Changes in allowance for doubtful accounts were as follows:
Financing receivables held for operating purposes primarily related to loans provided to joint ventures and associates in the Exploration & Production segment (€741 million) to execute capital projects of interest to Eni. These receivables are long-term interests in the initiatives funded. The main amounts were towards Coral FLNG SA (Eni’s interest 25%) for €417 million (€522 million at December 31, 2024), operating a floating gas liquefaction plant in Area 4, offshore Mozambique. Financing receivables held for operating purposes due beyond five years amounted to €90 million (€214 million at December 31, 2024). The fair value of non-current financing receivables held for operating purposes of €910 million has been estimated based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at rates ranging from 1.9% to 4.8% (1.7% and 4.8% at December 31, 2024). The recoverability of other long-term financial assets was assessed by considering the expected probability of default in the next twelve months only, as creditworthiness suffered no significant deterioration in the reporting period.
Financing receivables held for non-operating purposes related to: (i) the joint venture Mozambique Rovuma Venture SpA (Eni’s interest 35.71%) for €2,318 million (€1,769 million at December 31, 2024) engaged in production and development of natural gas reserves in the Coral discovery prospect offshore, located in the subarea of exclusive exploitation of the concessionaires of the larger Area 4. This receivable is not part of the long-term interest in the upstream initiative; (ii) €710 million of receivables from co-ventures arising from the reallocation of working interest in ongoing development projects in Area 4 offshore Mozambique; (iii) restricted deposits in escrow to guarantee transactions on derivative contracts for €495 million (€937 million at December 31, 2024), referred to the Global Gas & LNG Portfolio business line for €463 million (€907 million at December 31, 2024). Financing receivables were denominated in U.S. dollar for €4,325 million and in euro for €307 million (€3,351 million and €855 million at December 31, 2024, respectively).
