Eni: new giant gas discovery in the offshore Mozambique

Mineral potential of 212.5 billion cubic meters of gas in place encountered

San Donato Milanese (Milan), February 15, 2012 - Eni announces a new giant natural gas discovery at the Mamba North 1 prospect, in Area 4 Offshore Mozambique, encountering a mineral potential of 212.5 billion cubic meters (7.5 tcf) of gas in place.

This new discovery, in addition to the Mamba South discovery from October 2011, further increases the potential of the Mamba complex in the Area 4. It is estimated that the total volume of gas in place reaches now about 850 billion cubic meters (30 tcf).

The Mamba North 1 discovery, located in water depths of 1,690 meters, reaches a total depth of 5,330 meters and is located approximately 23 km north of Mamba South 1 discovery and 45 km off the Capo Delgado coast. The discovery well encountered a total of 186 meters of gas pay in multiple high-quality Oligocene and Paleocene sands. During the production test, the first performed at offshore Rovuma, the well produced high quality gas with flow rates, constrained by surface facilities, of about 1 million cubic meters a day and minor volumes of condensates. In a final production completion configuration, estimated gas production per well is expected to reach over 4 million cubic meters a day. During 2012, Eni plans to drill at least other five wells in nearby structures to assess the upside potential of Mamba Compex. Eni is the operator of Offshore Area 4 with a 70% participating interest. Co-owners in the area are Galp Energia (10%), KOGAS (10%) and ENH (10%, held through the exploration phase).

Paolo Scaroni, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "2011 was a year of significant exploration success for Eni. The large Mamba discovery in Mozambique opens up extraordinary development opportunities and is ideally placed to serve the fast-growing Asian gas markets. We have also made important discoveries in the Barents Sea, Angola and South-East Pacific. Meanwhile, we have rapidly restarted our Libyan operations, reducing the impact of the Revolution on 2011 results. The difficult macro economic situation in Italy and Europe has impacted our results in Gas & Power, Refining & Marketing and in the petrochemical sector. Despite that, thanks to our excellent strategic positioning, Eni will continue to generate industry-leading results, and create value for its shareholders in the long term".

Adjusted operating profit Enis adjusted operating profit for the fourth quarter of 2011 was euro 4.26 billion, a decrease of 10.1% from the fourth quarter 2010 driven by the operating losses recorded by the downstream businesses against the backdrop of a recessionary environment. This development was partly absorbed by an improved operating performance reported by the Exploration & Production division (up 4.3%) reflecting higher oil prices and the effort made to recover the Libyan output. The Gas & Power division reported sharply lower operating profit (down 50.5%) dragged down by losses in the Marketing business. This reflected depressed gas consumption and rising competitive pressures, which squeezed unit margins and lowered sales opportunities. The Marketing results reflected only a part of the benefits associated with the renegotiations of the supply contracts, some of which are still pending necessarily delaying the recognition of the associated economic effects. The Refining & Marketing division and the Petrochemical segment both reported wider operating losses driven by the high supply cost of petroleum feedstock which was only partially transferred to product prices pressured by weak demand trends on their respective market outlets. Full-year adjusted operating profit was euro 17.97 billion, an increase of 3.9% from 2010 driven by a robust performance delivered by the Exploration & Production division. This positive was partly offset by sharply lower results in the other businesses as well as lengthening times to renegotiate certain gas supply contracts.

Adjusted net profit Adjusted net profit for the fourth quarter of 2011 was euro 1.54 billion, down 9.5% compared with a year ago. This decrease reflected lower operating results and higher consolidated adjusted tax rate (up 2 percentage points) due to an increasing taxable profit earned by the Exploration & Production subsidiaries as well as a changed tax regime for certain Italian subsidiaries as a result of the Italian budget laws enacted in the summer which increased by 4 percentage points to 10.5% the Italian windfall tax levied on energy companies (the so-called Robin Tax) and enlarged its scope to include gas transport and distribution companies. These negative effects were partly offset by increased results reported by equity-accounted and cost-accounted entities (up euro 250 million). For the full year, adjusted net profit increased by 1.5% to euro 6.97 billion. The increased operating profit was partly offset by higher net finance charges (down euro 433 million) and Group adjusted tax rate (up approximately 2 percentage points).

Capital expenditure Capital expenditure amounted to euro 3.89 billion for the quarter and euro 13.44 billion for the full year, mainly relating to the continuing development of oil and gas reserves, the upgrading of rigs and offshore vessels in the Engineering & Construction segment and of the gas transport infrastructure. The Group also incurred expenditures of euro 0.36 billion to finance joint-venture projects and equity investees.

Cash flow The main cash inflows for the quarter were net cash generated by operating activities amounting to euro 3,189 million (euro 14,394 million for the full year) which benefited from a larger amount of receivables due beyond the end of the reporting period transferred to financing institutions (up by euro 654 million in the fourth quarter; euro 500 million in the full year). Proceeds from divestments amounted to euro 1,577 million (euro 1,911 million for the full year) and mainly related to the divestment of the companys interests in the entities engaged in the international transport of gas from Northern Europe and Russia. These inflows were used to fund part of the financing requirements associated with capital expenditure of euro 3,894 million (euro 13,438 million for the full year), and, in the full year outflows, expenditures in joint venture initiatives, and the dividend payments to Enis shareholders amounting to euro 3,695 million, that included both the interim dividend for fiscal year 2011 and the payment of the balance of the 2010 dividend. Other dividend payments to

non-controlling interests amounted to euro 549 million. As a result, net borrowings 1 as of December 31, 2011 amounted to euro 28,032 million, representing an increase of euro 1,913 million from December 31, 2010, while decreasing by euro 241 million from September 30, 2011.

Financial Ratios The ratio of net borrowings to total equity (shareholders equity plus non-controlling interest) leverage 2 was 0.46 at December 31, 2011 down from 0.47 as of December 31, 2010. Return on Average Capital Employed (ROACE) 2 calculated on an adjusted basis for the twelve-month period to December 31, 2011 was 9.9% (10.7% at December 31, 2010).

Dividend 2011 The Board of Directors intends to submit a proposal for distributing a cash dividend of euro 1.04 per share 3 (euro 1.00 in 2010) at the Annual Shareholders Meeting. Included in this annual payment is euro 0.52 per share which was paid as interim dividend in September 2011. The balance of euro 0.52 per share is payable to shareholders on May 24, 2012, the ex-dividend date being May 21, 2012.

Exploration & Production In the fourth quarter of 2011, Enis reported liquids and gas production of 1.678 mmboe/d down by 14.1% from the fourth quarter of 2010 (down by 12.9% from 2010). This reduction was driven by a lowered flow from Eni activities in Libya, which was affected by the shut down of almost all the companys plants and facilities including the GreenStream pipeline throughout the peak of the Countrys internal crisis (which lasted approximately 6 months). The extraordinary effort made in the last part of the year to restart production and reopen the GreenStream pipeline enabled the Company to bring back online an average Libyan output of 160 kboe/d in the quarter, up from approximately 50 kboe/d in the third quarter, partly offsetting the impact of force majeure. Performance for the quarter was impacted by lower entitlements in the Companys PSAs due to higher oil prices with an overall effect of approximately 20 kboe/d compared to the previous years (approximately 30 kboe/d from the full year). When excluding these negative effects, the production of the two reporting periods was unchanged. The ramp-up of the field started in 2010 and the 2011 start-ups, in particular in Italy and Australia in the fourth quarter, offset a lower-than-anticipated growth in Iraq and the impact of planned facility downtimes, particularly in the UK and Kazakhstan in the quarter.

Gas & Power In the fourth quarter of 2011 Enis gas sales fell by 11.4% to 25.47 bcm due to weak demand and increasing competitive pressure driven by the oversupply in the marketplace. Volumes marketed on the domestic market decreased by 11.8% down in all segments, with the thermoelectric sales affected by the higher competitiveness of renewable sources and coal, and sales to wholesalers, medium-sized enterprises, services and residential users impacted by unusual winter weather. Enis volumes on the European markets decreased by 6% reflecting increased competitive pressure and unfavorable weather conditions, mainly in Benelux (down 44%), Hungary (down 12%) and France (down 11%), partly offset by higher sales in Turkey and Germany/Austria. In addition sharply lower off-takes by importers to Italy were registered in the period (down 76%) due to the declaration of force majeure on Libyan gas, suspended on December 20, 2011. For the full year, gas sales (96.76 bcm) were barely unchanged from 2010. Volumes marketed in Italy reported a positive trend

in the first part of the year, almost completely offset by lower sales registered in the fourth quarter. Outside Italy the decrease of sales to importers in Italy (down 62%) was absorbed by the higher volumes marketed on the European target markets (up 8%) driven by growth in Turkey, UK/Northern Europe, France, Germany/Austria and the Iberian Peninsula while sales in Benelux sharply decreased due to competitive pressure, mainly in the wholesale segment. LNG sales in extra European markets increased mainly in the Far East and South America.

Refining & Marketing Refining margins for the quarter remained at unprofitable levels (the marker Brent margin was $2.52 per barrel; down 8% from the fourth quarter of 2010) due to high feedstock costs which were only partially transferred to prices at the pump driven by weak underlying fundamentals (sluggish demand, excess capacity and high inventory levels). Enis margins in the same period decreased due to narrowing light-heavy crude differentials in the Mediterranean area dragging down the profitability of Enis high conversion refineries. For the full year, Enis refining margins were influenced by the same factors as in the quarter. In the fourth quarter of 2011, Eni marketed lower volumes on its Italian retail network, down by 6% (down 3% for the full year) reflecting weak fuel consumption. The Company implemented a number of commercial initiatives intended to preserve its market share which remained stable in spite of a down market (30.4% in the fourth quarter; 30.5% in the full year). Retail sales in the European market were in line with the fourth quarter of 2011, while decreasing by 3% from 2010.

Currency Results of operations for the full year were negatively impacted by the appreciation of the euro vs. the US dollar (up 4.9%).

Portfolio developments

The year 2011 was marked by the Libyan crisis on the one hand; on the other hand the Company showed its extraordinary resilience as it managed to recover its production levels in the Country almost completely in a very short time frame, following a situation of total standstill of its industrial activities during the peak of the crisis. In spite of those developments, we continued to pursue our long-term growth strategy laying foundations for a new development stage for Eni. The Mamba discovery found a massive gas field off the coast of Mozambique, representing by far the most important operated finding ever made by Eni. It promises to change the Group profile ensuring years of future growth and opportunities for investments and returns. The Final Investment Decision of the Perla giant gas field was sanctioned. The Perla field is located in the offshore Cardon IV Block in the Gulf of Venezuela. In the year 2011 we achieved start-ups at eleven oil and gas fields which are expected to add approximately 80 kboe/d at plateau to our medium-term production. We made final investment decisions to develop large projects such as the jointly-operated Samburgskoye and Urengoskoye giant gas fields in Siberia, in addition to the above mentioned Perla project. Many important deals were finalized to broaden the Companys portfolio of growth options in the unconventional resources, including agreements signed in China, Algeria and Ukraine. Several exploration successes strengthened the Companys resource base in the core areas of the Barents Sea, Angola, Indonesia, the USA and Ghana. In the Gas & Power division, we consolidated our leading market position by integrating the Altergaz customer portfolio in France and acquiring Nuon in Belgium, targeting the valuable residential and industrial segments in both cases. We started the "green chemistry" project at our industrial site of Porto Torres, Sardinia, paving the way to a strategic shift in our petrochemicals activity away from the old, commoditized businesses in favor of growing niche and innovative production. In this way, we are aiming to restore the economic equilibrium of Polimeri Europa over the medium-term. Lastly, we rationalized our asset portfolio by divesting our interests in the entities engaged in international gas transport form Northern Europe and Russia, and exited certain other marginal assets.

Fourth Quarter Update on the Libyan situation Following the conclusion of the internal conflict, and the gradual return to political and social normality in the Country, we have stepped up our efforts to fully resume production at our Libyan sites and facilities and gas exports through the GreenStream pipeline on the back of our stable contacts with the Interim Transitional National Council and continued collaboration with the NOC. Major milestones achieved in the final part of the year include the restart of oil production at the Wafa and Bu Attifel fields in September, the reopening of the GreenStream and gas production at the Wafa field in October, and the return to production of the Sabratha gas platform at the Bahr Essalam field in November which fills the GreenStream, and the El feel and Bouri oilfields during the same month. Production at our Libyan sites is currently flowing at approximately 240 kboe/d and we are targeting to achieve the pre-crisis production plateau of 280 kboe/d and full ramp-up by the second half of 2012. On December 20, 2011 we notified our counterpart in the Libyan petroleum contracts, NOC, of the termination of the declaration of force majeure which had occurred in April 2011.

Karachaganak On December 14, 2011, the Republic of Kazakhstan (RoK) and the contracting companies in the giant Karachaganak gas-condensate field in north-west Kazakhstan reached an agreement to settle all pending claims relating to the recovery of costs incurred to develop the field, as well as a series of tax disputes. The agreement will support the further development of the field. The agreement, effective from June 30, 2012 on satisfaction of conditions precedent, involves Kazakhstans KazMunaiGas (KMG) acquiring a 10% interest in the project. This will be done by each of the contracting companies transferring 10% of their rights and interest in the Karachaganak Final Production Sharing Agreement (FPSA) to KMG. The contracting companies will receive $1 billion net cash consideration ($325 million being Enis share). In addition the agreement provides for the allocation of an additional 2 million tonnes of liquids per annum capacity for the Karachaganak project in the Caspian Pipeline Consortium export pipeline. The effects of the agreement on profit and loss and reserve and production entitlements will be recognized in the 2012 financial statements.

Indonesia In November 2011, Eni was awarded two operated gas exploration contracts: (i) the Arguni I block (Enis interest 100%) located onshore and offshore in the Bintuni basin near a liquefaction facility; (ii) the North Ganal Block, located offshore Indonesia near the relevant Jangkrik discovery and the Bontang liquefaction terminal, in a consortium with other international oil companies.

Australia In November 2011, Eni acquired a 32.5% stake in the Evans Shoal gas discovery in the Timor Sea with approximately 7 Tcf of volumes of gas in place.

Venezuela In December 2011, Eni and its partner Repsol (50%-50%) signed a Gas Sales Agreement for developing the giant Perla gas discovery, containing over 17 Tcf of gas in place with the Venezuelan national oil company PDVSA. The development plan provides for three phases, targeting production of approximately 9 Tcf until 2036 or 1.2 mmcf/d at peak. The gas produced will be used locally and exported. The investment plan for the first development phase is estimated at $1.4 billion. The national oil company PDVSA is entitled to acquire a 35% interest in the development project by proportionally diluting the interest of each of the international partners.

Angola In December 2011, Eni and the Angolan authorities signed a Production Sharing Contract for the exploration of Block 35, located in a very promising offshore basin. Eni also signed agreements with Sonangol for joint mineral initiatives, the implementation of a pilot project on food and biodiesel and development projects related to non associated gas in Block 15/06, as well as an Intent Protocol for the construction of a refinery.

Belgium In January 2012, Eni completed the acquisition of Nuon Belgium NV and Nuon Power Generation Wallon NV that supply gas and electricity to the industrial and residential segments in Belgium for a cash consideration amounting to euro 214 million.

Full-year 2011 Mozambique A full range of activities is ongoing at the giant gas discovery Mamba South 1 (Eni operator with a 70% interest), located in Area 4 in the offshore Rovuma Basin. The Mamba South 1 discovery well was drilled in two sequential stages. According to field test results, the mineral potential of the area is huge, with up to 22.5 Tcf of gas in place, confirming the Rovuma Basin as a world-class natural gas province. The first exploration well makes it the largest operated discovery in the Companys exploration history. The potential of the Mamba complex has been further consolidated by the Mamba North 1 discovery in the first part of 2012, which encountered an additional mineral potential of 7.5 Tcf. It is estimated that the total volume of gas in place now reaches about 30 Tcf.

Algeria In April 2011, Eni signed a cooperation agreement with Sonatrach to explore for and develop unconventional hydrocarbons, particularly shale gas plays.

China In January 2011, Eni signed a Memorandum of Understanding with CNPC/Petrochina to pursue joint initiatives targeting development of both conventional and unconventional resources in China and outside China.

Ukraine In April 2011, an agreement was signed with Cadogan Petroleum plc for the acquisition of an interest in two exploration and development licenses located in the Dniepr-Donetz basin, in Ukraine.

Australia In May 2011, Eni signed an agreement with MEO Australia to farm-in the Heron and Blackwood gas discoveries in the NT/P-68 permit, located in the Timor Sea. Eni will acquire a 50% stake and operatorship in both gas discoveries by financing exploration activities relating to the drilling of two appraisal wells for Heron, and one appraisal well and seismic surveys for Blackwood. The agreement also provides an option to acquire an additional 25% in both the discoveries by financing the development plan required to reach a Final Investment Decision (FID).

Bio-based chemicals In June 2011, through its subsidiary Polimeri Europa, Eni signed a cooperation agreement with Novamont SpA to convert Enis Porto Torres chemical plant into an innovative bio-based chemical complex to produce bio-plastics and other bio-based petrochemical products (bio-lubricants and bio-additives) for which significant growth is expected in the medium-long term. The project will be supported by an integrated supply chain and raw materials of vegetable origin. Novamont will contribute its technologies and skills in the bio-plastics and bio-based chemical sector. Eni will contribute to the joint entity the Porto Torres plant, infrastructure and professional staff as well as its industry, technical-engineering and commercial know-how in the petrochemical sector. In addition, Eni aims to build a biomass power plant and to carry out a number of projects for the environmental restoration and clean-up activities. Eni plans to make capital expenditure totaling approximately euro 1.2 billion in the 2011-2016 period to execute the above mentioned projects, directly or through the joint entity.

| Exploration activities In 2011, in addition to Mamba, significant
exploratory success was achieved in: | |
| --- | --- |
| (i) | Norway where the Skrugrad
and the Havis oil and gas discoveries in the PL532
license (Eni 30%) found a combined amount of 500 mmbbl of
recoverable resources. Both fields are planned to be put
in production by means of a fast-track synergic
development; |
| (ii) | Angola, where a number of
discoveries were made offshore Block 15/06 (Eni operator
with a 35% interest) (i) with the Mukuvo-1 discovery and
Cinguvu-2 appraisal and Cabaça South East-3 oil wells.
These discoveries will be put into production through the
West (already sanctioned in 2010) and East Hubs projects;
(ii) the Lira gas and condensates discovery. In addition
exploration activity yielded positive results in Block 2
(Eni's interest 20%) within the Gas Project, with the
drilling of the Garoupa-2 and Garoupa Norte 1 appraisal
wells containing gas and condensates; |
| (iii) | Indonesia, with the Jangkrik
North East gas discovery in the offshore Block Muara
Bakau (Eni operator with a 55% interest); |
| (iv) | USA, in the Gulf of Mexico,
with the Hadrian North appraisal well containing oil and
natural gas resources in Block KC919 (Enis interest
25%); |
| (v) | Ghana, with the appraisal
well Sankofa-2 and the Gye Nyame discovery containing gas
and condensates in the offshore Block Cape Three Points
(Eni operator with a 47.22% interest). Possible
development synergies are under evaluation; |
| (vi) | Venezuela, where the Perla 4
and 5 appraisal wells in the Cardon IV Block (Enis
interest 50%) were successfully drilled. Results exceeded
the initial resource estimation bringing it to more than
16,000 bcf. |

| Main production start-ups In line with the Companys production plans,
production was started at the following main fields: | |
| --- | --- |
| (i) | Denise B (Enis
interest 50%), in the Nile Delta in Egypt, which started
to flow at approximately 7 kboe/d and production peaking
at approximately 14 kboe/d net to Eni in 2012; |
| (ii) | Kitan (Eni operator with a
40% interest), located deep offshore between Timor-Leste

Outlook

Eni will host a strategy presentation on March 15, 2012 to outline the Companys targets for the 2012-2015 four-year plan.

Eni expects the 2012 outlook to be a challenging one due to continuing signs of an economic slowdown, particularly in the Euro-zone, and volatile market conditions. International oil prices will be supported by robust demand growth from China and other emerging economies, as well as ongoing geopolitical risks and uncertainties, partly offset by a recovery in the Libyan output. For investment planning purposes and short-term financial projections, Eni assumes a full-year average price of $90 a barrel for the Brent crude benchmark. Recovery perspectives look poor in the gas sector. Gas demand is expected to be soft due to slow economic activity and increasing competition from renewables; in the meantime the marketplace is seen well supplied. Against this backdrop, management expects ongoing margin pressures to continue in 2012, and reduced sales opportunities due to rising competition. Management foresees the persistence of a depressed trading environment in the European refining business. Refining margins are anticipated to remain at unprofitable levels due to high costs of oil supplies, sluggish demand and excess capacity.

| Against this backdrop, key volumes trends
for the year are expected to be the following: | |
| --- | --- |
| - | Production of liquids and
natural gas: production is expected to grow compared
to 2011 (in 2011 hydrocarbons production was reported at
1.58 million boe/d) driven by a progressive recovery in
the Companys Libyan output to achieve the
pre-crisis level, coming fully online by the second half
of 2012. Excluding this important development, management
still sees a growth trajectory in production, boosted by
the continuing ramp-up in Italy and Iraq and new field
start-ups at certain large projects in Algeria and
offshore Angola and the gas joint development in Siberia.
These increases will be partly offset by mature field
declines; |
| - | Worldwide gas sales: management
expects natural gas sales to be roughly in line with 2011
(in 2011, worldwide gas sales were reported at 96.76 bcm
and included sales of both consolidated subsidiaries and
equity-accounted entities, as well as upstream direct
sales in the US and the North Sea). In spite of weak
demand growth in Italy, management is targeting to boost
sales volumes and market share and to retain and develop
its retail customer base; outside Italy the main engines
of growth will be sales expansion in the key markets of
France and Germany/Austria and opportunities in the Far
East. Management intends to leverage on an improved cost
position due to the benefits of contract renegotiations,
integration of recently-acquired assets in core European
markets, development of the commercial offer through a
multi-country platform, and service excellence.
Management is also planning to enhance trading activities
to draw value from existing assets; |
| - | Refining throughputs on
Enis account: management foresees refinery
processed volumes to be in line with 2011 (in 2011
refining throughputs on own account were reported at
31.96 million tonnes) in response to a negative trading
environment. Management is planning to pursue process
optimization measures by improving yields, cycle
integration and flexibility, as well as efficiency gains
by cutting fixed and logistics costs and energy savings
in order to reduce the business exposure to the market
volatility and achieve immediate benefit on the profit
and loss. Enhancement of oil trading activities will help
expand industrial margins; |
| - | Retail sales of refined
products in Italy and the Rest of Europe: management
foresees retail sales volumes to be slightly lower than
in 2011 (in 2011, retail sales volumes in Italy and Rest
of Europe were reported at 11.37 million tonnes). In
Italy where fuel consumption is expected to continue on a
downward trend and a new wave of liberalization promises
to spur competition, management intends to preserve the
Companys market share leveraging marketing
initiatives tailored to customers needs, the
strength of the eni brand targeting to complete the
rebranding of the network, and an excellent service.
Outside Italy, the Company will grow selectively
targeting stable volumes on the whole; |
| - | Engineering &
Construction : the profitability outlook of this
business remains bright due to an established competitive
position and a robust order backlog. |

For the full year 2012, management expects a capital budget almost in line with 2011 (in 2011 capital expenditure amounted to euro 13.44 billion, while expenditures incurred in joint venture initiatives and other investments amounted to euro 0.36 billion). Management plans to continue spending on exploration to appraise the mineral potential of recent discoveries (Mozambique, Norway, Ghana and Indonesia) and investing large amounts on developing growing areas and maintain field plateaus in mature basins. Other investment initiatives will target the upgrading of the gas transport and distribution networks, the completion of the EST project in the refining business, and strengthening selected petrochemicals plants. The ratio of net borrowings to total equity leverage is projected to be roughly in line with the level achieved at the end of 2011 assuming a Brent price of $90 a barrel.

Group results

Net profit attributable to Enis shareholders for the fourth quarter of 2011 was euro 1,320 million, an increase of euro 772 million from the fourth quarter of 2010, or 140.9%. This was driven by a better operating performance (up by 22.9%) due to increased results in the Exploration & Production division and lower extraordinary charges which were down by approximately euro 1 billion compared to previous years quarter. These positives were partly offset by lower results incurred by the downstream businesses. Also the Group net profit was boosted by a gain of euro 1,044 million recorded on the divestment of Enis interests in the international pipelines which transports gas from Northern Europe and Russia. The reported Group tax rate decreased by 7 percentage points reflecting the aforementioned gains on interests which were non-taxable items and the circumstance that in the fourth quarter of 2010 higher non-deductible tax charges were recorded (impairment of goodwill). These positives were partly offset by: (i) a higher share of taxable profit reported by subsidiaries of the Exploration & Production division which bear a rate of taxes higher than the Groups average tax rate; and (ii) the recognition of a large amount of deferred taxes (euro 573 million) due to a changed tax rate applicable to a production sharing agreement, including an adjustment to deferred taxation which was recognized upon allocation of the purchase price as part of a business combination when the mineral interest was acquired by Eni. The Group tax rate was also impacted by higher income taxes (euro 221 million) following enactment of new tax provisions for Italian subsidiaries as per Law No. 148 of September 2011, converting the Law Decree No. 138/2011. This Law increased the Italian windfall tax levied on energy companies (the so-called Robin Tax) by 4 percentage points to 10.5% and enlarged its scope to include gas transport and distribution companies. The increase adds to the ordinary Italian statutory tax rate of 27.5% on corporate profits, bringing the total statutory tax rate to 38%, and a further 3.9% to 4.2% rate provided by an Italian local tax, basically levied on a taxable gross margin given by revenues less raw material and services costs as well as amortization charges.

The full-year net profit was euro 6,891 million, an increase of euro 573 million from 2010, or 9.1%. This increase was driven by an improved operating performance (up euro 1,375 million) and higher gains from investments (approximately euro 1 billion), which were partly offset by increasing net finance charges (down euro 402 million), driven by an increased level of average net financial borrowings, as well as fair value losses which were recognized on certain derivative financial instruments on interest rates lacking the formal criteria to be treated as hedges in accordance with IAS 39. Finally, the Group incurred higher income taxes (down euro 1,537 million) reflecting the approximately 2 percentage point increase in tax rate and the same effects described as in the fourth quarter results.

Adjusted net profit attributable to Enis shareholders amounted to euro 1,540 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, a decrease of euro 162 million from the fourth quarter of 2010, or 9.5%. Full-year adjusted net profit was euro 6,969 million , an increase of euro 100 million from 2010, or 1.5%.

Adjusted net profit for the fourth quarter was calculated by excluding an inventory holding profit of euro 70 million and net special charges of euro 290 million, thus totaling to an increase of euro 220 million. For the full year, an inventory holding profit of euro 724 million and net special charges of euro 802 million were excluded, totaling to an increase of euro 78 million.

Special charges of the operating profit (euro 861 million and euro 1,601 million in the fourth quarter and the full year 2011, respectively) mainly related to impairment losses of euro 725 million in the fourth quarter (euro 1,022 million in the full year), which were recorded to write down the book values of certain tangible and intangible assets to their lower values-in-use in the refining and gas marketing businesses. In performing the impairment review, management assumed a reduced profitability outlook in those businesses driven by a deteriorating macroeconomic environment, volatility of commodity prices, and rising competitive pressures. Other impairment losses regarded a number of oil&gas properties in the Exploration & Production division reflecting a changed pricing environment and downward reserve revisions, as well as a marginal line of business in the Petrochemical segment due to lack of profitability perspectives. Other special charges related to (i) provisions for redundancy incentives (euro 155 million in the quarter; euro 209 million in the full year), including a liability which was taken in connection with the 2010-2011 personnel mobility program in Italy to reflect changed pension requirements; and (ii) environmental provisions amounting to euro 72 million in the quarter (euro 135 million in the full year), as well as certain risk provisions. These charges were partly offset by gains on disposal of assets and a gain on fair value evaluation of certain commodity derivatives which did not meet the formal criteria for hedge accounting provided by IAS 39 (a gain of euro 219 million in the fourth quarter; a loss of euro 15 million in the full year). Special items in net profit included: (i) an impairment loss (euro 157 million) of an interest in a refinery plant in the Eastern Europe reflecting a reduced profitability outlook; (ii) a deferred tax provision of euro 552 million following changes in the tax rate applicable to a production sharing agreement, including an adjustment to the deferred taxation which was recognized as part of a business combination when the mineral interest was acquired by Eni; (iii) gains on the divestment of interests in the international gas transport pipelines (euro 1,044 million).

Results by division The increase in the Group adjusted net profit in the full year reflected a higher adjusted net profit mainly reported by the Exploration & Production and Engineering & Construction divisions. The Gas & Power, Refining & Marketing and Petrochemical divisions reported lower results. The quarterly performance declined as the negative trends outpaced the positive developments.

Exploration & Production The Exploration & Production division reported better adjusted net results (up 6.7% and 22.6% in the fourth quarter and the full year, respectively) driven by an improved operating performance (up euro 172 million, or 4.3%, in the fourth quarter; up euro 2,193 million, or 15.8%, for the full year), on the back of stronger hydrocarbons prices which were up by 21.9% and 30% on average in the fourth quarter and the full year, respectively. This trend has more than offset a reduced operating profit from Enis Libyan activities. However, in the last part of the year the Company made a big progress to put production back online and restart gas exportation, which helped to absorb the impact of force majeure declared during the peak of the Libyan crisis, and terminated on December 20, 2011. Full year results were impacted by the negative effect of the appreciation of the euro against the dollar (up 4.9%; barely unchanged in the fourth quarter).

Engineering & Construction The Engineering & Construction division reported solid results in 2011. Adjusted operating profit increased by 3.2% and 8.8%, to euro 390 million and euro 1,443 million in the fourth quarter and the full year, respectively. These improvements were driven by revenue growth and higher profitability of acquired orders. Adjusted net profit increased by 4.1% and 10.5% in the fourth quarter and the full year, respectively.

Gas & Power The Gas & Power division reported a sharply lower adjusted operating profit, down by euro 392 million in the fourth quarter or 50.5% and by euro 1,173 million for the full year or 37.6%. These decreases were caused by the Marketing business which incurred operating losses in both reporting periods, reversing prior-year profit (a loss of euro 169 million and euro 550 million in the fourth quarter and the full year of 2011, respectively, which compares to a profit of euro 180 million and euro 733 million in the fourth quarter and the full year of 2010, respectively). The marketing performance was negatively impacted by weak demand and mounting competitive pressures fuelled by oversupply which squeezed selling margins and reduced volumes opportunities. The performance was also impacted by the disruption in Libyan gas availability which affected both the supply mix and sales to shippers which import Libyan gas to Italy, as well as by the unfavorable trends in energy parameters, unusual winter weather and a tariff freeze in certain European Countries. Furthermore, the results reflected only a part of the benefits associated with the renegotiations of the supply contracts, certain of which are still pending, delaying the recognition of the associated economic effects. In the fourth quarter of 2011, results of the Regulated businesses in Italy were little changed. On a yearly basis, the negative performance of the Marketing business was partly offset by the better results recorded by International transport activity (up 12%) and Regulated businesses in Italy (up 3.4%). Adjusted net profit of the Gas & Power division amounted to euro 333 million in the fourth quarter (down 48.3% from the fourth quarter of 2010), and euro 1,541 million in 2011 (down 39.8% from the previous year).

Refining & Marketing In the fourth quarter of 2011, the Refining & Marketing division reported sharply lower adjusted operating losses of euro 271 million, down by euro 232 million from the same period of the previous year. This decrease reflected depressed refining margins and poor demand for fuels due to weak underlying fundamentals. Management pursued initiatives intended to boost efficiency and optimize refinery cycles in order to cope with a challenging trading environment. In the full year, the operating loss amounted to euro 535 million, increasing by euro 364 million from 2010. The adjusted net loss (euro 130 million in the quarter, and euro 262 million in the full year, respectively) increased by euro 82 million and euro 213 million, respectively in the quarter and on yearly basis.

Petrochemicals In the fourth quarter of 2011, the Petrochemical division reported deeper operating losses of euro 154 million, down by euro 80 million from the year-ago quarter. For the full year, the operating loss escalated to euro 276 million, down by euro 163 million year-on-year. Those trends were negatively impacted by falling product margins, with the cracker margin severely hit by higher supply costs of oil-based feedstock which were not recovered in sales prices on end markets, and a substantial decrease in demand due to expectations for a reduction in prices of petrochemical commodities. Adjusted net loss grew by euro 86 million to a loss of euro 123 million for the quarter (down by euro 123 million to a loss of euro 208 million in the full year).

The Groups balance sheet as of December 31, 2011 was impacted by a drop in the exchange rate of the euro versus the US dollar, which was down by 3.1% from December 31, 2010 (from 1.336 to 1.294 dollars per euro as of December 31, 2011). This trend increased net capital employed, net equity and net borrowings by euro 1,171 million, euro 1,028 million, and euro 143 million respectively, as a result of exchange rate translation differences. The increase in total equity due to exchange differences together with net profit for the year helped absorb the increased level of net borrowings, reducing the Group leverage to 0.46 compared to the level of 0.47 as of December 31, 2010.

Fixed assets amounted to euro 93,405 million, representing an increase of euro 5,942 million from December 31, 2010, reflecting exchange rate translation differences and capital expenditure incurred in the year (euro 13,438 million), partly offset by depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment charges (euro 9,318 million).

Net working capital amounting to a negative euro 4,090 million increased by euro 973 million. This was due to increasing oil, gas and petroleum products inventories, driven by the impact of rising oil prices on inventories stated at the weighted average cost (up euro 990 million). In addition, a decreased balance of other payables and receivables (up euro 1,575 million) was recorded, mainly related to payments to the Companys gas suppliers due to the take-or-pay position accrued, net of prepaid volumes of gas which were off-taken (euro 324 million) and a higher balance of receivables vs. payables in respect to the Company's joint-venture partners in the Exploration & Production segment. These flows were partly offset by higher tax payables and net provisions for deferred tax liabilities accrued in the quarter (down euro 846 million).

Net assets held for sale including related liabilities (euro 206 million) mainly related to non-strategic assets of the Exploration & Production division.

(4) 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 Enis 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 return on capital employed (ROACE) and the proportion of net borrowings to shareholders equity (leverage) intended to evaluate whether Enis financing structure is sound and well-balanced.

Shareholders equity including non-controlling interests increased by euro 4,722 million to euro 60,450 million, reflecting comprehensive income earned in the period (euro 9,085 million). This comprised the full year net profit (euro 7,834 million) and foreign currency translation differences, and was partly absorbed by dividend payments to Enis shareholders (euro 3,695 million, euro 1,884 million relating to the 2011 interim dividend), and non-controlling interests, mainly Snam and Saipem (euro 571 million).

Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to euro 14,394 million for the full year. Cash outflows relating to capital expenditure totaling euro 13,438 million, expenditures in joint venture initiatives (euro 360 million) and dividend payments amounting to euro 4,327 million were partly financed by cash flow from operating activities and proceeds from asset disposals (euro 1,911 million). As a result of these cash flows, net borrowings as of December 31, 2011 increased by euro 1,913 million compared to December 31, 2010. Proceeds from disposals mainly related to the divestment of the Companys interests in the entities engaged in the international transport of gas from Northern Europe and Russia, a gas distribution activity in Brazil, and non-strategic assets in the Exploration & Production division. Furthermore, cash flow provided by operating activities benefited by higher cash inflow of euro 500 million associated with transferring trade receivables due beyond December 31, 2011 to factoring institutions amounting to euro 1,779 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, while the balance at December 31, 2010 benefited from transferring euro 1,279 million of trade receivables due beyond that date.

(5) Enis 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) change 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.

Eni SpA parent company preliminary accounts for 2011

Enis Board of Directors also reviewed Eni SpAs preliminary results for 2011 prepared in accordance with IFRSs. Net profit for the full year was euro 4,251 million (euro 6,179 million in 2010). The euro 1,928 million decrease was mainly due to: (i) lower dividends received by participated entities, partly offset by lower losses reported by certain controlled entities; (ii) lower operating performance reported by the Gas & Power and Refining & Marketing divisions; (iii) higher finance charges.

Results

In the fourth quarter of 2011 , the Exploration & Production division reported an adjusted operating profit amounting to euro 4,200 million, representing an increase of euro 172 million, or 4.3%, from the fourth quarter of 2010. The positive result was driven by higher oil and gas realizations in dollar terms (oil up 30.9%; natural gas up 5.7%). This positive factor was partly offset by the impact associated with a lowered output in Libya. However, in the last part of the year the Company made a big progress to put production back online and restart gas exportation, which helped absorb the impact of force majeure declared during the peak of the Libyan crisis and terminated on December 20, 2011 (for further details see comment on production below).

Table of Contents

Special charges excluded from adjusted operating profit amounted to euro 31 million in the quarter (euro 190 million in the full year) and mainly related to impairment charges of oil&gas properties, reflecting a reduced outlook for prices and downward reserve revisions, provisions for redundancy incentives, as well as losses on fair value evaluation of certain derivatives embedded in the pricing formulas of long-term gas supply agreements, and gains on disposal of non-strategic assets. Special charges in net profit included an adjustment to deferred taxation of euro 552 million, following changes in tax rate applicable to a production sharing agreement (PSA).

Adjusted net profit for the fourth quarter of 2011 was up by euro 107 million, or 6.7%, to euro 1,694 million due to an improved operating performance.

Adjusted operating profit for 2011 was euro 16,077 million, representing an increase of euro 2,193 million from 2010, up 15.8%, driven by higher oil and gas realizations in dollar terms (oil up 40.3% and natural gas up 7.7%) and by the depreciation of the euro versus the dollar (approximately euro 490 million), partly offset by the impact associated with a lowered Libyan output due to events in 2011.

Adjusted net profit for 2011 increased by euro 1,266 million to euro 6,866 million from 2010 due to an improved operating performance.

Operating review

In the fourth quarter of 2011 , Enis reported liquids and gas production of 1.678 mmboe/d down by 14.1% from the fourth quarter of 2010. This reduction was driven by a lowered flow from Eni activities in Libya, which was affected by the shut down of almost all the company plants and facilities including the GreenStream pipeline throughout the peak of the Countrys internal crisis (approximately 6 months). In the last part of the year the efforts made to restart the GreenStream pipeline and recover production enabled the Company to bring back online an average Libyan output of 160 kboe/d in the quarter, partly offsetting the impact of force majeure (down 250 kboe/day in the quarter). Performance for the quarter was also negatively impacted by lower entitlements in the Companys PSAs due to higher oil prices with an overall effect of approximately 20 kboe/d compared to the previous years quarter. Net of these effects, production for the quarter was in line with the fourth quarter of 2010. Ramp up of fields started in 2010 and quarterly start-ups were partly absorbed by lower-than-anticipated growth in Iraq and planned facility downtime.

Liquids production (896 kbbl/d) decreased by 153 kbbl/d, or 14.6%, due to production losses in Libya, lower entitlements in the Companys PSAs and planned facility downtime in particular in Kazakhstan and the United Kingdom. These negatives were partly offset by start-ups in Australia and Italy.

Natural gas production (4,345 mmcf/d) decreased by 676 mmcf/d (down 13.4%) due to production losses in Libya and decline of mature fields, partly offset by organic growth achieved in Congo, Italy and Egypt.

In 2011 Eni reported liquids and gas production of 1,581 kboe/d, down by 12.9% from 2010, mainly due to a lowered output in Libya. Performance was also negatively impacted by lower entitlements in the Companys PSAs due to higher oil prices with an overall effect of approximately 30 kboe/d from 2010, in addition to the above mentioned loss of Libyan output amounting to an estimated 200 kboe/d. Net of these effects, production for 2011 was in line with 2010. Ramp ups and start-ups were offset by lower-than-anticipated growth in Iraq and planned facility downtime.

Liquids production (845 kbbl/d) decreased by 152 kbbl/d, or 15.2%, due to production losses in Libya and lower entitlements in the Companys PSAs and lower performance in Angola, Nigeria and the United Kingdom, offset by increases registered in Norway, Italy and Australia.

Natural gas production (4,085 mmcf/d) decreased by 455 mmcf/d (down 10.1%) due to production losses in Libya and lower performance in the United States. Organic growth was achieved in Congo, Egypt and Norway.

Liquids realizations for the fourth quarter increased by 30.9% on average in dollar terms (up by 40.3% in 2011), driven by higher oil prices for market benchmarks (the Brent crude price increased by 26.4% in the quarter; 40% in 2011). Enis average liquids realizations decreased by 1.40 $/bbl in the fourth quarter (down by 1.50 $/bbl in 2011) due to the settlement of certain commodity derivatives relating to the sale of 2.2 mmbbl in the quarter (9 mmbbl in the full year). This deal terminated a multi-year derivative transaction the Company entered into in order to hedge exposure to the variability in cash flows on the sale of a portion of the Companys proved reserves for an original amount of approximately 125.7 mmbbl in the 2008-2011 period. Enis average gas realizations increased at a slower pace in the quarter (up 5.7% in the quarter; up 7.7% in the full year), due to time lags in oil-linked pricing formulae and weak spot price in some areas (in particular the USA).

Net additions to proved reserves booked in 2011 were 827 mmboe. Net additions pertaining to discoveries, extensions, improved recovery and revision of previous estimates were partly offset by the unfavorable effect of higher oil prices on reserve entitlements in certain PSAs and service contracts (down 97 mmboe) resulting from higher oil prices from a year ago (the Brent price used in the reserve estimation process was $111 per barrel in 2011 compared to $79 per barrel in 2010). Higher oil prices also resulted in upward revisions associated with improved economics of marginal productions.

Sales of mineral-in-place (9 mmboe) resulted from the divestment of non strategic assets in Nigeria and UK, while acquisitions (2 mmboe) related mainly to the contribution of purchased assets in Italy and Ukraine.

In 2011 Eni achieved an all-sources reserves replacement ratio of 142% with a reserve life index of 12.3 years (10.3 years in 2010). Excluding price effects, the replacement ratio would be 159%. Both indicators were impacted by production losses in Libya.

The Company will provide additional details relating to its 2011 reserves activity in its regular annual filings with Italian market authorities and the US SEC.

Results

In the fourth quarter of 2011 , the Gas & Power division reported sharply lower adjusted operating profit, down euro 392 million, or 50.5%, to euro 385 million, from the fourth quarter of 2010. This was caused by the Marketing business that reported a loss of euro 169 million, reversing a prior-year profit of euro 180 million. The loss of the Marketing business reflected only a part of the benefits associated with the renegotiations of the supply contracts, certain of which are still pending, delaying the recognition of the associated economic effects. In addition, the Marketing business result did not take into account a gain of euro 90 million on certain

Table of Contents

commodity derivatives contracts which might be associated with sales of gas and electricity pertaining to the period (the fourth quarter of 2010 benefited from a gain of euro 13 million which might be associated with future sales). These derivatives did not meet the formal criteria to be designated as hedges under IFRS and treated in accordance with hedge accounting; therefore gains or losses associated with those derivatives cannot be brought forward to the reporting periods when the associated sales occur. However, in assessing the underlying performance of the Marketing business, management calculates the EBITDA pro-forma adjusted, which represents those derivatives as being hedges with associated gains and losses recognized in the reporting period when the relevant sales occur. Management believes that disclosing this measure is helpful in assisting investors to understand these particular business trends (see page 22). The EBITDA pro-forma adjusted also includes Enis share of results of associates and confirms the magnitude of the decline of the business reflecting underlying business trends.

Special charges excluded from operating profit amounted to euro 108 million for the quarter (euro 354 million in 2011) and mainly related to an impairment loss (euro 149 million) recognized on the goodwill allocated to the European Market cash generating unit. In performing the impairment review of this business, management revised downwardly the profitability expectations driven by continuing margin pressure and declining sales opportunities against the backdrop of weak fundamentals. Other special items related to a gain on fair value evaluation of certain commodity derivatives (euro 163 million), which did not meet the formal criteria for hedge accounting, risk provisions (euro 56 million) and provisions for redundancy incentives (euro 32 million).

Adjusted net profit for the fourth quarter of 2011 was euro 333 million, a decrease of euro 311 million from 2010 (down by 48.3%) due to a lower operating performance. Special items in adjusted net profit related mainly to gains on the disposal of interests in international gas transport companies (euro 1,044 million) and in Gas Brasiliano Distribuidora (euro 50 million).

In 2011 , the Gas & Power division reported adjusted operating profit of euro 1,946 million, a sharp decrease of euro 1,173 million from 2010, down 37.6%. The decrease was due to a loss incurred by the Marketing business at euro 550 million, compared to the prior-year profit of euro 733 million. This negative was only partly offset by positive results from the Regulated businesses in Italy and the International Transport. Results of the Marketing business for 2011, as explained in the discussion about the fourth quarter, did not take into account benefits associated with the ongoing renegotiations of certain supply contracts as well as gains on non-hedging commodity derivatives amounting to euro 44 million which might be associated with sales of gas and electricity of the period (just as 2010 did not take account of euro 116 million referred to sales of the period). The EBITDA pro-forma adjusted represents these derivatives as being hedges with associated gains and losses recognized in the reporting period. They are recognized when the relevant sales occur, confirming the magnitude of the decline of the business (down 78.2%) and reflecting underlying business trends. The EBITDA pro-forma adjusted also includes Enis share of results of associates.

Operating review

| Marketing In the fourth quarter of 2011 , the Marketing
business incurred operating losses of euro 169 million,
as compared to operating profit of euro 180 million in
the fourth quarter of 2010. As explained above, the loss
reflected only a part of the benefits associated with the
renegotiations of the supply contracts, certain of which
are still pending, necessarily delaying the recognition
of the associated economic effects. Marketing losses were driven by a recessionary
environment and escalating competitive pressures fuelled
by oversupplies in the marketplace. Those trends
explained the huge contraction reported in selling
margins and heavy volume losses, particularly in Italy
and Benelux. In addition losses were related to: | |
| --- | --- |
| i) | the disruption in the
supplies of Libyan gas, which negatively impacted both
the supply mix, and sales to shippers; |
| ii) | an unfavorable scenario for
energy parameters and exchange rates and unusual weather
conditions; |
| iii) | a tariff freeze in certain
European countries. |
| These negatives were partly
offset by the benefits associated with the renegotiation
of a number of long-term supply contracts and supply
optimization measures. | |

In 2011 , adjusted operating loss was euro 550 million, a decrease of euro 1,283 million from 2010, reversing the prior-years profit of euro 733 million. This was due to the same drivers described above. Performance for the year included a gain of euro 53 million recorded on certain commodity derivatives that the Company entered into to optimize economic margins.

Sales of natural gas for the fourth quarter of 2011 were 25.47 bcm, a decrease of 3.29 bcm from the fourth quarter of 2010, down 11.4%, due to weak demand and growing competitive pressure. In addition there was the effect of force majeure in Libya on off-takes by importers to Italy. Sales included Enis own consumption, Enis share of sales made by equity-accounted entities and upstream sales in Europe and in the Gulf of Mexico. Sales volumes in the Italian market amounted to 9.30 bcm, down 1.25 bcm or 11.8% from the year-ago quarter, due to the loss of volumes in the 2011-2012 sales campaign. This mainly impacted wholesalers (down 0.38 bcm) and the industrial segment (down 0.14 bcm). Gas sales to the power generation business declined (down 0.36 bcm) due to lower demand for electricity and a shift to renewable sources and coal. Sales to residential and commercial users declined (down 0.25 bcm) as well as medium-sized enterprises and services (down 0.10 bcm) due to unusual winter weather and competitive pressures. Sales to importers in Italy declined by 1.30 bcm (down 75.6%) due to the unavailability of Libyan gas. Sales in Europe decreased by 0.90 bcm, down 6.2%, due to a sharp fall in volumes sold in Benelux (down 1.90 bcm), France (down 0.22 bcm) and Hungary (down 0.10 bcm) affected by unusual winter weather and strong competitive pressure. This negative trend was partly offset by growth in Turkey (up 0.59 bcm), Germany/Austria (up 0.39 bcm) and UK/Northern Europe (up 0.16 bcm). Sales on markets outside Europe followed a positive trend (up 0.29 bcm net of changes in the consolidation area) due to positive LNG sales in the Far East, in particular Japan.

In 2011 , sales of natural gas were 96.76 bcm, a small decline of 0.30 bcm, or 0.3%. Sales included Enis own consumption, Enis share of sales made by equity-accounted entities and upstream sales in Europe and in the Gulf of Mexico. Despite a decline in demand of approximately 6%, sales volumes on the Italian market were basically stable, with an increase of 0.39 bcm, or 1.1%, to 34.68 bcm. This trend reflected effective marketing initiatives, with volumes increasing by 0.80 bcm to industrial users and 0.32 bcm and 0.27 bcm to wholesalers and power generation businesses, respectively. Sales to Italian exchange for gas and spot market increased by 0.59 bcm. Lower sale volumes to the residential sector (down 0.72 bcm) were due to the unusual mild winter weather and the impact of competition. Sales to importers in Italy declined by 5.20 bcm (down 61.6%) due to the impact of force majeure in Libya. Sales on target markets in Europe showed a positive trend, increasing by 7.9%, to 49.74 bcm in all markets except for Benelux (down 2.92 bcm) where competitive pressure was strong, thus reducing Enis client base. The main increases were reported in Turkey (up 2.91 bcm), due to the resumption of off-takes from Botas, France (up 0.92 bcm) also due to the integration of Altergaz,

UK/Northern Europe (up 0.88 bcm), Germany/Austria (up 0.80 bcm) and the Iberian Peninsula (up 0.37 bcm). Sales on markets outside Europe increased (up 0.66 bcm, net of changes in the consolidation area) due to higher LNG volumes sold in Argentina and Japan, offset in part by lower sales in Brazil related to the divestment of Gas Brasiliano Distribuidora.

Electricity sales were 11.39 TWh in the fourth quarter of 2011 and 40.28 in the year, increasing by 11.3% and 1.9% in the fourth quarter and the full year, respectively, due to client base growth and higher volumes traded on the Italian power exchange (up 0.60 TWh and up 1.54 TWh in the fourth quarter and for the full year, respectively) despite a sluggish demand in Italy.

Regulated businesses in Italy In the fourth quarter of 2011 , these businesses reported an adjusted operating profit of euro 523 million, in line with the same period of the previous year (down 1.1%). The Transport business results (down euro 40 million, or 11.2%) reflected lower volumes transported. The Distribution business reported improved results (up euro 24 million), driven by a positive impact associated with a new tariff regime set by the Authority for Electricity and Gas intended to cover amortization charges. Also the Storage business reported an increase in adjusted operating profit (up euro 10 million), reflecting slightly higher volumes handled in storage fields.

In 2011 , these businesses reported an adjusted operating profit of euro 2,112 million, up euro 69 million, or 3.4%, mainly due to the improved results achieved by the Distribution (up euro 62 million) and Storage (up euro 32 million) activities partly offset by the decline in Transport activities (down euro 25 million) due to the same factors described above.

Volumes of gas transported in Italy (18.86 bcm in the fourth quarter of 2011 and 78.30 bcm in the full year) decreased, reflecting a drop in domestic gas demand.

In 2011, 7.78 bcm of gas were input to Companys storage deposits (down 0.22 bcm from 2010) while 7.53 bcm were supplied (slightly lower than in 2010). Storage capacity amounted to 15 bcm, of which 5 bcm were destined to strategic storage.

International Transport This business reported an adjusted operating profit of euro 31 million for the fourth quarter of 2011 representing a decrease of euro 37 million from the fourth quarter of 2010, or 54.4%, mainly due to the divestment of Companys interests in the entities engaged in the international transport of gas from Northern Europe and Russia. As compared to the full year 2010, adjusted operating profit increased by euro 41 million due to the circumstance that results of 2010 were affected by the occurred accident at the Swiss line of the import pipeline from Northern Europe.

EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization charges) on an adjusted basis is calculated by adding amortization and depreciation charges to adjusted operating profit, which is also modified to take into account the impact associated with certain derivatives instruments as detailed below. This performance indicator includes the adjusted EBITDA of Enis wholly owned subsidiaries and Enis share of adjusted EBITDA generated by certain associates which are accounted for under the equity method for IFRS purposes. The EBITDA reported by Regulated businesses in Italy is included according to Enis share of equity in the parent company Snam SpA (55.54% as of December 31, 2011, which takes into account the amount of own shares held in treasury by the subsidiary itself) due to its listed company status. In order to calculate the EBITDA pro-forma adjusted, the adjusted operating profit of the Marketing business has been modified to take into account the impact of the settlement of certain commodity and exchange rate derivatives that do not meet the formal criteria to be classified as hedges under the IFRS. These are entered into by the Company in view of certain amounts of gas and electricity that the Company expects to supply at fixed prices during future periods. The impact of those derivatives has been allocated to the EBITDA pro-forma adjusted relating to the reporting periods during which those supplies at fixed prices are recognized. Management believes that the EBITDA pro-forma adjusted is an important alternative measure to assess the performance of Enis Gas & Power division, taking into account evidence that this division is comparable to European utilities in the gas and power generation sector. This measure is provided in order to assist investors and financial analysts in assessing the divisional performance of Eni Gas & Power, as compared to its European peers, as EBITDA is widely used as the main performance indicator for utilities. The EBITDA pro-forma adjusted is a non-GAAP measure under IFRS.

Results

In the fourth quarter of 2011 , the Refining & Marketing division reported deeper adjusted operating loss of euro 271 million, down by euro 232 million from the year-earlier period. The division suffered from unprofitable refining margins due to rising costs for oil-based feedstock and energy utilities that could not be transferred to prices at the pump, also due to weak demand and excess capacity in the Mediterranean basin. In addition, Enis complex refineries were hit by shrinking price differentials between light and heavy crudes which reduced the conversion premium. These negatives were offset in part by efficiency enhancement measures, the optimization of supply activities and lower throughputs at the weakest refineries.

The Marketing results albeit positive, declined due to lower retail and wholesale demand for gasoline and gasoil, and other products destined to industries affected by a negative scenario, and competitive pressures.

Special charges excluded from adjusted operating loss amounted to euro 545 million and euro 645 million in the fourth quarter 2011 and the full year 2011 respectively, and mainly related to impairment losses of refining plants due to management's medium term forecast that point to continuing weak fundamentals and unprofitable margins resulting in the projection of lower future cash

flows. These considerations also led to the full impairment of an interest in a refining project in Eastern Europe reported as special charge of net profit. Other special charges for the period related to the impairment of a distribution network in Europe, provisions for redundancy incentives and environmental charges.

Adjusted net loss in the fourth quarter of 2011 amounted to euro 130 million, down euro 82 million from the fourth quarter 2010. This decline reflected deeper operating losses and lower profits reported by equity-accounted entities.

In 2011 , the Refining & Marketing division reported adjusted operating losses of euro 535 million, decreasing from 2010 (down euro 364 million), driven by sharply lower refining margins and the other negatives described above. Marketing activities also reported negative results due to weaker fuel demand and lowering margins recorded in both retail and wholesale segments.

Adjusted net loss in 2011 amounted to euro 262 million, further decreasing from 2010 (down euro 213 million) driven by the weakening operating performance.

Operating review

Enis refining throughputs for the fourth quarter of 2011 were 7.73 mmtonnes (31.96 mmtonnes in the full year), down 13.9% from the fourth quarter of 2010 (down 8.2% for the full year). In Italy, processed volumes for the fourth quarter decreased by 15.8% (down by 8.7% in the full year), reflecting the decision to cut throughputs at the Venice plant in response to an unfavorable market scenario and planned and unplanned facility downtime. Outside Italy, Enis refining throughputs decreased by 3% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2010 (down 5.3% for the full year), mainly in the Czech Republic as a consequence of the relevant planned downtime at the Litvinov refinery. Retail sales in Italy of 2.05 mmtonnes in the fourth quarter of 2011 (8.36 mmtonnes for the full year) decreased by approximately 120 ktonnes, down 5.5% (down 3.1% for the full year), driven by lower consumption of gasoil and gasoline. The premium segment was basically in line in the quarter, due to the support of promotional campaigns. It was down year-of-year. Enis retail market share for the fourth quarter was 30.4%, unchanged from the fourth quarter 2010. Enis market share for 2011 averaged 30.5%, up 0.1 percentage points from 2010. Wholesale volumes in Italy (2.48 mmtonnes in the fourth quarter and 9.36 mmtonnes in the full year) declined by approximately 100 ktonnes, down 3.9% (down 1% in 2011), mainly due to a decline in demand from transports and industrial customers due to a generalized slowdown which affected in particular bunkering and bitumen, but also LPG due to unusual weather conditions. Jet fuel and fuel oil sales increased, while gasoil sales dropped starkly in 2011. The average market share in 2011 was 28.3% (29.2% in 2010). Retail sales in the rest of Europe of approximately 750 ktonnes in the fourth quarter of 2011 (3.01 mmtonnes in the full year) were in line with the fourth quarter of 2010 (down 2.9% in the full year). Volume additions in Austria, reflecting the purchase of service stations in 2010, were offset by lower sales in Germany due to certain lease contract terminations and in France and in Eastern Europe due to declining demand. Wholesale volumes in the rest of Europe of approximately 980 ktonnes (3.84 mmtonnes for the full year) declined by 1% in both reporting periods mainly in Hungary, Germany and the Czech Republic, while sales increased in Switzerland and France, and in Austria considering the full year.

Non-GAAP measures

Reconciliation of reported operating profit and reported net profit to results on an adjusted basis Management evaluates Group and business performance on the basis of adjusted operating profit and adjusted net profit, which are arrived at by excluding inventory holding gains or losses and special items. Furthermore, finance charges on finance debt, interest income, gains or losses deriving from the evaluation of certain derivative financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss (as they do not meet the formal criteria to be assessed as hedges under IFRS, excluding commodity derivatives), and exchange rate differences are all excluded when determining adjusted net profit of each business segment. 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. The Italian statutory tax rate is applied to finance charges and income (38% is applied to charges recorded by companies in the energy sector, whilst a tax rate of 27.5% is applied to all other companies). Adjusted operating profit and adjusted net profit are non-GAAP financial measures under either IFRS, or U.S. GAAP. Management includes them in order to facilitate a comparison of base business performance across periods, and to allow financial analysts to evaluate Enis trading performance on the basis of their forecasting models. In addition, management uses segmental adjusted net profit when calculating return on average capital employed (ROACE) by each business segment.

The following is a description of items that are excluded from the calculation of adjusted results.

Inventory holding gain or loss 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.

Special items 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; or (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. 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 managements discussion and financial tables. Also, special items include gains and losses on re-measurement at fair value of certain non-hedging commodity derivatives, including the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges and certain derivatives financial instruments embedded in the pricing formula of long-term gas supply agreements of the Exploration & Production division.

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. In addition, gains or losses on the fair value evaluation of the aforementioned derivative financial instruments, excluding commodity derivatives and exchange rate differences are excluded from the adjusted net profit of business segments. 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 division). Finance charges or interest income and related taxation effects excluded from the adjusted net profit of the business segments are allocated on the aggregate Corporate and financial companies.

For a reconciliation of adjusted operating profit and adjusted net profit to reported operating profit and reported net profit see tables below.

Leverage and net borrowings

Leverage is a measure used by management to assess the Companys 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 financial debt to shareholders equity, including minority 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 a benchmarking analysis with industry standards.

ROACE (Return On Average Capital Employed)

Return on Average Capital Employed for the Group, on an adjusted basis is the return on the Group average capital invested, calculated as ratio of net adjusted profit before minority interests, plus net finance charges on net borrowings net of the related tax effect, to net average capital employed. The tax rate applied on finance charges is the Italian statutory tax rate of 38%. The capital invested, as of the period end, used for the calculation of net average capital invested is obtained by deducting inventory gains or losses in the period, net of the related tax effect. ROACE by division is determined as a ratio of adjusted net profit to net average capital invested pertaining to each division and rectifying the net capital invested as of period-end, from net inventory gains or losses (after applying the division specific tax rate).
