Eni Interim Consolidated Report / Highlights

Results > In the first half of 2014 Eni reported net profit of euro 1.96 billion, up by 7.9% from the first half of the previous year. Adjusted results were up by 9% and 4.8% at the operating and net level at euro 6.22 billion and euro 2.06 billion, respectively. When excluding the exceptional loss made by Saipem in 2013, adjusted results were down by 3% and 8%, respectively.

- This result was driven by a sizeable improvement in the Gas & Power performance (up by approximately euro 1 billion) driven by the gas supply contracts renegotiation whereby the Company achieved to align about 60% of contracted volumes to market conditions and to downsize take-or-pay exposure, against the backdrop of continuing weak demand and strong competitive pressure.

- The Exploration & Production segment reported a decrease of 13.2% in adjusted operating profit due to lower production sold impacted mainly by geopolitical issues in Libya, higher depreciation charges taken in connection with the start-ups and ramp-ups of new fields by the second half of 2013 and the appreciation of the euro vs. the dollar (up 4.3%).

- Refining & Marketing and Versalis reported increasing operating losses, up by 42.6% and 25.5%, respectively, driven by weak fundamentals in their respective industries which were affected by slow recovery in the Euro-zone, excess capacity and increasing competitive pressure from product streams imported from Russia and Middle East, and higher prices of oil-based feedstock.

- Eni delivered robust cash flow1 at euro 5.74 billion. Asset divestments contributed euro 3 billion of cash, relating to the divestment of the interest in Artic Russia, which operates gas assets in Siberia, to certain Gazprom subsidiaries (euro 2.2 billion) and the sale of an 8% interest in Galp Energia (euro 0.8 billion).

- The cash inflows were used to fund capital expenditure of euro 5.52 billion, mainly focused on the exploration and development of hydrocarbon reserves, payment of the balance dividend 2013 to Eni’s shareholders (euro 2 billion) and the repurchase of the Eni’s shares (euro 0.2 billion). As of June 30, 2014, net borrowings amounted to euro 14.60 billion, down by euro 0.36 billion from December 31, 2013.

- Leverage decreased to 0.24 at June 30, 2014 with respect to 0.25 at December 31, 2013.

Interim dividend > In light of the financial results achieved in the first half of 2014 and management’s expectations for full-year results, the interim dividend proposal to the Board of Directors on September 17, 2014 will amount to euro 0.56 per share (euro 0.55 per share in 2013). The interim dividend is payable on September 25, 2014, with September 22, 2014 being the ex dividend date.

Rationalization of mid-downstream assets > As part of its strategy of rationalizing its mid-downstream portfolio, Eni signed preliminary agreements to sell its interest in the joint venture for marketing and transportation of gas in Germany, EnBw, as well as the retail networks in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Romania and the related interest in a local refinery. These transactions are subject to the approval of the competent European antitrust authorities.

Liquids and gas production > In the first half of 2014 Eni reported liquids and gas production of 1.583 million boe/d. Compared to the first half of the previous year, on a homogeneous basis, excluding the effects of the assets disposal in Siberia and geopolitical factors, production level remained substantially unchanged. Ramp-ups in the United Kingdom and Algeria were offset by mature fields’ declines.

Exploration successes > Exploration successes mainly achieved in Congo, Egypt and Nigeria added 420 million boe of fresh resources to the Company’s resource base. In addition, in July, Eni achieved a new important discovery offshore Gabon with a potential in place of 500 million boe.

New exploration acreage > Acquired new exploration acreage with high mineral potential in strategic basins of presence (Indonesia, Vietnam, Egypt, China and the United States) and in frontier areas

(Greenland) for a total acreage of 19,000 square kilometers (net to Eni), targeting to rejuvenate Eni’s mineral right portfolio and to ensure new growth options.

Natural gas sales > In the first half of 2014 natural gas sales amounted to 45.85 bcm, down by 6.9% from the first half of the previous year, reflecting unusual winter weather conditions and continuing weakness in the power generation segment which was also affected by excess hydroelectric production.

Agreement in Venezuela > Defined with PDVSA a Memorandum of Understanding providing a framework for the commercial development of liquids associated with the super-giant Perla field’s gas reserves.

Green chemistry and Bio-refining > In the first half of 2014 achieved the start-up of the Porto Torres green chemistry plant, in joint venture with Novamont, producing chemical products for industrial use from renewable raw materials. The target capacity of the plant is 70 ktonnes/year of bio-monomers and intermediates. At the Venice refinery, achieved the start-up of the new production line of Green Diesel, with target capacity of approximately 300 ktonnes/year.

Safety > In the first half of 2014 the employees’ injury frequency rate was affected by a slightly higher number of incidents reported in the Exploration & Production, Refining & Marketing and Engineering & Construction segments. Total number of injuries increased to 48, from 42 of the first half of 2013. In the first six months of 2014, the communication and training program "eni in safety" and the "zero fatalities" project went on, in order to face critical issues of injuries.

GHG emissions > GHG emissions decreased, reflecting lower operating performance, energy efficiency actions and projects on gas flaring reduction. In particular, flared hydrocarbon volumes decreased by 40% compared to the first half of 2013, following the start-ups of flaring down projects in Ogbaindiri and Akri (Nigeria) and M’Boundi (Congo).

Use of water in production process > A further improvement registered in the use of re-injected water in production in the Exploration & Production segment, with a water re-injection rate increasing to 57%.

Expenditure for the territory > The overall expenditure for the territory in the first half of 2014 amounted to euro 35.7 million, including community investment of euro 24.5 million (over 93% of which was spent in the Exploration & Production segment). Investments regarded mainly Kazakhstan, Nigeria, Italy and Congo.

Mineral right portfolio and exploration activities
As of June 30, 2014, Eni’s mineral right portfolio consisted of 958 exclusive or shared rights for exploration and development in 39 Countries on five continents for a total acreage of 287,581 square kilometers net to Eni (276,256 square kilometers net to Eni as of December 31, 2013).
In the first half of 2014, changes in total net acreage mainly derived from: (i) new leases mainly in Indonesia, Vietnam, Egypt, China, Greenland and the United States, and for a total acreage of approximately 19,000 square kilometers; (ii) the total relinquishment of licenses mainly in Egypt, Poland and Togo, covering an acreage of approximately 8,000 square kilometers; (iii) partial relinquishment in Indonesia and Egypt for approximately 1,000 square kilometers.
In addition, Eni has been granted three prospection permits in Algeria for a net acreage of approximately 23,000 square kilometers.
In the first half of 2014, a total of 22 new exploratory wells were drilled (11.3 of which represented Eni’s share), as compared to 28 exploratory wells drilled in the first half of 2013 (15 of which represented Eni’s share).

Oil and gas production
In the first half of 2014, Eni’s liquids and gas production was 1.583 million boe/d. On a homogeneous basis, excluding the effects of the divestment of Eni’s interest in certain gas assets in Siberia effective from the beginning of the year, as well as the negative impact of geopolitical factors, production was broadly in line compared to the first half of 2013. Production ramp-ups mainly in the United Kingdom and

Algeria were offset by mature fields declines. The share of oil and natural gas produced outside Italy was 89%.

Liquids production (817 kbbl/d) decreased by 15 kbbl/d, or 1.8%, reflecting lower production volumes in Libya and Angola and the effect of the divestment of the Siberian assets. These negatives were partly offset by new field start-ups and ramp-ups mainly in the United Kingdom, Algeria and the United States.

Natural gas production (4,208 mmcf/d), when excluding the effect of the divestment of the Siberian assets, was in line with the same period of the previous year. Mature fields declines were offset by new field start-ups and ramp-ups.

Oil and gas production sold amounted to 267.7 mmboe. The 18.9 mmboe difference over production (286.6 mmboe) reflected mainly volumes of natural gas consumed in operations (15.8 mmboe).

Eni Interim Consolidated Report / Operating review

Main exploration and development projects
     

Italy

In the Val d’Agri concession (Eni’s interest 60.77%), the development plan of oil reserves is ongoing as agreed with the regional administrative authority in 1998: (i) the construction of a new gas treatment line has progressed, aiming at improving the environmental performance of the treatment unit and achieving a production capacity of 104 kbbl/d; (ii) an environmental monitoring plan is ongoing which management believes to be a best practice to safeguard the environment. Eni has also implemented a plan to preserve biodiversity in Val d'Agri adopting the best standards on the marketplace; (iii) continuing improvement and maintenance activities have progressed to optimize environmental and production performance of the field.
Other main development activities concerned: (i) the maintenance and production optimization at the Armida, Barbara, Cervia and Clara fields; (ii) the ongoing development activities of the Fauzia and Elettra fields in the Adriatic offshore.

Rest of Europe

Norway Exploration activities yielded positive results in the PL 532 license (Eni’s interest 30%) with the Drivis oil and gas discovery, in addition to the recent oil and gas discoveries of Skrugard, Havis and Skavl. The total recoverable resources of the license are estimated at over 600 million barrels at 100%.
Development activities progressed at the Goliat field (Eni operator with a 65% interest) in the Barents Sea. Start-up is expected in 2015, with a production plateau of approximately 62 kboe/d net to Eni in 2016. During the first half of 2014 the implementation of oil spill contingency and response progressed by means of the development of techniques and methodologies to support the oil spill preparedness program. The performed activity in the drilling phases has been acknowledged by the Norwegian Authorities as the reference standard for oil response in the coastal areas. The project was launched by Eni and its partner in the program jointly with the Norwegian Clean Seas Association for Operating Companies (NOFO) and involved other oil companies operating in the oil and gas exploration in the Barents Sea as well as local and international research institutes. The achieved results were presented to the Norwegian Environmental Agency, the local administrations and all stakeholders. These results reaffirmed that the Goliat project is characterized by a well-advance emergency system for the oil spill management, in terms of organization, consolidation of the emergency apparatus, as well as equipment and technology advancement.
Other ongoing activities aimed at maintaining and optimizing production at the Ekofisk field (Eni’s interest 12.39%) by means of drilling of infilling wells, upgrading of existing facilities and optimization of water injection.

United Kingdom Exploration activities yielded positive results with the Romeo North discovery, which has already been linked to the production platform of the Jade field (Eni’s interest 7%).
During the first half of 2014 Eni acquired Block 22/19c (Eni operator with a 50% interest) in the North Sea.
In April 2014 Eni acquired the operatorship of the Liverpool Bay assets with a 100% interest. Development programs include commitments on the education, health and environmental safety in the country.
Development activities mainly concerned the West Franklin field (Eni’s interest 21.87%) with the construction and installation of production platforms and linkage to nearby treatment facilities. Start-up is expected at the end of 2014.

North Africa

Algeria Development activities and production optimization progressed at the MLE-CAFC fields (Eni operator with a 75% interest). Project includes an additional oil development phase with start-up expected in 2017 and a production plateau of approximately 33 kboe/d net to Eni. Production ramp-up progressed at the El Merk field (Eni’s interest 12.25%) with the drilling of 23 additional productive wells and the construction of the NGL train. Production peak of 18 kboe/d net to Eni is expected in the year.

New initiatives In June 2014 Eni signed a strategic agreement with Kazakh state-owned company KazMunayGas (KMG) for the exploitation of exploration and production rights in Isatay, an offshore area of high potential located in the north Caspian Sea. KMG and Eni each will held 50% of exploration and production rights. The agreement also involves the construction of a shipyard project in Kuryk.

Kashagan During the course of 2014, the consortium performed a risk assessment of the technical issues which forced the joint venture to shut down production of the Kashagan field (Eni’s interest 16.81%) in October 2013, shortly after the production start-up. The findings of the assessment confirmed the necessity to fully replace the pipelines for transporting acid gas, where the inconvenient occurred. The operator is expected to make a cost estimation of the upgrade in due time. The partners of the consortium are making their best effort to restart production as soon as possible in compliance with the maximum safety standards.
The Phase 1 (Experimental Program) of the field development project targets an initial production capacity of 150 kbbl/d; by the time a second treatment offshore train and compression facilities for gas reinjection come online, production capacity is expected to increase up to 370 kbbl/d. The partners are planning to further increase available production capacity up to 450 kbbl/d by installing additional gas compression units for re-injecting gas in the reservoir. The partners submitted the scheme of this additional phase to the relevant Kazakh Authorities.
During the first half of 2014 the integrated program for the management of biodiversity in the Ural Delta (Ural River Park Project - URPP) was completed. The program was launched by Eni under the sponsorship of the Environment and Water Resources Kazakh Authority and aimed to protect the environment and ecosystems in the Caspian area. In June 2014 the project received an official UNESCO designation to be included in the Man and Biosphere Program.
An innovative environmental monitoring system was performed in the first half of 2014. The project designed by Eni provides for the application of a mobile underwater vehicle (AUV) able to realize an environmental monitoring and asset integrity at the production facility.
Within the agreements reached with the local authorities, Eni continues its training program for Kazakh resources management positions.

Power

Availability of electricity
In the first half of 2014, power generation was 9.64 TWh, down by 0.76 TWh, or 7.3% from the first half of 2013, mainly driven by a lower production at the Brindisi and Livorno plants due to a weak electricity demand. As of June 30, 2014, installed operational capacity was 4.8 GW (4.8 GW at December 31, 2013). Electricity trading declined by 1.09 TWh due to lower purchases related to the decline in demand.

Power sales
In the first half of 2014, electricity sales of 16 TWh were directed to the free market (75%), the Italian power exchange (13%), industrial sites (9%) and others (3%).
Compared to the first half of 2013, electricity sales were down by 1.85 TWh, or 10.4%, due to weaker electricity demand and excess production of hydroelectric energy. Lower volumes sold to wholesalers (down 1.27 TWh) and large clients (down 1.13 TWh) were partially offset by higher volumes traded on the Italian power exchange (up 0.65 TWh).

Refining
In the first half of 2014, Eni’s refining throughputs were 11.69 mmtonnes, down by 2.07 mmtonnes, or 15.1% from the first half of 2013. Volumes processed in Italy (down 19.1%) registered a decline from the same period of 2013 due to the shutdown of the Venice Refinery for the conversion in Green Refinery, the standstill of the Gela site, as well as the standstill of the Residue Hydroconversion Unit (RHU) at Taranto site to be converted in Hydrocracking.
Outside Italy, Eni’s refining throughputs increased by 0.12 mmtonnes (up 5.2%) in particular at CRC (Czech Republic) and PCK (Germany) sites due to planned standstills performed in 2013.
Total throughputs at refineries in Italy (9.57 mmtonnes) declined by 2.19 mmtonnes, or 18.6% from the first half of 2013. Utilization rate of refinery plants declined to 65.5% from the first half of the previous year (71.9%) driven by negative market trends. Approximately 24.1% of volumes of processed crude were supplied by Eni’s Exploration & Production segment (up by 2 percentage points from 22.1% in the first half of 2013).

Retail sales in Italy
In the first half of 2014, retail sales in Italy amounted to 3.05 mmtonnes, down by approximately 310 ktonnes, or 9.2% from the first half of 2013, due to lower consumption of all products. Eni’s retail market share for the first half of 2014 was 26.3%, down by 2.3 percentage points from the corresponding period of 2013 (28.6%).
At June 30, 2014, Eni’s retail network in Italy consisted of 4,724 service stations, 38 less than at December 31, 2013 (4,762 service stations), resulting from the closing of service stations with low

throughput (43 units) partly offset by the positive contribution of acquisitions/releases of lease concessions (5 service stations).
With reference to the promotional initiative "you&eni", the loyalty program for customers launched in February 2010 for a five year period, the cards that made at least one transaction in the period were approximately 1.7 million at June 30, 2014, of which approximately 902 thousand where represented by the new consumer payment cards. Volumes sold to customers cumulating points on their card were approximately 35% of total throughputs (net of "iperself" sales that do not allow to accumulate points).
Average throughput (754 kliters) decreased by approximately 86 kliters from the first half of 2013 (839 kliters), with a higher decline than domestic fuel consumption (down 10.1%) due to increased competitive pressure.

Retail sales in the Rest of Europe
Retail sales in the rest of Europe of approximately 1.49 mmtonnes were up by 2.1% (approximately 30 ktonnes) compared to the first half of 2013. Higher sales in Germany and Austria were offset by lower volumes in other European countries due to lower demand.
At June 30, 2014, Eni’s retail network in the rest of Europe consisted of 1,624 units, unchanged from December 31, 2013.
Average throughput (1,096 kliters) decreased by approximately 20 kliters from the first half of 2013 (1,117 kliters).

Wholesale and other sales
Wholesale sales in Italy amounted to 3.47 mmtonnes, down by approximately 0.47 mmtonnes, or 11.9% from the first half of the previous year, mainly due to lower sales of gasoil and fuel oil for bunkering.
Supplies of feedstock to the petrochemical industry (0.48 mmtonnes) declined by 23.2% related to lower feedstock supplies due to lower demand from industrial customers.
Wholesale sales in the rest of Europe were 2.18 mmtonnes, up by 7.7% from the first half of 2013 mainly in Austria, France and Hungary.
Other sales (6.46 mmtonnes) increased by 0.24 mmtonnes, or 3.9%, mainly due to higher sales volumes to oil companies.

 

Capital expenditure
In the first half of 2014, capital expenditure in the Refining & Marketing Division amounted to euro 229 million and regarded mainly: (i) refining, supply and logistics in Italy and outside Italy (euro 181 million), with projects designed to improve the conversion rate and flexibility of refineries, in particular the Sannazzaro refinery, as well as expenditures on health, safety and environmental upgrades; (ii) upgrade and rebranding of the refined product retail network in Italy (euro 33 million) and in the rest of Europe (euro 15 million).

Sales - production - prices
In the first half of 2014, sales of petrochemical products (1,852 ktonnes) decreased by 116 ktonnes, or 5.9% from the first half of 2013, due to weakness in commodity consumption, notwithstanding slight recovery in demand of polymers in the second quarter of 2014.
Declines in sales mainly related to olefins volumes marketed (in particular ethylene and butadiene, down by 53% and 44%, respectively) due to lower production availability as a result of the standstill of Porto Marghera plant, from the end of February, due to the negative scenario. Polymers sales were broadly unchanged from 2013.
Overall, average sales prices trended down by 2.2% from the first half of 2013, with different tendency in the various businesses: elastomers prices declined by 14%, due to increasing competition from Asian producers, stable the prices of styrene polymers and polyethylene, intermediates registered a slight decrease (down 2.3%).
Petrochemical production (2,801 ktonnes) decreased by 224 ktonnes, or 7.4% from the first half of 2013 mainly due to lower volumes of intermediates (down 12.2%) affected by the accidental standstill at the Brindisi plant as well as the above mentioned shutdown at Porto Marghera, and polyethylene (down 4.2%), due to the shutdown of the Priolo plant since September 2013. Elastomers production were down by 2.7%. Styrenics increased by 5%.
Nominal production capacity declined from the first half of 2013 due to rationalization measures, with an average plant utilization rate of 74%, calculated on nominal capacity (compared to 67.7% of the first half of 2013).

Business trends

Intermediates
In the first half of 2014, intermediates revenues (euro 1,235 million) were down by euro 183 million, or 12.9% from the first half of 2013 due to lower volumes sold (down 12%) mainly reflecting olefins sales (down 24%) as a result of lower product availability due to standstills of Brindisi and Porto Marghera plants. These negatives were partly offset by higher sales volumes of aromatics and derivatives (up 12% and 9%, respectively).
Average prices decreased by 2.3%, in particular average prices of aromatics were down by 11.4% driven by steep decline in xylene prices (down 17.8%) due to weak demand, prices of derivatives were down by 2.4%, unchanged prices of olefins due to higher propylene prices partially offset by lower ethylene and butadiene prices.
Intermediates production (1,588 ktonnes) decreased by the first half of 2013 (down by 220 ktonnes, or 12.2%) reflecting lower production of olefins and aromatics (down 16.3% and 15%, respectively) due to Porto Marghera and Brindisi standstills. Derivatives production reported an increase of 11%.

Polymers
Polymers revenues (euro 1,477 million) were down by euro 54 million, or 3.5% from the first half of 2013. This reflects decline in average prices of elastomers (down 14%) due to continuing weak demand in the automotive industry and competitive pressure from Asian producers. Average prices of polyethylene and styrene remained barely unchanged.
Elastomers sales were broadly in line with the first half of 2013, reflecting higher sales of thermoplastic rubbers (up 22.6%) and polyethylene due to higher sold volumes of HDPE (up 9%) and LLDPE (up 2%) following higher demand, as well as styrenics (up 0.6%) reflecting higher sales of expandable polystyrene (up 13%) due to the partial recovery in the construction and industrial packaging segments and ABS/SAN (up 9.4%). These positives were partly offset by lower sales of BR rubbers, NBR and lattices.
Polymers production (1,213 ktonnes) was barely unchanged from the first half of 2013 (down by 4 ktonnes, or 0.3%) with different trends recorded in the various businesses. LLDPE production in polyethylene business were down by 14.6% due to the accidental standstill at Brindisi cracker as well as Priolo standstill from September 2013, partly offset by higher volumes of EVA (up 11.6%), HDPE (up 3.8%) and LDPE (up 1.5%). Elastomers productions decreased by 2.7% due to lower volumes produced of latex and SBR rubbers due to the definitive closing of Hythe plant in March. Styrene productions increased by 5%, due to higher volumes of ABS/San (up 18%), styrol (up 5%) and compact polystyrene (up 4%).

 

Capital expenditure
In the first half of 2014 capital expenditure amounted to euro 125 million (euro 111 million in the first half of 2013) mainly regarded: (i) plant upgrades (euro 80 million); (ii) environmental protection, safety and environmental regulations (euro 15 million); (iii) upkeeping of plants (euro 11 million); (iv) maintenance and savings (euro 8 million).

Eni Interim Consolidated Report / Financial review and other information

Information of the comparative periods were restated following adoption of IFRS 10 and IFRS 11, which were enacted by the European Commission in December 2012 with regulation No. 1254. These new accounting standards were applied retrospectively by adjusting the opening balance as of January 1, 2013 and the 2013 profit and loss account. More details about the adoption of those accounting standards are provided in the explanatory notes 2 to the consolidated financial statements of this Interim Report as of June 30, 2014.
Information of the comparative periods did not reflect the restatement of the 2012 results that was made by Eni’s subsidiary Saipem, which engages in the Engineering & Construction segment, as part of the Consob proceedings, which were disclosed in Eni Annual Report – Operating and Financial Review – Other information (p. 104). Hence, results of the comparative periods in this Interim Consolidated Report for the first half of 2014 are the same as disclosed in the Eni Interim Consolidated Report for the first half of 2013, published on August 2, 2013 (with the exception of the impacts of the adoption of the new international accounting standards as described above).

Net profit
In the first half of 2014, net profit attributable to Eni’s shareholders amounted to euro 1,961 million, up by euro 143 million, or 7.9% from the first half of 2013; operating profit amounted to euro 5,901 million reporting an increase of 10.5%. It is worth mentioning that y-o-y comparability was affected by the exceptional loss of euro 680 million incurred by Saipem in the first half of 2013. In addition to these drivers, Eni’s results for the first half of 2014 were boosted by substantial improvement in the performance reported by the Gas & Power segment following the renegotiation of a large portion of the long-term gas supply contracts, with economic effects relating in part to gas volumes supplied in previous years.
The other Eni’s business segments were negatively impacted by continued geopolitical risks and the appreciation of the euro against the dollar in the Exploration & Production segment, as well as weak refining and chemicals fundamentals. These were weighted down by the slow recovery in the Euro-zone, declining energy demand, excess capacity and increasing competitive pressure from product streams imported from Russia, Asia and the USA, as well as higher prices of crude oil. These headwinds were reflected in falling margins on the production and sale of fuels and commodity chemicals.
The Group tax rate declined by 5 percentage points reflecting the fact that in the first half of 2013 the Company could not recognize any tax-loss carried forward at the loss-making Engineering & Construction segment and a lower share of taxable profit reported by the Exploration & Production segment, partly offset by a rise in the Exploration & Production tax rate due to a higher share of taxable profit reported in Countries with higher taxation.

(a) For a detailed explanation of adjusted operating profit and net profit see paragraph "Reconciliation of reported operating and net profit to results on an adjusted basis".

Adjusted net profit attributable to Eni’s shareholders amounted to euro 2,055 million, up by euro 94 million, or 4.8% from the same period of the previous year (when excluding the exceptional loss made by Saipem in the first half of 2013, adjusted net profit was down by 8%). This increase was driven by a better operating performance (up 9%, down 2.6% when excluding Saipem’s losses) and a reduction in the adjusted tax rate that was down by approximately 6 percentage points driven by the same factors that explained the reduction in the reported consolidated tax rate.

Adjusted net profit was calculated by excluding an inventory holding loss of euro 11 million and special items made up of net losses of euro 83 million, stated net of exchange rate differences and exchange rate derivative instruments reclassified in operating profit, as they mainly related to derivative transactions entered into to manage exposure to the exchange rate risk implicit in commodity pricing formulas, resulting in a net positive adjustment of euro 30 million.

Special items of operating profit amounted to euro 303 million and mainly related to:
(i)   impairment losses in the Exploration & Production segment (euro 187 million) that mainly related to an oil & gas property whose development activities Eni does not expect to finance in the future;
(ii)   impairment losses relating to the retail networks in the Czech Republic and Slovakia which were aligned to the expected sale price, the effect of which was partly offset by a write-up of Eni’s interest in the refining joint venture which currently supplies the divested networks (euro 51 million); finally investments made for compliance and stay-in-business purposes were impaired as they related to certain Cash Generating Units which were completely written off in previous reporting periods and continued to lack any profitability prospects in the Refining & Marketing segment (euro 96 million) and Versalis (euro 7 million in the first half);
(iii)   the effects of fair-value evaluation of certain commodity derivatives contracts lacking the formal requisites to be accounted as hedges under IFRS (gain of euro 281 million);
(iv)   environmental provisions and provisions for redundancy incentives (euro 30 million);
(v)   exchange rate differences and exchange rate derivative instruments reclassified as operating items (loss of euro 30 million).

Non-operating special items refer to net gains on the divestment of the residual interest in Galp (euro 96 million).

Eni Interim Consolidated Report / Financial review and other information

Group results were achieved in a scenario featured by higher crude oil prices reflecting higher Brent benchmark price, up 1.3% from the first half of 2013. In the meantime, natural gas prices continued on a weak trend.
Eni’s standard refining margin that gauges the profitability of Eni’s refineries considering the typical raw material slate and yields, reported a 45.3% decrease from the first half of 2013, in an extremely volatile trading environment, due to the structural weakness of the refining business adversely impacted by overcapacity, lower fuel demand and increasing competitive pressure from import streams of refined products from Russia, Middle East and the USA.
The European gas market continued to be characterized by weak demand, competitive pressures and oversupply. Price competition among operators has been stiff taking into account minimum off-take obligations provided by gas purchase take-or-pay contracts and reduced sales opportunities. Spot prices in Europe reported a decrease of 18.7% from the first half of 2013. Electricity sales reported negative margins due to oversupply and increasing competition from more competitive sources (photovoltaic and coal-fired plants). Results were also affected by the appreciation of the euro against the dollar (up 4.3%).

Eni’s net sales from operations in the first half of 2014 (euro 56,556 million) decreased by euro 2,731 million, or 4.6% from the first half of 2013, driven by the appreciation of the euro against the dollar, lower prices of products and natural gas, lower production and sales volumes, partially offset by the Engineering & Construction segment due to the fact that the first half of 2013 was impacted by sharply lower levels of activities.

Purchases, services and other costs (euro 43,346 million) declined by euro 3,701 million, or 7.9%, reflecting lower supply costs of raw materials in euro terms and the benefit of renegotiation of certain long-term gas supply contracts, with economic effects relating in part to volumes procured in previous reporting periods.
Purchases, services and other costs included special items of euro 75 million mainly related to environmental provisions.
Payroll and related costs (euro 2,716 million) registered an increase of euro 130 million, or 5% from the first half of 2013, due to a higher average number of employees outside Italy.

Eni’s adjusted operating profit, calculated by excluding an inventory holding loss of euro 15 million and special items made up of special net losses of euro 303 million, amounted to euro 6,219 million, with an increase of euro 514 million, or 9% from the first half of 2013, reflecting a better operating performance recorded by the following segments:

- The Gas & Power reported an adjusted operating profit of euro 311 million, which was significantly better than the operating loss of euro 635 million registered in the same period of the previous year (up euro 946 million). This was driven by the renegotiations of a large portion of long-term supply contracts, with economic effects relating in part to gas volumes supplied in previous years. This profit was partly offset by continuing margin and volume weakness for gas and electricity reflecting poor demand and strong competitive pressure;

- The Engineering & Construction, where Eni operates through its subsidiary Saipem, reverted to adjusted operating profit of euro 293 million from a loss of euro 474 million reported in the first half of the previous year. The euro 767 million increase owed to a gradual return to profitability of core operations in 2014 and the fact that the y-o-y comparability was affected by the exceptional loss made at certain large contract which impacted the result of the first half of 2013.

These positives were partially offset by the lower operating profit reported by:

- The Exploration & Production (down by euro 976 million, or 13.2%) driven by lower production sold, largely impacted by geopolitical issues in Libya, higher depreciation charges following the start-ups and

ramp-ups of new fields in the second half of 2013, as well as the appreciation of the euro vs. the dollar (up 4.3%). These negatives were partly offset by higher hydrocarbons realizations in dollar terms (up 2.2% on average), driven by higher Brent prices that absorbed the weakness of gas prices;

- The Refining & Marketing reported higher adjusted operating losses (from a loss of euro 310 million reported in the first half of 2013 to a loss of euro 442 million in the first half of 2014), driven by a continued deterioration in refining margins on the back of weak demand for refined products, mainly in the Mediterranean area.

Net finance expense of euro 493 million decreased by euro 117 million from the first half of 2013, reflecting positive exchange rate differences of euro 103 million partially offset by losses on exchange rate derivative (down euro 36 million) which did not meet the formal criteria to be designated as hedges under IFRS. Other gains regarded the effects of the valuation at fair value of securities held for trading (euro 16 million) following the establishment of a strategic reserve of liquidity in the second half of 2013 as well as lower fair value of the options that are embedded in the convertible bonds relating to Snam’s and Galp’s shares for euro 21 million due to the closer maturity and evidence that the current market price of the Galp share makes the option out-of-money, while Snam market price is slightly above the strike price.

Other income amounted to euro 237 million and mainly related to the fair value revaluation of Snam’s shares (euro 96 million) and Galp’s shares (euro 97 million) underlying the convertible bonds as of June 30, 2014.
The table below sets forth a breakdown of net income/loss from investments for the first half of 2014:

Income taxes in the first half of 2014 were euro 4,111 million, up by euro 186 million compared to the same period of the previous year, mainly in the Gas & Power segment, which in 2013 reported net operating loss, partially offset by lower income taxes currently payable which were incurred by subsidiaries in the Exploration & Production segment operating outside Italy due to a declining taxable profit.
The reported tax rate was 68.2%, with a decrease of 5 percentage points, reflecting the lower share of taxable profit reported by subsidiaries in the Exploration & Production segment operating outside Italy and due to the fact that in the 2013 the Company could not recognize any tax-loss carry forward at the loss-making Engineering & Construction segment, partly offset by a rise in the Exploration & Production tax rate due to a higher share of taxable profit reported in countries with higher taxation.
Adjusted tax rate, calculated as ratio of income taxes to net profit before taxes on an adjusted basis, was 65.8% and it was lower than in the first half of 2013 (72%) due to the same drivers.

In the first half of 2014, the Exploration & Production segment reported an adjusted operating profit of euro 6,431 million, down by euro 976 million, or 13.2% from the same period of 2013. This decrease was driven by lower sold production, affected by geopolitical issues in Libya, higher depreciation charges following the start-ups and ramp-ups of new fields by the second half of 2013, as well as foreign currency translation differences reflecting the appreciation of the euro vs. the dollar. These negatives were partly offset by hydrocarbons realizations in dollar terms (up 2.2%) reflecting the marker Brent trend which absorbed the weakness of gas prices.

Special charges excluded from adjusted operating profit amounted to euro 210 million, mainly related to impairment losses (euro 187 million) including an oil & gas property whose development activities Eni does not expect to finance in the future; provisions for redundancy incentives (euro 20 million) and exchange rate differences and exchange rate derivative instruments reclassified as operating items (loss of euro 7 million).

Adjusted net profit decreased by euro 646 million to euro 2,464 million (down 20.8%) from the first half of 2013, due to a lower operating performance.

In the first half of 2014, the Gas & Power segment reported an adjusted operating profit of euro 311 million, representing a significant improvement compared to the euro 636 loss registered in the first half of 2013. This result was driven by the renegotiations of a large portion of the long-term supply portfolio that were finalized between the fourth quarter of 2013 and June 30, 2014 as well as renegotiations of a number of gas supply contracts, the economic effects of which were retroactive to previous years. This positive trend was partly offset by continuing headwinds in the gas market as spot selling prices in Italy declined, dragged down by structural weak demand and oversupplies, and also triggered price revisions at certain long-term buyers. Furthermore, prices in the residential market were affected by a reduction in regulated tariffs set by the Italian Authority for Electricity and Gas, which replaced the previous oil-linked indexation mechanism of the raw material with prices quoted at spot markets, and finally margins on electricity production and sale were sharply lower, reflecting an ongoing downturn in the thermoelectric sector. The International transport activity reduced its operating profit (down 26.9%).

The special items excluded from adjusted operating profit amounted to euro 235 million, mainly related to the gains on re-measurement at fair value of certain non hedging commodity derivatives of euro 283 lacking the formal requisites to be accounted as hedges under IFRS and to the effects of the alignment to the net realization value of the deferred cost related to the pre-paid volumes of gas due to the incurrence of the take-or-pay clause (euro 31 million).

The Gas & Power segment reported an adjusted net profit of euro 197 million, representing an increase of euro 565 million compared to the first half of 2013.

modified to take into account the impact associated with certain derivatives instruments as detailed below. This performance indicator includes the adjusted EBITDA of Eni’s wholly-owned subsidiaries and Eni’s share of adjusted EBITDA generated by certain associates which are accounted for under the equity method for IFRS purposes. Management believes that the EBITDA pro-forma adjusted is an important alternative measure to assess the performance of Eni’s Gas & Power segment, taking into account evidence that this division is comparable to European utilities in the gas and power generation sector. This measure is provided in order to assist investors and financial analysts in assessing the divisional performance of Eni Gas & Power, as compared to its European peers, as EBITDA is widely used as the main performance indicator for utilities. The EBITDA pro-forma adjusted is a non-GAAP measure under IFRS.

(a) Excluding special items.

In the first half of 2014, the Refining & Marketing segment reported an adjusted operating loss of euro 442 million, down by euro 132 million, or 42.6% from the first half of 2013. The decline was impacted by a continuing deterioration in the refining scenario driven by excess capacity, weak demand for oil products, in particular in the Mediterranean area and increasing competitive pressure from product streams imported from Russia, Middle East and the USA. Against these ongoing trends, Eni’s margin (Standard Eni Refining Margin) that gauges the profitability of Eni’s refineries considering the typical raw material slate and yields, reported a 45.3% decrease from the first half of 2013. This trend was partly counteracted by efficiency initiatives, in particular aimed at reducing energy and operating costs, and optimizing of assets by reducing throughputs of less competitive plants.
Marketing results registered a decline compared to the same period of the previous year, due to lower consumption and increasing competitive pressure.

Special charges excluded from adjusted operating loss amounted to euro 244 million, mainly related to impairment losses of the retail networks in the Czech Republic and Slovakia which were aligned to the expected sale price, the effect of which was partly offset by a write-up of the Eni’s interest in the refining joint venture that currently supplies the divested networks (euro 51 million), impairment of investments made for compliance and stay-in-business purposes were completely written-off as they related certain Cash Generating Units which were impaired in previous reporting periods and continued to lack any profitability prospects (euro 96 million), environmental provisions (euro 41 million) and provisions for redundancy incentives (euro 4 million).

Adjusted net loss was euro 324 million, down by euro 134 million from the first half of 2013 (adjusted net loss of euro 190 million), mainly due to higher operating losses.

In the first half of 2014, Versalis reported an adjusted operating loss, with an increase of euro 37 million, or 25.5% compared to the first half of the previous year, driven by increased oil-based feedstock costs, continued weakness in commodity demand reflecting slow economic growth and increasing competition from Asian producers which left product margins at depressed levels.

Special charges excluded from adjusted operating loss of euro 21 million, related mainly to environmental provisions (euro 7 million), impairment of marginal business lines due to lack of profitability perspectives (euro 7 million), as well as to provisions for redundancy incentives (euro 3 million).

Adjusted net loss of euro 153 million increased by euro 17 million, or 12.5% compared to the same period of the previous year.

NON-GAAP measure
Reconciliation of reported operating profit and reported net profit to results on an adjusted basis

Management evaluates Group and business performance on the basis of adjusted operating profit and adjusted net profit, which are arrived at by excluding inventory holding gains or losses, 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 in order to manage exposure to movements in foreign currency exchange rates which impact industrial margins and the translation of commercial payables and receivables. Accordingly currency translation effects recorded through profit and loss are also 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. The Italian statutory tax rate is applied to finance charges and income. Adjusted operating profit and adjusted net profit are non-GAAP financial measures under either IFRS or US GAAP. Management includes them in order 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.

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

Inventory holding gain or loss is the difference between the cost of sales of the volumes sold in the period based on the cost of supplies of the same period and the cost of sales of the volumes sold calculated using the weighted average cost method of inventory accounting.

Special items include certain significant income or charges pertaining to either: (i) infrequent or unusual events and transactions, being identified as non-recurring items under such circumstances; (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 include gains and losses on re-measurement at fair value of certain non hedging commodity derivatives, including the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges and certain derivatives financial instruments embedded in the pricing formula of long-term gas supply agreements of the Exploration & Production Division. Furthermore, special items include gains and losses on re-measurement at fair value of certain non hedging commodity derivatives, including the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges and certain derivative financial instruments embedded in the pricing formula of long-term gas supply agreements of the Exploration & Production Division.

Finance charges or income related to net borrowings excluded from the adjusted net profit of business segments are comprised of interest charges on finance debt and interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents not related to operations. Therefore, the adjusted net profit of business segments includes finance charges or income deriving from certain segment-operated assets, i.e., interest income on certain receivable financing and securities related to operations and finance charge pertaining to the accretion of certain provisions recorded on a discounted basis (as in the case of the asset retirement obligations in the Exploration & Production Division). Finance charges or interest income and related taxation effects excluded from the adjusted net profit of the business segments are allocated on the aggregate Corporate and financial companies.

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

Summarized Group Balance Sheet

The summarized group balance sheet aggregates the amount of assets and liabilities derived from the statutory balance sheet in accordance with functional criteria which consider the enterprise conventionally divided into the three fundamental areas focusing on resource investments, operations and financing. Management believes that this summarized group balance sheet is useful information in assisting investors to assess Eni’s capital structure and to analyze its sources of funds and investments in fixed assets and working capital. Management uses the summarized group balance sheet to calculate key ratios such as return on capital employed (ROACE) and the proportion of net borrowings to shareholders’ equity (leverage) intended to evaluate whether Eni’s financing structure is sound and well-balanced.

Fixed assets
Fixed assets amounted to euro 77,894 million, up by euro 1,418 million from December 31, 2013 reflecting capital expenditure incurred in the period (euro 5,524 million) and estimate revisions of decommissioning costs in the Exploration & Production segment also reflecting a favorable interest rate environment (up euro 1,064 million), which were partly offset by depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment charges of the period (euro 5,188 million).

Net working capital
Net working capital (negative, euro 1,172 million) reported an increase of euro 169 million due to: (i) the increase in "Other current assets, net" (up euro 1,274 million) relating to higher receivables accrued vs. joint venture partners in the Exploration & Production segment, which were partly offset by reduced deferred costs related to pre-paid gas volumes provided by take-or-pay obligations due to volume make-up in the quarter as a result of contract renegotiations; (ii) a higher balance of trade receivables and trade payables (up euro 538 million) was recorded mainly in the Engineering & Construction segment, with its subsidiary Saipem; (iii) higher inventories (up euro 318 million) due to higher work in progress in the Engineering & Construction segment. These increases were partly offset by higher risk provisions (up

euro 1,345 million) due to the above mentioned revision of decommissioning costs in the Exploration & Production segment and higher tax payables and provisions for deferred taxes.

Net assets held for sale including related liabilities
Net assets held for sale including related liabilities (euro 442 million) referred to retail networks in Czech Republic, Slovakia and Romania and the associated refining capacity, as well as non-strategic interests in the Gas & Power segment.

 

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 – which is calculated by excluding cash and cash equivalents and certain very liquid assets from financial debt 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 a benchmarking analysis with industry standards.

Shareholders’ equity including non-controlling interest was euro 61,261 million, representing an increase of euro 212 million from December 31, 2013. This was due to comprehensive income for the year (euro 2,441 million) as a result of net profit (euro 1,918 million), positive foreign currency translation differences (euro 423 million), and positive changes in the cash flow hedge reserve (euro 250 million), net of the reversal of the fair value reserve of the Galp interest due to its disposal. This addition to equity was almost completely offset by dividend payments to Eni’s shareholders and other changes for euro 2,229 million (balance dividend for the full year 2013 to Eni’s shareholders of euro 1,986 million, dividends paid to non-controlling interest, as well as the repurchase of Eni’s share).

Summarized Group Cash Flow Statement

Eni’s summarized group cash flow statement derives from the statutory statement of cash flows. It enables investors to understand the connection 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 in the reporting period. The measure which links the two statements is represented by the free cash flow which is calculated as difference between the cash flow generated from operations and the net cash used in investing activities. 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; and (ii) change in net borrowings for the period by adding/deducting cash flows relating to shareholders’ equity and the effect of changes in consolidation and of exchange rate differences. The free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure of financial performance.

Eni Interim Consolidated Report / Financial review and other information

Net cash provided by operating activities was euro 5,740 million. Proceeds from disposals amounted to euro 3,014 million and mainly related to the divestment of Eni’s share in Artic Russia (euro 2,160 million) and an 8% interest in Galp Energia (euro 824 million). These cash inflows funded cash outlays relating to capital expenditure totaling euro 5,524 million and dividend payments and other changes amounting to euro 2,235 million referring to the balance dividend paid to Eni’s shareholders for the fiscal year 2013 (euro 1,986 million) and the repurchase of Eni’s share for euro 202 million, repaying down euro 362 million in the Group’s net debt since December 31, 2013. Net cash provided by operating activities was negatively influenced by a lower volume of trade receivables due beyond the end of the reporting period, being transferred to financing institutions compared to the previous reporting period (down euro 675 million). The robust cash flow, mainly delivered in the second quarter of 2014, was recorded by the Exploration & Production and Gas & Power segments.

Risk factors and uncertainties

 

Competition

There is strong competition worldwide, both within the oil industry and with other industries, to supply energy to the industrial, commercial and residential energy markets.

Eni faces strong competition in each of its business segments.

In the current uncertain financial and economic environment, Eni expects that prices of energy commodities, in particular oil and gas, will be very volatile, with average prices and margins influenced by changes in the global supply and demand for energy as well as in the market dynamics. This is likely to increase competition in all of Eni’s businesses, which may impact costs and margins.

-   In the Exploration & Production segment Eni faces competition from both international and state-owned oil companies for obtaining exploration and development rights, and developing and applying new technologies to maximize hydrocarbon recovery. Furthermore, Eni may face a competitive disadvantage because of its relatively smaller size compared to other international oil companies, particularly when bidding for large scale or capital intensive projects, and may be exposed to industry-wide cost increases to a greater extent compared to its larger competitors given its potentially smaller market power with respect to suppliers. If, as a result of those competitive pressures, Eni fails to obtain new exploration and development acreage, to apply and develop new technologies, and to control cost, its growth prospects and future results of operations and cash flows may be adversely affected.
     
-   In the Gas & Power segment, Eni faces strong competition from gas and energy players to sell gas and electricity to the industrial segment and the retail market both in the Italian market and markets across Europe. Competition has been fuelled by ongoing weak trends in demand due to the downturn and macroeconomic uncertainties, oversupplied markets and inter-fuel competition due to the rising use of coal in firing power plants and a dramatic growth in renewable sources of energy (photovoltaic and solar) which have materially impacted the use of gas in the production of electricity and hence sales of gas to the thermoelectric industry. These market imbalances owe to the fact that a few years ago, based on certain long-term projections about gas demand growth, European operators committed to purchase large amounts of gas under long-term supply contracts with take-or-pay clauses from the main producing Countries bordering Europe (namely Russia and Algeria) and built large upgrades at existing pipelines and new infrastructures along several European routes to expand gas import capacity to the Continent. Due to the economic and financial crisis and inter-fuel competition, those projected increases in gas demand failed to materialize resulting in a situation of oversupply and pricing pressure. The "shale gas revolution" in the USA was another fundamental trend that aggravated the oversupply situation in Europe. The discovery and development of large deposits of shale gas in the USA has progressively reduced to zero the Country’s dependence on LNG imports. As a result of this, upstream producers were forced to redirect large LNG supplies to markets elsewhere in the world, including Europe. Large gas availability on the marketplace in Europe fuelled by take-or-pay contracts and

    worldwide LNG streams has driven the development of very liquid continental hubs to trade spot gas. Shortly spot prices at continental hubs have become the main benchmarks to which selling prices are indexed in supplies to large industrial customers and thermoelectric utilities. The profitability of gas operators was negatively impacted by falling sales prices at those hubs, where prices have been pressured by intense competition among gas operators in the face of weak demand, oversupplies and the constraint to dispose of minimum annual volumes of gas to be purchased under long-tem supply contracts. These negative trends were exacerbated by the fact that spot prices have ceased to track the oil prices to which Eni’s long-term supply contracts are linked, resulting in a decoupling between trends in prices and in costs. Due to those fundamental shifts in market dynamics and a current demand downturn, the Company’s Gas & Power segment incurred operating losses in the latest three years. The outlook for our gas marketing business will remain weak for the foreseeable future as management believes that the ongoing negative trends of poor demand, continuing competition and oversupplies have become structural headwinds. These developments may adversely affect the Company’s future results of operations and cash flows in its gas business, also taking into account the Company’s contractual obligations to off-take minimum annual volumes of gas in accordance to its long-term gas supply contracts with take or-pay clauses and until the Company manages to re-negotiate new pricing terms of all long-term gas supply contracts which better tracks market prices than the original oil-linked indexation. Successful contract renegotiations in the first half of 2014 resulted in the Gas & Power segment returning to profitability (adjusted operating profit of euro 311 million) due to the economic benefits of those renegotiations, certain of which relating to gas volumes procured in the previous thermal year. See the sector-specific risk section below.
     
-   Eni is also facing competition from large, well-established European utilities and other international oil and gas companies in growing its market share and acquiring or retaining clients. A number of large clients, particularly electricity producers and large industrial buyers have entered the wholesale market of gas by directly purchasing gas from producers or sourcing it at the European spot markets adding further pressures on the economics of gas operators, including Eni. Management believes that this trend will continue in the future. At the same time, a number of national gas producers belonging to Countries with large gas reserves have started to sell natural gas directly to final clients, entering in direct competition with players like Eni which resell gas purchased from producing Countries to final customers. These developments may increase the level of competition and reduce Eni’s expected operating profit and cash flows in the gas business. Finally, gas prices in the residential market have historically been established by independent, governmental authorities in Italy and elsewhere in Europe. The indexation mechanisms used by those authorities have generally tracked a basket of petroleum products, mirroring the oil-indexed purchase prices of gas resellers like Eni, thus enabling resellers to pass a large part of cost increases of the raw material on to final customers in the retail market. In recent years, the Italian authority has introduced a number of adjustments to the oil-linked formula to take into account the public goal of containing the impact of energy inflation on households and other public services (hospitals, schools, etc.). Finally, following enactment in Italy of a new regulatory regime which went effective on October 1, 2013, management expects that the Company’s selling margins in the residential segment are likely to come under pressure due to the implementation of a less favorable indexation mechanism. Such new mechanism establishes that the cost of the raw material must be indexed to market benchmarks recorded at spot markets, as such replacing the previous oil-linked mechanism which mirrored a basket of long-term supply contracts. The Company expects that similar measures will be introduced by other market regulators in European Countries where Eni engages in selling gas to residential clients (see sector-specific risk factors below). Management believes these developments will negatively impact future results of operations and cash flow.

Eni Interim Consolidated Report / Financial review and other information

-   In its Gas & Power segment, Eni is vertically integrated in the production of electricity via its gas-fired power plants which currently use the combined-cycle technology. In the electricity business, Eni competes with other producers and traders from Italy or outside of Italy who sell electricity in the Italian market. Going forward, the Company expects continuing competition due to the projections of weak economic growth in Italy and Europe over the foreseeable future, also causing outside players to place excess production on the Italian market. The economics of the gas-fired electricity business have dramatically changed over the latest few years due to ongoing competitive trends. As a matter of fact, spot prices of electricity in the wholesale market across Europe have decreased due to excess supplies driven by the growing production of electricity from renewable sources, which also benefit of governmental subsides, and a recovery in the production of coal-fired electricity generation which has been helped by a substantial reduction in the price of this fuel on the back of a massive oversupply of coal which occurred on a global scale. As a result of falling electricity prices, margins on the production of gas-fired electricity went into negative territory. We believe that the profitability outlook in this business will remain weak in the foreseeable future.
     
-   In the retail marketing of refined products both in Italy and abroad, Eni competes with oil companies and non-oil operators (such as supermarket chains and other commercial operators) to obtain concessions to establish and operate service stations. Eni’s service stations compete primarily on the basis of pricing, services and availability of non-petroleum products. In Italy, the latest administrative measure in this field have targeted to enhance the level of competition in the retail market of fuels, for example by easing the commercial ties between independent and other non-oil operators of service stations and oil companies, enlarging options to build and operate fully-automated service stations, and opening up the merchandising of various kinds of goods and services at service stations. These developments have boosted the level of competition in the marketplace adding further pressure on selling prices and reducing opportunities of increasing the market share in Italy. We expect that competitive pressures will continue in the foreseeable future due to anticipated weak trends in the domestic demand for fuels, oversupplies of refined products due to existing excess refining capacity in Europe and growing competition of products streams coming from Russia, the Middle East, East Asia and the United States. Finally, Eni’s margins on refined products have been affected by production cost disadvantages due to unfavorable geographic location and lack of scale of Eni’s refineries, and narrowing price differentials between the Brent benchmark and heavy crude qualities. This latter trend has reflected ongoing reduced supplies of heavy crudes in the Mediterranean area, reversing the pattern observed historically whereby heavy crude qualities were trade at a discount vs. the Brent benchmark due to their relatively smaller yield of valuable products. This negative trend has particularly hit Eni’s profitability of complex cycles which depends upon the availability of cheaper crude qualities than the Brent crude in order to remunerate the higher operating costs of complex plants. This segment reported losses at the operating level in each of the latest three years and in the first half of 2014 driven by the structural headwinds in the industry described above. Based on those trends we believe that the profitability outlook in our Refining & Marketing segment will remain negative over the foreseeable future.
     
-   In the Chemical segment, Eni faces strong competition from well-established international players and state-owned petrochemical companies, particularly in the most commoditized market segments such as the production of basic petrochemicals products and plastics. Many of those competitors based in the Far East and the Middle East are able to benefit from cost advantages due to larger scale, looser environmental regulations, availability of cheaper feedstock, more favorable location and proximity to end-markets. Excess capacity and sluggish economic growth may exacerbate competitive pressures. Furthermore, Eni expects that petrochemicals producers based in the US will regain market share in the future, leveraging on a competitive cost structure due to the increasing availability of cheap feedstock deriving from the production of domestic

    shale gas. The Company expects continuing margin pressures in the foreseeable future as a result of those trends. This segment reported operating losses in each of the latest three years and in the first half of 2014, driven by the structural headwinds in the industry described above.
     
-   Competition in the oil field services, construction and engineering industries is primarily based on technical expertise, quality and number of services and availability of technologically advanced facilities (for example, vessels for offshore construction). Lower oil prices could result in lower margins and lower demand for oil services. The Company’s failure or inability to respond effectively to competition could adversely impact the Company’s growth prospects, future results of operations and cash flows. In 2013 a soft demand environment, intense competition among oilfield service providers coupled with Company-specific issues at certain projects drove a substantial reversal in the profitability at Eni’s Engineering & Construction business segment which reported an operating loss for the full year 2013. Management believes that 2014 will be a transitional year with profitability expected to recover, the extent of which will be determined by the effective execution of operational and commercial activities on low-margin contracts still present in the current portfolio and by how quickly bids currently under consideration are awarded. In the first half of 2014, Engineering & Construction segment reported a euro 767 million recovery (adjusted operating profit of euro 293 million, from adjusted operating loss of euro 474 million reported in the first half of the previous year).

Changes in crude oil and natural gas prices may adversely affect Eni’s results of operations

The exploration and production of oil and gas is a commodity business with a history of price volatility. The single largest variable that affects the Company’s results of operations and financial condition is crude oil prices. Lower crude oil prices have an adverse impact on Eni’s results of operations and cash flows. Eni generally does not hedge exposure of the future expected cash flows of the Group reserves to movements in crude oil price. As a consequence, Eni’s profitability depends heavily on crude oil and natural gas prices. Crude oil and natural gas prices are subject to international supply and demand and other factors that are beyond Eni’s control, including among other things:
(i)   the control on production exerted by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") member Countries which control a significant portion of the world’s supply of oil and can exercise substantial influence on price levels;
(ii)   global geopolitical and economic developments, including sanctions imposed on certain oil-producing Countries on the basis of resolutions of the United Nations or bilateral sanctions or disruptions due to local instability. We believe that crude oil prices were supported in 2013 by a number of interruptions in the output flows that occurred in Countries like Libya, Nigeria and Syria due to local issues driven by political and social instability;
(iii)   global and regional dynamics of demand and supply of oil and gas. We believe that global oil demand will grow at a moderate pace in the foreseeable future due to sluggish economic activity in Europe and other macroeconomic uncertainties, and more efficient use of fuels and energy in OECD Countries;
(iv)   prices and availability of alternative sources of energy. Eni believes that gas demand in Europe has been significantly impacted by a shift to the use of coal in firing power plants due to cost

    advantages compared to gas, as well as the rising contribution of renewable energies in satisfying energy requirements. Eni expects those trends to continue in the future;
(v)   governmental and intergovernmental regulations, including the implementation of national or international laws or regulations intended to limit greenhouse gas emissions, which could impact the prices of hydrocarbons; and
(vi)   success in developing and applying new technology.
     
All these factors can affect the global balance between demand and supply for oil and prices of oil.
We estimate that movements in oil prices impact approximately 50% of our current production. Further portion of 35% of our current production which derives from Production Sharing Contracts is practically unaffected by crude oil price movements which instead impact the Company’s volume entitlements (see our disclosure below). Finally, we estimate that the exposure to changes in crude oil prices of approximately 5-10% of our production is offset by equivalent and contrarian movements of the procurement costs of gas in our long-term supply contracts which index the cost of gas to crude oil prices, reflecting our decision late in 2013 to fully exploit the benefits of the natural hedging occurring between our Exploration & Production and Gas & Power segments. In previous reporting periods we entered into commodity derivatives to protect margins on gas sales in our Gas & Power business from exposure to crude oil changes and late in 2013 we discontinued this policy with a view to exploit the natural hedge provided by our equity production of crude oil. This development has impacted our results of operations in the interim period 2014 and will affect the Group consolidated results going forward. Lower oil and gas prices over prolonged periods may also adversely affect Eni’s results of operations and cash flows by:
(i)   reducing rates of return of development projects either planned or being implemented, leading the Company to reschedule, postpone or cancel development projects, or accept a lower rate of return on such projects;
(ii)   reducing the Group’s liquidity, entailing lower resources to fund expansion projects, further dampening the Company’s ability to grow future production and revenues; and
(iii)   triggering a review of future recoverability of the Company’s carrying amounts of oil and gas properties, which could lead to the recognition of significant impairment charges.

In the first half of 2014, the price of the Brent marker averaged $109 a barrel, with an increase of 1.3% compared to the first half of 2013, reflecting escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and other risky areas, against a modest increase of demand and development of non-OPEC supply. We believe that such geopolitical risks will support crude oil prices in the short-to-medium term; looking forward we expect that the crude oil long-term price will settle at around 95 a barrel (real term 2018). Gas prices have remained on a weak trend in Europe and the USA pressured by weak demand.

The Company, like other players in the industry, assesses its oil&gas projects based on long-term scenarios for oil prices, which reflect management’s best assumptions about the underlying fundamentals of global demand and supply. This approach supports the achievement of the expected returns on capital projects through the swings of the oil&gas cycle. For the 2014-2017 period Eni assumed a long-term price of $95 a barrel (real terms 2018). In this context the Company approved a capital expenditure plan amounting to euro 54 billion, 82% relating to exploration and development of oil and gas reserves, with a decrease of 5% in comparison with previous plan due to a higher degree of capital selection through a different schedule of project phases. This capex plan is going to be revised to reflect management’s further spending optimization foreseen in the 2014 outlook update.

Volatile oil prices represent an uncertainty factor in view of achieving the Company’s operating targets of production growth and reserve replacement due to the relevant amount of Production Sharing

Agreements in Eni’s portfolio. Under such contracts, the Company is entitled to receive a portion of the production, the sale of which should cover expenditures incurred and earn the Company a share of profit. Accordingly, the higher are the reference prices for crude oil used to determine production and reserve entitlements, the lower is the number of barrels to cover the same dollar amounts hence the amounts of booked production and reserves; and vice versa. The Company currently estimates that production entitlements in its PSAs decreases on average by approximately 1,000 bbl/d for a $1 increase in oil prices. The impact of price effects on the Company’s production was immaterial in 2013. This sensitivity analysis relates to the existing Eni portfolio and might vary in the future.

 

Political considerations

A substantial portion of Eni’s oil and gas reserves and gas supplies are located in Countries which are politically, socially and economically less stable than OECD Countries. Therefore Eni is exposed to risks of material disruptions to its operations in those less stable Countries. As of December 31, 2013, approximately 78% of Eni’s proved hydrocarbon reserves were located in such Countries and 62% of Eni’s supplies of natural gas came from outside 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 solvency of state institutions, inflation level, exchange rates and similar events in any of those less stable Countries may negatively affect Eni’s ability to continue operating in an economic way, either temporarily or permanently, and Eni’s ability to access oil and gas reserves. In particular, Eni faces risks in connection with the following issues:
(i)   lack of well-established and reliable legal systems and uncertainties surrounding enforcement of contractual rights;
(ii)   unfavorable developments in laws, regulations and contractual arrangements leading, for example, to expropriations, nationalizations or forced divestitures of assets and unilateral cancellation or modification of contractual terms. Eni is facing increasing competition from state-owned oil companies who are partnering Eni in a number of oil and gas projects and properties in the host Countries where Eni conducts its upstream operations. These state-owned oil companies can change contractual terms and other conditions of oil and gas projects in order to obtain a larger profit share from a given project, thereby reducing Eni’s profit share. Furthermore, as of the balance sheet date receivables for euro 575 million relating to cost recovery under certain petroleum contracts in a non-OECD Country were the subject of an arbitration proceeding;
(iii)   restrictions on exploration, production, imports and exports;
(iv)   tax or royalty increases (including retroactive claims); and
(v)   civil and social unrest, internal conflicts and other forms of political instability such as sabotages, strikes, acts of violence and incidents. These risks could result in disruptions in the economic activity, loss of output, plant closures, project delays, the loss of our personnel or assets, cause us to evacuate our personnel from certain Countries, cause us to increase spending on security worldwide, disrupt financial and commercial markets, including the supply of and pricing for oil and natural gas, and generate greater political and economic instability in some of the geographic areas in which we operate. Areas where we operate that have significant risk include, but are not limited to: the Middle East, Libya, Egypt, Algeria, Nigeria, Angola, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Nigeria, Russia, and Venezuela. In addition, any possible reprisals as a consequence of military or other action, such as acts of terrorism in

    the United States or elsewhere, could have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated results of operations, and consolidated financial condition.

In the first half of 2014 our expected production levels in Libya were negatively impacted by frequent acts of local conflict, social unrest, protests, strikes, which forced us to disrupt or reduce our producing activities, negatively affecting our results of operations and cash flow.
Also our activities in Nigeria have been impacted in recent years by continuing episodes of theft, acts of sabotage and other similar disruptions which have jeopardized the Company’s ability to conduct operations in full security, particularly in the onshore area of the Niger Delta.
Looking forward, we expect that those risks will continue to affect our operations in those Countries and we do not plan for any meaningful recovery in our production plateau in both Countries over the next couple of years; our production plans are currently assuming flat production levels for the full years 2014 and 2015 compared to 2013 levels. For more information about the status of our operations in Libya see the paragraph below.
While the occurrence of those events is unpredictable, it is likely that the occurrence of such events could cause Eni to incur material production losses or facility disruptions, by this way adversely impacting Eni’s results of operations and cash flow.

 

Risks associated with continuing political instability in North Africa and the Middle East

As of end of 2013, approximately 30% of the Company’s proved oil and gas reserves were located in North Africa and the Middle East. Since 2011, several North African and Middle Eastern oil producing Countries have been experiencing an extreme level of political instability that has resulted in changes in governments, unrest and violence and consequential economic disruptions. The instability of the socio-political framework in those Countries still represents an area of concern involving risks and uncertainties for the foreseeable future; particularly the current internal situation in Libya continues to represent an issue for Eni’s management. Following the internal conflict of 2011 and fall of regime, the fragmentation of the political framework and social tensions which followed, turned into disorders, strikes, protests and a resurgence of the internal conflict, jeopardized Eni’s ability to carry out its industrial activity in safety, forcing sometimes the Company to interrupt its operations as precautionary measure, as happened in the year 2013. In the interim period of 2014, Eni’s facilities in Libya produced on average 212 kboe/d, registering a decrease of 14% compared to the first half of 2013 due to the above mentioned political factors. It is worth mentioning that Eni is currently engaged in the recovery of the production plateau at its producing assets in the Country (assuming that plateau at the level of 273 kboe/d produced in 2010), after the events of 2011 that forced the Company to shutdown almost all its producing facilities including gas exports for a period of about 8 months.
The political instability in Egypt hindered the country’s access to the financial market, and resulted in continuous difficulties for the local oil&gas companies to fulfill the trade payables due to Eni for the Company’s gas supplies. Based on discussions currently ongoing and established relationships with the local partners, Eni’s management believes that the trade payables due amounting to euro 1.2 billion as of June 30, 2014 will be collected sometime in the future. Eni has not experienced any disruptions at its producing activities in the Country to date.

Risks in the Company’s Gas & Power business

Risks associated with the trading environment and competition in the industry

The Company expects the structural headwinds in the gas market due to a prolonged demand downturn, strong competitive pressures and oversupplies to continue to adversely impact results of operations and liquidity for the foreseeable future.
Gas demand has been severely hit by the economic slowdown in Europe and, more importantly, a steep fall of gas consumption in the thermoelectric sector. The latter trend was affected by an ongoing expansion of renewable sources of electricity which have benefited of governmental subsides across Europe, whilst coal has displaced gas on a large scale in firing power plants due to cost advantages and lowering rates for obtaining emission allowances in Europe due to the downturn. Coal prices have seen a dramatic fall in recent years due to a massive glut of coal on a global scale. In the face of weak demand, supplies on the European marketplace have continued to increase due to a number of factors. First of all, before the beginning of the downturn, gas wholesaler operators in Europe grossly overestimated the projected growth rates in demand and committed to purchase large amounts of gas under long-term supply contracts with producing Countries also bearing the volume risk as a result of the take-or-pay clause of those contracts. They also build large pipeline upgrade to import gas to Europe. Secondly, several LNG projects came on stream, which improved the liquidity of spot markets. Finally, the fact that the US has reduced their dependence on LNG imports due to large increases in the domestic production of shale gas. This latter development has further contributed to increasing global LNG supplies. Those trends have driven the expansion of very liquid European hubs where spot prices have become the prevailing benchmark of sale contracts, particularly in the industrial and thermoelectric segments. Spot prices have been on a downtrend over the last few years reflecting oversupplies and weak demand. This development has continued in the first half of 2014. This trend has hit the profitability of European gas marketing operators, including Eni. Particularly, our results of operations have been adversely impacted by a faster than anticipated alignment between continental benchmarks and spot prices at Italian hubs leading to sharply lower price realizations in the Italian wholesale market. This development has continued in the first half of 2014. In addition, these trends in sales prices have been reflected only partially in the procurement costs of gas supplies, as European gas operators procure their gas supplies under long-term contracts with producing Countries whereby in some of them the cost of gas is still indexed to the price of crude oil and other derivatives which have diverged from trends in gas spot prices. Therefore wholesale margins on gas were squeezed due to this decoupling which has occurred between spot prices and the oil-linked costs of purchased gas. Adding to the pressure, reduced sales opportunities due to weak demand forced operators to compete even more aggressively on pricing to limit the financial risks associated with the take-or-pay clause provided by the long-term supply contracts. On their part, large clients adopted opportunistic supply patterns, in order to take advantage of the large availability of spot gas. Finally governmental administrations in several European Countries have started to review the indexation mechanism of supply tariffs in the retail sector in order to make residential customers benefit from the ongoing trend in gas spot markets. In Italy, administrative bodies have already enacted effective on October 1, 2013 a new indexation mechanism of the cost of the raw material in pricing formulas of the safeguarded retail market whereby the cost of gas in currently indexed to spot prices thus replacing the previous oil-linked indexation. This development has reduce our margins in the residential sector in the first half of 2014.
We forecast that market conditions will remain unfavorable in the gas sector in Italy and Europe for the foreseeable future due to the structural headwinds described above, volatile commodity prices and lack of visibility. We anticipate a number of risk factors to the profitability outlook of the Company’s gas marketing business over the next two to three years. Those include weak demand growth due to a projected slow recovery in the Euro zone and macroeconomic uncertainties, declining thermoelectric consumption due to inter-fuel competition, continuing oversupplies and strong competition. Eni believes that those trends will negatively impact the gas marketing business future results of operations and cash

flows by reducing gas selling prices and margins, also considering Eni’s obligations under its take-or-pay supply contracts (see below).

 

The Company is seeking to improve its cost competitiveness by renegotiating more favorable contractual terms with our long-term suppliers. If we fail to achieve this our profitability could be adversely affected

Management expects the fundamentals in the gas sector to remain weak in the next two/three years assuming a slow recovery in demand due to macroeconomic headwinds, ongoing oversupplies and strong competition, as the oil-linked cost of gas supplies is projected to remain sustained. Those trends represent risk factors to the Company’s gas marketing business, with expected negative impacts on future results of operations and cash flow also considering the take-or-pay obligations (see below).
Against this scenario, management has been engaged in the renegotiations of our long-term supply contracts to align its cost structure to prices prevailing in the marketplace in order to preserve the profitability of its gas operations and to reduce the annual minim take of its contracts dictated by the take-or-pay clause in order to be more flexible in the current weak demand environment. The Company’s long-term supply contracts provide clauses whereby the parties are entitled to renegotiate contractual conditions from time to time to reflect in a changed market environment.
In the first half of 2014 management achieved to renegotiate certain long-term contracts with noticeable economic benefits, some of which related to volumes of gas procured in the previous thermal year. In the first half of 2014, these actions allowed Eni’s Gas Marketing activity to report an adjusted operating profit of euro 232 million, with a sizeable improvement compared to the loss of euro 743 million reported in first half of 2013. Following the renegotiations finalized at the end of 2013 and in the first half of 2014, about 60% of Eni’s supply portfolio has been indexed to spot prices quoted at hubs, reducing proportionally the commodity risk deriving from the different mix of indexation of selling prices and procurement costs.
Other renegotiations are currently underway. The outcome of those renegotiations is uncertain about both the amount of the economic benefits which will be eventually achieved and the timing of recognition in profit. Furthermore in case counterparties fail to arrange revised contractual terms, ongoing supply contracts provide a chance to each of them to recur to an arbitration proceeding for a definition of the commercial transaction, thus increasing the level of uncertainty surrounding those renegotiations. Considering also ongoing price renegotiations with Eni long-term buyers, results of Gas Marketing activities are subject to an increasing rate of volatility and unpredictability.

 

The Company expects that current imbalances between demand and supply in the European gas market will persist for sometime

In the first half of 2014, gas demand net of the impact of weather conditions registered a decrease of 5% across Italy and Europe, due to a continuing downturn in the thermoelectric production also driven by an excess of hydroelectric production. The actual demand reflecting mild winter weather in Italy was down by 14%. Management does not believe that beyond these factors there will be a further deterioration in the fundamentals, which however remain at depressed level.
Against these ongoing trends, management confirms the levels of gas demand assumed in our four-year plan 2014-2017, which forecasts flat demand across Italy and Europe with target volumes in 2017 amounting to 70 and 490 bcm, respectively, compared to the previous assumptions made in the industrial plan 2013-2016 of a growth rate of 2-2.3%.
It is worth mentioning that the projected levels of European gas demand in 2017 are significantly lower than the pre-crisis levels registered in 2008 as a result of weak fundamentals. The projected moderate dynamics in demand might not be sufficient to balance the current situation of oversupply in the marketplace over the next two to three years according to management’s estimates. Gas supplies have

Contents

been built up in recent years as new, large investments to upgrade import pipelines to Europe have come online from Russia and Algeria and gas wholesalers have contracted important volumes of supplies under long-tem arrangement in past years, forecasting certain trends in demand which actually failed to materialize. Furthermore, in the near future management expects the start-ups of new infrastructures in various European entry points which will add large amounts of new import capacity over the next few years. Those include a new line of the North Stream pipeline connecting Russia to Germany through the Baltic Sea as well as new LNG facilities. In Italy, the gas offered will increase moderately in the future as a new LNG plant is expected to start operations at Livorno with a 4 bcm treatment capacity and effects are in place of Law Decree No. 130/2010 about storage capacity which is expected to increase by 4 bcm by 2015. Those increases in capacity will be partially tempered by a declining availability of LNG on a worldwide scale which has been absorbed by growing energy requirements from East Asian economies. In addition Europe’s internal production is maturing. However, in the long term management expects the start-up of an array of global LNG projects which are expected to materially add to global LNG supplies as well as it is likely that the United States will support the development of gas export from the domestic production. Overall we foresee a well supplied global gas market.
Those trends represent risks to the Company’s future results of operations and cash flows in its gas business.

 

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

In order to secure long-term access to gas availability, particularly with a view of supplying the Italian gas market and anticipating certain trends in gas demand which actually failed to materialize, Eni has signed a number of long-term gas supply contracts with national operators of key producing Countries that supply the European gas markets. These contracts have been ensuring approximately 80 bcm of gas availability since 2010 (including the Distrigas portfolio of supplies and excluding Eni’s other subsidiaries and affiliates) with a residual life of approximately 14 years and a pricing mechanism of some of those contracts that still indexes the cost of gas to the price of crude oil and its products (gasoil, fuel oil, etc.). These contracts include take-or-pay clauses whereby the Company is required to off-take minimum, preset volumes of gas in each year of the contractual term or, in case of failure, to pay the whole price, or a fraction of that price, up to the minimum contractual quantity. The take-or-pay clause entitles the Company to off-take pre-paid volumes of gas in later years. Amounts of cash pre-payments and time schedules for offtaking pre-paid gas vary from contract to contract. Generally, cash pre-payments are calculated on the basis of the energy prices current in the year when the Company is scheduled to purchase the gas, with the balance due in the year when the gas is actually purchased. Amounts of pre-payments range from 10 to 100% of the full price.

The right to off-take pre-paid gas expires within a ten-year term in some contracts or remains in place until contract expiration in other arrangements. In addition, the right to off-take the pre-paid gas can be exercised in future years provided that the Company has fulfilled its minimum take obligation in a given year and within the limit of the maximum annual quantity. In this case, Eni will pay the residual price calculating it as the percentage that complements 100%, based on the arithmetical average of monthly base prices current in the year of the off-take. Similar considerations apply to ship-or-pay contractual obligations.

Management believes that the current market outlook which features weak gas demand growth and large gas availability, as well as strong competitive pressures in the marketplace and the possible changes in the sector specific regulation represent a risk factor to the Company’s ability to fulfill its minimum take obligations associated with its long-term supply contracts, considering also the Company’s plans for its

sales volumes which are anticipated to remain flat or to decrease slightly in 2014 and in the subsequent years.

Against this scenario, management has been engaged in the renegotiation of the long-term supply contracts and in other portfolio optimization initiatives, with the objective to reduce the take-or-pay exposure and the related financial risk.

Thanks to the outcome of the renegotiations which were defined in the first half of 2014 and the accomplished actions, Eni was able to lift a part of its pre-paid volumes, reducing the deferred cost stated in the balance sheet from euro 1.9 billion as of December 31, 2013 to euro 1.5 billion as of June 30, 2014.

Looking forward, based on management’s outlook for gas demand and offer in Europe, projections for sales volumes and unit margins in future years and the probable outcome of the ongoing gas renegotiations, the Company believes that the pre-paid volumes of gas due to the incurrence of the take-or-pay clause will be lifted in the long-term in accordance to current contractual terms thus recovering the cash advances paid to suppliers.

 

Risks related to changes in the price of oil, natural gas, refined products and chemicals

Operating results in Eni’s Exploration & Production, Refining & Marketing and Chemical segments are affected by changes in the price of crude oil and by the impacts of movements in crude oil prices on margins of refined and petrochemical products.
Overall, lower oil prices have a net adverse impact on Eni’s results of operations. The effect of lower oil prices on Eni’s average realizations for produced oil is generally immediate. Furthermore, Eni’s average realizations for produced oil differ from the price of Brent crude marker primarily due to the circumstance that Eni’s production list, which also includes heavy crude qualities, has a lower American Petroleum Institute ("API") gravity compared with Brent crude (when processed the latter allows for higher yields of valuable products compared to heavy crude qualities, hence higher market price).

 

The favorable impact of higher oil prices on Eni’s results of operations may be offset in part by opposite trends in margins for Eni’s downstream businesses

The impact of changes in crude oil prices on Eni’s downstream businesses, including the Refining & Marketing and the Chemicals businesses, depends upon the speed at which the prices of gas and products adjust to reflect movements in oil prices.

 

Eni’s results of operations are affected by changes in European refining margins

Results of operations of Eni’s Refining & Marketing segment are substantially affected by changes in European refining margins which reflect changes in relative prices of crude oil and refined products. The prices of refined products depend on global and regional supply/demand balances, inventory levels, refinery operations, import/export balances and weather. Furthermore, Eni’s realized margins are also affected by relative price movements of heavy or sour crude qualities versus light or sweet crude qualities, taking into account the ability of Eni’s refineries to process complex crudes that represents a cost advantage when market prices of heavy crudes are relatively cheaper than the marker Brent price.
In the latest years, Eni’s refining margins were largely unprofitable as the high cost of oil was only partially transferred to final prices of fuels pressured by weak demand, high worldwide and regional inventory levels, excess refining capacity particularly in the Mediterranean area and increasing competitive pressure form product streams imported form Russia, Asia and the USA. In the first half of

Eni Interim Consolidated Report / Financial review and other information

2014, the Refining & Marketing segment continued to incur operating losses at euro 442 million (down by 42.6% compared to the first half of 2013) in a context of extreme margin volatility. Management does not expect any significant recovery in industry fundamentals over the short to medium term. The sector as a whole will continue to suffer from weak demand and excess capacity, while the cost of oil feedstock may continue rising and price differentials may remain compressed. In this context, management expects that the Company’s refining margins will remain at unprofitable levels in the second half of 2014 and possibly beyond.

 

Eni’s results of operations are affected by changes in petrochemical margins

Eni’s margins on petrochemical products are affected by trends in demand for petrochemical products and movements in crude oil prices to which purchase costs of petroleum-based feedstock are indexed. Given the commoditized nature of Eni petrochemical products, it is difficult for the Company to transfer higher purchase costs for oil-based feedstock to selling prices to customers. In the latest years, Eni’s petrochemicals business reported operating losses due to unprofitable margins on basic petrochemicals products, mainly the margin on cracker, reflecting high oil-based feedstock costs as demand for petrochemicals commodities plunged due to the economic downturn. In the first half of 2014, Eni’s chemical business continued to report operating losses of euro 182 million, down by 25.5% from the first half of 2013) due to high cost of oil-based feedstock affecting petrochemical margins, stagnant demand and competitive pressure from Asian competitors.

Short to medium-term prospects remain uncertain due to a slow economic recovery across Italy and in Europe, increased commodity risk due to rising trend in oil prices and competitive dynamics.

To cope with the structural challenges of the Company’s chemical business, management decided to implement a strategic shift targeting to restore the economic equilibrium of the Chemicals Division over the medium term. This new strategy features a gradual reduction of the exposure to loss-making, commoditized businesses while growing the Company’s presence in niche productions, particularly elastomers and styrene, which showed a good resilience during the downturn, international expansion into South-East Asia’s growing markets as well as starting innovative productions in the field of bio-chemistry. Part of this strategy is the start of the "green chemistry" project at the Porto Torres plant in the first half of 2014 which envisages restructuring a loss-making oil-based commodity plant into a modern facility to produce chemical feedstock and intermediates based on renewable raw materials, which are destined to large industrial application (such as the tyre industry) with interesting growth opportunities. The project is in joint venture with Novamont. Another relevant element is the restructuring of the Porto Marghera site to produce bio-chemicals from vegetable oils, in partnership with Elevance Renewable Sciences Inc.

In this scenario, the recovery of profitability in the Chemicals Divisions will depend greatly on the effectiveness of diversification and "turn around", as well as continuing improvement of efficiency.

 

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

Eni is the defendant in a number of civil actions and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition to existing provisions accrued as of December 31, 2013 to account for ongoing proceedings, it is possible that in future years Eni may incur significant losses in addition to the amounts already accrued in connection with pending 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 information; and (iv) underestimation of probable future losses due to the circumstance that they are often inherently difficult to estimate.

Certain legal proceedings where Eni or its subsidiaries are parties involve the alleged breach of anti-corruptions laws and regulations and ethical misconduct. Ethical misconduct and non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including non-compliance with anti-bribery and anticorruption laws, by Eni, 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.

Outlook

The 2014 outlook is linked in part to a moderate strengthening of the global economic recovery. A number of uncertainties remain surrounding this outlook due to weak growth prospects in the Euro-zone and risks from emerging economies. Crude oil prices are forecast on a solid trend driven by geopolitical factors and the resulting technical issues in a number of important producing Countries but also impacted by the backdrop of well-supplied global markets. Management expects that the trading environment will remain challenging for the Company’s businesses. We expect continuing weak conditions in the European industries of gas distribution, refining and fuels and chemical products marketing where we do not anticipate any meaningful improvement in demand, while competition, excess supplies and overcapacity will continue to weigh on the sales margins of energy commodities. In light of this, management reaffirms its commitment to restoring profitability and preserving cash generation at the Company’s mid and downstream businesses by leveraging cost cuts and continuing renegotiation of long-term gas supply contracts, capacity restructuring and reconversion along with product and marketing innovation.
Management expects the following production and sales trends for Eni’s businesses:

- Production of liquids and natural gas: production is expected to remain substantially in line with 2013, excluding the impact of the divestment of Eni’s interest in the Artic Russia gas assets;
- Gas sales: natural gas sales are expected to be slightly lower than 2013, excluding the impact of the expected divestment of Eni’s interest in a commercial joint venture in Germany. Management is planning to strengthen marketing efforts and innovation to withstand competitive pressures in both in the large customers segment and in the retail segment. This is set against the backdrop of the ongoing downturn in demand and oversupplies, particularly in Italy;
- Refining throughputs on Eni’s account: volumes are expected to be lower than those processed in 2013 due to capacity reductions and plants’ optimization process designed to mitigate the impact of a negative trading environment. This has only partially been offset by higher output at the new EST technology conversion plant at the Sannazzaro Refinery;
- Retail sales of refined products in Italy and the Rest of Europe: retail sales are expected to be lower than in 2013 due to an ongoing demand downturn in Italy, increasing competitive pressure and the expected impact of network reorganization in Italy and in Europe;
- Engineering & Construction: 2014 will be a transitional year with profitability expected to recover, although the extent of this recovery will be determined by the effective execution of operational and commercial activities on low-margin contracts still present in the current portfolio and by how quickly bids currently under consideration are awarded.

In 2014, management expects to make further spending optimizations that will results in lower capital expenditure from 2013 (euro 12.80 billion in capital expenditure and euro 0.32 billion in financial investments in 2013). Assuming a Brent price of $108 a barrel and an average euro/dollar exchange rate of 1.35 for the full year 2014 (1.31 euro/dollar exchange rate expected at December 31, 2014), the ratio of net borrowings to total equity – leverage – is projected to be almost in line with the level achieved at the end of 2013, due to cash flows from operations and portfolio transactions.

The glossary of oil and gas terms is available on Eni’s web page at the address eni.com. Below is a selection of the most frequently used terms.

 

Financial terms

- Dividend Yield Measures the return on a share based on dividends for the year. Calculated as the ratio of dividends per share of the year and the average reference price of shares in the last month of the year. Generally, companies tend to keep a constant dividend yield, as shareholders compare this indicator with the yield of other shares or other financial instruments (e.g. bonds).

- Leverage Is a measure of a company’s debt, calculated as the ratio between net financial debt and shareholders’ equity, including non-controlling interests.

- ROACE Return On Average Capital Employed Is the return on average capital invested, calculated as the ratio between net income before non-controlling interests, plus net financial charges on net financial debt, less the related tax effect and net average capital employed.

- Coverage Financial discipline ratio, calculated as the ratio between operating profit and net finance charges.

- Current ratio Measures the capability of the company to repay short-term debt, calculated as the ratio between current assets and current liabilities.

- Debt coverage Rating companies use the debt coverage ratio to evaluate debt sustainability. It is calculated as the ratio between net cash provided by operating activities and net borrowings, less cash and cash-equivalents, Securities held for non-operating purposes and financing receivables for non operating purposes.

- Profit per boe Measures the return per oil and natural gas barrel produced. It is calculated as the ratio between Results of operations from E&P activities (as defined by FASB Extractive Activities - Oil & Gas Topic 932) and production sold.

- Opex per boe Measures efficiency in the oil&gas development activities, calculated as the ratio between operating costs (as defined by FASB Extractive Activities - Oil & Gas Topic 932) and production sold.

- Cash flow per boe Represents cash flow per each boe of hydrocarbon produced, less non-monetary items. Calculated as the ratio between Results of operations from E&P activities, net of depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment and exploration expenses (as defined by FASB Extractive Activities - Oil & Gas Topic 932) and volumes of oil and gas produced.

- Finding & Development cost per boe Represents Finding & Development cost per boe of new proved or possible reserves. It is calculated as the overall amount of exploration and development expenditure, the consideration for the acquisition of possible and probable reserves as well as additions of proved reserves deriving from improved recovery, extensions, discoveries and revisions of previous estimates (as defined by FASB Extractive Activities - Oil & Gas Topic 932).

Oil and natural gas activities

- Average reserve life index Ratio between the amount of reserves at the end of the year and total production for the year.

- Barrel Volume unit corresponding to 159 liters. A barrel of oil corresponds to about 0.137 metric tons.

- Boe (Barrel of Oil Equivalent) Is used as a standard unit measure for oil and natural gas. From July 1, 2012, Eni has updated the conversion rate of gas to 5,492 cubic feet of gas equals 1 barrel of oil (it was 5,550 cubic feet of gas per barrel in previous reporting periods).

- Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Technique of CO2 capture and storage through an integrated process that involves: (i) capture of CO2 associated with large combustion plants, power generation plants, industrial point sources, as well as natural gas fields; (ii) transport to the storage sites, generally via pipeline; and (iii) sequestration in geological sites on land or under the sea floor.

- Concession contracts Contracts currently applied mainly in Western Countries regulating relationships between States and oil companies with regards to hydrocarbon exploration and production. The company holding the mining concession has an exclusive on mining activities and for this reason it acquires a right on hydrocarbons extracted, against the payment of royalties to the State on production and taxes on oil revenues.

- Condensates These are light hydrocarbons produced along with gas, that condense to a liquid state at normal temperature and pressure for surface production facilities.

- Contingent resources Amounts of oil and gas estimated at a given date that are potentially recoverable by means of development projects that are not considered commercially recoverable due to one or more contingency.

- Conversion Refinery process allowing the transformation of heavy fractions into lighter fractions. Conversion processes are cracking, visbreaking, coking, the gasification of refinery residues, etc. The ration of overall treatment capacity of these plants and that of primary crude fractioning plants is the conversion rate of a refinery. Flexible refineries have higher rates and higher profitability.

- Deep waters Waters deeper than 200 meters.

- Development Drilling and other post-exploration activities aimed at the production of oil and gas.

- Elastomers (or Rubber) Polymers, either natural or synthetic, which, unlike plastic, when stress is applied, return, to a certain degree, to their original shape, once the stress ceases to be applied. The main synthetic elastomers are polybutadiene (BR), styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), ethylenepropylene rubber (EPR), thermoplastic rubber (TPR) and nitrylic rubber (NBR).

- Emissions of NMVOC (Non Methane Volatile Organic Compounds) Total direct emissions of hydrocarbons, hydrocarbons substitutes (e.g. mercaptans) and oxygenated hydrocarbons (e.g. MTBE) that evaporate at normal temperature. They include LPG and exclude methane. Main sources are fugitive emissions from storage tanks and pipelines in industrial plants and deposits, distribution networks, flaring (often incomplete), venting, etc.

- Emissions of NOx (Nitrogen Oxides) Total direct emissions of nitrogen oxides deriving from combustion processes in air. They include NOx emissions from flaring activities, sulphur recovery processes, FCC regeneration, etc. They include NO and NO2 emissions and exclude N2O emissions.

- Emissions of SOx (Sufur Oxides) Total direct emissions of sulfur oxides including SO2 and SO3 emissions. Main sources are combustion plants, diesel engines (including maritime engines), gas flaring (if the gas contains H2S), sulphur recovery processes, FCC regeneration, etc.

- Enhanced recovery Techniques used to increase or stretch over time the production of wells.

- EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) A contract typical of onshore construction of large plants in which the contractor supplies engineering, procurement and construction of the plant. The contract is defined "turnkey" when the plant is supplied for start-up.

- EPCI (Engineering, Procurement, Commissioning, Installation) A contract typical of offshore construction of complex projects (such as the installation of production platforms or FPSO systems) in which the global or main contractor, usually a company or a consortium of companies, supplies engineering, procurement, construction of plant and infrastructure, transport to the site and all preparatory activities for the start-up of plants.

- Exploration Oil and natural gas exploration that includes land surveys, geological and geophysical studies, seismic data gathering and analysis, and well drilling.

- FPSO vessel Floating, Production, Storage and Offloading system made-up of a large capacity oil tanker including a large hydrocarbon treatment plant. This system, moored at the bow in order to maintain a geostationary position, is in fact a temporary fixed platform linking the underwater wellheads to the treatment, storage and offloading systems onboard by means of risers from the seabed.

- Green House Gases (GHG) Gases in the atmosphere, transparent to solar radiation, can consistently trap infrared radiation emitted by the earth’s surface, atmosphere and clouds. The six relevant greenhouse gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6). GHGs absorb and emit radiation at specific wavelengths within the range of infrared radiation determining the so called greenhouse phenomenon and the related increase of earth’s average temperature.

- Infilling wells Infilling wells are wells drilled in a producing area in order to improve the recovery of hydrocarbons from the field and to maintain and/or increase production levels.

- LNG Liquefied Natural Gas obtained through the cooling of natural gas to minus 160 °C at normal pressure. The gas is liquefied to allow transportation from the place of extraction to the sites at which it is transformed and consumed. One ton of LNG corresponds to 1,400 cubic meters of gas.

- LPG Liquefied Petroleum Gas, a mix of light petroleum fractions, gaseous at normal pressure and easily liquefied at room temperature through limited compression.

- Mineral Potential (Potentially recoverable hydrocarbon volumes) Estimated recoverable volumes which cannot be defined as reserves due to a number of reasons, such as the temporary lack of viable markets, a possible commercial recovery dependent on the development of new technologies, or for their location in accumulations yet to be developed or where evaluation of known accumulations is still at an early stage.

- Mineral Storage Volumes of natural gas required for allowing optimal operation of natural gas fields in Italy for technical and economic reasons.

- Modulation Storage Volumes of natural gas required for meeting hourly, daily and seasonal swings of demand.

- Natural gas liquids Liquid or liquefied hydrocarbons recovered from natural gas through separation equipment or natural gas treatment plants. Propane, normal-butane and isobutane, isopentane and pentane plus, that used to be defined natural gasoline, are natural gas liquids.

- Network Code A code containing norms and regulations for access to, management and operation of natural gas pipelines.

- Offshore/onshore The term offshore indicates a portion of open sea and, by induction, the activities carried out in such area, while onshore refers to land operations.

- Oil spills Discharge of oil or oil products from refining or oil waste occurring in the normal course of operations (when accidental) or deriving from actions intended to hinder operations of business units or from sabotage by organized groups (when due to sabotage or terrorism).

- Olefins (or Alkenes) Hydrocarbons that are particularly active chemically, used for this reason as raw materials in the synthesis of intermediate products and of polymers.

- Over/underlifting Agreements stipulated between partners regulate the right of each to its share in the production of a set period of time. Amounts different from the agreed ones determine temporary over/underlifting situations.

- Possible reserves Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves.

- Probable reserves Probable reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves but which, together with proved reserves, are as likely as not to be recovered.

- Production Sharing Agreement Contract in use in non OECD Countries, regulating relationships between States and oil companies with regard to the exploration and production of hydrocarbons. The mining concession is assigned to the national oil company jointly with the foreign oil company who has exclusive right to perform exploration, development and production activities and can enter agreements with other local or international entities. In this type of contract the national oil company assigns to the international contractor the task of performing exploration and production with the contractor’s equipment and financial resources. Exploration risks are borne by the contractor and production is divided into two portions: "Cost Oil" is used to recover costs borne by the contractor, "Profit Oil" is divided between contractor and national company according to variable schemes and represents the profit deriving from exploration and production. Further terms and conditions may vary from one Country to the other.

- Proved reserves Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward, from know reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time.

- Reserves Quantities of oil and gas and related substances anticipated to be economically producible, as of a given date, by application of development projects to known accumulations. In addition, there must exist, or there must be a reasonable expectation that will exist, the legal right to produce or a revenue interest in the production, installed means of delivering oil and gas or related substances to market, and all permits and financing required to implement the project. Reserves can be: (i) developed reserves quantities of oil and gas anticipated to be through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserves estimate; (ii) undeveloped reserves: oil and gas expected to be recovered from new wells, facilities and operating methods.

- Reserve replacement ratio Measure of the reserves produced replaced by proved reserves. Indicates the company’s ability to add new reserves through exploration and purchase of property. A rate higher than 100% indicates that more reserves were added than produced in the period. The ratio should be averaged on a three-year period in order to reduce the distortion deriving from the purchase of proved property, the revision of previous estimates, enhanced recovery, improvement in recovery rates and changes in the value of reserves – in PSAs – due to changes in international oil prices. Management also

calculates this ratio by excluding the effect of the purchase of proved property in order to better assess the underlying performance of the Company’s operations.

- Ship-or-pay Clause included in natural gas transportation contracts according to which the customer for which the transportation is carried out is bound to pay for the transportation of the gas also in case the gas is not transported.

- Strategic Storage Volumes of natural gas required for covering lack or reduction of supplies from extra-European sources or crises in the natural gas system.

- Swap In the gas sector, the term is referred to a buy/sell contract between some counterparties and is generally aimed to the optimization of transport costs and respective commitments in purchasing and supplying.

- Take-or-pay Clause included in natural gas purchase contracts according to which the purchaser is bound to pay the contractual price or a fraction of such price for a minimum quantity of the gas set in the contract also in case it is not collected by the customer. The customer has the option of collecting the gas paid and not delivered at a price equal to the residual fraction of the price set in the contract in subsequent contract years.

- Upstream/downstream The term upstream refers to all hydrocarbon exploration and production activities. The term downstream includes all activities inherent to the oil sector that are downstream of exploration and production activities.

- Wholesale sales Domestic sales of refined products to wholesalers/distributors (mainly gasoil), public administrations and end consumers, such as industrial plants, power stations (fuel oil), airlines (jet fuel), transport companies, big buildings and households. They do not include distribution through the service station network, marine bunkering, sales to oil and petrochemical companies, importers and international organizations.

- Workover Intervention on a well for performing significant maintenance and substitution of basic equipment for the collection and transport to the surface of liquids contained in a field.

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements
     
1 Basis of presentation

Eni Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". The statements are the same adopted in the Annual Report 2013.
The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared adopting the same principles of consolidation and measurement criteria described in the Annual Report 2013, except for the international accounting standards effective starting from January 1, 2014 disclosed in the paragraph "Recent accounting standards" of Annual Report 2013.
The 2014 Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared adopting IFRS 10 "Consolidated Financial Statements" (hereinafter IFRS 10), IFRS 11 "Joint Arrangements" (hereinafter IFRS 11) and the revised version of IAS 28 "Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures", whose provisions are summarized below1.
IFRS 10 provides a new definition of control to be consistently applied to all entities (included structured entities). According to this definition, an entity controls an investee when the investor is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.
IFRS 11 applies to the accounting for all joint arrangements, in which the parties to the arrangement classify, as joint operations or joint ventures, depending upon their underlying contractual rights and obligations to the joint arrangement. A joint operation is a joint arrangement in which the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. A joint venture is a joint


(1) Furthermore, as indicated in the paragraph "Recent accounting standards" of Annual Report 2013, starting from January 1, 2014, the following standards are effective: (i) IFRS 12 "Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities"; (ii) the amendments to IAS 32 "Financial Instruments: Presentation – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities", the amendments to IAS 36 "Impairment of assets – Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets" and the amendments to IAS 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement – Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting". IFRS 12 shall not be applied in the Condensed Interim Financial Statements; the adoption of the amendments to IAS 32, to IAS 36 and to IAS 39 has not resulted in material effects.

  arrangement in which the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.
A joint arrangement in which the assets and liabilities relating to the arrangement are held in a separate vehicle can be either a joint venture or a joint operation. However, a joint arrangement that is not structured through a separate vehicle is a joint operation.
According to IFRS 11, joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. A joint operator shall recognize its interest in the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses relating to the joint operation, whether or not structured through a separate vehicle, depending on its rights and obligations to the arrangement and regardless of the ownership interest held. After the initial recognition, the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses relating to the joint operation shall be measured in accordance with the applicable IFRSs.
The revised version of IAS 28 requires, among other things, that: (i) if an investment in an associate becomes an investment in a joint venture or an investment in a joint venture becomes an investment in an associate, the entity continues to apply the equity method and does not remeasure the retained interest at its fair value; (ii) in a sale plan of a portion of an investment in an associate or a joint venture, only the portion of the investment to be disposed shall be classified as held for sale. Any retained portion that has not classified as held for sale shall be accounted for using the equity method until the disposal of the portion that is classified as held for sale takes place. After the disposal takes place, the retained interest shall be accounted for using the applicable measurement criteria.
The report includes selected explanatory notes.
Current income taxes have been calculated based on the estimated taxable profit of the interim period. Current 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

4 Recent accounting standards

As regards the recent accounting standards, in addition to those indicated in the Annual Report 2013, the main pronouncements issued by IASB and not yet been endorsed by European Union are indicated hereinafter.
On May 6, 2014, the IASB issued the amendments to IFRS 11 "Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations" (hereinafter amendments to IFRS 11), which define the accounting treatment to be applied to the acquisition of both the initial interest and the additional interests in a joint operation (without changing the status of joint operation) whose activity constitutes a business, as defined in IFRS 3. In these cases, the acquired interests in a joint operation shall be recognized in accordance with all the applicable principles on business combination accounting, which include but are not limited to: (i) measuring the identifiable assets and liabilities at fair value, other than items for which exceptions are given in IFRSs; (ii) recognizing acquisition-related costs as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred; (iii) recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities that arise from the initial recognition of assets (except for goodwill) or liabilities in respect of deductible or taxable temporary differences; (iv) recognizing the excess of the consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, as goodwill; and (v) testing for impairment a cash generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated at least annually, or whenever there is an impairment indicator. The amendments to IFRS 11 shall be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016.
On May 12, 2014, the IASB issued the amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38 "Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortization", which consider inappropriate a depreciation or amortization method that is based on revenue that is generated by an activity that includes the use of an asset. For intangible assets, this indication represents a rebuttable presumption which can be overcome only in the following limited circumstances: (i) the right over the use of an intangible asset is set out as a fixed total amount of revenue to be generated; or (ii) when it can be demonstrated that revenue and the consumption of the economic benefits of the intangible assets are highly correlated. The

  amendments shall be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016.
On May 28, 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (hereinafter IFRS 15), which establishes a comprehensive framework for determining when to recognize revenue and how much revenue to recognize; it applies to all the contracts with the customers, including construction contracts. IFRS 15 requires that, to recognize revenue, a company shall apply the following five steps: (i) identify the contract with the customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations (that are promises in a contract to transfer to a customer goods and/or services); (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate 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) recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied. Moreover, IFRS 15 includes more disclosure requirements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. IFRS 15 shall be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017.
On July 24, 2014, the IASB completed its project to replace IAS 39 by issuing the final version of IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" (hereinafter IFRS 9). IFRS 9: (i) changes the classification and measurement approach for financial assets; (ii) introduces a new impairment model for financial assets which considers the expected credit losses; and (iii) includes an improved hedge accounting model. IFRS 9 shall be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

Eni is currently reviewing these standards to determine the likely impact on the Group’s results.

- other   6,577   7,347
    6,665   7,433
    28,890   28,246

Trade receivables at June 30, 2014, decreased by euro 1,506 million from the prior year balance sheet date, mainly in the Gas & Power segment (down euro 1,791 million) and the Engineering & Construction segment (down euro 314 million). Such decrease was partially offset by the increase in the Exploration & Production segment (up euro 417 million) the Refining & Marketing segment (up euro 227 million).
Trade receivables are stated net of the valuation allowance for doubtful accounts:

Other receivables   534   18   (1)   5   556
    1,877   215   (27)   14   2,079

Additions to the allowance reserve for doubtful accounts of trade receivables amounting to euro 197 million related to the Gas & Power segment (euro 179 million). In particular, such provision was made in respect of Italian retail customers who have been hit by continuing financial difficulties reflecting a slow economic recovery in the country. Eni is taking all the necessary actions to mitigate the counterparty risk by large-scale recovery of doubtful accounts through settlement agreements or specific external services.
In the first half of 2014, Eni had in place transactions to transfer to factoring institutions certain trade receivables without recourse for euro 1,844 million, due beyond June 30, 2014 (euro 2,533 million at December 31, 2013, due in 2014). Transferred receivables mainly related to the Refining & Marketing segment (euro 878 million), the Gas & Power segment (euro 650 million), the Engineering & Construction segment (euro 200 million) and the Versalis segment (euro 116 million). Following the contractual arrangements with the financing institutions, Eni collects the transferred receivables and transfers the collected amounts to those institutions. Furthermore, Engineering & Construction transferred certain trade receivables without recourse due beyond June 30, 2014 for euro 236 million through Eni’s subsidiary Serfactoring SpA (euro 222 million at December 31, 2013, due in 2014).
Trade receivables amounting to euro 1,195 million were due in the Exploration & Production segment and related to hydrocarbons supplies to Egyptian state-owned companies. In order to reduce the outstanding amounts, negotiations and contacts are ongoing with top management of those state-owned companies and local governmental authorities, since there are stable relationships with the counterparties.
Financing receivables for operating purposes of euro 992 million (euro 884 million at December 31, 2013) mainly related to financing granted to unconsolidated subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates to cover capital expenditure requirements for euro 536 million for executing industrial projects (euro 481 million at December 31, 2013) and cash deposits to hedge the loss provision made by Eni Insurance Ltd for euro 309 million (euro 321 million at December 31, 2013).
Financing receivables for non-operating purposes amounted to euro 115 million (euro 129 million at December 31, 2013) and related to: (i) restricted deposits in escrow for euro 80 million held by Eni Trading & Shipping SpA (euro 92 million at December 31, 2013), of which euro 58 million with Citigroup Global Markets Ltd, euro 20 million with BNP Paribas and euro 2 million with ABN AMRO relating to derivatives; (ii) restricted deposits in escrow of

receivables of the Engineering & Construction segment for euro 25 million (same amount as of December 31, 2013).
Receivables from divesting activities of euro 86 million (euro 88 million at December 31, 2013) related to the divestment of a 3.25% interest in the Karachaganak project (equal to Eni’s 10% interest) to the Kazakh partner KazMunaiGas for euro 79 million (same amount as of December 31, 2013). A description of the transaction is reported in note 15 - Other non-current receivables.
Other receivables of euro 7,347 million (euro 6,577 million at December 31, 2013) included: (i) receivables for euro 570 million relating to the recovery of costs incurred in two oil projects in the Exploration & Production segment. In the last recent years Eni commenced two arbitration proceedings that led to the issuance of favorable partial and final award for one of the two and of a favorable partial award for the other one. In respect of the latter, the final award might be recognized once a restrictive measure, that was issued by a Nigerian court to prevent the continuation of this arbitration, will be revoked; (ii) euro 4 million relating to receivables for the settlement of tax positions with unconsolidated subsidiaries which are part of the consolidated accounts for Italian tax purposes (euro 8 million at December 31, 2013).
Because of the short-term maturity and conditions of remuneration of trade receivables, the fair value approximated the carrying amount.
Receivables with related parties are described in note 35 - Transactions with related parties.

Fair value of other derivatives   718   2,337
Other current assets   593   859
    1,325   3,351

Derivative fair values were estimated on the basis of market quotations provided by primary info-provider, or alternatively, appropriate valuation methods commonly used in the marketplace.
Fair value of cash flow hedge derivatives of euro 155 million (euro 14 million at December 31, 2013) related to commodity hedging entered by the Gas & Power segment. These derivatives were entered into to hedge variability in future cash flows associated to highly probable future sale transactions of gas or electricity or on already contracted sales due to different indexation mechanism of supply costs versus selling prices. A similar scheme applies to exchange rate hedging derivatives. Negative fair value of contracts expiring by June 30, 2015 is disclosed in Note 19 - Other current liabilities; positive and negative fair value of contracts expiring beyond June 30, 2015 is disclosed in Note 15 - Other non-current receivables and in Note 23 - Other non-current liabilities. The effects of the evaluation at fair value of cash flow hedge derivatives are given in Note 25 - Shareholders’ equity and in Note 29 - Operating expenses.
Fair value of other derivatives of euro 2,337 million (euro 718 million at December 31, 2013) consisted of: (i) euro 305 million (euro 369 million at December 31, 2013) of derivatives that failed to meet the formal criteria to be designated as hedges under IFRS because they were entered into in order to manage net exposures to movements in foreign currencies, interest rates or commodity prices. Therefore, such derivatives were not related to specific trade or financing transactions; (ii) euro 2,032 million (euro 344 million at December 31, 2013) related to commodity derivatives for trading purposes and proprietary trading.
Other current assets of euro 859 million included deferred costs for euro 348 million relating to gas volumes prepayments that were made in previous reporting period due to the take-or-pay obligations in the Company’s long-term supply contracts, as the Company is forecasting to make-up the underlying gas volumes based on its sales plans and the benefits of the latest renegotiations which have been achieved at the closing date.

In preparing this interim report for the first half of 2014 management evaluated market and other indicators that assets may be impaired within the Group’s operating segments. Management did not identify any impairment indicator, except in the refinery and petrochemical business.
In performing the above analysis, management considered: (i) the latest forward prices for commodities prevailing in the marketplace for the future four-year period compared with the forward prices considered in the 2013 annual report; (ii) the new assumptions related to Brent crude long-term price of $95 per barrel from 2018 onwards.
Therefore, management carried out the impairment review of the recoverability of the carrying amounts in the following segments: (i) Refining Marketing segment, in relation to a significant decline in forward refining margins with respect to the margin projections made in the annual report 2013 which reflected the structural headwinds in the business due to weak demand and excess capacity in Europe and increased competitive pressure from product streams coming from Russia and Asia. In spite of a deteriorating scenario, management confirmed the recoverability of the carrying amounts of the refineries and distribution networks based on: a) further spending optimizations (investments and operating costs) decided by management, compared to the four-year plan 2014-2017; b) a reduction in the discount rate (the Weighted Average Cost of Capital adjusted for country risk - adjusted WACC). An impairment loss euro 97 million was recorded to write-off expenditures incurred on assets which were fully impaired in previous reporting periods since the non-recoverability of such investments has been confirmed. Finally, as part of an ongoing divestiture process, management aligned to fair value the assets related to distribution networks in the Czech Republic and Slovakia (euro 30 million loss; for more information see note 24 - Assets held for sale and liabilities directly associated with assets held for sale); (ii) management carried out the impairment review in Versalis, as a result of weak demand for commodities in Europe and increased competitive pressure from Asian producers which resulted in a higher pressure on sales margins (particularly in the butadiene and elastomers businesses). Management confirmed the recoverability of the carrying amounts of all of the petrochemical CGUs due to: a) the solid industrial actions planned in the next four-year period; b) reduction in the WACC. An impairment loss of euro 9 million was recorded to write-off expenditures incurred on assets which were fully impaired in previous reporting periods since the non-recoverability of such

investments has been confirmed; (iii) in the Exploration & Production segment, management reviewed a sample of oil & gas Cash Generating Units selected according to criteria of relevance (book value, allocation of unproved mineral interests, headroom between the book value and the value in use at the date of the annual report, etc.) covering about 40% of the assets, for which management tested reserves revisions, changes in projected expenditures and operating costs and modifications at petroleum contracts. Management did not take any impairment charge, with the exception of an oil&gas property whose development activities Eni does not expect to finance in the future (euro 179 million).
The criteria adopted by Eni in identifying the Group Cash Generating Unit (CGU) and in reviewing the recoverability of carrying amounts remained unchanged in respect of the Annual Report 2013 (see note 15 - Property, plant and equipment). In particular, in preparing the Interim Report 2014, management maintained unchanged the estimation of the post-tax rate for discounting the future cash flows of the CGUs equal to the weighted average cost of the capital to Eni, adjusted to factor in risks specific to each country of activity (WACC adjusted), considering the reduction in the Italian sovereign risk reflecting the decrease of the expected yields for the ten-year government bonds, whose effects were offset by an increased risk for non-OECD countries; for the Refining & Marketing segment and Versalis, that mainly operate in Italy and Western Europe, it was assessed a reduction of 80-90 basis points as a consequence of a lower country risk which reflects a gradually improving macroeconomic outlook in the Eurozone.
The adjusted-WACC rates applied in this interim report ranged from 6.4% to 7.9%.
Change in the scope of consolidation of euro 228 million related to the inclusion of Liverpool Bay Ltd following the 100% acquisition.
Foreign currency translation differences of euro 485 million primarily related to translations of entities accounts denominated in US dollar (euro 377 million) and entities accounts denominated in British pound (euro 75 million).
Other changes of euro 887 million included the initial recognition and change in estimates of decommissioning costs and site restoration in the Exploration & Production segment (euro 1,064 million) primarily as a consequence of reduced discount rates, and, as decrease, the reclassification to assets held for sale (euro 137 million).

Capital expenditures of euro 772 million (euro 1,045 million in the first half of 2013) included exploration drilling expenditures of the Exploration & Production segment which were fully amortized as incurred for euro 693 million (euro 765 million in the first half of 2013) and license acquisition costs of euro 4 million (euro 179 million in the first half of 2013) primarily related to acquisitions of new exploration acreage in Egypt. Amortization of euro 941 million (euro 1,012 million in the first half of 2013) included the amortization of license acquisition costs for euro 123 million (euro 126 million in the first half of 2013).
Goodwill impairments amounting to euro 51 million related the valuation at fair value of the fuel distribution network in the Czech Republic and Slovakia which divestiture is ongoing (see note 10).
Change in the scope of consolidation related to goodwill of euro 37 million included the 51% acquisition of Acam Clienti SpA (euro 32 million) and the 100% acquisition of Liverpool Bay Ltd (euro 5 million).
The carrying amount of goodwill at the end of the period was euro 2,134 million (euro 2,146 million at December 31, 2013) net cumulative impairment charges amounting to euro 2,349 million (euro 2,396 million at December 31, 2013). The decrease in cumulative impairments was due to the reclassification to assets held for sale.
The breakdown of the stated goodwill by operating segment is provided below:

In the Gas & Power segment, the CGUs consist of commercial business units whose cash flows are interdependent and, therefore, jointly benefit of business combination synergies. Goodwill allocated to the CGU domestic gas market was recognized upon the buy-out of the former Italgas SpA minorities in 2003 through a public offering (euro 706 million) which engaged in the retail sale of gas to the residential sector. In addition, further goodwill amounts have been allocated over the years following business combinations with small, local companies selling gas to residential customers in focused territorial reach and municipalities

synergic to Eni's activities, the latest acquisition of which was ACAM Clienti SpA finalized in first half 2014 (with an allocated goodwill of euro 32 million as discussed above). In the first half of 2014, in spite of declining gas demand and sales in the residential sector due to unusual winter weather resulting in a 19% contraction in consumed volumes, management did not identify any impairment indicator confirming the assumptions included in the business plan 2014-2017 considered in the assessments of the Annual Report 2013. The excess of the recoverable amount of the CGU domestic gas market over its carrying amount including the allocated portion of goodwill (headroom) amounting to euro 650 million on the basis of the sensitivity analysis performed for the Annual Report 2013 would be reduced to zero under each of the following alternative hypothesis: (i) a decrease of 35% on average in the projected commercial margins; (ii) a decrease of 35% on average in the projected sales volumes; (iii) an increase of 7 percentage points in the discount rate; and (iv) a negative nominal growth rate of 12%. The value-in-use of the CGU domestic gas market and the relevant sensitivity analysis were calculated solely on the basis of retail margins.
Goodwill allocated to the CGU European gas market, amounting to euro 188 million after the recognition in previous years of sizeable impairment losses reflecting the downturn in the European gas market, was recorded following the business combinations of Altergaz SA (now Eni Gas & Power France SA) in France, Nuon Belgium NV (now merged in Eni Gas & Power NV) in Belgium, whose carrying amounts are aligned to the respective value-in-use estimated on a stand alone basis in the Annual report 2013. The management did not identify any impairment indicator in the first half 2014.

    748   748

The segment goodwill of euro 748 million was mainly recognized following the acquisition of Bouygues Offshore SA, now Saipem SA (euro 710 million) and allocated to the CGUs Offshore E&C and Onshore E&C. The outlook of the business supports the planned targets of gradual improvements in the competitive position and profitability as low-margin projects acquired in previous years are being progressively completed and new, more profitable works acquired on the basis of a more selective commercial strategy have been starting contributing to profit. Despite the absence of any impairment indicators, management has tested the value-in-use of the CGUs to check the recoverability of the carrying amounts including the allocated goodwill. The values-in-use of the CGUs were assessed on the basis of the expected profits and cash flows provided for in the four-year plan 2014-2017, modified in order to reflect the update in the expected 2014 results. The other most significant assumptions used in estimating the cash flows of the CGUs related to the discount rate and the terminal growth rate remained unchanged compared to the Annual report 2013 (7.6% and 2%, respectively). Management did not recognize any impairment charges. The value-in-use of both the Offshore E&C and Onshore E&C business units significantly exceeds the underlying carrying amounts included any amounts of allocated goodwill; headroom at both CGUs has been verified to be not lower than those disclosed in the Annual Report 2013 based on the tests performed in the 2014 interim period.

Eni Interim Consolidated Report / Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

Fair values of non-hedging derivatives of euro 216 million (euro 256 million at December 31, 2013) consisted of derivatives that did not meet the formal criteria to be designated as hedges under IFRS because they were entered into in order to manage net exposures to foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. Therefore, such derivatives did not relate to specific trade or financing transactions.
Fair values of cash flow hedge derivatives of euro 6 million as of December 31, 2013 related to the Gas & Power segment. These derivatives were designated to hedge exchange rate and commodity risk exposures as described in note 9 - Other current assets. Fair value related to the contracts expiring beyond June 30, 2015 is disclosed in note 23 - Other non-current liabilities; fair value related to the contracts expiring by June 30, 2015 is disclosed in note 9 - Other current assets and in note 19 - Other current liabilities. The effects of fair value evaluation of cash flow hedges are disclosed in note 25 - Shareholders’ equity and note 29 - Operating expenses.
Other non-current asset amounted to euro 1,368 million (euro 2,099 million at December 31, 2013) of which euro 1,173 million (euro 1,892 million at December 31, 2013) related to pre-payments of gas quantities which Eni failed to collect in previous reporting periods to fulfill the minimum take obligations provided by the long-term gas supply contracts, which triggered the obligation to pay in advance the contractual price to the gas suppliers (see note 17 - Trade and other payables). The reduction from the previous year is due to the make-up of part of the pre-paid gas volumes as a result of the renegotiation of certain long-term contracts (which resulted in a reduction of the minimum contractual quantity) and other optimizations performed during the period. The residual deferred costs were classified as non-current assets, as the Company plans to lift the prepaid quantities beyond the term of 12 months.
Take-or-pay clauses provide that Eni is required to collect minimum annual quantities of gas, or in case of failure to pay the whole price, or a fraction of it, up to a preset annual minimum quantity. The Company is entitled to lift the pre-paid volumes in future years alongside the contract execution (see the definition of the take-or-pay clause in the section Glossary). These deferred costs, which are substantially equivalent to a receivable in-kind, are stated at the purchase cost or the net realizable value, whichever is lower. Prior-year’s impairment losses are reversed up to the purchase cost, whenever market conditions indicate that impairment no longer exits or may have decreased. In the first half of 2014, based on this accounting principle an impairment loss of euro 31 million was recorded at the end of the reporting period. The amount of pre-paid gas volumes reflects ongoing difficult market condition in the European gas sector due to weak demand determined by stagnant economic growth and a downturn in the thermo-electric segment and strong competitive pressures fuelled by oversupplies. These trends prevented Eni from fulfilling its minimum take obligations associated with its gas supply contracts in the latest years up to 2013; whilst as discussed above in the interim period prepaid volumes were reduced due to the benefits of contract renegotiations. Management plans to recover those prepaid volumes over the long-term by leveraging on: (i) achieved and planned contract renegotiations in terms of reduction of prices, annual minimum quantities and other operating flexibility; (ii) actions of commercial optimizations as a result of simultaneous presence in different markets and the availability of assets (logistics capacity, transportation rights).

Other financial institutions   480   355
    2,553   3,238

The increase in short-term debt of euro 685 million included net assumptions for euro 664 million, partially offset by currency translation differences for euro 21 million. Commercial papers of euro 2,206 million were issued by the Group’s financial subsidiaries Eni Finance USA Inc (euro 1,688 million) and Eni Finance International SA (euro 518 million).
At June 30, 2014, Eni had undrawn committed and uncommitted borrowing facilities amounting to euro 41 million and euro 12,334 million, respectively (euro 2,141 million and euro 12,187 million at December 31, 2013). Those facilities bore interest rates reflecting prevailing conditions on the marketplace. Charges for unutilized facilities were immaterial.
At June 30, 2014, Eni did not report any default on covenants or other contractual provisions in relation to borrowing facilities.
Because of the short-term maturity and conditions of remuneration of short-term debts, the fair value approximated the carrying amount.

The effects of the evaluation at fair value of cash flow hedge derivatives are disclosed in note 25 - Shareholders’ equity and in note 29 - Operating expenses.
Fair values of other derivatives of euro 2,259 million (euro 782 million at December 31, 2013) consisted of: (i) euro 483 million (euro 376 million at December 31, 2013) of derivatives that did not meet the formal criteria to be designated as hedges under IFRS because they were entered into in order to manage net exposures to movements in foreign currencies, interest rates or commodity prices. Therefore, such derivatives were not related to specific trade or financing transactions; (ii) euro 1,775 million (euro 405 million at December 31, 2013) of commodity derivatives entered for trading purposes and proprietary trading; (iii) euro 1 million (same amount as of December 31, 2013) related to fair value hedge derivatives.

Long-term debt and the short-term portion of long-term debt of euro 23,024 million (euro 23,007 million at December 31, 2013) increased by euro 17 million. Such increase included currency translation differences relating to foreign subsidiaries and debt denominated in foreign currency recorded by euro-reporting subsidiaries for euro 76 million.
Debt due to banks of euro 2,817 million (euro 2,390 million at December 31, 2013) included amounts against committed borrowing facilities for euro 2 million.
Debt due to other financial institutions of euro 197 million (euro 226 million at December 31, 2013) included euro 30 million of finance lease transactions (euro 31 million at December 31, 2013).
Eni entered into long-term borrowing facilities with the European Investment Bank. These borrowing facilities are subject to the maintenance of certain financial ratios based on Eni’s Consolidated Financial Statements or a minimum level of credit rating. According to the agreements, should the Company lose the minimum credit rating, new guarantees would be required to be agreed upon with the European Investment Bank. In addition, Eni entered into long-term and medium-term facilities with Citibank Europe Plc providing for conditions similar to those applied by the European Investment Bank. At June 30, 2014, debts subjected to restrictive covenants amounted to euro 2,211 million (euro 1,782 million and December 31, 2013). A possible non-compliance with those covenants would be immaterial to the Company’s ability to finance its operations. As of the balance sheet date, Eni was in compliance with those covenants.
Ordinary bonds of euro 17,761 million (euro 18,151 million at December 31, 2013) consisted of bonds issued within the Euro Medium Term Notes Program for a total of euro 13,536 million and other bonds for a total of euro 4,225 million.

price of approximately euro 4.33 a share, representing a 20% premium to market prices current at the date of the issuance.
The convertible bond amounting to euro 1,011 million (nominal value of euro 1,028 million) is exchangeable into ordinary shares of Galp Energia SGPS SA due within the next 18 months. Underlying the exchangeable bond are approximately 66.3 million ordinary shares of Galp, corresponding to approximately 8% of the current outstanding share capital of Galp at a strike price of approximately euro 15.50 a share, representing a 35% premium to market prices current at the date of the issuance.
Convertible bonds of both issues are stated at amortized cost, while the call option embedded in the bonds is measured at fair value through profit. Changes in fair value of the shares underlying the bonds were reported through profit as opposed to equity based on the fair value option provided by IAS 39 from inception.
As of June 30, 2014, Eni had undrawn long-term committed borrowing facilities of euro 5,721 million (euro 4,719 million at December 31, 2013). Those facilities bore interest rates reflecting prevailing conditions on the marketplace; charges for unutilized facilities were immaterial.
Eni has in place a program for the issuance of Euro Medium Term Notes up to euro 15 billion, of which about euro 13.3 billion were drawn as of June 30, 2014.
The Group has credit ratings of A and A-1 respectively for long and short-term debt assigned by Standard & Poor’s and A3 and P-2 for long and short-term debt assigned by Moody’s. The outlook is negative in both ratings. 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. On the basis of the methodologies used by Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s, a potential downgrade of Italy’s credit rating may trigger a potential knock-on effect on the credit rating of Italian issuers such as Eni and make it more likely that the credit rating of the notes or other debt instruments issued by the Company could be downgraded.
Fair value of long-term debt, including the current portion of long-term debt amounted to euro 25,724 million (euro 22,891 million at December 31, 2013):

The fair value of convertible bonds was determined on the basis of the market quotation. The fair value of other bonds was calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows at discount rates ranging from 0.3% to 3.5% (0.5% and 4.2% at December 31, 2013).
As of June 30, 2014, Eni did not pledge restricted deposits as collateral against its borrowings.

Fair values of non-hedging derivatives of euro 194 million (euro 282 million at December 31, 2013) consisted of: (i) euro 58 million (euro 155 million at December 31, 2013) of derivatives that did not meet the formal criteria to be designated as hedges under IFRS because they were entered into in order to manage net business exposures to foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates or commodity prices. Therefore, such derivatives were not related to specific trade or financing transactions; (ii) euro 136 million (euro 127 million at December 31, 2013) related to the call option embedded in the bonds convertible into Snam SpA and Galp Energia SGPS SA ordinary shares for euro 103 million and euro 33 million, respectively (further information is disclosed in note 20 - Long-term debt and current portion of long-term debt).

27 Guarantees, commitments and risks

Guarantees
The amount of guarantees remained unchanged from the Annual Report 2013.

Commitments and risks
The amount of commitments and risks remained unchanged from the Annual Report 2013.

Risk factors

Financial risks
Eni considers financial risks those risks connected with market, credit and liquidity.
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 measurement 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 departments 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 SpA, 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. The commodity risk of each business unit (Eni’s Divisions or subsidiaries) is pooled and managed by the Midstream department, while Eni Trading & Shipping SpA executes the negotiation of commodity derivatives. Eni Trading & Shipping SpA and Eni SpA perform trading activities in financial derivatives on external trading venues, such as European and non-European regulated markets, Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF) 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 SpA and Eni SpA on the basis of the relevant asset class expertises. 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, its exposure is subject to specific controls, both in

- 106 -

terms of 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 measurement 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; (iii) Value at Risk (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 value at risk, pooling Group companies’ risk positions maximizing, when possible, the benefits of the netting activity. Eni’s calculation and measurement 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 preset targets of stabilizing industrial and commercial margins. The maximum tolerable level of risk exposure is defined in terms of value at risk, limits of revision strategy, stop loss and volumes in connection with exposure deriving from commercial activities, centrally managed by the Midstream department, as well as exposure deriving from proprietary trading, exclusively managed by Eni Trading & Shipping SpA. 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 SpA, in addition to managing risk exposure associated with its own commercial activity and proprietary trading, pools the Midstream department 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 represents for Eni a new type of market risk, the price risk of strategic cash. This type of risk is part of the management of strategic cash 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.

Exchange rate risk
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

Eni Interim Consolidated Report / Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

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 through the use of certain derivatives, such as currency swaps, forwards and options. Such derivatives are evaluated at fair value on the basis of 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 in accordance with IAS 39. The VaR techniques are based on variance/covariance simulation models and are used to monitor 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.

Interest rate risk
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. Borrowing requirements of Group companies are pooled by the Group’s central finance department in order to manage net positions and the funding of portfolio developments consistently with management’s plans while maintaining a level of risk exposure within prescribed limits. Eni enters into interest rate derivative transactions, in particular interest rate swaps, to effectively manage the balance between fixed and floating rate debt. Such derivatives are evaluated at fair value on the basis of 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 in accordance with IAS 39. Value at risk deriving from interest rate exposure is measured daily on the basis of a variance/covariance model, with a 99% confidence level and a 20-day holding period.

Commodity risk
Eni’s results of operations are affected by changes in the prices of commodities. A decrease in oil and 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 plans and budget.
The commodity price risk arises in connection with the following exposures:
a) 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 and 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.
b) 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 on the basis of risk/return assumptions by implementing one or more strategies and subjected to specific risk limits (VaR, stop loss). In particular, the commercial exposures include exposures subjected to asset backed hedging activities, arising from the flexibility/optionality of assets.
c) 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. The commodity risk and the exposure to commodity prices fluctuations embedded in commodities quoted in currencies other than the euro at each business unit (Eni’s Divisions or subsidiaries) is pooled and managed by the Portfolio Management unit of the Midstream department for commodities, and by Eni’s finance department for exchange rate requirements. The Midstream department manages business units’ risk exposures to commodities, pooling and optimizing Group companies’ exposures and hedging net exposures on the trading venues through the trading unit of Eni Trading & Shipping SpA. In order to manage commodity price risk, Eni uses derivatives traded on the organized markets of ICE and NYMEX (futures) and derivatives traded over the counter (swaps, forward, contracts for differences and options) with the underlying commodities being crude oil, refined products or electricity. Such derivatives are evaluated at fair value on the basis of market prices provided from specialized sources or, absent market prices, on the basis of estimates provided by brokers or suitable evaluation techniques.
Value at risk deriving from commodity exposure is measured daily on the basis of a historical simulation technique, with a 95% confidence level and a one-day holding period.

Price risk of the 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 impact 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 a reserve of liquidity 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) maintain/improve the current credit rating by strengthening balance sheet structure, as well as the concurrent availability of a liquidity reserve which will meet the requirements of rating agencies.
Strategic liquidity management is regulated in terms of Value at Risk (measured on the basis of a historical simulation technique, 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.
The following table shows amounts in terms of Value at Risk, recorded in the firs half 2014 (compared with 2013) relating to interest rate and exchange rate risks in the first section, and commodity risk in the second section.

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. Also 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 SpA 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 a situation would negatively impact 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. As part of its financial planning process, Eni manages the liquidity risk by targeting such a capital structure as to allow the Company to maintain a level of liquidity adequate to the Group’s needs, optimizing the opportunity cost of maintaining liquidity reserves also achieving an efficient balance in terms of maturity and composition of finance debt. For this purpose, Eni holds a significant amount of liquidity reserve (financial assets plus committed credit lines), which aims to: (a) deal with identified risk factors that could significantly affect the cash flow expected in the Financial Plan (i.e. changes in the scenario and/or production volumes, delays in disposals, limitations in profitable acquisitions); (b) ensure a full coverage of short-term debt and the coverage of medium and long-term

- 110 -


Contents
Eni Interim Consolidated Report / Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

debts with a maturity of 24 months, even in case of restrictions to the credit access; and (c) ensuring the availability of an adequate level of financial flexibility to support the Group’s development plans.
The financial asset reserve is employed in short-term marketable financial instruments, favoring 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 euro 15 billion, of which about euro 13.3 billion were drawn as of June 30, 2014.
The Group has credit ratings of A and A-1, respectively for long and short-term debt assigned by Standard & Poor’s and A3 and P-2 assigned by Moody’s; the outlook is negative for Standard & Poor’s and stable for 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. On the basis of the methodologies used by Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s, a potential downgrade of Italy’s credit rating may trigger a potential knock-on effect on the credit rating of Italian issuers such as Eni and make it more likely that the credit rating of the notes or other debt instruments issued by the Company could be downgraded. Eni, through the constant monitoring of the international economic environment and continuing dialogue with financial investors and rating agencies, believes to be ready to perceive emerging critical issues screened by the financial community and to be able to react quickly to any changes in the financial and the global macroeconomic environment and implement the necessary actions to mitigate such risks, coherently with Company strategies.
In the course of the first half 2014, Eni issued a bond amounting to euro 1 billion related to the Euro Medium Term Notes Program.
As of June 30, 2014, Eni maintained short-term unused borrowing facilities of euro 12,375 million, of which euro 41 million committed. Long-term committed borrowing facilities amounted to euro 5,721 million, of which euro 150 million were due within 12 months, which were completely undrawn at the balance sheet date. These facilities bore interest rates and fees for unused facilities that reflected prevailing market conditions.

Expected payments by period under contractual obligations and commercial commitments
The Group has in place a number of contractual obligations arising in the normal course of the business. To meet these commitments, the Group will have to make payments to third parties. The Company’s main obligations pertain to take-or-pay clauses contained in the Company’s gas supply contracts or shipping arrangements, whereby the Company obligations consist of off-taking minimum quantities of product or service or, in case of failure, paying the corresponding cash amount that entitles the Company the right to collect the product or the service in future years. Future obligations in connection with these contracts were calculated by applying the forecasted prices of energy or services included in the four-year business plan approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The table below summarizes the Group principal contractual obligations as of the balance sheet date, shown on an undiscounted basis.

Disclosures on fair value of financial instruments
Following the classification of financial assets and liabilities, measured at fair value in the balance sheet, is provided according to the fair value hierarchy defined on the basis of the relevance of the inputs used in the measurement process. In particular, on the basis of the features of the inputs used in making the measurements, the fair value hierarchy shall have the following levels:
a) Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial assets or liabilities;
b) Level 2: measurements based on inputs, other than quoted prices above, which, for assets and liabilities that have to be measured, can be observable directly (e.g. prices) or indirectly (e.g. deriving from prices); and
c) Level 3: inputs not based on observable market data.

Financial instruments measured at fair value in the balance sheet as of at June 30, 2014, were classified as follows: (i) level 1 "Quoted financial assets held for trading", "Financial assets available for sale",

Legal Proceedings
Eni is a part to a number of civil actions and administrative arbitral and other judicial proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business.
The following is a summary of the most significant proceedings currently pending for which significant developments occurred in the first half of 2014 with respect to the situation reported in the Annual Report 2013, including new proceedings. Unless otherwise is indicated below, no provisions have been made for these legal proceedings as Eni believes that negative outcomes are not probable or because the amount of the provision cannot be estimated reliably.

1. Environment

1.1 Civil and administrative proceedings in the matters of environment, health and safety
(i) Syndial SpA (former EniChem SpA) - Summon for alleged environmental damage caused by DDT pollution in the Lake Maggiore - Prosecuting body: Ministry of the Environment.
In May 2003, the Ministry of the Environment summoned Syndial (former EniChem) to obtain a sentence condemning the Eni subsidiary to compensate an alleged environmental damage caused by the activity of the Pieve Vergonte plant in the years 1990 through 1996. With a temporarily executive sentence dated July 3, 2008, the District Court of Turin sentenced the subsidiary Syndial SpA to compensate environmental damages amounting to euro 1,833.5 million, plus legal interests that accrued from the filing of the decision. Syndial and Eni technical-legal consultants have considered the decision and the amount of the compensation to be without factual and legal basis and have concluded that a negative outcome of this proceeding is unlikely. Particularly, Eni and its subsidiary deem the amount of the environmental damage to be absolutely wholly groundless as the sentence has been considered to lack sufficient elements to support such a material amount of the liability charged to Eni and its subsidiary with respect to the volume of pollutants ascertained by the Italian environmental minister. Based on these technical-legal advices also supported by external

accounting consultants, no provisions have been made against the proceeding. In July 2009, Syndial filed an appeal against the above mentioned sentence, and consequently the proceeding continued before a second degree court. In the hearing of June 15, 2012, before the Second Degree Court of Turin, the Minister of the Environment, formalized trough the Board of State Lawyers its decision to not execute the sentence until a final verdict on the whole matter is reached. The Second Degree Court requested Syndial to stand as defendant and then requested a technical appraisal of the matter. This technical appraisal reached a favorable outcome for Syndial; however such outcome has been questioned by the Board of State Lawyers. The hearing for the discussion of the conclusions was held on May 2, 2014. The Judge set the deadline for the filing of conclusions and replies. The ruling is expected in December 2014.

(ii) Kashagan. On March 7, 2014, the Atyrau Region Environmental Department (ARED) launched a series of civil claims against the consortium developing the Kashagan field. These proceedings allege to certain emissions associated with gas flaring occurring during commissioning have resulted in infringements of environmental laws and environmental damages. The aggregate value of the civil claims is approximately US $730 million (KZT 134 billion), of which Eni’s share would be approximately US $123 million (KZT 22.5 billion). The Kashagan project’s consortium disputes these allegations.

(iii) Syndial SpA and Versalis SpA - Summon for alleged environmental damage caused by illegal waste disposal in the municipality of Melilli (Sicily). In May 2014, the municipality of Melilli summoned Eni’s subsidiaries Syndial, Versalis and SMA.RI Srl for the environmental damage allegedly caused by carrying out illegal waste disposal activities and unauthorized landfill by the mentioned Eni’s companies. In particular, the arraignment concerns the responsibilities of Syndial and Versalis for the production of waste, acting in quality of commissioners, because the source of the dangerous waste (in particular, the waste with high mercury concentration and railway sleepers no longer in use) would have been allegedly traced back to the Priolo and Gela industrial sites that are managed by the above mentioned Eni’s subsidiaries. This proceeding is part of a larger criminal procedure which took place in 2001-2003 with regard to the so-called "the Red Sea case". Such waste would have been illegally disposed at the SMA.RI’s unauthorized landfill (this landfill is located about 2 kilometers from the town of Melilli). The damage is estimated at euro 500 million or another amount which will be defined during the trial. The first hearing, set for November 10, 2014, will be held by the court of Siracusa.

1.2 Antitrust, EU Proceedings, Actions of the Authority for Electricity, Gas and Water and of Other Regulatory Authorities
(i) Eni SpA - Preliminary investigation of the Italian Authority for Electricity Gas and Water (AEEG) about the invoicing to retail clients of gas and electricity.
With the resolution 477/2013/S/Com published on October 31, 2013, the Italian AEEG resolved to commence a preliminary investigation to ascertain whether Eni violated certain administrative provisions that regulate the periodical invoicing in the retail selling of gas and electricity. The investigation also includes alleged delays in the invoice of certain documentation which is required in case of change of supplier. Upon the finalization of the investigation, the AEEG may impose an administrative sanction including a possible fine in accordance to Law No. 481/1995, which can currently not be estimated. With the deliberation 306/2014/S/com published on July 1, 2014, the AEEG accepted Eni’s commitments, presented in order to close the preliminary investigation without verification of the illicit behavior and without sanctions and launched a consultation process of 30 days, in order to allow interested third parties to state their opinions. Later, based also on the expressed observations, the AEEG will decide whether to approve and make binding Eni’s commitments or to reject them and to continue the preliminary investigation. The proceeding is currently suspended until final provision on the commitments’ assessment is published by the AEEG.

2. Court inquiries and of Other Regulatory Authorities

(i) Alleged international corruption in the acquisition of Block OPL 245 Nigeria – Prosecuting body: Public Prosecutor in Milan. On July 2, 2014, the Italian Public Prosecutor in 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. According to the notice, the Prosecutor has commenced investigations involving a third party external to the Group and other unidentified persons. As part of the proceeding, Eni was also subpoenaed for documents and other evidence. According to the subpoena, the proceeding was commenced following a claim filed by ReCommon NGO relating to alleged corruptive practices which according to the Prosecutor would have 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 is fully cooperating with the Prosecutor and has promptly filed the requested documentation. Furthermore, Eni has reported the matter to the US Department of Justice and the US SEC. Finally, the Eni Watch Structure jointly with the Eni’s Board of Statutory auditors resolved to engage outside consultants, expert in anticorruption, to conduct a forensic, independent review of the matter, upon informing the judicial authorities. The findings of this review will be transmitted to the judicial authorities to ensure the highest possible degree of transparency and collaboration.

(ii) Eni SpA Refining & Marketing Division – Criminal proceedings on fuel excise tax (Criminal proceeding n. 6159/10 RGNR the Italian Public Prosecutor in Frosinone and criminal proceeding No. 7320/14 RGNR the Italian Public Prosecutor in Rome). Two criminal proceedings are 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. The first proceeding, opened by the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Frosinone against a third company (Turrizziani Petroli) purchaser of Eni’s fuel, is still pending in the phase of the preliminary investigation. This investigation was subsequently extended to Eni. The Company provided all data and information concerning the performance of 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 with promptness. 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 Fiscal Police from Frosinone, along with the local Customs Agency, in November 2013 issued a claim related to the evasion of the payment of excise taxes in the 2007-2012 periods for euro 1.55 million. In May 2014, the Customs Agency of Rome issued a payment notice relating to the above mentioned claim which was filed by the Fiscal Police and Customs Agency of Frosinone. The Company immediately appealed to the Tributary Commission. The second proceeding, opened by the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Rome, regarded alleged evasion of excise tax payment on the surplus of the unloading products, as quantity of such products was larger than the quantity reported in the supporting fiscal documents. This proceeding represents a development of the first proceeding above mentioned, and substantially concerns similar facts, with however some differences with regard to both the nature of the contested crimes and the responsibility subjected to verification. In fact, the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Rome has stated the alleged existence of a criminal conspiracy aimed at the 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 prosecutor in order to prove the correctness of its operation. Moreover, at the Company’s request, the National association of refiners asked the Italian Customs Agency to provide its advice on the correctness of the operating models adopted by Eni.

Eni Interim Consolidated Report / Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

introduced an additional income tax with a rate of 4% due on a taxable basis represented by the commercial profit before tax when the comprehensive income tax rate is lower than 19%. Eni started the procedure for the refund of such additional income tax paid for the fiscal year 2009 with the competent Tax Court claiming a double taxation effect on dividends received from European subsidiaries in violation of the Parent – Subsidiary Directive (Directive 90/435/EEC). In December 2013, the Second Degree Tax Court of Rome ruled in favor of Eni and recognized its right to be refunded. The Italian Tax Administration has not challenged this decision which became final in June 2014. The decision specifically provides the refund of a part of the additional tax paid for the fiscal year 2009 for an amount of about euro 76 million. Eni is verifying the possible effect of the decision on the payments already made in the past fiscal years (2010-2011-2012) and on the future payments: for this purpose Eni has also filed a ruling request to the competent Tax Authorities.

Net loss from derivatives of euro 33 million (net loss of euro 19 million in the first half of 2013) was recognized in connection with fair value valuation of certain derivatives which lacked the formal criteria to be treated in accordance with hedge accounting under IFRS as they were entered into for amounts equal to the net exposure to exchange rate risk and interest rate risk, and as such, they cannot be referred to specific trade or financing transactions. Exchange rate derivatives were entered into in order to manage exposures to foreign currency exchange rates arising from the pricing formulas of commodities in the Gas & Power

segment. The lack of formal requirements to qualify these derivatives as hedges under IFRS also entailed the recognition in profit or loss of currency translation differences on assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than functional currency, as this effect cannot be offset by changes in the fair value of the related instruments. Net loss on options of euro 10 million related to the measurement at fair value of the options embedded in the bonds convertible into ordinary shares of Galp Energia SGPS SA (income of euro 12 million) and Snam SpA (loss of euro 22 million).

32 Income taxes

(euro million)  

First half 2013

 

First half 2014

   
 
Current taxes:          
- Italian subsidiaries   279     149
- foreign subsidiaries   4,036     3,617
    4,315     3,766
Net deferred taxes:          
- Italian subsidiaries   (496 )   64
- foreign subsidiaries   106     281
    (390 )   345
    3,925     4,111

The effective tax rate was 68.2% (73.2% in the first half of 2013) compared with a statutory tax rate of 33.1% (44.5% in the first half of 2013). This was calculated by applying the Italian statutory tax rate on corporate profit of 27.5% (38.0%2 in the first half 2013) and a 3.5% corporate tax rate applicable to the net value of production (3.9% in the first half 2013) as provided for by Italian laws. This difference is the consequence of the impact of the net profit reported by the foreign companies of the Exploration & Production segment which are subjected to a higher tax rate compared to the Italian statutory tax rate.

 

33 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 average number of ordinary shares used for the calculation of the basic earnings per share outstanding for the first half of 2013 and 2014, was 3,622,797,043 and 3,614,997,939, respectively.
Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing net profit for the period attributable to Eni’s shareholders by the weighted average number of shares fully-diluted including shares outstanding in the period, excluding treasury shares, including the number of potential shares outstanding in connection with stock-based compensation plans.
As of June 30, 2013 and 2014, there are no treasury shares that could be potentially issued and, therefore, the weighted-average number of shares used in the calculation of the basic earnings coincides to the weighted-average number of shares used in the calculation of diluted earnings.

   

First half 2013

 

First half 2014

   
 
Average number of shares used for the calculation of the basic and diluted earnings per share       3,622,797,043   3,614,997,939
Eni’s net profit   (euro million)   1,818   1,961
Basic and diluted earning per share   (euro per share)   0.50   0.54

 


(2) Includes a 5.5 percentage points supplemental tax rate on taxable profit of energy companies in Italy (whose primary activity is the production and marketing of hydrocarbons and electricity and with annual revenues in excess of euro 25 million) effective from January 1, 2008 and further increases of 1 percentage point effective from January 1, 2009, pursuant to the Law Decree No. 112/2008 (converted into Law No. 133/2008) and 4 percentage points effective from January 1, 2011, pursuant the Law Decree No. 138/2011 (converted into Law No. 148/2011) which enlarged the scope of application to include renewable energy companies and gas transport and distribution companies. These supplemental tax rates are not applicable to Eni in the first half of 2014.

Subsidiaries, joint arrangements and affiliates resident in countries with a privileged tax regime
Pending the publication of the decree that identifies the list of countries and territories allowing an adequate exchange of information and owning a taxation level not significantly lower than the one applied in Italy, at the present, the countries with a privileged tax regime are those identified by the decree issued by the Ministry for the Economy and Finance dated November 21, 2001: (i) in general and without distinctions, by Article 1; (ii) with the exclusion of specific cases, by Article 2; (iii) and, limitedly to some specific tax regimes, by Article 3. At December 31, 2013, Eni controls 12 companies or branches based (1) in countries with a privileged tax regime as identified by the Decree. Of these 12 companies, 7 are subject to taxation in Italy because they are included in the tax return of Eni. The remaining 5 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 or of the industrial and commercial activities carried out. Of these 12 companies, 9 come from the acquisitions of Lasmo Plc, Bouygues Offshore SA, the activities carried out in Congo by Maurel & Prom and Burren Energy
  Plc. As well, Eni controls 25 companies resident in countries or territories listed in Article 3 of the Decree that do not take advantage of the privileged regime provided for. These subsidiaries, resident or located in countries identified by the Decree, did not issued financial instruments and all the financial statements for 2013 were audited by Ernst & Young. In addition, at June 30, 2014, Eni owns, directly or indirectly, interests not lower than 20% in the profit of 11 companies resident or located in countries or territories with a privileged tax regime listed in the Decree, of which 3 are subject to taxation in Italy because they benefit of the privileged tax regime and 1 is only subject to local taxation as a consequence of the exemption obtained by the Italian Revenue Agency by taking into account of the industrial and commercial activities carried out. The remaining 7 companies are not subject to taxation in Italy because, although they are resident or located in countries or territories listed in Article 3 of the Decree, they do not take advantage of the privileged tax regime provided for in those countries. In the following list of subsidiaries, joint arrangements and associates, companies resident in countries or territories listed in the Decree are marked with a footnote indicating the reference to the articles of the Decree and the related taxation in Italy.
