To estimate the credit trend for ENI S.P.A. from 2021 to 2022, we follow the S&P Oil and Gas Exploration and Production (E&P) methodology. ### 1. Identify Industry: Oil and Gas Exploration and Production ### 2 & 7. Calculate Adjusted EBITDA *Formula: Operating Income + Depreciation & Amortization + Impairments/Write-offs* * **2021 (Reported):** Profit from Operating Activities (12,341) + Depr. & Amort. (7,063) + Impairment (167) + Write-offs (387) = **19,958 million EUR** * **2022 (Reported):** Profit from Operating Activities (17,510) + Depr. & Amort. (7,205) + Impairment (1,140) + Write-offs (599) = **26,454 million EUR** ### 3 & 8. Calculate FFO *Formula: Adjusted EBITDA - Cash Interest - Cash Taxes* * **2021:** 19,958 - 794 (Interest Expense) - 3,726 (Taxes Paid) = **15,438 million EUR** * **2022:** 26,454 - 1,033 (Interest Expense) - 8,488 (Taxes Paid) = **16,933 million EUR** ### 4 & 9. Calculate Adjusted Debt *Formula: Short-term Borrowings + Current Portion of LT Borrowings + LT Borrowings + Lease Liabilities - Cash* * **2021:** 2,299 + 1,781 + 23,714 + (948+4,389) - 8,254 = **25,877 million EUR** * **2022:** 4,446 + 3,097 + 19,374 + (884+4,067) - 10,155 = **21,713 million EUR** ### 5 & 10. Debt/EBITDA Ratio * **2021:** 25,877 / 19,958 = **1.30x** * **2022:** 21,713 / 26,454 = **0.82x** * **Change:** -0.48x (Improving) ### 6 & 11. FFO/Debt Ratio * **2021:** 15,438 / 25,877 = **0.597** * **2022:** 16,933 / 21,713 = **0.780** * **Change:** +0.183 (Improving) ### 12. Classification * **Signal 1 (Leverage):** -0.48x is ≤ -0.2x (Improving). * **Signal 2 (Cash-flow):** +0.183 is ≥ +0.03 (Improving). Both signals strongly indicate that Eni's credit trend is Improving. Improving
