Eni: results for the third quarter and nine months of 2024

• Resilient financial performance, despite weaker trading environment, reflecting strength of our business model
• Significant strategic progress in delivering targeted growth across the businesses
• Satellite approach continues to evolve as KKR confirms €2.9 bln investment into Enilive; new UK E&P satellite created with Ithaca Energy
• Portfolio plan ahead of schedule in timing and value secured
• Competitive shareholder returns: further raising 2024 share buyback to €2 bln

San Donato Milanese, October 25, 2024 - Eni's Board of Directors, chaired by Giuseppe Zafarana, yesterday approved the unaudited consolidated results for the third quarter and nine months of 2024. Eni CEO Claudio Descalzi said:

"In Q3, by delivering a performance ahead of expectations, we have again demonstrated the resilience of our business model thanks to our increasingly advantaged asset portfolio, stringent cost and capital discipline and strategic focus on growth and value creation. We delivered an excellent cash flow and profitability performance in a less supportive trading environment. Importantly, we maintained leverage at 22%, whilst also speeding up our buyback plans.

We continue to make clear strategic progress across our portfolio. We have increased our upstream production alongside investing for the next phase of growth, including gaining approval for the plan of development on our large Indonesian projects. Our satellite strategy continues to evolve and we are delighted to confirm the €2.9 bln investment by KKR into Enilive, which builds on the transaction concluded at Plenitude earlier in the year and demonstrates our ability to attract investment, confirming the value we are delivering. The creation of our new UK E&P satellite with Ithaca Energy is the next step to support our growth. We remain committed to supporting the energy transition: during the quarter, we advanced two milestone CCS projects of Ravenna in Italy and HyNet in the UK while Plenitude continues to grow renewable capacity and we are now active in building three new biorefineries in Italy, South Korea and Malaysia.

Alongside financial and project delivery we remain focused on portfolio high-grading, highlighting value and maintaining a robust balance sheet. In Upstream we continue our divestment programme and are also in the final stages of evaluating options to monetize recent material discoveries via our dual exploration model. Finally, we are committed to delivering competitive shareholder returns and reflecting our results, strategic progress and the prospects of significant balance sheet de-leveraging, we are pleased to announce an additional increase in the 2024 share buyback to €2 bln."

Strategic and financial highlights

Continued delivery of our strategy of valuable growth and portfolio upgrading. Several important milestones achieved to unlock future growth.

• Started in Italy, off Sicily, the Argo-Cassiopea gas development, the largest in years, expected to reach a peak production of 1.5 bcm and featuring net zero scope 1&2 emissions.
• Approval by Indonesian authorities of the PoD for the Northern Hub development that includes the Geng North discovery, and the Ganal PSC fields development that materially extends the production plateau of Jangkrik, the Southern hub.
• With the launch of two new floating vessels, the Baleine Phase 2 project offshore Cote d'Ivoire is on track to commence operations by end '24 as scheduled, in line with our fast-track approach, and complementing the success of Phase 1.
• Closed the divestiture of Nigerian onshore assets.
• Finalized the combination of our UK oil&gas assets with Ithaca Energy to create a new geographically-focused satellite in line with the successes of Vår Energi in Norway and Azule in Angola.
• FID taken to build a biorefinery in Malaysia with our joint venture partners Petronas and Euglena, with 650 ktons/y of advanced processing capacity. Works for converting Livorno into a biorefinery expected to begin shortly.
• Eni finalized its transformation, decarbonization and relaunch plan for its chemicals business first announced in March. Eni will invest in the development of new chemicals platforms in high value downstream activities such as renewables, circular and specialized products while reducing exposure to basic chemicals, thereby recovering profitability and supporting a positive impact on employment.
• First CO2 injection at our flagship Ravenna CCS project offshore Italy. UK Government Funding secured for the Liverpool Bay Transport and Storage Project, a key milestone in the development of the HyNet CCS project.
• A new organizational set-up focused on 3 new business structures has been set-up to unlock the value of Eni's satellites and complete Eni's transformation leveraging our operational excellence and high-quality assets1: i) "Chief Transition & Financial Officer" focused on maximizing the value of our transition-related businesses; ii) "Global Natural Resources" designated to fully capture the value across the oil & gas value chain and to monetize our traditional assets; iii) "Industrial Transformation" designated to accelerate the restructuring of our chemicals and downstream businesses.

Disciplined capital management to support deleveraging. Commitment to delivering competitive shareholder returns with buyback increased in 2024.

• Confirming investment by KKR into Enilive for a total €2.9 bln.
• Continued exploration success has created a number of material options for early monetization and realization of value.
• Better than expected progress in portfolio enabled the acceleration of the share buyback program in Q3 '24, raising the '24 buyback to €2 bln from €1.6 bln in Q2 '24 to reflect the prospect of significantly lower balance sheet leverage.

Resilient results driven by effective strategy execution and financial discipline despite lower Brent prices, EUR strength, and weaker margins for refining and chemical products.

• In Q3 '24 delivered Group proforma adjusted EBIT of €3.4 bln and adjusted net profit of €1.3 bln. In Q3 '24 adjusted cash flow of €2.9 bln was underpinned by continuing progress in implementing our strategy, new project contributions, growth at the businesses related to the transition, and a focus on costs and financial discipline.
• Q3 '24 E&P proforma adjusted EBIT of €3.2 bln was helped by the ramp-up of higher value barrels at new projects, strong execution, and cost control. It came despite weaker Brent prices and Euro appreciation impacting both y-o-y and sequential comparisons (down 5% and 9%, respectively). Q3 production was resilient (up 2% y-o-y) notwithstanding a sequential decline (down 3% q-o-q) due to the impact of maintenance on a larger North Sea base, hurricane effects in the GoM, divestments and lower activity in Libya.
• Q3 '24 GGP proforma adjusted EBIT of €0.25 bln was up 65% y-o-y, optimizing the gas and LNG portfolio.
• Enilive proforma adjusted EBIT of €0.18 bln was helped by the marketing performance and partly offset by lower biofuels margins. In Q3 '24 Plenitude earned a proforma adjusted EBIT of €0.13 bln, slightly down y-o-y, reflecting a typical return to normal seasonality and the decrease in gas sales as per market demand dynamics.
• Refining proforma adjusted EBIT was €0.03 bln, down both y-o-y and sequentially as the scenario deteriorated markedly (the SERM was down by over 80% in the quarter). The Chemicals again incurred a loss (€0.2 bln) due to continued industry headwinds: subdued demand, competitive pressure and the comparatively higher energy costs of operating in Europe.
• €10.7 bln of operating cash flow delivered in the nine months, largely covering the organic capex funding needs of €6.1 bln. Organic free funds "FCF" of €4.6 bln have been used to fuel shareholders cash returns of €3.4 bln and together with around €1.7 bln of disposals enabled the Company to maintain net borrowings to €12 bln, including the Neptune acquisition. This left Group leverage at 0.22, in line with Q2 '24 and well within the 0.15-0.25 guided range for 2024-27.

¹ Following Board's approval of Eni's new organizational structure, the Company expects to revise its segment information for financial reporting purposes starting from Q4 2024. Changes to reportable segments are expected to be immaterial.

Outlook 2024

E&P results expected to meet expectations, with upside to GGP performance. Transition satellites performing well despite weaker market environment. Underlying financial performance seen as better than previous in a constant environment

• E&P: full-year hydrocarbon production is expected at around 1.70 mln boe/d at the forecast average Brent price of 83 \$/bbl.
• GGP: expectation of proforma adjusted EBIT for the full year is raised to around €1.1 bln.
• Enilive and Plenitude:
  • confirmed proforma adjusted EBITDA of approximately €1 bln for each segment despite a lower market environment.
  • Installed renewable capacity to reach 4 GW by 2024 year-end (+30% vs the previous year).

Reaffirmed FY Group consolidated results expectations, net of scenario effects, and capex plan guidance

• Group consolidated results based on the Eni scenario2: Accounting for a revised Brent scenario of 83 \$/bbl (as well as other variables (weaker USD, SERM, etc.) the management is now expecting the FY Group proforma adjusted EBIT and the adjusted CFFO before working capital at €14 bln and €13.5 bln, respectively.
• Organic Capex projected at below €9 bln for the full year. On a proforma basis, capex net of proceeds from disposals is continued to be seen at below €6 bln.

Shareholder Returns: 2024 buyback increased by €0.4 bln. Interim dividend confirmed, up 6% on 2023

• Next quarterly dividend: following Shareholders' approval of a dividend of €1 per share for fiscal year 2024, a 6% increase over 2023, the second quarterly instalment of €0.25 per share is due to be paid on November 20, 2024, with November 18, 2024 being the ex-dividend date, as resolved by the Board of Directors yesterday.
• In consideration of the disposal plan progressing ahead of our initial plan, we confirm to further raise the 2024 share buyback. The 2024 buyback is now expected to be €2 bln, a 25% increase on the previous guidance of €1.6 bln and more than 80% higher than the original plan for the year. This will bring total distribution to around 38% of CFFO3.

Accelerated deleveraging supported by faster pace in disposal plan

• Leverage expected at year end on a proforma basis, considering the portfolio actions agreed but not closed, is expected to be towards the lower end of a possible 15%-20% range.
• The Group disposal plan is proceeding faster than expected with excellent visibility of almost all the €8 bln net disposal proceeds over the four-year plan.

The above-described outlook is a forward-looking statement based on information to date and management's judgement and is subject to the potential risks and uncertainties of the scenario (see our disclaimer on page 18).

² Updated 2024 Scenario is: Brent 83 \$/bbl (previously \$86/bbl); SERM 4.7 \$/bbl from 6.8 \$/bbl; PSV 35 €/MWh (vs 33 €/MWh) and average EUR/USD exchange rate at 1.085 (vs 1.075). ³ On an adjusted basis, before working capital changes.

(a) Prices related to consolidated subsidiaries.

• In Q3 '24, hydrocarbon production averaged 1.66 mln boe/d (1.7 mln boe/d in the nine months '24), up 2% compared to Q3 '23 (up 4% vs. the nine months '23). The increase was driven by the Neptune acquisition (about 120 kboe/d) and continuing production ramp-ups at the Baleine project in Côte d'Ivoire and the Coral project in Mozambique as well as higher volumes in Indonesia and Libya. Those additions were partly offset by mature fields decline and divestments.

• Liquids production was 775 kbbl/d in Q3 '24 up 2% compared to Q3 '23 (783 kbbl/d in the nine months '24, up 2% vs. the nine months '23), mainly due to the Neptune acquisition and growth in Côte d'Ivoire. These increases were partly offset by mature fields decline and divestments.
• Natural gas production was 4,638 mmcf/d in Q3 '24, up 1% compared to Q3 '23 (4,821 mmcf/d in the nine months '24, up 6% vs. the nine months '23), mainly due to the Neptune acquisition, the ramp-up of the Coral Floating LNG project, as well as higher contribution from Libya and Indonesia, offset by mature fields decline and divestments.
• Liquids price realizations trended broadly in line with benchmarks. Natural gas price realizations reflected the price exposure of the production portfolio, where about 32% of volumes is indexed to the price of crude oil, higher than the share of production linked to European hub pricing (18%). The remainder of E&P produced gas volumes is sold at fixed prices.

• In Q3 '24, Exploration & Production reported a proforma adjusted EBIT of €3,213 mln, down by 5% versus Q3 '23 due to lower realizations affected by a decrease in crude oil prices in USD (the marker Brent was down by 8% in the quarter) partly offset by higher natural gas realizations (up 8%), as well as production growth and efficiency gains. In the nine months '24, proforma adjusted EBIT was €10,065 mln in line compared to the nine months '23.

• In Q3 '24, the segment reported an adjusted net profit of €1,248 mln, decreasing by 18% compared to Q3 '23 mainly due to lower underlying performance partly offset by higher contributions from JVs and associates. Adjusted net profit was €3,656 mln in the nine months '24, a decrease of 11% y-o-y.

• In Q3 '24 the tax rate was around 50% increasing by 5 percentage points compared to the same period of 2023 (up by around 4 percentage points in the nine months '24). The '24 E&P tax rate is reflecting the current mix of geographies driven by the higher relative weight of countries with above average rates and higher non-deductible expenses.

Strategic developments

• More than 1 bln boe of discovered resources in the first nine months '24 due to significant upside in Indonesia, the major discovery of Calao in Côte d'Ivoire, appraisal activity performed at the Cronos well in Cyprus and an oil and associated gas discovery in Mexico.
• In August, started gas production at the Argo Cassiopea field, the most important gas development project in Italy. The gas is being transported through a 60 km subsea pipeline to the Gela processing plant, linked to the national grid. Peak annual production is expected at 1.5 bcm.
• In August, finalized the sale of wholly-owned subsidiary Nigerian Agip Oil Company (NAOC) engaged in onshore oil&gas exploration and production in Nigeria to the local company Oando. The transaction is in line with Eni's strategy of upgrading and rationalizing the upstream portfolio.

The 5% participating interest in SPDC (Shell Production Development Company Joint Venture) is not included in the transaction, as it will be retained in Eni's portfolio. Eni will continue to be present in the Country through investment in deepwater projects and Nigeria LNG, while also exploring new opportunities related to agri-feedstock sector.

• In August, the Indonesian authorities approved the Plan of Development (PoD) of the Geng North (North Ganal PSC) and Gehem (Rapak PSC) fields. The integrated development of the two fields will create a new production hub, called Northern Hub, in the Kutei Basin. The Indonesian authorities have also approved the PoD for Gendalo & Gandang fields (Ganal PSC). Additionally, Eni has been awarded by the Indonesian authorities a 20-year extension of the IDD licences named Ganal and Rapak.
• In September, Eni and Snam started CO2 injection in a depleted reservoir as part of the Ravenna CCS Phase 1 project in the Adriatic Sea. Ravenna CCS is the first project on the capture, transport and permanent storage of CO₂ in Italy.
• In October, completed the combination of the upstream assets in the UK, excluding East Irish Sea assets and CCUS activities, with Ithaca Energy plc. The combination is funded through the issue to Eni UK of such number of new ordinary shares that represents approximately 38.7% of the share capital of Ithaca post transaction.
• In October, the UK Government granted public funds in relation to the Liverpool Bay CO2 transport and storage (T&S) project. The funding includes investment for Track 1 industrial emitters and is a key milestone towards the execution phase of HyNet, which will unlock significant investment in the area.

(a) Data include intercompany sales.

• In Q3 '24, natural gas sales were 10.79 bcm, barely unchanged from the comparative period (down 1%) as result of reduced volumes sold to importers and in the European markets, balanced by higher sales in Italy and the Rest of World. In Italy sales increased by 2% vs. Q3 '23, particularly in wholesalers segment. In the European markets, gas volumes decreased by 2% as consequence of lower sales in France, the UK and Benelux, offset by higher sales in Germany. In the nine months '24, natural gas sales amounted to 35.62 bcm, down 3% vs. the nine months '23, mainly due to lower volumes sold to importers and to lower gas volumes marketed in the European markets (down 6% vs. the nine months '23). In Italy gas sales were substantially in line vs. the comparative period (down 1% vs. the nine months '23).

• In Q3 '24, the Global Gas & LNG Portfolio segment achieved a proforma adjusted Ebit of €253 mln, including the operating margin of the equity accounted entity SeaCorridor. Compared to the same period of 2023, the result was up by 65% due to a more favorable trading environment and the positive outcome of a negotiation/settlement. In the nine months '24, proforma adjusted Ebit amounted to €912 mln and was down by 66% y-o-y, which benefitted by one-off effects linked to the outcomes of negotiations/settlements and by an extraordinarily favorable trading environment.

• The Q3 '24 Ebit of subsidiaries benefitted from a reclassification to income taxes of certain operating items settled by the JV SeaCorridor on behalf of the shipper and comprised into the transport tariff.

Strategic developments

• In October, Eni signed a charter agreement for the LNG bunker vessel Avenir Aspiration with Avenir LNG Limited with a view of expanding Eni's activities in the small-scale LNG bunkering market in the Mediterranean Sea, in line with Eni's strategy to market its growing LNG portfolio and promote more environmentally sustainable fuels.
• In October, Eni signed a Memorandum of Cooperation with Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security with the aim of promoting the role of gas and LNG in the energy transition pathway, including LNG supply opportunities by Eni to Japan and the support of Japanese financial institutions to the Coral North project in Mozambique.

• In Q3 '24, bio throughputs were 277 ktonnes, representing a reduction of 15% compared to the same period of 2023. Throughputs were affected by lower volumes processed at the Venice and Chalmette biorefineries following planned maintenance shutdowns. In the nine months '24, bio throughputs increased by 58% compared to the same period of 2023, thanks to the contribution of Chalmette refinery.
• In Q3 '24, retail sales were 2.07 mmtonnes, an increase of 3% y-o-y, due to higher sales mainly outside Italy of gasoline and HVO, offset by lower sales of gasoil. Sales in Italy were barely unchanged. In the nine months '24, retail sales amounted to 5.75 mmtonnes, an increase of 2% vs. the nine months '23.
• In Q3 '24, wholesale sales were 3.44 mmtonnes, in line compared to the same period of 2023. Positive performance was recorded in the nine months '24 at 10.40 mmtonnes: up 10% vs. the nine months '23 due to higher sales of jet fuel mainly in Italy.

Plenitude

• As of September 30, 2024, retail and business customers were 10 mln (gas and electricity), with a slight decrease compared to September 30, 2023, due to lower gas customers, partially offset by the increase in the power customer base.
• Retail and business gas sales to end customers amounted to 0.49 bcm in Q3 '24, down by 8% compared to the same period in 2023, mainly impacted by lower consumptions. In the nine months '24, gas sales of 3.78 bcm, decreased by 13% vs. the comparative period, due to the same driver as for the quarter.
• Retail and business power sales to end customers were 4.88 TWh in Q3 '24, increasing by 7% compared to Q3 '23. In the nine months '24 power sales amounted to 13.66 TWh, a slight increase vs the nine months '23.
• As of September 30, 2024, the installed capacity from renewables was 3.1 GW, up by approximately 0.6 GW compared to September 30, 2023, mainly thanks to the acquisitions in the USA, as well as to the organic development in Italy, Spain and in the UK.
• Energy production from renewable sources was 1.2 TWh in Q3 '24, up by 20% year-on-year, mainly thanks to the contribution from acquired assets in operation and the start-up of organic projects partially offset by adverse natural events in Texas (3.5 TWh in the nine months '24, +17% vs the comparative period).
• EV charging points as of September 30, 2024, amounted to 21 thousand, up by 20% compared to 17.5 thousand as of September 30, 2023, thanks to the network development.

• In Q3 '24 the Enilive business reported a proforma adjusted Ebit of €184 mln, down by 36% compared to the same period in 2023. The biofuels business was negatively affected by deteriorated margins, lowest values ever, due to oversupplies pressuring spot HVO prices in EU and lower RIN in North America (over 50% lower than Q3'23). Marketing positive results benefitted from higher performance of the retail business. In the nine months '24, Enilive reported a proforma adjusted Ebit of €482 mln, compared to €626 mln in the nine months '23.

Proforma adjusted Ebitda amounted to €262 mln, down by 27% vs Q3 '23 (€359 mln); the guidance for the year is approximately €1 bln. In the nine months '24 reported a proforma adjusted Ebitda of €712 mln, compared to €821 mln in the nine months '23.

• In Q3 '24 Plenitude reported a proforma adjusted Ebit of €133 mln, down by 26% vs Q3 '23, driven by a typical return to normal seasonality and the lower performance in the gas retail markets, balanced by the ramp-up in renewable installed capacity and related production volumes (in the nine months '24 reported a proforma adjusted Ebit of €524 mln, a 18% increase compared to a proforma adjusted Ebit of €445 mln in the nine months '23.

Proforma adjusted Ebitda amounted to €244 mln down by 14% vs Q3 '23 (€284 mln). In the nine months '24 reported a proforma adjusted Ebitda of €853 mln, compared to a proforma adjusted Ebitda of €753 mln in the nine months '23, up by 13%.

Net debt in Plenitude, consolidated into the results of Eni, stood at €1.7 bln (€2.4 bln as of December 31, 2023).

(a) From January 1, 2024, the benchmark refining margin has been calculated based on a new methodology which considers a revised industrial set-up in connection with the planned restructuring of the Livorno plant and implemented optimizations of utilities consumption, as well as current trends in crude supplies building in a slate of both high-sulfur and low-sulfur crudes.

Refining

• In Q3 '24, the Standard Eni Refining Margin averaged 1.7 \$/barrel vs. 11.7 \$/barrel in the comparative period mainly due to less favorable products crack spreads, pressured by weak demand, particularly in the industrial and construction sectors, and overcapacity (5.6 \$/barrel in the nine months '24, representing a decrease vs. 9.4 \$/barrel reported in the nine months '23, a 40% decrease impacted by the trend recovered in the Q2 '24).
• In Q3 '24, throughputs on own accounts at Eni's refineries in Italy were 3.29 mmtonnes, representing a decrease of 23% when compared to the same period of 2023, mainly reflecting lower volumes processed at Sannazzaro and Livorno refineries following the new set-up of the plant. Throughputs outside Italy decreased by 5% compared to Q3 '23 following lower volumes processed at ADNOC Refinery. In the nine months '24, throughputs decreased mainly in Italy (down by 17%) following the above-mentioned drivers.

Chemicals

• Sales of chemical products were 0.81 mmtonnes in Q3 '24, up by 6% compared to same period of the previous year. In the nine months '24, sales amounted to 2.43 mmtonnes, up by 4% vs. the nine months of '23.
• Margins on polyethylene and styrenics decreased, due to weak commodity prices and competitive dynamics.

Power

• Thermoelectric production amounted to 5.33 TWh in Q3 '24, up by 3% year-on-year mainly due to a positive industrial performance and a favorable power market scenario (14.56 TWh in the nine months '24, representing a reduction of 6% compared to the same period of 2023, due to a negative power market scenario).

• In Q3 '24, the Refining business delivered a proforma adjusted Ebit of €31 mln, lower than in Q3 '23, due to significantly weaker refining margins. The result included the ADNOC R&GT contribution. In the nine months '24, the business reported a proforma adjusted Ebit of €313 mln, below the nine months '23 result as the above-mentioned weaker refining margins and lower throughputs.
• The Chemical business, managed by Versalis, reported a proforma adjusted loss of €193 mln in Q3 '24, slightly lower than the one incurred in Q3 '23, amidst a continuing downturn in the European chemical sector, driven by macro headwinds and comparatively higher production costs in Europe vs other geographies, which reduced the competitiveness of Versalis productions with respect to US and Asian players in an oversupplied market. In the nine months '24, proforma adjusted Ebit was a loss of €583 mln (€377 mln loss in the nine months '23) reflecting exceptionally adverse market conditions.
• The Power generation business from gas-fired plants reported a proforma adjusted Ebit of €33 mln in Q3 '24, down by 15% year on year, mainly due to a lower demand expressed by the Italian Transmission System Operator in the ancillary services market. In the nine months '24, proforma adjusted Ebit was €83 mln, down by €42 mln compared to the nine months '23.

For the disclosure on business segment special charges, see "Special items" in the Group results section.

Strategic developments

• Eni finalized its transformation, decarbonization and relaunch plan for its chemicals business first announced in March. The plan will involve about €2 bln of investment and lead to an approximately 1 mln tonnes CO2 emissions reduction, around 40% of Versalis' total. Eni will invest in the development of new chemicals platforms in high value downstream activities such as renewables, circular and specialized products growing markets where Versalis has acquired a leading position while reducing exposure to basic chemicals. In addition, the transformation also includes developing new biorefining and energy storage manufacture on existing industrial sites. The plan is designed to recover profitability and to support a positive impact on employment aligning the business with Eni's technology-driven strategy that focuses on energy transition businesses with competitive advantages.
• In September, Versalis signed an agreement with Bridgestone and Gruppo BB&G aimed at establishing a closed-loop ecosystem to transform end-of-life tyres into new tyres. The partnership will develop a model for the creation of a scalable and increasingly sustainable supply chain.
• In October, in line with the implementation of circular economy initiatives, Versalis, in collaboration with Vesta, launched the new brand "ReUp" in the home décor and interior design sector with the aim to produce and sale plastic solutions obtained in whole or in part from renewable or recycled sources.

Sustainability developments

The main achievements of the Group strategy aiming at improving the ESG performance of Eni's industrial activities have been:

• As part of our consolidated stewardship of water resources, the Company has committed reaching net positive water impact in at least 30% of operated sites with consumption of freshwater higher than 0.5 Mm3/year in areas subject to water stress by 2035 and has set the ambition to reach net positive impact in all its operated sites by 2050, basing on the principles of the Positive Water Impact endorsed by the CEO Water Mandate initiative.
• On the occasion of the IEA-COP29 high-level event on Turning Methane Pledges Into Action, Eni has published its first dedicated "Methane Report 2024", a milestone that underscores the company's commitment to transparency and reducing global methane emissions, while reaffirming the goal of near zero methane emissions by 2030, basing on its track record of emissions reduction with Eni Group's direct methane emissions more than halved over the past six years (2018-2023) and Upstream methane intensity of 0.06% placing Eni among the leaders in the industry.
• Rating ESG: on the occasion of the yearly update (in August 2024) Moody's ESG Solutions further improved Eni's score and confirmed Eni positioning in the Advanced band, the highest one of the methodology, due to the relevant capabilities in managing ESG risks.

(a) For further information see table "Breakdown of special items".

• In Q3 '24, the Group reported proforma adjusted Ebit of €3,400 mln, down by 14% compared to the corresponding yearago quarter or €550 mln, due to deteriorated margins in the Refining business (down €400 mln), and a 5% decline in E&P (down by €180 mln) driven by lower realized prices, partly offset by production growth. In the nine months '24, the Group reported a proforma adjusted Ebit of €11,623 mln, down 17% compared to the nine months '23, due to the GGP segment (down by 66% y-o-y) benefitting from a more favorable trading environment in 2023 following the then particularly better market conditions and contractual one-offs, and a continuing industry downturn in the downstream sectors affected by weak demand and competitive pressures in an oversupplied market. These trends were offset by a resilient E&P performance due to production growth (up by 4%).
• In Q3 '24 adjusted profit before taxes was €2,656 mln, €609 mln lower than the Q3 '23, or 19%, reflecting the trend in the Group adjusted Ebit and lower net profits at Eni's equity-accounted entities.
• In Q3 '24 adjusted net profit attributable to Eni's shareholders of €1,271 mln was 30% lower than the Q3 '23. Compared to a smaller 19% y-o-y reduction in the pre-tax profit level, the contraction in adjusted net profit was affected by an increased Group tax rate of 51.4% (up from 43.7% in the year-ago quarter) due to the prevailing effect of the Upstream foreign taxation and a reduced pre-tax contribution of other sectors generally operating in OECD jurisdiction with lower tax rate.
• Nine months '24 special items of €1,673 mln comprise non-cash charges for E&P asset write-downs of €980 mln after tax, driven by a re-prioritization of investment capital away from future phases of the development of marginal properties and instead a focus on the core projects in the portfolio consistent with strategy, partly mitigated by an agreement to share environmental expenses with an Italian operator and a gain on the divestment of E&P's Nigeria onshore assets.

(a) Includes payables due to suppliers recognized as financing payables because of the deferral of payment terms and incurred in connection with expenditures to purchase plant and equipment (€1,628 million and €672 million in the nine months '24 and '23; €572 million and €483 million in Q3 '24 and '23, respectively).

Net cash provided by operating activities in the nine months '24 was €9,472 mln and included €1,409 mln of dividends distributed from Eni's investments, mainly Azule Energy, Vår Energi and ADNOC R&GT. It also benefitted of a greater amount of trade receivables divested to financial institutions due in future reporting periods, compared to the fourth quarter '23 (up by about €0.4 bln).

Adjusted net cash before changes in working capital at replacement cost was €10,701 mln in the nine months '24 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, the fair value of commodity derivatives lacking the formal criteria to be designated as hedges or prorated on an accrual basis.

In Q3 '24, cash flows relating to movements in the line item "issue of perpetual hybrid bond and interest payment" mainly included issuance of a perpetual subordinated hybrid bond (€1.59 bln) by one of the Group subsidiaries to specifically fund construction of FLNG vessels designated to be utilized on one of the Group's major projects.

A reconciliation of adjusted net cash before changes in working capital at replacement cost to net cash provided by operating activities is provided below:

Organic capex was €6.1 bln in the nine months '24 (down 9.2% y-o-y). Net of organic capex, the free cash flow ante working capital was €4.6 bln.

Cash outflows for acquisitions net of divestments were about €0.6 bln. Acquisitions related to the upstream operator Neptune Energy (€2.3 bln including acquired net debt), Plenitude's renewable assets, and a service stations network in Spain. Divestments comprised E&P Nigerian onshore assets, the sale of 10% of the share capital of Saipem, production licenses in Congo, as well as the Plenitude capital contribution of €0.6 bln following the finalization of the agreement with the EIP fund who acquired a minority interest (7.6%).

Net financial borrowings before IFRS 16 in the nine months '24 increased by around €2 bln due to the adjusted operating cash flow (€10.7 bln), the issuance of a hybrid bond (€1.6 bln) by one of the Group subsidiaries, net of adjusted working capital needs (around €1.3 bln), capex requirements of €6.1 bln, dividend payments to Eni's shareholders and share repurchases of €3.4 bln (€1.1 bln of share repurchases and €2.3 bln of dividends relating to the third and fourth instalments of the 2023 dividend, and the first tranche of the '24 dividend), the net cash outflow related to acquisitions and divestments (€0.6 bln), payables due to suppliers in connection with expenditures to purchase plant and equipment (€1.6 bln) classified as finance debt due to deferral of payments terms, as well as the payment of lease liabilities and hybrid bond interest (€0.9 bln) and other changes (€0.3 bln).

As of October 18, 2024, around 63 mln shares have been purchased, for a cash outlay of €0.9 bln as part of the '24 buyback program.

As of September 30, 2024, fixed assets (€83.2 bln) increased by €1.3 bln from January 1, 2024, due to capital expenditures and the acquisition of the Neptune Energy Group. These positives were offset by the divestment of Nigerian onshore assets finalized in August '24, as well as negative exchange rate translation differences (the period-end exchange rate of EUR vs. USD was 1.120, up 1.3% compared to 1.105 as of December 31, 2023), thus decreasing the book values of dollardenominated assets, as well as DD&A impairment charges and write-offs.

Shareholders' equity (€53.5 bln) was substantially unchanged from the end of 2023 due to the net profit for the period (€2.5 bln) and the issuance of a hybrid bond issued by a Group subsidiary (€1.6 bln) offset by shareholders remuneration of €3.4 bln (dividend distribution and share buyback) and negative foreign currency translation differences (about €0.7 bln) reflecting the depreciation of the USD vs. EUR. Non-controlling interests of €2.4 bln included as of September 30, 2024: i) a minority participating interest acquired by a private equity fund in the share capital of Plenitude (€0.4 bln); ii) a perpetual subordinated hybrid bond issued by a Group subsidiary (€1.6 bln) classified as equity since the Group retains an unconditional right to avoid transferring cash or other financial assets to the bondholders.

Net borrowings 4 before lease liabilities as of September 30, 2024, amounted to €11.6 bln, up by €2.1 bln from January 1, 2024.

Leverage 5 – the ratio of net borrowings to total equity before IFRS 16 – was 0.22 on September 30, 2024.

Special items

The breakdown of pre-tax special items recorded in operating profit by segment (net charges of €2,618 mln and €651 mln in the nine months and Q3 '24, respectively) is as follows:

• E&P: net charges of €1,468 mln in the nine months '24 (net charges of €65 mln in Q3 '24) mainly related to writedowns of oil&gas properties driven by alignment of a disposal group in Alaska to its fair value and a reserves revision at another oil asset; such assets review was part of a re-prioritization of investment capital away from future phases of the development of marginal properties and instead a focus on the core projects in the portfolio consistent with strategy.
• GGP: net charges of €1,675 mln in the nine months '24 (net charges of €357 mln in Q3 '24) relating to 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 (charges of €1,532 mln and €504 mln in the nine months '24 and Q3 '24, respectively); and 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 normal levels leveraging the seasonal spread in gas prices net of the effects of the associated commodity derivatives (charges of €15 mln and gains of €43 mln in the nine months '24 and Q3 '24, respectively).
• Enilive and Plenitude: net gains of €429 mln in the nine months '24 (net charges of €2 mln in Q3 '24) mainly related to the fair values of commodity derivatives lacking the formal criteria to be classified as hedges under IFRS relating exposure to the gas commodity.
• Refining, Chemicals and Power: net charges of €263 mln in the nine months '24 (net charges of €216 mln in Q3 '24) mainly related to the writedown of capital expenditures made for compliance and stay-in-business at certain CGU with expected negative cash flows in both the Refining and the Chemicals businesses (€286 mln and €118 mln in the two accounting periods, respectively), and other charges, which were offset by a gain of €184 mln due to an agreement covering certain environmental matters as described below.
• Corporate and other activities: a net gain of €359 mln in the nine months '24 (net charges of €11 mln in Q3 '24) mainly related to the signing of a comprehensive agreement with an Italian operator enabling a 50-50 sharing of the environmental costs spent in several Italian sites which were jointly managed in late eighties' – early nineties' by the two partners, after that cleaning up and environmental activities have been fully carried out by or provisioned Eni at 100%.

The other special items in the nine months '24 related to gains in connection to the divestment of Nigerian onshore assets (€0.4 bln) and the sale of a 10% stake in the equity interests of Eni's interest in Saipem (€0.2 bln).

Other information, basis of presentation and disclaimer

This press release on Eni's results for the third quarter and the nine months of 2024 has been prepared on a voluntary basis according to article 82‐ ter, Regulations on issuers (CONSOB Regulation No. 11971 of May 14, 1999, and subsequent amendments and inclusions). The disclosure of results and business trends on a quarterly basis is consistent with Eni's policy to provide the market and investors with regular information about the Company's financial and industrial performances and business prospects considering the reporting policy followed by oil&gas peers who are communicating results on quarterly basis.

Results and cash flow are presented for the second and third quarter of 2024, the nine months of 2024 and for the third quarter and the nine months of 2023. Information on the Company's financial position relates to end of the periods as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Accounts set forth herein have been prepared in accordance with the evaluation and recognition criteria set by the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the European Commission according to the procedure set forth in Article 6 of the European Regulation (CE) No. 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and European Council of July 19, 2002. These criteria are unchanged from the 2023 Annual Report on Form 20‐F filed with the US SEC on April 5, 2024, which investors are urged to read.

From January 1, 2024, the benchmark refining margin "SERM" has been calculated based on a new methodology which considers a revised industrial set-up in connection with the planned restructuring of the Livorno plant and implemented optimizations of utilities consumption, as well as current trends in crude supplies building in a slate of both high-sulfur and low sulfur crudes. The restated values of the SERM indicator of the comparative 2023 quarters and 2024 full-year guidance are provided in the table below.

Basis of presentation

From January 1, 2024, the Eni segment information tracked by the management is articulated as follows:

• Exploration & Production "E&P";
• Global Gas & LNG Portfolio "GGP";
• Enilive and Plenitude;
• Refining , chemical activities managed by Versalis and Power (production of electricity from gas-fired plants);
• Corporate, financial companies, business support companies, CCS activities and agribusiness.

The aggregation of Enilive (biorefining and retail sale of sustainable mobility products) and Plenitude (retail sale of energy commodities and value added services, production of electricity from renewable sources and management of the network of EV charging stations) in a single reporting segment is motivated by the fact that the two businesses exhibit similar economic characteristics, have a prevalent retail activity as customer-facing segments with a wide range of opportunities for cross-selling, as well as by the common strategic goal to decarbonize customers' CO2 emissions and the attractiveness of dedicated capital.

The Power business, given its less significant relevance in proportion to the Group's main economic and financial figures, has been aggregated with the operating segments with which it shares industrial similarities.

The re-segmentation of the adjusted operating profit for the comparative periods of 2023 is disclosed below:

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 noncontrolling 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, financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss and financing receivables held for non-operating purposes. Financial activities are qualified as "not related to operations" when these are not strictly related to the business operations.

Proforma adjusted EBIT

Is the measure adding the operating margin of the equity accounted entities to the adjusted EBIT, introduced by the management to reflect the increasing contribution from the JV/associates also in connection with the Eni satellite model.

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.
