In the first half of 2021, oil and natural gas production averaged 1,650 kboe/d, down by 6% compared to the same period of 2020. The decline was driven by maintenance activity mainly in Norway, Italy and the United Kingdom, which in the first half of 2020 was postponed, lower activity in Nigeria and mature field declines. On the positive side, production was supported by the increase in Egypt driven by the performance of the Zohr field, global gas demand recovery and the restart of the Damietta liquefaction plant as well as the Merakes start-up in Indonesia.
Liquids production was 797 kbbl/d, representing a reduction from the first half of 2020. The reduction was due to higher maintenance activity, price effects, a decrease in Nigeria and mature field declines, partly offset by continuing growth in Egypt.
Natural gas production amounted to 4,531 mmcf/d, down by 3.8% or down by 180 mmcf/d compared to the first half of 2020. Lower production was due to higher maintenance activity, mature field declines and a decrease in Nigeria. These negatives were partly offset by a robust recovery of natural gas demand in certain areas (mainly in Egypt) and the start-up of Merakes in Indonesia.
Oil and gas production sold amounted to 276.6 mmboe. The 22 mmboe difference over production (298.6 mmboe) mainly reflected volumes consumed in operations (20 mmboe), changes in inventory levels and other changes.
In the first half of 2021, Eni performed its operations in 42 countries. As of June 30, 2021, Eni's mineral right portfolio consisted of 794 exclusive or shared properties for exploration and development oil and gas activities as well as 1 shared property for the CCUS project in the United Kingdom. Total acreage was 340,188 square kilometers net to Eni, of which 577 square kilometers related to the CCUS activities in the United Kingdom. As of December 31, 2020, total acreage was 336,449 square kilometers net to Eni.
In the first half of 2021, changes in total net acreage mainly derived from: (i) acquisition of new leases mainly in Vietnam, Angola, Norway, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt, as well as the CCUS project in the United Kingdom for a total acreage of approximately 13,100 square kilometers; (ii) the relinquishment of licenses mainly in Myanmar, Egypt, Norway, Italy and the United Kingdom for a total acreage of approximately 7,900 square kilometers; (iii) net acreage increase also due to interest changes mainly in Italy and the United States for a total acreage of 60 square kilometers; and (iv) net acreage decrease mainly in Italy and Mozambique for a total acreage of 1,500 square kilometers.
In the first half of 2021, a total of 14 exploratory wells were drilled (7.1 being Eni's share), as compared to 19 exploratory wells drilled in the first half of 2020 (9.5 being Eni's share).

In the first half of 2021, Eni's consolidated subsidiaries supplied 34.40 bcm of natural gas, with an increase of 5.14 bcm or 17.6% from the first half of 2020.
Gas volumes supplied outside Italy from consolidated subsidiaries (32.44 bcm), imported in Italy or sold outside Italy, represented approximately 95% of total supplies, with an increase of 6.14 bcm or up by 23.3% from the first half of 2020 mainly reflecting higher volumes purchased in Russia (up by 3.54 bcm), Algeria (up by 3.52 bcm), and the Netherlands (up by 0.34 bcm) partially offset by lower purchases in Libya (down by 0.77 bcm) and in Qatar (down by 0.17 bcm).

(*) Data include intercompany sales.
In the first half of 2021, natural gas sales were 34.43 bcm, up by 13.1% from the first half of 2020, mainly due to higher volumes marketed outside Italy (Turkey and France) leveraging on the economic recovery and increasing LNG volumes marketed mainly by the Damietta plant.
Sales in Italy were down by 2% to 17.73 bcm, mainly due to lower sales marketed mainly to hub and thermoelectric segment. Sales in European markets (12.45 bcm) increased by 46% as result of the recovery in consumptions, mainly in Turkey following higher gas nominations made by Botas and in France.

In the first half of 2021, Eni's Standard Refining Margin – SERM – reported non-remunerative values (minus 0.5 \$/barrel, down by 3.4 \$/barrel from the first half of 2020). This trend reflects the continuing pandemic effects, which on one side with the only gradual easing of OPEC+ supported the cost of the oil feedstock, while on the other side it negatively affected demands for products, particularly the middle distillates. On the positive side, the discount between sour crudes like the Ural vs. light-sweet crudes widened, which helped margins (the spread was minus 1.4 \$/bbl vs. a minus 0.9 \$/bbl in the first half of 2020).
Eni refining throughputs on own account were 13.15 mmtonnes, up by 15.7% from the first half of 2020, in response to a lower impact of the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the comparative period which was negatively affected by the almost full lockdown of the economy, partly offset by a depressed refining scenario. Throughputs elsewhere increased mainly at the ADNOC plants, where the performance was negatively affected by a prolonged plant standstill in the first half of 2020. Increased by 6 percentage points the average plant utilization rate (73%).
Bio throughputs were 308 ktonnes, down by 18% from the same period of the previous year against the backdrop of a depressed trading environment, which nonetheless saw an improvement in June.

In the first half of 2021, sales volumes of refined products (13.10 mmtonnes) were up by 0.61 mmtonnes or by 4.9% from the first half of 2020.
Retail sales in Italy were 2.31 mmtonnes increasing in all the segments (up by 14.9%) thanks to the gradual restart of economic activities being the first half of 2020 impacted by the lockdown measures. Eni's retail market share was 22.6% (23.6% in the first half of 2020).
As of June 30, 2021, Eni's retail network in Italy consisted of 4,127 service stations, recording a decrease from June 30, 2020 (4,153 service stations), resulting from the negative balance of acquisitions/releases of lease concessions (26 units).
Average throughput (684 kliters) increased by 63 kliters from the first half of 2020 (621 kliters).
Wholesale sales in Italy were 2.75 mmtonnes, up by 3% from the first half of 2020 mainly due to higher sales of fuel oil and gasoil, partly offset by declining sales of gasoline, jet fuel and bunker due to the prolonged effects of lockdown to contain the spread of the COVID-19.
Supplies of feedstock to the petrochemical industry (0.30 mmtonnes) were substantially in line from the comparative period.
Retail and wholesale sales in the rest of Europe of 1.92 mmtonnes were down by 9% from the first half of 2020 mainly as a result of lower volumes marketed in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, following the lower demand due to the lockdown, partly offset by higher sales in France.
Other sales in Italy and outside Italy were 5.57 mmtonnes, up by 7.7% from the first half of 2020.

Petrochemical production of 4,354 ktonnes increased by 856 ktonnes (up by 24.5%) mainly in the intermediates business due to higher product availability, compared to the comparative period, which were affected by higher prolonged maintenance standstills following COVID-19 emergency.
Petrochemical sales of 2,321 ktonnes increased by 413 ktonnes (up by 21.6%). Main increases were reported in the intermediate, driven by recovery of demand in the reference segments, lower imports from producer countries, as well as higher product availability.
Petrochemical product margins improved significantly driven by the macroeconomic recovery, which mitigated the competitive pressure, and contingent factors due to a temporally supply shortage. Sharp increases were recorded in the polyethylene segment driven by the recovery in products demand, partial shortage in commodities production, as well as weak trends in the upturn of the logistic segment; furthermore, in the styrenics/elastomers segments due to higher demand. Cracker margin recorded a significant reduction in the two reporting periods, due to higher cost of commodities.

Energy production from renewable sources amounted to 258.1 GWh (of which 135.1 GWh photovoltaic and 123.0 GWh wind) up by 114.0 GWh compared to the first half of 2020. The increase in production compared to the previous year benefitted from the entry in operations of new plants in Italy and abroad, as well as the contribution of assets already operating in the United States, acquired in the fourth quarter of 2020.
As of June 30, 2021, the renewable installed capacity was 331 MW, up by 32% compared to the first quarter of 2020. Compared to June 30, 2020 the capacity increased by 80 MW thanks to the completion of plants in Australia (up by 25 MW, photovoltaic capacity), in Italy (up by 24 MW, onshore wind capacity), as well as the acquisition of the U.S. assets already in operation (up by 30 MW, photovoltaic and wind capacity).

Commodities and energy prices performed strongly in the first half of 2021: the Brent price increased from 40 \$/bbl in the first half of 2020 to 65 \$/bbl in the first half of 2021; natural gas prices in Europe more than doubled for the Italian reference spot price "PSV" and the continental reference spot price "TTF"; in the chemical sector the polyethylene-ethylene spread reached the record value to about 800 \$/ton. On the negative side, the refining margins continued to be extremely weak in the European/Mediterranean region with the Eni benchmark margin SERM down to historic lows (-0.5 \$/bbl on average in the first half of 2021). This was due to the continuing pandemic effects, which on one side with the gradual easing of OPEC+ supported the cost of the oil feedstock, while on the other side negatively affected demand for products, particularly middle distillates. In the wholesale gas business, spreads between the Italian PSV spot market and the spot prices at the "TTF" continental hub narrowed remarkably down to 2 €/kcm in the first half of 2021 from 17 €/kcm in compared period of the previous year.
In the first half of 2021, net profit attributable to Eni's shareholders was €1,103 million compared to the net profit of €7,335 million in the same period of 2020. Net cash provided by operating activities increased by 72% to €4,093 million, while net borrowing excluding the IFRS 16 lease liabilities decreased by €1,528 million from December 31, 2020 to €10,040 million. These results, the progress on delivering Eni's strategy, the outlook and a Brent reference scenario of 65 \$/bbl have allowed to increase dividend back to the pre-COVID levels at €0.86 per share and to start a €400 million share buy-back program over the next 6 months.
Against a more constructive macro backdrop and improved fundamentals in the energy scenario, net result was supported by operating performance compared to a loss reported in the first half of 2020 following the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Operating performance was affected by the impairment losses of €602 million (compared to €2,749 million in the first half of 2020) mainly relating to the refining assets due to the projections of lower expected future cash flows driven by a deteriorated margin environment and the forecast of higher expenses for emission allowances. Finally, net profit benefitted from a tax rate which was in line with the average historical value at consolidated level.

In the first half of 2021, the Group's adjusted operating profit of €3,366 million was €2.5 billion higher than the first half of 2020. The result was driven by a robust performance in the E&P segment leveraging on a better pricing environment and lower costs, despite lower hydrocarbon production due to seasonal maintenance activities. The result also benefitted from retroactive contractual revisions. The Chemical business reported an outstanding performance (up by €372 million of adjusted operating profit) driven by a strong macro backdrop, higher products margins and higher production availability, allowing the segment to capture a rebound in demand, in addition to a growing contribution from the green chemical business. Finally, resilient results from the Eni gas e luce & Renewables business benefitting from effective marketing activities, a growing customer base and better margins. The GGP and R&M segments reported weak results reflecting a difficult market environment and tough comparison with the excellent results earned the yearago periods.
The Group's adjusted net profit was back at pre-COVID levels with €1,199 million, a noticeable improvement compared to the first half of 2020 loss of €655 million due to an improved operating profit and benefitting from a better consolidated tax rate which was 58% in the first half of 2021. The main driver of this trend was the normalization of the E&P tax rate, which was driven by a better geographical mix of profits on the back of the strengthened scenario, which lowered the relative weight of jurisdictions characterized by higher tax rates, like Libya, Egypt, Algeria and UAE, as well as the fact that the 2020 reporting period was affected by a number of tax dis-optimizations resulting in a particularly high tax rate. Furthermore, an improved profitability outlook of Italian green activities, mainly Eni gas e luce & Renewables, allowed for the recognition of deferred tax assets against the fiscal losses incurred in the reporting period.

Total revenues amounted to €31,439 million. Eni's sales from operations in the first half of 2021 (€30,788 million) increased by 39.8% from the first half of 2020, reflecting the effect of the strong performance in all energy commodities, in particular: the Brent price increased from 40 \$/bbl in the first half of 2020 to 65 \$/bbl in the first half of 2021; natural gas prices (TTF and PSV) in Europe increased more than doubled; in the chemical sector the polyethylene-ethylene spread, reference indicator, reached the record value to about 800 \$/ton as well as the reopening of the economy leading to a rebound in sale volumes mainly in the R&M and Chemicals segment. In particular, the chemical business took advantage from improvements in global demand for plastics thanks to a broadening economic recovery, with many end-markets like consumer durables and the automotive and packaging sector performing well, and higher volume sold thanks to higher plant availability, leveraging on the lower imports from the producer countries (USA and Middle East). The retail gas&power business was supported by gains in the extra-commodity business, marketing initiatives in Italy and a growth in the customer base.

Purchases, services and other (€22,117 million) increased by €4,931 million, reflecting higher costs for hydrocarbon supplies (gas under long-term supply contracts and refinery and chemical feedstocks). Payroll and related costs (€1,493 million) were barely unchanged from the first half of 2020.

Net finance expense (€473 million) reduced by €53 million from the first half of 2020. The main drivers were: (i) lower financial expense on debt (down by €36 million) due to favourable trends in key market benchmarks and gains recognized in fair value evaluation of certain derivative instruments on interest rates (up by €65 million) which did not meet the formal criteria to be designated as hedges under IFRS; (ii) recognition of lower losses on exchange rate (down by €226 million) offset by the negative change of fairvalued currency derivatives (down by €207 million) lacking the formal criteria to be designated as hedges under IFRS 9; (iii) lower interest expense for lease liabilities (down by €30 million) due to currency translation effects. Other finance expense reported an increase of €86 million due to a discounted receivable in the E&P segment.

As of June 30, 2021, fixed assets of €70,289 million were almost unchanged from December 31, 2020: capital expenditures and acquisitions of the period and the positive impact of exchange rates were offset by DD&A and net impairment charges.
Net working capital (-€13,190 million) increased by €1,473 million y-o-y due to a higher balance between trade payables and trade receivables (approximately up by €0.9 billion) and an increased value of oil and products inventories due to the weighted-average cost method accounting in an environment of rising prices.
Shareholders' equity (€40,580 million) increased by €3,087 million compared to December 31, 2020, due to the net profit for the period (€1,112 million), the emission in May 2021 of hybrid bonds for €2 billion and the positive foreign currency translation differences (€1,037 million) reflecting the appreciation of the dollar vs. the euro as of June 30, 2021 vs. December 31, 2020, offset by the payment of the balance dividend 2020 to Eni shareholders (€857 million).

Net borrowings2 as of June 30, 2021 was €15,323 million decreasing by €1,263 million from 2020. When excluding the lease liabilities, net borrowings were re-determined at €10,040 million decreasing by €1,528 million.
Leverage3 – the ratio of the borrowings to total equity - was 0.38 at June 30, 2021. The impact of the lease liability pertaining to joint operators in Eni-led upstream unincorporated joint ventures weighted on leverage for 4 points. Excluding the impact of IFRS 16 altogether, leverage would be 0.25.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the first half of 2021 was €4,093 million, increasing by 72%, due to the better scenario in the upstream segment. This benefitted from a higher amount of trade receivables due in subsequent reporting periods divested to financing institutions compared to the fourth quarter 2020 (about +€0.2 billion).
Cash flow from operations before changes in working capital at replacement cost was €4,757 million. This non-GAAP measure includes net cash provided by operating activities before changes in working capital excluding inventory holding gains or losses and provisions for extraordinary credit losses and other charges, as well as the fair value of commodity derivatives lacking the formal criteria to be designated as hedges and the fair value of forward gas sale contracts with physical delivery which were not accounted in accordance with the own use exemption.

Net of the above-mentioned non-organic items and of utilization of trade advances cashed by Egyptian partners in previous reporting periods in relation to the financing of the Zohr project (€0.57 billion), net capital expenditures amounted to €2.91 billion, about 2% lower than the same period of 2020 (almost unchanged at constant exchange rates). In the first half of 2021 net capex were fully funded by the adjusted cash flow.
In the first half of 2021, capital expenditure amounted to €2,407 million (€2,568 million in the first half

In the first half of 2021, the recovery in the profitability of the Exploration & Production has strengthened, as signaled by an increase of €3 billion in the adjusted operating profit from the first half of 2020 reflecting the significant rebound from the bottom of the demand and economic crisis and supported by the full recovery of the oil scenario with the reference Brent price increasing by 63%. Against this backdrop, Eni's realized prices of liquids increased by 81%, whereas natural gas realized prices increased by 24%. The positive trend in the pricing environment was partly softened by lower production volumes due to the seasonal maintenance activities. The result was helped by expense optimizations and lower write-offs of exploration expenditures relating unsuccessful wells and benefitted from retroactive contractual revisions.
The segment reported an adjusted net profit of €1,772 million compared to a loss of €573 million in the same period of the previous year, up by €2,345 million, due to a recovery in operating profit and better results of the Vår Energi JV (up by €135 million). The adjusted net profit benefitted from an improved scenario that drove a reduction in the tax rate due to a more favourable geographic mix of profits (in terms of reducing share of taxable income in Countries with a higher tax rate), as well as to the circumstance that the 2020 reporting period was affected by a number of drivers leading to tax dis-optimization.

In the first half of 2021, the Global Gas & LNG Portfolio segment reported an adjusted operating loss of €6 million, down from the performance recorded in the same period of 2020 (adjusted operating profit of €363 million) which benefitted from one-off positive effects from portfolio optimizations. Furthermore, the first half of 2021 was negatively affected by narrowing spreads between the PSV vs. the TTF spot gas prices partly offset by economic benefits from gas contracts renegotiation.
The segment reported an adjusted net loss of €23 million compared to the adjusted net profit of €227 million in the first half of 2020.

In the first half of 2021, the Refining & Marketing and Chemicals segment reported an adjusted operating profit of €70 million, down by 21% from the first half of 2020.
In the first half of 2021, the Refining & Marketing business reported an adjusted operating loss of €171 million compared to an adjusted operating profit of €220 million in the same period of 2020, driven by a depressed refining scenario due to the long-lasting effects of COVID-19 as demonstrated by the slow recovery in air travel and other market dislocations, as well as higher expenses for the purchase of emission allowances. The optimization of the industrial set-up allowed for a partial recovery of the loss driven by scenario. The marketing business benefitted from the reopening of the economy leading to a rebound in sales volumes, partly offset by lower margins.
In the first half of 2021, the Chemical business, managed by Versalis, reported an adjusted operating profit of €241 million, significantly better than the first half of 2020 when an adjusted operating loss of €131 million was incurred. The performance was driven by a broad-based recovery in the demands for commodities in key end-markets like the automotive, the packaging and the consumer staples sectors, which sustained volumes and margins. The green chemicals business also performed well. Furthermore, the segment was able to capture additional sale volumes (volumes increased by 21% in the first half) thanks to higher plant availability, leveraging on the rebound in demand and the lower imports from the producing countries (the USA and the Middle East).
The Refining & Marketing and Chemicals reported an adjusted net profit of €24 million (adjusted net profit of €16 million in the same period of 2020) due to the worsening performance of the R&M business.

In the first half of 2021, the Eni gas e luce & Renewables business reported an adjusted operating profit of €247 million, up by 43% from the first half of 2020. The performance was supported by gains in the extra-commodity business, also leveraging the integration of the distributed photovoltaic business (Evolvere), marketing initiatives in Italy, a growth in the customer base following organic growth and the acquisition of Aldro Energía in Spain, and lower than expected credit losses, following an improving economic cycle.
The power generation business from gas-fired plants reported an adjusted operating profit of €63 million, down by 39% from the first half of 2020, driven by an unfavourable trading environment and lower one-off effects.
The segment reported an adjusted net profit of €223 million, up by 14%, due to an improved operating performance.
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 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).
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.
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 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 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 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.
Adjusted net cash is defined as net cash provided from operating activities before changes in working capital at replacement cost and excluding certain non-recurring charges.
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 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.
Financial discipline ratio, calculated as the ratio between operating profit and net finance charges.
Measures the capability of the company to repay short-term debt, calculated as the ratio between current assets and current liabilities.
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 cash-equivalents, securities held for non-operating purposes and financing receivables for non-operating purposes.

The Company's performance is affected by volatile prices of crude oil and produced natural gas and by fluctuating margins on the marketing of natural gas and on the integrated production and marketing of refined products and chemical products
The price of crude oil is the single, largest variable that affects the Company's operating performance and cash flow. The price of crude oil has a history of volatility because, like other commodities, it is cyclical and is influenced by several macro-factors that are beyond management's control. Crude oil prices are mainly driven by the balance between global oil supplies and demand and hence the global levels of inventories and spare capacity. In the short-term, worldwide demand for crude oil is highly correlated to the macroeconomic cycle. A downturn in economic activity normally triggers lower global demand for crude oil and possibly a supply build-up. Whenever global supplies of crude oil outstrip demand, crude oil prices weaken. Factors that can influence the global economic activity in the short-term and demand for crude oil include several, unpredictable events, like trends in the economic growth in China, India, the United States and other large oil-consuming countries, financial crisis, geo-political crisis, local conflicts and wars, social instability, pandemic diseases, the flows of international commerce, trade disputes and governments' fiscal policies, among others. All these events could influence demands for crude oil. In the long-term, factors which can influence demands for crude oil include on the positive side demographic growth, improving living standards and GDP expansion. Negative factors that may affect demand in the long-term comprise availability of alternative sources of energy (e.g., nuclear and renewables), technological advances affecting energy efficiency, measures which have been adopted or planned by governments all around the world to tackle climate change and to curb carbon-dioxide emissions (CO2 emissions), including stricter regulations and control on production and consumption of crude oil, or a shift in consumer preferences. The civil society and several governments all over the world, with the EU leading the way, have announced plans to transition towards a low-carbon model through various means and strategies, particularly by supporting development of renewable energies and the replacement of internal combustion vehicles with electric vehicles, including the possible adoption of tougher regulations on the use of hydrocarbons such as the taxation of CO2 emissions as a mitigation action of the climate change risk. The push to reduce worldwide greenhouse gas emissions and an ongoing energy transition towards a low carbon economy, which are widely considered to be irreversible trends, will represent in our view major trends in shaping global demand for crude oil over the long-term and may lead to structural lower crude oil demands and consumption. We also believe that the dramatic events of 2020 in relation to the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic could have possibly accelerated those trends. See the section dedicated to the discussion of climate-related risks below. Global production of crude oil is controlled to a large degree by the OPEC cartel, which has recently extended to include other important oil producers like Russia and Kazakhstan to form the so-called alliance OPEC+. Saudi Arabia plays a crucial role within the cartel, because it is estimated to hold huge amounts of reserves and a vast majority of worldwide spare production capacity. This explains why geopolitical developments in the Middle East and particularly in the Gulf area, like regional conflicts, acts of war, strikes, attacks, sabotages and social and political tensions can have a big influence on crude oil prices. Also, sanctions imposed by the United States and the EU against certain producing countries may influence trends in crude oil prices.
To a lesser extent, factors like adverse weather conditions such as, hurricanes in sensitive areas like the Gulf of Mexico, and operational issues at key petroleum infrastructure can influence crude oil prices.
The recovery of crude oil prices that commenced in the final months of 2020 strengthened throughout the first half of 2021 due to a favorable combination of market and macro developments, most notably: a breakthrough in the development and approval of effective vaccines against COVID-19 and the subsequent effectiveness of the vaccination campaign, an acceleration in the pace of economic activity in Asia, the outcome of the presidential election in the United States, the continuing production management implemented by the OPEC+ alliance and finally the progressive reopening of the economies of the USA and of countries in Northern-Western Europe. Against the backdrop of a more constructive macro environment and better energy fundamentals, crude oil prices recovered strongly in the first half of 2021 with the Brent crude oil benchmark up by 60% to 65 \$/bbl on average.
Notwithstanding the Brent price rebound in 2021, in its 2021 interim consolidated financial report, Eni's management confirmed its long-term forecast for hydrocarbon prices, which are the main driver of capital allocations decisions and of the recoverability assessment of the book values of our non-current assets. The revised scenario adopted by Eni foresees a long-term price of the marker Brent of 60 \$/bbl in 2023 real terms.
Gas prices, also negatively affected in 2020 by the economic crisis due to COVID-19 pandemic, recorded an even more significant recovery than oil, due to the absorption of the excess supply of LNG due to the financial discipline of the US shale producers which reduced associated gas production to be exported. In addition, global gas demand recorded a significant increase in 2021 also in relation to a particularly cold winter season in the South-East Asia and subsequently due to the resumption of industrial activity. The spot prices of natural gas recorded in the main markets of continental Europe more than doubled: PSV Italia average of 231 €/thousand cubic meters (up by 138% when comparing the first half of 2021 vs. the first half of 2020), even more accentuated the TTF which directly benefited from decreasing LNG import flows with an average price of €229/thousand cubic meters (up by 187%) in the first half of 2021.
Lower hydrocarbon prices from one year to another negatively affect the Group's consolidated results of operations and cash flow. This is because lower prices translate into lower revenues recognized in the Company's Exploration & Production segment at the time of the price change, whereas expenses in this segment are either fixed or less sensitive to changes in crude oil prices than revenues. In the first half of 2021, the Group's operating performance on an adjusted basis (excluding non-recurring items and special items) reported an increase of €2.5 billion compared to the same period of the previous year, an almost four-fold increase, benefitting from the recovery in hydrocarbons prices. The Group cash flow from operating activities grew by €1.7 billion or 72%.
Eni estimates that approximately 50% of its current production is exposed to fluctuations in hydrocarbons prices. Exposure to this strategic risk is not subject to economic hedging, except for some specific market conditions or transactions. The remaining portion of Eni's current production is largely unaffected by crude oil price movements considering that the Company's property portfolio is characterized by a sizeable presence of production sharing contracts, whereby the Company is entitled to a portion of a field's reserves, the sale of which is intended to cover expenditures incurred by the Company to develop and operate the field. The higher the reference prices for Brent crude oil used to estimate Eni's proved reserves, the lower the number of barrels necessary to recover the same amount of expenditure and hence production, and vice versa. In the first half 2021, we estimated 300 boe/d of lower entitlements for each one-dollar increase in the price of the Brent crude oil (for a total lower volume of 6 kboe/d).
The oil and gas industry is capital intensive. Eni makes and expects to continue to make substantial capital expenditures in its business for the exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas reserves. Over the next four years, the Company plans to invest in the oil&gas business approximately an average of €4.5 billion per year (approximately €6 billion, before the COVID-19 pandemic). Historically, Eni's capital expenditures have been financed with cash generated from operations, proceeds from asset disposals, borrowings under its credit facilities and proceeds from the issuance of debt and bonds. The actual amount and timing of future capital expenditures may differ materially from Eni's estimates as a result of, among other things, changes in commodity prices, available cash flows, lack of access to capital, actual drilling results, the availability of drilling rigs and other services and equipment, the availability of transportation capacity, and regulatory, technological and competitive developments. Eni's cash flows from operations and access to capital markets are subject to a number of variables, including but not limited to:
If revenues or Eni's ability to borrow decrease significantly due to factors such as a prolonged decline in crude oil and natural gas prices, Eni might have limited ability to obtain the capital necessary to sustain its planned capital expenditures. If cash generated by operations, cash from asset disposals, or cash available under Eni's liquidity reserves or its credit facilities is not sufficient to meet capital requirements, the failure to obtain additional financing could result in a curtailment of operations relating to development of Eni's reserves, which in turn could adversely affect its business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows and its ability to achieve its growth plans. These factors could also negatively affect shareholders' returns, including the amount of cash available for dividend distribution and share repurchases, as well as the share price. In addition, funding Eni's capital expenditures with additional debt will increase its leverage and the issuance of additional debt will require a portion of Eni's cash flows from operations to be used for the payment of interest and principal on its debt, thereby reducing its ability to use cash flows to fund capital expenditures and dividends.
In case the Company's exploration efforts are unsuccessful at replacing produced oil and natural gas, its reserves will decline. In addition to being a function of production, revisions and new discoveries, the Company's reserve replacement is also affected by the entitlement mechanism in its production sharing agreements ("PSAs"), whereby the Company is entitled to a portion of a field's reserves, the sale of which is intended to cover expenditures incurred by the Company to develop and operate the field. The higher the reference prices for Brent crude oil used to estimate Eni's proved reserves, the lower the number of barrels necessary to recover the same amount of expenditure, and vice versa. Although Eni has not currently experienced any difficulties in accessing bank credits, obtaining new loans is exposed to the risk of growing distrust by banks and other financial institutions to provide funds to support new oil & gas projects in relation to the energy transition. This could lead to an increase of new issues' cost or the need to revise development programs. For these reasons, Eni management has retained financial discipline and strict selective criteria in assessing capital projects to increase the resilience of oil & gas asset portfolio to the volatility of oil prices, reducing the Brent price floor at which Eni's oil & gas business is able to self-finance its expenditures. The capex plan for exploration and development of hydrocarbon reserves has a significant "uncommitted" share, allowing the company to maintain adequate financial flexibility in case of sudden changes in the trading environment.
All these risks may adversely and materially impact the Group's results of operations, cash flow, liquidity, business prospects, financial condition, and shareholder returns, including dividends, the amount of funds available for stock repurchases and the price of Eni's share.
Eni's Refining & Marketing and Chemical business are in highly-cyclical sectors. Their results are impacted by trends in the supply and demand of oil products and plastic commodities, which are influenced by the macro-economic scenario and by products margins. Generally speaking, margins for refined and chemical products depend upon the speed at which products' prices adjust to reflect movements in oil prices.
Our Refining business has been negatively affected for years by structural headwinds due to muted trends in the European demand for fuels, refining overcapacity and continued competitive pressure from players in the Middle East, the United States and Far East Asia. Those competitors can leverage on larger plant scale and cost economies, availability of cheaper feedstock and lower energy expenses. This unfavorable competitive environment has been exacerbated by the effects of the 2020 economic crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the consequent lockdown of entire economies and travel restrictions, which drove a collapse in the consumption of motor gasoline, jet fuels and other refined products. The macroeconomic recovery in the first half of 2021 removed only partially those headwinds as travel restrictions in the civil airline sector continued to negatively affect demands for jet fuels driving downward the refining margins.
Furthermore, the profitability of our business was also negatively affected by the appreciation of sour crude oils towards medium/light qualities such as the Brent, due to market dislocations and the effects of the production cuts implemented by the OPEC+, which reduced availability of sour crudes in the marketplace. This latter trend negatively affected the profitability of conversion plants, which are normally supported by the fact that heavy and sour crudes trade at a discount vs. the light qualities as the Brent. Due to these market trends, in the first half 2021 the Company's own internal performance measure to gauge the profitability of its refineries, the SERM (see glossary), fell to historic lows, plunging into negative territory at minus 0.5 \$/bbl on average compared to 2.9 \$/bbl in the comparative period.
Furthermore, costs associated with emission quotas, incurred to meet the compliance requirements (e.g. Emission Trading Scheme) determined on the basis of market prices, recognized in relation to the amounts of the carbon dioxide emissions that exceed free allowances, negatively affected operating expenses. In the first half of 2021, cost of emission allowances doubled compared to the first half of 2020 (on average around 44 €/tonnes) reflecting both the recovery in industrial activity and the expectations of increasingly stringent EU allocation policies in relation to the climate objectives set in the European Green Deal.
On the basis of these developments in the trading environment, management revised downwardly the projections of refining margins in the short to medium term, while forecast of CO2 charges have been revised upwards with a consequent negative revision of expected future cash flows associated with refinery activity recognizing assets impairment losses of approximately €0.9 billion. These, added to approximately €1.8 billion of impairment losses recorded in the previous two years, substantially zeroed the book value of Eni's European refineries.
Eni's Chemical business is characterized by market trends similar to those of the refining business. We have been facing for years strong competition from well-established international players and state-owned petrochemical companies, particularly in the most commoditized market segments such as the production of basic petrochemical products (like ethylene and polyethylene), where demand is a function of macroeconomic growth. Many of these competitors based in the Far East and the Middle East have been able to benefit from cost economies due to larger plant scale, wide geographic moat, availability of cheap feedstock and proximity to end-markets. Excess worldwide capacity of petrochemical commodities has also fueled competition in this business. Furthermore, petrochemical producers based in the United States have regained market share, as their cost structure has become competitive due to the availability of cheap feedstock deriving from the production of domestic shale gas from which ethane is derived, which is a cheaper raw material for the production of ethylene than the oil-based feedstock utilized by Eni's petrochemical subsidiaries. Finally, rising public concern about climate change and the preservation of the environment has begun to negatively affect the consumption of single-use plastics. In 2020, these competitive dynamics were greatly amplified by the economic crisis triggered by the lockdown measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which negatively affected plant utilization rates and sales volumes, particularly in those segments more exposed to the recession of their customer segments, like in the case of sales volumes of elastomers to the automotive industry. In the first half of 2021 Eni's chemical business benefitted from improved petrochemical product margins mainly driven by a macroeconomic recovery, which mitigated the competitive pressure, and contingent factors due to temporary supply shortages. In the second half of 2021, is expected a rebalancing of the supply-demand in the reference industry, entailing a downward trend on products prices; however, margins are foreseen to remain at a higher level than those recorded in the second half of 2020.
Eni's management is implementing a strategic path to re-position these two businesses to reduce the weight of the commodity segments with weak fundamentals in its portfolio and exposed to the volatility of hydrocarbon margins, while increasing biofuels and chemical business from renewable and recycled source, as well as increasing high added value polymers, characterized by greater stability and interesting growth prospects.
As of December 31, 2020, approximately 83% of Eni's proved hydrocarbon reserves were located in non-OECD countries, mainly in Africa and central-south East Asia, where the socio-political framework, the financial system and the macroeconomic outlook are less stable than in the OECD countries. In those non-OECD countries, Eni is exposed to a wide range of political risks and uncertainties, which may impair Eni's ability to continue operating economically on a temporary or permanent basis, and Eni's ability to access oil and gas reserves. Particularly, Eni faces risks in connection with the following potential issues and risks:
• socio-political instability leading to internal conflicts, revolutions, establishment of non-democratic regimes, protests, attacks, strikes and other forms of civil disorder and unrest, such as strikes, riots, sabotage, acts of violence and similar events. These risks could result in disruptions to economic activity, loss of output, plant closures and shutdowns, project delays, loss of assets and threats to the security of personnel. They may disrupt financial and commercial markets, including the supply of and pricing for oil and natural gas, and generate greater political and economic instability in some of the geographical areas in which Eni operates. Additionally, any possible reprisals because of military or other action, such as acts of terrorism in Europe, the United States or elsewhere, could have a material adverse effect on the world economy and hence on the global demand for hydrocarbons;
• lack of well-established and reliable legal systems and uncertainties surrounding the enforcement of contractual rights;
• unfavourable enforcement of laws, regulations and contractual arrangements leading, for example, to expropriation, nationalisation or forced divestiture of assets and unilateral cancellation or modification of contractual terms;
• sovereign default or financial instability due to the fact that those countries rely heavily on petroleum revenues to sustain public finance and petroleum revenues have dramatically contracted in 2020 due plunging hydrocarbons prices as a consequence of the global economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Financial difficulties at country level often translate into failure by state-owned companies and agencies to fulfil their financial obligations towards Eni relating to funding capital commitments in projects operated by Eni or to timely paying for supplies of equity oil and gas volumes;
• restrictions on exploration, production, imports and exports;
• complex processes of granting authorisations or licences affecting time-to-market of certain development projects.
The financial outlook of several, non-OECD countries where Eni is operating was significantly affected by the material contraction recorded in hydrocarbons revenues following the COVID-19 pandemic, which also increased the counterparty risk of a few state-owned or privately-held local companies that are Eni's partners in certain projects to develop oil&gas reserves.
Areas where Eni operates and where the Company is particularly exposed to political risk include, but are not limited to Libya, Venezuela and Nigeria.
Eni's operations in Libya are currently exposed to significant geopolitical risks. The social and political instability of the Country dates back to the revolution of 2011 that brought a change of regime and a civil war, triggering an uninterrupted period of lack of well-established institutions and recurrent episodes of internal conflict, clashes, disorders and other forms of civil turmoil. In the year of the revolution, Eni's operations in Libya were materially affected by a full-scale war, which forced the Company to shut down its development and extractive activities for almost all of 2011, with a significant negative impact on the Group's results of operation and cash flow. In subsequent years Eni has experienced frequent disruptions to its operations, albeit on a smaller scale than in 2011, due to security threats to its installations and personnel. The situation begun to improve in September 2020, thanks to a temporary agreement between the conflicting factions which enabled a full resumption of operations at all Libyan oilfields, revoking force majeure declared at the start of 2020. In the first half 2021, Eni's production in Libya amounted to 167 kboe/d, increasing from the first half 2020 and was in line with management's plans. Despite this, management believes that Libya's geopolitical situation will continue to represent a source of risk and uncertainty to Eni's operations in the country and to the Group's results of operations and cash flow. Currently, Libyan production represents approximately 10% of the Group's total production; this percentage is forecasted to decrease in the medium term in line with the expected implementation of the Group's strategy intended to diversify the Group's geographical presence to better balance the geopolitical risk of the portfolio by expanding the Group's presence in the United Arabian Emirates and Norway.
Venezuela is currently experiencing a situation of financial stress, which has been exacerbated by the economic recession caused by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Lack of financial resources to support the development of the country's hydrocarbons reserves has negatively affected the country's production levels and hence fiscal revenues. The situation has been made worse by certain international sanctions targeting the country's financial system and its ability to export crude oil to U.S. markets, which is the main outlet of Venezuelan production.
Presently, the Company retains only one valuable asset in Venezuela: the 50%-participated Cardón IV joint venture, which is operating a natural gas offshore project and is supplying its production to the national oil company, PDVSA, under a long-term supply agreement. We also hold an equity interest in other two oil projects: the PetroJunin oilfield and the Corocoro field, with respect to which in past years we have registered significant impairment losses and reserves de-bookings, with currently little value left to recover. The main risk to Eni's ability to recover its investment is the continued difficulty on the part of PDVSA to pay the receivables for the gas supplies of Cardón IV, resulting in a significant amount of overdue receivables. The joint-venture is systematically booking a loss provision on the revenues accrued. As at June 30, 2021, Eni's invested capital in Venezuela was approximately \$1 billion. Due to a tightening of the international sanction regime, during the course of the first half 2021 Eni was unable to obtain any in-king reimbursement of its outstanding trade receivable towards PDVSA, including any amounts billed by the venture during the period for the gas volumes supplied.
We have significant credit exposure in Nigeria to state-owned and privately-held local companies, where the overall financial and economic outlook of the country has been made worse by the contraction of petroleum revenues due to the crisis of the oil sector in 2020 caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our credit exposure relates to the funding of the share of capital expenditures pertaining to Nigerian joint operators at Enioperated oil projects. We have incurred in the past and it is possible to continue incurring in the future significant credit losses because of the ongoing difficulties of our Nigerian counterparts to reimburse amounts past due.
Furthermore, we have requested the conversion of our asset "Oil Prospecting License 245" that expired in May 2021 to an oil mining license in compliance with contractual terms and conditions. However, the relevant Nigerian authorities are holding back the approval. We have started an arbitration before an ICSID court to preserve the value of our asset. For more information please refer to note 9 to the consolidated financial statements of this interim report.
The civil society and the national governments adhering to the 2015 COP 21 Paris Agreement are stepping up efforts to reduce the risks of climate change and to support an ongoing transition to a low-carbon economy, which will likely lead to the adoption of national and international laws and regulations intended to curb carbon emissions, as well as to the implementation of fiscal measures which could possibly drive technological breakthrough in the use of hydrogen, exponential growth in the development of renewables energies and fast-growing adoption of electric vehicles, thus reducing the world's economy reliance on fossil fuels. These trends could materially affect demand for hydrocarbons in the long-term, while we expect increased compliance costs for the Company in the short-term. Eni is also exposed to risks of unpredictable extreme meteorological events linked to climate change. All these developments may adversely and materially affect the Group's profitability, businesses outlook and reputation
The civil society and the national governments adhering to the 2015 COP 21 Paris Agreement, with the EU playing a leading role, are advancing plans and initiatives intended to transition the economy towards a lowcarbon model in the long run, as the scientific community has been sounding alarms over the potential, catastrophic consequences for human life on the planet in connection with risks of climate change, based on the scientific relationship between global warming and increasing GHG concentration in the atmosphere, mainly as a result of burning fossil fuels. This push, as well as increasingly stricter regulations in this area, could adversely and materially affect the Group's business.
Those risks may emerge in the short and medium-term, as well as over the long term.
Eni expects that the achievement of the Paris Agreement goal of limiting the rise in temperature to well below 2° C above pre-industrial levels, or the more stringent goal advocated by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) of limiting global warming to 1.5° C, will strengthen the global response to the issue of climate change and spur governments to introduce measures and policies targeting the reduction of GHG emissions, which are expected to bring about a gradual reduction in the use of fossil fuels over the medium to long-term, notably through the diversification of the energy mix, likely reducing local demand for fossil fuels and negatively affecting global demand for oil and natural gas.
Recently, governmental institutions have responded to the issue of climate change on two fronts: on the one side, governments can both impose taxes on GHG emissions and incentivize a progressive shift in the energy mix away from fossil fuels, for example, by subsidizing the power generation from renewable sources; on the other side they can promote worldwide agreements to reduce the consumption of hydrocarbons. This trend has been progressively gaining traction with an increasing number of governments adopting national agendas and strategies intended to reach the goals of the Paris Agreement and formally pledging to obtain net-zero emissions by 2050, like the EU's Green Deal, which may lead to the enactment of various measure to constrain, limit or prohibit altogether the use of fossil fuels. This trend could increase both in breadth and severity if more governments follow suit.
The dramatic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic on economic activity and people's lifestyle could possibly result in a breakthrough in the evolution towards a low-carbon model of development. The unprecedented contraction in economic activity caused by the lockdown measures adopted throughout the world to contain the spread of the virus, which resulted in the suppression of demand for hydrocarbons, could have an enduring impact on the future role of hydrocarbons in satisfying global energy needs. This is because many governments and the EU have deployed massive amounts of resources to help rebuild entire economies and industrial sectors hit by the pandemic-induced crisis and a large part of this economic stimulus has been or is planned to be directed to help transitioning the economy and the energy mix towards a low-carbon model, as in the case of the EU's recovery fund, which provides for huge investments in the sector of renewable energies and the green economy, including large-scale adoption of hydrogen as a new energy source. At the same time, the auto industry is ramping up production of electric vehicles (EVs) and boosting the EVs line-up, while large amounts of risk capital and financing is propelling the growth of an entire new industry of pure-EV players. The growing role of EVs in transportation is leveraging on state subsidies to incentivize the purchase of EVs and growing interest among consumers towards EVs. Other potentially disruptive technologies designated to produce energy without fossil fuels and to replace the combustion engine in the transport sector are emerging, driven by the development of hydrogen-based innovations. These trends could disrupt demand for hydrocarbons in the not so distant future, with many forecasters, both within the industry, or state agencies and independent observers predicting peak oil demand sometimes in the next ten years or earlier; some operators still consider 2019 as the peak year for oil demand. A large portion of Eni's business depends on the global demand for oil and natural gas. If existing or future laws, regulations, treaties, or international agreements related to GHG and climate change, including state incentives to conserve energy or use alternative energy sources, technological breakthrough in the field of renewable energies or mass-adoption of electric vehicles trigger a structural decline in worldwide demand for oil and natural gas, our results of operations and business prospects may be materially and adversely affected.
We expect our operating and compliance expenses to increase in the short-term due to the likely growing adoption of carbon tax mechanisms. Some governments have already introduced carbon pricing schemes, which can be an effective measure to reduce GHG emissions at the lowest overall cost to society. Today, about half of the direct GHG emissions coming from Eni's operated assets are included in national or supranational Carbon Pricing Mechanisms, such as the European Emission Trading Scheme (ETS), as a result of which the Company incurs operating expenses. For example, under the European ETS, Eni is obligated to purchase, on the open markets, emission allowances in case its GHG emissions exceed a pre-set amount of free emission allowances. In 2020 to comply with this carbon emissions scheme, Eni purchased on the open market allowances corresponding to 10.5 million tonnes of CO2 emissions. Due to the likelihood of new regulations in this area and expectations of a reduction in free allowances under the European ETS and of the adoption of similar schemes by a rising number of governments, Eni is aware of the risk that a growing share of the Group's GHG emissions could be subject to carbon-pricing and other forms of climate regulation in the not so distant future, leading to additional compliance obligations with respect to the release, capture, and use of carbon dioxide that could result in increased investments and higher project costs for Eni. Eni also expects that governments will require companies to apply technical measures to reduce their GHG emissions.
The scientific community has concluded that increasing global average temperature produces significant physical effects, such as the increased frequency and severity of hurricanes, storms, droughts, floods or other extreme climatic events that could interfere with Eni's operations and damage Eni's facilities. Extreme and unpredictable weather phenomena can result in material disruption to Eni's operations, and consequent loss of or damage to properties and facilities, as well as a loss of output, loss of revenues, increasing maintenance and repair expenses and cash flow shortfall.
Finally, there is a reputational risk linked to the fact that oil companies are increasingly perceived by institutions and the general public as entities primarily responsible for global warming due to GHG emissions across the hydrocarbons value-chain, particularly related with the use of energy products. This could possibly make Eni's shares less attractive to investment funds and individual investors who have been more and more assessing the risk profile of companies against their carbon footprint when making investment decisions. Furthermore, a growing number of financing institutions, including insurance companies, appear to be considering limiting their exposure to fossil fuel projects, as witnessed by a pledge from the World Bank to stop financing upstream oil and gas projects and a proposal from the EU finance minister to reduce the financing granted to oil&gas projects via the European Investment Bank (EIB). This trend could have a material adverse effect on the price of our securities and our ability to access equity or other capital markets. Accordingly, our ability to obtain financing for future projects or to obtain it at competitive rates may be adversely impacted. Further, in some countries, governments and regulators have filed lawsuits seeking to hold fossil fuel companies, including Eni, liable for costs associated with climate change. Losing any of these lawsuits could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects.
As a result of these trends, climate-related risks could have a material and adverse effect the Group's results of operations, cash flow, liquidity, business prospects, financial condition, and shareholder returns, including dividends, the amount of funds available for stock repurchases and the price of Eni's shares.
The Group strategy to decarbonize its operations and its exposure to various decarbonization scenarios is fully described in Eni's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year 2020 filed with the US SEC.
One of the milestones of our decarbonization strategy is to achieve by 2030 a net zero carbon footprint in our E&P business relating to scope 1 and 2 emissions on equity basis, with an intermediate target of 50% reduction in 2024 vs. 2018. We are planning to reach this goal:
– by increasing efficiency to minimize direct upstream CO2 emissions. As part of this target by 2025 we plan to eliminate routine gas flaring at our industrial processes to extract and treat hydrocarbons and reduce fugitive methane emissions by 80% in our operated assets; and
– by offsetting residual upstream emissions through the ramp up of our projects designed to build carbon sinks like the projects for the conservation of primary and secondary forests, projects for the capture and storage of carbon dioxide leveraging our technologies and availability of depleted reservoirs, as well as for carbon capture and reuse which aim at recycling the carbon dioxide to manufacture valuable basic materials.
Our portfolio of oil and gas properties features a large weight of natural gas, the least GHG-emitting fossil energy source, which represented approximately 48% of Eni's production in 2020 on an available-for-sale basis; as of December 31, 2020, gas reserves represented approximately 49% of Eni's total proved reserves of its subsidiary undertakings and joint ventures. The other pillar of our resilient portfolio of oil&gas properties is the high incidence of conventional projects, developed through phases and with low CO2 intensity. We estimate that oil&gas projects under execution, which will drive the expected production increase in the next four-year period and attract a large part of the projected development expenditures in the same period, have a price breakeven of around 23 \$/bbl. We believe that those characteristics of our portfolio coupled with a relatively low pay-back period will mitigate the risk of stranded reserves going forward, should risks of structurally declining hydrocarbons demands materialize because of stricter global environmental constraints and regulations and changing consumers' preferences resulting in trends like the mass adoption of electric vehicles or a lower weight of hydrocarbons in the energy mix.
On May 18, 2021, the International Energy Agency published its set of assumptions underlying the "NZE2050" scenario. Among those it is worth mentioning: (i) the immediate stop to new oil&gas projects; (ii) a 75% reduction in oil demand by 2050 (24 million bbl/d from the current 96 million bbl/d) and a forecast Brent price of 35 \$/bbl by 2030 and 25 \$/bbl by 2050, in money of the day. Eni is going to consider this scenario among the third-party information that the Company considers as a reference for its sensitivity analysis.Please refer to the Eni's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year 2020 filed with the US SEC for more information on Eni's exposure to climate-related risks based on the guidelines of the TCFD and for the resilience assessments of the oil & gas portfolio to low carbon scenarios (sensitivity analysis).
Eni has incurred in the past and may incur in the future material environmental liabilities in connection with the environmental impact of its past and present industrial activities. Eni is also exposed to claims under environmental requirements and, from time to time, such claims have been made against us. Furthermore, environmental regulations in Italy and elsewhere typically impose strict liability. Strict liability means that in some situations Eni could be exposed to liability for clean-up and remediation costs, environmental damage, and other damages as a result of Eni's conduct of operations that was lawful at the time it occurred or of the conduct of prior operators or other third parties. In addition, plaintiffs may seek to obtain compensation for damage resulting from events of contamination and pollution or in case the Company is found liable of violations of any environmental laws or regulations. In Italy, Eni is exposed to the risk of expenses and environmental liabilities in connection with the impact of its past activities at certain industrial hubs where the Group's products were produced, processed, stored, distributed or sold, such as chemical plants, mineral-metallurgic plants, refineries and other facilities, which were subsequently disposed of, liquidated, closed or shut down. At these industrial hubs, Eni has undertaken several initiatives to remediate and to clean-up proprietary or concession areas that were allegedly contaminated and polluted by the Group's industrial activities. State or local public administrations have sued Eni for environmental and other damages and for clean-up and remediation measures in addition to those which were performed by the Company, or which the Company has committed to perform. In some cases, Eni has been sued for alleged breach of criminal laws (for example for alleged environmental crimes such as failure to perform soil or groundwater reclamation, environmental disaster and contamination, discharge of toxic materials, amongst others). Although Eni believes that it may not be held liable for having exceeded in the past pollution thresholds that are unlawful according to current regulations but were allowed by laws then effective, or because the Group took over operations from third parties, it cannot be excluded that Eni could potentially incur such environmental liabilities. Eni's financial statements account for provisions relating to the costs to be incurred with respect to clean-ups and remediation of contaminated areas and groundwater for which a legal or constructive obligations exist and the associated costs can be reasonably estimated in a reliable manner, regardless of any previous liability attributable to other parties. The accrued amounts represent management's best estimates of the Company's existing liabilities. Management believes that it is possible that in the future Eni may incur significant or material environmental expenses and liabilities in addition to the amounts already accrued due to: (i) the likelihood of as yet unknown contamination; (ii) the results of ongoing surveys or surveys to be carried out on the environmental status of certain Eni's industrial sites as required by the applicable regulations on contaminated sites; (iii) unfavorable developments in ongoing litigation on the environmental status of certain of the Company's sites where a number of public administrations, the Italian Ministry of the Environment or third parties are claiming compensation for environmental or other damages such as damages to people's health and loss of property value; (iv) the possibility that new litigation might arise; (v) the probability that new and stricter environmental laws might be implemented; and (vi) the circumstance that the extent and cost of environmental restoration and remediation programs are often inherently difficult to estimate leading to underestimation of the future costs of remediation and restoration, as well as unforeseen adverse developments both in the final remediation costs and with respect to the final liability allocation among the various parties involved at the sites. As a result of these risks, environmental liabilities could be substantial and could have a material adverse effect the Group's results of operations, cash flow, liquidity, business prospects, financial condition, and shareholder returns, including dividends, the amount of funds available for stock repurchases and the price of Eni's shares.
The exploration and production of oil and natural gas require high levels of capital expenditures and are subject to natural hazards and other uncertainties, including those relating to the physical characteristics of oil and gas fields. The exploration and production activities are subject to mining risk and the risks of cost overruns and delayed start-up at the projects to develop and produce hydrocarbons reserves. Those risks could have an adverse, significant impact on Eni's future growth prospects, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and shareholders' returns.
The production of oil and natural gas is highly regulated and is subject to conditions imposed by governments throughout the world in matters such as the award of exploration and production leases, the imposition of specific drilling and other work obligations, higher-than-average rates of income taxes, additional royalties and taxes on production, environmental protection measures, control over the development and decommissioning of fields and installations, and restrictions on production. A description of the main risks facing the Company's business in the exploration and production of oil and gas is provided below.
Exploration activities are mainly subject to mining risk, i.e. the risk of dry holes or failure to find commercial quantities of hydrocarbons. The costs of drilling and completing wells have margins of uncertainty, and drilling operations may be unsuccessful because of a large variety of factors, including geological failure, unexpected drilling conditions, pressure or heterogeneities in formations, equipment failures, well control (blowouts) and other forms of accidents. A large part of the Company exploratory drilling operations is located offshore, including in deep and ultra-deep waters, in remote areas and in environmentally-sensitive locations (such as the Barents Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, deep water prospect off West Africa, Indonesia, the Mediterranean Sea and the Caspian Sea). In these locations, the Company generally experiences higher operational risks and more challenging conditions and incurs higher exploration costs than onshore. Furthermore, deep and ultra-deep water operations require significant time before commercial production of discovered reserves can commence, increasing both the operational and the financial risks associated with these activities. Because Eni plans to make significant investments in executing exploration projects, it is likely that the Company will incur significant amounts of dry hole expenses in future years. Unsuccessful exploration activities and failure to discover additional commercial reserves could reduce future production of oil and natural gas, which is highly dependent on the rate of success of exploration projects and could have an adverse impact on Eni's future performance and returns.
Eni is executing or is planning to execute several development projects to produce and market hydrocarbon reserves. Certain projects target the development of reserves in high-risk areas, particularly deep offshore and in remote and hostile environments or in environmentally sensitive locations. Eni's future results of operations and business prospects depend heavily on its ability to implement, develop and operate major projects as planned. Key factors that may affect the economics of these projects include:
• the outcome of negotiations with joint venture partners, governments and state-owned companies, suppliers and potential customers to define project terms and conditions, including, for example, Eni's ability to negotiate favourable long-term contracts to market gas reserves;
• commercial arrangements and granting of all necessary administrative authorizations to build pipelines and related equipment to transport and market hydrocarbons;
• timely issuance of permits and licenses by government agencies;
• the ability to carry out the front-end engineering design in order to prevent the occurrence of technical inconvenience during the execution phase; timely manufacturing and delivery of critical equipment by contractors, shortages in the availability of such equipment or lack of shipping yards where complex offshore units such as FPSO and platforms are built; delays in achievement of critical phases and project milestones;
• risks associated with the use of new technologies and the inability to develop advanced technologies to maximise the recoverability rate of hydrocarbons or gain access to previously inaccessible reservoirs;
• performance in project execution on the part of contractors who are awarded project construction activities generally based on the EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) contractual scheme;
• changes in operating conditions and cost overruns;
• the actual performance of the reservoir and natural field decline; and the ability and time necessary to build suitable transport infrastructures to export production to final markets.
The occurrence of any of such risks may negatively affect the time-to-market of the reserves and cause cost overruns and a delayed pay-back period, therefore adversely affecting the economic returns of Eni's development projects and the achievement of production growth targets.
Development projects normally have long lead times due to the complexity of the activities and tasks that need to be performed before a project final investment decision is made and commercial production can be achieved. Those activities include the appraisal of a discovery to evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of the development project, obtaining the necessary authorizations from governments, state agencies or national oil companies, signing agreements with the first party regulating a project's contractual terms such as the production sharing, obtaining partners' approval, environmental permits and other conditions, signing long-term gas contracts, carrying out the concept design and the front-end engineering and building and commissioning the related plants and facilities. All these activities normally can take years to perform. Therefore, rates of return for such projects are exposed to the volatility of oil and gas prices and costs which may be substantially different from those estimated when the investment decision was made, thereby leading to lower return rates. Moreover, projects executed with partners and joint venture partners reduce the ability of the Company to manage risks and costs, and Eni could have limited influence over and control of the operations and performance of its partners. Furthermore, Eni may not have full operational control of the joint ventures in which it participates and may have exposure to counterparty credit risk and disruption of operations and strategic objectives due to the nature of its relationships.
Finally, if the Company is unable to develop and operate major projects as planned, particularly if the Company fails to accomplish budgeted costs and time schedules, it could incur significant impairment losses of capitalised costs associated with reduced future cash flows of those projects.
Inability to replace oil and natural gas reserves could adversely impact results of operations and financial condition
In case the Company's exploration efforts are unsuccessful at replacing produced oil and natural gas, its reserves will decline. In addition to being a function of production, revisions and new discoveries, the Company's reserve replacement is also affected by the entitlement mechanism in its production sharing agreements ("PSAs"), whereby the Company is entitled to a portion of a field's reserves, the sale of which is intended to cover expenditures incurred by the Company to develop and operate the field. The higher the reference prices for Brent crude oil used to estimate Eni's proved reserves, the lower the number of barrels necessary to recover the same amount of expenditure, and vice versa.
Future oil and gas production is a function of the Company's ability to access new reserves through new discoveries, application of improved techniques, success in development activity, negotiations with national oil companies and other owners of known reserves and acquisitions.
An inability to replace produced reserves by discovering, acquiring and developing additional reserves could adversely impact future production levels and growth prospects. If Eni is unsuccessful in meeting its longterm targets of production growth and reserve replacement, Eni's future total proved reserves and production will decline.
At December 31, 2020, approximately 30% of the Group's total estimated proved reserves (by volume) were undeveloped and may not be ultimately developed or produced. Recovery of undeveloped reserves requires significant capital expenditures and successful drilling operations. The Group's reserve estimates assume it can and will make these expenditures and conduct these operations successfully. These assumptions may not prove to be accurate and are subject to the risk of a structural decline in the prices of hydrocarbons due to possible long-lasting effects associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, including acceleration towards a low-carbon economy and a shift in consumers' behaviour and preferences. In case of a continued decline in the prices of hydrocarbon the Group may not have enough financial resources to make the necessary expenditures to recover undeveloped reserves. The Group's reserve report at December 31, 2020 includes estimates of total future development and decommissioning costs associated with the Group's proved total reserves of approximately €27.7 billion (undiscounted, including consolidated subsidiaries and equity-accounted entities). It cannot be certain that estimated costs of the development of these reserves will prove correct, development will occur as scheduled, or the results of such development will be as estimated. In case of change in the Company's plans to develop those reserves, or if it is not otherwise able to successfully develop these reserves as a result of the Group's inability to fund necessary capital expenditures or otherwise, it will be required to remove the associated volumes from the Group's reported proved reserves.
Oil and gas operations are subject to the payment of royalties and income taxes, which tend to be higher than those payable in many other commercial activities. Furthermore, in recent years, Eni has experienced adverse changes in the tax regimes applicable to oil and gas operations in a number of countries where the Company conducts its upstream operations. As a result of these trends, management estimates that the tax rate applicable to the Company's oil and gas operations is materially higher than the Italian statutory tax rate for corporate profit, which currently stands at 24%. Management believes that the marginal tax rate in the oil and gas industry tends to increase in correlation with higher oil prices, which could make it more difficult for Eni to translate higher oil prices into increased net profit. However, the Company does not expect that the marginal tax rate will decrease in response to falling oil prices. Adverse changes in the tax rate applicable to the Group's profit before income taxes in its oil and gas operations would have a negative impact on Eni's future results of operations and cash flows.
In the current uncertain financial and economic environment, governments are facing greater pressure on public finances, which may induce them to intervene in the fiscal framework for the oil and gas industry, including the risk of increased taxation, windfall taxes, and even nationalizations and expropriations.
The present value of future net revenues from Eni's proved reserves may differ from the current market value of Eni's estimated crude oil and natural gas reserves. In accordance with the SEC rules, Eni bases the estimated discounted future net revenues from proved reserves on the 12-month un-weighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month commodity prices for the preceding twelve months. Actual future prices may be materially higher or lower than the SEC pricing used in the calculations. Actual future net revenues from crude oil and natural gas properties will be affected by factors such as:
The timing of both Eni's production and its incurrence of expenses in connection with the development and production of crude oil and natural gas properties will affect the timing and amount of actual future net revenues from proved reserves, and thus their actual present value. Additionally, the 10% discount factor Eni uses when calculating discounted future net revenues may not be the most appropriate discount factor based on interest rates in effect from time to time and risks associated with Eni's reserves or the crude oil and natural gas industry in general.
Oil and gas activity may be subject to increasingly high levels of regulations throughout the world, which may impact our extraction activities and the recoverability of reserves
The production of oil and natural gas is highly regulated and is subject to conditions imposed by governments throughout the world in matters such as the award of exploration and production leases, the imposition of specific drilling and other work obligations, environmental protection measures, control over the development and abandonment of fields and installations, and restrictions on production. These risks can limit the Group's access to hydrocarbons reserves or may cause the Group to redesign, curtail or cease its oil&gas operations with significant effects on the Group's business prospects, results of operations and cash flow.
In Italy, the activities of hydrocarbon development and production are performed by oil companies in accordance with concessions granted by the Ministry of Economic Development in agreement with the relevant Region territorially involved in the case of onshore concessions. Concessions are granted for an initial twenty-year term; the concessionaire is entitled to a ten-year extension and then to one or more fiveyear extensions to fully recover a field's reserves and investments on the condition that the concessionaire has fulfilled all obligations related to the work program agreed in the initial concession award. In case of delay in the award of an extension, the original concession remains fully effective until the administrative procedure to grant an extension is finalized. These general rules are to be coordinated with a new law that was enacted in February 2019. This law requires certain Italian administrative bodies to adopt by September 2021 a plan intended to identify areas that are suitable for carrying out exploration, development and production of hydrocarbons in the national territory, including the territorial seawaters. Until approval of such a plan, a moratorium on exploration activities, including the award of new exploration leases, has been imposed. Following the plan approval, exploration permits are set to resume in areas that have been identified as suitable and new exploration permits can be awarded. However, in areas that that will be considered unsuitable for such activities, exploration permits will be repealed, applications for obtaining new exploration permits ongoing at the time of the law enactment will be rejected and no new permit applications can be filed. As far as development and production concessions are concerned, pending the national plan approval, ongoing concessions retain their efficacy and administrative procedures underway to grant extensions to expired concessions remain unaffected; however, no applications to obtain new concessions can be filed. Once the above mentioned national plan is adopted, development and production concessions that fall in suitable areas can be granted further extensions and applications for new concessions can be filed; however, development and production concessions in place as at the approval of the national plan that fall in unsuitable areas will be repealed at their expiration and no further extensions will be granted. According to the statute, areas that are suitable to the activities of exploring and developing hydrocarbons must conform to a number of criteria including morphological characteristics and social, urbanistic and industrial constraints, with particular bias for the hydrogeological balance, current territorial planning and with regard to marine areas for externalities on the ecosystem, reviews of marine routes, fishing and any possible impacts on the coastline.
The Group's largest operated development concession in Italy is Val d'Agri, which term expired on October 26, 2019. Development activities at the concession have continued since then in accordance with the "prorogation regime" described above, within the limits of the work plan approved when the concession was first granted. The Company filed an application to obtain a ten-year extension of the concession in accordance to the terms set by the law and before the enactment of the new law on the national plan for hydrocarbons activity. In this application the Company confirmed the same work program as in the original concession award. Similarly, Company operations are underway in accordance to the ongoing prorogation regime at another 41 expired Italian concessions for hydrocarbons development and production. The Company has also filed requests for extensions within the terms of the law for those concessions.
As far as proven reserves estimates are concerned, management believes the criteria laid out in the new law to be high-level principles, which make it difficult to identify in a reliable and objective manner areas that might be suitable or unsuitable to hydrocarbons activities before the plan is adopted by Italian authorities. However, based on the review of all facts and circumstances and on the current knowledge of the matter, management does not expect any material impact on the Group's future performance.
Eni's future performance depends on its ability to identify and mitigate the above-mentioned risks and hazards which are inherent to its oil&gas business. Failure to properly manage those risks, the Company's underperformance at exploration, development and reserve replacement activities or the occurrence of unforeseen regulatory risks may adversely and materially impact the Group's results of operations, cash flow, liquidity, business prospects, financial condition, and shareholder returns, including dividends, the amount of funds available for stock repurchases and the price of Eni's shares.
The accuracy of proved reserve estimates and of projections of future rates of production and timing of development expenditures depends on a number of factors, assumptions and variables, including:
• changes in oil and natural gas prices which could affect the quantities of Eni's proved reserves since the estimates of reserves are based on prices and costs existing as of the date when these estimates are made. Lower oil prices may impair the ability of the Company to economically produce reserves leading to downward reserve revisions.
Many of the factors, assumptions and variables underlying the estimation of proved reserves involve management's judgement or are outside management's control (prices, governmental regulations) and may change over time, therefore affecting the estimates of oil and natural gas reserves from year-to-year.
The prices used in calculating Eni's estimated proved reserves are, in accordance with the SEC requirements, calculated by determining the unweighted arithmetic average of the first day-of-the-month commodity prices for the preceding twelve months. Accordingly, the estimated reserves reported as of the end of any given year could be significantly different from the quantities of oil and natural gas that will be ultimately recovered. Any downward revision in Eni's estimated quantities of proved reserves would indicate lower future production volumes, which could adversely impact Eni's business prospects, results of operations, cash flows and liquidity.
The Group engages in the exploration and production of oil and natural gas, processing, transportation and refining of crude oil, transport of natural gas, storage and distribution of petroleum products and the production of base chemicals, plastics and elastomers. By their nature, the Group's operations expose Eni to a wide range of significant health, safety, security and environmental risks. Technical faults, malfunctioning of plants, equipment and facilities, control systems failure, human errors, acts of sabotage, attacks, loss of containment and adverse weather events can trigger damaging consequences such as explosions, blow-outs, fires, oil and gas spills from wells, pipeline and tankers, release of contaminants and pollutants in the air, the ground and in the water, toxic emissions and other negative events. The magnitude of these risks is influenced by the geographic range, operational diversity and technical complexity of Eni's activities. Eni's future results of operations and liquidity depend on its ability to identify and address the risks and hazards inherent to operating in those industries.
In the Exploration & Production segment, Eni faces natural hazards and other operational risks including those relating to the physical and geological characteristics of oil and natural gas fields. These include the risks of eruptions of crude oil or of natural gas, discovery of hydrocarbon pockets with abnormal pressure, crumbling of well openings, leaks that can harm the environment and the security of Eni's personnel and risks of blowout, fire or explosion.
Eni's activities in the Refining & Marketing and Chemical segment entail health, safety and environmental risks related to the handling, transformation and distribution of oil, oil products and certain petrochemical products. These risks can arise from the intrinsic characteristics and the overall lifecycle of the products manufactured and the raw materials used in the manufacturing process, such as oil-based feedstock, catalysts, additives and monomer feedstock. These risks comprise flammability, toxicity, long-term environmental impact such as greenhouse gas emissions and risks of various forms of pollution and contamination of the soil and the groundwater, emissions and discharges resulting from their use and from recycling or disposing of materials and wastes at the end of their useful life.
All of Eni's segments of operations involve, to varying degrees, the transportation of hydrocarbons. Risks in transportation activities depend on several factors and variables, including the hazardous nature of the products transported due to their flammability and toxicity, the transportation methods utilized (pipelines, shipping, river freight, rail, road and gas distribution networks), the volumes involved and the sensitivity of the regions through which the transport passes (quality of infrastructure, population density, environmental considerations). All modes of transportation of hydrocarbons are particularly susceptible to risks of blowout, fire and loss of containment and, given that normally high volumes are involved, could present significant risks to people, the environment and the property.
Eni has material offshore operations relating to the exploration and production of hydrocarbons. In 2020, approximately 65% of Eni's total oil and gas production for the year derived from offshore fields, mainly in Egypt, Libya, Angola, Norway, Congo, Indonesia, the United Arab Emirates, Italy, Ghana, Venezuela, the United Kingdom, Nigeria and the United States. Offshore operations in the oil and gas industry are inherently riskier than onshore activities. Offshore accidents and spills could cause damage of catastrophic proportions to the ecosystem and to communities' health and security due to the apparent difficulties in handling hydrocarbons containment, pollution, poisoning of water and organisms, length and complexity of cleaning operations and other factors. Furthermore, offshore operations are subject to marine risks, including storms and other adverse weather conditions and perils of vessel collisions, which may cause material adverse effects on the Group's operations and the ecosystem.
The Company has invested and will continue to invest significant financial resources to continuously upgrade the methods and systems for safeguarding the reliability of its plants, production facilities, transport and storage infrastructures, the safety and the health of its employees, contractors, local communities and the environment, to prevent risks, to comply with applicable laws and policies and to respond to and learn from unforeseen incidents. Eni seeks to manage these operational risks by carefully designing and building facilities, including wells, industrial complexes, plants and equipment, pipelines, storage sites and other facilities, and managing its operations in a safe and reliable manner and in compliance with all applicable rules and regulations, as well as by applying the best available techniques in the marketplace. However, these measures may ultimately not be completely successful in preventing and/or altogether eliminating risks of adverse events. Failure to properly manage these risks as well as accidental events like human errors, unexpected system failure, sabotages or other unexpected drivers could cause oil spills, blowouts, fire, release of toxic gas and pollutants into the atmosphere or the environment or in underground water and other incidents, all of which could lead to loss of life, damage to properties, environmental pollution, legal liabilities and/or damage claims and consequently a disruption in operations and potential economic losses that could have a material and adverse effect on the Group's results of operations, cash flow, liquidity, business prospects, financial condition, and shareholder returns, including dividends, the amount of funds available for stock repurchases and the price of Eni's shares.
Eni's operations are often conducted in difficult and/or environmentally sensitive locations such as the Gulf of Mexico, the Caspian Sea and the Arctic. In such locations, the consequences of any incident could be greater than in other locations. Eni also faces risks once production is discontinued because Eni's activities require the decommissioning of productive infrastructures and environmental sites remediation and cleanup. Furthermore, in certain situations where Eni is not the operator, the Company may have limited influence and control over third parties, which may limit its ability to manage and control such risks. Eni retains worldwide third-party liability insurance coverage, which is designed to hedge part of the liabilities associated with damage to third parties, loss of value to the Group's assets related to unfavourable events and in connection with environmental clean-up and remediation. As of the date of this filing, maximum compensation allowed under such insurance coverage is equal to \$1.2 billion in case of offshore incident and \$1.4 billion in case of incident at onshore facilities (refineries). Additionally, the Company may also activate further insurance coverage in case of specific capital projects and other industrial initiatives. Management believes that its insurance coverage is in line with industry practice and is enough to cover normal risks in its operations. However, the Company is not insured against all potential risks. In the event of a major environmental disaster, such as the incident which occurred at the Macondo well in the Gulf of Mexico several years ago, for example, Eni's third-party liability insurance would not provide any material coverage and thus the Company's liability would far exceed the maximum coverage provided by its insurance. The loss Eni could suffer in case of a disaster of material proportions would depend on all the facts and circumstances of the event and would be subject to a whole range of uncertainties, including legal uncertainty as to the scope of liability for consequential damages, which may include economic damage not directly connected to the disaster. The Company cannot guarantee that it will not suffer any uninsured loss and there can be no guarantee, particularly in the case of a major environmental disaster or industrial accident, that such a loss would not have a material adverse effect on the Company. The occurrence of any of the above mentioned risks could have a material and adverse impact on the Group's results of operations, cash flow, liquidity, business prospects, financial condition, and shareholder returns, including dividends, the amount of funds available for stock repurchases and the price of Eni's shares and could also damage the Group's reputation.
Eni's wholesale gas and retail gas&power businesses are subject to regulatory risks mainly in our domestic market in Italy. The Italian Regulatory Authority for Energy, Networks and Environment (the "Authority") is entrusted with certain powers in the matter of natural gas and power pricing. Specifically, the Authority retains a surveillance power on pricing in the natural gas market in Italy and the power to establish selling tariffs for the supply of natural gas to residential and commercial users until the market is fully opened. Developments in the regulatory framework intended to increase the level of market liquidity or of deregulation or intended to reduce operators' ability to transfer to customers cost increases in raw materials may negatively affect future sales margins of gas and electricity, operating results and cash flow.
Eni has incurred in the past, and will continue incurring, material operating expenses and expenditures, and is exposed to business risk in relation to compliance with applicable environmental, health and safety regulations in future years, including compliance with any national or international regulation on GHG emissions
Eni is subject to numerous European Union, international, national, regional and local laws and regulations regarding the impact of its operations on the environment and on health and safety of employees, contractors, communities and on the value of properties. We believe that laws and regulations intended to preserve the environment and to safeguard health and safety of workers and communities are particularly severe in our businesses due to their inherent nature because of flammability and toxicity of hydrocarbons and of industrial processes to develop, extract, refine and transport oil, gas and products. Generally, these laws and regulations require acquisition of a permit before drilling for hydrocarbons may commence, restrict the types, quantities and concentration of various substances that can be released into the environment in connection with exploration, drilling and production activities, including refinery and petrochemical plant operations, limit or prohibit drilling activities in certain protected areas, require to remove and dismantle drilling platforms and other equipment and well plug-in once oil and gas operations have terminated, provide for measures to be taken to protect the safety of the workplace and of plants and infrastructures, the health of employees, contractors and other Company collaborators and of communities involved by the Company's activities, and impose criminal or civil liabilities for polluting the environment or harming employees' or communities' health and safety as result from the Group's operations. These laws and regulations control the emission of scrap substances and pollutants, discipline the handling of hazardous materials and set limits to or prohibit the discharge of soil, water or groundwater contaminants, emissions of toxic gases and other air pollutants or can impose taxes on polluting air emissions, as in the case of the European Trading Scheme that requires the payment of a tax for each tonns of carbon dioxide emitted in the environment above a pre-set allowance, resulting from the operation of oil and natural gas extraction and processing plants, petrochemical plants, refineries, service stations, vessels, oil carriers, pipeline systems and other facilities owned or operated by Eni. In addition, Eni's operations are subject to laws and regulations relating to the production, handling, transportation, storage, disposal and treatment of waste. Breaches of environmental, health and safety laws and regulations as in the case of negligent or willful release of pollutants and contaminants into the atmosphere, the soil, water or groundwater or exceeding the concentration thresholds of contaminants set by the law expose the Company to the incurrence of liabilities associated with compensation for environmental, health or safety damage and expenses for environmental remediation and clean-up. Furthermore, in the case of violation of certain rules regarding the safeguard of the environment and the health of employees, contractors and other collaborators of the Company, and of communities, the Company may incur liabilities in connection with the negligent or willful violation of laws by its employees as per Italian Law Decree No. 231/2001.
Environmental, health and safety laws and regulations have a substantial impact on Eni's operations. Management expects that the Group will continue to incur significant amounts of operating expenses and expenditures in the foreseeable future to comply with laws and regulations and to safeguard the environment and the health and safety of employees, contractors and communities involved by the Company operations, including:
• costs to prevent, control, eliminate or reduce certain types of air and water emissions and handle waste and other hazardous materials, including the costs incurred in connection with government action to address climate change (see the specific section below on climate-related risks);
• remedial and clean-up measures related to environmental contamination or accidents at various sites, including those owned by third parties (see discussion below);
• damage compensation claimed by individuals and entities, including local, regional or state administrations, should Eni cause any kind of accident, oil spill, well blowouts, pollution, contamination, emission of GHG and other air pollutants above permitted levels or of any other hazardous gases, water, ground or air contaminants or pollutants, as a result of its operations or if the Company is found guilty of violating environmental laws and regulations; and
• costs in connection with the decommissioning and removal of drilling platforms and other facilities, and well plugging at the end of oil&gas field production.
As a further consequence of any new laws and regulations or other factors, like the actual or alleged occurrence of environmental damage at Eni's plants and facilities, the Company may be forced to curtail, modify or cease certain operations or implement temporary shutdowns of facilities. For example, in Italy Eni has experienced in recent years a number of temporary plant shutdowns at our Val d'Agri oil treatment centre due to environmental issues and oil spillovers, causing loss of output and of revenues. The Italian judicial authorities have started legal proceedings to verify alleged environmental crimes or crimes against the public safety and other criminal allegations as described in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. If any of the risks set out above materialise, they could adversely impact the Group's results of operations, cash flow, liquidity, business prospects, financial condition, and shareholder returns, including dividends, the amount of funds available for stock repurchases and the price of Eni's shares.
Current, negative trends in gas demands and supplies in Europe may impair the Company's ability to fulfil its minimum off-take obligations in connection with its take-or-pay, long-term gas supply contracts
In the first half of 2021, gas prices in Europe, following the strong recovery in the energy scenario, recorded very significant increases in the main benchmarks compared to the first half of 2020 (PSV for the Italian market up by 138%; TTF for the North-Western European markets up by 187%). This performance was driven by a growth in gas demand in Europe which substantially recovered to pre-COVID-19 levels as well as by lower LNG imports due to higher demand, mainly in the Pacific basin, both for the economic recovery and for the particularly winter conditions in the South-East Asia. Gas reference prices at the continental spot markets (TTF) driven by the reduction in LNG import flows reported a greater increase compared to the benchmark price of the Italian spot market (PSV), the latter being held back by the persistence of oversupply in the Italian market due to the start-up of the new TAP import pipeline and the greater imports from North Africa. These drivers were reflected in the substantial reduction of the spreads between the two benchmarks. This trend in the spreads of gas prices significantly and negatively affected the performance of wholesale marketing business in the first half of 2021, which is exposed to the spread between spot prices in the Italian market, the main benchmark of selling prices, and spot prices at the continental hubs to which supply costs are indexed. The low liquidity of the Italian spot market does not allow the implementation of effective risk management activities to limit exposure to this market risk.
Eni is currently party to a few long-term gas supply contracts with state-owned companies of key producing countries, from where most of the gas supplies directed to Europe are sourced via pipeline (Russia, Algeria, Libya and Norway). These contracts which were intended to support Eni's sales plan in Italy and in other European markets, provide take-or-pay clauses whereby the Company has an obligation to lift minimum, pre-set volumes of gas in each year of the contractual term or, in case of failure, to pay the whole price, or a fraction of that price, up to a minimum contractual quantity. Similar considerations apply to ship-or-pay contractual obligations which arise from contracts with pipeline owners, which the Company has entered into to secure long-term transport capacity. Long-term gas supply contracts with take-or pay clauses expose the Company to a volume risk, as the Company is obligated to purchase an annual minimum volume of gas, or in case of failure, to pay the underlying price. The structure of the Company's portfolio of gas supply contracts is a risk to the profitability outlook of Eni's wholesale gas business due to the current competitive dynamics in the European gas markets. In past downturns of the gas sector, the Company incurred
significant cash outflows in response to its take-or-pay obligations. Furthermore, the Company's wholesale business is exposed to volatile spreads between the procurement costs of gas, which are linked to spot prices at European hubs or to the price of crude oil, and the selling prices of gas which are mainly indexed to spot prices at the Italian hub.
Eni's management is planning to continue its strategy of renegotiating the Company's long-term gas supply contracts in order to constantly align pricing terms to current market conditions as they evolve and to obtain greater operational flexibility to better manage the take-or-pay obligations (volumes and delivery points among others), considering the risk factors described above. The revision clauses included in these contracts state the right of each counterparty to renegotiate the economic terms and other contractual conditions periodically, in relation to ongoing changes in the gas scenario. Management believes that the outcome of those renegotiations is uncertain in respect of both the amount of the economic benefits that will be ultimately obtained and the timing of recognition of profit. Furthermore, in case Eni and the gas suppliers fail to agree on revised contractual terms, both parties can start an arbitration procedure to obtain revised contractual conditions. All these possible developments within the renegotiation process could increase the level of risks and uncertainties relating the outcome of those renegotiations.
Eni is the defendant in a number of civil and criminal actions and administrative proceedings. In future years Eni may incur significant losses due to: (i) uncertainty regarding the final outcome of each proceeding; (ii) the occurrence of new developments that management could not take into consideration when evaluating the likely outcome of each proceeding in order to accrue the risk provisions as of the date of the latest financial statements or to judge a negative outcome only as possible or to conclude that a contingency loss could not be estimated reliably; (iii) the emergence of new evidence and information; and underestimation of probable future losses due to circumstances that are often inherently difficult to estimate. Certain legal proceedings and investigations in which Eni or its subsidiaries or its officers and employees are defendants involve the alleged breach of anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws and regulations and other ethical misconduct. Such proceedings are described in the notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, under the heading "Legal Proceedings". Ethical misconduct and noncompliance with applicable laws and regulations, including noncompliance with anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws, by Eni, its officers and employees, its partners, agents or others that act on the Group's behalf, could expose Eni and its employees to criminal and civil penalties and could be damaging to Eni's reputation and shareholder value.
The Group's activities depend heavily on the reliability and security of its information technology (IT) systems and digital security. The Group's IT systems, some of which are managed by third parties, are susceptible to being compromised, damaged, disrupted or shutdown due to failures during the process of upgrading or replacing software, databases or components, power or network outages, hardware failures, cyber-attacks (viruses, computer intrusions), user errors or natural disasters. The cyber threat is constantly evolving. The oil and gas industry is subject to fast-evolving risks from cyber threat actors, including nation states, criminals, terrorists, hacktivists and insiders. Attacks are becoming more sophisticated with regularly renewed techniques while the digital transformation amplifies exposure to these cyber threats. The adoption of new technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT) or the migration to the cloud, as well as the evolution of architectures for increasingly interconnected systems, are all areas where cyber security is a very important issue. The Group and its service providers may not be able to prevent third parties from breaking into the Group's IT systems, disrupting business operations or communications infrastructure through denial-of-service attacks, or gaining access to confidential or sensitive information held in the system. The Group, like many companies, has been and expects to continue to be the target of attempted cybersecurity attacks. While the Group has not experienced any such attack that has had a material impact on its business, the Group cannot guarantee that its security measures will be sufficient to prevent a material disruption, breach or compromise in the future. As a result, the Group's activities and assets could sustain serious damage, services to clients could be interrupted, material intellectual property could be divulged and, in some cases, personal injury, property damage, environmental harm and regulatory violations could occur. If any of the risks set out above materialize, they could adversely impact the Group's results of operations, cash flow, liquidity, business prospects, financial condition, and shareholder returns, including dividends, the amount of funds available for stock repurchases and the price of Eni's share.
All the other targets are reaffirmed as previously guided:
1 In line with the dividend policy announced to the financial market during the strategy presention held on February 19, 2021, (see page 31) of which at the following URL https://eni.com/assets/documents/eng/investor/presentations/2021/strategy-4q-2020/strategy-2021-2024.pdf. 2 The procedure to implement the buy-back program are detailed in the section "Other information – start of the buy-back program" of this Report.

Certain provisions have been enacted to regulate continuing Italian listing standards of issuers controlling subsidiaries that are incorporated or regulated in accordance with laws of extra-EU Countries, also having a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the parent company.
Regarding the aforementioned provisions, the Company discloses that:

Ltd, Eni Petroleum Co Inc, Eni Congo SA, Nigerian Agip Exploration Ltd, Eni Canada Holding Ltd, Eni Ghana Exploration and Production Ltd, Eni Trading & Shipping Inc, Eni Finance USA Inc, Eni UK Ltd, Eni UK Holding Plc, Eni Investments Plc, Eni Lasmo Plc and Eni ULX Ltd;
the Company has already adopted adequate procedures to ensure full compliance with the new regulations.

For the description of the main transactions with related parties, see Note 32 of the Condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
Eni's Board of Directors, chaired by Lucia Calvosa, on July 29, 2021, approved the start of the buy-back program for 2021, for a maximum amount of €400 million and a share count no greater than 252 million, in accordance with the targets set by the 2021-2024 strategic plan assuming a Brent reference scenario of 65 \$/barrel and in execution of the authorization granted by the Shareholders Meeting held on May 12, 2021.
The buy-back program is aimed at recognizing shareholders an additional remuneration to complement the dividend distribution.
Purchases will be initiated in the last part of August 2021 and will end at the latest in April 2022.
The program will be executed through an authorized agent, who will take decisions regarding purchases at its own discretion, also in relation to the timing of the transactions and in compliance with daily price and volume thresholds. In particular, the purchase price of the shares will not deviate upwardly or downwardly by more than 5% from the official price of the day prior to each individual transaction recorded for the Eni S.p.A. share in the Electronic Share Market organized and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. ("MTA").
However, it cannot be higher than the higher price between the price of the last independent transaction and the price of the highest current independent purchase offer on the MTA.
Purchases will be made on the MTA, in compliance with art. 144-bis, paragraph 1, lett. b) of Consob Regulation 11971/1999 and the additional conditions provided for by the resolution of the Shareholders' Meeting of May 12, 2021, as well as complying with the provisions of Regulation (EU) 596/2014 on market abuse and the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052.
As of July 29, 2021, Eni holds 33,045,197 treasury shares, equal to 0.92% of the share capital, purchased under previous buy-back programs. Eni's controlled subsidiaries do not hold Eni's shares. Details on purchases will be disseminated to the market in compliance with terms and conditions defined by the current legislation.

The macroeconomic environment has progressively improved during the first half of 2021 due to an effective vaccination campaign against Covid-19 in USA, UK and in the countries of Northwestern Europe, allowing for the gradual reopening of the economies and the recovery of the production activities. The strong performance of the Chinese GDP has strengthened the business cycle. In this context, oil demand rebounded significantly from the depressed level recorded during the pandemic peak in the second quarter of 2020. In the first half of 2021, oil prices increased 60% compared to the same period of 2020, also supported by the production management carried out by OPEC+ and by financial discipline of the international oil companies that maintained their investments at the levels of 2020. These developments have underpinned the significant improvement in the consolidated results of the Eni Group in the first half of 2021. The Group earned a profit of €1,103 million compared to a loss of €7,335 million of the first half of 2020, while the cash flow from operating activities increased by 72.1% to €4,093 million. However, the economy and consumer behavior have not yet returned to pre-pandemic normalcy as highlighted by the slow recovery in the airline sector, while downside risks are still lingering of the possible spread of new virus variants that can derail the growth trend of economies and the recovery of the global energy demand. Some operating segments of the Group have continued to face a difficult market environment, particularly the refining business which performance was affected by weak demands for jet fuel which led to an excess of supply in middle distillates and a significant deterioration of product spreads with respect to cost of crude oil with refining margins at historic lows, not seen even during the most severe phase of the pandemic. based on a depressed refining scenario and higher compliance costs for the purchase of emission allowances, management has revised the profitability outlook of the refining assets with the recognition of write-downs of about €900 million. Management confirms a conservative and selective financial framework in making investment decisions and continues to favor the preservation of the balance sheet in the cash allocation policy against a more constructive macro-backdrop compared to the beginning of the year or the corresponding period a year ago. Overall, the measures implemented in 2020, consisting in containing capital expenditures and reducing costs to counter the effects of the pandemic, allowed the Group to fully benefit from the recovery of the oil scenario with the exception, as highlighted, of the refining activity. The improvement in the Company's fundamentals, the robustness of the balance sheet, growth in cash flow after funding capital expenditures and the prospects of the oil market and the Group performance for the reminder of the year allow the management to significantly increase the cash returns to the shareholders in a Brent scenario of \$65/bbl based on the Eni's Remuneration Policy. The Company is planning for an annual dividend of €0.86 per share, of which 50% will be paid as interim in September; also a share buy-back program of €400 million will be activated over the next six months.
The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements as of June 30, 2021 (hereinafter Interim Financial Statements) have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with the requirements of IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" (hereinafter IAS 34).
The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the same principles of consolidation and accounting policies described in the last Consolidated Annual Financial Statements (see the related report for more information), except for applying the International Financial Reporting Standards (hereinafter also IFRSs) effective from January 1, 2021, disclosed in the note "IFRSs not yet effective" of the last Consolidated Annual Financial Statements. Consistently with the requirements of IAS 34, the Interim Financial Statements include selected explanatory notes; conversely, the primary financial statements have been prepared in conformity to the requirements of IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" for a complete set of financial statements.
Current income taxes have been calculated based on the estimated taxable profit for the interim period. Current income tax assets and liabilities have been measured at the amount expected to be paid to/recovered from the taxation Authorities, using tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period and the tax rates estimated on an annual basis.
Investments in subsidiaries, joint arrangements and associates as of June 30, 2021 are presented in the annex "List of companies owned by Eni SpA as of June 30, 2021". This annex includes also the changes in the scope of consolidation.
On July 29, 2021, Eni's Board of Directors approved the Interim Financial Statements as of June 30, 2021. The external auditor PricewaterhouseCoopers SpA carried out a limited review of the Interim Financial Statements; a limited review is significantly less in scope than an audit performed in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards.
The Interim Financial Statements are presented in euros and all values are rounded to the nearest million euros (€ million).
As indicated in the last Consolidated Annual Financial Statements, starting from 2021, the amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 "Interest Rate Benchmark Reform — Phase 2" (hereinafter the amendments) are effective. The amendments provide practical expedients and temporary exceptions from the application of some IFRS requirements related to financial instruments measured at amortised cost and/or hedging relationships modified as a consequence of the interest rate benchmark reform. This reform, still ongoing, provides for the replacement of some benchmark interest rates, e.g. LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate), with alternative risk-free rates.
With reference to the Eni Group, the cases affected by the IBOR reform essentially concern floating rate financial assets and floating rate financial liabilities measured at amortised cost and derivative financial instruments for which operational issues are mainly identified (e.g. renegotiation of loans with counterparties, implementation of fallback clauses, updating of information systems, etc.).
On this regard, an internal working group has been set up to monitor the regulatory and market developments, as well as to support the assessment of the impacts arising from the reform, the measurement of the exposures to benchmark rates to be replaced, the identification of the changes to be implemented and the transition to alternative risk-free rates.
As June 30, 2021, the Group holds, principally, financial instruments indexed to EONIA (European OverNight Index Average) and USD LIBOR benchmark rates, affected by the reform, which will be replaced, respectively, by December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2023, with €STR (Euro Short-Term Rate) and with SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate). Furthermore, the Group plans to adhere, by the end of 2021, to the IBOR fallbacks protocol published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA).
The Group is currently completing the mapping of the contracts affected by the reform and assessing any related impacts.
The significant accounting estimates and judgements made by management are disclosed in the last Consolidated Annual Financial Statements.
Besides the IFRSs not yet effective already disclosed in the last Consolidated Annual Financial Statements, a brief description of the recent pronouncements from the IASB and the EU endorsement activities is set out below.
By the Commission Regulation No. 2021/1080 issued by the European Commission on June 28, 2021, the following amendments were adopted:
the amendments to IAS 37, aimed to provide clarifications for the purpose of assessing whether a contract is onerous;
The abovementioned amendments shall be applied for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022.
On March 31, 2021, the IASB issued the amendments to IFRS 16 "Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions beyond 30 June 2021" (hereinafter the amendments to IFRS 16), aimed to extend the availability of the practical expedient, introduced in 2020 to permit lessees not to apply the lease modification requirements to rent concessions that occur as a direct consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic, also to rent concessions that reduce lease payments originally due on or before 30 June 2022, provided the other conditions for applying the practical expedient are met. The amendments to IFRS 16 shall be applied for annual reporting periods beginning on or after April 1, 2021.
On May 7, 2021, the IASB issued the amendments to IAS 12 "Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction" (hereinafter the amendments to IAS 12), aimed to require companies to recognise deferred tax on particular transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal amounts of taxable and deductible temporary differences. The amendments to IAS 12 shall be applied for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023.
Eni is currently reviewing the International Financial Reporting Standards not yet effective in order to determine the likely impact on the Group's financial statements.

The breakdown by issuing entity and credit rating of securities does not show significant changes compared to the Annual Report 2020.
The fair value hierarchy is level 1 for €6,068 million and level 2 for €339 million. During the first half of 2021, there were no significant transfers between the different hierarchy levels of fair value.

The increase in trade receivables of €2,359 million related to the Refining & Marketing and Chemical segment for €1,146 million and to Global Gas & LNG Portfolio segment for €833 million.
In the first half of 2021, Eni divested without recourse receivables due beyond June 30, 2021 for €1,585 million (€1,377 million at December 31, 2020 due in 2021). Derecognized receivables related to trade receivables of the Refining & Marketing and Chemical segment for €1,131 million, Global Gas & LNG Portfolio segment for €398 million and Eni gas e luce, Power & Renewables segment for €56 million.
Receivables from joint ventures in exploration and production activities included amounts due by partners in unincorporated joint operations in Nigeria for €949 million (€1,015 million at December 31, 2020) in respect of contractual recovery of expenditures incurred at certain oil projects operated by Eni. The Nigerian national oil company NNPC owed Eni €510 million (€605 million at December 31, 2020), in relation to the funding of past investments. About 50% of this amount is subject to a "Repayment Agreement", whereby Eni is to be reimbursed through the sale of the entitlement attributable to NNPC in certain rig-less petroleum initiatives with low mineral risk, with an expected completion of the reimbursement plan within the next two years based on Eni's Brent price scenario. The receivable is stated net of a discount factor equal to 8%, calculated based on the risk of the underlying mineral initiative.
A privately held Nigerian oil company owed Eni €153 million of overdue receivable in connection with the funding of capital expenditures (€134 million at December 31, 2020). This amount was stated net of a provision based on the loss given default (LGD) defined by Eni for international oil companies in default status. During the first half of 2021, the partner suspended the payments of the cash calls, making a claim against the amounts billed. Arbitration procedures have been started for the resolution of the dispute.
At 30 June 2021, Egyptian national oil companies owed Eni €433 million of trade receivables for the supply of the gas produced by Eni in the country. In the previous years, an overdue receivables repayment plan (Proceed Settlement Agreement) was carried out starting in 2015, which provided cash advances in favor of Eni in Egyptian Pounds in relation to the funding of the operations of the Concession Agreements (including the Zohr project) in Country, to be offset by up to 35% of the amounts billed for the gas supplies to the national oil companies. The agreement ensured the repayment of the overdue until June 2021 when the advance was fully utilized.
Receivables from other counterparties comprised overdue trade receivables for €388 million (€376 million at December 31, 2020) towards the state-owned oil company of Venezuela, PDVSA, in relation to gas equity volumes supplied by the joint venture Cardón IV, equally participated by Eni and Repsol. Those trade receivables were divested by the joint venture to the two shareholders. The receivables were stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts calculated considering an expected loss rate of 53%, estimated on the basis of average recovery percentages obtained by creditors in the context of sovereign defaults, adjusted to reflect the strategic value to an economy of the Oil & Gas sector. The tightening of the US sanction framework against Venezuela has prevented the implementation of a mechanism of credit offsetting through in-kind refunds, with assignments to Eni of oil products of PDVSA. Therefore, the amount of the receivable remained unchanged compared to the end of 2020, while the joint venture did not record collections for the supplies of gas volumes supplied in the period.
Amounts billed to customers following the triggering of the take-or-pay clause at long-term supply contracts amounted to €212 million (€325 million at December 31, 2020).
Trade and other receivables were stated net of a valuation allowance for doubtful accounts of €3,056 million (€3,157 million at December 31, 2020).
Net (impairment losses) reversals of trade and other receivables are disclosed as follows:

Additions to the allowance for doubtful accounts for trade and other receivables related: (i) for €140 million to the Exploration & Production segment provisions in relation to cash calls towards joint operators – State oil Companies or International Oil Companies – in oil projects operated by Eni; (ii) for €89 million to the Eni gas e luce business line, particularly in the retail business.
Reversals of unused provisions related to the Exploration & Production segment for €169 million of which €150 million in relation to utilizations against the derecognition of receivables from the Nigerian state-owned company NNPC due to a settlement which recognized Eni's rights to cost recovery as part of a larger agreement defining the extension and revision of the contractual terms of the license. The settled amounts will be reimbursed through the attribution to Eni and the other partners of a share of the state company's oil entitlements in the project.

Unproved mineral interests comprised the Oil Prospecting License 245 property in pre-development phase located offshore Nigeria, with an initial value of €825 million corresponding to the price paid in 2011 to the Nigerian Government to acquire a 50% interest in the property, with the partner Shell acquiring the remaining 50%. As of June 30, 2021, the net book value of the property amounted to €1,120 million, including capitalized exploration costs and pre-development costs. The acquisition of OPL 245 is subject to judicial proceedings in Italy and in Nigeria for alleged corruption and money laundering in respect of the Resolution Agreement signed on April 29, 2011, relating to the purchase of the license by Eni and Shell. This proceeding is fully disclosed in note 27 – Guarantees, Commitments and Risks of the Annual Financial Report 2020. The exploration period of the license OPL 245 expired on May 11, 2021. Eni is awaiting the conversion of the license into an Oil Mining Lease (OML) from the relevant Nigerian authorities to start the development of the reserves, having submitted an application for the conversion within the contractual terms and having verified compliance with all conditions and requirements provided for. Based on these considerations, Eni believes to have acquired the right to conversion. Consistently, the assessment of the recoverability of the asset book value was made in accordance with its value-in-use, which confirmed the book value also incorporating a stress test assuming possible delays in the start of production activities. However, considering the inaction of the Nigerian authorities in charge of the matter towards the legitimate request of the Company, in September 2020 Eni started an arbitration at ICSID, the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes, to protect the value of its asset. In case of refusal to conversion, a continuing deadlock by the Nigerian authorities or other action suggesting an expropriation, in the next financial reports the Company will consider a reclassification of the asset and the evaluation of the underlying right for compensation.
With regard to the legal proceedings before the Italian Judicial Authority, after the end of the reporting period, the Company was informed of an appeal filed by the Public Prosecutor and the recurring plaintiffs against the first instance acquittal sentence issued by the Court of Milan on 17 March, 2021.

Changes in the scope of consolidation of goodwill related for €167 million to the 100% acquisition of Aldro Energía y Soluciones SLU, a company operating in the market for the sale of electricity, gas and energy services to residential customers, small and medium-sized businesses and big companies and for €79 million to the 100% acquisition of FRI-EL Biogas Holding (now EniBioCh4in SpA), leader in the Italian biogas production sector. Goodwill deriving from business combinations was determined on a provisional basis.
The carrying amount of goodwill is stated net of cumulative impairment charges amounting to €2,466 million as of June 30, 2021.
In the first half of 2021, management did not identify any impairment indicator relating to goodwill.
The criteria adopted to identify the Group's Cash Generating Units (CGU) and to perform the impairment review of the recoverability of the carrying amounts of fixed assets remain unchanged from the Annual Report 2020 (see note 14 – Impairment review of tangible and intangible assets and right-of-use assets).
During the first half of 2021, the energy scenario has strengthened considerably compared to the corresponding period of last year and the situation at the beginning of the year. Oil market were supported by better fundamentals due to the reopening of the US and European economies which lifted consumption, while oil supply was limited by the production management implemented by countries of the OPEC+ alliance and by the financial discipline and capital constraints of international oil companies and, in particular, US producers of shale oil. World crude oil inventories gradually normalized, returning in line with historical averages. These developments drove an increase in the price of crude oil with the Brent reference price up by of approximately 60%. Natural gas prices recorded double or triple increases due to a particularly cold winter season in Southern-Eastern Asia and the reduction in the production of associated gas by US shale upstreamers which reduced global LNG oversupply. Therefore, there were no impairment indicators for the Exploration & Production segment.
The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) used to discount cash flows associated to the CGUs remained essentially unchanged, as management recognized a low reduction in the market risk premium parameters and in the yields of risk-free assets, offset by an increase in the volatility of the Eni stare.
In addition, the impairment indicator represented by the difference between the market capitalization of Eni and the book value of consolidated net assets has substantially halved compared to the end of 2020.
The improvement in the economic cycle has yet to be felt in other of Eni's operating segments. The refining business was negatively and materially affected by a depressed scenario with the Eni SERM benchmark margin falling to historical lows and below zero throughout the first half 2021. This trend was driven by the persistence of the effects of the pandemic which forced the countries of the OPEC+ alliance to slowly curb the production quotas thus supporting the cost of crude oil, while demands for products was weak, in particular for middle distillates. In addition, expenses for the purchase of emission allowances under the European ETS have doubled as result of the recovery in the economic activities and the emission reduction targets provided for by the new European climate law. Based on these drivers, management revised downwards the short-to-medium term projections of future expected cash flows associated to refineries, recognizing an impairment of about €900 million, substantially zeroing the residual carrying amount of Sannazzaro and Milazzo plants and of the joint operations in Germany. Cash flows were discounted by using the WACC adjusted for country risk equal to 6.3%.
These impairments were partially offset by reversals of previous impairment losses at some Exploration & Production CGUs for €376 million, in particular, gas fields in Italy and other assets in Turkmenistan, Libya, Algeria, Nigeria, Timor Leste and USA, mainly driven by higher hydrocarbon prices.

Acquisitions and share capital increases mainly related for €478 million to the acquisition from Equinor New Energy and SSE Renewables of a 20% stake in Doggerbank Offshore Wind Farm Project 1 Holdco Ltd and Doggerbank Offshore Wind Farm Project 2 Holdco Ltd, which are developing the Dogger Bank (A and B) offshore wind project for electricity production in the British North Sea for a total capacity at 100% of 2.4 GW (480 MW in Eni's interest). The construction is expected to be completed by 2023-2024.
Divestments and reimbursement essentially related to the sale of Unión Fenosa Gas SA for €233 million to the Spanish partner Naturgy following the corporate restructuring of Unión Fenosa Gas through the splitting of the related assets among the shareholders.
Eni's share of the results of entities accounted for under the equity method mainly comprised a loss incurred at the Vår Energi AS joint venture for €254 million due to impairment losses recorded at the CGUs of the investee driven by a delayed start-up of certain projects and cost overruns and of the Saipem SpA joint venture for €242 million driven by losses at contract works.
Deduction for dividends related for €276 million to Vår Energi AS.
As of June 30, 2021, the carrying amount and the market value of Saipem SpA, the only company owned by Eni listed in a regulated stock market, was as follows:
| Saipem SpA | ||

As of June 30, 2021, the fair value of Saipem was 5% lower than the book value in Eni's financial statements. Given the volatility of the stock and the significant investment cuts implemented by the oil companies in the short and medium term in response to the uncertainties of the oil scenario and the review of capital allocation policies, management performed an impairment review of the book value of the investment based on an internal estimation of its value in use, which supported the carrying amount.
As of June 30, 2021, the book value of the investments included Abu Dhabi Oil Refining Co (Takreer) for €2,401 million, Angola LNG Ltd for €1,098 million, Saipem SpA for €662 million and Vår Energi SA for €640 million.

Financing receivables are stated net of the valuation allowance for doubtful accounts of €393 million (€352 million at December 31, 2020).
Financing receivables held for operating purposes primarily related to funds provided to joint agreements and associates for the execution of industrial projects of interest to Eni in the Exploration & Production segment (€900 million). These receivables are the expression of long-term interests in the underlying industrial initiatives. The largest exposure was towards the joint venture Cardón IV SA (Eni's interest 50%) in Venezuela, which is currently operating the Perla offshore gas field, with €421 million of financing receivable (€383 million at December 31, 2020). This amount will be recovered through the cash flows associated with the sales of gas reserves which have discounted to factor in a higher level of the counterparty risk by considering a deferral in the timing of collection of future revenues.
Fair value of non-current financing receivables held for operating purposes of €969 million has been estimated based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at rates ranging from -0.5% to 1.8% (-0.5% and 1.4% at December 31, 2020).
Financing receivables held for non-operating purposes primarily related to bank deposits and restricted deposits in escrow to guarantee transactions on derivative contracts.
Fair value of securities derived from quoted market prices and amounted to €55 million.

The non-dilutive equity-linked bond provides for a redemption value linked to the market price of Eni's shares. The bondholders have "conversion" rights at certain times and/or in the presence of certain events, while the bonds will be cash-settled, without dilutive effects for the shareholders. Accordingly, to hedge its exposure, Eni purchased cash-settled call options relating to Eni shares that will be settled on a net cash basis. The bond conversion price is equal €17.62 and includes a 35% premium with respect to the Eni's share reference price at the date of issuance. The convertible bond is measured at amortized cost. The conversion option, embedded in the financial instrument issued, and the call option on Eni's shares acquired are valued at fair value with effects recognized through profit and loss. The bond expires within the next 18 months.
As part of the Euro Medium Term Notes program, in the first half of 2021, Eni issued a sustainability-linked bond for a nominal amount of €1 billion linked to the achievement of the following sustainability targets: (i) net carbon footprint upstream (GHG emission Scope 1 and 2) equal to or lower than 7.4 million tons of CO2 equivalent as of December 31, 2024; (ii) renewable energy installed capacity equal to or greater than 5 GW as of December 31, 2025. If one of the targets is not achieved, a step-up mechanism will be applied, increasing the interest rate.

Financial risks are managed in respect of the guidelines issued by the Board of Directors of Eni SpA in its role of directing and setting the risk limits, targeting to align and centrally coordinate Group companies' policies on financial risks ("Guidelines on financial risks management and control"). The "Guidelines" define for each financial risk the key components of the management and control process, such as the target of the risk management, the valuation methodology, the structure of limits, the relationship model and the hedging and mitigation instruments.
Market risk is the possibility that changes in currency exchange rates, interest rates or commodity prices will adversely affect the value of the Group's financial assets, liabilities or expected future cash flows. The Company actively manages market risk in accordance with a set of policies and guidelines that provide a centralized model of handling finance, treasury and risk management transactions based on the Company's departments of operational finance: the parent company's (Eni SpA) finance department, Eni Finance International SA, Eni Finance USA Inc and Banque Eni SA, which is subject to certain bank regulatory restrictions preventing the Group's exposure to concentrations of credit risk, and Eni Global Energy Markets SpA (EGEM) and Eni Trade & Biofuels SpA (ETB) that are in charge to execute certain activities relating to commodity derivatives. In particular, Eni Corporate finance department, Eni Finance International SA and Eni Finance USA Inc manage subsidiaries' financing requirements in and outside Italy and in the United States of America, respectively, covering funding requirements and using available surpluses. All transactions concerning currencies and derivative contracts on interest rates and currencies different from commodities of Eni are managed by Eni Corporate finance department, while EGEM and ETB execute, by area of competence, the negotiation of commodity derivatives over the market. Eni SpA, EGEM and ETB (also through the subsidiary Eni Trading & Shipping Inc) perform trading activities in financial derivatives on external trading venues, such as European and non-European regulated markets, Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF), Organized Trading Facility (OTF), or similar and brokerage platforms (i.e. SEF), and over the counter on a bilateral basis with external counterparties. Other legal entities belonging to Eni that require financial derivatives enter into these transactions through EGEM, ETB and Eni SpA based on the relevant asset class expertise. Eni uses derivative financial instruments (derivatives) in order to minimize exposure to market risks related to fluctuations in exchange rates relating to those transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency (the euro) and interest rates, as well as to optimize exposure to commodity prices fluctuations taking into account the currency in which commodities are quoted. Eni monitors every activity in derivatives classified as risk-reducing (in particular, back-to-back activities, flow hedging activities, asset-backed hedging activities and portfolio-management activities) directly or indirectly related to covered industrial assets, so as to effectively optimize the risk profile to which Eni is exposed or could be exposed. If the result of the monitoring shows those derivatives should not be considered as risk reducing, these derivatives are reclassified in proprietary trading. As proprietary trading is considered separately from the other activities in specific portfolios of EGEM and ETB, their exposure is subject to specific controls, both in terms of Value at Risk (VaR) and stop loss and in terms of nominal gross value. For Eni, the gross nominal value of proprietary trading activities is compared with the limits set by the relevant international standards. The framework defined by Eni's policies and guidelines provides that the valuation and control of market risk is performed on the basis of maximum tolerable levels of risk exposure defined in terms of limits of stop loss, which expresses the maximum tolerable amount of losses associated with a certain portfolio of assets over a pre-defined time horizon; limits of revision strategy, which consist in the triggering of a revision process of the strategy in the event of exceeding the level of profit and loss given and VaR, which measures the maximum potential loss of the portfolio, given a certain confidence level and holding period, assuming adverse changes in market variables and taking into account the correlation among the different positions held in the portfolio. Eni's finance department defines the maximum tolerable levels of risk exposure to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates in terms of VaR, pooling Group companies' risk positions maximizing, when possible, the benefits of the netting activity. Eni's calculation and valuation techniques for interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risks are in accordance with banking standards, as established by the Basel Committee for bank activities surveillance. Tolerable levels of risk are based on a conservative approach, considering the industrial nature of the Company. Eni's guidelines prescribe that Eni Group companies minimize such kinds of market risks by transferring risk exposure to the parent company finance department. Eni's guidelines define rules to manage the commodity risk aiming at optimizing core activities and pursuing preset targets of stabilizing industrial and commercial margins. The maximum tolerable level of risk exposure is defined in terms of VaR, limits of revision strategy, stop loss and volumes in connection with exposure deriving from commercial activities, as well as exposure deriving from proprietary trading, exclusively managed by EGEM and ETB. Internal mandates to manage the commodity risk provide for a mechanism of allocation of the Group maximum tolerable risk level to each business unit. In this framework, EGEM and ETB, in addition to managing risk exposure associated with their own commercial activity and proprietary trading, pool the requests for negotiating commodity derivatives and execute them in the marketplace.
According to the targets of financial structure included in the financial plan approved by the Board of Directors, Eni decided to retain a cash reserve to face any extraordinary requirement. Eni's finance department, with the aim of optimizing the efficiency and ensuring maximum protection of capital, manages such reserve and its immediate liquidity within the limits assigned. The management of strategic cash is part of the asset management pursued through transactions on own risk in view of optimizing financial returns, while respecting authorized risk levels, safeguarding the Company's assets and retaining quick access to liquidity. The four different market risks, whose management and control have been summarized above, are described below.
Exchange rate risk derives from the fact that Eni's operations are conducted in currencies other than euro (mainly U.S. dollar). Revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies may be significantly affected by exchange rate fluctuations due to conversion differences on single transactions arising from the time lag existing between execution and definition of relevant contractual terms (economic risk) and conversion of foreign currency-denominated trade and financing payables and receivables (transactional risk). Exchange rate fluctuations affect the Group's reported results and net equity as financial statements of subsidiaries denominated in currencies other than euro are translated from their functional currency into euro. Generally, an appreciation of U.S. dollar versus euro has a positive impact on Eni's results of operations, and vice versa. Eni's foreign exchange risk management policy is to minimize transactional exposures arising from foreign currency movements and to optimize exposures arising from commodity risk. Eni does not undertake any hedging activity for risks deriving from the translation of foreign currency denominated profits or assets and liabilities of subsidiaries, which prepare financial statements in a currency other than euro, except for single transactions to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Effective management of exchange rate risk is performed within Eni's finance departments, which pool Group companies' positions, hedging the Group net exposure by using certain derivatives, such as currency swaps, forwards and options. Such derivatives are evaluated at fair value based on market prices provided by specialized info-providers. The VaR techniques are based on variance/covariance simulation models and are used to monitor the risk exposure arising from possible future changes in market values over a 24-hour period within a 99% confidence level and a 20-day holding period.
Changes in interest rates affect the market value of financial assets and liabilities of the Company and the level of finance charges.
Eni's interest rate risk management policy is to minimize risk with the aim to achieve financial structure objectives defined and approved in management's "Finance plan". The Group's central departments pool borrowing requirements of the Group companies in order to manage net positions and fund portfolio developments consistent with management plan, thereby maintaining a level of risk exposure within prescribed limits. Eni enters into interest rate derivative transactions, in particular interest rate swaps, to effectively manage the balance between fixed and floating rate debt. Such derivatives are evaluated at fair value based on market prices provided from specialized sources. VaR deriving from interest rate exposure is measured daily based on a variance/covariance model, with a 99% confidence level and a 20-day holding period.
Price risk of commodities is identified as the possibility that fluctuations in the price of materials and basic products produce significant changes in operating margins, determining a negative impact such as to compromise the economic/financial results of Eni as well as the targets defined in the four-year plan and in the budget. The commodity price risk arises in connection with the following exposures: (i) strategic exposure: exposures directly identified by the Board of Directors as a result of strategic investment decisions or outside the planning horizon of risk management. These exposures include, for example, exposures associated with the program for the production of Oil & Gas reserves, long-term gas supply contracts for the portion not balanced by sales contracts (already stipulated or expected) outside the risk planning horizon (usually the four-year plan), the margin deriving from the chemical transformation process, the refining margin and long-term storage functional to the logistic-industrial activities; (ii) commercial exposure: concerns the exposures related to components underlying the contractual arrangements of industrial and commercial activities normally related to the time horizon of the four-year plan and budget, components not yet under contract but which will be with reasonable certainty and the relevant activities of risk management. Commercial exposures are characterized by a systematic risk management activity conducted based on risk/return assumptions by implementing one or more strategies and subjected to specific risk limits (VaR, revision strategy limits and stop loss). In particular, the commercial exposures include exposures subjected to asset-backed hedging activities, arising from the flexibility/optionality of assets; (iii) proprietary trading exposure: concerns exposures originating from risk positions assumed through financial/similar instruments with the intention of exploiting favorable price movements, spreads and/or volatility implemented autonomously and carried out regardless of the exposures of the commercial portfolio or physical and contractual assets. They are usually carried out in the short term, not necessarily aimed at the delivery and carried out by using financial or similar instruments in accordance with specific limits of authorized risk (VaR, stop loss).
Strategic risk is not subject to systematic activity of management/coverage that is eventually carried out only in case of specific market or business conditions. Because of the extraordinary nature, hedging activities related to strategic risks are delegated to the top management, previously authorized by the Board of Directors. The exposures related to strategic risk can be used in combination with other commercial exposures in order to exploit opportunities for natural compensation between the risks (natural hedge) and consequently reduce the use of financial instruments (by activating logics of internal market). With regard to exposures of a commercial nature, Eni's risk management target is to optimize the risk profile originating from the "core" activities while preserving the economic/financial results. Eni manages the commodity risk through the trading units of EGEM and ETB and the exposure to commodity prices through the Group's finance departments by using financial instruments traded on the organized markets MTF, OTF and financial instruments traded over the counter (swaps, forward, contracts for differences and options on commodities) with the underlying commodities being crude oil, gas, refined products, power or emission certificates. Such financial instruments are valued at fair value based on market prices provided from specialized sources or, absent market prices, based on estimates provided by brokers or suitable valuation techniques. VaR deriving from commodity exposure is measured daily based on a historical simulation technique, with a 95% confidence level and a one-day holding period.
Market risk deriving from liquidity management is identified as the possibility that changes in prices of financial instruments (bonds, money market instruments and mutual funds) affect the value of these instruments in case of sale or when they are valued at fair value in the financial statements. The setting up and maintenance of the liquidity reserve are mainly aimed to guarantee a proper financial flexibility. Liquidity should allow Eni to fund any extraordinary need (such as difficulty in access to credit, exogenous shock, macroeconomic environment, as well as merger and acquisitions) and must be dimensioned to provide a coverage of short-term debts and of medium and long-term finance debts due within a time horizon of 24 months. In order to manage the investment activity of the strategic liquidity, Eni defined a specific investment policy with aims and constraints in terms of financial activities and operational boundaries, as well as governance guidelines regulating management and control systems. In particular, strategic liquidity management is regulated in terms of VaR (measured based on a parametrical methodology with a one-day holding period and a 99% confidence level), stop loss and other operating limits in terms of concentration, issuing entity, business segment, country of emission, duration, ratings and type of investing instruments in portfolio, aimed to minimize market and liquidity risks. Financial leverage or short selling is not allowed.
The following tables show amounts in terms of VaR, recorded in the first half of 2021 (compared with 2020) relating to interest rate and exchange rate risks in the first section and commodity risk (aggregated by type of exposure). Regarding the management of strategic liquidity, the table reports the sensitivity to changes in interest rate.

Credit risk is the potential exposure of the Group to losses in case counterparties fail to perform or pay amounts due. Eni defined credit risk management policies consistent with the nature and characteristics of the counterparties of commercial and financial transactions regarding the centralized finance model.
The Company adopted a model to quantify and control the credit risk based on the evaluation of the expected loss which represents the probability of default and the capacity to recover credits in default that is estimated through the so-called Loss Given Default.
In the credit risk management and control model, credit exposures are distinguished by commercial nature, in relation to sales contracts on commodities related to Eni's businesses, and by financial nature, in relation to the financial instruments used by Eni, such as deposits, derivatives and securities.
Credit risk arising from commercial counterparties is managed by the business units and by the specialized corporate finance and dedicated administration departments and is operated based on formal procedures for the assessment of commercial counterparties, the monitoring of credit exposures, credit recovery activities and disputes. The credit worthiness of businesses and large clients is assessed through an internal rating model that combines different default factors deriving from economic variables, financial indicators, payment experiences and information from specialized primary info providers. The probability of default related to State Entities or their closely related counterparties (e.g. National Oil Company), essentially represented by the probability of late payments, is determined by using the country risk premiums adopted for the purposes of the determination of the WACCs for the impairment of non-financial assets. Furthermore, for retail positions without specific ratings, risk is determined by distinguishing customers in homogeneous risk clusters based on historical series of data relating to payments, periodically updated.
With regard to credit risk arising from financial counterparties deriving from current and strategic use of liquidity, derivative contracts and transactions with underlying financial assets valued at fair value, Eni has established internal policies providing exposure control and concentration through maximum credit risk limits corresponding to different classes of financial counterparties defined by the Company's Board of Directors and based on ratings provided for by primary credit rating agencies. Credit risk arising from financial counterparties is managed by the Eni's operating finance departments and Eni's designed subsidiaries specifically engaged in commodity derivatives transactions, consistently with the Group centralized finance model. Eligible financial counterparties are closely monitored by each counterpart and by group of belonging to check exposures against the limits assigned daily and the expected loss analysis and the concentration periodically.
Liquidity risk is the risk that suitable sources of funding for the Group may not be available, or the Group is unable to sell its assets in the marketplace in order to meet short-term finance requirements and to settle obligations. Such a situation would negatively affect Group results, as it would result in the Company incurring higher borrowing expenses to meet its obligations or under the worst of conditions the inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Eni's risk management targets include the maintaining of an adequate level of liquidity readily available to deal with external shocks (drastic changes in the scenario, restrictions on access to capital markets, etc.) or to ensure an adequate level of operational flexibility for the development programs of the Company. The strategic liquidity reserve is employed in short-term marketable financial assets, favoring investments with very low risk profile.
At present, the Group believes to have access to sufficient funding to meet the current foreseeable borrowing requirements due to available cash on hand financial assets and lines of credit and the access to a wide range of funding opportunities which can be activated at competitive costs through the credit system and capital markets.
Eni has in place a program for the issuance of Euro Medium Term Notes up to €20 billion, of which about €17.2 billion were drawn as of June 30, 2021 (€15 billion by Eni SpA).
The Group has credit ratings of A- outlook negative and A-2, respectively, for long and short-term debt, assigned by Standard & Poor's; Baa1 outlook stable and P-2, respectively, for long and short-term debt, assigned by Moody's; A- outlook stable and F1, respectively for long and short-term debt, assigned by Fitch. Eni's credit rating is linked, in addition to the Company's industrial fundamentals and trends in the trading environment, to the sovereign credit rating of Italy. Based on the methodologies used by the credit rating agencies, a downgrade of Italy's credit rating may trigger a potential knock-on effect on the credit rating of Italian issuers such as Eni. During the first half of 2021, the rating of Eni remained unchanged.
In May 2021, Eni placed two euro-denominated perpetual subordinated hybrid bond issues for an aggregate nominal amount of €2 billion, in addition to those already issued in October 2020 for an aggregate nominal amount of €3 billion. These are perpetual instruments with an early repayment option in favor of the issuer and classified under IFRS as equity instruments. The rating agencies assigned to the bonds the following ratings Baa3 / BBB / BBB (Moody's / S&P / Fitch) and an "equity credit" of 50%.

In addition to lease, financial, trade and other liabilities represented in the balance sheet, the Company is subject to non-cancellable contractual obligations or obligations, the cancellation of which requires the payment of a penalty. These obligations will require cash settlements in future reporting periods. These liabilities are valued based on the net cost for the company to fulfill the contract, which consists of the lowest amount between the costs for the fulfillment of the contractual obligation and the contractual compensation/penalty in the event of non-performance.
The Company's main contractual obligations at the balance sheet date comprise take-or-pay clauses contained in the Company's gas supply contracts or shipping arrangements, whereby the Company obligations consist of off-taking minimum quantities of product or service or, in case of failure, paying the corresponding cash amount that entitles the Company the right to collect the product or the service in future years. Future obligations in connection with these contracts were calculated by applying the forecasted prices of energy or services included in the four-year business plan approved by the Company's Board of Directors.

The offsetting of financial assets and liabilities related to: (i) receivables and payables pertaining to the Exploration & Production segment towards state entities for €530 million (€753 million at December 31, 2020) and trade receivables and trade payables pertaining to Eni Trading & Shipping Inc for €132 million (€2 million at December 31, 2020); (ii) other current and non-current assets and liabilities for financial derivatives of €3,626 million (€1,033 million at December 31, 2020).
Eni is part to a number of civil actions and administrative arbitral and other judicial proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Based on information available to date, and taking into account the existing risk provisions and that in some instances it is not possible to make a reliable estimate of contingency losses, Eni believes that the foregoing will likely not have a material adverse effect on the Group Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statement pursuant to IAS 34 is an update of the Annual Financial Report and, as such, presumes full knowledge of the latter. In the first half of 2021, there were no significant developments in the proceedings to which the Company is a party such as to imply an increase in the risk of unfavorable outcomes or in the potential losses associated with them. Accordingly, for a complete disclosure of the legal proceedings in which Eni is involved, please refer to note 27 – Guarantees, commitments and risks of the Annual Report 2020 where the most significant proceedings currently pending are disclosed. Unless otherwise indicated, these legal proceedings have not been provisioned because Eni believes a negative outcome to be unlikely or because the amount of the provision cannot be estimated reliably.
Information regarding a recent evolution of the proceedings before the Italian Judicial Authority concerning criminal allegations and administrative corporate responsibility in relation to the OPL 245 activity in Nigeria and a possible administrative proceeding relating to the sale of a 5% share in the OML 17 property in Nigeria is reported in note 9 - Property, plant and equipment.

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net profit (loss) of the period attributable to Eni's shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares issued and outstanding during the period, excluding treasury shares.
Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net profit (loss) of the period attributable to Eni's shareholders by the weighted average number of fully diluted shares including shares outstanding in the period and the number of potential shares that could be issued. As of June 30, 2021, the shares that could be potentially issued related the estimation of new share that will vest in connection with the longterm monetary incentive plan 2017-2019 and 2020-2022.
In determining basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share, the net profit (loss) for the period attributable to Eni is adjusted to take into account the remuneration of perpetual subordinated bonds, net of tax effect, calculated by using the amortized cost method.
Reconciliation of the weighted average number of shares used for the calculation for both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share was as follows:

Eni's segmental reporting reflects the Group's operating segments, whose results are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the CEO) to assess segment performance and to make decisions about resources to be allocated to each segment.
The organization is based on two General Departments:
In considering the Group's segment information for financial reporting purposes, the management evaluated that the components of the Company whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CEO) to make decisions about the allocation of resources and to assess performances continue being the single business units which are comprised in the two newly-established General Departments, rather than the two groups themselves. Therefore, in order to comply with the provisions of the international reporting standard that regulates the segment reporting (IFRS 8), the reportable segments of Eni are identified as follows:
Exploration & Production: research, development and production of oil, condensates and natural gas, forestry conservation (REDD+) and CO2 capture and storage projects.
Global Gas & LNG Portfolio (GGP): supply and sale of wholesale natural gas by pipeline, international transport and purchase and marketing of LNG. It includes gas trading activities finalized to hedging and stabilizing the trade margins, as well as optimising the gas asset portfolio.
Refining & Marketing and Chemical: supply, processing, distribution and marketing of fuels and chemicals. The results of the Chemical business line were aggregated with the Refining & Marketing performance in a single reportable segment, because these two operating segments have similar economic returns. It comprises the activities of trading oil and products with the aim to execute the transactions on the market in order to balance the supply and stabilize and cover the commercial margins.
Eni gas e luce, Power & Renewables: retail sales of gas, electricity and related services, production and wholesale sales of electricity from thermoelectric and renewable plants. It includes trading activities of CO2 emission certificates and forward sale of electricity with a view to hedging/optimizing the margins.
Corporate and Other activities: includes the main business support functions, in particular holding, central treasury, IT, human resources, real estate services, captive insurance activities, research and development, new technologies, business digitalization and the environmental activity developed by the subsidiary Eni Rewind.
Segment information presented to the CEO includes revenues, operating profit and directly attributable assets and liabilities.

To the Shareholders of Eni SpA
We have reviewed the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Eni SpA and its subsidiaries (Eni Group) as of 30 June 2021, comprising the consolidated balance sheet, the profit and loss account, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of changes in shareholders' equity, the statement of cash flows and related explanatory notes. The Directors of Eni SpA are responsible for the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 applicable to interim financial reporting (IAS 34) as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these condensed consolidated interim financial statements based on our review.
We conducted our work in accordance with the criteria for a review recommended by Consob in Resolution No. 10867 of 31 July 1997. A review of condensed consolidated interim financial statements consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than a full-scope audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia) and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Eni Group as of 30 June 2021 are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 applicable to interim financial reporting (IAS 34) as adopted by the European Union.
