Shareholders’ remuneration

Shareholders’ remuneration framework

Our distribution policy confirms the progressive growth in shareholder value related to our strategy. Our model is to continue to rank distribution as a top priority through a percentage of operating cashflow – a transparent link to our business performance.

 

Eni enhanced the payout which will target a distribution between 30-35% of expected annual CFFO, compared with the previous 25-30%, by way of a combination of dividend and share buyback.

 

For 2024 Eni announced:

  • an annual dividend of €1.00/share, a 6% increase versus 2023
  • a share buyback programme of €1.1 bln, reflecting the expectations on scenario and the performance of the business.

This is a flexible tool, with higher exposure to the upside. In fact, similar to 2023, we can confirm that in lower than planned scenario we will seek business outperformance and use financial flexibility to deliver the target buyback.
 

While, in the case of better than planned CFFO outcomes, we will now allocate up to 60% of incremental cash to our buyback, a material improvement versus last year when we indicated an upside of 35%.

 

In April, we raised the 2024 buyback by 45%, to €1.6Bln from €1.1Bln, with the continuing commitment to revisit in each of the remaining quarters to update on expected financial performance and the associated distribution.

 

Finally during 3Q call, in consideration of the disposal plan progressing ahead of our initial plan, we confirmed to further raise the 2024 share buyback (as announced in July). It is now expected at €2 bln, bringing total distributions close to around 38% of CFFO.

2024 Share Buyback Program

The Buyback Program commenced on 27 May 2024.

Dividend Yield

This is the ratio between the dividend and the share price. The following methodology was used for the calculation of values: value of dividend in relation to the average of closing prices in the December of the year to which the dividend pertains. For example: 2014 dividend yield = €1.12 (2014 dividend distributed with an interim dividend in September 2014 and the balance in May 2015)/€14.72 (average share price in December 2014). The dividend yield is used as an indicator of the return regardless of gains/losses. It should not be considered as an expected return as it takes into account the dividend for each year.
