Galp's integrated report aims to transparently and accurately publish its processes for the creation of economic, environmental and social value, as well as its results during the period and corporate governance practices. In order to evaluate the progress of the Company's performance, the report includes information regarding recent years, where relevant.
It is therefore intended that our performance can be assessed in an integrated way, whilst establishing the connections between our strategy, our business and governance model, and our operational and financial performance, considering relevant external factors.
Galp subscribes to the Financial Stability Board's (FSB) Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) initiative, disclosing the financial risks connected to climate change. We believe that our report is already in line with the TCFD's main guidelines.
This report was elaborated considering the applicable standards and internationally acknowledged guidelines, namely:
Galp's financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS, and the cost of goods sold and of raw materials consumed is valued at Weighted Average Cost (WAC). When goods and commodity prices fluctuate, the use of this valuation method may cause volatility in results through gains or losses in inventories, which do not reflect the Company's operating performance. This is called the inventory effect.
Another factor that may affect the results, without being an indicator that translates the Company's performance in the period, is the set of non-recurring items, namely gains or losses on the disposal of assets, impairments or reinstatements of fixed assets, and environmental or restructuring charges.
In order to provide a better evaluation of the Company's operating performance excluding the above mentioned effects, Galp also discloses its results on a Replacement Cost Adjusted (RCA) basis, excluding non-recurring items and the inventory effect, the latter because the cost of goods sold and raw materials consumed has been calculated with the Replacement Cost (RC) valuation method. RC results are subject to audit, while RCA results are not audited.
In what concerns non-financial information, the data consolidation and reporting methodology comprehends all activities where Galp has a 50% stake or more and/or when it has operational control thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and where the stakeholders' interest so justifies, this report also includes information on non-operated activities where Galp has a stake in, namely within the Exploration & Production (E&P) business.
To complement this Report, Galp publishes additional and detailed information on its corporate website.
Galp aims to build the trust required for supporting the stakeholders' decision-making regarding the Company and, for that, submits the contents of this report and of the Sustainability section on Galp's website to an external, independent and certified assessment by PricewaterhouseCoopers & Associados – Sociedade de Revisores Oficiais de Contas, Lda. (PwC).

1.1. Statement from the Board of Directors

Dear shareholders,
The year 2017 has confirmed that by implementing Galp's strategy, we are creating value and building the foundations for a sustainable future.
The energy sector, which is essential to our society, is in constant transformation. We live in an uncertain world, increasingly technological and global, with great challenges but filled with opportunities.
In an era of opportunities, only the most agile and prepared players will be able to succeed. Galp is, and will continue to be, an integrated energy company, which distinguishes itself by the unique quality of its asset portfolio.
The Board of Directors views Galp's future prospects with enthusiasm and confidence, certain that the Company is better able to meet the challenges of the energy sector, which will allow for a continued path of sustained growth.
Galp has been accelerating its process of transformation, becoming more robust and resilient, while ensuring consistent value generation to all stakeholders. Consistency is one of the defining characteristics of our Company – consistency in our strategy and execution.
This consistency has been recognised by the stock market. Since the stock was placed in the market in October 2006, Galp generated an annualised shareholder return of 12%. This, during a period in which the world, and consequently the energy sector, was marked by numerous political and economic crises.
We remain committed to profitability and value creation, in particular through the development of an enviable set of assets, distinguished by their competitiveness both in the upstream and downstream.
Based on the cash flow generation in 2017 and considering Galp's solid capital structure, the Board of Directors will propose to the Annual General Shareholders' Meeting a 10% increase in the dividend payment related to the 2017 financial year, of €0.55 per share.
The Board of Directors will continue to ensure adequate supervision of the strategic execution, ensuring financial discipline and strict compliance with environmental, safety and corporate governance best practices.
It is with honour, and a great sense of responsibility, that I preside over this Company.
I thank the shareholders for the trust bestowed upon us and our business partners for their cooperation. I would also like to express my appreciation for the management team and all the employees who help make Galp's success a reality every day. Together we will ensure a balanced transition from the present to the future, anchored on sustainable value generation.
Paula Amorim Chairman of the Board of Directors
of Directors

Dear stakeholders,
The energy sector faces renewed challenges regarding the evolution of the global energy mix, in particular the balance between growing long-term primary energy demand and the sustainability of the development model, including climate change mitigation. In this context, Galp positions and affirms itself as an integrated energy player, developing businesses focused on profitability and sustainability.
Aiming to test the resilience of our strategy to different scenarios, we implemented a management and control process based on scenario planning, considering different levels of technology and regulation disruption, taking into account consensual trends.
Our strategic path is clear: we will remain focused on Oil & Gas, while seeking to develop lower carbon differentiated solutions and exploring new business models. We intend to be an active player in changing the energy paradigm, anticipating trends and adapting our portfolio to the evolution of the energy demand mix, while maximising synergies with the current portfolio.
Our strategy remains anchored in the "3 E's" – Execute, Extract and Explore –, developing one of the most competitive upstream portfolios globally, whilst transforming, optimising and expanding our downstream activities. The strategy will remain supported on financial discipline and by our culture based on client-centricity and on sound and lasting partnerships. We have been implementing important measures to make our organisation more agile and flexible, and to foster an environment that is conducive to innovation.
The 2017 results demonstrate the benefits of our integrated business model, associated to our capability to "make it happen". During the year, we benefited both from the increased oil and natural gas production and the performance of the refining and marketing business, supported on a modern, efficient and competitive refining system.
In the upstream, we continued to develop our assets in the pre-salt Santos basin, in Brazil, with emphasis on the Lula and Iracema fields. The increased production from these fields contributed for Galp to reach the milestone of 100 thousand barrels of production per day.
Also in the Santos basin, we increased exposure to the Carcará discovery, where we now plan to move ahead with the appraisal works in order to start production in the first half of the next decade.
It is also worth noting that Galp and its partners sanctioned in June the project for the allocation of a floating liquefied natural gas unit in the Coral South area, in the Rovuma basin in Mozambique. This is the first development commitment in this important large-scale discovery, where we are working to establish that region as one of the main and most competitive global hubs for the production of LNG. We are now committed to move forward with the project that will serve as the anchor for the onshore development of the Mamba area.
We believe that our current portfolio is already competitive in a lower-carbon economy. Not only will we benefit from the greater relevance of natural gas in our production profile, which has a lower carbon intensity than oil, as our portfolio of already sanctioned projects is profitable at an oil price of around \$25/bbl, unparalleled at a global scale.
In the downstream, we operate in a wide range of activities, from refining to the marketing of oil products. We generate energy. We sell natural gas and electricity. We explore new business models focused on services and mobility. We aim to continuously reduce the carbon intensity of our activites, and we are working towards developing a competitive and differentiated renewable energy portfolio.
During 2017, we continued to optimise operations, adapting our activity to the consumption pattern in Iberia and exploring opportunities in international markets. We have developed a client-focused approach and launched a set of digital and proximity marketing initiatives, targeting a positive and convenient experience.
We continue to develop the marketing of oil products activity in selected countries in Africa, taking advantage of the demand growth in such market. We are investing in logistics parks in this region, which will allow us to expand our presence in markets where we have competitive advantages.
Building up on our commitment to grow and create shared value, we identify opportunities and develop our activities fostering the progress of the communities where we are present. We incorporate the principles of sustainability and good governance into our strategy, culture and values, assuming the safety and protection of our people, the environment and our assets, whilst fostering innovation and the development of outstanding human capital.
The Company's organic development allowed us to be free cash flow positive during 2017, anticipating this moment against previously forecasted and already considering an additional important expansion of our upstream portfolio in Brazil. And despite the new cycle in which we position ourselves today, we will continue to proceed with strict financial discipline.
We have the foundations for the new cycle that now begins. Our strategy is supported on a strong financial position and the ability to generate increasing cash flow, making even more robust Galp's value oriented growth plan.
I thank our shareholders for their trust, and thank Galp's employees for their contribution to the 2017 results and for their dedication and commitment to the success of our Company. I also thank our clients, suppliers and partners, because without their contribution we would not be who we are today.
Galp will remain faithful to itself, while adapting to a new normal.

POWER GENERATION 1.3. Highlights of 2017
1.3.
The focus on upstream development has allowed Galp's oil and gas production to more than triple in the last three years, with the main driver being the development of the Lula and Iracema fields. In 2017, we reached another milestone, exceeding a production of 100 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (kboepd).
Together with our partners in the development of Area 4 in Mozambique, we took the final investment decision (FID) regarding the Coral South project, the first commitment to start developing the large natural gas discoveries in the Rovuma basin. Coral South will consist of the production of liquefied natural gas (LNG) through a floating unit (FLNG) with c.3.4 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) capacity.
Through our subsidiary Petrogal Brasil, we acquired a 20% stake in the Carcará North license in the Santos basin, under the 2nd Production Sharing Bidding Round in Brazil. We also agreed the acquisition of an additional 3% stake in block BM-S-8, increasing exposure to the Carcará discovery.
The high availability of our refining system allowed us to benefit from the strong refining margins in the international market. We continued to optimise our activities, increase energy efficiency in the refining process and develop our client-centric marketing approach.
We have launched a new technological platform comprehending a totally innovative solution developed to the needs of the natural gas and electricity marketing business, which promotes agility and efficiency.

Strategic execution Energy for Galp

Understanding the challenges of the external context and emerging issues that may influence the sustainable value creation of our business is a continuous exercise. It leads us to a constant review of the identification of aspects with potential material impact on the ability to generate value in the short, medium and long term, for our Company and for all stakeholders.
Knowing and prioritising these aspects allows us to focus on what is most relevant and establish a strategy for dialogue and engagement with stakeholders, that seeks to respond effectively to interests and expectations, through the various existing communication channels.
The identification of relevant aspects is performed through a comprehensive materiality analysis process, which is systematically reviewed, taking the Global Reporting Initiative guidelines as our benchmark, as well as the Five-Part Materiality Test proposed by AccountAbility, the United Nations Environment Programme and Stakeholder Research Associates. The process of materiality analysis thus includes four major steps:
In 2017, we reviewed the materiality matrix, prioritising the most relevant aspects, throughout the entire value chain, for our business and for our stakeholders.
In order for the definition and scope of the 17 material matters to be correctly understood during the internal and external relevance assessment process, the following context information was provided:
Risk and opportunity management in each geography and context, and at all levels of the Organisation, in an integrated manner, at a strategic, financial, operational and compliance level.
Governance model guided by a set of principles that aim at transparency and effectiveness in the execution of the corporate strategy and in the creation of long-term value.
Promoting an operation that is transparent, ethical and in compliance with the applicable laws or regulations, contributing to the adoption of these principles by its partners.
Establishing dialogue, engagement and partnership relationships with stakeholders, with a view to generating value for society.
Promotion of social, economic and environmental progress in the regions where Galp operates in, aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals, and considering the nature of the Organisation's activities and respective skills.
Sustainability risk and opportunity management throughout the value chain, through an integrated supplier analysis and assessment.
Diversity, equal opportunities and non-discrimination Commitment to promoting equal opportunities and nondiscrimination, and creating value through diversity.
Attracting, monitoring and developing talent in a global context of high competitiveness and volatility.
Training and personal development programmes that contribute to the execution of Galp's strategy.
Through a balanced portfolio, contributing to meeting energy needs and minimising the activity's carbon intensity, responding to energy and climate challenges.
Adoption and incorporation of energy efficiency solutions in the design of products, operations and services, contributing to the proper management of the carbon
footprint throughout their life cycle and throughout the entire value chain.
Related to risk, strategy, governance model, performance and commitments, promoting responsible and informed investment and supporting stakeholders' decision-making.
Preservation, efficient and sustainable management and use of resources at all stages of the life cycle of facilities, products and services.
Preservation of biodiversity and ecosystems in all geographies Galp operates in and throughout the projects' life cycle, maximising the positive impact on natural capital.
Acting in accordance with the best health and safety practices, aiming at the protection of people, the environment and assets.
Development of innovative and distinctive businesses, including low-carbon businesses, and the development of intelligent and connected energy solutions.
Investment in Research and Technology and partnerships with the technical and scientific community and associations.
We acknowledge that our decisions must be guided by a progressively integrated weighting of the various risks and opportunities, whilst considering the rights and expectations of those who are affected by our business. This way, the aspects that are identified as the most relevant in this exercise are those highlighted in this report, and are the same where Galp focuses its efforts in, in an agile and productive manner, contributing to the continuous improvement of its performance, whilst building relationships of trust within society, and generating shared value.

1.6.
In 2017, Galp was once again acknowledged for its practices leading to the generation of sustainable value, and remains present in numerous sustainability indices. We highlight our presence in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) and in the Climate and Water A List of CDP.
Galp was included in the DJSI for the sixth consecutive year. At DJSI Europe, in a universe of ten Oil & Gas Upstream & Integrated companies, we were one of the two selected companies. In the DJSI World index, Galp remained in the restricted group of nine companies, from a universe of 79, and placed in the 93rd percentile of the ranking of its sector. At the environmental level, Galp leads the world ranking for the first time, a result based on its high performance in the «Climate Strategy» and «Eco-Operational Efficiency» categories.
Galp was considered a global leader in corporate sustainability, and was ranked on the Climate and Water A List by the CDP.
We were one of only 25 companies, and the only one in the energy sector, to be double-acknowledged for our actions in managing environmental risks, reducing carbon emissions and improving water stewardship.
Governments and citizens around the world have contributed to the creation of a global model of sustainable society that aims to ensure prosperity and general well-being, as well as the environment's protection.
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) were endorsed by world leaders at the General Assembly of the United Nations on 25 September 2015 and are ambitious guidelines for a sustainable development in the coming years - by 2030 - which can only be achieved with the commitment and dedication of each and every one of us: ordinary citizens, civil society, companies and governments.
For Galp, the SDG are beyond commitments. They shape our business model and our actions because they are objectives that we share and integrate into our activity on a daily basis: with a focus on people, respect for human rights, security, reduction of inequalities and fight against climate change.
We share and add value in all the geographies we operate in, we work together with all our stakeholders with a clear objective: ensuring an increasingly more effective respect for human rights, protecting the environment more efficiently, while always seeking innovative solutions to move towards a low-carbon economy with a reduced ecological footprint, and simultaneously ensuring an increasingly broader access to energy, as we believe that this is a critical factor for social and economic development.
We see the 17 SDG as an integrated set of fundamentally important objectives for a sustainable future, but when framed in our sector of operations and in our specific activity, they take on different preponderances and, for that reason, we have grouped them into three major blocks.

We are committed to generating shared value by identifying opportunities and linking Galp's success to the progress of the communities in which we operate.
Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all.
Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all.
Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns.
Take urgent action to cambate climate change and its impacts.
Strenghten the means of implementation and revitalise the global partnership for sustainable development.

During 2017, Fidentiis Equities resumed coverage of Galp's share and Mediobanca initiated coverage, while Tudor Pickering, Holt & Co. ended coverage. The evolution of the recommendations and target prices issued by the various institutions can be followed on our website.
Galp will continue to ensure it has the capital required to implement the planned investment programme, which is critical to the success of the strategic execution. Dividend distribution will continue to be dependent on cash flow generation, value accretive investment opportunities and financial discipline.
Considering cash flow generation in 2017 and the Company's solid capital structure, the Board of Directors will propose a cash dividend of €0.55 per share related to 2017, at the General Shareholders' Meeting to be held in May 2018, corresponding to a 10% YoY dividend increase.
It is worth noting the payment of an interim dividend approved by the Board of Directors of €0.25 per share in September 2017.
Therefore, based on the share price as of December 31, 2017, the implicit dividend yield of Galp's share was 4%.

To our stakeholders Strategic framework 2.1. Anticipating risks and opportunities Strategic execution Energy for
2.1.
We live in a complex world defined by great volatility and uncertainties.
In order to ensure the sustainability of the Company, we test the resilience of our strategy to different scenarios. Anticipating the risks and opportunities related to every scenario is critical to maximising long-term value creation. We have built four contrasting scenarios, with different levels of technological and regulatory disruption, which we consider to be the critical uncertainties for the energy sector.
Below, we briefly describe each of the scenarios tested, with different outputs regarding Oil & Gas demand and the global energy mix.
Actual greenhouse gas emissions exceed the defined limits, and world leaders are unable to reach new consensuses on environmental policies.
Emerging economies continue to insist on their right to promote growth through abundant and cheap energy sources, while developed countries implement protectionist measures and limit migratory flows to fight long-term unemployment and social instability.
Geopolitical tension increases, with regional conflicts hampering investment in infrastructure and the desired integration of transnational energy systems.
Global energy demand continues to be supported by conventional technology and on fossil resources, being unable to significantly reduce energy intensity. Air pollution is one of the main issues of large urban centres, but there are no structural changes that allow a substantial reduction of emissions. Many cities set restrictions on car traffic, not only because of environmental issues but also because of congestion, encouraging the emergence of a number of carsharing and ride-hailing solutions, which partially replace the role of public transport. The electric vehicles cannot be affirmed as an alternative, because the batteries do not have sufficient autonomy to face the cities' long traffic lines.
Several nations with unconventional oil and gas resources follow the example set by the U.S. at the beginning of the century, creating strong local industries that make it more difficult to make a political decision to replace fossil fuels. Due to lack of technological development, renewable energies cannot be affirmed as an alternative, and remain as a niche solution in developed countries.
The collective commitment made by the major world nations to set a limit on greenhouse gas emissions by the end of the century was renewed year after year by policymakers and transposed into national regulations. In the absence of technological disruptions that would accelerate the energy transition, the replacement of fossil fuels – mainly coal and oil – was achieved through additional layers of public policies, namely with the implementation of CO2 quotas and prices, and with heavy investment in energy efficiency solutions. Natural gas and nuclear power play a pivotal role in replacing coal as the main source of primary energy for power production because of the few technological advances in battery development for utilities.
In most countries there is a reinforcement of public transport services, which is the result of a strong public investment, and urban planning promotes pedestrian or bicycle circulation, to the detriment of the car.
Urban mobility is mostly carried out by electric vehicles because of the prohibition or strong limitation to the use of internal combustion vehicles in the cities, although the low autonomy of the vehicles prevents them from being a true alternative for long journeys or for heavy vehicles, in which hydrogen competes with natural gas to replace diesel. With the strong limitation to the use of fuel oil and a competitive position favourable to diesel, LNG also gains a significant weight in maritime transport.
Aviation fuel price is significantly aggravated by CO2 rates and biofuel incorporation obligation. The railway transportation gains relevance as an alternative, with several high-speed projects replacing air transport for regional connections.
The permanent technological acceleration created shock waves at a political and social level, which led to the fragmentation of society and to the reinforcement of more informal mechanisms of power and hierarchy. With the majority of the world population living in urban centres, large metropolises have become new city-states, while rural areas are virtually deserted. This new framework prevents the building of an overall global political consensus, so environmental concerns are primarily local in combating pollution of large urban centres.
Public decision-makers are unable to keep up with society's dynamism, often renouncing their historic regulatory role and, thus, there is no longer a more integrated view of market equilibria. Urban mobility is mainly provided by private individuals, who offer clients the most varied collective and individual transportation options, ranging from hoverboards to drones. Almost all of these solutions are electrical, with wireless hyperchargers and super batteries making the charging process almost unnoticeable.
The world is experiencing a process of continuous digitalisation and resulting dematerialisation, with concepts such as «virtual and augmented reality», «internet of things» and «3D printing» becoming common, and resulting in an increased weight of electricity at the final energy consumption level.
The global mobility of people was affected by the alternatives of virtual and augmented reality, which replaced a relevant part of the meetings and face-to-face trainings, trips to congresses and seminars, and even gave rise to a market niche for virtual tourism. Remote working has also increased, allowing many workers to only move occasionally to their employer's facilities, making corporate spaces significantly smaller.
Most non-perishable goods – in homes, cars, and even in clothing – have some sort of data generation, causing an explosion of information flows, and its associated energy consumption. The sharp reduction in the cost of renewable energy, together with large-scale storage solutions, allows for greater penetration of these alternatives and the multiplication of off-grid systems, with many buildings, neighbourhoods and factories becoming energetically independent. This movement leads to an under-investment in public electricity grids and gives rise to a more disordered and decentralised electrical system.
New material and intelligent resource management solutions also enable continued energy efficiency gains across all sectors, mitigating the effect of a society where energy is always present.
Politicians, entrepreneurs, and academics from all walks of life have worked together over the past few decades to develop the global programme to eliminate fossil fuels by the end of the century. The articulation of adequate public policies with strong technological entrepreneurship has significantly increased the share of renewable energy in the energy mix, hence mitigating the environmental impact of fossil fuels. The term «Sustech», which combines sustainability and technology, was considered the word of the year, symbolically representing the new global paradigm of a more balanced world.
The advent of tailor-made production solutions in the socalled «factories of anything», the result of technological advances in robotics, materials and artificial intelligence, allowed the production of goods to be brought closer to the consumption centres, reducing the energy footprint of the global flow of goods. The food industry also underwent structural changes, redirecting itself to less energy-intensive products, as a result of behavioural changes and progress in the area of genetic manipulation. The best example of this change was the strong growth of the hydroponic industry, which allows the production of food within urban areas.
The strong public investment in the modernisation of road infrastructure has made it possible to accelerate the transition to autonomous vehicles, reconciling its presence with the gradually lower number of manned vehicles. This revolutionary change made it possible to reduce road accidents and contributed positively to the economy through the additional productivity of increased life expectancy and savings in health expenses and vehicle repair costs.
Widespread autonomous vehicles, along with the multiple mobility management solutions available also altered the transportation ownership paradigm. The majority of people in urban areas request means of transport that are tailored to their needs and do not worry about their operational management, which is taken care of by specialised companies.

To our stakeholders Strategic framework 2.2. Our strategy
To ensure that Galp is resilient under the various projected scenarios, we reflect in our strategy the main guidelines that aim to secure a resilient and agile organisation, prepared for a complex and uncertain world.
Galp's strategy remains focused on developing a resilient upstream portfolio, embedded with an efficient and competitive downstream business, supported by innovative and differentiating solutions that promote the transition into a lower carbon economy.
This strategy is supported by a strong financial capacity and on a culture which is client-centred and grounded on partnerships, and which will continue to foster a more agile, innovative and technologically advanced corporate environment. With this approach, Galp is preparing to face the energy sector's challenges and dynamics, within an uncertain and complex context.
In the upstream, Galp continues to ensure the sustainability of its E&P portfolio, which should be competitive and profitable in any expected oil and carbon pricing scenario. Our strategy focuses on identifying new opportunities in geographies where we have a competitive advantage or a strategic angle, namely through exploration and discovered resources opportunities, in order to sustain the competitiveness of future production growth while maintaining a balanced exposure to gas. The main priorities will continue to be the disciplined execution of the existing projects and to extract more value from them.
In the downstream, Galp is focused on adapting to new product specifications and consumption patterns, embedded in an open, digital and sharing economy; a world where consumer's behaviour is permanently changing, and with a growing cross-industry competition, where
competitors are less evident. Galp will focus on improving the efficiency and conversion capabilities of its refining system, whilst continuing to strengthen its competences in trading commodities, leveraging existing opportunities in the global energy markets. It will seek to develop African clusters, expanding within its respective hinterlands.
Oil & Gas will remain core to Galp's strategy, but the Company will develop new solutions and explore business opportunities supported by low-carbon energy sources, addressing the challenges posed to its industry.
Galp aims to play an active role in changing the energy paradigm, in particular by anticipating new trends; by adapting its portfolio to future needs, creating synergies with the present activity whenever possible; consolidating the Company's knowledge and enhancing asset diversification, with the corresponding risk reduction, namely through lower carbon intensity energy, as is the case of renewables differentiated solutions.
We acknowledge that the structural changes in energy consumption will boost new solutions that are innovative and increasingly sustainable at an economic, environmental and social level.
In connection to the ongoing digital transformation, a set of new capacities has arisen, with old solutions giving place to innovative products and services. Diverse areas such as mobility, decentralised energy production or domotics impact the energy sector, leading to significant gains in energy efficiency and to a wider range of options for clients.
Galp endeavours to help find the best solutions for its clients. Therefore, the Company will continue to promote the transition into a client-focused organisation, with the skills for anticipating and fulfilling their needs.
To achieve that purpose, it will also develop partnerships that help complement Galp's value proposition and to diversify its product and service portfolio, making it adequate to the natural dynamics of a market that is based on information and knowledge.
We continue to invest in innovation, research and technological development, crucial for the continuous extraction of value from our assets and for the creation of new business models, as well as for the sustainability of the Company and the communities we operate in.
In order to face the industry's transformational challenges, Galp shall invest in the organisational transition into a model that is strongly supported by digital solutions and information management. To that end, the Company will encourage its employees to work and make decisions in highly complex and uncertain contexts.

2 Subject to deal completion / request authorisation.
Galp's reserves and resources have been subject to an independent audit by DeGolyer and MacNaughton (DeMac).
In 2017, proved and probable (2P) reserves increased 11% YoY to 748 mmboe. This increase mainly resulted from the FID regarding the Coral South project, in the Rovuma basin in Mozambique, despite having been partially offset by production during the year. Natural gas reserves increased YoY and account for around 20% of total 2P reserves.
2C contingent resources increased by 2% YoY to 1,352 mmboe, on the back of the acquisition of a stake in Carcará North, in Brazil. Natural gas resources accounted for c.40% of the total and were mainly located in the Rovuma basin.
Risked prospective resources at year end stood at 566 mmboe.


Contingent resources (mmboe)


Note: reserves on a net entitlement basis. Contingent resources and prospective resources on a working interest basis.
Galp is governed by a responsible activity, focusing on a safe operation, and applying the reference standards in energy management and emissions.
In this sense, we are committed to scaling new E&P projects to zero flaring under normal operating conditions, by joining the Zero Routine Flaring by 2030 initiative as an E&P operator. Current projects are being adapted to reduce emissions, with a registered gas flaring volume of 1,109.5 103m3 in 2017. This volume is expected to be reduced upon the implementation of the energy production project, through the reutilisation of the gas produced.
The most relevant development projects include two of the largest oil and natural gas discoveries in recent decades, located in block BM-S-11, in the pre-salt Santos basin, in Brazil; and in Area 4, in the Rovuma basin, in Mozambique, respectively.
In 2017, the Company reached the 100 kboepd production milestone, with the average working interest production for the period standing at 93.4 kboepd, up 38% YoY, reflecting the increased production from Brazil.
In Brazil, working interest production was 85.5 kboepd, a 48% increase YoY, benefiting from the development of the Lula and Iracema projects, namely FPSO #6 reaching plateau production and the first replicant FPSO (FPSO #7) starting production in May.
In Angola, working interest production was 7.9 thousand barrels of oil per day (kbpd), down 19% YoY, impacted by the natural decline of the producing fields in block 14.
Net entitlement production rose around 41% when compared to 2016, to 91.5 kboepd, following the production growth from Brazil.
We have several projects in the development and production stages in the Santos basin.
The Brazilian pre-salt is a benchmark in the industry, not only for the size and quality of its reservoirs, but also for the operational efficiency achieved in the development of projects like Lula and Iracema, with Galp and its partners fostering sustainable value creation and a strong innovation culture.
During the year, the focus continued to be on the implementation of the development plan, through the start of a new production unit, the installation and connection of wells and other equipment, and the connection to the gas infrastructure.
The Lula and Iracema projects currently have seven units in operation, six of them producing at plateau levels and one in the ramp-up stage.
FPSO #6, allocated to the Lula Central area, reached plateau production during the year, only 11 months after first oil and ahead of plan. FPSO #7, the first replicant unit allocated to the project, started operating in the Lula South area in May, and had five connected producer wells at the end of the year.
The remaining FPSO units produced steadily at plateau levels throughout the year, although being impacted by maintenance activities. These activities are planned to ensure the integrity of the infrastructures and its operation under optimal conditions.

Two FPSOs in Lula are expected to start production during 2018.
Galp is committed to maximising the value of its assets, namely in optimising its operations and increasing the recovery of discovered resources. The oil recovery factor in the Lula and Iracema fields increased to 31%, with the focus being in potentiating a further increase in the recovery factor.
The Iara project is composed of three accumulations, designated as Atapu, Berbigão and Sururu, in BM-S-11 and extending to the Entorno de Iara area (Transfer of Rights).
The initial development plan for the project was submitted in 2015 to the Brazilian National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) and provides for the installation of three units.
The project partners, Petrobras for the Transfer of Rights area and Pré-Sal Petróleos S.A. (PPSA), are currently negotiating the Production Individualisation Agreement (PIA) that will define the terms of the unitisation between the three fields and the Transfer of Rights area to be developed under the Greater Iara project.

During 2017, the partners proceeded with the seismic and processing works, in order to reduce volumetric uncertainty and improve reservoir representation, thus optimising the development concept.
The Iara drilling campaign proceeds, with partners having completed by the end of 2017 the drilling of nine producer wells and two injector wells out of the total of 51 planned development wells. For 2018, an Extended Well Test (EWT) is planned in the Sururu area.
The Greater Carcará project, which is estimated to have recoverable volumes of at least 2 bn bbl, includes the Carcará area, in block BM-S-8, as well as its extension to Carcará North area.


1 Contigent to transaction conclusion (3% additional stake).
Galp is currently present in the consortium of block BM-S-8 with a 14% stake, having agreed with Statoil, through Petrogal Brasil, to acquire an additional 3% stake, for c.\$114 m, with part of the payment contingent on meeting certain conditions.
The Carcará discovery extends beyond block BM-S-8, to Carcará North area, which was subject to bidding under the 2nd Production Sharing Bidding Round held by ANP in 2017. Through Petrogal Brasil, we acquired a 20% stake in this area, while Statoil (operator) and ExxonMobil acquired a 40% stake each. The consortium offered a profit oil share of 67.12%, and the signing bonus was around \$930 m. The work plan for the area includes a commitment to drill an exploration well.
During 2017, the activities in the Carcará discovery, in block BM-S-8, were focused on assessing the exploration and appraisal campaign conducted, in order to deepen the knowledge on the reservoir characteristics and to better
define the area's drilling and completion plan. The studies for defining the gas export system solution also proceeded, together with the remaining pre-development activities.
In 2018, it is worth noting that the consortium is undertaking a DST in the Carcará Northwest well to test the well's productivity and to improve the knowledge of reservoir characteristics in this area. The consortium is also planning an appraisal well in the Carcará North area during the year.
Block BM-S-24, in which Galp holds a 20% stake, comprises the Júpiter and Sépia East areas in the Brazilian pre-salt.

The Sépia East area will be subject to unitisation with the Sépia field (Transfer of Rights, 100% Petrobras), and negotiations are currently underway between the block BM-S-24 consortium and Petrobras.
The start of production of the unitised Sépia field is planned for 2021, through a unit with a daily capacity of 180 kbbl and 6 mm3 of gas.
The appraisal works indicated excellent results regarding oil quality as well as the reservoir's porosity and permeability.
The partners for block BM-S-24 were conceded a five-year extension of the exploration period in 2016, which will allow the continuation of the field's technological development studies.
The studies are mostly focused on the reservoir, on the guarantee of fluid outflow, field development infrastructure, on CO2 transport, subsea separation of produced fluids and on different types of metallurgy to apply in well completions.
Galp privileges a preventive stance in all the geographies where it operates, making this a daily routine throughout the life of the projects and the assets. Despite this, we are prepared to deal with any unwanted event at any time, which is why in all geographies there are structured emergency response mechanisms. Typically, these plans include the resources defined in the Individual Emergency Plan of each facility, as well as an Emergency Plan for Oil Leakage for each geographic area. In this, complementary actions and response procedures are presented for events that involve oil spills that exceed the limits of the installation, offshore or onshore. These procedures are prepared, planned and trained, and drills are carried out periodically at various levels.
We are operators in the Rabo Branco producing field and have a stake in the Sanhaçu field, located in the basins of Sergipe-Alagoas and Potiguar.
The Sanhaçu field is located in block POT-T-479 in the Potiguar basin, and started production in 2012. The Rabo Branco field, located in the Sergipe-Alagoas basin, was declared commercial in 2012 and is also in production.
In 2017 we concluded the first stage of research and monitoring of fugitive emissions, namely methane, throughout the Rabo Branco concession.
The results obtained demonstrate a low rate of fugitive emissions, occasionally identified, demonstrating the unit's good mechanical integrity conditions, and the equipment's adequate management.
The size of the discovered resources position the Rovuma basin as one of the world's most relevant regions for the natural gas industry, and will be decisive for the increased weight of gas in Galp's production portfolio, thus contributing to the transition to a lower-carbon economy.
During 2017, ExxonMobil acquired an indirect 25% stake in Area 4, through Eni East Africa S.p.A. Eni will continue to lead the Coral South project and the remaining upstream operations in Area 4, while ExxonMobil will lead the construction and operation of onshore LNG infrastructure.


In 2017, the consortium for the development of Area 4 took the FID for the Coral South project.
This project involves the construction of an FLNG unit with a capacity of around 3.4 mtpa of LNG that will be connected to six wells. The FLNG unit will be allocated to the southern part of the Coral discovery, which is exclusively located in Area 4 and contains around 16 tcf of GIIP.
The EPCIC contract for the FLNG unit was awarded to the Technip, JGC and Samsung consortium. Contracts relating to the upstream, namely for the drilling rig, for subsea and umbilical production systems, were also awarded.
The investment for upstream and midstream development is estimated at about \$7 bn and production is expected to start in 2022.
In addition, the consortium secured a financing package of \$4.7 bn with a group of ECAs (Export Credit Agencies) and international financial institutions.
The Mamba discovery stands out for the size and quality of its resources, its location and potential economies of scale, and its competitiveness compared to other LNG projects.
During 2017, we proceeded with the analysis of Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) technical and commercial proposals for upstream and midstream solutions.
Considering that the discovery's reservoirs extend between Area 4 and the adjacent Area 1, the unitisation agreement, which has already been concluded and submitted by the partners to the Mozambican Government, is pending on approval.
Galp has producing assets in blocks 14 and 14K, through two operating platforms, and also holds a stake in the Kaombo project in block 32, which is under development.

During 2017, conversion works proceeded on the two FPSOs to be installed in the Kaombo project, with a processing capacity of 125 kbpd each. Production from this project is expected to start in 2018.
At the end of 2017, the area already had 22 drilled wells out of a total of 59 planned for the Kaombo field development.
With regards to block 14/14k, the Benguela-Belize-Lobito-Tomboco (BBLT), Tômbua-Lândana and Kuito fields are in the natural decline phase.
Galp has a diverse portfolio of exploration projects, centred on the Atlantic basin.
The drilling of the Guanxuma prospect, located in the Brazilian pre-salt block BM-S-8, is planned for 2018, and the rig is already contracted.
The exploration portfolio in Sao Tome and Principe includes four offshore blocks, block 6 – where Galp is the operator – and blocks 5, 11 and 12, where the Company holds a 20% stake.
In 2017, we concluded a large 3D seismic data acquisition programme in the country, throughout 16 thousand km². Seismic data is currently being processed and interpreted. This operation was subject to an environmental impact study, with mitigation measures for potential impacts currently operational.
Galp's position in Namibia consists of two exploration licenses in the country's offshore, PEL 82 in the Walvis basin and PEL 83 in the Orange basin.
In 2017, the studies on the area's geological assessment continued, as well as the processing of the 2D seismic data in the PEL 83 blocks.
In 2018, we highlight the sale of a 40% stake in PEL 82 to ExxonMobil, with Galp keeping 40%, as well as the 3D seismic acquisition campaign works in the license.
The exploration portfolio in Portugal currently includes four offshore blocks, of which three in the Alentejo basin and one in the Peniche basin.
In the Alentejo basin, works during the year focused mainly on preparing to drill the first well, Santola-1.
In the Peniche basin, all blocks were abandoned during 2017, with the exception of Camarão where a request was made for the transmission of the contractual position of 100% to Galp.

In 2015, includes the contribution from the trading activity related to oil produced, which was reallocated from the R&M to the E&P business from 2016 onwards.
Galp operates an integrated refining system comprising two refineries in Portugal.
The integration of refining and marketing of oil products activities brings a competitive advantage. Galp markets most of its products in Iberia, where it holds a comprehensive oil products distribution network, making it one of the reference operators in the region. We also operate distribution and marketing activities in selected African markets.
We benefit from logistics advantages through the access to several maritime terminals and storage facilities in Iberia, and we are also developing logistics terminals projects in Mozambique.
Galp aims to ensure the integrated optimisation of the R&M business, aiming to maximise value creation through sustained margin growth with permanent focus on cost reduction, and optimisation of capital employed. Additionally, in order to implement and disseminate a client-centric culture, supported on operational efficiency and continuous improvement, we are implementing a programme based on the Kaizen methodology.
Galp manages the sourcing of crude oil and other raw materials, taking into account several factors, such as the maximisation of the refining margin, the sourcing diversification strategy, as well as the specific characteristics of the refining system.
During the year, Galp imported crude oils from 15 countries, with medium and heavy crude accounting for 84% of total imports.


Atish Jaientilal, Galp - Maputo, Mozambique
Galp has a modern and complex integrated refining system, comprising the Sines and Matosinhos refineries, with a crude oil processing capacity of 330 kbpd. The system has a hydrocracking and fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) unit at the Sines refinery for the production of medium and light distillates, respectively, as well as a visbreaker unit and aromatics and base oils plants at the Matosinhos refinery. Its combined Nelson complexity index is 8.6.


Note: In 2016, a technical planned outage occurred in Matosinhos refinery.

Galp has been developing and implementing projects aimed at gradually increasing its refining margin by \$1/boe by 2020 through initiatives to increase conversion and energy efficiency, requiring marginal investments in the expansion of current equipment.
Under the PhD Programme in Refining, Petrochemical and Chemical Engineering (EngIQ), in partnership with Portuguese universities, we are developing projects that aim to extract more value from our sourcing, refining and logistics activity.
Galp's focus on a Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) programme consists of managing the equipment life cycle, in order to increase the units' predictability and availability. During 2017, our refineries achieved a high conversion rate, which allowed us to benefit from the favourable market environment.
Approximately 15.9 million tonnes (mton) of raw materials were processed, with crude accounting for 91% of the total. Middle distillates and gasoline were the most relevant products within the Company's production mix.

An introduction in 2020 of a 0.5% cap on the sulphur content of marine fuels by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) will represent a disruption of the market as we know it today. Given the uncertainties deriving from this regulatory change, Galp is analysing both the alternatives for the supply of fuel according to the new specifications, and also the possible alternatives to adapt its refining system to the new requirements.
Galp operates an industrial unit in Sines, Enerfuel, focused on the transformation of waste oils and waste animal fats into second generation FAME (fatty acid methyl ester) biodiesel. In addition, we became producers of second generation biofuels by co-processing vegetable oil together with gasoil, obtaining a final diesel fuel undistinguishable from diesel of fossil origin.
Regarding the introduction of biofuels in Iberia, in accordance with the goals established by the European Commission and the respective countries, Galp will continue to pursue the goal of incorporating 10% by 2020 in gasoline and diesel, using the various complementary renewable sources at its disposal. In 2017, Galp introduced around 248 106 m³ of biofuels in Portugal. In Spain, around 133 106 m³ of biofuels were introduced, also in compliance with local legislation. Through the introduction of biofuels in the road market, we have contributed to prevent 458 kt CO2.
We are a relevant player in Iberia, where we operate a distribution network for oil products. We have also been consolidating our position in African countries where attractive market growth is expected, and in an activity that allows for synergies with the Company's remaining businesses.
Our focus is the marketing of oil products under Galp's own brand, both through the Company's service station network and through the direct sale to wholesale clients. Galp also supplies other operators in Iberia and operates in the export market.
In 2017, 18.5 mton of oil products were sold, a 4% increase YoY, benefiting from the growth of the Iberian oil products market and the high availability of the refining system.

Oil products sales to direct clients, both through the Galp brand service station network and through sales to wholesale clients, is mostly focused in Iberia, but also in some specific African markets, where Galp considers being able to create more value, and where the presence of the brand is perceived as differentiated.
In 2017, sales to direct clients increased 1% YoY to 8.9 mton, on the back of the economic upturn in Iberia. Sales volumes in Africa accounted for around 10% of all sales to direct clients, up 1 p.p. YoY.
Galp's retail network at year-end comprised a total of 1,459 service stations, of which 1,300 in Iberia and 159 in Africa. Galp retains its leadership position in the retail market in Portugal and is a relevant player in Spain.
We remain focused on differentiating our value proposition by providing a service of excellence and focusing on innovative products. In that regard, in 2016, Galp launched a new fuel range, Evologic diesel and gasoline, with additives which allow for higher savings, extended engine life and greater efficiency. In 2017, this fuel range accounted for more than 50% of sales of automotive fuel.
In the retail segment, sales increased 2% to 2,754 kton. Non-fuel products sold at service stations accounted for over 10% of total sales in the retail segment. During 2017, we developed and tested new digital point-of-sale communication formats that will enable us to modernise the purchase experience and improve engagement with customers, allowing for the generation of additional revenues. We highlight the launch of new digital interaction tools which will allow for a two-way communication and customer feedback model.
In order to enhance our client proximity, we proceeded with our partnership with the largest food retail group in Portugal, Sonae, reaching in 2017 a c.1.7 million client base.
In the wholesale segment, volumes sold increased 2% YoY, with a number of sub-segments, such as aviation, benefiting from the increase in tourism in Iberia.
In response to a greater demand for oil products in Iberia, Galp supplies other operators, positioning itself as one of the most important suppliers of the Portuguese market. In 2017, Galp sold 3.3 mton to other operators, corresponding to 18% of total marketed volumes.
In 2017, exports outside the Iberian Peninsula totalled 6.2 mton, up 6% YoY, due to the increase in the volume of products available for sale considering the high availability of the refining system.
Fuel oil, gasoline and diesel accounted for 26%, 29% and 29% of total exports, respectively, destined mostly to Spain, USA and France.
Benefiting from the advantage of the refining system's location, Galp has been placing heavier gasoline components in the North American market, particularly in the East Coast, used for blending purposes.

Galp's G&P business combines natural gas sourcing and supply activities, which have been gradually integrated with electricity generation and supply.
Galp's supply activity consists of the sale of natural gas and electricity, mainly in Iberia, where the Company has reinforced its integrated energy supply.
Galp also operates in the international natural gas market, through its natural gas network and LNG trading activity.
Galp holds natural gas and LNG long-term sourcing contracts with Sonatrach in Algeria, and Nigeria LNG in Nigeria, respectively. These provide for the sourcing of 5.7 bcm per year and expire gradually from 2020.

Natural gas supply from Algeria is done via the Europe Maghreb (EMPL), Al-Andalus and Extremadura pipelines, where Galp holds stakes.

|---|---|---|---|
| EMPL | Algeria, Morocco |
12.0 | 23 |
| Al-Andalus | Spain | 7.8 | 33 |
| Extremadura | Spain | 6.1 | 49 |
In addition, the Company sources natural gas from other markets, namely the Spanish and French wholesale players.
The remaining natural gas requirements are met through operations in the spot market.
Galp supplies natural gas to over 530 thousand customers in the industrial, electrical and retail segments in the Iberian market, from a total of 644 thousand Gas & Power customers.
In 2017, the Company achieved record sales to direct clients, with the supply of 4,374 mm3 of natural gas during the year, up 16% YoY, following the acquisition of customers in the industrial segment.

In the electrical segment, natural gas volumes sold increased 218 mm³ to 1,397 mm³, as a consequence of higher energy production from natural gas as opposed to hydroelectric energy sources in Iberia.
In the electricity business, in which Galp has been focusing in order to reinforce its portfolio of products and services, volumes sold totalled 3,625 GWh in 2017, a 7% increase compared to the previous year.
In 2017, we have launched a new technology platform comprehending an innovative solution developed to the needs of the natural gas and electricity supply business, which promotes agility and efficiency with the aim of improving our client services.
Additionally, Galp acquired during 2017 a 25% stake in a start-up that, through a digital platform, enables gas, electricity and services to be delivered to customers in a simplified and useful manner.
Galp has also been exploring new business opportunities in order to boost its integrated energy offer.
These include developing projects related to the implementation of sustainable natural gas and LNG operations, providing our customers and partners with innovative energy solutions that allow them to substantially reduce their emissions. In 2017, we carried out the first LNG sourcing operation to a ship in a Portuguese port, and we currently have two service stations to supply LNG to road transportation.
Through Galp Energy Solutions, we also implement technological solutions and offer integrated energy efficiency services that benefit our customers, reducing costs and emissions. During 2017, Galp developed, alongside its clients, energy efficiency solutions which originated in a reduction of 292 tCO2/year.
Galp develops its NG/LNG trading activity in the international market, and has also consolidated its position in European gas markets, such as Spain, France and the Netherlands, through the natural gas network trading activity.
In 2017, traded volumes stood at 2,974 mm3 , compared to 3,285 mm3 in the previous year. It should be noted that the lower opportunities found in the LNG market were partially offset by the increase in the contribution of network trading.
Galp holds two cogeneration units in Portugal, installed in the Sines and Matosinhos refineries, with an installed capacity of 173 MW. Those are important natural gas consumption points, as well as important energy sources for the refineries' operation.
The Company also has 12 MW installed capacity at a wind farm in Portugal. In 2017, we produced 161 GWh which corresponds to 62.3 kton CO2 avoided and €4.3 m in avoided energy imports.
Electricity sales to the grid were 1,548 GWh, following higher volumes sold in Portugal.
Galp aims to be present in power generation from differentiated renewable activities that are competitive, particularly within a context of lower carbon intensity.
The regulated infrastructure business involves the distribution of natural gas in Portugal.
Galp participates in nine natural gas distributors in Portugal, operating a 12,890 km network, through the associated company GGND.
The remuneration rules on this activity are defined by the Portuguese Energy Market Regulator (ERSE). The rate of return expected for the 2017-2018 period was revised from 6.20% to 6.65%, reflecting the yields of benchmark bonds in the period.

4. Energy for a changing world

Global Energiser
We face the challenges that the world presents to us every day, mindful of the impact that our actions have on society. Therefore, we act ethically and responsibly, sharing with society the value we create. We do this through the creation of direct and indirect employment, by valuing our human capital, promoting the development of local economies, streamlining our supply chain and distributing and reinvesting the wealth generated.
It all starts with our 6,389 employees, who mirror the principles we believe in: creating sustainable value, working in partnership and promoting equal opportunities. It extends to the expected contribution from our projects to improve people's lives and to promote the economic and social development of the communities in which we are involved, in the 11 countries where we are present.
We are committed to the safety of our people and assets, the protection of the environment, and the respect for human rights. We are an active player in the world's transition to a low-carbon economy, ensuring in an increasingly diversified, innovative and sustainable manner the access to energy as an essential factor for progress, whilst minimising our environmental footprint.

4.1.
The energy sector has been undergoing profound changes, which are expected to intensify in the coming decades. It is today characterised by its volatility and complexity.
The world has also changed, and in a context of decarbonisation of the economy and change of the mobility paradigm, creating long-term value requires innovative solutions and the development of new businesses.
That is why we promote innovation and technological development, cooperation and shared knowledge, vital factors to maximise the value we extract from our portfolio, and also to the sustainability of the Company and the communities where we operate.
To address the transformational challenges of the industry, we will continue to invest in the transition to a business model supported by digital solutions and information systems. Thus, we are committed with our employees' development and we encourage agility in decision-making in a context of high complexity and uncertainty.
We promote technological training and foster knowledge networks through partnerships. Innovation projects are developed in-house or in partnership with reference players or scientific and technological entities.
The strategic agenda for innovation that we redefined in 2017 was based on a scenario planning exercise from which we identified four major axes:

570 thousand

in the protection of people, the environment and assets We intend to adapt our assets to the new industry paradigms.
To this end, we promote programmes which allow us to extract more from our businesses, particularly from upstream and refining, oriented to the future and to the transition to a low carbon economy.

We seek to explore the opportunities arising from profound technological changes. We adapt to the new trends of mobility |and study the provision of services and solutions for future homes and cities: smart, comfortable, secure, digital and interconnected.

We execute our strategy, taking advantage of the opportunities that arise from digitisation at all levels of the Organisation.
We have made Galp a more agile, flexible and competitive company.

We explore opportunities that arise from new technologies and business models, adapting, strengthening and developing Galp beyond its borders.
We think in the long term, and in a disruptive way.
Given the increasing complexity of exploration and production activities, it has been Galp's priority to develop its technological dimension, capitalising on innovative solutions that allow it to create value in the projects in which it participates, but also on the possibility of licensing and extending the use of these technologies to other projects, with the aim of creating an additional source of value.
During 2017, we initiated and gave continuity to a set of projects around seven technological programmes:
In Brazil, 22 research projects were presented to ANP, of which six are focused on the extraction and reuse of CO2 in our hydrocarbon production projects in the pre-salt of the Santos basin.
These projects aim to assess the increase of the oil recovery factor through the reinjection of CO2, the use of CO2 as a raw material in industrial processes, the development of a sustainable and competitive solution for the separation of CO2 and the optimisation of the equipment to be used, mitigating potential effects of corrosion, among others.
Galp is developing a cognitive computing system applied to seismic interpretation in partnership with an international reference entity.
The main purpose of the project is to develop a cognitive system prototype that increases the seismic data interpretation capacity of geoscientists through combining physical models, visual analysis and computer vision techniques, integrated with the acquired knowledge.
The application of big data may contribute to increased productivity and accelerate the learning curve. It may also reduce the exploration risk by improving the quality of interpretations.
As reference operators in Portugal we have been analysing and fostering new energy models for mobility. Although the long-term penetration rate of electric vehicles (EVs) is uncertain, it may accelerate in a regulatory scenario that is more favourable to the decarbonisation of the economy.
In this context, we continued to expand the electric vehicles fast-charging network, which we expect to reach a total of 36 fast-charging points installed by 2018, 18 of which were already in operation at the end of 2017, in partnership with Mobi.e and with the main car brands.
This dynamic reinforces the strategy to support sustainable mobility, which includes expanding the supply of energy through the LPG network and the introduction of NGV.
Anticipating opportunities, we analysed new business models backed by digital solutions. We have developed a customer-centric approach by redesigning our digital offering with a set of websites that are segmented according to the needs of the final customer.
In the oil products marketing business, we have opened up direct channels for customer relationship, including a new mobile application dedicated to the retail customer.
In the G&P business, we acquired a 25% stake in a start-up in Spain that, through a digital platform, will enable the combined offer of gas, electricity and services in a more agile way. In Iberia, we highlight the launch of a new technology platform that will increase operational efficiency and improve customer experience.
In this 'smart world' in which we live in, the efficient management of consumption linked to technology emerges as an opportunity. Created 10 years ago, the university cooperation programme Galp 21 supports two dozen students annually to carry out an energy diagnosis in companies and to propose more rational solutions and behaviours. The programme – previously called Galp 20-20-20 – is the largest of its kind in Portugal and has already benefited 213 grantees since 2007.
In 2017, 116 measures were proposed, of which 21% were adopted by the participating entities. These measures will lead to a reduction of 10% in annual primary energy consumption and 9% in annual CO2 emissions. Since its beginning, this program allowed energy savings of €2.8m to our customers.
From 2018 onwards, the programme is expected to start addressing the challenge of the circular economy, with projects that promote the rational use of all resources, and not just energy.

Our values are guided by the principles of diversity and equal opportunities, total opposition to any practice of discrimination, and the promotion of a culture of social integration.
We have been part of the Business Forum for Gender Equality (IGEN) since 2014, an initiative of the Portuguese Commission for Equality in Labour and Employment (CITE). We have been making commitments in this context, having in 2017 approved the Plan for Equality for 2018, with the commitment to:
In 2017, we also held a series of conferences on diversity and gender equality, addressing how organisations are managing these issues.
In Spain, for example, we are among the 30 most commited companies to diversity and gender equality according to Intrama, a human resources consultant who prepares an annual study on Spanish businesses.
In addition to the gender equality, we are committed to a young talent attraction policy that largely results from our proximity to the academic world. The focus is on the Generation Galp trainee programme, which identifies and develops young people with high potential. In addition to several activities aimed at promoting the culture and values of the Company, this programme simultaneously manages the expectations for the future through career development plans and training. Around 90% of the trainees from the last two programmes remained in the Company after the first year.

Proposal for Galp allocation of results
Our people

Galp has earned the distinct honor of being one of the world's top energy companies, a Thomson Reuters 2017 Top 100 Global Energy Leader. This recognition honors companies that have demonstrated a commitment to energy leadership across eight pillars of performance: Financial, Management and Investor Confidence, Risk and Resilience, Legal Compliance, Innovation, People and Social Sustainability, Environmental Impact, and Reputation.
In an increasingly competitive context, in which retention of talent is a decisive factor, we ensure the training and development of our human capital.
Our performance assessment process is based on continuous feedback, favouring a 360° evaluation, particularly for managers with leadership functions, including middle management. This means that each employee is evaluated by their managers, their team and their peers.
The assessment includes individual and team performance goals, aligned with the strategic business objectives. It also includes behavioural skills, ensuring that employees can identify themselves with, and embrace the Company's culture and values.
In order for each employee to be able to respond to the demand levels presented by the new challenges, we define personalised and individual development programmes focused on their personal and professional growth path. To this end, we ensure adequate succession plans and frame development opportunities in our strategic challenges.
We provide the conditions for each employee to achieve their maximum potential and enable a career progression according to their ambitions. Mapping High Potential, aimed at high-potential employees, and Galp Leap, aimed at management, are just two examples of the plans we have been implementing.
In addition, we develop the skills of our people, either through on-the-job training, through practice in the work context, or through formal courses, thus ensuring the adaptation to a constantly changing world.

Manuela Simões, Serra do Açor - Portugal, 2017
To further complement this, we promote recognition, namely through peer credits, in which colleagues can compliment each other, in an organic and spontaneous manner through the Got It programme.
We have developed several training programmes in order to develop the skills of our teams.
Advanced management training programme that complements the training of senior management and young people with high potential in the fields of advanced management, energy and behaviour. The main objective of this project is to prepare the employees for functions of increasing responsibility within the Company, also promoting internal networking. Since its launch in 2010, 854 employees (management level) have been involved in the programme.
Programme focused on the retail activity of the R&M business with the objective of improving operational performance. It started in 2017, covering 2,500 employees in 400 service stations.
A higher education programme developed by the Institute of Oil and Gas (ISPG) in partnership with the Scottish University Heriot-Watt (HWU) that offers a learning experience strongly based on the specific needs of the oil and gas industry and, in particular, on Galp's ambitious portfolio of exploration and production projects. This programme, launched in 2014 and now in its 4th edition, has already 71 graduates.
Galp's relationship with its employees is grounded in its ability to hear and act on their opinions and concerns, in particular through an annual climate survey. This tool, which has been revised to address diversity issues, evaluates the employees' commitment, satisfaction and motivation. In 2017, about 60% of employees responded to the survey. The majority of our employees feel that Galp provides a work-life balance, and that their work is recognised and rewarded.

We produce and deliver energy responsibly, protecting the environment, people and assets. This commitment, included in our Health, Safety and Environmental Policy, promotes continuous performance improvement, maximisation of the positive impact from our activities, and the consequent minimisation of the negative impact.
We promote the preservation of resources and we are committed with the transition to a low carbon economy. We are focused on the energy efficiency of our operations and the reduction of its carbon intensity. These objectives are reflected in the decision-making process of each project that we design and execute and which fit in our action policy: contribute to meeting the energy needs of the future, delivering energy in a responsible, efficient and profitable way.
We set objectives and targets based on the relevance of operations and their effects on the environment. We work to:
| Indicator | Units | Performance 2018 | Target |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standardised total water consumption per treated or processed feedstock | m3/ton | 0.54 | 0.53 |
| Standardised NOx emissions per treated or processed feedstock | g/ton | 93 | 84 |

To achieve these goals, we believe that adopting models inspired by the circular economy, and through partnerships, may be one of the keys to success in reducing the global environmental footprint.
This approach represents an opportunity to increase the Company's competitiveness, anticipate and manage risks through the redesign of processes and products, the development and implementation of new business models and the optimisation of resources.
We incorporate and assess environmental, safety and health requirements from the design phase of an operation to its completion.
We are committed to environmental protection through the efficient use of resources, and monitor our performance to this end.
We periodically monitor and assess the environmental impacts and risks of our operations in all the geographies where we are present, having established mitigation and protection plans to this end.

The process safety is at the heart of accident prevention, thus we monitor and analyse the process safety events occurring in our facilities. The safety of our operations is embedded on our culture and assumed by the top management, being reflected in the incorporation of the industry's best practices and in the setting of transversal objectives and goals.

We act in accordance with the best practices in the area of health in order to protect our human capital, from employees to service providers, to the benefit of the communities where we operate.
In 2017, we launched several initiatives within the scope of occupational health, ensuring medical surveillance of all employees and the prevention of new occupational risks arising from new production processes and also from the working conditions in new geographies.
We promote health and well-being, trying to minimise the impacts of population aging, of more sedentary lifestyles and high levels of stress, or of any other factor specific to the geographical areas where we are present, such as epidemics, contagious diseases and risk behaviours.
We monitor how we meet our commitments through internal and external audits. In 2017, 40 Environment, Quality, Safety and Energy (EQSE) audits were carried out, corresponding to an implementation rate of 97%, involving 50 internal auditors and 33 external auditors.

We extend our practices along our supply chain by establishing policies and principles with which our suppliers commit, because it is through partnerships that we are able to strengthen the results that we aspire to achieve regarding the protection our people, environment and assets.
Indicators relating to the supply chain's characterisation and performance.
The communities and the environment that surround our operations in the 11 countries where we are present are of the utmost importance. We play an influential role in local sustainable development, promoting the well-being of the population through social projects namely aimed at providing access to energy and education.
We are committed to the socioeconomic development of the surrounding communities, creating a relationship of trust and ongoing dialogue. This is how we build the success of our operations, minimising risk and sharing value.
These principles are enshrined in our Corporate Social Responsability Policy, available on our website.
Our involvement in the communities is guided by a policy of respect and promotion of human rights, to which we encourage our partners and suppliers to adhere to. This commitment is reflected in the Code of Ethics and Conduct and in the Human Rights Policy, available in our website, and ensures the defence and promotion of human rights in all geographies where we operate, promoting the continuous improvement of the tools that support its application.
In 2017, Galp promoted a human rights assessment in the locations where it operates, defining a risk matrix for each country that will be taken into account for purposes of engaging with local partners during the life cycle of projects.
In the same year, Galp became a member of the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights organisation, which disseminates the best practices on this topic to companies in the industry.
Among the several projects that have an impact on the communities' development, we highlight two due to their impact:
As the major driver from human development, education deserves a special attention and is the target of projects such as Mission UP, Power UP and Switch UP. These programmes target Portuguese parents, teachers and students, focusing on changing behaviours related to waste, and promoting more efficient energy consumption habits.

In 2017, Galp signed a tripartite protocol between the Mozambican institution Fundo Nacional de Energia (Funae, National Energy Fund), the Galp Foundation and Galp, for the installation of solar photovoltaic systems in rural communities in the country, providing them with affordable energy. The project was chosen based on the evaluation of 105 competing projects promoted by 25 different entities within the scope of the Community Investment Plan in Mozambique.
Galp is committed to continuously improve performance in community investment, considering the long-term shared value creation and alignment with the defined strategy, having developed a Community Investment Policy which can be found on our website, where we assume the challenge of being a reference partner to the communities where we have activity, with the aim of promoting their social and economic development.
Galp's involvement with the communities where it operates goes beyond the direct investment in projects that benefit the populations in the areas of education, well-being and the environment.
We also promote citizenship actions through the Galp Voluntária project, which provides annually a time bank for employee volunteering.

In the last two years we have supported many volunteer actions. We highlight the Terra de Esperança movement, a partnership between the Galp Foundation and the National Association of Forestry, Agriculture and Environment Companies (ANEFA) to reforest areas that were affected by the forest fires in Portugal, through Galp's donation of 500 thousand trees of native species to the association.
As part of this initiative, we supported the largest environmental volunteer action ever undertaken in Portugal, involving around 600 people, among employees, partners and family members in the plantation of 7,500 trees over 8 hectares of burnt forest. We have also developed a digital platform that will allow this action to be extended to the whole Portuguese community who wish to join this initiative.
With full transparency, Galp assesses the social impact of its projects, monitoring its return in benefit of the community. We have been members of the London Benchmarking Group since 2012.

5.2.
RCA Ebitda amounted to €913 m, up €419 m YoY, benefiting from increased production and higher average sale price, which reached \$47.6/boe, compared to \$37.7/boe in 2016.
Production costs increased €76 m YoY to €242 m, due to the higher number of operating units in Brazil. In unit terms and on a net entitlement basis, production costs were \$8.2/boe.
Amortisations, depreciation charges and abandonment provisions RCA amounted to €356 m, up €101 m YoY, reflecting the production growth. On a net entitlement basis, unit depreciation charges were \$12.0/boe, in line with the previous year.
In 2017, RCA results were impacted, among others, by a €22 m write-off relating to the abandonment of exploration assets in Portugal and €23 m related to exploration assets in block 14/14k in Angola.
RCA Ebit stood at €507 m and IFRS Ebit increased to €483 m. Non-recurring items of €23 m resulted mainly from an impairment from production assets in block 14 in Angola.
Ebitda RCA for the R&M business increased €209 m to €785 m, supported by the market environment and by the refineries' operational availability.
Galp's refining margin was \$5.8/boe, compared to \$4.3/boe the previous year. The spread to benchmark margin was \$1.6/boe, as the Company captured a premium from gasoline exports to the USA, mainly during the third quarter.
Refining cash costs stood at €173 m, in line YoY. In unit terms, cash costs were \$1.7/boe.
Refining margin hedging operations had a negative impact in Ebitda of €24 m during the year.
The marketing of oil products business benefited from the economic recovery in Iberia. The activity's contribution in Africa increased driven by higher volumes sold.
Depreciation charges and provisions RCA totalled €367 m, up €48 m YoY, following the revision of the useful life of certain refining assets at the end of 2016.
RCA Ebit was €418 m, while IFRS Ebit increased to €507 m. The inventory effect was €111 m.
RCA Ebitda was €141 m, down €172 m YoY, reflecting the deconsolidation of GGND.
Ebitda RCA for the natural gas segment decreased €90 m YoY to €104 m, due to the lower contribution from the trading activity and to the negative impact from sourcing restrictions during the first quarter of 2017.
Ebitda RCA for the power business rose €18 m YoY to €37 m, as the previous year had been affected by lower cogeneration performance and by the lag in the natural gas purchase price indexes and the energy sold.
RCA Ebit decreased €141 m YoY to €112 m. IFRS Ebit was €119 m, compared to €251 m in the previous year.
RCA results from associated companies related to the G&P business reached €98 m, up €27 m YoY, on the back of the incorporation of GGND in this caption since the fourth quarter of 2016.

In 2017, RCA turnover increased 16% YoY to €15,204 m, mainly driven by the increase in the price of commodities and higher upstream production.
Operating costs RCA increased 14% during the period, and stood at €13,335 m, mainly due to the 13% increase in the cost of goods sold RCA. The 23% increase in the RCA cost of supply and services is mainly attributable to the increased production in Brazil.
RCA Ebitda was €1,869 m in 2017, up 32% YoY, supported by the performance of the E&P and R&M businesses. IFRS Ebitda was €1,980 m.
RCA Ebit went up €291 m to €1,063 m, while IFRS Ebit totalled €1,135 m.
RCA results from associated companies increased €65 m to €150 m, due to an increased contribution from the companies related to the E&P and G&P activities.
Financial results RCA were negative €28 m, in line with the previous year.
RCA taxes increased €201 m to €490 m, with taxes on oil and gas production reaching €239 m.
Non-controlling interests RCA, mainly attributable to Sinopec's stake in Petrogal Brasil, reached €92 m.
RCA net income attributable to the shareholders reached €602 m, while IFRS net income attributable to the shareholders was €614 m. The inventory effect was €96 m and non-recurring items accounted for €92 m.
CESE in Portugal had a negative impact on IFRS results of around €64 m. This provision related to CESE results from the strict applicability of accounting standards. However, in Galp's opinion, based on the opinion of renowned legal experts, the laws regarding CESE have no legal grounds and, accordingly, such amounts are not due.

During 2017, capital expenditure reached €1.0 bn, considering the Carcará North signing bonus.
E&P accounted for 84% of the total, of which development activities in Brazil accounted for c.76%.
As part of the exploration and appraisal activities, in addition to the reinforcement of the Brazilian pre-salt portfolio through the acquisition of a 20% stake in Carcará North, it is also worth highlighting the 3D seismic data acquisition programme in Sao Tome and Principe, which was completed during the third quarter of 2017.
The capital expenditure in downstream activities reached €153 m, and was mainly aimed at refinery maintenance activities, downstream network development and programs to improve the customer experience.

The Group's net debt at the end of 2017 stood at €1,886 m, in line YoY. The net debt to Ebitda RCA ratio stood at 1.0x.

The average interest rate was 3.46% during the year.
During the fourth quarter, the issuance of €500 m debt securities with a 5-year maturity under the EMTN programme, with a coupon of 1%, should be highlighted.
At the end of the year, around 60% of total debt was on a fixed-rate basis. Debt had an average maturity of 2.5 years, and medium and long-term debt accounted for 82% of total debt.
At the end of 2017, Galp had unused credit lines of approximately €1.3 bn. Of this amount, around 70% was contractually guaranteed.

The Board of Directors has the typical powers of Company's management set forth in corporate legislation for the respective corporate governance model. The By-laws do not provide for any special powers for the Board of Directors, including with respect to the increase of Company's share capital.
The annual General Shareholders Meeting held in 2017 granted the Board of Directors the power to acquire and dispose of Company treasury shares and bonds. The timing and size of transactions are determined depending on market conditions and a set of criteria defined and approved by the General Shareholders Meeting, which are available on the Galp's website http://www.galp.com/Portals/0/ Recursos/Investidores/SharedResources/Assembleias/ EN/2017AG/Item\_9.pdf
On 31 December 2017, Galp held no treasury shares or bonds.
In 2017, there were no significant relationships of a commercial nature between owners of qualifying holdings and Galp.
a) Composition of the Board of the General Shareholders Meeting
Under Article 11(2) of the By-laws, the Board of the General Shareholders Meeting consists of a Chairman, Vice-Chairman and Secretary, elected by the General Shareholders Meeting
The members of the Board of the General Shareholders Meeting elected for 2015-2018, starting on 16 April 2015 and ending on 31 December 2018, are the following:
Chairman: Daniel Proença de Carvalho Vice-Chairman: Victor Manuel Pereira Dias Secretary: Maria Helena Claro Goldschmidt
The By-laws enshrine the "one share, one vote" principle, with no provisions or other legal instruments restricting exercising of voting rights.
Galp has not established any mechanism to create a discrepancy between the right to receive dividends or subscribe new securities and the voting rights of each share.
The right to vote is exercised pursuant to Article 10(1) of the By-laws, accordingly with the shareholders rights directive. Therefore any shareholder may participate, discuss and vote at the General Shareholders Meeting in person or by proxy, according to the following requirements:
The exercise of these rights is not affected by the transfer of the shares at any time after 00:00 (WEST) on the date of registration and is not affected by any blocking between that date and the date of the General Shareholders Meeting. In any case, shareholders who, having declared their intention to participate in the General Shareholders Meeting, transfer ownership of shares between 00:00 on the date of registration and closure of the General Shareholders Meeting shall immediately inform the Chairman of the Board of the General Shareholders Meeting and the CMVM.
Article 10(6) to (9) of the By-laws permits voting by mail, without any restrictions.
The right of postal vote may be exercised electronically, in accordance with the requirements defined by the Chairman of the Board of the General Shareholders Meeting, when notification is sent of each General Shareholders Meeting, to guarantee authenticity and confidentiality.
The By-laws do not provide any limitation on the voting rights that may be exercised by a single shareholder or shareholders in any of the relationships with such shareholder established in Article 20 of the Securities Code.
The resolutions of the General Shareholders Meeting are passed by simple majority of the votes cast, except where the law or By-laws require a qualified majority. Abstentions do not count in voting on resolutions of the General Shareholders Meeting.
Pursuant to the By-laws, a qualified majority of two-thirds of the votes cast is only required for the following matters:
In relation to the resolutions of the General Shareholders Meeting on the matters referred to in b) and c) or other matters for which the law requires a qualified majority, the deliberating quorum of two-thirds of the votes is necessary in both the first and the second call, even if shareholders holding at least half of the capital are present or represented, in order to ensure an adequate representation of shareholders when passing resolutions about matters that are strategic for the Company.
Galp's corporate governance model uses a management structure comprising of a Board of Directors, an Executive Committee, a strengthened supervisory framework including the Audit Board and the Statutory Auditor, and a Company Secretary providing specialist support to the Company's corporate bodies.
Galp's corporate bodies are the ones that are mandatory for companies with shares listed in a regulated market and which adopt the one-tier model under Article 278(1)(a), Article 413(1)(b) and (2)(a) and Article 446(A)(1) of the CSC.
Galp's governance model is designed to ensure the transparency and effectiveness of the Group through a clear separation of powers between the different corporate bodies. Whilst the Board of Directors exercises oversight, definition and supervision of strategic guidelines, as well as the management supervision and of relations between shareholders and other corporate bodies, the duties of the Executive Committee, delegated by the Board of Directors, are operational in nature and entail the day-to-day management of business and corporate services.
The existence of matters that are the exclusive remit of the Board of Directors ensures that this body defines and monitors Galp's strategic guidelines.
The allocation of responsibility for coordinating specific management areas of the Executive Committee to each of its members, which can be seen at section 29 of this chapter, without prejudice to the collective nature of the exercise of management functions by this body, promotes the effective monitoring of the Company's management and the use of synergies within each business unit and in the Company as a whole.
The Chairman of the Board of Directors has authority and responsibilities, in addition to those provided by law, Bylaws and regulations, to coordinate and supervise relations between the Company and its shareholders, in accordance with the Company's objectives, the long-term shareholders' interests and ensuring the sustainable development of Galp's business.
Under the legal provisions applicable to the relationship between the non-executive members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee, namely in respect of monitoring by non-executive members of the Executive Committee's activity, in accordance with Article 407(8) of the CSC, the Chairman of the Board of Directors has the right to attend the meetings of the Executive Committee.
The Audit Board is responsible for exercising the oversight functions of Company's business in five key areas:
(i) supervision of the Company's activity;
(ii) control of the Company's financial information; (iii) oversight of the internal risk management, internal control and internal auditing systems; and (iv) receipt (and processing) of whistle blowing; and
(v) auditor independence protection.
The Statutory Auditor is responsible for control of the Company's financial information.
The members of the Board of Directors, including the Chairman, are appointed and replaced by the General Shareholders Meeting.
The shareholders also annually decide on the continuity of each director in the event of a positive appraisal of their performance, by vote of praise and/or confidence. The absence of a positive annual appraisal, through the attribution of a vote of no confidence, leads to the dismissal of the director in question, in accordance with the law.
In the event of permanent absence or impediment of any member of the Board of Directors, this body shall proceed to co-opt a replacement member and must submit this proposal for endorsement by the next general shareholders meeting.
The members of the Board of Directors are appointed for a term of four calendar years, with the year of appointment counting as a full year and may be re-elected one or more times. Members of the Board of Directors take office at the time of appointment and remain in office until the
nomination, co-option or appointment of a substitute, except that a member who has resigned or has been removed, remains in office for the period established in the CSC.
In view of the national legal framework, which attributes to the shareholders the power to elect the members of the Board of Directors and limits the participation of the Board of Directors on matters of shareholders' competence, Galp doesn't have a nomination committee. In fact, such committee couldn't replace competency of the shareholders, according to Article 391 of CSC.
Usually, the Company has been involved in identification and selection processes of specific profiles to different management positions using international companies that are reputed and specialised in executive selection.
Members of the Board of Directors are elected from a list, with an indication of the proposing shareholders, with the vote only applying to the full list and not to every single one of its members, as provided by law.
Minority shareholders that, either individually or as an established group, have a voting interest in the Company of at least 10% and not greater than 20%, have the right to individually nominate one director, as per the following terms of Article 14(2) of the By-laws:
If no list is submitted under the above provisions, or when the above procedure is concluded, the other directors are elected, including the Chairman of the Board of Directors. The shareholders who voted successfully in favour of the director, proposed under the procedure outlined in the preceding paragraphs, may not participate in this election.
The other directors, including the Chairman of the Board of Directors, are elected by a vote from any lists submitted for this purpose, with the proposal obtaining the highest number of votes in favour being deemed approved.
If the approved proposal includes the maximum number of directors allowed by the By-laws, and a director has been elected under the procedure referred to in Article 14(2) of the By-laws, the director thus elected shall replace the person appearing in 13th place in the proposal that has been successful. If the approved proposal does not include the maximum number of directors allowed by the By-laws, the director elected under the procedure referred to in a) to d) above is added to the number of directors elected under the terms above mentioned.
For the purposes of the replacement of the directors' scheme due to permanent absence, in accordance with Article 393(1) of the CSC, the By-laws state that a director is deemed permanently absent when, without justification accepted by the Board of Directors, s/he misses three consecutive meetings or five non-consecutive meetings.
In accordance with the By-laws, if the proposal for the election of directors (except the director to be elected by the minority shareholders) is not approved by a majority of 55% of votes cast and with at least 40% of the share capital with voting rights, the shareholders that: (i) are qualified to participate in this election (not having voted in the election of the director appointed by the minority shareholders); (ii) have voted against that proposal or in favour of a proposal that has not been successful; and (iii) hold, themselves or in a group formed for this purpose, shares representing at least 25% of the share capital with voting rights, may submit and vote on proposals, electing among themselves a number corresponding to one third of the elected directors (not including the director elected by the minority shareholders who, by themselves or grouped with others for this purpose, are holders of share capital with voting rights of at least 10% and not greater than 20% under the above terms).
If the total number of elected directors is not divisible by three, the number of directors to be elected will be rounded up to the next whole number. Directors elected under this procedure automatically replace those who are in the final places of the initially approved list.
In accordance with the By-laws, the Board of Directors has a minimum of 19 and maximum of 23 directors who are appointed for four year terms.
The current 19 members of the Board of Directors, elected at the General Shareholders Meeting of 16 April 2015 for the four-year term 2015-2018 are listed in the following table.

18.1 The independence of the members of the General and Supervisory Board and members of Audit Board shall be determined in accordance with the applicable law and, as regards the other members of the Board of Directors, those who are not associated with any specific interest group within the company, nor under any circumstances capable of affecting their impartiality of analysing or decision-making is considered to be independent, particularly with regard to the following:
On 31 December 2017, the Board of Directors had 12 nonexecutive members (who remain in office on this date), among 19, corresponding to 63% of the total number of directors, which is an adequate number, given in particular Galp's shareholder structure and capital dispersion. The non-executive members engage in monitoring activities and continuous evaluation of the Company´s management to ensure effective capacity for monitoring, supervision, oversight and evaluation of the activity of the executive members.
The composition of the Board of Directors distributed between executive and non-executive members is in the next table:
| Executive directors | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carlos Gomes da Silva | ||||||||
| Filipe Crisóstomo Silva | ||||||||
| Thore E. Kristiansen | ||||||||

Considering the criteria to determine the independence of non-executive members of the Board of Directors above mentioned and, based on their self-assessment for financial year 2017, the Board of Directors had the following five independent directors:
| Non-executive independente directors |
|---|
| Miguel Athayde Marques |
| Sérgio Gabrielli de Azevedo |
| Abdul Magid Osman |
| Luís Todo Bom |
| Joaquim Borges Gouveia |
Given the Company's governance model, shareholder structure and respective free float, Galp believes that the proportion of independent directors (42% of the non-executive members of the Board of Directors) is suitable given the number of executive directors and the total number of directors.
The Board of Directors decided to assign two non-executive independent members, Sérgio Gabrielli and Abdul Magid Osman, the special charge of monitoring the evolution of the Brazil and Mozambique markets, respectively, to ensure a detailed strategic analysis of these two central geographical markets for the Company´s activity.
On 14 October 2016, Galp reinforced the participation of independent directors in the Board of Directors with the appointment of the independent non-executive director since 2012 and with a respected professional career in the financial sector, Miguel Athayde Marques, to the role of Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors.
The members of the Board of Directors have acknowledged skills, variety of academic backgrounds and professional experience, as shown in the table below, which evinces diversity within the Board of Directors, in line with the diversity policy of the Board of Directors and Audit Board.

The Diversity Policy of the Board of Directors and Audit Board, approved by the Board of Directors can be seen on Galp's web site https://www.galp.com/Portals/0/Recursos/Governo-Societario/SharedResources/Documentos/EN/Diversity\policy\_for\ the\board\_of\_directors\_and\_audit\_board\-\Versao\_publicada\-\_EN.pdf
Galp commits, according with the competences of each body, to develop tending efforts to promote diversity in its Board of Directors and Audit Board, particularly in the following criteria: age, gender, geographical origin, academic background and professional experience, Galp recognises the benefits of diversity in the core of its Board of Directors and Audit Board, as a way to ensure better balance in its composition, enhance the performance of its members, reinforce the quality of the decision making and control processes, avoid the Group thinking effect and contribute to our sustainable development.
The current Board of Directors has appropriate and necessary diversity in light of the activities pursued by the Company and the strategy defined for the coming years, including in terms of origin and backgrounds. In fact, the Board includes members with origin from the countries where Galp is present – Portugal, Brazil, Angola and Mozambique.
In order to strengthen the competencies of the members of the Board of Directors, and ensure the adequate knowledge and monitoring by the non-executive members of the activities pursued by the business units, in 2017 it was implemented a knowledge development annual plan, having the members of the Board of Directors participated in training initiatives on Galp's businesses and on governance issues.
The implementation of diversity policy began with its approval by the Board of Directors on December 15, 2017, and its results will be reported in the governance report for 2019, the year in which the next General Elective Meeting of Galp will be held.

The Company's business segments are Exploration & Production's, Refining & Marketing and Gas & Power. For more detail see chapter 1.2 (Value Chain) of this report.
The Company's organisational model also foresees the existence of specialised committees as presented below.
The Ethics and Conduct Committee (CEC) is the independent and impartial internal structure responsible for monitoring the implementation and interpretation of the Code of Ethics and Conduct, as defined in the respective Regulation. The CEC is also responsible for receiving and processing information sent to it under the Reporting of Irregularities Procedure ("Open Talk" Ethics Line) in force in Galp and affiliated companies, relating to alleged violations of the provisions of the Code of Ethics and Conduct or its implementing regulations or rules that deal with the topics listed therein, in the fields of accounting, internal accounting controls, auditing and the fight against bribery, banking and financial crime.
The Audit Board is the governing body overseeing the proper operation and implementation of the Code of Ethics and Conduct through the frequent and regular reporting of the CEC.
During the year 2017, the CEC held four meetings for analysing and deciding on forwarding reports of irregularities that were received, and participated in three meetings of the Audit Board, during which the due reports were provided to this body.
The Risk Management Committee's mission is to support and monitor the development and implementation of Galp's risk management strategy and policy, jointly with the Risk Management Department and the heads of the Company's management units, which comprise of the executive director, who is responsible for the risk management Department (Chief Risk Officer), the Head of the Internal Audit Department, the Head of the Risk Management Department and the Chief Financial Officer.
This body met four times during 2017 and addressed the issues identified as most relevant from a risk perspective for the Galp Group, including risk associated with cybersecurity, compliance/reputation, disruptive events, project execution, business continuity, markets, dependence on partners, geopolitical issues, as well as the results from risk assessments that are deepened whenever deemed appropriate.
Within the Risk Management Committee, a working group operates focused on issues related to environment, quality and safety, compliance and regulatory changes. During 2017, the working group focused on the most critical risks in these matters and reported the findings of its evaluation to the committee.
At the level of the various business units works Risk and Credit Committees represented by the Risk Management Department, which participates also in working groups dedicated to the Galp Group's main projects, ensuring the alignment of risk management practices and effective communication with the Risk Management Committee.
The Environment, Quality and Safety (EQS) Board's mission is to assist the Executive Committee in promoting the principles that underpin the EQS culture of Galp by ensuring the implementation of the EQS strategic policies and objectives.
The Board is chaired by the executive director responsible for the EQS and Sustainability Department and secretariat by the head of such department and includes heads of the business units and relevant corporate departments.
In 2017, the EQS Board met twice and addressed the EQS performance (objectives and targets) and monitored the strategic EQS initiatives in the business.
The Board of Directors operates in accordance with the regulations governing organisation and operation approved by this body at its meeting of 16 April 2015, to take effect during the term of 2015-18, in accordance with Article 16 of the By-laws, available on the official Galp website at https://www.galp.com/Portals/0/Recursos/ Governo-Societario/SharedResources/Documentos/EN/ Regulamento\_CA\_EN\_Web.pdf

In accordance with the provisions of Article 16(2) of the Bylaws, the Board of Directors meets ordinarily once a month, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors and whenever convened by the Chairman or by any two directors.
The By-laws allow for the meetings of the Board of Directors to be held by electronic means and allow postal voting.

The Remuneration Committee, elected by the General Meeting, conducts the annual performance review of the executive and non-executive directors according to article 8 of the articles of association.
The Committee consults non-executive members to assess the qualitative performance of the executive members of the Board of Directors and considers compliance with economic, financial and operational objectives, as defined annually in the remuneration policy.
Furthermore, the non-executive members, as part of their oversight role, monitor the performance of the executive directors.
Also, pursuant to Article 376 of the CSC, at each General Shareholders Meeting, the shareholders make a general appreciation of the Company's management in general. That appreciation is expressed through a vote of confidence or distrust that may lead to the removal of the concerned director.
The performance of the executive directors is evaluated based on fulfilment of certain economic, financial and operational objectives, as defined annually by the remuneration policy submitted by the Remuneration Committee and approved by the General Shareholders Meeting.
The predetermined criteria for the performance evaluation of the executive directors for financial year 2017 are set out in section 69 of this Report's chapter.
The positions held by the members of the Board of Directors in other companies inside and outside the Galp Group, and
Proposal for Galp allocation of results
other relevant activities carried out by members of these bodies in the 2017 financial year, are presented in Appendix 8.9 of this report.
In general, the members of the Board of Directors have a high degree of availability to exercise their functions, confirmed by their attendance at the meetings of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee and by their work at Galp as annually certified by the Remuneration Committee under the qualitative performance assessment of the directors.
As is apparent from the table in Appendix 8.9 of this report, the duties exercised by Galp's executive directors in other companies are in the management bodies of Galp's direct or indirect subsidiaries. Accordingly, they are fully available for the positions of executive members of the Board of Directors,
With respect to the non-executive directors with the highest number of positions held in other companies, it is noted that they perform these functions within the same group (Amorim or Américo Amorim Group), which do not prejudice the exercise of positions and functions of monitoring, evaluation and supervision of executive management of Galp.
The legal and bylaw's regime of absences from the meetings of the Board of Directors provides for the removal from office or replacement of the member of the Executive Committee in question by another director, with the other director becoming non-executive.
In addition, Galp has the legal, statutory and regulatory mechanisms to prevent and deal with any conflicts of interest between directors and the Company in the exercise of other positions outside the Galp Group.
Pursuant to Article 398 of the CSC, directors shall not:
In addition, Article 14 of the Board of Directors Regulation establishes special arrangements for access to sensitive
information applicable to members of the Board of Directors in a conflict of interest due to the exercise of an activity in competition with Galp, as authorised by the General Shareholders Meeting.
Also, to protect the Galp Group's interest in possible situations of conflict of interest between the Company and its directors arising from business between them and the Company, or companies in a controlling or Group relationship with Galp, Galp's regulatory standard, governing its Group's transactions with related parties, makes the implementation by Galp of significant transactions with related parties, subject to prior opinion of the Audit Board.
Moreover, the By-laws subordinate special corporate governance procedure to approve any business with shareholders in an amount exceeding €20 million to a deliberation in favour thereof by a qualified majority of two thirds of the directors.
On 16 April 2015, the Board of Directors appointed the Executive Committee consisting of 7 directors, and approved the delegation of powers and regulations that defines the principles and rules of its organisation and operation, which can be viewed on Galp's website at https:// www.galp.com/Portals/0/Recursos/Governo-Societario/ SharedResources/Documentos/EN/Regulamento\CE\_EN\ Web.pdf
The Board of Directors considers that for performance evaluation of management or corporate governance specific committees exclusively composed by non-executive directors are not required.
This understanding is due to the corporate governance model implemented, which, as described in section 15 of this Chapter, includes a Board of Directors that assesses the operation of the governance system and largely consists of non-executive members (including the chairman), who monitor the overall performance of the Board of Directors and whether directors' profiles are appropriate for the exercise of their duties. In this context, it should also be noted that there is: A Remuneration Committee, which evaluates the performance of executive directors with the support of non-executive directors; and an Audit Board, which analyses the structure and governance practices adopted in order to verify their effectiveness. In addition, certain corporate governance matters are widely discussed in the Sustainability Committee.
At Galp, management for sustainability is deemed strategic and involves the incorporation of principles, approaches and practices that favour the long-term value creation component. It, therefore, involves managing the creation of sustainable and lasting value that generates confidence in the future for the various stakeholders.
With the aim of creating sustainable value, in 2012 the Sustainability Committee was set up with a mission to ensure the integration of sustainability principles in the management of the Group, by promoting best industry practices in all business and corporate areas.
The Committee is chaired by the independent vicechairman of the Board of Directors, while its permanent members are the Chairman of the Executive Committee, the executive director who coordinates the area of sustainability, the chief financial officer, the head of EQS and Sustainability Department the heads of the business areas and relevant corporate departments.
This body reports directly to the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee.
In 2017, the Sustainability Committee met four times with the agendas covering the following matters:
Galp's Executive Committee currently consists of the following seven directors:
The Executive Committee is the body responsible for Galp's ongoing management, in accordance with the strategic guidelines defined by the Board of Directors and under the powers delegated to it by the Board, pursuant to Articles 17 and 18 of the By-laws and Article 407(3) and (4) of the CSC, and with the following limits:
Proposal for Galp allocation of results
The following are not delegated to the Executive Committee:
a) choosing the Chief Executive Officer;
g) deciding on merger, demerger and transformation projects of the Company.
The following are not considered ongoing Company management powers and are therefore not delegated to the Executive Committee:
a) approval of the strategic investments of the Company and its controlled companies and approval of the financing thereof;
Notwithstanding the limits on the delegation of powers referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 above, the Executive Committee has a special duty of initiative and proposal, to the Board of Directors, in respect of the acts and matters referred to in section 2 above.
At the meeting of the Board of Directors held on 16 April 2015, the chairman of the Executive Committee defined a functional allocation, among the members of the Executive Committee, in respect of the business and activities of the Company and Group companies, under the terms set forth in its Regulations, notwithstanding the collective exercise of the powers of this body, as mentioned in the following page.

For matters of the ongoing management in the context of the requests of the operators of the various oil exploration blocks in which Galp is involved, including the development plans of the blocks and the approved budget and action plans, the Executive Committee delegated approval of the respective decisions, namely Authorization for expenditures, Cash Calls and Ballots to the executive directors Thore Kristiansen, Filipe Crisóstomo Silva and José Carlos Silva.
A range of mechanisms were adopted to ensure effective and efficient monitoring and control by the non-executive members of the activity of the Executive Committee and to facilitate the related duty to inform.
In fact, in accordance with the Regulations of the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Executive Committee regularly informs the Chairman of the Board of Directors about the agenda of the meetings of the Executive Committee, the decisions taken in its meetings and other matters deemed relevant for the proper use of the powers and responsibilities of the Board of Directors. The Chairman of the Board of Directors and any other two non-executive directors may ask directly the Chairman of the Executive Committee for information on the business of the Executive Committee.
The calls and minutes of the meetings of the Executive Committee are sent to the Chairman of the Board of Directors and to the Chairman of the Audit Board.
Proposal for Galp allocation of results
In accordance with its regulations, the Executive Committee must meet once a week. In 2017, it met 43 times.
The main activities performed by the Executive Committee during 2017 in the exercise and within the limits of its responsibilities involve, among other things:
The description of the powers of the Sustainability Committee and a summary of activities undertaken in exercising such powers is provided in the previous section.
(Audit Board, Audit Committee or General and Supervisory Board)
According to the adopted government model, the Audit Board is the body in charge of supervising the Company.
Pursuant to Article 413(1)(b) of the CSC, since Galp is a public company, its financial statements have to be examined by Statutory Auditors, who is not a member of the Audit Board., with their responsibilities stated in Article 446 of the CSC.
Under the By-laws, the Audit Board consists of three permanent members and one substitute member, elected by the General Shareholders Meeting, which will also elect its chairman.
The members of the Audit Board are elected for a fouryear term, together with the members of the remaining corporate bodies.
The following table lists the members of the Audit Board, elected at the General Shareholders Meeting on 16 April 2015 for the term of 2015-2018, their appointment dates and the end date of their term.
| Name | Position | Date of first appointment | Term end date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daniel Bessa | Chairman | 2006.10.05 | 2018.12.31 |
| Gracinda Raposo | Member | 2011.05.30 | 2018.12.31 |
| Pedro Antunes de Almeida | Member | 2012.11.23 | 2018.12.31 |
| Amável Calhau | Alternate member | 2006.10.05 | 2018.12.31 |
Under Article 414 (5) of the CSC, any member of the Audit Board is considered independent if s/he is not associated with any specific interest group in the Company and is not in a situation that might affect his/her exemption from analysis or decision making, namely because:
The Audit Board currently has two independent members: Gracinda Raposo and Pedro Antunes de Almeida. As for the Chairman of the Audit Board, his appointment to complete the 2005-2007 term occurred following changes in the shareholder structure of Galp and rules agreed upon by the shareholders regarding the election of the members of the corporate bodies (Shareholders' Agreement, entered into in 2006 and terminated in 2015). In this sense, the 2008-2010 term should be considered as the first appointment. Taking the above into account and considering the recognised and prestigious reputation and business and scientific quality of the Chairman of the Audit Board, his independence must also be recognised.
The members of the Audit Board have professional skills and qualifications suitable for their roles. Each member's professional profile is presented in Appendix 8.8 of this report.
The powers of the Audit Board and its operating rules are defined in its Regulations, approved on 16 April, 2015 and available on the Galp website at https://www.galp.com/ Portals/0/Recursos/Governo-Societario/SharedResources/ Documentos/EN/Supervisory-board-regulations-2015.pdf

At the proposal of the Audit Board and in the Company's interest in ensuring continuity in the provision of audit services, Galp extended the external audit contract with PricewaterhouseCoopers & Associados – Sociedade de Revisores Oficiais de Contas, Lda. for 2014 and 2015-2018 terms.
Galp's external auditor's rotation policy which has been applied ensures the Audit Board's selection of the external auditor and related statutory auditor partner at the end of three terms through a process of prior consultation with the main internationally renowned auditors for a period of four years corresponding to the corporate bodies term.
Taking into account the aforementioned rotation policy and the recently published legislation on this matter, at the end of the current term (31 December 2018), the new rules of mandatory rotation of the statutory auditor/external auditor will be complied with through a selection by the Audit Board of a new auditor by a tender process already ongoing.
The Audit Board, the contact point in the Company and the first recipient of information prepared by the external auditor, annually evaluates the activity of the external auditor, with a critical appraisal of its reports and other relevant documentation.
The Audit Board represents the Company, for all purposes, before the external auditor and, in accordance with Article 19(4) of the By-laws, is responsible for proposing to the General Shareholders Meeting the appointment of the Statutory Auditor/Company of Statutory Auditors and their remuneration, as well as dismissing them.
The external auditor's specific role in the legal audit and examination of accounts includes checking the application of the policies and systems governing the pay of corporate bodies and effectiveness and operation of the internal control mechanisms, reporting any detected deficiencies to the Audit Board.
The Audit Board ensures that the management organisation of the Company, particularly the relationship with the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee, involves providing the external auditor with the information and other conditions required for the respective service to be performed.
Each year the Audit Board, in its annual business report, shall present an assessment of the external auditor.

When procuring services from the external auditor, sufficient internal procedures are in place to safeguard the independence of the auditors, through careful definition of the work to be procured. In order to safeguard the independence of the external auditor, it is expressly forbidden to purchase any type of service that might compromise such independence.
Service provision proposals submitted by the auditor are analysed and evaluated and, where possible, undergo market consultation and, subsequently, are sent to the Audit Board for approval, as described in section 37.
In 2017, the remuneration paid to the auditor and to other natural or legal persons belonging to the same network was as presented in the following table.

The non-audit services (excluding assurance services) represented 16.3% of the total value of the services provided by the external auditor, therefore below the limit of 30% established in CMVM Recommendation IV.2.
The resolutions of the General Shareholders Meeting on amendments to the By-laws must be approved by a qualified majority of two-thirds of the votes cast (Article 12(4) of the By-laws).
The submission of complaints in Galp is regulated in the Reporting of Irregularities Procedure - Ethics Line, adopted by the Audit Board on 3 December 2015 and distributed internally to all employees via normal means of communication and externally through the official Galp website at http://www.galp.com/en/corporate-governance/ ethics-and-conduct/reporting-of-irregularities

In the Board of Directors meeting conducted on 28 July 2017, it was approved the Internal Control Manual, which follows the COSO – Internal Control Integrated Framework reference mode and establishes the general principles and requirements of the internal control components, as well as the organisational model associated with integrated management of Galp Group internal control, understood
as a set of processes executive by the corporate bodies, specialised committees, internal auditor and by Galp's employees, in order to ensure a reasonable compliance with Galp's objectives related to operations, report and conformity.
At Galp, the organisation and governance structure of internal control and risk management is based on the "three lines of defence" model in accordance with generally accepted best practices, as outlined in the chart below.
The three lines of defense approach enables a consistent relation between internal control and risk management daily activities – assigned to the first line of defense, the risk and controls standardisation and monitoring at group processes level – assigned to the second line of defense, strategic and corporate risk supervision and internal control system supervision assigned to the third line of defense.

Proposal for Galp allocation of results
The Executive Committee is responsable, with the support of the Risk Management Committee, to monitor and supervise the most material risks that the Galp Group faces, identified and described in section 53 of this Chapter, as well as monitor the execution of critical projects from a risk perspective.
The Chief Risk Officer (CRO) is member of the Board of Directors and of the Executive Committee, thus ensuring that discussions of the risk topics are consistent and effective at all levels. The Chief Risk Officer is also Chair of the Risk Management Committee and is responsible for overseeing and coordinating risk assessment processes and respective mitigation actions throughout the organisation, as well as for their adequate management, ensuring that the guidelines of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee are complied with and are reflected in policies and procedures.
The role of the Audit Board is to monitor the effectiveness of the internal control and internal audit systems, as well as to assess annually the functioning of the systems and the respective internal procedures, thus strengthening the internal control environment. Within the framework of its supervisory function, the Audit Board accompanies the work plans and resources entrusted to the Internal Audit Department and the Legal and Governance Department, which is the recipient of periodic reports made by these departments, as well as information on matters related to accountability, identification or resolution of conflicts of interest and the detection of potential illegalities.
The relationship model between the bodies, departments and committees responsible for the implementation of internal control systems favours the centralised management of the risks at the level of the Risk Management Department. This department is responsible for defining, monitoring and evaluating risks and mitigation measures in alignment with approved policies and strategies by ensuring the consistency of the principles, concepts, methodologies and tools for the risk assessment and risk management of all the business units and companies of the Galp Group and ensure the effective implementation of the risk management system, through the relation with the executive committee, risk management committee and business units focal points and Group companies.
The working group within the Risk Management Committee which is engaged with issues related to EQS, including climate change, compliance and regulatory changes, ensuring due integration of these matters into the Company's risk management system.
The Local Risk Officers support the business units risk "owners" in identifying, evaluating and managing the risks in the respective business units, in light of the defined risk management standards. They are also responsible for incorporating risk information in their decision-making process, ensuring compliance with the risk management policies and procedures. Furthermore, they are responsible for compiling, reporting and publishing information on exposure to risk in their business unit.
The Department of Legal and Governance monitors the internal control system through the performance of internal inquiries, audits or risk assessments in ethics and compliance matters such as bribery and corruption, money laundering and terrorism financed, fraud, conflict of interest, political, economic and financial sanctions, and other restricted measures, compliance with markets and financial regulation, as well performing ethics and compliance due diligence to partners and relevant transactions; defines controls on ethics and compliance matters and assess its performance in the diverse Galp's business units, as well as develops special projects in order for Galp to comply with ethical and regulatory matters.
As noted and described above, all Galp's management structures are responsible for the implementation of the risk control process in the course of their activities.
In addition to those described in the previous sections, note that, for example, the Department of EQS and Sustainability, the Department of Information Systems and the planning and control areas are also involved in the risk control process.
Indeed, the Department of EQS and Sustainability have been assigned powers of corporate management of environmental, including risks arising from climate change, safety and security risk, as well powers to define and propose evaluation and monitoring methodologies of the environmental and security risk of Galp Group activities and product quality, in conjunction with the business units, ensuring the definition and scheduling of actions to remove or minimise those risks.
The cybersecurity area of the Department of Information Systems is responsible for defining and managing the cybersecurity policy of the Galp Group's information systems
Galp's commercial operations are long-term in nature, which implies that many of the risks to which it is exposed are permanent. However, the triggering factors of the internal or external risks and opportunities, can be changed, developed and evolve over time, and may vary in probability, impact and detectability.
Galp assumes that the principal challenges faced by the Oil & Gas sector result in the assurance of access to energy in a decarbonisation economy context.
We identify on the next page (in alphabetical order) the risks which may have an impact on Galp's operational and financial performance, as well in reputational image, and the way they are managed and mitigated, including those associated with environmental questions and the fight against corruption and bribery.
The impact of climate change, especially as an aggravating factor of risks "Markets", "Legal and Regulatory", "Competition", "Disrupt events", is incorporated into this analysis.
Galp considers that there are impacts in Galp's business model associated to a transition to a lower carbon economy resulting from regulatory changes, but also changes in consumer and technological patterns. Galp also considers the risks arising from physical impacts of climate change and the opportunities arising out of a transition to a lower carbon economy, including production of energies with lower C02 emissions, development of new products and services, gains in energy efficiency, access to new markets and supply chain with bigger resiliency.
Accordingly, in its investment decision-making process, the Company considers a long-term price for carbon (\$40/ton). Thus, on the one hand, it intends to give more emphasis to the alternatives with lower C02 emissions and, on the other hand, strives to build a portfolio suitable to the transition to a lower carbon economy.
During 2017, the common risks terminology was updated in accordance with the new COSO framework - Enterprise Risk Management (ERM).
With this revision a holist approach to risk management was reinforced incorporating uncertainties, being risks or opportunities, regardless of their nature.
Galp's main risks and uncertainties are managed, monitored and communicated to the counterparties, project, geographical and industrial sectors, as a case may be. Please see section 54 of this Report for the description of the identification, assessment, monitoring, control and risks management processes.
Please note, the identified risks could change over the year, in response to changes caused by exogenous or endogenous factors.
The main risks that Galp faces are the following:
| Risk | Risk factors | Mitigation measures |
|---|---|---|
| Cybersecurity | The information systems are a crucial component for Galp's activities development and any system failure, whether accidental including those that are caused by network, hardware or software failures or resulting from intentional actions, such as cyberattacks or others, including those that are caused by, may have adverse impacts. These failures may in particular seriously compromise Galp's operations affect the quality of Galp's activities or cause an interruption of these activities, lead to loss, misuse or abuse of sensitive information, loss of lives, damage to the environment or assets and breaches in the legal or regulatory sphere, with the possibility of fines or any other type of measures imposed by the regulatory authorities; and also prejudice the Company's reputation. These events can negatively affect assets value and the Group's results. |
Galp mitigates these risks through a series of measures, including control procedures, backup systems, and protection systems, such as firewalls, antivirus and building security. In addition, Galp has implemented information security policies and regularly conducts audits, complementing them with computer risk assessments with respect to the Galp's most important assets, which are risk assessments performed by Galp or an independent specialist in Galp representation which enables to know better potential (critical) suppliers' fragilities. |
| Compliance/ Reputation |
Galp is exposed to negative impacts over its reputation as a result of non-compliance (either real or perceived) with laws and regulation, in particular on topics of corruption eventually practiced by management bodies, employees, suppliers, service providers and counterparties. On the other hand, any irregularities (real or alleged) relating to the international patterns applicable in the countries where we develop activity may have a very important adverse effect in our capacity to continue to carry out activity there. Furthermore, in a context of growing stakeholder influence, the change of consumer preferences in a way of giving relevance to new sources of energy, with lower carbon intensity, may lead to the stigmatisation of Oil & Gas sector and impose on Galp a reputational risk more and more remarkable. These kinds of events may negatively affect the Company's reputation and Groups results. |
Galp implemented a Code of Ethics and Conduct and a Corruption Prevention Policy, which can be viewed at Galp's website, with the objective to be committed and ensure the compliance with the best practices and international law and prevent behaviors that may constitute corruption in the geographies where it operates. Under the Corruption Prevention Policy, Galp does not allow its employees and third parties, acting on behalf of the Company, to offer, promise or authorise undue advantages to person, public entity or its related party, including facilitation payments, with a view to obtaining patrimonial or non-equity advantages for themselves, Galp or third parties (active corruption). The Company does not allow accepting advantages for itself, its employee or third party, when the acceptance could harm the independence and exemption of these or Galp, current or future, with respect to the offeror or its related party (passive corruption). Galp also does not allow the use of donations or sponsorships as means to practice an unlawful influence or pressure on any decision with advantage to the Company or its related party, always maintaining the social adequacy with respect to the sector and countries in which it act. In the scope of a continuous practice of internal rule updating, in 2017 Galp has updated its Code of Ethics and Conduct, promoting its adoption by all Group companies, in line with the principles of loyalty, rectitude, honesty, transparency and integrity, on which Galp's activities are based, in order to promote a responsible and ethical culture and to prevent or prohibit improper or unlawful practices. Galp's Code of Ethics and Conduct was consequently approved by the boards of directors of the Group companies in which Galp holds management control. This update allowed to reflect the Company's current mission and values, introduce guidelines that support ethical decision-making, and review some rules regarding employee action and relationships with specific stakeholders. |
| Risk | Risk factors | Mitigation measures |
|---|---|---|
| Compliance/ Reputation (cont.) |
In 2017 Galp implemented promotion measures to use effectiveness in the procedure for communication of irregularities in force. At the end of 2017 was started an e-learning action of the Code of Ethics and Conduct applicable to all employees and Group´s corporate bodies. The audit activity performed by a specific organisational |
|
| structure (Internal Audit Department) enables a continuous control over the compliance with Galp's procedures. |
||
| Galp applies appropriate processes and procedures in order to assess and mitigate the risk of corruption, including the risk that partners, transactions or commercial / institutional relationships may pose to Galp. In fact, in compliance with best practice, Galp implemented a set of mechanisms and procedures in which transactions with new counterparties are subject to due diligence performed by the Legal and Governance Department (KYC – Know Your Counterparty and KYC – Know Your Transaction), associated to a decision risk model, in order to ensure that relations with counterparties do not involve Galp Inadvertently Galp in corruption, money laundering or terrorism finance, among other risks. For this purpose, Galp has support software to analyse third-party's compliance and risks. Additionally, following the International Chamber of Commerce guidelines, a due diligence questionnaire for third-parties applicable to supplies and business partners was developed. |
||
| In addition, Galp promotes with their stakeholders measures to prevent corruption and recognise the principles and values set forth in Galp's Code of Ethics and Conduct. At the supplier level, Galp establishes contractual conditions that bind them to compliance with the provisions of the Code of Ethics and Conduct and does not establish or maintain relationships with suppliers that are not in line with the principles of the Code. Galp also promotes training actions to its suppliers in matters of ethics and conduct. In the scope of the mitigation of climate change affects, and aware of the risks and opportunities that come from a transition to a lower carbon economy, Galp has assumed the commitment of gradually diversifying its portfolio to energies with lower carbon emissions to new business models. On this topic, please see Chapter 2 of this report "Strategic framework". |

| Competition | The energy sector is extremely competitive and exposed to players from other sectors. The competition puts pressure on the prices of raw materials and products, affecting the marketing activities relating to oil products, and demanding constant focus on cost control and increased efficiency while, at the same time, guaranteeing the safety of the operations. The Company's performance may be affected if its competitors develop or acquire intellectual property rights or technology that the Company needs, or if the Company is not able to keep up with the sector in terms of innovation. Additionally, as a result of technological development, the Company may face competition from entities intervening in other industries or sectors of activity. Some of Galp's competitors are well-established operators in the reference markets, with a relevant size and access to a relevant number of resources. The weight of these companies in the market is due to a combination of factors, including diversified and reduced risk; financial capacity necessary for the developments requiring high levels of investment; capacity to benefit from economies of scale in terms of technology and organisation; and a size that allows them to benefit from advantages related to the acquired competencies, established infrastructures and reserves. In this way, these companies have the capacity to make competitive proposals with direct impacts on the effectiveness of Galp's operations. The intense competition to which Galp is subject to can adversely affect its operational and financial performance. |
In the E&P business, Galp has a diversified and competitive portfolio, which includes two of the most important development projects in the world – the pre salt region in Santos basin, Brazil, and the GNL project in Rovuma basin in Mozambique. Additionally, Galp has a series of competitive advantages and keeps a solid capital structure which support its E&P activities. In the downstream business, Galp develops a wide range of activities over the value chain, being a reference operator in Iberia, its core market, and having been developing relevant competencies which contribute to strengthen its activity in the international market. In view of the competition that exists in the energy sector, and to reduce the exposure to risks associated with the high level of operational complexity in the sector, Galp systematically applies the sector's best practices. |
| Partner dependency |
Many of Galp's main projects in the E&P business are carried out through partnerships and may be operated by third parties and managed through joint operations agreements. In the execution of these partner agreements, Galp may be vulnerable to events that affect its partners, even though they are not related to the Company. In particular, partners may have failures in their financial, technical, or operational capabilities to comply with their obligations on the project or in relation to third parties, and as such, could affect the viability of the project that they have jointly with Galp. Additionally, in the scope of the partner agreements, the partners could also have the capability to approve certain matters without the Galp's consent. All these risks could place the execution of projects at risk and, ultimately, constrain and interfere with the implementation of Galp's strategy. In this way, these kinds of events may negatively affect the asset's value and the Group's results. |
Despite the fact that Galp does not operate the most relevant E&P projects in its portfolio, it is actively involved in the respective execution. Actually, Galp monitors the activities of each project on a daily basis, using internal, multidisciplinary teams, and maintaining direct contact with operators, which essentially consist of well respected international companies with vast experience in the sector. Effectively, Galp uses a decision process of previous screening in relation to the strategic partners' selection, and also using due diligence processes. Galp has also developed a long process of negotiations that includes drafting, analysis, negotiating and signing of joint operating agreements in order to ensure Galp's rights and powers in the governance structures under joint venture regime, including the possibility to exercise possible veto rights on the scope of determined consortium decision making processes. |
| Risk | Risk factors | Mitigation measures |
|---|---|---|
| Partner dependency (cont.) |
Galp establishes diverse partnerships in the scope of others business areas, becoming dependent on the evolution of the established agreements and selected partners. The risks referred above related to E&P partners are also applicable here: financial, technical, operational partners' insufficiencies that may compromise reliability or the project execution itself. |
Within the scope of joint venture, the acquisitions of goods and services are governed by joint operation agreements, to ensure the alignment among all partners on quality, social responsibility and HSE criteria for the pre-qualification of suppliers in the purchasing processes. Local contracting is usually a requirement, varying according to the geographical area of the project and taking into account the specifics of the concession contracts. Galp has proven and diverse experience, combined with the knowledge acquired in the various projects in which it is involved, it is a key factor that allows Galp to have influence in the partnerships in which it participates. Also, for other business areas apart from E&P, partner selection involves a strict selection process which assures that selected partners are reference companies and with high financial, technical and operational capability. |
| Disruptive events | The nature, variety and technical complexity of Galp's operations, namely in exploration and production in ultra-deep waters or in the refining process, exposes the company to a wide spectrum of EQS risks of a disruptive nature. There are included in this nature chronic physical risks, which may relate to long-term changes in climate patterns (for example, sustained high temperatures, occurrence of successive droughts, changes in the precipitation pattern) which may cause sea level increase or chronic heat waves; acute physical risks regarding those conducted by events, including civil unrest, war and terrorism and natural catastrophes (including severity increase of extreme climatic events, such as cyclones, hurricanes or floods) or operational constraints related to Galp's upstream and downstream assets characteristics. E&P activities are usually developed in extremely defiant environments, with potential risks of technical failures and natural catastrophes. A specific number of factors, such as unexpected drill conditions, pressure or irregularities in geological formations, equipment malfunction or accidents and extreme climatic phenomena that may lead to life loss, environmental damage, compromise reliability or cause facilities destruction. This kind of events may negatively impact Galp's reputation as well its assets value and results. |
We understand that the environment, health and safety of our employees, customers and the community, as well protection of our assets, is key to ensure the sustainability of Galp. Consequently, the Company has established a commitment to integrating the most important aspects of EQS (including security) in its strategy and activities, as well as ensure a continued improvement of performance. In this context is important to highlight the approval on 2017 of the internal standard procedure which defines the environmental, health and safety (including security) requirements which should be assured in the decision-making process associated to the different project development stages (over the life cycle). When implementing the guidelines of this system in the Company's daily operations, the business units can identify and manage their own operating risks, through the full cycle of the different projects, equipment and assets. Galp regularly promotes specific HSE audits, internal and external, and carries out assessments to all assets in which it operates with the objective of, through operations and processes of risks control, prevent accidents, preserve operational performance, people, the reputation and the assets. The Company also practices a continuous monitoring of assets operated by third-parties, in accordance with the competences assigned in the terms of the agreements entered into with partners. Galp has also an insurance programme which includes, among others, civil liability to minimise the impact of any potential risks. |
| Risk | Risk factors | Mitigation measures |
|---|---|---|
| Project execution | The organic growth of the Company depends on the creation of a high-quality asset portfolio resulting from an efficient selection and capability of implementing, developing and operating diverse investment projects in the best conditions. However, the projects implementation is exposed to a variety of risks in terms of technical, economic, legal, regulatory, commercial and EQS, that may compromise the execution within the budget and deadline established, in compliance with pre-defined specifications andrespective operation reliability. In addition, the execution of the projects depends also on the performance of Galp's partners, on various service providers and other contracted parties, over whom Galp has no control, therefore the Company is additionally exposed to the risk of execution through these entities. The occurrence of any event that negatively affects the execution of investment projects, may result in a loss in value and/or higher investment costs, thus jeopardising the implementation of Galp's strategic plan. The non-execution of the best investment option in the best technical and financial conditions may have influence on assets value and Group's results. |
At Galp, the final investment decision in a project is taken after the adequacy to the Company's strategy is considered, a detailed review of feasibility studies, the evaluation of key variables in the implementation stage, the definition of the concept of development, as well as the mitigation measures protecting the future execution of the project. In the execution phase, the Company constantly monitors the critical factors in order to identify potential risks as quickly as possible, thus ensuring the timely implementation of corrective measures. Also, with respect to the projects where there is not an operator, Galp monitors activities and participates in the various phases of the project, with multidisciplinary internal teams. Galp participates in numerous projects worldwide, enabling it to take advantage of the diversified knowledge and experience that it has, applying various techniques and experience curves from one region to another. With respect to the risk that results from the performance of its partners, it should be noted that Galp develops partnerships with leading companies in the sector, recognised for their knowledge and experience. For more information, please consult the risk section "Partner dependency". With respect to the risk that arises from contracting suppliers, service providers and other third parties, Galp analyses and implements a selection and contracting process, combining multiple operational, compliance and HSE criteria. |
| Portfolio management |
Galp operates its activities with the focus on Oil & Gas. The Company is, however, committed to building a resilient portfolio for different scenarios, including a scenario of rapid decarbonisation. Regarding the E&P business, Galp's future production of oil and natural gas depends on its success in the consistent and profitable acquisition, discovery and development of new reserves to replace the reserves that have already been used. However, the Company's ability to acquire, find and develop new resources and reserves is subject to a number of risks. Estimates with respect to oil and natural gas reserves and resources are based on available geological, technological and economic data and is, therefore, subject to a large number of uncertainties. |
Galp conducts a process of strategic planning by scenario, with the ultimate objective of ensuring the Company's sustainability and creation of sustainable long-term value to its stakeholders. All projects undertaken by the Company are rigorously analysed and submitted to the management team for approval, which is only given when the expected value exceeds the estimated cost of the capital and allows an appropriate estimated return. Due to mitigation of climate change effects and awareness of the risks and opportunities from a more or less rapid transition to a lower carbon economy, Galp has assumed the commitment to gradually diversify the portfolio to lower carbon energies. For additional information, please consult Chapter 2 of this report related to Strategic Framework. |
| Risk | Risk factors | Mitigation measures |

| Portfolio management (cont.) |
The accuracy of these estimates depends on numerous factors, assumptions and variables, some of which are outside the Company's control. These factors include changes in the prices of oil and natural gas, which may have an impact on the amount of proven reserves (given that reserves are calculated on the basis of the prevailing economic conditions on the date of the respective calculation); changes in the applicable tax regime or other regulations and contractual conditions, which occur after the date of calculation of the reserves (which can have an impact on the economic viability of the development of these reserves); and certain actions and performance of third parties, including operators, in which the Company has no control. |
|
| In addition, the projects may be sanctioned based on incorrect assumptions or inadequate information, resulting in drill results which may oblige to substantial revisions to the initial estimates. |
||
| Besides that, Galp is subject to strong competition in the bidding for production of oil and natural gas blocks usually made available by governmental authorities, particularly with respect to those which are considered to be potentially more attractive in terms of resources. Due to this competition, Galp may not be able to obtain the desired production blocks, or may have to pay a higher price to obtain them, which may affect the economic viability of subsequent production. |
||
| Furthermore, political changes related to climate change may reduce geographical areas made available by governments for exploration and production activities. |
||
| If the Company is not successful in de-risking the resources and in the development of reserves, its total proven reserves may decrease, negatively affecting the Group's value. |
||
| Additionally, the change in the energy paradigm, with the resulting technological modifications, is an important challenge to Galp. |
||
| A non-implementation of a new technological strategy would put the Company in a competitive disadvantage in relation to its competitors. |
| Risk | Risk factors | Mitigation measures |

| Markets | The prices of oil, natural gas, LNG and oil-derived products are affected by the dynamics of market supply and demand. In turn, these are influenced by different factors, such as economic and operational circumstances, natural disasters, weather conditions, political instability, armed conflicts or supply constraints of oil exporting countries. Even though in long-term the operational costs tend to be in line with the rise and fall of the prices of raw materials and products, there is no guarantee that this will happen in the short term. Consequently, a reduction in the price could compromise investment plans, including exploration and development activities. On the other hand, increase in prices of oil or natural gas could affect the value and profitability of Galp's assets. Even though the prices that the Company charges its clients reflect market prices, they may not be adjusted immediately, and may not entirely reflect the changes in market prices. Preferences of potential consumer are changing, in particular derivation of procurement increase for solutions with lower carbon intensity, may negatively affect the oil & gas procurement. Galp is also exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates due to the fact that the results and the cash flow generated by the sale of oil, natural gas and refined products are usually set in US dollars and are affected by the exchange rates associated with such currency. In the countries where Galp is developing commercial activities, be it directly or indirectly, the operational results are also exposed to the fluctuations of the relevant exchange rates. Galp is also exposed to the risk of exchange rates in relation to the value of its financial assets and investments, mainly those that are defined in US dollars and in Brazilian Reais, which could have an impact on the Company's financial position, given that the financial |
New projects and investments are evaluated internally, taking into consideration the analysis of their sensitivity to key variables, particularly commodity prices and capex. The projects are equally analysed taking into consideration scenarios of demand and impacts in terms of carbon emissions. The risk associated with the volatility of raw material and products prices, particularly the refining margin, is managed at the business units level, balancing the obligations of sourcing and supply. The aforementioned risk is managed by means of the instrument made available by over-the-counter (OTC) or Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) markets. The interest rate risk, exchange rate risk and other financial risks, including financial investments and debt, are managed centrally. Risk management of the interest rate seeks to reduce the volatility of interest charges through the use of simple derivative instruments, such as swaps. With the aim of mitigating the exchange rate risk, Galp can, whenever it deems necessary, hedge its position by means of derivatives, for which a liquid market exists. |

| Political and Legal/ Regulatory |
A significant part of Galp's results comes and will increasingly come or will be dependent on countries with economic and political risk. |
Galp monitors permanently the main events that occur in the countries where it develops its activity namely in Brazil, Angola and in Mozambique. |
| Our main E&P projects are located in countries that are not part of OECD and may affect our capability to develop projects in a safe, reliable and profitable way. |
In countries where the exposure is larger, Galp invests in the development of a sustainable relation with the local interested parties. |

| changes of oil & gas sector, allocation of licenses for exploration and production, specific obligations on drilling and exploration activities, or significant increases in taxes and royalties on oil and natural gas production, among others. |
Regarding regulatory risks, the exposure level is analysed at the beginning of the entry process, and potential changes introduced by lawmakers or regulatory authorities are permanently monitored. |
|
| Additionally, governments have been approving international treaties and agreements and regulatory authorities have been approving regulations that encourage the choice for energies with low level of greenhouse gases emissions, such as renewable energies or other disruptive technologies, wich oblige companies to apply measures to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. This could raise additionally compliance obligations in respect of emission, capture, sequester and use of carbon dioxide, as well as reporting those values, that result in larger investments and higher project execution costs. |

Proposal for Galp allocation of results
A strong regulatory framework and a disciplined approach to risk are important elements in an organisation with a large number of different geographies. These are necessary to ensure that the Company performs in line with the strategic objectives, the risks taken produce appropriate returns and value is created for shareholders on a long-term basis.
According to the guidelines defined in the Risk Management Policy, approved by the Board of Directors in August 2016, we identify, assess and manage risks and opportunities related to the defined strategy in our business plan, but also emergent risks and opportunities.
Galp identified a set of critical uncertainties to its business models which formed a set of future alternative scenarios. These critical uncertainties are dependent on political, economic, social, technological, environmental and regulatory factors. In considering diverse scenarios in the strategic formulation process, Galp assures the formation of a resilient portfolio in several aspects. For more information, please see section 2.1 of chapter 2 of this report.
The risks identified through Galp's risk management process is sorted according to priority level, and, dependent on the respective probability, severity and detectability, are then communicated to the Chief Risk Officer and Risk Management Committee.
The referred risks are debated in the respective responsible business unit ("risk owner") and its alignment to Galp's acceptable levels is verified together with the corporate Risk Management team.
According to the three lines defense model (described in section 5.1), the risk management responsibility and respective periodic analysis is assigned to the Group company or to the responsible business unit with the local risk officers' support. Galp has risk management strategies which classify risks by response categories, in accordance to what is decided to avoid, transfer, reduce or accept the risk. The referred response strategies are defined in a way to ensure the risks are according to the guidelines provided by Galp's Board of Directors or Executive Committee.
The incorporation of the insurance activity within the corporate Risk Management Department enables to optimise and manage the risk transfer, whenever that reveals to be the best option.
In 2017, Galp reviewed internal standard of the risk management processes, which define methods of identification, assessment, treatment and monitoring of risks and opportunities, applied to organisational processes (represented in the alongside figure). In this procedure, the environmental financial, reputational and compliance dimensions among others are considered, where uncertainties of emergent regulations related to climate changes are present, ensuring a monitoring and assessment of the relevant uncertainties.
It is intended to ensure an effective applicability of the risk management system through a systematic control of its adequacy and efficiency to monitoring the risks and adequate corrective measures.
It should be noted that the identified and implemented mitigation measures might not be totally effective to provide complete cover of risks Galp is exposed to.

Galp drafted and implemented rules and procedures applicable to the control activities for the preparation and report of financial information.
Galp prepares its accounts in compliance with the IFRS accounting international rules, approved by the European Union. To fulfill situations of inexistence or insufficiency in the IAS/IFRS rules or SIC/IFRIC interpretations, Galp has an accounting manual, which follows the market best practices and is applied internally as a complement to the IFRS rules.
With the objective of assessing the operational performance, Galp also discloses the results on a replacement cost adjusted base (RCA), excluding the non-recurrent events and the inventory effect, the latter because the cost of the sold merchandise and rawmaterials consumed has been determined by the method of replacement cost valorisation. The "About the Report" section, describes the directives and globally recognised regulations used in the preparation of this report.
Recognising the technological dependency in the process areas, Galp characterises the control activities for financial information report with respect to the use of support technologies (implementation/system of information) and identifies control activities over those technologies.
Galp also recognises the role of productivity software use, including spreadsheets application and database, in support of relevant controls and activities for the financial information report, assessing the underlying risks and identifying control validity activities, monitoring and supervision over the use of such applications.
The process for disclosing financial information by Galp is accompanied not only by the management and supervisory bodies, but also by the business units and corporate centre. The documents for presenting financial information to the capital markets are prepared by the Strategy and Investor Relations Department (DERI), based on information provided by the planning and control of the business units, the Accounting and Taxation and the Corporate Planning and Control departments. In particular, in relation to halfyearly and annual provision of accounts, the documents are sent to the Board of Directors and Audit Board who approves them before disclosure.
Within the scope of its powers, the Statutory Auditor and the external auditor assess the internal control mechanisms of the principal functional cycles of the Group companies with effects in the financial report.
In 2017, Galp developed and implemented an information system for monitoring the insider registration and people with access to this information (permanent and occasional insiders), including financial information, meeting the requirements arising from the recent European legislative reform in this area.
The service responsible for supporting investors is Investor Relations division (IR) integrated in the DERI.

The Remuneration Committee is the corporate body responsible for setting the remuneration amounts payable to members of Galp's corporate bodies and Executive Committee and consists of three shareholders elected by the General Shareholders Meeting who are not members of the Board of Directors or the Audit Board, pursuant to Article 8 of the By-laws.
In accordance with Article 248(B)(3) of the Securities Code, Galp's senior executives are the members of the Board of Directors and the Audit Board. Beyond the members of these bodies, no one has regular access to inside information nor participates in decisions about the Company's management and business strategy.
The Company's current Remuneration Committee was elected at the General Shareholders Meeting of 16 April 2015 for the term 2015-2018 and has the following members:
The members of the Remuneration Committee are independent of the members of the Board of Directors and Audit Board, in compliance with Article 8 of the By-laws which stipulates that those positions are incompatible.
The fact that the non-executive directors Paula Amorim, Marta Amorim, Francisco Teixeira Rêgo, Rui Paulo Gonçalves and Jorge Seabra de Freitas are members of Amorim Energia's Board of Directors does not affect its independence as a member of the Remuneration Committee, given that these members do not take, alone or together, the decisions of the Board of Directors of Amorim Energia.
In 2017, the Remuneration Committee held three meetings.
In 2017, no natural or legal person was recruited to support the Remuneration Committee in the performance of its duties.
The members of the Remuneration Committee have control over the remuneration policy based on their academic background and extensive corporate experience and are considered suitable for reflection and decisionmaking on all matters under the remit of the Remuneration Committee, as evidenced by their biographical information in Appendix 8.9.
Specifically, the Remuneration Committee member Jorge Armindo Carvalho Teixeira has vast professional experience including work in listed companies, management positions, including as Chairman, giving him appropriate knowledge in matters of remuneration in governing bodies of this company type.
The Remuneration Committee submitted to the approval of the General Shareholders Meeting, held on 12 May 2017, a statement on the remuneration policy for the Galp's corporate bodies for 2017, which describes the process for setting and implementing Galp's remuneration policy for 2017, as well as its general objectives and principles, in accordance with Law 28/2009 of 19 June and in line with the CMVM Regulation No 4/2013 and the CMVM's Corporate Governance Code (2013 Recommendations), in order to ensure greater clarity and effectiveness in communicating the remuneration policy, both to the market and to shareholders. This policy is available on Galp's website at https://galp.com/Portals/0/Recursos/ GovernoCorporativo/Shared%20folder/Documentos/ Item\_8.pdf and a brief description thereof is given below.
Proposal for Galp allocation of results
Non-executive members - fixed monthly sum, paid 12 times per year, in an amount set by the Remuneration Committee, taking into account the standard market practice, which may be differentiated, in the case of the Chairman of the Board of Directors, in recognition of the special functions of Company's representation assigned to her/him, and, in the case of non-executive members of the Board of Directors who perform special functions of supervision and monitoring of the Company.
The remuneration of non-executive members of the Board of Directors does not include any amount based on the Company's performance.

Board executive members' remuneration of 2017 involves three main components:
Fixed remuneration - the fixed part of the remuneration is a monthly payment, paid 14 times a year, whose amount is set by the Remuneration Committee taking into account the nature of the assigned roles and responsibilities and market practice in equivalent positions in large national and international companies operating in the same sector.
Annual variable remuneration - represents 50% of total variable remuneration, with the amount set based on the following indicators:
Galp's EBITDA, at replacement cost, to be considered for the purpose of determining the annual variable remuneration, may reflect reasonable adjustments regarding extraneous factors previously defined by the Remuneration Committee, that are adequate to encourage management objectives.
Three-yearly variable remuneration - represents 50% of total variable remuneration, with the amount based on the following indicators:
The executive members of the Board of Directors are also entitled to an amount equal to 25% of their fixed remuneration, which is paid 12 times a year, for the purpose of establishing a retirement savings plan or similar financial product.
Each executive member of the Board of Directors also receives the fringe benefits in force at Galp for the exercise of his/her role, in accordance with the Company's terms and conditions in place.
Executive directors who have to travel from their place of residence are entitled to receive a supplement for accommodation expenses, set by the Remuneration Committee.
The remuneration of the Galp's directors includes all remunerations due for posts held in management corporate bodies in other Galp Group companies.
The remuneration of the members of the Audit Board consists of a fixed monthly payment, paid 12 times a year, with the chairman of the Audit Board receiving a different remuneration from the other members of the Audit Board, given the special functions assigned to the chairman.
The remuneration of the Audit Board members does not include a variable component.
The Statutory Auditor is remunerated for the work of review and legal certification of the accounts of the Company in an amount that is contractually set under normal market conditions.
The remuneration of the members of the Board of the General Shareholders Meeting is set following market practice in similar duties and is paid in a single instalment each year.
To achieve better alignment of the activities of the directors with the Company's long-term objectives, a policy setting multi-year goals was introduced in 2012.
As provided by the remuneration policy described in section 69 of this Report, the variable remuneration of directors holding executive office includes annual and three-yearly variable components, of the same weighting (50% each). That weighting is based on performance assessment carried out by the Remuneration Committee using specific, measurable and pre-defined criteria which, together, look at the Company's growth indicators and the wealth created for shareholders in a sustained manner in the short, medium and long-term, with a three-year time lag for the year in question in the case of the multi-annual component, under the terms of the above mentioned remuneration policy for 2017.
Accordingly, the use of qualitative criteria oriented towards a strategic medium-term perspective in the development of the Company, the three-year period considered for setting the multi-annual variable remuneration amount and the existence of a ceiling on variable remuneration, are key elements in promoting management alignment with the medium and long-term interests of the Company and its shareholders.
The executive members of the Board of Directors shall not enter into contracts, either with the Company or with third parties, whose effect is to mitigate the inherent risk of their variable remuneration set by the Company.
Proposal for Galp allocation of results
The total variable remuneration amount for each year is set by the Remuneration Committee in accordance with the fulfilment of the previously defined specific targets, with a maximum potential of 60%, by reference to fixed annual total remuneration.
The remuneration of executive directors include a variable component set based on the degree of compliance with certain economic, financial and operational objectives in respect of the previous financial year, as set out in the remuneration policy for 2017, representing 50% of total variable remuneration, in line with generally recognised practice in the national market and representing a reasonable balance between the variable and fixed remuneration components.
The above-mentioned performance indicators contribute 65% to the definitions of the applicable annual and three-yearly variable remuneration. The remaining 35% of each of these components is based on the result of the Remuneration Committee's qualitative assessment of the work of the executive directors during the financial year or during the relevant three-year period, as appropriate.
With the purpose of keeping consistency between the results obtained and the total amount of variable remuneration paid, Galp's a net profit is also considered. Accordingly, if Galp achieves net profit under 80% of budget, there will be no entitlement to payment of variable remuneration.
The three-year variable remuneration represents 50% of total variable remuneration, in line with generally recognised practice in the national market and the regime applicable to banking institutions defined in Appendix II (1) (n) of Directive 2011/61/EU of 8 June 2011, which sets a minimum amount of 40% for deferred variable remuneration.
The remuneration policy for 2017 provides for the threeyear deferral of 50% of the variable remuneration component, in successive and overlapping three-year periods.
The three-yearly variable remuneration is annually set by the Remuneration Committee, establishing a provisional amount based on evaluation in each year of the three year period. However, the actual deferred amount of the three-year variable remuneration depends on (i) fulfillment of the overall objectives for the three-year period, and (ii) qualitative assessment by the Remuneration Committee, following consultation with the non-executive directors, such that the provisional amounts may be reduced or increased at the end of the three-year period in question, as a result of the assessment.
The first three-year period to be considered was 2013-15. The deferral current period is 2015-2017.
Galp currently has no system for the allocation of variable remuneration in shares.
Galp currently has no system for the allocation of variable remuneration in options.
Galp does not have an established annual bonus scheme.
The executive directors are entitled to a car allowance and to health insurance.
The Remuneration Committee, pursuant to Article 8 of the By-laws, is the competent entity to approve the pension or pension compensation, at the expense of the Company, which is attributed to the executive directors.
The remuneration policy for 2017, approved by the General Shareholders Meeting and described in section 69 of this report, provides the attribution of an amount of 25% of the annual fixed remuneration to the members of the Executive Committee for application on a retirement savings plan or financial product at their discretion.
This savings plan entails no cost for Galp in the future, insofar as it represents the allocation of an amount for financial investment, while the members of the Executive Committee perform their duties and does not fall under the terms of Article 402(1) of the CSC.
The gross annual amount of remuneration received in aggregate form by the members of the Company's Board of Directors during the 2017 financial year, as set by the Remuneration Committee, was €6,735,078.23, of which €4,145,283.34 was fixed, €1,306,967 in variable remuneration, €982,100.00 for the retirement savings plan and €300,727.89 in other benefits.

1 Corresponds to the variable annual remuneration for 2016 and variable multiannual remuneration for the three-year period 2014-2016.
2 The chairman of the Board of Directors donated her remuneration to the Galp Foundation.
The variable remuneration is set under the provisions of section 72 of this chapter.
The remuneration of Galp's directors includes all remunerations due for posts held on management bodies in Galp Group companies, therefore, no other payments were made by companies in a controlling or group relationship or under common control.
Galp does not have any other remuneration system for its directors in the form of profit sharing and/or payment of bonuses.
No compensation was paid or owed to former executive directors because of termination of their duties during the 2017 financial year.
The aggregate remuneration paid to the members of the Audit Board in 2017, as per terms set by the Remuneration Committee, was €92,400.
The individual remuneration amounts paid to the permanent members of the Audit Board in 2017 are as follows:
| Name | Position | Fixed Remuneration (€) |
|---|---|---|
| Daniel Bessa | Chairman | 42,000 |
| Gracinda Raposo | Member | 25,200 |
| Pedro Antunes de Almeida | Member | 25,200 |
| Total | 92,400 |
In 2017, the Chairman of the Board of the General Shareholders Meeting received remuneration in the amount of €3,000.
In accordance with the remuneration policy for 2017, Galp does not have agreements in place that provide payments in the event of unfair dismissal of a director. The amounts due are determined by legal provisions but there is no payment of remuneration sums in respect of the variable component if the net profit of the Galp Group is above 80% of the budget.
The remuneration policy for 2017 is the legal instrument under which is not demandable to the director removed due to inadequate performance any indemnity, nor compensation beyond the legal regime is required.
The remuneration policy of the members of the corporate bodies for 2016 provided that, in exceptional and duly motivated circumstances, in particular in the case of critical managerial functions, there could be specific compensation or retention mechanisms, for a period of office not higher than two consecutive terms, considering the evolution in the international market for recruiting senior executives with experience and committed for medium/long term availability, as well as the need of the Company to ensure competitive conditions both for recruiting and retention of such officers. Within the scope of this policy an additional compensation was set for the retention of the CEO and the COO for the E&P business up to 2019, corresponding
to, respectively, three times and two times the yearly total remuneration of each of these officers.
The remuneration policy of the members of the corporate bodies for 2018 no longer provides for this type of mechanism and other remuneration incentive models are being considered.
Galp is not a party to any agreements with the members of the Board of Directors and other senior executives, within the meaning of Article 248 (B) (3) of the Securities Code, providing for compensation in the event of resignation, dismissal without valid reason, or termination of the employment relationship following a change in Company's control.
Taking into account the evolution of the international recruitment market of senior executives with experience and commitment of medium/long term availability, and given the Company's need to ensure the competitiveness of the conditions for recruitment and retention, Galp's remuneration policy for 2017 - in exceptional and duly justified cases, namely by the special business criticality of the duties to be performed - allows the application of adopted specific incentive/compensation mechanisms for a maximum period of two successive terms.
Galp has no share plans or share purchase options.

In order to safeguard the Galp Group's interest in situations of potential conflict of interest, Galp adopted internal procedures for compliance with the relevant accounting standards, in particular IAS 24, as well as implemented the regulatory standard on the control of transactions between Galp and related parties, establishing the internal rules and procedures to identify, internal report and control by the Audit Board.
In 2017, transactions with related parties subject to the control of the Audit Board did not occur.
Galp's engagement in business with related entities, as defined in IAS 24, is subject to the prior opinion of the Audit Board in accordance with internal standard "Galp Group Transactions with Related Parties", to safeguard the Galp Group's interest in situations of potential conflict of interest notwithstanding compliance with the legal
provisions in force, available at https://www.galp.com/ Portals/0/Recursos/Governo-Societario/SharedResources/ Documentos/EN/NT-R-Transacoes-Grupo-Galp-Partes-Relacionadas-EN.pdf

Proposal for Galp 8.1. Financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2017
Galp Energia, SGPS, S.A. (hereinafter referred to as Galp or the Company) has its Head Office in Rua Tomás da Fonseca in Lisbon, Portugal and its corporate business is the management of equity participations in other companies.
The Company shareholder structure as of 31 December 2017 is stated in Note 17.1.
The Company is listed on the Euronext Lisbon stock exchange.
As of 31 December 2017, the Galp Group (the Group) consists of Galp and its subsidiaries, which includes, among others: (i) Galp Energia E&P, B.V. and its subsidiaries integrating the oil and gas exploration and production activities and biofuels, (ii) Petróleos de Portugal – Petrogal, S.A. (Petrogal) and its subsidiaries, which carry out their activities in the refining of crude oil and distribution of its derivatives; (iii) Galp Gás & Power, SGPS, S.A. and its subsidiaries, which operate in the natural gas sector, electricity sector and renewable energy sector; and (iv) Galp Energia, S.A. which integrates the corporate support services.
The Exploration & Production (E&P) business segment is responsible for the presence of Galp in the oil industry upstream sector, which consists in the management of all activities relating to exploration, development and production of hydrocarbons, essentially in Brazil, Mozambique and Angola.
The Refining & Marketing (R&M) business segment owns two refineries in Portugal and also includes all activities relating to the retail and wholesale marketing of oil products (including LPG). The Refining & Marketing segment also comprises the oil products storage and transportation infrastructure in Portugal and Spain, for both export/import and marketing of its products to the main consumer centres. This retail marketing activity, using the Galp brand, also includes Angola, Cape Verde, Spain, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique and Swaziland through subsidiaries.
The Gas & Power (G&P) business segment encompasses the areas of sourcing, supply, distribution and storage of natural gas and electric and thermal power generation.
Galp natural gas business encompasses a set of activities, including the supply and marketing to final customers in the Iberian Peninsula.
The natural gas activity, including sourcing and supply of natural gas, supplies natural gas to large industrial customers, with annual consumption of more than 2 million m3 , power generation companies, natural gas distribution companies and Autonomous Gas Units (AGU). So as to meet the demand of its customers, Galp has long-term sourcing contracts with Algerian and Nigerian suppliers.
The natural gas subsidiaries of the Galp Group which supply natural gas in Portugal operate based on concession contracts entered into with the Portuguese State. At the end of the concession period, the assets relating to the concessions will be transferred to the Portuguese State and the companies will receive an amount corresponding to the book value of these assets at that date, net of depreciation, financial co-participation and Government grants.
Under the terms covered by the sectorial regulations applicable in Portugal, approved by the respective regulator ("ERSE" - www.erse. pt), described in the respective regulations in more detail, there are:
Natural Gas purchase and sale activity in connection to the management of the long-term sourcing contracts in the Takeor-Pay (ToP) scheme signed prior to the publication of Directive 2003/55/ EC of 26 June, exercised by the Natural Gas National System (NGNS) supplier.
To cover the planned natural gas requirements in Portugal, a natural gas purchase contract of 2.3 bcm per year was signed, for a period of 23 years, with Sonatrach, a company owned by the Algerian State. The commencement of this contract and the first deliveries of natural gas started in January 1997, simultaneously with the connection of the Europe - Maghreb gas pipeline to the transport network in Portugal.
Additionally, three contracts were signed for a period of 20 years, with NLNG, a Nigerian Company, to acquire a total of 3.5 bcm of LNG per year. The sourcing under these contracts started in 2000, 2003 and 2006, respectively.
| Contracts | Country | Quantities (mm3/year) |
Duration (years) |
Beginning on |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NLNG I | Nigeria | 420 | 20 | 2000 |
| NLNG II | Nigeria | 1000 | 20 | 2003 |
| NLNG + | Nigeria | 2000 | 20 | 2006 |
| Sonatrach | Algeria | 2300 | 23 | 1997 |
The purchase price of natural gas under long-term purchase agreements is generally calculated according to a set price formula based on the price of alternative fuels, such as the benchmark price of crude oil and other elements, including inflation and exchange rates. Typically, the price formula of these contracts foresees a periodic adjustment based on variations of the chosen benchmark.
Usually the long-term natural gas purchase contracts define a minimum annual quantity to acquire and a flexible margin for each year. These contracts usually establish an obligation to Take-or-Pay, which obliges the purchase of the agreed quantities of natural gas, regardless of the respective need that may or not occur. These contracts allow the transfer of quantities from one year to another within certain limits, if demand is lower than the established minimum annual levels.
When Galp was listed on the stock exchange, an analysis of these contracts was performed in order to detect any embedded derivatives, namely contractual clauses that could be considered as financial derivatives. The analysis carried out did not detect financial derivatives that should be recognised at fair value, since the characteristics of these contracts are intrinsic to the gas activity.
When embedded derivatives are booked under in other financial instruments or other contracts, they are treated as separately recognised derivatives in situations where the risks and characteristics are not closely related to contracts and in situations where the contract is not stated at fair value with unrealised gains or losses recorded in the income statement.
Although the maturity of the contracts is of less than 20 years, long-term supply contracts provide for the possibility of renegotiation over the term of the contract in accordance with contractually defined rules.
The natural gas purchase and sale activity for sourcing to the last resort activity, developed by the last resort wholesaler, includes the following functions:
The natural gas commercialisation activity, exercised by the last resort retailers, includes the following functions:
The Group Power business includes the generation of energy through the portfolio of cogeneration plants in Portugal and wind assets, and the sale of electricity to end customers. Geographic markets for developed activities are as follows:
The Group Power business includes the generation of energy through the portfolio of cogeneration plants in Portugal and wind assets, and the sale of eletricity to end customers.
Proposal for Galp 8.1. Financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2017
The accompanying financial statements are presented in millions of Euros (€m), unless otherwise stated.
Galp decided to change the monetary unit from €k to €m in the Financial Statements for the financial year 2017. Thus, it presents in its financial statements the monetary unit Euros in millions instead of thousands. This change results from the fact that Galp's accounts are large enough for the use of this measure, as well as being the unit used by Management for Galp's consolidated accounts.
Galp consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis, at historical cost except for financial derivative instruments which are stated at fair value, based on the accounting records of the companies included in the consolidation maintained in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, effective for the period beginning in 1 January 2017. These standards include International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and International Accounting Standards (IAS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC) and respective interpretations – SIC and IFRIC, issued by the Standing Interpretation Committee (SIC) and International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee (IFRIC). These standards and interpretations are hereinafter referred to as IFRS.
The accounting policies adopted are in accordance with their content in the respective note. The common or generic accounting policies for several notes are stated in this respective note.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires estimates to be made that affect the recorded amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the end of each year and income and costs recognised each year. The actual results could be different depending on the estimates made.
Certain estimates are considered critical if: (i) the nature of the estimates is considered to be significant due to the level of subjectivity and judgment required to record situations in which there is significant uncertainty or are very susceptible to changes in the situation and; (ii) the impact of the estimates on the financial situation or operating performance is significant.
The accounting principles and areas that require the greatest number of judgments and estimates in the preparation of financial statements are: (i) proved crude oil reserves relating to the petroleum exploration activity; (ii) tangible and intangible assets, financial investments and Goodwill impairment; (iii) provision for contingencies and environmental liabilities; (iv) demographic and financial assumptions used to calculate retirement benefits; (v) accounts receivable impairment; (vi) tangible and intangible assets useful lives and residual values; (vii) deferred tax assets, (viii) abandonment provisions and (ix) estimates over uncertain tax positions.
The estimate of crude oil reserves is an integral part of the decision-making process relating to exploration and development of crude oil activities assets, in addition to supporting the development or implementation of secondary recovery techniques. The volume of proved crude oil reserves is used to calculate depreciation of the petroleum exploration and production assets in accordance with the "Unit of Production" method, and the volume of proved reserves and contingent and prospective resources are used, depending on the prospection stage they are at, to value impairment of investment in assets relating to that activity. Estimated proved crude oil reserves are also used to recognise annual abandonment costs.
Estimated proved reserves are subject to future revision, based on new information available, such as information relating to the development activities, drilling or production, exchange rates, prices, contract termination dates and development plans. The volume of crude oil produced and cost of the assets are known, while the proved reserves are very likely to be recovered and are based on estimates subject to adjustment. The impact on depreciation and provision for abandonment costs, of changes in the estimated proved reserves is treated on a prospective basis, the remaining net book value of the assets being depreciated and the provision for abandonment costs being adjusted, respectively, based on the expected future production.
The quantity and type of petroleum reserves used for accounting purposes are described in Note 24.
The determination of the assets residual values and useful lives, as well as the depreciation / amortisation method to be applied is essential to determine the amount of depreciation and amortisation to be recognised in the consolidated income statement of for each period. These two parameters are set according to the best judgment of the Board of Directors for the assets and respective businesses, considering also the practices adopted by other sector companies at the international level.
The Group performs annual impairment tests on Goodwill, as explained in Note 11. The recoverable amounts of the cash generating units were determined based on their value in use. In calculating value in use, the Group estimated the expected future cash flows from the cash generating units, as well as an appropriate discount rate to calculate the present value of the cash flows. The amount of Goodwill is referred to in Note 11.
Identifying impairment indicators, estimating future cash flows and determining asset fair value imply a high level of judgment from the Board of Directors in respect to the identification and evaluation of the different impairment indicators, expected cash flows, applicable discount rates, useful lives and residual amounts.
The credit risk of the accounts receivable balances is evaluated at each reporting date, taking into consideration historical client information and its risk profile. Accounts receivable are adjusted by the evaluation made by management of the estimated collection risks existing at the date of the statement of financial position, which may differ from the actual risk for impairment to be incurred.
The final cost of lawsuits, settlements and other litigation can vary due to estimates based on different interpretations of the rules, opinions and final assessment of the losses. Consequently, any change in circumstances relating to these types of contingency can have a significant effect on the recorded amount for contingencies.
See Note 21.
Galp makes judgments and estimates to calculate provisions for environmental matters such as CO2. Every year Galp is entitled to free licences (EUA – Emission Unit Allowances) from the Portuguese Environment Agency in order to address greenhouse gas emissions. In case the free licences are insufficient to address greenhouse gas emissions, Galp can acquire the EUAs or other equivalent/complementary allowances green certificates (ERU – Emission Reduction Units) in the market, giving rise to a cost which is recorded in caption "Other operational costs". However, if greenhouse gas emissions are above licences and green certificates in the portfolio at the end of the year, costs are accrued based on the best estimate of the expense to be incurred at the market spot rate of the licences and/or certificates. The current portfolio of allowances is referred to in Note 22.
Galp also makes judgments and estimates to calculate its known obligations relating essentially to the known requirements of soil decontamination, based on current information relating to expected intervention costs and plans. Such costs can vary due to changes in the legislation and regulations, change in conditions of a specific location, as well as in decontamination technologies. Consequently, any change in the circumstances relating to such provisions, as well as in the legislation and regulations can significantly affect the provisions for such matters. The provision for environmental matters is reviewed annually.
The provision for environmental liabilities is referred to in Note 21 and Note 28.
See Note 19.
Proposal for Galp 8.1. Financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2017
Deferred tax assets are recognised only when there is reasonable assurance that future taxable profits will be available for use of the temporary differences or when there are deferred tax liabilities for which a reversal is expected within the same period that the deferred tax assets are reversed. Evaluation of deferred tax assets is made by management at the end of each period, taking into account expectations for the Group's future performance.
The measurement of uncertain tax positions with respect to tax estimates is carried out at its most probable value and not at a value weighted by associated probabilities.
Regarding uncertain tax positions that are provisioned see Note 21.
Foreign entities are those that operate abroad and that are a subsidiary, associate, joint venture or branch of the reporting entity, and that present a functional currency different from the reporting entity's reporting currency.
The assets and liabilities of the financial statements of foreign entities are translated into Euros using the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the financial statements and the costs and income and cash flows of these financial statements are translated into Euros using the average exchange rate recorded in the period. The resulting exchange difference, generated after 1 January 2004 (date of transition to IFRS), is recorded under equity in the caption "Currency translation reserves". Exchange differences generated up to 1 January 2004 (date of transition to IFRS) were written off to retained earnings.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments resulting from foreign entities acquisition are treated as assets and liabilities of that entity and translated to Euros at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the financial statements.
Whenever a foreign entity is sold, the accumulated exchange difference is transferred from the "Currency translation reserves" in equity to the caption "Other gains or losses" in the income statement.
Loans granted by shareholders in currencies other than the parent's functional reporting currency and that have no stipulated repayment term are treated as net investments in these foreign entities. The exchange differences generated, but not eliminated in the consolidation process, in the translation of the shareholder loans balances into the functional currency of the company are recycled from net income to the item "Currency translation reserves" in shareholders' equity attributable to shareholders.
The financial statements of foreign entities included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated into Euros using the following exchange rates:

Transactions are recorded in the separate financial statements of subsidiaries in their functional currencies, at the exchange rates in force on the dates of the transactions.
All foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities in the separate financial statements of subsidiaries are translated to the functional currency of each subsidiary using the exchange rates in force at the end of each reporting period. Foreign currency nonmonetary assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are translated to the functional currency of each subsidiary at the exchange rate in force on the date the fair value is determined.
Gains and losses resulting from differences in exchange rates in force on the dates of the transactions and those prevailing at the date of collection, payment or at the end of the reporting period are recorded as income and expenses, respectively, in the consolidated income statement captions in which the respective transactions are recognised, except for those relating to nonmonetary items, that are recorded directly in equity.
Translation differences arising from intra-group loans and that are part of the net investment in foreign operations are recorded in the consolidated financial statements directly in equity.
Assets realisable and liabilities payable in more than one year from the consolidated financial statements date are classified as non-current assets and non-current liabilities, respectively.
Financial assets and liabilities are recorded in the statement of financial position when the Group becomes a contractual party to the financial instrument.
The financial assets and liabilities are not offset, unless there is legal or contractual conditions that allow it.
Financial assets are classified as follows:
Held-to-maturity financial assets are classified as non-current assets, unless they mature in less than 12 months from the consolidated statement of financial position date. These assets have a defined maturity date, and the Group intends, and has the ability, to retain them up to their maturity. As at 31 December 2017 the Group does not own held-to-maturity financial assets.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are classified as current assets.
Available-for-sale financial assets are classified as non-current assets, for the investments in affiliates.
All purchases and sales of these financial assets are recorded on the date of the signature of the respective purchase and sale contracts, independently of the financial settlement date.
Financial assets are initially recorded at cost, which is the fair value of the price paid, including transaction costs, except for financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss.
After initial recognition, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and available-for-sale financial assets are revalued to fair value by reference to their market value at the financial statements date, with no deduction for transaction costs which could be incurred upon sale. For equity instruments not listed on a regulated market, where it is not possible to reliably estimate their fair value, these are maintained at cost less any non-reversible impairment losses.
Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of available-for-sale financial assets are recognised in the equity caption "Fair value reserve" until the asset is sold, redeemed or in some way disposed of, or until the fair value of the asset falls below cost over a long period, at which time the accumulated gain or loss is recorded in the income statement.
Interest income, calculated using the effective interest rate method, as well as exchange gains and losses related to debt instruments classified as available-for-sale financial assets, are recognised in the income statement for the period.
Dividends obtained from equity instruments, classified as available-for-sale financial assets, and impairment losses for all these financial assets are also accounted for in the income statement for the period.
Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recorded in the income statement.
Galp derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows resulting from the financial assets expire or the financial asset is transferred and the transfer qualifies for the derecognition, as required by IAS 39.
Regarding to the derecognition of a financial liability, it occurs when and only when it is extinguished, that is, when the specified obligation in the agreement is satisfied or canceled or expires.

8.1. Financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2017
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified in accordance with substance of the contractual arrangement, independent of their legal form. Thus, financial instruments with no interest rate and no defined repayment term are considered by Galp as equity instruments (i.e. quasi-capital).

Operational segment is an entity component that:
The accounting policies in the segment reporting are used consistently in the Group. All inter-segment revenues are at market prices and are eliminated in consolidation process.
The Group is organized into three operational segments which have been defined based on the type of products sold and services rendered, by the following business units:
For the operational segment "Others", the Group considered the holding company Galp Energia, SGPS, S.A., and companies with different activities including Tagus Re, S.A. and Galp Energia, S.A., a reinsurance company and a provider of shared services at the corporate level, respectively.
Note 1 presents a description of the activities of each operational segment.
In order to a closer approximation to the management criteria, below is the segment reporting on a replacement cost perspective (RC) basis, in which the cost of the sale determined in accordance with IAS / IFRS (weighted average cost) is replaced by the replacement cost method.
Galp understands that this approach in presenting its operational performance is more relevant to the users of the financial statements, since it reflects the business performance without the volatility of incertainty; it is also the indicator used by the Group's management.
We also present a reconciliation between the net result IAS / IFRS and the net result calculated according to the replacement cost (in a management perspective) for a better understanding.

The main inter-segmental transactions of sales and services rendered are primarily related to:
The commercial and financial transactions between related parties are performed according to the usual market conditions similar to transactions performed between independent companies (Note 23).
The assumptions underlying the determination of prices in transactions between Group companies rely on the consideration of the economic realities and characteristics of the situations in question. In this context an analysis is made, amongst others, of the goods and services traded, the functions performed by the parties (including the assets used and risks assumed), the contractual terms, the economic situation of the parties as well as their negotiation strategies.
In a related party's context, the remuneration thus corresponds to what is considered appropriate, as a rule, to the functions performed by each participant company, taking into account the assets used and risks assumed. Thus, in order to determine the level of remuneration, the activities and risks taken by companies within the value chain of goods/services transacted are identified according to their functional profile, particularly with regard to the functions that they perform - import, manufacturing, distribution and retail.
In conclusion, market prices are determined not only by analysing the functions performed, the assets used and the risks incurred by one entity, but by also considering the contribution of these elements to the Company's profitability. This analysis assesses whether the profitability indicators of the companies involved fall within the calculated ranges based on an evaluation of a panel of functionally comparable but independent companies, thus allowing the prices to be fixed in order to comply with the arm's length principle.

Investments in companies in which the Group holds control, namely if it has cumulatively:
power over the investee;
exposure or rights in relation to variable results through its relationship with the investee; and
ability to use its power over the investee to impact the amount of the results to the investors,
were included in these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the full consolidation method. The Companies consolidated in accordance with the full consolidation method are disclosed in Note 4.1.
Equity and net result for the year corresponding to third party participation in subsidiaries are reflected separately in the consolidated statement of financial position and in the consolidated income statement, respectively, in the caption "Non-controlling interests". The gains and losses attributable to non-controlling interests are allocated to them, even if they exceed, in case of losses, the amount invested by the noncontrolling interests.
The assets and liabilities of each Group company are recorded at fair value as of the date of acquisition, as established in IFRS 3, and can be reviewed over a period of 12 months after that date. Any excess of cost over the fair value of the net assets and liabilities acquired is recognised as Goodwill (Note 11)). If the difference between the cost and the fair value of the net assets and liabilities acquired is negative, it is recorded as income of the year.
When, at the date of the control acquisition, the Group already holds a previously acquired interest, its fair value is used to determine Goodwill or negative Goodwill.
Transaction costs directly attributable to business combinations are immediately recognised in profit and loss.
Non-controlling interests include the third parties' portion of the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities as of the date of acquisition of the subsidiaries.
When control is acquired for a percentage below 100%, under the purchase method, non-controlling interests may be measured at fair value or at the ratio between acquired assets fair value and acquired liabilities fair value, being the option defined for each transaction.
The results of subsidiaries acquired or sold during the year are included in the consolidated income statement from the date of acquisition or the date of the exercise of control up to the date of disposal.
Subsequent disposal or acquisition transactions of financial investments on non-controlling interests, which do not involve changes in control, do not result in recognition of gains, losses or Goodwill, being any resulting difference between the transaction amount and the carrying amount of the transacted investment recognised in Equity.
Whenever necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to be in accordance with the Group's accounting policies. Transactions (including unrealised gains and losses on sales between Group companies), balances and dividends distributed between Group companies are eliminated in the consolidation process, except the losses which are indicators of impairment losses in the assets transferred.
Where the Group has, in substance, control over other structured entities, even if it does not have a direct participation in their capital, these are consolidated in accordance with the full consolidation method. When such entities exist, they are detailed in this Note.

As of 1 January 2014, due to mandatory application of IFRS 11 - Joint Arrangements, the group identified Sigás – Armazenagem de Gás, A.C.E., Pergás – Armanzenamento de Gás, A.C.E., and Multiservicios Galp Barcelona, UTE as entities in which the shareholders have operational and financial control over the assets and liabilities of the company. Therefore, the assets, liabilities, gains and losses were incorporated in the consolidated financial statements for the percentage held in those entities, 60%, 51% and 50%, respectively (Note 5.6.2).
(*)Although Galp Group holds through its subsidiary Petróleos de Portugal - Petrogal, S.A. only 48.29% of the equity of Empresa Nacional de Combustíveis - Enacol S.A.R.L, the Group controls its financial and operational policies, and is expected to continue to do so by means of a representative majority of votes at the Board of Directors meetings. Thus, Galp has, in accordance with IFRS 10 (a) power over the investee, (b) exposure or rights to variable results via its relationship with the investee and (c) ability to use its power over the investee to affect the value of the results for investors, and due to these facts, the subsidiary is consolidated using the full consolidation method.
Empresa Nacional de Combustíveis - Enacol S.A.R.L. holds interests in the following subsidiaries: i) Enamar - Sociedade Transportes Marítimos, Sociedade Unipessoal, S.A. (100%); ii) EnacolGest, Ld.ª (100%); and iii) Sodigás-Sociedade Industrial de Gases, S.A.R.L. (44%) (Note 5.2). Interests held in Enamar - Sociedade Transportes Marítimos, Sociedade Unipessoal, S.A. and in EnacolGest, Ld.ª are consolidated using the full consolidation method and Sodigás - Sociedade Industrial de Gases, S.A.R.L. is included in the caption "Investments in associates" (Note 5.2).
During the period ended 31 December, 2017, the consolidation perimeter changed from the previous year as follows:
On October 17 2016, Galp, through its subsidiaries Petróleos de Portugal - Petrogal, SA and Galp Energia, SGPS, SA, which respectively held 99.98% and 0.02% of the share capital of the subsidiary Galp Gambia, Limited, reached an agreement with Premiere Investment Group, SAL, for the sale of 100% of the share capital of Galp Gambia, Limited.
In the year ended 31 December, 2016, as a result of this agreement, the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary Galp Gambia, Limited were classified in the consolidated accounts of Galp Energia, SGPS as non-current assets held for sale and liabilities associated with non-current assets held for sale.
In the year ended 31 December, 2016, the group received the amount of €5 m, which was recognised in other accounts payable - Advances related to disposal of financial investments (Note 20.2).
On 17 January 2017, the sale was completed. The final price was €4 m, based on the agreed initial price plus adjustments as set out in the Sale Purchase Agreement ("SPA").
Thus changes in the consolidation perimeter that occurred in the period ended 31 December 2017 had the following impact on the consolidated statement of financial position of Galp Group:
| Unit: €m | ||
|---|---|---|
| Disposal % | 100% | |

As a result of this operation, the Group recognised in results under the caption Results related to investments in associates and joint ventures a net capital gain of €4m (Note 5.4).
On 20 December 2017, subsidiary Windhoek PEL 24 B.V. and its branch in Namibia, 100% owned by Galp Energia E&P, B.V., were dissolved.
On 22 December 2017, Fundo Vera Cruz was closed and all funds were redeemed.

Galp held Interests in Joint Ventures where joint control consists on the contractually agreed sharing of control over an Agreement, which only exists when decisions on the relevant activities require the unanimous agreement of the parties sharing control.
The classification of a joint agreement as a joint operation or a joint venture depends on the rights and obligations of the parties on the Agreement.
A joint operation is a joint agreement whereby the parties with joint control of the agreement have rights over the assets and liabilities for the liabilities related to that agreement. These parties are called joint operators.
The classification of financial investments as joint ventures is determined on the basis of shareholders' agreements governing joint control. Thus, when Galp classifies a participating interest or consortium as a joint agreement, it considers various legal, contractual and accounting requirements for its appropriate accounting classification.
Investments in joint ventures have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements using the equity method, from the date on which joint control is exercised. Joint ventures recognised under the equity method are detailed in Note 5. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities of the joint ventures on the acquisition date is recognised as Goodwill and maintained at the amount of the financial investment in the caption "Investments in associates and joint ventures". If the difference between the acquisition cost and the fair value of the net assets and liabilities acquired is negative, a profit for the year is recognized in the caption "Income from financial investments" in associated companies and joint ventures, after confirmation of the fair value assigned.
An evaluation of investments is carried out in joint ventures when there is evidence that the interest may be impaired, and impairment losses if any are due recorded as cost. When the
impairment losses recognised in prior years cease to exist, they are reversed.
When Group's proportion of the joint venture's accumulated losses exceeds the value at which the interest is recorded, the financial investment is reported at zero value, except when the Group has entered into commitments with the joint venture. In this case, the Group records a loss for the amount of joint liability assumed with the joint venture.
Unrealised gains and losses on transactions with joint ventures are eliminated in proportion to the Group's interest in the joint venture, against the investment in the same entity. Unrealised losses are similarly eliminated, but only to the extent that the loss does not show that the transferred asset is impaired.
Joint operations in oil exploration consortiums are accounted in accordance with the established contracts. Accordingly, these joint operations are recorded according to the working interest held in the petroleum consortium.
The Group's Exploration and Production (E&P) activity is mainly carried out through partnerships with other entities, reflecting in financial statements the percentage held by the Group in these consortium.

During the period ended 31 December 2017, there were no significant changes in the Joint Operations, by geographical area and percentages held.
Joint operations are subject to joint agreements designated as JOA (Joint Operating Agreement). These JOA establish the joint decisions between the partners of the oil consortia. In addition to the JOA's, Production Sharing Agreements may exist, which are primarily used to determine the share of oil production in a given area that is for the consortium. In PSAs, the national oil company pays the execution, by the international oil company (contractor), of the exploration and production activity. The contractor takes the mineral and financial risk of the initiative and, if successful, recovers the cost of capital spent and costs incurred in the year (cost oil) through the share of production. In Angola, the fluctuation in international oil prices also affects the production share (net entitlement) by which the contractor has the right to remunerate its invested capital (profit oil) after incurred costs are paid by cost oil. Thus, the investment and the stock are recognised in the share of the assets, while sales and costs are recognised in the Income Statement.
The profit oil is a form of remuneration of the State specific for the production sharing contracts in Angola. The profit oil represents the difference between (i) the amount of oil produced and collected from each development area and not used in petroleum operations, and (ii) the oil for the cost recovery (cost oil) in the same development area. Annual audits are performed by independent auditors on the accounts submitted by the consortium, in which it is assessed the acceptance of these costs, which gives rise to adjustments for excess or insufficiency in profit oil.

Proposal for Galp 8.1. Financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2017
Income from sales is recognised in the income statement when the risks and benefits inherent to the ownership of the assets are transferred to the buyer and the amount of the corresponding income can be reasonably quantified. Sales are recognised net of taxes with the exception of tax on petroleum products in the marketing activity, discounts and other costs related to their realisation, at the fair value of the amount received or receivable.
Costs and income are recorded in the period to which they relate, regardless of the date of their payment or receipt. Costs and income whose actual value is not known are estimated.
In the caption "Other current receivales" and "Other current payables", costs and income attributable to the current period are recorded and expenses and revenues will only occur in future periods, as well as expenses and revenues that have already occurred but are related to future periods and which will be charged to the results of each of these periods, at the amount corresponding to them.
Exchange differences arising from Suppliers and Customers balances are recognised in Operating Results.
The sales price of natural gas to electricity production companies is based on specific commercial agreements.
The regulated tariffs used for invoicing natural gas in the national natural gas system are established by Entidade Reguladora do Sector Energético (ERSE), so that they allow the recovery of the estimated regulated revenue for each gas year calculated for each regulated activity. Regulated revenue includes, in addition to operating costs for each activity, the following remuneration: (i) for the commercialisation activity, remuneration for the purchase and sale of natural gas, which corresponds to the effective cost of natural gas and remuneration of the operating commercialisation costs plus a commercialisation margin; ; and (ii) for the activities of receipt, transport and storage of natural gas, remuneration on the fixed assets net of depreciation and grants relating to these activities. The regulated revenue of the pass-through activities/functions assumes the recovery of the costs incurred. Consequently, each activity is compensated for the costs incurred plus an additional remuneration, when applicable.
Following the above, and as the Group holds credit risk related to the tariff invoiced to final customers, the regulated Group companies, as trading companies to end customers, include in their income, the tariffs that include the remuneration/ recovery of all the previous activities.
Given the regulatory framework and legislation in place, the differences between regulated revenues meet some conditions (measurement reliability; financial asset remuneration; entitlement to their recovery and transmissibility, among other) that support their recognition as income and assets in the year they are calculated, namely that they can be reliably measured and the certainty that economic benefits will flow to the Company. The regulated revenue calculation formula for the "Gas Year n", in the first and second regulated periods as published in the Tariff Regulation, include the differences in regulated revenue in the "Gas Year n-2". This rationale is also applied to the negative differences in regulated revenue, which are recorded as liabilities and costs.
In previous years, differences to the regulated revenue recorded by the Group were incorporated in the respective tariff calculations in accordance with the established mechanisms.
In the wholesale intermediate storage and distribution activity, the Group books in accruals and deferred income the difference between the effective invoicing through sales of the natural gas regulated tariff and the regulated revenue defined for each Gas Year by ERSE, allocated to each semester in accordance with the agreed seasonality coefficient of included for the compensation mechanism by the natural gas companies – Regulated revenue (Note 13.2).
In the wholesale last resort commercialisation activity, the Group books in accruals and deferred income the difference between the effective invoicing through the sales of natural gas regulated tariff and the effective cost of natural gas acquired – Energy Tariff Deviation (Note 13.2).
Since the natural gas regulated system is intended to result in a uniform tariff (applicable to all the country's regions) and considering the various levels of efficiency of the companies in the regulated market, ERSE published the compensation mechanism to be practiced between the companies in the sector, so as to allow approximation of income recovered by application of the regulated tariffs to regulated revenue of these companies. Therefore ERSE, in its documents "Tariffs and prices of natural gas" for each Gas Year, identifies the amount of compensation to be transferred (charged) between companies of the national gas system. In order to ensure a practical, objective and transparent procedure for the referred settlement, the companies have agreed seasonal coefficients to be applied in the issuance of the invoice for the uniform tariff. The seasonality differences between distribution and commercialisation activities reflect the difference in payment terms.
The meter reading, invoicing and respective collection related to the gas distribution and commercialisation activities are performed directly by the companies or, in respect of the meter reading and collection activities, by subcontracted external partners.
Un-invoiced gas sales are recorded monthly in the caption "Other receivables" based on the estimated amount to be invoiced according to historical information or meter reading depending on the client type, and corrected in the income statement in the period in which they are invoiced (Note 13.2).
Regarding construction contracts included under IFRIC12, the construction of concession assets is outsourced to specialised entities which themselves assume the risk of construction activity, and income and costs associated with building of these assets (Notes 6 and 7) are then recognised. In the year ended 31 December 2016, Galp Gás Natural Distribuição, S.A. and its subsidiaries ceased to be fully consolidated in the Galp Energia Group, SGPS, S.A., being the companies which comprise it recognised as joint ventures. Thus on 31 December 2017, the caption "Cost/Income" from the construction of assets under IFRIC12 ceased to present values.
The Group's operating income for the years ended 31 December 2017 and 2016 is as follows:

The financial charges with loans obtained are recorded as a financial cost on an accrual basis.
Financial charges arising from general and specific loans obtained to finance fixed asset investments are assigned to tangible and intangible assets in progress, in the proportion of the total expenses incurred on those investments net of
investment government grants (Note 12), until its operations start. The remainder is recognised in financial expenses caption in the income statement for the year. Any interest income from loans directly related to the financing of fixed assets in progress construction is deducted from the financial charges capitalised.
The financial charges included in the fixed assets are depreciated according to the useful life of the respective assets.

8.1. Financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements
as of 31 December 2017
Income tax is calculated based on the taxable results of the companies included in the consolidation in accordance with the applicable tax rules in force in the area each Galp company head office is located.
Deferred taxes are calculated based on the liability method and reflect the temporary differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities recorded for accounting purposes and their amounts for tax purposes.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated and reviewed annually using the tax rates expected to be in force when the temporary differences revert.
Deferred tax assets are recorded only when there is reasonable expectation of sufficient future taxable income to use them or whenever there are taxable temporary differences that offset the deductible temporary differences in the period they revert. Temporary differences underlying deferred tax assets are reviewed at each statement of financial position date in order to recognise deferred tax assets that were not recorded in prior years as they did not fulfil all requisites and/or to reduce the amounts of deferred tax assets recorded based on the current expectation of their future recovery (Note 10.3).
Deferred taxes are recorded in the income statement for the year, unless they result from items recorded directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recorded in equity.
Exploration and Production activity
The Petroleum Income Tax (IRP) is regulated under the Law 13/04, of 24 December ("Lei sobre a Tributação das Atividades Petrolíferas" – Tax Law for Petroleum Activities), in Angola. As referred in paragraph 18 of the referred Law, this is a tax calculated on the "taxable income calculated in accordance with this Law". The rate applicable to the Production Sharing Agreement contracts is of 50% on the "profit oil" of the Company. The "profit oil" of the Company is calculated by the difference between the crude oil sold, accrued of the oil activities additional income (including gains on disposal
of participation interests), deducted of the cost recovery oil (meaning "cost-oil"), which includes the costs considered recoverable. The amount of the "profit oil" does not include, on the other hand, the part of the "profit oil" that should be shared with the National Concessionaire (Sonangol), in accordance with the Production Sharing Agreement. The calculation of the tax is in all terms similar to an income tax. Thus, the oil companies subject to this tax are not subject to other income taxes in Angola.
Whenever the Group performs a sale, it pays the IRP to the Angolan Government, accounting the amount actually paid in the income statement caption "Income tax". However, not all of the tax paid represents tax expense for the year as the Group borrows barrels from its partners in the consortium in order to perform sales in accordance with the agreement signed between all partners from the concession block, leading to a situation of "Overlifting".
As such, a deferred tax asset is recorded based on the borrowed barrels, so that there is a direct relationship between the activity's margin and its tax expense. As such, tax expense only relates to sold barrels which are property of the Group. The deferred tax asset is reversed in direct proportion of recognition of the margin through the group production.
When the Group lends barrels ("Underlifting"), IRP is calculated on the lent barrels, which are recorded in income tax payable for the year.
Under the terms of Decree nº 2.705, of 3 August 1998, the Petroleum, Natural Gas, Biofuels National Agency (Agência Nacional Do Petróleo, Gás Natural e Biocombustíveis – ANP), Special Participation is a financial compensation, due on a quarterly basis, by the concessionaires of oil and natural gas exploration and production. The Special Participation is calculated on a determined income (resulting from multiplying volumes produced by reference prices used in the sale of oil/gas), to which a set of operational costs related to the production of hydrocarbons are deducted.
Galp considers that these taxes fall under the scope of IAS 12.
The Group companies headquartered in Portugal in which the Group has an interest equal or greater than 75%, if such participation ensures more than 50% of voting rights, are taxed in accordance with the special regime for the taxation of groups of companies, with taxable income being determined in Galp Energia, SGPS, S.A. The weighted income tax rate applied to the Companies headquartered in Portugal is of 29%.
Spanish tax resident companies, in which the percentage held by the Group exceeds 75% have, from 2005 onwards, been taxed on a consolidated basis in Spain. Currently, the fiscal consolidation is performed by Galp Energia España S.A., on behalf of Galp Energia SGPS, S.A. The weighted income tax rate applied to the Companies headquartered in Spain is of 25%.
However, estimated income tax of the Company and its subsidiaries is accounted for based on their tax results. In the year ended 31 December 2017, €503 m was recorded in the caption "Income tax".
The following situations may affect income tax payable in the future:

For the year ended 31 December 2014, the Group was subject to a special tax (Energy Sector Extraordinary Contribution CESE I), pursuant to Article 228 of Law 83C/2013 of 31 December, which states that the energy companies that detain net assets in certain activities as at 1 January 2014 are subject to a tax calculated on the amount of net assets on that date.
In the period ended 31 December 2015, the Group was subject to a special tax (Energy Sector Extraordinary Contribution CESE II), pursuant to Law 33/2015 of 27 April and Order No. 157 -B/2015 of 28 May, which focuses on the value of future sales, based on the four existing long term LNG sourcing contracts which are on a take-or-pay basis. Resulting from the respective Law and Order, Galp recorded a total payable amount of €156 m, to be paid in instalments of €52 m in May of each of the years 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively. During the year ended 31 December 2017, pursuant order No. 92-A / 2017 of March 2, the economic values of the take-or-pay contracts were changed, which was reflected in the increase of the CESE amount, in the amount of €32 m.

Proposal for Galp 8.1. Financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2017
Changes in deferred taxes reflected in Equity, correspond to:
Potential foreign exchange differences in Brazil result from the tax option to tax potential foreign exchange differences only when they are realised.
Tax losses for which deferred tax assets were recognised are as follows:
| Unit: €m | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Year | Tax losses carried forward |
Limit year use |
Deferred tax asset |
| The Netherlands: | 27 | 7 | |
| 2016 | 27 | 2025 | |
| Spain: | 138 | 34 | |
| 2015 | 138 | No limit | |
| Brazil | 23 | 8 | |
| 2016 | 23 | No limit | |
Regarding the assumptions underlying the existence of future taxable income sufficient to realise the deferred tax assets, Galp follows the medium and long-term plan designed for the companies.
It should also be noted that in the case of jurisdictions where there are fiscal consolidation regimes, Galp simulates the implementation of these consolidations. It should also be referred that the prescribed legal limits for recovery of the losses are considered as the period for the recovery of deferred tax assets arising from tax losses.
In situations where the legal period for recovery exceeds the periods for which the Group makes the preparation of budgets and plans, forecasts are made for those periods based on the values established for the Budgets and Plans.
Tax losses carried forward in Brazil, namely regarding Petrogal Brazil S.A., will be recovered through future taxable results that may be expected as a result of the growing oil exploration activity. In the Galp Energia Brazil S.A. case, since there is no expectation of taxable profit over the next five years, the respective deferred tax assets was derecognised.
Regarding the companies headquartered in the Netherlands, the deferred tax assets established in 2016 in relation to losses from liquidation of Tarfaya BV were partially reversed, once Galp Energia E&P BV generated positive results in 2017.
The differences between the subsidiaries acquisition cost and the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of these companies at the acquisition date (or during a period of 12 months after that date), if positive, are recorded under Goodwill (when it results from Goodwill in Group companies) or included in the caption "Investments in associated companies" (when it results from associates). The negative differences are recognised immediately in the income statement.
The positive differences between the acquisition cost of investments in foreign entities and the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition (or during a period of 12 months after that date), are recognised in their functional currencies and translated to the Group's functional currency (Euros) at the rate of exchange at the end of the reporting period. Exchange rate differences resulting from the translation are recorded in equity in the caption "Translation reserve".
Goodwill on acquisitions prior to the date of transition to IFRS (1 January 2004) has been maintained at the amount recorded in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Portugal (deemed cost) as at that date and was subject to impairment tests at the reporting date. Goodwill stopped being amortised as at that date, but is subject to impairment tests, at least annually.
Any impairment losses are recorded immediately in the statement of financial position as a deduction to the amount of the assets and are recorded against the income statement caption Results from investments in associates and impairment losses on Goodwill, included in financial results.
If initial recognition of a business combination can only be determined provisionally at the end of the period in which the concentration occurred (due to the fact that the fair value attributed to the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired entity can only be determined provisionally) Galp recognises the business combination using the information available. The amounts determined provisionally are adjusted when the fair value of the assets and liabilities are accurately determined, up to a period of 12 months after the acquisition date. During that period, Goodwill or any other recognised gain will be adjusted by an amount equal to the adjustment to the fair value at the date of acquisition of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities identifiable being recognised or adjusted and the comparative information presented for the periods prior to the completion of the initial accounting of the combination. This includes any depreciation, amortisation or other additional gain or loss recognised as result of completing the initial recognition.

When performing impairment tests, Goodwill is allocated to the respective cash generating unit. Value in use is determined by the present value of the estimated future cash flows of the cash generating unit. The recoverable amount is estimated for the cash-generating unit to which it may belong, according to the method of discounted cash flows. The discount rate used reflects Galp Energia Group's WACC for the reporting segment and country of each cash generating unit.

The Group has maintained its WACC rates from 2016 to 2017 by prudence.
According to the defined assumptions, in the year ended 31 December 2017, there were no impairment losses under Goodwill.
Stress testing was performed on the valuation model, with assumptions varying (i) in a pessimistic scenario, a WACC rate increase of 2%, while cash flow reduce by 10%, as well as (ii) an optimistic scenario, presenting the maintenance of the WACC rate and increase in cash flows by 10%, not resulting from the pessimistic scenario any impairment in Goodwill.

Proposal for Galp 8.1. Financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements
as of 31 December 2017
Tangible assets acquired up to 1 January 2004 (date of transition to IFRS) are measured according with IFRS 1 option, at deemed cost, which corresponds to cost, revalued, when applicable, in accordance with the legislation in force up to that date, less accumulated depreciation and cumulative impairment losses.
Tangible assets acquired after that date are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and cumulative impairment losses. Acquisition cost includes the invoice price, transport and assembly costs and financial costs incurred during the construction phase.
Tangible assets in progress refer to tangible assets in construction and are recorded at cost less cumulative impairment losses. Tangible assets are depreciated as from date the assets are substantially completed or the assets are ready for use.
Deemed cost (for acquisitions up to 1 January 2004) or acquisition cost depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis (on a monthly basis), as from the year the assets are available for use, as intended by management, at the rates considered most appropriate to depreciate the assets during their estimated economic useful life, limited, when applicable, to the concession period.
The average annual depreciation rates used are as follows:
| Rates 2017 | Rates 2016 | |
|---|---|---|
| Land and natural resources | - | |
| Buildings and other constructions | 4.80% | 4.48% |
| Machinery and equipment | 12.42% | 10.25% |
| Transport equipment | 16.27% | 17.41% |
| Tools and utensils | 21.77% | 19.38% |
| Administrative equipment | 19.11% | 18.99% |
| Reusable containers | 12.96% | 13.43% |
| Other tangibel assets | 8.03% | 8.61% |
The capital gain/loss resulting from the write-off or disposal of tangible assets is determined by the difference between the sale price and the net book value as of the date of the write-off/ disposal. The net book value includes accumulated impairment losses. The resulting accounting capital gains/losses are recorded in the consolidated income statement "Other operating income" or "Other operating costs", respectively.
Recurring repair and maintenance costs are expensed in the year they are incurred. Major overhauls involving the replacement of parts of equipment or of other tangible assets are recorded as tangible assets if the replaced parts are identified and written off, and depreciated over the remaining period of economic useful life of the respective tangible assets.
The Exploration and Production activity is divided in three phases: Exploration, Development and Production.
What distinguishes the three phases is essentially the stage of the works performed and the discovery or not of commercially viable reserves. Thus, in the exploration phase the company performs expenditures on research (i.e. seismic, drilling, geological and geophysical studies). At this stage IFRS 6 is applied, and Galp has adopted the accounting criteria accepted by the standard, thus maintaining its previous accounting policy, which in this case consists of the capitalisation of these operating expenses. At this stage, there are contingent and prospective resources, and the company performs periodic impairment analysis, recognising dry wells (i.e. no proved reserves or without subsequent use) as a cost of the year.
The company may incur some expenses prior to the acquisition of mineral rights, which are recognised as costs of the year.
In the development phase there are already commercially viable reserves, not yet developed. Thus, Galp starts carrying out investments for the extraction of these reserves, related to platforms, pipelines and expenses with internal and contracted technical labour. Galp capitalises technical labour internal expenses with engineers and geologists hired by Galp for the development of resources and reserves for the extraction of those minerals.
Finally in the production phase there are proved developed reserves, and as a result such mineral resources commence being extracted and sold.
At any of these stages, including production, the company performs periodic impairment tests in order to rule out any evidence of non-recoverability of the investment.
Tangible assets related to oil exploration and production are recorded at acquisition cost and mainly relate to costs incurred in the exploration and the development of the exploration area, including overheads incurred up to the beginning of production and are recorded in tangible assets in progress. When the oil field begins production, these costs are transferred from tangible assets in progress to tangible fixed assets and depreciated at the UOP method according to the expenses' nature.
Joint operations in oil exploration consortiums are recognised in accordance with the established agreements. Therefore, these jointly operations are recorded by the proportion of the interest held ("working interest") in the oil consortium.
Development and Exploration expenses are depreciated in accordance with a coefficient calculated based on the proportion of the volume produced in each period in relation to the proved developed reserves at the end of the period plus production for the period ("UOP").
The proved developed reserves, used by the Group to determine the depreciation rate in accordance with UOP method, were determined by a specialised and independent entity.
Exploration expenses relating to fields which are still in the exploration and development phase are classified as tangible assets in progress in the caption "Tangible assets".
Lease contracts are classified as:
Finance and operating leases are classified based on the substance rather than the form of the legal contract.
Tangible assets acquired under finance lease contracts and the corresponding liabilities are recorded in accordance with the financial method. In accordance with this method the cost of the assets (the lower of the fair value or the discounted amount of the lease instalments) is recorded in tangible assets, the corresponding liability is recorded and interest included in the lease instalments and depreciation of the fixed assets, calculated as explained in Note 7, are recorded as a financial cost and amortisation and depreciation cost in the income statement of the year to which they relate, respectively. In the case of operating leases, the lease instalments are recorded as costs for the year, on a straight-line basis over the period of the contract, in the income statement caption "External supplies and services".
Floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) rents that are being used in the exploration and production (E&P) business are derived from contracts established within existing consortium and are charged to the Group in the proportion of the share held in each of the consortium. Those charges regarding FPSO are likely to be classified as debt under IFRS 16 (for accounting periods after 1st of January 2019).
Intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Intangible assets are only recorded if it is probable that they will result in future economic benefits to the Group, they are controlled by the Group and can be reliably measured.
Development expenses are only recognised as intangible assets if the Group has the technical and financial ability to develop the asset, decides to complete the development and starts commercialising or using it, and it is probable that the asset created will generate future economic benefits. If the development costs do not fulfil these requirements, they are recorded in profit and loss for the year when occurred.
Research expenses not related to petroleum exploration and production activities are recognised as an expense of the period.
Intangible assets include costs incurred on information systems development, exclusivity bonuses paid to retailers of Galp products and rights on land use costs, which are amortised over the period of the respective contracts (which ranges from ten to 20 years).
Intangible assets with finite useful life are amortised on a straight-line basis.
The amortisation rates are set in accordance with the period of the existing contracts or expected use of the intangible assets.
Intangible assets recognised in oil exploration and production are recorded at acquisition cost and are mainly related with acquiring oil exploration and production licences (signature bonus), and are amortised on a straight-line basis, as from the date production starts, over the remaining period of the licence.
The natural gas infrastructures, namely the gas distribution networks, are amortised over the concession period (45 years) or of the exploration licence (20 years).
The Group capitalises costs relating to the conversion of natural gas consumptions, which involves costs incurred adapting the installations. The Group considers that it can control the future economic benefits resulting from this conversion through the continued sale of gas to its clients (Dec-law 140/2006 of 26th of July). These costs are amortised on a straight-line basis up to the end of the natural gas distribution company's concession period.

The Exploration & Production segment is divided in three stages: Exploration, Development and Production.
The transition from the exploration stage to the development stage is related to the discovery of commercially viable reserves and the transition to the production stage is related with the beginning of the production process, which is when the proved reserves are developed.
As mentioned in the accounting policies, Galp capitalises the investment expenses in all three stages, subjecting them to periodic impairment tests.

Proposal for Galp 8.1. Financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2017
Impairment tests are performed as of the financial statements date and whenever a decline in the asset value is identified. Whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recorded against income statement caption Amortisation, depreciation and impairment loss of tangible assets.
The recoverable amount is the greater of the fair value and the value in use. Fair value is the amount that would be obtained from selling the asset in a transaction between independent knowledgeable parties, less the costs directly attributable to the sale. Value in use corresponds to the present value of the future cash flows generated by the asset during its estimated economic useful life. The recoverable amount is estimated for the asset or cash generating unit to which it belongs. The discount rate used reflects WACC used by Galp for the reporting segment and country of the asset. The cash generating unit subject to impairment analysis depends on the reporting segment.
Impairment losses recorded in previous periods are reversed when it is concluded that they no longer exist or have decreased. Such tests are made whenever there are indications that an impairment recorded in an earlier period has reverted. Reversal of impairment is recognised as a decrease in the income statement caption Amortisation, depreciation and impairment loss of tangible assets. However, impairment losses are only reversed up to the amount the asset would be recorded (net of amortisation or depreciation) if the impairment loss had not been recorded previously.
Tangible and intangible assets related with refining and distribution of oil products are assessed by the Group for impairment at the end of each reporting period, considering internal and external sources of information, namely the Portuguese and Spanish service station networks. In its annual impairment tests in respect of the oil distribution segment, the Group considers the cash generating unit (CGU) to be the service station network of each country and has applied this criteria consistently given the importance of the interdependence of income resulting from the existence of loyalty and fleet owner's cards that the company provides to its customers. This is based on the fact that management
information is analysed in this way, and operational decisions and investments are made on that basis.
The impairment tests carried out by the Group are based on the estimated recoverable amount of each service station compared to its net book value at the end of each reporting period. The recoverable amount (value in use) determined by the Group corresponds to the present value of the expected future cash flows determined based on annual budgets and business plans for each service station, using the WACC discount rate of that business segment, according to its specific risk.
Impairment tests are also performed on other assets of the refining and distribution segment, including refineries and tangible assets associated with logistics and storage activities.
The period of the projections of the cash flows varies as a function of the cash generating unit's average useful life.
Whenever there are impairment indicators in the Gas & Power assets, the Company performs impairment tests. The CGU of the gas segment is defined as the gas networks and respective concessions. For the Power segment, the defined CGUs are the specific cogeneration plants.
The impairment tests carried out by the Group are based on the estimated recoverable amount of each CGU compared to its net book value at the end of each reporting period. The recoverable amount (value in use) determined by the Group corresponds to the present value of the expected future cash flows determined based on annual budgets and business plans for each CGU at its present condition, using the WACC discount rate of that business segment, according to its specific risk.
The period of the projections of the cash flows varies as a function of the cash generating unit's average useful life.
In the case of activities in which the assets are regulated the impairment analysis is based on the Regulatory Asset Base (RAB). This analysis is based on the value of the remunerated assets for regulated rate purposes.
The impairment losses on oil exploration and production assets are determined when:
Tangible and intangible assets related with oil exploration and production are assessed periodically (annually and quarterly when indicators are noted) by the Group for impairment. The selected cash generating unit is the country or block depending on the stage of maturity of the investments.
The assessment for block/country impairment is made in accordance with the Expected Monetary Value (EMV model), comparing the carrying amount of the investments with the present value of the expected future cash flows using the WACC discount rate, calculated considering the estimates of:
The EMV model considers in its calculation the POS (Probability of Geological Success or Probability of Success), which is a conditional statistical probability (Bayesian probability). This probability used in the Geology science considers a probability matrix based on seismic information and other G&G (Geological & Geophysical) information. This information is measured taking into account the quantity, quality and certainty (data control) thereof.
The cash flow projection period is equal to the recovery of reserves and resources period, limited to the period of the concession contracts, when applicable.
The information contained in paragraphs:
(i) is determined by independent experts for the quantification of the estimated oil reserves;
(ii), (iii), (iv), (vii), (viii) and (ix) is internally determined by Galp, or, whenever available, through information provided by the operator of each Block, namely the information included in the approved development plans, adjusted to the expectation of the Company and legal information available; and
(v) and (vi) is that contained in the five-year budget of Galp Group and constant after that period.
The assessment of impairment by country is similar to that described by block, however the estimated cash flows only take into account the information contained in paragraphs (iii) to (ix) above, since probable reserves are not yet determined.
Galp prepares impairment testing in any stage of Exploration and Production, meaning, in the Exploration, Development and Production stages.

In the Exploration phase, the CGU depends on investment characteristics in each country where the investment is made. At an early investment stage in a country the CGU is the country, given that the investment comprises investment in signature bonuses and any generic research performed in the area/total areas. When the total areas are divided by the official authorities of the country in blocks, Galp sets as CGU the block, down-levelling the assessment in impairment tests. At this stage as there are no reserves, Galp uses in the impairment tests the prospective and contingent resources (1C, 2C and 3C) with very low POS (Probability of Success). Thus, if reserves discovery occurs, the investment passes to the next stage, development, having previously been subject to impairment tests.
In the development and production stages, Galp considers as CGU the block. Also, in these stages the model considers P.O.S., higher than the one considered in the first stage, since there are already commercially viable reserves. Impairment tests are performed based on 2P reserves (proved and probable reserves), since these are used by Galp and its partners in the consortium in the decisions to carry out or not the investments.
In the year ending December 31 2017, the amount of €419 m, net of tangible and intangible impairments, presented the following movements:

The accumulated amount of €419 m at year end 31 December, 2017 mainly include:
The increases/decreases in the amount of €84 m refers to:
During the year 2017, impairments were recognised in Angola (€45 m - 14/14k block and Malange), resulting from the likelihood of a negative outcome in relation to the ongoing negotiations of the fiscal regime with a negative impact on Net Present Value (NPV) and in the case of the Malange area assets, the impairment results from the abandonment of the development activities of this area.
The impairment amount recognized in the Peniche´s basin in Portugal, includes assets in the exploration phase, due to the revision made during the year to Galp's assets portfolio, from which it was concluded that there is a low probability of these assets being developed.
The impairment resulting from recent areas in Brazil (€5 m), results from the acquisition of seismic data of third round, as a result of which Galp concluded that the investment will not be realised.
The economic impairment in the oil exploration area in East Timor is due to committed expenses with assets whose economic recoverability is reduced.
The remaining impairments in the amount of €10 m refer to tangible assets with negative performance (i.e. in Spain) or that are obsolete (scheduled refining stoppages) for which losses are expected to arise from the maintenance interventions.
The amount of €55 m utilisation corresponds essentially to equipment, expenses and block rights without economic viability in Namibia, Peniche and Brazil in the amounts of €24 m, €21 m and €7 m respectively.
Adjustments mainly refers to the revaluation of foreign currency balances from subsidiaries denominated in foreign currencies.

Tangible and intangible assets of the oil exploration and production segment were subject to impairment tests at year end, being also tested the sensitivity of the carrying value of the main assets to the Brent price fluctuation.
The forecast of Brent prices considered in impairment studies, was based on the estimates of the main brokers and peers of the Company (see table below), being the oil resources and reserves considered for accounting purposes referred to in Note 24.
| Year 2018 | Year 2019 | Year 2020 | Year 2021 | Year 2022 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 55\$/bbl | 60\$/bbl | 65\$/bbl | 70\$/bbl | 70\$/bbl |
The analysis considered a future average exchange rate of EUR/ USD of 1.21 and EUR/BRL of 3.91 and a discount rate of 10.5%, which reflects the WACC of the E&P Business Unit, calculated on a USD basis.
From the impairment tests carried out, the safety margin to the carrying value per CGU, of the regions in which Galp operates (Angola, Mozambique and Brazil) is positive, with exception from Block14/14K in Angola, due to asset advanced maturity.
In the context of the stress analysis carried out to test the impact of Brent's volatility on the value of the main E&P assets, it is possible to summarise the following conclusions:
Angola: a 10% reduction in Brent price has a negative impact on the impairment test, resulting in a potential impairment of approximately €94 m in specific CGUs. This impairment may occur in a future scenario of reduction of the Brent assumption, in which the remaining variables of the analysis would remain immutable (e.g. Opex, Capex);
Mozambique and Brazil: the 10% reduction in the Brent price does not represent a risk of potential impairments in the CGU of these geographies;
Impairment tests were carried out on the service station network in Portugal and Spain accompanied by a stress analysis.
For the two CGU, stations network in Portugal and in Spain, the stress analysis was based on the following fundamental assumptions:
The retail station network in Portugal presents a positive safety margin, and if subject to a sensitivity analysis taking into account the aforementioned assumptions does not reveal potential future impairments. The cash-generating unit was subject to a discount rate of 6%.
The retail station network in Spain presents a positive safety margin. In a sensitivity analysis to the network in Spain, a potential additional impairment exists to the one recognised in the amount of €75 m. This impairment can occur if the negative assumptions are noted in the future, considering a scenario where the remaining variables of the analysis would remain immutable. The cash-generating unit was subject to a discount rate of 6%.
From the analysis made to the refining cash-generating unit, the referred CGU has a positive safety margin. A sensitivity analysis was performed on the impairment test, considering assumptions identical to those used for the impairment tests of the network. The result of this sensitivity analysis was positive. The cashgenerating unit was subject to a discount rate of 8.2%.

According to the categories established in IAS 39, accounts receivable is initially recorded at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less any impairment losses, recognised under "Impairment losses on accounts receivable". Usually, the amortised cost of these assets does not differ from their nominal value or their fair value. Third party debt is a category of financial assets (see Note 2.3.4 a).

13.2.Other receivables
It is industry practice to do under or overliftings of its share in crude. This under/overlifting intends to optimise the transport costs between the partners. In underlifting, the partner has made a sale on behalf of the company. Thus, an account receivable is recorded and a sale is recognised. This account receivable is tested for impairment. So, in a situation where the crude market price as of the end of the reporting period is lower than the price considered in the valuation of the account receivable (accrual) an impairment is recognised in the income statement (gross margin). In overlifting, the Company recognises a sale and then defers it through Other accounts payable (Note 20). Underlifting is in fact, on a substance over form basis, a sale made by the partner of stock which by right belongs to Galp (entitlement), and therefore falls under the scope of IAS 18.14. Overlifting is a sale made by Galp of stock that by right belongs (entitlement) to the partner. Therefore, the revenue recognition principle is not satisfied and for this reason the sale is deferred through other accounts payable. Payments and receipts of over and underlifting are compensated in a subsequent date in barrels of crude, as defined in the Production Sharing Agreement (PSA). The Company considers that in terms of substance over form the production shared under the Production Sharing Agreement is not subject to price risk since the operation is for use of the contractors and the settlement of the under and overlifting is made through physical delivery (Barrels of crude). Therefore, the accounts receivable and accounts payable are not under the scope of IAS 39, that is, the measurement at fair value, in accordance with the exemption referred in paragraph 5 (own use exemption).

The increase and decrease in the caption "Impairment of other receivables" in the net amount of €1 m is included in the caption "Provisions and impairment losses on receivables" (Note 7).
The caption "Loans granted" includes the amount of €459 m (US\$551 m) relating to a loan granted by the Group to Tip Top Energy, SARL (Company from Sinopec Group) on 28 March 2012, renewable every three months until September 2018, remunerated at a three-month LIBOR interest rate plus a spread and registered as a current asset. In the period ending 31 December 2017, interest related to loans granted related to related companies amounted to €7 m.
The amount of €70 m recorded in the caption "Other receivables – underlifting" represents the amounts to be received by the Group for the lifting of barrels of crude oil below the production quota (underlifting) and is valued at the lower of the market price at the sale date and the market price on 31 December 2017.
The amount of €127 m presented in the caption "Other receivable – Non-operated Blocks", includes the amount of €79 m related to carry from public participation interests, referring to amounts receivable from public partners during the exploration period. Farm-in contracts agreed with partners consider that, during the exploration period, the Group is responsible for investment through cash calls and requested by the operator to the partner up to their participation limit.
The caption "Accrued income - sales and services rendered not yet invoiced - Natural Gas", amounting to €32 m, is mainly related with the billing of natural gas consumption in December, to be issued to customers in January.
The caption "Accrued income - sales and services rendered not yet invoiced - Electricity", amounting to €52 m, is mainly related with the billing of electricity consumption in December, to be issued to customers in January.
Expenses recorded in deferred costs amounting to €27 m, relate to prepayments of rents regarding service station leases and are registered as a cost over the respective concession period, which varies between 17 and 32 years.
There are core activities and pass through activities within the Retailers of Last Resort (RLR). This classification relates to the nature of which, in the first there is "value creation" intrinsic to the company and in the second activity the company is limited to billing its customers, and to pass on to the companies the amounts due for their core activities.
In general terms, in the case of the pass-through activities:
• For RLRs, they charge to the end customers the tariffs for access to the transport and distribution infrastructures (UGS, URT and URD tariffs), which pass on the ONGDNs (the fraction of transportation access fee is then passed by these to REN) and the cost of natural gas is simply passed on to the Retailer of Last Resort Wholesaler (RLRW) in the Energy Tariff.

The amount of €47 m relates to the cumulative difference between the natural gas acquisition cost from the Group's suppliers and regulated tariffs defined by ERSE for each Gas Year, applied in the billing to customers. This difference will be recovered by the tariff reviews of the following years, in accordance with the mechanism established by ERSE. These amounts are to be paid at euribor 12 months plus a spread defined annually by ERSE.
Galp recorded €62m in non-current assets as of 31 December, 2017, relating to the energy tariff deviation, which will be recovered in accordance with the time schedule defined by ERSE. Presently, since the Gas Year 2014-2015, this process is interrupted.

The caption "Adjustment to tariff deviation – regulated revenue" amounting to €14 m is related to the difference between the estimated regulated revenue published for the regulated activity and the revenue for the real invoices issued (Note 6). These amounts are remunerated at the twelve-month Euribor rate, plus a spread defined annually by ERSE.
From 2010, financial statements for ERSE, started to be reported in accordance with the calendar year. Consequently, the opening balances have been reclassified to reflect the calendar year.
During the year ending 31 December, 2017, the differences for the Group's Regulated Revenue for the calendar year 2015 were settled, resulting in an amount payable of €3 m. As the accrual made is lower than the amount agreed, the Group recognised in the caption Rendered services the respective decrease amounting to €3 m.
Items contained in Section IX of the Tariff Regulations: "Compensation for the application of tariff uniformity of the Tariff Regulations" defines the Compensations and Transfers between Regulated Entities. These amounts, enshrined in the annual publication of ERSE for Regulated Revenues are designed to ensure the recovery of the regulated revenues and ensure economic and financial equilibrium for the regulated entities.
Finally, it should be noted that the ERSE has established this compensation and transfer mechanism to allow the establishment of a uniform national tariff, since from the consumption structure in each distribution area (absolute size of the consumption and weight on the domestic and industrial sectors) there are distributors which are not able to achieve a recovery of the revenue ("insufficient" tariff), while in others there is an over- recovery ("high" tariff). Thus, in the latter case ("payers") the excess income recovered is transferred to the former ("receivers"), ensuring a balanced recovery of the regulated revenues.

8.1. Financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements
as of 31 December 2017
Inventories (merchandise, raw and subsidiary material, finished and semi-finished products, and work in progress) are stated at the lower acquisition cost (in the case of merchandise and raw and subsidiary material) or production cost (in the case of finished and semi-finished products and work in progress) or net realisable value.
Net realisable value corresponds to the normal selling price less costs to complete production and costs to sell.
Whenever cost exceeds net realisable value, the difference is recorded in the operating cost caption "Cost of sales".
As such, the cost of inventories used/sold is determined as follows:
Crude oil – the cost includes the invoice price, transport and insurance costs, being the cost of sales determined on a weighted average basis, applicable to a single family of products, which includes all crude oil types.
Other raw materials (excluding general materials) – the cost includes the invoice price, transport and insurance costs. The cost of sales is determined on a weighted average basis, by family of products, determined considering the characteristics of the different materials.
General materials – the cost includes the invoice price, transport and insurance costs. The cost of sales is determined on a weighted average basis.
Production cost includes the cost of materials, external supplies and services and overheads.
Crude oil – crude oil produced in the oil exploration and production activity held in inventory as at 31 December of each year, corresponds to the Company's share of the total inventory of each development area. Such inventories are measured at their production cost, which includes direct production costs, the depreciation for the year and abandonment provision
costs. The cost of sales is determined on a weighted average basis. However, extracted crude oil, namely in Brazil, is valued at net realisable value in the statement of financial position, as there is a contract with the operator for the sale of crude oil and also as this is a common practice for oil producers to value their crude stock at the net realisable value, in accordance with IAS 2.3 par. a) and IAS 2.4.
Oil products - finished and semi-finished products are measured at production cost, which includes the cost of raw and other materials consumption, direct labour costs and production overheads. If acquired from third parties they are measured at cost, which includes the invoice price and transport and insurance costs. The cost of sales is determined on a weighted average basis applied to families of products considering the characteristics of the products.
The Petrogal subgroup includes, in the caption finished and semi-finished products, the Tax on Oil Products (Imposto sobre Produtos Petrolíferos – ISP) relating to finished goods dispatched for consumption which are subject to that tax and is stated at cost (since it is similar to a customs duty). The cost of sales is determined on a weighted average basis. This tax is reflected in Cost of Sales when the sale of finished goods occurs and it is also reflected in the selling price of the products in equal value. Galp details the amount recognised as cost of sale in Note 6.
Other finished and semi-finished products – production costs include raw materials and variable and fixed production costs. The cost of sales is determined on a weighted average basis.
Cost includes the invoice price, transport and insurance costs. The cost of sales is determined on a weighted average basis.
The cost of imported natural gas also includes the costs relating to transport and rights of passage through Moroccan territory incurred up to the Portuguese border.
As mentioned above, the Petrogal subgroup also includes, in the inventories caption, Tax on Oil Products relating to goods already dispatched which are subject to that tax.
Raw materials supplies and goods in transit are not available for consumption or sale and are segregated from other inventories and valued at specific cost

As of 31 December 2017, and 31 December 2016, the Group's liability to competitors in relation to strategic reserves, which are satisfied by sales in advance, amounted to €12 m and €35 m respectively (Note 20.2).
The subsidiary Petróleos de Portugal – Petrogal, SA has a contract with the national entity for the fuel market (ENMC) for the storage and exchange of crude oil and for the storage of refined products, for the national strategic reserve. The ENMC's crude oil and refined products are stored in Petrogal's installations, in such a way that allows ENMC to audit them whenever it so wishes, in terms of quantity and quality. In accordance with the contract, Petrogal must, when so required by ENMC, exchange the stored crude oil for refined products, receiving in exchange an amount representing the refining margin as of the date of exchange. Crude oil and refined products stored in the installations of Petróleos de Portugal – Petrogal, SA under this contract are not reflected in the Group financial statements.

In accordance with the Company deeds and Commercial Law (Código das Sociedades Comerciais - CSC), the Company must transfer a minimum of 5% of its annual net profit to a legal reserve until the reserve reaches 20% of share capital. The legal reserve cannot be distributed to the shareholders but may, in certain circumstances, be used to increase capital or to absorb losses after all the other reserves have been utilised. In 2017 the caption did not present any changes as the legal reserves have already reached 20% of share capital.

* Comprehensive income for the year attributable to shareholders.
On 28 March 2012,WIP, a subsidiary of Tip Top Energy, SARL (Sinopec Group), subscribed and paid a capital increase amounting to \$4,797,528,044.74 in respect of the subsidiaries Petrogal Brasil, S.A. and Galp Sinopec Brazil Services, B.V. (previously denominated Galp Brazil Services, B.V.), acquiring 30% of the shares and voting rights of both Galp subsidiaries.
As a result of the capital increase operation, the Galp Group has retained the operational and financial control of the companies, for which it now owns 70% of the capital and voting rights, continuing, under IFRS 10, to consolidate their assets by the full consolidation method. Accordingly, the difference of €2,493 m between the amount paid of the capital increase and the book value of the equity at the date of the increase was recognised in equity under the caption "Reserves".
In July 2013, under the terms of a contract signed in August 2012 in which it committed to purchase the remaining shares at completion of the plant, the Group acquired 99% of the capital of Enerfuel, S.A. As the Group already had control, the Company was already consolidated using the full consolidation method. Accordingly, the negative difference of €31 k between the amount paid and the book value of equity at the acquisition date, was recognised in equity under reserves.
On 21 December 2015, the Group acquired from Enagás – SGPS, S.A. 33.0541% of the capital of the subsidiary Setgás – Comercialização, S.A., which was previously controlled by the Group and consolidated using the full consolidation method. Accordingly, the difference of €450 k between the amount paid and the book value of the equity at the acquisition date, was recognised in equity under reserves.

Proposal for Galp allocation of results
as of 31 December 2017
Some Group companies are commited to pay their employees' pension supplements due to age, disability and pensions to surviving relatives, as well as early retirement and preretirement pensions. With the exception of early retirement and pre-retirement pensions, these payments are calculated on an incremental basis in accordance with the years of service of the employee. Early retirement and pre-retirement pensions mainly correspond to the employee's wage. When applicable, these commitments also include the payment of Social Security of pre-retired personnel, voluntary social insurance of early retirees and retirement bonuses payable upon normal retirement.
The Group has created autonomous pension funds managed by external entities (Fundo de Pensões Petrogal, Fundo de Pensões Sacor Marítima and Fundo de Pensão Galp Energia España) to cover their liabilities relating to pension supplements. Although some liabilities, such as, early retirement pensions are covered by specific provisions included on the statement of financial position caption Post-employment and other employee benefits liabilities.
At the end of each reporting period the companies obtain actuarial valuations by a specialised entity in accordance with the Projected Unit Credit Method and compare the amount of their liabilities with past services with the market value of the funds and with the balance of the liabilities recognised, in order to determine any additional liabilities that need to be recorded.
Actuarial gains and losses determined in each year and for each of the benefits granted, resulting from adjustments to the demographic assumptions, experience adjustments, are recorded in the statement of comprehensive income impacting the financial position.
The discount rate is determined by the actuary through developed models that take into account the maturity of the liabilities and characteristics of the population for each plan. The discount rate consists of half-yearly rates (i.e. zero coupon) developed from high-quality corporate bond pricing and yield information in accordance with IAS 19.
Net interest related with retirement benefits is reflected on the income statement caption Net interest on retirement benefits and other benefits.
The benefit plans identified by the Petrogal Sub-Group is complementary to the public social security scheme, in accordance with the rules officially in force on December 31, 1993 and provides the following benefits:
The Petrogal closed Pension Fund has the purpose of paying supplementary pensions for old age and disability, as well as survivors' pensions.
The Sacor Maritima Defined Benefit Plan is complementary to the public schemes and provides the following benefits:
The closed Sacor Maritima Pension Fund aims for the payment of pension supplements for retirement and disability and survival pensions.
The pension plans are governed by Portuguese law applied to pension funds and supervised by the Supervisory Authority for Insurance and Pensions (Autoridade de Supervisão de Seguros e Pensões – ASF).
The Fund Management Company is responsible for executing all necessary or convenient acts and operations to ensure the good administration and management of the Fund in accordance with what has established in the Constitution Agreement and in the Fund Management Contract.
CGD Pensões is the fund management company of the Petrogal Fund, and Pensões Gere manages the Sacor Maritima pension fund.
Two scenarios have been used for the calculation of the liabilities of these defined benefit plans:
The liabilities presented in this report have been calculated based on the Projected Unit Credit method. The principle behind this method is to cover the benefits of each of the participants of the plan as they accrue, taking into account the future growth of costs associated with the benefit under analysis. Thus, the total cost for each participant is divided into units, each of which is associated with a past or future year of service.
For the purpose of the assessment, the cumulative liability of an individual is the present value of the accumulated benefits, at the reference date.
Post Service Liability (PSL) result from the sum of the accumulated liabilities for all participants in the plan.
On 31 December 2002 the Portuguese Insurance Institute authorised the creation of the Galp Energia defined contribution Pension Fund. In 2003 Galp Energia, SGPS, S.A. created a defined contribution Pension Fund for its employees and allowed employees of other Group companies to join this fund. Presently, Galp Energia SGPS, Petróleos de Portugal – Petrogal, S.A., Galp Energia SA, Galp Exploração e Produção Petrolífera, SAAGA – Sociedade Açoreana de Armazenagem de Gás, SA, Galp Gás Natural SA, Galp Gas & Power, SA and Galp Power SA are associates of the Fund. When the new plan is chosen, Group companies contribute with an annually defined amount to the fund, corresponding to a percentage of the salary of each employee, which is recorded as a cost for that year
In the Defined Contribution Plan, the benefits to be attributed to employees are the result of the contributions made up to the time of retirement by both the Company and employees.
The Defined Contribution Plan provides that in the event of death or invalidity of a worker in active employment, the monthly benefit to be paid added to the Social Security pension shall guarantee a minimum total pension equal to 50% of the pensionable salary of the employee on the date of occurrence.
Under such plans, the Companies make contributions of 3% of the pensionable salary and a "matching" contribution of an amount equal to the employee's contribution, up to a limit of 1% of the pensionable salary.
The annual cost is fixed as a percentage and has no risk to changes in life expectancy, fund performance, Social Security contributions, and does not require actuarial valuations.
The Group's costs with respect to healthcare, life insurance and defined contribution minimum benefit plan are recognised over the period the employees entitled to these benefits are in service of the respective companies, the liability being reflected in the statement of financial position caption Postemployment and other employee benefits liabilities. Payments to the beneficiaries are deducted from the liability.
The health insurance benefit aims to cover medical/hospital expenses in accordance with existing policies.
The life insurance benefit aims to ensure financial protection of employees and/or spouses and children in the event of death or disability and in accordance with the existing policies.
At the end of each reporting period the companies obtain actuarial valuations by a specialised entity in accordance with the Projected Unit Credit Method and compare the amount of their liabilities with past services with the market value of the funds and with the balance of the liabilities recognised, in order to determine any additional liabilities that need to be recorded.
The actuarial gains and losses recorded in each year are recorded as described above.

| Real Return on Plan Assets | 15 | 14 | 6 | 37 | 11 |
Real longevity higher than projected may lead to an increase in liabilities.
A decrease of the reference interest rate used as discount rate leads to increased liabilities, which can be mitigated in the situation where a Fund exists as a financing vehicle, by the exposure of the assets to the Bond segment.
The main investment risks are the risk of the interest rate, credit risk, equity market risk and currency risk. The implications that the level of risk related to the investment policy may have on compliance with the minimum solvency of the fund, result from interest rate fluctuations, exposure to shares and alternative markets, resulting in a lower performance to the discount rate. Being, in this specific case, the risk of interest rate fluctuation the most relevant, since the portfolios are primarily invested in this asset class. This, together with the impact of risks which cannot be mitigated (e.g. variations of the population), increases the probability of necessary additional contributions (other than the current service cost) to maintain the solvency of the fund.
Asset/Liability management strategy used for risk mitigation
The fund's current investment strategy resulted from an alignment study between the financial asset and liabilities promoted by the Associate. The Associate collaborates with the Actuary in monitoring the adequacy of the financial assets that comprise the portfolio of the fund and the liabilities assumed by the pension plan.
The Fund management entity has software in which the investment restrictions established by the legislation in force at each moment are modeled. It has also modeled the restrictions arising from the Investment Policy agreed with the Associate. Since all assets in the portfolio are classified and framed in one or more groupings created for this purpose, daily deviations control reports are available automatically and the need for management adjustments is analysed.
Trade payables and other payables are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Usually, the amortised cost of these liabilities does not differ from their nominal value.
As of 31 December 2017, and 31 December 2016 the amounts recorded in the caption Trade payables were as follows:
| Unit: €m | ||
|---|---|---|
| Captions | December 2017 |
December 2016 |
| Trade payables | 889 | 850 |
| Trade payables - current accounts | 227 | 363 |
| Trade payables - pending invoices | 662 | 487 |
The balance of the caption "Trade payables –pending invoices" mainly corresponds to the purchase of crude oil, natural gas and goods in transit at those dates.

8.1. Financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2017
Galp constitutes, under the law in force, the strategic reserves of certain entities for which it is required to do so and that are Galp' customers. Strategic reserves, as the remaining stock in the statement of financial position, are valued at the lower of book value (Weighted Average Basis) and the market price. The advance payments are valued at market value, depending on the contractual terms of each customer/operator and are updated on monthly basis. Market prices are those of refined products which constitute the strategic reserves. Galp charges a storage fee in respect of the strategic stock stored for third parties.

allocation of results
Proposal for Galp 8.1. Financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2017
The caption "Advances on sales" amounting to €12 m is related with Group liabilities with competitors for strategic reserves (Note 14).
The amount of €34 m presented in the caption "Other payables - Overlifting" represents the Group's liability in respect of excess crude oil lifted considering its production quota.
The amount of €11 m recorded in the caption "ISP – Other operators credit" is related to the fact that the bonded warehouse is confined to Galp. Therefore, it is Galp's responsibility to collect the ISP (tax on petroleum products) from counterparties (partners/competitors) and to deliver it over to the State
The amount of €158 m recorded in the caption "Loans – Other shareholders" refers, essentially, to the following:
• Winland International Petroleum, SARL, granted loans amounting to €157 m (US\$188 m) under the form of shareholders loans to the subsidiary Petrogal Brasil, S.A. This loan bears interest at market rates and has a maturity of 10 years. In the period ending 31 December 2017 the amount of €7 m is recognised under the caption "Interest", regarding loans obtained from related companies (Note 9).
Government investment grants are recognised as income over the useful life of the assets. The amount to be recognised in future periods amounts to €7 m.
Considering the consolidated net result presented by the Group, the net income for the year includes an accrual of €21 m, related to the participation of the employees in the result for the period, which is included in the caption Bonus to employees current, in the amount of €24 m.
The caption "Non-current tangible and intangible assets suppliers" essentially refers to surface rights.
Land use rights presented in the Galp financial statements represent exclusive use rights over such land. These rights grant the same legal rights and obligations attributed to the owners of the land (in particular, the rights to build and use) over a given period of time, as contractually established.
The most relevant land use rights relate to the Sines refinery, in Portugal, with an initial period of 30 years, and being continuously extended by option of Galp, which is accounted for as intangible assets with a net book value of €51 m. Regarding Spain, several land surface rights recognised as intangible assets present the net book value of €22 m.
The information regarding the maturity of the liabilities for the land surface rights is detailed as follows:
| Unit: €m | |
|---|---|
| Net amount | 68 |
| Total | 76 |
| <1 year | 6 |
| >1 year and <5 years | 24 |
| >5 years | 46 |
| Interests (Amortized cost) | (8) |
Considering the maturity of the land surface rights and the conditions for renewal of such rights, they are similar to a financial lease.
Provisions are recorded when, and only when, the Group has a present obligation (legal, contractual or constructive) resulting from a past event, and it is probable is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are reviewed and adjusted on each consolidated statement of financial position date so as to reflect the best estimate at that date.
Galp measures the uncertain tax positions, including provisions for taxes, by the tax estimate amount and not by probabilities.
Provisions for abandonment costs are intended to cover all the costs incurred by the Company at the end of the useful production life of oil fields.
Provisions are based on the operator's estimate of total abandonment costs. The Company recognises the abandonment provisions proportionally, as it builds each production well in order to meet its decommissioning obligations. Therefore, it apportions the expenditure with the dismantling of the wells and environmental recovery by the number of wells that it estimates to build, recognising over time the obligation in proportion to the wells already constructed. The estimated expenditure's net present value is calculated at a risk-free interest rate and a corresponding amount is capitalised in tangible assets. The provision for abandonment is subsequently increased by the risk-free interest rate and increased or decreased by changes in the operator's estimates. Changes to estimates also affect the valuation of the asset.
Estimated expenditure to be incurred and capitalised in tangible assets is depreciated using the UOP Method, in which that expenditure is multiplied by a coefficient that is the proportion of the volume produced in each depreciation period in relation to the proved developed reserves at the end of the period plus production for the period.
The changes in provisions in the year ending 31 December 2017 and 2016 were as follows:

The provision for current lawsuits amounts to €19 m and includes mainly: an amount of €4 m relating to liability for fines applied by the Competition Authority for contracts entered into with distributors in the LPG business and the amount of €10 m related to the provision of the estimate for payment of an additional amount of the special participation tax in Brazil. The amount of €2 m included in the heading Adjustments corresponds to translation differences arising from the translation from the functional currency to the Group reporting currency (EUR) mainly from this provision.
The provision for financial investments reflects the joint commitment of the Group in respect of its associates and joint ventures that have reported negative equity (Note 5).
The caption provision for taxes in the amount of €8 m includes essentially the provision to cover a tax contingency related to a correction to the taxable amount of the subsidiary Petrogal for the years 2001 and 2002.
During the year ending December 31, 2017, the decrease in the provision by €21 m resulted from the reversal of a provision for the Angolan tax authority for additional liquidations of IRP.
The amount of €18 m presented in the caption Environmental provisions is related to the costs associated with the soil decontamination of certain facilities occupied by the Group where, due to legal obligation, a decision has already been taken to carry out the decontamination.
During the year ending December 31, 2017, the increase in the provision of €15 m arises from the creation of the provision for decontamination of soils in storage facilities.
The amount of €281m recorded in provisions for the abandonment of blocks is destined to cover all costs to be incurred with the dismantling of assets and soil decontamination at the end of the useful life of those areas. The changes in provisions for the abandonment of blocks at year end were as follows:

(b) The provision is recorded in USD, being the currency valuation for the functional currency of the company(ies) recorded in the statement (P/L) under the heading Exchange (loss)/ gains.
The increases recorded are mainly due to the start of production of new production wells and update of the abandonment estimate cost.
In the year ending December 31, 2017, the provision for "Energy Sector Extraordinary Contribution I – CESE I" includes the amount of €70 m corresponding to the total responsibility on that date, and which date that the group is disputing. This provision was increased in the amount of €18 m, recognised in the income statement under the caption " Energy Sector Extraordinary Contribution " (Note 10).
In the year ending December 31, 2017, the caption provisions for the tax "Energy Sector Extraordinary Contribution II – CESE II" includes the amount of €202 m corresponding to the total responsibility on that date, and which date that the group is disputing. An increase of €40m was recorded in the current year, recognised as described in Note 10, in Deferred Costs and in the results under the item Energy Sector Extraordinary Contribution.
As at 31 December 2017 the caption "Provisions – other risks and charges", amounting to €21 m, comprises €7 m for the provision related to potential compensation to the buyer of 22.5 % in GGND in case CESE I tax becomes due, if the subsidiaries of the Galp Group Gás Natural Distribuição S.A. need to make the payment of CESE I.
The remaining amounts are regarding past events mentioned in prior years financial statements.
Proposal for Galp allocation of results
as of 31 December 2017
The Group uses derivative instruments in managing financial risks as a way to hedge such risks. Derivative instruments to hedge financial risks are not used for trading purposes.
Derivative instruments used by the Group to hedge cash flows mainly relate to commodities price hedging (electricity). The indices are as identical as possible to actual purchases. Derivative instruments used by the Group to hedge fair value mainly relate to commodities price hedging (natural gas). The indices are identical to the contracts signed with customers.
The following criteria are used by the Group to classify derivative instruments as cash flow and fair value hedging instruments:
Financial derivatives are initially recorded at fair value calculated by independent external entities using generally accepted valuation methods (such as Discounted cash flows, Black-Scholes model, Binomial and Trinomial models and Monte-Carlo simulations, among others, depending on the type and nature of the financial derivative).
Changes in the fair value of these instruments are presented in the equity caption "Hedging reserves", being transferred to the income statement when the hedged instrument affects profit and loss.
In fair value hedge, the derivatives are recorded at their fair value through profit and loss. In situations where the hedged instrument is not measured at fair value (i.e. commodity trading contracts), the effective portion of the hedge is adjusted to the book value of the hedged instrument through the income statement.
Hedge accounting is discontinued when the derivative instruments mature or are sold. Where the derivative instrument stops qualifying as a hedging instrument, the accumulated fair value differences deferred in the equity caption "Hedging reserves" are transferred to the income statement or added to the book value of the asset which gave rise to the hedging transaction, and subsequent revaluations are recognised directly in the income statement.
A review was made of the Galp Group's existing contracts so as to detect embedded derivatives, namely contractual clauses that could be considered as financial derivatives and no financial derivatives that should be recognised at fair value have been identified.
When embedded derivatives exist in other financial instruments or other contracts, they are recognised as separate derivatives in situations in which the risks and characteristics are not intimately related to the contracts and in situations in which the contracts are not reflected at fair value with unrealised gains and losses reflected in the income statement.
To manage the risk related to the variance in the Group's refining margin, the Group uses derivative financial instruments, essentially crude oil and finished product swaps. Although these instruments are contracted to hedge financial risk in accordance with the Group's risk management policies, they do not comply with the requirements of IAS 39 for hedge accounting, and so changes in their fair value are recorded in the income statement for the period in which they occur. These investments are measured at fair value.
In accordance with IFRS 13 an entity must classify the fair value measurement, based on a fair value hierarchy that reflects the meaning of the inputs used in measurement. The fair value hierarchy must have the following levels:
The Group may use financial derivatives to hedge interest rate risk, market fluctuation risks, particularly the risks of variation in crude oil prices, finished products and refining margins, as well as price variation risk of natural gas and electricity which affect the financial value of the assets and the future cash flows expected from its activities.
Financial derivatives are defined, in accordance with IAS/ IFRS, as "financial assets at fair value through profit and loss" or "financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss". Financial derivatives on commodities that are contracted to hedge the fair value variability or to address any risks that may affect the results of customer contracts of exercise are termed as "fair value hedge". On the other hand, financial derivatives on commodities that are contracted to hedge cash flow of customer contracts are termed as "cash flow hedges".
The fair value of financial derivatives is Level 2, and was determined by external and independent financial entities, applying evaluation models (such as Discounted cash flows, Black-Scholes model, Binomial and Trinomial models and Monte-Carlo simulations, among other models depending on the type and characteristics of the financial derivative under analysis) based on generally accepted principles.
Futures are traded in the stock exchange and subject to a Clearing House, and as such their valuation is determined by quoted prices (Level 1 from fair value hierarchy).
The fair value of the remaining financial derivatives (Swaps, Forwards and Options) booked were determined by financial entities using observable market inputs and using generally accepted techniques and models.

Proposal for Galp 8.1. Financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2017
Galp Group has financial derivatives over commodities recognised as fair value hedge and cash-flow hedge. These financial derivatives have been contracted for the reduction of risks associated with contracts signed with customers and suppliers.
Accordingly, the income statement shows, under the MTM (Mark-to-market) caption, the negative amount of €22 m, through the caption Other financial instruments, related to the fair value hedge and in Equity, under the caption Hedging reserves, the positive amount of €1 m relating to cash-flow hedge. The cash flow hedges reflected in Equity, when closed are reclassified to income for the year. The amount of closed hedging instruments amounts to positive €20 m, and was recognised under the heading Cost of Sale.
Galp Group trades financial instruments denominated as futures. Given their high liquidity, as they are exchange-traded, they are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit and loss and included in Cash and cash equivalents caption if its maturity and management intention are for maintaining it for less than 3 months in its portfolio (IAS 7.7). Otherwise, these financial derivatives are included in the portfolio of the remaining derivatives. The gains and losses on commodity futures (Brent and electricity) are classified in the caption "Cost of sales". Changes in the fair value of open positions are recorded in financial income, under income from financial instruments. As these futures are exchange-traded, subject to a Clearing House, gains and losses are continuously recorded in the income statement.

allocation of results
Tip Top Energy, an entity of the Sinopec Group, and Galp established a Loan Facility Agreement in which they established that part of the funds resulting from the capital increase made by Sinopec in Petrogal Brasil would be lent to the shareholders repayment plan for these loans indexed to the CAPEX needs of E&P Brazil with a maturity of March 2016 (4 years). However, as loan balances have been reduced less than expected due to a more efficient investment level, Galp and the partner have agreed to extend the repayment maturity of these Sinopec loans.
On May 2017, Galp and Sinopec agreed to change the terms of the final reimbursement clause established in the Loan Facility Agreement, being established as the maturity date September 28, 2018. In view of the foregoing and with the aim of giving greater flexibility to the management of the agreement, the parties further agreed that the Loan Facility Agreement would be renewed from September 2017 for successive periods of 3 months until 28 September 2018, and either party may notify the remainder that it does not intend to renew, and that notification should be made with at least 180 days before the next renewal.
Regarding the credit risk of the balance, Sinopec has a rating of A + (S & P) and A1 (Moody's). Neither Sinopec require Galp nor
Galp Sinopec is entitled to any guarantee from Sinopec. The loan agreement follows an unsecured loan format.
The loan that Galp Sinopec Brazil Services BV granted to Sinopec on March 28, 2012, is remunerated at a 3-month LIBOR interest rate, plus a spread, reaching maturity in September 2018.
In the year ending December 31, 2017, interest amount of €8m was recorded under interest related to loans granted to related companies (Notes 9 and 13.2).
The movement in the Loans granted to Sinopec since the execution of the agreement up to 31 December, 2017 is as follows:

The description of the type of reserves and resources can be found in the glossary attached to this report.
The Group has an organisation and systems to identify, measure and control the different risks to which it is exposed to and uses various financial instruments to hedge, in accordance exposed to with corporate guidelines common to the Group. The contracting of these instruments is centralised.
Galp is exposed to several types of market risks (price risk, exchange rate risk and interest rate risk) inherent to the petroleum, natural gas and electricity industries, which affect the Group's financial results. The main market risks result from fluctuation of the crude oil price, its derivatives and the exchange rate.
Galp discloses in the Management Report a chapter on Risk Management and the main risks to which the Group is exposed to including operating risks, not mentioned in this document.
a) Commodities price risk
Due to the nature of its business, Galp is exposed to the risk of volatility of the international price of crude oil, of its derivatives and of natural gas and electricity. The frequent fluctuations in the price of crude oil and refined products generate uncertainty and have a significant impact on operating results.
The Group partially controls this risk through the derivatives market for oil and natural gas, to protect the refining margin from adverse market changes.
In respect of the natural gas and electricity activities, the Group partially controls this risk through the establishment of natural gas and electricity purchase and sale contracts with similar indexes, so as to protect the business margin from adverse market changes.
b) Exchange rate risk
The US dollar is the currency used for the reference price in the oil and natural gas markets. Since Galp prepares its financial statements in Euros, this factor, among others, exposes its operations to exchange rate risk. Given that the operating margin is mainly related to US dollars, the Company is exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates, which can contribute positively or negatively to income and margins.
Since this is a currency risk associated to other variables, such as the price of oil and natural gas, the Company takes a cautious approach to hedging risk, as there are natural hedges between the statement of financial position and cash flows. The level of exposure of cash flows and especially the statement of financial position is a function of the price levels of oil and natural gas.
As a result of the above, Galp controls its exchange rate exposure on an integrated basis rather than on each operation exposed to exchange risk. The purpose of exchange rate risk management is to limit the uncertainty resulting from variations in exchange rates. As of 31 December 2017, Galp held derivatives to hedge exchange rate risk (Note 22).
The total interest rate position is managed centrally. Interest rate exposure relates mainly to bank loans and bonds bearing interests. The purpose of managing interest rate risk is to reduce the volatility of financial costs in the income statement. The interest rate risk management policy aims to reduce exposure to variable rates fixing interest rate risk on loans, using a mix of variable and fixed rate instruments.
As at 31 December 2017 Galp did not hold interest rate derivatives positions.

Proposal for Galp 8.1. Financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2017
The analysis prepared by the Group in accordance with IFRS 7 and IFRS 13 is intended to illustrate the sensitivity of profit before taxes and of equity to potential variations in the Brent, natural gas and electricity prices, exchange rates and interest rates of financial instruments, as defined in IAS 32, such as financial assets and liabilities and financial derivatives reflected on the statement of financial position as of 31 December 2017 and 2016. The financial instruments affected by the above mentioned market risks include Trade receivables, Other receivables, Trade payables, Other payables, Loans, Cash and Financial derivatives. When cash flow hedges are applied, fair value is recorded in the equity caption Hedging reserves only if it is shown that the hedge is efficient.
There may be financial instruments with more than one market risk, in which case the sensitivity analysis is performed for each variable at a time, the others remaining constant, therefore ignoring any correlation between them, which is unlikely to occur.
Sensitivity analyses do not include the impact of current or deferred taxes, which could reduce the presented variations, depending on the tax laws in the various geographic areas where the Group operates, as well as fiscal conditions for each company. Foreign currency investments were not included in the analysis as the Group does not record them at fair value as defined in IAS 39.
Fluctuations of monetary balances in foreign currencies may directly affect the caption Translation reserves included in Equity in Galp Group's consolidated financial statements, if those monetary balances are stated in the same functional currency of the individual company under analysis.
Therefore, the sensitivity analysis is illustrative and does not represent actual current loss or gain, or other current variations in equity.
The following assumptions were considered in the sensitivity analysis of exchange rates:
• Exchange rate variation of +/- 10%
The sensitivity analysis includes significant balances in foreign currency relating to Trade receivables, Other receivables, Trade payables, Other payables, Loans, Financial derivatives and Cash. The sensitivity analysis performed on exchange rates, presented in the statement of financial position, is as follows:

The effect of changes in the proved petroleum reserves as a result of changes in the Brent price was not calculated.
Commodity "Brent Futures" were not considered in the sensitivity analysis performed on the commodity price derivatives, as these have a monthly maturity.

The analysis was not affected by interest rate derivatives as the referred derivatives were not noted in subsidiaries, but only in the associates and joint ventures.
Liquidity risk is defined as the amount by which profit and/or cash flow of the business are affected as a result of the Group's constraint to obtain the financial resources necessary to meet its operating and investment commitments.
Galp finances itself through cash flows generated by its operations and maintains a diversified portfolio of loans and bonds. The Group has access to credit amounts that are not fully used but that are at its disposal. These credits can cover all loans that are repayable in 12 months. The available short term and medium/ long term credit lines that are not being used, amount to 1,3 billion Euros as of 31 December 2017 and are sufficient to meet any immediate demand. In addition to these credits, the Group had approximately 1.2 billion Euros of cash and cash equivalents, as stated in the statement of financial position, as of 31 December 2017 which, combined with the credit facilities, amounted to 2.5 billion Euros of liquidity as of 31 December 2017.
Credit risk results from potential non-compliance, by one of the parties, of contractual obligations to pay and so the risk level depends on the financial strength of the counterparty. In addition, counterparty credit risk exists on monetary investments and hedging instruments. Credit risk limits are established by Galp and are implemented in the various business segments. The credit risk limits are defined and documented and credit limits for certain counterparties are based on their credit ratings, period of exposure and monetary amount of the exposure to credit risk.
Impairment of accounts receivable is detailed in Note 13.
Galp has insurance contracts in place to reduce its exposure to various risks resulting from insurance claims that may occur during the pursuit of its activities, as follows:
Regarding the contract termination process related to the construction of the "Sacor II" ship and following the decision of the arbitration court, the manufacturer was ordered to pay the sum of €4 m (€3 m plus interest). On 3 April 2013, the insolvency administrator filed for closure and liquidation of the manufacturing company. As of 31 December 2017, the effective liquidation from the sale of the assets is pending. Due to uncertainty regarding the amount receivable resulting from liquidation, the amount receivable was not recorded in the financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2017.
As of 31 December 2017, the Company and its subsidiaries had the following contingent liabilities:
i) A legal proceeding which was brought against the Group by a subcontractor in relation to the construction of "Sacor II" ship amounting to a total of €2 m, is currently suspended at the Lisbon Maritime Court, awaiting the final judgment. The Board of Directors, supported by its legal advisors believes that it is not possible to determine the responsibilities that may arise to
the subsidiary Sacor Maritima SA as a result of that process, but considers the chances of a condemnation to be reduced.
The Group's financial commitments not included in the statement of financial position as of 31 December 2017 are:
The valued contractual commitments are presented below:
| Unit: €m | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2018 | 2019 | 2020 | 2021 | 2022 | Post-2022 | |
| Natural gas purchases |
1.247 | 1.217 | 1.219 | 658 | 555 | 1.871 |
These amounts refer to contractual commitments to purchase natural gas under long-term contracts with Take-or-Pay clauses negotiated and held for own use. These contracts are normally made for 20-25 years, require a minimum purchase quantity and are subject to price revision mechanisms indexed to international oil / gas quotes. The amounts were calculated based on the natural gas prices on December 31, 2017. The contractual purchase commitments updated at a WACC rate of 6.4% represent about 5.5 billion Euros.
| Unit: €m | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2018 | 2019 | 2020 | 2021 | 2022 | Post-2022 | |
| Natural gas sales |
571 | 325 | 325 | 163 | 163 | 204 |
These amounts refer to contractual commitments for the sale of natural gas under medium and long-term contracts with negotiated Take-or-Pay clauses. The amounts were calculated based on the natural gas prices on 31 December 2017. The contractual sales commitments updated at a WACC rate of 6.4 % represent approximately 1.5 billion Euros.
As part of ongoing business operations, the Group has entered into agreements with other parties where commitments have been given for commercial, regulatory or other operational purposes totalling €421 m. As of December 31, 2017, responsibilities with collaterals granted mainly includes:
iv) Also within the scope of this financing, Galp Energia SGPS SA provides a guarantee covering 1/9 of the DSU on behalf of ENH ("Empresa Nacional de Hidrocarbonetos" and one of consortium members of Coral South FLNG project), which corresponds to the Galp's share on the consortium excluding ENH. As of December 31, 2017, Galp's stake on the responsibility taken on regarding ENH amounted to €9 m.
The carrying amount and fair value of the financial assets and liabilities presented in Statement of Financial Position are the same for most of the cases. However, due to difficulties in the settlement of the fair value, financial assets available for sale (which are equity instruments not admitted to listing on regulated markets) are recorded at acquisition cost as referred in the respective note. For the bond loans recognised in the Financial Position, their fair value is €1,555 m as of December 31, 2017 and €1,743 as of December 31, 2016, and were measured based on observable market variables, being the classification in the Fair Value hierarchy Level 2 (see fair value hierarchy in Note 22).
CO2 emitted by the Group's industrial plants and the "CO2 emission licences" attributed to it under the National CO2 Licence Allotment Plan do not give rise to any financial statement recognition provided that: (i) it is not estimated that there will probably be a need for costs to be incurred by the Group to acquire emission licences in the market, which would be recognised by the booking of an accrual or (ii) it is not estimated that such licences are sold. In the event that these excessive licences are sold, income would be recognised.
Emissions during the year 2017 amounted to 3,589,981 TON/ CO2, being the EUA's securities held by the Galp Group of 3,594,177 TON/CO2, which are sufficient to meet Galp Group's commitments.
Galp holds in its portfolio Futures on CO2 maturiting in December 2018, which represents 400,000 Ton/CO2.
Due to the acquisition in previous years of licences to cover CO2 emission liabilities, Petrogal recognised a cost of €8m as an expense in the year (Note 7).
As of 31 December 2017, the pro-forma values of greenhouse gas emissions were below assigned and acquired licences. Thus, no accruals were made to the additional costs mentioned above.
Events that occur after the financial statements date that provide additional information on conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period are recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Events that occur after the financial statements date that provide information on conditions that exist after the financial statements date, if material, are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
In accordance with the accounting policy followed from 1999 to date for E&P activity, Galp capitalises the exploration expenses, in accordance with IFRS 6 - 'Exploration and evaluation of mineral resources', which are depreciated in the event of commercial viable discoveries, over the production period.
As an interim standard, IFRS 6 provides for a voluntary change in the accounting policy defined at the date of the first adoption of IFRS, continuing also to allow that this new policy does not fully comply with the IFRS conceptual framework, as long as it complies with paragraph 13 of IFRS 6, which requires the information provided by the new policy to be more relevant and reliable.
Galp believes that the new accounting policy being adopted is more reliable, as it considers a more prudent approach and provides better comparability with other companies as it is adopted by all major IOC´s (International Oil Company) .

Thus, with effect from January 1, 2018, Galp will recognise as operating cost all expenditures incurred in the exploration phase (ie exploration and evaluation assets) related to exploration, ie expenditures related to geology and geophysics studies (G&G) and general and administrative expenses (G&A). Other exploration phase expenditures, namely Exploratory Wells, are capitalised in assets in progress, which are subject to periodic impairment tests, recognising however dry wells as cost for the year. At the start of production, capitalised costs are depreciated based on the present depreciation policy.
In addition to the costs related to the exploration phase mentioned above, the overhead expenses related to general and administrative expenses (G&A) carried forward, in accordance with the previous accounting policy, from the exploration phase to the development phase, will be adjusted in equity according to the adoption of the new accounting policy.
Being a voluntary change in accounting policy, the referred accounting policy will be retrospectively applied in accordance with IAS 8 and comparative information restated.

Galp is in the process of farming-down a 40% participating interest in the Petroleum Exploration Licence (PEL) 82 in Namibia to an ExxonMobil subsidiary.
Following the conclusion of the transaction, both Galp and ExxonMobil will hold a 40% interest in the licence, and Galp will maintain the operatorship. The National Petroleum Corporation of Namibia (NAMCOR) and Custos, a local Namibian company, each hold a 10% stake in the licence.
The licence is located in the Walvis basin and covers an area of 11,444 km2 in water depths ranging from 300 m to 2,000 m.
The transaction conclusion is subject to satisfaction of customary conditions precedent, including the approval of the relevant competent Namibian authorities.

Proposal for Galp 8.1. Financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2017
This improvement clarifies that specific loans obtained that are still in place, after the qualifying assets to which they relate are in their use or sale condition should be added to the generic loans to determine the average capitalisation interest rate on other qualifying assets.
This improvement clarifies that the tax impacts of dividends are recognised on the date the entity recognises the responsibility for the dividends payment, which are recognised in the income statement for the year, other comprehensive income or equity, depending on the underlying transaction or event.
These improvements clarify that: (i) when gaining control over a business that is a joint venture, the interests held previously by the investor are remeasured at fair value; and (ii) where an investor in a joint venture, which does not exercise joint control, obtains joint control over a joint transaction that is a business, the interest held previously is not remeasured.
Galp considers that the amendments to IAS 23 intended to clarify the existing standard and have no material effects on the measurement or presentation of the financial statements. With regard to the amendments to IAS 12, Galp stipulates that they will not have an accounting impact on the financial statements. As for the amendments to IFRS 3 and IFRS 11, Galp foresees that the amendments may have potential future impacts.
The standard applies to all entities that issue insurance contracts, reinsurance contracts and investment contracts with discretionary participation characteristics and is based on the current measurement of technical liabilities at each reporting date. Such measurement can be based on a complete model (building block approach) or a simplified model (premium allocation approach).
As already provided in IFRS 4 - 'Insurance Contracts', financial guarantee contracts may be included under IFRS 17 as long as they are classified as insurance contracts. For fixed rate service contracts, whose objective is the provision of services, the option in accounting according to IFRS 17 or IFRS 15 - ' Revenue from Contracts whith Costumers' is established.
With the approval by the European Union, this standard will replace the current IFRS 4, which is being applied to the Group's insurance activity.
Galp considers premature to determine possible impacts of this new standard, as it may still be subject to future changes.
Interpretation aims to clarify how to apply the recognition and measurement requirements of IAS 12 - 'Income Tax' when there is uncertainty over the fiscal framework of a transaction.
In these situations, the entity shall make the best estimate and record the income tax assets or liabilities in accordance with IAS 12 - 'Income Tax', based on the expected value or the most probable amount and not in accordance with IAS 37 - 'Provisions, Liabilities and Contingent Assets'.
Galp considers that the interpretation has no accounting impact on the financial statements, to the extent that Galp already accounts in accordance with such interpretation, as clarified in the accounting policy regarding tax provisions.
This amendment clarifies that an entity should apply IFRS 9 – Financial instruments to long-term investments in associates or joint ventures for which no equity model is applied, either on initial recognition, or subsequently, being applied the estimated credit losses model.
Galp considers that the amendments referred above clarify the standards in force, not presenting relevant impacts on the measurement or presentation of financial statements.
According to IFRS 9 published in November 2016, when an instrument does not pass the SPPI (Solely Payments of Principal and Interest) test, it should be measured at fair value through profit or loss. The amendment to IFRS 9 allows, subject to certain conditions, that in the case of prepayments with negative compensation, the condition of the SPPI is exceeded, and the instrument is measured at amortised cost.
Galp considers that these amendments will only have impacts when there are situations of early payments with negative compensations, however they are not recurring situations.
This amendment clarifies the measurement basis for cash-settled, share-based payments and the accounting for modifications to a share-based payment plan that change the classification from cash-settled to equity-settled.
It also introduces an exception to the basis of IFRS 2 that will require a shared based plan to be treated as if it was wholly equitysettled, where an employer is obliged to withhold in shares an amount for the employee's tax obligation associated with a sharebased payment and pay that amount to the tax authority.
This amendment has no accounting impact in Galp' financial statements, has there are no share-based payment plans.
This improvement on IFRS 1 deletes the short-term exemptions for IFRS 7, IFRS 10 and IAS 19 as they were no longer applicable, for first time adopters of IFRS.
The improvement clarifies the scope of application of the standard, specifying that disclosure requirements apply to share interests in entities covered by the standard (ie subsidiary, joint arrangement, associate and unconsolidated structured entities) held for sale or as discontinued operations, and that the only exemption relates to the disclosure of the summary of the financial information of these entities.
This improvement clarifies that the option to measure, on initial recognition, at fair value through profit and loss, the investments in associates or joint ventures held by a venture capital organisation is assessed for each investment, on a standalone basis, without requirements of consistency for each class of investments.
Galp considers that the amendments referred above clarify the standards in force, not presenting relevant impacts on the measurement or presentation of financial statements.
This interpretation intends to determine the date of transaction which defines the exchange rate used to translate the foreign currency transactions. The Interpretation is applied when an entity either pays or receives consideration in advance for foreign currency denominated contracts and defines that:
Galp considers that this Interpretation has no accounting impact in its financial statements, as Galp is already performing accounting in accordance with this Interpretation.
This amendment clarifies that when assets are transferred to, or from investment properties, the evidence of the change in use is required to conclude on the change of use of an investment property there should be an evaluation to confirme that the property meets the definition established in the standard. A change of management intention itself is not sufficient to support a transfer.
Galp estimates that the amendment will not have an accounting impact on its financial statements.

Proposal for Galp 8.1. Financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2017
IFRS 9 replaces the guidance in IAS 39 - Financial Instruments: recognition and measurement, regarding:
The estimated accounting impacts arising from the adoption of this new standard and the accounting policy currently followed by Galp are detailed in Note 30.2.
The amendments refers to: (i) additional instructions for determining the performance obligations of a contract, the timing for revenue recognition of an intellectual property licence; (ii) the review of the indicators for the classification of the principal versus agent relationship and (iii) the new arrangements established to simplify the transition.
The estimated accounting impacts arising from the adoption of this new standard and the accounting policy currently followed by Galp are detailed in Note 30.2.
This new standard applies only to contracts with customers to provide goods or services, and requires an entity to recognise
revenue when the contractual obligation to deliver the goods or services is satisfied and by the amount that reflects the consideration the entity is expected to be entitled to, following a five step approach.
The estimated accounting impacts arising from the adoption of this new standard and the accounting policy currently adopted by Galp are detailed in Note 30.2.
In response to the volatility resulting from the application of IFRS 9 to insurance contracts under IFRS 4, these amendments allow two different solutions for insurance companies: a temporary exemption from IFRS 9 - 'Financial Instruments' for entities meeting specific requirements (applied at reporting entity level); and the "overlay approach".
Both the temporary exemption and the overlay approach will no longer apply when the new IFRS 17 - 'Insurance Contracts' policy comes into force, with insurance companies having the option to cease this exemption before that date.
Galp believes that these amendments will have no impact on the financial statements.
This standard specifies how leases should be recognised, measured, presented and disclosed. The standard provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases unless the lease term is 12 months or less or the underlying asset has an imaterial value. Lessors continue to classify leases as operating or finance, with IFRS 16's approach to lessor accounting substantially unchanged from its predecessor, IAS 17.
In order to evaluate the impacts arising from the changes provided for in this standard, a project is currently underway based on the exhaustive analysis of all the contracts that underlie the "use" of an asset. Galp is still determining and quantifying the impacts of this new standard on its activities.
Requires an entity to disclose a reconciliation between the changes in financial liabilities with the cash flows (financing activities), namely:
The impact of this amendment on disclosures is presented in the notes to the financial statements.
The amendments in IAS 12 refers to the recognition of deferred tax assets for unrealised losses, and clarifies the following aspects:
i) Unrealised losses on debt instruments measured at fair value or measured at cost for tax purposes give rise to a deductible temporary difference regardless of whether the debt instrument's holder expects to recover the carrying amount of the debt instrument by sale or by use.
ii) The carrying amount of an asset does not limit the estimation of its future realisable value, which can be higher.
iii) Estimates for future taxable profits exclude tax deductions resulting from the reversal of deductible temporary differences.
iv) An entity assesses a deferred tax asset in combination with other deferred tax assets. Where tax law restricts the utilisation of tax losses, an entity would assess a deferred tax asset in combination with other deferred tax assets of the same type.
This clarification had no impact on the deferred tax calculations and recognition performed.
As a result of the IASB approval of IFRS 9 - 'Financial Instruments' and IFRS 15 - ' Revenue from Contracts with Customer ', Galp, from January 1, 2018, will recognise in accounting the requirements of the new regulations .
IFRS 9 replaces IAS 39 - 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement' and introduces divisible changes into three major blocks:
With respect to the transition from IAS 39 to IFRS 9 and in accordance with the possibility expressed in paragraph 7.2.15 of IFRS 9, Galp will apply the effects of this standard retrospectively with the cumulative effect on the initial recognition an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for the annual reporting period beginning on January 1, 2018.
IFRS 15 defines a unique and robust model to be used by entities in revenue recognition, improving comparability among companies, jurisdictions, industries and capital markets, by simplifying and improving information for readers of the financial statements.
Proposal for Galp allocation of results
8.1. Financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2017
In conceptual terms, IFRS 15 is distinguished, essentially, from the previous revenue standard, IAS 18, in the following aspects:
With its approval by the IASB and the European Union, this standard replaces the following standards / interpretations: IAS 11 - 'Construction Contracts', IAS 18 - 'Revenue', SIC 31 - 'Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services' , IFRIC 13 - 'Customer Loyalty Programmes', IFRIC 15 - 'Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate' and IFRIC 18 - 'Transfers of Assets from Costumers'.
With respect to the transition from IAS 18 to IFRS 15 and in accordance with the possibility expressed in paragraph C3 of IFRS 15, Galp will apply the effects of this standard retrospectively with the cumulative effect of the initial recognition presented as an adjustment to the opening balance sheet of retained earnings for the annual reporting period beginning on January 1, 2018.
The accounting impacts expected in the opening balance retained earnings on January 1, 2018 are detailed as follows:

allocation of results
The adjustments presented above refer essentially to:
Recalculation of impairment on trade receivables according to the "estimated credit losses" model, in accordance with the application of IFRS 9; and
Readjustment of the amount recognised in revenue related to contracts of combined sales of goods with associated services, in accordance with the application of IFRS 15.
Without effects on the statement of financial position, but only at the level of presentation in the income statement, as from January 1, 2018 the underlifting and overlifting positions arising from the E&P activity will be recognised in results as other operating income and other operating costs instead of being recognised in the operating gross margin, in accordance with the application of IFRS 15.
The consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 13 April 2018.
However, they are still subject to approval by the General Meeting of Shareholders, in accordance with the commercial law in place in Portugal. The Board of Directors believes that these financial statements reflect in a true and fair manner the Group's operations, financial performance and cash flows.

Investments were classified in accordance to the following assumptions:
Amounts in the following captions include assets related to transport and production equipment for block BM-S-11 in Brazil and Area 4 in Mozambique, accounted for in companies which were consolidated through the equity method. Under fixed assets with PR, it is accounted €586,724 k in 2017, €419,056 k in 2016 and €255,736 k in 2015. Under assets in progress, it is accounted €554,331 k in 2017, €647,651 k in 2016 and €542,601 k in 2015. Under cumulative amortisations, depreciations and impairments it is recorded €52,587 k in 2017, €60,554 k in 2016 and €17,063 k in 2015.
In the table above, cumulative investments are stated in the Group's functional currency. Regarding companies whose functional currency is not the Euro, assets were updated taking into account the corresponding exchange rate at the end of the year, in accordance with the accounting policy defined in paragraph 2.12 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements. In 2017, an exchange rate of 3.9729 EUR:BRL was considered for assets in Brazil and an exchange rate of 1.1993 EUR:USD was considered for assets in Africa.
Total proved reserves (1P) on 31 December 2017, 2016 and 2015 which are presented in the tables below, include developed and undeveloped proved reserves. These reserves were determined by the independent entity DeMac, whose methodology is in accordance with the PMRS, approved in March 2007 by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), the World Petroleum Council (WPC), the American Association of Petroleum Geologists and the Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers.
Proven reserves are the quantities of oil and gas that, by analysis of geosciences and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be commercially recoverable in accordance with defined economic considerations, operational methods, and government regulations.
Proven reserves include estimated quantities related to production sharing contracts (PSC) that are reported under the net entitlement method (which is subject to fluctuations in commodity prices and recoverable costs), as well as estimated quantities related to concessions (royalty regime) in which the net entitlement corresponds to the working interest. As of December 31, 2017 approximately 21% of the total proved reserves are related to PSC located in Africa.
As required by Topic 932, the economic limit of reserves is based on the average prices of the last 12 months and current costs. The economic cut-off date affects the reserve estimate. Therefore, as prices and cost levels change from year to year, the estimate of proved reserves may also change.
The reference price used to determine the Company's net entitlement reserves, which are those to be developed as per the agreements signed for the exploration and production activity, was \$54.27/bbl, \$43.69/bbl and \$52.46/bbl and corresponds to the average market price of Brent for 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Reserves associated with blocks in Brazil correspond to 100% of the stake held by Petrogal Brasil in those blocks, since this company is fully consolidated in the Galp Group.
The impacts of PSC (price effect and/or change in recoverable costs) in reserves associated with this type of agreements are reflected in the caption "Revisions of previous estimates".

The standard measure of discounted future cash flows has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Topic 932 of FASB and corresponds to an economic translation of the proved reserves presented in the previous section.
Future cash inflows represent future revenues associated with the production of proved reserves, calculated by applying the average market price of Brent during 2017: \$54.27/bbl.
Future production costs correspond to the estimated production costs associated with proved reserves.
Future royalties are estimated considering production revenue.
Future development and abandonment costs correspond to the estimated costs for the development of proved reserves (drilling and installation of production platforms), as well as the estimated costs of field abandonment.
Future income taxes include estimates of oil tax payable in Africa calculated according to the existing PSC; SPT (applicable to blocks in Brazil) and income taxes, according to tax laws in each country.
The cash flows were calculated in U.S. Dollars and translated into Euros at the average exchange rate of 2017 (1.1297 EUR:USD).

The principles applied are those required by Topic 932 and do not reflect the expectations of the actual revenues of the reserves nor their present value, and thus do not constitute criteria for investment decision. An estimate of the fair value of reserves should also take into account, among other variables, the recovery of reserves not currently classified as proved, the risks inherent in the estimation of reserves, the expectation of future hydrocarbons price variation and the cost structure, as well as the consideration of an adequate discount factor.
Galp believes that values such as accountability and good governance are reinforced by supporting the concept of transparency in revenue flows from oil and gas activities. It enables citizens to access the information required to hold Public Administrations (defined in 5. Public Administrations) accountable for the way they use funds received through taxes and other agreements.
As a member of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), since 2010, Galp has been working with Public Administrations, non-governmental organizations and international agencies to increase transparency, disclosure and accountability of payments (defined in 7. Payments) made to Public Administrations.
In addition to the Payments stated in this Report, Galp contributes to the economies of the countries in which it operates as a result of other Extractive Activities (concept defined below) by making payments to Public Administrations - for example in relation to the transporting, trading, manufacturing and marketing of products derived from oil and gas. In addition, Galp contributes to the economies of the countries in which it operates, by creating employment opportunities, purchasing products and services from local suppliers and undertaking social investment activities.
This Report provides an overview of the Payments to Public Administrations by Galp Energia SGPS, S.A., and its subsidaries (hereinafter together referred to as "Galp"), covering the full year of 2017 whenever such companies make such payments as a result exploration, prospecting, discovery, development and extraction of oil, natural gas deposits or other materials (referred to as "Extractive activities").
This report is prepared in compliance with the provisions of article 245-B of the Portuguese Securities Code and its contents comply with the provisions of chapter 10 of the Directive 2013/34/ EU transposed to Portuguese law under the Decree-Law n. 98/2015 (herein together referred to as the applicable "Legislation").
This Report includes payments to Public Administrations made by Galp. Payments made by entities over which Galp has joint control and Payments made by entities over which Galp has no control, are excluded from this report.
For the purpose of this report, Public administrations include any national, regional or local authority of a European Union member State or of a third country, and includes any unit, agency or entity that is a subsidiary thereof, which includes a national oil company.
Payments are reported at project level except any not attributable to a specific project which are reported at the entity level.
A project is defined as all operational activities governed by a single contract, license, lease, concession or similar legal agreement, and forms the basis for payment liabilities to a Public Administration. If such agreements are substantially interconnected, those agreements are treat as a single project.
For a fully integrated Project (concept defined below), which does not have an interim contractual cut off point where a value can be ascribed separately to the Extractive activities and to other processing activities, payments to Public Administrations will be disclosed in full.
For the purpose of this Report, a Payment is an amount paid in cash or in kind under the following forms:
These include the host government's share of production in the reporting period, from projects operated by Galp. This includes the government's share as a sovereign entity or through its participation as an equity or interest holder in projects within its sovereign jurisdiction (home country). Production Entitlements arising from activities or interests outside the home country are excluded.
For the year ended 31 December, 2017, there were no Production Entitlement for projects Operated by Galp.
Proposal for Galp allocation of results
These are taxes paid by Galp on its income, profits or production (which include petroleum income tax in Angola or Corporate income Tax and Special Participation in Brazil), including those settled by a Public Administration on behalf of Galp under a tax-paid concession. Payments are reported net of refunds. Taxes on transactions and on consumption (including but not limited to Value Added Taxes), personal income taxes, sales taxes, and property taxes are excluded from this Report..
These are payments for the rights to extract oil and gas resources, typically set at a percentage of revenue less any deductions.
These are usually paid upon signing an agreement or a contract, when a commercial discovery of oil and gas is declared, or when production has commenced or a milestone as been reached.
These are taxes and other fees paid as consideration for acquiring a license for gaining access to an area where Extractive Activities are performed. Any Administrative government fees that are not specifically related to Extractive Activities, or in order to access extractive resources, are excluded from this Report.
These are payments which relate to the construction of infrastructure not substantially dedicated to the use of Extractive Activities.
When Galp makes a Payment directly to a Public Administration arising from a Project, the full amount paid is disclosed, even where Galp, as operator, is proportionally reimbursed by its non-operating venture partners through a an invoicing process (cash-call).
Payments are reported on a cash basis meaning that they are reported in the period in which they are paid, as opposed to being reported on an accruals basis (which would mean that they would be reported in the period for which the liabilities arise).
This Report includes all types of payment to Public Administrations, either on a single payment basis or as part of a series of related payments, provided they are above €100,000.
For the purposes of this Report, payments in currencies other than Euro are converted based on the foreign exchange rate at the annual average rate.

8.4. Report and opinions of the Audit Board and the Statutory Auditor
Disclosures related to non-current assets for the Upstream business are presented in notes 2 and 12 of the Consolidated financial statements.
The upstream asset portfolio is mainly concentrated in oil blocks in Angola, Brazil, Mozambique and Portugal. The referred investments, net of impairment losses, in the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2017 amount to Euro 5,336 million (2016: Euro 5,162 million).
The analysis of the recoverable amount of the upstream assets is performed based on a discounted cash flows model, which is highly subjective due to, amongst other factors, the evaluation of oil reserves (estimated based on evaluations performed by external experts, who have extensive experience in this market in which the Group operates), estimated future prices for oil and gas, estimates of operational expenses and investments necessary for the exploration of the estimated reserves by the operator consortium of each block and definition of the discount rate to be applied.
The relevance of this matter in our audit is related with the unpredictability associated with the outcome of the significant estimates, and to the fact that any change on the assumptions can result on a significant change in the financial statements.
The decrease in current and future oil and gas prices, under the present market conditions, is putting additional pressure in the valuation of the upstream assets, having a significant effect on the financial statements of the Group, as evidenced by the impairments recognized in upstream assets for the past three years, as disclosed in Note 12 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements, either by the decrease in sales price itself, or by its impact on operating decisions (delays in First oil, abandonment/on hold decisions due to the low profitability).
As a result of the impairment testing performed by the management, impairment losses were recognized in the amount of Euro 74 million in upstream non-current assets (2016: Euro 192 million).

The audit approach to this key audit matter consisted
the impairment testing, having defined the following as the most significant: recoverable reserves/volumes and investments necessary for the recovery of those volumes, estimated future oil and gas prices and discount rates considered to reflect the time impact of the future cash flows.;
management to calculate the recoverable amount of the assets allocated to each cash generating unit, to determine its compliance with the accounting policies in place and its consistent application; - in terms of reserves, we assessed the consistency of
the recoverable volumes considered by the management with the independent expert report prepared as of December 31, 2017, and discussed with management the evolution of the referred reserves compared with previous reports, taking into account the production model of the blocks and the discoveries noted. In this respect, we assessed the competence and objectivity of the expert; -corroborated estimates of future cash flows and challenged the management as to whether these were appropriate in light of future price assumptions (market forward prices) and the investment/cost budgets approved by each block consortium. We performed sensitivity analyses over main inputs to the cash flow models.
We also assessed the adequacy of the disclosures associated with the impairment losses recognized in the consolidated financial statements, considering the requirements of the applicable accounting standard.
of: - assessing management's assumptions considered in
Disclosures related to non-current assets in Spain are presented in notes 2, 10, 11 and 12 of the Consolidated financial statements.
As at December 31, 2017, the amount of the non-current assets recognized in the consolidated financial statements of the Galp Group, related to the distribution network of refined products in Spain, amounts to Euro 377 million (Tangible fixed assets: Euro 255 million; Intangible assets: Euro 72 million; Deferred tax assets: Euro 50 million).
In accordance with IAS 36 – Impairment of assets, the management should perform an impairment annual assessment and evaluate if impairment indicators exist related to the carrying amount of the non-current assets. The carrying amount of the cash-generating unit is compared with the recoverable amount, which is the higher between the value in use and the fair value less costs to sell. The retail network of refined products in Spain has been considered by the management as a single cash-generating unit. As at December 31, 2017, the Group has determined the recoverable amount of its cash generating units (CGU) through the value in use.
Additionally, the management assesses the recoverability of the deferred tax assets related to the cash-generating unit, considering the estimates of future taxable income, in accordance with IAS 12 – Income taxes.
The relevance of this matter in our audit is related with the complexity and high level of judgment over the impairment model. The calculation of the recoverable amount requires the use of estimates and assumptions by the management, which depend on economic and market estimates, namely related to future cash-flows, growth rates in the perpetuity and discount rates to be used.
As a result of the impairment testing performed by the management, impairment losses were recognized in the amount of Euro 6 million for the non-current assets related to the retail network of refined products in Spain.
In addition, as a result of the good performance presented in the period and the annual revaluation performed on the temporary differences underlying the deferred tax assets, deferred tax assets in the year ended December 31, 2017 were reduced by Euro 28 million.
Statutory Audit Report and Auditors' Report Galp Energia SGPS, SA December 31, 2017 PwC 3 of 8
We have assessed the impairment testing, based on discounted future cash-flows model, considering the following audit procedures:
by the Executive Committee; - benchmarking the reasonableness of the future cash-
flow estimates, by comparison with the historical performance;
assessing the adequacy of the discount rate considered;
performing sensitivity analysis, by changing the relevant assumptions; and
assessing the estimates and judgments approved by the management, underlying the relevant assumptions supporting the model.
For assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets, we have compared the future taxable income estimates with the cash-flow estimates referred above, assessed the mathematical accuracy of the calculation and assessed the adequacy of the tax rate considered.
We also assessed the adequacy of the disclosures associated with the impairment testing and deferred taxes presented in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, considering the requirements of the applicable accounting standard.
8.4. Report and opinions of the Audit Board and the Statutory Auditor
Disclosures related to litigation and tax contingencies are presented in notes 2, 10, 21 and 26 of the Consolidated financial statements.
The dimension and structure of the Galp Group and the dispersion of its operational activity, originates an increase in the complexity of the tax recognition in the financial statement of the Group. As a consequence, the Group has several pending tax matters, namely those resulting from tax inspections in Portugal, and Petroleum Income tax in Angola, recognizing provisions whenever the Group considers that a negative outcome is probable, in accordance with the IAS 37. The assessment of the outcome probability is supported by the legal consultants and tax advisors of the Group, as well as by the management judgment in relation to these matters. As at December 31, 2o17 the tax provisions recognized in the consolidated financial statements amounted to Euro 280 million (2016: Euro 245 million).
The relevance of this matter in our audit is related with the complexity and high level of judgment over the corresponding tax matters, as well as the unpredictability associated with the respective outcome.
The audit procedures performed included: - obtaining the detailed listing of the pending tax contingencies and legal actions, categorized by outcome probability;
confirmation letters sent to external lawyers; - inquiry of the Management and of the tax and legal Directors of the Group over the estimates and judgments considered.
We also assessed the adequacy of the disclosures presented in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, considering the requirements of the applicable accounting standard.
Management is responsible for:
a) the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, which present fairly the financial position, the financial performance and the cash flows of the Group in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the European Union;
b) the preparation of the Directors' Report, including the Corporate governance Report, in accordance with the applicable law and regulations;
c) the creation and maintenance of an appropriate system of internal control to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error;
d) the adoption of appropriate accounting policies and criteria; and
e) the assessment of the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue its activities.
Statutory Audit Report and Auditors' Report Galp Energia SGPS, SA December 31, 2017 PwC 4 of 8
The supervisory board is responsible for overseeing the process of preparation and disclosure of the Group's financial information.
Our responsibility is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
a) identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control;
b) obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control;
c) evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management;
d) conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern;
e) evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation;
f) obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements.

Ratio between the number of working hours lost by absence and the maximum potential of working hours (number of employees x 21 days x 11 months x 8 hours).
Density expressed in API degrees, defined by the American Petroleum Institute by means of the following formula: API°= (141.5/g) – 131.5, where g is the density of the oil to 60°F (15.6 °C). This is the formula that is internationally used to establish the density of crude oil. The greater the API density, the lighter the crude oil.
Distillation of crude oil effected under atmospheric pressure, from which oil product fractions are produced (light oil, heavy oil, diesel fuels, and heavy products, for example). After suitable treatment, these fractions are the components of the finished products.

Carbon dioxide, colourless gas that is heavier than air, this being one of its natural components. Produced by certain natural processes, such as the carbon cycle, and by the complete burning contained in fossil fuels.
Power generation technology that allows the combined production of heat and electricity. The advantage of cogeneration is the capacity it has to take double advantage of the heat produced by burning the fuel for the generation of thermal energy for the generation of electricity. This process allows the same installation to comply with the heat (hot water or steam) and electricity needs of both industrial clients and urban settlements. This system improves the energy efficiency of the generation process and reduces use of the fuel.
The complexity of a refinery lies in its capacity to process crude oil and other raw materials and is measured by means of the complexity index, calculated separately by different organisations within the sector, such as energy sector consultants
allocation of results
Solomon Associates and Nelson. A refinery's complexity index is calculated by attributing a complexity factor to each one of the refinery's units, which is based above all on the level of technology used in the construction of the unit, taking as a reference a crude oil primary distillation installation to which is attributed a complexity factor of 1.0. The complexity index of each unit is calculated by the multiplication of the complexity factor with the unit's capacity. The complexity of a refinery is equivalent to the weighted average of the complexity index of each one of its units, including the distillation units. A refinery with a complexity index of 10.0 is considered to be 10 times more complex than a refinery equipped with just crude oil atmospheric distillation, for the same quality of processed product.
Hydrocarbons that, when stored in the respective deposits, are found to be in a gaseous state, but which on the surface become liquids under normal pressure and temperature conditions. This essentially concerns pentane and other heavier products.
These are quantities of oil that are estimated on a given date to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations but are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable. This may happen for a variety of reasons. For example, maturity issues (the discovery needs further appraisal in order to firm up the elements of the development plan); technological issues (new technology needs to be developed and tested for commercial production); or market-driven issues (sales contracts are not yet in place or the infrastructure needs to be developed in order to get the product to market). 2C contingent resources are those that are calculated based on the best estimate, while 3C resources correspond to the highest estimate, thus reflecting a larger level of uncertainty. Volumes that fall into this category cannot be referred to as reserves.
Set of various treatments (catalytic or thermal) where the principal reaction is effected on the carbon connections, with this having the possibility of being more or less deep due to the conditions imposed. This process is typically associated with the conversion of fuel oils in lesser fractions (diesel fuels, gasoline and gases) and fuel oils that are more sophisticated from the perspective of their use. In a modern refinery, these processes have assumed a growing importance.
Transformation through a breaking down of the hydrocarbon molecules in long chains, with the objective of obtaining hydrocarbon molecules in shorter chains, thus increasing the proportion of lighter and more volatile products. Distinguishing between thermal cracking and catalytic cracking. Thermal cracking is only caused by the actions of heat and pressure. Catalytic cracking uses catalysers that, at the same temperature, allow a deeper and more selective transformation of fractions that could be heavier.
Price of shipments of Brent oil as announced by the price fixing agencies. This is the reference price for the vast majority of crude oils sold in Europe, Africa and the Middle East, and is one of the most important references for the prices on the spot market. Dated Brent oil is the light crude oil from the North Sea that, since July 2006, has included the Fortis and Oseberg branches. The crude mix has an average API density of approximately 38.9°.
A mix of liquid hydrocarbons destined for feeding compression ignition engines (Diesel cycle). The behaviour of diesel fuel depends on the temperatures at which it is used.
A method for separating (liquid or solid) substances by evaporation followed by condensation. Distillation may take place under atmospheric pressure or in a vacuum, depending on what products are desired. This process produces distillates.
Release of gases into the atmosphere. Within the context of global climactic alterations, the gases released include gases capable of altering the climate – the so-called GGEs. A typical example is the release of CO₂ during the burning of fuels.
These can be directly controlled by the Company and concern the emissions due to the consumption of fuel in its own installations: ovens, heat or steam generators, or the Organisation's cars.
These are a result of the Company's activities but which use another organisation's resources: use of grid, heat or steam electricity, produced at installations that are not the Company's.
Emissions due to the consumption of fuel in installations that are not the Company's: leased cars, planes, waste incineration, logistics activities or services.
A floating, production, storage and offloading (FPSO) unit is a floating oil production system, built on a ship structure, with a capacity for oil and natural gas production processing, liquid storage and transfer of oil to tankers. Regarding the FPSO units in the Brazilian pre-salt, the natural gas produced is exported through a pipeline to the brazilian onhsore, in order to supply that market.
A floating, liquefied natural gas unit is a floating natural gas liquefaction system, built on a ship structure, with a capacity for production, liquefaction and storage of liquefied natural gas. The stored product is exported through the transfer to LNG vessels
A mix of hydrocarbons destined for the production of heat in thermal installations. There are various types of fuel oil, due to its viscosity, which conditions their use.
Fuel for automobiles equipped with motors that use the Otto cycle. This should comply with precise specifications concerning its physical and chemical qualities, of which the most important is resistance to self-inflammation.
Process of cracking with the use of hydrogen and under the action of catalysts that allows the conversion of less valuable, highboiling-point oil fractions into lighter, more valuable fractions. The hydrogen allows working at lower temperatures and greater selectivity and, therefore, produces better results.
The products from the reaction are saturated compounds, which provide them with important stability qualities.
The Intercontinental Exchange, Inc., or ICE, is a North-American company that operates virtual markets, in which futures contracts are transacted as well as OTC contracts on energy and commodities, and other financial derivatives products.
Fuel for jet motors used in aviation.
Natural gas that is changed into its liquid state to enable transportation. Liquefaction is performed by a reduction in the temperature of the gas, to atmospheric pressure, to amounts of less than -160°C. The volume of the LNG is approximately 1/600 of the volume of natural gas.
Gaseous hydrocarbons, under normal conditions of temperature and pressure, and liquids, by raising the pressure or reduction of temperature, which can legally be transported and stored. The most common are propane and butane.
Products obtained by mixing one or more base oils and additives. This process obeys specific formulas due to the use of the lubricant. The percentage of additives in the lubricating oils reaches 40%. The lubricating oils have three main uses: automobiles, industry and marine.
Oil product fraction that is located between gases and oil. This is also a raw material in the petrochemical industry, from which cracking provides a large variety of products. This can also form part of the composition of engine gasoline (light naphtha) or, in the case of heavy naphtha, serve as a raw material for the production of reformate.
Mix of light hydrocarbons found in the subsoil, in which methane is present at a percentage of more than 70% volume. The composition of natural gas may vary depending upon the field in which it is produced and the processes of production, conditioning, processing and transport.

Quantities of oil that have, on a certain date, been estimated as potentially recoverable from undiscovered accumulations through future development projects. The estimation of a prospect's resources is subject to both commercial and technological uncertainties. Risked mean estimate prospective resources have a higher implied recovery probability than unrisked mean estimate resources. The quantities classified as prospective resources cannot be classified as contingent resources or reserves.
Under the definitions approved by the SPE and the WPC, proven reserves are those quantities of oil which, by analysis of geological and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be commercially recoverable, from a given date forward, from known reservoirs and under current economic conditions, operating methods and government regulations. If deterministic methods are used, the expression "reasonable certainty" is intended to express a high degree of confidence that the quantities will be recovered. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 90% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimate.
The definition of current economic conditions should include relevant historical oil prices and associated costs. In general, reserves are considered proven if the commercial productivity of the reservoir is supported by actual production or formation tests. In this context, the term "proven" refers to the actual quantities of oil reserves and not just the productivity of the well or reservoir. The area of the reservoir considered as proven includes (1) the area delineated by drilling and defined by fluid contacts, if any, and (2) the undrilled portions of the reservoir that can reasonably be judged as commercially productive on the basis of available geological and engineering data. Reserves may be classified as proven if facilities to process and transport those reserves to market are operational at the time of the estimate or there is a reasonable expectation that such facilities will be installed.
2P reserves correspond to the sum of proven (1P) and probable reserves. Under the definitions approved by the SPE and the WPC, probable reserves are a category of unproven reserves. Unproven
reserves are based on geological or engineering data similar to those used in estimates of proven reserves but in relation to which technical, contractual, economic or regulatory uncertainties preclude such reserves from being classified as proven. Probable reserves are those quantities of oil that, by analysis of geological and engineering data, have a lower probability of being recovered than the proven reserves, but higher than the possible reserves. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 50% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the 2P estimate.
3P reserves correspond to the sum of proven, probable and possible reserves. Under the definition approved by the SPE and the WPC, possible reserves are a category of unproven reserves. Unproven reserves are based on geological or engineering data similar to those used in estimates of proven reserves but in relation to which technical, contractual, economic or regulatory uncertainties preclude such reserves from being classified as proven. Possible reserves have a lower probability of being recovered than probable reserves. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 10% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the 3P estimate.
Ratio of the total quantity of crude processed oil in the crude oil distillation units in relation to these units' maximum processing capacities.
The installation where the industrial processes designed to transfer the crude oil into products adapted to the needs of the consumers (fuels, lubricants, bitumen, etc.) or into raw materials for other so-called "second generation" industries (for example, the petrochemical industry).
Energy that is available from permanent and natural energy conversion processes and is economically exploitable under present conditions or in the foreseeable future.
According to this method, the cost of goods sold is valued at the cost of replacement, i.e. at the average cost of raw materials on the month when sales materialise irrespective of inventories at the start or end of the period. The Replacement Cost Method is not accepted by the Portuguese IFRS and is consequently not
adopted for valuing inventories. This method does not reflect the cost of replacing other assets.
In addition to using the replacement cost method, RCA items exclude non-recurrent events such as capital gains or losses on the disposal of assets, impairment or reinstatement of fixed assets and environmental or restructuring charges which may affect the analysis of the Company's profit and do not reflect its regular operational performance.
Seismic acquisition involves the generation (source) and recording (receiver) of seismic data. A source, such as a vibrator unit, dynamite shot, or an air gun, generates acoustic or elastic waves that travel into the Earth, pass through strata with different seismic responses and filtering effects, and return to the surface to be recorded as seismic data. The receiver may include different configurations, including laying geophones or seismometers on the surface of the Earth or seafloor, pulling hydrophones behind a marine seismic vessel, suspending hydrophones vertically in the sea or placing geophones in a wellbore (as in a vertical seismic profile) to record the seismic signal.
Cost-benefit analysis of the social value generated by the intervention of an organisation. This social impact assessment tool compares the social value generated by the intervention with the necessary expense for this benefit through a ratio between the net present value of the benefits and the net present value of the investment.
The name, relating to products such as oil, used to describe the international commerce of products shipped in single cargos, such as crude oil, the prices of which closely follow the respective demand and availability.
Installation used by principal and collector pipeline companies, producers of crude oil, and terminal operators (except refineries) for storage of crude oil and oil products.
