Presentation to the Financial Community Preliminary 2010 Consolidated Results February 2011
Forward-Looking Statements By their nature, forward-looking statements are subject to risk and uncertainty since they are dependent on upon circumstances which should or are considered likely to occur in the future and are outside of the Company s control. These include, but are not limited to: monetary exchange and interest rate fluctuations, commodity price volatility, credit and liquidity risks, HSE risks, the levels of capital expenditure in the oil and gas 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), 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. Forward-looking statements are to be considered in the context of the date of their release. Saipem S.p.A. does not undertake to review, revise or correct forward-looking statements once they have been released, barring cases required by Law. Forward-looking statements neither represent nor can be considered as estimates for legal, accounting, fiscal or investment purposes. Forward-looking statements are not intended to provide assurances and/or solicit investment. 2
