Disclaimer By their nature, forward-looking statements are subject to risk and uncertainty since they are dependent upon circumstances which should or are considered likely to occur in the future and are outside of the Group’s control. These include, but are not limited to: exchange and interest rate fluctuations, commodity price volatility, credit and liquidity risks, HSE risks, the levels of capital expenditure in the oil industry and other sectors, political instability in areas where the Group operates, actions by competitors, success of commercial transactions, risks associated with the execution of projects (including ongoing investment projects), the COVID-19 pandemic (including its impacts on our business, our ongoing projects worldwide and our procurement chain), in addition to changes in stakeholders’ expectations and other changes affecting business conditions. Actual results could therefore differ materially from the forward-looking statements. The financial reports contain in-depth analyses of some of the aforementioned risks.

After only a few days, we were among the first companies to invite all our people to work remotely due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic that dramatically impacted all throughout 2020 and is plaguing the world even today. Saipem’s reaction to the pandemic was prompt and efficient, mainly due to the extensive experience in identifying effective solutions dealing with emergencies and being organisationally equipped to handle and communicate crises. Thanks to our adaptability to face the uncertainties in a dynamic context, we not only provided business continuity of operational activities, but we also implemented significant improvements to business processes thanks to digitalisation. We made it possible to accelerate our strategic focus on ecological transition and energy evolution, albeit slowdowns due to compliance with health and safety regulations imposed worldwide and related economic crisis. With this in mind, Your company now offers solutions to tackle the climate change, reduction of carbon footprint, the evolution of energy paradigm and the need to develop sustainable mobility through the realisation of offshore green energy hubs, CO2 capture and storage projects, infrastructures for the production, storage and use of hydrogen. We can take on these commitments immediately, thanks to our technologies, patents, and especially to the experience coming from the dozens of similar projects already carried out in these fields. Furthermore, leveraging on our credentials, we presented practical proposals within the recovery plans supported by the Next Generation EU. At the time of the economic recovery, Saipem will be in a privileged position to compete as a key player for the award of new green and infrastructure projects. Then, more and more, Saipem’s profile is consolidated as a Global Solution Provider: a technology integrator capable of proposing solutions, more than services, realising complex projects in challenging contexts, accompanying clients on the journey to the energy change and leveraging on the ingenuity of passionate women and men, and on proven competences in engineering, construction, and project management. Saipem’s evolution process started in 2015 with the aim of diversifying and de-risking company’s portfolio, revising and digitalising the processes, optimising structural costs, and increasing the operating autonomy of the divisions. This has continued in 2020, keeping the focus and attention on technology and innovation. Innovation is part of Saipem’s DNA and it is probably amongst the most important contributions to Your company’s success over the past 60 years. This has allowed us to continuously improve the organisation and the offered services while creating value for our company. All our appreciation goes to Saipem’s women and men, for their passion, professionalism and constant commitment, without which Saipem could not have overcome this difficult year affected by the pandemic and characterised by deep ongoing transformations. 2020 results
