[Operator Instructions] I'm now handing you over to your hosts to begin today's conference. Thank you. Francesco Gattei Thank you.

Good afternoon, and welcome to Eni's third quarter and nine months 2024 results conference call. Energy markets continue to be volatile and unpredictable, driven by a mixture of fundamentals, geopolitics, and speculative trading flows. Our focus is on maintaining resilient and competitive operating and financial performance, reinforcing our balance sheet while funding both investment into the business and attractive distributions to shareholders and progressing our strategy.

In the third quarter, we clearly continued to deliver on all those objectives. In Q3, we indeed reported resilient results, with pro forma adjusted EBIT of €3.4 billion and cash flow from operation of €2.

9 billion, despite the deterioration in scenario across most of our main businesses. We also lowered debt and leverage well ahead of our original plan. I will speak in more.
