- FINANCE, STRATEGY AND REPORTING
San Donato Milanese, April 24, 2025 - Eni's Board of Directors, chaired by Giuseppe Zafarana, yesterday approved the unaudited consolidated results for the first quarter 2025. Eni CEO Claudio Descalzi said:
“Our solid results in Q1 reflect our continued focus on our strategy, despite the uncertain macro-economic backdrop. We remain financially disciplined and resolute on leveraging our competitive advantages built on exploration, proprietary technologies, and innovative business models, to deliver transformation and generate value for our shareholders.
Our outstanding exploration success continues to drive new business opportunities and value. A new financially independent upstream satellite will be created through our JV with Petronas to monetize the vast potential of our discoveries off Indonesia. Additionally, the Dual Model approach has been applied in the farm-out agreements with Vitol ahead of the monetization of our flagship Baleine and Congo FLNG projects, which are expected to generate proceeds of $2.7 bln. Our strategy of growing and creating value through our transition-related satellites is gaining momentum. Enilive and Plenitude closed additional investments and the creation of a satellite for the CCUS business is underway.
We delivered €3.7 bln of proforma adjusted EBIT, €1.4 bln of adjusted net profit and €3.4 bln of adjusted cash flow covering our gross capex of €1.9 bln and shareholders distribution. These results combined with the proceeds from our portfolio management enabled us to reduce proforma leverage to the historical level of 0.12.
Looking ahead we are well positioned to navigate the current downturn. Thanks to our high-quality, high-graded asset portfolio that provides us with significant flexibility, low cash breakeven and resilient financial structures, ensuring disciplined capital allocation and self-funded growth, we are able to optimize our spending and cash plans. As a result, we have identified over €2 bln of mitigating actions, equivalent to around 15 $/bbl of oil price sensitivity effect, and we are able to confirm our 2025 distribution policy within the context of a highly robust financial structure.”
Outstanding exploration success underpins E&P actions
Consistent growth of Eni’s transition related satellites
Proprietary technologies to drive long-term growth and decarbonization.
Innovative financial models and capital discipline to support further deleveraging, deliver value, and generate sustainable returns for shareholders

In response to macro headwinds and uncertainty around trade tariffs, the Company is optimizing its 2025 spending plan and will employ its portfolio optionality. Mitigating actions around capex, portfolio, costs and other cash initiatives are expected to offset over €2 bln of negative scenario effects.
Shareholders return, subject to approval at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) scheduled on May 14, 2025: 5% increase in FY ’25 dividend to €1.05 per share; commencement of buyback programme of €1.5 bln.
