Introduction

This Report on Payments to Governments made by the parent company Eni SpA, its consolidated subsidiaries and its proportionally‐consolidated entities (hereinafter all together referred to as "Eni" or "Eni Group") for the year 2017 complies with Eni's reporting obligations required under "Chapter I" of the Italian Legislative Decree N° 139 of August 18, 2015, which enacted Directive 2013/34/EU (the EU Accounting Directive (2013)). The obligation to prepare and publish such a Report on payments is applicable to large undertakings with certain dimensional parameters and to companies listed on regulated markets in the EU, that engage in the exploration, prospection, discovery, development and extraction of minerals, oil, natural gas and other natural resources. In addition to the obligation to report on an individual basis, the regulation requires preparation of a consolidated report, which must include payments made both by the parent company and such subsidiaries that individually engage in the extractive industry. The consolidated report waives the EU‐ based subsidiaries from the requirement to report on an individual basis. The consolidation scope is defined by the accounting rules applied by the parent company in preparing the statutory consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS.

The consolidated report is provided on pages 8‐22. The individual report on payments of the parent company Eni SpA is provided on page 23.

This Report is available for download from eni.com, under the section Publications/Annual and Quarterly Reports.

Eni's upstream activity

Eni engages in oil and natural gas exploration, development and extractive activities in 46 countries, mainly in Italy, Algeria, Angola, Congo, Egypt, Ghana, Iraq, Libya, Mozambique, Nigeria, Norway, Kazakhstan, the United Kingdom, the United States and Venezuela. The upstream activity is Eni's core business.

The 2017 hydrocarbon production averaged 1,816 kboe/day, while hydrocarbon proved reserves were 7 billion boe as of December 31, 2017. At the reporting date of December 31, 2017, the upstream business represented 84% of Eni Group capital employed and, in 2017, 89% of Eni's capital expenditure were directed to oil and natural gas exploration and development. In 2017, Eni brought an overall value of €12.55 billion to the host countries where it is presently conducting its upstream operations (see the table published on page 26, which discloses payments reported on a voluntary basis).

Following is a map of Eni's main countries of upstream operations ranked according to the size of payments:

Basis of preparation

Legislation

This Report on Payments to Governments ("Report") complies with Eni reporting obligations as per "Chapter I" of the Italian Legislative Decree N° 139 of August 18, 2015, which enacted the Directive 2013/34/EU. The Directive requires companies listed on a regulated market in the EU involved in the extractive industry to prepare and publish a report on payments to governments for each financial year, on an individual and/or consolidated basis.

Reporting principles adopted have also considered the official interpretations of the regulation issued by national and international bodies.

Based on this regulatory framework, Eni1 is subject to the obligation to prepare a consolidated report on payments made to governments; the parent company Eni SpA is also subject to an individual reporting obligation.

Applicable rules establish the consolidation scope to be defined by the accounting policies applied by the parent company in preparing the statutory consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS. This report also comprises data of Eni's joint operations that are proportionally‐consolidated according to Eni's working interest in each venture.

Activities within the scope of the Report

This Report discloses cash payments and in‐kind payments made to governments that relate to Eni's activities involving the exploration, prospection, discovery, development and extraction of oil (including condensates) and natural gas. Payments made to governments that relate to refining activities, liquefying of natural gas (LNG) and gas‐to‐liquids as well as other downstream activities are not disclosed in this Report. For integrated projects without a contractual cut‐off point where a value can be attributed to the extractive activities, payments to governments are not conventionally split, but disclosed at 100%.

Government

The term "government" refers to any national, regional or local authority of any Member State of the European Union or Third State (including Ministries, governmental bodies and agencies) as well as any undertakings controlled by the above‐mentioned public entity. The definition of control is that provided in Directive 2013/34/EU, which identifies control with the obligation of including the accounts of the controlled entity in the consolidated financial statements of the controlling entity2 .

1 The provisions of Legislative Decree N° 25 of February 15, 2016, which transposes Directive 2013/50/EU (the so‐called Transparency II Directive) into Italian Law, are applied to undertakings based in Italy and listed on the stock market, active in the above‐mentioned sectors, whose securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market. Such undertakings are required to prepare, on an annual basis, a Report on payments made to governments in compliance with the provisions of the Directive 2013/34/EU.

2 The notion of control provided in the Art. 22 of the Directive is substantially in line with the one adopted by IFRS. Therefore, the provision refers to the notion of control which would trigger the inclusion of the accounts of the controlled entity in the consolidated accounts of the governmental controlling entity should the latter be required to prepare consolidated financial statements.

Reporting principles

This report discloses cash payments and in‐kind payments made to governments by the parent company Eni SpA, its consolidated subsidiaries and proportionally‐consolidated entities in accordance with IFRS. Payment means an amount paid, whether in cash or in‐kind, for the activities in scope of the regulations. Payments made by cash are reported in the period in which they are paid. Payments made in kind based on the underlying production delivery (production entitlements, tax oil and royalties where applicable) are reported on an accrual basis. In‐kind payments are converted to an equivalent cash value based on the most appropriate and relevant valuation method for each payment, which generally corresponds to market value as stated in the relevant contract. In‐kind payments are reported in both volumes and the equivalent cash value.

The report comprises direct payments made by Eni to governments arising from petroleum projects in which Eni or the Group companies partecipated. Payments made to governments in relation to oil activities conducted through unincorporated joint ventures3 are disclosed in this Report if and to the extent that, the amounts are paid directly by Eni. This is the case when Eni is the operator4 of the unincorporated joint venture; in this case payment amounts are reported in full, even where Eni as operator of a project is proportionally reimbursed by its non‐operating venture partners through a partner billing process (cash‐call). When Eni is a non‐operating partner, payments are disclosed only when Eni has a direct payment obligation towards any governments.

Payments made by incorporated joint ventures5 are not disclosed in this Report, because Eni does not control these entities.

Project definition

Payments are reported at the project level, except that payments that are not attributable to a specific project are reported at the entity level. Project is defined as operational activities, which are governed by a single contract, license, lease, concession or similar legal agreement, and form the basis for payment liabilities with a government. If such agreements are "substantially interconnected", those agreements are to be treated as a single project. "Substantially interconnected" means forming a set of operationally and geographically integrated agreements with substantially similar terms that are signed with a government giving rise to payment liabilities. Indicators of integration include, but are not limited to, geographic proximity, the use of shared infrastructure, common operational management, and a shared budget. In this report the integration criteria adopted by Eni include the use of a common infrastructure and in the case of minor projects, geographic proximity.

The disclosure of the payments referred to in this Report reflect the substance of the contracts or the other obligations, that give raise to payments.

Payments

Payments are reported according to the following information in respect of the relevant financial year: i) the full amount paid to each governmental authority; ii) the full amount paid to each government by payment type; iii) the total amount per type of payment made for each project and the total amount of payments for each project.

3 Unincorporated Joint Ventures means two or more entities jointly carrying on the project under contract's provision, which are not incorporated in a separate vehicle/legal entity.

4 The operator of a petroleum project is the entity that based on contractual arrangements with the counterparties, manages field operations and, in this capacity, is actually making payments to governments including situations where the operator determines and communicates the production entitlement due to each party (i.e. under production sharing contracts).

5 Incorporated Joint Venture means two or more entities jointly carrying on the project through a separate vehicle/legal entity.

The information is reported under the following payment types:

Production entitlements

Under Production Sharing Agreements (PSAs) and similar contractual schemes (e.g., service contracts), the host government's share of production in the reporting period derives from projects operated by Eni. This includes the government's share as a sovereign entity or through its participation as an equity or interest holder in projects within its sovereign jurisdiction (home country). Production entitlements arising from activities or interests outside of its home country are excluded. First party entitlements are the share of production after hydrocarbons have been produced and allocated to cover costs and investments incurred by Eni for extractive activities. These entitlements are often paid in‐kind and are taken at the source. Such production entitlements are reported on an accrual basis. The value of the in‐ kind payments is calculated based on the market price, determined on the basis of the contractual mechanisms provided in each PSA. When Eni is the joint‐venture operator, host government entitlements are reported at 100%. Where the national oil company (NOC) is also an equity partner in the joint venture, their production entitlement is reported in addition to the government's share of production. The NOC's entitlement as a partner will include both their share of production as investor return as well as their entitlement for the reimbursement of their costs.

In certain projects, extractive operations that give rise to production entitlements for the government are managed by a separate company (incorporated joint venture) in the capacity as the operator based on the arrangements between Eni and a government, while Eni retains the mineral rights. The operator generally maintains the records that determine the sharing of production between the counterparties. In the process of determining and communicating the production entitlement due to each party, and making the arrangements for the parties to physically receive their entitlements, the operator is effectively making the payment to the government. This Report does not include the whole payment calculated on the basis of the government entitlement because the operator is not controlled by Eni. In these types of contracts, Eni's payments generally are limited to corporate income taxes calculated on the pre‐tax profit pertaining to Eni. Finally, in the case of incorporated joint ventures that are at the same time operator of a petroleum project and holder of the underlying mineral rights, no payment amounts are reported by Eni both because those entities are not controlled by Eni and because these joint ventures are obligated to pay taxes on corporate profits to governments.

Taxes

The Report includes taxes levied on income, profits and production coming from exploration and production of minerals, oil, natural gas and other natural resources. Taxes include in‐kind volumes due by Eni to local tax authorities within the PSA, which provides that the tax obligations in charge of the second party is settled by the NOC out of production entitlements. The monetary value of those payments is determined using the same method as per the production entitlements. Taxes levied on consumption, personnel, sales, procurement (contractor's withholding taxes), environmental, property, customs and excise are not reportable under the Regulations.

Royalties

These are payments for the rights to extract oil and gas resources, typically a set percentage of revenue or production less any deductions that may be taken.

Dividends

These are dividends that are paid in lieu of production entitlements or royalties. For the year ended

December 31, 2017, there were no reportable amounts under this type. Dividends paid by Eni to a government as an ordinary shareholder are excluded.

Signature, discovery and production bonuses

These are often one‐off payments to governments for bonuses, e.g. paid upon assignment of exploration permit, or when a commercial discovery is declared or an agreement/contract is signed, or production has commenced or reached a milestone. These payments are usually set by petroleum contracts that are awarded through international bids. Signature, discovery and production bonuses are included in the Report.

Licence fees, rental fees, entry fees and other considerations for licences and/or concessions

These are payments set by law or contracts for acquiring a licence for gaining access to an area where exploration, development and production activities are performed. Administrative government fees that are not specifically related to the extractive sector, or to access to extractive resources, are excluded. Also excluded are payments made in return for services provided by a government.

Infrastructure improvements

These are payments which relate to the construction or improvement of infrastructure (road, bridge or rail) not substantially dedicated for the use of extractive activities. Payments which are of a social investment in nature, for example building a school or hospital, are excluded. For the year ended December 31, 2017, there were no reportable infrastructure payments to a government.

Materiality

The regulation provides that payments below €100,000 made in the reporting period are not reported, whether made as a single payment or as a series of related payments. Such a disclosure threshold has been applied in this report, and such payments therefore excluded, when cumulative payments were below €100,000 aggregated either by payment type or by each single government.

Reporting currency

Payments are reported in thousand Euros. Payments made in currencies other than Euros are translated at the average exchange rate of the reporting period.

Assurance of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

EY S.p.A. has issued a limited review on this Report in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000.

Information provided on a voluntary basis

In order to achieve greater transparency, Eni is reporting on a voluntary basis and with the prior consent of host Countries' relevant authorities, the governments' production entitlements at certain service agreements operated by Eni considering that this type of contracts, which are out of the scope of the rule, are similar to production sharing agreements. The table that includes payments reported on a voluntary basis is published on page 26.

Independent limited assurance report (translation from the original Italian text)

To the Board of Directors of Eni S.p.A.

We have carried out a limited assurance engagement on the "Report on payments to governments 2017" of Eni S.p.A. as of December 31, 2017 and for the period then ended (the "Report").

Directors' responsibility

The Directors are responsible for the preparation of the Report in accordance with Chapter 1 -Requlation on payments transparency ("Disposizioni in materia di trasparenza dei pagamenti") of Legislative Decree dated August 18, 2015, n.139 (the "Regulation") and the reporting principles as detailed in the section "Basis of preparation" of the Report. The Directors are also responsible for the internal control that they consider necessary in order to allow the preparation of the Report that is free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error.

Independent auditor's responsibility

Our responsibility is to prepare this report on the basis of the procedures carried out. Our work has been conducted in accordance with the criteria established by the International Standards on Assurance Engagements 3000 (Revised) - Assurance Engagements other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information" ("ISAE 3000 Revised"), issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board for the engagements that consist in a limited assurance. This standard requires the respect of relevant ethical and independence principles, as well as the planning and the execution of our work in order to obtain a limited assurance that the Report is free of material misstatements. These procedures included inquiries, primarily with company's personnel responsible for the preparation of the information included in the Report, document analysis, recalculation and other procedures in order to obtain evidences considered appropriate.

The procedures performed both at Eni group and component level mainly consisted of:

  • a) inquiries of management responsible for the preparation of the information included in the Report in order to understand and evaluate the adequacy of methods and criteria adopted by the Company and their compliance with the provisions of the Decree;
  • b) observation of the processes applied for collection of qualitative and quantitative information included in the Report and procedures on a sample basis of associated supporting documents;
  • c) analytical procedures to identify and discuss any unusual payments reported in the Report; and
  • d) reconciliation of items included in the Report with the underlying accounting records.

Our examination has entailed a lower extension of work compared to the work to be performed for a reasonable assurance engagement in accordance with ISAE 3000 Revised and, as consequence, we may not have become aware of all the significant events and circumstances which we might have identified had we performed a reasonable assurance engagement.
