Rising oil prices and anticipated price developments have made the development of non-conventional reserves an economically viable proposition and have led to a degree of recovery in investments in Canadian tar sands development projects. In the gas sector, the exploitation of shale gas has caused a significant drop in prices on the U.S. market. Meanwhile, in Europe, relatively weak demand, coupled with the abundant supply of liquefied natural gas has led to the postponement of a number of planned pipeline construction projects. Investments in the oil industry during the year saw a divergence between the National Oil Companies, who increased their overall spending in 2010 compared with 2009 and the International Oil Companies, who on average invested the same as in the previous year. This created an uneven market situation for contractors, in which the Onshore sector – traditionally dominated by the National Oil Companies – flourished, while the Offshore segment – where International Oil Companies tend to have a stronger presence – performed relatively weakly. Saipem was able to fully exploit the favourable conditions on the Onshore market, posting a 111% increase in new contract acquisitions compared with the previous year, but also managed to maintain steady order backlog levels in the Offshore sector despite the adverse conditions, as a result of a strong competitive position in frontier areas, which are traditionally less exposed to market cyclicality. The Saipem share grew by 53.6% in 2010, benefiting from the record level of contract acquisitions and the prospect of further improvements in market conditions in the Oil Services Industry. The results posted by Saipem in 2010 represented new records in terms of both volumes and profits and were achieved in spite of the impact of the unfavourable market conditions seen in 2009, thus confirming your Company’s strong competitive position and operational efficiency. Compared specifically with 2009, revenues rose by 8.4%, EBITDA by 15%, EBIT by 14.1% and adjusted net profit by 4 Saipem Annual Report / Letter to the Shareholders Saipem Board of Directors from left to right: Pierantonio Nebuloni Director, Umberto Vergine Director, Hugh James O’Donnell Managing Director for Business Support and Transversal Activities (Deputy CEO), Anna Maria Artoni Director, Marco Mangiagalli Chairman, Pietro Franco Tali Deputy Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Salvatore Sardo Director, Luca Anderlini Director, Ian Wybrew-Bond Director. 13.1%. In terms of the individual business lines, in the Offshore sector, revenues rose by 3.3% and EBIT was in line with the previous year, with activities concentrated in West Africa, Kazakhstan and the North Sea. In the Onshore sector, revenues rose by 8.4% and EBIT by 27.6% as a result of the recommencement of work on the Manifa project and higher volumes in North and West Africa. In Offshore Drilling, revenues rose by 32.5% and EBIT by 34.4% due to higher fleet utilisation rates and new rigs commencing operations. In Onshore Drilling, revenues rose by 24.2% and EBIT by 32.2% due to new rigs commencing operations in South America and Congo and the refurbishment of two rigs in Kazakhstan owned by a client. The level of operational efficiency achieved confirmed your Company’s position at the top of its industry. With regard to safety, the LTIFR (Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate) was 0.4, compared with 0.48 in 2009, although the year unfortunately witnessed six fatal accidents. We must respond by making even greater efforts to ensure that all Saipem personnel maintain a high level of safety awareness. As illustrated in the Sustainability Report, Saipem is continuing to implement sustainability policies and initiatives in the communities in which it operates, particularly in those where – at a time of great political and social upheaval – it is able to make a significant contribution to sustainable development through a local content strategy. The year saw the continuation of the major investment programme launched in 2006, with an overall annual outlay of (cid:219)1,545 million. During 2010, work continued in the Offshore sector on the construction and fitting out of a new pipelayer and a deepwater field development ship, the conversion of an oil tanker into an FPSO vessel and the development of a new fabrication yard in Indonesia. In Offshore Drilling, 2010 saw the completion of works on a new ultra-deepwater drillship and a jack-up and the continuation of the fitting out of two semi-submersible rigs. Finally, in Onshore Drilling construction work on three rigs continued. Oil industry spending is expected to increase in 2011, underpinning expectations of improved market prospects for the oil services industry. Specifically, Onshore sector spending is expected to experience a continuation of the high levels of investment seen in 2010, while the Offshore sector spending is expected to increase. This should allow for a continued positive trend 5 Saipem Annual Report / Letter to the Shareholders in the Onshore market and a gradual recovery in the Offshore market, a sector that has remained weak over the last two years. In the Drilling sectors, good demand is expected to lead to a gradual recovery of both utilisation levels and daily rates. As far as Saipem is concerned, the record level of the backlog, its size and quality, and the strong operating performance of the industrial model, underpin expectations of again achieving record results. Investments for 2011 are expected to be around (cid:219)1 billion and will be spent on completing the expansion of the Drilling fleet and further progress towards strengthening the Offshore asset base.

The expectations of an economic recovery which characterised the closing months of 2009 were further reinforced at the beginning of 2010 by the stabilisation of oil prices at levels seen as capable of sustaining an upturn in investments by oil companies. These conditions helped sustain demand for oil services and contributed to a strong performance by the oil services sector generally and the Saipem share in particular during the whole of the first quarter. The share, having fallen to its lowest point of the period of (cid:219)23.08 between the end of January and the beginning of February, in fact subsequently began to climb to almost (cid:219)30 in mid-April – its highest price since May 2008, i.e. since before the financial crisis. The tragic accident that occurred on April 20, 2010 in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, which led to the sinking of a drilling rig owned and operated by the American company Transocean, raised numerous doubts and concerns with regard to both the risks involved in drilling deepwater hydrocarbon fields and the ability of the oil industry to exploit them in an effective manner and, in addition to the impact caused by the accident, the Oil & Gas sector was also hit by the sovereign debt crisis triggered by the crises in Greece and Ireland, which affected the stock markets during the second and third quarters, and also indirectly affected the Saipem share. However, the easing up of the pressure on Eurozone markets and the economic stimulus packages introduced in the final part of the year enabled the stock markets to recover part of the lost ground. The Saipem share, thanks in part to the acquisition of a large number of important new contracts and the release of results that exceeded expectations, grew steadily throughout the final quarter of 2010, reaching a new record high to (cid:219)37.27 and closing the year at just below (cid:219)37. During the year, the Saipem share outperformed the FTSE/MIB index by more than 63%, posting the second best performance of the index’s constituents. The company ranked 9th on the index in terms of market capitalisation, with a figure of (cid:219)16.3 billion, compared with (cid:219)10.6 billion in 2009. With regard to share liquidity, shares traded in 2010 totalled approximately 745 million, representing a decrease compared with the figure of approximately 875 million registered in 2009.

These unique capabilities and competences, together with a long-standing presence in strategic frontier markets represent an industrial model that is particularly well suited to EPIC (Engineering, Procurement, Installation and Construction) projects. The Group boasts a fleet of semi-submersible vessels equipped with state-of-the-art technologies, including the Saipem 7000, equipped with a dynamic positioning system, 14,000-tonne lifting capacity and capability to lay subsea pipelines in ultra-deep waters using the ‘J-lay’ system, which can handle a suspended load of up to 1,450 tonnes during pipelay operations. Other vessels include the Castoro Sei, capable of laying large diameter subsea pipelines, the Field Development Ship (FDS), a special purpose vessel used in the development of deep-water fields, equipped with a dynamic positioning system, a 600-tonne lifting capacity crane and a vertical pipelaying system capable of operating in water depths of up to 2,000 metres, and the Saipem 3000, capable of laying flexible pipelines and installing umbilicals and mooring systems in deep waters and installing subsea structures of up to 2,200 tonnes. Saipem also enjoys a strong position in the subsea market, thanks to its use of highly sophisticated technologies, such as subsea ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicles) and specially-equipped robots capable of carrying out complex deep-water pipeline operations. Finally, Saipem is also active in the Leased FPSO sector, with a 20 fleet comprising the Cidade de Vitoria and the Gimboa, as well as the FPSO Aquila, which is currently under construction. Market conditions Following the global financial crisis of the previous two years, the Offshore sector experienced a modest recovery in 2010 with conditions emerging for more robust growth in 2011. During the year, oil prices settled at between 70-90 $/barrel – levels at which oil production is sustainable in almost all of the world’s oil production areas – and a large number of investment projects were either resumed or expanded on the basis of expectations that oil prices will remain high. With costs for offshore oil services rising only slightly, conditions for investment during the year were positive. For the subsea installation sector, 2010 was a year of transition, in which the deep water segment – particularly in West Africa – continued to perform poorly. Meanwhile, prospects in the SURF segment (Subsea, Umbilical, Riser and Flowline), where Saipem is currently engaged on the Usan, Kizomba and Bonga projects, remain positive, with a significant upturn in new contract awards expected in 2011. In the Gulf of Mexico, the incident at the Macondo well had a significant impact in terms of postponed and lost offshore production compared with investment plans. As a result, oil production in the area is expected to drop by more than 10% in 2011. On the other hand, sustained activity was seen during the year in the shallow water sector, driven in particular by the demand for subsea tiebacks in mature areas such as the North Sea. 2010 also saw the announcement of the merger between two of Saipem’s biggest competitors in the SURF sector - Acergy and Subsea 7, which was completed at the beginning of 2011. The fixed platform market registered a considerable level of growth in 2010, with the most dynamic areas being Asia-Pacific and Africa and in particular Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia, and West Africa. The largest increase was recorded in the smaller structures segment (i.e. with a topside weighing less than 1,000 tonnes). 2010 witnessed a global recovery in levels of activity in the large diameter pipeline sector, following a particularly slow 2009. The laying of the first pipeline on the Nord Stream project, which started in April, is proceeding in accordance with schedule. In the FPSO sector, installation volumes were affected by the 2008-2009 crisis and remained low worldwide, with the exception of Brazil. There was an upturn on the other hand in new contract awards that was driven by the Brazilian market, where important contracts were assigned by Petrobras for the development of the pre-salt area in Tupi. Levels of business also showed a recovery in the Asia-Pacific and North Sea areas, where the redeployment of upgraded FPSOs is becoming increasingly widespread. As a result, the backlog of orders for the entire FPSO sector rose to 35 floating platforms, of which 17 are new and 18 are conversions, thus bucking a downward trend that had been prevalent since 2007. Market concentration increased during 2010 as a result of the merger between BW Offshore and Prosafe Production, which created the second biggest company in the sector in terms of fleet size. In addition, National Oilwell Varco acquired Advanced Production and Loading – the market leader in the production of turret mooring systems – from BW Offshore. In the LNG sector, Saipem submitted a FEED bid to Petrobras for a new FLNG unit in Brazil, in competition with other consortia, while in the regasification sector, Saipem continued with the construction of the FSRU Livorno, which will be the world’s first offshore terminal.

Saipem enjoys a worldwide leading position in the Onshore sector, providing a complete range of integrated basic and detailed engineering, procurement, project management and construction services, principally to the oil & gas, complex civil and marine infrastructures and environmental markets. In numerous markets, the company places great emphasis on maximising local content during project execution. The Group enjoys a long-term and continuing operational presence in the Arabian Peninsula and most of the Middle East, West Africa, North Africa, Europe, Russia, Kazakhstan and the Indian subcontinent, and has a growing presence in Canada, a number of Latin American countries and Australia. Market conditions The signs of economic recovery and renewed energy demand seen in 2010, particularly in emerging nations, and the resulting rise in oil prices, allowed levels of activity, while still below the top pre-crisis levels, to either remain at or to return to reasonable levels in many areas of the onshore plant sector. In spite of uncertainty concerning the future and solidity of the economic recovery, expectations remain of a gradual growth in oil demand and consequently of oil prices remaining at acceptable levels. This should encourage oil companies to invest in the development of the new fields needed to replace those nearing depletion and the construction of new facilities for the production and transportation of energy, fuel and chemical derivatives. This trend, coupled with the growth in the front-end engineering and design (FEED) services, which enable development costs and times for new plant construction projects to be optimized, should help the sector recover the time lost to delays in the award of a number of major contracts. Most new contract awards in 2010 for the construction of major onshore plants were concentrated in the Middle East (mainly United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait), Asia (China, India), North/Central America and in some areas of the former Soviet Union, particularly in the refining, upstream and pipeline transportation sectors. The upstream sector in particular accounted for a large portion of new contracts, especially in the Middle East (major awards were made in the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait) and the former CIS (Turkmenistan). The sector has good potential for development in the short to medium term due to the growth in fuel demand and the need to replace declining fields. Massive programmes of investment have been announced in countries such as Iraq and Saudi Arabia in relation to oil production and in Canada and Venezuela in relation to non conventional oil fields (these latter dependent on oil prices remaining high). 25 Saipem Annual Report / Operating review The highest levels of activity during the year were registered in the refining sector. Major new projects were awarded for export refineries in the Middle East (United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, albeit with slightly slower execution schedules than were originally intended) as well as – on a smaller scale, to meet local requirements – in India and Latin America. Meanwhile, reflecting the prevalent macro-trend, the growth in demand in the Far East compensated for the drop off in consumption in the west. The outlook is positive in this sector for the development of plants close to secondary markets currently experiencing growth (Latin America, Africa, Central Asia). Exportation projects on the other hand, which are complex and costly, may first require the economic recovery to gather further momentum. In spite of the positive signs, the trend of closures of smaller, technically obsolete refineries and their replacement by larger more modern plant continued during 2010. In the gas production sector, the development of non-conventional fields is becoming increasingly cheap and widespread in America, while the same is likely to occur in China and Australia in the near future. A similar scenario in Europe, which possesses non conventional fields of a size comparable with those in North America, represents a prospect for the medium-term. In the last two years, the growth in natural gas production, particularly from non conventional sources in the United States and the overcapacity connected with the start-up of liquefaction mega plants in Qatar, coupled with weakened demand in the most developed countries due to the economic crisis, has led to a market surplus, a drop in gas prices and a consequent slowdown in investments in all related segments. Nonetheless, prospects for medium-term growth are thought to be good, in particular because of the growing energy demand in developing countries. These conditions should lead to a resumption of growth in international gas trading (supplied via pipeline or delivered as LNG) as companies look to supply gas from increasingly remote fields to the world’s major end markets. Pipelines confirmed their importance in the sector’s strategic markets, with the year seeing a number of new contract awards for the construction of pipelines, particularly in Russia and neighbouring countries, while at present the focus is on China, the Middle East and North America. In the medium-term, the prospects of new contract awards in the pipeline sector remained good in the Middle East and in the former Soviet Union (for pipelines to both Europe and West Asia) as well as in connection with the development of new resources in the Americas. Although the gas liquefaction sector showed no signs of recovery during 2010, as a consequence of the current overcapacity, sector operators expect a relatively rapid upturn in new investments as a result of the growth in demand. The main projects currently under development/implementation are located in the Pacific area – in particular in Australia – due to the presence of a number of new fields, some of which are unconventional, and their relative proximity to the major Asian markets, especially China. Other potentially interesting areas in the short-term are West Africa (Nigeria, Angola) and Russia. 26 The petrochemical sector, which is strongly cyclical, continued to be impacted by the crisis and by the overcapacity created by the recent phase of heavy investment. The fall in demand has led to a significant slowdown in new initiatives. Apart from the mega export plants in the Middle East (especially in the Arab Emirates), few new projects were awarded during the year. A concrete recovery will only be possible once the current production surplus has been absorbed and a number of obsolete plants have been closed. The most significant projects are planned for construction in Asia (China, India, Vietnam, Thailand) and the Middle East (Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Arab Emirates), thus confirming the tendency of the industry to increasingly focus on these areas. Additional opportunities may emerge in South America and, possibly, Russia. The fertilisers market is currently performing particularly well, with good prospects for new contract awards in India, Asia, Latin America and Africa. Although demand for fertiliser products is good, there are certain difficulties finalising contracts due to problems related to the supply of raw materials and securing financing, deriving in part from complex and bureaucratic legislation. Finally, the rapid economic development occurring in many emerging nations is creating a new and significant market for major civil and port infrastructure projects. This sector is of growing interest to the Saipem Group, which intends to pursue the best business opportunities in the rail, road and port infrastructure and marine terminal segments.

The fleet also includes three semi-submersible rigs, seven jack-ups and a TAD (Tender Assisted Drilling unit). In the Offshore Drilling sector, the Group operated during the year in West and North Africa, the Gulf of Suez, the Persian Gulf, Norway, Peru, Indonesia, Italy and East Timor. Market conditions The recovery in oil prices seen in 2010, coupled with the first signs of stabilisation in the world economy are gradually providing grounds for renewed optimism in the Offshore Drilling sector. The disaster in the Gulf of Mexico and the resulting moratorium have led to a decrease – albeit a limited one – in deepwater drilling activities operations in the region. However, the market in this area remains relatively separate and autonomous from the rest of the world. Internationally, utilisation rates varied according to the segment (i.e. shallow or deepwater). In 2010, the total overall number of jack-ups under contract fell 30 slightly compared with the previous year, with utilisation rates for older, less efficient jack-ups slumping, while rates for latest generation jack-ups remained stable. The completion and delivery of a large number of new jack-ups during the year, combined with deliveries scheduled for 2011, should work in favour of the removal from service of the most obsolete rigs and also help to keep day rates under control. The number of semi-submersibles and drillships active in 2010 increased compared with the previous year, with a significant rise recorded in Brazil. This upward trend ought to continue in 2011 and at least partially absorb the new production capacity expected to come onto the market during the course of the year. Day rates for semi-submersibles and drillships registered a marked upturn in South America, West Africa and, to a lesser extent, in South East Asia. There are still a large number of vessels under construction but without a contract, particularly in the jack-up sector. This situation is likely to persist at least up until the end of 2011. New contracts The most significant contracts awarded to the Group during 2010 were: - two contracts, signed with Total E&P Congo and Addax Petroleum for the charter of the semi-submersible rig Scarabeo 3 for use in Congo and in Nigeria for a total period of 15 months plus options, starting from January 2010; the charter by Saudi Aramco of the jack-up Perro Negro 5 for a period of thirty-six months in Saudi Arabia; - - an agreement with the Egyptian company IEOC for the extension of the contract for the charter of the semi-submersible rig Scarabeo 4 until June 2013; the charter by Harrington Dubai of the jack-up Perro Negro 3 for drilling activities in the Persian Gulf for a period of twenty-four months; the charter by Eni Exploration & Production Division of the newly constructed Perro Negro 8 for a period of one year in Italy; the charter by Total of the jack-up Perro Negro 2 for a period of six months in the Middle East. - - - Capital expenditure The most significant items of capital expenditure within the Offshore Drilling sector were: - the completion of investments on the new ultra-deep water drillship Saipem 12000, which commenced operations on behalf of Total Exploration & Production for the development of Block 17 in Angola during the second half of the year; the purchase of a jack-up under construction and the completion of related investments. The rig – Perro Negro 8 – commenced operations during the year in Italy on behalf of Eni; the continuation of construction activities for the new deep-water semi-submersible platform Scarabeo 8, which will operate in Norway on behalf of Eni Norge; the continuation of construction activities for the new deep-water semi-submersible platform Scarabeo 9, which will operate in the Gulf of Mexico; - - - - class reinstatement works and investments made on the fleet to ensure compliance with international regulations and to customise vessels to client-specific requirements. Work performed Activities comprised the drilling of 44 wells, totalling approximately 129,506 metres drilled. Saipem Annual Report / Operating review The newly constructed deep-water drillship Saipem 12000 commenced operations in July on a long-term contract offshore Angola for Total Exploration & Production. The deep-water drillship Saipem 10000, having completed operations in Angola on behalf of Total Exploration & Production, operated from March to mid-June on behalf of Eni offshore Indonesia, before returning to the shipyard in Singapore for certification purposes. The vessel subsequently resumed operations for Eni, first in Indonesia and then in East Timor. The semi-submersible platform Scarabeo 3 concluded operations in Congo for Total E&P Congo in March and then resumed drilling operations offshore Nigeria for Addax Petroleum. The semi-submersible platform Scarabeo 4 operated in Egypt and Libya for IEOC - International Egyptian Oil Co. The semi-submersible platform Scarabeo 5 continued HP/HT (high pressure/high temperature) operations in offshore Norway on behalf of Statoil. The semi-submersible platform Scarabeo 6 continued drilling operations in Egypt for Burullus Gas Co. The semi-submersible platform Scarabeo 7 continued to operate in Angola for Eni Angola.

General overview In the Onshore Drilling sector, the Saipem Group operated in 2010 in Italy, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Kazakhstan, Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Venezuela, Congo and Ukraine. Market conditions In 2010, the partial recovery in economic and market conditions had a positive effect on the Onshore Drilling sector, which was boosted by the pick up in oil prices and – at least in Europe – in natural gas prices. In North America, levels of activity in the sector registered an upturn in both the United States and Canada, where the number of active rigs was significantly higher than at year end 2009, although still below 2008 levels. In the rest of the world, where the impact of the crisis had been less severe, 2010 utilisation rates for the onshore fleet rose versus the previous year and were in line with the peak levels seen in 2008. The areas where growth was highest included Latin America, and, to an extent, the Middle East and North Africa. 2011 is expected to see further consolidation of utilisation rates and, potentially, a pick up in day rates. New contracts The most significant contracts awarded to the Group during 2010 were: - two contracts for ExxonMobil Kazakhstan Inc (EMKI) in Kazakhstan for the decommissioning and transportation of two In Italy, onshore drilling operations were performed on behalf of Eni Exploration & Production, utilising two extended-reach drilling and workover rigs in the provinces of Novara and Potenza, while a 33 Saipem Annual Report / Operating review third rig began drilling operations for Total Italia in the province of Matera.

The analysis by business sector is as follows: Offshore Net sales from operations Cost of sales Gross operating profit (EBITDA) Depreciation and amortisation Operating profit (EBIT) ((cid:219) million) Year 2009 4,341 (3,531) 810 (195) 615 Year 2010 4,486 (3,654) 832 (219) 613 Revenues for 2010 amounted to (cid:219)4,486 million, a 3.3% increase compared to 2009. The increased volumes related mainly to an increase in activities in West Africa and Kazakhstan. The cost of sales amounted to (cid:219)3,654 million, representing a 3.5% increase compared to 2009. Depreciation and amortisation rose by (cid:219)24 million compared with 2009. Operating profit (EBIT) for 2010 amounted to (cid:219)613 million, equal to 13.7% of revenues, compared to (cid:219)615 million, equal to 14.2% of revenues in 2009. Meanwhile, the gross profit margin (EBITDA) stood at 18.5%, which was slightly down on the figure of 18.7% recorded in 2009 due to higher idle costs that were only partially compensated by higher profits on executed projects. Onshore Net sales from operations Cost of sales Gross operating profit (EBITDA) Depreciation and amortisation Operating profit (EBIT) ((cid:219) million) Year 2009 4,831 (4,493) 338 (48) 290 Year 2010 5,236 (4,827) 409 (39) 370 2010 revenues amounted to (cid:219)5,236 million, up 8.4% compared to 2009. This was largely due to higher volumes in North and West Africa. The cost of sales of (cid:219)4,827 million increased by 7.4% compared with 2009. Depreciation and amortisation fell slightly. 36 Saipem Annual Report / Financial and economic results Operating profit (EBIT) in 2010 amounted to (cid:219)370 million, versus (cid:219)290 million in 2009, with the margin on revenues rising from 6.0% to 7.1%. The gross profit margin (EBITDA) stood at 7.8%, compared with 7.0% in 2009. The increase in margin is attributable to an improved operating performance. Offshore Drilling Net sales from operations Cost of sales Gross operating profit (EBITDA) Depreciation and amortisation Operating profit (EBIT) ((cid:219) million) Year 2009 566 (279) 287 (95) 192 Year 2010 750 (348) 402 (144) 258 2010 revenues amounted to (cid:219)750 million, representing a 32.5% increase versus 2009, attributable mainly to the full-scale activities of the jack-up Perro Negro 6 and the semi-submersible platforms Scarabeo 3 and Scarabeo 4, and to the drillship Saipem 12000 and the jack-up Perro Negro 8 starting operations. The cost of sales increased by 24.7% compared to 2009. Depreciation and amortisation increased by (cid:219)49 million versus 2009, due to the full-scale operation of vessels that underwent preparatory works in 2009, the full scale activity of the jack-up Perro Negro 6, and to the drillship Saipem 12000 and the jack-up Perro Negro 8 starting operations. Operating profit (EBIT) in 2010 amounted to (cid:219)258 million, versus (cid:219)192 million in 2009, with the margin on revenues rising from 33.9% to 34.4%. Meanwhile, the gross profit margin (EBITDA) improved to 53.6% from 50.7% in the previous year. Onshore Drilling Net sales from operations Cost of sales Gross operating profit (EBITDA) Depreciation and amortisation Operating profit (EBIT) ((cid:219) million) Year 2009 554 (393) 161 (102) 59 Year 2010 688 (495) 193 (115) 78 Revenues for 2010 amounted to (cid:219)688 million, representing a 24.2% increase compared to 2009, due mainly to the start of operations of new rigs in South America and Congo and also to the refurbishment of two plants in Kazakhstan owned by the Client. The cost of sales increased by 25.9% compared to 2009. The increase in depreciation and amortisation is due to the start of operations of new rigs. 2010 operating profit (EBIT) amounted to (cid:219)78 million, versus (cid:219)59 million in 2009, with the margin on revenues rising from 10.6% to 11.3%. Meanwhile, the gross profit margin (EBITDA) stood at 28.1%, compared with 29.1% in 2009. 37 Saipem Annual Report / Financial and economic results Consolidated balance sheet and financial position Saipem Group - Reclassified consolidated balance sheet (1) The reclassified consolidated balance sheet aggregates asset and liability amounts from the statutory balance sheet according to function, under three basic areas: operating, investing and financing. Management believes that the reclassified consolidated balance sheet provides useful information in assisting investors to assess Saipem’s capital structure and to analyse its sources of funds and investments in fixed assets and working capital.

Non-current assets at December 31, 2010 stood at (cid:219)8,268 million, an increase by (cid:219)1,099 million compared to December 31, 2009. This increase is due to capital expenditure of (cid:219)1,545 million, equity investments of (cid:219)4 million, depreciation and amortisation of (cid:219)517 million, disposals of fixed assets and write-offs of (cid:219)9 million, disposals of investments of (cid:219)14 million and the positive effect on non-current assets deriving mainly from the translation of financial statements in foreign currencies of (cid:219)90 million. Net current assets decreased by (cid:219)11 million from negative (cid:219)647 million at December 31, 2009 to negative (cid:219)658 million at December 31, 2010, mainly due to the change in working capital. The provision for employee benefits amounted to (cid:219)193 million, representing an increase by (cid:219)11 million compared with December 31, 2009. As a result of the above, net capital employed increased by (cid:219)1,077 million to (cid:219)7,417 million at December 31, 2010, compared to (cid:219)6,340 million at December 31, 2009. Shareholders’ equity, including minority interest, increased by (cid:219)659 million to (cid:219)4,154 million at December 31, 2010, versus (cid:219)3,495 million at December 31, 2009. This increase was related to net profit for the year of (cid:219)894 million and the positive effects arising from the translation into euro of financial statements expressed in foreign currencies and from other variations ((cid:219)102 million), which were partially offset by changes in the fair value of exchange rate, interest rate and commodity hedging instruments ((cid:219)74 million) and dividend distribution ((cid:219)263 million). 38 Saipem Annual Report / Financial and economic results The increase in net capital employed, which was only partially offset by the increase in shareholders’ equity, led to an increase in net borrowings which, at December 31, 2010, stood at (cid:219)3,263 million, compared to (cid:219)2,845 million at December 31, 2009, representing an increase by (cid:219)418 million.

It enables investors to understand the link existing between changes in cash and cash equivalents (deriving from the statutory cash flow statement) and changes in net borrowings (deriving from the reclassified cash flow statement) occurring between the beginning and the end of the year. The measure enabling such a link is represented by the free cash flow, which is the cash in excess of capital expenditure requirements. Starting from free cash flow it is possible to determine either: (i) changes in cash and cash equivalents for the year by adding/deducting cash flows relating to financing debts/receivables (issuance/repayment of debt and receivables related to financing activities), shareholders’ equity (dividends paid, net repurchase of treasury shares, capital issuance) and the effect of changes in consolidation and of exchange differences; (ii) changes in net borrowings for the year by adding/deducting cash flows relating to shareholders’ equity and the effect of changes in consolidation and of exchange rate differences. ((cid:219) million) Net profit Minority interest Adjustments to reconcile cash generated from operating profit before changes in working capital: Depreciation, amortisation and other non-monetary items Losses (gains) on/impairments of current assets Dividends, interest, extraordinary income/expenses and income taxes Net cash generated from operating profit before changes in working capital Changes in working capital related to operations Dividends, interests, extraordinary income/expenses and income taxes received (paid) during the year Net cash flow from operations Capital expenditure Investments in acquisition of consolidated companies Disposals Other cash flow related to capital expenditures, investments and disposals Free cash flow Repayment of debt related to financing activities Changes in short and long-term financial debt Sale of treasury shares Cash flow from capital and reserves Effect of changes in consolidation and exchange differences CHANGE IN CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS FOR THE YEAR Free cash flow Sale of treasury shares Cash flow from capital and reserves Exchange differences on net borrowings and other changes CHANGE IN NET BORROWINGS 2009 732 43 482 - 320 1,577 (331) (279) 967 (1,615) - 9 11 (628) 184 219 7 (239) 45 (412) (628) 7 (239) 47 (813) 2010 844 50 531 (17) 382 1,790 (220) (246) 1,324 (1,545) (4) 53 - (172) 41 259 35 (263) 44 (56) (172) 35 (263) (18) (418) (1) See ‘Reconciliation of reclassified balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement to statutory schemes’ on page 62. Net cash flow from operations ((cid:219)1,324 million) only partially funded capital expenditures, thus generating a negative free cash flow of (cid:219)172 million. Cash flow from capital and reserves, which amounted to a negative (cid:219)263 million, were due to the payment of dividends. The sale of treasury shares for incentive schemes for senior managers generated a positive cash flow of (cid:219)35 million, while the effect of exchange differences on net borrowings and other changes produced a net outflow of (cid:219)18 million. As a result, net borrowings increased by (cid:219)418 million. In particular Net cash generated from operating profit before changes in working capital of (cid:219)1,790 million related to: - net profit for the year of (cid:219)894 million, including minority interest of (cid:219)50 million; - depreciation, amortisation and impairment of tangible and intangible assets of (cid:219)517 million, the change in the provision for employee benefits of (cid:219)13 million and other changes of (cid:219)1 million; - net gains on the disposal of assets, which had a negative effect of (cid:219)17 million; - net finance expense of (cid:219)37 million and income taxes of (cid:219)345 million. 41 Saipem Annual Report / Financial and economic results The negative change in working capital related to operations of (cid:219)220 million was due to financial flows of projects underway. Dividends, interests and income taxes paid during 2010 of (cid:219)246 million were mainly related to taxes paid and refunded and to the purchase and sale of tax credits. Capital expenditure in 2010 amounted to (cid:219)1,545 million. Details of investments by sector are as follows: Offshore ((cid:219)713 million), Key profit and financial indicators Offshore Drilling ((cid:219)553 million), Onshore Drilling ((cid:219)254 million) and Onshore ((cid:219)25 million). Additional information concerning capital expenditure in 2010 can be found in the ‘Operating review’ section. New equity investments amounted to (cid:219)4 million. Cash flow generated by disposals amounted to (cid:219)53 million. Return On Average Capital Employed (ROACE) Return On Average Capital Employed (ROACE) operative Return On Average Capital Employed is calculated as the ratio between adjusted net profit before minority interest, plus net finance charges on net borrowings less the related tax effect and net average capital employed. The tax rate applied on finance charges is 27.5%, as per the applicable tax legislation. To calculate the Return On Average Operating Capital, the average capital employed is netted of investments in progress that did not contribute to net profit for the year, which amounted to (cid:219)2,225 million at December 31, 2009 and (cid:219)2,312 million at December 31, 2010.

Leverage is a measure of the Group’s level of indebtedness, calculated as the ratio between net borrowings and shareholders’ equity. Management’s objective is to achieve a leverage ratio no higher than 0.5 during the period of implementation of the four-year plan. 2009 0.83 2010 0.80 Leverage 42 Saipem Annual Report / Sustainability Sustainability Saipem’s 2010 sustainability performance is presented in detail in the Sustainability Report, a document the company publishes on an annual basis as a means of communicating with its stakeholders with regard to the programmes, actions and indicators that constitute its sustainability effort. During the year, Saipem continued to work towards integrating a sustainable approach and the use of sustainability tools within its stakeholder relations, especially with clients and local communities, in its operations and in a number of important business projects. The Sustainability Committee, which exercises a sustainability strategy setting role1, met twice in an official capacity during 2010. The Committee discussed sustainability programmes and approved the 2009 Sustainability Report. Local content and externalities Saipem’s sustainability strategy is increasingly focused on maximising and developing the quality of local content as a contribution to the socio-economic context in the areas in which it operates. This approach has the objective of favouring sustainable development and wealth creation by fostering and developing local employment, the skills of local resources and local suppliers. A project to analyse and measure the externalities associated with Saipem’s local content strategy (i.e. the direct, indirect and induced socio-economic impacts of the strategy) was launched in 2009 at Ersai (a Kazakh company, where ownership is 50% Saipem, 50% local) and continued with two assessments carried out in Angola and Peru. The results of the analysis confirmed the positive effects of Saipem’s local content strategy on socio-economic development and skills and resources in the two areas in question. Further details on the two assessments can be found in the 2010 Sustainability Report and will be presented to relevant stakeholders during 2011. Relationships with stakeholders In April 2010, the fourth Sustainability Report, detailing the Group’s sustainability performance in 2009, was published. The report, which was certified by PricewaterhouseCoopers and published with a leaflet containing a brief overview of the report, included detailed information on areas in which Saipem has a strategic presence and on a number of significant local operations. The local stakeholder communication initiatives continued during 2010. Saipem produces and publishes Sustainability Case Studies regarding key countries and key projects which have stood out for their good sustainability practices and which may represent a useful point of reference for future projects in specific countries or geographical areas. During 2010, new Country Case Studies were published on Peru and Kazakhstan, while two new Project Case Studies were published on LNG Marine Facilities - CDB Melchorita (Peru) and West Delta Deep Marine PhIV and Sequoia Joint Development (Egypt). Additional case studies concerning areas of strategic interest for Saipem are currently being prepared. All of the relevant documentation can be found on the sustainability section of the Saipem website at www.saipem.com/sustainability. Recognition of the financial community Saipem’s sustainability effort was recognised by both ratings agencies and financial institutions during 2010. Following its inclusion, during the previous year, in the Dow Jones STOXX sustainability index, Saipem was included in 2010 in the DJSI World index. In March 2010, Saipem was also listed in the FTSE4Good. This listing was confirmed in the index’s September review. Saipem was also selected for listing in the Ethibel EXCELLENCE Investment Register and was included in the ASPI (Advanced Sustainable Performance Indices) Eurozone® indexes. Finally, for the second year running, Saipem was recognised as a ‘Sustainability Leader’ in the Oil Equipment & Services sector in the SAM Sustainability Yearbook 2010. Community sustainability projects Sustainability projects continued during the year in areas where Saipem operates through the implementation of support programmes for business growth (China, Kazakhstan, Peru), the improvement of education and health facilities (Algeria, Angola, Azerbaijan, Congo, Kazakhstan) – including in partnership with local institutions – and the development of local resources. Further details on sustainability strategies, programmes and actions can be found in the 2010 Sustainability Report, which is available on the Saipem website and is also distributed to relevant stakeholders. The report contains detailed information on the most significant countries from a sustainability perspective (i.e. Algeria, Angola, Azerbaijan, Brazil, China, Congo, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Libya, Nigeria, Peru, Saudi Arabia). The Sustainability Committee is chaired by the Saipem Chief Executive Officer and consists of all the Directors of the Corporate functions, the deputy CEO of Saipem SA, the Chief Operating Officers (1) of the Business Units and the Director of Integrated Projects. 43 Saipem Annual Report / Research and development Research and development Asset technology Saipem Group’s asset technology initiatives (i.e. relating to vessels, equipment, processes) are conducted with the aim of improving the sustainability of the Group’s activities in terms of competitiveness, operational reliability and lower environmental impact through technological innovation. During 2010, a number of projects moved from the concept phase to the experimental phase. - The Field Joint Coating systems, the technology for remote monitoring of buckling during pipe launch operations and a number of excavation technologies for certain critical operating scenarios in fact all entered the results validation phase. The year also saw the completion of initial studies of sustainable construction technologies for use in particularly sensitive marine environments (e.g. delicate ecosystems/seabeds) with the aim of mitigating environmental impact and restoring affected areas. Meanwhile, work continued on the detailed design of the main technical systems and subsystems for the launch and production facilities of the new pipelay vessel CastorOne. In addition, work continued on the development of the high capacity systems for pipe abandonment and recovery operations and the launch of large pipes in ultra shallow waters, the systems for monitoring pipe conditions during laying operations, pipe loading equipment and studies for improving the responsiveness of the dynamic positioning systems in extreme sea conditions. Finally, two important events were held to increase the dissemination of Saipem technological know-how and innovation: the ‘Offshore and Arctic Technology Development Workshop’ and the latest edition of the Trofeo dell’Innovazione (Innovation Trophy). Offshore technology The Group’s activities in the offshore technology area during 2010 focused on the development of innovative solutions for offshore oil and gas production in terms of field architecture, concepts and technologies. The main activities carried out during the year pertained to solutions for the offshore developments in frontier areas (e.g. deepwater, Arctic), and the monetisation of offshore natural gas reserves using offshore liquefaction technology. Studies on systems for the exploitation of renewable marine energy sources were also carried out. 44 In the subsea processing area, the effort was focused on a series of tests on new system and subsystems developed in previous years: - the new, patented multipipe gas/liquid gravity separation system went successfully through a second extensive phase of technical performance testing in the frame of a JIP (Joint Industry Project) supported by a number of major oil companies. In this phase, the performances of the system were validated through tests conducted under real flow conditions (gas/oil mixture, under P&T conditions); the development of the liquid/liquid gravity spool separation system continued with the pre-design work and the preparation for a first performance testing phase. The validation of the concept should be carried out in 2011; - 2010 activities in subsea processing works focused on subsea solutions for the treatment of produced water. In the SURF (Subsea, Umbilical, Riser and Flowlines) area, progress was made on activities started in the previous year, including developments on new risers for ultra deep water applications (up to 3,000 m) or for intermediate water depths (between 300 and 500 m), on thermal insulation of subsea elements with complex geometries (FLET, ILT, Spools) and on active heating solutions and anticorrosion technologies. The realisation of subsea field architecture studies for various operators showed the attractiveness of new Subsea Processing Design and innovative SURF technologies and helped identify major emerging needs in terms of new solutions (related to flowlines, risers, subsea treatment, subsea power transmission and control). Activities for floating LNG (FLNG) increased in 2010, in particular with regard to the development of: - medium-scale generic LNG FPSO; - a tandem offloading system employing floating cryogenic hoses. Work on Arctic offshore developments continued in 2010 with participation in various development programs (including basin tests and development of specific softwares) with the aim of better assessing and predicting the operating behaviour of structures in Arctic conditions and with specific applied loads. 2010 activities in the offshore renewable energy area were mainly focused on the full scale (10 m diameter) prototype of the Sabella turbines, which could potentially be installed off the coast of Brittany in the coming years. The participation of the French government in funding the project was officially announced at the end of 2010. Onshore technology In support of Saipem’s core activities in designing and building modern, cost-effective and sustainable upstream, midstream and downstream onshore plants for its customers worldwide, Saipem pursued the development of select proprietary process technologies and related know-how, as well as the application of the most advanced third-party state-of-the-art technologies, focusing in 2010 on the following key areas. Continuing incremental performance improvements to its SnamprogettiTM Urea fertiliser production technology, licensed to date to 120 units world-wide. Following the successful design and in some cases the forthcoming start-up of the largest urea complexes in the world (Engro in Pakistan; Qafco V and VI in Qatar and Matix in India), based on single trains of 3,850 t/d, a design basis has been developed for a possible future ‘jumbo’ complex larger than 5,000 t/d, utilising the same well-proven sequence of technologies. Current development activity continues to focus on optimizing piping, instrumentation and lay-out issues, as well as on special improved steels. An updated mathematical model of the urea plant high pressure section was developed jointly with Eni. Once finally validated, this model will be used for further process improvements. In addition, the design of a pilot ammonia recovery unit is under execution as part of the Urea Zero Emissions project, which will be located in a commercial scale plant. Within the context of the Enel/Eni pilot CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) program, Saipem is applying – among others – its pipeline design knowledge to the section related to the transportation of CO2 in dense phase. The design for Eni of a pilot pipeline loop, to be located in the Enel power station of Brindisi, was completed during the year. Once built, its operation will provide practical know-how for future CO2 pipelines. An MTBE cracking unit based on proprietary technology to produce high purity isobutene has been successfully started-up in India, using a new catalyst. Saipem is close to completing the construction of the first commercial unit of ENSOLVEX, a new proprietary technology for the remediation of soils and sediments contaminated by organic compounds, at the Eni R&M refinery in Gela, Italy. The pre-commissioning has been rescheduled to 2011, due to permit issues. Saipem has completed the commissioning of the first semi-commercial plant to remove CO2 from refinery streams by biofixation, using microalgae selected by Eni R&M laboratories. The biomass produced as a result could be used in the future for the production of biofuels. Saipem Annual Report / Research and development Saipem has filed an additional patent application for ‘Zero Emission Sulphur Handling and Transportation’, a new method of solidifying liquid sulphur in solid blocks, thus consolidating its proprietary position in sulphur management technology. Saipem continues to provide engineering and project management support for the technology development and commercial implementation of certain Eni proprietary R&D programs, foremost of which for EST - Eni Slurry Technology, for which a first full size commercial unit is currently in construction at the Eni R&M refinery in Sannazzaro, Italy. 45 Saipem Annual Report / Quality, Health, Safety and Environment Quality, Health, Safety and Environment Quality To ensure compliance with market requirements, which are extremely varied and competitive and with the international standard ISO 9001:2000, innovative project quality management and quality control tools continued to be defined and implemented. 2010 saw the continuation or commencement of the following initiatives: In the Corporate and business support area: - Customer Satisfaction: implementation of a project sponsored by top management for monitoring Saipem Group customer satisfaction. In addition to the publication of a dedicated Corporate Standard applicable to all Business Units, an online application was developed for recording and analysing clients’ feedback; - Communication and Training: in addition to the usual training activities regarding quality principles aimed at home office, project and operative personnel, 2010 saw: • the launch of an awareness campaign regarding quality principles in all Group sites using multimedia tools and posters connected with the theme of ‘employee engagement’; • the design and development of specific Quality Control training initiatives (basic course on NDT techniques and applicable regulations for Drilling Operations Quality personnel, QA/QC courses for Field Engineers); - Knowledge Management & Sharing: beginning of design work on areas dedicated to the QHSE units of operating companies and main branches (‘QHSE Corner’) on the ‘QHSE Site’ portal, for the purpose of sharing know-how and storing documentation relating to pertinent issues. In the Project Quality Management area: - rationalisation and development of standard Project Quality Management systems for Business Unit (Onshore and Offshore) and Asset investment projects; - completion of the ‘Vessel Reporting System’ project for - evaluating the quality performance of Offshore Construction vessels, including the development of a dedicated periodic reporting system; implementation of engineering review and control and Integrated Design Review methodologies on EPIC projects with a view to a potential future consolidation/implementation at Offshore Business Unit and Asset Investment project level; - performance of an integrated audit of internal processes with a special focus on the application of the Golden Rules & Silver Guidelines defined by Saipem Top Management. 46 In the Quality Control area: - mapping and standardisation of processes and related applications in support of Quality Control activities in fabrication yards; - development of a management system for controlling tubular goods inspections, aimed at improving the planning, effectiveness and efficiency of inspections and at ensuring material traceability; - completion of experimentation at fabrication yards of phased array non-destructive testing and acquisition of same. Phased array technology is a tried and tested methodology which is approved by clients and third party certification bodies; - start of experimentation of new computerised Pipe Tracking System technologies with the objective of automating and improving traceability and control processes. Saipem safety performance Saipem’s safety performance is continuously improving as a result of a constant effort to implement safe working practices, share lessons learned and develop the know-how and capabilities of personnel. The results achieved in 2010 are proof of this effort’s positive effect on safety in the areas in which Saipem has operating companies and branches. Training centres have been set up in these areas in order to ensure the transfer of know-how and skills, while new safety initiatives have been launched and implemented with the aim of promoting safe working practices. However, in spite of the positive results achieved, the year saw a number of fatal accidents occur on Saipem projects. In 2010, five accidents occurred in which six people – two Saipem employees and four members of contractor personnel – lost their lives. Two of the accidents occurred during drilling operations and three on onshore projects. An analysis of lessons learned indicated a number of gaps in our systems, particularly with regard to the management of contractor staff and the implementation of the HSE management system on new projects, where HSE management systems are still in the initial phases of implementation, especially in relation to contractor activities. The Lost Time Incident (LTI) frequency rate for 2010 was 0.40, which represents an improvement of 17% compared with the previous year, while the Total Recordable Incident frequency rate was 1.71 (improvement of 11%). Both indicators are calculated per million man-hours. Leadership in Health and Safety With regard to the Leadership in Health and Safety programme, 2010 brought with it a series of important developments and challenging commitments, including the following: - in May 2010, the Leadership in Safety programme was changed to Leadership in Health & Safety (LiHS). The name change indicates a new company-wide commitment to promoting a health and safety culture at the work place as well as outside of work, with the aim of ensuring a better future for all; in 2010, Saipem Top Management launched the new phase of the LiHS programme, which is geared towards the introduction within the Group of 5 non-negotiable behaviours known as ‘Leading Behaviours’ via an innovative approach to cultural change based on emulation of positive behaviour. The new phase will be supported throughout 2011 by a major communication campaign; in the three years since its launch, the three phases of the LiHS programme have been rolled out to more than 20,000 employees. All three phases continue to be implemented across Saipem; in September 2010, the articles of association of the Fondazione LHS (LHS Foundation) were signed. The foundation, which was created to promote the principles of the LiHS programme, will be involved in research work and in training/information regarding health and safety in the work place with a focus on leadership and behavioural aspects. - - - HSE training protocols During the second half of 2010, the Saipem SpA HSE training protocols were finalised. The training protocols define the basic rules for the development of training programmes for all Saipem professional roles and constitute the basis for the development, in accordance with legal requirements and Saipem policies, of yearly general Training Plans for professional roles and specific project Training Plans adapted to meet the requirements of a specific working environment. Industrial hygiene As a result of changes in national and international legislation, a series of new risk factors were used in the monitoring of work environments carried out at Saipem production sites in Italy and abroad. These were: noise, vibrations, microclimates, hazardous chemicals, electromagnetic fields, welding fumes, manual handling of loads and ionising radiation. In parallel with the monitoring programme at the production sites, a survey and assessment campaign focused on Saipem office buildings throughout Italy was implemented. The campaign examined all those microclimate parameters that under adverse conditions can lead to the phenomenon known as ‘Sick Building Syndrome’ and essentially looked at the following factors: air quality, lighting, ergonomics and microclimate. Saipem Annual Report / Quality, Health, Safety and Environment Following the completion of the monitoring programmes, risk assessment documents were produced. The documentation contains the results of the surveys carried out and details the corrective actions (technical and/or organisational-procedural) to be implemented in areas where the limits established in national and international health and safety regulations were exceeded. Environmental awareness campaign In June 2010, on World Environment Day, the Corporate QHSE Department launched its own environmental awareness campaign. To ensure all Saipem personnel were made aware of the initiative, it was publicised through an announcement on the company intranet and an article published in the in-house magazine ‘Orizzonti’. The principal themes of the 2010 campaign were: - energy saving, with the objective of reducing energy consumption and, consequently, the emission of pollutants into the atmosphere; - oil spill prevention, with the objective of increasing the level of attention during critical activities where there is a risk of oil spills on land or sea; - waste recycling, with the objective of increasing attention to and awareness of the benefits of correct waste segregation/separation. The core message of the campaign was that, with minor lifestyle changes and at no cost whatsoever, each of us can make a difference by adopting environmentally responsible behaviour. Health and Occupational Medicine The main objective of Saipem’s Italian Health and Occupational Medicine service is to carry out health surveillance activities in compliance with specific requirements deriving from European directives and Italian law. The service has agreements in place with more than 20 Occupational Medicine Centres in Italy for the implementation of reliable and efficient health surveillance programmes (including monitoring of alcohol and drug use). The clinical side of the service provided, which involves regular preventive check-ups on workers’ health, is in reality only one aspect of the health surveillance activities. For example ‘Pre Travel Counselling’ training activities are organised to facilitate and promote a travel medicine culture by keeping workers informed with regard to specific risks present in his/her country of destination and the preventive measures that should be adopted. Saipem’s health and medical service continued during 2010 with its usual activities of prevention, protection and promotion and the provision of emergency medical assistance to employees at companies and operating sites, within the framework of the Health Management System (GIPSI). The initiatives launched by the health and medical department during the year included: 47 Saipem Annual Report / Quality, Health, Safety and Environment - - - the BE.ST (BEtter lifeSTyle) programme, which was launched in September on the Saipem 7000. The programme was developed in collaboration with catering firm Ligabue and the CSA (Centro Studi dell’Alimentazione - Centre for Dietary Studies). The objective of the programme is to create alternative, nutritionally-balanced menus based on the Mediterranean diet, with the aim of improving the lifestyle, wellbeing and eating habits of site personnel through a focus on increased health awareness; revision/update of operating site risks using a dedicated Health Risk Assessment software customised for specific Saipem projects and geographical areas; the implementation of a Telediabetology pilot study on board the Saipem 3000, which confirmed the system’s effectiveness in the offshore environments typical of the Oil & Gas industry. Judging by the results of the pilot, Telediabetology will open up new horizons in terms of the remote management, using e-health technology, of not only known cases of diabetes but also of persons who are at risk of developing type-2 diabetes due to a lack of information, monitoring and/or incorrect management. The new version of GIPSI was launched, with the objective of simplifying the reporting system through the creation of a single, all-inclusive programme which will be used to manage all health related information in real time by competent personnel. The implementation of the new electronic reporting system will also contribute towards achieving compliance with the MEDES department’s environmentally-friendly ‘Zero Paper’ policy. 48 Saipem Annual Report / Human resources Human resources this end, an information channel was created through the Overseas Industrial Relations function that aims to enable centralised monitoring of trade union activities at associate and branch companies, thus helping to ensure a global strategy/philosophy that is in line with international agreements. During the year, the function monitored the development of talks for the renewal of work contracts in Kazakhstan, which are expected to be concluded in 2011. Human resources In view of an international market that is characterised by a high degree of instability and change and in line with the new organisational structure of the Human Resources function, 2010 saw the launch of a series of initiatives aimed at recovering efficiency and improving performance. The initiatives involved the introduction of systems for coordinating and increasing decentralised personnel management offices (at Business Unit and geographical level both in Italy and abroad) and systems for monitoring and reporting on the development of significant trends connected with Italian, local and international personnel and their comparison with international benchmarks. On the coordination and support side, new IT tools (some of which are already available for use) and training initiatives (classroom-based and on-the-job) with regard to general and specific issues (taxes and social security, immigration procedures by country, etc.) are due to be introduced. The reporting system, meanwhile, contains information on applicable legislation, references to national collective labour agreements and group guidelines, in order to ensure that a uniform approach is applied to human resources issues. With regard to the management of resources involved in international assignments, a number of projects were implemented to incentivize and support geographical mobility, in line with international best practices. Development, Training and Organisation The uncertain conditions and cautious approach that continued to hold sway on the international markets and in particular on the labour markets led during 2010 to a review of training, development and compensation tools and policies in favour of a self-service/self-development approach geared towards maximising the pro-activity of resources in terms of defining their own development and training plans and seeking increased engagement with their line managers. 49 Workforce Due to the increase in the backlog of orders and the commencement of operations by a number of new assets, 2010 saw a rise in the workforce from 36,468 resources, of which 13,925 with critical professional skills, at year end 2009, to 39,249, of which 15,224 with critical professional skills, at year end 2010. In addition to this growth in absolute terms, the ratio between resources that are critical for success and business sustainability and the total workforce rose from 38.2% in 2009 to 38.8% in 2010. The year also witnessed two other significant trends. The number of female managers rose in 2010 by 0.8%, a not inconsiderable figure if we take into account the fact that Saipem’s workforce tends to be operational and the geographical areas in which personnel is deployed. Finally, local managers increased from 15.9% in 2009 to 17.8%. Industrial relations Saipem’s approach in industrial relations is to pay careful and close attention to the socio-economic context and to the legislation in force in the countries in which it operates, with the aim of ensuring harmonisation and optimal management, in accordance with company policy, of relations with trade unions, employers’ associations, institutions and public bodies. 2010 saw the completion of discussions with national representatives of Trade Union organisations from the Energy and Maritime sectors with respect to the following issues of interest to Saipem and Group companies: - renewal of the agreement relating to the seagoing allowance for seamen, masters and chief engineers serving on board special vessels; renewal of the National Collective Labour Agreement for the Energy and Petroleum Industry for the three-year period 2010-2012, including definition of contractual increases and significant agreements on welfare (supplementary pension funds, supplementary health insurance, etc.); - - signing of new regulations for drilling operations offshore Italy, including definition of new shift regulations and specific allowances. The increasingly globalised labour market – in which a growing number of international institutions are involved – coupled with the growing internationalisation of Saipem itself, the increasingly decentralised nature of its operations in frontier areas and finally the importance of the human factor make centralised monitoring/coordination of Industrial Relations fundamental. To Saipem Annual Report / Human resources Selection activities focused mainly on recruiting experienced personnel and on taking advantage of market opportunities. 2010 saw a fall in the numbers of young personnel and graduates hired as well as the definition and planning of a series of initiatives aimed at technical institutes in Italy designed to enhance the group’s image and improve its ability to recruit Italian school leavers with a view to balancing out the mix of graduates and school leavers at the company. The Saipem e-recruiting portal, eFesto, was provided with enhanced and additional functionalities to ensure greater traceability in all phases of the recruitment process and accurate and effective coordination and control capabilities. Local Content initiatives were launched through training and development campaigns in Kazakhstan and Angola with the objective of increasing the use of local resources in operations positions. In Algeria, in collaboration with the University of Oran, training programmes aimed at young local engineers were created with the aim of developing technical/specialist skills relating to Project Control and HSE and to the Engineering & Construction sectors. Training activities were characterised by a marked focus on ‘law compliant’ initiatives. A series of courses and seminars for Employers, Safety Managers, Safety Supervisors and workers regarding the new work safety legislation introduced under Legislative Decree No. 81/2008 was organised. In addition, e-learning courses for training related to Legislative Decree No. 231/2001 were started. The courses now include the promotion of the Code of Ethics. Training has also been developed for members of the Compliance Committees of subsidiaries in Italy and abroad. Two important conferences were organised during the year. The first was held in order raise awareness of anti-corruption legislation and the relevant procedure adopted within Saipem, while the other was aimed at ensuring the implementation of the code of practice regulating operations with related parties, in compliance with the regulations issued by Consob. Finally, e- learning courses regarding security were launched with the objective of providing resources working abroad with an adequate level of knowledge of the principal security issues. The year also saw the start of an intensive training programme aimed at developing and consolidating the technical/specialist capabilities and skills required for roles that are critical to Saipem’s business but that are difficult to locate on the market. Training initiatives in the Offshore sector included a course for Prefabrication Supervisors (which commenced in 2009), a Field Engineering training course and the implementation of a training programme for Offshore Crane Operators involving a mixture of theoretical classes and practical experience at a specially-created training centre in Rotterdam. In the Onshore area, support activities were carried out in connection with the redefinition of the role of the project engineer, while work continued in relation to the consolidation of the roles of Construction Manager and Site Assistant. The year also saw the review of the Project Management training programme. Finally, training was commenced in support of Saipem’s investment plans, with intensive training programmes taking place for personnel assigned to new vessels that will shortly begin operations. In terms of training for management, personnel courses were introduced for both senior and middle managers with the principal aim of enhancing leadership, communication and resource management and development skills. Human resource development activities was the area most affected during the year by the introduction of new models and by reviews and updates of methodologies and tools. The personnel ‘segmentation’ process (i.e. the procedures and criteria used by Saipem to identify the most desirable resources on the market) received a complete overhaul. As a consequence, the young graduates monitoring process was also updated. At an international level, the monitoring and career planning system for very critical and talented resources was improved.

The objective of the project is to enhance these resources’ abilities to manage and develop their staff in accordance with the Model of Excellence, which sets out the attitudes, characteristics and skills needed for success. The programme known as ‘project Generation Y’, which was launched in 2009 and which was designed to enhance Saipem’s policies for the management and development of young resources, was completed during the year. The initial proposals generated by the project (which were verified and validated using the results of a statistical analysis drawn from a survey of young Italians) are currently being implemented. One of the most important initiatives carried out during the year was the engagement analysis of middle management employees (approximately 3,400, with a response index of above 70%) carried out at operating companies in Italy, France and the United Kingdom with the aim of analysing and identifying the factors driving the motivation and involvement of company resources. The results of the analysis have been communicated to all employees, while action plans are currently being implemented. Market trends and global economic conditions, which remained essentially stable compared with the previous year, continued to dictate a cautious attitude in relation to compensation policies, in particular variable incentive plans (including project incentives) and retention systems. Compensation policies regarding the fixed and variable components of remuneration remained on average at the levels recorded in 2009, with almost complete coverage of local inflation rates and compensation of critical positions at around the market median. In relation to management incentive schemes, the current short-term monetary incentive scheme, which is linked to individual performance and the long-term monetary scheme, linked to the company’s performance in the long-term, was confirmed during the year for Italian and international managerial resources. Individual annual monetary incentives, which were based on actual 2009 management performance, were paid out in April to 222 Italian senior managers, representing 79.3% of the total, with a total cost outlay of (cid:219)6.5 million (22% of total compensation at January 1, 2010). The new targets for 2010 for the same population of senior managers were also defined. Additionally, July 2010 saw the allocation of deferred monetary incentives to 221 senior managers, representing 78.9% of senior managers, with a total cost outlay of (cid:219)5.3 million. Finally, the Board of Directors approved a new long-term monetary scheme to replace the stock option plan that ran until 2008, in order to ensure that the compensation package remained in line with the market average. The scheme was implemented in October 2010 for 70 critical Italian resources, representing 25% of Italian managerial resources. The international Global Grading project, which was completed during the year, involved the development of an internal grading system based on typical positions in Saipem’s market sector. This, together with the introduction of a new system for the calculation Saipem Annual Report / Human resources of expatriate compensation packages is designed to aid the interpretation of compensation analyses, the definition of local compensation strategies and the coordination of actions aimed at ensuring mobility and obtaining international wage comparisons. In terms of communication activities, the year saw a continued effort to enhance the intranet portal with the addition of new functionalities allowing for the introduction of interactive features such as forums, video sharing and message boards. As part of the drive to extend the intranet functions to overseas companies and feature more local content, 2010 saw the launch of a number of channels in French aimed at more than 2000 users. New content was also added to the portal in relation to development activities, such as the Model of Excellence, the site for Knowledge Owners and the results of the Engagement Survey of Middle Managers, which were commented on in a video and a powerpoint presentation. A new corporate video entitled One World One Word was launched to coincide with the commencement of a campaign to enhance the corporate image and reinforce employees’ sense of belonging. During 2010, Saipem’s organisational strategy and actions moved towards the creation of a structure capable of providing the business with a high level of operational flexibility and the maximum possible efficiency, while optimising the available financial, technical and human resources. In this context: - initiatives were carried out to optimise procurement processes with the objective of mitigating the risks associated with price volatility and reducing the time required to purchase goods and services by ensuring greater involvement of the Business Units from the project acquisition phase; the project launched to increase the competitiveness of the Drilling Business Unit was concluded during the year. The project comprised the definition and implementation of a series of organisational changes that regarded structures and processes with the aim of maximising the unit’s effectiveness and efficiency. - The above organisational initiatives were conducted without compromising Saipem’s governance model, which ensures an effective system of separation and reciprocal control of responsibilities and powers. The changes currently being implemented in national and international regulatory and control systems in fact identify a governance model geared towards achieving a continuous effort to improve the design of certain critical company bodies, systems and procedures (appointment of management and control bodies of subsidiaries, system of management for powers of attorney, definition of organisational structures), as central to the management of an enterprise. Other actions included: - the start of a review of the current system of procedures and regulations with the aim of rationalising and increasing the effectiveness of the documentation used to provide guidance and regulate the company’s operations and at the same time enabling the company to respond more rapidly to organisational changes and developments in the applicable external regulatory framework; 51 Saipem Annual Report / Human resources - the systemization of the organisational structures and governance models of Saipem SpA branches, which included the issue of a standard Matrix of Authorizations applicable in all branches. As part of the organisational restructuring initiatives, the Quality, Health, Safety, Environment and Sustainability function underwent a reorganisation during the year. This consisted of the adoption of an organisational model that has already been implemented in a number of staff and business support functions with the objective of increasing the effectiveness and rapidity with which the function responds to the needs of the business units. With regard to foreign operating companies, an important organisational restructuring initiative was completed at Saipem sa with the aim of providing the company with a high level of flexibility to facilitate the management of workloads relating to the Onshore and Offshore business units. This involved the creation of two new positions responsible one for the joint management from a human resources perspective of the Onshore and Offshore business units and the other for the centralised management of the engineering competencies required for the implementation of onshore and offshore projects. 52 Saipem Annual Report / Information Technology Information Technology In the business support area, a large number of initiatives were carried out to improve response time and quality for engineering design and construction activities. The most important partnerships in this sector are with the suppliers Intergraph, Bentley, Aveva and Tekla, with whom we have introduced numerous changes to the engineering and construction support systems in an attempt to reduce the level of product customisation in favour of the adoption of standard solutions. Development of these solutions is guided by Saipem through intensive dialogue with the suppliers aimed at ensuring its requirements are met. By the end of 2010, the shared development schedule for a series of new functionalities in Intergraph’s SmartPlant Material Enterprise and Reference Data application suite had reached the pilot phase. A finished product fully meeting with Saipem’s requirements should be completed during 2011, with the objective of rolling out the new version of the tool in Saipem’s principal engineering centres, sites and fabrication yards. This should enable Saipem to define a multi-year change plan to replace an application suite developed in-house – which is still in use in the onshore business unit – with a product that comes with the full support of its developer, Intergraph, thus mitigating and eventually eliminating what constitutes a significant operating risk. In terms of IT infrastructure, the year saw both the switchover to the Saipem.com domain, which was carried out successfully for both the company website and the email system, and the continuation of the WIE - Windows Infrastructure Evolution project, whose objective is the group-wide overhaul of infrastructure and workstations through the introduction of the functionalities offered by the latest Microsoft platforms. Following a pre-pilot phase which was used for the design of the structural elements of the new distributed Windows architecture, the design of a ‘single forest model’ was carried out. Deploying this model allows the dedicated technical component used to manage the email system to be integrated into the standard Windows domain. During the first half of 2011, a pilot project for the introduction of centralised automated management model of user services will be conducted at a number of international sites. The offices of Saipem sa in Paris will be involved in the project as of the initial conceptual design stage. In telecommunications, 2010 saw the activation on Saipem vessels of the new satellite communications system with dedicated bandwidth provided by Telespazio, while the Orange contract for the network on terrestrial sites was renewed in collaboration with the Procurement function. In addition to the significant savings on running costs already achieved and those that will be obtained in 2011, an increase in the passband was included in the relevant contracts in order to increase the service offered to users. 53 Information, Communication, Technologies 2010 again saw a number of change initiatives implemented on Saipem’s information systems with the aim of improving the level of service provided, in line with company requirements. A number of activities were carried out to complete long-term plans for the enhancement of the principal management systems: the adoption of new functionalities offered by release 6.0 of SAP R/3; the revision of the system architecture of the SAP BW/BO-based datawarehouse; and the continuation of the upgrade of the Oracle Peoplesoft-based personnel management system. In addition, there was a review of the business applications portfolio with the objective of adapting them to meet the requirements of the Oil & Gas market, which are constantly evolving. Under the IBIS Consolidation initiative (connected with the IBIS – Integrated Business Information Systems – long-term investment programme), following the upgrade to SAP R/3 version 6.0 implemented in the previous year, 2010 saw a review of the work processes supported by the application with the purpose of adopting and adapting the added functionalities offered by the new version. The principal initiative was the enhancement of the current IBIS model through the design and implementation of an accounting model for managing working capital based on SAP New General Ledger. The project also encompassed the upgrade where possible of a part of the ABAP custom code in order to take maximum advantage of native SAP functionalities. At the same time, a number of SAP roll outs were also carried out, as well as a revision of the application model in order to accommodate the new functionalities required for the roll out at the Peruvian company Petrex. In coordination with the roll outs initiative, an important functional and technical upgrade was carried out on Spectec’s asset management application, AMOS. In order to mitigate the risks associated with the upgrade, a new improved project management methodology for use on ICT projects was adopted, which contributed to the success of the initiative. The methodology is part of an improvement process that the ICT function has been developing for some time with a view to enhancing its change management capabilities. The WMS Workload Management System, the integrated system for project resource workload planning and control, has reached maturity and its roll out has been completed for the majority of engineering and monitoring resources. Thanks to the widespread roll out of the WMS by the central Workload Management function in Group companies that carry out engineering and monitoring services, this innovative management environment can now be considered a ‘mainstream’ application. It is currently being extended to other Saipem professional families and lines of business. Saipem Annual Report / Information Technology As a result of the implementation of unified communications services, the reductions in telephony costs achieved through the use of IP technology for the transmission of voice conversations over a data network have now been consolidated at a group wide level within Saipem. The initiative was carried out in cooperation with Eni ICT. ICT process governance in 2010 again focused on improving security performance. The year saw the launch of a new initiative involving the analysis of company data and the management of the associated risk. In addition, there were the positive results from the monitoring activities conducted in compliance with the Sarbanes Oxley Act and Law 262. Compliance activities, which were strengthened with the adoption of the international ISO framework 27001, are aimed at improving ICT Governance in the whole Saipem Group. Compliance assessments were carried out for nineteen Group companies, while remediation actions for the areas of weakness identified were monitored for the purposes of continuous improvement. This approach is combined with an intelligent use of the latest security technologies to enable Saipem to significantly reduce the risk of exposure of company systems and data to security threats which are increasingly commonplace in connection with the Internet and associated systems. 54 Saipem Annual Report / Corporate Governance Report and Shareholding Structure Corporate Governance Report and Shareholding Structure, pursuant to Article 123-bisof the Consolidated Finance Act1 approved by the Board of Directors on March 8, 2011 The ‘Corporate Governance Report and Shareholding Structure’ (the ‘Report’) pursuant to Article 123-bis of the Consolidated Finance Act has been prepared as a separate document, approved by Saipem’s Board of Directors on March 8, 2011, and published on Saipem’s website at www.saipem.com under the section ‘Corporate Governance’. The Report was prepared in accordance with the criteria contained in the ‘Guidelines for the preparation of the report on Corporate Governance - II Edition (February 2010)’ published by Borsa Italiana SpA and in the Corporate Governance Code. The Report provides a comprehensive overview of the Corporate Governance System adopted by Saipem SpA. It contains a profile of the Company and the principles by which it operates; information on the Company’s shareholding structure and on its adherence to the Corporate Governance Code (including the principle practices of governance applied and the principle characteristics of the risk and internal control management system in relation to the financial reporting process); and a description of the composition and operation of the administration and control bodies and their committees, their roles and powers and the criteria applied for determining the remuneration of Directors. The report also indicates the procedures adopted with regard to ‘Transactions involving interests held by board directors and statutory auditors and transactions with related parties’, which can be consulted on Saipem’s website www.saipem.com under the section ‘Corporate Governance’, the communication policy for institutional investors and shareholders and the policy regarding the disclosure of inside information. (1) The Corporate Governance Report is published on Saipem’s website www.saipem.com under the section ‘Corporate Governance’. 55 Saipem Annual Report / Risk management Risk management The main industrial risks that Saipem is facing and actively monitoring and managing are the following: (i) the HSE risk associated with the potential occurrence of accidents, malfunctions, or failures with injury to persons and damage to the environment and impacts on operating and financial results; (ii) the country risk; (iii) the project risk associated with the executions phase of engineering and construction contracts undertaken by the Onshore Construction, Offshore Construction and Asset Business Units. For information regarding financial risks, see the paragraph ‘Management of financial risks’ in the summary of significant accounting policies section of the notes to the consolidated financial statements. HSE risk Saipem’s business activities conducted both in and outside of Italy are subject to a broad range of national legislation and regulations, including laws implementing international protocols and conventions relating to specific sectors of activity. These laws and regulations require prior authorisation and/or the acquisition of a license before operations may commence and the compliance with health, safety and environmental protection regulations. Environmental regulations impose restrictions on the types, quantities and concentration of pollutants that can be released into the air, water and soil and require companies to adopt correct waste management practices. In particular, strict operating practices and standards to protect biodiversity must be adopted when exploring for, drilling and producing oil and gas in certain ecologically sensitive locations (protected areas). Failure to comply with environmental, health and safety laws is punishable by criminal and civil sanctions against the individuals responsible and – in certain cases of violations of safety laws – against companies, in accordance with a European model of direct corporate liability implemented in Italy through Legislative Decree 231/2001. Environmental, health and safety laws and regulations have a substantial impact on Saipem’s operations and expenses and liabilities that Saipem may incur in relation to compliance with environmental, health and safety laws and regulations are expected to remain material to the Group’s results of operations or financial position in future years. Recently enacted legislation regarding health and safety in the workplace in Italy introduced new requirements which will have an impact on operations at Eni sites and in particular on relationships with contractors as well as significant repercussions on the models used for attributing 56 liability in the event of violations of health and safety legislation. The new legislation emphasises the importance of adopting certified organisational and management models, which can release companies from corporate liability in the event of violations of legislation regarding health and safety in the workplace. For this purpose, Saipem has adopted HSE guidelines to ensure the health and safety of employees, local communities, contractors and clients and the safeguarding of the environment, in compliance with local and international rules and regulations and in line with international best practices and standards. An ongoing process of risk identification, evaluation and mitigation is at the heart of HSE management operations in all phases of activity and for all business units. This process is implemented through the adoption of effective management procedures and systems designed to suit the specific characteristics of each activity and the sites in which they take place and with a view to achieving the continuous improvement of plant and processes. Additionally, the codification and proceduralization of operating phases has led to a reduction of the human factor in plant risk management. Operating emergencies that may have an adverse impact on assets, people and the environment are managed by the business units at site level through dedicated HSE structures equipped with emergency response plans indicating the corrective actions to be taken to minimise damage in the event of an incident and responsibilities for ensuring they are taken. Saipem’s integrated approach to managing health, safety and environmental issues is supported by the adoption in all Group companies of an HSE management system based on the Saipem/Eni Management System Model. This is a procedure based on an annual cycle of planning, implementation, control, review of results and definition of new objectives. The model is aimed at achieving risk prevention and the systematic monitoring and control of HSE performance, in a cycle of continuous improvement, and is subject to audits by internal and independent experts. Saipem’s facilities are certified to international standards such as ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001 and even EMAS. Saipem also provides an advanced programme of training and development for HSE staff with the aim of: - promoting conduct consistent with the applicable guidelines; - guiding HSE-related cultural, professional and managerial growth of all personnel working at and for Saipem; - supporting knowledge management and HSE risk control. Country risk Substantial portions of Saipem’s operations are performed in countries outside the EU and North America, certain of which may be politically or economically less stable. Developments in the political framework, economic crisis, internal social unrest and conflicts with other countries can compromise temporarily or permanently Saipem’s ability to operate cost efficiently in such countries and may require specific measures (where possible in compliance with Saipem corporate policy) to be taken at an organisational or management level in order to enable the continuation of activities underway in conditions that differ from those originally anticipated. If Saipem’s ability to operate is temporarily compromised, demobilisation is planned according to criteria designed to guarantee the protection of company assets that remain on-site and to minimise the business interruption by employing solutions that accelerate and reduce the cost of business recovery once favourable conditions have returned. The measures outlined above may be costly and have an impact on expected results. Further risks associated with activities in such countries are: (i) lack of well established and reliable legal systems and uncertainties surrounding enforcement of contractual rights; (ii) unfavourable developments in laws and regulations and unilateral contract changes, leading to reductions in the value of Saipem’s assets, forced sales and expropriations; (iii) restrictions on construction, drilling, imports and exports; (iv) tax increases; (v) civil and social unrest leading to sabotage, attacks, violence and similar incidents. While the occurrence of these events is unpredictable, they may have a material adverse impact on Saipem’s financial position and results. Saipem employs a continuous and holistic approach to monitoring political, social and economic risk in countries in which it operates or intends to invest, using the reports on principal project risks and related trends prepared in accordance with Corporate Risk Management Policy and Risk Management procedures and Standards and Security reports prepared in accordance with the Corporate Security Policy and Guidelines on Security Activities. Project risk The main objectives of the Risk and Opportunity and Knowledge Management department are to: - promote the use of the Project Risk Management methodology in tenders and in the execution phase of projects managed by Business Units applying the methodology and on the principal investment projects underway; - assure periodic reporting to management on principal project risks and on trends observed, aggregated by Business Unit and at global level. Implement project portfolio analyses in order to support management decisions and provide an understanding of the external macro risk factors on projects that may impact on company results so that Management can intervene by deploying the appropriate risk management tools of avoidance, mitigation, transfer and acceptance; - assure the spread of a risk management culture within Saipem with a view to achieving structured management of risk and opportunity and contributing to improved management of contingencies; - provide advice, support and guidelines to the Business Units and projects in identifying and evaluating risks and Saipem Annual Report / Risk management opportunities and in all activities related to the implementation of mitigation and improvement measures for risk management and the optimisation of opportunities respectively; - define, develop and update tools and methods for collecting and organising lessons learned and making them available to projects; - ensure adequate training and the necessary support to commercial and project management teams; - ensure that Corporate Guidelines, Procedures and Standards are constantly updated in accordance with international Standards and Codes of Practice, promoting full compliance and correct application within Saipem and its subsidiaries; - contribute to promoting the observance of the Golden Rules and Silver Guidelines, the tool for regulating risk assumption through which Saipem assigns management the responsibility for the decision to assume significant risks. The standards and procedures in force at Saipem comply in terms of project risk management with the principal international risk management and standards. Insurance The Corporate Insurance function, in close cooperation with top management, defines, on an annual basis, Saipem Group guidelines for insurance coverage against the risk of damage to property, third party liability, as well as risks related to the performance of contracts. On the basis of the guidelines, an Insurance Program is defined which identifies specific excess and maximum limit coverage for each type of risk on the basis of an analysis that takes into account claim statistics of recent years, industry statistics and conditions offered by the international insurance market. The Saipem insurance program is structured in such a way as to appropriately transfer to the insurance market risks deriving from operations, in particular the risks associated with the management of the fleet, equipment and other assets, including third party liability risks and risks deriving from the performance of contracts awarded by its clients. Given the coverage that is offered by the insurance market and the changing circumstances on the energy market in which Saipem operates, it is not possible to guarantee that all circumstances and events will be adequately covered by the insurance program. Equally, due to the volatility of the insurance market, it cannot be guaranteed that it will be possible in the future to reasonably maintain adequate insurance coverage at the current rates, terms and conditions. Within the Saipem Insurance Program, a distinction should be made between insurance cover for Group assets (‘Corporate insurance policies’) and the insurance cover connected with project execution (‘Project execution insurance policies’). Corporate insurance policies The Corporate insurance program is structured with an initial band of risk that is self insured through a captive reinsurance company, with amounts in excess covered by a catastrophic insurance program taken out on the insurance market. 57 Saipem Annual Report / Risk management The catastrophic insurance program is composed of policies that cover damage to property, and maritime and non maritime third party liability. Cover can be broken down as follows: Damage to property - ‘Fleet Insurance’ policy: covers the entire fleet against events that cause partial or total damage to vessels. ‘Equipment’ policy: covers all onshore and offshore equipment, for example site equipment, onshore drilling rigs, subsea Remote Operating Vehicles (ROV), etc. ‘Transport’ policy: covers transport, handling and storage of assets and equipment by land, sea or air. ‘Buildings and Sites’ policy: covers owned or rented buildings, offices, storage facilities and shipyards. ‘Other minor risks’ policy: covers minor risks such as theft and employee dishonesty. Third-party liability - ‘Protection & Indemnity’ (‘P&I’) policy: shipowners’ liability cover through a P&I Club that is part of the International Group of P&I Clubs, up to a limit of US $5.6 billion for events occurring during transit and up to US $300 million for events occurring during operations. The policy also includes a sublimit for sea surface pollution by vessels of an amount per event of up to US $1 billion during transit and up to US $300 million during operations. ‘Comprehensive General Liability’ policy: covers all other types of general and third party liability claims arising from Saipem’s industrial activities and supplements the specific P&I coverage up to a limit of (cid:219)300 million per event. - - - - - - ‘Employer’s Liability’ and ‘Personal Accident’ policies: these cover employer liability and employee accident risks respectively on the basis of the specific regulations in force in each country where the Group operates. A key tool in the management of Saipem’s insurable risks is the captive reinsurance company Sigurd Rück AG, set up and operational since 2008, which covers the initial band of risk, corresponding to (cid:219)10 million per event for all classes of risk. Sigurd Rück AG in turn mitigates its portfolio of risks by issuing reinsurance-linked securities on the primary securities market. Project execution insurance policies For all contracts awarded, specific project insurance coverage must be taken out. Generally, the contractual responsibility for such insurance lies with the client. Where the responsibility lies with the contractor, Saipem takes out insurance that will cover all risks connected with the project for its entire duration. Usually it takes out ‘Builders’ All Risks’ insurance, which covers the scope of work of the contract, i.e. damage to the works under construction, as well as to equipment, products and materials required for its construction and third party liability for all works to be performed by the Group during all phases of project execution (engineering, transportation, construction, assembly, testing), including the contractual guarantee period. The high insurance premiums and excesses on such policies is an incentive to Saipem in its efforts to achieve the continuous improvement of its prevention and protection processes in terms of quality, health, safety and environmental impact. 58 Saipem Annual Report / Additional information Additional information Purchase of treasury shares No treasury shares were purchased on the market during 2010.

Consob Regulation on markets Article 36 of Consob Regulation on Markets: conditions for the listing of shares of companies with control over companies established and regulated under the law of non-EU countries With regard to the recently published regulations setting out conditions for the listing of shares of companies with control over companies established and regulated under the law of non-EU countries that are deemed to be of material significance in relation to the consolidated financial statements, the Company discloses that at December 31, 2010, the following eleven Saipem subsidiaries fell within the scope of application of the regulation in question: - Ersai Caspian Contractor Llc; - Petrex SA; - Saipem Contracting (Nigeria) Ltd; - Saipem Contracting Algérie SpA; - Snamprogetti Saudi Arabia Ltd; - Global Petroprojects Services AG; - Saipem Asia Sdn Bhd; - Saipem Misr for Petroleum Services (S.A.E.); - Saudi Arabian Saipem Ltd; - Saipem America Inc; - PT Saipem Indonesia. Procedures designed to ensure full compliance with Article 36 with regard to the above companies have already been adopted. No further regulatory compliance plans are therefore scheduled for 2011. Article 37 of Consob Regulation on Markets: conditions preventing the admission to trading on an Italian regulated market of the shares of subsidiaries subject to management and coordination by another company Pursuant to the requirements set out in paragraph 13 of Article 2.6.2 of the Rules of the Markets organised and managed by Borsa Italiana SpA, the Board of Directors has ascertained that the company satisfies the conditions set out in Article 37 of Consob Regulation on Markets for the admission to trading on an Italian regulated market of the shares of subsidiaries subject to management and coordination by another company. 59 Saipem Annual Report / Additional information Disclosure of transactions with related parties Transactions with related parties entered into by Saipem and identified by IAS 24 concern mainly the exchange of goods, the supply of services, and the provision and utilisation of financial resources, including entering into derivative contracts. All such transactions are an integral part of ordinary day-to-day business and are carried out on an arm’s length basis (i.e. at conditions which would be applied between independent parties) and in the interest of Group companies. Directors, general managers and senior managers with strategic responsibilities must declare, every six months, any transactions they enter into with Saipem SpA or its subsidiaries, directly or through a third party, in compliance with the provisions of IAS 24. The amounts of trade, financial or other operations with related parties are provided in Note 43 to the consolidated financial statements. As of January 1, 2011, the new procedure ‘Transactions involving interests held by board directors and statutory auditors and transactions with related parties’ came into effect. The procedure can be consulted on Saipem’s website www.saipem.com under the section ‘Corporate Governance’. Transactions with the parent company and with entities subject to its direction and coordination Saipem SpA is subject to the direction and coordination of Eni SpA. Transactions with Eni SpA and with entities subject to its direction and coordination constitute transactions with related parties and are commented on in Note 45 ‘Transactions with related parties’ in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Events subsequent to year end New contracts During January 2011, Saipem was awarded new contracts and negotiated variations to existing contracts amounting to approximately (cid:219)1 billion. These can be broken down as follows: - approximately (cid:219)750 million in the Onshore sector relating to contracts reported in the press release of January 14, 2011; - approximately (cid:219)240 million in the Offshore and Onshore Drilling sectors relating to contracts reported in the press release of January 26, 2011. Organisational changes With the aim of facilitating enhanced integration of the Engineering & Project Management competencies with those deriving from our powerful Asset Base, the Onshore and Offshore Business Units have been unified. The resulting single Business Unit, denominated ‘Engineering & Construction’, will be headed by Chief Operating Officer Pietro Varone. The Drilling Business Unit, 60 headed by Chief Operating Officer Giuseppe Caselli, already comprises both Onshore and Offshore segments. In view of the differences in terms of invested capital and margins, reporting of financial results will continue to be split by Onshore and Offshore segments, both for Drilling and Engineering & Construction. In addition, responsibilities for development of new Assets, along with maintenance of Assets (which was previously a support function to the Business Units) have now been reallocated to the two Business Units – Engineering & Construction and Drilling, respectively – based on Asset type. Management outlook Oil industry spending is expected to increase in 2011, underpinning expectations of improved market prospects for the oil services industry. Specifically, Onshore sector spending is expected to experience similar high levels of investment as in 2010, whilst the Offshore sector spending is expected to increase. This should allow for a continued positive trend in the Onshore market and a gradual recovery in the Offshore market, a sector that has remained weak over the last two years. In the Drilling sectors, good demand is expected to lead to a gradual recovery of both utilisation levels and daily rates. As far as Saipem is concerned, the record level of the backlog, its size and quality, and the strong operating performance of the industrial model, underpin expectations of again achieving record results. Specifically compared to 2010, revenues are expected to increase by 5% and EBITDA by 10%. Depreciation is forecast to increase over (cid:219)100 million due to the asset base expansion. Financial expenses are expected to rise due to the charge to the income statement of interest previously capitalised on investments completed in 2010 or to be completed in 2011. The tax rate is currently expected to remain in line with that of 2010. The increase in adjusted net profit is expected to be around 5% compared to the record level of 2010. Investments for 2011 are forecast around (cid:219)1 billion and will be spent on progressively strengthening the Offshore asset base and completing the expansion of the Drilling fleet. Leverage is expected to drop slightly. Non-GAAP measures Certain of the performance indicators used in the Directors’ Report are not included in the IFRS (Non-GAAP measures). They are disclosed to enhance the user’s understanding of the Group’s performance and are not intended to be considered as a substitute for IFRS measures. The Non-GAAP measures used in the Directors’ Report are as follows: - cash flow: the sum of net profit plus depreciation and amortisation; - capital expenditure: calculated by excluding investments in equity interests from total investments; - gross operating profit: a useful measure for evaluating the operating performance of the Group as a whole and of the Saipem Annual Report / Additional information individual sectors of activity, in addition to operating profit. Gross operating profit is an intermediate measure, which is calculated by adding depreciation and amortisation to operating profit; - non-current assets: the sum of net tangible assets, net intangible assets and investments; - net current assets: includes working capital and provisions for contingencies; - net capital employed: the sum of non-current assets, working capital and the provision for employee benefits; - sources of capital employed/coverage: the sum of shareholders’ equity, minority interest and net borrowings.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by applying the cost method, with adjustments where appropriate, except for items that under IFRS must be recognised at fair value, as described in the ‘Summary of significant accounting policies’ section. The consolidated financial statements include the statutory accounts of Saipem SpA and the accounts of all Italian and foreign companies in which Saipem SpA holds the right to directly or indirectly exercise control, determine financial and management decisions and obtain economic and financial benefits. The consolidated financial statements also include, on a line-by-line proportional basis, data of companies managed under joint operating agreements. Subsidiaries performing only limited operating activities are not consolidated. Their non consolidation is therefore not material and does not have a significant effect on total assets, liabilities, net financial position and profit for the year2. Immaterial subsidiaries excluded from consolidation, associates and other interests are accounted for as described under the heading ‘Financial fixed assets’. Consolidated companies, non-consolidated subsidiaries, associates and relevant shareholdings as set forth in Article 126 of Consob Resolution 11971 of May 14, 1999 and subsequent addenda, are separately indicated in the section ‘Scope of consolidation at December 31, 2010’. After this section, there follows a list detailing the changes in the scope of consolidation area from the previous year. Subsidiaries’ financial statements are audited by independent auditors, who examine and certify the information required for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2010, approved by Saipem’s Board of Directors on March 8, 2011, were audited by the independent auditor Reconta Ernst & Young SpA. As the auditor of the Group, Reconta Ernst & Young SpA is responsible for the auditing activities of the subsidiaries, and, to the extent allowed under Italian legislation, when there are other independent auditors, it takes the responsibility of their work. Amounts in these financial statements and the notes thereto are stated in millions of euros ((cid:219) million). Interests in consolidated companies Fully owned subsidiaries are consolidated using the full consolidation method. Assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses related to fully consolidated subsidiaries are therefore wholly incorporated into the consolidated financial statements. The book value of these interests is eliminated against the corresponding portion of their shareholders’ equity. Jointly controlled companies are consolidated using the proportional method. The book value of interests in these companies is therefore eliminated against the corresponding portion of their shareholders’ equity. Assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses are incorporated into the consolidated financial statements proportionally to the extent of the interest held. Subsidiaries and jointly-controlled entities are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and are deconsolidated from the date on which control ceases. The shareholders’ equity in consolidated companies is determined by attributing to each of the balance sheet items its fair value at the date on which control is acquired. The excess of the purchase price of an acquired entity over the total fair value assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognised as goodwill. Negative goodwill is recognised in the income statement. Equity and net profit attributable to minority interests are shown separately in the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated income statement, respectively. If the degree of control acquired is not total, the equity attributable to minority interests is determined on the basis of the fair value of the assets and liabilities at the date on which control is acquired, excluding any related goodwill (partial goodwill method). Alternatively, the full value of goodwill arising on the acquisition is recognised, including the share attributable to minority interest (full goodwill method)3. In this case, equity attributable to minority interests is shown at fair value including the related goodwill. The choice of method is made for each individual business combination on a transaction by transaction basis. In the event that additional ownership interests in subsidiaries are purchased from minority shareholders, any excess of the amount paid over the carrying value of the minority interest acquired is recognised directly in equity as goodwill. Similarly, the effects of disposals of ownership interests in a subsidiary that do not result in the loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. The difference between the proceeds from the disposal of the subsidiary and its carrying amount as at the date of disposal – including the cumulative amount of any exchange differences that relate to the subsidiary, recognised in the separate component of equity in accordance with IAS 21, the ‘Effects of changes in foreign exchange rates’ – is recognised in the consolidated income statement as a gain or loss on the disposal. (1) The international accounting standards used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are substantially the same as those issued by the IASB and in force in 2010, since the current differences between the IFRS endorsed by the European Commission and those issued by the IASB relate to circumstances not applicable to the Group. (2) According to the IASB conceptual framework, ‘information is material if its omission or misstatement could influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements’. (3) Decision to apply the partial or full goodwill method is also made for business combinations where negative goodwill is taken to the income statement (i.e. a gain on bargain purchase). 72 Saipem Annual Report / Notes to the consolidated financial statements Intercompany transactions Unrealised intercompany profit is eliminated, as are intercompany receivables, payables, revenues and expenses, guarantees (including performance bonds), commitments and risks. Intercompany losses are not eliminated since they are considered an impairment indicator of the assets transferred. Foreign currency translation Financial statements of foreign companies having a functional currency other than the euro (the Group’s presentation currency) are converted into the presentation currency applying: (i) closing exchange rates for assets and liabilities; (ii) historical exchange rates for equity accounts; and (iii) average rates for the year to the income statement (source: Bank of Italy). Cumulative exchange rate differences resulting from this translation are recognised in shareholders’ equity under the item ‘Cumulative currency translation differences’ for the portion relating to the Group’s interest and under ‘Minority interest’ for the portion related to minority shareholders. Cumulative exchange differences are charged to the income statement when an investment is fully disposed of or when the investment ceases to qualify as a controlled company. In the event of a partial disposal that does not result in the loss of control, the portion of exchange differences relating to the interest sold is recognised under minority interest in equity. The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries translated into euro are denominated in the functional currencies of the countries where the entities operate, i.e. the local currency or the currency in which most financial transactions and assets and liabilities are denominated. The exchange rates that have been applied for the translation of financial statements in foreign currencies are as follows: y c n e r r u C US Dollar British Pound Sterling Algerian Dinar Angolan Kwanza Argentine Peso Australian Dollar Azerbaijan Manat Brazilian Real Canadian Dollar Croatian Kuna Dominican Peso Egyptian Pound Indian Rupee Indonesian Rupee Malaysian Ringgit Mexican Peso Nigerian Naira Norwegian Kroner Peruvian New Sol Qatar Riyal Romanian New Leu Russian Rouble Saudi Arabian Riyal Singapore Dollar Swiss Franc UAE Dirham 9 0 0 2 , 1 3 . c e D t a e t a r e g n a h c x E 1.4406 0.8881 104.172 128.608 5.46185 1.6008 1.15723 2.5113 1.5128 7.3 51.9443 7.90576 67.04 13,626.1 4.9326 18.9223 215.548 8.3 4.16189 5.24609 4.2363 43.154 5.40329 2.019 1.484 5.29142 0 1 0 2 , 1 3 . c e D t a e t a r e g n a h c x E 1.3362 0.86075 99.2612 123.79 5.30994 1.3136 1.06739 2.2177 1.3322 7.383 50.0039 7.75751 59.758 12,002.1 4.095 16.5475 203.444 7.8 3.75086 4.86375 4.262 40.82 5.0106 1.7136 1.2504 4.90781 e t a r e g n a h c x e e g a r e v a 0 1 0 2 1.32572 0.85784 98.0911 121.852 5.1856 1.44231 1.06434 2.33143 1.36511 7.28906 48.701 7.47158 60.5878 12,041.7 4.26679 16.7373 200.252 8.0043 3.74495 4.82589 4.21216 40.2629 4.97165 1.80552 1.38034 4.86925 73 Saipem Annual Report / Notes to the consolidated financial statements Summary of significant accounting policies The most significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are described below. Current assets Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Bank overdrafts are classified as current liabilities under the item ‘Short-term debt’. Inventories Inventories, with the exception of contract work-in-progress, are stated at the lower of purchase or production cost and market value. The cost of inventories is determined by applying the weighted average cost method, while market value – given that the inventories are mainly spare parts – is taken as the lower of replacement cost or net realisable value. Work-in-progress relating to long-term contracts is stated on the basis of agreed contract revenue determined with reasonable certainty, recognised in proportion to the stage of completion of contract activity. Given the nature of the contracts and the type of work, the percentage of completion is calculated on the basis of the proportion that contract costs incurred for work performed to date bear to the estimated total contract costs (i.e. cost-to-cost method). Adjustments made for the economic effects of using this method relating to differences between amounts matured based on stage of completion and recognised revenues are included under contract work-in-progress if positive or under trade payables if negative. When hedged by derivative contracts qualifying for hedge accounting, revenues denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the contracted rates. Otherwise, they are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at year end. The same method is used for costs denominated in a foreign currency. The valuation of work-in-progress considers all directly related costs, contractual risks and contract revision clauses, where they can be reliably estimated. Modifications to original contracts for additional works are recognised when realisation is probable and the amount can be reliably estimated. Expected losses on contracts are recognised fully in the year in which they become probable. Bidding costs are expended in the year in which they are incurred. Current financial assets Held for trading financial assets and available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value with gains or losses recognised in the income statement under ‘Finance income (expense)’4 and to the equity reserve related to other comprehensive income, respectively. In the latter case, changes in fair value recognised in equity are taken to the income statement when the asset is sold or impaired. The objective evidence that an impairment loss has occurred is verified considering, inter alia, significant breaches of contracts, serious financial difficulties or the high probability of insolvency of the counterparty. Losses are deducted from the carrying amount of the asset. Available-for-sale financial assets include financial assets other than derivative financial instruments, loans and receivables, held-for-trading financial assets and held-to-maturity financial assets. The fair value of financial instruments is determined by market quotations or, in their absence, by the value resulting from the adoption of suitable financial valuation models which take into account all the factors adopted by market operators and prices obtained in similar recent transactions in the market. Interest and dividends on financial assets stated at fair value are accounted for on an accrual basis as ‘Finance income (expense)’ and ‘Other income (expense) from investments’, respectively. When the purchase or sale of a financial asset occurs under a contract whose terms require delivery of the asset within the time frame established generally by regulation or convention in the market place concerned (e.g. purchase of securities on regulated markets), the transaction is accounted for on the settlement date. Receivables are stated at amortised cost (see ‘Financial fixed assets - Receivables and financial assets held to maturity’). Transferred financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial assets are transferred together with the risks and rewards of ownership. Non-current assets Tangible assets Tangible assets are recognised using the cost model and stated at their purchase or production cost including any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset into operation. In addition, when a substantial period of time is required to bring the asset into operation, the purchase price or production cost includes the borrowing costs incurred that could have otherwise been saved had the investment not been made. The purchase or production costs are net of government grants related to assets, which are only recognised when all the required conditions have been met. In the case of a present obligation for the dismantling and removal of assets and the restoration of sites, the carrying value includes, with a corresponding entry to a specific provision, the estimated (discounted) costs to be borne at the moment the asset is retired. The accounting treatment of changes in estimates for these provisions, the passage of time and the discount rate are indicated under ‘Provisions for contingencies’. Assets held under finance leases or under leasing arrangements that do not take the legal form of a finance lease but substantially transfer all the risks and rewards of ownership of the leased asset are recognised at fair value, net of taxes due from the lessor or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Leased assets are included within tangible assets. A corresponding financial debt payable to the lessor is recognised as a financial liability. These assets are depreciated using the criteria described below. Where it is not reasonably certain that the purchase option will be exercised, leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful life of the asset. (4) From 2009, changes in the fair value of non-hedging commodity derivatives, including the effects of settlements, are recognised under ‘Other operating income and expenses’. 74 Saipem Annual Report / Notes to the consolidated financial statements Expenditures on renewals, improvements and transformations that extend the useful lives of the related asset are capitalised. Tangible assets are depreciated systematically using a straight-line method over their useful life, which is an estimate of the period over which the assets will be used by the company. When tangible assets comprise more than one significant element with different useful lives, each component is depreciated separately. The depreciable amount of an asset is its cost less the estimated residual value at the end of its useful life, if this is significant and can be reasonably determined. Land is not depreciated, even where purchased with a building. Tangible assets held for sale are not depreciated but are valued at the lower of book value and fair value less costs to sell (see ‘Non-current assets held for sale’). Replacement costs of identifiable components in complex assets are capitalised and depreciated over their useful life. The residual book value of the component that has been replaced is charged to the income statement. Ordinary maintenance and repair costs are expensed when incurred. The carrying value of tangible assets is reviewed for impairment whenever events indicate that the carrying amounts for those assets may not be recoverable. The recoverability of an asset is assessed by comparing its carrying value with the recoverable amount, represented by the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If there is no binding sales agreement, fair value is estimated on the basis of market values, recent transactions, or the best available information that shows the proceeds that the company could reasonably expect to collect from the disposal of the asset. Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the use of the asset and, if significant and reasonably determinable, from its disposal at the end of its useful life, net of disposal costs. Cash flows are determined on the basis of reasonable and documented assumptions that represent the best estimate of the future economic conditions during the remaining useful life of the asset, giving more importance to independent assumptions. Discounting is carried out at a rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset that are not reflected in the estimate of future cash flows. The discount rate used is the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) adjusted for risks specific to the market. Value in use is calculated net of the tax effect as this method results in values similar to those resulting from discounting pre-tax cash flows at a pre-tax discount rate deriving, through an iteration process, from a post- tax valuation. Valuation is carried out for each single asset or, if the realisable value of a single asset cannot be determined, for the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates independent cash inflows from their continuous use (i.e. ‘cash generating unit’). If the reasons for impairment cease to exist, the impairment loss is reversed to the income statement as income from revaluation. The value of the asset is written back to the lower of the recoverable amount and the original book value before impairment and net of any depreciation that would have been incurred had no impairment loss been recognised. Tangible assets destined for specific operating projects, for which no further future use is envisaged due to the characteristics of the asset itself or high usage during project execution, are depreciated over the duration of the project. Intangible assets Intangible assets are assets without physical substance, controlled by the company and capable of producing future economic benefits, and goodwill acquired in business combinations. An asset is classified as intangible when management is able to distinguish it clearly from goodwill. This condition is normally met when: (i) the intangible asset arises from legal or contractual rights, or (ii) the asset is separable, i.e. can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, either individually or as an integral part of other assets. An entity controls an asset if it has the ability to obtain the future economic benefits related to an asset and to restrict the access of others to those benefits. Intangible assets are initially stated at cost as determined by the criteria used for tangible assets. Intangible assets with a defined useful life are amortised systematically over their useful life estimated as the period over which the assets will be used by the company. The amount to be amortised and the recoverability of their book value are determined in accordance with the criteria described in the section ‘Tangible assets’. Goodwill and other intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are not amortised. The recoverability of their carrying value is reviewed at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the level of the smallest aggregate (cash generating unit) on which the company, directly or indirectly, evaluates the return on the capital expenditure to which goodwill relates. The cash generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use, and that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. If the carrying amount of the cash generating unit, including goodwill allocated thereto, exceeds the cash generating unit’s recoverable amount, the excess is recognised as impairment5. The impairment loss is first allocated to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill. Any remaining excess is allocated on a pro-rata basis to the carrying value of the assets that form the cash generating unit. Impairment charges against goodwill are not reversed6. Negative goodwill is recognised in the income statement. Costs of technological development activities Costs of technological development activities are capitalised when the company can prove that: (a) there is the technical capacity to complete the asset and make it available for use or sale; (b) there is the intention to complete the asset and make it available for use or sale; (c) it is possible to make the asset available for use or sale; (d) it can be shown that the asset is able to produce future economic benefits; (e) technical, financial and other resources are available to complete development of the asset and make the asset available for use or sale; the cost attributable to the intangible asset can be reasonably determined. (f) (5) For the definition of the recoverable amount, see ‘Tangible assets’. (6) Impairment charges recognised in an interim period are not reversed even if no loss, or a smaller loss, would have been recognised had the impairment been assessed only at the end of the subsequent interim period. 75 Saipem Annual Report / Notes to the consolidated financial statements Grants Grants related to assets are recorded as a reduction of the purchase price or production cost of the related assets when there is reasonable assurance that all the required conditions attached to them, agreed upon with government entities, will be met. Grants related to income are recognised in the income statement. Financial fixed assets INVESTMENTS Investments in subsidiaries excluded from consolidation and associates are accounted for using the equity method. When there is objective evidence of impairment (see also section ‘Current financial assets’), the recoverability is tested by comparing the carrying amount and the related recoverable amount determined adopting the criteria indicated in the item ‘Tangible assets’. Subsidiaries excluded from consolidation and associates may be accounted for at cost, adjusted for impairment losses, if this does not result in a misrepresentation of the company’s financial condition and results. When the reasons for their impairment cease to exist, investments accounted for at cost are revalued within the limit of the impairment made and their effects are taken to the income statement item ‘Other income (expense) from investments’. Other investments, included in non current assets, are recognised at their fair value and their effects are included in the equity reserve related to other comprehensive income. Changes in fair value recognised in equity are charged to the income statement when the investment is sold or impaired. When investments are not traded in a public market and fair value cannot be reasonably determined, investments are accounted for at cost, adjusted for impairment losses; impairment losses may not be reversed7. The risk deriving from losses exceeding shareholders’ equity is recognised in a specific provision to the extent the parent company is required to fulfil legal or implicit obligations towards the subsidiary or to cover its losses. RECEIVABLES AND HELD-TO-MATURITY FINANCIAL ASSETS Receivables and financial assets held to maturity are stated at cost represented by the fair value of the initial exchanged amount adjusted to take into account direct external costs related to the transaction (e.g. fees of agents or consultants, etc.). The initial carrying value is then adjusted to take into account capital repayments, devaluations and amortisation of the difference between the reimbursement value and the initial carrying value. Amortisation is carried out on the basis of the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts the present value of estimated future cash flows to the initial carrying value (i.e. the amortised cost method). Receivables for finance leases are recognised at an amount equal to the present value of the lease payments and the purchase option price or any residual value; the amount is discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease. Any impairment is recognised by comparing the carrying value with the present value of the expected cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate defined at initial recognition or at the moment of its updating to reflect re-pricings contractually established (see also ‘Current assets’). Receivables and held-to-maturity financial assets are recognised net of the provision for impairment losses. When the impairment loss is definite, the provision is used. Otherwise it is released. Changes to the carrying amount of receivables or financial assets arising from amortised cost valuation are recognised as ‘Finance income (expenses)’. Non-current assets held for sale Non-current assets and current and non-current assets included within disposal groups, whose carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through their continuing use, are classified as held for sale. Non-current assets held for sale, current and non-current assets included within disposal groups and liabilities directly associated with them are recognised in the balance sheet separately from the entity’s other assets and liabilities. Non-current assets held for sale are not depreciated and are measured at the lower of the fair value less costs to sell and their carrying amount. Any difference between the carrying amount and the fair value less costs to sell is taken to the income statement as an impairment loss; any subsequent reversal is recognised up to the cumulative impairment losses, including those recognised prior to qualification of the asset as held for sale. Financial liabilities Debt is carried at amortised cost (see ‘Financial fixed assets - Receivables and held-to-maturity financial assets’ above). Provisions for contingencies Provisions for contingencies are liabilities for risks and charges of a definite nature and whose existence is certain or probable but for which at year-end the timing or amount of future expenditure is uncertain. Provisions are recognised when: (i) there is a present obligation (legal or constructive), as a result of a past event; (ii) it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; (iii) a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions represent the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation or to transfer it to a third parties at the balance sheet date. The amount recognised for onerous contracts is the lower of the cost necessary to fulfil the obligations, net of expected economic benefits deriving from the contracts, and any compensation or penalties arising from failure to fulfil these obligations. Where the effect of the time value of money is material and the payment dates of the obligations can be reliably estimated, the provisions should be discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as ‘Finance income (expense)’. When the liability regards a tangible asset, the provision is stated with a corresponding entry to the asset to which it refers. The income statement charge is made through the depreciation process. The costs that the company expects to bear in order to carry out restructuring plans are recognised when the company formally defines the plan and the interested parties have developed the reasonable expectation that the restructuring will happen. Provisions are periodically updated to show the variations of estimates of costs, production times and actuarial rates. The estimated revisions of the provisions are recognised in the same income statement item that previously held the provision, or, when the liability regards tangible (7) Impairment charges recognised in an interim period are not reversed even if no loss, or a smaller loss, would have been recognised had the impairment been assessed only at the end of the subsequent interim period. 76 Saipem Annual Report / Notes to the consolidated financial statements assets, with a corresponding entry to the assets to which they refer. In the notes to the consolidated financial statements, the following contingent liabilities are described: (i) possible, but not probable, obligations arising from past events, whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the company; (ii) present obligations arising from past events whose amount cannot be measured with sufficient reliability or whose settlement will probably not require an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits. Employee benefits Post-employment benefit plans, including constructive obligations, are classified as either ‘defined contribution plans’ or ‘defined benefit plans’, depending on the economic substance of the plan as derived from its principal terms and conditions. In the first case, the company’s obligation, which consists of making payments to the State or to a trust or fund, is determined on the basis of the contributions due. The liabilities related to defined benefit plans, net of any plan assets, are determined on the basis of actuarial assumptions8 and charged on an accruals basis during the employment period required to obtain the benefits. The valuation of the liability is made by independent actuaries. The actuarial gains and losses of defined benefit plans are recognised pro-rata on service in the income statement using the corridor method, if and to the extent that the net cumulative actuarial gains and losses unrecognised at the end of the previous reporting period exceed the greater of 10% of the present value of the defined benefit obligation and 10% of the fair value of the plan assets, over the expected average remaining working lives of the employees participating in the plan. Such actuarial gains and losses derive from changes in the actuarial assumptions used or from a change in the conditions of the plan. Obligations for long-term benefits are determined by adopting actuarial assumptions. The effect of changes in actuarial assumptions or a change in the characteristics of the benefit are taken to profit or loss in their entirety. Treasury shares Treasury shares are recorded at cost and as a reduction of equity. Gains or losses from the subsequent sale of treasury shares are recorded as an increase (or decrease) in equity. Revenues Revenues related to contract work-in-progress are recognised on the basis of contractual revenues, with reference to the stage of completion determined using the cost-to-cost method. Revenues for contract work- in-progress in a foreign currency are recognised at the euro exchange rate on the date the stage of completion of a contract is measured with the customer. This value is adjusted to take into account exchange differences arising on derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting. Advances are recognised at the exchange rate on the date of payment. Requests for additional payments deriving from a change in the scope of the work are included in the total amount of revenues when it is probable that the client will approve the variation and the related amount. Claims deriving, for example, from additional costs incurred for reasons attributable to the client are included in the total amount of revenues only when it is probable that the client will accept them. Work that has not yet been accepted is recognised at the year-end exchange rate. Revenues associated with sales of products and services, with the exception of contract work-in-progress, are recorded when the significant risks and rewards of ownership pass to the customer or when the transaction can be considered settled and associated revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue related to partially rendered services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion, providing this can be measured reliably and that there is no significant uncertainty regarding the collectibility of the amount and the related costs. When the outcome of the transaction cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent of costs incurred that are expected to be recoverable. Revenues are stated net of returns, discounts, rebates and bonuses and direct taxation. Costs Costs are recognised when the related goods and services are sold, consumed or allocated, or when their future benefits cannot be determined. Operating lease payments are recognised in the income statement over the length of the contract. Labour costs comprise remuneration paid, provisions made to pension funds, accrued holidays, national insurance and social security contributions in compliance with national contracts of employment and current legislation. Given their compensatory nature, labour costs also include stock options granted to senior managers. The instruments granted are recorded at fair value on the vesting date and are not subject to subsequent adjustments. The current portion is calculated pro-rata over the vesting period9. The fair value of stock options is determined using valuation techniques which consider conditions related to the exercise of options, current share prices, expected volatility and the risk-free interest rate. The fair value of stock options is shown in the item ‘Payroll and related costs’ as a contra entry to the equity item ‘Other reserves’. The costs for the acquisition of new knowledge or discoveries, the study of products or alternative processes, new techniques or models, the planning and construction of prototypes or any other costs incurred for other scientific research activities or technological development, are generally considered current costs and expensed as incurred. These costs are capitalised when they meet the requirements listed under ‘Costs of technological development activities’. Exchange rate differences Revenues and costs associated with transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency by applying the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities in currencies other than the functional currency are converted by applying the year-end exchange rate. The effect is recognised in the income statement. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency valued at cost are translated at the initial exchange rate. Non-monetary assets that are re-measured at fair value (i.e. at their recoverable amount (8) Actuarial assumptions relate to, inter alia, the following variables: (i) future salary levels; (ii) employee mortality rate; (iii) employee turnover rate; (iv) percentage of plan participants with dependents eligible to receive benefits (e.g. spouses and children); (v) for medical assistance plans, frequency of claims and future medical costs; (vi) interest rates. (9) Period between the date of the award and the date on which the option can be exercised. 77 Saipem Annual Report / Notes to the consolidated financial statements or realisable value), are translated at the exchange rate applicable on the date of re-measurement. Dividends Dividends are recognised at the date of the general shareholders’ meeting in which they were declared, except when the sale of shares before the ex-dividend date is certain. Income taxes Current income taxes are determined on the basis of estimated taxable income. The estimated liability is recognised in ‘Income tax payables’. Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be paid to (recovered from) the tax authorities, using the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted for future years. Deferred tax assets are recognised when their realisation is considered probable. For temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, deferred tax liabilities are not recorded if the investor is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the reversal will not occur in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded under non-current assets and liabilities and are offset at single entity level if related to offsettable taxes. The balance of the offset, if positive, is recognised in the item ‘Deferred tax assets’; if negative, in the item ‘Deferred tax liabilities’. When the results of transactions are recognised directly in shareholders’ equity, current taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities are also charged to shareholders’ equity. Derivatives A derivative is a financial instrument which has the following characteristics: (i) its value changes in response to the changes in a specified interest rate, financial instrument price, commodity price, foreign exchange rate or other variable; (ii) it requires no initial net investment or the investment is small; (iii) it is settled at a future date. Derivatives, including embedded derivatives that are separated from the host contract, are assets and liabilities recognised at their fair value, which is estimated using the criteria described in the section ‘Current assets’. Consistently with derivatives as hedging instruments whenever possible. its business requirements, Saipem classifies Derivatives are classified as hedging instruments when the relationship between the derivative and the subject of the hedge is formally documented and the effectiveness of the hedge is high and is tested regularly. When hedging instruments cover the risk of changes in the fair value of the hedged item (fair value hedge; e.g. hedging of changes in the fair value of fixed interest rate assets/liabilities), they are stated at fair value, with changes taken to the income statement. Hedged items are accordingly adjusted for changes in their fair value attributable to the hedged risk. A cash flow hedge is a hedge of the exposure to variability in cash flows that could affect profit or loss and that is attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability (such as future interest payments on variable rate debt) or a highly probable forecast transaction, such as project income/costs. The effective portion of changes in fair value of derivatives designated as hedges under IAS 39 is recorded initially in a hedging reserve and is recognised in the income statement in the period in which the hedged item affects the income statement. The ineffective portion of changes in fair value of derivatives, as well as the entire change in fair value of those derivatives not designated as hedges or that do not meet the criteria set out in IAS 39, are taken directly to the income statement under ‘Finance income (expenses)’. Financial statements10 Assets and liabilities of the balance sheet are classified as current and non-current11. Items of the income statement are presented by nature12. The statement of comprehensive income shows net profit together with incomes and expenses that are recognised directly in equity in accordance with IFRS. The statement of changes in shareholders’ equity includes profit and loss for the year, transactions with shareholders and other changes in shareholders’ equity. The statement of cash flows is presented using the indirect method, whereby net profit is adjusted for the effects of non-cash transactions. Risk management The main risks that Saipem is facing and actively monitoring and managing are the following: (i) the market risk deriving from exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and exchange rates between the euro and the other currencies used by the company and the risk deriving from exposure to commodity price volatility; (ii) the credit risk deriving from the possible default of a counterparty; (iii) the liquidity risk deriving from the risk that suitable sources of funding for the Group’s operations may not be available. (10) The financial statements schedules are the same as those adopted in the 2009 Annual Report, with the exception of the cash flow statement, which has been modified in order to provide an articulation of the items included in ‘Net cash provided by operating activities’, ‘Net cash used in investing activities’ and ‘Net cash used in financing activities’. The restatement of comparative data led to an increase in ‘Net cash used in investing activities’ of (cid:219)184 million and a corresponding decrease in ‘Net cash used in financing activities’. In particular, the main changes regarded: (i) the elimination of the items ‘Net cash generated from operating profit before changes in working capital’ and ‘Net cash flow from operations’; (ii) the creation of the item ‘Effect of accounting using the equity method’; (iii) the inclusion in the item ‘Changes in working capital’ of net impairments (write- ups) of inventory, trade receivables and changes in the fair value of derivative contracts, which were previously included in the item ‘Impairments (write-ups)’; (iv) inclusion in the item ‘Changes in working capital’ of changes in the provisions for contingencies; (v) presentation of the change in the provision for employee benefits after the item ‘Cash provided by operating activities’; (vi) the inclusion of the item ‘Securities’, which was previously included in ‘Net cash used in financing activities’, in the items ‘Cash flow from investing activities’ and ‘Cash flow from disposals’; (vii) the item ‘Collection and transfer of financing receivables and other short-term financial assets’ has been renamed ‘Financing receivables’ and includes the items ‘Repayments of short-term receivables’ and ‘Repayments of short-term receivables (debt)’, which were previously included in ‘Net cash used in financing activities’; (viii) the items ‘Proceeds from short-term debt’, ‘Repayments of short-term receivables (debt)’ and ‘Increase (decrease) in short-term debt to banks’ have been included in the item ‘Increase (decrease) in short-term debt’. (11) As of 2009, non-hedging derivatives are shown under the items ‘Other current assets’/‘Other current /liabilities’ and ‘Other non-current assets’/‘Other non-current liabilities’, depending on their settlement date. (12) Additional information regarding financial instruments, applying the classification required by IFRS, is provided under Note 31 ‘Guarantees, commitments and risks - Additional information on financial instruments’. 78 Saipem Annual Report / Notes to the consolidated financial statements Financial risks are managed in accordance with guidelines defined by the Parent Company, with the objective of aligning and coordinating Group companies’ policies on financial risks. For further details on industrial risks, see the ‘Risk management’ section in the Directors’ report. MARKET RISK Market risk is the possibility that changes in currency exchange rates, interest rates or commodity prices will adversely affect the value of the Group’s financial assets, liabilities or expected future cash flows. Saipem actively manages market risk in accordance with a set of policies and guidelines that provide a centralised model of conducting finance, treasury and risk management operations based on the Group Treasury Structures. Exchange rate risk Exchange rate risk derives from the fact that Saipem’s operations are conducted in currencies other than the euro and that revenues and costs from a significant portion of projects implemented are denominated in or linked to non-euro currencies. This impacts on: - profits, which may be significantly affected by exchange rate fluctuations on specific transactions arising from the time lag existing between the execution of a given transaction and the definition of the relevant contractual terms (economic risk) and by the conversion of foreign currency-denominated trade and financial payables and receivables (transaction risk); the Group’s reported results and shareholders’ equity, as financial statements of subsidiaries denominated in currencies other than the euro are translated from their functional currency into euro (translation risk). - Saipem’s foreign exchange risk management policy is to minimise economic and transactional exposures arising from foreign currency movements. Saipem does not undertake any hedging activity for risks deriving from the translation of foreign currency denominated profits or assets and liabilities of subsidiaries that prepare financial statements in a currency other than the euro. Saipem uses a number of different types of derivative contract to reduce economic and transaction exposure, such as currency swaps, forwards and options. Such derivatives are evaluated by the Eni Corporate Finance Unit of Eni SpA at fair value on the basis of market prices provided by specialised sources. Planning, coordination and management of this activity at Group level is the responsibility of the Saipem Treasury Department, which closely monitors the correlation between derivatives and their underlying flows as well as ensuring their correct accounting representation in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards. An exchange rate sensitivity analysis was performed for those currencies other than euro for which exchange risk exposure in 2010 was highest in order to calculate the effect on the income statement and shareholders’ equity of hypothetical positive and negative variations of 10% in the exchange rates. The analysis was performed for all relevant financial assets and liabilities denominated in the currencies considered and regarded in particular the following items: - exchange rate derivatives; trade and other receivables; - - trade and other payables; - cash and cash equivalents; - short and long-term financial liabilities. For exchange rate derivatives, the sensitivity analysis on fair value was conducted by comparing the conditions underlying the forward price fixed in the contract (i.e. spot exchange rate and interest rate) with spot rates and interest rate curves corresponding to the relevant contractual maturity dates, on the basis of year end exchange rates subjected to hypothetical positive and negative changes of 10%, with the resulting effects weighted on the basis of the notional amounts. The analysis did not examine the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on the measurement of work in progress, as under IAS 32, work in progress does not constitute a financial asset. Moreover, the analysis regards exposure to exchange rate risk in accordance with IFRS 7 and therefore does not consider the effects of the conversion of financial statements of consolidated companies with functional currencies other than the euro. A positive variation in exchange rates between the foreign currencies examined and the euro (i.e. depreciation of the euro against the other currencies) would have produced an overall effect on pre tax profit of -(cid:219)7 million ((cid:219)24 million at December 31, 2009) and an overall effect on shareholders’ equity, before related tax effects, of -(cid:219)328 million (-(cid:219)219 million at December 31, 2009). Meanwhile, a negative variation in exchange rates between the foreign currencies examined and the euro (i.e. appreciation of the euro against the other currencies) would have produced an overall effect on pre tax profit of (cid:219)27 million ((cid:219)47 million at December 31, 2009) and an overall effect on shareholders’ equity, before related tax effects, of (cid:219)333 million ((cid:219)246 million at December 31, 2009). The increase (decrease) with respect to the previous year is essentially due to the currency exchange rates on the two reference dates and to variations in the assets and liabilities exposed to exchange rate fluctuations.

To reduce this risk, Interest Rate Swaps (IRS) are entered into. Interest Rate Swaps are evaluated at fair value by the Treasury Department of Eni SpA on the basis of market prices provided by specialised sources. Planning, coordination and management of this activity at Group level is the responsibility of the Treasury Department. To measure sensitivity to interest rate risk, a sensitivity analysis was performed. The analysis calculated the effect on the income statement and shareholders’ equity of hypothetical positive and negative variations of 10% in interest rates. The analysis was performed for all relevant financial assets and liabilities exposed to interest rate fluctuations and regarded in particular the following items: - interest rate derivatives; - cash and cash equivalents; - short and long-term financial liabilities. For interest rate derivatives, the sensitivity analysis on fair value was conducted by comparing the interest rate conditions (fixed and variable rate) underlying the contract and used to calculate future interest rate differentials with discount curves for variable interest rates on the basis of year end interest rates subjected to hypothetical positive and negative changes of 10%, with the resulting changes weighted on the basis of the notional amounts. For cash and cash equivalents, the analysis used the average balance for the year and the average rate of return for the year, while for short and long-term financial liabilities, the average exposure for the year and the average interest rate were considered. A positive variation in interest rates would have produced an overall effect on pre tax profit of -(cid:219)5 million (-(cid:219)6 million at December 31, 2009) and an overall effect on shareholders’ equity, before related tax effects of -(cid:219)5 million (-(cid:219)5 million at December 31, 2009). A negative variation in interest rates would have produced an overall effect on pre tax profit of (cid:219)5 million ((cid:219)6 million at December 31, 2009) and an overall effect on shareholders’ equity, before related tax effects of (cid:219)5 million ((cid:219)5 million at December 31, 2009). The increase (decrease) with respect to the previous year is essentially due to the interest rates on the two reference dates and to variations in the assets and liabilities exposed to interest rate fluctuations. The table below shows the balance sheet and income statement effects of the sensitivity analysis. 80 Saipem Annual Report / Notes to the consolidated financial statements 2009 2010 +10% -10% +10% -10% Income statement - 1 (5) (2) (6) Shareholders’ equity 1 1 (5) (2) (5) Income statement - (1) 5 2 6 Shareholders’ equity (1) (1) 5 2 5 Income Shareholders’ equity - 1 (2) (4) (5) statement - 1 (2) (4) (5) Income Shareholders’ equity - (1) 2 4 5 statement - (1) 2 4 5 ((cid:219) million) Derivatives Cash and cash equivalents Short-term debt Medium/long-term debt Total Commodity risk Saipem’s results are affected by changes in the prices of oil products (fuel oil, lubricants, bunker oil, etc.) and raw materials, since they represent associated costs in the running of vessels, offices and yards and the implementation of projects and investments. In order to reduce its commodity risk, in addition to adopting solutions at a commercial level, Saipem also trades over the counter derivatives (swap and bullet swaps in particular) whose underlying commodities are oil products (mainly gasoil and naphtha) through Eni Trading & Shipping (ETS) on the organised markets of ICE and NYMEX where the relevant physical commodity market is well correlated to the financial market and is price efficient. Such derivatives are evaluated at fair value by the Treasury Department of Eni SpA on the basis of market prices provided by specialised sources. With regard to commodity risk hedging instruments, a 10% positive variation in the underlying rates would have produced an overall effect on pre tax profit of (cid:219)0.1 million ((cid:219)0.1 million at December 31, 2009) and an overall effect on shareholders’ equity, before related tax effects, of (cid:219)5 million ((cid:219)6 million at December 31, 2009). A 10% negative variation in the underlying rates would have produced an overall effect on pre tax profit of -(cid:219)0.1 million (-(cid:219)0.1 million at December 31, 2009) and an overall effect on shareholders’ equity, before related tax effects, of -(cid:219)5 million (-(cid:219)6 million at December 31, 2009). The increase (decrease) with respect to the previous year is essentially due to the differences between the prices used in calculating the fair value of the instrument at the two reference dates. CREDIT RISK Credit risk represents Saipem’s exposure to potential losses deriving from non-performance of counterparties. Credit risk arising in the normal course of operations is monitored by the business units and the administration department on the basis of standard procedures and periodic reporting. For financial investments and the use of financial instruments, including derivatives, companies adopt the guidelines issued by the Treasury Department of Saipem. The critical situation that has developed on the financial markets has led to additional preventative measures to avoid the concentration of risk/assets being adopted. In addition, operations involving derivative instruments are being managed with a greater degree of selectivity. The company did not have any significant cases of non performance by counterparties. As at December 31, 2010, Saipem had no significant concentrations of credit risk. LIQUIDITY RISK Liquidity risk is the risk that suitable sources of funding for the Group may not be available (funding liquidity risk), or that the Group is unable to sell its assets on the market place (asset liquidity risk), making it unable to meet its short-term finance requirements and settle obligations. Such a situation would negatively impact the Group’s results as it would result in the Company incurring higher borrowing expenses to meet its obligations or under the worst of conditions the inability of the Company to continue as a going concern. As part of its financial planning process, Saipem manages liquidity risk by targeting a capital structure that guarantees a level of liquidity adequate for the Groups’ needs, optimising the opportunity cost of maintaining liquidity reserves and achieving an optimal profile in terms of maturity and composition of debt in accordance with business objectives and prescribed limits. At present, in spite of the current market conditions, Saipem believes it has access to sufficient funding and borrowing facilities to meet currently foreseeable requirements, thanks to a use of credit lines that is both flexible and targeted to meet business needs. The liquidity management policies used have the objective of ensuring both adequate funding to meet short-term requirements and obligations and a sufficient level of operating flexibility to fund Saipem’s development plans, while maintaining an adequate finance structure in terms of debt composition and maturity. At December 31, 2010, Saipem maintained unused borrowing facilities of (cid:219)1,834 million. In addition, Eni SpA provides lines of credit Saipem SpA under Eni Group centralised treasury arrangements. These facilities were under interest rates that reflected market conditions. Fees charged for unused facilities were not significant.

The use of these estimates and assumptions affects the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates given the uncertainty surrounding the assumptions and conditions upon which the estimates are based. Summarised below are those accounting estimates used in the preparation of consolidated financial statements and interim reports that are considered critical because they require management to make a large number of subjective judgments, assumptions and estimates regarding matters that are inherently uncertain. Changes in the conditions underlying such judgments, assumptions and estimates may have a significant affect on future results. CONTRACT WORK IN PROGRESS Contract work in progress for long-term contracts – for which estimates necessarily have a significant subjective component – are measured on the basis of estimated revenues and costs over the full life of the contract. Contract work in progress includes extra revenues from additional works following modifications to the original contracts if their realisation is probable and the amount can be reliably estimated. IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS Saipem assesses its tangible and intangible assets for possible impairment if there are events or changes in circumstances that indicate the carrying values of the assets are not recoverable. Impairment is recognised in the event of significant permanent changes in the outlook for the market segment in which the asset is used. Determining as to whether and how much an asset is impaired involves management estimates on complex and highly uncertain factors, such as future market performances, the effects of inflation and technological improvements on operating costs, and the outlook for global or regional market supply and demand conditions. The amount of an impairment loss is determined by comparing the book value of an asset with its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the use of the asset, net of disposal costs. The expected future cash flows used for impairment reviews are based on judgmental assessments of future variables such as prices, costs, demand growth rate and production volumes, considering the information available at the date of the review and are discounted at a rate that reflects the risk inherent in the relevant activity. Goodwill and other intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are not amortised. The recoverability of their carrying value is reviewed at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Goodwill is tested for impairment at cash generating unit level, i.e. the smallest aggregate on which the company, directly or indirectly, evaluates the return on the capital expenditure. If the recoverable amount of a cash generating unit is lower than the carrying Saipem Annual Report / Notes to the consolidated financial statements amount, goodwill attributed to that cash generating unit is impaired up to that difference; if the carrying amount of goodwill is less than the amount of impairment, assets of the cash generating unit are impaired on a pro- rata basis for the residual difference. BUSINESS COMBINATION Accounting for business combinations requires the allocation of the purchase price to the various assets and liabilities of the acquired business at their respective fair values. Any positive residual difference is recognised as goodwill. Negative residual differences are credited to the income statement. Management uses all available information to make these fair value determinations and, for major business acquisitions, typically engages an independent appraisal firm to assist in the fair value determination of the acquired assets and liabilities. CONTINGENCIES Saipem records provisions for contingencies primarily in relation to employee benefits, litigation and tax issues. Determining appropriate amounts for provisions is a complex estimation process that includes subjective judgements. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS Post-employment benefit plans arising from defined benefit plans are evaluated with reference to uncertain events and based upon actuarial assumptions including, inter alia, discount rates, expected rates of return on plan assets, expected rates of salary increases, medical cost trend rates, estimated retirement dates and mortality rates. The significant assumptions used to account for pensions and other post-retirement benefits are determined as follows: (i) discount and inflation rates reflect the rates at which the benefits could be effectively settled, taking into account the duration of the obligation. Indicators used in selecting the discount rate include rates of annuity contracts and rates of return on high-quality fixed-income investments (such as government bonds). The inflation rates reflect market conditions observed country by country; (ii) the future salary levels of the individual employees are determined including an estimate of future changes attributed to general price levels (consistent with inflation rate assumptions), productivity, seniority and promotion; (iii) healthcare cost trend assumptions reflect an estimate of the actual future changes in the cost of the healthcare related benefits provided to the plan participants and are based on past and current healthcare cost trends including healthcare inflation, changes in healthcare utilisation, and changes in health status of the participants; (iv) demographic assumptions such as mortality, disability and turnover reflect the best estimate of these future events for the individual employees involved, based principally on available actuarial data; and (v) determination of the expected rates of return on assets is made through compound averaging. For each plan, the distribution of investments among bonds, equities and cash and their specific average expected rate of return is taken into account. Differences between expected and actual costs and between the expected return and the actual return on plan assets routinely occur and are called actuarial gains and losses. Saipem employs the corridor method to amortise its actuarial gains and losses. This method amortises on a pro- rata basis the net cumulative unrecognised actuarial gains and losses at the end of the previous reporting period that exceed 10% of the greater of (i) the present value of the defined benefit obligation; and (ii) the fair value 83 Saipem Annual Report / Notes to the consolidated financial statements of plan assets, over the average expected remaining working lives of the employees participating in the plan. Additionally, obligations for other long-term benefits are determined by adopting actuarial assumptions. The effect of changes in actuarial assumptions or a change in the characteristics of the benefit are taken to profit or loss in their entirety. Recent accounting principles Accounting standards and interpretations issued by IASB/IFRIC and endorsed by the European Union Commission Regulation No. 632/2010 of July 19, 2010 endorsed the new version of IAS 24 ‘Related Party Disclosures’, which: (i) broadens the definition of a related party; (ii) for transactions between entities related to the same Government, allows quantitative disclosures to be limited to significant transactions. The revised standard shall be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011. Commission Regulation No. 149/2011 of February 18, 2011 adopted the document ‘Improvements to IFRS’s’, which essentially consists of changes of a technical and editorial nature to existing standards and interpretations. The provisions come into effect starting from 2011. Accounting standards and interpretations issued by IASB/IFRIC but not yet endorsed by the European Union On November 12, 2009, IASB issued IFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’, which changes the recognition and measurement of financial assets and their classification in the financial statements. The new provisions require, inter alia, a classification and measurement model of financial assets based exclusively on the following categories: (i) financial assets measured at amortised cost; (ii) financial assets measured at fair value. The new provisions also require investments in equity instruments, other than subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities or associates, to be measured at fair value with value changes recognised in profit or loss. If these investments are not held for trading purposes, subsequent changes in the fair value can be recognised in other comprehensive income, with only dividend income recognised in profit or loss. Amounts taken to other comprehensive income shall not be subsequently transferred to profit or loss, even at disposal. On October 28, 2010, the IASB reissued IFRS 9 to incorporate classification and measurement criteria for financial liabilities. In particular, the new version of IFRS 9 requires changes in the fair value of financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss arising from the entity’s own credit risk to be presented in other comprehensive income. Such changes may however be recognised in profit or loss in order to avoid an accounting mismatch with related assets. IFRS 9 provisions shall be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. On October 7, 2010, the IASB issued Amendment to IFRS 7 ‘Disclosures - Transfers of financial assets’, which introduced new disclosure requirements for financial instruments. The amendment, which specifically regards the transfer of financial assets, requires a description of the risks associated with the transferred assets to which a Company is exposed and also requires specific disclosures if a substantial proportion of total transfer activity takes place in the closing days of a reporting period. The new provisions shall be applied for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2011 (for Saipem: 2012 financial statements). Saipem is currently reviewing these new IFRS and interpretations to determine the likely impact on the Group’s results. 84 Saipem Annual Report / Notes to the consolidated financial statements Scope of consolidation at December 31, 2010 Consolidating company y n a p m o C e c i f f o d e r e t s i g e R y c n e r r u C l a t i p a c e r a h S s r e d l o h e r a h S Saipem SpA San Donato Milanese EUR 441,410,900 Eni Corporate SpA Saipem SpA Third parties Subsidiaries Italy y n a p m o C Consorzio Sapro Saipem Energy Services SpA Servizi Energia Italia SpA Snamprogetti Chiyoda sas di Saipem SpA Outside Italy e c i f f o d e r e t s i g e R San Giovanni Teatino San Donato Milanese Marghera San Donato Milanese y c n e r r u C EUR EUR EUR EUR l a t i p a c e r a h S s r e d l o h e r a h S 10,329 9,020,216 291,000 10,000 Saipem SpA Third parties Saipem SpA Saipem Energy Services SpA Saipem SpA Third parties Andromeda Consultoria Tecnica e Rapresentações Ltda Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) Boscongo sa BOS Investment Ltd BOS-UIE Ltd Construction Saipem Canada Inc Ersai Caspian Contractor Llc Ersai Marine Llc (***) ERS - Equipment Rental & Services BV Global Petroprojects Services AG Pointe Noire (Congo) Hertfordshire (United Kingdom) Hertfordshire (United Kingdom) Montreal (Canada) Almaty (Kazakhstan) Almaty (Kazakhstan) Amsterdam (Netherlands) Zurich (Switzerland) Hazira Cryogenic Engineering & Construction Management Private Ltd Hazira Marine Engineering & Construction Management Private Ltd Mumbai (India) Mumbai (India) BRL 322,350,000 XAF 1,597,805,000 Saipem SpA Snamprogetti Netherlands BV Saipem sa Third parties 700,000 Saipem sa GBP GBP CAD KZT KZT EUR CHF INR INR 600,600 BOS Investment Ltd 100.00 100.00 1,000 Snamprogetti Canada Inc 100.00 100.00 1,105,930,000 Saipem International BV Third parties 1,000,000 Ersai Caspian Contractor Llc 50.00 50.00 50.00 100.00 90,760 Saipem International BV 100.00 100.00 5,000,000 Saipem International BV 100.00 100.00 500,000 100,000 Saipem sa Third parties Saipem sa Third parties 55.00 45.00 99.99 0.01 (*) (***) F.C. = full consolidation, P.C. = proportionate consolidation, E.M. = equity method, Co. = cost method Inactive throughout the year. 85 d l e h % 42.92 0.84 56.24 d l e h % 51.00 49.00 100.00 100.00 99.90 0.10 99.00 1.00 99.99 0.01 100.00 % n o i t a d i l o s n o c ’ s m e p a S i % n o i t a d i l o s n o c ’ s m e p a S i n o i t a d i l o s n o c f o g n i t n u o c c a r o ) * ( e l p i c n i r p d o h t e M n o i t a d i l o s n o c f o g n i t n u o c c a r o ) * ( e l p i c n i r p d o h t e M Co.

These receivables are primarily due from high credit quality counterparties. Financing receivables for operating purposes related to the receivable held by Saipem SpA from the CEPAV Due Consortium which was previously recorded under financing receivables for operating purposes. The reclassification was carried out in view of the soon-to-be finalised supplemental agreement between CEPAV Due and R.F.I. SpA to the 1991 Agreement relating to the construction of the Treviglio-Brescia section of the High Speed Train link. Financing receivables for non-operating purposes of (cid:219)20 million ((cid:219)68 million at December 31, 2009) mainly related to the receivable of (cid:219)17 million held by Saipem America Inc from Eni Finance USA for the financial loan.

The fair value of derivative instruments was determined using valuation models commonly used in the financial sector and based on year-end market data (exchange and interest rates). The fair value of forward contracts (forward outrights and currency swaps) was determined by comparing the net present value at contractual conditions of forward contracts outstanding at December 31, 2010, with their present value recalculated at year-end market conditions. The model used is the Net Present Value model, which is based on the forward contract exchange rate, the year end exchange rate and the respective forward interest rate curves. The fair value of derivative contracts by type is provided in the following table: ((cid:219) million) 1) Derivative contracts qualified for hedge accounting: - interest rate derivatives - forward currency contracts (Spot component) . purchase . sale Total - forward currency contracts (Forward component) . purchase . sale Total - forward commodity contracts (Forward component) . purchase Total Total derivative contracts qualified for hedge accounting 2) Derivative contracts not qualified for hedge accounting: - interest rate derivatives - forward currency contracts (Spot component) . purchase . sale Total - forward currency contracts (Forward component) . purchase . sale Total Total derivative contracts not qualified for hedge accounting Total Assets Dec. 31, 2009 Assets Dec. 31, 2010 Fair value Commitments Fair value Commitments purchase sale purchase sale 36 94 130 - (3) (3) - - 127 19 13 32 - - 32 32 159 1,275 1,880 - 1,275 1,880 1,000 1,000 2,275 190 190 2,070 16 118 134 - (9) (9) 1 1 126 4 26 30 (1) (1) 29 155 673 4,204 7 680 4,204 246 246 926 1,505 1,505 5,709 97 Saipem Annual Report / Notes to the consolidated financial statements Derivatives designated as cash flow hedges related to forward purchase and sale transactions (forward outrights and currency swaps). The cash flows and the income statement impact of hedged highly probably forecast transactions at December 31, 2010 are expected to occur up until 2012. During 2010, there were no significant cases of hedged items being no longer considered highly probable. The fair value of derivative assets qualified for hedge accounting at December 31, 2010 was equal to (cid:219)126 million ((cid:219)127 million at December 2009). The effective portion (spot component) of fair value movements in these derivatives ((cid:219)134 million) was deferred in a hedging reserve in equity ((cid:219)128 million) and recorded as finance income and expenses ((cid:219)6 million), while the forward component, amounting to (cid:219)8 million, was recognised as finance expense. The fair value of derivative liabilities qualified for hedge accounting at December 31, 2010, analysed in Note 19 ‘Other current liabilities’ and Note 24 ‘Other non-current liabilities’, was equal to (cid:219)95 million ((cid:219)158 million at December 31, 2009). The spot component of fair value movements in these derivatives ((cid:219)77 million) was deferred offsetting in a hedging reserve in equity ((cid:219)71 million) and recorded as finance income and expenses ((cid:219)6 million), while the forward component, amounting to (cid:219)18 million, was recognised as finance expense. During the year, operating revenues and expenses were adjusted by a net negative amount of (cid:219)35 million to reflect the effects of hedging. Another approximately (cid:219)20 million was recorded as an increase in the tangible assets to which it related. Other assets at December 31, 2010 amounted to (cid:219)120 million, representing an increase by (cid:219)23 million on the previous year and consisted of: prepayments of (cid:219)80 million ((cid:219)55 million at December 31, 2009), insurance premiums of (cid:219)18 million ((cid:219)14 million at December 31, 2009), costs of office leases of (cid:219)4 million ((cid:219)9 million at December 31, 2009) and other assets of (cid:219)18 million ((cid:219)19 million at December 31, 2009).

Exchange rate differences due to the translation of financial statements prepared in currencies other than the euro, amounting to positive (cid:219)90 million, mainly related to companies whose presentation currency is the US dollar. Fully depreciated property, plant and equipment that is still in use mainly consisted of project-specific equipment which has been fully depreciated over the life of the project. During the year, no government grants were recorded as a decrease of the carrying value of property, plant and equipment. At December 31, 2010, all property, plant and equipment was free from pledges, mortgages and/or other obligations.

The main amortisation rates used are as follows: (%) Development costs Industrial patents and intellectual property rights Concessions, licenses, trademarks and similar (included in ‘industrial patents’) Other intangible assets 20.00 - 20.00 6.66 - 7.50 20.00 - 20.00 20.00 - 33.00 Goodwill of (cid:219)733 million related to the difference between the purchase price, inclusive of related costs, and the shareholders’ equity of Saipem sa ((cid:219)689 million), Sofresid sa ((cid:219)21 million) and the Moss Maritime Group ((cid:219)15 million) on the date that control was acquired. For impairment purposes, goodwill has been allocated to the following cash generating units: Dec. 31, 2009 416 317 733 Dec. 31, 2010 415 318 733 ((cid:219) million) Offshore Onshore Total 100 Saipem Annual Report / Notes to the consolidated financial statements The changes in the cash generating units related, in the Onshore sector, to the foreign exchange difference (Moss Maritime Group) and, in the Offshore sector, to the disposal of a business unit of Saipem Energy Services SpA. The recoverable amount of the two cash generating units was determined based on value in use, calculated by discounting the future cash flows expected to result from the use of each CGU. The expected future cash flows for the explicit forecast period of four years were derived from Saipem’s 2011-2014 Strategic Plan, which was approved by top management in February 2011. The forecast cash flows based on the plan assume that the major programme of investments currently underway will be completed on time and within budget and that the backlog of orders at December 31, 2010 will not be affected by cancellations or renegotiations. Value in use was calculated by discounting expected future post tax cash flows at a rate of 9.0% (up 0.5% on the previous year). The terminal value (i.e. for subsequent years beyond the plan horizon) was estimated using a perpetual growth rate of 2% applied to an average normalised terminal cash flow. Assumptions were based on past experience and took into account current interest rates, business specific risks and expected long-term growth for the sectors. Post tax cash flows and discounting rates are used as they result in values similar to those resulting from a pre-tax valuation. The table below shows the amounts by which the recoverable amounts of the Offshore and Onshore cash generating units exceed their carrying amounts, including allocated goodwill. ((cid:219) million) Goodwill Amount by which recoverable amount exceeds carrying amount e r o h s f f O 415 4,338 e r o h s n O 318 3,663 l a t o T 733 8,001 The key assumptions adopted for assessing the recoverable amount of the cash generating units exceeding its carrying amount referred to operating results (a combination of various factors, e.g. sales volumes, service prices, project profit margins, cost structure), the discount rate and the growth rates adopted to determine the terminal value. The following changes in each of the assumptions, ceteris paribus, would cause the excess of the recoverable amount of the Offshore cash generating unit over its carrying amount, including the allocated portion of goodwill, to be reduced to zero: - decrease of 55% in the operating result; - use of a discount rate of 18%; - negative real growth rate. Changes in each of the assumptions, ceteris paribus, that would cause the excess of the recoverable amount of the Onshore cash generating unit over its carrying amount, including the allocated portion of goodwill, to be reduced to zero are greater than those of the Offshore cash generating units described above.

The fair value of forward contracts (forward outrights and currency swaps) was determined by comparing the net present value at contractual conditions of forward contracts outstanding at December 31, 2010, with their present value recalculated at year-end market conditions. The model used is the Net Present Value model, which is based on the forward contract exchange rate, the year end exchange rate and the respective forward interest rate curves. A liability of (cid:219)4 million ((cid:219)12 million at December 31, 2009), relating to the fair value of an interest rate swap, has been recorded under Note 15 ‘Short- term debt’. The fair value of interest rate swaps was determined by comparing the net present value at contractual conditions of swaps outstanding at December 31, 2010, with their present value recalculated at year-end market conditions. The model used is the Net Present Value model, which is based on EUR forward interest rates. 106 Saipem Annual Report / Notes to the consolidated financial statements The fair value of derivative contracts by type is provided in the following table: ((cid:219) million) 1) Derivative contracts qualified for hedge accounting: - interest rate derivatives . interest rate swaps - forward currency contracts (Spot component) . purchase . sale Total - forward currency contracts (Forward component) . purchase . sale Total - forward commodity contracts (Forward component) . purchase Total Total derivative contracts qualified for hedge accounting 2) Derivative contracts not qualified for hedge accounting: - interest rate derivatives . interest rate swaps - forward currency contracts (Spot component) . purchase . sale Total - forward currency contracts (Forward component) . purchase . sale Total - forward commodity contracts (Forward component) . purchase . sale - other derivative contracts Total Total derivative contracts not qualified for hedge accounting Total Liabilities Dec. 31, 2009 Liabilities Dec. 31, 2010 Fair value Commitments Fair value Commitments purchase sale purchase sale 12 43 71 114 - - - 32 32 158 - 13 39 52 - - - - - 3 3 55 213 400 788 2,359 - 58 1,246 2,359 388 1,409 - 388 1,634 19 1,428 3,787 4 36 37 73 (3) 1 (2) 20 20 95 - 34 10 44 (1) - (1) 6 1 - 7 50 145 200 1,573 - 45 1,818 1,292 1,292 1,466 462 13 1,479 3,297 - 462 1,754 For a comprehensive analysis of the fair value of hedging derivatives, see Note 7 ‘Other current assets’.

Provisions for indemnities upon termination of employment primarily related to the provisions accrued by Italian companies for employee termination indemnities (‘TFR’), determined using actuarial techniques and regulated by Article 2120 of the Italian Civil Code. The indemnity is paid upon retirement as a lump sum payment, whose amount corresponds to the total of the provisions accrued during the employees’ service period based on payroll costs as revalued until retirement. As a result of the provisions contained in the Finance Act for 2007 and related legislation – which came into effect on January 1, 2007 – employees had until June 30, 2007 to decide whether to assign amounts already accrued and future benefits to a private pension fund or to the fund managed by the National Social Security Agency, Inps. For companies with less than 50 employees it was possible to continue the scheme as in previous years. The allocation of future TFR provisions to private pension funds or to the Inps fund meant that these amounts would be classified as costs to provide benefits under a defined contribution plan. Past amounts accrued for post-retirement indemnities under the Italian TFR regime continue to represent costs to provide benefits under a defined benefit plan and must be assessed based on actuarial assumptions. Following this change in regime, which occurred in 2007, the existing provision for Italian employees was reassessed to take account of the curtailment due to reduced future obligations reflecting the exclusion of future salaries and relevant increases from actuarial calculations. Pension funds concern: - defined benefit plans of foreign companies located, primarily, in France, the United Kingdom and Norway; - pension provisions and similar obligations for personnel employed abroad, to whom local legislation applies. Benefits consist of a return on capital determined on the basis of length of service and compensation paid in the last year of service or average annual compensation paid in a specific period preceding retirement. Liabilities and costs related to the supplementary medical reserve for Eni managers (FISDE) are calculated on the basis of the contributions paid by the company for retired managers. The deferred cash incentive scheme comprises estimated variable remuneration related to company performance to be paid out to senior managers who achieve their individual targets. The long-term monetary scheme replaces the stock option plan. Monetary incentives may be paid out after a three-year vesting period depending on the achievement of performance targets. Jubilee awards are benefits due following the attainment of a minimum period of service and, with regard to the Italian companies, they consist of remuneration in kind.

Tax losses Under Italian tax law, tax losses can be carried forward for up to five subsequent years, except for losses incurred in the first three years of activity of a company, which can be carried forward without time limit. Tax losses of foreign companies can be carried forward on average for more than five years, while a considerable part can be carried forward without limit. The tax rate applied by foreign Italian subsidiaries to determine the portion of carry- forward tax losses to be utilised averaged out at 23.2%. Tax losses, amounting to (cid:219)356 million ((cid:219)378 million at December 31, 2009), related entirely to foreign companies and can be used in the following periods: ((cid:219) million) 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 After 2015 Without limit Total 114 i s e i r a d i s b u s n a i l a t I - - - - - - - - i s e i r a d i s b u s n g i e r o F - - 58 1 - 64 233 356 Saipem Annual Report / Notes to the consolidated financial statements Other non-current liabilities 24 Other non-current liabilities of (cid:219)10 million ((cid:219)28 million at December 31, 2009) were as follows: ((cid:219) million) Fair value of hedging derivatives Trade and other payables Total Dec. 31, 2009 26 2 28 Dec. 31, 2010 9 1 10 (cid:219)8 million of the fair value of hedging derivatives related to commodity contracts entered into by Saipem SpA, with maturities in 2012.

Legal reserve At December 31, 2010, the legal reserve stood at (cid:219)88 million. This represents the portion of profits, accrued as per Article 2430 of the Italian Civil Code, that cannot be distributed as dividends. The reserve remained unchanged, having reached a fifth of share capital. Cash flow hedge reserve This reserve showed a positive balance at year end of (cid:219)3 million (positive balance of (cid:219)77 million at December 31, 2009) and related to the fair value valuation of interest rate swaps, commodity hedges and the spot component of foreign currency hedging contracts at December 31, 2010. The reserve is shown net of tax of (cid:219)1 million ((cid:219)20 million at December 31, 2009).

Reserve for treasury shares Due to the completion of the stock option scheme, the reserve was reduced to zero during the year via the reclassification of (cid:219)17 million to ‘Retained earnings’. Other reserves Other reserves amounted to (cid:219)7 million and were unchanged from December 31, 2009. They related to the allocation of part of 2009 net profit, pursuant to Article 2426, 8-bis of the Italian Civil Code.

(c) The income statement effects were recognised in ‘Finance income (expense)’ ((cid:219)9 million) (currency translation gains (losses) arising from adjustments to the year-end exchange rate). (d) The income statement effects were recognised in ‘Net sales from operations’ and ‘Purchases, services and other’ ((cid:219)35 million) and in ‘Finance income (expense)’ ((cid:219)10 million). FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Below, financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the balance sheet are classified using the ‘fair value hierarchy’ based on the significance of the inputs used in the measurement process. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels: a) b) Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); c) Level 3: inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data. Financial instruments measured at fair value at December 31, 2010 were classified as follows: ((cid:219) million) Held for trading financial assets (liabilities): - non-hedging derivatives Financial assets measured at fair value under the fair value option: - investments Net hedging derivative assets (liabilities) Total Dec. 31, 2010 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 - 2 - 2 (21) - 31 10 - - - - Total (21) 2 31 12 In the normal course of its business, Saipem uses various types of financial instrument. The information regarding their fair value is as follows. NOTIONAL AMOUNTS OF DERIVATIVES The notional amount of a derivative is an amount used as a reference to calculate the contractual payments to be exchanged. This amount may be expressed in terms of a monetary or physical quantity (e.g. barrels, tonnes, etc.). Monetary quantities in foreign currencies are converted into euros at the exchange rate prevailing at year end. Notional amounts of derivatives do not represent the amounts actually exchanged between the parties and do not therefore constitute a measure of Saipem’s credit risk exposure. This is instead represented by the positive fair value of derivative contracts at year end. 118 Saipem Annual Report / Notes to the consolidated financial statements INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT Saipem only enters into interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk.

Based on the information available to date, and taking into account the provisions made for contingencies, Saipem believes that the foregoing will not have significant adverse effects on its consolidated financial statements. A brief summary of the most important ongoing proceedings is provided hereafter. Unless otherwise stated, no provision has been made in relation to these proceedings because Saipem deems an adverse outcome to be unlikely. CEPAV (Consorzio Eni per l’Alta Velocità) Due With regard to the arbitration proceedings brought by the CEPAV Due Consortium (in which Saipem holds a 52% stake) against ‘Treno ad Alta Velocità’ (High Speed Train, hereafter TAV) to recover damages for delays attributable to TAV, which began on December 28, 2000, the Arbitration Panel recognised the consortium’s right to damages with a partial award issued on January 4, 2007. TAV appealed against the partial award before the Rome Court of Appeal, pleading the previous termination of the relevant agreement. Decree Law No. 7 of January 31, 2007 – subsequently converted into law – did in fact revoke the concession awarded by Ferrovie dello Stato to TAV SpA for the construction of the Milan-Verona line, and this revocation would have also affected the agreement that CEPAV Due signed with TAV SpA on October 15, 1991, leading to its termination. The judgment on appeal is currently ongoing. The hearing of the conclusions has been scheduled for January 28, 2011. The first proceeding was concluded on February 23, 2010 with the delivery of the arbitration award, which ordered TAV to pay to CEPAV Due Consortium an amount of (cid:219)44,176,787 plus legal interest and compensation for inflation accrued from the date of the request for arbitration until the date of payment of damages. The court also ordered TAV to pay an additional (cid:219)1,115,000 plus interest and compensation for inflation accrued from October 30, 2000 until the date of payment of damages. In February 2007, after Decree Law No. 7 of January 31, 2007 entered into force, the CEPAV Due Consortium notified TAV of a second request for arbitration aimed at recovering damages for breaches of contract committed by TAV before the issue of the decree and for damages resulting from the revocation of the agreement. TAV has rejected all liability. Subsequent to the commencement of this second arbitration proceeding, Article 12 of Decree Law No. 112 of June 25, 2008, converted into Law No. 133 of August 6, 2008, provided for the ‘Annulment of the revocation of the TAV concessions’ and for the continuation without interruption of the agreement signed by CEPAV Due with TAV SpA on October 15, 1991, with RFI (Rete Ferroviaria Italiana) SpA. The arbitration proceeding is continuing to determine the damages suffered by the Consortium. The Arbitration Panel scheduled a hearing for September 22, 2009 for the appointment of a court-appointed expert, but this hearing was postponed until November 23, 2009. At the November 23 hearing, the Arbitration Panel agreed to the request of both parties to suspend the decision with regard to the appointment of the court-appointed expert and thus suspended the proceeding in view of the fact that talks were due to take place to reach a settlement in connection with both the concluded arbitration proceeding and the pending one. The intention of the parties is to sign a possible settlement when finalising the supplemental agreement to the 1991 Agreement relating to the construction of the Treviglio-Brescia section of the High Speed Train link. CEPAV (Consorzio Eni per l’Alta Velocità) Uno - TAV SpA The CEPAV Uno Consortium (Eni Consortium for the High-Speed Railway Line), consisting of Saipem SpA having a 50.36% stake; Consorzio Cooperative Costruzioni - CCC, a 21.34% stake; Grandi Lavori - Fincosit and Impresa Pizzarotti & C a 14.15% stake each, signed a contract with TAV SpA on October 15, 1991 and, subsequently, a supplemental contract on August 3, 2000 and an addendum on June 27, 2003, for the construction of the Milan-Bologna high- speed railway line. These agreements were also signed by Eni SpA, acting as guarantor, to ensure the Consortium’s timely and complete fulfilment of all the obligations included in the contract, the subsequent supplemental contract and addendum as well as any ensuing addenda/modifications. The Consortium has asked for an extension to the completion dates for the works and additional fees ((cid:219)1,770 million as at December 31, 2007). An attempt by CEPAV Uno and TAV to reach an amicable settlement ended unsuccessfully on March 14, 2006. For this reason, on April 27, 2006, notification of arbitration was sent to TAV. The evidence acquisition phase is currently underway. Following the filing of the report of the court-appointed expert on July 30, 2010, which were partially favourable for the company, at the subsequent hearings, briefs and responses were filed with regard to the preliminary questions. At the next hearing on March 20, 2011, comments on the report of the court-appointed expert are due to be filed. The deadline for the Arbitration Panel to file the arbitration award was originally set for June 29, 2010 and was subsequently extended, for the purpose of acquiring further evidence, to June 12, 2011 and then December 27, 2011. On March 23, 2009, the Arbitration Panel, replying to a specific question submitted to it by one of the parties, issued a partial award which in substance allowed TAV to carry out checks on accounting records including with regard to subcontracts awarded by the Consortium and by contractors. The Consortium, assuming that this partial award was vitiated, summoned TAV on April 8, 2010 in order to challenge the award before the Rome Court of Appeal so as to have it annulled. TSKJ Consortium - Investigations by the U.S., Italian and other overeas Authorities Snamprogetti Netherlands BV has a 25% participation in the TSKJ Consortium companies. The remaining participations are held in equal shares of 25% by Halliburton/KBR, Technip and JGC. Beginning in 1994 the TSKJ Consortium has been involved in the construction of natural gas liquefaction facilities at Bonny Island in Nigeria. Snamprogetti SpA, the holding company of Snamprogetti Netherlands BV, was a wholly owned subsidiary of Eni until February 2006, when an agreement was entered into for the sale of Snamprogetti to Saipem SpA. Snamprogetti was merged into Saipem as of October 1, 2008. As part of the sale of 120 Saipem Annual Report / Notes to the consolidated financial statements Snamprogetti to Saipem, Eni agreed to indemnify Saipem for potential losses resulting from the investigations into the TSKJ matter, including in connection with its subsidiaries. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) and other authorities, including the Public Prosecutor’s office of Milan, have investigated alleged improper payments made by the TSKJ Consortium to certain Nigerian public officials. The proceedings in the U.S.: since June 2004, Saipem/Snamprogetti and Eni have been voluntarily providing information in response to requests by the SEC and the DoJ in connection with the investigations. In February 2009, KBR and its former parent company Halliburton, announced that they had reached a settlement with the SEC and the DoJ with respect to the TSKJ matter, as well as other unspecified matters. KBR/Halliburton pleaded guilty to Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) charges, for the conduct stemming from their involvement in the TSKJ matter and agreed to pay a criminal fine of US $402 million to the DoJ and a civil penalty of US $177 million to the SEC. In a press release issued on June 28, 2010, Technip also announced that they had reached a settlement with the U.S. Authorities under which the company paid a criminal penalty of US $338 million (US $240 million to the DoJ and US $98 million to the SEC) and agreed to retain an independent corporate monitor (selected in agreement with the DoJ) for a two-year period to review the design and implementation of Technip’s system of internal controls. KBR was also required to retain an independent monitor for a period of three years. On July 7, 2010, Snamprogetti Netherlands BV, currently a subsidiary of Saipem and a former indirect subsidiary of Eni, entered into a deferred prosecution agreement with the DoJ. Pursuant to the agreement, the DoJ filed charges against Snamprogetti Netherlands BV for violation of certain provisions of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Eni paid a criminal penalty of US $240 million on behalf of Snamprogetti Netherlands BV. If Snamprogetti Netherlands BV satisfies the terms of the agreement, the charges against it will be dismissed after a period of 2 years (extendable to 3 years). Saipem and Eni have also agreed to guarantee the obligations of Snamprogetti Netherlands BV towards the DoJ. Snamprogetti Netherlands BV and Eni (as parent company and NYSE listed company) have also entered into a consent order with the SEC in which, without admission of liability, they consented to the filing of a complaint and the entry of a final judgment that alleges that Snamprogetti Netherlands BV and Eni violated certain sections of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under the consent order, Eni and Snamprogetti Netherlands BV have jointly agreed to pay the SEC a penalty of US $125 million proportionate to the alleged profit gained. This agreement was also signed in July 2010. In connection with the sale of Snamprogetti to Saipem, Eni agreed to indemnify Saipem for losses resulting from the investigation. Therefore, neither penalty will impact the Saipem consolidated income statement and balance sheet. Snamprogetti Netherlands BV, Saipem and Eni cooperated with the U.S. Authorities’ investigations and have made substantial enhancements to their existing compliance systems. Specifically, on February 10, 2010, Saipem issued a procedure containing new anti-corruption guidelines and principles. The guidelines enhanced the company’s anti-corruption system, which was already in line with international best practices and optimised the compliance system to ensure maximum observance by Saipem and its personnel with the Code of Ethics, Model 231 and national and international anti- corruption laws. Following the adoption of the new procedures, the agreements reached with the U.S. Authorities recognised the soundness of the compliance system and did not require the implementation of any independent compliance monitor unlike for both KBR and Technip and in other similar cases. Saipem and its subsidiaries have an ongoing commitment to achieving continuous improvement in internal compliance. The proceedings in Nigeria: on December 10, 2010, Snamprogetti Netherlands BV entered into a settlement and non-prosecution agreement with the Federal Government of Nigeria to resolve an investigation into the activities of Snamprogetti Netherlands BV, as member of the TSKJ Consortium. The Federal Government had previously filed charges against the TSKJ Consortium and its four shareholders, including Snamprogetti Netherlands BV. Pursuant to the agreement, Snamprogetti Netherlands BV agreed to pay a criminal penalty of US $30 million as well as US $2.5 million as reimbursement for legal costs and expenses incurred by the Nigerian Federal Government, and the legal proceedings were dismissed. As with those imposed by the U.S. Authorities, the penalties were paid by Eni. The Federal Government of Nigeria agreed to dismiss all charges against Snamprogetti Netherlands BV, its parent companies and subsidiaries and to renounce to any civil claims and criminal charges in any jurisdiction. In the agreement, the Nigerian Authorities indicate that the criminal activity with which Snamprogetti Netherlands BV was charged ceased by June 15, 2004. The proceedings in Italy: beginning in 2004, the TSKJ matter has prompted investigations by the Milan Public Prosecutor’s office against unknown persons. Since March 10, 2009, the company received requests to produce documents from the Milan Public Prosecutor’s office. On July 31, 2009, a decree issued by the Judge for Preliminary Investigation at the Court of Milan was served on Saipem SpA (as legal entity incorporating Snamprogetti SpA). The decree scheduled for September 22, 2009 a hearing in camera in relation to proceedings pursuant to Legislative Decree No. 231 of June 8, 2001, under which the Milan Public Prosecutor is investigating Saipem SpA and Eni SpA for liability of legal entities arising from offenses involving international corruption alleged against two former managers of Snamprogetti SpA. The Milan Public Prosecutor requested that Saipem SpA and Eni SpA be debarred from activities involving – directly or indirectly – any agreement with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corp and its subsidiaries. The Milan Public Prosecutor's request for precautionary measures related to TSKJ Consortium practices between 1995 and 2004. In this regard, the Public Prosecutor claimed the inadequacy and violation of the organisational, management and control model adopted to prevent the commission of the alleged offenses by persons subject to direction and supervision. In actual fact, a time of the events under investigation, the company had in place a code of practice and internal procedures based on best practices. Subsequently, the code and internal procedures were improved with a view to achieving the continuous improvement of internal compliance, including with regard to Anti-Corruption. Furthermore, on July 14, 2008, Saipem approved a new Code of Ethics and a new Model 231, which reaffirmed that the belief that one is acting in favour or to the advantage of Saipem can never, in any way, justify – not even in part – any behaviours that conflict with the principles and contents of the Code, while, as mentioned above, in the light of the investigations into the TSKJ matter, Saipem made substantial enhancements to its existing compliance system, in particular issuing a procedure containing new anti-corruption guidelines and principles on February 10, 2010. 121 Saipem Annual Report / Notes to the consolidated financial statements On November 17, 2009, the Judge for the Preliminary Investigation rejected the request for precautionary measures of disqualification filed by the Milan Public Prosecutor. The Milan Public Prosecutor appealed against the decision of the Judge for Preliminary Investigation. On February 9, 2010, the Court of Appeal, exercising the function of judicial review court, handed down its ruling, which dismissed as unfounded the appeal of the Public Prosecutor and upheld the decision of the Judge for the Preliminary Investigation. The Public Prosecutor of Milan filed an appeal against the decision. On September 30, 2010, the appeal was upheld by the Court of Cassation. The Supreme Court decided that the request for precautionary measures was also admissible pursuant to Law 231/2001 in cases of alleged international corruption. The decision relating to the Milan Public Prosecutor's request for precautionary measures returned to the judicial review court, which scheduled a hearing for February 22, 2011. On February 18, 2011, following payment by Snamprogetti Netherlands BV of a deposit of (cid:219)24,530,580, which was also on behalf of Saipem SpA, the Milan Public Prosecutor’s office withdrew its appeal against the decision with which the judge for the preliminary investigation had rejected the request for precautionary measures of disqualification, with regard to both Eni SpA and Saipem SpA. At the hearing of February 22, 2011, the judicial review court acknowledged the withdrawal, and declared the Milan Public Prosecutor’s office appeal inadmissible. The proceeding connected with the request for precautionary measures of disqualification for Saipem SpA and Eni SpA therefore concluded. Following the receipt on November 3, 2010 of the notice of conclusion of investigations, on December 3, 2010, Saipem’s defence counsel received notice of the scheduling of a preliminary hearing, accompanied by a request for committal to trial. The document contains accusations against five former Snamprogetti SpA employees (now Saipem) and against Saipem SpA as a legal person as the company that absorbed Snamprogetti. The accusations regard presumed acts of corruption in Nigeria allegedly committed after July 31, 2004, with the aggravating circumstance of Snamprogetti SpA’s having allegedly obtained significant financial gain (indicated as being not less than US (cid:219)65 million). On January 26, 2011, at the conclusion of the hearings, the Judge for the Preliminary Hearing ordered Saipem SpA and the five former Snamprogetti SpA employees to stand trial at a hearing scheduled for April 5, 2011. In the event of an acquittal, the above-mentioned deposit of (cid:219)24,530,580 will be refunded to Snamprogetti Netherlands BV. The deposit will be confiscated by the authorities in the event of conviction. In connection with the sale of Snamprogetti to Saipem, Eni agreed to indemnify Saipem for a variety of matters, including potential losses resulting from the investigations into the TSKJ matter referred to above. Algeria On February 4, 2011, the Milan Public Prosecutor’s office, through Eni, requested the transmission of documentation pursuant to Article 248 of the Penal Procedure Code relating to the activities of Saipem Group companies in Algeria in connection with an allegation of international corruption. The crime of ‘international corruption’ mentioned in the request is sanctioned by Legislative Decree No. 231 of June 8, 2001. In compliance with the request, the collection of documentation was commenced promptly and on February 16, 2011, the documents collected up until that point were transmitted, with Saipem reserving the right to deposit further documentation when available. Saipem continues to collaborate fully with the Public Prosecutor. EniPower - Enquiries by the Judiciary As part of the inquiries commenced by the Milan Public Prosecutor (criminal proceedings 2460/03 R.G.N.R. pending at the Milan Public Prosecutor’s office) into contracts awarded by EniPower to various companies, Snamprogetti SpA (as engineering and procurement services contractor), together with other parties, were served a notice informing them that they were under investigation, pursuant to Article 25 of Legislative Decree 231/2001. Preliminary investigations ended in August 2007, with a favourable outcome for Snamprogetti, which was not included among the parties still under investigation for whom committals for trial have been requested. Snamprogetti subsequently brought proceedings against the physical and legal persons implicated in transactions relating to the company and reached settlements with a number of parties that requested the application of settlement procedures. Following the conclusion of the preliminary hearing, criminal proceedings continued against former employees of the above companies as well as against employees and managers of a number of their suppliers, pursuant to Legislative Decree No. 231/2001. Eni SpA, EniPower SpA and Snamprogetti SpA (now Saipem SpA) presented themselves as plaintiffs in the preliminary hearing. In the preliminary hearing related to the main proceeding of April 27, 2009, the judge for the preliminary hearing requested that all parties that did not request the application of settlement procedures stand trial, excluding Romeo Franco Musazzi and ABB Instrumentation SpA as a result of the statute of limitations. In the hearing of March 2, 2010, the Court confirmed the admission as plaintiffs of Eni SpA, EniPower SpA and Saipem SpA against the defendants under the provisions of Legislative Decree No. 231/2001. The defendants of the other companies involved were also sued. The proceedings continues and are now at the witness examination phase.

The fair value valuation of options granted in 2003, 2004 and 2005 considers the stock options as European until September 30, 2006, August 23, 2007 and July 27, 2008, respectively, for assignees resident in Italy and until September 30, 2007, August 23, 2008 and July 27, 2009 for those resident in France; subsequently they are considered American. The fair value was therefore calculated using a combination of the Black-Scholes and Merton method for European options and the Roll, Geske and Whaley method for American options. The fair value of 2006, 2007 and 2008 stock option rights was calculated based on the trinomial trees method, which considers the stock as American-type call options with dividend entitlement. The following assumptions were made for the 2008 plan: - for assignees resident in Italy: Risk-free interest rate (%) Expected life (years) Expected volatility (%) Expected dividends (%) - for assignees resident in France: Risk-free interest rate (%) Expected life (years) Expected volatility (%) Expected dividends (%) The cost of stock grant and stock option plans in 2010 amounted to (cid:219)4 million ((cid:219)7 million in 2009). See Note 41 for the compensation of key management personnel, directors and statutory auditors.

The incentive becomes payable after three years at a percentage rate of 0 to 170 based on achievement of EBITDA targets in the three-year reference period approved by the Board of Directors (see the Corporate Governance Report and Shareholding Structure). In the event, during the vesting period, of: (i) consensual employment termination of the beneficiary; (ii) demise of the assignee; (iii) Saipem’s loss of control in the company that employs the assignee; (iv) sale of the company (or branch) that employs the assignee to a non-Group company; the latter or their heirs retain the right to a proportion of the incentive corresponding to the time elapsed between allocation of the basic incentive and the occurrence of the event. In the event of unilateral termination of employment during the vesting period, the incentive is not paid out. The following table shows the basic incentives allocated in 2010 to the Deputy Chairman and CEO, the Managing Director for Business Support and Transversal Activities (Deputy CEO) and to (as an aggregated figure) senior managers with strategic responsibilities.

Basic incentive allocated 443,000 176,000 886,500 Long-term monetary incentive In order to enhance the competitiveness of the overall remuneration package for critical managerial resources (managers occupying positions in which they are directly responsible for Saipem Group results or positions of strategic interest), the Board of Directors approved a new long-term monetary scheme to replace the stock option plan which as of 2009 is no longer implemented. Under the scheme, a basic incentive is allocated each year. The incentive becomes payable after three years at a percentage rate of 0 to 130 based on the average variation from 2009 figures in the ‘adjusted net profit + depreciation and amortisation’ of Saipem over the three-year period compared with a panel of competitors identified by the Board. In the event, during the vesting period, of: (i) consensual employment termination of the assignee; (ii) demise of the assignee; (iii) Saipem’s loss of control in the company that employs the assignee; (iv) sale of the company (or branch) that employs the assignee to a non-Group company; the latter or their heirs retain the right to a proportion of the incentive corresponding to the time elapsed between allocation of the basic incentive and the occurrence of the event. In the event of unilateral termination of employment during the vesting period, the incentive is not paid out.

The average number of ordinary shares outstanding used for the calculation of the basic earnings per share outstanding for 2010 and 2009 was 437,355,728 and 435,388,476, respectively. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing net profit for the year attributable to Saipem’s shareholders by the weighted average of fully-diluted shares issued and outstanding during the year, with the exception of treasury shares and including the number of shares that could potentially be issued. At December 31, 2010, shares that could potentially be issued only regarded shares granted under stock option plans. The average number of shares outstanding used for the calculation of diluted earnings for 2009 and 2010 was 440,302,786 and 439,834,726, respectively. Reconciliation of the average number of shares used for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows: Average number of shares used for the calculation of the basic earnings per share Number of potential shares following stock option plans Number of savings shares convertible into ordinary shares Average number of shares used for the calculation of the diluted earnings per share Saipem’s net profit Basic earnings per share Diluted earnings per share ((cid:219) million) ((cid:219) per share) ((cid:219) per share) Dec. 31, 2009 435,388,476 4,769,014 145,296 440,302,786 732 1.68 1.66 Dec. 31, 2010 437,355,728 2,338,550 140,448 439,834,726 844 1.93 1.92 133 Saipem Annual Report / Notes to the consolidated financial statements 44 Segment information, geographical information and construction contracts Segment information ((cid:219) million) December 31, 2009 Net sales from operations less: intersegment sales Net sales to customers Operating profit Depreciation, amortisation and impairment Net income from investments Capital expenditure Property, plant and equipment Investments Current assets Current liabilities Provisions for contingencies December 31, 2010 Net sales from operations less: intersegment sales Net sales to customers Operating profit Depreciation, amortisation and impairment Net income from investments Capital expenditure Property, plant and equipment Investments Current assets Current liabilities Provisions for contingencies e r o h s f f O 5,824 1,483 4,341 615 195 - 697 2,672 35 2,007 2,287 43 5,990 1,504 4,486 613 219 30 713 3,187 35 1,827 2,104 42 e r o h s n O 5,815 984 4,831 290 48 7 28 144 85 2,823 3,134 82 6,168 932 5,236 370 39 - 25 118 82 2,772 3,076 62 e r o h s f f O g n i l l i r D 804 238 566 192 95 - 690 2,748 - 243 259 2 985 235 750 258 144 - 553 3,202 - 310 307 2 e r o h s n O g n i l l i r D 688 134 554 59 102 - 200 731 - 294 282 1 831 143 688 78 115 - 254 896 - 487 476 - d e t a c o l l a n U - - - - - - - - - 1,420 2,386 72 - - - - - - - - - 1,220 1,602 58 l a t o T 13,131 2,839 10,292 1,156 440 7 1,615 6,295 120 6,787 8,348 200 13,974 2,814 11,160 1,319 517 30 1,545 7,403 117 6,616 7,565 164 Intersegment sales were conducted on an arm’s length basis. 134 Saipem Annual Report / Notes to the consolidated financial statements Geographical information Since Saipem’s business involves the deployment of a fleet on a number of different projects over a single year, it is difficult to allocate assets to a specific geographic area. As a result, certain assets have been deemed not directly attributable. The unallocated part of tangible and intangible assets and capital expenditure related to vessels and their related equipment and goodwill. The unallocated part of current assets pertained to inventories related to vessels. A breakdown of revenues by geographical area is provided in Note 32.

Transactions with related parties entertained by Saipem SpA and/or companies within the scope of consolidation concern mainly the supply of services, the exchange of goods, the provision and utilisation of financial resources and entering into derivative contracts with other Eni SpA subsidiaries or associated companies. These transactions are an integral part of the ordinary day-to-day business and are carried out on an arm’s length basis, i.e. at conditions which would be applied between independent parties. All transactions were carried out for the mutual benefit of the companies involved.
