Strategic Plan

The Board of Directors of Saipem S.p.A. has approved the Strategic Plan, which identifies a series of measures that will allow the Company to face more challenging market conditions, with the recovery expected to take longer than previously estimated.

Refocusing the business portfolio, de-risking operations, optimizing costs, making processes more efficient, and emphasising technology and innovation, are all reaffirmed as the basis of the Group's strategy.

To achieve these objectives, it has been decided to adopt a new, leaner, more effective and more efficient organizational model, aimed at entrusting individual businesses with greater responsibility for project outcomes and performance. This will allow for increased decision-making agility, greater consistency between responsibility for results and attribution of decision making levers, complete autonomy in the identification of priorities, and greater focus on project execution.

Five divisions/companies will be created for the following sectors: Offshore Construction; Onshore Construction; Offshore Drilling; Onshore Drilling, and a new entity dedicated to high added value engineering activities and services, aimed at improving the offer in a structured way and bring the Company ever closer to its Clients' needs.

As well as generating greater efficiency in its European based facilities (reduction in headcount of around 800), thanks to the new and leaner operating processes the new organization will lead to a better deployment of human resources competences within the Group. This in turn will enable a process of professional growth - vital for ensuring the retention of key resources - which the economic downturn in the sector has impeded, at least in part. Moreover it will permit maximum flexibility in the evaluation of strategic options for each individual business sector.

The Strategic Plan also includes rationalization of the asset base, mainly concerning a number of vessels and rigs in the Drilling and Offshore E&C sectors, in addition to several yards in the Offshore and Onshore E&C sectors.

Guidance 2017

• o Revenues: ~ €10 billion
• o EBITDA: ~ €1 billion
• o Net profit: > €200 million (inclusive of approximately €30 million for reorganization costs)
• o Capital expenditure: ~ €0.4 billion
• o Net debt: < €1.4 billion

Stefano Cao, Saipem CEO, commented:

"In the first nine months of 2016, we achieved results that are both encouraging and in line with expectations, thanks to solid performances by both the Offshore E&C and Drilling sectors, the latter still benefiting from long-term contracts. In the third quarter, alongside our commitment to continuing our already planned efficiency measures, we saw a positive downtrend in net debt, the completion of the inaugural bond issue and a strong performance in terms of new contract awards. This has enabled us to confirm the guidance previously provided for 2016.

The downturn in our sector, which is lasting longer than initially expected, has affected market prospects and requires reduction in the value of the Company's asset base.

The Strategic Plan that we have just approved aims to respond to these challenges through the adoption of a new organizational model. This provides for the creation of five divisions/companies dedicated to the following sectors: Offshore Construction; Onshore Construction; Offshore Drilling; Onshore Drilling, and a new entity providing high added value engineering activities and services which will allow Saipem to improve its offer in a structured way and satisfy Client needs even more effectively.

This industrial strategy follows on from and completes the extraordinary measures carried out this year, such as the change in shareholding structure, the capital increase and the refinancing of the debt, all of which have enabled the Company to achieve solid financial stability".

Revenues and associated profit levels are not consistent over time, as they are influenced not only by market performance but also by climatic conditions and individual project schedules in the Engineering and Construction sector, and by contract expiry and renegotiation timing in the Drilling sector.

Results for the first nine months of 2016

In the first nine months of 2016, Saipem achieved positive results, despite the still challenging market conditions.

Revenues amounted to €7.9 billion, a slight decrease (-6.6%) compared to the first nine months of 2015. Adjusted EBIT in the first nine months amounted to €479 million, thanks to the excellent operative performance of the Offshore Engineering & Construction BU and the resilience of the Offshore Drilling BU, which is still benefiting from long-term contracts acquired at more favourable market rates than present ones.

Adjusted net profit in the first nine months amounted to €200 million.

Capital expenditure in the first nine months amounted to €167 million (€407 million in the first nine months of 2015), of which €70 million in the third quarter (€139 million in the third quarter of 2015), and relating mainly to the maintenance and upgrading of the existing asset base, as follows:

• €30 million in Offshore Engineering & Construction;
• €2 million in Onshore Engineering & Construction;
• €19 million in Offshore Drilling;
• €19 million in Onshore Drilling.

Net financial debt at September 30, 2016 amounted to €1,673 million, down from December 31, 2015 (€5,390 million). This decrease is due to the share capital increase operation which was completed in the first quarter of 2016 as well as the cash flow generated in the first nine months of 2016.

Backlog

During the first nine months of 2016, Saipem was awarded new contracts amounting to €6,627 million (€5,357 million in the first nine months of 2015). Saipem's backlog at September 30, 2016 stood at €14,588 million (€7,046 million in Offshore E&C, €5,030 million in Onshore E&C and €2,512 million in Drilling), of which €1,850 million is due to be realized in 2016.

2016 Guidance

The guidance announced with the publication of the results for the first half of 2016 is confirmed as follows:

• o Revenues: ~ €10.5 billion
• o Adjusted operating profit (EBIT): ~ €0.6 billion
• o Adjusted net profit: ~ €0.25 billion
• o Capital expenditure: < €0.4 billion
• o Net debt: ~ €1.5 billion

Reported net profit

When compared to adjusted net profit, reported net profit, amounting to -€1,925 million (-€866 million in the first nine months of 2015), was reduced by the following special items:

• asset write-downs resulting from the Strategic Plan and subsequent preliminary impairment test1 : €1,981 million (€204 million in the first nine months of 2015)
• write-off of overdue receivables in the Onshore Drilling sector: €144 million (€100 million in the first nine months of 2015)

The special items relating to the reported result are as follows:

• In Offshore Drilling, several vessels, mainly semi-submersible platforms, have been partially written down following preliminary impairment tests; furthermore, two jack-ups and a semi-submersible platform have been fully written down, as the possibility of using them in the framework of the Strategic Plan is not contemplated. The estimated impact is about €1.1 billion;

• In Onshore Drilling, several drilling rigs have been partially written down following preliminary impairment tests; furthermore, the assets based in a Latin American country have been fully written down, as the possibility of using them in the framework of the Strategic Plan is not contemplated. The estimated impact is about €0.2 billion;

• In Offshore E&C, a vessel has been fully written down, as the possibility of using it in the framework of the Strategic Plan is not contemplated; two FPSOs have been partially written down following preliminary impairment tests. Furthermore, several fabrication yards with reduced prospects for use in the framework of the Strategic Plan have been partially written down. The estimated impact is about €0.4 billion;

• In Onshore E&C, a fabrication yard has been fully written down due to lack of prospects for use in the framework of the Strategic Plan, and a logistical base has been partially written down. The estimated impact is about €0.1 billion;

• Due to the above write-downs, as well as to the reduction in activities and margins in several countries, the related fiscal assets have consequently also been written down. The estimated impact is about €0.2 billion.

¹ The final impairment test will be performed on actual results and will be released in February 2017.

This press release should be read jointly with the condensed interim consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2016 and the statutory and consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2015 of Saipem S.p.A., which are already available on the Company's website (www.saipem.com) under the section "Investor Relations – Financial Statements".

***

Publication of these nine monthly financial statements as of September 30, 2016 was done in continuity with the past while awaiting the complete definition of the regulatory framework.

Saipem's Planning, Administration and Control Officer, Mr Mariano Avanzi, in his capacity as manager responsible for the preparation of the Company's financial reports, certifies, pursuant to article 154-bis paragraph 2 of Legislative Decree no. 58/1998, that accounting data corresponds to the Company's documents and accounting books and entries.

By their nature, forward-looking statements are subject to risk and uncertainty since they are dependent upon circumstances which should or are considered likely to occur in the future and are outside of the Company's control. These include, but are not limited to: monetary exchange and interest rate fluctuations, commodity price volatility, credit and liquidity risks, HSE risks, the levels of capital expenditure in the oil and gas industry and other sectors, political instability in areas where the Group operates, actions by competitors, success of commercial transactions, risks associated with the execution of projects (including ongoing investment projects), in addition to changes in stakeholders' expectations and other changes affecting business conditions. Actual results could therefore differ materially from the forward-looking statements. The financial reports contain in-depth analyses of some of the aforementioned risks. Forward-looking statements are to be considered in the context of the date of their release.

Backlog at September 30, 2016: €7,046 million, of which €923 million is due to be realized in 2016.

• Revenues for the first nine months of 2016 amounted to €4,552 million, down 10.9% compared to the same period in 2015. This was mainly attributable to lower volumes recorded in the Middle East, Australia and Russia, which were largely offset by higher volumes recorded in Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan.
• The adjusted operating result for the first nine months of 2016 amounted to €310 million, equal to 6.8% of revenues, versus €73 million, equal to 1.4% of revenues, in the first nine months of 2015. The improvement is due mainly to the greater contribution of projects under execution in Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan. The EBITDA margin stood at 10.9% compared to 5.9% for the same period of 2015.
• The most significant contracts awarded in the third quarter include:
• on behalf of Petrobel, the project for the development of the Zohr "supergiant" gas field, located off the Egyptian coast in the Mediterranean sea. The EPCI contract encompasses the installation of a gas export pipeline and service pipelines, as well as EPCI work for the field development in deep water of 6 wells and the installation of umbilical cables;
• on behalf of BP Berau Ltd, offshore work in Indonesia on the Tangguh LNG Expansion Project. The EPCI contract encompasses the engineering, procurement, construction and installation of two unmanned platforms and subsea pipelines.

Backlog at September 30, 2016: €5,030 million, of which €702 million is due to be realized in 2016.

• Revenues for the first nine months of 2016 amounted to €2,199 million, up 13.7% compared to the same period in 2015, characterized by a significant decrease in revenue estimates on various contracts in North America, Australia and West Africa. Greater volumes of activities were recorded in the Middle East.
• The adjusted operating result for the first nine months of 2016 amounted to €2 million, versus a loss of €701 million in the first nine months of 2015, which included the above-mentioned estimate corrections. The near-break-even result achieved in the first nine months of 2016 was negatively affected by provisions set aside in the second quarter for a legal dispute, amounting to approximately €15 million.
• In the third quarter of 2016, Saipem was awarded a contract by BP Berau Ltd for onshore work in Indonesia on the Tangguh LNG Expansion Project. The EPC contract encompasses the construction of an onshore LNG plant with a liquefaction capacity of 3.8 million tons per annum, utilities, offsites, an LNG jetty and associated infrastructures.

Backlog at September 30, 2016: €1,402 million, of which €133 million is due to be realized in 2016.

• Revenues for the first nine months of 2016 amounted to €720 million, representing an 11.1% decrease compared to the same period of 2015, mainly attributable to reduced revenues from the drillship Saipem 12000 due to the early closure of a contract, and reduced revenues from the semisubmersible rig Scarabeo 6, which underwent class reinstatement works in the first quarter and was not under contract in the following six months. In addition, the semi-submersible rigs Scarabeo 3 and Scarabeo 4, which had both been in operation for most of the first nine months of 2015, were either idle or scrapped in 2016. The decrease was slightly offset by increased revenues from the full-scale operations of the drillship Saipem 10000 and the jack-ups Perro Negro 2 and Perro Negro 8, which had undergone upgrading works in the first nine months of 2015.
• The adjusted operating result for the first nine months of 2016 amounted to €189 million, compared to €232 million in the first nine months of 2015, with a margin on revenues of 26.3%, approximately 2% lower than in the same period for 2015, due to reduced revenues from the rigs that had not been under contract or were undergoing maintenance works during the period. The decrease was partly offset by the increased operational efficiency achieved by the semi-submersible rigs Scarabeo 7 and Scarabeo 8. The EBITDA margin stood at 49.9%, in line with the 49.4% achieved in the first nine months of 2015.

Vessel utilization in the first nine months of 2016, and the impact of programmed maintenance and nonoperating periods in 2016, are as follows:

Backlog at September 30, 2016: €1,110 million, of which €92 million is due to be realized in 2016.

• Revenues for the first nine months of 2016 amounted to €414 million, a 30.1% decrease on the first nine months of 2015, due mainly to reduced volumes recorded in South America on account of the oil market crisis having greatly affected the local economies.
• The adjusted operating result for the first nine months of 2016 amounted to a loss of €22 million compared to a profit of €60 million in the first nine months of 2015, due to an increase in the costs of idle rigs in South America. Adjusted EBITDA was 26.8%.
• Acquisitions in the third quarter include new contracts and extensions to existing contracts in the Middle East and South America. Specifically, Saipem was awarded:
• a three-year extension for works relating to operations by 10 drilling rigs in Saudi Arabia;
• various extensions, ranging from 2 to 24 months in duration, for medium to high-power rigs in Peru, Colombia and Chile;
• a new 18-month contract for the lease of a hydraulic rig in Argentina.

Average utilization of rigs in the third quarter of 2016 was 66.7% (92.3% in the same quarter of 2015). As of September 30, 2016, Company-owned rigs amounted to 100, located as follows: 28 in Saudi Arabia, 28 in Venezuela, 19 in Peru, 6 in Colombia, 4 in Ecuador, 5 in Kazakhstan, 3 in Bolivia, 2 in Chile, 1 in Italy, 1 in the Congo, 1 in Morocco, 1 in Kuwait and 1 in Tunisia.

In addition, 2 units owned by third parties were used in Peru, 1 third-party unit was used in the Congo, and 1 in Chile.
