Eni SpA said Friday that it swung to a net loss in the first
quarter and that group results were negatively affected by the
economic recession and falling energy prices.
The Italian oil-and-gas major said that it registered a net loss
of 2.93 billion euros ($3.16 billion) from a profit of EUR1.10
billion in the year-earlier period. The loss was partly attributed
to the alignment of the book value of inventories to market prices
as well as impairments from oil-and-gas assets and negative
fair-valued derivatives, according to Eni.
On an adjusted basis, profit was EUR59 million.
Adjusted operating profit in the period was EUR1.31 billion,
compared with EUR2.35 billion in the previous year.
Revenues in the quarter fell to EUR14.09 billion from EUR18.80
billion the previous year.
The company said hydrocarbon production in the first quarter was
1.77 million barrels of oil equivalent a day, compared with 1.84
million barrels of oil equivalent a day the previous year, mainly
due to lower volumes in Libya and lower gas demand in Egypt.
Eni said it has withdrawn its share buyback proposal and would
revise its business plan for the 2020-21 period with a strong
reduction in capital expenditure and expected costs to levels that
are consistent with the new oil price scenario.
