A robust financial profile characterized by strong free cash flow generation and modest debt levels further underpin the ratings. Relative weaknesses include growing upstream reliance on politically unstable areas, a weak chemicals division and related environmental provisions, and expected increasing domestic gas supply liberalization and a generous dividend policy. The ratings of Eni--which generates about one-third of net profits in Italy and is 30% owned by the state Â– are negatively influenced but are not explicitly linked to those of the Republic of Italy (AA-/Neg/A-1+).</spcred:index_entry_excerpt><spcred:index_entry_primcountry xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">ITA</spcred:index_entry_primcountry><spcred:index_entry_primcusip

Increasing reliance on politically riskier areas for upstream production, notably Africa and Kazakhstan; Increasing wholesale gas supply competition and regulatory pressure in Italy; Weak legacy chemical assets and related environmental exposures; and Fairly aggressive dividend policy. The ratings on Italy-based oil and gas major Eni SpA reflect its diversified international positions in hydrocarbon production and above-peer production growth, complemented by recurring revenues from its strong domestic downstream presence in natural gas.

Standard&amp;Poor's today affirmed its long-term double-'A' corporate credit rating on ENI SpA. Like all other issuers in the European Monetary Union (EMU) zone, ENI's local and foreign currency long-term ratings have converged into a single rating. Standard&amp;Poor's also affirmed its short-term 'A-1'-plus corporate credit rating on the company. At the same time, the outlook was revised to stable from negative, following the revision of the outlook on the Republic of Italy's long-term rating to stable from negative. However, the long-term prospects on ENI's creditworthiness are unchanged, Standard&amp;Poor's said. -- CreditWire</spcred:index_entry_excerpt><spcred:index_entry_primcountry xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">ITA</spcred:index_entry_primcountry><spcred:index_entry_primcusip xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">26874R</spcred:index_entry_primcusip><spcred:index_entry_primgics xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">10102010 101020 1010 10</spcred:index_entry_primgics><spcred:index_entry_primissuer xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">Eni SpA</spcred:index_entry_primissuer><spcred:index_entry_primissuerid xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">321616</spcred:index_entry_primissuerid><spcred:index_entry_primreg xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">EMERGING</spcred:index_entry_primreg><spcred:index_entry_primreg xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">EUROMIDAFR</spcred:index_entry_primreg><spcred:index_entry_primreg xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">LATAMERICA</spcred:index_entry_primreg><spcred:index_entry_primreg xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">USA</spcred:index_entry_primreg><spcred:index_entry_primticker xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">ENI@IM</spcred:index_entry_primticker><spcred:index_entry_reporttype xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">NEWS</spcred:index_entry_reporttype><spcred:index_entry_seccountry xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">ITA</spcred:index_entry_seccountry><spcred:index_entry_seccusip xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">T60259</spcred:index_entry_seccusip><spcred:index_entry_seccusip xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">T6052B</spcred:index_entry_seccusip><spcred:index_entry_seccusip xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">T6031Z</spcred:index_entry_seccusip><spcred:index_entry_seccusip xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">T6247A</spcred:index_entry_seccusip><spcred:index_entry_seccusip xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">465410</spcred:index_entry_seccusip><spcred:index_entry_secissuer xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">Italy (Republic of)</spcred:index_entry_secissuer><spcred:index_entry_secissuerid xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">107135</spcred:index_entry_secissuerid><spcred:index_entry_secreg xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">EMERGING</spcred:index_entry_secreg><spcred:index_entry_secreg xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">LATAMERICA</spcred:index_entry_secreg><spcred:index_entry_secreg xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">USA</spcred:index_entry_secreg><spcred:index_entry_secreg xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">EUROMIDAFR</spcred:index_entry_secreg><spcred:index_entry_secticker xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">2103Z@IM</spcred:index_entry_secticker><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">GLOBISS</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">STRUC</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">CORP</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">FI</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">GOVS</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">SOV</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">ABS</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">CMBS</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">RMBS</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">CDO</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">Metals</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">Gas</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">Energy</spcred:index_entry_sector><category>Credit &amp;

xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">PARIS (Standard&amp;Poor's) June 19, 2008--Standard&amp;Poor's Ratings Services said today that it lowered its long-term corporate credit rating on Italian oil and gas major Eni SpA to 'AA-' from 'AA'. The outlook is stable. At the same time, Standard&amp;Poor's affirmed the 'A-1+' short-term ratings. "The downgrade follows a substantial increase in Eni's gross financial debt, to Â€20 billion at year-end 2007, compared with an average of Â€12.5 billion over 2004-2006," said Standard&amp;Poor's credit analyst Karl Nietvelt. The increase resulted from a string of acquisitions amounting to $16 billion over the last 12 months.
