Eni: results for the fourth quarter and Full Year of 2024
- Q4 '24 results continue to prove the resilience of Eni's business model, underpinned by capital and cost discipline.
- FY '24 Group operating and financial performance above full year guidance, driven by the effective execution of our strategy.
- Strategic investments of KKR in Enilive and EIP in Plenitude reiterate the attractiveness of our transition-focused satellite businesses in a year of outstanding strategic delivery.
- Better than anticipated progress in our portfolio activities delivered Group leverage at 15% on a proforma basis.
- Returned over €5 bln to shareholders, driven by underlying performance and deleveraging.
San Donato Milanese, February 27, 2025 - Eni's Board of Directors, chaired by Giuseppe Zafarana, yesterday approved the unaudited consolidated results for the fourth quarter and FY 2024. Eni CEO Claudio Descalzi said:
"2024 was an exceptional year of growth and value creation for Eni, underpinned by our financial framework and our cost discipline. Our leading industry position comes from the competitiveness of our asset portfolio and the unique managerial and financial alignment of our satellite model which has unlocked more than €21 bln of enterprise value in the year.
We continue to drive value from our exploration portfolio with E&P reporting a 3% increase in oil&gas production driven by organic projects start-ups and the integration of Neptune. We are also building additional value through the creation of a new geographically-focused North Sea satellite Ithaca Energy alongside the ongoing disposal of mature and non-core assets. Exploration has continued its track record of outstanding results booking 1.2 Bboe of new resources, efficiently creating future development opportunities and options for early monetization of our discoveries, consistent with Eni 'dual model'. Our chemical business, impacted by the structural headwinds in Europe, is being restructured and transformed by leveraging our technological expertise to build competitively advantaged businesses linked to the transition and the circular economy.
Plenitude and Enilive delivered on their EBITDA target despite a challenging commercial backdrop, emphasizing the value of our focused approach to future prospects. Operational capacity and throughput growth was outstanding. Meanwhile, building on the success of our satellite model track record, we are progressing our CCS projects in Italy and the UK laying the foundations of a new transition-related satellite, leveraging our existing skills and asset positions.
This outstanding level of delivery means we have reported €14.3 bln of proforma adjusted EBIT, and €13.6 bln of adjusted cash flow, both well above our plan. After funding €8.8 bln of organic capex, lower than we originally expected, we have delivered about €5 bln of free cash flow, pairing cash returns to shareholders, featuring an increased 2024 dividend and an accelerated pace in the execution of a near doubled €2 bln share buy-back program. Moreover, our portfolio actions mean our proforma leverage is now an historically low 15%, enabling us to continue to invest in the business and reward our shareholders through the cycle."

Strategic and financial highlights
Eni delivered another quarter of both growth and value creation by leveraging its asset portfolio and the satellite model, confirming the Company's distinctive competitive edge in changing energy markets.
- Q4 '24 oil & gas production was 1.72 mln boe/d (1.71 mln/boe/d, +3%, for the FY), ensuring reliable and cost-competitive energy supplies to markets.
- Phase II start-up of our flagship Baleine oil project, off Cote d'Ivoire, leveraging our fast-track, phased approach to reduce the time-to-market, started up on schedule in December.
- Congo FLNG project is progressing towards its target completion by end of 2025 with the launch of the hull of the Nguya floating vessel, which will increase the liquefaction capacity of the project from the current 0.6 to 3 MTPA.
- Exploration activities again delivered excellent results proving up 1.2 Bboe of resources in the year, setting the stage of a new gas-driven, growth phase thanks to material discoveries off Indonesia and Cyprus.
- In 2024 installed renewable capacity grew by 37% to 4.1 GW, and biorefinery throughputs increased by 29%. Our first bio-jet plant in Sicily commenced operation.
- Enilive and Plenitude together generated €1.9 bln EBITDA in 2024, delivering on the overall annual target.
- Confirmed the appeal of our satellite model in creating separate low-carbon entities, with the 2024 landmark investments of KKR in Enilive, acquiring a 25% interest, and of EIP in Plenitude, increasing its stake up to 10%, for a total amount of €3.1 bln, attracting aligned capital to fund their independent growth, whilst unlocking value for the parent. In February 2025, in the wake of the first transaction, it was agreed with KKR to increase its interest in Enilive by 5% to an overall 30%, further strengthening the investment case for our transition-related satellites.
- Building on the success of Vår Energi and Azule Energy, a new upstream satellite was established combining Eni's and Ithaca Energy's respective oil & gas portfolios in the UK, with a view of maximizing growth options and returns.
- Eni's technological leadership has been reinforced by the launch in November of the new High-Performance Computing, HPC6, the 5th most powerful in the World and first in the industry.
- Building on our exploration success, in February 2025 a major deal was signed to bring Cyprus offshore gas of Block 6 to Europe via Egypt.
2024 shareholder returns were €5.1 bln through dividends and an increased share buy-back program of €2 billion, 80% completed at year, end enabled by portfolio actions executed faster and for better value than planned.
- Taking into account cash in from the 25% KKR investment in Enilive (€2.9 bln), the second tranche of EIP's investment into Plenitude (about €0.2 bln) and other minor agreed transactions, the Group's proforma leverage stands at 15%.
- Continued exploration success has provided the Group with material options for early monetization and value creation.
Q4 results reflected strong execution against strategic objectives and diligent financial discipline.
- In Q4 '24 delivered Group proforma adjusted EBIT1 of €2.7 bln and adjusted net profit of €0.9 bln. Adjusted cash flow of €2.9 bln reflected continued strategic progress, new projects ramp-ups and financial discipline.
- Q4 '24 E&P proforma adjusted EBIT of €2.8 bln was helped by the contribution of higher value barrels at new projects, strong execution, and cost control, despite weaker Brent prices impacting both y-o-y and sequential comparisons (down 17% and 15%, respectively). Q4 production was resilient and grew sequentially by 3% (flat compared to Q4 last year) driven by higher activity levels in Kazakhstan and Libya, production ramp-ups at new projects in Cote d'Ivoire, Congo and Mozambique and despite divestment actions.
- Q4 '24 GGP and Power proforma adjusted EBIT was steady at €0.28 bln.
- Q4 '24 Enilive proforma adjusted EBITDA of €0.14 bln benefited from the marketing performance, offsetting lower biofuels margins. In Q4 '24 Plenitude proforma adjusted EBITDA was €0.21 bln, driven by a solid performance in the retail market.
- Q4 '24 Refining proforma adjusted result was negative at -€0.04 bln, down both sequentially and y-o-y, due to weak products crack spreads and lower throughputs. The Chemicals business incurred a loss (€0.23 bln), in line with previous quarters, and continues to be impacted by industry-wide headwinds: subdued demand, competitive pressure and the comparatively higher energy/environmental costs of operating in Europe.
- For the FY'24, Group proforma adjusted EBIT of €14.3 bln beat plan scenario adjusted guidance by €1.7 bln driven by E&P outperformance, GGP delivering 40% above original base case guidance and resilient contributions from Enilive and Plenitude in challenging scenarios.
- FY '24 adjusted operating cash flow of €13.6 bln beat plan scenario adjusted guidance by €1.0 bln, and largely covered the organic capex of €8.8 bln, itself below plan guidance of €9.0 bln. Organic free funds "FCF" of about €5 bln broadly matched cash distributions of €5.1 bln and together with around €0.2 bln of net disposals enabled the Company to maintain net borrowings at €12.2 bln, following the €2.4 bln financing of the Neptune acquisition.
1 As noted in the Q3 results, minor changes in the reportable segment have been made to reflect the new organizational structure effective from this quarter, namely Power aggregated with GGP and oil trading included in E&P. More details are provided in the "Basis of presentation" on page 16.
Outlook 2025
The Company will issue its financial and operating targets for 2025 and its strategic plans at a Capital Markets Update scheduled for 2 pm CET today. A press release summarizing the Group's strategy and objectives will be issued this morning before the conference call and disseminated through the Company's website (eni.com) and other public channels as required by applicable listing standards.

(a) Prices related to consolidated subsidiaries.
- In Q4 '24, hydrocarbon production averaged 1.72 mln boe/d (1.71 mln boe/d in the FY '24). Production was up by 3% in 2024 compared to the previous year and was driven by organic growth and the full integration of Neptune, partly offset by the divestment of oil properties in Nigeria, Alaska and Congo, as part of a plan to high-grade the portfolio. The organic growth was due to continuing production ramp-ups at the Baleine project in Côte d'Ivoire, in Congo and in Mozambique as well as higher activity in Mexico and Libya.
- Liquids production was 786 kbbl/d in Q4 '24, up by 1% compared to Q4 '23 (784 kbbl/d in the FY '24, up by 2% y-o-y), mainly due to the Neptune acquisition and growth in Côte d'Ivoire, Mexico and Libya. These increases were partly offset by lower production in Egypt and Kazakhstan as well as mature fields decline and divestments.
- Natural gas production was 4,862 mmcf/d in Q4 '24, up by 1% vs. Q4 '23 (4,831 mmcf/d in the FY '24, up by 5% y-o-y), mainly due to the Neptune acquisition, and growth in Congo, Mozambique and Libya. These increases were offset by mature fields decline and a slowdown of activities in Egypt due to issues on part of state-owned companies to fund their share of expenditures.
- Liquids price realizations trended broadly in line with benchmarks. Natural gas price realizations reflected the price exposure of the production portfolio, where about 32% of volumes are indexed to the price of crude oil, higher than the share of production linked to European hub pricing (18%). The remainder of E&P produced gas volumes is sold at fixed prices.

• In Q4 '24, Exploration & Production reported a proforma adjusted EBIT of €2,780 mln, down by 17% versus Q4 '23 due to lower realizations affected by a decrease in crude oil prices in USD (the marker Brent was down by 11% in the quarter). This decrease was partly offset by higher natural gas realizations (up by 2%), production growth and efficiency gains. In the FY '24, proforma adjusted EBIT was €13,022 mln, down by 4% compared to the FY '23, due to the same drivers as for the Q4 '24.
- In Q4 '24, the segment reported an adjusted net profit of €986 mln, decreasing by 31% compared to Q4 '23 mainly due to lower underlying performance, partly offset by higher contribution from JVs and associates. Adjusted net profit was €4,777 mln in the FY '24, a decrease of 15% y-o-y.
- In Q4 '24 the tax rate was around 56% increasing by 5 percentage points compared to the same period of 2023 (up by around 3 percentage points in the FY '24) driven by the current mix of geographies weighted down by countries with above average rates, as well as higher non-deductible expenses.

Strategic developments
- 1.2 bln boe of discovered resources were booked in the FY '24 through significant new upside in Indonesia, the major discovery of Calao in Côte d'Ivoire, plus upsides from appraisal activity performed at the Cronos discovery in Cyprus and two discoveries in Mexico.
- In November, finalized the sale to Hilcorp of 100% of the Nikaitchuq and Oooguruk assets in Alaska.
- In November, Eni signed exploration contracts with the Ministry of Mines, Petroleum and Energy of the Côte d'Ivoire to acquire four offshore exploration blocks, extending for about 5,720 km2, located close to the Calao discovery.
- In December, Eni began production of Phase 2 of the Baleine field, marking a material step in the development of Côte d'Ivoire's offshore reserves. The Floating Production, Storage and Offloading Unit (FPSO) Petrojarl Kong was commissioned on time and on budget in line with our fast-track approach to reduce the time-to-market, pairing the existing FSO Yamoussoukro. The associated gas will supply the local energy demand through the connection with a pipeline built during the project's Phase 1.
- In November, as part of the ongoing expansion plan at the Congo LNG project, Eni inaugurated the Nguya Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) vessel. This FLNG with a liquefaction capacity of 2.4 mln tons/y, will complement the existing Tango FLNG, in operation since December 2023 with a capacity of 0.6 mln tons/y. The total liquefaction capacity of the project (3 mln tons/y) is expected to be reached by the end of 2025.
- In February 205, signed a major agreement with Egypt and Cyprus for the exploitation of the Cronos gas discovery in Block 6 offshore Cyprus, which will enable Cyprus gas to be exported to Europe through the existing Eni's infrastructure in Egypt, the processing plants facilities of the Zohr field and the liquefaction capacity at the Damietta LNG plant.

- In Q4 '24, the Global Gas & LNG Portfolio segment achieved a proforma adjusted Ebit of €226 mln, including the operating margin of the equity accounted entity SeaCorridor. The result was down by 68% from Q4 '23, which benefitted from oneoff effects linked to the outcomes of negotiations/settlements. FY '24 proforma adjusted Ebit amounted to €1,138 mln, down by 67% y-o-y, due to the same driver of the quarter and due to a very favourable trading environment especially in the first part of 2023.
- Q4 '24 Ebit of subsidiaries benefitted from a reclassification to income taxes of certain operating items settled by the JV SeaCorridor on behalf of the shipper and comprised into the transport tariff.
- The Power generation business reported a proforma adjusted Ebit of €53 mln in Q4 '24, up by 29% year on year, mainly due to higher market scenario. In the FY '24, proforma adjusted Ebit was €136 mln, down by €30 mln compared to 2023. For the disclosure on business segment special charges, see "Special items" in the Group results section.
Strategic developments
• In November, signed an LNG supply contract in Thailand, with the aim of further developing LNG sales portfolio in the Pacific Basin.

Enilive
- In Q4 '24, bio throughputs were 163 ktonnes, down by 38% y-o-y, mainly due to lower volumes processed at the Gela biorefinery following planned maintenance shutdowns for bio-jet production start-up. In the FY '24, bio throughputs increasing by 29% y-o-y, benefitted from the contribution of Chalmette refinery.
- In Q4 '24, retail sales were 1.95 mmtonnes, an increase of 5% y-o-y, due to higher sales of gasoline and HVO, in Italy and higher volumes sold particularly in Germany, Spain and France. In the FY '24, retail sales amounted to 7.69 mmtonnes, an increase of 2% y-o-y, due to higher gasoline and HVO volumes, partly offset by lower volumes sold of gasoil in Italy.
- In Q4 '24, wholesales sales were 2.37 mmtonnes, a reduction of 24% y-o-y following lower volumes of gasoil partly offset by higher sales of jet-fuel. The performance recorded in the FY '24 increased by 2% y-o-y at 12.77 mmtonnes.
Plenitude
- As of December 31, 2024, retail and business customers were slightly more than 10 mln (gas and electricity), with a slight decrease compared to December 31, 2023, due to the competitive pressure, mainly in Italy, partially offset by the increase in the customer base outside Italy.
- Retail and business gas sales to end customers amounted to 1.73 bcm in Q4 '24, with a slight decrease compared to the same period of 2023. In the FY '24, gas sales amounted to 5.51 bcm, down by 9% compared to 2023, mainly impacted by lower consumptions.
- Retail and business power sales to end customers were 4.62 TWh in Q4 '24, in line compared to Q4 '23. In the FY '24 power sales amounted to 18.28 TWh, a 2% increase vs the FY '23.
- As of December 31, 2024, the installed capacity from renewables was 4.1 GW, up by approximately 1.1 GW compared to December 31, 2023, mainly thanks to the organic development in the USA, Spain, the UK and Italy, and the acquisition in Spain and Germany, as well as the acquisition of two photovoltaic plants in the USA with a total capacity of 0.2 GW (Eni's share) which was signed just at year-end.
- Energy production from renewable sources was 1.2 TWh in Q4 '24, up by 20% year-on-year, mainly thanks to the contribution from acquired assets in operation and the start-up of organic projects (4.7 TWh in the FY '24, +18% vs the comparative period).
- As of December 31, 2024, EV charging points amounted to 21.3 thousand, up by 12% compared to 19 thousand as of December 31, 2023, thanks to the network development.

• In Q4 '24 Enilive reported a proforma adjusted Ebit of €53 mln, down by 42% compared to the same period in 2023. The biofuels business was negatively affected by deteriorated margins, impacted by oversupplies pressuring spot HVO prices in EU and lower RIN in North America (around 20% lower than Q4 '23). That negative trend was partly offset by a positive performance of Marketing activities at our advanced network of service stations. In the FY '24, Enilive reported a proforma adjusted Ebit of €539 mln, compared to €738 mln in the FY '23 (down by 27%).
Proforma adjusted Ebitda amounted to €136 mln, down by 21% vs Q4 '23 (€173 mln). In the FY '24 reported a proforma adjusted Ebitda of €852 mln, compared to €1,013 mln in the FY '23 (down by 16%).

(a) From January 1, 2024, the benchmark refining margin has been calculated based on a new methodology which considers a revised industrial set-up in connection with the planned restructuring of the Livorno plant and implemented optimizations of utilities consumption, as well as current trends in crude supplies building in a slate of both high-sulfur and low-sulfur crudes.
Refining
- In Q4 '24, the Standard Eni Refining Margin averaged 3.7 \$/barrel vs. 4.3 \$/barrel in the comparative period mainly due to less favorable products crack spreads, pressured by weak demand, particularly in the industrial and construction sectors, overcapacity and competitive pressures from other geographies (5.1 \$/barrel in the FY '24, compared to 8.1 \$/barrel reported in the FY '23, representing a 37% decrease, impacted by the trend recovered in the Q3 '24).
- In Q4 '24, throughputs on own accounts at Eni's refineries in Italy were 3.30 mmtonnes, down by 23% y-o-y reflecting lower volumes processed at the Livorno refinery following a restructuring of the plant and at the Sannazzaro refinery. Throughputs outside Italy increased by 5% compared to Q4 '23. In the FY '24, throughputs decreased mainly in Italy (down by 18%) following the above-mentioned drivers.
Chemicals
- Sales of chemical products were 0.74 mmtonnes in Q4 '24, representing a 4% decrease y-o-y following lower demand. In the FY '24, sales amounted to 3.17 mmtonnes, up by 2% vs. the FY '23.
- Margins remained weak across the board as commodity prices did not recover feedstock and energy input expenses due to European headwinds, sluggish economic activity, and competitive pressures from players with better cost structures.

- In Q4 '24, the Refining business delivered a proforma adjusted loss of €44 mln, below Q4 '23 result, due to weaker refining margins and lower throughputs. The result included the ADNOC R> contribution. In the FY '24, proforma adjusted Ebit of €101 mln was well below the FY '23 result due to the above-mentioned drivers.
- The Chemical business, managed by Versalis, reported a proforma adjusted loss of €231 mln in Q4 '24, slightly lower than the one incurred in Q4 '23, amidst a continuing downturn in the European chemical sector, driven by macro headwinds and comparatively higher production costs in Europe vs other geographies, which reduced the competitiveness of Versalis productions with respect to US and Asian players in an oversupplied market. In the FY '24, proforma adjusted loss was €814 mln (€614 mln loss in the FY '23) reflecting exceptionally adverse market conditions.
For the disclosure on business segment special charges, see "Special items" in the Group results section.
Strategic developments
- As announced last October 2024, Versalis is undertaking a comprehensive plan to make its operations profitable again through the transformation, the decarbonization and the revamping of the chemical business. A new investment plan will be executed to develop new chemical platforms in high value downstream activities such as renewables, circular and specialized products while restructuring efforts will address exposure to basic chemicals, with an overall net positive impact on employment.
- In January, Versalis signed a strategic partnership with Lummus Technology, a global provider of process technologies, which will serve as the exclusive licensor for phenolics value chain. Both companies will also collaborate on engineering, marketing and licensing, as well as providing proprietary catalysts and equipment for both processes.
- In the refining business, the plan to restructure the Livorno hub is ongoing, transforming the site in a biorefinery to be than conferred to Enilive.
Sustainability and other developments
The main achievements of the Group strategy aiming at improving the ESG performance of Eni's industrial activities have been:
- In November, Eni has been awarded "Gold Standard reporting" of the Oil and Gas Methane Partnership 2.0 (OGMP 2.0) for its commitment to reporting emissions at the highest data quality levels. OGMP 2.0 is an initiative of the United Nations Environment Programme's International Methane Emissions Observatory, aimed at setting the global standard for methane accountability and transparency in the oil and gas sector as a necessary step to effectively track and target mitigation with measurement-based data.
- In November, Eni signed an agreement with the Ministry of Water and Forests of Côte d'Ivoire to launch a project to preserve and restore forest areas in the country. The initiative will cover 14 forests over an area of 155,000 hectares located in the south and south-east of the country. The agreement focuses on two areas of intervention: the first aims to conserve the remaining existing forest heritage and biodiversity, the second foresees the restoration of forest area through the planting of about 12 million trees.
- In January 2025, Eni through Joule, school of entrepreneurship, announced the launch of "Yasika", an initiative dedicated to fostering entrepreneurial spirit and innovation in the Republic of Congo. This program has been implemented in partnership with Cariplo Factory, Seedstars, together with the NGO AVSI and BeEntrepreneurs, in order to develop innovative solutions in the fields of energy transition and decarbonization while training a new generation of Congolese entrepreneurs.
- In November, Eni completed and launched a new supercomputing system (High Performance Computing HPC) HPC6. HPC6 provides a significant increase in computational power to a peak of 606 PFlop/s, or over 600 quadrillion mathematical operations per second. The system has achieved a debut ranking of No.5. in the new TOP500's list of super computers.
- In 2024 Eni has again been confirmed in a leadership position in the main ESG ratings referenced by the financial community (MSCI, Sustainalytics, Moody's Analytics, MIB® ESG, CA100+ Net Zero Benchmark, Carbon Tracker, FTSE4Good Developed Index).

- In Q4 '24, the Group proforma adjusted Ebit of €2,699 mln was down by 28% compared to the corresponding year-ago quarter driven by a 17% decline in E&P (down by €559 mln) due to lower realized prices deteriorated margins in the Refining business (down by €147 mln), and by the GGP decline attributable to a significant gain recorded in the yearago quarter on the back of the favorable outcome of an arbitration procedure. In the FY '24, the Group reported a proforma adjusted Ebit of €14,322 mln, down by 20% compared to the FY '23, due to the GGP and Power segment (down by 65% y-o-y) which benefitted from a more favorable trading environment in 2023 and contractual one-offs and a favorable arbitration outcome, as well as due to a continuing industry downturn in the oil downstream sectors affected by weak demand and market competitive pressures.
- In Q4 '24 adjusted profit before taxes was €1,932 mln, €1,257 mln lower than the Q4 '23, or 39%, reflecting the trend in the Group adjusted Ebit and lower net profits at Eni's equity-accounted entities.
- In Q4 '24 adjusted net profit attributable to Eni's shareholders of €892 mln was 46% lower than the Q4 '23. Compared to a smaller 39% y-o-y reduction in the pre-tax profit level, the contraction in adjusted net profit was affected by an increased Group tax rate of 52.8% (up from 47.3% in the year-ago quarter) due to the prevailing effect of the Upstream high taxation in foreign jurisdictions and a reduced pre-tax contribution of other sectors generally operating in OECD jurisdiction with lower tax rates than E&P.
- FY '24 special items of €2,315 mln comprise non-cash charges for E&P asset write-downs of approximately €1.8 bln after tax, driven by re-prioritization of investment capital away from the development of future phases of marginal properties and while focusing on the core projects in the portfolio consistent with the strategy, partly mitigated by anagreement to share past and provisioned environmental expenses with an Italian operator, gains on E&P assets divestment and a write-up of deferred tax assets at Italian subsidiaries driven by improved profitability prospects.

(a) Includes payables due to suppliers recognized as financing payables because of the deferral of payment terms and incurred in connection with expenditures to purchase plant and equipment (€2,172 million and €966 million in the full year '24 and '23; €544 million and €294 million in Q4 '24 and '23, respectively).
Net cash provided by operating activities in the FY '24 was €13,092 mln and included €1,946 mln of dividends received by Eni's equity-accounted investments, mainly Azule Energy, Vår Energi and ADNOC R>.
Adjusted net cash before changes in working capital at replacement cost was €13,590 mln in the FY '24 and was net of the following items: inventory holding gains or losses relating to oil and products, the reversing of timing difference between gas inventories accounted at weighted average cost and management's own measure of performance leveraging inventories to optimize margins, the fair value of commodity derivatives lacking the formal criteria to be designated as hedges or prorated on an accrual basis and other items like a tax payable related to past periods Italian extraordinary levy contributions.

Organic capex was €8.8 bln in the FY '24 (down 4% y-o-y). Net of organic capex, the free cash flow ante working capital was about €5 bln.
Cash inflows for divestments net of acquisitions were about €0.2 bln. Acquisitions related to the upstream operator Neptune Energy (€2.4 bln including acquired net debt), expansion of renewable generation capacity at Plenitude, and a service stations network in Spain. Divestments comprised E&P Nigerian and Alaskan onshore assets (€1.7 bln), the sale of 10% of the share capital of Saipem (€0.4 bln), production licenses in Congo (€0.2 bln), as well as the Plenitude capital contribution of about €0.6 bln following the finalization of the agreement with the EIP fund who acquired a minority interest (7.6%).
Net financial borrowings before IFRS 16 in the FY '24 increased by around €2.6 bln as the main cash inflows of adjusted operating cash flow (€13.6 bln), issuance of a hybrid bond (€1.8 bln) and net cash inflow (€0.2 bln) related to divestments and acquisitions were more than offset by adjusted working capital needs (around €0.4 bln), capex requirements of €8.8 bln, dividend payments to Eni's shareholders and share repurchases of €5.1 bln (€2 bln of share repurchases and €3.1 bln of dividends relating to the third and fourth instalments of the 2023 dividend, and the first and second tranches of the 2024 dividend), payables due to suppliers in connection with expenditures to purchase plant and equipment (€2.2 bln) classified as finance debt due to deferral of payments terms, as well as the payment of lease liabilities and hybrid bond interest (€1.3 bln) and other changes (€0.3 bln).
As of February 20, 2025, completed the buyback program of €2 bln, corresponding to a total 144 mln share repurchased.
In January 2025, the parent company Eni SpA successfully issued a new perpetual hybrid bond to refinance an outstanding perpetual hybrid bond worth €1.5 bln, with the first call date in October 2025. At the end of the offer period, the amount accepted by Eni for the repurchase of the hybrid bond was about €1.25 billion, equivalent to approximately 83% of the nominal amount.

As of December 31, 2024, fixed assets (€89 bln) increased by €7.1 bln from January 1, 2024, due to capital expenditures, the acquisition of the Neptune Energy Group as well as positive exchange rate translation differences (the period-end exchange rate of EUR vs. USD was 1.039, down 6% compared to 1.105 as of December 31, 2023), thus increasing the euro book values of dollar-denominated assets. These positives were offset by the divestment of E&P assets in Nigeria and Alaska and other non-strategic assets, as well as DD&A and impairment charges and exploration well write-offs.
Shareholders' equity (€55.7 bln) increased by €2 bln from January 1, 2024, due to the net profit for the year (€2.8 bln), the issuance of a hybrid bond by a Group subsidiary (€1.8 bln) and positive foreign currency translation differences (about €3.1 bln) reflecting the appreciation of the USD vs. EUR., offset by shareholders remuneration of €5.1 bln (dividend distribution and share buy-backs). Non-controlling interests of €2.9 bln included as of December 31, 2024: i) a minority participating interest acquired by a private equity fund in the share capital of Plenitude (€0.4 bln); ii) a perpetual subordinated hybrid bond issued by a Group subsidiary (€1.8 bln) classified as equity since the Group retains an unconditional right to avoid transferring cash or other financial assets to the bondholders.
Net borrowings 2 before lease liabilities as of December 31, 2024, amounted to €12.2 bln, up by €2.6 bln from January 1, 2024.
Leverage 3 – the ratio of net borrowings to total equity before IFRS 16 – was 0.22 on December 31, 2024. Considering the incoming cash-ins of the KKR investment in Enilive (€2.9 bln), the second tranche of EIP investment in Plenitude (€0.2 bln) and other minor agreed transactions, the Group proforma leverage stands at 15%.

Special items
The breakdown of pre-tax special items recorded in operating profit by segment (net charges of €4,666 mln and €2,048 mln in the FY and Q4 '24, respectively) is as follows:
- E&P: net charges of €2,505 mln in the FY '24 (net charges of €1,090 mln in Q4 '24) mainly related to write-downs of oil&gas properties driven by alignment of a disposal group in Alaska to its fair value and a reserves revision at another oil&gas assets that was subsequently aligned to fair value; such assets review was part of a re-prioritization of investment capital away from future phases of the development of marginal properties and instead a focus on the core projects in the portfolio consistent with strategy; as well as write-off of an exploration project due to geopolitical constraints.
- GGP and Power: net charges of €2,144 mln in the FY '24 (net charges of €401 mln in Q4 '24) relating to the accounting effect of certain fair-valued commodity derivatives lacking the formal criteria to be classified as hedges or to be waived from fair value accounting under the own use exemption (charges of €1,740 mln and €140 mln in the FY '24 and Q4 '24, respectively); and the difference between the value of gas inventories accounted for under the weighted-average cost method provided by IFRS and management's own measure of inventories, which moves forward at the time of inventory drawdown, the margins captured on volumes in inventories above normal levels leveraging the seasonal spread in gas prices net of the effects of the associated commodity derivatives (gains of €159 mln and of €174 mln in the FY '24 and Q4 '24, respectively). The reclassification of the positive balance of €228 mln in FY '24 (€274 mln in Q4 '24) related to derivatives covering margin exposure to foreign currency exchange rate movements and exchange translation differences of commercial payables and receivables.
- Enilive and Plenitude: net gains of €514 mln in the FY '24 (net gains of €91 mln in Q4 '24) mainly related to the fair values of commodity derivatives lacking the formal criteria to be classified as hedges under IFRS relating exposure to the gas commodity; and the write-down of capital expenditures made for compliance and stay-in-business (charges of €117 mln and €102 mln in the FY and Q4 '24, respectively).
- Refining and Chemicals: net charges of €686 mln in the FY '24 (net charges of €458 mln in Q4 '24) mainly related to the write-down of capital expenditures made for compliance and stay-in-business at certain CGU with expected negative cash flows (€455 mln and €175 mln in the two accounting periods, respectively), and environmental provision of €177 mln (€212 mln in Q4 '24) which were partly offset by a gain due to an agreement covering certain environmental matters as described below.
- Corporate and other activities: a net gain of €155 mln in the FY '24 (net charges of €190 mln in Q4 '24) mainly related to the signing of a comprehensive agreement with an Italian operator on a 50-50 sharing of environmental costs related to several Italian sites, which were previously carried out or provisioned by Eni at 100%.
The other special items in the FY '24 related to gains in connection to the divestment of upstream assets (€0.4 bln), to the business combination with Ithaca Energy (€0.1 bln) and the sale of a 10% stake in the equity interests of Eni's interest in Saipem (€0.2 bln).
The item tax effects in the FY '24 included about €1 bln of write-up of deferred tax assets at the Italian consolidated statement for tax purposes reflecting improved profitability prospects of Italian subsidiaries, mainly Plenitude and Enilive.

Basis of presentation
Effective October 1st, 2024, the management has established a new organizational set-up of the Company articulated on three business groups:
- i) "Chief Transition & Financial Officer" focused on maximizing the value of the businesses relating to new energies, renewables and biofuels;
- ii) "Global Natural Resources" designated to maximize the value of the Company's assets in the oil & gas value chain;
- iii) "Industrial Transformation" designated to accomplish the restructuring of the chemicals and the oil downstream businesses.
Based on changes in the attribution of profit responsibilities, Eni's reportable segments have been redefined as follows:
- Exploration & Production, which is now integrating results of the activities of marketing and trading of oil&products to enhance synergies and to fully capture margins across the value chain;
- Global Gas & LNG Portfolio and Power considering that gas-fired power generation activities are ancillary to gas supply and trading activities;
- Enilive and Plenitude engaged in the energy transition, which are sharing a common strategy of growth and value creation leveraging cross selling opportunities in the retail space;
- Refining and Chemical focused on driving the restructuring and industrial transformation of the chemical sector and of the downstream oil;
- Corporate and other activities engaged in business support activities, environmental services and the business under development of CCS and the agribusiness.

For further information, see the section "Alternative performance measures (Non‐GAAP measures)" of this press release.
The manager responsible for the preparation of the Company's financial reports, Francesco Esposito, declares pursuant to rule 154‐bis paragraph 2 of Legislative Decree No. 58/1998 that data and information disclosed in this press release correspond to the Company's evidence and accounting books and records.
Disclaimer
This press release 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 impact of the pandemic disease, 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.
The all sources reserve replacement ratio disclosed elsewhere in this press release is calculated as ratio of changes in proved reserves for the year resulting from revisions of previously reported reserves, improved recovery, extensions, discoveries and sales or purchases of minerals in place, to production for the year. A ratio higher than 100% indicates that more proved reserves were added than produced in a year. The reserves replacement ratio (RRR) is a measure used by management to indicate the extent to which production is replaced by proved oil and gas reserves. The RRR is not an indicator of future production because the ultimate development and production of reserves is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. These include the risks associated with the successful completion of large‐scale projects, including addressing ongoing regulatory issues and completion of infrastructure, as well as changes in oil and gas prices, political risks and geological and other environmental risks.

Alternative performance indicators (Non-GAAP measures)
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
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).
Inventory holding gain or loss
This is the difference between the cost of sales of the volumes sold in the period based on the cost of supplies of the same period and the cost of sales of the volumes sold calculated using the weighted average cost method of inventory accounting as required by IFRS.
Special items
These include certain significant income or charges pertaining to either: (i) infrequent or unusual events and transactions, being identified as non-recurring items under such circumstances; (ii) certain events or transactions which are not considered to be representative of the ordinary course of business, as in the case of environmental provisions, restructuring charges, asset impairments or write ups and gains or losses on divestments even though they occurred in past periods or are likely to occur in future ones. 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 settled 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
Leverage is a Non-GAAP measure of the Company's financial condition, calculated as the ratio between net borrowings and shareholders' equity, including noncontrolling interest. Leverage is the reference ratio to assess the solidity and efficiency of the Group balance sheet in terms of incidence of funding sources including third-party funding and equity as well as to carry out benchmark analysis with industry standards.
Gearing
Gearing is calculated as the ratio between net borrowings and capital employed net and measures how much of capital employed net is financed recurring to third-party funding.
Cash flow from operations before changes in working capital at replacement cost
This is defined as net cash provided from operating activities before changes in working capital at replacement cost. It also excludes certain non-recurring charges such as extraordinary credit allowances and, considering the high market volatility, changes in the fair value of commodity derivatives lacking the formal criteria to be designed as hedges, including derivatives which were not eligible for the own use exemption, the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges, as well as the effects of certain settled commodity derivatives whenever it is deemed that the underlying transaction is expected to occur in future reporting periods.
Free cash flow
Free cash flow represents the link existing between changes in cash and cash equivalents (deriving from the statutory cash flows statement) and in net borrowings (deriving from the summarized cash flow statement) that occurred from the beginning of the period to the end of period. Free cash flow is the cash in excess of capital expenditure needs. Starting from free cash flow it is possible to determine either: (i) changes in cash and cash equivalents for the period by adding/deducting cash flows relating to financing debts/receivables (issuance/repayment of debt and receivables related to financing activities), shareholders' equity (dividends paid, net repurchase of own shares, capital issuance) and the effect of changes in consolidation and of exchange rate differences; (ii) changes in net borrowings for the period by adding/deducting cash flows relating to shareholders' equity and the effect of changes in consolidation and of exchange rate differences.
Net borrowings
Net borrowings is calculated as total finance debt less cash, cash equivalents, financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss and financing receivables held for non-operating purposes. Financial activities are qualified as "not related to operations" when these are not strictly related to the business operations.
Proforma adjusted EBIT
Is the measure adding the operating margin of the equity accounted entities to the adjusted EBIT, introduced by the management to reflect the increasing contribution from the JV/associates also in connection with the Eni satellite model.

Leverage and net borrowings
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.

• TRIR (Total recordable injury rate) of the workforce was 0.67, representing an increase compared to 2023 due to a higher number of reported events involving both employees and contractors, those latter in relation to an incident that occurred at the Eni fuel storage hub of Calenzano (near Florence), which caused five fatalities among contractors last December 2024. The Italian judicial authorities are currently investigating the dynamic and the causes of the incident.
- Direct GHG emissions (Scope 1) amounted to 21.2 million tonnes of CO2eq, reflecting a decrease compared to 2023. The reduction was mainly driven by lower emissions in the Exploration & Production segment, due to the divestment of assets in Nigeria and Congo and the implementation of gas valorization projects in Congo, as well as in the Refining business due to plants restructuring and scheduled maintenance shutdowns.
- Direct methane emissions (Scope 1) decreased compared to 2023 mainly thanks to the continuous monitoring and maintenance campaigns of fugitive emissions at the Upstream asset, in line with the requirements of the Oil & Gas Methane Partnership 2.0. The reduction also reflects changes in portfolio activities as well as above mentioned projects.
- Volumes of hydrocarbon sent to routing flaring reported a significant reduction compared to 2023, mainly thanks to the asset divestment in Nigeria (NAOC).
- Total volume of oil spills decreased significantly, driven by a reduction in spills from operations (-91%) and from sabotage (-58%). All sabotage incidents occurred in Nigeria, except for one minor event in Italy.
- Re-injected production water increased compared to 2023, mainly due to higher volumes from operations in the Netherlands, Mexico and Ghana.
