Abovementioned effects were limited by positive impact of consolidation of PGNiG Group results, higher refining margins, higher non-fuel margins in retail, lower provisions for CO2 emissions as well as usage of historical inventory layers.

LIFO effect: PLN 1,3 bn impact of changes in crude oil prices on inventory valuation.

Financial result: PLN (-) 0,6 bn as a result of negative impact of net FX differences at positive impact of net interests.

Net result: PLN 3,5 bn of net profit.

Market outlook for 2023

Macro

  • Brent crude oil in 2023, we expect oil prices to drop (y/y) to the level of ca. 80 USD/bbl. Currently, we are observing increased volatility of commodity prices due to the risk of conflict escalation in the Middle East, which might lead to a temporary price increase above 90 USD/bbl.
  • Refining margin in 2023, we expect refining margins to drop (y/y) to ca. 15 USD/bbl. Currently, we are observing a seasonal drop in margins. Global crude oil throughput remains at pre-pandemic levels and ongoing low inventory levels of fuels indicate that global refining capacity is struggling to meet demand. Slowing demand growth or accelerated supply growth are the main levers for easing restrictions.
  • Differential in 2023, we expect differential to fall (y/y) to ca.1,5 USD/bbl as a result of changes in the structure of processed crude oils due to reduction of Russian REBCO throughput in ORLEN Group (in Poland we do not process Russian crude oil).
  • Petrochemical margin in 2023, we expect petrochemical margins to decline by ca. (-) 20% (y/y) as a result of a decrease in demand for petrochemical products due to the economic slowdown and competitive imports.
  • Natural gas in 2023, we expect a drop in natural gas prices (y/y) to ca. 200 PLN/MWh. The volume of LNG imports to Europe has increased by leaps as a result of which the European gas market has become more of a global market and is now more dependent on external factors, like weather.
  • Electricity in 2023, we expect a decrease in electricity prices (y/y) to ca. 500 PLN/MWh.

Economy

  • GDP* Poland 0,6%, Germany (-) 0,5%, Czechia 0,2%, Lithuania (-) 0,2%, Slovakia 1,3%, Hungary (-) 0,3%.
  • Decrease in total demand for fuels and petrochemical products (r/r) as a result of economic slowdown.
  • Lower gas consumption (y/y) as a result of energy crisis, high feedstock prices and reductions.
  • Decrease in domestic consumption of electricity (y/y).

Regulations

  • EU embargo on fuel imports from Russia from 5 February 2023
  • Act on special protection of certain customers consuming gas gas write-down for the Price Difference Payment Fund in upstream of natural gas production in Poland (negative impact on the result of the Upstream segment in the amount of PLN 14 bn) and inflows from compensation in gas sales and distribution in Poland resulting from setting the maximum price below tariffs (positive impact on the result of the Gas segment).
  • National Index Target base level increase from 8,8 to 8,9% (reduced ratio for ORLEN Group is 5,8%).
  • E10 we are working on implementation of gasoline with increased bioethanol content on ORLEN stations from beginning of 2024.

ORLEN Lietuva – EBITDA LIFO increased by PLN 260 m (y/y) as a result of higher margins on light and heavy distillates, partially limited by lower margins on middle distillates and negative impact of hedging (y/y). Positive effects of better sales structure due to reduction of heavy fractions share, higher trade margins and usage of historical inventory layers.

ORLEN Unipetrol – EBITDA LIFO decreased by PLN (-) 1 922 m (y/y) as a result of significant increase of Ural crude oil price, lower margins on middle distillates and negative impact of hedging (y/y). Additionally, decrease of sales volumes in Refining and Petchem segment with higher volumes in Retail. Lower trade margins at higher costs of CO2 emissions and higher overheads and labour costs.

ENERGA Group – EBITDA decreased by PLN (-) 364 bn (y/y) in all business lines. Generation Business Line – lower production in Ostrołęka Power Plant, negative impact of hedging at positive impact of lower costs of CO2 provision. Sales Business Line – lower electricity sales volumes at higher margins. Distribution Business Line – lower electricity distribution volumes and increase (y/y) in costs of transmission and transit fees at higher distribution margins.

exPGNiG Group – no possibility to calculate business effects due to the incomparability of consolidation periods – consolidation of PGNiG Group in ORLEN Group results in 3Q23 amounted PLN 4 844 m.

** Transaction portfolio is valuated in accordance with the IFRS9 requirements. From 1st of July 2022, the Group started to apply hedge accounting (HA) regarding the EUA transactions, therefore Transaction portfolio was divided into instruments without HA, whose valuation and settlement is recognized in other operating profit and lost and instruments with HA, whose valuation is recognized in capital and the financial effect of settlement adjusts the purchase price of EUA contracts. (according to IFRS9)

*** Recognized as intangible assets, which are not amortized and analyzed for impairment. Purchased rights valuated according to the purchase price, received for free in fair value fixed for registration on the account day less any write-offs for impairment.

Dictionary

Model refining margin = revenues (93,6% Products = 33% Gasoline + 48% Diesel + 13% HHO) - costs (100% input: 98% Brent crude oil + 2% natural gas). Spot quotations.

Differential calculated on the real share of processed crude oils. Spot quotations.

Model petrochemical margin = revenues (98% Products = 44% HDPE + 7% LDPE + 35% PP Homo + 12% PP Copo) - costs (100% input = 75% Naphtha + 25% LS VGO). Revenues contract quotations; costs spot quotations.

Fuel yield = middle distillates yield + gasoline yield. Yields are calculated in relation to crude oil.

Working capital (in balance sheet) = inventories + trading receivables and other receivables – trading liabilities and other liabilities

Working capital change (in cash flow) = changes in receivables + changes in inventories + changes in liabilities

Net debt = (short-term + long-term loans, borrowings and bonds) – cash
