Fact Book 201 7

Eni's Fact Book is a supplement to Eni's Integrated Annual Report and is designed to provide supplemental financial and operating information. It contains certain forward-looking statements regarding capital expenditure, dividends, allocation of future cash flow from operations, evolution of financial structure, future operating performance, targets of production and sale growth, execution of projects. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will or may occur in the future. Actual results may differ from those expressed in such statements, depending on a variety of factors, including the timing of bringing new oil&gas fields on stream; management's ability in carrying out industrial plans and in succeeding in commercial transactions; future levels of industry product supply; demand and pricing of oil, gas and refined products; operational problems; general economic conditions; geopolitical factors including international tensions, social and political instability, changes in the economic and legal frameworks in Eni's Countries of operations, regulation of the oil&gas industry, power generation and environmental field, development and use of new technologies; changes in public expectations and other changes in business conditions; the actions of competitors.

ENI AT A GLANCE

2017 RESULTS

In 2017 Eni delivered outstanding results proving the effectiveness of the deep transformation process started in 2014. As a result of this, the Company is now on a strong footing and is able to create value even in the most difficult market conditions, such as the last price downturn that was among the most severe ever affecting the oil&gas industry. Adjusted operating profit more than doubled to €5.8 billion, with a net profit of €2.4 billion reverting the loss incurred in 2016, thanks to the growth in the upstream segment and the restructuring of the mid-downstream businesses. Cash flow from operating activities was robust at €10 billion, a 25% increase from 2016, when netted of advances cashed in by Egyptian State-owned partners with the aim of financing their capex share in the Zohr project. These inflows, after funding net capex of €7.6 billion, yielded a surplus of approximately €2.4 billion.

These results helped us reduce our target Brent price of cash neutrality to 57 \$/bbl, 50% lower than the price that allowed us achieve in 2014 full coverage of capex and cash dividend with funds from operations. At the end of 2017, Eni confirms a solid financial structure with a gearing of 18%, the lower end of the European peer group and a leverage of 0.23 well below the 0.30 threshold notwithstanding price downturn in the last three years and a half, and over €11 billion of cash dividend paid in the same period.

UPSTREAM

Dual Exploration Model

Closed the 40% disposal of the super-giant Zohr gas field in Egypt offshore – through two different transactions with BP (10%) and Rosneft (30%) – and the 25% disposal of Area 4 in Mozambique to ExxonMobil. In March 2018, signed an agreement with Mubadala Petroleum for the divestment of a further 10% interest in Zohr.

Zohr development

Achieved production start-up at the supergiant Zohr gas field in record time-to-market: in less than two years from the FID and two and a half years from discovery.

Exploration resources

In 2017 added 1 bln boe of new resources, of which 0.8 bln boe from in house exploration with a discovery cost of approximately 1 \$/bbl.

Mexico

Successfully completed the exploration campaign offshore Area 1, thanks to the appraisal of Tecoalli discovery which followed that of Amoca and Miztòn, resulting in a rise in estimated hydrocarbons in place of the Area to 2 bln boe, of which approximately 90% oil. Scheduled a fast-track development plan.

Exploration portfolio

  • Reloading of approximately 97,000 square kilometers of new acreage:
  • awarded 50% of the mineral rights of the Isatay Block in the Kazakh Caspian Sea;

  • signed an Exploration and Production Sharing Agreement (EPSA) of Block 52, offshore Oman;

  • acquired new exploration licenses in Morocco, Mexico, Cyprus and Ivory Coast.

Proved hydrocarbon reserves

7 billion boe with an organic replacement ratio of 103%. The ratio increases to 151% when excluding the reclassification of PUD reserves to the unproved category in Venezuela in accordance with the applicable US SEC regulation.

Coral project

Sanctioned by the partners the development project for the exclusive reserves in Area 4 in Mozambique amounting to 16 Tcf in place. The Floating LNG facilities construction will be realized through a multisource project financing of \$4.7 billion.

International development in the Chemical business

Completed, in South Korea, the construction of the industrial complex for production of premium elastomers, leveraging on Versalis technology and through the 50:50 joint venture Versalis - Lotte Chemical, local operator.

Licensing EST technology

Enhanced the refining know-how through two licensing agreements with the Chinese companies Sinopec and Zhejiang Petrochemicals for the use of the Eni Slurry Technology (EST) conversion proprietary technology.

MID-DOWNSTREAM

MID-DOWNSTREAM RESTRUCTURING CUMULATIVE CFFO

Renewable energies

Eni's committment for renewable energies was implemented by the start-up of operations for the set-up of plants in Italy and Algeria and the development of other initiatives in Italy and abroad. Signed the collaboration agreement with General Electric and with the Kazakh Ministry of Energy; finalized a Memorandum of Understanding with the Egyptian Ministry of Electricity to jointly realize new renewable plants.

Safety of Eni's people

Total recordable injury rate (TRIR) reported a decrease of 6.8% vs. 2016. The reduction for the employees (down by 17.2%) and the contractors (down by 2%) was driven by specific program of education and awareness addressed to Eni's people. In 2017, was launched the new Safety Training Center in Gela for training in health, safety and environmental issues.

Climate change

Accordingly to Eni's carbon footprint reduction strategy, the development program on renewables was implemented by 20 projects on an executive phase or near to FID, which will contribute to increase Eni's generation capacity by around 250 MW. Furthermore, Eni is part of the TCFD (Task Force on Climaterelated Financial Disclosures) of the Financial Stability Board, targeted to a more trasparent disclosure about risks and opportunities relating to the climate change.

Commitment to flaring reduction

Eni joins the Global Gas Flaring Reduction Partnership (GGFR),

sponsored by the World Bank, a public-private initiative involving international oil companies, governments and international institutions. Eni reduced gas flaring of approximately 68% in the last ten years and promoted access to energy for over 18 million people in the Sub-Saharan Africa.

GHG emissions

GHG emissions increased by 2.5% vs. 2016 due to the production growth. GHG emission index per barrel produced was down by approximately 3% vs. 2016 and by 19% vs. 2014 in accordance with the long-term target of a 43% reduction by 2025.

Oil spills due to operations

Oil spills due to operations (higher than one barrel), 94% of which relating to the E&P segment, more than doubled from 2016. This was mainly due to the spill from a tank located in COVA in Val d'Agri where the Company implemented all the remediation actions to reduce the environmental damage and to prevent any future accident through infrastructure upgrading.

Human rights

Started in 2017 the working group on Human Rights in the business supported by the Danish Institute for Human Rights. The comparison between Company's processes and the International Standards (UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights) allowed the definition of a roadmap aimed at further improvement of Eni's performance on Human Rights.

ENI'S SHARE PERFORMANCE VS. MAIN OIL&GAS COMPANIES (last 12 months)

EXPLORATION & PRODUCTION

PERFORMANCE OF THE YEAR

  • ● In 2017, safety performance continued on a positive trend, with a total recordable injury rate of 0.28, down by 18% from 2016. New training and continuing education initiatives as well as HSE awareness programs have been developed. Eni is engaged in maintaining a high safety standard in each of its operations.
  • ● Upstream GHG intensity index was positive with a reduction of approximately 3% from 2016 leveraging on the continuous improvements in energy efficiency and planned initiatives to contain fugitive emissions due to ongoing maintenance of production sites and programs to improve plant set-up. These results confirm that we are well on track on our long-term targets of a reduction of 43% in 2025 vs. 2014.
  • ● Water re-injection was 59% in 2017, leveraging on the ongoing programs in certain operational plants, in particular in Congo, Egypt and Ecuador as well as restart of certain production plants in Libya.
  • ● In 2017 the E&P segment reported more than double of adjusted operating profit and more than four-fold increase of adjusted net profit compared to 2016. This performance was driven by the recovery in crude oil prices (with the Brent price up by 24%), production growth and significant reduction of tax rate.
  • ● 2017 oil and natural gas production was a record level of 1.82 million boe/d, up by 3.2% compared to the previous year. In December 2017, production reached 1.92 million boe/d, marking an all-time high for Eni. Start-ups and ramp-ups added 243 kboe/d to the production level of 2017. Expected a 4% growth rate in 2018 full-year production.
  • ● Net proved reserves at December 31, 2017 amounted to 7 bboe based on a reference Brent price of \$54 per barrel. The organic reserves replacement ratio was 103%. The ratio increased to 151% when excluding the reclassification of proved undeveloped reserves in Venezuela to the unproved category in accordance with the applicable US SEC regulation. The reserves life index was 10.5 years (11.6 years in 2016).

THE ZOHR PROJECT START-UP

Eni achieved production start-up of the super-giant Zohr gas field in a record time-to-market, in less than two years from the FID and two and a half years from discovery. The Zohr project is one of Eni's seven record-breaking project that were performed by means of the achievement of integrated model of exploration and development implemented over the last few years. Leveraging on parallelizing exploration, appraisal and development phases, we achieve a faster

time-to-market and a lower cost to production start-up of discoveries. The Zohr discovery is located in the Shorouk offshore block (Eni operator with a 60% interest) in Egypt offshore with estimated resources of over 30 Tcf gas in place (approximately 5.5 billion boe).

DUAL EXPLORATION MODEL

The Dual Exploration Model is a pillar of Eni's strategy which aims to create cash flow in advance of exploration successes by means of the partial diluition of the stakes in exploration leases where Eni retains the operatorship and control of the asset. During the year the following dispoals were closed with this approach:

  • an overall 50% stake of the Zohr giant discovery. In particular, in 2017, closed the disposal of 10% stake to BP and 30% stake to Rosneft. In March 2018 signed an agreement with Mubadala Petroleum for the divestment of an additional 10% interest. The transaction is subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions and all necessary authorizations from Egypt's Authorities;
  • a 25% indirect interest in the Area 4 block, offshore Mozambique, to ExxonMobil.

EXPLORATION ACTIVITY

● Exploration activity is also a distinctive approach of Eni's upstream model, ensuring a large amount of resources at low costs, flexibility in the short-term and fueling growth over the long-term. In 2017 additions to the Company's reserve backlog were 1 billion boe of new resources, of which 800 million boe from in-house exploration with a discovery cost of approximately \$1 per barrel.

From 2014, we discovered over 4 billion boe, approximately double of equity production in the same period.

  • ● In February 2018, exploration activities yielded positive results with the Calypso 1 gas discovery in the Block 6 (Eni operator with a 50% interest) in the offshore of Cyprus. The first data collection marks a promising gas discovery and confirms the extension of the Zohr like play.
  • ● In February 2018, signed two Exploration and Production Agreements with the Republic of Lebanon covering Blocks 4 and 9, located in the deep offshore Lebanon. Eni holds a 40% interest in both blocks.
  • ● In Oman, signed with the Government of the Sultanate and the state oil company OOCEP an Exploration and Production Sharing Agreement for the Block 52, located offshore Oman. In addition,

at the same time, Eni signed an agreement to assign interest in the block to the Qatar Petroleum oil company. The agreement is subject to approval by the relevant Authorities of the country. Following approval of these agreements, Eni will retain the operatorship of the block with a 55% interest.

  • ● In Kazakhstan, signed an agreement with the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the state oil company KMG for the transfer to Eni of the 50% stake for exploration and production activities in the Isatay block located in the Kazakh sector of the Caspian Sea. The block will be operated by a joint operating company established by KMG and Eni on a 50/50 basis. Eni will leverage on its proprietary technologies, significant experience in exploration activities and an extensive know-how in challenging technical and environmental areas such as the Caspian Basin.
  • ● Finalized in March 2017, a farm-in agreement to acquire a 50% interest of Block 11, offshore Cyprus, which will be operated by Total. The exploration area covers 2,215 square kilometers, nearby the Zohr discovery.
  • ● Successfully completed the exploration campaign in Area 1, offshore Mexico. Exploration successes and the modelling reservoir revision resulted in a rise in estimated hydrocarbons in place of the block to 2 billion boe, of which approximately 90% oil. Eni submitted an integrated development plan of all the three discoveries to the relevant Authorities. Production start-up is expected in 2019.
  • ● The exploration portfolio was renewed by means of new exploration acreage covering over 97,000 square kilometers net to Eni in Cyprus, Ivory Coast, Morocco and Mexico as well as Kazakhstan and Oman, as mentioned above.
  • ● In 2017, exploration expenditure amounted to €442 million, and mainly concerned Cyprus, Norway, Mexico, Egypt, Libya and Ivory Coast as well as related to the completion of the 25 new exploratory wells (15.9 net to Eni). In addition, 78 exploratory drilled wells are in progress at year-end (41.2 net to Eni).

SUSTAINABILITY AND PORTFOLIO DEVELOPMENTS

  • ● Production start-up was achieved earlier than scheduled at the operated project of East Hub in Angola, Offshore Cape Three Points (OCTP) in Ghana, Jangkrik in Indonesia and Zohr giant field, as mentioned above. The success of Eni's model is mainly due to the high number of operated projects with a production of over 3.6 million boe/day, which is necessary for planning a fast-track approach in all the design phases, from appraisal, engineering and finally development and achieving high control of project costs, time and risks.
  • ● In March 2018, Eni signed two Concession Agreements related to the acquisition of a 5% interest in the Lower Zakum oil field and a 10% interest in the Umm Shaif and Nasr oil, condensates and natural gas fields, in the offshore of Abu Dhabi, for a consideration of \$875 million with duration of 40 years.
  • ● Acquired a 32.5% interest of the Evans Shoal gas field in the NT/ RL7 offshore license in the north of Australia, nearby the Darwin liquefaction gas plant, where Eni holds interests. Mineral potential

is estimated in approximately 8 Tcf of gas in place. The agreement received all necessary approvals. Following this acquisition Eni retains the operatorship with a 65% interest.

  • ● Signed with the Sonangol state oil company an agreement to the transfer to Eni a 48% interest of the Cabinda North onshore block in Angola, where Eni held a 15% interest. Following the agreement, Eni retains the operatorship of the block. The block is located in an oil basin few explored in the north of the country, where Eni will leverage on the mining knowledge acquired in exploration and development activities progressed in nearby areas of the Republic of Congo. In case of exploration success, the block will benefit from the existing infrastructures. In addition, Eni and Sonangol signed a Memorandum of Understanding to define joint projects throughout the value chain of the energy sector.
  • ● Sanctioned the development program of the Johan Castberg field (Eni's interest 30%) in the Norwegian offshore, with estimated resources of approximately 450-650 million boe. Start-up is expected in 2022.
  • ● Achieved the financial close of project financing for the construction of a floating unit for the liquefaction of natural gas (FLNG) at the Coral South discovery. The Coral South FLNG is the first project sanctioned by Eni and its partner of the Area 4 block for the development of the large amount of gas discovery in the Rovuma Basin, in offshore Mozambique.
  • ● Eni's integrated long-term strategy to perform its path to the decarbonization is leveraging on the reduction of direct CO2 emissions and further increase in the operating activities efficiency; sustaining projects portfolio with low CO2 emissions, supporting the development of natural gas as a transition source for power generation as well as the integration of the traditional business with the generation of energy from renewable sources leveraging all the industrial, logistic, contractual and commercial synergies. Eni's commitment to achieve these targets is confirmed by the recent agreements in Algeria, Angola and Ghana as well as by ongoing projects in particular in Mozambique, Egypt and Indonesia.
  • ● The business sustainability over the medium-long-term is a pillar in Eni's growth strategy with programs to support local development further increasingly integrated into business activity. In particular, Eni is committed to the development of access to efficient and sustainable energy also by means of support for local power generation capacity and to sustainable industrial and economic development with know-how and technology sharing program as well as health, education and professional training initiatives. The key factor in the long-term strategy is linking our business development to the growth of the countries in which we operate.
  • ● Development expenditure was €7,236 million to fuel the growth of major projects and to maintain production plateau particularly in Egypt, Ghana, Angola, Congo, Algeria, Iraq and Norway. Capex for the full year 2017 was netted of the disposals agreement of the Dual Exploration Model to €6 billion, down by 16% from 2016, on homogenous basis.
  • ● In 2017, overall R&D expenditure of the Exploration & Production segment amounted to €83 million (€62 million in 2016).

(a) Results of operations from oil and gas producing activities represent only those revenues and expenses directly associated with such activities, including operating overheads. These amounts do not include any allocation of interest expenses or general corporate overheads and, therefore, are not necessarily indicative of the contributions to consolidated net earnings of Eni. Related income taxes are calculated by applying the local income tax rates to the pre-tax income from production activities. Eni is party to certain Production Sharing Agreements (PSAs), whereby a portion of Eni's share of oil and gas production is withheld and sold by its joint venture partners which are state owned entities, with proceeds being remitted to the state to meet Eni's PSA related tax liabilities. Revenue and income taxes include such taxes owed by Eni but paid by state-owned entities out of Eni's share of oil and gas production. (b) Includes asset impairment reversals amounting to €158 million.

(a) Estimated future cash inflows represent the revenues that would be received from production and are determined by applying the year-end average prices during the years ended. Future price changes are considered only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements. Estimated future development and production costs are determined by estimating the expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves at the end of the year. Neither the effects of price and cost escalations nor expected future changes in technology and operating practices have been considered. The standardized measure is calculated as the excess of future cash inflows from proved reserves less future costs of producing and developing the reserves, future income taxes and a yearly 10% discount factor. Future production costs include the estimated expenditures related to the production of proved reserves plus any production taxes without consideration of future inflation. Future development costs include the estimated costs of drilling development wells and installation of production facilities, plus the net costs associated with dismantlement and abandonment of wells and facilities, under the assumption that year-end costs continue without considering future inflation. Future income taxes were calculated in accordance with the tax laws of the countries in which Eni operates. The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows, related to the preceding proved oil and gas reserves, is calculated in accordance with the requirements of FASB Extractive Activities — Oil & Gas (Topic 932). The standardized measure does not purport to reflect realizable values or fair market value of Eni's proved reserves. An estimate of fair value would also take into account, among other things, hydrocarbon resources other than proved reserves, anticipated changes in future prices and costs and a discount factor representative of the risks inherent in the oil and gas exploration and production activity.

MARKETING

1. Natural gas

Supply

The supply of natural gas is a free activity where prices are determined by free negotiations of demand and supply involving natural gas

resellers and producers. In order to secure mid and long-term access to gas availability, Eni has signed a number of long-term gas supply contracts with key producing Countries that supply the European gas markets. In recent years Eni renegotiated a number of the main long-term supply contracts, thus better aligning gas prices and related trends to market conditions 90% of supply concracts. Eni could also leverage on the availability of natural gas deriving from equity production, the access to all phases of the LNG

chain (liquefaction, shipping and regasification) and to other gas infrastructures, and by trading and risk management activity. Eni's long-term gas requirements are met by long-term natural gas supply contracts or holds upstream activities and by access to continental Europe's spot markets.

In 2017, Eni's consolidated subsidiaries supplied 78.28 bcm of natural gas, down by 4.36 bcm or by 5.3% from 2016. Gas volumes supplied outside Italy from consolidated subsidiaries (73.23 bcm), imported in Italy or sold outside Italy, represented approximately 94% of total supplies, down by 3.41 bcm or by 4.4% from 2016. This reflected lower volumes purchased in the Netherlands (down by 4.40 bcm) following a contractual termination, in Qatar (down by 0.92 bcm) and in Norway (down by 0.70 bcm) partially offset by higher purchases in the United Kingdom (up by 0.28 bcm) and in Algeria (up by 0.28 bcm). Supplies in Italy (5.05 bcm) decreased by 15.8% from 2016 due to lower supplied gas volumes from equity production.

GAS & POWER VALUE CHAIN

Eni's Gas & Power segment engages in all phases of the natural gas value chain: supply, trading and marketing of natural gas and and LNG. This segment also includes power generation and marketing of electricity. Eni's leading position in the European gas market is ensured by a set of competitive advantages, including our multi-Country approach, long-term gas availability, access to infrastructures, market knowledge and a strong customer base, in addition to long-term relations with producing Countries. Furthermore, integration with our upstream operations provides valuable growth options whereby the Company targets to monetize its large gas reserves.

Marketing in Italy and Europe

Eni operates in a liberalized market where energy customers are allowed to choose the gas supplier and, according to their specific needs, to evaluate the quality of services and offers. Overall Eni supplies approximately 8.8 million clients in Italy and Europe. Households, professionals, small and medium-sized enterprises and public bodies located all over Italy are approximately 7.7 million.

In a trading environment characterized by a slight recover in demand in 2017 (up by 6% in the Italian market compared to the previous year and up by 4% in the European Union), and a market still depressed and characterized by a raised competitive pressure, Eni carried out a number of initiatives − such as renegotiation of supply contracts, efficiency and optimization actions − in order to preserve the business profitability.

A review of Eni's presence in key European markets is presented below:

Benelux

In line with the rationalization of gas retail business portfolio, Eni completed the disposal of the Gas & Power retail activities in Belgium to Eneco relating to approximately 850,000 electricity and gas connection points, representing a market share of around 10%. In 2017, sales in Benelux were mainly directed to industrial companies, power generation and wholesalers and amounted to 5.06 bcm, down by 1.97 bcm, or 28% compared to 2016, due to lower spot sales.

France

Eni sells natural gas to industrial clients, wholesalers and power generation, as well as to the segments of retail and middle market. Eni is present in the French market through its direct commercial activities and through its subsidiary Eni Gas & Power France SA. In 2017, sales in the Country amounted to 6.38 bcm, a decrease of 1.04 bcm, or 14%, from a year ago.

Eni operates in Germany through Gas & Power branches. In 2017, total sales in Germany-Austria amounted to 6.95 bcm, a decrease of 0.86 bcm, or 11% from 2016.

Spain

Eni operates in the Spanish gas market through Unión Fenosa Gas (UFG) joint venture (Eni's interest 50%) which mainly supplies natural gas to industrial clients, wholesalers and power generation utilities. In 2017, UFG gas sales amounted to 3.92 bcm (Eni's share 1.96 bcm). UFG holds an 80% interest in the Damietta liquefaction plant, on the Egyptian coast, and a 7.36% interest in a liquefaction plant in Oman. In 2017, total sales in the Iberian Peninsula amounted to 5.06 bcm, a decrease of 0.22 bcm, or down by 4.2%.

Turkey

Eni sells gas supplied from Russia and transported via the Blue Stream pipeline. In 2017, sales amounted to 8.03 bcm, an increase of 1.48 bcm, or 22.6% from a year ago driven by higher sales to Botas.

United Kingdom

Eni, through its subsidiary ETS, markets in the United Kingdom the equity gas produced at Eni's fields in the North Sea and operates in the main continental natural gas hubs (NBP, Zeebrugge, TTF). In 2017, sales amounted to 2.21 bcm, an increase of 10% from a year ago.

2. LNG

Eni is present in all phases of the LNG business: liquefaction, gas feeding, shipping, regasification and sale through a direct presence and interests in joint ventures and associates.

The LNG business registered a good profitability, leveraging on the growing energy demand in Asia. In the next years Eni intends to increase sales in premium markets, redirecting the availability through portfolio optimization and a higher integration with the upstream segment. In 2017, LNG sales (14.2 bcm) increased from 2016 (up by 1.8 bcm), driven by higher volumes marketed in the E&P's terminals located in Angola and Indonesia following production ramp-ups and start-ups. This positive result confirmed production success of the Eni's business model founded on the integrated development of upstream and mid-downstream projects. In particular, LNG sales of the Gas & Power segment (8.3 bcm, included in worldwide gas sales) mainly concerned LNG from Qatar, Nigeria, Oman, Indonesia and Algeria and were mainly marketed in Europe, the Far East, Kuwait, India and Egypt.

3. Power generation

Eni's power generation sites are located in Ferrera Erbognone, Ravenna, Mantova, Brindisi, Ferrara and Bolgiano. As of December 31, 2017, installed operational capacity of Enipower's power plants was 4.7 GW (unchanged from December 31, 2016).

ENI PLANTS AND SITES IN ITALY Germany/Austria

Installed and operational generation capacity as of December 31, 2017; 4,662 MW.

The combined cycle gas red technology (CCGT) ensures an high level of eciency and low environmental impact. In particular, management estimates that for a given amount of energy (electricity and steam) produced, using the CCGT technology instead of conventional power generation technology, the emission of carbon dioxide is reduced by about 5 mmtonnes, on an energy production of 24.1 TWh. Eni owns photovoltaic plants in the Italian territory with an installed capacity of 10 MW.

In 2017, power generation was 22.42 TWh, up by 0.64 TWh, or 2.9%, from 2016. Electricity trading (12.91 TWh) reported a decrease of 15.5% thanks to the optimization of inflows and outflows of power.

In 2017, power sales of 35.33 TWh declined by 4.6% from the full year of 2016 and were directed to the free market (75%), the Italian power exchange (15%), industrial sites (8%) and other (2%). Compared to 2016, power sales marketed in the free market decreased by 0.96 TWh or by 3.5%, due to lower volumes sold to middle market (down by 2.69 TWh), wholesalers (down by 2.35 TWh), residential segment (down by 0.92 TWh) and small and medium-sized enterprises (down by 0.46 TWh) partially offset by higher volumes sold to large customers (up by 5.46 TWh).

INTERNATIONAL TRANSPORT

Eni, as shipper, has transport rights on a large European and North African networks for transporting natural gas in Italy and Europe, which link key consumption basins with the main producing areas (Russia, Algeria, the North Sea, including the Netherlands, Norway, and Libya). The Company participates to both entities which operate the pipelines and entities which manage transport rights. A description of the main international pipelines currently participated or operated by Eni is provided below:

Fact Book

2017

  • the TTPC pipeline, 740-kilometer long, is made up of two lines that are each 370-kilometer long with a transport capacity of 34.3 bcm/y and five compression stations. This pipeline transports natural gas from Algeria across Tunisia from Oued Saf Saf at the Algerian border to Cap Bon on the Sicily Channel where it links with the TMPC pipeline;
  • the TMPC pipeline for the import of Algerian gas is 775-kilometer long and consists of five lines that are each 155-kilometer long with a transport capacity of 33.5 bcm/y. It crosses the Sicily Channel from Cap Bon to Mazara del Vallo in Sicily, the point of entry into the Italian natural gas transport system;
  • the Green Stream pipeline for the import of Libyan gas produced at the Eni operated fields of Bahr Essalam and Wafa. It is 520-kilometer long with a transport capacity of 8 bcm/y crossing the Mediterranean Sea from Mellitah on the Libyan coast to Gela in Sicily, the point of entry into the Italian natural gas transport system;
  • Eni holds a 50% interest in the Blue Stream underwater pipeline (with a record water depth of more than 2,150 meters) linking the Russian coast to the Turkish coast of the Black Sea. This pipeline is 774-kilometer long on two lines and has transport capacity of 16 bcm/y. It is part of a joint venture to sell gas produced in Russia on the Turkish market. These assets generate a steady operating profit thanks to the sale of transport rights on a long-term basis.

REFINING & MARKETING AND CHEMICALS

PERFORMANCE OF THE YEAR

  • ● In 2017 the total recordable injury rate (TRIR) increased by 63.2% compared to 2016.
  • ● Greenhouse gas emissions reported a decrease of 8% in absolute terms. Energy efficiency projects and reduced methane emissions contributed to a 7.2% decrease GHG emissions related to refining throughputs.
  • ● In 2017 the Refining & Marketing and Chemicals segment reported an adjusted operating profit of €991 million, up by €408 million, or 70% from 2016. The Refining & Marketing business reported an adjusted operating profit of €531 million (up by 91%), the best full year result in the last eight years. This result benefitted from the initiatives implemented over the last years, which were designed to improve the set-up of Eni's refining system allowing to reduce the break-even margin below the 4 \$/barrel threshold. The marketing business reported a positive performance driven by the effective commercial initiatives, which supported the premium segments. The Chemical business reported an adjusted operating profit of €460 million (up by 51%) from the €305 million reported in 2016. This result represents the best performance reported in the recent history of Eni's Chemical business and demonstrates the value of the progress in the turnaround process.
  • ● In 2017 Eni's refining throughputs amounted to 24.02 mmtonnes, lower y-o-y (down by 2%) due to the downtime of some plants at the Sannazzaro refinery and the shutdown at the Taranto refinery, partly offset by a better performance of Milazzo and Livorno refineries.
  • ● In 2017 the production of biofuels from vegetable oil at the Venice green refinery amounted to 0.24 mmtonnes, up by 14.3% compared 2016.
  • ● Retail sales in Italy were 6.01 mmtonnes, up by about 8 ktonnes from 2016, or 1.3%.
  • ● Retail sales in the rest of Europe (2.53 mmtonnes) were down by 4.9% compared to the previous year, mainly due to the assets disposal in Hungary and Slovenia finalized in the second half 2016. On a homogeneous basis, when excluding the impact of the above mentioned disposal, sales slightly increased by 1.1% due to higher volumes traded in Austria and Germany.
  • ● Sales of petrochemical products in Europe amounted to 3.71 mmtonnes, recording a slight reduction of 1.3% y-o-y, due to

a weak growth in consumptions. Higher polymer sales were partially offset by lower sale volumes in the other businesses.

  • ● Capital expenditure of €729 million mainly related to: (i) refining activities in Italy and outside Italy (€395 million), in particular the reconstruction of the EST conversion plant at the Sannazzaro refinery, plants' integrity, reconversion of the refinery system, as well as initiatives in the field of health, security and environment; (ii) marketing activity (€131 million), mainly regulation compliance and stay in business initiatives in the refined product retail network in Italy and in the Rest of Europe.
  • ● Research and Development (R&D) expenditure in the Refining & Marketing and Chemicals segment amounted to approximately €58 million. During the year, 15 patent applications were filed.

BIOPRODUCTS

Venice: green refinery entered into production in June 2014, with a production capacity of 360 ktonnes/y. The refinery exploits the proprietary EcofiningTM technology to transform vegetable oil in hydrogenated bio-fuels. A second phase of development is underway. At full capacity, the refinery production will satisfy approximately half of Eni bio-fuels needs required for being compliant with the EU environmental normative aimed at reducing CO2 emissions.

Gela: in November 2014, Eni defined with the Ministry for Economic Development, the Region of Sicily and interested stakeholders a plan to reconvert this plant in a biorefinery. The reconversion activities are ongoing and in line with the commitments signed with parties.

In August 2017 the project obtained the environmental impact assessment and authorization (VIA/AIA) by the Italian Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Cultural Heritage. The project is expected to come on stream by the end of 2018. The refinery will have a capacity of 750 ktonnes/y. The conversion will leverage on the application of the EcofiningTM proprietary technology, developed and licensed by Eni, to convert unconventional and second generation raw materials into green diesel, a highly sustainable biofuel. The plant properties will allow the production of green diesel in compliance with the last regulatory constraints in terms of reduction of GHG emissions throughout the whole production chain, deploying the full capacity in process second-generation feedstock.

ENI'S REFINING SYSTEM, LOGISTICS AND GREEN REFINERIES( *)

3. Logistics

Eni is a leading operator in the Italian oil and refined products storage and transportation business. It owns an integrated infrastructure consisting of 16 directly managed depots and a network of oil and refined products pipelines. Eni logistic model is organized in three hubs (Southern, Central and Northern Italy). These hubs manage the product flows in order to guarantee high safety and technical standards, as well as cost effectiveness. Eni is also in joint venture with six Italian operators (Sigemi, Petroven, Petra, Seram, Disma and Toscopetrol) to optimize its logistic footprint and increase efficiency. Eni transports oil and refined products: (i) by sea through spot and long-term contracts of tanker ships; and (ii) through a proprietary pipeline network

extending approximately 1,462 kilometers. Secondary distribution to retail and wholesale markets is outsourced to independent tanker carriers, selected as market leaders in their own field.

4. Oxygenates

Eni, through its subsidiary Ecofuel (100% Eni's share), sells approximately 1 mmtonnes/y of oxygenates, mainly ethers (approximately 3% of world demand, used as a gasoline octane booster), and methanol (mainly for petrochemical use). About 85% of oxygenates are produced in Eni's plants in Italy (Ravenna), in Saudi Arabia (in joint venture with Sabic) and Venezuela (in joint venture with Pequiven) and the remaining 15% is purchased.

MARKETING

1. Retail sales in Italy

Eni is a leader in the Italian retail market of refined products with a 25% market share, up by 0.7 percentage points from 2016. In 2017, retail sales in Italy were 6.01 mmtonnes with a slight increase compared to 2016 (about 80 ktonnes from 2016 or 1.3%). Average gasoline and gasoil throughputs (1,588 kliters) increased by approximately 40 kliters from 2016.

As of December 31, 2017, Eni's retail network in Italy consisted of 4,310 service stations, down by 86 units from December 31, 2016 (4,396 service stations), resulting from the release of low throughput stations (25 units) and negative balance of acquisitions/releases of lease concessions (56 units) and of motorway concessions (5 units).

2. Retail Rest of Europe

Retail sales in the Rest of Europe were approximately 2.53 mmtonnes, recorded a slight reduction from 2016 (down by 4.9%). This result reflected mainly the asset disposals in Hungary and Slovenia in the second half of 2016. On a homogeneous basis, when excluding the impact of the above mentioned disposal, sales slightly increased by 1.1% due to higher volumes traded in Austria and Germany. At December 31, 2017, Eni's retail network in the Rest of Europe consisted of 1,234 units, increasing by 8 units from December 31, 2016, mainly in Germany. Average throughput (2,440 kliters) increased by 100 kliters compared to 2016 (2,340 kliters).

No. of service stations: 478 unit Average throughput: 3.3 kliters/y Wholesale sales: 1,405 kton Retail sales: 1,267 kton Market share: 3.3%

No. of service stations: 319 unit Average throughput: 2.7 kliters/y Wholesale sales: 253 kton Retail sales: 691 kton Market share: 12.4%

No. of service stations: 280 unit Average throughput: 1.3 kliters/y Wholesale sales: 470 kton Retail sales: 276 kton Market share: 7.8%

3. Wholesale business

Eni markets gasoline and other fuels on the wholesale market in Italy, including diesel fuel for automotive use and for heating purposes, for agricultural vehicles and for vessels and fuel oil. Major customers are resellers, manufacturing industries, service companies, public utilities and transporters, as well as final users (transporters, condominiums, farmers, fishers, etc.). Eni provides its customers a wide range of products covering all market requirements leveraging on its expertise on fuels' manufacturing. Customer care and product distribution are supported by a widespread commercial and logistical

organization presence all over Italy and articulated in local marketing offices and a network of agents and dealers.

Wholesale sales in Italy amounted to 7.64 mmtonnes, decreased by 0.52 mmtonnes or 6.4% from the previous year, mainly due to lower volumes marketed of gasoil, bunkering and fuel oil partly offset by higher sales of jet fuel and bitumens.

Supplies of feedstock to the petrochemical industry (0.86 mmtonnes) decreased by 15.7%. Wholesale sales in the Rest of Europe were 3.03 mmtonnes, down by 4.7% from 2016 due to lower sold volumes in Austria and France and the above-mentioned asset disposals in the East Europe, offset by higher volumes in Switzerland and Germany.

Other sales in Italy and outside Italy (12.68 mmtonnes) decreased by approximately 0.65 mmtonnes or 5.4%, mainly due to lower sales volumes to oil companies.

The marketing of LPG in Italy is supported by the Eni's refining production logistic network made of five bottling plants, 1 owned storage site and three storage sites located in the coasts Livorno, Naples and Ravenna. LPG is used as heating and automotive fuel. In 2017, Eni share of LPG market in Italy was 17.7%. Outside Italy, the main market of Eni is Ecuador, with a market share of 37.9%.

CHEMICALS

Eni through Versalis performs activities of production and marketing of petrochemical products basic petrochemicals and polymers), leveraging on a wide range of patents (250), 71 advanced production facilities, as well as a large and efficient retail network present in 25 European countries. Versalis' portfolio of patents and proprietary technologies covers the whole field of basic petrochemicals and polymers: phenol and its derivatives, polyethylene, styrenes and elastomers, as well as catalysts and special chemical products.

As a producer of intermediates, all types of polyethylene and a wide range of elastomers/latices and of the complete line of styrenic products, Versalis continues in the development of its proprietary technologies supported by the experience it gained in production and R&D. This approach favoured the optimization of the design of equipment and plants, of their performance, of proprietary catalysts and other products that allowed it to to speed up development and to achieve excellence in all technologies in the specific business areas in order to compete in markets worldwide. A key role is played by the most innovative proprietary catalysts, particularly those based on zeolites developed by Versalis as building blocks of some of its most advanced technologies and available worldwide.

THE MANUFACTURING CYCLE

The materials produced by Versalis are obtained following a manufacturing cycle which involves several processing stages. Virgin naphtha, a raw material which is a distillation product from petroleum, undergoes thermal cracking also known as steam-cracking. The component molecules split into simpler molecules: monomers (ethylene, propylene, butadiene, etc.) and into blends of aromatic compounds. The monomers are then reconstituted into more complex molecules: polymers. The following are produced from polymers: polyethylene, styrenes and elastomers used by processing companies to produce a whole variety of products for everyday use. The blends of aromatic compounds, properly treated, are used to produce intermediates, used in the manufacturing of products for everyday use.

The principal objective of basic petrochemicals is granting the adequate availability of monomers (ethylene, butadiene and benzene) covering the needs of further production processes: in particular olefins production is strictly linked with the polyethylene and elastomers business, aromatics grant the benzene availability necessary to produce intermediate products used in the production of resins, artificial fibres and polystyrene. In polymers business Versalis is one of the most relevant European producers of elastomers, where it is present in almost all the relevant sectors (in particular, in the automotive industry), polystyrene and polyethylene, whose most relevant use is in flexible packaging.

In the "green chemicals" Versalis' commitment began with Matrìca – a 50/50 joint venture with Novamont – an innovative platform that produces bio-intermediates for high-value-added applications from renewable resources. Matrìca has also launched a major reconversion of the Porto Torres plant. Versalis has signed agreements with companies in the fields of agro-technology and biotechnology: Genomatica to make bio-butadiene from renewable sources, Elevance Renewable Sciences to develop a technological platform for products based on vegetable oils. Furthermore, the company has started off a major project to make natural rubber from guayule. The recent agreement with Bridgestone, the leading global producer in the tyre industry, aims to develop a technology platform to commercialize guayule in the agricultural, sustainable-rubber and renewable-chemical sectors.

Fact Book

2017

(*) Versalis International manages the activities of the European commercial branches (France, UK, Germany, Swiss, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Poland, Czech Rep., Slovakia, Russia, Denmark, Sweden, Spain, Greece), coordinates the companies in Turkey and in US, and delivers services to manufacturing companies in France, Germany, Hungary and UK.

1. Business areas

Petrochemical sales of 3,712 ktonnes slightly decreased from 2016 (down by 47 ktonnes, or 1.3%). The steepest declines were registered in olefins (down by 7.1%) and derivatives (down by 14.1%), partly offset by higher sales volumes of polyethylene (+10.8%). Average unit sales prices increased by 16% from 2016. The intermediates business up by 27%, in particular monomers prices, affected by the butadiene (up by 88.3%) and the polymers business up by 13%, reflecting styrene and elastomers prices increased (up by 14.8% and 24.1%, respectively). Petrochemical production of 5,818 ktonnes increased by 172 ktonnes

(up by 3%) mainly due to higher production of polyethylene (up by 14.6%) and elastomers businesses (up by 5.9%); the intermediates productions were slightly increased (+1.2%). The main increases in production were registered at the Ragusa site (up by 90%), due to a recovery of production capacity for a malfunctioning occurred at the plant in 2016, as well as Ravenna and Dunkerque (olefins), and Ferrara and Mantova sites (styrene) due to fewer production shutdowns of the plants. Decreasing productions at the Marghera, Mantova (derivatives) and Dunastyr sites due to planned shutdowns of the plants. Nominal capacity of plants is in line from the previous year. The average plant utilization rate calculated on nominal capacity was 72.8% increased from 2016 (71.4%).

Intermediates

Basic petrochemicals are one of the pillars of the activities of Versalis, whose products have a range of important industrial uses, such as the production of polyethylene, polypropylene, PVC and polystyrene. They are also used in the production of petrochemical

intermediates that converge, in turn, into a range of other productive processes: plastics, rubbers, fibres, solvents and lubricants. Intermediates revenues (€1,988 million) increased by €300 million from 2016 (up by 17.8%) reflecting the higher commodity prices scenario that influences average intermediates prices of the main product of the business unit. Sales decreased by 7.6%, in particular for ethylene business (down by 16%) and derivatives (down by 14.1%) driven by the planned shutdowns of Mantova plants. Average unit prices increased by 27.1%, in particular olefins (up by 25.8%), aromatics (up by 29.2%) and derivatives (up by 26.7%). Intermediates production (3,458 ktonnes) registered an increase of 1.2% from the last year. Increasing of olefins (up by 4.3%) and reduction of derivatives (down by 11.2%).

Polymers

In the polymers business Versalis is active in the production of:

  • polyethylene, a basic plastic material, used as a raw material by companies that transform it into a wide range of goods, from basic product like film for packaging, phials, industrial containers to more sophisticated like automotive tanks, solar panels, medical prostheses;
  • styrenics that are polymeric materials based on styrenes that are used in a very large number of sectors through a range of transformation technologies. The most common applications are for industrial packaging and in the food industry, small and large electrical appliances, building isolation, electrical and electronic devices, household appliances, car components and toys;
  • elastomers that are polymers characterized by high elasticity that allow them to regain their original shape even after having

been subjected to extensive deformation. Versalis has a leading position in this sector and produces a wide range of products for the following sectors: tyres, footwear, adhesives, building components, pipes, electrical cables, car components and sealing, household appliances; they can be used as modifiers for plastics and bitumens, as additives for lubricating oils (solid elastomers); carpet backing, paper coating, moulded foams (synthetic latex). Versalis is one of the world's major producers of elastomers and synthetic latex.

Polymers revenues (€2,730 million) increased by €350 million or 14.7% from 2016 thanks to higher sales volumes (up by 6%), as well as to the increase of the average unit prices (up by 13%). The styrenics business benefited from the high commodities prices (styrene) with an increasing of average sold prices (up by 14.8%); slightly decrease of sold volumes (down by 2%).

Polyethylene volumes increased (up by 8.3%) and average prices recorded a decrease (down by 2.2%).

In the elastomers business, a recovery in sales was attributable to

commodities rubbers (BR up by 15.8%), special rubbers EPDM (up by 23.2%) and lattices (up by 0.8%); decreasing of thermoplastic rubbers (down by 14.5%) and SBR (down by 8.7%). Lower styrenics volumes sold (down by 2%) was mainly driven by lower sales of styrene (down by 18.4%) and compact polystyrene (down by 1.4%), partly offset by higher sales of ABS/SAN (up by 3.2%) and expandable polystyrene (up by 3.4%). Overall, the sold volumes of polyethylene business reported an increase (up by 10.8%) with higher sales of EVA, LDPE and HDPE (up by 17.7%, 31.6% and 7.8%, respectively).

Polymers productions increased by 5.9% (2.360 ktonnes) from 2016 mainly driven by higher production of polyethylene (up by 14.6%). Elastomers business productions increased (up by 5.9%), especially in BR rubbers (up by 12.4%) and EPDM (up by 25.1%). The styrenics business reported higher production of expandable polystyrene (up by 6%) and ABS/SAN (up by 17.9%), decreasing production of styrene (down by 5.9%) due to planned shutdowns of Mantova plant.

ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES (NON-GAAP MEASURE)

Management evaluates underlying business performance on the basis of Non-GAAP financial measures under IFRS ("Alternative performance measures"), such as adjusted operating profit and adjusted net profit, which are arrived at 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. From 2017, the recognition of the inventory holding (gains) losses has been revised in the Gas & Power segment considering a recently-enacted, less restrictive regulatory framework relating the legal obligation on part of gas wholesalers to retain gas volumes in storage to ensure an adequate level of modulation to the retail segment. On this basis, management has progressively reduced gas quantities held in storage and has commenced to leverage those quantities to improve margins by seeking to capture the seasonality in gas prices existing between the phase of gas injection (which typically occurs in summer months) vs. the phase of gas off-take (which typically occurs during the winter months). Therefore, from the closure of the statutory period of gas injection, i.e. from the fourth quarter of 2017, the determination of the stock profit or loss in the Gas & Power segment has changed and currently gas off-takes from storage are valued at the average cost incurred during the injection period net of the effects of hedging derivatives, ensuring when the purchased volumes are matched by the corresponding sales (net of the effects of hedging derivatives) the proper measurement and accountability of the economic performances.

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 affect 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. Management includes them in order 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 and 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; or (iii) 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. Those items 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 exchange rate market.

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. Also, special items allow to allocate to future reporting periods gains and losses on re-measurement at fair value of certain non-hedging commodity derivatives and exchange rate derivatives relating to commercial exposures, lacking the criteria to be designed as hedges, including the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges and certain derivative financial instruments embedded in the pricing formula of long-term gas supply agreements of the Exploration & Production segment.

Adjusted operating profit and adjusted net profit on a standalone basis

Considering the significant impact of the discontinued operations in the comparative reporting periods of 2015, management used an adjusted performance measures calculated on a standalone basis. This Non-GAAP measure excludes as usual the items "profit/loss on stock" and extraordinary gains and losses (special items), while it reinstates the effects relating to the elimination of gains and losses on intercompany transactions with the Engineering & Construction segment which, as of December 31, 2015, was in the disposal phase, represented as discontinued operations under the IFRS5. These measures obtain a representation of the performance of the continuing operations which anticipates the effect of the derecognition of the discontinued operations. Namely: adjusted operating profit and adjusted net profit on a standalone basis.

Profit per boe

Measures the return per oil and natural gas barrel produced. It is calculated as the ratio between Results of operations from E&P activities (as defined by FASB Extractive Activities - oil&gas Topic 932) and production sold.

Opex per boe

Measures efficiency in the oil&gas development activities, calculated as the ratio between operating costs (as defined by FASB Extractive Activities - oil&gas Topic 932) and production sold.

Finding & Development cost per boe

Represents Finding & Development cost per boe of new proved or possible reserves. It is calculated as the overall amount of exploration and development expenditure, the consideration for the acquisition of possible and probable reserves as well as additions of proved reserves deriving from improved recovery, extensions, discoveries and revisions of previous estimates (as defined by FASB Extractive Activities oil&gas Topic 932).

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.

ROACE (Return On Average Capital Employed) adjusted

Is the return on average capital invested, calculated as the ratio between net income before minority interests, plus net financial charges on net financial debt, less the related tax effect and net average capital employed.

Net cash provided by operating activities before changes in working capital at replacement cost

Net cash provided from operating activities before changes in working capital and exlcuding inventory holding gain or loss.

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 and securities not related to operations. Financial activities are qualified as "not related to operations" when these are not strictly related to the business operations.

Coverage

Financial discipline ratio, calculated as the ratio between operating profit and net finance charges.

Current ratio

Measures the capability of the company to repay short-term debt, calculated as the ratio between current assets and current liabilities.

Debt coverage

Rating companies use the debt coverage ratio to evaluate debt sustainability. It is calculated as the ratio between net cash provided by operating activities and net borrowings, less cash and cashequivalents, securities held for non-operating purposes and financing receivables for non-operating purposes.
