Eni's Board of Directors yesterday approved the consolidated results for the first quarter of 2020 (not subject to audit). Having examined the results, Eni CEO Claudio Descalzi said:
"The period since March has been the most complex period the global economy has seen for more than 70 years. For the energy industry, and in particular for Oil&Gas, the complexity is even greater given the overlap of the effects of the pandemic with the collapse in oil prices. Eni is tackling this period by relying on a safe operating organisation for its employees, contractors, and the populations of its host countries. Furthermore, Eni's people have shown an incredible capacity and willingness to adapt to the difficult circumstances at the moment, allowing the Group to operate with full continuity. I would like to thank them for this. The business portfolio is more resilient than ever before, while the capital structure is very solid thanks to actions taken in recent years. The Upstream portfolio, in particular, has a competitive break-even point and is flexible, allowing for activities and financial commitments to be adjusted as the situation develops. The Mid-Downstream portfolio is reacting well to the consumer crisis, recording EBIT that was higher than the same period in 2019. Overall, EBIT was above market forecasts, while cash flow from operations before working capital financed investments of €1.9 billion. The balance sheet is robust and above all shows €16 billion of cash on hand, which will allow the Group to manage the drop in business due to prices and the pandemic. Like everyone, we expect a complicated 2020, but thanks to our strengths we are sure we can swiftly resume our journey towards an even more profitable and sustainable future, as set out in our latest strategic plan." conseguiti da Eni sono
Acquired a 40% interest in Finproject, a company engaged in the segment of high-performance formulated polymer applications, in an effort to strengthen the product mix by increasing the exposure to products that are more resilient to the volatility of the chemical scenario. Closing is subject to customer antitrust review.
Signed an agreement with an Italian engineering company for developing a pyrolysis-based technology to transform mixed plastic waste, that cannot be mechanically recycled, into re-usable raw material.
Adjusted net profit at €59 million.
Net result: net loss of €2.93 billion (net profit of €1.1 billion in the first quarter of 2019) mainly due to the alignment of the book value of inventories to market prices current at the end of the quarter. Special charges also included impairment losses from oil&gas assets and negative fair-valued derivatives, which couldn't be accounted as hedges, due to the scenario effects.
1 They comprise a reduction in global gas demand, lower offtakes at LNG supply contracts in Asia, lower consumption of fuels and chemical products, operational impacts on hydrocarbon production, higher allowances for doubtful accounts due to an expected deterioration in the counterparty risk.
Eni assumes a gradual recovery in global consumption of oil, natural gas and power in the second half of the year, particularly in Eni's reference markets.
Based on this macroeconomic scenario, Eni reduced the Company's outlook for Brent crude oil prices, down to 45 \$/bbl and 55 \$/bbl respectively in 2020 and 2021. Spot gas prices at the Italian hub have been reduced by 15% in 2020 and by 30% in 2021, while refining margin is expected to decline by 18% in 2020. Considering a highly volatile scenario and ongoing disruptions in the global economy, management is going to disclose a sensitivity analysis of Eni's 2020 results to changes in the scenario (see below).
Eni has promptly defined its responses to the current crisis scenario by reviewing the industrial plan for the year 2020 and 2021 in order to preserve the robustness of its balance sheet. The review of the industrial plan foresees:

| 1,775 | Capital expenditure | 1,258 | 1,986 | (37) |
In the first quarter of 2020, the Exploration & Production segment reported an adjusted operating profit of €1,037 million, 55% lower than the first quarter 2019, driven by a negative €1.1 billion of scenario effect and by lower production volumes (-€0.17 billion). The scenario loss was attributable to lower liquids realizations driven by a 20% decline in the price of the Brent crude oil benchmark for the quarter and lower gas prices at the Italian spot market PSV (-45%), which are the main benchmark to which our equity volumes are indexed, only partially offset by the appreciation of the USD vs. EUR (+3%), as well as a loss incurred in reselling the gas entitlements of a Libyan partner, which were marketed in Europe. This reselling price is excluded from the calculation of Eni's average realized gas prices disclosed in the table on page 5, because the realized prices are calculated only with reference to equity production. Scenario effects also included higher amortization charges driven by an increased asset retirement cost capitalized as part of property, plant and equipment due to lower discount rates y-o-y.
On a constant scenario basis, the reduction was driven by unfavorable volume/mix effects and bigger write-off expenses related to unsuccessful exploration wells, partly offset by opex cuts.
Operating profit included the result relating to certain hydrocarbon volumes of 2 kboe/d mainly gas, comprised in the production for the period, whereby the price was paid by the buyer without lifting the underlying volume due to the take-or-pay clause in a long-term supply agreement. Management has ascertained that it is highly likely that the buyer will not redeem its contractual right to lift the pre-paid volumes in future reporting periods within the contractual terms.
Adjusted net profit of €212 million decreased by 80% due to a lower operating profit and losses incurred at joint ventures and associates of €59 million, which included Eni's share of result at the JV Vår Energi (a loss of €37 million), while the equity-accounted entity Angola Lng reported lower earnings (-€15 million) driven by a significantly deteriorated trading environment for LNG.
The result was also significantly and negatively affected by an increased adjusted tax rate (up by 23 percentage points) due to: (i) a higher share of taxable profit reported in Countries with higher taxation (for example the UAE and Algeria), (ii) a higher relative weight on pre-tax profit of nondeductible expenses and of a lower deductibility of expenses at the Company's PSAs due to depressed commodity prices; and (iii) the fact that in 2020 the Company has continued incurring losses at the reselling of gas entitlements of a Libyan partner resulting in a distortion to the tax rate.

In the first quarter of 2020, natural gas sales of 16.75 bcm decreased by 21% from the same period of the previous year. Sale in Italy of 8.97 bcm were 17% lower than the corresponding quarter a year ago mainly due to weaker seasonal sales and the impact of an ongoing economic downturn following the containment measures in Italy and Europe as a result of the spread of COVID-19. Sales in the European markets amounted to 5.87 bcm, a decrease of 16% from the comparative period as result of lower volumes marketed in Germany and Turkey.
Power sales were 9.89 TWh, reporting a small decrease y-o-y (down by 2%) due to an economic slowdown in connection with lockdown measure adopted to contain the COVID-19.

(a) For further information see table "Breakdown of special items".
(b) Unrealized intragroup profit elimination mainly pertained to intra‐group sales of commodities and services recorded in the assets of the purchasing business segment as of the end of the period.
The breakdown of special items of operating profit by segment (net charges of €825 million) is the following:
2 They comprise a reduction in global gas demand, lower offtakes at LNG supply contracts in Asia, lower consumption of fuels and chemical products, operational impacts on hydrocarbon production, higher allowances for doubtful accounts due to an expected deterioration in the counterparty risk.
to adjusted operating profit of the positive balance of €46 million related to derivative financial instruments used to manage margin exposure to foreign currency exchange rate movements and exchange translation differences of commercial payables and receivables;
R&M and Chemicals: net charges of €235 million including asset impairments driven by a deteriorated refining scenario and write-downs of capital expenditure relating to certain Cash Generating Units in the R&M business that were impaired in previous reporting periods and continued to lack any profitability prospects (overall €139 million), environmental provisions (€15 million) as well as the accounting effect of certain fair-valued commodity derivatives lacking the formal criteria to be classified as hedges or to be eligible for the own use exemption (€85 million).
Special items of investments related to: (i) charges of €565 million relating to the Vår Energi JV, which incurred oil&gas asset impairments reflecting the revision of the Brent price scenario for the 2020-2021 years as well as accrued currency translation differences at finance debt denominated in a currency other than the reporting currency for which the reimbursement cash outflows are expected to be matched by highly probable cash inflows, from the sale of production volumes, in the same currency as the finance debt as part of a natural hedge relationship; (ii) a loss of €139 million relating to the alignment of raw material and products inventories to their net realizable values at period end at ADNOC Refining.
In the first quarter of 2020, the Group reported a net loss attributable to Eni's shareholders of €2,929 million compared to a net profit of €1,092 million reported in the same period of the previous year due to an operating loss of approximately €1.1 billion.
In addition to the drivers described in the review of the Company's business segments, the quarterly performance was negatively and significantly affected by the impact of falling oil prices on inventories evaluation, which were aligned to their net realizable values at period end (resulting in an operating charge of €1.6 billion), impairment losses taken at oil&gas assets and refineries driven by an unfavorable scenario (€0.34 billion) and negative fair-valued derivatives that lacked the formal criteria to be accounted as hedges.
The Group incurred losses of about €800 million at joint ventures and other industrial investments which were negatively affected by the same market and industrial trends as operated activities, as well as the impact of USD appreciation against all major currencies leading to the incurrence of exchange rate expenses, in addition to impairment losses of tangible assets and inventories.
Finance expenses increased by approximately €172 million due to lower gains from mark-to-market of securities held for trading.
Reported tax rate was affected by the same negative trends discussed in the section "Adjusted results".

Net cash provided by operating activities was €975 million in the first quarter of 2020, decreasing by over 50% from the same period of the previous year due to the worsening scenario.
Changes in working capital were €685 million and reflected a lower amount of trade receivables due in subsequent reporting periods divested to financing institutions compared to the fourth quarter 2019 (down by €0.47 billion).
Net cash before changes in working capital at replacement cost was €1,953 million declining by 43% y-o-y due to scenario effects of -€1.5 billion, including a non-cash change in fair-valued derivatives and the negative impacts associated with COVID-19 of €0.15 billion, partly offset by a positive performance of €0.2 billion.
Group cash tax rate was 30% (29% in the first quarter 2019).
Cash outflows for capital expenditure and investments were €1,812 million, including the acquisition of the Evolvere company and an interest in Falck Renewables.
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 (€0.3 billion), net capital expenditures amounted to €1.9 billion.

Leverage4 – the ratio of the borrowings to total equity - was 0.41 at March 31, 2020, due to the increase in net borrowings in the quarter. The impact of the lease liability pertaining to joint operators in Eni-led upstream unincorporated joint ventures weighted on leverage for approximately 4 points. Excluding the impact of IFRS 16 altogether, leverage would be 0.28.

These criteria are unchanged from the 2019 Annual Report on Form 20‐F filed with the US SEC on April 2, 2020, which investors are urged to read.
Effective January 1, 2020 with a view to improving integration across businesses in the oil supply chain aiming at minimizing the commodity risk exposure and optimizing the value of equity production and internal processing needs, the Company has reorganized the activity of trading oil, the scope of which includes enhancement and optimization of the oil commodity portfolio, supplies of crudes and products for our refining system and hedging any internal imbalances through purchases/sales at the open market. As result of this, organizational and profit responsibilities relating trading oil activities have been transferred to the Refining & Marketing business, whereas previously they were part of the Gas & Power segment. As provided by international reporting standards regulating the topic of segmental information, in case of major reorganization of the reporting segments the comparative periods are to be restated to allow comparability. Below it is provided the restated segmental information of the operating segments involved by the above described reorganization, both reported and adjusted.

Eni's Chief Financial Officer, Massimo Mondazzi, in his position as manager responsible for the preparation of the Company's financial reports, certifies that data and information disclosed in this press release correspond to the Company's evidence and accounting books and records, pursuant to rule 154‐bis paragraph 2 of Legislative Decree No. 58/1998.

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, share repurchases, allocation of future cash flow from operations, future operating performance, gearing, 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 quarter of the year cannot be extrapolated on an annual basis.

This press release for the first quarter of 2020 (unaudited) is also available on Eni's website eni.com.
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 profit and adjusted net profit are determined by excluding inventory holding gains or losses, special items and, in determining the business segments' adjusted results, finance charges on finance debt and interest income. The adjusted operating profit of each business segment reports gains and losses on derivative financial instruments entered into to manage exposure to movements in foreign currency exchange rates, which impact industrial margins and translation of commercial payables and receivables. Accordingly, also currency translation effects recorded through profit and loss are reported within business segments' adjusted operating profit. The taxation effect of the items excluded from adjusted operating or net profit is determined based on the specific rate of taxes applicable to each of them.
Finance charges or income related to net borrowings excluded from the adjusted net profit of business segments are comprised of interest charges on finance debt and interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents not related to operations. Therefore, the adjusted net profit of business segments includes finance charges or income deriving from certain segment operated assets, i.e., interest income on certain receivable financing and securities related to operations and finance charge pertaining to the accretion of certain provisions recorded on a discounted basis (as in the case of the asset retirement obligations in the Exploration & Production segment).
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. 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 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.
