During the fourth quarter of 2016, the average price of dated Brent increased \$5.6/bbl YoY to \$49.3/bbl, reflecting market expectations following the agreement to reduce production reached by OPEC and other oil-producing countries.
During 2016, dated Brent averaged \$43.7/bbl, down \$8.7/bbl YoY.
In the fourth quarter of 2016, the average price spread between dated Brent and Urals narrowed YoY from \$2.3/bbl to \$1.6/bbl, due to higher demand for Urals in Asia, as well as a high fuel oil crack, which supported the demand for heavy crude with high sulphur content.
During 2016, the price spread widened \$0.6/bbl YoY, to \$2.1/bbl.
During the fourth quarter, the natural gas price in Europe (NBP) increased YoY from \$5.5/mmbtu to \$5.9/mmbtu, due to higher gas consumption, on the back of a more severe winter and lower exports of electricity from non-fossil fuel, mainly from France.
In 2016, NBP averaged \$4.7/mmbtu, down \$1.5/mmbtu YoY.
During the fourth quarter, the Asian LNG reference price (JKM) increased YoY from \$7.1/mmbtu to \$7.5/mmbtu, following higher demand, namely from China, which hit an all-time high of LNG imports in December.
During 2016, JKM averaged \$5.7/mmbtu, a decrease of \$1.7/mmbtu YoY.
During the fourth quarter of 2016, the benchmark refining margin remained stable YoY at \$3.9/bbl, with the appreciation of fuel oil offsetting the depreciation of light distillates.
The gasoline crack was \$9.9/bbl during the period, compared to \$10.9/bbl the previous year, on the back of larger inventories of light distillates, namely in the U.S. East Coast, a regular outlet for European production.
In the fourth quarter, the diesel crack stood at \$13.0/bbl, up \$0.2/bbl YoY, supported by higher European demand.
During 2016, the benchmark refining margin was \$3.1/bbl, down \$2.1/bbl YoY, as the gasoline and diesel crack spreads dropped \$4.4/bbl and \$5.2/bbl YoY, respectively, pressured by larger inventories throughout the year.
During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Iberian market for oil products grew 3.0% and reached 15.5 million tonnes (mton), impacted by higher demand for jet, resulting from a rise in tourism, and LPG, which benefited from an incentive programme in Spain.
In 2016, the Iberian market for oil products rose to 61.7 mton from 60.1 mton during the previous year.
During the fourth quarter, the Iberian natural gas market increased 13.9% YoY to 9,530 mm³. This increase resulted from a greater demand for natural gas for electricity generation, part of which was exported to France, due to nuclear power plants' maintenance.
In 2016, the Iberian natural gas market increased 2.7% YoY to 32,338 mm³, due to higher demand for gas for electrical generation in Portugal, as well as higher conventional consumption in the Spanish market.
Results fourth quarter 2016 February 21, 2017
Galp and its partners continued with the development works on the Lula/Iracema field. It is worth highlighting the operational efficiency achieved by the consortium in ramping-up production, with a total of 11 wells connected during the fourth quarter of 2016.
FPSOs Cidade de Angra dos Reis (FPSO #1) and Cidade de Paraty (FPSO #2), allocated to the Lula Pilot and Lula Northeast (NE) areas, respectively, continued to produce at plateau levels. A seventh producer well was connected to FPSO #1, which is currently conducting the extended well test (EWT) of the Lula West area, aiming to increase reservoir knowledge in the area.
FPSO Cidade de Mangaratiba (FPSO #3), in the Iracema South area, produced at plateau levels, benefiting from a higher operational flexibility, after the connection in October to the gas export network through the Cabiúnas pipeline.
FPSO Cidade de Itaguaí (#4), in the Iracema North area, contributed at plateau production during the quarter. This unit had been connected to the gas export network in August.
FPSO Cidade de Maricá (#5), in the Lula Alto area, reached plateau production in December, only 10 months after starting production, following the connection of the fifth producer and third injector wells and the connection to the gas export network.
FPSO Cidade de Saquarema (#6), allocated to the Lula Central area, continues to ramp-up, with the connection of three additional producer and two injector wells during the fourth quarter. In early 2017, the fifth producer well was connected. The connection to the gas export network is planned for the first half of 2017.
It is also worth highlighting the arrival of the first replicant FPSO to the Lula South area on February 6, with the start of production planned for the first half of the year. This unit has a daily production capacity of 150 thousand barrels of oil (kbpd) and 6 mm3 of natural gas, with the development plan including the connection of 10 producer wells and eight injector wells. Out of the 18 planned wells, 13 were already drilled.
Regarding the remaining replicant FPSOs, the unit allocated to the Lula North area is currently at the COOEC shipyard (China), where the topsides integration works are being executed. In what concerns the third replicant unit scheduled to start production, in the Lula Extreme South development area, the hull construction works in the COSCO shipyard (China) were completed in January 2017, and it sailed away to Brazil, where the topsides modules will be installed at Brasfels shipyard.

Note: As at February 20, 2017.
In December 2016, Galp's Board of Directors approved the investment in the Coral South area, the first development project related to the discoveries made in Area 4 of the Rovuma basin. The Final Investment Decision is still subject to the approval of the project by the remaining partners in the consortium, closing of the financing of the project and approval by the Mozambican Government of the financing conditions related to the Empresa Nacional de Hidrocarbonetos carry.
It is also worth noting that, during the fourth quarter of 2016, the consortium signed an agreement with BP for the entire offtake of LNG produced in the Coral South area for a 20-year period.
The Coral South project involves the construction of a floating LNG (FLNG) unit with a capacity of more than 3.3 mtpa that will be connected to six wells.
Regarding the Mamba onshore project, the consortium continued to analyse the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) proposals for the upstream and midstream solutions.
In block 32, the two FPSO units that will be allocated to the Kaombo area are currently being converted in the Sembawang shipyards in Singapore. Also, the drilling campaign continues with two rigs drilling simultaneously.

1Includes natural gas exported; excludes natural gas used or reinjected.
2Starting in the fourth quarter of 2016 (and for the twelve months period), the contribution of the trading activity related to the oil produced has been reallocated from the R&M business to the E&P business. The full year impact was accounted for in 4Q16, but the average realised sale price in 4Q16 is normalised.
3Based on production in Brazil.
4 Includes abandonment provisions.
During the fourth quarter of 2016, the average working interest production of oil and natural gas increased 63% YoY to 84.9 kboepd, of which 89% was oil production.
Production from Brazil increased 34.2 kboepd YoY to 75.8 kboepd. This increase was mainly due to the contribution of FPSOs #4, #5 and #6. Exports of natural gas also increased 6.2 kboepd YoY to 9.4 kboepd.
In Angola, working interest production was 9.1 kbpd in the quarter, down 12% YoY, impacted by the natural decline of the mature fields in block 14.
Net entitlement production increased 68% YoY to 82.7 kboepd in the quarter, a progress in line with the working interest production.
During 2016, working interest production increased 48% YoY to 67.6 kboepd, on the back of the higher contribution of the Brazilian pre-salt, with the start of production of units #5 and #6, as well as the ramp-up of FPSO #4.
Exports of natural gas increased 2.0 kboepd to 5.3 kboepd, following the connection of FPSOs #3, #4 and #5 to the gas export infrastructure. Out of the total gas exports, 4.8 kboepd were from the Lula/Iracema area.
Results fourth quarter 2016 February 21, 2017
Net entitlement production increased 51% YoY to 65.1 kboepd.
Ebitda RCA amounted to €232 m, up €181 m YoY, mainly on the back of increased production, but also higher oil and natural gas prices during the period.
It is worth highlighting that, as of October 1, 2016, the contribution of the trading activity related to oil produced, which used to be accounted for under the R&M business, is now accounted for in the E&P business. The impact of €22 m from the previous three quarters was also accounted for in the fourth quarter of 2016.
Production costs decreased around €3 m YoY to €41 m in the quarter. In unit terms and on a net entitlement basis, production costs decreased by \$4.7/boe YoY to \$5.8/boe, as a result of production dilution and a one-off adjustment in Brazil, corresponding to \$2.0/boe.
During the fourth quarter of 2016, depreciation charges (including abandonment provisions) amounted to €41 m, in line YoY. On a net entitlement basis, depreciation charges (including abandonment provisions) decreased YoY to \$5.8/boe from \$9.8/boe.
Ebit RCA was €191 m, compared to €10 m in the fourth quarter of 2015. Non-recurring items reached €88 m, mostly related to impairments in exploration assets from block 14, in Angola.
Results from associated companies related to the E&P activities amounted to €4 m.
In 2016, Ebitda RCA increased €141 m YoY to €494 m, benefiting from higher net entitlement production and despite the lower average sale price of \$37.7/boe.
Production costs increased €26 m YoY to €166 m, due to the higher number of operating units in Brazil. In unit terms, production costs decreased \$2.1/boe YoY to \$7.7/boe, also impacted by a one-off adjustment in Brazil.
Depreciation charges (including abandonment provisions) increased €44 m YoY to €255 m, following the increased asset base in Brazil. On a net entitlement basis, unit depreciation charges were \$11.9/boe, compared to \$14.8/boe in 2015.
Ebit RCA was €239 m during the year, up €97 m YoY, while Ebit IFRS stood at €28 m. Non-recurring items of €211 m included impairments in block 14/14k in Angola accounted for during the year, as well as the Brazilian onshore impairment, which had been accounted for in the third quarter of 2016.
The contribution of associated companies related to the E&P activities reached €17 m in the period.

2Impact on Ebitda.
3 Starting in the fourth quarter of 2016 (and for the twelve months period), the contribution of the trading activity related to the oil produced has been reallocated from the R&M business to the E&P business. The full year impact was accounted for in 4Q16.
4 During the fourth quarter of 2016, the useful life of certain refining assets was reviewed, leading to an increase in DD&A for the second half of 2016. The fourth quarter of 2016 includes the third quarter impact.
During the fourth quarter of 2016, 28.8 mmboe in raw materials were processed, in line with the same period of 2015, which had been impacted by instability in some units. It is worth highlighting the planned outage for 13 days of the FCC unit in the Sines refinery during the fourth quarter of 2016. Crude oil accounted for 94% of raw materials processed, of which 82% were to medium and heavy crudes.
Gasoline accounted for 20% of production, down 2 p.p. YoY, namely due to the lower availability of the FCC, while middle distillates (diesel and jet) accounted for 48% of total production. Consumption and losses accounted for 7% of raw materials processed.
Volumes sold to direct clients stood at 2.2 mton in the quarter, down 2% YoY, following the Group's strategy of reducing exposure to low margin wholesale activities in Iberia. Volumes sold in Africa accounted for about 9% of total volumes sold to direct clients.
Raw materials processed of 109.7 mmboe implied a decrease of 4% YoY resulting from the planned outages at the Sines and Matosinhos refineries during 2016. Crude oil accounted for 92% of raw materials processed, of which 83% were medium and heavy crude.
Gasoline accounted for 23% of production in the period, while middle distillates accounted for 46%. Consumption and losses accounted for 7% of raw materials processed.
Results fourth quarter 2016 February 21, 2017
Volumes sold to direct clients reached 8.8 mton in the year, down 3% YoY, given the reduced exposure to low margin clients. Volumes sold in Africa rose 7% YoY, accounting for 9% of total volumes sold to direct clients during 2016.
Starting on October 1, 2016, the contribution of the trading activity related to oil produced, which used to be accounted under the R&M business, is accounted for in the E&P business. The full year impact was accounted for in the fourth quarter of 2016, totalling €25 m.
Ebitda RCA for the R&M business decreased YoY to €105 m, reflecting a lower contribution from marketing of oil products. This activity was impacted by a time lag from pricing formulas, which was due to the significant increase in commodity prices during the fourth quarter. Results were also negatively impacted by operational exchange rate differences from the rapid appreciation of the Dollar against the Euro during the period, which are allocated to operating results since the beginning of 2016.
The refining activity increased its contribution to results, as Galp's refining margin reached \$5.2/boe, compared to \$4.1/boe in the previous year. The spread to the benchmark margin was \$1.4/boe, as the Company benefited from gasoline arbitrage opportunities with the USA.
Refining cash costs stood at €46 m, in line with the fourth quarter of 2015. In unit terms, cash costs were \$1.7/boe.
During the period, refining margin hedging operations had a negative impact in Ebitda of €5 m.
Depreciation and provisions increased €42 m YoY to €104 m, following a revision in the useful life of certain refining assets. The fourth quarter of 2016 includes the third quarter impact.
RCA Ebit stood at €1 m. IFRS Ebit increased to €72 m. The inventory effect amounted to €78 m and non-recurring items were €8 m.
Ebitda RCA for the R&M business during the year decreased €203 m YoY to €576 m, due to the lower contribution from the refining activity, the time lag in pricing formulas and the reallocation of the contribution of the oil trading activity.
Galp's refining margin was \$4.3/boe, compared to \$6.0/boe during the previous year, reflecting the lower refining margins. The spread over the benchmark margin was \$1.2/boe.
Refining cash costs increased €2 m YoY to €172 m, on the back of higher costs with maintenance in 2016, mainly related to the hydrocracker in Sines. In unit terms, cash costs were \$1.7/boe.
Hedging operations had a positive impact in Ebitda of €3 m during 2016, compared to a loss of €83 m the previous year.
Depreciation charges and provisions totalled €319 m, up €45 m YoY following the revision of the useful life of certain refining assets.
Ebit RCA decreased to €257 m, while Ebit IFRS increased €87 m YoY to €243 m. There was an inventory effect of €23 m and non-recurring items reached €37 m, mainly related to restructuring costs and to impairments in refining equipment.

Total NG/LNG volumes sold increased 10% YoY to 1,861 mm³, mostly due to higher network trading volumes and higher sales to direct clients.
During the quarter, network trading volumes increased 159 mm3 to 370 mm3 . On the other hand, five LNG trading operations were carried out, based on sale contracts previously established (structured contracts), one less than during the previous quarter.
Sales to direct clients increased 6%, with a 7% increase in volumes sold to the electrical segment to 376 mm³, benefiting from lower renewable production in Iberia. Volumes sold in the conventional segment (industrial and retail) went up 5% YoY, mostly due to higher consumption from the units installed in the Galp refineries.
Sales of electricity increased 123 GWh YoY to 1,292 GWh, due to higher sales of electricity to the grid by the cogenerations and the start of production of five new wind farms during 2016, with a combined capacity of c.172 MW.
Sales of natural gas in 2016 decreased 8% YoY to 7,065 mm³, mainly reflecting the lower volumes sold in the trading segment.
Volumes sold in this segment decreased 14%, due to fewer opportunities in the international markets. There were 25 LNG trading operations during the period, eight less than during the previous year. Network trading volumes amounted to 1,151 mm3 .
Volumes sold to the electrical segment reached 1,179 mm3 , up 9% YoY, mostly from the lower use of coal for electricity generation in Iberia.
Volumes sold in the conventional market decreased 6%, particularly due to increased competition in the industrial segment. The sale in 2015 of the marketing activities related to the Spanish residential segment also contributed to this decrease.
Sales of electricity increased 374 GWh YoY to 5,010 GWh, mainly due to the increased production from the wind farms in which Galp holds a stake, and to the higher sales of electricity to the grid by the cogenerations in the refineries.
Ebitda RCA for the G&P business during the fourth quarter of 2016 was down €36 m YoY to €53 m, following the lower contribution from the natural gas activity and the deconsolidation of the regulated infrastructure business.
Ebitda for the natural gas segment was €34 m, a decrease of €25 m compared to the previous year, which had benefited from a higher NG/LNG sourcing optimisation effect.
Ebitda for the regulated infrastructure business was €8 m, due to the deconsolidation of Galp Gás Natural Distribuição, S.A. (GGND) as of the end of October, following the conclusion of the deal announced during the third quarter.
Ebitda for the power business was €10 m, up €11 m compared to the previous year, which had been negatively affected by the sub-optimal operation of the cogeneration units.
Ebit RCA went down €21 m to €42 m. The inventory effect was €3 m and non-recurring items amounted to €2 m. Ebit IFRS reached €43 m, compared to €58 m the previous year.
Results from associated companies increased to €20 m, reflecting the partial contribution from GGND.
Ebitda for the G&P segment decreased €69 m YoY to €313 m during the year, mainly following lower results from the natural gas activity.
Ebitda for the natural gas segment decreased 23% YoY to €194 m, mostly due to narrowed opportunities in the international LNG market.
Ebitda of the regulated infrastructure business was €100 m, down €29 m YoY, reflecting the lower remuneration rate during the second half of 2016 and the full deconsolidation of GGND in November and December.
Ebitda for the power business increased €18 m compared to the previous year, which had been affected by the sub-optimal operation of the cogeneration units and by the lag in the natural gas purchase price indexes, compared to the pricing formulas of energy produced.
Ebit RCA was €253 m, down €49 m YoY. The inventory effect was €3 m in the period. Ebit IFRS reached €251 m, compared to €275 m the previous year.
Results from associated companies related to the G&P business amounted to €70 m.

RCA Ebit was €238 m, up €60 m YoY, while IFRS Ebit increased €239 m to €221 m.
Results from associated companies remained stable at €24 m.
Financial results were negative €27 m, and included a €14 m loss in the mark-to-market operations, mainly related to refining margin hedging. Net financial interest was €22 m, down €3 m YoY.
RCA taxes increased to €88 m, due to higher E&P results. Taxes on oil and gas production totalled €57 m.
Non-controlling interests, mainly attributable to Sinopec's stake in Petrogal Brasil, increased €19 m to €27 m.
Net income RCA reached €121 m, down €27 m YoY, considering a €67 m inventory effect and non-recurring items of €108 m. The impairments were mainly in block 14 in Angola, as well as in relation to the transfer of contracts for the construction of the replicant FPSO hulls.
IFRS net income was €80 m.
Results fourth quarter 2016 February 21, 2017
RCA Ebitda was €1,411 m, down €127 m YoY, following a lower contribution from the R&M and G&P business segments. IFRS Ebitda was €1,389 m.
RCA Ebit decreased 20% to €772 m, while IFRS Ebit increased €120 m to €544 m.
Results from associated companies accounted for €85 m, in line YoY.
Financial results were negative €25 m, compared to -€70 m the previous year. This was due to a gain of €17 m in mark-to-market hedging operations, which compares to a loss of €13 m during 2015, and also to a €19 m decrease in net interest.
RCA taxes stood in line YoY at €289 m.
Non-controlling interests, primarily attributable to Sinopec, increased €8 m to €61 m, following improved results in Brazil.
RCA net income was €483 m, down €156 m YoY, while IFRS net income was €179 m.
The inventory effect was €20 m and non-recurring items reached €324 m, including the asset impairments in Angola, as well as in relation to the transfer of contracts for the construction of the replicant FPSO hulls.
The CESE tax had a negative impact on IFRS results of around €56 m, of which c.€28 m related to CESE I, whose annual impact was fully accounted for in the first quarter. CESE II also amounted to c.€28 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 CESE laws have no legal grounds and, accordingly, such amounts are not due.

3 Includes CTAs (Cumulative Translation Adjustment) and partial reimbursement of the loan granted to Sinopec.
The deal regarding the partial sale of the share capital of GGND was concluded at the end of October. As such, GGND ceased to be fully consolidated from that date, resulting in a €632 m positive impact from deconsolidation plus €141 m cash proceeds to Galp. Hence, the total impact from GGND deal in the Group's financial position amounted to €773 m.
Excluding that impact, net debt during the fourth quarter would have decreased by €160 m.
During 2016, net debt decreased €550 m, on the back of the partial divestment of the regulated infrastructure activity.
Excluding that impact, net debt would have increased by €223 m after dividends, considering the strong cash flow from operations of €1,469 m.

Galp's consolidated financial statements for the years ended on 31 December 2016 and 2015 have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. The financial information in the consolidated income statement, as well as the consolidated financial position, is reported for the quarters ended on 31 December 2016 and 2015, and on 30 September 2016.
Galp's financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS, and the cost of goods sold is valued at weighted-average cost. 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 Company's results, without being an indicator of its true performance, 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.
For the purpose of evaluating Galp's operating performance, RCA profit measures exclude nonrecurring items and the inventory effect, the latter because the cost of goods sold and materials consumed has been calculated according to the Replacement Cost (RC) valuation method.
As of October 1, 2016, the contribution of the trading activity related to the oil produced, which was previously accounted for under R&M, started to be accounted for under E&P. The full year impacts on E&P and R&M were accounted for in the fourth quarter of 2016.
During the fourth quarter of 2016, the useful life of certain refining assets was reviewed, leading to an increase in DD&A for the second half of 2016. The fourth quarter of 2016 includes the third quarter impact.
Effective on 1 January 2016, exchange rate differences from operating activities are allocated to operating results of the respective business segment. Until the end of 2015, these exchange rate differences were accounted for under financial results. These changes were applied to 2015 figures in order to make periods comparable.
Following an accounting interpretation from Portuguese Securities Market Commission regarding the accounting treatment for CESE I, Galp started to recognise the full year cost and liability as of 1 January, instead of deferring the cost along the year. Regarding the energy sector contribution in Spain, to the Fondo Nacional de Eficiencia Energética, the impact was also fully accounted for during the first quarter of 2016. These changes were applied to 2015 figures in order to make periods comparable.
The benchmark refining margin is calculated with the following weighting: 45% hydrocracking margin + 42.5% Rotterdam cracking margin + 7% Rotterdam base oils + 5.5% Aromatics.
The Rotterdam hydrocracking margin has the following profile: -100% Brent dated, +2.2% LGP FOB Seagoing (50% Butane + 50% Propane), +19.1% PM UL NWE FOB Bg., +8.7% Naphtha NWE FOB Bg., +8.5% Jet NWE CIF, +45.1% ULSD 10 ppm NWE CIF Cg. +8.9% LSFO 1% FOB Cg; Terminal rate: \$1/ton; Ocean loss: 0.15% over Brent dated; Freight 2015: WS Aframax (80 kts) Route Sullom Voe / Rotterdam – Flat \$7.60/ton. Yields in % of weight.
The Rotterdam cracking margin has the following profile: -100% Brent dated, +2.3% LGP FOB Seagoing (50% Butane + 50% Propane), +25.4% PM UL NWE FOB Bg., +7.5% Naphtha NWE FOB Bg., +8.5% Jet NWE CIF, +33.3% ULSD 10 ppm NWE CIF Cg. and +15.3% LSFO 1% FOB Cg.; C&L: 7.4%; Terminal rate: \$1/ton; Ocean loss: 0.15% over Brent dated; Freight 2015: WS Aframax (80 kts) Route Sullom Voe / Rotterdam – Flat \$7.60/ton. Yields in % of weight.
Base oils refining margin: -100% Arabian Light, +3.5% LGP FOB Seagoing (50% Butane + 50% Propane), +13.0% Naphtha NWE FOB Bg., +4.4% Jet NWE CIF, +34.0% ULSD 10 ppm NWE CIF, +4.5% VGO 1.6% NWE FOB Cg.,+ 14%; Base Oils FOB, +26% HSFO 3.5% NWE Bg.; Consumptions: -6.8% LSFO 1% CIF NWE Cg.; Losses: 7.4%; Terminal rate: \$1/ton; Ocean loss: 0.15% over Arabian Light; Freight 2015: WS Aframax (80 kts) Route Sullom Voe / Rotterdam – Flat \$6.95/ton. Yields in % of weight.
Rotterdam aromatics margin: -60% PM UL NWE FOB Bg., -40% Naphtha NWE FOB Bg., +37% Naphtha NWE FOB Bg., +16.6% PM UL NWE FOB Bg., +6.5% Benzene Rotterdam FOB Bg., +18.5% Toluene Rotterdam FOB Bg., +16.6% Paraxylene Rotterdam FOB Bg., +4.9% Ortoxylene Rotterdam FOB Bg. Consumption: -18% LSFO 1% CIF NEW. Yields in % of weight.
According to this method of valuing inventories, 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 operational performance.

This report has been prepared by Galp Energia SGPS, S.A. ("Galp" or the "Company") and may be amended and supplemented.
This report does not constitute or form part of and should not be construed as, an offer to sell or issue or the solicitation of an offer to buy or otherwise acquire securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates in any jurisdiction or an inducement to enter into investment activity in any jurisdiction. Neither this report nor any part thereof, nor the fact of its distribution, shall form the basis of, or be relied on in connection with, any contract or commitment or investment decision whatsoever in any jurisdiction.
This report may include forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements other than in respect of historical facts. The words "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "intends", "estimate", "will", "may", "continue", "should" and similar expressions usually identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may include statements regarding: objectives, goals, strategies, outlook and growth prospects; future plans, events or performance and potential for future growth; liquidity, capital resources and capital expenditures; economic outlook and industry trends; energy demand and supply; developments of Galp's markets; the impact of regulatory initiatives; and the strength of Galp's competitors.
The forward-looking statements in this report are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in the Company's records and other data available from third parties. Although Galp believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, these assumptions are inherently subject to significant known and unknown risks, uncertainties, contingencies and other important factors which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond its control. No assurance, however, can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Important factors that may lead to significant differences between the actual results and the statements of expectations about future events or results include the Company's business strategy, industry developments, financial market conditions, uncertainty of the results of future projects and operations, plans, objectives, expectations and intentions, among others. Such risks, uncertainties, contingencies and other important factors could cause the actual results of Galp or the industry to differ materially from those results expressed or implied in this report by such forward-looking statements.
Real future income, both financial and operating; an increase in demand and change to the energy mix; an increase in production and changes to Galp's portfolio; the amount and various costs of capital, future distributions; increased resources and recoveries; project plans, timing, costs and capacities; efficiency gains; cost reductions; integration benefits; ranges and sale of products; production rates; and the impact of technology can differ substantially due to a number of factors. These factors may include changes in oil or gas prices or other market conditions affecting the oil, gas, and petrochemical industries; reservoir performance; timely completion of development projects; war and other political or security disturbances; changes in law or government regulation, including environmental regulations and political sanctions; the outcome of commercial negotiations; the actions of competitors and customers; unexpected technological developments; general economic conditions, including the occurrence and duration of economic recessions; unforeseen technical difficulties; and other factors.
The information, opinions and forward-looking statements contained in this report speak only as at the date of this report, and are subject to change without notice. Galp and its respective representatives, agents, employees or advisors do not intend to, and expressly disclaim any duty, undertaking or obligation to, make or disseminate any supplement, amendment, update or revision to any of the information, opinions or forward-looking statements contained in this report to reflect any change in events, conditions or circumstances.
