CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR THE NINE MONTH PERIOD ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2016 (All amounts in Euro thousands unless otherwise stated)
Hellenic Petroleum S.A. (the "Company") operates in the energy sector in Greece. The Company's activities include refining and marketing of oil products, the production and marketing of petrochemical products and exploration for hydrocarbons.
The interim financial information of Hellenic Petroleum S.A is prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 (IAS 34) – Interim Financial Reporting, and presents the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company on a going concern basis. In this respect Management has concluded that (a) the going concern basis of preparation of the accounts is appropriate, and (b) all assets and liabilities are appropriately presented in accordance with the Company's accounting policies.
This interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union. These can be found on the Company's website www.helpe.gr.
The condensed interim financial information for the nine month period ended 30 September 2016 has been authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 10 November 2016.
The accounting policies used in the preparation of the condensed interim financial information for the nine month period ended 30 September 2016 are consistent with those applied for the preparation of the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015, except as described below. Where necessary, comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to changes in the presentation of the current year.
New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations: Certain new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued that are mandatory for periods beginning during the current financial year and subsequent years. The Company's evaluation of the effect of these new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations is set out below.
• Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2012:
The amendments set out below describe the key changes to certain IFRSs following the publication of the results of the IASB's 2010-12 cycle of the annual improvements project. The adoption of these amendments did not have significant impact for the Company.
The amendments set out below describe the key changes to four IFRSs. Their adoption did not have significant impact for the Company.
• IFRS 4 (Amendments) "Applying IFRS 9 Financial instruments with IFRS 4 Insurance contracts" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018).The amendments introduce two approaches. The amended standard will: a) give all companies that issue insurance contracts the option to recognise in other comprehensive income, rather than profit or loss, the volatility that could arise when IFRS 9 is applied before the new insurance contracts standard is issued; and b) give companies whose activities are predominantly connected with insurance an optional temporary exemption from applying IFRS 9 until 2021. The entities that defer the application of IFRS 9 will continue to apply the existing financial instruments standard—IAS 39. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.
The Company's activities are primarily centred on its Downstream Refining (incl. Petrochemicals) & Marketing of petroleum products; with secondary activities relating to exploration of hydrocarbons. As such, the Company is exposed to a variety of financial and commodity markets risks including foreign exchange and commodity price risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, cash flow risk and interest-rate risk. In line with international best practices and within the context of local markets and legislative framework, the Company's overall risk management policies aim at reducing possible exposure to market volatility and / or mitigating its adverse effects on the financial position of the Company to the extent possible. In general, the key factors that impact the Company's operations are summarised as follows:
Macroeconomic Environment: Following seven years of economic depression and instability up to 2015, the economic and business environment in Greece remains challenging. The Greek economy returned to recession in 2015, following a mild recovery in 2014, mainly due to political and economic uncertainty. The implementation of capital controls on 28 June 2015 led to liquidity shortages while the agreement on a new programme for financial support in August 2015 introduced new fiscal adjustment measures.
The approval of the €86 billion bailout programme in August 2015 and the recapitalisation of the 4 systemic banks during December 2015 were key steps towards the stabilisation of the macroeconomic and financial environment in Greece. Official projections suggest growth in the second half of 2016, as consumer confidence is expected to strengthen and as structural reforms are projected to have a positive effect on investments. Inflation is expected to remain low due to the very depressed state of the economy while unemployment is expected to gradually decline.
While the bailout program has reduced the risk of economic instability in Greece, concerns around its implementation remain, a factor reflected in debt capital and equity markets risk assessment and pricing. The implementation of the program and its effects on the economy are beyond the Company's control. Management continually assesses the situation and its possible future impact to ensure that all necessary actions and measures are taken in order to minimize the impact on the Company's Greek operations.
Securing continuous crude oil supplies: Developments in the global and regional crude oil markets in the last 2 years have reduced the cost of raw material for the Company and increased optionality. International crude oil reference prices dropped by more than 50% compared to June 2014 peak. These developments led to lower cost of crude, for both sweet and especially sour grades, which represent the key source of feedstock for complex refiners like Hellenic Petroleum, thus improving the competitive position of Med refiners vs. their global peers. The Company was able to take advantage of this development and diversify its crude basket compared to previous years.
Financing of operations: In line with its medium term financing plan, the Company maintains a mix of long term, medium term and short term credit facilities by taking into consideration bank and debt capital markets' credit capacity, as well as cash flow planning and commercial requirements. As a result approximately 75% of total debt is financed by medium to long term committed credit lines while the remaining borrowings are financed by short term working capital credit facilities. Further details of the relevant loans and refinancing are provided in note 17, "Borrowings".
Capital management: Overall the Company has around €3,2 billion of capital employed which is driven by its high capital investment in fixed assets, its investments in subsidiaries and associates, as well as working capital. As a result of the Company's investment plan, during the period 2007-2012, net debt level has reached 55% of total capital employed while the remaining amount is financed through shareholders equity. The Company has started reducing its net debt levels through utilization of the incremental operating cash flows, from the operation of the new Elefsina refinery, and plans to reduce these even further with the expected sale proceeds of its stake in DESFA.
This is expected to lead to lower Debt to Equity ratio, better matched Asset and Liability maturity profiles as well as lower financing costs.
The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels are defined as follows:
The following table presents the Company's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value at 30 September 2016:
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total balance |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Assets | ||||
| Derivatives used for hedging | - | 8.569 | - | 8.569 |
| Available for sale financial assets | 1.550 | - | - | 1.550 |
| 1.550 | 8.569 | - | 10.119 |
The following table presents the Company's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value at 31 December 2015:
| Assets | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total balance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Available for sale financial assets | 50 | - | - | 50 |

| Liabilities | ||||
| Derivatives used for hedging | - | 34.814 | - | 34.814 |
| - | 34.814 | - | 34.814 |
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry Group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm's length basis. These financial instruments are included in level 1.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
If one or more of the significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
There were no changes in valuation techniques during the period.
There were no transfers between levels during the period.
The fair value of the following financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amount:

The corporate income tax rate for the period ending 30 September 2016 is 29% (2015: 29%).
Effective for fiscal years ending 31st December 2011 to 31st December 2015, Greek companies meeting certain criteria had to be audited on an annual basis by their statutory auditor in respect of compliance with tax law (Tax Certificate Audit). This audit leads to the issuance of a Tax Certificate which, under certain conditions, substitutes the full tax audit by the tax authorities; who however retain the right of performing subsequent audit without finalizing its tax obligations for the respective fiscal year. The Company has been audited by the statutory auditor and has received an unqualified Tax Compliance Certificate up to the fiscal year ended 31st December 2015. Following recent tax provisions, companies may obtain a tax certificate for the subsequent years (2016 onwards), on an optional basis.
The Company has not undergone a full tax audit for the financial year ended 31 December 2010. As a result income tax obligations are not considered final.
The Tax Certificate Audit for the financial year 2015 was completed in September 2016 and the Company obtained an unqualified Tax Certificate. Management does not expect that significant additional tax liabilities over and above those provided for and disclosed in the financial information will arise.
Provisional VAT audits have been completed up to and including December 2014.
Diluted earnings per ordinary share are not presented because they are not materially different from basic earnings per share. Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period.

Hellenic Petroleum and its subsidiaries (the "Group") has centralised treasury operations which coordinate and control the funding and cash management activities of all group companies. Within this framework, Hellenic Petroleum Finance plc ("HPF") was established in November 2005 in the U.K. as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hellenic Petroleum S.A. to act as the central treasury vehicle of the Hellenic Petroleum Group.
Borrowings with significant movements during 2016 are described below:
In June 2014, Hellenic Petroleum S.A. extended the maturity date of a €400 million syndicated bond loan agreement from December 2014 to 30 December 2015 with a six month extension option, achieving at the same time improvements in cost and general terms and conditions. In September 2015 the Company extended the maturity date
to June 2016. In April 2016, Hellenic Petroleum S.A. made an additional drawdown of €60 million under the facility and the balance of the loan as at 30 September 2016 was € 284 million. In June 2016 Hellenic Petroleum S.A. extended the facility maturity date to October 2016. In October 2016 the facility maturity date was extended for an additional year to October 2017, with two six-month extension options.
In May 2016 Hellenic Petroleum S.A. concluded a € 400 million stand-by facility with a tenor of 18 months and an extension option for a further 6 months. The facility has two Tranches, a committed Tranche of €240 million and an uncommitted Tranche of €160 million.
On 26 May 2010, Hellenic Petroleum S.A. signed two loan agreements (Facilities A and B) with the European Investment Bank for a total amount of €400 million (€200 million each). The purpose of the loans was to finance part of the investment programme relating to the upgrade of the Elefsina Refinery. Both loans have a maturity of twelve years with amortization beginning in December 2013 and similar terms and conditions. Facility B is credit enhanced by a commercial bank guarantee. This is normal practice for EIB lending particularly during the construction phase of large projects. Total repayments on both loans up to 30 September 2016 amounted to €133 million (€22 million paid during 2016). See also note 14 on cash and cash equivalents.
In May 2014, HPF issued a two-year \$400 million Eurobond with a 4,625% annual coupon, maturing in May 2016. Subsequently the Company concluded a \$397,6 million loan agreement with HPF and the proceeds were used for general corporate purposes. In April 2016 the Company fully repaid the loan.

Trade payables comprise amounts payable or accrued in respect of supplies of crude oil, products, commodity derivative contracts and services. Following the Greek crisis and particularly the imposition of capital controls on 28 June 2015 in Greece, open credit from suppliers has reduced materially. This is gradually being changed as the performance of the Company is positive and its dependence on the Greek economy less profound. It should also be noted that the value of open credit and trade payables is driven by the level of prices and the exchange rate between US\$ and Euro at the balance sheet date as most purchases take place on the basis of US\$.
Trade payables, as at 30 September 2016 and 31 December 2015, include amounts in respect of crude oil imports from Iran which were received between December 2011 and March 2012 as part of a long term contract with NIOC. Despite repeated attempts to settle the payment for these cargoes through the international banking system between January and June 2012, it was not possible to do so. This was due to the fact that payments to Iranian banks and state entities were not accepted for processing by the International banking system due to US and International sanctions. After 30 June 2012, Hellenic Petroleum was prohibited to effect payments to NIOC by virtue of EU sanctions (Council Regulation (EU) No. 267/2012 of 23 March 2012). The Company duly notified its supplier of this restriction on payments and the inability to accept further crude oil cargoes under the contract, which is due to the EU sanctions posing legal constraints outside its control.
On 18 October 2015, by Decision (CFSP) 2015/1863, the Council of the European Union (EU) decided to terminate implementation of all Union economic and financial sanctions against Iran, taking into account UNSCR 2231 (2015) and Annex B to UNSCR 2231 (2015), simultaneously with the IAEA-verified implementation by Iran of agreed
nuclear-related measures. On 16 January 2016 ("Implementation Day"), by Decision (CFSP) 2016/37, the Council decided that Decision (CFSP) 2015/1863 shall apply from that date. On the same date U.S and other International Restrictive Measures were also partially lifted. In light of the above developments, Hellenic Petroleum and NIOC executed a Heads of agreement on 22 January 2016 for the recommencement of their commercial relationship for the supply of crude and for the settlement of the overdue amounts. Implementation of the agreement, which commenced during April 2016, is in full compliance with the prevailing EU and international framework as well as applicable sanctions. In accordance with the Heads of agreement, the relevant amount which falls due after twelve months has been transferred from trade payables to other long-term liabilities as at 30 September 2016.
Where deemed beneficial to the Company, in order to achieve better terms (such as better pricing, higher credit limits, longer payment terms), the Company provides short term letters of credit or guarantee for the payment of liabilities arising from trade creditors, making use of its existing credit lines with its banks. To the extent these liabilities materialise before the balance sheet date, they are included in the balance under trade creditors.
Other payables include amounts in respect of payroll and other staff related costs, social security obligations and sundry taxes.

(iii) Open tax years: Income tax audits have been completed up to and including the financial year ended 31 December 2009, while there are ongoing audits for financial years 2010, 2011 and 2012. Furthermore, provisional tax audits, mainly for the return of VAT have been concluded up to December 2014. Management believes that no additional material liability will arise as a result of open tax years over and above the tax liabilities and provisions recognised in the financial information.
It is noted that for financial years ending 31 December 2011 up to 31 December 2015, Greek legal entities are subject to annual tax audits from their statutory auditors. The Company was audited for the financial years ended 31 December 2011 – 2015 obtaining unqualified tax audit certificates.
(iv) Assessments of customs and fines: In 2008, Customs authorities assessed additional customs duties and penalties amounting to approximately €40 million for alleged "stock shortages" during the years 2001- 2005. The Company has duly filed contestations before the Administrative Court of First Instance and management believes that this case will have a positive outcome when the court hearings take place.
However the Customs office withheld an amount of €54 million (full payment plus surcharges) of VAT approved refunds, an action against which the Company filed two Contestations before the Administrative Courts of Athens and Piraeus. The Administrative Court of Athens ruled that the withholding effected by the Tax Office was done against the law. The Company considers that the above amounts will be recovered.
On 2 June 2016, the AGM approved the proposal of the BOD to not distribute a dividend for the year ended 31 December 2015. The Board will re-evaluate distribution and dividend payment during 2016.
On 31 August 2016 the merger of two Group companies ("EKO Industrial and Commercial Company of Petroleum Products", or EKO and "Hellenic Fuels SA", or Hellenic Fuels) was completed, whereby Hellenic Fuels absorbed the net assets of EKO. Thereafter Hellenic Fuels was renamed to "Hellenic Fuels and Lubricants Industrial and Commercial S.A." ("EKO ABEE"). Following the merger Hellenic Petroleum SA now holds 35,6% of the share capital of EKO ABEE, with the rest being held by Hellenic Petroleum International AG, also a group company.
On 16 February 2012, HELPE and the HRADF (jointly the "Sellers") agreed to launch a joint sale process of their shareholding in DEPA Group aiming to sell in total 100% of the supply and trading activities and the shareholding of regional supply companies (DEPA S.A. and EPAs) and 66% of the high pressure transmission network (DESFA). This agreement was approved by HELPE's EGM, dated 30 January 2012.
The sales process resulted in three non-binding offers received on 5 November 2012 and at the final stage, one binding offer for the purchase of 66% of DESFA shares by SOCAR (Azerbaijan's Oil and Gas National Company). SOCAR's final offer is for €400 million for 66% of DESFA; i.e. €212,1 million for HELPE's 35% effective shareholding. Given that at present DESFA S.A. is a 100% subsidiary of DEPA, in order to complete the transaction, DESFA will be "unbundled" through a share distribution (treated as capital reduction of DEPA S.A.), to the two existing shareholders/sellers (i.e. HELPE 35% and HRADF 65%). Thus, once all approvals from the competent authorities are received, SOCAR will buy 35% directly from HELPE and 31% from HRADF.
On 2 August 2013 the Board of Directors of HELPE considered the offer for the sale of its 35% effective interest in DESFA as acceptable, and called for an Extraordinary General Meeting of the shareholders of the Company to approve the transaction. The EGM of the shareholders of the Company held on 2 September 2013 approved the transaction.
Prior to the Board of Directors' meeting, the previous day, on 1 August 2013 the board of directors of HRADF had unanimously accepted the final offer of SOCAR.
The Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) for the sale of 66% of DESFA's share capital was signed by HRADF, HELPE and SOCAR (Parties to the SPA) on 21st December 2013. According to this SPA the rights and obligations of the parties are conditional upon the occurrence of certain events (Conditions) such as the merger clearance of the transaction by the EU or national competition authorities (as applicable) and the certification of DESFA by the Regulatory Authority for Energy of the Hellenic Republic ("RAE") in accordance with article 65 of L. 4001/2011 ("Energy Law"). RAE issued its final certification decision on 29th September 2014. Notification of the transaction to DG for Competition of the European Commission took place on 1st October 2014 and on 5th November 2014, the European Commission opened an in depth investigation. The extent of commitments which may be required to be undertaken by SOCAR and the exact time required for the European Commission to issue a clearance decision cannot be controlled by the parties. On 27th July 2015, the Parties to the SPA executed Addendum No 2, by virtue of which the long stop date of the SPA has been further extended to 21st December 2015; while on 16th December 2015 Addendum No 3 was executed providing for an additional long stop date extension to 30th September 2016. Further to such agreement, the validity of the SOCAR performance guarantee has been extended accordingly. On September 21st 2016 the Parties to the SPA agreed to further extend the long stop date of the SPA and the validity of the SOCAR performance guarantee until October 31st 2016, while on such date, the same parties have further extended the aforementioned long stop date and the validity of the performance guarantee until November 30th 2016.
Although the parties undertake valid commitments upon signing of the SPA, the effectiveness of the totality of the provisions of the SPA (including the transfer of shares and the payment of the consideration) remains subject to conditions, some of which lie beyond the control or diligent behaviour of the parties and, consequently, the completion of the transaction remains suspended and depends on the satisfaction of such conditions.
The cost of investment of the DEPA group in the Company's financial information is €237 million. The impact of the above transaction on the financial statements will be determined on the basis of the structure of the transaction (at present a spin-off process is provided for in the SPA) and timing of implementation.
Given that the transaction can only be completed upon receiving the approval of the relevant competent authorities, and given the timing of such approvals and the unbundling process that is still to be concluded, DEPA Group, as it currently stands, continues to be accounted for and included in the interim financial information as an associate.
On 14 October 2016 the Group issued a €375 million five-year Eurobond, with a 4,875% annual coupon, at an issue price of 99.453% of their principal amount maturing in October 2021. The Notes, which were issued by Hellenic Petroleum Finance Plc and are guaranteed by Hellenic Petroleum S.A., are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. Subsequently the Company concluded a €367 million loan agreement with HPF. The proceeds were used to refinance part of the €488 million loan with HPF, which matures in May 2017, thus extending debt maturity to October 2021 and for general corporate purposes.
