NOC and Eni restart Greenstream pipeline
San Donato Milanese (MI), October 13, 2011 NOC (National Oil Corporation) Libya and Eni through Greenstream BV Libyan Branch, the gas transportation Joint Venture Company (NOC 50%, Eni 50%), have initiated today testing activities for the release of natural gas into the Greenstream pipeline, which connects the treatment plant of Mellitah on the Western part of the Libyan coast to Gela in Italy.
The volumes of gas shipped during the testing period mark the preliminary restart of the pipeline operations after eight months of stoppages due to the conflict in Libya.
The first tests are run with 3 million cubic meters of gas per day, produced by the Wafa field, located about 500 km South West of Tripoli in the Libyan desert; the field largely supply the Libyan gas domestic market used for power generation. Wafa field has been producing gas during the entire period of the conflict allowing electricity supply to the local population.
NOC and Eni, equal partners in the Greenstream BV company, operator of the pipeline, as well as in the Mellitah Oil & Gas Company, operator of production fields in Libya, have been working together, during the past months, to progressively restore production activities in all their participated fields in Libya.
Mellitah Oil & Gas, NOC and Eni are currently working
together to restart, during the month of November, both the gas
production from the offshore platform of Sabratah, located 110 km
from the Libyan coast in the Bahr Essalam gas field, and the
associated treatment and processing facilities at the Mellitah
Complex.
Bahr Essalam field is an important source of gas supply for
Greenstream and resuming production will trigger a gradual
increase of the volumes availability.
The restart of the Greenstream is the result of excellent cooperation between NOC and Eni, and represents the first major milestone reached by Eni's strong commitment to bring greater energy security to Italy.

ENI INCREASES THE MAMBA SOUTH GAS DISCOVERY IN MOZAMBIQUE BY 50%
San Donato Milanese (Milan), October 27, 2011 Eni announces that the discovery of gas made in the exploratory prospectus of Mamba South 1, Area 4 offshore Mozambique, is about 50% larger than what announced by the Company on October 20. During deepening of the well, it encountered a new separated pool that contains a potential of up to 7.5 Tcf of gas in place in clean sands from the Eocene age. The new sequence has about 90 m of gross gas pay and has also been successfully cored.
The well will be now drilled to the total depth of about 5,000 meters after which Eni will move to drill the second commitment well, Mamba North 1, located about 22 km north of Mamba South 1 location.
It is expected that the unprecedented potential of Tertiary Play existing in area 4 will be further defined in the forthcoming appraisal campaign.
Eni has already begun the front end activities to timely market the gas both internationally and locally.
Eni considers that this discovery can lead to a potential of up to 22.5 Tcf of gas in place in the Mamba South Area.
Eni is the operator of Offshore Area 4 with a 70-percent participating interest. Co-owners in the area are Galp Energia (10 percent), KOGAS (10 percent) and ENH (10 percent, carried through the exploration phase).

Adjusted operating profit
Eni reported adjusted operating profit for the third quarter
of 2011 at euro 4.61 billion, up by 12.3% from the year-earlier
quarter. This was due to improved operating performance in the
Exploration & Production Division (up 19.3%) driven by a
strong oil price environment, partly offset by the impact
associated with a lowered Libyan output. Also the Engineering
& Construction segment posted higher results (up 5.4%) on the
back of a stronger turnover and increased margins on works, while
a slightly better trading environment helped the Refining &
Marketing Division recoup some losses (up 85.7%). These positive
trends were partially offset by poor performance reported by the
Gas & Power Division (down 21.1% from a year ago) as gas
margins declined into negative territory due to strong
competitive pressures in addition to oversupply in the
marketplace and sluggish demand growth. The Divisions
performance did not take into account the possible benefits
associated with ongoing renegotiations of the Companys
long-term gas purchase contracts which may become effective
earlier than end of September 2011. Also the Petrochemical
Division reported a lower operating performance driven by high
costs for oil-based feedstock which were only partially
transferred to end prices. For the first nine months of 2011, the
Group reported improved operating profit compared to the first
nine months of 2010 (up by 9.2% to euro 13.71 billion) on the
back of better performances reported by the Exploration &
Production and, to a lesser extent, the Engineering &
Construction segment, partly offset by weak trends in the
Companys downstream gas, refining and petrochemical
businesses.
Adjusted net profit
Adjusted net profit for the third quarter of 2011 was euro
1.79 billion, an increase of 7% compared with the third quarter
of 2010. Improved operating performance reported in the quarter
was partly absorbed by higher net finance charges (down by euro
508 million) which were affected by negative fair value
evaluation of certain interest and exchange rate derivatives that
did not meet the formal criteria for hedge accounting.
Furthermore, the Group consolidated adjusted tax rate rose by
seven percentage points due to higher taxable profit recorded by
subsidiaries in the Exploration & Production Division and a
changed tax regime for certain Italian subsidiaries which
provided for an increase of four percentage points in the Italian
windfall tax levied on energy companies now at 10.5 percentage
points (the so-called Robin Tax) and its extension to gas
transport and distribution companies with retroactive effects to
the beginning of the year.
Adjusted net profit of the first nine months of 2011 was euro
5.43 billion (up 5.1% from the first nine months of 2010)
reflecting the same drivers as in the quarterly review.
Capital expenditure
Capital expenditure amounted to euro 2,929 million for the
quarter and euro 9,544 million for the first nine months, mainly
relating to continuing development of oil and gas reserves, the
upgrading of rigs and offshore vessels in the Engineering &
Construction segment and of the gas transport infrastructures.
- 2 -
Cash flow
In the third quarter of 2011 net cash generated by operating
activities amounted to euro 2,609 million (euro 11,205 million in
the first nine months). Proceeds on disposals amounted to euro
231 million mainly relating to the divestment of Enis gas
distribution activities in Brazil. These inflows were used to
fund part of the financing requirements associated with capital
expenditure incurred in the period and payment of the interim
dividend 2011 to Enis shareholders for euro 1,884 million.
As a result, net borrowings2 as of September 30, 2011
amounted to euro 28,273 million, representing an increase of euro
2,154 million from December 31, 2010, and of euro 2,295 million
from June 30, 2011.
Financial Ratios
Return on Average Capital Employed (ROACE)3 calculated
on an adjusted basis for the twelve-month period to September 30,
2011 was 10.4% (10.6% at September 30, 2010).
Ratio of net borrowings to shareholders equity including
non-controlling interest leverage3 was
0.49 at September 30, 2011, below the level achieved at December
31, 2010 (0.47). The ratio was positively influenced by net
profit for the period and currency translation differences which
improved compared to the situation at June 30, 2011. These
effects were overcome by increased net borrowings and dividend
payment.

Exploration & Production
Eni reported liquids and gas production of 1,473 kboe/d for the
third quarter of 2011 down by 13.6% from the third quarter of
2010 reflecting disruptions in the Libyan output as Enis
producing sites continued to be shut down in the quarter, with
the exception of the Wafa field to support local production of
electricity. Eni resumed activities in Libya at the end of the
quarter by restarting the Abu-Attifel field.
Performance for the quarter was also negatively impacted by lower
entitlements in the Companys PSAs due to higher oil prices
with an overall effect of 37 kboe/d compared to the year-earlier
quarter (approximately 35 kboe/d from the first nine months of
2010), in addition to the above mentioned loss of Libyan output
amounting to an estimated 200 kboe/d (down by an estimated 180
kboe/d for the first nine months of 2011). Net of those effects,
production for the quarter was unchanged from the third quarter
of 2010, while it was down by 0.8% in the first nine months of
2011, helped by production growth achieved in Norway, Italy and
Egypt.
Gas & Power
In the third quarter of 2011 Enis gas sales were 17.96
bcm, a decrease of 3.4% compared with the third quarter of 2010
which reflected sharply lower off-takes by Italian importers
(down 70.1%) due to the disruption of Libyan gas supplies. Also
volumes marketed on the domestic market fell by 0.31 bcm, down
4.7%, dragged down by lower spot sales and weak consumption of
gas-fired power plants. Those declines were partly offset by
volumes gains in European markets (up by 2.7% in the third
quarter of 2011) mainly driven by growth registered in Turkey and
increased LNG sales in South America and Japan. In the first nine
months of 2011 natural gas sales increased by 4.4% from the
previous year. This increase was supported by client additions
and increases in Enis Italian market share and growth
recorded in the European gas markets, which more than offset
lower off-takes from Italian importers.

Refining & Marketing
In the third quarter of 2011, refining margins of the
Mediterranean area recorded a slight recovery (the TRC Brent was
up by 37.3% to $2.9 dollar per barrel from the third quarter of
2010; down by 27.8% from the first nine months of 2010),
reversing the negative trend of previous quarters. However,
refining margins remained at unprofitable levels in an extremely
volatile environment. Enis complex cycles were helped by
improved ratio of prices of the main distillates to the cost of
the fuel oil. These positive factors were partly absorbed by
rising oil-linked costs for plant utilities.
In the third quarter of 2011, Enis sales volumes on the
Italian retail market decreased by 2.2% from a year ago (down by
2.3% in the first nine months of 2011), while a higher reduction
was recorded in fuel consumption. The market share for the period
increased by 0.5 percentage points to 31.2% compared to the same
year-earlier period. Also retail sales on European markets were
weaker in the quarter due to lower demand and higher competitive
pressure (down by 12.1% in the quarter; down by 3.8% in the first
nine months) with reductions in Austria, Germany, France and
Eastern Europe.
Currency
Results of operations for the third quarter and first nine
months of 2011 were negatively impacted by the appreciation of
the euro vs. the US dollar (up by 9.5% and 6.9% in the quarter
and in the first nine months of 2011, respectively).
Update on the Libyan situation
The environment in Libya has been progressively stabilizing recently. In August and September a number of contacts took place between Eni and the Interim Transitional National Council in order to identify terms and conditions for quick and complete resumption of Enis activities in the Country, including the restart of the GreenStream pipeline, transporting gas from Libya to Italy. Following these contacts, Eni in collaboration with the management of the Libyan Oil Company, NOC, defined a recovery plan covering all productive sites and installations. The Abu Attifel field was the first to start production. Enis offices in Tripoli also re-opened. More importantly, operations for the restart of the GreenStream pipeline are progressing with a target to gradually resume export to Italy. Considering that no damage has been reported at Enis production plants and transportation facilities, management believes that it is likely that oil production will flow at the pre-crisis plateau in about twelve months, while gas volumes ramp-up will be achieved in less time, estimated in few months. Eni and the Libyan counterparts confirmed the validity of the existing petroleum contracts.
Business developments
Indonesia
In the first Indonesian International Bid Round 2011, Eni, as
operator of a consortium including other international oil
companies has been awarded the North Ganal Block, located
offshore East Kalimantan. Eni will be the operator of the PSC
(Production Sharing Contract), which will be signed by the end of
the year. The North Ganal Block covers an area of 2,432 square km
in the Kutei Basin, a prolific hydrocarbon area. The North Ganal
deal involves the drilling of 1 well and the carrying out of 200
km of 2D seismic survey during the first 3 years of exploration.
North Sea
In September 2011 Eni signed a preliminary agreement with GDF
SUEZ to acquire a 10.4% interest in the Elgin-Franklin field,
located in the UK North Sea basin, adding to the current interest
of 21.8%. The transaction is worth euro 590 million. This
acquisition will complement Enis portfolio in this area,
leveraging existing asset knowledge. The agreement is subject to
certain conditions including another oil company waiving to its
pre-emption right on the interest sold by GDF SUEZ.
Brazil
On July 30, 2011, with the approval of the relevant Brazilian
Authorities, Eni finalized the divestment of its 100% interest in
Gas Brasiliano Distribuidora, a company that markets and
distributes natural gas in Brazil, to Petrobras Gàs, a fully
owned subsidiary of Petróleo Brasileiro ("Petrobras").
Total cash consideration amounted to $271 million.
- 4 -
Belgium
In July 2011, Eni signed an agreement with NV Nuon Energy for
acquiring the subsidiary Nuon Belgium NV. The company supplies
gas and electricity to the industrial and residential segments in
Belgium. The agreement is subject to the approval of the relevant
Authorities. The expected cash consideration amounts to
approximately euro 210 million.
Agreements with Gazprom
As part of their strategic partnership, in September 2011,
Eni and Gazprom signed arrangements to move forward certain
projects of joint interest:
- | South Stream Project | |
They agreed on terms and conditions for enlarging the partnership of the South Stream project to include gas operators Wintershall and EDF, each with a 15% interest in the initiative. | ||
- | Elephant oilfield in Libya | |
Gazprom reaffirmed its interest in acquiring half of Enis stake (33.3%) in the consortium developing the Elephant oilfield in Libya, located in the South-Western desert, around 800 km from Tripoli with a production plateau of over 100 kboe/d. | ||
- | Gas Projects in Siberia | |
They signed a contract whereby Gazprom commits to purchase volumes of gas produced by the joint-venture Severenergia (Eni 29.4%) through the development of the Samburgskoye field. The agreement secured a final investment decision for the field development. Start-up is expected in 2012. |
Exploration activities
In the third quarter of 2011, significant exploratory
successes were achieved in:
(i) | Angola, with the Lira discovery (Eni operator with a 35% interest) containing oil&gas resources, located in offshore Block 15/06; | |
(ii) | Indonesia, with the Jangkrik North East discovery in the offshore block Muara Bakau (Eni operator with a 55% interest); | |
(iii) | Mozambique, where a giant gas discovery was made with the Mamba South 1 offshore well (Eni operator with a 70% interest), located in Area 4 in the Rovuma Basin. The Mamba South 1 discovery well was drilled in two sequential stages. According to field test results, the mineral potential of the area is huge up to 22.5 TCF of gas in place, confirming the Rovuma Basin as a world-class natural gas province. The first exploration well makes it the largest operated discovery in the Companys exploration history. |
Main production start-ups
In line with the Companys production plans, production
was started at the following main fields:
(i) | Denise B (Enis interest 50%) in the Nile Delta in Egypt, second development phase of the homonymous field, with an initial production of approximately 7 kboe/d; | |
(ii) | Kitan (Eni operator with a 40% interest) located between East Timor and Australia. The Kitan field is being produced through deep water subsea completion wells connected to an FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading) facility and is expected to reach peak production of about 40 kbbl/d. |
Divestment of international pipelines
On September 22, 2011 Eni signed a preliminary agreement to divest to Fluxys G its assets in the international gas transport pipelines connecting Northern Europe to Italy. The divested assets include Enis interests in the entities owning the Transitgas (Switzerland) and TENP (Germany) pipelines and the entities handling capacity entitlements. The expected total consideration amounts to 975 million Swiss francs for the Transitgas gas pipeline and euro 60 million for the TENP gas pipeline. This transaction is part of the commitments agreed with the European Commission on September 29, 2010 and is, therefore, subject to its approval. The divestiture process is expected to be completed by the end of the year. Following the conclusion of the transaction, the ship-or-pay contract signed by Eni with the divested entities will remain in place.

Outlook
The outlook for 2011 reflects signs of a slowdown in the
global economic activity, particularly in the OECD Countries
where market participants have been reining on investment
decisions and spending. Eni forecasts a steady trend for Brent
crude prices, although on a slightly weaker than-anticipated
trend which considers progress achieved in stabilizing the Libyan
crisis. For its short-term economic and financial projections,
Eni is assuming an average Brent price of 111 $/bbl for the full
year 2011. Management expects that the European gas market will
remain weak against the backdrop of sluggish demand growth,
abundant supplies and ongoing competitive pressures.
Profitability of gas operators will continue to suffer from
negative spreads between spot prices at continental hubs and the
oil-linked cost of gas supplies provided in long-term contracts,
in spite of the fact that spot prices have recovered throughout
the year. Refining margins are expected to remain at unprofitable
levels as high feedstock costs and rising oil-linked costs for
plant utilities are partially absorbed by refined products prices
pressured by sluggish demand and excess capacity.
Against this backdrop, management expectations about the main
trends in the Companys businesses for 2011 are disclosed
below.
- | Production of liquids and natural gas: is forecast to decline from the level achieved in 2010 (1.815 million boe/d at 80 $/bbl) at the Companys pricing scenario of 111 $/bbl for the full year. The decline is expected as a result of volume losses in Libya following the shutdown of almost all of the Companys production facilities. Assuming an addition from the resumption of Libyan activities in the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to the plateau recorded in the third quarter, management forecasts a 10 percentage point reduction in the expected production plateau for the full year at a constant pricing scenario. Management has been implementing its plans to target production growth in the Companys assets by ramping up fields that were started in 2010, starting up new fields as well as executing production optimizations in particular in Nigeria, Norway, Egypt, Angola and the United Kingdom. In addition to those already achieved in the nine-month period to September 30, 2011, the Company is planning to start new field production in Italy, Egypt and Nigeria in the fourth quarter of the year; | |
- | Worldwide gas sales: are expected to grow compared to the level achieved in 2010 (in 2010 actual sales amounted to 97.06 bcm), in spite of expected sales losses at certain Italian importers due disruption of gas supplies from Libya. Management plans to drive volume growth in Italy, leveraging client additions in the power generation, industrial and wholesale segments, as well as regaining significant market share, and capitalizing on organic growth in key European markets. Considering mounting competitive pressure in the gas market, the achievement of the planned volume targets will be underpinned by strengthening the Companys leadership on the European market; marketing actions intended to strengthen the customer base in the domestic market and renegotiating the Companys long-term gas purchase contracts. The cash flow impact associated with lower sales to Italian shippers will be offset by expected lower cash outflows associated with the Companys take-or-pay gas purchase contracts as the Company is planning to meet lower availability of Libyan gas with gas from other sources in its portfolio; | |
- | Regulated businesses in Italy: will benefit from the pre-set regulatory return on new capital expenditure and continuing efficiency actions; | |
- | Refining throughputs on Enis account: are expected to decline compared to 2010 (actual throughputs in 2010 were 34.8 mmtonnes). The decline is mainly expected at the Venice refinery due to a weak trading environment forcing the Company to cut production and difficulties in supplying Libyan crude oil. Higher volumes are expected to be processed at the Sannazzaro and Taranto refineries. Also the Company expects to cope with an unfavorable trading environment by stepping up efficiency efforts and optimizing refinery cycles; | |
- | Retail sales of refined products in Italy and the rest of Europe: are expected to be slightly lower than in 2010 (11.73 mmtonnes in 2010) against the backdrop of weaker fuel demand. Management plans to counteract that negative trend by leveraging selective pricing and marketing initiatives, developing the "non-oil" business and service upgrade; | |
- | The Engineering & Construction business: confirms solid results due to increasing turnover and a robust order backlog. |
In 2011, management expects capital expenditure to be broadly in line with 2010 (euro 13.87 billion was invested in 2010), these investments will be mainly directed towards developing giant fields, starting production at new important fields in the Exploration & Production Division, refinery upgrading related in particular to the realization of the EST project, completing the program of enhancing Saipems fleet of vessels and rigs, and upgrading the natural

gas transport infrastructure. Management expects to invest approximately euro 0.8 billion in new portfolio initiatives. Assuming a Brent price of 111 $/barrel, the proceeds from the divestment of certain assets which are in the final stage of the divestiture procedure and the benefit associated with ongoing renegotiations of the Company's gas purchase contracts, management forecasts that the ratio of net borrowings to total equity (leverage) at year-end will be lower than in 2010.

Cautionary statement
This press release, in particular the statements under
the section "Outlook", contains certain forward-looking
statements particularly those regarding capital expenditure,
development and management of oil and gas resources, dividends,
allocation of future cash flow from operations, future operating
performance, gearing, targets of production and sales growth, new
markets, and the progress and timing of projects. By their
nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on
circumstances that will or may occur in the future. Actual
results may differ from those expressed in such statements,
depending on a variety of factors, including the timing of
bringing new fields on stream; managements ability in
carrying out industrial plans and in succeeding in commercial
transactions; future levels of industry product supply; demand
and pricing; operational problems; general economic conditions;
political stability and economic growth in relevant areas of the
world; changes in laws and governmental regulations; development
and use of new technology; changes in public expectations and
other changes in business conditions; the actions of competitors
and other factors discussed elsewhere in this document. Due to
the seasonality in demand for natural gas and certain refined
products and the changes in a number of external factors
affecting Enis operations, such as prices and margins of
hydrocarbons and refined products, Enis results from
operations and changes in net borrowings for the first half of
the year cannot be extrapolated on an annual basis.

Group results
Eni reported increased net profit attributable to Enis shareholders for the third quarter of 2011 at euro 1,770 million, up euro 46 million, or 2.7%, from the year-earlier quarter. The increase reflected an improved operating performance (up by 10.3%) mainly due to the better performance from the Exploration & Production, Engineering & Construction and Refining & Marketing Divisions, which were partly offset by weak trends in Enis downstream gas business and petrochemicals. The quarterly increase in operating profit was partly offset by higher net finance charges (up euro 522 million) mainly due to losses on fair value evaluation through profit and loss of certain derivative instruments on interest and exchange rates which did not meet the formal criteria to be designed as hedges under IFRS. Furthermore, quarterly results were negatively affected by a higher consolidated tax rate up by approximately 8 percentage points, mainly due to: (i) higher taxable profit reported by subsidiaries of the Exploration & Production Division operating outside Italy, and (ii) recently enacted tax provisions for Italian subsidiaries as per Decree No. 148 of September 2011, converting the Law Decree No. 138/2011 pursuant to urgent measures for financial stabilization and economic development. This Law enacted a rate of 10.5 percentage points in the Italian windfall tax levied on energy companies (the so-called Robin Tax), representing an increase of four percentage points from the previous rate, and its extension to gas transport and distribution companies with retroactive effects to the beginning of the year. The increase adds to the ordinary Italian statutory tax rate of 27.5% on corporate profits, bringing the total statutory tax rate to 38%, and a further 3.9% to 4.2% rate provided by an Italian local tax basically levied on a taxable gross margin given by revenues less raw material and services costs as well as amortization charges. As a result of the increased Robin Tax, net profit for the third quarter of 2011 was affected by higher currently payable income taxes amounting to euro 166 million (euro 130 million the impact on the adjusted net profit), including income taxes pertaining to the first half of 2011 (approximately euro 116 million; euro 80 million the impact on the adjusted net profit).
Net profit attributable to Enis shareholders for the first nine months of 2011 amounted to euro 5,571 million, down euro 199 million from 2010, or 3.4%, due to higher income taxes (down euro 791 million) with an increased Groups tax rate (up by 3.6 percentage points) and increasing net finance charges (down euro 298 million). These negatives were partly offset by a better operating performance (up 5.4%) mainly recorded by the Exploration & Production Division benefiting from higher crude oil prices.
In the third quarter of 2011 adjusted net profit attributable to Enis shareholders amounted to euro 1,795 million, up euro 117 million from the third quarter of 2010, or 7%. In the first nine months of 2011, adjusted net profit was euro 5,429 million, up euro 262 million, or 5.1% from the first nine months of 2010. Adjusted net profit for the quarter was calculated excluding an inventory holding gain amounting to euro 10 million and special charges amounting to euro 35 million, resulting in a positive adjustment of euro 25 million. In the first nine months of 2011, an inventory holding gain of euro 654 million and special charges of euro 512 million resulted in a negative adjustment of euro 142 million.
In the first nine months of 2011, special charges in the operating profit included: (i) impairment charges of mineral assets in the Exploration & Production segment (euro 305 million), as certain gas properties in the USA were impaired due to negative reserve revisions and a reduced outlook for gas prices. In addition capital expenditure made in the period for safety reasons in the Refining & Marketing and Petrochemical Divisions plants was written off, as it related to assets totally impaired in previous reporting periods; (ii) a provision amounting to euro 69 million was accrued with regard to an antitrust proceeding in the European sector of elastomers following a decision by the European Court of Justice; (iii) negative fair value evaluation of certain commodity derivatives which did not meet the formal criteria for hedge accounting provided by IAS 39 (euro 234 million); (iv) environmental provisions and provisions for redundancy incentives (euro 63 million and euro 54 million, respectively). Special gains in the period mainly related to gains on disposal of marginal assets in the Exploration & Production Division.
Results by Division
The increase in the Group adjusted net profit reported in the third quarter of 2011 (up 7%) reflected an improved operating performance (up 12.3%) from the Exploration & Production Division and, to a less extent, the Engineering & Construction and Refining & Marketing Divisions, partly offset by lowered results in the Petrochemical and Gas & Power Divisions. In the first nine months of 2011, the Group adjusted net profit
- 9 -
increased by 5.1%, reflecting higher operating profit (up 9.2%) mainly due to better performance reported by the Exploration & Production Division and, to a less extent, the Engineering & Construction segment.
Exploration & Production
In the third quarter of 2011, the Exploration &
Production Division reported improved adjusted operating profit,
which was up by 19.3% to euro 3,931 million (up 20.5% in the
first nine months) driven by higher hydrocarbon realizations in
dollars (up by 37.8% and 33.5% on average, in the third quarter
and first nine months respectively) reflecting a favorable
trading environment. These positives were partly offset by the
impact associated with a lowered Libyan output and the
appreciation of the euro vs. the US dollar. Adjusted net profit
for the third quarter of 2011 was up by 24.5% to euro 1,655
million and by 28.9% to euro 5,172 million for the first nine
months of 2011.
Engineering & Construction
The Engineering & Construction segment reported a solid
operating performance of euro 333 million and euro 1,053 million
in the third quarter and the first nine months of 2011
respectively (up by 5.4% and 11.1%) driven by revenue growth and
higher profitability of works executed, mainly in the onshore and
drilling offshore businesses. Adjusted net profit increased by
10.5% and 12.8% respectively in the two reporting periods.
Refining & Marketing
In the third quarter of 2011 the Refining & Marketing
Division reported adjusted operating profit of euro 26 million,
increasing by euro 12 million from the third quarter of 2010,
driven by a slightly improved refining margins, and efficiency
gains. Results were partly offset by a decreased performance in
Marketing activities. Adjusted net profit for the quarter was
barely unchanged at euro 44 million.
In the first nine months of 2011 the Refining & Marketing
Division reported widening losses amounting to euro 264 million,
up euro 132 million from the same period in the previous year.
Losses were driven by sharply lower refining margins driven by
higher crude oil and oil-linked utilities costs which were only
partially transferred to end prices of products pressured by weak
industry fundamentals. Marketing results were penalized by weak
consumption and rapidly-escalating costs for products not fully
transferred in prices at the pump.
Net adjusted loss for the first nine months of 2011 amounted to
euro 132 million (compared to the break even recorded in the
first nine months of 2010) driven by the weakening operating
performance.
Gas & Power
In the third quarter of 2011, the Gas & Power Division
reported lower adjusted operating profit which was down by 21.1%
from the third quarter of 2010 (down by 33.3% in the first nine
months of 2011). The result was negatively affected by a
contraction in the performance of the Marketing business which
suffered losses in both the third quarter and the nine months of
2011 (down by euro 174 million and euro 934 million from the
third quarter and the first nine months of 2010, respectively).
The Marketing business was affected by sharply lower gas margins
both in Italy and Europe, which were dragged down by strong
competitive pressures, oversupply and a weak demand trend
negatively impacting selling prices. Also the quarterly
performance was impacted by disruption in Libyan gas availability
which affected both the supply mix, sales to shippers which
import Libyan gas to Italy, as well as by the unfavorable trends
in energy parameters. These negatives were partly offset by the
renegotiation of a long-term supply contract by Distrigas. The
lower results of the Marketing business were partly offset by the
better operating performance of the International Transport
business (up by 82.8% in the quarter; up by 28.4% in the first
nine months) and by the Regulated Business in Italy (up by 6.4%
in the quarter; up by 5% in the first nine months). The adjusted
net profit of the Division was euro 206 million in the third
quarter (down by 53%) and euro 1,208 million in the first nine
months (down by 36.9%).
Petrochemicals
In the third quarter of 2011 the Petrochemical Division
reported an operating loss of euro 80 million, reversing the
year-earlier profit of euro 31 million (down by euro 111
million). In the first nine months of 2011 the operating loss
increased by euro 83 million to a loss of euro 122 million. Those
trends were negatively impacted by falling product margins, with
the cracker margin severely hit by higher supply costs of
oil-based feedstock which were not recovered in sales prices on
end markets, and a substantial decrease in demand due to
expectations for a reduction of prices of petrochemical
commodities on the marketplace. Adjusted net loss increased by
euro 75 million to a loss of euro 57 million for the quarter
(down euro 37 million to a loss of euro 85 million in the first
nine months of 2011).

The slight appreciation of the euro versus the US dollar as of September 30, 2011 from December 31, 2010 (the EUR/USD exchange rate was 1.350 as of September 30, 2011, as compared to 1.336 as of December 31, 2010, up by 1.1%) reduced net capital employed, net equity and net borrowings by euro 457 million, euro 299 million, and euro 158 million respectively, due to exchange rate translation differences. On the contrary, the depreciation of the euro vs. the US dollar from June 30, 2011 (down by 6.6%), resulted in an increase of net capital employed, net equity and net borrowings of euro 2,309 million, euro 2,075 million, and euro 234 million respectively compared to that date.
Fixed assets amounted to euro 90,369 million, representing an increase of euro 2,906 million from December 31, 2010, reflecting the positive balance of capital expenditure incurred in the period (euro 9,544 million) as well as depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment charges (euro 6,223 million).
Net working capital amounted to a negative euro 3,611 million, representing an increase of euro 1,452 million from the closing balance as of December 31, 2010. This was due to increasing oil, gas and petroleum products inventories (up euro 1,570 million) impacted by rising oil and product prices on inventories stated at the weighted average cost and increased current and non current other assets and liabilities (up euro 1,011 million) mainly reflecting payment of payables in respect of the Companys gas suppliers outstanding as the end of 2010 due to
(4) | The summarized group balance sheet aggregates the amount of assets and liabilities derived from the statutory balance sheet in accordance with functional criteria which consider the enterprise conventionally divided into the three fundamental areas focusing on resource investments, operations and financing. Management believes that this summarized group balance sheet is useful information in assisting investors to assess Enis capital structure and to analyze its sources of funds and investments in fixed assets and working capital. Management uses the summarized group balance sheet to calculate key ratios such as return on capital employed (ROACE) and the proportion of net borrowings to shareholders equity (leverage) intended to evaluate whether Enis financing structure is sound and well-balanced. |

These increases were partly offset by higher tax payables and net provisions for deferred tax liabilities accrued in the period (down euro 1,523 million). The reduction of trade payables (euro 1,361 million) was absorbed by a similar amount relating to the reduction of trade receivables (euro 1,067 million).
Net assets held for sale including related liabilities (euro 240 million) mainly related to the associate TAG GmbH, and Enis subsidiaries and associates engaged in gas transport in Germany and Switzerland for which preliminary agreements have been signed to divest them to third parties.
Shareholders equity including non-controlling interest of euro 57,656 million increased by euro 1,928 million from the end of 2010. The comprehensive income for the period of euro 6,171 million which consisted of net profit for the period (euro 6,284 million), partly offset by negative exchange rate translation differences (down euro 299 million) and other items, was partly absorbed by dividend payments to Enis shareholders (euro 3,695 million, of which euro 1,884 million relating to the 2011 interim dividend) and non-controlling interests, mainly Snam Rete Gas and Saipem (euro 547 million).

(5) | Enis summarized group cash flow statement derives from the statutory statement of cash flows. It enables investors to understand the link existing between changes in cash and cash equivalents (deriving from the statutory cash flows statement) and in net borrowings (deriving from the summarized cash flow statement) that occurred from the beginning of the period to the end of period. The measure enabling such a link is represented by the free cash flow which is the cash in excess of capital expenditure needs. Starting from free cash flow it is possible to determine either: (i) changes in cash and cash equivalents for the period by adding/deducting cash flows relating to financing debts/receivables (issuance/repayment of debt and receivables related to financing activities), shareholders equity (dividends paid, net repurchase of own shares, capital issuance) and the effect of changes in consolidation and of exchange rate differences; (ii) change in net borrowings for the period by adding/deducting cash flows relating to shareholders equity and the effect of changes in consolidation and of exchange rate differences. The free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure of financial performance. |

Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to
euro 11,205 million in the first nine months of 2011.
Cash outflows relating to capital expenditure totaling euro 9,544
million and dividend payments amounting to euro 4,092 million
(which included dividends to Enis shareholders amounting to
euro 3,695 million and the remaining amounts to non-controlling
interests, particularly Saipem and Snam Rete Gas) were only
partly financed by cash flow from operating activities and
proceeds from asset disposals (euro 334 million, relating to a
gas distribution activity in Brazil and non-strategic assets in
the Exploration & Production Division). As a result of those
cash flows, net borrowings as of September 30, 2011 increased by
euro 2,154 million compared to December 31, 2010 to euro 28,273
million.
Furthermore cash flow provided by operating activities was negatively affected by lower cash inflow of euro 154 million associated with transferring trade receivables due beyond December 31, 2010 to factoring institutions amounting to euro 1,279 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, while the balance at September 30, 2011 benefited from transferring euro 1,125 million of trade receivables due beyond that date.

Results
In the third quarter of 2011, the Exploration & Production Division reported an adjusted operating profit amounting to euro 3,931 million, increasing by euro 635 million, or 19.3%, from the third quarter of 2010, driven by higher oil and gas realizations (oil up 48.4%; natural gas up 13.7%). This positive factor was partly offset by the impact associated with a lowered Libyan output due to continued disruptions at Enis producing sites as disclosed in the operating review below. In addition, the result of the Division was negatively impacted by the appreciation of the euro vs. the US dollar (down approximately euro 200 million).
- 14 -
Adjusted net profit for the third quarter of 2011 was up by euro 326 million, or 24.5%, to euro 1,655 million due to an improved operating performance.
Adjusted operating profit for the first nine months of 2011 was euro 11,877 million, representing an increase of euro 2,021 million from the first nine months of 2010, up 20.5%, driven by higher oil and gas realizations (oil up 44.2% and natural gas up 8.9%), partly offset by the impact associated with a lowered Libyan output and the appreciation of the euro vs. the US dollar (down approximately euro 500 million).
Special charges excluded from adjusted operating profit amounted to euro 159 million in the first nine months of 2011 (euro 12 million in the third quarter) and consisted mainly of impairment charges of gas properties in the USA, reflecting a reduced outlook for gas prices and downward reserve revisions, provision for redundancy incentives, gains on the divestment of non-strategic assets as well as the re-measurement gains recorded on fair value evaluation of the ineffective portion of certain cash flow hedge commodity derivatives.
Adjusted net profit for the first nine months of 2011 increased by euro 1,159 million to euro 5,172 million from the first nine months of 2010, up by 28.9%, due to an improved operating performance and higher results from equity-accounted and cost-accounted entities. The increase was also supported by a lower tax rate (down 2.4 percentage points) mainly due to non-taxable dividends from cost-accounted entities earned in the period and the reversal to profit of certain provisions which were taxed in previous reporting periods.
Operating review
Eni reported liquids and gas production of 1,473 kboe/d for the third quarter of 2011 down by 13.6% from the third quarter of 2010 reflecting disruptions in the Libyan output as Enis producing sites and the GreenStream pipeline continued to be shut down in the quarter, with the exception of the Wafa field to support local production of electricity and the Abu-Attifel field which restarted production late in the quarter only. Performance for the quarter was also negatively impacted by lower entitlements in the Companys PSAs due to higher oil prices with an overall effect of 37 kboe/d compared to the year-earlier quarter, in addition to the above mentioned loss of Libyan output amounting to an estimated 200 kboe/d. Net of these effects, production for the quarter was unchanged. Production increases in Norway, Italy, Iraq and Egypt were absorbed by planned facility downtime mainly in the UK, as well as lower performance in Angola and Congo.
Liquids production (793 kbbl/d) decreased by 155 kbbl/d, or
16.4%, due to production losses in Libya, lower entitlements in
the Companys PSAs and lower performance in Angola and
Congo. The main increases were registered in Norway, Italy, Iraq
and Kazakhstan also due to planned facility downtime registered
in the corresponding period of 2010.
Natural gas production (3,773 mmcf/d) decreased by 430 mmcf/d
(down 10.1%) due to production losses in Libya and planned
facility downtime mainly in the UK the partly offset by organic
growth achieved in Egypt and Norway.
Eni reported liquids and gas production of 1,548 kboe/d in the
first nine months of 2011 down by 12.4% from the first nine
months of 2010 due to production losses in Libya. Performance was
also negatively impacted by lower entitlements in the
Companys PSAs due to higher oil prices with an overall
effect of approximately 35 kboe/d from the first nine months of
2010, in addition to the above mentioned loss of Libyan output
amounting to an estimated 180 kboe/d. Net of these effects,
production for the first nine months decreased by 0.8 percentage
points mainly due to planned facility downtime and lower
performance in Angola and Congo.
The main increases were recorded in Norway, Iraq and Egypt.
Liquids production (828 kbbl/d) decreased by 151 kbbl/d, or
15.4% due to production losses in Libya and lower entitlements in
the Companys PSAs and lower performance in Angola and
Congo. The main increases were registered in Norway, Italy, Iraq
and Kazakhstan.
Natural gas production (3,997 mmcf/d) decreased by 380 mmcf/d
(down 8.9%) due to production losses in Libya and planned
facility downtime mainly in the UK although this was partly
offset by organic growth achieved in Egypt.
- 15 -
Liquids realizations for the third quarter increased by 48.4% on average in dollar terms (up by 44.2% in the first nine months), driven by higher oil prices for market benchmarks (the Brent crude price increased by 47.6% in the quarter; 45.1% in the first nine months). Enis average liquids realizations decreased by 1.65 $/bbl in the third quarter (1.55 $/bbl in the first nine months) due to the settlement of certain commodity derivatives relating to the sale of 2.3 mmbbl in the quarter (6.8 mmbbl in the first nine months). This was part of a derivative transaction the Company entered into in order to hedge exposure to the variability in future cash flows expected from the sale of a portion of the Companys proved reserves for an original amount of approximately 125.7 mmbbl in the 2008-2011 period, decreasing to approximately 2.2 mmbbl as of the end of September 2011. Enis average gas realizations increased at a slower pace in the quarter (up 13.7% in the quarter; up 8.9% in the first nine months), due to time lags in oil-linked pricing formulae and weak spot price in some areas (in particular USA).

Results
In the third quarter of 2011, the Gas & Power Division reported adjusted operating profit of euro 352 million, a decrease of euro 94 million from the third quarter of 2010, down 21.1% as a result of a sharply lower loss in the Marketing business, although this was partly offset by a steady performance delivered by International Transport and Regulated Businesses in Italy. The Marketing business results did not take into account the benefit associated with ongoing renegotiations of the Company's long-term gas purchase compacts which may become effective earlier than end of September 2011. The Marketing business results did not take into account certain gains on non-hedging commodity derivatives amounting to euro 65 million and euro 47 million, in the third quarters of 2011 and 2010,
- 17 -
respectively, which could be associated with sales of gas and electricity which occurred in both reporting periods. Those derivatives did not meet the formal criteria to be designated as hedges under IFRS and treated in accordance with hedge accounting; therefore gains or losses associated with those derivatives cannot be brought forward to the reporting periods when the associated sales occur. However, in assessing the underlying performance of the Marketing business, management calculates the EBITDA pro-forma adjusted which represents those derivatives as being hedges with associated gains and losses recognized in the reporting period when the relevant sales occur. Management believes that disclosing this measure is helpful in assisting investors to understand these particular business trends (see page 21). The EBITDA pro-forma adjusted also includes Enis share of results of associates and confirms the size of the decline of the business reflecting underlying business trends.
Special items excluded from operating profit amounted to net
charges of euro 78 million for the quarter. These mainly related
to negative fair value evaluation of certain commodity
derivatives (euro 54 million) which did not meet the formal
criteria for hedge accounting provided by IAS 39.
Adjusted net profit for the third quarter of 2011 was euro 206
million, a decrease of euro 232 million from 2010 (down by 53%)
due to a lowered operating performance.
In the first nine months of 2011, the Gas & Power
Division reported adjusted operating profit of euro 1,561
million, a decrease of euro 781 million from the first nine
months of 2010, down 33.3%. The decrease was due to sharply lower
results delivered by the Marketing business, partly offset by
positive results from the International Transport and Regulated
Businesses in Italy. In the nine months of 2011 results from the
Marketing business were influenced by gains on non-hedging
commodity derivatives amounting to euro 46 million which could be
associated with future sales of gas and electricity. The first
nine months of 2010 results did not take into account derivative
gains of euro 129 million accrued in previous reporting periods.
The EBITDA pro-forma adjusted which represents those derivatives
as being hedges with associated gains and losses recognized in
the reporting period when the relevant sales occur confirms the
size of the decline of the business (down 83.5%) reflecting
underlying business trends. The EBITDA pro-forma adjusted also
includes Enis share of results of associates.
Operating review
Marketing
In the third quarter of 2011, the Marketing business
reported sharply higher operating losses to euro 286 million,
which more than doubled compared to the third quarter 2010.
Marketing results were negatively impacted by:
(i) | falling margins on gas sales registered in Italy and European markets, due to increasing competitive pressures, a prevailing oversupply in the marketplace as well as weak demand trends which negatively impacted selling prices; | |
(ii) | lower margins on power sales; | |
(iii) | disruptions in the availability of supplies of Libyan gas which negatively influenced both the supply mix, considering the higher competitiveness of the Libyan gas in relation to other supply sources in portfolio, and sales to shippers; | |
(iv) | scenario effects related to unfavorable trends in energy parameters to which gas costs and prices are indexed in certain contractual formulae. |
These negatives were partly offset by the renegotiation of a long-term supply contract by Distrigas, as well as supply optimization efforts. Performance for the quarter also included a loss of euro 3 million recorded on fair value evaluation of certain commodity derivatives the Company entered into to manage economic margins as provided by the new business model of the Marketing activity.
In the first nine months of 2011, adjusted operating loss amounted to euro 381 million, a decrease of euro 934 million from the operating income recorded in the same period of the previous year. This was due to the same drivers described in the review on the third quarter results as well as negative seasonal effects in the first half of 2011. Performance for the period also included a gain of euro 48 million recorded on fair value evaluation of certain commodity derivatives the Company entered into to manage economic margins.
The adjusted results of both the third quarter 2011 and the first nine months of 2011 did not take into account the possible benefit associated with ongoing renegotiations of the Companys long-term gas purchase contracts which may become effective earlier than end of September 2011.

Sales of natural gas in the third quarter of 2011
were 17.96 bcm (including Enis own consumption, Enis
share of sales made by affiliates and upstream sales in Europe
and the Gulf of Mexico) representing a decrease of 0.64 bcm, down
3.4%, due to sharply lower off-takes by importers to Italy and
lower marketed volumes on the domestic market.
Sales volumes in the Italian market amounted to 6.29 bcm, down
0.31 bcm or 4.7%, driven by lower spot volumes on the PVS (down
0.37 bcm) and lower supplies to the power generation segment
(down 0.13 bcm). These negatives were partly offset by higher
off-takes from industrial users (up 0.29 bcm) and wholesalers
driven by client addition (up 0.20 bcm). Sales to the residential
segment were nearly unchanged at 0.37 bcm (up 0.01 bcm).
Sales to shippers which import gas to Italy fell sharply by 0.96
bcm (down 70.1%) due to the lower availability of Libyan gas.
Sales in the European markets increased by 0.23 bcm (or 2.7%) in
particular in Turkey (up 0.50 bcm) and in UK/Northern Europe (up
0.08 bcm), partly absorbed by lower sales in Germany/Austria
(down 0.26 bcm).
Sales to markets outside Europe increased by 0.94 bcm due to
higher gas sales in the USA and LNG sales in Argentina and Japan,
partly offset by lower sales in Brazil related to the divestment
of Enis interest in Gas Brasiliano Distribuidora.
Sales of natural gas (including Enis own consumption,
Enis share of sales made by affiliates and upstream sales
in Europe and the Gulf of Mexico) for the first nine
months of 2011 were 71.29 bcm registering an increase of 2.99
bcm, up 4.4% from the first nine months of 2010.
Sales in Italy were 25.38 bcm increasing by 1.64 bcm from the
first nine months off 2010 (up 6.9%) due to positive effects of
marketing activities aimed at recapturing clients and increasing
market share in the main utilization segments (industrial up 0.94
bcm; wholesalers up 0.70 bcm; power generation up 0.63 bcm). Spot
sales on the PVS increased by up 0.67 bcm. The residential
segment registered a decrease due to lower seasonal consumption
(down 0.47 bcm).
Sales to shippers which import gas to Italy decreased by 3.90 bcm
(down 58%) due to the closure of the GreenStream importing
pipeline.
- 19 -
All the European markets but Belgium posted sales growth in
the nine months of 2011 increasing by 4.56 bcm to 36.20 bcm, up
14.4% from the first nine months of 2010. Large increases were
recorded in the target markets of Turkey (up 2.32 bcm), France
(up 1.14 bcm), UK/Northern Europe (up 0.72 bcm), Germany/Austria
(up 0.41 bcm) and the Iberian Peninsula (up 0.36 bcm). Sales in
Belgium decreased by 0.85 bcm due to the unfavorable weather
conditions and increasing competitive pressure in wholesale
segment.
Sales to markets outside Europe increased by 2.71 bcm due to
higher gas sales in the USA and LNG sales in Argentina and Japan,
partly offset by lower sales in Brazil related to the divestment
of Enis interest in Gas Brasiliano Distribuidora.
Electricity sales for the third quarter of 2011 decreased by 10.7% to 9.55 TWh (down to 28.89 TWh or 1.4%) due to higher competitiveness of renewable sources in power generation. These negatives were partly offset by higher volumes traded on the Italian power exchange (up 0.37 TWh and 0.94 TWh from the third quarter of 2010 and the first nine month of 2010, respectively).
Regulated Businesses in Italy
In the third quarter of 2011 these businesses reported
adjusted operating profit of euro 532 million, up euro 32 million
from the same period a year-ago, or 6.4%, due to improved results
in all businesses. The Distribution business (up euro 15 million)
positively influenced by the impact associated with a new tariff
regime set by the Authority for Electricity and Gas intended to
cover amortization charges; the Storage business (up euro 13
million) driven by higher service fees related to larger amounts
of natural gas destined to storage in summer months; the
Transport business (up euro 4 million, or 1.3%) reflecting higher
yields of new capital expenditure and efficiency gains.
In the first nine months of 2011, these businesses reported an adjusted operating profit of euro 1,589 million, up euro 75 million, or 5%. The Distribution (up euro 38 million) and Storage (up euro 22 million) businesses both reported better results due to the same factors described above, also Transport improved (up euro 15 million) in spite of lower transported volumes.
Volumes of gas transported in Italy amounted to 17.54 bcm in the third quarter of 2011 registering an increase when compared to the corresponding period a year ago due to higher volumes of natural gas input in the domestic storage deposits. Volumes of gas transported in Italy in the first nine months decreased by 0.89 bcm mainly due to lower natural gas demand in Italy.
International Transport
This business reported an adjusted operating profit of euro
106 million for the third quarter of 2011 (euro 353
million for the first nine months) representing an increase of
euro 48 million from the third quarter of 2010, or 82.8% (up euro
78 million, or 28.4%, from the first nine months of 2010). This
was mainly due to higher activity registered in connection with
an incident occurred in 2010 to the Swiss section of the
international gas transport pipelines connecting Northern Europe
to Italy forcing the shutdown of the line.

EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization charges) on an adjusted basis is calculated by adding amortization and depreciation charges to adjusted operating profit which is also modified to take into account the impact associated with certain derivatives instruments as discussed below. This performance indicator includes the adjusted EBITDA of Enis wholly owned subsidiaries and Enis share of adjusted EBITDA generated by certain associates. Snam Rete Gas EBITDA is included according to Enis share of equity (55.54% as of September 30, 2011, which takes into account the amount of own shares held in treasury by the subsidiary itself) although this Company is fully consolidated when preparing consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, due to its listed company status. Italgas SpA and Stoccaggi Gas Italia SpA results are also included according to the same share of equity as Snam Rete Gas, due to the restructuring of Enis regulated business in the Italian gas sector whereby the parent company Eni SpA divested the entire share capital of the two subsidiaries to Snam Rete Gas. In order to calculate the EBITDA pro-forma adjusted, the adjusted operating profit of the Marketing business has been modified to take into account the impact of the settlement of certain commodity and exchange rate derivatives that do not meet the formal criteria to be classified as hedges under the IFRS. These are entered into by the Company in view of certain amounts of gas and electricity that the Company expects to supply at fixed prices during future periods. The impact of those derivatives has been allocated to the EBITDA pro-forma adjusted relating to the reporting periods during which those supplies at fixed prices are recognized. Management believes that the EBITDA pro-forma adjusted is an important alternative measure to assess the performance of Enis Gas & Power Division, taking into account evidence that this Division is comparable to European utilities in the gas and power generation sector. This measure is provided in order to assist investors and financial analysts in assessing the Eni Gas & Power divisional performance as compared to its European peers, as EBITDA is widely used as the main performance indicator for utilities. The EBITDA pro-forma adjusted is a non-GAAP measure under IFRS.

Results
In the third quarter of 2011 the Refining &
Marketing business reported an adjusted operating profit
amounting to euro 26 million up euro 12 million, or 85.7% from
the corresponding period of 2010.
In spite of a weak and volatile trading environment, Enis
refining margins posted a slight improvement from the third
quarter of 2010, mainly due to an improved ratio of prices of the
main distillates to the cost of the crude feedstock and widening
spreads of gasoline and gasoil compared to fuel oil. These
positives were partly offset by rising oil-linked costs for plant
utilities (particularly fuel oil). Management pursued initiatives
intended to boost efficiency and optimize refinery cycles in
order to cope with a challenging trading environment.
Marketing activities showed a weaker performance due to lower
fuel consumption, a different mix of sales volumes and increased
expenses related to promotional initiatives.
In the third quarter of 2011 special charges excluded from adjusted operating profit amounted to euro 29 million and mainly related to impairment charges of capital expenditure made for safety reasons on refining and retail
- 22 -
assets impaired in previous reporting periods, and
environmental provisions.
In the third quarter of 2011, adjusted net profit was euro 44
million in line with the corresponding period of 2010 mainly due
to a positive operating performance, but partly offset by lower
profit recorded by lower profit recorded by associates (down euro
12 million).
In the nine months of 2011, the Refining & Marketing business increased its adjusted operating loss to euro 264 million, driven by sharply lower refining margins penalized by rising costs of oil-feedstock and oil-based utilities that were not transferred to product prices. Marketing activities also reported negative results due to lowering margins recorded in certain wholesale segments.
Special charges excluded from adjusted operating loss amounted to euro 100 million and mainly related to asset impairments and environmental provisions.
In the nine months of 2011, the Refining & Marketing business reported adjusted net loss of euro 132 million in stark contrast to the break-even results of the corresponding period of 2010 mainly due to lower operating results and decreased results of associates.
Operating review
Enis refining throughputs on own account for the
third quarter of 2011 were 8.46 mmtonnes (24.23 mmtonnes in the
nine months of 2011) decreasing by 5.5% from the third quarter of
2010 (down by 6.2% from the nine months of 2010). In Italy
processed volumes for the third quarter decreased by 5% (down by
6.2% in the nine months) reflecting lower volumes at the Taranto
refinery due to planned maintenance downtime, as well as the
Livorno refinery due to unplanned standstills, while the Venice
plant cut throughputs in response to an unfavorable market
scenario. Lower volumes were processed at the Gela plant as oil
feedstock was partly replaced with intermediate products deriving
from Enis other refinery operations. Higher volumes were
processed at the Milazzo and Sannazzaro refineries reflecting a
better performance.
Outside Italy, Enis refining throughputs decreased by 8.1%
as compared to the third quarter of 2010 (down 6.1% from the nine
months of 2010), mainly in the Czech Republic as a consequence of
planned downtime at the Litvinov refinery.
Retail sales in Italy amounted to 2.23 mmtonnes in
the third quarter of 2011 (6.31 mmtonnes in the nine months of
2011) decreasing by approximately 50 ktonnes, or 2.2% (down 2.3%
in the nine months of 2011) reflecting weak domestic consumption
mainly of gasoline and, to a less extent, gasoil. In particular
premium products were negatively impacted by rising fuel prices.
Enis average market share for the third quarter of 2011 was
31.2%, up 0.5 percentage points from the third quarter of 2010.
Market share for the nine months of 2011 was 30.5%, up 0.1
percentage points from the same period of the previous year.
Wholesale sales in Italy (2.47 mmtonnes) decreased by
approximately 30 ktonnes, down 1.2% from the third quarter of
2010, due to lower demand of engines gasoil, bitumen and marine
bunkering. In the period higher sales of jet fuel for the
aviation segment and fuel oil for industry were registered.
In the nine months of 2011 wholesale sales in Italy registered a
slight increase from 2010 (up 10 ktonnes or 0.1%) mainly due to
increased sales of jet fuel for the aviation segment, coke,
partly offset by lower sales of gasoil and marine bunkering in
relation to lower demand for products. Wholesale market share for
the nine months of 2011 was 28% (28.5% in the same period of the
previous year).
Retail sales in the Rest of Europe amounting to
approximately 800 ktonnes in the third quarter of 2011 (2.26
mmtonnes in the nine months of 2011) were down by 12.1% (down
3.8% from the nine months of 2010). This trend was affected by a
reduction in a number of German leased outlets due to contract
termination and a fall in consumption in Hungary and other
Eastern Europe Countries. These negatives were partly offset by
the purchase of a network of service stations in Austria in 2010.
Wholesale sales in the Rest of Europe were approximately
1.08 mmtonnes (2.86 mmtonnes in the nine months) increasing by
1.9% from the same period of the previous year (down 1% from the
first nine months of 2010). Higher sales were recorded in
Austria, reflecting the purchase of a network of service stations
in 2010, Germany and Switzerland partly offset by lower sales in
particular in the Czech Republic and Hungary.

Non-GAAP measures
Management evaluates Group and business performance on the basis of adjusted operating profit and adjusted net profit, which are arrived at by excluding inventory holding gains or losses and special items. Furthermore, finance charges on finance debt, interest income, gains or losses deriving from the evaluation of certain derivative financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss (as they do not meet the formal criteria to be assessed as hedges under IFRS, excluding commodity derivatives), and exchange rate differences are all excluded when determining adjusted net profit of each business segment. The taxation effect of the items excluded from adjusted operating or net profit is determined based on the specific rate of taxes applicable to each of them. The Italian statutory tax rate is applied to finance charges and income (38% is applied to charges recorded by companies in the energy sector, whilst a tax rate of 27.5% is applied to all other companies). Adjusted operating profit and adjusted net profit are non-GAAP financial measures under either IFRS, or US GAAP. Management includes them in order to facilitate a comparison of base business performance across periods and allow financial analysts to evaluate Enis trading performance on the basis of their forecasting models. In addition, management uses segmental adjusted net profit when calculating return on average capital employed (ROACE) by each business segment.
The following is a description of items that are excluded from the calculation of adjusted results.
Inventory holding gain or loss is the difference between the cost of sales of the volumes sold in the period based on the cost of supplies of the same period and the cost of sales of the volumes sold calculated using the weighted average cost method of inventory accounting.
Special items include certain significant income or charges pertaining to either: (i) infrequent or unusual events and transactions, being identified as non-recurring items under such circumstances; or (ii) certain events or transactions which are not considered to be representative of the ordinary course of business, as in the case of environmental provisions, restructuring charges, asset impairments or write ups and gains or losses on divestments even though they occurred in past periods or are likely to occur in future ones. As provided for in Decision No. 15519 of July 27, 2006, of the Italian market regulator (Consob), non recurring material income or charges are to be clearly reported in the managements discussion and include gains and losses on re-measurement at fair value of certain commodity derivatives, which do not meet formal criteria to the classified as hedges under IFRS, including the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges.
Finance charges or income related to net borrowings excluded from the adjusted net profit of business segments are comprised of interest charges on finance debt and interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents not related to operations. In addition gains or losses on the fair value evaluation of the aforementioned derivative financial instruments, excluding commodity derivatives, and exchange rate differences are excluded from the adjusted net profit of business segments. Therefore, the adjusted net profit of business segments includes finance charges or income deriving from certain segment-operated assets, i.e., interest income on certain receivable financing and securities related to operations and finance charge pertaining to the accretion of certain provisions recorded on a discounted basis (as in the case of the asset retirement obligations in the Exploration & Production Division). Finance charges or interest income and related taxation effects excluded from the adjusted net profit of the business segments are allocated on the aggregate Corporate and financial companies. For a reconciliation of adjusted operating profit and adjusted net profit to reported operating profit and reported net profit see tables below.

Leverage and net borrowings
Leverage is a measure used by management to assess the Companys level of indebtedness. It is calculated as a ratio of net borrowings which is calculated by excluding cash and cash equivalents and certain very liquid assets from financial debt to shareholders equity, including minority interest. Management periodically reviews leverage in order to assess the soundness and efficiency of the Group balance sheet in terms of optimal mix between net borrowings and net equity, and to carry out benchmark analysis with industry standards.

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