SAIPEM FIRST HALF 2020 RESULTS PRESENTATION
29 JULY 2020

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Forward-looking statements contained in this presentation regrading future events and future results are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about the industries in which Saipem S.p.A. (the "Company") operates, as well as the beliefs and assumptions of the Company's management.
These forward-looking statements are only predictions and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors beyond the Company' control that are difficult to predict because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. These include, but are not limited to: forex and interest rate fluctuations, commodity price volatility, credit and liquidity risks, HSE risks, the levels of capital expenditure in the oil and gas industry and other sectors, political instability in areas where the Group operates, actions by competitors, success of commercial transactions, risks associated with the execution of projects (including ongoing investment projects), the recent Coronavirus outbreak (including its impact across our business, worldwide operations and supply chain); in addition to changes in stakeholders' expectations and other changes affecting business conditions.
Therefore, the Company's actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees of future performance. The Company therefore caution against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, economic conditions globally, the impact of competition, political and economic developments in the countries in which the Company operates, and regulatory developments in Italy and internationally. Any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company speak only as of the date they are made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect any changes in the Company's expectations with regard thereto or any changes in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements due to the inherent uncertainty therein.
The Financial Reports contain analyses of some of the aforementioned risks.
Forward-looking statements neither represent nor can be considered as estimates for legal, accounting, fiscal or investment purposes. Forward-looking statements are not intended to provide assurances and/or solicit investment.

THROUGH CYCLE FLEET MANAGEMENT
| ONGOING OPERATIONS |
Prolonged crew shifts secured execution ▪ Strict protocols and health monitoring minimized risk of infection onboard the fleet ▪ ▪ Deepwater activity postponement with no disruption to backlog ▪ SC8 semisub engagement initially cancelled, now renegotiated ▪ Contract cancellation for PN8 jackup from 2021 ▪ TAD fully devaluated |
|---|---|
| KEY EFFICIENCY ACTIONS |
▪ Asset management: • Scrap (green recycle) of two jackups PN2, PN5 (to be replaced by leased-PN9) and of one semisub SC7 • Smart stacking for rigs with reduced operations • Lease rate reduced for rented vessels Personnel on board (POB) rightsizing, maintenance plan and inventory optimisation ▪ ▪ Supply chain: revisiting commercial conditions ▪ Structural cost optimisation (e.g. local offices and logistic bases) |
| STRATEGIC PRIORITIES |
▪ Opportunistic approach and flexibility to consider external growth (e.g. financially distressed assets) |
