Saipem SpA
Saipem is an Italian engineering and construction company that builds large energy infrastructure. It designs and installs offshore platforms, subsea systems, pipelines, and onshore plants for the oil and gas industry, and it also works on projects tied to gas, carbon capture, and other lower-emission energy systems. In simple terms, Saipem turns engineering plans into physical energy assets in difficult locations such as deep water and remote industrial sites. Its main customers are oil companies, national energy companies, utilities, and other large industrial groups that need complex energy projects delivered from start to finish. Saipem makes money mainly through contracts for engineering, procurement, construction, installation, and drilling-related services. It is paid for executing large projects and for providing specialized vessels, equipment, and technical know-how that many customers cannot easily build in-house. What makes Saipem different is its place in the energy value chain: it is not a fuel producer, but a specialist builder and installer for some of the hardest parts of energy infrastructure. The company’s work depends on heavy engineering skills, offshore logistics, and project execution, so it tends to be used when customers need large, technically demanding projects delivered in harsh environments.

Strong quarter: Saipem reported first-quarter revenue of EUR 3.5 billion, flat year on year, while EBITDA rose 24% to EUR 434 million and cash generation remained strong.
Middle East: Management said the conflict in the Gulf had only limited, temporary operational impact in Q1 and confirmed 2026 guidance, while warning that a longer closure of the Strait of Hormuz could affect deliveries and logistics later in the year.
Cash and balance sheet: Operating cash flow was almost EUR 400 million, and the company ended the quarter with a net cash position of EUR 1.2 billion on a pre-lease basis.
Orders: Order intake was EUR 1.7 billion, but management expects the pace to accelerate in coming quarters, especially in Q2 and Q3, with a typical year-end peak.
Business mix: Offshore E&C and asset-based services drove margin expansion, while drilling remained a transition business with lower revenue and EBITDA and a full-year decline expected.
