Eni Interim Consolidated Report/ Highlights

 

Highlights  

 

·Adjusted results: in the first half of 2018 Eni consolidated adjusted operating profit of €4.94 billion increased by 73% vs. the first half of 2017 driven by sharply higher crude oil prices (the Brent benchmark up by 36% in dollar terms; up by 22% in euro terms), production growth and recovery in profitability of the Gas & Power segment reflecting the restructuring of long-term gas contracts, strong results in the LNG business, optimizations in the power activity as well as reduction in logistic costs. Despite a weaker trading environment caused by rapidly-escalating oil-based costs, the R&M and Chemicals segment managed to stay positive leveraging on the continuous efficiency initiatives and cost optimizations.

 

Adjusted net profit: €1.74 billion, up by 45% from the first half of 2017.

 

Net profit: €2.20 billion, more than doubled from the first half of 2017 (+€1.21 billion).

 

·Cash flow: strong cash flow from operations of €5.22 billion, up by 13% vs. the first half of 2017.

 

·Net capex: €3.69 billion1; more than funded by organic cash flow.

 

·Net borrowings: €9.9 billion.

 

·Leverage: 0.20, lower than the level of December 31, 2017 (0.23).

 

·2018 interim dividend proposal: in light of the financial results achieved in the first half of 2018 and the Company’s progress on the industrial plan targets, the interim dividend proposal to the Board of Directors will amount to €0.42 per share2, out of a full-year dividend of €0.83 per share.

 

·Strong growth reported in hydrocarbon production at 1.865 million boe/d, up by 4.6% from the first half of 2017. Net of price effects in PSAs, the growth rate was 5.4%. Production growth fueled by the ramp-up of giant projects, recently started up: Zohr, Noroos, Jangkrik, OCTP, Ochigufu, Nenè phase 2; higher production at the Kashagan and Val d’Agri fields (the latter shutdown in the second quarter of 2017) and the entry in Abu Dhabi.

 

·Strengthened Eni presence in Norway following the agreement to merge the subsidiary Eni Norge with Point Resources. The combined entity will be a leading Norwegian upstream company producing around 180 kboe/d in 2018. Closing is expected by the end of 2018.

 

·Dual exploration model: finalized the divestment to Mubadala Petroleum of a 10% stake in the Shorouk concession in offshore Egypt, where the super-giant Zohr gas field is producing.

 

·Main start-ups: Ochigufu offshore Block 15/06 in Angola, rising the production plateau at 150 kboe/d; phase 2 of the giant Bahr Essalam gas field in Libya, just three years after the final investment decision.

 

·Zohr ramp-up in Egypt: the fourth treatment unit started up in record time increasing installed capacity to approximately 1.6 bscfd (220 kboe/d). Expected in September the start-up of the fifth treatment unit, for a total capacity of approximately 2 bscfd.

 

·Exploration:

 

Oil exploration successes at the Block 15/06 in Angola, as well as at two exploration prospects located in the Faghur basin, in the South West Meleiha license in Egypt.

 

 

1 Net of the entry bonus relating to the acquisition of two Concession Agreements in the UAE, the development capex incurred in 2018 on a 10% interest in the Zohr project which were reimbursed by the acquirer of the interest and the collection of trade advances intended to fund the Zohr project.

2 Dividends are not entitled to tax credit and, depending on the receiver, are subject to a withholding tax on distribution or are partially cumulated to the receivers' taxable income.

Liquids kbbl/d 883 830 53 6.4
Natural gas mmcf/d 5,359 5,203 156 3.4

Natural gas $/kcf 4.51 3.53 0.98 28.0
Hydrocarbons $/boe 45.02 32.73 12.29 37.5

 

In the first half of 2018, oil and natural gas production averaged 1,865 kboe/d, up by 4.6% from the first half of 2017. This performance was driven by the ramp-up at fields started up in 2017, mainly in Indonesia, Egypt, Congo and Ghana and the 2018 start-ups (with a total contribution of 263 kboe/d), as well as higher production at the Kashagan and Val d’Agri fields (the latter shutdown in the second quarter of 2017) and the acquisition of the two concession agreements Lower Zakum (5%) and Umm Shaif/Nasr (10%) producing offshore in the United Arab Emirates. These positives were partly offset by negative price effects at PSAs contracts, lower production as a result of planned and unplanned shutdowns in Libya, the United Kingdom and Norway, as well as declines from mature fields. When excluding price effects at PSAs contracts (approximately 14 kboe/d), hydrocarbons production increased by 5.4%.

 

Liquids production (883 kbbl/d) increased by 53 kbbl/d, or 6.4% from the first half of 2017. Production ramp-ups of the period and the acquisition in the United Arab Emirates were partially offset by price effect and mature fields decline.

 

Natural gas production (5,359 mmcf/d) increased by 156 mmcf/d, or 3.4% compared to the first half of the previous year. Start-ups and ramp-ups of producing assets were partly offset by planned and unplanned shutdowns.

 

Oil and gas production sold amounted to 315.5 mmboe. The 22 mmboe difference over production (337.5 mmboe) mainly reflected volumes of natural gas consumed in operations (18.8 mmboe), changes in inventory levels and other variations.

 

Mineral right portfolio and exploration activities

In the first half of 2018, Eni performed its operations in 47 countries. As of June 30, 2018, Eni’s mineral right portfolio consisted of 751 exclusive or shared rights for exploration and development activities for a total acreage of 422,696 square kilometers net to Eni (414,918 square kilometers net to Eni as of December 31, 2017). In the first half of 2018, changes in total net acreage mainly derived from: (i) new leases mainly in Lebanon, Mexico, Morocco and Norway for a total acreage of approximately 22,000 square kilometers; (ii) the relinquishment of licenses mainly in Australia, China, Egypt, Indonesia and Norway for a total acreage of approximately 14,400 square kilometers; (iii) net acreage increase also due to changes in share mainly in Angola, Cyprus, Egypt, Indonesia, Ireland, Nigeria and the United States for a total acreage of 200 square kilometers.

In the first half of 2018, a total of 10 new exploratory wells were drilled (6.8 of which represented Eni’s share), as compared to 7 exploratory wells drilled in the first half of 2017 (4.7 of which represented Eni’s share).

Eni Interim Consolidated Report / Operating review

 

Eni Norge AS and Point Resources AS merger agreement

As part of Eni strategy to reinforce the presence in OECD countries with further upstream potential, such as Norway, a merger agreement was signed involving Eni’s subsidiary Eni Norge AS and the local company Point Resources AS. The combined entity will be renamed Vår Energi AS. The closing of the deal is expected by the end of 2018, once all necessary authorizations have been granted by Authorities. Eni Norge plans to issue new shares to Point Resources shareholders who are planning to contribute Point Resources assets to the merging company. The exchange rate of shares has been fixated so that Eni and the Point Reources shareholders will retain participation interests of 69.6% and 30.4% respectively, in the combined entity. The governance of the new entity is designed to establish joint control of the two shareholders over the combined entity. Therefore, effective at the closing, Eni will derecognize the assets and liabilities of Eni Norge and recognize the fair value of the interest retained in the merged company that will be equity-accounted going forward. Pending the closing of the transaction, because management is pursuing a plan under which the controlling interest in Eni Norge will be exchanged for a non-controlling interest, Eni Norge is classified as asset held for sale as per IFRS 5 and its measurement criteria are modified accordingly.

The combined entity will be a leading Norwegian Exploration & Production company, built on the existing organizations and leveraging on complementary strengths.

The portfolio of the combined company will have a wide geographical coverage, from the Barents Sea to the North Sea, producing around 180 kboe/d this year from a portfolio of 17 producing oil and gas fields. The company will have reserves and resources of more than 1,250 mmboe.

Production is expected to reach 250 kboe/d by 2023 after developing more than 500 mmboe in ten existing assets, with a breakeven price of less than 30 $/bbl. In total, the company plans to invest more than $8 billion over the next five years to bring these projects on stream, revitalize older fields and explore for new resources. The extended presence in the Norwegian waters will allow the company also to expand further its portfolio through both future exploration bid rounds and M&A transactions.

The deal will improve immediately the Group key performance indicators (reserves, free cash flow and cash neutrality), while production is expected to decline slightly in the short term (2019-2020) and then to resume growing.

Finally, Eni will retain a first offer right in case the Norwegian private equity funds decide to divest their interest in the venture.

Gas & Power

 

Supply of natural gas

 

In the first half of 2018, Eni’s consolidated subsidiaries supplied 38.80 bcm of natural gas, with a decrease of 1.20 bcm or 3% from the first half of 2017.

Gas volumes supplied outside Italy from consolidated subsidiaries (35.96 bcm), imported in Italy or sold outside Italy, represented approximately 93% of total supplies, with a decrease of 1.52 bcm or down by 4.1% from the first half of 2017 mainly reflecting lower volumes purchased in Algeria (down by 1.01 bcm), Libya (down by 0.58 bcm) and Russia (down by 0.57 bcm) partially offset by higher purchases in Indonesia also due to higher gas availability from the upstream production. Supplies in Italy (2.84 bcm) increased by 12.7% from the first half of 2017 due to higher equity production.

In the first half of 2018, natural gas sales were 40.52 bcm, down by 3.3% from the first half of 2017. Sales in Italy were up by 5.4% to 20.96 bcm, due to higher sales marketed to wholesalers, thermoelectric segment and hub, partly offset by lower sales to the residential segment and small and medium-sized enterprises. Sales in European markets (14.04 bcm) decreased by 21.3% reflecting the termination of some long-term and short-term contracts mainly in Germany/Austria, as a result of portfolio rationalization.

Refining & Marketing

 

In the first half of 2018, Eni’s Standard Refining Margin – SERM – was 3.5 $/barrel, down by 24.8% from the first half of 2017 (4.7 $/barrel), due to lower relative prices of products compared to the cost of the petroleum feedstock reflecting the strong increase of oil prices.

 

Eni refining throughputs were 11.79 mmtonnes, up by 3% from the first half of 2017, due to higher volumes processed throughout refineries of Sannazzaro and Taranto, mainly due to the downtime of some plants in 2017 and outside Italy, partially offset by lower volumes at the Milazzo and Livorno refineries. Improved by 6 percentage points the average plant utilization rate (92%).

 

Volumes of biofuels produced at the Venice Green refinery increased mainly due to a planned standstill occurred in the first quarter of 2017.

Eni Interim Consolidated Report / Operating review

 

Retail sales in Italy of 2.88 mmtonnes fell by 2.7%, in a declining consumptions environment, reflecting lower volumes sold at the highway segment and leased stations. Eni’s retail market share was 24.1%, almost unchanged from the first half of 2017 (24.2%).

 

As of June 30, 2018, Eni’s retail network in Italy consisted of 4,261 service stations, recording a decrease from December 31, 2017 (4,310 service stations), resulting from the negative balance of acquisitions/releases of lease concessions (38 units) and the closing of 11 low throughput service stations.

 

Average throughput (771 kliters) slightly decrease by 6 kliters from the first half of 2017 (777 kliters).

 

Wholesale sales in Italy were 3.57 mmtonnes, decreased by 2.5% from the first half of 2017 as a result of lower sales volumes of gasoil, partially offset by higher sales of jet fuel.

 

Supplies of feedstock to the petrochemical industry (0.49 mmtonnes) increased by 23.5%.

 

Retail and wholesale sales in the rest of Europe unchanged from the previous year; higher sales volumes in Spain and Germany partly offset by lower sales in France, Switzerland and Austria.

 

Other sales in Italy and outside Italy (6.20 mmtonnes) were substantially in line with the first half of 2017.

Petrochemical production of 4,884 ktonnes increased by 256 ktonnes (up by 5.5%). The main increases in production were registered at the Priolo site (up by 11%) reflecting the standstill occurred in 2017, Mantova (up by 4%) mainly due to higher production of phenol and derivatives and Porto Marghera (up by 7%) thanks to cracking plant optimization, as well as, outside Italy, the increasing productions in Hungary (up by 12%) and UK (up by 5%) were due to fewer unplanned standstills.

 

Petrochemical sales of 2,540 ktonnes increased by 7% mainly due to higher sales of intermediates, styrene and elastomers thanks to higher product availability compared to the first half 2017.

Sales of intermediates increased by 13% due to lower internal consumption of polyethylene and to higher product availabilty following plant optimization at Porto Marghera. Phenol and derivatives produced at Mantova plant reported an increase (up by 8%) following higher sales in the polycarbonate business. Styrenics sales slightly increased (up by 2%) from the first half of 2017 driven by higher demand in monomer styrene, which have more than offset the negative trend reported in the styrenics polymers market. Sales of polyethylene decreased by 6% due to the higher supply of products reported in the European markets compared to 2017.

 

Average unit sales prices were 5% lower compared with the first half of 2017, despite a strong increase of feedstock cost reported in the second quarter of 2018.

 

Notwithstanding the increase in price of ethylene and propylene (basic products for integrated cycle) reflecting the recovery in virgin naphtha, weaker polyethylene market and shrinking in historical values of butadiene and benzene more than offset these increases.

Reported results

 

In the first half of 2018, net profit attributable to Eni’s shareholders was €2,198 million, more than doubled compared to the first half of 2017 (€983 million). This performance was driven by a robust operating performance of the E&P segment due to strengthening crude oil prices (up by 36% on average from the first half of 2017 for the Brent crude oil benchmark), on the back of a global economic recovery, and production growth. These positives were partly offset by a weaker USD (the EUR/USD exchange rate appreciated by 12% on average). The G&P segment reported a significant improvement driven by further actions at long-term supply contracts, the reduction in logistic costs and an improved performance in the power and LNG businesses, the latter also combining with the upstream segment and able to capture price peaks in the Asian market during the first part of the year.

The R&M and Chemicals segment was weighted down by an unfavourable trading environment due to increased oil-based feedstock costs, which were not reflected in selling prices and the competitive pressure from cheaper products streams coming from the Middle East and the USA. This negative trend which accelerated in the second quarter caused sharply lower refining margins (down by 25% from the first half of 2017) and spreads vs. the feedstock of the main petrochemicals commodities (cracker margin down by 44% and polyethylene margin down by 52%). These negatives were partly offset by plant optimizations and lower plant shutdowns, allowing a recovery in produced volumes, as well as by efficiency actions.

The improved operating performance (up by €2,364 million) and the increase in finance income and net income from investments (up by €191 million) driven by an impairment reversal of the Angola LNG entity were partially offset by the write-off of a financing receivable related to an unsuccessful exploration initiative executed by a joint venture in the Black Sea. Net profit was negatively impacted by higher income taxes (up by €1,335 million), notwithstanding a 3 percentage points decrease in the group reported tax rate (54.9%) due to higher non-taxable gains.

In the first half of 2018, Eni’s consolidated adjusted operating profit was €4,944 million, up by 73% from the first half of 2017. The improvement was driven by a robust performance in the E&P segment (the adjusted operating profit was €4,827 million, more than doubled compared to the first half of 2017) due to sharply higher crude oil prices (the Brent benchmark in dollar terms was up by 36%) and production growth, partly offset by a weaker dollar (the EUR/USD exchange rate was up by 12%). The G&P segment reported an adjusted operating profit of €430 million, more than doubled compared to the first half of 2017. This result reflected further actions concerning long-term supply contracts, a reduction in logistic costs and an improved performance in the power and LNG businesses. The R&M and Chemicals segment reported a decrease of 73% in the operating performance due to an unfavourable trading environment, partly offset by continued efficiency initiatives, plant optimizations and better utilization rates.

 

The €2.1 billion increase was comprised of a €1.4 billion increase from scenario effects and a €0.7 billion increase from production growth and efficiency and optimization gains.

 

Adjusted net profit was €1,745 million, up by 45% from the first half of 2017. The operating performance was partially offset by lower income from investments and an increased tax rate (60.7%, up by approximately 5 percentage points) driven by the E&P segment due to a higher share of taxable profit reported in countries with higher taxation and non-deductible expenses related to an unsuccessful exploration initiative.

 

Special items

 

The breakdown by segment of special items of operating profit (a net charge of €260 million) is the following:

·The E&P segment recorded net charges of €259 million mainly due to the outcome of an arbitration proceeding relating a long-term contract to purchase regasification services, which established the termination of the contract and of the related annual fees charged to Eni. It also awarded the counterpart equitable compensation of €282 million (plus financial interests of €18 million), an impairment loss for a gas asset to align its book values to fair value (€58 million), a risk provision relating to a contractual litigation (€45 million); an allowance for doubtful accounts as part of a dispute to recover investments towards a State counterparty to align the recoverable amount with the expected outcome of an ongoing renegotiation. The main gains were recorded on the disposal of a 10% interest in the Shorouk concession, offshore of Egypt, to Mubadala Petroleum, a UAE-based company (€323 million net of assignment bonus and other charges).

 

17 

 

 

Eni Interim Consolidated Report / Financial review and other information

 

·The G&P segment reported net gains of €125 million mainly driven by the effects of fair-value commodity derivatives that lacked the formal criteria to be accounted as hedges under IFRS (net gain of €170 million) and an impairment relating to the alignment of the book value of the Hungarian gas distribution activity to its fair value, divested in June 2018 (€6 million). The G&P adjusted operating result also includes the positive balance of €37 million related to derivative financial instruments used to manage margin exposure to foreign currency exchange rate movements and exchange translation differences of commercial payables and receivables.
·The R&M and Chemicals segment reported net charges of €107 million mainly comprising of: the write down of capital expenditure relating to certain Cash Generating Units in the R&M business, which were impaired in previous reporting periods and continued to lack any profitability prospects (€35 million) and environmental provision (€79 million)

 

Non-operating special items included the tax effects relating to operating special items, Eni’s interest of extraordinary charges/impairment recognized by the Saipem subsidiary (€102 million) as well as an impairment reversal (€423 million) at the Angola LNG equity-accounted entity due to improved project economics.

Net finance expense (€621 million) increased by €136 million from the first half of 2017. The main drivers were: (i) a negative change amounting to €57 million in exchange rate differences (up by €750 million) and exchange rate derivatives (down by €807 million), with the latter being recognized through profit because such derivatives did not meet the formal criteria to be designed as hedges under IFRS. This trend is due to the sudden appreciation of the US dollar in the last part of the first half of the year; and (ii) an increase of other finance expense due to the write-off of a financing receivable related to an unsuccessful exploration initiative executed by a joint venture in the Black Sea (€220 million)

The corporate and other activities segment reported a loss on the 31% interest in Saipem, accounted for with the equity method (€100 million). This loss was due to impairment losses driven by the structural weakness of the offshore drilling business and other drivers;

-      net losses on disposal (€6 million) related to the divestment of the Hungarian gas distribution activity in the G&P segment;

-      dividends of €79 million were received by non-controlling interests measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and mainly related to Nigeria LNG (€54 million) and Saudi European Petrochemical Co. (€21 million).

Income taxes

 

Income taxes of €2,686 million reported a two-fold increase compared to the first half of 2017 due to a higher profit before income taxes (up by €2,555 million from the first half of 2017). The tax rate was 54.9% lower than the value of 57.8% reported in the first half of 2017 due to higher non-taxable gains. The adjusted tax rate was 60.7%, up by approximately 5 percentage points, driven by the E&P segment due to a higher share of taxable profit reported in countries with higher taxation and non-deductible expenses related to an unsuccessful exploration initiative.

As of June 30, 2018, fixed assets decreased by €3,082 million to €68,333 million mainly due to reclassification of Eni Norge assets as held for sale following the merger agreement signed in July with the shareholders of Point Resources. The increase of capital expenditure for the period (€4,502 million) and positive currency movements (€1,351 million) were partly offset by DD&A (€3,708 million). The increase in “Equity-accounted investments and other investments” was €1,125 million due to a new accounting of equity instruments required by IFRS 9 and impairment reversal of the Angola LNG entity.

 

Net working capital was in negative territory at minus €8,834 million and increased by €2,800 million from 2017 mainly as a result of a decrease in risk provisions due to the reclassification of Eni Norge decommissioning provisions in the disposal group held for sale, as well as an estimate revision to the decommissioning provision due to higher discount rates.

 

Assets held for sale including related liabilities (€1,933 million) are mainly related to: (i) the Eni Norge AS company following the management plans of a business combination with the company Point Resources AS. Following the closing of the deal (expected at the end of the year), Eni will lose the control on the company. The new subsidiary will be jointly controlled by the two shareholders; (ii) the Trinidad and Tobago Ltd company participating a gas project; and (iii) the Eni Croatia BV company with interests in the upstream gas projects in Croatia.

Eni Interim Consolidated Report / Financial review and other information

 

Shareholders’ equity including non-controlling interest was €50,471 million, up by €2,392 million. This was due to net profit for the period and positive foreign currency translation differences (€1,194 million) reflecting the appreciation of dollar compared to the euro (up by 3%; EUR/USD exchange rate of 1.165 at June 30, 2018 compared to 1.2 at December 31, 2017), partly offset by the payment of the 2017 final dividend (€1,443 million).

 

Net borrowings1 at June 30, 2018 was €9,897 million, lower than 2017 (down by €1,019 million).

 

As of June 30, 2018, the ratio of net borrowings to shareholders’ equity including non-controlling interest – leverage2 – was 0.20, down from 0.23 as of December 31, 2017.

(b) The item included investments and divestments (on net basis) in held-for-trading financial assets and other investments/divestments in certain short-term financial assets. Due to their nature and the circumstance that they are very liquid, these financial assets are netted against finance debt in determing net borrowings. Cash flows of such investments were as follows:

Net cash flow from operating activities amounted to €5,220 million in the first half 2018. Cash flow from operating activities was also influenced by a lower level of receivables due beyond the end of the reporting period being sold to financing institutions, compared to the amount sold at the end of the fourth quarter 2017 (approximately €700 million).

 

Net cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital at replacement cost was €5,542 million, up by 14% compared to the first half of 2017 (€4,881 million). This performance was negatively affected by an expense recognized in connection with the final outcome of an arbitration proceeding (€300 million), an extraordinary allowance for doubtful accounts in the E&P segment (€69 million) and charges related to the sale of 10% interest in Zohr, to be substantially considered as a reduction of the

proceeds from the asset disposal. Net of these charges, cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital at replacement cost amounts to €5,989 million.

 

Capital expenditure for the period, including investments, was €4,633 million. Net capex amounted to approximately €3.69 billion and excluding the following items: an entry bonus paid in connection with the award of the two Concession Agreements in the UAE (€723 million); the share of the 2018 capex pertaining to a 10% divested interest in the Zohr project (€159 million), which were reimbursed to Eni by the buyer at the transaction date (end of June). Also the Company collected €50 million as an advance on future gas supplies to Egyptian state-owned partners which were intended to finance the capex of Zohr. The self-financing ratio of net capex was 141%.

 

Cash flow from disposals (€1,261 million) mainly related to the sale of the 10% interest in the Zohr project, non-strategic assets in the E&P segment, as well as gas distribution activities in Hungary. Other cash flow related to capital expenditure, investments and disposals (€693 million) included the collection of the deferred tranches of the consideration on the sale of 10% and 30% interests in the Zohr project finalized in 2017 (€439 million) and increased payables related to capital expenditure following the progress in the development of Zohr. Cash flow from operations in excess of these outflows and the payment of the 2017 final dividend to Eni’s shareholders (€1,443 million) amounted to approximately €1.1 billion and was utilized to reduce finance debt.

In the first half of 2018, the Exploration & Production segment reported an adjusted operating profit of €4,827 million, more than doubled compared to the first half of 2017 (€2,260 million). This improvement was due to sharply higher crude oil prices (with the Brent price up by 36% in dollar terms) driving at strong recovery in Eni’s oil and gas realizations in dollar terms (up by 39.3% and 28%, respectively) as well as production growth, partly offset by currency headwinds (with the EUR/USD exchange rate up by 12% from the first half of 2017).

 

In the first half of 2018, adjusted net profit was €2,008 million, up by €817 million or 69% compared to the first half of 2017, due to higher operating performance partly offset by the write-off of a financing receivable taken in connection with an unsuccessful exploration project executed by a joint venture in the Black Sea (€220 million). Results were also impacted by an increased adjusted tax rate (up by 5 percentage points) due to a higher share of taxable profit reported in Countries with higher taxation as well as the non-deductible expense related to the unsuccessful initiative above mentioned. Cash tax rate was 28.4%.

In the first half of 2018, the Refining & Marketing and Chemicals segment reported an adjusted operating profit of €144 million, decreased from €541 million reported in the first half of 2017.

 

The Refining & Marketing business reported an adjusted operating profit of €79 million in the first half of 2018, down by 66% from the first half of 2017 due to an unfavorable trading environment with the refining margin declining by 24.8%, reflecting higher oil feedstock costs which were not reflected in selling prices, and the appreciation of the euro against the US dollar (up by 12%). The negative scenario was partly offset by supply and plant optimizations. The marketing business reported a positive performance y-o-y driven by effective commercial initiatives.

 

The Chemical business reported an adjusted operating profit of €65 million, down by 79% from the first half of 2017. This decrease was driven by lower margins on sales of intermediates and polyethylene, due to rapidly escalating costs of oil-based feedstock, not fully recovered in product prices and mounting competitive pressures from cheaper product streams from the Middle East and the USA. Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that first half of 2017 results benefitted from peak prices recorded for intermediates, mainly butadiene and benzene, reflecting one-off effects (product shortages in the USA and Asian markets).

 

Adjusted net profit amounting to €86 million in the first half of 2018, down by 76% from the first half of 2017, due to lower operating performance.

Alternative performance measures (Non-GAAP measures)

 

Management evaluates underlying business performance on the basis of Non-GAAP financial measures, not determined in accordance with IFRS (“Alternative performance measures”), such as adjusted operating profit and adjusted net profit, which are arrived at by excluding from reported operating profit and net profit certain gains and losses, defined special items, which include, among others, asset impairments, gains on disposals, risk provisions, restructuring charges and, in determining the business segments’ adjusted results, finance charges on finance debt and interest income (see below). In determining adjusted results, also 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.

 

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

 

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; or (iii) exchange rate differences and derivatives relating to industrial activities and commercial payables and receivables, particularly exchange rate derivatives to manage commodity pricing formulas which are quoted in a currency other than the functional currency. Those items are reclassified in operating profit with a corresponding adjustment to net finance charges, notwithstanding the handling of foreign currency exchange risks is made centrally by netting off naturally-occurring opposite positions and then dealing with any residual risk exposure in the exchange rate market. As provided for in Decision No. 15519 of July 27, 2006 of the Italian market regulator (CONSOB), non-recurring material income or charges are to be clearly reported in the management’s discussion and financial tables. Also, special items allow to allocate to future reporting periods gains and losses on re-measurement at fair value of certain non hedging commodity derivatives and exchange rate derivatives relating to commercial exposures, lacking the criteria to be designed as hedges, including the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges and certain derivative financial instruments embedded in the pricing formula of long-term gas supply agreements of the Exploration & Production segment.

 

Leverage

Leverage is a Non-GAAP measure of the Company’s financial condition, calculated as the ratio between net borrowings and shareholders’ equity, including non-controlling interest. Leverage is the reference ratio to assess the solidity and efficiency of the Group balance sheet in terms of incidence of funding sources including third-party funding and equity as well as to carry out benchmark analysis with industry standards.

 

Gearing

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.

 

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 and certain very liquid investments not related to operations, including among others non-operating financing receivables and securities not related to operations. Financial activities are qualified as “not related to operations” when these are not strictly related to the business operations.

Leverage 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.

Risk factors and uncertainties

 

Foreword

 

In this section are described the main risks Eni faces in managing its business segments. For the disclosure on financial risks (market, counterparty and liquidity risk) see note n. 28 – Guarantees, commitments and risks” in the Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

 

Risks related to the cyclicality of the Oil & Gas sector

 

Eni’s operating results, mainly in the Exploration & Production segment, are affected by volatile prices of crude oil and natural gas.

A decrease in oil and natural gas prices negatively affect the Group’s revenues, operating profit and cash flow, vice versa in case of prices increases.

Eni estimates that movements in oil prices impact approximately 50 per cent. of its current hydrocarbon production.

Strategically, this risk exposure is not subject to economic hedging, except for some specific market conditions or transactions.

The remaining portion of Eni’s current production is largely unaffected by crude oil price movements considering that the Company’s property portfolio is characterized by a sizeable presence of production sharing contracts (PSAs), whereby, due to the cost recovery mechanism, the Company is entitled to a larger number of barrels in the event of a fall in crude oil prices (see below).

Based on the current portfolio of oil and gas assets, Eni’s management estimates that the Group’s consolidated net profit would vary by approximately €200 million for each one dollar change in the price of the Brent crude oil benchmark with respect to the price case assumed in Eni’s financial projections for 2018 at 60 $/bbl. Net cash provided by operating activities is expected to vary by a similar amount.

Furthermore, a negative trend in the trading environment or a structural decline in commodity prices may have material effects on Eni’s businesses outlook, and may limit the Group’s funds available to finance expansion projects and certain contractual commitments.

The Company may review the carrying amount of oil and gas properties, whenever there is any indication that the carrying amounts of those assets may not be recoverable. This could result in accounting material asset impairments, as well as in reviewing the capex plan, which could be no more profitable, being affected by price declines. In addition, such lower price may force the Company to cancel, postpone or reschedule certain development projects, adversely affecting growth in future production and revenues as well as funds available to finance expansion projects. These risks may adversely impact shareholder returns, including dividends and the share prices.

As of June 30, 2018, management outlook on future trends in the oil and gas market is unchanged from the one used to estimate recoverability of the carrying amounts of the Group’s assets as of December 31, 2017.

In the first half of 2018, Brent prices retained the recovery trend recorded in the latter part of 2017, averaging about 70 $/bbl, on the back of a better balance between crude oil demand and global supply, as well as geopolitical factors and supply disruptions (such as in Venezuela).

Given the expected evolution of market fundamentals supported by a recovery in demand due to macroeconomic growth and the possible medium-term supply deficit due to oil companies’ capex cuts during the downturn, Eni’s management confirmed the long-term price assumption at 72 $/bbl in 2021 real terms (73.4 $/bbl in 2022) adopted in the estimation of recoverability of the carrying amounts of the Group’s assets as of December 31, 2017.

However, management has also evaluated the continuing risks and uncertainties inherent in such forecasts, including the actual position of the OPEC, the resurface of geopolitical risks, the circumstance that the futures markets of crude prices remain in backwardation, the evolution in the marginal costs and yields of the USA unconventional production, as well as global macroeconomic trends. As a result, management confirms a prudent approach in capital budgeting while maintaining rigorous capital discipline.

Eni Interim Consolidated Report / Financial review and other information

 

Over the next four years, the Company plans to invest something below €32 billion, unchanged from the previous plan; approximately 50% of capital expenditures at the end of the four-year period refer to uncommitted projects, granting to the Group an appropriate financial flexibility in case of sudden changes in trading environment. In 2018, Eni expects to make capital expenditures of approximately €7.7 billion, in line with 2017. Finally, volatility in oil and gas prices determines uncertainty in the achievement of Eni’s operational targets, such as production growth and reserves replacement due to the important weight of Production Sharing Contracts (PSA) in Eni’s portfolio. Pursuant to these contracts, Eni is entitled to a portion of a field’s production, the sale of which is intended to cover expenditures incurred by the Company to develop and operate the field. The lower the reference prices for Brent crude oil used to estimate Eni’s production and proved reserves, the higher the number of barrels necessary to recover the same amount of expenditure, and vice versa. Based on the current portfolio of oil and gas assets, Eni’s management estimates that production entitlements vary on average by approximately 750 bbl/d for each $1 change in oil prices compared to current Eni’s assumptions for oil prices, determining an entitlement of approximately 14 kboe/d in the first half of 2018. In case oil prices differ significantly from our own forecasts, the result of the above mentioned sensitivity of production to oil price changes may be significantly different.

The Group’s results from its Refining & Marketing and Chemicals businesses are primarily dependent upon the supply and demand for refined and chemical products and the associated margins on refined product and chemical products sales, with the impact of changes in oil prices on results of these segments being dependent upon the speed at which the prices of products adjust to reflect movements in oil prices.

For further details on this risk see the 2017 Annual Report on Form 20-F.

 

Country risk

 

As of December 31, 2017, approximately 80% of Eni’s proved hydrocarbon reserves and 60% of Eni’s supplies of natural gas came from outside OECD countries, mainly Africa, Russia, Central Asia and Southern America, where the socio-political framework and macroeconomic outlook is less stable than in the OECD countries.

Adverse political, social and economic developments, such as internal conflicts, revolutions, establishment of non-democratic regimes, protests, strikes and other forms of civil disorder, contraction of economic activity and financial difficulties of the local governments with repercussions on the solvency of state institutions, inflation levels, exchange rates and similar events in those non-OECD countries may negatively impair Eni’s ability to continue operating in an economically viable way, either temporarily or permanently, and Eni’s ability to access oil and gas reserves and gas supply.

In the current geopolitical scenario, Eni is exposed to the counterparty risk mainly in Venezuela, which is currently experiencing a situation of financial stress amidst an economic downturn due to lack of resources to support the development of the country’s hydrocarbons reserves. The situation has been made worse by certain international sanctions targeting the country’s financial system.

This situation could compromise, in the second half of the year, Eni’s ability to recover trade receivables part due owed by National Oil Companies for equity production sold and capex made in the Country.

Notwithstanding these difficulties, during the first half of 2018, Eni cashed in a certain amount of gas supplied to the Cardon IV project sold to the National Company PDVSA by Eni’s participated joint venture Cardon IV. Those collections were in line with expected loss assumptions, on which the counterparty risk was factored in the 2017 assessment on trade receivables and assets recoverability in the Country.

Also in Nigeria Eni is exposed to counterparty risk, due to the financial stress of the National oil Company “NNPC” which is carried by Eni’s certain petroleum JV projects.

Libya’s geopolitical situation continues to represent a source of risk and uncertainty which could materially impact the ability of the Company to conduct its operations in a safe and regular manner.

For further details on this risk see the 2017 Annual Report on Form 20-F.

 

Sanction targets

 

No further developments on this risk emerged in the first half of 2017 other than what has been disclosed in the 2017 Annual Report on Form 20-F, except for tightening of USA sanctions against Venezuela. Such sanctions prohibit any US person to be involved in all transactions related to, provision of financing for,

and other dealings in, among other things, any debt owed to the Government of Venezuela that is pledged as collateral after the effective date, including accounts receivable.

 

Risks associated with the exploration and production of oil and natural gas

 

The exploration and production of oil and natural gas require high levels of capital expenditures and are subject to natural hazards and other uncertainties, including those relating to the physical characteristics of oil and gas fields. Exploration drilling for oil and gas involves the risk of dry holes or failure to find commercial quantities of hydrocarbons. The exploration and production activities are subject to mining risk, cost overrun and delayed start-up risks, which could have an adverse impact on Eni’s future growth prospects, results of operations and liquidity. Future production targets will leverage on the ability of the Company to replace reserves through successful exploration, effectiveness and efficiency of development activities, the application of technological improvements to maximize recovery rates of producing fields and the outcome of negotiations with producing Countries. An inability to replace produced reserves by discovering, acquiring and developing additional reserves could adversely impact future production levels and growth prospects. By its nature, the upstream activity exposes Eni to a wide range of significant environmental, health and safety, security risks of Eni’s personnel and the neighboring communities, damage or destruction to properties. These include the risks of blowout of hydrocarbon, fire or explosion, vessel collisions, geological risks such as discovery of hydrocarbon pockets with abnormal pressure, equipment failures and other forms of accidents, can lead to loss of life, environmental damages, damage or destruction to properties, pollution and consequently potential economic losses and liabilities that could have a material and adverse effect on the business, results of operations, liquidity, reputation and prospects of the Group, including the share price and the dividends.

These risks mainly affect in deep/ultra-deep offshore operations. In 2017, approximately 53% of Eni’s total oil and gas production for the year derived from offshore fields. Eni is executing or is planning to execute several development projects to produce and market hydrocarbon reserves.

For further details on this risk see the 2017 Annual Report on Form 20-F.

 

Operational risks and associated HS&E risks

 

The Group engages in the exploration and production of oil and natural gas, refining of crude oil, petrochemical productions and transport of fuels, natural gas, LNG and petroleum products, in Italy and abroad. By their nature, the Group’s operations expose Eni to a wide range of significant health, safety, security and environmental risks (flammability, toxicity, instability).

Technical faults, malfunction of plants, equipment and facilities, control systems failure, human errors, acts of sabotage, loss of containment and adverse weather events can trigger damaging events such as explosions, fires, oil and gas spills from wells, pipelines, release of contaminants, toxic emissions and other negative events.

These risks are affected by geography and climatic conditions of the areas in which operations are conducted, (e.g. onshore vs offshore, sensitive habitats such as the Arctic, the Gulf of Mexico, the Caspian Sea, refineries located near urban areas), the technical complexity of industrial activities and the technical difficulties in the implementation of recovery and containment of oil or other chemical liquids spilled into the ecosystem or harmful emissions into the atmosphere, the closing operations of damaged wells, or in case of blow-out, fire extinguishing in refineries, petrochemical sites or pipelines.

For these reasons, the activities of the oil, refining, transportation and chemical industries, are subjected to a strict regulation aiming to protect the environment, health and safety, defined by both national authorities and international conventions and protocols.

Eni has adopted integrated management systems, safety standards, high quality and reliability operational practices to comply with environmental regulations and to protect the integrity of people, environment, operations, properties and communities involved.

However, in spite of the above mentioned mitigation initiatives, the occurrence of the described events which could also results in incident of catastrophic proportions could have a material adverse effect on Eni's management, results of operations, consolidated financial conditions, business prospects, reputation and shareholders’ value (including Eni’s share price and dividends).

Eni could be also exposed to the risk of liabilities and environmental charges relating to some property sites in Italy, now inactive, where in the past years it has carried out minero-metallurgical and chemical

 

35 

 

 

Eni Interim Consolidated Report / Financial review and other information

 

activities; in these sites, levels of concentration of pollutants may not comply with the current environmental legislation.

Despite Eni declared to be a "not guilty owner" because not responsible for exceeding pollution thresholds allowed by existing laws, as well as because the Group succeeded in many cases to other operators in the management of such sites, it is still possible that in the future Eni may incur further liabilities in addition to the amounts already accrued due to the results of ongoing surveys or surveys to be carried out on the environmental status of certain of Eni’s industrial sites as required by the applicable regulations on contaminated sites, unfavorable developments in ongoing litigation on the environmental status of certain of the Company’s sites where a number of public administrations and the Italian Ministry of the Environment act as plaintiffs and other risk factors.

For more information on HSE risks, including risks related to climate change and how Eni manages and control these risks, please refer to the paragraph "Risks" of 2017 Annual Report on Form 20-F.

 

Risks associated with the trading environment and competition in the gas market

 

The outlook of the European wholesale gas market remains muted due to continued oversupplies, exacerbated by increased availability of liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) on global scale, and weak demand dynamics. Growth in gas demand has been dampened by the increasing use of renewable sources and competition from cheaper fossil fuels (like coal), in a context of institutional uncertainty in the Eurozone on the role of gas in the global energy mix. Management is forecasting flat growth of gas demand in Europe and Italy until 2021.

Eni’s gas supply contracts portfolio consist of long-term contracts with take-or-pay clauses, which expose the Company both to a price risk, in the case of purchase price indexations that do not track spot prices and a volume risk in the case of market oversupply.

The results of Eni’s wholesale business are particularly exposed to the volatility of the spreads between spot prices at European hubs and Italian spot prices because the Group’s supply costs are mainly linked to prices at European hubs, whereas a large part of the Group’s selling volumes are linked to Italian spot prices. The measure of those spreads which is affected by market dynamics underpins the Company’s ability to recover its fixed expenses, including logistic costs.

Against this backdrop, Eni’s management is planning to continue its strategy of renegotiating the Company’s long-term gas supply contracts in order to align pricing and volume terms to current market conditions as they evolve.

Management believes that the outcome of those renegotiations is uncertain in respect of both the amount of the economic benefits that will be ultimately obtained and the timing of recognition of profit. Furthermore, in case Eni and the gas suppliers fail to agree on revised contractual terms, the claiming party has the ability to open an arbitration procedure to obtain revised contractual conditions. However, the suppliers might also file counterclaims with the arbitration panel seeking to dismiss Eni’s request for a price review.

For further details on this risk see the 2017 Annual Report on Form 20-F.

 

Current, negative trends in gas demands and supplies may impair the Company’s ability to fulfil its minimum off-take obligations in connection with its take-or-pay, long-term gas supply contracts

There are no further developments on this risk with respect to the 2017 Annual Report on Form 20-F.

 

Risks associated with sector-specific regulations in Italy

There are no further developments on this risk with respect to the 2017 Annual Report on Form 20-F.

 

Risks related to legal proceedings and compliance with anti-corruption legislation

 

Eni is the defendant in a number of civil actions and administrative proceedings. In addition to existing provisions accrued, in future years Eni may incur significant losses in addition to the amounts already accrued in connection with pending or future legal proceedings due to: (i) uncertainty regarding the final outcome of each proceeding; (ii) the occurrence of new developments that management could not take into consideration when evaluating the likely outcome of each proceeding in order to accrue the risk provisions as of the date of the latest financial statements; (iii) the emergence of new evidence and

 

36 

 

 

Eni Interim Consolidated Report / Financial review and other information

 

information; and (iv) underestimation of probable future losses due to the circumstance that they are often inherently difficult to estimate. Certain legal proceedings and investigations to which Eni or its subsidiaries or its officers and employees are parties involve the alleged breach of anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws and regulations and other ethical misconduct. Ethical misconduct and noncompliance with applicable laws and regulations, including noncompliance with anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws, by Eni, its officers and employees, its partners, agents or others that act on the Group’s behalf, could expose Eni and its employees to criminal and civil penalties and could be damaging to Eni’s reputation and shareholder value.

 

Climatic risk

 

Rising public concern and the governments’ perception related to climate change could generate operational and financial risks for a Company as Eni which seeks, develops and markets hydrocarbons, in the short, medium and long term.

In the short-medium term, management expects an increase in operating costs and capex related to stricter environmental laws aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). The scientific community has established a link between climate change and increasing GHG emissions.

The long-term risk for oil companies is the possibility that the adoption of increasingly stringent environmental policies for the reduction of GHG emissions at regional, national and international level, could bring to a decline in global demand for hydrocarbons and production.

Furthermore, technological breakthrough in the production and storage of renewable energies and in the efficiency of electric vehicles (EV – electric vehicles) could trigger the replacement of the hydrocarbons.

Because Eni’s business depends on the global demand for oil and natural gas, in case existing or future laws, regulations, treaties, or international agreements related to GHG and climate change, including incentives to preserve energy or use alternative energy sources, technological breakthrough in the field of renewable energies or mass-adoption of electric vehicles reduce the worldwide demand for oil and natural gas, this could significantly and negatively affect Eni’s results of operations, liquidity, business prospects and shareholders’ returns.

The other risks related to climate change include the physical risk caused by extreme weather phenomena such as hurricanes, floods, monsoons, droughts, rising seas levels, which could interfere with Eni’s operations with loss of output, loss of revenues and significant damages on property, as well as, there is the reputational risk linked to the possibility that oil companies may be perceived by institutions and the general public as the entities mainly responsible of the climate change.

Relating to the risks described, Eni has defined a decarbonisation pathway and pursues a clear and defined climatic strategy, integrated with its business model, based on the following levers:

- reduction of GHG direct emissions, through projects aimed at eliminating flaring gas, reducing fugitive methane emissions and achieving energy efficiency initiatives;

-“Low carbon” oil&gas portfolio characterized by conventional projects, developed for phases and with low CO2 intensity. The new upstream projects in execution, which represent about 65% of the development investments for the segment, in the four-year period 2018-2021, have a break-even lower than $30/bbl, therefore resilient even in the presence of low carbon scenarios;

-development of green business through a growing commitment in renewable energies and reconversion of a part of refineries and petrochemical sites to hubs for production of fuels and products from renewable sources;

-commitment in scientific and technological research activities (R&D).

The composition of the upstream portfolio and the Eni strategy are important mitigation factors for the "stranded assets" risk. In this context, as illustrated in the 2017 Annual Report on Form 20-F and in the 2017 Consolidated disclosure of non-financial information (NFI) included in the 2017 Integrated Annual Report, to which it is referred for further information, management performed a review of the recoverability of the book values of the Eni’s oil&gas CGUs under the assumptions of the IEA SDS. The sensitivity test confirmed the resiliency of Eni’s asset portfolio with a 4% reduction in the aggregate fair value of Eni’s properties.

Outlook

 

Exploration & Production

 

Hydrocarbon production: the Company is forecasting a 4% increase for the FY 2018 vs. 2017 at a Brent price scenario of 60 $/bbl, equalling to a production level of about 1.9 million boe/d. This growth is expected to be driven by: continuing production ramp-up at the fields started up in 2017, particularly in Egypt, Indonesia and Ghana, a larger contribution from the Kashagan, Goliat and Val d’Agri fields, new fields start-ups in Angola, Libya and Ghana, as well as the contribution of the new venture in UAE. These increases are expected to be partly offset principally by mature fields declines.

 

Gas & Power

 

Revised upwardly the guidance of the FY adjusted operating profit at €400 million, notwithstanding the business seasonality with the third quarter being the weaker in the year.

 

Gas sales: expected to decline in line with an expected reduction in long-term contractual commitments both to procure and to supply gas. An increase in nearly 9 million tons of LNG contracted volumes expected by 2018 year-end.

 

Refining & Marketing and Chemicals

 

A projected refining break-even margin of approximately 3 $/barrel by the end of 2018, leveraging on the restart of the EST unit, at the Sannazzaro refinery.

 

Refining throughputs on own accounts expected to be flat compared to 2017, due to better performance at the Sannazzaro and Livorno refineries because of unplanned shutdowns in 2017, offset by reductions at the Taranto and Milazzo plants. Green diesel productions are expected to grow at the Venice plant. A higher refineries utilization rate is projected.

 

Retail sales were substantially unchanged y-o-y in Italy and in European markets. The market share in Italy is expected to be stable at around 24%.

 

Versalis: spreads of the main commodities, which were negatively affected by rapidly-escalating oil based feedstock costs in the second quarter 2018, are expected to normalize. Sales volumes are expected to grow in all business lines driven by higher product availability and by fewer planned standstills and upsets.

 

Group

 

Cash neutrality: funding of capex for the FY and the dividend is confirmed at a Brent price of approximately 55 $/bbl in 2018.

 

2018 FY Capex expected to be €7.7 billion, in line with the guidance.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

  1    Basis of presentation

 

The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements as of June 30, 2018 (hereinafter “Interim Financial Statements”) have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (hereinafter IAS 34).

 

The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the same principles of consolidation and accounting policies described in the last Consolidated Annual Financial Statements (see the related report for more information), except for applying the International Financial Reporting Standards effective from January 1, 2018, described in the section “IFRSs not yet adopted” of the last Consolidated Annual Financial Statements. In particular, IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", as well as the related document “Clarifications to IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, (hereinafter IFRS 15) and IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" (hereinafter IFRS 9) have been applied in the Interim Financial Statements.

 

IFRS 15 provides for the recognition and measurement criteria of revenue from contracts with customers; in particular, revenue are recognised by applying the following five steps: (i) identifying the contract with the customer1; (ii) identifying the performance obligations, that are promises in a contract to transfer goods and/or services to a customer; (iii) determining the transaction price; (iv) allocating the transaction price to each performance obligation on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling prices of each good or service promised in the contract; and (v) recognising revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, that is when a promised good or service is transferred to a customer. A promised good or service is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control of it. Control can be transferred over time or at a point in time.

 

The application of IFRS 15 resulted in: (i) the recognition, as intangible assets, of the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with customers, if the entity expects to recover those costs. The intangible asset related to these contract costs is amortised on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the asset relates; and (ii) the recognition of revenue from crude oil and natural gas production from properties in which Eni has an interest with other producers on the basis of the actually sold quantities (sales method), instead of the entitled quantities of production (entitlement method).

 

Requirements in IFRS 9 for classification and measurement of financial assets provides for the following categories: (i) financial assets measured at amortised cost; (ii) financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (hereinafter also OCI); and (iii) financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss.

 

The classification of a financial asset that is a debt instrument is based on both its contractual cash flow characteristics and the entity’s business model for managing the financial asset. In particular, financial assets whose contractual terms give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding are measured at amortised cost if they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows (the so called hold to collect business model); conversely, financial assets are measured at fair value through OCI (hereinafter also FVTOCI) if they are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets (the so called hold to collect and sell business model).

 

A financial asset represented by a debt instrument that is neither measured at amortised cost nor at FVTOCI, is measured at fair value through profit or loss (hereinafter FVTPL); financial assets held for trading fall into this category.

 

 

1 Under IFRS 15, a customer is a party that has contracted with an entity to obtain goods or services that are an output of the entity’s ordinary activities in exchange for consideration.

 

 

 

 48Eni Interim Report 
 Notes to the Financial Statements 

 

Investments in equity instruments, that are not held for trading, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income without subsequent transfer of fair value changes to profit or loss on derecognition of these investments; conversely, dividends from these investments are recognised in the profit and loss account. In limited circumstances, an investment in equity instruments can be measured at cost if it is an appropriate estimate of fair value.

 

Derivatives embedded in financial assets are no longer accounted for separately; in such circumstances, the entire hybrid instrument is classified depending on the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial instrument and the business model for managing it. Derivatives embedded in financial liabilities and/or non-financial assets are separated if: (i) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract; (ii) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the definition of a derivative; and (iii) the entire hybrid contract is not measured at FVTPL.

 

IFRS 9 requires the adoption of the expected credit loss model for impairment of financial assets, based on a forward-looking approach; in particular, with reference to trade and other receivables, the expected credit losses are generally measured by multiplying: (i) the exposure to the counterparty’s credit risk net of any collateral held and other credit enhancements (Exposure At Default, EAD); (ii) the probability that the default of the counterparty occurs (Probability of Default, PD); and (iii) the percentage estimate of the exposure that will not be recovered in case of default (Loss Given Default, LGD), considering the past experiences and the range of recovery tools that can be activated (e.g. extrajudicial and/or legal proceedings, etc.).

 

Probabilities of Default of counterparties are determined by adopting the internal credit ratings already used for credit worthiness; for government entities (e.g. National Oil Companies), the Probability of Default, represented essentially by the probability of a delayed payment, is determined by using, as input data, the country risk premium adopted to determine WACC for the impairment review of non-financial assets.

 

For retail customers, without internal credit ratings, the expected credit losses are measured by using a provision matrix, defined by grouping, where appropriate, receivables into adequate cluster to which apply credit loss rates defined on the basis of its historical credit loss experiences, adjusted, where appropriate, to take into account forward-looking information on credit risk of the counterparty or cluster of counterparties.

 

Moreover, with reference to the qualifying criteria for hedge accounting, IFRS 9 requires: (i) the existence of an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument in order to offset the related value changes; (ii) the effects of counterparty credit risk do not dominate the economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument; and (iii) the definition of the relationship between the quantity of the hedged item and the quantity of the hedging instrument (the so called hedge ratio) consistently with the entity’s risk management objectives, under a defined risk management strategy; the hedge ratio is adjusted, where appropriate, after taking into account any adequate rebalancing. A hedging relationship is discontinued prospectively, in its entirety or a part of it, when it no longer meets the risk management objectives on the basis of which it qualified for hedge accounting, it ceases to meet the other qualifying criteria or after rebalancing it.

 

Furthermore the adoption of IFRS 9 resulted in updating the statements essentially with reference to the profit and loss account line items, by opening a new line item to present separately impairment losses/reversals of trade and other receivables (named “Net reversals (impairment losses) of trade and other receivables”2) and renaming the line item “Net impairments/reversals” as “Net reversals (impairment losses) of tangible and intangible assets”.

 

Consistently with the provisions of IAS 34, the Interim Financial Statements include selected explanatory notes.

 

Current income taxes have been calculated based on the estimated taxable profit for the interim period. Current income tax assets and liabilities have been measured at the amount expected to be paid to/recovered from the tax Authorities, using tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period and the tax rates estimated on an annual basis.

 

 

2 These items were previously recognised within the line item “Purchases, services and other”. Consequently, although it is not explicitly required by the transition requirements in IFRS 9, these items referred to the comparative period, determined in accordance with the superseded IAS 39, have been reclassified into the new line item.

Investments in subsidiaries, joint arrangements and associates as of June 30, 2018 are presented in the annex “List of companies owned by Eni SpA as of June 30, 2018”. This annex includes also the changes in the scope of consolidation.

 

On July 26, 2018, Eni’s Board of Directors approved the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements as of June 30, 2018. The external auditor EY SpA carried out a limited review of the Interim Financial Statements; a limited review is significantly less in scope than an audit performed in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards.

 

The Interim Financial Statements are presented in euro and all values are rounded to the nearest million euros (€ million).

 

  2    Changes in accounting policies

 

IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers", as well as the document “Clarifications to IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, which set out the requirements for recognising and measuring revenue arising from contracts with customers, have been adopted by the Commission Regulations no. 2016/1905 and 2017/1987 issued by the European Commission, respectively, in September 22, 2016 and October 31, 2017.

 

IFRS 15 have been applied starting from January 1, 2018, recognising, in accordance with the transition requirements of the standard, the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of equity as of January 1, 2018, taking into account the contracts existing at that date, without restating the comparative periods. In particular, the adoption of IFRS 15 resulted in a decrease in equity of €49 million arising from:

 

(i)a negative change of €103 million (€259 million before taxes) in the Exploration & Production segment, related to the accounting for amounts of production lifted by a partner within oil & gas operations different from its proportionate entitlement (the so called lifting imbalances), by recognising revenue on the basis of the quantities actually sold (the so called sales method) instead of the entitled quantities (the so called entitlement method); expenses are recognised on the basis of the quantities actually sold. Moreover the adoption of sales method resulted in the reclassification of underlifting assets (quantities lifted smaller than the entitled ones) and overlifting liabilities (quantities lifted higher than the entitled ones), represented as receivables and payables under the entitlement method, into the other assets and liabilities;

 

(ii)a positive change of €60 million (€87 million before taxes), related to the capitalisation of the incremental costs of obtaining contracts with customers in the Gas & Power segment, net of their amortisation;

 

(iii)a negative change of €6 million of equity-accounted investments.

 

IFRS 9, adopted by the Commission Regulation no. 2016/2067 issued by the European Commission on November 22, 2016, have been applied starting from January 1, 2018. As allowed by the transition requirements of the standard, considering also the complexity of the restatement at the beginning of the first comparative period without the use of hindsight, the impacts of the new classification and measurement requirements, including impairment, of financial assets, have been recognised as an adjustment to the opening balance of equity as of January 1, 2018, without restating the comparative periods; with reference to hedge accounting, the adoption of the new requirements did not have significant impacts.

 

In particular, the adoption of IFRS 9 resulted in an increase in equity of €294 million arising from the fair value measurement of investments in equity instruments previously measured at cost (€681 million), partially offset by the additional impairment losses (€356 million) of trade and other receivables (€427 million before taxes), recognised under the expected credit loss model and by the decrease of the carrying amount of equity-accounted investments (€31 million).

 

As indicated in the section “Basis of preparation”, with reference to measurement of investments in equity instruments, Eni elected to designate the investments in equity instruments, held as of January 1, 2018, as assets measured at FVTOCI.

 

 

 

 50Eni Interim Report 
 Notes to the Financial Statements 

 

Moreover, with reference to the classification and measurement of financial assets, Eni reclassified the portfolio of financial assets previously classified as available for sale into the financial assets measured at FVTPL (€207 million), on the basis of the facts and circumstances that existed at January 1, 2018.

 

The breakdown of the abovementioned quantitative effects and reclassifications3, deriving from the initial application, as of January 1, 20184, of IFRS 9 and IFRS 15, is as follows:

Shareholders' equity 48,079 294 (49)   245 48,324

 

With reference to the first half of 2018, the application of the previous revenue recognition requirements does not have a significant impact on the profit and loss account and on the statement of cash flows. Conversely, the balance sheet would have been affected essentially as follows: (i) higher net assets related to lifting imbalances for €330 million5; (ii) lower intangible assets for €107 million due to the lack of possibility to recognise, as intangible assets, the incremental costs of obtaining contracts with customers; (iii) the increase of trade and other payables due to the reclassification of €537 million related to advances from customers.

 

 

3 Under IFRS 15, short-term advances from customers have been reclassified from the line item “Trade and other payables” into the line item “Other current liabilities” of the balance sheet in order to present them together with the other current contract liabilities (e.g. customer loyalty programs, deferred income, etc.), already recognised within such line item. 

4 The IFRIC Interpretation 22 “Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration” is also effective starting from January 1, 2018, but it did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. 

5 In accordance with the previous accounting policy (entitlement method), revenues from crude oil and natural gas production from properties in which Eni has an interest together with other producers were recognised on the basis of Eni’s net working interest in those properties. In the balance sheet, lifting imbalances were recognised respectively as payables and receivables and measured at current prices at the balance sheet date.

  3    Significant accounting estimates or judgements

 

The significant accounting estimates and judgements made by management are disclosed in the last Consolidated Annual Financial Statements, except for those related to the measurement criteria of expected credit losses of financial assets. In particular, estimates made by management based on complex and/or subjective judgements with reference to the determination of the Probability of Default and Loss Given Default of counterparties and to the application of the simplified approach for measuring the expected credit losses of retail customers.

 

  4    International Financial Reporting Standards not yet adopted

 

Besides the International Financial Reporting Standards not yet adopted, which are disclosed in the last Consolidated Annual Financial Statements, on March 29, 2018, the IASB issued the document “Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards”, which includes, basically, technical and editorial changes to existing IFRS standards in order to update references in those standards to previous versions of the IFRS Framework with the new Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting, issued by the IASB on the same date. The amendments to the standards shall be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020.

 

Eni is currently reviewing the International Financial Reporting Standards not yet adopted in order to determine the likely impact on the Group’s financial statements.

The allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to €164 million and primarily related to: (i) the Gas & Power segment for €108 million, particularly the retail business. The mitigation measures regarding the counterparty risk executed by the Company, including a better selection in the customer acquisition process, allowed to reduce the incidence of the unpaid on retail sales to physiological levels; (ii) the Exploration & Production segment for €48 million as consequence of the application of the expected loss method to trade receivables arisen in connection with the supply of equity hydrocarbons to State-owned companies and other commercial partners.

 

Deductions amounting to €80 million related to the Gas & Power segment for €57 million and mainly related to the recognition of losses on doubtful accounts in the retail business.

 

Receivables from disposals amounting to €279 million decreased by €318 million compared to December 31, 2017 also due to the collection of the price installments for the sale of 10% and 30% interests in the Zohr asset in Egypt, respectively to BP and Rosneft for a total amount of €439 million. An additional installment relating to the transaction with BP, which will be collected in June 2019 (€115 million). The item also include €161 million related to the third and last installment of a receivable on the divestment of a 1.71% interest in the Kashagan project to the local partner KazMunayGas based on the agreements defined between the international partners of the North Caspian Sea PSA and the Kazakh government, which enacted a new contractual framework for managing project operations. The repayment scheme of the receivable was triggered by achievement of the agreed target production level of the Kashagan field that was reached in 2016.

 

Other receivables of €4,472 million (€4,642 million at December 31, 2017) primarily related to receivables owed by Eni’s partners in unincorporated joint ventures that are currently executing exploration and production projects. The largest outstanding amount related to partners in Nigeria for €1,248 million (€1,507 million at December 31, 2017) and among these: (i) receivables of €681 million (€713 million at December 31, 2017) related to the contractual recovery of expenditures pertaining to the Nigerian national oil company NNPC in respect of certain projects operated by Eni. During the period, the Company recovered €97 million of the overdue amount leveraging on the implementation of the "Repayment Agreement" agreed with the counterparty, whereby Eni is to be reimbursed through the sale of the profit oil attributable to NNPC in certain rig-less petroleum initiatives with low mineral risk profile. Based on Eni’s Brent price scenario, the reimbursement will be accomplished over a time horizon of three to five years. These receivables are stated net of a discount factor; (ii) receivables for the contractual recovery of costs incurred at an operated oil project subject to arbitration in relation to the contractual recognition of these costs for €97 million (€153 million at December 31, 2017). The receivable is stated net of a provision for doubtful accounts which was re-measured in the reporting period on the basis of the updated estimate of the expected loss in connection with a likely recovery plan. Other receivables also included the receivable due from the equity-accounted entity Cardón IV by the Venezuelan State-owned oil company (PDVSA) for the supplies of gas volumes. This receivable was purchased by an Eni’s subsidiary from the joint venture. The evaluations of the credit recoverability and of the associated expected loss made in the Annual Report 2017 are confirmed in this Interim Report 2018.

 

Because of the short-term maturity and conditions of remuneration of trade receivables, the fair value generally approximated the carrying amount.

 

Receivables with related parties are described in note 36 – Transactions with related parties.

As of June 30, 2018, the carrying amount of goodwill amounted to €1,209 million (€1,204 million at December 31, 2017) net of cumulative impairment charges amounting to €2,420 million (€2,414 million at December 31, 2017).

 

Management did not identify any impairment indicator in the first half of 2018.

The criteria adopted in the identification of the Group’s Cash Generating Units (CGU) and in the impairment review of the recoverability of the carrying amounts of fixed assets remain unchanged from the Annual Report 2017 (see note 19 – Impairment/reversal of tangible assets of the Annual Report 2017).

 

Management’s expectations about future trends in the oil trading environment at the reporting date of June 30, 2018 are unchanged compared to the assumptions used for the assessments of the recoverability of assets carrying amounts in the Annual Report 2017. In the first half of 2018, the recovery in oil prices strengthened, with the Brent crude oil benchmark achieving an average value of $70/barrel. Management has retained the internal view of a gradual rebalancing in the fundamentals of global demands and supplies of crude oil driven by macroeconomic growth and a possible supply shortfall in the medium term due to the curtailments to capital expenditures made by oil companies during a three-year downturn. Therefore, management has confirmed its long-term assumption for the benchmark Brent price of 72$/BBL in 2021 real terms, used in the Annual report 2017 to assess the recoverability of the carrying amounts of oil&gas assets.

 

The updated estimate of the weighted-average cost of capital to the Group (WACC) did not show any change from the value used in the Annual Report 2017. In the first half 2018, management hiked its expectations for the returns on risk-free assets and projected a reduction in the financial leverage, which effects were partially offset by a decrease in the beta of Eni.

 

At the balance sheet date, the market capitalization of Eni amounting to €57.3 billion exceeded by about 13.4% the book value of the consolidated net assets (€50.5 billion).

 

Considering the substantial lack of any impairment indicators in the commodity pricing environment, progress achieved so far in the capital projects designed to develop the Group’s reserves, management’s commitment to achieving the publicly stated target of production growth for the full year 2018, management concluded that there were no trigger events to perform any impairment review in the Exploration & Production segment, that will be therefore assessed at the end of the year, according to the company procedures.

With regard to the mid-downstream segments, management decided to test the recoverability of the carrying amount of refineries and power plants due to a deteriorating margin environment. In both cases, no critical issues emerged.

 

Therefore, in the first half 2018, marginal impairment losses (€103 million) were mainly recorded in relation to investments of the period for compliance and stay-in-business related to some CGUs (refineries, the network of service stations along highways) fully impaired in prior years and for which profitability expectations have remained unchanged. Furthermore, a held-for-sale asset in the Exploration & Production segment was aligned to fair value in light of the sale negotiation ongoing, recording an impairment loss.

Acquisitions and capital increases of €67 million primarily related to companies engaged in the execution of industrial projects in the interest of Eni, in particular, the capital contribution to Coral FLNG Ltd (€46 million) which is engaged in the development of a floating production and storage unit of LNG in natural gas-rich Area 4 offshore Mozambique.

 

The accounting under the equity method of €401 million included: (i) a gain of €467 million related to the venture Angola LNG Ltd, of which €423 million due to the reversal of impairment losses taken at the assets due to improved economics of the project; (ii) an impairment loss of €100 million recognized at the investment in Saipem (Eni’s interest 31%). Considering the impairment indicator of a current market capitalization lower than the book value of the investee, management assessed the recoverability of the book value confirming its evaluation.

 

As of June 30, 2018, the book value and the market value of the investments listed in stock markets was as follows:

The fair value of the main non-controlling interests in unquoted undertakings, classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, was estimated based on a methodology that combines expected additional earnings and sum-of-the-parts measurements (so-called residual income approach) and takes into account, inter alia, the following inputs: (i) expected results, as a gauge of the future profitability of the investees, derived from the business plans, but adjusted, where appropriate, to include the assumptions that market participants would incorporate; (ii) the cost of capital, adjusted to include the risk premium of the specific country in which each investee operates. Changes of 1% of the cost of capital considered in the valuation do not produce significant changes at the fair value evaluation.

 

Acquisitions and subscriptions of €49 million related for €41 million to the acquisitions of a 35.73% stake in Commonwealth Fusion System Llc (CFS), created as a spin-out of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for the development of the technology of power generation from fusion.

The largest exposure amounting to €1,005 million (€955 million at December 31, 2017) was towards the joint venture Cardón IV SA (Eni’s interest 50%) in Venezuela, which is currently operating the Perla gas field. The increase of the period was primarily determined by exchange rate differences. The loan recoverability was assessed on the base of the cash flows that will be generated by the venture. There was no evidence of negative developments with respect to the recoverability test performed in the Annual report 2017, which factored in the assessment of the risk relating to the financial outlook of Venezuela by projecting a delay in the timing of collection of the revenues of the oil projects. These assumptions were confirmed in the first half of 2018.

The non-dilutive equity-linked bond issued provides for by a redemption value linked to the market price of Eni’s shares. The bondholders have "conversion" rights at certain times and/or in the presence of certain events, while the bonds will be cash-settled. Accordingly, to hedge its exposure, Eni purchased cash-settled call options relating to Eni shares that will be settled on a net cash basis. The convertible bond is measured at amortized cost. The conversion option, embedded in the financial instrument issued, and the call option on Eni’s shares acquired are valued at fair value with effects recognized through profit and loss.

 

As of June 30, 2018, Eni did not identify any default on covenants or other contractual provisions in relation to borrowing facilities.

 

Fair value of long-term debt, including the current portion of long-term debt, amounted to €22,647 million (€23,764 million at December 31, 2017). A break-down is provided below:

long term, activities intended to preserve asset integrity and to optimize and maintain production levels following plateau attainment, transfer of technologies and know-how and adoption of best-in-class operating standards in connection with HSE matters; (ii) the termination of the contractual commitments relating to a consolidated subsidiary for the acquisition of long-term regasification services (until 2031) amounting at the opening balance to €948 million (undiscounted), following an arbitration award that established the termination of the contract and of the annual fees due by Eni and the recognition to the counterparty of equitable compensation of €300 million, recognized as an expense in the income statement for the first half 2018.

 

Risk factors

 

Financial risks

 

Financial risks are managed in respect of guidelines issued by the Board of Directors of Eni SpA in its role of directing and setting of the risk limits, targeting to align and centrally coordinate Group companies’ policies on financial risks (“Guidelines on financial risks management and control”). The “Guidelines” define for each financial risk the key components of the management and control process, such as the aim of the risk management, the valuation methodology, the structure of limits, the relation model and the hedging and mitigation instruments.

 

Market risk

 

Market risk is the possibility that changes in currency exchange rates, interest rates or commodity prices will adversely affect the value of the Group’s financial assets, liabilities or expected future cash flows. The Company actively manages market risk in accordance with a set of policies and guidelines that provide a centralized model of handling finance, treasury and risk management operations based on the Company’s structures of operational finance: the parent company’s (Eni SpA) finance department, Eni Finance International SA, Eni Finance USA Inc and Banque Eni SA, which is subject to certain bank regulatory restrictions preventing the Group’s exposure to concentrations of credit risk, and Eni Trading & Shipping, that is in charge to execute certain activities relating to commodity derivatives. In particular, Eni’s finance department and Eni Finance International SA manage subsidiaries’ financing requirements in and outside Italy, respectively, covering funding requirements and using available surpluses. All transactions concerning currencies and derivative contracts on interest rates and currencies different from commodities are managed by the parent company, while Eni Trading & Shipping SpA executes the negotiation of commodity derivatives over the market. Eni SpA and Eni Trading & Shipping SpA (also through its subsidiary Eni Trading & Shipping Inc) perform trading activities in financial derivatives on external trading venues, such as European and non-European regulated markets, Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF), Organized Trading Facility (OTF), or similar and brokerage platforms (i.e. SEF), and over the counter on a bilateral basis with external counterparties. Other legal entities belonging to Eni that require financial derivatives enter into these operations through Eni Trading & Shipping and Eni SpA based on the relevant asset class expertise. Eni uses derivative financial instruments (derivatives) in order to minimize exposure to market risks related to fluctuations in exchange rates relating to those transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency (the euro) and interest rates, as well as to optimize exposure to commodity prices fluctuations taking into account the currency in which commodities are quoted. Eni monitors every activity in derivatives classified as risk-reducing (in particular, back-to-back activities, flow hedging activities, asset-backed hedging activities and portfolio-management activities) directly or indirectly related to covered industrial assets, so as to effectively optimize the risk profile to which Eni is exposed or could be exposed. If the result of the monitoring shows those derivatives should not be considered as risk reducing, these derivatives are reclassified in proprietary trading. As the proprietary trading is considered separately from the other activities in specific portfolios of Eni Trading & Shipping, its exposure is subject to specific controls, both in terms of Value at Risk (VaR) and stop loss and in terms of nominal gross value. For Eni, the gross nominal value of proprietary trading activities is compared with the limits set by the relevant international standards. The framework defined by Eni’s policies and guidelines provides that the valuation

 

 

 

 Eni Interim Report71 
 Notes to the Financial Statements 

 

and control of market risk is performed on the basis of maximum tolerable levels of risk exposure defined in terms of: (i) limits of stop loss, which expresses the maximum tolerable amount of losses associated with a certain portfolio of assets over a pre-defined time horizon; (ii) limits of revision strategy, which consist in the triggering of a revision process of the strategy in the event of exceeding the level of profit and loss given; and (iii) VaR which measures the maximum potential loss of the portfolio, given a certain confidence level and holding period, assuming adverse changes in market variables and taking into account of the correlation among the different positions held in the portfolio. Eni’s finance department defines the maximum tolerable levels of risk exposure to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates in terms of VaR, pooling Group companies’ risk positions maximizing, when possible, the benefits of the netting activity. Eni’s calculation and valuation techniques for interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risks are in accordance with banking standards, as established by the Basel Committee for bank activities surveillance. Tolerable levels of risk are based on a conservative approach, considering the industrial nature of the Company. Eni’s guidelines prescribe that Eni Group companies minimize such kinds of market risks by transferring risk exposure to the parent company finance department. Eni’s guidelines define rules to manage the commodity risk aiming at optimizing core activities and pursuing present targets of stabilizing industrial and commercial margins. The maximum tolerable level of risk exposure is defined in terms of VaR, limits of revision strategy, stop loss and volumes in connection with exposure deriving from commercial activities, as well as exposure deriving from proprietary trading, exclusively managed by Eni Trading & Shipping. Internal mandates to manage the commodity risk provide for a mechanism of allocation of the Group maximum tolerable risk level to each business unit. In this framework, Eni Trading & Shipping, in addition to managing risk exposure associated with its own commercial activity and proprietary trading, pools the requests for negotiating commodity derivatives and executes them on the marketplace.

 

According to the targets of financial structure included in the financial plan approved by the Board of Directors, Eni has decided to retain a cash reserve to face any extraordinary requirement. Such reserve is managed by Eni’s finance department with the aim of optimizing the efficiency and ensuring maximum protection of the capital and its immediate liquidity within the limits assigned. The management of strategic cash is part of the asset management pursued through transactions on own risk in view of optimizing financial returns, while respecting authorized risk levels, safeguarding the Company’s assets and retaining quick access to liquidity.

 

The four different market risks, whose management and control have been summarized above, are described below.

 

Market risk — Exchange rate

 

Exchange rate risk derives from the fact that Eni’s operations are conducted in currencies other than the euro (mainly the U.S. dollar). Revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies may be significantly affected by exchange rates fluctuations due to conversion differences on single transactions arising from the time lag existing between execution and definition of relevant contractual terms (economic risk) and conversion of foreign currency-denominated trade and financing payables and receivables (transactional risk). Exchange rate fluctuations affect the Group’s reported results and net equity as financial statements of subsidiaries denominated in currencies other than the euro are translated from their functional currency into euro. Generally, an appreciation of the U.S. dollar versus the euro has a positive impact on Eni’s results of operations, and vice versa. Eni’s foreign exchange risk management policy is to minimize transactional exposures arising from foreign currency movements and to optimize exposures arising from commodity risk. Eni does not undertake any hedging activity for risks deriving from the translation of foreign currency denominated profits or assets and liabilities of subsidiaries, which prepare financial statements in a currency other than the euro, except for single transactions to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Effective management of exchange rate risk is performed within Eni’s central finance department, which pools Group companies’ positions, hedging the Group net exposure by using certain derivatives, such as currency swaps, forwards and options. Such derivatives are evaluated at fair value based on market prices provided by specialized info-providers. Changes in fair value of those derivatives are normally recognized through profit and loss, as they do not meet the formal criteria to be recognized as hedges. The VaR techniques are based on variance/covariance simulation models and are used to monitor

 

 

 

 72Eni Interim Report 
 Notes to the Financial Statements 

 

the risk exposure arising from possible future changes in market values over a 24-hour period within a 99% confidence level and a 20-day holding period.

 

Market risk — Interest rate

 

Changes in interest rates affect the market value of financial assets and liabilities of the Company and the level of finance charges. Eni’s interest rate risk management policy is to minimize risk with the aim to achieve financial structure objectives defined and approved in the management’s finance plans. The Group’s central finance department pools borrowing requirements of the Group companies in order to manage net positions and fund portfolio developments consistent with management plans, thereby maintaining a level of risk exposure within prescribed limits. Eni enters into interest rate derivative transactions, in particular interest rate swaps, to manage effectively the balance between fixed and floating rate debt. Such derivatives are evaluated at fair value based on market prices provided from specialized sources. Changes in fair value of those derivatives are normally recognized through the profit and loss account, as they do not meet the formal criteria to be accounted for under the hedge accounting method. VaR deriving from interest rate exposure is measured daily based on a variance/covariance model, with a 99% confidence level and a 20-day holding period.

 

Market risk — Commodity

 

Eni’s results of operations are affected by changes in the prices of commodities. A decrease in oil&gas prices generally, has a negative impact on Eni’s results of operations and vice versa, and may jeopardize the achievement of the financial targets preset in the Company’s four-year plans and budget. The commodity price risk arises in connection with the following exposures: (i) strategic exposure: exposures directly identified by the Board of Directors as a result of strategic investment decisions or outside the planning horizon of risk. These exposures include those associated with the program for the production of proved and unproved oil&gas reserves, long-term gas supply contracts for the portion not balanced by ongoing or highly probable sale contracts, refining margins identified by the Board of Directors as of strategic nature (the remaining volumes can be allocated to the active management of the margin or to asset-backed hedging activities) and minimum compulsory stocks; (ii) commercial exposure: includes the exposures related to the components underlying the contractual arrangements of industrial and commercial activities and, if related to take-or-pay commitments, to the components related to the time horizon of the four-year plan and budget and the relevant activities of risk management. Commercial exposures are characterized by a systematic risk management activity conducted based on risk/return assumptions by implementing one or more strategies and subjected to specific risk limits (VaR, revision strategy limits and stop loss). In particular, the commercial exposures include exposures subjected to asset-backed hedging activities, arising from the flexibility/optionality of assets; and (iii) proprietary trading exposure: includes operations independently conducted for profit purposes in the short term, and normally not finalized to the delivery, both within the commodity and financial markets, with the aim to obtain a profit upon the occurrence of a favorable result in the market, in accordance with specific limits of authorized risk (VaR, stop loss). In the proprietary trading exposures are included the origination activities, if not connected to contractual or physical assets. Strategic risk is not subject to systematic activity of management/coverage that is eventually carried out only in case of specific market or business conditions. Because of the extraordinary nature, hedging activities related to strategic risks are delegated to the top management. Strategic risk is subject to measuring and monitoring but is not subject to specific risk limits. If previously authorized by the Board of Directors, exposures related to strategic risk can be used in combination with other commercial exposures in order to exploit opportunities for natural compensation between the risks (natural hedge) and consequently reduce the use of derivatives (by activating logics of internal market). Eni manages exposure to commodity price risk arising in normal trading and commercial activities in view of achieving stable economic results. In order to manage commodity price risk, through the trading unit of Eni Trading & Shipping which manages business lines’ risk exposures to commodities, pooling and optimizing Group companies’ exposures and hedging net exposures on the trading venues, Eni uses derivatives traded on the organized markets MTF, OTF and derivatives traded over the counter (swaps, forward, contracts for differences and options on commodities) with the underlying commodities being crude oil, gas, refined products, electricity or emission certificates. Such derivatives are evaluated at fair value based on market

 

 

 

 Eni Interim Report73 
 Notes to the Financial Statements 

 

prices provided from specialized sources or, absent market prices, on the basis of estimates provided by brokers or suitable valuation techniques. VaR deriving from commodity exposure is measured daily based on a historical simulation technique, with a 95% confidence level and a one-day holding period.

 

Market risk — Strategic liquidity

 

Market risk deriving from liquidity management is identified as the possibility that changes in prices of financial instruments (bonds, money market instruments and mutual funds) would affect the value of these instruments when evaluated at fair value. In order to manage the investment activity of the strategic liquidity, Eni defined a specific investment policy with aims and constraints in terms of financial activities and operational boundaries, as well as Governance guidelines regulating management and control systems. The setting up and maintenance of the liquidity reserve is mainly aimed to: (i) guarantee of financial flexibility. Liquidity should allow Eni Group to fund any extraordinary need (such as difficulty in access to credit, exogenous shock, macroeconomic environment, as well as merger and acquisitions); and (ii) ensure a full coverage of short-term debts and a coverage of medium and long-term financial debts due within a time horizon of 24 months, even in case of restrictions to credit. Strategic liquidity management is regulated in terms of VaR (measured based on a parametrical methodology with a one-day holding period and a 99% confidence level), stop loss and other operating limits in terms of concentration, duration, ratings, liquidity and instruments to invest on. Financial leverage or short selling is not allowed. Activities in terms of strategic liquidity management started in the second half of the year 2013 (Portfolio Eur) and 2017 (Portfolio USD). In the years 2014 and 2015, the portfolio Eur maintained an average credit rating of A/A-; in the years 2016-2017 an average credit rating of A-/BBB+ (decrease of one notch); in the first half of 2018, an average credit rating of A-/BBB+. In the first half of 2018, the portfolio USD maintained an average credit rating of A+/A in line with the year 2017, with a notch higher than the Eni’s rating (A3 Moody’s).

 

The following tables show the amounts in terms of VaR, recorded in first half 2018 (compared with the year 2017) relating to interest rate and exchange rate risks in the first section and commodity risk in the second (aggregated by type of exposure).

Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the potential exposure of the Group to losses in case counterparties fail to perform or pay amounts due. The Group manages differently credit risk depending on whether credit risk arises from exposure to financial counterparties or to customers relating to outstanding receivables. Individual business units and Eni’s corporate financial and accounting units are responsible for managing credit risk arising in the normal course of the business. The Group has established formal credit systems and processes to ensure that before trading with a new counterpart can start, its creditworthiness is assessed. In addition, credit litigation and receivable collection activities are assessed. Eni’s corporate units define directions and methods for quantifying and controlling customer’s reliability. With regard to risk arising from financial counterparties deriving from current and strategic use of liquidity, Eni has established guidelines prior to entering into cash management and derivative contracts to assess the counterparty’s financial soundness and rating in view of optimizing the risk profile of financial activities while pursuing operational targets. Maximum limits of risk exposure are set in terms of maximum amounts of credit exposures for categories of counterparties as defined by the Company’s Board of Directors taking into account the credit ratings provided by primary credit rating agencies on the marketplace. Credit risk arising from financial counterparties is managed by the Group operating finance department, including Eni’s subsidiary Eni Trading & Shipping which specifically engages in commodity derivatives transactions and by Group companies and Divisions, only in the case of physical transactions with financial counterparties consistently with the Group centralized finance model. Eligible financial counterparties are closely monitored to check exposures against limits assigned to each counterparty on a daily basis.

 

Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that suitable sources of funding for the Group may not be available, or the Group is unable to sell its assets on the marketplace in order to meet short-term finance requirements and to settle obligations. Such situation would negatively affect Group results, as it would result in the Company incurring higher borrowing expenses to meet its obligations or under the worst of conditions the inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

The Group risk management is mainly aimed to maintain a suitable amount of financial resources available to cope with exogenous shocks (drastic changes of the scenario, restrictions in access to capital markets) or to ensure a suitable level of operational flexibility in the group's development plans. For this purpose, Eni holds a significant amount of liquidity reserve consisting of short-term marketable financial instruments with high liquidity, favouring investments with very low risk profile.

 

At present, the Group believes to have access to sufficient funding to meet the current foreseeable borrowing requirements as a consequence of the availability of financial assets and lines of credit and the access to a wide range of funding at competitive costs through the credit system and capital markets.

 

Eni has in place a program for the issuance of Euro Medium Term Notes up to €20 billion, of which about €16.2 billion were drawn as of June 30, 2018.

 

The Group has credit ratings of BBB+ outlook positive and A-2, respectively for long and short-term debt, assigned by Standard & Poor’s and A3 outlook rating under review and P-2, respectively for long and short-term debt, assigned by Moody’s. Eni’s credit rating is linked in addition to the Company’s industrial fundamentals and trends in the trading environment to the sovereign credit rating of Italy. Based on the methodologies used by Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s, a downgrade of Italy’s credit rating may trigger a potential knock-on effect on the credit rating of Italian issuers such as Eni.

Legal Proceedings

 

Eni is a party to a number of civil actions and administrative arbitral and other judicial proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Based on information available to date, and taking into account the existing risk provisions and that, in some cases, it is not possible to have a reliable estimate of the liability, Eni believes that the foregoing will likely not have a material adverse effect on Eni’s Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition to the amounts represented in note 21 - Provisions for risks and charges, the following paragraphs summarize the most significant proceedings started in the first half of 2018 and the proceedings that had further developments compared to the Annual Report 2017. For a description of the other proceedings in which Eni is involved and the related provisions accrued, see the relevant paragraph of the Annual Report 2017.

 

1. Environment, health and safety

 

1.1 Criminal proceedings in the matters of environment, health and safety

 

(i) Raffineria di Gela SpA and Eni Mediterranea Idrocarburi SpA – Waste management of the landfill Camastra. During the first half of 2018, the Eni subsidiaries Raffineria di Gela SpA and Eni Mediterranea Idrocarburi SpA were notified by the Public Prosecutor of Palermo (Sicily) of a notice of conclusion of preliminary investigations relating allegations of unlawful disposal of industrial waste deriving from the reclaiming activities of soil, which were discharged at a landfill owned by a third party in 2014. The Prosecutor charged the alleged crime against the then chief executive officers of the two subsidiaries, whereas the legal entities have been charged with the liability established by Law Decree 231/2001 that considers companies liable for the crimes committed by their employees acting on their behalf. The alleged wrongdoing related to the willful falsification of the waste certification for purpose of discharging at the landfill.

 

(ii) Syndial SpA - Environmental disaster at Ferrandina. During the first half of 2018, an Italian Public Prosecutor commenced a criminal proceeding against a manager of the Eni subsidiary Syndial based on allegations of unlawful handling of waste and environmental disaster as part of the reclaiming activities performed at an industrial site (Ferrandina/Pisticci in the southern of Italy). The charge related to an alleged spillover of effluent in the subsoil and then in a nearby river due to a damaged pipe dedicated to the transportation of effluent to a disposal plant owned by a third party. Following an interrogatory of the alleged guilty party, the prosecutor resolved to request the indictment of the manager. The proceeding is awaiting the scheduling of the preliminary hearing where a judge is expected to decide on the request of the public prosecutor.

 

1.2 Civil and administrative proceedings in the matters of environment, health and safety

 

(i) Claim for preventive technical inquiry — Court of Gela. In February 2012, Eni’s subsidiaries Raffineria di Gela SpA and Syndial SpA and the parent company Eni SpA (involved in this matter through the operations of the Refining & Marketing Division) were notified of a claim issued by parents of children born malformed in the Municipality of Gela between 1992 and 2007. The claim for preventive technical inquiry aimed at verifying the relation of causality between the malformation pathologies suffered by the children of the plaintiffs and the environmental pollution caused by the Gela site (pollution that would be derived from activities conducted at the industrial plant by Raffineria di Gela SpA and Syndial SpA), quantifying the alleged damages suffered and eventually identifying the terms and conditions to settle the claim. In any case, the same issue was the subject of previous criminal proceedings, of which one closed without ascertainment of any illicit behavior on the part of Eni or its subsidiaries, while a further criminal proceeding is still pending. The consultants appointed by the Court and those designated by the plaintiffs performed a technical appraisal on the matter, reaching very different outcomes. Thus, parties failed to reach a settlement of the matter. On December 2015, the three companies involved were sued in relation to a total of 30 cases of compensation for damages in civil proceedings. The proceedings are still pending at the preliminary stage. In May 2018 the Court issued a preliminary ruling regarding one claim. The Judge rejected the claim for compensation, recognizing the soundness of the defendants’ arguments about lack of proof on the existence of a cause-effect relationship between the pathologies and the alleged pollution originating from the hub industrial activities.

2. Proceedings concerning criminal/administrative corporate responsibility

 

(i) Algeria. Legal proceedings are pending in Italy and outside Italy in connection with an allegation of corruption relating to the award of certain contracts to Eni’s former subsidiary Saipem in Algeria. In February 2011, Eni received from the Public Prosecutor of Milan an information request pursuant to the Italian Code of Criminal Procedure. The request related to allegations of international corruption and pertained to certain activities performed by Saipem Group companies in Algeria (in particular the contract between Saipem and Sonatrach relating to the construction of the GK3 gas pipeline and the contract between Galsi, Saipem and Technip relating to the engineering of the ground section of a gas pipeline). The crime of international corruption is among the offenses contemplated by the Italian Legislative Decree No. 231/2001 which provides for corporate liability for crimes committed by employees and prescribes punishments including fines and the disgorgement of profit. Eni also voluntarily provided to the Public Prosecutor documentation relating to the MLE project (in which Eni’s Exploration & Production Division participates), with respect to which investigations in Algeria are ongoing. In November 2012, the Public Prosecutor served Saipem a notice stating that it had commenced an investigation for alleged liability of the company for international corruption in accordance with Legislative Decree No. 231/2001. Furthermore, the Public Prosecutor requested the production of certain documents relating to certain activities in Algeria. Afterwards Saipem was served a notice of seizure, then a request for documentation and finally a search warrant was issued, in order to obtain further documentation, in particular relating to certain intermediary contracts and sub-contracts entered into by Saipem in connection with its Algerian business. Several former Saipem employees were also involved in the proceeding, including the former CEO of Saipem, who resigned from the office in December of 2012, and the former Chief Operating Officer of the Business Unit Engineering & Construction of Saipem, the employment of whom was terminated at the beginning of 2013. In February 2013, on mandate from the Public Prosecutor of Milan, the Italian Finance Police visited Eni’s headquarters in Rome and San Donato Milanese and executed searches and seized documents relating to Saipem’s activity in Algeria. On the same occasion, Eni was served a notice that an investigation had commenced in accordance with Legislative Decree No. 231/2001 with respect to Eni, Eni’s former CEO, Eni’s former CFO and another senior manager. Eni’s former CFO had previously served as Saipem’s CFO, including during the period in which alleged corruption took place and before being appointed as CFO of Eni on August 1, 2008. Following receipt of this notice, Eni conducted an internal investigation with the assistance of external consultants, in addition to the review activities performed by its audit and internal control departments and a team dedicated to the Algerian matters. During 2013, the external consultants reached the following results: (i) the review of the documents seized by the Milan prosecutors and the examination of internal records held by Eni’s global procurement department have not found any evidence that Eni entered into intermediary or any other contractual arrangements with the third parties involved in the prosecutors’ investigation; and (ii) the internal review made on the MLE project, the only project that Eni understands to be under the prosecutors’ investigation where the client is a Eni Group company has not found evidence that any Eni employee engaged in wrongdoing in connection with the award to Saipem of two main contracts to execute the project (EPC and Drilling). Furthermore, in 2014, with the assistance of external consultants, Eni completed a review of the extent of its operating control over Saipem with regard to both legal, accounting and administrative issues. The findings of that review confirmed the autonomy of Saipem from the parent company during the relevant periods. The findings of Eni’s internal review have been provided to the Judicial Authority in order to reaffirm Eni’s willingness to fully cooperate. In January 2015, the Public Prosecutor notified the conclusion of preliminary investigations relating to Eni, Saipem and eight persons (including, the former CEO and CFO of Eni and the Chief Upstream Officer of Eni who was responsible for Eni Exploration & Production activities in North Africa at the time of the events under investigation). The Public Prosecutor issued a notice of alleged international corruption against all such persons (including Eni and Saipem on the basis of the provisions of Legislative Decree No. 231/2001) in connection with the entry into intermediary contracts by Saipem in Algeria. Furthermore, some of the defendants (including the former CEO and CFO of Eni and the Chief Upstream Officer of Eni) were accused of tax offenses for alleged fraudulent misrepresentation in relation to the accounting treatment of these contracts for the fiscal years 2009 and 2010. After receiving (i) the evidence collected in connection with the Public Prosecutor’s request to take testimony of two individuals under investigation in late 2014, and (ii)

 

 

 

 Eni Interim Report79 
 Notes to the Financial Statements 

 

the minutes of the preliminary hearing and the documents filed in connection with the conclusion of the preliminary investigation, Eni requested that its consultants perform additional analysis and investigation. As a result, Eni’s consultants reaffirmed their conclusions previously reported to the Company. In February 2015, the Public Prosecutor requested the indictment of all the investigated persons for international corruption as well as the tax offenses mentioned above. In 2015, the Judge for the Preliminary Hearing of the Court of Milan dismissed the case and granted an acquittal in favor of Eni, former Chief Executive Officer and Chief Upstream Officer for all the alleged offenses. In February 2016, the Court of Third Instance, upholding an appeal presented by the Public Prosecutor, reversed the dismissal, annulled the verdict, and remanded the proceedings to another Judge for the Preliminary Hearing in the Court of Milan. As a result of the new preliminary hearing in July 2016, the Judge ordered the trial for all defendants, including Eni. At the hearing of February 2018, the Public Prosecutor, concluding his indictment, requested — among other things — the conviction of Eni for the payment of a monetary sanction. The Judge, having completed the discussion of the arguments of the defense, has scheduled new hearings to be held in September 2018 for response by the public prosecutor, based on which outcome the Judge is expected to issue a first-degree sentence.

 

At the end of 2012, Eni contacted the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. SEC in order to voluntarily inform them about this matter, and has kept them informed about the developments in the Italian prosecutors’ investigations. Following Eni’s notification in 2012, both the U.S. SEC and the DoJ started their own investigations regarding this matter. Eni has furnished various information and documents, including the findings of its internal reviews, in response to formal and informal requests.

 

(ii) Block OPL 245 — Nigeria. In July 2014, the Public Prosecutor of Milan served Eni with a notice of investigation relating to potential liability on the part of Eni arising from alleged international corruption, pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree No. 231/2001 whereby companies are liable for the crimes committed by their employees when performing their tasks. As part of the investigation, Eni was also subpoenaed for documents and other evidence. According to the subpoena, the proceeding was commenced following a claim filed by NGO ReCommon relating to alleged corruptive practices that according to the Public Prosecutor allegedly involved the Resolution Agreement made on April 29, 2011 relating to the Oil Prospecting License of the offshore oilfield that was discovered in Block 245 in Nigeria. Eni fully cooperated with the Public Prosecutor and promptly filed the requested documentation. Furthermore, Eni voluntarily reported the matter to the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. SEC. In July 2014, Eni’s Board of Statutory Auditors jointly with the Eni Watch Structure resolved to engage an independent, US-based law firm, expert in anticorruption, to conduct a forensic, independent review of the matter, upon informing the Judicial Authorities. After reviewing the matter, the US lawyers concluded in summary that they detected no evidence of wrongdoing by Eni side in relation to the 2011 transaction with the Nigerian government for the acquisition of the OPL 245 license. The outcome of this review was transmitted to the Judicial Authorities. In September 2014, the Public Prosecutor notified Eni of a restraining order issued by a British judge who ordered the seizure of a bank account not pertaining to Eni domiciled at a British bank following a request from the Public Prosecutor. The order was also notified to certain individuals, including Eni’s CEO and the Chief Development, Operations and Technological Officer, as well as Eni’s former CEO. From the available documents, it was inferred that such Eni officers and former officers were under investigation by the Public Prosecutor of Milan. During a hearing before a court in London in September 2014, Eni and its current executive officers stated their non-involvement in the matter regarding the seized bank account. Following the hearing, the Court reaffirmed the seizure. In December 2016, the Public Prosecutor of Milan notified Eni of the conclusion of the preliminary investigation and requested the indictment of Eni’s CEO, the Chief Development, Operations and Technological Officer and the Executive Vice President for international negotiations, as well as Eni’s former CEO and Eni based on Italian law 231/2001 on corporate entity responsibility. Upon the notification to Eni of the conclusion of the preliminary investigation by the Public Prosecutor, the independent US-based law firm was requested to assess whether the new documentation made available from Italian prosecutors could modify the conclusions of the prior review. The US law firm was also provided with the documentation filed in the Nigerian proceeding mentioned below. The independent U.S. law firm concluded that the reappraisal of the matter in light of the new documentations available did not alter the outcome of the prior review. In December 2017, the Judge ordered the indictment of all the parties mentioned above, and other parties under investigation by the Public

Prosecutor, before the Court of Milan. At the hearing of May 2018, a Non-Governmental Organization, Assoconsum, requested to be recognized as claimant in the proceeding. At the subsequent hearing in June 2018, the new attorney of the Federal Government of Nigeria reiterated the request for the recognition as claimants of all recurring parties. At the same time, the attorney requested that Eni and Shell be recognized as defendants. Furthermore, also a shareholders of Eni requested to be recognized as claimant. The Court resolved that Eni and Shell would be summoned and rescheduled to another hearing the decision about the recognition of the claimants in the proceeding. At the hearing of July 20, 2018, the Judge rejected the request made by the NGOs to act in the proceeding as plaintiffs. Also the same request made by a shareholder of Eni was rejected. The judge postponed to another hearing the decision of holding the two legal entities Eni and Shell responsible for damage.

 

In January 2017, Eni’s subsidiary Nigerian Agip Exploration Ltd (NAE) became aware of an Interim Order of Attachment (“Order”) issued by the Nigerian Federal High Court upon request from the Nigerian Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), attaching temporarily the property known as Oil Prospecting License 245 (“OPL 245”) pending a proceeding in Nigeria relating to alleged corruption and money laundering. In March 2017, the Nigerian Court upheld the appeal filed by NAE and its partner and revoked the Order. Eni provided a copy of the Order and the attached documents, including the charges filed by the EFCC, to the US-based law firm engaged to review the OPL 245 transaction, who upon review of such documents, did not modify their conclusion that they did not detect evidence of wrongdoing by Eni side in relation to the acquisition of the OPL 245 from the Nigerian government.

 

(iii) Congo. In March 2017, the Italian Finance Police served on Eni an information request pursuant to the Italian Code of Criminal Procedure connection with an investigative file opened by the Public Prosecutor of Milan against unknown persons. The request related in particular to the agreements signed by Eni Congo SA with the Ministry of Hydrocarbons of the Republic of Congo in 2013, 2014 and 2015 in relation to exploration, development and production activities concerning certain permits held by Eni Congo SA for Congolese projects and Eni’s relationships with Congolese companies with which ENI is in partnership. In July 2017, the Italian Financial Police, on behalf of the Public Prosecutor of Milan, served on Eni with another information request and a notice of investigation pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree No. 231/2001 for alleged international corruption. The request expressly stated that it was based in part on the March 2017 information request and concerned the relationship of Eni and its subsidiaries with certain third-party companies from 2012 to the present. Eni has produced all of the documentation requested in the March and July 2017 information requests and has voluntarily disclosed this matter to the relevant US authorities (SEC and DoJ). On January 26, 2018, the Public Prosecutor’s Office requested a six-months extension of the deadline for conducting its preliminary investigation into this matter, from January 31, 2018 until July 30, 2018. Subsequently in July 2018, the Public Prosecutor requested a second extension until February 28, 2019. In April 2018, the Public Prosecutor of Milan served on Eni SpA a further request for documentation and notified the Chief Development, Operation & Technology Officer of a search order in which he results among the suspects together with another Eni employee. On June 4 2018, the Italian market regulator, CONSOB, requested information about the above mentioned proceeding to Eni and its Board of Statutory Auditors, based on the inspecting power set by article 115, line 1 of Law Decree 58/1998, the Italian comprehensive law on securities and exchanges. Specifically, Eni was requested to furnish information about the Congo investigations and the action implemented by the Company and any eventual outcome, including specific audit activities performed by the Company’s staff and any task assigned to external parties to review the ongoing investigations. The Company was also requested to transmit support evidence and documentation. The Eni Board of Statutory Auditors was requested to furnish pieces of information about the monitoring activity performed on the investigations. The Company and its Board of Statutory Auditors answered the request of information on June 11 and 13, 2018, respectively.

 

3. Other proceedings concerning criminal matters

 

(i) Eni SpA — Refining & Marketing Division — Criminal proceedings on fuel excise tax. A criminal proceeding is currently pending, relating to alleged evasion of excise taxes in the context of the retail sales at the fuel market. In particular, the claim states that the quantity of oil products marketed by Eni was larger than the quantity subjected to the excise tax. This proceeding (no. 7320/2014 RGNR) concerns

 

 

 

 Eni Interim Report81 
 Notes to the Financial Statements 

 

the reunification of three distinct investigations: (i) a first proceeding, opened by the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Frosinone involved a company (Turrizziani Petroli) purchaser of Eni’s fuel. This investigation was subsequently extended to Eni. The Company fully cooperated and provided all data and information concerning the excise tax obligations for the quantities of fuel coming from the storage sites of Gaeta, Naples and Livorno. Eni ensured the best possible collaboration, handing in all the required documentation. Such proceeding referred to quantities of oil products sold by Eni, allegedly larger than the quantity subjected to the excise tax. After the ending of the investigation, the financial police of Frosinone, along with the local Customs Agency, in November 2013 issued a claim related to the missing payment of excise taxes in the 2007 – 2012 period for €1.55 million. In May 2014, the Customs Agency of Rome issued a payment notice relating to the abovementioned claim that was filed by the financial police and Customs Agency of Frosinone. The Company immediately appealed to the Tributary Commission. On March 22, 2018, the Commission filed the ruling of the sentence which accepted Eni’s recourse against the claim of the Custom Agency also condemning the latter to refund the proceeding expenses; (ii) a second proceeding concerning a line of investigation of the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Prato, regards the deposit of Calenzano and relates to subtraction of fuel through manipulation of the fuel dispensers, subsequently extended also to the Refinery of Stagno (Livorno); (iii) a third proceeding, opened by the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Rome, regarded alleged missing payment of excise tax on the surplus of the unloading products, as the quantity of such products was larger than the quantity reported in the supporting fiscal documents. This proceeding represents a development of the first proceeding mentioned above, and substantially concerns similar facts presenting, however, some differences with regard to the nature of the alleged crimes and the responsibility subjected to verification. The second and the third proceeding were merged in the proceeding commenced by Public Prosecutor’s Office of Rome. In fact, the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Rome has alleged the existence of a criminal conspiracy aimed at habitual subtraction of oil products at all of the 22 storage sites which are operated by Eni over the national territory. Eni is cooperating with the Prosecutor in order to defend the correctness of its operation. On September 2014, a search was conducted at the office of the former chief operating officer of Eni’s Refining & Marketing Division following an order of the Public Prosecutor of Rome. The motivations of the search are the same as the above-mentioned proceeding as the ongoing investigations also relates to a period of time when the officer was in charge at Eni’s Division. On March 2015, the Prosecutor of Rome ordered a search at all the storage sites of Eni’s network in Italy as part of the same proceeding. The search was intended to verify the existence of fraudulent practices aimed at tampering with measuring systems functional to the tax compliance of excise duties in relation to fuel handling at the storage sites. In September 2015, the Public Prosecutor of Rome requested a one-off technical appraisal aimed to verify the compliance of the software installed at certain metric heads previously seized with those lodged by the manufacturer at the Ministry of Economic Development. The technical appraisal verified the compliance of the software tested. On this occasion, the proceeding has been extended to a large number of employees and former employees of the company. In November 2017, the Court of Rome, following the request of the Public Prosecutor, carried out a preventive seizure of the oil products meters at Eni’s refineries and depots in Italy. The Company, considering the consequences connected to a complete shutdown of the refining and fueling activities, has requested the Public Prosecutor to minimize, as much as possible, the impact on customers, companies and service stations. After a few days, the preventive seizure was revoked, due to the commitments undertaken by the Company that is a third party not subject to investigation. Eni continues to provide full cooperation to the judicial authorities. In December 2017, technical consultants of renowned expertise were nominated as part of the procedure, with the aim of verify the integrity of the sites under seizure. The results will be provided to the judicial authorities. The investigations are underway. On March 2018, the Public Prosecutor of Rome notified the conclusion of the preliminary investigations in relation to the criminal proceeding no. 7320/2014 concerning the Calenzano, Livorno, Sannazzaro, Pomezia, Naples, Gaeta and Ortona sites. Based on the outcome of the investigations, as far as Eni is concerned, the proceeding involves former managers and the directors of the refineries of Collesalvetti (Livorno) and Sannazzaro concerning alleged aggravated and continuous non-payment of excise duties, alteration and removal of seals, use and possession of false measures and weights. In addition, some deposit employees and their manager were indicted of alleged procedural fraud. The attorneys of the defendants delivered certain documentations and requested the public prosecutor to dismiss the case to the benefit of the managers of the Sannazzaro and Livorno refineries as well as the other Eni’s employees involved in the alleged crimes relating the Calenzano storage site.

 Notes to the Financial Statements 

 

In April 2018 as part of the administrative proceeding intended to collect taxes allegedly not paid by Eni, the tax police of Rome based on the findings of the investigations performed by the prosecutors of Frosinone, Prato and Rome issued a statement of objection against the Company claiming the missed payment of excise taxes due for the years 2008 up to 2017 for €34 million, as well as the related higher corporate profits before income taxes leading to the claim of additional taxes for €22 million related to income taxes and VAT. The Custom Agency that is in charge of issuing the notice of payment may also impose a fine and the recognition of interest expense. A part of the litigation, for which omitted payment is disputed, relates to the same transactions successfully challenged by the Company against the Tributary Commission of Rome. The Company will appeal at the appropriate forum. Eni accrued a provision with respect to this proceeding.

 

(ii) Public Prosecutor of Milan — Criminal Procedure no. 12333/2017. On 6 February 2018, the Public Prosecutor of Milan notified to an Eni’s manager a search and seizure decree in relation to allegations of associative crime aimed at slander and at reporting false information to a Public Prosecutor. In the decree, the Prosecutor of Milan included, among the other suspects, the former Chief of the Legal and Regulatory Affairs of Eni, currently the Chief Gas & LNG Marketing and Power Officer of the Company. According to the decree, the association would be aimed at interfering with the judicial activity in certain criminal proceedings that involve, among others, Eni and some of its directors and managers. Furthermore, Eni is not under investigation. On June 4 2018, the Italian market regulator, CONSOB, requested information about the above mentioned proceeding to Eni and its Board of Statutory Auditors, based on its inspecting power set by article 115, line 1 of Law Decree 58/1998, the Italian comprehensive law on securities and exchanges. Specifically, Eni was requested to furnish information about the task of performing a forensic review of the matter, which was assigned to an independent third party and any support documentation, as well as about any other initiative effected by the Company and its bodies on this matter. The Eni Board of Statutory Auditors was requested to furnish pieces of information about the information exchange with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding this matter and the review activities performed by the latter, as well as an update about any further monitoring activity that the Board is planning to execute. The Company and its Board of Statutory Auditors answered the request of information on June 11 and 13 2018, respectively. Then, on June 13 2018, Eni was notified of a request of transmitting certain documentation based on the provision of the Italian penal code. The request targeted evidence and documents relating the internal audit performed by the Company and any possible external review concerning certain tasks that were assigned to an external lawyer with respect to Eni. This lawyer appears to be investigated as part of this proceeding.

  34    Earnings per share

 

Basic earnings per ordinary share are calculated by dividing net profit for the period attributable to Eni’s shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares issued and outstanding during the period, excluding treasury shares.

 

The weighted average number of ordinary shares used for the calculation of the basic earnings per share was 3,601,140,133 (same amount in the first half of 2017).

 

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit of the period attributable to Eni’s shareholders by the weighted average number of shares fully-diluted including shares outstanding in the year and the number of potential shares to be issued in connection with stock-based compensation plans.

 

 

 

 Eni Interim Report87 
 Notes to the Financial Statements 

 

As of June 30, 2018, the shares that could potentially be issued were estimated in connection with the vesting performance conditions of the long-term incentive plan. The weighted average number of the outstanding shares used for calculating the diluted earnings per share is 1,525,528 for the first half of 2018. In the first half of 2017, there were no potential shares with dilutive effects.

 

Reconciliation of the weighted average number of shares used for the calculation for both basic and diluted earnings per share was as follows:

  35    Information by industry segment

 

Eni’s segmental reporting is established based on the Group’s operating segments that are evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (the CEO) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

 

The main key financial information of the operating segments to be reported to the CEO are revenues, operating income, assets and liabilities directly attributable.

 

As of June 30, 2018, Eni’s reportable segments are organized as follows:

 

Exploration & Production: is engaged in exploring for and recovering crude oil and natural gas, including participation to projects for the liquefaction of natural gas;

 

Gas & Power: is engaged in supply and marketing of natural gas at wholesale and retail markets, supply and marketing of LNG and supply, production and marketing of power at retail and wholesale markets. The Gas & Power segment is engaged in supply and marketing of crude oil and oil products targeting the operational requirements of Eni’s refining business and in commodity trading (including crude oil, natural gas, oil products, power, emission allowances, etc.) targeting to both hedge and stabilize the Group industrial and commercial margins according to an integrated view and to optimize margins.

 

Refining & Marketing and Chemical: is engaged in manufacturing, supply, distribution and marketing activities of oil products and chemicals. The results of the Chemicals business have been aggregated to those of the Refining & Marketing business in a single reportable segment, because these two operating segments exhibit similar economic characteristics.

 

Corporate and other activities: represents the key support functions, comprising holdings and treasury, headquarters, central functions like IT, HR, real estate, self-insurance activities, as well as the Group environmental clean-up and remediation activities performed by the subsidiary Syndial. The Energy Solutions Department, which engages in developing the business of renewable energy, is an operating segment that is reported within Corporate and other activities because it does not meet the materiality threshold for separate segment reporting as provided for by IFRS 8.

  36    Transactions with related parties

 

In the ordinary course of its business, Eni enters into transactions regarding:

 

(a)exchanges of goods, provision of services and financing with joint ventures, associates and unconsolidated subsidiaries;

(b)exchanges of goods and provision of services with entities controlled by the Italian Government;

(c)exchanges of goods and services with entities that are related parties of Eni SpA through members of the Board of Directors. The majority of these transactions are exempt from the application of the Eni internal regulation "Transactions with interests of directors and statutory auditors and transactions with related parties", issued pursuant to Consob regulations, since they are ordinary transactions concluded at market or standard conditions, or because they are below the minimum threshold set by the internal regulation. The only transaction that is not exempt, which was therefore examined and evaluated favourably under the internal regulation, is the relationship for branding and advertising services (for an amount less than €1 million) between Eni SpA and Vodafone Italia SpA, which is a related party of eni SpA due to a member of the Board of Directors;

(d)contributions to entities with a non-company form with the aim to develop solidarity, culture and research initiatives. In particular these related to: (i) Eni Foundation established by Eni as a non-profit entity with the aim of pursuing exclusively solidarity initiatives in the fields of social

Review report on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements

(Translation from the original Italian text)

 

To the Shareholders of

Eni S.p.A.

 

Introduction

 

We have reviewed the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, comprising the balance sheet, the profit and loss account, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity, the statement of cash flows and the related explanatory notes of Eni S.p.A. and its subsidiaries (the “Eni Group”) as of 30 June 2018. The Directors of Eni S.p.A. are responsible for the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with the International Financial Reporting Standard applicable to interim financial reporting (IAS 34) as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim condensed consolidated financial statements based on our review.

 

Scope of Review

 

We conducted our review in accordance with review standards recommended by Consob (the Italian Stock Exchange Regulatory Agency) in its Resolution no. 10867 of 31 July 1997. A review of interim condensed consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Conclusion

 

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Eni Group as of 30 June 2018 are not prepared, in all material respects, in conformity with the International Financial Reporting Standard applicable to interim financial reporting (IAS 34) as adopted by the European Union.

Subsidiaries, joint arrangements and affiliates resident in states with a privileged tax regime

 

The Law of 28 December 2015, no. 208 (Stability Law 2016), effective from 1 January 2016, amended the article no. 167, paragraph 4, of the Presidential Decree of 22 December 1986 no. 917, identifying all the tax regimes, even special, of states or territories to be considered as privileged with reference, exclusively, to a nominal level of taxation lower than 50 percent of the one applicable in Italy. Furthermore, the regimes of states or territories that are part of the European Union, or of states that are part of the European Economic Area that have concluded agreements with Italy ensuring an effective exchange of information are not considered as privileged. At June 30, 2018, Eni controls 10 companies based in states with a privileged tax regime as identified by article no. 167, paragraph 4 of

the Italian Income Tax Code. Of these 10 companies, 6 are subject to taxation in Italy because they are included in the tax return of Eni. The remaining 4 companies are not subject to Italian taxation, but to the specific local tax regimes, as a consequence of the exemption obtained by the Italian Revenue Agency by taking into account of the taxation level applied. Of these 10 companies, 8 come from the acquisitions of Lasmo Plc, the activities carried out in Congo by Maurel & Prom, Burren Energy Plc and Hess Indonesia. These subsidiaries, resident or located in states identified by the Decree, did not issued any financial instrument and all the financial statements for 2018 will be audited by Ernst & Young.
