Eni S.p.A. (E): ANSOFF MATRIX [Dec-2025 Updated]

When you look at the energy majors today, you need to see the dual strategy clearly, and Eni S.p.A.'s 2025 plan is defintely one of the clearest roadmaps out there. They aren't just talking about transition; they are executing a precise, two-front war: maximizing current hydrocarbon cash flow-aiming for a €1 billion proforma adjusted EBIT upside-to fund aggressive growth in new areas like Plenitude's renewables and the launch of their new Carbon Capture and Storage (CCUS) satellite company. This matrix shows you exactly where the money is coming from and where it's going next. Dive in below to see the specific moves.

Eni S.p.A. (E) - Ansoff Matrix: Market Penetration

Market Penetration for Eni S.p.A. (E) centers on maximizing returns and efficiency from its existing asset base and core markets through disciplined execution of its current strategic plan.

The focus on the Global Gas & Power (GGP) segment is sharp, aiming to maximize margins on the existing gas supply portfolio. The proforma adjusted EBIT expectation for the full year 2025 for GGP was specifically increased in the third quarter to more than €1 billion, up from the initial guidance of about €0.8 billion. This reflects successful renegotiations and portfolio optimizations.

To drive organic growth within the existing Upstream portfolio, Eni S.p.A. (E) is committed to achieving an underlying production growth rate of 3-4% per annum through 2030. This momentum was evident in the third quarter of 2025, where oil and natural gas production increased by 6% year-on-year to 1.76 million boe/d. Consequently, the full-year production guidance was raised to the 1.71-1.72 Mboed range, up from the initial 1.7 Mboed forecast.

Rewarding current investors is a key action under this strategy, executed through both dividends and share repurchases. Eni S.p.A. (E) announced an annual dividend for 2025 of €1.05/share, representing a 5% increase compared to 2024. This is complemented by the share buyback program, which was initially set at €1.5 Bln for 2025. Following strong strategic progress and an improved 2025 CFFO outlook, the commitment was raised in the third quarter by €0.3 bln to a total of €1.8 bln. As of November 17, 2025, the company had already purchased 81,621,823 shares under the 2025 program, amounting to 1,190,048 thousand euro.

Operational efficiency is being reinforced through cost management. While the initial target was around €3 billion in cost cuts for the year, the Q3 2025 update indicated a further increase in the target to around €4 billion in cost savings, up from the previous €3 billion target [cite: 3, second search].

Here are the key financial metrics supporting the Market Penetration strategy for 2025:

The Group's expected adjusted CFFO before working capital adjustments was also raised in the third quarter to €12 billion.

The company is also driving value through its satellites, with Enilive expecting proforma adjusted EBITDA around €1bln for the full year, and Plenitude expecting proforma adjusted EBITDA above €1.1bln. Plenitude's installed renewable capacity is set to reach 5.5 GW by the 2025 year-end.

The Q1 2025 Group proforma adjusted EBIT was €3.7 billion.

The company's overall capital spending for the year remains unchanged from previous guidance at €8.5bn.

The Q3 2025 adjusted net profit was $1.4 billion (€1.2 billion).

The distribution policy now targets between 35-40% of annual CFFO via dividends and buyback, up from 30-35% previously.

Eni S.p.A. (E) - Ansoff Matrix: Market Development

You're looking at how Eni S.p.A. is pushing its existing business models into new geographic territories, which is the heart of Market Development in the Ansoff Matrix. This isn't about inventing new products; it's about taking what works and selling it in new places or scaling it up significantly in new markets.

For the gas business, the focus is on securing long-term supply contracts to access new global markets, supporting the ambition to grow the contracted liquefied natural gas (LNG) portfolio to approximately 20 million tons per annum (MTPA) by 2030. This is a step up from previous targets, which aimed for over 18 MTPA by 2026. As of a recent report, Eni had contracted 13 MMt/year to date. The split of marketing focus is set to shift to a 50:50 ratio between the East of Suez region and the Atlantic Basin by the end of this decade.

The energy transition arm, Plenitude, is aggressively pursuing retail expansion across Europe. As of September 2025, Plenitude serves 10 million total customers across six countries: Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Greece, and Slovenia. The near-term goal is to reach over 11 million customers by 2028, with a longer-term aim of 15 million by 2030.

To bolster its presence in key European markets, Plenitude is completing a significant acquisition in France. This involves an agreement to acquire a portfolio of 52 operational renewable energy facilities from Neoen, totaling approximately 760 MW of installed capacity. These assets generate around 1.1 TWh of clean electricity annually. This move directly supports the 2025-2028 Strategic Plan target of reaching 10 GW of installed renewable capacity by the end of 2028. In France specifically, where Plenitude already serves about one million retail customers, this deal strengthens its competitive position.

Entering new Exploration & Production (E&P) regions is being executed through a joint venture (JV) with PETRONAS for selected upstream assets in Indonesia and Malaysia. This 50:50 JV, named NewCo, will manage 19 upstream assets: 14 in Indonesia and five in Malaysia. The venture is set to begin operations with an initial production base of over 300,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d), targeting a sustainable production of 500 kboepd in the medium term. The combined proven (P1) reserves are approximately 3 billion barrels of oil equivalent (boe), with an additional 10 billion boe in exploration upside. The initial phase involves a commitment of US$15 billion over the next five years to develop at least eight new projects (four in Indonesia and four in Malaysia) within the next three years. The parties expect the final transaction to close in 2026.

Here's a quick look at the key metrics for these Market Development initiatives:

The expansion into new E&P regions via the JV structure allows for pooling resources and accessing external financing, which is critical for accelerating project execution. The retail expansion is supported by integrating new generation capacity, such as the 760 MW acquisition, directly into the existing customer base in France, which already numbers around one million.

• Plenitude operates in 6 European countries as of September 2025.
• The French acquisition includes 37 solar photovoltaic plants, 14 wind farms, and one battery storage unit.
• The JV aims to drill wells to test additional exploration reserves, building on combined gas resources of 50 TCF across Indonesia and Malaysia.
• The JV is expected to grow production to more than 500,000 boe/d in the medium term.

The transformation plan for Versalis involves an investment of about 2 billion euros to be implemented by 2029. This is aimed at reducing emissions by approximately 1 million tonnes of CO2, which represents about 40% of Versalis' emissions in Italy. The focus is on new chemical platforms in renewables, circularity, and specialized products.

Key operational and investment figures for the sustainable chemical transformation include:

• Total Transformation Investment: Approximately €2 billion
• Investment Completion Target: By 2029
• Targeted CO2 Emission Reduction (Scope 1 and 2 in Italy): Around 1 million tonnes
• Porto Marghera Mechanical Recycling Plant Output: 20 kton of plastics per year from secondary raw materials (operational since March 2025).
• Mantua Chemical Recycling (Hoop®) Demonstration Plant Input Capacity: 6 kton per year.

The R&D portfolio is also being steered, with over +50% focused on circularity, decarbonisation, and biochemistry, and the company holds 436 patent families, with 268 related to circular and bio sources.

Eni S.p.A. (E) - Ansoff Matrix: Diversification

You're looking at how Eni S.p.A. is pushing into entirely new business areas, which is the definition of diversification in the Ansoff Matrix. This isn't just about optimizing current oil and gas; it's about building new, lower-carbon revenue streams from the ground up. It's a big pivot, and the numbers show serious capital commitment to these new ventures.

The cornerstone of this diversification is the move into Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS). Eni S.p.A. is launching a new Carbon Capture and Storage satellite company in 2025. The target for this new entity is aggressive: achieving over 15 MTPA of gross storage capacity before 2030. This structure is part of Eni S.p.A.'s satellite model, designed to highlight the value of its energy transition businesses.

To fund and scale this global market opportunity, Eni S.p.A. is forming a joint venture. They signed an agreement for Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), which is part of BlackRock, to acquire a 49.99% interest in Eni CCUS Holding. This deal, which puts GIP and Eni S.p.A. in joint control, could value the business at around $1.2 billion, or €1 billion. GIP is also committing to financing the growth of these carbon management projects.

Another area of new business development involves leveraging Eni S.p.A.'s massive computational power. The HPC6 super-computer, which cost over 100 million-euro to deploy, is a key asset. This system, located in Eni S.p.A.'s Green Data Center, has a peak computing power exceeding 600 PFlop/s, or 600 quadrillion mathematical operations per second. As of November 2024, HPC6 ranked No. 5 in the TOP500 list globally. The intent is to use this capability to accelerate the development of new, high-potential businesses, including those related to data centers and advanced modeling for energy transition projects.

To seed these and other new technologies, Eni S.p.A. is backing its corporate venture capital arm, Eni Next. Eni Next is launching a new European Long Term Investment Fund (ELTIF) in September 2025 with a fundraising target of €100 million, which is about USD$118 million. This fund is explicitly designed to channel capital into high-potential startups focusing on decarbonization and the circular economy, among other clean tech areas. This is a defintely concrete financial commitment to external innovation.

Here are the key figures associated with these diversification moves:

The HPC6 system itself is a lever for these new ventures, as its power can be used to improve geological studies for CO2 storage and accelerate the development of new energy solutions.
