With an overall picture that continues to be marked by uncertainty, also due to the persistent decline in oil prices (which in the fourth quarter of the year dropped 5% compared to the fourth quarter of 2022) and gas (- 57% in Europe) in recent months, Eni reaches the halfway point of the preliminary balance sheet with an adjusted net profit, i.e. excluding extraordinary items, of 8.3 billion, down 38% compared to the previous year due to the weakening of the prices, while for the quarter the bar stands at 1.6 billion compared to 2.5 billion in the same period of 2022 (-34%). Net profit is equal to 4.7 billion (-66%), for the fourth quarter the figure is 149 million (down by 76%).
