Guidance, Outlook, and Strategic Initiatives
2026-2030 Strategic Plan
- Production Growth: Reported production expected to grow 3-4% annually through 2030, supported by a robust project pipeline including North Kutei Basin (Indonesia) and Argentina LNG projects.
- Cash Flow Outlook: Cash Flow from Operations (CFFO) per share projected to grow at a 14% CAGR to 2030. Cumulative CFFO over the plan period is estimated at €71 billion.
- Free Cash Flow (FCF): Expected to generate over €40 billion in FCF (€45 billion including portfolio effects) from 2026-2030.
- Capital Discipline: Investments expected to average less than €6 billion annually, decreasing to ~€5 billion net of portfolio transactions. Gearing targeted at 10-15%.
Shareholder Returns
- Dividend: Proposed 2026 dividend of €1.10 per share (approx. 5% increase).
- Buyback Program: New buyback program authorized for up to €4 billion (initial €1.5 billion in 2026). Shares acquired for remuneration will be cancelled.
- Payout Policy: Target distribution raised to 35-45% of CFFO. Upside mechanism includes distributing 60% of incremental cash flow above plan, and 100% as an extraordinary dividend if Brent exceeds $90/barrel or gas/refining margins rise 50%.
Plenitude Reorganization
- Deconsolidation: Eni is restructuring Plenitude's shareholding with Ares Management, resulting in deconsolidation from Eni's financial statements while maintaining joint control.
- Capital Increase: A non-proportional capital increase of ~€1.5 billion is planned for Plenitude (€1 billion from Ares), valuing Plenitude at €10.75 billion pre-money.
- Targets: Plenitude aims for 15 GW installed capacity and 15 million retail customers by 2030.
Investor Verification Checklist
