The global outsourcing industry is constantly evolving through new contracting award characteristics and an expanding universe of successful service providers. ISG's TPI Index helps industry participants, enterprises and organizations keep pace and capitalize from the latest data on outsourcing trends. It is the authoritative source for marketplace intelligence related to outsourcing: transaction structures and terms, industry adoption, geographic prevalence and service provider metrics.
Short and medium term strategy updated: costs and capex optimization increased; energy transition targets confirmed, and investments in businesses linked to decarbonization raised. New shareholders’ remuneration policy put in place.
Today, Eni’s Board of Directors approved the Group results for the first quarter of 2019 (unaudited). Commenting on the results, Claudio Descalzi, CEO of Eni, remarked:
“I am very pleased of the excellent industrial and financial performance delivered by Eni in IQ 2019. Particularly, in light of a substantially unchanged market scenario, the E&P business has improved its operating profit by 25% compared to the first quarter of 2018, confirming our expectations of the business growing cash generation for the full year. The results of the G&P segment also improved; the 16% increase in operating profit to €372 million puts us on the path to achieving our €500 million profit target for the full year. The performance of the Downstream R&M and Chemicals business offset the effect of weaker margins and we expect to see a broad recovery over the next nine months, particularly in oil Refining and Marketing. Overall, first quarter operations generated a cash flow of €3.42 billion, up 8% and €1.5 billion greater than the investments for the period of around €1.9 billion, which is in line with the expectations of €8 billion for the whole year. The Group confirms that it can leverage on the quality and robustness of its asset portfolio, capable of covering costs, investments and dividends at a Brent price of US$ 55, in addition to generating a cash surplus in the event of higher prices, as in current trading conditions.”
