Bank A/B offshore wind project in the North Sea, the 100% interest in Aldro Energía in the retail gas business, the 100% interest in Fri-El Biogas Holding engaged in the bio-gas business in Italy as well as a portfolio of companies operating wind power assets in Italy. Net of the above-mentioned non-organic items and of utilization of trade advances cashed by Egyptian partners in previous reporting periods in relation to the financing of the Zohr project (approximately €500 million), net capital expenditures amounted to €4 billion, up by approximately 7%. In the nine months of 2021 net capex were fully funded by the adjusted cash flow.

Net financial borrowings before IFRS16 decreased by about €0.3 billion mainly due to the two issuance of hybrid bonds for €2 billion and the free cash flow provided by operating activities (approximately €2.1 billion), partly offset by the payment of dividends to Eni's shareholders of approximately €2.4 billion (the 2020 balance dividend of €0.24 per share for a total amount of approximately €0.8 billion and the 2021 interim dividend of €0.43 per share for a total amount of €1.5 billion), the payment of lease liabilities for €0.7 billion and the consolidation of debt of acquired subsidiaries (€0.5 billion).

As of September 30, 2021, fixed assets of €71.8 billion increased by €1.9 billion from December 31, 2020: capital expenditures and acquisitions during the period and the positive impact of exchange rates differences were partly offset by DD&A and net impairment charges (the period-end exchange rate of EUR vs. USD was 1.158, down by 6% compared to 1.227 at December 31, 2020).
Net working capital (-€13.9 billion) increased by €0.8 billion due to an increased value of oil and products inventories due to the weighted-average cost method of accounting in an environment of rising prices, a higher balance between trade receivables and trade payables (approximately up by €0.3 billion) and utilizations of provisions for €0.5 billion, partly offset by the recognition of income taxes for the period of €1.7 billion.
Shareholders' equity (€40.3 billion) increased by approximately €2.8 billion compared to December 31, 2020 due to the net profit for the period (€2.32 billion), the issuance of hybrid bonds for €2 billion and positive foreign currency translation differences (about €2 billion) reflecting the appreciation of the US dollar vs. the euro as of September 30, 2021 vs. December 31, 2020, partly offset by the payment of dividends to Eni shareholders (balance dividend 2020 of €0.8 billion and the 2021 interim dividend of €1.5 billion), as well as a change in the cash flow hedge reserve of €1 billion reflecting trends in gas prices.
Net borrowings² before lease liabilities as of September 30, 2021 were €11.31 billion, down by €0.3 billion from December 31, 2020.
Leverage3 the ratio of the borrowings to total equity calculated before the impact of IFRS 16 was 0.28 at September 30, 2021, lower than December 31, 2020 (0.31).

Alternative performance indicators (Non-GAAP measures)

Management evaluates underlying business performance on the basis of Non-GAAP financial measures, which are not provided by IFRS ("Alternative performance measures"), such as adjusted operating profit, adjusted net profit, which are arrived at by excluding from reported results certain gains and losses, defined special items, which include, among others, asset impairments, including impairments of deferred tax assets, gains on disposals, risk provisions, restructuring charges, the accounting effect of fair-valued derivatives used to hedge exposure to the commodity, exchange rate and interest rate risks, which lack the formal criteria to be accounted as hedges, and analogously evaluation effects of assets and liabilities utilized in a relation of natural hedge of the above mentioned market risks. Furthermore, in determining the business segments' adjusted results, finance charges on finance debt and interest income are excluded (see below). In determining adjusted results, inventory holding gains or losses are excluded from base business performance, which is the difference between the cost of sales of the volumes sold in the period based on the cost of supplies of the same period and the cost of sales of the volumes sold calculated using the weighted average cost method of inventory accounting as required by IFRS, except in those business segments where inventories are utilized as a lever to optimize margins.

Finally, the same special charges/gains are excluded from the Eni's share of results at JVs and other equity accounted entities, including any profit/loss on inventory holding.

Management is disclosing Non-GAAP measures of performance to facilitate a comparison of base business performance across periods, and to allow financial analysts to evaluate Eni's trading performance on the basis of their forecasting models.

Non-GAAP financial measures should be read together with information determined by applying IFRS and do not stand in for them. Other companies may adopt different methodologies to determine Non-GAAP measures.

Follows the description of the main alternative performance measures adopted by Eni. The measures reported below refer to the performance of the reporting periods disclosed in this press release:

Adjusted operating and net profit

Adjusted operating profit and adjusted net profit are determined by excluding inventory holding gains or losses, special items and, in determining the business segments' adjusted results, finance charges on finance debt and interest income. The adjusted operating profit of each business segment reports gains and losses on derivative financial instruments entered into to manage exposure to movements in foreign currency exchange rates, which impact industrial margins and translation of commercial payables and receivables. Accordingly, also currency translation effects recorded through profit and loss are reported within business segments' adjusted operating profit. The taxation effect of the items excluded from adjusted operating or net profit is determined based on the specific rate of taxes applicable to each of them.

Finance charges or income related to net borrowings excluded from the adjusted net profit of business segments are comprised of interest charges on finance debt and interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents not related to operations. Therefore, the adjusted net profit of business segments includes finance charges or income deriving from certain segment operated assets, i.e., interest income on certain receivable financing and securities related to operations and finance charge pertaining to the accretion of certain provisions recorded on a discounted basis (as in the case of the asset retirement obligations in the Exploration & Production segment).

Inventory holding gain or loss

This is the difference between the cost of sales of the volumes sold in the period based on the cost of supplies of the same period and the cost of sales of the volumes sold calculated using the weighted average cost method of inventory accounting as required by IFRS.

Special items

These include certain significant income or charges pertaining to either: (i) infrequent or unusual events and transactions, being identified as non-recurring items under such circumstances; (ii) certain events or transactions which are not considered to be representative of the ordinary course of business, as in the case of environmental provisions, restructuring charges, asset impairments or write ups and gains or losses on divestments even though they occurred in past periods or are likely to occur in future ones. Exchange rate differences and derivatives relating to industrial activities and commercial payables and receivables, particularly exchange rate derivatives to manage commodity pricing formulas which are quoted in a currency other than the functional currency are reclassified in operating profit with a corresponding adjustment to net finance charges, notwithstanding the handling of foreign currency exchange risks is made centrally by netting off naturally-occurring opposite positions and then dealing with any residual risk exposure in the derivative market. Finally, special items include the accounting effects of fair-valued commodity derivatives relating to commercial exposures, in addition to those which lack the criteria to be designed as hedges, also those which are not eligible for the own use exemption, including the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges, as well as the accounting effects of settled commodity and exchange rates derivatives whenever it is deemed that the underlying transaction is expected to occur in future reporting periods.

Correspondently, special charges/gains also include the evaluation effects relating to assets/liabilities utilized in a natural hedge relation to offset a market risk, as in the case of accrued currency differences at finance debt denominated in a currency other than the reporting currency, where the cash outflows for the reimbursement are matched by highly probable cash inflows in the same currency. The deferral of both the unrealized portion of fair-valued commodity and other derivatives and evaluation effects are reversed to future reporting periods when the underlying transaction occurs.

As provided for in Decision No. 15519 of July 27, 2006 of the Italian market regulator (CONSOB), non-recurring material income or charges are to be clearly reported in the management's discussion and financial tables.

Leverage

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

Gearing

Gearing is calculated as the ratio between net borrowings and capital employed net and measures how much of capital employed net is financed recurring to third-party funding.

Cash flow from operations before changes in working capital at replacement cost

This is defined as net cash provided from operating activities before changes in working capital at replacement cost. It also excludes certain non-recurring charges such as extraordinary credit allowances and, considering the high market volatility, changes in the fair value of commodity derivatives lacking the formal criteria to be designed as hedges, including derivatives which were not eligible for the own use exemption, the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges, as well as the effects of certain settled commodity derivatives whenever it is deemed that the underlying transaction is expected to occur in future reporting periods.

Free cash flow

Free cash flow represents the link existing between changes in cash and cash equivalents (deriving from the statutory cash flows statement) and in net borrowings (deriving from the summarized cash flow statement) that occurred from the beginning of the period to the end of period. Free cash flow is the cash in excess of capital expenditure needs. Starting from free cash flow it is possible to determine either: (i) changes in cash and cash equivalents for the period by adding/deducting cash flows relating to financing debts/receivables (issuance/repayment of debt and receivables related to financing activities), shareholders' equity (dividends paid, net repurchase of own shares, capital issuance) and the effect of changes in consolidation and of exchange rate differences; (ii) changes in net borrowings for the period by adding/deducting cash flows relating to shareholders' equity and the effect of changes in consolidation and of exchange rate differences.

Net borrowings

Net borrowings is calculated as total finance debt less cash, cash equivalents and certain very liquid investments not related to operations, including among others non-operating financing receivables. Financial activities are qualified as "not related to operations" when these are not strictly related to the business operations.

Leverage and net borrowings

Leverage is a measure used by management to assess the Company's level of indebtedness. It is calculated as a ratio of net borrowings 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.
