Yesterday, Eni's Board of Directors approved group results for the third quarter and the nine months of 2016 (unaudited).
Claudio Descalzi, Eni's Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"This quarter has been characterized by the achievement of three fundamental goals towards strengthening our upstream portfolio: we have stabilized the production plateau at the Goliat oilfield, restarted operations from Kashagan and ramped up the Nooros field, the latter being testament to the success of our exploration strategy that supports a reduction in time-to-market. These achievements, in addition to the resumption of operations at the Val d'Agri profit center, will help to increase our cash generation from the fourth quarter onwards, as we successfully continue our cost reduction programme in lifting and development activities. Furthermore, we have stepped up our efforts to achieve a record time-to-market at the Zohr project, while in Mozambique the signing of the Coral gas sale contract represents a key milestone towards commencing the project construction activities. In the mid-downstream businesses, all of which were free cash flow positive despite of an unfavourable trading environment, we are continuing to progress our optimization plans, also starting the execution of our new plan of producing energy from renewable sources. Today we confirm the Group's strategy and objectives, including the previously outlined disposal plan".

In the third quarter of 2016, Eni reported an adjusted operating profit of €0.26 billion, down by €0.51 billion or 66% y-o-y. This decline reflected a weaker performance in the E&P segment (down by €0.28 billion or 30%) driven by the continuing downturn in commodity prices (the Brent benchmark was down by 9%; gas realizations down by 29%) and the production shutdown at the Val d'Agri profit centre, which was restarted by mid-August. These negative pressures were mitigated by production growth in other areas, efficiency gains and a reduced cost base.
The Refining & Marketing and Chemicals segment reported declining profitability (down by €0.16 billion or 48%) due to a less favourable refining and commodity environment y-o-y and competitive pressures, whose effects were partly counteracted by cost efficiencies and optimization gains. By contrast, the G&P segment cut operating losses by 20% compared to the third quarter of 2015, which was impacted by the make-up of gas volumes paid in advance to gas supplies.
In the quarter, the operating profit was affected by lower commodity prices and margins (down by €0.6 billion) and the Val d'Agri shutdown. These negatives were partly offset by production growth in other areas, cost efficiencies and a reduced cost base, mainly in the E&P segment, for €0.1 billion.
In the third quarter of 2016, the Group reported an adjusted net loss from continuing operations of €0.48 billion, compared to the adjusted net loss of €0.13 billion reported in the third quarter of 2015. This decline reflected a lower operating performance disclosed above, lower results from cost and equity-accounted investments (down by approximately €0.1 billion) and a lower than proportional reduction in the tax burden, driven by the Company's reduced ability to recognize deferred tax assets on the basis of a muted outlook for future taxable earnings.
In the nine months of 2016, adjusted operating profit of €1.03 billion reflected a €2.8 billion reduction y-o-y (down by 73%) due to the same headwinds described in the quarterly disclosure. Overall, the low oil price environment reduced the operating performance by €3.3 billion, while the Val d'Agri shutdown and negative non-recurring items in G&P weighted for €0.5 billion. By contrast, production growth in other areas, efficiency gains and a reduced cost base, mainly in the E&P segment, improved the performance by €1 billion. Adjusted net loss for the nine months of 2016 of €0.80 billion was down by €1.90 billion y-o-y.
As of September 30, 2016, net borrowings5 were €16.01 billion, €0.86 billion lower than December 31, 2015. The improvement was due to cash flow from operating activities (€4.43 billion), the closing of the Saipem transaction with net proceeds of €5.2 billion and other asset divestments for €0.6 billion, which comprised the available-for-sale shareholding in Snam due to the exercise of the conversion right from bondholders and marketing activities of fuels in Eastern Europe. These positive flows funded nine months' capital expenditure (€6.93 billion), the payment of the final dividend 2015 and the 2016 interim

dividend to Eni's shareholders (for a total amount of €2.85 billion) and other outflows relating to investment activities (down €0.2 billion).
Compared to June 30, 2016, net borrowings increased by €2.19 billion. Cash flow from operating activities in the third quarter was €1.33 billion and funded part of the interim dividend 2016 (€1.41 billion) and capital expenditure of the period (€2.05 billion).
As of September 30, 2016, the ratio of net borrowings to shareholders' equity including non-controlling interest – leverage6 – increased to 0.32, compared to 0.29 as of December 31, 2015. This change was due to an approximately €7.3 billion reduction in total equity, driven by the negative result of the period, the derecognition of the Saipem non-controlling interest and dividend distributions to Eni shareholders (€2.88 billion), whose effects were only partially offset by lower net borrowings.
6 Non-GAAP financial measures and other alternative performance indicators disclosed throughout this press release are accompanied by explanatory notes and tables in line with guidance provided by ESMA guidelines on alternative performance measures (ESMA/2015/1415), published on October 5, 2015. For further information see the section "Non-GAAP measures" of this press release. See pages 21 and subsequent.
Nooros Area" to 3 TCF of gas in place, of which about 2 TCF are in the Nooros field, while the remaining are in the new independent discovery of Baltim South West.
As part of Eni's "near-field" exploration strategy aiming to evolve the Company's business model towards a low-carbon future, in September 2016 Eni reached an agreement in Algeria for the construction of a 10 MW photovoltaic plant in the Bir Rebaa North (BRN) field, co-operated by Eni and Sonatrach. A similar agreement was signed with the Egyptian Authorities for the construction of a 50 MW photovoltaic plant in the Sinai area. This initiative will be implemented by Petrobel, a joint venture between Eni and the state-owned company Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC). These initiatives are the outcome of the integration between traditional business and energy from renewable sources. Power generation projects with zero emissions near Eni's plants and areas of operation are expected to fulfil, benefitting from logistic, contractual and commercial synergies with the company's traditional activities.
Management's forecasts for the Group's 2016 production and sale metrics are disclosed below:
- Natural gas sales: against a backdrop of continuing oversupply and strong competition, management expects gas sales to be in line with the reduction of the contractual minimum take of supply contracts. Management plans to retain its market share in the large customers and retail segments, also increasing the value of the existing customer base by developing innovative commercial initiatives, by integrating services to the supply of the commodity and by optimizing operations and commercial activities;
- Refined products sales in Italy and in the rest of Europe: in the context of a slight recovery in demand and strong competitive pressure, management expects to consolidate volumes and market share in the Italian retail market. This will be achieved by leveraging on competitive differentiation of the offer, the innovation of products and services as well as efficiency in logistics activities. In the rest of Europe, sales are expected to remain stable, excluding the effects of asset disposals in Eastern Europe;
- Chemical products scenario: management expects a moderately positive trading environment, with polyethylene margins on average higher than in 2015, despite a declining trend started in June 2016 due to raising competitive pressure. Cracker margins are expected to remain stable, in spite of a weaker trend reported in the second half of the year; styrenics margins are foreseen to decrease. The elastomer business is expected to remain weak, even if improving from 2015. Sales volumes are expected to remain substantially unchanged.
In 2016 management expects to carry out a number of initiatives intended to reduce capital spending in order to cope with the slump in crude oil prices. Those initiatives include re-phasing and rescheduling capital projects, selection of exploration plays and contract renegotiation for the supply of capital goods. Management forecasts an approximately 20% reduction in spending for the FY, on a constant exchange rate basis (excluding the Zohr project, the reduction would be 30%). In case the planned disposals are finalized subsequently to year-end, the Group's leverage is projected to exceed by a small amount the 0.30 threshold.
This press release has been prepared on a voluntary basis in line with Eni's policy to provide the market and investors with regular information about the Company's financial and operating performances and business prospects considering the disclosure policy followed by oil&gas peers who report results on quarterly basis.
Results and cash flow are presented for the third and the second quarter of 2016 and the nine months of 2016, for the third quarter and the nine months of 2015. Information on the Company's financial position relates to end of the periods as of September 30, 2015, June 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015. Accounts set forth herein have been prepared in accordance with the evaluation and recognition criteria set by the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the European Commission according to the procedure set forth in Article 6 of the European Regulation (CE) No. 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and European Council of July 19, 2002. These criteria are unchanged from the Interim Consolidated Financial Report as of June 30, 2016, which investors are urged to read.
Eni's Chemical business, managed by the wholly-owned subsidiary Versalis, has been reclassified as continuing operations, with retroactive effects as of January 1, 2016. In accordance with IFRS 5, Versalis has ceased to be classified as discontinued operations due to termination of the negotiations with USbased SK hedge fund, who had shown an interest in acquiring a majority stake in Versalis. Eni's Annual Report 2015 was prepared accounting this business as discontinued operations. Consequently, Eni's management reinstated the criteria of the continuing use to evaluate Versalis by aligning its book value to the recoverable amount, given by the higher of fair value less cost to sell and value-in-use. Conversely, under IFRS 5 Versalis was measured at the lower of its carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. This amendment in Versalis evaluation marginally affected the opening balance of Eni's consolidated net assets (an increase of €294 million) and was neutral on the Group's net financial position. For more information about the criteria of the continuing use to evaluate Versalis in Eni consolidated accounts 2016, see Eni Interim Consolidated Report as of June, 20 2016 (the section Basis of preparation in Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements).
The results of Versalis have been aggregated with those of R&M, in the reportable segment "R&M and Chemicals" because the two segments exhibit similar economic characteristics.
In relation to the Engineering & Construction segment classified as asset held for sale in the 2015 consolidated financial statements, on January 22, 2016 Eni closed the sale of a 12.503% stake in the entity to CDP Equity SpA, for a consideration of €463 million. Concurrently, a shareholder agreement between Eni and CDP Equity SpA entered into force, which established the joint control of the two parties over the target entity. Those transactions triggered loss of control of Eni over Saipem. Therefore, effective January 1, 2016, Eni has derecognized the assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses of the former subsidiary from the consolidated accounts. The retained interest of 30.55% in the former subsidiary has been recognized as an investment in an equityaccounted joint venture with an initial carrying amount aligned to the share price at the closing date of the transaction (€4.2 per share, equal to €564 million) recognizing a loss through profit of €441 million. This loss has been recognized in the Group consolidated accounts for the first half 2016 as part of gains and losses of the discontinued operations. Considering the share capital increase of Saipem, which was subscribed pro-quota by Eni at the same time as the aforementioned transactions (for an overall amount of €1,050 million), the initial carrying amount of the interest retained amounts to €1,614 million, which becomes the cost on initial recognition of the investment in Saipem for the subsequent application of equity accounting. By the end of February 2016, Saipem reimbursed intercompany loans owed to Eni (€5,818 million as of December 31, 2015) by using the proceeds from the share capital increase and new credit facilities from third-party financing institutions.
Effective January 1, 2016, management modified on voluntary basis, the criterion to recognize exploration expenses adopting the accounting of the successful-effort-method (SEM). The successful-effort method is largely adopted by oil&gas companies, to which Eni is increasingly comparable given the recent re-focalization of the Group activities on its core upstream business.
Under the SEM, geological and geophysical exploration costs are recognized as an expense as incurred. Costs directly associated with an exploration well are initially capitalized as an unproved tangible asset until the drilling of the well is complete and the results have been evaluated. If potentially commercial quantities of hydrocarbons are not found, the exploration well costs are written off. If hydrocarbons are found and, subject to further appraisal activity, are likely to be capable of commercial development, the costs continue to be carried as an unproved asset. If it is determined that development will not occur then the costs are expensed. Costs directly associated with appraisal activity undertaken to determine the size, characteristics and commercial potential of a reservoir following the initial discovery of hydrocarbons are initially capitalized as an unproved tangible asset. When proved reserves of oil and natural gas are determined and development is approved by management, the relevant expenditure is transferred to proved property.
In accordance to IAS 8 "Accounting policies, Changes in accounting estimates and Errors", the SEM application is a voluntary change in accounting policy explained by the alignment with an accounting standard largely adopted by oil&gas companies and as such it has been applied retrospectively.
The retrospective application of the SEM has required adjustment of the opening balance of the retained earnings and other comparative amounts as of January 1, 2014. Specifically, the opening balance of the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment was increased by €3,524 million, intangible assets by €860 million and the retained earnings by €3,001 million. Other adjustments related to deferred tax liabilities and other minor line items.
The table below sets forth the amounts of the comparative periods 2015 which have been restated following the adoption of the SEM and the accounting of Versalis as part of the continuing operations.

This press release, in particular the statements under the section "Outlook", contains certain forward-looking statements particularly those regarding capital expenditure, development and management of oil and gas resources, dividends, allocation of future cash flow from operations, gearing, future operating performance, targets of production and sales growth, new markets and the progress and timing of projects. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will or may occur in the future. Actual results may differ from those expressed in such statements, depending on a variety of factors, including the timing of bringing new fields on stream; management's ability in carrying out industrial plans and in succeeding in commercial transactions; future levels of industry product supply; demand and pricing; operational issues; general economic conditions; political stability and economic growth in relevant areas of the world; changes in laws and governmental regulations; development and use of new technology; changes in public expectations and other changes in business conditions; the actions of competitors and other factors discussed elsewhere in this document. Due to the seasonality in demand for natural gas and certain refined products and the changes in a number of external factors affecting Eni's operations, such as prices and margins of hydrocarbons and refined products, Eni's results from operations and changes in net borrowings for the third quarter of the year cannot be extrapolated on an annual basis.

7 As provided by IFRS, in case of "discontinued operations" gains and losses pertaining to activities in disposal phase and consequently to "continuing operations" are those deriving from transaction with third parties. Because of this, the above mentioned representations of Saipem (insofar as 2015 comparative periods are concerned) and continuing operations do not fully illustrate their results as standalone entities, mainly when relevant intercompany transactions occur, with regard to both the reporting period disclosed in this press release as well as in future reporting periods. See segment information at page 22 and subsequent for further information on Saipem (insofar as 2015 comparative periods are concerned) and continuing operations results with details about intercompany transaction.
In the third quarter of 2016 adjusted operating profit was €258 million, down by €508 million compared to the third quarter of 2015 (down by 66.3%). This trend was attributable to lower commodity prices and margins (down by €0.6 billion) and the Val d'Agri shutdown (until August 2016), partly offset by production growth in other areas, efficiency gains and a reduced cost base for €0.1 billion, mainly in the E&P segment.
Adjusted net loss pertaining to Eni's shareholders was €484 million, down by €357 million y-o-y due to a weaker operating performance, lower results from E&P equity-accounted entities and the Company's reduced ability to recognize deferred tax assets on the basis of a muted outlook for future taxable earnings.
Special charges of the operating profit amounted to €153 million in the quarter (€450 million in the nine months) and mainly related to: (i) environmental provisions (€64 million in the quarter and €165 million in the nine months); (ii) the effects of fair-valued commodity derivatives that lacked the formal criteria to be accounted as hedges under IFRS (gains of €33 million and €148 million in the third quarter and the nine months 2016, respectively); (iii) exchange rate differences and derivatives reclassified to adjusted operating profit (charges of €38 million and €56 million in the two reporting periods); (iv) risk provisions (€107 million in the quarter and €108 million in the nine months); (v) impairment losses to write down capital expenditure of the period at assets impaired in previous reporting periods in the R&M & Chemicals segment (€33 million; €181 million in the nine months including impairment losses on gas properties in the upstream segment driven by the impact of a lower price environment in Europe).
Non-operating special items of the quarter comprised:
In the nine months, non-operating special items include those reported in the quarter plus the write-off of certain deferred tax assets (€48 million) due to projections of lower future taxable earnings at Italian subsidiaries.
In the nine months of 2016, adjusted operating profit was €1,029 million, decreasing by €2,823 million, or 73.3%, from the nine months of 2015, due to a low commodity price environment with a negative effect of €3.3 billion while the Val d'Agri shutdown and negative non-recurring items in G&P weighted for €0.5 billion. These negatives were partly offset by production growth in other areas, efficiency gains and a reduced cost base for €1 billion, mainly in the E&P segment.
In the third quarter of 2016, Eni reported a net loss from continuing operations of €562 million. A prolonged downturn in commodity prices and margins negatively affected the Group's profitability and cash flow. These headwinds were partly offset by self-help measures, a reduced cost base and production growth, net of the Val d'Agri production shutdown.
The impact of the low commodity scenario and of a muted profitability outlook altered the Group fiscal position leading to the recording of income taxes in spite of pre-tax losses. This was mainly due to the concentration of taxable profits in the PSA contracts, which, although more resilient in a low-price environment, nonetheless bear higher-than-average rates of tax and to a reduced capacity to recognize deferred tax assets on losses incurred in the period.
Losses were also incurred in connection with equity and cost-accounted investments, among which a loss following the write-down of the equity-accounted investment in Saipem (€119 million in the quarter, €91 million in the nine months). The investee loss was driven by the recognition of asset impairment charges and other extraordinary expenses accounted for in Saipem's quarterly report as of September 30, 2016, announced on October 25, 2016. Net of these extraordinary items, the evaluation of Saipem's interest resulted in a negative €11 million in the quarter (a positive effect of €17 million in the nine months). The allocation of Saipem's value at initial recognition to the investee underlying cash generating units is still ongoing and is expected to be completed within the date of the approval of 2016 financial statements in line with the guidance of IAS 28. Therefore, Eni could incur further losses on its investment in Saipem upon completion of the price allocation. It is worth mentioning that the initial carrying amount of Saipem investment in Eni's books was aligned to the share price at the closing date of the transaction (January 22, 2016) when Eni lost control over Saipem. The trigger events were the sale of a 12.503% stake in the entity to CDP Equity SpA and the concurrent efficacy of a shareholder agreement between Eni and CDP Equity SpA, which established joint control of the two parties over the target entity.
In the third quarter of 2016, net loss decreased by €221 million from the third quarter of 2015 (when a loss of €783 million was recorded), due to the recognition of lower extraordinary charges mainly in the G&P segment.
The operating performance (€192 million) decreased by €56 million reflecting lower revenues of the E&P segment due to lower equity production realizations (the Brent benchmark was down by 9%), the Val d'Agri production shutdown as well as lower refining and petrochemical products margins, partially offset by lower operating loss in the G&P segment due to lower extraordinary charges.
In the nine months of 2016, net loss from continuing operations amounted to €1,391 million, worsening by €1,893 million from the nine months of 2015, due to the same drivers described in the disclosure of the quarter.
Group net loss pertaining to Eni's shareholders amounted to €1,804 million, which included a loss in the discontinued operations of €413 million attributable to Eni's shareholders taken to align the book value of Eni's residual interest in Saipem to its fair value (share price at the closing date of the transaction) at the date of loss of control (January 22, 2016) with a charge of €441 million.

The Summarized Group Balance Sheet was affected by the movement in the EUR/USD exchange rate, which determined a decrease in net capital employed of €1,093 million and a corresponding decrease in total equity. This was due to translation into euros of the financial statements of US-denominated subsidiaries reflecting a 2.5% appreciation of the euro against the US dollar (1 EUR= 1.116 USD at September 30, 2016 compared to 1.089 at December 31, 2015).
Fixed assets (€77,089 million) increased by €639 million from December 31, 2015. The item "Property, plant and equipment" slightly decreased mainly due to the appreciation of the euro and DD&A and write-offs (€5,913 million), partly offset by capital expenditure for the period (€6,930 million). Finally the line item "Equity-accounted investments and other investments" increased by €929 million due to the recognition as an equity-accounted investment of the stake of 30.55% retained in Saipem following loss of control over the former subsidiary and the pro-quota amount cashed out to subscribe Saipem share capital increase for an overall amount of €1,614 million.
Net working capital was in negative territory at minus €9,930 million, barely unchanged. Reduced trade receivables, mainly in the G&P segment, were offset by utilizations of risk provisions.
Discontinued operations, assets held for sale including related liabilities (€11 million) decreased by €9,037 million due to the closing of the Saipem transaction and the divestment of fuel distribution activities disposal in Eastern Europe.
Shareholders' equity including non-controlling interest was €50,144 million, down by €7,265 million from December 31, 2015. This was due to net loss in comprehensive income (€2,483 million) given by net loss of €1,798 million and negative foreign currency translation differences (€1,093
8 The summarized Group balance sheet aggregates the amount of assets and liabilities derived from the statutory balance sheet in accordance with functional criteria, which consider the enterprise conventionally divided into the three fundamental areas focusing on resource investments, operations and financing. Management believes that this summarized Group balance sheet is useful information in assisting investors to assess Eni's capital structure and to analyze its sources of funds and investments in fixed assets and working capital. Management uses the summarized Group balance sheet to calculate key ratios such as the proportion of net borrowings to shareholders' equity (leverage) intended to evaluate whether Eni's financing structure is sound and well-balanced.
million). Also affecting the total equity was the de-recognition of Saipem non-controlling interest (€1,872 million) and dividend distribution and other changes of €2,910 million (2015 balance and 2016 interim dividends paid to Eni's shareholders amounting to €2,880 million and dividends to noncontrolling interests). These effects were partially offset by a positive change in the cash flow hedge reserve (€492 million).

In the nine months of 2016, net cash provided by operating activities amounted to €4,425 million. Proceeds from disposals were €1,021 million and mainly related to the 12.503% interest in Saipem (€463 million), an interest in Snam due to exercise of the conversion right by bondholders (€332 million) as well as fuel distribution activities in Eastern Europe. These inflows funded part of the financial requirements for capital expenditure for the period (€6,930 million), the payment of Eni's 2015 balance
9 Eni's summarized Group cash flow statement derives from the statutory statement of cash flows. It enables investors to understand 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. The measure enabling such a link is represented by the free cash flow which 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. The free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure of financial performance.
dividend and the 2016 interim dividend (€2,848 million), the amount cashed out to subscribe the share capital increase of Saipem (€1,069 million) and other cash outflows relating to investing activities (€0.2 billion). Capital expenditure from continuing operations decreased by 17%, including Eni's capital contributions to joint-ventures, in line with an expected reduction in spending of approximately 20% vs 2015 at constant exchange rates.
When considering the cash flow associated to the reimbursement of intercompany financing receivables amounting to €5,818 million, as part of the closing of the Saipem deal, the Group's net borrowings decreased by €863 million.
From January 1, 2016, Eni's captive insurance subsidiary (Eni Insurance) is required to meet certain capital and solvency ratios as minimum requirements to continue performing the insurance activity based on the provisions of EU Solvency II Directive (the so-called Minimum Capital Requirement - MCR and Solvency Capital Requirement - SCR). Therefore, it is no longer necessary to commit the financial assets of the insurance company to funding the loss provisions. Accordingly, those assets, which mainly comprise available-for-sale securities and bank deposits, have ceased to be classified as held for operating purposes and have been netted against finance debt in determining the Group net borrowing at September 30, 2016 with a positive impact of €600 million.
Article No. 36 of Italian regulatory exchanges (Consob Resolution No. 16191/2007 and subsequent amendments). Continuing listing standards about issuers that control subsidiaries incorporated or regulated in accordance with laws of extra-EU Countries.
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, as of September 30, 2016, Eni's subsidiaries - Eni Congo SA, Eni Norge AS, Eni Petroleum Co Inc, Nigerian Agip Oil Co Ltd, Nigerian Agip Exploration Ltd, Eni Finance USA Inc, Eni Trading & Shipping Inc, Eni Canada Holding Ltd, Eni Turkmenistan Ltd, Eni Ghana Exploration and Production Ltd and Eni Suisse SA – fall within the scope of the new continuing listing standards. Eni has already adopted adequate procedures to ensure full compliance with the new regulations.

In the third quarter of 2016, the Exploration & Production segment reported an adjusted operating profit of €644 million, down by €275 million or 30% compared to the third quarter of 2015. This result was driven by lower oil and gas realizations in dollar terms (down by 7.2% and 29.4%, respectively), reflecting trends in the marker Brent (down by 8.8%), weak gas prices in Europe, as well as the production shutdown at the Val d'Agri profit center. These effects were only partially offset by higher production in other areas, cost efficiencies (lower opex) and decreasing DD&A following the reduced book value of oil&gas properties due to assets impairment charges recorded as of December 31, 2015.
Adjusted operating profit for the third quarter of 2016 excluded a positive adjustment of €85 million (€247 million in the nine months of 2016). This was mainly due to risk provisions (€106 million in the two reporting periods), special gains of €27 million (€2 million in the nine months) referred to exchange differences and derivatives related to exchange rate exposure in commodity pricing formulas and exposure on trade payables that are reclassified to adjusted operating profit, as well as losses on fairvalued derivatives (€4 million and €19 million in the two reporting periods, respectively) embedded in the pricing formulas of long-term gas supply agreements. In the nine months of 2016, impairment losses (€105 million) referred to gas properties, driven by the impact of a lower price environment in Europe.
In the third quarter of 2016, the Exploration & Production segment reported an adjusted net loss of €13 million, worsening by €105 million compared to €92 million adjusted net profit reported in the same period of the previous year. This was due to lower operating performance, lower results reported by the equity accounted joint ventures and a lower than proportional reduction in the tax expense, driven by a deteriorating price scenario, which resulted in the concentration of taxable profit in PSA contracts, which, although more resilient in a low-price environment, bear higher-than average rates of tax and a reduced capacity to recognize deferred tax assets on losses incurred in the quarter.
In the nine months of 2016, adjusted operating profit amounted to €1,094 million, declining by €2,490 million, or 69.5%, from the same period of the previous year, due to the same drivers disclosed in the quarterly results.
Adjusted net loss of €351 million was due to worsening operating performance and increasing tax rate as disclosed in the quarterly results.
In the nine months of 2016, taxes paid represented approximately 34% of the cash flow from operating activities of the E&P segment before changes in working capital and income taxes paid.
In the third quarter of 2016, Eni's hydrocarbon production10 was 1.710 million boe/d (1.726 million boe/d in the nine months of 2016), 0.4% higher compared to the third quarter of 2015 (up by 0.5% compared to the nine months of 2015). Excluding the production shutdown in the Val d'Agri district (down by 32 kboe/d in the quarter and in the nine months) and the price effects reported in Production Sharing Agreements (7 kboe/d in the quarter and 20 kboe/d in the nine months) production increased by 2.2% from the third quarter of 2015 (up by 1.6% in the nine months). New fields' start-ups and production ramp-ups at fields started up in 2015 (76 kboe/d) mainly in Venezuela, Norway and Angola, as well as increased production in Iraq were partly offset by planned facilities downtime, mainly in the United Kingdom, and the mature fields declines. The share of oil and natural gas produced outside Italy was 93%, in the quarter and in the nine months (90% in both the two 2015 reporting periods).
Liquids production (864 kbbl/d) slightly decreased by 0.5% from the third quarter of 2015. Start-ups and production ramp-ups in Norway and Angola as well as higher production in Iraq were offset by the production shutdown in the Val d'Agri district and planned facilities downtime.
Natural gas production in the third quarter (4,616 mmcf/d) increased from the 2015 corresponding period (up by 0.8%). Increased production in Venezuela was partly offset by planned facilities downtime and mature fields decline.
In the nine months of 2016, liquids production (869 kbbl/d) decreased by 8 kbbl/d or 0.9% from the nine months of 2015.
Natural gas production (4,680 mmcf/d) increased by 62 mmcf/d or 1.5% from the corresponding period a year ago.
10 From January 1, 2016, as part of a regular reviewing procedure, Eni has updated the conversion rate of gas to 5,458 cubic feet of gas equals 1 barrel of oil (it was 5,492 cubic feet of gas per barrel in previous reporting periods). This update reflected changes in Eni's gas properties that took place in the last three years and was assessed by collecting data on the heating power of gas in all Eni's gas fields currently on stream. The effect of this update on production expressed in boe for the third quarter and the nine months of 2016 was 5 kboe/d. Other per-boe indicators were only marginally affected by the update (e.g. realization prices, costs per boe) and negligible was the impact on depletion charges. Other oil companies may use different conversion rates.

In the third quarter of 2016, the Gas & Power segment reported an adjusted operating loss of €374 million, €95 million less compared to the third quarter of 2015. This improving performance reflected the one-time charge recorded in the third quarter 2015 relating the reversal of gas prepaid in previous years with a book value higher than the current average supply cost of the Eni gas in that reporting period. This change was partly offset by lower margins on LNG sales recorded in 2016.
Adjusted operating profit for the quarter excluded a profit on stock of €12 million in the quarter (a loss of €146 million in the nine months) and net special gains of €37 million in the quarter (€68 million in the nine months) which comprised the effects of the fair-value evaluation of certain commodity derivatives lacking the formal criteria to be accounted as hedges under IFRS (gains of €34 million and €178 million in the two reporting periods, respectively) net of other extraordinary charges of €8 million in the quarter (€161 million in the nine months). Adjusted operating result of the period include the negative balance of €12 million (€52 million in the nine months) of exchange rate differences and derivatives.
In the quarter, adjusted net loss amounted to €302 million, €52 million less compared to the same period of the previous year.
In the nine months of 2016, the Gas & Power segment reported an adjusted operating loss of €318 million, down by €174 million from the corresponding period of 2015.This reflected lower margins on LNG sales and lower one-off benefits reported in the nine months of 2015, partly offset by logistics costs optimizations and better performance in trading activities. The retail segment reported lower results due to unusual winter weather conditions.
In the nine months, the Gas & Power segment reported an adjusted net loss of €299 million due to the reduction of operating performance.
In the third quarter of 2016, Eni's natural gas sales were 20.01 bcm, down by 0.48 bcm, or 2.3% compared to the third quarter of 2015. Sales in Italy increased by 12% to 8.76 bcm driven by higher spot sales to hub (PSV). Sales in the European markets amounted to 7.97 bcm, down by 10.2%, mainly reflecting lower spot sales in Germany/Austria and Benelux, increasing competitive pressure as well as lower volumes in Turkey driven by lower sales to Botas. In the quarter, sales to the Extra European markets decreased by 22.9% due to lower LNG volumes marketed in the Far East, due to the lack of contracts renewal.
Sales of natural gas in the nine months of 2016, amounted to 65.26 bcm (included Eni's own consumption, Eni's share of sales made by equity-accounted entities and Exploration & Production sales in Europe and in the Gulf of Mexico) reporting a decrease of 3.24 bcm or 4.7% from the nine months of 2015. Sales in Italy decreased to 28.18 bcm, down by 2.6% from the nine months of 2015, due to lower volumes sold, particoularly in residential market due to unfavourable weather conditions. These effects were partially offset by higher spot volumes.
Sales in the European markets amounted to 27.79 bcm, down by 4.5% driven by the reduction of sales in Turkey, Benelux, France and the United Kingdom, partially offset by higher volumes sold in Germany. Sales to importers in Italy decreased by 0.22 bcm, or 6.4%.
Electricity sales were 9.17 TWh in the third quarter of 2016, up by 1.9%, from the corresponding period of 2015 (27.26 TWh, up by 5.6% in the nine months of 2016) mainly due to higher volumes traded on the wholesalers segment.

In the third quarter of 2016, the Refining & Marketing and Chemicals segment reported an adjusted operating profit of €175 million, down by €160 million y-o-y (or down by 48%).
The Refining & Marketing segment reported an adjusted operating profit of €100 million declining by €63 million, or 39%, reflecting the negative impact of an unfavourable refining margin scenario (down by 67% Eni's standard refining margin - SERM – worsening to 3.3 \$/bl in the third quarter of 2016 from 10 \$/bl in the same quarter of 2015) and the lower availability of domestic crude oil from the Val d'Agri field which was detrimental to the refining system. These negatives were partly offset by improved plant efficiency and better price differentials between heavy vs. light crudes. The refining breakeven margin improved to 4.2\$/bl yearly average from the 2016 target of 4.5 \$/bl. Results of the Marketing activity declined mainly due to lower margins and increasing competitive pressure in the wholesale segment.
The Chemical business reported an adjusted operating profit of €75 million, declining by €97 million y-oy, due to the unfavourable trading environment with worsening margins of cracker, polyethylene and styrene.
Sales volumes declined by approximately 18% due to weak demand, competitive pressure and lower products availability following unplanned shutdowns.
Special charges excluded from adjusted operating profit of the third quarter of 2016 amounted to a net positive of €56 million (€178 million in the nine months of 2016).
This included impairment losses to write down capital expenditure of the period at assets impaired in previous reporting periods (€30 million and €64 million in the third quarter and the nine months, respectively), environmental charges (€19 million and €86 million in the two reporting periods, respectively) as well as fair-value evaluation of certain commodity derivatives (gains of €3 million in the quarter and charges of €11 million in the nine months) lacking the formal criteria to be accounted as hedges under IFRS.
Adjusted net profit of the third quarter of 2016 declined by €130 million to €121 million y-o-y due to the worsening operating performance.
In the nine months of 2016, the Refining & Marketing and Chemicals segment reported an adjusted operating profit of €508 million, declining by €53 million from the same period of the previous year. Adjusted net profit of €369 million reduced by €57 million for the same drivers disclosed in the quarterly disclosure.
In the third quarter of 2016, the Standard Eni Refining Margin (SERM) has more than halved its value to 3.3 \$/bl, down by 67% compared to 10 \$/bl reported in the same quarter of 2015, (in the nine months of 2016 the value has been 4\$/bl down by 55%, compared to 8.9 \$/bl reported in the nine months of 2015), reflecting weaker spreads of gasoil and fuel.
In this context, Eni refining throughputs amounted to 6.46 mmtonnes, slightly lower y-o-y (down by 0.8% due to unavailability of domestic crude oil of the Val d'Agri field at the Taranto plant. These negatives were offset by higher throughputs at the Sannazzaro and Milazzo refineries. Refining throughputs of the nine months were 18.55 mmtonnes, declining by 7.3%. On a homogeneous basis, when excluding the impact of the disposal of CRC refinery in the Czech Republic finalized on April 30, 2015, refining throughputs of the nine months were 18.55 mmtonnes, down by 3.8.
Volumes of biofuels produced from vegetable oil at the Venice Green Refinery increased by 7% compared to the nine months of 2015.
Retail sales in Italy of 1.59 mmtonnes in the quarter (4.46 mmtonnes in the nine months) were barely unchanged from both the comparative periods, in a market scenario characterized by a reversal in the downward trend recorded for many years and increased competitive pressures. Eni's retail market share was 24.8% (24.6% in the third quarter of 2015). The increase in sales of Eni owned stations and dealer owned stations were offset by the decreased in sales in highway stations.
Wholesale sales in Italy amounted to 2.23 mmtonnes in the third quarter of 2016, up by 3.2% compared to the corresponding period of 2015 (6.08 mmtonnes in the nine months of 2016, up by 3.9% y-o-y). Higher volumes of jet fuels and minor products were almost offset by lower sales of gasoil and bunker.
Retail and wholesale sales in the rest of Europe decreased in both the reporting periods compared to the same periods of the previous year mainly due to the assets disposal in the Czech Republic and Slovakia finalized in July 2015 as well as in Slovenia and Hungary in 2016. These negatives were partially offset by higher volumes traded in France in both the business segments.
Petrochemical production of 1.41 mmtonnes decreased by 7.1% in the third quarter of 2016 reflecting lower demand in the styrene segment and higher unplanned shutdowns. In the nine months of 2016, production increased by 1.1% to 4.31 mmtonnes.

(a) Alternative preformance measures. For a detailed explanation and reconciliation of adjusted results which exclude as usual the items "profit/loss on stock" and extraordinary gains and losses (special items), while they reinstate the effects relating the elimination of gains and losses on intercompany transactions with discontinued operations see the following pages.
Management evaluates underlying business performance on the basis of non-GAAP financial measures under IFRS ("Alternative performance measures"), such as adjusted operating profit and adjusted net profit, which are arrived at by excluding inventory holding gains or losses, special items and, in determining the business segments' adjusted results, finance charges on finance debt and interest income. The adjusted operating profit of each business segment reports gains and losses on derivative financial instruments entered into to manage exposure to movements in foreign currency exchange rates which affect industrial margins and translation of commercial payables and receivables. Accordingly, also currency translation effects recorded through profit and loss are reported within business segments' adjusted operating profit. The taxation effect of the items excluded from adjusted operating or net profit is determined based on the specific rate of taxes applicable to each of them.
Management includes them in order to facilitate a comparison of base business performance across periods, and to allow financial analysts to evaluate Eni's trading performance on the basis of their forecasting models. Non-GAAP financial measures should be read together with information determined by applying IFRS and do not stand in for them. Other companies may adopt different methodologies to determine Non-GAAP measures.
Follows the description of the main alternative performance measures adopted by Eni. The measures reported below refer to the actual performance:
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; or (iii) exchange rate differences and derivatives relating to industrial activities and commercial payables and receivables, particularly exchange rate derivatives to manage commodity pricing formulas which are quoted in a currency other than the functional currency. Those items are reclassified in operating profit with a corresponding adjustment to net finance charges, notwithstanding the handling of foreign currency exchange risks is made centrally by netting off naturally-occurring opposite positions and then dealing with any residual risk exposure in the exchange rate market.
As provided for in Decision No. 15519 of July 27, 2006 of the Italian market regulator (CONSOB), non recurring material income or charges are to be clearly reported in the management's discussion and financial tables. Also, special items allow to allocate to future reporting periods gains and losses on re-measurement at fair value of certain non hedging commodity derivatives and exchange rate derivatives relating to commercial exposures, lacking the criteria to be designed as hedges, including the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges and certain derivative financial instruments embedded in the pricing formula of long-term gas supply agreements of the Exploration & Production segment.
Considering the relevant impact of the discontinued operations on Eni's 2015 financial statements, management determines adjusted performance measures on a standalone basis which exclude as usual the items "profit/loss on stock" and extraordinary gains and losses (special items), while they reinstate the effects relating to the elimination of gains and losses on intercompany transactions with the Engineering & Construction segment which, as of December 31, 2015, was in the disposal phase, represented as discontinued operations under the IFRS5. These measures obtain a representation of the performance of the continuing operations anticipating the effect of the derecognition of the discontinued operations. Namely: adjusted operating profit, adjusted net profit and cash flow from operating activities on a standalone basis.
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.
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.

Leverage is a measure used by management to assess the Company's level of indebtedness. It is calculated as a ratio of net borrowings - which is calculated by excluding cash and cash equivalents and certain very liquid assets from finance debt to shareholders' equity, including non-controlling interest. Management periodically reviews leverage in order to assess the soundness and efficiency of the Group balance sheet in terms of optimal mix between net borrowings and net equity, and to carry out benchmark analysis with industry standards.
