  Financial highlights(*)(**)
  		2014	2015	2016
  (*)   Pertaining to continuing operations. Following the divestment of Saipem in January 2016, the results of the segment have been classified as discontinued operations based on the guidelines of IFRS 5. The comparative reporting periods have been restated consistently.     (**)   Effective January 1, 2016, management modified on voluntary basis the criterion to recognize exploration expenses adopting the accounting of the successful-effort-method (SEM). Accordingly, the comparative amounts disclosed for the FY 2016 have been restated. The retrospective application of the SEM has required adjustment of the opening balance of the retained earnings and other comparative amounts as of January 1, 2014. Specifically, the opening balance of the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment was increased by €3,524 million, intangible assets by €860 million and the retained earnings by €3,001 million. Other adjustments related to deferred tax liabilities and other minor line items. Concerning the FY 2015, the adoption of SEM determined a reduction of operating profit of €815 million. More information is disclosed in the notes of the consolidated financial statement of the 2016 Annual Report on Form 20-F.     (a)   Attributable to Eni’s shareholders.     (b)   Non-GAAP measures. Results of comparative periods are calculated on a standalone basis, i.e. by excluding the results of Saipem earned from both third parties and the Group’s continuing operations, therefore determining its deconsolidation.     (c)   The amount of dividends for the year 2016 is based on the Board’s proposal.     (d)   Number of outstanding shares by reference price at year end.

A life offshore on the Garibaldi C

Work on the platform: Eni’s people talk about their life offshore. Security is always on top of the priorities. Collaboration is very important: people share knowledge and experience.

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 the proportion of net borrowings to shareholders’ equity (leverage) intended to evaluate whether Eni’s financing structure is sound and well-balanced.

The Summarized Group Balance Sheet was affected by the movement in the EUR/USD exchange rate, which determined an increase in net capital employed, total equity and net borrowings by €1,747 million, €1,198 million, and €549 million respectively. This was due to translation into euros of the financial statements of US-denominated subsidiaries reflecting a 3.2% depreciation of the euro against the US dollar (1 EUR= 1.054 USD at December 31, 2016 compared to 1.089 at December 31, 2015).

Fixed assets (€79,729 million) increased by €3,279 million from December 31, 2015. The item “Property, plant and equipment” was up by €2,788 million mainly due to capital expenditure (€9,180 million), positive currency movements and net asset impairments reversals (€475 million). These positives were offset by DD&A (€7,559 million), the write-off of exploration projects lacking the criteria for continuing to be capitalized and the write-off of the damaged units of the EST plant in Sannazzaro refinery (€350 million). The increase in the item “Equity-accounted investments and other investments” of €803 million was due to the recognition as an equity-accounted investment of the stake of 30.55% retained in Saipem following loss of control over the former subsidiary and the pro-quota share capital increase of Saipem subscribed by for an overall amount of €1,614 million, net of losses incurred in the period.

Net working capital was in negative territory at minus €11,013 million and decreased by €918 million y-o-y driven by reduced trade receivables, due to better management of working capital and higher volume of trade receivables due beyond end of the reporting period which were transferred to factoring institution, as well as increased trade payables. Other current assets and liabilities decreased due mainly to the impairment of certain receivables in the E&P segment owed by certain NOCs, due to the expected outcome of ongoing negotiations in relation to under-lifting position.

These negatives were partly offset by the decrease in tax payables and provisions for deferred taxes, reflecting lower provisions for current tax, driven by the reduction of taxable profit and E&P utilization of deferred tax liabilities relating to the impairment of under-lifting receivables, as well as the reduction in the risk provisions for the fulfilment of obligations.

Discontinued operations, assets held for sale including related liabilities (€14 million) decreased by €9,034 million due to the closing of the Saipem transaction and the divestment of fuel distribution activities in Eastern Europe.

Shareholders’ equity including non-controlling interest was €53,086 million, down by €4,323 million from December 31, 2015. This was due to the net loss of the year (€1,457 million), the de-recognition of Saipem non-controlling interest (€1,872 million), as well as dividend distribution and other changes of €2,885 million (including the 2015 balance and the 2016 interim dividends paid to Eni’s shareholders amounting to €2,881 million). These effects were partially offset by a positive change in the cash flow hedge reserve (€883 million) and positive foreign currency translation differences (€1,198 million).

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 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; 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 and net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations on a standalone basis are non-GAAP measures of financial performance.

Exploration & Production

In 2016, the Exploration & Production segment reported an adjusted operating profit of €2,494 million, down by 40.4% y-o-y. The €1,688 million decline mainly reflected a weaker commodity environment, with the marker Brent down by 16.7% and declining gas prices in Europe and the United States. Profit for the year was also negatively affected by the Val d’Agri shutdown, which lasted four months and half. These effects were only partially offset by higher production in other areas and lower operating expenses and DD&A. This latter was due to lower capital expenditure and the reduction in the carrying amounts of oil&gas properties following the material impairment losses booked last year (€5,212 million).

Adjusted operating profit excluded a positive adjustment of €73 million and related to asset revaluations of €1,440 million at oil&gas properties driven by an upward revision to management’s long-term assumption for the benchmark Brent price to $70 per barrel from the previous $65 adopted in the financial projections of the 2017-2020 industrial plan. These were absorbed by: (i) impairment losses of gas properties driven by a lowered price outlook in Europe and other oil&gas properties due to contractual changes, reserves revision and a higher country risk (overall amount of €756 million); and (ii) other charges of €461 million mainly relating to the impairment of certain overdue receivables owed by national oil companies due to the expected outcome of ongoing negotiations. The recognition of those receivables as deductible items for tax purposes resulted in the reversal of unused deferred tax liabilities of €380 million.

For the FY2016, adjusted net profit amounted to €508 million, a decline of €483 million, or 48.7%, from 2015 due to a lower operating performance.

In 2016, taxes paid represented approximately 32% of the cash flow from operating activities of the E&P segment before changes in working capital and income taxes paid.

Gas & Power

In 2016, the Gas & Power segment reported an adjusted operating loss of €390 million, down by €264 million y-o-y. This reflected lower margins on LNG sales and higher one-off benefits from contracts renegotiations reported in 2015, partly offset by logistic costs optimizations and better performance in trading activities. The retail segment reported lower results due to unusual winter weather conditions.

Adjusted operating loss excluded a loss on stock of €90 million and net special gains of €89 million. Special gains comprised the effects of the fair-value evaluation of certain commodity derivatives lacking the formal criteria to be accounted as hedges under IFRS (gains of €443 million), a downward revision of revenues accrued on the sale of gas and power for past reporting periods, resulting from the restructuring plan launched in 2015 (€161 million), the impairment loss of certain assets due to the increased country risk and the weakness of the scenario (€81 million). Adjusted operating result included a negative balance of €19 million of exchange rate differences and derivatives.

In the full year, the Gas & Power segment reported an adjusted net loss of €330 million due to the reduction of operating performance.

Refining & Marketing and Chemicals

In 2016, the Refining & Marketing and Chemicals segment reported an adjusted operating profit of €583 million, declining by €112 million from the previous year.

The Refining & Marketing business reported an adjusted operating profit of €278 million, down by €109 million, or 28.2% compared to 2015. This decline was driven by an unfavorable refining margin scenario (the Eni’s standard refining margin – SERM – was down by 49.4% to 4.2 $/bbl in 2016 from 8.3 $/bbl in 2015), as well as, the scheduled maintenance activities at certain refineries. The refining break-even margin improved to 4.2 $/bbl, better than the planned target of 4.5 $/bbl. These negatives were partly offset by improved plant optimization and efficiency. Moreover, marketing recorded lower results reflecting weaker margins due to stronger competitive pressure and the subsidiaries disposal in Slovenia and Hungary.

The Chemical business reported an adjusted operating profit of €305 million, almost unchanged y-o-y, due to an unfavorable trading environment, which hit commodity margins, mainly in feedstocks, polyethylenes and styrenics, and competitive pressure. The result also reflected lower products availability following unplanned shutdowns.

These negatives were offset by efficiency actions implemented in previous years and reduction in depreciation due to the asset impairment recorded in 2015 to align assets book value to their fair value.

Special charges excluded from adjusted operating profit amounted to a net positive of €266 million. This included impairment losses to write down capital expenditure of the period at assets impaired in previous reporting periods (€104 million), environmental charges (€104 million) as well as fair-value evaluation of certain commodity derivatives (charges of €3 million) lacking the formal criteria to be accounted as hedges under IFRS. Furthermore, special charges include the write-off related to the EST conversion plant, at Sannazzaro Refinery, affected by the event occurred in December 2016, and the environmental provision for removal and clean-up (a total amount of €217 million), partially offset by the insurance compensation paid by third parties which was recognized virtually certain at the closing date (€122 million).

Adjusted net profit of €419 million reduced by €93 million reflecting the operating performance.
